For the Choose Your Own, Kratos will be in Mistified! This time, not as Lord Kratos (notorious war criminal and fuck-up) but Kratos the Hero! The person he was before Martel's murder and the path to ruin.

This Kratos is still hundreds of years old, but hopeful, caring, and chivalrous. He's also more expressive and quicker to anger (kind of?)

So if you want to see this absolute wet rag of a man before he became utterly detestable, this is for you!

If you want to plot something, please give this a like and we can thread!

Weird start to a birthday, eh Kratos?

[originskey]

He can recognize his own flier. He wrote it, after all, plain as it was.

"You're correct. The one you're looking for is me."

Why he, uh, sniffed him is a little strange. But ultimately harmless, he supposed. So as cool as ever, he continued.

"Classes are usually in the early morning. The next will be the day after tomorrow, if you would like to join." ... "You are...?"

"Oh--!" Teal eyes land on the guy cleaning up. This sucks. Class must be over if the guy was tidying up the area, right? "I'm looking for the guy that posted this thing." Oliver pulls out his phone to show the stranger, "But I guess I'm a little late, huh?"

Sniffing once, Oliver pulls his phone away and looks mildly disappointed that he's missed class. "I bet you're the guy who posted it too. You smell like a teacher." And believe him! HE knows what teachers smell like.

Ordinarily, noises like little blasts were not something the creature gravitated to. Those were scary; it didn't like fighting. Or battles. But there's something particular about those plumes of snow going up--it dispersed a certain scent in the air that smelled... familiar!

Genis probably didn't hear it approach until it started to bark at him. And when the boy fell to his knees, he got a very cold nose pressed against his cheek.

Rawoo...?

Look at that tail wag! Noishe seems very happy to see him! (Why he's out in the cold like this, though, it didn't have a clue. Maybe Boy should go inside...)

Noishe's eyes weren't the only ones on the young mage; from the cabin, Kratos can see both of them, but lingers there for now.

@originskey

It took time for the reality of his situation to sink in. Sure, he could accept being kidnapped or brought to a different dimension, those weren't too far-fetched. What rankled Genis' practical mind was how his magic was indeed stripped down to where he could barely cast a fireball. And for what? Was it not bad enough he had no familiar sights nor people to lean on?

Such thoughts made for the complex internal monologue that accompanied his plodding steps while staking out the best spot to work out his frustrations. Since it was winter and snow piled high in a section of Mistwood, he only needed to stay on the fringes to build himself a couple of makeshift targets out of snow.

On his knees amid the white fluff, he focused more on the solidity of snow targets than sensations like the full-body shivering occurring. It was easy enough to tune out all extraneous sounds since the weather delivered an acoustic hush, though his own short huffs and occasional curses seemed louder than usual.

Name: Ty!

Age: 30 as of this year

Pronouns: They/them

Timezone: EST

Where are you from?: Florida originally, but I finally escaped to Canada this year!

Characters in the Group: Kratos Aurion (Tales Of), whom I want to throw into the ocean, and Anda Teika (OC), whom I adore

About me: I like Snom, classical music you would find in a dreary haunted mansion in a safe room level, D&D, bugs, and food, and games. And point and click adventure games, specifically hit classic The Curse of Monkey Island, which is a classic and I think you should play it if you find it, it is Very Good!

I love shitposting and spontaneous slice-of-life threads, along with gut-wrenching sadness. I love random starters!

You can find me on bluesky here!

(I'm also Mod Caelum, and I'm fond of this old man and his robot son:)

Class let out already, but Kratos stayed behind to do his part in keeping the dojang clean. Putting the mats away, mopping the floor... He keeps the place exactly how he found it. So, fortunately, this stranger found him at a good time!

"You'll have to be more specific."

@originskey

"I know this place." Aja Aja Dojang was a well known place, wasn't it? It's been around for a little bit, so he's heard and the lady that ran this place was strong. Too bad she didn't spar with him. Said that she wouldn't go all out. Tch.

ANYWAY, he's here again, because he's seen a flyer that recently popped up. The person behind it was quick to reply too!

"Where's the guy?"

He knows he's near at least.

"...You're only a few centimeters shorter than I am, you know."

Perfect range for kissing. Just a little smooch on the forehead, very sweet.

[originskey]

"I don't think we need to know that much about each other, Eiden."

A little too late for that, though...

"As for why it happens to you, ah... If I had to give an objective answer, you seem like a free spirit and a kind soul who happens to have an open mind when it comes to... certain activities."

Respectable, but not one Kratos can relate to. He's been alive for over 4000 years and had, maybe, three partners.

"...Did you want me to stick around your shop to dissuade any unwanted suitors."

" But y'know it's part of the allure sometimes....I can't help it I'm weak to [ CAR HONK ]... but I guess you're right though I shouldn't bother with a gift, the guy made a mess of my shop! With me nonetheless... "

" .....what's with shady hot guys approaching me lately anyway? Just two right now but that's a lot already. "

[originskey]

"Take it."

"That's my territory, anyway. Back off."

[originskey]

"I'm a mercenary and a combat instructor. I'm not qualified to give relationship advice."

[originskey]

"...Firstly, your disheveled appearance came from a point of concern, not, ah. That."

"Secondly. No, I don't believe you should. I'm not an expert in the subject, but [ TRUCK GOING BY ] can probably be found in someone that isn't an ass. Please have some respect for your own well-being."

be honest, would you ever want to party??

send me "be honest…" with a question your muse has been dying to ask mine and they'll answer truthfully.

"...Define party. Some loud, flashing-light sort of party with throngs of unpredictable people? No. But a small celebration, perhaps."

"Even then, someone has to be on-guard during those types of gatherings, so it's more of a vigil than an evening out anyway."

[originskey]

be honest how much do you like puns on scale 1 to 10

".....A six, perhaps. They have their place."

Will he react? Probably not. But he doesn't hate them.
