Important Announcement
The most recent thread, The Unseen, is officially being declared non-canon. I'm planning on overhauling a lot of lore with Nobody and her cast of characters especially, more on that eventually.
The Unseen was meant to be a relatively brief crossover event between my various characters, it started around Halloween last year and since then I've sporadically continued the story. It simply wasn't working to my satisfaction and I'd basically dropped it unofficially until now. I may well come back to the plot itself, but I wasn't enjoying writing this version specifically and as such it's being scrapped.
Please disregard any and all events following Nobody's return to Internia for the time being.

It had been several months since moving to Creatorverse, and Katra still had no idea what to make of it. Besides a brief appearance in a now-cancelled tournament, she hadn't seen much of the city.
When Nobody, her new...room-mate? Mentor? The woman was rather evasive on anything specific. In any case, when it became clear she lacked much in the way of food and drink for physical beings, she leapt on the chance for a grocery run.
"How much did she give us again?"
"No clue." Katra sighed as she walked on her way back home. She held about six bags comfortably filled with whatever looked good. She didn't have any favourite foods really - her diet had usually been strictly controlled. "The card went through okay, so it seems all legitimate. But no ATM gives me a clear number."
"Wonder where she gets the money. Assassination work seems like her thing."
"If she were an assassin, we'd be dead." Katra reminded her spectral companion. Gold was more docile since the tournament., perhaps taking Nobody's advice on working together to heart. Or perhaps just biding her time before something big. Katra tried not to question it. "She's not after our bounty."
"He wouldn't be the first assassin to not kill you. Remember thar catboy you like?"
"Yukimi's an exception." She took a few more moments to register what her companion had said. "A-and I don't like him, okay?! Stop s-saying that." Gold barked out a laugh that Katra chose to ignore.
Which became rather simple to do when it was abruptly cut off.
"Oh hey, it works!" Katra spun, turning to an alley where she saw...herself? A grinning mirror image of her holding what looked like some kind of remote. "Soul interference sure is handy, huh? Betcha your friend's all quiet now! You're welcome!"
Katra dropped her shopping bags immediately, tensing and readying herself for movement. "Who are you?!" She demanded, sounding perhaps more desperate for an answer than she would've liked.
"I'm you, silly!" The doppelganger insisted. "And him, and her, and them. I'm whoever I need to be! But since that's unhelpful, let's go with Avi for now." It bowed theatrically. If this were an assassin, she suspected it was of the deranged actor variety. Surprisingly common in her experience.
"Deranged? How rude!" The doppelganger pouted. "I come out all this way only for you to criticise me in your head? Not cool." It shook its head. Katra's body shook in turn.
"You read minds?"
"Somebody does, and I'm everybody!" Avi extended its arms out as it spoke gleefully. "People have all sorts of powers in this city, and I have a taste of a lot of 'em. I only have your looks on the outside though. Can't get more until later."
"What happens later?" Katra took a fighting stance, expecting the answer. She wasn't ready for Avi to move faster than any eye of hers could blink, however.
"It'll be more fun to show you...!" Katra barely had time to turn before her vision was eclipsed with black. There was a piercing pain in her head, presumably from an attack. She couldn't tell.
Everything went dark.
.
..
...
...
"Katra? Pick up, please. I can't seem to reach you any other way and this infernal contraption is annoying at best."
"You're not there, are you? Dammit. Now I have to make some more calls."
.
..
...
Katra's phone sat in the street, it's power draining and cracked screen flickering.
She couldn't hear it.
She was busy listening to them.
"The subject has been obtained successfully, director." A muffled man's voice. It sounded low and strange, as though it was speaking without a mouth. She couldn't see anything.
"Excellent work, Doctor McGee. Your pet project has outdone itself." A woman's voice, strong and firm. Yet there was somehow also a weightless quality to it. It floated to your ears yet demanded your attention. "The data acquired from the primary target was helpful, then?"
"Yup!" Her own voice. Familiar yet alien. "The whole Z and P incident worked wonders! Now we know exactly how to deal with soul interference. I'd thank them, but I don't think they like me." It sounded almost sad about that for a moment.
"Their favour is not required, Avi." The woman said calmly, comforting the doppelganger. "Only the results matter in an experiment. Opinions are irrelevant."
"You're just sayin' that!" Katra heard her own mouth stick it's tongue out playfully. "Probably jut 'Cause she'd hate this, right Vo-" Katra tried not to flinch and thus give away her consciousness as she heard a sharp gasp escape the doppelganger, followed by a metallic impact.
"Call me director, pest." She could feel there were eyes on her as the voice spoke again.
"After all, you never know who's listening."
Katra struggled against it, but a hint of a whimper escaped her mouth unwillingly.
Screams came next.

i rb'ed a post about how to put fanfic writing on your resume without saying, fanfic x smut on your cv, lol, and i liked how reasonable the responses were (there was an actual hr person who responded too, which was great) but i thought it was just a cute idea. except this week i had a two day workshop to create a document with my working group at work, and i found that when i just sit down to write the words just come. i was saying what i was typing while sharing my screen on the conference room display and i just locked into the flow of writing so fast. bonus - my colleagues were all like:
Tumblr media
and singing my praises and saying stuff like, If you ever want to write a book you could probably write like, several a year! It took a lot of discipline to not blurt out, MY LONG FIC ON A03 FOR MY RIVERDALE FANTASY AU IS ALMOST 300K WORDS LONG. But yeah, fic writing is actually a useful activity for skilling up in a completely different writing arena.

I hate when stores have items locked up. I know people around here are thieves, but maybe it wouldn’t be so easy to steal if you weren’t operating your store on a skeleton crew and there was always somebody up front. Maybe you should simply invest in guards if theft is such a concern for you, instead of making me run around and look for the single person scheduled, so they can look for a key to unlock a case so I can buy fucking eye drops. Not even anything expensive. I hate CVS so much it’s unreal. I have half a mind to just shatter one of these cases next time I see them.

So I got a job offer but I. Have been putting off calling back HR because they won’t move forward with letting me look over the contract or anything until I give a verbal commitment and honestly it’s so fucked I’ve never been more upset to get a job offer

idk the thing that has brought me the most happiness and stability in my life is the acceptance that everything is going to one day disappear. no compliment is permanent, no love is either, hatred isnt permanent either, no amount of work i put in to willingly "change" will amount to anything but momentary changes, so my inner confidence should derive from the knowledge of who i am as a person and what i stand for and if im proud of myself. nobody will be there to always be proud of me, and nobody will hate me when im bad so i can avoid doing it myself. everything needs to be internal, because the self i can control and keep in check, the outside ultimately all means nothing.

EVERYTHING BELOW THIS POST IS NOW OFFICIALLY NON-CANON!
Well...sort of.
To explain, the character of Nobody is being rebooted. I've found she became a character too difficult to actually use for anything given the complexities of her lore and story, as well as her abundance of powers and skills.
So, I'm undoing things and starting from scratch. Kind of.
Here's the short version - all knowledge of Nobody has been erased from the multiverse, and Nobody herself was seemingly killed in a terrible and now unknown battle. I've been referring to it in my head as "The War That Never Was".
Nobody as she was has died, but a new version of her has reformed, lacking any of her prior self's memories and experiences. All characters previously associated with Nobody - such as Katra, Delgra, Nao, etc - lack memory of her and have had their lives reset to before they ever met her. Nao's case I'm not 100% sure on, I'll come back to that at a later date.
All of the prior threads and stories about Nobody have now essentially not occurred. Events like Nobody's past and origin are in a state of flux - it's unclear what is and isn't still true about her past.
