#t: arrow and ace

[officialbruciewayne]

It had been nearly a week since his abject apology. Longer since Bruce had first suspected Selina was displeased with him, longer since she had sent him- concussed and hurting and confused -to the cold of the couch, longer since he had began reaching out, heart troubled and dismayed as he began to question and overthink and worry.

By the time she would even let him admit to her what he had done- and he wasn't completely certain what that was, only certain what he felt guilty of -there was no relief, only tension tight enough to ache.

It showed in how he stood awkwardly before her. Standing in a modified parade rest which only did him the favor of hiding how white-knuckled his hands were, gripping one wrist in the other hand. The other grasping a slim playing card between its fingers.

"Selina," he began. Paused. "Love," Bruce started again. "I'm... sorry for my abrupt departure. Talia," he winced, unsure if it was wise to mention her, "and I needed to discuss our son, and there was Jason...his pregnancy..."

He trailed off. "I'm sorry. I meant to talk to you sooner."

Bruce had narrowed his guilt to pinpoints: the matter of the card, his son's pointed reprimand that Selina would prefer the truth and of course, the gunman in the room, the truth itself. Holding him metaphorically hostage.

He fidgeted with the playing card behind his back, waiting for Selina's assent before even considering continuing.

PLEASE STOP; This Family Desperately Needs Your Help!

The Alanqar family consists of Raed (47) and his wife Amani (39), and their children Rasha (22), Rana (21), Monir (19), Mohamed (16) and Sham (4).

They have been displaced, lost all sources of income, and are suffering in horrible conditions. Their house was destroyed, and so was the university where Monir was studying.

They now struggle to get basic resources and escape the constant bombings.

In order for them to eventually evacuate, this family is trying to raise €35,000. So far, they've only raised €2,830 and their last donation was 22 hours ago.

Please help them however you can; donate if you're able and share their campaign. Everything helps.

While you are here, please take some time to support my friend Iyad @eyadnasir-6. He and his family lost their home to bombing. They fled to a hospital, only for it to be bombed as well. Iyad and his family, which includes several young nieces and nephews, have been living in fear ever since.

There has been often been bombing close around the tent where they live. The bombing not only causes great terror and stress, but the smoke and phosphorus from it has given Iyad serious respiratory issues, which worsen each day without treatment.

Iyad needs your help to be able to purchase basic needs like food and water for his family, and medical treatment for respiratory issues. The prices in Gaza are extremely high, and without your support, he and his family will suffer and starve. Please, share and donate to his campaign. Any amount, no matter how small, can make a difference to Iyad and his family. Please don't let them down.

(If you want to see any of the stuff listed in the poll, donate and either dm me or reblog with proof, and I will post a picture of whatever you want to see, and maybe a little story to go with it too.)

[soulmatesinc-if]

A light-hearted interactive fiction game about soulmates, chances and choices, written in ChoiceScript.

|| PLAY HERE || [119k]

|| extra content ||

Here at Soulmates Inc we specialize in chance meetings!

Love happens.

It takes by the storm. It is lucky, it is cruel, it makes no sense, it elevates. It is beautiful, it rears its ugly head, then it is beautiful once again. Now that, humans can manage on their own.

Soulmate-grade connection is an entirely different brand. Enter you. That's your brand. It requires dedicated labor. Whimsical meetings. Nuance.

As a soul-link, you arrange for those destined matches to happen using the powers of glamor at your disposal. An ancient practice, really, though, as with everything, it has evolved and happily marched with the times. You work out of an office, have a phone plan, a lease, and a favorite restaurant. Your boss is not a half-naked man with a bow and arrows but a fashionably dressed man who goes to a gym and drives an electrical Mustang.

It is nice. Modern.

Just one rule. The only rule, in fact. A scripture, if you will: never interact with a soul directly.

Which is precisely why your most recent half-match staring at your confused face is so damn bad. Worse yet, they can see right through your glamor for some reason.

Now what?..

love is all around you but it does not have to be for you: play as aro, ace, bi, gay or straight. Your romantic prospects are three, but each has a story to tell

explore who you are: a firm and enthusiastic believer, a burned-out office worker, or a skeptical soul-link questioning their purpose

use and evolve your soul-link powers: Empathy and Shroud

keep up with your job duties and bring people together while trying to protect your employer from a greater looming threat

someone is throwing around heavy words like 'destiny', but dealing with existential questions is entirely optional!

Amber | Andrew Wyatt Once a high-performer soul-link, they flew too close to the sun and snooped around where one does not snoop around. Having fallen from grace at a company that believes in chances, Wyatt is back on probation, though under your supervision. The light is snuffed out of their eyes, and instead of being a firm believer, Wyatt now drips disillusioned pearls of what they think is wisdom.

A languid redhead who wears sunglasses more often than not.

Samuel | Samantha C. Powell Sam has a steady job, does weekly family visits and always parks the bike properly. How do you learn that? Sam is also your sparkling new charge, a common everyperson, a salt of the earth—nope, not that simple at all! You cannot seem to find their soulmate (never happens) and they can see through your glamor (never happens either). To be fair, Sam is freaked out by it, too.

Your sporty charge in a wrinkle-free T-shirt with a mess of locs held back by a band.

Martin | Mia Romero A hectic ball of energy that is a human person, they are passionate about their distaste for your employer's business and are happy to go in length about it. Romero is messy, yet strangely put together in their belief: a hurricane that may sweep you off your feet if you are not careful enough. They know things, things no human should. You should probably report that to your boss...

A city dweller with hair tied sloppily in a short low ponytail, perfectly matched with dramatic eyebags.

Cosmic's Malleyuu Whump vs Flufftober: Day 18

"I see what's mine and take it" (Panic! at the Disco, Emperor's New Clothes) / Bewitched

Yuu's party watched in horror Malleus's body twitched uncomfortably, Rollo standing unfazed over his body.

"Bastard!" spat out Yuu, bursting out of the vines and raising their staff to charge a spell. From the corners of their eyes, Yuu could see the other members of their party do the same, or at least their own version with their respective weapons.

Rollo, however, was not amused.

"Cross me again," he warned, and raised his staff over his head.

Yuu tried to fire, but the shot was a total waste. Rollo vanished into the shadows too quickly, the bolt of magic ended up bouncing off the polished stone wall, dissipating into the ground.

Though minor, the attempt would end up costing Yuu precious seconds of sorting out the situation. As the resident healer, it was often on them to sort out complex magical problems whenever they were presented to the party, and this would prove to be a thorny mess to sort out.

Yuu, however, did not know that at this time. Still, when Malleus rose from the cloud of smoke that had enveloped his body to a dizzying height, they were able to guess that Rollo was indeed a very, very powerful wizard.

It was easy to see why Malleus was doing so. His lower half appeared to have been replaced with the body of some sort of reptile, with scaly flesh and clawed limbs and all of that.

Yuu guessed it was a dragon, though they'd never seen one. It matched the descriptions they'd heard.

How had Rollo been able to summon so much transformation magic at the drop of a hat? He'd have to have constructed the body of the dragon with something, would it be prudent to destroy his supply and cut him off.

Or... was this something Malleus could do innately?

"Yuu!"

Before they could blink, someone was tackling them to the ground. They'd become to fixated to notice the haze leaving Malleus's eyes as he took a swipe at them.

The long, vicious claws were mere breaths away from Yuu as Ace held them down, and Yuu was thankful the wind had been knocked out of their lungs, lest they scream at it all.

They saw Jack draw an arrow as Deuce tried to stick Malleus with a knife in the stomach. Both points seemed only to agitate Malleus more, however, and he roared so loudly, Yuu felt it in their chest.

Yuu rolled away to let Ace snatch his sword off his belt and charge forward, and Yuu began firing up a spell, though they didn't know which one to use.

Malleus's eyes were wide, his teeth gnashing and grinding, the still-human part of his body flailing wildly.

He attacked Deuce, who screamed and ran away as fast as he could, just barely dodging a sickening snap of Malleus's jaws.

His jerky movements suggested he was being yanked somehow, possibly against his will, but Yuu's brain was paralyzed with fear, and they couldn't quite think straight.

Malleus's tail swung around, crashing Jack into Ace, and Yuu saw what it could be that was puppeting Malleus- Rollo, standing behind him with his staff plucking at some glowing strings.

Yuu fired again, but Rollo vanished once more. They found him again quickly in a ledge on the walls, but Yuu knew it was no use in trying to shoot again without a better strategy. He was just too fast.

Instead, Yuu tried to summon a great ball of light and explode it right next to Malleus. They took most of the energy out of their spell, instead maximizing the remaining energy as light and sound to create a flashbang.

If he was falling prey to baser instincts, this irrationality might care him off, and indeed, his wretched squeals made Yuu's heart wrench.

But it worked. Yuu saw Malleus trying desperately to rub the light out of his eyes, allowing Yuu's party to regroup.

Rollo would not stand for it. With a cold glint in his eyes, he raised his hands, and Yuu swore they could see the puppet strings attached straight to his fingers.

Malleus went slack, tear tracks running down his cheeks, then rigid, all with the same vacant look in his eyes before his pupils sharpened.

Onto the object in his line of sight- Yuu.

He surged forward to slash at them, and Yuu hit the floor to dodge. His fixation had not ended, however, and he pushed them further and further into a corner of the room as Malleus attacked.

"M-Malleus!" Yuu exclaimed, feeling their staff tap the back of the wall indicating they'd run out of space, and with that, time.

To anyone else, the change might have been imperceptible, Yuu thought there might have been a chance that the words had actually sunk in.

"Malleus," they said again, trying to sound calm. "You remember me, right?"

They tried to examine whether or not the minute change sin his face meant he was listening, but the biggest tell to Yuu was that he wasn't attacking anymore. He was still coiled tightly like a predator, but at least Malleus had stopped for now.

"Yuu!" exclaimed Epel, but Yuu had to ignore him to focus.

"Malleus, please remember," insisted Yuu. It seemed it was their voice more than their words he was responding to, so Yuu kept talking. "I know you can calm down. You must be scared, right?"

He was breathing heavily, as if the strings were taking a physical toll on him. Yuu could see his shoulders heave up and down.

"That's good," said Yuu, lowering their voice a bit. "That's really good. You're doing good, you know that?"

Malleus was only staring now, tense body having seemingly uncoiled a bit.

"Thank you, Malleus," they said.

Just then, another voice cut in.

"Attack!" shouted Rollo, and Yuu's stomach dropped out as Malleus lunged straight for them.

There wasn't even time for them to scream as his claws sunk into them, but to their surprise, Yuu was actually fine.

One of Malleus's long clawed limbs had grabbed onto them, lifting them to his eye level.

From this close, Yuu could see just how unhinged he look, the magic clearly twisting his body in cruel and unusual ways.

"Malleus! I said, attack!" ordered Rollo, but Yuu could hardly hear him over he pounding in their ears.

They tried to stay still as Malleus examined them, fist squeezing and loosening with no regard for their security.

"Oh no, Yuu!" They recognized that as Jack, calling up helplessly from below.

Malleus had finally centered his gaze on them, though, and had semeed to come to a conclusion.

Nodding to himself, he growled a bit to the people below him, enveloped Yuu beneath his great wings, and before they knew it, the two of them had vanished, having teleported away.

Chapter 1: Departure

One month later, the entirety of Teyvat now knows of the gold stained arrow, and after gathering the necessary supplies for travel, several search parties are being mobilized towards the land mass that seemed to appear overnight.

In Mondstadt, the knights' reconnaissance crew was being mobilized as well as the Adventurers' Guild.

Jean: Do you understand your mission?

Eula: Crystal clear ma'am, find their grace and bring them back safely.

Jean: Good, I want you to set off as soon as you're prepared.

Eula nods and exits the acting grand master's office before running into Mika.

Mika: Everyone's been prepped ma'am, we're just waiting for the provisions and other supplies to be brought onto the ship. We should be able to depart within a few hours.

Eula: Thank you, Mika. Let's go wait with the others then.

Meanwhile, at the Adventurers' Guild. A certain boy was fighting for a spot on the ship.

Bennett: Come on, you can't expect me to stay here when an entire island appeared overNighy.

Adventurer: No, I don't want your bad luck anywhere near me or my team, not on land, and certainly not at sea. You're staying here.

Cyrus: Oh? Who said that choice was yours to make?

Adventurer: C-Captain Cyrus, but this boy, he's cursed. There's no other way to explain it. He'd be putting everyone in danger if he went.

Cyrus: Danger? Danger comes with the job kid, and you clearly haven't been paying attention. Ever since their grace smiled upon him, his bad luck seems to disappear whenever they're involved, so I say he's going.

The adventurer fell silent in the face of his commanders argument.

Bennett: T-Thank you, Captain Cyrus. I swear I won't let you down.

With that, Bennett rushes to the guild ship, happy as can be.

Fischl: Once again, this boy's fate changes quite sporadically.

Oz: I'm quite sure it's just his luck being better when their grace are involved.

Fischl: Doth mine ears deceive, or are you proclaiming that the being of creation and power is in no way tied to fate's hands?

Oz: N-Not at all Mein Fraulein .

In Inazuma, the ace detective makes his move.

Heizou: Is everything ready for departure?

Soldier: Yes, we can set sail whenever you're ready.

Heizou: Very good. Prepare to set sail!

Meanwhile, below deck, there seems to be an uninvited passenger.

Itto: Alright, snuck aboard and they're non the wiser.

The oni's thoughts were interrupted as he was pulled aside.

Shinobu: What do you think you're doing?

Itto: I'm going to help find their grace, then people will have to stop looking down on the Arataki Gang, or at least stop bad mouthing you guys.

Shinobu: You idiot, you're going to get thrown in jail again or killed.

Itto: Oh, you don't think I can handle this alone, so you're coming along for the ride.

Shinobu: I am not joining this adventure, I'm stopping it and bringing you back.

Itto: Well, if that's the case, then how come the boat's already moving?

Shinobu: What?

Gazing out the nearest window, Shinobu finds Itto's words to be true. Seems she is in for quite the headache.

In Sumeru, theAkademiya gathers their scholars.

Nahida: There aren't going to be that many fighters outside of a few mercenaries, so you should go help them alright.

These words echoed in the Wanderer's head as he heads toward Port Ormos, where he encounters the rest of the expedition group.

Tighnari: Oh. I didn't expect to see you here.

Wanderer: I was brought along as extra muscle. What about these two?

Kaveh: The scholars have theorized that due to their grace's mental state at the time of the islands appearance, there may be a few differences that need to be studied to properly explore this new land.

Faruzan: With my linguistic knowledge and our combined mechanical prowess, there shouldn't be anything too difficult there.

Tighnari: Don't sound so sure of yourself. Remember, this is a god of creation we're talking about. Even our most esteemed scholars may not be enough.

Kaveh: Anyway. We're just waiting on the hired mercenaries. They are coming all the way from the dessert, but they should be here soon.

A few hours later.

Dehya: Hey. I recognize you lot from that interdarshan thing, so I'm guessing I'm in the right place.

Wanderer: Hmm? And you are?

Dehya Huh? Oh, right. Aside from Tighnari, we've never properly met. The name's Dehya, I'm the leader of the mercenaries you hired, pleasure to be doing business with you.

Wanderer: Is everything ready now?

Tighnari: Yeesh! You're a prickly one, but yes, as soon as everyone is on board, we can....

Wanderer doesn't let him finish before walking away, wanting this to be over with already.

Kaveh: (Sigh) This is going to be a long trip.

In Liyue, there were two individuals meeting at Wangshu Inn.

Zhongli: So, you are seeking permission to depart from Liyue to investigate this "demonic presence"?

Xiao: Yes. This demonic presence poses a threat, not to you, but their grace fled, suggesting they are in a weakened state.

Zhongli: Very well. If that is the case, you may depart as soon as you're able. One more thing, you seem troubled. Why is that?

Xiao: I'm just confused. Why would their grace flee only to put themself in more danger?

Zhongli: I believe you've answered your own question earlier. They are in a weakened state, so it is unlikely that this island was created, but more likely, it was summoned. As for why this one in particular. I can't imagine they were in the best state of mind when fleeing for their life, so thinking would have been difficult. This place must have been fresh in their mind for one reason or another.

With their conversation over, Xiao departs for Liyue harbor, where numerous milileth soldiers and Xiangling were preparing to depart aboard the Alcor.

_____________________

Note: Sorry if Liyue's section feels rushed compared to the others, even after leaving this, taking a nap, and continuing afterwards, I was just barely able to finish Xiao and Zhongli's meeting, but I hope you enjoyed this despite this glaring issue. This is also my first time writing Fischl, so I hope I didn't mess up.

Bruce nodded, hesitating before taking a half-step forward, "I know. You have never once come between me and the children. That means more to me than I have the words for..."

He trailed off, catching the smile and then shame-faced, looking aside, "Love. Selina. I- Jason reminded me that you would prefer the truth from me. It is just- I suppose, I wonder if you already know." Blue eyes turned back to hers, searching her face for... something. Unsure how to begin.

He brought his hands forward, revealing now that what he was fidgeting with was a non-descript, but very clear joker card. He turned it in his hands, tapping it against his palm with ill-conceived anxiety.

It had been nearly a week since his abject apology. Longer since Bruce had first suspected Selina was displeased with him, longer since she had sent him- concussed and hurting and confused -to the cold of the couch, longer since he had began reaching out, heart troubled and dismayed as he began to question and overthink and worry.

By the time she would even let him admit to her what he had done- and he wasn't completely certain what that was, only certain what he felt guilty of -there was no relief, only tension tight enough to ache.

It showed in how he stood awkwardly before her. Standing in a modified parade rest which only did him the favor of hiding how white-knuckled his hands were, gripping one wrist in the other hand. The other grasping a slim playing card between its fingers.

"Selina," he began. Paused. "Love," Bruce started again. "I'm... sorry for my abrupt departure. Talia," he winced, unsure if it was wise to mention her, "and I needed to discuss our son, and there was Jason...his pregnancy..."

He trailed off. "I'm sorry. I meant to talk to you sooner."

Bruce had narrowed his guilt to pinpoints: the matter of the card, his son's pointed reprimand that Selina would prefer the truth and of course, the gunman in the room, the truth itself. Holding him metaphorically hostage.

He fidgeted with the playing card behind his back, waiting for Selina's assent before even considering continuing.

STOP; Mai and Her Family Need Your Support!

Last year, Mai and her family were displaced from their home and forced to leave behind everything they once knew.

Now, in displacement, they struggle to afford basic resources. Even food and water are barely within their budget. On top of that, the area they are currently camping in is absolutely filthy and full of garbage; this has put them in constant danger of illness. Of course, medicine and sanitary products are also too expensive if they're available at all, so they have little power to combat this.

Even outside of that, Mai's family has been suffering from health issues. Her mother needs constant medication for her heart, which they are struggling to secure since it costs them around $700 USD every two weeks. Her brother suffered a very severe injury which he needed stitches for, which he now needs surgery on but cannot get. He also, like his mother, needs medication; but, they struggle to get it. Mai herself has recently contracted hepatitis from contaminated water.

In order to help this family survive genocide, they are trying to raise $40,000 USD. So far, they've only raised $2,518; their last donation was 5 hours ago.

Please donate if you can and share their campaign; anything you can do is an invaluable help.

"We are exhausted from losing lovedones and are tired to the core.

We try to cope with this harsh life, but the pain exceeds our ability to endure.

We arehuman, not stone. We struggle to survive and attempt to rebuild

what has been shattered within us, but every time we rise, another wave of loss hits us.

Have mercy on us, world.We are not asking for the impossible; we only seek a little compassion and humanity. We are tired of empty promises and cold stares. We want to live with dignity and breathe the air of peace.🥺😥"
