i hope everything gets easier soon. or at least funnier.

[steampoweredmuses]

by the way... i want to try to get stuff going here again, so consider this a starter/plotting call, you get the drill (like/reply to this post if you'd be interested in plotting out an interaction together!)

Chloe stares up at the other kid with stars in its beady little eyes, hands clasped together.

It knows that can't just be psychic abilities. It'd be able to see if that's what she was doing, not even factoring in how much strain trying to carry something like that would cause on a human mind. (It can hear something rattling around inside of the container.)

" Affirmative, " It speaks, its tone flat but the quickness of speech betraying its excitement, not to mention how it's practically bouncing in place. " How do you lift something with that much weight? It looks big, and heavy. "

"can you do that again? please?" [@steampoweredmuses chloe @ hat kid]

power / ability prompts. = accepting. // @steampoweredmuses

"uhh... you mean pick up the thingy again?" the clepsydra questions, staring at the other child with perplexity equal to the other's excitement.

it shouldn't be too difficult for another humanoid to pick up this thing, right? hattie reaches over to pick up the metal crate. it's large compared to her and definitely filled with something, but she hefts it above her head with one hand. hattie huffs a little, but manages to balance it.

"you mean like this?" she still looks confused, pointing at the crate with her free hand.

where did it go? it was right here five seconds ago.

did you hear that?

this place is cursed.

they say someone died in here.

i'm not staying here another second.

do you smell something?

who made that noise?

i don't believe in that stuff.

the light's not working.

my battery is dead.

we should split up.

it's too late!

you came back for me?

is that blood?

no way. i'm not doing this alone.

we need to stick together.

i don't want to die!

don't be such a scaredy cat.

where does this door lead?

come out, come out, wherever you are!

how did i let you drag me into this?

remind me never to come back.

that was quick thinking.

nothing's going to happen! trust me!

i can't believe you talked me into this.

you owe me big time.

they told me to stay away.

DIALOGUE PROMPTS

i've been meaning to show you this.

i didn't know you could do that.

what was it, then? radioactive spider? giant pit of toxic goo?

you're absolutely incredible.

what else can you do? will you show me?

but that... that's impossible.

what else do you want me to try?

that was pretty impressive. i'm not going to lie.

i'm not supposed to show anyone.

you're the only one i trust with this.

how long have you had these powers?

it takes some getting used to, but it's worth it.

i can't believe you just did that.

can you do that again? please?

no wonder you swept me off my feet.

stand back. this might get ugly.

you have to control your powers.

i can't let anyone else know about this.

i'll do anything in my power to protect you.

when did you figure out you could do that?

i've never seen anyone do that before.

that was... unexpected.

are you sure i didn't dream that?

there's a lot more i can do.

i'm still trying to master my powers.

there's a lot about my powers i don't understand yet.

i still don't understand how you did that.

let me show you what else i can do.

think you're impressed now, just watch.

no one's supposed to know about this.

if word gets out about this, i could be in trouble.

don't tell anyone what you saw, okay?

Which paranormal being are you?

The Shapeshifter - You would break yourself into a thousand pieces, shatter every bone, and pry off every inch of skin to be what you think others want. You’ve become so many different things over the years. At this point, you’ve been everything except at peace. You conform and change and adapt and desert entire pieces of yourself, but when will it be enough? When has it ever been enough for them, and when has it ever made you whole again? Speaking of, who are you anymore? Do you even know? How long has it been since you’ve recognized the face in the mirror. Are “you” still “you?”

"can you behave" yes, if I wanted to, but this is so much funnier

lady who picked up her laptop a minute ago gave me a little origami crow that was like a billion milligrams of dopamine directly into my brain

Send me hc + a word of your choosing and I’ll write a headcanon relating to that word!

Or send hc + two words and I’ll try and come up with one that links those two things together!

Hey !!! This is a question for the mun, i really wanna make a rp acc or two of my md ocs, amd i wanted to know if you had pointers and/or tips for newbies!

Im. Coming from the 95% toxic rp community on twt, and i dont really know where to start here.

OOC:// howdy, dude, and welcome to the community! i’d recommend looking through this post and all the links at the bottom of it for basic setup :] it should guide you through the basics

though, some of my personal advice:

always read rule pages. if there seemingly isn’t one, slip into the DMs to ask about where to find it. looking for your partners’ boundaries is very important!

read about pages and look through their headcanon tag. this is important for both canon and OC. portrayals heavily vary between people, and they may have a certain perspective or event that they retconned for their character.

if you aren’t sure about something, ask! slide into DMs or the inbox. communication is critical in any RPC, and unfortunately it doesn’t happen as often as it should. i bet pretty much nobody would mind providing clarification on a topic!

send in roleplay memes/prompts. it’s a quick and easy way to get interactions going and if it’s an ooc headcanon meme, you can get to know the mun’s thoughts too!

remember to have fun. don’t get caught up in the systematic process of “i have to do drafts before x” all the time. while it’s true that sometimes it’s good to get replies out first, everyone is here to have fun and relax. a majority of people are incredibly chill and don’t mind things taking long ( bless them, honestly ) since we all recognize we each have lives outside of this hobby!

that’s all i can think of right now. hope this helps, buddy!

“Don’t panic. With the proper tools, any of my limbs can be reattached!” to tinkerer <3

" Well, yes, I am sure that they can, but what I mean is... does that-- " Tinker Knight cuts himself off, letting out a deep sigh. No, it wouldn't hurt, would it? Fool. Absolute klutz. He's made robots before. He should know that much. " ...Well, eh, I'd guess that you do not have the receptors to properly process the pain that an injury like that would cause, would you? "

The question is rhetorical, but he's never seen a machine with a makeup like this before. It's beyond what he's made before, really, and a virtually seamless design. (Except for the extremely missing limbs, that is.) Its voice sounds so organic too. Not the synthesized voices that he's experimented with in the past, but something more than that; and those were regarded as impressive! Really, he would be quite in awe, if that wasn't currently overwritten by the panic seeping into his bones.

" I can't say that I have seen a machine like you in the past, but I can try to fix you up. " He adjusts his mask. " Do you mind if I bring you back to where I work? I am not sure if I would have the right tools on me, and I think it would be faster than if I went and then came back here. " Keeping it together. This is fine.

Hey newbie! How's it going?

[To sissel]

" Newbie? " Sissel's head whips around to look for the new voice that resounded through his mind-- his comically large head of hair trailing behind him, bouncing from the sudden motion-- but he fails to find the source. " (Where did that come from? I don't think that was Ray this time...) "

He coughs, clearing his throat. " I mean, yaknow, I've saved a few lives by now, been dead for a few hours 'n all, I dunno If I'd consider myself real "new" to all this by now. " He crosses his arms, turning his head to the other side. " Lynne's been dead for a lil less than I have-- like, if ya think about it collectively-- but she certainly isn't a stranger to the whole deal herself, either. But, eh, I suppose that's a lotta technicalities, huh? Not a real answer for ya, either. "

Sissel hums, setting a hand to his chin as he thinks on the question. How is it going? That's kind of a complex question. He is rather dead.

" I mean, all things considered, I guess it's been goin'... alright? Yaknow, if we're ignorin' the whole "bein' dead" thing. Pretty significant thing to be ignorin' there but, eh, I... think I'm gettin' somewhere. It's all real confusing, yaknow, and sometimes I wonder if I'm really just gettin' further from any actual answers... but that'd be crazy, right? I've just gotta keep going. I gotta get somewhere with all this eventually... "

" (I hope so, at least...) "
