➤ SUMMARY: LEE NOA, QIAN BIYA, & SONG NINA, three members of the six membered girl group VALLEY OF THE DOLLS answer some of the questions that TOYMAKERS have been wondering while showing the last things on their phones. The three of them show and tell what they last googled, the last texts they’ve sent, how many alarms they have, and their most used emojis. ➤ UPLOADED / POSTED: AUGUST 11TH, 2019 ➤ VIEWS: 2.8M ➤ LIKES: 746K ➤ TOP COMMENTS:  ● txymxker: an underrated trio !! when’s the subunit debut ?? ● #SUNI IS OTP: I love how at any opportunity she gets Nina will talk about Sunhui without fail haha ● rubbbyyy: OMG!

[ALL]: PUT ON YOUR DOLL FACES! Hello, we are three members of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS!

[BIYA]: Hello, I’m BIYA!

[NOA]: I’m NOA!

[NINA]: I’m NINA! And this is the Last Thing On Your Phone Interview with WIRED.

[BIYA]: Oh, it’s got to be the telephone [☎️] emoji since I use it when I post on our Twitter! Other than that I also use the yawning face [🥱] and the finger heart [🫰🏼] in our group chats a lot. 

[NOA]: As we each have our own emojis for when posting mine would be the sleeping Z’s [💤]. Additionally I have the hourglass [⏳] and clock [⏰] to tease some members when their taking too long to meet up for schedules. 

[The three girls laugh amongst each other sharing knowing looks.]

[NINA]: I know exactly who you’re talking about [she chuckles.] but my most used emoji is definitely the bow emoji! [🎀] a couple others are the clapper board [🎬] and coffee emoji [☕️] since I’m the one to always get us our drinks in the mornings.

[NINA]: Ooh, it was a picture of Sunhui! We were hanging out at a park and I thought she looked really pretty, so I took it!

[BIYA]: I love my moms! 

[The girls laugh at their maknae as NINA playfully slaps her arm.]

[NOA]: Ooo, mine is a behind the scenes photo of LILITH from our most recent comeback GIRLS, she looked cute while she was filming her part so I had to take a photo.

[BIYA]: Mine’s my cats BLINKY and INKY from when he had a break in out schedules! 

[NINA]: They’re so cute !!

[NINA]: Last video. . . I think it was just me and Sunhui playing around at the dorms. We were alone and bored, so we just went wild! I won UNO by the way, don't listen to her. [The older member jokingly looks at and points to the camera after she points to herself.]

[NOA]: You have no idea how much of a mess they made. 

[NOA and BIYA laugh.]

[BIYA]: My last video is of some TOYMAKERS! We were all outside a place for a schedule and they were cheering for us that I wanted to record out interactions for whenever I’m feeling down...

[NOA]: It’s very on brand, but mine is just me in our practice room trying to figure out choreography changes. 

[NOA]: Hmmm...WEKIMEKI’s TIKI TAKA music video! 

[She plays a small snippet of the song].

[NINA]: Ehh. . . 

[She quickly checks her phone.] 

[NINA]: How to bake a cake. . . I think it was for my mother's birthday. . .

[BIYA]: Plane tickets from Seoul to Shanghai! [She smiles.] I was given the chance to fly back home and see my family while we were on a schedule break. It was nice to see them...

[NOA]: Mine was from a 96′ line group chat I’m in with a bunch of other idols who were born in 96. It was a confirmation of a few people’s location since some of us were in the same place during our respective schedules!

[BIYA]: ‘Hey, when are you free next? We can go out to eat, I’ll pay this time!” This was to my friend YUQI from GIDLE. She paid last time so it was my turn the next time we went out.

[NINA]: To our manager. I was asking her where this room was [She sheepishly laughed to herself].

[BIYA]: When was that? [She looked over confusingly.]

[NINA]: Like two days ago, in my defense, it was a building we’ve never been to! I don’t know the layout of where the rooms were. 

[NINA]: Oh, I love this one! It was SNAPPING by CHUNGHA hehe. I love CHUNGHA.

[She shows her spotify app with CHUNGHA’s song played halfway through.]

[NOA]: Mmm...it looks like TROVE LO’s EQUALLY LOST featuring DOJA CAT.

[BIYA]: DON’T CALL ME ANGEL by MILEY CYRUS! I was trying to work on my dancing so this was one of the last songs I had playing. It’s usually on shuffle. 

[BIYA]: A fanmade video, VALLEY OF THE DOLLS LILITH GETTING CLOWNED ON EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, that I found one night. I showed it to her like five times. 

[NINA]: She’s never safe when she’s around us [she chuckles.]

[NINA]: The last YouTube video I watched. . . It was a tutorial for a makeup look that Sunhui and I wanted to try out! We slayed the look, by the way.

[NOA]: It was a lecture I had to watch for a class I was taking at the time. It’s kinda boring...sorry professor. [she lowly bows.]

[BIYA]: [She lets out an exaggerated exhale.] Listen... [She holds her hand up and glances around.] There have been a time or two where I’ve overslept and missed schedules and practices. I have so many alarms set but I also never hear them so the members have to wake me up everytime.

[NOA]: She’s not joking, she literally has like 20 of them set with a span of 3 to 5 minutes between them. I just have three, but they’re more for telling me I need to leave soon so I’m not late.

[NINA]: How many do I have?? [The girl laughs nervously, lightly scratching her cheek.]

[NINA]: Maybe. . .Like. . . A lot? I don't really know. . . I delete and add them all the time [She laughs.]

[NINA]: My last note was just some reminders of our schedule!

[BIYA]: Uhhhh...a reminder of a doctors appointment...not sure how well that would work for a reminder if it’s in my notes app... 

[She shrugs.]

[NINA]: Did you remember to go to it?

[BIYA]: Actually, yeah. One of our managers also reminded me a day ro two before. 

[NOA]: Mine is what we all wanted for dinner last night. It was my turn to order our items and pick it up. 

[NINA]: Thank you for watching us!

[NOA]: Make sure you watch out for more videos of us on the channel.

[BIYA]: And make sure you watch out for our next comeback!

Batsis HC Compilation

1.     Being the Artist/ Sensitive Also Kinda Scary Wayne Daughter HC (lol):

Warnings: Depression and anxiety mentions

·      You were the first biological child of Bruce Wayne

·      Well as far as you knew lol

·      You were younger than Jason, but a few months older than Tim

·      I suspect that if you were in the family business as long as Dick or so you’d have some issues

·      Those would include but not be limited to depression and possible anxiety

·      There would be happy days but it would still go downhill after a few days

·      On the days where it was worst, everyone would pile in for family movie night

·      Secretive person and would probably be quite and sarcastic

·      Since you were living at the manor your entire life, you would’ve lived to see Jason’s death and it really hurt

·      If you were a musician, I suspect that Alfred or Bruce would have walked in on you at the piano or something playing a terribly sad song about it or just emotions and they’d cry

·      Something like the song “Beautiful Scar” by Alicia Moffet (sad one btw like omg)

·      If you were a writer or an artist, just pieces describing everything symbolically

·      Going back to the musician, there is a music room in the manor in my mind so I suspect that there are times where Bruce or one of your older brothers will carry you into your bedroom if they find you asleep

·      You find it hard being a Wayne and all seeing as it’s like everyone around you is fake

·      That led you to hanging alone a lot which concerned Bruce

·      “Y/N, why don’t you go to the party you were invited to? It’s a beautiful day for one.” He said one day finding you reading in your bedroom.

You looked at him solemnly, “All my friends are fake and want me for money and clout.” “I don’t try to go out with them much if I don’t have to.” *Que protective batdad*

·      The library is your home as well as the gardens

·      Now public and patrol is a whole new story

·      Riddler is your favorite villain because he starts good conversations

·      Sometimes the villains have in fact questioned your health to your older brothers

·      Riddler: So, does it concern you that Y/S/H/N seems to openly hate life or is it just me?

Nightwing: We all hate life, she just does a little bit more

Riddler: ...okkayyyyyyy

·      You sometimes make very violent threats on patrol which lead to some interesting conversations in the vans back to jail

·      The paps are literally scared of you

·      You have given the famous Wayne glare but on level 1000, billions of times

·      Very sarcastic answers to some questions

·      When people on the internet come for anyone you love you shut them down asap

_______________________________________________________________________

2.     Being the Business Woman

·      You showed interest in the business for a while but never really total want to take over WE

·      No, you wanted to leave that for Tim

·      The boy deserved it anyways

·      Instead you started taking extra courses in business and such in middle school and worked your way up

·      While you didn’t like galas, you did try and make connections

·      You went to either an Ivy Leauge or Oxford or something

·      Then Wharton

·      After that you were on your way

·      If you already had a business it was booming but now it’s “extra booming”? idk but you get the idea

·      HuGE

·      Bruce was very proud and made that clear in interviews

·      Your company works closely with WE

·      Asking B for advice

·      Paparazzi doubling down on coverage for you since now you’re bigger than ever

·      Hosting you own galas

·      You either have a big house and rooms for everyone or a penthouse with the same situation

_______________________________________________________________________

3.     Being Bruce’s Favorite

·      You have the best relationship with Bruce out of everyone

·      He takes you out on father/ daughter lunch or dinner dates which is pretty fun

·      He would never openly admit that you’re his favorite

·      Taught you to drive

·      If you ever need advice you go straight to him

·      Best birthdays ever

·      You go and visit him at WE and he lets you hang in the office

·      There’s a secret fridge stocked with snacks

·      Dad/ daughter patrol

·      Read you stories as a child

·      Legit might still if you ask

·      You sit in his office to do homework

·      Has come home to you spinning in his office chair

·      Shopping sprees

·      Interviews

·      Very protective on patrol when it comes down to being in a ton of danger

_______________________________________________________________________

4.     Being the Metahuman

·      I’m thinking that you would have gotten your powers from a mission gone wrong

·      It was probably involving magic or something and you were seriously injured

·      I think that it would be fitting to be able to control darkness and things like shadows

·      Everyone was freaked out including you

·      You begged not to be sent away knowing what he thought of metas

·      He promised that he wouldn’t and just had someone over that would help you

·      Lots of tests at first and you kinda just lived in the Batcave for some time just incase

·      After that you changed your costume a bit to fit to the power theme

·      The villains were straight confused

·      “Bats what happened to your kid? Why is she scarier now?” ...”it’s complicated”

·      You know how in Young Justice, Robin had that creepy laugh?

·      It was like that now but then shadows came out of the wall

·      Everyone is pretty sure you made a few street criminals and Black Mask’s goon pee their pants

·      Best Halloween fun on patrol now

·      You scared Joker once

·      The powers do sometimes take a darker turn and you had to learn to control that since it did come from a maliciously used magic

·      “I can smell the fear off of you, clown.” You smiled and walked around him, shadows in the room, darkening your presence.  “Uhhh Batsy, I don’t like this one anymore.”

·      Hanging out with more Metas

·      You and Duke are like best friends

·      Gotta figure it out with someone am I right?

_______________________________________________________________________

5.     Being the Author

·      Your father does have presence everywhere, but you don’t like to think that that is the reason for your success

·      I could imagine you being a true crime or just mystery writer

·      Maybe even fantasy/fiction

·      Jason helps you write them if you ever get stuck

·      All of them go to your book signings and sometimes it’s embarrassing but also funny

·      You love that they support you

·      Care packages from Alfred when you’re on book tours

·      There are typically also some more things tucked inside from everyone

·      Staying up with Timbers

·      Your room is probably really aesthetic just sayin

·      Gardens and library is the beesstttttt

·      Sometimes for books, you take your time on patrol and as a superhero even if you still do it as inspiration

·      Everyone is like HoW Do ThEY COmE uP WiTh ThIS

·      Hehe

·      If you’re moved out I can imagine you have a really cool apartment or house

·      Cozy and open

·      *aesthetic*

·      One time, Damian did a book cover for you and so since he actually wouldn’t let you pay him, you took him on tour with you

·      You helped him make that his side hustle lol

·      Alfred has all of your books in the library

Getting the Dames and Dragons wiki up and running proper

Hello!!!

So I’ve been editing and adding to the Dames and Dragons fan wiki for about a year now. I’m an admin and bureaucrat and all that jazz but to be honest the wiki totally needs a revamp and I would really love some help with it!! If you would be interested in writing or editing some stuff please check out the bit under the cut! 

Thank you! :D

First off: Transcripts

@camomilafil got the ball rolling on the transcript front in 2018, but since then only 19 have been completed. I’ve done a couple myself, so I know that they can be pretty high effort and time consuming. But at the rate that they’re going right now Torva will have been defeated and the Guardian’s will have started their true quest of destroying Dawson before episode 50 even has a google doc.

Creating transcripts not only makes the podcast more accessible, but they also make a super good information base for pages on the wiki. Writing episodes and character pages is made so much easier when you can CTRL F for keywords on a transcript doc, rather than having to re-listen to specific episodes. 

At this point there are only four more episodes to transcribe for Into Avelis, but I think it would be really good if people were to begin transcribing later arcs as well. I would love to be able to stay on top of current episodes.

If you are interested in transcribing, you can find a guide on how to format here and the master doc of all episodes here. I’ve only added a little bit to the original rules of the transcribing doc, but I think they were helpful additions :). Keep in mind, you don’t have to transcribe a full episode, or even format any of it. Every little bit helps and even just doing a minute or two is awesome of you!

Secondly: Wiki Pages

Arc and Episode summaries

So far I am up to episode 16 for the summaries. I’m trying to transcribe a few episodes ahead because personally I find it way easier to write a summary with a transcript than while listening to the episode. However, you absolutely don’t have to have a transcript to write an episode summary. On the wiki I have created a page for every Arc so far (except for The Survivor's Ballad, I’ll get on that soon hehe), with an episode table so it should be pretty easy to see episodes that need summarising. 

If you don't want to summarise an entire episode but do want to help, please, please, please feel free to go back and edit episode summaries from Arc 1. I made those about a year ago before I really had a good idea on how to summarise and trust me, those bad boys are rough to read. I’ve been planning on going back and redoing those for a while now lmao. 

Otherwise, whole Arc summaries also need to be written. I’ve already done one for Arc 1, so that should give you a good idea on the type of detail needed. 

For writing episode or arc summaries, I would say try to keep them around 1000 words and generally don’t write anything too meta. Try to keep it as in the world as possible. That being said, it’s totally cool if the summaries aren’t Serious Retellings. I usually try to do jokey subheadings and stuff like that. 

There are a few more things I think are important to keep in mind while writing episode summaries, and if people express interest I am totally down in writing a guide to how I have been doing it. The best thing I think to do would be to go and read a couple of the summaries already on the wiki. Preferably from Arc 2 because I wasn't kidding about the quality of the ones from Arc 1. 

Place and People pages

Hehe alliteration.

Just to get it out there: The main Guardians’ and Maeri’s pages totally need revising. They need summaries for their actions in each arc, as well as updates on their personality sections because these dudes have gone through character development. So if you wanna start somewhere, I’d say go ahead and do that. 

Otherwise, here's what I think you should do if you want to write a character or location page: Choose your favourite character or location or item or whatever. Figure out exactly what episodes they are in, listen to them, take notes, and then write the page. If you’re feeling frisky, even transcribe the parts of the episodes that they appear in. 

Once again, I think the best thing to do is to read a few characters or location pages to get an idea of the amount of detail needed as well as what type of sections you should write. Like, their personality and appearance and whether or not to separate their page into episode summaries or arc summaries for that location/character. If people want, I can also make a more thorough guide on how to write these pages. 

To be honest I haven’t done many of these because I’ve been more focused on getting transcripts and summaries out. So far, however, I’ve been doing these pages as I go. If a new NPC is introduced and only appears for an episode or two, I’ll write those character pages as I’m writing the episode summaries. That being said, if an NPC is introduced and I know they’ll appear later down the line I’ll usually compile all information I have on them in a separate google doc and wait until later to write they’re page. The same goes for location pages, really. For example, I have a google doc full of a half-written page on Danmar that I haven’t published yet because I know that in about five transcribed episodes the party will be back there and I don’t want to have to edit it a whole bunch. 

Thirdly: Editing

If you don’t really want to write an entire summary or don’t feel comfortable enough to do so but still want to contribute the absolute most helpful and important thing you can do it edit. The wiki is like, full of typo’s my dude. (Totally my bad, I’m really bad at catching them hehe). Not only that, but it would be really good if people were to fix any grammar issues or any incorrect information within the pages themselves. Broken links, missing info, inconsistencies in categorisation, all that good stuff. 

You could also go through and double check transcripts that have been deemed ‘complete’ for any typos or formatting issues, if you wished. Absolutely anything and everything helps and it’s always good to have a second or third pair of eyes. 

Fourthly: Where to start

Here’s a list of wanted pages on the wiki. For anyone unfamiliar with how fan wikis work, a red link indicates that the page hasn’t yet been written but has been linked in another page, and that’s where you come in, my dude. 

You don’t have to write a full on, in depth complete page. Even just creating the page and beginning to summarise is great. That creates a basis for other editors, allowing people to build on what you have started. 

If you want to start a transcription you absolutely have to read the formatting and editing guide, linked here once again. Do your best to follow those rules, but it’s okay if you forget or miss some here or there. That’s why other people double check your work! This is collaborative and you can’t be expected to do everything right in the beginning. 

A Final Word

I think it would be cool if we got a few more people to semi-consistently edit and add to the wiki. I don’t expect many people, but any addition to it makes it a better compendium. 

If anyone wants to start writing stuff for it but feels like they need direction please message me! I’m sure I can find something fun for you to do :). Again, I think I’ll write some more in depth guides for how to write pages on the wiki, but if you want to do transcriptions the instructions are already in place and good to go.

That being said, I don’t completely know what I’m doing. I don’t know how to write any of the cool formatting code and stuff that some wiki’s have, so if anyone is interested in helping create a more fancy-schmancy lookin’ wiki and knows how to do all that, it would be really cool if you could get in touch with me as well. 

I would love to hear any other questions or suggestions! To anyone who chooses to help, thank you in advance!

Only The Roses Should Be Red

Card: Dorm Uniform - SSR Characters: Riddle, Cater, Trey, Deuce

Chapter 1

—HEARTSLABYUL DORM - LOUNGE—

Cater: Ugh… I just can’t get this memorized!

Trey: Oi oi, Cater. Where did your usual smarts go?

Cater: That’s easy for you to say, Trey-kun.

People have things they can do and things they can’t…

Trey: Failing next week’s written exam on practical magic could send your final grade spiraling, huh…?

Cater: Right! I seriously have to drill this spell into my head somehow…

Trey: Don’t say that while you’re opening Magicam on your phone.

Cater: I just don’t have any motivation…

But I’m able to remember things that get uploaded to Magicam…

Like the long menu names from trendy cafés, or the dates that cute clothes go on sale…

Riddle: Why are the two of you frowning?

Trey: Oh, Riddle. Right now I’m helping Cater study for his magic test. He’s close to failing.

Riddle: …He’s close to what?

Cater: Hold on a sec, Trey-kun! You didn’t have to tell him that!

Trey: Practical magic is a required course, so if you fail it here, I just don’t think you’ll be able to pass this year.

Riddle: Cater. Are your grades so poor that you might not even pass this year?

The only thing that should be red in this dormitory are the roses! It’ll be off with your head for all the red marks you’ve gotten!

Cater: N-No, no! This is the only thing I’m really bad at! I’ve never gotten red marks in any of my other classes!

Riddle: Failing something in even one of your classes should give you a sense of impending doom.

So? What are you struggling with?

Cater: “Auto-Cleaning Using Enchanted Supplies”…

Riddle: Auto-cleaning… So magic that makes brushes and rags clean by themselves.

I’m still a second-year, so I haven’t learned that lesson yet. But if it’s just the spell you need, I’ve read a book on it.

Cater: I’m having trouble with this “auto” part. The composition of this spell is almost like programming a machine.

It won’t work if I don’t follow the formula exactly, but… I just can’t memorize it…

Trey: That brings up a good point. You should avoid using any breakable objects with this magic, and be careful on the carpet…

Since you’ll have to cast that magic on the cleaning supplies beforehand.

Riddle: Cater’s Unique Magic allows him to clone himself, right?

If you’ve mastered magic that complex, how are you having trouble with this?

Cater: Well… I’m great at thinking of lots of things all at once, but I’m not that good at envisioning outcomes, or planning things out…

Riddle: So what you’re saying is… You’re smart, but you don’t put in any effort. I see.

Very well. Then I will teach you how to study.

Cater: What, seriously?!

Trey: But this is third-year level work. Is this really alright?

Riddle: Who do you think you’re speaking to? I’m the dorm leader of Heartslabyul.

Having the ability to fix all students’ problems regardless of grade level was one of the first qualifications of becoming dorm leader.

Ever since I took that role, no one has repeated a year or dropped out.

And as long as I’m in this position, there will be absolutely no failures in my dorm!

Just leave everything to me.

I will make it so that Cater gets a high score, guaranteed.

—LIBRARY—

Deuce: Um, the shelf that had alchemy grimoires was this one, right…?

Riddle: First we should use floating magic as a base… No, it’d be better to implement the transparency magic first.

A book further detailing the spell would be——Ah!

(Crash!)

Deuce: Ah!

Riddle: Ouch… I apologize, I was looking the other way.

Deuce: Dorm Leader Rosehearts! I’m so sorry!

Riddle: Oh, look who’s here—Deuce.

Deuce: I’ll help you pick up the books… Wait, you’re planning on reading all of these?

Riddle: Yes. Is there a problem?

Deuce: You have at least twenty grimoires here, and they’re all big and seem complicated…

Riddle: These are the materials I need so I can compile a test prep notebook for Cater.

Since solving student problems is the dorm leader’s duty.

Deuce: Th-That’s our dorm leader for you…! You have my respect.

The only thing I can help you with is carrying things for you… but, I will at least bring them to your desk.

Riddle: Thank you. You’re a big help.

Good. If I just summarize all of these grimoires, he should do perfect on his test.

I’m looking forward to handing him the finished product.

Chapter 2

—HEARTSLABYUL DORM - HALLWAY—

Riddle: Don’t take another step, Cater!

Why is it so hard for you to memorize just 300 pages of text?!

OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!

Cater: It takes longer than one or two days to memorize 300 pages!

Plus, everything’s written so tiny and squished together, and it’s on A4-sized paper!

Stop yelling so angrily with your face that red!

Trey: Now, now, Riddle. Let’s calm down a little.

Riddle: Hah… Y-You’re right. Sorry for that.

...Ahem. Alright, Cater?

This test prep notebook I compiled for you is designed to counter any questions you might have.

It has the basics, advanced concepts, and trick questions… If you memorize just these 300 pages, you’ll be able to understand all of that.

So stop thinking about how hard it is and just memorize this text!

Cater: I know you worked really hard to make this, and I want to memorize everything too.

But every time I open the text, whenever I get to page 3 I just get tired all of a sudden…

Riddle: Page 3, you said?

So you’ve only read up to the table of contents?!

You’re just asking to have your head roll!!

Trey: R-Riddle. I understand how you feel, but come on now…

Riddle: Nngh…!!

Trey: And Cater. If this is putting you to sleep, then start reading out loud. Put some effort into getting this memorized.

Our busy dorm leader went through the trouble of making this just for you, after all.

Cater: That’s true. Yeah. Sorry…

Alright. I have one week till my test, so from now on I’ll seriously try to study!

Riddle: Hmph. If you had me do this much for you and still end up failing…

It really will be off with your head. Keep that in mind!

Cater: I-I’ll do my best.

I’ll make a post of my plans on Magicam, and then take a break from it for a little bit.

First let’s take a picture of the test prep notebook Riddle-kun made… Here.

(Snap!)

Cater: #TestStudyTime #300PagesofText #HandmadebyRiddlekun #TakingItSeriousNow #NoDozingOff

Posted~! Alright, I’ll go back to my room and start studying. Thank you, you two.

             (Cater leaves)

Riddle: Honestly. That drives me crazy about Cater.

He’s only ever looking at Magicam like that and forgets about studying.

Trey: I’m sure you can understand the feeling of trying to get out of doing something you don’t want to do.

Riddle: That doesn’t mean it’s okay for students not to study.

Trey: That’s true…

…Do you have any foods you don’t like, Riddle?

Riddle: Hah? That’s so random.

But if I had to answer… I guess I wouldn’t want to eat anything that’s bad for you, or anything with too much seasoning.

Trey: What if you had to eat every last bite of something with heavy seasoning, no matter what…

How would you eat it?

Riddle: Hmm. I’d figure out a way to make it just a little easier to eat.

Like adding hot water to dilute the flavor, or eating it in portions with sides like bread or rice.

Or also maybe eat it with something I like…

…………..AH!

——I see. That’s what’s going on!

In that case, Cater would definitely….!

Trey: What happened, Riddle?

Riddle: Trey, there’s something I want you to show me.

Chapter 3

—HEARTSLABYUL DORM - ROSE MAZE—

Cater: *Yawns*… I’m tired…

I seriously just can’t go on without Magicam… Alright, forget I made that rule. Morning Magicam check~!

Riddle: You have a big mouth, Cater, just like the walrus who stuffed his face with oysters.

Cater: Ah, Riddle-kun! M-Morning~ You look totes cute like always today!

Oh, th-this is not what you think! I wasn’t looking at Magicam or anything…

Riddle: Ah, speaking of Magicam…

I made an account yesterday too.

Cater: Oh….. HUH?!

You started a Magicam?!

Riddle: What’s with that reaction?

Should I not have a Magicam?

Cater: No, it’s not that! It’s just, you’ve always said you “weren’t interested” and never made an account, so that surprised me.

Riddle: Hm. I just happened to feel like making one.

And I thought I’d come ask for your ID.

Cater: For sure, let’s add each other! I’m super excited to see the pics you upload~☆

Riddle: Hehe. Be sure to check everyday so you don’t miss anything.

—CLASSROOM—

Ding~♪

Cater: Oh, Riddle-kun posted on Magicam! Let’s see~

I wonder what kind of picture he posted~♪

...Huh? What’s this?

Is this… a picture of a broom?

Riddle: #FirstOfAll #TouchAllFourCornersOfYourRoomWithTheBroom #WhileCastingTheSpell #FloatingMagic #SageAndSalt

Cater: Haha, he put some weird tags. It’s like he’s not familiar with it yet; it’s cute~!

—HEARTSLABYUL DORM - CATER’S ROOM—

Ding~♪

Cater: Riddle-kun uploaded something to Magicam again. This time… a towel? Err, no, this is…

A rag!

Why would he upload a picture of a rag?

I wish he’d post more attractive pics, like selfies or aesthetic lunches.

Riddle: #AfterTheBroom #PutMagicStoneInWaterBucket #5DropsOfPurificationPotion #KeepWaterTempBelow20Degrees #ExtremelyImportant!

Cater: Wait? Don’t tell me, these tags…

—HEARTSLABYUL DORM - RIDDLE’S ROOM—

Riddle: Next is the spell to brush the carpet.

I’ll take a picture of the scrub brush… umm, what tags should I put?

“#WaterMagic #FireplaceAshes #SilverApple” and then… also…

This should be good. …There, it’s posted.

Oh. Cater immediately liked it.

It looks like his account is showing progress of his studying today as well.

I’ll leave a like. …Good.

—HEARTSLABYUL DORM - LOUNGE—

A few days later

Cater: Riddle-kun!! Trey-kun!!

Riddle: Cater. How were the results on your magic test?

Cater: Tada, take a look! I got an 85 on the written portion, and an A on the practical portion!

Riddle: That’s great!! …….*coughs*.

Trey: Good for you, Cater.

Cater: Now I won’t have to repeat a year! Thank you, Riddle-kun, I mean it!

Riddle: Hmph. I gave you thorough instruction. This was the obvious result.

Trey: I was surprised when Riddle suddenly asked me to show him how to make a Magicam account…

I never would’ve imagined he’d use pictures and tags to teach Cater spells.

Cater: Well, that seriously was a genius idea!

The spell hashtags on Riddle-kun’s account were super, super, super cool!

When I was frantically trying to study from that notebook, it put me straight to sleep, but these I memorized no problem!

Next time, I’ll take you to a Magicammable pancake café as thanks ♡

Riddle: God, you really are a sweet talker… But there won’t be a next time.

Because if you ever get close to failing a required course again, it really will be off with your head!

Cater: I know, I know ♪ I’ll work hard from now on!

Riddle: Good answer. Now, to get started…

Bam!

Cater: Ggah, what’s with all these books?

Riddle: This is just the beginning. Go through all of these to get ready for your next test!

Cater: What?! Are you serious?

Riddle: Didn’t I tell you? As long as I am dorm leader…

There will be absolutely no failures in Heartslabyul!

Social Media Survey

[joybucket]

What is your favorite social media site?  Either Twitter or YouTube, though I never use YouTube as a social media site per se so I guess this round goes to Twitter.

Do you use...

facebook? myspace? twitter? snapchat? instagram? youtube? pinterest? bzoink? another site with message boards? tumblr? deviantart? xanga?

Facebook

Do you get on Facebook every day?  Yeah pretty much all throughout the day. I used to never use it, like never ever; but back in college all announcements were coursed through Facebook so I was technically required to be on it regularly, and it was from there that I began to see memes and start to be more active. I’m a shitposter more than anything though and I rarely ever post stuff of my own. How many FB friends do you have?  I have 679 at the moment but I want to get rid of like 500 of them; it’s just such a long list to go through so I never get to proceed with my unfriending spree lol.

Have you ever been on a deleting spree?  HAHA I just mentioned that. I’ve always wanted to, but like I said 679 is already such an exhaustive list for me, and that’s considering I only started touching my Facebook in like 2019. I can’t imagine people who started Facebook in like 2009 and have 4000 friends aka most people I know.

Have you blocked a lot of haters?  I don’t have haters; at least I’m not aware of any that I have. Not that it’s something I care about at this point.

Do you get bullied online a lot?  No, but that’s also because I don’t really open the channels for people to send in hate. I don’t have Q&A handles like Curious Cat and I never pick out that option in Instagram where people can send in questions.

What's your favorite Facebook app?  Oh I never use Facebook for their apps. Are those still even a thing...? Anyway, I mainly go there to be on the hunt for stupid memes I can reshare or to watch videos that are either funny or informative.

Are you a fan of selfies?  I don’t mind if other people do it, but I think I’m honestly bad at selfies so I almost never take them. I’ve never figured out my angles or what filters look ok on me.

Has anyone ever called the police on you because they didn't like your status?  No but I have had my posts reported because they were deemed ‘offensive.’ Which is weird because my posts that have been taken down are those that speak out against disgusting men, which says a lot about Facebook runs their shit more than anything else.

Are you in any facebook groups?  I’m in nearly a hundred groups, both private i.e. for school purposes, and public.

Are you the admin of any groups?  Nah. Too much time and effort needed out of me.

Do you report abuse to group admins whenever you see it?  Yes. I report the post then leave the group.

What could make Facebook better?  They could put more effort into detecting and banning troll farms.

What year did you start using Facebook?  I made an account in 2012 because of a high school class that required us to upload this specific video-format homework onto Facebook (which in hindsight is such an insensitive homework considering that was nearly a decade ago when the Philippines was still severely behind in internet connection speeds?? Ugh). But I didn’t start actively using my account until around two years ago.

What is your current profile picture of?  Myself, posing in front of the sunflowers in school during the recent graduation season.

Did you like the old Myspace better than Facebook?  I was never a regular user of Myspace, so...

Pinterest

What are some of your favorite boards?  I’ve never had a clue what the purpose of Pinterest was. I mean I have an account...but I’ve also never gotten the hang of it?? so I never touch it hahaha.

Have you ever done a craft you saw on Pinterest?  Well no, because I’m terrible at arts and crafts anyway.

Do you have a Dream Wedding board? If so, what's on it?  No.

If you have a Dream House board, what does your dream house look like?  Ok fine this one I did start hahahah but I don’t even remember what I added on there anymore. I’m sure it was filled with modern-style houses with minimalist interior design.

Do you wish they'd bring the "like" button back?  I’m not even aware of this option.

Do you have a Bucket List board?  Not aware of this either.

Which do you like better: Just Girly Things or And That's Who I Am? The second one sounds less childish. < Same, and it sounds like it covers more.

Do you have a board for tattoos you like? If so, what are some of your faves?  No. The only one I ever made was the house one, then Pinterest quickly became boring from there when I realized there wasn’t much else I could do besides making mood boards.

Do you have a "Random" or "Miscellaneous" board?  No.

Have you ever reached the maximum number of boards?  No.

Do you have any secret boards?  No.

Have you ever had a Pin deleted because of copyright laws?  No.

Do you have a Color board? No.

Do you have an About Me board? If so, what's on it? No.

YouTube

Do you have a YouTube channel? If so, what is it?  Technically I do but I only have it so I can tailor video suggestions to my interests and so that I can like videos and subscribe to channels I like.

What kind of things do you post on YouTube?  I’ve never posted any video on there, not even private ones. I’m also not the type to comment.

What do you like to watch on YouTube?  These days YouTube serves as a stress reliever for me, which is to say I would typically go for humorous BTS-related compilations because there are sooooo many hilarious channels that make these great videos haha. Occasionally I’d go back to channels or series that I used to frequent, like Good Mythical Morning, Buzzfeed’s Worth It and Unsolved, Try Guys, Watcher, etc. 

Are you subscribed to any channels?  To so many.

Do you watch any vlogs? If so, what ones are your favorite?  Hm probably Jiwoo’s, though her channel is called Mejiwoo. I find her content calming and conversational and basically fun to binge-watch when I’m not looking for anything super super particular to watch.

If you have a channel, how many subscribers do you have?  0. I’m just a lurker.

Will you subscribe to my channel? (msg me if you want a link!)  Only if it’s really fit to my interests, I guess.

Do you watch music videos?  Rarely; not a fan of MVs in particular. I only really ever put an exception for BTS.

Have you ever watched a TV show on youtube?  Well no since their copyright team works hard and works fast lol. I do watch entire video game walkthroughs from time to time.

Have you ever worked out to exercise videos on youtube?  No, I can’t care less about working out tbh.

Have you watched Amanda Todd's famous video?  No. I’m scared that it might be too upsetting or triggering for me.

Have you ever looked up how to do something on YouTube?  Not really, I prefer looking up articles that can teach me step by step in words.

Do you get a lot of hate comments on youtube?  No, I’ve never posted anything on there.

How long have you been a youtuber?  Never been.

Instagram

Do you post on Instagram a lot?  I do 1-3 Instagram stories in a week, I would say. As for posts, I only have 4 in total and I don’t really feel the pressure to add more. I just post when I feel the want to.

Have you ever posted a poll on instagram?  Nah, I’m not too sure if anyone would participate so I’ve never tried. If you don't have an iPhone, do you wish you could use Instagram?  I’m pretty sure other operating systems can also use Instagram...

Do you have any followers?  Around 50, I think.

Do you like Instagram filters? I’ll use them sometimes to make my stories appear prettier.

Twitter

Do you think twitter is stupid? Hehe show me at least one person who doesn’t think so. < Coming from someone who regularly uses Twitter, agree. It is crazy stupid but stupid is what I’m there for. Which is honestly not always such a bad thing to me - I like that people are more themselves, more stripped-down, vulnerable on Twitter. People always seem to want to show off their best selves on Facebook and Instagram, so I’m actually kind of grateful that there is at least one social media out there where people can just be their clumsy, goofy selves.

How often do you tweet?  Probably a maximum of five a day. Nowadays I’m on there mostly to just scroll through my timelines.

Do you get on twitter every day?  Yes, both on my personal and fan account.

Bzoink

Do you make a lot of surveys?  I never make them but I try to take them as often as I can.

Do you take a lot of surveys?  Haha sorry, was one step ahead of you. Yeah, I do.

Do you post in the message boards?  Nah. I dunno if I’m even permitted to check the message boards on Bzoink considering I don’t have an account.

What types of surveys are your favorite?  Categorized surveys like this one or countdown ones can be fun, but at the end of the day I like sticking to the classic random survey.

Do you have friends on here?  Not on Bzoink, but here on Tumblr yes! There’s a number of people here I like keeping up with :)

Do you post all your secrets on here?  Again, not on Bzoink; but yep I share pretty much everything here.

What type of survey do you think I should make next?  Anything but basic/about me-themed ones that will ask for my name and eye color and weight.

Do you read peoples' answers to your surveys?  I’ve never made a survey.

Do you think you are good at making surveys? 

Do you try to make unique surveys?

What type of surveys do you want to see more of?

Controversial topics

Myspace

Did you have a myspace when you were in high school?  I started an account in like 4th grade when Myspace was ~big, but I didn’t find it fun and everyone my age was on Friendster anyway, so I was largely inactive.

Do you use myspace now?  No. Is it still even around? I have no clue.

Do you miss bulletins? I didn’t get to join in on the fun so there’s nothing to miss.

Did you like customizing your profile with the old myspace?  Not attributed to Myspace but I did have a lot of fun customizing my Multiply and Tumblr accounts back in the day. That was a period where I really got to learn and play around with HTML :)

Did you have music on your profile?  Not on Myspace again but I did on Multiply! I had a cute little playlist that played the songs immediately as soon as you landed on my page hahaha.

Did you learn HTML when you used Myspace?  Tumblr, yeah. I believe the skills are still there but I’ll definitely be a bit rusty.

Did you have a customized cursor?  Oh, no. Wasn’t a fan of those as I found them a bit tacky.

Did you use glitter graphics?  Also found those tacky haha no, I never used those.

Do you remember posting glitter graphics on friends' pages?  Nope.

Did you make "dolls"?  I don’t recall ever making those.

Did you use photo captions?  Not sure what this is referring to so let’s just say no.

Did you have a photo slideshow on your profile?  Hmmm nope, I don’t think so.

Xanga

Did you have a Xanga account back in the day?  No. It wasn’t big here so I had never heard of it until I started taking surveys on here and heard people mentioning Xanga, actually.

Do you have a xanga account now?  No.

Did you post photos and quotes on your xanga page?  I never had any.

Snapchat

Do you use snapchat?  I did; I was superrrrr active on there for a time. It kind of just got old at one point, though, and my feed got more and more dead until I too just left my account dormant altogether.

What is your favorite filter?  There were a lot of cute ones on there that helped me be more confident with taking selfies but my favorites have to be the dog and flower crown ones.

Tumblr

Do you understand Tumblr?  I had a better handle of it when I ran a fan account that required me to be more active; but now that I really just go on here to take surveys I just use the basic functions and nothing more. But yeah, I understand just enough to get by.

Do you use Tumblr?  Yeah. Even on the days I don’t post surveys, I regularly go on here to keep up with friends I like keeping up with like Elisabeth, Lane, Steph, Lina, Julie :)

Other

What forum sites did you use to love that aren't around anymore?  There was one message board I frequented for this girly/tween magazine I used to collect, but I won’t share the name.

Are there any other great social media sites that you recommend?  I think this survey was able to cover all the main ones I use.

Do you use a photo editing site? If so, what?  I use apps instead of sites to edit my photos.

Do you ever use BeFunky.com?  Nope.

Do you use a video editing site? If so, what?  Nah, I rarely have to edit videos in a super intricate, detailed way. Apple’s video editing features suffice for me.

Have you ever downloaded fonts?  Very occasionally since it’s never necessary.

Have you ever used photobucket to upload an image?  No but I remember going on there back in the day to look for images. I never uploaded any, though.

Do you use iTunes?  Not anymore. I have an account on Spotify now.

Do you listen to music on Pandora?  No, never used it.

[cutegirlmayra]

How do you think Amy and the others would feel after Unleashed if they didn’t know where Sonic was, and he just came back after them knowing he was gone for days?

Prompt:

Professor Pickle stared out his window, the orange sky beginning to wane down into its final rest into the night. Before that, the clouds had been stretched like thinned out cotton, speckled with little grey holes that let the sunlight in from the previous rainstorm.

Amy was flipping through a book, but sighed heavily and placed it down after a few more skims of her eyes and the tips of her fingers against their flimsy pages.

“Water damage.” Professor Pinkle’s voice was one of fact, but had a little grain in them that he cleared out with a few gruffs. Digging deep to get the sound right, he finally spoke a bit more within the norm for him, “He’s been gone an awful while...”

“That’s normal for Sonic.” Amy’s usual cheeriness must have been masked over by the gloomy weather, but as she gently set the book aside, she smiled lightly to him and placed her hands delicately in front of her on the table she was sitting at. “He’s probably taking in the sights, enjoying them more now that the planet’s been saved.”

“Ah, does he usually just... up and fancies himself out without telling anyone about his... eccentric journeyings?” He seemed tied up on the idea, but Amy just tried to put together what he had said.

“Umm...” She politely looked away and up towards the ceiling, her mouth forming a pursed line before nodding to him, thinking she might have understood him this time. “Yep! Sonic loves to run! So it’s often hard to tell where he goes. Still, I try not to worry too much. Don’t fret too much about Sonic, he’s a free spirit! After all...” she hopped down from the table and glided her hand across the books of his shelf, opening her mouth to smile wider at the legends and lores they all contained.

“Wow...” she removed her hand a moment to look the whole room over, “Can you imagine? What if every mythological story is true? Whew! Sonic would have his hands full for sure.” she held her hands behind her back, tilting her body in an energetic and young, feminine way as once again--the old professor’s eye caught that mask of her true emotions.

“You’re very real... when you wish to be.” The Professor mused, “And so are legends. They all stem from some fable of truth.” he nodded his head, turning to the skies again. “That fox friend of yours... Ohh... the names not coming to mind...”

“Tails?” Amy thought it strange that he wouldn’t remember that signature feature of his. She turned around and tilted her head back, child-like, but with a sense of innocence as she walked over to the window to look up at him.

“Ah, that’s the one! He’s out there flying about and looking for the ol’sport, right?” He seemed excited to say it, “Makes an old professor wonder... what’s the logic in you not going about to do the same, hmm?” He waited a moment... before taking a peek at her reaction. “Hmm...?” he noticed her sudden glum appearance and turned more fully to her, his eyebrows arching a bit in concern. “Don’t particularly like the rain, dear?”

“It’s not that.” Amy lightly rubbed her hands against the windowsill. “I’d be running with all my heart through the puddles to find him... but...”

“Ah, the legendary word.” Professor Pickle nodded his head and straightened up from leaning over to speak with her. “Say all the more you want, but ‘But’ is a strong, connecting word. Makes me think you have tried before, and again, and again... and finally, discouragement has uprooted that wonderful spirit of adventure in you... and kept you nicely by my side, eh?” He had such a ... way... with words.

Amy’s ears bent back slightly, and she looked away from Professor Pickle.

“Do you... Do you think he purposefully doesn’t come back... sometimes?” Amy felt a bit of her heart sink at admitting her awful doubts. She had pushed them away for so many years... “It’s only when one of us goes after him out of worry and not seeing him for so long... that we ever see him at all.”

“Ah, thus is the life of one called, ‘the blue blur’, eh? An illusionary fallacy of a man and friend, when really, the true underlining of a fable book, no?” He gestured back to his stories. “If one is truly real to their feelings, then they’ll comply. But!” He raised a finger up, happy to express some wisdom to the girl in yet another use of the legendary word he had previously described--”He is very much real, and your worth to him shouldn’t be crippling on the edifice of what is real or not real. Sonic... must be opened like a book on mythology... and then he is real within you and your emotions.” Professor Pickle was a true wizard, one with a line that could combobulate a mixture of confusion with priceless words faster than a puzzling riddle.

“So..?” Amy squinted her eyes, trying to figure it out, but hinting to the kind professor that she couldn’t quite follow that this time.

He laughed, seeing her struggles, and placed a hand encouragingly on her shoulder, “I’m sure he’ll either return, or he’s waiting for you... dear girl.” He gently then turned her towards the door, as her eyes widened at what he was implying. “Go to him... he probably misses your enthusiastic smile... I hear he’s quite fond of it... along with chocolate supreme, or something or other.” He stood like a posh Englishman then, proud to see the girl off. “Take care, now. And I wouldn’t mind it if you stopped for some delectable sandwiches. Pick me one up, will you? You know the kind I like.” he hmm’d his joy at the thought. “Oh yes, quite tasty after the smell of fresh rain, wouldn’t you agree?”

“I would.” Amy breathed out, unable to hide this time her true love and wish to see her blue hero again. “I’ll check up on Sonic, and I’ll find him!” her usual pep was returned to her, and he smiled to see it through his hairy, elderly brows.

“Hmm... yes... not a ‘But’ in that fine sentence. A good statement, really.” he watched her head out, dashing through the puddles in a true, bright expression of youth and joy. “Ah, the grandeur of youth.” He went on, walking up to the open door and seeing the sunset, “I do hope she remembered a coat... or at least an umbrella. Brr... best shut the windows, then.” He slowly... softly... closed the door.

Amy had traveled quite a ways from Spagonia, now racing through the cobbled city of Apotos, as her footfalls splashed up to scare the pigeons off their roosted spires of the extraordinary architecture.

The glimmer of the puddles only radiated her feelings of excitement. She paused only once to look around, her quills swishing freely as she did so, before feeling the wind brisk them forward and turning that very direction.

“Ah!” she gave out an surprised sound, but one that knew exactly what the wind was saying. “Found him!” she took off, experienced in this sort of routine, before skidding to a halt at an ice cream vendor’s cart.

“One sundae supreme, sir!” the man bellowed out happily, “Though it’s getting awfully chilly, sure you want one?”

“It’s for a friend.” Sonic’s voice rang through the streets and straight to her heart.

Tails’s plane flew overhead, and Sonic looked around the man’s tarped covering and excitedly looked back to him again, “Make that two, please!” He held up two fingers as the man just laughed, making another. “Extra on those chocolate flakes.”

“Comin’ up!”

Sonic waited as he watched the progress, but by this time, Amy had already waved out a hand and called out his name, “Sonic!!”

“Huh?” Sonic turned, his hand on his hip swayed up in a leisurely greeting, but his eyes glistened with the falling sun as he saw his friend, delighted to see her. “Thought you’d show up sooner.” he admitted.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“You... you were waiting for me?”

“Uh-huh.” He nodded, “Figured you and Tails would be worried about me, sorry about that.” He scratched behind his head, looking down. “I... had some thoughts and things I needed to take care of. I’m buying these in honor of a good friend.” He watched the man hand out the newest creation he had compiled together as Sonic gave him a thankful nod and gestured one to Amy. “On the house! Or so he says.” Sonic laughed, “My treat, basically.”

Amy lovingly was touched, and took the treat. “Thank you.. Sonic! Hehe!” she licked the vanilla part and placed a hand to her cheek, “Emm~ My favorite! Light and fluffy!”

“Thought so.” Sonic gave her a thumbs up, “Now, how to get Tails down here to say the same.” Sonic teased, looking up at Tails flying about and waving. He gestured that he was landing, and arched his biplane far off into the distance.

Amy and Sonic watched both him and the sun set over the city and hills... finally resting over the ocean... before blipping out of sight entirely.

“...For Chip.” Sonic raised his hand towards the fading light, that then completely disappeared, as though high-fiving it... one last time.

He lowered his hand and then looked to Amy, “Good?” he noticed it melting as she stared at the scene and then him.

“Huh..? O-oh!” she quickly began to try and lick it up as Sonic laughed at her vain attempts.

“We should catch Tails,” He raised the other ice cream up to the night sky, “After all, now that I’m not some big Gaia monster, I can’t just stretch my arm out and hand him it. Plus, I’d like to see the look on his face when I asked the vendor for extra chips on his.” He smiled brightly, gesturing back to the ice cream man as he leaned on his cart and closed his eyes, smiling back.

It was so pleasant... the ice cream so rich.

And Sonic’s smile...

“How are you feeling... about all this?” Amy wondered out loud, as Sonic also seemed to take a moment to think about it, tapping his foot to the ground and slightly crossing his arms, gazing to the cobble streets.

“Well,... I’m used to this form, so I guess it won’t be that hard to get used to again.” He looked back up at her, and to reassure her, bounced a little as he swung a fist upward, “Guess I’ll just stick to what’s true and blue!”

Amy giggled at his antics, then followed suit, startling him as she took his hand.

“H-huh?” He watched her take the lead, eating her ice cream. “What’s this all about?” He seemed surprised, but then looked a bit awkward, “What are you feeling...” he seemed to shy back, and she just pulled him forward.

“Hmm? Oh, just that I don’t want you taking off without me!” she looked back after licking her lips as though this was nothing new, “Come on! Tails will definitely want to hear all about this one, and you know me, never a dull moment in your stories, I’ve gotta hear everything!” as is her normal way of showing affection, she charged forward, dragging him behind.

“Wha-ah-ah!” He stumbled after her, trying to not lose balance and drop Tails’s ice cream.

“We were all so worried about you... I’m glad I found you.” She kept her head forward, “And that... you feel like yourself, but maybe missing what you lost... just a little bit... we’ll try and help the best we can with that,... Sonic... You can rely and depend on us.”

Her words of comfort made him look to her again, and as his eyes adjusted to the new, but fast-pacing darkness that covered the land... he held her hand just the tiniest bit tighter... but no transformation this time.

He had been missing Chip, but also missing his friends, as well...

He loosened his grip on her hand after a moment, as though accepting that he wouldn’t become the Werehog again, and nodded to her statement.

“Sorry.”

“We’ll always worry about you! So don’t sweat it! Just know, that we’re always waiting for you to come back safely!” she looked over her shoulder, happy to be with him, and then walked quickly while she ate towards where Tails had landed, a while away... but a pleasant stroll through the city never hurt anybody...

Apotos’s was brimming with night life fancies, like lights and soft music playing on the streets...

Tails’s plane’s propeller slowly spun as he dismounted it and excitedly ran over to Sonic after checking that everything was a safe landing.

“Sonic..! Oh? For me?” Tails waited to take the ice cream, but looked about ready to take it, looking for a signal from Sonic.

Sonic had let go of Amy’s hand a while ago, which made her puff up her cheek, but she was happy he put up with it for so long anyway that regardless, she was still pretty happy to be with him.

She swayed her body as Sonic nodded and handed the treat over to his friend, smiling. “All yours, buddy!”

“Wow, thanks!” Tails excitedly took it, “Woah! So many chips!”

Sonic folded his arms, basking in the look Tails gave off. “Knew you’d love it.” He gave him an iconic wink and thumbs up, bouncing it in the air a moment.

Amy carefully held her ice cream, half-way eaten, in her hands. “Ooohh... isn’t there something special about mine too, Sonic? Something I like?”

Tails was hurriedly devouring his Ice cream with enthusiastic licks, he must have been hungry, as Sonic turned to Amy and nodded too.

“Extra whip, extra cream, and a whole lot more strawberries.” he winked, “You said, ‘light and fluffy’ before, right?”

His kindness and consideration made her blush as she hid behind the delicacy. “Hehehe~ You remembered~”

“I don’t forget a true friend.” He looked back to Tails, “But I sure do miss them...” and then up to the sparkling night sky again. “Man, I forgot how fast it changes from day to night...” he marveled a moment, solemnly.

“How could you forget?!” Tails exclaimed, “Anyway, what happened?” His face had some ‘leftovers’ on it and Amy--scoldingly--pointed it out in mime. “Oh! S-sorry...” He cleaned himself up as Sonic chuckled to himself.

“Well... it’s a long story.”

Amy saw him look straight ahead, and the sudden sorrow that matched her gloom from before.

In empathy, she smiled, “I’d love to hear a good story.” she remembered the Professor’s words, and as Sonic turned to answer her, she held up her ice cream to him with a finger sticking out, protesting, “And no ‘But’s! ‘But’s ruin the story!” she chimed, moving the ice cream out from hiding her face and wagging her finger as though Sonic from his earlier years.

Tails let out a silly, young boy laugh at her impersonation, and Sonic just lowered his eyes and shrugged openly at it.

“Guess I have no choice.” He mused, and began to retell his amazing adventure as a Werehog while the two enjoyed Chip’s last treat...

What they didn’t know... was that it was sprinkled with the chocolate Chip had loved... so much...

[oasisfound]

Daylight Falls.

Frost creeps up the burned beams and splintered glass. Sunshine climbs over a ruined ruin. A cold breeze washing over this land of snow.

A metallic sound echoes through the air, the music bouncing over scraps of devastation, a figure bounces to the electro beat, swaying from side to side, a bucktooth grin on their freckled face.

As the music played, a crackle and pop accompanied the impact of their hoverbike. A toolbox was slung across their hip as they pulled off to the side. In one hand they held a crowbar, and they clutched a box in the other, and they started to dig out a wonderful golden chest from the ash that they had just discovered buried. “Look at you, ohohoh! You are gonna make mama seriously rich,” she grinned as that soothing PING echoed, the wonderful sound of a single golden latch popping off one fancy-decorated chest.

“Look at you...gorgeous” she gradually lifted a large compilation of gold and emerald jewelry, themes that matched the once stunning halls of green wallpaper lined in gold. Crystalline flooring that all now ley in total destruction, surrounding probably the happiest scavenger to ever live. This game of dance and crowbar continued until the sun began to pass beyond the large holes on the ceiling of Paradise’s grand caverns.

When the light was getting lower in the sky and large shadows cast backward. That's when this scavenger began to discover the bodies encasing the lower floors near the shattered, frosted ballroom coated with snow and ash.

The scavenger knelt down, music blasting, and off popped an arm, a jaw, removing the rather delicate corpses from the chests and glittering gold they had died protecting.

Their spunky demeanor faltering when they witnessed the corpses made of plant matter. Branches and petals are now ruined or covered in their natural gem. Rolling their eyes the scavenger began to gather these petal-shaped gems, pinks...blues...greens...gold...gold...gold…their brows quirked as they looked ahead seeing a trail of gold, then it just dropped into “onyx? No, Obsidian?”

they frowned and proceeded to follow it, slowly peering their head around the corner of a massive ruined entryway. There she saw a figure with his back to her, wings open and surrounding ahead of them, protecting something.

“oooOOOHHHH This one gotta be BIG” they grinned, running over and beginning to shove the wings open as hard as she could.

“ohohoho still warm~ must be imp-” there curled up in his brothers' arms was Elliot. “Great, another plant. Just what I needed” the scavenger rolled their eyes and stepped back, crossing their arms with a scowl...their eyes slowly widening as Elliot began to stir, they whirled around and speed-walked off towards their bike “don't look at it don't look at it don't look at it” they leapt onto their motorbike and as they revved it up a hand slammed onto their handle “AAAAAEWHAT DO YOU WANT YOU OVERSIZED CACTUS.”

Elliot gradually blinked, watching her, he looked utterly exhausted. Shutting his eyes for a moment, wincing at the blasting music, his first set of ears lowering. he leaned against her handles “Me and my somewhat frozen brother are looking for a ride~” “my bikes too small.” “it can toe, I saw your latches on the back” “yeah toe what?” “you’re a mechanic” “scavenger-”

“you want to be a mechanic” they scrunched their nose in retaliation but said no more “anyways, the point is you’re clever, you’re resourceful~ and you’re really crazy over scavenging our property so-” they revved the motor, slammed on the gas, and wrenching the handlebars from his hands they took off into the east. Dropping gems along the way as this scavenger became no more than a small dot in the distance.

Elliot sighed, trudging over to Able and settling beside him with a huff “well. That was useless.” he rubbed his face “we could just wait for another one, they're bound to be all over this place soon hehe” peering at Able, the creeping fear was setting in, and he once more pressed his ear to his brother's chest...waiting..waiting...thud...so calm, and so slow, nearly nonexistent, and the frost was getting bad.

His legs were undoubtedly brittle. He had already started losing his petals and turning to the oranges and browns…” I’ll get us out of this mess...just think...think.” he looked to the east, ears low, eyes dim...his brow furrowed slightly as he began to notice the gems “oh...ooohk…” he looked up into the far horizon “civilization, worth a shot.”

catching Ables’ limbs, he hauled him over so he was laying on his back. And began to attach a sled made of shattered timber and glass, tearing down ropes that used to be their ballroom drapes, and tying them together, weaving in and out.

He was using his ballroom cord...his ballroom cord, this was gone, they were gone. Memories, good times, cherished pieces, youth fun, his hands started to tremble “heh steady out there El...steady out” he whispered as he tightened the rope, picking it up and tying it to himself next “if you don't keep a level head you’re gonna lose your brother too. C’mon, let's go”

Elliot attempted to make it, he endeavored to cope with the cold, but his joints started to go brittle and frigid before even reaching the end of the property line, still, he shoved, and pressed, until his leg sank in and he hit the earth, trembling in the snow face down...he knew, he hated, but he knew. So he stood and began to rip down drapes, cloth, bedsheets. “I don't know why I'm trying to preserve this. It’s all going to the black market anyways...nothings sacred nothings left.” he choked it the words as if they'd make him feel better...but it really didn't.

Taking a deep breath in he began to march onwards into the East, picking up gemstones and tinted petals of families knew before, people he grew up with, the first two were the heaviest. They warped his gut, clouded his vision, his heart ached and pounded in remorse, seeing familiar hues of old friends now gone. Was it his fault? Things didn't go the way they were supposed to.

Why did he make it out... how- and it vanished, it became grey, and all he saw was grey. The colors were gone, the light was white. His skin continued to shift to a grey, as dark petals developed across his throat. He pressed on. He sensed no cold, no temperature, not even when sweat drenched him just to freeze over his clothes the moment it reached any outside air. “You’re gonna o-owe me s-so much sushi after t-today” he whispered cracking a little smile, a few tears rolling down his cheeks as he pushed onwards through the snow.

“One stride at a time...the sun is drifting into Paradises’ grand opening, a window that leads off the peak, letting in the sunlight that spans for miles. It was also the path of the sea...meaning warmth...and fish...hopefully...if rumors were true, there wasn't one cold beach in Paradise. Perfect…hang in there Able..”

Next Weeks Upload shouldn't have any setbacks this week caught me in the middle of moving so everything got a little funky.

july ‘20 writing progress

total words written: 24.7k

most words written in a day: 2,132

least words written in a day: 27

current yearly total: 128,245

projects worked on:

- mostly the sylvix forehead kiss fic, which is now officially called “cover my skin with your sunkissed light”, and edited/posted the first chapter! - also ended up working a lot on that klance Summer Romance fic i mentioned last month...i kinda want it to be a bit of a surprise tho so *zips my mouth shut* - worked a tiny bit on altea rising - alsooo started planning yet ANOTHER sylvix fic which is like a 50s-era spy/crime thriller au...

july goals:

- write 30k words for my camp nano goal! - definitely wanna finish a draft of the sylvix forehead kiss fic, maybe edit & send off to betas by the end of the month? - if i finish that, i do really wanna start my other sylvix fic (which we’ll call….the Dream Fic) - um. i know i say it every month but like. maybe work a tiny bit on altea rising?? and/or maybe red skies if i’m feeling extra spicy - oh i also might continue working on this like klance Summer Romance fic i started like a year ago and never finished, just cuz i figure it’d be nice to publish it before the end of the summer and i don’t think it’s gonna be that long but idk

august goals:

- finish writing the last chapter of “cover my skin...” and continue updating it every friday - as mentioned for my july goals i’d really like to finish/post that one kl fic before the end of the summer sooo maybe finish that up and get it edited/posted before the end of august but lol we shall see - start working on the sylvix Dream Fic - continue working on altea rising and/or red skies if i have time

notes:

whew what a month! i didn’t quite reach my camp nano goal of 30k words but i’ll still pat myself on the back for getting prettyyyy close. i will say though i feel like i kinda overworked myself during july and during august i think i will slow down a bit in terms of word count at least. there’s a lot of things i wanna work on but i also don’t want to burn myself out. 

anyway, the thing i worked on most this month was the sylvix Forehead Kiss Fic! it ended up getting to be so long i made the decision to split it up into five chapters. so i’ve posted chapter 1 and i’ve finished writing up to chapter 4 and am just starting chapter 5...so ideally i’ll be able to post a chapter a week for the next four weeks! i’m super excited about it and i’ve been really blown away by the positive reaction to the first chapter already, so i’m very much looking forward to releasing the rest of it! 

on the topic of sylvix, i also hope to start another fic for them this month...the one i have dubbed the Dream Fic which is basically this like dreamscape/alternate reality fic that also involves fake (?) marriage so hehe i’m really excited about it. and esp seeing the positive reaction to my first sylvix fic, i think/hope that people will enjoy it *fingers crossed* 

...in yet more sylvix news, as i mentioned i had an idea for this 50s spy au which i’ve written out a lot of notes about, although i have yet to compile it into a coherent plot/outline. this one is a bit more complex cuz it involves like plotting out a whole mystery which is NOT my forte but i will make an attempt *cracks knuckles* so i might try to plan that out a bit more this month. probably will not get around to actually writing it for a few more months tho. 

but also, klance readers don’t worry i have not forsaken you! i have been working a lot on that kl summer romance-y fic which i’m hopinggg i will be able to finish before the end of the month. it’s about 10k right now and i’m getting towards the end so *clenches fist* i will try to get it done! 

aaaand as usual i’m still way behind on my kl multichap fics (altea rising and red skies) buuut i have been adding to them....very slowly. with altea rising especially things have been a lil up in the air bc i have written a lot more of it...but what i’ve written of the so-called “last chapter” has gotten so freakin’ long i may need to split it up into several chapters so lol we’ll see how that goes. i would like to put some more work into it tho and try to come to a decision with how i wanna release the rest of it at this point. 

so yeah UH a lot to do this month (what else is new??) but i have a lot of stuff coming up that i’m very excited about!! :)

my essay is here🤩🤩🤩 i wish i could put a “read more” break in this things and i hope i’m not bothering anyone too much with how long this is ;;;;; - 🦔

PLS NEVER EVER A BOTHER I PROMISE HEH I'LL USE A READ MORE FOR THE SAKE OF SPACE DON'T WORRY!!! AND I’LL ALSO ANSWER IN A POST HERE INSTEAD BC ITS GONNA BE LONG LONG I CAN PUT THE READ MORE FOR US

hyunwoo picking up on jisung’s bullshit and how he’s manipulating (?) mc??? 👁👁 so mc always wanted to kill the king bc of her memories, but after hyunwoo took the blame for her for something she killed him for killing hyunwoo???? i recall mc went to jail for stealing documents, could those be about the serum so she could learn how to get her memories back??? which is also why hyunwoo took the blame for her (assuming it’s bc of these documents) bc he already had contacts from other planets which could make him look guiltier than mc?????

i know the ENTIRE timeline of these flashbacks is SO confusing right now i am gonna compile them and put them in chronological order so it can hopefully make more sense and help piece things together better so LOOK FORWARD TO THAT TOMORROW!! it will help a lot with understand the flashbacks and the timing of them i PROMISE but a key piece of info is in the previous chapter where y/n mentions how the military wants to make things seem consensual and agreed to when using the serum!!

YEOSANG! CHOSE! WOOYOUNG! 😭 you can clearly see how much i SIMP for moc woosang guess who owns my whole heart? it's woosang.

“it may be selfish, but i don’t want you to push me away. i would rather be hurt and still have you in my life rather than to be perfectly fine without you” AM I CLOWNING OR IS THIS FROM A MEMORY OF SAN

HMHMMHMMM U ARE NOT CLOWNING INDEED IT IS

ugh that convo with wooyoung :(((( my brain is also too small to figure out what daichi is up to but i’m also so excited to see what mc’s (and woohwa’s) other powers are; we’ve seen a bit of those back in act 2/3(?) with san’s former captain (?) but aaaaaaaa

ur brain is NOT SMALL! daichi's plans and intentions aren't clear yet and haven't been addressed so if you managed to figure out what's going on i would be absolutely floored and slightly terrified as well bc i haven't let anyone see my planning doc for moc 😳 but! now that we got woo back we can have some siren progress and see some more of those powers and abilities yeehee which we've seen in act 1 and act 2 then once with seonghwa in the dreamscape in act 3!

BUT THEN WHY DID HYUNWOO DIE????? DID HE STILL TAKE THE BLAME FOR MC STEALING THE DOCUMENTS AND KILLING THE KING???? AND DOES JISUNG HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT SO HYUNWOO WOULDNT BE ALIVE TO TELL MC WHAT REALLY HAPPENED???? BUT THEN WHY WOULD HYUNWOO AGREE TO WIPE HER MEMORIES A SECOND TIME????? DID JISUNG SOMEHOW MANAGE TO MANIPULATE HIM INTO THINKING IT WOULD HELP MC???????

indeed she did NOT kill the king after hyunwoo was killed teateatea jisung and hyunwoo definitely did something, and that something has been alluded to in past flashbacks and i'll be including those in the flashback timeline im doing BUT it will make tons of sense once you see them all side by side and in order HMHMHM lots of GOOD THEORIES HERE MHM

“stop, that’s weird! it looks weird, yeo, please! It looks like you’re trying to su—“ ah yes a little humour to relieve the anger i feel for jisung and the sadness i feel for soojin :’)))))

[ bestfriend!jihoon x reader ]

word count: 1429 genre: fluff a/n: alright, im leaving y’all with a long one bc i’ll be leaving tomorrow so im not sure when to post one of the reqs. and my exams are slowly approaching yikes  hehe im sorry in advance, especially for those who sent their reqs! but i promise to work on them so dont yall worry. i worked hard on this one so i hope y’all like it! oh and thank you anon for requesting!! shamelessly tagging @lunarjihoon haha let me hide under the rock after u read this ily

3: “I was wondering if you like me.” 10: “You’re my first, and hopefully my last.” 16: “I’ve never kissed anyone before.”

The cold air coming from the air conditioner touched my delicate skin, making me rest my nape on the edge of the soft chair. The very sweet and calming hum of the guy sitting across, added my sensation of being alive. His song was everything, even with the absence of its words. My eyelids started to feel heavy from the mix of different notes coming from his mouth. Then something came up to my mind. 

Recalling the day Jihoon and I first met, I didn’t really like him at all. 

It was our Senior Year in high school when I’d been elected as the president of English club. My position was of course very overwhelming, but the other members of the club had told me that I deserved it. So I believed them even when I doubted my abilities. Our club obviously didn’t happen to be the only club at school, there we have the Drama Club, Sports Club, Science Club, Math Club, and a lot more. But let’s not forget the club where Lee Jihoon belonged, the Music Club. Lee Jihoon, also known as the president of the said club, was assigned to participate for the upcoming Valentine’s Day. His members were very much worried by their assignment, for they knew that their dear president never had an experience with all the chocolates and flowers. Jihoon’s talent with producing music was very known and beyond the mind of every composer, but the task given to him was toughest stuff for him. Sure he’s fine with all the accompaniment, sounds, melodies, rhythms, everything but the lyrics. So, what did our dearest Music Club president do? He stole one of our poems, specifically my poem. 

I only found out what happened a week after he sneaked inside the Drama Club’s room. Everything was done. He already made a song using my poem. I didn’t let it slide so I barged inside their room to confront him. I was filled with anger that I could totally punch him in the face, but I didn’t. I didn’t, because he told me how much he loved my words. He told me that he felt the everything flowing on my speech. He told me that my works were nothing but a tangible masterpiece.

So that incident was unexpectedly what brought us together. And I’ve been liking him ever since that.

“Your poems are slowly turning into something else.” I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him speak from the side.

I turned my head to look at him. He was holding a bunch of papers, staring at them as if it was a newly existed material.

‘What do you notice?” I asked, cocking my head to the side.

“It’s starting to get lame.“ He said, pursing his lips to prevent from laughing.

I playfully kicked his knees which were only a meter away from me.

“No, seriously. You can do better than this.” He removed his gaze from the paper then nodded at me.

“What’s changing?” My eyebrows knitted as I asked him.

He softly tossed the papers on my lap before intertwining his fingers together. “Your words. They’re very different.” He almost whispered. “I know you’ve written love poems before, but these are very new to me. They’re starting to get alive, as if you’re really writing them from your heart.”

I gulped, resting my right foot on top of his thigh. “I didn’t know that it’s very noticeable.” My lips pouted a little.

“Actually, I’ve been noticing your works for three months now. I didn’t tell you at first because I thought you were only trying something new. But as the months passed by, they were getting deeper.” He said. I looked down at the papers on my lap. “Are you dating someone?”

“WHAT? No, what are you talking about?” I exclaimed louder than expected. My hands flew over my mouth when Jihoon glared at me.

“You seem like you’re dating someone. Do you even read your works?”

“You know that I don’t put my emotions in my works.” It’s the truth. I write my poems from the things around me, never from what I feel. But when I told myself that I’m in love with the man sitting across me, I changed the tradition.

He looked at me sternly, observing the way I behaved. I caught a glimpse of his clenched jaw as I removed my foot from his thigh to put it back on the floor. “This one sucks.” He muttered, reaching for a paper that was resting on top of the keyboard and waved it in front of my face. “His lips?” He read the title. He reached for another paper from the stack of my poems, piled neatly at the corner. “His eyes? Goodness, I wonder what that guy looks like.” He sighed, shaking his head.

“He’s cute, very manly in my opinion.” I replied in retort, spinning my chair to avoid his gaze.

“Two seconds ago you said that you weren’t dating.”

“I’m not!" 

“Then who’s this guy?” 

His very unfamiliar tone made me turn my head to him. I flashed him a look of annoyance, and he raised an eyebrow at me. “That folder I gave you last week,” I said, pointing at the piece of cardboard resting beside his action figures. “It’s the compilation of my ‘lame’ works. If you read all of them and you’re smart enough, you’ll find out who.”

“I’ve read it.” He quickly replied. His simple response made me hitch a breath. “That’s why I was wondering if you like me.” 

I tried shaking off my nervousness and replied casually. “It’s too obvious that those are my confessions.” I turned my chair to face the other side of the room. 

The atmosphere filled with deafening silence, even our breaths were inaudible for we were both holding them in ourselves. My chair spun in one swift pull of Jihoon, making me face him. 

His eyes, full of the things that I love about him, locked with my empty ones as he leaned closer to my face. I took a glance on his lips, the part of his face that I wrote about. Then back to his eyes, my favorite of all. I wonder what the world looks like through his eyes.

“You could’ve told me sooner.” His was voice low, sending shivers down my spine. 

“You know I can’t. I’m not good with saying those things verbally.” I replied very timidly, which made him break into the smile that fulfills my day. 

“That’s why I stole your poem on that day.” He said. “Because you could tell everything through your written words. And I think that’s the most attractive thing someone can do.” 

I grabbed confidence from nowhere. “So you’re implying that you find me attractive?” I grinned at him.

“No.” He said. “You’re beyond attractive. You have no idea how many times I tried writing a song about you, and your face, and your words, and your lips, and everything about you. Just, you.”

“Why didn’t you finish one?” I asked softly.

“Because I’d like to write about your lips. You have no idea how much they're distracting me, even right now. I wanted to say how it feels like to have your lips against mine, but I couldn’t, because I’ve never kissed anyone before.” His expression changed into sadness and frustration, which broke my heart.

“Then do it.” I commanded him.

“What?” He flustered.

“Kiss me.” I said simply. “Then I could help you write the song.”

In a split second, his soft lips crashed onto mine. Everything that I wrote about his lips was not a lie. Everything, how it feels, its perfect shape, its fitness to my own lips, its taste, his taste, they’re all fulfilling my assumptions. 

Both of our shared kiss lingered right before we pulled away. I looked at him to see the same expression that I expected him to have, and it made my heart plunge into the sea of love. 

“Should we start the song?” I bit my lower lip, slightly savoring his taste.

“You’re not going to help me. Let my write my own experience.”

“That’s my first kiss.” I shrugged.

“You’re my first, and hopefully my last.” He stated seriously before turning away to grab a piece of paper and a pen.

Everlasting Party - Mystic Messenger Time Loop AU (pt 35)

<- Previous Chapter | Chapter Index | Next Chapter ->

Summary: You’re caught in a time loop during the 11 days leading up to the RFA’s party unless you can do… what, exactly?

13+ Spoiler-free! This was a bit of an unusual chapter to write, but hopefully you enjoy it~ Thanks again to Masdevallia on AO3 for beta-ing!

Thanks for all the nice feedback on the previous chapters! I'm glad you guys seem to like the video format for the chatrooms, since it allows me to be a bit more creative if I know you're going to see it all animated. Hope you like this chapter, too ^^

You sigh as you read through yet another error message preventing you from compiling your code. Goddammit. You’ve probably just forgotten to close a bracket or something. You jump to the lines of code mentioned in the error and start clicking through, trying to see what your mistake is.

You’d thought learning programming languages would be easier than learning real-world languages – how many rules could there be, anyway? – but you’d take mastering Arabic over this any day. At least in a natural language, forgetting to type one damn semicolon in an essay doesn’t render the entire paper illegible.

Ah, there it is – you’d typed an extra bracket after one of your ‘If’ statements that ended the function early. You correct the typo and hit “Run” again to compile your code.

... Another error.

 ***

Though his research didn’t suggest she’d taken any sort of computer science classes, the day after their new member joins she messages Seven asking if he can help her figure out what’s wrong with a program she’s written. He supposes she must code as a hobby, then. The thought makes him a little warm inside.

It’s an easy fix, in any case – one of her functions shares a name with a function in the language’s built-in library, so all she has to do to get rid of the error is call it something else. It’s not a very complex program; it looks like the kind of thing you might find as a question in a programming textbook. Seven wonders if she's learning to code for any reason in particular, like wanting to make a game or boost her resume for a job she wants. Whatever her reason, it's kind of fun helping her out. It’s nice to have an excuse to talk to her more often.

 ***

She bought a new computer. From the screen he’s dedicated to the apartment security feed he hacked into, he watches her sign off on the delivery. Well, it's about time. He's seen the laptop she had before this, though he's not quite sure what would make her decide to buy a desktop computer instead of a new laptop. Unless she thinks she's going to need extra processing power for something like gaming.

… Does she game? He leans back in his chair and runs his fingers through his bleached bangs. He didn't think she did, but at this point he's almost more surprised to find things he does know about her. Maybe this is a new hobby she’s getting into, or an old one he didn’t know about. He shouldn’t jump to conclusions too soon. He know he has to talk to her at some point, explain things, get her to understand, but nothing ever seems to go as planned.

She seems to tell the delivery person to leave, and when they’re gone she looks around warily before struggling to carry her purchase into the apartment. For just a moment, she glances at the security camera and their eyes meet, though she wouldn't know it. Then she's gone and he's left staring at an empty hallway. Well. Break time is over, then. The saviour might be upset to find out how much time he’s spent studying these camera feeds, but he’s already got most of his code completed for what’s to come next. Sometime soon the pieces should all fall into place.

 ***

At half past midnight, Seven's phone rings. Who would be up this late…? He checks the caller ID. Oh. It's their new member. He'd just talked to her a few hours ago. What could she have to talk about now?

“Seven? It's me again. I did what you said, but now I'm getting a memory leak error.”

“So you fixed your sort function?... I didn't think you were using heap memory for that.”

She sighs. “Well, that function doesn't, but I was using it as part of another program, and that's where the memory leak is. I pass it a pointer to the array I'm trying to sort.”

Seven stares at his computer screen, swivelling his chair back and forth. “Can’t you store the information in a vector? Then you wouldn't have to manage the memory yourself.”

“Store it in a… vector?” Her voice becomes distant and he can hear her typing something on her keyboard. “... the heck is a vector…” she murmurs.

Seven chuckles. “Let me know if that fixes the problem~”

“Gahhh… this is getting ridiculous. Yes. Okay. I'll try using vectors. Thank you… again.” She sounds a little on edge.

“No problem! I should get back to work now.”

“Okay. Me too. I…” She stops mid-sentence and lets out a long breath. “I'm sorry,” she says. I didn't mean to sound so curt. I… I really am grateful. You keep answering my calls and walking me through solutions to all the silly problems I have. I know you're busy. Honestly if I didn't have you, I'd probably just give up on the whole thing. So, thank you.”

Seven isn't really sure what to say. Sure, she'd called a few times and interrupted what he was doing, but she'd only had a couple of questions and besides, coding is what he does best. He's happy to get to know her better. “Um… you don't have to sound so serious, hehe. I like taking breaks to talk to you.”

“Even when all I do is bombard you with questions?” There's a smile in her voice and Seven wishes he could see her face. “... I like talking with you, too. I should let you get back to work, though. Don't stay up too late!”

There's a click and the call ends. Seven realizes he's still smiling a little as he puts down the phone.

 ***

Your fingers fly over the keyboard, regurgitating memorized code onto the screen for yet another attempt. This time… you really hope this time will be the time that works.

Whether he knows it or not, Seven has been a huge help in creating this program. You can't help but smile a little at the irony that it's his own code you're trying to hack.

Hacking, as it turns out, is much less glamorous than it sounds. There isn't some magical line of code that nets you unlimited access to a system, nor a mystical ability bestowed to hackers that let them make sense of a well-encrypted program. Even after spending all this time learning how to code and studying up on computer and database security, a lot of your successes have been due to extreme luck and guesswork, and the rest largely thanks to brute-force techniques. And of course, it doesn't hurt that you have a lot more time than most people to find a solution through trial and error.

You send the compiled code to your phone and check the time. Okay. You've only got a few minutes after you start until Seven notices something is up and blocks you. Here goes.

<- Previous Chapter | Chapter Index | Next Chapter ->

Small disclaimer: although I'm currently majoring in Computer Science, I'm not a hacker (lol) so I'm taking some liberties here~ But the coding stuff I mention are all actual errors I've run into and problems I've had to solve. Wish I had someone like Seven to help out...

I always love hearing what you think, so leave a comment or send me an ask! Here’s a link to the masterpost of all my Mystic Messenger fics. Thank you very much for reading! ♥

Could you please ship do Drabble ship for me with bts? And if you accept more than I group then exo as well? Thanks! 
I’m 5'5 with wavy chin length hair. Famously awkward and clumsy- sonny life is basically a cringe compilation. I’m also introverted, quite and kinda nerdy.
I may come across as rude,but I’m super sweet I promise.I am pretty laid back and just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ most of the time, I don’t really get stressed or mad easily either (mainly bc I’m too lazy to care). I’m a dancer,though I’m shy in front of people.I also love cats, reading,CHOCOLATE,stormy weather and the sky . Idk how to end this, so peace out?

Hello again, omgahd so gorge in person. And since I’ve already did a drabble ship for you on bts, I’ll give you a little part 2. But, I gotchu on exo.

 From bts, I ship you with… Suga (pt.2) ~

 -After the kiss and stunning confession, it’s been kinda hard to schedule a date with Suga. 

 -Tbh, you felt more distance than connection with your Suga bear. -One day, he finally stepped up outside the embarrassment shell, and stepped foot in your house. 

 -Y/N: *sighs* Oh, look who’s here. The guy I was supposed to go out with last week, and the week before and before that

- Yoongi:*covers your mouth* Come with me. *pulls you closer to him in a hug covering your eyes* 

 Y/N: *awkwardly laughs* You know, this isn’t blood, sweat and tears, right? 

 -He helps you walk step by step still being folding you with his hands. You can feel a nice breeze, but also the sound of palm tree leaves rustling. 

 Yoongi: You can open your eyes now…y/n-ah 

 Y/N:*you slowly opened your eyes in fascination as you look up at the dark, but colorful clouds* This is, what’s the word? 

 Yoongi:*chuckles* Beautiful, Fascinating, Cute as you. *pokes your cheeks* I know it’s a little straight forward, but your the first girl I bought to my backyard.

 -The both of you stare intensely at each other for a long time until, the sound of sprinklers turn on and leave you both soaking wet. 

 Yoongi: Let’s go inside. Hot chocolate? *shields you from evil sprinklers with leather jacket* 

 Y/N: You know it, my favorite! *smooches him on the lips and run inside to continue the special first date*

 (Omgahd, imaging how this date will end )🙈) 

 From exo, I ship you with… Lay~ (The odd, strange, but dorky lovely couple) 

-You two met at one of his fan meeting event for his new lead role in the movie. You were one if the fans that stood out in his eyes. 

 -Staring contest between you two was happening all night. He could barely function when the MC was asking him questions. 

 Mc: Hehe, Yixing’s acting awfully strange this whole time. Is a special lady in the crowd tonight. 

 Yixing:*smirks* You can say that… 

 -The crowd looks all around curious, but shocked at the same time. They were trying to find out who he was looking at the whole time. 

 Yixing & Cast: Be sure to check out our new movie. Annyeong ~ 

 -Fans were cheering, paparazzi cameras were flashing and you were standing there unable to handle what just happened. 

 Y/N: You can say that, huh? Well, he can’t deny this. *smirking to yourself talking out loud* 

 Yixing: Heh cute. *he whispers in your ear close*

Y/N:*squeals a bit scared, but brushes it off with signature awkward laugh* Phew, you were a little too close there. *covers face trying to hide smile*

-Yixing ends up making moves by pushing your hands aside and softly kiss you on your lips

Yixing: Don’t hide your smile, you look best with it on. *imitates how you were acting while laughing* 

-The both of you sneak off having your alone time, and from that day forward it was hard for the both of you to resist each other. 

(Want to see his wax figure so badddd~) 

I hope you liked your ships @pseudopo & hope your days are filled with love and happiness~

Yo fuck you, Kanye, first and foremost For making me do this shit Muh’fucker Had to throw everybody out the motherfucking room ‘Cause they don’t fucking….

Yes sir Now is Kanye the most overbooked? Yes sir Though the fans want the feeling of A Tribe Called Quest But all they got left is this guy called West Better take Freeway, throw him on tracks with Mos Def Call him Kwa-lI or Kwe-li, I put him on songs with Jay-Z I’m the Gap like Banana Republic and Old Navy, and oooh It come out sweeter than old Sadie Nice as Bun-B when I met him at the Source awards Girl he had with him – ass coulda won the horse awards And I was almost famous, now everybody loves Kanye I’m almost Raymond’ Some say he arrogant Can y’all blame him?

I was on the train man, you know So after that I went back home And man I’m, I’m just in Chicago, I’m trying to do my thing You know, I got groups I got acts I’m trying to get on, and like there wasn’t nothin really like poppin’ off the way it should have been One of my homeys that was one of my artists, he got signed But it was supposed to really go through my production company, but he ended up going straight with the company So, like I’m just straight holdin’ the phone, gettin’ the bad news that dude was tryin’ to leave my company And I got evicted at the same time So I went down and tracked the beats from him, I took that money, came back, packed all my shit up in a U-Haul, maybe about ten days before I had to actually get out So I ain’t have to deal with the landlord ’cause he’s a jerk Me and my mother drove to “Come on, let’s just go” Newark, New Jersey I hadn’t even seen my apartment.. I remember I pulled up “Kanye, baby, we’re here”, I unpacked all my shit You know, we went to Ikea, I bought a bed, I put the bed together myself I loaded up all my equipment, and the first beat I made was, uh, ‘Heart of the City..’ And Beans was still working on his album at that time, so I came up there to Baseline, it was Beans’ birthday, matter of fact, and I played like seven beats And, you know I could see he’s in the zone he already had the beats that he wanted, I did nothing like already at that time But then Jay walked in I remember he had a GuccI bucket hat on I remember it like, like it was yesterday And Hiphop said “yo play that one beat for him..” And I played ‘Heart of the City..’ And really I made ‘Heart of the City,’ I really wanted to give that beat to DMX “No I think Jay gon’ like this one right here”.. And I played another beat, and I played another beat And I remember that GuccI bucket, he took it and like put it over his face and made one of them faces like ‘OOOOOOOOOOH..’ Two days later I’m in Baseline and I seen Dame Dame didn’t know who I was and I was like “yo what’s up I’m Kanye..” “Yo, you that kid, Kanye?” “You that kid that gave all them beats to Jay? Yo, this nigga got classics” “Jay got classics, G..” You know I ain’t talkin shit.. I’m like “oh shit..” And all this time I’m starstruck, man I’m still thinking ’bout, you know I’m picturing these niggaz on the show The Streets is Watching, I’m lookin, these were superstars in my eyes And they still are, you know So, Jay came in and he spit all these songs like in one day, and in two days…. I gotta bring up one thing, you know, come back to the story, the day I did the ‘Can’t be Life’ beat on track, I remember Lenny S, he had some Louis Vuitton sneakers on, he think he fly And Hiphop was there, I think Tata, John Minnelli, a bunch of people I didn’t know all these people at the time they was in the room, and I said, “yo Jay I could rap..” And I spit this rap that said, uh “I’m killin y’all niggaz on that lyrical shit Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push miracle whips..” And I saw his eyes light up when I said that line But you know the West, the rap was like real wack and shit, so that’s all the response.. He said “man that was tite..” “That, that was cool That was hot..” That was it You know, I ain’t get no deal then, hehe.. Okay, fast forward.. So, Blueprint, H to the Izzo, my first hit single And I just took that proudly, built relationships with people My relationship with KwelI I think was one of the best ones to ever happen to my career as a rapper Because, you know, of course later he allowed me to go on tour with him Man, I appre– I love him for that And at this time, you know I didn’t have a deal, I had songs, and I had relationships with all these A&R’s, and they wanted beats from me, so they’d call me up, I’d play them some beats “Gimme a beat that sound like Jay-Z..” You know, they dick riders Whatever So I’ll play them these post-Blueprint beats or whatever and then I’ll play my shit I’ll be like, “yo but I rap too..” Hey, I guess they was lookin’ at me crazy ’cause you know, ’cause I ain’t have a jersey on or whatever Everybody out there listen here I played them ‘Jesus Walks’ and they didn’t sign me You know what happened, it was some A&R’s that fucked with me though, but then like the heads, it’d be somebody at the company that’ll say “naw..” Like, Dave LottI fucked with me, my nigga Mel brought me to a bunch of labels Jessica Rivera, man “Man, you niggaz is stupid if y’all don’t sign Kanye, for real..” I’m not gonna say nothin to mess my promotion up “Y’all niggaz is stupid” Let’s just say I didn’t get my deal.. The nigga that was behind me, I mean, he wasn’t even a nigga, you know? The person who actually kicked everything off was Joe 3H from Capitol Records He wanted to sign me really bad “We gonna change the game, buddy..” Dame was like, “yo you got a deal with Capitol, okay man, just make sure it’s not wack..” “you gotta make sure it’s not wack..” Then one day I just went ahead and played it, I wanted to play some songs, ’cause you know Cam was in the room, Young Guru, and Dame was in the room So I played…. actually it’s a song that you’ll never hear, but maybe I might use it So, it’s called ‘Wow..’ “I go to Jacob with 25 thou, you go with 25 hundred, wow I got eleven plaques on my walls right now You got your first gold single, damn, nigga, wow..” Like the chorus went Don’t bite that chorus, I might still use it So I play that song for him, and he’s like “oh shit” “Oh shit it’s not even wack..” “I ain’t gonna front, it’s kinda hot..” “it’s actually kinda hot..” Like they still weren’t looking at me like a rapper And I’m sure Dame figured, ‘like man If he do a whole album, if his raps is wack at least we can throw Cam on every song and save the album, you know So uh Dame took me into the office, and he’s like “yo man, we, we on a brick, we on a brick” “you don’t wanna catch a brick” You gotta be under an umbrella, you’ll get rained on.. I told Hiphop and Hiphop was all, “oh, word?” Actually, even with that I was still about to take the deal with Capitol ’cause it was already on the table and ’cause of my relationship with 3H That, you know, ’cause I told him I was gonna do it, and I’m a man of my word, I was gonna roll with what I said I was gonna do Then, you know, I’m not gonna name no names, but people told me, “oh he’s just a producer rapper” and told 3H that told the heads of the Capitol, and right– the day I’m talking about, I planned out everything I was gonna do man, I had picked out clothes, I already started booking studio sessions, I started arranging my album, thinking of marketing schemes man I was ready to go And they had Mel call me, they said “yo…. Capitol pulled on the deal” “Yo, Capitol pulled out on the deal..” And, you know I told them that Rocafella was interested and I don’t know if they thought that was just something I was saying to gas them up to try to push the price up or whatever I went up…. I called G, I said, “man, you think we could still get that deal with Rocafella?”
