PROMPTS FROM HITMAN: WORLD OF ASSASSINATION. | @shadowborders

ALBEIT NOT HIS CHOICE IN WORDING, perhaps the sentiment had been displayed in his momentary stupefaction. it isn't as though he doesn't trust their small companion. on the contrary, the suspicion that once ailed him had all but ebbed away to an empathetic fondness in the time following his rejoining of their odd group of comrades. ( though he likes to pretend he is beyond the feeling of being out of place amid a group of two-legged things, it would be a lie to claim he did not find some small comfort in the presence of another non-human entity. ) it was perhaps a tad surprising to nanaki only because their small friend is not known to bear their emotions upon their sleeve ... at least, not quite like this.

though it isn't entirely apparent in the mess of fur & whiskers, nanaki smiles ever so slightly at the adamant creature before him, shaking his head dismissively.

❝ of course. i did not mean to offend. ❞ he turns his gaze to the skies overhead, heart heavy with a weight from which he is certain none are exempt. they are painted a beautiful, horrific picture of blue and red, with each passing day the red growing & the planets cries growing ever louder. it is easy to feel powerless in the face of such terrifying power ... but he recalls his grandfather's words: ❛  No matter what happens, isn't it important to try? ❜ they have accomplished much and more from the time nanaki first joined forces with AVALANCHE and crew. the thought of saving the world, somehow, does not seem quite as impossible as it once may have; before he adventured across this planet / heard its suffering / met a girl who, too, loved this planet, and those who share that dream to save it.

❝ i thank you for your concern, but i assure you it is nothing of merit. we all carry a shared burden with the falling of this star. ❞ he shifts back and allows himself to sit, eyes closing & cool breeze ruffling the feathers nestled in his fur. ❝ if grandfather were here, i believe he would tell us to rest, and to save our worries for when the planet is safe. we have much ahead of us... and it will not be easy.  ❞

[hyaciiintho]

which tragic death would you suffer?

the sacrifice

you die saving the thing you love. maybe it is family, friends, perhaps even a cause. they will carry your face with them for the rest of their lives, and every milestone they pass will make them think of you. it does not matter because you won't be there to experience it with them. years down the line, they will meet people who do not even know the weight of your name upon their skin. this is what your selflessness gets you in the end.

@shadowborders liked for a starter. ( for reeve )

"you-" he turns; eyes adorned with the raw red of no sleep - their heavy bags, black. tiredness, a burden that the general's been carrying with him since junon. he'd been shouldering it all; the science department, SOLDIER and the military - one thing after another neath the heal of rufus shinra. but now -

now the man was gone. another victim to weapon. nought more in his way than the woman at his side ( a woman, who, for now - he'd work with ). of course, when reeve had listened to the small cricket ( or was it a cat? ) on his shoulder and decided to go against heidegger & scarlet - he'd been met with the law. thrown into a cell while they dealt with AVALANCHE.

for now; heidegger finds himself gloating ( or is he simply, angry? ). the general can't stop the burn of bile that hisses off of lips. anger, the flare of white across tensed knuckles. he's exhausted - stressed. two days behind on his heart meds and furious beyond reason. at reeve for his betrayal? at rufus, for all he's done? AVALANCHE or sephiroth or even himself?

truth be told - he's not even sure anymore. he's simply angry.

"all this time-" his words are spoken through clenched teeth, nostrils flared and face reddened with rage "you were working with them. the enemy!" the man he'd called a colleague; the man he'd perhaps not trusted but shit, almost liked. "you - you fucking coward!"

random chaldea hcs for some muses .

urnungal . he is often confused for staff because he likes to wear modern clothes, he still wears a lot of gold & lapis lazuli though so that's a give away he is one of the servants ( that & those red eyes he has ) . it's not too rare to find his teen / singularity version near by.

emer . always a busy bee, she is really good at coordinating things & prepping stuff . if she isn't helping the staff she is most likely cooking for them, making healing potions for the master or what not . how stressed she is, is indicated by her hounds . if they sleep peacefully by her side she is fine, just busy . if the dogs are nervous & more alert she is stressed .

dinadan . this is ofc depending on any interactions with masters but I'd like to think he was one of the first summons once the story starts - the throne of heroes just said 'here, you all look like you need someone to make you laugh' he keeps the mood up .

cassandra . technically she is no mage but the staff relies on her to help with sheba & any sort of predictions . it's a bit hard at times due to the curse but the other casters & staff are doing their best to figure out if it can be broken . she might even ask a certain sheep that follows little paris around to remove the curse . also due to working a lot with sheba & the staff she has become somewhat adapt with technology . ( she got really excited during one of the modern events when she got permission to send a virus via a trojan horse... )

nitocris . it's canon she helped da vinci with the shadowborder but I think she was in general quite involved with security & building . she may spend a good amount of time in ozy's domain because of her self-imposed role as his retainer but when nobody is visiting she can be seen tinkering with things .

@shadowborders sent: Can Funky share some of his wisdom with us

"Hey dudes, not everything in life is gonna be a bookin' time on Rambi. I wish the world could be one tubular ride like the most radical wave you've ever seen. But it's not. It's full of many bodacious things, but others can be a super bummer. I understand that. I've felt that."

Funky nods with a knowing melancholy, resting that huge hairy monkey hand on your shoulder in solidarity. You're not sure given those wicked cool shades, but maybe, his eyes are teared up a little too.

"Sometimes you just gotta bust through it. Make that hole into a bonus level yourself. And change your perspective. Try opening the banana from the other end and maybe you'll find that you were making things hairy for no reason. And. Heh. If that fails?"

"There's always Sprite Cranberry. Hang loose, my friends."

     ❝ link told me about how you helped him with naboris. ❞

     ZELDA ALLOWED HERSELF to be a little less formal than she once would have forced herself to be a century ago. many of the expectations of what communication between the princess of hyrule of the chief of the gerudo should look like had been lost with the arrival of the calamity a century ago. furthermore, she & riju were close in age, & zelda was already hopeful that they would get to be friends.

     ❝ what you did was very brave, & i can’t thank you enough for helping him. ❞

     THOUGH SHE HAD seen his fight against thunderblight ganon, she had specifically turned her focus away from him once he began to head towards the desert, lest calamity ganon’s attention notice, watch him, & grow angry at his progress & begin to fight against her hold once again. zelda had listened to him fill in the gaps, & she had been unable to contain her excitement at the thought of getting to meet riju & thank her in person.

     SHE WAS HAPPY to take the chance now. it had taken them far too long to make their way to gerudo town after the calamity’s defeat, & she was determined to make up for it.

     ❝ he speaks very highly of you. i’m glad that we finally get to meet! ❞

@shadowborders​ asked :

❛ pinky promise? ❜ ( for tifa from cait sith )

&. 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. || accepting

─「ティファ」─  it was easy to give into DESPAIR, given what they had witnessed and the consequences of their actions being unfolded before them. even so, there was no turning back, or else the LIVES lost and the sacrifices they had made would all be in vain. even the barmaid felt like the time of peace they all dreamed of was something far away, and many times, she regretted the decisions that brought pain and SUFFERINGS to those outside of the circle.

                what kept them going was that PROMISE of victory, of the brighter days that would come after all the fighting. if they didn’t do this, if they didn’t stand up for the RIGHT thing, then no one would.

                she didn’t mean for the other to catch her in her moment of weakness, so the TEARS were quickly swiped away with the back of her hand. ah, she didn’t think anyone would be awake at this time of the night and looking back to the JOURNEY they went through, they really, really had come so far.

                “ i’m alright, sorry you have to see that. ” shaking her head a little to pull herself together, the FIGHTER leaned back in the slightest, eyes gazing up to the stars above as though they could provide some sort of comfort and to prevent her tears from coming back for the time being.

                “ when it’s all over ... i want to reopen seventh heaven again, and we’ll have a celebration party for our victory. i don’t know where yet, but ... i want that to happen. ” having the bar opened and seeing SMILES of those she loved was why she kept it open despite the busy schedule. so when the feline shifted closer, his large gloved hand extended with expected gaze, her eyes landed back on him.

                ❛ pinky promise? ❜

                CRIMSON HUES widened momentarily, before they softened along with her soft smile. perhaps, this was his way of cheering her up and giving her something to hold onto. with a soft chuckle, she NODDED, reaching her hand out to hook her much smaller pinky around his own and tugged firmly.

                “ it’s a promise. ”

     Grass of lush green and forests in abundance hadn’t been the sight Riku expected to greet him upon his leap. Eyes widened at the sight all the same, struck with awe by the sheer natural beauty to surround him, momentarily DISTRACTED by the view     if only just for a moment, though. With the whipping of the wind and rustling of the trees, Riku knew he’d made quite the mistake, but hope lingered as his gaze settled upon the tree line, rays of sunlight extending their hand in INVITATION to the outside world.

     Immediately did he run, pushing aside shrubbery and flora, and nearly did he become blinded by the sudden brightness of the sun beyond the shade of the forest behind. And yet, what lied before him was not cityscapes or fluorescent lights, but instead, vast fields and rolling hills, quaint villages dotting the landscape with their MODEST size.

     Oh yeah... Riku had messed up real bad.

     “Where... am I...?” He breathed, fingers brushing silver tressed from his face whilst another kick of the wind rolled by     “ ?! “     Only for the sudden flap of wings to catch him off guard, eyes lifting skyward just in time to catch the sight of an owl in flight, following its path until it seemed to HOVER nearby.

     Was that... a person down there?

     “Hey!” Quickly, he made his way down the hill, hand poised in the air with a light wave to better gain the ATTENTION of the stranger below. “Excuse me, could you help me? I just need a little bit of direction!”

9S had been instructed to wait, and so he did. To say he waited patiently, however, would be an entirely incorrect conclusion. The android fidgeted, gloved fingers idly tracing over the pattern emblazoned on the edges of his uniform, or reaching upward to adjust the strip of fabric draped over eager eyes. This particular hallway in the Shinra building was empty at the moment, save for him, but while boredom had assuredly begun to sink in, it was admittedly nice to be out of the lab.

He... didn't much like it there. 

This was still yet another test in an endless string of tests, he supposed, albeit in a much less clinical setting than the ones before it. Technically, he was a prototype, and had been sent out with a set of tasks simply to see how well his current configuration would function in a real-world application.

The sound of a nearby door opening was enough to easily catch his attention amid the quiet of his own thoughts, and his posture straightened as he turned to face it. He had not previously met the man who stepped through, but he had been told who to look for, and his description certainly matched that of the Head of Urban Development.

“Excuse me, sir? Mr. Tuesti?” Visual confirmation of his identity had nearly been established, but he still paused for a moment as though to wait for his acknowledgement before he continued. “Professor Hojo sent me, I have orders to assist you.”

          「 . . . It’s true, is it not? 」 she offers in response, her head tipping slightly to one side. Such a strange response, though she supposes it isn’t entirely unexpected. He’s not from here. He doesn’t know who she is — doesn’t know what she can do, what she can see.

what if scenario #2

how much would change if weiss was the younger brother and nero the older

ohh good question.

so, overall, we’d see more of the nero we saw in dirge than the one in intergrade. as in - a very focused, driven person that doesn’t care much for violence. he’s singularly focused on weiss’ protection and care. being the older brother means he shoulders the burden and isn’t hiding in weiss shadow, he’s casting one long enough for weiss to hide in and probably forcing him to stay there.

nero is wildly reckless when on his own but if weiss’ safety is involved then he’s cold, calculating, and focused and only very soft when dealing with weiss. he doesn’t really care about his own safety, only weiss’, and that takes a very different turn when he’s also the protector.

additionally, nero being the older brother means one key change: his mother didn't die when he was born. 

i've never headcanoned her as a very maternal figure, i've always assumed her to be a scientist who picked up grimoire and lucrecia's research. but any affection is more than nero got, and affection in those early months is important. i imagine injecting yourself full of stagnant lifestream can't do great things to you, so she probably wasn't long for this world, but he got time with her and wasn't immediately shunted into a glass container.

weiss is probably then a byproduct of her trying to rid herself of the lingering effects of the stagnant lifestream. not an intentional pregnancy or an experiment, just something that happened. she passes away shortly after he's born. nero's maybe four or five at the time and has some control over his powers and is largely obedient. they've long since learned that if they hurt him, not only do they risk the wrath of the project head (his mother) but also that the little monster lashes out viciously when cornered.

but she's gone now. nero doesn't really understand death - he's still a child, and although already possessing a body count, hasn't fully made the connection with what it means to kill someone. and so he throws a tantrum when he can't see her and they tell him she's gone. that's the first time they lock him up.

and after repeated tantrums without his mother to soothe him, they decide to stop letting him out.

he meets weiss a few years later, when they're halfway certain he isn't going to kill the other boy outright for taking his mother away from him. they explain that they're brothers, that means they're connected in a way they aren't with anyone else on the planet, and that weiss is his mother's last gift to him. something, anything, to make nero easier to manage. and against all odds it works.

because nero is horribly lonely. and this thread of connection is all he has.

the sable is surprisingly gentle with this rambunctious toddler, who despite remarkable circumstances, seems to be so utterly ordinary. nero's hands are wrapped up to restrain his powers and that makes him clumsy, and he counterbalances it being exceedingly careful when handling him. he's keen to learn absolutely everything about taking care of him, and they learn that so long as they can tempt nero with time with weiss, they've got a handle on how downright vicious he can be.

a budding monster is tamed.

the older they get, the more they trust nero and the less nero fights back against their experiments. every now and again there's a threat, unspoken but understood, that should nero fail to behave and met their standards - weiss will begin being subjected to the torture they put him through. nero understands that part of being a big brother is being a shield, and so he strives to protect weiss with everything he has. he brute-forces control of his powers so he never has fear of hurting him. at thirteen and eight they're moved into dorm housing and nero's tasked with keeping him alive.

( not that they really care. weiss is, by all accounts, a disappointment. he serves as motivation for nero to behave. )

by this point they've bound his arms. scarlet's installed prototype wings. he learns to do household chores (and he learns to do household chores, struggling with basic concepts as they were never needed in the tank he'd called home for so long) with a set of mechanical hands built for evisceration. he wipes dirt off weiss' face without leaving so much as a nick in his perfect skin.

when he's deployed for missions, something that happens with far more frequency considering the use of his powers and that refusal means losing his privileges, he leaves weiss in the care of argento. they're not really friends but nero's not really friends with anyone. but she's strong and, unlike most others, has never tried to take his head off for personal gain. nero doesn't terribly mind it when people do, mind you, as deepground is survival of the fittest and he sees little problem with people making attempts on his life. but it does lend a certain trust to her that others don't have.

nero keeps weiss away from it. no matter how badly he knows weiss wants to be a hero and a fighter. all his life he's told weiss that when he goes to the labs he's being made stronger, enduring experiment after experiment for that end - and while true, it doesn't convey the horror of it. 

it's a terrible thing to do, to shelter someone from their own reality. but he wants weiss to maintain his innocence longer than most. most of the other children his brother’s age are the children of scientists with only mild enhancements, and then the handful that are older are all like him. evidence of man trying to play god and creating monsters instead. most of them are dead now, with more dying as the experimentation ramps up.

when he gets back from one a mission, argent meets him with a grim expression. weiss had gotten into a scrap with rosso - who, understandably jealous of the fact that weiss has a protector and frustrated with being ignored by nero all her life, had been waiting for the opportunity to pounce. nero is panicked until he sees his brother is fine. there's not a scratch on him.

weiss runs up to him, delighted to show him this new trick. his brother, with no enhancements, is suddenly showing rosso’s fighting style. worse still, he’s all of nine and wants to be just like his brother. and nero, who has lived his formative years in this new deepground and was born and bred for war, is oh so proud.

and then a new fear sets in. because he knows what being special in deepground entails.

he tells weiss to hide it. to never, ever show anyone. he grips his shoulders so hard it hurts and demands him to promise. the scientists can't find out. no one can know. does he understand?!

and weiss doesn't.

but he's never seen nero look like this before. and so he agrees, afraid of his brother and for his brother. nero leans forward and rests their foreheads together and draws him close with those metal arms. weiss hugs him back automatically and unreservedly, pressing his face in his shoulder, and nero apologies with his breath catching. he didn’t mean to scare him, he doesn’t want weiss to fear him the way everyone else does. he has worked so hard to not be something weiss shies away from.

but he’s terrified.

and he realizes that they can't stay here. no one can find out. because he watches what they do to rosso and knows from the despair in her screams that she can't last forever. but he has to bide his time.

deepground worsens. weiss grows from a chubby cheeked child into a young man, straining against the unremarkable label they’ve given him. he sees in his brother’s eyes how he longs to compete with his peers - not  just to compete, but to thoroughly trounce to show his superiority - but weiss listens.

nero knows there's a rebellion coming. he’s been steadily planting the seeds as they go. spreading quiet rumors about deepground, about where prisoners of war are taken, about the missing children snatched from families in the dead of night. his goal is to get to general sephiroth - they’re not terribly far apart in age, he knows the general had a childhood spent in a lab, but the restrictors never let him close enough.

but down here things are bad and getting worse. most of the other faces he was born and raised with die, unable to cope with these new training regiments. rosso survives but when he looks at her he no longer sees the headstrong girl he knew, just a hollow-eyed wraith that only feels alive when she's causing someone to bleed. 

he doesn’t want weiss to be like that.

so he gives a plan. one of daring-do. one that promises they both escape. weiss uses his snd to download the plans for the building and they go over the route, again and again. nero divulges what he knows of AVALANCHE and promises that when they’re free, weiss can show off his light as he always wanted to. he can destroy shinra.

and so when the rebellion happens, something already doomed to fail because the best the surface has to offer can’t stand against the worst deepground has, nero has his plan ready. he shoves a helmet on weiss’ head and forces him into the uniform of a recruit. weiss is tall for twelve and no one will question it. he grabs his brother by the arm and runs, and runs, and runs. the elevator guards are all dead, above and below, and no one has called for backup. 

he shoves his brother through and into argento’s waiting hands. she knows the surface and she can be trusted. he ignores the hands reaching for him and demanding he come too. he wants to - he intends to, if he can, through a different route - but weiss isn’t their focus. 

weiss is nothing to them. he’d saw to that. nero is nothing if not calculating and he knows they’ll write argento as dead too, for a pacifist in a warzone doens’t last long.

it would be a lie to say that what followed had been his plan. really, he knows he’s buying time. being the diversion for the real escape attempt. argento soothes weiss and lets him know nero’s coming later, and maybe he would have if things had worked in their favor.

they take him down before he manages to get even a quarter of the way there. frankly, he should be dead from the damage done to him, but nero is nothing if not resilient. 

unlike weiss, he tells them. weiss had been reclaimed by the planet. a stray bullet had hit him and that had been that. nero hadn’t even had a body to hold, just lifestream slipping through his fingers, and that was why he’d exploded.

it’s believable - nero had burst into hysterics when he’d reappeared in the chaos, taking down friend and foe alike. all that careful control abandoned in favor of rage that deepground had forced him to make this choice. he’d been uncontrolled and wild, nothing at all like the reserved young man he presented himself as.

deciding without weiss as insurance this experiment isn’t worth it, nero shows them a fraction of his powers and they decide it would be better to put him back in his glass cage and put him to sleep. taking him out only when shinra has no other choice, or when they have an experiment they’re dying to test. 

without weiss, there’s no emperor to unite deepground. nero lacks the charisma and interest. he’d accomplished what he set out to do. he got weiss out before the doors slammed shut forever. now he’s listless and anxious for death to release him from this isolation. 

by the time anyone gets to deepground most everyone is dead. the one surviving restrictor send the survivors after him, because he recognizes little weiss and is oh so furious that he’s loose and so much more than they were told. 

he doesn’t send nero after them. which is all weiss wants. nero. though it must pain him to see rosso and shelke both so far gone. but restrictor laughs and says that he wouldn’t send nero out, since whatever made nero nero has long since fallen to ruin. 

when all is said and done, weiss probably finds his brother floating in a tank in the heart of the reactor. one of the only areas still fully powered, still fully capable of keeping him subdued and sedated. he’s alive but unconscious, wasted to nearly nothing. the entire building he’s housed in is full of that dark, twisted lifestream. it spills out of the doorways and windows. 

the reports warn that he’s an artificial weapon that lacks humanity. that nero is sadistic beyond belief. he delights in causing and receiving pain and nothing else.

the rest of AVALANCHE discusses whether they can afford to risk setting another sephiroth loose on the planet. whereas weiss remembers the brother who worked so hard to turn weapons into things capable of providing a comforting touch, and doesn’t hesitate to press the release.

I can’t say that I have a fave grouping of characters overall ( outside of Yuna, Paine, & Rikku cause grl pwr uwu ) I mean, y’know if your party isn’t really forced upon you like it sometimes is in a few games >_>, but if you can manage tank-ish/fighter, summoner/white mage, black mage, thief then you’re kinda golden. Kinda examples being Tidus, Yuna, Lulu, Rikku or Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, Amarant. But in some cases when the story calls for your party to be separated and you don’t really have a choice in the matter, there’s not much you can do but hoooope for the best... which doesn’t often happen -_-

What is your fondest memory from playing the games?

// Honestly... I think it has to be in FFXV. The time spent running around avoiding progressing the plot completing all the side quests I could find, just enjoying the openness and the character interactions ( and the chocobos! ) and Prompto’s photos documenting it all.

I have a bit of a soft spot for XV in general. It was my first FF and I still really love it.

◈ A Kasa’s opinion? - I’d bet all the gil in Zack’s wallet (which isn’t much, but hear me out anyway-) that these two never see eye to eye -- and if they do, it’d probably end up the most shallow of all partnerships in existence. Maybe if it were some kind of AU verse they could somehow work together?? But otherwise, I’m totally fine with these two being complete antagonists toward each other. Gimme someone Zack doesn’t get along with for once! <3
