Prompt 175
Talon -William Cobb, that was his name once, he remembers that much at least- stares down blankly at the small child who is clinging to its -his His HIS- pant leg, tiny claws digging into the cloth and gripping onto the armor. It he freezes, unsure as to how to react. With Hunts or Orders, the talon knew exactly what to do. Entertain. Kill. Simple.
Talons were supposed to kill witnesses, he- IT knows this, especially as one of the oldest talons that belonged to the Court. Yet the talon hesitates, something stopping it from doing so. The child looks up at it, something oh so familiar about the motion, with blue-green eyes before burying their face against its- his?- leg.
“'̵m̸ ̵c̴o̷l̵d̸…” the child-chick… spoke? Not-spoke. Something else, familiar-yet-not. But cold, he knew that. Cold was bad, it meant sleep, not rest but a deep frozen sleep that took time to awaken from. A dangerous thing. A thing not-talons didn’t wake up from.
The chick -Hadn’t he had a child once, all that time ago- whined, bringing its-his attention back to them. Talon could wait to return to the Court for a few hours more- the task it had been given was already complete-and keep the Cold away from the tiny chick. Just for a little bit.

like, for being largely a plot device character, Raphael presents some interesting characterization. only on a second run-through, after knowing more about him, do you start to realize how profoundly insecure Raphael is and how frequently he gives that away.
in his very first meeting with you, he constantly refers to himself as a 'devil'. he's not a devil. he's a cambion. which is a distinct category of its own and, power-wise, so inconsequential that they're not even considered a part of the devil hierarchy. this means that whatever power and prestige he does have (if he even has any, because the game doesn't really go into devil politics), he only has because his father is Mephistopheles. and he hates his father. yet he also can't help but embody a lesser version of his father. that same theatricality, same princely demeanour, same hoarding of treasures. even his 'red, horns, and wings' form is exactly like Mephistopheles's chosen form. he seems to hate his father because he makes him feel small, yet also undeniably looks up to his father because he uses the exact same facade. and once you notice this, so much of what Raphael does seems incredibly childish. He so desperately wants to be something more than Mephistopheles's cringefail son but can't stop centring his dad in everything that he does.
what a horribly human trait to have.

The Fake Princess and the Obsessive Prince: A Decade of Hidden Desires Behind the Ice Mask - By Tenten (8/10)
Meaningful, strategic decisions. Convenient memory loss. Those two aspects don't mesh well, and it makes the story more average. It's sweet and dramatic, and the Ice Prince is super obsessed. It's worth a read, but the Plot Convenience is always there in the background. The story gets murky.
Lilly is a body double. She thinks she's friends with her princess, but it's a really toxic relationship. The Princess casually tells Lilly to sacrifice herself.
She does. Foolish, loving Lilly walks into marriage with a madman. All because her mistress and twin bestie deserves better....while she deserves nothing apparently.
The ice prince doesn't look very appealing.
Lilly wants to save her princess.
Lilly is a convenient orphan who definitely isn't the real princess with memory loss. Or a lost twin. That would be crazy. The other princess totally isn't keeping her as a brainwashed servant because civil war is coming. Lilly totally isn't a sacrifice.
Gray the reaper isn't that bad.
The mega sexist pushy arrogant prince is way worse.
But wait.
He's evil on purpose.
He keeps messing with Lilly because he KNOWS Gray is obsessed with her.
Behaving like an animal is sure to push Gray towards making errors out of anger.
It's all a plot. Nothing is real, except the bullying Lilly has to suffer through.
Gray earnestly tries his best.
He wants to be a loving husband.
Everybody else wants to torment Lilly because she's a foreigner.
Lilly isn't dumb. She knows the maids don't want to abuse her. Other powers are forcing them. Gray tries his best.
He really does...
....but it escalates
Lilly also thinks he loves the real princess, not her.
Gray has been torturing her bullies.
Also, his younger brother wants Lilly gone because she's an unessessary weakness. Even high ranking ladies are pawns in this world, but Gray stands strong. He ruthlessly carves a path to power, for Lilly.
Not the princess.
Lilly.
The stakes are high.
It's tense, but the memory loss aspect magically fixes everything...and that's boring.
