@xaallo liked for a black sheep starter

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Terrance held his axe up in the air, his whole body trembling with both adrenaline, fear and hunger. "GET AWAY!"

Of ALL of the long term moots, how do you think each of them would be at Gordon's birthday rager?

Aw shit dog that's a LOT of muses and most of which I haven't really interacted with- some are newer but I can see going. uhh here we go:

@hxnger-unbcund Gluttony is actually here because he's a good friend and cares about Gordon. And he's also pumped as fuck for the food. And apparently he probably knows the most people here. But he's not allowed in the kitchen and he's arguing with Zoviary for being a party pooper. He does not great on the mechanical bull. Greed is here because what are all these demons congregating in these caves for? He's disappointed it's a birthday party for a rat but he'll stay because it's an awesome party and he doesn't see much of those. Envy is here for the same reasons as Greed.

@xaallo Xaallo is here because birthday rager and they're kinda almost maybe friends? Adraka told him to go be supportive. Initially he and Glutt hang out and laugh and catch up, and then spar a bit and break a table. So now he's sitting at the counter having a good chat and eating Gordon's Himalayan salt out of the shaker and asking where that baby went. Eventually he comes into the kitchen and helps cook. But he's far from comfortable with the two demons in there as well. Does either really good or really bad on the mechanical bull and keeps doing it until he beats everyone's scores. He never does. Kjoll is here because birthday rager and someone sexy who's stroked his ego in the past is here~ was GOING to be an exotic male dancer popping out of the cake but he didn't want to miss the rest of the party and is snooping around their house trying on their jewelry, scent marking their things and bed, and trying to antagonize Zoviary into chasing him to Gordon's bedroom and he's very mad at Okaal for being a 'party pooper'. Okaal doesn't know who's birthday this is or why he's here but he's assuming it's to keep Kjoll in line and tell him to behave himself and not fuck someone on their hosts bed. He's a good sport and tries the mechanical bull, and does alright!

@apexulansis Zoviary is here because Kjoll made him and he's not liking the loud riotous social function. But Gordon gave him a job to distract him and it's to keep Gluttony and Kjoll OUT of the kitchen so he's obviously doing his job right and pointing a gun at Glutt. Adraka is here because it sounded like fun and they felt bad for Gordon. And Xaallo needs to be a good friend. He tries the mechanical bull and actually does okay and has a great time at the party. Drags Xaa out to dance several times.

@skxrbrand Skarbrand doesn't know why the fuck he's here, probably followed Khazaan cause he thought he was trying to escape also what is he doing with all that stuff? He is judging everyone harshly and being aggressive, so Ira takes him outside to go fight somewhere. Kha'xanzyr thought he was boing left out of destroying the rat kingdom and is more than disappointed. He warns Gordon not to keep company with such dangerous creatures and expresses surprise the rat made it to twenty one. He leaves shortly. Khazaan has a whole brewing set up in the living room and is making concoctions to kill God. Petting Runic and telling the chefs they're using too much sugar, more blood, use more brains, they're filling and really good for you. Burn it more.

@velvetwarfare Betty is here for booze, dancing, Gordon's tiddies, and to party hard. Sitting at the counter tasting snacks, cuddling Glutt and teasing people, making fun of Gordon for being a baby. Between party and drinking games of course. And partially taking over the DJ booth. Does pretty well on the mechanical bull.

@heliinx Heliinx is here because everyone seems to be breaking into his home and surely he still adores her riiight? She's telling him to poison the food so he and her can eat everyone and loot them. She's punted out of the kitchen. Seeing Khazaan she hides a lot, but sneaks lots of food and trashes the home looking through and looting his things. Which Qhi'zhek stops.

@warhammer-fantasy-muses Qhi'zhek is here because he's a good friend, dammit. He's having a great time talking with him and Daz in the kitchen and helping make enough food for the uninvited guests. He's also keeping an eye on Kjoll, Zoviary, and especially Heliinx. Ikit is also here because he's a good supportive friend! He's loving the party, too. Not helpful in the kitchen but he loves helping Khazaan make the most lethal abominations known to alcoholism. Did not last one second on the mechanical bull.

@themosthatedbeingg Lucifer showed up dressed all nice for his new bestie with a nice gift. And very quickly ends up escalating the bullshittery of the small group of ragers in the living room. He hasn't been to a wild party in some time and he's having so much fun! He's just one of the guys! He uses his magic to help decorate. Did not last five seconds on the mechanical bull.

@onlywrath Satan arrived to be supportive of Gordon also he's not over him. He brought decorations, games, and a sick sound system to add to the DJ station. And a fucking mechanical bull of course. He's happy to meet Gordon's mother, too! He also has the highest score on the mechanical bull and no one can touch that score. No matter how hard Xaallo tries.

@vehxmence Daz is here because he was probably part of the instigation board for the surprise bash. He's in the kitchen with Gordon learning recipes and being a nuisance. Anything to see those ears shiver and that annoyed scowl on their face. And maybe he's taking an interest in their hobbbies and wants to be close to them for softer more genuine reasons... Him and Qhi hit it off as well and talk about how adorable Gordon is. He also loves that Gordon's choosing to stay in the kitchen with him rather than go party with the others. Azriel is here because he's met the rat once or twice and if Daz gets to go so does he. Az is play wrestling with Ira and chatting up the rest of the party. And eating everything he can get his hands on. And shaking Heliinx upside down to give up what she's trying to steal.

@kingbcwser (I've been following you awhile I guess?) Bowser heard surprise birthday rager and didn't care if he was invited. He's dancing and fist pumping to the music, playing music (He brought a band and DJ setup) playing drinking games, him and Betty hit it off smashingly. He bothers Gordon a bit because it's only polite to pay homage to the birthday boy also he's making all the delicious food. Did very badly on the mechanical bull but he's having a blast anyway. Threatens to take over Gordon's kingdom. Doesn't care if he breaks stuff. He's Khaz's new friend. Gordon dislikes him and doesn't know who invited them. Or who they are.

@serpentofslaanesh Lyss is here because many objects of their attention are here. They're chasing and hounding Heliinx and enjoying the party. And also snooping around in all of Gordon's things. Especially the shiny and pretty things. And trying to bother Gordon but they aren't allowed in the kitchen so they play games and get shitfaced with everyone else.

@oflostinfound Hax is here because they and Gordon bonded over nice pants, and they are not missing out on some big ass birthday bash. Does not do well at all on the mechanical bull.

@shiningsilverarmor Eos is here because it's her sweet little rat kings big birthday! She's not gonna let him go unappreciated! She has lots of fun dancing but scolds several other guests for being too rowdy and breaking his things.

@hannah-the-small Gritt and Clem are both here because the rat seemed cool, they heard rager, and supposedly no one else here will know them. And he's royalty. They can take some small things that'd sell for a pretty penny and lots of food. And get shitfaced. Neither of them try the mechanical bull and spend most of the party staying out from underfoot of others. Dancing on a table and drinking their lives away.

@xaallo said: Xaallo coughing once and giving him a thumb's up from the floor

He crouched down next to Xaallo, holding out a hand to help his mate up. Sheepishly, he averted his gaze. “I-I'm sorry, I'm— I'm not used to that.” He looked back down, his rustled fur gradually beginning to lay flat again. “It's a relief you're so resilient, though.”

[serpentofslaanesh]

I hate the fact Lyss would absolutely get on with Kjoll.

And probably rob his mini-bar too.

POSITIVITY TIME ! || Accepting

DUDE!!!! Your character/creature creation is top notch. You clearly put a lot of research not only into the characters themself but the DESIGN. It's been great seeing you develop your characters and your art skills. The passion shines through and you should keep it up.

Encountering great beasts while out in the wilds was not at all uncommon for the tiefling. Of course most of those meetings were far from... enjoyable. And were often met with getting lost in the opposite direction. So as he heard something big moving about, he opted to stand very, very still. Even his familiar was frozen on his shoulder.

"Please don't be an owlbear..." he whispered to himself softly.

Even with three decades under the belt, Valvossa had never fully acclimatized to the Curse. She had learned to work around it, but it was impossible to keep it under total control; such was the nature of the Beast. She was miles from civilization by the time the full moon hung high in the sky and miles more when the sun had begun its approach in the east.

She woke sometime during dawn, eyes hazy, hair a tangled, wild mess. She could see her breath in the morning air. Confusion only lingered for a moment; old hat at this that she was, she knew what to expect. Naked in the brush, her skin slick with blood but curiously free of wounds.

Valvossa inhaled sharply, pushing her sweat-and-blood-slicked hair back from her face, cradling the incline of her skull. Her head throbbed, worse than any hangover.

“N'chow, my head...”

"Dislocation is nothing. Ever broke a bone?"

ㅤㅤ" ...you're jokin', right? "ㅤan eyebrow raises, the question sounding unimpressed.

ㅤㅤ" like, you're not seriously askin' me that, right? me? you think there's a chance i've never broken a bone? "ㅤthey'd laugh in his face if they didn't somehow manage to find the whole thing annoyingly insulting to their well-known delinquency and risk-taking behaviour.

ㅤㅤ" you seen the kinda shit i do?! 'course i've broken a bone! i've broken so many at this point that i've lost count! "ㅤan exaggeration; it's certainly happened more than it should have, but they can still count the number of breaks on two hands.ㅤ" tch. 'eVeR bRoKeN a BoNe?' what a stupid fuckin' question. "

The gray faces were right. Ardaka was right. The pup did have a mother. A very very angry mother.

Ira is galloping at full speed, snorting through her nose and cracking the earth under her great claws, spurts of flame and molten earth spewing out of the ground behind her. Wings spread. Eyes fixed. On the strange moose that had her pup. Her great roar shook the cores of any who heard it as the mare bore down on them with terrifying speed for her size. The pup in @Xaallo 's pouch would immediately start to scream and cry from the terrible noise...

Only when she was standing literally over the margaven, did she stop on a dime. The wind rushing around her legs as she lowers her muzzle to be level with this... Strange. Creature. that was altogether about two feet shorter than her skull, and barely reached her knee standing. So she looked him in the eyes. Hers as big as his head. And angry... Waiting...

𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐗𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎 - 2024

First image of 2024! I never drew a 2023 Xaallo, so I felt it only fitting that my first piece of 2024 be the fluff boy! Here's the 2022 for comparison. I haven't been here much but that doesn't mean I haven't been drawing! I've been at @skxrbrand, doodlin' daemons~

[crystal-grotto]

Does she count as a lizard?

@xaallo / continued from x

In a way, Ardaka was only surprised it hadn't happened sooner. Perhaps he hadn't considered enough what it actually meant to begin to acknowledge himself again. All parts of himself. That part of him — that other life that wasn't an other life, because it was his. Ardaka hated that concept, the idea that no matter how far away it was, it was still attached to him. Tethered to him like a chain. It was only right, only fitting, but Ardaka hated it all the same.

Of course, none of those thoughts occurred to him presently. In his dream, Vsentis tastes blood in his mouth. It was the blood of the thing beneath his grasping claws, teeth bared for the killing bite. You should kill with your teeth. The weapons you were born with, they'd said before, regarding the guns distastefully.

The distinct taste of it roused the kariian to consciousness in the next moment, but he tastes the blood, and sees the silver on his claws, Xaallo's body beneath him, and he wrenches back harshly with a keening gasp. Eyes dart over the margaven alongside his hands at first, searching for the same bite in panic and alarm. Before Xaallo wakes, Ardaka thinks he might have killed his mate.

Yet even when the margaven rouses, even consoles him — it doesn't comfort him. What if I did? The kariian's mind and mouth don't speak the same words — he doesn't even hear what he says. His hands pulled up tightly to his chest, as if he were trying to hide his bloodied claws. The subsiding terror spikes when Xaallo moves closer, panic flaring alongside an oncoming shame so great he could feel it well up his throat.

He stumbles back at first, just enough to bump against the wall, then quickly dodges to the side and bolts out of the room. He couldn't stay here — anywhere but here. What if I did? The thought repeats through his mind like a mantra. You could. You hurt things. You kill things. That's what you do. You hurt him. Sooner or later—

Still thinking of the recent memory, he can't recall the details. Just the attack. The taste. How good it tasted. It conflicted harshly with the fear, yet only exacerbated it.

Thankfully — or maybe not — for Xaallo, the overwhelming onset of emotion doesn't have Ardaka thinking clearly. He quickly forgets the layout of the Triad's current configuration or any vocal command the ship's AI might've obeyed, spoken in Zahhan or otherwise. When Xaallo catches up to him again, Ardaka faces him with less immediate terror, but still backs away. In the dark, a faint red glow wells up under his eyes and down his cheeks.
