#arthur and vivi friendship

[armoricaroyalty]

November, 2017. Thanks to public interest in its youngest members, the Armorican royal family is riding high on a wave of unprecedented popularity. Support for the monarchy is at all-time high, but life under the microscope could push them to the limit…

Previous | Chapter Start | Beginning | Chapter 4

Crown Princess Rosalind asks her father, Andre, King of the Armoricans for permission to propose to her girlfriend, Mary Yokoyama. Andre accedes to the match, and an elated Rosalind carries her joy into a meeting with her best friend/professional underling Theo Adams (who is also her younger brother's ex). From Theo, Rosalind learns that she is the subject of a new book by famed royal journalist Kristina Greene.

Meanwhile, Prince Frederick and his girlfriend Lady Emily are staying in Uspana and aiding in preparations for the Armorican's upcoming state visit. Emily is eager to become engaged, but Freddy is distracted by his frustrations with his family, particularly his younger brother, Prince Jacques.

Jacques has pulled out of the trip last-minute, but his wife, Vivienne, Duchess of Laye is still attending. He berates her for her clothing choices as she prepares with the trip, and the argument culminates in an incidence of physical violence, the first in their marriage.

Things are similarly strained between Andre and Queen Elise. Andre is planning to use the Uspanian trip to spend time with his mistress, Leonor Reyes, a princess of Uspana. Elise delivers an ultimatum: if Andre does not end his relationship with Leonor, she will file for divorce. Shaken but unable to defend his actions, Andre spends the night alone.

After arriving in Uspana, Vivi strikes up a conversation with the charming Julian Reyes, grandson of the formidable Queen Beatriz of Uspana. While Julian's uncle, Crown Prince Arnaut, scolds him for engaging in a dangerous flirtation with a married woman, Andre meets with Beatriz who suggests that he abdicate.

That night, the families convene for a formal state dinner, followed by a dance. Freddy and Emily share a tender moment on the dance floor while Vivi and Julián dance and flirt, deepening their attraction. Andre attempts to council Rosalind about the seriousness of her position and her relationship with Mary, but she grow suspicious when he begins to speak regretfully of the mistakes he has made in his relationship with her mother.

Andre and Leonor retreat to his room and have an intimate moment while Rosalind calls Mary, who is in Aducia, tracking down Freddy's ex-girlfriend Kelly Farrier and her young son, Arthur Farrier. Having illicitly secured a DNA sample for a paternity test, Mary is due to join the rest of the Armoricans in Uspana.

The next day, Freddy has a meeting with Theo. The two tour the museum exhibit he worked to create and rekindle their friendship, ending on a playful, affectionate note. Mary, meanwhile, is ambushed by the paparazzi at the airport -- someone has leaked news of her relationship with Rosalind and the sordid details of her first marriage, which ended with the mysterious disappearance of her still-missing husband. Pursued by the press, she flees to the safety of Nakawe palace, where she takes refuge with Rosalind. The two agree to an engagement but decide that they must find a "bigger story" to bury the scandalous story about Mary's past. The couple meet with Freddy and Emily, urging him to propose to divert media attention away from themselves. Freddy is reluctant, but ultimately decides to propose after a heart-to-heart with his father. Emily accepts, and the couple announce their engagement to the delight of the nation.

Mary and Rosalind attend their first public event as a confirmed couple, but most of the media focus remains on Freddy and Emily. Leonor persuades Andre not to veto the couple's relationship. After a false start, Vivi and Julián act on their attraction and have sex in her hotel suite.

The next morning is the Armoricans' final day in Uspana. Leonor and Andre part on a melancholy note, unsure when they will see one another again.

After returning to Armorica, Theo ends her relationship with line cook Rob Lewis. He goes to a bar to drown his sorrows and drunkenly agrees to an interview with Kristina Greene. Vivi returns to her marital home, and reconciles with Jacques. Andre returns home to Elise and informs her of his decision to end their marriage.

In the epilogue, Rosalind and Mary break into Kelly's apartment. DNA testing has confirmed that Arthur is Freddy's son, and the two break into her apartment to coerce her into signing an NDA and accepting a large annuity in exchange for her silence.

What are the biggest ways Eloise has changed since we met her, and how do you think she's going to keep changing? 👀

Hello my friend!

Eloise's dealings in romance is the most obvious theme of the story, on a surface or new-reader level, her three relationships are what move the story along. But, I think there's more to telling her story than that. She's gone through a lot of grief that was, in a way, delayed until the events of the story. So much has happened within the span of about two years. Elle was privliged enough to have examples in two queens (Vivi and Hana) who taught with dignity, responsibility, and a good sense of leadership. However, their emotional baggage was so bottled and passed along that, in the time they had with her, it couldn't be effective. What she witnessed, really, was generational anger and grief at the cost of ones self, in Hana, Vivi, and Lorraine. She had learned that this was the Rodchester way of rule. In every act, though, those lessons came undone in a way that couldn't for any of her foremothers. In the first act she watched, as Viviane fell into her own past and as Arthur broke up with her. During the second, she took a more active role. Eloise trained, started working, and was apart of a situationship without attachment. She wasn't ready for what happened to her and Vivi, and just like her examples, Elle picked up her shit and carried on. In the third act, I think she did the most growing. She became a mother with righteous anger for the wrongs she percieved to have been done to her child. For a while, she was able to forgive and grow from Raheem and Violas debatable wrongdoings. As Queen, she was able to perform her duties with little change from the Status Quo, of course in the wave of nationalism that comes after horrible political violence aided in that, but it still wasn't easy. She had, like, four months of preperation while her simblr world co-workers are prepared from birth. I wish I would have focused more on the immediate aftermath. Though, the outcome would have been the same. When Eloise was at her lowest moment of private, even really from the audience, grief she trusted a man. Which isn't a mistake in and of itself, but by the time she learned his intentions it became one. When Elle was faced with this betrayal she turned inward, as she was taught. But of course it didn't work, this sort of self-sacrafice was eating her alive as it did to Vivi before her. Nothing Eloise was taught had worked for her and it may have taken a push from a very much involved outsider to realize that. Despite the story changing vastly from what I originally planned, her arc stayed the same. Eloise learned that what she and her foremothers were taught had irreparably harmed them and that if she wanted to grow, or forge a better path for herself and her future, she would need to make active and drastic change. In the end, Elle ensured Philippe's distressed loyalty to her and voiced her anger to the detriment of her close personal love and friendship, which she'd formerly held closest to herself. She's learning to value new, less personal, things between stories. For now, I can say that will manifest first in the reorganization of her council; she's no longer thinking as a successor, but as The Queen.

[untale]

we’re introduced to VIVIANE MYRICKS , the TWENTY FIVE years old BUSINESS OWNER at ANDALASIAN IMPORTS AND PERFUMERY from enchanted falls who bears a striking resemblance to SOPHIE THATCHER. the whispers in the wind tells us of their SELF - SUFFICENT and MISANTHROPIC reputation.  they are often haunted by dreams of a life lived as PRINCESS EILONWY OF LLYR, NIMUE (THE BLACK CAULDRON, THE LADY OF THE LAKE).

the townsfolk often are reminded of the damp musk of a secluded dungeon chamber, intricate detailing of a old iron doorknob, a incandescent shimmer orbiting her like her own personal sun, being a damsel to nothing.

FULL NAME: viviane myricks NICKNAME(S): vee, vivi, little anne AGE: twenty five DATE OF BIRTH: unknown, year of [redacted] ETHNICITY: white; of welsh, english and irish heritage GENDER: non - binary, assigned female at birth PRONOUNS: she / her, they / them SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: panromantic OCCUPATION: owner of andalasian imports and perfumery

... once upon a time ...

born into the royal house of llyr, the women in her family line were formidable enchantresses, including her mother, angharad, and grandmother regat. eilonwy was no different, readily visible in her manipulation of a magical orb, otherwise known as a golden pelydryn, that never left her side. she was once kidnapped and held captive by the horned king, after he assumed that her orb would allow him to locate and gain power of the mystical black cauldron to raise his undead army and rule the lands. when this proved unsuccessful, eilonwy was kept as a scullery maid until she made her escape -- defeating the horned king on his pursuit of power with the friends she had made along the way. many new adventures awaited her on her journey back to her kingdom.

eventually, she met the grand wizard merlin, and ceased the opportunity to learn all she can, by whatever means she could. although having been trained as a sorceress back in her kingdom and not a warrior, she was quite capable of using various kinds of weapons, particularly the sword, bow, and spear. even when unarmed, she would fight until incapacitated. hot tempered, stubborn, resolute . . . yet sharp, snippy, strong - willed, and sarcastic, but at the same time talkative and often scatterbrained. princess eilonwy would not be so easily defeated, by will or strength.

eilonwy had someone fill in her royal duties until she became of the age to be seated on the throne, despite being the sole heir in the house of llyr and an orphaned child. she spent most of her years in solitude before she had to face her obligations, and came to be known as the lady of the lake. a sorceress that resided within the bottom of a mystical lake, often associated with fairfolk and their fellow likeminded creatures, known for being quite the enchantress in many a tale. when king arthur broke the sword he pulled from the stone in battle with another king, merlin brought him to eilonwy, and she gifted him the sword known as excalibur. she never made it back to her kingdom before the curse befell them all.

... life in enchanted falls ...

the owner of their own business, andalasian imports and perfumery, viviane is quite the independent. having struggled with being in and out of foster care as a young child before the untimely death of her biological parents, she grew to know her way of being self - sufficient. . . and, of course, her way of attracting certain kinds of trouble. a reformed miscreant some would say, viviane focuses on keeping herself afloat most days, helping out at their shared apartment with dylan graham and jinyu klau. she also works part - time at the pandemonium as a bartender, not quite confident enough to pursue stepping up as a performer.

WANTED DYNAMICS: customers, employees, close, distant, new or old friendships, former lovers, adversarial, neighbours.

Before 2023 ends, I want to know when Chihiro will get laid-

Okay I don’t know what to say here that I haven’t already said before so before 2023 ends, I want to say it’s still your fault that I’m actually formulating headcanons for Arthur Kingsmen Mystery Skulls Animated and I hate you for it but this is said in the most affectionate way possible.

But seriously, how long has it been since you fell into Persona hell and where would I be without your presence and writing gracing my eyes and my dash? You truly understand each and every character you’ve mused, and I look forward to seeing what you have to say next, even with characters that you don’t write.

May we still be running in the 90’s into 2024 together with our little blorbos and those still very secret ships, and may Reload not snap your spine in twain with pain (again).

mwah

2023 is almost over!

((Listen I knew sooner or later you'd be musing on SOME Mystery Skulls Animated muse since I torment you about all the headcanon/canon-divergent plots I have for my Vivi. And since it's the longest fandom I've been in online, everyone will be subjected to knowing about the obscure animated music video series. You are not immune to it. Neither is anyone else here or on Discord. I WILL INFODUMP AND I WILL NOT BE SORRY ABOUT IT!!!

I may not have done much writing this year as I would've liked due to IRL circumstances, but I always enjoy getting to gush with you about future thread ideas. The sisters getting along, Naoto potentially dying, and those secret ships that I PROMISE WILL NOT TAKE 7 YEARS TO FULFILL!! I CAN'T DO THAT AGAIN!! Vibing with you is always a fun, and I'm happy we can just talk every day. It could be muse things, everyday things, anime we're watching, stupid shit we've made, literally I cannot properly say how important my friendship is with you. We're stuck like glue.

And we're only getting closer and stronger and surviving this crazy world together. May 2024 be filled with more shitposts, stupid sister shenanigans, and shippy stuff HOPEFULLY coming true. I love you Liz, MWAH MWAH!!))

@makima-s-most-smile

Question: Is Vivi the only one with an Ex? Does Shiro have a former flame? Or Mushi?

((Since I've been rarely one to dip into this as of lately? I'll take this moment to give a decent summary rundown on all of my muses who are still active on the dating scene, or aren't already married with their own reasons to date again, on my little roster. Those that I mention here are either taken from the source material I have and I'll do what I will with what was implied through it for my own portrayals!

Vivi - Reverb WAS her first Ex, but he wasn't her last. Before she found Lewis and Arthur, she had a few short flames she had casual relationships with in highschool whom she had met on her baseball team. She was one of the few woman on a mostly men baseball team, so she was bound to spark some relationships when she wasn't busy getting their team the homerun. But most of them didn't last given some of the jocks she got with were in bad taste; yet this was during a time she was still healing from her last abusive relationship. Being someone who was just trying the find the right connection, she was filling her time to just keep her head held high.

Lewis - Being someone who was in the theater club for most of his highschool years, he'd dated a few guys and gals during his theater fun. He's a soft hearted boy at heart, and during a time where his emotions were on a hormonal high? His heart was all over the place when it came to figuring out he liked boy and girls all the same, and people were mostly attracted to them for his looks. But most of those friendships didn't last long beyond a month or two. If not for Arthur sticking around, he would've gotten depressed after a lot of breakups when he found out the folks he dated were pretty shallow.

Arthur - During a time when he was figuring out he was pretty ace? He'd dated a couple people outside of his friend group, but the relationships didn't go anywhere when he didn't feel much for the random people he tried to develop a crush on in the middle of the relationship. He's not too fond of his Exs either. The people he was with were either shallow or trying too hard to impress him to the point of it not feeling really genuine in his opinion. He didn't see the point of continuing the relationships when the people he had been with didn't even show any real interest in his special interests either. That and he only gotten with these random people because he thought that was what everyone else was doing at the time.

Mystery - Before Mushi, he did have casual flings with a few mortals who had fancied him in his humanoid form. Back then, before he had gotten himself into being seen as a monster myth, he did get treated as a God because he helped a few villages with blessing their crop production. However, when he was more unmannered back then, he didn't let those flings turn into anything more than just a one-night stand.

Mushi - Was supposed to be set into an arranged marriage when she was still pretty into her earlier youth, but her groom-to-be had gotten himself murdered in the middle of a village raid. During her time when marriages were more treated as arrangements carried out between families than the individual? Japan back in their history had a seen settling down to make a family something of a generation matter. The only Ex she had is just a ghost now who haunts her husband's grave.

Reverb - Had had too much to count on two hands. Before he got stuck to Arthur's hand, he had previously been a shapeshifting demon who mainly fed on negative emotion and disorder. He's someone who only ever got jealous of someone having what he didn't have, and if there was a chance presented to him he would often steal someone else's mate for his own benefit; but he only ever did it for status appearances and jump ship when things were going south. He did have some occasional flings with some monsters here and there, but he always dipped when he felt that person would get close to figuring out his true identity.

Shiromori - Going off a freezeframe I found in freaking out, I do have a thoery she and Reverb were somewhat involved as friends and semi-lovers at one point in their history. Yet from what I've seen, things were implied to end pretty badly on Rev's end that he turned tail when he spotted her. Shiromori, while she's had that bastard as a past flame, is still the only one to get him to shut up though. She's even gotten him to do dirty work around the gang's garden she scares him that bad.

Uncle Lance - He's been widowed after having his wife pass away pretty early into their marriage. Wife died of cancer and had left him feeling a bit burnt out on the dating scene afterwards. It doesn't mean he isn't up for grabs, but he's a hard cookie to crack when the ace vibes kinda run in the kingmen family.

Part 43: here

...

(ARTHUR POV)

“Maybe, if you’d been even half of what he was, you wouldn’t have been possessed so damn easily. I mean, this kid put up more of a fight, and he’s pretty much a walking collection of neurosis,” the demon taunts.

“I said shut up!”

The demon, and by default, Arthur, narrows their eyes. Micky’s sudden appearance has thrown a wrench into its plans, drawing its full and undivided attention. Irritation curls around Arthur, replacing the previous sensations of smug satisfaction and amusement. The emotion is unpleasant, making Arthur’s mind crawl but it’s better than the sadistic joy he had been forced to endure as it was stabbing Lewis. For the first time since that disastrous meeting in the hospital’s car-park, Arthur finds himself completely free of surveillance. The demon’s attention is focused solely on Micky and the gun. The shift is so sudden and is Arthur so panicked, that he almost doesn’t recognise the opportunity. 

Luckily-the only luck he’s had in a long while-he does recognise his opening. His one chance to make things right. 

A desperate calm settles over him. Lightning flashes, illuminating the faint blue and purple of Vivi and Lewis’s clothes. Mystery glows ever brighter, casting a red tint on the concrete around him. Everything else is darker shades of grey, fading into black.

In his new state of calm, Arthur can envision how the next few seconds would play out. Micky would shoot. The demon would dodge.  Even now, he can feel how his body is tensing, preparing to duck to the side. The demon is hyper-focus on the gun, watching Micky’s every muscle twitch. To dodge, the demon would have to already be moving even before the gun went off. It would need precise control and a split-second warning just before the shot. After the gun fired, Vivi would run forward to ‘save’ him, putting herself in danger. Then, Mystery would be forced to transform and save her. In the commotion, the demon would make their escape. 

“Did you even go back to bury him, or did you just leave him there? What happened to all the ritual, funeral nonsense to send his soul on its merry way? How disrespectful.” The demon’s voice is full of malice, coloured with amusement, aiming to both harm and insult. 

The gun clicks in Micky’s hand. Already, Arthur can feel himself tensing, preparing to move fast.

“Stop!” Vivi lurches upright and Mystery blocks her from jumping between them. “If you shoot, you’ll kill Arthur!”

 This is okay. Arthur has already accepted that he might never see his friends again. The demon would run, take him away, and they would be safe. Mystery would pass along his apology and it would be fine. The only one to really suffer would be him and he thinks he can live with that. Is that true though? 

“That fucking brat sent us to our deaths. He’s just as guilty.”

It wasn’t just him that would suffer was it? This thing would keep on killing. It would use his body to kill other people and maybe, one day, it would go after Lewis or Vivi again. The creature wanted Arthur specifically and he is aware enough to know that the demon has got some sort of plan involving his messed-up soul. 

The body snatcher sniggers, “I’m sure Dan would be very unimpressed with how you're threatening this poor innocent human. I mean, if he weren’t a shish-kebab at the bottom of a cave.” 

Micky yells, loud, animalistic, full of pain and rage. Arthur feels a pang of empathy for the man who had had the misfortune of running into him and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just like Darrel.

In that fraction of a second before the gun goes off, his body, under the direction of the demon, lunches to the right.  Everything slows, time crawling by. Arthur can already see Mystery leaping, his dog form rapidly expanding. Vivi is also running towards him, face white with fear. 

His way out was suddenly blindingly clear.

With all his remaining will power, throws himself to the left. He slams into the mental barrier separating him from his body. Similar to when he’d first tried this in the van, the demon falters ever so briefly, its attention refocusing onto him and away from Micky. For a fraction of a second, in between heartbeats, the demon’s movements slow. Unlike when he had tried this before, there is no time for the demon to react.

 “ARTHUR!”

 The shout rings in his ears alongside the loud CRACK of a shotgun discharging. 

A sudden weight smacks him in the chest and he stumbles back. This time, Arthur’s sense of fear is mixed in with his own cold vindication. In a moment of role reversal, it is Arthur feeling spiteful and the demon experiencing surprise. 

“You little shit,” He feels himself spit the words out, angry, even as new wetness clogs his throat and the metallic taste of blood floods his mouth. Time accelerates again. Arthur hits the pavement and doesn’t even care that his head cracks on the hard surface. All bodily sensation is fuzzy now. Any pain one would expect to feel after getting shot is dulled. Surprise quickly turns to anger. The demon is almost brittle with furry, its full attention bearing down on him from all angles, pressing in. Suffocating. 

“Shit. Shit. Shit…Bleeding…that’s a lot of blood. Need to control the bleeding.” Arthur focuses on Vivi’s face which materialises above him. For the first time since his possession, Arthur managers to move of his own violation, taking a hash breath. The process is an immense struggle and he’s not sure if it’s because of the demon or blood loss. 

“Vi…” His tong feels heavy and foreign, the words he tries to say are garbled by the blood coming up through his throat. He doesn’t get more than a syllable out before the control is wrestled away. 

‘You think this is over?’ The voice echoes in his head, low and threatening.

“Shh. Don’t speak. Everything will be okay. I don’t think its hit anything important. Just lie still.” Her expression is a mix of horror and worry. Regret quickly roles over his vindication because the last thing he wants is for Vivi to have to watch her friend bleed out and die.

His vision blurs. A purple outline appears alongside Vivi. It’s Lewis, equally, if not more panic-stricken. He can feel to demon’s attention re-centre, staring Lewis right in the eye. 

 “What’s…up. You…goin…watch him die …with me?” The demon jerks, trying to grab a hold of Lewis’s bear unprotected hands.  

‘You can’t have Lewis.’ 

Arthur slams his full mental weight into malicious presence, pushing it to one side, cutting it off mid-sentence. As his body weakens so does its control. They’re both weak now. 

‘Sharing is caring.’ Is sneered. A wave of malicious intent  chips away at his control, paralysing rational thought with uncontained fear.  Arthur feels his hand lift under the demon’s renewed power, reaching weakly for Lewis, beckoning. 

“Lew…is.” Arthur tries to speak and warn his friend off.  

 ‘Don’t do it.’ He can’t get the words out, his control failing. It is like being back in the cave, unable to stop the unimaginably terrible from happening. His vision distorts, made worse by the night around them. He can barely see the conflict waring across his friend’s face.   His arm is numb. He and Lewis are standing on a ledge overlooking a steep drop…green is pooling at the edges of his vision. It doesn’t matter that they are both weak, the demon’s got him beat in the willpower department. Too many past mistakes occupy his thoughts, distracting him. 

Lewis’s hand hovers then closes around his, drawing his focus. The hand is warm almost comforting.

NO.

He claws at the demon, ripping and tearing at anything he can reach, trying to drag it down with him. A patronising laugh bounces around and there is the sensation of something rushing to escape. Arthur scratches and grasps but it is hard to hold onto something that hardly exists. The result is an exercise in futility like he’s trying to dig his nails into loose shale. 

‘Nice try but you’re a few centuries too inexperienced to hold me down.’ The demon slips away, leaving him to sink downwards, alone. ‘Try not to die while I’m out would you. I would hate for all this drama to be for nothing,’ Arthur can still feel the echo of rage and malevolence underlining its final amused jab as it fades from his consciousness. The demon is angry. He knows it is going to do its level best to hurt Lewis. There is nothing he can do to stop it. And, suddenly, Arthur is alone in his own mind.

“Why?” He coughs, wishing he could shake an answer out of Lewis. ‘Why did you do that Lewis?’ The last he sees of Lewis is a green discolouration creeping up the other’s arm. Lewis stumbles away, swallowed by the night. 

Vivi’s shocked face fades to nothing a second later. Then there is only darkness. No demon, just himself and all his mistakes.  No snarky running commentary on how screwed up and pathetic he was. No weird dissonance as he experienced two sets of emotional responses. He is just Arthur existing alone. He should feel relieved. This should be a triumph. 

It's not...

.

It’s dark and he’s falling, slamming into a stone spike. Two sets of memories blur together, becoming one extended nightmare. Two failed timelines are laid before him in a spread of damning evidence against his very existence.

Lewis is dead…then alive, grinning, eyes flashing bright green as he looks down on him, “Once in a millennia chance and you managed to screw it up.” There is fire rising around him, growing increasingly not, framing Lewis’s human visage. “This is your fault.”

 He coughs, gripping the spike piercing up through his chest. 

“How many can say they’ve had a second chance? None. That’s how many?” Lewis growls and the flames become unbearably hot till even the air itself hurts. “Face it. I just wasn’t that important to you.” Arthur should just stop trying to fight and let the fire burn away all that was left of him. 

It’s what he deserves. 

“So that’s it.”  The female voice cuts through the crackle of the fire, “You’re just going to give up?" 

The stone around him shifts, colours mutating from purple and green to a gleaming, blue-tinted ice. Gone is the stone spike, the cliff, and the cave, to be replaced by an empty snow-filled field. He is no longer in pain. He is kneeling, half-buried in snow, surrounded be an empty silver-grey landscape. 

“What about your promise to answer my questions. You’re going to leave everyone behind wondering what the heck happened?” Lewis and his fire disappear, replaced with cold air and a familiar voice. He squints up at the blurry Vivi-shaped outline but can’t make out her face. The word around him is too blindingly bright to make out any details.

“I can’t…” he pleads, “I’ve made so many mistakes.”

“So what. That’s never stopped you before.”

He drops his gaze, ignoring the the rustle of fabric as a person knelt in front of him.

“We all make mistakes.”  Her voice is soft.

“I don’t know what to do?”  

If there’s one thing the demon has taught him it was that things could always get worse.

“It’ll be okay Arthur. Just explain what happened. I’ll understand.”

He looks up, desperately searching for the face of a familiar older Vivi. 

“I miss you.”  He doesn’t care that he is angsting over what was probably a figment of his imagination. The shadow of a Vivi he’d left behind in a future that would never happen. 

“Silly, I never left.”

The white space above him splinters, shattering like glass, falling on him like flakes of snow.

.

.

.

His next breath is heavy like he is struggling against some immense weight.  It is nothing like being on the cliff, struggling to breathe against the heat and having it cut with frigid cold, this is real. The sensation of forcing his lungs to expand and take in the dry air is almost too real. A dull ache settles over him and he can’t tell if it is coming from his body or somewhere deep in his chest. Everything feels floaty and unreal and he struggles to pull together a coherent thought. Arthur wills his eyes to open, almost afraid to try and have this illusion of control snatched away. 

Light eclipses the dark. The imprint of spikes, fire and ice, fade into a nightmare. He stares up at a familiar off-white ceiling. A pattern of square panels, broken by two overhead lights, one of which is switched off, meaning the room in only half lit. The faint smell of anaesthetic and bleach lingers in the air. Absently, he recognises the hospital ceiling. The dejavu is painful.  

Slowly, almost too afraid to try, he turns his head, scanning for his arm. There is a needle disappearing into his skin just above his wrist which is connected to a machine beeping a faint rhythmic pattern. It is his flesh and blood arm. This is his original arm, meaning this is the other timeline. The one he had just royally screwed up. His fingers twitch when he wills them to move, jerking inwards to grasp at nothing. This is the timeline where his Uncle is dead, and Lewis is probably off somewhere killing people under the demon’s control. An unbearable sadness descends upon him. He takes solace in the melancholy, welcoming it, wrapping it around himself like a familiar blanket. Maybe, if he waited long enough, the demon would return, and he would be able to save Lewis. Arthur doubts it, he has nothing of value to trade aside from himself and Lewis is ten times more valuable than him. It was pointless. Maybe he hadn’t learnt his lesson about wanting things. Maybe he will just lie here forever, wasting away.

 Maybe that didn’t sound so bad.

“Arthur.” The surprised voice cuts into him, slicing apart his thoughts.

He blinks, twitching to glance to the side, focus shifting  past the empty hospital chair placed next to his bed and towards the doorway. Vivi. She is standing in the entrance. Her clothes are wrinkled, speckled with dirt, and she has smudges across her face that look a bit like wood ash. Her eyes are wild with open surprise. 

Her surprise becomes relief, mixed with conflicting joy and apprehension. 

“You’re awake.” She speaks slowly, voice halting. 

“V…” His throat is far too dry to speak so the word comes out as a wheeze. 

Whatever misgivings had Vivi frozen in the doorway, they don’t hold her for long and she is across the room in a flash of blue. The next thing he knows her weight is resting across his shoulder and chest, gripping onto him. There is a brief flash of purely physical pain as she bumps the wad of bandages he only just notices are covering the upper half of his torso, wrapping his collar bone. Her face is awkwardly pressed against his opposite shoulder.

When his vision blurs, he panics, momentarily thinking he was losing his control. However, he quickly recognises it as a different sort of loss of control. A normal loss of control. There is water pooling in his eyes, running down his face. He’s crying, making breathing hard. 

“You idiot.” Vivi’s voice is unsteady now, full of hurt, “You colossal idiot.”

“I'm…sor…” He swallows, coughing out the apology “…ry”  He doesn’t know what exactly he’s apologising for but he’s made so many mistakes that it’s the only thing he can think to say. 

“I thought you were going to die.”

Sluggishly, Arthur tries to raise a hand, the one without a needle sticking into it, to hold onto the fabric of her jacket. His muscles feel a bit like jelly, spasming occasionally, as his mind re-associates mental commands with movement. He realises with a pang of grief that she is wearing Lewis’s jacket. What happened to Lewis?  He tries to speak, to explain, to ask questions, but his throat is still too dry. After attempting this a few more times he gives up and allows himself the small comfort of being able to hug Vivi again.

Part 43: here

Have been thinking of msa amphibia crossover idea for the last 3 days because both of em have the only polycules ever

[distractedhistotech]

Lewis Joins the Gang (Again)

As usual, Arthur was the first to wake up.  He felt like he’d taken too much pain medication before going to bed and…there was something on top of him that was not Vivi or Mystery.  It felt smooth and warm.  He sat up.  “What.” He stared at the pile of purple ghosts covering him, Vivi, and Mystery.  On a purple bed.  In…a large room.  It looked like the entrance room of a mansion.

Wait, wait, wait…He was starting to remember.  “Uh, ghost guy, you there?”  Arthur started shaking Vivi.  “Hey, hey, Vivi.  Wake up. Something crazy.  And ghosty.  And maybe cursy.  And I think you’ll need to drive today.”  He picked up one of the Deadbeats.  “Why are you not scaring me?”

Vivi groaned.  “Five more minutes.”

“You are literally covered in ghosts,” Arthur said as he attached his prosthetic.

Vivi almost immediately shot up.  “Oh my gosh! They’re so cute!”  She started scratching one on the top of its head.  “Yes, you are, yes you are.”  She paused.  “Hey, where are we?”

“Haunted house,” replied Arthur.

Vivi blinked.  “Huh.  Why don’t I remember that?”

“Ghost guy said…” Arthur paused and looked around.  “Actually, where is he?”  One of the ghosts popped up holding a pretty blue heart with orange filigree all over it.  “Huh. Why does that seem familiar?”

“Hm…”  Vivi picked up the heart.  “Why is the color-”

Vivi was interrupted when purple fire shot out of the heart and formed a familiar ghost.  Well, familiar to Arthur anyway.  “Hey, ghost guy.”

Lewis blinked.  “Uh, hey.”

“Whoa!  You look so cool!” crowed Vivi.

Lewis blushed a little.  “R-really?”

“Yeah, the suit, and the skull, and the fire, it’s awesome!” said Vivi.  She frowned.  “Uh, did you do something to our memories?”

Lewis quickly held his hands up.  “Not on purpose!  I tried to introduce myself, but whenever I said my name, you passed out and forgot stuff!”

Vivi frowned.  “Maybe it’s a safeguard?  Knowing someone’s true name can give you power over them…”

“But I really wanted to tell you my name!” protested Lewis.

“And we appreciate that, but given the side effects, you probably shouldn’t,” mused Vivi.

“And-and there was that other thing,” said Lewis.  “See?” Lewis put his glamour back on.  “This is supposed to be what I looked like when I was alive, and that’s what I see when I look in the mirror, but Artie said that’s not what I look like!”

Both humans winced. “Oof, yeah, that’s not a human face,” agreed Vivi.  “Could you…” Lewis dropped the glamour.  “Thanks.  Okay, that makes less sense.  Glamours are specifically for blending in.”  Vivi hummed in thought for several moments.  “This could take a while to figure out…But we need to get to Techno Con.”

Lewis blinked.  “Techno Con?”

“I’ve got a booth there to show off my prosthetics,” explained Arthur.  “And I’m hoping to pick up a few new things myself.”

“Oh, congratulations,” said Lewis as an idea started to occur to him.  “But…Maybe…If it’s a not a problem, I could go with you.  Then you’d have plenty of time to figure out what’s wrong.”

Arthur’s mouth fell open in shock and nervousness.  Vivi thought a moment.  “That’s a tempting offer, but I have some concerns.”  She pointed at Arthur.  “Firstly, Arthur has to agree.”

Lewis nodded.  “Of course.”

“Secondly, how do we know you won’t try to kill us or drain our energy?” pointed out Vivi.

“I could’ve done that while you were sleeping,” pointed out Lewis.  He paused.  “Not that I would!”

“Hm…”  Vivi nodded.  “Good point.  Secondly, why would you want to come with us?  Most ghosts are tethered to a place.”

Lewis winced.  “I didn’t want to stay there.”

Vivi winced.  “Ah.  Sorry.”

“And…I was lonely,” admitted Lewis.  “I don’t want to be alone.”

“What about these guys?” asked Arthur, holding up a chirping Deadbeat.

“The Deadbeats are more like cats.  I can talk to them, but they don’t give me a response,” explained Lewis.  “They are my friends, and they helped me stay sane, but I missed being able to talk to people.”  Especially these people.

“Bit of an unusual motive, but I can believe it,” commented Vivi.  “But why us, haven’t you run into other people before?”

“I’ve only been dead for a few months.”  At least Lewis thought it was months.  He hadn’t been able to keep track of time during his trek to civilization.  “And I kind of died in the middle of nowhere, and it turns out it can take a while to find a road if you don’t have a map or compass.”

“I think I saw an episode of Mythbusters about that,” commented Arthur.

Vivi nodded.  “Okay, you want friends, but if you haven’t been dead that long, wouldn’t it make more sense to return home where your friends and family are?  Or are you worried about how they’ll react?” she asked.

“Oh, I actually was on my way home,” said Lewis.  “I just ran into you first, and I figured I could hitch a ride with you since I’m from Tempo too.”

“How do you know we’re from Tempo?” asked Arthur.

“You guys are kind of infamous.  I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone in town knew who you were,” explained Lewis.

“True, random strangers will walk up to me and ask me tips about ghosts and stuff,” agreed Vivi. “What about you?  Any chance we’ve ever met before.”

Lewis perked up. “Yeah!  I was a chef at Pepper Paradiso!”

Arthur frowned. “Pepper Paradiso’s a restaurant?” he asked in confusion.

“Yeah, it serves pretty spicy food so you wouldn’t like it,” said Vivi.  It was why she’d never taken him there for a date.

“Huh?  You’ve both been there plenty of times though,” said Lewis.

“Nah, I can’t stand spicy food,” said Arthur.  “If it’s mostly spicy stuff I’d avoid it.”

Oh, this was so much worse than Lewis had thought.  “A-And we went to the same high school!”

“Were we in the same grade?” asked Arthur.

“Uh, I was in the grade below you,” said Lewis.

“Then you might be in some of our yearbooks,” reasoned Arthur.  “Of course we don’t exactly carry those around.”

“Ugh, yeah, and it’s probably been long enough that you can’t look at it online,” muttered Lewis. “I went to Tome Tomb all the time…Why don’t either of you remember me…” Lewis finished sadly.

“Well, in one’s day-to-day life you don’t remember every single person you run into,” pointed out Arthur.

“I’m seven feet tall though!” shouted Lewis, getting frustrated.  “I stood out like a sore thumb!”

“Okay, yeah, that’d be pretty memorable,” agreed Arthur.  “You’d think we’d remember someone like that.”

“Hm…You know, I don’t remember anyone talking about a chef at Pepper Paradiso going missing,” mused Vivi.  “I wonder if any memories were erased from everyone’s minds.”

The thought was so horrifying that Lewis could just stare at them in horror.

“Whoa, that’s a bit of a big leap!” pointed out Arthur.  “I mean it’s weird neither of us have heard about a local giant, but we might just be clueless. Heck, maybe we could call home and ask while we’re traveling.”

“True,” agreed Vivi. “Although even if that’s wrong, I’d like to help this guy.  Something really odd is going on with him.”

Arthur bit his lip and studied the nervous looking Lewis.  He weighed the pros and cons.  He sighed.  “If you can’t disguise yourself, you can’t really go out in public.  You okay with that?”

“Well, I could turn invisible,” pointed out Lewis, doing so for a moment to prove that was a thing he could do.  “If I didn’t let other people know I was around, would that be all right?”

Arthur thought for a moment before sighing.  “As long as you let us know where you are, yeah.”

Vivi gave Arthur a startled look, not expecting him to support this.  Still, if he was okay with it, she wasn’t gonna give up this opportunity to get a ghost teammate who would maybe help them out on investigations and let her study him a bit.  “Okay, so if you and your Deadbeats (Heh, funny name.) agree to behave and stay out of sight, you can travel with us until we got back to Tempo.  Deal?”

“When will you be going back to Tempo?” asked Lewis.

“Well, we have like 8 days funds, but depending on if we earn anything we might travel around a bit longer,” explained Arthur.

Lewis was familiar with this traveling plan, so he nodded.  “It’s a deal.”

“Great!  Now we should probably head out,” said Vivi.  “We don’t want to fall too far behind in our plans.”

Lewis nodded.  “Sure thing.”  He then proceeded to collapse the entire house into fire and absorb it into his anchor.  He paused as he saw the other three staring at him in shock.  “Uh, did I forget to mention I could do that?”

“Yes,” squeaked Arthur.

“Oops.”  Lewis chuckled nervously.  “Well, yeah, I can make houses.  And other stuff.”  He coughed nervously somehow.  “So, that’s your van, right?  I’ll just go settle into the back.”  He zoomed off.

Arthur turned to Vivi. “I feel like we might’ve bitten off more than we can chew.”

Vivi shrugged.  “Well, nothing we can do now.  Wanna go grab some waffles?��

“Hm…I’d rather just have some yogurt and fruit.  Not that hungry,” said Arthur as they walked back to the van.

Random Headcanon

So I was talking to @idigihearts1x3 last night. She mentioned as a joke that Lewis’s heart was healed by the flower petals in Freaking out. But—it got me thinking.

My personal headcanon for that scene is not that the flower or the magic in it healed him. I think that by having a way to find Vivi via the petals, he knew he could find her again, and that gave him motivation and drive to keep going. And that’s what healed his anchor. Having a reason to keep going.

But then, that made me wonder why her leaving would make him give up?

Surely, he knows where they live in town. Even if he didn’t know where Tempo was because he was lost, enough searching would probably help him find something familiar enough to find home. And he was driving, so honestly I think he’d probably have some idea of where to go. So why would he give up if there was still the hope he could find her again?

Why would he stop looking when they managed to get away? When he was that close to her again? Why would he choose to give up and fade… unless he couldn’t go home?

What if there’s something that prevents Lewis from going into Tempo?

Or at least, what if something did so in the beginning when he first manifested. From what we know about him, when he came back he probably didn’t believe what happened and he would want answers first, not revenge. Because that’s the kind of guy he seems to be.  So…what if he couldn’t get into Tempo? What if there was something protecting the town from supernatural entering? Like wards or something? Maybe he couldn’t find Vivi or Arthur or Mystery to talk to them, because he couldn’t enter Tempo. So he waited. And in that time, he festered.

Arthur was recovering from loss of limb and then building his arm. Vivi was helping with that and working. And Mystery was staying close by. So none of them were leaving Tempo. And month pass. But Lewis doesn’t know that side of things. He just know what he remembers, which is Arthur killing him, and that he died. And now, he can’t go home.

He wants to talk to them, but time keeps moving, and Lewis’s patience becomes frustration at a lack of answers. And then frustration bubbles up anger. The perception shifts the longer he’s forced to wait; the longer he did, the longer anger had to rise and distort memories and affect him as a ghost and turn him vengeful. So things like the manor that might’ve been to impress Vivi and talk to his friends might’ve changed to be more of a trap for Arthur to ‘confront his killer’.

Which is why when they get away, Lewis mourns and fades. Because he knows they’ll return to Tempo, which is a place he can’t follow. So he gave up, thinking it was too late. But then he’s disturbed by Shiromori, and then he finds the flowers. And suddenly he has a way to get to her before she’s gone.

And so when he runs into that truck (or to be more accurate, the truck runs into him :p), he floors it in their direction. And when he sees the van, he stops it again. If he took the petals from the blue flower, the intent was to find Vivi, so maybe he’s just trying to reach her before it’s too late, which is part of why he’s rushing.
