Hi, guys. So, little life update to everyone waiting for their starters and replies to be posted:

I caught COVID at work and honestly I have little to 0 energy and feel very brain dead. I’ll try to at least get a couple of things posted if I can finish up the drafts. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding and I’m so sorry about how flaky I’ve been on here.

New followers, welcome!

"...A-Avoiding...?"

Were they avoiding her specifically? The empress couldn't possibly imagine why they would avoid her. Had she done something to offend them? Or, perhaps avoidance was a practice they really had grown fond of.

"I see... What a curious thing to be obsessed with."

A tad rude, too.

@untaintedgold​

They peer over their shoulder at her. A heavy silence has fallen between them and for a while it seems like they aren’t going to break it. Instead they make a sound that could be a sniff. Pivioting their head away again they look up to the stars twinkling in the sky. 

“ Avoiding is my newest obsession ”

my blog is, and always will be, a safe place for people who are not confident in their english speaking abilities. you will never be judged or mocked here.

Good Girl.

"Thank you kindly! ...But who are you?"

[untaintedgold]

I’ll be taking a few more!

Give this a ❤️ for a starter! I'll most likely pop into your DMs here or on Discord to plot!

Okay, I really need to kick my ass into gear and be on here more.

My deepest and most sincere apologies for not coming back successfully twice now. My job is a lot more mentally exhausting than I had thought and leaves me very brain dead, but I miss writing and want to come back.

That means I'll have to restart or scrap old threads. So if we had a thread going prior, or one that was supposed to have started, let me know if you'd like to do a new thread or plot for one. My own personal preference is plotting prior, but either way is fine.

If you're new, welcome and thank you for following!

elysianbook​:

in silence, her face immediately lights up, adorned by a big smile and the usual rosy cheeks. the child often tries to not jump into assumptions, preferring to wait and later on, ask. for courtesy’s sake, and to keep her hopes at bay. hence, to hear an answer, a positive affirmation, so clear — it’s a moment of utmost delight. they are friends. good ones, even. how exciting!

ah, then her instinct was right. though, it’s not really a problem. on the contrary, that facilitates the process for her. if miss hikari isn’t prejudiced against ghosts, there’s no need to hide her real nature. ❝ i expected no less from a magical fairy princess, your soul must be highly attuned to sense the supernatural…! it makes me very, very happy that you are so accepting… i will dearly treasure this bond. ❞

timidity appears at the sudden offer. it’s tempting, moreover, if it has spellbooks and tomes, these might help her control her abilities.

however, the reaction of the castle folk is what’s worrying.

just a little, a tiny bit.

❝ as long as it is a non-issue, i would love to! if you are free, we could have a reading session together. ❞ her outstretched palm is an invitation for the royal to take it; to stroll toward the palace whilst holding hands. it’s a bold action, meant to emphasize her trust. normally, aside from formal greetings, she avoids touch, given how the temperature of her form is wintry cold.

❝ i promise to behave, after some time of being on this journey… i have improved my old uncouth habits. i do not leave books on the floor anymore. i am careful! ❞ her body is no longer an impediment, a burden, moving, floating as she pleases. a walk to the shelf and back to her bed would be nothing now.

What a curious little friend she had. But that was what Hikari loved about meeting newcomers, they were always the most surprising and most unusual people. This friendship was sure to be a special one and treasured.

"It has been a while since I last read with a companion. I look forward to our future reading sessions," she chirped, taking a gentle hold of El's hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. Although the child's hand was warm, Hikari didn't flinch or yank her hand back. How she wished she could give her warmth to El.

"I trust you, El. You behave and carry yourself as if you were a young noble lady," she complimented with a smile.

And so, Hikari led El through the forest, leaving behind the flowers to scatter to the wind and leave the Sacred Forest as it was.

A question did spring into her mind. If El hadn't been in a castle before, would it prove to be overwhelming for the little ghost? Would the Shirogane residence be better if she wanted something cozier?

"Will it be your first time in a palace?"

Send “Tell Me Why You Love Me” and my Muse will answer.

Inversely, send “Tell Me Why You Love Them” + another URL and the muse will talk about someone else!

“But my darling, safe is boring! There’s nothing exciting about it. No thrill, no surprises, nothing!” He would have flailed his hands around, but kept himself at bay for now, keeping them behind him as they continued weaving away.

“You could have had me fooled though! Usually when people take things and threats seriously, they deal with them. Which, i suppose this is one way, but it feels like you’ve left me here awaiting for more. Like an unfinished painting.” His eyes did look over the crystals. Possibly still as annoying as before, but now they were an solid annoyance.

“Khwehehehe. You’re not naive as you might seem, still it was worth a shot to try.” He muttered, before tilting his head. “Then what oh, what do you intend to do with me if not keep me here as your little prisoner?”

Yet her next words caused him to freeze for a moment, the bright smile he had, turning into a huge frown. “No, you are correct, she doesn’t give me attention or play around with me, but the fact that i take lives, is because its so much fun. A bit on why i plan to take yours!” with that he was done, he clapped his hands together, as from the shadows around them began rising dark beasts, with golden yellow eyes, like those of jokuri’s, but these seemed of darkness and their eyes were like those of jokuri’s. “Oh, don’t mind their smell, its not worse then their bite.”

Oh? Had she actually struck a nerve?

Seeing the smile turn into a frown caused her to smile, essentially taunting him. The smile quickly vanished for her as well as she noticed the shadows rising and taking on the form of beasts. "I should have known better than to think you were not up to anything," she grumbled. "A poor choice in retrospect."

Her weapon was brandished again as she took on a defensive stance. "A shame I have to let you down, dear Jokuri. I fear I do not die easy. Besides, I have too much I wish to do before I meet my end, so I recommend calling your shadow friends off," she advised as she lodged her staff into the ground and forced vines to madly grow around them and creep toward the beasts to bind them.

"What happens if you hypothetically kill me, though? Indulge me while I deal with your beasts."

╰  ☾  ☆ * : ･   ⁞    —     ˗ˏˋ           TEN QUESTIONS … oh ! He remembered that game. He used to play that game with his brother quite a few times before. At first, the game hadn’t really been all that fun. His brother had always been the stuffy type that preferred to keep to himself. He didn’t even know of his brother’s PAST until he and his brother met FATHER. Yet even then, they slowly opened up to each other and began to love and trust each other until the very end.

              ( At least, that was what he THOUGHT. )

              The child nods; eager to play the game again. It’s been so long; TOO LONG in fact. And of course, the game ( and everything else, really ) was more fun with his brother. But his brother wasn’t here so he would have to settle with playing with her.

              ‘ Yes ! I am ! I’ve played that a lot before ! ‘

              ‘ Who should start, Mademoiselle ? ‘

"Lovely!"

The empress clapped her gloved hands together in delight. She hadn't anticipated the youth to agree to it so quickly, but it spared her from having to convince him to play. At least now she could try to gain his trust and when her turn came, perhaps he would be more inclined to share the truth with her.

Whatever it was.

"Hm... How about you start us off, Misha-kun? I shall let you ask the questions first. Tis only fair, is it not?"
