Days grow ever shorter as the cold deepens across Fódlan, sprinkling the first powders of hoarfrost from its icy hand. Roaring fires become the eye of every household, a halo of red to match that which cloaks the silhouettes of wolves under the growing moon. Their distant howls strike fear into the hearts of shepherds in the dark.

The north winds of Faerghus bring not only the promise of winter, but whispers of concern surrounding a particular Kingdom nobleman. Rumor has it that this man has been acting strangely - erratic one day and lethargic the next, occasionally mumbling gibberish under his breath. His sudden disappearance has resulted in calls for the Church to investigate. After the fiasco in Leicester, however, those who are called to look into the matter have been ordered to shed their uniforms and make their identities a secret. As eastern Faerghus settles in for an impending snowstorm, no one will bat an eye at travelers searching for warmth and shelter.

Golden Deer Mission: Investigate Duke Philip!

GD Mission Board

Faerghus' winter storms come early this year. The bone-deep chill you feel as a strong wind blows through your group is worse than the priests back at school forewarned. Unless you're planning to become a popsicle, you should do as the Faerghans do and try to build yourself some shelter.

You stick out like a sore thumb in your school uniforms, and they're not quite enough to keep you warm either. On your travels, you come across a ransacked village, scorched and trampled... it's an opportunity to find more appropriate clothes, even if you're mixed on the idea of becoming a second group of bandits. What’s more, the destruction seems fairly recent...

Ill-prepared for the weather as you are, you manage to get lost in the forest just outside of the location you’re supposed to be investigating. Part of your group builds a fire to stay warm as the sun begins to sink, while the other sets out to regain their bearings. It’s just as dusk sets in that the trees come alive with low moaning and the sound of something being dragged through the leaf litter. You brace for a monster, but instead you find humans - around half a dozen - with ashen skin and their eyes rolled back into their heads. One swings at someone in your party and sends them flying into a tree, but unfortunately your attacks aren’t so potent. Standard weapons bounce right off of these things. Fortunately for you, Nessie of the Knights of Seiros is with you, and one strike from her gauntlets reveals the monster’s weakness: Relics. [Grants +1 Reason or +1 Brawling]

With Nessie’s help, you make it to the village at last. There seems to be some sort of ritual or festival going on - one that doesn’t correspond to any holiday you’ve heard of. Not to mention that decor seems half-rotted already, and the houses look to have been neglected for weeks. There are people in dark cloaks, their faces concealed, shuffling in between crowds of those same corpse-like monsters you fought in the forest. Except Nessie recognizes a handful of them by name, and you come to the cold realization that these are people. Dressed in robes yourself, you go unnoticed by whoever is leading this strange ritual. Try to keep a low profile as you observe. [Grants +1 Faith]

You’re on the lookout for a Duke Philip - the man supposedly in charge of this village, and the one whose report you initially received. There’s a house at the far end of the village with doors and windows both completely boarded up. But through a hole, you manage to see a glimpse of a shadow pacing back and forth at all hours of the day. The cloaked figures in the village also seem especially interested in this place, as there are often three or four patrolling the area at any given time. Make too much of a commotion and your mission will be in jeopardy.

NEW ! As time goes on, you begin to notice a pattern. Occasionally one of the villagers will be called to the house on the far end of the village. Some never return. Others return more irritable and irrational, similar to the people you discovered in the forest. It's reason enough to try investigating the building more thoroughly. You find a way in through a trap door, where stairs lead you down into a basement, dark save for the familiar glow of magical energy. It's hard to comprehend what half of these contraptions are for, and even harder to make your way around the room. Your foot catches on something, and clanging metal precedes a strange "beeping" sound that comes from a tall tower-like object in the center of the room. You already have a bad feeling about this, and the bolt of thunder magic that shoots from the tower only confirms it.

NEW ! Over the past few days, the buzzing noise in your ears has gotten louder and louder. It breaks your focus and deafens your thoughts, and as your friends approach you and voice their concerns, your only thought is to push back against them and shut them up. Perhaps permanently. As your mind begins to fray under whatever has been influencing the villager's, can your friends bring you back to your senses?

NEW ! It started with only a few to begin with, not enough to prove conspicuous. But as the month drags on, there's no two ways about it: the shambling villagers going through the worst of this curious blight share at the least one thing in common. Each of them bears a lance, all the more suspicious for how normal the weapons appear at a glance. A closer look may reveal more to the puzzle, though that will first involve prying a villager from their prize - an endeavour that will require planning lest you bring the horde of them upon yourself. [Grants +1 Lance]

Non-Mission Tasks

The local cats and dogs of the monastery have been anxious recently. One of the students, who had been known to play with them and leave them food, has recently gone missing. Your investigation into the matter leads you behind the abandoned cathedral, where you find a giant Demonic Wolf crouched over her body. As it licks her hands, growling and whining, you spot a bright pink ribbon tied around its neck, nestled in its matted fur. The wolf takes notice of you, steps forward protectively, and growls low.

As the days grow colder, students balk at the idea of walking around outside in the cold, especially late at night. Whispers of a shortcut quickly spread through the student body: if you're coming from the library, you can go through the gallery hall to get back to the dorms. It's not long until this path is marred by rumors of an armored thief stealing people's books and essays late at night. There's a reward if you unmask the criminal, but soon enough you find out that there's more to this criminal than you thought. Too bad the realization only comes when one of the armored knights on display is magically brought to life, brandishing its sword at you. [Grants +1 Sword]

Cold weather is on the rise, and the students are eager for new games to entertain themselves with. Luckily for them, the mage club has been happy to provide! Inspired by the visiting wyvern flock last moon, they have devised a new contraption: the magicanical bull! Combining magic and mechanical parts, this faux bull does its very best to throw its rider off its back. The name of the game is to last as long as you can! How long can you hold on before you fall? [Grants +1 Riding]

The staff of Garreg Mach are calling for volunteers! On a nearby snowy mountain sits a large, abandoned tower from days long past. Lady Rhea wishes to bring this building to this century and create a recreational space for the students. There are floors to sweep and beds to make, but the discovery of a large hot spring tempts you to play hooky....

With only weeks to practice for the White Heron Cup, students busy themselves by ordering their ball attire and practicing their dance moves. Even the stodgiest grump can't help but feel energized by the excitement in the air.

NEW ! A recent snowstorm at the base of the Oghma Mountains has blown a group of lumberjacks into Garreg Mach's castle town. The Society of Axe Personnel (proudly referring themselves as "SAP") are grateful for the assistance that the Church has offered, and in return they decided to put together a lumberjack skill competition! Practice climbing trees, logrolling in the fishing pond, and carving wooden statues with your axe! [Grants +1 Axe]

NEW ! Strange magical happenings are a dime a dozen these days, and the administration has taken notice. For the students' safety, the faculty have devised a new winter session course in defending against magical attacks, geared towards those with little resistance. If the sight of heavy armor and broad iron shields doesn't earn a groan from the students, the words "mandatory for all Officers Academy students" in the course description certainly will. However, the talented mages in the student body have some tricks up their sleeves. One morning you arrive at class with the armor already in use, the students using their shields to bash at a flaming ball of magic and bring it closer to the goalposts on one side of the field. One of the players notices you and calls out. They just invented this cool new game, do you want to play? [Grants +1 Heavy Armor]

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the divided task board work?

This season’s mission is assigned to the Golden Deer. Therefore, tasks from the ‘GD Mission Task Board’ must be undertaken by someone that is affiliated with the Golden Deer.

Tasks from the ‘Non-Mission Task Board’ have no house restriction and can be undertaken by anyone.

These aren’t the only threads I can do, right?

Of course not! These are just prompts to help give some ideas of possibilities. You’re always free and encouraged to make up your own threads. You’re also more than welcome to worldbuild on your own, using these prompts as a base.

How do I claim the skill points?

In order to qualify for the skill point, the thread must clearly allude to the listed task and preferably feature the task being completed; however, the point can still be claimed even if your muses narratively fail the task (failure is sometimes just as fun to write as success, after all). You do not need to message the masterlist to claim your skill point.

Can I only do one task?

Nope, you can do as many as you’d like with as many different partners as you’d like! You can do the same task with more than one person! However, you can only claim the skill point for each task once.

What if my partner leaves or drops a skill point thread?

If the dropped thread has at least 2 notes (not counting likes, only reblogs with replies in them) and you have hit at least 400 words on your end, you may still claim the skill point.

Remember to use (and track!) the #toa open tag for any open threads, and you can also post a link to your open thread on the appropriate Discord channel! If you have any other questions or concerns, shoot us a message through the masterlist or on Discord!

Can we get more detail about the Christmas party at the end of ILM, since tis the season? Any info about future Christmases?

Sure! What would you like to know? Just skimming through the time, I know I have mentioned some of these before, but:

Anna arrived and tackled Michael /through/ a wall because she thought he was hurting her son. This is how they met. Wildly, they vibed well after.

Anna recognized Philip immediately and was all “:DDD!!!!” And he was all “ (’•n•`;)” and got hug jumped with no gd clue why or that he knew her. Anna was ecstatic to see him again. Philip, after hearing how she met him, regained a few orphaned memories of the event lile he did being captured in the lab, and while not anything like a full recolection, was very happy to get a little back.

They put on Dirty Dancing the second to last day of the trip, and it was amazing. Made some super basic quick sets out of stuff in the house, and did costumes, and it was goofy but amazing and they worked hard and it’s a treasured memory for everyone. (Also it was a ton of intensive training. Joey was excited he made it into group dance cutoff and was super happy. Also the ‘rents and various family greatly enjoyed. It was recorded from multiple angles, too, and Jane edited a cut with various imput (mostly from Ace and Meg), and they all have dvd copies. It’s a fun goofy holiday rewatch now.

Massive dinner. With like, a wildly varied buffet with a ton of different cultural backgrounds. Everything was amazing but Adam did a hot pot that went empty almost immediately and then was requested every year after and he doesn’t talk about it but it made him really happy because he worked hard learning to do that in prep and even Min and Jane who have the most refined pallets liked it a bunch. Incredible mess from making desserts and decorating them. Jeff is baked goods king.

Stuff was easier with Legion, but still kind of awkward. It was okay though, and sometimes really good, and it was sucessful enough to be an important and valuable memory to the lot of them.

Philip’s family had a bunch of fun and got to meet everyone else for the first time (had met quite a few before but it was the first time with everyone). Isa absolutely roasted his brother and Philip died but he’s okay now. Sometimes siblings just be like that and what can you do. Mostly, he was just incredibly thrilled to see them and have good stories to tell and to have enough money himself to help the people he loves financially and buy nice gifts a little too. Philip made a bunch of his gifts by hand because he is very good at sewing, and his gifts are always increidbly popular.

Most of the gang in attendance played live mafia in the Indiana House and it was the wildest fucking thing it went way too hard people were losing it like they were in a world championship or shooting an impromptu horror film. They all had a ball and almost everyone was like “Yo lets do it again 👀.” (When I say they went hard I mean one time Jake was a killer, from upstairs saw Kate making a run for the safe room on the ground floor, and he fucking jumped off the second story onto her to get her and could easily have injured either of them but I mean it’s Jake and Kate so they were fine but like. It was that level of unhinged almost from the start. Ace had a terrifying like Wicked Witch of the West classic scream laugh he did both as killer and when found to startle the killer and it was both horrifying and incredibly effective. Meg saw him do that to Tapp once and she laughed so hard she cried bc of his reaction).

Big old OG campfire style blankets and pillows on the floor slumber party Christmas Eve. :’-] The OG crew always kind of misses the community vibe they so crucially depended on, and they feel really safe and happy when they get to relive it. They need it sometimes.

Uhhhh as far as future Christmases go, most of the time they meet in the Indiana house for tradition, but sometimes they gravitate around to other places. They got a nice heavy snow a few years in and the young adults made huge snow forts and tried to kill each other in snow battle, and Joey prooved to be an especiallly acomplished snow engineer.

It’s always a big occassion, as are any holidays or events the fam can possibly claim as an excuse to meet up. A lot of them start to develop little traditions, like Meg, Jake, Nea, and Fenf putting up lights on the roof and trees in the most wildly reckless ways possible just climbing on shit chucking lights. The old feral friends crew needed to live their best lives, so they sure do.

The animals get more used to each other the longer the meetups happen. Alex and Michael Cat have a wild almost rivalry friendship going. Also, Alex likes to give Jake gifts and often steals them from other people. Sometimes it’ll be super weird stuff nobody has any idea where it comes from, like one time she gave him a knife (like a little snapped pocket knife blade) and Jake almost lost his shit when his crow came swooping at him cawing excitedly and wielding a blade directly at his arm 🔪. Michael Cat is obsessed with Claudette because she saved him once and always does like an excited announcement myrrp when he sees her and scampers over and just climbs up whatever she is wearing and latches to her top and purrs like the world’s best living brooch for a minute or two. She is used to it now and it makes her very happy.

Overall, they’re just very happy. Sometimes stuff messes up, or people can’t be there, but usually, Christmas is one of several times everybody like including extended fam gets to see everybody else, and so it’s a big favorite time of year. It’s home. :’-) 💙🎄

one anon sent me an ask about if all of my fic locations were based on real life locations but i deleted it like a dumbass so i’m sending it to myself

secret i do this all the time when i accidentally delete shit bc i’m actually really good at remembering the exact wording of asks but it’s 8 AM so

HI. so okay, most of the locations i refer to in fic are based at least loosely off places i’ve been to in real life. i’m assuming you’re talking about things like bars and restaurants etc ofc.

in petersburg - the whole thing is set in stras so Every. single thing is real. eren and armin’s apartment is based off an apartment down the street from where i used to live, though i barely describe it. it’s near the main station. (i don’t usually describe living spaces a lot. tbh i barely describe anything i’m very curious about ur question actually.) jean’s apartment is near gallia and based off the ex-apartment that my friends oscar and hernan used to share. i wrote some scenes while getting trashed at theirs. the boat bar in which jean calls eren shorty and ymir is like, serving tequila or something, is barco latino. it used to be off the quais of gallia but it’s at rivetoile now. the cathedral is, well, the cathedral. the cafe is based off a now-closed cafe next to our physics institute.

jaywalkers - so funnily enough, the Iconic vertigo and le petit whatever are actually just built from scratch. vertigo gets its name from an actual club called vertigo in grenoble that i either never went to or have no memory of going - it’s just special to me because my first real night out, this girl i met kept saying we should go there because it’s lit. le petit bum is possibly lowkey based off this chain of cafés we have in india called café coffee day, because those are really cozy if you ignore the demanding indian metropolis sprawling outside. very warm colours, couches, all that. but yeah. also, i know it’s impossible basically anywhere let alone metropolitan japan but in my head le petit cube is just that. a cube. like. this cafe in the middle of a parking lot kinda thing, not attached to any other building or anything. improbable? yes. but what are u gonna do. kill me. ANYWAY all this to say that jaywalkers which is like arguably my Biggest Thing is actually not based off anything, it was funny enough that i had to mention it here. that being said the library tsukki studies in is based off the library of my faculty.

heretic - tsukki’s apartment is based off the apartment of the architect who designed my house in india. kuroo’s place is designed after the first apartment i have a memory of, from my childhood, where i lived for about three or four years. funnily enough, every time i imagine an apartment for kuroo and tsukki, it ends up being that one. the apartment in ephemerides, the one they used to share in moonfall, and even the one they’ll own later in jaywalkers. anyway. the club in heretic is based off this random club i went to in prague when i was trashed. don’t ask me the name, i don’t even know how i was standing on two legs at that point.

s;b - oooh so AGAIN, my childhood apartment. jimin and jk’s place is based off it. i think there’s something about the design that just made so much sense to me. taehyung’s penthouse is imaginary i’ve never been to a penthouse lel. gd and tabi’s mansion is based off our country house in the woods of south gujarat. taejin’s engagement thing hotel is real. kibum and CL’s club is like a much larger version of a bar we have in stras called le 21. blue lights, very chic, etc. boongi’s club is based off this place in grenoble called the phoenix, but like, smaller and greener lel.

11:58:30 - suho’s place is based off someone’s country house but i cannot remember who, definitely somewhere in india. we’ve got chemistry is one hundred percent our chemistry faculty’s bar.

buttergingers - FUCK i meant fingers but that’s funny i’ll keep it. seokjin’s is based off a cafe we have in stras called oh my goodness. soooo fucking cute.

poppy seeds - vmin’s apartment is based off my ex’s apartment, minus the fact that q and his roomies were. Special and had a collection of stolen street signs, a giant traffic cone that they use to gather bottle caps, and also one metal horse pogo kinda thing that they stole from a playground. so none of that. but definitely the apartment. same-ish apartment used for that hopekook fic where jungkook’s a giant theatre nerd. i basically default to this apartment for all extreme party situations in fic bc that’s what we still do when we go there. he lives with two girls now so it’s much more Sensible but that apartment is HAUNTED. anyway. that board game singing kinda cafe they go to is a combination of two of my favourite places in grenoble, kfee des jeux and brown’s which has since closed down. biggest tragedy of my life.

that namjin indie cafe fic - so seokjin’s cafe is just a tiny generic indie cafe but namjoon’s cafe is based off this like place in stras that has since closed down/switched owners so the decor is nothing like it, but basically this place was a front for a secret bar like it’d always be empty and you’d go to the bouncer like table for 3 and he’ll look you in the eyes like We’re Full Sorry and you’re like what. i actually did that 4 times before i found out it’s a secret bar and you have to like waggle your eyebrows and go table for 3 UPSTAIRS and they let you up the stairs and you can enter if you figure out 1) where the door is 2) how to open it. fun times. it’s a great bar, it’s called moonshiners. BEST. COCKTAILS. EVER.

rockstar fic - ehhh. the system is based off a bar in stras called delirium. i actually fucking hate delirium lel you can barely hear yourself bc it’s so huge and filled w ppl talking. they serve you piña coladas in coconut shells though and there’s this bartender called martin or marvin or MATHIEU THAT’S IT who will give you haribo if you ask nicely. the hotel they stay at is based off the hyatt at jeju. i mean it IS the hyatt. i just didn’t mention it bc like that’s whatever. kth’s studio is based off that one really cozy studio that coke studio pakistan often films in. i think it’s in laage re nain by ayesha something. also JIMMY’S. based off jimmy’s bar in strasbourg. beautiful. i lived practically across from it until last week, just moved. but i’m only 2 minutes further i literally moved like 500m away, life is good.

tuesday wednesday - ok so nothing special here but like their first Battle Moment on campus is definitely on my campus. in general if i vaguely mention Campus™ somewhere outside jaywalkers, you can rest assured that i mean EXACTLY this area:

SO YES THERE YOU HAVE IT. now as a bonus for Big Boy it’s based in seoul (which i haven’t been to) but for the most part in paris (which i have been to and like lived in) and for The Most part the louvre. bonus appearances from moscow, st petersburg, new york, tokyo, and singapore. taehyung’s apartment is.........hilariously based on the apartment i just moved to. it’s hilarious because when i started writing (it opens at his apartment) i.....hadn’t seen this apartment yet? but i visualised it perfectly and when i saw it irl i was like oh it’s you. so fun times.

#anyway enjoy!!!!!!!#there is so much stras in here #and so much of my campus given that it's................a butt ugly campus #ok that's not fair it has its moments #but it is VERY.#nothing matches.#straspresent #fic #teesta talks for ts #anons #replies

ok yall ive never made a sideblog before so this may go rough but ! u kno what 2019 is about us facing our fears ok. in other news this is my new Child callia ( um hi i’m cali ty’s mun if u didnt know ) . i was gonna write out a whole gr8 intro but honestly got lazy lmfao whats new ?? under the cut is the usual, wanted plots and stats and whateva ok xoxo

BASICS !

name: callia ( beautiful voice ) bianca ( after her mother ) donatella ( after donatella versace ) watkins ( welsh surname ) nicknames: calli, cal age: twenty three birthday: november 3 1995 zodiac: scorpio hometown: melbourne, australia occupation: head engineer at a green tech company hobbies: working out, partying, watching jeopardy, drawing, reading, trying new foods, going for walks in central park family: emil watkins ( iron ore mining magnate ) , bianca watkins ( socialite ) style inspo: kendall jenner, elsa hosk, rachel green, 90′s drew barrymore, bella hadid muse inspo: donna pinciotti, monica geller, tai frasier, mylene cruz, fallon carrington ( career wise )

HISTORY !

ok so if yall haven’t seen the show yummy mummies on netflix gd thats my new addiction / guilty pleasure o shit that show’s hilarious. callia’s family is fully based on carlos and maria ( maria’s this random selfish bitch who’s obsESSED w versace and herself like go watch fr ) so callia grew up wearing only designer, mostly versace and burberry clothing. she didnt rly care when she was a small child but as she started growing up she started like ?? getting shit on by her other for being a regular child & wanting to play when her mom just wanted her to be decor essentially

had a pretty lonely childhood tbh spent most her time with her terror of a mother bc she wasn’t rly allowed to go hang out w other kids & was never involved in school activities. like essentially she only went to whatever prissy academy so her mom could show off her new car or her daughter’s outfits & brag to other moms lmfao

tbh didn’t give a shit about the brands and labels despite their house being covered in head to toe versace everythING she was more interested in sports and actuaL hobbies ?? so she wanted to play sports but wasn’t allowed bc goD FORBID she get a bruise or smth on her perfect skin. so she just started working out on her own in their home gym and found it was a rly good escape from her fam

another method of escape her mother’s grip was by delving into her studies. she was always top of her class and worked so dang hard ( but like also could afford the best tutors and education lmfao) so sis basically could get accepted wherever she wanted to go for post secondary

eventually she was able to convince her parents to let her study abroad for a year in nyc going to stay w her cousin #jessegrove where she was ! finally ! able to escape the clutches of her awful mother and her pushover disconnected father. she told her mother she was going to use the year as research for a career in modeling or fashion or smth bc she knew it’d cater to her moms interests but rly she just needed to get tf out of melbourne and live a normal life

she’s lived in nyc ever since ( since she was 18 - she’s 23 now ) and wanted nothing to do with the expensive brand names she’d grown to despise. so she found herself a condo ( def spent millions on it bc god forbid bianca watkins’ daughter living in anything under 5mil) but didn’t want it to be anything crazy bc she was so over that lifestyle so its def luxurious but very basic and minimal compared to what she grew up with

got into columbia’s earth and environmental engineering program bc she figured she ought to do something good with her smarts and her parent’s money so she went to school to get a degree & got a sweet job at a green tech company where she basically gets to do whatever tf she wants bc she’s the head engineer & makes fat stacks

PERSONALITY !

during the week goOD luck convincing cal to leave the office like she basically lives there but she loves it ??? or shes at home doing facemasks and binging on reality tv like weekday vs weekend shes a completely diff person

weekends like......u better watch out. having grown up so isolated and sheltered callia has come to LOVE the nyc nightlife scene like she will get blackout one night and be ready to get drunk at brunch the next. shes not usually the life of the party moreso bc she enjoys just being a shit disturber and finds it fun lmfao

experiences maJOR fomo

she rly tries to be nice to everyone stemming from a deep need to have friends and be liked lmfao and is overall v approachable and friendly

can come across as fake tho bc she tries to be so nice she won’t disagree w people unelss they’re waY off from her own ideas

is v politically engaged & cares alot abt the environment so she’s vegan, walks most places, will 10/10 give a ted talk if anyone asks more deeply abt her job

honestly she wears mostly like simple clothing. like she just buys what she likes, whether its at h&m or at prada she has a distaste for exclusively brand wardrobes. def mostly walks around in high top converse and levi’s jeans

WANTED PLOTS !

roommates ! the apartment linked above has 4 bedrooms so i’d loVE for 3 lil old roomates :’)

hook ups / fwbs ! all that pent up stress has to come out somewhere lmfao shes tryna get laid at every turn so imma need a bunch of hook up plots ok no specific gender ( unlimited )

best friend ! the mary kate to her ashley, this person understands her inside and out & tbh knows her better than she knows herself. def knows about her crazy mother & can put up w the rants ( open )

friends from college ! they prob have wild stories abt college parties & have seen one anohter at their worst. preferably someone who went to columbia also ( open )

mutual dislike ! they think callia’s annoying and preachy, she thinks they’re rude and devil’s spawn bc they’re not as passionate abt environmental issues ( open )

exes ( she ghosted on them ) ! pls ok pls i need many !!!! cal’s so willing to adapt her personality to fit w whoever she’s with so she prob would be rly lovey dovey and make it seem like they were perfect for each other and meant to be but she low key lied abt everything, her family, her background, her feelings for them, etc. she prob thought they were ok but wasn’t rly into them besides for sex. so eventually she just got so invested in her work she ghosted on them ! i imagine them dating for a while too like maybe a year & they never met her family or rly got to know her bc she was hella guarded ( open ! )

exes ( on good terms ) ! they dated when she was new to nyc - she was like oooh an american they were like ooh an australian & tbh their sex life was gr8 but they didn’t rly have much going except for that so they called it off. they’re still friends & sometimes laugh abt the relationship ( open ! )

current fling ! they’re hanging out , might be moving towards exclusivity but aren’t there yet, its casual ( open ! )

sibling like relationship ! she never had siblings so she always felt like that aspect was missing from her life. she prob treats them like a sibling, asking if they’ve eaten and keeping up to date on their life. she cares alot & has good intentions but can sometimes be seen as over protective and pushy ( open ! )

ok yall im tired of writing this shit props to yall who do like literal essays, bullet points are even too much for me. LIKE THIS n ill slide into yo dms ok thanks for coming to my ted talk

#wealthyhq:intro #ok this is rough but are we striving to do better ? no

Trolls- The Sudden Confession

Guys, this is my very first(literally) writing, the reason for my writing is because I really liked the movie and I feel like we all relate to Branch…like we just need to find a Poppy of our life to make us happy.

It’s been months since the two opposite life styles merged into one, the once gloomy lifeless Bergens and the energetic Trolls are now finally living in peace with the Bergens.

*They aren’t living in the Troll Tree yet*

“Ughhhhhh!” Queen Poppy said tiringly eventhough after taking such a long nap, for a moment, she thought it was past noon for it was extra bright and sunny that day. Poppy looked at her alarm and it read 8:30 in the morning, she did her usual routine in the morning which was breakfast, brush, comb, greeting to dad and simply walking out of her pod.

She saw the snackpack together, as usual, Dj Suki was the first to greet the newly awoken Queen, while the rest of the group said “morning!” in a surprising more energetic voice than before. “What’s with the louder voice than usual?” asked Poppy with a confused face, the group looked at Poppy with all raised eye brows and Guy Diamond saying “Don’t tell me you forgot about Branch’s birthday which was today!”. Poppy with a shock face for clearly forgetting about her bestfriend’s special day shakingly said “Pffff, ofcourse not, I mea..n why would I..umm right?”, “Sure…whatever you say” Dj Suki replied with a grin.

“Mind if we plan the surprise party inside your pod so we don’t get seen?” Biggie asked, Poppy simply nodded. “So exactly what time do we surprise him?” asked Poppy with an impatient face. “Well..ummm he usually leaves his bunker at around 6pm.” said Guy Diamond confidently, Chenile and Satin both asked “How are we going to sneak into his bunker? It’s not a pod like ours.” “Simple, he leaves his key under his mat.” the twins giggled and whispered into eachothers ear “Poppy stalking Branch?” both nodded in agreement.

The entire snackpack got busy with the gathering of materials for the soon to come party. Poppy and Biggie incharge of baking, Dj Suki with the music, the twins and GD with the decor, while the rest gathered material. All of a sudden their eyes widened with shock for a familiar voice was heard knocking and at the same time saying “Poppy, you home?” said the brightly spirited blue troll, Branch.

Poppy’s POV

‘Poppy don’t move a muscel’ I thought to myself while showing the others a shushing action to indicate that no one makes a noise. Branch’s call for any living soul in pod wouldn’t stop, “phewwww..” I said to myself for the call of my name has stopped for me and the others are making a surprise for him.

Branch’s POV

“Hmmmm..strange” I muttered, for wondering why wouldn’t anyone be home at this time of the day, after trying several tries for calling anyone in Poppy’s pod, so I decided to leave with a disappointed look and headed to Guy Diamond’s pod for his was the next closest to go to so I could personally invite him to my party that I’ll be hosting later on.

While at Guy Diamond’s pod, I did the same I shouted “Guy Diamond! Guy Diamond!” I started to become more curious so cautiously sneaked into his pod without alarming other trolls into thinking I’m a burgler, once I was inside I was shocked to see no one in his pod. So I left once again disappointed.

I went on to do the same actions like what I did with Poppy and Guy Diamond’s pod, which were to invite the twins, smidge, fuzzbert, biggie, Cooper and Dj Suki.

*back to the group* Chenile’s POV

“Hey sis, what do you think is up with Poppy lately? She seems stressed” I said with a concerned face, my sister replied with a simple “I have no idea.” and followed by another reply “Probably she’s getting ready or thinking on how to fess up on the feelings she have for Branch?”, I was confused so I curiously asked my Satin “I thought Branch confessed while saving us? Like the “I love you” from the song ‘True Colors’?“. Satin took awhile while she responded to what I said and all she said was “I think all he did was try to save us by giving us hope and the song just coincidentally had an I love you part.” All I could reply was “might be”.

Poppy’s POV

‘Why am I nervous? All I’m going to do is fess up to my feelings, right? How hard can that be?’ I thought to myself while blankly looking at the oven, “I wonder if Branch really meant that I love you phrase from the song he sang to me while at the pot” I mumbled to myself and suddenly getting interupted by Dj Suki waving a hand into my blank face. After she got my wanted attention all I could say was a simple “H-hey, how you doing?” while trying to keep a smile. “Look…I’m your bestfriend, I know you well so do you mind spitting that problem of yours out so I could help?” Dj said in a rather friendly concerned tone.

“I just feel guilty that I totally forgot about Branch’s birthday, I mean…I never forgot about all my friends birthdays and the one who saved us and bestfried is the one who’s birthday I forgot…UGHHHH!” is all I can say to Dj, I received a tight hug from her and she softly said “We all make mistakes, Poppy, nothing to worry about and plus we’re looking solid with this plan.” And we continued with our work.

Branch’s POV

After searching all of the rests pod…all I found were an empty pods from the twins, Biggie, smidge, fuzzbert, Cooper and Dj Suki. That’s when I started to walk back to Poppy’s pod to see if anyone is back there.

While walking back to Poppy’s pod I received lots of birthday greetings from the neighbors and so on.

*Back to the group*

“Guys, I think I see Branch walking back to your pod, Poppy!” said Cooper with widened eyes of shock. Everyone started pack up and leave the pod before Branch could even step near the pod.

The snackpack exited through the backdoor while running at top speed into the forest, in the direction of Branch’s bunker. When they reached an area with tall grasses beside them they knew they can stop and catch a break.

“Mhmmm hm fmmmm?” said Fuzzbert which neither of us could understand apart from Biggie. “Oh don’t worry guys, he’s just asking if Branch is able to see us.” We all simply said “We’re good.”. “Now let’s sneak in Branch’s bunker, I’m pretty sure he’s out of his house right about now.” Satin suggest, Poppy simply nodded.

Branch’s POV

As I stepped inside once again in Poppy’s pod, I was shocked to see the pod of Poppy’s was a mess, baking materials, scrapbook items, balloons and cupcakes everywhere on the floor.

“I guess they had a party and forgot to invite me? Haha” I mumbled while trying to keep hopes up. “I’ll go hit the lake and just spend the day there”

(Branch’s bunker is on the opposite direction of the Lake so meaning, Branch wouldn’t be near his bunker.)

*Back to the group*

“Poppy, it’s been an hour and I don’t hear or sense Branch anywhere!?” asked the twins in an impatient voice. “We just have to wait for a few more minutes, okay?” Poppy said trying to assure the twins that Branch will soon come.

Branch’s POV

While at the lake my mind was disturbed for the very fact that I couldn’t spend my day with anyone, or even atleast Poppy, my closest bestfriend…whom I have unsaid feelings for. “It’s almost night…I might as well call it a day.” I said to myself while unnoticingly turned back to my old grey and grumpy troll again.

*snap*, I looked back in shock into shouting “Who’s there?” in a rather scared tone, so I quickened my pace to reach Poppy’s pod for safety for it was the closest pod in the area.

*rustling of the bushes* I looked back and to my great horror I saw a spider that’s 6times bigger than me lunging at me with great speed. I was caught by surprise but the spider’s large fangs only gave me a scratch for it didn’t really quite hit me.

“I won’t DIE today!” I shouted, ‘I can’t run…if I do I might attract it to the village and it’ll hurt others more, and it’s long legs are faster than mine’ I thought scared to myself. “Arghhhhh!” I shouted for the spider striked again but this time connecting the sudden attack.

I looked at my pelvis with an uneasy look for all I saw was a huge cut with blood flowing out of my wound. All I could think of right now wad survival, so I used my hair like a whip and started to whip it with all my force, but this spider was different, it was much larger than the ones I faced before.

My whips to it weren’t doing much effectiveness to the spider for it was a huge one. ‘I guess I’m the one dying here’ I thought to myself for I notice I was getting weaker and weaker for blood was running out of my body like a marathon.

The spider noticed this and it simply walked away for knowing there isn’t much blood left in me for him to have a juicy meal on. I stumbled onto my feet and fell to the ground of the windy forest.

“I guess I’m going to see my fam-ily soon” I said in the loudest voice I could say possible, but to the outside world it was only a whisper. Flashes of bright images came running down in my mind, a common face and picture was Poppy.

*Back to the group*

“Poppy, it’s already getting dark, I think we might as well go home for it’ll become dangerous for us, don’t you think?” Guy Diamond suggested with a disappointed face for he expected a party. “Yeah, I think it’s best for us to all go home and leave the stuff we prepared here” Poppy said with a rather unsatisfied voice.

Poppy’s POV

“I wonder where Branch is…” I said to myself and got a sudden tap to my shoulders, it was Cooper, I immediately hugged him and he was rather surprised by the action I did but he knew I had a rough and tiring day so he returned the hug.

As I was at the door step to my pod, everyone waved goodbye and so did I. I layed on my bed disappointed for I expected so much for today. That’s when I heard a call for help from a familiar voice coming from the lake. So I rushed to where this “voice” was coming from.

Branch’s POV

When more and more flashes of images from loved ones and friends kept flashing before my eyes that when I decided to comjure up all the energy I had in me and decided to limp forwards to Poppy’s house.

As I was limping, I was also shouting for help. “HELP!?” I shouted, suddenly I felt weaker than before…I fell to my knees. Still shouting out for help.

Tears started rolling down my eyes…“I’m sorry Poppy…I never got to tell you how much I loved you” I said to myself… “I’m sorry that I rejected the parties that you invited me in…the hugs I refused to return and the countless times I shouted at you, I’m sorry.”

Suddenly I heard a familiar soothing voice…Poppy? No it can’t be. “Branch!?” the person shouted. I was already facing the sky with it’s countless amount of stars. Then another shout came “BRANCH! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?” the girl said in a worried tone.

That’s when she appeard in front of my eyes…I couldn’t focus….“Pop-py? I couldn’..t find you guys….so I went h-here.” My vision was starting to blur…so I decided to huddle Poppy so I could whisper my last wish to say in life before I would disppear…“Poppy…I’m sorry…”, Poppy kept saying “Branch don’t talk like that, everything will be alright, we can FIX YOU!”.

Poppy was getting more scared for she noticed how relaxed I am…“Branch! Look at me! Look at me!” she kept saying. That’s when I decided to say it…“Popp-y…I l-ove you”, Poppy bursted in tears and thats when I felt a pair of lips smash against mine…and she lovingly said “I love you too.” while hugging me. And that’s when I turned into my blue oceanic form once again.

Poppy’s POV

‘No! No! He can’t be dead’ I thought to myself…“HELP!” I shouted to the top of my lungs, the snackpack weren’t far so they were still able to hear my cry for help. GD was the first to arrive to my call and followed by the rest. I asked everyone to help me lift him up to bring him to the hospital and so we did in a hurry. I was quite surprised no one asked questions and just did what I said. ‘Probably because it was an emergency?’ I thought to myself

When we arrived to the hospital there was a doctor already waiting for our arrival for Dj Suki called in for an emergency for Branch. We were told to wait outside of the ER.

“POPPY! What happened to Branch??” Biggie asked loud and clear. All I could do and say was look up to him with exploding red eyes and say “I don’t kn-ow” while sobbing. Everyone came in to hug me tight…the tightest I’ve felt in my whole life.

The doctor finally came out of the ER and all of us rushed to the Doctor’s face. He had a grin on his face…and all he said was “Your friend will be fine, he just suffered alot of blood lost, but luckily he’s stable for now and yes…you’re allowed to visit him.” And he slowly walked away.

I was the first to rush in to check on Branch, followed by the rest of the group. I looked at his wounds and it looked terrible…he was in bad shape. “Branch whatever monster you faced out there…I know that you did it for the safety of the trolls” I said while sobbing. The rest of the snackpack left to go get some rest while I stayed.

Branch’s POV

“Arhhhh!” I squealed in pain, “Whe-re am I?” I confusingly said. I looked around to scan the room…“I’m alive?” I weakingly said, then that’s when I noticed Poppy sleeping on my bedside. I didn’t want to wake her up…but I was so thirsty….I tried standing up with my own two feet and when I did…I felt a horrible pain on my left hip so I squealed in pain again. That was enough to wake the unconcious Queen up, and she immediately said “BRANCH! YOU’RE AWAKE!”

“Glad to to hear I’m not in heaven” I jokingly said. That’s when Poppy came up from behind and hugged me on my upper chest to avoid my wound. After that I curiously asked what happened? And how did you find me?

“I heard you shouting for help, but I didn’t know who it was at first but I still went” Poppy said. “Where were you guys? I couldn’t find you guys in your pods so I decided to have some lonesome near the lake.”

“We were all inside your bunker, silly, we were going to surprise you for your birthday but you never showed up.” She simply said “I was extremely worried for you…you were asleep for 3days…Doctors thought you were in a coma”

The doctor walked in the room surprised to see me awake, “Well seems like your wound is abit healed, you’re ready to go Branch.” “Thanks doc for saving my life” I said and he returned my response with a smile and left the room. “Branch…did you really mean that? When you said you loved me?” Poppy said showing abit of embarassment in her face.

I kissed her soft lips to better show her my answer, and she kissed and hugged back. And as soon as I reached my bunkers, I received a rather late but amazing birthday surprise party.
