you'd be better off staying here. do you really have to go? irokai

Iroksa stands on the balcony of Kai's apartment, looking out at the brilliant orange and pinks splashed across the city skyline. Little streetlight pinpricks burst to life in the blue-black darkness of streets and alleyways, and they lean their jaw in their hand. Soon, Her darkness will overtake the city for the span of a night, bringing it to its most beautiful.

They glance at Kai, smiling. "You know I must. My people are awaiting my brilliance, after all, and I cannot deprive them forever. Besides, I miss my mountaintops dearly. It will be a breath of fresh air to be among people who understand my faith."

"My only regret is that you won't be coming as well."

i mightve sent this already but uhhhh heart me bitch

(( GET OVER HERE *SLAMS YOU THROUGH A WALL* ))

(( YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IM GOING TO SAY. I WILL SCREAM. I LOVE YOUR ART. I LOVE YOUR WRITING. I LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS. IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR FINISHED COSPLAY. ))

(( There’s a certain visceral feeling you bring to everything you write that makes me think of future-vegetarian farm kids being forced to hunt. It makes sense In My Head and In My Heart. My favorite author is Harlan Ellison and truly the way you describe certain things makes me think of if Harlan Ellison was more interested in viscera and rot and tearing and gnashing and more queer ))

(( We talk about him all the time I love him I’m obsessed with him RED RED RED I AM GONNA DRAW HIM I WILL I never posted the finished one I did of him and Titus fishing but I wanna do better than that one because it’s RED!!! HE DESERVES IT!!! I cannot wait to reply to the threads we have the only reason I haven’t yet is because the excitement is so much that my hands shake too much to type good!!!! ))

(( I want to be deka that is all. I feel like I’d meet him at a drag show and he’d hold my drink while I went to the bathroom and I’d come back and he’d be holding like 3 other drinks and can’t remember which is mine ))

(( KAI IS AAAAAAAA SO INTERESTING HES GOT SO MANY ISSUES BUT OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO FEEL BETTER AND IS ON THE ROAD TO A BETTER FUTURE AND I BELIEVE IN HIM HE CAN DO IT!! He REALLY reminds me of people I’ve met, I bet he would love seasonal work. I feel like he would kill in a village of 20-something year olds who are all just partying and trying to make something new for themselves ykno? I want to actually write with him since last time it was with a muse I was not actually prepared to write well, he deserves the world and I really want to draw him as well ))

(( God tier writer for sure, god tier artist, my hands are shaking too much rn but I also wanna say that whenever I see that you messaged me on discord I get Very Excited and then have to chill out before forming my responses because I’m Normal. Thank you for convincing me to do artfight this year I’m so pumped about it and I hope you have a great time too ))

#(( can you tell the party is progressing as I write these )) #pardon me i’m dancing for no reason! ( ooc. ) #( ask. ) #desertfragments

Territorial (closed)

@desertfragments

Whisper's of the night tend to travel faster in the dark. And so, reports of missing persons in and around his territory were of major concern. Especially since he’d been told there were traces of something unnatural about them. Whether Taos cared for humans or not, their complete disappearance was something to find concern in. 

Other vampires in his jurisdiction were under strict rule not to kill  their feeds, and always remove memory of the attack if possible. So either a rogue vampire had wandered into his territory, clueless of his rule, or down right stupid. On top of that, there had also been reports of something unnatural being sold to civilians. He was missing information - But word had been put out to arrange a meeting with the seller- Allowing Taos the first hand opportunity to meet and level with this individual. Whomever they may be. 

At no point during each investigation however, had he been clued in that both issues were the cause of a single person. First, he’d deal with the seller, and then, the culprit behind disappearing people. 

The meeting had been arranged under an alias, god forbid the culprit decline or run from the name Taos Raoul. It was destined to happen at night, near to the edge of town, between run down and dilapidated buildings long forgotten by the government's wealth. Toas remained weary, old enough to know that there were creatures lurking much more worthy of fear than a vampire. So he hadn’t been stupid enough to come alone - But little did he make it known. 

Vampire’s surrounded the area, ears to the ground and walls as they awaited signals or commands- but far enough out of sight or hidden well within neighboring walls. 

The meeting itself was to happen in a run down bar, apparently holding no patrons that evening. Well, none that didn’t follow Taos’ command. Vampire’s under the guise of drunk humans. Apparently only one table stood waiting with an empty seat, meaning it would be easy to tell where to go when the suspect arrived. 

And so, sporting a half full glass of whiskey, Taos would be waiting. Alcohol having no effect on his long dead organs.

hc ask: keerin, bc im self indulgent and wanna know ur thoughts but also annalise

Headcanon A:  realistic

Keerin: they still secretly enjoy presenting masc, but their enjoyment of it has been completely tainted by familial expectation to the point they've convinced themself it's not for them.

Annalise: when she heard the Lost Capulets for the first time, she knew she had to see them in person. the crosscountry drive to the city they play in is one she could have, if she tried, done in a few days. but she allotted weeks for it, solely so she could stop and visit all the roadside attractions she never got the chance to see when she was a kid on the road with her dad.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Keerin: ankle fetish

Annalise: in elementary, a chicken hid in her backpack and came to school with her and followed her around all day. she was so popular, everyone was amazed at how well 'trained' it was.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Keerin: a long time ago, you told me about how keerin had an eating disorder during their teen model phase, but they'd managed to recover. for a while there, they were doing really well, connecting and baking and being involved in their community. they were recovering while kai was getting worse. but now that they're with their grandma and her strict diets, theyre gonna relapse. as kai's getting healthier, keerin's getting thinner.

Annalise: in spite of how incredibly close they were as kids, her dad barely knows who she is anymore. he doesn't know about the angel stuff. he doesn't know about the smoking, or drinking, or depression. it's not that he hates her or has been ignoring her, he just... hasn't been home enough to see it. she didnt tell him when she left for her road trip. every time he calls, she lies, having made up an entire fake college schedule to feed him, just so he doesn't get worried or feel disappointed in her.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Keerin: wore the POOFIEST dress to prom. hated it so much theure never ever gonna wear a poofy dress ever again.

Annalise: shes schrodinger's trans rn. she has some powerful trans vibes but i cant figure out how to make it work with her story.

(( Starter for @desertfragments >:) ))

It wasn’t often that Eris had a night off, usually choosing to work overtime even when the opportunity arose. But her boss had basically forced her to take some time off (so he wouldn’t have to pay her, no doubt), and she had heard good things about whatever musician was supposed to be playing tonight. The drive may have been a bit far, but it wasn’t like anything good was coming to her home town any time soon (if ever, if she was being honest).

It had been good if not a little crowded, better than she had let herself expect. Now, she was hanging around outside with a smoke, putting off the drive back as long as she possibly could while casually checking her phone to see if the performers had uploaded their music somewhere.

Loose lips sink ships

Send “loose lips sink ships” for my muse to accidentally give away a secret that your muse wasn’t supposed to know.

“That’s good, that it hasn’t come back.“ Cyrus leaned back on the window, pressing his shoulder into the warm glass as he gazed out into the busy street below. Even if the Husk had barely looked his way, he still found himself scanning and watching his back. With wry amusement, he continued, “Xander’s been texting me nonstop about it since I mentioned what happened to him. He wants to build a team; he’s so sure he and Honeybee can--” Fuck. “--can take it.“ The glimmer of amusement was gone, and though he didn’t move, tension climbed his bones. Jay wasn’t the most observant. Maybe she wouldn’t think anything of it?

  Gaara gingerly tapped the door with the back of his knuckles, two to-go cups in hand. A strong coffee was the only way he would have made it through the dreariness of a rainy afternoon, and, he had realized standing in line at the café around the corner, it would have been rude to show up with just the one.

  His hair was wet from the morning drizzle, the bags under his eyes no less prominent than they were last time they parted ways, but he’d made to Jay unscathed, hadn’t he?

positivity meme heart :thumbs up

(Positivity meme that I've been hoarding for months >_>;)

So much skill! You put so much thought and consideration into art and writing alike. I especially love hearing your thoughts about your character arcs, and about narrative structure in general. Every time I get an inkling of the amount of plot and character progression you seem to manage to work into rp I’m a bit blown away, ahah – I’m rarely brave enough to work that sort of thing in properly, myself.

(Also you have an impeccable sense of style, my goodness)

[ tilt ] - for receiver to tilt sender’s chin gently to prompt them to make eye contact with receiver

a million years meme ･ﾟ✫ @desertfragments

It's just something you have to do. Hana looked at Red, who was seated beside her. His eyes were trained on those out on the field like a cat on its prey. She could hear the rumbling emanating from him. If she didn't know any better, she might think he was a cat. If you ignore it, it'll just get worse and worse. She, too, turned her attention back to the three kicking the ball between them. Happy, smiling, laughter and chatter audible even from a distance. You've already let it go for too long. Hana's breathing slowed. Any longer and... then what? You risk losing yourself entirely? She hungered. And despite Red's cautions, she had tried to ignore it, feared losing herself. That night still lingered in her mind. It was in her nature that she would never forget, not even a detail so minute as which way the wind was blowing, but she found herself thinking about it less; unfortunately, that still meant it came to the forefront of her mind at least once a week. At first she tried to ignore the voice, the same one which had followed her for as long as she could remember, telling her to replicate the horrors she had committed that night, but she knew well enough that it was something that could not be shut out, and it became more and more insistent until she'd finally picked up the phone to confess as much to Red, asking for his support, whether it be moral in nature or mere comfort. He made it clear soon enough that he would not be a mere bystander while she got to feast. Hana stood from the picnic table at which they had seated themselves and she made her way over to the men. As though a twist of fate, one of the men kicked the ball and it went astray, rolling to a stop by Hana's feet. 'Hey!' called out the man who had kicked the ball. 'Mind passing it over?' Hana stood silent. Her eyes flicked between the three men. 'You alright, Miss?' Hana did not need to look back to know that Red had joined her, nor did she need to be an expert in emotion to see how the joy sapped from their faces instantaneously, their smiles replaced with worried frowns. It was just like last time; she did not know what happened next, for she had "blacked out," only regaining herself when there were three barely recognisable bodies strewn about the ground and blood still dripping from her fingers. Red, who bore upon his person similar markings in crimson, approached. He took her chin in his hand, manoeuvring her so that her focus was on him and not the carnage they had sown. 'How you feeling?' he asked. Hana's eyes flicked back to the bodies for a split second more before coming back to rest on Red. And however meek it was, Hana smiled. 'Can we... do this again some time?'

[ @desertfragments ;; ask ]

Kai twitches, instinctively twisting his wrists away from Iroska's eyes. The netting of scars carefully hidden under a dark tattoo was broken and marred by a few bright red, half-healed slashes.

"It's." Brown eyes flash with a glimmer of fire-flickering gold. "It's none of your business, Iro. I'm fine." And he needed it. The power he had held in the palm of his hands was slowly bleeding out. Weakening. Spent and dying.

And the rush of power and love made his soul laugh, bright and vivid and alive. Every ruby red drop burned on his skin, searing his veins as it rushed through him, charging every part of his body and making his heart beat brightly until he can hear it, feel it, sing in perfect harmony with the music of the world. Every bleeding drop made everything right and perfect and good and beautiful.

So why would he stop? He doesn't want to think about what he would be, what he would do, how weak and useless he'd become without it. He runs his palm over the scars, the open wounds with a hum. His fingers twitch as the sparks of his magic shimmer over his skin, wrapping his wrist in a quiet illusion.

Kai grins- sharp around the edges- and holds it up. "It's fine. See?" Don't ask me about this don't press it don't don't don't--- Please.

There was no mistaking what Iroksa saw. Kai cringed like a servant caught stealing, and lied just as poorly. A pity. A servant was, after all, just another form of family, and a good one closer still, an extension of one's own body. It was the duty of the master, should a part act awry, to gently and firmly correct it.

But Kai was no servant, and Iroksa was no fool. He would be wise to remember that.

Iroksa caught Kai's wrist and rubbed their thumb over it. As the leather passed over his skin, it left behind a faint, sparkling chill that crept into his veins through the open wounds before fading as rapidly as it appeared. I know. They released him.

"Yes, I see, you're right. Just fine indeed." They smiled. "But if you were having some trouble, you would tell me, yes? We are two of a kind; I wish to support you in your troubles as I hope you would me."
