*a red haired tiefling is walking around the forest, with one hand he is holding a map while the other is being carried close to his chest*

Come on I know the place is somewhere in here...

A crow lands in front of the tiefling, and tilts its head.

Bruce was in the Batcave and at the trusted Bat-Computer. There was cans of a new energy drink 'XO Punch' on the console, unopened. And vials of purple liquid.

Bruce felt someone approach. And turned.

"Don't drink it." He warned. "It's the new energy drink, and it's sold out everywhere. Causing fights in stores. I got a few and did some investigating and found Punchline is behind this. It also had elements of mind control, so we need to stop it from spreading. And find out what she's planning..."

[Guide's eyes slowly blink open. He hears trees rustling lightly outside as the wind blows through them. He feels cold, hard wood underneath his palms. Is...is it really over now?]

[A small puddle of tears lies where his head rested on the floor. He wipes it with his sleeve as he breathes. In and out. In and out. His body functions feel foreign to him. He tries to stand up, only to stumble and fall over the other way, back hitting the frame of his bed.]

[The dense fog of fear slowly lifts from his mind as he takes in his surroundings. What...does he do now, exactly? He can't just keep going about his day like nothing happened. He'll just have to go for a walk, he supposes. Maybe talk with some people. Get his mind off of things.]

[...Not only that, his head feels...strange. Not pain (though he does feel a headache coming on), but...full. Something is taking up space in his mind.]

[He feels acutely aware of the Flood Sword's position in the room. Laying on the table, just next to the door. He doesn't even need to turn to check.]

For being such a good subject, how about I reward you?

[...of course. Of course THIS is his reward. some kind of facsimile of the connection, just handed to him on a silver platter, after all the time he spend researching it with....with....Crazy...]

[He sighs deeply. He's too worn out from everything that's happened to stay mad at something like this. The longer he thinks about it, the stronger a sense of childlike glee gets within him. Belting out a cheesy one-liner, he raises his hand above his head and tries to will the sword to move towards him.]

[He realizes that's not the right way to put it when, almost immediately, the sword loses it's form and the water that apparently made it up moves to his hand instead.]

"WHAT THE-?!"

[He doesn't even have to close his hand over the sword to keep it in the air. He feels a strain on his brain in doing so, similar to the strain in his muscles as he keeps his hand in the air, but that doen't matter because he can move the fucking water with his MIND?? THATS SO COOL??]

[He can move it around, he can make funny shapes with it, he can even condense it into ice and back! He can only control as much water as is necessary to make the Flood Sword at one time, but it's still the best possible distraction he could have asked for (even if it came straight from the beast that made him need that distraction in the first place). He's going to have some great new party tricks to show the others once he heads out to find them!]

"… Huh?"

*He looked down at the small sword and picked him up.*

"… Sword??"

Well I found it quite electrifying that ol' bug girl has her own page! I might just stay awhile! It's been a bit since I found sumthin' that really gives off good vibes y'know? Apparently most people aren't so welcome with havin' constant lightning storms- coulda fooled me, I thought people liked dat junk- I also I see with my lil peepers that you and Eddy has a little thang goin' on ain't that sweet hehe!

Joan felt the hair on her neck stick up and a light buzzing sound fill the room. It wasn’t the kind of buzz she was used to, definitely not the frantic beat of wings, more like… static?

“Good vibes huh? That’s nice to hear!”

She could sympathize with beings who weren’t the fondest of lightning, some caterpillars coil and freeze, certain spiders balloon to safety, and some crustaceans get anxiety attacks.

“Well, they can be a bit intimidating at times.” She replied with a calm demeanor until the topic of a certain telepath was mentioned, causing her antennae to twitch and her face to flush.

Shit people know?!

“Oh! Well, um… I do quite enjoy Edgar’s uhh company.” Joan stammered looking off into nothingness with a foolish fanged grin on her face and killing off her train of thought.

"In light of the reamergence of the unlawful treatment of Sofia Falcone, I want to use my platform to bring the mental health of women to the forefront of this community. So, I am calling on my sister from Arkham to share their stories so others can learn and bond over grief and tragedy. Who wants to go first? Or shall I?"

[hallow-hunt]

“Hah! Gotcha! I’m just kiddin’! What’s goin on man?” "FINNLEY!! You startled my research subject...!"

[pinklocksoflove]

"You wanna know something I did as a kid? So my parents gave me an allowance. I did spend it on things normal kids did of course but with a big exception. Very often I'd go to thrift stores and find old electronics, buy them especially if they didn't work. Try to fix them and if I couldn't fix them I'd take them apart and try to learn how they worked. Started doing this at six. I was a weird kid I know."

[dimxnd-assistant]

"I know you don't care but I do! Feels really weird how the UK go no votes this year at Eurovision. Our act wasn't the best but still... nothing?"

[ghosts-of-gotham]

"Like my new tie? It's called a slapper dapper, and I am wearing this to all my business meetings from now on! Wanna find out why I like it so much?"

She has now seen at least 6 photos today of all brown kittens... and she's contemplating a smuggling operation..

Zephia had been enjoying her time in the feast, when she felt a small paw tap on her shoulders. "E-excuse me, Ms..." Yarne didn't know her name. What he did know, was she was scary. What was her name... "Ms... Zelestia, was it?" Crap. That sounded wrong. "Aa-anyways!"

He presented a small couple herbs he picked from the fields around the monastery, prepared in a small design in the shape of a peace sign. "I... made this for everyone here." He stepped back, rubbing his arms. Yarne knew that this party was home to quite a few of the more dangerous members of the academy staff and students, so trying to appease the ones who looked most dangerous or important were the most vital to make sure were enjoying themselves, and not wanting his blood. "So, please... enjoy this, a-and... please keep me off the menu!"

Yarne turned tail (literally), breathing in deeply. That went... awfully... this party's so going to end up with Roast Taguel on the tables...

Zelestia. Wasn't that the name of her counterpart from the world that Lord Rafal came from? How in the world had this... little rabbit come up with that name?

"It's Zephia, sweetheart. Never speak that foul name to me again." She's half tempted to swat him like a bug right then and there, because she can never even bear to think of a world where she was supposedly kind. A world where she was not loyal to her Lord Sombron.

What a digusting thought.

"Keep you off the menu? Darling that hadn't even been a thought that crossed my mind. Why are you... so worried about? I won't... hurt you."

After a bit of walking, there was a knock on the door. Outside stood Zuka and someone ( @creator-is-herexp ) in his arms, a nervous smile coming from him.

- @sharkchanic

"… I’m sure the door is unlocked. Come in."

*The deer was helping a unconscious phighter, scars and bruises cover the phighter.*

Jiraiya sat under a tree. Vibrant pink blossoms blooming in the canopy above him. The air was sweet with the scent of the fragrance that truly marks spring. Simply holding his hand out and waiting a few seconds leads to his palm being filled with delicate pink petals.

Currently he’s in a small cove that’s dipped into a mountain peak. The tall walls around it feels as if the earth was protecting this tree. It’s one lonely cherry tree…. Guarding this place by itself. Perhaps it’s sacred. If it is no one has prayed here in a long time.

He breathes in deeply before blowing out of his mouth. The petals blow away and slowly flutter to the ground. He’ll stay here awhile… maybe collect petals. Some scribes make special ink this time of year from sakura petals. Could make for an easy paycheque. Or maybe a gift. The sweet scent still lingers in the ink even after processing. But…

That’s a thought for another time.

He sits back and enjoys the short lived beauty that is flowering sakura.
