Note

(Thanks for such a detailed response!! It’s only right that I return the favour now :3 (I haven’t written an interaction for Billy yet so this’ll be interesting😂. Your OCs are so diverse! Reading their bios again after seeing your response was real food for thought).

Thais

Vane will low-key grow to adore the socks of Thais. He would never say it, show it, or imply it in any way, but the girl’s love of flowers and helpful nature would be something he would cherish. If they were paired together in science club, Vane would subtly tutor Thais in all he knows about herbology by dropping small hints. It’s not often someone shows an interest in flora from an academic perspective. As reclusive and private Vane is, he is a well of knowledge that will overflow to the first person he deems a friend.

Ceridwen would appreciate Thais. It’s the little details like asking how she is and teaching her a spot of potion making that would really solidify Thais in Ceridwen’s good books. Thais’s gentle presence in a school full of villains would be welcome respite, and Ceridwen would probably go to her if she was anxious about something.

Billy isn’t interested is Thais - she’s a nerd and a weakling in his books - but she does have some traits he’d enjoy. I can picture Billy bird whistling, trying to mimic the calls of all the avian life in the woods, when all of a sudden he hears someone singing. Hidden behind a tree, he would gawk as Thais sang in amongst the flowers. Billy may grow to be a secret admirer of her dulcet tones.

Basil sees Thais as another face in the crowd. There’s nothing about her that jumps out at him in particular - she’s a studious and kind soul with a knack for singing and gardening. Granted, such a person is quite out of place at NRC. Perhaps the snake can exploit her good nature? If she wants to play with his hair, or study his snake anatomy, he welcomes it…for a favour.

Blake

Vane makes sure to keep all his hallucinogenic flora and fungi safely out of harms way when it comes to Blake. The bunny boy can see phantoms? He doesn’t want to accidentally make his visions worse by him breathing in pollen and spores. There is also no chance in the Underworld that Vane would ever have a ‘resting buddy’. His god sisters told him he talks in his sleep, and he wouldn’t want the mortification of Blake hearing something he said while not in his wits. He would probably avoid Blake, briefly nodding in greeting if they passed each other.

Ceridwen would be open to a friendship with Blake. Being a reader, she would jump at the chance to rant and rave about the stuff they’ve both read, and would appreciate the extra help with magical history. Her thirst to find logic in magic knows no bounds, so if she can grasp the root of magic, she might be that much closer to going home. Ceridwen would also love Blake’s ears. Growing up, her favourite animal was a rabbit. (And…if his dad is a writer she will demand an autograph!)

Billy wants nothing to do with Blake. He can see phantoms? Psh. Billy grew up watching sages ward off highland ghosts, and following Will O’ Wisps through the forests. If Blake has to talk to Billy - be it because they’re in a group project together, or paired for PE - Billy likely wouldn’t say anything besides grumbling short instructions and opinions.

Basil thinks Blake and Thais are one in the same. The two seem to always be in each other’s circle, so he treats Blake the same way he does her. However, there’s definitely going to be some food-chain teasing going on since Blake is a rabbit. On the off chance Blake didn’t run away, Basil would probably snatch him up with his tail, or stick his forked tongue out whilst he’s talking. If Sei has to step in, Basil will drop Blake and pat him on the back innocently.

Onaga

Vane is outta there after the first weird question Onaga asks. The caterpillar can understand wanting to discover new things, but within reason! Vane is not completely heartless, though. If Onaga is caught out in direct sunlight, Vane will make a flower nearby grow tall enough to shade the eel. Interactions will be limited to brief nods of greeting, and short whisperings on how best to grow a certain plant in science club.

Ceridwen is most uneasy around him. Her fear of entrapment came out when she learned of Onaga’s unique magic. Since he’s in Octavinelle, Ceridwen will try to be as cordial as she can towards him since they’ll be seeing a lot of each other in Monstro Lounge. Ceridwen’s own poor eye sight is something she can sympathise with. (If, on the off chance she was trapped inside one of Onaga’s spheres, she would have a meltdown.)

Billy eats eels like Onaga for breakfast. If the eel’s eye sight is so bad he can’t see a 6ft 4inch bear right in front of him, and has to get closer to Billy, I hope Onaga has a strong stomach. Staring is considered a challenge where Billy comes from. Expect Onaga to be grabbed by the lapels of his blazer and raised effortlessly off his feet until he’s face to face with Billy. Then, after Onaga blinks (and effectively concedes), he’ll be dropped and the Billy will forget all about him.

Basil takes pity on Onaga. Not being able to stay out in the sun, and being almost blind, can’t be easy. Basil can’t imagine not being in the warmth of the sun. It’s like ecstasy to a cold-blooded beastman like himself. Granted, Basil will find Onaga’s staring and mumbling unsettling at first, but will mistake Onaga’s learned behaviour of sticking close to people as making a new lackey, and essentially tease and ask favours of the eel as much as the next person.

Xeron

Vane would be tolerant of Xeron since he’s quite reserved. If going into company is unavoidable, Vane prefers being around people who don’t mind being quiet, or don’t feel pressured to keep up a conversation. Even if it’s awkward silence at first, knowing the other party isn’t phased is comforting. However, if the topic of plants (particularly getting exotic ones from Xeron’s motherland) came up, Vane could be brought out of his shell. Much like Thais, Vane’s shared admiration for plant life would probably be a good way to bond with Xeron.

Ceridwen is neutral when it comes to Xeron. Nothing he does really speaks to her, but she is impressed by his dedication to martial arts. Though severely out of practice, Ceridwen used to dabble in combat sport herself. Regaining her strength is something she’s been trying to find time for. Maybe Xeron becoming a martial arts teacher is a good way for them to get close?

Billy isn’t one to turn down a fight, and he certainly wouldn’t bring a weapon to a fist fight. Where’s the fairness in that? Working in Harveston, and honing his skills in highland sports, has built him up and made him a worthy opponent to Xeron. If Xeron can hold his own in a fight, sans magic, he might just earn Billy’s respect. However, Billy probably wouldn’t be open to talking about himself unless it was in a sporting context.

Basil will prefer to avoid Xeron. If he’s in the mood, maybe a brawl would be fun. Basil is the strongest out of all his siblings, and finding a good wrestling partner - competition - is on his to-do list. But Xeron’s volatility in battle, regardless of whether he can control it or not, has Basil’s serpentine senses tingling.

(I’m going to leave it at 4 OCs. I love all of them, but the ones I chose to write interactions for, I feel, we’re more fleshed out and I had a better sense of what to put. Thanks for your reply to my question though ☺️☺️ I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and getting to know your characters!)

Heya!! I loved your ask of Thais and Vane! I’m just reading my way through your oc list at the moment and I’m curious about what our ocs would think about each other. 💝

Hello, luv~!!

AAAAAAAAA GLAD YOU LIKED MY LITTLE ASK 💖!!!

And apologies because my OC list is.... very much not updated orz Hopefully, that will be mended soon

Now, about what my OCs think about yours~

-- --

Vane Millingwood

Thais Admante: Respected upperclassman she appreciates very much!! She admires him and vibes with the tending to plants and self-image issues asdff If they become friends, it's definitely through nature. Also, I noticed they're dorm mates AND club mates!

Blake O'Hare-Hill: He probably gets word of Vane through Thais. Blake thinks he's a bit too shy, but who is he to speak when bunny is super quiet. He treats Vane politely when they have to do chores around the dorm together. My bunny also likes a good rest under the shade of a tree~ A friendship could be possible, yes. Or even something simple like being "resting buddies", Vane is free to join him under a tree if he spots Blake

Onaga Sei: my eel boy probably sees the least of Vane, only when they're in club do they see each other. Sei likes to explore the world, and Vane appears to be someone that keeps to himself very tightly (aka not leaving his room/dorm much). One thing's for sure, Sei will be very interested in Vane's anatomy! He'd be like "caterpillar, merfolk...caterpillar-folk?" he doesn't know how to explain it fdks but he's curious to learn about all that. Polite, but please excuse any invasive or weird questions he might ask.

Xeron Bhatt: another one that knows of Vane through Thais because Xe's with her at all times. A serious stern fae, politely greets Vane if they cross paths. If Vane gets used to his presence around Thais, they could become a small group of friends/acquaintances. Xe likes nature and can happily bring Millingwood some tropical plants from his hometown if he's interested. They could sit in silence, but the silence probably feels awkward due to both of them being a bit awkward. Still, I can see them becoming friends!

Koron Admante: this one knows him as "the caterpillar guy". They've probably shared classes through the years, maybe even been teammates a couple times? Koron has good opinions of the boy, but would like him to be more outspoken. Their relationship is probably just that of classmates. Koron is on the loud side, so that's probably why Vane keeps some distance from him.

Jet Fletcher: He's never seen someone like Vane, to be frank. Like Sei, is curious about the type of bestfolk(? he is, but Jet will research on his own. Fletcher treats him politely, but that's it. This boy is serious, two-faced, quick to anger, I'm sure Vane can feel something is off with this 1st year. Thankfully, they're dorms away from each other. Jet has yet to find a "use" for Vane. Until then, he will let Millingwood be.

Zion Oum: This one, this one!! I can very much see Zion becoming friends with Vane! Zion is quiet, but knows how to speak his mind and quell the nerves he may get when speaking in public. He's overall very chill and welcoming. He's curious and, if Thais recommends Vane as someone to ask about plants, he will heed the advice. Always polite, always calm and patient, always respectful of Vane's boundaries. If Vane struggles doing a daily task, Zion is already working on an invention to help him.

Tzuriel: Took one look at Vane and immediately figured out a lot of things about the boy. For Tzuriel, it's get answers first, then see if he asks questions. This boy hacked into school records and got all information he needed about Vane. But no one needs to know that~ He will greet Vane all smiles and friendliness... But you can feel that, right? That cold and calculating aura coming from Tzu? Yeah, keep your distance, Vane, it's better that way. Like Jet, Tzuriel has yet to find something about Vane that would pique his interest to go pester the shy boy.

~~~ ° ~~~

Ceridwen Christides

Thais Adamante: Sympathizes with her due to also being thrown into NRC out of nowhere. Thais likes helping others, so she's happy to lend a hand to Ceridwen with anything she may struggle with. Sees the girl often when in the science club and helping Crewel (Thais sometimes helps the professor when she can), so she's always sure to greet her and ask how she's doing. She will teach Ceridwen how to brew defensive potions if asked. She's amazed by how Ceridwen found a way to protect herself with something made by her own hands, very clever and creative!

Blake O'Hare-Hill: Oh, a potential reading partner and someone with whom to analyze story details? If Ceridwen needs someone to tutor her with magical history, Blake is her guy! Will approach her only if he sees she's reading one of his favorite books, be it fantasy or real history books. Treats her with respect and in a friendly manner. He would like to be friends!! ...but how can he do that...

Xeron Bhatt: This awkward boy will take THE LONGEST time to come near her. In fact, it would be her the one who needs to approach him. Worry not, like Sei, he will answer anything she's curious about or needs help with. He's aware he looks intimidating to some, tries to keep himself down to not be perceived. Xe wishes not to bother the girl, so he's happy not being too acquainted.

Onaga Sei: He sees her around Octavinelle and the Lounge often, but prefers to keep his distance. He is aware he isn't... the most normal looking person. The last thing he'll want to do is scare the girl and make her even more afraid of this new world. If approached, he gives her a curt nod and answers whatever she may ask him, but nothing more, nothing less. and if he sees her in trouble... he will do as much as he can to help her out of it! Just let him see her embroidery, that will be a surefire way to befriend him!

Koron Adamante: One of the 3rd years she can approach for help without being afraid of having to give something in exchange. Koron is friendly, open, on the extroverted side, smart. Really, if she needs help with anything, he's happy to help as much he can! He understands the stress she may be going through, won't approach right away, will let her come over when she feels like it or needs aid. Treats her the same way he treats Thais and his underclassmen.

Jet Fletcher: He likes the way she thinks and searches for logic within magic. Maybe she can be useful in the future? Better keep a closer eye on her. She's with Ashengrotto... definitely useful. Jet will use his friendly and charming facade with her, see if he gains her favor.

Zion Oum: one of the 1st years she can rely on. Chill, intelligent, helpful... but Zion gets a little shy around girls because he has not much practice talking to them. Still, he will lend a hand if ask, help explain the laws of this world to her

Tzuriel: Well, hello~ A totally new person he cannot investigate about... what a wonderful challenge! Tzuriel will catch her off guard and ask all sort of questions to find out who she is, what the world she comes from is like, what information she knows from Azul... Charming, friendly, playful, he will even spoil her with some beauty products and accessories, anything that can get him interesting information and gain her favor! Just don't be surprised if he ends up betraying your trust, Ceridwen~

~~~ ° ~~~

William (Billy) MacUrse

Thais Adamante: She's intimidated, quite very much sjlkd He reminds him of the meanest Scholar back home. I JUST NOTICED HE'S A 2ND YEAR TOO JKDJA Anyways, she tries to keep her serious demeanor when speaking to him, that's her default when talking to new people and people that intimidate her. "You don't know the guy, don't make assumptions about who he is and how he behaves." She tells herself. She wouldn't want people to assume about her, why would she do it, yanno?

I can see her stumbling upon him mimicking the cries of birds when out in the forest. What an amazing talent!! can i say she find him attractive?

Blake O'Hare-Hill: Intimidated 2.0 You can't blame him, can you? He's a small bunny boy afraid of fighting and getting picked on. Regardless, he thinks of himself as open and polite, so he will treat the boy with due respect and politeness... does try to keep their interactions short, however.

Onaga Sei: Sei sees nothing wrong with the guy, why are Thais and Blake scared of him? Something tells me my eel won't try to befriend him, but he will make a lot of questions about being bear beastkin (like how he interrogates Vane). Who knows, though! Maybe they can become friends? Sei is more than fine with that outcome! But if Billy sees Sei as an annoyance.... that might fuel Sei to be EVEN MORE annoying! Curious little deep sea eel he is~ Unafraid of it all

Xeron Bhatt: Club buddies, they've probably talked a couple times. Xeron would be very curious to see how he fares in combat against Billy, Xe with his bare hands as he's used to and Billy with his weapon of choice (or hand-to-hand combat, if Billy would like). He would also be interested in learning from the guy, to wield weapons or hunt or archery, really anything. These two could be friends, yes yes! Honestly, Xe probably acts friendly towards William because he's very interested in learning about him and from him.

Koron Adamante: Admires his talents and skills with weapons. Koron used to practice archery, but let it go bc it was pushed onto him. Something tells me he would make a random comment about Billy's aim or posture (whether good or bad) and be like "Wait... what? Ah, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt or criticize you... Uh... I'll go now." Koron can adapt himself to being what Billy would like to befriend: loud and friendly, loud and cocky, or more toned down and serious. I'm unsure how Koron could be a responsible upperclassman in MacUrse's eyes, but he will try to be one!

Jet Fletcher: Strength, power... He needs that for his goal. Jet will make himself someone Billy would like to challenge in some way, thinking that that challenge will lead him into becoming acquainted with the bear. Once Jet gets to know Billy more closely? Full respect for the guy.... but he will still use him for his goal, and keep him as a friend, if the older boy permits him.

Zion Oum: This guy's too shy to approach him. Simple polite greetings if he sees the 2nd year with Jet, but that's all. Not afraid of him, but can't say he's interested in acquainting himself with Billy.

Tzuriel: What's this? Family drama?! Give me that! Tzuriel gets his nose aaaaaall up in Billy's business as he researches the boy. He's no fool, however, Tzu knows not a peep will leave MacUrse if he's asked about his family. Seems like C4ST0R will have to do a deeper search and discover things by himself. ...He also doesn't want to risk getting punched on his beautiful face dfklg

~~~ ° ~~~

Basil Balanaga

Thais Adamante: Oh dear... Thais? Or rather, an easy target for Basil? With her having friends in Scarabia (meaning, she visits the dorm frequently), loving to lose herself in nature, and being fellow 2nd years, both of them interacting through the day is very likely. When I say she's easy to fluster, it's because it's EASY. She may not be super easy to hypnotize, but to toy with? Yeah, very much. She tries to keep her distance, but she's too curious and has never seen a naga before! Excuse her wandering eyes and occasional staring "His hair is also super pretty and long... I wanna play with it!"

Nervous when around him, but keeps her "professional" front... as much as she can before she blushes

Blake O'Hare-Hill: HE WILL NOT APPROACH, NO, NOT AT ALL. He's seen the flustered mess Thais turns into, he DOES NOT WANT. Will try his hardest to not be picked on, HE WILL SACRIFICE ANY OF HIS FRIENDS FOR BASIL TO PLAY WITH TO SAVE HIMSELF (and of course that ends up being Thais 90% of the time bc it's the only one he can push forward). Has an agreement with Sei to keep him safe in one of the eel's spheres when they're together and can't get away from the naga. jifjvifo He's so silly isn't he?

Onaga Sei: At first, he thought Basil was an eel fjkjvks "Long tail? That's an eel!" Because his merfolk form has a LOOOONG tail. Sei is also fun to play with, won't get flustered but he's kinda gullible. Once he understands Basil is a python, naga better get ready for the strange questions Sei makes. They could potentially become friends? I'll have to know more about Basil's personality to tell for sure. For the meantime, Basil has fun playing with Sei and Sei has fun raining weird questions at Basil.

Oh! This guy will want to see Basil shed his skin! Finds it cool, wants to know how it happens

Xeron Bhatt: Basil may not be in the best of terms with Xe because of how he pokes Thais. Still, the redhead fae will keep things polite between them, they're dorm mates, after all. If they get to know each other, maybe their relationship can get better? ...or maybe it can get worse lol... We'll see!

Koron Adamante: Also keeps his distance and keeps an eye on the boy bc protective older brother towards Thais. due to this, acts a little cold towards the naga... but sometime, sooooometimes.... he tells Basil how exactly to rile Thais up.... but you didn't hear it from Koron!! He's unsure how to connect with Basil, so their relationship develops slowly, but I'm sure Koron will eventually warm up to him

Jet Fletcher: Hypnosis and stealing of magical power? He needs that for the future. Will approach Basil as an "innocent underclassman who needs guidance of a reliable senpai"... but I'm sure Basil senses something hiding under that, right? If he's forced to speak in his trance, Jet will reveal the truth of his plan. It will then be Basil's decision to put up with the boy's plan or leave... But Fletcher doesn't give up easily

Zion Oum: Good luck trying to fluster or play with him! Zion is one of my most aware OCs, hypnosis won't work so easy on him. Frankly, he would rather keep his distance from Basil, but Jet... he may bring the naga around. Zion will be a challenge to break, but his discomfort is evident when Basil tries to get near him. Regardless, Oum remains polite to his upperclassman.

Tzuriel: Honestly... he's disappointed by what he first found out about Basil and family... bu then he saw the medical records~ Overblot, huh? Don't mind his incessant proding for information about what happened back then~ Tzuriel is also very aware of his surroundings and consciousness, good luck trying to hypnotize him. He will probably erase Basil's memory of his anger and irritation towards Tzu, if he can get close enough when the naga is off guard (that's Tzu's UM, ability to erase select memories)

I'd like to see these two try to "out charm" the other, or act like the two popular girls at school that act like bffs but as soon as their backs are turned pure distaste comes out their mouth lol

-- --

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT !!!!!!!

WOW THIS WAS A LOT

Hope it helps you get a better idea of how my OCs behave~

and may I say.... I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR OCS THEY'RE ALL SO COOL AND UNIQUE AND PRETTY, HANDSOME FJISOJISOGJF

I AM... LOOKING.... AT WILLIAM (and Basil a bit) 😳💓

Thank you for your ask~ 💖

Hope to see more of your babies soon!!

Hyello! Sorry if this is super outta nowhere-I'm absolutely in love with your writing! Your TWST OCs are super creative and actually got me wondering your thoughts on their perceptions of my two: Albert and Yuu.

I would say, off the bat, Al would be VERY conflicted with Basil-my boi loves the 'Deep Pressure Therapy', but abjectly hates having his will/consciousness wrenched outta his hands (long story).

And Yuu would 100% trade a few bowls/plates of homecooked food (and be an open ear for complaints about Crowley-they have a few grievances, themselves) to have a second to oggle at Ceri's gauntlets

Ooooh! An OC ask? Don't mind if I do XD.

Can I just start by saying how much I adore the dorm uniform designs for your ocs? Now I wanna draw Ceridwen in it! It's the perfect combination of shabby-chic that Ramshackle def needs to have.

Plus, thank you for the comments you left on some of my recent posts. Your words made my day :)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Basil can’t possibly allow the prestigious dorm leader of Ramshackle to get burn-out, or worse succumb to the stress of his duties and have a mental breakdown...is what he would say. In reality, Albert’s stress is a goldmine for the snake.

All Basil will think about when he sees Albert is getting his tail around him. But won’t that trigger his fear of losing control? Panic is no good to Basil. Stress is what he deals in.

His solution would be to hypnotise Albert first.

Once Albert is hypnotised he won’t realise that he not in control. As the stress seeps out of him he’ll only fall deeper under the spell, and probably wake up not remembering a thing.

(Also, Basil’s nickname for Albert would be Hare. Why? Hares are swift creatures and Albert’s time-slowing UM would make it seem as though he was moving faster than everything else. And Albert’s vain side will also remind Basil of the tale of the Hare and the Hedgehog).

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Ceridwen wouldn’t just show her gauntlets to Yuu, she’d offer to make them their own pair. No food or therapy required. The inspiration behind making the gauntlets was her hatred of being defenceless, and with Yuu being magicless too, she won’t sleep until they have a pair for themselves.

However, food and therapy are more than welcome in general.

Ceridwen does have a tendency to isolate herself at NRC because the imposter syndrome of being magicless at a mage school is stifling. (Help this girl, she’s homesick and nervous 24/7 despite appearing cheerful). Any food Yuu makes her will be appreciated, and if they want to rant about life to her, she’ll listen for hours if needed. (Expect UK vs US jokes, too)!

Yuu will probably become to Ceridwen like Luz is to Eda in the Owl House. Must protect. If Yuu is in any sort of trouble, she’s there - big sister mode: on. She’d even run in front of an overblot for them.

Hello hello~ Don't mind me asking some silly little questions about your characters!

Let's see~

1) How do your OCs fare in flying class? Is someone afraid of flying/heights? Is someone enthusiastic about it? Do any of them have a particular style or pose (like how Cater and Leona stand on the broom, Idia and Floyd hang off it, Jade hugs it, etc.)? Does anyone use something other than a broom to fly?

2) If you had to pick only one, which canon character do you see being your OC's closest friend?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I like this! A lot of my characters would have difficulty straddling a broom due to their lower bodies not being humanoid....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vane and Basil would struggle the most with it. Vane would prefer to wait until he turns into a butterfly for flying (which he never intends to happen, but it's as good an excuse as any) to avoid getting on a broomstick. Cater and Trey usually have to find him and drag him to flying class. But, since they're busy third-years, they often don't have time. Vane chills out in the woods and watches from afar. "I wouldn't get on one of those things if you p-paid me."

Basil can't ride a broom. Even if the stick was thicker to accommodate his weight, the length of his tail is too awkward for him to ride it properly. If it slipped off, he would plummet straight down. However, Kalim lets him borrow his magic carpet. Basil's 'pose' when flying is to drape his tail near all the edges of the carpet so the weight is balanced.

Billy and Seth are the most adept when it comes to flying a broomstick. Around Billy's manor house, brooms used to be enchanted by the maids. Billy would hop on one and delight in his brothers' shocked faces as the broom tried to buck him off like a rowdy horse. Riding a broom reminds Billy of those times and it makes him a fast and ruthless flyer. He grips the broom tightly, makes sharp turns, and dips like he's reliving those same days.

Seth is more relaxed with his flying technique. He hooks his feet around the back and grips the stick with his elbows. This enables him to use his hands for reading, writing homework, or stitching. Azul is rather jealous about how an octomer like him can be so good in the air. (No doubt he's thought up numerous ways to rope Seth into a contract). Seth has actually tied red ribbons to the back of his broom so he can fly in style~

Jonah doesn't take flying seriously. He's modified his broom with an autopilot feature so he hasn't got to think about it. This doesn't make him very nimble in the air, but he's not interested in a career in flying so he just curls his tail around the broom and falls asleep with the stick between his shoulder blades. If he gets knocked off/falls off, the broom has a homing device and will chase him and catch him before he hits the ground.

Ceridwen? On a broom? She'd rather use a broomstick to sweep every room of NRC than get on one. Where are the seatbelts? How do you steer them? How do you control their altitude? Where are the BRAKES? In fact, one of Ceridwen's first days at NRC went something like this:

Ceridwen: *sweeping the halls for Crowley with a broom she found in a cupboard.*

Lilia: *drops down from the ceiling* "You're using it wrong, dear~"

Ceridwen: "Ah! Well how else are you supposed to use a broom?”

Lilia: *takes it off her, sits on it, and flies upwards.*

Ceridwen:

And finally, Tallis IS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SHOW OFF! After Vargas taught him that you fly on a broom by sitting on it, and not by using your wings while just holding a broom, Tallis couldn’t stop thinking about the performances he could put on with a broomstick. For weeks he was glued to Magicam watching videos on how to do barrel rolls, loops, corkscrews. Have his new skills made him a lot of jealous enemies? Of course. Has it made him a lot of adoring fans? Tallis’d like to think so. He’s left it to Cater to post clips of him doing tricks. As any self-respecting artist knows, you shouldn’t let the reviews bog you down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In answer to your second question, when it comes to canon closest friends with my OCs, I reckon it would look something like this:

Vane --> Trey

Billy --> Sebek

Ceridwen --> Azul

Basil --> Kalim

Seth --> Floyd

Jonah --> Deuce

Tallis --> Rook

I hadn’t thought about this before. Some of my answers actually surprised me.

Thanks for the questions @zackcrazyvalentine

They were really thought provoking!

‘MISTER NOODLE’? THAT IS SO CUTE!!! NOW I HAVE A MENTAL IMAGE OF BASIL WEARING A TRAIN CONDUCTOR’S HAT WHILE HE GIVES TAIL RIDES TO LITTLE KIDS! I was not prepared for this fluff! GAHHH! ( @sugarandmelody LOOOOOOOOOOOK!)

AND YES! Basil is the smoothest talker you will meet. I can picture him bowing politely to the old ladies as he slithers past them, “You’re looking ssssplendid, madame.” Meanwhile, the older men are giving him more and more chores to do to keep him away XD

(I’m sorry - I keep reading Nilgiri’s name as ‘nigiri’ which is a type of sushi ^^”)

Thanks for writing this! You’ve made me love my snake boi so much more!

(Throwback to the first ask I sent in for the event).

I can picture Basil being the errand runner around the stalls, since his slithering is so quick. This extends to picking up and dropping off items and people all around the venue for certain tasks. How would the volunteers (Furo's elder siblings included if you wish) react to riding on his tail? And how would Basil respond to those reactions?

(Every time I write Basil, I love him even more)

"Hey kid! Can you bring this crate of fruit over to the food stalls for me?!"

"We have a visitor that's overheating. Can you please bring them to Mr. Furo at the security tent?"

"Hey! Hey! Mister Noodle! Can we hitch a ride to the obstacle course? Pretty please~?"

Basil was now a town favorite. The vendors loved the convenience of not having to leave their stalls to make deliveries between one another, the medical crew found it easier to treat people who were fainting in the sun, and the children had a ride that had never been at the fair prior.

"As far as the villagers are concerned, you're an honorary member of the neighborhood," Vormel gave Basil a solid slap on the back. "If you aren't careful, you might be held hostage by a few of the older ladies!"

Basil held his head up high. He had to admit, it felt nice being accepted into such a close-knit community. "If it meant eassssing the woesss of those lovely ladies, I would happily sssstay longer."

"You are one smooth talker," Vormel chuckled. He spotted his older sister walking with a purpose down the way. "Hey Giri! Where ya heading?!"

Nilgiri stopped and changed her direction to intersect the two boys. "I was going towards the stage to give Mom an update on donations. Why?"

"How about you take the Python Train?" Vormel suggested as he stiffled laughter.

Nilgiri raised an eyebrow and looked at the young naga. "Why?"

"I can ssslither rather quickly. I'll get you there in no time!" Basil promoted himself. "It is no problem for me."

Nilgiri just stared at him. There was no indication if her mood was sour or not. Just the piercing glare that she seemed to always have. Basil couldn't help but sink into himself.

"Sure. I don't feel walking anymore," Nilgiri shrugged and got closer. She sat on his tail and addressed her younger brother. "You should probably check in on Brazza and the Anastasia girl back at the DJ booth, V.P. People are bombarding them with song requests."

"Got it Nil!" Vormel nodded. He sat on Basil's tail behind her. "Don't mind making an extra stop, do ya Basil?"

"Not at all!"

Alright! I have a serious question here-

In a scale of 0 to 10, rate ya bois hugs >:3c I maybe wanna hug vane, basil and seth here-

I am so glad you asked!

Alright, so, I'll go from worst to best.

Vane gives the worst hugs out of all my OCs, a solid 1/10. Due to having antennae, he is very sensitive to anything that moves around him. Being hugged would make him tense up. Besides, the way his family 'hugs' is by touching their antennae. So, if Vane's antennae pat the top of your head it's as intimate as he'll get.

Seth's hugs are 2/10. Being a fashionista, he's all too aware of how easily a lot of fabrics crease. It would make him cringe to hug someone in linen or velvet and step away to see that he's ruined their look. Seth is dainty when it comes to embraces. He'll probably just squeeze your hand if he wants to show his appreciation for you. But if you're caught underwater with him, he'll squeeze your exposed skin with his tentacles to mean the same thing.

Billy is next. First off, you have to earn a hug from the guy. He only hugs those he deems an ally by impressing him through feats of loyalty and strength. When it comes to the hug itself, it's a bear one. I rate it 3/10. It will feel like he's trying to realign your spinal discs. If you're too weak to handle his embrace, get back in the gym and build that muscle! Billy: "No excuses. There's no such thing as being too strong."

Jonah comes in at number 4. His hugs are 4/10. He's not against hugging people, but getting him in a situation for a hug is near impossible. He's often so busy working on projects, with music blasting, that he won't notice that you want one. Plus, his scales are rough, he's usually coated in grease and oil, and from not being practiced in hugging, he's awkward when it comes to holding people. (Not a pleasurable experience.) Affection from Jonah is mostly just hearty pats on the back or ruffling your hair.

Ceridwen can give a decent 6/10 hug. She prefers handshakes, but if you get close enough to her that your relationship upgrades to hugging, hers are firm and friendly. She'll probably rock you from side to side briskly after removing her gauntlets so she doesn't hurt you. If you ask for a hug out of the blue, before you're close with her, she wouldn't want to make things awkard by refusing but you can bet it'll quick.

Tallis's hugs are almost top on the list for how creative he gets with them. 8/10 is what he scores. If he has you in his arms he'll press you tightly to him, flap into the air, twirl, and flutter back down; grinning. But...all the best actors have range~. He's known to give hugs that incorporate dips, dancing, teasing as he pretends to try and escape you, and tackles. Don't worry though, he'll flap his wings before you hit the floor. No harm done.

Finally, Basil takes first place with 10/10 hugs. Balanagas don't cut corners when it comes to embracing people. Whether it be nature or nurture from being cuddled with his parents' tails, Basil will wrap up your legs in coils while his arms hug your upper half. Being an apprentice chiropractor, he will be able to feel your musculature from a simple touch and know how tightly he can squeeze you. He may tease you by squeezing you slightly too hard, but what are you going to do? Struggle? There wouldn't be any point. And if Basil is cold, he'll ask if he can cuddle you for warmth. His tail is surprisingly comfortable. When it's not flexed, it feels like a memory-foam pillow, so feel free to do homework or read while he tries to not die of hypothermia.

6. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do? 7. Who do you look up to?

These with Basil and Billy! :D

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is really wracking my brain now!!! Thank you for asking this xx

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to do?

“It’s...not sssomething I’m proud of,” said Basil. “Mostly because it was my fault.” Had the snake known he’d be asked to recall the darkest time of his life he never would have agreed to this interview.

“I...well...when I was very young my unique magic - Peekaboo - manifested. With it I can drain the energy from someone and make any sssubsequent magic spells a bit stronger. This was before I’d been issued my magic pen, and I didn’t know how to control how much I drained from someone. One day, a client came to the spa, and I drained all their stress and I...”

Basil took a shuddering breath. The memory surged back into him like a juggernaut. “...Almost overblotted. But that wasn’t the hardest thing I had to do. My little brother, Torbin, got night terrors after he saw what happened to me. He slept in my bed until I left for NRC, and when he woke up screaming, I woke up, too. I felt so guilty about what I’d done to him. He became tired during the day, irritable, and very paranoid about my welfare. Even now he sends me lettersss twice a week asking how I am.”

~~~

That question hit close to home, and the answer was clear. But even if Billy did relive the tragedy - every day - of losing his inheritance, he knew that wasn’t the hardest thing he’d done.

“In truth,” he began, picking at his lips, “it would have to be learning to see myself as what I am rather than what I was going to be. All my life I fantasised about what I’d do when Harveston became mine. I dreamed of the sport, the festivals I’d throw, and the legacy I’d have. But with that all gone...what was I? I looked into the river on the border of town and saw that I was just a fourteen year-old child and nothing more.”

7. Who do you look up to?

Basil perked up a bit. “That’s more like it! Well, I would have to say it’s Lilia Vanrouge.” He laughed at your shocked face. “I know, I know, hard to believe, right? I’ve only known him for a couple of years...or, known of him, but you’ve got to hand it to the guy. He’s raised two children, fought wars, and still finds a way to enjoy life and all it has.”

He leaned in closer, whispering in your ear: “I don’t want to say too much in case that bat’s listening, but he’s just got this way about him that I want. Dessspite all the tragedy and hardship, he keeps going, giggling all the way.”

~~~

“Keeping with the serpent’s theme of picking students, I have to say I admire Bucchi.” Billy shrugged his shoulders when Basil’s jaw dropped open. “What? He’s impressive. Leona is stronger and older than him, and yet he isn’t afraid to stand up to him. He gets his way with wit and cunning rather than the brute force a lot of other Savanaclaws use. And...”

As Billy wracked his brains for how else to sing Ruggie’s praises, he remembered he came from the slums. “He’s come from nothing and has made something of himself here. He’s hard-working, wary, efficient. A man of true potential.”

Hmmmm~

Basil, Tallis... And... And maybe Billy boy.

Describe your biggest pet peeve.

What’s the easiest way to flirt with you?

Describe your ideal partner.

Haha... I'm not a simp. Nope

An ask for Billy? I don’t get many of these so bring it on!!! And Tallis is still relatively new, too 😅😅

~~~~~~~~~~

Basil, Billy, and Tallis - three students as alike as water was to fire- rendezvoused in the Ramshackle garden where Minxie had invited them for an interview and afternoon tea.

Basil and Tallis took little convincing. Who could pass up an afternoon of treats and good conversation? But Billy had come along solely at the insistence of Ruggie who wanted a break from the bellicose first-year’s antics.

20. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Basil offered to go first since his name was first alphabetically. He had been too heavy for the chairs and instead lounged on his tail like a beanbag. A glass of lemonade in one hand, and a slice of cake in the other, the serpent was in complete and utter paradise.

“Well, for the record, you aren’t, my dear.” He gave Minxie a cheeky wink. “But I think my biggessst pet peeve would have to be running and errand on the day I shed my skin. My scales turn sssticky. I reckon it would be like...walking around with sand stuck to your feet, and instead of washing it off, you put your shoes on.”

~~~

Billy had to consider what irritated him the most. Was Minxie asking what his biggest pet peeve was in general, or just things that annoyed him on a daily basis? He gnawed at a ham sandwich, as if the soft bread and meat could tease an answer out of him faster.

“You’s is a brav’en, I’ll give ye that, Cobain. But it’s participation awards. Hate ‘em. What’s the point, eh? Failure is good for people, and most who are faster, stronger, or smarter than others have put hours into gettin’ there. Ay, some are built different, but ye shouldn’t coddle the losers like yer their mammy.”

~~~

“I never would have taken you for someone who likes things fair and square, Mac. Maybe you should have been a Heartslabyul?” Tallis already had a ring of crumbs around his face and didn’t show any signs of slowing as he reached for another cupcake.

“But I digress. For me, it would have to be people that talk during a performance. It’s just so...disrespectful, and even the best actors can feel like they’re not good enough. When I eventually own my own theatre I’ll rig all the seats. If someone’s not paying attention, they’ll get what’s coming to them!”

21. Describe your ideal partner.

Basil almost choked on his cake. This afternoon was more amusing then he had bargained for. “You were right, Bill, she is a brazen one~. Actually, I had someone asssk me a similar question just the other day. Am I truly so irresistible?”

The tip of Basil’s tail brushed up against Minxie’s ankle. “Off the top of my head, I fancy someone strong who doesn’t shy away from fun and thrills, my dear. However, all the lovers I’ve had in the passst were so different, so I can’t be sure until I’ve given someone a chance.”

~~~

“An ideal partner, eh?” Billy rolled his eyes and started bouncing his knee. “I dunne heave the pressure to marry’n bear heirs anymore. Not when me brothers get equal share of me homeland. So I ain’t given it any thought in years...”

Suddenly, Billy’s eyes seemed to shinier and his cheeks grew red. “Sorry, hay fever.” He sniffed. “But I’d want someone that’ll just...be there. A friend I can confide in, and experience everythin’ with. They don’t have teh like the same things I do. I just want one true person. That won’t take what I have left and leave me with nothing like my witch of a stepmothe-. Yeah.”

~~~

“I’m much like Mac,” said Tallis. “Just having someone to connect with on a personal level and be united by common experiences. That’s my ideal partner. Which, in a sense, could be anybody.” He blew a kiss to his company, getting a mixture of responses.

“But if we’re being specific, I think I would like to go for someone wise but not uptight. Coming from a small village like I did, wealth and lavish things weren’t on the table. I want to be with someone that doesn’t want a lot of money, but is wise with what they have. I want someone who lives life in the moment, carefree, while knowing when their next meal is and where they’ll sleep so they haven’t got to worry.”

22. What's the easiest way to flirt with you?

A pause.

Tallis pretended to faint, Basil burst out laughing, and Billy stormed off. Minxie called out that it was the last question and the bear beastman steeled himself, sitting back down with a grunt.

“The easiest way to flirt with little ol’ me,” began Basil, wiping the tear out of his eye, “is...I’m not sure. Usually I’m the one doing it. But I must confess that I do like slow dancing.” He brought his hands to his hips and swished them from side to side, closing his eyes to transport himself to the perfect moment. “Having someone pressed against you, sharing warmth, rocking gently at the music’s command. You’d have to be made of stone to not feel anything in that moment. And when your partner speaks, the words are so gentle. Ssso private.”

~~~

Billy’s fingers stroked his serving knife. “Psh, I canne tell ye. Have you seen me?” He flexed his chest and his shirt buttons strained. “You really think people flirt with me? But I’ll confess that bold people impress me. People who know what they are and play to their strengths. When folks like that challenge me - not teh duels or with threats - and push my boundaries, they force me to improve...or lose. I wouldn’t call it flirting, but it gets my attention.”

With that, Billy scooped his pelt off the back off the chair and left for good.

~~~

“And then there were three.” Tallis reached over to Billy’s plate and stole his uneaten scone. “Well, much like you, Basil, I tend to be the one making all the moves. Some people don’t like my theatrics, but that’s why I’m looking for a partner that can beat me at my own game! I’m talking fancy flowers, poems, drawings.” He swooned at the thought. “The best way to flirt with me is to let the creativity within you flow, and take all the love and passion I have and give it straight back in your own way. Fight fire with fire sort of thing.”

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!! IT ALWAYS BRIGHTENS MY DAY TO SEE HOW MY BABIES WOULD INTERACT WITH OTHER OCS. (Like I’m a mother watching my kids make friends at school). Melanie is such a cool OC, too!

Right-o, it’s my turn *cracks knuckles.*

---

Ceridwen

You’ve got the right idea with Melanie needing to drag Ceridwen away from danger and work. She’s highly sleep-deprived, and even with her mirror gauntlets she’s never in any condition to fight (she pretends the dark circles under her eyes are actually just smudged mascara)...

As a fellow Ramshackle, Ceridwen would look out for Melanie. Even if a dorm leader hasn’t been established, Ceridwen will generally assume the role if it means keeping the Ramshackles on the straight and narrow and protecting them in a school filled with powerful mages and dangerous spells.

Finally, Ceridwen’s over-thinking doesn’t makes her paranoid. All the good and bad outcomes shoot through her brain at the same time. Having someone to offload to about her thoughts would be a relief, regardless of whether Melanie gives her more food for thought and makes her think even deeper. It’s also just nice having a girl to talk to, and one that’s so polite and caring.

Vane

The poor man would have heard Melanie hit the floor and ran off the first chance he got. What was that noise? Was it a door opening? A box falling over? Had a bear gotten in? He didn’t know and didn’t care. He was gone.

To later on be invited to tea by Melanie was something he declined immediately. Who was this girl? How did he know her? From being in Heartslabyul, Vane had mastered the art of not going to tea parties. First, go into the woods; make dozens of plants grow to be huge; hide in one of them; hope the people looking for him give up quickly.

However, if Vane overheard Melanie defending him from bullies, he’d thank her in his head before continuing on with whatever he was doing. Seeing her later in the hallway might prompt him to nod in greeting, but nothing more.

Basil

Basil has an interest in all the Ramshackle students who come from a different world. They must be so scared and stressed - brilliant for offering spa services and using his UM. Whether it be Melanie, Ceridwen, you name them, he’s had them in his coils and whispered reassurances that he’s there for them.

However, he prefers Melanie to Ceridwen. Just as a snake prefers a Field Mouse to a Mongoose. Whether it be teasing her, asking her to run quick errands for him, and playing the flute to a song from her homeland, he’s just interested to see how far he’ll get with someone like her.

Louise and Grim - Honey Badger and Dwarf Hamster - are playful accessories Basil’s often holding back with his tail while he chats to Melanie. Can’t have pesky eavesdroppers spoiling their conversations. Not only that, but he’d want her to get comfortable looking into his eyes. Anyone with as much energy as her is a goldmine when it comes to his unique magic.

William

(THAT’S SUCH A FUNNY MENTAL IMAGE WITH THE ACORNS!)

If William disturbed Melanie while he was throwing axes, he might not be as polite about the whole ordeal as you may think. “Why’re ye doin’ yer homework under a tree? There be classrooms, bedrooms, and libraries fer all tha’. ‘sides, I come out here v’ry other day teh practice. Did ye ner see the target marked on that there tree trunk yonder?”

He wouldn’t be too rude about it, though. Melanie’s a lady and she certainly wasn’t a threat. He’d offer to take a break while she concentrated on her homework, but advised she do it somewhere quieter.

If the girl was to then learn about Billy’s heritage and future - pertaining to one day becoming the owner of the Harveston lakes - he would shove her off faster than anything. The subject of his fall from grace, regardless of the fact he still has notable status, pains him. Melanie would be intruding if she brought it up in conversation.

Seth

Melanie is a unique case. It’s hard to get inside Seth’s heart - ironic since he has three so it should be easier. However, he will be interested in Melanie’s fashion sense, and that she can make clothes herself.

I can definitely see the pair of them becoming each other’s muses. Seth teaches Melanie all he knows, and vice versa. He’d rave about her to Maestro Pezoni and Moira over the holidays - telling them all about this girl from another world that stumbled into his life broadened his horizons.

Working on a woman with a different body type to Ceridwen would be useful, too. And since he values Melanie so much, he’ll drape her in his softest fabrics and ask her opinion on what he’s doing. I can already see Melanie, Ceridwen and Seth setting up a business. Melanie models, Seth creates, and Ceridwen sells. (Azul: *sees they’re making a lot of money...his footsteps get louder...*)

All in all, the three of them would make a very stylish family.

I've stalked @squidwen's blog long enough to finally make some interactions with Mel and their oc's!!

Ceridwen: Good friends! Melanie would ask Cerid to not refer to her by royal terms as by her standards she's an average student here. She becomes Cerid's helper and by that I means she'll drag Cerid away from potential danger and long work hours to go shopping or learn how to make something. Of course both of them being over-thinkers is definitely going to lead to hijinks (especially if the other first years are involved) but that's normal for them. Them being assistants means they run into each other with tasks so Mel always suggest afterwards they rest with tea and a good book.

Vane: Now Melanie can....tolerate bugs but not insects that are the size of people so her first reaction to Vane would be....... fainting. Not the best first time and she knows that she might have made Vane more worried so she tries to make it up. By setting up a garden outside of the Ramshackle and growing both flowers and crops she would invite Vane to join her. A nice day with a few clouds rolling by, some lemonade and little buds that need tender loving care. If he ever gets picked on she'll rush in to stop them and if he wants company she'll be more than happy to oblige.

Basil: A curious relationship. Basil sees her and thinks of a tiny field mouse, always scurrying around with papers and things, entering classrooms to drop off things all the while getting to her own class with that dwarf hamster and honey badger. Of course this makes her a prime target for a massage but she's so easy to tease. It's too easy for him to sneak up behind her and let out a little hiss near her ear, she jumps and stares bewildered with those blue eyes. Even if she's holding back Louise from swinging at him with his teeny tiny sword. But she's also extremely kind, always making sure he's doing alright and he isn't pulling any sore muscles. She was a bundle of tight nerves just waiting to pop but all she cared about was her friends health. Strange........she could be fun.

William: Fellow first years and while Melanie might not know much about him, she does know that he's known for axe-throwing. She would know. The first time they met she was behind the tree he was chucking mini axes at and the hits were causing acorns to fall all over her. Being a little irritated by getting hit with acorns while she does homework she turns around only to see a giant holding an axe in his hand. She....might have panicked if Will didn't stop her and apologize for not realizing someone was here. After that she would be curious since they're in different classes and the fact that he's next in line for leadership. She'd try to befriend him and just understand this grizzly bear of a student.

Seth: Not entirely sure if these two would be odd pseudo friends that no one understands what they see in the other or Seth avoids Melanie like the plague when all she did was nothing. He might think she's annoying, a little fly that won't stop buzzing plus given the fact that she's a supposed queen a spoiled pest no doubt. But all Melanie's ever done was shyly ask if he needs more fabric and brought tea. While they both sew and make clothing Seth's far better at the craft then Mel so she would try to at least learn something from him, only for him to make her leave. She does try to be his assistant so he can do this like eat and take breaks, if he needs a model she's up for the job no payment needed.

Kiran, carrying Basil:

Hm, am I your ideal type, beastly?

(first freaking thought reading that. pfff. good luck getting carried, Basil!)

Basil: *leans his head against Kiran’s shoulder* You certainly tick all the boxes, tiger cub. Why don’t we try each other out? We’re in the same dormitory after all. It’s time we got to know each other~

#twisted wonderland basil balanaga #basil balanaga #kiran strisha #twisted wonderland Kiran strisha #Now that I think about it #Kiran wouldn’t be too far fetched #He would def get on with the Balanagas #Torbin would have a heart attack if Basil brought a tiger home #AS IF A SLEEP DEPRIVED ASSASSIN WASN’T ENOUGH!

Yo yo yo!

(pls gimme a lil flick on the forehead if I'm being square-brained and sending an ask I've already sent you before - my memory go brrr lmao)

I was wondering if I could ask how each of your OCs feel about hugs! I have an OC, Masayuki, who has strong arms (and a lot of muscle in general tbh) and a bit of a higher body temperature than most - and he's a big hugger, so I like to ask people this question.

It's a bit fluffy, and I get to share thoughts about hugs! (And hopefully I can share some serotonin too, hehe (◕ᴗ◕✿)

-fluff

(No flicking of heads down my neck of the woods, sweetie! Don't worry. You haven't sent me an ask before. Hello btw :D Welcome to my blog! You literally couldn't have asked a better question. I've been thinking about how my ocs would react to hugs).

Vane Millingwood

It was moments like these when Vane could pass for a woodlouse. His first instinct was to curl up. He felt nauseous; his stubby legs trembled; his antenna curled and uncurled frantically as he wracked his brain for escape tactics. "Get off!" he exclaimed, wriggling like a worm on a hook in Masayuki's arms. "Get off me! Let go!" The sensation of someone's touch made his blood recoil from his skin. No doubt Masayuki could feel how scrawny and bumpy Vane was in certain places. The places he hated. Jackets and baggy shirts couldn't hide him from hands, and the Caterpillar almost collapsed form nerves.

Billy MacUrse

The bear beastman had been caught off-guard by the sudden embrace. Was this a surprise attack? Had Masayuki gone in for a headlock? Even though he wasn’t applying any pressure, Billy wasn't about to take any chances. He straightened to full height and puffed out his chest; pectorals expanding and prying Masayuki's arms off. Masayuki barely had time to blink before he was slammed against the wall. "Touch me again, ye wee varmint," Billy grumbled, his forearm veins throbbing as he strained to keep the muscular man in place, "and I'll rip yer arms clean outta their sockets."

Ceridwen Christides

As with everyone Ceridwen first met in Twisted Wonderland, she was extremely cautious. Her adrenaline spiked as Masayuki closed his arms around her. However, she didn’t want to be rude. She hugged him back with her left hand, while keeping the right balled into a fist behind her back. After a while, with nothing bad happening, Ceridwen allowed herself to relax into the hug. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d been held. So few people were so brazen. Masayuki’s warmth only helped to put her at ease, and the whole experience reminded her of her father’s hugs. She bit her lip as she welled up. “That’s enough, mate” she said, pulling away. “Mind yourself now. Cheerio.”

Basil Balanaga

The mere offer of a warm hug was enough to make Basil spring onto Masayuki. Students were always wary of Basil, for his hypnotic ways and strong tail, so this was an offer he couldn’t refuse. Instinctively, he coiled himself around Masayuki. Being cold-blooded made Basil greedy for warmth and this guy was practically a walking hot water bottle. “Don’t be afraid to ssssqueeze me a little tighter,” said Basil, tightening his grip around Masayuki’s legs and stomach. When Masayuki’s breath hitched, Basil smirked coyly. “You should have known what you were getting into asking for a cuddle from someone of my kind. Come now, don’t be shy, my little boa constrictor.” The snake lay his head on Masayuki’s shoulder and signed heavily. “Let’ssss make the most of thissss.”

Seth Trent

"This jacket is made from crushed velvet! Do you have any idea how long it took me to steam it this morning?" With his dainty arms locked inside Masayuki's, Seth turned his left leg back into four tentacles and started jabbing him in the stomach. Did this man not know what personal space was? Or that velvet is an extremely delicate fabric? Seth's gaze was piercing. Regardless of how much he teetered on one leg, or his chest heaved with indignation, his eyes delivered a constant stream of disgust. "You should be put in prison for such a crime against fashion! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tell dorm leader Schoenheit about this."

Tallis Underplume
