"Sis, help! I kept trying to have some alone time with my girlfriend but this clown keeps starting! I can't throw him out for some reason! Heeeeeeelp!"

"No."

[seleneserenade]

Alice groaned, nursing her side as she failed to sidestep one of the Pokemon horde, a stray Mightyena tackle her Arcanine dodged. Go to Hoenn. She thought. Have a relaxing vacation from Reborn City. Her own voice mocked her as she stared down the rest of the horde. Mightyena hunt in packs, but even this seemed excessive.

She felt a presence behind. One that didn't immediately rip her throat off. "Are you here to help?" She asked, in-between directing her Arcanine's movements.

you long-suffering, endlessly patient angels get two memes today bc i deleted everything in my inbox on my rp blog and i made these memes to top off a solidly productive day! also, if you ever feel guilty about “not being productive” or having to delete drafts and memes in your tumblr life, DON’T! you’re wonderful and valid and your personal comfort and peace of mind is far more important than an overwhelming inbox or draft count! anyway, these are also self-serving, but also i feel no shame bc there’s an extreme lack of this very good vibe in my line of work, so here u go besties. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THIS LIST!!

"There's no such things as goblins or orcs. You have to accept the fact that humans are the real monsters."

"Then what do you call that grasshopper the size of my torso that ripped apart that villager? Or that catfish that swallowed a fishing boat whole? Or that owl that ate an entire cow in front of the farmer?"

"Humans are some the real monsters." Leola playfully thrusts a large carapaced limb from the aforementioned grasshopper towards Alice. "Still don't know what we're supposed to do about that catfish. Hey, can you swim down and let it swallow you whole and like, shock it from the inside?"

"Absolutely not. But I suppose I'll agree with you that humans can be monsters, yes..."

[seleneserenade]

Leola's to do list:

Release some small fish into the moat for her otter to prey upon.

Tend to her brother's vegetable crops.

Inspect the keep's perimeter.

Daily strength training with the stones on the west side of the keep.

Have breakfast.

Purchase milk and eggs from the farm at the nearby village (Bolos won't keep animals on his keep besides Leola's otter.

Assassinate the Duke.

Report the Duke's assassination to the mercenary company in the capital city.

Fight her sister.

Lunch with the idol from her sister's world.

Meet with the American gods in the future to discuss her involvement with the resurgence of magic. Convince them that she didn't have anything to do with it if it turns out they hate it.

Bi-daily swimming workout with the otter.

Dinner.

"I keep telling my brother to use that land of his, but he insists on staying holed up in his tower, leaving the rest of the keep to crumble. At least the moat is kept well for my pet otter."

"Grimace shake!"

-5 seconds later-

"I am Talenel'Elin, Herald of War. The time of the Return, the Desolation, is near at hand. We must prepare. You will have forgotten much, following the destruction of the times past. Kalak will teach you to cast bronze, if you have forgotten this. We will Soulcast blocks of metal directly for you. I wish we could teach you steel, but casting is so much easier than forging, and you must have something we can produce quickly. Your stone tools will not serve against what is to come. Vedel can train your surgeons, and Jezrien... he will teach you leadership. So much is lost between Returns... I will train your soldiers. We should have time. Ishar keeps talking about a way to keep information from being lost following Desolations. And you have discovered something unexpected. We will use that. Surgebinders to act as guardians... Knights... The coming days will be difficult, but with training, humanity will survive. You must bring me to your leaders. The other Heralds should join us soon."

Amber just blinks for a moment. It was as if she saw a dog with the zoomies. Going a million miles an hour, like the speed of light. She was impressed, though, she does have to check if they did it all without the help of a Vision.“…You did that without a Vision right?”

Reina dips under for a brief moment, shooting out of the water as a burst of wind gave her just enough height to release her glider. She flew over, shaking her water as a wet dog would, brushing the messy silver strands back.

“Yeah! Except for the leap out of the water, everything was pure effort!” She beamed, bearing an energetic grin. “I grew up at a costal village, and there wasn’t a whole lot to do. I’d go playing in the water with the other kids after I did my chores.”

“Last one across the lake is a rotten egg!” You’d think Reina would have a hydro vision and not an anemo one, given the speed at which she glides through the water.

Pros of dating Leola

She looks good.

That’s it.

Cons of dating Leola

Your muscles will constantly writhe in agony. Her workout routines are unrelenting.

You will do all the cooking. Eating Leola’s handiwork is better than eating raw or poisoned food but that’s about it.

If she’s dating you, it’s highly likely she’s not happy with her current life, and will use you as an escape mechanism. When you become settled as a part of her current life, well...

Leola ideally works alone. She often leaves for weeks on her jobs. Unless you’re a highly specialized professional she needs for a specific mark, you’re going to be without her for ages.

It might be possible to help her out of her rut. Maybe someday she’ll be genuinely happy around you. Settle down and write her tales of infinite possibility. But you can do that as a platonic friend as well. And that would be ultimately a lot more healthy for both of you. 

People who have grudges against her will come after you. That’s what she’s training you for, after all.

sapphiresands​:

Sevren moved over to her, waving his hand as he allowed himself to catch his breath. He’s thankful to at least be away from the smell. With another deep gasp for air, he composed himself.

“Phew. I’m never the best at that. Escaping I can often do, it’s what follows that’s hard. I did not believe them to be so hostile now.”

He pat his chest a few times. At least they seemed to be in the clear; a glance into the distance didn’t show any figures.

“… Do not worry, they, by tradition, will not follow us any further. A saying in their tongue roughly translates to ‘allow the forest to reclaim it’s beasts’.”

“Since I am considered a monster by them, we should be okay now.”

Frowning a moment, he rubbed his cheek. Laying low until he can fully regain a human appearance was slightly annoying, but nothing he couldn’t handle.

“I would appreciate that. I don’t plan on leaving quite yet, but others will be quick to judge me now… Speaking of, you don’t seem too concerned.”

She truly wasn’t concerned. Arms over her head for a stretch before her hands rest behind her neck. “I’ve only been to that village once or twice. Not exactly the best place to stop, so burning bridges isn’t that big of a deal for me. Just another place to get a mug of watered-down ale and pass out.”

Her gaze followed the trial, the merc keeping an eye out despite her relaxed demeanor. It wouldn’t do to get lost or ambushed by something hungry. “If you’re not leaving, I take it you still have unfinished business there? I suppose it wouldn’t be impossible to return with a good enough disguise.”

Lowering her arms, she stopped for a moment to change directions. “Why don’t you tell me about it? We’ll be making a short detour anyway, there’s claw marks on some of these trees and I’d rather avoid intruding on some bears looking for a snack.”
