______________________________________________________________

The pain is his gut is searing, stabbing, it feels like being eaten alive. The sensation bringing dread threatening to send him into a spiral of panic and melancholy. But he fights to remain focused and lucid.

No,...he won't give in, he won't complain, he's had worse hasn't he? It's his fault for dropping his guard, even here, far from his kingdom.... others tried to end his life for unknown reasons.

However, luckily this planet's poisons, at the very least, did not turn ones skin to ash or stone.

Not that he knew of.

He's hesitant to lean fully on the man, unsure if the dead weight of him And his weapon would cause staggering or discomfort for the other. He isnt quite underestimating the other's strength. More like how much they'd tolerate before wanting Ved to go away. He doesn't want to push his luck and get no help.

But his body does the deciding for him when a crushing wave of pain and nausea hits Ved like a brick to the face, making him stagger and choke, coughing. In answer to the question, from his side-pouch he produces a broken circular weapon sharp and tinted a vibrant orange and deep purplish-red. Namely, the poison and Ved's strange coloured blood.

Once sat down, Ved winces and starts to unstrap the sheath on his back. He can take pain, sure, but laying on a sword, even the flat side, doesn't sit right with him.

It's harder than it should be, or so he tells himself. Bloodloss, having only one hand free and strange terrible poison be damned. He /should/ be able to do this.

His eyes narrow ever so slightly when his claws slip off the buckle due to the slickness of the blood. He doesn't want to need help with this, but he does. He sighs and rests his hand at his side.

He wants to apologise, but that would be foolish. He doesn't need to bring misfortune pon this place for no reason.

He's glaring right at Wolfwood, mentally trying to blow his head with his mind. Was it successful? Of course it wasn't. No lick of success. "Y'know. If you wanted something to eat, I could've gotten you something as well! Look! Plate! Empty! You rob me off sating my hunger!"

Socks stands there a moment, processing what's been said, it's always a struggle to pay attention to what people were saying on the job. Well, 95% of the time anyway. Off work... who knows, it's not like they have anyone to talk to. At most, they're talked *at*.

They don't really know why, and had hazarded a guess that it was because they want it to be over. But who knew? There was a lot that was wrong with them that nobody had bothered to address outside arguments and fights.

A lot they dismissed as normal inconvenience. Surely it was common.

But that was neither here nor there, they note his claws. Sharp, too close to their hands. But the same can be said for their's and his hands. Their own are painted blue and black Simple half-and-half, they hadn't had the energy for more. Decorated weapons that wouldn't hesitate to use if need be.

In answer, they shake their head a few times and say,

"No, far a'th I'm aware, the box will be inviolable. Hm... how about thi'th? I will remain nearby to help dimini'th'h your fear of bomb'th or expol'th'ives or whatever. I do know that there are three thing'th in there, and you.... definitely need them."

Too many damn 'S's in that whole damn statement. They needed one of those machines that let people put words in and it would talk for them. A marvel they never could remember the name of, they'd seen it in a few dimensions. Ah well, focus, focus. Focus...

They don't push more, letting him take that in and decide what to do. Honestly, even if he decides to keep it closed or try to hand it back, it would find its way back to him. Fate was an inexorable thing....the bastard. One way or another that box would be opened by this stranger, and Then *after* that occured, he had some choices. Accept the items, or tempt Fate and do an endless variety of things with them. Though it never seemed that serious to most unless they were told. And convinced. And explained to. [Ugh]

Otherwise, It was just refusing weird junk.

Hopefully, they wouldn't have to stay and watch this go on. But because there's been no automatic portal back home, and they're getting the nagging feeling that they're going to be /blocked/ should they make their own or use the magick chalk. Basically that the magick chalk would make a door....but lead nowhere but back here. And that feeling isn't often wrong about Fate's and Kiki's bullshit. Universe kill them now.

"Up to you."

@stellarhistoria liked for a ZACK starter

"The buster sword suits you."

Zack Fair-- the man who should have died-- but didn't.

Or at least-- he had? Maybe? Some strange twist of fate had led to him surviving his last stand. He wasn't sure how or why. But he had been driven to Wutai-- like a moth to a flame. It was like something inside Cloud called out to him.

Like a beacon.

"I'm glad you're alright, Cloud. I was pretty worried about ya-- but look at you now. I hear you're a mercenary-- and you made quite a name for yourself back in Midgar."

[goddessofsuns]

@stellarhistoria asked : [ zack to shiranui ]

"Tell me about it." the far younger man, only in his middle age years, smiles warmly, making an open handed gesture to speak, to continue, to not hide. "No one should have to shoulder the weight of eternity on their own. If it may help, I'd... like to at least listen, though I may not fully understand."

He steps back at the sudden voice. Eyes a bit wide as the other caught him off guard. How’d he even know what he was? He tried not to make it obvious! Who even was this person?

“You should leave. I’m not one to talk to mortals.” He huffs looking away from him.

{♕} Well, that...was a mistake. 

Sora thought to himself as he limped from the wreckage of the Gummi ship. He had attempted to fly himself to visit Cid in Traverse Town, but a meteor had knocked him off course. Losing control of the ship once it had been hit, Sora plummeted towards Port Royal. Upon waking up, he crawl out of the wreckage and began hobbling towards the port. He should have brought Goofy or Donald with him...but he was excited to finally have the keys to himself, he didn’t think he needed to bring any of them. 

Once he reached the port, he reached for the nearest person, lightly tugging at the back of their coat. “Uhm-..excuse me..? ..could...you point me towards the nearest...d..doctor’s office?”

Come again to a road diverged in the wood of your morality : to do or deny .  But the doe is wise ( or foolishly blinded by a one-sided faith & fondness ) , and knows better than to neglect the hunter’s whims.  And it is to him , ALWAYS , that they owe their life and strength.  Or so they have been led to believe ( & is this so wrong ? has he not done them well this whole time ? ) .

Thus , they DO , as they have done and done and done so afore ; a creature of destruction , their sins honed and weaponized for the sake of the crusade unending.  And perched thereupon the mesa , shrouded in a pelt of thick furs dappled with glimmering stones , Kaen overlooks their craft with an a p p r a i s i n g air ( pride is not their vice , so forgive them for this instant of meager vanity ; it is , of course , an art ) .  Bespectacled blues follow the chaos , the rolling plumes of flame and smoke tarnishing the vista , polluting the night’s horizon— And they know well by now , that this is a step f o r w a r d .  Not back.  They are doing the right thing ( & yet … their heart burdens the weight of the dying irregardless , this is not their work , this is not their war , but far be it for them to change course when they've come so far ) .

When all’s gone silent , Kaen sighs softly ( shakily ) .  It is done , either way.  They spare a glance down the incline , searching the darkness a moment before looking forward again.  He’ll be expecting them , yes , but there is one more thing they do during these rituals : a last grace .  Into the furls and folds of their furs seeks metal talons of an arm long-lost , withdrawing a pan flute.  And , the eerie stillness of the world is broken by the melancholy melody they play ; a soft eulogy , a gentle r e m e d y for the wastes that breaks beyond the shadows and smolder , lingering in the distant breeze.  They , the wee doe , the pied piper come to collect the souls lost.  Their playing stops suddenly , as if startled.  ❝ Ah was a’mos’ done , ❞ Kaen says quietly , apologetically , looking up at the Independent approaching them , ❝ Was … Was Ah takin’ too long ? ❞

Oh, you've really done it now, Guizhong Xiangu thought as a loud explosion rang out. She just barely managed to avoid being hit by the blast, her Vision-Powered Wheeled Chair racing away from the radius.

Two angry slimes followed her, and she quickly shot out Geo crystals from her Catalyst. This was fine. This was completely and utterly fine. Everything was definitely going according to plan.

Sensing the presence of another, she called out, "Don't worry! I have this under control!"

"──Excuse meeeee, excuse me. Vash the Stampede is coming through! I highly recommend y'all run off now, scram!" The outlaw shouted out, not wanting anyone to get caught in the crossfire. Then Vash skids, cutting the corner to hopefully escape only to bump into someone. And without a second thought, Vash scrambles behind the stranger. "You think you can do a favour and attempt to hide me? I'll give you all of my money." Pause. "At least half of my money." Pause. Back to reconsidering. "At least some..."

@stellarhistoria asked: are you free tonight ? - Luka / Questioning minds.

"Am I free tonight?" A brow was raised as he looked the others way but his shoulders quickly rose and fell in a soft motion. "Sure, I'm free." He wondered just what it was Luka wanted from him and why it had to wait until later but he supposed he'd find out in due time.

" You look famished, " You remarked casually as you loomed over Kaveh, and you raised your brows. You knew he tended to unintentionally skip meals in favor of work - you tend to do the same thing. Cooking means time wasted when time can be used for work - or at least that's your mentality on days where you were fixated on your work.

" I can make you come pierogis, " You offered casually, brow raising as you gazed at the blueprints he was working on. " They're light, but pretty filling, and you don't have to think in order to eat them. I think you'd like them, if you like fried foods. "
