UNDERWORLD SAGA TIME.

I'm thinking about narrative parallels and paying off character arcs and development again.

Lotor should have been the Black Paladin. He's able to use the black bayard, which doesn't just happen, and it would have been such a good parallel to his father. Because Zarkon was the first Black Paladin, who ended up forming the Galra Empire, becoming the thing that everyone was fighting against for so long. And Lotor was around during that time; he saw first-hand what his father's reign was like! And he wanted to end it. Not so HE could take over and become the new Emperor, but to bring peace. Because that was genuinely what he wanted.

And the idea of seeing this half-Galra, half-Altean man, the son of Zarkon, as one of the people spearheading that change, of working so hard towards peace that the Black Lion accepted him, chose him to be her pilot? It could have been so good.

I have so much more I could say, really, and maybe I'll sit down and write a huge thing about Lotor's entire arc at some point, but I wanted to finally actually write this down and say it.

Will took one look around the practically empty Apollo cabin, seeing each and every one of the siblings he'd lost, and headed right back out, closing the door behind him. He was going to have to face it eventually; he was Head Counselor of the cabin now, not to mention the camp's medic. But right now, he just couldn't. The Apollo cabin had been one of the fullest....., and now it was just.....empty. There were only three of them left.

The blonde stumbled his way over to the pavilion where most meals were held, forcing himself to take deep breaths. He couldn't fall apart, not no, not when the rest of camp needed him. Will would take some deep breaths, and he'd be fine. He had to be.

OKAY! New carrd is up! I'm still fiddling with things here and there, but the muse list should be up-to-date. If I took someone off and they were the only reason you were following, I will not at all be offended if you unfollow. I moved some muses from the main list to the Secret Menu (which is kind of request-only?), because I still love them, but it will hopefully allow me not to worry as much about making sure I have icons and things, and let me focus more on writing!

I swear I'm gonna finish my revamped carrd to get that up so the muse list is properly updated. That's why I haven't done any memes or anything recently, because I've made quite a few changes, and I want to make sure people aren't looking for muses I might have taken off.

Thank you as always for being so chill while I get my shit together super slowly. 💜

Elisa is tense, on edge, senses alert for any threat. This woman had come into the station alone, but what if that was just a distraction? Could there be people going after her friends right now? No, there couldn't be; no one knew where they were. And if she went to check on them now, it was a certainty that someone would follow her, that they would be counting on her to want to check on them, would be expecting her to lead them right to them.

All of this goes through her mind in a split second. If this woman makes one wrong move, Elisa will be ready for her. But she wants to at least give her a chance to explain herself. She hadn't done anything to suggest that she might be a threat, and Elisa will give her the benefit of the doubt….., but she will not underestimate her.

So when Kidagakash starts to speak, Elisa listens, keeping her expression neutral, at least until the other woman has a chance to say what she'd come here to say.

Or at least, that had been the plan. But when Kidagakash says that "Gorlois" were known to her people, then calls them gargoyles, Elisa knows that the recognition will show in her face. Between the photos and now explicit mention of gargoyles…., this woman knows about them. She'd have to remember to ask her how she knew to come looking for her, specifically. Because that could end up being dangerous if they weren't careful.

The young woman explains that gargoyles had lived alongside her people, but vanished when she was a girl. A friend of hers had taken the photographs, had alerted her to the presence of gargoyles, because he knew of her search. But when Kidagakash mentions that the last time she saw a gargoyle was seventy years ago, one of Elisa's brows arches almost involuntarily. Was she really suggesting she was almost 100? She didn't look much older tha Elisa, possibly even younger.

Kidagakash finishes, explaining that she is also protecting a secret, but she just wants the chance for answers.

Elisa takes a deep breath, her mind racing. She doesn't want to endanger her friends….., but she wants to trust this young woman. The detective doesn't think she's lying…, but she's still going to be careful. She's not about to expose the gargoyles to danger just because she decided she could trust another human.

"Look, Kidagakash….," she starts, the arms crossed over her chest relaxing enough for her to drop her arms to her sides. "I wanna believe you, I do. I want to think that you have only knowledge in mind, that you just want answers. But you've gotta understand that it's hard to trust what you're telling me when you say things like you saw a gargoyle seventy years ago."

Then again…., hadn't she just come back from Avalon, where time passed differently? Maybe Kidagakash was from somewhere similar. Who was to say she wasn't older than she looked.

Elisa lets out another little sigh, shaking her head. "Okay, so….that was a little presumptive of me; I don't know where you've come from or what you've been through. But I can't endanger my family just so you can get answers." She meets the other woman's gaze, her own very serious. "What I can do is set up a meeting, on neutral ground. And if they want to talk to you…, they'll show up. But if they don't…., well, that's not my decision to make." Hopefully she would respect whatever decision Goliath made.

If Kida was aware of Elisa's momentary risk assessment, she shows no outward sign of it. Truthfully, she is not unaware of the distrust in surface dwellers, but would prefer to try and... think the best of them, until proven otherwise.

( how she hopes elisa won't prove her wrong. )

She does, however, see the way that the woman hesitates when she sees the evidence that she had provided. Was it concern, or disbelief? She isn't entirely certain which, wishes briefly that Milo had come along with her. He was often better when it came to social situations than she was, even after all this time.

Before there is a chance to ask about her reaction, if perhaps she has the wrong person, Elisa is standing from her desk and telling her to come. Bright eyes glance around the office, spying the way that the other people present look at her — a slight shake of the head, pity in some faces and amusement in others — before trailing along with the detective.

Elisa does not lead her to any kind of cell, the way she had internally dreaded she might. Instead, the two women find themselves in the bathroom, alone, with Elisa placing herself between Kida and the exit.

It seemed... perhaps she had the right woman after all.

"Many years ago, the Gorlois were known to my people. You call them... gargoyles?" The word feels heavy on her tongue, but she is not certain if these truly were the creatures she believed them to be. It was possible the other woman would never have heard such a name. "They lived alongside us... but, when I was a little girl, they... vanished. My father refused to speak of it... as he did with many things. No matter how I asked. As time wears on, they were... forgotten."

Tugging at the cord around her neck, Kida pulled her crystal out from beneath her sweater, running her thumb over it like a worry stone. "The photographs were taken by a friend of mine. He is ...very interested in the supernatural, things which we are not able to explain. He knows of my search for the Gorlois. This is the first time I have seen one in... seventy years."

Releasing the crystal, she takes a breath. You've come this far. "I cannot explain everything. I understand that you are protecting a great secret : please understand that I am as well. But I spoke the truth. I want nothing more than... the chance of answers. To know why they left... and where they went."

@yieldingdreams asked: In the darkness of night, illuminated by the blue-white glow of moonlight, Puck approached where Percy slept. He moved like a soft wind, his movements near impossible to detect until he finally reached out to touch the other. Innocently, of course. Fingertips gingerly touching the man's arm to test if he would startle up before he got closer. His palms fell on the man's chest as he descended from where he'd been floating to lay his body comfortably atop the other man. Using him as a soft place to rest, with his head falling on the gunslinger's shoulder. He let out a quiet hum of contentment as his eyes fell shut, perfectly content with his newly chosen pillow. He didn't think Percy would mind. He hoped not anyway.

semi-unprompted // always accepting

Percy had been sleeping so much easier, now that Whitestone, now that his home was safe. There was a lot of work to do to rebuild, and he was under no illusions that it was going to be easy or simple, but the fact that it was a possibility was…..everything. So many lives had been lost…., but so many had been saved, too. And he had a sister again, something that made his heart ache when he thought about it. He had Cassandra back in his life.

He didn't always sleep through the night, but he'd stopped waking up at every little noise, treating everything like a threat.

The hand on his arm draws him to consciousness, but he smiles when he sees the figure above him, his white hair framed and seemingly set aglow by the moonlight. And when Puck settles against him, Percy wraps his arms around the fae, sleepily nuzzling into his hair, more than content with this new arrangement.

"That your way of saying I'm short, Owl Lady?" they ask with a laugh. Which is a rhetorical question; they both know Eda's taller than they are, but they still have to tease about it sometimes. They liked that she's taller than them, to be quite honest.

They grin at her question, running a single finger up her neck, brushing up under her chin, so they can tilt her head down just a little. "I can think of much better things to do with my face," their voice drops as they practically purr, the way she's flustered spurring them on.

She should be used to it. Heck, she is used to it, and yet she still feels the way her face starts to tint red the moment Raine turns things right back around on her : all that bravado and sexual confidence vanishing as quickly as she had summoned it.

Give her a second. She'll recover.

Maybe.

"Not a cheap tactic if it works," they say with a laugh and a wink. Though that wasn't a tactic they'd use with just anyone.

And they just watch her as she leans into their space, playing right into their hands. It's their turn to lean in, much of them almost touching Eda as they lower their voice, not moving away. "Then what are we waiting for?"

"That would be a cheap tactic, Rainestorm. Even for you."

Even as she says this, Eda leans close into their space, threatening to ghost her lips over their own before pulling back. "...well, if you wanted me to sit on your lap, all you had to do was ask."

"Is it a fight if I just kiss you?" they ask with a smirk. Because they'd sparred before, but they couldn't help that she distracted them.

"Or...., we could share the throne," Raine suggests. The way they should have done all those years ago.

@stardustedstories || in reference to this post

"Oh, a fight, huh? Pretty sure I could take you."

( in a fight, right, Eda? ...in a fight...? )

"But, we both know who the superior bard is. I concede and relinquish the throne."
