"Do you have a cloth with you? I think there's a smudge on my screen." - Vee to Glisten!

"Oh, of course I do, Vee! You know the importance of looking your best at all times."

A tiny mirror appears over his hand, spinning and glittering for one dazzling moment before leaving behind a cleaning cloth Glisten offers to Vee.

"You can keep it, by the way; I have plenty more where that came from. It always pays to look perfect, after all~"

But for all his pomp, the mirror's smirk is a little subdued, his brow a little more furrowed than usual as he eyes the smudge. He knows all sorts of smudges well: oil, water, dust, makeup... the usual. He knows the worst one, too, though—the inky dark that stubbornly sticks to his glass in faint handprints, just long enough for the worry it wouldn't come off to set in.

It never did, of course. But the fear always comes.

She doesn't seem any worse for wear, at least. The twisted version of Gigi must have only stolen something from her. Still, after a bit of silence, he glances over to the rest of the group (preoccupied among themselves; for once, he's glad there's no eyes on him) before sidling a little closer to her, voice lowered to a hush.

"...but you are otherwise okay, right?"

Twisted Pebble... Playing rough with the big doggy

DOGGGIEEEEE

"OH HES SUPER FUN!! HES SO FAST AND QUICK AND SUPER SCARY BUT OH MY GOSH IS HE SO FUN!!"

"OK OK IMAGINE THIS! YOU HEAR GROWLING, YOU SEE THIS BIGGGG DOG, YOU GET ON HIS TAIL AND HE TRIES TO SHAKE YOU OFF BUT CAN'T SO THEN HE TRIES TO CHASE HIS TAIL! HES SOOOOO FUN!! 10 OUTTA 10"

He doesn't realllllly fight the dog, but does bolder moves to distract, like getting on his tail and holding for dear life while the dog, irritated, chases his own tail, trying to bite ballistic off. Or get on his back and tries to grab his ears which causes discomfort and tries to shake him off. He really does find him very fun and he has no fear in his body with him.

Does this count as Star Friendly Fire?

✘ - Do you think that gaining positive emotions is worth the trade for having your abilities altered (and having to relearn how to use them)?

My muse has to tell nothing but the truth for 10 asks. 2/10.

"Hmf."

The Dark Matter crosses their arms— er, ribbons.

"There is... frustration. That is true. What I have been capable of for millennia... all of a sudden, it is. Different."

Such difference can be bewildering at times, if not outright dangerous. Like in the heat of battle, for instance. Looking at you, Meta Knight—

"...Though. I have found some of these, ah... emotions... Not unpleasant. Perhaps the price paid is... acceptable? Time will tell..."

What plot points would change due to the inclusion of your character in canon? - For Hornet, if her AU verse counts as enough of an OC for this dgsgsgf

not much, frankly! (as you can tell by me answering this first lmao)

if she's with Gregory, most changes are just "here's an additional character to talk to"— she doesn't really change any endings. teeechnically she could be available to give upgrades to instead of Freddy and maybe be used to safely traverse vents the Mini Music Men are in, but those aren't. yknow. plot changes lmao

if she's NOT with Gregory then she acts as another roaming threat. normally i'd say she can be killed during the last big DJMM chase, but i'm not totally sure how that would work in actual gameplay. maybe she uses an equivalent of the Vanny Meter and shows up if you linger for too long? idk!

THE WEIRD DOG HAS BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO SWEAR--- DGDGFGDSGSBS

It's a set of amused chitters made as the mimic taps the ground with its claws. "Fuck? Fuck off?"

((This is so terrible. I'm. a little bit sorry))

a blink , a shuffle , and the clicking sound as he cocks his shotgun, and there is little warning for the genetic failure in front of him as the sound of gunshots ring through the room .

eugh . what kind of sick fuck would even make that thing .

"I HATE YOUR EXPLODING TRICKS!! NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD STAY EXPLODED!!!"

~ For Arti

The large red slugcat's ear twitches. A few sparks jump off her fur.

That's about all the warning he gets before she arches her back and the air cracks. The resulting concussive blast sends the shrimp off the nearest ledge and down into the gaping maw of a death pit.

The Artificer then yawns. Just your average cycle.

[ichorcenter]

Not even rock dogs whose muns the Sock Stuffer™ has not personally spoken to are safe.

Gently stuffs Pebble inside a large sock.

Wait wait wait hold up!! Noooo!! He squirms in the sock, trying to find the exit, he kept squirming, a tail poked out for a split second before being inhaled by the sock again. Everything was so dark! It was like an endless tunnel!!

"ARF ARF!!"

He barked the loudest the dog could muster, hoping Dandy would hear before just going quiet and whines...Danndddyyyyy... hes stick in a sockkk.. Danddddyyyy he needs helpppp..

3. someone they miss - Toriel?

Toriel is an ancient monster, and as such has outlived many friends through the time underground. There are more names missed then i could make up, but the obvious answer?

Her children. all 8 of them. Chara and Asriel perhaps do get missed most, but every other human she failed to save lives in her soul and in her guilt and regret.

Sometimes she looks at Frisk and it is so hard to not see the first human... especially when helping in the kitchen or garden...

Send me a ♔ for me to describe a favorite rp character of mine.

🕯️ Okay so I'm sticking to this blog's muses for now and since I don't play favourites in general. I'll just talk about one of the muses that has had my braincell lately.

So, Leah! A muse I have yet to draw a reference for. His original iteration was made on Discord cause I wanted to expand more on the aethers' opposite species, nagete. That soon evolved into my wanting to test aether-nagete hybrids as well and expand on that.

I tend to test a lot of storylines with close friends on Discord so I can bring a more fine-tuned version of things here for you. I did that with Maria and Leah is another example of that.

Leah in particular I've struggled developing beyond him being a permanent antagonist on the blog.

His goals are horrific and terrible (something I'm not spoiling) and has accepted playing the role as the villain for the sake of that. But he really is just a guy who wants to run his radio, tv and online shows with his cast. He's a gameshow host mainly, but he's got some other things he films for the air too, more often than not having a live show or three every night when his shows are available.

Currently he's got a small group of four that make up his main cast!

Amygdala is one of them! Leah made her shortly after he ended up self-corrupting into a mix breed hybrid. Mixing nagete shadow manifestation and Hope's own DNA, she is to epitome of a stoic mad scientist and is responsible for making any beasts and creatures that are used for security and the games Leah hosts. Treats every creation like they're her pets.

The other two I can't go into much since they aren't officially debuted here yet and are written by a friend, but they are Leah's co-host and his best friend. Folks he originally thought would be interesting to save from a "bad end" timeline of their universe.

Originally he was gonna be "just the bad guy for this episode." Now he's attached and has lowkey started to make the amusement park grounds, the tower at it's centre where shows are filmed and the living spaces at the top of the tower a home he and his cast can use even after his plans come to fruition.

Lost Now Found from HOAAR is a good song for him regarding his Cast.

As far as his relationship with Cam, Hope and Teal, it's not a good one.

Leah originally tracked the two siblings down in regards to his investigations regarding Maria and the interest he took in her life, story and legacy. Things didn't exactly work out and he put them in a state of distress instead.

Naturally this got Chamyle's attention and made Leah pay dearly for even laying a metaphorical hand on them. [He's still salty about that and Cam's job as The Archivist having meant she was keeping an eye on him. Now he's more than aware of her "passing" and has instead directed that Pettiness towards Melody.]

Despite this, Hope still gave him another chance. The two talked for a while after that incident, exchanging questions on their views and goals. Until Hope gave him- a purebred nagete at the time- an answer to a question that made him start thinking. Too much logic can start turning an aether into a nagete or completely hybrid them; something that is considered the worst fate for any aether and nagete and something incredibly taboo.

In reaction to this, Leah snapped and had a breakdown. In the midst of said breakdown, he not only kidnapped Hope- having blamed her for the change- and demanded she fix him. When she couldn't, he decided if he was going down he'd take multiple universes with him. He really wasn't in his right mind at the time and even he will admit that if you ask.

Teal was the one to solve this issue and get back Hope. Still bears an aggressive view on the host; believing him to be a heartless monster who's only true goal is destruction.

Hope is terrified of Leah and tries her best to avoid him when possible. Though she doesn't hate him. If anything she feels sorry for him.

Leah still blames Hope for his hybrid state and hates her for it. Heavily dislikes Teal because of him being one of Maria's experiments among other petty things. He won't hesitate to actively mess with either sibling and will often do elaborate things to them just out of that hate and because he finds it amusing and interesting.

As far as the rest of the multiverse?

He's a heavy believer in people being free to do whatever they want or they should be given the power to wield autonomy. It's the main motivator behind his current overarching plan.

He takes freedom very seriously and treats his usual contestants and guests with that. Picking on a volunteer basis and making sure people know what they are getting into (and that they may not leave the studio ever again should they participate in certain games.)

But he can't tell the multiverse this. Doesn't care to with how bored and tired of everything he truly is. It has to stay all behind-the-scenes. He's their enemy of the multiverse; the Big Bad Evil Guy! The Villain!!

People need to believe he's such so they can come up with their own reasoning behind his actions.

He knows the path he's taking, but he's taking it of his own free will.

✘ - If you were suddenly put back in (proper) contact with Zero again, what would you do?

My muse has to tell nothing but the truth for 10 asks. 1/10.

What would they do?

...What would they do?

The obvious answer for one like themself is... to willingly return to Zero, of course. The "correct" answer. In fact, Swordsman almost felt tempted to utter such words, yet—

...No. Not in their current state. This light— would they not be deemed defective? Wrong? Dangerous to their own kin?

Could they now... hurt Zero, they wonder?

"...Master Zero... They would find my condition... unacceptable. Grounds for disposal..."

That is how it simply is. If one cannot properly serve the purpose they are created for, they shall either be recycled or destroyed. Regardless of "rank," Dark Matter are replaceable. Swordsman knows this well, and they—

are

so

tired.

"...I would not allow it."

Soul Sanctum for the Lore, fun boss fight, and absolutely gorgeous music!! Plus Teacher's Archives has its own entry in the tournament, so I kinda feel like that shouldn't really be counted as part of Fog Canyon for the purposes of the vote (comment by @askthekirbysquad)
