[damnation-if]

“Oh you mean in a fight” anon made me wonder, who lets the MC win if they’re play fighting & who’s out for unquestionable conquest?

oho, an interesting question... i'll break them down into categories

Lets MC Win

Heluur, Lithiana

Doesn't Play To Lose

Suchebh, Arianis

Doesn't Really Understand the Appeal of Play-Fighting

Twilit

Has a Lot of Trouble Keeping Themself From Feeling Competitive in Situations Like That and so Would Rather Not Do It In Case They Mess the Relationship Up Or Accidentally Hurt MC

I don't know who you are, Anon. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave Deadly-dearie alone now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. >:3

ooooh, spoopy!! thanks hun ♥ but i’ll be fine :D it’s fun!

Thanks Again!! #Repost @rushhourstore with @make_repost ・・・ ::: RECORD OF THE WEEK ::: THE TWILITE TONE - THE CLEARING (STONES THROW) Although he’s been in the game for more than three decades, ‘The Clearing’ is the debut solo album by Anthony Khan, the producer/musician who’s probably best known as Twilite Tone. Coming from a musical household - his uncle is the legendary Chicago bass player Hassan Khan, while he’s also related to bass giant Richard Davis - Twilite Tone has soaked up the sound of the Windy City since the early seventies, producing house tracks under a bunch of secretive aliases in the mid-to-late eighties, while simultaneously forming a group with and DJ-ing for Common. That collaboration resulted in the 1992 co-production of Common’s classic debut ‘Can I Borrow A Dollar’ (1997’s seminal Lowrell and Patrice Rushen-sampling ‘Reminding Me (Of Sef)’ is also a Tone production) - before moving on to work with big names like Gorillaz and Kanye West. Armed with only an MPC, a Korg Triton Workstation and what he calls a ‘secret Moog-like module’, Tone cooks up fourteen beatscapes on ‘The Clearing’, navigating between hiphop, funk and house - much like the city of Chicago itself. A sound he himself describes as ‘transgenre’. Zigzagging between headbopping machine funk (opener ‘Journey Into Sound’, ‘The Lite’,) and spaced-out instrumental hiphop jams (‘Ancestors and Angels’, ‘The Sound’), Tone veers towards a more housey sound as the album progresses, concluding his fourteen track journey with the buzzin’ ‘Taxi Cab Confessions’, a track that’s equal parts Dilla, Theo and early Dance Mania - a modern yet timeless sort of sound that refuses to be tied down to any one genre but is a perfect addition to Stones Throw’s illustrious beat tape tradition.

LP version. Carla dal Forno presents her debut solo album You Know What It's Like, following time in cult Melbourne group Mole House and an earlier association with Blackest Ever Black as a member of F ingers and Tarcar. Her voice is an extraordinary instrument: both disarmingly conversational and glacially detached. It has something of the bedsit urbanity of Anna Domino, Marine Girls, Antena, or Helen Johnstone - stoned and deadpan - but it can also summon a gothic intensity that Nico or Kendra Smith would approve of. This voice is the perfect embodiment of dal Forno's emotionally ambiguous songs: their lyrics rooted in the everyday, observing and exposing a series of uncomfortable truths. "Fast Moving Cars" and "What You Gonna Do Now?" weigh up claustrophobia against loneliness, inertia against acceleration, doubling-down versus taking-off; the title track acknowledges the provisional nature of love and "real" intimacy, then decides to brave it anyway. By the time the startlingly sparse "The Same Reply" arrives, the sense of dejection is absolute. The vocal-led pieces are interspersed with richly evocative instrumentals. Smothered in tape-hiss and reverb, the seasick synthesizer miniatures "Italian Cinema" and "Dragon Breath" channel the twilit DIY whimsy of Flaming Tunes and Call Back The Giants. The drum machine and bassline of "DB Rip" are pure Chicago house, but then its dark choral drones nod to Dalis Car's dreams of blood-spattered Cornwall stone. "Dry The Rain" drinks from a stream of moon-musick that runs through Coil, In Gowan Ring, Third Ear Band, even the Raincoats's Odyshape (1981). Macchi, Egisto: Biologia Animal Vegetale 3LP $54.99New lower pricing. Triple LP box set version. Cinedelic records present a reissue of one of Egisto Macchi's major works, Biologia Animale e Vegetale, produced by Renato Pent. Biologia Animale e Vegetale was recorded in Torino in 1976 and originally published as double LP. Egisto Macchi, often remembered as a member of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, the historic Italian improvising collective (that also included Franco Evangelisti and Ennio Morricone, among others), was a major figure within the contemporary music field from the fifties to the eighties. The life path of Egisto Macchi seemed to be devoted to the multiplicity of aesthetic choices and musical expressions. While tracing his life and work, one notices an interesting duality based both on a very inclusive approach towards all kind of expressive needs and full control of the level of communication. A complex personality revealing the coherence of a man trying to connect elements usually kept separate; the inherent need for approaching different sources and the ability to be inspired by a wide range of intuitions. Macchi has explored and experimented in the field of sound and music without ever forgetting about his moral and civil engagement. His compositional work takes shape from the idea that music and arts should be able to create a symbiotic contact between the creator (composer) and the beneficiary (listener). All his work finds its origin in the need to integrate the sound language with the feeling of a new developing society. In fact music was just one factor in a more complex chain which included his humanistic and sociological engagement; a syncretic philosophical narrative and a symbolic tale revealing deep anthropological aspects. The 3LP box set is a limited edition of 600. The 3LP box set also comes as 180 gram vinyl and includes a download code. ZOS KIA/COILTransparent 2LP  $32.99Double LP version. Comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 12" booklet of unseen images and includes a download card. The entire Transparent recordings released for the first time, completely remastered from the unedited tapes. Zos Kia was formed by John Gosling (Mekon), John Balance (Coil) and Min - with guest Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle). Their one and only album, Transparent, was released on August 23rd, 1983 in a cassette only edition on the now defunct Austria label Nekrophile. They were the first released recordings of both Coil and Zos Kia. It was reissued years later by Coil (Threshold House/Eskaton). Includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks by Ake (pre-Zos Kia). The music on Transparent is genuinely unsettling and disturbing, with a more primal Industrial feel than the Coil album which followed; Scatology (1984). An essential insight into the very early work of these extraordinary artists and an undeniable link between Coil and Throbbing Gristle. YOUNG, NATERegression LP  $19.99Wolf Eyes' Nate Young's Regression series has provided some of the most compelling dread-electronics spewed out by the North American underground in years, with instalments released by Demdike Stare's DDS label and Aaron Dilloway's Hanson, as well as NNA Tapes and others. It all began back in 2009 with this first volume issued by Joachim Nordwall's Ideal label, an incredible set that's now being released on vinyl here for the first time ever. Young is one of those artists whose output is instantly recognizable, his take on primitive electronics is both innovative and unnerving, and in recent years has really dominated the stylistic direction pursued by Wolf Eyes. It's a kind of creaky, bare-boned deconstruction of classic horror scoring jolted by noise and industrial motifs, sounding somewhere between Demdike Stare's early work, John Carpenter, and Mica Levi's by-now-classic soundtrack to Under The Skin (2014). You could neither classify Regression as a noise record nor an ambient one, instead the synth dissections and tape treatments more closely reference early electronic music. "Trapped" offers little of the claustrophobia suggested by its title, although the continual woody knocking sounds and filthy oscillations do engender a sense of unease, while "Dread" brings to mind the Desmond Briscoe soundtrack to Nigel Kneale's The Stone Tape (1972). "Under The Skin" returns to the more esoteric, intangible sound designs that characterized the album's opening, writhing around in a spluttering, tactile fashion that's at once sonically rather beautiful but deeply sinister, modulating through grisly synthesizer gestures while more textural, percussive sounds flood through dub-style tape delays. Young has an uncanny ability to make sonic extremes sound incredibly seductive, and this volume is perhaps the most engrossing exposition of that unique ability. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering.

BEZOS AND THE WHITE BIRDS, KOSTASKostas Bezos And The White Birds LP+CD  $20.99"The first-ever compilation of 'Xabagies', the nearly forgotten Hawaiian-influenced music of 1930s Greece, focused on the compositions of Kostas Bezos and his ensemble White Birds. A world-class slide guitarist, political cartoonist, and sleepless Bohemian, Kostas Bezos created some of the most unique music of any era: surrealist guitar portraits blurring Athens and Honolulu, haunting tropical serenades, wild acoustic orchestras, and heartbreaking steel guitar duets. LP version includes a 28 page booklet with extensive notes by Tony Klein and Dimitri Kourtis, unpublished photographs, lyrics, obituaries, and a bonus CD containing 18 additional tracks. Mastered from original 78s by Michael Graves. Co-released by Olvido Records, edition of 1000." Oliveros, Pauline: Electronic Music Studio CD $17.99 "1 Of IV" and "Big Mother Is Watching You" were both made in the summer of 1966 at the University of Toronto Electronic Music Studio. "1 Of IV" was previously released in 1967, on Odyssey, alongside works by 2 other young composers - "Come out" by Steve Reich and "Night music" by Richard Maxfield. "Big Mother..." is a previously unreleased piece. The 3rd (and final) piece on this compilation was made at the San Francisco Tape Music Center in 1965 and was first released in 1977 on the compilation New Music For Electronic And Recorded Media, released on 1750 Arch Records. The 3 pieces on this CD are all live experiments, which at the simplest level use either an array of oscillators and filters, a mixer and one spool of tape feeding a series of (variously set up) stereo tape machines. Long delay lines, pile ups of noise and rich sonorities are the stuff of this music. The third piece also uses samples taken from Pucini's Madame Butterfly. All 3 pieces on this CD are not included on the 12 CD boxset of early electronic music by Oliveros, released by Important Records. ENGLISH, LAWRENCECruel Optimism LP  $25.99LP version. "Cruel Optimism is a record that considers power (present and absent). It meditates on how power consumes, augments, and ultimately shapes two subsequent human conditions: obsession and fragility. . . . This edition owes its title and its origins to the wonderful text of the same name by American theorist Lauren Berlant. . . . In Cruel Optimism, I found a number of critical readings around the issues that have fueled so much of the music I have been making recently. Beyond her keen analysis of the relations of attachment as they pertain to conditions of possibility in the everyday, it was particularly her writing around trauma I found deeply affecting. It was a jumping off point from which a plague of unsettling impressions of suffering, intolerance, and ignorance could be unpacked and utilized as fuel over and above pointless frustration. When I made Wilderness Of Mirrors (RM 460CD/LP, 2014) clouds of unease were overhead. As I have worked through Cruel Optimism, what seemed an unimaginable future just a few years prior, began to present as actual. Over the course of creating the record, we collectively bore witness to a new wave of humanitarian and refugee crisis (captured so succinctly in the photograph of Alan Kurdi's tiny body motionless on the shore), the Black Lives Matter movement, the widespread use of sonic weapons on civilians, increased drone strikes in Waziristan, Syria and elsewhere, and record low numbers of voting around Brexit and the US election cycle, suggesting a wider sense of disillusionment and powerlessness. Acutely for me and other Australians, we've faced dire intolerance concerning race and continued inequalities related to gender and sexuality. The storm has broken and feels utterly visceral. Cruel Optimism is a meditation on these challenges and an encouragement to press forward towards more profound futures. Beyond the motivations forging the record, the process by which this edition was created was unlike many of my other records. Having worked largely alone in recent years, I wanted to shift away from that approach. . . . I count myself exceptionally fortunate to have been able to call on so many fine musicians in the making of this album. . . . I couldn't be more pleased to share Cruel Optimism with you." --Lawrence English, October 2016 Contributions in various forms from: Mats Gustafsson, Mary Rapp, Tony Buck, Chris Abrahams, Werner Dafeldecker, Norman Westberg, Brodie McAllister, Australian Voices, Vanessa Tomlinson, Heinz Riegler, and Thor Harris. VA - Where the Mountains Meet the Sky: Folk Music of Ladakh LPSublime Frequencies  $22.99Music from Ladakh recorded during the making of the film The Song Collector (2014) by director Erik Koto, with additional material recorded by Bill Kite in 1992. "Situated high in the Western Himalaya, Ladakh is one of the great cultural crossroads of Asia. For centuries, it sat at the hub of ancient trade routes that connected the Silk Road to India, Tibet, and Kashmir. Each year, once the winter snows had melted from the high passes surrounding Ladakh, its markets would buzz with merchants from throughout central Asia. They brought spices, wool, salt, and silk. They also brought their instruments and their folks songs. Over time, these diverse musical influences laid the foundation of Ladakh's unique folk traditions. Folk music became central to the daily life of the Ladakhis with song serving as an essential form of communication, documentation, and entertainment. This collection of songs is intended to offer a sampling of the range of Ladakh's folk music. These songs also celebrate one of the great folk artists of Ladakh, Morup Namgyal. Morup is an avid preservationist and during his 30-year career working at Ladakh's only radio station (All India Radio, Leh) he recorded a vast archive of Ladakhi folk songs. This collection of over 1,000 recordings was unlike anything else in Ladakh and formed a crucial link to a dying folk tradition. Tragically, it burned to the ground in 2002 when a fire raged through the old wooden radio station building. The loss was devastating, but Morup immediately set about recreating the archive. Five of the songs on this album, recorded in 1992, are among the handful of tracks to have been spared by the fire. Today, Ladakh's marketplaces bear little resemblance to the buzzing markets of old. Gone are the camel trains and merchants, replaced instead by Indian trucks belching smoke. Seemingly vanished too are the folk musicians, pushed aside by the synthetic beats of the latest Bollywood hit. But the folk artists have not vanished entirely, and if you wander beyond the blare of the latest pop song, you'll discover a folk tradition that, thanks to the efforts of Morup Namgyal and others like him, is alive, evolving, and poised to endure the challenges of modernization." --Erik Koto. LP comes with a full-size insert containing historic photos, song lyrics, and liner notes by Erik Koto. Riley, Terry : Descending Moonshine Dervishes  LP $26.99Beacon Sound present a reissue of Terry Riley's Descending Moonshine Dervishes, originally released in 1982. Recorded live in Berlin in 1975, and largely improvised, Riley plays a modified Yamaha organ with variable resistors to facilitate tuning in just intonation. This is a 50+ minute recording divided into two halves for vinyl. Terry Riley turned the music world upside down with his 1964 work In C, a revolutionary concept based on 53 modules that can be improvised upon by any number of musicians for an indeterminate amount of time over a pulsing C note typically played on piano or mallet. Performed live for the first time by Steve Reich, Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnik, and Jon Gibson, it has since been performed by everyone from the Shanghai Film Orchestra, Adrian Utley of Portishead, and the Malian musicians of Africa Express (featuring contributions by Brian Eno and Damon Albarn). Though referred to as the "father of minimalism", the 81-year-old Riley has ranged widely in the intervening decades, deeply influenced by jazz, North Indian classical music, and a distinctly West Coast strain of radical spirituality - and in turn influencing practically everyone: The Who ("Baba O'Riley"), The Velvet Underground, collaborators The Kronos Quartet, as well as the legions of cutting-edge electronic musicians and contemporary composers making genre-defying music today. A resident of Grass Valley, CA, Riley is still touring the world. "Great for meditating to the cosmos" --Thurston Moore. Remastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri. . Riley, Terry : Songs For The Ten Voices of the Two Prophets  LP $26.99Beacon Sound present a reissue of Terry Riley's Songs For The Ten Voices Of The Two Prophets, originally released in 1983. Recorded live in Munich in 1982 using two Prophet synthesizers and voice, this album is a reflection of Riley's ongoing interest in melding improvisation, electronic music, and the raga vocal stylings of his mentor, Pandit Pran Nath. Terry Riley turned the music world upside down with his 1964 work In C, a revolutionary concept based on 53 modules that can be improvised upon by any number of musicians for an indeterminate amount of time over a pulsing C note typically played on piano or mallet. Performed live for the first time by Steve Reich, Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnik, and Jon Gibson, it has since been performed by everyone from the Shanghai Film Orchestra, Adrian Utley of Portishead, and the Malian musicians of Africa Express (featuring contributions by Brian Eno and Damon Albarn). Though referred to as the "father of minimalism", the 81-year-old Riley has ranged widely in the intervening decades, deeply influenced by jazz, North Indian classical music, and a distinctly West Coast strain of radical spirituality - and in turn influencing practically everyone: The Who ("Baba O'Riley"), The Velvet Underground, collaborators The Kronos Quartet, as well as the legions of cutting-edge electronic musicians and contemporary composers making genre-defying music today. A resident of Grass Valley, CA, Riley is still touring the world. Remastered by Raphael Anton Irisarri. Includes original insert; Edition of 300. "His voice twists and curves in complicated arabesques, recalling Indian music, and especially the singing of Mr. Riley's colleague and teacher, Pandit Pran Nath, who is also associated with Mr. Riley's long-time friend LaMonte Young. The synthesizers create a hushed, meditative counterpoint of slowly unwinding melodies and cross-rhythms... the Prophet 5, a polyphonic synthesizer that is capable of rich viola-like sounds, is a winning instrument for Mr. Riley's improvisations. After years of playing a Yamaha electric organ, he has turned to the synthesizer, which theoretically offers an infinite assortment of sounds. Rather than take advantage of the instrument's ability to mimic vocal sounds and timbres, as composers like Jon Hassel and Brian Eno have done, Mr. Riley plays the synthesizer as a keyboard instrument, with a luminous sound and the ability to bend or inflect notes." --New York Times, Feb 1984 Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk: Passage LP $29.99LP version. Passage is the second collaborative album from London-based synth-wizard Ulrich Schnauss and Danish producer Jonas Munk. 11 tracks of breezy, blissed-out electronica and colorful ambient. As the album title denotes, there's a sense of movement in the music these two producers create together: a Schnauss and Munk composition starts one place and ends up someplace very different - something that can only rarely be said about electronic music, which traditionally has focused its energy on texture rather than composition. Sometimes their vivid, expansive soundscapes feels like the sonic equivalent of gliding towards the horizon through a panoramic landscape on a train. One's perspective changes slightly when in motion from one place to another - continuously approaching new things and leaving others behind. There's a prismatic, multi-dimensional quality to these 11 tracks, likely stemming from the fact that these two producers each have worked with a wide range of styles and musicians throughout their 15+ year careers: Ulrich cut his teeth as a drum and bass producer in Berlin, before releasing a string of highly influential neo-shoegazy records on labels such as Domino and City Centre Offices. Since moving to London in 2006, he's been a member of bands such as Engineers and Longview and remixed artists ranging from Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys to Mojave 3, and since 2013 he's been a member of legendary band Tangerine Dream. While Jonas Munk initially became known to the post-rock and electronica communities via his Manual albums on Morr Music and Darla Records, he's also had his hands in psychedelic rock (he's a noted producer in the European psych scene and is in the band Causa Sui) as well as film soundtracks and experimental minimalism. Both Ulrich and Jonas, however, have the skills of seasoned producers to weave the multitude of influences together in a well-defined sonic aesthetic. The result is a compelling set of melodic electronic music that echoes the past, yet feels fresh. Cluster: Zuckerzeit LP+CD $26.992017 repress. Originally released in 1974, Zuckerzeit marked a turning point for these seminal German space rockers. Recorded shortly after their move away from the metropolis of Berlin, it sees some of the abrasiveness of their earlier material slightly diffusing. With the addition of proto drum machines and the producing talents of Michael Rother, their sound here - while remaining firmly in anchored in experimental territory - has more pop sensibility. Newly packaged with the CD of the album. Soares, Elza : Woman At The End of the World  CD $16.99Repressed; LP version. Septuagenarian Brazilian music icon Elza Soares teams up with the cream of São Paulo's avant-garde musicians for an album of apocalyptic, experimental samba sujo ("dirty samba") that tackles the burning issues of 21st century Brazil: racism, domestic violence, sex, drug addiction and global warming. The Woman at the end of the World is Elza's 34th studio album and her first to feature previously unrecorded material, exclusively composed for her. Voted "Best Album of 2015" by Rolling Stone Brazil after its domestic release, it will now be released worldwide by UK based label Mais Um Discos. Over a sprawl of distorted guitars, squalling horn, taught strings and electronic shards, samba is savaged by rock 'n' roll, free jazz, noise and other experimental music forms. A true legend of Brazilian music Elza has an incredible musical oeuvre that stretches back over seven decades mixing samba with jazz, soul, funk, hip hop and electronica, whilst her life story is a rags-to-riches-to-rags rollercoaster of triumphs and tragedies that has made her a voice for Brazil's repressed female, black, gay and working class populations. Her music career began in the late 1950s as she sung in clubs and hotels, sometimes being forced to perform off stage because of her skin color. The '60s was a career defining period with a run of classic albums for Odeon. After decades of hardships and artistic exploration, her latest muse is São Paulo's hyped samba sujo scene. Soares presents an album that walks a tightrope between post-rock and post-samba. "I knew this album would be a bold, modern sound" she says. "These songs are tense they do not allow you to relax". The album opens with "Coracão do Mar (Heart of the Sea)" with Elza reciting a poem from celebrated Brazilian modernist poet Oswald de Andrade. Title track "Mulher do fim do Mundo" uses carnival as a metaphor for the apocalypse and according to composer Romulo Froes "translates Elza's strength and indestructability". With The Woman at the End of the World, Elza forces the joy and sadness that personifies samba to confront the dirty truths of modern day São Paulo. Fjellstrom, Marcus : Skelektikon LP $23.99LP version. Includes download code; Edition of 500. Six years after his last album on Miasmah, Schattenspieler (MIA 013CD/LP, 2010), it's great to find Marcus Fjellström resurrected after several long years spent composing his audio-visual opera Boris Christ. Born out of shattered dreams and an obscured vision of the future, Skelektikon is a delirious yet lucid exploration of the farthest and most conflicted reaches of the heart, teeming with confusion, passion, and ghostly shadows. Being no conventional composer in any way, Marcus stumbles further down his musical domain of detuned orchestral (re-)arrangements and pain-inducing synth passages, arriving at a most unique and personal result. Where Schattenspieler gave way to noir filled alleyways, Skelektikon fills them with paranoia. It's the sound of limbo, of dancing amoebas, of deviant skeletons, nostalgia, and futurism, or quite possibly none of that. Inhabited by the bizarre and the beautiful, Marcus's music is a blurred yet encouraging representation of how you can never trust your own feelings - or eyes and ears for that matter. And yet, you can't shake the idea that the truth is to be found somewhere within this alien language, as delivered to us through the speakers. After the listener opens their eyes after the final track has dissipated, they shouldn't be surprised to find someone or something there, staring at us, in silent and unsettling knowledge.

Mittoo, Jackie : Keyboard King $23.99LP version. Radiation Roots present a reissue of Jackie Mittoo's The Keyboard King, originally released in 1976. Jackie Mittoo's contribution to reggae music is immeasurable. Of mixed Indian and African-Jamaican heritage, the man born Donat Roy Mittoo was a gifted musician that played piano in The Skatalites at the age of 16. He was a very important part of reggae's evolution, having been a crucial member of the Studio One house band from its very foundation, being employed as the main keyboardist and musical arranger for an extended period, working closely there with Lee 'Scratch' Perry and countless other important figures, as well as relegating Leroy Sibbles to the bass. Although Mittoo migrated to Canada in the late 1960s, he frequently returned to Jamaica to record, maintaining his Studio One connection, and also issuing a sublime series of albums for Bunny Lee in the mid-1970s. The Keyboard King was first issued on Third World in 1976, and features Mr. Mittoo's delightful organ workouts, completely reconfiguring hits by John Holt, Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, and Bunny & Skully, among others. Pablo, Augustus : At King Tubby's LP $23.99LP version. Radiation Roots present a reissue of Augustus Pablo's Augustus Pablo At King Tubbys, originally released in 2005. The visionary musician and record producer Augustus Pablo made some of the most unique and individual recordings in the history of reggae. As with his friend and mentor, Jackie Mittoo, the man born Horace Swaby was of mixed Indian and African heritage, and although his middle-class background might have pointed him in a very different direction, the lure of Jamaica's sound system culture captured him at a young age, particularly after debilitating health problems saw him drop out of school. He began recording as a session keyboardist as the '60s gave way to the '70s, but everything changed when a school-friend introduced him to the melodica, a small plastic keyboard operated by a mouthpiece, which he used on seminal recordings for producer Herman Chin-Loy, credited to Augustus Pablo on the release. During the early 1970s, Pablo crafted melodica instrumentals for all of the leading reggae producers, scoring "best instrumental" for "Java" in 1973, and launching the Rockers label to showcase self-produced work at the same time. This multi-faceted compilation, first issued on Bunny Lee's Attack label in 2005, compiles memorable melodica interpretations of some of Lee's greatest productions, recorded over dub cuts of immortal numbers such as Cornell Campbell's "Queen Of The Minstrel" and John Holt's "My Desire".

Hihi! Gonna be honest, I came for the smut, but stayed for the funny writing, 10/10, will keep replaying the different routes so far <3 If it's not spoilery, what are the ROs fears? Demons have fears, right?

hm, i don't think this is too spoilery? i might be a bit vague with some of them so as to not spoil some backstory perhaps

Arianis

running out of time

Heluur

destroying the earth accidentally (lmao)

Lithiana

losing the people she cares about

Malkorath

being enslaved again/losing control of themself

Suchebh

being unimportant in the grand scheme of things/not mattering to people who matter to them

Twilit

running out of things to explore; life becoming dull because they know everything there is to know

thank you for your kind words, by the way! i'm really glad you're enjoying the game! <3

[damnation-if]

Hi! ok so i was thinking about fanart and stuff and it made me think a bunch of thangs: Seeing as this is a game where gender, pronouns, and genitals are chosen separately i wondered on whether any of the ROs, excluding nonbinary options, were trans. I've seen other games make a characetr trans regardless of gender choice (in Moonless, Silas is either a trans man or a trans woman) or have the same sex characteristics regardless of gender (like maybe being cis as a woman but trans as a man). I was curious so i thought i'd ask! Maybe it doesn't really matter much seeing as they're demons and their bits might be just too weird to really mean anything and gender is more for aesthetics? Also, how explicit will the sex scenes be? I have no problem with smut but i guess that just because the story is about sex doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be super explicit. Will the scenes for the nonbinary ro's be written neutrally without mentioning sex characteristics or do they have a set bodytypes? Thank you for your attention!(also i am curious about your angel game idea, would you tell us more about that some time? :0)

hi, thank you for your ask! there's a bunch of good questions in this one, so i'm going to answer them under a cut just because it might get long while i Discuss my answers :)

Seeing as this is a game where gender, pronouns, and genitals are chosen separately i wondered on whether any of the ROs, excluding nonbinary options, were trans.

the answer to this one is Yes And Also Sort Of Yes, albeit with some technicalities tacked on... to start with, Arianis falls into the category of having the same sex characteristics regardless of gender: f!Arianis is a trans woman, though m!Arianis is a cis man. some aspects of f!Arianis's transition have been magical in nature, while others have been more mundane, like taking hormones - this is to clarify that despite this being a setting with transformation magic, she didn't simply magically transform perfectly into her preferred body. some people might prefer that kind of transition, but it wasn't a priority in particular for f!Arianis.

next, you're right of course that though that when it comes to the demons that it does make the concept of cis/transness a bit weird to navigate, particularly for the older ones. Heluur and Twilit were both alive before physical forms were a thing at all, so it's kind of a metaphysical conundrum establishing what kind of agab that gives them lmfao. however, they did both personally have Some level of control over how their physical forms turned out once they were moving into physical space (and then later being forced to stay there), so if you want to consider their agab the ones that they took when they first settled on a physical form, then that's at least a place to start from.

but to be honest, i don't personally think that Twilit in particular would consider that to be their agab, since they still both had concepts of gender and identity back when they were noncorporeal. i guess it's up to you as a reader whether you agree or not and how you'd feel about it if it was your own situation, but i feel it's important to at least explain where each character sits on the spectrum of that decision haha

Heluur would consider himself cis despite the. wibbly-wobblyness of Choosing a physical form, but Twilit, in each of the selectable gender options, would be more inclined to choose trans. not just because as far as they're concerned their agab is "chaos" but also because they regularly change their physical form (including their sex) using magic and reinvent themself when they feel like it. however, i've never quite made a big announcement talking about this mostly because i'm aware that some trans people understandably feel uncomfortable with the casting of characters who are shapeshifters and etc. as good trans representation when it's essentially bypassing a lot of the struggles that real trans people face (though i'm also of course aware that there are other trans people who are fine with it and even like it a lot, as no marginalised group is some kind of monolith lmao).

basically i've been choosing to treat it as a fact about Twilit as a character, without necessarily assigning a label applicable to regular irl humans to them, since the regular irl humans to whom the label applies may have different and conflicting opinions about whether it also applies to Twilit. whether people consider them to be trans or not, the facts about their actions and thoughts aren't going to change. they would personally lean towards calling themself trans whatever gender is selected for them, but more because they absolutely wouldn't consider themself cis than because of personally believing that their experiences with sex and gender are congruent with those of trans humans.

hopefully that's a helpful answer lmfao... sorry it's a bit long but i do feel like it's a topic worth giving the respect of a thorough explanation. the other binary-gendered ROs all consider themselves cis.

Also, how explicit will the sex scenes be? I have no problem with smut but i guess that just because the story is about sex doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be super explicit.

the sex scenes will be explicit lmfao. i understand if some readers are uncomfortable with/don't want that, which is why i've always tried to put "put yourself first! don't play something you're uncomfortable with!!!" all over my posts and so on, but that is how it is. i have no problem with people choosing not to read - in fact i'd rather they do that than force themselves - so i do try to be as upfront as possible with this sort of information.

Will the scenes for the nonbinary ro's be written neutrally without mentioning sex characteristics or do they have a set bodytypes?

this may be somewhat contentious (as again, no marginalised groups are a monolith), but to me personally, as a nonbinary person, i often feel uncomfortable with explicit sex scenes that make a point to gloss over sex characteristics for nonbinary characters... it makes me feel. de-sexed, for lack of a better term. purposefully excluded to a certain extent. like, despite being nonbinary, i do Have genitalia, as do basically all other people, nonbinary or not. however, i do understand the reasons for people feeling the opposite, and i don't think they're invalid or that people Shouldn't feel that way.

again, i understand if people choose not to read the game based on how they feel about this decision, but due to my own personal perspective as a nonbinary person, i will be writing the nonbinary versions of Arianis, Malkorath and Twilit with set sex characteristics... n!Arianis has male sex characteristics (as you can probably guess from the earlier explanation regarding them), and n!Malkorath has female sex characteristics. in Twilit's case, it's going to be decided using a random selection variable lmfao.

i wouldn't ordinarily make such a blatant Announcement of these kinds of facts (in general i'd probably prefer to let it just come up in the game) but due to the nature of this game, it's going to come up sooner rather than later anyway lmao.

also i am curious about your angel game idea, would you tell us more about that some time? :0

i've already talked A Lot in this post, but to give a brief kind of outline, it's a game that is very much about being an older sibling on a number of levels.

a god whose favourite child is humanity and who expects the elder sibling of angels to shoulder a bunch of the responsibility for caring for and protecting humanity essentially casts a bunch of angels out of heaven to come down to earth and kill an evil god who is trying to destroy all humans, and the group of angels that the mc is a part of has to deal with the trauma and travails of trying to get through the horrors of the war on top of dealing with how they're treated by their god. mc also has a younger sibling angel with them that they're trying to protect; i had the idea to use choices to subtly relate the way that the mc feels about humanity and the younger sibling to reflect each other lmao.

it's in a fantasy medieval-adjacent setting where the evil god has brought about eternal winter and roughly half of the ROs are humans that the angels end up having to work with (though the other half are from among the mc's angel comrades). it lives rent free in my head still i'm afraid XD i hope this is okay as a short brief on it!

[damnation-if]

On a scale of 1 to 10 how resistant the ROs are to a MC giving them puppy dog eyes

with 1 being least resistant and 10 being most...

Arianis - 6/7. they're an independent warlock who makes tough decisions and can't be swayed!!! unless mc is being really cute...

Heluur - maybe a 2 lmao. he doesn't want mc to be sad... 😔

Lithiana - 5. it depends on the situation and her mood

Malkorath - 1. if mc is romancing them? even less, maybe -10 XD

Suchebh - the highest possible score, either 10 or infinity. try puppy dog eyes on Suchebh at your mc's own risk... they may end up getting the exact opposite of what they're asking for XD

Twilit - varies depending on how much they like mc and whether or not they realise that puppy dog eyes are happening. it's about a 4 if mc is in good with them and closer to 8 or 9 otherwise.

[damnation-if]

I’m sorry, victims? 👀

you might be interested in this snippet 😌 in a more general sense, twilit has victims in much the same way that a great white shark does... they're not especially invested in going out and grabbing people, but you should probably clear out if you happen to see them around. and definitely don't poke them XD

[damnation-if]

once again writing things to distract from the bad times... this is the Twilit version of that previous scene i posted with Heluur hehe. (to clarify, it’s a scene some mcs Might get quite a few chapters ahead based on some choices, this time if you happen to be particularly close to Twilit). Definitely Don’t click this if you’re concerned with avoiding spoilers!

(the beginning part will be the same as the start of the other one lol so i cut most of it. there’s also Quite a trigger for body horror in this one though lmfao so bear that in mind<3)

“You’re going to regret this,” you add, as another lightning strike splits the sky, “but only for a very short time.”

[[And then the doors are rocked on their hinges by a series of powerful knocks…]]

A shadow seems to fall across the room, and you almost have to restrain yourself from laughing–the idea of Malkorath knocking to enter //anywhere// is utterly ludicrous, let alone a //church//. They seem to agree with you, if the loud, long-suffering sigh you can hear from outside is any indication.

“Look, I’m not knocking again. If you don’t open the doors, I’m just going to break them down.”

This causes some amount of nervous shuffling among the Inquisitors, also caught off-guard, before their leader rallies, holding up his holy symbol in the direction of the entrance.

“You shall not enter this holy place-”

Whatever the rest of what he was going to say might have been, it’s drowned out by the clamour of Malkorath crunching the great oaken doors in half like a matchstick and stomping inside. The candles are all snuffed out one by one, filling the church with darkness, and the air around you doesn’t taste so foul anymore (to you, anyway; your captor is far less impressed).

You wouldn’t have thought that Malkorath was close enough to affect you in that way yet…

“So //this// is what the inside of one of these looks like,” Malkorath muses, looking around, as they ignore the Inquisitors and casually brush an entire row of pews out of their way. “I’m not sure it’s really worth all the fuss, if I’m being honest. You still with us, $pcname?”

That question, the same one they asked you on that first day they took you to Hell, is almost enough to make you smile, despite everything.

“I’ll be better once you get me out of here,” you tell them, finding it somewhat amusing that the truth-spell agrees with you on that point, too.

“That’s what I’m here for,” Malkorath replies nonchalantly, seemingly unperturbed by the obviously aggressive intentions of the band of Inquisitors. “I have strict orders not to-”

One of the bolder of your captors lunges at Malkorath, spear outstretched, but they dodge it easily. Unfazed, the Inquisitor lifts up their own holy symbol, presenting it directly to Malkorath’s face, and you feel a twinge of worry–you don’t actually know how they’ll fare against holy magic, or if they knew they’d be facing it, coming here.

“You will burn in the light, demon filth!” the Inquisitor screams, voice shaking with holy zeal.

[[But nothing happens.]]

Malkorath’s grin is vicious and toothy as they reach out and pluck the holy symbol from the now-shaking Inquisitor’s fingers. “Will you look at that?”

A few of the others exclaim in shock and terror as the demon crushes the metal into a small, crumpled ball and tosses it aside, while their leader tries valiantly to stand his ground.

“I’ve always heard it said that the little rank-and-file murderers like you don’t have the strength to use your powers in the presence of archdemons,” Malkorath continues, huffing in amusement. “Seeing it up close is so very good for my soul, I have to say.”

An archdemon? Your heart begins to beat faster in your chest, relief filling you just like the pure, clean air that you’re now breathing. Twilit is here… and even closer nearby than Malkorath, it would seem. They came here to save you…

“I will slay you,” the lead Inquisitor is saying, his voice quavering, as he clutches tightly at the hilt of his sword, “for the glory of my god!”

Malkorath just laughs at him. “Not me, soldier boy. The archdemon is behind you.”

He whirls around at Malkorath’s words, petrified eyes jerking around the room looking for anything he might consider an archdemon, before finally alighting on something that seems to be down near your feet. Carefully, fighting against your captor’s terrified resistance to seeing what the others are staring at, you lift your head as much as you can, eventually spotting a single moth balanced delicately on the toes of your (her) booted foot, milky-white wings fluttering slightly as the air shifts.

The Inquisitor closest to you draws a hand back to swat at it at the exact same moment that the leader begins yelling at him not to touch it.

You barely even feel the blow of his hand connecting with your foot, Twilit apparently absorbing most of the force of it, and although you know Them well enough to be sure that They’re hardly in any danger, you can’t stop your stomach from lurching at the sight of the lumpy grey viscera coating his hand as he stumbles back away from you.

“Is it dead?” one of the others whispers, but you think that the anguished shriek that escapes from his lips as he falls backwards to the floor probably answers their question succinctly enough.

[[You can’t really say that you’re particularly surprised, but it IS kind of nice to have confirmation of that fact…]]

Dull grey ooze begins to spread across his hand, creeping under the sleeves of his coat, while inky black tendrils emerge underneath his skin, the palm of his hand swelling and bulging as something builds up beneath it. He screams again, fumbling for his sword with his other hand, but you can already see the black lines spreading up the sides of his neck and onto his cheeks–you don’t think him cutting off his hand would even //help// at this point.

“He’s corrupted… kill him!” the leader commands, obviously coming to the same conclusion as you, but all but three of the Inquisitors have already turned and fled.

Malkorath appears beside you while the others are distracted, ripping the manacles free from the altar beneath you just as they did the first time; the man who swatted at Twilit is now writhing on the ground as more and more bulges appear all over his body, the skin distending and slackening in some places and tightening into strange coils in others. The leader, swearing when he sees that he’s practically on his own, goes to kill the man himself, plunging his sword deep into the man’s torso, and then twice more into his stomach for good measure.

You sit up just in time to be able to see why the Inquisitors all scream in horror.

Emerging from the wound just below the heart (if the heart is even there anymore, you suppose) are fawn-skinned fingers, attached to a broad-palmed hand. A wrist follows after them, and then a forearm, the hapless man convulsing violently as Twilit reaches out from inside him, grasping at the pew beside him in the same way you would if you were trying to climb out of a deep hole, or maybe a well. Their fingers are sticky with that same grey ooze and the sloughing of blood and other fluids you’re not sure you want to think about, and the wood of the pew begins to collapse under Their touch, rotting and warping from the mere contact.

“H-how…” the lead Inquisitor manages to gasp out in between bouts of gagging, as Twilit’s other arm begins to emerge from what you think might have once been the man’s mouth.

“Ugh,” Malkorath replies from beside you, rolling their eyes. “Don’t ask Them that. They’ll //explain//!”

[[You can’t help but laugh at that. Malkorath’s not wrong…]]

“Your masters have told you that the source of My great evil comes from My envy of your perfect physical forms,” Twilit’s voice says, ringing throughout the darkened church despite the fact that you can’t see anywhere that it could be coming from. “But nothing could be further from the truth. A physical form is at best a temporary inconvenience, and at worst a prison. And if there is any essence of perfection to be found in the flesh that makes you up, it is in how extraordinarily //malleable// it is, under the right conditions.”

As if to emphasise Their point, the man’s body distends so completely that it splits open along some central seam, and They emerge from within, naked and dripping with grey and black ooze, standing up slowly as skin folds itself into more pieces of Them as though the man whose body They just were had been turned inside-out like a piece of clothing to reveal Them on the inside.

“A sculptor does not //envy// the clay from which they create.”

[damnation-if]

Do you by chance have any references for the ROs faces ? Like art, ai created (like Artbreeder), or irl faceclaims?

Asking for doodle reasons : )

i do have a couple of faceclaims, but i'd like to stress that most of them aren't intended to be... direct representations as such. partially because some of the ROs' faces are varying degrees of inhuman due to wacky skin colours or horns or such and partially because of gender selectability in the case of some of them. and also I'm just not married firmly to many of them and only really look to them occasionally for vibes/inspiration. but i'll pass them on anyway! (under a cut for Images)

the closest thing to Official art i have (i'd love to have one for every character but it's not really in the cards for now unfortunately lol) is this gorgeous piece of Arianis done by my beloved friend, which we consulted back and forth about a bit as they were making it... you may all now applaud their incredible talents 😌

next is Twilit; there's some information on various nonhumanoid aspects in this post, but I'll repost my vague faceclaim here as well:

i went into as much detail as i could do without developing magical art skills myself about Malkorath in this post; this particular faceclaim is probably the least detail-accurate one that i have, but i still keep it in my mind (and sometimes look at it while writing lmao) because the Expression is *chef's kiss* pure Malkorath flavour. THIS is the Exact expression you can expect to see looking at Malkorath's face at any given moment XD

the closest thing i could find to how i conceptualise Lithiana's face is probably someone like Kate Hudson... bright and bubbly essentially though again it's not a perfect representation.

i also had trouble finding someone for Heluur as most actors don't have particularly Soft features lmao. the best example i could really find was someone sort of like Jude Law, particularly in a movie like the Holiday where his character is quite soft also.

and... unfortunately i don't really have anything that i feel represents my mental image of Suchebh. however that might potentially be a good thing in a way since beauty is subjective and they're really supposed to be. Hauntingly beautiful haha... maybe it's Best to leave them in particular up to artistic interpretation. sorry if it's a bummer though 😔

i hope this helps! it would be easier if i had real life demons to choose from i suppose lmao

[damnation-if]

so i plan on making a MC for each sin/RO (i do this every time im a whore) so i was wondering, which Sin would each RO be the most attracted to?

hm, this is sort of a rough one because i've never. assigned any kind of weight to the sin choices outside of extra skin colour options and story choices... also because there's seven "sin" options and only 6 ROs lmao. i did at one point try matching up each RO with a background choice that they would most relate with but even that was a bit rough and they often overlapped...

Arianis - the Transience origin (family of travelling entertainers)

Heluur - the Isolation origin (living with your aunt in the forest)

Lithiana - the Peril origin (younger brother is a mercenary)

Malkorath - the Hunger origin (grew up as an orphan on the streets)

Suchebh - the Eclipsal origin (overshadowed by your older sister)

Twilit - the Rigidity origin (ran away from a strict monastic community)

i hope that helps! there really isn't much weight at all put into the various sin aspects with regard to the ROs, it's mostly just for cc and background story stuff i'm afraid :)

[damnation-if]

Can’t wait to be an adorable/sexy demon. Also question how would the ros react if there weren’t any seats so mc sat on the ros lap like they belonged there?

I’m sorry if this is worded weird my English is not great.

no worries, your english is great! i'm glad you're enjoying the game! as for the lap-sitting question...

Arianis - in all situations other than when they're trying to play their lute, they'd be highly pleased with this. if they are playing their lute they'd probably be exasperated... you can Maybe try to cajole them into playing it around you, but it'd be tough XD

Heluur - depends on how much pain he's in on any given day (i'm assuming mc obviously won't want to hurt him lmao) but on a good day he's more than happy to make a little surface out of his tail for mc to sit on!

Lithiana - she'd immediately put her arms around mc and be happy to stay that way!

Malkorath - they'd probably be surprised, and a little embarrassed if you were in public. then they'd end up going very still, to avoid accidentally hurting you by tipping you off without meaning to or something haha

Suchebh - prepare to wrestle for who gets to sit on whom 😌 if you win, expect lots of playing with your hair/clothes/wings/tail/etc. and a hand on your thigh XD

Twilit - catch them sitting first! they're probably too busy doing other things lmao

[damnation-if]

Welp, I guess I just stumbled into this and now have an adorable, lazy batdemon OC lol. I love the demo so far and can't wait to see more and/or to be a massive slut! One important question for us sloth demons though, how much do our ROs like cuddling in bed?

haha, welcome! i'm glad you enjoyed it! as far as cuddling in bed goes, the ROs ranked from most to least comfortable with it go:

Suchebh > Malkorath > Lithiana > Arianis > Twilit (with Heluur on a sort of sliding scale ranging from 4th to last depending on how bad of a pain day he's having)

if Suchebh could get away with it, they'd NEVER leave a bed full of lovers... unfortunately they have to engage in things like leadership and politics, eugh. once they like someone enough, Malkorath really enjoys being Close, and Lithiana is at what i guess i would describe as a "casual enjoyment of cuddling" level interest in it. Arianis is pretty ambivalent - they don't mind it, but it's not something they'd miss either, whereas Twilit will probably get bored if it goes on for a while. emotionally Heluur would love to be able to cuddle all the time and "lying down next to each other" is something he really enjoys but sometimes it's hard to relax into a cuddling mood if it hurts too much.

[damnation-if]

What's something that makes the ROs completely lose their heads the MC does in bed? The moaning, the soft touches, the adoring gaze, etc? One little gesture that sends them over the edge.

i debated on whether or not to answer this one for a while because i worry about. making the actual scenes in the game obsolete by giving too much away but. i Think this one won't spoil too much haha

Arianis - something that they appreciate when it comes to the mc is not being treated like they're delicate and breakable just because they're mortal. they like it a little rough, but most of the demons are afraid of going too far lmao

Heluur - there's already a bunch of trust barriers mc has to get past to get to the point of having intercourse with him, but probably anything that conveys devotion would be a very big deal for him, lice mc being clingy/determined to make eye contact or stuff like that

Lithiana - she's definitely a fan of "can't keep our hands off each other" sex... she likes to be touched, and also to know that mc is happy to be there and desires her

Malkorath - they definitely get more flustered the more deliberate attention they're paid. anything particularly personal, including using their name, has a good chance of making their brain melt out their ears lmao

Suchebh - they are a big fan of anything that reminds them that mc is (or was) a human, especially invoking the gods lmao. not only do they get a thrill from the blasphemy but it also reminds them how unique mc is, one-of-a-kind, and yet choosing to spent time with them.

Twilit - i don't know if i'd say there's anything specific that interests them more than anything else; for them it's more about. the Process. finding out the correlation between action and outcome, what things make the mc make certain noises, etc. Scientific Inquiry but make it sexy

Does this world have a Valentine’s analog? And if so how would the ROs like to spend it (🔨🐕 I’m ready to bonk some demons & a warlock if I need to btw)?

there isn't a analogue specifically to Valentine's Day, but there is one to what is more or less the OG version, Beltane (also known as/folded into May Day, because it takes place on May 1st in the northern hemisphere, though it ironically enough falls on October 31st here in the southern hemisphere lmao). nobody really knows where the tradition came from, but the rumour is that Heart's Rule (the festival in question) and Moon's Shadow (the Samhain analogue) are the two holiest holidays in the Warp, and were taught to humanity by the elves, fairies, satyrs and centaurs who live there.

for obvious reasons the gods don't look terribly kindly on celebrating that sort of thing so in the cities/under the watchful eye of the church the most you'll usually get is fancy themed parties. proposals and marriages are common and indeed fashionable around that time because it's thought that the gods will favour you with luck in romantic endeavours at that time of year, even though there's no specific deity of love or other relationships.

the further you get away from the cities however, the more the festival takes on an element of... bacchanalian excess. you should always be careful celebrating Heart's Rule out in the country though! on a night like that, who can say if your lovely dance partner and their seductive eyes are even human...

as for how the ROs would like to spend it (assuming that they're in a relationship with mc) (under the cut because long lmao):

Arianis prefers the high society balls to the more rowdy parties, surprisingly - it's not that they don't like the revelry, but they tend to attract the attention of too many jilted spouses. taking mc to a fancy costume party and seeing how many betrothals and noble marriages the pair can ruin in one night would honestly be the Highlight of their year lmao

Heluur is not particularly big on parties, for a number of reasons (hard to travel to them, for one thing, and Loud, for another), but he would find the idea of mc choosing to spend time with him on that day very romantic. probably his ideal Heart's Rule night is a quiet night in together, maybe observing some particularly wild hijinks that his friends are getting up to on the chaos mirrors. if you tell him that giving chocolates is traditional, he Will acquire some for your mc, even if the gods only know how.

Lithiana is very happy to throw a party of any kind for any reason, though she'd prefer to keep it in Hell for reasons of not freezing to death or being hunted down by angry Inquisitors. the good thing about that is that demons REALLY know how to cut loose at a party, and they're less liable to accidentally hurt each other than carousing humans (or at least more likely to survive if they do). planning something fun for everyone to do together with mc would make her really happy.

Malkorath is another not-party person; their ideal way to celebrate would be to spend the whole day totally alone with mc, but they don't particularly care what they'd be doing. they DEFINITELY want chocolates though... on this And every other day haha.

Suchebh is kind of ambivalent about Heart's Rule, to be honest. most of the stuff that everyone is indulging in is kind of their ordinary MO already, and it's a bit. Weird for them, the idea of showing up to a party for Someone Else's booze and sex festival. where's THEIR big party huh?? on any given year they're most likely to spend the evening sulking and instructing their warlocks to cause havoc, but their ideal way to spend it would probably be. something centred around them. and if they're lucky, something that can make them totally forget it's happening lmao.

Twilit is not Ordinarily a party kind of person, but they're in a friend-of-a-friend kind of situation with The Horned King who rules over the Warp, so Heart's Rule and Moon's Shadow are their two exceptions, though they prefer to celebrate both of them in the Warp with him. they'd be more than happy to take mc with them... though it's sure to be an extremely wild night.

i hope that helps answer your question!
