He found the rabbit among endless dunes of rock and rubble; a frightened, jumpy little beast that required a firm hand to tame, and an even steadier one to control.

And while it would’ve been easier to dump ‘em at Super Duper Mart -- get his caps worth, pounds of flesh for vials of chem -- he took a shine. Now, what exactly it is about you that captured his attention so thoroughly, he can’t be sure (though he could hazard a few guesses).

What he does know is this: if it wasn’t for him, you’d have been killed a million times over by raiders, fiends, and ferals alike. Always finding your way into trouble as soon as his back is turned.

Like now.

So if he’s a little rough with you, it’s only because he had to haul ass half-way across the flooded district when he heard you scream.

Nevermind the hard lurch of his heart, the sensation of his stomach droppin’ to his feet. You were supposed to be safe, holed up in the building he cleared yesterday.

Surprise, surprise; you decided to go poking where you shouldn’t, and now he’s gotta rescue your dumb ass. Skidded around a bombed out building only to find you fighting off a small pack of ferals, their rotted hands scratching at your arms and their teeth gnashing at your face.

Goddamn it.

Same shit, different day.

“What did I fuckin’ say?” he snarls, chapped lips pressed tight against your ear as sharp hip bones rut into the softness of your ass. “You’re dumber than shit sometimes.”

“I-I’m sorry! I didn’t - hhahh, slow down - didn’t mean to cause trouble.” Your hands scramble for purchase, nail beds aching from how hard you’re digging at the dirt.

Shoved onto the ground, pants sagging around your thighs as a stray rock digs into your cheek, scraping up the tender skin. “Won’t do it again, I promise.”

The Ghoul snorts, delivers a stinging nip to the tip of your ear. Your reedy whine soothes some of the agitation but he’s still bristling, aggression threaded through with tendrils of panic he refuses to acknowledge.

“I highly doubt that.”

You hiccup, knees spreading wide as your back dips - trying to get away, to get closer.

The fat head of his cock keeps hitting your cervix with every stroke, little fissions of pain kissed pleasure racketing up your spine as he stretches you past your limits and fucks you open.

Your gummy walls swollen and raw from the constant friction of his shaft, the rad burns scraping your insides up. Clit aching and so wet you’re dripping, a damp patch of earth beneath you.

“No, promise I’ll be good!” You pant, the scent of sunbaked soil and stagnant water heavy in your nose. “Please, please, please.”

Everything aches, limbs sore from your tussle and pride bruised as sweat dapples your brow, sticks the fine baby hairs to the back of your neck.

A hand clamps down on your hip so hard bones grind, yanking you back into every punishing thrust. Heavy balls smack against your clit on the in-stroke, stoking the embers of your desire. Your toes curl in your boots.

“I’ll believe it when I see it, bunny.” The Ghoul grabs your elbow with his free hand, tugging you up into his chest so his chin hooks over your shoulder, breath puffing along the side of your cheek. “You just don’ know when ta learn. So I’m gonna have’ta teach you. An’ I’ll do it as many times as it takes, you hear?”

You sniffle, nuzzling the back of your head against his face. “I mean it,” you say. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know there’d be any ferals around. Was just trying to find some more food.”

Groaning, his hips kick forward in a softer grind, still so deep you feel him in your stomach - pussy filled to the brim with cock - but not as harsh as before. As close as you’ll get to an apology until he’s done.

“This is your fault - you got ‘em all riled. Now, we gotta make you smell like me so take your punishment like a good bunny 'fore I decide ta eat you instead.”

And you do, letting him rut into you until he’s satisfied, aching and so swollen by the end of it that he has to bully his way in with every thrust, your pussy clamping down and milking him for all he’s worth.

When he finally does pump you full, you’re dumb and dripping. Limp limbed and sagging into the ground - only held up by the cage of his arms. Thighs shaking and clit pulsing in time with your heartbeat as he wrings every last bit of pleasure out of you.

“Sometimes,” he says, sitting back on his heels to watch as his cum oozes out of you in a sticky rush, dripping down your folds, “I think dumb bunnies like you are only good fer one thing.”

You whine when his thumb whispers over your clit, caressing your folds as he gathers up his spend. Gently fucks it back into you with shallow thrusts of his fingers. 

“But that’s all right, I like ‘em a lil dumb.”

[opiopal]

for some reason I like, REALLY love imagining Mc getting into scuffles with students at RAD,

I think it’s just funny to me to imagine my Mc just suddenly slapping some RAD student being nasty and rude just out of the blue,

but I guess just in general the idea seems a little silly to me, this human that came down and charmed all seven of the brothers, the future demon king, the future kings time bending butler, Solomon the sorcerer, three angels, a devildom noble and best friend of the future demon king, and a reaper, the human that is known for being kind and understanding and loving… just, deciding to punch you in the face for saying you don’t know why mammon is so dumb- you don’t even get to finish your full insult before they just seemingly appear out of thin air and deck you in the face?

I think this also stays the same amount of funny in nightbringer, imagine this random demon who came out of nowhere and is now super duper protective of these seven fallen angels, along with that they have and will bite someone’s ear off like a wild coyote. And it’s just- why??? Who even are you???? Where did you come from??? Why do you care about these guys so much they don’t even act like they like you equally as much??????

but I guess just in general it’s funny to me to imagine that the brothers gain a feral little protector after all the pacts are made, mc WILL hurt people in defense of their found family trope. Which is just ridiculous cause THEY are supposed to protect THEM.

(Luci is constantly under stress once again, the stress will never leave; even once his grey hairs make him look like mams father</3)

Obey Me! Original Lesson 81 Script [FANMADE]

A project a friend and I have been working on for a while. All characters other than Matthias and Saffron belong to NTT Solmare.

YouTube video here: Obey Me! Original Lesson 81 [FANMADE]

Artist for Matthias and Saffron: ti ★ (@sae.yr2997)

81-1

It’s been around a month since MC returned to the Devildom…

[Student Council Room]

Lucifer: Ah, there you are.

Lucifer: You must be wondering why I’ve called you here so suddenly.

Scenario 1

MC: I’m pretty busy.

Lucifer: This is part of your job as an officer now. There are more tasks than you may believe.

Scenario 2

MC: I would like to know.

Lucifer: And you will. Very soon.

End scenario

Lucifer: This has been a particular concern of ours as of recent…

Diavolo: Ah, I wouldn’t say that in such a negative tone. But you are correct, Lucifer.

Barbatos: I am afraid I have to agree.

??? 1: Now, now…you are all so serious. What’s with the atmosphere?

Raphael: It’s normal to be formal in these situations.

??? 2: Raph, you just rhymed.

Raphael: Oh…I suppose I did.

Diavolo: MC, we would like you to meet two of our newest exchange students.

??? 1: That feels good to be recognized. But I have a question: why is RAPHAEL here?

Raphael: Hey, Saffron said she was nervous to meet MC. I thought coming along might ease her a bit.

Lucifer: That loud one there is Matthias, a vampire. The one on Raphael’s back is Saffron…another angel and close to Luke’s age.

Scenario 1

MC: A vampire?

Matthias: As vampire as you can get! My, my, MC…you’re just as cute as I imagined!

Scenario 2

MC: An angel?

Saffron: Hi, MC. I heard lots about you from Raphael and Simeon and Luke.

End scenario

Barbatos: Ahem…as to respect the Young Master’s goal of bringing harmony, it of course does not only refer to the more common species of the three worlds.

Matthias: Are you saying I’m uncommon, Barbatos? Thank you!

Matthias: But I have lived in the Devildom my entire life. It’s not like I’m a reaper.

Barbatos: …And Saffron here is a lower ranking angel, being accompanied by Raphael.

Matthias: Hey…don’t ignore me.

Raphael: But don’t get the wrong idea. She claims she isn’t here to play.

Saffron: Uh…that’s what Luke told me to say. He said we gotta report back to Michael without no intrusions.

Raphael: You know you don’t always have to go by what people say to you, right? Luke may not admit it, but he’s taken a liking to life here.

Saffron: It’s okay! I want to help.

Matthias: How young and naive…

Raphael: You hush.

Lucifer: We expect you to welcome these two and keep an eye on them while they settle in. Unfortunately, it is likely that one of the two parties will be trouble. So do with that what you will.

Barbatos: …

Matthias: …Why are you all staring at me now? Shucks, you guys! You’re going to make me blush ♡

Barbatos: Unfortunately that was no compliment.

Diavolo: Well, aside from that…I take it that having new students will be an exciting and fun time. Be sure to make yourselves at home, Saffron and Matthias.

81-3

Two new exchange students…

Now it’s my job to watch them? Why? Surely Lucifer was overexaggerating the supervision they need…

[Hallway (RAD)]

Matthias: Boo!

Saffron: EEEK!

Matthias: Ahaha! You young ones are so easily spooked, huh? How fun!

Saffron: You aren’t being very nice.

Matthias: Oh, cheer up. You’ll live, I think. Or maybe angels really are more fragile than I thought? Unfortunate…

Saffron: Wha…wait, no! Angels are super duper strong! You don’t know what you’re saying.

Matthias: I’m sure I do. You’re so scared because angels are frail, right? But that’s okay!

Saffron: Hey…

Scenario 1

MC: What’s going on?

Matthias: Oh, hello, MC! I was here just introducing myself to Young Saffron. Isn’t she adorable?

Scenario 2

MC: You guys stop.

Matthias: Dear, me! MC, please don’t misunderstand. We were simply having a fun chat.

End scenario

Saffron: Don’t listen to this bad guy here! He scared me!

Matthias: Aww, you’re cute, huh? Kids and their made-up stories…

Saffron: I’m not lying. Lying is a sin, you know!

Saffron: And MC totally saw you, right?

Matthias: Don’t bring dear MC into this, silly.

MC: I did see. You should leave her alone

Matthias: …! W-Well, I…

Matthias: Truly, it was a mere playful intent. I meant no harm! Promise…

Saffron: I heard bad guys always lie.

Matthias: Oh, Young Saffron? Is that what you believe?

Saffron: It’s what I KNOW.

Matthias: Then you must be mistaking me with someone else. I, Matthias, a truly beautiful specimen, am not a bad guy.

Saffron: Hmph. You’re native to the Devildom, aren’t you? Why did you only come to RAD now?

Matthias: Wouldn’t you like to know?

Scenario 1

MC: I had the same question.

Matthias: Well, don’t get yourself too worried about it! I’ll explain, my dear ♡

Scenario 2

MC: Because he would scare the other angels?

Matthias: Isn’t that a bold assumption? How cute.

Saffron: It’s a likely assumption.

End scenario

Matthias: The truth is, I wanted to think I had so many fans that it would be too much of a hassle to have me here at the beginning of the year���but it turns out Barbatos needed me to eat a certain amount of rats at the Demon Lord’s Castle before he’d even think about letting me attend. He said, “The Royal Academy of Diavolo is not for horseplay. Perhaps it’d be wise to reconsider your wishes if you are unwilling to change your comportment, Matthias.”

Saffron: It sounds like he knows you pretty well. Also, that was a scarily accurate impression…

Matthias: We’re only the bestest of buddies!

Saffron: I meant the horseplay thing. I would know. I like horses.

Saffron: Why is he making you eat rats though?

Matthias: It’s not particularly an issue for me. I like the flavor of rat blood but I do prefer cow or pig blood if you guys were wondering!

Saffron: Not really…

Scenario 1

MC: What about you, Saffron?

Saffron: Me? Oh…it’s like I said before. I’m here to make reports.

Scenario 2

MC: Is Saffron really here to spy on the Devildom?

Saffron: …! That’s a weird way of putting it. It makes it sound like a bad thing.

Matthias: I think that would make Young Luke a spy, too!

End scenario

Saffron: When Simeon and Luke came back after the first exchange, I was less scared of the Devildom after hearing all the good stories they had to share.

Saffron: I was pretty hopeful after that. That maybe I could get to learn about the Devildom firsthand and maybe everyone here isn’t as bad as I used to think.

Saffron: Here I am now, though. But this vampire hasn’t really made me think any higher of this realm than before I got here…

Matthias: Wha—you brat!

Saffron: Sorry?

Matthias: Oh, uhm…I mean, there’s no need to say such things, young one. I can assure you the Devildom is full of lots of fun and you’re free to do whatever you want here! It’s less strict.

Saffron: Whatever I want? I don’t know if I should be trusting YOU to tell me…

Saffron: MC. Is he being honest?

Scenario 1

MC: He’s right about it being less strict, but there are still rules.

Saffron: I see. So I shouldn’t do whatever I want.

Scenario 2

MC: The Celestial Realm has way more rules.

Saffron: Really? But…that’s not a bad thing, is it?

Matthias: It totally is.

Saffron: I wasn’t asking you!

Scenario 3

MC: Nope. A total liar.

Matthias: Ouch… For someone as cute as you, you certainly are brutal, MC…

End scenario

Matthias: I don’t typically lie unless I have a reason to.

Matthias: And plus, it’s not always a bad thing.

Saffron: It is! It’s a sin!

Matthias: A sin it may be, but what if telling the truth got you in trouble, Young Saffron?

Saffron: W…well, then you deserve the punishment.

Matthias: Is that what you believe? Do you think that even the most honest people in the world deserve punishment?

Saffron: If they told the truth for a bad reason…then it must mean whatever they did was bad! So, yes!

Saffron: Wait, I don’t know now… Ugh. You’re making me confused!

Matthias: I’m only saying, young one. What if you had to lie to protect yourself or others? Would you tell the truth and potentially get someone hurt?

Saffron: …I don’t know what you’re saying. 

Matthias: Figures. How young and naive…

Saffron: I heard you the first time you said that!

81-6

[Classroom]

Satan: You seem awfully on edge today, MC.

Asmodeus: Aww…stress isn’t good for the baby sheep! What’s the matter, hmm?

Leviathan: …You have a gift for rubbing people the wrong way, Asmo.

Belphegor: I could guess it’s probably those new students. MC was put in charge of them for their first day, right?

Scenario 1

MC: They don’t seem to like each other.

Leviathan: Really? That sounds entertaining loool.

Beelzebub: But what if they broke out into a fight?

Mammon: Eh, just more entertainment for us!

Scenario 2

MC: It’s been tiring.

Satan: That’s unfortunate.

Belphegor: *sigh*...You’re always getting the tiresome jobs, aren’t you?

Satan: It’d be more evenly spread out among us if certain people actually did their work…

End scenario

Beelzebub: This is actually our first time meeting the new angel.

Leviathan: Yep. Heard she’s doing the same job as Luke but yaps a lot less LMAO.

Asmodeus: BUT they’re both equally as adorable, of course ♡

Mammon: But that ain’t the point. At least we don’t got two Fidos!

Belphegor: Matthias, on the other hand…

Satan: He’s a terror, simply put.

Belphegor: We had known about him for some time now. Apparently he broke into the Demon Lord’s Castle and was almost sent to the dungeon for an eternity.

Belphegor: He might give Mammon a run for his money when it comes to their schemes…

Mammon: Wha?! He ain’t takin’ ANY of my money!

Leviathan: You dummy. That isn’t what he meant lol.

Asmodeus: I can’t help but agree, though… Matthias truly has a talent.

Satan: Which, I assume even you don’t mean as a compliment, Asmo.

Asmodeus: Unfortunately…*sigh*

Beelzebub: But he tries to be nice. It just never usually works that way.

Mammon: Oh yeah, he’s totally obsessed with Beel.

Leviathan: TOTALLY LMAO! He’s like a mega fan!

Beelzebub: You think so?

Belphegor: Don’t listen to them, Beel…

Scenario 1

MC: Any advice you guys?

Satan: Well, the most I can say for now is that make sure they don’t kill each other.

Asmodeus: Yep! The new students have a long way ahead of them!

Scenario 2

MC: I’m already ready to go home.

Belphegor: Yeah, me, too.

Mammon: Same here.

Leviathan: Same…

End scenario

Satan: No matter whether the new exchanges get comfortable or not. 

Satan: MC still has to prepare them for next week’s “problem”. Just like the rest of us are preparing as well.

Leviathan: Riiiight. Next week we’re all getting assigned a room at RAD to decorate for the Ornament Contest.

Asmodeus: Oh, I already know how pretty my assigned room will be! Cute is never impossible when it comes to Asmo ♡

Mammon: Not everyone is gonna vote for cute! Ya gotta be cool with it!

Beelzebub: Or fill the room with a bunch of food so that everyone can eat while they’re voting.

Leviathan: That’s only something you would do, Beel. Lmao.

Ornament Contest? This is the first I’ve heard of it…

Belphegor: What’s with that look, MC? Don’t tell me you didn’t hear the news.

Mammon: I can tell what they’re thinkin’ just by that look on their face. It’s screamin, “Oh, no! What am I gonna do?!” Right?

Satan: In that case, it’d be best if you started planning as soon as possible… You’re an officer now, thus meaning everyone will have higher expectations of you.

Asmodeus: Calm down, Satan! Our poor sheep doesn’t need all this pressure.

It’s true that I’m feeling a bit pressured now…

But how will I help the new exchanges, too?

81-9

[Student Council Room]

Diavolo: Good morning, everyone!

Diavolo: As you may know, starting next week is the Ornament Contest, and each of you will be assigned a room at RAD to decorate to your liking. There will be three winners depending on who gets the most votes.

Diavolo: I know you all are preparing hard, but I have come to inform you that you will be put into groups for this contest.

Satan: Figures…

Asmodeus: *sigh*...

Mammon: Well…as long as I’m in MC’s group!

Leviathan: Hey! Nuh-uh! I’m totally gonna be with MC!

Belphegor: You guys are bold. Obviously I’ll be working with MC.

Lucifer: Shut up. All of you.

Lucifer: It frankly isn’t your choice, and you will be assigned a group without grievances.

Lucifer: *sigh* It is quite embarrassing that my own brothers do not fathom the idea of cooperation…

Satan: Look the other way when you say that.

Beelzebub: I don’t know. It sounds like he means all of us.

Barbatos: We have each group assigned for the council members by now, and everything is almost set in stone as a whole.

Barbatos: Lucifer and Belphegor, you two will be a group. And then we have Satan and Mammon—and Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Leviathan as a trio.

Belphegor: …Hmph.

Leviathan: Stuck with a normie extrovert…and Beel, too…

Asmodeus: Excuse me?

Mammon: Hey, wait! What about MC?! They should totally join MY group if they don’t got one!

Satan: I hate to agree with Mammon on anything, but he’s right. I thought every member had a team at this point.

Lucifer: MC is going to be working with Saffron and Matthias.

Leviathan: …!

Mammon: ?!

Lucifer: Don’t act so surprised… MC has been looking after them since yesterday. I don’t need those two going off the rails unsupervised just because they’re new.

Belphegor: Can’t say I didn’t see that coming, but…is it really okay to pair Saffron and Matthias together? Like, shouldn’t one of us take one of them and MC takes the other?

Lucifer: I already said you will all learn to cooperate. That does not mean just you boisterous six.

Leviathan: Yikes…good luck, MC. I’ll just be imagining all the time we didn’t spend working on this contest together… *sulk*

Barbatos: …

Barbatos: You will all be assigned your rooms first thing tomorrow. 

Barbatos: Already make sure to keep in mind what you may want to plan for the contest. It is usually best to discuss with your group confidentiality.

Mammon: Why?

Satan: So that no one steals our idea, idiot…

Mammon: WHAT’D YOU SAY?!

Satan: Do you really want me to repeat myself?

Belphegor: You probably wanna do something boring, right, Lucifer?

Lucifer: …I will not speak a word. And that was rude.

Belphegor: *yawn*...

Leviathan: …

Beelzebub: …

Asmodeus: …Oh, lighten up, you two! I can’t be the only one coming up with ideas here.

Leviathan: Yeah, well, you can be the leader… You’ll just think all my ideas are lame anyways.

Beelzebub: I’m hungry…

Asmodeus: Oh, for goodness sake, Beel!

Barbatos: Are you alright, MC? You’ve been rather quiet.

Scenario 1

MC: It’s hard to think with all this noise

Barbatos: I can understand that.

Barbatos: These brothers really are a handful, aren’t they?

Scenario 2

MC: I wonder how my group will do.

Barbatos: You needn’t worry about that too much. Try to relax your mind.

End scenario

Barbatos: …*sigh*

Barbatos: I do hope for you to watch over Matthias for me especially.

Barbatos: He hides many things he does not show on his face. Remember that.

81-11

[Cafeteria]

Mephistopheles: Never did I think more of you would show up. Or, maybe that was just wrong on my end. I SHOULD have known…

Saffron: …

Mephistopheles: Shy, are you? Or are you just intimidated by the demon species in general? Figures.

Saffron: …

Mephistopheles: …

Mephistopheles: I am only speaking from honesty. It’s not like I’m trying to scare you or anything.

Saffron: Do you…

Mephistopheles: Pardon?

Saffron: Do you…do you like horses?

Mephistopheles: …Horses? That was an unexpected response. But at least I know you can speak now.

Mephistopheles: But to answer your question, yes. I do in fact like horses.

Saffron: Really? You like horses?

Mephistopheles: I am not repeating myself.

Saffron: That’s super cool, Mister! I really like horses, too!

Mephistopheles: I…

Saffron: I think horses are super pretty and cute and…

Mephistopheles: Here.

Saffron: Huh? What’s this?

Mephistopheles: Come by the Newspaper Club room sometime. You might like it.

Saffron: Oh…thanks! I will!

Scenario 1

MC: Making friends already?

Saffron: Oh, MC!

Saffron: Do you think that was a friendly invite? He seemed sorta mad…

Scenario 2

MC: Well, that was nice of him.

Saffron: Oh, hey, MC!

Saffron: Is he normally not nice? Is that what you mean?

End scenario

Saffron: I want to make friends, but…demons are hard to approach.

Saffron: Not that I don’t like them or anything, though! They’re just…I guess it’s what that mister said, right? They’re intimidating…

Saffron: But I trust what Barbatos said…that mostly everyone is loyal to Diavolo.

Saffron: Mostly everyone…

Saffron: …

Saffron: …Anyway, did you come to talk to me?

. . .

Saffron: What? Really? Me, you, and the vampire mister got put into a group for a contest?

Saffron: That’s…well, I guess there’s no alternative, right? Is that the right word? Luke uses it sometimes.

Saffron: *sigh*...

Saffron: I’m not mad at you, okay? I know it wasn’t your choice. But that vampire mister really knows how to push all my buttons.

Saffron: Luke always said that the demons would be the pesky ones, and I didn’t even begin to think about vampires!

Saffron: I shouldn’t take it out on you.

Saffron: You know what? I’m gonna confront him about his badness! When I see him again, I’ll…I’ll tell him off for being mean. Trust me!

Scenario 1

MC: That’s right, Saffron! Put him in his place.

Saffron: …Hehe. Thanks!

Scenario 2

MC: But remember you still have to work with him eventually.

Saffron: Yeah, I know…but for now this is all I can do to stick up for myself.

End scenario

Saffron: Don’t worry, MC. I’ve got this!

81-14

[Common Room (RAD)]

Thirteen: Man…

Matthias: I haven’t even been here that long…

Thirteen: And you’re in detention? That sucks.

Matthias: Hey! You’re in detention, too!

Thirteen: But this isn’t my first time being in detention. You, however?

Matthias: Is that supposed to be… Wait, how OFTEN are you in here?

Thirteen: Dunno. Lost count.

Matthias: That’s actually…kind of a power move.

Thirteen: Cool? You think so?

Matthias: Duh! If I was in here everyday it’d be clear to me how much attention they’re giving me! Like, are you obsessed or what? Hehe!

Thirteen: What a weird way of thinking. But I like it!

Matthias: Thank you, thank you.

Thirteen: Thirteen, by the way.

Matthias: Thirteen? That feels familiar. But I’m Matthias!

Thirteen: Yeah, yeah, I know who you are. You’re one of the new ones. It’s nice to meet you.

Matthias: You, as well!

Scenario 1

MC: Matthias?

Matthias: What a wonderful surprise! Hello, MC!

Matthias: I suppose it is rather embarrassing for you to see me in such a place, huh? Hehe…

Scenario 2

MC: Why are you in detention?

Matthias: MC! You almost startled me, dear~

Matthias: I’m afraid if I told you I’d have to kill you afterwards…

Matthias: Just kidding! Ahaha, the look on your face!

End scenario

Matthias: I happened to steal some things from the garden, and unfortunately I was caught… They sent me here as punishment.

Thirteen: Geez, you’re bad...

Thirteen: Hey, MC. I heard you had to look after the new guys while they’re getting settled in.

Matthias: It’s the dream! Unless you’re that young angel.

Thirteen: Saffron? Does she not like you?

Matthias: Oh, please. Everybody likes me, dearest Thirteen!

Thirteen: Okay, calm down. We aren’t that close.

Matthias: It’s only an endearment.

MC: Actually, I came to tell Matthias that us three are working on the Ornament Contest together.

Matthias: Oh! Is that so?

Matthias: How fun! They chose me, the lovely Matthias, to be part of MC’s group. Saffron is lucky, too!

Thirteen: I got put with Luke and Raphael.

Thirteen: As long as I get to eat while we work. Luke makes good sweets.

Matthias: Luke? Hmm…I’ve only ever eaten things Barbatos makes. But if Luke is also a baker, I’m definitely going to ask him sometime!

Thirteen: But you can’t go stomping into Purgatory Hall demanding he bakes for you.

Matthias: Don’t worry! The lovely Matthias has a way with his words. I have a talent!

Thirteen: Ooh… I wanna see how that ends up playing out…

Scenario 1

MC: Are you picky?

Matthias: Hmm…I suppose you could put it that way. I’m a blood drinker, so it’s just sort of natural for me to prefer things that give me proper nutrition. The food you guys eat is not that pleasant.

Scenario 2

MC: Why do you only eat Barbatos’ sweets?

Matthias: He knows what I like. It’s hard for me to trust anyone else with my food, you know? But anything that isn’t sweet is a big no for me. Besides, I really only need blood or else I’m weak.

End scenario

Thirteen: Ahaha. You sound like a little kid!

Matthias: Eh? I am not quite sure how I’m meant to take that…so thank you!

81-17

[Garden]

Matthias: Hmm…we’ve been waiting for a while now.

Matthias: You don’t think Young Saffron bailed on us, do you?

Scenario 1

MC: I’m sure that’s not the case.

Matthias: Optimistic, I see. That’s a good mindset!

Scenario 2

MC: She’s probably just running a little late.

Matthias: Running late, huh? I didn’t think angels even understood the concept of that…

End scenario

Saffron: Sorry, you guys! I’m here!

Matthias: Oh, dear! Aren’t you all out of breath?

Saffron: Yeah, I ran…

Saffron: I’m super sorry. I just came back from the Newspaper Club room and I totally lost track of time!

Matthias: Hehe. Are you in the Newspaper Club, Young Saffron?

Saffron: Uhm…not yet, but I’m thinking about it.

Matthias: If you join you should totally write a story about me! I’ll even pay you.

Saffron: Really?! I mean…wait! No! I can’t be driven by money!

Saffron: And why would I even write a story about YOU anyways?! All this time you’ve been mean to me!

Matthias: All this time? It’s only the second day…

Saffron: Yeah! That says a lot, doesn’t it? I…

Saffron: Uhmmm…

Scenario 1

MC: You okay?

Saffron: …

Scenario 2

MC: Tell him what you want to say.

Saffron: …!

End scenario

Matthias: You’re awfully pale, aren’t you?

Saffron: …Never mind. It’s nothing.

It looks like Saffron’s still too scared to confront him…

Matthias: Ah. Well, then, I shall take your word for it.

Matthias: But never be shy to tell me anything! Hehe.

Saffron: …Sure.

. . .

Saffron: Now, if we set it up like this, we can make a lot more room for whatever we want to put in our room.

Matthias: That’s a bit of hopeful wishing. Keep in mind we don’t know which room is ours yet. It could be any size and shape.

Saffron: Are you even listening? I’m clearly saying this will be good and leaves options open for a lot of areas in RAD.

Matthias: Hm, I suppose I wasn’t listening then. Could you explain one more time?

Saffron: …

Scenario 1

MC: You should pay more attention, Matthias.

Matthias: Aw, you aren’t going to back me up, MC?

Saffron: Why would they?

Scenario 2

MC: Saffron, explain again.

Saffron: …Alright. Only because you asked and not the vampire mister. We have to set it up this way and it will give us more room to work.

Matthias: I have a name, you know…

End scenario

Matthias: I, in fact, also have my own ideas. Wouldn’t you two care to hear them?

Saffron: What is it?

Matthias: Well, I wanted to go for more of a scary theme! Like, wouldn’t it just catch people’s eyes? We’d be sure to scare everyone into their votes!

Saffron: That sounds…forceful.

Matthias: But you agree that it would work, yes?

Saffron: I don’t know. We gotta go with something that touches people’s hearts, I think. That’s how Simeon always words things.

Matthias: Ah, so something motivational, huh? 

Matthias: Well, you’d SO be motivated to run away if we had a scary room! Right?

Saffron: But that’s not a good thing!

Saffron: We gotta have people’s hearts and souls in it when they vote for us. Like, they really, really, want to! That’s what matters.

Matthias: Oh, Young Saffron…is that truly what you think? What’s important is that we win!

Saffron: I want to win, but…I also want everyone to actually like our room. It’s not worth winning if everyone feels forced into it.

Matthias: *sigh*...How young and—

Saffron: Naive! Are you going to say that every time? Do you really think that about me?

Saffron: Ugh! I’ve had it with you!

Matthias: Oh, my! Young Saffron, where are you going?

Matthias: …

Matthias: She’s gone. Was it something I said, do you reckon?

Scenario 1

MC: You were too harsh with her.

Matthias: Harsh? Me? I didn’t think…

Scenario 2

MC: You need to apologize to Saffron.

Matthias: Oh…you think so? But what did…

End scenario

Matthias: …

Matthias: I kind of had a feeling she was upset with me.

Matthias: I wasn’t going to admit it at first, but now that she’s gone…

Matthias: Yeah…maybe she really is hurt.

Matthias: I guess I should talk to her tomorrow, huh?

Matthias: And…I’ll apologize. *sigh*...

[Living Room (Purgatory Hall)]

Simeon: Hello, MC. I might have a hunch at what brings you here.

Raphael: Worried about Saffron, huh?

Raphael: I honestly wasn’t expecting her to come in crying right after school, but she’s feeling a bit better now.

Simeon: Correct, indeed. And I was about to meet with Mephistopheles for our room consultation…

Raphael: Ah, right. You got paired with him.

Scenario 1

MC: Where is she?

Raphael: She’s eating cake with Luke in the kitchen. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if you went to go talk to her.

Scenario 2

MC: I want to talk to Saffron.

Raphael: Go ahead. She’s in the kitchen with Luke.

End scenario

. . .

[Kitchen (Purgatory Hall)]

Saffron: This cake is good, Luke!

Luke: You mean it?!

Saffron: I do!

Luke: Wow…thanks. I’m glad!

Luke: Hmm? Oh, MC! You scared me.

Saffron: MC?

Luke: I heard everything that happened, trust me! I can’t believe that vampire!

Saffron: Well…

Scenario 1

MC: How are you feeling?

Saffron: Better. Thanks for asking…

Scenario 2

MC: Matthias wants to apologize to you.

Saffron: …

Saffron: It won’t mean anything if he tries something like that again.

End scenario

Saffron: …

Saffron: I really don’t care if he says sorry or not. Or maybe I do.

Saffron: Ugh…I don’t know what to feel! I think that the vampire mister is wrong, but then why am I so upset?!

Luke: Saffron, it’s okay to be upset!

Luke: I’m upset too, to be honest…

Luke: And it would be nice of Matthias to apologize if he really meant it. You wouldn’t want him to apologize not from the heart, right?

Saffron: Yeah…I guess that’s right.

Saffron: *sigh*...I don’t get that guy. And it’s hard to stay not mad when he’s always making me so mad. I just want to decorate our room and have fun…

Luke: I guess we can only wait until tomorrow. Cheer up in the meantime, okay? Don’t let him get you down!

MC: You’re strong, Saffron.

Saffron: Really? You mean that?

Saffron: Hehe. Thank you. Makes me wish I was strong enough to actually tell him that he’s so mean to me.

Luke: You know…it’s possible that he knows. What if he’s just doing it because he knows you’ll react in the way he wants?

Saffron: But isn’t that what everyone does to you, Luke?

Luke: Wha, hey! This isn’t even about me.

Saffron: Hehe! I just did it to you!

Luke: W-Welll…I knew that!

Luke: Hmph. At least you’re feeling better now.

Luke: MC, do you want to try my cake? Saffron said it was good, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it!

Luke: Here, I’ll cut you a slice!

Scenario 1

MC: Thank you, Luke.

Luke: Of course!

Scenario 2

MC: What kind of cake?

Luke: Red velvet! I hope that’s okay…

End scenario

Saffron: I think Luke makes the best cakes ever.

Luke: Really? I-I mean! Thank you! Humbly, of course!

Saffron: Hehe…

Mephistopheles: …

Thirteen: You’re always standing and frowning.

Mephistopheles: …

Thirteen: Okay, then… I wasn’t looking for you anyway. I think Matthias already went home…

Mephistopheles: You’re interested in the new exchanges?

Thirteen: Matthias and I actually share a lot in common. Not that you would understand what that’s like.

Mephistopheles: Wh…are you implying that I can’t relate to anyone? The assumptions!

Thirteen: Okay, then spill.

Mephistopheles: Why do I have to tell you?

Thirteen: So that we know you're not bluffing.

Mephistopheles: Who’s “we”?! And that doesn’t mean I’m bluffing.

Mephistopheles: *sigh* I’m currently just hoping that I’ll be able to recruit a new member for the Newspaper Club. I think she was pretty amazed when she came by to see earlier.

Thirteen: Sounds boring, so I’ll leave you to that.

Thirteen: I gotta go schedule a time to meet up with Raphael and Luke.

Mephistopheles: Oh, right… Simeon said he would meet me today. I nearly forgot.

Thirteen: You should really stay on top of it.

Mephistopheles: I…that’s a LOT coming from you…!

[Hall (Demon Lord's Castle)]

Barbatos: I had a feeling you would be here already.

Matthias: Of course, Barb! I can’t have you missing me too much.

Barbatos: *sigh*...I could have sworn all the entrances were locked, though...

Matthias: Oh, yeah, they were. I came in through the floor.

Barbatos: Well…it’s actually convenient that you’re here now. I needed to discuss something important with you.

Matthias: Ooh, important, huh? You can tell me anything, Barbatos!

Barbatos: How I wish I could…ahem…

Barbatos: Anyway, it has come to my attention that Solomon will be coming back to the Devildom very soon. But since he’s coming during the middle of the Ornament Contest, he will not be participating.

Matthias: Wha…huh? THAT’S the important news?

Barbatos: It is important if you wish to prepare to keep your sanity, yes?

Matthias: I guess you were thinking about me by telling me, but…

Matthias: I wanted to come now because he wasn’t going to be here! That’s not fair.

Barbatos: You must compose yourself, Matthias. *sigh* I really do not understand the issue you have with him. You two are more similar than you may think.

Matthias: Don’t ever say that!

Barbatos: It was a simple observation. But I cannot change the fact that he is coming.

Matthias: Yeah, I know… Thanks for telling me, Barbatos.

Matthias: I’ll be sure to greet him with the biggest smiley face I have! Hehe…

Barbatos: Oh, dear…

new squiffer?

I think that New Squiffer fucking rules. It is genuinely one of the coolest weapons in the game.

Squiffer has always been a really interesting weapon, being this weird mobile mid-range sniper, but it wasn't until we got this kit that it's true potential was fully unleashed because now we're dealing with a sniper with a grappling hook. Good New Squiffer players can do some of the craziest highlight reel-worthy stuff possible, and I just think that is super duper rad. What a perfect kit.

Title: Interstellar Marriage

Characters: Muneuji, Ushio, Nagi, Netaro, Akuta

Summary: The party is in full swing after the toast. Netaro finally arrives and hands out some colorful buns, however… 

Thank you jes @arcanecrayonn and Sou @/716chr for helping me tackle Chihiro's lines! Thank you Jelly @/jellyfish_apple and Aurora @/azurecrystalz for checking over my Akuta and Kuguri lines too!

Behemoth of a chapter, hope you guys enjoy!

Location: HAMA House - Dining room

Momiji: (I’m worried about Kafka, he’s been sharing a drink with the ward mayors one after the other… There's a lot of alcohol in his system now. I remember he could barely hold his liquor when we celebrated his 20th birthday…)

Kafka: *yawn* There you are Chief~ Carry me~

Momiji: Huh!? I take my eyes off of you for a second and you’ve already gotten yourself this drunk? 

Yukikaze: He must have been very excited to see the company finally coming together. Shall I carry him instead?

Momiji: Ah… Thank you, but I should probably get Sakujiro-san to handle him. 

Momiji: (What happened in Kobe couldn’t be helped, but he’d probably sulk if he found out Yuki-nii carried him again.)

Yukikaze: Oh, but I just saw him leaving with Liguang, Kinari and Yodaka to play mahjong.

Momiji: Really, mahjong now?

Kafka: I don’t wanna~ I’m not sleeping till Netaro gets here! We’re gonna take over the world together~

Momiji: (After interviewing Netaro on Daniel’s recommendation, the two of them really hit it off.)

Momiji: (It’s nice to find a colleague you can get along with on a personal level huh, Kafka?)

Chihiro: Aww, Chii was thinkin’ of snappin’ some cute selfies with Chiefy, but looks like she’s totally busy with Prez right now~ Oh well, maybe later then.

Tao: Yeah. …? Wait, do you hear that?

Chihiro: Huh?

??: ….meat buns~ get high on our meat buns~ made fresh everyday~

Netaro: So delicious they’d drive you mad! Would you like to dig into one?

Laika: Bun! 

Chihiro: OH-EM-GEE!! These buns are, like, super duper dazzably adorbs☆ And your robopet is SO slaying that gyaru fit! Chii’s totally obsessed~♪

Tao: Oh, are you Yowa-san, from the meat bun cafe? They did say you’d be coming in late.

Netaro: Indeed, you are correct! I am Netaro Yowa, soon-to-be 18th ward mayor! I was a teensy bit delayed as I was specially preparing these new flavored meat buns, exclusively for this party! 

Chihiro: Chii’s name’s Chihiro! And this is Taotao! These mystery buns look mega delish and poppin‘~♪

Netaro: These ones over here are the “Peculiar Interstellar Marriage☆Natto-Curry Meat Buns,” and on this side are the “Bon Voyage of Laughter☆Cheesy-Shroom Meat Buns!”

Laika: Nattou~♪ Nanana~ Pipipi~

Chihiro:No way! Burstin’ into song like that, seriously, that’s just shooo freakin’ KYUTE ☆ Taro-ppu, can Chii like, snap some selfies with you two? Lemme post them on dazzle too, pretty pleaaase~

Netaro: Why of course, Chii~!

Tao: Crazy how they’re already on a nickname-basis… 

Chihiro: Hey cutie, d’you have fingers~? C’mon, make a heart-sign with Chii~

Tao: Don’t mind me enjoying one of these buns while you have your photoshoot. Let’s see… I think I’ll go with the cheesy mushroom bun.

Chihiro: Then Chii’s gonna go with this totes rad lookin’ natto curry bun~ Nom-nom time~♪

Tao and Chihiro: *munch*

Netaro and Laika: ….. 

Tao: Mmm…mph? Pft— Haha, hahahahahaha!! W-what’s going on, I can't stop laughing!

Chihiro: Huh!? Taotao…!?

Tao: Hahahahaahahha—! 

Chihiro: Waitwaitwait! Chii’s, like, got zero idea what’s goin’ on rn, but isn’t a Taotao mega ultra LOL moment like this is equivalent to rollin’ a SSR!? Gotta record this ASAP!!

Tao: Oh man– My stomach hurts…! 

Laika: Nattou, Giovanni, piroppu~

Chihiro: Gosh, he’s sooo cute, rollin’ on the floor like that ☆ Ugh, my maternal instincts are just overflowing right now! What is this feeling!? I’ve never felt this way before! I literally can’t stop snappin’ pics~♪

Toi: I-It’s Chii-sama…! I’m walking on the same ground as Chii-sama… Breathing in the same air…! 

Toi: Ahh… I need to express my gratitude for this miracle with a prayer! Thank you for letting me be born in the same generation as my favorite idol! 

Mashiro: Chii-sama is, without a doubt, one of the highest lifeforms to grace this planet! 

Sonia: Oh wow~ So Chii-shama is one of the ‘chosen ones’? I shee, I shee! 

Chouun: …I believe that all life is equal, but I shall refrain from commenting further. 

Momiji: Oh, Netaro-kun is finally here. Kafka’s already asleep though. 

Kuguri: Enjoying yourself, cica*?

Ten: We came over ‘cuz we didn’t get to toast together yet. Cheers to finding all the members~

Momiji: Thank you, both of you. Cheers! 

Momiji: (It’s inevitable that new bonds would be formed as more people moved into the dorms but… I have to say, Ten-kun and Kuguri-san are an odd pair, I wonder when they got so friendly with each other?)

Ten: Oh yeah, I saw Shuumai barking his head off when that meat bun guy showed up earlier.

Kuguri: Fufu, perhaps it's some wild instinct at play… Are you sure you should be letting something like that in here?

Momiji: Like ‘that’… Are you talking about Netaro-kun? Sure, he’s a little odd but, I don’t really think he’s dangerous. 

Momiji: (According to Toi-kun’s reading, Netaro-kun is someone we need to lead us to his brother. I made a promise to help him, and I plan to see it through.) 

~~~

Akuta: Mph, everythin’ looks SO super tasty I can’t stop stuffing myself!

Akuta: I’m gonna eat a lifetime’s wortha food here and now! Nobody get in my way, got it!? 

Ushio: Ugh, how many “seconds” is that already? I can barely stomach watching you let yourself go. 

Kiroku: But… Kurama… that’s your third plate… of yakisoba… too… 

Ushio: So? That has nothing to do with what I just said.

Kiroku: There’s… no need to… feel ashamed… It’s delicious… after all…. 

Ushio: Who said I was embarrassed? 

Muneuji: Hm… I’m still famished. I should go get seconds as well. 

Nanaki: I’m coming with you, I need more of this pizza— Hm?

Tao: Phew, it’s finally stopped… I laughed so hard I really thought I’d need stitches… 

Chihiro: Wha-wha-whaaa? Why’re there like, a gazillion pics of Tao in my gallery? Weeeird, it’s like I got some kinda motherly instinct takin’ over me….

Netaro: Ahaha! I may have added just a teensy bit of a secret ingredient~ Right? Laika~

Laika: Shwatch*.

Nanaki: Huh, that’s…!? 

~~~(flashback)

Netaro: “Euclidean Deconstruction - Instant Undressing Pen.” A lovely invention, if I do say so myself~

Netaro: You see, human clothing can be so… ugh. They’re too restrictive! 

Kiroku: …Where did… he…come from…?

Nanaki: No, before that, who the heck is he? How’d he get all the way here? The door’s behind us… 

Akuta: Hold up, where’s the egg?

~~~(end flashback)

Nanaki: Ah…! 

Muneuji: What’s wrong? You’re shaking like a leaf.

Nanaki: I-It’s that guy from before…!

Muneuji: ?

Muneuji: —...!

Akuta: Aw yeah, I can feel the calories already!

Muneuji: Everyone, I need your attention.

Kiroku: ?

Muneuji: The strange individual we encountered on top of the school roof after our HosLive, is here right now. The intelligence operative who took the egg with him.

Ushio: Wha!? No way… 

Nanaki: No matter which way you look at him, it’s the same guy. Can’t forget someone who looks like… that. 

Akuta: …F’real? Don’t remember the dude. 

Ushio: Yeah, didn’t expect much from someone with your brain cells, Idiotake. But… Why's he here? It doesn’t make sense. 

Ushio: Is he the 18th ward mayor? The one they said would come in late. 

Muneuji: Most likely. He must be Netaro Yowa-san. 

Nanaki: What was it again… He was from a secret operation called… Ponzu or something—

Akuta: Yorozu!

Ushio: So you remember that. 

Kiroku: The… egg is… with him…!

Ushio: What?

Kiroku: Over… there… 

Laika: Pipipi. Jijiji. Bween.

Nanaki: That’s… not the egg, right? Looks like a regular pet robot to me. 

Ushio: I agree with Panda. 

Kiroku: No… That’s… definitely… 

Muneuji: You were indeed the one who had the strongest bond with the egg. I believe in Kinugawa’s intuition.

Nanaki: Putting the egg aside, you think it’s okay for us to be near that guy?

Ushio: Who knows… He seems dangerous. We should probably keep our distance from him, unless you want to get caught up in explosions or have your clothes stripped off or something… 

Akuta: Hey so, did we meet on the school roof back in summer?

Netaro: Hm?

Ushio: What is he— Why the hell would he just march up to the guy and ask him that!?

Akuta: Well y’see, my friends over there think we’ve met before so—

Akuta: Right, guys!?

Ushio: Pretend you don’t know him… 

Nanaki: …Wait, Muneuji!?

Muneuji: Pardon me. I am the 8th ward mayor, Muneuji Kaguya. Would you perchance remember me?

Netaro: Uji, your eyes are most beautiful indeed. I can’t help but feel I’ve seen them somewhere long ago— 

Muneuji: ….. 

Netaro: But, I cannot pinpoint the memory. How about we hold our greetings now instead?

Muneuji: ….. 

Akuta: In that case, heyo, nice to meetcha! Je m’appelle Akuta, superhero at your service! 

Ushio: Muu-chan, let’s go! You, too! 

Muneuji: …I understand now. It’s because he is a member of the Yorozu.

Muneuji: Precisely because they are intelligence operatives, they blend in with society by pretending to be civilians. He must not be able to reveal his identity as he did on the roof.

Ushio: Muu-chan, what are you mumbling about?

Nanaki: So, he’s saying that he doesn’t remember us, right?

Muneuji: Indeed. If that is how he wishes to spin this tale, then we must act accordingly. We should not hinder his mission. 

Kiroku: ….. 

Ushio: Right, let’s leave it at that.

Nanaki: Hmm… Well, okay, I guess. 

Akuta: ‘Kay~ Then I don’t care either~ Let’s get back to digging into some good grub! 

Muneuji: …..

~~~

Nagi: *deep sigh*

Sonia: Are you ok, Nagi-shan? 

Nagi: Yeah… 

Sonia: I guess you’re shtill worried… 

Nagi: Yeah. At this rate… something bad is bound to happen. 

Nagi: It might be better to just go back to the shop and hand out flowers… 

Sonia: But… It’s really cold outside at this time of night… 

Nagi: It’s better that way. 

Sonia: ….. 

Nagi: Yeah. This is for the best… Let’s go back. 

Sonia: Nagi-sha–

Momiji: Oh, Nagi-kun, what are you doing all the way here?

Nagi: …urk. Um, I… 

Sonia: Y-You shee, we got a last-minute order just now…!

Nagi: That’s right. It was very sudden.

Sonia: Y-Yesh, even though we closed the store temporarily just to come to the party, geez!

Momiji: I see… got it. We’re bringing out the cake, so come back soon! 

Nagi: O-Okay, thank you. Then… 

Momiji: Take care! 

Nagi: Urk…!

If player character is female: Momiji: Huh, w-why are you suddenly clutching at your chest!?

If player character is male: Kaede: Why’re you suddenly clutching at your chest!?

Nagi: It’s nothing, um… I’ll be off, then…! 

Sonia: Are you okay!? Nagi-shan! 

Nagi: I’m okay… for now.

Nagi: But, my happiness is overflowing… This is real bad. I need to balance it… 

Nagi: …Let’s go, Sonia. Handing out flowers in the freezing cold should help water down this feeling. 

Sonia: Okay! 

Notes:

A very minor difference between Kaede and Momiji's response to Nagi, being that Momiji is more prone to stuttering when surprised, but I thought it would be good to point out for anyone interested.

Swatch is an exclamation that Ultraman uses.

Cica is how Kuguri refers to the Chief. It means kitten.

HEY HEY HEY I THINK YOUR SUPER DUPER COOL

SO COOL

AMAZING AND AWESOME AND PUNK AND RAD

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! YIPPIEE YAYAYYAY!!!

[its-ya-boii-hawkeye]

Oh my gosh hi Mr.Barton!! You’re like my second favorite avenger (I’m legally obligated to say my boss is my first favorite unfortunately- (I’m joking))

But you’re super duper cool!! I have genetic hearing loss so idk, a super hero who’s a dude with a bow ++ hearing aids? Rad.

Pleaseeee tell you dog he’s adorbs for me !!

- @sunny-the-intern

Hey Sadie! You dont know how happy I am to be someone's (second) favorite avenger !

Honestly I'm always surprised I'm actually anyone favorite since in a group with a literal god, I'm just a guy™.

I used to hide that I was deaf because I thought anyone knowing would think I'm less than the others, but I learnt thats bullshit and that by letting the world know I'm deaf and still an avenger, then anyone in the world whos also deaf could also be a hero if they wanted.

Dw I'm definitely telling him! He's the best doggo in the world and deserves all the appreciation!!

[rtc-spin]

hihiihihihihihi uhhh i think ur super duper cool :3 too awkward to get off anon but i follow you and i think u are rad and i wanna be mutuals sunsuhhus

heheh :33 i think we,, are already mutuals?!?

[f0xgl0v3]

Gang I realized I’ve dropped off the face of the earth like super duper sorry uh. In news, school started. I’m in twelfth night as Feste, and.. SoN stuff. Happening, Octavian and Michael girdle quest is being written and chapter three, four, and five— therefore the public official super rad announcement of it is soon, both soon to be done and like all that jazz. Uh, SoN re-imagining still going on, I started stranger things and I have.. Octavian news?

Sort of. I have his stupid convoluted name beginning to be laid out, he has a really weird mix of modern naming scheme and traditional Roman (because his mummy is not native to New Rome) and uh, all I can hand you is

Julianus is in there, just because I like the name and something something the Julius family name or whatever uh Julius Caesar.. something. Something. The pair of twins have Apollinaris and Artemisia (I know Artemis is Greek but like somewhere down the line the Greeks under Roman control named some of their kids after the Grecian names and I like Artemisia the painter and I can’t find the Diana equivalent and it works if they are like. Tributes to the patron gods of the house and then there’s like parallels to how the family views their kids and it’s a whole thing) but yeah. Octavian gets to have Julianus in there

Now the fun part. The South Sudanese parts of his name because I decided his mummy’s dad is from South Sudan. Forgive me if I, get anything wrong from my research obviously I am not south Sudanese however. Octavian’s grandfather gave each of his grandkids traditional names to help guide them (they also say stuff about a character because you don’t just name a character without giving their name reason. Especially not someone with such a comically absurd name as Octavian)

So he got Nyok Nihal in his name. Are those both first names? I think so, but Octavian’s entire name is just kinda first names and then his last names slapped together and New Rome has an entirely different naming signature because it is rooted in Roman naming schemes but has morphed due to the outside demigods coming in and therefore is almost its own thing. But also no.

Anyway anyways, those two parts of his name, he probably gets called them separately if anyone uses them (not foreshadowing to something in BoO) but Nihal from what I read usually has to do with growth, new beginnings, spring, life, success. But then Nyok is like, humility and kindness and they tie into his arc that would happen after BoO and in ToA and like- argfhhhhh. It’s him stepping into those names after not feeling like he belongs to them for such a long time

Also uh. Octavian’s grandpa is the GOAT, unproblematic king. We love him, Stan my man.

Along with that, something something. Michael Kahale and his whole name that I don’t have to change because it already fits in with his whole arc and the fact that he has to try and be the one to protect new Rome and its peoples and be a strong foundation but he just wants to go home to his family and isn’t really a military leader guy, that and the pressure with being a Son of Venus and whatever. Like I’ll probably get into it more if I ever deep dive a lot of these characters names, yall know id bring something insane for Bryce or whatever lol.

On that note too, Mercury has a birthday now! Not on topic whatsoever but her official birthday is September 29th, also Mr. pompey the greats birthday. He’s my favorite guy and that makes Mercury’s birthday plant Amaranth and the symbolism lines up there and I really like that also it looks like Mercury. But she gets a little birthday and that’ll probably affect her

Wow Kleos is scattered right now lol. Uh, maybe I’ll get a Bryce Lawerence workshopped backstory out soon, or this one background character in stranger things that I’ve pretty much hijacked (pure fuel guy my beloved). But I’ll see you all later, goodnight, farewell, sweet dreams!!

[opiopal]

(Super duper old draft from months ago lol)

I really want to see something with like,

It’s session one, mc got teleported to the devildom to partake in the transfer program…. And they decide to take the “I’m not trapped in here with them, they’re trapped in here with me” approach instead of being scared or anxious.

Asmo is being weird and asks mc to look him in the eyes, they immediately make aggressive eye contact, widening their eyes with a blank face, grabbing onto one of his shoulders to maintain it, and it immediately makes Asmo back off since it catches him so off guard,

mams threatens to eat them when it’s just the both of them, Mc gets a weird smile on their face and goes “do it” “h- what?” “If I let you eat my arm can I eat yours?” “What.”

During the retreat when Luci basically nearly breaks mc’s hand while their dancing, mc notices the pain and grips his shoulder “harder.” “What?!” ”shatter my fingers. What are you, scared?”

any time where s8n gets angry, mc just makes it worse by trying to square up,

Any moment at all when any of the brothers are being mean to them mc just responds with something insanely wild that makes them back off immediately, most of the time it’s because they wouldn’t expect this out of a human, but either way, every single time they all THINK they’ve gotten used to mc, they say something that makes them all freak out. Most of the time mc does it to remind everyone that they all have NO idea what is about to come out of mc’s mouth, keepin them on their toes,

Mc would probably also remind them by hinting at their knowledge of certain things that they probably shouldn’t know.

For example, one morning mc walks into the dining room a little late, they took their sweet time getting ready so they’re last for breakfast, luci makes a comment about how they need to be waking up earlier because if they’re sluggish throughout the day, it’ll look bad for lord Diavolo. Which causes mc to stop in their tracks just as they’re about to round the table to their chair, they sloowwwly turn their head to him, turn on their heel and approach quickly, leaning in and very loudly sniffs the air around him, which effectively makes him lean back into his chair with a confused, offended, and concerned look on his face, then mc very plainly goes “hm. you smell different when you’re awake.” Then they turn their body away, keeping their eyes focused on him for a second before fully turning their head with their body to go sit down. Everyone looks very concerned as to how and why they know that information. Theres silence for a while until mc speaks up again before taking a bite of their breakfast “you all do, by the way,” as if it was useful information that they all needed to know, (safe to say that those who didn’t previously lock their bedroom doors begin to after that)

a more tame version of this would be the brothers saying or announcing something that wasn’t know previously, and mc just immediately responding with “I know” then, probably depending on the brother, they try to quiz mc on as to how and why they know that, which they smile and they go “because I was there you silly goose😋” “no you weren’t??” “As far as you were aware.”

over time mc would probably use their… uniqueness… to be used in defense of the brothers as they(somehow) all get closer, so eventually mc goes from terrorizing the HOL residents, to terrorizing jerks at RAD.

at some point mc prolly chills out once everyone else chills out, and once session 2 rolls around mc explains that they never actually meant most of the weird things they ever said. Really it was just their response to danger, and at the time they were hoping that if they were weird enough they’d get sent back home and dia would pick someone else for the program, but obviously this didn’t happened(honestly it was probably bc diavolo thought mc was oddly funny)

53. "Lost Highway"

(Law Dog # 1, May 1993)

RATING: 4 🚗 Rad Cars Out Of 10

The protagonists are just so unlikable in this, and the grim and gritty art style is just really off-putting to me. However, this concept and setting is super duper intriguing and I'd love to see it approached again. Passing through small towns, crossroads, and other liminal spaces resulting in you being displaced in time & space isn't a new concept by a long shot, nor is having someone patrolling those spaces to keep the weird stuff at bay and save people (I think?), but this just does it in a more unique way. Also Hell just being a regular little town with its own franchise restaurant was fun and the names of the menu items got me to chuckle.

FAVORITE: Subverting the 80s Satanic Panic in this bit just absolutely tickled me

LEAST FAVORITE: Like, every face in here

Dear Ken Diary,

You’re never going to guess what Allan got on Friday. He got a…aw man I don’t know how to spell it.

Uhhhhhh…I dunno, I’m gonna have to Google it, I guess.

It’s one of those scooter things that’s like only got two wheels instead of four…it sounds like segway but I don’t know if that’s how it’s spelled.

Hey guess what! Google says I spelled it right! Go Ken!

Anyway, he got a segway and dude. It’s pretty awesome! I mean, check it out!

Doesn’t he look happy!

He’s been kind enough to let any of us take turns on it. Some of the Barbies took turns, and lot of us Kens did too, me especially.

I took my turn on Beach to see how well it would do there, and it handled Beach pretty smoothly and I was like totally impressed. But the thing doesn’t go all that fast, which is kinda a bummer.

But I think that’s like for safety purposes and stuff, which ya know is a good thing.

Besides I don’t really see Allan going super duper fast on that thing anyway. But! He will be looking totally rad on the segway as he goes through Barbie Land.

I kinda wonder what Midge thinks about the segway. More importantly though, I wonder if she’s taken a turn on it yet! Probably help her get her around faster since she’s pregnant.

I bet Barbie would be pleased for Allan like the rest of us are.

And we are! We really are excited for him. He looks like so proud as he sorta zooms by on the segway. And it’s yellow! Totally his color.

He mentioned that he would like to decorate it with some stickers, so a lot of us Kens and Barbies are going to pick out stickers we know he would like to get him started. He’s totally gonna love it!

I’m excited for him. He deserves good stuff.

Atlas Fallen: A Windy Odyssey of Limited Charm

Amidst the bustling year filled with awe-inspiring releases, including Atlas Fallen which attempts to carve its niche with a name that's somewhat reminiscent of AI-generated titles, hardly captivates. Nevertheless, nestled within the second half of the gaming calendar, this AA endeavor evokes nostalgia for the PS2 era, offering a different yet valuable experience - making it a great addition to your list when looking to buy PS5 games. A tutorial introduces a surreal world where a blue Avatar-esque protagonist leaps between sandy outcroppings, setting the tone for an enigmatic journey. Customization, though somewhat constrained, augments the experience.

As the curtain rises, the character, dubbed "Unnamed," aspires to galvanize downtrodden laborers against their oppressors, amid a sandstorm-stricken caravan. The unfolding narrative takes us through confrontations, a stolen object, and the daunting prospect of survival. Amidst the wind-whipped desert, a persistent voice beckons, embodied by a chatty gauntlet. A tussle with wraith-like creatures ensues, leading to the reclamation of the pilfered item, only to have it snatched anew by Morrath, the camp's leader. Retrieving the gauntlet through sand-surfing and a precipitous descent sets the stage for the true adventure. The narrative's initial blandness gives way to a more compelling second half, where intrigue gradually builds. Despite the potential, characters exhibit mere cardboard-like personalities, particularly the Unnamed protagonist who remains a blank canvas. Their interactions lack emotional depth, save for climactic revelations that stir suppressed feelings. Regrettably, the inclusion of talking clothing and accessories proves an ill-conceived trope. The story's potential allure falters amidst these disappointments, grappling to fully engage players.

Atlas Fallen: Embracing Fun and Adventure in a Quirky Action RPG World

Now, let me keep it real with you. Not every game needs to blow your mind, right? Sometimes, it's okay for a game to just be plain fun without trying to change the whole gaming universe. And you know what? While enjoying the gaming experience, you might even find yourself thinking, "Hey, I should buy PS5 games to add to my collection!" That's where Atlas Fallen comes in – a super cool third-person action RPG that's all about teaming up and taking down bad guys. But hey, I won't lie, sometimes it trips over its shoelaces a bit. But guess what? That's part of the ride, and I'm cool with it.

Picture this: you're diving into a world where a Sun god called Thelos is pulling all the strings, making humans mine this super important thing called Essence. You're not just anyone – you're an Unnamed, basically the underdog of the world. You stumble upon this ancient thing called the Gauntlet, which gives you these amazing sand powers. Plus, there's this rad spirit buddy named Nyaal who's got your back, like the trusty sidekick you've always wanted. You're teaming up with a crew called the Knights of Bastengar to take down Thelos and his partner in crime, the Queen. Yeah, it's gonna get wild! Atlas is like this epic sandbox, a mix of desolation and hidden stories just waiting for you to uncover. It's not like a super duper open-world, but there's enough space to let your inner explorer run wild. And guess what? It looks pretty darn good, with options for how it looks – kinda like when you can pick different Instagram filters, but for your game. 📸

I gotta be real upfront here – the first hour might make you raise an eyebrow or two, but trust me, push through. I had a moment where I was like, "Did they trick me with all those cool trailers?" But nope, there's more to it, and I'm here to make sure you don't miss out on the good stuff. Let's talk about the nitty-gritty, though. Like, yeah, there are a few hiccups along the way. NPCs sometimes forget their lines, the game stutters like someone telling a scary story, and there's this one time a big baddie crashed my chat session. 😂 But hold up, don't let that scare you off. It's like when you're hanging with your buddies and someone spills a drink – annoying, but it won't ruin the party. Oh, and here's the scoop – the characters' voices are a bit like a world tour. My character went from sounding like they're straight outta America to suddenly being all British. It's like they've got a secret twin or something! Honestly, it's a bit weird, but I bet most of us won't even notice. So, if you're down for an epic ride where you team up, rock those sand powers, and show Thelos who's boss, give Atlas Fallen a shot. Just remember, the first hour might be a bit like the opening act of a concert, but trust me, the headliner is worth it. Keep gaming, legends!
