au. hector interrogates charles

Charles Lonnit. Twenty-seven years old. UK originally. Works as a crime reporter, most recently writing about the Beast of Arkansas.

He's the prime suspect in the Beast case.

Hector sighs, lifting his gaze from the file in his hands and looking at Charles sitting in the interrogation room. The young man looked very nervous, awkwardly looking around the empty room with his clear blue eyes, looking like a timid kitten about to be scolded for God knows what. Though actually it was clear for what - he had been caught red-handed at the crime scene, standing right over the corpse of another victim of the Beast of Arkansas. Hector saw with his own eyes Charles holding a camera, standing over the body of the poor woman, seemingly intent on taking the last picture of his creation.

Munday sighs heavily. There's something telling him that something isn't right here. It seems to have come out too easily. And Charles looks so broken and traumatised… it doesn't look like the behavior of the serial killer the FBI caught. He looks more like a teenager caught with some weed. It seems that if Hector walks into the room now, he will immediately start begging pitifully not to say anything to his parents.

Hector opens the door and goes inside. Lonnit immediately flinches, straightening up and looking at him with wide blue eyes. "You have to listen to me, I'm not the one you're looking for, I'm not a murderer, I'm just an investigative journalist!"

Munday replies nothing, silently pushing back his chair and sitting down opposite the young man, who is now looking at him with desperate hope. Hector tosses the folder carelessly onto the table. "You arrived in the country just a week before the first victim of the Beast of Arkansas was supposedly killed, Mr Lonnit. You know that?" says Munday calmly, only after these words raising his gaze to Charles' face, scrutinising all his emotions. And they were all really visible on his face, Lonnit looks like an open book. Very touching and emotional. Could this be just a mask for the cold-blooded serial killer he'd been looking for for so many months?

"W-well y-yes, I… I came to the US because I wanted to start working here, I was offered to work for a publication, I couldn't miss such an opportunity…" in a shaky voice tries to explain Charlie.

"Miss such an opportunity to write about your own murders?" asks Munday casually, staring coldly at the man in front of him.

"I didn't kill anyone!" says Lonnit anxiously.

"You were caught at the crime scene over the body of a woman who had just been murdered," remarks Hector.

"But I didn't kill her! Look, I'm telling the truth! I was just investigating, just like you, and came to the conclusion that he was killing these realtors somewhere he could have invited them to inspect the building, under some pretext… I visited another abandoned place before that, but found nothing there, and then I went there, and found this woman! I didn't kill her, she was already dead when I got there!" the young man raised his gaze, looking into his eyes sincerely, very anxiously.

Hector endured that look, remaining just as unwavering. After a couple of moments, he sighs quietly, lowering his gaze and opening a folder, pulling out some pictures of the women killed by the Beast and placing them in front of Lonnit on the table. The young man shudders. "Jesus," he says, squinting and looking away. Munday notices that his eyes are slightly wet with approaching tears. Charles purses his lips, trying to hold it back.

"What do you know about these women, Mr. Lonnit?" asks the FBI agent coldly.

"God, well of course I know a lot about them, I've written a dozen articles about the Beast's murders by now!" replies Charles nervously, continuing to avoid looking at the pictures. "And no, I haven't met them personally, none of them."

"I've read your articles" notes Hector after a brief pause. "Quite good ones. And there are sometimes some very interesting details and thoughts in them" Munday tilts his head slightly to the side, looking intently into Lonnit's face, as if studying every inch of his face, as if trying to see the imperfections in the mask he might have worn. "Where did you get those details you wrote about?"

"I…" Charlie falls silent. Hector tilts his head slightly to the side again, looking with interest at the way the suspect's ears flushed. That's… interesting.

"How did you get that information, Mr. Lonnit?" he presses.

"I slept with one of the medical examiners and deceived him by taking his phone" says Charles quietly and quickly, squinting with embarrassment, ashamed to admit that sort of thing.

Munday squints for a few moments, looking at him interestedly, then exhales, leaning back in his chair, saying nothing.

"I'm not a murderer, Agent Munday, believe me! I'm just a journalist… yes, I may not be the nicest and most law-abiding person, but I would never… I'm not a serial killer. And not a sociopath!" he says, raising his gaze again to Hector's eyes. His hands are shaking. It's as if he's about to cry from the unpleasant, pressing atmosphere.

"I know," Munday replies calmly and much more gently than before, and Charlie looks at him with the look of a shocked kitten. Hector reaches out and gathers all the pictures from the table, tucking them away in a folder so they don't make Lonnit nervous any more. "You don't fit the profile. The killer I'm looking for is a cold-blooded psychopath who enjoys the sight of violence and is eager to get caught, just to claim himself and his merits. He's strong, he's smart. You, on the other hand, are pathetic, Charlie. You're not capable of murder."

Charlie lowered his gaze awkwardly before looking into the agent's face again. "Rude… a bit offensive… but am I free?" he asks hopefully.

"There wasn't a drop of blood on your clothes, your fingerprints weren't found anywhere in the building and on the victim as well, and besides… the victim resisted. As far as they told me, they didn't find any marks of it on you."

"So… you knew from the beginning that I am innocent?" asks a somewhat bewildered Lonnit. "But then why did you… why did you interrogate me as if I were guilty?"

Hector shrugs, looking him in the eye. "I was just curious."

"What were you curious about?" asks confusedly Lonnit.

"You."

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

having svsss au ideas beyond my station

thinking. shang qinghua goes on a mission as a young disciple to some town in fuckoff nowhere and finds himself in the qiu household. and there he finds a young shen jiu, undergoing the plot he originally intended for him and hadn't realised had become real and he's so young oh god hes so young why is he so small what do you mean that part was real, he hadn't kept it why is it real—

and he panics and sneaks him the Fuck out of that house

and he's not sure what to do but surely sending him to cang qiong will fuck up something in the plot and he can't come under even more investigation and cang qiong tryouts dont happen for months anyway and his system would probably never allow it (it doesnt. it would interfere with yue qingyuans story) but shen jiu is refusing to stay anywhere near this place and wants to learn cultivating to protect himself make sure nothing like this ever happens again and sqh panics harder and

calls mobei jun.

okay. on second thought, maybe this was a bad idea. but he stumbles over himself and shushes baby shen jiu's very understandable freaking out and asks his king for the first thing hes ever asked for other than his own life.

is there any way this human child could learn cultivation in the demon world?

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

Commissioned the amazing @magua-vida to draw my original Princesses, The Dancer & The Dream! I'm absolutely delighted with how they came out, they both look so pretty and bursting with personality!

For anyone who doesn't want to click through, you get the Dancer if you unlock the Princess's cuff & die of a heart attack, making her flighty but concerned, fussing over your health & safety. The Dream is Dancer's unique Chapter 3, who you get if you fall asleep in the cabin with Dancer fussing over you, and is smotheringly protective to the point of aggression & possessiveness while acting manipulatively sweet & fragile.

She just wants to take care of you... even (or especially) if it means chaining you up to keep you safe.

While venturing an ancient gem temple, they stumbled upon a modified light that can corrupt humans! Connie was able to fully move Steven out of the beam's range by pushing him off the stairs.

Commissioned by TheTinman1996! Thank you for commissioning!! 😁

So like we all agree that Ras’ “Master” is the Overlord, right? They’re trying to hide it but it feels pretty obvious. Especially considering that the voice is reminiscent of his first appearance as Spiky Blob in s2, and the void Ras is pulled into reminds me of the void Harumi was in when she died. You’re not slick Ninjago writers I’m onto you

More notes for Roach conlanging. Roach has grammatical gender, in which only Male, Female, and Object are grammatical genders, whereas Worker uses feminine grammar, Queen and King use a slight variant on feminine grammar, and Drone, and Queen-Alate use masculine grammar. This is because King is derived from Queen, due to their similar positions in a colony, and Queen-Alate is derived from Drone, as both are forms of alate.

Queen is an alteration of feminine grammar that functionally just adds a handful of extra syllables to it, and King is an offsprout of Queen that uses the same grammar with different pronouns. Queen-Alate, despite the name, is derived from Drone, as they are both for referring to different types of alate ant.

Most Roach dialects are intelligible to speakers of Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach, but Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach is not entirely intelligable to speakers of Roach dialects due to a mix of the excessively specialized vocabulary caused by the specific needs of its speakers, the fact that its speakers do not necessarily have Roach mouthparts and thus may not pronounce syllables in a similar way, and due to the fact that Inanimate Object is a full grammatical gender that does not exist in any other dialect of roach and replaces a decent chunk of terminology for things that previously had Other Words For Them.

WHY ARE YOU SO EVIL!!! /POS. ATTACKING YOU.

Xemnas and Xigbar for 37 if that number hasn't been done? If it has, how about 74?

no puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal // ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti.

[ID: a mostly black and white drawing with a purple overlay of xigbar and xemnas shown from the hip up on the left side of the image. the background is black and has some diagonal lines with a bit of transparency on the right side. the shadows are harsh, with only a bit of light falling on their faces.

they stand before each other turned to the audience. xigbar, holds the handle and the middle of No Name before him, head tilted down as he looks to the audience. xemnas stands a full head taller behind xigbar, his left hand held some distance below the bladed tip of No Name, his left eye is covered by his fringe.

xemnas visible eye is painted ochre with a white pupil, while xigbar's eye is white and gold. The eyes on no name's handle and the gazing eye on the blade are a vibrant cyan. the caption reads the spanish lyrics "i can't ask a simple mortal for a forever" and "oh, everything i've done for you." /End ID.]
