What a peculiar mortal... or rather, something else.

Watching a gory demise with the same nonchalance one would an actor in a theater. Make-believe blood, the gnashing of teeth as though a show meant to entertain children. But this was no such thing. Death scented the air now, and the silence hung heavy with pleas unanswered.

And so, the one-eyed gunslinger's own words remained seemingly just as unacknowledged.

Click. Clack. A snip-snap of jaws.

The hounds, slender constructs of flesh and metal, continued their advance. Sword-tails and gun-mouths, two of each variety. Spreading out in wide arcs to encircle their prey.

And yet, their gait seemed to slow, as though uncertain of their violence. Weighing their options, weighing his words? Did they even understand speech? Or, rather... were they their own creatures, or perhaps puppets, moved by the shadowed mage's phantom strings?

An extension of the summoner, acting on his behalf. He heard the words, he simply chose not to answer. But the hounds stalled their assault nonetheless. An opportunity to make peace..? To offer further explanation? Time was ticking, and the dark Wind did not feel particularly gracious.

He still did not get what he came here for, after all. The hunt had been far too easy... a high value target was who he was after. A gunman with a hollow heart.

The rumors were certainly proven true. A crafty spark in his eye, an a callous indifference. There was danger in that man and a sly intelligence and the Hunter was not about to dismiss his Espers and risk disarming himself against a potential foe. His intel was scarcely wrong.

"......" The gunmage's silence rang out as though a sound in its own right.

Was his inaction really a grace given to the other, when the beasts were already taking position behind his back? Would they not simply pounce and seize his throat mid-speech?

It seemed that the entire situation had become quite the gamble.

Act quickly.

Finding that cloak etched with such a wicked future used as a means of defense, a protective shade to gather time from heavier thoughts, it left him speechless as it'd be underneath this very tree surrounded by a flowers crowned by the title of 'Forget Me not'. The future known as his past just couldn't truly bring itself to care right now.

Luxu from the time they spent has always been a reserved sort of guy. This he found fine, but to hear their nature feel apologetic tugged at the strings of his heart.

A warm hand would find itself settled upon their cloaked shoulder, briefly set as a look of understanding livens the hero's gaze. "Hey, it's new, being nervous when you never bumped into a moment like this is nothing to be sorry about. ..If anything, shouldn't I be a little honored?" It could look like a silly question on hindsight, but not one inch of gives credence to what could be considered an afterthought. Luxu's emotions were giving him a chance.

Allowing that hand to raise, it was Sora's turn to be a touch bashful, not meaning to initiate that contact. His heart simply found itself led by that impulse to serve as a bridge of support, to give another pride in their braver steps.

"While you don't have to rush on one hand, I'd like to know more.. Well, about you. Things that make you happy or even irritate you on another day."

troy lets @thefatalmarksman finish, his nod at a slow-growing bob till a clucked tongue breaches the conversation and the motion stalls outright. " so what you're saying is you agree with me, right? " boots striking dull thuds atop more ammo than he'd cared to count, he leans back, thoughtful, " cause i mean, the alternative is not agreeing with me and that'd be lame as hell. even for you. " ♡

Sure, Xehanort had a spotty memory, but perhaps he could still appreciate one of Braig's patented pranks? One that involved all of the furniture in Xehanort's room moved slightly to the left while he had been away? Certainly it was nothing grandiose, but he had to keep the guy on his toes.

He's 90% certain his room wasn't always like this. It's that 10% of doubt that nags at the back of his mind that maybe his memories aren't to be trusted. But he's relatively sure that the door didn't used to bang awkwardly into the desk like that, or that the bed wasn't blocking those drawers so that they still opened, but not quite enough for the contents to be easily accessed...

The way everything in the room had been adjusted slightly in one direction was subtle enough that it took an embarrassingly long time to figure out.

He was still trying to figure out why.

    “And I suppose you would know,” Zelda snapped, the words flinging over her shoulder before she could attempt to catch them. It wasn’t fair, she knew. For once, the troubles of her life were not caused by Xigbar in any form and he was, in his own way, attempting to be...comforting, perhaps? She supposed walking into the midst of a heated argument brought out some semblance of sympathy in him.

    They had never fought that way before, her and Link. He had grown so silent. She had yelled so loudly. It was as though she were the young princess again and he, her knight, forced into ill-fitting roles, forced to play their parts no matter how blank the script— 

     “You were not invited here, Xigbar,” she continued, turning her rage on him. Who else was there to turn it upon, after all? Link had left, quietly, not sparing her a second glance. “This is not your home. Now leave.”

@thefatalmarksman suggested: Frission

A delectable sweetness; nectar of the fruit which poured into delicate lips that hungered for the exquisite taste. A flavor which ignited the fever of his lust and desires. Far gone he was, as he couldn’t contemplate the present, nor the future, but only glimpses of forgotten sensations. A past revitalized as danger, fear, and passion bled into his veins as he drank. Piers cared not for the consequences of feeding on such an exotic and predacious beast such as he. All that mattered was the pleasure he instilled in him; like a high he couldn’t get enough of. One he missed for so long.

If Piers was of a more sound mind, he’d wonder how long this’ll all last before this one too, left him out in the cold like those before.

→   What if Luxu wanted a kiss, huh?? What…… IF…???

(  First Five Asks Get A Kiss  |  ( 1 / 5 )   🗂  )

Well... a deal was a deal.

Fucked up as it was  &  as unconventional as payment for helping him out of a tricky situation  -  it wasn't as dire or as dastardly as he'd initially thought it'd be. 'Just a kiss' had been requested in exchange for his help. Strange... but alright, fine  -  he was still thankful nonetheless that Luxu even bothered. At the very least, Chris lived yet another day  &  was able to complain about it afterwards.

With a rare moment to breathe found in a somewhat secluded area, he shouldn't be all that surprised that a need for payment was reminded of, turning to shoot the man a pointed look with a light squint as he presses his lips together a moment, pensively rolling over everything once more, searching through the options, the possibilities, all before he caves  &  just decides it was easier to comply then dig  &  waste anymore time.

Huffing, he shakes his head, but moves in close, doing his best to ignore the smug look crossing the man's face, the light glitter catching on the eerie but unique tone of his visible eye. A deal was a deal, but he didn't exactly specify just what kind of kiss he'd wanted so... a loophole had been found.

Chris was a man of his word after all  -  someone who kept what he'd promised. But in this kind of instance, he'd give as much as was promised  &  nothing more.

Tugging the other in to further close the remaining distance, he presses them chastely along the lightly quirked ones of the seemingly forever amused stranger, letting them linger a few moments before he draws back  &  away to grumble out a low 'there' before he moves away a step.

                                           ❝ Thanks, for the help back there. ❞

―  🜛  ―  " She's growing every day now. Bigger and bigger, Lulu. "     slender fingers spread wide in soft cradling of a growing orb  ―  warm orange in hue, pulsating at a steady rate, the brilliantly designed incubator settled upon a strong pedestal for the two to see. The soon-to-be-mother had been worrying herself sick with the childs oncoming entrance into the world, and thus, had not left the orbs side for days.

     " How wonderful. Still, how frightening. I can't believe she's nearly here. "     she yawned hugely, continuing to 'pet' the orb in a constant, placating motion.     " We ought to think of names for her. Something modern? What do you think, Lulu? "

mun questions: 3, 7, 13

mun questions (accepting)

3. whose writing has impacted your writing style the most? (you can choose anyone! famous writer or not.)

by far, my biggest writing inspiration ever has been j.r.r. tolkien. from childhood, i've been reading his stuff. i admire his worldbuilding and just how detailed everything is. sure, my friends joke about me writing silmarillions for all my blogs, but it's pretty legit.

7. describe your favorite relationship dynamic. (can be any kind, platonic, romantic, familial, antagonistic, etc.)

ougheheue uh... i think that varies between my writing partners and what works best. in the end, i like when things make sense. when they aren't forced. whatever that relationship may be! it also varies by character that i'm writing- i'm aware that most relationships with wesker are just strained and antagonistic due to how he behaves, and any positive relationships will take time to build, but that's the best part!

13. what themes/motifs do you hope other people notice most about your character?

wesker's a disaster of a man. i know he's also uhh the funniest character in RE because we also have "chris? stop it" as a LEGIT line thats canon dialogue. most of his canon dialogue is rather campy and that's why he has that charm. but on the other hand, he's a man-made monster who has decided that humanity just has to go. he's a bio-terrorist who throws away anyone who isn't useful to him, and he's closed his heart because why have strings attached when people are just going to die?

i like exploring the "why" of a character's motives. the things that built him up to be this, when he could've been anything else if left to grow up not in spencer's shadow- i work as a nurse in the mental health field, and one of the aspects i am most interested in is the impact of trauma on behavior. not everyone responds the same.

looping back to the previous answer about realism, it's that i want people to get a view of a character that is well rounded without veering too far from what we're given. to not excuse, but to shed light on the thought process. to show that unfortunately, anyone could be wesker in trauma response. i want to allow my readers to learn about reality and the impact of abuse and allow this to be a cautionary tale. yeah, humans hurt each other a lot, we fuck up a lot, but there are other paths.

i also like exploring the healing process, or the attempts at the healing process. the harsh truth of the world is that some damage is too great to heal. it becomes baseline, but truly, you'd be shocked at the impact of even one person holding out their hand to say "ok, let's give you a chance to experience positive things when you've never had that before" can do. i just want people to learn, and if not from my writing, then from the writing of others- we should better ourselves at every turn so that we may become kinder and wiser.

@thefatalmarksman sent: can't help xig's a gemini :/

Send me your muses Zodiac sign and I’ll see how compatible it is with Zelda’s!

Compatibility

Overall: 28% Sex: 20% Love and Marriage: 36% Communication: 25%

A Gemini man and Capricorn woman would seem to be quite a mismatched couple. Strangely enough, though, this is actually not a bad zodiac combination. This is because there is a hidden connection between these two signs. This connection is known as contra-antiscia.

Signs that are contra-antiscia are said to be able to “hear” each other. This pair are a better match than would otherwise be expected, resulting in a relatively harmonious relationship. On a practical level, a Capricorn woman will give some direction to a Gemini man, and a Gemini man will help a Capricorn woman relax and lighten up a bit.

Contra-antiscia are mirror images to each other along the Aries/Libra axis, which are the two Equinoxes.This means that when the Sun is in Gemini the length of daylight is the same as the length of night when the Sun is in Capricorn.
