Music for Life, Despair & Monsters, Jade Smith's journey in To Shadow After An Ember Heart from An Old Ballad of Chance and Ember Hearts Trilogy and lastly A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore. Also a snippet of an encounter between Faith and Saint Matilda in my Harbinger AU, from Saint Matilda's POV no less. I'd be lying if I told you she wasn't freaky. Listen and read below the cut:

First song is for Lora from my unnamed Arcane: League of Legends WIP trilogy in my Life, Despair & Monsters series. Lora is one of Singed's shimmer experiments, and one full of contradictions; a sleek and yet buff robot that retains feminine and yet masculine frames and body, an incredibly stealthy and yet ferociously destructive force, detachable weapons with exception to the hair/tail blades that act as anchors for her to hang from or even extend her height with, she's both an amnesiac to her past life and yet has moments of clarity in herself, and lastly is a nurturing, grounded figure that switches to a chaotic maniac who lusts for the blood of her foes. I'm trying to make Lora a kind of embodiment of the contrarian (much to Silco and Sevika's headaches). One thing that remains consistent with Lora though is her dedication to Jinx's wellbeing; that nurturing aspect of her is often only reserved for Jinx and, oddly enough when Lora's not hunting Caitlyn, Vi (and occasionally Silco and Warwick):

youtube

"There's a wolf that preys on a world that strays So far from the garden And just like your own, every heart you know Seems cold and hardened

You may not have the stage But you still have a voice You may not have the strength But if you have the choice

I dare you to love Oh, I dare you to love Even if you're hurt and you can only see the worst Even if you think it's not enough Oh, I dare you to love

We're all full of hope, trying to stay afloat Trying to save one another People let you drown 'cause they don't know how To stay above water

When they're too broken To know what they've put you through Do the only thing that you'd want done to you

Oh, I dare you to love (Dare you to love!) Oh, I dare you to love (I dare you to love!) Even if you're hurt and you can only see the worst Even if you think it's not enough Oh, I dare you to love I dare you to love, oh

You may not have the stage But you still have a voice You may not have the strength But if you have a choice

I dare you to love Even if you can't, no, I dare you to love, oh Even if you're hurt and you can only see the worst Even if you think it's not enough Oh, I, I dare you

I dare you Oh, I, I dare you to love!"

Next is for my Sole Survivor OC, Nate Gust Sarid from my Fallout 4 WIP called A Symbol For A Better World in my Fallout series A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore. Nate has an arc where he requires to overcome the old world dogma he was fed while as a soldier, and something he internalized in order to fit in with his neighbors to not be seen as a "communist spy", something that he relapses into when the Brotherhood of Steel make their way to the Commonwealth, especially after meeting Arthur Maxson. Thankfully, his allies and friends, specifically Ress and Preston, eventually manage to help him come to an epiphany of how much a jerk he had been, and focuses on what matters: the settlements that trust the Minutemen and rescuing his son.

youtube

"I saw the sun begin to dim And felt that winter wind blow cold A man learns who is there for him When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold 'Cause from that rubble, what remains Can only be what's true If all was lost, there's more I gained 'Cause it led me back to you

From now on These eyes will not be blinded by the lights From now on What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight, tonight Let this promise in me start Like an anthem in my heart From now on From now on

I drank champagne with kings and queens The politicians praised my name But those were someone else's dreams The pitfalls of the man I became For years and years, I chased their cheers A crazy speed of always needing more But when I stop and see you here I remember who all this was for

And from now on These eyes will not be blinded by the lights From now on What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight, it starts tonight And let this promise in me start Like an anthem in my heart From now on From now on From now on!"

And lastly a song that entirely encapsulates Jade Smith's love for Jasmine Rafiq throughout An Old Ballad of Chance and Ember Hearts trilogy, but specifically in To Shadow After An Ember Heart, where Jade searches the Afterlife for Jasmine, fighting off and evading any obstacle that tries to stop her from getting to her beloved, and walk with her to the Wheel of Reincarnation so both can meet again in the next life together. And on the way kill a powerful reality bender capable of decaying reality itself (aka Discord, the Mad Kin of Carnage).

Although I might add this song can be taken as a darkly humorous way to view my DOOM: Eternal WIP called DOOMed: Forth 'Til Eternity from The Perfect Storm saga of The UnTitledverse:

youtube

"I would go through hell for you 'Til seven circles fell And heaven's citadels have melted through I would go through hell for you I would go through hell for you Down where the devil dwells My fervor's revenant and felt anew I would go through hell for you!"

And here is a WIP snippet for my Far Cry 5 Harbinger AU WIP in The Silver Chronicles. Faith and her faithful assault the jailhouse and manage to break through... only to discover a former member of theirs in a cell. CW: Saint Matilda's POV. Descriptions of Bloody and Violent imagery.

The rumbles that quaked her very cell reckoned the coming of the parishioners she once called her fellows. The advocates that preached the deception of a false deity.

Matilda held no more love for them than she did for the ingrates and wretches holed up in this prison of rotted cowardice. She could free them from such putrid skin, but she was too far from her instruments and laboratory to aid so many rotten undesirables.

It did not matter to her as of now though. Her blessed Harbinger would rid of them all of their cruel imprisonment soon enough. She'll just collect all she could from what remained afterwards.

Her focus, she evaluated, was towards the fog on her mind. To remember from whence she came from.

From Wednesday, to Thursday. Thursday, to Friday. Friday, to Saturday. Saturday...

Matilda struck another blockage in her thoughts. A struggle to realign all her mental faculties towards her origins. To remember whom wrapped her untainted innards in such wicked flesh.

Shaking her head, she pushed. She pushed to continue the recitation of the old adage.

Saturday... to Saturday. Saturday, to Friday. From Friday, to Saturday... no... that's not it...

Matilda's hands clung to the hems of her tattered and dirtied dress. She let that go, finding no satisfaction in action. She instead brought her hands to her face; one hand clawing against the porcelain mask, the other scratching at the infested pores of her exposed flesh.

Were she more like her monsters, she needn't worry for the body of biomass that claimed to be her temple.

Were she able to remember her origins, then she could shed her confined flesh and transcend her nauseating weakness.

I'd been close, she reminded herself, readjusting one hand from the mask that hid her truest self to grip at a twirl of her strawberry blonde hair, pulling at it, I'd been so close. But the treacherous heretics set back my efforts.

Her nails dug deeper into her cheek, the familiar sting welcomed, imagining the marks going redder. All she had to do was rip the skin away, and her blood would ooze free. Her bones could finally breathe. Her innards could blossom into flowers. She could be pure again, if only she could tear, tear, tear, tear-

Matilda halted as she heard gunfire from inside, the cheerful cries of the unenlightened sheep preying on the poor, feeble wolves.

Soon after, she heard the approaching telltale of footsteps, boots and bare feet marching along the uncomfortable metal grates and cold stone slabs.

It wasn't long till a former familiar paused at her cell, accompanied by zealots and the angelical husks that she'd failed to improve for the Family.

"Oh my," the Faith breathed out in surprise, its features still pretty and ethereal, the light brown halo of hair still pertaining the faux divinity even outside the serene mist, "So the rumors are true."

Matilda's made no move to respond. Her sole amber eye pierced past the audacious and performative smile that the Faith displayed across its lips, noticing the fumed heat in the rings of green. Pale dress belonging to previous incarnations, prior bodies whose short-lived flesh could not sustain the blight the False Father imparted into the shrine of their cathedral. Walls collapsed under the weight of resisting the carnal temptations of humanity, becoming sullied and tarnished.

Matilda could not understand the Father's pursuit for such a frivolous role back then, and was far more incensed now that she'd returned to the lands of her former parish. How could he not understand that no human were untouched by vice? How could he bear to withhold the vessels of his Faith of their carnal desires?

They could have all been beautiful once, had he given her the chance to help: blossomed and stripped of their poisoning impurity, monstrous blight of the pale rider ever present, ever immortal.

Yet the Faiths were nothing more than a glorified emissary for the Father's false deity. A living memento, a pervasive blight that spread the insidious deceptions of the whorish Madonna, and antithetical to the Family's values.

Its presence grated her. No better than the black rider, she had long reckoned. Neither represented the horsemen purposes accurately; the Faith was no bringer of death, only a perverted preserver of life, and the Father's younger brother had not scourged the locusts' crops, homes and lands with a sickly pestilence.

The former's precious insides needed to be hollowed out, cut apart and reshaped before returning to its void canvas, to even be a perfect candidate for the role, bones picked clean of the red meat. The latter's insides, meanwhile, had to be putrid, left out in the sun to permeate the air its rot and disease.

Only then could she perfect them into the riders who will wrought Death and Famine.

She had long since accepted that the Family that once housed her when she had nothing and nowhere to go were full of sanctimonious heretics... subduing their own monstrous attributes for the sake of stagnating humankind under a holy burden.

"I'm surprised, Matilda," the Faith spoke, tongue in cheek, surreptitious in her honesty, "I'd never expect you to return from exile, not after being excommunicated for tampering with the Bliss."

Matilda did not fall for the bait. For the accusation still held no weight, as the truth was far more simpler; she'd merely been testing the Bliss, pushing its limits.

The Angels had been a step in the right direction, and so had the Judges she found, but the former still required a step further towards transcending from their mortal flesh, and the latter's hide presented a perfect opportunity. Hence, why she tried, admittedly in inexperienced vain, to combine the two.

Her efforts were swiftly put an end to when the red rider's Chosen incapacitated her before she could note down any noteworthy results.

The Faith seemed to ponder in serious thought, though Matilda knew better, as it asked with faux hope, "Have you returned to atone?"

Matilda narrowed her amber eye at the Faith. No longer bound to its insidious deceptions, the Saint could see more clearly the blight it was. The Father's cancerous mouthpiece, spreading his message of an Eden. Another prison for their false deity to repress their dire desires.

Saint Matilda would first break free the jaws of her rib cage to spill her untainted innards before she'd lock away the monster inside her again.

And lastly an OC action game for four The UnTitledverse OCs, both protagonists and antagonists.

Music Monday, WIP Wednesday, Ten Opening Lines, OC Picrew, "Imagine that tonight you can listen to only seven songs. What songs would you choose?" & Last 5 songs

Music for A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore, The UnTitledverse and The Silver Chronicles. WIP Wednesday for Life, Despair & Monsters with Ten Opening Lines for my most recently published works. As well as this OC Picrew for The Silver Chronicles women and the seven songs I would choose to listen to if I had only tonight left... no matter how vaguely eerie that sounds. Plus my last 5 songs I've listened too. You can listen and read below the cut:

This cover of Avicii's "Hey Brother" always brings me back to Ore and Ress from A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore. I've gotten quite invested in their relationship as of recently, especially with how I present them especially. Both are children of Arcane Urias, who only had them conceived for the sole purpose of using them as heavy-lifting pawns to do his dirty work in the Occult while seeking to revive Discord. However, both Ore and Ress were conceived from a human mother, who's very human element counteracts Urias' Displacement nature, allowing them free will from their father. Both retain some phenomenal power from their other-dimensional nature. However, both Ore and Ress contrast each other too. I define Ore by dusty browns and deep reds, and associate him to earth-like colors, with an ability to manipulate fire and similar elements, as well as wearing tactical-like gear (specifically Desert Ranger gear), while I define Ress by light blues and whites, though often wearing black clothing that is casual, and associating her with the ocean or a river, with her ability to manipulate energy and light. However, they also subvert these details personality-wise; Ore is the eldest of the two, level-headed and alert, calm and experienced in the Wasteland, though retains a moral compass that has not faltered in the Wasteland's nature, while Ress is the younger of the two, wild and cocky, reckless and passionate as well as rebellious and curious, adopting the rules of the Wasteland with open arms. Both butt heads; especially when it comes to their ideals, and by the time of Fallout: New Vegas, both acknowledge that the other's methods aren't without its benefits nor faults. However, one thing remains true for brother and sister; both are willing to risk everything to come aid the other.

youtube

"Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover!" "Hey sister! Know the water's sweet but blood is thicker!" "Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do!"

"Hey brother! Do you still believe in one another?" "Hey sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder..." "Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do!"

"What if I'm far from home?" "Oh brother, I will hear you call! What if I lose it all?" "Oh sister, I will help you out!" "Oh, if the sky comes falling down. for you!" "There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do!"

This song is for Malcrum (as well as Max Caulfield) in my Life Is Strange WIP called Life Is Cruel, apart of The Omniscient Rule saga of The UnTitledverse. Max Caulfield's time manipulating abilities are the result of being what I call a "Shiner" (essentially a soul that's been kind of "blessed", or rather, accidentally acquired excess energy from the Omniscience or perhaps even a Paragon), and here "Time" (or rather the Orchestrator) is rather unsatisfied by the fact Arcadia Bay hasn't been destroyed, so plans another disaster that Max works with Malcrum Darling (whose trying to undo his own disaster that threatens the Omniscient Rule). In the end, Max uses her power to send Malcrum back to undo his disaster, which also undoes Max's previous two disasters (including the first hurricane), due to his event chronologically coming first in the timeline. Which results in Max's timeline changing to a point where it's unclear whether she still retains the memories of the original future, though Malcrum doesn't test it out as he leaves his new friend to live her life without having to ever be bothered by the multiverse's bullshit ever again. This is also what convinces him the multiverse shtick isn't for him, leading to him leaving the Omniscient Rule and then accidentally becoming a foster father/brother to a squad of young Shiners running from C.Y.P.R.U.S in Our Family Shelter.

youtube

"Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don't let it make you cry For even if I'm far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret to you Each night we are apart Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I'm with you The only way that I can be Until you're in my arms again Remember me!"

And lastly a song that's essentially for Silva and Kamski. In spite of their differences (especially the moral differences), both stick close together after La Última En Pie well into Silva's Hope, not only because of their familiarity with one another and being the (as far as they know) remaining survivors of the Tumultite Massacre, but also due to the shared grief of losing a child: Irene for Kamski (who was also Silva's lover and Persephone's mother, lost during the Tumultite Massacre) and Persephone for Silva (who was murdered by Paul). Both wished to have done something differently, to have had more time for their respective daughters. To hold their girls once more. But now they only really have each other, something Kamski has taken very seriously, often viewing Silva as a pseudo-daughter of sorts, or maybe the closest remembrance he has to Irene. Maybe that's why Silva trying to move on scares him.

youtube

"I've been waiting for you To come around and tell me the truth 'Bout everything that you're going through My girl, you've got nothing to lose

Cold nights and the Sunday mornings On your way and out of the grey

I've got time, I've got love Got confidence you'll rise above Give me a minute to hold my girl Give me a minute to hold my girl Crowded town, silent bed Pick a place to rest your head Give me a minute to hold my girl Give me a minute to hold my girl

I've been dreaming 'bout us Working hard and saving it up We'll go and see the man on the moon My girl, we've got nothing to lose

Cold nights and the Sunday mornings On your way and out of the grey

My girl, my girl It takes one hot second to turn it around It takes one hot second to turn it around

I've got time, I've got love Got confidence you'll rise above Give me a minute to hold my girl Give me a minute to hold my girl Crowded town, silent bed Pick a place to rest your head and Give me a minute to hold my girl Give me a minute to hold my girl I've got time, I've got love Got confidence you'll rise above Give me a minute to hold my girl Give me a minute to hold my girl Crowded town, silent bed Pick a place to rest your head and Give me a minute to hold my girl Give me a minute to hold my girl!"

WIP Wednesday for my DDLC WIP called You Make My Heart Go Doki Doki Literature Club! where we get a snippet I've shared before but from Sayori's perspective this time around. And oh boy... she certainly comes across a misunderstanding. Enjoy:

Sayori skipped ahead as Natsuki and Yuri bickered with the each other - their back and forth filling the hall.

Sayori had quite the elated spirit this evening. Although the day had been a drag, the prospect of sharing her poems in the club - poems she made the night before, for once - sent a giddiness all over her body. Especially since she'd be partnering up with Monika.

Sayori found herself excited by that; even though Monika seemed to have had an off week back since her sick days off a couple weeks ago, as well as her odd behavior around her club members since then, everything seemed to have slowly returned to normalcy. Maybe an even better normalcy, given how close she felt with Monika now.

It almost seemed like the rain clouds wouldn't bother her today.

As she got closer to the club's designated classroom, Sayori could pick up on harsh, muffled words coming from behind the door.

Though the newly installed doors limited noise, she could still recognize Monika's voice even while outside the club room.

The commotion seemed to increase, since Sayori recognized the sound of movement and the bump of a desk. Like a sort of scuffle, maybe-

An immediate thought that her club president was engaged in a fight popped at the forefront of Sayori's mind.

The thought spurred a sort of panic into Sayori's steps, as she immediately clutched hold of the door's handle, the soft click audible from both sides.

Sayori swiftly slid open the Literature Club's door, unsure of what little help she'd be, but ready to do something to fend off Monika's assailant-

She paused when two pairs of startled emerald green eyes snapped towards her, freezing Sayori where she stood, like a blue-eyed deer on the road.

Glancing to the most familiar person in the room, her eyes locked on to Monika.

Oddly, her club president's appearance seemed off; her skin seemed flushed, like from embarrassment, she was breathing like she attended a marathon run and her usually perfect coral brown hair was frazzled. Her white bow looked like it had been roughly tugged on, which kind of explained the loose ponytail. Her uniform was as unkempt and disheveled as Sayori's own, though Monika's state seemed recent compared to hers.

Monika was really close to someone, like face to face if she wasn't staring at Sayori. She was holding onto them in close proximity as well, her hands balled into fists grasping onto the opened blazer flaps of a student. The new student, Sayori recognized, though she hadn't quite caught their name during their introduction a few days ago. Regardless, Sayori noted them to be as disheveled as Monika. And just as pretty.

No, really, like they were just as pretty as Monika was. Nearly identical. The androgyny was really the only difference Sayori could tell between the two, plus the shorter hair that was a tint darker than Monika's lighter coral brown, which made the green dyed tip on the new student all the more obvious...

What was she doing again?

The state of the two's appearances registered in Sayori's brain once more, reminding her of what she walked in on. The relief that Monika appeared alright soon shifted to confusion, piling more questions. However, with the details she's taken note of thus far, one ugly conclusion reared it's ugly head. One that, strangely, felt like her insides were being pinched.

Only reinforced when Monika let go of the new student's blazer, letting them drop to the floor as she turned to her club's vice-president and uttered out the exclaimation, "This isn't what it looks like!"

Last Line for one of The UnTitled Stories from The Omniscient Rule saga, one that ironically is nicknamed Hitman: Evangeline, which is a Hitman: Absolution WIP. So like... Diana Burnwood's having... a day (between several weeks to a few months of headaches). Here's a part of the "prologue" from the titular Evangeline's POV to really hammer it in:

Right about now, you must be wondering how I, a runaway $100,000 entertainment investment turned amateur mercenary, got into this situation with this angry red-head milf and the screaming brat in the back she stole from some black opps official.

Said situation, might I add, being a vehicular chase between my Mario Kart experience and the unfathomable determination of the old bastard who practically invented the standards of the modern hitmen of today.

Let's digress from here, and backpedal to less than a week earlier...

Here's a couple OC Picrews for my girlies from The Silver Chronicles because we can never have enough imagery of what these terrifying ladies look like:

Deputy Silva Omar (Silva's Hope [FC5]) | Mercy Omar-Seed (Old Dusk [FCND]) | Elsa Omar (Harbinger AU [FC5])

Presenting three of the Omar girls in all their glory (not presented is Persephone and Azriel... plus another) because Adam's misogynistic ass got hilariously cursed (figuratively or literally, works either way) to only have daughters and granddaughters. Because FUCK that guy.

Anyway, we got Silva, her third daughter Mercy, and lastly Silva's younger half-sister Elsa (at least in the Harbinger AU).

New lore drop: a young Mercy lost her left leg to a mutated bear between exiting the bunker (after five years) and before the events of Old Dusk (which take place a year later than FCND), so now she has a prosthetic. Perhaps a point of connection for when she eventually meets Paul...

[A/n] I had come to notice I've been calling Mercy as Silva's second daughter, which is actually incorrect, since Azriel is Silva's second daughter via adoption, while Mercy came after, therefore making her Silva's third daughter. Realizing that left a rather bad taste in my mouth, since I thought that by (incorrectly) claiming Mercy to be Silva's second daughter (due to being her second birth child) it invalidated Azriel's character & story (and by extension, her representation as an adopted child), which was never my intention. So from here on out, I'm gonna start ensuring I keep to that correct information to any post that includes it. I'm still deciding whether I should re-edit prior posts with the misinformation or leave those be. With that out of the way... back to the picrews.

Huntress Caroline Jäger (Hematophobia: Fear The Paleblood [Bloodborne]) | Feeble Natavan (Hematophobia: Fear The Paleblood [Bloodborne]) | Master Hunter Mahira (Hematophobia: Fear The Paleblood [Bloodborne])

From left to right we have: local Paleblood-afflicted noble having an average day in Yharnam, a little sweet bean who deserves the world regretting ever setting foot in college, and the absolute worse person getting the unambiguously best ending out of everyone in this downer of a WIP.

Chiwa (Weave The Threads of Blood [Elden Ring] | Nylah, Hero of Lyndell (Weave The Threads of Blood [Elden Ring]) | Unheeded Prophet, Kassandra (By The Gold of Grace [Elden Ring])

Finally three of my Elden Ring girls. Chiwa, whose trying to relax under the Erdtree's light with a slumbering wolf companion though sees obligation approach. Hopefully such strangers will be kind enough to speak in low tones...

Don't worry, Nylah's fine guys. Just recovering from a fight with Maliketh the Black Blade, no big deal. At least a certain Lunar Princess is keeping her well hidden and well cared for.

What's Kassandra doing in Caelid, I wonder? Probably nothing of importance. Not like the region's going to get nuked by Malenia or anything.

Here's a list of opening lines for ten of my most recently published fics. Note that the YOTP fics are all FC5. Not sure how much you'll get from them but here goes nothing. Also at least three of these include smut:

10. Misconstrued [Silva/Faith ft. John/Nadi & Alexander/Jacob]: Literally posted this two days ago. YOTP June Prompt oneshot where the Seeds (with exception to Joseph) attend Pride Month before the Reaping. Set in my Daylight AU of FC5. Not intended to be taken too seriously:

A warm breeze had swept over the Whitetail Mountains, reaching the open doors and windows of the St. Francis Veteran Centre, a morning prelude to a hot day ahead.

9. Enlightenment [Silva/Faith]: YOTP May Prompt oneshot where Faith stalks Silva via the eldritch Bliss realm that she just has in her basement:

Faith glided past the obscure yet recognizable shapes of the sinners with ease, their bodies made of the shifting green mist that belonged to the Bliss.

8. Lost In Your Arms [Silva/Faith]: YOTP April Prompt oneshot where Kamski fucking dies and Faith races to find Silva before her brothers do. Hurt/Comfort fic with a trigger warning:

When the news from the Whitetail Mountains made its way to her Gate in the Henbane, Faith had been tending to the Marshal.

7. If Things Had Gone Differently... [Silva/Faith]: YOTP March Prompt oneshot that includes Silva reflecting in her flower shop back to the Reaping in Hope County, specifically the arrest she made on a certain herald of the Henbane region. A No Collapse and Post FC5 AU:

It was rather bittersweet; surprisingly so, considering who she was bringing to the cruiser.

6. You're Mine [Silva/Faith]: YOTP February Prompt oneshot, a very happy Valentines Day between Silva and Faith. Completely normal:

In the unconscious chasm of sleep, Silva stirred upon feeling the familiar sensation of heat washing over her skin.

5. Our Love [Silva/Faith]: YOTP January Prompt oneshot. What does one do when snowed in with one of the head cultists? The Resistance would certainly be against making hot chocolate with the enemy, but Silva's got a bigger concern... thinking about kissing a pretty lady:

The snowstorm hadn’t let up. The flurry of white flakes relentlessly rained down on the roof of the lodge by the roaring winds, covering it in a deep powder.

4. Her Companion [Caroline/Ebrietas]: Some Thanksgiving challenge to write the dirtiest 100 Word Drabble (mine is clearly not at 100 words). So I went with Bloodborne, where the newest hunter Yharnam's suckered into the Hunt making friends with discount Cthulhu's daughther. CW: BRIEF SMUT BELOW!:

Caroline could not recall how she ended up in this position; suspended in the air by large, slick tentacles that gripped her limbs gently, back bent as slimy tubes suckled greedily on the flesh of her breasts, with three wiggling, smaller tentacles filling her throat, anus and cunt.

3. This Sweet Leisure [Silva/Faith]: 2024 Kinktober oneshot with Silva and Faith, set in the bunker years post-Collapse but pre-FCND. Silva and Faith are horny, and Faith makes Silva's breeding kink go BRRR. Naturally, you've probably guessed there is Smut is in this fic:

Quiet moments had never been something Silva thought she could afford to enjoy.

2. The Tails That Bind [Sonya/Jennifer]: Another 2024 Kinktober oneshot but between Sonya (aka Sonnie) and Jennifer from Love Death + Robots, where naturally these two freaks use the other to get off while denying any emotional attachment. Very much Smut in this fic:

She heard her before she saw her; the click-clack of heels on marble closing in to their quarters.

Sibling Q & A Between Silva and Elsa Omar ONESHOT [Silva & Elsa ft. Silva/Faith & their daughters]: Both set pre-FC5 and post-Collapse, here we are shared a surviving memory where Silva and Elsa decide to do a little trend (at the younger sister's insistence):

The buzz of the worn-out camcorder complimented the numbing visuals of the frozen static, but swiftly the unused device booted up.

Almost done! So I was tagged with the question: Imagine that tonight you can only listen to seven songs, what would they be? And although this was tough, I think I managed to put together a consistent list of songs below:

"This Comes From Inside" by The Living Tombstone

The Plot Synopses of The UnTitledverse Masterpost

Note: May update over time. TW: A few possible lackluster descriptions.

Consists of four sagas. The Perfect Storm saga has around 46 WIPs, The Omniscient Rule saga has 15 WIPs, The UnTitled Ventures saga has 8 WIPs and finally The Ender saga has 6 WIPs that are six story length "chapters". There are also three associated WIPs that mostly connect with The Perfect Storm saga but one continues with the rest.

Read further below under the cut:

The Perfect Storm saga

Jurassic World: Before The Storm (Jurassic World) - Lisa Cobalt finds herself in a predicament; she is the legal guardian to her foster brother, Joaquin, but cannot financially support him and herself. That is, until an opportunity to fill the role of a paleo-veterinarian at the marvelous Jurassic World presents itself. However, not is all as it seems. When an abnormal dinosaur makes a sudden appearance, it brings with it mistrust among the staff, and a conspiracy that shrouds an inevitable doom. Life gifts lessons and fortune. Those who do not heed these lessons are fools bound to repeat history.

A Blast In The Past - In 1936, you return to your old workplace at Carmine Studios, your old partner wanting to have a reunion. What you did not anticipate was the darkness that welled up from the consequences of your departure. Live or die, trust or betray, kill or be killed, again and again, follow the path laid out for you, and dwell in the regret of crossing me.

FNAF: Ask Goldie Anything (Five Nights At Freddy's) - Goldie and the Fazbear Gang (both the Originals and the Toys) are asked questions by the readers on Wattpad, AO3, Tumblr and fanfiction net (and possibly more), influencing the plot into varying directions. Based on Grawolfquinn's FNAF comic Ask Goldie Anything, but with a twist.

Adapt To Survive (Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous) - Left behind on Isla Nublar, Joaquin Cobalt traverses the years spent on the dinosaur populated island, with the reluctant help of an industrialist by the name of Edward Carmine. Indo recovers from his fight with the Indominus, grieving the loss of his pack.

Jurassic World: Into The Eye Of The Storm (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) - Isla Nublar is on the brink of a volcanic destruction, so when mercenaries make their way to the island to collect the dinosaurs, Joaquin, Edward and Indo take separate paths to get off the burning island. All these paths lead them to the same Manor on the Mainland.

The Tale Of Mario Emmet (FNAF: The Silver Eyes) - Charlie and her friends return to Hurricane, Utah for the memorial of Michael Brooks and the children who went missing at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. When exploring the old pizzeria, they discover the ruined building is being used as a nest... and the creature is not too far away.

The Aftermath Equation (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory) - Evading death once more and tying up loose ends, Edward Carmine traces his obsession to the Dolomite Mountains of Italy, in the Biosyn Sanctuary run by Lewis Dodgson. He offers his services and funding. Meanwhile, Maisie learns more about the Joaquin who saved her.

The Adventures of Debra Holmes And Her Amazing Space Friend Mario Emmet - Set before The Tale Of Mario Emmet, in 1988, a Texan girl by the name of Debra Holmes makes the discovery of an alien shapeshifter who she refers to as "Mario Emmet" taking residence on her homestead. The beginning of a wholesome and tragic friendship, both human and alien have the time of their lives while Mario hides away from the U.S Government.

SPECIALS - A novelisation of a roleplay (that I have yet to make), in which the plot is not a priority and is merely a fun and chaotic celebration of several holidays hosted by Calvin Dearing... right?

Music for An Old Ballad of Chance and Ember Hearts, A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore and The UnTitledverse, and this OC Picrew for The Silver Chronicles.

I've probably done this already, but I'm just gonna say it again; when I listen to "The Other Side" (specifically Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron's duet), I can only ever think about Joaquin Cobalt convincing a very much alive Malcrum Darling in the TWDG universe into joining the newly founded Omniscient Rule in the titular The Omniscient Rule (of The Omniscient Rule saga), after being tasked by the firstborn Eldritch, Amari the Apothecary. Joaquin at this stage doesn't know the exact details of the "sins" Malcrum beats himself up over (only getting vague hints from Malcrum and Amari himself) and rather points out to Malcrum that, from what he's learned, the latter had no control over his situation at all, and that the blame for being physically and psychologically forced to hurt those he cared for laid solely on Edward Carmine's shoulders. This is the first time where Joaquin's black and white view of the world actually adapts a little; he doesn't believe Malcrum is in any way guilty for the actions he committed against his will, and believes (well, not really, Joaquin doesn't actually think it applies to Malcrum here, but knowing the other won't let it go...) Malcrum to be way more worthy of redemption than the man behind their and others victimization. This is essentially how it goes down:

youtube

"Right here, right now I put the offer out I don't want to chase you down But I know you see it You run, with me And I can cut you free Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in So trade that typical for something colorful And if it's crazy, live a little crazy You can play it sensible, a king of conventional Or you can risk it all and see

Don't you wanna get away From the same old part you gotta play? 'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride It'll take you to the other side 'Cause you can do like you do Or you can do like me Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly It'll take you to the other side!"

"Okay, my friend You want to cut me in Well, I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen So thanks, but no I think I'm good to go 'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in Now I admire you And that whole show you do You're onto something, really, it's something But I live amongst the swells And we don't pick up peanut shells I'll have to leave that up to you

Don't you know that I'm okay With this uptown part I get to play? 'Cause I got what I need And I don't want to take the ride I don't need to see the other side So go and do like you do I'm good to do like me Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doing fine? I don't need to see the other side!"

"Now is this really how you like to spend your days? Whiskey and misery and parties and plays?"

"If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns!"

"But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little Just let me give you the freedom to dream And it'll wake you up and cure your aching Take your walls and start 'em breaking Now that's a deal that seems worth taking But I guess I'll leave that up to you!"

Next song is for A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore, especially regarding Ortega "Ore" Brantley and Marissa "Ress" Bishop sibling relationship and the companions they keep. Ore is the oldest sibling, and he's been around a lot longer in post-nuclear war America. Where Ore was raised on the moral ethics of his mother, Tiffany Brantley, a Responder who helped revived the Fire Breather division, Ress was raised on the values and expectations of the Bishop Crime Family, under her mother, Leslie Ann Bishop, alongside her nephew (who would become the future Mr Bishop). Its growing up under their respective mothers that shapes which companions they take; Ore usually (with exception to Courier Ryder) trusts morally upstanding individuals who choose to do the right thing (such as Tycho, Marcus and Fawkes), though given his experience in the America's wastelands, he also understands that people don't hold much of a choice in doing whatever they could to survive, given the unspoken rule of "survival of the fittest", so he's lenient or even sympathetic to those who don't necessarily align with his moral compass but are still helpful or even practical to have around (like Katja, RL-3 and Joshua Graham). Meanwhile, Ress picks people who are often rebellious or even troublesome outcasts in some way (Charon, Veronica, Boone and Piper being prime examples), however, she's open to allowing "goody-two-shoes" to join her crew and despite her demeanor, is willing to act as a deterrent for those naive or inexperienced (Star Paladin Cross, Alph & Amata, Gannon, and Preston). Ore and Ress often butt heads due to personal ideals conflicting, however, at the end of the day, the bonds of family and the thirst for patricide is what drives them closer together. Also helps that this revenge quest gives them an excuse to make many friendships with their companions, and especially for Ress by the events of Fallout 4, where she enters a relationship with Piper and becomes a trustworthy and reliable adult figure for Piper's little sister, Nat.

youtube

"We are, we are Not your ordinary fami-mily But we can all agree that we are, we are Close as close can be

So it don't matter what it looks like We look perfect to me We got every kind of love I feel so lucky indeed They can keep on talking It don't matter to me 'Cause we are, we are family We are, are, are, are, are (We are!) We are, are, are, are, are (We are!) We are, are, are, are, are (We are!) We are, we are family, family, family We are, we are family

So what? We don't look, we don't act We don't walk, we don't talk like you do So what if we hang just to hang? Ain't no shame We gon' do what we want to

'Cause we come from everywhere Searching for ones to care Somehow, we found it here We found us a home!"

And last song for the OTP of my original trilogy, An Old Ballad of Chance and Ember Hearts, Jade Smith and Jasmine Rafiq. These two are introduced in the original work Wings And Horns as one of the pairs of soulmates that Archangel Metatron and Cadet Azriel come across, and subsequently protect them from Xiang and Jezebel Ba'al's campaign. However, once the New Gods ultimately decree the Soulmate System as unsustainable and abolish it, causing all ties soulmates had to each other to suddenly disappear, Jade and Jasmine have some of the stronger reactions, especially when seen in their first WIP, as they redefine and rekindle their relationship without a soul mark to define them as such, re-exploring the depths of their relationship again as they become the first human explorers of the Omniscience/Multiverse. And I thought this song to be well suited for both:

youtube

"Tell me what you want, what you like, it's okay I'm a little curious too Tell me if it's wrong, if it's right, I don't care I can keep a secret, can you?

Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite

Don't tell your mother Kiss one another Die for each other We're cool for the summer (Ha!)

Take me down into your paradise Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type Just something that we wanna try 'Cause you and I We're cool for the summer

Tell me if I won, if I did, what's my prize? I just wanna play with you too Even if they judge, fuck it, I'll do the time I just wanna have some fun with you

Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite

Don't tell your mother Kiss one another Die for each other We're cool for the summer (Ha!)

Take me down into your paradise Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type Just something that we wanna try 'Cause you and I (You and I!) We're cool for the summer

We're cool for the summer We're cool for the summer

Shh, don't tell your mother Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite Take me down

Take me down into your paradise (Don't be scared!) Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type Just something that we wanna try (Wanna try!) 'Cause you and I (You and I!) We're cool for the summer (Take me down!)

We're cool for the summer (Don't be scared!) 'Cause I'm your body type Just something we wanna try 'Cause you and I (You and I!) We're cool for the summer

We're cool for the summer!"

And finally, this picrew for characters from The Silver Chronicles, including those from Far Cry (Silva's Hope & Old Dusk), Bloodborne (Hematophobia: Fear The Paleblood) and Elden Ring (Weave The Threads of Blood & By The Gold of Grace). Enjoy!:

Deputy Silva Omar (Silva's Hope [FC5]) | Captain Ezekiel (Old Dusk [FCND])

Silva and Ezekiel celebrating pride month at different points in Hope County. One is more enthused than the other.

Couldn’t find a golden locket for Silva :(

Huntress Caroline Jäger | Hunter Tobias Jäger (Hematophobia: Fear the Paleblood [Bloodborne])

If Caroline and Tobias could rate Yharnam from a scale of “Pleasant visit” to “Not worth the trip” they’d give it a solid “Shit’s fucked!”

Very disappointed that Tobias can't have his Abraham Lincoln beard.

Chiwa | Selke the All-Seeing Mage (Weave The Threads of Blood [Elden Ring])

On the left, you can see Chiwa’s reaction upon being told (by Varré) that she’s got to fight like 9 and a half shardbearers for a queen she’s never worked for, and on the right is her future consort Selke gatekeeping the future cause she’s whimsy like that.

Forgot to make Chiwa's freckles more obvious.

Logan the Vagabond of No Renown | Nylah, Hero of Lyndell (By The Gold of Grace [Elden Ring])

Logan has chosen to become a prime example of how NOT to handle Frenzy Flame (at least according to Shabriri. And Nylah is definitely (not) paying attention to Ranni’s very secret plans.

Can't decide which scar for Nylah is better looking, and which one could accurately show being struck by Death Lightning.

Music Monday, Six Sentence, Last Line(s) & Detailed OC Template

Tagged by @noodlecupcakes and @inafieldofdaisies

Music for Life, Despair & Monsters, Edward Carmine from that novelization of a roleplay I was in once and The UnTitledverse, six sentences for A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore and Last Line for The Silver Chronicles, with a Detailed OC Template(?) by @keylo-taloon for my newest OC: Raphael.

Edward Carmine won't just appear in the first saga (The Perfect Storm) of The UnTitledverse as the main antagonist, but I've set him up as a major antagonist for a novelization of a roleplay I was once apart of. Edward, despite his claims of being better than everybody, is narrow minded. So much so that if he perceives an insult against him, his superiority-inferiority complex runs in overdrive and he must prove that insult wrong. Unfortunately he views himself as the best of humanity, so finding creatures way more intelligence and stronger than him really pushes him to extreme lengths to ruin their peace and quiet. At the end of it, he ends up building a whole trap to lure everyone who has ever "wronged him" so he can incinerate them, and when that doesn't work, he tries to kill them himself, only to end up where he ends up in The UnTitledverse, where he begins his vile legacy that ruins so many lives and almost destroys the multiverse because of his arrogance.

youtube

"Break it down today Tear the pieces up and burn the shreds Lay to rest the circus of the dead, the end It was a mistake in time But there's no turning back the clock And now it's me who has to be the one to stop it

How long must they roam? With instincts they don't understand Old lives they dance to forget Lost souls away from home Destroy the nightmare by design Welcome back this time

To break the cycle Come follow me I'll cut the strings, 'cause you are not a puppet Break the cycke You can be free Your time is through Break break break break Break break break break the cyle

Toil and toil and toil build the maze Where daddy's little monsters await Chasing voices not seeing the flames That grow to free their souls from their chains Break the cycle!"

Next up I wanna talk a little about the last WIP to The Perfect Storm saga from The UnTitledverse, called Supremacy, where the protagonists (namely Joaquin, Mario and Calvin) get together their allies to take on the Unknown Evil's forces, only for its defeat to seem too easy, leading to Edward Carmine taking the spotlight, alongside Jester, and stealing the Unknown Evil's power for himself to become some combination of an human consciousness/artificial intelligence god-like being unable to be destroyed due to the phylactery he has keeping his soul and power anchored to the material realm. It's here that Joaquin, Mario and Calvin truly come closer to their arcs in this saga and commit to destroying Edward and his reign and cycles of terror once and for all, even if it costs them their lives.

youtube

"There's a moment in your bones when When the fire takes over Blood is running, heart is pumping As the battle gets closer

Ooh, they can say what they want now Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming out

We can be heroes everywhere we go We can have all that we ever want Swinging like Ali, knocking out bodies Standing on top like a champion Keep your silver, give me that gold You'll remember when I say We can be heroes everywhere we go Keeping us down is impossible 'cause we're unstoppable

Oh whoa, we're unstoppable Oh whoa, we're unstoppable

Every spotlight, every sound byte Everybody who gave up Is just the fuel for wanting it more Than anybody against us

Ooh, they can say what they want now Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming our

Oh whoa, we're unstoppable Oh whoa, we're unstoppable

Ooh, they can say what they want now Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming out

Oh whoa, we're unstoppable Oh whoa, we're unstoppable Oh whoa, we're unstoppable Oh whoa, we're unstoppable Oh whoa, we're unstoppable We're unstoppable!"

And lastly a song for Life, Despair & Monsters. When I think of "See You Again" in the context of Life, Despair & Monsters, I think of the finale of the series. When the dust settles and the worlds are saved from total collapse, who are to remember the sacrifice made for multiverse that's none the wiser? Who are to grieve the saviors who do not return home? How do the few families and friends go through the loss? How do the survivors grapple with their new stead in life? Do Jennifer and Sonya huddle close at night, both wondering whether or not the others made it out? Loss is not a stranger in any of my series (just look to Silva, Huntress Caroline, Logan and any of the other protagonists from The Silver Chronicles), but here it's... ambiguous. After all, there are no bodies found nor retrieved in the wreckage of that cage the heroes of this series kept the remains of the Ruin of the Midnight Rise inside. Then again, bodies were never a guaranteed privilege for these few, especially on a vengeance mission like this. Maybe the next time Monika answers her apartment door, Haoyu will be standing there, slaying in an outfit in the way only they can. Or perhaps the one time Marinette does glance to the doorway of her next class, Icarus or perhaps even Hatsukami or Tulip will be there, ready to attend as if they didn't just come back from saving the world. Or maybe she and Chaton will find Hatter perched atop the Eiffel Tower, where the breeze was just right. Though it's just as likely that Monika will only answer an empty door, the doorway to Marinette's next class still without one of her best friends, Hatter's vacant perch occupied by nestling pigeons, and Camelot without its Lancelot, nor the enigmatic Orion that served the kingdom dutifully, despite his strange origins, with Queen Guenevere ensuring a remembrance for both knights was built.

youtube

"Damn, who knew? All the planes we flew, good things we been through That I'd be standing right here talking to you 'Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the toad and laugh But something told me that it wouldn't last Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture Those were the days, hard work forever pays Now I see you in a better place

Uh, how can we not talk about family when family's all that we got? Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side And now you gon' be with me for the last ride!"

"It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again ("I'll see you again!") We've come a long way from where we began ("Yeah, we came a long way!") Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again ("You know we started, let me tell you!") When I see you again

Oh, oh Woo!"

"First you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strong And what;s small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond And that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lost ("'Cause the love will never get lost!") And when brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossed Established it on out own, when that line had to be drawn And that line is what we reach, so remember me when I'm gone ("Remember me when I'm gone!")

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got? Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side And now you gon' be with me for the last ride!"

"So let the light guide your way, yeah Hold every memory as you go And every road you take will always lead you home, home!"

Here's a six sentence scene for my Fallout: New Vegas WIP, which will be renamed as I've come to feel The House On Top to be unsatisfying. Anyway, Ress and Boone everyone!:

Ress flicked off the brain matter that splattered onto her cheek, taking her shades out from her breast pocket and placing them back on.

She looked up to the mouth of the ugly green dinosaur, able to make out the figure in there even with the shades dampening her unique perception.

Taking the red beret off of her head, she gave Boone a thumbs up, grinning gleefully.

She recognized what was likely a gesture from his head to "come up and see me and give me my damn beret back you weird bitch". At least, that's what Ress interpreted it as.

Looking down to the headless corpse of Jeannie, Ress couldn't help but take a moment to admire the sight. It was certainly impressive work for a sniper. Could be useful, especially out in the Mojave.

That's one less scum roaming the Mojave, Ress thought as she kicked dirt onto the piece of shit's body, And no rent for me to pay for a while longer.

And last line(s) for the Slay The Princess AU but with Silva, Faith and the Voice:

The Herald halted upon hearing the Vicar's cry; hesitant to move forward, despite His urgent words. From the doorway, she narrowed her eyes at the figure ahead of her, absorbing the details.

What is it that you see?

The Herald felt a hitch in her throat; before her was not the Princess, notable by the modest dress she adorned, nor the Deputy and her contemporary wears. No, before her was a woman who was slack against the chair she was seated in, clothes bordering on a regal masculinity and yet worn with tears stitched up from what appeared to be fights prior.

Before the Herald (and the Saint, and the Vicar) was not a prisoner chained inside this bunker, with how nothing obstructed the woman (who can neither be a Princess nor a Deputy) from exiting, and yet she rested in her chair, dead to the world. Like a recent corpse, whose attire only seemed to contradict the beliefs and attitudes of the woman she's met before. That the Saint had told her about.

The Character Design of Hazbin Hotel

The output of the animation studio Spindle Horse has rapidly gone from the personal OC playspace of an enthusiastic animator to a merchandise-funded animation empire, attracting attention and financing from A24 and Amazon, besides doing millions and millions of views on YouTube.

Hazbin Hotel, the animated musical series that was picked up by Amazon Prime and which probably introduced a lot of people to the sensibilities of the studio's output, is in my opinion kind of a 7/10 sort of show, but it has attracted a fanbase that operates on K-pop stan levels of intensity. This is usually a pretty good sign that something interesting is going on artistically, so... let's have a look, I guess?

Music Monday & WIP Wednesday

Tagging @direwombat @josephseedismyfather @inafieldofdaisies @voidika @raresvtm @imogenkol @noodlecupcakes @socially-awkward-skeleton @adelaidedrubman @josephslittledeputy @cassietrn @g0dspeeed @aceghosts @cloudofbutterflies92 @derelictheretic @icecutioner @shallow-gravy @strangefable @statichvm @carlosoliveiraa @wrathfulrook @starsandskies @ladyoriza @la-grosse-patate @thewanderer-000 @omen-speaker @alypink @shellibisshe @skoll-sun-eater @afarcryfrommymain @strafethesesinners @turbo-virgins @florbelles @minilev @justasmolbard @yokobai and @saynogrumpy + anyone else who'd like to join.

Music Monday for A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore, The UnTitledverse and The Silver Chronicles, with WIP snippets for the FC5 Harbinger AU catching up on what Saint Matilda is doing and a snippet for Life, Despair & Monsters WIP Sonya's Push, checking up on our murderous sapphics. Listen down below the cut:

First song for Marissa "Ress" Bishop from my Fallout series A Radioactive Calamity of Love, Bombs & Gore. Ress has had quite the adventures in the span of a few years for her lifespan; Leslie Anne Bishop's youngest daughter in the Bishop Crime family after an affair with Arcane Urias (whom was impersonating the Chosen One, Finidy Mona, at the time), grew up in a Bishop controlled New Reno, she was involved in the Enclave's fall in the Capitol Wasteland, as well as the destruction of the slave industry, swayed the tide of the Second Battle of Hoover Dam to Vega's advantage in the Mojave and was a key ally for the re-establishment of the Minutemen, the reworking of the Railroad, and was involved in the defeat of Maxson's Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, the downfall of the Institute and the disassembling of the Raiders (as well as the Church of the Children of Atom), and avenging her dead friends and family by killing her father, Arcane Urias, in the Commonwealth. Even though Ress now has a few places to return home to (whether it be with her family in New Reno, friends in the Capitol Wasteland, Mojave and Commonwealth, or just Piper (and Nat) in the Commonwealth), Ress is first and foremost a wanderer and explorer, and isn't satisfied to sit around and settle down, especially after she fulfilled her vengeance over Urias. Though that's not to say it's a goodbye to her friends, family and lover, as though she's naturally inclined to go off to see the sights, she'll always come back to where her home truly lies.

Note: Honestly this song goes hand in hand with the other series (The UnTitledverse and The Silver Chronicles in particular), but those are usually in more grim or sinister tones, which this song is often used in, and Ress' is supposed to be more "yeah I'm leaving now, but I'll be back, I promise" hopeful sort of way, you know?

youtube

"We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But I know that we'll meet again some sunny day Keep smiling through Just like you always do 'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say, "Hello" To the folks that I know Tell them that I won't be long They'll be happy to know That as you saw me go I was singing this song

We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But I know we'll meet again some sunny day!"

Next song is for my Subnautica: Below Zero WIP, Subnautica: Deeper Depths, which is a kind of reworking of the base game but with combinations of the demo/pre-final release storyline as well as the things to expect from The UnTitledverse. Essentially the story is that, five years after the events of Subnautica and Planet 4546B now liberated from the Kharaa bacterium, Robin Goodall and Sam Ayou, who are half-sisters, worked for Alterra on Planet 4546B's arctic region (Robin as a fauna and flora researcher/expedition overseer on the planet's surface, with Sam as a supervisor on the Vesper Station, seeking to climb the corporate ladder), however, after an avalanche buries her base and leads Robin to seek shelter while injured, she discovers the Frozen Leviathan (and the preserved Kharaa infecting it), which subsequently gains Alterra's interest when Robin reports back and gets taken back aboard the Vesper. Robin quits after a disagreement with Sam (Robin, knowing the story of Ryley Robinson, thinks the infected Frozen Leviathan should be destroyed, while Sam believes the preserved Kharaa infection has the research potential to create medicinal properties that could help bolster Alterra's market and give them an advantage against competition). Three years later, Robin receives news that Sam has "died" on Planet 4546B, and her body was not able to be recovered. Robin, believing this to be bullshit, dedicates a plan to sneak back onto Planet 4546B, getting familiar with the dangerous terrain once more, almost like she's returned to her element. While ensuring she's not spotted by Alterra's Vesper satellite orbiting the planet, Robin only has two goals in mind: find Sam, and discover what shady business Alterra is up to. None of that included getting the consciousness of what is possibly the last living Precursor Architect stuck in her head... and his name is ALAN (or rather Al-An). This WIP also features the originally scrapped Ice Dragon, the possibly not dead Frozen Leviathan and my own creature, the Dweller, an underwater worm-like creature that appears to be made of some kind of Precursor metal, although Al-An himself claims that him and his kin had no hand in this creatures making. On a more horrifying not, the Dweller resides in the Dead Zone, currently circling the arctic region as its "nest" and has the potential to grow in size and length larger and longer than it already is (and it's pretty massive). Anyway, while this song is dedicated to the first Subnautica, I believe it fits Deeper Depths.

youtube

"It was hard to wave my home goodbye Looks like the waves are my home tonight As a kid, I dreamed of space Now I'm finally awake in the wake of the waves!"

"We make plans, think we know where we're going to go But fate's hand deals more than the cards it shows You could dream about the stars, you could crash and fall apart What's important is what you do with your time below

So you're out of your depth? So you're lost at sea? If you want to learn to swim, then you've got to be You may think that it's enough just to keep your head above But you've got to swim down if you want to breathe

It's a strange new world and you must survive Who says you need a map to thrive? Scan the wreckage for the parts, use the parts to build a path Doesn't matter how you fall if you land the dive

Habitat creating, it can be habit making So shake it up, you've got to do a little cavitating Can't build a shuttle if you're huddled in the rubble Yeah, you've got to make some bubbles, get a lungful 'cause the task is waiting!"

"It was hard to wave my home goodbye Looks like the waves are my home tonight As a kid, I dreamed of space Now I'm finally awake in the wake of the waves Never thought I'd have to find my place alone But now I know there's no waves like home As a kid, I dreamed of space Now I'm finally awake in the wake of the waves!"

"You know, I always thought I lived a pretty wild life And now I'm living here with all this pretty wildlife It's survival of the fishes and it's high tide And on the food chain, now my link is a mile wide

Crafting from my raft is an impractical reality With every asset I amass subtracted from my salary I know this package holiday was packaged with some tragedy But actually, I'm cracking on my back at the fatalities

I never thought I was born an explorer But now I'm one with the fauna and flora I never thought much of seafood before But tonight, we're having steamed clams under the aurora ("You know the universe has a plan for you!")

So just relax and maybe stack upon some lantern fruit I'm a naturalist you couldn't hold a candle to 'Cause underwater, candles really aren't the lamp to use!"

"Everyone has a Leviathan coming But you can't live your life in silent running You know it's gonna get cold outside Break the ice, let the Sun in

As the path gets darker and deeper You might find there are sharks 'stead of peepers You may just wish to huddle with your cuddlefish But everybody has to dance with a reaper!"

"I need to keep my grip somehow I'm in some really deep ship right now I need to keep my grip somehow I'm in some really deep ship right now I need to keep my grip somehow I'm in some really deep ship right now I need to keep my grip somehow I'm in some really deep ship right now!"

Last song is for SIlva's Hope from The Silver Chronicles. Resisting oppression is... certainly not a subtle theme that is conveyed in Silva's Hope (nor its prequel and sequel, La Última En Pie and Old Dusk respectively), and Silva herself is a character who is both the unstoppable force and immovable object when it comes to resistance: unstoppable force because she fights back against her foes, and immovable object as she never doubts resistance is not only the right decision, but the necessary one. Silva has a lot of experience in rebellions... more than she'd probably like to be involved in especially for her desire for a "normal life" that doesn't involve getting into such violent circumstances. And Silva, time and time again, makes the reminder that she's the "face of the Resistance" (in the sense that she's the most experienced fighter and tactician that gets deep into the front lines) and not the leader of the Resistance (as Jerome, Eli and Whitehorse are). This is especially apparent come Silva's Rogue Arc, an arc that occurs after Silva's PTSD renders her unable to fight in missions, and while the Resistance certainly have respect for her and consider her input while she's not in a state to fight, she knows the bad blood with Eden's Gate has left little room for Hope County's residents to desire putting efforts into a peaceful resolution that can end further suffering and death on both sides (not that Silva feels the Resistance are obligated to or even believes they themselves should be the ones to do so, considering Eden's Gate are the aggressors, and have been for a long time, however, in order for the plan she concocted with Faith's help to succeed, it requires the hope that, if Eden's Gate wave the white flag, then the Resistance would be willing to hear them out). She really doesn't like Joseph, though begrudgingly had begun to like John (who's "captive" in her bunker) and she really likes Faith at this point (plus Silva doesn't want to put Eden's Gate non-combatants - regardless if they're indoctrinated innocents or prisoners - further into harms way, like Kamski was willing to do when he nearly succeeds in gassing John's Bunker with toxins, which is a shockingly dark decision for him to make so easily considering in their past, harming innocents/non-combatants on the opposition's side was easily out of the question, though Silva likely doesn't realize that Kamski's experiences in their shared past shaped him very differently from how it shaped her). Without realizing it, in her Rogue Arc, Silva begins to rely on the old rebellion tactics she learned from Paul and the Tumultites who such tactics against the Congregation of Adam's Guard, from disruption to vandalism to destroying supply lines and property to taking certain figureheads either out of commission or hostage, and more, to not only gain the attention of sympathizers but the opposition leaders themselves and force them into a compromise to negotiate for peace. Silva has an understanding that the use of violence, especially in resistances, is not only an inevitability but also a justified necessity, but she seeks opportunities to resolve the conflict peacefully, especially between groups that used to be neighbors and friends.

The only time she doesn't consider peace an option is when it's against Adam Omar's congregation and his guard of enforcers, because she knows her biological father is, predictably, still an overzealous, narcissistic and prejudiced piece of shit who, predictably after literally a decade, willingly remains a spiteful asshole that surrounds himself with the worst inner circle of sycophantic psychopaths she's ever had the displeasure to even know (which is a high achievement, considering she's met her adoptive father's Apostle's of Zachariah, who were made up of slavers and war criminals). While beforehand, she and the Tumultites had to worry about avoiding non-combatants (especially since the Congregation regularly used their own civilians as a guarantee the Tumultites wouldn't do anything), when she does meet him again, Adam and his army of cronies don't have their civilians to hide behind, just prisoners and deserters. Anyway, ending my nonsensical rambling here, enjoy the song:

"I am a nation, I am a million faces Formed together, made for elevation I am a soldier, I won't surrender Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers ("Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?") The voice of the unheard ("Who's gonna break these chains and lies?") Love is the answer!" "I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside!" "("I"), I ("can't"), can't sit here quiet!"

"You can take my heart, you can take my breath When you pry it from my cold, dead chest!"

"This is how we rise up Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train This is how we rise up Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder Magic, static, call me a fanatic It's our world, they can never have it This is how we rise up It's our resistance, you can't resist us

First WIP snippet is revisiting my Far Cry 5 Harbinger AU and catching up with Saint Matilda while she's in the custody of the Cougars in the Henbane, after surrendering to them outside their gates (stained in blood of course), with Tracey and Whitehorse discussing about her. Read below:

"Do you recognize her, Tracey?"

Tracey kept her gaze trained on the eerily calm woman in the upper cell across the other side of the railing where she stood. Her arms were folded across her chest as she leaned on the railing, brown eyes narrowing at the prisoner clad in deeply crimson stained white dress and black apron.

She almost looked like an Angel, with how unfocused the woman appeared, overdosed on Bliss and unaware of the reality around her. But angels didn't have hair, and their foggy eyes never retained such sharpness, not like how the woman's only visible amber eye was.

Tracey wanted to compare the feeling of how Faith could act in the Bliss, but she couldn't. As much as her former friend had changed for the worst, and as uneasy and angry as she made her feel, Faith wasn't covered in blood (even if she washed her hands of it), and she could at least see the herald's whole face.

Every tic, every dart of eyes, every quirk of her lips. Every contemplation that was happening behind those pretty green eyes that flashed in her mind like a pleasant dream that slowly soured into a nightmare.

Faith was a skilled liar, but she couldn't fool Tracey. Not again, at least. And liars had patterns. They had habits, especially when nervous.

But she could see none of that on their first detainee's visible face. Just observing her surroundings, sat on the bed against her cell wall, as she waited in stillness. Something about it screamed wrong.

She just couldn't put her finger on it.

"No," Tracey huffed as she answered, turning her attention to the old sheriff beside her, "Doubt she was around when I was with the Peggies. Or at least anywhere close to where I was stationed. And she's not hard to miss, considering...."

The mask, the eye, the dress and apron, the unnerving feeling that something about her was off, were all echoed in her head, but left unsaid from her lips.

"Is that your certainty that she's aligned with Eden's Gate?" Whitehorse asked next, hoping to get a confirmation.

Tracey, however, shrugged, shaking her head, "Never said that. My answer was merely based on the presumption that she is a Peggie. But honestly, I find it hard to believe she even is, despite only having her word."

Whitehorse exhaled lowly, glancing over to their person of interest with a concern. Tracey followed his gaze; finding that he was staring at the woman's palm, which still slowly bled from the cut she inflicted on herself before surrendering.

The fact she refuted all opportunities for first aid didn't set well with Tracey, especially now that the woman sat idly on her bed staring at the wall, occasionally glancing out her cell, hands clutched tightly together on her lap.

They hadn't taken the mask off her yet, especially since it only covered half her face and her most visible features should have been more than enough to identify her.

She was curious what their prisoner was hiding underneath it, if there was anything to hide in the first place.

"Did she give her name at all?" Tracey asked the Sheriff, frowning when the woman's sole gaze lazily shifted towards her and Whitehorse across the other side.

The dead, unfeeling stare gave her the chills. It felt like she wasn't even considered a person in this woman's eye. It felt worse than how the angels stared at her, honestly.

Nothing alive and without a dosage of Bliss in them should be capable of that.

"She claimed her name to be Matilda when I visited her," Whitehorse answered, though added as he recalled, "Well, "Saint Matilda" is what she called herself. Asked around the prison if anyone knew her by that name in particular, but only got negatives. If she's lying, we may have a Jane Doe on our hands. Though we don't even have the comfort of knowing if she even is lying or telling the truth."

Their captive, Saint Matilda, returned her gaze back to the wall, barely blinking as she waited. White dress still covered in splotches of red.

"Not that it matters as much," Whitehorse admitted, noting the most prominent description about the woman as Tracey had, "Affiliated with the cult or not, she's evidently dangerous. Best she stay in that cell for our safety."

Tracey only nodded in agreement. Though she mused on the woman's name.

Saint Matilda.

Back in the short time she was a Peggie herself, Tracey had only heard the cultists be referred to as "brother" and "sister", including Joseph's siblings, with the cult leader dubbing himself as "the Father" of course. She rarely heard of any other titles, with even the priestesses and chosen only referred to fraternally and sororally. So the mention of this Matilda referring herself with the title of "Saint" waved red flags in her head.

And considering the "Saint" in question hadn't given an explanation of whose blood she was splattered in, Tracey has doubts the title holds much weight in reality, much like the cult's preaching.

Here's Jennifer and Sonya once more from Sonya's Push, where Jennifer informs all of Dicko's business partners and important employees that there's been a change in management, and to ensure all signs of discontent are heavily discouraged with the presence of her newest "partner". Sonya is present but she's only been alluded to in this snippet. Not my most perfect writing but I'll refine it when I have the time. Read below: [CW: Mild derogatory words thrown at Jennifer]

Jennifer stood at the front of the long and wide table, her new golden dress glittering to draw all attention onto her. She was furthest away from the two-sided door, looking across the filled seats full of familiar board members and business partners who were all affiliated with the late Dicko.

They all stared at her with a mix of confusion and curiosity, though she expected that - after all, Dicko usually headed these emergency meetings, not her. Although, Jennifer was not blind to the underlying shameless lust present amongst those younger than their senile cohorts. Said cohorts did nothing to hide their ogling on her form either.

Worse yet, she's previously fucked a few of them before under Dicko's orders - a reward of some sorts, sometimes even blackmail, for those that worked with him. A rather inconvenient disadvantage when making a grab for power before anyone else does once they realize the truth.

Unlike them, she at least had the comfort of her trump card present in the room with them, unbeknownst to the crass and greedy bastards before her.

All she needed to do was cow the majority into submission with the threat of losing profits (and their lives) should they try to take charge themselves rather than hand over Dicko's authority to her, with accessibility to their assets intact.

It should go swimmingly, however Jennifer knew life wasn't fair; it hadn't been fair two nights ago, just like it hasn't been fair in decades.

Jennifer's main point of worry were rather two individuals in the room; Chairman Ross and Maxwell Carmen, the former a long-time business partner of Dicko's, a leading officer of the board in Crawford Pharmaceuticals with ties and much sway over Crawford Klaus himself, and the latter was Dicko's finance director who oversaw and managed much of the mans financial assets, and acted as a representative for the business with other corporations overseas.

Ross sat at the other end of the table, while Carmen sat on the end closest to her. Whereas Ross was bald, face sagging from age and was rather wide and stout, though that aspect of him gave him a size and strength advantage as Jennifer had found out her first time with him, Carmen on the other hand was younger than the chairman, with neatly combed hair, a conventionally charming face even if he was of average build. She's never had to service Carmen, thankfully, the man was usually too busy handling business overseas to stay for long.

While Ross was dressed in the most proper of professionalism with a face that always appeared sour, Carmen was simply dressed to impress with a small, and likely, false smile.

Knowing Ross, he'd call her a whore and dismiss her words altogether... the man was the closest person to a friend to Dicko, and was unlikely to take it even considerably well that she of all people was taking over the man's businesses.

As long as she used her blackmail on him wisely and with sufficient motivation from her newly acquired attack dog, Jennifer was hopeful that she could retain a level of cooperation from the geezer to allow her to funnel the best drugs into their markets. As for Carmen, she hoped that pandering to his notorious greed could work in her favor.

"As long as the green flows into his bank account, Maxwell will remain loyal to the highest bidder there is," she recalled Dicko's words when Carmen started gaining a reputation.

With attention on her, Jennifer glanced to the ceiling before closing her eyes and letting a low exhale out. May as well get formalities out the way.

"Thank you all for attending this emergency meeting under such short notice," Jennifer began, earning her even more confused and concerned gazes from the members present, "I'm sure you have questions-"

Ross scoffed a noise on the far end of his table, grumbling something derisive under his breath as he kept looking back to the doors in the room. Probably waiting for Dicko himself.

"-as for the reason behind it," Jennifer continued, a little tightly from Ross' dismissive display, addressing the other members, "I'm here to answer that and more. As I'm sure you have heard, there was an incident a few nights prior during one of our Beastie tournaments-"

However, she was cut short by Carmen raising his hand as he leaned forward, asking the obvious question only she knew the answer to, "Sorry for the interjection Miss Jennifer, but shouldn't Dicko be heading this meeting instead of you? If I'm not correct, an incident on the scale of a malfunctioning beastie and a significant loss in profits should be addressed by Dicko himself, shouldn't it?"

Jennifer recovered her voice in spite of Carmen's interruption, hoping to ease up to the news, "Yes, Mr. Carmen, usually Dicko would be present to address an incident of this magnitude. That is something I'm getting to in this report."

Carmen tilted his head curiously at her, almost like he was studying her, but thankfully said nothing else, politely conceding and gestured her to continue. And so, Jennifer continued to explain, "During the tournament in question, Dicko and I went to intercept a champion with a 17 win streak-"

She was interrupted once more, this time directly by Ross, "I've heard enough of this irrelevancy. Why isn't Dicko here?"

Patience thinning from hearing the man's grating voice, not helped by the addition the room's focus being turned from her to Ross or each other as they murmured amongst one another, a few outright looking bored.

"That's what I'm getting to-"

However, Ross didn't seem to really care what she had to say, "Oh, sure you are. Just as I'm sure Dicko's too busy to not greet us at his front doors the moment this meeting was called, like he usually does. Just cut the shit and either get to the point or go drag Dicko here yourself, woman."

While the other members of board waited expectantly with Carmen rubbing at his temples at Ross' crass behaviour, Jennifer's nostrils flared with irritation, blue eyes coldly glaring at Ross.

On second though, fuck formalities, Jennifer decided.

"Dicko's dead."

For a moment, no reaction erupted from the members in the room. A few continued to ignore her in favor of talking with one another, Ross still waited expectantly. Only Carmen froze upon hearing those words, his attention on her.

However, once the news registered across the table, the small conversations tapered off into a shocked silence as the members focused back onto her, and Ross' furrowed his brows as he finally processed the information. His face contorted into a sneer as he leaned forward, between outrage and disbelief.

"Dead? Dicko?!" Ross sputtered, staring between the faces of the other business partners and board members. To say Jennifer didn't take a particular joy out of his reaction wouldn't be quite honest of her.

As Ross jumbled his words together in a vain attempt at making a sentence, Carmen interjected once again, "Ross, just remain in your seat. Miss Jennifer, could you elaborate what happened?"

"As I had been trying to explain, Dicko and I had intercepted this champion to convince them to consider throwing the match in exchange of a fair compensation, in order to avoid losing a large sum of profits. Upon meeting this individual, Dicko had identified him as a former business partner of his from years back, by the name of Sir Enigma Malvolio."

Jennifer paused as she let the name slip, watching the men's reactions, hoping for at least familiarity with the name.

However, such reactions fell short; Carmen just waited for her to continue, while Ross and the other members merely scrunched their faces in bafflement at the name.

Seeing no one hear had intel on the - for lack of a proper term - "man", Jennifer proceeded, "Malvolio held no interest in the alternate deal, and proceeded uninterrupted towards the latest match with his beastie in tow. A beastie, referred to as the Apex, that's design was unlike the regular ones. He would win this match, and Dicko had wanted to privately make an example out of him."

Jennifer left out her involvement in the attempted disposal of that freak, as well as her brutal failure against him and his security, not wishing to let these fools know of the danger she had always been capable of.

Additionally, she decided to not let slip that Dicko had reached an agreement with Malvolio which involved being trafficked to only god knows where with that under that disturbing bastard, and the subsequent reason behind the beastie's release.

Instead, she opted for a white lie, "It's assumed this Malvolio had unleashed his beastie in some kind of rampage with a certain sentience that did not require a link, as a means to cover his escape. It massacred many of the staff and the betters still present, with Dicko counted amongst the casualties, before it was eventually stopped."

The shocked silence would have been deafening if Jennifer had not expected this, and was emboldened to take advantage of such response, "Which is why I call this meeting. As to date, Dicko had left no will that would pass down his assets and position to a worthy successor should something have happened to him, and I doubt he ever intended to. Now, on one hand, you can all fight amongst yourselves for whatever claim you can milk out of Dicko's fortune and resources, leaving his operations to either fall to dust or be found out by local authorities during the time wasted over such arguments."

"Or," she said, grabbing many of the board's attention, including Carmen himself, "You hand over such management for me to handle. And we can continue with business as usual. You'll still receive the profit you earned for your contributions, and perhaps more under me. Dicko's death should not detriment our market, and he wouldn't want us to render his legacy to oblivion."

It was reaching, but Jennifer had hoped that the fear of losing the flow of green and being offered a convenient solution that would cost much time and effort would swing them over to her side.

Carmen certainly didn't seem disinterested, and there were a few who considered her offer and those that were somewhat relieved by an easy option.

However, there were still those whose greed wouldn't be satisfied until they had more power, with Ross amongst the most gluttonous of such lust and hunger.

"Out of the question," Ross spat out, baring his less than pristine teeth at Jennifer, causing her to restrain herself from unsheathing the claws underneath her finger tips, "What makes you think that you can just up and take Dicko's seat, hm? I know the man himself would never allow such dishonesty to slide. Especially from his whore of all people."

Jennifer leveled Ross with a cold glare as she countered, "I've been by Dicko's side for almost six years now. I've been there to overlook every and all of his projects thus far. I know information he personally shared with me that he certainly wouldn't share with any of you - including yourself, Ross."

At the older man's offended scowl, Jennifer smirked internally, before continuing, "I may not have a history of experience to prove myself to you, but I do hold sole knowledge over documents and pass codes that will take you years to figure out but would only leave me a few hours to scour through. Amongst everyone in this board, I am the closest person to a successor that Dicko has. We cannot let business run dry. You want to keep your money? That security- the luxury he gifted you? The only way you'll retain that is with me."

That seemed to earn her more consideration and reluctant acceptance from a few of the doubters, though at least Carmen seemed onboard, or relatively fine with the new arrangement. But Ross still held firm.

"I don't think you understand, girl," Ross growled out, "Regardless of what knowledge you supposedly hold, you aren't the one who makes such a decision. I won't stand for this, and I'm sure many of my fellows here would agree that you're not fit for this. I'd rather have someone I trust to keep his word rather than a bipedal lapdog that's only ever stood by and looked pretty when not catering to the needs of her master, including some of us here."

Ross stood up from his seat, settling his hands on the table as he leveled a surly gaze on her, "What stops this board from calling our security to boot you off the premises altogether while we sort through this mess ourselves?"

Instead of feeling threatened, or responding indignantly, Jennifer allowed herself to smirk openly, much to Ross confusion. There's the perfect opportunity for her cue.

"I'm glad you asked, Chairman Ross," Jennifer stated with an insincere politeness, "Shall I show you?"

She gave a nod to the ceiling, the signal they both agreed on, and true to her word, the beastie unveiled her camouflage, the sleek metal and red optic, quills and odd protrusions, along with the uniquely alien design altogether, both familiar and hard to miss.

The Apex's three tail talons shot out along the walls behind Jennifer, who stood unflinching, and onto the middle of the table, alarming all the board partners to the presence of the beastie. Carmen was stiff in his seat, and Ross collapsed in his upon seeing the creature

With such magnificent flexibility, the Apex twisted and turned as she expertly slunk behind Jennifer. The blonde opened her palm out beside her, near the Apex's head. The beastie did not immediately get the cue, at least, that's what Jennifer thought, but eventually she must have understood the gesture, and humored Jennifer's display by resting her sharp chin on the dainty hand. Whirred out a sound - not speech as they both agreed before the meeting - similar to a purr just to sell the lie further.

"This is Malvolio's beastie; the Apex," Jennifer introduced the cowering men to the creature, "This is the very beastie responsible for the incident nights prior, the one that claimed the lives of several of our staffs, patrons and Dicko himself, and if it weren't for my actions, would have resulted in more irreparable collateral that would have gained unwanted attention."

"As you can clearly see," Jennifer caressed the sharp jawline of the Apex, the beastie playing along and leaning in to the touch, "I am its master now. Which means it follows any command I give it, and only my command, which includes prioritizing my life either by defense or offense. Meaning, it will protect me from any and all perceived threats. Now..."

Jennifer leveled a heavy gaze on Ross' shrinking form, who seemed even more terrified as the Apex's sole red optic glared towards him as well.

"...are we all at an understanding and agreement in regards to my management over our dear late Dicko's enterprise?" Jennifer asks with a raised brow as her deadly blue eyes Or shall I leave all of you alone to think it over with our newest friend? I must warn you; I can't guarantee how well it'll react over a long period without its master."
