"you will be working on locating number five instead" reginald instructed the young girl. she raised her head in shock.

"what?"

"come, we must work in solitude" he ignored her confusion, uncaring for her feelings as usual. he lead her down the stairs. she only remembered coming down here once as a child, it was when vanya was sick. reginald showed her to a vault like room. she stared at it, unsure.

"you will be training down here from now on, your siblings will not disrupt you down here"

the h/c haired girl stared at the room with wide eyes. her siblings wouldn't disrupt her or she wouldn't disrupt them..?

————————————————–

"like i said to your son earlier, any information about the prosthetics we build is strictly confidential. without the client's consent i simply can't help" lance biggs sat in his office chair, staring at klaus as he talked. five stood beside the chair y/n sat in, hands in pockets and annoyed.

"well, we can't get consent if you don't give us a name" five leaned in, gritting his teeth.

"well, that's not my problem" lance shrugged, "sorry, now there's really nothing i can do so.."

"oh, what about my consent?" klaus looked up now, gaining five and y/n's attention. what was he doing? "who gave you permission to lay your hands on my son?"

"what?" the other three people in the room all spoke in unison.

"you heard me"

"i didn't touch your son" lance argued, glancing at five.

"oh, really?" klaus begun to lean forwards, moving to stand up. "well then how did he that swollen lip then?"

"he doesn't have a swollen lip-" lance was cut off as klaus struck five across the face. five touched a hand to his now bleeding lip, glaring at klaus in confusion.

"and, what about my daughter? how dare you lay a hand on her. she's so sweet and innocent" klaus turned to y/n now, gesturing to her. she awaited a hit now, sure he was going to punch her. "how could you assault her like that?" and just as she thought he slapped a hand across her face, leaving a bright red hand print.

"i want it. name please, now" klaus turned back to lance, leaning on his desk. the doctor raised a shaky finger at him.

"you're crazy"

"you got no idea" klaus laughed breathlessly before taking notice of the snow globe resting on the desk. he picked it up smiling as he read it. "'peace on earth' that's so sweet" y/n jumped in surprise as he smashed it over his head, groaning in pain. he held his hands to his face for a moment before looking back up, hair dripping with water and glitter. blood dripped down the side of his head.

lance quickly dialled a number into the phone, lifting it to his ear. he was still in shock, "i'm calling security- what are you doing?!"

y/n stood and gently gripped five's blazer sleeve, pulling him back as klaus ripped the phone from lance's grip. five glanced at her in confusion but then realised what was happening as he barely missed an elbow to the face as klaus dramatically cried into the phone.

"there's been an assault in mr biggs office and we need security now, schnow!" klaus slammed the phone back onto the table before leaning close to lance. "here's what's gonna happen grant"

"it's lance-"

"in about 60 seconds, two security guards are gonna burst through that door and they're gonna see a whole lot of blood and they're gonna wonder what the hell happened and we're gonna tell them that you, beat the shit out of us" klaus breathed for a moment standing up straight now, staring the doctor down. "you're gonna do great in prison grant, trust me, i've been there. little piece of chicken like you, oh my god you're gonna get passed around like a.. you're gonna do great, that's all i'm saying" klaus waved his hand, smiling.

five smirked now, proudly standing beside klaus. y/n nervously stood behind five, watching over his shoulder.

"jesus, you're a real sick bastard" lance stared up at him, stunned.

"thank you" klaus spat out a piece of glass.

————————————————–

"focus, number eight!" reginald shouted once again, frustrated as she failed once again to find her missing brother. she squeezed her eyes closed tighter, trying to ignore his insults.

it had been almost 6 years since five had disappeared and around 1 since ben died. she had spent that year working on finding her brother only to be unsuccessful. it was like he had dropped off the face of the earth, she didn't know how her father expected her to find him.

she needed to focus. her eyes glazed over again as she opened them, turning black for the sixth time that hour. her hands glowed a soft white colour in her lap as her powers worked. she couldn't hear her father anymore.

she opened her eyes slowly to see destruction. where was she? she notices a store behind her, flames still burning endlessly upon rubble. carefully she walked into what was left of the department store. there sat a mannequin in a white top with black dots, only the top half of the mannequin was still undamaged, she had a single arm and no hair but what was left of her body was fine. suddenly someone walked through y/n. she stared at the boy for a moment, recognising him as her missing brother.

"five..?"

————————————————–

klaus sat atop the bench while five sat across from lance who searched through the files. y/n stood in between the two, arms crossed and guarded as she watched everything over klaus' shoulder. her face still slightly hurt, hand print clearly visible.

lance nervously flicked through the file five was looking for before pausing as he read it.

"huh.. that's strange"

"what?" five snapped impatiently,

"uh the eye, it hasn't been purchased by a client yet" lance looked up at him now,

klaus jumped off the bench, stepping behind lance. "what? what do you mean?"

"well, our logs say that the eye with that serial number.." klaus stepped over to his other side and leaned over his left shoulder. "this can't be right, it hasn't even been manufactured yet. where did you get that eye?"

lance, klaus and y/n all looked to five. where did he get that eye?

————————————————–

he was a little older than she remembered but he was definitely the same boy that ran away all those years ago. he didn't answer her voice, not hearing her at all. she frowned, watching as he dug through what was left of the store. he was searching for something useful.

while he dug through scraps she went back to the beautiful mannequin. she was surprised at how it had managed to stay okay through all of this destruction around them. she reached a hand out to touch her before she heard five's voice. had he seen her?

"five" she smiled, turning to him only for him to walk right through her again. she frowned, why couldn't he see her? she tried to grab his arm but her hand only phased through. she was like a ghost.. where was she? where was five? "five, can you hear me?" she stood in front of him, trying everything to get his attention.

"five? five!" why couldn't she help him? she just wanted to help. she felt so useless, watching him walk around and gather materials. she couldn't speak to him, he couldn't hear her..

————————————————–

"well, this is not good" five breathed out in annoyance as they exited the building.

"i was pretty good though right? 'yeah, what about my consent, bitch?'" klaus grinned, giddy as they stepped out. y/n sighed at her brother, trailing behind.

"klaus, it doesn't matter" five snapped, stopping on the last step to glare at him. klaus stopped just after, turning to face him.

"what? what? what? what's the big deal with this eye anyway?" klaus carelessly threw his hand in the air, not at all bothered.

"there's someone out there who's going to lose an eye in the next seven days. they're going to bring about the end of life on this earth as we know it" five spoke seriously, stressed.

y/n's eyes narrowed. that's where he had been..

————————————————–

she felt herself being pulled away, like someone was tugging her. she fought, wanting to stay, she needed to help him. she needed to tell five he could get back, she could help him, she would.

she continued to call for him even though she knew it was useless. she wasn't able to help him no matter how hard she tried. she was like a ghost. five finally stopped rummaging, now noticing the mannequin behind her.

"how did you.." he spoke softly, he even sounded the same. god, she missed him. she almost broke down again as he walked through her, picking up the mannequin softly. just as y/n faded she reached her hand out, trying to touch him. her hand instead gripped the mannequin. she shouted in pain as she felt like she was being torn apart. she squeezed her eyes shut hoping the pain would stop.

when her eyes opened again she found herself in that same room with her father scowling down at her. he watched her for a moment, for once allowing her to calm down. she slowed her breathing, wiping away the tears on her cheeks, bitterly.

"report, number eight?" reginald asked, impatiently glaring.

"i.." she paused, she couldn't tell him. she would find five on her own if she had to but she couldn't tell him, she wouldn't. she was a failure. she couldn't tell him she couldn't do it, the punishment would be too great. "i didn't find him.."

reginald clicked his tongue in disappointment. "you are dismissed until further notice. training will not resume"

"what? but what about five-"

"number five is gone and you can do nothing to help him if you keep failing, number eight. you are too weak. you are dismissed" he snapped, narrowing his eyes, daring her to talk back again.

she stayed silent.

————————————————–

klaus paused before ignoring five's ominous tone, "yeah, can i get that twenty bucks like now or what?"

"your twenty bucks?" five stared at him in disbelief.

"yeah, my twenty bucks"

"the apocalypse is coming and all you can think about it getting high?" five got up in klaus' face, annoyed. how could he not care that the world was ending?

"hey, um.. five?" y/n tried to diffuse the situation before anything could happen. she didn't need another family fight.

"well, i'm also quite hungry" "tummys-a-rumbling, grr" klaus grinned, patting his stomach and imitating gurgling sounds.

"you're useless.." the boy clad in uniform mumbled, incredulous. "you're all useless!" he begun to walk away to the stairs of the building.

"five? hey, come on. i'm sure we can do something else to stop the-" y/n smiled softly, walking behind him, holding his blazer sleeve. klaus interrupted her.

"oh, come on, you need to lighten up, old man" he stayed where he was, exasperated. "klaus!" y/n scolded, sitting beside five only to be ignored. "hey, you know i've just now realised why you're so uptight! you must be horny as hell. all those years by yourself, that's gotta screw with your head, being alone" he acted sympathetic as he sat on five's other side. y/n rolled her eyes, he was definitely just doing this for his money.

"well, i wasn't alone" five stared off while he fiddled with his fingers.

"oh? pray tell" klaus turned, interested.

five looked up now, reminiscent. "her name was dolores, we together for over 30 years"

"30 years? oh wow, god, the longest i've been with someone was.. i don't know.. three weeks?" five's eyebrows furrowed, bored. he looked around for an escape. "and that's only because i was so tired of looking for a place to sleep-" he noticed a cab driving by and took y/n's hand before blinking into the cab. "he did make the most fantastic ossobuco though, it was.. five? y/n?"

the pair appeared the back of the cab, scaring the driver. "don't stop. just keep going" five instructed before leaning out the window and saluting condescendingly at klaus.

"hey, hey, hey, hey! what about my money?!" he shook his hand, angrily yelling at them.

————————————————–

"y/n, dear" grace smiled at her, standing in the doorway to the library. her siblings stood around their mother, all ready for bed. she was going to tuck them in. "it's bed time, come now, let's get you ready"

y/n stared at her books for a moment before ultimately sighing and following along. she brought two with her though. diego walked beside her, as grumpy as usual and only there because he was a mommy's boy. his eyebrows furrowed in confusion however at the books in her hands.

"why do you need books on physics and probability?" y/n looked up at him, surprised he was talking to her. usually her siblings ignored her now that she wasn't part of their missions. she stared at him for a moment, deciding whether to tell him or not. with a glance at the cameras in the room she decided against it.

"none of your business" she muttered quietly, curling her arms around the books, holding them to her chest. it gave diego a look at the equations written on her arm though. what was she up to?

he dropped it nonetheless. he didn't care too much if he was being honest, what she did was her business.. for now.

she was going to find him. she had to. with her books splayed out around her she made sure to stay to the quiet corner of the library, the one no camera in this house reached. loose sheets and notebooks filled with equations sat messily in front of her, decorating her wide array of books. if she could only tell five she could help him. he was surely smart enough to figure this out on his own but how long would it take him? she wanted him to come back sooner not later.

"come on, you can do this" she clenched her hands into fists, glowing white as she focused. her eyes turned black and she looked around. she couldn't move, she was stuck. she noticed five walking around but her body wouldn't do what she wanted it to. he walked over now however, did he finally see her? he smiled, taking a seat beside her. she noticed a book in his hand but she couldn't read what it was. he scribbled in it, focused. the only she noticed was that she was sat in red wagon, unmoving and unblinking. what was wrong with her?

five wrote down a few more numbers, showing her what he had written so far. it was similar to what sat beside her earlier. "i've almost got the equations dolores"

what..? her name wasn't dolores?

she gasped as she was shaken back to reality. looking up she found a concerned looking klaus with diego a few feet behind him.

"oh god" klaus sighed in relief as her eyes turned back to normal. "i thought you died or something"

"idiot, if she was dead her powers wouldn't have been working" diego scoffed although he too looked quite relieved she was okay.

"what were you doing?" klaus sat beside her now, staring at the numerous equations in front of him.

"what are you doing? shouldn't you be training or something?" she frowned, annoyed at having been caught and interrupted.

"we asked you first" diego countered, crossing his arms.

"i was practicing, nothing you should be concerned about" she waved it off, packing up her books and notes.

"it looks like a lot more than practicing, eight" he moved closer, stepping on the sheet she was about to pick up. he leaned over her, watching her carefully. she eyed him back, just as daring.

"you don't know what it looks like, two" she stated calmly, still holding the sheet.

"c'mon, y/n, just tell us what you're doing" klaus whined, "what are we gonna do? tell dad? we're not luther"

y/n snorted, remembering the jokes they used to make about luther sniffing dad's underwear. "fine, i was looking for five, dad stopped my training" diego stepped back now, confused.

"why would he stop your training?"

y/n paused, looking guilty. she glanced nervously between the two of them before waving them down towards her, whispering. "you can't tell anyone.. i lied to dad, i did find five"

"you're kidding" both boys stared at her in disbelief.

"why would you l-lie? w-w-w-what are you going to do if h-h-he finds o-out?!" diego freaked out now, his stutter coming out in his nervousness.

"he's not going to find out. he doesn't care about me now, i'm practically useless to him now" she shrugged, continuing to stack her papers again. "besides i can't move or talk to five whenever i find him, i just.. exist. i'm like a ghost or something. i still need to figure out how to communicate with him" she sighed heavily. first, she wanted to figure out what book he was reading. she had never seen it before.

————————————————–

"what are we doing?" y/n and five stood outside the department store.

"i thought i said no questions until later" he raised an eyebrow at her. "we're just here to get something" she shrugged and he held her arm before blinking them inside. they walked around for a moment, using five's flashlight.

"oh my god! five look!" y/n gushed, noticing postcards on a stand. "they have so many cities!" he stared at her for a second, confused by her fascination before remembering she had never really left the house. she gasped suddenly, turning around and holding up a fluffy bunny keychain. "it's so cute!"

a small fond smile grew on five's face as she took interest in the small, almost useless items that the store had to offer. with a sad look she turned to him, still holding the white bunny keychain. "five.. can i keep it?"

he paused, he was about to take dolores so he didn't see why not. if he said no he would be hypocritical.

"fine. but don't touch anything else, okay? we can't risk getting caught" he nodded before walking away. y/n grinned, hooking the keychain into her belt loop before looking around.

five finally found dolores, looking up at her. "dolores.. it's good to see you"

"i've missed you, obviously.. well, it's been a rough couple of days" y/n couldn't see who he was talking to but heard his voice. she frowned, he had gone through a lot.

suddenly five yelled, "no!" and then there were gunshots. y/n dropped to the floor, praying five was alright. she ducked behind a gardening stand. five appeared beside her and she almost screamed. he held a finger to his lips, shushing her. she nodded, watching as he grabbed a spade, testing it's swing before disappearing again.

she watched as he fought one of the two shooters, slicing their arm before running again. she couldn't see him after that, not until he came back over with a bag, pulling her with him. they ducked down one of the aisles and he tried to spatial jump but it didn't work. he was too tired.

"shit.. come on!" he tried again. in a last effort they ran and jumped over a stall, caught as the lights from the guns shone on them like headlights. both five and y/n froze.

"got him" the one with the pink mask spoke before they were distracted by sirens. five used this to their advantage, pulling y/n out and away from the line of fire. they stayed behind a stand, waiting for the masked shooters to leave before they did themselves.

as they sat y/n finally got a good look at dolores, freezing when she realised she knew the mannequin.

"oh my god.."

"what?" five furrowed his eyebrows at her.

"you were in a relationship with.. a mannequin?" she looked up at him in disbelief. the mannequin was not her issue though.

"look, if you have a problem-" he glared, ready to defend himself but she shook her head.

"no, no. i get it.. it's just.. " she trailed off awkwardly.

"what?" he snapped, getting impatient.

"five.. my soul was in that mannequin"

Away from a Mechanistic View of Narrative

At the risk of of repeating myself without adding anything new, I wanted to write just once more on the culturally dominant response to the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne on the part of their playerbases. For me, one of the most remarkable things about these games is the, what I like to call, communal archaeology they have inspired. After having been involved, at varying degrees, with the medium for most of my life, I can say that this engagement is very unlike that of most other games’, and even other contemporaneous media, and goes well beyond the meme of kids sharing rumors about how to get the Triforce or whatever on the schoolyard playground. Some cumulative effect of these titles’ aesthetics, occurring at perhaps the right time and right place, has inspired a years-long commitment to unearthing their mysteries.

Speaking to the exactitudes of these phenomena is difficult -- maybe impossible. Who can really say why “Gangnam Style” took off? The answers offered are multifarious, yet they never settle the matter. Over time, voices of authority have risen alongside this archaeology, chief among them VaatiVidya, whose main contribution has been producing videos which attempt to explicate the games’ characters and narratives (and whose work has been supplemented by others, like Lance McDonald), and which, for the Dark Souls trilogy, appear to have culminated in the multi-authored video, “Project: Dark Souls - The Complete Story of the Dark Souls Trilogy.” If you read my comment about this video and concluded that my central problem with it and the surrounding culture was people putting forth conclusions at all, you’re wrong -- but that’s fine.

VaatiVidya’s video on the Dark Souls boss Pinwheel is as good a place as any to clarify a point. Never once is the question posed, or answered, of why Pinwheel could be a noteworthy character, or how their symbolics might have intertextual value with broader resonance within Dark Souls’ mythologies and those external to itself. Instead, our starting point is, “Wow, this character looks MESSED UP,” with the immediate and ultimate conclusion being that Pinwheel, hunchbacked and wearing three masks, is literally an entire family -- a mother, father, and child -- under one cloak. A series of ravine-sized leaps of self-indulgent fanfiction are then made about Pinwheel’s history, moreover with the presumption that the protagonist in this story could be none other than the father figure. When it ends, we have learned nothing except someone’s extrapolation of an unseen, imaginary sequence of events, comparable in their banality to Dark Souls 2′s dead-on-arrival causal narratives about greediness making you into a fat slug demon or feminine vanity making you lose your head.

The overwhelming responses to these videos -- “This is so much darker than I realized” -- suggests that their valuation is rather in prompting a collective amazement over how “surprisingly dark” the games are. For people whose diet and comprehension of media remains stuck in adolescence, an almost ludicrously bleak and morbid spectacle is the apical signifier of adult media (for an example of this, refer to the short fan-film, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, which reimagines the Mortal Kombat universe so repulsively that it seems foreign even to a series founded on and known for its violence; it was met with praise).

“Prepare to Cry” is, in a way, a “clever” turn of phrase for visibility; in another way, it is so, so reflective of a misguided aim, which is to provide a tonal consistency and simple emotional takeaway, effectively turning the Dark Souls mythos into a dependable brand.

Look at this thing. Isn’t it fucked up? It’s so dark and messed up. And it’s tragic. I’m crying manly tears. Dark Souls, why you gotta be so dark? ;_;

Were it of a minor trend, were it used as a springboard for socio- and mythological comprehensions, this kind of analysis would still be deserving of criticism. The bigger problem is that it’s very nearly all that there is, it’s been this way for almost a decade, and the unquestioned institutionalizing of “experts” like Epicnamebro has created a petrified canon whose defenses as the solely correct interpretations amount to appeals to authority. You can go through hundreds of these things, too, text or video, and the most you’re bound to find are slight nods towards Joseph Campbell or H. P. Lovecraft.

To me, these are signs of an audience hardly reading and being uninterested in media as cultural expression and instruction. Now, when a person plays Dark Souls for the first time in front of those who have, the audience’s interest, beyond schadenfreude and backseat-optimizing statistics, is if the player will figure out the "correct" narrative. And once that’s done, that’s all there is. Even within Vaati’s inane father-focused backstory about Pinwheel, there is an opportunity to say something about Dark Souls’ patriarchal themes, but this is consigned to being a matter of fact.

In 2014, author Michael Thomsen published a review for Dark Souls 2 entitled, “Is Dark Souls II the Worst Game Ever Made?” His conclusion was: yes. As you might expect, this made a lot of people very confused and very mad. I have never shared Thomsen’s final judgments about Dark Souls 2 or the first game (according to him, also the worst game ever made) because I think they are, in actuality, interpretations of the games mangled by an overexposure to what I’ve been describing. But in that sense, select parts of Thomsen’s review are excellent and almost unheard of critiques of this culture wherein the potential meaningfulness of narratives is usurped by the self-referentiality and insularity of simulacra.

...Victories and discovery only become meaningful to an audience who knows how much work must be put into them, and so these player tales are implicitly clouded by the unspoken murk of failure and defeat. This structure of play is ideally matched with a culture of emotionally and socially isolated individuals—still primarily men—who rush toward non-intimate prompts for social exchange, creating the impression of a community without requiring any reciprocal vulnerability nor emotional obligation. Dark Souls provides an empirical baseline to use in describing one's own experience, which makes admissions of weakness or incompetence tolerable through the impersonal nature of the game's system. There is no psychoanalytic backdrop to distinguish sorcerers from warriors or thieves.

It's often argued that Dark Souls II teaches players, but one rarely hears about what is being taught. In its exploded plot we are told about love, guilt, greed, sex, war, chauvinism, hatred, and many other safely fictive themes, but we aren’t taught anything about them, nor are they presented in a way in which players could meaningfully begin to experiment with them on their own. The game only teaches players about itself. The amount of time and effort spent in learning its lessons is dramatically outweighed by the significance of having that knowledge.

...Baudrillard described an arbitrary sign as something produced when, "instead of linking two persons in an unbreakable reciprocity, the signifier starts referring back to the disenchanted world of the signified, a common denominator of the real world to which no one has any obligation." Videogames produce this sort of paradox in requiring depersonalized adherence to arbitrary order to qualify as play, while simultaneously engendering forgetfulness of the ethics surrounding them the more game-like they become.

Taglist: @queenscene2 and @toastess-with-the-mostess

@breadstickcat mentioned wanting to see the Monsters and Mana game from this drabble, so I delivered.

Sven’s face flickered on the screen, where he was projecting from his hospital room on Ebb. His doctor approved him to run the game every Saturday, so after some convincing on Coran’s part, they sat around the lounge table with their dice and character cards.

“Alright, before ve start, everyone go around and say voo your characters are real quickly.” Sven spoke up, after all introductions were made.

“I’m Maxi, an elven shapeshifter.” Allura said, rolling a handful of dice in her hand.

“I’m Gremlin, a goblin alchemist.” Pidge grinned.

“That fucking figures.” Lance snorted. “Anyways, I’m a tabaxi archer named Smokey.”

Hunk snickered. “Furry.”

“Shut up!” Lance pushed him over. “I bet you’re not any better!”

Hunk rolled his eyes. “Well, I’m a halfling barbarian named Biggs.”

Keith giggled while Lance rolled his eyes. “Well, I’m Draxis, a tiefling sorcerer who is pretending to be a human wizard named Dean.”

“Of course Keith was the one who went with a complicated backstory.” Hunk rolled his eyes, playfully punching his shoulder. “We’re all out here with half-assed characters, and this dipshit has created a full on backstory and motivations over here.”

Keith rolled his eyes. “Your character is just a gag.”

Sven cleared his throat. “Let’s get started.”

Our heroes are in the town of Tonder, known for agriculture and cattle, but they were arrested. They’re in a large cell with a few cots, and there’s one guard sitting at a table on the other side of the bars.

“So,” the elf, named Maxi, spoke up. “Why are you all in here?”

“I was the one who blew up the market stall in town square.” The goblin, Gremlin, grinned.

“I got in a fight with the cat.” The short but beefy halfling responded, pointing his thumb at the tabaxi.sitting next to him.

Smokey snorted, his tail flicking in the direction of Biggs. “Just because you can’t handle short jokes doesn’t mean I should be arrested for it.”

“You little-” Biggs was interrupted by the guard banging on the bars. “Shut up!”

“What about you?” The wizard, Dean, asked.

“Well, I was smoking some Barbs...”

“So, drug use, got it.”

“No, there’s more to it. You know the bear that appeared in the middle of town...”

“Yeah?”

“That was me.”

“You can turn into a bear!” Gremlin shouted, his eyes wide. “That’s awesome!”

“Why are you here, anyways?” Maxi asked Dean. He just shrugged.

“I tried to rob him and his hands set themselves on fire.” Smokey’s tail flicked again, pointing at the wizard. Dean just leveled a glare at him.

Biggs groaned, leaning back. “What are we going to do to get out of here?”

“I’m an alchemist.” Pidge spoke up, looking through his skills. “Can I look around to see if I can use anything in the cell to make a bomb?”

“Make an Investigation check.” Sven nodded.

Pidge rolled the d20 in his hand. “That’s a natural 20! It’s a 24, baby.”

“You find all the ingredients you need.”

“Great. Then I’m going to make a bomb.”

“Roll a d20.”

Pidge rolled the d20 again. “15.”

“The bomb isn’t pretty, but you’ve got a working bomb.”

Pidge grinned. “Gremlin has his bomb, so he’s gonna say ‘Everyone move out of the way.’ and fucking chuck it.”

“Yeah, we’re all moving.” Allura muttered.

“Pidge, give me a Dexterity check.”

Pidge rolled the d20 again. “That’s a 3.”

Everyone laughed. “We’re all going to die!” Hunk laughed, dramatically flopping backwards.

“Everyone take a d6 of damage.” Sven chuckled. “And roll initiative. You’ve gotta fight the guard...”

A character huh? How about...Aranea?

Five Headcanons About Aranea Highwind

Beauty, grace, and a lady that’ll punch you in the face. She’s a tough cookie with a gentle side sometimes that she refuses to let anyone see without having to act tough soon afterwards. Probably because she grew up most of her life alone. She seems like a lady who was an orphan, unfortunately. But at least she has Biggs and Wedge now!

When she joined the empire as a newly ranked captain, she didn’t know much about imperial etiquette until Biggs and Wedge had to teach her the ropes on how to not lose her head. Good thing too, because after calling Ravus a pussy, she knew what it was like to be banished to cleaning duty and vowed to never relive that feeling again.

Bra? What’s a bra? No, just kidding, but Aranea probably doesn’t really need to wear one that often, with her armor mostly being enough to support her. No need for that extra wires and over-sized padding when she can just wear a tank top and call it good. Wears it only when she has to, which is when she’s got formal occasions going on for her.

She seems like a sucker for the sappy romantics and the sappy heroes and… Well, most anything sappy. She likes Ignis’s flowery talk, Prompto’s optimism, and Noctis’s determination, and honestly finds them things that she hopes to become one day. Well, not so much the flowery talk. She’ll just enjoy it and be herself regardless.

She probably secretly likes cute accessories, like little chocobo or moogle charms, that sort of thing. Has them hanging on her lance or belt after she got a few charms as a gift from Biggs and Wedge. Anyone who dares make fun of her for it will see the tip of her lance impale into their throats because, fuck them. Those charms are cute, dammit.

#asks #thatkanragirl #stephic writings #headcanons #final fantasy xv #ffxv #aranea highwind #aranea #the dragon queen aranea #FROM THE TOP ROPES!#aranea cuddling a moogle doll while fighting off a legion of MTs is a delightful thought #you can call her queen beeeeeeee!

So I’m nasty. Sue me.

Did somebody ask for AraNoct smut? *looks around* No? WELL HAVE SOME ANYWAY!

@ffxvrarepairsweek

Title: Never Meant To Be Pairing: Aranea x Noctis = AraNoct Rating: NSFW, I repeat, Not Safe For Weenies! NC-17! R! Mature! Day 4 Prompt: comforting/omen!Character

*double finger guns*

Kill the Lucii prince on sight. That were Aranea’s orders the moment she was dispatched from Gralea months ago.

Killing him wasn’t exactly what she was doing when she let the crown prince – now king of Lucis push her face first against the nearest wall, ripping off her armor piece by piece.

Something was wrong with him. This wasn’t the description they gave of Noctis Lucis Caelum when she was debriefed. He sounded like a young fool at the time, one who was exceptionally trained in all manners of weaponry yes, but a fool all the same. Who would optimistically put it in his head to go against Niflheim. Him and his three friends. The four of them against the entire force of Niflheim’s army.

But that naiveté has died over the months.

When she met Noctis alone for the second time however, nothing of that light of hope was anywhere visible on him.

“Where are your friends?” The Commodore asked him with that typical air of imperiousness in her tone, when she had her lance pinned against the delicate skin of his neck.

“Dead.” He replied, unfazed of where her weapon was. “A long time ago. One by one.”

“A shame.” Aranea was anything but remorseful. “I really liked the bespectacled one.”

She expected him to flinch, but his reaction was much more severe than that. He warped so fast, bringing her along with him. Her world blazed out of orientation, her vision dizzy, when he had her against a wall with him behind her, twisting her arm back to the point where it hurts, but not enough to cause unrelenting pain. He pushed himself against her, making her cheek scratch roughly on the brick wall in front of her.

“Somebody got a soft spot.” She tried to wiggle some leeway from his grip so she could kick him, but he held her tighter, his body pushing on hers.

And then she felt the length of his erection press between her ass cheeks. She froze.

“Don’t ever speak of them again.” Noctis growled against the back of her ear.

There was real anger in his voice, she could hear it. She felt him pulsing through their layers of clothes and Aranea didn’t know whether to be scared or turned on right now.

It wasn’t in her nature to show fear, not even in the face of danger. She collected daemons, worked with creepy lifeless MT’s, stood in the presence of the slimy Verstael… some horny little runaway prince wasn’t going to daunt her.

“Did I hit a nerve there?” She smirked, despite him twisting her arm a tad bit further. “Sad that your friends are gone and leaving you with no one to play with at night?”

The implication wasn’t lost on him and the press of his body against her backside elevated. He let go of her, only to cut her off by crushing her windpipe.

“You want me to play?” His unoccupied hand traveled from the center of her chest to her hip, tracing the line of her pants.

Up until this point, Aranea suspected he was just confused, mourning and angry at the world for having lost his brothers in arms. They were high in the sky when Biggs caught a major daemon activity nearby. A very rare daemon was caught up in a chase, and upon closer inspection, Aranea saw that no one else than the future king of Lucis was swapping strikes, by himself, with a Cerberus, of all daemons.

He was slaying the daemon amidst an abandoned farm, and as soon as the black particles of the daemon joined the rest of its scourge, Aranea pinned him down a moment later.

In hindsight, the position that she landed on him wasn’t probably the best.

Or maybe it was. He smiled, one such smile she had never seen on him before. It never reached his eyes. “Kiss me or kill me.” He told her coldly when she had her lance against his throat, his hands itching towards her hips.

“What makes you think I want to kiss you?”

The grin that grew on his face was uncharacteristic of him, and she should have been alarmed by that, but Aranea has always been a thrill seeker. She sought adventure since the days that she was a young girl and running in the wrong crowd easily got her into wet work. Lots of cash, rush of adrenaline, laughing in the face of danger…

The same kind of danger that proposes itself at the idea of disobeying Niflheim. Her orders were to kill him, not kiss him.

Noctis decided for her. Ignoring the weapon at his throat, he came forward, pulling her face closer to claim her lips.

The kiss wasn’t gentle and it wasn’t sweet, and his fingers were harsh in her hair.

But the wrongness of it all thrilled her, like it wasn’t supposed to. She wasn’t supposed to leave him alive for this long or kiss him or enjoy the way he gripped her. She wasn’t supposed to suck on his tongue nor roll her hips against his.

The action made the prince groan under her and he bit her lip, right as Aranea pulled away from him. As nice as this was, something was amiss with him and she asked where his friends were. And now she was pressed face first against a brick wall of an old farm house. His hands tight on her, pushing his hips against her ass, finding ways to get her pants off of her.

She should have known better than to play with her prey and now she was at the mercy of this stranger with the face of Prince Caelum.

And yet the thrill, the gross excitement that she could kill him when he least expected it made her want this. The mercenary in her knew when she wanted strike and see her victory on his face as the life seeped out of him.

And while his hands yanked down her pants, a sword appeared between them so he could cut it right down the middle, leaving her naked with pieces of her leather pants stuck to her legs and her heeled boots digging into the earth.

Would she let him fuck her? She wanted him to. She wouldn’t have entertained this for so long if she didn’t.

His fingers were cold and rough on her breast, hastily unclipping pieces of her top armor until everything fell away, scattered to the ground. Like icicles, his fingers stung the tips if her tits, contrasting the warmth of his hips between her legs.

She bit her lips, wanting to hiss at him when he stepped away from her for just half a heartbeat and came back pressing the length of him into her ass. “You don’t waste any time, do you?” She started to chuckle, that turned into a moan when slid his cock up and down the folds of her pussy. “I’m supposed to kill you.” She sighed with her eyes closed, feeling herself getting wetter on him.

“You will.” Noctis told her between thrusts and wetness dripped down from where they were joined. “One day you’ll manage to kill me. After I’ve returned the favor.”

He whispered the last part that she couldn’t hear and she didn’t care to ask when he moved. Slowly at first, building up a steady rhythm and going fast and faster after each beat. His hands held her hips in place, not allowing her to find her own gratification as she pushed back into him whenever he came forward. His nails dented into her skin and she loved it, arching her back when she couldn’t do anything else.

She wanted him, she wanted to chase that orgasm that escaped her while he hammered into her and the moment he finds his euphoria, she’d kill him.

Blood and jizz. A feast for an adrenaline addict like her.

“You should enjoy this while you can,” Her voice trembled when he stopped as she spoke. “We won’t be able to do this again.” Because you will be dead.

A stream of wetness ran down her leg when he pulled out of her, and she finally turned around. His face was apathetic when she expected to see him blushing, at the very least, at what they were doing. He looked stoically at her, and Aranea didn’t bother to ask him what’s wrong with him, when she was already reaching to rip off the rest of his messy shirt full of holes off his body, letting her hands roam over the muscles of his stomach she never guessed he’d have.

This was the opportune moment to consider her actions and not let this go any further than things already had. They semi-fucked. Which was nice for the time it lasted, but this was wrong on so many levels. And yet she didn’t stop. She didn’t leave when she pulled him closer instead. She didn’t fight when she wanted to screw him instead. She didn’t run when she jumped on his waist and bound her legs around him.

He smirked at her, both the most unsettling and yet sexiest thing she’s ever seen and sank down on his dick once again.

“Yes…” She hissed, legs tightening around him. He may be young and a fool, but he felt hot and tremendous and heavy.

He twitched inside of her and they both cried out. He pulled out and then rammed back in, and they both trembled. He nailed her into the wall and her breasts bounced.

Fuck me, she begged. Fuck me so I can kill you.

Her dagger was the heel of her boot, and it was so close. She could kill him, she will kill him. The pleasure was spiking up her womb, through her spine, making her toes curl. She was so close and her fingers were so close on the hilt of her dagger and his hips slammed into her own.

Just a little more.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw something move. A movement and then a low rumble of a quiet growl that kept her from completing her task.

Over Noctis’s shoulder, a giant Cerberus was nearing, one of its three heads growling in their direction, but didn’t come any closer to them but for a few meters.

“A daemon.” Aranea breather right in Noct’s ear where his head was buried between the junction of her neck and shoulder, but he didn’t seem to care. His fucking was relentless, his only concern in the world.

As soon as she said that to him however, two others came from between the buildings of the farm to join the first one, all three Cerberuses standing before them, not moving, not attacking, not doing anything but stare.

It was extremely rare for a Cerberus to appear – Aranea would know, she was once ordered to retrieve every kind of daemon samples by Niflheim – but three of the same kind at once was unheard of.

They didn’t attack. They just stood there. Nine heads of monstrous hounds staring at the two of them rutting against the wall like animals.

She needed to stop this. She wasn’t entirely sure if she wanted to stop this. Noctis was making her feel good, the Six save her, and she was as ever addicted to the danger the situation presented itself; gamble with her life or her orgasm.

“Daemons,” She said between gasps. “We have to slay them, we have to–”

She couldn’t finish her sentence when one of Noctis’s hands slithered from her legs, fingering her nipple, and then proceeded to crush her windpipe.

She gasped and clawed at his hands to release her, but she heard him laugh in her ear. He didn’t stop, he never stopped jerking inside of her, his cock slippery and dripping and filling her up again and again and again.

He squeezed her throat and she clenched around him.

She couldn’t believe herself. Everything was wrong, everything was insane. He was choking her and fucking her and this is all so sick and twisted.

Just reach for your dagger.

Noctis looked at her, grinning unlike ever before, laughing at her. The sound was evil compared to the constant noises of flesh slapping against flesh. His other hand joined the first around her neck, and she was only kept pinned to the wall by his dick.

Kill him and slay the daemons.

The three Cerberuses were the most curious of all for they only sat there, like dogs waiting for their owner to call them forth. Fire leaked from their snouts, their growls in tandem with Noctis pants every time he hit it deeper.

And then the daemons eyes glowed.

It was an unnatural phenomenon, unlike anything she has ever seen before. They howled and two more Cerberuses appeared out of nowhere, eyes a sickly unnatural yellow. Five pairs there were of them now standing around the two humans in a half circle, as if admiring the way the prince was blowing her back out.

“Noctis!” She tried to warn him in earnest this time at the behavior of the daemons, her voice thin through the way he was choking her.

He didn’t seem to notice, but a particular sharp flick of his hips had her moaning. She could barely breathe, she was about to die by a herd of daemons, but the pleasure was too much to deny. Her nails cut in his arms and her legs pulled him in closer, ever closer.

She could feel it building, washing over her wave after wave that emptied her brain and made scream through her constricted throat, eyes rolling through the back of her head.

And when she dared to open her eyes again, she wished she hadn’t.

Noctis’s eyes were the same sickly yellow as the daemons behind him and the smirk on his face was positively demonic.

And he still didn’t stop fucking her.

“W-what are you?!” She accused, between breaths, but Noctis only pulled her in closer, fucked her deeper.

Fear. She felt it. For the first time in what felt a lifetime, fear coursed its way through her blood.

Grab your dagger.

He didn’t say anything, he didn’t have to. Fear and pleasure mixing together, his hands squeezed her neck, her cunt throbbing.

Grab it now!

She could feel his cock twitching inside of her. The smile on his face stretching. She was scared. Pleasure. Pleasure conquering fear. He’s choking her, drilling into her, her orgasm so close.

And then you kill him.

What kind of disgusting fantasy was she living in? Just kill him.

But he was reaching into the deepest part of her, finding the sweetest point and kept screwing her there over and over until she was leaking all over him, daemonic Noctis and Cerberuses be damned.

She could feel herself come. She couldn’t breathe, she was scared, she was oversensitive, she could feel herself about to orgasm on his cock, she couldn’t believe it. Was she getting off by the way he is choking her? The way his eyes glowed golden? The way he is threatening her life while jackhammering into her? Was this some kind of kink she was developing? She could feel that she was coming all over him.

Stop enjoying this, Highwind. Stab him. Stab! him!

She was coming, she was coming, she wascomingcomingcoming

She could have screamed if she was able to through her strangled through, her fingers pulling at his hair, clenching in his biceps like her pussy was around his cock and the frantic thrusting of his hips showed how much he enjoyed that.

He licked the sweat from between her tits when she felt him fill her and his release ran down between her ass, sticky and thick.

She couldn’t believe herself, what she just did, what she just allowed.

As he was panting against her boobs, she realized that it was now or never. No need to question what he is, what kind of daemon spawn he was becoming when he was going to die anyway.

“Who knew the Lucii prince just did that.” Aranea smirked by way of distracting him. His eyes were dark; not blue, not yellow, but filled with darkness. She slowly reached for the dagger of her boot.

Noctis took a step away from her. A dog appeared by his side. Its fur ashen black, pupils aglow. Freakishly. Evil.

Noctis’s pants hung off his ass and he was still naked. With his cock dripping with their cum, he pet his dog like it was the most normal thing in the world.

The Cerberuses daemons behind them mewled.

Aranea didn’t know what to do. Frozen with fear, she opted to give him at least his last kiss before she took his life, but she never got to.

“This was my gift for you.” The prince told the Commodore, still petting his daemon dog. “For you to remember me by when I see you in hell.”

“What?”

Before she moved, dagger in hand, his face turned white, his lips black with ooze, his eyes glowing death.

Fear. It froze her when she saw him, what he really was, what she just had filling her pussy up till the brim and then some, was this abomination.

Noctis pulled up a weapon and looked at her. “This was never meant to happen.” In his hand was the Trident of the Oracle. “I’m sorry.”

And he stabbed her through the stomach.

11:30 AM – The Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Panel

Super Smash Bros. started off as a crazy experiment by Nintendo that morphed into a game of enormous scope—insanely spanning more than 30 game franchises and featuring third-party characters. With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate due out in December, join us as we rummage through Smash’s history, look at how it’s revived dead franchises, discuss what we want to see in the upcoming game, talk about how it has become a popular competitive fighting game, and learn a few tips from the pros.

PANELISTS: David Johnson [Publication Director, Zelda Universe], Shona Johnson [Project Manager, Zelda Universe], Cody Davies [Community Manager, Zelda Universe], Jack “Pudge” Gorman [Smash Tournament Organiser, Couch Warriors], Joshua “Sora” Lyras [Pro Melee player, ORDER], Nick “Extra” McKenzie [Pro Smash 4 player, Dark Sided]

1:00 PM – Let’s Hack A Video Game!

Have you ever wondered how you might go about breaking into a video game, and twisting its gross, hidden insides to your will? Join Lance McDonald (Warpchair), known for cracking open hidden Bloodborne and Dark Souls secrets, as he performs a live hack of PS1 horror classic Silent Hill using only cutting edge technology from 1999. We’ll show processes, talk methods, and answer your questions about video game hacking!

PANELISTS: Edmond Tran [AU Editor, GameSpot], Lance McDonald [Warpchair]

2:30 PM – Voice Actor Showdown

When it comes to building memorable characters in a game, what you see on screen is only part of the story. So what goes into creating an entire character with just your voice? We grill the experts on the voice acting process and put them through their paces recreating their favourite characters (and maybe a few new ones) live on stage.

PANELISTS: Claire Reilly [Senior Editor, CNET], Cissy Jones [Voice Actor, The Walking Dead, Firewatch], Courtenay Taylor [Voice Actor, Regular Show, Fallout 4]

4:00 PM – Hitman 2: Six Million Ways to Die…Choose One

Join IO Interactive’s Eskil Møhl for an hour of creative, murderous hijinks as he goes hands-on with Hitman 2. And he wants you, the PAX audience, to be an accessory!

PANELISTS: Eskil Møhl [Associate Game Director, IO Interactive], Edmond Tran [AU Editor, GameSpot]

5:30 PM – Zelda Universe Presents: Ocarina of Time, 20 Years Later

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Ocarina of Time, a game that not only influenced the Legend of Zelda series for decades but also quite literally changed the video game landscape. We return to the polygons of the past and discuss how it shaped the industry, whether the game still deserves its accolades, whether it’s still relevant today, and if it’s been surpassed by more recent titles. There will be trivia with prizes for correct answers, so brush up on your knowledge of the game.

PANELISTS: Shona Johnson [Project Manager, Zelda Universe], David Johnson [Publication Director, Zelda Universe], Cody Davies [Community Manager, Zelda Universe], Sebastian Wilkinson [Contributor, Zelda Universe]

Saturday, October 27 (All Times Are AEDT)

10:30 AM – What?! Pokémon is Evolving!

Join a group of six Pokémon community leaders and competitive players, as they come together to talk about how the series has evolved since Red and Blue first fired upon our GameBoys. From how Pokémon GO helped revive the franchise to taking the next steps with Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! & Let’s Go, Eevee!, to picking up some pro tips from actual champs on your road to competitive Pokémon Mastery, to maybe a few extra surprises, there’s no better place for Pokémaniacs to be this weekend.

PANELISTS: Emma Williams, Sam Pandelis, Russell Peters, Tiffany Keane, Alfredo Cheng-Gonzalez, Jesse Wilsone

12:00 PM – Lee Carvallo’s Simpsons Game Reviewing Challenge

You’ve seen plenty of reviews of real Simpsons games, but what about the fictional games of The Simpsons? How DO you Escape From Grandma’s House? What’s the best way to win Triangle Wars? Our panel of Simpsons Superfriends review the best Simpsons games that absolutely don’t exist… except in our cromulent imaginations. As they say in Bonestorm, “Come to this panel or go to hell!”

PANELISTS: Claire Reilly [Senior Editor, CNET], Lucy O’Brien [Games & Entertainment Editor, IGN], Mark Serrels [AU Editor, CNET], Edmond Tran [AU Editor/Senior Producer, GameSpot], David Milner [Editor, Game Informer Australia]

PANELISTS: Joe Park [Harmonious Games], Ash Ringrose [SMG Studios], Henrik Pettersson [The Voxel Agents], Matthew Rowland [League of Geeks], Eugenia Woo [Switch Focus], Edmond Tran [GameSpot]

PANELISTS: Edmond Tran [GameSpot], Jess McDonell [GameSpot], Mark Serrels [CNET], Dan Crowd [IGN], Shannon Grixti [Press Start], Eugenia Woo [Switch Focus]

PANELISTS: Marc Chee [Marc Chee], Natalie Szymczak [Eva Studios]

12:00 PM – Why The Mainstream Media’s Reporting On Fortnite Is Dumb And Harmful

The mainstream media’s coverage of the popular battle royale game Fortnite has been discouraging. Over-the-top, sensational, and unsubstantiated stories are hurting gaming’s perception for the mainstream audience. Come watch a panel of experts discuss why that’s happening and what can be done about it.

PANELISTS: Alice Clarke [Herald Sun], Tim Biggs [Sydney Morning Herald], Chris Ferguson [Stetson Univesity], Raelene Knowles [IGEA], Eddie Makuch [Gamespot]

PANELISTS: Mark Serrels [CNET], Claire Reilly [CNET], Joab Gilroy [Red Bull], Jess McDonell [GameSpot], Dan Crowd [IGN]

3:00 PM – The Great Port Resurgence

Ports, remasters, and remakes of games are getting increasingly common. But how does a new version of a game change the way we see it and play it? We talk about the value and apprehension behind HD re-releases and Nintendo Switch ports, and try to come to a definitive conclusion of what works and what doesn’t.

PANELISTS: Pete Hines [Bethesda], Lee May [Defiant Development], Dean Woodward [League of Geeks], Jess McDonell [GameSpot], Edmond Tran [GameSpot]

4:30 PM – One Perfect Game’s Mario Tennis Invitational 2018
