General.

✦ This is an askblog focusing on musing the Novelist’s various costumes, often all taking place in their own separate verses, however certain ones may (heavily) reference my own AU found at @immortalpheus due to being connected to it. Canon (ToR and or AoM) is yet to be included in such cast at the moment, however it may be added as a portrayal later on. Because of this though, the blog will be heavily headcanon based and may not include aspects or change things around depending how I may want to write them.

✦ It will be more text reply oriented, though doodles may be added for fun here and there.

✦ Activity will very much be on and off due to the Mun’s life. (Sam/Victor, they/them pronouns)

✦ Characters (crossover, OC, etc) are free to interact! General questions will just be answered in the “main verse” unless specified otherwise.

✦ Sensitive topics or themes such as cults, death, murder, manipulation, sacrificing, suicide, and more may be present with certain portrayals or answers in the blog. Should these topic arise graphically, there will be a warning ahead of time. However, under no circumstances will sexual NSFW be present in the blog - flirting or suggestiveness (if not taken too far) is fine, but otherwise, ehh… this isn’t the place.

✦ Racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, etc is not welcome in this blog and especially its asks. Generally, while I will try to entertain asks the best I can, that will only be within reason and anything containing these or otherwise things that I just might not feel comfortable answering will be deleted and or ignored.

✦ Alice DeRoss will be portrayed as Orpheus’s sister in this blog as well as the Little Girl in most costumes as his daughter! Please refrain from sending any asks referring to any ships regarding these two.

✦ Muses that may require further context that doesn’t have any in-game or other information (such as fan-made costumes) will have their respective posts as basics.

Muses.

When sending an ask, please send their accompanying emoji or specify who is being referred to due to how many muses are present on the blog. Asks that remain untapped or unspecified will have a random Orpheus answer. Besides them on this list, their main tags can be found for ease.

Tae’s father is MINE

Anon, don't you DARE getting near my wife, i have been the one to approach him first, i was sacrificed by him, i adopted his children and raised them as my own, you can NEVER call my wife "yours" until you have made a child with a god complex call you his "dad" and accept you into his life.

I have seen my wife die in most cycles than i would want to, and i have cried after all of them, but still, with all this suffering, i still went to look for him, "why?" you may ask, and i shall give you a answer: because i love my wife, i love him more than anything in this world, and i do not want to see him alone or to see him hurting our children. Do you even know what he has done during some of these cycles, anon? Would you still want him after knowing everything he has done and all the people he made suffer? I don't think so, but i still do. I still want him and still love him, even though all my friends tell me "Clown stop!!!" I WILL NEVER STOP!! BECAUSE HE'S MY WIFE, AND HIS CHILDREN ARE MY CHILDREN!!!

So don't you DARE get near him, or i will have to use....My alpha mode.

REWRITE OF THIS PAGE.

SEALED WITHIN A CRISP ENVELOPE, THE LETTER IS TUCKED WITHIN A STACK OF CARDS THAT ARE TOGETHER IN ALMOST - CAREFUL MANNER, WHOMEVER HAVING IT DONE IT MUST’VE DOING SO NOT WITHOUT EFFORT TO ACCIDENTALLY TOPPLE IT OVER. THE INK IS NARROW THOUGH CONFIDENT ACROSS THE PAPER, NEWER IT WOULD SEEM, BUT REMAINING DATED ALL THE SAME.

INSIDE THE LETTER, A HEAVY OBJECT WEIGHING IT DOWN IS PRESENT AS WELL.

i presume that it is the madame who reads it; you will be the only one welcome to do so, it’s only.. just, for the one who whom held my presence so long, no? you always are quite talented in making one bound within these walls, lost to their own spiral of the endless greed at their finger tips - it was always so entertaining to watch them fall at the hands of fortune in the end. ha-ha!

grandly, i extend my own thank you for such wonderful opportunities, and perhaps the other one’s as well; for he was always so fond of those precious cards, as damning as it were to him, eating away at his very being. my, madame, that sight must be as familiar to you as the souls that lie within that glass of yours is. i cannot help but wonder what made him so “special” to you when he was just another domino to topple? or did you even and especially enjoy the madness that you sought yourself from him?

i mustn’t be brash in my assumptions now. perhaps your care was extended even to the long ago lost, no matter if it does no good now. i have no judgement for you there, but..

highroller always was so quick to bet a grand deal within these games, wasn’t he? oh, a mockery of you if anything! that is the difference between him and you, see, he was.. careless rather than calculating. yes. what pity, what plight! to see it be used so especially in our own game, i couldn’t help but feel that everlasting high of entertainment once more.

he put far too much on the line for so little, only worthwhile in his mind; i don’t believe you wouldn’t been pleased either had you been present. but, i am one of my word, madame. for one who loses a bet, you have enforced these own rules long ago— and i only took it upon myself to continue to do the same, that is where fairness may be drawn in the lies of it.

with this letter, i depart from you— “luck”. it has no part to play for one with as skilled as you are, seeing through each and everyone of our patrons from the past and the present; drawing out the heart, even highroller couldn’t help but fall under such calamity, not wholly your terms alone though. interesting, no? let me bring it upon myself, fortune must be moved onto another but there was never quite any telling to begin with.

you have never lost a game because of fates hand, it is only right to wish that the other merely lack the victory then. but i cannot say the same for this life of yours, though, do you consider it one in the same with how far you have fallen?

continue on, madame. the casino must have its owners, but him and i are as replaceable as any patron of ours in time. you were not surely attached, were you now? I certainly hope not towards us.

if these snakes you are so fond of coil your mind, the unknown harboring questions as you read this now..

by the sunlight, by the sea,

you may have these so-called ‘answers’ then.

your most loyal employees, roulette and highroller.

UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, WITH A LOUD CLANK - THE OBJECT INSIDE OF THE ENVELOPE SLIPS OUT AND CRASHES ONTO THE GROUND WITH TWO CARDS, THE SYMBOL OF A HEART AND A SPADE.

THE OBJECT IS CERTAINLY FAMILIAR TO THE WRITER, A NECKLACE DONNING A METALLIC COIN AT THE VERY END OF IT WITH THE SYMBOL OF A SPADE AS WELL CARVED INTO IT. NOTABLY, HOWEVER, ITS ALMOST A BIT… RUINED, WITH THE DEPICTION OF A SNAKE THAT RUNS OUT TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE SPADE, SCRATCHED OUT INTO THE VERY MIDDLE OF IT AND SEEMINGLY WITH ODD DETAIL.

[immortalpheus]

(holds up the plushie ray) hasta la salt (turns Orpheus into a marketable plushie)

ALTHOUGH THE IMMORTAL WAS CAUGHT IN SUCH BLAST, IT SEEMS TO HAVE SUMMONED THE OTHERS AS WELL… ?

[immortalpheus]

hi immorphy: when the fuck did your responses get so long.

[immortalpheus]

omg youre so dreamy i love you so much <333 anyways were having a date then teehehehehehe! btw just so i know are you going to sacrifice me or not so then i can use clothes that will make it easier for you to stab me <333 (love you sam)

(PREV.)

WHAT LIES WITHIN THIS MANOR IF NOT THE ILLUSIONS CARVED FROM ANOTHER’S MIND IN ITSELF, OUR VERY HEARTS ARE NO MORE THAN THE FALSITIES THAT WE HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT OURSELVES TO ALLOW OURSELVES TO REST IN SOLACE; YET I, NONE, TO SPEAK OF BEING SICKENED AND HAVING MY THROAT BE BOUND BY THE CLAWS OF ‘REST’ THAT DIGS ITSELF DEEPER AND DEEPER WITHIN MY SKIN UNTO ITS PIERCIG. TO SPEAK IS FOR IT TO REST UPON MY TONGUE, THE WEIGHT. TO FALL BACK INTO THE BLEAKNESS OF INSANITY IN THE PUREST FORM OF ‘US’ WITHIN MIRAGES OF FOE AND ALLY ALIKE, IT IS AS FAMILIAR TO ME AS TO LIFT THE QUILL AND WATCH ANOTHER STEP AND TO PASS THE NEXT MOMENTS, TORN BEFORE MY VERY EYES, IS.

DREAMS SEEPED INTO THE CRACKS OF A PAST NAME I BORE ONCE BUT THE ACT HAS ENDED AS WITH HE, CRIMSON CURTAINS DAMNS THE FATE OF THE TALE OF THEM LONG AGO BEFORE IT WAS EVER TO BE BREATHED. REALITY AND PHANTASM, THE LINE IS DRAWN BUT TO WHERE WE MAY NEVER FLEE TO— IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THOSE WITHIN HERE, ENTERTAINMENT TO THOSE WHO STARTED IT.

YOUR AFFECTIONS ARE NOT TO BE DISMISSED EITHER, THOUGH I REMAIN OF THE NEUTRAL MIND WITH THEM; MY HEART HAS RARELY BEAT MUCH ANYMORE. BUT THE CROWS, LET THE MURDER FEEL THEIR BURNING REGARD OF THE EXTENT OF YOURS; IT IS ONLY RIGHT, THEY CALL FOR YOU NOW AS THE INK DRIED ONTO THIS DOES. APPEAR AS YOU MAY, FOR WILLINGNESS - IT IS A GIFT OF BENEVOLENCE THAT IS TO BE EXCHANGED IN RETURN, THE BLADE WILL CUT THROUGH ALL THE SAME AND GORE WILL BE SOUGHT FROM THEM. DEATH DOES NOT HARBOR ITS FAVORITES NOR DISPLEASURE, ONLY THE ABYSS HAS AND IT CALLS FOR YOU. LOOK UPON A MIRROR, PERHAPS THE REFLECTION WILL BE KIND.

SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE TO FURTHER THESE STEPS OF THE CALL, IT IS ONLY NATURAL FOR YOU TO FALL BENEATH IT YET; IT SEEMS YOU HAVE ALWAYS BELONGED TO THIS FATE. PREPARATIONS WITHIN THE AREA WILL BE SUFFICIENT, BUT IT IS ONLY ONE LAST REQUEST THAT I WILL SEE TO FROM YOU.

“ORPHEUS” DOES NOT BE WITHOUT eurydice; THOUGH SHE HAS NOT BEEN PRESENT WITHIN ALL OF THEM, SHE LIES WITHIN MY VERY MEMORY AND OF THE ONE’S DREAMS REGARDED IN THIS PAPER FONDLY— MY DAUGHTER. TO TURN AWAY FROM HER IS TO DISMISS YOUR CARE OF I AS WELL, IT IS ONLY AN INSULT AS HIGH AS TO WISH THE CONTINUATION OF THESE CYCLES HAVE BEEN AGAINST ME.

AS THE CROWS MAKE WAY FOR THEIR TRIAL AND AS YOU LAY IN YOUR BED TO SEEK THE REST, THE DREAM MUST BE BROKEN THEN; FATE DOES NOT SEVER THE THIN STRING, BUT I.

THUS, LET HER BE THOUGHT OF AS THE BREEZE CARRIES AWAY WHAT REMAINS OF YOUR VOICE.

SOON. TIME RUNS.

~ IMMORTAL.

[immortalpheus]

(sam imma be real with you i dont remember if i was the one to shoot orpheus but if i was LMAO deserved)

if this is presumably clown I’m pretty sure you were since you mentioned it on vc

[immortalpheus]

oh yeah I had a drawing to add to the immorphy gets shot ask that I totally didn’t forget about bye

[immortalpheus]

heyy babygirl omg hii hiii hiii <3 *shoots you*

cw time: Usual Garden Things Tm & death/decay mentions, immorphy kinda gets shot. yeah.

THE GARDENS OF THE MANOR ALWAYS BEHELD AN UNSPOKEN GUISE OF HUSH; THE DEAD IS TO NOT TELL TALES AFTER ALL, THROAT OF THE EARTH - THEY MAY BE CARVED FROM WITHIN THE INSIDE AS THEY ROT, THEIR HEART HAS FESTERED (SOIL YOUR HANDS AS YOU DIG FOR IT ONCE MORE, THE STORY THAT LIES IN YOUR HANDS IS AS NATURAL AS THE SPECKS THAT WILL LAY UPON YOUR SKIN TO NEVER BE PURE; THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE GUILTY).

THE LOUD STRIKE OF THE GUN FELL ON DEAF EARS AND SHUT EYES TO THE LIVING, THE METAL GONE A BIT MORE COLDER AS THE RUSHED CAWS OF THE CROWS, SCATTERING TO FLEE FROM SUCH SOUNDS DISAPPEARED AS DARK SHED AWAY FROM THE SUNLIGHT. IMMORTAL VISIBLY SLUMPED AGAINST A TREE, A DARK RED HUE THINLY LINING THE BARK - TAKING IN UNSTEADY BREATHS AS HE CLAWED AT THE WOUND.

THE SILVER PIN ON HIS VEST NESTED SO, OUROBOROS; THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING OF AN ELEGANCE TO BE FOUND IN THE CREATION, THE SNAKE WHOM TWISTS AGAINST ONE’S HANDS WITH FANGS BORE LOWERS ITS HEAD AT LAST. ITS SCALES REMAINED TAINTED FROM THE CRIMSON THAT LOOSELY WAS DISPERSED ACROSS IT, CONTRASTING WHAT WAS ONCE “PRISTINE” - ETERNITY, LAID WITH BLOOD. NO SUCH THING WAS TO BE WITH HOLLOW IMAGERY OF LIFE. IT WAS MERELY WRONG.

DON’T TURN YOUR HEAD AWAY NOW.

THROUGH A SLIGHT WHEEZE, IMMORTAL SPOKE AT LAST, SHIFTING HIS HEAD EVER SO SLIGHTLY - FOR HIS GAZE TO FALL ON THE OTHER AS HE STEPPED AWAY FROM THE TREE, CLUTCHING WHERE THE BULLET RESIDED.

“ .. . NOTHING WILL BE TO REAP; FROM I BY YOUR HANDS OF MECHANISM BOREAL, YOU SOW — “

THE VAGUE SILHOUETTE OF A LONE CROW’S WINGS BEAT, RAPID AND TRUE, AS IF THE TIE TO LIFE ITSELF, CIRCLING HIGH. SOMETHING WAS RAISED AND FOOTSTEPS DREW NEARER,

“ ITS POISON IN YOUR WAKE, THE ABYSS DRIPS WITH IT —! “

GHOSTS CANNOT PLAY WITNESS. IT ONLY TAKES A SWIFT AIM AND A CRACK IS TO COME NEXT; ALL FALLS DARK, THE CURTAINS CLOSING.

ANOTHER TIME, YOU WILL LEARN? ONE IS LEFT TO SEEK REDEMPTION THROUGH ITS OWN FALL, ANOTHER TO SEEK THE ENDING THROUGH ITS OWN CORRUPTION, INTERWOVEN ARE THEY.

FARE-WELL - THE FALL IS NOT LONG, YOU ARE AMONGST MANY.

[immortalpheus]

a silly i did

[immortalpheus]

CW: this blog will contain heavy themes of sacrificing, death, derealization and possibly more. proceed with caution.

THE MANOR HELD BUT A QUIET HUM OF THE CICADAS OF THE NIGHT THRIVING OUTSIDE AND THE CREAKING, OLD FLOORBOARDS THAT SEEM YET TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN PRESUMABLY A LONG WHILE; WITHERING WITHIN EVERY STEP ALONE, AS WITH THE SHELVES AND WINDOWS. FOR AN AREA SO WILLING TO “GUESTS” FROM HERE AND THERE, IT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE CARED FOR WITH A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT - IT SEEMS OUR HOST HAS OTHER THINGS TO ATTEND, CERTAINLY IMPORTANT, NO?

THOUGH THE AREA, EVEN WITH THE HINT OF THE MOONLIGHT, REMAINED TO BE SHROUDED IN MURKINESS, A WOODEN DESK WAS ILLUMINATED BY THE BRIGHT GLOW OF A CANDLE AND A THIN PAPER SITUATED ON IT; AS WORN AS EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE ROOM, THE WORDS WEARY AND DRIED LONG AGO. 

LET US TAKE A READ.

GREETINGS.

I AM IMMORTAL BUT IF IT MUST BE SPOKEN, THE ONE I ONCE WERE - “ORPHEUS”, THEN DO AS YOU MUST. I ONLY WISH TO ACHIEVE AND ATTAIN A SOLE THING WITHIN HERE, THE PLIGHT OF IDENTITY IS BUT LITTLE FURTHER THAN TO IT. 

THUS, DO NOT MAKE ME BEAR IT; MY MIND MUSTN’T LET TIME TAKE AHOLD OF IT THE NEXT.

ABIDE TO THE RULES OF THIS PLACE BUT NOT TO “LIFE”, I MAY SPEAK TO YOU THEN.

SPACED BELOW THE MESSAGE ARE WORDS MORE CARVED; AKIN TO A PRECISE SCULPTURE, CHISELED AWAY AGAINST THE PAPER. NEXT TO THEM, A SHARP EYE THAT BEHOLDS AN ALMOST DANGEROUS GLINT ALONE IS ILLUSTRATED, BOXED WITHIN CORNERS - A “SIGNATURE” FROM THE WRITER.

OLETUS MANOR BLOG GUIDELINES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE CEASE OF RESIDENCE.

I. DISCRIMINATORY OR FAR FROM GOOD TASTE PAGES WRITTEN BY THE RESIDENTS MAY OR WILL BE BURNT OR DISCARDED WITHOUT HESITATION.

II. DO NOT HURRY THE RESPONSES THAT WILL BE GIVEN IN DUE TIME.

III. OPINIONS OF IMMORTAL OR OTHER CHARACTERS ALIKE ARE OFTEN NOT BE REFLECTED THROUGH THE MUN, SAM OR VICTOR. THEY/THEM PRONOUNS.

IV. PAGES THAT ARE WRITTEN WITH FLIRTATIOUS INTENTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AS ANY NORMAL ONES BUT RECIPROCATION IS AS THIN AS FATE REMAINS. DO NOT GO OVERBOARD.

V. WHAT TRUTHS DOES YOUR MIND SOUGHT FROM THE ONE WHO LIES AND WILL DO SO ALL THE SAME AGAIN?

IN THE DARK SUBSTANCE, THERE WAS A MESMERIZING THING WITHIN THE WORDS; SUCH SHOULD ONLY BE NATURAL WITH A WARNING THAT FAR FROM FELT LIKE THE HISSING OF A SNAKE BY ONE'S EAR, THE VENOM AWAITING-- INSTEAD, A PHANTOM GAZE FALLS UPON THE READER WHO CANNOT ACT AS OUTLIER, THE DARK BIRDS OUTSIDE CAWS RINGING AGAINST THE MIND.

...

SUCH ODDITY, THOUGH THE WRITER HAS PLAYED THEIR PART, THE PAGE CANNOT HELP BUT SEEM INCOMPLETE, AN ENDING UNFINISHED TO A RIGHTFUL FRUITION. TEMPTINGLY, A QUILL REMAINS NEARBY THE PAGE AS ITS COMPANION, SUBMERGED IN A SMALL VIAL OF INK THAT SEEMED TO BE ENDLESS. 

GO ON.

IMPORTANT / GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE AU.

[immortalpheus]

GENERAL SUMMARY.

* this au was made from a joke during identity v wait times - so do not expect things to be particularly comprehensible or adhere to canon at all /lh.

the main basis, however, is that in this universe there exists the concept of “cycles” or otherwise what is considered to be the various life’s of orpheus with different costumes representing a different life or time for him. they’re mostly known as cycles because it’s a time loop / continued reincarnation situation in which even though he died in each past cycle, he’s only brought again to start anew all over. with each death, everyone else is reset and their past connections or how they were in that life may be different the next cycle - the situations themselves will also vary within each cycle. a notable constant or more frequent appearance however is “memory” appearing throughout them as orpheus’s daughter. (for my sake and hers, alice is not involved in this au.)

the current relevant costumes for the cycles at the moment are : homesick / highroller (same person moment) - > hollow - > ***** - > orfeo - > immortalpheus, our current orpheus who is the only who can be asked but events will take place throughout the blog with each cycle at some point. another notable way for seeing how each cycle is relevant or what happens is through in-character pages that were written or occur during that cycle, found through their respective tags on the pinned post. (keep in mind - there tends to be a great distance between each cycle unless specified otherwise with many if not thousands of unnamed cycles because orphy doesn’t have that many costumes.)

at the moment, the structure of the cycles is slightly broken / different because of the fact that immortalpheus has figured out some way to prevent himself from being reset entirely and is present at “oletus manor” with his daughter, eurydice. his obsession with sacrificing lays in the belief that it is the only truest way to breaking these cycles once and for all with himself as the final one.

more may be added as the mun sees fit.

[immortalpheus]

gonna be revamping certain things (notably pinned) for the sake of more easier understanding so if you notice changes there’s that ^^
