I never needed to know that car window tinting has an entire culture built around it. And I'm upset now >>

[belost-the-watcher]

Intrusive Thought (for Belost): If I was ever ordered to attack Nyxalius or Hyperion, would I?

"Oh yeah. Let me go attack a god. I know I'm a badass but I don't see Bone Boy or Mr. McLargehuge going down by conventional means. Forget friendship for a second, that's just purely above my paygrade."

[belost-the-watcher]

"Oooh, Queen Mommy Qesso! Lemme talk to her!"

He'd get to the bottom of things. The bottom of what was now official Qessyn backstory, whether true or not.

“THAT’S ALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL AND YOU KNOW IT!”

Inhaling sharply through her nose, she straightened.

“You know what? I’ll disprove it right now. I’m calling my mom.”

She gets her phone out, and taps her contacts.

[belost-the-watcher]

"Yeah, I cleaned my own room too. Normal, non-royal people don't need to brag about that. The evidence just keeps on piling up. The name, the denial, the anonymous rumors. Thought you could just keep it hidden from your bud forever, huh?"

@belost-the-watcher

Castle? BUTLERS??? Where did he—oh.

“—NO. No no no. I know exactly what’s being referenced here and I’m nipping that in the bud now.”

“Just because my last name is the same as the royal family’s does NOT mean we’re related. It’s just coincidence. I’m not royal.” A pause. “Even if I WAS a royal, it certainly didn’t do ME any favors. No castle, no butlers…I had to clean my OWN room growing up, thank you.”

Rumor has it a certain Admiral likes a certain mercenary... Or was it the other way around?

Embarrassment process overflow detected...

Initiating emergency shutdown contingency....

Clearing temporary memory...

...done!

Embarrassment process usage at 0%

Contingency successful!

Rebooting...

"I am sorry, my mind must have been elsewhere for a moment. Please, excuse me. I am needed on the bridge."

[belost-the-watcher]

Have you heard? Supposedly that Vrayaka woman and her siblings have royal blood in them! The royal family of Ieuzuno bore that surname before they were integrated with the Galra.

"Huh. No kidding..."

He poked his head around the corner.

"Qess-o! How come you never invited me to come hang out at your castle? Scared I'm gonna teach all your butlers how to freak nasty and ruin them?"

Meanwhile Rocket is incapable of sleeping longer than two hours at a time and 4am being when he goes down for his third block of sleep.

"Two hour shifts of sleep? Yeesh. I've got shit to do. Like sleep four two hour shifts in a row."

[belost-the-watcher]

Belost waking up naturally at 4am and seeing a friend get up after noon:

"Bruh."

[belost-the-watcher]

"Check out Mr Smartypants." He glanced down at the tracks Troku had been inspecting. "You live nearby? Wouldn't want to be running dudes through your backyard at all hours of the day."

He chuckled and nodded, knocking his knuckles on his chestplate. "Yeah, this might have given it away a bit. How long you been out, though? Can't imagine it's been too long if you're still whipping knives around like that."

"I'm Troku, but most know me as Truth. I'm familiar with that method. Scout out a good location and give recruits scenarios to test their thinking and adaptability in different environments. Simple but effective." Truth knew he could track the deer later. Thankfully the tracks were still fresh in wet soil and weren't going away too quickly. He turned to the other and looked him over. "Should have guessed you were military."

[belost-the-watcher]

Happy Father's Day! Remember to give your dad a call!

And some personal love for the dads / godfather among my characters! ^^

[ Pointed ears twitch at the rumbling of his own stomach, finally raising his gaze from the sewing project he's been working on for a while. He looks outside the window and grimaces. ] "Huh."

"The sun's rising."

"Oh man. Somebody's up early and being productive. Look at Mr Goldenboy here-"

Then he saw the dark around his eyes.

"Oh. Wait... You're just being a no-sleeping degenerate. Well, then... What've you been working on that's so cool that you're ruining your day for it?"

[belost-the-watcher]

"Overwhelming, huh? Well better than not giving enough love, right?"

He chuckled and hugged him back. Then squeezed him tight and lift him off the ground with ease. "Sure. I guess I'll take that. Won't be long- prolonged Belost exposure's known to have that effect on people you know."

💋 (No escape on the kiss memes! XD)

Rain couldn't help but roll his eyes with a small smirk. He would reach up to grab Belost and pull him down so he could kiss his cheek. "I have no clue why you desire such from me, but I never said you could not have one so, there you go."

[belost-the-watcher]

"Ooooh, I see. So in other words you know you'll get all giddy and can't afford to learn you're into me. I see. Well come on, bud. Gotta give your guilty pleasure that hug at the very least."

💋 (No escape on the kiss memes! XD)

Rain couldn't help but roll his eyes with a small smirk. He would reach up to grab Belost and pull him down so he could kiss his cheek. "I have no clue why you desire such from me, but I never said you could not have one so, there you go."

[belost-the-watcher]

"Just one of my many talents." He put his hands on his hips and playfully mimicked an offended look.

"Uh huh. How are you even supposed to know if we're not romantic sweethearts if we haven't even gone through the kiss test?"

💋 (No escape on the kiss memes! XD)

Rain couldn't help but roll his eyes with a small smirk. He would reach up to grab Belost and pull him down so he could kiss his cheek. "I have no clue why you desire such from me, but I never said you could not have one so, there you go."

[belost-the-watcher]

He chuckled back at him and leaned down to get his kiss.

"C'mon. You think I'd pass up a kiss from the Alluring Apricot? Or is it the Pensive Pumpkin because you always go for the cheek with me? Could be both," he said and tussled his hair.

@cosmic-gemstone

Qessyn’s ears perked up. “Ah, well. I don’t usually have a difficult time with them, sir. But it’s always fun to spend time with others and see their reactions. Tapping the start button, she read the screen.

Qessyn tilted her head. “I’m getting the distinct impression that they don’t expect me to come back and this sub is my coffin.” BEGINNING YOUR DESCENT “Oh, here we go ohWOW this is REALLY a makeshift submarine. And an ocean of blood? I assume supernatural forces are at work here…or we’ve discovered what happened to all the people on planets.”

The cybernetic prosthetic for Silixus' eye flickered briefly as it instantly scanned and processed the text on the screen.

"So they have no infrastructure remaining but they still have convicts. I suppose there will always be undesirables even in the worst circumstances," he said and crossed around to the front of the couch to take a seat beside her, giving his lone organic leg a chance to rest from supporting the weight of his prosthetics.

"I wonder if the engineers adjusted the design around the reduced crush depth- Given blood is 0.06 grams per milliliter more dense than water." Probably not, but the setting had already gotten Silixus' mind running with ideas and solutions.

"What is it that you control in the craft?"

[belost-the-watcher]

"Sheesh. And I thought some of our boys were paranoid. Don't worry about it- as long as it's a one time thing..."

He relaxed some, leaning back against a tree. "Not quite. More like location scouting. I like to mix up locations for training recruits when it's my turn to play teacher. Forests are dime a dozen but they all have their own little quirks. Name's Belost, by the way."

"More so it's an old reflex from my time as a soldier. Better to be cautious and ready than be caught by surprise. Thank you and sorry about that." Truth took his knife and put it back into it's sheath on his waist before he spoke again. "Wasn't expecting another person out here. I take it you're out here hunting as well?"
