“Um... hey, Sunil? So there’s this thing I’ve been thinking about doing a lot, and I’d really like you to be with me when I go.... It’s really personal. I would say, ‘I need you,’ but I can’t physically. But I wish I needed you. Does that make sense? Am I making sense? I’m pretty nervous, can you tell?”

Skuld was not the type of individual to give up easily once she had set her mind on a goal. Even less so when it came to her duties. It was up to her to keep her people safe from any threats, and as such, she considered her studies to be an extension on these duties.

It was no secret that Völsung was a bit behind when it came to their technology, especially after that little history lesson her sister had greenlit. Before where she felt a certain leisure in taking classes, there was now a pressure to ensure she could provide the best findings possible. This was where the frustrations began to mount.

She'd made the decision to pay her professor a visit outside of class, hoping to clear up some of her confusions. Her entrance was prefaced with a gentle knock, and her posture was nothing short of rigid as she stepped into the room.

"Professor, I hope I am not taking up too much of your time, but I am experiencing some difficulties with the material that I was wondering if you could assist me in clearing up." As always, her tone was even and measured, doing her best to not betray her hesitation.

Evergreen Basin. As far as Fumiko was concerned, coming here was akin to walking into the lion's den. But risks would have to be taken, especially now that she was running out of leads to follow. She entered the building confidently, heading straight for the desk.

"I'm here for the tournament sign-ups." Straight to business. She didn't want to linger here for longer than needed.

An Old Grudge

Cal rested on his cane and looked up at the dizzying skyscraper that made up Ciar Tower- the tallest building in the city.

And Cain was at the top. “You’re really gonna force my hand here, huh? Keep everyone else busy and call me out because you wanted a rematch.”

“Fine.” He dropped his coat to the floor and started to unlatch the hook from his arm, then the leg. As he fell, a bright flash of light. sprouted from him, starting from his missing eye and trailing along the scars. An arm and a leg formed in their place.

“Former bounty hunter, then a former templar. Funny thing about the templars, though.”

“We’re all awakeners, and I’ve been holding onto this for a long time.” As he rose, the light around him formed a pair of wings and a luminescent scythe. In a streak, he rose into the air as fast as his power would take him. Then he crashed onto the roof in a burst.

“CAIN!”

Depending on how high ranking a client was when working with the Bundles of Lavender they were typically given options on where they would like their appointment to take place, it wasn’t when clients were given the choice to pick their own homes. 

Nava bid her driver farewell, letting them know that she would call give them a call when she was ready to be picked up. Personally, she would have preferred to have the appointment at her home studio, venturing out of Cherry Hills without a companion left her stomach twisting in a mess of anxieties. Still, she maintained her steady demeanor as she adjusted the bag over her shoulder before venturing into the building. After speaking to the receptionist she was allowed to ascend to the appropriate floor, truthfully she was surprised by how nice the building was. 

“....” She paused in front of the door, double checking her bag to make sure she had brought along all the appropriate materials, the last thing she needed to do was give any reason to doubt her position. Once confirming she had everything she finally knocked on the door.

Thought I’d draw a scene from a recent RP I’m writing with @apricusnights

It’s just so cute, I had to. Catboy is my OC Night, the girl is Blek’s OC Cerise.

Puck woke with a groan, putting a hand to his head. It wasn’t the worst hangover he’d ever had, but it was enough to be disorienting. Pairing that with the unexpected feel of Sunil’s bed, with no sign of Sunil around, and not knowing where his shades or goggles were in relation to him. Good news, he knew he was home and could tell it was Sunil’s bed by scent and feel, so that was somewhat comforting. He could recall what happened at the hotel though things got fuzzy after he met back up with Sunil. Obviously they’d gotten home safely, and he vaguely remembered talking a lot....

He took a moment to breathe before rolling over to start feeling around for his goggles or shades, trying to be quiet about it. Eventually, he was able to find the clothes he’d worn last night and thankfully the shades were close by. He put them on and sighed in relief, then crawled back into the bed. “... I should probably get up....” Puck shook his head at himself and forced himself out of bed, hobbling out of the room to look for anyone else and get some water.

“Heya~. We’re just stopping by to pick up some stolen things. Do you happen to have a recovered wallet? It’s leather, has a blue crest on the front that looks like a sun?”

“They took my earring, and one of the badges from my coat. I had some medals there. Not that they’re real, but they were bloody expensive.... The earring's got a feather on it.”

Sun stood behind them, arms crossed with a wide smirk. “Oh, I didn’t lose anything, I just wanted to watch them try to get their stuff back. And this guy,” he pat Sage’s shoulder, “just needed to get out a little. We’ll be quiet.”

“You get pissy about going out to parties, but this is fun for you?”

“Shhhh, quiet.”

“Just Hugo’s fine. ... Ya know, I’m getting pretty tired of hearing about the ‘recent situation.’ It was a one-time mistake. I was tryin’ ta make a point, it went over Kay-Kay’s head and I almost died from it. I fucked up, I get that. But it’s not like I’m runnin’ around challenging every pleb off the street to a fight to the death. In fact, it wasn’t even my fuckin’ idea! I didn’t think he’d really go through with it. Again, my bad.”

“... What happened to me doing the talking?”

“Look, bro, it’s my fuck-up. If you got a shot at seeing Calere, I don’t wanna fuck it up for you tryna defend me. I gotta deal with the consequences.”

“Free rides?! Hell yeah! Sunil, we going? You going? I wanna go. I could technically go by myself, but that’s just sad, in my opinion. Let’s go relax, have fun!”

Leiko took to the stage, striking a pose as the music started up. She wore a loose, light top that covered her entire torso. As the music played, she began sauntering down the runway with a sly smirk. The song’s intro ended as she reached the far end of the runway, and when the rest of the instruments came in, she dramatically opened up the top revealing her suit.

It was a black bikini, the top having thick straps around her back and neck, and an intricate lattice of threads crossing over her chest. The sides of the bottoms were connected by a series of silver rings. Simple, but elegant.

She danced along with the song, pulling off her cover entirely and tossing it to the crowd. She had an entire performance choreographed it seemed. She moved her arms up and around, ghosting across her body while she shook and twisted her hips. It struck an unusual balance of cute and sensual that she was sure would get any of her fans in the crowd worked up.

As the song closed, she struck one more pose, running her hand through her hair. She held it for a few moments before smiling widely and blowing a kiss to the audience and taking her leave.

Guilty Gear -Strive- OST - The Kiss of Death

[I went ahead and chose Orion for this because I feel like I've underutilized him thus far, but yeah.

This song does a great job of getting across his character. The dark, driving riffs work well with the sense of inevitability that follows him. Once his target is decided on, they're generally already as good as dead.

The lyrics are also really good, from, "I don't have to think about it/ What we need to do is clear/ Don't you think?" in the first verse, to the second verse's, "When I'm ordered to/ I'll do anything./ I want to keep it that way," and of course the ending of the chorus, "Who do you think I am?/ The kiss of death."

It just really emanates the vibe of someone who knows where his place in the world is, and will stop at nothing to do his part, no questions asked.]

The large mech crashed into the ground as an equally massive foot smashed onto the chest of it. Cassandra could hear nothing but beeps and sirens followed by a crunching noise above her. She wanted to reach for the controls but smacking the back of her head against her seat had robbed her of which way was up. She tried to grasp and claw at the controls to find an arm. One only barely managed to move before it was unresponsive. A screen she could only barely make out said it had been blown off.

Helosian General Dunstan Baskerville surveyed the devastation around him. Solis Heights stood, but this street was largely in rubble. He would change that when he was done here. This was ground for nobility. The rest of these rabble and cultists defiled it with their presence. He would cleanse this place soon. “Launch it.”

The mech rose up and a missile shot into the air. It would need time to find an appropriate spot to land, but when it did, it would annihilate everything around it.

“Peasants of the Apricus Province!” The mech’s speaker bellowed. “You defile the land of your betters by being here! Rest assured any who remain here will be killed! To begin your new role as an example to the rest of your ilk, I will start with that eyesore you call a temple!”

The Knight: General Dunstan Baskerville

While the massive robot was getting closer, Jaime couldn’t help but star at the shooting star going up into the sky. “I’m not the only one who sees that right?” He asks, his voice quivering. “Lord Merek... it’s heading for your temple!”

Jamie brought up his aShine and just screamed. “If anyone can hear me there is a missile heading into Solis Heights! I-I know everyone just heard that anyway but Lord Merek is here! He’s going to do something about it! But everyone, please, GET TO SAFETY!”

A garbled snarl came over the connection.

“Do what you can. I am coming to you.”

With an absence of quite a few theater members having left on the Kwailai trip and in-between shows, it left Méline with far too much free time for her liking. She really needed to get more hobbies that weren't work, though it was hard not to find her way to the Evergreen Theater.

Initially she had gone through her house organizing and getting through some general spring cleaning, though there was only so much she could do in her studio apartment. Which was what led her to her desicion to organize the costume room.

"Jasper," She had noticed the presence only from the faint creek of the floorboard near the room’s entrance. It was unlikley that it was anything, but intentional. "How smart do you think Night is?" She asked tentatively, as she continued to separate a costume and fold it properly.
