HELLO EVERYBODY!! i’m afraid I have some bad news. turns out, i’ve played these games before /ref

yeahhhh being forced to watch the mental downfall of the characters around me, especially when it’s directly spurred on by others, is a massive detriment to my mental health, so i’m going to be bowing out of the askblog side of the fandom for the most part.

this account will stay up for archival purposes, but I won’t be posting to it or answering asks from it anymore. sorry to disappoint!

it was fun while it lasted! peace out

[th3gu1de]

[The creature's unrest seems to clue in the Guide; guess this thing can't focus very well right now, either. Maybe he ought to get the two of them somewhere away from the...moon? Come to think of it, will that even work?]

"...hmmmm...here, why don't we head somewhere a bit, uh...cooler..."

[It's worth a shot, he supposes, Getting up from the grass, he attempts to scoop up the creature, same as he did back when it was injured.]

“Ccccreature!”

[It’s a tad embarrassing, slurring his words like this, but he’s around friends, right? And besides, it’s HOT. Guide doesn’t know whether he wants to dump a cold bucket of water on top of himself or simply let the heat burn him away. How can it be so warm and still be nighttime?? He feels like he’s mel-

No. No, he really doesn’t feel like he’s melting. Phantom pains crawl across his skin as the memories pierce him suddenly, but they slip away just as fast; he can’t keep his mind in one place when it’s hot…]

“Hi! Hi…”

[He lets himself fall over in front of the creature, sticking out his tongue for dramatic effect.]

“Bleh.”

- @th3gu1de

[ 1x1x1x1 startles a bit at the sudden voice, but not long enough to get back up before it recognizes Guide. It makes an excited chirp-like noise, rolling to face him as he flops down onto the ground by it. ]

"Hi."

[ It doesn't sound very enthusiastic, but that's probably just a result of both the static and fatigue. Sort of a.. chronic monotone voice, per se? ]

[th3gu1de]

[Guide perks up, happy to have received a response at all. That...feels wrong, for some reason. (Why is that, exactly? It's not like it's a housepet that can't understand a word that's being said. Have a bit more respect.)]

"Oh...my goodness, y'h...with all that fur, y've gotta be burning, huh...?"

[His sentence trails off. He lets out an annoyed huff of his own.]

"Th'ssss's getting hard t'work around...you need a name, tha's whas you need! ......Y-yknow, so I...don' gotta call you 'creature' all the time! Don' wanna...jus' call you 'creature'..."

[His voice sounded slightly strained after that pause. Really, he was trying to convince himself more than the creature... (Oh, and we're NAMING it now too? How lowly do you think of it?!)]

“Ccccreature!”

[th3gu1de]

"Silly guy..."

[The poor thing might have to wait a little while longer for some sleep - seems Guide hasn't noticed it's fatigue. He continues petting it's hair, seeing as it seems to enjoy it.]

"...so hot...'sso hot out today.....t'night...? If i's alwys the moon out n'over us, d's it matter wh'ch it is? M'not sure..."

[Seems he's very prone to rambling while he's like this...]

"D'you mind thhheat, mister....uh...."

[He stops. Thinks on it a bit. Then tries again.]

"D's the heat make things h'rd fr you too?"

“Ccccreature!”

It had so much fun...

How do you know it won't do that to you again...

Or perhaps something even worse?

[He visibly startles at the thought, his water suddenly spiking as if it were a circular visualizer during a loud bass hit.]

"I-!"

[Hunching his shoulders inward, seemingly subconsciously, he averts his gaze. He swings his arm around in a circle, his water following the motion as it loops around and around.]

"I...I guess I...don't know...that...but surely I'm not the ONLY one, right? I wasn't...I haven't done anything wrong, especially not since then, I...surely he's got better things to do?"

[th3gu1de]

[A smile forms on his face. Bringing his tongue back in, he ruffles it's hair playfully.]

"Wh'tcha doin out here, lil' bugger? Y'r still healin, ar'ntcha? Y'jst like it out here?"

“Ccccreature!”

[th3gu1de]

Blue haired low taper fade would be interesting soo...

Imagine if Flood Escape Guide got a LOW TAPER FADE

"THE HORRORS!!"

[...when he thinks nobody's looking, Guide pulls out a dictionary and searches up what a "low-taper fade" is.]

"...that doesn't sound all that bad, actually-"

[th3gu1de]

[Guide pokes his head into the room. His Fedora is a little misplaced on his head, and his hair is a complete mess underneath. His eyebrows are scrunched together with worry, like he’s doing something he’s not supposed to.]

“H…hello? Creature…?”

[Goodness, his voice. He sounds as much of a wreck as his hair looks. Meek and self-conscious, the voice barely even feels like it belongs to the same person anymore.]

- @th3gu1de

[ 1x1x1x1's eyes widen the moment he recognizes the voice, not seeming to realize how much of a wreck Guide sounds and looks. It scrambles to its feet, dropping the berries it was eating. His tail seems to sway excitedly as he responds. ]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

[Is it...purring? Oh my god, it is purring. If that isn't the sweetest thing Guide's seen in a while...]

[...seems like the creature's decided it's nap time. Well hey, who is Guide to argue? It's not like he had any better plans. Some rest in the proximity of a friend will do him some good, he thinks.]

[He closes his eyes and lets the soft rumbling soothe him to sleep.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

[Poisonous.....that's a shame. He was hoping to eat some with it...

...he's quickly run out of conversation topics. He was hoping to put on a little show for the creature, but now that that's out of the question, his mind is drifting back to...recent events.

His face falls a little bit. He can't quite confide in the creature, seeing as it doesn't understand what it's saying, but he can at least take comfort in it's presence. He snuggles a little closer to it.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

"No water."

[It's said in an affirmative tone, like a promise, and Guide intends to keep it like one. He notices the apologetic look on the creature's face, smiling as it returns his gesture.]

"Don' need to be sad. We all have fears."

[He moves over to inspect the berries it was eating. He picks one up, rolling it between his fingers before letting it fall into his palm.]

"Good berries?"

[Guide pokes his head into the room. His Fedora is a little misplaced on his head, and his hair is a complete mess underneath. His eyebrows are scrunched together with worry, like he’s doing something he’s not supposed to.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

[Guide's eye's widen. He is filled with regret almost instantly.]

"Oh! Oh no! Oh no no! Sorry! Sorry-!"

[He frantically reassembles the sword and moves it to the far side of the room. (Goodness, doesn't this feel familiar?) He crawls over to the creature and bonks his head against the hands covering its face apologetically.]

"No water?"

[He already knows the answer, but he asks just to make sure.]

[Guide pokes his head into the room. His Fedora is a little misplaced on his head, and his hair is a complete mess underneath. His eyebrows are scrunched together with worry, like he’s doing something he’s not supposed to.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

[Before the creature's eyes, the sword begins to levitate. Guide spins the sword around midair, moving it this way and that (except towards the creature) laughing to himself all the while.]

"Oh! Oh! And! It gets better!"

[Guide positions the sword in front of himself again. The surface of the sword seems to ripple lke a pond, before suddenly deforming into a mass of water.]

[Guide pokes his head into the room. His Fedora is a little misplaced on his head, and his hair is a complete mess underneath. His eyebrows are scrunched together with worry, like he’s doing something he’s not supposed to.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

[His mind flashes back to the first time they met. his heart melting as he realizes that's what he said to it back when they first met. A smile forms on his face and his thoughts melt away. (He flinches rather hard when it coughs, but recovers quickly.)]

"Hiiii....."

[His eyes fall shut for a moment or two, soaking in the moment, before he suddenly perks up. His new trick! Ohhh, the creature is going to LOVE this.]

"Oh! Oh! Look! Look!"

[He backs up slightly, taking his sword from behind his back and placing it in the space between them, pointing perpendicular to the both of them. Then, just because he can, he sits criss-cross and holds his arms out in front of him.]

[Guide pokes his head into the room. His Fedora is a little misplaced on his head, and his hair is a complete mess underneath. His eyebrows are scrunched together with worry, like he’s doing something he’s not supposed to.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

“Creature!! Hi!!”

[He run over to it, aiming to give it a hug. He reconsiders once he reaches it, remembering the bandages that cover it’s midsection, so he settles for lightly bonking his forehead against its own. His posture visibly deflates as he does so, hunched shoulders relaxing and a sigh escaping him.]

“...‘s good to see you. You doing alright…?”

[Guide pokes his head into the room. His Fedora is a little misplaced on his head, and his hair is a complete mess underneath. His eyebrows are scrunched together with worry, like he’s doing something he’s not supposed to.]

"Guide. Guide."

[th3gu1de]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"WHAT THE-?!"

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

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