Seeing Ghosts

Continued from here \\ @indevendent

Slowly a brow raised at the Plant's stammering and horror, cracking his neck sharply before leaning forward to inspect the body. He sniffed, nose twitching before scrunching up. "Internal shrapnel bomb. The stench of fear tells me they were aware it was there, came here to minimize the damage to anyone else." he tilts his head as he straightened, head turning to scent the air once. "Looks like you got some fucked up people in this town of yours." he lit the cigarette lazily, eyes cast around in the dark. "Might be why I was summoned here by the town." he adjusts the cross, grunting slightly as he drank in the smoke and blew it out his mouth a second time. "I believe you." it wasn't hard to believe the man, though he found the stammering almost adorable. God he needed a drink. "You're not gonna cause problems around here, are you? I'd rather not nearly die again. Wasn't fun." least of all was waking up in a grave suffocating and digging himself out.

@indevendent replied : ridiculous. Neither of us did anything. she probably just went by whomever she picked up first.

...huh. he did not expect that kind of answer. "then you don't mind if I am the older brother from now on?" at least for the next 150 years. they can switch back after that.

A birthday punch in the face for Nai. With zero love, @epilvgue and @indevendent

The blades emerge quickly as the two land their blows to his face. This was unexpected. He hadn't thought the two weaker versions of he and his brother would make an appearance. Nor did he expect any sort of attack from them. Blades shifted from his back to strike out at the two, especially the half-dead Independent that was supposed to be some version of him.

This may be their birthday, but it would also be their death day.

☨- The ironic line 'I'll be damned.' Was just on the tip of his serpent tongue when he saw who was calling him. Perhaps there was a God on his side of the playing field cheering for him. Somewhere in the massive stellar multiverse. He'd have to correct that. Belial pressed the answer button and brought it to his elfishly pointed ear.

"Heaven’s gate, St. Peter speaking. Calling to confess your sins Knives?"

Send 🧸 to find my muse as a child / @indevendent

Vash stared up at the man, a small frown playing on his lips, this was Nai but not his Nai. It was odd. This man gave off that same sort of feeling that Nai gave off but it was different and there was also the fact that this Nai was fully grown and looked like he'd exhausted himself.

"You're not my Nai..."

Rough touch @indevendent

Rough Touch

17. Your muse clutches their hand tightly around my muse’s mouth to silence them.

"HE-!" Wolfwood jerked in surprise when the Plant's hand clamped over his mouth, trying to pull it off on reflex and shooting a glare in their direction.

There's a donut left in a small paper bag, it looks like it might actually be hours old though still good enough to eat. There's a small note attached in perhaps familiar handwriting. Thank you for the thought, but the flower will suffice, Vash. -- For the record, you are the only idiot I know who enjoys these things. They're doughy.

Vet might even be able to imagine the expression of disgust dashed across the gifter's face.

Uno-Reverse! Oops! || @indevendent

| 🪶 | Oh, he laughed a little to himself. Of course; he should have thought better of that—but make donuts by the dozens was easy so it was an automatic choice to gift Rusty one, too. Well, he had a better thing in mind, as he ate his returned donut. He laughed again, scratching at his chin in thought. He had something better, he thought this version of Knives would like.

@indevendent asked: you call this "saving?" i'm not so sure i'm convinced. / Tri!Stamp meme

"Join the club." Miguel muttered looking back at the man who'd spoken up. The half spider was well aware that the way he was going about this wasn't pretty or nice but sometimes you had to do a little bad to do a little good... that's what he kept telling himself, anyway.

"I've seen what happens when nothing is done and trust me it's not something you'd ever want to see." The fear in Gabi's eyes and her voice would forever haunt him.

(enough Vash's have done this for him, time to made it hurt'd the other way around) [ bullet ] sender jumps in front of receiver and takes a bullet meant for them

— ❝ KNI— ❞

That was a shock for him. Vash did not mind taking that bullet, knowing it was not going to kill him, mostly because it would hurt his good arm, but he did not expect… this. Why was Knives protecting him out of the blue? It was unexpected, strange… but of course he immediately showed concern for him.

Before Knives could fall to the ground, he wrapped his arms around him and dropped to his knees beside him. Thanks to his reflexes, he raised his gun, aiming it at the culprit, forcing them to suffer pain after shoot a bullet in the arm where they were using the gun.

No, he would not kill. No, he would not hurt badly. But either he acted quickly or he would end up losing his only family if he did not take care of him. Maybe it was nothing but… what if it was?

— ❝ Knives hey, are you okay?! ❞

[stungunpudding]

Millie hummed as she trotted alongside him, beaming. "That's okay! Sometimes the best adventure is when you have no idea where you're going. That happens to me all the time."

Knives wanted to say something, but then swallowed it down. He didn't have the energy to argue with the woman or try to force her to leave him be. And so he was followed - "...We are going...somewhere..."

He had no idea where.

Cont. @indevendent

One would almost consider it a form of twisted fate that the person who nexted walked in through those swinging doors to the saloon was one of his own. A former worshipper, still bearing the cross on his back. The stranger had his hood pulled up, obscuring his face from view. With each step, a soft clack rang out, bandaged hand clutching at a battered looking extendable walking cane, obviously the source of the noise. Who was it? Not many still willingly bore the symbols of the Cult, few still had even managed to be given something like a Punisher. The odd man leaned against the bar counter as he reached it, pulling a face mask down as he began to speak, calm conversation quickly descended into an almost heated discussion with the bartender. The telltale giveaway was how the temperature spiked in the room, steadily beginning to climb the longer the hooded man talked. The bartender was starting to sweat now- it was no surprise that the temperature dropped the moment whatever it was they talked about ended and a drink found itself in the Stranger's hand. He pulled away from the bar, giving the bartender a hidden smile before he turned to find a spot for himself... and froze as his eyes landed on someone. No, it couldn't be. It was just his mind filling in features on an obscured face, but... he had to know. It was a quiet enough corner as well, perfect for the Firedancer to drink in. Fate really was a cruel mistress after all it seemed.

"Mind if I sit here?"

@indevendent asked: i can’t think straight. | random sentence prompts (always accepting)

Sighing softly Rem took a few steps forward coming to a stop right in front of the other. This wasn't her Nai but he was still Nai at the end of the day. Reaching out she pulled the other into her arms and held onto his frame gently a hand rubbing up and down his back slowly. "Take a minute. Breathe." She told him in a gentle voice her free hand running through his black hair, just like the other Vash she'd met.

"Uh-uh, come here!" @indevendent for baz

Pull My Muse Back Into Bed

He had to get up. He had a long day of his radio show to prepare for and he needed some coffee. Tiredly, Baz attempted to roll himself out of bed, only to find an arm quickly wrapping firmly around him.

Blearily, he blinked and looked down and followed the arm to Knives himself. Was he still asleep? His grip was tight, and Baz knew the man was stronger than he was. He tried to carefully shift and pull himself downwards to try and slip out of the grip -- this only resulted in being held more and pulled close to the Independent.

"Hey...Knives? I need to get up..."

[perpetualshade]

Are you not going to do something to help?! Don't you have the power to alter and change things in your favor?? That younger Vash needs help. Please help him.

☨- Evil cannot create anything new, They can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made. Vash's life was indeed in peril to have become faithless when the road darkens. Lead to believe in his brother's ideology that humans deserve it. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life.

"Can the young Typhoon give it to them? If I placed a sword in his hand, would he be truly too eager to deal out death in judgement?"

The eldritch appeared to silently deliberating to himself, letting the cigarette burn away in between his fingers, as he touched the fluctuating pocket mirror. It would appear to anyone else as a pocket watch. Connected to a long silver chain attached to his belt. The inside held two mirrors, one was currently active, while the other remained pitch black. In ripples the active mirror was displaying everything that was currently proceeding. Although he had the ability to see a thereafter, for which there were many, when it came to timelines of the multiverse. He reframed. "This will pass. This temporary weak shadow. " He closed the mirror with an air of indifference.

After all, natural disasters inadvertently somehow always still spring forth hope.
