@alllll-aboard

Send 🎉 for our muses to attend a Halloween party together

Was this futzing? Pecha thinks as she messes with her hair for the twentieth time that afternoon. It was getting closer to the time Emmet said he’d pick her up and she was starting to get nervous. She stared at herself in the mirror.

Was being a witch too…bland? She had tried to spin her own twist on it. The pumkin berry theme clearly showed through-

Ding-dong

She jumps at the sound of the doorbell, messing with her short skirt for another last second fix, before grabbing her purse and walking quickly to the apartment door and opening it.

“Emmet, hey!” She greets.

HI MIDNIGHT :D how are you doing? i have to catch up on everything you've written since. Literally november! do you have any personal favorites you think i should start with :D

HI HAZEL!!!! Good to hear from you, i'm doing pretty well actually :) I hope you are too <333

as for my recent writings, oof that's a toughy, really depends on what you're interested in atm!

If you're looking for something long-form, He's a Little Confused but He's Got the Holiday Spirit would be a good start! It's a holiday au piece for Confused Spirit that's half-done currently (working on finishing it up soon oof) but i really enjoy it because it's basically getting to write a quicker version of Confused Spirit (to an extent, personalities are the same but many goals & such for characters are not)

I also updated Confused Spirit (one chapter, i don't wanna talk about it >_<) and it was a lovely Moon chapter I'm very proud as i was deathly ill while writing it (yay sinus infection!!!)

In terms of oneshots, if you want something angsty I'd recommend 'Restart' which is a continuation of day 29 of promptober (if you've not read that yet i'd do that first ^^) I very much had fun with that addition and would love to write more for it sometime

December was alllll fluffy stuff, but if I had to pick one (or two) requests out of the ones I did to start with (they were all lovely and fun though) I would choose either Mistletoe Mishaps (OFF! au piece) or All Aboard (fae! au piece) as both fed into some fav aus of mine ^^

Coming up I'll have some Valetine's requests that'll be posted soon (mix of fluff and angst and so on), along with some more prompt pieces based on @/divinit3a's cafe prompts! I've been having a lot of fun with both so far so can't necessarily recommend anything in specific :)

So tl,dr;

Angst, horror, hurt no comfort, etc:

Promptober

Restart One-Shot

Long-form content:

Ch. 35 of He's a Little Confused but He's Got the Spirit

He's a Little Confused but He's Got the Holiday Spirit

Fluffy Cute Stuff:

Secret Valentine's:

I have three events i'm participating in this year and will be doing writing for all three I believe :) Will post them all on Feb 14th!

Everything save for the cafe prompt stories are also on my ao3! I just did the tumblr links for some because they were quicker hehe, hope you have fun with whatever you decide to get into first!!

[holds out arms for a hug but doesn’t move in for one because in this house we respect personal boundaries]

Okay, legitimately. I’m sorry. You can call me old, too, as a jab-back if you want. You get a freebie.

You okay?

….?

Emmet says you won’t give him one of the Ghost concert shirts???

-Goth Anon

I told him about the concert and he responded with:

"Careful Grampa, don't break your hip."

I don't think he deserves one now.

Redraw of @alllll-aboard and @gearstationsubwaybossingo ‘s icons since it’s been like a year and my art has drastically changed since then

[shade-e-e-es]

I thought about Zedeath a few months ago and wrote something in a frenzy so have it

Sad thing, really, dying. It happens to a lot of people, including you! As that’s the only possible way one would ever view this tape.

Yes, when you got to the station an attendant inserted the vhs, hit rewind, waited a few agonizing minutes, then hit play. And now we’re here!

Before the informative tape truly begins: Sorry, there really isn’t a kinder way to tell you you’ve died. However! I can in fact make what comes next a liiiittle better. Or, well, easier to navigate.

Welcome, to the whole being dead thing! With your host!

…

Zedaph?

Yes! That’s right! Zedaph! We had to update our tapes and the old host well. He’s living inside Joe Hills body. Which sounds odd! But if you know Joe Hills, it really isn’t. (Though the Jhost rhymes much better in the intro than Zedaph.)

Before your train arrives I’m going to give you a run down on how the afterlife works to make your travel a lot less confusing, and a little more exciting! How’s that you may ask? I’m going to lead you through all possible routes, and send you on your way to let fate choose where you end up!

Now.

YOU ARE HERE!

I had to yell it because that’s how the map wrote it. My apologies.

But you are here, in the train station. I know, rather crowded. And honestly looks a bit more like a subway than a train station but who cares! You’re dead!

Now, this is akin to a… a purgatory. You want a chance to be brought back be it by way of communication, false gods, forced reincarnation, zombifying, skelefying, second coming, etc. you will stay here. But be warned! Time moves much, much much much faster here than it did on earth. And if you stay you’ll possibly be here for hundreds and thousands of years before anything happens, and you’ll just have to deal with my lovely, lovely voice until then! Over and over as these tapes keep playing! And even then it’s not guaranteed you’ll be returned to your old self! So make sure you have a way out before you wait thousands of years for naught!

For those who have accepted their fate, you need not wait too long to get this over! Once an hour on the hour a train will appear on the tracks. No you can’t double die by jumping in front of it. Yes I’ve tried, just to see what would happen. You bounce off and honestly it’s a bit fun but the conductors will get mad at you. Unless it’s Yuuki. Lovely miss.

The trains travel to all of the afterlife, taking you from near the living realm alllll the way to the darkest depths of the universe. (Don’t go there, hear it’s awfully cold this time of year.) Each train comes with its own driver, chat them up! Ask about their hobbies! Being dead is a lonely job! (For example: Yuuki loves trains. Dream job alert!!)

You’ll enter the train and find a seat. Don’t worry! There’s plenty of space for you here! Each train extends for forever once you climb aboard, pick a seat and watch the scenery go by!

After you take your seat, you’ll be taken to our second stop, the judging.

Basically: we’re on the lookout for anyone with a spirit crime under their belt. If you have an outstanding warrant for your ghost arrest that should have arrived in the mail before your passing. If you never got a letter, no need to fear! You won’t be arrested. Yay!! No ghost jail for you!

After we’re clear of any criminals, we lead to the Judging. (Capital J, very different!)

This is where you choose your afterlife! If you want it to be chosen for you, you can let your soul be weighed to get a chance to go to a very wonderful place I like to call Mr cloud faces puffy fluffy dance party. Christians call it heaven. On the opposite end of that coin toss is Hell. Or as I call it: Hell.

(Sidebar real quick, some people get Hell confused with Hels, and while they’re similar, Hels is a dimension that holds the warped you, or your Hels, a being with only the worst parts of you. Hell is about as hot as Arizona with less hot dads and more old people.)

But if you’re not a fan of chance, there’s other options to choose from!

Reincarnation: choose to become something new! You’ll lose the memories of this run and be sent back to earth as someone new, you’ll only retrieve those memories when you return here. Keep in mind while it sounds great, your loved ones may be waiting for you elsewhere. Just keep it in mind. Oh! And you can also be born as just about anything that can breathe. You know what that means? Aw, man!

Over here is the neutral zone. Not heaven or hell but a third option. It’s just kinda chill honestly. Either you were perfectly neutral in your good or bad balance OR you don’t want to live in the dance party or hell flames. It’s just average.

This here is a place not many go to. It’s your choice to surrender your time back to the universe.

Life essence is fragile. It is strange. No one has figured how it works. But it’s necessary. It’s everywhere. It’s beautiful.

If you’re tired. If you’re done. If you’ve done this a million times and just want to be finished? This door is here. Rest well my friend. Remember, you are the universe. You are love.

That or you could gamble with a reaper for your life back! Yes! We have a room for this! It’s simple. Game of choice. Play it. Win or lose. Either go home or choose another door. Please choose this if you’d like I have so much fun with card games Tango taught me this neat trick with the car-

Oh gods I’m getting told to hurry THERES HUNDREDS OF OPT-

Uhm..! Sorry about that! Carrying on!

If you have a place you were looking forward too after death, be it a wish for religious places or haunting or anything of the sort, there’s a way there. Once you reach your conclusion and get your ticket, go back to the train, check where you’re heading, get off at your station.

And trust me, no one minds if you aren’t ready to get off the train yet. Eternity is a very long time. It’s daunting. If you aren’t ready, stay seated. Have another go around the track, have as many as you need. Our ferry is free.

Now. Your train will be arriving here soon. Listen to it chugging down the tracks!

And remember!

The universe says, I love you.

The universe says, you have played the game well.

The universe says, everything you need is within you.

The universe says, you are stronger than you know.

The universe says, you are the daylight.

The universe says, you are the night.

The universe says, the darkness you fight is within you.

The universe says, the light you seek is within you.

The universe says, you are not alone.

The universe says, you are not separate from every other thing.

The universe says, you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code.

The universe says, I love you, because you are love.

Here comes the train now, my friends, have a good rest of the end of your life!

[blackjackkent]

Alllll righty. Time to learn why A Warden's Best Friend is a point of no return. XD [cracks knuckles]

And time to meet Antoine and Evka! I'm excited about this; almost everyone I know who played Veilguard has spoken very highly of them. :3

We're headed for the High Anderfels, to which we don't yet have an Eluvian, so back into the Crossroads we go, for another boat ride with the Caretaker!

"Are you one spirit who moves around?" Helena asks as she climbs aboard. "Or different spirits who all look the same?"

"As needed, dweller," the Caretaker intones mysteriously, which is unhelpful.

"...Right."

This area of the Crossroads, labeled "Heights of Athim", is clearly cold as balls, and has some griffon statues, which seems apropos.

There's also darkspawn, and blight, which seems very concerning in an area that is clearly already keyed to the Grey Wardens.

One of the darkspawn dropped this, which is sort of upsetting:

Cute banter between Bellara and Neve as we go wandering around:

Bellara: I can't believe you found the end to my serial. The poison was inside the ring! Neve: Glad it worked out. Bellara: It did! Well, not for the poison drinker. But he'd murdered the neighbor's cat. So for the cats... Bellara: Anyway, Rook was right! Happily ever after. Neve: Can't keep the two of you down. Neve: And when you don't read the sequels, those endings stick. Bellara: There's a sequel? Have you read it? Neve: No, but trust me: tragedy sells in Minrathous. More story? Better chance things go sideways.

There's definitely some weird side passages in the Crossroads that I have not yet taken time to explore:

But for now we press on following the main quest, which leads us through a blight wall and to another eluvian!

Here we go!

…I lied, I’m elaborating.

You’re Funny Ray Man™️ Papa Copia because you’re a lovable goofball but also weirdly sexy in a way no one can properly pinpoint.

[hungover, eating cinnamon toast very, very slowly and listening to Square Hammer]

@alllll-aboard has Papa Copia vibes and @gearstationsubwaybossingo has Papa Secondo vibes.

No, I will not elaborate.

62. one muse calms the other from an intense rage

@alllll-aboard

(I can see Emmet being on a rampage and pecha hugging him go help calm him down)

She hadn’t seen the whole argument between Emmet and the unruly passenger. Only the end of it where Emmet almost snapped and lunged at the person. Luckily, Pecha had jumped in front of him in time while a nearby Depot Agent dragged away the other.

With the passenger gone, Pecha’s arms loosen around Emmet’s waist but still hug around him. Her eyes trail upwards, studying his face. She’s never seen him so heated and he still looked like he was steaming…

“Are you okay?” Her voice comes out even softer than she means to. Not afraid, but concerned.

[timelord-emmet]

Chapter 10

Needless to say Emmet is high on excitement on finally getting progress and completing Mesprite trial so he wasted no time at all to get to Lake Valor . Thankfully though they did stop after a few hours of rushing halfway through the region panting and huffing as the Conductor sits down taking a sip of his water bottle and watching as Mr.Looker finally catches up.

Mr-huff-Mr Emmet ....y-you...agh....” the Agent sighs grabbing the outstretched bottle Emmet worldlesly hands to him and taking a drink himself while Mesprite happily hugs the Conductor themself puffed out with trying to keep up with him.

>On the bright side your half way there < the pokémon muses as she taps his head .

Emmet chuckles “Sorry sorry , I am Emmet i’m easily excited as my brother would say!” he grins happily

Agent Looker groans -That’s fine and all....but you must pace yourself Mr.Emmet....let’s take this time to uh rest our engines ?- he suggests adding some train lingo which gets him a amused look from the other , the Conductor standing up and leaning towards the other making them flinch afraid he might over stepped .

-u-um-

“You are correct! a hour of rest then we shall continue on to our set destination ! hehe!” he giggles a bit still high on excitement as he boops Looker on the nose laughing joy for the first time in awhile at the others reaction.

The Agent decides not to comment further and sits down and pull some fruit from his pocket eating it and handing another fruit to the over hyperactive conductor next to him who happily shares it with Sprit.

Once the rest hour was up Emmet promptly jumped up from his spot rubbing his hands on his pants getting rid of the juice residue then points his famous pose once more down the trail toLake Valor.

“Next stop Lake Valor ! Alllll Aboard!!!” then promptly starts marching full speed ahead again with Looker quickly following .

A sense of foreboding crawls up the Agents spine having a unceasing feeling about their next stop , glancing around Looker thinks as he feels a presence though can’t seem to find a source to such a presence .

——////////////

Time skip

//////:::::://////

Entering the cave the Subway Master looks around , Sprit letting go and seeming to float above and stay by the cave entrance , Looker following a bit closer to the conductor looking around as well.

“Hello? I am Emmet and i’m here for Azelf! Please show yourself so i may take your trial !”The conductor calls

There’s silence for a few mins after his announcement then a flash as the blue lake pokemon appears looking dow. at the other curiously head tilted in question.

< You wish to partake my trial?> they ask <Why?>

Emmet smiles up at the Guardian “ To find my brother ! i already passed your sibling Mesprite trial! I have no doubt i’ll pass yours!”

he states proudly in full confidence and maybe some cockiness.

Azelf’s eyes narrow curiously at his attitude thinking over what the man said, Agent Looker behind him shifts nervously at the look the pokémon gives Emmet seeming to contemplate such cockiness and clearly sees a challange .

<Confident one aren’t you? Very well you may take my trial> the pokémon finally answers floating away from him and suddenly multiple walls of pick light appear in front of the two humans .

<Show me unyielding will! Pass through if you can!>

Emmet grins eyes set in determination he grips the brim of his hat and starts marching foward.

“As you wish!”

The subway Master blinks as he passes easily through the first wall of psychic energy , while very minor at first the feeling of the wall that seems to gently try to push him backwards felt like a mild wind on a cool day , intresting veeerry intresting he thinks as he walks passthe 1st barrier with ease then the second though the 3rd is where it starts to actually get difficult.

The push from the psychic energy feels like being bounced off a trampoline stunning him for a second but he quickly powers on putting more effort in as he feels like he walks through jello solidifying , reaching the fourth barrier is when a splitting headache strikes through his mind making him yell out , hearing the muffled voice of Agent Looker calling to him.

he grits his teeth “ I am Emmet, i’m fine!” he calls out opening his eyes not realising he closed them in the first place , he looks up towards Azelf who looks a bit smug and he narrows his eyes , takes a breath and pushes through the fourth wall.

His smile strained and wobbly, head pounding at such intense psychic energy trying to force him back physically and mentally, hair frazzled as the artificial wind from such becomes stronger.

Emmets breath stutters and shakes as he keeps pushing and pushing not giving up inching his way through as fear of lifting his foot off the ground to far might make him slip, he finally passes the fifth barrier and inches to the sixth , panting , Emmet notices that his vision is starting to blur at the edges and he feels something wet drip down his face, is he crying? Honestly he might be with the dam splitting headache pounding through his mind , his hand trembles still having a tight grip on his hat , with his other hand he raises it towards the last barrier determined to pass through.

Muffled yelling barely reaches him before his finger tips touch the last barrier then suddenly the intense pressure is lifted and he gasps as he lurches foward stumbling before balancing himself out panting he looks up at Azelf who seems surprised yet impressed.

he grins sharply blood running down his nose,ah that’s what the wetness he felt was, he lifts his hand to his face rubbing his nose.

Azelf hums

<Impressive.....take my fang to fulfill your will>

A fang appears in psychic energy floating down to the Conductor who grins ready to take it when suddenly a new unfamiliar voice cuts through the cave.

THE FUCK WAS THAT!?

Emmet and Looker freeze and turn to the newcomer, the subway Master being tired,in pain still from a headache and maybe a tad light headed gives a dangerous smile as he grins at the teenager.

“Heeeeeelloooo~ Who are you~?”

he sing songs while Mr.Looker quickly chastises him as the teenager literally screams in fear at the Subway Master.

Pecha and Emmet selfie I did for my rps on my rp blog @bugsandberries with @alllll-aboard
