CHAPTER 1 - Man Door Hand Nail Fur Door (Comic)

...aka the Zilara manifesto.

(tw: strangulation, suggestive themes) BOBA AU MASTERPOST: [link]

Yakou tells Yuma to go to the hotel and corral all the other detectives who have been sleeping soundly in the nice fancy rooms over there. Yuma, who got 3 hours of sleep on Yakou's creaky couch, says "Okay, sure thing, Dad." ((side note - wouldn't the train detectives have had rooms reserved at the hotel? Couldn't Yuma have had one of those?))

Instead of agreeing to meet up, they all send poor little Kokohead around the city doing side quests.

Pucci wants to know if Kanai Ward has any good symphonies; recordings of classical music are all well and good, but it's no substitute for the acoustics of a live concert hall. Closest thing Yuma can find is Aetheria Academy's chamber orchestra program. Musicians in Kanai Ward used to be part of a larger regional symphonic orchestra, but since Amaterasu locked off the city, they've had to resort to busking. Pucci seems disappointed, but resigns herself to checking out the high school girls' next concert anyway.

Aphex is cruisin' for a bruisin'. He spotted some suspicious movement in one of the districts on his radar (drug deals?), but every time he goes to check it out, he can't find out which people in the crowd are the suspicious ones. They must be afraid of Aphex's intimidating appearance, so Yuma goes in his stead to grill the people hanging around the square. Turns out they weren't dealing drugs, they were passing around anti-Amaterasu propaganda. They beg Yuma not to tell Aphex. Yuma goes back to the hotel to tell Aphex... who thinks anti-fascist action is cool, actually, so no need to do anything about those guys.

Melami wants to know about the local fashion scene, and is very curious about the dronebrellas she's seen around Kanai Ward. She sends Yuma to see what the big deal about them is, and once there, he gets roped into a long winding sales pitch for technology he can't afford. He relays as much of this as he can remember back to Melami, but once she hears they only come in one color, she decides she's not interested. What's the point if you can't customize it? Just get a regular umbrella. Or a rain coat. That's a much better way to show off your personality! Yuma tries not to scream about how much time he just wasted.

Zange shows Yuma a picture he took (with his mind) of a specific location in Kanai Ward, but can't quite remember where it was. Yuma has to go on a scavenger hunt to find the place that matches the picture and tell Zange how to get there. Zange assigns Yuma a numerical score based on how long it took him complete the quest (which is always too slow). This will be a repeatable quest/minigame with different locations every time.

As Yuma is about to leave the hotel, Zilch stops him. He offers a more formal introduction (since, you know, they didn't actually meet aboard the train) and volunteers (insists) to accompany the poor useless trainee as a senior detective, to show him how it's done.

Zilch has four animal companions with him at the moment: three caged mice and a dog named Bosch.

He doesn't seem to treat them very kindly, though. He isn't careful handling the mice's cage, and he orders Bosch around like one would speak to Alexa.

Anyway, Zilch and Yuma go look for the last remaining detective, Halara Nightmare. Canon ensues.

They run into The Boy and accept the quest to investigate the Nail Man murders. Halara needs some convincing.

At the church, Zilch makes a new friend, or so he thinks.

Zilch tactlessly asks the nun if her ears are natural or not, and starts bragging about how well his own surgery went. For the ears and tail, that is. The Nun doesn't like Zilch's attitude one bit. She watches him use his mice for spying and gets freaked out. The nun threatens to kill Zilch but he doesn't think she's serious.

Zilch says that he didn’t expect there to be a Metal Fox Church here, of all places. Yuma asks him to elaborate, and he says they’re a denomination that exists elsewhere in the world. The church near where he grew up was much larger and more spectacular than this one. The Metal Fox is a deity known for its fortitude and cunning, that offers protection from “hunters,” or persecution of any kind. Zilch doesn’t seem to believe in its teachings at all. #atheistpride

Meanwhile, the dog, Bosch, sniffs around and seems agitated by something. He can place the smells of all the church NPCs around the scene, but there's something else, too. Zilch barks the order - literally - for Bosch to track whichever scent doesn't belong, and the dog goes off on a solo mission.

Zilch has a plan to catch the Nail Man red-handed, but he won't tell what it is yet. He needs to prepare some stuff. So in the meantime, Yuma and Halara hold hands at several different crime scenes.

While Shinigami keeps blabbing about stripping detectives, Halara fucks off to who knows where and Yuma returns to the church to meet with Zilch. Zilch leads Yuma to the nearby woods and reveals his master plan to lure out the Nail Man by taking a doll with a slip of paper on it to the forest, and writing the name of someone for the Nail Man to kill...

"Yuma Kokohead," of course.

Yuma is terrified of being used as bait, but Zilch promises he'll intervene before the Nail Man can actually kill him, it'll be fine. So Yuma the pushover gets tied to a tree...

Halara unmasks the cloaked figure to reveal the priest of the Metal Fox Church, as they suspected. The priest begs for mercy - he was only trying to protect the people of Kanai Ward by purging it of corruption (and letting an innocent man take the fall for it)...!

Yuma thinks he might not have to rely on Shinigami's powers this time, but then...

Bosch leads them back to the church where Seth and his Peacekeepers are threatening Yakou.

And with that… it’s Mystery Labyrinth time!

Zilch’s voice is back to normal inside the Labyrinth. He seems oddly relaxed around Shinigami - because he insists this is not real and actually a dream. #atheist4lyfe

Yuma deduces that Zilch's name was written in the woods by the nun. She witnessed Zilch’s mistreatment of his animal companions and tactless assholery - but the thing that pushed it into murder territory was actually her recognizing the crest of the Alexander family on his fur coat. The full truth comes to light - the Alexanders have been known for generations as prolific trophy hunters. They “live alongside nature,” sure, but it’s a heavily controlled and subdued “nature.” This is antithetical to everything the Metal Fox Church stands for, so the nun, devout to her faith, believed Zilch to be an invasive threat to their way of life, and the peace of Kanai Ward.

And, since this revelation is taking place in the Mystery Labyrinth, of COURSE she gets a cool Mystery Phantom.

The gang also, like, solves the actual mystery.

Then once they find all the evidence they unmask the true culprit and his copycat, and the Priest's and Worshipper's souls are reaped.

Zilch is horrified. Somehow he didn't expect this was actually going to affect reality. Shinigami assures him that he won't remember any of the Mystery Labyrinth anyway, so...

Aaaaand eventually they do leave the Labyrinth. Halara is back to their usual steely exterior.

The masked priest in front of them drops to the floor dead. A scream from the church can be heard, presumably because the worshipper has just done the same. They go to check it out.

Then… Yomi shows up. He intimidates the group and doesn’t seem to deem any of the detectives worth his attention… until he notices Zilch.

Shinigami wonders if he recognized the Alexander family crest... but Yuma makes the connection and realizes Yomi might have had some sort of connection to the impostor on the train. That's pretty scary to think about. Was this the guy who tried to kill off all the Master Detectives coming into Kanai Ward? He seems dangerous...

Good thing Yomi has a devoted right hand to play around with. In front of everyone.

But anyway, regarding the Nail Man situation, Yomi decides to throw Seth under the bus, and punish him accordingly.

Bye Seth! Or should I say... Steve. :noes:

After his near-death experience, Zilch has a change of heart and decides he doesn't need a fur coat after all (seeing as it almost got him killed). Halara accepts it as payment for their services solving the case.... at least Zilch's half of it - Yuma still owes them a small fortune.

And with that the day is saved. Yuma plays a bit of baseball. Halara has a comfy new bed for their beloved strays. And Zilch... has a lot to think about.

HELLO BOBA FANS!!! Thanks for your patience waiting for this update! I hope you can tell I've been working on this very hard (in between assignments for cartoon college)! The post didn't even fit all the images I made for this chapter - I'll be sure to post the other ones separately. At some point.

This chapter was an interesting challenge to write, trying to hammer down Zilch's character - how to make him distinct from his impersonator, but similar enough to lend credit to the impersonator. It took a while but I think I've finally landed on a solid backstory. I'll be posting more about him in the next installment of Boba AU - Zilch's Gumshoe Gabs. Then after that will be Chapter 2! Super excited to rub my gay little hands all over that one.

If you've made it this far, thank you so much for reading! If you liked this, then please... I beg of you... draw me some Zilara ;_;

[flashhwing]

love whatever's going on with the gods in my one dnd game. Dev's family used to pray to the war god Rui, but they abandoned her to make a deal with a demon trying to bring about the end days, and now Rui wants them back. but Rui's very awkward socially, so she sent another god Galvin to guide Dev and give her blessings to get her on the right track

so Galvin appears to Dev in avatar form, fully corporeal, right in the middle of the party's safehouse. and she just starts mouthing off to him. and demands that he summon Rui there so she can talk to her instead. which he does. so now there's Two Gods sitting in the living room, talking about averting the end of the world.

Theo the barbarian falls in love with Rui instantly. Father Raylen the cleric has a minor existential crisis regarding the fact that a) apparently the end of the world is a thing they need to worry about but more importantly b) Dev doesn't even worship either of these gods and they appear to her on her whim, meanwhile he's dedicated his life to the god Zilara and she's never spoken to him

Relationships:

Allies:

Valdimar, Lucien Flavius, Ilia, Valgus, Shirley, Khash, Caryalind (eventually)

Personality:

Empathetic, caring, curious, patient except when people are screwing around in an important situation. Used to hiding parts of himself for fear of the consequences, and often tries to put on a brave face because he’s supposed to be the caretaker.

Emotional, but in a chill way (usually). If he hasn’t cried in over a week something’s wrong.

Family:

Perlas is the middle of three brothers.

He gets along great with his younger brother Tilenn, but is estranged from Mojelmo, his older brother.

Their mother (Lleana) and father (Andrelan) run an enchanted jewellery business. Lleana is autistic, is a mage and into crystal/geology-related things. Her sign is the Ritual. She was raised by priests of Stendarr, and while she looks outwardly cold to some (due to not giving off the ‘proper’ nonverbal signals) she is actually very compassionate.

Andrelan is a merchant with the Lord sign, who is very social and loves getting to know people. He met Lleana while seeking out enchanting services for the jewellery.

When the Thalmor started taking over they helped sneak people out of the country. A few years before the Great War, the Thalmor were getting wind of their refugee-helping activities, so they had to disappear for their own safety and that of their family. They fled to Morrowind and haven’t had contact with the rest of the family in over four decades.

Mojelmo got their business, and has been running it in Anvi with his wife and two daughters.

Backstory:

Always a sensitive child, and wearing his emotions on his sleeve, Perlas never fit in well with all the performance of Altmer society. His parents were very supportive, though his older brother was not.

From a young age he liked exploring and collecting interesting stuff. He and his mother both have copious rock collections.

He is still lowkey mad about the time someone in his class cheated at marbles to ‘win’ his third-favourite marble.

Perlas studied restoration and healing, working in hospitals.

At some point he became leader of a healing team in the hospital, and was good at it though he could get quite bossy and had very little patience with people being lax around the rules.

If people were genuinely trying their best though, he’d be a warm and encouraging mentor to them. He’s got mother energy.

Perlas also took after his parents in assisting people fleeing the country in a sort of underground railroad.

After their parents went into hiding, the brothers moved to Cyrodiil, except for Tilenn who moved to Skyrim due to being the one to destroy implicating evidence and needing to get further away.

At one point Perlas had a wife, Zilara, and a son Mylen. Zilara was a guard who saved him from being caught trying to sneak a wanted Bosmer patient away. She was gregarious and charming. Unfortunately, beneath that exterior was a deep fear. Zilara found Perlas to be a safe place, and would do anything to hold onto that. But more than that, he’d always been there for her, shoring up her feelings, and she felt owed it. She’d thrown out a jab here and there before to ‘get him used to it’, but waited until they were married to really reveal her nasty side. Over time she became controlling and emotionally abusive, and Perlas had to move out with the son who was in his teens.

Mylen got mad at him for this, and it took years for their relationship to heal.

Perlas and his son lived in Chorrol together, but then the Great War hit, and he did some healing for the Imperial side. It was a particularly sucky decade.

Mylen had an aloof and confident personality, trying to ‘play it cool’ but was really enthusiastic about things deep down. He did feel smothered by his dad at times, but they were overall very close. Mylen was more into the art side of things, and loved finding new people and places to draw.

He did often bring home joyfriends, and basically never got caught, but he had some commitment issues.

At 38 Mylen developed dementia. Perlas opted to care for him on his own, and did quite well at it though they ended up isolated. His nieces did visit, though they lived in Anvil, and their father was kind of a douche.

Mylen died four years later.

As a result, Perlas loathes Sheogorath, who may have given Mylen his creativity, but slowly took it away from him. He hates when people treat Sheogorath as a ‘jester god’. Though he treats the mentally ill with great care, especially when they’ve been given up on by others.

After having essentially put his life on hold for caretaking with little support except from his nieces, he kind of collapsed. His son was dead, and Perlas himself didn’t really know who he was anymore,

Tilenn was living in Skyrim, and they hadn’t seen each other in years. So one evening he got it in his head that he needed to go see Tilenn Right Now. Essentially he just vanished in the middle of the night to walk from Chorrol to Whiterun, and then he woke up on a cart with some Nords…

He spent months recovering with Tilenn, and then joined the College of Winterhold as an ‘apprentice’ (despite being pretty overqualified for it) to learn the other schools of magic. Mostly Destruction and Alteration. He mostly got on well with the others, except Enthir who he constantly fights with. He nearly left immediately on seeing Ancano, but mostly just tried to avoid him. Then a dragon attacked Whiterun while he was visiting and he was revealed to be the Dragonborn.

After a steep learning curve in figuring out how to actually fight, Perlas took quite well to being the Dragonborn. While he does love having new allies, he’s somewhat uncomfortable with being treated as a celebrity as he can’t quite trust if people are being genuinely friendly or not. Part of him loves the freedom of adventuring. He doesn’t particularly like killing, but he will do it. Especially if it’s a Thalmor.

As time goes on he starts to struggle internally with getting too powerful, worrying he could seriously hurt someone by accident. On principle, once he learned Bend Will he never used it again.

When Ancano’s evil plan materialised and they fought to the death, he got hit with a wave of eye of magnus magic, giving him that blue scar. It took him a while to regain his use of magic, and even now it stings sometimes.

And he was temporarily a vampire during the Dawnguard questline due to needing to get in the Soul Cairn. He hated it, especially trying not to burn himself with his own healing spells.

Much like Balgruuf he delayed picking a side in the civil war as much as possible. He’d disliked Ulfric due to him forcing the truce negotiations into giving him Markarth, and also due to being married to someone directly affected by all the racism in Windhelm, but he also never felt right fighting people who wanted to rise up against the Thalmor. Then they marched on Whiterun. He was not having that.
