#I'm going to visit some friends in a different city today!!

[inkskinned]

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!

SUCCESS STORY (manifesting)

OMFG you guys! I did it! I made it to my desired reality! I'm living my desired life!

All I did was decide it's done. More specifically, I just did Angel's fulfillment challenge (which you don't have to do). Everyday I just decided to live like I was in my desired reality right now as often as I could and whenever I wanted to.

If I vented, I vented. If I ranted I ranted. If I sabotaged my manifestation I just decided it wouldn't matter and that nothing would ruin my manifestation and everything was ok and fine.

And this is totally optional but I affirmed sometimes. I just did to remind myself that it was done.

My affirmations were:

-I'm living my desired life

-Nothing can ruin my manifestation

-I'm in my desired reality

-I'm in my desired reality in my penthouse in Tokyo

-I have all my desires

-The 3D conforms instantly

And it worked! And now I'm happy! I woke up today IN my penthouse in Tokyo! The view of the city is amazing. I checked my bank account and it turns out I'm super rich! Like I literally have BILLIONS of dollars. And it's like I always get millions of dollars out of nowhere! So it's like I get paid just to exist!

Also life in this reality is soooooooo different than on Earth. Like the people in the city are nice... but they aren't just humans beings. I'm seeing Japanese monsters walking around wearing uggs! I can also see Godzilla walking around in a place in the city it's so cool! (don't worry, they made a place in the city specifically for her)

I can also enter the void anytime I fall asleep. Like everytime I go to sleep I wake up IN the void state completely aware. I know this because I just decided I would go to sleep and I did! (one of the things I also manifested, to fall asleep instantly)

And guess what? I also revised my ENTIRE life. Like all the shitty, terrible things that happened to me and all the awful things I've done are GONE! They never happened. All the arguments I had with people on Youtube are gone, they never happened. I never met those people. All the people who I argued with on Discord, well I never argued with them. All the problems with my family are gone.

I also have new memories of me being in Highschool. It went great! I made some friends, they never got angry at me, I got to play my videogames, and I never had to deal with any kind of stress. And I also have my college degree even though I never went to college.

Also let me show you what I look like:

This body:

This is my hairstyle (except it's white colored):

This is my face (trigger warning: AI art, also dw I'm black):

And I'm like popular on Twitter. I'm as popular as @rariatoo. People follow my art and they love drawing my OCs and characters, it's so much fun. Plus I have a patreon and a redbubble. I get to make my OCs as plushies and stickers and ship them off.

And the best part is that there's no wars! No covid, no genocide in the Congo or Palestine, no racism, no problems. And there never will be, everything is fine! Its literally a Utopia.

Summary of what I manifested:

-Desired life & reality

-Freezing Time

-Revising entire life

-Different family (same soul but different looks (slightly) and better personality)

-Entering the void whenever I fall asleep and at will

-A butler friend who I can summon and make disappear at will (he's super nice and never have any problems, perfect personality, kinda shy, and we just had some woopie 🥵🤪)

-Magic (I can do LOTS of crazy stuff)

-Being able to shift realities at will

-Visiting my family through a magic door (my family lives in what I call, "Reality # 3 and I can visit them anytime I want)

-Spawning groceries and food whenever I want (I still go out, dw)

-Friends on discord and some IRL

-Money money monayyyyyyyyyyy

-Perfect health and mental health, no problems with my body

-Never getting yelled at ever again or abused/nobody gets abused/abuse doesn't exist. Yellers don't exist.

& a lot of other personal things

You guys got this! You can get your dream life! Go for it! *I didn't get my dream life yet, that's why the title reads:

"SUCCESS STORY (𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴)" When you put "manifesting in the title it means you haven't gotten your desires yet but you're doing it to help you live in the end. SO please don't be angry or offended.*

#void state #law of assumption #loa #manifestation #law of attraction #void #manifest #neville goddard #void success #success story #manifesting #affirm and persist #48HC #3dolc x roe

Some news that made me smile today

1. There was a funny article in Le Monde about French people's existential questions as to what to do with their trash in these times of garbage collectors' strikes (in various cities not just Paris). Some started storing their trash on their balcony so there wouldn't be so much in the streets, then started feeling embarrassed because now all your neighbours know you're a class traitor. True enemies of the reform divide their trash into several bags to make the piles in the streets more imposing. "They're asking their friends what their strategy is, talking about their trash bags like they're ballots." The article quotes people as saying: "My gesture of support for the revolution: putting my trash bags outside so they've got something to burn." "I'm thinking of putting my trash in the boot of my car and driving up to Paris to add it there."

The strike has been going on long enough that more complex reflections are arising: "why are we piling the trash on the pavement, bothering pedestrians, rather than putting it in the middle of the road to bother cars?" Also some people are driving their trash around to go put it in the streets of the strike-breaking districts where trash is being removed by private companies. The commitment. The conclusion of the article is that people who don't close their trash bags properly "cannot be said to be doing this out of any political strategising" and should stop doing that.

2. The garbage collectors' strike in Paris was due to end tomorrow (I think) and I was wondering if they would be able to extend it, and I just learnt that garbage collectors in the private sector are taking up the torch, they'll be on strike starting tonight. They handle different arrondissements of Paris—the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 10th and 18th. No big deal, just the Louvre, the Palais Royal, Rue de Rivoli, Montmartre.

3. I'm late for this one but some football fans attending the France-Netherlands match at the Stade de France in Paris chanted "Macron démission" at the 49min3s mark... Apparently they had organised it because Macron was supposed to be present for the match, but he wussed out cancelled at the last minute.

4. Our ministers are cancelling things too—they've been told to "postpone all non-imperative official visits" within the country because Macron's finally running out of cops I guess and if you send them to protect ministers you won't have enough to intimidate Parisians. The Minister of Labour is quoted as saying "our security forces are exhausted." So it seems we've grounded our government for the time being.

#anyway i'll be in paris tomorrow and i hope everything goes well at the tuesday protest for people attending <3 #frpol

I Thought I Lost You

♡♡-Request: Mermaid!reader wears a pendant to breathe on land. You go on a date with your boyfriend Neuvillette; what could go wrong?

Content: hurt/comfort, mermaid!reader, gn!reader, near death experience.

It was strange. To one day care so much for someone that you'd risk your life. Before you met Neuvillette, you stayed below the surface. Your tail cutting through the water as you swam, doing your daily routine of gathering sea creatures. Some for food others for your care, the days continued like this until one day; it was different.

In the distance, you caught sight of a man. Or what looked to be a man. He had scales too but his tail and form was….different. 

His swimming was ethereal, how easily he glided through the water. A family of otters swimming around with him. And for the first time, your heart beat turned irregular. You were scared at first, not understanding what it meant. But after talking with some friends, they told you that you more than likely were growing feelings for him. You took it to heart and worked your way up to speaking with him. He seemed just as nervous as you were. But he was always open for conversation. 

Eventually, you both confessed. Confused by your feelings but willing to try, he'd asked to kiss you that day. And you did.

Now? It's been five years and you couldn't be happier. There were issues at first, since you always lived below the surface and Neuvillette, you found, was extremely busy. Rarely having leisure time to visit you. So you decided to obtain a pendant, allowing you to breathe above water. There was a time limit to it and it even gave you legs in the process! As long as you stay dry. It was perfect. Before him, you never once thought about breaching the surface. Afraid of the outcome. But now you couldn't imagine not being able to walk among the shore and sun. 

"Your case. Is it truly that troubling?" You questioned, arms wrapped tight around his as you looked up at him. He gave a sigh, "I find most of my cases to be straight forward but this one…I'm unsure how I should proceed."

You gave him a smile, fiddling with your pendant. 

"I'm sure you'll figure it out. I trust your judgment and speaking of; why don't you choose where we have lunch today?" Your eyelashes fluttered, peering up at him. Giggling when the tips of his ears turned a bit red. "Very well, but I know you'll want somewhere with shellfish." You nod, allowing him to guide you into the city, you'd only been a handful of times. It was often too crowded for your tastes. 

"How about-" He stopped, his eyes slow to widen when he noticed. Even before you did, until you fell to the ground. Your tail sprouting as the struggle to breathe finally made you realize; someone took your pendant. Or knocked it off. You weren't sure who or when they'd managed, but now you couldn't breathe. Body twitching and mouth open agape, gasping. Your gills begging for oxygen from the water you swim through everyday. 

In an instant, you were lifted into his arms. The sky turning a dark gray as rain started to fall-it didn't make any sense but it was hard to dwell. Your vision getting blurry-you were going to die. That's all you could think. You were going to die.

Your hands tried to tug at him, you couldn't die without saying how much you loved him. But he wouldn't look at you. Refused to. His eyes hyper focused in front of him; he needed to get you to water. Now. 

"Neuv..-" "No." He refused. Refused. Refused. Refused. There. He could see water in his eyesight so he picked up his pace. 

"Please…" you gasped, "Neuvi-" your body was now airborne, being tossed into the water. Your eyes widened as you could finally breathe, even if it was an abrupt landing. "Please be okay…" you heard him muttering. His outfit soaked as he sat in the shallow part of the water. Rain falling down around him.

"Neuvi.."you said softly, breaching the surface. "Oh thank God." He let out a breath he'd been holding. "I thought I lost you…"

You smiled, "You could never lose me."

Noah

An: My first Noah fic I hope you like it. Let me know what you think 💜 I always get nervous writing new people for whatever reason!

Noah Sebastian x reader

No warnings just fluff

Words: 2kish

Noah Master List

How did this happen?

You didn't mean to fall in love with Noah.

He was just a friend, nothing more. At least, that's what you thought.

You met Noah at a friend's birthday party five years ago. He was charming and handsome, but you didn't feel any sparks. He had a warm smile and a friendly handshake, but nothing that made your heart skip a beat. Like you, he was into music and photography, but so were many others. You exchanged numbers and stayed in touch as friends, but nothing more.

That changed when he asked you to look after his apartment and pets while he was on tour. You agreed to help him, thinking living in his place in a different city and state would be fun.

You didn't know that it would also bring you closer to him.

His apartment was cozy and colorful, with posters, books, and instruments. It smelled like coffee and vanilla, his favorite scents.

It felt like home, even though it wasn't yours. You loved spending time there, playing with his dog, and you read some of the books that stayed on his shelf. They looked like they needed some love, and you couldn't stand seeing the books covered in dust, alone and uncared for.

Noah would call you almost every night to check on his pup, leading to more extended conversations. He would tell you about his adventures on the road, the places he visited, and the people he met. He would ask about your day, work, and hobbies. He'd make you laugh with his jokes and stories.

"You're so fuckin cool, you know that?" He said one night.

You felt your cheeks flush. "No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are. You're doing me a huge favor, and I don't know how to thank you enough."

"You don't have to thank me."

You heard him sigh on the other end of the line. "Well, I owe you dinner or drinks, something like that, when I’m back in town."

You felt your heart race. "I could never say no to free drinks and dinner."

You realized that you had more in common than you thought. You shared the same sense of humor, values, and dreams. You also discovered new sides of him that you never knew before. He was passionate and creative but also humble and kind. He was generous and thoughtful but playful and adventurous.

He became everything you wanted in a partner.

But he was your friend.

He often told you how much he appreciated and trusted your friendship. He had also told you how hard it was for him to trust women after all the pain he had gone through. He had been betrayed and hurt by his ex-girlfriends, who had spread lies and rumors about him. They had tried to use him for fame and money, not caring about his feelings.

You were different from them. You were a journalist, but you never wrote anything wrong about him. You never exploited his secrets or his scandals. You never tried to get a scoop or a headline out of him. You respected his privacy and his dignity. You cared about him as a person, not as a celebrity.

You wanted to be the one who could heal his wounds, make him happy, and love him like no one else.

You wanted to be the one who could make him see that not all women were the same.

You wanted to be the one who could make him fall in love again.

You sure as hell didn't know if he saw you as more than a friend.

You were going to see him today at a hidden bar that only a few knew about. It was a place where he could be himself, away from the public's prying eyes. Noah loved his music and fans, but he was a private person. He needed his privacy, and you respected that.

You knew he would probably bring one of his bandmates with him. They were his support system, and though you sometimes wished he would come alone, you understood. That's why you often invited Allie along. She was your best friend and had a crush on Nicholas. Nicholas was smitten with her, too, and he would chase her around like a lovesick puppy, leaving you and Noah some time to yourselves.

You didn't go all out with your appearance, just a touch of makeup and a casual outfit. It wasn't your style, and you knew Allie would tease you if you showed up too fancy.

She'd been nagging you to confess your feelings to Noah; she even blurted it out to him once when she was drunk, but you brushed it off with a nervous laugh and told her to drop it.

You enter the bar, feeling the cool air hit your face. You head straight to the counter, order your favorite beer, and leave your debit card with the bartender.

You scan the room, looking for your friends. They stand out from the crowd. You see a tall man and a petite blonde girl, with Nicholas trailing behind them like a loyal dog. Your eyes land on Noah holding his cue stick and aiming at the table. He is smiling at something he said to Nicholas, but you can't make out his words over the loud music.

You grab your drink and walk towards them. Allie spots you first and runs towards you, wrapping you in a tight hug.

She slurs some words in your ear. "Finally!" She yells, her breath reeking of alcohol. "These two are no fun. They're too good at pool, and I can't beat them. So now they are playing each other, and I'm just watching." She giggles.

You escape from her hug and follow her to the table, putting down your drink and taking off your sweater. "Well, it's not a fair game when Noah's arms are longer than the fucking table." You joke.

"I heard that!" Noah shouts from across the table, waving his pool stick at you.

You shrug your shoulders, "It's the truth!"

"Who wants to play next?" Nicholas asks as he walks over to you and Allie. "Allie owes me a shot, and I'm done with him." He laughs, pointing at Noah.

"Are you giving up?" Noah asks as he joins the three of you. "I don't blame you. You suck and everything." He teases.

You smile up at him and open your arms to hug him. "I love being ignored." You say sarcastically, making Allie snort.

He hugs you tightly and rocks you back and forth slowly, "Sorry, my precious little angel," He mocks, "I was busy kicking ass."

Nicholas hands you his cue stick and grabs Allie by the arm, dragging her to the bar. "Good luck!" He yells back at you.

"Ok, Noah." You laugh, trying to escape his grip, "You can let go now."

He looks at you with a fake hurt expression, "But I thought we were having a moment."

You roll your eyes, "Yeah, a moment of suffocation."

He grins and releases you, "Fine, fine. Let's play then. Loser buys the next round."

You nod, "Deal. But don't cry when I beat you." He winks, "We'll see about that."

You and Noah start playing pool, taking turns to hit the balls. You're both good at the game but like to distract each other with jokes and taunts. You laugh and tease each other, enjoying the friendly competition.

You notice he's getting closer to you, leaning over your shoulder to show you how to aim better, brushing his hand against your arm when he passes the cue stick, whispering in your ear when he makes a shot. You feel a surge of heat in your body, wondering if he is flirting with you or just being playful.

You decide to play along, hoping he will make a move. You touch his chest when you congratulate him on a good shot, look into his eyes when you talk to him, and bite your lip when you miss a shot.

You see him react to your signals, his eyes darkening, his breath quickening, his smile widening.

You’re both down to the last ball, the black eight. It's his turn, and he has a clear shot. He looks at you and says, "If I make this, I win. And if I win, I get to ask you something."

You raise your eyebrows, curious and nervous. "I have to buy you a drink, and you get to ask me something?" You ask. "That doesn't seem very fair."

He shakes his head, "It's fair, you'll see." He bends over the table and aims at the ball. He hits it with precision and power, sending it into the corner pocket.

He straightens up and pumps his fist in the air. "Got it!" He exclaims. He turns to you and grabs your hand, pulling you close. "I win!"

You smile and nod, "Yes, you do."

He looks into your eyes and says, "And now I get to ask you something."

You swallow hard, feeling his breath on your face. "What do you want to ask me?"

He leans in and whispers in your ear, "Can I kiss you?"

"Are you drunk?" You ask, taken back by his question, "You don't want to kiss me. That's the alcohol talking. Are you drunk?"

He chuckles, "No, I'm not drunk, and I want to kiss you. Am I reading signals wrong? I thought that's what you wanted..." He nervously speaks, his dark brown eyes closely watching you, waiting for a response. Did he overstep your boundaries?

In a whirlwind of nervous energy, you feel your heart race as you stare at him. What are you waiting for? Isn't this what you wanted?

You softly nod your head, "Ok," You whisper.

You feel everything else fade away, and the only thing that matters at that moment is him. As your lips get closer, the air gets thicker with anticipation, your hearts beating as one. The world pauses, waiting for this moment. With a gentle move, he lowers his head, and a wave of bliss washes over you when you feel his lips press to yours. You feel warmth as his hands caress your face, and he deepens the kiss. Your arms wrap around his neck tightly, not letting him go.

You hope this is real, not some cruel dream playing with your mind.

When you finally pull away, your eyes meet again, breathless and smiling like two people who have just found a hidden treasure. You see the love and happiness in his eyes, reflecting your own.

“About damn time!” Nicholas shouts from behind you, breaking the spell. You laugh, feeling a bit shy but also proud of what you have done.

You lean in and give Noah another kiss, softer and sweeter than the first one, just to make sure it's real.

You didn't mean to fall in love with Noah. But you did, and it changed everything.

Hello! I absolutely love your stories and I was wondering if you are open for request? If so, can you do a lmk sun wukong x reader who is a nine tail fox? I imagine that the reader as already have all of their nine tails, so that would make the reader probably as old as wukong (because you know 1 tail = 100 years)

of course only if it is possible for you, it’s ok if you are not open for requests. Thank you and have a nice day! (Keep making amazing stories, you have a serious talent)

I am so sorry for not answering this sooner! I just got busy and then I got even more busier. Then recently I got super sick, but I guess it finally made me have enough time to write when I wasn't knocked out from the meds. But I am still taking requests, I'm just going to be quite slow. And I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted exactly or it lacks a certain luster to it, I'm running purely on meds right now and hoping I don't get worse in sickness.

Also chapter 3 may come out a little later since I got super sick.

9th Tail Fox Reader x lmk Sun Wukong|| Oneshot

The sight of the once-flourishing city made you sigh in disappointment. It was tiring to see such good potential go to waste, especially under your watch. 

You wander in your shop, restocking and organizing the place. You can’t attract desperate people if the shop doesn’t look presentable after all. The ancient and magical artifacts are displayed nicely, while some more medicinal and less magical artifacts are more at hand reach. It's a nice little shop you have been building up through the long centuries. It's good to know that no matter how badly life brings you down, a fox spirit like you always bounces right back up.

 A small bell rang when someone entered through the door. Someone different…

The smell was strong and powerful, nearly knocking you out of your human form. There's only one being that could get that reaction out of you. Someone you told to never show their face to you ever again.

You turn to the door to see a ginger simian. Who waltzes right in, as if he owned the place. Checking the old artifacts, searching for something.

“Nope, get out, I am NOT getting wrapped in your messes, again.” You immediately storm your way up to him. Dropping your human act and looks. 

“Hey, cool stuff you got here. I would love to check it but I'm quite busy and on a task.” He ignores your aggressive attitude and continues to look around.

“You- Didn't I say to get out? Leave! I don't want to be wrapped up in your messes again!” You kept blocking his path, shifting into a smokey fox form. However, he just dodges you and continues searching your shop.

“Tell me, do you have any, artifacts or info on someone named the Lady Bone Demon?” He sits on the counter and finally looks at you. Even though he tries to keep his lazy attitude, there was an edge to it. Ready to get serious if the moment calls for it. 

You stand there for a second contemplating, staring down at him. A few more moments pass, so you can see what his intentions were exactly. Then a chuckle escapes from your throat before turning into laughter.

“You really came all the way here for something like that? Who or what lead you here to begin with? You certainly came a long way home to visit little ol’ me, after what you done.” Your smokey fox form grew in size, as it bare its fangs and growled at him. He kept his lazy attitude.

“Crazy, huh? I heard from a friend that you know a map that leads to the Lady Bone Demon's old place. It would be nice if you hand it over and forget this ever happened-”

“And why should I help you? I'm running a business here, and I need payment. Now if I were you, I'll pay up, since I'm being so generous today.” You cut him off as your face got close to his. For once his lazy attitude broke for a second, he tensed up as he leans away. Nervous and possibly a bit flustered from the sudden close approximation.

“W-well, I don't have anything on me now but I can get you something.” He mutters, before clearing his throat. Trying to regain his composure back.

“News flash, I don't want anything that isn't my tail back, that you cut off! Either you give it back or no map.” Your form shifts into a more smaller one but just large enough to tower over him. Wrapping your many tails around him, your fox face next to his ear.

“Now tell me, what will it be, Sun Wukong?”

He was silent, for once he was quiet. 

“If I don't find out what she is planning soon, she’ll destroy everything. I know, you hate me after everything but we both know, if I didn't do it. The mortals in this city would have. You know how humans get, when misfortune comes, they need someone to blame. I am sorry that it had to be you, but you know I was only doing my job. So please, help me on this one.” He said while staring at the ground, his hands clutching the edge of the counter. 

All you can do is stare at the sight in silence. It wasn't every day, he apologizes. However, will you actually accept his apology?

You let out a tired sigh, your smokey from jumping off the counter. Searching the shelves before landing in front of him. Back in your human form, holding a map. You tossed it at him.

“As much as I would love to have my ninth tail back, but I must say, it isn't every day the mighty Sun Wukong comes in apologizing and begging for help. Well, I guess that's a good enough payment.”

“Heh, I get it, I don't apologize and should have sooner. Then again, there weren't any balloons or cards saying ‘Sorry for cutting off your ninth tail and making you stuck being a regular fox spirit.’ Apparently, that doesn't happen much to have it be on a card.” He laughs getting off the counter. Checking out the map as he slowly exits the shop.

“Hey if my great plan does work and the world hasn't ended, want to...catch up?”

You raise a brow at him.

“Oh? Wukong, you still aren't smooth, not even after all these years.”

“Hey, I spent a few centuries on an island by myself. I’m just rusty, and don't pretend you aren't too.” It was his turn to lean close. His face is close to yours as he smirks. You were stunned, feeling your cheeks heat up.

“Oh please, unlike you I had a business to run. Now go, I won't be kind enough to say it again.”

“Then is that a yes? Can we catch up?” 

You close the door shut the moment you push him out. A soft chuckle left you as you turned back around to see the spot where Wukong was sitting. Though you notice something new there, it was a fluffy tail. The one you lost. A smile forms on your face.

“That cheeky monkey.”

To Be Eaten Out (Karaku x Fem!Reader)

Hantengu, one of the Twelve Kizuki, and the Upper Rank Four. He was definitely a dangerous threat to the land where people yearn to live.

You have heard from other people that Muichiro slit Hantengu's head apart, though you haven't heard much from that. Not that you care for a moment, because you were searching for a different demon. Besides, the upper demon slayers can handle a demon like that.

You and your friend were waiting by the forest, watching your friend slice some trees apart. You sat on a log while brandishing your sword.

"Hey, aren't you gonna train with me today?" Your friend asked with a whiny expression. "I thought we went here to train!"

"I'm still exhausted from yesterday. It's not everyday that the city was in shambles because of the Hantengu release." You replied with an exhausted expression. "Or is it everyday...?"

"Do you have a screw loose on your head...?" Your friend asked and sighed. "Well, whatever. If you're exhausted, just rest there." They said and continued to slash trees.

"... Hey, you do know that if you keep slashing trees, you're gonna lead to deforestation, right?" You deadpanned. How inconvenient for your friend to not think about that.

"Hmm..." Your friend hummed. "Don't care. I mean, the world's practically corrupted anyway."

"You should care. Otherwise, we'll die for God's sake." You added in a firmer tone than before.

"Don't be so tight on yourself! Just relax there. Tomorrow, we have so much to do. Like, um... Visit the yakisoba shop? Or probably train more?" Your friend smiled as they rested on the hilt of their sword.

"That's dangerous. Don't do that." You sighed. "I'm gonna close my eyes for a while..."

"Yeah, you do you." Your friend nodded, and wandered further in the woods.

You laid on the log and slept. You dreamt of a world that wasn't so corrupted by demons and having to be a demon slayer against your will...

Well, all that matters is you're doing this for your own sake, and your family's sake.

You were dreaming so much, dreaming of everything and you wanted.

Possibly a boyfriend...?

However, your dream was immediately interrupted as you heard your friend's scream. You jolted up and immediately unsheathed your sword, running towards the direction of your friend's screams and pleas.

You then widened your eyes to see a muscular body, headless. Your friend panted as they held their sword.

"What are you doing?! Leave already!" Your friend yelled, however, it didn't take long for the body to regenerate.

The body regenerated a head. It was a gruesome sight to see, but the person was quite handsome. He had greenish eyes, and as you read the words on their eyes, you felt your heart drop.

Upper four.

"Isn't this exciting, man?" The man yelled with a smug grin while holding your friend's wrists, and your friend yelled in pain as the man forcefully cracked your friend's hands. "You're gonna prove your strength to the pretty girl over there! Unless I prove myself first."

You were breathless and terrified. This man had his head cut off and had it regenerated easily without raising a finger. The man wrapped his rough hands around your friend's neck. "Hey, girl. If you do what I say, I'll let your friend go."

"Don't listen to him! If you get included with Karaku, you'll-"

Without a second thought, Karaku held your friends neck tighter, his nails digging in his flesh. Your friend panicked, and so did you.

"Let them go!" You said, putting your sword infront. "Fine, I'll take up your offer. Whatever it is. Slit my throat, offer my head to the wells, I don't care. Just let them be."

Karaku, the Hantengu clone, let out a haughty laugh. He then had a smug grin on his face. "How amusing. What a determined girl!" He said, letting go of your friend. Your friend fell on the floor, panting for air.

You rushed to your friend as they had their wrists broken. "Shit, I'll get you back, don't worry-"

Suddenly, you were raised up from the ground. It was Karaku, holding the back of your uniform to raise you up.

"You're a strong, independent young woman, aren't you? No wonder this friend of yours is trying to preserve your beauty," Karaku smiled, raising you up like a child admiring their doll. "I'm gonna mess you up a little."

You widened your eyes as Karaku jumped up highly, making you grip onto his back. "Hey! What are you trying to do?! Get me back there! My friend's gonna die!"

"Your friend's gonna rot and die for all I care. Atleast I've gotten myself fresh meat today." Karaku smirked as he held the back of your head, holding you close to his shoulder as his other arm was around your waist.

He landed on a house, somewhat an abandoned traditional Minka house. He opened the sliding door and placed you in the middle of the room, that had a mattress on top.

You were quite conflicted on how to act to this. However, you definitely knew you SHOULDN'T be aroused after being dragged by a stranger to a house. And an abandoned house infact. And that you should be aware that this stranger is a demon that is an upper four.

"What do you want? Are you gonna open up my organs and play with them?" You said in annoyance. "Do it. I don't care anymore."

"Oh? How eager. How did you know that I was gonna play with your organs?" Karaku said with a grim smile as he went near you. "You know which organ, don't you?"

His hand was on your chest, and you gulped. "My heart?" You mumbled as he started to run his finger on your chest.

"Oh- nice guess. Hmm," He hummed, staring at your chest.

"Hmph. Karaku is your name, huh? I don't like your name." You said and crossed your arms, so that his finger would get off.

"Hm... You're correct. What a brilliant lady you are~ Also, you'll learn to like my name soon." He said with a cheeky grin. "What's your name?"

"It's Y/N." You mumbled. Karaku grabbed your waist and pulled you close.

"Your name is as pretty as you are," He sighed happily. "and, your uniform's quite a tease, is it? It enhances and wraps around your boobs better." He said, rubbing your chest.

"What the- stop playing around!" You said, pushing his hands away. "Anyways, aren't you gonna kill me?"

"Kill?" Karaku asked with a shocked expression, and smiled again. "Why would I kill you? You're a pretty woman."

"Ha? Then what do you even mean when you said you'd play with my organs? What, are you gonna gut me alive?" You said with a furrowed expression.

"The way you think is so endearing. Aren't you such an intelligent woman?" He smiled and went lower, until he was infront of your skirt. He raised your skirt and lowered your panties, making you shocked.

"I'm talking about this kinda organ." He said, sliding his fingers on your wet pussy. "Oh, man. You're soaked. And your lips down here look as fresh as yours up there," He gasped in excitement. His tongue then landed on your clit and started to move.

His tongue lapped fastly, making you moan loudly. "Karaku...!" You moaned, holding onto his head. "Stop that...! This isn't what we promised!" You yelled.

You saw Karaku's head pop up from between your thighs, his tongue out that was dripping with your liquids. "But we didn't promise anything." He said, removing your skirt completely.

He removed your panties as well and spread your legs. "Y/N, cooperate with me, will you?" He said, holding your inner thighs. "Spread them more."

This was getting frustrating. However, you wanted to feel something... For the past few days, you were exhausted and anxious because of expeditions.

You gulped and spread your legs more, and Karaku licked his lips. "Perfect..." He whispered in a low, sultry tone.

He then used his index finger and middle finger to open up your pussy more, exposing your sensitive folds. "I wonder what will happen if I'll apply my power on you~?" He whispered, then placed his other hand's index finger on your pussy. His index finger then produced a gentle wind, softly seducing your clit.

You moaned, arching your back. Your hands gripped onto the mattress as if there was no tomorrow, as you yelled out Karaku's name. "Gah... It feels so weird...~" You whimpered, as Karaku smiled.

"You're so pretty..." Karaku whispered, then went closer. "Hold me instead. Yell out my name until you can't even handle your own vocal cords."

As he said those words, he guided your arms to wrap around him. "There, don't be so uptight." He added, kissing your cheek.

You held onto him as your legs twitched as his finger produced more wind energy to pleasure you.

"I want to slide it inside." Karaku whispered to you ear, before gently sucking on your earlobe. "Can I?"

You were hesitant, but nodded nevertheless. "Please do..." You begged. Karaku smirked. Just earlier, you wished to die and sacrifice yourself. But now, it seems that you've submitted to this clone.

"Alright, it's coming in~" He said, inserting his middle finger inside. You moaned louder as usual. It was way different when you pleasured yourself, as his finger was longer and thicker than yours.

"Woah, it slid in so easily with no lube! How interesting, did you get yourself prepped up?" Karaku panted in ecstasy as he kissed your neck. "Did you spread your pussy like this and start fingering yourself before the expedition~?" He added with a sultry gaze, thrusting the finger in and out.

"Karaku!" You moaned out, your grip around his neck tightening. "I-It's too much, I think I'm gonna cum already...!" You added, however, Karaku shut you up by pressing his lips to yours.

The two of you had a pleasant make out session, with his tongue exploring the insides of your mouth thoroughly, as if he had been waiting for this moment his whole life.

As this continued, his fingers continued to thrust in and out. The pace increased further, making you moan into his mouth.

He pulled away and grinned. "I actually lied," He said, pulling out his finger.

"H-Huh? I was just about to cum..." You frowned. Karaku then went close to your ear.

"Remember when I said I'm gonna mess you up a little?" He whispered. "I guess I lied to myself as well." He added.

He then pulled out his cock, and it was large than you expected from him. He positioned himself infront of your pussy as he held your legs.

"I'm gonna mess you up until you can't even fucking remember your name." He said while licking his lips. "I'll mess you up until all you can think of is taking my big cock."

He then pressed his forehead against yours as he rubbed his tip against your slit, and you could see him panting heavily.

"Can you handle it for me, Y/N?" He asked, wanting consent from you first.

Obviously, with that face of his, you weren't the one to decline. You wrapped your arms around his neck once more and spread your legs.

"Just fuck me already," You said with a smile. "I want you inside of me, Karaku. Please. All of your dick."

With the green light, Karaku's eyes shined in delight. He then held your thighs.

"You said it yourself, Y/N! Well done! You're such a good girl!" He said, his left hand holding your cheek. "Might as well reward you for being such an obedient girl~"

And without waiting for more talk, he entered your pussy. Of course, the two of you moaned loudly. Karaku panted heavily while biting down to your shoulder.

"Karaku, Karaku...!" You moaned out his name, holding his back. "It feels so big and slippery...!"

"Probably because your pussy is so slippery and wet~" He grinned, holding your hips tighter. "And I'm not even all in yet."

You moaned and groaned as he started to move. You felt your eyes roll back as you arched your back more. Karaku embraced you as he thrusted in slowly.

"I've never had a pussy like this before... Fuck..." He groaned out, kissing your neck. "Tell me, have you been showing your pussy to other people? Have you, Y/N?" He grinned, licking your lips.

"Fuck... So big..." You whined out, covering your face in ecstasy. "I haven't... Karaku... You're the only one..."

Karaku's grin appeared again in pleasure. "You're such a good girl for saying what I want to hear~" He said, and went deeper. "That guy you were talking to earlier probably had a small dick, huh? Don't worry, I'll make you feel how good it is to have a real man inside you."

Karaku pushed further inside until he was balls deep inside you. You quivered underneath him, and he held your wrists.

"Don't cover your face, Y/N," He said as he catched his breath. "I want to see your beautiful face while I fuck your pussy hard."

He then raised your legs and thrusted deeper, making you curse. "Fuck...! It feels so good~!" You yelled out. All you could saw were curse words, due to how slurred your brain was as a response to the pleasure.

"Yeah? You love my big cock inside you, hm? You wouldn't think of anyone else other than me?" He asked as he started sucking on your boobs. "I won't let you cum from someone else's dick."

"I won't... Anymore..." You panted, holding onto his black, long hair. "I promise I'll only cum for you...~"

Those words of yours immediately turned on Karaku, and he held your thighs. "The way your words entices me," He said, and thrusted deeper. "makes me want to fuck you until you pass out!"

You gasped in ecstasy as all of his length slid out and slid inside roughly. You couldn't even think about how you were having sex with a demon. All you could think of was swallowing his big cock. "Kakeru, I'm gonna cum soon...!" You whimpered, holding onto his shoulders as he kissed your cheek and licked your ear.

"I'm gonna cum too," He groaned as his pace went harder than ever. "Let's cum together~"

You felt his cock throb inside your pussy, and you widened your eyes. He shot his load inside of you as you came on his cock, and the room was filled with slurred moans and sloppy noises.

The sloppy, wet noises died down as you two started to make out again. You loved how his tongue felt, and how skilled it was. You pulled him closer by holding his cheeks.

"Fuck, Y/N... If you continue on doing that, I might end up falling for you..." Kakeru said, licking your lips.

"Ngh... That was so exhausting," You said, catching your breath as you laid down. Your arm was hovering over your face to block out the light.

Karaku whined as you were about to sleep. "Come on, one more round... Please...? I'll lick on your pussy until you cum, I promise." He added, kissing your lips.

Now that sounded like a great deal.

"You promise?" You asked as you sat up.

"I promise," He replied, sitting up as well. You could see his cock still up, as if it didn't shoot it's load inside you. "Darling, suck my dick for me."

It was so tempting, that you can't even refuse. You've never imagined going as far to sucking someone's cock.

You got between his thighs, and he guided you properly, his hand on the back of your head gently. "Just position yourself there, and suck on the tip." He said, holding your chin. "Come on now... I feel like I'm gonna cum from seeing your face."

Without slacking off, you started to suck on his tip. He moaned as he caressed the back of your head. "Fuck... Just like that, baby. Go deeper." He added, pulling your head deeper gently. "Shit, I promised to only finger her... But that's just a lie again," He thought while caressing your head.

You started to bob your head up and down in a medium pace, and he groaned. You wanted to make it feel better for him, so you started to give him a boob job AND a blowjob.

"Fuck, Y/N...! This feels so good...!" He moaned out, holding the sides of your head. Without thinking, he started to fuck your mouth.

The wet and sloppy noises came back as he was fucking your mouth like there was no tomorrow. You felt his cock throb again. "Fuck, Y/N... I'm gonna cum..."

You pulled out from his cock just in time as he came. He panted heavily as you did as well, and he smiled to see his cum all over your face.

"That felt amazing, sweetheart~" He said, then pushed you down again on the bed. "Might as well fuck all of your holes, right?"

He turned you over and positioned you into a doggy style potion. "Wait, Karaku, I just came-!" You said, but Karaku has definitely lost his mind now. He shoved his cock in your ass, and you moaned loudly.

Karaku let out a smug chuckle. "You like it from the back too, hun?" He asked as he kissed your nape. "I'll make you my personal cum dumpster, Y/N~"

Karaku's nails digged deep on your hips as he started to thrust into your ass. Since you gave him a wet blowjob, it slid in perfectly.

"Ah~! Karaku, Karaku...! Your cock feels so good...!" You moaned out, pushing your hips cloder towards Karaku. "Go wild on me and fuck me like you intended to!"

Karaku had an amazed look and grinned. He had already made you submit to the point you begged and ordered him around. "My lady, you're so persistent~ But I'll grant your wish!" He said, and started to thrust faster.

His thrusts only sent you to euphoria as your hands gripped the mattress tightly. You've never felt this much pleasure, so it was overwhelming. "I'm gonna cum, Karaku...! I'm... Cumming...!"

"Me too... Fuck... Let's cum together, Y/N~" He grinned and bit your nape, leaving a hickey.

The two of them then moaned together as they came together. You felt so full of his cum, but when did that matter? All that matters was that you felt so good and dominated by this demon, to the point you can't even handle it anymore.

You passed out on the mattress, and Karaku smiled. "She passed out after I filled her up. How cute~" He said, turning her over. He started to kiss her neck that had a mole. "Beautiful women always have lots of moles. Do you know that, Y/N?" He asked, even though he's fully aware of you being passed out. "Fuck, I love her." He thought to himself, as he kissed your moles. "I love you. I love you, Y/N." He repeated, until he went low infront of your pussy again.

"It's so full of your cum..." He said with a grin and started to lick your pussy again. He tasted your juices, and it was obvious that he was obsessed. His tongue lapped your clit over and over, until your pussy was cleaned.

He looked at his side to see your panties. "Your panties have precum on them. I should have fucked you infront of your friend~" He hummer, and smelt your panties. "Fuck, that smells great... The smell of a horny virgin..." He grinned.

He put the panties aside and pulled out a blanket. He laid beside you after he gave you the blanket.

"I wanted this to be a fingering session, then an one night stand... But with that face of yours, I don't think I'd want to fuck someone else that doesn't have your face." He whispered to your ear and then sucked on your boobs.

"I've fallen inlove with you, Y/N."

(I have no idea who Karaku is but I wrote this anw, if there are incorrect sentences and false information according to lore/mischaracterization, spare me T-T)

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

I'm a bit shy asking this so I'll stick to anon for the time being. I visited a pet store today and they had the cutest little fish roaming at the bottom of one of their tanks gulping and spitting out sand. I couldn't find the species on the side with the names and tried to do some research and I think it may be a Sand Sifting Goby? All I saw was that they require salt water and that it seemed to feed off whatever was in that sand. I'm genuinely obsessed with this little guy and took plenty of videos, but I don't want to make bad decisions and get one without proper knowledge and research. I was curious to know if you had any facts or tips to help me out? Thank you 🩷

Sounds adorable!! Sand sifting gobies are a whole group of species that come in a variety of colours, all of them looking quite sweet! No doubt the fish was captivating to look at doing its little sand sifting :D

You say you do not wish to make a bad decision and simply impulse buy one without research, which is a good mindset to start from. Fish are not a monolith of animals, they're a large and diverse group of species, each one having their own specific criteria for keeping. I don't know if you've kept fish before or not anon, but I will be giving a general explanation that lets a person who hasn't get started: fish require specific water parameters (temperature, pH, general hardness and calcium carbonate concentration, salinity, etc.), substrate (thickness at the bottom, colour, roughness), plants (density of plants, real or fake, etc.), decor (will the decor scratch or accidentally harm the fish, do they like to hide, etc.), tankmates (of their own species or of different species, or lack thereof), food (specific dietary preferences and restrictions), lighting (harsh or dimmed, amount of light a day), so many things! Freshwater and saltwater aquariums are also different and require different equipment.

The very first thing I recommend you do is go to the pet store (or contact them through social media or email) and ask them what species the goby is. This way you can do research on the specific species instead of sifting through general information about all sand sifting gobies, which may be completely different from our dear little friend at the pet store! That's actually the crux of obtaining a fish or another aquatic life companion: RESEARCH! Soooo much research. You must research your finned friend so much it's starting to feel ridiculous and your family is asking you if you're "still planning on that fish or..?". Look up care guides and fish forums, watch YouTube videos, gather up all the information you get. Some of it contradicts itself, which is why it's important to look to many many sources. Try seeing the newest ones and see what parameters and suggestions are most common. That's only the beginning, though: if you've never owned a fish before, you need to learn about all these aquarium-keeping terms and how to maintain an aquarium, what you need for an aquarium, how to cycle it, etc.. Actually, that's probably best to do before you look up care guides, now that I think about it... Or do both at the same time, that's what I did when I was planning my shrimp tank. See beginner's guides to saltwater fishkeeping, on several sites, move onto more advanced guides and learn the terminology. Learn why these parameters matter so much, or why and how to cycle your tank. Weigh the pros and cons of having plants or some plant species, research different substrates, see what tanks and lights and filters are smartest for you, learn about aquarium pests. Try to find a good middle ground for what's sensible for you and what's the best for your pet; we keep animals for our enjoyment, but we also want to make sure they're having their best time too! Make a list for all the items you need, see how much different options cost, make a budget. Research the water parameters of your city or town, or test the water yourself. See what needs to be done to it so it's suitable for your animal. I've never kept a saltwater tank so I don't know the specifics of it myself, but if you wish to be a saltwater aquarium keeper you must learn! It's a lengthy process, but I went through seven months of preparation before I got my dwarf shrimps. This included my research (I don't have an estimate for how many articles and forums I looked through but my "Shrimps" playlist I made in preparation has 52 videos of just cherry shrimp and aquarium-keeping educational videos), shopping for equipment and plants and setting everything up, and cycling my aquarium. Dear folks in my notes also informed me that saltwater tanks and setups tend to be more expensive than freshwater setups!

Maybe at some point you find that the setup and equipment are simply too expensive, or incompatible with your lifestyle or living situation, or you change your mind for another reason during the preparation process. And that's valid and okay! You took the time to learn and what you learned was just that: it wasn't meant to be. It's much better than getting an animal without preparing and only finding out afterwards that you're incompatible in some way. Learning about these things won't be for "nothing" either, as now you have the valuable knowledge of how to keep fish and an aquarium! It may prove useful later in life if you eventually do obtain an aquarium, or you can become the resident fish knower (very rewarding). You may also decide to look into freshwater gobies, as they are gobies all the same but easier to care for! Please take a look at the folks in the notes and their lovely info.

Hope this helps anon! Perhaps you were wishing for a fish facts -format post, but my measly one-to-four sentence daily fish facts do not a species expert make. Instead I want to give out a guide on how to get started on your goby-keeping journey. I hope it works out for you, I wish you good luck! :)

I got so many tags today and it's almost Monday for me, probably already Monday for most of you! Thank you for the tags: @kiwiana-writes @suseagull04 @three-drink-amy (I positively FREAKED OUT) @anincompletelist @inexplicablymine @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @lizzie-bennetdarcy

Been pretty busy this week with a visit from a friend from a different city so what you get today is almost a direct follow up from Wip Wednesday!! It's six-ish sentences I think

“Sweetheart,” Alex says, his tone changing to something syrupy and warm in his southern accent when he uses the term of endearment. He leans closer to Henry so he can say whatever he’s going to say next near his ear. “You wouldn’t survive me better dressed than this.”  The bastard has the audacity to smirk and leave Henry gaping silently before he takes a turn and goes inside a shop, where he’s greeted by an older, very short lady who calls him by his name or some alteration of it. Henry’s brain positively short-circuits.

Rainy Day Plans

Warnings: fluff

Pairing: Bang Chan x gn! Reader

Word count: 535

On a dreary, rain-soaked Saturday, Y/N had been looking forward to a day out with her friends. The plan was to explore the city, visit the local cafes, and maybe catch a movie. But as fate would have it, the heavens opened up, and a torrential downpour began just as she was about to leave her apartment.

Frustrated and disheartened, Y/N watched the raindrops race down her windowpane. She had been looking forward to this day for weeks, and now it seemed like all her plans were ruined. She scrolled through her phone, seeing messages from her friends canceling one by one. It was a rainy day, and nobody wanted to venture out in such weather.

Just when Y/N was about to resign herself to a day of Netflix and boredom, there was a knock at her door. Surprised, she opened it to find none other than Bang Chan, her closest friend and confidant. He stood there, drenched from head to toe, with an apologetic grin.

"I couldn't bear the thought of you being stuck inside all day," he said, shaking off the water from his hair. "So, I thought I'd bring the plans to you!"

Y/N couldn't help but smile at his thoughtfulness. "You're soaking wet," she observed, stepping aside to let him in. "Come on, let's get you out of those wet clothes before you catch a cold."

Bang Chan laughed, appreciating her concern. He followed her to the bathroom, where she handed him a towel and some dry clothes she had lying around. As he changed, Y/N couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart, grateful for such a caring friend.

Once Bang Chan was dry and comfortable, they huddled on the couch with blankets, their rainy day adventure taking on a different form. Y/N had a collection of board games and an assortment of snacks ready for a day like this. They decided to play a game of Scrabble, unleashing their competitive spirits.

The hours passed in a blur as they played game after game, sharing laughter and stories between rounds. The rain continued to pour outside, but inside Y/N's cozy apartment, it felt like a world of its own. They ordered some comfort food for lunch, continuing to enjoy each other's company.

As the day turned into evening, Bang Chan and Y/N decided to watch a movie. They curled up on the couch, sharing a blanket, their shoulders touching. Y/N couldn't help but steal glances at him when she thought he wouldn't notice, appreciating the way he made this unexpected rainy day so much brighter.

As the credits rolled on the movie, Bang Chan turned to Y/N with a smile. "You know," he began, "sometimes the best plans are the ones you never make."

Y/N nodded in agreement. "Today turned out to be pretty amazing, even though we got stuck inside."

With a soft chuckle, Bang Chan replied, "Well, I'm glad I could be your rainy day companion. Who needs to go out when you've got great company and board games, right?"

Y/N couldn't have agreed more. The rain may have thwarted their original plans, but it brought them closer together on this unexpected and memorable day spent inside.

✩ author's note: this fic is heavily inspired by @kingkyoujurou's "Another Era, Another Universe". please go give it a read because without them I wouldn't have any idea of what I'm doing

chapters: one, two, three, four, five

Compared to others, you had a good life. You were almost done with college, you had a loving family, and you lived in a cute little town in the countryside. But today was different, today, you and your friends were traveling through Japan. And as much as you wanted to go and keep exploring, the sun was setting, and you couldn't risk the wrath of all your friends.

"Come on, just two more stores! I can see a ramen store right there!" You whined as you and your friends all walked into the hotel lobby. They all laughed as you got into the elevator with them.

"Come on Y/n, we went across half of the entire city. That's a lot of walking!" One of them said as she yawned. "Besides, you almost went bankrupt, it's day two and you've already spent two-thirds of your spending." Another commented, wrapping his arm around you to lean on.

You sighed as the elevator doors opened up with a ding. The four of you begrudgingly all walked down. But, nevertheless, you steeled yourself, grabbed your raincoat, your hiking boots, your bag filled with all of your necessities, and your old froggy umbrella. You smiled as you took in a deep breath and opened the door.

You made sure to lock your door and pull against the handle a few times just in case before you took your shoes off. The rest of your friends all undressed as you looked at your phone to see what you had done.

"Maiden Road, raccoon cafe, anime store, maid cafe, oh!" "What is it?" "We missed that shrine near the forest! Can we go now? They say it's best at night!" "Hell no! It's gonna start raining soon and I don't wanna get swept away!" Your other friend said as she let her hair down and snatched up a towel.

You hummed to yourself as you thought about what you all would do tomorrow. But the promise of the shrine visit was killing you. You wanted to see it, no, you NEEDED to see it. You looked back at your friends. You were still in your clothes and had the location up on your phone but you had to come up with a good excuse. After a few minutes, finally, one appeared.

"I'm gonna go downstairs to the little convenience store and buy some food. I'll be back in a second!" Your friends all waved you off as you grabbed your hotel key and made your way downstairs and hailed a taxi. This was gonna be fun.

Ever since you were little, you had always wanted to go to Japan. The food, the culture, the colors, and the people. Anything and everything made you so excited. But most importantly, you wanted to see the shrines. Of all the books you read about Japan, they always mentioned the unique and mystical shrines dotted across the country. And you were gonna try your damndest to visit every single one, no matter what it took.

You paid the driver and got out near a street lamp so you could get your barrings. You slowly began to follow your map which led you through a massive, and eerily quiet, forest. The lack of noise creeped you out and made you wish you had your headphones.

Finally, after what felt like hours, you spotted a paper lantern with the kanji "参道" on it. You followed it until it led to one lantern after another and then, in all of its glory, was the shrine. It was a tall pillar of white stone that was surrounded by smaller statues and beautiful wisteria trees. Each flower was a beautiful purple and seemed to almost glow in the moonlight.

You sighed and took a moment to catch your breath, silencing your phone and rolling up your sleeves. You walked up, bowed, clapped your hands twice, and went to reach for your--

oh,

oh no,

"HOW DO I NOT HAVE ANY COINS?" Your scream caused a stir in the forest. You panicked and patted down all your pockets. Surely you had at least one 10 yen coin, but none were found. "I can't turn back. I'm not gonna turn back." You thought about what you could offer. Paper money wouldn't be okay, nor your credit card, and then you thought about a different offering.

You walked over and pulled off a wisteria flower. You knew it was wrong and not the right offer, but you were desperate. You placed it down and yawned. You were more than ready to go back to the hotel and get some sleep, but you still had one more thing to take care of.

As you turned your heel to walk out, a twig snapped somewhere in the dark forest. How cliche, You thought to yourself. You scrambled to get your phone and turn on your flashlight but it was knocked out of your hand by a hand full of claws. You looked up and were face to face with a...a...

"HOLY SHIT IT HAS TEETH!" Your fight-or-flight instinct kicked it, and you chose flight. You ran into the forest, not caring about staying on the path, you just needed to get away. You ran past trees, jumped over rocks, and eventually tripped over a large root before landing on your face. The creature grew closer, breathing heavily and making noises like a wild animal. You turned over to meet your fate, but before you could, sleep clouded your vision and a moment later, you were out.

・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・

As you started to stir, you could hear voices and a soft, flickering noise. You opened your eyes expecting to be surrounded by your friends and hospital equipment but instead were surrounded by empty beds, a few strangers, and the stench of old bandages. Your nose stung from the smell alone. You did your best to sit up but felt a pair of tiny hands push you back down.

“No no no! You need to stay down Miss L/n!” The little girl whined. She looked as if she was going to pass out, her little worried expression was precious. But that still begged the question…

“How do you know my name?” “Oh no, Miss L/n have you forgotten?” “And who are you?” “I-I’m Terauchi, don’t you remember? I work with Nakahara-chan and Takada-chan. Oh no, do you really not remember?” Terauchi looked as if she were about to cry. All of the others in the room looked at you with concern. Some even looked with pity. Could these be your friends? Did you just wake up from a coma? Have you been living in Japan the entire time? Was life a simulation? You did your best to remain calm but couldn’t.

Terauchi ran out of the room and came back with two others who you could only assume were Nakahara and Takada, following behind was a slightly older girl with big blue eyes and short hair. She walked over and held your hand as your breathing returned.

What felt like only a few minutes ago, you had been running for your life in a forest from some sort of thing. And now, you’re waking up in a whole new world surrounded by people you didn’t recognize. Even worse, these people somehow knew you. You needed to calm down.

You took in a deep breath as the girls around you all smiled and let you take your time. You did what you could to calm down as your heartbeat slowed and your pulse went to normal. Terauchi hugged you while she and the other little girls left, leaving behind the older girl.

“Can you really not remember anything?” Her voice was surprisingly stern for someone so young. Like a mom but…teenier.

“No, I can’t. And who are you?” “Aoi, and you’re in the butterfly mansion.” “That’s a weird name.”

Aoi groaned and reached into her apron, pulled out a small paper bag, opened it, poured out some medicine into a small cup next to you, and mixed it thoroughly before handing it back. “Drink this three times a day, morning, noon, and night. Don’t move around too much, you’re still too weak to be walking. And for the love of God if you need help just shout and someone will come.” As you drank, your eyes wandered around the room.

It was large enough to fit at least 8 patients but small enough to still be manageable. It was bright as well. All of the windows were wide open letting in a nice, cool breeze. The smell of the gravel and the sound of the trees reminded you of your home. You managed to take a deep breath as Aoi gave you a nod and left.

After that, it took you a while to realize this was no dream. Actual weeks went by. So much so that you had to start training. You had only ever picked up a sword to do cosplay or just to drool over the idea of having a big piece of metal in your hands, but this was new. This was going to be your life now. You were a demon slayer, more specifically a Kanoe, just like one of the other inhabitants of the mansion. Her name was Kanao from what you remembered. This meant two very important things.

First and foremost, this was not your first injury. You had been here before, fighting demons and kicking ass. Secondly, it meant that you had survived. Somehow, you and your dumbass self had survived a dozen or more demons, multiple times. However…

It also sucked.

The others around you that you had come to learn were your friends all started to leave you out of sessions. Your memory loss wasn’t enough to prove to them that you weren’t the same person they thought you were. You were left to figure out what you could do on your own. And, surprisingly, you were able to figure a little out. You learned how to block and how to swing. That was it. Just enough so you could defend yourself and run like hell away.

But even if you had learned a lot, you still had the issue of going back to the butterfly mansion at the end of the day to sleep in a room that wasn’t yours. Your phone was gone and you were slowly going insane. Plus the infinite amount of books you could find wasn’t gonna be enough for you.

But finally, after a few weeks of training and getting yourself back together, another one of the demon slayers approached you. He seemed excited as he approached you in the hallway.

“L/n! L/n! Guess what?” “Hmm?”

You struggled to remember his name before pronouncing it slowly. “Ez..ume…right?” The boy’s eyes lit up and nodded. A smile appeared on both of your faces as you listened.

“We’re heading to Swordsmith Village! We’re finally gonna get our Nichirin blades!” You raised one of your eyebrows in confusion.

“Don’t we already have swords?” “The training ones? No! Those are wooden, they could never kill a demon.” He hit the back of your head in a friendly manner. “Come on, L/n, you need to keep up.”

You let out a chuckle and rubbed your head. “Well, when do we leave?” “Before daybreak, tomorrow. Your crow should be here any minute to give you more info.” Ezume looked back down the hall at a smaller group of slayers who were waving for him to join. He smiled and waved at you before running over to join them before they all disappeared further into the mansion.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, your crow arrived practically screaming at you about your mission. As it did, you took your uniform off and cleaned it up for tomorrow. You left your room to go and eat before you and Ezume chatted for a bit; even going outside to practice your skills before you both parted ways.

The moon above you glowed in the middle of the night sky as you finally entered your room. Your face was washed, your uniform was cleaned, and even your crow was fast asleep. You pulled the covers up and held them close as the sounds of crickets and the trees waved. Yet, you couldn’t sleep. Usually, you have the option of taking some meds to help you out. But now you were forced to lay awake as the moon’s glow filled your room.

Hours went by and you continued to lay awake in your room. You didn’t have a clock but considering how late or early it was you got up and readied your uniform. But you couldn’t help but hear the faint noise of conflict a few doors down. You walked over and pushed open your door before sneaking off and creeping down the hallway. The two voices were entirely different. The first one was soft and gentle with a sad undertone, a female’s voice. The second was husky and filled with anger. A male voice.

As you approached a corner you paused and stuck your ear out to listen to the two.

“Please, Y/n just needs more time. I’m sure that they’ll be back to their duties very soon.” “You don’t understand, they’ve never been like this. Ever! Something happened in Akigawa \valley, something bad.” You could feel the house shake as you heard what sounded like a punch to the wall. “They’re practically a different person!” “Y/n has been learning, they’re getting better. It’s a memory issue--” “Repeating it to me won’t change my mind Shinobu! They had enough skills to become a Hashira!”

You let out a small yawn, it was barely above a whisper but somehow caught the attention of the two. You felt a big hand grab your wrist and pull you into the light. The man holding your wrist was tall and had white, spiky hair and surprisingly pretty, pale purple eyes. The other was more familiar to you, Shinobu, the head of the mansion. A little ravenette with purple eyes and short hair. She frowned at seeing you listening in but instead walked over and pulled the man away.

“Sanemi, that’s enough. You’re hurting them.” Shinobu smiled at you as she looked over at you. “You’re healing, that’s good! Are you excited to go to the village?” You nodded at her words only to get shouted at by Sanemi.

“Don’t speak to them as if they’re a child, they’re a demon slayer. They’re practically a Hashira--” “I am a Kanoe and I fucking enjoy it!” You said with a strange sense of pride. You stared the white-haired hashira dead in the eyes as a sadistic smile crept onto his face. He grabbed your collar and lifted you up with ease. His eyes burned red like burning hot daggers.

“What did you just say? Did a weakling just speak back to me? I must have misjudged you, maybe you aren’t ready to be a Hashira. Maybe you’re dead meat.” “And maybe you’re a bitch.” You could feel your heart racing as you said those words. A sick comeback you would only think of in the shower, you couldn’t wait to tell the others. If you were still alive at that point.

“Why I outta--” “Caw! Wake up, wake up! Caw! You must leave for Swordsmith village!”

Your crow screamed from your room as you heard several others wake up and scurry to get their uniforms on. Shinobu separated you from Sanemi before you fell down, bowed to both of them, and ran to your room, putting on your uniform and getting a small bag ready. You followed your crow out to the gates of the grand estate where you met up with the others and set off on your journey.

“Hey L/n, you don’t look so good, are you-” “Later, Ezume. Later."

.・。.・゜☂・.・☽・゜・。.・。.・゜☂・.・☽・゜・。.・。.・゜☂・

The trek to the village had been long and rough. You all had tried to stay happy and kept morale up but it was no use. The mountains you had to climb over, the valleys you had to walk through, and the stupid paths you kept getting lost on made you want to rip your hair out. Sure, it had been pretty, there were birds and stuff but it was still almost a full day of traveling.

So by the time that you arrived at the village with your company in tow, you were ready to rest. The entrance was a tall group of houses that led to a long narrow road. The sound of clanging metal and the scent of steam was almost too much for you but you went on. The others all seemed to have a designated location to go to. Some of the smiths opened their doors and gave them their blades almost immediately. Others welcomed them with open arms and offered them food and drink. Ezume walked to a small house and was led in to go and see his swordsmith, leaving you alone to stand awkwardly for all to see.

You walked around the rows of buildings, listening to the sounds of laughter and work mixed together. The smell of sake and steam drifted through the air making your nose twitch, you never really enjoyed alcohol. And as you rounded the corner, you felt an oddly familiar hand touch your shoulder.

“Y/n! It is very good to see you! How are you?” Standing next to you was a tall man in a clown mask, you hopped back a bit as you didn’t recognize him. He tilted his head and lowered himself, holding up his hands in a friendly manner. “Y/n? Are you okay?”

“Ah- Uhm..” “L/n lost their memory!” Ezume shouted as he walked up to you, at his hip was a long sheath which you assumed held his new sword. “They what?” The man shouted in a rageful voice. He looked between you and Ezume. “When did this happen? Was it a demon? Where is your sword?”

You put your hands over your ears as the man went on, expressing not just anger about what had happened to you, but also anger about his swords. Some of the other villagers had to practically come out and hold him back while he calmed down. As he did, another stranger appeared. He was much older, and frailer too.

“Ah, young L/n,” He said with a bow “I see that you have come for your blade, yes?” “Yes sir?” You offered him a weak smile, he let out a soft chortle and walked over to the screaming ball of rage. 

“Hotaru, you are an esteemed sword maker, please act as such.”

“Yes, Chief Tecchin.” Hotaru managed to calm himself down, stand up and took your hand to lead you to his home. He opened up the sliding doors and you were met with the sight of a busy workspace. A barrel of water, a large anvil, and several sticks of Dango everywhere, both clean and unfinished. He let your hand go and reached up to a tall shelf before pulling down a long, elegant blade.

Your eyes sparkled as you looked at it. It was long and completely black with a unique hilt. It was a lavender-colored oval-shaped hilt with a dark purple rim, on the top was a detailed etching of a familiar-looking tree next to what looked like a statue of sorts. Hotaru took a moment to admire his work before carefully handing you the blade. You took it with a grateful bow of your head before holding it in both hands. As you did, the blade began to take a beautiful greyish-pink and purple color, much like the trees that had surrounded the master’s estate when you had visited last. 

“The handle is a mixture of wisteria and cork as per your request. I understand that your hands tend to sweat during battle so the cork will be able to absorb the residue until you clean it next.” Hotaru reached over and pointed at the hilt and opened his hands as if asking for it. You gave it to him and he reached into his pocket to pull out a long piece of fabric. He set the sword down and tied the fabric across the hilt in a unique pattern before handing it back to you once more. “Try holding it.”

Because of how it had been wrapped, the blade fitted perfectly into your hands with ease, familiar and comforting ease. You stood up and twirled it around a bit, smiling and laughing like an idiot the whole time. Hotaru cleaning enjoyed seeing his work admired.

“Welp, that does it for us. I’m delighted to have seen you and hope your memory returns.” Hotaru gave you a nod as you gathered yourself and walked out, offering him a wave before walking toward the rest of the slayers.

“Yep, me too…”

.・。.・゜❋・.・⍋・゜・。.・。.・゜❋・.・⍋・゜・。.・。.・゜❋

Darkness had fallen faster than anticipated forcing the slayers to run. They still had a while before they were close to the roads but that wasn’t their main worry. Their main worry as of now was surviving, and Y/n wasn’t helping. So, with blades held tight and their minds focused on getting the hell back to the butterfly mansion, they ran as fast as they could through the tall brush, unable to see if they were heading the right way.

Darkness had fallen faster than anticipated forcing the slayers to run. They still had a while before they were close to the roads but that wasn’t their main worry.

So, with blades held tight and their minds focused on getting the hell back to the butterfly mansion, they ran as fast as they could through the tall brush, unable to see if they were heading the right way.

“Keep going, I think I see a clearing up ahead!” Shouted Ayako, one of the others in the group of five. Sure enough, she was right. Just ahead you could see a small space surrounded by massive trees. You pulled your shit together and ran up to the open space, looking back and watching for both the others to see if anything was chasing you.

Ezume was last to follow, heaving and collapsing once he made it to the clearing. Ayako was having none of it. She kicked his side, forcing him up.

“We need to keep going,” Ayako shouted. “We need to take a break!” Ezume shouted back. “We need to get our bearings.” Yelled another. “We NEED to Shut the fuck up!” You screamed. The others went dead silent as you listened to the forest. This felt all too similar to something else.

The moon was in the middle of the sky and the forest was eerily quiet. You held up a finger to your mouth, having the others quiet down and taking up defensive positions as Ezume got himself up as well. The lack of noise creeped you out and made you wish you had your headphones. Headphones… Headphones.

“What’s the nearest landmark to us right now?” “What?” “Ayako, listen to me, where are we?” “The uh- the valley.” “WHICH FUCKING VALLEY?” “DON’T SHOUT AT ME!”

“Akigawa!” Ezume screamed as he looked around frantically. “Why? What’s wrong?” His question was answered by a twig snapping and a clicking of some hollowed mouth sounded out from the dark forest. You turned to face your enemy. A tall and gangly demon with long limbs and a tongue hanging loosely from its mouth. Its eyes were glossy as if it had been blinded and its body was covered in sparse hairs and battle scars. You went dead quiet, moving ever so closer to your group and whispering as quietly as you could.

“Everyone, don’t panic. I think it can’t see us so whatever you do, don’t-” "HOLY SHIT IT HAS TEETH!"

Your fight or flight kicked it, and you chose flight. You ran into the forest with your comrades, not caring about staying on the path or out of danger, you just needed to get away. You ran past trees, jumped over rocks, and eventually tripped over a rock before landing on your back. A loud crack broke some of the silence and you felt your leg come undone. The footsteps grew closer, breathing heavily and making noises like a wild animal. You turned over to meet your fate, not sure if you were ready to die or not.

You could hear the others running past as you locked your sight on the demon. It approached slowly, sticking its long arms out and waving them like it was using a cane. You had an advantage this time and a good one at that. Your fight or flight kicked it yet again, and this time, you chose to fight.

You managed to get up and got into a battle stance, doing your best to remove as much weight from your broken leg as possible as you held your sword, took a deep breath, and listened to what was around you.

Silence.

Heavy footsteps.

Distant screams.

And a strange sense of power coursing through your body.

You opened your eyes and spoke quietly.

“Wisteria Breathing. First Form: First Spring.” Your body lunged forward and you side-slashed the demon from the right to the left at an angle, taking its head off with a satisfying and clean cut. The demon fell to its knees, turning into ash.

You let your guard down for a moment, stumbling back and falling down, your injury getting worse as you landed on your ass. You let yourself roll onto your back and let out a deep and heavy sigh as the night air washed over you.

“sleep now, young one”

Just a fun idea

   If Nova was a romanceable npc in mtas then what dialogues would she have ( like one for each relationship level (Acquaintance, Buddy, Good Friend, romance), you can skip levels or add more lines if you want )

Introduction:

Hiya! I haven't seen you around yet, so I'm assuming you're new - I'm Nova, one of your fellow builders! Come find me if you need a buddy to go ruin diving with.

Birthday:

My birthday's on Summer 15. When I lived in Seesai, I spent every single birthday at the beach. I can't really do that anymore here, so my new thing is just sitting by the oasis.

Acquaintance:

If you ever need to get ahold of me, ask Kor or Daphne where I am, they'll probably know! Oh, wait, but...what if you don't know where they are...hmm. I'll get back to you on that!

Kor told me you're from Highwind! That's cool, I've always wanted to visit. You think I'd be...blown away?...Sorry, that was bad. Ignore that!

Uh oh! I forgot my pass to the salvage yard expires today...you think Rocky will let me extend it for, like, a discount...?

Buddy:

Moving to Sandrock gave me a bit of culture shock. I do miss Seesai a lot, but I really think I'm better off here than I was there.

There you are! Daphne stopped by earlier to give me a few melons from the Moisture Farm...care to share some with me?

I love collecting minerals and whatnot from the desert, but I am so intimidated by the Boxing Jacks there. Every time I see them coming from the corner of my eye, I can't help but yell!

Good Friend:

My brother lives in Walnut Groove. He's a real successful Builder there. To be honest, I don't care for building that much, but...it's a stable job, at least. Don't know if I'll live up to the expectations he's set, though.

I used to be the apprentice of a well-known Builder in Seesai. She was really kind to me, even when I made mistakes all day. I was so sad when my apprenticeship ended! In fact, she made me my bandana and pickhammer as a parting gift. I try to write to her every few weeks.

I have a really small collection of Old World stories and movies. It gets boring watching and reading the same things over and over again, though, so I hope I'll find more stuff in Sandrock to mix up the collection!

Romance

Confession Accepted:

Oh? I can't believe it, you beat me to it! Of course I accept.

Confession Rejected:

I'm...really flattered, I promise, but...I'm so sorry, I just don't think we're at that level with each other...

General Lines:

I made you this bracelet the other day. You don't have to wear it, if it's not your style! Buuut...I do have a matching one, sooo...

I've wanted to visit Seesai for a while, but I was always too nervous to go through with it. I think if you're by my side, though, I'll be able to manage.

Hey! What are you doing today? You wanna go eat at the saloon? I'll pay, don't worry!

Honey?...mmm, no. Sweetie? Hmm...Oh! Sorry! Just trying out nicknames for you...baby?

When I first got here, I felt like I had something to prove. I don't even know who I was trying to prove something to! But now that you're here, I feel like the last of that pressure came off of my shoulders.

Festivals

Day of the Bright Sun:

• I put in a few accessories I made over the last couple of weeks. I hope whichever person ends up with them likes them!

Showdown at High Noon:

Wow, the atmosphere is amazing! Everyone is so amped up for this. I didn't participate in anything like this back in Seesai, so I can't wait to see who comes out on top!

Day of Memories:

This festival has different ways of being celebrated in other cities, but they all have one thing in common - they're all so beautiful.

Tour de Rock:

I'm so bad at sandrunning. Maybe I'll just...watch and cheer everyone on!

Running of the Yakmel:

Can I tell you a little secret? I'm kind of scared of Yakmel! They're cute, but they're huge! I try to avoid the ones around the outskirts of town when I can.

Winter Solstice:

I've been looking forward to eating some skewers all day! What better way to kick off the start of a new year?

Peace in the Darkness

Date: October 9th, 2131

Pretty much since leaving for the first time, I kept thinking about going back to the Dark World. CK kept texting me about how he's been visiting with Kris and I finally managed to convince Papa to drive me to Hometown again a few days ago and again today. I'm still jealous that CK can come here whenever he wants.

In the three total days I've visited, I've mostly just felt this sense of... peace in Castle Town (which is apparently the official name of this city in a closet). It's so... mysterious and wonderful and magical. And even if Kris hasn't really shown us around outside of the castle, I really like it here. There's just... something about it that I like more than the outside world, that I can't exactly place.

And then there's Spamton. He's... well a little weird and eccentric if I'm being honest, but still nice. It's given (er, well, sold) me at least two more of the weird potions Kris won't let me drink, and some frayed bowties and weird blue eggs? (They remind me of robin eggs and I put them with my collection at home, so I think they're eggs at least.) That and all the offers and deals he keeps giving me I think show a form of friendship, right? I mean, that's the sort of stuff I talk about with my other friends. Except for CK I guess, but he's my cousin so it's a little different.

Anyways, the last time I was here, Spamton mentioned not having a good night's rest in a bit because its bed was literal trash (which like, figure of speech right so I know it's not literally garbage and technically should be figurative but also I didn't correct it because I've picked up that people don't like me correcting stuff like that). So today I decided to make him a gift and give it to him! I spent like, all of yesterday making this little red race car bed out of cardboard. I even stole- I mean barrowed, Rexi's doll to get the measurements right. (The fact that Spamton is almost literally the size of my brother's porcelain doll is kinda baffling but that'd also be rude to bring up.) I hope Spamton liked it. I mean, I think he did. Its eyes went dark for a bit and then it sorta started crying? Felt kinda awkward but I'm taking that as he appreciated the gift. After Spamton was done crying it immediately tried to sell me another weird potion before Kris shut it down.

CK also seems to be getting along with Jevil, even though Kris is concerned by how well the two of them are getting along. I think I've heard them mention how they've had to stop those two from getting up to double the mischief and pranks. ...Also how they almost burned something down the other day. (I know CK's magic can get a little out of hand at times but goodness gracious!)

Kris also said they plan on showing us around soon. Even if they won't say how soon "soon" is. Most of the time CK or I have been in Castle Town, they've been doing a lot of checklists and talking to people and stuff. What they say is their duties as "Ambassador and Guardian of the Dark", whatever that means. I'm just excited to eventually get a chance to explore this city a little more. Everything looks so exciting and new, I wanna see what everything is.

SR Epel Felmier Masquerade Dress Personal Story: Part 1

"It was a great shop!"

Part 1 (Part 2)

[City of Flowers]

Azul: Well, then. We've successfully seen all there is to see in the City of Flowers.

Azul: It is still too early to head back towards the set assembly point. How about we head off on our own, and meet back here in about half an hour.

Deuce: Then, I guess I'm gonna head back to that shop we went to earlier and eat another croissant.

Azul: Hm, I wonder just how many of these places I've listed here that I'll be able to visit in 30 minutes… Right then, see you later, Epel-san.

Epel: Yessir!

Epel: Where do I even want to go…? Nothing really comes to mind, so I guess I'll just kinda wander around here.

Epel: There's a ton of stone buildings in the City of Flowers. Even though it's also in the Shaftlands, it's so different from Harveston.

Epel: Urk! That store on the corner over there's got a ton of posters that's got Vil-san on 'em!

Epel: Is that… a beauty shop? Oh cool, they have soap made of goat milk. Uhh, what do they got over there…?

???: Whew! At this here rate, I ain't got no clue how much more I can carry…

[Apple falls to the ground and starts to roll away]

Epel: Ah! Excuse me. An apple fell out of your crate.

???: Oh, why thank you. Sorry to trouble… Oh, hey, is that you, Epel-kun!?

Epel: Oh hey, you're from Harveston! Why're you here!?

Stall Owner: So, I come to the City of Flowers and open up a special stall that sells apple pastries during these festivities!

Stall Owner: Why are you in this city, Epel?

Epel: I was invited here for a social gathering hosted by Noble Bell College. I'm in the middle of touring the city with some school mates right now.

Epel: …But, uh, are you okay? You look like you were strugglin' carrying all those apples…

Stall Owner: That's the thing… The truck I was using to transport the apples today broke down, and it's just not starting up anymore.

Epel: EEEEH!?

Stall Owner: That's why I'm carrying all these crates full of apple. I can't bake anything if I don't got my ingredients.

Stall Owner: And these apples from Harveston are so plump and heavy, y'know. If I don't hurry up, it'll get dark soon. Ahahah!!

Epel: Oh, then, I'll help too!

Stall Owner: Don't worry, don't worry. You're with your school friends, right?

Epel: Nope, it's okay. Right now we've got some free time, so I've just been wandering around the city by myself.

Epel: 'Sides, I can't just turn a blind eye to someone from Harveston struggling like this. Let me help you!

Stall Owner: Oh, alright, thanks… My truck is over there. I'm going to take these apples I have now, so head that way for now.

Epel: There's the truck! Okay, then let's get down to it… Wow, that's a ton of apples!

Epel: This is gonna take way too long if we gotta carry this by hand. I wonder if I can carry a bunch in one go if I use magic…

Malleus: Is something the matter with these apples?

Epel: AAAAAHH!? M-MALLEUS-SAN!? WHEN DID YOU GET BEHIND ME…?

Malleus: I was exploring the City of Flowers, and I merely happened to pass by. What is happening here?

Epel: Uh, so…

Malleus: Hm, so all these apples need to be carried to the stall, you say.

Epel: That's right. I just wanted to help that guy, because I thought it would be tough for him to do it alone…

Stall Owner: Sorry to keep you waiting, Epel-kun… Hm? Is this a friend? He seems to be wearing a similar outfit to yours.

Epel: A-A- A friend!? Malleus-san!? You got it wrong!! This guy… I mean, His Lordship is…

Stall Owner: I see, I see, you called for some support, huh! Why, thank you, this is a great help!

Epel: W-Wait, no! Malleus-san just passing by! We can't use him for manual labor like this!!

Malleus: I do not mind. Allow me to help.

Epel: Eh!? R-Really… Are you sure? Malleus-san, you're supposed to be enjoying your trip…

Malleus: No need to hesitate so. It matters not my own travels; I am not so narrow-minded so as to forsake a person in need.

Epel: Thank you very much! Then, let's quickly get these apples moving.

Stall Owner: Woah, amazing! All the crates with the apples are suddenly floating!

Malleus: What are you doing, Felmier?

Epel: What do you mean, what…? I thought we could bring the apples over by floating the crates…

Malleus: Is there time to do it in such a painstaking way? If we are in a rush, we only need carry everything together.

[everything starts shaking]

Epel: Carry everything together…? EEEH!!!???
