Syrin's Muse- Silent Voices

💧- angst/ frustration

F! OC x Rick Flag

Part 2/ (?)

Read the prologue here

Summary: Verana realizes the situation she's in, and comes to terms with the fact that her recklessness put both her and her best friend in their current predicament.

T/W: language, violence, threats of violence. Mild flirting?

The throbbing echoing through her skull mixed with the heaviness laced within her body brought her from the darkness. Her arms, legs, as well as her neck felt heavy and cold. Her hands reached up towards the nape of her neck in an attempt to figure out what was weighing her down.

Her fingers lazily crawled up to her neck grazing the metal collar clamped tightly around her throat. She looked down at her hands and noticed thick metal cuffs around each of her wrists.

Looking around the room she realized how empty it was, empty and silent. Not even a hum of white noise or the sharp buzz of her mind spinning. She opened her mouth, but no sound was made. Even her breath was silent, no matter how hard she huffed. Inching forward on her hands and knees she felt the material of the room around her.

As she padded against the walls and floor her mouth moving as if she were speaking, yelling but still no sound was made. As she stood on her feet, uneasy and unsure, she lifted her head slowly and glanced up around the room, her mouth twisting in anger.

There was a sudden click, followed quickly by a sharp, high-pitched noise. Her hands shot to ears as she crumbled to the floor, a muted scream leaving her lips as she folded in half. She rose slowly to her knees after the noise subsided. As she caught her breath, her hands fidgeting with the collar, there was another clicking sound. This time it was heavier and came from her left. She turned and to her left the wall that was once a solid padded stone color was now translucent.

She could make out a man standing in a closed doorway, watching her. He stood rigid, not moving an inch. His eyes burning through hers, taking her back a bit... 'what the hell is going on?'

Her mind buzzing, but her eyes dead- face expressionless, seemingly unmoved and unbothered. She stared back, not wanting to be the first one to move- but that wasn't up to her. As her eyes stared blankly into his she began to hear it- a dull hissing sound. Still facing him her eyes began to float around her field of vision trying to find were it was coming from.

Slowly she began to waver, her eyes began to flutter faster and faster, bubbles and specks floating in front of her. She couldn't get her vision clear no matter how many times she blinked. Before she melted to the floor she caught what seemed was a glimpse of remorsefulness in his eyes.

Her mouth tasted like... stale oranges? Slowly the sounds of the room she was in came back to her, the feeling of her limbs reconnecting her to the cold clunkiness on her wrists. The clunkiness she felt on her neck before had been replaced by a soreness radiating from right behind her ear.

She croaked out a cough and moan, the sound of her own making startling her almost.

"I can hear myself now... This has to been some sick trick."

Impressed by her quick recovery and subtle caution the two figures watching her from the hall agreed who would go in first.

The man from before... no before that too, his eyes were too familiar to have just been from behind the wall. It was when their eyes locked it all clicked, all of it.

"You." Her dry voice came out an even more threatening growl than she meant but she loved it, "Let me go!" Her rhythmic voice hit his ear but not it's intended affects.

A small but wicked smirk landed on his face as he stood there silent, "Wipe. That. Smirk. Off. Your. Face." She thrashed against her bindings, still not affecting him.

The footfalls of another person approaching brought her attention back to the door- and in stepped a woman, shorter, her expression almost seemed bored. It was the lady from the SUV.

"Verana Cadenza also known as Syrin she's like a muse -"

"What are you? A fan? Sorry I don't subscribe to... whatever this is."

"Ms. Cadenza, my name is Amanda Waller and I'd listen if I were you, unless you'd rather never see Ms. Pero again? Now, we-"

"Holy shit... This is that suicide team bullshit, no- nope- count me out bitch."

"What would be so different about doing for us what you did for yourself?" He finally spoke- his eyes daring her to be defiant.

"Fuck you. What I did I didn't enjoy- at least not all of it- anyone I used my voice on deserved it."

"And we will point you in the direction of more people who deserve it."

"Or, we could lock you in the quiet room, throw away the key and forget about you. Whereas Ms. Pero... well we could easily do without. But can you?"

She glared at Waller, she could take her... if she wasn't bound.

She released all the air kept in her lungs, he limbs slack and her head hitting hanging slightly, "Fine, you got me. I'll do it."

Waller nodded, turning to leave, her profile stood solid as she looked back at Verana, "Colonel Rick Flag here will be in charge of you- Flag, you know what to do."

"That explains so much about you, 'Colonel'. You sure know how to chase a lady." Her voice clung to their, moving through his ears like silk.

"The cuffs and collar are power dampeners, so keep singing your song all you like it won't be affecting anyone. Unlike you, your friend has been equipped with a bomb- piss me off and she goes. "

"Mmm," She paused, he bones aching, "I like an assertive type."

"I'm in control of your dear friend, Sila's bomb..." He took a step to leave, stopping in the doorway, "you might wanna know she joined to save you." And with that, he was gone.

She was in a room, with 3 of Flag's men, her stuff in a case at her feet. She looked at it plainly, she knew what was supposed to happen, but wanted someone to say it, "You boys wanna turn around? Not like I can do anything."

The door behind the men swung open and in walked Flag, "Verana-"

"It's Vera or Syrin- your pick." Her eyes fluttered as she looked into his eyes.

He rolled his eyes feigning annoyance, "Just get changed."

Two of his men left, leaving just him and one other. She crossed her arms and stared at him, "You could turn around? What am I gonna do, run?" Sass dripped from every word as she waited.

He gave in, albeit, begrudgingly, and waved for the other guy to turn around too. She gave it a second before turning to the case on her left. Opening it she was welcomed by the sight of her clothes, mismatched with her new and old look, they must've just grabbed what they saw.

She pulled pieces out, the layers of her top first, followed by the layers of her bottoms and her holsters. She wiggled on her leggings and shorts, pausing to check Flag and his guy by the door. Still seeing their backs she continued on to her top, throwing off the one she had, she pulled on her halter-style bra, a cut-out crop long sleeve, and then a deep blue halter over that. Checking over her clothes she quickly pulled her multi-colored hip-length hair into 2 Dutch braids. Strands along her crown framed her face as she fixed the pendants around her neck, the holsters to her body, and the shawl over her shoulders.

As she turned around, lowering the shawl from atop her head to her shoulders, she made eye contact with Flag. The guy next to him still racking his eyes over her, "Sorry boys, I don't do free shows."

As she huffed, placing her weapons in their respective holsters Flag glanced over at the guy to his left, giving him a sharp look he ushered him out.

"All that gear, you use it?" His eyes glanced at the knives, various sharp objects and a few other miscellaneous items she was putting away.

"You betch'a baby, and since I can't really depend on my vocal cords, might as well use the rest of my gifts." She winked at him and waited for his moved. But just as Verana was hoping that Sila was ok, she was also puzzled as to why his eyes felt warm, never cold on her, she just hoped Waller, as well as Flag wasn't aware of it.

Once again he rolled his eyes in feigned annoyance, he had to keep it going. He didn't know how much Waller knew, or rather, how much she didn't know. As far as he knew, Waller only knew of their previous run-in, she didn't know that seeing her felt as familiar as breathing- at least, he was hoping she didn't know that.

Okayyy, so I have major explaining to do... It's been a long almost 2 years. Between moving, school, work, stress.

I haven't written anything.

Please accept this as a start to my apology. I hope you guys enjoyed this .5 update.

osu!weekly #87

The year is 2017. It’s a brand new year with endless possibilities. Only catch is that it still features the same old osu!weekly you’ve all come to love. You do love us, right?

Previous Next

Weekly news

The first batch of 2017 Loved maps are ready for voting! Would you like to see Knife Party receive some love, or are you a supporter for Camellia? Perhaps you’re more in tune with the sweet sounding screams of Igorrr or maybe relaxing to the unique sound of The Flashbulb. Whichever is your preference, make sure to head over to the voting threads to cast your vote! The poll only runs for about 2 days (48 hours) from now, so get in quick!.

After years in the making, it is now finally possible to submit multiple scores on maps in the Loved category. A long awaited feature, this now means that maps may have a number of scores from the same user on the scoreboards instead of just the single score as it was previously. Only the highest score will count for pp and accuracy when the system moves on to other Ranked maps later in the year.

Syrin has released a rather nifty tool for getting some information about how you play the game. The program, named osu!chan provides information about both your profile and your top performance scores, including those chokes you’d rather forget. You also have the option to filter by mods or no mod, depending on your preferences.

Totally unbiased unweighted favorite mappers

The osu!academy channel has released some more fantastic storyboard showcases for you to enjoy! First, there’s Euclid created by Exile- and secondly, there’s Sweet Dreams (11t dnb mix) created by Storyboarder (yes that is their name).

S3RL and nanobii have just been announced as the newest additions to the Featured Artists roster. S3RL has already made a huge impact in osu! with several of his tracks already made into insanely popular maps. On the other hand, nanobii is someone we haven’t seen much of yet in osu!, but his popularity elsewhere on the web (did someone say Monstercat?) and his amazingly uplifting tracks have some serious potential for some incredible mapping.

Scorewatch: January Week 1 (with the Scorewatch Patrol)

Before we get into the scorewatch this week, there is something we’d like to cover. Previously, it was just poor Raveille hunting down and sharing some of the insane plays people were doing on a weekly basis. However, Scorewatch has expanded and we now have a small team of people working on this.

This new team consists of: * magnomizer * n1doking * Poised * Raveille * Xylo-. Hooray for progress! Now, onto some scores:

It's actually pretty hard to play bad on purpose. MinG3012, however, is the master of bad accuracy, and has pulled off an impossible score, with a 45.59% HD FC (not to mention, a Perfect graph) on 9mm Parabellum Bullet - Inferno, on The Eclipse difficulty. Only a few have managed to FC this difficulty with the HD mod slapped on, which makes this play even more impressive. Engulf yourself into the madness that is MinG3012. So bad that it is actually good. Or it was just good from the start.

Cookiezi is on fire yet again as he pulled off an insane HDHR play on UNDEAD CORPORATION - Everything will freeze, on the Time Freeze difficulty. This run saw only 2 misses, which unfortunately did not beat his personal best, but would stand at 652pp. Without the choke, this play would stand at an incredible 869pp. See it to believe it. Will 2017 be the year of the fabled 1k pp score? Time will tell.

hvick225 has now dropped to 5th as a certain 13 year old American has climbed a step higher with a new personal best! Vaxei managed to set a 730pp score on HO-KAGO TEA TIME - Kira Kira Days on the Shiawase!! difficulty, choking a HDDT 98.03% play. There's some intense 300BPM single-tapping in this video, so go check it out!

Our very own n1doking became the first taiko player to FC Renard - Because Maybe! pt.2. Why? Because he could. This 22 minute marathon map tests one's stamina greatly, and the No. 1 American has shone brightly in the leaderboards. Try not to fall asleep while watching this replay. n1doking surely didn't.

Former osu!mania no. 1 jhlee0133 pulled off an unfortunate 1 miss play on Fleshgod Apocalpyse - The Deceit / The Violation on Xeo's Unmerciful Fate difficulty. This 10 minute song brings out the living hell of mania players and this pushes the limits between speed and stamina. Take a dive into the depths of metal with this incredible play, but be aware of the unforgettable (at least for jhlee0133) miss.

MWC 7K Week 0: Live Drawing Shenanigans

The osu!mania World Cup 7K is now fully underway with the live drawings complete. Our teams have been sorted into their groups, the mappool has been revealed (anime girls world cup 2017) and the schedule for the group stage is already out! If you’re interested in learning more, all the information is available on the wiki. If you’d rather skip that and cut straight to the action, we’ll be starting things off next weekend on Saturday the 14th at 11am UTC.

Before we leave you for the week, our new year comes with a new addition to the weekly team. Xylo- will be helping Starrodkirby86 in creating even more puzzles! Speaking of,we have a new one for you hungry puzzle solvers to chip away at. This time, it’s a plain and simple crossword focusing on maps that were classed as some of the best maps of their respective years.

That’s all from us this week. We hope you all had a great holiday and start to 2017. A lot of amazing stuff happened last year, and who knows what to expect this year!

If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see in the weekly, feel free to drop by the osu!dev discord and directly highlight Nyquill or myself (deadbeat) in the #osu-weekly channel. Alternatively, you can also e-mail as usual at news@ppy.sh.

See you next week!
