CHAPTER 84: Achtung Attitude - Part 2

T’onga gasps. The pressure in her bleeding side suddenly lifts and she collapses to her knees. At last released from LONELY BOY’s power, she murmurs, “Ae-jeong… she…” Still clutching her lacerated side, she tries to stem the flow of her blood. Having already lost so much blood, her head is muddled. She stumbles her way through the mansion’s shattered ruin in search of something to help her. As she goes, someone approaches.

T’onga turns at once, weakly manifesting HOUSE OF PAIN to confront them. But rather than a would-be murderer, she lays eyes on Jerome with his hands in the air. “Whoa, whoa, it’s me! Relax!” he exclaims.

The former assassin blinks. “Wha-? C-King?! What the h- What are you doing here?”

“What am I-? I… I came to help. A-after the house came down, I didn’t know what was going on! I saw that All-Kill dude walkin’ on air n’ shit, and… and-!”

“Hey…” T’onga says.

Jerome continues. “W-When I saw him, I… I aimed my piece at him, but he didn’t…! I wasn’t even worth killing, so…!”

“Hey, listen-”

“But I got him in the end, God damn it!! HA!! I hit that motherfucker with a car!!!”

“C-King!!”

The rapper shudders. “W-what? I… I’m sorry, I don’t-”

“It’s cool,” T’onga says, “I’m actually glad to see you.”

“Y-You are…?”

“Yes,” she grunts, sinking painfully down to sit amidst the rubble. “I need you to give me a hand. I’m hurt pretty bad…” she gestures to her wound. “Actually, I’m bleeding out…”

“Oh…” Jerome utters, noticing the blood for the first time, “Oh, yeah, yeah, right! Anything! You name it!”

Shizuka’s mother raises one finger over her head and waves it in a general direction behind her. “All-Kill kept a first-aid kit in a utility room in that-ish area which should still be intact. It has bandages and iodine. Get it for me. And be fast, please, I am dying.”

Jerome goes pale for an instant, but then his features firm with resolve. “You got it!” With that, he runs off.

T’onga releases a deep sigh. Light-headed from blood loss, she busies herself with picking fragments of dust and drywall out of her hair. Abruptly, she feels something cold nip at her nose and looks sharply to the sky. “What the hell…?”

Pale snowflakes fall from the sky, landing on the rubble and dissolving on contact, covering the ruin in glistening dew. With such a strange and beautiful sight, T’onga forgets her pain for a moment.

But only for a moment. It soon returns, a low, rhythmic throbbing accompanying her brooding thoughts. “So little time… So much still to be done…” she thinks. “The only way I can be free of All-Kill’s power is if All-Kill is dead. My daughter must have won. We’re both… free… That should make me happy… but it doesn’t. All that’s left now… is what has to come next.”

Jerome makes his return right then, carrying the first-aid box under his arm. “That was fast,” T’onga remarks.

“I’m quick when I wanna be,” the rapper answers, laying the kit on the ground and handing her a dark brown bottle out of it. Shizuka’s mother grins at the comment, then hisses in pain as she pours the iodine over her wound. Jerome sits next to her, staring at the ground. “I let Kilo die…” he mutters.

“No you didn’t,” says T’onga. “Bandages.”

He hands them to her and continues as she wraps them around herself. “Yeah, I did. I failed him. I failed Shizuka. And Moya. I couldn’t do anything…”

“You broke us out of Sang-ok’s ability. You hit All-Kill with a car. You got me this stuff. You’ve done plenty.”

“Anybody coulda done that shit… The wolf, he took it. He took that disc outta Kilo’s head. Cause o’ that, that All-Kill dude got wack-ass new powers… I ain’t got a Stand o’ my own, but I can put two and two together… When it mattered, I failed…”

T’onga ties the bandages in a knot, winces, then raises her head to look at the rapper. They sit in silence for some time. “...You need to go,” she says. Jerome’s shoulders immediately sink, his chin touching his chest. “Wait, shit, no. Not like that, I mean… Fuck.” Pulling at her face, she explains, “Listen… We have maybe ten minutes before the cops are all over this place. You can’t be here when that happens. Ae-j- I mean, fuckin’ Shizuka would feel bad if you got in trouble over our mess.”

“But… I-”

“I know, I know. What happened to Kilo was awful, but it’s not up to you to take responsibility for. You’ve already helped so much when you didn’t need to. Let me be clear…” Leaning forward, she eyes him severely. “I wouldn’t have done this in your place. I would have stayed home.” Beginning to shakily stand, she concludes, “You have nothing to be ashamed of.”

The former assassin stumbles as she rises, only to be caught by Jerome. He helps her to her feet. “Thanks…”

“Yeah…”

Awkwardly, Jerome steps back. “So, uh… guess I’d better get outta here… Ey, could you pass on a message to Shizuka?”

“No,” is her blunt reply, looking around at the rubble.

“Huh-?!”

“You’ll see her soon enough. Tell her then.”

“Oh, yeah… Right, I guess…” The rapper pauses suddenly, turning to T’onga’s face. “Wait a minute… I gotta split to avoid the cops, but what about you? What’re you gonna do?”

“I’ll think of something. Stop wasting time and-”

“… you gonna abandon Shizuka again?”

The former assassin turns a glowering gaze the rapper’s way, but he doesn’t flinch. He meets her eyes with firm resolve. “No…” she replies. “Never. Never again.”

Jerome stares at her for a long beat, then swiftly turns to leave. “I’ll tell you now, I ain’t gonna forgive you if you make that girl cry again.” He looks back at her, showing his gold teeth in a grin. “You thought yo’ boss was scary? He ain’t got shit on me!”

T’onga’s eyes go wide, almost bulging from their sockets. After several seconds, she releases a dumbfounded “What…?!” The C-King responds with a two-fingered salute, then trots away before she can say anything further. Once he’s gone, she can’t help herself. Despite the pain in her side, T’onga laughs.

***

A little time passes. On the wind, the sirens approach. Quiet now, but before long, they’ll be upon the mansion and T’onga. The former assassin sits and struggles to write on a sheet of paper. She retrieved it from All-Kill’s hard wood desk in his study, still intact despite having a ceiling dropped on it. Every nearby surface is too rough to effectively write on, so she has to write with the sheet in her hand. Her daughter’s voice cries out and she winces.

“Mom! Mom, where are you?!!”

“Over here…!” T’onga calls, standing and waving. Shizuka scrambles over the rubble, nearly tripping and landing on her face before reaching her.

“Mom! Mom, I did it! I beat him! I… I almost… B-But it’s fine now! I’m OK-!”

“OK, OK, good,” her mother says waving her down, “I can tell you won. Looks like things are just about finished…”

Shizuka blinks, cocking her head in confusion. “Uh… Y-Yeah, I guess they are. So, um… the police are coming… Should we do something about that?”

“Probably…”

“Right…” Neither of the women move. The approaching sirens become louder. “Why aren’t we doing anything?”

“I’m too weak to run, is why. It’s taking all the strength I have just to stand.”

Amongst the rubble of the Mulholland mansion, reality sets in. “...Oh,” says Shizuka. “What do we do now…?”

“You should run. Alone,” her mother advises, “Let me work things out with the boys in blue.”

“No,” retorts the girl, sounding almost offended.

“Yeah, I didn’t think you would…” T’onga smirks, a hand on her hip. “You’re stubborn. Just like your dad. And me too, I guess… Turn around for a second.”

Shizuka looks askance at her mother, suspiciously. “Why?”

T’onga gestures with the sheets of paper in her hand. “I’m trying to write, but I can’t without a surface. Lemme use your back.”

“O…Kay…” the girl relents, turning around and moving her hair out of the way. T’onga presses the papers to her back and writes. After a minute, the pressure from the pencil lifts and Shizuka turns to see her mother folding up the paper. On the folded up sheet, she quickly scribbles a set of blocky Asian characters, then hands it to Shizuka.

“There, done!” the former assassin says, seeming satisfied.

“What is-” Shizuka begins, but gets cut off.

“Oh, one more thing: Moya mentioned something about loaning you a knife. You still have it? Give it to me, please.”

Her frown deeper than ever, the girl fishes for the weapon in her jacket and hands it to her mother, then turns her attention back to the letter. Specifically, the Asian characters on the back.

“What the fuck? Is this a pearl handle?!” complains T’onga, inspecting the knife. “Moya, that bitch! She always had nicer things than me!”

“What is this…?” Shizuka asks, bemusedly gesturing to the folded up paper.

The former assassin looks up. “Oh, that. That’s a letter. Read it later. That-” she taps the blocky characters on the back, “Is Korean. It says ae-jeong. It’s a little presumptuous, but it is technically your mother tongue.”

“My mother t- What does this have to do with anything?” Nearby, the sounds of tires rolling over gravel appear. Red and blue lights flash, and soon, figures approach through the rubble.

“Ae-jeong is you.” T’onga declares, extending her hand to poke Shizuka’s forehead. “It’s the name I gave you.”

All sound vanishes. Nothing exists apart from the two of them. The girl’s eyes bulge. “...What?”

“Gangak insisted I come up with it. I just said the first thing that came to mind. It literally means heart, but in context, it means something more like emotion or feeling. I know it’s sudden, so just keep it on you until you get used to it.”

“I… I don’t understa-” Shizuka begins, but again, she’s cut off. T’onga steps closer and strokes her face with her hand.

With a gentle and deeply sad smile, she murmurs, “No matter what happens, never forget that I’m your mother, and I love you more than anything in the world.”

The girl stares, bewildered. Tears spring to her eyes, blurring her vision so she almost doesn't notice the approach of several boot-clad footsteps. Someone shouts at them to not make any sudden moves and she turns to look in surprise. In that momentary distraction, she sees her mother move, but she’s too slow to react.

how would the dimi sisters react to a zombie apocalypse? im thinking of like the (left 4 dead 2) zombie apocalypse, how would the daughters react to each of the special infected and their abilities? also i really love your stories they get me in such a good mood <333

Hold up, this is gonna be a long one

Bela is gonna be the one who thinks she knows what she’s doing when in reality she’s planning as she goes because she just wants to protect her mother and sister, even if that means throwing herself in stupid positions go save them. One day she was out looking for some food and she came across this weird ass looking zombie, like…why is its tongue nearly touching the ground? The zombie didn’t notice her but it’s coughing and blowing out smoke??? Damn, was it a smoker when he was alive? Bela knew his lungs were as black as tar and instead of engaging and wasting bullets she just makes a wide circle around them but you know homegirl steps on a twig because why not? Great, now that wack zombie is coming towards her but Bela aint no casual. She already has the shotgun ready and BLAM!!!! RIGHT IT ITS FUCKING FACE!!!!! the thing died and a bunch of smoke comes out of it. Ew okay. Bela continues to look for food before it gets too dark.

Cassandra? Lord, this was her moment. You already know that she has something planned and she’s gonna be the one who survives till the end. She’s smart and she’s someone who (unless she’s with her family) would prefer to be alone because she don’t have time to be worrying about someone else like girl why are you crying? Your man died twenty minutes ago it’s time to move on🙄 anyway she was out checking on her snares and why did she find this big ass fucking zombie just chilling near the campsite? Like, this thing was HUGE like bro what have you been eating and why are you being stingey and not tell Cassandra where it’s at???? Bro was as big as a tank and of course it had to see Cassandra. The thing howls and makes it’s way towards her and you know Cassie isn’t gonna back down from a fight. She grabs her flamethrower off her back, steps back and blasts this motherfucker with flames! Andddd….hes walking through it he doesn’t give a fuck about them flames but it’s all cass has! She’s back up cmon the flames gotta be doing SOMETHING!!!! After about thirty seconds the thing falls to the ground, crispy and burning! Haha! That’s Whatchu get for tryna fuck with Cassandra!!!

Daniela is capable of traveling on her own but she’s not someone who wants to be alone, especially not in a situation like this, because what the hell? Why would you wanna be alone during this? But this time her sisters are sick and her mother told her to stay there while she went out to look for some medicine but Bela and Cassandra are getting sicker. She can just watch them die she needs to do something. So she grabs her bow and arrow and goes on her own exploration, checking nearby houses and cars trying to find SOMETHING that’ll help her sisters. Now, Dani isn’t the quietest, she ends up stepping on nearly everything and crunching all kinds of leave like girl cmon you gotta be quiet! She actually gives herself away and suddenly she’s being tackled to the ground by a…WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT!?!?!,! This thing literally charged into her and took her to the ground. Now here’s the thing about Dani: she’s fast and is a quick thinker, she didn’t leave her safe haven unprepared. She’s holding the charger with one hand (yeah she’s strong) and reaching to her waist with the other to unclip a grenade. She pulls the pin with her teeth and shoves the whole thing in its mouth. The thing is confused and Dani uses that split second to push it away and run a safe distance because 3…2…1…the fucker explodes into a million pieces! That’s what the fuck you get!! But now Dani’s gotta hurry because more zombie will come. She checks the nearest car and thank goodness! Medicine!!! She looks and sees that it’s the good shit! Awesome!!! Now let’s get the fuck outta here!!!

I’m glad the little stories put you in a good mood!

#I went overboard with Dani’s oh well #bela dimitrescu #cassandra dimitrescu #daniela dimitrescu #resident evil village

LOL tbh i adore seeing your posts either way! it’s like every time i open tumblr i go “seoafin posted smthn new time for the daily serotonin” :) also yeah... megumi being apprehensive towards adults in general is understandable considering how his own parents abandoned him and all he had left was tsumiki. but BDKDBDKDBDM not rip!mc going “yeah we do sleep together he helps me with my nightmares <3” 😭 megumi is just seething inside like Please Someone Help These Two!!

also gojo is so hornyy omg. he can’t even ask rip!mc out on a date and he’s here thinking about having kids with her??! but yeah that quote has been on my mind since i read it... 🥺 ik gojo’s a little wack but i think he tries in his own way to be understanding towards the kids? some kind of an example would be like in jjk 0 where he tells yuta how love is the most twisted curse of them all (like ok gojo....) IDK i’m kinda just amazed at how akutami like actually portrays that these teenagers are kids that are seeing some really fucked up shit and not ignoring it. i feel like in most stories it’s not really gone over? i feel like it’s just shoved aside and just “oh yeah uh that happened...” it’s just really nice to have rip!mc to be there as like sort of a guide for megumi similar to how nanami is to yuuji!

you're flattering me omg 🥺

god poor megumi like imagine it....your dad's a deadbeat who ran away with his new wife leaving you with a sister you have to take care of. no positive parental/authoritative figures in your life which is why you're so mistrustful. don't even rmb your mother. one day outta the blue this inconsiderate white haired weirdo shows up with a girl and tells you that your dad planned on selling you to his side of the family because of your "innate abilities" and then spends the next several years showing up to your apartment like he owns it and spends all his time flirting with said girl who you actually don't hate half the time and that alone makes you double down. you hate nice people. you hate the both of them. gojo bc he doesn't bother to hide how horrible he is and the girl bc you don't know if she's genuinely being obtuse or pretending, just like she's pretending to care about you and your sister.

Megumi didn't have anyone but tsumiki for who knows how long and it's obvious that he loves her a lot 😭 ALSO YES!! I do think gojo does care for the kids in his own way it's just the way it translates LOL

#ANON PICK AN EMOJI OR SMT WE BE VIBING HERE #I want to wrap everyone up in a blanket #gojo's BEEN THINKING ABT IT!! KIDS WITH RIP!MC I just know he has a breeding kink lmaoooo #ripverse answered #💫 anon #.jjk ask #ask

owldesk · 4 years

Photo

welcome back to the 2020 edition of “liz owldesk guesses the owl power rankings out of nothing!” let’s get started! (as usual, location within the tiers means nothing)

S-Tier -

Atlanta Reign

a great team that has only improved during the offseason.

the editions of edison and sharp plus added time to work together will help this team thrive.

also, all the talent/analysts have been putting atlanta in s-tier and i’m gonna take the risk that they know something we don’t (don’t fuck me, actual owl desk)

San Francisco Shock

this should be obvious. they’re literally the same team that one last year

they’re all still good and are a super flexible team so the hero lock stuff shouldn’t hurt them at all

Hangzhou Spark

pretty much the same team as last year when they came in 4th

hero lock shouldn’t affect them at all

their players are still insane and have had a couple long months to get better

New York Excelsior

idk how others feel about this

their new pickups are super good, even if neither bianca or hotba are quite “meko worthy”

one of the deadliest dps trios in the league (nenne, libero, and whoru) plus the veteran leadership of sbb

jjonak is still good. he may not be the best flex support in the league for certain anymore, but he’s still top 3

the only weakness i see is that they still don’t have a backup main tank for mano. like, c’mon guys. pick up bumper or SOMETHING

A-Tier

Guangzhou Charge

the same team as last year and they made it into the playoffs

have all their players available at the beginning of the season now

SUPER flexible all around, hero lock won’t phase them

they added neptuno, an aggressive support who should fit right in, and wya another great support

London Spitfire

i honestly don’t know how this pick is gonna look in a couple weeks

like yes it’s basically a whole new team

but they players they picked up were all super good (or at least sorta good) korean contenders players

if they’ve built synergy i can see this team going far. OR they’re gonna fall to the bottom of the rankings and this will look stupid. oh well

Shanghai Dragons

super flexible team

their new pickups are GREAT like fleta? void?! izayaki??!! LEEJAEGON!!!!!!!!!???????????

anyways, a good team

Vancouver Titans

maybe i should have put them higher. i love this team sm but like,,,,,,,

i do not see fissure as the main tank going well. i just do not. he’s an amazing main tank but his personality and trying to fit into the prebuilt synergy will be ...interesting

also, side note, i really do not see them ever playing jehong which will be. so sad

still a good team but will have to struggle to the playoffs

B-Tier

LA Gladiators

a really interesting mashup of players

if they get the synergy together they’ll be good and if they don’t i fear for them

PLEASE don’t ever play paintbrush. ever. also, keep birdring healthy and oge from tilting

Paris Eternal

i do not want to put them here. it hurts me to put them here. BUT

in may, sp9rk1e and hanbin will become available to the team. they’re good enough that they can carry any team they’re on to an at least middle of the pack finish. all the rest have to do is keep from fucking it up through the beginning of the season.

that’s why they’re here

Philadelphia Fusion

they have one of the most insane teams EVER like??? fury, alarm, carpe, poko, ivy, etc

so why are they not in a/s tier, you ask? well, i’ll tell you

first up their support line is WACK. either they’re gonna pair alarm, with funnyastro (??????????) or boombox is gonna have to start playing main support. OR alarm is gonna be benched while boombox and funnyastro run around (????????????) it’s just a mess. having two new to owl supports working together OR benching your best support. good luck guys.

second up: chipsa. they have chipsa. enough said

third: THEIR MAIN TANK IS STILL SADO!!!!!!!!!!! whether or not you like sado, you have to accept that he is an average main tank at best. he cannot be the rock on this team of superstars like they need. it’ll be rough.

Florida Mayhem

another kinda weird pick but i believe!!

they got rid of xepher (finally) and have a solid tank line up

they have sayaplayer still AND they got yaki, who’s SUPER good

AND they have gangnamjin, another really good flex support

i believe if they build synergy quick they can go really far

C-Tier

Houston Outlaws

these poor guys have had a rough time and it’s not gonna get any easier

they have, honestly, a really good team. with a few exceptions, they have stars at every spot in their roster

the only problem is that every other team above them in this ranking has the same amount of stars, fewer non-stars, and potentially better synergy

like, look, there are some duos that should be the go-to every time (jecse and rapel over rawkus and boink, for example) but i just don’t put it past this team to ignore that and try to force something that’s really not there

and even if they end up good, i don’t see them (outside of their dps lineup) ever truly becoming great so. c-tier

LA Valiant

their team is nothing. absolutely nothing. looking at this now, i really should have put them lower

i’m just hoping the core of ksf, shax, and mcgravy will keep them from having a terrible season

they’ll win a couple games. probably. maybe.

Chengdu Hunters

exactly the same as last year but without yxl (i feel like there was drama there but i can’t remember)

they have a solid team but hero lock will prevent them from being as surprising as last year

i see them doing pretty well but not spectacularly (same as last year) if there isn’t a breakout performance from a player like yveltal or leave

the edition of leave is very interesting tho. he has the ability to be a star dps........... hm. we’ll see. for now, they stay here

Seoul Dynasty

they DO have profit and gesture now but that’s basically the only two who are gonna have any effect

it really all depends on what the coaches can do, but idk....... wizardheyong proved last year he wasn’t the god everyone thought he was so. we’ll see

i hope they do well and move outta c-tier tho

Toronto Defiant

this team is either gonna be good or REALLY bad

i like all their players. they have talent. it’ll definitely be a meme team

honestly, they even have past synergy between most of them

idk. it could go either way. i hope they’re good, but we’ll see

D-Tier

Dallas Fuel

all their pickups were average to good, but it’s still a dumpster fire of a team. they’re weak in the dps and honestly even in the support

they still have the same head coach. the same org. mostly the same players. a garbage fire of a team

Boston Uprising

much like dallas, they’re still the same system and GM as before. why should this year be any different

a bunch of unknown talent outmatched by all the other teams, a bad coach........ stop me if you’ve heard this one before

so long as huk is still there nothing is gonna change for this team. i feel so bad for them

Washington Justice

their team is too small, not strong enough, and doesn’t have a great coaching staff

like. only 8 players??????? for such a weird league with so much travel?????

elivote and lullish are good but so are all the other tank duos in the league. ark and aimgod are good individually but we don’t know their synergy and their playstyles are v different. corey is very good, but his other two dps partners are only on the average/good scale. the point is this isn’t a great lineup

and there’s WAY TOO FEW OF THEM like JESUS

#just wanted to put my thoughts down #i left this til way too late but #pls talk to me abt these i wanna talk to people #overwatch league #owl #owl power rankings #overwatch #mine

Surprise Game Review: Animal Crossing - New Horizons

As the date for the release of a game about crushing demon skulls and a game about giving sweet gifts to friends came near, I came to a harsh decision...

Well. You know what I picked.

I can’t get over the damn thing.

It’s like cocaine mixed with heroin in a handheld. I can’t just NOT visit my island. What if my islanders got lonely? Phoebe is a nice person, Coco is wild, and cut ol Doc is outta this world. I don’t wanna leave’em alone :c

Animal Crossing at its heart is about taking a break...by doing chores. You are tasked to create a brand new island community through whatever means necessary. Through its time restricted events, real time following, and high level of customobility, this game had me and my player 2 snorkling from the cuteness.

While many games require you to sit down for hours at a time to chip away at achievements, upgrades, and resources, Animal Crossing took a different approach by forcing you to sit down for increments of about an hour every day. With morning announcements from Tom Nook comes the exciting new island features (which update every day 5:00 A.M., your time c:) Fruits grow, fossils spawn in the ground, new stones are spawned, etc. It’s these special times which allow the player to feel the beginning of a brand new day.

While this happens, you could find yourself slowly moving into a routine just as I have - At 5 P.M., wait for P2 to come home and we both watch announcements of the day, celebrating in the announcement of any new buildings or visitors. Then I comb through my island in harvest of all of its fruitful bounties in the form of fossils and...well, fruit. After this I walk to the stones of my island and give them a few good wacks for iron ingots to craft into better equipment for the day and future. Next I will get to speak with some of my islanders! The lovable blue bunny Doc always makes me grin with his assortment of old furniture while Bangle keeps me happy with her goofy Tiger pep. The special interactions you can have with your villagers really made the game for me. Makes me feel homely to watch them use the furniture I set down for a picnic for anyone to use.

After checking in with my friends, I check in at the stores to look at the hot item of the day as well as Turnip prices just in case I invested. I swipe any furniture I see at the store if I am interested and continue to buy a few flimsy tools to merge with my iron ore to create better tools. Next is the grand visit to the ATM machine next to Tom Nook. Passively giving me more currency in the form of *Nook Miles*, I can increase the amount I get each day by visiting it consecutively. This gives me an even stronger reason to just visit once a day.

I won’t spoil anything else in hopes that whoever reads this will perhaps pick up a copy to play! I’m more of an adventure/RPG/horror type of fella, but this game really hit me in the chest. It’s a game that lets me feel free in pursuits of doing whatever I want because it gives me endless options to continue my pursuit of a nice looking island. The way you can interact with the island at different times was an excellent feature. It gave me a reason to wait and play my game till a specific point in the day. It made me excited for the next time I got to play!

I’ve always been into base building games. I have over 700 hours racked up in Terraria on steam (and I still make square houses :C). With that, this purchase was a perfect decision because of its allowance of sheer customization in game. I can change the color of multiple pieces of furniture, I can make my own clothes, hell I can even leave paintings around in display of my art skills! I love being able to create custom designs and give them to friends. I have already made my friends cool little coats with their favorite pokemon on them. I even made one for my favorite pokemon, good ol Bulbasaur!

There are a few items in game that are left to be desired in regards to its multiplayer. With no second island, my PS2 is unable to play on her own island and is forced to use resources from my island or just visit my island. There are also huge issues regarding an overflow of text for online multiplayer which is simply very unneeded for a game in this age. I shouldn’t have to go through 3 minutes of unskippable text talking to a pelican before getting an unskippable cutscene every single time one of my irl friends come to my island. It also restricts my customization abilities because “a visitor is on the island.” Seems very misplaced and jarring in a game as polished as this one. This is the only gripe I have. Other than that, it’s been a fun experience.

All and all, I’m giving it a 9/10. It’s an absolutely phenomenal game with so many things to do you’ll become dizzy of all the duties...but the multiplayer is far too bad to be disregarded as *just another thing*

I want these type of community style games to have seamless multiplayer or at least some form of faster joining in multiplayer. It takes far too long just to join or have someone visit your island only for them to just sell some fruit and look around. I feel like Nintendo could have stepped it up here and gave players their own personal *online* space as a disconnected island bridged to the main island by some form of bridge before separating and departing....However, all of the other features completely disconnects this from any form of disappointment I could have. I mean this game is just amazing. I am continuing to learn more and customize more just to form my own clothing store in game! It’d be neat if I could have some random visitors so we could visit each other's island c:

Hope y’all have a wonderful night <3 My island’s name is Dagon by the way c:

pen emoji (i don’t feel like finding it) abt any of your ocs

(Thank you for sending this even though I've literally never mentioned any of them dkalhfhafskghd)

Ok so Sasha

Her whole gist is she finds Nix in the middle of a fight with a Nightmare in a forest, and ends up saving him. She brings him back to her house because she has the best judgment on what to do with unconscious people who are bleeding out after fighting a monster you never knew existed (/s). She, obviously, begins panicking about having his dead body in her tub until said dead body pulls her out of it, perfectly fine.

She, understandably is like "what the fuck" and Nix, being a Master of Human Emotion is like "oh I'm not human haha wanna come work with me?"

(In reality it's more along the lines of "hey ain't it weird how you can see those dream creatures? Also since you're not associated with us we'll have to wipe your memory of this whole event if you don't join ¯\_(ツ)_/¯")

She ends up joining them, shenanigans ensue, she makes a bunch of friends with her mission group, she gets kidnapped after making a deal with a demon, the whole shebang

Basically what the company (Somn inc., "where dreams come true!") is is just a bunch of people who enter the mindscapes of those plagued by dream creatures to help them sleep peacefully

Most employees are not human, and humans are actually looked down upon because they often have less dream abilities, or none at all.

The company has a whole thing about never showing identities, something about how imagination holds a lot of power with those who have stronger dream abilities can will things into existence, but only if they actually know someone's true form (kinda death note logic)

So they use codenames and never reveal their species

So they go through training, and on their first real mission, Sasha gets badly hurt, and her identity is revealed.

If you remember what I said earlier, humans aren't the most accepted group in this company, or really overall over the groups of sentient folk

So she ends up more or less ostracized by the group, with them talking about how her being human led to her getting hurt, and even saying she should leave if she knew what was best for her.

So now let's backtrack for a sec

Ever since her seventeenth birthday, she's been having strange dreams

She'd find herself in a field of purple flowers, under an endless sky

Ever since she joined the company, she's been seeing a figure on the horizon

Each night she finds herself closer and closer, yet never able to reach it

Now back to when she's just been outed as human

She goes to sleep that night to find the figure right next to her, offering to make her a deal

The figure says that they can make her more powerful, or worthy or whatever

Sasha accepts, and oops! The figure takes control of her body and runs off to the dream realm, a void between mindscapes filled with Nightmares

So Sasha goes missing, and the group is like "oh shit"

They end up going around where Sasha lives, setting up missing person posters and the likes, going door to door, where they meet enfys

I know this is just about one oc and that I'm making it about the whole story so here's some quick background on enfys

E is sort of a conspiracy theorist, e's real paranoid

So naturally when e find out eir friend (and long time crush) has gotten some weird part time job that she often comes back from beat up, e's real suspicious

So the whole time while Sasha was out learning dream stuff, enfys has been worrying eir ass off about her and trying to figure out what's happening

So when the crew comes to eir house with news that Sasha has mysteriously disappeared, refusing to give any more information other than vague answers, e's real suspicious

E ends up interrogating them and they spill the beans, so e ends up joining the search party for her, despite not being able to see dream creatures

So the crew goes on a quest, each having to deal with their complicated backgrounds in order to get in the right state of mind to enter the dream realm

So what's Sasha been doing the whole time? Well, the demon from her dreams (Zea) has been gathering an army of Nightmares to fight the leader of Somn inc

Throughout this she's basically trapped in a place separate from her mindscape, her consciousness, which is more or less the control room for the body

She's been trying to talk Zea down, and learns that her whole vendetta against Somn inc. is because the leader's careless for his workers lead to her father dying on a mission, and ever since she's been trying to gain power to take him down

So Sasha's like "wait you're telling me this corporation who more or less blackmailed me, a seventeen year old into working for them under dangerous situations, is bad? Wack."

So by the time the crew comes back and they have a Big Fight in the dream void area thing Sasha's like "okay everyone can't we just chill and take down a corrupt CEO together?"

The crew, having not been there for Zea's somewhat redemption are naturally like "okay what the fuck" and decide to try and get Zea out of control of Sasha's body

This ends up killing Zea and Sasha

They're all sad and stuff blah blah blah the end

...

Not really though

The story picks up with Sasha and Zea stuck in a void

Sasha's like "you know what? Fuck this."

And Zea's like "bruh I've been working my whole life can't I just give up now?"

And Sasha's like "this whole situation has led to us having to do this together, you got me into this so I'm gonna drag you out if the afterlife with me"

And so Sasha, through sheer willpower (which makes sense because ghosts are formed from the dead refusing to be dead) yoinks them outta the afterlife as ghosts

So. Backtracking again, remember enfys?

Turns out their paranoia kinda stems from them being a spirit medium and being able to see what no one else can, yadda yadda yadda

So enfys has kinda cut emself off from the group, blaming them (but secretly emself too) for Sasha's death

E's like mourning and stuff when e sees Sasha's ghost and is like "what the fuck"

Then e sees Sasha brought Zea's ghost and is like "What The Fuck"

So it's a whole thing where e tries to prove Sasha still Kinda being there to the group

The think e's making it up, or having grief-driven delusions

So enfys goes to Sasha's mom and holds a spirit channeling session or something

So Sasha's mom often has to be away on work trips due to being a single mom, so she's real guilt filled for not spending more time with her

So her mom ends up talking about Sasha's father- who she's never mentioned before- and it turns out he's not human

A demon to be specific, who had to leave her because his job was too dangerous

Huh

So Zea's like "hold up. Describe him."

Enfys is like "what are you doing?"

And Zea's like "shut up, describe him."

Turns out Sasha and Zea share a dad

I don't have the whole thing planned out but the group reunites and they end up taking down the corrupt company, the Nightmares, as it turns out, aren't really that bad and used to have a peaceful symbiotic relationship with humans, they end up returning to how it was, all that jazz, enfys ends up dating a ghost

So now stuff about Sasha in general!

She's a trans gal

She and enfys have been childhood friends, and she's actually been crushing on em for a while

She's latina

At the beginning she's actually kinda naive, which leads to the whole "making a deal with a random demon" thing, and by the end she's still trusting, but not to a fault

She's actually really resourceful, and can talk her way out of many situations

She's just. Neat.

She's also kinda the backbone of the whole team

She's really a lot more useful than she gives herself credit for

#jeez this just ended up being a recap of the story huh #long post #also this would be a lot longer if i didn't limit myself to mainly talking about her #'cause i have lots to say about this story lol

44. Dreaming wild and free

April 2019

Recently I think it cannot be denied I’ve been going through what could well be described as a funk. It has been a hard couple of days and I keep thinking to myself why am I going through this again and what does this all mean. And last night I had one of the most vivid dreams i have had in a while. And i know that i dont dream that often so for me to dream anything and then remember it is rather rare. So i thought I’d go back to something that i have done infrequently over the past which is to go over my dream and try to interpret it because who knows there might be something in there which helps me to find myself.

So I only remember bits and pieces of the dream but one of the clearest things I can remember has to be the sense of urgency I was having, the need or urgency to save everyone and save them all from whatever was coming next. And the entire dream played out like a tv show or movie that one might see, as it went through everything in a funny manner. I somehow had superpowers, the ability to fly and I was using that to get away from situations that were difficult and soaring higher and higher just because I could. Meanwhile the bad guys in my dream found the ability to grow larger and to shrink before wreaking havoc on the city. And it seemed to me like I was the only one who would be able to save everyone. I found my way into a building that I needed to infiltrate and hid in the bathroom but got sold out by a talking head that was in there with me. And when the person I was shadowing came over to me, suspicious about my being there, I found the ability to change my face.

And I have spent a great part of the morning trying to focus on what it is exactly that this dream means. What was happening that made me feel all of this and what does this mean for my future. Because I am an avid believer that dreams come to us for a reason. They mean something. Either they can tell what is going to happen, or they are reactive to the situation you may find yourself in and could potentially be sources of inspiration. So within my dream there lie I believe several smaller pieces of advice and interpretation.

The sense of urgency I think represents a dramatic situation in my life, or one that may come in my life, that I will need to handle in order to support my family and friends. The need to act urgently and work to save things, or it could also signify the pressure that I am currently under.

The ability to fly is an interesting one, because as far as I can see the only interpretation is a positive one. I was flying upwards and soaring high just because i could which indicates a sense of freedom. Flying I think in this dream indicates an escape from the pressures of the real world. Which I think would fit in very nicely with everything going on with me currently. And finally the changing face. This took me a lot longer to interpret and its something that I think is very true of me, which is to say that I was ready within a heartbeat to hide myself. It didn’t even take much energy for me to essentially put a mask on and pretend as if everything is ok. This is something I have found myself doing more and more recently only because I feel I dont want to slip at any point. I dont want to burden anyone or let my real feelings, when they are at their highest, to get through.

I feel like I am outta wack. I am in a weird hole and I feel myself spiralling. I am stressed by so much these days I am slightly shocked that I have any time to do anything and what has essentially become general anxiety doesnt impact me any more than this. I have not much to stress on which is why I think ive begun to find other things to stress out about and spiral. Exams, my elective, my future career plans and asian boy. None of these are in any real danger, none of these are anything I should spiral over but I am spiralling and I dont know how to stop myself.

this intro ? WACK.

( IM JINAH ) *|| DECRYPTING ! file : rin hana. the twenty six year old conduit with the power to SHAPESHIFT was last seen in seattle washington. SHE is a level 3 threat, and must be brought into custody of the D.U.P dead or alive. they are usually associated with ( droplets of blood on snow, faux laughter, cracked mirrors, tightly tied back hair, daggers hidden beneath sleeves, small cuts on the cheek ) so be on the look out. witnesses describe her as implacable + evasive, but strangely charismatic + staunch. if sighted, please contact the DUP help line.

a little bit of da past

this is the second rin seed, aka, the younger sister to ouran. their parents died when she was two so she and her brother grew up in foster care. she and ouran have literally been attached to the hip since she could remember ? they’ve never been separated in foster care, with the exception of that one time but let’s just say it didn’t work, and he became her legal guardian after he turned 18

hana’s abilities surfaced after her conduit gene was activated and she was tbh kind of psyched about it ?? she didn’t see herself as cursed, she actually embraced her powers pretty easily. it started off with her being able to change little things, like the color of her hair, eyes, etc. but she loved to experiment so after awhile, she learned how to shapeshift into completely different people. ngl the first person she took the appearance of was her brother, probs as some kind of practical joke to fuck with his head a lil LMAO

the day ouran was taken by the DUP was the first day the two had ever really been separated. her brother helped her escape the apartment before the DUP came, but he never made it out with her. she always relied on him for everything so being on her own was like a hard ass slap to the face. he was the only person she had and she didn’t have anyone else after he was taken, had no place to stay and was like... hella broke. she was also on the run. the DUP knew that ouran had a sister and they assumed that since his powers were pretty dangerous, that hana’s would be just as bad so um yeah she was on their watch list for the longest. little did they know that the bitch could shapeshift so even though they had her description, she’d just take the appearance of someone else and blend in with da crowd. that’s how she survived tbh, she’d constantly be changing her appearance and pick-pocketing and just being a sneaky bitch in general

during one of her little acts, she gets a bit carried away and goes to this party for the elite, right ? she’s hoping to get lucky and steal some mulah, you feel. but then, get this, she MEETS SOMEONE and he’s catches her attention almost immediately. fast forward a month, she’s still in the same form she’d used that night and they’re together, as in like, they’re dating. all’s happy and shiz and she believes that maybe she can keep this appearance up but them boom, she lets her guard down once and he finds out she’s a conduit. he pretends to accept her for who she is but you already know hana’s iife highkey SUCKS and he ends up lying to her and reporting her to the DUP when she’s asleep lol

the DUP takes her but instead of locking her up, they propose a deal. if she works with them, they’d release ouran from curdun cay in 5 years... so uh yeah she took the deal. due to her special ability to shapeshift, the government wanted her to disguise herself and gain the trust of numerous rebel conduit groups then turn them in, basically. she hated it but hana’s love for her brother shadows everything else so she did it anyway WHOOPS

3 years into being their little “undercover cop”, hana hears rumors of a “fire conduit” escaping curdun cay. she knows that there may be a chance that it’s not her brother, but she doesn’t let the opportunity slip away. she uses all of her resources to find him and somehow, they get in touch and she escapes from the DUPs grasp to meet up with him in seattle

hana ? WACK too

much deceitful. she’s taken multiple identities during the time she’d been without her brother so the girl’s learned a thing or two about messing with someone’s head

real charming. she has this kind of vibe, you feel ? she just has this way with words. lowkey it’s scary tho

pretty loyal, pretty trustworthy. she hated betraying all those people when she was working with the DUP but she did it for the person she was the most loyal to: her brother. she doesn’t just go around backstabbing every person she meets i promise

uhhhh trust issues ? she just doesn’t trust people easily and though she’s a pretty outgoing person, it’s hard to have a raw-kind-of conversation with her. she likes to flash a smile and laugh, not talk about feelings

ok so she’s one of those nice people who have a really, really bad side ? if she’s angry, boi she is ANGRY. if you’ve done her wrong, don’t expect to ever get on her good side ever again. she is just so unforgiving, unyielding, uncompromising, un-EVERYTHING

a bit flirtatious lmao. leave it to her to be like “did you know that i can make my boobs bigger”

oooo magic ooo power ooo Bad-Ass™

so as explained, hana has the power to shapeshift, along with the general abilities of a conduit. she can change specific parts of her body as well as her whole appearance, but if she’s trying to turn herself into another person, she would have had to see them beforehand.

the activation of her conduit gene also altered her physiology a little. she grew small horns on her head, her hair turned snow white, and her eyes became completely black. though in order to blend in, she gets rid of her horns and uses her former hair and eye colors.

can only take the form of humans, no animals or objects. sometimes she tries to imitate an animal, but it never ends well bc it exerts her and causes her to be temporarily stuck half way through the transformation. think human with the legs of a chicken, or something funny like that

knows how to kick butt ? she was taught basic fighting moves during her time with the DUP but she wasn’t some kind of huge military ass kicker. but after she and her brother met up, she totally bugged the crap outta him until he agreed to train her so yeah basically they’re a pair of butt kicking siblings<333

since shapeshifting isn’t really an offensive ability, she’s always carrying around a weapon or two. good with guns and swords but her weapon of choice are kunai knives, which she literally hides everywhere on her body s2g

wanted connections

best friend

childhood friend

frenemies

enemies/rivals

crush(es), one-sided crushes ?

ex(es)

one night stand

fwb

just the general ones i guess ? a more specific one would be someone she’d met when she was working for the DUP. could be someone who was part of a group she turned in ?

More stuff with meeting Husk

Nothing really bad- Just a continuation if the last mem post.. Under a cut because its to damn long

Once I calmed down Husk helped me home- Offered ta help patch me up a bit too...

I kept looking behind us while we walked...

And once we were inside- I locked my door

"Did you see anyone following us?"

"Uh-"

"Like.. A lady- With a big hat... Eyes as black as her soul-"

"I don't think anyone was following us, kid- A cat and some random demon in shreds aint really much ta follow.."

I huff, "If you think so-" I hobble around the livingroom- I'm getting blood everywhere but whatever- I check my windows.. Check the curtains... Check the placement of very specific objects on my end tables

"Uh- K-"

"Alastor."

"Alastor- Um.. What're ya doing...?"

I look at him like he's crazy- "Making sure she wasn't here... Isn't here... Obviously..." I head toward my kitchen, "Stay here. Don't touch anything- Keep an eye on the door... And for shadows by the windows."

I go to inspect the rest of my house before he can ask anymore questions- Once I deem it safe... I go back to the livingroom- I knock on the wall to get his attention.

"She isn't here.. For now... C'mon.. Bathrooms this way-" I gesture for him to follow me as I head back down the hall- He follows, and I turn into the bathroom, "I don't got much for patchin broken arms and missing eyes- Ya can probably tell.. But I don't 'xactly do that very often..."

"I can make do-" He starts searching through cabinets, pulling out cloths and bandages, "So, Alastor... What exactly do you usually do... It aint every day when we normal demons get ta see the Radio Demon in action..."

I grumble, "Don't call me that..." I ruffle my hand in my hair as he starts trying to fix up my arm, "I.. Usually just hang around here- Leave for some shopping maybe... But I'm to scared to do much else-"

He chuckles, "I'd say it's hard to imagine the most powerful demon being scared of anything... But you've been jumpin like an abandoned toddler since ya showed up at the casino... Mind tellin me whats gotcha so scared..?"

I tense up and I feel my smile waver, "U-uh..."

"Ya don't gotta if ya dont want to... 'M just curious... 'Course it aint to smart to let people know of your weaknesses 'round here..."

"Y-yeah..." I sigh and relax, "Um- If we're askin questions... Why'd you help me...? I'm used to bein encouraged to keep goin- Or being slapped til I stop... Nobodies tried to calm me down before-"

He sighs and smiles at me, stopping his bandaging to pat my head, "Ya needed it... You're certainly not the monster everyone thinks ya are... Sure.. You're powerful... But watchin ya makes it really obvious that ya don't know what youre doin... And you're scared... Almost look like a kid, honestly..."

I huff, "I know what I'm doing! I can use my abilities of my own vol- v-" I squint at the ground, "V o l i t i o n" He laughs as I struggle, and I continue, "It's just.. Also based in my emotions... And when I get scared- Or angry... It just kinda... Does its own thing..."

"Bein able to use your power, and knowing exactly how to use it aren't the same thing... Ya said so yourself.. Ya couldn't stop it.. Even after the carnage was over- Even after getting this badly hurt-"

"It'll heal"

"Y-yeah- But- It's obvious ya don't use the full extent of your abilities as often as the public thinks you do..."

I nod slightly, "M-most attacks blamed on me are- Done by the other.. Higher ups- I'm just.. The most well known.. The most feared... So they pin it on me, and theres never any witnesses to say otherwise..." I whimper and he moves to my eye, "My power hurts... Alot- and- Not just cause I got hurt... Its always painful... Headaches as it starts... My eyes feel like they're melting.. And full of static... I can barely feel my body cause it all just goes numb from the pain... I try to avoid going.. "Full radio demon" As She started calling it... Even if its.. Beneficial..."

He raises a brow, "Beneficial? How does something that painful help anyone..?"

"W-well... I can talk freely while its active... All eyes and ears are on me.. So I can broadcast whatever I want to them all..."

He looks even more confused, and I sigh, "I can't talk unless someones listening... It's an absolute pain... I miss being able to talk to myself..."

"Ah... You must've talked often while alive then..?"

I nod, "I lived alone.. And spent every waking moment talking to myself- So... It's- Like this little curse... The cherry ontop of my Hell suffering sundae..."

He hums, "Ya seem like a good kid, Alastor... I doubt ya really deserve alla this-"

"Will ya stop callin me a kid? I'm 25- Not countin however long ive been in this place"

He snorts, "Yeah ya are a kid... I'm 'bout 60 myself... Not really sure"

"Why-"

"Died in my sleep, either the night before, or morning of my birthday... Ain't sure if I died after midnight or not..."

"... So you're basically 60"

"Eh I guess so.." He shrugs and pats my shoulder, "Well.. You're all patched up- I'll get outta your hair now... I got a Casino to clean- 'fore they try ta tear the thing down..."

"A-alright... Thank you... 'Nd uh.. Feel free to come by sometime- Ya might get wacked with my mic but- I'll try ta see who it is before I swing..." We both stand up, and head for the livingroom as I talk.

He chuckles and smiles, "No problem... 'N try ta stay outta trouble, alright?"

I snort, "My whole existance is trouble, Husk..."

"Good point... Heh- Bye ki- Alastor.." He waves and heads out the door.

Before I could say bye- So I end up just.. Mouthing it...

Now its back to silence...
