Play games with your characters!!!

·:*¨༺𖤐☆✮☆𖤐༻¨*:·

I mean this literally, your favorite game? Play it with your character!

Put your character in The Sims and see what they do. Play The Walking Dead, but make all the choices your character would make. Cards Against Humanity, but your character has to answer everything.

As weird as this sounds, it's a great way to get to know your characters better, and the best part is that you can do it with pretty much any game you like!

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls-The Winter Carnival Episode-Part 5

The Elder Gilmores (Richard, Emily, Trix, and Lorelai) sit down to dinner at The Inn. Trix bosses around the help (Michel), typical richie behavior, what's new. Lorelai appears mildly embarrassed. Emily rolls her eyes. Richard grins. That's it. We'll return to Thursday Night Dinner shortly, and see if there's some kind of epic public blowup, or whatever.

(Spoiler Alert: There isn’t. It’s incredibly lame 🥱)

"Throw A Snowball At A Band Geek" is such a fun detail. (see background). Our quartet of Rory, Jess, and Bratly & Butthead Forrester march on. Bratly pesters Jess incessantly because he will simply never have a moment of peace and quiet between the ages of 17-18. She inquires about the origin of his name, but he is unfortunately tight lipped about it. Jess requests that Clara play in traffic.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Rory confirms that Lane was not seeing things, but that she has no time to explain, because if she leaves the two man children unsupervised together in the playpen for too long, there's going to be a binky fight.

But I thought he loved to Play Sport With The Fellas? Clara, growing up means learning carnival games are rigged and Milk Bottle Toss is just another scheme to fund Taylor Doose's next vacation to the French Riviera. Jess threatens to throw Clara across the schoolyard. With that aim? Heh!

Sure, go ahead and watch him lose. But mark my words, one day, he's going to win. Oh, he is going to win big in life. He's going to win the life lottery living in his Philly penthouse while the rest of y'all are still living in Stars Hollow and buying tasteless snow cones that only come in one flavor to fund 80 year old Taylor Doose's trips to Fiji.

TRIPLE MILO SPEAK! UH DOLLUR! OKUH! HUH! I love that Jess is such a gentleman and he is always paying for Rory's whims. A hot dog, a throw at some milk bottles. I mean, she doesn't have a job or her own money, but still. Jess is suspicious that Rory had plans to attend the CarnivalGrift with Dean in his (previously intended) absence. Now why would he have a reason not to trust her? Not like she just quietly met up with Dean earlier in the episode and while she was snagged into that meeting quite unexpectedly, my personal opinion remains that she threw Jess under the bus, primarly by being so spineless and rolling over for Dean. You know. As per uszh. (the metaphorical bus, and not the literal bus that Milo asked AmyShermanPalladino to strike Jess dead with). Well. At least she fully admits to everything.

Like, I'm not saying this convo was anywhere near the slimiest thing Dean or Rory have ever done either alone or in pairs, but Jess can have a little Suspicion and Jealousy. You know. As a treat.

Hey Rory, could you move over just a skosh... get in front of those milk bottles...I want to play Throw A Ball At The Exhausting People Pleaser. I will charge the people Uh Dolluhr to play.

I'm pleased that Rory gave a full confession re: the coffee shop meeting. She gives Jess the usual "Are you mad" treatment (x3), but he seems pretty chill about it. Rory is definitely not used to this sort of query not being met with a Dean Forrester Rage-Isode.

I like to think this happened because Rory visualized Dean's face on those milk bottles, but I'm just a dreamer.

This cheap bear could have come from the same claw machine where Dean fished out the errant quarter to make Rory's bracelet.

"I'll name him Jess."

The 25 cents is what Rory and Lorelai tipped him for serving them dinner last night. Rory states her intentions to give Sad Pathetic Bear to Clara, Jess threatens to suffocate the child by shoving the plushie into her mouth. It's a blessing that Jess did not become a teen father. Back at TND, some mild awkardness ensues between the Haves and Have Nots (Sookie). Sookie has a rip in her shirt. Ha? Trix is moving to Hartford. I yawn. 10 great words are then strung together into a sentence.

Trix states she is in poor health. Richard insists that "Emily and I will tend to you day and night." Emily is displeased, gets petty, takes 15 minutes to cut a bean. Lorelai keeps her mouth shut completely, which makes me believe there may actually be a God.

Hell, if it weren’t for that disturbing interaction between her and Dean in her kitchen early in the episode (#SpiderGate), I might even haven given her a A for conduct. if I were issuing Episode Report Cards.

I should do that…

She did the thing where they said the title of the episode in the episode. I may have to add that square to my Bingo Card.

Time for homoerotic alleyway/hallway confrontation Part Deux

"Many word confuse. Where picture. Dean no read good."

I SWEAR TO GLOB I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GOING TO SAY THAT!

I think he means this literally. The words "Senior Class" are really tripping him up. Help the poor guy, Jess. This might finally be the year he passes 2nd grade. Love that AmyShermanPalladino writes such biting one liners for Jess but leaves Dean the scraps for his clap backs, it's a beautiful thing to behold.

Hello, Sad Pathetic Bear (Dean). "Getting" would imply he wasn't already there. J: "Let's just be friends?" D: "No thanks." J:"You don't think it's pathetically transparent? Rory is just taking pity on you, that's why she's suddenly interested in being your friend." There you go again using those big words on poor Dean.

Well which is it? I thought Jess only talked in monosyllabic grunts. D: Rory and I are just friends. Just like you and Rory were just friends. And look how it turned out for you. What is Dean actually implying here? Is he saying "Welp, she's your problem now". That would be pretty funny! Clara interrupts, ending not the first and certainly not the last sexually tense, homoerotic exchange between BeavJess and ButtDean.

I guess Jess was supposed to appear “threatening” in this scene, but to me it fell flat and was even a little confusing. My little skronklet is so cute when he’s trying to scare people! 🥹 Baby makes mean face! Tell Dean he can’t read! He totally not capable of brutal axe homocide!

🤭🪓👱🏻‍♀️🦢 Why I talk like caveman suddenly? In the last minute of the episode, Rory declares to Lorelai the relationship between herself, Jess and Dean just hunky dory. Lorelai has almost no comment on the matter except to refer to the boys as Cheech and Chong. She should try shutting up more often. It's quite refreshing. This was a pleasant episode. I liked it. The end. Here's my Episode Bingo Card. Not a winner.

Chapter 2 of Meeting the In Laws!

Contains: NSFW themes. Loving and fluff themes. 18+ only.

Thursday morning came. We packed our bags and donned our crow armor, leaving my crow mask in my bag. I made sure I had my poison vials on my hips and my arrows all accounted for while Lucanis counted his knives. Making sure he had exactly eight of them on him, which he then put on his person.

As we were heading to the Eluvian, we started saying goodbyes to everyone in the Lighthouse. Taash stopped me as Bellara pulled Lucanis to the side, talking to him.

“Trix, hold on.” Taash urged.

“Yeah, Taash?”

I had to crane my neck to look up at her, towering over me like a huge wyvern. Her long white braid hung down in front of her like broken chains, and those intense eyes staring down at me with a small amount of concern behind them. She was massive and glorious, and constantly scared the shit out of me. She could break me, and I’d honestly let her.

“Think you can handle going to meet the family? I mean, who's gonna be there if you pass out again? You know they make supplements for that?”

“You think you’re funny, huh?”

“I know I’m funny. Seriously though, are you going to be okay? These Crows… Sounds like shady shit. I mean, with everything still going on…”

“It’s important to Lucanis and I. Though, I understand your concern. Crows recently don't have the best track record.”

“Yeah well. Try to take it easy while you're there, if you can. Don’t overexert yourself. Emmerich won't be there to revive your ass.”

“Come on, I’ve been embarrassed enough! It’s bad enough you and Davrin make fun of me constantly for it, now Emmerich is playing Mother Hen because of you two.”

Emmerich piped up, rushing over and handing me a satchel of strong smelling plants. Manfred standing close by and peeking out from behind Emmerich.

Noooooooo…

“Take these herbs, Demitrix! Whenever you and Lucanis are about to have intercourse, chew on them thirty minutes before you start!”

I put my hood up and snatched the herbs from Emmerich.

“Thank you, Emmerich…”

“What do the herbs do? Keep him hard?” Taash inquired.

Kill me. Please, Creators. Fucking kill me.

He turned to Taash. “No! Hes young enough where that shouldn't be a problem. Although if that does happen, i have a remedy for that as well. No, These will help him combat the fainting if it remains an issue. There's a special chemical inside the plant that helps with-“”

“Alright, I’m leaving.” I quickly said, turning towards the Eluvian. “I didn’t realize you guys were just gonna talk about this right before we left.”

“Wait! I’m not done bullying you yet! I came up with new jokes! I have a list!” Taash laughed.

“You've been bullying me all week!” I yelled back.

“Remember! Thirty minutes before!” Emmerich giggled.

Manfeed only hissed at me.

“Yeah, what Manfred said.”

“Goodness! Manfred, I didn't even see you there!” Emmerich gasped.

Hissssss

Davrin stepped in, laughing.

“Enough, enough. Demitrix, are you sure about all of this? A place full of assassins. The very thought makes me uneasy. Not that I don’t trust your skills or Lucanis’s. I just… Don’t trust their intentions.” Davrin spoke with concern.

“I appreciate the concern, Dav. I know how the Antivan Crows work but I can’t say I don’t have any reserves about the whole thing. I have a really bad feeling about it. Like… something is lying in wait.” I explain.

“So Why go at all?” Davrin asks, tilting his head. “If you think it'll go sideways, why not bring all of us? I don’t think you should go by yourselves.”

“If it’s important to him, then it’s important to me. I want to go, but I am keeping myself open to the dangers of being around a bunch of high ranking Crows. Trust Lucanis and I to handle it.” I spoke with conviction.

I held my hands up, showing off the rune signatures painted on my nails.

“Besides, I have some precautions in place as well as antidotes. Trust me, I didn’t get this far being an Antivan Crow by chasing tail and partying. I am from Viago de Rivas cell. We are a paranoid bunch, to be sure. You’d be too if you knew the effects that some poisons do… Even after you’ve been given an antidote.”

“What is that?” Davrin said, taking my hand and looking at my nails. “Are these runes painted on you?”

“It's a special kind of paint that has a very tiny pinch of refined lyrium in it. A rune symbol is painted on my nails to dip into drinks and liquids. If the paint feels anything corrosive or poisonous, then the paint will peel off into the drink and melt into the liquid. Coloring it black.”

“That's… Really handy to have”

“That’s why it's an Antivan Crow special. Only for Viago’s faction.” I say, showcasing a smirk. “I am not going into this meeting unless I know I can defend myself.”

Davrin smiled at me and crossed his arms.

“I knew that pretty boy face was hiding some cleverness.” Davrin joked with a chuckle.

I laughed along with him.

“This pretty face has always been clever.”

“How do we contact you? In case we need you guys? I know this is important but we need to be able to contact you in case… things happen. It always does.”

Bellara bounced over, Lucanis rejoining my side.

“With this!” She yelled, holding out a pair of crystal necklaces.

“What is this?” I asked.

She then put it around my neck and then around Davrin.

“These are sending crystals! I found them just sitting around in Minrathous on a bench near a bar! Crazy right? Anyway, if you speak directly into the necklace, the other recipient will hear it and be able to respond to you! As If you guys are standing like… how you are now!”

Davrin looked at me and then lifted the necklace to his mouth.

“In peace, Vigilance.”

Davrins voice came through the crystal, clear.

“Damn! Leave it to Bellara to find a solution to everything.” I said proudly.

Bellara giggled. “I figured after… well, it shouldn't be a problem now! If we need to talk, we can do so easily now!”

I turned towards the Lucanis, tucking the necklace into my leathers.

“Are you ready to go, amore?”

“Very ready. Let us hurry.”

We said our last goodbyes to everyone before going through the mirror leading out into the Crossroads. We got to the Treviso mirror and as the Eluvian closed behind us, the smell of clove and sea salt air hit my face. The soft scents of incense floated from the nearby chantry and I thought longingly of my balcony back home, and with a groan, I started carrying off our bags to the street.

The streets were quiet with a few locals wandering around, the gulls squawking as they flew overhead.

“Wait here, I will find us a carriage.” I spoke up, putting my stuff down. “Can you watch our stuff until I come back?”

He nodded.

“Be safe, amore. I will wait for you.”

I smiled and went off to find a carriage driver while Lucanis stayed to guard our luggage. He's not a social bird and I could probably get us a cheap ride if I “flaunted” my job title. He's not the one for flaunting, more intimidation.

Time rolled by as I went searching and asking around for where a carriage service was and as I finished up talking with a local, something flew by me, and then something was falling softly to the ground. A single black raven feather that shone brilliantly with an irresistible shimmer.

I quickly sprang into action and looked towards the roofs quickly, diving into the shadows of the alleyways. Quickly, I pulled my bow out and notched an arrow, aiming towards the rooftops where the bird flew from. A shadow was seen looking down at me, cape fluttering in the wind. A shiny crow mask adorning their face along with poofy curls peeking out of their hood. They watched me before they turned and disappeared from view.

I see. They are making sure that Lucanis’s and I are on our way. If they meant harm, they would have shot an arrow or threw a dagger. Quiet and subtle. This was loud and a message. “We are watching.”

After taking a minute to look around and nothing happening, I relaxed, taking a breath of relief. I walked over to the feather and picked it up, inspecting it. The feather was marvelously well kept and had no signs of wear or weathering. This was a pet raven, One that was spoiled.

It’s really pretty.. I should give it to Luca! It fits with his look! I always love giving him little trinkets like these.

After tracking down the carriage the local directed me to, I rode it back to Lucanis and helped him with our stuff.

“Luca, I caught a glimpse of an Antivan Crow when I was getting the carriage earlier. They are making damn sure that we know they are watching us.” I spoke in a hushed tone.

“They were making sure we were on our way. Illario is being impatient.”

“This is normal then?”

“For Illario, Of course.” He chuckled.

Lucanis looked focused. This probably felt like he was on a job so he was acting accordingly. Short conversations, his eyes darting around in a cautious manner.

“I have a present for you!”

“For me?” Lucanis said, surprised.

“Yeah! Here.”

I placed the feather in his hand and watched his face, but he seemed confused.

“What is this? Why are you giving me a feather?” He asked, perplexed.

“Oh. I figured you would like it. I thought it was pretty and it fits you… so I just… Nevermind, It was stupid, I’ll take it back and-“

“Don't take it back, I love it.”

“Don't take it back? You seemed so-“

“I LOVE it. I was only confused about why a feather and why this one. Now that I know, It is mine. I want to keep it.”

I smiled and watched as he fiddled with it on his clothes. As we got into the carriage together, I saw he tucked it right behind the vials that are strapped to his chest. I smiled to myself and blushed at him displaying it on himself.

As we started on our carriage ride there, I leaned my head on Lucanis’s shoulder as we rode off. Looking up at him and smiling, I grab a hold of his hand, intertwined my fingers with his and relaxed into him. He must have been tense, for his shoulders lowered and his body relaxed as I squeezed his hand.

“Nervous, mi amore? They’re your family.”

“A family of Crows.”

“Fair, but aren't you more familiar with them? I mean, at least with Illario. They love you-“

“I am not worried for me.”

“You're… worried about me? Please, I can handle a few Crows, darling.”

“I worry about what they have planned for us. For you.”

He cupped my face in his hands, kissing my forehead.

“I don’t want them to scare you away from me.”

“Lucanis…” I purred, holding his hand that was cupping my face. “I love you. They can’t scare me away from you. It’s you and I now. Plus our little family.”

He searched my eyes for a moment, his eyes shaky and searching for something in me. Maybe doubt? Any sign of apprehension? Either way, he must have not found it. He began to calm and leaned his forehead against mine, taking a deep breath, his eyes closed. He squeezed my hand tighter and then pulled me in for a deep kiss, holding the back of my head gently.

I melted so easily to his lips locking onto mine, and closed my eyes. Just letting the world melt away and all of its problems to just Lucanis and I. I enjoyed his romantic heart, even if I was still not used to it. His romance made my chest warm and almost made me feel so… shy. So vulnerable. I was used to more primal urges. This kind of care and love… It was foreign to me.

“I love you, Luca…” I longingly sigh.

“I love you too, Trix…” He said a similar tone.

I kept my face pressed against his, holding us like that for a while before Lucanis kissed my forehead and relaxed, looking out the window. His eyes seemed to focus elsewhere. I could only guess his family was on his mind. More worry. My love’s mind was vast and hard to pin down and it was hard at times to see what exactly was on his mind. I decided to do the same as him and looked out my window, watching as we passed through the Antivan countryside.

Autumn was in full swing in Antiva. Comforting colors of reds and oranges were dotted amongst the rolling hills of the grasslands, blotches of yellowing grass that surrounded the fields of the farms that passed by made only miss the fresh green of spring. Farmers were out with their scythes, getting crops and loading them into carts for the yearly harvest before settling down for winter.

The sea in the distance glittered with the afternoon sun, making it look like a portal to the Maker had opened in the water. It was so tempting to swim in that holy looking water, but given recent events, decided against it.

I wondered to myself whether or not the family gathering would allow me to sneak away to peek at nature. I also haven't swam in a while, and it was still early enough to do so without it being too cold. I lamented that I haven't had the chance to go swimming, being busy with the Veilguard and you know… The whole world ending business. Maybe Where we go will have a nice lake, or a small pool? One could only hope. After a bit, I just fell asleep, dreaming of being away from everything.

A couple of hours passed before the driver spoke up, spooking me out of sleep.

“We are nearing the lake house now, sers!”

“Good.” Lucanis said curtly.

I looked at Lucanis, half awake still and groggy. My hair, draping in front of my face.

“Lake house…?”

“Good evening, Sleeping Beauty.” He laughed.

“Fuck off.” I chuckled back, punching his shoulder. “We’re going to a lake house?”

“Yes, Lago de Novo.”

Oh fuck.

“Isn’t that where…?”

“‘The Great Betrayal’ happened? Yes.”

Great. They are sending a message. Hurt Lucanis and you'll be killed the same way the traitor Talon was. Lago de Novo was where a Talon betrayed and killed most of the other Talons of the Antivan Crows. Dealing a severe blow to the order. While we managed to pick ourselves back up from the incident, people are still weary of talking about it. Especially in front of Viago and Teia. Now, I am about to go there to meet them.

“Boy, your folks really know how to make a man feel welcome…” I jested.

“You know The Crows are dramatic. Illario especially.”

“Yeah well they don't scare me. You know that. Just. Makes me nervous.”

Lucanis shuffled in his seat uneasily for a second, before looking at me with big soft eyes.

“Demitrix… You… You know I am not good at this. For you… I want to try. You DO know if you need to talk to me or tell me something… I will always listen. Right?”

“Of course…? Where did that come from?” I looked at him, confused.

“You…tend to keep things hidden. I just… I want you to trust me. I don't want you to keep it inside. Right now, this level of trust is crucial. You understand?” He said delicately.

“Same goes to you, love.”

“Trix-“

The carriage driver stopped abruptly and hopped down.

“We are here, sers!”

Lucanis gave me a “we will talk about this later” look and I felt my face flush with embarrassment as he got out.

Wow, Demitrix. Way to piss off Luca. Just fucking talk to him!

My fear got the better of me, however, and I got out cracking jokes just as before.

Lucanis and I then grabbed our things and headed over to the black gondola waiting for us by the docks.

“Oh I can't wait! I'll go swimming! Or I could go for a walk? You could cone too! Anything you feel comfortable with! Either way, I am going swimming, autumn be damned.”

Lucanis just seemed to watch me talk as he loaded our things in the boat, a small smile on his face.

“You have always looked adorable when you are excited.” He cooed, walking over and kissing my cheek. “I’ll do whatever you want to do after dinner and introductions. Crows are patient but not for other Crows.”

I nodded at him, keeping a lid on my excitement for now. Lucanis gave a soft chuckle at me and nodded at the gondola driver to start moving across the lake. While Lucanis sat, perfectly poised and noble-like, I dipped my hand into the water, feeling the cold refreshing water against my hand.

“You know this lake is full of carnivorous fish, right?” Lucanis piped up.

“What?!” I yelled, yanking my hand out. “Really?!”

“No.” He smirked before covering his mouth. “Just wanted to see your reaction.”

“You're an ass! No sex for you, tonight.”

“Demitrix!” He barked.

“What?! You tricked me!” I yelled back.

“We are not alone!”

He motioned to the gondola driver.

“And? I'm sure the gondola driver has had lots of sex! Probably have a lot of kids! From having sex!”

“DEMITRIX.” He yelled, exasperated

“What?! Tell him, Have you had lots of sex?” I ask the Driver.

Lucanis just put his head in his hands,

sighing loudly. The driver just stayed quiet and kept his head bowed but I saw his body start to shake as if he was holding back laughter. I gave a smug grin to Lucanis before sitting back.

As we got closer to the shore, we saw a familiar woman in a long black silk dress seemingly waiting by the shore. She had a slit in her dress showing off her long smooth leg and her hair down and poofed out, her long curls swaying in the breeze. As soon as we came up on shore, she rushed over and greeted Lucanis.

“Lucanis! My dear! Glad to see you are still doing well!” She chirped, kissing both his cheeks. “You know, you could always visit, let us know how you are.”

I recognized her as Andarateia Cantori, the Seventh Talon who was as beautiful as she was deadly. She used both her beauty and her assassin skills equally well and quickly gained respect and fear in equal measure within the Crows.

She turned and looked at me, smiling opening her arms out wide to me and pulling me into a hug. I happily greeted her back, keeping my guard up at the same time

“Demitrix! It's been a long time! I can't wait to get to know you more over this weekend. See what Lucanis sees in you and what you see in Mr Grumpy over there. I also hope you've been treating him well.”

“I hope so! Otherwise, Lucanis has some explaining to do.” I laughed, grabbing a hold of Lucanis’s hand. “I cant wait to meet everyone and get closer to the family. This is obviously very important to Lucanis, and what can I say? I am a sucker for those big sad brown eyes.”

“I do not have big sad brown eyes.” Lucanis growled.

“The cutest pair~” I purred.

Teia smiled, giggling a bit.

“You two are so cute! I cannot wait for you to meet everyone else, Demitrix. Lucanis had mentioned that you loved swimming! I am sure you are very excited to be here. We could go swimming together if you wished.”

“Are you kidding? I’d love that! I was over the moon when Lucanis surprised me with it! I have loved the water since I was small!”

Teia smiled a bit brighter. More genuinely than before.

“I am glad you are so excited.” She snickered.

I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Lucanis looked away towards the lake surrounding us. The wind blowing at his hair and armor, making him look like a moody, elegant painting. I must have been staring at him for s minute and not paying attention to Teia because she stepped in front of me, looking at Lucanis and then looking back at me with a mischievous smirk on her ruby red lips.

“You are getting distracted, dear~” She teased.

“Ah! Sorry, hes just… very distracting.~” I sighed longingly, smiling as I watched him. “Verrrry distracting.”

“Hey! Come back to me! You can look at Lucanis later! Come! Let's meet the family!” She chirped quickly, hugging my arm and pulling me in. “Viago! Illario! Lucanis and Demitrix are here!”

Lucanis walked slowly behind us as we approached the building, almost looking like a large dark-furred wolf, watching over me. I looked back at Lucanis, whose intense eyes wandered the villa, looming close to me. We walked inside where I marveled at the look of the place, almost feeling like I was in an Antivan storybook. We were standing in a large open foyer decorated with black marble with dark cherry colored wood accents. Green satin curtains decorated the windows and clung to the floor like a dress. Dark green carpets, Antivan rugs and runners laid across the floors. Leading to a grand set of wooden doors with the Antivan Crows logo on it. A balcony hung over the grand twin doors with silky green banners hanging from the railing. The floors were the same color of dark cherry as well. The hardwood was not even creaking as we stepped in, The only thing heard was Teia’s heels clicking on the floor as she walked forward, yelling for everyone.

“She's very loud and quite flamboyant. I like her. It'll be nice not being the only elf in a house full of humans as well.” I whispered towards Lucanis.

“I knew you’d like her.” Lucanis said with a smile.

She came back over to me and grabbed my hands, holding them up, her heartwood colored eyes staring back into mine.

“Let me be the first to welcome you, Demitrix. You must know, I didn’t think anyone would ever come to us on Lucanis’s arm.”

“What is that supposed to-” Lucanis started to say.

“I am so overjoyed that it is you. His savior and now his lover. Almost like a storybook!”

I smiled at her kind words, but the back of my head itched. I knew this felt way too friendly compared to what Lucanis told me back at the Lighthouse, but I kept smiling, holding her hands back. Part of me was almost upset at the fact that I couldn’t trust her honeyed words.

Deep down, we are all Crows. A suspicious lot, but that's just how we survive.

“Oh!” I chirped. “Before I forget, Lucanis will need coffee soon. He hasn't had it for a minute.”

“Did I hear that my Cousin is home?”

I looked up at the balcony to see Illario with a glass of red wine in his hand. His hair slicked back and a black, opened and pressed button up shirt with a green sash across his waist and black dress pants.

“Hello Illario.” Lucanis said plainly, his eyes looking Illario up and down. “Do you still not know how to button up a shirt?”

“Ha! Youre funny.” Illario said, leaning on the balcony. “ Does your lover?”

He gestures at my Crow outfit, my chest and the top part of my stomach exposed. Playing up my confidence. I spin in place on my heel and toss my scarf.

“It’s my signature! I’m a lure. A siren~.”

“He can actually pull off the look.” Lucanis smirked.

“Ouch! Such sass! I hope you don’t let him talk to you like that, Demitrix.” Illario laughed, finishing off his wine. “I’ll be down in a minute. Viago should be there momentarily.”

Illario disappeared down an upper hallway and almost as if on cue, We see the large twin doors opening and out walks Viago in a nice suit with black gloves. His icy cold eyes narrowed as he walked in. A beautiful looking Death Adder snuggly wrapped around his arm.

Lucanis put his hand gently on my back, rubbing it as Viago approached us. Teia went over to him, planting a big kiss on his cheek and taking his arm that was free of the cane and snake.

“Hello, love! You remember Demitrix, right?”

She leaned in and whispered something in his ear and let go of him, gesturing towards me. Viago stepped forward, his gaze sharp and locked onto me. As he stepped over to me, I stepped forward as well, Lucanis grabbing my hand.

“Demitrix.” Viago sighed, a bit of annoyance floated with my name. “Good to see you again. I look forward to getting to know you.”

I gulped but shook the dread away by squeezing Lucanis’s hand and letting go of it. Smiling, I held out my hand.

“Good to see you, sir! You and Teia look amazing this evening. You both and… Arainai.” I said nervously.

“Lucanis must have told you about him. Yes. The snake that nearly killed me in this manor. The only thing that ever came close to killing me.” He spoke with a lowered tone, his eyes narrowing. “As for Teia. She always looks amazing. However, Be respectful. She is still your Talon. Do not ogle at her.”

I sweated a bit and put my hand back down, letting out a forced chuckle.

“Don't worry, I have my own lover to ogle at.”

“Yes.” His eyes shot over to Lucanis. “You seem enraptured by him. I do hope that you aren't getting distracted from your contract.”

“We arent, Viago.” Lucanis spat sharply.

“Just something to keep in mind. We shall see how you both fare in the coming days. So far, Demitrix hasn't had a good track record.”

Lucanis went to say something but I raised my hand slightly looking at him. He closed his lips, and glared at Viago instead, letting me speak.

“I…promise I will not disappoint.”

Viago turned and rejoined Teias side, staring at me with a mixed look. Almost hopeful? Teia gripped onto Viagos arm and smiled apologetically at me.

“I hope not.” Viago growled under his breath.

Illario popped into the doorway, rushing over to hug me.

“Hello, little bird! So you are the one, huh? The one that managed to claim that icy heart of his?”

“Icy? Not at all! He's a sweetheart!” I joked, trying to be as charming as I could be. “The kindest man I have ever met! The most handsome one too! I am the luckiest man in Thedas!”

“Demitrix…” Lucanis hushed in an almost bashful tone.

“Oh! This is a new face and voice for you, Lucanis! Demitrix, you must be a miracle worker! Look! He's blushing!” He laughed.

“Illario. Quit it.”

“Ugh! You are no fun, Cousin! Demitrix, what do you even see in him? You seem like you'd be my type. Mind switching to me for an evening?~”

I blushed brightly, and nervously chuckled. Lucanis got between us, his arm wrapping around me and pulling me into his body.

“He is mine.”

Illario shot a smug look towards Lucanis, before peeking down at me.

“As you wish, Cousin.”

Two 2-hour drop-in sessions will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you have or troubleshoot your approach. There will be a Discord server set up only for participants, where Trix and Sinister will be able to provide coaching and advice over the five weeks of the course. Each workshop will be recorded for attendees to watch back, or catch up on the course in their own time.

Add yourself as attending on Fetlife!

The schedule is (all times GMT):

Sunday February 25th, 6-8pm - The Basics

What erotic hypnosis is and how it works. The general structure of a trance, and a solid grounding in the techniques required for starting to play. A thorough exploration of how to negotiate such scenes along with the consent and safety issues. A framework on which you can build.

Sunday March 3rd, 6-8pm - Improving Inductions

Exploring the wide variety of ways we can get someone into trance. How you can make the induction a part of your play. How to adapt your approach for your subject. The principles of how and why inductions work, so you can improvise them on-the-fly.

Thursday March 7th, 8-10pm - Drop-in #1

Come by at any point with questions or requests for demonstration, or let us help you with any issues you've been having.

Sunday March 10th, 6-8pm - Suggestions that Stick

Looking at how you can best frame suggestions to have the biggest impact. The best ways to ensure that they're as safe and reliable as possible, and how to adjust things when they don't quite go according to plan. How you can use language and framing to have long-lasting, powerful hypnotic effects.

Sunday March 17th, 6-8pm - Bringing it All Together

A study of how deepeners can be best used in your play, and the role they have in enhancing the trances you construct. Then looking at how to make the hypnotic experience as a whole feel coherent and easy. Then we'll share our principles for flow in our play - how and when to break the rules we've given you so far, and how they can make for more flexible, effortless hypnosis.

Sunday March 24th, 6-8pm - Drop-in #2

A chance to ask any final questions you have, or again work through any techniques you need help with.

Can't make one of the dates? No worries, the recordings of each class will be released well in advance of the next one, so you'll always be able to catch up.

who: @mothazeri​ where: nye party outside the gatsby room

There had not been much time to catch up since River arrived home late at night on Wednesday after being released from the treatment center. To be honest, most of Thursday was spent sleeping in their own bed again. Snuggled under the blankets with Ziggy, Stardust, and Trix with visits from both Bowie and Fox when they took breaks from the shop to come say hi. Friday they spent eating and visiting with some of their closest people Moth, Yas, Fox, Trix, and Bowie. But that still didn’t leave room for much individual time. So when Moth asked if they were able to if they could take some time away from everyone at some point at the party, they of course said yes. 

The party was a blast but there was certainly a lot going on everywhere they looked. It was starting to get to be a bit too much. Paranoia was setting in for no reason at all and a static like buzzing running through their nervous system. They nudged Moth to get their attention before they signed while they spoke. “Hey you want to go for a walk?” River asked first, then motioned around the place. “All this is getting to be a lot, I need to take a break.” If River was overstimulated they could only imagine what Moth was dealing with.

Trixany trashes Torghast

It's still Throwback Thursday! Meanwhile, Trixany also drinking at Hero's Rest in Bastion...

Trixany: Actually, the fact I can never sleep with Denathrius IRL stresses me out sometimes. Steward! Another round, and this time? Leave the tray.

Sharpen: *drunker than ever* WOOOooOo

Trixany: Jailer? More like jail her. I'm down, that is one large, evil man.

Sharpen: Yes! Say it!

Trixany: And they put a collar on him too. Also, how much kink did they manage to cram in that tower anyway...

Sharpen: Uh huh? Yeah?

Trixany: ...Without turning us all on. If boobs or butts had been involved with all those spiked collars and chains, we all would have been done!

Sharpen: Ho man, she's going for it!

Trixany: I don't believe for a minute that half the people we even rescued from Torghast were just 'kidnapped' from nearby and 'got lost' in the tower. Amirite?

Sharpen: Trixany, keepin it real.

Trixany: Why else would you ever go to the Maw? Another thing, the Painsmith shoulda been a lot more fun.

Sharpen: *snerks*

Trixany: And I fully admit I would have changed places with that chained-up guy, the Runecarver, in a heartbeat. Yes, Jailer, come on over to our special steel platform and taunt me with sweet whispers of all the times we misbehaved together in the past. In that breathy baritone of yours. Oh please, release me from this terrible torment!

Sharpen: Hookaay. No more re-fills for you, Trix. *puts a hand over her cup*

Trixany: I'm angry! That whole zone shoulda been far sexier than what we were given in-game. Were the devs sleeping?!

Sharpen: Look Miss Angry Drunk, you've gone too far. Anyway, I was sure a Denathrius joke was coming. They were allies after all.

Trixany: Are you kidding me? Denathrius AND the Jailer were collaborating in this secret, evil cabal and nobody understands why Sylvanas joined their side?

Sharpen: This is SO less hot now.

Trixany: Who do you even think told them about Kael'thas in the first place, then had Denathrius get him shirtless, and in chains? Then ontop of that, of course when Nathanos got killed, he got sent straight to her. Sylvie did some crazy 4D chess to get the perfect Shadowlands man-harem!! She's the one who won that expansion. She won!!!

Sharpen: I think maybe we should be posting this dark-but-thirsty headcanon over on Ao3.

Trixany: Do it!! This app. IS A PRISON!!

Today’s mix:

INCredible Sound Of Drum'n'Bass Mixed By Goldie by Goldie 2000 Drum n Bass / Jungle

The second disc of this mix is pretty fucking good, but disc one sounds, quite literally, out of this goddamn world. Goldie's first set here is like a portal into some kind of cellar-dwelling, grainy, black-and-white, dystopian underworld where uneasiness is perpetually felt in the air because there's some kind of indescribable chaos that's both unpreventable and unpredictable always lurking around somewhere. I really can't say that I've ever heard a dnb and jungle mix that possesses quite the vibe like the first disc of this mix does. And shit on Goldie's lack of mixing skills all you want, but the absolute frenzy that he's able to cultivate with his transition between Jonny L's "See Red" and Ram Trilogy's "No Reality" is just fucking insane to me. Plus, dude's selection is par excellence; nary a dull moment.

Pandemonious and explosive drum breaks, loud and crashing hi-hats, and malevolently wicked, humming sub-bass frequencies. There's so many cool things you can do with that formula and Goldie's here to show you some of his absolute favorite twists and turns. The INCredible Sound Of Drum'n'Bass (and jungle!), indeed.

Listen to CD1 here. Listen to CD2 here.

Highlights:

CD1:

Doc Scott - "Here Comes The Drums" Alex Reece - "Pulp Fiction" Digital - "Space Funk" Deep Blue - "Thursday" Doc Scott - "Unofficial Ghost" Jonny L - "See Red" Ram Trilogy - "No Reality" Shy FX - "Bambaata Back To The Core (Dillinja Remix)" Fresh & Vegas - "Otto's Way" Grooverider - "Rainbows Of Colour" Souljah - "Fade 2 Black"
