#you can lure anyone w this song i trust you
Note
Hi!!! If your still taking requests can I ask abt mhin (from touchstarved) with a siren s/o?
MHIN WITH A SIREN S/O
gn!reader | ok. some gender stuff i had to work around here. since i couldn't 100% confirm if sirens affected only men or Everyone (yknow. w women Not Being Sailors) i went w the assumption Everyone is affected. "First you will come to the Sirens who enchant all who come near them" is GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!
and tho sirens are usually half-women i still used gender neutral terms! found depictions of male sirens which disappeared around the 5th century bce so. yknow. mythology.
! a Little difficult to safely prove your problem (especially if you run with the idea that sirens die if someone survives hearing their song) to mhin unless you're capable of transforming into the usual mermaid appearance, or perhaps the half-person half-bird version, etc. in which case,, it's pretty easy to tell. lol. to be fair you point out that mhin transforming isn't exactly safe either.
^ if it's the half-bird version i think they would exhibit a Certain kind of Shock since their form is also some sort of bird creature. like okayyy twinning ?! you'd get to compare your forms and they're like ? there's some major differences between us but i see what you mean
it intrigues them about how good your voice could be, and they wonder how long they could listen or if there's some sort of work around. like would it affect them the same if They were in their monster form, and do either of you really want to test that theory
^ specifically a solution that doesn't involve others bc there Is already 2 solutions,, but neither of you are very excited by this experiment Or involving anyone else.
one big (good!) difference is the fact that you both know you aren't alone, if ykwim. like, it isn't being a siren that's important to mhin, it's that you guys can relate to each other's problems and can face them Together
there is definitely. a conversation you have about whether you enjoy being a siren or if you would try to get rid of that part of you if given the chance. how your thoughts compare to mhin's, and reassuring them that even if You didn't want a 'cure', you understand why they do and support them. or that you Would choose to be something else,, and mhin keeping that info in the back of their mind for later
anyway. on a more lighthearted note.
in general, mhin doesn't really treat you differently than they would if you weren't a siren. other than maybe making sure you aren't picked for karaoke and—depending on how often you sing while alone—making sure it's safe to come into your room, it doesn't affect day-to-day life very much!
being a siren doesn't stop any date ideas, walking around, physical affection, etc. What about a good singing voice means you can't tease them or help them clean up after a mission or trying new sweets together. LOVE WINS!
imagine if it was like,, you had to have the intent of luring someone in + you don't Die if your 'target' survives,, so you could hum or sing without someone being in danger. and Mhin knows that. but the others don't. Idk i think we should let them be a menace. support it, even. play along, if you will
^ ! if this was the case they would at least be very interested in hearing you sing while you're one-on-one. like as a siren Out of the water Not leading sailors into a rocky death,, if you're in a safe enough environment, there's really less risk of...death. and they trust you!
but seriously,, ais and vere say something irritating and mhin is shooting you a look. and you have to tell them No you will Not sing to fuck with them right now
mhin asking if there's specific songs you have to sing or if you could technically sing something dumb + silly. not because they secretly think it'd be amusing to watch someone fall under your control but solely because of curiosity /sarc
! being a siren could potentially pull off different jobs which means you can work as a Team :) no longer alone!
are you a siren with a mermaid form? if given the chance mhin would take you to...a lake...the ocean... a body of water so you can show them what you look like, and they're just. in awe. they understand how sailors would've fallen for you and others like you
Something to be said of how mhin wishes their curse was more like yours in this case (alluring, control over your power, not intrinsically horrific, etc) but Let's not think about that too much

Coraline AU(Self?You?Y/N?) insert
//blood gore slight body horror? (button eyes you know coraline)
You're parents kinda suck ass they aren't the worst people but they've only gotten more distant since you came out, all you wanted was them to call you their son but they don't even call you their 'daughter' anymore. You have to move with them again it's not like you move a lot but you still didn't want to so here you were being decidedly angsty as you drive up to this ugly almost Victorian looking house, you hope there's asbestos in the walls so you'll just get poisoned and die that'd be nice.
You take your stuff to your room noticing a funny looking door beside your room so after unpacking (more or less) you decided to look into it, I mean it was getting late and your parents already seemed to be going to bed. so you found your way back quickly, you managed to open the smaller door and looked in, inside wasn't a closet like you thought but a tube like hallway.
against you better judgment you decide to climb through and you come out the other side and really you've got no clue what you had expected when you went through but it wasn't to come out in a new house the same size as yours,
"Y/N!~" you jumped at your name the voice sounded like your mom (ish?) but she never called you your name, never said a name in general at this point like if she ignored you the 'problem' would go away "Y/N! I made some cinnamon rolls come try one!" Okay not your mom, you kinda wanted to turn back but you stepped forward looking over the railing to see the kitchen light,
You decided to go down lured by the siren song of any sort of love, as you walk into the kitchen you a see a tall black haired woman standing beside the oven, she was bony and absolutely not your mom, "W-who are you?" you managed to ask, she turned smiling at you unlike how your mom actually did
well hello dear, you're so silly, who am I? It's your mother you dork, now you need to sit down and try these cupcakes?" You paused cupcakes? She said cinnamon rolls right? you look up and shes somehow standing right in front of you, smiling, "Do you not want any? that's alright why don't we go to your room and I'll sing a bit for you," of course you get scared and start to leave the room, if you ran you could totally make it back to that door right? but the moment you were past the doorway she noticed,
"yes let's go!" she quickly walked over lifting you up effortlessly
"If yo-you're my mom wh-where's dad?" you managed to stutter through your questions
"You don't need a dad, in fact you don't need anyone just me!" she set you down outside of a different room then what your actual mom had said was your room, "Silly little boy! you must need some sleep, but before you sleep I have a surprise just sit on bed and I'll get it!" you wanted to except the love but at the same time she was just wrong
"I just wanna go to bed I think," you stated looking away as she pulled you into the room, she laughed awkwardly moving you to a desk chair,
"No,no,no,no, I've got to get your present first just wait!" as she walked away you realized you hadn't actually looked at her face, you wanted to leave the room but before you could make an escape she walked back in with a box in her hands, "Now I've been waiting so long to give this to you!"
"We've never met before," you said determined, she was so damn tall you looked up and realized her eyes weren't eyes they were buttons, she was shaking her head and brushed long thin fingers through your short hair,
"Not yet we hadn't but it's fine, I've just been waiting too long my boy," the box felt more menacing then before as she set it in your lap, "Now open the box,"
"What's in it," you asked glaring up at her feeling trapped, not yet physically but it wouldn't take much on her side to change that,
"Just open it, trust me dear," she traced a sharp nail over the engraving on the lid it said your name, you slowly opened it inside was a pair of buttons, "Ah!" she cheered a little, "We match now love, I'll put it on for you!" she pushed you back taking the buttons out of the box and you frantically began fighting against her, you let out a yell of pain as the needle stabs through part of your skin,
"Stop it!" with a scream you managed to throw her arms back tearing the thread out of your cheek, she gasped a bit and you take the moment to try and run away, as you try and make it to the door you see her right behind you, before you can reach it it's slammed shut and three little kids are standing in front of it "Motherfucker!" You shouted but before you could try and get them to move the woman claiming to be your mother has pinned you to the floor,
"What's wrong? Do you not want me to be your mother? I can be your father?" her face shifts terrifyingly into a warm looking man, "Or a different looking mother?" she shifts to a similar face of her own yet kinder less sharp, "Your sibling? do you want two parents?" she contorts her body terrifying you more and more,
"Please!" You sob out, "What do you want from me?!" more arms split from her back as she begins to sew the buttons over your eye, you scream in pure agony as blood drips from the torn skin, you kick and struggle sobbing and screaming as your eyes are replaced,
"Don't worry my dear, I just want to take care of you, I swear, I lied to those children but you my son, will be different," she finishes sewing soon enough, blood covered your cheeks as it mixed with your tears, "I know it hurts, when I force it it hurts very much, but you'll heal my boy," you sobbed as your sight was robbed from you falling weakly to the floor.
"Why?" you groan sadly, you flinch when her cold hand touches your face,
"I love you don't worry, you'll be able to see when you heal more," you stay limp even when she gets off of you, "Y/N please I'm gonna protect you, you don't like your family anyways and now you have me, I'll never ignore you like them or misgender you, or hurt you, you are mine"
And you are. For good

uknowho again... I like the idea of signing off w an emoji so i think i will use this one from now on -> 🍄 hehe
thinkin about deep benb some more... what do you think its like when he surfaces to take gordn back down with him?
he's probably only visible to Gordn, anyone else seeing nothing and cameras getting distorted like in that other ask. Ben may be in a human form at first, but it disappears as gordn approaches the beach. The first few times, Ben expects him to jump back into the frigid water and meet him below - but when Gordn hesitates, ben figures he can help make it easier. His massive snout rises out of the water, opening in front of gord, hot, humid breath washing over him.
While they're getting used to each other, whenever Gordn sees Ben from the outside, he's nearly frozen with fear - he can never quite wrap his head around how truly massive Ben is until he sees it. Just the tip of Ben's snout is wider than the dock Gordn stands on, his fangs dwarfing Gordn himself. He knows Ben won't hurt him - but instinctual fears take time to quell. And even then, the entire situation still has him on edge and confused. This enormous, unknowable creature has taken an interest him, but rather than wanting to lure him to his death or drive him mad it just wants to... hold him. Keep him. Its desires are... surprisingly domestic, for a deep sea god. It never asks anything of Gordn but for him to return, and Gordn is always swaddled safely in its hold when he does, squeezed but never held too hard, sung lullabies of whale song that ease his nerves and guide him to sleep.
It takes a while for Gord to realize Ben doesn't have some overarching purpose or evil plan. Ben just wants Gordn. He wants Gordn safe. And eventually, Ben realizes he wants Gordn happy too.
Ben trusts Gord to leave longer. Gord's legs carry him back to the docks without him feeling as much unease, because he knows he'll come back to the surface again, and because he's getting used to that massive shape that's waiting for him in the water. When Gordn is abducted by BMesa, and Ben saves him, Gordn realizes just what it means to have an eldritch sea god on his side.
He also realizes two other things: living in a sea gods guts means he doesn't have to pay rent. Or get a shitty intern job at an unethical research facility.
He begins to slide onto Bens tongue with practiced ease, any reluctance gone from him, welcoming the warmth that seeks to surround him.
i bet when gord goes into benb's maw, it just looks to any outsiders like he's just sinking down into the water rather than a giant squid-dragon's throat.
also i love thinking about BOTH of them getting all soft n fond for each other ;o;
benb realizing that he cares about this human's thoughts and feelings, and gord realizing that this big eldritch god cares about him as a person rather than just a pet now...
and then both of them eventually realizing 'oh shit i might be in love'

Dear Santa... er, sugarbeandudes, I've been a good Kiki and I'd like to request either headcanons about how it would go, or a ficlet, about Bandit proposing marriage to Jäger, or about Ash & Mira's first Christmas together, whichever idea you like better!
Okay okay! you’re not on the naughty list! so here’s your gift!
Make a wish
Bandit/Jäger Rated T
2k + words :) enjoy!
okay so i also cryied w this :’)
Bandit was seating over his beautiful Harley motorcycle, scrolling endlessly through his phone as he waited for Jäger to join him. “Mari I’m leaving without you!” Bandit chanted without taking his look off the screen of his phone.
“I’m almost done!” Jäger screamed as he walked outside their home as he pushed down on himself one of Bandit’s various hoodies and closed the door with his foot.
“What took you so long Katze?” Bandit asked putting his phone away in the pocket of his jacket, passed a helmet over to his lover who just sat behind him, and turned on the motorcycle.
“All my hoodies were dirty, so I borrowed one from your drawer, you don’t mind Ja?” Jäger encircled Bandit’s waist as he always did, curling up towards his back seeking a little warmth, the night was indeed chilly. “So where are we going anyway?”
“Oh, that’s secret, Mari.’’ Bandit pulled away the steel leg that kept the bike still and started moving away from their home. “I’d suggest you get comfy because it might take a while.”
And so Jäger did, he accommodated his arms in a way it would not squeeze out Bandit and would also not tire him out. He wondered where Bandit would take him to this time. The last time his lover took him in a midnight ride they ended up at the beach, fucking in the middle of nowhere, that was a great adventure, so Jäger imagined that will likely happen again tonight, not that he was complaining, though, he loved when he ran away with Bandit.
“Are you cold, Katze?” Marius shook his head. Bandit had finally stopped on the side of the road. “We’re here, you can let go.” Bandit announced and Jäger did, not before squeezing Bandit’s torso lovingly.
“So, where are we exactly?” Jäger asked as he took off and left his helmet on one of the sides of the handle of the bike.
“In the middle of nowhere, as you like to say.” Bandit grabbed Jäger’s hand and led him.
“Oh, this will surely be fun, you brought lube, right?” Jäger joked, trying to guess Bandit’s intentions for the night.
“Maybe so.” Bandit answered, not giving any clues. Bandit swiped off a branch that was blocking his way and let Jäger pass first, revealing a beautiful cliff that ended up in the ocean.
“Mein Gott…” Jäger stood still, appreciating the beautiful landscape in front of him. “This is such a nice place to get fucked in.”
“Damn Mari, do you want me to fuck you that much?” Bandit said as he joined Jäger, also appreciating the view.
“Ha, how did you even find this place?” Jäger asked as he sat down near the end of the cliff but not near enough to actually have a chance to fall.
“Had to take a piss, so I pissed nearby, then I heard the waves, and then I found this place, and thought you like to see the stars here.” Bandit spoke as he sat beside his partner, pulling him closer with an arm.
“Are you saying that last part with a double meaning, Dom?” Yeah, Jäger believes Bandit only thinks about sex.
“Oh my god, Marius, you’re pretty horny today, aren’t you?’’
“What? no… I’m just trying to guess what are your intentions…” Jäger pressed his body towards Bandit, seeking affection.
“ Can’t I have a lovely night out with my Jagerchen?”
“Well, it’s indeed lovely.” Bandit took off his jacket and placed it behind both to lean over it without getting bothered by the grass. He grabbed his phone and reproduced his “romantic” playlist.
“Can you explain to me for the hundredth time which constellation is which?” Bandit stared at the lights that were perched in the sky. He wondered, how can people assimilate objects from simple dots in the sky? they must’ve been high, Bandit thought.
“Haha, Why? I’ve told you a thousand times already and you can’t even memorize a single one of them.” Bandit hid his fingers between the jungle Jäger’s hair was, causing Jäger to unconsciously snuggle against his hand, seeking that soothing feeling.
“I don’t know, do you have something better to talk about?”
“Not really…” Jäger hummed as he spotted every constellation in the sky, jumping his look from one to another. “Actually, I have something I would like to discuss, Dominic.” Jäger made an effort to make himself sound serious, but he just sounded squeaky as always.
“Oh really?”
“Yeah, you know, I’m going to copy Chandar’s measures for you in the workshop…”
“What? what do you mean? what does that weird brit have to do?” Rules?
“Well, he banned James from the workshop to work efficiently…” Jäger started.
“And? Wait… are you saying you’re banning me too? Why? I don’t even cause trouble like that idiot!” Bandit raised his tone of voice, gaining Jäger’s blissful giggles.
“Isn’t it obvious Dom?! You’re always distracting me! I can’t… you don’t let me work properly!” Jäger exclaimed, extending his arms into the sky.
“I can’t help being hot Marius! Maybe you should work on controlling your eyes!” Bandit chuckled with him, Jäger’s complaints were true after all, he would come around the workshop now and then to bother or provoke his lover.
“No! I have decided, from now on, you’re banned from the workshop, I’ll let everybody that goes in to not let you in! Oh, Monika is going to love the news, you know right, Domi? She’s always a little mad I let you in the workshop…” The engineer declared as he rested his head on his boyfriend’s chest gazing his look over the horizon.
“You can’t do this to me, Mari, you’ll give in eventually, I know you well.” Bandit rested his hand over his beloved head, he felt so at peace.
“Let’s bet.” Jäger proposed, gripping a hand on Bandit’s side.
“Oh count me in for sure. I know you won’t resist letting in my handsome ass.” Bandit just knew the man too damn well, unlike Mute, Jäger could be easily lured and bent by Bandit it would just be a matter of time until Jäger would let him in the workshop again. “What’s in the bet anyway?”
“Well, if I lose and let you in before the end of the year I’ll, I’ll um…”
“You’ll teach me how to fly.”
“What? No way Dominic! I can’t trust you’re not going to do something stupid!” Jäger remembered last Christmas, he had taken Bandit for a quick flight on his personal plane, the fucker covered his eyes for a second mid-flight, nothing happened really, but that was enough to make Jäger snap furious, making him stop the ride right away and sworn he will never take Bandit to another flight ever in his life.
“Aw, come on, well, take me in another ride, I’ll wear handcuffs, I swear.”
“I’ll think about it, what you did last time wasn’t funny at all Dominic, but that doesn’t mean a yes. But, if I win, you’ll… hmmm what could be good…” Jäger hummed, gazing his look over his lover’s face, who was looking at the sky.
“I don’t know, you’ll do the dishes for the next year? I don’t know Dom, what can you offer me?”
“Hmm how about, I let you ride my bike, or well, I’ll teach you.” Bandit never lets anyone unless it’s Jäge or his twin brother Cedric to touch his bike, he is the only one ho rides the bike, yeah, he’s a little possessive about his beautiful Harley.
“What? are you sure Domi? you make a big deal if someone that’s not me gets close to it.’’
“Well, that’s why I shall let you my bike, now that I think of, that rule is a little stupid, since you care better about stuff than me.” Another song .
“You’re right, well, prepare yourself to teach me because I won’t be losing this bet.”
“Mari I still don’t get how in the hell do you not know how to ride a bike! You know how to fix them, but you don’t know how to ride them?” Bandit questioned the man resting over his chest.
“I told you, my younger self was scared of them, I always thought I would crash and die horribly.
“Oh, but you didn’t think that about planes?”
“Planes are totally different Dom! don’t compare, there are no other planes in the sky to crash into so no, I’m not afraid at all.”
“You were not afraid like, to run out of gas or, the engine to stop working?” Bandit insisted.
“At first, but that’s why there’s a protocol to check on planes before taking off.”
Both kept quiet, gazing at the stars, Jäger would point out occasionally which part is which from the milky way, and Bandit would just hum and nod, passing the information in and out from his ears. Both held themself tightly to not let the cold in their bodies. Marius felt a box poking his side, it was inside Bandit’s pocket, he supposed it was a pack of cigarettes, he thought Bandit had quit smoking six months ago, well maybe not.
“Are you hungry Dom?”
“Are you?”
“No, I’m asking because I feel like cooking something, would you like me to cook you something tonight?”
“Hmm, nah, how about we go to that burger place you like a lot?”
“That sounds splendid, I would love to, but I’m not hungry yet.”
“Me neither, maybe later.” Oh, Bandit’s favorite song , why? because Jäger always appears in his mind whenever he hears it.
Time still passed by, Jäger started to get sleepy eventually, since Bandit is his official body pillow, he would likely turn sleepy if he rests himself over the man. Bandit noticed Jäger’s sleepiness right away and started rubbing his chin against Jäger’s forehead to scratch him with his beard, knowing damn well Jäger hated it.
“Stop it dom, don’t ruin the night.” Jäger begged as he tried to pull away from Bandit, but his grip was tight.
“Look Mari! a shooting star!” Bandit ceased bothering the pilot and pointed at the sky, a big white line painted through the obscure night.
“Wow, that’s pretty big…” Jäger stared at the sky, following with his eyes the line traced in the sky.
“Did you wish for something?” Bandit spoke when the shooting star disappeared from the sky.
“Not really, I have everything I could’ve ever wanted, you.” Bandit couldn’t help but blush, Jäger was too pure for him.
“Well I did wish for something, I-” Bandit let go of the pilot to stand up, then extended both his hands to help Jäger stand up, once he grabbed his hands, he pulled him strongly, making him jump to stand up.
“No! don’t say your wish out loud! otherwise it won’t come true!” Jäger stared into his honey-colored eyes as they held hands under the moonlight.
“But Mari, in order for this wish to come true, I have to say it out.” Bandit grabbed both of Jäger’s hands and kissed them, tingling them with his beard.
“What do you-?” Bandit let go of his hand and pulled the box in his pocket that was previously poking his side as he knelt on the ground.
“Will you marry this idiot?” Bandit looked up, opening the box in half revealing a simple but beautiful ring. Jäger covered his mouth, muffling a gasp, his eyes started watering thoroughly as he energetically nodded up and down.
“Of course! yes! I want to marry you so badly Dominic…” Jäger threw himself over Bandit into a hug, hugging him so tightly Bandit started wheezing. Jäger couldn’t stop crying from happiness, he was just so happy to be together forever with the man he is truly in love with.
“Marius, please, I want to be with you for the rest of my life... '' Bandit also hugged him tightly, he felt his shoulder soaking wet from Jäger’s tears. “ I can’t imagine the rest of my life without you by my side.” That made Jäger cry even more, Bandit isn’t cheesy or cursi, and him expressing his feelings with words is rare, he’d often express himself physically.
“Oh come on…” Jäger separated their bodies to hold Bandit’s jaw with both his hands, observing and scanning every inch of his face, then crashed their lips together lovingly, caressing Bandit’s short hair. “I want the same as you…”
“Lovely…” Bandit whispered, grabbing Jäger’s right hand to slide the gold ring into his ring finger, then proceeded to kiss it. Jäger observed his ring for a couple of seconds before pulling Bandit into another hug. “Kay’ hubby, are you hungry yet?”
Jäger nodded before letting go of his fiancé, he then wiped off the humidity of his eyes. “A burger would be nice.”
“Well, let’s get going, Katze.” Bandit said as he grabbed, dusted off his jacket, and wore it, walking down towards the trees they came from. “Please.” Bandit gestured as he lifted a branch that blocked the way, letting Jäger pass safely.
“Thank you, Dominic, this night was lovely.” Jäger spoke as he sat behind Bandit and wore his helmet.
“You’re lovelier.” Bandit assured, turning on the bike and driving off to that burger stand jäger loved.
I also posted this in AO3! I would really appreciate it if you gave it some love! https://archiveofourown.org/works/28008717

Beyond Light Part 3: Behemoth
Summary:
After running into her along with Drifter, Eris and the Exo Stranger, Marcia joins the team on their mission to stop Eramis. But after realising Light alone might not be enough to take down the dark Kell’s house, Rae, Tif and Marcia accept the Stranger’s offer to wield the Darkness.
Previous Part: Here
Next Part: Here
“I know. I owe you an explanation for all of this.”
Back at the campsite from before, Rae, Blaze and Tif were talking to the Exo Stranger while Drifter and Eris remained around the campfire and Marcia stood a few feet away keeping watch.
“An explanation would be nice.” Rae replied, “But that aside, it’s nice to see you again. It’s been a while.”
“Indeed.” The Stranger nodded, “The last time we spoke was when I asked you to destroy the Black Heart. To prevent Darkness’s arrival. Success may have been achieved, but now I know that fate comes knocking sooner or later. The floodgates are open. The Darkness is here. I wield it now with intent to stop our enemies where the Light cannot.”
“So you guys wield Stasis too then.” Rae said looking back at Drifter and Eris. “Not me. Not yet anyway.” Marcia interjected as she made her way over to them, “I was waiting for you guys in case you showed interest. Who better to help you control Darkness than someone cursed by it for over a thousand years?”
“She’s not wrong.” Tif added. “I almost feel bad for ya. Being stuck with Huffy the Magic Dragon, Crazy McHobo, and Negative Nancy: Creepy Edition.” Blaze chuckled.
*BONK!*
“GYAH!”
Blaze was knocked to the ground as a dark blue sphere crashed into the back of her head before returning to Eris, who was glaring at the Awoken Hunter, and reverting to its Hive bone state. “You deserved that one.” Rae said shaking her head as Blaze got to her feet while Drifter laughed from behind them, “Nice aim, Moondust!”
“And ‘Huffy the Magic Dragon’? Really?” Marcia raised an eyebrow as she folded her arms.
“Uh, you were talking about Stasis?” Tif attempted to get the conversation back on track. “Right.” The Stranger nodded, “From what I’ve heard from Marcia, your resilience within the Pyramid proves you’re capable of wielding it too.” She motioned to the temple in the distance, “Before us lies what we call a ‘Ziggurat’. Its purpose is temptation. To begin your training, you must give in.”
Rae glanced at Blaze who shook her head, “Nah. Don’t get me wrong, I trust ya. But I already have my fire and vision bs to deal with. Don’t wanna add another mysterious power to the list.”
“Fair enough.” The Stranger replied before facing Rae and Tif, “And you two?”
“I…I’ll try!” Tif volunteered, “If it means I can help people better, then I’ll do it.” The Stranger turned to Rae who sighed, “If it means we can take down Eramis a bit easier, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to try. I’m in.”
“Good. Take these.” The Stranger handed Rae, Marcia and Tif a splinter each, “Please understand. The line between Light and Dark is so very thin. Let’s cross it together.”
“That line sounds familiar…” Blaze muttered under her breath. “Alright.” Rae began, “Let’s see what this Ziggurat has to offer.”
“I’ll hang back with Drifter and Eris.” Blaze said, “Lemme know when we’re heading out.” Rae nodded before she, Marcia and Tif began heading toward the Ziggurat. As they approached the stairs, Ghost piped up, “I understand why you’re going along with the Stranger’s plan, but…well, she’s clearly not telling us everything.”
“When has anyone?” Rae replied, “If we want to stand a chance against Eramis, we need to level the playing field and fight fire with fire. Or in this case, ice with ice- ARGH, AGAIN WITH THE WHISPERS!” Rae exclaimed as the whispers re-entered her head. “Yeah, I’m with ya.” Marcia grumbled as they reached the top of the stairs, “After a while it gets less creepy and more annoying.”
Upon reaching the top, four large shards stood floating in front of them. “I feel drawn to that one at the front. I think it wants us to attune to that one.” Marcia pointed out. Rae took a deep breath, “Here goes nothing…” The three Guardians held out their splinters to the shard, causing it to glow a bright orange before disappearing. “You guys feel that?” Tif asked, “I feel like I’m being drawn to somewhere.”
“Yeah, I feel it too.” Rae replied. “Well, what are we waiting for?” Marcia began heading back down the steps, “Let’s see where this leads us.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tracking down the pull of energy, Rae, Tif and Marcia found themselves in what appeared to be a Vex-constructed area where another shard was floating. “Another shard?” Rae muttered.
“Uhh…”
Rae and Marcia turned to Tif, whose shard was glowing. “Does it want you to go to it?” Berhane asked. “Let’s find out.” Tif hopped off the ledge they were standing on and made their way towards the shard before holding their splinter up to it. Suddenly there was a pulse of energy, causing Tif to stumble backwards before feeling their joints begin to freeze up as Stasis began to surround them. “Tif!” Rae was about to run to her but was stopped by Marcia placing a hand on her shoulder. “Wait.” Marcia said. Rae was about to argue with her until she saw Tif suddenly break free of the Stasis, panting heavily. “Vex incoming!” Ghost alerted and several Vex began to teleport in. Rae went for her gun but was stopped again by Marcia, “Wait for it.” Rae watched as Tif turned to face the incoming Vex horde. Stasis crystals began to surround their right fist before completely solidifying. Tif charged towards the Vex before launching themself up into the air and slamming their fist into the icy ground below. As they did, three lines of icy spikes emerged from the ground and impaled some of the Vex while freezing the others. With their gauntlet, Tif went lunging forward through the frozen Vex, shattering them instantly. Marcia and Rae watched as Tif mowed down more and more Vex with Stasis, not having to touch their gun once. Rae was awestruck while Marcia just smirked, “That’s the power of Stasis right there. I was pretty baffled too when I watched Eris and Drifter use it. And that’s only it when in the hands of a Titan! Imagine what’ll be like if you or I use it.” Marcia’s sentence was punctuated by a loud crash and a cloud of snow erupting upwards. It cleared to reveal Tif in a three-point landing with three minotaur bodies skewered by ice spikes, successfully taking out the last of the Vex. Tif stood up, out of breath but looking pretty proud of themself. However their moment of pride was interrupted by feeling energy being sucked out of them. Tif glanced down at their hand and saw that their energy was solar again, not Stasis. “W-wha? Where’d the Stasis go?!” they exclaimed. “Calm down.” Marcia reassured as she hopped off the edge, “You don’t get it right away. What you just experienced was just a sampler. The process of achieving Stasis is a test. The Darkness wants to see if we’re worthy of using it and introduces Stasis gradually. But unlike Eris and Drifter who had more time to hone theirs, we’re cut for time thanks to Eramis. So our training will be more like a trial by fire. Hope that it’ll kick in when we need it most.”
“And by the looks of it, it’s testing us one-by-one.” Rae added, “Not the most practical way, but we don’t really have a choice. I’ll have Blaze meet us back at Variks’s place. It’s time we get to planning our first strike on Eramis’s house.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We’re back.” Rae announced as she walked in the door to the base, “Sorry we took so long.”
“Can it be?” Variks narrowed his eyes at Rae, Marcia and Tif, “I can smell that poisoned power on you. Does corruption spread so quickly? Or do you hope to fight Eramis with her own weapons?”
“The latter.” Marcia replied as she followed the group inside. “Who is this?” Variks asked. “This is Marcia Wyverk. She’s a close friend of ours and a fellow Paralian.” Rae explained. “Variks the Loyal, right? Nice to finally meet you.” Marcia grinned, “Rae briefed me on the Eramis situation and I’m ready to help.”
“As for Stasis, yeah. An old friend of ours is helping us to use it properly.” Rae explained, “So far, Tif is the only one that’s used it.”
“Temporarily.” Tif added, “Marcia says that the Darkness wants to test us first.”
“You walk a very dangerous path.” Variks warned, “Take this recklessness to Phylaks, then. But beware. She is Eramis’s most skilled warrior. She made her name at Twilight Gap.”
“Yeah. Tif told us as much.” Rae replied, “Any ideas on where to start?”
“Prove yourself a worthy opponent, and she will show herself.”
“Sounds easy enough. Cause a ruckus, get her attention. The rest is sure to follow.”
“Causing a ruckus is what we do best! Right, Marci?” Blaze grinned.
“Aw yeah! This is gonna be fun!” Marcia chuckled.
“Ooh! I wanna cause a ruckus too!” Tif beamed.
“Yeah! Tif’s on team chaos!” Blaze whooped. Rae held her head in her hands, “I swear I’m gonna have a nervous breakdown dealing with these three…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“OHCRAPOHCRAPOHCRAPOH- GYAH!!!”
Marcia let out a yelp as she was thrown from the missile blast of a brig. Quickly scrambling to her feet, Marcia ducked behind a block of ice where Rae also was hiding, sniping from a distance. “Can we agree not to tell Drifter about these? Gambit will be a nightmare if he manages to lure one in.” Marcia panted. “Agreed.” Rae replied, “Oh no. Move!” Rae grabbed Marcia and dragged her away from the ice block as missile strikes came from above. “Nice reflexes.” Marcia breathed as she activated her Shadowshot bow and began firing at the brigs. “Take this, ba sloat!” Tif yelled as they charged at one of the two brigs, managing to slice at its front with their arc blade and cutting deep enough to down the large mech. “Tif, watch your six!” Blaze called out as she launched a rocket from her rocket launcher at the last brig, causing it to stumble backwards, “Go for it!”
“Thank you!~” Tif cheered in a sing-song voice as they took advantage of the stunned brig and stabbed the blaze right into its centre, digging in as deep as they could before the brig let out a low, fading whir and collapsed to the ground, Tif just managing to duck out of the way. “That’s the last of them.” Blaze let out a sigh of release as Tif removed their blade from the brig, “You think we got her attention yet?”
“I think so. Incoming message from Phylaks.” Ghost called out as Phylaks’s message came through.
“Machine-spawns! I admire your thirst for the fight. Come and find me.”
“She’s…transmitting her location to us. Looks like we won ourselves an invitation.” Ghost announced. “I’ve a feeling it’s not a dinner party sort of invitation.” Marcia muttered, dismissing her super, “Phylaks doesn’t seem to be the fancy type.”
“It’d be funny if it was!” Tif giggled, “I wouldn’t complain.”
“Where’s the coordinates at?” Rae asked. “Looks like Nexus. Beyond where Tif used her Stasis.” Ghost replied. “Well, let’s not keep our hostess waiting.” Blaze smirked, “Let’s go party, Paralight style!”
To Be Continued…

ʻ / wow , i am so excited to introduce berlin sari to our current students at cape coral . she is extremely excited to join track and field & honors society. coming in as a twenty two year old sophomore , they shouldn’t worry about fitting in . the cis female scorpio has always reminded me of medalion rahimi , but some people don’t see it . trying to keep the fact that she’s the side piece of a cape coral parent from getting around this school is going to be tough . no worries , though , cape coral will create a new life for them , i assure you . ʼ
my momma used to say ‘baby make me proud’, you’ve got such a pretty face, but such a dirty mouth
NAME — berlin avery salehi.
NICKNAMES — n/a?
PRONOUNS — she/her.
AGE & DOB — 22 & november 8, 1997.
PLACE OF BIRTH — lewiston, maine.
NATIONALITY — american.
MAJOR — music and audio engineering.
EDUCATION — prev. parker community college, now cape coral international.
CLUBS — honors society, track & field.
* background overview !
so for ten years, it was berllin, her older brother, her mom, and her dad. everything was honestly pretty normal, he worked as a bank teller and her mom was an elementary school teacher.
when she was ten, her mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and began treatment, it was in the middle of her moms chemo treatments that her dad decided he was done and left the three of them on their own.
her older brother was stuck taking care of them both, berlin helped where she could, but it wasn’t exactly in the means of income.
her mom did go into remission, but later it came back when berlin was 15. as soon as she turned 16, it was her brothers turn to leave them, claiming he was tired of it.
from then on, she taught both piano and guitar lessons to anyone who was willing to let her teach as a means to support herself and her mom.
music was and always has been a massive part of her life and was one of the few things she used as an escape when everyday life was just Too Much, so getting to teach others was something she really liked to do.
when she was 18, one of her student’s parents had taken an interest in her and invited her over for dinner where they offered her the opportunity to be with them. she said yes and began her secret relationship, mostly using the money they gave her to help pay rent and for groceries, or if it was things, then it allowed her to use the money from lessons for other things.
she was taking classes at pcc mostly online so that she had more time to be at home, but when the parents she was dating mentioned that the school their child was attending, cape coral, was offering a scholarship they encouraged her to apply.
* personality !
god she is... kind of a mess.
like being bitter is probably one of her defining personality traits, and it’s not even towards rich people bc of their money or anything, she’s just like bitter that THIS is the life she ended up with.
she can definitely sit and just have a normal conversation without chewing someone’s head off but she never really seems particularly cheery.
she’s one of those people that likes to run to blow off steam, which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but she’ll leave and go running at like 2am bc she’s stressed.
is a hardass and thinks she’s like top shit even though she has absolutely no reason to be? thinks because she doesn’t directly “engage” or involve herself in drama that she’s better than everyone
is NOT afraid to call you out on your bullshit bc she really doesn’t have time to deal with it at all
really, keeps a lot of people at a distance and doesn’t really like getting close to people because they can just leave whenever they want to. and she’ll never admit it but she doesn’t want to get hurt.
she’s double majoring in music (basic she knows) but in audio production as well, eventually she wants to produce music, whether it’s someone else’s or her own.
prefers to keep her private life mostly private? like what and how much she shares honestly just depends on her mood.
* character tropes !
so i was thinking and really, she’s a bit of the Corruptor. which sounds bad, but it’s kinda like, she’s so far up her own ass she thinks she’s better than everyone and that people need to be brought down from their pedestals and clouds. so she tends to poke at people until they show their worst sides, or sides they don’t necessarily like very much. i also saw a little bit of the Femme Fatale in her too, just because she’s gorgeous (duh) and fully uses that to her advantage when she can, like the affair turned sugar daddy/baby situation she has with one of the cape coral parents.
* playlist !
kings — tribe society:
i’ve been through the darkest of caves and suffering
one hundred steps off the end of the road
painted with passion, my favorite color
hope i’m alive when the story gets old
we could be free
this goes with both her personality and her past tbh. she’s really headstrong and not afraid to take the lead on anything she’s passionate about, but also won’t let anyone else sway her opinion on anything, like at all. it’s like trying to push a round stone up a hill. when looking at her past, it’s not anywhere near rainbows and butterflies. her dad left her family when she was really young, and her mom has been sick with recurrent cancer for years. for a while, her older brother helped take care of her and their mom, but when she turned 16 he left, leaving her to fend for the both of them. as awful as it sounds, all she wants is to be free of everything that’s held her down, she feels bad for wanting out, but she’s so tired of it all now.
monsters — ruelle:
one misstep, you’re mine
and you better stay clever if you wanna survive
once you cross the line
you’ll be wishing you would listen
when you meet your demise
funnily enough, this isn’t really as serious as it should be. the vibe IS her, i’ll tell you, but this is really where the Scott Disick comes in. like she’s very take no shit but will definitely call you out on your shit. more of a if you make yourself look stupid, or give her the chance to roast/call you out, she will and isn’t really worried about what’s going to come from it. not her fault it could expose or embarrass you for any reason!
something to hold on to — the band camino:
do you ever think of me?
after everything
give me something to hold on to
i need just a little piece
i’ll take anything
so this, two things as well. i know the song’s a breakup song but it’s kinda at her dad and brother for just up and leaving her and her mom, kinda like the one time she’ll show any vulnerability is when she really wishes they had stayed. but also, she’s really musical, it’s her one escape and this is probably the style of music she likes to listen to and play.
* aesthetics !
sneaking out at 2am, vintage t-shirts, scrunchies, the satisfaction of snoozing the alarm clock, worn combat boots, long sleepless nights, calloused fingers pulling at guitar strings, quiet sounds of piano, an exhausted body finally laying down to sleep, black coffee, backhanded compliments, stone cold stares, the lure of seduction.
* character inspo !
scott disick (kuwtk) , rebeca de bormujo avalos (elite) , jade west (victorious)
* wanted plots !
i’m still not any better at coming up w plots so this is the Same
general friends: honestly some from childhood, some from high school, others from college, give me New friend with the people coming on scholarship, anything
best friends: someone that’s been by her side for years, someone she’d literally trust with her whole life
ride or dies: honestly what it says, maybe like one or two of them that have been through the thick and thin of it but still have a really strong friendship in the end?
confidant: honestly, probably someone she’s close with, but doesn’t see on a regular basis?
better influence: someone who can teach her to let go and ease up more, and to not be so angry all the time
exes ( good, bad, anything in between ): you know the drill, hit me with the good angst. (male, female, nb)
roommate: rent ain’t cheap!
hook ups: you also know this drill, but this is pretty much all berlin does (male, female, nb)

Playing tw tag game w/ my oc
I haven't been tagged, yet but this looks fun.
I've seen people post this from @edda-blattfe and they're pretty honest with their answers, so why not try it, myself. Also, I brought my oc to answer with me (I want to spice it up a bit)
Taniya: happy to answer ^-^
~Dire Crowley appears before you~
Question 1: Welcome to Night Raven College! Did you enjoy the trip here?
Me: i don't know how did i get here but wow
Taniya: hmmm...yes and no
Me: why?
Taniya: if you were me, you know why -_-
Question 2: Wonderful! All students here must choose one of the seven dormitories to reside in during the school year. Which one do you choose? Why?

Me: why? he's going to make my wish come true
Taniya: yeah but I'm warning you that guy is bad news
Me: just because you hate fish, doesn't mean you hate him, as well. Also, what about you? do you want something in your heart's desire?
Taniya: of course not! I won't make deals with someone who can impossibly grants people's wish and I still don't trust him, especially the twins
Question 7: Which of the boys are you friends with? Why?
Me: of course, Taniya!, ortho, ace, and kalim are cool to hangout

Taniya: dude every third year are tall, cunning, and handsome
Me: but you know him, right? you're always with him whenever he needs you *smiles*
Taniya: I’ve been hanging out with bunch of guys in my life and even if I do, none of them are my type but what you're refering to....
Me: *waiting for her to realize it’s Leona*
Taniya: hmm....nope doesn't ring my bell
Me: girl you need to learn more about love life
Taniya: no thanks
Question 9: The hallways are a terrifying place to be after hours. Who’s the last person you wanna be out there with?
Me: ready?
Taniya: ok
Me & Taniya: 1, 2, 3...GHOST!!!
Me: nailed it
Question 10: Would you rather listen to Jamil’s puns, work at the Mostro Cafe with Jade and Floyd, or clean the dungeons with Lilia?
Me: I'm fine with Jamil's puns
Taniya: I'll just go help cleaning the dungeon with Lilia
Question 11: Everyone loves karaoke night at the Cafe! Do you sing? If so, which song would be your go to?
Me: yeah I can sing but I don't know which song that fits me, I guess It'll Be Alright by Cody Francis
Taniya: I can sing as well and the song I would sing is Faster Car by Anders Lystell.....wait a minute! since when did the Cafe have karaoke?
Question 12: Riddle invites you to a tea party with the rest of Heartslabyul. Do you attend?
Me: yes, I love tea parties
Taniya: me too, so we don't have to get our heads cut

Taniya: canons x self-insert/oc's
Question 15: Unpopular opinion?
Both: nope/nada
Question 16: You forgot to send Maleus an invitation. Your survival plan?
Me: pretending I'm not invited either and next time, I will invite him to my "I'M SORRY FOR NOT INVITING YOU" party
Taniya: who's that?
Me: you know that horned guy that lives in the diasomnia and always been forgetten in every invitation.
Taniya: oh that guy, was he in the party, last week?
Me: idk but it's better to not mention about it to Maleus because he might gonna zap you with his spinning wheel staff like a grilled potato
Taniya: .....ok, I'm with your plan
Question 17: Be honest, would you trust Rook to shoot an apple off your head?
Me: ohhh yes, I want to see if he really shoot that apple

Question 18: Lilia, Ace, and Kalim invite you to hang out with them. Do you go?
Me: Absolutely
Taniya: eh why not
Question 19: Where is your favorite place to chill on campus?
Me: chilling at the Mostro Cafe while wearing my headphones on
Taniya: outside the campus roof or I could do parkour for fun
Me: ohh can I come?
Taniya: sure, if you know how to climb a high building before
Question 20: Ortho asks if you’ll help him drag Idia out of his room so he won’t skip class. How does that work out?
Me: I would convince him to go out because he’ll miss everything that is going on
Taniya: why not we use Idia’s unfinished vr headset then trick him that you, me, and ortho help fixing his vr and telling that we created an adventure virtual reality game called “NIGHT RAVEN SIMULATOR” for him, as a test subject, to practice interacting with other students. We just have to remove the lenses, make very convincing that everything is just a simulator/game, and lure him out from his room to attend his classes
Me: but what if he notice our trick?
Taniya: don’t worry I’ll tell the other students/teachers that we have to play along with his virtual fantasy and not let Idia to suspect anything and everything that is reality
Me: but what if it fail?
Taniya: *sighs* if it fails, well at least we can do is getting him to experience of going out for one last time
Taniya: at the end of class, we’ll send him back to his room and tell everyone never mentioned about our “getting idia out from his room” plan
Me: ok that really is too much work but that’s actually smart of you
Taniya: well it’s that least I can do to help a friend to boost his confidence
Me: aww *hugs her*
Question 21: Who would you rather train with, Jack, Sebek, or Ashton?
Me: is it alright to say none of them?
Taniya: training with Jack, ok but with Ashton, no way
Question 22: You’re locked up in Mr. S’s shoppe after hours, who’s with you?
Me: do I really have to pick? then ace and kamil, we’ll get in trouble in the morning
Taniya: Ruggie, I guess? he’ll help me find a potion that can grow my height
Question 23: Leona fell asleep…again. This time on top of you. You have potions in 15 minutes; what do you do?
Me: I don’t mind sleeping with him, he’s kind of cute and comfy to begin with
Taniya: I’ll gently push him off and draw his face with a permanent marker while he’s asleep. When he wakes up, I’ll pretend nothing happened until someone notice his face
Me: that’s kinda devious
Taniya: that’s what he get for sleeping on me
Question 24: Would you rather go on a magic carpet ride with Kalim, let Vil give you the Pomefiore spa treatment, or play on Azul’s grand piano (with his supervision)?
Me: magic carpet with kalim!
Taniya: a spa treatment would be nice
Me: why don’t you join us?
Taniya: you know I have aerophobia! I won’t go anywhere that involves flying
Me: *whispers* you’re no fun
Taniya: I heard that
Question 25: Grimm feels a little left out. Comfort him?
Me: yes, I’ll give him a stuffed mouse to play with
Taniya: I’ll bring him along with me on a journey
Me: ohh like what?
Taniya: as a dorm assistant, I’ll hire him as my helping buddy to do the work in my dormitory
Me: that’s nice
Ok that's all you want to see here and wow this is really long. For the tags, I bet almost everyone are already been tagged since I've been posting this kinda late so.... I guess @nerdgod555 , @ocean-water-tea , and @mint-sugar-1121 if anyone wants to do this game just go to @edda-blattfe and you can find that mention tw tag game. Hope u enjoy our crazy journey bye~

Trial 6 - ”hello, world!” (6)
Time to pick up the fallen torch.
Trial: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
K.... K1-b0? This - this must be you, right?
I’ve been waiting for this moment since the beginning of the chapter 3 trial! Finally, the explanation I’ve been craving! If - if the inner voice is coming into play now - it might actually be a benevolent force, right? Maybe? At this point we just need something to keep us moving forward...
Yes!!!
..... Oops.
“And please choose the right answer this time.”
Okay okay, jeez -
K1... K1-b0? W-Why not - ?
...... remedy the situation. Not save... but fix...???
Voices??? It’s plural now? Does that include me, the player?
K1-b0! Your moment has finally come, with no more lasers or explosions required! hopefully
WAIT
WE’RE OFFICIALLY IN HIS POV NOW???
This is incredibly late game for a protagonist switch b-but okay! also oh god what does that say about Sweetcheeks’s condition -
I’m glad we haven’t completely lost Shuichi. ): He really does look like he’s not with us, though. How can we help him? I joke about how much I love this sprite, but it’s awful seeing him like this.
But apparently Shuichi’s been relegated to the sidelines entirely now, because K1-b0 is entirely focused on Jun - Tsumugi. Oh boy, I almost started thinking of her as Junko. I will not let her hide behind her characters, damn it!
Yes! Yes, exactly! She can’t have it both ways!
YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ANNOYED YOU APPARENTLY WROTE HIM TO BE THIS WAY!!!
Ooh? Yeah, the text is changing at the bottom...
U U H I’M SORRY YOU CAN’T JUST DROP A BOMB LIKE THAT SO ABRUPTLY -
TSUMUGI LET HIM HAVE HIS COOL MOMENT
HE LITERALLY JUST GOT HIS MOMENT IN THE SUN DON’T JUST UNDERCUT HIM OUT OF NOWHERE
no seriously she didn’t even give him a chance to build up momentum
The way she’s able to just dismiss him so casually like that, just completely trivializing him, is absolutely brutal. also what plotline lol -
I-I mean I’m joking, he has had a ‘coming to terms with his status as a robot amongst humans and accepting himself’ plotline! Sorta! It’s just been pretty.... well, behind the scenes. I just wished we got to see more of you and Miu together at the very least.
Wait -
He’s been the actual audience’s surrogate? That.... that means his ahoge....... really is the connection to the outside... but also, the only thing holding him back from going kamikaze??? It’s basically an outside force that’s been suppressing his free will?
Oh shit... is that why the game switched us to this POV, for that reveal? Well-damn-played, DRV3!
.....
wow this is getting worse and worse, huh
ALSO OH NO WAY TO SMASH HIS FRAGILE SELF-ESTEEM INTO PIECES
“You know all those hi~lar~ious asides everyone had at your expense about you being no more important than your average kitchen appliance? Guess what - ! They were r i g h t!”
Somehow I wonder if it would have been better if it was the mastermind’s will. At least it would assign him some sense of importance, even if that stinging feeling of betraying his friends would be there. At least he wouldn’t literally just be the subject of some nameless audiences’ whims - as it is, he’s basically been relegated to the status of ‘plaything’.
From Chapter 3 onward, when I was thinking about it, I wasn’t sure originally if I should consider it a force for good or evil - it seemed to be generally benevolent and since he didn’t take any actions against anyone, it was generally okay for me to discard it as an extension of ‘a mastermind whose goal was for everyone to be at odds with each other/kill each other’. He was always one of the most willing to cooperate with the others, too! I even considered if any of his actions had indirectly caused tension or murder, and I couldn’t find any instances where he did. But if he’s been at the beck and call of a third party, who’s been directing him for the sake of entertainment? Well, that’s a completely different story. In that context... everything makes... a lot more sense...
.... Except for his Chapter 5 actions??? He nearly got Shuichi to take him out twice??
Wait, actually - oh, this does change how I might look at him from this point on. How often would he consult the voice? Do the decisions override his own every time? Does that mean he can only make a move at the behest of the audience????
THE WAY HE PUT IT IS EVEN MORE DEMEANING
fhgh I guess that answers one of my questions
THE GIMMICK....
every production buzzword thrown in makes my stomach drop more
S-Shit the last time he had his ‘short-circuiting’ sprite was when Kokichi did his mastermind reveal in tandem with the ‘outside world’ reveal - D:
A.... Are you trying to make them feel bad for you, because I don’t think it’s working -
omg I just realized there would totally be twitter threads and reddit posts and stuff dedicated to this, and I’m trying to imagine the rage!posts that would swarm them as users ran to the internet to bitch about how ‘the robot totally isn’t responding to us anymore!’ and ‘I bet they’re rigging it so the ending goes the way they want! What a cop out ending!’ and hell, one of those more topical ‘let 👏 us 👏 control 👏 the 👏 robot 👏 you 👏 cowards 👏’
K1-B0 WAS THE CAMERA?!?!
..................................
glances at my computer monitor, then back here
ahahaha I am officially part of the outside world!mastermind tomfoolery oh god I’m so sorry everyone
Wait.... wait. Wait! So the Nanokumas’ footage is for the mastermind’s exclusive use? Really?
I... I was under the impression that if this audience was watching everyone, they’d have access to everything....
Then how different would this all look from only K1-b0′s eyes?! Did he know about Kaito’s training, for example? About Kaede and Shuichi’s practical inseparability in the first chapter? Wow, how different would this entire thing look from K1-b0′s exclusive POV?
I’m sorry what?
okay okay she’s going off on a despair rant which is - y’know, great, you do you and whatever - but I think it just turned my brain off a little bit. Like I just got catapulted back to DR1.
A-Are we really turning back to the whole ‘Junko persona’ idea? That she took on that role specifically, and by taking on the role as ‘Junko Enoshima’ she feels obligated to follow it through to the end? B-But...... but??? For a show??? That’s... no, that can’t be right, that’s weird, that’s stupid, that can’t be right....
You gotta admire her dedication to the craft I-I MEAN NO
WHAT THE HELL TSUMUGI
THAT IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH MOTIVE
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT KIND OF REASON
SHUT THE FUCK UP KOMAEDA AND DON’T LOOK SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS oh that actually felt pretty good
i say this as someone whose previous favourite was komaeda it was very love/hate don’t @ me
Oh hey, the opening music is on! Is this the big turnabout we’ve been waiting for? It’s.... so.... weird that it’s coming from K1b0 now? Also wasn’t this sort of the plot of the DR3 anime via the Ultimate Animator or -
I??? I guess??? Weren’t they all just screaming DESPAIR at Shuichi a minute ago??? Isn’t it their comments on the screen???
Inspirational and all but -
I’m GoINg to cHOkE anD DiE
ULTIMATE HOPE ROBOT
FJKGHSDKLFJ
WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME
oh shit well there’s text saying Hope now so I guess something has changed out there
I believe it’s called déjà vu.
No seriously, am I hallucinating? Is this not what led to the whole final vote in DR1 or am I going crazy? Is this... what is.... happening........???? And Shuichi has just completely BSoDed in the corner??? Like, is he disassociating right now? Where is he?
It’s interesting that she looks happy here compared to angry Junko. She looked excited earlier when K1-b0 challenged her too (her new jazz-hands!sprite, lol) too, and her voice is on the brink of. Uh. I’m just going to say it’s getting very.... passionate. Is she just that confident or...?
Oh hey their sprites mirror each other. Parallels. :D
I like how Tsumugi is having Makoto say this part ~
But this brings up a good question... how exactly is this so-called final battle going to work? If they can’t fight for the right to leave, then what can they do?
alksdfj Himiko and Maki have also been so quiet this so time - I almost forgot they were there. K1-b0 and Tsumugi are basically the only ones doing the talking and between all the cosplays it feels like there are way more people here than there actually are - which is the point, I think? It really adds to that oppressive, ‘everyone is against you four’ atmosphere.
“- DETAILS DETAILS anyway it’s happening I don’t really care, now about that special vote ~”
This -
This is literally DR1?!?!
This.... this is strange. There has to be incentive to vote one way or the other. Is she going to tie ‘vote for K1-b0’ and ‘you’ll be forced into a world where you can’t/shouldn’t exist’ together vs ‘Vote for Tsumugi′ and ‘stay inside forever’? That’s.... what happened in the others, right?
Shuichi, mentally clocked out but occasionally checking back in so he doesn’t miss anything important: Wow this is absolute bullshit
Yeah... there’s no way they weren’t going to find a way to tempt you to vote for K1-b0. Okay, lay it on us.
YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE THEM KEEP GOING?!?!
“Ugh why did I let myself get lured back into the conversation by my bitchin’ ‘Lazy Parallel World’ theme song I’m going to mentally check out again because everything hurts and I want to die -”
There.... there aren’t....??
THAT’S NOT ENCOURAGING omg I missed that catchphrase it always made me laugh
I??? I don’t know if I can trust that??? If you can literally make flashback lights to override their old memories - if you can force it on them, whether they’re willing or not - if you can delete the last 24 hours, you could make them do something again??? T-Though if Tsumugi is gone... but then again, there’s a whole team of people behind this apparently! Her being gone means nothing!
“So you cannot leave this place.” Is it? Is it literally, physically impossible to leave this place? That’s the real question. the impossible is possible all you gotta do is make it so... s o b
HOW EVIL CAN YOU GET
HOW COULD YOU NOT EVEN GIVE THEM A POSSIBILITY OF RETURNING TO THEIR ORIGINAL SELVES
WHY WOULD ANYONE MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHY WOULD THAT BE OKAY FOR A PUBLICLY TELEVISED TV SHOW
For that matter this whole damn series sounds like a snuff film, if actually people are involved. Dear lord, even if they are actually adults - and I desperately hope that if this is true, that the outside world is actually like this, and watches this for fun, then they have a ‘18+’ rule for auditions (actually considering the love hotel exists they must be at least 18 ggh) - even the survivors.... have been killed, in a sense. Their previous selves have been killed. They were dead the moment they entered the world...
So either 16 people consented to ‘dying’ in an existential sense as well as possibly a physical sense, or 16 people were kidnapped and ‘killed’ for the entertainment of the world. I.... I actually... do at least believe, no matter what, that there is a depraved audience viewing this from somewhere. There’s no way there isn’t - this feedback via comments, the scene with that kid Makoto watching this at the beginning of this chapter - those are true. And they were more than okay with the idea of these people dying for their entertainment, even the so-called winners.
You can only create new identities, not recover them... I, I dunno. Somehow that’s so much more soul-crushing than a lot of the other things that have come up this trial.
t-the way his voice is breaking skdlfjgh -
W HA T!?
WHAT THE FU -
WHY?! WHY?! WHY MUST IT ONLY BE TWO, EVERY TIME?! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN SO DETERMINED TO ONLY HAVE TWO PEOPLE SURVIVE TO THE END?!
H.... How the hell.... are they supposed to do that?! Is that how you’re doing it?! Putting the burden of the decision on them, in order to break them?!
H-HE LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE HE’S GOING TO BREAK DOWN SOBBING ANY SECOND I CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS
She is really trying to push that point, huh... but there it is. They can escape to the ‘outside world’. That is a cold comfort at this point, but...
They...... I don’t. I don’t know. I wouldn’t be able to do this - look my classmates in the eyes and condemn them. I guess this somehow managed to be worse than DR1.
K1-B0 NO
fml of course the only potential option would be students choosing self-sacrifice
I... I’m glad Shuichi is showing concern. I’ve noticed it a few times, how finally in the last chapter or so that he’s been observant of K1-b0′s well-being where the others haven’t been.
But I’m getting distracted - that’s not the point! FML I know he’s been shown those extremist tendencies towards the vague ideal of hope and destroying the despair, I - between this and the ‘destroying the school’ rampage he went on - what is he aiming for? You’re saying that you’re trying to defeat despair, but what is that? Is hope just the opposite of despair? Is despair just whatever Tsumugi says it is, so we’re immediately opposed to it, as the representatives of hope? Are you fighting for them to escape? Why is everyone surviving together ‘living despairful lives’ if Tsumugi is gone and they aren’t trying to kill each other anymore? What makes it that way? Why is this considered ‘defeating despair’? What does that even mean?
I... I guess K1-b0 would be punished anyway if they voted for him, but.... still....
Ugh, I get it. I get that kibou is hope, and that K1-b0 is therefore hope, and that we’re fighting for him to win or... something.... uhghghgh
DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE SHUICHI
This was such an uncomfortable parade of ~ideal waifus~ sdlkfjsdf especially when we were getting into the ‘super tiny/cute’ territory because I have absolutely no interest in that whatsoever also I accidentally deleted Mahiru’s cameo sorry -
.... I wonder if this would’ve been more effective if I was the target audience for this? Either way, ending on Junko was still an offsetting choice, right? Right??
..........
Wait for that matter, who was this aimed for? Who out of Maki, Himiko or Shuichi would have fallen for that? Even if you believe that Maki or Himiko have an interest in women, nothing about the types they showed or may have shown interest in the game (Maki @ Kaito, Himiko @ Angie, Tenko and hell, even Kokichi) would lend them to the girls Tsumugi just cosplayed as? And even Shuichi’s strongest interest were in Kaede and Kaito - so who is Tsumugi trying to appeal to here?!
Oh shit we’re going into a mass panic debate! Okay, okay okay - !
.... Oh. Oh boy, I have to shoot down every mention of despair. Uh, okay -
OMFG I missed the screenshot but Monokuma started shilling their merch and their website I cannot even deal with how they’ll occasionally devolve into corporate shilling it’s so good -
But!!! We’ve got better things to do than get caught up in Monokuma’s commercializing of the class trial!
MAKI
NO MAKI WHY
ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR LAST CHAPTER IS THAT WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
omg
are you telling me
you’re not even doing this out of guilt
it
it’s spite
you’re doing this out of spite
you’re sacrificing yourself purely ou t of spite
MAKI HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
“FOR FUCK’S SAKE MAKI, AGAIN??? AGAIN?!?!?!”
“LET ME KILL SOMEONE SAIHARA IT’S MY DAMN TALENT FFS -”
DOES THIS SCREENSHOT SAY ‘SHUICHI LOOKS YUMMY <3′ YOU’RE RUINING THE MOMENT
okay I’m not going to feel right until I write down the new set of comments
Makiiii
my darling assassin T_T
Hope lives on!
Shuichi looks yummy <3
Well said!
Another hope loop?
Hope is contagious!
Two steps forward...
Don’t lose to despair!
Don’t tempt Maki’s fate...
That’s my Maki.
Hope must go on!
Maki, darling...
;_; I’m gonna cry...
Hope vs despair!
one vote for Keebo!
tfw you’re in despair
ALL OF THESE TEARS
Assassiiiiiiiin
I am living for these comments and I would have killed to see the comments for the Chapter 5 trial - hell, the Chapter 4 trial. that’s what let’s plays and YT comments are for I suppose -
tbh I think if that one that keeps lusting after Shuichi comes to help we’re going to need a restraining order
o
o-oh?!
AAAAAAH
NO DON’T
MAKE ME FIGHT HIM
MY ACTUAL SOUL BRO
is............... Is that -
Clair de Lune playing......?!

NIGHTMARE
Description: Y/N wakes up from a nightmare consisting of her and Shawn breaking up. Which leads to her waking up and messaging Shawn, only to find out they broke up months ago.
N.E
➖
THE HUMMING of something, you didn’t know what, could be heard as you walked through your apartment. You were surprised you could hear it, as afterall, it was raining outside. It was a strange humming, as you weren’t able to recognise it with the amount of sound outside.
When you find where it was coming from, you’d probably look absolutely ridiculous when you realised that it was your phone vibrating with a call on your bedside table. You had been in the kitchen, cleaning up dinner, when you walked into your bathroom and that’s when you heard it.
You picked the phone up from on your bedside table, finding that you had a call from your boyfriend, Shawn. He was on tour, well, was supposed to be, until you found him on your door step just minutes after the phone call.
You answered the call from him, only for him to tell you that you needed to speak in person, and to open your front door. You frowned in confusion, as he was supposed to be on tour. Why was he on your front door step?
You walked to the front door from your room, opening it up, only to find that Shawn was in fact back home from tour. You thought he wasn’t supposed to be back for another week, but then again, you could have been wrong. But you asked anyway.
“Hey, aren’t you supposed to be on tour still?” you asked.
“I was. I got home late last night- early this morning. You understand what I mean right?” he rambled.
You just nodded your head at him as he made his way inside your small apartment. He let out a breath of relief, as it was much warmer in here than it was standing out in the rain for almost twenty minutes because you wouldn’t answer the phone, and he didn’t like intruding into your apartment. Even though he knew that the door was always unlocked when you were home.
He removed his jacket and hung it up on the hook by the door, as it was slightly wet. Your apartment wasn’t in a massive building like most were. Yours was apart of an unused building that had been constructed, but then sold and made into apartments in the middle of the city.
You had gotten the apartment for a bargain, and loved it. It was like a house, with a small cover at the front door, but it must’ve been raining outside so much that the wind blew the rain to where Shawn was standing.
You followed Shawn as he made his way into your lounge room. He went to sit down, but then remembered that his pants were all wet and he knew that you hated it when the couch got wet. It was one of your many pet peeves.
“Do you have any spare pairs of my sweats? My pants are all wet,” mentioned Shawn.
You nodded. “Yeah, they’re in my bedroom. I’ll be right back.”
“We uh, I want to talk to you, when you get back. Like, a serious conversation.”
You just nodded your head at his request. You figured he wanted to talk about something that was bothering him, but what you were going to find out was going to break your heart in a millions ways you didn’t know was possible.
You made it into your room, where you headed for your drawers. You grabbed one of the pairs of sweatpants that Shawn had left behind, and made your way back to Shawn. You found him pacing back and forth in the lounge room, running his hands through his hair frustratedly.
“Shawn?” you asked. “Is everything okay?”
He nodded his head, but then quickly shook it afterwards. It was like he realised that he needed to tell you what was on his mind, otherwise you’d just keep bringing it up. You just left his moment alone, and handed him his sweatpants.
He quickly changed out of his jeans, and put his sweatpants on, suddenly feeling a lot warmer than he was originally. You took his pants wordlessly, before grabbing his jacket from the hook on the hook by the front door, and went to throw them into the dryer.
You came back to the lounge room, curiosity eating you up. You had no idea why Shawn was acting this way, and it made you sick, at the thought that maybe something was wrong with him. You couldn’t bare the thought of him dealing with something all alone, simply because you weren’t by his side like you usually were when something was wrong.
You took a seat on the couch beside him, just sitting silently. You didn’t want to push him, incase it made him even more upset. The last thing you wanted was to make him more upset and frustrated than what he already looked like.
He watched you fiddle with your fingers, staring down at the loose strings of the sweatpants you had been wearing. He knew that the curiosity was eating up at you, you had told him that it happened regularly in situations like this. But, it was only silent because he wasn’t sure on how to break the news, so he just blurted it out.
“I think we should break up,” blurted Shawn.
You looked up at Shawn in confusion, as to what had bought on a thought like this. But then again, you knew that he had anxiety, because he had told you over a year ago. You figured maybe his anxiety had kicked in a lot whilst he was away, and that was the reasoning to this conversation.
“I think it would be better for us, to break up I mean.”
“... what?” you squeaked. “Why? Why now?”
“Please just hear me out,” sighed Shawn.
“Hear you out? How could you just come back from three months on tour, and suddenly drop this onto me Shawn?” you remarked.
Shawn knew something like this would happen. He could just predict you so easily because he knew you so well. I guess that’s what happens when you spend almost two years together, learning every small detail of one another during the journey.
“I know, Y/N, please just-“ said Shawn. “Can you just listen for a minute?”
You quickly shut your mouth at the frustration and anger that laced Shawn’s lips. You’d never seen him so frustrated with you before. He was usually so calm and gentle with you, but this was the first time you’d seen him snap like this.
You avoided eye contact with him, figuring that if you made eye contact with him it’d only make him angrier. His eyes stopped flickering around the room, and back to you, where he noticed that you were avoiding eye contact.
He let out a sigh, running one hand through his hair. How was he supposed to explain what was on his mind to you, but he was able to explain several song lyrics to his crew. What’s so different? It’s still his feelings being discussed.
“I think it’d be better for the both of us to break up. Not because I don’t love you anymore, trust me, I do, so fucking much that it hurts. But you know what else hurts?” he questioned softly.
You looked up at him for the first time, eyes flickering to meet his that were already locked on you. His eyes were that golden brown colour that lured you in to begin with. Those same eyes that made you fall in love with him. How could you keep eye contact with him when the eyes you fell in love with, were now breaking up with you.
“What?” you mumbled.
“Spending so much time alone on tour without you. Knowing that I can’t sleep beside you every night because I’m thousands of miles away, that I can’t text you every second of the day because I’m always so busy. I can’t sit on the couch with you and watch your favourite movies. I can’t do anything without thinking about you. And the fact that I can’t spend any time with you for months on end kills me so much, and I know it hurts you too, Y/N. I think it’s better for us to break up, because I don’t want you questioning and rethinking about our relationship because I’m gone so long. I can’t deal with the fact that anything could happen to you, and I won’t be there to help. I couldn’t live with myself. This is why I think we should break up.”
“And you think that breaking up with me is going to fix the fact that anything could happen? Anything could happen to me, regardless of whether or not I’m with anyone, Shawn. I-I just don’t understand why you’re doing this now? I’ve been dealing with this for so long, I’m used to it.”
“I don’t want you getting used to it. For so long I thought about building a life with you, but then I realised how stupid it was of me to think about something like that. I can’t give you the life you want Y/N, I can’t, because then I’d have to give up everything for you.”
You let out a humourless laugh, tears were streaming down your face, Shawn’s eyes were just pooling with eyes. You thought it was ironic that he didn’t want to drop everything for you, but he’d drop you for everything.
“But you’d drop me for everything?” asked Y/N.
Now Shawn had tears streaming down his face. Never would they have thought that their journey would come to this. They both thought that they’d raise a family together, but the universe doesn’t always work that way. Things change, people change, can’t enjoy the sunshine without a little rain.
“Y/N, can’t you just understand what I’m talking about?”
“I do Shawn. You’d rather drop me then drop everything, instead of drop everything then drop me,” you sobbed.
Shawn didn’t want to admit it, but he didn’t want to come home to a distressed girlfriend who hated being home alone. He didn’t want to raise a family, only to have to leave so soon and not being able to see the biggest accomplishments in his daughter or son’s life. He just couldn’t. In the music industry, it was better to have no attachments.
Shawn let out a shaky breath, watching you as you cried into the hands covering your face. You hated this. You hated that your relationship had to end this way. After everything that had happened, and the career you help Shawn build up was the reason you were crashing down. What a night mare this was.
You both just sat in silence, or as much silence you could muster up while you silently cried into your hands. Shawn let out a sigh, quickly pulling you into his arms. You let out a loud sob, gripping his shirt in your hands as you cried into him. The two of you enjoying your last moments together.
When it was finally time to come clean with the fact that you had finally ended things between each other, you rushed to grab his pants and jacket out of the dryer. You handed him his pants, which he took, but when you went to hand him his jacket, he shook his head.
“Keep it. You always looked better in it,” he said.
You held the jacket in your hands, tears still streaming down both of your faces. Before he left your apartment, and your life permanently, you quickly ran over to him and hugged him for dear life. He hugged you back, both of your eyes locked.
“Thank you for the best - almost - two years, of my life,” you said.
He leant down to kiss you once last time, and you savoured it as much as you could, before he was pulling away and leaving your life permanently. You never wanted it to end this way, but it was for the best. You knew that.
You just crawled into bed, tears streaming your face after Shawn had left. You wished it hadn’t been under these circumstances, but you don’t always get what you want unfortunately. You hoped that if you fell asleep, that you’d wake up, and all this pain from your worst nightmare would go away.
Your eyes slowly fluttered open, adjusting to the small light drifting through your room because of the small owl night light that was in the power point in the other side of the room. It would illuminate the room in the dark, as you had a small fear of being alone in the dark.
It was a small gift Shawn had bought you while he was on one of his tours. He’d seen it while passing through a small town, and just had to buy if for you. It had been plugged into the PowerPoint ever since. It was one of your most favourite gifts from him.
A few tears had escaped your eyes because of the nightmare, which was so very real, that you were surprised. You didn’t want to believe that this nightmare was real. Was it? Did you and Shawn really break up?
You picked up your phone, realising it was 2:31am. You let out a sigh, opening your messages to message the last person you messaged. Or so you thought. After searching through your recent messages to find Shawn, you sent him a message.
Y/N: Please don’t tell me that we have broken up.
read at 2:32am
Shawn: What are you talking about, love? It’s 2:30 in the morning, you should be asleep. read at 2:34am
Y/N: I had a nightmare, about us breaking up. I just wanted to see if it were true or not.
read at 2:36am
Shawn: Honey, we broke up almost two months ago.
read at 2:38am
Y/N: ... what?
read at 2:39am
Shawn: You probably don’t remember, but you got a concussion while you were working yesterday. You got sent to the hospital. The doctor said slight memory loss might be a symptom.
read at 2:43am
Tears started streaming down your face at the news. You weren’t expecting to find out that your nightmare was in fact real. That was the last thing you wanted right now. That was why it felt so real, because it was.
Y/N: Oh, thank you, for telling me. I’m sorry, I just thought we were-
read at 2:45am
Shawn: Still together? I understand Y/N. You wouldn’t have remembered otherwise.
read at 2:47am
Y/N: Yeah, I guess. Bye Shawn.
read at 2:48am
Shawn: Bye Y/N.
read at 2:49am
You placed your phone down again, more tears escaping your eyes at the news. Almost two months? One small concussion made you forget you and the love of your life broke up? What a nightmare, that wasn’t even a nightmare.
You got up from your bed, opening your cupboard up. You pulled out the leather jacket that was hanging on the hook, a few more years escaping your eyes. This was always his favourite jacket, and he let you keep it.
You hugged the jacket to your body tightly, inhaling his scent that had been left behind, as it was one of the only reminders you had left of him. So much for a nightmare to make all your worst fears come true, when you were now living one, without him in it.

Vampire!Red Velvet
mmm version; here!
Irene:
ultimate momma vamp
she has a huge pack that adore and respect her so much. she took them under her wing, helped them control their hunger and showed motherly care. but she can also be strict if need be, such as if one of them comes close to giving away info to enemy packs
she was searching for new, lost souls to take under her wing when she came across you being attacked by an opposing pack leader
unable to miss an opportunity to take out the enemy, she kills them while they’re distracted by blood lust then nurses your pale, almost blood drained body back to health
being saved by a vamp was a weird concept for you but it’s why you fell so hopelessly in love with this cold yet warm beauty
Wendy:
number two in charge; when the leader’s away, all problems go through her
she’s super soft and warm and seems like the least likeliest to be a vampire
she captures your attention by being the only busker in the world to busk at night. shrouded in darkness, she sits on the edge of the water foundation in the park and plays songs to the late night stragglers going home drunk or walking their dogs
she doesn’t earn much so you can’t help but question her about this tactic one day
“oh, I’m not doing this for the money. I just like to sing, is all. Do you have a song request?”
maybe it was her sweet voice or her beauty but something about her drew you out every night, to watch her play in the dark park
this carries on for weeks, until you get to know her better and earn her trust. she tells you her secret, also prepared to snap your neck if you tried to run or scream (her communities safety was vital)
when you don’t, when you’re shocked but accepting, she will continue the relationship for a number of years before turning you into a vampire
the pack jokes that you’ve been an unofficial one for so long that you being a vamp now doesn’t change anything
Seulgi:
a scouter. she’s quick and light on her feet, able to track down the greatest vamps for Irene’s pack. she’s also so cute and unassuming that she draws no attention to herself
tracks you down, an omega who left your pack for personal reasons and convinces you to come back with her
she helps settle you in to your new family
does cute things like play you piano and impress you with “oh, yeah Chopin himself taught me this” or shyly admitting that the valuable, classical painting of the girl she resembled was actually her. “the painter said he wanted to capture my beauty forever. which is not only embarrassing but ironic ... It’s not like I’m going to die of old age haha!”
captured the hearts of many during her centuries roaming the earth but the only one to ever capture hers was you
*gladly accepts her heart*
Joy:
surprisingly cold and calculating
she has a bubbly personality that puts enemies at ease, only for her to turn around and rip them limb from limb. and she’s the most efficient at luring humans to their deaths
she’s always hungry for blood and over her hundreds of years, she developed an acquired taste. she compares it to how humans treat wine. she searches constantly for the finest humans to wet her palette with
your blood being the finest she had ever encountered
only, as she stalks you over a number of days, planning her attack to take you away w/out making it look suspicious, she gets to know your quirks and habits, that you like some of the same things as her, that you make such a cute face when you’re concentrating
this leads her to approach you one day pretending that “Hi, I’m new here. Could you show me around?”
the friendship turns to more and when you know her secret, you offer to let her take some of your blood every so often; enough to taste but not put you in danger
she can no longer feed from anyone else, turning down all offers from her pack
“why would I want something so disgusting when I have a delicacy right in front of me?”
Joy’s short hair is everything <3
Yeri:
was so upset about being turned at first. her family was attacked by a rogue vamp and he left, thinking he’d killed everyone but instead accidentally turned her. very young, all alone and dealing with a new blood thirst and rage; yeri went crazy
she tracked down that vamp and killed him brutally, killing and draining many humans along the way
Irene heard tale of suspicious drained bodies in a nearby village so she approached Yeri and offered her help, protection, a home
now she’s in control and bubbly and always up for helping out newbies, since she too knows what that feeling is like
when you join their pack, she clings to you immediately. you act like it’s annoying but having a pretty girl share blood bags with you or go on long walks with was actually pretty cool ya know >.>
although you’re not “officially” dating, you both always hold hands and share shy kisses. so you know you belong to each other but need no words of confirmation
the pack always “awww”s when they see you together, finding the sweet romance so wonderful and unlikely among the living dead

The lure of tall buildings: A guide to the risky but lucrative world of rooftoppers
The ultimate selfie can bring kudos and cash to urban rooftoppers
When teenager Harry Gallagher clambered on to the roof of Canary Wharfs highest building his exploits went viral. Gallagher, 19, aka Nightscape, is a rooftopper, someone who gains access to buildings and restricted spaces to take photographs of themselves, often hanging in precarious poses. To the uninitiated, it might appear to be a new phenomenon, but rooftoppings genesis lies in the long-established urban explorer movement, known as urbex.
An early exponent was Jeff Chapman, or Ninjalicious, the late Toronto-based explorer who in the early noughties infiltrated buildings and underground systems, recording his adventures in his zine, Infiltration. Chapman tended to shun the limelight, but now rooftoppers are aiming ever higher in their quest for personal glory and reward.
Urban exploring is beginning to splinter into different practices, said Theo Kindynis, a criminologist at Roehampton University. What was traditionally thought of as urban exploration, fetishists exploring abandoned mental asylums, that sort of thing, is mutating. Youve now got subway explorers and youve got rooftoppers like Nightscape doing the foot-dangling thing. As a result, youve got new attitudes and etiquettes evolving. The old take-nothing-but-photos-leave-nothing-but-footprints adage is increasingly irrelevant.
Gallagher has previously targeted Robin Hood airport in Doncaster, the roof of West Hams new stadium, and the London Olympic parks Orbit structure. His exploits are posted on his YouTube channel and promoted through Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. His latest hack, released online last week, will have helped send his reputation soaring. Gallagher and a friend can be seen climbing on to the roof of One Canada Square and scaling its pyramid.
At the start of the video, already viewed 450,000 times and liked by 45,000 people on YouTube, the pair describe the challenge as almost impossible and express astonishment that they were able to pull it off. But Kindynis is not convinced. These guys are notorious within the scene for poaching other peoples spots. I highly doubt they were the first people to get on to the roof of One Canada Square. They were probably told how to do it by someone else. Within the urbex community, these things tend to be kept hush-hush, but now its on YouTube and they will have changed their security measures so nobody else will be able to enjoy that rooftop.
Within certain elements of the community, these guys are not liked. They are seen as a problem. Cranes and construction sites and rooftops are getting locked down because these guys are prostituting it to social media.
The high-profile stunts of Gallagher and his cohorts seem a world away from urbexs original ethos and its political overtones. In an article for Domus magazine in 2011, Dr Bradley Garrett, an urban explorer and a geographer at Southampton University, suggested that urbex practitioners were reviving the practice of usufruct which basically means that someone has the right to use and enjoy the property of another, provided it is not changed or damaged in any way.
But Kindynis suggests the selfie generation are not in it for the philosophy.
For the people doing it, its all about the image, getting the cool, exclusive YouTubable footage. Its about building their personal brand, all about the image, all about the spectacle.

And why not? Building a rooftopping brand can be lucrative. Gallaghers Nightscape website sells original T-shirts for 24.99 and hoodies for 39.99. Not that he is unique in turning his exploits into cash. Urban free climber James Kingstons website sells posters of him balancing precariously in a variety of places as well as a range of T-shirts.
But selling merchandise is only one element. Gallaghers highly stylised video of the One Canada Square hack has its own soundtrack, which carries links to promote the featured songs. He recently appeared in a short film for fashion brand Palladiums new range of waterproof boots.
As Gallaghers mother, Amanda, told the Times: We come from a modest background and never had any financial stability. The day he went up West Ham [stadium], we couldnt buy a jar of coffee that morning. By that night, hed gone viral. Thats when he came to me and said: Now, you get it, Mum. Now you see what this is, what its allabout.
Milo Hale, a photographer and rooftopper with 15,000 followers on Instagram, believes the movement is coming out of the shadows and into the mainstream. The whole Instagram scene has helped it develop over the last few months, Hale said. It has completely blown up around the world. It was definitely one of those things that was quite underground and people didnt really know about it and now its come out to the wider audience through social media.
Hale, 20, who got into rooftopping through parkour, or free-running, acknowledges that its growing popularity poses new challenges. Brands are gravitating towards rooftoppers as social media influencers because they cut through to younger audiences far more effectively.
One survey suggested that 70% of teenage YouTube subscribers trust influencer opinions over traditional celebrities. But the rooftoppers risk losing credibility if they are seen to be too commercial.
Theres a lot of companies Im in talks with, Hale said. But for people like me and rooftoppers on Instagram, theres this desire to want to keep your work authentic. Obviously, I want to work with brands and create content for them, and to be able to fund what I want to do, but at the same time I think theres a sort of caution from creators and rooftoppers, particularly to not sell it off in the wrong light and not just sell out just because they can.
Not everyone seems to have such qualms, and there is a sense that many rooftopping images are in danger of becoming cliched. Every day I look at Instagram and there are literally hundreds of kids doing it, Kindynis said.
The surge in interest also brings problems. I get a lot of messages from people asking, oh can you show me how to get up on that rooftop blah blah blah, and I always say no because I dont want to be responsible for someone going up somewhere theyre not comfortable with, and if that goes wrong, thats on my conscience, Hale said. Its difficult finding that balance between sharing it and not not forcing people to do it but not pushing people into it when you know they shouldnt be doing it.

The UKs burgeoning army of rooftoppers is unlikely to eclipse the success of Viki Odintcova, a Russian model recently snapped in a precarious pose leaning out of Dubais Cayan Tower skyscraper the worlds tallest building when it opened in 2013.
The 22-year-old, whose Instagram account now has more than 3million followers, uses her social media presence to promote a bewildering variety of brands. Visitors can click on tags in the images that take them to other Instagram sites promoting everything from teeth-whitening products to bracelets and underwear.
Odintcova is not the only Russian model to use outlandish rooftop stunts to promote herself. Angela Nikolau, 23, was photographed on a crane at the top of a 640m tower under construction in China. With around 450,000 followers on Instagram, she is fast carving out a reputation for taking the most dangerous selfies in the world. Like Odintcova, her account is tagged to a growing range of brands. One of the stunts was sponsored by a Russian travel insurance company.
Unsurprisingly, the major fashion brands have also clocked the trend. In 2014 Nike launched its All Conditions Gear range, complete with a promotional video in which a hooded figure is poised dramatically on a roof edge. Gallagher has promoted Converse Chuck II trainers in an edgy urban explorer montage. Red Bull TV has an urbex section featuring a group of urban explorers [who] risk life and limb to get inside, above and around some of the most forbidden places onEarth.
But the appropriation of urban exploration by the selfie generation is triggering a backlash. Kindynis said that some within the movement, especially the subterranean explorers who roam sewers and subways, were going offline because they dont want to attract the same attention and dont want it turned into a spectator sport the way rooftopping has been.
They are, however, likely to be outnumbered by the many others who know that taking the ultimate selfie can earn them kudos and cash. Kindynis is worried about where rooftop mania will end. More and more risks are being taken. I dont think anyones died in London, but its only a matter of time.
