Ok so no one asked for the potential ramifications of Imogen taking off her circlet in this past episode in the Let Me sequel but I am thinking about it so y'all are gonna get it.
So let's say Otohan doesn't take the circlet from Imogen in the crevasse scene during the Solstice (you know, that hot moment where in response to Matt saying 'You want to attack her? You can't see her,' Imogen cooly says, "I don't have to see her.") So let's say Imogen keeps the circlet, and the bond is deadened for weeks.
Otohan, who had gotten used to having all these glimpses of Imogen at her fingertips whenever she liked, or even just the vague feeling of the warmth of Imogen's presence in the back of her mind, suddenly has that all snatched away. Searing heat becomes a dying ember, the faintest flutter imparting that Imogen is alive but nothing more; no more flitting thoughts, no more sharp conversations, no more dreams, even. And to Otohan's disgust, she misses it. But she has a job to do, and logically, she's better off without the distraction.
Maybe at most Otohan gets echoes of Imogen's feelings during her worst moments. The agony of a demon nearly biting Imogen in half. The horror at seeing Ashton shatter. The fear of losing Laudna for one long night. And even these faint echoes are maddening.
Then one day, Imogen removes the circlet. The tether between them, worn down to nothing but a frayed thread, suddenly surges with life. Heat races along to fill Otohan's mind until it hurts, weeks worth of thoughts and memories and experiences flashing behind her eyes too fast to process. Otohan has to grit her teeth and concentrate hard to even understand why amidst the sudden and overwhelming influx of information.
She hears Imogen say, "why would I take away a strength?"
And something cold and sharp and pleased surges from Otohan to Imogen then. From the moment they met, this is what Otohan has been urging Imogen to do. She slaughtered Imogen's friends before her eyes in order to push Imogen to embrace her gifts. For the entire existence of this mysterious connection between them, Otohan has had to watch Imogen stifle herself, stifle her strength. And it has pained Otohan because Imogen deserves more, she is more---if she would only seize it.
Hearing that soft question though a long-repressed bond now wide open between them is so satisfying. Almost as satisfying as that day in a blood-soaked street of Bassuras, watching Imogen rip apart an entire city block with her mind.
So Otohan does exactly what she did then. She smiles, and she says, with genuine and strangely gentle fervency, 'I am proud of you.'
Back then, all of Imogen's fury had curdled into fear that made her sick to her stomach.
Now, Otohan has the unique priviledge of feeling Imogen's reaction before she can repress it. Her pulse spikes at the sound of Otohan's voice in her mind after so long without it, and something that is decidedly not nausea squirms in her stomach. Otohan's pride flows freely through Imogen, and before Imogen can strangle it, something is reflected back to Otohan. Something almost shy, laced with shame and so faint but neverheless there. Imogen's own subtle sense of pride at Otohan's praise. And though Imogen immediately smothers the feeling, Otohan senses it all the same, and she certainly won't let Imogen forget it.

Not often was it that Alex brought her treasured items anywhere into the public. Rarer yet that it was one of her stuffed animals. Yet, today, the changeling deigned to participate in a late night movie showing that was prone to having little to no attendance.
This was one of the days where the latter ended up being true. The female glanced about upon arrival and found not a soul in the room... That was good. That meant she could safely set Elliot up comfortably before her next course of action was taken.
Moving to where she wanted to sit, the changeling gently propped the toy in a seat of his own. She folds plush paws over belly, pets down a tuft of green fur, before humming softly when the gold of glass eyes glitter as once inanimate pupils shift to watch her.
''I'll be right back. Behave yourself, ok?'
Giving her request a moment to hang in the air, the shapeshifter then smiles and mushes snout with a hand before standing and turning away - leaving her companion to patiently await her return.

she has not been needed in heaven for some time. when souls pass divine judgement, michael has seen fit to send someone where they ought to go through earth, she thinks there are less trips to be made that way. to receive a summon from the high seraphim herself, this is not some trite issue or petty squabble. michaels six wings stretch outward as she makes her way into sera's office space, tucking close after one last flap. " i hope you've called me here to tell me i was right. " / @hazbiiins for sera!

❝ a hundred twits with guns and clips -- ❞ the overseer of the hells watches from the jurors box, after the rest of the assembly had already absconded the premises. a clawed hand raises, gestures to the mechanism in the centre, displaying the denizens of hell preparing for onslaught. (his marred face stretches into a grin under the mask.) he watches with a watchful gaze, turning crowned head to the other, a nod toward the ocular apparatus. a hand waves again, and there is the image of themselves standing within the courtroom of heaven. ❝ have tried their luck and lost the bet. ❞
@rockange challenged the overseer!

since a lot of ppl left the rpc that were in joshua’s circle and his existing circle is now much smaller and things are slower/fandom lull etc i’m considering the prospect of wiping his memory. he’d still be in his usual thing with sanae and his main verse with him and @dandybarista remains unchanged, but i think a clean slate could make for fresh and more enjoyable interactions. that said, if you don’t want anything to change with joshua and your muse can you please like or reply?

@erstwhles | mason & callum - feelings
"Hell of a third period, boys! Now that was a sixty-minute game." Mason glances up as the coach praises them, pausing in the middle of shoving gear into his bag to listen. "That's what I like to see, so keep it up! Now go home and rest, and be ready for the next one on Friday."
They're left alone to finish dressing after that, the guys talking amongst themselves, reliving the game they'd just won. "Lucky shot on your goal tonight, eh Ghost? You almost looked like a real hockey player out there!" The guy who spoke grins at him, and they all laugh as Mason flips him off in return. "Thought your boy was going to kiss you right there in the middle of the ice, too! What a celly that would've been."
There's another round of laughs, and Mason is grinning as he catches Callum's eye, giving him a playful wink. "What's the matter, Johnny, you jealous?" he asks his teammate, pushing up from his stall and swinging his bag over his shoulder. "Because I don't think Cal would mind sharing.." It's his turn to laugh as Johnny stutters his reply, and he stops by Callum's stall on his way out. "You still owe me a beer, by the way," he says, nudging his friend's foot. "You wanna pay up tonight or some other time?"

@strywoven for sloan
The man in the reflection of Agustin’s General and Feed Store is not Vash the Stampede. With his reflection superimposed over the peeling poster taped to the inside of the display window, a passerby might claim that he bears a passing resemblance to the legendary outlaw responsible for the JuLai incident.
To everyone else here in this small town, he is just Eriks.
9:30AM.
The day has only just begun, and the list of chores he has is still long. Eriks adjusts the brown paper bag in his arms once more and cards through the contents one last time to ensure that nothing is missing. Grandma Sheryl has lectured him on the importance of precision before. Every week, they need to replenish their stock of: onions, potatoes, garlic, and ginger. No, dry won’t do. No, you can’t sub taro root for potatoes even though they are both tubers. And don’t forget to pick up a dozen tomas eggs!
He can feel his ears ringing already, and he hasn’t even stepped away from the storefront yet. Rolling a few potatoes out of the way and pulling back a few layers of wax paper is met with a small exhale of satisfaction through his nose.
Next, to pick up the latest double dollar novel penned by the Mc Caffrey sisters for Lina. He makes it about two steps, hand still half in the bag when he suddenly comes up into a solid wall of…fleshy mass?
“Oh, uh. Sorry about that. Didn’t see you there! Excuse me!” Eriks exclaims, giving the unmoving mountain a pat on the shoulder as he strafes around the man to continue further into town. Before he can get out of arm’s reach, Eriks suddenly feels himself yanked backward by his shirt collar and is unceremoniously pressed up against Agustin’s window panes.
“You. This you? You’re Vash the Stampede?” A pudgy finger presses into the glass next to his head. The man, dressed in raider leathers and spikes, lets out a garbled snort from the back of his throat when Eriks does not answer right away. The glint in his eyes is hungry and set. A predator who would take any excuse to latch onto their prey drive. “Look like him.”
“You know ‘im? I alwaysh wanted t’know what he was like.” His voice is distorted from being squished against the glass. He manages to push back against the man’s hand at his back and glances at the holster at the bandit’s hip, then continues, “Hey! Let’s talk about him over there. It’s too noisy over here. I’m Eriks. You are..?”
“I’m Ten-Shots. ‘Cuz that’s all I need…Vash the Stampede.”
Uh-oh.
“Hey, let’s not get hasty, I just–”
A crack rings out and a line of dust shoots up next to his foot where Ten-Shots fired a bullet directly into the ground. The quick-draw doesn't make him flinch.
Okay, then. So talkie time was over. Eriks looks down at the disturbed ground, then back up to meet Ten-Shots’ squinting, focused eyes looking at him down the barrel of his gun.
“So…what happens after you shoot ten times? Does that mean you let me go?”
And then he runs, taking off in the opposite direction away from the center of town while hugging his precious cargo close to his chest. An onion bounces out, rolling off to the side and stopping against the wooden step of the local barber’s, but he can’t turn back for it now as bullets spit up dirt at either side of him. Grandma Sheryl will just have to forgo the French onion soup this week.
How many shots were they at? Four?
Bang!
Five.

@prvtocol liked for a starter ! ( f: kay vess )
>> Tansarii Point Station ━ can't say it was her favorite spot to be waylaid. sure the drinks were cheap and the local militias were either incompetent or ignorant enough to leave well enough alone. but on a list of must-see places in the mid-rim it was probably bottom of the list. surprisingly a system being an arms depot for several hundred years does not produce a particularly friendly environment.
━ but a vacation this was not. kay was set to meet with some-such loanshark money handler about a package she klept on the corellian run. ( surely if it was any value they would've bolted it down to the cargo bay. ) lucky for her she didn't have to wander too far to find an interested buyer. however, some such precognitive sense happened to tell her that such an out-of-the-way meeting likely wasn't over just one little stolen package.
the smuggler would sit down, adjacent from her contact. she'd flash a wily smirk as she juggled a mantellian coin between her fingers.
〝 rough place for a first date huh ? 〞she joked. kay was going to make it known that she really hated this place. especially after they axed the lunchtime special.

You know what, upon further thought, I think I’m gonna redo the Pink Choco/Dark Choco kid. I like Marble Choco, very much so, but she’s just too far removed from those two, and I want to see what I can do with just trying to actually combine those two, you know?
But I think I will still call this fankid Marble Choco Cookie, since the name still works
As for the current Marble Choco, I’ll make her into her own character, since I really do like her. Her new name shall be Choco Cherry Cookie!
