AT LONG LAST: meet the family!

Ardent/Ichor/Aubade/[REDACTED] Tvalan

It/Its/Itself | Dae/Daer/Daers | Ro/Rose/Rose's/Roseself

God of Loyalty, RED & adoptive parent. Brother of Molly & Strange. I like music, smithing, fashion, and sparring. Friend of She Who Reads Eulogies & co-owner of the Harbour.

Infernal typing. Rest is a secret.

Molly/Moll/Aesse Tvalan

He/Him/His/Himself | They/Them/Theirs/Themself

Former mercenary & intelligence agent, performer, brother of Ardent, and I consider Strange part of the family. Fashionista & enchanter when I'm not reading or entertaining my darlings, tea enthusiast. I may have called myself Molly for a bit and the consequence was it sticking.

Infernal who grew up on the fringes. Blame my quirks on my parents! Or the guild I ran away to. Or any of my friends~ (By the by! I run @seventh-open-eye ♡)

Aldæon/Ald

He/Him/His/Himself | It/Its/Itself

Traveler and... Security worker. When I'm not on the move I live wherever Aesse lives. Fond of swordplay, 18th century fashion, political drama and snatching sweets Aesse has bought.

Fleetfoot unicorn, and no, I don't think you have enough money to buy my time.

Raz/Raeon D'Calavier

He/Him/His/Himself

Performer, tailor, and musician. I'd say I'm a traveler, but I tend to shortcut through the Roads, so I'm a bit spoiled. Former noble who may or may not have faked my death! Avid fan of collecting jewelry and ornate weapons.

Infernal, no idea if my strain has a translation in English but it's partially aligned with the processes of the earth.

Sarret/Drought

He/Him/His/Himself | They/Them/Theirs/Themself

Humans would call me an archfae, though I have none of the responsibilities of one. I enjoy soft linens, gold thread, and Moll's singing voice. Oh, and anything involving vanilla pudding? Hand it over. Now. Please~?

Spirit of the bitter drought, bleached bones, cracked silt, white sun.

Selek/Essa

He/Him/His/Himself

Regional seer, clockworker, researcher. I'm usually not around the house since I work long, odd hours. I specialize in time, gravity, and perception magic. I'm fond of iced drinks and birdsong.

What I am doesn't have English words for it, but you may liken me to a moon-forest nymph for the sake of a poorly translated visual.

Mira

They/Them/Theirs/Themself | [untranslateable]

"Consultant" who focuses on strategy and resource management. I like cheese and taffy! Swing music, too but not really the shit with heavy bass. Makes my ears hurt.

Humans would call me a... I dunno what they'd call me actually. Moll says to say drake-faun?? No idea.

Kalvan/Kallie Tvalan

He/Her/His/Herself & They

Librarian? I used to have a job but I kinda quit when I moved to the Harbour. I probably eat too much chocolate for my own good... I will always accept more hoodies and nail files.

Vampire mix who really doesn't feed as much as he should.

(Emyrin/Em here! I'm Kall's sisterrrr I don't live in the Harbour (yet) but I gotta hype her up he's really good at sorting books and has a better singing voice than he'll ever admit!)

We won't be describing any of those who are children here as they cannot provide sufficient informed consent to do so, but we will mention there are children in the house who may be mentioned sporadically to varying extents.

I guess art is going on tumblr instead of on blogspot today lolll cause I’m lazy. half the high school au crowd goes to see a movie. that is all. (If I successfully did this then there will be a read more bc I put the fic here and it got long)

Image ID: two digital drawings. One is of high school versions of murderbot characters dressed in costumes and standing in front of a movie poster: from left to right, Rin (high school au murderbot), Bharadwaj, Overse, Gurathin, Pin-Lee, and Indah. Rin has dark curly hair and dark brown skin. It is not dressed in a costume, just a blue hoodie and gray pants, and is standing behind and apart from the group. Bharadwaj has dark brown skin and her hair is under a light purple hijab which extends into a cape behind her; she also wears a long dark blue dress belted at the waist and a silver circlet. Overse has light skin, shoulder-length dirty blonde hair, and glasses; she wears a light blue dress with pink trim and sleeves, pink shoes laced up her calves, a Magen David necklace, and a small pink crown. Gurathin has the lightest skin, brown hair cut unflatteringly, and big round wire glasses; he is wearing a red shirt and leggings with gold armor over it, and he has a silver flute hung over his shoulder. Pin-Lee has lightish skin, black hair in a bun, and wears a green bodysuit half covered in green and pink feathers. Indah is the tallest except for Rin and has medium skin and light brown hair; she is wearing a turquoise shirt, purple leggings, a skirt in a different shade of purple with gold trim, and yellow shoes.

the other image is the poster that is behind them. It is for a made up movie called “Sunshine Warriors: Day of the Second Sun” and features an orange and yellow stylized sun on a blue background. On the sun there are images of a pink crown, a red eighth note, a green bird, and a purple butterfly. Under the movie title, at the bottom, it says “Ten Years Later…”. End ID.

anyways this is for chatfic I am deciding whether to post to ao3 or not, I wrote the fic last year and it’s part of the hsau’s summer between Mensah and mb’s senior year of high school and going to college. The relevant bit of the fic itself is as follows:

———

DM: Lee (Pin-Lee), bhara (Bharadwaj)

[10:01] bhara: Hey, wanna go to the river w me this afternoon?? I need out of the house and my aunt won't let me take the car

[10:03] Lee: I'm down, want me to pick you up?

[10:03] bhara: That'd be great \o/ I have no agenda lol I just really need a break

[10:04] Lee: Also, want to come to the movies tonight with Indah and me, too? We're making plans to see the Sunshine Warriors film in full costume tonight, possibly with Gurathin and Overse and Rin too.

[10:04] bhara: OMG I FORGOT THE MOVIE COMES OUT TONIGHT AAAAAA AND ITS LIVE ACTION LIKE THE PART IN THE DOCUMENTARY WHERE THE ACTORS DID THE SCENES

[10:05] Lee: I was actually about to ask if you wanted to come when you texted me!

[10:07] bhara: I CAN GO \o/ \o/ \o/

[10:07] Lee: Great. Pick you up in ten for river time, at 4 for the movie?

[10:07] bhara: o7 but also changed my mind, let's go see how much of a costume we can put together in the time between now and 4?

[10:08] Lee: I'll make a group chat so we can coordinate costumes!

New Chat: Pin-Lee (Pin-Lee), Bharadwaj (Bharadwaj), gurathin (gurathin), indah (indah), Overse (Overse), Rin (Rin)

[10:10] Pin-Lee (Pin-Lee) started chat

[10:10] Pin-Lee (Pin-Lee) changed chat name to Sunshine Warriors Assemble

[10:11] Pin-Lee: So. We are doing this, okay? I call dibs on being Feather, he was always my favorite.

[10:11] indah: I'd forgotten how much I loved this show

[10:12] indah: I want to be Color, if possible, I have the most clothing I could use for her.

[10:15] Overse: Arada isn't interested in going but she says she'll lend me her floofy skirt so I wanted to be color

[10:15] indah: I'll duel you for it. Swords at 2 am on the 29th?

[10:16] Overse: wow rude

[10:16] Overse: whatever happened to reasonable sleep schedules? [10:17] gurathin: Not to interrupt but I want to stake a claim on flute, the least terrible warrior

[10:18] Overse: omg Gurathin just be sun lord, you're already that pompous <3

[10:18] Bharadwaj: So we have Flute, Feather, and two people who want to be Color, who wants Princess and what do the rest of you want to do?

[10:20] Overse: well, I can be princess instead, i do have good high heels for it, but what do you wanna do?

[10:20] Rin: I'm not coming in costume.

[10:20] Bharadwaj: I was thinking Queen Midnight but only if everyone else is down for going with the villain?

[10:21] Pin-Lee: I am *always* down for going with villains. I'll be over in 5 minutes and we can hit your closet and the thrift store, okay?

[10:22] indah: The plan is meet at Pin-Lee's house at 4, carpool to the movie theater, see the 4:45 showing, get dinner, see the 9:50 showing, go home, unless anyone can't stay out till midnight.

[10:30] Bharadwaj: I just checked and my aunt says that's fine

[10:30] Bharadwaj: She also says if we want to come over after and watch the documentary that came out a couple years ago about the making of the show we are welcome to do so and then sleep over!

[10:31] Bharadwaj: It's SUCH a good documentary, it's a beautiful letter of love to the way the show was made and the choices the writers had to make to make it socially acceptable

[10:31] Bharadwaj: I know I just like documentaries in general but I really love this one and not just because it's about fiction I enjoy

[10:35] Overse: omg perf

[10:35] Overse: I have to be princess then bc I loved her voice actor in the show
