luca’s house is the designated ‘get away from drama’ house

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

I've been dreaming of the Undersea Marauder.

There are so many rules in this world. So many shackles to keep him down.

Let nothing obstruct his errant path.

How does a moment last forever? How can a story never die?

A fish is bound to the water his entire life.

It’s not a life for him.

Floyd is on his back, set adrift in the face of the Coral Sea. His hands cradle the back of his head, and he finds himself staring up. A flock of birds form an arrow, slicing through the sky. He wonders where they're going, what they'll do there.

Some merpeople dreamed of trading scales for skin, but Floyd thinks about giving up his fins for feathers. A pair of wings with which to witness all manner of strange things…

He chuckles soft.

Wouldn't that be so freeing?

“Eheheh. I wanna try it, too! Wait up for me, birds. Here I come…!”

Floyd rights himself and dives unto the frigid waters. His powerful tail undulates like a teal ribbon, propelling him after and faster. He steadily gains, chasing the shadows of the birds that skim the surface of his home turf.

Floyd approaches, lifting himself toward the shimmering boundary between sea and sky. A second later, he breaks through with a mighty splash.

His body elegantly arcs in the leap. He’s a skipping dolphin, a flying fish.

Free.

Floyd launches higher and higher, zipping past the flock. He collides with some birds, screeching with laughter as they spin like cars out of control.

Here come the clouds now—he easily bursts through them. They’re made of cool and fine-grained beads of water, refreshing him as he flies.

And higher still he goes, the sky dimming, a gradient of light to dark.

Floyd is among the stars, each twinkling like diamonds in greeting. The planets, like massive globes of sugar orbiting him.

The eel is weightless, effortlessly floating through space. With his arms, he paddles--and though there should be no gravity, the space warps and gives like water, letting him sail as smoothly as a ship after a storm.

He reaches out and plucks a star out of the cosmos, giving it a curious lick. The taste is like sweetened milk, and so he pops the entire thing into his mouth.

Then begins his descent.

At the peak of his jump, surrounded by the stars, he bends downward and plunges.

But there are no longer any waters waiting for him.

He crashes through a canopy of leaves. They scatter like papers, raining down verdant, brown, scarlet, tangerine, and gold. Sunlight pierces them, giving each a magical glow.

Roots come, skittering by him like a snake might slink. Thin tendrils extend from them, brushing his face.

Maybe there is some other name for them? Hyph-something, myce-whatever. Floyd does not care to remember his twin's excitable rambling.

Alarmingly, he spies an ugly bulbous cap poking out from a root. His nose crinkles with disgust.

Shiitake mushroom.

Floyd paddles through the fungi and plants, the scent of dirt and chlorophyll filling his nostrils. It's fresh and green mixed with damp and earthy, nothing like the salty smell of the sea.

Jade would like this, he thinks.

Daisies push through, their petals tickling his skin. He takes a shaky breath, holds, shakes again, and...

Sneezes!!

A great gale is unleashed, clearing his surroundings in an instant. Floyd is sent flying up, up, and away--

He shoots out of the dunes. Sand scatters from the force he emerges with, throwing particle clouds up into the air. Floyd flails, trying to balance his body. No use--he flops uselessly under the pull of gravity.

A scream rips from his throat. Not of terror, but of joy.

The landscape unfolds into a sandy expanse. In the distance, he sees an oasis guarded by palm trees. And below, a great city crowning the desert.

There are bright tents and stalls pitched, merchants hawking their wares. Vases and lamps with unique patterns, ripe fruits, adornments in a variety of designs.

Families and friends mill about in the packed marketplace, satisfied with their mundane lives, the schedules they keep. So content, so peaceful.

Floyd grins.

And he lets himself plummet straight into a stall.

The weight of him collapses it with a loud THUD. The merchant looks on, horrified, and his circle of customers gasp, putting distance between themselves and Floyd. Sticky with fruit juices, he removes the strand of black hair that clings to his cheek.

"Eh, guess it could be worse," Floyd shrugs, tossing off a chunk of watermelon sitting like a hat on his head. A line of juice dribbles down his forehead.

He notices the crowd staring and wiggles his tail in a casual pseudo-wave. One person immediately faints--but luckily, they're caught by a concerned onlooker.

"Riffraff!" the merchant shouts, waving a fist. "Scoundrel!! I demand compensation for what you've wrecked!"

Floyd rolls his eyes. He sounds like Azul.

The eel hauls himself off the pile of fruit--and peels right past the feet of the customers. The merchant's face heats.

"Guards! GUARDS!! Come quickly, HELP!! There's a sea monster on the loose!!"

Floyd rapidly drags himself across the market, digging his talons into the ground, his tail pushing him forward. He gleefully writhes as people scream and flee, clearing a path for him. His laugh, cackling.

He's at the waterways that thread the city when heavy footsteps spill into the street.

"He went that way!!"

Floyd doesn't look back before he dives back into his natural element.

The water welcomes him, its streams washing off the sand that paints his skin, loosening the hair that clumped from fruit juices. A tender kiss, a kind hand.

He has returned to the sea.

The channel goes deeper than Floyd thinks. It widens, becoming an entire ocean bathed in sunlight. A coral reef teeming with life stretched out below him, and when he runs his hand along it, tiny seahorses escape and trail bubbles.

He turns his head this way--a school of rainbow tropical fish race by. The other way, a band is in full swing. A carp on the harp, the plaice on the bass, bass on brass.

Floyd twirls as he passes, happily humming along to the tune. The music wraps around him, giving a warm embrace. He almost misses his name being called, almost forgets himself.

"... od....... loyd... Floyd! There you are."

A face that matches his appears beside him. He is followed by a boy with lilac skin, a series of squirming tentacles at his beck and call.

“Where did you vanish off to?” Jade asks. “Azul and I were starting to get worried about your whereabouts. Weren’t we, Azul?”

“I’m more concerned for the places he visits rather than Floyd himself. Who knows how much collateral damage he could cause unsupervised,” the octopus merman grumbles.

“Oya, Azul… Could it be that you lack faith in Floyd? Even though he has unquestionably served you since middle school?"

"You're saying strange things again. I recall him losing interest and changing his mind last minute more often than 'unquestionably serving'." Azul raises a brow. "So? Where were you all this time?"

Floyd flings himself at the duo, slinging his arms around their shoulders and pulling them close.

"F-Floyd?! What is the meaning of this?" Azul sputters, struggling against his binds.

"I was everything and everywhere all at once," he responds with a laugh. "I was as free as a bird! I'll tell you guys about it~"

"Fufu, it sounds as though you've been away on quite an adventure. We would, of course, be more than happy to hear of your escapades."

hello can i request Frisk, Chara and Asriel from undertale with a reader who’s apart of the royal guards and when they first meet them (platonic) thanks!

Frisk, Chara And Asriel With A Reader Who's Part Of The Royal Guard

❝ Hii ★ This was actually one of the first requests I got, so I'm glad I was finally able to finish it :-) And I actually am kinda proud of it! (Mainly the Chara and Frisk part) ❞

also totally unrelated but the headphones I use, I was wearing them on only one of my ears and now the other hurts ouch

• You've heard the rumor about a human falling down from Mountain Ebott. . As it turns out, that rumor was true. It was the 7th human, meaning that with it's soul King Asgore will be able to break the barrier and free all of monsters from the underground.

• As part of the royal guard it was your duty to be on the look out for them. Especially now when you found out they got past Undyne and the other guards and that skeleton who's supposedly a Royal guard in training.

• If they were able to get through some of the mightiest monsters in the underground, surely, they must be very powerful and strong. And what were their intentions?

• All of those thoughts had disappeared once you saw them... Next to a hot dog stand. With 20 hot dogs on their head. ??? Are you sure this is the right human? There hasn't been some sort of mistake?

• You walked up to them and noticed a skeleton in a blue hoodie behind the counter of the hot dog stand. You look back at the human, who was now trying to grab one of the hot dogs on the top of it's head, despite the stack being too tall for them to reach. You look back at the skeleton who was now gone.

• You decide to talk with the human and it turns out- they weren't that bad! They always spared monsters instead of fighting them. And they even became Undyne's friend after saving her! That's surprising.

• Since it's a human child all alone in the underground, with monsters trying to attack them at every corner, you decided to walk with them through Hotland. Making sure nothing happended to them. Thanks to that, they didn't have to fight anyone in Hotland.

• But unfortunately you had to leave them alone at Core. Promising they'd come back to you if they ever needed help.

• Just as you started worrying for them, you heard monsters talk about a human appearing on Mettaton's show. It calmed you down to know they were alright, but also made you panic since it meant they were getting closer to Asgore

• But it all ended well with Frisk, you learned was their name, breaking the barrier and freeing the monsters. You knew that they had their friends to take care of them, but you'd still make sure they're doing alright. Now that you're all living on the surface, Frisk is known as a hero,amongst humans, and monsters.

• Wandering all alone around the different places in the underground, the Dreemurr's adopted child has encountered you in Waterfall.

• It was a place they were very familiar with, despite living underground for only a few weeks. They'd often visit it with Asriel.

• The child started following you, asking all types of questions. Growing curiouser and curiouser with each answer they've received.

• When suddenly, they pulled your arm. They told you to come with them for a second. Chara led you to a place/field full of Echo Flowers. Flowers that'd repeat whatever has been said to them.

• The human whispered different things to several flowers and prompted you to do the same. They mentioned some of the things they heard there. Some funny, some sad. Some more mysterious than others.

• Ever since, it's become a fun thing for you two. To just leave messages in the Echo Flowers. Waiting for the other to hear them and leave a new message. But one day, they've gone silent. And as it turns out, Chara was sick.

• You couldn't help but worry, and had tried to help them somehow but to no avail. Chara died. It was a miserable day for both monsters and the Dreemurr family, who had lost one of it's children.

• You went back to waterfall and listened to the peaceful water. When something caught your eye- an echo flower. You decided to hear what it had to say. It seemed to have been a passing conversation. . .

"Someday, I'd like to climb the mountain we're all buried under.

Standing under the sky, looking at the world all around...

That's my wish "

• One day, Asriel was wandering around the castle, when he heard shouting and sounds of swords cluttering coming from the training room. It wasn't unusual, since the new royal guard in training was a young girl named Undyne, who was almost always yelling.

• Quietly, he peeked through the door to see what was going on. But before he could even take a look, he heard someone behind him.

"Akhem"

• He quickly turned around to face you. You explained that you were sent by Toriel to go find Asriel, she seemed worried about not being able to find him. He crossed his arms and murmured something about going back to his room.

• It was only the first out of many times you had encountered the young prince. Usually trying to sneak up and watch Undyne's training. He seemed bored, so you decided to spend some time with him.

• You'd take him on some of your duties, which mostly consisted of simply checking if everything in the underground was in order etc. But it was enough for him.

• His parents were alright with it, they would even invite you for a butterscotch cinnamon pie along with a cup of tea.
