Last Legacy: Randomly Generated Scenarios
This has been sitting in my drafts folder for a very long time. Thought I'd just post it. Sorry if there are any mistakes.
MC: Good responses for being stabbed with a knife?
Felix: Rude.
Sage: That's fair.
Anisa: Not again.
Rime: Are you going to want this back?
MC: Good morning.
Felix: Good morning.
Sage: Good morning.
Anisa: You all sound like robots, try spicing it up a bit.
Rime: MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS
MC: That's it, we're gonna go out and find what we need!
Anisa: To the city?
MC: Yeah, no matter what!
Rime: Well- How exactly do you propose we do that, exactly?
MC: I…. I don't know!
Felix: Oh come off it, be serious!
MC: I am serious!
Felix: You're insane!
Sage: Why, if only we were all wiener dogs, our problems would be solved!
Everyone:
MC: What???
Sage: Or maybe it was a basset hound!
Felix, panicked: YOU'RE ALL INSANE!
MC: Nothing in life is free.
Felix: Love is free!
Sage: Adventure is free
Anisa: Knowledge is free
Rime: Everything is free if you take it without paying.
MC: We've been conducting an ongoing study to see what Sage will and will not eat.
Felix: Grass? Yes!
MC: Moss? Yes!!
Felix: Leaves? Ohh, yes!
MC: Shoelaces? Strange but true!
Felix: Worms? Sometimes!
MC: Rocks? Usually nah.
Felix: Twigs? Usually!
MC: Rime's cooking? Inconclusive!
Anisa: How did you…. test this?
MC: You just hand them stuff and say 'eat this' and if they eat it, they eat it.
Anisa: ... I don't know how to feel about this.
Rime: IS THAT WHERE ALL MY SPARE SHOELACES WENT?
MC: Bye Felix! Bye Sage! Bye Anisa! Bye Rime! Bye Felix!
Sage: You said "bye Felix' twice.
MC: I like Felix.
MC: So uhhh.. My question is: my friend keeps on going into the pantry and grabbing handfuls of fettuccine. Uncooked.
Anisa: I would hope they're not grabbing handfuls of cooked fettuccine!
Rime: In your pantry!
MC: Yeah…. and eating them raw, and they keep calling them 'chips'… … How do I make them stop?
Anisa: Is your friend here?
MC, motioning to Felix: Yeah.
Anisa, to Felix: You're a monster! Words MEAN things! >: (
Sage: Does anybody remember- I haven't been to Olive Garden in many moons- but they DO have a like- fettuccine bottle that you can just- grab em out of and chew-
Sage: HOLD ON. WAS THIS A PRANK YOU GUYS PULLED ON ME WHEN WE WENT TO OLIVE GARDEN AS KIDS?!
Sage: NO, STOP. EVERYBODY SHUT UP. DO THEY GIVE YOU RAW FETTUCCINE TO CHEW ON IN THE LOBBY OF THE OLIVE GARDEN
Everyone else: No.
Sage, to Anisa and Rime: YOU FUCKIN BASTARDS
Anisa: YAAAAAAAAY!
Rime: THE PRESTIGE!
MC: I've done a lot of dumb stuff.
Felix: I witnessed the dumb stuff.
Rime: I recorded the dumb stuff.
Sage: I joined in on the dumb stuff.
Anisa: I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THE DUMB STUFFIlI
MC: What does 'take out' mean?
Anisa: Food.
Felix: Dating
Rime: Murder
Sage: IT CAN MEAN ALL THREE IF YOU'RE NOT A COWARD.
MC: You're a loose cannon, Felix.
Felix: No, I'm not. I'm a cannon maybe, but a loose cannon? Is that what you think of me?
Sage: I think you play by your own rules.
Anisa: No way, they think rules were made to be broken.
MC: Those are all attributes of a loose cannon.
Felix: No, I'm just a reckless renegade. Rime is a loose cannon.
Rime: *smashes a chair*
MC: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your life
Felix: Self-esteem, haven't seen you in years!
Sage: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this!
Anisa: I knew I lost that potential somewhere!
Rime: My moral code, is that you?
MC:
MC: I was just gonna show you this cool trunk my mother left me but do you guys need a hug?
MC: Time for plan G.
Felix: Don't you mean plan B?
MC: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties.
Sage: What about plan D?
MC: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago.
Anisa: What about plan E?
MC: I'm hoping not to use it. Rime dies in plan E.
Tulsi: I like plan E.
*The squad is over at MC's house*
Felix: Ohhhh, we each get our own oven?
MC:.. N-No.
MC, laughing: How many ovens do you think I have???
Felix, motioning to their kitchen: Three, I thought!
Sage: I see a-
MC, motioning to one device: This is a microwave.
Felix: Oh. well I-
MC: Hey wait wait, actually- hang on- *fiddles with the buttons on the microwave*
MC, amazed: Its got a bake setting!
Anisa: Ohoho, you learn something new every day!
Rime: Do we- Do we roshambo for who gets to pick first?
MC: Now I've just discovered I have more ovens than I thought, we don't have to roshambo nothin!
MC: I am someone who owns four ovens..
MC, louder and way too happy: I am someone…. who owns FOUR OVENS.
MC: I didn't know I was so rich with ovens..
Tulsi, pointing to another appliance: Also the toaster oven!
MC:
Felix: Ohhh, toasty boy! Four- Five ovens!
MC:
MC, fucking ECSTATIC: I AM SOMEONE WHO OWNS FIVE OVENS
(If you got that reference, you’re a legend)
MC: Well, aren't you all a rag-tag group of adventurers with unclear goals and good hearts! Oh, let me guess: you're out to save the world!
Felix: Well, actually, that sounds like a pretty fair assessment.
Sage: More or less, I guess..
Anisa: That sounds awesome! Let's do that!
Rime: I'm new here, but I am open to the concept.
Tulsi: I thought that's what we were doing, guys, come on!
*Everyone is standing around the broken coffee maker*
MC: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know
Everyone:
Felix: ...I did. I broke it.
MC: No. No you didn't. Sage?
Sage: Don't look at me. Look at Anisa.
Anisa: What?! I didn't break it.
Sage: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Anisa: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Sage: Suspicious.
Anisa: No, it's not!
Rime: If it matters, probably not, but Tulsi was the last one to use it.
Tulsi: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!
Rime: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Tulsi: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Rime!
Felix: Okay let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, MC
MC: No! Who broke it!?
Everyone:
Rime: MC... Sage's been awfully quiet.
Sage: rEALLY?!
*Everyone starts arguing*
MC, being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it.
MC: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.
MC:
MC: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
*Squad reactions to being told 'I love you**
MC: Thanks fam!
Felix: oh no
Sage: *cries* I love you too
Anisa: Sounds fake but okay
Rime: *A flustered mess*
Tulsi: can i get a refund
MC: Dumbest scar stories, go!
Felix: I burned my tongue once drinking tea.
Sage: I dropped a hair dryer on my leg once and burned it.
Anisa: I have a piece of graphite in my leg for accidentally stabbing myself with a pencil in the first grade
Rime: I was taking a cup of noodles out of the microwave and spilled it on my hand and I got a really bad burn.
Tulsi:
Tulsi: I have emotional scars.
MC: Felix…… How do I begin to explain Rime?
Sage: Rime is flawless.
Anisa: I hear their hair's insured for $10,000
Felix: I hear they do car commercials… in Japan.
Tulsi: One time they punched me in the face... it was awesome.
MC: *Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat*
Felix: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I'd have 15 cents
MC: If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you
Sage: Actually I did the math, Felix would have $225, not $0.15.
Felix: Fam I'm right here..
Anisa: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)
MC: while you're there could you buy me an apply juice please?
Anisa: Sorry I only have a dollar
MC: :(
Sage: Hey I just realized my friend is right, Felix would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent
Anisa: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice
Sage: You can buy anything you want with $22,500
Rime: Yeah and they want soda and apply juice
Sage: Apply juice to what
Tulsi: Directly to the forehead
Felix: Great chat everyone
MC: Rules are made to be broken.
Felix: They were made to be followed. Nothing is made to be broken.
Sage: Uh, piñatas.
Anisa: Glow sticks.
Rime: Karate boards.
Tulsi: Spaghetti when you have a small pot.
MC: Rules.
Felix:
MC: Everytime I hear someone talking about updog, I'm torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete their joke.
Felix: Okay, but what is updog?
Sage: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, often served with ketchup, mustard, onions, and/or relish,
Anisa: Not, that's a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released.
Rime: No, that's an update. You're thinking of the fourth largest city in Sweden.
Tulsi: Surely, that's Uppsala, where's updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.
MC: That's Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs.
Anisa: You're thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.
Sage: No, that's an updraft. An updog is the modern version of a henway.
Felix: What's a henway??
MC: Oh, about five pounds.
MC: We need to distract these guys
Felix: Leave it to me
Felix: Centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. Discuss.
Sage, Anisa, and Rime: *Immediately begin arguing*
Tulsi, watching in horror: Oh this. I don't like this. I don't like this at all.
MC, walking into their house: Hello, people who do not live here.
Felix: Hey.
Sage: Hi.
Anisa: Hello.
Rime: Hey!
MC: I gave you the key to my place for emergencies only!
Tulsi: We were out of Doritos.
MC: Hewwo.
Felix: Hihiiiiii!
Tulsi: Greetings, Humans
Rime: Three kinds of people
Anisa: I want pudding.
MC: Four kinds of people.
Sage: WHAT'S UP FUCKERS?
Rime: Five kinds of people.
MC: If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it's venomous.
Felix: What if it bites me and it dies!?
Sage: Then you're poisonous. Jesus Christ, Felix, learn to listen.
Anisa: What if it bites itself and I die?
Rime: That's voodoo.
Tulsi: What if it bites me and someone else dies?
Felix: That's correlation, not causation.
Anisa: What if we bite each other, and neither of us die?
Rime: That's kinky.
MC: Oh my God.
MC: Just be yourself.
Felix: 'Be myself'? MC, I have one day to win Sage over. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?
Anisa: Couple weeks.
Rime: Six months.
Tulsi: Jury's still out.
Felix: See, MC?
Felix: 'Be myself'. What kind of garbage advice is that?
Sage: Why are MC and Felix sitting with their backs to each other?
Anisa: They had a fight.
Sage: Then why are they holding hands?
Anisa: They get sad when they fight.
MC: You lying, cheating, piece of shit!
Felix: Oh yeah? You're the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
MC: I'm leaving you, and I'M TAKING SAGE WITH ME
Anisa, picking up the monopoly board: I think we're gonna stop playing now.
MC: You know those things will kill you, right?
Felix, pouring another glass of whiskey: That's the point.
Sage, smoking a cigarette: We're trying to speed up the process.
Anisa: *Nods while eating raw cookie dough*
Saaros: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you're all invited
Anisa: If?
MC: Great, the only party I've ever been invited to and they might not even die.
Saaros: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life
Anisa: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind?
Saaros: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die.
MC: edible
Saaros: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Anisa?
Anisa: ... No.
MC: I do!
Saaros: I know, MC.
MC: I'm sad!
Saaros: I know, MC.
Saaros: I'm kind of crushing on someone, but I'm worried about telling you who it is, because you're not going to like it
Anisa: Just rip the bandage off.
Saaros: It's MC
Anisa: Put the bandage back on.
Saaros, in a high voice, holding barbie: hey ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career!
Anisa, in a deep voice, holding ken: nonsense, barbie. you're staying home and having my kids
MC: what the fuck are you guys doing?
Saaros: playing systemic oppression.
Saaros: So, what, now I'm just supposed to do anything that Anisa does? I mean, what if they jumped off a cliff?
MC: If Anisa were to jump off a cliff, they would've done their due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry, so yes. If you see Anisa jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff.
Saaros: You jump off a cliff!
MC: Gladly. Provided Anisa did first.
Saaros: In your opinion, what's the height of stupidity?
Anisa: *turning to MC* How tall are you?
*Saaros and Anisa sitting in jail together*
Anisa: So who should we call?
Saaros: I'd call MC, but I feel safer in jail.
Saaros: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
Anisa: Wasn't MC with you?
MC: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.
Saaros: Naturally, we are on the cutting edge of technology.
Anisa, amazed: Wow.
MC, to Anisa: Well what does that mean?
Anisa: I don't know.
Anisa, to Saaros: What does that mean?
Saaros: There are seven chairs and ten kids. What do you do?
Anisa: Have everyone stand.
MC: Bring three more chairs!
Sage: The most important ones can sit down.
Felix: Kill three.
Saaros: We need more help. Maybe I should call my friends
Anisa: ... Your what?
Saaros: My friends.
MC: Are they saying "friends"?
Sage: I think they're being sarcastic.
Felix: No, no, no, this is delirium, they've cracked from being awake all night. Hey, Saaros! All of your friends are in this room.
Saaros: I have other friends! You asked me to make new friends, I made new friends! It was a task. I complete
tasks.
Saaros: You kidnapped Anisa? That's illegal!
MC: But Saaros, what's more illegal? Briefly inconveniencing Anisa, or destroying our dreams?
Saaros: Kidnapping Anisa, MC!!!
Sage: Saaros, listen, whatever I may think of you right now- these guys are counting on you to inspire them!
Saaros: What, to kidnap people?!?!
Sage: To work toqether!
Saaros: TO KIDNAP PEOPLE?!?!?!?!
Felix: Saaros, we all agreed a celebrity is a not a people.
Tulsi: Look. I may not be a saint, but it's not like I've killed anybody. I'm not an arsonist. I've never found a wallet outside of an IHOP and thought about returning it but saw the owner lived out of state so just took the cash and dropped the wallet back on the ground.
Sage: Okay, that's really specific, and that makes me think that you definitely did do that.
Tulsi: Hey Sage can I get a sip of your water?
Sage: It's not water.
Tulsi: Vodka, I like your style!
Sage: It's vinegar.
Tulsi: Wh-Wha-
Sage: It's vinegar, COWARD.
Tulsi: I slept for almost 12 hours but I might still be tired so lets go for 12 more just incase.
Sage: Tulsi, that's a coma.
Tulsi: Sounds festive.
Tulsi: You kill people for money?!
Sage: I can explain!
Tulsi: And all this time I've been doing it for free like a chump!
Tulsi: Do you think you'd actually notice if someone didn't cast a shadow? Or if their limbs were just slightly too long? Or if they had just a little too many teeth? like how many times have you passed Something on the street and you just didn't Notice It?
Sage: Stay woke monsterfuckers ur love is out there!!!!!
Tulsi: Yknow what? Not my point at all in any way whatsoever, but I'm glad I could be an inspiration.
Tulsi: Treat spiders the way you want to be treated.
Sage: Killed without hesitation.
Tulsi: No.
Tulsi: That's one of my biggest fears. Like, if I ever woke up as a donut.
Sage: You would eat yourself?
Tulsi: I wouldn't even question it.
Felix, tending to Rime's wounds: How would you rate your pain?
Rime: Zero stars. Would NOT recommend.
Felix: Hey, it's your turn to wash dishes
Rime: I'LL WASH THE WALLS RED WITH YOUR BLOOD
Felix: 'Kay, but before that, wash the dishes, also use soap this time?
Felix: This is a mistake
Rime, enthusiastically: A mistake we're going to laugh about one day!
Felix: But not today
Rime, still enthusiastic: Oh, no. Today's going to be a mess.
Felix: Is something burning?
Rime: Just my love for you.
Felix: Rime, the toaster is on fire.
Felix: Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing. Everything is going to be fine!
Rime: How can you still say that?
Felix: Because sometimes, when things get tough, denial is all we have.
Felix: What the fuck is wrong with you?!
Rime: Wow, you could start with a 'good morning'.
Felix: Good morning. What the fuck is wrong with you?!
Felix: Must be hard not being able to laugh
Rime: I do have a sense of humor you know
Felix: I've never heard you laugh before
Rime: I've never heard you say anything funny
Felix: So that's my plan.
Rime: Are you alright with constructive criticism? I don't want to sound mean.
Felix: No, go ahead, I want to hear it.
Rime: It fucking sucks.
Felix: That's not constructive criticism.
Felix: Is letting someone win at chess sapiosexual bottoming
Rime: Does anyone in this godforsaken group ever think before they speak
Rime: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died-
Felix: Twelve, actually.
Rime: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that?
Felix: Yours!
Rime: That's right: no one's.
Felix: You saved me. I owe you my life.
Rime: No thanks. I've seen it and I'm not very impressed.
Felix, struggling to keep upright in their 1 inch heels: Yeah, I-I don't really think heels are for me
Rime, pointing at them and walking flawlessly in sparkly golden 6 inch heels: WEAK.
Felix: God, give me patience.
Rime: I think you mean 'give me strength'.
Felix: If God gave me strength, you'd be dead.
Felix: Rime, stop! This isn't you, you've gone mad with power!
Rime: Well of course I have.
Rime: Have you ever tried going mad without power?
Rime: It's boring.

LegacyTober Day 2: Fall
Yes I know Day 2 is supposed to be MC but since my MC's birthday is on Halloween, I figured I'd save it for then. So we're gonna sub it out for what everyone likes about Fall!
Felix loves the aesthetic. Leaves falling to the ground and leaving gnarled branches clawing at the sky is just. so aesthetic. His taxidermy barn owl and raven get special attention this time of year. He likes to stay inside but he'll do his work with the window open.
Anisa loves the different treats that come out this kind of year! She'll grab your hand and drag you into the marketplace where it's pumpkin spice for days. Always gets extra cinnamon. Wears a scarf. If you're cold then she'll give it to you, but you could probably wrap it around you both if you stay close together.
Sage wants to crunch the leaves! It's a pain in the ass to rake them all together but it's worth it. He'll spend a solid hour just rolling around and making everything crunch. Will pull you into it too. May fall asleep if the sun is hitting you. He also loves warm apple cider. May go with Anisa to the market for fall snacks.
Rime likes to melodramatically wander around in a black chiffon robe and monologue about death. At first you think it's some kind of coping thing?? And maybe it is, in part. But for the most part he just likes being dramatic. If you earnestly start comforting him he'll get flustered and tell you to knock it off, but he'll be smiling.
Elowen also likes leaves! She'll bring you on walks and say that it's too admire the countryside but really it's so she can (discreetly, so as not to ruin her reputation of a super badass femme fatale) stomp on as many leaves as possible.
Tulsi likes getting to dress in warm clothes! Big floppy sweaters where she can use the sleeves to smack people, lazy day sweatpants, scarves, etc. Obviously she can't wear them in the forge but when she goes out, she's dressed for the season.

Hello! I love your stories about last legacy, and I take advantage of the fact that the requests are open I want to give one, basically some platonic headcanons of sage and tulsi with a reader who took care of them as children and was like their mother / father figure during their youth, thanks in advance and thanks!
I'M SORRYYYY I'm so sorry this took so long but I loved the req sm I def went a little overboard with it... I hope at least it is worth the wait!! Also big thanks to Zeke again for beta reading and helping brainstorm stuff <33
Also I've written the reader to be a baker bc Sage did mention in ch2 that the street bakers were some of few people who looked upon him and the other kids with a little kindness and I thought it was v sweet
m.list
i.
'Wharf rats,' the people had called them: a group of homeless kids who made a home out of Porrima's docks, and every day they would venture deeper into the city to hunt for food and pickpocket for a living. You've been here long enough to notice when one of them bumps into a shopper, stubby yet nimble little fingers passing over their pockets in search of coin, all while the person remains none the wiser.
You also notice when they swipe a warm loaf of bread or fresh fruit from the stalls lining the shopping district, and you've never tried to stop them when they came for yours. It'd be a shame to throw away what remains of pastries and cake after you close for the night anyway, and while you'd be more than happy to offer the kids the excess yourself, there are one too many stingy customers who complain about having to pay for your goods while the kids get them for free.
Also, it's terribly adorable when a proud, satisfied smile draws over their little faces once they get their hands on a baked treat without getting noticed. You notice though; it's your fun little secret.
This one boy, however, has always seemed particularly ambitious, swiping three or more slices of whatever rather than one or two at a time. You've wondered if you should do something about it, but greed came to kick him in the ass before you could make up your mind. Unlike you, and a few other kind vendors, people do not take too kindly to petty thievery, and a misstep from that little kid leaves him curled on the ground, arms hugging the bruises blooming over his ribs.
He hisses and scratches and bites as you pull him over behind your stall. There's a bucket of water, some bandages, and a salve (meant for burns from the oven, but it's not like you've got much else to work with; this is a bakery not an apothecary), all of which you lay out before him so he knows you only mean well. Slowly his shaking subsides and he pulls the worn out rag hanging off the bucket's rim, dips it in the water, then wipes at his face and cleans out the blood from where the sharp tip of a boot had split his skin open. In the meantime, you rush to a stall that sells fish closer to the docks, and borrow a bucket of ice that you can empty into a cotton bag to press against his bruises.
You half-expect the boy to have already left when you come back, but he's right where you left him, staring wide-eyed at the racks upon racks of fluffy loaves and intricately-carved pastries. That's when you get the idea—you grab a fish-shaped pastry filled with spicy curry (it's always been his favorite, you've noticed) and offer it to the boy. He scowls at your outstretched hand, but you can clearly see the internal battle through his amber eyes. Eventually he succumbs and grabs the pastry, wolfing it down and almost choking twice. Only then does he let you get closer, but his careful gaze never leaves your hands as you place an ice-pack over a particularly nasty bruise.
You offer him another pastry, then another, and then you ask his name. "M'Thage," he manages to say between bites, crumbs flying all over the place. At some point Sage stops eating and looks over the tray of goods you put before him, seemingly guilty, then pockets a few (avoiding all deer-shaped ones) and scurries away. At least he has the decency to yell out a 'thank you!' over his shoulder as he disappears into an alley.
ii.
You think the persistent banging at your door is a customer who missed the very obvious 'CLOSED' sign outside (a far too frequent occurrence ever since you moved business indoors for the winter), but it's Sage, trembling under the weight of a small body draped over his back. Two fluffy, bunny-like ears droop over either side of her head, and snow coats her black, messy hair in a fine layer of white.
"She's sick. I don't—I don't know what to do." This is the first time Sage has spoken to you since that one time you helped him after he got kicked to a pulp in the shopping district. "Please, help her."
Though he pleads for your help, he's still too reluctant to let the little girl go, so you lead him inside where he can lay her over the carpet right by the fireplace. You decide not to say anything about the trail of wet, muddy footprints he leaves on the floors.
You pull your warmest blanket from where it was folded at the top shelf of the closet, along with two towels; one you hand to Sage and the other you dry the little girl's hair with. Her pulse is slow and her fingertips are so cold they could freeze and fall off, but her face radiates heat that rivals that of the hearth.
"Is she gonna be okay?" Sage's eyes are blown wide with fear, and he looks at you like you're the one person in Astraea who can save her. You're no doctor, but in the face of his fragile hope you can't help but smile reassuringly and pat his head. "Don't worry; she'll be alright."
You show Sage how to keep dipping a washcloth in cold water, wring it until it's no longer dripping wet ('and not too dry either,' you have to remind him when he squeezes it with all his might), then place it over her forehead, rinse and repeat—keeping him busy while you mop the muddy footprints off the floor, then prepare dinner for the three of you.
For a while, all is quiet in your house save for the fire crackling in the other room, and the soft scraping of metal against metal as you stir the savory stew bubbling before you. It feels peaceful, even as the howling winds rattle the windows, until Sage's voice rises above the storm and breaks the silence, "Tulsi! Tulsi!"
Rushing to the bedroom—stew long forgotten on the stove—you find the girl has finally woken up, delirious eyes shifting around the room until they focus on her brother, then you. You look to Sage before you carry his sister to your bed, and prop her up against the pillow. Back in the kitchen, you ladle some stew into two bowls, one you hand to Sage and the other you slowly spoon-feed to Tulsi.
With every sip she seems to regain more of her strength, until you can barely fit a spoonful of food into her mouth between all her rambling—about how good the food is, how warm your house is, how lovely your hair is, how rambunctious her brother is, so on and so forth.
So this is to whom all those extra pastries went, you realize absentmindedly.
"Say 'thank you,' Sage!" Tulsi folds her arms, trying to glare at her brother, but it's hard to feel threatened by these sweet oxen-eyes. Still, Sage relents and thanks you with a huff, before frowning at his empty bowl.
"Would you like seconds?"
"Yes!" he answers a little too quickly, and blushes when Tulsi giggles. You refill everyone's bowls, and add a third one for yourself. It isn't long before Sage is frowning again, and you think you know what pulls his eyebrows into such a worried furrow this time, so you try to put his mind at ease—
"You can stay for the night. Maybe the storm will calm tomorrow, then we'll call for a doctor."
"Don't got doctor money," Sage grumbles.
"I do."
He begins to protest, but a glance at a very sleepy Tulsi renders him voiceless even as his lips try to form the words.
"You don't owe me. Not now, not ever."
Slowly, Sage starts to relax, until his little shoulders slump like a heavy burden had fallen off of them.
Later that night, you try to make quick work of cleaning the kitchen until your attention is drawn away by a tug at your apron. You look down to find Sage, and he fixes you with a sharp gaze that looks out of place on such a young face. "I've got to go. You take good care of Tulsi."
It's a little endearing how he reminds you of a mother cat, leaving her kittens with a nice human because she decided she trusts them. However, Sage is but a child himself, and the storm rages on outside with no sign of stopping anytime before sunrise. "In this weather? Where to?"
Before he could answer, Tulsi emerges from the bedroom, wide eyes brimming with tears, "You're leaving?"
"I've got to find Balsam," he tries to sound firm, but it seems any conviction Sage might've had withers before Tulsi's gaze, the latter only looking more frazzled by the second.
"Take me with you! I want to see if Balsam is okay too! I don't wanna stay here alone!"
"We can look for him tomorrow, and you can tell him you had to stay with Tulsi. He knows you went to find help, no?" You reassure Sage, who nods, then you turn to Tulsi, "This isn't his first winter here, is it? Your friend must've found a place to hide. I'm sure he'll be fine."
Or at least you hope so. You have to believe it for their sake.
After reminding Sage to leave his shoes at the front door, you tuck the siblings into your bed, wish them goodnight, then head for the couch with a spare blanket and pillow. Hours later, sleep still refuses to grace your heavy eyelids, not because the couch is uncomfortable, but you can't stop thinking about Sage and Tulsi, their friend, and how many other kids are out on these streets, weathering the raging storm all on their own. How many aren't going to make it through the night, and who will remember them?
The doctor who answers your call next morning prescribes some medicine for Tulsi before reassuring you that she'll be just fine. You look over her frail body lying in your bed, clinging to Sage to leech at his warmth, and your heart aches at the thought of sending them back to the unforgiving cold, so you fix a warm breakfast of assorted pastries and tea for the three of you. In the afternoon you run a warm bath for Tulsi and only go in when she asks for help with her hair, then in the evening you make dinner for the four of you after Sage brings Balsam in. Later that night, Tulsi sleeps in your bed again.
And that's the story of how you accidentally adopted one (two? three?) little wharf rat(s).
Tulsi lives with you now. You read her bedtime stories every night, even after she learns to read them herself. You find out she has a knack for historical fiction, so that's what fills your bookshelves (which Sage refuses to touch—'I've heard better stories from the sailors by the docks,' he'd gloat). As the days pass, Tulsi becomes more comfortable sleeping without Sage watching over her. One night she slips out of bed and curls up next to you on the couch, so you carry her back to your bed where you sleep side by side.
Sage, on the other hand, comes and goes as he pleases. Some nights he sleeps huddled with all the other kids by the docks; other nights he crawls in through the bedroom window to make sure Tulsi's sleeping well. Sometimes he'll stay over for dinner after bringing you a large bucket of fish he proudly claims he caught by himself (if you couldn't tell by the stench of fish and rotten seaweed clinging to his clothes—he fights tooth and nail before he succumbs to a bath), and sometimes he'll stay well past dinner, so you teach him how you make the fish pastries he loves so much.
Every so often he hands his sister a meager allowance though she very much does not need it now that she lives with you, and he refuses to tell you how he makes the money. You're starting to worry that pick-pocketing isn't his only source of income, if the scars and bruises are anything to go by, and every time you try to express your concern he snaps that you're not his parent and it's none of your business. He's right, of course, yet you find your heart hurting when he says it.
You think it's pride that keeps this little boy from settling down with you and Tulsi, but really, Sage has learned early on that you can never rely on someone for too long. Should the rug be pulled from under their feet—should you decide you no longer want them in your house—he'll always be ready to catch Tulsi before she takes the fall.
iii.
Try as you might, this wood bends to neither your will nor your hands, the latter now covered in splinters. The blacksmith from next door raps his knuckles against your windowsill to wish you a good morning, and when you invite him in for tea and scones, you pray he knows his way with wood just as he does with metal.
After coming back with some tools from his shop, your neighbor sets to work, putting together a new bed for Tulsi, who watches him with awe. You don't think you've seen her blink at all. One too many times you've had to pull the hammer from her little fist before she could hurt herself.
Eventually, the blacksmith shuffles on his knees to make space for Tulsi, and wraps his fist over hers as they tap a nail into place with the hammer together.
"Look at you! You're a natural!" he exclaims, and Tulsi beams. "How'd you like being an apprentice at the smithy? Maybe once you get a lil' taller... These bones are too old to keep hammering at swords for much longer anyway."
"You talk like you've got one foot in the grave," you tut at him. "And how do you know she doesn't want to be my apprentice? I've been teaching her how to separate the egg whites from the yolk, you know, and she's taking to it very quickly!"
That's a lie... mostly. Tulsi's only successful dish so far has been grilled cheese; even Sage has better luck in the kitchen.
"You're just mad she doesn't like waiting for things to bake in the oven. I tell you kid, you're gonna love working the forge."
Tulsi pays no mind to your banter, still starry-eyed ever since your neighbor complimented her hammer skills.
Sure enough, she becomes the blacksmith's apprentice only a year later, much to your dismay; you end up paying for his drinks for the next month now that you've lost the bet. At least you know it's worth it when every night she comes back from work beaming brighter than a firefly on a summer night despite the soot covering her face. You've bought a new towel that you hang on a chair in the kitchen so Tulsi can clean up her face first thing when she's back home. You still have to do it for her since she always forgets to do it herself.
She gifts the first sword she makes under the blacksmith's mentorship to Sage, and the first dagger to you, and the second one to Balsam.
You swear time runs by too fast; next thing you know, you're celebrating the opening of Tulsi's very own smithy. It hasn't been a day since she declared being open for business but long lines are already forming at her door.
"She did build up quite the reputation as an apprentice," your heart swells with pride every time you repeat the story to one of your fellow vendors, killing time with small talk before the streets fill with shoppers. "Now she's the youngest blacksmith of Porrima, and one of its best, if not the best."
Though Tulsi had moved out, and crowds of mercenaries and knights keep her busy all day, she'll always make time to visit you in the evening, and you'll prepare the oolong tea she loves while you catch up. She still wears the headband you gave her years ago to keep her hair out of her face; far too often had she come back from your neighbor's workshop with burnt tips. The towel you used to wipe her face with still hangs off of the same chair in the kitchen.
"Do I have to move in with you just to remind you to get that grease off of your face?" you huff as she laughs. Perhaps some things are never meant to change.
Meanwhile, Sage doubles up in height seemingly overnight and his body has yet to catch up, so he looks more like a lanky, awkward dandelion stalk struggling to readjust to his new sword (also made by Tulsi, though this one was hammered into shape over her very own anvil). You take him out for his first drink at the tavern to celebrate his birthday; it feels like it was just yesterday he was a mangy little kitten sneaking in and out of your shop.
You try to nudge Tulsi towards getting outside her workshop a little more often, make some friends, but she insists she prefers the heat of the forge, unless Sage drags her out for an impromptu fishing and grilling trip with Balsam or another drink at the tavern. She always complains to you about how, more often than not, he's just trying to send her off on a blind date she didn't ask for.
Sage, on the other hand, seems to have grown into quite the party animal. He disappears for longer amounts of time, comes back looking more beat up than before (yet his grin never leaves his face), crashes on your floor (or Tulsi's couch) blackout-drunk more often, and speaks of a certain Lucan like he's the best thing to exist ever since fish-shaped pastries were invented.
"They're good people," he tells you about Lucan and the Griefers. "You don't have to worry so much."
iv.
You think the persistent banging at your door is a customer who missed the very obvious 'CLOSED' sign outside (a somewhat frequent occurrence ever since you moved business indoors after the Lord of Shadows' undead soldiers infiltrated the city), but it's Tulsi, shaking like a leaf in a storm though the skies are clear tonight. You don't remember the last time you've seen her crying, let alone wailing so desperately.
"Sage, he's gone." She shows you a broken, bloodied sword—Zenith, the magical Relic that chose Sage upon joining the Starsworn. You distantly remember how smug he looked the day he was chosen, because apparently it pissed off some guy called Rime.
You gently pull the sword away from her trembling hands and put it aside, before holding her firmly by the shoulders. "What do you mean he's gone?"
"He came to my place and he— and he— oh, he looked terrible," Tulsi hiccups into the crook of her elbow. "There was so much blood and a big wound in his chest! And he— he dropped this," she sniffles, and points at the sword, "then he disappeared. I looked for him everywhere."
You can clearly tell she ran around the town at least twice by the way her windswept hair stands every which way and her legs shake from the strain. Every morbid possibility runs through your mind all at once; you've heard this story before—people who disappear for a while before coming back and quietly blending back in with the crowds, seemingly unharmed; a miracle, they called it. It isn't too long before they start maiming people left and right; these are the undead soldiers of the evil necromancer—innocent civilians killed at his hands then brought back to do his bidding.
Fear swells in your heart until it tries to break out of your chest but fuck, someone has got to keep it together, so you hold Tulsi tightly and run your hand through her unruly hair until she can catch her breath. "He'll be fine. Sage always bounces back; you said it yourself!"
"This time... I don't know."
The best gossip and juiciest rumors are found amongst the vendors still populating the shopping district, going out to sell their wares despite the approaching war. That's where you start looking, and that's where you first hear it: whispers about the Griefers hunting down the traitor who killed their leader in cold blood. Those who were once beacons of safety in Porrima, holding down the fort when the knights got too busy with war efforts, are now more like rabid dogs terrorizing the streets in the name of the Lord of Shadows. Sage is nowhere amongst their ranks—that's what Balsam says when he finds you before you could find him.
He'd accosted Tulsi like a raging boar just as she was leaving your place, eyes bloodshot and hair clinging to his face with sweat, looking nothing like the loud but sweet boy you'd always see following Sage around town. There's a mild tremor in his hands as he digs his fingers into Tulsi's arms, and it takes her breaking down into tears for Balsam to believe that you're not secretly hiding Sage nor do you know where he ran off to; she swears up and down that Sage didn't tell her anything about what happened before he left Zenith.
All falls silent when Balsam lets you know Sage is indeed the traitor they've been hunting down. As if it's any consolation, he reassures you that he won't let the other Griefers come after you, and spares Tulsi one last apologetic glance before disappearing into the night.
You've assumed Sage would leave the Griefers once he joined the Starsworn, conflict of interest and all, but to straight up kill their leader in cold blood? Perhaps Sage has a shady past; perhaps he'd done unsavory things he wouldn't dare speak of, but you've always known, deep down, he's a good kid. He's your kid. Everything he does, he does to protect the people he loves. In what realm of possibility could he kill the one man he practically idolized?
You and Tulsi stand there in silence; for how long, you do not know. A cold breeze sends a shiver down your spine before you remember to shut the door Balsam left open. A thousand unspoken questions weigh down the air between you, but as you meet Tulsi's eyes, you realize one thing's for sure, there has to be a good explanation.
Only Sage can provide that explanation... or perhaps the people he pledged loyalty to. You turn to the Starsworn, who had declared they are marching to Mournfall for the final showdown against the Lord of Shadows. Sage is nowhere amongst their ranks—that's what Anisa confirms cold and curt before marching off, her grip painfully tight on her sword's hilt.
Once upon a time you'd hoped joining the Starsworn would straighten Sage out, or at least encourage him to spend less time getting into pointless fights and passing out drunk in the sewers. Now he's accused of murdering the one man whose praises Sage sang at every chance, considered a traitor by both parties he once claimed loyalty to, and is nowhere to be found—dead or on the run, nobody knows.
What games have you been playing, Sage? What did you get yourself into? You silently call out to the stars as you walk the line between sea and shore, but no one answers. You go out to the beach more often these days, especially after the sun sets and night drapes the city in a dark speckled blanket. Sage loved hanging around here at this time. In a rare, quiet moment of vulnerability, he once confessed to you how the loneliness of an abandoned beach always brought him peace whenever the world became too overwhelming. There's no worries here, only himself, the relentless crashing waves, and the moon and stars above
You find yourself hoping that in this time of turmoil, the beach will draw Sage back in again, and you'll catch a glimpse of him laid out on the sand for a moment's peace before he runs off again. Every time your excursion lets you down, you soothe yourself with the thought that maybe he's watching over you from where you can't see him. 'I'm staying away to protect you,' you can imagine Sage saying. You can't wait to find him so you can give his ear one big painful tug and a piece of your mind.
Tulsi always complains about how you shouldn't go out alone in the dark, let alone as far as the beach—your search is futile and it's not worth risking your life over. As far as she's concerned, her brother has already died. She says it's fine, really, she's getting over it, but she almost never parts with the forge, throwing herself into her work and visiting you less often.
You still bake the fish-shaped pastries Sage so loved; you count how many you've made in the morning, and you keep count of how many you sell throughout the day. You still wait for the day one or two pastries will go missing, maybe three or more if a certain mangy cat is feeling particularly greedy.

We know Sage and Balsam sailed together from Althtal to Porrima, and we know Sage found Tulsi on the docks of Porrima and eventually became family, so what are your thoughts on Balsam and Tulsi (+the overall trio) family dynamic 👀
Famliy Dynamic!
Good question! Something I've been looking forward to talk about too lmao
Though I personally don't think Sage and Balsam knew each other as kids when they sailed in to Porrima, Instead they met each other when Lucan introduces Sage as the new member and just coincidentally finds out that Balsam was also previously from Althtal, also that Balsam initially didn't think letting Sage in to the Griefers was a good idea but Lucan managed to convince him.
Sage and Balsam's similar journey to Porrima is probably what got them to talk some more other than Sage just following Lucan and eventually Balsam would meet Tulsi :D
Balsam is just another big brother for Tulsi! In my last ask I've mentioned how he's a blacksmith, with that said he taught Tulsi how to be a blacksmith herself so that she has a way to earn some money (took her as his apprentice maybe)
Speaking of Tulsi, they kept in contact even after the Griefers disbanded (?), Balsam thought he'd find Sage with her but of course not, nonetheless they keep in touch and they regularly check on each other often, Balsam is also Tulsi's go-to guy for specific goods because he's also in trade of other stuff than just weapons
(Now imagine Tulsi coming to Balsam's house only to find him dead)
Ok now with Sage, once again, Balsam is an older brother, he's probably the one to taught him how to properly do a good punch
Sage has a habit of dropping into Balsam's house unannounced and breaks in regularly, mostly to spend the night because he's too drunk or something lol
Balsam has thought about asking Tulsi to join the Griefers but Sage didn't want to involve her in the group

MC Petting The Ilephtas, Part One: The Fluffies
I miss having something soft and warm to pet, so I'm making this to compensate. And I also need to separate this post or else I'm never gonna finish this
GN Reader, I debated putting Anisa on here since she's half-Ilephta but I'm not sure if she would get the reaction I'm going for lol, you're dating them in the different scenarios because yes, I miss them and I want them to come home from the war, they gonna be somft......because I said so
🐱Sage Lesath🐱
He's a big physical touch guy, we all know that. He's constantly rubbing himself against you, scent marking you, smelling your own unique and lovely scent, seeing how red you can get when he inconspicuously squeezes your ass lol
And we know it's canon he likes getting his ears rubbed so
*grabby hands* gib me kibby ears
You know that special way he likes it, cupping his ears in your hands while your fingers rub against the thin skin, feeling the heat of his blood rushing through as you massage them. His eyes flutter closed and he lets out a long purr as you sit in his lap, his hands cradling your hips
He especially loves it after long days of hunting down bounties and hitting the taverns and whatnot
I think.......if you pet him before he goes to sleep he'll sleep better and I don't think this poor man has a good sleep schedule
KISS 👏 THE 👏 TOP 👏 OF 👏 HE 👏 HEAD 👏
Mess around with his hair! It helps him calm down! Just don't hit a tangle or he'll bite you. Nom nom
Do you think Ilephta hair is sort of a different quality than normal human hair? Like, I don't know, is it softer than human hair naturally? I'm gonna say yes because I can
You joke that you'd sleep better if you had a pillow stuffed with Sage's hair. He laughs but you notice him trying to push his braid behind his back
Normally touching his tail is a sign of smexy times for him but when he turns around with a smirk and wiggling eyebrows and he sees you innocently twirling around his tail fur he feels guilty
Overall 9/10, wonderful petting experience until he bites you
🐯Lucan de Bhaldraithe 🐯
I looked it up specifically for this and tigers can't purr, but you know if he could he'd be like a fucking lawnmower
He likes it best when you massage his scalp! After a long day he plops his head in your lap and you work your magic fingers on him and he's in heaven
His ears are so fluffy omg. I think they're a little less sensitive than Sage's so you can mess around with them a little more
Run your fingers through his hair...........please 🥺
His hair is so soft, it's a little sad he doesn't have long hair cuz you would have a free blanket
Also please rub his back. I headcanon he has back pain from carrying those fat badonkadonks because the human spine is an architectural nightmare so give him a massage. Rub his back as he tells you about his day. His tail will wag happily
Speaking of his tail he's constantly having it touch you. Wrapped around your leg, your waist, your wrist, your arm, even just letting the fluffy bit tickle your back
Actually I don't think tigers have a fluffy bit on their tail but...I don't care he's gonna be a fluffy boi
His hair is like, a little more smooth than soft if you rub it in the right direction. Like velvet, with a little more poof. I read that a tiger's fur gets more coarse as they get older but Lucan isn't that old
He be just..........babie
🗡️Elowen de Bhaldraithe🗡️
Look, she has a reputation to uphold. If you're out in public and you try to pet her, she will put on her unbreakable poker face
But at home? Hoo boy
Is she a mountain lion? I don't know but I'm saying yes because they can purr and I think that's adorable
She doesn't have as loud of a purr as Sage does, but it's nice and soft. Good to listen to as you fall asleep
BRAID HER HAIR! It reminds her of Lucan when they were young, when he would always mess with her hair as he tells her about every single little detail of his day. It's useful for work too :3
Her tail........it looks soft and sleek, and it is, but it's also pretty strong. Not prehensile, but she can pick up certain items that might seem too heavy
She likes shoulder rubs! It's canon now! Massage her shoulders after a long day and she'll melt into you
She's not a big snuggler but if you're having a bad day she'll offer her head for you to pet and mess with
I also think she tends to bite if you snag your fingers or your comb on a tangle, or growl at you at least but she doesn't really mean it
Or does she.........?
I love her, my wifey. I'm married to (almost) everyone in LL lol
🐇Tulsi Ain🐇
She knows people want to pet her, but when she was younger she probably had some experiences with people petting her, then swiping something of hers while she was distracted, so she might not always be up to being pet
But she'll make a special exception for you. She trusts you :3
The fur on her ears isn't super long but it can get tangled sometimes. Gently comb her hair after she wakes up. She likes it, but she might fall back asleep lol
Does she have a little bunny tail? I hope she has a bunny tail. Little wiggle wiggle
She gets embarrassed if you pat it. But please do. Do us all a service
ALSO👏 KISS👏 THE👏 TOP👏 OF👏 SHE👏 HEAD👏
I think she prefers full body cuddles as opposed to rubs on individual parts, but she won't complain if you decide to do that
But her hands.........hold them........kiss them..........cherish them................
Bumby wife🥺

(after Rime stabbed Sage)
Tulsi: Did you know that it only takes two pounds of pressure to drive someone's nose bone into their brain?
Sage: That's- What?
Tulsi: Two pounds. That's it, Sage!
Sage, sort of laughing: Why are you telling me this?
Tulsi, growling: REVENGE.

COLLAGE AU YEET:
Felix- literature major. People call him lame for it but he loves to slander Edgar Alan Poe and make fun of old literature. Thinks of Bazarov as his favorite asshole. Actually gained him a skill to analyze ppl bc he analyzed too many characters from literature. Now sits at cafes, romantisizes his life and judges ppl with Elowen.
Anisa- criminology OR law major. She used to want to become a cop. But eh, she decided her passion was to look into murder cases. So the best she could do would be to choose one of those degrees. No one knew why she learned the specific blood patterns to look for in a crime scene, nor why she listened to court murder cases podcasts but what she leaned for fun became her lectures. Also watched the Jonny Depp/ Amber Herd case with popcorn and laughed her ass off.
Sage - idk had an engineering class but kinda not liked it and had to provide for his sister first so dropped out. They were in a hard situation but maybe with the help of his friends can pick up a major that's less stressful. Thanks Lucan and Balsam a world bc they helped him out with Tulsi, also Anisa and Felix for helping him out financially.
Elowen- something in me says a social science. Psychology, possibly. Big brain lady. She decided that if she cannot get therapy she will major in it instead. She is a smart woman who likes to observe ppls behaviors tho. So probably sits down and judges ppl with Felix. Nothing serious just two emos bonding
Rime- Medical major. I believe he'd get into pharmacy. Bc he whips up some good potions and also he is good with medicine!! Pro at chemistry, he actually learned shit for fun. He has some rare substances in his home lab...but shhh. Honestly I think he actually had knowledge about medicine uses before, just so he could keep his buddies alive.
Tulsi- mechanical engineering!! She likes it :)) She makes robots for Lucan to code and give the stupidest names to. This is their bonding time. Also has a brotherly relationship with him, they both take care of Sage together.
Lucan- seems like a smart guy who will purposefully code a robot for no purpose and only for shits and giggles. Un-corrupt self probably would like the idea of Baymax. Is besites with Sage and Tulsi, actually tutored tulsi for a while when Sage had to work and find a way to earn money.
Saaros- International relationships and politics. Has already done their internships. Additionally has taken chemistry courses (in story they also know alchemy so) They are a beast. Also has Azimuth who majors in astronomy. They actually lead on a vary formal yet friendly relationship.
Florian- biology professor everyone is willing to kill for. Has a plant named Bob in his office, gifted by his students.
Ayanna- literally an engineer. She just vibes by herself and does her own projects.
Escell- that one mf physics teacher everyone hates. Tired all the time. Fuck you.

and,,,,, modern au biker sage,,,,the griefers are a biker gang,,,,Lucan in leather,,,,,,
-dumb bitch anon
my, this one's so old it still has your old tag on it. i'm sorry i haven't gotten to it in time, but on the bright side, ozzy's biker sage x mc hc are super cute! i can't imagine adding anything else to it, so here's a somewhat related hc of mine
If you introduce Sage to cars in the modern world he'd absolutely love riding shotgun and sticking his head out the window, let the wind blow at his hair and ears, need for speed and all that. I've mentioned this before but I like the idea that little Balsam, Tulsi, and Sage used to steal empty carts and hop on them to nyoom through the streets of Porrima. So to find out that there's something that can go even faster? He's already obsessed.
Then, by extension, biker Sage is a perfectly feasible concept.
If google is to be trusted (I don't know much about vehicles myself lmao) motorcycles are cheaper than cars, which is all the better for someone in Sage and Tulsi's situation, as he takes her to classes and picks her up again, while also running his own errands.
That's also how Sage started braiding his hair—Tulsi was very annoyed by how it always blew into her face when it slipped from under his helmet. Otherwise, she really enjoys the ride and keeps asking him to speed up because she loves the feel of wind rushing by. So does Sage, who enjoys going at dangerous speeds, but as long as his little sister is onboard he never goes past a certain limit. Once she's old enough he teaches her to ride on her own.
Eventually the bike isn't just a way of transportation for Sage, but a way to seek clarity of mind. Whenever he could, he'd take the bike out in the middle of the night and zigzag between empty streets, dip into tunnels, and zoom over the highway. The streetlights can stretch their golden fingers so far into the darkness before drowning in the night sky, and if Sage had a way with words he'd wax poetic about the peaceful endlessness of the night's void and the persistence of light against its darkness, but that was more Felix's thing. To Sage, what truly matters is that the tranquility of the (mostly) empty streets soothes him, the wind rushing past his ears drowns out all his thoughts, and for just a couple precious hours he can feel like he's on top of the world, unburdened by any of its worries.
His meeting with Lucan was probably a coincidence: just this big guy who zoomed past Sage on his bike and the latter felt challenged, so it escalated into a race around the city, and at the end they shook hands and exchanged numbers. That is how the Griefers started: two guys who liked being on bikes and knew a bunch of other guys who also liked being on bikes. They're adrenaline junkies first and foremost, but they're always keeping an eye out for trouble and helping out where they're needed.
Soon enough they become well-known for helping out solitary people trying to make their way back home in the middle of the night, giving them a free safe ride or fighting off any creeps trying to follow. Any Griefer who tries to abuse this trust is kicked out of the group but not before being served a farewell beating. They'll also go into 24/7 open diners for a midnight snack and scare off any rude or creepy customers.
Even if they mean well, a pack of big dudes clad in black can still feel pretty scary, so Elowen has always been a reassuring presence to any poor soul who got crowded by these over-excitable dogs just trying to help. I mean, her smile and her cold eyes glinting with mischief—as if she just can't wait to pounce on you—can still be pretty unnerving, but she's not as loud and boisterous as the others, nor is she as crudely rough with her handling of things.
Yeah, they can all look intimidating but then Elowen is making Lucan bend over to pull at his ear for doing something dumb, Lucan slaps Balsam's shoulder into next Sunday because a stupid joke made him laugh too hard, Balsam headbutts Sage to get him off of the last french fry, and next morning Sage is driving Tulsi to class and she's sitting behind him wearing her cute helmet covered in cute bunny stickers all over.
Lucan and Elowen in leather... faints. There's no strict dress code for the gang but the Vair siblings sure do love their black leather jackets and tight jeans. Balsam's jacket got those spikes on the lapels/shoulder pads that he shows off to awed and curious kids. Sage probably sticks to his red bomber jacket, but stays somewhat on code with his black pants and boots. I'd love to see him in a black jacket though, purely because of this cool oc art. Ugh they're are all so hot it's unfair.
Motorbike dates? Absolutely. All the Griefers have one braincell: they won't go dangerously fast with you, but they like to pick up the speed once in a while just to get you to tighten your arms around them. You can ride your own bike? "Well you're one after my very own heart."
