{@ Vash} He was originally going to just pick his pocket like all the other blow-ins that very obviously weren't local and didn't belong, seeing how the guy seemed to bumble his way around town in that flashy red jacket... he couldn't be all that clever, right? An easy mark, for sure. But admittedly he couldn't help but pause and stare at that unnatural robotic arm when he got close and saw him from the right angle, not subtle at all about how he tipped his head at it. It was... very glittery and shiny and not at all like anything he'd personally seen before, his curiosity for once outweighing his impulse to steal. Just where did someone get a prosthetic like that?

He casually walked around, a duffle bag slung over his shoulder. He whistles a tune, appearing casual and carefree. But deep down, Vash had a feeling. Someone was looking at him. He didn't appear to notice it, feigning obliviousness as Vash continued to walk. He continues to whistle, looking for the nearest inn, and hoping that the inn served food. If not, he'll be looking extra hard for some restaurant.

Then the whistling comes to an end, slowly fading, as Vash failed to shrug off the feeling. Someone was staring. Someone was near or so he felt. Then he managed to found out who. Hm. The corners of his lips curled, forming a smile. "Why, hello there friend." He said so naturally, smiling. "Oh, I see my prosthetic caught your eye? Bit of a fancy one; hand-made. Useful in my travels. I hope you don't plan on nickin' it. It'll be troublesome, y'know. Nicking an entire arm off someone. Doubt it'll sell a lot."

Reno: We should make a nithing pole to drive away the neighbors.

Kytes: A.... a what?

Reno: A nithing pole. Its a dead horse on a stick and you curse people you don't like with it.

Kytes: Oh... you said nithing pole.

Reno:

Kytes:

Reno:

Kytes:

Reno: You thought I said yiffing pole, didn't you?

The ruins of the old temple really weren't that big or complex, but not knowing his way around made the place feel so much bigger and more winding than it actually was, and being around potential enemies in every corner didn't terribly help. This was his best lead for information though, so like it or not, he was going to have to tolerate the discomfort and tread carefully--

...or as carefully as one can, almost smacking right into someone as he rounds a corner, hastily stepping back with alarm he can't immediately hide before he breathes out and forces himself to visibly relax, murmuring a soft, hoarse apology.

The ship itself was a torch in the sky - shining bright over the temple. A new sun to a world drenched in the night that just might offer solutions to the task at hand. Minthara stood atop the ramparts of the ruins, hands outstretched with the reports in hand to compare their recent findings to the land before them. What with the Druid captured and secured below and the promise of a talking prisoner, they would soon locate the sanctuary of heretics. She recalls meeting the eye of Dror Ragzlin - how they had looked at each other with understanding, and a smile pulling at her lips as he turns to order the goblin forces out to the crashing ship.

What the Drow does not expect, is after a exchange with one Priestess Gut - that she would knock shoulders with one such intruder on her way back to her outpost. Minthara stares long and hard with the tilt of her head - moments from shouting at their guards for so easily letting intruders past their posts. That is - until she sensed something. What's this? Minthara focused her mind - an ice cold hand shoving into the mind of the individual in front of her. Reaching into every part of who they are - what they are.

"Hm... A True Soul.. Most curious, that the Absolute would put her blessings upon a.. Colnbluth.." And yet, anything - or anyone - even if an outsider, would be preferable to these ... creatures. "Come, have you come to join my hunt?"

The woman watched as he reached into his pocket, and she very nearly went for the weapon at her hip--she had no idea of what he was reaching for. However, she stopped herself. She had gotten this far being nice rather than vicious, and she intended to see this through--unless he forced her hand, of course. He could be reaching for a weapon, or perhaps he was simply reaching for something else.

Luckily for him, he simply pulled out a notepad. There was no need for violence. Still, her patience was being tested. She wasn't sure of how much longer she could do this whole "nice" thing...

With a slight raise of one brow, Raven took the paper from his grasp and read over it. A smirk formed on her lips as she reached a certain part. " 'General Fuckhead'... You gotta be talking about Ironwood." She couldn't argue with that. She didn't know that man very well, but she did know him. Back when she worked for Ozpin... Raven continued reading. A girl in red... That had to be Ruby. "Did you see a woman with gold hair? Purple eyes? Glove gauntlets?"

⌜ ♥ @adenial ⌟ ―― Personal OOC answers ► 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝘾𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂   𝙊𝙐𝙏 = ❝ [ OC ]:     for the mun to talk about a mun’s original character (OC) muse who they really like, for any reason at all, from the way that they’re written, themes that are referenced in the portrayal, how the mun explores their character, the characteristics and personality and relationships found in their portrayal, etc. ❞

You know, I'm a huge supporter of OCs, I use to write OCs liek no tomorrow (I had a multi-muse blog once of like... 30 OCs XD).

So now that I think about it, I'm kind of sad I don't have many OCs on my blog! I think I got....3? 5? I'm not sure but I want every single one of you to know your amazing. So, instead of talking about just one, I'm going to link EVERYONE who has OCs here.

@adenial / @sxlemnity / @crowtongued / @elisethetraveller / @th-ramblr / @goldenmedic / @astrxae

I think... that is all the OC blogs (If I have missed you, please, PLEASE tell me! but I think I got everyone).

The one thing about OCs is that, each and every one of these people take time to create a character from scratch. They write up a history, develop a personality, form family bonds and tragedies that might happen. They literally put so SOO much time into OCs and sometimes, people don't get the proper appreciation and observation they deserve. Muns of OCs muses deserve so much, because it is not easy to craft a character from the bottom up. I am not saying people who write canons are any less important (write a canon character is just as valid and important and have the same about of love and depth). But to take weeks, sometimes even months, to create an OC.

It takes a lot of time and devotion and every person who writes an OC should know just how amazing that is. So I can't just talk about one of you guys, because all of you deserve a spotlight and notice.

I notice you. I see you.

We may not write or interact, but I think your OCs are amazing.

@th-ramblr sent: In hindsight, he's not really sure why he thought taking to hiding with a giant spotlight lantern would keep eyes off him in this dark place. Thoughtless habit, he supposed. Putting it away and going without light was out of the question though - as he'd found out the hard way once already. The threat of the shadow-curse was much more real than any old elf lady with a couple of swords. One, at least, he could fight if he really had to. He exhales unhappily under his breath, tentatively stepping halfway out of cover to reveal himself, but he's still wary, his eyes flicking about for any sign he should immediately turn tail and run, his other hand clutched around his dagger to defend himself if need be. Well... if he could face one of the Abs./olute's Chosen in his own lair and not immediately get cut down, maybe he could start here with some conversation as well.

The lantern is more than a beacon; it is a giveaway. If she were of a mind for it, she might put aside this waiting and be the one to coax him out of hiding. As it is, she has learned in the face of reservation, hesitation, that sometimes the best option is to wait for one to unfurl, to bloom, on their own terms where and when time allows for it. Fortunately, for now it does, and erring on the side of wisdom appears to bear fruit before long. She watches his approach, aware and knowing, but not unkind.

"Ah! The hero of the hour, emerging triumphant at last. Come. I will make this as painless as possible." A sweep of her arm gestures him as close as he might dare; the terms are still his own, after all. "I thought we might speak of what awaits at the city. That is still your intended path, is it not?"

[Modern verse] "Heaven". Right. People had a strange way of naming things. He would consider it anything but. Loud noises. Too many people. Too many drunk people. Worst of all, partiers. Everything he hated, wrapped up into one type of 'business' people called a club.

But it was business that brought him here, reluctantly, on the heels of his boss (and a little more than that). Rune wanted to meet with someone here for work, but just because he was tagging along didn't mean he had to like it. Still, Rune had assured him this place was legitimate enough as far as establishments went, and he shouldn't have to worry about much. If that turned out to not be the case, he always had his panic button...

His sigh was lost under the beat of the music as he seated himself alone at what seemed to be the main bar, disinterested even as his pale blues scanned over the different groups of patrons, only really paying attention to a glimpse of Rune seemingly finding who he was looking for and scurrying off to a table off the side of the room to talk.

He supposed he'd just lurk here and wait for Rune's meeting to be over, looking as awkward and out of place as he felt.

@th-ramblr

"You seem a little lost," she murmured, setting down a glass of water in front of the stranger, noting how clearly uncomfortable he was.

"If you need help with the menu, just let me know. It's scary looking and loud in here, but I like to think it's not too terrible. You learn it drown it out after a while."

💚 SHIPPING INFO 💚

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSES SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

Tagged by: @vastayan--vigilante

Tagging: @legendscried if you haven’t already been tagged and want to, I am too lazy to look. Anyone else who wants to.

1. WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

I mean Alekt and Spy are obvious since they’re canonically married to each other otl. Best power couple.

If we’re talking about my other blogs though,

@th-ramblr: Again, Kytes and Reno are obvious because they’re also married and mates (*jazz hands @ them being wolf shifters*).

And for my canon muse blog, @49th-rabbitch, Lavi x Lenalee. They’re basically canon and I like to try and stick to being faithful to his canon material. I also have a rarepair of Lavi x Road as more of a tense/toxic thing. I just find them kinda neat.

2. HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

I guess it depends. I’m not so much fussed about age gaps as I am about the people writing them and/or the content and how its portrayed, which I think matters more. As an example, if someone is basically titillating themselves off of adult x minor ships and finds that personally “hot” for instance, that’s different than someone who is willing to write it but is sensitive OOCly to how awful it actually is.

Think: The difference between “Lolita” and “The Suicide of Rachel Foster”. One is an exploration of bad events while being sensitive to the reality of the subject matter and still OOCly condemning the offender, the other is a blatant pro-pedophile narrative spun as “entertainment” that doesn’t even bother trying to hide how pro-pedophile it is, to the point of openly mocking the pedophile’s victim for committing suicide from the trauma.

That said, I will outright refuse to write anything involving a muse under 15 and usually for teen muses they have to be with someone of their own general age range (15 to 20 at most). Reason being that some of the universes I write in either have different societal standards (think medieval universes where people were expected to marry by 16, if not earlier), involve realistic criminal elements that I don’t feel like sugar-coating and pretending don’t exist (like human trafficking), or have characters that are that age range where I first got into those series and started shipping stuff when I myself was that age (Lavi being canonically 18-19 and Lenalee being 16) and I think its kind of dumb to pretend like 16 year olds don’t get together with other 16 year olds.

If I don’t know you well enough to make a judgment call about whether you’re actually capable of writing certain things without being weird about it though, my default for muses is 18+ at minimum. 20+ preferred. I will not make exceptions to this even if you ask me really, really nicely.

Also while this blog is not strictly 18+ for general interactions (Kytes’ blog is strictly 18+ though), I will not do any shipping or NSFW with actual real life minors. If you ask and you’re not at LEAST 18 years old, I will hardblock you. “I’ll be 18 in a few days/weeks/months” is NOT “close enough”. And there again, I prefer you to be OOCly at least 20+.

There probably won’t be shipping on this blog at all anyway though, so I don’t see it being an issue here.

3. HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?

I’d say probably anything intimate that’s beyond kisses, cuddles, innocent touches, and “puppy love” things.

4. ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

Extremely. I don’t trust a lot of people, and I generally don’t heavily involve myself with people whose main focus is NSFW/shipping ahead of any other proper development, even when it comes to canon characters lol

Unpopular opinion but my experience with people who are too ship-focused is that they’re fickle and only want to use other people to get off, but as soon as the shipping and NSFW stops they lose interest in the person behind the screen. Not here for that. I’m a ride-or-die bitch when I get involved with people. Sorry not sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

5. WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

None for my OCs. Alekt and Spy are married. Kytes is married to Reno (@legendscried).

Lavi is a bit of a hoe and very Bi and he doesn’t do “committed relationship” so he’d just as easily ship with most anyone as long as they don’t do the whole “feelings” game or try to make him only be with them.

6. DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

Yes. Communication is everything and I don’t do spontaneous or forced ships. I’m also not here to just serve as peoples’ shipping fix for them to masturbate to and then leave. None of you are paying me enough lol

7. ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

I honestly don’t care for NSFW ships. If they happen, they happen. If they don’t, just as well. Brotp type ships are awesome though. Give me all of them.

Basically I like characters who have chemistry and can work well together, but not really that into romantic or sexual ships. Friendships, family, found-family, rivals, enemies, frienemies, business partners. Give me all of those, yes.

8. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

Out of my OCs, Kytes and Reno (@legendscried). They just have a ton of history and chemistry. Funnily enough, they were never supposed to get together and were planned to be more of a found-family dynamic but, welp, here we are.

9. FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

Talk to me and communicate, most of all. Write with me. Plot with me. Generally just be a decent person and a friend who hangs around more than just to use me to get their thrills and then go.

I’m really not fussed to ship, particularly romantically or sexually. And I’m certainly not looking for people who want to hook up and be friendly and jump to NSFW a week after meeting. If you’re thirsty for NSFW, look elsewhere, cuz I ain’t your guy.

@th-ramblr​~

Isolating yourself from other people was something Raven had grown to live by. It was better this way; she couldn’t hurt other people, and they couldn’t hurt her. That’s what she thought was best, at least until she was shown just how cowardly such a belief was. And she was a coward--Yang was right, and it hurt just to see just how wrong Raven had been. But despite it all, she still kept her distance. It was better for everyone that way...right? 

She knew Yang and her friends left for Atlas to get the relic there. The Branwen Clan didn’t need to remain closely connected to the outside world, but having basic knowledge of what was going on would be beneficial. That was how she learned about the situation in Atlas. She didn’t think when she took off to the northern kingdom, only acted. That’s what Yang would do, right? And Yang was better than her in every way. So, she flew all the way to that kingdom, only to find everything destroyed. Atlas was gone... Mantle was gone. And Raven didn’t know how to look for her daughter and her friends.

She walked alone through the snow, red hues looking around for any sign of people. This place... It seemed so deserted. She hadn’t found a single person still alive since the moment she got here. Until... Raven could make out a figure in the distance, too far to tell who it was. She knew the chances were close to zero, but even still... For once in nineteen years, she felt the need to help her daughter. “Who are you?” she called out to the figure. Her mask remained on her hip, Raven doubting anyone would recognize who she truly was. She walked towards the figure in the snow.

@th-ramblr liked for a thing!

“I don’t know how true it is, since we’re not really from around here, but we started picking up on some rumors of a daemon that was giving seasoned hunters trouble..?”  Noctis tried to be cool and nonchalant about it, not wanting anyone to think he and his companions were out to steal anyone’s bounty.  Of course, that would be a bonus...

Not the point, though!  He did just legitimately want to help.  Especially where daemons were concerned.  “I mean, we’re really used to working as a group, but we might be able to join forces if it’s really serious.”

[incorrect-mordet-quotes]

Kytes: Reno is the smartest, kindest, most brave person I know!

Thalreth: Statistically speaking, that says a lot more about you than it does about him.

The softness of his features meant nothing to the mafiosa. She had seen enough faces to know looks were deceiving. After all... He had scars all across his skin, and she knew that sunken look in his features. It was a look she shared. Unwell, sickly even, but not to be underestimated. Maybe he was just a normal person who was unlucky enough to face numerous injuries...or, perhaps, there was something significant about those scars.

"...I don't buy that." What type of idiot would search for a mafia member?? It didn't matter where you were from. Mafias and gangs were dangerous. Even a child could tell you that. This sounded like a terrible attempt at a coverup. Or...perhaps he was just stupidly curious. His innocent expression alluded to that being an option... Maybe he really was just some idiot...

"If you have any regard for your own life...don't go after mafiosi..." He was lucky she couldn't spill his blood right now. The Port Mafia usually didn't care when random civilians were killed on the job, but right now, Jezilia had eyes on her. She couldn't afford the extra attention. "You're either lying to me or just stupid...and honestly, I don't care which one it is."
