Unordinary Girls: Crystal Hearts

Chapter 1: Opening up Pandora’s Box

This an original series of mine and all the character in the series belong to me. So enjoy and tell me what you think! You can find the book on Wattpad.

 I lost control of everything my mind, my body, my spirit, everything I once would call mine was gone or there was no control of it. I just kept running. I couldn’t stop or that I wouldn’t stop. I knew it was a dream but it felt so real. I kept on running, the voices were becoming louder and the muffled faded of distant voices that used to haunt my mind. Then the flames would start to emerge, my entire world turned into flames. I watched them dance as I felt my body freeze. My whole world became cold. Everything was this dull silence in my mind. I could still hear the voices almost like they were crying out for help. Everything hurt the pain became too much, then from all the chaos I could see all of them. Everything was gone this world I took that away from me then the word hit me so hard I felt myself starting to fall into the dark abyss that I’ve become so accustomed to. The words.

“It’s all your fault.”

“We needed you and you weren’t there.”

 “You could have prevented this from happening.”

“You failed once again.”

 “You were supposed to be our leader and you abandoned us.”

 “You were supposed to be my sister.”

 Everything was crashing. I was crashing and I couldn’t stop this. I’m sorry I didn’t know it was going to end like this. You are right it my fault I was supposed to protect all of you. I left you all and you needed me. I was selfish. What am I saying? I never understood why I would have this dream and yet it is so vivid. I felt some solace with this darkness I landed in; it felt like I belonged to it. Then I felt something rip through my body. It was...my spirit and I saw the light and I saw her holding her hand out towards to grab it and take it. I come so close every time I end up falling into my own destruction.

“It alright my little flower” MOM!

“MAMA!” I woke to myself drenched in my own sweat and gasping for air. It was like life was taken out of me and stuck back in.

 “Neon! Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. Fujioka”

 “It didn’t sound like you were.” Kira and I stared at each other for a few seconds. “Fujioko I’ll stay with Neon for the night, you go back to bed.” Fujioka signed and returned to her room. I couldn’t get over what happened. I've been having these dreams since I was a little kid. I still don’t know the meaning behind any of them.

 “Come on, let's get some sleep you need it.” Kira, she my s- my best friend I live here with her stepmom and dad ever since that day. She has always been so caring of me no matter what she is like an older sibling you could say. I just wish she wouldn’t worry so much.

“I shouldn’t go back to sleep, I'll just go back to that place again.” I looked at her, her eyes were filled with worry. “It's that bad again huh.” Pretty much we didn’t need to talk to know what the other one is thinking, we just knew. “You know you could tell me every once and while.” I sighed. “The dream doesn’t concern you so it shouldn’t matter at all.” Kira groaned. “Cold as always sis. Someone has to look after you. It does concern me. I'm your sister and I always will be.” I turned my back to her. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep.

I’m here again. It is so beautiful it feels like I could breathe freely now. Everything was so beautiful here. I saw all of them in all of the spirits. I let my feet carry me. “ Welcome back miss Neon.” It was Kuzu who was the spirit guardian of the spirit world. “You seem like a troubled little one.”

 “It’s my dreams or my powers again. I’ve been old, they are just dreams.” He took my hand. “I see my little maiden. It’s both sometimes hard to tell. I also could see those humans aren’t helping much. I will make an exception for the one who is so attracted to you.” Kuzu has always kept me company here since I could remember coming here.

 “You can despise humans all you want, it's not going to make them go away anytime soon. I’m also human. There are some spirits you mustn't like. Also for you information her name is Kira and she really cares about me. I know for a fact she wouldn't let anything bad happen to me.” I looked at Kuzu, I’ve always wondered if he gets lonely.

“I’m quite alright with my child. I don’t get lonely here, if I do I have you for company. For your information I do digress some spirits that come here” I didn’t say anything more. Kuzu and I continued our walk together. I did enjoy this time.

“They are worse from before.” He figured it out he certainly did.

“In a way yes they have, I can’t figure out the voices in my head in my dreams sometimes it’s screaming and crying for help. I just keep running and I can’t stop myself. It’s like I lost control of everything in my possession.” I could feel my chest tighten up from talking about it. I felt Kuzu put his hand on my shoulder. “Everything will work out my little maiden I believe so. One thing I wish for you is that I don’t want to see you here as a spirit anytime soon.” I knew what he was talking about. Kuzu had the ability to read minds. I’ve always wondered what would happen if I died. It wasn’t like I’m afraid of dying, I just wouldn’t want to come back. Being here is so peaceful. It was that cloak again I know who it belongs to. Before I could even stop myself I started running toward there. “Mama. Please.” It was her it only could be her. She vanished. I almost had her.

 “Neon!” I felt Kuzu grab me and my whole world was back to normal. “Little maiden, thank the gods for helping me save you. Don’t ever do that again, we talked about this before. There are spirits that will hurt worse they will kill you. I know the internal pain your parents have caused you with their deaths. There will be one day I won’t be able to save you.” I was being selfish again. I really am a heartless creature doomed to this Earth.

“I’m sorry Kuzu.” He tapped my head. I opened my eyes and the stiffness came back to haunt my body. I got up out of bed, I got dressed and went downstairs. Fujioka was down there, it was like she was waiting for me. I wanted to be alone right now.

 “Good Morning Neon.”

“Yeah.” I went to go put on my shoes and grab my bag to head out for the day.

 “We need to talk.” I sighed of course she wouldn’t want Kira around to hear us. Keeping secrets again it's become everybody’s secret talent these days. “About what?”

 “You become a Mage. I don’t think it’s the best path for you to follow.” She really was going there. We’ve had a conversation before and it didn’t end well. “Because of my weak body, I’m fragile, I could die from using too much magic, you need to stop going to the spirit world, it's going to kill you. That’s all I hear from everyone that I can’t do it. I’m tired of Fujioka. I’m going to be Mage even if it kills me.”

“Neon that necklace won’t keep you alive forever, you’re not your parents you’re not invincible. Your mother thought she was looking where it got her!” Of course she went, I gripped on the door handle even tighter. “DON’T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT AGAIN!” I ran out of that house and I couldn’t breathe. I kept on running. I had to get away from here as far as possible. Everybody in my entire life has tried to tell me what to do since they died. They told me to be what I desire to be. I want to be Mage to help people so they don’t end up like me or my parents.

I miss you guys so much.

.

.

.

I was here at their grave, I hope you guys are doing okay up there. Sometimes I didn’t even understand why I see the things I do. I don’t understand my powers half of the time. Kira is getting stronger. That's good for her. I wish you guys were still here to teach me.”

 “How cute, the little spirit maiden is talking to her dead parents. I wonder if you can see them with powers like yours.” Who in the hell is this guy? I back away from him. Something wasn’t right I could sense it. “Go ahead and run like a helpless child like you couldn't save your parents.”

“You’re messing with me so you can get me angry not going to happen.” I had to figure out what he is really planning here. “Well aren’t you smart little things, and here I thought this was going to be an easy one. You Saki have very good insight so they say.” This guy was really looking for a fight and he was about to get one.

 “I’m curious what my new powers can be. I’m really looking forward to using them on you.” A blast of fire came towards me. I was able to dodge it in time. Maybe running wasn’t a bad idea after all I’m such a coward. I ran towards an alleyway. I had to get out of here with him following me. It's that or use my powers.

“You can’t hide forever.” Think Neon there has to be a way to get out of this mess. Just think of something you want to blow up. Okay that works that I blew up a trash can. I made a break for it. I climb up the building in the alleyway. I started running as fast I could.

“You think you could outrun me. These useless tricks on someone who knows so much.” I rolled my eyes. My necklace glowed and my magic shield went up. “You’re such an idiot.” He threw a dark magic ball towards me. My shield reflected it back. I start to run, maybe I can burn him out if he keeps using his magic. Everybody has a breaking point. “You’re a fast little one.” At that moment my magic shield broke. He pinned me down on the ground. Well Neon look what you got yourself into. “Well you like to play hard to get, I always can get down for that.” Pervert, disgusting. I kneed him into his crotch. I got up and made my escape. “Why you li-” I didn’t hear the rest of his sentence or didn't want to know. I took a breather. I probably shouldn’t tell anybody about this, anybody would believe me. I was still on top of the building. I had to get down before this guy got his strength back. Then I saw there was a trapped door to somewhere I went down it and got out of the building from there.

I started walking not really wanting to go back home. I decided to walk some more trying to get my mind off what just happened. I look at my watch, Kira must be up by now and worrying about me and where I am. I’ll have to admit that stiffness I feel when I’m here, it’s also nice out today. At that moment, I felt a cold breeze hit. It didn’t feel right at all. A gust of wind hit me and knocked me over. Really this dude he won’t leave alone. “You thought you had the last of me.” I tried to get up and he knocked me over again.

 “Using those silly little tricks of yours that  won’t save you. Just use your magic that you were born with.” If I did I wouldn’t stop. Everything started to hurt. I hated being weak. I tried to get up and I kept getting tossed around. I closed my eyes and let everything flow through me. I opened my eyes and I felt a burst of magical energy out. I closed my eyes and opened them, they were back to normal. Everything hurt. I couldn’t get up.

“Shit that hurt kid. You’ve got some real power stored up inside of you.” I could hear his footsteps come closer towards me. I flash something in the corner of my eye. “That’s not how you treat a lady.”

“You look like you need a little help there.” He held his hand out for me to grab. I took his hand to help me up. I nearly fell over, he grabbed me. “You’re safe now. I’m Kori. Kori Kazumi by the way.”

“I’m Neon. Neon Saki for your information.” Who was he? “Thanks.”

“No problem. Neon if I may ask you how did he end up fighting you in the first place..”

“I was just here and walking around and he came up to me and started fighting me.” Kori looked at me. “Did you say anything strange to you at all?”

“He started saying stuff about my powers and random supervillain stuff.” Kori chuckled.

“Well Neon you did a real number on him before I got here. You know I’ve heard the rumor about spiritual users that their bodies tend to be more fragile and they don’t live long lives. Everyone different Neon doesn’t mean you are going to be destined with the same fate.” How did he know? “Don’t worry I didn’t read your mind or anything. I just could tell from the look in your eyes.”

 “Neon!” Crap I’m in trouble now. “There you are what happened? Who’s the boy?” Kori dropped me out of fear of Kira. “Ow!”

“Who did this to you?” What’s with everybody and the questions today. “The knocked out dude over there and I had a little help. His name is Kori.” Kira pulled me into a hug. “I'm glad that nothing bad happened to you.”

“So Kori is your name right? Thanks for helping my sister. She can pack a punch.” “Umm. Actually I just got here to finish the job, I’ve been looking for Neon and by any chance Kira Fujimoto.”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Hey Kori you need to learn not to go running off like that. Oh man you stop the guy before I got here.” There was a guy with white hair and green eyes that showed up. Something telling me things are about to get really complicated.

“This is my friend Yuki Tachibanna and to answer your question Kira. We know each other and you two aren’t going to become Mages overnight.” Yep, things got more complicated. “How do you know us?”

 “Our parents knew each other Neon and Kira..” What!? Things are really getting confusing. I had no idea who this kid was. “How do you know that you aren’t lying to me?”

“You are just going to have to trust me.” He reached out his hand for me to grab. I look at him, with his brilliantly beautiful amethyst colored eyes. I can’t take his hand, something is not right. There is something about him so intriguing, I can trust with everything in me for some reason. I tried to get up on my own, he grabbed my arm. “Easy there.”

“Kira and I should go.”  

“Leaving us already Miss Neon.” Kori let go of my arm. “You don’t need to, you aren’t safe here. You or Kira.” Kori was trying to convince us to stay.

“Don’t come looking for me again.” I started walking away.

“Neon, I’m asking you to come with us I’m asking you to trust me.”

 “I can’t.” I continued to walk away from them, Kira grabbed me arm. “Neon, I don’t know what it is but I think we can trust these guys. We may not know them, there is something just about them, and you know that I’m not a good judge of character.” I looked at her, I stared at those big hazel oribs of hers. I sighed she wasn’t wrong.

 “I know how you feel.”

“Do you remember what your dad used to say about strangers they are friends that you haven't met yet.” I turned to face Kori and Yuki. Hopefully I’m not going to regret my decision.

“Kori, Yuki, I’ve decided that I can trust you.The both of us can.” Kori looked at me and smiled.

“I knew you would.” I knew from that moment my life would change forever it would never be the same again.

[finefeatheredfriend]

For the character meme: Romana?

oh my god i somehow maybe misread the ask meme thing and thought it was just gonna be one of those questions plus a character but nope, apparently it’s all of those questions - and now i feel a bit weird about sending someone A Lot of asks with just one question and a character but ANYWAY

Romana! my wife! my starblazing queen of the night! i love her! so thank you for sending me her! here you go:

what i like about them - every single thing. on a more serious note: her smile, her intelligence, her faces, her laughter, her humour, her endurance, her fashion sense, when her voice goes soft... there are just so many things

what i dislike about them - that whole imperiatrix business

favourite moment - the chair. definitely the chair. and The Scene, especially her growled ‘Braxiatel!!!!’ (and if this counts, the way she laughs when it’s actually Lalla and not Romana in the outtake). and lalla/romana trying to imitate leela. and the fanfiction. if i have to choose a moment from the tv series then maybe when she solves that “unsolvable” riddle box and grins all proud,

least favourite moment - when she approved the use of the oubliette of eternity (cause i don’t like what she did) and when she had to spend decades as a prisoner of the daleks (cause i don’t like what she had to go through)

a situation with this character that i’d like to see explored more - Brax’s dream au

an interesting au for this character - Brax’s dream au

a crossover - okay so how about iris wildthyme meets her and romana does Not know how to deal with this chaos

otp (or ot3+ etc... just favourite ship) - this was difficult cause there are two ships i love almost equally - and that’s Leela and Romana, and Leela and Romana and Narvin. okay fuck this it’s still too difficult i’m choosing both

other ships - the OT4, and, of course, Romana and Brax. i also really kind of like Romana and Livia...?

BROTP - i used to ship them before i got into gallifrey, but really the Doctor and Romana have to be the brotp, and they are

NOTP - hmmmm so. Romana and Rassilon. Romana and Pandora. and Romana and prydon (that’s the vampire dude right)

an assortment of headcanons - okay so i’m just gonna write whatever pops into my head cause idk if i have any headcanons i always think about...?

- one headcanon that i’m just gonna steal is this really cool situation where leela narvin romana and brax are on this planet that’s basically a magical paradise, and when narvin and leela announce their wedding plans romana gets a proposal from braxiatel but because he doesn’t have his white charger with him and so can’t carry her off into the sunset, she yells at him

- okay okay i’m gonna get serious now

- romana is the fanfic author that has the highest hits and kudos count on her stories on the gallifreyan go to fanfic site, maothreeix (i’m so sorry it’s 2am)

- she loves knitting and knits all of her favourite people all these sweaters and scarves and hats and gloves and i can’t decide if i like this more: a) she’s amazingly talented at it and comes up with complicated patterns herself cause knitting is basically just maths and science (one time she manages to get a secret message to her friends by convincing her enemies to let her send them a knitted scarf which they don’t know is actually knitted in code (knit=0, purl=1 so like binary code)) OR b) leela teaches her but she’s better with all the thinking and her hands won’t quite do what they’re supposed to do so everything ends up being kind of crooked but her favourite people love those knitted gifts with all their hearts and look at those little crooked parts fondly

- she put hallan in the freezer on one of the tardis’s and then forgot about him

- she’s secretly providing both the doctor and brax with blackmail material about the other one

- she, like any normal time lord not associating with those blooming ceruleans (hehe) (not as funny as you think eileen. go to sleep), she can’t stand plants - but she will fill her quarters with plants of all kinds, and spend days in forests and gardens filled with plants, cause it makes leela feel at home

- she keeps sending Narvin and Ace out on missions together cause she secretly enjoys watching him struggle to deal with this human but also loves how he slowly turns slips into the dad role with ace

okay there’s probably so much more but i almost made myself fall asleep thinking about all those cute adorable headcanons

thank you so much!! this was more fun than expected!! (i thought having to answer them all would be difficult and overwhelming but it really was fun!)

#wow this is loooong #this was a lot of fun #and i really do love romana so much #i love getting asks #thank you!! #romana

Pieces of the People We Love, Part 6. (The Borderlands Series)

Description: Not many people had the chance to see a vault or to mean anything in the world of Pandora. Will a hardly built relationship in the loneliness of the desert have the potential to change anything in the world of anarchy and chaos - or will the friends try to murder each other?

Chapter description: The journey is destined to be - or at least, so it seems. Alongside Scooter and your two favorite bandits, you had to leave the Hells Cauldron behind your back.

Warnings: A lot of guns, violence, reader is a tough badass - not a vault hunter tho. They’re badass and don’t give a fuck. And Scooter is a dumb bitch, as always. All Psychos and Fanatics are various Vine references - oh, what luck that reader can understand them since she is friends with Bandits.

Series master list:  H E R E

Shortly after what Walrus had told you, the Bandits lead you to their monstrous truck. At least he made Blindy and Rayray go with you and not some random idiots.

As Peter promised, they even packed you some food, money, and munition to go with. But there was something weirdly odd about Peter being so nice - if you would come alone, he would never help you. You were one hundred percent sure of that.

"What you're after, Walrus?" - You asked him quietly, aside from the boys, just before you were set to go on your journey. - "You don't do any of this just to warm your heart, do you? You're not such a good person. I know you, my man."

"Vaults are rumored to hold treasures with enormous value. Be a dear and grab me some while you'll be at it, will you?" - Walrus patted your shoulder with a fatherly smile. Of course. That motherfucker. He was a sly one - not caring that much about Scooter, his well being and meeting with his friends. All he cared about was the vault. And its treasures.

"I am not a VH, how many times I'm going to tell you? Scooter isn't one either, he's just... A local mechanic. That's what he truly is." - You tried to talk him down to let you just take your hands off the whole deal. But you knew how much could Peter be persistent.

"But you were aspiring to be one when you listened to all the podcasts on your ECHO from that guy named Tyron or what... Or am I wrong? Correct me." - The midget looked you right in the eyes. You could just murder him, take the car and then leave Scooter alone to continue his journey.

"I was ten, Peter. Vault Hunters aren't nothing but a bunch of posers. And you know that. How anyone like me ever got the chance to at least get closer to a thing like a vault?" - You mumbled, moving your metal arm uncomfortably. Vault hunters were a great part of the reason why did you had your metal arm in the first place. Damn monster hunting.

"Come on. It's an adventure, it's fun and you have a hell of debt in my bank. You have to do this. And if you'll be a naughty girl, Cowboy, my boys will drag you back to me." - He smiled and with his guards, four extra-armed psychos turned back to The Throne Room. You wanted to yell, shout, shot and kill something. Or somebody.

But you kept it all in and turned to crawl into their truck, to sit on one of the benches. You looked at Rayray who seemed to be extremely happy. Was there a reason for that?

"What? You reached the fourth quarter or what's your problem?" - You mumbled while Blindy and Scooter were settling down in the front of the car. Scooter seemed to be overly fascinated by their car type, so you just rolled your eyes and let him be.

"Back at it at Krispy Kreme." - He answered simply and you closed your eyes, laid down on the bench and prepared yourself for some sleep. It was only proper since it was already around midnight.

"Oh yeah, this is going to be a hell of a road trip, I tell you that." - You answered ironically and closed your eyes.

The next four days were a hell of a time to think. You were changing on the steering wheel pretty periodically - you were driving from the morning to midday, Scooter took the wheel after lunch to evening, Rayray was driving until midnight and Blindy himself was driving until you woke up.

You had... Fun. That was as unnatural as it seemed, but you had some fun. Sometimes, they randomly stopped from the quest to find Janey Springs, the most famous rocket engineer on Pandora, when they saw an interesting lookout. One night, you even took a short break in a local pub to have some beer and small talk. Rayray wasn't too happy about that since he had to stay sober.

To your surprise, these guys were fun. They were telling you stories and answered every question you had - you played poker with them one night. And Scooter himself wasn't too bad. He even snatched your playlist from the car you drove into Ham's Creek, so you could jam around to Rapture while driving.

You drove through deserts, forests, mountains which were snowy and even through the miles and miles of Eridium-cracked lands, where Eridium was in huge rocks around the way. And then you drove through even more deserts. It got repetitive over the week, yeah, but as you checked, the COV was still preparing to set to Athenas. Wherever Scooter's vault hunters were, they still didn't have the chance to kill them. Which was good.

After a whole week in their car, you finally reached the destination. It was a town in a cave, very far away from where you started your journey. Its name was Hollow Point and your rocket engineer was supposed to be there.

"Okay man, I will take ya to ma old workshop which I owned with Janey before I, you know, died. Be nice to them, okay?" - Scooter looked especially at you and you rolled your eyes. You weren't about to chew their heads away or anything. You just wanted that damn rocket.

"Fine. I won't try to kill her if she looks at me. Happy?" - You rolled your eyes like a professional and Scooter sighed at your behavior. You were now allies - you weren't friends, but wouldn't get him killed either. It was a thin ice situation, but at least it was something.

"Ya can try, but her girlfriend won't approve that and maybe cuts ya skull opened up with her shield. She's like scary-scary shit. Be aware. Ya shotgun won't help ya against Athena." - He warned you and your small party slowly went down the hill to Hollow Point. It was a silent town - there was a human being here and there, but overall, nothing was happening.

It was almost a ghost town. There was a small pub which you walked as far away from as you possibly could because of its stink and exterior. There was a doctor's office and a gun shop - but it was people you never heard of. Some sister Nina and Mrs. Gunslinger.

Suddenly, everyone stopped in front of a closed mechanic's garage. There was Scooter's name on it, but the light wasn't shining. The shop looked to be closed for a long time now, full of boxes and webs. You didn't like that feeling that anyone's home.

"Is Janey totally supposed to be here?" - You looked inside and made sure that the hat won't fall off your head. There was no one. - "Scooter, did you just dragged us through the whole Pandora to look at your old, abandoned workshop?"

"No, no, no, I swear to God! She's here, man. I'm super duper sure." - Scooter looked scared at you because he knew that you're furious at that moment.

"You think I'm gonna believe you such bullshit? Oh, you're so in trouble now. I thought we're allies!" - You rose your eyebrows and demanded the explanation with the way you stood.

"We are! Janey is here, we just need to find her. Be patient, Cowboy." - He was still walking backward, and now, you for him in a tight corner. An ideal place to kill him. And you were about to.

"Imma about to kill you, Scooterboy, Imma about to kill you so hard." - You rose your hand to pick up the shotgun on your back, clenching your jaws together. Just as you loaded the gun, something flew next to your head, you were barely able to somehow jump to the side.

"What are you two doing here? We don't kill people here since three years ago." - A robotic voice spoke to you from the darkness. You tried to search for the source, but that someone was hidden in the shadows. - "The mayor doesn't have enough money to rent the Hyperion machines. What are you doing in front of my garage?" - The person put their hand high and a red light started to shine on her forearm. The thing flew directly back and clicked silently at that moment.

"See? I told ya that Janey and Athena would still be here, man." - Scooter got up from the corner and ran away from you as possible. - "Thanks for savin' ma life, Athena. Nice to see ya, ya still kissin' a lot with Janey?" - He disappeared to the darkness to greet someone. When he came back to your small group again, a woman was standing next to him.

She looked dangerous in some way. Let's face it - she was terrifying. But staying in your character, you just pressed your lips together and furrowed at her.

The woman, whom Scooterboy was calling Athena, had violet hair and a cute face. But the cute face and big eyes weren't making her any less not dangerous looking. She may be thin, but those thighs were enough to snap your neck instantly. You took a few steps back and fused the shotgun again.

"Is it you, Scooter?" - She snapped the next moment and wondered. Then Athena put a hand on his shoulder and carefully scanned his face with her eyes. - "We thought you're dead, oh my lord?" - She mumbled unbelievably and hugged him. She truly knew him, but no way she had something with Scooter. Athena was out of his league.

"And no way I'm going to answer your question. And don't ever touch me again, please." - She mumbled and turned at you, Blindy and Rayray standing in the background. You were pretty taken away by the way Athena embraced Scooter. - "Who that?"

"Ma new friends, Athena, say hi. That's Cowboy and she has a few temper issues and a hothead. Those men, they are Bandits, but like... Cool ones, ya get it? One name's Rayray and the other one's Blindy. They saved me and help me to find you two." - Scooter pointed all of you proudly and you nodded to Athena, clipping the shotgun back on your back. Boys were clearly too scared of her, so they just acknowledged her person.

"Nice to meet y'all. I suppose you're searching for Janey?" - Athena walked to one of the building's door and opened up the door. There was some music playing inside while Scooter and Athena were chatting. Athena seemed to be in a good mood just because Scooter showed up.

Your deal with Walrus suddenly came upon your mind - maybe Scooter was a truly close friend of the vault hunters and could get you close, after all? That would be nice. Janey and Athena could ride back home just like that. That would be incredible.

Janey was in the back dancing in a rhythm of some rock song, not paying attention that someone entered the building. She had a messy garage, you needed to say that - oil was everywhere, just as her stuff tossed around like wrenches and shit. Janey was a genius at her worst - genius, but messy as fuck.

"I bring you a surprise, dear." - Athena sighed and trailed off to the next door, leaving you there with Janey.

From under the car, a blonde woman rolled on a small skateboard or whatever it was. You noticed the scars on her uncovered belly, neck and arm; she was probably set on fire or some other shit. That was freaking you out a bit. Janey was apparently a strong woman.

But when she stood up to look at you, she looked like a little loving pure ball of smile and energy.

"Hey, what can I do for ya?" - Janey cleaned up her fingers with a cloth thrown over her shoulder. Her stare almost ended up on you, but then she noticed Scooter standing there. She was amazed and wonderstruck since she stopped and looked only at him. - "Have I fell asleep again?"

Then they also went into a tight hug so Janey would definitely know that he's real-real. It was a nice, friendly moment. The last thing you needed to do was to convince Janey - to build you a rocket.

Ooh I'd like to hear more about your equivalent of the sanders sides

Ok, if you insist. So, in the order I figured out their names inMoralitySo my morality is called Aethelin, a name that means snake (Her name is a shortening of Aethelind). The snake name is actually a triple pun, since the prefix of my username, Serpentine, is my gemsona (specifically Lizardite Serpentine), I’m in Slytherin according to Pottermore (Slytherins can be quite family orientated) and a pun on the twin headed snake.The twin headed snake pun isn’t on my own morality (What I mean is, it’s not dubious), but rather for LARP, where both my own morality and the morality of the character I’m portraying sort of have to interact for a believable performance, and/or a friend is hurt by the performance for whatever reason, ie, not caring if a city drowned because an island sunk (which actually happened and now my character is a refugee) and then my own morality has to come out to assure them it’s not how I think at all.Her base colour is greenCreativityMar is called Mar for two reasons; the mind can be like an ocean (La mar. It’s also a hidden fun fact; the more creative you are, the more likely you are to be susceptible to mental disorders) and Mar happens to be my first internet nicknames (a shortening of an OC’s name. Marena>Mar)Her base colour is blue AnxietySorrel has a long shot name tbh. I had a black velvet dress with red roses embroidered on it that I really wanted to use for a side, and I didn’t want any base colours to match up with Thomas’ sides (which is why Mar didn’t get it). I used it with Sorrel because of the idea of thorns poking in and out, showing how anxiety and fear can hurt you (my unconfirmed depression) but also protect you as your gut instinct.As for her name, I wanted a plant name, but I didn’t want an obvious name (Rose, Tulip, Iris, etc) and I also didn’t want the first letters to match with other sides (Azalea and Marigold were out) but I also wanted the base colour to match the name loosely. After some time scrolling baby name websites, I came across the name Sorrel (usually red flowers with many shapes, my favourite being Jamaican Sorrel) and had the kind of feeling where the name just clicked as hers.Her base colour is redLogicKyna, a name that means Intelligent (with a Gaelic origin), is a… Side with a weirder concept. Kyna is made of solid and liquid alloys, all containing gold, making her very heavy in comparison to the others. If the head feels heavy and I need to lie down for a nap, it’s likely Kyna trying to get me to sleep, usually because I pulled an allnighter. She means well and often comes up with puns, such as scaredy cat Lime (“furring up”).Her base colour is gold/yellowDeceitP͜͏̀͜á̵̢̀͡n̢d͢ǫ̡ŗ̵͟͞a̷͞͞’s name is of course based on Pandora’s box; open it and you can release chaos. P̛͞a̶̶̧͠n̷̸̕d̷̀͏͟͡o̶͝͠ŕ̨a̷̢̢’s name came about after seeing the post that tells you what happens if everyone spoke their every thought; we all get arrested, murdered or shot on sight because the mind is a weird place that thinks of some seriously messed up things; if all my thoughts are stored away in a box, then I’m safe. If the box opens, see the above situation aka chaos breaks loose.Also, as a note, P̶̢͢à̸n̢͢͝͡͠d͡o̶̢̡͘͝r͟͜͠͡a͝͝’s name always gets the zalgo generator treatment due to the chaotic screwing up of words it can do, and it’s usually different every time. If it’s written on paper or carved into stone, it’s written/carved the same way as the first time, but differs from sheet to sheet/rock to rock.Her base colour is purpleBonus: SleepImagine a girl in dirty clothes but looks cute and always sleepy and you get my state of sleep. Her name is Nyxx. While Nyxx is ultimately a state of mind/body and not a side, she’s still counted by Kyna as a side in retaliation of the time Pluto was changed to a dwarf planet and not a planet. Basically, Nyxx and Kyna are best friends and Kyna WILL include her so she feels involved.Nyxx has two base colours due to being a state; gold/yellow (Kyna gets me to sleep) and blue (Mar helps her with dreams).Hopefully that helped •w•

A tale of three bottles

//I promise I’ll never write horrors like this again//sofe cute Jerejean and a whole lot of dumb//

It was a moment three bottles in the making.

The first was a bottle of cheap wine, bought from a corner store at midnight in a foreign town far, far away from everything, haphazardly slung in the basket next to two microwaveable meals and a packet of gummy bears. It wasn't just the wine that got Jean talking. It was the stars, the lingering smell of rain, the few lost notes drifting in the rain, the unfamiliar taste of freedom, mixed with Jeremy's kisses lingering on his lips. His mouth, like pandora's box, once opened couldn't be sealed again that night. He chatted. Chatting, such a revoltingly bratty word, Jean though. Yet it felt so liberating, to throw caution into the rain-scented air and, for the first time since he could remember, be truly, unapologetically Jean. As the level of wine dipped lower and lower, the secrets got deeper. "You know, " Jean said, the grin tugging unfamiliarly at the corner of his lips, " Kevin likes you." "We're friends, of course, he likes me," Jeremy replied with a toothy grin. "No, I mean to say... likes likes you?" "Oh" The noise that escaped Jean's lips at Jeremy's surprised expression was so alien he almost dropped the wine. Was that... a giggle? Holy Eiffel tower I'm drunker than I thought, and even worse, on bad wine, he scolded himself. The damage had been done though. And he needed to fix it fast. "Kevin has good taste." Jeremy's smile returned with full force and Kevin wasn't mentioned again that evening.

The second could have been less than a bottle, but it was probably more. A series of shots taken at an Exy gala that no one truly wanted to attend. Jeremy had shaken so many hands his entire arm went numb halfway through the evening. He wanted to escape back to the hotel room, pull the covers over his head and sleep till morning, preferably with Jean curled up next to him. But there wasn't small talk to be made and endless rounds of shots to be downed and soon Jeremy realized he was having a lot more fun than he should be and Jean was there teasing him and there was something he couldn't quite remember and amidst all this chaos, the plan was born.

In the third bottle, the champagne was unnecessary really. There definitely was a bottle, the most expensive looking one they could "borrow " from the kitchens but Allison would have still turned her nose up at this payment for her help, if not for the fact that she had put serious money on Kevin embarrassing himself at the gala, and with the night coming to a close, she was running out of options.

So the stage was set. And three bottles were a more than fair payment for the look on Kevin's face, when, upon opening the door he came face to face with a very drunk Jeremy, leaning seductively into the doorframe wearing nothing but a lace thong, fox-shaped nipple pasties and a very flirtatious expression.

It was a moment Jean never forgot. Especially because the pictures taken were great blackmail material for years to come.
