The Windrose Arsenal
Artifact ••••: The Windrose Arsenal (Blue Jade Flying Fang Daggers)
The general and matriarch Tepet adopted several children after his house was raised up, among them a young yamabushi of the Eastern Rose school named Karst. Karst was a scout, spirit-speaker, explorer, and cartographer of great renown. The Blessed Isle had been shaken during the Thousand Tragedies period and the end of the world, so Tepet charged his new daughter to map the mountains at valleys at the heart of the world.
Karst's husband made the Windrose Arsenal to accompany her on her voyages. He magnetized blue jade from the mines in Lord's Crossing, to serve as a needle to always point her home. He dug meteor iron from beneath the Imperial Mountain so she would never lose her way. Karst's countless mapping journeys were a success, and her work is even today regarded as the canonical set of maps used by House Tepet; her tomb is a place of honor in Lord's Crossing, and the originals of her maps decorate the walls of the yamabushi halls.
The Windrose Arsenal is physically a necklace, very light and beautiful. When activated, the jewels of the necklace spark to life, and summon up an array of eight phantom-glass flying kunai. Each of the knives trails a unique color of light and explodes into a trigram on impact. Each of the knives is inscribed with the name of the wind from its direction. When summoned, the eight knives are always aligned to the eight directions.
The Arsenal gives absolute direction an attunement bonus and it may be used as an exceptional tool for creating maps and charts. The Evocations of the Arsenal relate to exploring, cartography, and manipulating the landscape. Just weeks before the Battle of Futile Blood, the Windrose Arsenal was paid by House Tepet as a husband-price to one of the other Great Houses; the boy's mother schemes endlessly as to how she can maneuver her way to regaining the Windrose Arsenal and putting it to use to rebuild Tepet's glory.

Morrowind: Miner Arobar, Councilor of House Redoran
Depicted here wearing his Redoran Master bonemold armor with Armun-An-styled pauldrons. The helmet from this elite armor set was stolen in 3E 427 by the Thieves Guild under the orders of Aengoth the Jeweler. Twas only because of entailed embarrassment of acknowledging the theft, the Arobars did not raze Rat in the Pot to the ground and plant Aengoth into a wood-elf-sized grave somewhere halfway to Bal Isra.
P.S: I think Arobars would rather commission a replacement piece. Bonemold, a rubber-base material, is not especially enduring - it would't raise suspicion to do so.

3e: Eberron is A World Of Locks
Hey, do you know the world of Eberron?
Eberron is, in my opinion, probably the best setting Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 ever had. This is partly because of what it presents as available, with its world-native Changelings and Warforged. Another part of it is that it was (at the time) a fresh world which wasn’t already filled edge to edge with Important NPCs you needed to recognise and respect and route around, which like it or not, is one of the predominant things about the Forgotten Realms that stands out in my memory. There’s a wealth of ways players can anchor themselves in that world, with its recent civil war, its dragonmarked houses, and its various discarded, collapsed empires. There’s a lot of stuff to interact with, a lot of means to have a place in that world.
In addition to all that though is an interesting addition to the world that may be a bit less obvious because of how it changed a 3.5 D&D skill in the context of the whole world, and made room for characters who were in a way, trickier.
That is, Disable Device.
If you’re not overly familiar with the way the skill system of 3e D&D, it was a point-based system where your class informed how many skill points you got each level, plus more for your intelligence and plus more for weird extra reasons. These skills then added to your ability scores as appropriate; to jump required Strength, to Hide required Dexterity, all that sort of thing. Sometimes you got advantages based on traits about your culture, like your size or your gross physical qualities, sometimes you had cultural background advantages. It’s like how Elves got a bonus to Listen, Search, and Spot, while Dwarves got a skill bonus to who cares, they’re dwarves.
The skill system was elaborate in a way that didn’t usually wind up producing necessary results. This is a structure that often gets referred to as fiddly. It was worth having 5 skill ranks in a skill you didn’t plan on using because of how it improved another skill, but also that didn’t necessarily matter most of the time, meaning there was a sort of budgetary exchange that once you got it, kind of just dangled there. It also had the weird effect where skills spread out across a bunch of things – being good at jumping, riding, and climbing were all different skills even though fundamentally, those were kinda the same thing and reasonably, being better at any of them would make you a bit better at all of them.
There were some skills that were fantastically specific, like decipher script (that could be used to uh, decipher scripts), or very broad like use magic device (which could fake all sorts of nonsense and work as a skill check for making almost any kind of spell available to the people with the skill). And in this space there was a skill that served to show how skills could be setting specific.
In conventional D&D, high fantasy worlds like Greyhawk, machinery was okay-but-not-worth-it. Disable Device largely lived as a sort of ‘pick locks’ skill, which was usually useful for disabling traps in a dungeon delving environment, or opening doors you didn’t have access to. These two applications steadily became less and less important as magical ways to open locks and close them show up starting as the players level up into the higher level material of level 3. At around that point, the capacity of Disable Device to meaningfully address a need of the party becomes somewhat token, as you can use Knock to bust magical and nonmagical doors and locks, and traps start becoming magical and therefore, best addressed with spells and spellcraft.
It’s a shame too because in terms of an actual skill, like ‘a thing people can do’ Disable Device is pretty cool. It indicates a skill and thoughtfulness that seems like it should be applicable to more things. Toolkits were sometimes connected to the skill, armour repair sometimes but the actual craft of being good with devices was orphaned for its impact in the world and its application to adventurers with a degree of experience.
Welcome to Eberron then, where everything is high magic, sure, but the magic is used to catapult past the industrial revolution. This is a look you may know as Magepunk (which I think is reasonable to use as a term for describing my own setting, Cobrin’Seil). In Eberron, there are trains. There are machines. There are devices that people use in their everyday life, and with that comes a more widespread vision of the applications of disable device.
Now, this isn’t to say that I’ve grabbed the entirety of the Eberron compendium and dug through it for every single time Disable Device is used for every kind of system or interface. But rather that I know, as a GM, in that world, when people are surrounded by trains and chains and industrialised components, and the creation at the scale that suddenly, you didn’t need to consider things like unique, individualised magical creations to keep things safe or secure or operate things.
This has an effect of turning most forms of leaders and threats, people who have spaces that players want to approach and interact with, suddenly don’t have to answer a kind of outsourcing question. If magic is what makes a place dangerous, the people who command dangerous places are going to trend towards being magical. Wizards are the ones who have menageries and laboratories and fancy alchemy stations and whatnot, and those are the things that sites tended to need.
Except if suddenly, locks and tools and machinery exist that mean that you can have a site-based challenge that cares about material components without necessarily everything being a bespoke magical construction, and that means that suddenly the boss that runs this place isn’t the wizard who makes it work, but instead the person who has the power, the means, and the access to construct that sort of space.
Disable Device becomes more useful as a game tool, but also, the world is a place that allows more people to have access to the status of being a kind of ‘boss monster’ character at the end of a character’s narrative. And that’s all through the transformation of the world-centering power of characters.
High fantasy, unconsciously or not, directs all the attention towards the wizard.
Which is a pretty sad trick.

D&D continued to return to the locations of classic adventures after the advent of 3E. Slavers came next, but I don’t have that one (and am not gonna, I don’t enjoy the Slave Lords modules enough to want to revisit them). Then came Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (2001).
If you recall from last year’s post on the original Temple of Elemental Evil, I don’t love it, basically. I like Hommlet and Nulb and the moathouse, but the temple itself, the elemental nodes, its function as both a prison for and hub of evil, it just doesn’t come together. So I should hate this, right? Nope! Monte Cook had a real talent for fiddling about with D&D as a body of canon lore and making things work. This book is no exception. Aside of the fact that it could stand to have 15-20% less combat encounters, I’d say it is pretty superior to the original in most ways!
Hommlet is still there, and the moat house. Lareth, too (though he is no longer bee-you-tee-ful). Nulb’s a ruin. So’s the temple, though there isn’t much there at the start. Instead, the second chapter leads to the Temple of All-Consumption and the cult of Tharizdun (thus tying things firmly to S4 and WG4). Only then does it become apparent what needs to be done to prevent the end of the world at the an excavation in the original Temple of Elemental Evil. It’s a good read and I expect it’s a good time to play through.
Brom’s on the cover. David Roach does good work inside — I believe this is one of the last D&D adventures with black and white interiors and honestly, that’s a tragedy.
And that’s it for returns, aside of the cyclical return to Castle Ravenloft. And, I guess, the bulk of the 5E campaign books. They’re always returning to familiar pastures.

Please write your thoughts about the importance of Shadowheart for Shar/Selûne :D
I FEED on character analysis.
SO!!!! This got long as fuck and also morphed into what you asked + a general character interpretation.
I relied on a combination of 2nd, 3rd, and 5th edition D&D lore, R.A. Salvatore novels, and of course BG3 as sources. Shadowheart's characterization adds up the most coherently on the purely romance / "get her away from Shar" path, and that is what I'm using as a basis for this post. Even when you're playing an "evil" route, she behaves in ways that betray a lot of what I get into under the break. This post, however, is biased towards the "good" path of her personal quest for the sake of my sanity and a somewhat reasonable word count.
First, a preamble for people that are maybe less knowledgeable about Forgotten Realms lore.
One of the biggest characterizations of Shar and Selûne in the Forgotten Realms is that they are twin sides of the same thing: night. Night as an aesthetic is symbolic of, among other things: mysteries, being lost without guidance (such as in faith or purpose), and finding oneself when one reaches for the truth. I.e., reaching light from the moon, stars, or daybreak (which is itself a symbol as the natural conclusion of darkness being light for redemption following suffering, goodness defeating evil, finding faith, etc.)
Shar and Selûne are sisters that also share the Night domain in 3e, a sort of fulcrum they both work around — Shar as the "malevolent" darkness with Selûne as the "benevolent" night. There is even a recognized heresy called the Dark Moon heresy in both cults/religions that Shar and Selûne are actually the same goddess playing one gigantic trick on Faerûn (this comes from a 3.5e splatbook called Power of Faerûn) but it's been pushed time and time again that the two sisters are, in fact, two separate entities. But duality of divinity, and how worshipers interpret their god, is a theme we see played up a ton in BG3.
What we know about Shar is that she despises her sister. Loathes her. Not only does she loathe her, she tricked Selûne's followers during the Time of Troubles, about 140 years before BG3, into worshiping her instead of the Moonmaiden. The Time of Troubles was a period when gods walked the Realms, rather than tossing avatars around everywhere. This lead to the formation of a fanatical group of cultists that followed the real Selûne, called the Lunatics (I'm still proud of managing to reference them in a goddamn Explicit PWP fic)
Meanwhile, Selûne is seen as a calming force. She wars with her sister every single night, and does not like her one bit, but she does it as a means to protect others from her sister rather than as a spiteful game. She's not as omnipresent in people's lives, she is just a natural force to a lot of her followers.
How does any of this relate to Shadowheart? Spoiler stuff and the actual character analysis under the break.
We know that Shadowheart was a "chosen" of Selûne as a child, per her parents' dialogue under the House of Grief. However, it's important to note that most religions in Faerûn name potential clerics as "chosen" ones of gods and goddesses.
We know that, throughout the game, Shadowheart learns that she is being manipulated by the Lady of Loss to do acts that go against some sort of internalized moral code that Shadowheart has. We see her approval go up when you do good acts (as long as you ask for compensation, or if it's to help helpless people/animals) and we see her disapprove when you press her boundaries or act unjustly cruel. "Unjust" is left so vague because she does not behave at all according to how the vast majority of Sharrans behave. There are numerous other flags for approval/disapproval such as her enjoying playful chaos, or disliking when you're too trusting of other companions when you first meet them, but we'll focus on the first set I mentioned.
We also know that Shadowheart was continually subjected to memory erasure via the cult of Shar in Baldur's Gate. This gets mildly restored here and there via the tadpoles and Dame Aylin, but her memory is mostly gone. So this moral code is something ingrained in her somehow, because Sharrans don't have kindness training. There's another entire character analysis to be written about Viconia's role in this as it relates to her own character in Baldur's Gate 2, but let's ignore that for now.
In the cloister under the House of Grief, there is a note you can find that outlines the squad sent to find the artifact that protects everyone from the Absolute's domination. The squad has a leader, and it is not Shadowheart. She is listed as "healer" and the text before this explicitly states that the entire squad is expendable. None of them matter to Shar.
BUT!
Divine visitation by a goddess is incredibly rare. It usually only happens to high level clerics, which Shadowheart isn't really even at 12th-level, and to those that the goddess has an extreme, vested interest in. If you free the Nightsong/Dame Aylin instead of killing her, Shadowheart is wrenched out of the Material Plane and made to suffer for an indeterminate amount of time. That, plus literally meeting Shar in the conclusion to her personal question, is very odd given what we know about Shadowheart.
If we presume that Larian did their jobs, and I'm going to because I trust them, then there is an immediate dilemma presented here. Either Shadowheart matters to Shar (she is not expendable), or she is just another zealot (she is expendable.) There is no half-truth in that logic table that really works for Shar, she's an absurdly dogmatic goddess. See: literally any Sharran you encounter in BG3 that isn't Shadowheart. It's possible that the writer of the note didn't know what they were talking about, but I think that's a lazy out that doesn't hold water with the rest of the evidence.
So, which is it? This being the part where I'm mostly in interpretation territory, Shar views Shadowheart as the perfect puppet, a toy to needle at her sister, not because she is important at all as a person, but because she's a representation of Selûne that Shar can mold to suit her image as she did in the Time of Troubles. We hear that in the game when Shadowheart basically says that she was just a thing for Shar to use. She's beaten into (what Shar believes will be) submission for not becoming a Dark Justiciar, but it only serves to sever the tie between cleric and goddess.
Shadowheart is Shar's answering play to Selûne beating that trick from the Time of Troubles, and there will be another Shadowheart after her eventual death. Shadowheart is both incredibly important and utterly worthless to Shar in the same way that an abuser uses affection and trust to hurt their victims. Love bombs in the form of divine power, sending her on this important mission, and offering the title of Dark Justiciar are followed by pain when Shadowheart displeases her. As if, on a whim, all that supposed mutual respect could turn into non-consensual, extreme violence.
Shadowheart is an objectified opportunity for Shar to fuck with Selûne for the entirety of a single half-elf's lifespan (anywhere from 150-200 years) and nothing more. A plaything to discard when all is said and done after a microcosm of time where a goddess is concerned. Whatever Shadowheart thinks she's benefiting from with Shar, it's all a trick. It's a massive delusion with which she's been brainwashed into participating.
And deep down, deep deep way deep down, Shadowheart knows this even in Act One. She spouts random sayings and the sorts of 2edgy4me one-liners that you would expect from a somewhat goth-y, slightly sassy Stock Evil Cleric in a fantasy RPG. For a good portion of Act One, you wouldn't be wrong to assume she's extremely one note and a total zealot. That is, unless you know two things:
That Shar is a fucking menace in Faerûn, and nothing good ever comes naturally from her cult. Anyone that knows FR lore was probably like me when they first interacted with Shadowheart. I know I basically said, "What the fuck, you're not a Sharran lmao. Either Larian goofed hard, or something's fishy here."
That extraordinarily devout people tend not to babble in verse, prayer, and all that unless they are also trying to convince themselves to have more faith in a set of beliefs that they're not entirely sold on. This isn't 100% of the time, but it's something you see in people whose faith is not very strong. People who have ironclad faiths and hold consistent ideologies tend to rely more on personal interpretation of faith, for good or ill. You see this all over BG3 in the people that are more confident in their beliefs, as well. Isobel, Orin, and Z'rell are three wildly different angles on that, for example. It's really all over the game in the NPCs.
That second point is the more important one here. Shadowheart, in Act One, is constantly talking about her goddess. If she's not hiding the artifact from you, she's couching an event in concern over what Shar would think of how she behaved. Like she's still a scared child who doesn't know how to handle what's happening around her despite being completely capable in scenarios as hectic as melee combat with ogres. The difference shines bright as day if you play a follower of Selûne and push back on her beliefs, though you do of course get a lot of vitriol in the beginning. Even so, it's clear that Shadowheart knows something is off about Shar whenever confronted with actual Sharran activity/belief, but she's been brainwashed and abused so horrendously that she constantly tries to "correct" herself to appease her abuser.
Selûne, however, isn't really a "part" of Shadowheart's quest in the same way as Shar. The Moonmaiden is not an active participant, she is not a guiding hand or even a faint idea in Shadowheart's thought processes because of how intense the memory blending got for her. The most we ever really get of Selûne's opinion comes from external sources (pretty much entirely from Shadowheart's parents, Isobel, and Aylin when she's not PROCLAIMING DIVINE RIGHTS.) To the Moonmaiden, Shadowheart is really just another of her many, many children spread throughout the Realms. Yet, Shadowheart retains that sense of inherent goodness that Selûne instils in her followers.
Unlike the Lady of Loss, Selûne's indifference isn't hateful or spiteful at all. For Selûne, the ultimate goal of any of her followers is to find themselves. To illuminate who they are meant to be by moonlight. Two of her domains in 3rd edition are Protection and Travel, and in 5e she has Knowledge as well, while one of her "mantles" (the domain equivalent for psionics) is Freedom. She wants to give her followers the ability to freely tread whichever road will lead to self-actualization.
Selûne demands almost nothing of her own followers so long as they act according to the basic tenets of a traditionally Chaotic Good deity. She accepts flaws, faults, and failures in her clerics as much as she rewards strengths, virtues, and victories. There is no divine intervention from Selûne because she accepts Shadowheart intrinsically as long as Shadowheart finds herself. All it took for Selûne to take Shadowheart back after forty years of being a fanatical Sharran was saving one person, and trusting one of two people that we know she's let in for that forty years (the PC, as well as possibly Nocturne) — Selûne sees that she's an abuse victim at the heart of it all.
Side-note: Selûne's primary holy symbol is two eyes surrounded by stars. She is always a passive witness to her clerics' deeds. I don't think I need to get into that symbolism.
Whenever given the chance, Shadowheart values freedom incredibly highly. Even in someone she can take the entire game to warm up to, such as Lae'zel. Her dialogue after Lae'zel denounces Vlaakith speaks directly to this. It's seen repeatedly in her comments on other characters' personal quests such as Astarion, or Karlach, and with Lorroakan's intent on imprisoning Aylin in Act 3.
Once Shadowheart is pulled away from Shar's influence in the end of Act 2/early Act 3, she is... not a completely different person, but she is absolutely a calmer individual that also allows her emotions to surface more intensely. If you're romancing her by Act 2, she confesses that she wants to be with the PC (forever) IMMEDIATELY after being punished horrifically by Shar; she progresses the romance far faster once Shar is out of her brain; she cries, alone, in front of the PC if she chooses to listen to her parents and spare herself from Shar while also killing them. She's known this entire time that she's purposefully holding parts of herself back, and this is her immediate reaction to being set free.
Of course, it's a video game and things aren't always perfectly paced, especially considering the implementation of the Long Rest system. Much of this interpretation requires you to accept that.
After the small dialogue about Shar's intervention after the Gauntlet, the narrator comments that you're not sure if telling Shadowheart where her divine power now comes from will break her spirit forever. That's interesting, and it makes her almost manic change to "I have to be with this person forever" in the romance so utterly sad. Shadowheart is an almost textbook depiction of someone who struggles immensely with vulnerability and emotional openness due to childhood neglect and abuse. Even worse, she's been suffering that neglect and abuse for forty-plus years and she cannot remember what life was like before the time when she constantly yearned for the approval of her abuser. When she's set free and given the appropriate space to manage her feelings (all of the times she asks to be given space/asks the PC to respect her boundaries), support from friends and loved ones in the way Larian handled the camp crew's reactions to everyone's personal quests, and a purpose in life that extends beyond her abuser, she flourishes almost immediately.
To Selûne, Shadowheart is simply another person finding themselves in a world that's incredibly difficult to navigate. Under Shar's domination, Shadowheart will never be anything more than a useful puppet that dances happily whenever her goddess asks, pleased to be what she thinks is useful as she wears the false title of Dark Justiciar. With Selûne watching but not pushing, Shadowheart can be free of everything but her own choices, her own mistakes and victories. Her own person, freed from expectation.
P.S. "Breaking out of toxic thought patterns" is a common thread in the companion romances and quests. In a similar way to how Astarion uses sexuality to mask a part of himself in his romance, Shadowheart sees all this time she's spent holding herself back as an excuse to reverse course and accelerate ridiculously fast by comparison.
My point is, she is a U-Haul Lesbian.

Wanna add some more context to reverse!au for better understanding
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Added more sickness to his face cus I still like trickstarbrave's art teehee)
Basically all canon events till "foul murder" is...canon. It wasn't his will to become a god, but Nerevar's mind got corrupted in some ways because of heart of lorkhan, so he ready to use god powers to reach his goals. His ways to deal with tribunal are much more sinister, so he as well as madman.
Somehow even Almsivi thinks that it was Dagoth Ur who has got awakened (very tough awakening though). Nerevar using this legend as profit. Everyone seems to believe that Nerevarine prophecy is true, even ashlanders. Wonder how he deceived them.
If Dagoth Ur using the magic to fight, Mora Ind using his strength. Don't be fooled by his exhausting look, this man is able to cut a massive rock with trueflame in the first try as well as crush your head with one hand.
He is using the magic, still. Prostetics looks advanced, but has bad mobility, plus constant pain, so, he learnt how to levitate and use it effectively in the attacks. Also, Nerevar somehow developed resistance to magic, and its not easy to beat him only with the spells.
His god voice echoes, but can change depending on mood. Main difference that in moments of anger it echoing in higher tone, almost cutting the ears.
Mora Ind has his own followers, despite having sixth house as source to threaten people. He is not fully controlling them though. Despite being blind and using raw magic, Nerevar is able to "see" through eyes on his hands, and through his followers. This is part of the deal: they're serve him with no hesitation, him is protecting them from corprus (except sixth house sleepers), saving their will, but has right to take control whenever he wants. And he has much more influence on dissident priests. But only few loyal knows who is truly sitting in the red mountain.
Tumblr media
Godryn is quite weak, despite being tall, so he is highly counting on his charisma, magic abilities and alchemy skills. He is suffering from rosacea, migraines and epilepsy, thought last one comes from migraines and happens in the moments of high stress, and has uncontrollable and incurable magic origin. Blessing and a curse in the same time.
This man loves to be good looking and morning routines are his best friends. Only when being alone, he allows himself to look sloppy.
He is not a Nerevarine. How do you think he'll become one if Nerevar is alive? But Godryn surely gonna doubt tribunal much and make his own investigation because of curiosity. Will meet Almsivi eventually.
Anarenen gonna have main part in his story and will become some kind of love interest before meeting Nerevar? Anyways, they both slay queens in boring Ald'ruhn with dumbass Redoran around.
He gonna be suspicious and paranoid in the first chapters. Godryn is not a reckless one, and tryin to make decisions with thinking twice.
Godryn is 24 years old and born in 3E 403. He is an adult, but very unexpirience in live, so, there are gonna be some dumb choices. Recognising himself as Voryn will help in some ways, but dunmer is not gonna BE Voryn. He doesnt wanna be "someone" except himself. He tired of that.

So I thought I'd make a post of my skyrim oc since I've been inspired by my friends and some blogs on here to post her so here goes
This is Aniela Drelas, my beloved dunmer lass!
She's from Morrowind! Born in 3E 417 so she's about 217 yrs old at the start of Skyrim. She lost most of her immediate family during the Oblivion Crisis when daedra attacked her town on the mainland, so she doesn't have many loved ones still around. The Red Year made this issue worse, but despite her losses she stayed behind and helped the rescue efforts for a time until she departed for Skyrim. She's a member of House Redoran, but doesn't keep much contact with other members as often as she used to.
Sorry for the wall of text slfkfkgn it's 5 am and I'm sleepily posting this cuz I really wanted to share her! I might occasionally post more of her later on with more tidbits about her :)

As Master Joe Wishes - Track 04
Seasonal Team Event - L4mps
Tumblr media
My parts are coming up! Thank you TLWard for letting me work with you!
Tumblr media
Location:  HAMA House - Lesson Room
Tumblr media
Ryui: (I don’t give a shit if that damn bear is getting targeted. I don’t, but…) 
(Whatever Toi wants is what I want. I’ll grant any of his wishes, even if I have to go through hell and back for it…!)
Tumblr media
Sakujiro: Ryui-san, you’re not bowing low enough! The most respectful bow is at a precise 45 degree angle, you must bend until you can see your feet clearly! 
Ryui: Ugh… 
Sakujiro: Keep going! 56, 57… 
Netaro: I can’t do this anymooore~
Tumblr media
Toi: Me neither~
Tumblr media
Nagi:  My lower back is already waving a white flag because Ryui won’t recite the commandments…. 
Ryui: Aaaaaahhh!! Fuck!! 
Sakujiro: Oh dear… I suppose I can offer you a short respite from your little “bowing” punishment. 
Nagi: Oof… 
Chief: I see now… So that’s why Sakujiro-san is giving you special training on servitude? 
Toi: I have a feeling this is gonna lead up to a dramatic and heartfelt scenario!
Netaro: Perhaps the Suspension Bridge effect will give birth to many many new couples! 
Tumblr media
Netaro and Toi: Ooh~~~~! 
Tumblr media
Nagi: Chief, this might get dangerous, so it’s best if you don’t get involved. This kinda work that involves the 3Es is better suited for someone like me… 
Yodaka: I believe they were, “𝓔mbrace without” looking out of place, “𝓔xposure to danger is OK”, and “𝓔asily counted on.”
Chief: Oh… To be honest, I’m extremely worried about you guys, but unfortunately, Kafka called me in earlier… I’ll need to leave for an overseas business trip tomorrow. 
Ryui: (He probably figured this was gonna be a dangerous job… I’d do the same if I could.)
Yodaka: Not only do we have the police, we even have Danny, the brawn of HAMA Tours, on our side. I’m sure it will be fine.
Tumblr media
Daniel: You can bet I’m gonna apply for that worker’s insurance and paid leave after this.
Ryui: —There’s something I just don’t get.
Ryui: We were only asked to escort her, I don’t see why we gotta dress up as maids or butlers and blend in as the manor’s staff. 
Sakujiro: I must disagree.
Ryui: … Go on.
Sakujiro: It would be quite unnatural to have multiple unknown faces wandering about the manor out of the blue. 
Nagi: Um, then why can’t we act as security guards instead?
Sakujiro: We must not give away that Joe-sama is the treasure. Introducing security into the picture would only bring unwanted attention.
Tumblr media
Netaro: Indeed… Having guards around would only rouse suspicion. 
Ryui: Tch… 
Sakujiro: I’m certain you understand the necessity of your roles. Now then, let us take a short recess. We shall continue your punishment from the 58th bow.
~~~
Sakujiro: I apologize for disturbing you all during your break time, but I have something that requires your attention.
Nagi: ? Sakujiro-san, you look pretty excited?
Sakujiro: Fufufu… Was I perhaps too obvious? Please, take a look at these.
Tumblr media
Toi: Wow…! It’s a sketch of butler and maid uniforms! 
Sakujiro: The moment I heard that you would all be working at a manor for your next assignment, inspiration welled up within me. Should you find these designs acceptable, it would be an honor to sew them up for you. 
Yodaka: These iterations honor the classic designs of old. I think they’re splendid.
Toi: But, I’m a maid? Not a butler?
Sakujiro: I believe being a maid would suit you better.
Ryui: You got that right. But… The hell you putting me and Hachinoya in dresses for too…? 
Sakujiro: I believe being a maid would suit you better.
Netaro: Lookie!! Daa’s gonna be a maid too!
Tumblr media
Nagi: Woah, I feel like that’s gonna show up in my dreams, somehow.
Daniel: Whatever… I’d rather wear a maid dress than have to bow down one more time… 
Ryui: An old man like you should know how to stand your fucking ground! There’s no way in HELL I’m wearing a dress! I’d rather bite my tongue and let it fucking bleed out!
Toi: Ah, if Ani-sama is biting his tongue off then I will too…!
Netaro: Count me in~
Nagi: That’s a lot of “Tongue-cut Sparrows”… *
Yodaka: With this response… I’m sorry to say, but we should probably shelve that idea… 
Tumblr media
Sakujiro: Understood… Boohoo… 
~~~
Sakujiro: Good work, everyone. Please keep in mind what you learned today. I expect you to become the absolute most perfect servants.
Location: HAMA House 2nd floor
Tumblr media
Ryui: (Ugh… My back’s stiff as a board…) 
Sakujiro: Ryui-san, a moment, please.
Ryui: What? I ain’t doing any more bows.
Sakujiro: No, I didn’t stop you for such a reason… I have something I need to share about Joe-sama.
Sakujiro: As I recall, Joe-sama was actually a present that the late madam Brunhild had received from her father at a tender age. 
Sakujiro: She must have been treasured greatly as a close companion.
Ryui: …..
Sakujiro: When a person senses that they are not being valued, that is when they experience true anger. The duty of a servant is to find the true meaning hidden within their master’s demands, and act accordingly.
Ryui: And? What’s your point?
Sakujiro: Please keep in mind that if you perform insincerely, the other person will know.
Ryui: Yeah yeah, thanks for the warning, or whatever. 
Sakujiro: ….. 
~~~
Location: Manor - Large Parlor
Tumblr media
Hiramei: Good morning everyone! We’re counting on you all for this mission! 
Hiramei: Please try to act natural! Samejima-san and I will be checking in on you guys every once in a while!
Ryui: ( –Is what that guy said, but… )
Location:  Manor - Bedroom
Ryui: What was next again, making the bed? How’s it even getting messed up when there’s only a plushie in here… 
Ryui: –The fuck! The heck you loungin’ around for, old man?
Tumblr media
Daniel: My back… it hurts… It’s as stiff as a board… Give me a break already… 
Ryui: That’s what you said last time when you were lazin’ about on the sofa! For fuck’s sake, you’re a lost cause—
*loud tumbling noises*
Ryui: … Who messed up this time… 
Location: Manor - Large Parlor
Tumblr media
Joe: My goodness! What in the world happened for the room to get to this state!
Toi: Wha- The laundry room and corridor are totally covered in foam...!
Tumblr media
Nagi: I’m sorry… It’s my first time using a washing machine like this, so I put in a random amount of detergent and clicked some random buttons, and this is how it ended up… 
Ryui: Ah… Hachinoya’s technology impairment rears its ugly head… 
Yodaka: Joe-sama, pardon us. We’ll clean this up right away, so please overlook this. Nagi, could you bring in the cleaning supplies?
Nagi: Joe-sama…I apologize for my carelessness… 
Tumblr media
*loud tumbling noises*
Joe: W-What in the world is it this time!?
Location: Manor
Tumblr media
Netaro: Hmm. I thought I could grow some fresh veggies for dinner, but I seem to have injected a cell-positive agent instead of a growth promotant… 
Tomato Monster: GRRR—!
Toi: Wah! There’s a cluster of man-eating tomatoes with fangs surrounding us!
Joe: The manner in which they gnash their sharp fangs is giving me a fright! I-I fear for my life!
Yodaka: Pardon us, we will promptly harvest them. Netaro, please bring a shovel and a trowel.
Tumblr media
Netaro: Roger that! Joe-sama, sorry about this!
Ryui: (Damn, can’t believe Natsume could clean up this mess so fast… Glad we have him around.)
Ryui: By the way, why’s Joe been on Toi’s back this entire time? You’ve even got him using a baby sling… 
Toi: Hehe, I’m Joe’s nanny right now! Joe-sama, are you comfortable on my back?
Tumblr media
Joe: As expected of my “nursemaid.” I am feeling quite comfortable indeed!
Toi: Ehehe~ I’m glad to hear that.
Ryui: (Well, it’s all good if Toi’s happy with it.)
Ryui: Joe, you better not work Toi too hard, got it?
Joe: …..
Joe: My, whyever could it be that you are the only one to show me such disrespect… 
Note:
Nagi is referring to an old Japanese fable "Shita-kiri Suzume" or "The Sparrow with the Slit Tongue"

OC Fridays you say? @the-elder-polls Hello! Naturally that means I'm going to take some time to gush about Josh...because whilst he shares a name, vocation and sarcasm as the NPC found in Dragonborn, he's pretty much his own thing at this point. Teldryn Ensirhaddon-Sero is a Dunmer- naturally, though he is half Ashlander ( Erabenimsun) on his father's side whilst his mother grew up in Redoran lands though her family did not answer to a Great House until moving to Hlaalu lands in the late forth era. Not long after he was conceived his parents fled to Cyrodiil, where he spent the first four years of his life before his mother returned to Blacklight once his father disappeared on a smuggling job. (Born 3E 370- 57 at the start of Morrowind, 268 by the start of the Dragon Crisis). He was well educated, and speaks four languages- Dunmeris, Cyrodiilic, Aldmeris and modern Altmeris. He picks up Ashland and a secret fifth thing later on. He ends up getting mixed up in the Camonna Tong which is how he ends up in Cyrodiil where he is subsequently arrested (murder, arson, treason, more arson). He spends the next 33 years being moved about various prisons and work camps in the Heartland until he is deported back to Vvardenfell and given a strange package.
Josh does not believe that he's the Nerevarine- not in any meaningful sense. What he does think he is, is an Imperial puppet. Yes he technically fulfils the prophecy but there were tweaks made to his official records so that he could "fit it more". Namely in how he was stricken from his mother's family records upon their ascension to House Hlaalu. Yes he fits but he wonders if the destruction of his homeland was a part of the Emperor's plan. He knows for certain that he is not the reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar. What he is, is a descendent of the war lord who ended up being a good host once he slipped on that ring and it didn't give him a big enough aneurysm. Deep down, he thinks anyone could have done the job. He was just convenient. Teldryn drinks- a lot and the habit has gotten worse as he's gotten older. He'll go through stints of sobriety (usually when mourning) and ends them in even longer binges. He developed a taste for skooma when he was on one of those binges and has been trying to avoid the stuff ever since. He ends up getting hooked on Sleeping Tree Sap during the Dragon Crisis and the whole thing gets worse once Sydari (my Dragonborn) gets lost in Sovngarde. He's a pain in the ass. Some Art Some early Josh (3E 427)
Tumblr media
Some post Corprus infection Josh (3E 428-29)
Tumblr media
And jumping to pre Dragon-Crisis Josh - 4E 199.

"You sure you don't want another hit, pretty?" Denki turned his head to ask you as he held the lit blunt, which was quickly becoming a roach, between his long fingers.
Hitoshi, who was sitting to your left, made a small sound of amusement.
"I think she's had enough. Just look at her fucking face."
You're Denki's new neighbor, having just moved down the hall into apartment 3E. After finally securing a day off from work, he decided to do the neighborly thing and invite you over. To get to know you better.
He met you as he was preparing to leave for work one morning.
You looked so lost and gullible, easy prey for him, but if he hadn't have left then, Katsuki would have most certainly put his ass on bathroom duty for being late. 
He'd have to put his quest of getting to know you on the back burner until he had more time.
And now, the day has finally come.
He wasn't very impressed when Hitoshi insisted on coming over the same day to 'work on some maintenance issues'.
Hitoshi is a bastard, a smooth bastard, that always seems to be in competition with him when it comes to nagging hot, unsuspecting chicks and taking them home, filling them up with weed, alcohol, and dick, then giving them the boot.
They even have a scoreboard, and Denki is currently just one point behind Hitoshi right now. Just one measly point.
And Denki planned to use little ole, naive you to even the score.
"What even is in that shit? It smells horrible." The violet-haired man waved his hand in front of his face to waft the weed smoke away from his "delicate" nose.
"You know, I've never seen someone who smokes cigarettes be so sensitive about a little weed. Pussy."
"Pussy? Oh, so now we're name-calling then? If I'm such a pussy, then how come I'm ahead of you right now on the board?"
He pointed a long, black-polished fingertip at the board situated across the room in plain sight. 
The girls that Denki brought back here either had to be dumb, lonely, desperate, or a sad mixture of all three. Not to mention the ones with daddy issues.
“Because you use fake status and promises of discounted rent to get pussy, while I, on the other hand, use my charm and good looks. Not to mention I actually know how to fuck.” Denki smirked and crossed his long arms over his chest.
Hitoshi just snorted and Denki knew that he had won that argument.
A soft moan and a feminine hand on his jean-clad thigh made Denki jump in surprise.
"Shit, I almost forgot you were here, baby girl. Scared the fuck out of me." Denki cooed at you and then snickered.
A steaming hot box of pizza was open on the small coffee table in front of you, along with opened cans of beer and soda.
"You still didn't answer my question, pisshead. What is in that weed and why does it stink so fucking badly?" 
Denki leaned forward to grab a slice of pizza out of the box: Hawaiian-style pizza.
"It's called Pineapple Express." 
 "Oh you just fucking made that up."
"I swear I didn't, but okay." Denki reached across your lap to ash the roach. Your small hand shakily reached out, grabbed his wrist, and rubbed it all the way down to the crease of his elbow, meeting the flannel of his rolled-up shirt.
“What’s wrong, baby? Are you tired?” Denki asked you in a thick, honey-laden voice.
What he doesn't know, though, is that he's given you a dangerous mixture. 
A toxin that would soon have you spouting fairytales and complete nonsense.
You looked up at the zig-zag blonde confused, as if you were really seeing him for the first time. 
"Wait, where am I? W-what…what year is it?"
Shinsou raised an eyebrow and shot Denki a concerned look. 
"You're in my apartment, babe, and the year is 2023." Denki answered without missing a beat.
You were clutching his arm now in a panicked state.
"N-no, that can't be right. The last thing that I remember was walking home and then there was this bright, green light and…"
Both males leaned into you mechanically, them wanting to give you their full attention as well as them being eager to hear what you have to say.
"It was like a fire in the sky; at first it was merely a spark against the soot of the night, when all of a sudden, it was surrounding me, a blazing hot inferno, as if I had stepped onto the Sun's surface." You explained with a shakiness to your voice.
"If you even attempted to touch the Sun, you'd vaporize before you could even reach the surface." Shinsou retorted smartly.
Denki seemed perturbed by the story that you're currently spouting, but he also couldn't deny that it had sparked his interest. 
"Leave it to Denki to bring home a crazy bitch and try to fuck…" Shinsou mumbled and reached into his jeans pocket for a Marlboro Menthol Black cigarette.
Said blonde swatted at Shinsou, a silent message for the lavender-haired man to shut the fuck up lest he scare away the barista's latest conquest.
"Hmm, what are you babbling about, sugar tits? There's no such thing as aliens and time travelers." He chuckled gleefully and cradled you closer to him.
How cute and funny you are.
His dick began to stir in his jeans from having you lie against him like this. Your tits spilled over the neckline of your top and brushed his chest.
Shinsou rolled his periwinkle eyes as he continued to smoke his cigarette and watch the wispy smoke curl up into the air. The minty, smoky odor mixed with the fruity one of Denki’s weed.
Those eyes then moved to the floor where your open purse was sitting by his feet. Inside, he could see a couple of pill bottles peeking out.
While you were busy whining to Denki about how you’d supposedly been abducted by aliens in your past life, Shinsou leaned down and scooped the three bottles up to read their white labels.
‘Haloperidol, chlorpromazine, and trifluoperazine. Antipsychotics?’
He rolled the bottles over in his hand then shot another look over to Denki, who seemed to have forgotten that Shinsou was even there.
The blonde's nimble fingers splayed across your back while his other hand rubbed up and down your shoulder.
Your breathing quickened and Denki took that as your arousal coming out, but your chest was constricting; you felt like you might be having a panic attack.
Shinsou stood up off the couch and moved Denki's hand off of your shoulder. Honey snapped up to meet periwinkle.
"What the fuck, dude?" 
The pill bottles shook in his face, making Denki squint as he tried to read the small black writing.
"What is this?"
"Antipsychotic medication! This chick is seriously screwed up! You shouldn't have given her that weed; it's likely the only reason she's falling all over you right now!"
Denki scoffed and rolled his eyes. In his mind, Shinsou is just envious that Denki got to you first, and the lavender-haired man was afraid for Denki to take the lead over him.
"Now when it's my chance to finally get ahead, you want to be a man of morals? Spare me the bullshit, please."
"Forget about the fucking board for a minute! You-"
Denki swiped the bottles out of Shinsou's hand and brought them in front of your face. His free hand moved from your back to your belly and down into the waistband of your skirt.
"Did you remember to take your medicine today, huh, pretty?" He asked with a teasing lilt in his voice. This revelation doesn't change anything for him; he's still hard and still wants to fuck you.
Your eyes refocus on him, only slightly, and you give a faraway nod.
"I did…I think.." 
He leaned forward to set the pill bottles on the coffee table. "Good girl…" He purred like a fat cat with a bowl full of fresh tuna.
Denki grabbed your exposed thigh and used it to pull your leg across his waist. Shinsou didn't miss how your cunt gripped the chartreuse lace of your panties as Denki exposed you to his sunken eyes. He bit his lip.
"You're really going to fuck her while she's like this?" His voice was thick with apprehension. 
Denki didn't falter; he even smirked.
"Sure am...not like I haven't done it before. You got a problem, you can leave. There's the door." He nodded his head behind him to the metal door that leads into the hallway.
Shinsou's jaw clenched; his pride wouldn't let him be outdone by a dumbass like Denki. Not by a long shot. 
Shinsou had to think of a plan and think of one fast before Denki would have your spaced-out ass bouncing on his dick in this very living room. 
"Hey…I've got an idea. If she claims she was abducted by aliens, I'll hypnotize her. That way, we'll know if she's really telling the truth or if she's just a nut."
Denki laughed at the double entendre. "She is just a nut, but I'm interested now. Do you really know how to hypnotize someone?" He asked, looking at Shinsou while standing up from the couch.
"Of course, I'm a licensed hypnotist." Shinsou lied, trying to save face. 
Denki positioned you in a supine position and crossed your arms over your chest.
"I'm going to hypnotize her, not put her in a fucking tomb." Shinsou rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, whatever. Just do it, before I get bored. Also, if you think you're going to trick me into giving her up, you've got another thing coming." Denki snapped.
His tone grew darker, possessive. He settled his long limbs onto the coffee table and pushed the cans and pizza boxes off to the side.
"Shut the fuck up." Shinsou mumbled. He walked over to the arm of the couch where your head is situated and stood over you.
Smoke-scented fingers caressed your cheek and jaw. You looked up into Shinsou's eyes and they turned dark like cold, jagged amethysts.
"I need you to relax for me, kitten. Breathe slow and easy, don't force them out. Just let them come slow and easy, just like that. Good girl." 
His hand moved to stroke your hair and your squinted eyes shut completely.
"Keep breathing and slowly begin to count backwards from fifty. Come on, do it for me, baby. I know you can." 
Denki's golden eyes watched with intent and arousal; watching you submit to Shinsou's whim so easily was making him even harder than he was previously.
"50…49…48…47…46…"
Your arms slumped by your sides as you drifted off. 
—--
1976
—--
The crickets' songs were melodious in your ears as you walked through your darkened college campus to get back to your dormitory.
The women's dorms were situated far from the main campus and the only way to get there was through a thick, wooded area.
"Silly me for not watching the time and ending up kicked out on my ass at 8pm at night. So not groovy." You chuckled.
Your platform sandals thumped against the ground, the material of your flared pants swishing over them with every calculated step that you took.
It was a bit of a chilly night, not unusual for your hometown, but tonight oddly seemed much colder.
The breeze ruffled your clothes and you looked up into the obsidian night sky. The moon was high and the stars swirled behind the dark gray clouds like a vortex, waiting to swallow up the wispy bits of condensation. 
"How beautiful…"
Suddenly, one of those stars began growing larger and larger. It seemed to be moving towards the Earth; a comet maybe?
No.
It's much bigger and much wider than a comet would be and it's…spinning.
Hot.
The heat was all around you at once and you were trapped. A mechanical whirring sound reverberated in your ears and drummed against your brain. 
Bright, green light emanated from the flying disk as it landed amongst the trees, crushing many of them under its massive weight. 
The sound of multiple tree trunks cracking and bending under it sounded like multiple whips cracking against flesh and the sound made you wince. You dropped your books and covered your ears. 
"What…this can't be happening right now…"
You whispered softly and clenched your eyes shut. The biting cold was now no match for the heat that had engulfed your entire being. 
You fainted.
—--
We are not the same. I am a Martian..
We are not the same. I am a Martian..

You awoke sometime later in a cold room with steel walls.
"What happened to me..I..what the hell?"
You tried to move your arms, but they were strapped down on either side of your head with thick leather straps.
"What the fuck?! Let me go! Let me out of here! Anybody! Somebody - help me!"
All of your racket must have alerted whoever else was on the ship with you, because the metal door opened, lifting up from the floor slowly.
Purple smoke filtered under the door and two white-robed figures walked in.
You looked at them and they looked back at you. Then they looked at each other and began speaking in a language that your puny human brain couldn't even begin to comprehend.
The two of them looked like regular humans, but you knew that they were anything but.
The shorter one of the two, a blonde with a black zig-zag stripe through one side of his hair, focused on you. 
He was wearing blue visor-like eyewear that shielded his honey-colored eyes from your vision. The man began to approach your bedside and only upon closer inspection did you realize that he was carrying a metal try with various surgical tools on it.
While the blonde situated himself on a stool beside your bed, the other, a much taller man with wild purple hair, matching eyes, and a black mouthpiece concealing the lower portion of his face sat down at the foot of your bed…table…examination table.
He said something else to the blonde, who nodded without looking up from the laptop that he was now typing on.
He moved a slim finger to press something on the screen - you couldn't read the text, it must be in whatever language they were speaking - and you noticed that his skin was a sickly-looking pale green color and his fingers ended in very sharp black talons.
Definitely not human.
—-
We are not the same, I am a Martian
And I'm hotter than summer rain like Carl Thomas
Lock, load, ready to aim at any target 
I could get your brains for a bargain like I bought it from Target 
—-
The purple-haired one seemed content with just watching you, but he began twisting the knobs on the sides of his mouthpiece.
Greetings, human.
The sound rang inside your head like a bell. It didn't seem to have come from his mouth, but since you couldn't see his lips, you really didn't know. 
"I-I…what do you plan to do with me? Please, just let me go home…!"
You pleaded to him, but your cries didn't seem to really affect him. He just continued staring at you, as if you were an insect under a microscope..
An insect that he could easily overpower and crush if you even tried to defy him or his partner. 
We plan to cause you no harm, if and only if you obey us and let us perform some examinations on you…
"W-What kind of examinations?"
The blonde, now finished with his computer work, rose from the stool and grabbed the metal tray.
He joined the purple one at the foot of your bed, having pulled the stool with him to sit back down on.
The purple one said no more, but the blonde reached for your feet and placed them into stirrups at the bottom of the bed.
This setup is one that you're quite familiar with…is he planning to… give you a feminine wellness exam?
Your thoughts on that were quickly diverted once you saw the tools that the blonde had actually picked up.
He wore thick blue gloves made of, what you assumed might be latex, but it had to be stronger or his claws would've ripped right through them.
"No…no no no no…please!" You pleaded, thrashing against the table widely.
In one hand he held what looked like a transvaginal ultrasound probe but on a much larger scale then what you'd find in any doctor's office on Earth.
The blonde spoke again to his companion, his tone coming across as annoyed. 
The purple-haired man slowly rose from his seat and walked over to you.
He placed his large hand atop your sweaty hair and began to gently stroke it in an effort to calm you down.
Hush now, if you don't lie still I'm going to have to sedate you.
Why couldn't you have just done that in the first damn place!?
You wanted to argue back, but thought it less than wise to do so.
The blonde continued on since you seemed to be distracted now. Deciding to not look at whatever he was about to do to you, you focused your attention on the purple-haired man.
He looked into your eyes and his own wrinkled at the corners, like he might be smiling at you. His sharp nails lightly skimmed over your scalp creating a tingling sensation.
Very good, pet. You're doing so well…
He reached behind his head and began to undo the contraption over his mouth.
The last thing that you saw was a wide mouth full of rows of razor-sharp teeth and a long, purple reptilian tongue.
We are not the same, I am an alien
Like Gonzales, young college 
Student, who done just flipped the game like Houston
I'm use to Promethazine and two cups, I'm screwed up
And you ain't shit if you ain't never been screwed up
Flow so sick, make you wanna throw your food up
—-
The blonde man pushed the large instrument inside of you and watched from a screen situated above your bed to make sure that he was maneuvering it correctly. 
The large instrument stretched the skin of your stomach so lewdly and the purple-haired man watched it maneuver inside of you, intrigued.
Then, with a very long and very thin needle, the blonde penetrated your belly in order to get to your ovaries and retrieve some eggs.
When he finished, he removed his gloves and washed his hands in a wide, oval-shaped sink made of what looked like pure white marble.  
Your face was covered in sweat and you were breathing heavily, but both men were cooing over you now, stroking your arms and legs while speaking in their strange language.
You didn't exactly remember it, but you somehow ended up back in the forest where you started.
Five days later.
Your roommate, teachers, colleagues, and parents were all worried sick about you, and finally, you were found on the fifth day, curled up in a ball in the middle of the forest.
They were scared that you might have been drugged and assaulted or worse, had a delusional episode and had wandered off by yourself and gotten lost in the forest.
You had no clothes on when they found you; the only thing covering you was a thin blanket made of a shimmery-metallic colored fabric.
The story became a big sensation in your town, but many were skeptical of you because of your schizophrenia.
You went on to finish college and live a pretty successful life, but that one night all those years ago still haunted you..

I never had life and I never had fear
I rap like I done died and gone to heaven I swear
And yeah I'mma bear, like black and white hair, so I'm polar
And they can't get on my system cause my system is the Solar
I am so far from the othars, I meant others
I just eat them for supper, get in my spaceship and hover, hover

Present Day, 2023
—-
"Damn, it really worked…" Denki said in awe as his eyes raked over your still body. "Isn't she supposed to like, talk, though? She hasn't said a word."
Currently, you haven't really said anything or moved much. Shinsou really had no idea what the hell he was doing, but he knew that he hadn't killed you, so all wasn't lost.
"She's so cute, I could give a damn about her stupid alien story." Denki got up from the coffee table and began unbuckling his jeans. 
"Whoa, you're really going to fuck an unconscious girl?" Shinsou asked, a bit taken aback.
The blonde scoffed, "Please, cut the nice guy act, will you? It really doesn't suit you. Besides, I saw her first, so I'm going to fuck her." He shrugged, uncaring. 
"Wait, stop. She just moved. She can probably hear us." Shinsou looked at your face, and sure enough your lips were moving and you were mumbling something.
"Please stop…hurts…let me go…help...someone…" Tumbled out of your Chapstick-coated lips.
"She's probably talking to the aliens, so she's not unconscious." Denki snickered. He elbowed Shinsou out of the way and straddled your legs over the couch. A zipper came down and he was now palming his hard cock in one hand while the other reached to pull your top down.
His hand then slapped your face and you jolted, but didn't open your eyes.
"With that weed, her psycho meds, and whatever the hell you just did, we just made her into the perfect little fuck doll for us to enjoy."
"Us? This is crazy…I can't…" Shinsou cut himself off as he looked at the board again.
If he didn't do this, he would be behind Denki.
He would lose to Denki.
He couldn't let that happen.
"Either we fuck her together or no one does and the board remains as is. So what'll it be, Hitoshi?"
—-
I got a dirty mind
I got filthy ways
I'm tryna bathe my ape (ape) in your Milky Way (Way)
I'm a legend, I'm irreverent, I be reverend
I'll be so far u-u-u-p
We don't give a f-u-u-uck
Welcome to the danger zone, step into the fantasy 
You are not invited to the other side of sanity
They calling me an alien, a big-headed astronaut
Maybe it's because ya boy Yeezy get ass a lot
—-
Shinsou situated himself back at the edge of the couch where your head was.
He pulled his own zipper down and let his dick flop right on out and rest against your soft cheek.
"So soft and warm…" His fingers curled into your hair as he began stroking himself. 
"Bet her mouth is much softer and much warmer." Denki sighed. He was jacking himself off with your pretty lace panties wrapped around his condom-covered cock.
—-
You're so, hypnotizing
Could you be the devil? 
Could you be an angel?
Your touch, magnetizing 
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing 
They say "Be afraid"
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you 
You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension 
You open my eyes 
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light  
—-
"Probably right…let's find out." Shinsou huffed breathlessly.
He leaned over you, parted your lips with two fingers, and spat into your mouth.
His cold, thin lips covered yours as he kissed you fully on the mouth, slipping his tongue inside.
—-
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your lovin', fill me with your poison 
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien 
Your touch, so foreign 
It's supernatural 
Extraterrestrial
—-
After releasing his warm cum all over your pussy, Denki reached for a small box underneath the couch.
Inside were two electric nipple clamps.
"These will really give her the shock of her life." He grinned and attached them to your erect nipples. 
"Wanna do the honors?" He tossed the small, black remote to Shinsou, who was rubbing his swollen cock over your wet lips.
Shinsou pressed a button on the remote and your body jerked from the electric shock, making Denki giggle.
—-
You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your power
Stun me with your laser
Your kiss, is cosmic
Every move is magic
You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension 
You open my eyes 
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light 
—-
"Fuck..!"
"S-shit.."
Both men moved in a rhythm; Denki thrusting into your cunt while Shinsou did the same action with your mouth.
"I'm going to…blow my fucking load..ahh shit, she's so tight for such a dumb slut." Denki groaned, his hips jerking faster and faster, making the couch scrape back and forth against the floor. 
"I'm close, too…fuck…so good…such a good kitten, take all of my cum, now. Drink it all up like a good bitch." 
Shinsou's head flopped forward and he grasped one of your tits while he orgasmed hard.
His cum flooded your mouth and spilled over the sides. The lavender-haired man tutted and used his thumb to push it back inside your mouth.
"Fuck!" Denki shouted and sunk his knees into the couch as he came hard into the condom. He had to catch his breath before he climbed off of you. Your panties were stuffed in his back pocket as he went to trash the condom and clean himself up.
Shinsou sank down onto the coffee table and pulled out another cigarette while he watched you.
It was now evening and the windows had darkened along with the changing sky.
Multiple stars littered the sky outside and the moon shone through the window where Denki had left the curtains open a smidgen.
When Denki came back, you were coming to with a shocked and confused look on your face. 
"It's you, again…it's you! You came back!" You cried. 
Without any care for how you might've looked, you sat upright urgently and wrapped your arms around yourself.
The blonde and purple-haired men just stared at you with bored expressions on their faces. 
They had gotten what they wanted and now had no use for you or any regard for your well-being whatsoever. 
That blonde and lavender hair, those sharp, cunning eyes…they were the same as those from all those years ago…how could you have not noticed it before?
"Stay away from me, you monsters!" 
You threw a pillow from the couch at Denki and he caught it. A smirk covered his lips as he watched you run out of the door with your skirt pushed up your hips, no shoes, no purse, and your hand haphazardly holding your breasts inside your top.
"Do you think she'll tell anyone?" Shinsou asked, smoke curling from his lips as he spoke.
Denki reached for another pre-rolled blunt that had been pushed off the side of the table during your activities. 
"Even if she did, who would believe a crazy bitch like her?"
—-
You ran completely out of the building, into the night.
You didn't know exactly where you were running to, but you knew that you had to get away from there.
Ahh, there you are. We've finally found you, again.
Your head whipped around behind you, where you could see two, tall, robed figures standing there. The moonlight reflected off of that tell-tale visor, while long, skinny fingers clicked and turned the wheels on the sides of a black mouthpiece. 
Our little test subject…
You screamed. 
—-
I know a bar out in Mars
Where they driving spaceships instead of cars
Cop a Prada space suit up out the stars
Getting stupid high straight up out the jars
Pockets on Shrek, rockets on deck
Tell me what's next? Alien sex?
I'ma disrobe you, then I'ma probe you
See, I abducted you, so I tell you what to do
(I tell you what to do, what to do, what to do)
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your lovin', fill me with your poison 
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien 
Your touch, so foreign 
It's supernatural 
Extraterrestrial

Anti-fascist counter demos in the UK on Wednesday the 7th and Friday the 9th of August
There are going to be a new round of anti-immigrant fascist riots in the UK on Wednesday the 7th of August and Friday the 9th. If you are able to get to one of the counter-demos, and it is safe for you to do so (and I'm including safe for your mental health; please don't push yourself too far), it's really important to go. Not only to physically stop the fascists from burning down immigration lawyers' practices or attacking Muslims in the street, but to stand up and be counted. This is a terrifying time to be an immigrant or a person of colour in the UK, and seeing the fascists outnumbered and humiliated by decent people can go some way to making it less bad.
Stay safe:
come early, well before the fascists assemble
Wear a mask, not only to avoid police surveillance but to avoid being doxxed by the fascists
Don't carry identifying information, such as credit cards, in case the police arrest you
Write the number for a protest lawyer on your arm so you won't lose it
Bring water
Bring suncream
Bring a friend if you can
Wear comfortable shoes
Stand Up to Racism has thhe best list of organised counter-demos. I wouldn't advise turning up to oppose a fascist march if you're not sure whether a counter demo has been called, but here's a list of places the far right has singled out to target on Wednesday at 8pm, so you know broadly whether your city is on the list:
