#[ verse ]...“undetermined”

Matthew was certain that Robert Crawley was not going to be happy.

Maybe he could get away with insisting on the fact that the man was of his--their--same class, that him having a job certainly didn't take away from that. Maybe he could do that, and maybe it would work, but even if it did, he did not imagine he would take too kindly to the fact that Matthew had invited a man to stay at his home without telling him. It may one day be his home, and not Robert's, but, well, it wasn't yet, was it?

But that was perfectly fine. He would take his heat, because he had been asked for a favor, to give board to a nephew, and Matthew would never deny a request, not if it was within his power to help.

So, as he heard the car approach, he went outside to meet it, smiling as he did, as the man exited the vehicle. "You must be Mycroft," he greeted pleasantly. "Welcome."

ragnar had been around royalty before... usually from a rooftop, right before slipping in with a contract and a price on someone’s belongings or head. but this time, his visit with royalty was different. karma had sent him to help a princess with a curse. a curse that, judging by the desperation in her letter, likely had more strings attached than a puppet show. royalty was a different breed, but curses... curses didn’t care who you were.

he knew of the princess based on the subtle messaging in the letter he had gotten from karma. he hoped she'd received his reply by now. ragnar traveled quicker than most, thanks to his wings. though today, they stayed hidden, concealed beneath the sigil he wore around his neck. he knew this wasn’t exactly valkyrie territory—especially not with the kind of reputation his kind had around these parts.

there was a night market in the streets, filled with the pool of people who lived in the kingdom. there were festivities occurring. bright. busy. loud. just want he wanted after traveling all day. lanterns cast down along the walkways as he tied up the black horse he'd rented.

the scent of spices and food filled the air. ragnar moved through the crowd at ease. following or trying to find any scent of food or a tavern to stay for the night. suddenly, he felt a slither of his hands. a curse, nearby. he paused, scanning the rows of stalls lit by lanterns. his hand instinctively brushed the sigil at his neck, ensuring it was still in place. his wings stayed hidden, but the curse had a life of its own. it always felt alive, twitching, alive with its own hunger.

and then, there she was. ragnar moved to the side of her, quiet as a mouse. by the way she was dressed, like she was trying to hide from the world, he could put two and two together. "didn't think princesses were allowed to leave their castles at this hour."

plague doctor dante verse summarization as i've understand it so far;

dante claims to be from another timeline; a disease had manifested upon this world, and it is up to them and them alone to be the one to rid them of this illness. from the kindness of their heart, they swore to save those who call to them before they get consumed by the impending plague. (copied directly from their present page) an aleph abnormality in the disguise of a zayin; playing around as a harmless being whom is seeking out those in need of saving. they have blessings to give and a heart so large that they can only wish to weep and free the damned of their sufferings. it is unknown how but they have been travelling between mirror worlds in search of those to save. though they consistently keep returning to one where three of their soon-to-be twelve exist.

this ties in heavily with

@ / seraphyms tears of tarnished blood au honglu

@ / livelaments wild hunt / erlking heathcliff

@ / saed [hi me] n corp sinclair

@ / gladiius vergilius

they are currently consistently aiding hong lu with being able to withstand his pain & being awake (specific to vegas own verse) and dropping off any of their soon-to-be missionaries in this specific mirror world as a momentary place of respite as they continually gather until they are twelve and able to transform into white night. note: i am open to having other sinner portrayals be added into the mix with an alternate identity variation of the self. right now, due to having 3 blessed; dante currently looks like this as their plague doctor form.

um some other minor established history details

previously was withheld in a mirror world where they were in containment by a mirror world variation of @ / livelaments vergilius. he was the only successful researcher to have ever work on them through the millennium they were trapped here yet ultimately, my assumption this had ended in tragedy. and ever since it's imprinted vergilius into their mind ( tldr; there is a vergilius in every mirror world that goes w/dante. this remains to be the case ) , vergilius will be their devil. the sacrifice.

dante hates this period of their time outside of the above.

they never transformed into whitenight-- simply fled the facility after the chance of escape came

@perpetualxfire sent: "Soooooooo, I've got some, news for you, once you're, settled with breakfast." Carolina was quick to plop down at the nearest seat, in sweats and a tank top herself, having dragged enough sand in with her to build a sandcastle judging by the soles of her bare feet.

"Is it that I have to sweep again?"

It was meant to be a joke, though he says it so flatly that Wash felt the need to give her a small smile just to be sure she knew he meant it as such. He picks at his eggs some more, feeling he might have overcooked them (at least to his liking). Chances were high he'd be settled with breakfast sooner rather than later.

All the better, he supposed. It would be a lie to say he wasn't vastly interested in whatever Carolina wanted to tell him. "What have you been doing all morning?"

Golden eyes remained fixed upon her as he awaited an answer, searching the ishkia's reaction for any indication as to what exactly was going on here.

Though she seemed to be just as flustered as he was, he couldn't help but wonder why. Was it due to the fact she worried if anyone else had heard her? Had she really been meaning to speak with his brother?

The paripus waited anxiously for her reply, his restless mind trying to rationalize why she would have asked him that.

Finally, Fidelio settled on an answer. The only one that would make sense. She'd never done this before, and was asking him? Clearly this must have been one of those Fool's Day pranks. He just wanted to know who put her up to it.

His eyes closed as he sighed, shaking his head. If it was a prank, he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of a reaction. And perhaps even be able to swing it into his favor.

❝Alright then. Fine.❞ Opening his eyes again, Fidelio looked into her eyes, arms crossing over his chest. ❝If tha's what you really want, go fer it.❞

"Awww come on, you're the only person I know here- you gotta let me stay with you till I can find my villain. Sides you can better keep an eye on me that way~!" Des would do a fake sexy pose.

Tsunade frowned at the kid; he had popped up at the village gates earlier today, saying he was looking for some villain. He didn't have a place to stay, but she sure as hell not going to stay with her. Especially since she didn't even know this kid.

"You can stay in the jounin dorm, like I originally told you..."

@darklordsofskaro (✬)

It is too familiar. It's more familiar than anything he's seen before, in all of his centuries. It's something that haunts him, waking life and dreams alike, on those rare occasions that he sleeps. He doesn't like to show fear, but he feels it, feels the beating of his hearts increase as he steps back, as he reaches for his sonic, as though it can protect him. "When will you learn," he asks, "that there will be no extermination?"

"Personally, nothing. But what we ourselves seek is irrelevant."

“ Wow, you sure do like speaking in theatricals, old man.” she chirps sweetly.

Toga swayed from side to side, just a brief motion as she debated her next move due to not particularly trusting him. She didn't trust him because she couldn't get a read on him which was not something she was used to, it made her hair slightly stand on end and the blood coursing through her body felt a little colder as if she were in the presence of a ghost ( or witnessing a rage quit ) ; it was tempting to stab him to see if he was merely an figment of her imagination but even she knew that it wasn't a good idea because of the fuckery that were quirks and knowing her luck it would probably be something stupidly powerful.

She inched closer, placing her hands behind her back with her guard up as she seemingly circled him in false interest when she was merely doing a discreet search to ensure he wasn't carrying a tangible weapon, leaning forwards a little to test him. “ Everyone wants something.” Toga adds on as she circled back around to face him with her golden hues shooting up from his body to meet his face, "Is this how you talk to everyone?"

@devildukem Liked The Go Rush Starter Call (Accepting!)

"Wait a moment...Are you saying that you created this game you are about to teach me, Otogi?!" You can just see the stars light up in his teal hues then, shining as bright as the celestial bodies that existed deep in the galaxy from which he cam from. "That is...That is so incredible! You are truly a genius gamer to be able to create such a thing! It is an honor to learn from you!"

[countarganan]

@eternallyserpentinebutterfly liked for a starter!

"Elise?" Arganan had been searching for her, and soon found her after some effort. A sigh left him after, before he made his way towards her, the familiar sound of his cane sometimes echoing as it hit the ground.

"There you are. I've been looking all over for you..."

@firejugglinghobo said: ' how do you know my name? '

↣ VARIOUS QUESTIONS

"It's my job."

He doesn't mean to be flippant, but that's the truth. It is his job. Knowing things, understanding them, that's what he does. Knowing someone's name is the least of them. He could get more specific, if the man wanted him to, but that's a long line of questioning and searching that was far less interesting in practice than it was in idea.

"Does that bother you?"

Ariel is unsure what to make of the land of Agrabah. There was so much heat and sand, it left the mermaid uncomfortable, even in this palace visiting Jasmine. Unlike herself, her friend takes her royal duties seriously. The redhead waits outside the door while Jasmine is in a meeting, feeling incredibly bored. A few minutes later, her brown eyes sees a bird flying down the hall. It had colorful red and indigo wings. Ariel stood up and tries to follow it.

Clara giggled as she held the tool in hand.

"What is it though!? What is itttt!?"

How could she NOT want to know what it was!? It looked cool, Hana was working on it, and when Hana was working on something that meant that it was probably something really cool!

@yearnstarved said: are they laughing at us? [from CLARA]

↣ THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE

He’s very busy, very distracted, and is very much drawing the attention of onlookers. Which isn’t his fault, really, and it’s not anything he’s really noticed, as he tries very hard to get what he’s sure is a kindhearted soul to allow him to just get past this door, please. He’s taken a step back to observe, to appear to accept his defeat. He isn’t going to, of course, but that doesn’t seem to stop a pair of onlookers from snickering at each other. It’s only something he notices once Clara mentions it, as she brings his attention to them. Youths, he’s sure. It’s always youths that laugh at him. He’s always thought children had some of the brightest minds in the universe, but they could also be very cruel.

“They do seem to be,” he answers, voice calm enough despite the flash of irritation that runs its way through him. Fine, let them laugh. He’ll save them anyway. He won’t enjoy it, but he’ll do it. “Nice to know some things don’t change, isn’t it?”

⤷ ✧ @cptnpike said, ❝ you really think I would try that? again? ❞

the better question in this moment, una thinks, is does he really need to ask? her lips part to offer a reminder that his record indicates that, yes, he would try precisely such a thing, but he stays that argument by adding that one, last, wry word. ❛ considering that you have to specify 'again'... ❜ as she often does, una lets the end of her sentence remain mere implication: having considered it a reasonable plan once, he had forfeited any right to indignation.

❛ I do not trust that you did, in fact, learn your lesson the last time. or that you would not decide to test whether I might, assuming you would not attempt something so ridiculous again, let my guard down. ❜ the latter possibility comes accompanied by the slightest mock-suspicious narrowing of her eyes.
