The Grand Mission group plot - Casting!

Okay, I discussed this in the NnT RP chat a while back, but I want to seriously get it kick-started now! 

If you are interested in participating in an interactive Seven Deadly Sins story plot ft. Yours Truly as the “Dungeon Master”, please give this post a like.  I’ll reach out to participants at the beginning of next week.

Multi-muse blogs, please also comment which of your characters you’d like to play. We will be avoiding ‘doubles’ for this purely to avoid confusion, so please give single-muse blogs priority on their character. 

Plot is kind of tbd depending on who wants to participate -- I’m leaning towards it being a mission for the Sins during their time as Holy Knights, but I intend to adapt as needed for whichever characters people want to be involved with! The goal here is to give us opportunities for interesting interactions, character development, and just an excuse for more threads!

[boarsinned]

Hi, gang! Sorry to have been MIA -- lockdown was an Experience and I lost 100% of all creative capacity pretty early on. I’m back to work and therefore back to being motivated, and I will be replying to threads this weekend. Thank you all for your patience!

Elaine’s eyes follow Merlin as she passes, then they’re quick to flicker to the now open door. Without a moment’s hesitation, her wings give a single flap. That alone is enough to give her the speed she desires to flee the tavern. She had backed down to Merlin only moments before, but that was to avoid a fight. This way was a lot easier and in her favor.

She notices Elaine’s departure, how could she not?, but she has a new priority demanding her attention. Namely, the grey demon bearing down on the tavern at that very moment. A snap of her fingers brings Merlin outside a heartbeat later, likely in the same moment Elaine leaves the tavern’s front door. 

      “Exterminate Ray!” 

The spell flies from her fingertips as a harsh streak of light, but the hasty aim means it only manages to graze the creature’s ruff of spikes rather than blast it in the face as she’d designed. Merlin scowls as it bellows furiously.

The fact that I cannot have a playlist of music on my blog without installing a player that makes it ugly is honestly a tragedy. My Merlin mixtape slaps and I can't share it! I'm calling the police.

In other news, I've cleared my thread drafts, so if anyone is waiting on something please send me a nudge here or on Discord!

@boarsinned​ wants to talk to a (fellow) Seven Deadly Sins muse! Randomizing…

“Hey Merlin? When’s the captain s’posed to get back? I can’t exactly feed all these people if I don’t have ingredients.”

      “Unfortunately, he doesn’t tell me all his plans in crystal detail.”  She pauses, considering the ease with which she could track him if she wanted. But she’s never been one to volunteer services she isn’t asked for.

      “He didn’t say.”

There’s a long moment of silence as Elaine debates her choices. Sure, Merlin had a point, but it was physically hurting to remain trapped in these walls. Her eyes shift to the window where she could see the barricaded city. Just on the edge was where the other sins were fighting with their opponent. If she tried hard enough she could faintly hear Ban’s thoughts.

Her frown never faltering when she returns her glare on the sorceress. Her hand begins to shake when it ultimately closes into a fist and her arm drops, showing her decision to back down and avoid a fight. “I just.. Don’t want to be useless.” She mutters out with a soft voice.

She returns the fairy’s glower with an even gaze, not breaking the staring contest until Elaine’s hand falls down to her side. 

To Merlin’s own surprise she hesitates in her reply, frozen for a moment by the unexpected warmth of empathy within her chest. Damn it all, since when is she so sentimental? Since when does she care what other people feel? She isn’t sure, but the fact of the matter is that she does, and a gentle smile comes to her face.

     “I understand,” she sighs. “If waiting while the others        fight is difficult...” she pauses, fishing for a task Elaine could do. 

In the moment of silence, an almighty screech sounds from outside the Boar Hat. Merlin’s head snaps toward the window and in a moment she’s crossed the room to peer out of it.

Her eyes watch Merlin’s movements, allowing her enough time to block her escape. Her body slowly lowers and her feet gently place themselves on the ground. “Merlin.. You’re a friend of Ban’s.. I don’t want to hurt you.” She says softly, though her arm still lifting to show her palm, a threat of her own right. “But I’ll do whatever I can to protect him. Let me help.” She’s no longer using politeness or manners. This is her one and only warning.

     “Nor do I want to fight. But perhaps the best way to do so       is by your absence,” she continues, unfazed by the brush of a breeze past her ear. Elaine may be stronger than her by the numbers, but that hardly means she has an advantage where Merlin is concerned.

    “It is easy to use your strength to its limit when there is less       of it than you are accustomed to. Should you come to harm       or collapse from weakness, aiding you leaves Ban       vulnerable to an attack.”

He was cautious to approach her, as always when in his noon form. How pitiful, he inwardly tormented. Though he was hesitant, he wanted to ensure Merlin was still alive and to protect her while she recovered, despite his pathetic, current strength levels.

“L- lady Merlin! P- please! Allow me to accompany you!” He rushed out, his arms braced to catch her, should she fall.

She quirks a little smile, but even the bitterness behind it cannot keep it up for very long --- it’s little more than a twitch of her lips, in the end.

      “I’m fine, you needn’t worry,” she says, even as she supports herself with a hand on his shoulder. It trembles just a bit. Her other hand, she lifts off of the wall and dabs gently against the damp corner of her mouth. 

      “Just a bit of... well, I’m not really sure...”

“I appreciate your concern, but I am capable of looking out for myself.” Sure, Ban will be worried for her, but she’s tired of being babied. She’s tired of always having to be saved by him. She knew of her own potential. “Now, if you don’t mind.. I’m coming with you.”

      “I do mind.” 

A half step to the side puts her within reach of the door and she extends an arm across it like a gate. Obviously that alone can’t keep Elaine from leaving the room, but the meaning of the gesture is still clear.

     “You are in recovery, and potentially still dependent on the magic        of the demon realm besides.”

“Geez.. Did you forget my amazing power to steal whatever I want? This is gonna be way too easy. When I win, what’s my prize?” He grins, his arrogant attitude getting the better of him. He’d apparently forgotten her incredible talent in magic, allowing her to teleport not just others, but herself included.

Ah yes, the prize. She draws back with a soft hum. 

    “The victor --- whoever it may be --- gets to decide       the next challenge and demand any one thing of the runner-up.”

It’s better for her if he continues to forget. He is intelligent enough to build a strategy against her if he thought about it, and then she’d have to bother with working around it. Better all around if he fails altogether to recall just who he’s up against -- and she’s the one who set the game up, no less.

She folds her arms across her chest and tips her head back to literally look down her nose at him despite his superior height. 

      “So then? Do we have a deal?”

[boarsinned]

This was Too Damn Long Ago so I’ve arrived with fun personal favorite tidbits that Ellin never shared on either of her blogs.

Merlin is a Britannian cryptid: During the Demon Clan’s three thousand-year dormancy, Meliodas periodically sent Merlin to monitor and eliminate threats to Britannia’s stability; her once-in-a-generation appearances generated an urban legend about the Black Woman, whose presence heralds the collapse of unjust regimes.

Mind-Meld: On these and many other expeditions, Meliodas experiences the outside world via a split consciousness with Merlin where strong emotions, sensations, and deliberate thoughts are shared between them. They are sharing this connection when he is crucified by the vampires, so Merlin experiences that too. :)

Vampire Rebellion: The vampires held on to their racial superiority complex long after Meliodas made the Demons come to peace with Britannia. Izraf gathers the vampires and sympathetic demons to stage a rebellion. Since Mel is busy making friends and having a life for the first time ever, he doesn’t notice what’s going on until too late. While Merlin, Ban, King, and Zeldris are fighting, he gets cornered and tortured/impaled seven times/crucified to death on the door of the castle.

I had a question, you're one of the people involved in the demon king verse, right? What are some of the altercations with the new available material as of recent? I know you haven't been around much, so don't feel like you have to rush if you come back ^^

Whew, hello Anon! I have no idea how long ago you sent this in, but I am sure it has been a while so I’m sorry for the delay.

Short answer: We haven’t talked about it! It is @wrathsinned’s AU so I do not like touching it without her permission.

Long answer: Let me get back to you because to tell the truth, I want to know this answer too!

@windscint​

She takes a deliberate, measured breath to re-focus and begins again.

     “I meant only to suggest that you go somewhere safer        until this is over. Both for your well-being and for Ban’s...       peace of mind.”

Send a number to find my muse… 20. Recovering from throwing up. @Licnspride

Find my muse… recovering from throwing up  |  Accepting!

He finds her retching in the back of the Boar Hat, alone, half-illuminated by light leaking through the cracked-open rear door but mostly hidden in the bar’s sunset shadow. She glances his way just as he arrives, and an unreadable frown flickers over her lips before she composes her face as if nothing is wrong.

      “Oh, Escanor. Excuse me, I…” 

She trails off as she straightens from her hunched crouch. It seems to take a great deal of effort, even requiring her to support herself by leaning against the wall of the bar. Her face is unusually pale, her hair disheveled from being pulled away from her face.

“Ohoh~ And just what did you have in mind?” He smirks, his lips stretching far enough to one side in order to show a single fang. His elbows are placed on the counter as he leans on them, moving his upper body closer toward her.

     “Well, you’ve often expressed curiosity at what else        I’m capable of.”

She matches his approach, bringing their chests not quite a shoulder’s width apart with a smirk.

    “Perhaps a little... competition. I’ll have King hide a trinket       somewhere in the festival. Whichever one of us returns it       to the camp first is the victor.”

[boarsinned]

I’m a slow slow bitch but generally the more threads I have the higher my muse is. So like this if you’re interested in a starter, drop me an ask/DM/discord message if you have a specific hankering or plot you’re feeling. I miss my girl and I wanna do stuff.

[boarsinned]

I know the meme's a bit old, but I just saw it and wanted to send one in from Escanor

Hi! Sorry I’ve been a minute answering this, I haven’t been on much. Do you mean the “Send a number to find my muse...” prompt? I’m definitely still accepting and would love stuff from Escanor just gimme a number!!
