sos month 2023 day 12: hunt

"Did this man have a wife? Yes. They did not care for each other. Their thoughts never even brushed up against each other. What a sad species that inhabited this planet. Being only able to connect via physical touch–and then forcing so many rules to limit that touch. How did they find a way to survive for so long?"

collab with the amazing @baking-fics! in which sasori and sakura are alien convicts hiding out on earth, specifically 1970s japan. unfortunately they couldn't go 6 months without (accidentally) getting someone killed.

check out the full picture on the sos server and mind the warnings!

About the Phigros x Ongeki update…

Wh- What are those charts bro💀💀💀

[truths33k3r4]

After the whole room takes a simultaneous second to catch their breath, I walk to my front door. Before my hand reaches the door handle, I hesitate and turn to all of my ‘guests’.

“Um.. it’s probably best for you guys to hi-”

I pause as I’m met with an empty room, and the sounds of scurrying paws scittering away. I walk under the frame of my bedroom’s door, and my eyes land onto the large hump of blankets now centered on my bed, with muffled whispers and shushes escaping from underneath.

Yeah… that- that should work.. I think, as I give a slight chuckle at the creatures fighting over room under the blankets. Classic siblings.

I walk back into the living room and open the door, expecting to see my regular pizza delivery man with his gapped-toothed grin and curly hair, but am instead startled by the presence of someone else. 

“Greetings.” The man speaks in a cold monotone voice.

The man towers over me, (which isn’t that much of a feat seeing how I’m 5’3), but his countenance oozes with.. threat. His shoulders are kept taut and pulled back, and his posture mirrors that of a soldier standing at attention. His eyes are shielded behind dark, tinted glasses, keeping me from seeing any hints of color or soul in his irises. 

He isn’t carrying a pizza box.

My instincts scream at me.

Don’t let him inside. Close the door NOW.

My brain moves a mile a second as I scramble to think of a plan. I do my very best to keep a mask of naivety on my face, so as to not raise any suspicions in this random dude at my doorstep. In the middle of the night.

“Um, yeah, hi. You are not the pizza delivery man..” I speak sassily with a hand on my hip, as I lower my sight to the man’s empty hands. ”..Unless the pizza you're selling is invisible?” I force a squeaky laugh.

The man’s face doesn’t move an inch. 

I feel my shoulders start to raise in discomfort. I mask the movement by turning it into a shrug as I make an unimpressed face.

“..Sir, if you don’t have my pizza, then please leave.” I speak with my tone lowering in warning. Behind the door, my hand reaches for the can of mace placed on a side table for emergencies. I can feel my heartbeat begin to quicken as the man glances at my empty driveway. 

He’s checking to see if I’m alone. 

I fail to cover the dread quickly flooding over my features, as my fingers shakily unlatch the safety lock on my mace. Keeping full unblinking eye-contact with the man, I semi-shout over my shoulder.

“Honey, lock the doors, there’s another creep out here.” I say with an obvious sneer towards the stone faced man. The grip on my mace tightens as my finger plants itself on the button.

Hopefully those little guys got the message.

I hear the faint sounds of sheets scuffling, followed by little *clicks* of the windows’ locks.

Oh, thank God.

Deciding this unnerving interaction was over, I close the door with as much force as I can, pressing my whole weight against the frame. The man, (like the sci-fi movies I’ve watched predicted), jams his foot between the doorway and braces the edge with a firm hand.

NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.

I remember all my older sister’s lessons on self defense, flying through the steps on how to disarm a foe, and how to protect myself. 

“First step- Know your enemy. Is it a man or woman?” My older sister’s voice echoes in my head. “Second step- Take away your enemy’s balance.”

In one jarring motion I let go of my weight on the door, causing the man to fall forward. Before he falls, I brace my core and shoot out my knee, jamming it into the “every man off switch” (as my sister had called it). A guttural gasp escapes the man’s throat as he falls to the ground in a groaning heap. He immediately tries to get up, scrambling to stand and reach for something tucked away on his back, but I don’t give him the chance as I yank off his glasses and spray his eyes point blank with my mace. Another scream rips out of the man as he clasps his hands over his eyes.

“Third step- Once he’s off balance, deliver the final blow.”

Using the same knee, I thrust it as hard as I can into the man’s throat, shoving him backwards, and flopping him over onto my porch. The blow should at least knock the air out of him, if not completely knock him unconscious. 

Right before I slam my door shut, I catch sight of the man twitching and groaning. And then I see the familiar sheen of a pistol wedged into his belt.

THAT’S NOT GOOD- OH CRAP.

After throwing the man's glasses to the floor, I twist every lock on my door, and even push the side table in front of it as a barrier.

RUN.

RUN!

My heart thrums in my chest as I race to my bedroom where all the little guys are huddled together. I yank my curtains shut, and turn towards them with fear and adrenaline pulsing through every breath.

“Hh..hhh. Guys- we gotta move. NOW.” I choke in between gasps.

Three sets of eyes emerge from below the blankets, all drenched in fear and confusion.

“What happened?? What did that human say?” Donnie questions, as he crawls out of the blankets. 

A muffled snort sounds from Leo as he and Raph crawl out of the covers.

“I’ll tell ya what the human said- GrraaAAAAGGGHH!!!” Leo mocks with a grin. “But seriously- what the shell did you do to that guy?”

Both of the creatures' voices are distorted and blurry, forcing me to truly focus so I’ll be able to tell what they’re saying. It’s hard to hear questions when your heart is pulsing like a drum in your head.

“I…W-we..” I start, trying to catch my breath for the fourth time TODAY.

Donnie looks at Raph and then back at me with concern etched all over his face. He holds out his tiny hands and makes steadying motions, encouraging me to breathe. I copy the movement of his hands, taking an inhale as my hands raise, and an exhale as they lower.

“He tried.. He tried to get in- I j-just-”

Breathing isn’t working.

“Speak the truth, Melissa. When you think your anxiety is winning, speak truth in your heart.” My mother’s voice echoes in my mind, smooth and tender like delicate silk.

I take another unhelpful breath, but try my best to hold it as long as I can. Then when I exhale, I force my whole body to release as much tension as possible.

“He tried… to get into the house..” My voice cracked as more fear shot into my heart at the fact that a man just tried to break his way into my home-

“Speak truth in your heart.”

I take another breath; It’s still shaky, but drawing closer to stable.

“...B-but, he didn’t get in. I... I stopped him.”

Pings of fear and contemplation flash from the faces of the creatures looking up at me. They all turn to each other, processing the information that was given. Finally, Raph turns towards me, his beak tight in a frown of guilt.

“Thank you for fighting that guy off.” Raph whispers as he crawls to the edge of the bed with Donnie following close behind him. The crimson-clad creature’s posture is hunched and tight, but his eyes shine with determination. I recognize that spark from years of having it flicker in my own heart:

Protector.

“Wait-” Leo twists his head to meet my gaze, still holding his slumbering brother in his arms.”Are you saying you beat the guy up??! HOW?? You’re like the size of a twi- OW!”

Leo jolts and yelps at the quick *THWAP* of Donnie’s tail slapping his rear. Raph rolls his eyes as a subtle grin grows on his face, but that soft tenderness melts away at the muffled sound of Mikey’s groans.

“Nardo!” Donnie both whispers and hisses, ”Mind your ever-spewing mouth! You should know better than all of us that it’s wrong to judge skill based on size. And thanks to you- he says sarcastically- Mikey’s awake now!”

The room goes dead silent.

Where once playful chimes danced in the wind singing their songs, now hung dull, hollow cylinders, weighing down their strings with each second that passed.

Leo’s smug grin peels off as if a mask, giving light to his serious concern for his sick brother. 

“A-aw, Mikey… I’m..I’m sorry, little bro.” Leo whispers as he holds the youngest close to his chest. The blue-clad creature begins to rock his brother in his arms, quietly singing a foreign lullaby. As Leo continues to sing, Raph and Donnie both crawl over to join him, placing their paws on Mikey and humming along.

As I watch, I feel my heart slow. The adrenaline that was once burning through my muscles and brain begins to vanish as I sit and listen to the three brothers. All the ‘what ifs’ clouding my mind swiftly dissipate as the room continues to fill with the comforting melody. A pulsing warmth makes its way into my soul, taking the place of my worries, fear, and anxiety.

As Leo and the brothers finish the beautiful song, a faint, content mew hums out of Mikey. His tail sluggishly wraps around his three brothers, pulling them all in closer. They embrace, surrounding Mikey with their warmth and presence. 

Raph pulls away from their hug, and holds his tiny hand out to me. 

A grateful smile blooms over my face as I carefully scoot over. I wrap my arms around them, lightly squeezing to add another form of grounding pressure. The feeling of safety and love spreads over me in waves of blue, purple, and red energy. 

Everything’s okay.

We’re gonna be okay.

The delicate peace in the room shatters at the frightening sound of my door frame being reduced to splinters.

What happens next, @phoebepheebsphibs? :)

[sword-and-lance]

okay ngl I'm kinda intrigued by the latest gundam anime/movie/whatever release that they've recently teased lmao

I mean I gotta be at least a bit interested given this is a collab between Gundam's studio and NGE's studio I mean c'mon my inner teenager is going fucking bananas about that

but uh

what

is with that fucking name though

[ukusreticence]

tfw you have ideas in your noggin but can't properly convey them

ignore the yellowish doodles as it was just kinda brainstorming but the "fractures" thing and loose concept of the more concrete version is kinda what i really wanted to get out

exploring ideas on like, ig how to interpret God (for HH purposes)? dunno my brain kept thinking of The Stranger from Slay The Princess.

in a way of, i cant think of one idea of how to interpret them so fuck it its all of them

also kinda had the thought process of, well i still see them as a void being and its kinda funny imagining that if side b is forced to obey the whole equilibrium between "good" and "bad", then would be funny if God had to in a way as well but creates other beings (the angels) to do it for them so it just casually bypasses that

which is also really funny since the concept of good and bad likely came from them in the first place since its not like the void literally had anything like that beforehand

idk loose random brain rot brainstorming imma probably not come back to this concept again

also both singles from chris stapleton's upcoming album are really good, "white horse" is very country-rock and "think i'm in love with you" is a bop, i'm so excited for this new album

[aquacomet]

A heads up for those who may be curious, the reveal-versary collab is still happening today! Encountering a few technical issues making it slow to finish up some things.

The main boards are ready to go, so might set them and some casual boards soon so people can get started while I work on finishing up the last few bits of extra art from my end.

Edit: It's now open!
