Shipping Calculus! Live Updates from C2E63
My initial personal notes for this sort of—ended, at a very specific part of the episode, which says something about how stressful combat was. Thank you to @Alarnia @softazelma @handelgamer and Meenah for helping out with data entry. Masterpost here, data entry here. 
Corrections: An additional +5 to Caleb/Caduceus from last week for “I guess I want what you want” from Caduceus. That’s a lot
-30 to Everyone/Detective Work. What’s that saying? Assumptions make an ass out of you and me? Despite their sincere and assiduous questioning and investigations, the M9 are made to learn that lesson the hard way, with everything they think they know from the scout to the “drow” to the blond dude to battle strategy turning out to be horribly mistaken.
+5 to Fjord/Caduceus as Fjord specifically inquires “Caduceus, how are you feeling” like the considerate worrywart he is before the Bright Queen meeting, and Caduceus getting very excited about finally having the money to pursue his personal Sword project for resident Sword-Swallower Fjord when they get paid. Caduceus supporting Fjord’s ideas, and joining the Micro Plan team opposed to Beau and Caleb’s Macro Plan Team.
-10 to Nott/Being A Team Player. On the one hand, this sweetheart offered to stay up all night on watch and take exhaustion so that her precious friends could get some uninterrupted sleep. On the other hand, she encountered a peak #Jenga moment, unfortunately not making the same WIS save Vax did, and stuck a bunch of arrows into Yasha. (also -30 to Nott/Yasha, with “I never liked you” and “Stop. Fucking. Hitting. Me.”)
+11 to Nott/Jester as Jester rescues Nott from the Charm! And is also hella charming herself, all “We never said that Nott” and playfully bumping into her when Nott talks about not trusting goblins (+2 to Nott/Fantasy Racism), plotting every type of Shenanigan together from tattoos to forming their own country, and shouting “HOW MUCH” at the exact same time when they get paid by the Bright Queen. They’re so much on the same page it’s terrifying.
+13 to Caleb/Fjord/Jester A pretty amazing week for this triad, between all three of them being Strategic Masterminds in effusive agreement with each other, over everything from being in the building to letting the attack go off without a hitch to murdering everyone in the meeting. Caleb and Jester together saving Fjord from his abyssal attempts to stealth, Caleb and Fjord’s Mutual Worrywarting over Jester’s long absence, and both Fjord and Caleb’s spellwork being employed to Save Jester on her moth mission.
+15 to Fjord/Jester but Fjord’s version of spellcaster-to-the-rescue was a lot more flashy, and he suffered being thrown around and bruised for her sake. That’s love. Jester notices this and thanks him, to his extreme flusterment, gives him credit for the Gold Chain Mercenary information, and plans with him as a Disguising Duo to fake being the hobgoblin and drow together, and we all know that those who engage in Jester Plots gain points. Points taken away because the spying/mole conversation was probably somewhere around the opposite of cute, you cannot convince me I’m supposed to enjoy listening to people discussing checking out moles for diseases. Like…no. That’s gross and not in the fun way.
+4 to Fjord/That One Gnoll as he gets thrown—head over heels! into the alleyway. Also of note is Fjord saying “You’re strong!” in what sounds like a suspiciously flirty drunken tone, while bruised and spreadeagled on the street. We learn more about you every day, Fjord.
+17 to Caleb/Jester as Jester tries very hard to employ her spellwork and Pass Without a Trace to Save The Caleb (#ItPaysToBeADamselInDistress), Caleb’s buffing as usual serving as an Expression of Affection, and Caleb coming up with Goth Moth Shenanigans for Jester to spy with, demonstrating not only his implicit trust in her but also how keenly he’s tuned into Jester’s preferred aesthetic, of all things. Turning to Jester first for help with the dragonborn, Jester elbowing the shit out of Caleb, and looking to Caleb to count out their gold like the fey child he is because she’s tuned into his quirks as well! Discussing making a coffee table together! Jester alone trying to play dumb about the Scourger business even as Nott Fuck-Secrets the Brave puts a blinking sign over Caleb when they’re with the Bright Queen, perhaps sensing (a beat late) that maybe Caleb isn’t super eager to talk about that all the time.
+7 to Yasha/Jester as even Moth!Jester knows how to make Yasha feel like a fairy princess, alighting on her finger like the soft and thoughtful gal she is.
+8 to Caleb/Fjord as they continue to work Very Well together with crowd control and murdering poor defenseless scouts and their horses. Fjord being very much “on the same page” with Caleb re: everything, except maybe the horse-killing, for which we may expect point losses as he makes plans to talk to that motherfucker (before or after he talks to that motherfucker, though?) But, use of Counterspell, that quintessential Cool Caleb spell? That’s Fjord’s magical crush to the rescue, though point loss for them all letting the “drow” get away anyway.
-4 to Caduceus/Metaphors. He thinks making barrels is like putting on pants, and gets horribly muddied. Then, just when he thinks he has a handle on that analogy, Beau changes it around on him and starts talking about wagon wheels! He just can’t win.
-6 to Caleb/Task Switching This boy does not respond well to sudden changes in plans. You tell him to stop the dragonborn, he will pick the Most Effective Method Of Accomplishing That, subtlety and consequences be damned. Does not seem to process that they are not in fact planning on murdering/imprisoning Moro and her employee when the fighting is over, because They Already Discussed This, That Was The Plan, Why Are You Changing The Plan?
+8 to Caleb/Caduceus. A tumbleweed of a week for these two, unfortunately, except that Caleb chose Caduceus for his Special Dunamancy Buffing (Skin Contact! Magical Expressions of Love!), and Caduceus finishing off the enemy Caleb had been trying and trying for ages to murder—appropriately, with fire. Proving their compatibility in how neither of them mind hanging around the smell of rotting flesh, which unlike moles is romantic because it’s Goth.
+6 to Beau/Yasha Beau attempts to grab arrows out of thin air to save Yasha, and hot damn would that have been a slam dunk in points if she succeeded. These two continuing their Battle Couple vibes, with Beau looking to Yasha to figure out what the hell is going on and supporting her in her fight against the assholes.’
+16 to Beau/Jester for flirty hellos in the midst of battle, and Jester instantly reassuring Beau that Dairon won’t kill her, she’s so powerful and strong. Beau thinking of only Jester in her Very Shouty Plotting, thinking Jester can totally singlehandedly handle the whole rendezvous situation by herself and with two spells, because Jester is That Cool.
+350 to Beau/Stress (and +20 to Beau/Nerdom) as Beau’s copious anxiety-notes come to the rescue while they speak with the Bright Queen. Anxiously admitting she “thought of that” to every doomsday scenario presented to her about Dairon, half-screaming about the possibility of being murdered, and shrinking into herself as she says that maybe—maybe she can get away with not telling Dairon everything. Caleb employing Frumpkin to scarf around her because she’s starting to become even more of a basket case than he is. (Also, +12 to Caleb/Cat-Shaped Creatures, with this, Frumpkin surveillance, and cat-beats-horse badassery)
+10 to Fjord/His Inner Bard because apparently rhyming is just his thing now—addicted after “How much time, Keen Mind?” we now have the instantly iconic “Analysis Paralysis” and the return of the horrible, wailing Song of Distraction which seems specifically calibrated to induce vertigo and shut down brain function.
+10 to Caleb/Essik as Essik repeatedly vouches for the M9’s trustworthiness and capabilities “…and my tutelage.” Because the Bright Queen definitely needed to know that last part. Said in a sufficiently odd tone of voice that the Bright Queen “gives him a look” because she knows her spymaster, and he has apparently been sucked dry of subtlety for this conversation
+12 to Jester/The Bright Queen because Jester is fixated on what the Bright Queen is wearing at all given times, apparently, and gets squirmy and blushy over blue shimmery gems, and she cannot bear to leave without telling the Bright Queen how beautiful her outfit is, gosh, and daydreaming about tattooing her, which would involve contact with Skin and the possibility for Undress as well. Jester also outs herself as secretly wanting the BQ to be her sugar momma, hoping for an expensive dress to be gifted to her in return for the information they shared.
+25 to the Mighty Nein/The Skeletons in Their Closet as the Mighty Nein channel Leaky Tap vibes by bedding down with a mystery corpse. This time, one they can eat, theoretically. Also, that business with the Scourgers, and Orphanmaker???
-100 to The Mighty Nein/Breakfast. It’s a pattern now guys. You don’t eat your breakfast, you get beat to shit. Learn your lesson and get your morning calories in.

Prime numbers for the ask game!
THANK you ryn and yes i did have to look up a list of prime numbers to do this. funny story, 1 is not prime! and there’s lots of them so under the cut:
2. Who in the party would your character trust the most with their life?
Bird trusts Faeln, our cleric. Pretty sure every single person in the party would give the same answer. 
3. What are your character’s core moral beliefs?
Elodie believes first that people should help each other, and second that all tyrants should be dead. 
5. Does your character have any biases for or against certain races?
Bird really does not! She was raised in the very diverse Many Hosts of Igrathad in southern Xhorhas. She does have a particular fondness for orcs because the woman who (mostly) raised her is an orc. 
7. Describe your character’s current appearance: clothes, armor, scars they’ve picked up along the journey, etc.
Elodie’s got a cute yellow and brown dress that has her mithril armor under it, Frodo Baggins style. She’s wearing boots, leggings, her lute slung across her back and her holy symbol on a bracelet around her wrist. 
11. Describe your character’s current relationship with the player character sitting to your right.
We’ve been playing over zoom so I don’t have a “to the right” so I rolled a d4 to pick. Bird has a deep respect for our paladin, Tanvir--she felt a kinship with him ever since they both got knocked out right next to each other in the very first battle. He’s a little standoffish and clearly dealing with some shit, but when Bird lost control of her werewolf form, it was Tanvir who was holding her and making sure she was okay when she woke up, so at this point she’d pretty much die for him. (And Bird doesn’t know this yet, but I, Hannah, know that Tanvir is the only other person in the party who has been carefully tracking moon cycles.....the full moon is in two days and i am SO excited to see what Happens Next)
13. Does your character ever want to “settle down” with a spouse, children, house, etc.?
Sure, Elodie will gladly settle down! Once King Bertrand Dwendal is dead and Wildemount is free! 
17. What is your character’s favorite season?
Bird likes spring. The whole world waking up again :) Plus there’s big thunderstorms, which she loves. 
19. Where in the world does your character most want to visit?
Elodie would love to go to Tal’Dorei, she knows the Golden Grin is more connected and respected there and she would love to be in that environment.
23. If your character could go back in time and change one thing about their life, what would it be?
Bird would not get bit by the werewolf. But she’d still run in to try to help the man they were attacking, she’d just be...more careful about it. 
29. What are your character’s hobbies and interests outside of their class?
Elodie genuinely loves music, even beyond being a way to contact her secret society. She also is a very good cook and loves to make food for people.
31. what stereotypical group role does your character play in the party? (The Mom, the Mess, the Comic Relief, etc. Optionally: What role would your character play in the “Five Man Band” structure?)
Lately Bird has really been the Mess of the group because we’re dealing with her backstory shit first, apparently. In the five man band she’d probably be the Smart Guy, although it’s wisdom rather than intelligence. no high-int characters here!! 
37. What stereotypical role would your character play in a high school AU/if they attended a normal high school? (Nerd, jock, bully, goth, etc.)
Elodie would be the sweet but innocent religious girl with the secret wild side. (is that a common trope? or did I just know a whole bunch of them in real life?)
41. Does your character care about how they’re perceived by others? How do they change themselves to fit in with other people?
Bird really needs people to percieve her as “useful,” as pulling her own weight. And she needs to feel like she actually is doing that, as well. But she doesn’t really care if they like her--9 charisma at work, baby. 
43. What is your character’s scent? (Bonus points for a description that sounds like it could be from a bad [or awesome] fanfic.)
Elodie smells like vanilla and wide open spaces on warm summer days. :)
47. How did your character spend their childhood? Where did they grow up/who were their childhood friends?
Bird was a foundling, and raised communally, so she had many people protecting and caring for her, but she also always felt slightly on the outside, as the culture of her village isn’t big on overt expressions of love. But she has many good memories of running through forests and fields with the other kids around her age. 
53. What is your character’s favorite spell? If they don’t use spells: what is their favorite personal weapon/combat maneuver/skill/etc.?
Elodie’s been prepping Calm Emotions pretty much every day. She tries not to use it on people without their consent, but she loves being able to make people (herself included) feel better when they’re panicking or upset, and she likes the idea of being able to diffuse situations before they ever turn into combat, although that situation hasn’t arisen yet. 
59. Does your character value their own best interest more than the party’s?
For Bird, before the werewolf incident, yes. Now, she values her party members, although she doesn’t value their purpose of “elite Xhorhasian mission squad” like, at all. She doesn’t give a shit about the Dynasty, but she does give a shit about these people. 
61. How does your character imagine the way they will die?
Oh, boy. Elodie imagines it too often. Some sort of self-sacrifice--casting Warding Bond or using her Unity Domain Channel Divinity to take way too much damage. Alternatively, facing down a group of Righteous Brand in a hopeless situation and shouting “death to tyrants” in their faces. (god. i love this character.) 
67. What is your character the most envious about, regarding anyone in the party?
if my as-a-player theory that Tanvir is also a lycanthrope but has WAY more control over his condition than Bird does, that will immediately shoot to the top, but right now, she just envies Tatyan’s sense of direction and purpose. 
71. Describe how your character feels about the party’s current situation/objective/etc.
I’m not even going to TOUCH Everything That Happened Last Session because we still have no clue where we are, but before that, Elodie feels very good about reuniting Skala with their brother because she can see how important it is to Skala and she thinks Skala deserves a win, and she feels SO good about getting to Port Damali and connecting with the other Grinners to take down the Myriad. 
73. If your character knew that they were going to die in a month, how would they spend the rest of their life?
Bird would like....climb a mountain. Like, she would ditch everyone in her life and just go be in nature. It’s lonely and a little sad, but she’d be at peace. 
79.  What unusual talents does your character possess?
Elodie can play a handful of songs VERY well, and she can lie a lot better than people expect of her. 
83. How far is your character willing to go to pursue the “greater good”? Do they believe in a greater good at all?
Bird is much more neutral and less driven by goodness than most of my characters, but she does believe protecting and helping people is very important, and she’d go very far for that, even for strangers. Not big on Big Ideals, though.
89. What is your character’s relationship with magic? Are they scared of it, wish to know more about it, indifferent to it?
Elodie loves magic, but believes if you have access to power, you have a responsibility to be using it to help people rather than to suit your own gains or consolidate power.
97. What is most important to your character: health, wealth, or happiness?
For Bird, it’s health, which she connects with being powerful, being capable, being in-control.

Thoughts and questions on Pesterquest Volume 5, routes 1 and 2!
also: sollux for volume 6 (route 2) you (might have) heard it here first
-The trolls' Prospit is still perfectly fine when we see it, as we still haven't done away with SGRUB. In Kanaya's route we see Alternia's Reckoning, the Land of Little Cubes and Tea, and our favorite rainbow drinker fan hunting for frogs in the clouds; meanwhile in Karkat's we straight up see his dreamself- who winks out of existence when he wakes up. John's did that too when he woke up after Prospit fell on the Battlefield, but I had thought dreamselves just teleported to their dream room's bed when the waking self woke up.
-Actually, I'm pretty sure we've seen dreamselves just existing on the moons when their counterpart is awake: John's before Descend, Vriska's in Make Her Pay, Dave's being on the computer and of course Dirk switching between dream and real selves, Roxy's flying out of Derse, Jane's when she dream revived (??), and maybe more I'm not remembering. Of course, dead dreamselves such as Aradia's or Jake's can't go anywhere.
-Possible candidates for Volume 6 basically trolls who were namedropped or had a cameo: Sollux (VERY likely imo, he had a good bunch of screentime in Karkat's route), Terezi (very likely too, as she's also a Peak Protagonist troll), Gamzee (less likely than the other two imo, though MC's been to his hive already), Vriska (could or could not........ it's a gam8le.)
-Worldbuilding: *happens* Me: *burning through my good note-taking pens*
~ROUTE 2~
-Now to Kanaya's route proper: she's got sunproof dresses just lying around. Very nice sunproof dresses, in fact. (the clothes collecting tradition goes on...)
-Rose immediately comes up on MC's mind when they look at Kanaya's room, though she's dealing with another Light player herself. Whose cameo here was practically expected, in hindsight. ::::)
-We find out that Vriska had been planning the whole Pupa Pan thing for Tavros for a good while. (Probably since she started planning Aradia's gift at least, though that was both a bigger project and also an... easier-to-see fix to what she'd done to her).
-And now that we've seen Kanaya's side of this, the panel where she finds out what the dress was for hurts a lot more.
(-actually kanaya spends a good bunch of her entire volume being sad??? and so does karkat??? and ofc jade did too????? That’s Fucking Illegal Let My Children Be Happy At Once)
-mc still remembers their movie date with polypa...... the feelings at least
-MC encourages Kanaya to finally tell Vriska how she feels, and it turns out she wants to be matesprits too... and it ends horribly. (Rose's bad route also seemed to be going perfectly well until it didn't).
-We don't know how much of the week she was out was spent travelling between their respective hives, though. (did she fucking run there and back???)
(-Kanaya's heart eyes, motherfucker sprite has jade eyes while Karkat's terrified sprite has grey eyes. Further fancy-eyed friends will probably have their associated color as well.)
-And by the time Vriska might have felt what Kanaya felt (the 3-way showdown) instead of just using her for her own benefit, it was too late.
-Bright colors seem to be a rainbow drinker thing, specifically? As opposed to being Alternian goth... (daraya's route explicitly states that she looks goth because she's wearing a lot of black, when she's actually one of the Troll Call trolls that wears the least black. What is the truth? We just don't know....). Meanwhile, chainsaws seem to be the go-to weapon of rainbow drinker hunters, like stakes are for us...
-Kanaya doesn't want a vampire gf, she wants to be the vampire gf! And before MC realizes that, they come way too close to a bunch of murderzombies. Now we know they can choose who they zap with them, with potentially disarming side effects!
-Undead blood is black like His Honorable Tyranny's, and probably something you should NOT put in your mouth.
-Sadly, Kanaya doesn't get to actually talk to the Tentacle Therapist herself, though she is assured that she'd like her. Mayhaps some other time, they will finally meet... hopefully in person.
~ROUTE 1~
-Weird knowledge of alien stuff absolutely takes a backseat to Friendship. Good to know retcon powers have an aim assist of sorts too.
-Karkat's theme gets a remix like John's Pesterquest one!!!!
-Karkat himself is as fucking zen as ever. And while he's got a wonderful good end (as in what happens -wise), his bad ends -all his routes even- are VERY much sadstuck to compensate.
(-Especially his short one... he finds out he's not the only being in the world besides his lusus with crimson blood, because he just murdered the other one... and then you think about how he immediately warms up to MC in his good route, and how he did the same with -past- Spades Slick, and then how his dreamself died in canon...)
-He can project his voice very well, just like a certain other someone who wore a cloak... Actually no shit he thinks ancestors are bullshit (besides vriska & eridan being 2 out of 3 trolls he knows that are into that stuff, and all that), his own's the most illegal one so neither him nor the aforementioned trolls he knows that are into that stuff would have found much stuff... (even Mindfang stuck to sneaking just the sym69ls in her journal).
-Did he paint his nails? If not, who did?
-Of course he'd notice this random alien was very warm. What he didn't know is that we're less cullable than we look like- case in point, Folykl. (actually, do we still have Plot Armor?)
-...Who was Gamzee talking to when we zapped into his broom closet? And why did Karkat freak out so much when he came close? He did know Gamzee was a clown, iirc... was he just leaking psychic spoops or what??
-The second Karkat finds out MC and him have the same blood color, they became friends in his eyes.
-Sollux (is here!!) kinda calls back to Dave in Volume 1, after Karkat and him finish their regular greetings and get to the point of the conversation. Hacking into the caste records is incredibly illegal, though Sollux's more than willing to risk being culled for Karkat*.
-We know there was an Adalov way before Hivebent time, but we don't know if that's our Adalov- and sadly MC doesn't get the chance to even hear that name. (it's too soon still.)
-How do we get rid of SGRUB? We take Karkat “The Fucking Leader” Vantas to Earth, obviously! Where he'll be able to play various skate games, bond with the kids over games left unplayed, and escape a certain death. Wonder how everyone’ll react to him disappearing...
-Narratively Unimportant Traits 1: dave loves olive garden's breadsticks!! Narratively Unimportant Traits 2: ...because he can eat a lot of them when otherwise he might not get to eat much of anything Narratively Unimportant Traits 3: karkat's been years perfecting hiding from drones that will kill him if they so much as detect his body temperature, and it's implied he may have been moving (will keep moving) from hive to hive as needed all this time because of the early warning systems, which warn him of his hive being about to go up in flames and killing everything inside it- including his lusus. We're in Hivebent's timeframe, but considering his good route's what takes SGRUB out, he might not even have turned 13 yet.
-Karkat's bad route ends with him just leaving, shrouded in Signless callbacks, after being put on a cull list not even retcon powers can escape from. ...That's also a way to get rid of SGRUB, I guess.
*Back to Sollux being a likely choice for volume 6- in Karkat's bad route, he repeatedly tells Karkat to come to his hive, after seeing him on the cull list and knowing there's drones after him. He knows and explicitly doesn't give a fuck about him being a mutant (though he doesn't seem to know how exactly is he a mutant). The last thing he tells him is “don't make me tell you how much i hate you.”
After that, he doesn't hear anything more from Karkat because he throws his palmhusk away, and then he just leaves into the wilderness. And even if we get the typical Friendsim timeline smoothie shenanigans, Karkat's on Earth in his good route and we don't know if he can still contact his friends. (Sollux can hear the imminently deceased. There's the chance that he might hear from Karkat one last time.)
If we do get the timeline smoothie, that's a hell of a motivation to seek out MC. (And even if we only follow the good route, Karkat still dropped off the face of Alternia after asking Sollux to hack the caste records and telling him MC was in his hive.)

42. Do they live with anyone? If so, who? She used to live with the people that trained her, then those that she trained. Monks and other shadows.
43. Where is their dream vacation? Somewhere across the great sea. Exploring is an acceptable vacation activity, no?
44. Do they know more than one language? Other than common, she speaks halfling and dwarvish. Over the years, she has also picked up thieves’ cant  and hand cant
45. Are they a quick learner? When survival depends on it. Though her wits are sharper than her memory.
46. Have they ever won a contest before? If so, what for? What did they win? Contest for worst sacrifice ever?
47. If the world were to end in 24 hours, where would they be and who would they be with? If the world was to end in 24 hours, that means someone’s plan went terrible wrong, so naturally, she’d be by someone’s side, trying to stop the world’s end.
48. What does their room look like? Unmade bed, desk filled with papers, pens, ink bottles, a half melted candle. Lot’s of clutter, spell components everywhere. Cloaks, hats and boots, all organized neatly in some corner along with other equipment. Little trinkets with emotional value pilled up high next to the gear.

56. Do they own their own baby pictures? Nope, but she has an idea who would if she ever wanted them.
57. What makes them standout among others? The shadows leaking from her skin. Now if we are talking about other shadows, her empathy.

59. What is their favourite song? Choir Noir - Shadow Moses Beneath the Mask (Cover by Adriana) Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker
60. What would be their dream vehicle? Doesn’t really have one, teleporting through shadows is fine with her.
61. What is their favourite book? Lot’s of favorites over the years, couldn’t really name one.
62. Who, in their opinion, makes the best food? Anyone willing to cook instead of spawning food with magic.
63. Are they approachable? It depends on what she is doing at the time, but most times, yes.
64. Did they ever change their appearance? She sees no point to it, besides disguises.
65. What makes them smile? Hanging out with humans, listening their tales, about their lives, their every day worries. Old friends.

67. What is something that is simple, but always makes them smile? Dogs.
68. Are they a day or night person? Night person. 110%
69. Are they allergic to anything? Nightbringers and all other worshipers of Shar.
70. What do you, the creator of this OC, like most about them? Her unbreakable will and the tendency absolutely wreck havoc where that is needed. To be sacrificed to a cruel god who feeds of your pain and misery and at that instance decide that instead of caving in your misery, you will instead become the worst sacrifice they’ve ever received by laughing at their face.. Idk man, I think that takes some balls. (As previously answered)
71. Who is their ride or die? Again, a certain tiefling comes to mind.
72. Do they currently have a significant other? If not, are they going to get one later one? I mean, a girl can hope.
73. What attracts them to another person? Freedom, knowing that the people around her will never hold her back.
74. Who is one person that can always make them laugh? Drasek Riven, he doesn’t even have to say anything. He can just be there.
75. Have they ever partied too hard and their friends had to take them home? Yes, not a fond memory of hers’.
76. Who would be their cuddle buddy? Whoever would be brave enough to recognize that she is actually touch starved.
77. Who would cheer them up after a long day? Usually, she is one to stay alone, so when she is in need of company, she’ll just start up a conversation with a stranger.
78. If they had a nightmare, who would they run to? By now, she is used to nightmares, but if she could, her brothers and sisters are who she’d go to. She wouldn’t say anything, their company is enough to calm her most of the times. When not, meditating in an empty dark room usually helps calm her down.
79. What object to the care for the most? It’s not the object it’s self but the information in it. A small book with maps of all the places she has visited.
80. Do they like other people’s children? Yes, love to hang out with them and love to look after them. The little sprouts are really entertaining.
81. How would they react if someone broke into their home? Three stunning strikes? They are bound to fail at least one. Questions will be asked afterwards.
82. Does anyone make them have butterflies in their stomach? Nope, surely not, she is a coldblooded thousands year old being. Of course, there is no one in this plane that makes her feel that way.
83. What is something that they are good at? Taking care of others, listening, paying attention to their reactions.
84. What is their neutral expression? A little scary, but she usually smiles.
85. Do they like to cook? For herself and for others.
86. What is something they can’t leave home without? Her mask.. Even if worn around her writs, she still needs the security of being able to cast spells.
87. Who is someone that they rely on? The asshole who gives her her spell slots.
88. Do they liked to be tickled? Hard pass. Dislikes when people touch her out of the blue.
89. Have they ever been a sword fight before? Is it considered a sword fight if she wasn’t holding a sword?
90. What is a joke that they would find funny? -Then perish- jokes.
91. Do they have a place that can go and turn off their brain? Usually any room without much light, otherwise, a closet will do.
92. What was their childhood like? She doesn’t remember a lot of it, but she know she was happy. One of her few memories is of her and her little sister playing explorers in their mother’s garden. The years after turning to a shade she also considers a short of childhood or at least teen hood as she had to readjust and find new balances in her life. It took her a while to figure out how to care for people again when she could hardly feel anything, but little by little she managed to give up her spite. Those years were the roughest for her.
93. What are they like as an adult? After her second “puberty”, she learned to be quiet more free spirited, relaxed and easy going thought with certain events that happened in her life span, her spite towards a certain group of individuals reignited.
94. Do they take criticism well? Most of the times. She wants to generally improve herself.
95. Have they ever jumped out of a plane? Well.. Not a plane, no. But I can imagine her jumping off of a floating city.
96. Who do they like to make jokes with? The bastard that gives her her assignments.
97. Have you ever drawn them before? If you are comfortable with it, would you post a picture?

Drabble-a-thon: One, Three Words
Title: Tender Curiosity Rating: PG-13 Relationships: Gabriel/The Russian, Past Gabriel/Johnny Trigger Warnings: Irresponsible drinking, drug use Brief Summary: I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.
Tumblr media
Upstate New York, Summer 2018 Kaleidoscope Johnson’s estate
4am
Sometimes Gabriel couldn’t help but to feel like he was living in some sort of F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. He felt like some aristocrat in the twenties or thirties. Who the fuck summered at their wealthy friend’s summer estate? Kale had his eccentricities, but inviting the whole art collective to stay at his home for the summer was definitely new. Of course, not everyone came for the entire summer. Most of the collective was just coming on the weekends, but Gabriel didn’t have a reason to stay in the city. 
Delilah was visiting and didn’t want to see him, and his husband, no, ex-husband filed the divorce papers. There was no reason for him to be in the city, and so he was taking advantage of his friend’s hospitality, or rather his loneliness. 
Gabe thought he rather enjoyed having people filling every inch of the estate. It was a rather large estate to begin with. Who the hell had a formal dining room, a casual dining room, and a semi-formal dining room? There were six rooms that Gabe would classify as a living room. Who needed that many rooms?
Besides, there were still six of them at the estate during the week. Well, okay. Six people who weren’t Kale, Gabe, and the staff. During the weekends there were about twenty people at the estate, but during the week it was just:
Jimmy, Kaleidoscope’s twenty-six year old boytoy
Steven, an artist, and the most annoying twink Gabe had ever met
Velvet, an artist who was tragically depressed by all the gay around her
Willy, a lesbian, part-time witch, full-time poet, who was trying to get Kale to join her coven
Destiny, Willy’s girlfriend, part-time lesbian and full-time witch
The Russian, a tourist who Kale met at a gay bar and brought home
The days were surprisingly not boring, which was what Gabe needed right now. Every night was a dinner party and an excuse to drink until four or five in the morning. Every day consisted of lounging around the manor, or the pool, or walking around the estate, or riding around the estate and, of course, art. There was so much art. Easels were a common accessory to every room. Sure. he wasn’t getting as much painting done as he wanted, but he was starting to feel in a better mental state. Long trips to the estate tended to help. 
Still, that didn’t stop his insomnia. He’d gotten so used to sharing a bed that he was still having trouble sleeping through the night. At least when he had Bella, there was a baby in his bed, but here he slept alone. Well, sometimes he and Velvet cuddled, but other than that he slept alone. He was pretty sure Kale had invited the Russian home for Gabe’s personal entertainment. He was definitely his type, but he just wasn’t doing it for him, which was so fucking weird. He was hot, but there just wasn’t a connection there. The other man was definitely interested, but Gabe was just perpetually not in the mood.
Most of the evening activities had settled down and everyone had scattered throughout the manor house. Kale and Jimmy had gone up to bed. Steven was where he usually was at night, on the screened-in porch trying to master a night landscape that didn’t look dark or muddy. The lesbians had passed out in the media room to old episodes of Friends, which had left Gabe alone with Velvet and the Russian. His name was Gregor, but Gabe didn’t like thinking of him by his name. That meant he was attached and Gabe wasn’t going to grow attached to a stranger. The second Velvet started asking questions that ventured into the realm of ‘spooky,’ Gabe had excused himself to go to bed. That had been maybe an hour ago, but Gabe hadn’t made it that far.
He was stretched out on the window seat in the drawing room, a cup of herbal tea in hand and his sketchbook on his lap. It wasn’t the window seat he wanted to be sitting on, but the view was definitely better. There was grass and trees as far as the eye could see. There was an itch under his skin to draw, but he was tired. He’d done a little bit of sketching, but mostly he was allowing himself to get lost in his own thoughts.
“Bad dreams or haven’t been to bed yet?” The Russian asked as he came into the drawing room. He looked a little spooked, and Gabe almost felt bad for abandoning him. As much as he loved his friend, Velvet could be intense at times, but the Russian had been at the estate for a couple of weeks. Gabe would have thought he would have been used to her eccentricities by now.
“Velvet is a very dark girl, no? She want to know many things about Baba Yaga. She not going to…” He pressed his lips together as he tried to find the right word. While his English was normally better than Gabe’s, after a couple of bottles of wine, he had a hard time remembering some words. Not being able to figure out the right word, he dragged his finger across his throat and mimed being dead.
Laughing, Gabe sat up and shook his head, taking a sip of tea, grimacing when he realized it’d gone cold. He set the tea aside and tucked his feet underneath him. “She’s harmless. Just a goth.” At the blank look, he added “She likes learning about death and horror. And wears a lot of black and crosses.” There was more to it than that, but Gabe figured that the other man knew the word, but just couldn’t remember it in his current state.
The Russian nodded as he sat next to Gabe despite there being plenty of chairs for him to sit in. Their thighs were touching, and Gabe didn’t necessarily care for the contact. He didn’t move away though. “Gabriel, am I not appealing to you?” He asked out of the blue. 
He choked and looked at the other man. “What? No, you’re…” He forced out a laugh. “You’re gorgeous.” And maybe it hadn’t been Kale that the Russian had followed home from the gay bar. Maybe it had actually been him the entire time, and Kale allowed it because he was, well, Kale. “I’m just… broken. I’m not relationship material right now. Or even fling material for that matter.” 
The Russian nodded, looking very serious, as though Gabe’s words prompted serious thought. “I go back to Moscow tonight.” He said, sounding pensive, but there was something else, something that Gabe couldn’t quite place. Suddenly there was a mouth on his, and by the time he was even able to register what had happened, the other man was standing up and pulling him to his feet. “Come to bed with me. Just for now. Let me help fix the broken.”
The look on his face just made him melt. As much as he complained about there being a stranger hanging out in their friend group, he had grown used to the other man’s company. Hell, he’d become accustomed to him joining him on the porch in the mornings when most of the house was still asleep. “Okay,” He said in almost a whisper as he let himself be led upstairs and into the other man’s room. “ I’m going to sound like a teenage girl, but I don’t go all the way. Everything else is fair game.” 
The Russian laughed. “Whatever you want to give, I’ll take.”
3pm
A cigarette was pressed between Gabe’s lips as he leaned against the railing of the small balcony attached to the guest room that had been the Russian’s. With the exception of a minor appearance during lunch to grab food and coffee from the kitchens to take back to bed, he hadn’t left the Russian’s rooms, which were much smaller than Gabe’s own. A part of him was missing the tables and chairs that were on the balcony attached to his room. Although, he didn’t regret his choice of beds or bed mates. 
Dressed in only the larger man’s sweater and nothing else, he cheekily waved down at Destiny and Willy who were settling down in the garden for their afternoon meditation. With a wink, he put out his cigarette and then walked back into the room, laughing at the surprised shouts and giggles that followed him inside when they realized that he’d been naked from the waist down.
“You’re trouble, you know.” The Russian told him as he finished packing up his bag. “But sweater you should keep. Looks better on you anyway.” He pulled Gabe to him and as a surprise to himself, he let himself go willingly. “Come to Moscow. I have private jet. Many things for you to paint and draw. Might not like some of the people, but I think you’d like Moscow. Much beauty there for an artist.”
Yesterday he wouldn’t have even considered the offer, but today he was actually thinking about it. For all his avoidance, the Russian was actually a very sweet man. Definitely a bear, and he could easily see any many falling for his charms, which was probably the real reason why Gabe had been avoiding him. As much as the divorce had been his idea, the thought of moving on had been too much for Gabe to handle, and the Russian could have been so easy to fall for. 
He took Gabe’s lack of response for a response. “It was worth a shot.” He said ruefully as he pressed a kiss to the top of Gabe’s head. “Gabriel, you’re a good man. I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for. And if you decide Moscow sounds nice, call me, hmm?”
Gabe laughed before leaning up and pressing a kiss to his lips. “You deserve better than me.” He told him. “I hope you find the person who makes you happy.” He whispered out. “I’m sorry it couldn’t be me.”
Gregor rested his forehead against Gabe’s. “Me, too.”
5pm
This time Gabe was standing on the front porch as he smoked his cigarette. The romantic in him (or maybe it was more like the romance novel reader in him) almost wished he had one of those long cigarette holders. It would fit his mood: the left behind man watching as his lover left in a taxi, rain pouring down in sheets. God, he’d spent far too much time with Kale; he was becoming far too dramatic in his old age. 
Sighing as the taxi was officially out of his line of sight, he put out his cigarette and padded back into the house. He knew how he probably looked: hair askew, barefoot, torn jeans barely on his hips (he’d lost weight during the divorce) and still wearing that stupid sweater. The thing was he didn’t care if he looked like a damsel from a mass market romance novel. That’s how he felt. 
Knowing that the rest of the house would be wandering into the sitting room for pre-dinner drinks soon, he headed there directly. As soon as he saw Willy and Destiny on the couch, he flopped his large body across both of theirs. 
“Mr. Russia is gone then?” Willy asked, shifting the book she was reading to rest of Gabe’s shins. “I was half-expecting you to chase after him in the rain. I thought you repressed gays became extra dramatic in your later years.”
Before Gabe could respond, Destiny nudged her girlfriend before running her fingers through Gabe’s hair and massaging his scalp. “Don’t listen to her, sweetie. Your aura is finally calming back to its natural state. It’s been a mess of reds and blacks this summer, but it’s finally settling back to a nice ocean water blue. I think you’re finally moving on.” She didn’t let him say anything and he was half asleep by the time the others came into the room.
“Damn it.” Steven all but whined as he pulled out a twenty dollar bill and handed it over to Kaleidoscope. “How’d you know he wasn’t going to go.” 
His mentor smirked. “Because he left his heart in New York City.” He sing-songed as he tucked his money into his pocket. “Besides Gabey promised not to abandon me all summer and he is a queen who keeps his promises.”
There was a scoff that had to have come from Jimmy. Gabe’s eyes were still closed, but it had to have come from him. Usually he started prepping the pre-dinner drinks and then Kale passed them out. “Isn’t that what I’m here for, Scope?”
Now Gabe opened his eyes and made a gagging face in unison with Velvet who pulled him to his feet and then dragged him onto the love seat. Immediately, Gabe’s upper body went into Velvet’’s lap, head propped up against the armrest so he could still drink, feet dangling over the over armrest.
“No, you’re here to satisfy my sexual appetites. Gabe and Velvet are here for everything else.” Kale sassed out without missing a beat, sweeping over to Gabe and Velvet to hand them their martinis. Each day had a different theme. Today they were blue, which meant they were likely going to wind up very very drunk and probably very very stoned.
As Kale continued to bicker with Jimmy and Steven wandered over to talk to the lesbians, Gabe found himself thinking about something the Russian had told him. “Vel,” He asked quietly. “Why did Gregor think you were going to kill us all?”
The silver haired thirty-something rolled her eyes dramatically. “I only wanted to know about the legitimacy of Baba Yaga.” She said sipping her drink. “And  I mentioned that this summer felt like a murder mystery novel, and that it would be so easy to just poison the wine.” The way she said it made it sound like she was talking about using water-based paint instead of oil-based.
Gabe choked on his martini and Velvet ran a comforting hand through his hair. “Don’t worry. I wouldn’t poison you. Everyone else on the other hand…” She looked over towards Steven and the lesbians wistfully.
“Remind me not to let you watch Bella again, okay?”
Velvet laughed, and Gabe slowly relaxed, ready for whatever adventures the evening would bring.

Amy Martinez (Character Sheet TV Tropes Style) P-T
Pals With Jesus: She contacted the demoness Lilith and practically worships her as a deity, and Lilith acts as a guardian spirit to Amy at times during times of need.
On a sadder note, Amy’s also quite chummy with Shachath, The Dark Angel who acts as a kindly grim reaper as Shachath offers Amy comforting words and reassurance even as she’s contemplating suicide since Shachath comes to her whenever she senses it.
Inverted with her friendship with Michael, the Anti-Christ. As Amy and Mallory prevent the original Apocalypse timeline, instead of killing him, Amy and Mallory decide to spare him a cruel upbringing and instead take him to the coven and teach him how to use his powers for good and embrace his human side. Michael still has his dark impulses but with Amy and Mallory’s influence, he becomes an ally to the witches and grew to love Amy and Mallory. 
Pay Evil Unto Evil: Due to her upbringing with the witches, Amy staunchly believes in getting revenge on people who have wronged her or her friends as she helped Zoe murder Spalding, stabbed the Axeman to death with her sisters, and attempted to kill Muscular for getting Midoriya horribly injured and intending to kill Kota.
She also tortured pedophiles, rapists and domestic abusers when she was 13 years old.
Amy threatens to stab Endeavor (a man who abused his wife and children) in the eye should he ever do anything to hurt Todoroki or his family ever again.
Perky Goth: While she doesn’t seem gothic, she is still a witch with many gothic interests and has a generally peppy and upbeat attitude.
Person of Mass Destruction: When angered, Amy’s magic spirals out of control, but she does this freely and almost always leaves mayhem and bedlam in her wake as she can tear down fake buildings in a rage and destroyed most of the interior of UA, including the cafeteria, gymnasium and training grounds. 
Pet The Dog: See above her Kick The Dog moments in where she apologizes for every instance and also has several other of these moments to show that she’s capable of kindness:
Every moment she has with Shinsou as she looks after him, comforts him when he’s sad and constantly reassures him during his lowest points.
When Iida is upset for going after Stain himself, Amy actually comforts him and says that she doesn’t blame him for letting his feelings get the better of him and says that she actually respects him for it more. 
Even when she was in a bloodthirsty rage, Amy does nothing to harm any of her classmates or the other students and instead gets them out of the way of her rampage and makes them fall asleep to spare them any trauma or physical pain. 
She fixes the All-Might figure Midoriya got for her and apologized to him with a baked cake as the two of them made up and Amy hugged him as the two of them broke down crying.
Upon returning to UA after her giant meltdown, she gives everyone a very formal apology, especially the ones whose feelings she hurt and then takes them on a vacation to New Orleans so they could have a good time and visit America while letting them have money to use for souvenirs. 
She buys Eri several different dolls and a dollhouse for Christmas and said that she changed her mind and told Santa to give her all her gifts because she’s on the ‘Nice’ list. And later just about every other instance where she does something nice for Eri whether it’s introducing her to Mallory (due to them sharing a similar power), letting her take Dakota out for rides, teaching her how to sing or teaching her how to bake along with Satou.
She asked Mallory to fix the ashes of the cat plush Aizawa gave her and kept it after it was fixed, then apologized to her teacher by buying him a cat-styled mug.
She tells Aoyama that she thinks he has the best fashion sense in the class and says he’s a good guy and going to be a really cool hero when they graduate.
She apologizes to Fuyumi, gives her a fancy gift basket and tells her that she thinks she’s done a good job taking care of the Todoroki family.
Despite continuously calling him boring, Amy throws Ojiro a birthday party and refrains from insulting him for the entire day and even buys him several presents.
She also takes care of the entirety of Class 1-A during Quirk Flu season due to her, Madison, Cordelia and the other witches being naturally immune and nurses them all back to health, including Midoriya and Aizawa, whom she was still kind of angry with.
Like with Shinsou, every moment she has with Ashlen as she is genuinely nice to her, genuinely likes her, looks out for her and goes out of her way to make sure that her new friend is happy. And when she thinks Ashlen won’t like something she does, she quickly stops herself because she doesn’t want to upset her friend.
She comforts Tokoyami when he expresses his regret for rejecting Ashlen’s feelings for him and laments that she moved on with Shinsou, and Amy reassures him that Ashlen will still always love him even if she’s not together with him.
The Pigpen: Downplayed, while Amy seems clean on the outside, hygiene isn’t her biggest priority as she says that she doesn’t use deodorant despite complaining that she has BO, doesn’t shave her pits unless she feels like it, nor does she shave her legs either.
Shinsou: You smell like way too much perfume and body cream.
Amy: Yeah! It was the only way to block out my pits.
Shinsou: There is natural deodorant you know?
Amy: Oh yeah I know, so why don’t you use it? I can smell you from here.
Shinsou: Hey. We’re talking about your BO here.
Ping Pong Naivete: At times, Amy acts like a child, other times, she acts like an adult. She clearly knows how anatomy and sex works and knows more about adult subjects than a normal 17 year old probably should know, but at the same time she has moments where it shows that she’s still a 17 year old girl who DOESN’T know all about sex. As she brought her entire class vibrators for Christmas under the belief that they were ‘body massagers’ even when Shinsou kept telling her that they were vibrators. She also initially thought lube was body cream, and had no idea that their purpose is for sex and masturbation.
Pink Means Feminine: While she’s not stereotypically feminine, Amy often wears pink in her apparel unless it’s her Hero Costume.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite only standing at 5’0 as one of the shortest in the Hero Course, her magic and variety of powers make her one of the strongest and most feared students in the class.
Platonic Life Partners: With Shinsou, whose been her best friend since childhood. They trust each other and rely on each other like a brother and sister and always support one another, although some of their classmates pressured them into going on a date when they thought they liked each other more than friends do. However, Amy and Shinsou realized that while they love each other, the thought of being together disgusts each other and acknowledge each other as nothing more than dear friends.
Shinsou: Amy... I wanted to tell you something I should have told you a long time ago. You and I have known each other forever, we’re best friends right? Well... I’ve realized something ever since you’ve been gone. Every person has someone in their life, someone that they know they can’t live without. And that person is someone who steals a bounce-house for you on your birthday because you desperately wanted one. That person is someone who sneaks you out of class when you get food poisoning and washes the vomit out of your face and your hair. That person is someone who picks you up and feeds you soda and ice cream when you’re just so miserable you need to drown it in everything that can’t possibly be healthy. Amy... that person is you, and I love you. But... I’m not in love with you.
Amy: (touched) Hitoshi... (warmly smiles) I love you too, but I’m not in love with you either.
Shinsou: (smiles) Want to go watch Game of Thrones?
Amy: Every damn day dude. 
She and Kaminari also have a friendship built on platonic affection as they are very close, playfully flirt with each other, get along very well akin to a brother and sister, can rely on each other and call each other their ‘favorite people’.
Plucky Girl: Amy is very spirited, brave-hearted and despite the trials and tribulations she’s gone through, nothing stops her from fighting and defending what she believes in. 
Positive Friend Influence: When she’s not being a Toxic Friend Influence, she’s this for Shinsou, Madison, Ashlen and Todoroki.  
She can get Shinsou out of his shell and get him to act sillier around her and loosen him up.
She brings out Madison’s Hidden Heart of Gold as she starts becoming kinder to her classmates.
As Ashlen enters UA, Amy helps the somewhat shy and modest girl with her confidence issues and teaches her how to embrace and awaken a newfound wild side.
And she also gets Todoroki out of his shell by making him smile and laugh at her free-spirited humor. 
The Power Of Hate: Sentio Compassios is fueled by Amy’s emotions, her stronger ones at that matter, especially hatred. In fact, Amy’s Sentio Compassios reaches one of it’s strongest states based on the more anger, hatred and resentment she feels, which is what allows her to fight against even stronger heroes and bring them down to their knees. In fact, thinking about her feelings of abandonment, jealousy towards Eri and heartbreak from Midoriya rejecting her confession is what brings Sentio Compassios to a giant, scarlet-red form that she uses to overpower the pro-heroes and defeat Midoriya. 
The Power Of Love: On the other hand, Sentio Compassios is also fueled by her love, an equally powerful emotion that Amy feels strongly. Because Amy wants to get better and no longer be hateful, she resolves to do what she wanted to do in the beginning, fight for love. And Amy’s more tender emotions such as happiness, bittersweetness and protectiveness are what fuel Sentio Compassios to a giant, pink form that is built entirely of her feelings of love for her friends and family. Thinking about her coven, her best friends Ashlen and Shinsou, as well as Bakugo and other dear friends like Midoriya, Todoroki and Kaminari bring Sentio Compassios to it’s zenith. 
Amy: Yes... humans are hateful creatures, but they can love too. I know that because the people I love are humans, and they remind me that I’m human too. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but they still love me, that’s why I’m fighting. Because I believe in love. 
Powers Do The Fighting: Amy is a long-range fighter who mainly relies on her telekinesis to punch, smash and shred everything and anybody around her all the while she just stands by and watches. And when she learns how to use Sentio Compassios, she also starts using it to create attacks and beams out of emotional energy/aura, and is learning how to create clones of her opponents. 
Power Trio: She becomes one with Shinsou and Ashlen, her best and closest friends. Although before Ashlen, she was also something like this with Shinsou and Madison. And between her witch sisters, she’s either this with Madison and Mallory, or Mallory and Coco.
Pride: Amy has a LOT of pride and it shows in how she shows off her powers and goes on and on about how cool her heritage is. However, her pride is also showcased when she conceals all of her problems from her friends because she’s too embarrassed to admit that she has a lot of issues and refuses to be judged or criticized as she takes both VERY harshly due to her pride.
Prone To Tears: Downplayed. Despite her attitude, Amy’s very emotional and sensitive as she gets easily upset when she’s yelled at or if someone is mad at her, and is also easily touched by tender moments or hearing someone’s sad or happy memories, although she can hold it together when she has to even if she’s on the verge of tears.
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Amy has a bad habit of having this mind-set as she doesn’t think even the worst things, she does are wrong just so long as she does them for reasons she believes are right even when she chides others for doing the same if they’re for reasons she doesn’t like.  Might be justified given the environment she grew up in where several of her sisters including one of her caretakers have murdered and betrayed each other but had no choice but to tolerate one another for the sake of surviving due to having a common enemy in the witch hunters. However, she IS trying to break out of this now that she’s attending UA to be a hero, albeit Amy does still prioritize only people she knows above others which makes it a bit difficult, especially during the Shie Hassakai arc as she chews out Midoriya for being deadest on and reckless enough to rescue someone he just met and doesn’t even know well since it cost someone’s life and someone’s power.
Psychic Nosebleed: When Amy utilizes way too much of her telekinesis or the rest of her powers all at the same time for far too long she gets nosebleeds along with horrific headaches that force her to recharge.
Psychotic Smirk/Slasher Smile: VERY fond of pulling off some wicked grins, especially when she gets the drop on someone or whenever she tricks them.  
Pungeon Master: Amy LOVES puns and cracks one almost every day in class, much to Bakugo’s immense aggravation.
Reality Ensues: She’s one of the many troubled individuals Midoriya comes across, and when he experiences just how emotionally disturbed she is due to her Dark and Troubled Past, he attempts to console and reason with her but ultimately fails and only succeeds in angering her even further and widening the distance between them as an incensed Amy chides him by saying that he’s being more patronizing than helpful and that he can’t save everyone from their traumas and that’s she’s not like the others that he saved. While their relationship does get better, Midoriya is crestfallen to know that he couldn’t get through to Amy and that he ultimately won’t be able to do the same for everyone.
Amy: I’m not like the other troubled souls you rescued Deku. I’m not some sad, broken thing waiting for you to rescue me. You can’t save everyone just by being nice and saying nice things that they were waiting so long to hear… stupid.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The wild, impulsive and hyperactive Red Oni to the calm, rational Ashlen and Shinsou’s Blue Oni as well as to Midoriya’s Blue Oni during their trip to New Orleans.
Relationship Revolving Door: Played for Laughs (often) when it comes to her and Bakugo. Since they’re very love-hate, they’ve broken up and gotten back together a LOT, with Bakugo outright listing how many times Amy has dumped him (7) and how many times he’s broken up with her (6). 
The Resenter: Amy’s capable of being spiteful and can hold a grudge, as she becomes resentful of Midoriya momentarily when he accidentally spurns her feelings for him. She also grows to strongly resent Eri because she received the care and affection from the pro-heroes of her society while Amy was neglected of that and given to a completely different society and forced to abandon her former life and friends. As a result, Amy also grew resentful towards Aizawa because while he offered Amy comfort, he wasn’t willing to take care of her the way he currently does for Eri. Needless to say, Amy was VERY hostile towards the three of them for a while and refused to be among them as she left the dorms two months because she “couldn’t stand looking at their faces”.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Angry at the pro-heroes for abandoning her and hurt by Midoriya’s impatience with her, once the Culture Festival is over, Amy can’t hold back her fury and attacks everything and everybody she felt wronged and abandoned by. 
The Runaway: She leaves UA after her rampage and goes on a bender with Madison, forcing Shinsou, Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki and Iida to go and find her. After 2 days, they find her, but while she returns home, she quits UA and leaves the dorms to lock herself away in her mansion for two months. 
Sad Clown: Amy’s one of the funniest girls in the Hero Course, but she acts that way to hide the fact that she’s still very depressed, immensely insecure and miserable underneath the razzing, pranking and jokes are just to mask it all.
Sadist: Amy is a bit TOO eager to murder and torture and laughs when she does so. On a lighter side, she’s also a bit too into messing with her classmates as she frequently laughs when they’re embarrassed or agitated as she once took a twisted delight in disorganizing Iida’s entire room in front of him while she had him tied up. However, Amy does NOT enjoy it when her classmates are genuinely hurt or distressed by rumors or by things that were supposed to be private.
Sanity Slippage: It began when her parents were killed and she fell into a heavy depression, which only worsened upon being forced to move to New Orleans, as the events that forced her to experience personal betrayals, bloodshed and cruel torture inflicted on innocent people, bad relationships, watching new family and friends die broke her remaining sanity as she becomes the giggling, gleefully manic lunatic we know today.
Her sanity takes a toll for the worst after she gets herself kidnapped by the League of Villains as Shigaraki further feeds upon her insecurities and fears of being abandoned by society, and when realizing that the heroes COULD have taken care of her and NOT shipped her off to America, she becomes MUCH more unhinged and harder to reason with as she starts lashing out at everything and everybody around her, including her teacher, who she personally attacks without warning. However, she’s partially aware of it and leaves the dorms for 2 months as a means to spare her classmates from her wrath should she snap and get angry.
Sanity Strengthening: Even when she supposedly was already insane in the beginning, she seems relatively stable among her friends and closest sisters, and upon returning to Japan and reuniting with Shinsou, while making new friends and even finding love in Bakugo slowly stabilized her into becoming somewhat more level-headed and thoughtful enough to cool down from her previous meltdowns and reflect from them..  
Her sanity also greatly improves upon meeting Ashlen, while she’s still wild and free-spirited, she’s much less unstable and even acts more like a normal person due to her friendship with her and also becomes kinder to others with Ashlen making sure she doesn’t go completely out of control and allowing Amy to reflect on her actions and think before acting.
Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Her friends with Shinsou. Full stop. And then of course this can be said for her friendships with both Midoriya and Todoroki.
Serial Killer: She’s killed fifteen people to date, all of them were evil of course, but still. 
Seven Deadly Sins: She seems to have and commit every single one as being with the witches has encouraged her to do as she pleases and embraces the fact that she’s a sinner.
Envy: Amy has shown intense and often irrational resentful and jealous behavior towards people she feels attached to such as Shinsou, Ashlen, Bakugo, Aizawa and Midoriya, and isn’t above deliberately taking their attention away from others by shifting negative attention to herself if for the sake of having their attention.
Gluttony: Among her voracious appetite and tendency to binge-eat, Amy excessively uses her powers and over indulges in hedonism whenever she feels like it.
Greed: Amy displays a selfish attitude by keeping things to herself and isn’t above using her powers against others or her own friends if it means getting something she wants.
Lust: Amy has no shame in showing off her perverted side by making lewd and vulgar comments to her friends or about her friends, frequently gets into heated make-outs with Bakugo and was the first to initiate taking their relationship to the next level.
Pride: Tends to see herself and her fellow witch sisters as superior to humans with quirks because she and the witches can use more than one power.
Sloth: Amy doesn’t enjoy working or putting a lot of effort into her academics or chores as she has her classmates do the work, and even when she does help out she relies primarily on her telekinesis rather than actually doing work by herself.
Wrath: She is partially defined by her unpredictable, vicious temper built from pent-up rage towards the world that she gladly lashes out towards regardless of who’s in the vicinity.
Shameless Fanservice Girl: Subverted as none of her moments are for fanservice even though she has the lack of shame for it. Her lack of shame stems from the fact that she only thinks her chubby body is comical than sexual. 
Shipper on Deck: She loves to pair her friends off with each other, as she cheerfully encourages Kaminari to just try and make moves on Jirou already, much to his great embarrassment. She also thinks Ojiro is perfect with Hagakure since she’s ‘fun’ and he’s ‘no fun at all’. Also, while she started to like Uraraka, she still would rather her not be with Midoriya, and instead thinks she would be cuter with Iida as she states it’s like Cinderellla where the poor girl goes off with the ‘tight-ass rich boy’. And she tells Shinsou that she thinks Tsuyu and Midoriya would be a cute couple.
She also believes that there’s ‘something’ going on between Cordelia and Aizawa, or at least there’s a torch being held for one another.
And when her new best friend Ashlen enters UA, she’s ecstatic when she hears of her crush on Tokoyami and vigorously tells her to go for it. And she’s saddened when he rejects her, but then gladly starts to ship her with Shinsou the moment she senses that he has a crush on her. As they get together, Amy remains their biggest shipper and calls them ‘The Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’ of 2-A.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Damien was one of her first crushes because she was under the impression that he was a kind-hearted individual until he showed his true colors later on and she eventually dumped him when he didn’t get any better. And upon returning to Japan, Midoriya was the one she truly first crushed on, but after an argument her feelings for him quickly dissipated, although they do remain good friends as Amy still has love for him that’s more platonic rather than romantic.
Finally, she started going out with Bakugo when she realized that despite his attitude, she ultimately fell for him because of his devotion to being a hero and turning down the League of Villains offer to join them. Additionally, her feelings for him grew when she started seeing a gentler side to him when he actually listened to her.
Skilled, but Naive: Subverted to Aizawa’s horror when he realizes that unlike Yaoyorozu, while Amy does get overwhelmed during some situations that she’s able to quickly come to a faster solution: murder and fighting dirty. Which ultimately has to do with the fact that while Amy’s still a young girl of only 16-17 and still isn’t really mature, she’s seen enough horrors in her life to know when and how to fight back, even if it means hurting others. 
Amy: (to Aizawa) Heh... you’re the stupid one if you think that I’m stupid like that. 
The Slacker: At times, as stated up above in Sloth, Amy would rather use her telekinesis to do all the work for her rather than actually getting up to use her own two hands. Her laziness is further exemplified in where she shirks chores by either using Concilium to get someone else to do it for her or acting like she can’t do it. And during days when she could be training Amy would rather just watch Netflix and TV, listen to music, eat sweets and drink soda and lie down on the couch.
Slap Slap Kiss: Her and Bakugo are this completely when they get together, Amy even slaps him after their first kiss, only to pull him in to kiss him even more.
Smarter Than You Look: Amy only seems like an oblivious goofball, but she’s actually extremely sly and clever as she knows how to manipulate her opponents, take them by surprise and make them fall into traps. Not to mention, she’s brilliant when it comes to covering up her tracks to go undetected.
Soap-Box Sadie: Amy’s the most politically active student of the Hero Course, frequently does and participates in protests, preaches feminism and body positivity, as well as for the environment, animal-poaching and nature preservation. 
Spoiled Brat: Because of how childish and petulant she is, Amy tends to come across as this which shows as Cordelia and her witch sisters, especially Madison, dote on her and let her have whatever she wants as a means of making up for exposing her to terrible things. Doesn’t help that even her best friend Shinsou tends to enable her and merely tells everyone to simply do what SHE wants as a means to avoid her getting mad. And when Amy doesn’t get what she wants she’s throws fits and tantrums and frequently mouths off to more responsible figures such as Iida or Aizawa when they assert their authority. In fact, she’s so spoiled by her coven that all she has to do is threaten to tell Cordelia on Aizawa to get him to buckle to her demands. However, Amy can and WILL stow this attitude when she realizes that she’s going to cross a line and CAN behave and take an order from Aizawa and Cordelia when it becomes clear to her that they think she’s acting like a brat.
Spoiled Sweet: On the other hand, Amy has no problem sharing the wealth she has from Fiona with her friends and happily spends a lot of money for parties to throw for her friends and buys them expensive gifts including concert tickets and trips around the world. Also, she has no problems with donating to good causes such as for Breast Cancer Awareness, Battered Women’s Shelters, LGBT Youth and for Environmental Conservation. 
Stepford Smiler: She’s both the Depressed type and the Unstable type. Amy smiles to hide her sadness, especially following her parent’s death, but after her experiences with New Orleans, her grins and simpers are to mask her extremely fragile sanity. However, lately her smiles have been used more to hide her depression from her friends.  
The Stool Pigeon: Of the Petty variant. After Aizawa angers her, Amy starts threatening to tell Cordelia on him for whatever he does that she dislikes and because Cordelia is very protective of Amy, and is the strongest witch in the world who can effortlessly destroy him literally and figuratively, he almost always buckles in fear of her.
She’s also the main pot-stirrer in her class as she and Madison have a penchant for gossip as she tattled on Ojiro by telling Hagakure that he has a bit of a crush on her. Then told Iida what Kaminari and Mineta were planning on doing during the girl’s slumber party, which resulted in them getting suspension for a week.
She also provided dirt on Tokoyami for her and Shinsou to gossip about when she sensed jealousy from the latter.
Amy also says that she likes to eavesdrop on her other classmates such as Iida, Jirou and Kirishima so she can gossip about them with Madison.  
Straw Feminist: Amy is a feminist at the core, although sometimes she can go a little too far with her feminism if she’s properly provoked as she has her moments where she thinks boys are the problem in school, and rather harshly tells Midoriya that Eri “needs a woman in her life” when he’s acting too much like a dad. She also once held a protest at UA when Mineta was getting way too out of control and resorted to kicking him and Kaminari in the groins for being ‘disgusting’ rather than correct what they were doing wrong. She does try to correct this however by being less judgmental and hypocritical.
Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Downplayed between her and Shinsou, as Shinsou’s more physically powerful, but Amy’s numerous powers and magic easily make her stronger than he is while Shinsou tends to be more strategic and tactful. Same thing whenever she’s paired with Midoriya. 
Supernatural Gold Eyes: Her light-brown eyes sometimes take on an amber hue which go in tune with her mystical abilities.
Superpower Lottery: She gained her powers quite early for a witch as most witches usually gain their powers at the age of 16-17, but Amy gained her powers when she was only 9 years old and has grown increasingly proficient with them as she manifested 6 of the 7 wonders and her own unique power that manifested from her father’s quirk.
Mind Over Matter: Telekinesis and Psychic Powers. Her most utilized power as she shows nearly advanced mastery in this as she can use it as an aura to physically attack her opponents, as well as to toss them around like ragdolls and also uses this to toss objects at others during battle as she used Todoroki’s own ice against him by taking sharpened icicles to make it rain on him.
Mind Manipulation: Concilium. Much like Shinsou’s Brainwashing, Amy can manipulate and control people into doing things for her or by making them forget everything they witnessed or heard. But unlike Brainwashing, Amy can make her victims remain conscious and doesn’t need to speak to have them fall under her control. Stronger individuals can resist her commands, but usually suffer pain as Amy fries up their brains when they try.
Playing With Fire: Pyrokinesis. Uses fire as an offense attack, and also to taunt Todoroki into using his own fire abilities during their fight at the Sports Festival.
Teleportation. Amy uses this to great effect in combat to dodge attacks from opponents quickly or to surprise attack them.
To Hell And Back: Decensum. She can cross into the afterlife and other planes, and while she doesn’t use this power often, she’s capable of it.
Seers: Divination. Amy couldn’t show off her capability in the test of the 7 wonders due to being unable to perform Vitalum Vitalis but Amy is capable of deriving knowledge about something or someone outside of the use of the physical senses as she can also sense ‘bad juju’ in the vicinity as she felt off before the USJ incident and at the Training Camp.  Amy also can use this ability in scrying to spy on others through the use of water, mirrors and crystal balls.
The Empath. A stronger form of Divination and Amy’s unique power she gained from her father. It allows her to feel the emotions of others around her, while also being able to see their previous or past memories. Amy uses this to great effect as she can sense her friends’ presence and also can use her emotions to strengthen herself or create attacks from her emotions.
Spell Construction. Like many witches, Amy can practice spells and has shown to be able to come up with her own spells, curses, jinxes and all as she used a spell to induce explosions or put someone to sleep.
Potion-Brewing Mechanic. Amy loves to make potions and has made several of them that are used to either heal, improve moods and libido, or to seriously harm and mess up someone’s body.
Super Strength: Sort of. Her physical strength is not innate as Amy is learning how to use her telekinesis to make her punches and kicks stronger without having to actually gain muscle. Also, she can give others super strength too with her telekinesis by adding telekinetic energy to their punches and kicks.
Sweet Tooth: She’s very much into sweets as she just loves chocolate, cookies, ice cream and soda. This often gets exploited by her friends and classmates, as Shinsou and Ashlen have discovered that all they have to do to get her to do something is offer to buy her something sweet and Amy happily does it.
Teens Are Short: She’s only 5′0 and quite small compared to the adult characters, including Cordelia who stands at 5′7 in heels.
Temporarily A Villain: After the culture festival, she goes through a complete meltdown and loses any sense of being reasoned with. Afterwards, she manipulates Aizawa and attacks him, lashes out at other teachers, and knocks them out and puts her classmates under a sleeping spell so she can go around the school and destroy some property out of anger, and finally, beats Midoriya when he tries to subdue her. It’s all in the span of a single day, but she’s slowly brought back down to earth by Shinsou,  Cordelia and All-Might. 
The Three Faces of Eve: She’s the “Child” to Ashlen’s “Mother” and Madison’s “Seductress”.
She was also the “Child” to Cordelia’s “Mother” and Fiona’s “Seductress”.
Then Let Me Be Evil: Hero Society doesn’t have the best view of witches, which is why Amy’s mother had to suppress her powers because she was devoted to protecting her daughter and the innocent people of Japan. However, Amy only realizes this when the pro-heroes, despite being capable of caring and protecting her, refuse and instead send her to America to be with her own kind. This newfound knowledge is what ultimately makes her snap when she realizes that Hero Society will only see her as wicked and unstable, and so she ensures to live up to that when she attacks UA. 
This is For Emphasis, Bitch!: Very fond of adding ‘bitch’ to the end of her sentences whenever taunting someone.
Amy: Don’t underestimate me bitch, I’m a fucking witch!
Tiny Tyrannical Girl: She’s a 5’0 witch, but also one of the more intimidating students of the Hero Course with even her own classmates being too afraid to provoke her.
Toilet Humor: Befitting her immature sense of humor, Amy is very amused by jokes that have to do with bodily functions, fart jokes in particular as she often makes these jokes at Iida simply to embarrass him in class.
Token Evil Teammate: Of the Hero Course students, Amy’s the most self-serving and arguably the least heroic one, and is often made to play the villain in some of the training scenarios, a role she’s all too happy to play. But unlike most other examples, she’s really not that bad, just selfish and prone to being aggressive.
Token Witch: Of UA overall as well as one of the few known witches in Japan attending a school for heroes. 
Tomboy and Girly Girl: While neither she or Ashlen are the conventional Girly Girls and Tomboys, Amy serves more as the Girly Girl to Ashlen’s Tomboy as Amy wears traditionally more feminine apparel such as dresses, skirts, colorful stockings and Mary Jane shoes as well as other chic and glamorous clothing and many of which are black and pink, takes more pride in her appearance, fawns and fangirls over cute boys, enjoys chick flicks, dressing like a princess, going shopping and taking selfies. However, ironically Amy is the one who is much more vulgar, violent and Ax Crazy. 
Took a Level in Jerkass: Amy wasn’t the nicest girl in the beginning but just when she was becoming kinder to her classmates, then the Kamino Ward arc and it made Amy feel patronized by her classmates when they express their concern for her. And then she gets even more incensed after the Shie Hassaikai arc when Eri comes into the picture and earns care and adoption from the pro-heroes, something Amy never received after she lost her parents as she was merely shipped off to America and forced to be cut off from her former friends and family friends. This new information makes her go berserk to the point of lashing out at her classmates and her teachers as she flies into an ultra-tantrum and becomes hostile to others and even fights with and harms Midoriya and Aizawa when they attempt to talk her down and she even leaves the dorms and UA for a while because she couldn’t deal with talking to anyone other than Shinsou. Thankfully, she does slowly get better.
Took a Level in Kindness: After her fight with Midoriya, Amy reflects more on her actions and instead opts to behave for the sake of Shinsou and her witch sisters. Although she does soften up by being around Bakugo, Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido and Sero, as well as Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, and Amy does eventually apologize to the people she’s hurt. She takes a bigger level in her second year when her new best friend Ashlen transfers to UA and Amy decides to be less of an angry person and acts like an even kinder, compassionate person to her classmates and teachers.  
Town Girls: She’s the Femme, Madison’s the Butch and Ashlen’s Neither.
Toxic Friend Influence: Although a good friend to Shinsou, she enables his worse habits and brings out his bitchier side which includes them both relentlessly insulting and pranking Ojiro simply because they both find him boring. And vice-versa, Shinsou’s a good friend to her too, but never tells her the honest truth, enables her bad behavior and would rather just comfort her and make sure she’s happy. 
Trademark Favorite Food: Amy has many favorite foods but she LOVES Spaghetti and often cooks it at home because it’s really the only thing she’s good at cooking. 
Amy’s favorite pizza place is Pizza Hut, as she even takes Shinsou and Ashlen to the place on their first outing as friends as she ate a majority of the buffet while Ashlen and Shinsou watched with slight horror and amusement.
She also LOVES Dr. Pepper, Oreos and cookies. She loves these things so much, all Shinsou has to do is present her one of these treats to get her to do something she doesn’t want to do or to make her feel better when she’s sad. 
Amy: (whining) But I don’t wanna clean... that requires moving... look at my arms... look at my arms Hitoshi, they’re not moving, they’re just not...
Shinsou: (exasperated) I’ll buy you cookies.
Amy: (gets up with more energy) I can move again! 
Tragic Hero: Ultimately, Amy’s own worst enemy is herself. For all that she’s been hurt, betrayed and abandoned by others, her anger issues, instability, self-hatred, selfishness and insecurities are what always lead to self-sabotage and relapsing which risk her any chances of getting better. As shown when she attacks UA, believing she was doing it to prove a point about the hypocrisy of the pro-heroes, when in actuality she did it because she thought it would make her feel better. She leaves the school shortly out of both guilt and lingering resentment towards the heroes and Midoriya. While she does return, it’s only because she couldn’t abandon Shinsou or her new friends, not because she felt obligated to return to the ‘good side’ nor did she end up resolving any of her issues. 
Trauma Conga Line: She goes through a lot in so little time. First, she’s bullied by her peers for supposedly being quirkless, and when she finds out it’s because she’s a witch with multiple powers, she’s ecstatic but that all dissipates fast when witch hunters infiltrate Japan and kill her entire family in front of her. While the pro-heroes rescue her, they then give her over to a coven of witches in New Orleans because they didn’t want to try raising a girl with unstable powers under the excuse that they didn’t want her allies (The Shinsou family) to be put at risk. And then at New Orleans, she has to watch some of her new friends get killed, assaulted, betrayed all within the span of two months. She gets hunted by witch hunters again, participates in a fight with another tribe of witches, getting surrounded by reanimated corpses, murdering the butler, freeing a serial killer’s ghost and lastly, she finds out that one of her new guardians wanted to kill her and everybody else in the coven. Then she loses two sisters she was closest too. It’s no wonder that she went insane afterwards. 
Tres Amigos!: With Shinsou and Ashlen of course. 
Troll: She’s this incarnate. Everything she does is just to get a reaction out of people, but especially Bakugo, Iida and Aizawa. She’s ESPECIALLY this to Shigaraki when she and Bakugo are captured by the League of Villains and despite being threatened with death, Amy continues to taunt him.
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Even before she moved to New Orleans she wanted her parent’s murderers to be punished by death and this only worsened upon going to Robichaux with the other witches as she helped Zoe, Queenie and Nan torture Spalding, killed zombies with a shovel a bit too eagerly, partook in the plan to convince Fiona to kill herself for the coven and stabbed the Axe-Man to death with her sisters. All at the age of 11. And she implies that when she was around 12-13 that she also murdered several other people, granted they were mostly rapists, pedophiles and abusers but she also states that she lured them in with her childish looks and tortured them before killing them.
True Companions: She’s a true, blue friend to Shinsou and vice-versa, and they become this with Ashlen as they’re a very close-knit trio of friends who are ride or die. And hilariously enough Amy tends to act as the “child” while Shinsou is the “dad” and Ashlen is the “mom”. 
Amy is also very close and affectionate with her coven, especially Zoe, Madison, Queenie and Misty, as well as her classmates such as Midoriya, Todoroki, Bakugo, Kirishima and Kaminari.
Tsundere: Even after she and Bakugo get on better terms and start a relationship Amy is still snippy towards him as he’s the one who pushes her buttons the most even if she’s a tad bit silly about it. However, for all that they argue and fight, Amy is still in love with him as she is well aware that he’s an asshole, yet she still loves him and gives him plenty of affection, hugs and kisses even as she says how much she’s annoyed by him. 
She’s also one towards Eri as she claims to not care for the girl but after she (mostly) loses her dislike of her she proves her so-called lack of care by giving her toys, candy and singing lessons.  
Similarly, she’s also this to her classmates that she’s not always kindest to such as Iida, Midoriya and Ojiro as she insults them frequently but still does express her care for them nonetheless.
Twitchy Eye: When greatly angered and about to lose what’s left of her remaining sanity, Amy’s eye starts to twitch, which is a sign for others around her to take cover, 
Two Girls and A Guy: In the first year, Amy was often with Madison and Shinsou, also dubbed ‘The Bitch Friends’. But in second year, she and Shinsou become a trio with Ashlen and become ‘The Zombie Trio’.
Two Guys and A Girl: She tends to take this dynamic whenever she’s with Shinsou and Kaminari.

Morbid & Decadent
Author: Crowson75
Year: 2009
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Moss/Richmond
It was Monday morning and Moss' birthday. He'd bought cake. Chocolate cake; something guaranteed that everyone would like. He quite liked a coconut sponge with raspberry jam in the middle, but they were a lot harder to find in Tesco. The only problem was that Roy hadn't turned up for work, having called in sick. He had Venezuelan Bat Flu. Roy never normally took days off, no matter how sick he was. Moss wanted to kick something good and proper. Whilst he was waiting for Jen, he had cut the cake, folded napkins, reconsidered and raided from plates from the canteen, then put napkins on plates and cake on each, then wondered why you did that? It made a perfectly good napkin filthy and you needed to use another to save your tie from icing. It was a waste. By the time Moss had sketched out a solution for a non-stick plate napkin, which could then be reversed to reveal a handy, absorbent side, he realised that Jen was late. Very late. That was when HR rang. It was Sophie, the girl with a curvy bum that made Moss blush and Roy talk about keeping your rubbish in the boot of your car. Or drug-snorting elephants. Moss wasn't sure which. The one time he'd asked, he'd passed out as soon as Roy started talking about Lady Parts. Sophie said that Jen was ill too. It was allegedly a bad curry, but Sophie suggested that Roy had been showing off his Venezuelan Bats. Moss did try to explain that whilst Roy had an illness that suggested he came into contact with Venezuelan Bats, it was a complete misnomer. It was just where the illness originated and did not, in fact, require actual physical contact with mammals of the Chiroptera order. Sophie didn't sound convinced. So, as extra reassurance, Moss pointed out that whilst it might seem that contracting an illness on the same day suggested weekend contact between Jen and Roy, the flu virus typically had a 2-5 day incubation period. As a result, it was likely they had both contracted the illness from a Venezuelan business man who had visited the IT department the week before. He'd got lost on the way to the Mr Renham's office. He did appear to have flu-like systems, from what Moss had observed when he passed him in reception on the morning of his visit. That was why Moss had taken the precaution of wearing a face mask all day. "Moss," Sophie said slowly after he'd stopped talking. "What about if Roy and Jen just went out last night and, well, they have... Monday morning sickness?" "How do you get that?" Moss asked, already Googling that particular illness. "There's no entry on Wikipedia. Hang on..." he paused as he read Suite 101. "Neither of them are horses." "You're a very strange man," Sophie declared just before she hung up on him. Moss sat back in his chair. He was in a funk. ** Monday morning was a rather gloomy time. In fact, it was rather more gloomy than other days, even behind the Red Door. Richmond watched the lights on the machines flash on and off and on again. He hummed a Cradle of Filth in time and then had a bit of a strop when one of them blinked out of time and ruined his soulful version of 'The Foetus of a New Day Kicking'. In actual fact, he completely trashed his chair. Which left him feeling even gloomier with nowhere to sit. It was no good, he'd have to venture out into the office. He popped his head around the door and found... Moss on his own looking at three plates of cake. "Morning," Richmond said as cheerily as possible. "Alright?" "Hello Richmond," Moss said sulkily. "Do you want some cake?" "What flavour is it?" Richmond asked, resisting the urge to pounce on it. "I only eat Black Forest Gateau." "Chocolate." "That'll do nicely, can I have a seat?" Richmond motioned to Roy's chair. "Yeah, why not. No one else going to use it," Moss sighed. He handed Richmond a piece of cake. "Cheers," Richmond said taking the plate and picking at the cake. "It's not like Roy to be off work." "He's ill." "Oh." "So's Jen." "Really?" "S'not Monday Morning Sickness!" Moss's frown grew. "I thought only horses got that?" Richmond got up and wandered into the kitchen. It was time to break out the tea, clearly. "They've probably got that flu think that South American blokey had anyway," he called back into the office. "Thank you Richmond," Moss said, walking to the kitchen door. He leaned against the door jam and began to shovel chocolate cake into his mouth. Richmond gave him a little smile and made tea. When he looked up again, he noticed Moss had blob of chocolate butter cream on his tie. "You've got stuff..." Richmond pointed at the tie. "Sorry, I'm allergic to... them, now." Moss looked down and, lifting his tie to his mouth, licked the chocolate off. Richmond watched the action intently. "Your tongue's very pink," Richmond said before he stopped himself. He blushed, thanked the Gods of Goth for white make-up and passed Moss a cup of tea. "What's the occasion anyway?" "S'my birthday," Moss said. "Have more cake." Richmond paused. "Got to watch my figure. You know... don't want to be a blob of darkness." "What's it all about anyway?" Moss asked, shaking his head and waving his hand at Richmond's outfit. "Life and... stuff. Do you live in a coffin?" "Not really," Richmond replied. "I've got a flat." "Has it got dead people in it?" Moss looked concerned. "S'a bit morbid isn't it?" "But you're a goth." "I've got a black fish called Agatha," Richmond replied. "She's meant to be a goldfish really, but she's all inky instead." "Is Agatha dead?" "No, she lives in a tank with a bit of plastic wood." "Right." Moss looked a little disappointed. "Do I amaze you?" Richmond asked. "No Richmond, I wouldn't say it was amazement. Let me think," Moss said seriously. He thought. "No, definitely not amazement. You confuse me. Every time I think I've got you licked, you come at me with something new." "I'm a complicated man," Richmond said. He turned and swirled his hands, beckoning a handy flashback. He swallowed. Moss was so... innocent. What he was saying shouldn't be filthy. And yet, it was. Little Richmond had tuned in straight away. The flashback was a good time to recover... Ever since the night with Denholm, Richmond was having to accept a whole new element of his sexuality which had been previously hidden. He'd recently attended the Gay, Bi and Lesbian Goth Support Group and discovered that he was hidden in more than one closet. To celebrate, he'd been sucked off by Tarquin, the group president. It was quite nice. He might have considered dating him, had it not been for the fact that Tarquin didn't like Cradle of Filth. Since then, he'd realised that what he wanted most, was love... Moss coughed as the flashback ended. "My my," he murmured. He shuffled behind his desk and sat down. "Being a gay goth must be quite difficult really. I mean, you can't really go all Graham Norton and still stick with a dark gothic aesthetic, can you?" "Depends how much leather you wear," Richmond said nodding his head. He unzipped his trousers to reveal leather y-fronts. "It chafes a bit though." When Richmond looked back at Moss, he could tell he was blushing. "That was a bit too much information," Moss said. He seemed to be very nearly swooning. "I need to rearrange my paper clips for a while." Richmond nodded, as if he understood. He sort of did. He walked to the sofa, sat down and read Heat for a bit and drank his tea. After not so very long, Moss joined him. "It's a strange thing," Moss said, looking at his knees. "But I feel a bit reckless today. It's just one of those things that happens when you reach my age. Roy has his women, Jen her men, and I, I am an island, Richmond. But no more. It's time for me to open my eyes and look at the world outside of this office. You're a man of the world, and, well, I think you can help me." Richmond realised that he was adopting an expression somewhat similar to Agatha's. He open his mouth to speak, and neither his voice box or brain engaged in the operation. Moss slapped him on the back. He squeezed Richmond's shoulder. It was the first time Richmond had been touched since Tarquin. "Don't get stiff on me now Richmond!" Moss said. "Oh!" Richmond exclaimed. That was a bit below the belt. "You're getting all shifty," Moss said, pouting a little. "Would you like some hot Ribena?" Moss's hand had lifted to Richmond's shoulder and was squeezing it. It felt quite nice, actually. "Um..." "More cake?" "Well, um..." "I've got a rhubarb fool in the fridge?" "...Thing... well, can I ask you something?" Richmond stammered. He gave Moss a piercing glare. The bespectacled man met it, blushed a little but returned it, just as strong. "Shall I take you out for a drink at lunchtime? To celebrate. Would that cheer you up? I'd like to." Moss grinned. The smile had faltered at cheer, but rallied at like to. Richmond smiled back in what he hoped was an encouraging manner. Life was simpler when he was alone in his cupboard. Not to mention not quite so bright. Lonelier though. "Flip it!" Moss said with forcefulness that Richmond was shocked he possessed. "Let's go now. Neither Jen or Roy can be bothered to come to work today. Why should we?" "Because we're already here?" Richmond suggested, a little tentatively. Then Moss was closer beside him, his beautiful brown eyes making demands that Richmond was fairly sure Moss' body could not only not keep, but also probably not know the names of. "We can't throw a sicky when we're already here." Richmond's voice sounded thin, even to him. "We mother-flipping can!" Moss said with a smile. He stood and crossed his arms. He was a man with a plan. *** To say things hadn't gone well, was a bit of an understatement. It was true that Moss and Richmond had been sent home "sick", they had also made the cleaner faint, a girl from the fourth floor vomit and used up all the chocolate cake. Moss had apparently had the idea from a date Roy had. That thought made Richmond feel a bit queasy. And he was the weird one. "Which pub shall we go to?" Moss said. He wiped the remnants of the 'plan' off his glasses. "Can we go to the Moon Under Water?" Richmond asked, expecting Moss to decline. "Why not?" Moss said, before dragging Richmond down the street. He paused after a few steps. "Will I have to pretend I know about football?" "Who to?" "Er..." "I don't want to talk about football." Richmond was starting to panic. "Me either." "Let's not then." "Okay." The pub was quiet and a bit murky. The girl at the bar had greeted Richmond like an old friend and served up his pint of Lager and Black. When Moss found out it had Ribena in it, he decided to have one too. They shuffled off to a corner and, because they were virtually the only customers, the barmaid kept an eye on their drinks and wandered over with refills at regular intervals. The conversation began in a stilted manner. Once the men were out of the office, they realised they didn't have a lot in common. However, as the drinks flowed, so too did the conversation. "Are you still with that girl?" Moss asked. He'd caught the barmaid giving Richmond a bit of a wink and was clearly suspicious. "The one from Jen's party?" "Er, no, not any more," Richmond said with a bit of a blush. In truth, Richmond's sex life, such as it was, had been a magical mystery tour since.  She'd been a welcome distraction from his bi-curiosity, until she joined in. "She's settled down with a girl from the Bi, Gay and Lesbian Goth group I go to. Did I say that out loud?" "Yes," Moss replied. "And y'know what, I'm pleased you've finally decided to come out of the closet." "But Jen came in.." "Not that closet, Richmond." "Oh, okay." "You're a fine piece of gothic ass, Richmond, if you don't mind me saying," Moss was grinning wildly as he said it. His glasses fell into his drink. He looked at it for a bit, then drained the glass, and, finally, fished them out of the bottom. He lay them on the table to dry. "What brand of Ribena do you think this is?" Moss asked, looking through his empty pint glass, one eye closed. "I don't know," Richmond admitted. "Did you just say you liked my arse?" Moss belched. " I need a wee," he announced loudly and stood up. Richmond watched his retreating form. Becky, the barmaid walked over. "I reckon he might have had a few too many love," she said softly. She picked up Moss' glasses, abandoned on the table, and wiped them with a towelling bar mat. Then she put two more full pint glasses onto the table and put her hand out for the money. "You've only been in 'ere an hour.  An' you know what? If you think he's going to be any good in the sack after all that he's had to drink you'll..." . "Who are you talking about?" Moss said. He had walked up behind Becky without anyone noticing. "You're not going to pull and leave me here are you?" He looked at Richmond with blind, big eyes and felt around in front of him for Richmond's face. Richmond picked up Moss' glasses and hooked them gently back over his ears. "Hello gorgeous," Moss said with a smile. "There was someone in the loo talking about people being rubbish in the sack and then I asked if you were going to... Was I in the loo? Are we in the toilet Richmond?" "No, we're still in the bar," Richmond was feeling slightly light-headed himself. "I won't leave you here on your own." "Why, do you need to go to the toilet as well?" Moss asked, thoroughly confused. Richmond blinked. "Come to mention it, I do need to go actually." "I'll take you," Moss said, standing and holding his hand out. Richmond grasped it and they walked to the toilets hand in hand. There were a lot of cubicles. Richmond had never noticed that before. He walked toward one, and, when he turned and locked the door, realised Moss had walked in with him. "What are you doing here?" Richmond asked, trying to shut the door and undo his trousers and not really knowing quite where he was. "I think I work here..." Moss said, helping Richmond to close the cubicle door behind them. "No, we work with computers." Richmond was having a rare moment of clarity. "We've come out for an executive lunch, I bet." "A legendary lunch!" Moss cackled with laughter. Outside the stall, the toilet entrance door slammed. "Someone's got a bloke in 'ere," a woman's voice said. Moss looked at Richmond. Richmond stopped what he had been doing and tucked himself back into his trousers. Moss watched... a little bit too closely. "Is there a bloke in here?" Moss asked. Richmond shook his head. "It's that one, look, you can see his shoes," another, female voice said. The owner of the voice kicked Moss' ankles. He stumbled forward and ended up pirouetting drunkenly, before slamming Richmond against the cubicle wall. "Fuck," the first female voice said. "They're well at it. Is he a good snog, love?" Moss' face got closer to Richmond's. Dimly, Richmond wondered if that made him the girl. Moss' lips were against his, tasting sweet and warm. Richmond opened his mouth a little, just to see what might happen. He wasn't expecting Moss' tongue to slip inside, but he didn't mind once it did. It was rather nice. He grasped the back of his workmates head and deepened the kiss. He murmured with pleasure. "Sounds like it," the second female voice said. Richmond had to agree. Moss was sucking his tongue like his life depended on it. His hands were inside Richmond's clothes, against his skin and, wanting to do the same, he tugged Moss' anorak from his shoulders and let it fall to the cubicle floor. "I reckon they might be up to something a bit more than that," the first female voice said. "Bloody 'ell." It was about the time that Moss' fingers, his cold fingers, wormed their way into Richmond's tight trousers that it all started to go a bit wibbly. And this time, it wasn't a flashback. "Oh," Moss said, breaking the kiss. His fingers had just met little Richmond. He looked up, his eyes growing wider as his fingers considered the girth. "That's quite a fella you've got in there." The women outside the cubicle door squealed. Footsteps were heard. "I think we might be in a bit of trouble," Richmond said. If Moss didn't stop saying hello to little Richmond soon, there was likely to be a sticky end. "Don't you like having your thingy touched?" Moss was puzzled, though he didn't stop researching Richmond's nether dimensions. "I think we might be in the ladies loo," Richmond replied. Finally he grasped Moss' wrist to stop him from doing what he had just started to do. "That's a problem," Moss agreed. "We'll just have to continue this somewhere else." "We will?" Richmond asked. Moss withdrew his hand and flung open the cubicle door. It set one of the hand driers off and he stood there for a moment, his tight Afro blowing... well, just a little bit. "You will," Becky the barmaid said, walking into the lavvy. "Richmond." "It's alright," Moss said. He straightened his glasses, retrieved his anorak and threw it over his shoulder, showering the floor with lose change. "Richmond, have you ever been debauched by an IT engineer?" Richmond shook his head. None of this was quite going the way he'd planned. "It's time you were." Moss took Richmond's hand. "Cheerio Betty," he said to the barmaid as he began walking out. "Have fun lads," Becky said with a grin. She reconsidered. "Oh, and next time, use the bloody gents."

Different jobs that My Hero Academia characters could have (as adults)
*LONG POST WARNING! MORE UNDER THE CUT*
1. Midoriya- The Good Cop™
Deku always wanted to save people and before One for All became a part of his life everyone advised him to simply go for the police. If he didn’t become a hero, he would probably become a policeman, and he’d probably make a damn good one, taking into account his perfect balance of righteousness, selflessness, and empathy. If all cops were like him, the world would be saved.
Midoriya: *holds back tears* I-it’s okay now... Because I am here...
2. Bakugou- The Impulsive Soldier
Is there any job that Bakugou could like doing more than fighting? He could initially struggle with being at the very bottom of the military hierarchy, but being put in his place for a while could perhaps help him get over his problems with accepting losing and help. And anyway, he’d climb up fast. After all, this boy’s strong and smart as heck. Just imagine him getting to drill the new recruits...
Bakugou: *yells* I’LL KILL YOU, LAZY SCUM!! 500 PUSH UPS, starting NOW!!
New recruit, terrified to the core: Aye sir!
3. Uraraka- Bob The Builder
Uraraka’s quirk would be perfect to use on a construction site. She’s a strong girl, practical and determined, and would even manage to deal with any potential accidents at work. Plus she comes from the working class, but that’s just an addition.
Uraraka: I can work hard and earn money for my parents this way too!
4. Todoroki- The Vengeful Firefighter
Get it? FIRE-FIGHTER. Now THAT would be a way to go against Endeavor and his plans, wouldn’t it? Tbh much sassier than becoming a hero.
Todoroki: It is then... *15 minutes of traumatic flashback* when I decided to devote the rest of my life to fighting fire. After all, it reminded me of my father... the reason I got this scar...
5. Tsuyu- The Lifeguard
Taking into account what hero internship Tsuyu chose, it is quite easy to determine what she would do with life if she wouldn’t become a hero. The sea is her area, and water is her friend. But she needs some contact with the land too like frogs do and she liked saving people so...
Tsuyu: Kero... *blows the whistle* Please get out of the water, a storm is coming!
6. Iida- The Pure Lawyer
Iida is the most Lawful Good person in existence, probably. He likes rules, knows them all, and is really dedicated to reminding others of them. Cases with his involvement would be guaranteed to be solved justly, regardless of the benefit of his client.
Iida: *gesticulation intensifies* Your honor, I urge you to consider Article 137, paragraph 3! And wear warmer clothes tomorrow, this weather can make you sick!
7. Kaminari- The Portable Phone Charger  Disco Bartender
Kaminari is surely someone who likes people and a good party. Even if his quirk would make him perfect for an electrician, quite certainly he’d just regard it FAR TOO DULL. This boy wants to be COOL. He’d probably try to work his way up to a manager or owner of his own club; but with his intelligence stats, this could take a while. For now, he’d make SHOCKING drinks and chat with everyone around.
Kaminari: *obviously flirting with customers and showing off his cool electricity tricks* yEAH MY FUTURE CLUB WILL BE THE COOLEST! Imagine like... MEME THEMED PARTY
Customer: *quietly* That sounds kind of cringy...
8. Mina- The Kids Entertainer
Mina just seems like someone who’d be simply ADORED by kids. She’s sweet, bubbly, so so fun, and looks like she’s dressed up already! The Alien Queen parties would be booked months in advance. And every kid would dream of getting one for their birthday...
Mina: IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Kids: *climb on her back trying to touch the horns* ALIEN QUEEEEEN!!!
9. Kirishima & Testutetsu- The MMA stars
STRONG BOIS. MASCULINE BROS. GOTTA BE THE MANLIEST and gayest. MMA ROCKS AND HAS A HEART OF STEEL! Also Kirishima would be quickly voted the greatest cinnamon roll of MMA
Tetsutetsu: *screaming and wrestling*
Kirishima: *screaming and wrestling wholesomely*
10. Ojiro- The Veterinary Assistant
Ojiro isn’t the greatest fan of the spotlight, and probably would enjoy a calm, but helpful job as a veterinary assistant. Plus, his tail can give him instant connection points with scared, caudate pets!
Ojiro: *waggles his tail*
A normally aggressive dog: *waggles the tail back and jumps to lick his face*
Ojiro: *giggles, petting the dog* See, there’s nothing to be scared of!
11. Toru- The Shop Assistant actually secretly a CIA Covert Investigator but shhh it’s a secret
We know that Toru likes shopping and would probably be great as a boutique employee. She’s sweet, she has great social skills, and she certainly has style! But at the same time... it would be hard to believe that with her quirk she didn’t get a suggestion to become a spy alongside her job. Did she agree? Did she not? I guess we’ll never know...
Toru: You look amazing in this suit, Mr. President! I think you should really buy it! *places a tiny hidden camera inside the pocket*
12. Koda- The Wildlife Rehabilitator 
There is no other job where the ability to talk to the animals would be more life-saving than a wildlife rehabilitator. Also, taking into account how shy Koda seems, he’d probably prefer to work with animals rather than humans...
Koda: Don’t worry, sweet bunny! You’re safe now!
Bunny: *noms on his plushie*
13. Aoyama- The Sparkling Model
Was there ever any doubt? Aoyama would be a STUNNING model. Just imagine...
*LIGHTS OFF*
*A REFLECTOR ILLUMINATES A SINGLE SPOT ON THE STAGE*
*EPIC MUSIC PLAYS, THE CROWD WHISPERS EXCITED*
AND THERE HE COMES......
Aoyama in his new pajamas collection!
Aoyama: I cAnNoTu StOpPu SpArKLiNg!!
14. Yaomomo- The Patient Teacher
Lecturing Mina and Kaminari among others before the exams just HAD to take lots of patience and supreme teaching skills. If she managed to make these two pass, she can definitely deal EVEN with a class of 30 10-year-olds.
Momo: *for the 13th time* Now, let’s try again! 2 times 3 is?
Some kid with IQ of Kaminari an ameba: ....4?
15. Jirou- The Sound Engineer
She’d definitely keep playing music as her hobby but she seems like a person who’d like to have a stable, technical job as her primary source of income nonetheless. Plus, her quirk would be perfect to hear out the slightest inadequacies of sound!
Jirou: So we have to add gain here, equalize there, distort over here, and probably remaster the whole thing too.
A very confused beginning artist: Uh-uh...
16. Tokoyami- The Subculture Shop Owner
Tokoyami is such a goth birb. So dramatic. So dark. If any goths or emos saw his room in the dorms they would all LOVE this aesthetic. As such, he’d make a good job at picking and selling clothes and accessories for fellow goths and other subcultures. And having Dark Shadow would just make him more famous...
Some goth girl: So you’re like... REALLY filled with a Dark Shadow of you? That’s so spooky!
Tokoyami, who already heard this question 20 times in the past 2 hours: What do you want to buy?
17. Sero- The Steeplejack
With that quirk, he pretty much wouldn’t have to worry about falling. Not to mention THE POWER OF FLEX TAPE
Sero: *swinging on the tape on top of a cathedral* This is pretty fun!
Other steeplejacks: *clinging to their ladders* Watch out!
18. Satou- The Pastry Cook
Mmmm his cakes. The world lost a treasure when Satou decided to be a hero instead of a pastry cook. Truly heartbreaking. Think of all the tasty things he would make constantly...
Class 1A, plotting behind his back: We have to make Satou fall out of the hero course
Satou, terrified: G-guys! I can bake you cakes without that!
19. Mineta- The Pimp *mild NSFW*
I am so sorry. Oh, wait, actually I’m not. Why is Mineta even trying to be a hero? I mean, should THAT be the job of his dreams?
Mineta: *manic laughter* OH MY IT’S LIKE A WET DREAM
20. Monoma- The Professional 4chaner  Internet Troll Actually why did I cross it off, that’s exactly what he’d do
I have no words.
Monoma: *sips Red Bull, typing* HA! CLASS 1A! YOU SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES REEEEEEEEEEE CUCK
21. Shinsou- The Questionable Detective
Ah yes. The police for introverts. Like Midoriya, Shinsou would probably want to save people a lot, so I reckon he’ll choose this path if he wouldn’t become a hero. Just think of how useful his quirk could be...
Shinsou: *having a suspect hypnotized* Knock on the table three times if you did it.
Suspect: *knocks*
Another detective: ...Are you sure this is ethical?
22. Hatsume- The Weirdly Motherly Engineer
I mean, she sort of already is one... But she could probably design much more than just hero costumes! What if she went to robotics... Then her babies could actually talk back to her!
Hatsume, turning on a new robot: My new baby!
Robot: *turning to Hatsume* Mama!
Every human being around: *assessing Hatsume’s age and judging hard*
23. All Might- The Hollywood celebrity specializing in superhero movies!
#LETALLMIGHTPLAYCAPTAINAMERICA2018
All Might: *looking at the shipping fanarts following the movie world premiere* ...........why has my life come to this
24. Aizawa- The Cat Cafe owner
CATS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE. If he had the money and time, he’d FOR SURE set up his own cafe of purring babies. And he’d be very protective over them every time he’d visit...
Aizawa: *thunder in eyes* Don’t you DARE disturb Marshmallow’s sleep, you can pet her when she wants to and ONLY IF she wants to
Mic: AWWWW MARSHMALLOW THAT’S ADORABLEEE
Aizawa: *aggressive whispering* I swear if your screams wake her up I WILL assassinate you
25. Present Mic- The Full-time Radio Host
I mean, this one is kind of obvious. How does he have 3 jobs at once anyway?
Mic: *PLAYS AFRICA BY TOTO FOR THE 3RD TIME DURING HIS 4 HOUR PROGRAM* I BLESS THE RAIN DOWN IN AAAAAAFRICAAAAA yo what do you mean I’m being cringy
26. Midnight- The 18+ Domina
Another kinda obvious one? Oh well. She’d be happy and empowered doing that, so don’t judge.
Midnight: Ah, so exciting!!
27. Tomura- The Unemployed
Tomura’s personality doesn’t seem exactly suited for any kind of work... or society, for this matter. At least as long as All For One is around, he’d certainly rest on him, gaming his days away. And after that... even though his sensei already planned for him to take over his company, Tomura prefers not to think about that.
Tomura: *hissing at any opportunity of a job* I don’t like this quest *hides in the hoodie*
28. All For One- The Plotting CEO
All For One seems to love his suit and wears it quite well, so he could certainly do well at a largely formal, managing job. And he’d be the first to exploit ALL for ONE, something that large businesses unfortunately often do...
All For One: *ruining someone’s life and fortune with a smirk* How unfortunate... for you, of course.  
29. Toga- The Professional Cosplayer
Toga’s quirk and erm... interests seem to be perfect for her to be a psycho fan of real-life celebrities, whose blood she steals for her cosplays. As these “cosplays” she makes are literally perfect, she manages to get quite a lot of money from the photoshoots. The celebrities are just very surprised noticing a fresh needle wound on their arm when they wake up in the morning...
Toga: *jumping up and down* I want to become them all! I will become them all! I want to cut them! Blood!

as a teenager and maybe a little further
She realised her father didnt love her as much he did her sister the day she turned 13.
It always been about Noelle, she mused, watching him hug her older twin sister. Noelle, the straight A student. Noelle, the absolute sweetheart. Noelle, his perfect daughter.
Wasn't that funny, she thought, that depite marrying a creative woman named Aspen and having a creative daughter, he adored the logical one of his children. 
Chana knew Sebastian loved Aspen, it would be impossible to say otherwise, but she didn't think he loved her as much.
In fact, she knew he didn't.
Chana started wearing brown contacts the day after she turned 14.
She was the only one with black hair and blue eyes like her father and she hated it. 
Sebastian hated it but who cared what he thought. It wasn't coming out of his money.
Maven had taken one look and accepted it. But that was Maven for you.
Maven and she bought a box of hair dye and sequestered themselves in Maven’s bathroom. 
They didn't come out until every lock on her head was a dark blue colour.
Oh, how the air went thick with anger when her parents saw it. Chana was grounded but she didn't care. She just laughed.
That was her first open act of teenage rebellion.
It only got worst from there.
“Why did I let you talk me into this?”
Chana looked at her sister out of the corner of her eye for a moment before tossing her head back with a laugh. “If I recall correctly, my nerdy sister dear, you wanted to prove that you weren't a scaredy cat.”
“Only because you provoked me,” then, after a few moments, “and don’t call me a nerd!” was added.
“Isn't that what you are, though?” Maven chipped in with her two cents.
“Screw you.”
“You couldn't land me even if you tried, darling,” Maven retorted with a toss of her head, pointedly ignoring her best friend’s hysterical laughter.
“She’d have to be Cassandra Goth to do that,” Chana managed to get out through her laughter.
“Chana, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it, mom?” the girl finished tying her newly purple hair into pigtails and faced her mother.
“Well, you know how your father and I were talking about having another child a few months ago?”
“Yeah...” Chana thought she knew where this was going.
“I’m pregnant,” Aspen said, patting her stomach meaningfully with a smile on her face.
“Congratulations, mom!” Chana got up from the bar stool and hugged her.
“Thank you, dear.”
“I dont think dad likes me that much, “ Vera, her sweet little sister revealed to her one night when they were both down in the basement.
“I think he feels the same about me to be honest, kiddo,” Chana rested her head on the palm of her hand.
“I mean, I love him. But...”
“Yeah, I feel you.”
Now, despite her attitude most of the time, Chana didn't hate her sister. Not that much at least. 
That changed when she saw Noelle making out with her girlfriend.
What followed were two fights in quick succession, a telling off from her father and a break up with her girlfriend.
“We’re adults now,” Maven said, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
“And you’re dating Jace Bell. That’s something I would never have thought possible.”
“Don’t remind me...”
“Hey, Chana?” 
The girl turned around in her swivel chair to face her now teenaged little sister. “Yeah, kiddo?”
“Can I tell you something?” Vera asked, walking in and perching on the edge of the bed.
“Shoot.”
“Okay, so you know how I had a crush on Lucas when I was a kid and he returned it and we were best friends but we also hugged a lot more than normal best friends? Well...he asked me over to his house and I didn't expect anything but then he asked me to be his girlfriend.”
“What did you say?”
“I...I said yes,” Vera admitted.
“Good for you, kiddo! I hope your love life is more stable than mine.”
Chana sighed, looking around at the many cardboard boxes that filled the apartment. 
It wasn't that big but it was hers. Hers to decorate, hers to live in.
She sank to the floor and smiled. 
Things were looking up.
A very disjointed story, featuring the main events of Chana’s life so far.
@writer-grandma, idk but I think it’s okay???

Do You Have Any Pets: Yes 24. Do You Want To Change Your Name: I want to add an ´ on one on the letters because my name is pronounced the French way but spelt without the accent it needs so I only ever hear it pronounced the German way and I don’t like it.

(But it’s also fucking grating)  25. What Did You Do For Your Last Birthday: I went to a restaurant with my grandparents and my Mum and after that I hang out with friends. 26.

One of my goals is to train my left hand again. I want to write like Leonardo Da Vinci. 47: Ever Had Surgery: Yes, but it was very one-sided. 48. Piercings: Just my earlobes - I did those three times by now though, because it heals every time. 49.

More General

Drinking: Nothing but there’s an empty tea mug in front of me and it’s going to be filled again later. 54. I’m About To Watch: Well, the new episode of Gotham will be out today so that’s on the menu for sure. 55. Waiting For: The next episode of Gotham. Also for an M&M to melt. 56. Want: A space-ship, please. Also space-ship flying lessons. 57. Get Married: Not sure. But if I do, I’m going to wear red and it wil be in a castle. 58. Career: Teacher, likely, writer in my dreams
Which Is Better
59. Hugs Or Kisses: Depends on the kisser. And the hugger. But really, since there’s more people you can hug at any given time but usually only one you can kiss, the hug-economy is far more accessible to the touch-starved poletariat. Down with the kissing-bourgeoisie. The only right and true answer though is someone nuzzling my neck. 60. Lips Or Eyes: Eyes are definitely more useful. 61. Shorter Or Taller: For myself? Taller. Other people should be shorter - to make me look taller. 62. Older Or Younger: Like most people, I get older. 63. Nice Arms Or Stomach: My arms are useful for reaching things and lifting things and driving cars and petting dogs. My stomach mostly gets me in trouble. So arms win. 64. Hookup Or Relationships: Relationships 65. Troublemaker Or Hesitant: Hesitant Troublemaker
Have You Ever
66. Kissed A Stranger: Yes 67. Drank Hard Liquor: Yes 68. Turned Someone Down: Yes 69. Sex On First Date: No 70: Broken Someone’s Heart: He deserved it. 71. Had Your Heart Broken: Nah. 72. Been Arrested: Nope 73. Cried When Someone Died: Yes 74. Fallen For A Friend: Nö.
Do You Believe In
75. Yourself: I most certainly exist. 76. Miracles: No 77. Love At First Sight: No 78. Santa Claus: No 79. Angels: No Angels.
Misc
80. Eye Colour: Blue 81. Best Friend’s Name: I’m not really a 1 Single Best Friend Person. 82. Favourite Movie: Sooo many.Lately I’ve become a bit introspective about why Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 became one of my favourite comfort movies despite being a Marvel flick about space racoons and a talking baby tree (and despite people usually preferring the first one) and I guess it’s its sincere heart-felt message about telling your Dad to fuck off.  83. Favourite Actor: I’m really not good at nailing things down to a single person it seems. Michelle Gomez at least in terms of intensity?
84. Favourite Cartoon: Avatar The Last Airbender and Kim Possible probably have the biggest place in my heart. 85. Favourite Teacher’s Name: Josie. I’m my own favourite teacher.

Katsuhira Yuuta+Shuuta
Hi, I thought I’d make a post about my Tokyo Ghoul oc, Katsukira Yuuta, and his dynamics with Tsukiyama Shuu!
100% japanese, 27 years old, born 17th june, full ghoul, ukaku
wavy brown hair (see Harry Styles 2017), dark brown eyes, full lips, earrings (tiny and black/silver, nothing too flashy), 1,90m tall (6’2” i think??)
pretty fit but not over the top, likes football and sometimes roller skating for fun
small heart shaped mole under his right ear, Shuu loves it
bisexual, realized it when he was 18 but has always been pretty chill about it
backstory: relatively normal/happy childhood, his father died when he was 16 because of the CCG, that’s why he accepts to join GOAT so easily
his mom died when he was 22, she was a very positive female figure in his life 
got along well with both his parents, especially his mom
momma’s boy
dropped out after 2 years of university to help his mom, studied Biology
likes animals and plants
keeps a “bad boy” appearance to seem tough but he’s just really sweet and has a lot of love to give
likes books, most of them are similar to Shuu’s tastes
fav tv shows: the walking dead, naruto, game of thrones, sailor moon
fav animal is polar bear, fav color is blue
he often wears his dad’s leather jacket
considers his motorcycle as his child and calls her Baby
usually cheerful and flirty, especially with someone he likes
has had 2 girlfriends and 1 boyfriend, but it was never something serious
he doesn’t cry often, except with the lion king, the last Indiana Jones movie, the wizard of oz and armageddon
has had an emo phase at 13-15
he doesn’t mind studying, as long as it’s not too much
before joining GOAT he worked at a genius bar in an apple store, he likes computers, phones and tech in general
what he feels for Shuu kinda scares him at first bc he has never felt something like this for anyone, but he quickly accepts his feelings and learn to love him, and he promises to himself that he will help him in any way he can bc he loves this boy so much
knows like 2 words in French but wants shuu to teach him
he just wants shuu to wear glasses and a sweater vest, giving him the professor vibe
doesn’t mind kaneki but he kinda doesn’t like him at the same time for what he did to Shuu
nihsiki and banjou are his bros
has never rly built a relationship with touka
has instantly fell in love with Hinami and after a while he begins to consider her sort of like his lil sister, they bond over disney movies
is a pretty skilled fighter but still needs some polishing, so sometimes he spars with nishiki, naki or someone else, but mostly Shuu
who wouldn’t mind flirting if they weren’t currently fighting
Now I’ll list some headcanons I talked about with @sandypenguin6 !!!
sometimes Shuu wears Yuuta’s leather jacket and Yuuta adores it
after a while Shuu gets more comfortable and initiates physical contact gives Yuuta kisses and sits in his lap
Shuu loves holding hands
he’s never had much physical contact so he glues himself to Yuuta
pirate!Yuuta and mermaid!Shuu is a thing
Shuu would lure him in with singing but he’s too cute to kill so he drags him back to the shore
Yuuta wakes up and sees something disappearing, he wants to know what saved him so he comes back to the shore every day until he meets Shuu
sometimes he goes mailing alone and Shuu follows him in the water
Yuuta: “did you clean your pants with windex bc i can see myself in them” Shuu: “i’m leaving you”
Yuuta uses terrible pick-up lines and Shuu looks at him with murder in his eyes but at the same time he thinks “oh god i can’t not fuck him”
during the first days of their relationship Yuuta is pretty sure it’s not gonna be anyhting too serious, then he wakes up one morning, looks at this beautiful sleeping angel in his arms and thinks “uh oh”
they’d do anything to protect each other
during a fight a dove has Shuu cornered and says “your friend won’t save you now” and Shuu just decks him and yells “he’s my boyfriend you dumb slut”
Mirumo would be so happy his son got over that “goth young man”
he’d be so supportive, even after Shuu tells him Yuuta has a motorcycle
he’d come back a day later with condoms and lube and tell Shuu “you’e now an adult, be responsible” bc he’s not a regular dad, he’s a cool dad
Yuuta would be a little intimidated by him at first but they’d get along really well
he’d show him Shuu’s baby and teenage pictures while Shuu screams in the background
Shuu has told Yuuta some adventures of his Gourmet days, like that time he ore off and ate a councilman’s balls, and Yuuta is impressed
“i also tried to eat kaneki-kun while he ate someone else” “you didn’t tell me you were this kinky”
Shuu feels undeserving at first bc he’s still not over Kaneki and Yuuta deserves someone who can love him unconditionally, but Yuuta shushes him, holds him and kisses his worries away
sometimes Shuu doesn’t cry but he looks for Yuuta, pulls him in bed and climbs onto him like a koala without a word
Shuu is confused because he’s not used to receiving this kind of affection, or affection at all, but he loves it
when Yuuta finds out he makes sure to kiss him and touch him all over to assume him that he’s there
Shuu would be the first one to say i love you! Yuuta has known for a while but didn’t tell him because he didn’t wanna pressure him, but one day Shuu blurts it out and Yuuta pushes him against the walls and repeats “i love you, i love you” between kisses
Shuu manager to get over Kaneki in 2/3 months but he’s still sensitive when he’s around him so Yuuta holds his hand to remino him that he’s there
if they could they’d elope to get married bc Shuu thinks it’s romantic
Kaneki is a little disappointed and he thinks of Shuu as “the one who got away” but he’s happy that Shuu is finally happy
Kaneki is still super important to Shuu and he’s very attached to him, just not romantically anymore
Yuuta feels a little threatened not by the actual Kaneki, but the image of him Shuu has created in his mind, but he gets over that quickly and Shuu has eyes only for Yuuta
Shuu is late for a meeting and when he comes in he looks at Yuuta first and Yuuta knows there’s nothing to be worried about
sometimes Yuuta smokes but he eventually stops for Shuu
Shuu is weak every time Yuuta wakes up with light stubble and begs him not to shave
if Yuuta gets sick he insists that he isn’t and tries to seduce Shuu by seductively rubbing Vaporub on his chest and making noises, and of course Shuu gives in
if Shuu were sick Yuuta would become a super mom
Shuu is a cuddle monster
Yuuta knows that he’s Shuu first boyfriend and he tries to make every experience the best he’ll ever have
“i’m happy i’m your first” “and hopefully the last too!”
as of marriage proposals, Yuuta would think of something super elaborate and romantic but he’d just blurt it ut during a makeout session and tries to ignors but Shuu tackles him and accepts his proposal
the ring is silver with a small diamond in the center
Mirammo would be crying tears of joy, Hinami is super excited and Nishiki jokingly asks Yuuta if he’s really sure, Yuuta looks at Shuu adoringly and says “yes, 100% sure”
a few days later Kaneki calls Shuu and gives him a handmade black yarn bracelet bc he wants to congratulate Shuu and indirectly tell him that he’s sorry
Shuu thanks him and tells him that he has to move on but Kaneki will still be a huge part of his life and they hug tightly
one day when they’re not together yet Yuuta walks in a room while Shuu is working out and doing the splits and Yuuta has an aneurysm
Yuuta tries to play it cool and starts doing lift but he’s showing off for Shuu and even adds groans that sound like sex noises before taking off his shirt and splashing water all over his chest
Shuu starts salivating and he has to get up to wrap his sweatshirt around his waist bc of a “little” problem
the next workout Shuu wears a pair of booty shorts so tiny they might as well be slips and bends over right in front of Yuuta who combusts
hey’d start a seduction contest, seeing who’ll break first
one time Shuu arrived late for a meeting, there were no seats left and sat down in Yuuta’s lap, who can’t concentrate at all
NSFW headcanons!
Shuu is inexperienced so Yuuta always takes it slow and makes sure Shuu is super comfortable
if only Shuu gets to finish and he’s tired, Yuuta would go to the bathroom to finish himself off and come back for cuddles
Shuu loves hickeys
Shuu is loud during sex bc he’s not used to it and it feels so good, so Yuuta is always shushing or kissing him but it doesn’t work and if there’s someone in the rooms next to theirs they hear everything
when Yuuta is behind him Shuu mons louder just so that Yuuta would cover his mouth with a hand and be a little rougher
when he tops for the first time Shuu is always asking Yuuta if he’s okay, if it feels good and Yuuta praises him the whole time
afterwards Shuu complains that it’s too tiring and collapses on Yuuta, who just chuckles and kisses his forehead
Shuu’s flexibility comes in handy
they love leasing the fuck out of each other, both during sex and also with things like making bedroom eyes at each other in public and playing footsie under a table/touching each other's thighs/ass
Yuuta has an unhealthy obsession with Shuu’s ass and more often than he’d like to admit Shuu finds himself with bite marks on his asscheeks

Dresden Files: Salem 13
Lots of stuff going on this session: Dad the Impaler, Christmas, some Very Important bluebooking, demons, and the appearance of a beloved character from the books!  Be on the lookout for a lot of interesting links this chapter.
Bonus: Adler’s human form!
Previous installments
The kneeling man was unremarkable, wearing a normal hoodie and evidently a mortal.  The woman seated at the head of the table, however, was unearthly pale with black hair and black eyes, wearing a cloak of raven feathers with even more woven into her hair.  Conan drew his pistol and told them to put their hands up, but the woman was unimpressed, asking who he was and why he was in her home.  Eunice said that he was a police officer following stolen goods, and the woman turned to her servitor and asked him what a police officer was.  The man said that they enforced the laws of the land and she asked him if he had broken any, commending him when he admitted he had.  Baz asked what ritual she was performing, and the woman blithely said it was her evening dinner, which Evelyn thought might actually be the case.  Baz asked why she’d gone through all that effort to get the skull then, and she told him she probably would do some rituals in the future, but not tonight.  On that note, why should she not simply kill the intruders in her home?  Baz said because he was the local Warden and she admitted that was a good reason, no offense had been meant by her question.  Further pressing on the subject of rituals revealed that she would likely use the skull’s power to escape this prison.  The group was taken aback by this and asked why she was in prison and who had put her there, to which she answered murder to the first and a wizard currently going by Listens to Wind to the last, then introducing herself as the Morrigan, which Ath was incredibly unhappy about.  Baz seemed to take this all more seriously knowing who had imprisoned her and said he wanted the skull back.  She asked what good it would do her to surrender it to him and he asked what she wanted, other than freedom.  She said prayers and sacrifices - like most powerful entities - and Baz called a group huddle and suggested giving the Formori cultists they had to kill to her.  No one was especially comfortable with this idea, especially Conan, but the tiny influx of power generated by the cultists they already had to kill anyway wouldn't give the Morrigan nearly enough power to break out, so the only objections were vague moral ones.  Ath pointed out that as they'd been talking, the hall had been filling with more and more of the mummified ravens, which would no doubt make fighting their way to take the skull and get back out much more difficult.  Baz asked the Morrigan what kind of rituals would be involved in a potential sacrifice and she said that just dedicating the kill to her would be enough, so he suggested trading the skull for the lives of some evil cultists.  She naturally wanted to know whose cultists they were and Ath said that he was surprised she hadn't felt it already.  She evidently had, because when she realized they were offering the followers of Lord Bres himself, she immediately agreed to the deal as an excellent way to thumb her nose at a rival power-player in Irish mythology.  She directed her servant to wash the blood out of the skull and turn it over, which he half-heartedly did.  Conan was disgusted with the entire situation and told the servant that if he ever saw him in Salem again, he'd arrest him, but the man smugly pointed out that he had no evidence.  Since he was off the clock and off the record, Conan kicked him in the balls and conceded the point.  Baz carefully took the skull, which was fairly buzzing with power and emitting a psychic screech, but he was so obviously uncomfortable with it that Ath offered to take it from him, as he was never phased by anything.
The group finally left the malevolent island and Conan asked what they were going to do with the evil black magic skull.  Baz didn't think the Council would give him any useful information about "Keith", but Adler did some digging around on the parts of the internet that liked his videos and found a conspiracy theory website dedicated to an unnamed black ops agent retrieving occult items for a rich collector in Eastern Europe.  Adler contacted the site owner for further information and the guy was thrilled to find someone who believed his tenuous web of connected events and suggested the collector might be none other than Vlad Dracul.  Eunice did her own research in the library and found that the skull had been sold to new owners in Eastern Europe several times at suspiciously generational intervals, as though an immortal were trying to quietly keep legal possession of it.  She asked Baz if there were any Wardens over there who could look into this mysterious owner, but he said that all the Russian Wardens had been killed at the beginning of the war with the Red Court and it would have fallen under their jurisdiction.  If it was Dracula, Baz reasoned, he evidently hadn't done anything with the evil-magic-battery for generations, which seemed safe enough, and Evelyn pointed out that Vlad Dracul was Dracula's father, not Dracula himself.  Eunice suggested telling Keith that they had concerns about his employer and giving him Baz's home number to pass along, reasoning that it would be better than giving him Adler's cell number and risking letting the horror junkie talk to Dracula.  At this point, Adler left the warded computer room and rejoined the conversation, exactly as starstruck at the idea of talking to Dracula as everyone expected him to be.  To avoid further confusion, the group dubbed Dracul "Dad the Impaler".  In the meantime, Eunice suggested, they could hide the skull in Ath's body, which Ath wasn't opposed to, but the others pointed out that this would both make him a target and draw attention to the powerful magical artifact that already lived in that body.  Magic being magic, they couldn't simply destroy the thing without releasing all the stored up dark energy inside it, either.  A sudden knock on the door interrupted the discussion and the peephole revealed it to have come from Kayla Monroe, the head of the local White Court.  Baz warned Conan not to make out with her because she was a succubus and Adler turned into his dog form as a reminder of what had happened last time she'd tried to use her seductive aura on the group.  They all went out to meet her on the front lawn, unwilling to invite her past the threshold, and she said she had a proposition: something valuable had come into the town and she wanted it.  In exchange, she would take it far away from Salem and promised not to use it to harm Baz or "his kind" (wizards? humans? who knows).  Baz asked what she would use it for and she said many things, but her enemies were also people that Baz wouldn't like, so it would benefit them both for her to have it.  Baz said he'd consider it and she took her leave, pretty certain that Baz meant no.  Conan suggested they start taking applications from all the people that wanted this thing so they could compare offers, then wondered if they couldn't just foist it off on Baz's bosses, but Baz said it was the Warden's job to take care of these things, so he was on his own.  He did, however, call the Council for information about Vlad Dracul and if it would be safe to trust him with the skull.  The Council clerk said that Vlad was a freeholding lord in his own right who had been collecting powerful artifacts for centuries.  That was worrisome, but he hadn't done anything with them yet, so the Council was content to let him go about his business for now.  With that ringing endorsement, the group decided to just call Keith and tell him to convince them that his employer would be safe to trust with it and while he was at it, who he actually was.  Keith preferred not to have this conversation over the phone, and met them at the Rowland Estate again.  Adler had set up his online contact's info in the form of a classic conspiracy board with red strings connecting everything and moved it out for Keith to see, but was disappointed when the man gave it barely a glance.  Keith admitted that he did work for Vlad Dracul, and that his employer was a great supporter of the status quo because of his place on top of it, and so was unlikely to use the skull to shake things up.  He didn't know why Dracul collected these things, but suspected it was a combination of keeping them off the streets where they could be used against him, and as a magical insurance policy should anyone try to move against him.  Baz in turn admitted that they had the skull and had no idea what to do with it, so Keith went out to his car to retrieve a box inscribed with containment runes.  Adler tried to get him to take a Dracula action figure back with him, but Keith declined, saying it would probably upset his boss (much to Adler's disappointment).  Keith put the box into a duffel bag filled with the pardons of wrongly convicted people as a sympathetic counter to the vindictive evil magic.  The group asked if he needed an escort, but Keith said he'd been doing this for a long time and took his leave (and the skull).  Adler complained that he hadn't even looked at the conspiracy board and was thrilled to find that some of the connections had been corrected without anyone seeing Keith do it.  Ath incidentally asked to stay at the mansion for a few days to make use of the magical lab for some experiments on his body.  Baz told him not to leave any spare parts around that would alarm his mother.
True to Cluracan's warning, Lord Oberon sent out an invitation for a Christmas party at the Summer Court, which was delivered by one of his “rescued” children.  The party was as fancy as one would expect a faerie court party to be and Baz showed up underdressed in a stupid Christmas sweater but arrived by riding on a feathery goth reindeer inspired by the Morrigan’s fashion sense because Adler refused to compromise his aesthetic for the holidays.  Much of the community was there, eager to see what the Summer Lord’s hospitality was like and it turned out to involve spontaneously-manifesting mistletoe over anyone who caught Oberon’s eye (Eunice slapped him and Conan managed to dodge out of the way, but Baz and Evelyn let themselves be “caught”).  Eunice tried to set Evelyn up with Ian Fitzpatrcik of Hamilton Hall, who was 20 years her senior; he politely declined.  A man named Matthew Sullivan was there representing the Monsters Union and tried to recruit Adler again, but Adler was more interested in giving the Summer children (of whom there were a few more than last time) rides as the goth reindeer.  Ath and Daniyah wallflowered together and Baz suggested that Lord Oberon grow some mistletoe between them, but the two ignored it and Daniyah’s owl pointedly ate the offending sprig, then started snatching other bits of mistletoe away just when other people were about to kiss.  Eunice cornered Oberon and explained some esoteric Christmas traditions from her ancient youth, which the Summer Lord was happy to hear about, no doubt planning on incorporating them into next year’s party.  The children were eventually put to bed and the tenor of the party changed notably toward the debauched.  Most of the locals left except for Kayla Monroe and Diane Basset, the owner of Neutral Grounds - and Evelyn, though she was dissuaded from staying by Eunice refusing to leave without her.
Back in the Bassam household, Baz presented all his friends with t-shirts to match his particular sense of humor (Evelyn, Eunice, Conan, Ath, Adler) and Adler’s reaction to it made everyone suddenly aware (very aware in Baz’s case) that Adler normally only shapeshifted his clothing, meaning he was, in fact, naked most of the time.  Eunice gave the group random objects stolen from her former nursing home.  Baz also took an entire roast goose through the Ways to Tibet as a Christmas present for Sam.  [Olivia came home for the holiday break from school and once the others left, Adler asked if she wanted to help him set up the online dating profile for Baz he had been planning.  Olivia unexpectedly stormed out of the room to yell at Baz, who abashedly sought out Adler a few minutes later with some questions for Adler: how would he feel dating someone older than he was (Adler felt that was inevitable, as he wasn’t going to date a child just because he was 8); was he interested in dating at all (yes, it seemed like something he should try); and would he like to try it with Baz?  Adler seemed surprised, but enthusiastic in his agreement, though only if he could set up the dating profile and then respond to it himself.  He was also very insistent that Baz not think that any ignorance of dating rituals was because he was a child, just that he didn’t have any experience in this.  For the dating profile, he had Baz make a small anti-magic circle so Adler could stand inside it with his phone and take a selfie of the two of them to use as the profile picture.  He then sent the entire profile to Olivia so she’d know her yelling at her brother for not having just asked him already had worked.]  
After Christmas, Conan was handed an investigation that might involve the occult community, since he had asked to take point on those cases due to his personal connections.  A woman had come in from out of town saying that her boyfriend or husband - the report wasn't clear - had come to the area a couple of months ago and disappeared.  When she'd come to look for him, she'd found that the entire building he'd been staying in had burned down, but she knew he couldn't have died in the fire because - she knew the officer wouldn't believe her - he was fire-proof.  Considering the officer in question was Conan, this seemed perfectly reasonable and he asked if she'd contacted anyone in the occult community.  She said that she had just come into town and the man she was looking for was supposed to make those connections and figure out where they'd fit in in the community.  Conan turned off the recording mic and asked if she was magic herself.  The woman was surprised, but said yes, she was a witch and the missing man was pyrokinetic.  Conan gave her Mary Harrison's number and she gave him a photo of Gary Bennett, the missing man, and her own cell number.  After she left, Conan realized that she somehow hadn't given a name on either the preliminary missing persons report or during his interview.  When he asked the other cops about it, they thought it was weird that none of them had even thought to ask, but wrote it off as a collective brain fart.  Conan looked into the burned building - an unsolved arson case no one had cared to look too far into because it was in a crappy area of town - but couldn't find records of a Gary Bennett living there.  He called Baz to see if the magical side knew anything and Baz immediately asked if either the lady or Bennett had seemed like demons.  Conan had no idea what he was talking about, but went over to the estate to show Baz Bennett's picture, and Baz said he was definitely the Denarian they had killed before (while incidentally causing the arson incident).  Conan said they needed to check on Mary, since he'd given the lady her number.  Adler came downstairs and asked what the point of being Catholic was if Conan couldn't even detect demons, and Conan said that sort of things was probably a priest's job, not random parishioners’.  Adler said that made Conan more of a "dabbler", then.  Baz ignored this and called Mary, warning her about possible Denarian involvement, though nothing for sure yet.  She said that the woman had contacted her, but only to ask after Bennett.  After the call, the group assembled and Conan asked exactly what they meant by “demon”.  The group told him it was exactly what he thought they meant, including recruiting a priest for help last time.  With no easy leads for tracking the woman down, the group headed to their main source of information, Daniyah, only to find that her territory kept getting weirder, now taking on aspects of the NeverNever in the real world.  Baz asked if she’d felt anything unusual entering town lately, and Daniyah said that she had, and it was under the town and it was evil.  Baz told her they suspected it was another Denarian and to let him know if she noticed anything changing, but she said that she had pulled her spirits back into her domain because the town was getting too dangerous for them.  Eunice decided Daniyah had let too many owls into the cottage and complained about them, but Daniyah told her that the owl had found her and not the other way around (the singular presumably referring to her main familiar).  Evelyn noticed that all the magical energy being siphoned out of the real world was going to that particular owl rather than Daniyah herself.
Adler pointed out that without Sam’s teeth, they didn’t have any holy weapons, which would make fighting a demon much harder, so Conan suggested asking Father Macklepenny to bless their weapons.  The group headed over to his church, but Eunice was unexpectedly stopped outside the boundaries of the holy ground; the little church had apparently gotten much holier since they’d last visited.  The others went inside only to find the Father unsurprised and not terribly happy to see them, but since a “specialist” had flown in unannounced a couple of hours ago, he knew it was only a matter of time.  The specialist turned out to be a huge black Russian man carrying a rapier which had a metaphysical presence all its own.  Ath reacted like he always did upon encountering powerful supernatural entities, people who were good with swords, or both: by trying to make himself as small and unobtrusive as possible (not easy for a weather-beaten old sailor of 6’5”).  The Russian introduced himself as Sanya, a Knight of the Cross, and said that there probably was a Denarian around because he had been stranded in the Boston airport and he always ended up exactly where he needed to be to fight them.  Baz asked if he had a way to track her down, but Sanya asked if Conan could do it as a policeman, disappointed that American TV had lied to him when Conan said that’s not how it worked.  Adler frustratedly told him that Conan couldn’t even secretly record conversations, then introduced himself and the group.  Baz and Sanya exchanged the tightest handshake they could manage, being both large muscular men, and instantly decided that they liked each other.  Conan had the woman’s phone number, but pointed out that if he called her there would be records and it would look extremely suspicious but was interrupted by Eunice yelling in from the outside that they’d forgotten about her.  After being assured that she was a safe ghost, Sanya granted her permission to be inside his extremely strong holy aura.  Adler was impressed that he was Catholic enough to have powers, but Sanya told him he was actually atheist, he just agreed with the Church’s goals.  Adler declared that Sanya was the exact opposite of Conan: powers without the belief instead of belief without the powers.
