Thinktober 27: Beast

So, real talk, I was going to continue Armaline’s story—out of a mix of magitek hunger and genuine interest, she starts pursuing weird creatures and Creatures to subsume their most interesting powers. This brings her afoul of one of the last mimics; it eats her, and like pineapple, she eats back.

It turns to gray goo just in time for a response team from a monster-hunting group to find her. The head of her department calls her a beast, a monster, but she doesn’t really take any offense—it’s true.

That’s cool and all and I love the idea of continuing a story and character through several of these prompts, but I want to get personal.

I think I got bit by a radioactive mosquito? 

I was scratching Hector’s forehead yesterday in the way a lot of dogs like, and he was looking at me with total bliss, and I realized my nails were longer—and sharper—than they should be.

Today, just now, what pushed me to make this post? We were having pork chops. I typically don’t care for pork chops; they’re tough for me to chew, and my TMD flares up and it’s a whole thing. Today? Not a single pop of discomfort from my jaw, but I nearabout bit my tongue off with my razor sharp teeth.

I think my skin is greenish, very very slightly. I KNOW the mosquito bite on my arm is an uncomfortable color. Can they… wait, can they transfer stuff between people?

I know Changeling’s rep as a soyboy vegetarian, but he’d squish a mosquito that bit him, right? And if he didn’t, it wouldn’t, like, pass on a lesser version of his whole thing, would it? Oh god, I hope it’d be a lesser version; I don’t think my spine would survive a shapeshift.

How do you reach the Teen Titans?

I dearly love @nudityandnerdery One of my best RPG buddies. But there does tend to be a reoccurring theme in games with them. Which has lead to the creation of this list, the most loving form of call out I know how to make.

A non-exhaustive List of my OCs and Their Willingness to allow Devin’s characters to Form a Cult

Lady Laurana (@ladylaurana)

The only reason she disapproves of him forming a cult is because they were told by a fortune teller that if Christoph meddled in politics, it would get him killed. Otherwise, she is 100% supportive of his cult based plans. She firmly believes that everyone needs a project, and she will help him however she can.

Tiberius

Easily bribed with food. Best animal sidekick.

Ezrabet von Adlerflügel (@ezrabet)

Rafael seems unlikely to start a cult, but also they’re fighting an evil cult, so… Not pro-cult. Unless it was devoted to pining, then sign her the fuck up.

Liana Bakahasab

Was absolutely not raised in a cult. Is absolutely not still a member. So, more likely to try and get Rafael to join her cult, would rather not have the competition.

Marianne de LaCroix (@hoylesbookoftricks)

Absolutely, 100% behind any decision to scam a lot of people. Mostly because it’s funny. Although pulling in money would be nice too, a girl has needs. Only issue is you can’t be 100% sure she’s not stealing your cult out from under you. Because it’d be boring not to.

Whispers

Do you need a sound effect of myriad voices chanting nameless sins? Because they can make that noise. Do not trust with anything shiny if you don’t want it swallowed.

Bethany/Amnayael (@voooid)

Does not seem particularly ethical if you call it a cult, but will probably go along with it happily if rebranded.

Luo Hua  (@drunknviolent)

Might as well. As long as it doesn’t require too much effort on her part, or need her to be sober.

Laney (@iamh3x)

No cults. Cults are bad. Will hunt you down and end you. Not worth crossing.

…. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 that is cruel….

…trueeeee

False!

I make excellent purchases while HIGH. We’re playing on Um, Actually levels of pedantry with this puppet tonight!

What is a habit that you don’t want people to know you have?
If you ask her why she keeps no mirrors in her quarters, she’ll tell you it’s because she doesn’t need them. She knows what she looks like, and doesn’t much care to change it one way or another. But in reality, she knows it’s because she’ll eventually catch sight of the scars again and she’ll fall into an old habit. She’ll stare. She’ll trace her fingers over the marks, she’ll get lost in flashbacks, she’ll wonder what she could have done differently. She’ll twist and turn and poke and prod, examine each one and remind herself what she’s been through and who she’s lost, and eventually she’ll start to retreat into who she was Before.

It’s a habit she’s not too keen to fall into again.

If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
Large, tough, exhausted

How do you want people to see you?
As a representative of the Law.

What is your ideal relationship like?
glances at Marianne Not sure I’m cut out for a relationship in my line of work

Have you ever had your heart broken? What are the details?
Ros was born into heartbreak. A mother that couldn’t love her, a father that didn’t want to. Her heart was broken a little more every time her mother pushed her away or her father raised a hand. And so eventually, over time, she hardened her heart to protect it.

What was the last thing you lied about? Why did you lie?
That she’s not afraid of her father anymore. She definitely is. But he has to tell herself that she’s not or she’ll never be able to face him.

Everyone wants to be Marianne’s Boo.

Trying a new thing.  Wrote a story short for my grandpa.  Maybe you’ll like it?  I don’t know

More drunk asks! This is the first of several for the night.

yeah,,,,,

Askbox is currently closed as I work my way through these older asks

So, a note for things that were learnt today, Arturo looked positively sinful in the suit she’d gotten him.

Admittedly she’d always been a bit of a sucker for anyone in a well cut suit, and this one was very well cut given the amount she’d paid for it last minute, but she’d gotten so used to travelling with him far from the more civilised aspect of the world, it came as a pleasant surprise that he cleaned up well.

He’s accepted her story of really needing an escort to a winter’s ball, stating very correctly that Dominic didn’t know how to relax and would spend the entire time expecting her to rob the place. And there was a lot of truth to that story, she really did need an escort; and there was a high stakes poker game as part of the festivities, so she was going to rob them blind.

But still, there was an hour before that started, and it was really quite lovely to have her arm linked with Arturo’s, sipping wine and thinking of how nice it might be to take a spin on the dance floor. It had been a while since she’d last been to a ball, it was nice to enjoy it for a little bit, making a show of whispering sweet nothings to her handsome suitor.

What a pity they were probably going to have to make a hasty exit part way through the evening.

10. how often do they lie? what situations cause them to be dishonest? —– Oh she lied on the daily with ya’ll lol. She mostly withholds information. She’ll lie to keep herself and her friends safe (it’s me, it’s me that can’t lie).

37. what is their favorite thing to hold? —– I mean it was her swords, it was a way to keep the memory of her family alive. Not so sure if she wants to do that anymore. In this moment it’s alcohol

49. what makes them smile? —– Obvious one is fighting - while fighting there is a chance to see what her true limit is. And for her it’s exhilarating, “when you have pushed yourself to your absolute limit and yet you still have some way to go. You must jump, and there are two outcomes. You will either fall, or you could fly. One day I will find out which is true for me”.

The other is passion - what makes you feel alive. what makes your heart sing. she loves seeing people go after these things. It’s like getting in tune with your entire being, truly knowing what your desires are. it’s a thrill, it’s beautiful. Oh! that’s why she has no patience for the yearning- ya’ll like each other yes? awesome, go make out.

To: chrisoph 😈🙄

hey does this look infected [picture of a cut that is Definitely infected]

oh haha sorry christoph that was for rana

hey will u show this to rana

Christoph: Exasperation, Warmth, Respect

Rafael: also Exasperation, Worry, and something else she’d rather not think about.

which party member do they relate to the most? In the Before times, Rowan. Now… she doesn’t know how to relate to any of them. But that weariness and paranoia in Mavis… It’s familiar.

what makes them cry? Niza hasn’t cried in over a decade.

outside of otherworldly forces, what do they believe in? Herself, which is new.

24) which of the four elements speaks to them the most? —–> Hmmmm air gives her a lot of comfort because of her diety, as long as she has that passing breeze stays close she feels safe. However earth is a much deeper connection for her. It’s healing, peaceful, it’s home. She spent a majority of her childhood in the woods along with Proto, her caretaker and teacher. Younger Mavis causally and regularly hugged trees.

27) how do they mourn? —–> On the outside it looks very numb, she doesn’t express a lot. It’s a little surprising. She’s a cleric and a traveling healer, she’s seen her fair share of death and then some. But she’s never lost anyone personally, that you know of. If she did the shock of it would cause the numbness, but the mourning process is done very privately. There would be a lot of prayer, most likely up in a tree. She’d find the time to create either a painting or use stone shape to honor her loved one. With enough time she would talk to anyone that listens about them, so their memory lives on, “No one every truly dies as long as we are here to remind the world of them. Their stories live on through us”.

60) do they whisper or yell more often? —–> I’d like to think she whispers more? I think? lol Um she doesn’t yell out of anger… except for that one time when clothes were exchanged and all that hehehe. There are actions that spark yelling, if someone were to talk to her like she’s a child she’d combust. If someone called her short - also combust(that’s for younger mavis). Pure rage yelling? That comes out when her friends or innocents are threatened
