[lowkeyclueless5137]

Remember that Sonic AU with Idia and Ortho as main protagonists. Well uhh Please do the ‘Knuckles’ show equivalent in it please? 😀💧

WHEN I TELL U THAT I DID THINK ABT IT AFTER THE FIRST SONIC ASK-

Here's also the ask in question for ref.

Well imma leave you with a short intro, bcs there's so much to unpack. This thing was in my mind basement for a while :'3

We start off with a smol timeskip! :D

And during that timeskip, things do happen around: Mainly school activities. For Ortho, school was a bit more difficult when you and your buddies are known around as the supernatural powered dudes who fought the corrupted mad scientist and a fraction of the government. This made some things like sports events or extra activities to be more complicated than intended.

The most shocking thing tho was *gasp* Idia managed to pull a date?!?!

Our group was absolutely baffled when Idia revealed that he ended up hitting around dating 2 dudes: 1 silly library guy and one who owns a small restaurant in their little town. And they were decent people too!

The only problem was that, like most people who were not involved in the said adventure (either directly involved, related or witnesses) Azul and Malleus, Idia's boyfriends, don't know that the firehead was much more than just some silly alien guy. And Idia insisted at our first years group to keep it that way, because it was 1 talk that the latter found it pretty hard to address.

Now our new adventure starts by the end of the school year. There was the school prom! And being such a small town(almost a village if you will), the school prom was a pretty popular event around. Kinda a spice to the, otherwise boring, days around.

But before that, there was the academic scores settling. And everything. A lot of tests coming up and a lot of grades filling in. Ortho would say that he was a top student and he shouldn't fear when his grade situation gets mailed out, yet still, he was on literal edge for mail day, which Idia took it as odd. Doesn't help that Ortho inheritantly was super fast, thus he always grabbed the mail before his brother and went through it at lightning speed.

One day, Ortho comes back from school, to find that the mail came later today, while he was in class and it wasn't a skip day, and Idia took it before him. Of course, the dread was very real and the rest of the first years, who knew exactly what was up, tried to reassure their buddy that 'hey, we all got the same fate in there'.

Idia, naturally, wasn't that happy with a particular class Ortho had: Socials. While he had a nearly perfect score everywhere else, socials was a mediocre one, bearly passing. Idia couldn't complain about Literature or Arts, he knew those old ass teachers still were petty and poured their hate on the kids, still Ortho had pretty good grades at them. The socials was where Idia found it wierd. And naturally, he asks the group about it, when Sebek blurts out that all of them have the same grade.

Turns out that, since the incident, the school implemented an obligatory class: Socials. And for this, they got a teacher from a bigger city, who happens to also have a much more 'different' approach to things. Our group doubts any class in this school has an actual great grade at that particular class, so please, Idia, excuse them, maybe buy them consolatory ice-cream while at it? :'3

Idia does excuse them, but insists that, if socials are mandatory next year too, the group will try to do better in there. Now they only had a few school days left, so he couldn't really hope the grades will 'magically fix themselves'.

Hey, at least they are passing! :'D

Still, that day, Epel points out that Idia was much more fidgety, hence his very messy reaction to the grades. He was all over the place and, clearly, he was a few secs away from causing an earthquake. The latter just shows up his hand, which had an engagement ring on it.

Long story short, Malleus proposed today and, of course, Idia and Azul accepted with no 2nd thoughts. The librarian really was rushing into things whenever he saw green light apparently. :'3

So all summer, Idia was preparing mentally and physically for the marriage. For him, it was a more important task to see how he could break the news to his fiancés about the fact that he is literally the god of this planet. Ortho did try to reassure that the best case scenario: nobody has a heart attack or faints! What a good option! :D

By the end of the summer, the plans were made: an early autumn wedding, with the venue on a more retreated beach. Very little touches had to be done until the big day itself and Idia was getting restless as it approached.

Ortho really saw it as both a very beautiful thing and as a problem. On one hand, he liked Idia's fiancés and he would be very happy with the resulting marriage, especially if it made his big brother happy, but on the other hand, everything was moving very fast and, clearly, Idia had a harder time keeping the pace than Ortho. The rest of the first years are also trying to help Idia with his Woes, but it's pretty hard to calm him down. On more than one occasion, Idia was back to his big form, hid behind trees and mountains and simply processing the situation while our group talked to him, mostly to keep him grounded from making all kinds of imaginary scenarios and worrying himself more.

It was time tho, for Ortho's 2nd year of high-school. He was pretty excited about it, until he heard that socials were, yet again, a mandatory class. Doesn't help that Idia's wedding was in the first school weekend. The good part, Alex, Ace's big brother, was helping Idia when our group was at classes. (they became proper friends at the end of their adventure)

So with around 5 days until the big day, things were slowly looking out to be better. Things were settled, programs were fine and everything was coming together very nicely.

Except that things couldn't be very nice all the time.

Our lil group was out through town one evening, when they stumble across another alien, this one set on hunting the Shrouds. Of course, upon noticing Ortho, it escalated into a fight.

And now, this guy was freakishly agile. It didn't help that the red marks on his body, along the bright red hair, indicated that his origins were, definitely, from the same planet Idia and Ortho came from. Still, he reffers to Ortho as a 'threat' and thus has to handle it upon the rules of his homeland: by killing the boy.

Of course, things get much more clear when Crowley returns, saying that this is his new little ally. Thankfully, before shit can actually hit the fan, our group is saved by a misterious blonde guy, who can apparently shapeshift into any person.

That guy is Vil Schonenheit, upon his introduction. The other one was Riddle, an esteemed guard of temple of the core, from their home planet. He does make a short history of why Riddle was so set on killing Ortho.

Many years ago, a Shroud actually achieved a tie with their planet core, thus absolving immortality and immense power. The chaos emeralds were expelled to earth, while the said Shroud was locked in the temple of the core, as to prevent any wish of destroying their home. Riddle came from a line of guards who trained all their life to guarding the said temple. If anything went wrong, the guards were trained so that they could kill anything except a Shroud that was already tied to a core.

Vil also adds that he was not a guard, but an entertainer. He was, initially, given as a sacrifice by his, now deceased, mother, to please the 'diety', but he was spared, even so, the Shroud protected him from his prison, until he was old enough to venture back to his worried father. Thus he was forever indebted to that man. His wife was killed by the guards and he was unable to do anything but watch, believing that his children suffered the same fate too. So when Crowley came forth, his presence angered the Shroud. Crowley preached about 2 more of that kind here, on Earth. Riddle was chosen to accompany Crowley and get rid of the said threats, while Vil was told to go and stop this, to protect the Shroud's 2 sons.

Ortho is, rightfully, very shook by this revelation, but our group insist that already Idia tied in with Earth's core. Vil now is genuinely worried about this, because it's either Idia accepts to be locked away forever or he gets forcefully put to sleep by the guardians, once they find out what happened. Crowley didn't say anything about one of the brothers actually achieving this oh so feared form, so they didn't think too much on how deep this thing is.

For now, Riddle was on their trail, so as to not worry Idia, Ortho played the 'I'm having a sleepover at Ace so u could smooch with your fiancés before the wedding' card. It worked! Idia was too flustered to fully question why the sudden decision. :P

Alex is also very taken aback by this new trouble our group got into. Like being chased by the government wasn't enough, huh?! Still, he complies on trying to divert Idia's attention off this mess while the rest try to get Riddle to realise that Crowley is using him for the emeralds.

Cue a lot of running around. Riddle was 1 relentless mf. :'3

But, on their now daily chases, our group gets in mingling with the secret services. Again. :'D

Long story short, they caused a lot of trouble. Crowley was still on the loose, with his new little puppet being a force to reckon with. So the course of action taken by the said secret services was to take Idia in custody until Riddle gets wind of it and walks right into the trap.

It was a horrible plan, really. Especially with the upcoming wedding. :'3

We get introduced to Jade and Floyd, 2 secret service agents in the new branch of 'dealing with alien threats'. They actually prove to be a thorn in Riddle's sides, especially Floyd who is relentlessly taunting the redhead, thus allowing for Riddle to be distracted mid altercation.

And oh, is Riddle fuming! He became so enraged that the second he spots even the tiniest hair of Floyd, he goes tunnel vision and hunts that guy for the life of him. This put breaks in Crowley's plans enough so our group could actually devise a proper plan. The wedding was actually tomorrow and they were running out of time. Idia had to find out one way or another. Preferably after the wedding itself, ya know. :'3

But, first, the wedding! It was a very pretty location, still warm due to the early autumn, and it was small, pretty retreated.

Except that crow man cannot help but bust that shit too. Imagine Riddle's surprise when he sees 2 Shrouds, one who shows the signs of his bind to the planet's core.

BUT! Before anyone could do anything against it, it turns out a good chunk of the guests and the catering team were secret government agents. Azul also was one, pretty obvious after he pulled a mf gun on Riddle.

Turns out Azul was dispatched on a discreet operation of supervising Idia, which he really wasn't supposed to end up marrying him. So there's that. :P

Everything is messed up and so overwhelming that Idia actually snaps under the pressure and shows the full extent of his power: a gigantic being of magma and fire, raising walls and waves to separate people from each other.

Poor Malleus, he's the only guy who literally has no idea what is happening. Please, let him get married in peace. :'3

Naturally, Riddle's approach is to confront Crowley about lying to him, that none of the 2 is actually tied to the planet's core. This complicates things. Idia cannot be killed, because if he dies, so will the planet slowly, due to how young Idia was. Crowley was aware of this effect and still pushed the redhead to hunt the Shrouds.

Truth was, Crowley still wanted the chaos emeralds. And Idia, along with our group, had them. By having Riddle hunt them, Crowley was sure he could back them up and get the emeralds one by one.

Cue Idia losing his shit at that revelation. Like, it's a lot to take in today. His wedding was crashed, Crowley is back, apparently more aliens from his original birthplace came here, his father is alive, Ortho was hunted, and one of his almost husband was a secret agent, initially tasked with supervising him.

Cue grabbing crow man and chucking him through the ocean. Like if he dies, Idia doesn't fricking care. He's done and over and now he's staying criss-crossed, sulking as a petty kid, except that he's basically an all powerful diety of this earth. :'3

Still, Ortho tries to reach out to him, with the help of the rest of the group, Ortho manages to climb on Idia's shoulder and try to talk to him, firstly apologising for hiding the whole hunting thing from him. Idia accepts the apology, adding that he was worried sick when this whole thing got to light. Then Ortho urges to forgive Azul too, because he genuinely seems to love him and Malleus. And the 2 most likely are trying to see how to approach this whole thing. Idia is a bit hesitant, but he does allow Ortho to hug his cheek, before putting him gently down and grabbing Azul with Malleus. After they had a short talk, it was pretty obvious the small 2 kisses on the cheek and Idia seemed pretty happy as he finally rested back to his human form.

The wedding is still on tho! Except that most of the fancy dressing is torn or dirty from the fight around. :v

Idia gets properly introduced to Vil and Riddle. Being in an actual good mood, Idia does forgive Riddle, mostly since Crowley did manipulate him into this shit. The redhead does insist that if word goes back to the council of guardians, Idia will have to be locked away. That's how they kept his father too, in fear of destroying their planet. Buuuuuttttt if Riddle and Vil were here to, let's say, take care of this, then technically they could report that Idia was 'settled down' and it was safe. :3

The nice part, Vil and Riddle did settle in with new thing in their little town. Riddle as a teacher, while Vil as a theatre manager(upon promotions) so it was pretty chill and not anymore fear of other aliens possibly coming down to hunt the Shroud brothers.

The not so nice part: our group is still almost failing at socials :'3

A thing tho, was that our bros did ask Vil and Riddle if it's possible to see their father. The 2 said that for Ortho, it could be easier, but for Idia, due to still being fresh, him leaving the planet now, even for a bit, it could result in natural disasters left and right. Their best shot is having the father coming here, but that was, upon their words, impossible to achieve with the current guardian situation. Being tied to the core for much longer, Mr Shroud could leave it to be independent for a while, but, again, the guardians won't allow such thing.

So for now, they have no option but to leave it as that. U-Ub

#twisted wonderland #asks :3 #sonic au #Damn... It is long :'3 #But I think it's nice... I had to include that wedding scene somehow :'3

. . . loading : real-life otome simulator ☆ - chapter 2

❤︎ prologue ; chapter 1 ❤︎ tags : female reader, reader is yuu, extrovert reader, second-year reader, sfw, fluff, chapter 6 spoilers ❤︎ author's note : english isn't my first language, please make sure to point out mistakes if any! :) you can read this work on ao3 & wattpad ^^!

. . . loading 2nd chapter : 45% (in which Idia just can’t really comprehend extroversion mess and maybe a game session isn’t so game-ish anymore)

Idia can’t sleep. 

He has tried closing his eyes countless times, and yet it’s already 3:47 am. What’s the point of being awake now? The sound of Ortho charging on a dock station isn’t disturbing in any way, moreover, usually it even helps. Some people buying aroma candles, Idia himself heard from Vil (another story of how he ended up in a potionology class, flesh-and-blood, but yes, he did heard it in live ) that maintaining sleep schedule is important, and in cases of insomnia he, above all, should visit a doctor, and then he could try drinking herbal teas, and… blah-blah, another normie talks or whatsoever.

For a second Idia thought it would be better if he closed his eyes and saw himself ordering a whole pack of 20+ aroma candles with a huge variety of scents as a cure from insomnia, but of course it won’t happen. 

He saw Yuu‘s smug face instead. Idia Shroud, true genius, proud eccentric, pro-gamer in all fields (except these stupid otome ones), a grown-up 18 years old adult by now, can’t damn sleep because the one magicless girl is haunting him at night. Oh Sevens, another day, another flop. How the hell could he comprehend what happened today? Oh, the day already passed, it’s night, then it’s yesterday then. Idia despised himself at some rate due to behaving in a normie way. Would be just perfect if he graduated from this shitty college as soon as possible, live with Ortho, play his favorite games everyday, maybe raising a cat or two - Sevens, he just wants a fluffy cute little creature to give his sudden bursts of attention to at least someone (bonus points if it’s meowing instead of talking, so he won’t deal with embarrassing situations). That would be so perfect, so safe and comfortable for him, but fate has other plans stored for him.

Idia bit his lip, leaving another mark comparable to a scratch, and sighed heavily, closing his eyelids in the hope of erasing the image of the girl from his memory. He heard his underclassman once. An Ignihyde - Ignhyde!! - student asked Idia if he could give him advice as a dorm head, and Idia thought he built a strong enough image of him as a dorm leader - unreliable, insecure, uncommunicative, mysterious maybe, but nothing out of character. Idia tried his best, though, giving a nod and convincing himself it was just a small technical problem, but then…

“D-dorm head,” the student mumbled back then, and Idia thought of a quite distinguishing feature of all Ignihyde students - stuttering out of embarrassment. “I have no friends to consult… Can you give me a piece of advice?”

“W-well… Y-yeah, let’s see…” Idia hated being responsible for others. You’ve managed getting accepted into this college somehow, then you would handle the rest too, right? Why ask others? Why communicating? Argh, it was driving him insane. 

“Y-you know… I-I… I guess I have a crush on someone…”

Sevens, it was hell. Idia wondered if Hades has ever encountered such a situation? What would he do if he was in Idia’s shoes? 

He can’t remember what it was that he told him in response, but two weeks later the student ended up being rejected. Of course he was! Who would want to deal with gloomy, irritable and antisocial students? It was just logical thinking, rationale and just. 

Yeah, normies behavior is the worst. He couldn’t believe he was thinking of Yuu when he could be gaming or oh wow sleeping even. Was it his first or second sleep deprived day? He can’t remember.

Idia will be staying in his room as always, but this isn’t helping. Ortho was looking really intimidating when he said he wants Idia’s room to be clean and neat when he and Yuu will be back after classes. So much stress for one shitty day. 

For a second he thought of completing the game this night so Yuu will lose and yeah, she’ll complain for some time, maybe kick his ass, but that’s bearable, that would do. He even completed the route Yuu was finishing yesterday, all thanks to her walkthrough though , but then he thought Ortho will be disappointed in him and Idia couldn’t afford keeping his little brother sad. 

Well… if he can’t sleep, maybe he can do something productive now? 

With that thought he jumped off the bed, sighing and deciding to rearrange his figurines at least, preparing for a long morning full of normies tactics. Isn’t it pitiful?.. He thought, rolling up his sleeves and grabbing monitor wipes.

───◌┈┈───♡⃝───┈┈◌───

 “Good morning, brother!ー Huh?”

Ortho turned on automatically, and the image of Idia with the lanky limbs of his sleeping rather uncomfortably on the floor, perfectly neat and clean room remained untouched. Ortho couldn’t analyze the received data for a mere seconds, but then his eyes blinked with a light of joy. 

“Hehehe~” Ortho laughed, making Idia lay in a more comfortable position and bringing spare pillows to lay on. “See you soon, big brother!”

Idia woke up a few hours later, finding himself with tangled limbs, his whole body aching from pain. Unpleasant anxiety filled him, as if spreading over the body with viscid ink. He tried to escape his thoughts, accumulating in his head, when he took a look at the pillows around him, smiling and imagining Ortho keeping his precious brother in a cozy comfortable atmosphere.

Luckily for him, there were no dorm heads meeting today, he already could proclaim he’s a deadman because of Yuu coming to his damn room. Geez, was it necessary to ventilate the space or was some basic cleaning enough already? Could he be considered maintaining a healthy lifestyle by now? Argh, he started thinking he was doing it for Ortho, not for the girl who tried to debate him!

Alright, enough worry. He was going to beat her anyway, what would possibly go wrong?

His whole existence, apparently. 

───◌┈┈───♡⃝───┈┈◌───

Yuu pulled all-nighter. It was not an unfamiliar thing for her to do, despite all Lilia’s complainings, but it was worth it, or so she thought.

Ortho kept on asking her, how was her school day, wasn’t she tired because according to his tests her state wasn’t a 100% one, but she insisted it was fairly normal. Human beings were still the most complicated creatures, Ortho thought.

Yuu felt some gazes lingered on her silhouette as she walked through endless corridors filled with glowing bluish light. She got used to being watched, but couldn’t help but wonder if it’s okay for her to approach Idia right now? She did not want to make him uncomfortable, even slightest.

“Alright, Yuu! Please have fun, I’ll check on you two later,” Ortho stopped at the massive heavy-looking door, tagging the girl on her sleeve as she wanted to proceed further without any thinking. 

“Oh, thank you for showing me the way. See you!”

She hugged him, a smile spreading across her face. She took several deep breaths before knocking. But this, however, was not necessary ー Idia heard and saw her mental preparation on the cameras installed in the corridor, and thought about whether such great courage and determination was really needed to enter the room of a worthless otaku.

“Hello, Idia, it’s me, Yuu!”

“C-c-come in…” Yuu heard him mumbling behind the door, and made her way into his room.

His room was everything she expected, but suspiciously cleaner. Neatly arranged things, consoles, figurines and books with complicated names on its spines made her too stunned to speak.

“Urgh, just sit wherever you’d like…”

“Do you have a spare chair then? I promise I won’t sit close to you so you’re not in an uncomfortable position. Gotta keep a safe distance, you know,” she smiled but Idia didn’t find anything funny.

He does not have a spare chair. Shit.

Panic overwhelmed him at once, causing to tremble a little, and Yuu figured out he actually did not have one. Small “ah!” escaped her lips suddenly, making Idia shift his attention to her.

“I can sit on the floor! I’ll stretch a bit in case I won’t see the monitor.”

“N-no need…”

Suddenly a whole monitor just lost its glow, as if curled into a thin line, to appear right at the level of her face, closer to the floor. She gasped, astonished by the tech development of this world, and made herself comfortable on the floor, minding if it was alright to grab a pillow.

“Thank you, but… How would you look at it yourself?”

It's a nightmare, it's unbearable, he just kept embarrassing himself, worsening the situation with every second!

“I have an idea, if you wouldn’t mind,” Idia glanced at her, trying to cover his pink hair tips in vain. “You can sit beside me on the floor.”

Oh Sevens, he wanted it over already. 

He didn’t say anything to her, though, sinking to the floor and pulling his knees to his chest, burrowing. He dropped his chin on the knee bones that were showing through his pants, to which Yuu swallowed vaguely  

It was awkward. 

“S-shouldn’t you do your extrovert stuff and just… You know…” Idia grabbed a console, stuttering while speaking and totally avoiding her straightforward piercing gaze, when she chuckled suddenly.

“Thank you for asking, dear customer! Today in stock: extroverted monologues which can help you in case you find silence awkward and don’t want to chat yourself, then we have an amazingly wide range of topics for conversation with the ability of further discussion support.”

“Geez, you’re spending too much time with Azul, quit it. You won’t gain anything good from it.”

“Heheh, you know him well! In any case, our service can provide you with another helpful item. Look here.”

Yuu gave him her phone. Apparently there was a 30 seconds-long video in her phone gallery, and he didn’t get what she expected him to do. Giving a small nod, she encouraged him to tap on a play button, and he did accordingly.

Idia recognized the music immediately, a remix of the newest Gakemo song played. It was a MijiU edit, many frames of her fancams flashed before his eyes, cool video effects changed each other with smooth transitions, not to mention pretty decent work on a soundtrack. Yuu picked MijiU finest fancams with the best outfit choices, considering Idia was quite picky with them, and Yuu managed to guess his tastes correctly… 

Yuu wanted to ask Idia for his opinion on her edit on which she spent an unholy amount of time during a night she could be sleeping peacefully, but he pressed on the slider, dragging it to the start, and rewatched edit five times in a row, his golden eyes flickering with unconcealed childlike joy. 

“U-ugh!” Idia realized he showed too much of his emotions and quickly tried regaining himself, pink hue covering his hair tips. “Did you do it yourself?”

“Yeah, I haven’t done edits since I got isekai-ed into Twisted Wonderland.. I thought of creating a  MagiCam acc dedicated to kpop edits, what do you think, heh?” 

“Kpop?” Idia asked.

“Ah, yeah, it’s the music genre. K stands for korean, and pop… I guess you have it here. Since Gakemo music sounds similar to one we call kpop in my world, then maybe it is called twst-pop here? Lol,” Yuu chuckled, making silly guesses as Idia rewatched an edit once more.

“I-I suggest you invest into this, sounds pretty cool…” He returned the phone to her. “O-oh, and t-thank you for this edit… You didn’t have to do it…”

“My pleasure! I thought I would cause quite a nuisance by being here, since you didn’t agree wholeheartedly to me coming here in your room. I’m glad you liked it! I’ll make more once I have time.”

It was another normie tactic of hers, don’t fall for it, it’s a trap, Idia thought, finally managing to keep his hair steadily blue as usual, calming his heart as well as pink hair tips. 

Idia turned in his computer, a password needed for proceeding. A crazy long combination of digits appeared as black dots.

“Right down up right right down right right up up down down. Rotate, Invert, One revolution,[1]” Yuu hummed as if she was singing an unknown to Idia song, and he glanced at her real quick. 

“E-eh?” He was genuinely confused, while the desktop image appeared on the monitor. An anime scenery, similar to something from Hayao Miyazaki’s works, and Yuu thought Idia decided to play it safe, almost revealing her sixth sense and guessing he changed it before she came. She would be okay with anything, considering she wanted to use Changhee[2] pic as her lockscreen, but it was impossible since the idol doesn’t even exist in this world, so she uses Kintoki from Kintama[3] pic instead. 

“It’s a song from my world, maybe I should write the lyrics to you, I guess you can relate to it at some rate. I wonder if you have vocaloids in your world too…”

Idia now realized how he sounded to all the normies surrounding him occasionally in this college. Yuu was speaking an alien language, at least it sounded like that to him, but he thought it wasn’t bad… She had her geek side too, it felt… pretty much okay?

The opening scene began to play, and Idia quickly skipped it. He watched it one first time, and so did Yuu, it was enough. The whole menu was redesigned due to a true ending route finally unlocking, four walls ruined as cerulean butterflies enveloped menu buttons, small bell ringing noises escaping from wings flapping. Mysterious atmosphere got Yuu excited as Idia began the game. Yeah, the design was pretty, but the story still hasn’t awakened anything in him.

The main heroine found herself locked in an unknown apartament, the music citing suspense lingering everywhere. Idia observed Yuu‘s side profile quickly, noticing pupils dilating in excitement, and he could understand her bright mood. It’s okay if she finds the game interesting, well, it was decent at least. Not that he wanted to voice his opinion to her, though.

“Y-you know,” Idia interrupted the silence, which wasn’t uncomfortable, but Idia felt stupid speaking so suddenly. Yuu didn’t mind, though, tilting her head to see him better. “Many players get stuck in the first chapter because the difficulty level increases insanely.”

“Mhm, I heard about it. I’m still in no favor of turning the challenge down,” oh, Idia got it, she was persistent as hell. 

“T-the game has a database with possible questions on which players need to answer by typing themselves, no options offered…” he continued, as she managed to keep up with his reading pace while he was clicking on his console, her eyes locked on the screen. “It has, like, at least o-one hundred possible questions b-based on your previous walkthrough…”

“Ooh! That’s so innovative!! Twisted Wonderland's AI development is incredible, really.”

“R-right?!” Idia’s voice suddenly became louder, but Yuu only smiled at him, returning him back to earth, him feeling highly embarrassed. “Ughm.”

They continued playing in silence interrupted only by the main heroine’s voice trembling, giving she was scared of being locked up and chatting with an unknown man through her phone. Yuu adjusted herself on the floor, nearly brushing Idia’s shoulder for a mere second, and got him squeaking in fear of being touched. She apologized for being inconsiderate, feeling embarrassment accumulating in her. She got so comfortable that she forgot they weren’t friends, it was a pleasant acquaintance for sure, but nothing more than that, to her regret. 

In any case, they proceeded further, and a mysterious man who was chatting with the heroine, threw her into another chat with people she didn’t know. The players knew, though, since the characters were other love interests. 

“Aww, look at K[4] being concerned about the heroine,” Yuu mumbled, cupping her face in her hands and smiling. 

“Ew, gross, stop,” Idia cringed at her, quickly skipping the whole scene. 

“Hey, wait, show me the log, maybe there was something important to the question we’ll get soon!” She protested, considering grabbing his console, but Idia just brushed her off.

“Nah, another normie cringe flirting, set me free, ‘kay? You’ll be in charge of these lame things.”

“I don’t mind, but I still need to see what they’re talking about!! How am I supposed to do it when you’re skipping a whole scene?”

“Chill, I don’t think there was something important.”

“Argh, just how are you so sure!! Yo, give me the console, I’ll check it real quick myself.”

“Woah, normie, get yourself together. Me giving you my console? Not gonna happen.”

And she thought the friendship was about to blossom despite every embarrassing interaction they had today. 

She grumbled and furrowed her brows, not impressed by the Idia’s sly grin. He stretched out his hand with the console, making it almost impossible to grab for her. She leaned over, causing Idia to jump out of his place, making him stand, and she did the same. Their height difference hit her hard, giving she was really small next to him. Yuu realized it only now. 

Idia was tall. Like, really tall. 

“Dude, I highly recommend you to not pick up fights with me!”

“Heh, what’s with your casual confidence, normie?”

“Argh, don’t tell me we’re back to calling me normie!!” 

Yuu decided to step closer, grabbing Idia’s shirt and making him scream. 

“G-g-g-geez, normie, stay back! Critical damage taken, need a HP recovery item asap…”

Console fell out of his hands, and Yuu managed to grab it in midair somehow, but an unusual sound came from the game, shifting their attention to the screen.

“Shit,” Idia hissed.

There it is. The choice.

“Urgh!!” Yuu sounded furious. “We skipped this whole scene, how should I know! I don’t even understand what was happening for the last 5 minutes.”

“Chill, I’ll manage, look.”

Idia escaped the game without saving, causing Yuu to frown, but when Idia entered the game again, they continued right where they stopped, the answer window still floating in the middle of the screen. 

“What the…” he mumbled. “Wait a bit.”

He opened the browser and showed her a bunch of comments saying one can’t proceed without answering, and even deleting the game isn’t helping. It’s either one managed to guess correctly or one’ll be stuck for god knows how long.

“Guess we’re in this together,” Yuu sighed in disappointment, placing herself on the floor again, when Idia visibly began trembling.

And what was he dragged into even?.. 

❤︎ notes :

This 'true route' feature will have A LOT of references to Mystic Messenger so be prepared hhh

Yuu in this fic is much shorter than Idia.

ALRIGHT THEN! let´s start to block them out today

starting off with Doily here, then to Nat then we prepare thier eyes and Dallas and Kitube done tomorrow then thier eyes and then we can sculpt them

also here are the Steps as a good breakdown, doing this so i don´t forget thee quality im going for

Blockout

Blockout is the first half of my 3D modeling process where i set up a basic shape for my models for later sculpting, tho i do get the Teeth and claws done here too so i can save sometime doing the Retopo with those been retopo´d during the next part, i always prefer to get these done in one day and i like to do more then one

Sculpt

the Sculpting is the well 3D organic sculpting of the models of my models and will often be used as a base for the next half of the 3D process so i gotta do a damn fucking good job. this is also the most fun part of the 3D modeling process

Tho it depends on the character or creature Basic sculpting workflow for a Human(Like say Doily) is as fellow

Head And Neck:

- basic Head/SkullShape

- Eyes

- Nose

- Mouth

- Ears

- Eyes (Details)

- Nose (Details)

- Mouth (Details)

- Ears (Deatils)

- Neck

- Hair base ref(for later grooming)

Body and Limbs:

- basic muscles for the Body and Tail(if they do have a Tail)

- Basic Body sculpt

- Detailed Body Sculpt

- more detailed Body sculpt with Head and Neck attached

- Basic muscles for front limbs

- Basic front limb Sculpt

- Detailed front limb sculpt

- Basic muscles for Back limbs

- Basic Back limb Sculpt

- Detailed Back limb sculpt

Hands:

Starts out maybe with doing some Retopo on the Nails before I get to work, same story on the feet OF the character got feet for that

- Finger(it kinda depends really but mostly this is a copy and paste)

- Thumbs

- whole Hand

- Whole hand details

- Whole arm

And then I will attach the arm to the body

Feet

Same as for the hands, nails get a Retopo then I sculpt them

- basic Sculpt for the foot

- Big Toe

- Other toes

- Big Toe (Details and attaching to the foot)

- other Toes (Details and attaching to the foot)

- Foot Details

- Foot to the legs

And then I attach the leg to the body and refine the body

Retopo/UVs

Retopo is short for retopology and is basicly getting my models into a place where i can use them for Animation and textureing later on, gotta make sure the models are not too high or too low poly as i do use a subdivision modifier to smooth them out and mainly at level 1 for everything, i use UVPacker for the UV maps tho i might wanna also do a few fix´s myself too, it´s also here i get the Textures ready,

these are the numbers i use for texture size´s

1024x1024 - for teeth, nails and tounges 2048X2048 - for clothing, claws and other things 4096X4096 - mainly for skin

for anything with wings i might use a UDIM for a 2048X2048 + 2048X2048 texture size

Multires/Textureing

another fun part tho i would like to improve alot more here especially after someone told my T-Rex looked a bit too smooth, what i will oftn do here is to first get a multires sculpt done then fellowed by a good texture pianting and shader editing, getting the blender materials to look as real as i can while also keep it looking good, on the Subject of textureing pianting i found it´s easier to use a Mask and 2nd layer for the mouth and other things like head crests

i did try out a few things to make the textureing better and i hope to use these not just for these upcomming models but also in the future after haveing made this whole thread

Bakeing/Shadeing

i wasn´t always a big fan of bakeing but by setting it to 8 in the viewport and 10 in the rendering in cycles i think things have been made a whole lot easier for me when it comes to the subject of bakeing, trying my best to avoid useing a cage in blender lately as im not the biggest fan of it tho i do feel like useing a cage for the clothing might help a bit

getting the shaders to look right in eevee is always a fun challange tho with the eyes been fixed aroundthe time time before i do the textureing or after

Grooming

Grooming is the part where i add in the fur, hair and feathers to my fuzzy or fluffy critters or people, still trying to improve here i think tho im getting kinda better, the hair shaders are the hardest part to get right in eevee but i might get them to work

Basic Rigging/Weight painting

after all of that work the 3 final steps are to make the models useable for animation like giveing them an amature inside of them first step is pretty straight forwards, a basic deformation rig and wheight pianting, once all that´s done it´s over to adding in weight pianting for the corrective smooth as well as getting the clothing weight pianted useing a data tranfer, once it´s all ready i´ll get the TGT bones ready and then we do the next half

Complex Rigging/bone custom shapes

the Complex rigging stage is also where i add in custom bone shapes, it´s mainly about here adding in controls for animation and make them easy as butter to animate, things like FK/IK switchs and better controls for the mouth and arm fellow and so on,

Shape keys/animation constraints

finally i´ll add in shape keys to the arms and legs tho it´s not 100% needed eveyrwhere as i think i have gotten better with the weight pianting over this last few years

End reslut

a great model i can use for animation and poseing so i don´t have to draw my OC´s all the time whice is always nice

to keep track of my models i always have a google doc to keep everything in check

and to make sure i do a damn good job i always watch some videos on the topics of the areas, YouTube or bought ccourses

alright with that said, i´ll get to watch a video on the topic of blockout and then we can begin on Nat and Doily´s blockouts today.

Study Date

Kim Doyoung

Warnings: smut, fluff

Word count: 1.2K

♡

"Y/n wake up! Your going to be late", your best friend Seulgi furiously shook you. Hearing her words you bolted upright and ran to the shower. This was your 2nd year in university and you were stressed about the upcoming exams so you over slept..... again.

[Time skip]

You were in the lecture theater waiting for your professor to arrive when suddenly you felt someone tap your shoulder from the back. It was Kim Doyoung. He looked gorgeous as usual. It was no secret that you had a crush on him. The way you looked and spoke to him. It was pretty obvious. He's a smart guy, he knows you have feelings for him but never confronted you about it. "What did you get for the literature", he asked smiling. "I got a D", you said with a sad,disappointing sigh. He gave your shoulder a sympathetic pat and came to sit next to you. "You know. I'm avaliable this afternoon if you need some help. I honestly don't mind", he suggested. You thought about it for a while until your professor walked in. Let's say he wasn't in a good mood.

A few minutes later you handed Doyoung a letter that read:

Where and When?.

He unintentionally smirked at the page and replied with:

My dorm at 4pm.

You couldn't help but smile.

The rest of the day was pretty tough. Lessons felt extra long and you barely had a break. You were hungry and exhausted. Studying with Doyoung later on gave you motivation to just push through for the rest of the day. You couldn't wait. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary really. You and Doyoung were friends. Hanging out with him was normal but it was always with a group of friends. Today you two were alone.

You were outside his dorm and texted Seulgi telling her that you were going to be late because you were studying with Doyoung. You gave yourself a small pep talk. "C'mon girl, you got this. I mean it's only Doyoung" and just before you could knock you heard someone behind you clear their throat." Just Doyoung?" He said with a smirk. "Ah Doyoung", you said extremely flustered,trying to hide your face behind your books. He just giggled putting an arm around your shoulder leading you you in.

Inside of the dorm was Johnny and Yuta. They were smartly dressed. "Woah. Where are you two going?" You asked. "We both have dates", Yuta replied. You weren't shocked to be honest. They were two of the most hottest guys in the whole university. How could they not have dates. "Okay you two have fun" Doyoung said trying to give them the signal to leave. "What are the both of you gonna do while we're gone?", Johnny asked smiling. "Were gonna study. I need to get my grades up" you said sadly.  Yuta and Johnny just gave each other looks and finally left.

"Lets eat something before we study. I haven't eaten all day", Doyoung suggested. He could see the relief in your face when he brought out some Ramen and just smiled. You two sat and ate. Talking, sharing memories and moments that you guys had. It felt really nice. He made you feel really comfortable. You wanted things to stay like this. "Howcome we've never hung out like this before?", he asked with furrowed eyebrows taking a bite of his food. "I don't know. I guess I was just always so nervous around you" you said avoiding his eyes. "Are you nervous now", he asked. You looked at him in the eyes smiled and replied with a "no". "That's a good thing then. Let's go study now. We can't have you doing bad again now can we", he said with  a smile.

You guys sat in his room studying for hours. You were going out of your mind. "Lets rest", he suggested. You gave him a grateful nod and laid your head on his table. "Thank you Doyoung. I really appreciate you trying to help me". "Hey hey. No need for a thanks. That's what I'm here for". He said with a sweet smile.

You decided to pack your stuff up and get ready to leave when you caught Doyoung staring at you. "Y/n", he asked a bit to seriously. You got a bit scared thinking you might have done something. "Can I kiss you?", he asked which took you completely of guard. You didn't know whether you heard right or not and just sat there gaping at him for a few seconds. Until life came back to you "woah haha. You don't need my permission to do that" you sheepishly said to him.

He placed his hand on your cheek closed his eyes and kissed you. Your eyes fluttering shut as you deepened the kiss taking him by surprise. He pulled back needing some air then pulled you onto his lap kissing you again. You felt his member poking you down there and started moving on it. The friction between the both of you caused Doyoung to throw his head back moaning. You began kissing his neck and started to unbutton his pants.

He stood up lifting you up and gently placed you on the bed. He smiled at you removing your cloths. Doyoung saw how shy you were trying to cover yourself up and just giggled and said "Your so gorgeous". You blushed and kissed him removing his cloths. He was hovering over you and asked for your permission before inserting himself into you. You moaned his name and that turned him on even more. "Your so tight baby" he said while kissing you. He waited a while before he started moving. He started picking up the pace and you felt so much pleasure you couldn't even think straight. The room was filled with the sounds of moaning. Doyoung could feel his high coming soon and you could feel yours too. He began thrusting into you at an insane speed and you dug your nails into his back screaming his name as you came on his dick. He pulled out cumming all over your stomach.

Doyoung brought a towel wiping you clean and the both of you just laid their. He was on top of you and had his head in the crook of your neck. You were playing with his hair while he was kissing your neck leaving hickeys. You unintentionally let out a giggle and he lifted his head to look at you. "What's so funny?", He said smiling. "I don't know", you said. "I just never imagined that this would be us. I didn't even know you had feelings for me", you said. Doyoung kissed your lips softly and said,"I've always had feelings for you. I just did a better job at hiding them." You giggled and just looked into his eyes admiring how beautiful he was. "I like this", you said. "Well get used to it baby", he said. "Hey y/n. You better get an A on the upcoming literature paper", he said with a laugh.

The both of you ended up staying like that for a few hours until you had to go back to your dorm.

☆ hawk talk 8/14/23 ☆

so i found out that my school practically treats PDA as The Big Bad Sin™️

like literally in our handbook it says it is NOT tolerated under ANY means

so like

even if i had the courage to hug my friends

i fucking can't

unless the monitors aren't paying attention but like

what if one day i'm like crying in the hallway and my bestie sees me and wants to give me a hug

but like they can't 0_0

and vice-versa

FUCK

okie. anyway.

lanie is out of town visiting family :(

BUT I STILL GOT TO EAT LUNCH WITH SOMEONE

and if you've been following along, you would know the person i ate lunch with is Delgado

✨️✨️✨️

we'll go back to that in a sec, i promise (highlight of my day)

so since it was an odd day i went to history & geo first

so we get there and we have a debate on whether school should start earlier/same time or later

and i of course backed up my reasoning with evidence unlike everyone else

they're all dumbasses

and the sleezy hoebags behind me started trying to fuck with my hair

but then i hit one of them <3

so then mr. m had us go over the fire drill and where to go in case of smth happening during his period

so we went outside and lined up where we would in case of an emergency

and then the desk buddy bitch asked for the answers to a quiz and i gave her the wrong ones <3

so then that was it for history & geo

andddd it turns out that delgado passes the math room on his way to his next period so i have to make sure i don't look like utter shit BEFORE MATH TOO

i felt bad tho bc i almost hit him 😭😭

so when i was walking towards the math room my back was turned to him so i obvi didn't know it was him when he tapped me on the shoulder

and it scared the crap outta me cus the recent school day (last friday) some dick did that to me and i hit him

and i thought it was the same guy

but it wasn't, it was delgado <3

and he just wanted to make sure we were still good for lunch and this is how the convo went:

d: *taps my shoulder* hey so lunch today, right?

me: *puts fist down after i realized it was him* yeah!

d: oh and also what do you have for first period?

me: [insert history & geo teacher's name]

d: oh cool. where you going next?

me: math with Mr. H. right here *points at door*

d: *groans* i just came back from math. that's my first fucking period 🙄

me: *laughs* ahh it's my 2nd. well, technically 3&4 but ykwim (if you need me to explain the schedules lmk)

d: Okay well i gtg

me: yeah me too, see you in like an hour or some shit *smiles and waves*

d: *smiles and waves back*

sooooo

then math

these bitches at my table

are fucking horrible

i'm trying to do a placement exam

and they keep talking

like BITCH I DID NOT MAKE IT TO AN ACCELERATED CLASS JUST FOR Y'ALL TO BE THE REASON WHY I FAILED

TAKE YOUR ASSES AND CHEAT ON THE EXAM SOMEWHERE ELSE HOES

I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR BULLSHIT

"wElL Mr H sAiD wE CaN tAlK" "We ArEnT eVeN bEiNg LoUd"

SHUT THE FUCK UP

HE SAID WE CAN TALK ABOIT MATH AND UR LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT YO UGLY ASS FACE

so that was fun.

oh and also Mr. H (the teacher) draws so we can like give him a photo and he'll draw like the outline and give it back to us to color and then hang it up in the room!! so i'm gonna ask him if he can draw Stitch or smth so i can color it and hang it in the classroom!

yk if i remember lol

oh and like towards the end of class i went to the bathroom to fix myself up a little bit™️ bc on odd days i have

✨️english class✨️

after math <3

so i put on my favorite lipstick and tamed my hair a bit more and just made sure my clothes looked alright and shit lol

i also cleaned up my boots too while i was at it <3

i love my boots so much

i want moreee

like

actually i don't want more

i NEED more

if i had the money, i would be a doc martens addict and i'd have hundreds of pairs

but alas

bitches are expensive

*sads*

okeu anywayy

i get back to class and these hoes are still talking about the girliest shit ever i literally was going to kill myself if i had to listen to anymore of it

so then we started packing up and then we left

AND THENNNN

ENGLISH CLASS TIME

so we all lined up outside the door bc the teacher wasn't in yet (Mrs. K)

and i tried to stand next to him (delgado) but this bitch got in line RIGHT before me so she was in-between us :/

but thats alr cus he sorts slowed down in line and i caught up so we walked in the room around the same time

and i was wearing a shirt with a Mexican food place and Mrs. K was like "oh my gosh that's my favorite Mexican restaurant in [insert location]!!" and i was like "yeah its pretty good. well, for white people cooking the food. the only real Mexican food you get is from Mexico, or your mamás kitchen" and delgado looked at me like he knew lol so that's when he sorta started catching on that I'm Mexican too

it's nice not to have to tell someone about my ethnicity for once and them figuring it out on their own

so yeah <3

and we had to finish these state mandated tests bc we got only like halfway done on friday

so me and delgado were writing each other notes and doodles to help keep ourselves awake and not fall asleep during that godforsaken fucking test 😭😭

so after we got done (we finished our tests around the same time lol) Mrs. K let us kinds do our own thing as long as we weren't disruptive

so i read DPS and he was playing some game on his Chromebook

and it was so funny bc he had his chromebook on mute but you can tell when he lost and stuff bc he would make a fist and be like "noooo" really quietly

idk

it was funny to me, at least

and there was someone's alarm going off and it sounded like the beep a bomb makes before it goes off

and ofc my mind immediately went to JD <3

and then me, delgado, baseball guy, and d's short bestie all looked at each other like "you hear that 👀"

and then me and delgado crossed ourselves and said "el padre, el hijo y el espíritu santo" but he said it in english lol

and like he's so sweet

so not only did he double check we were still eating lunch together in the hallway but he also asked again at the end of english class

ik it may not seem like anything to you but it means a lot to me

bc i'm always the one to make sure plans are still plans and i feel annoying for asking so many times and that i'm bothering the other person and it just feels nice to have someone else take the time to ask, yk?

so it also turns out our lockers aren't that far away from each other's so even though he's English Class Crush™️ he also qualifies as Hallway Crush™️

speaking of hallway crushes

yk Luca? his locker and also Mikey's (Michael, but we all call him Mikey) lockers are close-ish to mine

so yeah that's great/sarc

it is, in fact, not great.

BECAUSE THAT MEANS I CANNOT RISK LOOKING LIKE SHIT IN THE MORNING

i mean i make sure i always look somewhat good before i leave the house

BUT STILL

anyway

we go to lunch and his friend Alex comes along and im like ooo cool i get to meet his friend

and i sat down and saved us some seats while they went to get the food from the lunch people

so when they come and sit down i was hoping that i would sit next to delgado bc that was the whole fucking point of eating lunch with him

but Alex sits his ass right in between us

but like ig Alex is a protective friend or smth?? idk but like yeah i didn't take offense or anything bc id be the same way

we were stil able to talk tho <3

and anyway they come and sit down and the lunch for the 14th was grilled cheese

but lemme tell you

that, was in fact, not grilled cheese

it looked like two soggy pieces of bread with orange food coloring in the middle

that cheese? was NOT cheese

and i was like oh hell nah no way is Boy Bestie™️ eating whatever the fuck that government looking waste was

so i was like dude have what you want out of my lunch, there's no way you're eating that on my watch

and i was like hey Alex you can go ahead and eat my lunch too

so Alex took the dragonfruit and smth else i think

and delgado had the tortillas mi mamá packed for me

again, i wasn't hungry at all because i had thrown up earlier but i forced myself to eat something before i passed out

oh and forgot to mention

delgado fr said "AYYY MEXICAN STYLEEE" bc i had the tortillas wrapped up in tinfoil and some chorizo con papas y huevos and i was like "HELL YEAHHH"

idk if the white people understand this or not but like this was a bonding moment for us bc there aren't a whole lot of mexicans at our school

so like to see that we're apart of the same culture is really nice

oh and he was also like "my mom makes that like every morning!" and i was like "my mom made it yesterday and decided to pack me some for lunch!"

i would've given him like a fist bump or smth but i wasn't gon put my arm across Alex to get to delgado cus like

just no

so anyway sometime in the middle of lunch i was eating my food and then

poof

woosh

*shimmery sound effects*

THEY'RE GONE

I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN BUT THESE BITCHES JUST VANISHED

SO THEN I WAS LIKE NO NO NO I'M GONNA HAVE TO BE ALONE FOR THE NEXT 20 MINUTES WHYYY

but i didn't wanna move and go look for them bc not only are we not allowed to i also thought maybe they just needed to go the the bathroom

so i just sat there looking like a kicked puppy with sad eyes because i'm not fucking tall enough to look for them in the crowd of gross teenagers

so i just sit there and text my friend because when i lose my friends (and this has happened since elementary) i get really aggressive bc i get overstimed so yk i texted my friend to calm myself down

anyway

lunch over

i get my shit from my locker and head to gym

we go over where we will sit for attendance

and then we go over fire drill procedures and shit

and then we spend most of our time doing jackshit

and like the last 20 minutes of class coach was like okay you can play basketball with the boys orstand around idrc bc we only have a little but till the end of the day

so i channeled my inner white girl and just watched delgado play basketball

and like he's one of the only guys who actually knows how to fuckin play 😭😭

also this one kid got hit in the back of the head and fell straight forward and on his face like a looney tunes character

comedic gold right there

and at the end of phys ed me and delgado were walking the same direction bc our lockers are near each other's and it looks like we're gonna have lunch again on Wednesday since that's the next time i have 3rd lunch <3

so yeah i hope i was midly entertaining

it's 1:36am and i gotta get up at 6:30am so goodnight and sorry for not Finnishing this earlier, i got caught up in something

2nd Anniversary Event — Ignite A Noise

Que my skeleton rising from the grave just to dance to Ego because it slaps way too hard 😂

Anyway, I decided to take a break from my mind numbing grind in Granblue since I already finished Proving Grounds + I don't feel like fully grinding out for gems in Enstars yet (even though I should because I have dire needs for the upcoming puka puka)

I mean ANYWAYS Chapters 1-5 under the cut :D

-Ignite A Noise-

Thanks to Haseyama, Starless hastily reopened to celebrate its second anniversary before the full restoration of the shop. Each team received a stage script with five interpretations from one original text. 

Chapter 1 Cast: Kei, Kokuyo, Rindou, Mokuren, Mizuki, MC 

MC  (Today they’re going to be talking about the 2nd Anniversary Performance...)    Unei  Good work, everyone.  Today, we’ll be having an important conversation about the 2nd Anniversary performance-    Haseyama  Quit blabbering, Unei. Time is golden after all.  Oi, Kei. You’ve got the new song, so I’ll leave the 2nd Anniversary up to you.    Kokuyo  Why the hell does he know about it?    Haseyama  I’m the owner, aren’t I? There’s nothing I don’t know about my own shop.    Kei  Fine. A 2nd Anniversary show from the beginning. There’s no reason to spare.    Haseyama  Oh, since it is the 2nd Anniversary, I’ll be laying down some rules.  Even though it’s a celebration, it won’t be much different from usual. The customers should be happy when watching the show.  With that in mind, here are the 3 rules.  First: The shows during this period should only be about the 2nd Anniversary. However, you will all decide what to do.    Rindou  So we’re allowed to choose the program?    Haseyama  That’s right. After a bit of discussion, it was decided...Surely you can understand that, don’t you?  Second: Repeated performances and cast members are prohibited.    Mizuki  Huh? The hell do you mean?    Haseyama  Don’t do the same performance twice in a row. The same goes to the cast members.    Mokuren  That’s a pain. Why is there such a rule? (read: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T DANCE ON STAGE FOR THE WHOLE DAY?)    Haseyama  I’ve been receiving all of your selfish requests. Don’t keep using the same cast members, you’ll die from overworking.  In other words, this is the management looking out for you brats. You better be thankful.  Now, for the last one. Rule 3.  The cast members who get to perform on stage will be decided by this little lady. Really simple, isn’t it?    MC  H-huh!? I- I get to choose?    Haseyama  Yes, yes. You just need to tell daddy dearest. You don’t have to worry about the teams. (Don’t call yourself my daddy get out BLEGH)  It can be based on your favourite, or who seems to make the most profits. I’ll leave that decision up to you.    Mokuren  ...Are you alright with that, Kei?    Kei  If that’s the case, all we can do is bear with it.  After all, this store is hers. Whoever she picks to be up on the stage will never be wrong.    Mizuki  Oi, MC. You know what to do, right? Pick everyone from Team B.    Rindou  Mizuki. Don’t pressure her.    Haseyama  Oi. If there’s any disagreements, take that outside.  This is all I have to say. All of you just have to do it or die trying, got it?    Unei  And without further ado, everyone, I hope everyone is able to prepare for the 2nd Anniversary performance well!  Oh, that’s right. Kei-san, when do you plan on giving Yakou-san his Team K stage outfit?  (everyone in visible shock)  Haseyama  ...Hah? Yakou?    Kokuyo  Oi, Kei. The hell is he talking about?    Rindou  Yakou is coming back? And..he’s returning as a member of Team K?    Kei  …(sigh) My head’s in a daze right now...  This wasn’t my doing. And speaking of K, this matter doesn’t involve the rest of you.  Unei, I’ll talk to you later about the finer details.    Unei  Huh? Me? Why do you need to talk to me...?  Yakou will be returning for the 2nd Anniversary Performance. If there isn’t 25 people, the cast members will not be enough, right?    Kokuyo  You know, this talk is going way too fast. Is there any idiot who would come back after leaving?    Haseyama  Unei. If you’re done here, go back to work. You’re not coming back here until you find out what the hell is going on.    Unei  H-huh!? 

Chapter 2  Cast: Zakuro, Mokuren, Kokuyo, Mizuki, Kei, Rindou    --A few days ago.    Zakuro  Oh my, oh my. All the tops of each team. I pray you forgive my impudence.    Mokuren  Talking pretentiously is fine. Just hurry up and get to the point.    Zakuro  Oya oya, such ridiculousness. The foundations for human relationships is not limited to labor, is it not?     Kokuyo  Sorry. I’m not good at exchanging words, so will my fists do instead?    Zakuro  Terrifying, as expected of Team W’s top. Even in such a place, your savagery is outstanding.  However, I do not wish to have my face shape changed. Without further ado, let’s begin, shall we?  This is regarding the 2nd anniversary celebration of Mr. And Mrs. Miki’s Starless.    Rindou  This is...a screenplay and recording?    Zakuro  Yes, it would be wise to hand these over to your respective teams. This is all for the 2nd anniversary.    Kokuyo  Hah....why the hell do I have to bother giving it to them.    Mokuren  I agree.    Mizuki  Oi. Where’s Team B’s recording?    Zakuro  Surely if we present the script, Heath will be ready to make one, yes?    Mizuki  ‘f course! It’s ‘cuz Heath is amazing after all.    Kei  Dostoevsky? And it seems the source for all these is “The Brothers Karamazov.”    Zakuro  Correct. All five screenplays were derived from the same source material.  A grand play about the Karamazov clan’s feast. Different truths from different viewpoints, a commonplace theme in our world.  Well then, this is all the wisdom the heavens have deigned to grace me with.  The rest is up to our outstanding tops. Please guide us well.    Mokuren  Tch. You speak too much.    Haseyama  Hnn...I see. 

Chapter 3  Cast: Akira, Maica, Heath    Akira  Hey, did you guys hear about the rules for the 2nd Anniversary?    Maica  Wasn’t it something like “If you perform once, take a break once,” or something?    Akira  Yeah, yeah. That one.    Maica  I’m pretty sure there were other rules too.    Heath  MC chooses who gets to go up the stage, and the performance will be decided by those cast members who were chosen.    Maica  Ah, that’s right.    Akira  So let’s say, I was put into a team with everyone from K, I wonder...?    Maica  What of it?    Akira  I’m from Team W after all, so my original performance should be “GOLGODA.”    Maica  That’s right.  And I’m with Team P’s “Only seek you.”    Heath  B’s is “Venom.”    Akira  So what happens if I’m put in with the Team K members? What’ll happen to “GOLGODA”...?    Heath  Well, if it’s going to be a vote of majority, wouldn’t you perform Team K’s “MADNESS JOKER”?    Akira  Right?  So I would have to sing ”MADNESS JOKER.”    Maica  ...But at that point, wouldn’t the other people try to read the room?    Akira  Are the performers going to perform “GOLGODA” even though they aren’t used to it?    Maica  Ah...you have a point.    Akira  Majority vote is scary, ain’t it? There’s power in numbers, Maica.    Heath  Hey, Akira.  In the first place, it’s MC after all.  What kind of performance will it be if there’s no singer or MC?    Akira  Eh? There was such a thing?    Maica  Well, it’s possible...in theory.    Akira  Eh. But...isn’t that bad?    Heath  Maybe it is.    Maica  I’ll talk to MC in a bit. She needs to make sure she includes a singer in her selection.  (Your words can’t stop me I had a team of just all dancers)    Akira  See you later~ Hey, since it’s so important, you’ll have a word in for me, right?    Maica  Like hell I will. 

Chapter 4  Cast: Yakou, Maica, Sinju    Maica  Fuu. I told MC about the singers, but I wonder if it will be okay in the meantime...  ...Hn?  Why are you so deep in thought, Yakou?    Yakou  Ah, Maica.  It’s been a while since I last saw it, but the ceiling sure is huge...    Maica  Well, that big whale made of bones is gone after all.    Sinju  What’s up, you two? What are you talking about?    Yakou  We were just talking about the whale-less ceiling.    Sinju  Ah, the whale. It feels a bit lonely without that there.    Maica  Well, since there’s the risk that it may fall again, this is good for now.    Yakou  I think it’s really lonely without it. After all, you could see it even from the stage.    Sinju  He...ehehe.    Yakou  What the hell. Why are you laughing all of a sudden, that’s gross.    Sinju  Welcome back, Yakou!    Yakou  ...But I didn’t even come back. I’m just here to help.    Sinju  But I heard from Unei that you were going to be in Team K.    Maica  Huh? You’re going to be in Team K?    Yakou  Ah, Unei actually contacted me a while ago. He said Team K was in a pinch, and asked for my help.    Maica  So that’s how it is...So won’t be Ginsei returning to K and Yakou won't return to P?    Yakou  Probably. This is a situation with Starless, so I have no idea either.    Sinju  But now we can be in Starless together again. Even if the teams are different, I’m still happy.    Yakou  What are you talking about, Sinju. This is the most convenient for both teams after all.  I won and you lost. It’ll hard to get revenge if we’re on the same team again.    Sinju  ...Yeah. That’s right.  Next time, for sure, I’ll win! I won’t lost to Yakou again!    Maica  Yes, yes. And that’s as far as you two go. The first thing Sinju needs to do now is to continue cleaning.  And Yakou is only an understudy, right? You don’t have the authority to start a versus.  Climb up the ranks first, then we’ll have that rematch.    Yakou  Right. I was given another chance, so I’ll make sure to work hard in Team K.  But, I’m just an ordinary performer like Kasumi. So, please adjust the shift accordingly.    Sinju  Yep! Once again, let’s both do our best, Yakou!

Chapter 5  Cast: Menou, Hari, Kasumi 

Menou  ..By the way, I just saw Yakou here earlier. Did he come back to Starless?    Hari  No, formally he hasn’t returned yet.  While continuing to work in his day job, he’s volunteering to help perform here at Starless.    Menou  So he’s doing this without getting paid? Why?  (Good question Yakou why the fuck-)    Hari  It may be a conflict with his morning job. There are many places that place a rule that prohibit them from working side jobs.    Menou  That’s irrational.    Hari  Plus, it seems he’s starting here as an understudy for Team K.    Menou  Heh, so he’s not back to Team P?  Why though? It would have been more fun if he came back to us in Team P.    Kasumi  Well, Team P does have Ginsei now, so~  Here are the rest of the vegetables. Menou, weren’t you supposed to be peeling them?    Menou  Well, I am pretty inept after all~  By the way, how is Kasumi able to work as a salaryman while attending the shows?    Kasumi  Eh? What do you mean?    Menou  I mean, wouldn’t you want to play the center role? How would you be able to?     Kasumi  I’m from the mob after all~  Us mobsters have our own roles.    Menou  Hm, you won’t budge, will you?    Hari  Well, I think I understand what Menou is trying to say.  Yakou is very ambitious.   He won’t sit by and just idly stay as an under or 5th place.  Continuing to perform at the top of the stage while working as a salaryman is no problem for him at all.    Kasumi  Ah, I feel a bit embarassed now that you say that.    Menou  Yeah. Amazing~    Hari  He’ll only be suffering from here on out. He’s basically living life between a rock and a hard place from now on.    Menou  Really? If it were me, I’d just let go of my main job without a doubt, I think.    Hari  ...Is that so?    Menou  Since...Wait, no. I need to be peeling the vegetables right now.    Hari  You should at least tell me why you would, since you already started.    Menou  Just because I feel like it. Now, let’s get to work. We can’t open the store without finishing preparations, can’t we?    Kasumi  Menou, you’re peeling it way too hard.

Cyan time :D I’m watching Ranboo

Pre-game

They look so silly /pos

“This is the first MCC in like 12 of them that I’ve been wearing pants” are you wearing pants under the dress sir???

That crown is straight up floating, I know it’s on a headband but it is just not touching his head

Y’all did you know that Ranboo has a show???

Is this Ranboo’s first repeat costume? Or have they not done Rosalina before? He said he bought the costume a couple days ago but I swear he’s been Rosalina before

“‘Men used to go to war’ I could go to war in this, it’s called psychological manipulation”

Do amab people get banned for being shirtless on twitch? I know hot tub streams are a thing so idk

Taylor Swift is an ARG, so true

STOP WITH THE RITTIES I CANT

I WILL GO WATCH OLI INSTEAD, DONT MAKE ME

I am so so SO ready for the Oli and Ranboo chemistry

WHO THE FUNK CALLED OLI TOMMY?!!? I WILL FIGHT YOU /j

Oli is an artist, don’t underestimate him

WHAT THE HELL OLI??????

Ran and Oli looking to Callum for igl and Callum just not even trying because he just knows Tommy’s gonna show up five minutes late with Starbucks and team leader energy

Oli is so out of the loop, Eloise just freaking fed him lies, as she should

I see this team placing between 2nd and 6th in every game, they’re so well rounded

Oli trying to get Ranboo to unlock their true potential and Callum’s just “This is gonna be a really special event” 😭

The way I only just remembered Oli’s reputation as cursebreaker and now I’m ready to actually believe in them winning

Ran and Aimsey barking and meowing at each other 😭

Ranboo is dying

“Considering earlier a week ago we were not discord friends, I now see you as a close one” this is everything I hoped for out of this matchup

More than half expecting tommy to be a no show tbh

How are they going to fit a fourth person into this call, it’s already so much energy and we gotta fit Tommy in here

PEER PRESSURE FOR THE WIN!!

Y’all 😭😭😭

I swear very rarely but this stream got me “wtf”-ing all over the place

“Bark at your therapist” will do, Tom o7

Aqua’s skins are so cool!!!

Tommy banned from mcc, real and true

The screen feels so empty without the vtuber

Grid Runners

BEST GAME TIME!!!

Why does everyone except Ranboo have garbage opinions today, grid runners my beloved

Wish it was later tbh but considering how abysmal these comms are about to be this might be for the best

WHY IS RANBOO DOING A BRITISH ACCENT????

THAT DUNK TANK RUN HOLY CRAP!!!

The way everyone but Ran fell 😭😭😭

Grid is not your worst game, y’all have energy and synergy

*Taking notes* 10th is sick and 3rd is hot

OLI WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO SKIP SANDS???

We skip one of the parkour games or tgttosawaf, right? Right????

Top 3 things most wrong with the world according to Tommyinnit: climate change, men, and elevators

Parkour Warrior

The pkw logo 💕💗💕💗💗💕💗💕💗💕

Highkey thought they played this in the event Tommy and Oli won together but that was the other event Oli won, my bad

No one reacting to Ranboo screaming his lungs out is so real

Why is Tommy like this???

CALLUM MVP!!!

THOSE ARE MY BOIS!!!!!!!

Ran and Callum cheering for each other :(((

They got joint 2nd, I love this team so much you guys

Sands of Time

Tommy: “Tell me what to do” Oli: *tells him what to do* Tommy: “No, f*ck off”

This team’s energy oscillates like nothing else, I swear

A different word puzzle, thank god

Mmmm slippy bees

This is such a frantic sot, I think they’re good they just all sound so urgent it’s stressing me out

No one jailed, is that a first???

Ace Race

Ran pulling a Wilbur and tabbing out to adjust music mid ace race

“I’m losing it” sir, you lost it a while ago

Aimsey popping off!!!

Meltdown

“Who’s leading this? “I’m scared to say this, but I think Oli” CALLUM 😭 that is the most backhanded compliment I’ve ever heard, my goodness

I feel like it’s been so long since I’ve watched meltdown

I don’t know how to commentate meltdown, Al there is to say is that that was insane

Callum last man standing real

This bit is killing me

I’m losing it

Battle Box

“I hate battle box” “HEY, IF YOU GO INTO IT WITH A MINDSET OF HATE YOURE JUST GONNA INDERPERFORM, MAN! OK? YOU HAVE TO GO INTO IT WITH A POSITIVE MINDSET OR ELSE I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” new tiktok audio just dropped, you guys

“Guys I really wanna win 🥺” “Do you? 🤨” the emojis are so necessary, you don’t understand

That round against orange was great

This is not going well lmao

Sky Battle

I believe

Heck yeah

Ran getting three kills!!

I love Ranboo’s skybattles because they never expect anything to go well so when it does he just gets so excited :))

This is exactly how skybattle should look after a round ends, look at that beautiful mess

They’re manifesting that hitw finale so hard, I believe (I also got spoiled but y’know)

Hole in the Wall

I’m just happy to be here, hitw is so fun

Ran top 5, as he should!!

“East, East, f*cking yellow, sorry” “Shut the f*ck up” ah yes, synergy

Everyone yelling at Tommy to shut up when he couldn’t hear them 😂

RAN TOP 5, AS HE SHOULD!!

Oli’s “I’m just- I’m glad you all went with my bit” and Ranboo’s matching the faux emotions: “Of course, man”

“MCC in the 80s was just Scott in his basement playing tetris” there is so much wrong with that statement, including but not limited to A) the 80s were forty years ago, not thirty, B) Scott is neither thirty nor was he alive in the 80s, and C) Tetris was only made in the ‘85 and wasn’t released until ‘87

Dodgebolt

Casually discussing what irl names they think fit Shane better than “Shane” lol

Ayo wait the arena is nonbinary colors :)))

GUMI MY BELOVED <3333

Jimmy!!!! :D

GG, great vibes, great times everyone

I’ll be Back 40 years of The Terminator Radio 4

Hi there I thought I would draw your attention to the above documentary that was broadcast on Radio 4 earlier today not only is the Tolerance celebrating its 25th birthday this year but the original Terminator film is celebrating its 40th birthday this year it was released on October 26th 1984.

The link is from the BBC sounds website you have over a year to listen to it

Tolerance and the Terminator

Why am I talking about Terminator well we almost had a Terminator spoof in the Tolerance film as you can see below first published in the 2nd Part of my Producers comentary blog 

Deleted scene

Tolerance deals with five major issues, one of which is transport. The second deleted scene is one I rather miss, and I wish we had kept it as it would have been funny. In the finished film, we see Robert trying to get to his interview; his taxi has not turned up and he just misses the bus; it is just not his day. The deleted scene would have been a Terminator spoof. Perhaps the scene was excluded because the director felt a bus company would not let us borrow a bus for a few hours! It is a shame as Railtrack let us borrow a train for half a day for the Huddersfield Station sequences later in the film.

Terminator!

Robert falls into one of his day dreams and lifts himself out of the chair and onto the bus. He is now wearing full bike leathers, sun glasses and motorbike boots; the passengers on the bus look terrified!

ROBERT: Town.

Robert hands the driver a ten pound note.

BUS DRIVER (pointing to a sign which says correct change only): Correct change only mate.

Robert leans into the perspex.

ROBERT: 'I’ll be back'

Robert the Terminator steps off the bus; the bus pulls away leaving him standing next to the wheelchair in his normal clothes. According to the shooting schedule if this scene was shot it would have been recorded on the 17th August the same day as the Huddersfield Train station scenes making a long day even longer perhaps another reason why it was cut

The props listed for this deleted scene include full leather gear motorbike boots sunglasses and rather strangely a red eye was Richard planning to have a prosthetic eye made just for this scene ?

If the above radio programme has wetted your appetite to learn more about the original Terminator from 1984 you might also want to watch these documentaries on Youtube

June 1 - June 3

June 1 

 We drove to the American cemetery in Normandy in the morning. It was very sobering and very beautiful.   It is difficult to describe how perfectly it's kept by the  American Graves Commission. There were a lot of people looking at the graves and memorials.   In the afternoon, we drove to Saint Mere Eglise to see the chapel where the American paratrooper got hung up on the steeple during the invasion.   It is a small town, but very dedicated to the American soldiers who liberated it.   They go all out on D-day. There were many jeeps, trucks and other vehicles waiting to join the festivities on June the 6th. There was a big encampment on the edge of town including a field hospital, but we didn’t see a way to go in to visit it.

June 2nd.

 We decided to drive to Mont St Michel to see the massive cathedral there. It was about an hour and 45 minute drive but we'll worth it. We parked and took a horse drawn carriage to the cathedral instead of waiting for the free shuttle thinking it would be quicker. We were wrong. The horses didn't go very fast for the 3 km to the cathedral. It took a little over half an hour and we could have walked it faster than that. Just after entering the city, we met a couple and their children who are stationed at the Ramstein Air Force Base.  We enjoyed the visit and then walked up to the entrance to the monastery. It is supposedly built to honor the archangel Michael who fought the devil and sent him down to hell.  It took hundreds of years to finally complete and it's now be home to some Christians from Jerusalem. It's too magnificent to describe in words and I hope some of the pictures that you see later will help. We headed back to our hotel and stopped off at Bayeux to see the Norman tapestry that is over 70 m long.   It depicts the rise and fall of Harold and the rise of William the Conqueror as king of England. It's very impressive I don't know how many years it took to make.  It's amazing that it has lasted this long because it has been viewed and transferred all over the world including a stint with Napoleon.  It was in the cathedral in Bayeux for over 700 hundred years before moving around.  We decided to have a pizza for dinner, but the restaurant didn't open till 6:45 and we were there at 6:20 PM   We killed some time and got back there at 6:50. The place was starting to fill up and most of the tables were reserved. The waiter said she had a table for us in the back, but we had to leave by 8:45. I told her we could probably finish that pizza in 2 hours with beer included.  We did.   June 3    Our last day in Normandy was going to the beaches of Juno, Sword and Gold.  Juno and Sword beach were resort towns before the war and have reverted to that without a lot of fanfare. There are plenty of reminders of what happened there, but a large British memorial is at Gold Beach.   It has marble columns with all the names, regiments and the ages of the men who died liberating Normandy and Europe.  There were a lot of men between the ages of 18 and 25 on those columns. We stopped at our favorite coffee shop just near our hotel for a last cup of coffee and pastry before we leave. Our favorite waitress for the last 2 days was not there and we got a surly young lady who didn't even try to speak English or smile.  Oh well, c'est la vie.   We're going to try to find a different place for dinner tonight, but there are a few restaurants in this area. Tomorrow morning we drive to Monet's gardens and hope to find some dry weather for a short visit. It started raining about 3 o'clock today and at 4:46 it is still raining.  It's predicted to be raining there around  5 o'clock tomorrow evening. Is it a 3 hour drive so we'll have to get started early in the morning.  We don't have a room at the Inn right now.   That may be a topic of the next post. There will be pictures in the next few days.

I don't know how many miles we have driven here, but we have crisscrossed the roads back and forth and I'm starting to get to know my way around and recognize landmarks fairly easily. The GPS seems to take us a different way even though we're going to the same place.  Maybe we’re a half block away and it takes us on a different country road.  The scenery is beautiful and we've been on some pretty scary one way roads, flanked  by banks or hedgerows.  Oh well, we have  made it so far.

Correction - I misspelled Vincent J. Speranza’s name by putting a “E” in front of the “S”.  I spelled it the way I thought he pronounced it!  My bad.

GOING TO AN ESCAPE ROOM WITH ENHYPEN !

PAIRING: boyfriend!enha x gn!reader. GENRE: established relationship, fluff, crack. WARNINGS: profanity (not that much tho), mentions of death (?). WORD COUNT: 100 - 200 each member.

HEESEUNG:

the two of you were so pumped playing an escape room together for the first time that the other people in line had to calm you guys down (which was trully embarrassing to say the least 🤐🤐)

he was looking at the ranking board filled with pictures of players that had succeeded in the shortest amount of time and he just wanted nothing more than to see both your faces on there

but anyways, we all know how competitive heeseung gets 🕴️

oh boy let me tell you, this guy WAS SPEEDRUNNING IT but not the kind you were thinking

the second the timer had started he was literally SPRINTING AROUND THE ROOM LOOKING FOR CLUES YET COMPLETELY MISSING THEM 🏃‍♂️💨💨💨

while he was busy running around, you were picking up the little details in the room and in no time managed to open a few locks

"y/n look i found– oh 😐😑😐"

HE WAS SULKING PLSSS 😭😭😭

when you noticed him standing from afar staring at you with his arms crossed, you called him to solve this one puzzle you already did

*gasps* "oh no! babe i don't understand how to do this, please help me 😔😔🤥🙏🙏"

he had to bite his lower lip to stop himself from letting out that cocky grin but it got out eventually

"oh it's so easy sweetheart, just put this here and then voila! 😉"

when the two of you escaped you suprisingly got to take a polaroid with him home after ranking 2nd in the records

heeseung was the one who held onto it tho, placing it underneath his clear phonecase for safekeeping <3

JAY:

GOD THIS DUDE

THE ESCAPE ROOM WASN'T EVEN THAT SCARY AND YET EVERYTIME YOU GUYS OPEN A LOCK OR A DOOR HIS FIGHT OR FLIGHT INSTINCTS COME UP 😭😭👊👊

"y/n stay behind me >:(("

"um, babe, you do realize that's just a door right?"

"WE'LL BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY?? THE STAFF COULD'VE PROGRAMMED IT TO GROW LEGS?? 😵🧐🧐"

you knew you shouldn't have played horror games with him a few nights ago cause he looked like he was about to lose his mind 😔

you had to shove his ass aside and move on to the next mission cause the both of you knew that he was stalling 🏌️‍♀️

jay was being extra clingy the whole time you were playing, he'd either link arms with you or hold hands (he's literally so adorable) 💞💞

BUT THEN YOU THOUGHT OF DOING A PRANK ON HIM

while you were roaming around the room trying to solve a puzzle, you saw this horse mask on a nearby table

and so you made sure jay was distracted and put on the mask

you could've NOT worn the dusty old thing but where was the fun in that?

"jay can you come here for a sec?"

you hid behind the wall beside the door frame waiting for him to come into your sight and attacked him

now, how about we guess what happens next?

a. he faints

b. he runs away

or c. he slaps you in the face and forces you to buy him food for the rest of the night

if you guessed c then YAY! YOU'RE CORRECT 🥳🎉🎉🎊

THIS HOE SLAPS YOU AS HE SHOULD

"$##/@+(+'£%(:?!!)&£**/*%@"

when he finally takes off the mask like those scenes in scooby doo he's never felt so betrayed in his life

"i- I TRUSTED YOU 😭😭😭 YOU BETTER BUY ME FOOD LATER, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, THE BETRAYAL???? LITERALLY UNPROVOKED?????"

he wouldn't stop side eyeing you until you guys finally pulled up on the mcdonalds drive thru

"hi, can i get two um– bts meals please? 😒😒 and two oreo mc flurries 🙄🙄 and also large fries 😐😐"

sane (1/3)

would be trailing behind you like a little puppy (i love him so much 😭😭😭)

he either has his arm linked with yours or held hands every five minutes

JAKE:

really focused on the puzzles he's doing but the second he hears you call out his name for help he's there beside you with the sweetest smile

but anyways, mans was POPPING OFF the entire time you were playing

he was solving problem after problem in no time (he wanted to impress you is why he activated his inner flash ⚡⚡) but he did let you play tho, the last thing he wanted to do was make you pissed at him for hogging all the games

def buried jake with compliments and forehead kisses right after ❤️__❤️

and so the two of you got out in like an hour and a few which you were very proud of

"you were so cool today babe, good job !!"

"aww thank you angel 😊😊"

sane (2/3)

SUNGHOON:

would be linking pinkies with you the whole time, only letting go whenever the both of you had to solve something that needed two or more people

there was this one game tho where he had to arm wrestle this literal hand lever to open the door to the last room (yea...don’t ask why, the staffs were pretty weird 😬😬) 

it made him enjoy the experience a bit more as it was only the two of you playing instead of getting accompanied by strangers

HGAWAHSGDHSGHDA PLSS THIS GUY

“oh this’ll be easy, y/n step aside, i’ll handle this 😏😏😏”

idk if you were supposed to think about how handsome he looked with his serious expression on and his veiny hands coming into frame or be worried for him because the lever was REAL HARD to pull that his veins looked like they were going to pop any second soon, you stepped in and helped him tho cause you were a good s/o <3

from a spectators point of view, the two of you looked like y’all were about shit your pants but the two of you eventually succeeded on beating it, immediately dragging him to the next room which had a sofa in it, laying down to catch your breaths

cliché moment ahead ⚠️⚠️

the two of you shared a few laughs before standing up on the empty space, held hands and started to jump in circles to celebrate your success 💃💃

yupp, y’all were never going back to that hellhole again

very stubborn at first, he wanted nothing to do with the game but then you held him at gunpoint by saying:

SUNOO:

"please just this once or else i'll revoke your mint choco ice cream rights 🔫🔫🔫"

"BUT IT'S SCARY IN THERE BABE :((("

"it won't be that scary sunshine, besides, i'll be ready to 🤜💥 yk?? trust me babe i would never let anyone hurt you <33"

kinda pissed since you blackmailed him into the place and also bc he wanted to play bumper cars and dance mania but he yea he caved in pretty quick 😋😋

(y/n let him play his games in peace tf >:(((( )

once you guys got in tho he realized how normal it was and that it was not terrifying at all

THE EPITOME OF CLINGY OMFG

he wouldn't stop back hugging you and you couldn't bring yourself to push him away to play the games so you just let him walk behind you with his arms on your shoulders 😩😩

(y'all were walking kinda funny but don't tell sunoo that 🤫🤫🤫)

yea the two of you ended up escaping with a whopping 2 hours and a few minutes

but it was the effort that counts so A+++++ for the both if you 😜👍👍👍

sane (3/3)

JUNGWON:

was the one who suggested going, he even searched on naver about really good escape room places to visit and was overall really looking forward it

he liked going to places and having fun with you so it wasn't a shock how his eyes were literally crescents and his dimples were so evident

yea he literally rushed the both of you to the place that you were the first in line 😵

while waiting for the staff to finish setting up he was playing with your connected hands like 🖐️✊🖐️✊ (so precious 💞💞)

"y/n why are you taking so long 😭😭 what if they close and we end up not solving a single lock, hurry up por favorrr 😩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏"

when they finally lead you to the room he was kind of surprised that they had separated the two of you into different spaces (like the one with txt where they had the answers to the other member's puzzles yk???)

he was locked inside a telephone stand while you were handcuffed in the main room

dw the two of you reunited after a few minutes cause jungwon was rushing his lock to get to you 🤭

you both were progressing at an average pace and it made you guys a lot more closer (not that you guys weren't before but you get what i mean)

after you guys escaped the two of you went to eat curry and talked about the whole experience 😋✌️✌️✌️

this boy literally dragged you in the escape room with him

NIKI:

HE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE YOU TIME TO REFUSE HE JUST 😐👉🚪

"ok masterchefs, in order to test your abilities we must go through series of puzzles and make it out alive, understood?"

he tried ignoring how confused you were and went on to try and get you guys to escape

HE'S LAUGHING AT YOU FOR WHATEVER REASON AND OBV YOU LAUGH ASWELL CAUSE WHO WOULDN'T??? his laugh is so contagious pls 🤖🤖 he was so close to d wording cause he couldn't breathe from laughing too much

yea.. you guys spent so much time laughing at each other for being so dumb at this that you ended up playing 'till closing time

spoiler alert: he fails on doing anything cause the second you made eye contact with him this child collapses 😍🤩

GIRL SO EMBARRASSING 🤡🤡

THE STAFF KICKED THE BOTH OF YOU OUT AND NOW YOU GUYS WERE BANNED FROM THE PLACE ☠️☠️

"haunted house next weekend???"

"BET"

NOTE – god they were WAY funnier in my head but yeah.... i love them so much AND OMFG HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN HEESEUNG’S SELCAS LAST NIGHT???!?@??#?@?!?@ HE’S NOT REAL WTF ⁉️❓❓⁉️

also, idk why BUT EVERY TIME I SAVE A DRAFT the paragraphs get scrambled?? £!?) 6=6) 🤣😂💔💔🤣🤣😂💔 it's so annoying but anyways, ilysm pls stay safe and have a great day <33

Fate and Phantasms #198

Happy New Year! (If it is not new years, please disregard.) Today we're crossing into the 2020 servants; hopefully this build makes that clear.

Today we're building Katsushika Hokusai, the daughter/fatheroctopus painter duo, most famous for... waves? And also making a deal with Cthulhu. We're grabbing some levels in Creation Bard for the former, and Hexblade Warlock for the latter. Don't worry, it'll make sense as we go.

Check out their build breakdown below the cut, or their character sheet over here!

Next up:

Race and Background

Oui is a Human. Her dad's an octopus, which is weird, but we'll deal with that later. Also, we're making her a variant human for cool stuff. She gets +1 Wisdom and Charisma, as well as Animal Handling proficiency to get along with her parents and the Magic Initiate feat, which uses her Wisdom to cast druid spells. Since magical paintbrushes aren't an official weapon in D&D 5e, we'll call it a quarterstaff instead, which means you can use Shillelagh to make it fancy and magical for the duration. It also turns the damage die into a d8, deals magical damage, and uses your wisdom instead of strength to hit things and deal damage. You also get Frostbite to splash cold water on people, and Protection from Evil and Good. You can cast that last one once a day for free, and it'll protect you against aberrations (plus celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead) for ten minutes with concentration. They'll have disadvantage to hit you, and they cant' charm, frighten, or possess you, and any existing effects of that ilk you can shake off with advantage. No spoilers, but that'll come in handy soon enough.

You also get the Guild Artisan background, because you paint for money. That gives you Insight and Persuasion proficiency.

Ability Scores

Make your Charisma as high as possible. You paint good, and you have the mental fortitude to keep an elder god from yeeting your soul from your body. Good job. Second highest is Dexterity, painting lifesized waves in the air around you doesn't actually need all the backflips, you just like to show off. Your Wisdom is also pretty good, it's hard to paint things you can't see well, and again that whole "mental fortitude" thing. Your Constitution is pretty good, you handle all-nighters pretty well. That means your Strength isn't great, but we're dumping Intelligence. You're kind of a hick, after all. Plus, really? Swordbeauties?

Class Levels

Bard 1: You weren't born with the squid powers, so we'll grab those up a bit later. Right now you're just a plucky young artist with a dream. As a bard, you get proficiency with Dexterity and Charisma saves, as well as three skills of your choice. Performance and Nature will help you paint nature, and Arcana will help you find the squid guy in the first place. You get Bardic Inspiration, Charisma Modifier d6s per long rest, and you can give one to your allies to boost one attack, check, or save by however much they roll. Nothing like some tasteful nudes to get the spirits up. You also get Spells that you can cast using your Charisma. Friends makes it easier to pass charisma checks against a creature for a minute, but they'll know you magicked them afterwards. Thankfully, getting paid doesn't take that long. Minor Illusion helps you bring your paintings to life, but just a little bit. It'll create a still object or sound that lasts for up to a minute. Creatures can tell it's an illusion with an investigation check, or by touching it. You also get Animal Friendship- your dad can be hard to get along with. Color Spray weaponizes your paints to blind creatures in the area, and Illusory Script lets you write one thing, but really write another. I'm sure you can argue this should count for paintings as well. Oh, you also get Dissonant Whispers. You're a Foreigner, you can be a little creepy if ya wanna.

Bard 2: Second level bards become a Jack of All Trades, adding half their proficiency to skill checks they aren't proficient in. You're an anime character, it's an unwritten rule you should be good at everything. You also get a Song of Rest, adding a d6 to healing your party does over a short rest. On top of that, your bardic inspiration becomes Magical Inspiration, letting your allies add it to the damage or healing of a spell. Finally, grab the spell Silent Image for moving images, so now you can paint birds and/or waves and have them look just like the real thing. Now, third level of bard is where things start getting funky, so before we can do that, let's make a deal.

Warlock 1: Bouncing over to warlock lets you become a Hexblade, which sounds kind of weird, but there's a reason for that. You don't do weird mind stuff like the GOOlocks, and you don't really use Tentacles like the Fathomlocks. What you do need though, is a fancy magic brush, and a fancy magic octopus. There isn't a familiar-based subclass yet, so we had to go with the weapon-based one, and we'll pick up your dad later. Anyways, starting off as a Hexblade lets you invoke a Hexblade's Curse as a bonus action, dealing your proficiency in extra damage to the cursed creature, crit on 19s, and heal yourself when the cursed creature dies. The curse lasts 1 minute, and you can use this once per short rest. Hokusai also become a Hex Warrior, turning one non-two-handed weapon into a special weapon at the end of a long rest. Now your brush uses your Charisma to attack, nice. Unfortunately, this doesn't include magical damage, but you can stack this with Shillelagh if you really need to. You also get another set of spells with your Pact Magic. These slots recharge on short rests, and it means your multiclassing doesn't mix slots like most spellcasting classes would. You can still use one kind of slot to cast the other kind of spells though. Speaking of spells, grab Eldritch Blast for some paint splashes, and Mage Hand for a pseudo-octopus that'll grab things for you. Cause Fear lets you paint a really creepy thing one target can see, forcing a wisdom save and scaring them if they fail. Arms of Hadar will give you a little bit of tentacles, as a treat. They'll force a strength save on creatures near you, dealing necrotic damage and making them too gooey to take reactions.

Warlock 2: Second level warlocks get Eldritch Invocations, mini-feats to help you cope with only having two spell slots. Grab Armor of Shadows for free Mage Armor on yourself at will. Your family is your armor, and I mean that literally. Stop wearing your dad, it's creepy. You also get a second one, but we're saving that for the next level. Don't not take one now though, I'm just saying it won't matter in the long run.

Bard 3: Now that your pact is sealed, we can get the real living paintings going. If you're thinking 'bout an inking feel free to shuffle levels around, I just want to hit Font of Inspiration quickly. As a Creation bard, Hokusai gets an Inkling of Potential, adding extra effects to her bardic inspiration. Ability checks let the user roll twice, attack rolls deal extra thunder damage, and saving throws add temporary HP to the user. She can also enact the Performance of Creation, creating a nonmagical item nearby. Currently it must cost less than 20 times your bard level, and it has to be medium or smaller. You can do this once per long rest, or by spending a 2nd level slot, but doing so destroys the first object if it still exists. Right now this only makes medium objects, but a 5' wave of water is nothing to sneeze at. You also get Expertise in two skills, doubling your proficiency them. Pick up Insight and Performance for the ultimate style-copying skills. Finally, you get second level spells. We can't focus too much on non-charisma abilities, but this'll give you a leg up on seeing the true nature of things. It gives you advantage on any one kind of ability check for up to a minute.

Bard 4: Use your first Ability Score Improvement to bump up your Charisma. Now you have more inspiration, better spells, and a bigger brush. Charisma's good, you'll like charisma. You can also paint Dancing Lights and a Phantasmal Force now. The former lights up an area, the latter creates a phantasmal creature or object that only one creature can see for up to a minute. It can break the illusion with an Investigation check, but until then it treats the thing as completely real, rationalizing away inconsistencies. It also can take a bit of psychic damage if the illusion would cause harm within 5' of itself.

Bard 5: Fifth level bards become a Font of Inspiration like we talked about earlier, giving you inspiration recharges on short rests instead of long ones. Your inspiration also jumps to d8s. Finally, grab Major Image for more major illusions than minor image. It creates an object up to 20' on each side, and includes effects like sound, smell, and temperature, as long as they wouldn't deal damage. You can also move the illusion using your action. Same rules apply to breaking it though- investigation check or just touching it.

Warlock 3: Finally back in warlock, you get your pact boon, and the Pact of the Chain gives you Find Familiar as a ritual, and you can skip your own attack to attack with your familiar. Wildly enough, Octopus is already a rules as written option for Find Familiar. Awkward point; octopi can only be out of water for 30 minutes. Good luck with that! On top of that, Mirror Image lets you paint duplicates of yourself, making it harder to hit you. Boom, evade skill achieved. You get three extra copies, and every time you get hit, there's only a 25% chance of actually hitting the real one. If an illusion gets hit, it's destroyed, so the odds go up to 33%, then 50%. You also put in the Investment of the Chain Master, giving your dad a flying speed, the ability to attack as a bonus action, magical weapons, your DC for saves, and you can react to give the little bugger resistance to one instance of damage. Literally everyone else's dad is dead already, try not to add one more to the pile. Except for Romani's, but that's sad in its own way.

Warlock 4: Another ASI, max out your Charisma. It's good, you use it for literally everything. For spells, Mind Sliver deals psychic damage an makes the target's next save a bit harder to make. You also get a Crown of Madness, which gives you control over a creature's attack action. Just because you're less spooky than Abby doesn't mean you're not spooky.

Warlock 5: Fifth level warlocks get a new invocation and third level spell. Summon Shadowspawn lets you paint one of three kinds of shadowspawn, creepy little things that can scare people by screaming at them. They'll obey your commands, and it'll last up to an hour, until they hit 0 HP, or you drop concentration. Your last invocation is the Gift of the Depths, letting you breathe underwater and swim as fast as you can walk. Now it's slightly less awkward to carry your dad around, yay. You can also cast Water Breathing for free once per long rest.

Bard 6: Finally back in bard now, sixth level creation bards can put on an Animating Performance, turning a large or smaller item into a Dancing Item with its own stats and everything. You have to use your bonus action to command it in battle, but you can inspire people at the same time. I'm not sure how well animating water would work, but it's something to look into. You also learn how to Countercharm, spending your action to give creatures near you advantage on saves against being charmed or frightened. For something better, grab Intellect Fortress. For up to an hour, you'll resist psychic damage, and you get advantage on all Int, Wis, and Chr saves.

Bard 7: Seventh level bards get fourth level spells, like Hallucinatory Terrain! Now you can paint a landscape- literally! It's only 150' in range, but that's still plenty of space to mess with people. It doesn't really change anything, but forcing people to look at non-euclidean geometry is its own reward.

Bard 8: Another ASI. Bump up your Dex now so you're less likely to get hit, then grab Phantasmal Killer to paint a scary creature that will follow the target around and beat them up. It's a shame only one creature gets to see it.

Bard 9: Ninth level bards get a better song of rest, but more importantly you get fifth level spells. Legend Lore will help you see the true meaning of things more easily, and the more you already know about something the more you'll learn. That's why your Arcana and Nature skills are so high. Oh, wait, sorry, one sec...

Bard 10: And that's why your Arcana and Nature skills are so high... starting now, with another round of Expertise. Your inspiration also jumps to d10s, and you learn Magical Secrets, two spells from any spell list you can cast. On top of that, you get Prestidigitation to paint up small objects. For your secrets, Conjure Animals lets you paint up some real animals that'll attack enemies for you. Alternatively, you can Control Water to make those waves we've been trying to do with way less fuss than a Song of Creation or Animating Performance. It does come with the limit of using existing water, though you can also Part Water, cause a Whirlpool, or Redirect Flow with this one.

Bard 11: Eleventh level bards get a sixth level spell, and True Seeing will help you see All Things in Nature, letting you see through illusions, invisibility and the like.

Bard 12: One last ASI; bump up your Constitution for better concentration and more HP.

Bard 13: Your Song of Rest is a d10 now, and you get a seventh level spell. Prismatic Spray is the return of Color Spray, but it's taken steroids. Now it deals plenty of damage of a random type to each creature in its area, or it has a chance to shove them into another dimension or petrify them.

Bard 14: Your last goody from the college of creation is a Creative Crescendo, allowing you to paint up to your Charisma Modifier in items when you use a Performance of Creation. Only one can be a biggun, the rest have to be small or tiny. Also, your max size is Huge now, and a 15' cube of water will make a pretty big splash. You also get another round of Magical Secrets, grabbing you Conjure Elemental for a more symbolic approach to flooding people, and Wrath of Nature to paint a landscape that'll really fuck with someone. The grass turns land into difficult terrain, the trees will slash at enemies nearby, Roots and vines restrain enemies, and Rocks will throw themselves at enemies, knocking them prone on a failed strength save. It's not mind melting geometries, but it's still mess with people's heads.

Bard 15: Your ultimate level gives you a d12 inspiration die. You also get one last spell, of the eighth level. Feeblemind will handle all the mind melting the last level failed to live up to, forcing an intelligence save and dealing damage regardless. On a failed save, the creature's Intelligence and Charisma drop to 1, and it can't cast spells, use magic items, talk, or understand people. The only ways to fix this are with another Intelligence saving throw (every 30 days) or using Greater Restoration, Heal, or Wish.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Like the regular Hokusai, this build has a great deal of flexibility, with pretty good AC, HP, and physical attack options to get up close and personal, as well as ways to buff allies and attack with spells at a distance.

Speaking of spells, they give you a lot of crowd control options. You can create extra allies with summoning spells and Animating Performance, blow them away with waves from Control Water or Performance of Creation, or keep them tied up with various illusions.

You're also really good at fighting other spellcasters. Spells like Protection from Evil and Good and Intellect Fortress will shore up most of your saves against fancier spells, and you can use Feeblemind to completely shut down anyone who isn't a wizard or artificer.

So piss off your patron and kick the ass of their flunkies, easy! Wait, there's still cons.

Cons:

Okay, so there are some problems with throwing waves all over the place: they're hard to control where exactly they end up. Also, your best wave requires real water, which won't always be available.

On a similar note, you specialize in summons and illusions, both of which tend to require Concentration saves. Yours aren't that great, and on top of that it means you can only have one up at a time. Unless you're cool with an elemental running around willy nilly, but that fits into Con #1.

Your Familiar can only stay on dry land for 30 minutes at a time. If you're going to play this in a landlocked campaign, switch the octopus and last invocation for something else, it'll be a pain otherwise.

Okay, she isn't perfect, just make sure you carry an aquarium with you, problem solved, right?
