dunno if i’ll be able to finish this. but so like dabihawks au where like. dabi does his research aka when he was touya he was with his dad once during the whole takami thief thing and met keigo. flash forward he doesnt believe a thing about this hero hawks. sees him for the fabricated person he has become. and eventually hawks sees dabi for who he really is and was and like vigilante-ish dabihawks. bits about the au and the snippet i wrote under the cut.

cause this shit gets LONG af

hawks feels fake. doesnt rlly know who he has even become

the commission kinda forced a lotta habits out of him and completely molded him into who they want him to be

he barely even finds his name to be anything more than a stranger’s name at this point.

anyway so dabi p much knows who he is. does his own digging. and kinda puts some pieces together and sees how fake hawks is

hawks barely even knows if he shows any genuine emotions at this point. he’s kinda at a breaking point where he cant recognize himself and separate keigo from hawks. feeling like hawks has just swallowed him whole

he does show genuine things though. sometimes says or does shit out of line but he tends to have obedience beat into him even if he sometimes has a bit of a mouth on him. it’s mild tho

at the start of dabi working w hawks, hawks was very careful

it kinda progressed into keigo coming out more around dabi even though it was in bits and pieces

anyway dabi puts two and two together and realizes him and hawks are pretty similar and instead of seeing him as a traitor (though he’s sure that he’s not 100% on their side) he sees him as someone who can fit in with the misfits and he can p much fully convince hawks to ditch the bs

so the confrontation happens (see ending snippet) and hawks is like wtf just happened

and p much eventually there’s some tender moments between dabi and hawks and hawks ends up explaining how used he’s felt

he has been molded into the perfect obedient soldier; maybe sorta kinda explains that the commission is having him do double agent duties and instead of reacting badly dabi is p receptive and doesnt just try to kill him. instead he can see how badly hawks wants to break out of his cage and fly free and he deeply feels for that and knows how that can feel and is like aight well fuck them

so hawks kinda double agents on the commission??

and he does end up meeting the LoV and like sees how human they are

but also he’s like damn son but okay i dont agree w everything

and dabi is like yeahhh same ??? idk they are a means to an ends for me but also not lmao

and then there’s some dabi spilling his guts as they get closer and get more intimate and very much boyfriends

and hawks is so livid and he cant help but fuck around with endeavor the next time he sees him. and like he’s just so much more distant to him. he can’t begin to wrap his head around it. and he’s so broken that like.. the one person that he saw as his true hero. that “saved him” is a horrible person behind closed doors

the one person who he was inspired by and agreed to join the commission’s forces for is just horrible

there’s just a lotta solidarity between hawks and dabi and a lotta shared anger and hurt

and they’re boyfriends and it’s great but also like hawks isn’t a horrible person

neither is dabi ??? i mean listen they’ve both killed ppl. they probs will continue to kinda do it. but it’s always just horrible ppl

like listen killing ?? not great folks??? but also like idk man..

they also def leave kids outta this 10000%

anyway p much they end up ditching the LoV too. try to get some of them outta that shit. like toga who has become like a sorta lil sister for dabi in a way

they both just feel so horrible and gross seeing kids get into that shit

also like the girl needs some HELP. some therapy and rehabilitation idk

idk i love the morality shit with the LoV but might not play with it too much here

anyway they end up doing their own thing and the commission is quick to denounce him and just ruin his image

and try to kill him lmao they made him a perfect hero which could be a perfect villain and if he isn’t working for them he’s working against them (i mean he is) and needs to be Stopped Permanently

anyway here’s the snippet. my single brain cell that helped write this has left my body:

At this point, Hawks wasn’t so sure he was even real. His existence felt fabricated. Each smile or joke carefully placed. Each movement was calculated. He didn’t act out of line. His interviews were carefully thought out months in advance if not lies that he himself began to believe after years of telling them. His penthouse had just enough “personal” touches that when he had a spare moment to invite someone over it actually seemed like it could be a home. Hawks’ original motivations were squashed and were pushed aside unless they created an interesting story. His natural mannerisms that came with his mutation quirk were learned to be suppressed. Hell his own name sounded like a stranger’s to his ears. That is if anyone even knew it.

“Is there anything real about you, hero,” Dabi spoke. His back wasn’t fully to Hawks, left side presented to him as he set a framed graduation photo down and fully faced the winged hero. Dabi stuffed his hands in his pockets and tilted his head to the side some, waiting for an answer. Hawks snorted and gave him an unamused look.

“I’m as real as they get, hot stuff.” He kept a casual air about his words, hands spreading out in surrender. “Not sure what else you expect.”

Hawks was on edge, but he wouldn’t let the villain know it. They were supposed to be meeting soon, but once again the villain pulled something unexpected and had been waiting for Hawks in his own apartment. Hawks’ feathers twitched slightly, sharpened edges ready for the command if it came. Dabi leveled him with an unimpressed stare. There was a moment where their gazes met in an intense battle, though Dabi’s look softened as he broke out in a lazy grin.

“Y’know... You might be just as much of a mystery as I am, Pretty Bird.”

“I think I’m a pretty open book myself.”

“I think you like to let people think that.”

“And I think you’re just trying to fuck with me. Can we just get to what you came here for? I had a looong day and kinda wanna get some food and some sleep.” Hawks punctuated his words by stretching his arms up high before shedding off his coat, goggles, and headphones. He tossed the coat over the back of his couch and dropped the gear onto the end table. He hoped Dabi would just drop this whole line of thought, take this as some sort of submission, and be satisfied enough to leave.

Wrong.

“Oh, we can get to that later… You, on the other hand, are much more interesting.” He moved closer, hands coming out of his pockets as he crossed the room to stand a few feet from Hawks.

“I’d love to be a great host and entertain you, but unfortunately I wasn’t expecting any guests today.” Hawks crossed his arms and watched Dabi carefully, eyes narrowing some in challenge.

“That’s too bad. You know, I’ve been doing some research on you. I don’t quite think you are who you say you are, Hawks.” The winged-hero tensed just ever so slightly before forcing his muscles to relax some. He didn’t like the way things were going. While Dabi’s fire was his ultimate weakness, he’s sure that he’s fast enough to put a sharpened feather to his throat and end this all here and now than Dabi would be if he wanted to put the spy to an end.

“And who do you think I am then, Dabi?” He raised an unruly eyebrow. His primaries ached to shoot out and end this, poised at the ready.

Dabi blinked slowly, bright turquoise eyes disappearing for a moment before shining under heavily lidded eyes. His grin stretched a bit wider, tugging on where healthy skin met the grafts.

“I think you aren’t the hero you put out there… Or the person you say you are. You like to say a lotta nothin’ don’t you?” Dabi stepped closer and Hawks’ fingers twitched but his arms remained crossed.

“I think you like to pretend to be this airhead bird. Like to use that name. Like to look like you’re the perfect little hero... You’re good at it, too. You aren’t though, are you… Takami Keigo.”

Hawks had a primary feather in each hand, on pressed to Dabi’s throat. It pressed in just enough to draw some blood from the marred skin grafts. He could feel the heat radiating from Dabi’s skin and particularly from the small flames in each of his palms, but the villain made no move to use it against him. He just continued to grin.

“What’s the look of surprise there, Birdie?” Dabi purred.

“How do you know that name?” He demanded, crowding further into Dabi’s space.

“Like I said, I did my research. Now unless you want to end up on the crispy side of cooked, I’d ease the fuck up,” Dabi’s voice took on a slight bite towards the end and his grin lessened. “And here I was going to tell you that you can meet the boss finally. Thought you might be real League material.”

Hawks instincts and mind screamed to press the sharp feather further or at least hold his position, demand answers. His judgment told him to ease off and soften the feathers once more. Hawks didn’t move too far from Dabi, though the primary feathers in his hands softened and returned to his wings. The heat radiating off Dabi died down along with the flames in his hands. Steam left his skin as he killed the flames.

“Much better… We don’t want any incidents like that when you get to meet the boss, right? You’re lucky I’m a lot more patient.” Hawks wasn’t sure what this was all about but didn’t argue with him on that point.

“Glad to see your fake little hero persona is starting to crack.”

OTP TWENTY QUESTIONS - TRISS MADDOX / AVA DU MORTAIN

i was tagged by @goblin-deity and @pillarsofeternity thank u both !!! tagging @trvelyans @arlathen @solasan @lvllns @abelas @noonvvraith @lavelans @rosebarsoap and anybody else who wants to!

who can out drink the other?

who CAN but chooses not to? ava. who WILL but absolutely SHOULDN’T? triss 100%. neither one of them are big drinkers but put triss in a social setting and watch her instantly lose any and all ability to self discipline lmao

who says “i love you” more?

hmm okay so they both have their own individual and specific Issues around relationships, so neither of them rly say it all that much except during intense/intimate moments when it rly matters. but i think after a while (as in like a year or so into the rel when ava is used to it and comfortable) i think ava might say it slightly more than triss does, just in priavte together whilst Doting on her u know.....

who has trouble sleeping alone?

triss ! i mean even before they got together her nightmares were real bad :( but being w ava thru the night helps, to the point where theyre basically a non issue for her anymore. plus she’s a very cuddly person in private just in general and likes BEING cuddled fdjdjfkjf so not having bae w her during the long, cold nights is..... a tragedy luv

who swears more?

oh triss djdjkffdkjfdk tho shes doesnt swear THAT much and never around ppl she doesnt know. usually just when shes distracted or with fwends having a goof...

who does more of the housework?

probably ava.................. triss is lowkey a messy bitch lol. not DIRTY or anything like her house isnt gross or whatever but she definitely just leaves shit lying around and never tidies lmao. when ava comes around she always ends up cleaning jsut bc shes Like that. as for things like dishes/vaccuuming/etc, mostly triss does that stuff bc its her apartment lmao,, tho ava will always end up helping her anyway bc, again, shes just like that

who forgets their anniversary?

triss :’’’’(((( shes RLY independent and before ava she took a very modern approach to dating so she rly doesnt.... consider those things too much. i like to think ava WOULD remember bc her memory is like. impeccable lol and she’d want to know these things bc shes somewhat old fashioned - but i also dont think she’d care enough to be upset by it. like she IS old fashioned in some ways but like ava of all ppl would probably agree that its not a big deal. regardless triss always wants to do smth together when she does remember lmao

who steals the duvet in their sleep?

TRISS AND SHES SO BAD ABT IT AS WELL. shes the MOST restless sleeper u will ever meet, absolutely throws herself all over ava during the night and if ava was as fuck-off-strong as she is, i have no doubt triss would succeed in pushing her out of their bed on multiple occasions

who keeps the other awake at night with their snoring?

neither, fortunately ! tho on the odd occasion when ava sleeps, she is sometimes woken up by triss sleeptalking during nightmares

who finds stray animals and begs the other to let them keep them?

honestly neither again, mostly bc triss is so busy and her apartment is too small for anything other than her bird. triss is definitely the type to pick out the ugliest/most feral stray animal she can find and gush abt how cute it is tho!

who usually makes dinner?

triss! she likes cooking even tho she’s not very good at it. she sometimes asks ava to help her in making recipes that ava likes or is more comfortable eating, bc of the whole sensory thing

who plays their music out loud?

triss again ! i have a hc that there is ALWAYS music playing at triss’s apartment, she always has her radio or her speakers playing smth bc she is uncomfy with silence, and also just bc she likes to dance around the house kfdjkdkf

who hogs the bathroom?

okay.........i HONESTLY think ava. idk why but i feel like ava takes rly good care of herself. whereas triss is a rat who will brush her hair and teeth and maybe put a moisurizer on if shes feeling it that day lol. ava at the VERY least spends a lot of time on her hair imo, washing it as well as making it look so damn Iconic

who gives the most compliments?

triss ! shes a very sweet bby and u cant rly get thru a convo with her without being complimented at least once lol

who usually starts/causes arguments between them?

definitely ava, tho i would argue - at least in the context of their relationship - that its actually a good thing, or at least a healthy thing. triss HATES conflict that involves voicing her own issues w something, and much prefers to just bury it down or pretend it doesnt exist. which isnt healthy at all ! so a lot of their arguments usually have to do with ava trying to get triss to have meaningful dialogue with her and not hold back so much.

who isn’t afraid to embarrass the other in public?

triss.................i feel so damn sorry for ava actually lmao

who gives the other cringe worthy pet names?

hmmmm, ava gives them unironically (like. triss’s cousin once overheard ava call triss “my love” or “my heart” once and NEVER lets triss forget it) but triss absolutely goes out of her way to come up w some truly creative ones.

who fusses over the other when they get sick?

ava !!!!! i feel like after 900 years she would be Extra worried abt that kind of stuff, and severely catastrophises abt how absurdly fragile/vulnerable she thinks humans are. like triss will get a cold and ava will still partially act like its 1183 or whatever and her gf is literally at deaths door lmao.

who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long

hm both ! ava tends to get frustrated a lot at everybody in general, but triss has an annoying way of cutting thru all of that lol. whereas on the other hand, like i said, triss just doesnt get angry, and even if she does she tends to just move past it as quickly as she can because she doesnt want to argue

who clings to the other for comfort when they’re sad or scared?

i think both, but in slightly different ways ! triss always wants comfort from ava, whether shes happy or sad or whatever lol, but i do rly love the idea of ava relying on triss a little more for emotional support once they have been in a relationship for a while, and once and ava feels safe w that kind of thing............like just letting her be vulnerable with someone whom she trusts, just for a little while....

who is more ‘physically passionate’? (hugs, kisses, or maybe more…)

again i would say both in different ways ! it rly depends on what the q means by passionate. like triss is very handsy and quite physical w her affection, and ava is more into the subtler stuff. but in saying that, when ava does get physical its WAY more intense and ‘passionate’ in that sense!

#long post #oc: triss #listen nobody @ me w that header dsjksdjkdskjdsk #anyway i love them so much. oh u thought i was over them? grow up xx #EDIT: i made this last night and im p sure the new update has made the format look weird as hell so. thats nice :)

Todomomo Childhood-friends-to-best-friends-to-roommates-to-FWB-to-lovers Quirkless AU [Part 1]

This is an AU I wrote on the todomomo discord server eons ago. Since it’s forever buried in the server now, this is a copy-paste from the chat.

Anything posted to this blog will be transcripts of old original work and not really edited, save for formatting. I have no guarantees if I will ever finish these AUs either so these will only be kept as an archive.

Originally posted: May 2018.

Part 1 (sfw) || Part 2 (nsfw) || Part 3 (nsfw)

Ok. Heres some garbage childhood-friends-to-best-friends-to-roomates-to-fwb-to-lovers quirkless AU that wont leave me alone for some few nights:

BASICALLY todo and momo knew each other since they were 5, coming from rich families as rich families do

(their moms were college friends or smth but then todo's mom got an arrange marriage w endeavor but idk lets just make enji's not as shitty of a father in this AU and doesnt abuse his family aghshcjfjsl)

BUT ANYWAY ye todo and momo grew up as childhood friends and their moms always arranged play dates for them

and momo's a super curious girl since day 1, and todo's his usual smol shy boy self

so during these playdates all the cute 5 year old shenangians happen like momo taking todo outside to explore her 20 acre backyard and them going on imaginary adventures, going through momo's mountain of books in their mansion's library, accidentally fall asleep together on the couch after a fun day n stuff

and todo slowly opens up from being shy but only to momo bc she's his first friend and a beautiful ray of sunshine and honestly who wouldnt love her

so with their families being so close they basically grow up together; todo and momo spending their summers together, always attending the same rich people balls and stuff that adults do but are boring for kids etc etc

they dont go to the same school so whenever todo visits momo she listens to him talk abt the weird stuff fuyumi and touya (dabi) get into bc theyre teenagers and honestly he doesnt understand

and at some point when theyre like 8 he talks abt how fuyumi is gushing over teenage shoujo romances and how kissing and all that lovey dovey stuff has gotta be weird and whats so special about it she wont shut up?

and momo listens intently but after todo's rant, momo, being curious as she is, is like "I wanna know what its like!!" "wat" "what its like to kiss someone!" "momo youre crazy" "No no seriously i wanna know! Can we try?" "WAT" "please :( kiss me :(" "..." "Pleaaaseeeee" "... ok fine one time"

he really cant say no to her

and so like, they have a little quick peck on the lips while theyre sitting outside in momo's garden on the swings

and a second later theyre like "..." "..." "... ew das weird lets not do that again" "yeah"

(Rmbr theyre 8)

so thats that until later.. 👀

when they reach middle school age momo moves with her family to america for a couple years bc of her dad's company

their moms still tried to let them telephone call or write letters to each other while apart

most of the letters exchanged were todo asking what momo's life was like in america, and momo rambling abt a new book or learning english or why on earth do american toilets suck (todo replies with a bunch of smug remarks and tells her to come home then)

momo checks up on todo to make sure hes making friends in middle school but ofc he tells her not to worry but really hes lonely orz

but then one day he gets a letter saying she'll be returning to Japan for high school n everything bc she and her mom are moving back but her dad is staying in the states. And she'll be attending the same high school as him!! 👀

and ya. That.. happens. LOL they meet each other on the first day at UA (prestigous school not for heroing) and theyre in the same class and they sit next to each other and wow this is too perfect

but also like, lets not forget, its been 3 years since theyve seen each other and well.

Puberty hit both of them like a train.

Welp. 👀

thankfully they havent lost their chemistry and (mostly) everything is the same.... but also different.

its like the aomine and momoi thing in knb; todo tells momo to call him "todoroki-san" instead of shouto and he goes back to (trying to) call her Yaoyorozu bc its gonna look weird to the rest of their class if theyre overly familiar w each other (especially with a wretched pervert sitting in front of momo)

but really they still call each other by name when theyre alone

(and also todo slips up calling her Momo a lot unconsciously still even tho it was him that suggested it in the first place)

and so, high school flies by with both of them being hyper aware of differences from when they were kids

shouto becomes more shoujo every passing year with fangirls and cherry blossom petals and everything and momo makes fun of him bc it was the exact thing he couldnt understand as a kid

they have a few moments of their own awkward suggestively shoujo moments too like in the home ec room on valentines day when momo tries to make chocolates but makes a mess out of the kitchen and todo passes by and helps clean up but they end up making a bigger mess and oops. Momo slipped onto the floor and todo tried to catch her but oops he slipped too and now theyre in a compromising position as aizawa walks in 😳

but does anything come out of it?... not really.

university applications come around the corner in their senior year and guess what. Their programs of choice are offered by the same university. And they both get accepted. Woohoooooo

and guess double what. Touya (dabi) suggests they rent a flat together bc why the hell not it kills two birds w one stone on their living situation (since dorms are offered to less.. wealthy.. students first or smth)

so they do. Theyre adults now. They've know each other for all their lives. Its good to have someone you trust nearby. It'll be fine, right? right?!?

WRONG.

neither of them expected to experience just how domestic they could be

ie. Momo walking into the kitchen in the morning to find todo, making breakfast, shirtless in just his pajama pants, hair still ruffled with bed head, offering her a cup of coffee

..... fuck since when did he get so hot. Wait what? Snap out of it Momo!! "three creams no sugar, here" "How did you know?" "Momo i've known you since we were 5. You like your coffee sickeningly pale that it shouldnt even be classified as coffee anymore" "..... thanks"

ie #2. Todo hearing momo calling him from the inside of the bathroom, while she's showering?!??!?!, like it was an emergency "momo what is it?" "Ummm i ran out of soap and forgot to bring a new one on the way in. Can you grab it for me?" "Wat?!" "Hand me the soap shouto. I bought a new one today, its in the kitchen. I left the door unlocked so just come in. Please!!" "... you trust me too much" he mumbles under his breath.

footnotes:

the ending of this is probably along the lines of oooo they realize some feelings happen and is it okay to fall in love with your best friend/childhood friend/roomate?!?!? and yes, the answer is yes

todo still does become friends w the deku squad while in UA

Theyve dated other people before the whole -to-lovers part (bc ya bet Imma throw in iidamomo or smth but it didnt work out) (gonna get reaaal awks when the fwb kick in)

somehow i'll throw in eri as dadzawa's daughter, some how

dabi knows

shouto doesnt even know what he knows, he just knows

Yet Another Zelda Roleswap (the masterpost)

✨what's this AU?

Check THIS POST I DID that started it all and also the AU’s tag

✨in this au, the previous legends about the triforce are the same, aka “zeldas are princesses links are heroes and ganon/ganondorf is always the same guy and the big bad”! BUT THIS TIME DESTINY DID AN OOPSIE and ganondorf forgot all about his previous lives while link is the one who remembers them all!!! zelda just wants to travel and read cool legends and didnt expect to be part of one

✨ZELDA STUFF

-trans girl, found the name zelda in very very very old royal records

-she's like 16 or something

-seventh heir to the throne who wants to prove herself, so she goes on an adventure to save the world!!!!

-adventurous and impulsive and naive

-main weapon is bows, she also knows magic and sheikah techniques

-has six siblings who dont really pay attention to her. shes probably the youngest

-her point of view is very black and white at first

-even when she gets in the middle of link and ganon’s story she still doesn’t believe she is The Zelda of legend

-how could she she’s just a zelda, one among many, just a kid playing at being a princess

-(she IS the zelda)

-she gets a bird AND a white horse!!!!

-if she sees a weird cave she WILL go into it

-would probably eat moss if dared

✨LINK STUFF

-genderfluid, uses he/they

-hes in his early twenties

-a man zelda meets during her travels, who seems to know a lot about old legends

-he can see koroks and fairies, who can’t be seen by most people

-gets all his past lives' memories after he gets the master sword, over a period of a day or two

-maybe link does remember his past deaths along with his past lives, but past deaths are maybe more muted…. less like he experienced them and more like someone told him about it. still fucks him up tho

-i feel like he’d be pretty nice and sleepy all the time, until you mention something that has to do with his memories (aka, ganondorf, but also like “oh ive heard some hero in the legends went back to being a kid to save the world or whatever) and he’d get this super serious, focused look… something like that, little things that would make zelda go :^?

-he just really wants to kill ganondorf ya dig

-SO MANY BOSS FORMS probably one per main title (kinda like xant’s battle in TP) (strongest/hardest to fight is majora’s mask link), and final form is definitely some twisted looking fierce deity

-as for his past selves he has all of their memories and its kind of… they’re not him, he’s him, they’re just memories that he has, but when he is very very stressed its “memories become actual personalities for a sec” time. 99% of the time its just him and then ganondorf is there and its like WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP IM TRYING TO MAKE A MURDER HERE

-he’s not controlled by malice or anything because it would feel like a deus ex machina to me

-in the end he doesnt die and he gets redemption because he didnt hurt anyone he just tried to kill ganondorf a few times hes good, and also zelda is his friend and an heir to the throne he’s got immunity. poor guy just needs help processing all those lives and needs a cabin in the woods with some fairies!!!

-re: his past lives, oot link SUPER HATES ganondorf while ww link is more sympathetic. links who havent fought ganondorf are ambivalent about him

-endgame ship is either with ganondorf OR beedle. beedle is the secret ending

-will eat moss

✨GANONDORF STUFF

-he's in his twenties i promise he just has resting old man face

-zelda’s old childhood friend

-doesn’t remember anything about his past lives

-gerudo king, very serious but fairly well loved

-lets not talk about malice it either doesnt exist/this ganondorf doesnt have any/this ganondorf knows how to control it. either way its not gonna affect the story

-”what are you wearing today king” “oh, just whatever” (its not whatever he spent hours finding the day’s outfit)

-found out about his past lives while reading a very very very old book, probably read it and stayed in his room for a week and then promised himself to never ever ever turn out like that

-genuinely a good person

-would never eat moss

✨RELATIONSHIPS STUFF

-zelda and ganondorf actually knew each other as kids! Both being royalty and all. legends do talk about a hero a princess a beast or whatever but don’t use link or ganondorf’s names since it’s been so long- it takes zelda and ganondorf both finding old, old books on their own to be like “AH OOPS”!!! Ganondorf learns about his past lives much earlier than zelda, who finds out during her adventures, and she goes from seeing ganondorf as a dear friend to being like “…but what if he’s really bad though”

they’re old childhood friends, you know, the kind that were best friends before and then grew up and saw each other less often (different kingdoms and all) so they kinda grew apart, and then zelda starting her quest made them reconnect again! Ganondorf is a little older than zelda so he always saw her more as his little sister who just jumps into mud because she totally saw a sword there i promise, and zelda sees ganondorf as her cool older brother who actually pays attention to her, unlike her actual siblings

-when link and zelda meet, zelda’s like “weird dude but probably harmless” and link is like “weird girl but probably harmless” and then she’s like “oh my name is zelda” and link goes “ah just likeWAIT” and he kinda observes her to… gauge her abilities? My Zeldas Were Better kinda thing. i guess during their final battle he’s like “you’re really a zelda, after all” and its bittersweet

the second zelda figures out link is also part of those legends she goes full hero worship mode, which makes link’s fall from grace… really… hard on her. ive been admiring you and wanting to be a hero like you all this time, turns out you’re not a hero and also Not Okay

-re ganondorf and link, after everything that happened uuuh

human brain: it probably takes them both a long while to get used to each other, given that one was almost killed by the other and the other has vivid memories of having their world(s) destroyed by the one, but after a while they probably bond over their shared uuuuh memories i guess. link visits gerudo city once in a while and they catch up and become friends and

lizard brain: after 100k words they DATE

no i wont write how it happens you will NOT make me embarrass myself in front of everyone because i earnestly wrote about how link visits ganondorf every time he’s in gerudo country and at first link just passes by to give ganondorf news about how zelda is faring as queen and news about the world, and as time goes and years go by they start talking about their lives and struggles and just taking walks across the desert together and having sand seal races and everyone in ganondorf’s court is like “so when’s that little voe coming back” and ganondorf is like “i neither know nor care that its been three months since his last visit” and everyone’s like (smirk) “okay” and when has he even started to look forward to link’s visits anyway how did this happen and then link comes back and smiles gently and shows ganondorf this cool rock he found that looks like ganondorf’s face and ganondorf is smitten

takes them both Y E A R S to realize their feelings and then date tho. slow burn or bust

✨WORLD STUFF

-takes place in a time where the games’ adventures are only known as legends where they didnt even write down ganondorf’s and link’s names

-now that im thinking about it it wouldnt happen like THOUSANDS OF YEARS after any game because then ganon and link wouldnt be that worried about their destiny??? so maybe like 100-200 years after a game??? and the ppl writing down the legends were just terrible bookkeepers who couldnt even think write down link and ganon’s name

-(smash voice) EVERYONE IS HERE!!!!!!!! tingle and agitha the bug princess and sidon and especially groose who is uuuuum zelda’s rival who is totally not in love with her

-i think in botw its implied koroks are only seen by people like link and zelda??? so id say only people with uuuuh magical power??? can see them???? so koroks are just doin their thing, playing pranks, helping people without them knowing, and, in the case of makar, playing romantic music around couples

1-15 micolash babey :)

cunt

1. Did you fall hard and fast for your f/o(s)? Or was it more gradual?

irl? i dont remember... he was a fave before i actually learned much about the game but i was definitely like oho... this one. in universe? slowly.. friends to almost lovers slowburn college au

2. What’s the scariest moment you have had together?

tfw you encounter your former best friend and crush in a nightmare after 10-20 years and you are currently chasing each other with deadly weapons and cosmic powers because he doesnt remember you...

and sometime in the unknown unending future, he forgets again

3. Do you want to get married? Have kids? What about your f/o(s)?

a family can be two crazy scholars, 100 adopted celestial larvae, and some bugs (considering the times i think they would consider marriage... but it aint happening)

4. What’s one of the more casual dates you and your f/o(s) have had?

mmm no proper dates... lots of staying up past midnight reading books and falling asleep on a makeshift bed in the old storage room theyve commandeered. later on, listening to music outside of mergo’s cradle

5. What’s your favorite physical attribute of your f/o(s)? What’s their favorite when it comes you?

his hands i think.... they’re nice to hold and he’s very expressive with them. and ummmmmmmmm my hair? bitch i dont know. pussy game immaculate or something

6. What’s your favorite thing about your f/o(s) personality-wise? Theirs when it comes to you?

he’s so genuinely interested in and excited about everything.. hearing him ramble about theories and the gods, its soothing and cute. and i am unknowable thank you

7. Do you share music tastes or not?

YEAH! poorly recorded gramophone classical music and nightmarish horror ambience from the void

8. Who’s the night owl and who is the early bird?

micolash doesnt sleep. he will go to bed at 7 am if at all. auguste stays up as a result and struggles to stay awake during lecture. in the nightmare zes fucking tired but theres no goddamn blankets in mergo’s loft. theyre improvising. micolash doesnt sleep, at all, ever, but will sit near hir and read if prompted

9. Are you morning cuddler or kissers?

well micolash cannot lay down without destroying his spinal cord, also hes averse to physical contact. but thats not gonna stop me! if they fell asleep together in their little study room before though, im pretty clingy so he’ll have to deal with it

10. Which of you can hold your liquor? Which of you can’t?

liquor: auguste holds it better than mico

blood: auguste can hold it very well as a result of the 5 hours? 10000000 hours of endless night? zes spent hunting and healing with it. dont think micos partaken in it much

11. Who is the better cook?

auguste by nature of being a ~woman~ in england in the 1880s

12. Who is better with musical instruments?

mmmm neither of them

13. Do you have pet names for each other? If so, what are they?

“my hunter”.....

14. Who is more protective?

auguste probably. its like having a child in a store and you let them out of your sight for one minute and theyve started a cult amongst the other children in the toy aisle and are now attempting to play irl operation on an employee

15. Who would level at whole city if the other got hurt (realistically or metaphorically)?

neither. micolash has literal brain worms and is doing his own thing. currently he would probably forget abt hir. auguste would cry a lot and go back to the hunt and die or turn into a sl*g. but ze might do that one anyway

Facts part 3 cus im tired but cant sleep??

Lily is left handed

Oliver had a friend, his only friend as a kid, named Sergio

Sergio may or may have not had a crush on Oliver

He was also the only one who knew Oliver's situation with why he dressed as a girl and actually thought he WAS a girl at first before he knew

Lily was Oliver's first and only love/relationship

Who he lost his v card to (and found he was a dom top)

Lily was only with 3 other guys before Oliver. The first he officially dated for about a year (lost is v card to him too) but it died out and they both understood/agreed, the second he prefers not to talk about (it was b a d/abusive), the third was more of a fling although the other guy genuinely liked him but understood when Lily denied him.

Hes still friends with the one he had a fling with (he was a knight >0) because he was a great dude who helped him

That friend is Valdis

Valdis is supportive of Lily's marriage when he found about it, cus f ya dude, Lily gets to be happy

Hes still a lil salty and sad about it though..

Lily is...a little spoon...and loves cuddles..but will never admit it to someone else

Hes also a bottom s ub all the wayyy

Hes also very vanilla in bed...receiving or giving

Lily is asexual so he doesn't crave doing it but like, doesn't mind it

Oliver is demisexual but tbh doesnt care much about doing it either so they hardly do and theyre both 100% cool asf about it

Jack is a boy and Pickle is a girl

Neither of them like drinking

Oliver actually has 2 familiars, a bird named Typhoon (name given by Lily, obv) and a dragon named Matt

His mother still lives

Oliver was in the closet for a long while because where he lives it was pretty homo p obic but he was one of those gays where just...everyone knew

Theyre both the emodiment of those memes where they buy the ugly shirt at a thrift shop that makes their eyes hurt simply for that fact

Alex gets a crush on Jairo and calls him "Cute farmer boy"

Jairo is oddly flattered but bluntly denies him

Lennally blames her being single and not being able to get a relationship on Alex

She just wants him to get married already and is this close to forging his signature to a marriage proposal

Alex somehow doesn't have kids??? How the f ck???

Oliver: I want kids.

Lily: Ollie, we're gay. We're dudes. How?

Oliver: *face palms*

*one day, Lily arrives home from supposedly trying to buy Oliver's items for the 3rd time (after bringing home a pet the 2 other times) and brings a kid he found in the street who tried to steal his money* HEY OLLIE! GUESS WHAT I GOT-

Lily is not allowed to go out and buy things on his own.

#facts #oliver #lily #oc #alexander #lennally #valdis #jairo #sorry im dumb #and that i do these

i was originally gonna post both my main characters at the same time but the second one is taking a while to write out and its getting rlly long so here just the first one :D @wolfstar-flatsky

my boy Silas :DDD Silas is the first character i made and the one i literally built my other characters, story, and world around lmao

so tell me your thoughts on Silas :3 i wanna make sure it all makes sense ya know?

Name: Silas (pronounced Sil-us) last names dont rlly exist but sometimes families will chose a bird as the family symbol, Silas’s family is a raven

Pronouns: Xe/Xem/Xir

Age: early 20s? like 20-23 ish?

Height: on the taller side, close to max height, xe took a couple of resize potions and got lucky

Weight: uh doesnt rlly exist lol

Birth date: born during bloom so xirs family said xe was “born with the flowers”

Eye color: green, they were a bright vibrant green but have since dulled to a flat dark green (xe rarely takes off xirs mask so you’ll never see it)

Scars/Handicaps: Physical-has a burn scar on xirs left hand, its on the back of the hand near the wrist and spreads down xirs arm; xe has a couple of other minor scars, one small curved one on xirs back, left side by xirs hip/side, another on xirs right thigh Mental-kinda watched xir family die in front of xem and blames xemself for that because xe believes xir could have done more to stop it and if xe only didnt listen the other researcher(havent named them yet but they’re the evil guy with the corrupted manta), bc of this xe also refuses to use mantas or go too close to them Emotional-bc of the whole, ya know, family dying thing, xe is scared to get close to people out of fear that theyll get hurt too but xe cant forget what xirs “mom” taught xem so xe still helps moths and people in need but keeps them at an arms distance and doesnt let them stay

Outfit: mainly wears spirit cosmetics to make travel easier; tinkering chimesmith hair, anubis mask, usually wears the troupe greeters rhythm pants with the phoenix cape but xirs other usual ones are fire prophet samurai pants and jelly whisperers cargo pants along with air prophet cape, peeping postman cape, dancing performer cape and sneezing geographer cape, depends on how xe feels and the situation, xe also always wears a copper leaf pendant on a necklace cause xirs younger sibling before she died and a satchel to carry xirs stuff in

This is Silas’s usual outfit, made with @sykloni really lovely sky picrew :3

Family: (none of them have names yet shush) “mama”-non binary they/them, mom-she/her, older brother-he/ze, younger sister-she/fae

Enemies: the researcher in Gaia; as well as Sah(male valley elder) for reasons neither of them like to discuss or think about

Greatest Fear: losing people like xe lost xirs family, scared of getting betrayed again or watching people die

Strongest character traits: deeply loyal, once xe makes a promise, xe would rather die than break it, quite literally ride or die with xem; xe also believes in being as kind as possible, xe refuses to be taken advantage of but xe will help those who need it and avoids being mean or rude for no reason

Weakest character traits: refuses to let people get close and is automatically distrustful of vets, absolutely refuses to travel with them unless absolutely necessary

Sense of humor: doesnt have one any more, when xe was younger xirs younger sister used to make terrible puns that xe’d laugh at and xirs mama would make terrible dad jokes, as he gets better xe starts to laugh again, at the little things Avim does and says

Philosophy of life (Include how it came to be): xirs mama taught him that xe must always help those in trouble and to be kind to moth and butterflies, they were so young and didnt know as much as xem

Favorite colors: red but it hurts to see it so when people ask xe lies and says green

Pastimes: just wandering the land, xe’s got no real goal, xe is just drawing maps to fill the time and visiting pretty areas, it never makes xem feel anything though so xe doesnt stay long

Tattoos: circling the side of xirs right rib cage of a crown of poppies and roses surrounding a raven, around xirs left ankle is an anklet of leaves with butterflies flying nearby or landed on the leaves

Important Possessions: just the copper leaf necklace because its one of the few things xe has left from xirs family that doesnt hurt as much to see plus xirs younger sister gave it to xem to remind xem they are the wind and the sun and Megabird will return them to xem one day no matter what happens and that in this life and the following ones, xirs family will always love xem

Masks?: xe pretends to not be affected by things when it really hurts or to not want/crave things when xe does, xe has a bad habit of denying xemself things out of fear or self hate, commonly sabotaging the happiness xe can achieve

Affection?: its hard for xem to do that anymore, very awkward but like, letting people get physically close and hug xem, hold xirs hand, letting someone sleep near xem is a hugeeeee thing due xirs nightmares and the trust that comes with sleeping by someone

How do they want to be seen by others?: if xe was given the chance, xe would hide away and never see anyone ever again, xe just wants to wait til the end and return to xirs family but xe would lose xirs mind waiting around like that so xe takes to wandering

How do they see themselves?: deeply broken and incapable of being helped, xe sees xemself as like a tree branch on the forest ground, picked up by those one hikes, useful for a short time but not the best, abandoned when finished or a better one comes along, separated from its tree and useless, helpless on the floor

How are they actually seen by others?: vet sky kids find xem odd/intimidating but they leave xem be, moths and butterflies occasionally finds xem scary but quickly get over it when they see the Anubis mask, equating that to Prophecy guide and feeling safe

Quick judgments or careful deliberation?: depends, often they take time to consider but sometimes its spur of the moment things that he does and later goes oh god now i got this moth with me welp

Reaction to praise?: at the being xe just brushes it off and doesnt believe Avim, none of xirs previous moths stuck around this long so when they said thanks xe was kinda like yeah sure and moves on, not rlly thinking about it, assuming its the same reflex as saying goodbye to someone, but later when xe and Avim get closer and he praises Silias, oh boy this poor guy has no idea how to respond, at first he denies it or ignores it but when Avim continues to praise xem or insists on the compliment when Silias denies it, xe will eventually begrudgingly accept it and later turn the compliment over in xirs head, trying to find a reason Avim would say that or looking for a hidden insult, as Silias grows to trust Avim more, xe starts to believe him

Reaction to criticism?: oh u poor sweet summer child, Silias will absolutely internalize that, xe wils either do xirs best to fix or if xe cant/wont xe will feel terribly guilty and hate xemself for it

Biggest secrets?: the corrupted manta and the death of xirs family

Last time they cried?: when xirs family died, xe cried for days before growing numb and apathetic to keep xemself safe

What will they stand up for?: pretty much anything, xe has the view of being okay with hated/getting hurt so if xe sees anything bad u fucking bet xe is intervening

What was your character like as a baby? As a child?: xe very a pretty average moth, got adopted quick by xirs family and was generally just very happy and into facts and experiments which is why xe went into research

What smells remind them of their childhood?: bro bro,,, xe cant visit sanct anymore, both for manta reasons and the smell of the flowers and the ocean and such there reminds xem too much of xirs family

How do they respond to a threat?: depends on the situation, if theres someone xe’s protected, xe will place xemself between the person and the threat or tell the person to get somewhere safe, if xe is alone, probably get ready for a fight/argument

Are they most likely to fight with their fists or their tongue?: again, depends, if xe can de-escalate it or talk it out, xe’ll do that but xe is also ready to fight

How do they perceive strangers?: xe tends to ignore them, unless they need help or something, xe just wants to quietly pass through

What is their favorite animal?: it was mantas but now its birds

Which animal do they dislike the most?: was crabs now mantas

Favorite food: cookies! warm freshly baked cookies is one of the few things that can make xem show emotion in the beginning

and thats basically everything! dear god this is long oh boy, i should finish with my second main character Avim soon so ye :D

#i love xem!!!#Silas is simply the best and i would die for xem #i will make xem go through hell first tho :3 #just give xem allllll the problems hehe #but its ok #xe will be alright in the end #Silas will be loved and safe :3

Could we get some headcanons/more background on Abbey and Doyle’s kids? 🥺👉👈 I love the premise of this AU

YEEEEE (im just gonna ramble a bunch about the backstory i have so far but ill put it in bullets so its easier to follow lol i apologize for it being long as fuck-)

OKAY SO,,, first of all,,, doyle and abbey timeline,,,, [i am looking respectfully]

in this au, they get back together and have a sort of ‘lovers pretending to be enemies’ chaotic on again/off again hookup thing off to the side just between the two of them thru like Most of the final season, they try to keep it a secret (especially doyle who doubts the saturdays would be hAPPY if he was seeing her again) but in the end, saturdays ofc find out, probably are unsure about it at first, but she gains enough of their trust to be there for the big finale battle in the weird world mansion.

when shit goes down and argost becomes the vessel for the two opposing kurs (regular kur, and the anti kur from zak monday) and they like. explode his matter or w/e, i imagine instead of kur just completely disappearing, the ‘anti kur’ gets shot back to its universe, while original kur gets forced into a new vessel in this universe... the closest of which happens to be the unborn child abbeys unknowingly carrying. basically, what if the two kurs just LOOKED like they evaporated but actually did what happens when you try to like tape two same sides of a magnets together and they YEETED-

So thats how we have Parker, their firstborn daughter! and this... also implies ‘Parker Monday’ exists which. 8^) i havent thought about yet so forgive me on that but hoo,

they dont know parker is kur, they got no idea and rly just assume kur is gone for good. but after they find out abbeys pregnant (which is a huge emotional trip for both of them in its own right) they do eventually sort of agree they dont want their kid exposed to that whole world of mystery. like, ik its a vital thing to the whole family, and ik these two people were probably voted least likely to ‘settle down’ in high school, but i cant imagine they didnt escape the kur/zak situation without a LOT of trauma, so while the saturdays stay in the cryptozoology field, doyle and abbey slowly pull away from the mystery and mercenary stuff, and also instead of going for big dollar lifestyle settle with ‘independently wealthy’ parenting.

also, neither of them really . grasp the concept that theyve even started a family, and are ‘together’, and that this is REAL, until around when she gets pregnant with their second daughter, Kendall. and then theyre like. oh nooo wait are we actually like boyfriend and girlfriend EWW-

when kendall is born parker is 3, and the next like 10+ years are pretty smooth sailing. as far as what the kids know/see, they probably know the cryptids when theyre little but. (tw animal death sORRY TO BE DARK I JUST??????) idk,, how long komodo dragons live/how old komodo already is and i definitely dont know Anything about giant prehistoric birds and am not even sure if science knows that lifespan, so. im not sure how long they could really be in each others lives??? i almost imagine parker would have memories of them that she assumes she remembers wrong, like “oh yeah they used to have a lizard and a bird... my imaginative little kid brain thought they were a komodo dragon and a dinosaur”, and as for fisk im still working on it but i . actually kind of imagine he might have a much longer lifespan (since lemurians are like ancient or w/e? and also if hes by dna like a gorilla cat or w/e gorillas at least live long af) and also feel like once he got older and settled down a bit he might live somewhere in the woods, maybe even his old tree? and the saturdays see him ALL the time obviously, but hey zaks gotta go to college eventually, a gorilla cats gotta eat bugs in forest, we all have to grow up and leave the nest sometime,

so idk the last time parker has actually seen fisk and she might assume he was an imaginary friend or smth but, 1. if i do write a fic they absolutely have to meet again, 2. overall the vibe is they know the saturdays are cryptozoologists, like, the same way josh gates does destination truth, seeking answers and studying, they dont really. know that theyre REAL. to them its like, a hypothetical science. (this is also part of why they dont realize parker is kur, she isnt around cryptids and therefore whenever her powers would actually show up they wouldnt be recognized) anyways parker isnt embarrassed or put off by it but just thinks its a little wacky, meanwhile kendall is obsessed with the world of mystery/paranormal/cryptic lol

speaking of the girls personalities;;;

parker is like. not really normie/preppy, even if she seems it at first glance, shes nice and has a good head on her shoulders but also is a teenage girl (inherently unhinged) and shes THEIR teenage girl (+5 feral) so despite her success and charm shes also very witty/crass when she wants to be, and deep down shes closer to the kind of person that would on pure inexplicable instinct put something random in your mouth when you’re yawning so you bite down on it afterwards. or like. that video of the girl singing in the bathroom while her friends curl their hair and she grabs the curler to use as a microphone before realizing its burning hot??? shes. the voice of reason, but the voice is usually shrieking in fear, making a cursed joke, or half the time whatever shes saying is actually smart. she kinda wants to go to college and travel, but struggles with indecisiveness and anxiety, so she has no idea where to go, what to major in, etc. and is again kinda just livin thru the typical teen life in that regard

kendall on the other hand is like. weird kid culture, the kind of kid that believes they are secretly a new supernatural creature each year (mermaid phase, werewolf phase, alien phase, etc), probably completely accidentally starts cults or witch covens at school (didnt realize teaching peers how to become ‘blood brothers’ and ‘make potions’ from puddles and stolen school supplies would be taken so seriously by parents) , very into emo/scene/punk/alt culture but not rly in an overtly dark/edgy way, more of a having fun and expressing self way. she wants answers for everything, really loves mysteries and being open minded, and definitely a rebel/adventurer at heart, even if she gets naive or in over her head sometimes.

the girls get along well! parker is not dismissive of kendall she just. isnt really into the same stuff/is more freaked out by it most of the time, but she would tag along on certain adventures, especially if it was to keep her safe. and kendall definitely directs gentle mockery towards parker a lot but does see her as a good role model and guiding figure, their bond is really strong!

other details !

doyle and abbey prob decide to say fuck it and get married after kendall is born, they probably have a few rough patches but nothing is more important to them than the kids now and in the end they understand each other better than anyone else so . canon tension idk her! family ftw! power couple! they intimidate the teacher during parent teacher conferences together hand in shady little hand !

their parenting style is exactly what one would imagine, 70% fun and sass and controlled chaos where theyre the bigger children than their children, 15% ‘this is how you hack the government and dual wield swords-- i was not supposed to teach you that im sorry’, and 15% actual guidance / emotional depth / etc. flaws might be overcoming their own immaturity for the first few years, and then being lowkey overly protective (while claiming they arent, but just bc you semi jokingly tell parker she should join the football team doesnt mean you dont actually hide 60% of ur life from her and check that her bedroom windows are locked every night and have 24 people listed in her school emergency contacts and used to cut up her food till she was 7 and-)

so abouT THE BABY BOY (Phoenix), 1. his middle name is leonidas bc im gay and i love emotional turmoil babes , 2. fully unironically the idea behind such a late pregnancy is abbey would be mid fourties when hes born right. so like. [has two kids] ‘ok birth control time’ [when theyre teens many years later] ‘ok im old enough to stop taking this’ [the hyperfertility curse that plagues many women rears its ugly head with one last hoo-rah]

and finALLY a very quick elevator pitch of what id write an actual fic to focus on;;; kendall sneaks into the attic to look for old shit bc they BOTH know their parents have been hiding stuff over the years, she finds things like a cryptopedia (now offline), the claw, maybe even a piece of the kur stone, and ropes parker into the long haul of figuring out what all this stuff is. and ofc the second they ever find the naga relic and parker comes face to face with it, [rest in rip] time for mom and dad to find out and all this kur shit to start ALL over again-

Do u have a post somewhere abt your ocs? Who are they what do they do!

HOO BOY sorry this took me so long to get to i havent had a lot of spoons

my ocs are all a part of my original story which i still… need to title lmao. or at least, my main 3 ocs are! valére, cosette, and theodore. i have a 4th in the making named apollo but i don’t have a lot down for him yet. and a 5th one will be revealed in the future

i can try to give a description of their original canon (it’s basically like a supernatural/horror/comedy) and then talk about each of Them specifically. i actually have a pinterest board i started making for the story the other night. and the 3 of them have their own individual boards too.

first thing’s first: the setting of the story is primarily in france.

basically in the world there’s a handful of individuals who are very, very sensitive to the supernatural. you can think something like mediums/psychics, but their sensitivity is far beyond those. it starts when they’re a child, seeing supernatural things such as ghosts/spirits etc on a regular basis. each person has different reactions to it of course, but many get so used to it that they don’t realize how Not Normal it really is.

there’s also these supernatural beings i’ve been calling ‘messengers’ for now until i come up with something better. they’re neither good nor evil, necessarily, but they’re generally tasked with fighting off monsters and at times, keeping a close eye on that handful of humans because, obviously, these humans would attract anything supernatural like a moth to a flame. it can put them in a lot of danger. but their main job is to fight off malevolent creatures from the world. the messengers tend to travel between the mortal world and others frequently, and often take the shape of animals or even people. with animals, most try to pick an animal that would easily blend in. so basically birds, cats, dogs, etc. some have one animal they stick with, others change depending on where they’re going.

a lot of the monsters can’t be seen by normal humans, but normal humans can still certainly be affected by them. the monsters that these messengers have to fight off range from imps to goblins right up to thinks that border on eldritch abominations. think a lot like, monsters you’d see in bloodborne or dark souls or w/e.

also messengers can be considered “symbiotic” while demons are “parasitic”. but that’s a whole other worldbuilding post for another time.

BUT ANYWAY ONTO THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES please be prepared for a shitton of Words and rambling

ok starting with valére. here’s his pinterest board

and here’s a drawing of him a friend of mine did a while back

so valére is kinda like the Main Protag of the story. he’s the one that’s most fleshed out currently. he’s a 39 year old dude of french peruvian descent that was born in marseilles, france. his father’s side of the family were peruvian immigrants and have been in france for a few generations. his mother is french/polish, so val is mixed, but takes a lot more after his father’s side.

he’s a 6′5″ brick wall of muscle and appears intimidating at first, the scars don’t help, but he’s a giant teddybear. he’s very friendly, smiles a lot, laughs a lot, but can be a little odd with his behavior and people can think he’s a little weird because of it.

he grew up in marseilles and had a pretty cozy life. his parents weren’t Rich but were definitely upper class, so they never struggled much. the visions of spirits and whatnot were always present thru his childhood and he never thought much of them, they were just a normal occurrence in his mind. so it was easy for him to ignore them and vice versa, and it was hard for anything malevolent to feed off of him.

he did have some trouble making friends growing up though, mostly because a lot of other kids thought he was a weirdo and he sort of was but without meaning to be. just, when you grow up constantly surrounded by spirits and shit, then it’ gonna kinda shape you in a way. but he’s always been open and kind to others, and hates conflict and will do what he can to avoid it or break it up.

and he was the kind of kid that got hurt a LOT cus he had – and still has – the tendency to be rather reckless. his pain tolerance has always been crazy high. like, by the time he was 6 he had already broken an arm and a leg. he broke his leg on the playground but got back up and tried to play again as if nothing happened and his parents were like WHAT the fuck.

but anyway when he was like 9 he was walking back home from school and he found this giantass pure black owl injured in the gutter and he was like ??? because it was the middle of the city, what’s this fuckin owl doing out here, and why is it hurt? basically it’s hurt really really bad and it could very well die but he hauls this giant bleeding bird up in his arms and it doesnt even try to attack him and he carries it back home and spends hours that day taking care of it with the help of his mom and manages to keep it from dying. then the next few days he takes care of it and feeds it and after they finally released it valére swore for years it thanked him and said it would repay him some day

after that the spooky shit kinda got more intense but he never really thought much of it and just carried on and it seemed like he was the only one that could see any of it anyway. but otherwise things were relatively calm for a while

when he was 20 he was visiting some cousins out in paris. he was leaving a bar at like 3am and he was followed out by some guys. and at this point valére is already a huge dude so basically it takes 4 of these guys to properly get him down and then another slit his mouth which left him with nasty scars. there wasn’t much of a reason for it outside they were assholes and also took all of his money he had on him at the time. right after they left tho, even tho he was bleeding everywhere he got up and basically started walking toward the nearest hospital but not even halfway there someone spotted him and stopped him and called an ambulance LOL but even after that whole ordeal it really didnt put a damper on his overall positive attitude

things were quiet again for a bit but he started finding feathers around his apartment every so often and he’s like ???????

when he’s 22 things go to shit fast and he’s involved in a nasty traffic accident where a truck crashed head-on into his car, and it lands him in the hospital with gashes all over his body, spine broken in multiple places and many other broken bones, and his chance of living was very slim. if he did live, he’d be paralyzed and in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. turns out that owl he saved like 13 years before was this sort of like… spiritual/paranormal agent thing carrying out a mission disguised in that form and it got attacked by a malevolent being the day valére found it. and true to its word it repays him by basically saving his life by transferring its power/essence into him. and of course the doctors and his family things its a miracle etc etc ANYWAy

what mr owl failed to mention was that now that valére had these powers he’s pretty much kinda thrown into The Job as a messenger himself and basically has a duty of hunting down and killing the big scary evil monster demon stupid assholes so hes like cool i guess

he’s just all in all a pretty friendly well-meaning guy even if he looks kind of imposing with his scars and being a 6’5” brick wall of muscle (hes got some squish around his belly tho). and he says weird shit still sometimes and he laughs a lot. and it’s rare to catch him in a bad mood and he tends to avoid people if he is in one. he is very emotional tho and cries really easy. but even tho hes super friendly and welcoming he doesnt get close to people due to the danger of his job and he doesnt wanna wrap anyone else up in it, but even when hes asked why he dodges the question. but after now 17 years of doing that kinda work hes kind of really traumatized from everything hes seen (and also the accident and almost Dying in the hospital) but he hides it very well.

he’s the Dad Friend™

his abilities are: he’s capable of sprouting four black owl wings for flight, invisibility (but he can do selective invisibility, meaning he can make a certain person/people able to see him if he wants), he’s got cool swords he can summon at will that has a lot of powers of its own, and he can also do spatial/time manipulation but it takes a pretty big toll on his body so its kind of only for desperate measures. he can manipulate/control fire. also he can teleport i guess. but if he uses too much of his powers at once he can lose control and basically turn into a freaky monster (i keep imagining the glasgow smile scars tearing open and his teeth r sharp and theres like this black sludge coming out of his mouth… woo) and go on a rampage and then later will be back to normal but it has only happened once when he was still getting used to it and he swears Never Again (lol)

he likes bandannas (he has like 58967659 different ones and is always wearing one around his neck) and sweaters (like the bandanas he has like 58967659) and cream puffs (any pastry really but those r his favs) and cats and small dogs and classic literature and sappy romance movies. also hes gay and works at a flower shop during his free time

ONTO THE NEXT: cosette! her pinterest board is here

i don’t have a good reference pic of her yet… besides this thing i did a few weeks back

along with a big wip i’ll post eventually.

but yeah so she’s a 19 year old girl of romani descent, but she’s been kind of separated from the culture for a long time, since her parents died when she was young and she was put into foster care before finally being fully adopted by 11.

she’s got a lot of attitude and likes to cause trouble, because her adoptive parents are kind of strict and it caused her to have a very rebellious streak. at one point she uses their money to buy a motorcycle lmao so that’s her main mode of transportation and it’s sick as fuck. the helmet she wears while riding it has lil cat ears on it.

but she is well-meaning despite the rebelliousness and sharp tongue. she likes to crack jokes and tease the people she cares about, but will go to the ends of the earth for them.

she hasn’t had her powers as long as valére has, obviously. val has had his ever since she was still just a baby. she got her powers when she was 17, so she’s still getting used to them. she saved a cat from being attacked by stray dogs and surprise! the cat is just like the owl that val saved once. and one day when cosette gets hit by a car, the messenger offers her some of its life force. and now it sticks around with her as a cat and she calls her gigi even tho that’s not her real name

basically considering how gigi takes the form of a cat, some of cosette’s abilities are based off that, not unlike how since the messenger that val saved and vice versa was an owl so he has the power of flight and whatnot, she’s incredibly resilient, has heightened reflexes, can do Sick Parkour, always lands on her feet, and she has lil fangs that grow when she uses her powers and her eyes do Cat Things too. and her nails can turn into claws lmao. she also has powers similar to val’s like the invisibility, spatial/time manipulation, etc, but considering she’s still kinda new to it all she’s not As Powerful as val can be yet

but she meets val literally just bc they pass each other on the street one day, she senses val is The Same, and follows him back to his place DSBFHDBDFHFGF and decides she’s going to stay there and val is just like ???????? ok cool

she’s a huge lesbian btw

theodore is the next oc (pin board here) and the one whose fc is louis garrel. here:

he’s 34. the youngest of 5 kids. his siblings were extremely mean to him throughout his childhood lmao cus they thought he was a freak. like for the first 5 years of his life he legit never spoke and was petrified by the visions of spirits and stuff he’d see. his parents didn’t know what was going on, they’d take him to a therapist and of course the therapist had no clue

so he grew up as kind of a cold and distant guy. hes very well meaning deep down but he just didnt have a happy childhood. the one relative he has a good, loving relationship with is his father. he excelled in school and was popular at first bc hes Handsome but considering his disposition it was hard to get close to him at all

and the case with him and his messenger is strange because. until he gains his powers he and the messenger had never met before whatsoever. the messenger is named vadim and takes the form of a giant black wolf. im still working out Why vadim even bothered saving him but basically, theo gets shot by his eldest brother and left to die. vadim drags theo off somewhere secluded, saves him, etc.

except vadim isn’t exactly a messenger but also isn’t a demon either. he Used to be a messenger. soemthing happened that made him Not so he kind of toes the line between them. messengers are kinda like angels in a way but on a much lower tier i guess. demons are just… demons

and this is where the symbiotic/parasitic thing comes in

bc messengers are very serious about repaying debts. it’s why val and cosette survived at all, because they had saved the lives of messengers before so said messengers saved them. and, for example, gigi pretty much lives with cosette now and cosette offers her protection and vice versa. it’s mutually beneficialmeanwhile like

if youre possessed by a demon you dont really get much out of it yourself. you’re pretty much just. a host to a parasite

and vadim is like… he isnt possessing theo but hes still feeding off of his energy despite saving him and giving him power. i havent really decided a lot on theo’s power but. he’s really strong. which is one reason vadim bothered saving him. bc he could see the fuckton of untapped potential

and a lot of it is due to his bottled up anger and hurt and whatever

also he and val kiss

the 4th i’m working on is named apollo and his pin board is here

he’s Sort Of an antagonist but not exactly im still working on his info but he looks like this

he’s a successful businessman but unlike the other characters he Actually Died before he was saved except. he was brought back by a demon that posed as a messenger. and basically bc it was kinda like a deal with a devil sort of thing. now he has to do whatever it wants and is lowkey possessed but also is kind of getting a kick out of bad shit but also not? he’s full of a ton of Conflict. but also the demons messenger counterpart comes into play at some point to help save apollo it’s good

the demon is a white snake and the messenger is a black one

no step on snek

Various Honoka HCS

Cause Im self indulgent 😌

⁃ So when Noka was a baby, neither her dad, Shirou or Daiki knew what the hell to do with her wings.

⁃ Her first word was "Daiai" which was exposed to be "Daiki"

⁃ Daiki would call Noka "baby bird" and mo one will tell me otherwise

⁃ He also called Shirou "buddy"

⁃ She would fly around and their dad would make Shirou chase her down. Cause by this point, Daiki had already “joined” AfO.

⁃ When Shirou and Noka were taken in by their uncle, he just slept and let her do whatever.

⁃ Their uncle, also known as Eraserhead, was a very kind guardian

⁃ He went to each of Shirou's ballet concerts, and did Noka's hair for picture day

⁃ If you looked through his search history it would be filled with "how to do a braid for beginners"

⁃ Aizawa bought Noka various art supplies and bought Shirou new shoes whenever they needed them

⁃ He also worried for his nephew, who went missing right before Noka and Shirou ended up in his custody

⁃ Didnt want Noka or Shirou to become heroes

⁃ Cause he didnt want to see the two children he practically raised to be hurt

⁃ But because of their ties to All for One, the government forced both of them to become heros to "prove" that they had severed their bonds with All for One

⁃ Shirou's dream was to become a professional dancer and Noka's was to become a professional artist

⁃ And Aizawa was not happy that the two lights in his life were torn from their dreams

⁃ And so Shirou got accepted into the hero program, in class 1-A

⁃ He chose the hero name Shifter

⁃ Cause he could shift into any organic form

⁃ When he got 3rd place at the sports festival, Noka ran around her uncle's apartment screaming with joy

⁃ Noka is literally his biggest fan

⁃ Noka's first friend was a small purple haired boy name Hitoshi Shinsou

⁃ So naturally, she called him Toshi

⁃ And she refused to call him anything else all throughout middle and high school

⁃ Shinsou and Noka have sleepovers all the time and you can't tell me otherwise

⁃ When people would tell Shinsou that his quirk was villainous, Noka would always speak up cause she knew Shinsou wouldnt contradict them

⁃ Noka is always like that

⁃ Speaking up for others and herself. And her smart mouth tends to get her in trouble

⁃ Shinsou would fuss over Noka's wings. Like if they were dirty or a few feathers were out of place, Shinsou would sit her down and fix her wings.

⁃ "Toshi, your inner mom is showing"

⁃ "Its not my fault you cant take proper care of your wings"

⁃ When she told Shinsou about her acceptance into U.A's med course, he couldn't have been prouder

⁃ Noka is actually the one who encouraged Shinsou to train with her uncle.

⁃ But before that lets talk about Noka's time at U.A. so far

⁃ She was first introduced to class 1-A during the first combat training

⁃ Healed everyone who got very minor injuries

⁃ At the USJ attack, Shigiraki deteriorated part of Noka's hip. But her extremely enhanced natural healing abilities stopped the deterioration

⁃ So she has this big ass scar on the back side of her left hip

⁃ She wanted to absolutely murder Shigiraki for letting the Nomu loose on her uncle

⁃ But she doesnt have any damaging fire power

⁃ So she just tried to heal her uncle's wounds the best she could

⁃ Nearly gets herself killed many times with her smart assery

⁃ And gives everyone around her a heart attack in the process

⁃ During the sports festival, she helped RG heal all the students

⁃ Reprimanded Deku for overusing OfA

⁃ Oh yeah, she learned about AfO and OfA from her time with All for One (A/N: please dont kill me im trying to not make her too op 😭😭)

⁃ Is kind of like to Deku like Recovery Girl is to All Might

⁃ So fast foward to the internships

⁃ She interns with another oc of mine, Snow

⁃ Who is a healer but with incredible attack powers

⁃ Coincidentally, Noka was patrolling Hosu when the nomus hit

⁃ She recieved Deku's distress signal and ran to the scene

⁃ She didnt attack the hero killer, but ran to help Native and made sure he didnt bleed out

⁃ The hero killer didnt bat a single eye at her, deeming her not a threat

⁃ In the end, she didnt harm Stain so her hero guardian? didnt have to take any blame for her actions

⁃ Noka however did get nearly ripped in half by a nomu, so she had to stay in the hospital with Todo and Deku

⁃ So— Summer training arc

⁃ She just looked at her class and said "fuck this" and flew over the whole forest

⁃ She actually beat the wild wild pussycats back to the camp

⁃ She got to know Kota, telling him how she never wanted to become a hero

⁃ Kota may or may not have developed a kiddie crush on her 😳

⁃ But anyways, when everyone else saw her all nice and refreshed, needless to say they were upset

⁃ Some more than others

⁃ *remembers Bakugou nearly blowing off Noka's face because she cheated*

⁃ Aizawa just smirking at his niece cause shes so much like her mother

⁃ "DAMMIT TAKAHASHI. YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE YOU CHEATER"

⁃ "They said to use our quirks. Its not my fault your quirk is too grounded"

⁃ "WHAT— YOU WANNA FIGHT—"

⁃ "No I wanna eat, goodbye—"

⁃ Focuses on her attack and the healing capabilities of her quirk

⁃ Let me set the scene

⁃ At the beginning of UA, our Noka could barely heal up a small cut

⁃ But now, she can close up major wound with little to no effort

⁃ P r o g r e s s people

⁃ N e ways

⁃ So when they do the haunted quirk thingy

⁃ Hairi and Noka are paired up, to their delight

⁃ But they aren't able to go into the forest before the attack happens

⁃ Apparently, the league came for Bakugou and Noka

⁃ Cause the "master" wanted his first nomu to return to him

⁃ But all Deku knew was "they are after Kacchan and the master's first Nomu"

⁃ Nobody knew who the first nomu was except for Noka

⁃ See, AfO took and gave Noka various quirks, eventually ending up with her current quirk(s)

⁃ He did this to Shirou and Daiki as well

⁃ But Shirou's body wasnt able to handle as many quirks, so AfO discarded him

⁃ Daiki was not aware that Noka was a target, Shigiraki knew he would object and purposely left him out of the loop

⁃ Eventually, Noka is cornered by Dabi

⁃ His fire power vastly out matches hers

⁃ But she puts up one hell of a fight

⁃ And Kurogiri took her before she woke up and fought back even more

⁃ So everyone was panicking when they couldnt find Noka

⁃ Aizawa was panicking them most

⁃ His precious niece was missing, no, taken by the league

⁃ The students had never seen their teacher so frazzled

⁃ The thing that broke Aizawa more was the look on Shirou's face when he told him that his baby sister was missing

⁃ His precious baby sister

⁃ His whole world

⁃ Shirou didnt go out of his room for days

⁃ He was there when they were to save Bakugou and Noka

⁃ All Might fought AfO, and won

⁃ But there was no sign of Noka

⁃ Shirou nearly tackled Bakugou, demanding, no, more like pleading for him to tell him where she was

⁃ Bakugou merely said "She's gone, and I dont know where she went"

⁃ The whole class was in a panic

⁃ Where was Noka? Was she hurt? Was she scared? Was she in danger?

⁃ And the question that hung on everyone's mind the most was

⁃ Is she alive?

⁃ The emptiness of Noka's desk was deafening

⁃ Their smart ass classmate was nowhere to be found

⁃ And they all felt guilty

⁃ But none more than Bakugou

⁃ For he was the last to see her alive so to speak

⁃ And her last words to him were "Forget about me ya big oaf, you hear me? I don't want you sulking, or I'll personally beat your ass."

⁃ Forget about her? How could he do that?

⁃ Noka was the only person who didn't put up with his bullshit

⁃ From day one she put him in his place

⁃ And honestly shes the closest thing to a sister he has

⁃ During the hero license exam, all of class 1-A decided that Noka would be really upset if they all sulked and failed their exams

⁃ But the fact that only Todoroki and Bakugou failed would make her fall into hysterics

⁃ When class 1-A met the big three, Mirio told them that Noka was strong and stubborn to a fault, so they shouldnt worry about things that arent in their control

⁃ To which they asked how he knew her

⁃ Apparently Shirou, Amajiki, and Mirio have all been friends since elementary school

⁃ So Amajiki and Mirio had been there a lot for many crucial parts of Noka's childhood

⁃ When the work studies started, Deku went on patrol with Mirio and Shirou, AKA Lemillion and Shifter

⁃ Shirou couldnt help but feel so much guilt crushing him when Eri jumped out of Deku's arms

⁃ Cause Eri reminded him of his little sister

⁃ Speaking of little sister

⁃ She refused to return to the league, so Shigiraki sold her to giran, who then took her to Overhaul

⁃ For the last 2 months, Noka had been experimented on by Kai Chisaki

⁃ In the mean time trying to protect Eri and building a loving friendship with the young girl

⁃ Ill talk about this another time

⁃ So skipping to when they save her

⁃ It was a total shock for them

⁃ To see this wingless, pale, frail, bandage wrapped girl

⁃ And even more so when she spoke

⁃ Not having that bite that their Noka had

⁃ But a softer, more broken voice replaced her normally boisterous and confident voice

⁃ In the big battle agains Chisaki, Noka got slammed against a wall

⁃ Which in normal circumstances would be fine, but with her body in such a week state it immediately cracked her ribs and spine

⁃ Ochako helped get her friend to the ambulance as quick as she could

⁃ Shirou saw a fluff of pale pink hair out of the corner of his eye

�� He immediately turned to run towards the medical stretcher, but was stopped

⁃ He kicked and screamed something along the lines of "THATS MY BABY SISTER. PLEASE LET ME SEE HER"

⁃ In the most broken voice you would ever hear

⁃ In the hospital, after Sir. Nighteye had passed, Deku, Kirishima, Amajiki, Shirou, Ochako, Tsu and Aizawa were all waiting anxiously for Noka's surgery

⁃ When all of a sudden the door explodes open and the nurses and doctors are shoved out by an invisible force of heat

⁃ Noka was using her ability to set herself aflame and be healed in the ashes

⁃ But no one knew wtf was going on cause she learned the trick at the Hassaiki hideout

⁃ So p a n i k

⁃ But after the doctors confirmed her stablility, they all went back to school

⁃ The whole class bursted into tears when they told them about Noka

⁃ Jirou, Kaminari, Momo and Mina all being the most emotionally impacted

⁃ Bakugou was almost crying witb relief but he disnt show jt

⁃ They weren't allowed to see Noka for a whole month

⁃ Only family were allowed

⁃ She was hard at work recovering and going through therapy and they didnt want to disturb her

⁃ But when they (Kirishima, Deku, Ochako, and Tsu) did visit, they were shocked

⁃ There was this soft spoken, trembling, woman, and this was after a month of intense therapy

⁃ They hadnt event started physcial therapy yet, they wanted to get her tk the point she could be around others without going into a panic mode

⁃ But what really shocked them was how her wings hadnt grown back.

⁃ They were then told that they would never grow back, since the bone in them were completely ripped out.

⁃ Thus she needs a wheelchair while she recovers

⁃ Daiki sometimes visits her during the night

⁃ He apologizes to her over and over again for not being there when she was taken

⁃ But also to apologize for abandoning her and Shirou

⁃ She just cupped his wet cheek and said

⁃ "Daiki, I know you had a damn good reason to do what you did. Also you're my big brother. I dont care if you work for All for One, youre still my brother. And you'll always have a home with us. Shouta Shirou and I will welcome you back with open arms."

⁃ Needless to say Daiki just bursted into more tears

⁃ Anyways—

⁃ By the time the school festival comes around, Noka still needs a wheelchair, and isnt the strongest mentally, but she has made tremendous progress.

⁃ After the 1-A concert, Eri sat on Noka's lap the whole time. Except during the beauty pageant, in which Deku held Eri, and Mirio held Noka (cause shes a smol baby)

⁃ Noka was in charge of tesching Eri the basics while she recovered, since the young girl felt most comfortable with her

⁃ When the dual training session came around, Noka still couldnt do much moving around without draining her energy quickly. So she stuck with enhancing her quirk while she built up her physical strength.

⁃ Meaning she healed any and all injuries after the matches were concluded

⁃ Monoma made the mistake of saying something about her not making any progress, and Bakugou was t h i s close to murdering him 😌

⁃ Ever since Noka got back from the hospital, Bakugou has been v e r y protective of his honourary sister—

⁃ But Kendou smacked the blonde before Bakugou could do anything

⁃ Shinsou would totally go like "Noka are you okay? Are you sure you should be out here? How are you feeling? Do you feel sick?"

⁃ Cause Shinsou is a mom

Anyways I have a bunch more hcs but i dont wanna completely bore you. But I was thinking of doing this for Daiki Shirou and Noka as children. Or maybe for Phoebe 😳😳😳　

Comment or send an ask if i should

Session 24

Capridi wakes up and looks around "How are we not out of this corn hell yet?"

Pepper rubs her eyes. "I didn't think you could get seasick watching grass go by."

Edith Runekill gets out of the car, stretching her legs. She's wearing one of her plainer dresses, and no make-up. But she's still wearing her wizard hat.

Edith Runekill: "You get used to it."

Capridi: "I don't want to"

Grim unfolds from the car and gets out to stretch. She eyes the infinite plains.

Pepper: "Please don't leave us in the corn."

Edith Runekill peers up at the farm house, anxiously.

Sydney Gaydos: "Certainly not one of the most, ah, colorful pieces of scenery we've had to drive past."

Edith Runekill starts trudging towards the door, when suddenly a dog starts barking excitedly.

Pepper suddenly feels conspicuous in her robin's egg blue vest. She magics the color down to what could be described as "dishwater".

Malkas Steele: Still in the car.

In this session, we get acquainted with the Runekills.

The set-up: We're at the Runekill farmstead at last! This is a longer update than some of the others, so bear with it. It's worth it.

The Game: After days of driving through field after field of corn, we've made it to Edith's childhood home. Everyone is sick of the car and desperate to stretch their legs except Mal who's sick and desperate for more understandable reasons.

The group is then greeted warmly by... the family dog.

Nora R.: A farm dog of indeterminate breed and generous disposition comes bounding up to the party. It hops onto Edith and starts licking her face.

Capridi doesnt like dogs

Capridi stays in the car with pepper

Edith Runekill: "Oh! Hey, Leif!" Edith starts smiling for the first time in days. She scratches the dog behind its ear. "Who's a good boy?"

Grim looks around at the dog. finally something she can relate to.

Nora R.: The dog sniffs at the rest of the group curiously, but he comes to realize that they are shaped and smell like Friends.

Sydney Gaydos won't be one of the ones left in the car! Plus there's a DOG. She gets out to follow behind Edith and TO SEE THE DOG WITH A HUGE GRIN.

Grim sets a cigarette in her mouth, then crouches to say hi to Dog

Pepper squints at the dog. She's used to smaller.

Nora R.: bark bark, etc.

Malkas: "Hey, so what if you tell them I died?"

"Got carried off by a bird, like your uncle."

Pepper: "Would they take our word for it?"

Edith Runekill: "Please don't make light of our family tragedies."

Grim does something useful with a ranger skill for once in her life and non verbally asks the dog what the mood is like in the house

Capridi: "Wow, and people think I'm manipulative."

Malkas: "Sorry."

Edith Runekill: "Look, it's gonna be fine. I told them you're coming and they said it's okay and we're just gonna eat dinner, sleep the night, and be on our way in the morning."

Malkas looks extremely unconvinced.

Edith Runekill: "And. I mean. If I told 'em you'd die. They'd ask what we were doing where people were getting killed..."

Capridi: "So I don't have to talk to anyone?"

Nora R.: The dog tells Grim, in a series of barks and assorted dog noises, that the house is busy with preparations for guests, one of whom has already arrived. He also says that his owner is very happy to see Edith again.

Grim gives the dog's ears a scratch and communicates to him silently that he is, in fact, a very good boy

Nora R.: The dog barks happily.

Grim straightens up and lights a cigarette

Grim socialised with Edith's family

It's a start! As a follow-up, the group also gets to socialize with Edith's older brother Tom. Edith asks him how it's going in the house and he shrugs before being introduced to the rest of them. He shakes Mal's hand and apologizes in advance for anything their parents might say but tries to assure him that they mean well. Mal most definitely is not assured, but says nothing. The group silently gives him moral support, but he gives no response—he's not expecting anyone to stick their neck out for him when things go south.

The group heads on in for dinner.

The farmhouse is nicely and neatly decorated with various country knick-knacks and pictures, but it all takes a backseat to Runekill—the family's ancestral greatsword engraved with runes—which hangs above the fireplace. In the parlor, a large man we assume to be Pa Runekill converses with a serious looking man in religious vestments as the group enters.

Malkas internally: Oh god they're banishing me to Hell.

Edith Runekill: "Oh... Pastor Jack. I... I didn't know you'd be here...?"

Capridi sees the pastor in the room, immediately regrets following the group in.

Edith Runekill looks very confused.

Pepper is already completely lost vis a vis Runekills.

Pastor John stands up and bows stiffly. "Reverend John Icedirge, Reformed Church of Auril." He sits back down.

Capridi doesn't make eye contact, is genuinely hoping for once that she's mistaken for livestock

Edith Runekill turns to look at Pa. "Hey Pa. Sorry to drop in on such short notice, but, well, like I said, we were headed down this way on our way to Prastuil University, and..."

Pa Runekill: "Why don't you go help your Ma and Grace with dinner in the kitchen? Got a lot of company tonight."

Edith Runekill: "Uh..."

"O... okay...?"

Capridi gets up "I'll help, c'mon edith."

Malkas looks desperately after Edith.

Pa Runekill puts up a hand. "Making guests do the cooking is bad manners. Have a seat, all of you. I'm eager to have a talk with my girl's... associates."

Edith Runekill vanishes kitchen-wards.

Capridi pretends not to hear and follows edith

Pepper watches Cap go, unsure if she ought to be jealous or not.

Pa Runekill glares after Capridi, who has flagrantly violated Hospitality Rules.

Grim glances after them, then back at Pa. She takes a seat because in certain very specific contexts she has manners.

Edith Runekill: {T Mal: hang in there, ok?}

Sydney Gaydos already on edge, this doesn't seem... the best. She sits down after Grim does at the table.

Pepper awkwardly perches on the closest thing that could be called a seat.

Malkas: {T Edith: This is how I die..}

Tom Runekill looks obviously uncomfortable at the exchange that just took place and sits down, worriedly.

Pa—whose name is Gordon, but that's neither here nor there as he is Pa—opens conversation by saying he's surprised to see Mal's stuck around as long as he has. The group comes to his defense, telling Pa that Mal is a solid and dedicated person. Pa then asks the rest of the group what their future plans are.

Pa Runekill: "Well."

"Why don't y'all tell me a little bit about yourselves while the girls are busy in the kitchen? What're you headed down to Prastuil for, anyways?"

Grim: "Miz Runekill's got some contacts down that way, going to look in on some research of theirs or somesuch. Well over my head."

Pepper watches Grim take point. What even IS Plaguewrought Land?

Pa Runekill looks at Grim, trying to place her.

Pa Runekill looks REASONABLY at ease with Grim. He gets Grim. Unlike the others, he's met people like Grim.

Pa Runekill: "How'd you end up mixed up with Edith, anyway? You don't seem like the college girl type. Since... you seem real, y'know? Like you care about real things, that matter."

Malkas , internally, passive-aggressive, "oh i guess your daughter doesnt matter bc shes all i care about"

Pastor John stares at Mal. It's a little upsetting.

Grim: "Don't know 'bout that." Grim takes a drag on her cigarette and considers for a moment. "I care about seein' right done where I can, and all these folks do too. So I guess we kinda fell into company."

"Y'all have worked the land out here a long time, so I hear?"

Malkas is used to humans giving him nasty looks for no reason. He's used to this.

Pa Runekill: "Since this land was opened up for settlement again, after the reclamation, yeah. The Runekills homesteaded on this land with the first wave of pioneers from Luskan."

Grim raises her eyebrows and nods

Pepper stares at Pastor John, for lack of anything else to do. He looks like an undertaker that got mixed up with one of his corpses.

Grim: "Miz Runekill's rightly proud've her roots. Saw the land on our way comin' in, hell of a bit of country. This been a good season?"

Pa Runekill: "Well, sayin' you're proud is one thing, puttin' in the work is something different, y'know? But yeah, we've had some good seasons. It's hard work, hard livin' sometimes. But it's a good life."

Pastor John then takes point on asking Pepper and Sydney a few questions.

Pastor John: "You two have been very quiet."

Pepper: { T Sydney: is it too late to pretend we don't speak Common }

Sydney Gaydos stiffens oh No. "That is because it would be rude to, ah, interrupt the conversation between Mr. Runekill and Grim."

Sydney Gaydos: { T Pepper: That would have been good to plan beforehand...}

Pepper grins at the Pastor with her best Elven graces.

Pepper: "Just taking in the scene, my good chum." What. "Sir." Her grin grows wider.

Pastor John smiles back. The expression does not sit naturally on his grave face.

Malkas expends an action to stop himself from openly sweating.

Pa Runekill glances at Pepper, then at the pastor. He sends a complicated series of small Plaguewrought facial tics. The pastor gracefully puts up a hand.

There's nothing suspicious about them or this group or this conversation at all.

Pa then asks the group if they've been having any trouble on the road. Grim tells him they came by the Dragon Coast and with Mal and Edith as navigators there's hardly been any trouble. A few bulletes, but otherwise a smooth trip.

Grim offers to repay the Runekill's hospitality in by way of pest control, but Pa turns her down. It's against hospitality and there aren't as many monsters in the area as other parts of the continent.

From the kitchen, Edith tries to get a feel for how the group is getting along in the parlor. Mal tries to be optimistic, but there's only so much he can do.

Edith Runekill: {T Mal: Everything going okay out there? I didn't expect to just be sent outta the room like that. Although in retrospect maybe I shoulda. I'm family, not a guest. But I left all of you holding the bag.}

Grim: "You got a charmed life out here, Mr Runekill. Glad t'know we got things worth defending."

Pa Runekill: "And folks worth defending."

Grim nods at that and puts out the end of her cigarette

Malkas: {T Edith: Not actually sure.. Grim's taking point, going surprisingly well. I think the Pastor's gonna kill me but I'm used to looks like that."}

Edith Runekill: {T Mal: Pastor Jack being here really threw me for a loop. Maybe he and Pa are friends now that I'm away? I don't remember ever seeing him outside of church. He's way different when he's not inhaling the weird fumes from burnt offerings to Auril, I gotta say.}

Capridi is watching edith stare into nothing, unsure why she's spacing out.

Edith Runekill: "Oh, sorry! Got a bit distracted." She goes back to plating dinner.

Malkas: {T Edith: He's giving me the creeps, that's for sure.}

Edith Runekill: {T Mal: We'll be out soon. And then its smooth sailing.}

Capridi: "Is it cool if i stay in here? That old fool in the cloth is creeping me out."

Ma Runekill: "Excuse me."

Malkas: {T Edith: If you say so...}

Capridi: "[Celestian]I'm sorry, I dont know what you're saying. I don't speak the language."

Ma Runekill: "You were just speaking Common a second ago."

Capridi: "My languge is uhhh [celestian] not good, [common] apologies."

Ma Runekill: "You been in my hair long enough. Out you go."

Ma Runekill shoos Capridi out of the kitchen. Grace gives her a sympathetic look.

Capridi: "[celestian] jeez lady, take a joke."

Capridi walks back into the room, reluctantly

Pepper watches Cap come back in the room.

Pa Runekill: "Glad you could join us again."

Grim isn't

Pepper is glad for the distraction.

Pa Runekill: "Have a seat. No need to be a stranger."

Capridi takes a seat "[celestial] Fine, whatever."

Tom Runekill returns to the dinner table. He flashes Mal what he hopes is a reassuring smile; it's an expression Mal might have seen on Edith's face before.

Malkas makes that White People Smile at Tom.

Pastor John: [Celestial] Always a pleasure to meet a fellow speaker of the Celestial tongue.

Tom's children come in as a distraction while Pastor John attempts to talk with Cap in celestial and Cap attempts to ignore him. Mercifully, Ma comes out to announce it's dinner time and everyone heads to the table to eat.

The elder Runekills exchange a look before everyone sits down to a veritable country feast. Grim, Pepper, and Syd take notice of both the look and that Pastor John has something in his lap.

Pepper percepts the hell out of this scene.

Pepper gives Grim a sidelong glance like "this is weird right".

Malkas becomes 80% more nervous.

Grim glances at Pepper. Yep.

Sydney Gaydos curiously leans over to see what the Pastor put on his lap, given her size she probably doesn't need to lean over too much.

Grim spots Syd leaning over and gives Pepper another look

Pepper raises an eyebrow at that. Ha ha! Now Plaguewrought folks aren't the only ones who can talk without speaking!

Grim nudges Pepper and her eyes move to Syd and back again

Pepper: {T Sydney: What's old creepy holding over there? }

Pa Runekill stands. He cuts a dramatic figure standing in front of the eponymous family blade, Runekill. It's not even really undercut by Grace's commemorative plates underneath.

Pa Runekill: "Pastor Jack."

"Wanna lead everyone in saying grace?"

Capridi thinks "fuck"

Pastor John begins saying an incantation to Auril... and casts Zone of Truth.

Well!

How about that?

Sydney Gaydos eye narrows suspiciously. "Are Zones of Truth a normal occurrence at dinners in Plaguewrought?"

Malkas 's eyes flick to the Pastor, then to Pa. He carefully says nothing.

Grim looks up at the pastor and clenches her knuckles on the table, just barely stopping herself from getting to her feet. She looks ready to kill

Capridi is thankful she had caught on. She can't handle anymore awkwardness, especially from someone like pastor john.

Pastor John sets the thing he'd kept in his lap on the table; it's a black briefcase. He opens it-- you catch sight of three scrolls in it before he removes a newspaper and closes the briefcase again.

Malkas tries to catch Edith's eye.

Pepper sees Grim out of the corner of her eye but grins at the pastor. "I dunno, Syd, they were common enough around my dinner table."

Edith Runekill looks at Ma and Pa all like wtf

Tom Runekill looks appalled

Pastor John: The newspaper is a copy of the Baldur's Gate Globe from a few weeks ago. 'HEROES SAVE TRAIN MENACED BY KRAKEN' screams the headline. There's a photo of the mayor of Baldur's Gate giving an award to an extremely bedraggled-looking Edith, Sydney, Mal, Pepper, and Grim.

Capridi just pretends she doesn't know celestial either. She nods "[celestial] be thankful for bathroom days of ten"

Pa Runekill: "Now then."

"'Not much trouble', huh?"

"A few bulettes."

"How about you tell me what you're really up to out here?"

Grim: "You accusin' me of bein' a liar, pastor?"

"We met a couple bulettes on the road. They didn't slow us down too much."

Grim speaks in a growl

Capridi sits back and lets grim be the awkwardness sponge for once.

Pastor John: "Why are you going to Prastuil?"

Grim: "Miz Runkill's got contacts there. Checkin' on some research."

"Like. I. Said."

Grim is so angry she's rigid

Pastor John: "Researching what, specifically."

Grim: "The hell's it to a man who won't ask straight up?"

Edith Runekill: "Er, the medieval cultures of the East...?"

Pepper mage hands a roll.

Pastor John: "Not you, Edith. I want to hear it from the others."

Capridi hopes grim gets angry enough to punch out the pastor

Grim is close

Grim: "If you got somethin' to say, I'd rather you say it."

"Than go interrogatin' us like no-good lowlifes that weren't invited here fair 'n square."

Pastor John: "Okay, fine. I was going to give you one last chance to own up. I was even willing to facilitate that with some of... Auril's grace."

Pepper: "HAH! Say grace! I get it!" she guffaws, pointing between Pa and the Pastor.

Grim: "Own up?"

Grim does get to her feet, staring at the pastor

Pastor John tells the group that he knows Edith called her mother a few weeks before asking about her uncle in Secomber, he knows that there have been lich sightings in places the group has been, and that Prastuil is a leading authority on ancient Thay.

Grim stares at the pastor like she's daring him to object

Grim: "And?"

Pepper: "Sounds to me like he's got some weird lich obsession," she says to Grim, taking a bite out of a roll.

Pa Runekill cuts to the chase. "You're dragging our baby girl out chasing a Lich."

Pa Runekill: "You gonna deny that?"

Grim shoots Pa a disbelieving look

Sydney Gaydos: "We do not drag anyone! Much less Edith. She's coming with us of her own free will!"

Grim: "Mr. Runekill, your daughter's been on the front line of this fight from the first day Szass Tam showed his rotten ass face in Neverwinter. She's a goddamn hero, and you all ought to pray you measure up when the time comes it matters round here."

Grim shoots that look at the pastor too

Grim: "Just what have you done about the long dead evil trampin' over good folks these last months, Pastor John Icedirge?"

Capridi leans over Mal towards Syd, "[draconoc] Syd, this is weird. Why is this guy so hard pressed to get in our business? Sounds like something a hard boiled detective would need to investigate."

Pepper , in a sing-song voice in the Pastor's direction--in Elvish so it sounds EXTRA beautiful--"[Elvish] You fu-ucked u-up."

Pastor John: "Looking after my flock. And I won't say fighting a lich is an honorable thing. But you aren't gonna get Gordon's daughter killed doing it."

Edith Runekill: "I know what I'm doing!"

Pepper is just helping herself to bits of the meal while this unfolds.

Edith Runekill: "Grim's right! I'm doing this of my own free will. I want to do this."

Grim looks the Pastor in the eye, hands flat on the table as she leans over towards him

Grim: "I ain't gonna get Edith killed."

Capridi whispers to Syd some more "[draconic] You'd think a guy who's all about god would be delighted someone is taking care of a lich..."

Pa Runekill: "Just 'cause you want something don't mean its good for you, Edith."

Grim is like zone of truth up your own ass

Tom Runekill and Grace exchange some truly alarmed looks and, as the conversation gets more heated, they take their kids and leave.

Pepper waves as the family leaves.

Sydney Gaydos looks surprised at the sudden draconic, but replies to Capridi. [Draconic] "It's her parents' poor attempt at "concern" and an invasion of privacy is what it is."

Capridi: "[draconic] I'm not talking about her folks, but this dude. He was the only one who knew about this, its not like her folks invited him to convince her."

Pastor John sidles around the side of the table and stands next to Edith, by the seat vacated by Tom, Jr.

Malkas clenches his fists.

Malkas 's hands are under the table, on his lap.

Grim moves around the other side of the table, around Pa, oh man oh man oh man

Pepper just. Stands.

Pastor John: "I was afraid it would come to this. Girls like her never do see reason or think of what's best for her family. I'm afraid we must insist she stays here with her family, where she belongs."

Grim raises a finger in the pastor's face

Grim: "Lay one goddamn hand on her, I dare you."

Edith Runekill stands up, furious. "Let's-- go. Let's just go. Get our bags and leave."

Capridi "[draconic] condescending old fart"

Malkas stands. His heart is pounding in his chest and the look on his face is exactly what people worry about when they see tieflings.

Pastor John pulls the scrolls out of his briefcase and, off of one of them, casts Sleep on Edith.

Malkas launches over the table.

Pepper recoils from the Pastor and Mal and heck, just everything from that side of the table.

Oh.

Well then.

Game on!

Mal's first order of business is to smash the hilt of his sword into the Pastor's face before grabbing Edith.

Pastor John: "I knew it!"

Malkas: [Infernal] "GET AWAY FROM HER YOU SON OF A BITCH."

Pepper: "Hey, you don't get the moral high ground on this!" she says to the Pastor.

Capridi: "[celestial]KICK HIS SORRY ASS!"

Pepper fist pumps. "[Elvish] Eat shit, you weird old scarecrow."

Grim smacks the pastor with a tray, restrains him with vines and silences the room fuck you

Capridi: "Grim I take back all the shit I said about you!"

Pepper has the last bit of her sentence cut off by magical silence, but the point got across.

Capridi realizes no one can hear her, gives grim two thumbs up.

Grim is still holding the tray, breathing hard. She is So Angry.

Sydney Gaydos LEAPS across the table to pummel the Pastor with her fists.

Malkas 's wild snarling is even worse without any sound. You get the feeling this is what that Devil Hunter saw on Ocila's face seconds before his throat was slit by a child.

With the room silenced and the Pastor restrained by vines, the fight is over and—aw who am I kidding, both Syd and Cap join in and give him a few good punches as well. He tries to retaliate with his war hammer, but it's difficult from under vines and two dragonborn without any way of casting spells.

So Pa takes Runekill down from the mantle and smacks Grim in the back of the head with it.

Grim is so fucking pissed at you Pa Runekill

Grim IS DISPLEASED THAT YOU SWORDED HER IN THE BACK UNPROVOKED

Grim DICK

Pepper distracts him by throwing pepper in his eyes, allowing Mal to escape out the door with an unconscious Edith.

Pepper salutes Mal as he passes.

Malkas yells "THANK YOU FOR DINNER, SORRY ABOUT YOUR DISHES MRS. RUNEKILL."

Malkas: "Nice to meet you, Tom, we've really gotta get going on account of your father tryin' to kidnap Edith."

Tom Runekill: "I didn't know about any of this, I swear!"

Malkas: "It's fine, you seem nice, you should bring Grace and the kids over to the city sometime, we'll get lunch!"

Malkas is speaking as he's running.

Tom Runekill: "I don't... I'm not gonna pretend I know why Edith wants to do this kinda thing, but-- but it's her choice, right?"

Malkas: "I won't let anything happen to her. If I gotta slay Asmodeus himself."

Tom Runekill: "And he broke Hospitality rules. I... I don't know what he's doin'..."

Tom Runekill looks SUPER grossed out

Back inside, Grim takes a few swings at Pa while Syd does her best to headbutt the Pastor into submission. He's too determined to go down from that and avoids a wild swing from Cap who's cussing him out the whole time.

Outside, Edith tries to make sense of what happened.

Edith Runekill: "Uh... wha... what's going on?"

"Did I... faint?"

Malkas: "Sleep spell from Pastor Asshole. Pasthole."

Edith Runekill: [infernal] "What the fuck?"

"Pastor Jack? Is that why he was there?"

"Ugh... I... I led us right into this..."

Malkas: "I may have slammed the end of my sword into his face? Bit of a rage blur."

"Your brother seems nice. I don't recommend going back in there."

"Maybe you should hide in the camper?"

Meanwhile, Pa's proven himself too irresponsible to wield a sword—he does keep swinging it at unarmed people—and Syd grabs it from him. Enraged, he turns to go outside to find Edith, but Pepper and Grim block his way.

Grim just gives Pa such a look

Pepper grins at Pa.

Pepper: " 'Sup? My good chum?"

Pa Runekill glares daggers at Pepper.

Pepper grins back. She's like right between him and the door now, good, great.

Edith Runekill: "Should we go back in? Where is everyone?"

Malkas: "No no no, they're coming. I think."

Malkas leans on the horn.

Edith Runekill: "You THINK?"

Malkas: "It's only been like 10 seconds give them a sec!"

Grim gives Pa a warning look, then turns her attention to Pepper and jerks her head at the Pastor

Grim: "Tell him to stand down."

"This ain't gettin' resolved by blows."

Pa Runekill: "Stand down, Reverend! This ain't working!"

Pastor John gives Pa a thumbs-up, as if to indicate that everything is still under control and he's got this.

Capridi keeps tearing at the priest

Pepper uses prestidigitation to flash a message right over the pastor's big stupid face. "GIVE UP." There's also a lewd Elvish word tacked on to the end of it.

Grim considers Silencing the car

Pastor John loses the battle of wills with Grim and gives up, though Cap is still on top of him. She gets in a few more hits before Grim hauls her off into the parlor. Beaten and thoroughly chumped chagrined, the Pastor makes to leave.

Pa Runekill stands and just glowers at the wreckage of the dinner. And at the Pastor.

Grim: "Get it together. We're done here."

Pa Runekill: "Shoulda never let you talk me into breaking hospitality."

Capridi struggles as grim drags her away

Grim drags Cap into the living room before she's released

Sydney Gaydos follows Grim and the struggling Cap out closely, still clutching the sword blade whoops.

Pastor John: "Is that more important than your daughter's life, Gordon?" He looks absolutely livid.

Pa Runekill: "You told me this work, you told me it'd be worth it in the end, you told me... you..."

Pepper pulls a bag out of a pocket, shovels some of the dinner inside, and seals it up. "We'll see about getting her to call more often, eh?" she grins at Pa.

Pepper heads out to the living room.

Capridi wrestles herself away from Grim. She glares at her for a bit, knowing she went overboard but doesn't want to admit it. She sits down and tries to take a few deep breaths, still livid.

Grim turns back to look through the door at the two men, still mad as hell

Malkas wipes his tail on the grass. It was covered in potato.

Pastor John glares at Grim, and at the door, and back at Grim.

Grim steps in front of the pastor as he makes to leave. She looks him up and down, then looks him in the eye

Capridi picks herself up and heads outside without a word.

Grim: "Look to your own soul, pastor. Think about who needs the protectin' around here. And from what."

Grim steps aside and shoots Pa the same look over the pastor's shoulder

Grim: "You both oughta be ashamed."

Tom Runekill: "Yeah! What she said!"

Pepper slaps a dinner roll down into Tom's hand.

Grim sets her hat back on her head and lifts her rifle from the doorway

Pastor John stares at Grim a while longer, then turns and leaves. He gets into his station wagon and drives away.

Malkas watches him as he goes.

Pastor John a cloud of dust rises as he drives down the access road.

Grim sets a cigarette in her mouth and speaks to Pa around it as she lights up

Grim: "You're gonna live to see your daughter become a hero, Mr Runekill. Kind books're written on."

Malkas gives Cap an approving nod.

Grim: "Try to make peace with that."

Sydney Gaydos sees that Grim has it handled and heads outside towards the car-camper.

Capridi sits in the car and lights up. She doesn't look at Mal.

Pa Runekill says, in a low voice, "I'd rather have her here than in a history book."

Grim: "World needs history books. S'what keeps us here."

Pa Runekill: "Guess I... I don't got much of a leg to stand on. I brought dishonor down upon myself and my family, and got repaid by losing here tonight."

"Just... just go, all right? Just go."

Grim looks Pa up and down and pauses for a moment, then offers out her hand

Grim: "You'll see her again, sir. Promise you that."

Pa Runekill: "Don't make promise you can't keep."

Grim: "Never do."

Pa Runekill: "Hm."

Pa Runekill doesn't shake Grim's hand.

Tom Runekill gives Pa a reproachful look, and slips past Grim and Pa to go outside.

Grim leaves it open for several moments, looking him in the eye, then nods and turns to head for the door

Outside, Tom is still stunned by what happened. He apologizes to Edith and swears he had no idea what their father had been planning.

Tom Runekill: "They broke hospitality!" He looks aghast.

Malkas eyes Tom.

Tom Runekill: "Malkas. I... I still don't really know why anybody would wanna live their life like... all of you..." He gestures vaguely at the group. "But... but you seem like a good man."

Malkas: "Thanks. You seem like a good man too. Tell your mom I'm sorry if I broke any plates."

Tom Runekill smiles wanly. "They were Grace's plates. And Pa broke most of 'em."

Pepper sits in the car with a huff.

Grim drops her things in the car and leans against it, surveying the endless fields while she smokes

Malkas: "Well, still sorry."

Capridi just wants to hurry up and get out of this corn carpeted hellscape.

Tom Runekill: "Yeah."

Malkas sits next to Edith. "You guys keep safe."

Tom Runekill turns to look at Sydney. Or, more specifically, at the sword in her hands. "Runekill..."

Malkas lights two cigarettes and gives one to Edith.

Tom Runekill: "That blades been in our family since long before we came to Plaguewrought Land. Our ancestors wielded it back in the far north, when they were still pirates and explorers and raiders off the coast of Luska. It's seen... a lotta adventures."

Pepper: "It also saw the back of Grim's head," she frowns.

Sydney Gaydos: "Oh! Gaydos had forgotten she disarmed the sword from your father." She holds it, hilt out, towards Tom. "Would you like it back? It sounds very important to the family."

Tom Runekill: "It's been passed from father to son for generations. But for the last few, it's just been an ornament on the mantelpiece. But... but that ain't right. It's... it's an adventurer's blade."

"And there's only one Runekill who's having an adventure now."

Tom Runekill smiles at Edith.

Tom Runekill gently pushes the sword back towards Sydney. "Keep it. Keep my sister safe. And... and... and make it part of a STORY again."

Tom Runekill: "Anyway, Pa's shown he clearly can't be trusted with the thing in the house."

Sydney Gaydos hums in agreement. "You honor Gaydos with such things. Both sword and trust in Edith's safety. However..." she then holds the sword towards Edith. "This should be yours then."

Grim: "That man's all pride 'n no honor." Grim mutters from the back of the car where she leaning.

Pepper starts singing "Yer Pa Is A Fuckin' Dick." It's a traditional Elvish ballad. At least, that's how her dad tells it.

Edith Runekill takes the sword because it's such a touching family moment. Even though she has literally no idea how to use the sword and will probably give it back to Sydney.

Edith Runekill waves the sword experimentally.

Edith Runekill stares in wonder as the runes all start glowing.

Edith Runekill: "Oh!"

"Um."

Pepper stops singing. "Nice."

Edith Runekill: "Th-this is. It's an honor."

"I... I didn't think a Runekill girl would ever get to... get to. Well. Have this."

Capridi wants everyone to stop talking so we can leave. This place sucks.

Edith Runekill looks from Sydney to Tom and back to Sydney again. "Thank you."

It's a bittersweet moment as Edith makes plans with Tom to have him and his family visit her in the future before the group gets in the car and leaves. Pepper—who definitely swiped the Pastor's briefcase after the fight—starts rifling through his notes and reading them.

Pepper is reading this priest's shitty notes out loud on the drive.

Pepper: "This guy's a piece of work."

"This shit-eater was gonna try to banish you, Mal."

Malkas: "That's not how tieflings work."

Pepper: "'Grime'. I think this is you Grim. 'Make her leave her gun outside'."

Grim grunts

Pepper: "'The elf'. 'Take away her musical instrument, keep her from bolstering the group's morale'. This joker thinks I'm a bard."

"'The dragonborn'. 'Trick into fridge? Find a big bird??'." She wrinkles her nose.

Sydney Gaydos: "That's... not how dragonborns work."

Pepper holds the notes out the side of the car and incinerates them, scattering the ashes.

Malkas stares straight ahead.

Grim regrets starting a fight before dinner, in retrospect

Capridi is ready for this day to be over with.

Pepper offers the bag of Dinner to Grim. It's a little jumbled up, but not too gravy soaked. "I swiped some stuff Mal didn't step in."

Malkas: ".. 'm sorry, Edith."

Edith Runekill: "It's... it's 10000% not your fault."

Grim eyeballs it like she might turn it down, then takes a roll and stacks it with whatever she can find

Malkas: "I coulda handled it better. ... There's a motel at the next rest stop..."

Malkas points to a passing sign.

Edith Runekill 's eyes are fixed on the road. She's very hungry.

Edith Runekill takes that exit.

Grim: "Gotta find somewhere to eat," she says with her mouth full

Pepper nods and mumbles in agreement, unable to speak around a mouth of chicken.

Helia (GM): The car pulls up to the "Best" Diner in the "Area"

Edith Runekill parks at the rest stop. She's still in an area she recognizes; she used to eat here a lot. There's a few teens eating burgers outside.

Sydney Gaydos: "Pepper... if you have no need for the briefcase, may Gayods have it? It's very official and nice looking."

Pepper: "Mm," she licks her fingers. "Help yourself," she hands it over, tucking the scrolls into her pocket first.

Sydney Gaydos makes a delighted little noise and starts examining and touching the briefcase with oohs and aahs. "Thank you! She will put this to great use."

Edith Runekill hops out of the car. And then realizes she should probably not carry a sword into a diner.

Malkas wordlessly exits the car.

Grim finishes eating before she enters the diner, as is only polite

Edith Runekill picks up her staff instead.

Malkas sits at a booth and buries his head in his hands.

Edith Runekill sits next to Mal and drapes her arm over his shoulders.

The group tries to decompress over a diner meal, but the day's events are a lot to process. Mal and Edith both wonder if they did something wrong.

Grim: "Weren't nothin' you two did."

Malkas orders a beer.

Grim: "Runekill, you're a good kind. An' that's worth all the more now, seein' where you come from."

Pepper: "That creep was gonna kidnap you! And your dad was just--ugh." She crosses her arms.

Edith Runekill: "What did Pa do...?"

Grim takes a drag on her cigarette and drags an ashtray over, frowning

Capridi gets up to go to the bathroom. She doesn't wanna hear about this again.

Pepper: "Well he thought it was a good idea, for starters."

Edith Runekill: "Yeah."

"I... I knew he didn't exactly approve of how I been living my life, but... I... I wasn't..."

Helia (GM): The diner lady comes by, "Well, Edith Runekill. Ain't you a sight for sore eyes!"

Grim: "Mal 'n me restrained the priest. So your pop took down that old sword and-..." She raises a hand to the back of her head, only realising dimly now that she's still sticky with blood.

Helia (GM): She goes :| "I'll come back later."

Grim looks up at the diner lady, rubbing blood from her fingers

Edith Runekill: "Oh, so that's what Tom meant about dishonoring the blade..."

[infernal] FUCK.

Malkas: "I... overreacted a bit."

Edith Runekill: "I-- I-- I'm mad at HIM, and at myself, and... and..."

Grim: "You reacted about right from where I was stood, Malkas."

"Got Edith right outta there."

"Best way things coulda gone."

Sydney Gaydos: "Gaydos is in agreement. It was the right thing to do."

Edith Runekill: "I mean. If. If he really put me to sleep to try to kidnap me after I said I wanted to leave. Then... well. I think a strong response was kinda justified."

Pepper: "You didn't, you absolutely didn't," she says to Mal. "You protected her more than her dad did." She bangs on the table once for emphasis.

Grim: "Didn't mean to go startin' a real throwdown in there, but there ain't so much choice in it when a man comes at you from behind with a greatsword." Grim is still pretty pissed about that.

Pepper: "Who sits by and lets someone do that to their own daughter? Who thinks that's a good idea?" She's ranting at the salt shaker.

Sydney Gaydos: "Ah because of that... Grim, would you like some healing? Only if you feel comfortable with it." Sydney holds out her hand towards her.

Edith Runekill: "My... my parents did, apparently." She's still kind of trying to grapple with this.

Malkas: "Not your mom, I don't think."

"She didn't seem on board."

Grim waves Sydney off

Edith Runekill: "Oh..."

"Well. That's good to know."

Grim: "I'll knit up good with a li'l rest, and a good meal. Teach me to be less trustin' of folks I turn my back on."

Capridi comes back, wiping her hands with a paper towel. She tosses it on the floor behind her and sits on the bar nearby.

Sydney Gaydos sighs internally, and gets up to dispose of the paper towel in a trashbin.

Malkas: "I feel like I should write a letter of apology."

"For jumping on the pastor."

"And stepping on the potatoes."

Edith Runekill: "Pastor Jack cast a spell on me with hostile intent. He oughta apologize to us."

"But... maybe you should apologize to Ma and Grace about the potatoes."

Malkas: "Yeah."

Capridi speaking of potatoes, cap orders some fries.

Pepper: "That pastor's a jackass, you don't owe people like that the time of day."

Edith Runekill takes a long drink of her beer.

Pepper drinks but she's frowning so much a good portion dribbles out around the corners of her mouth. She ain't even give a damn. >:C

Grim ashes her cigarette, watching Edith

Pepper does use magic to dry her clothes, though.

Grim: "You okay, Edith?"

Edith Runekill: "I... no, not really."

"I just... I don't know."

Grim nods

Grim: "Well, I reckon we all had enough silence. F'you wanna talk."

Grim is not used to saying these words, ever

Edith Runekill: "It's just... that was my home. It's one I had a lot of mixed feelings about, one I was glad to leave behind in a lot of ways, but it was still... it was still home."

"But... it isn't anymore, I reckon."

Grim nods slowly at that, smoking as she listens

Malkas nurses his beer and listens quietly.

Pepper runs her fingers through her hair.

Edith Runekill: "Wasn't expecting something like that to go down there. So. So I let my guard down, I wasn't watching carefully enough. But. But I didn't expect that to happen at the table I ate dinner at for the first 18 years of my life, beneath my sister in law's collection of novelty plates, over a meal I helped cook."

"I just... it... I feel... dislocated now?"

Grim removes her cigarette from her mouth and exhales, nodding. She thinks about it for a moment before she answers.

Grim: "Edith, I ain't ever had a fixed abode, so I don't know what you're comin' from. But...as I see it, home is where your life is."

"This-..." She gestures around. "This is just a place you come from."

Pepper: "And all that about 'I let my guard down', 'I wasn't watching', that's bullshit, none of this is on you." She picks up and points at Edith with the salt shaker.

Capridi finds herself agreeing with grim. What the hell.

Edith Runekill nods at Grim and Pepper. "I guess..."

Edith Runekill: "It's just. I... I can't help but feel like I lost something big today."

Pepper: "Family shouldn't do what your dad did. Family should be there for you. Like Mal was." She looks like she has more to say but she just sets the salt shaker down.

Grim regards Edith, then gives a twitch of a half smile

Grim: "S'about time you started travellin' light."

Edith Runekill: "'Cept for the big heavy sword I drove off with."

Grim smirks

Grim: "That sure don't hurt."

"....poor choice've words, it sure did hurt."

Pepper peers at the back of Grim's head.

Grim places her hand over Pepper's face and pushes her back out of her personal bubble

Capridi turns around on the stool, and casts cure wounds on Grim.

Edith Runekill: "Yeah. It hurt. But. But it's still a big thing. Both literally, and... yeah."

Pepper: "Grouch," she says, muffled around Grim's hand.

Grim stiffens a little and glances sideways at Capridi, taken by surprise.

Capridi turns back around to eat her fries.

Pepper raises an eyebrow and busies herself with her drink.

Grim shivers a little and raises a hand to the back of her head, then lifts her cigarette and settles down again

Edith Runekill: "I... I'm still kinda shocked Tom just gave it up. He spent his whole life expecting to inherit that blade. It's his birthright as the oldest son, y'know?:

Grim: "You hear what he said about that sword, 'n adventurers?"

"I reckon he half wishes he was goin' with you too."

Edith Runekill: "He... he's proud of his family. And farm life suits him. But... well, you're right. He grew up on the same sagas of our ancestors I did."

Grim: "You might just be the first Runekill in a while who ain't afraid've the past."

Grim still can't believe they were j'accused over hunting a literal lich like it's a bad thing

Edith Runekill: "Well..."

Malkas: "We didn't even hunt that Kraken."

"That was just bad luck."

Malkas is talking distantly.

Malkas: "Weird thing to accuse us of..."

Pepper: "He's a weird guy!"

Edith Runekill entwines her hand in Mal's. The one she's not holding her beer in, anyway.

Edith Runekill: "I mean. It is true that we're doing the kinda thing where a run of bad luck means you nearly get killed by a kraken. No sense denying that. But... well, we know. We made a decision to do this."

In the end, the group does end up having a nice family dinner in their own way.

Pepper starts in quietly with an encore of the Elvish classic "Yer Pa Is A Fuckin' Dick" while waiting for her food. She's substituting 'Pastor' for 'Pa' this time.

Edith Runekill: [Elvish] "I am honor-bound to warn you that, for the last decade, Elvish is taught as a foreign language at the high schools here, and therefore your ribald lyrics might not go as uncomprehended as you might have preferred."

Pepper: "[Elvish] Dooooon't care."

Grim: [Elvish] "Yeah knock it off dipshit."

Edith Runekill does a double-take

Pepper is unperturbed at the lyrical sounds of bards and poets creaking out of Grim's mouth.

Grim continues to smoke and drink

Pepper locks eyes with Grim, reaches into her pocket, and pulls out her Hat. She puts it on and sips her drink.

Grim eyes her over and goes back to her beer

Edith Runekill: "Excuse me????"

Grim: [Elvish] "Seen it at the store I sold Mal."

[Elvish] "Still funny."

Edith Runekill: "We're gonna get thrown outta here and I haven't eaten yet and I'm so hungry so please take that off"

Pepper mage hands it on top of Edith's wizard hat.

Edith Runekill yelps

Pepper: "[Elvish] Shhhh, do you wanna get us kicked out?"

Grim: [Elvish] "Quit it, you jackanapes."

Edith Runekill mage-hands it off and onto the seat, out of sight.

Pepper snorts.

Grim: "An' I thought we got out've eatin' with kids."

Malkas silently eats his burger.

Pepper retrieves it and puts the hat away.

Edith Runekill: "Dorothea and Junior's table-manners are way better than we're doing right now, to be honest."

Grim: "Who the hell calls a kid junior anyway."

Edith Runekill: "People... here? He's Tom, Jr., so we just call him Junior. Is... is that weird?"

"I don't think that's weird."

Grim eats her burger like she didn't eat basically a light meal in the car

Grim: "What happens when they grow up"

Pepper ordered some sort of chef's special.

Pepper: "Sometimes THEY have a kid and call him 'the third'."

Pepper shakes her head.

Edith Runekill: "Well then he just reverts back to being Tom...? I don't know. Remind me not to name any of my kids 'Malkas' I guess."

Grim: "Hell's wrong with folk."

"Give your kids people names, damn."

Pepper: "Got that right."

Grim is unaware of any irony in this statement

Pepper ditto.

So it goes.
