Hi! I'm not sure if u still have slots for CP but if so could I have one? my top 3 from hq are bokuto, iwaizumi + miya atsumu! im 5'5, she/her w long dark brown hair w the front half of my right side dyed white, green eyes + tan skin. I'm super bubbly, loud, naturally flirty + my love language is physical touch! I love working out and I'm a huge foodie. I'm stubborn + impulsive, luv rain/storms, coffee + pda.

Thank u sm in advance if theres still space <3 2/2
Cupid’s Pick for your match made in heaven is...
... Iwaizumi!!
...long dark brown hair w the front half of my right side dyed white.
All of them would find that super cool, like the unique style of it, their reactions would just vary.
Iwa would be wide eyed and go ‘wow’. He’d definitely stare, but in a good way because he’s 100% admiring the way you look with this style. There’s just no hiding that admiring look on his face, he can’t even if he tries tbh. He just thinks it’s so mf cool. Would subtly bask in the praises you get bc ‘hell yeah she’s fucking cool, that’s my girlfriend >:)’. Would compliment you for sure, simple and to the point, and you just know he means every word because his personality is like that.
Atsumu & Bo would be louder and more verbal & show-off-y. Lots of like ‘omfg this style is so cool?!?!?’. Would even go as far as saying ‘we matchBIXKJSANJC’ (especially Bo since the dyed colour is the same), since they have dyed hair themselves, and would also 100000% take pics and show them off to Osamu & Akaashi and their MSBY teammates and even post about u on their accounts bc they’re just so excited uwu
It’s also a given that they would change their wallpaper to u with this hairstyle ASAP uwu
I also really like protective people!
All of them are pretty protective in their own rights, I feel? The difference would be how they deal with the thing or person making you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
I feel like Iwa would have no qualms being a sort of shield between you and that problem. If someone’s bothering you, he would step in between u and the person/people and bring you away from them AFTER (respectfully) glaring at them and telling them they’re making things uncomfortable for everyone. He’s quite observant too, having dealt with Oikawa’s personality and habits for a lot of his life, so he would be able to tell when you need his protection and when you can handle yourself. Tbh even when you can handle yourself, he’ll already be inching towards you, wanting to be by your side just in case it turns ugly. And if it ever turns ugly (which is fucked up because why tf would anyone wanna fight Iwa when he’s packing all those muscles??), ya know he won’t be fucking around. He may be a respectful man, but that doesn’t mean he won’t twist the person’s arm with a little more force than necessary if they tried to do shit to u. After the mf’s taken care of, he’ll take you some place quiet and make sure you’re alright, feeling safe and comforted by treating you softer than usual. Will also bring you your favourite snacks to help you ease your nerves and end the night on a better note. Overall, 10/10 boyfriend because your comfort and safety means a lot to him uwu <3
Atsumu would probably veeeery publically embarrass them by calling them out, and you know his words cut deeeeeep. He’ll be keeping a hand on you throughout the day/night, that’s for sure, until you’re home again. Just that touch of his to make sure you’re by his side and doing alright.
Bo would probably get angry (whether in a cute pouty way or in an intense anger would depend on the situation), unintentionally call them out (which would be hella embarrassing for the other person bc god they made BOKUTO angry??), and then he would just start trying to make sure you’re okay. He’d start being really touchy like cupping your face, hugging you from all angles, & etc. He’ll bring you home asap if the situation calls for it or if you ask him to or if the person isn’t gone from the space, but would probably stay if you tell him it’s alright and you’re okay now.
I think the both of them are protective in their own rights, but something about Iwa being really perceptive and having that strength and reliability to his personality that would probably make you feel the safest (based on yours and his traits).
I love working out and I'm a huge foodie.
IWAIZUMI HAJIME, (27), ATHLETIC TRAINER. CHAMPION OF ARM WRESTLING, AND EVERY SPORT IMAGINABLE.
I don’t think I need to say more, it’s all right thereKSKSKSK
He’ll work out with you and become those perfect work out couple goals. 1000000000000000000% for sure. And he’s an athletic trainer, so he knows how to help you maximize your work out.
I can also see him eating a lot with you on your food trips. Sure, his diet is pretty balanced, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like to eat, and especially on cheat days he’ll happily indulge in the more ‘unhealthy’ foods with you.
I also don’t think he’ll be trying to control your diet, but maybe tell you stuff like ‘eat more veges/protein/etc.’ if you don’t eat properly. He cares for you and your health is important to him too. But if your diet is pretty good and balanced as is, then he’ll be a little more relaxed knowing you’re not surviving on only junk foods and sodas lol
I ramble but I'm a gd listener, a night owl, v playful + luv teasing.
GREAT because I can see Iwa appreciating very much that you’d listen to him talk on about his rough day, gush the monsters he finds super fucking cool (like Godzilla), rants about Oikawa being a shit head (again), and so on.
I can see him being a great listener too, always nodding along and taking in what you ramble to him. Giving comments and insights too if he can. And if he doesn’t have the capacity or energy for that (most probably bc work was draining or he isn’t having a good day), he’d tell you straight up (if you didn’t catch the physical clues he displays). Politely and to the point, without malice.
Oikawa is teasing and playful with him, so he’s practically built to handle it like a pro since childhoodKSKSKSK
But he won’t resort to violence with you ofc, just with Oikawa <3 depending on the nature of your teasing, he’d either roll his eyes and maybe bump your shoulder lightly (or some other light form of contact), or he’ll try to tease you back. I can also see him blushing and asking you to shut it if your teasing grants that kind of reaction if yk what I meanKSKSKS
The night owl bit, he understands, but would tell you sometimes to not mess up your schedule and to sleep earlier if you can because that’s just how he shows that he cares. If you point out that he sounds like a nagging mom, he’d pop a vein and tackle you (softly) and drag you to bed and be a little kid about it like ‘HA what can u do now that u can’t escape my arms?? Who’s a nagging mom now??’. Y’all would 100% end up in giggles UWUWUWUWUWU
I'm stubborn + impulsive, luv rain/storms, coffee + pda.
I can see Atsumu & Bo loving and basking in the PDA more than Iwa, because that shit makes him flustered so hard and he has to take a while to get used to having someone show him such bold displays of love. But I feel like Iwa would really grow to like it tho uwu
All 3 of them are kind of stubborn in their own way? If y’all disagree on something, I can see Bo & Iwa coming to a compromise with you easier than Atsumu.
Iwa would make you a cup of coffee just the way you like it every day when you wake up because it’s his actions with the littlest things that show you the loudest how much he loves you. He’s also great with holding you back on your more dangerous and rash and potentially harmful impulses, like the reliable figure that gives you good reasons and talks you out of reeeeaaally bad decisions, but he’s also a whole Gemini so he’ll indulge in your impulses with you more often than you think heh heh
I'm also straight forward and try my best to be upfront about my feelings.
That’s a great trait for all of the boys tbh, because all 3 of them needs someone like that due to their personalities.
Atsumu would understand that you’re not playing mind games and he wouldn’t then try to play it back or burst into flames. Bo would be thankful because he can just take your words as is. And that’s the same for Iwa too. While he’s observant and can probably read between the lines no problem, straight forwardness just makes things easier for him because he’s pretty straight forward too. And I feel that if he can count on you for that, then he’ll be probably allow himself to rely on you more.
If you praise them, they’ll know you mean it too and they’ll be real happy about it uwu
I'm empathetic + love comforting others!
Another great attribute for all 3 of them. Bo & Atsumu melts in a more obvious way (and in the moment) when you comfort them and when you empathize with them, but Iwa? It’s in the way he squeezes your hand right after, the look in his eyes are soft and so is his grateful smile. It’s in the way he hugs you later in bed, curving into you like a cat, arms secure around you, and he whispers a very tender ‘thank you’. It’s in the way he kisses you good morning the day after, hand on your cheek as if he’s holding the world in it, and he feels like he is. I’d say it’s more quiet with Iwa’s display of gratitude, but it’s just as loud as the other two, there’s no doubt about that.
I'm super bubbly, loud, naturally flirty + my love language is physical touch! I'm emotional, confident, bold, giggly, energetic + observant! I’m spontaneous, optimistic, passionate + ambitious!
Your outgoing and naturally flirty self would probably capture all 3 of their hearts, with Iwa putting up a little more fight than the rest (he doesn’t take it as him being special, but falls for your sweet words regardless bc he likes u so much).
Bo & Atsumu would satisfy your love language more, both looking like they’re very comfortable in showing you they love you in that way. Iwa might be a more muted than the 2, but if y’all are dating, he’d always have a hand on you somehow. Whether its holding your hand, a hand on your back, on your cheek, & etc. Like he just finds a way to always have contact with you, especially when he finds out your love language if physical touch. He’ll put in the effort, that’s for sure.
Atsumu might not do as well with your emotional trait? He doesn’t mince his words, and even if he tries to be softer with you, it’s not 100% that he’ll change that part of himself. He’ll try to comfort you, apologize and sooth your wounds if he hurts you bad, but it’s how he is with his words – blunt and (mainly) unfiltered. Iwa isn’t blunt, I’d say? He knows what to say and when to say it and how to say it, and he’s also caring, so I feel like he’d do very well with this trait of yours.
Being energetic meshes pretty well with Bo bc he’s pretty energetic himself. Iwa himself has a lot of energy, so he would most definitely keep up with your energy no problem.
Every other trait I can see doing well with Iwa. He’d admire it, and some would even push him further too by feeding off your traits too.

RebelVampire
COMIC TEA PARTY- THURSDAY BOOK CLUB START!
Good evening, everyone~! This week’s Thursday Book Club is officially beginning! Today we are discussing Moonlight Apparition by Janaka Davis (Darkhalo4321)~! (http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/)
Remember that Thursday discussions are completely freeform! However, every 30 minutes I will drop in OPTIONAL discussion questions in case you’d like a bit of a prompt. If you miss out on one of these prompts, you can find them pinned for the chat’s duration. Additionally, remember that while constructive criticism is allowed, our focus is fun and respectfully appreciating the comic. All that said, let’s begin!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
Kabocha
Hello~! Yay Dark! :D Honestly -- my favorite scene is probably the scene where Ker starts teaching Jason a smidge more nicely, rather than just being a jerk about things. I feel like we're starting to get past his gruff exterior a bit... Wonder why he's such a grump? http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2572727/6-4/ Also, his witch eye is super badass, and I am really curious to learn more about it, bleeding and all.
Sarai
I'd have to say near the beginning, when Jason defeats the....thing (i forget what it was called exactly i'm so sorry ) by calmly sending it on its way instead of defeating it with violence
SpazztastiKim
When Robbie jumps on the well. Because it's hysterical. (I am a simple creature)
Darkhalo4321
a shade monster
Sarai
SHADE MONSTER thank you
i need to reread
Darkhalo4321
It likes to throw shade
Kabocha
So, it's a shade monster -- you mean it's just telling Jason all the failings of his friends right there?
Darkhalo4321
probably
SpazztastiKim
nerds...
Darkhalo4321
toby has an expired library boooook
Respheal
Made it o/
Darkhalo4321
yey
SpazztastiKim
Toby no
Sarai
TOBY NOOOOOO
Kabocha
"Yeah, you think it's real good idea to go jumping on well covers... Just you wait, one of you guys is gonna fall through and I'm gonna laugh my ass off."
Sarai
the worst crime of them all
Respheal
Oh yeah I liked the early scene too
RebelVampire
and here i thought toby was the one we could trust
Respheal
Robbie's antics at that point make me laugh
-kick- oh shit
SpazztastiKim
Robbie no
Letter Bee
My favorite scene is when Jason protected Lark.
Sarai
The first scene introduced me into what genre this story was and the monsters these good kiddos would face, but how jason handled it made me realize what kind of story it would be
Kabocha
Discord blocked my doodle....
SpazztastiKim
rude
Respheal
Rude!
Darkhalo4321
nuuu
discord play nice
Kabocha
[image: Shade monster: You guys think you're hot shit, eh? Too bad Sunny-boy isn't here to enlighten you! Jason: stop](edited)
SpazztastiKim
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Darkhalo4321
meanwhile Lark sneezing off screen not wanting to be involved
crimsonangeltears
haha (and hello I made it )
RebelVampire
my favorite scene is the one where antonio fights the spying hunters and is basically like "im cooler than you now gtfo my property"
Darkhalo4321
yay! thank you! ovo/
SpazztastiKim
that is a GREAT scene
Darkhalo4321
that was probably my favorite scene to draw
Sarai
HOW COULD I FORGET THAT ONE
Respheal
Antonio: Get off my lawn!(edited)
SpazztastiKim
basically
Sarai
his SMILE as he makes his weapon appear
SpazztastiKim
all he's missing is a cane to wave around threateningly
Darkhalo4321
he's not THAT old yet-
SpazztastiKim
lol
Sarai
the face of a man who hasn't been in a fight for a long time and is looking FORWARD to it
SpazztastiKim
ya'll f-ed up
Darkhalo4321
>:3c
RebelVampire
hey you dont need to be old for a cane. you can get one for the aesthetic.
also it can be used for blunt force trauma
Sarai
and for beating people!
see Rebel gets me
Darkhalo4321
XD
Sarai
using canes is a Legit martial art form you know
Kabocha
The only thing that hurts worse than getting cut by Antonio would be the emotional wounds he can inflict.
Darkhalo4321
>_O ooof yeah.
Sarai
or the emotional wounds you'd get just from the fact that you forced him to hit you
RebelVampire
wait if the shade monsters throw shade, is this how antonio fought them? he just learned to throw even more intense shade?
Kabocha
Not only can he kick your ass, but he will make you feel bad about making him kick your ass.
Darkhalo4321
I mean ... look at how well Crow does later on
SpazztastiKim
hmm
might not be the BEST example X'D
Darkhalo4321
:0
I love crow
SpazztastiKim
(yes, I'm teasing crow shhhh)
Kabocha
Honestly, looking at this scene, Crow is lucky that Antonio didn't just maim him right there.
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2290462/4-11/
SpazztastiKim
truth
crimsonangeltears
I really liked when Jason sparred with Toby, it's still one of my favs
Sarai
kabo coming in clutch with those links
Darkhalo4321
I imagine 40 tabs open on kabos computer
Sarai
when Jason rolled with his niece to keep her safe
Darkhalo4321
this was such a fun page to draw :D
Respheal
Later that week, Antonio looks at his socks and has a moment of "like the old days" and "dammit we're out of bleach"
grass staaaaaaaaaains
Darkhalo4321
just make ker do the laundry
SpazztastiKim
HA
RebelVampire
jason sparring with toby was cute but also made me more curious about toby. like jason makes sense for why hes have secret fight knowledge, but why did toby feel compelled to learn.
Sarai
((then he'd get sad because that would be the moment Adelaide would tell him "use vinegar and water))
RebelVampire
i feel if ker did the laundry hed mix bleach with all the chemicals youre not supposed to mix bleach with
fill the house with poison
Sarai
KER NO
KER THAT'S THE ONE THING YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO
crimsonangeltears
I just figured that was an activity toby learned when he was younger. my hubby did taekwon do as a kid (did I spell that right xD)
Darkhalo4321
Probably mixes his red socks with his white shirts...
SpazztastiKim
Piiink
RebelVampire
ker would look dashing in pink probably
SpazztastiKim
Totally
Darkhalo4321
It's really blue'd up, but in the scene after the contact with lark, his shirt is more on the magenta/pink side.
Sarai
a nice pink button-up with a navy blue tie? Very nice
Kabocha
[Image: Antonio saying, "Hey Ker, did you see that chore list I left for ya, eh?"]
Darkhalo4321
just a guy, making dinner... I'm sure...
Sarai
hey my dad makes tacos and cuts fruit with his bowie knife, I'm sure Antonio would do the same
OH NO XD
Darkhalo4321
insert Jason handing Ker some form of cross because- he gon' need it for the grave
better find a saint to save ya
Kabocha
You know, Ker sure mouths off a lot to Antonio... I can't wait to see some form of terror pop up at some point. XD
Sarai
St Jude? XD
(patron of lost causes)
Darkhalo4321
OH NO, that's PERFECT FOR KER
RebelVampire
it turns out we were the shade monsters all along.
Kabocha
Dark -- serious question though. This... Terraphate massacre mentioned in chapter 4... How many people were killed?! http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2300366/4-14/
Tenor | Shinavar
“1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?” Lark's introduction because he's my baby anD HE'S DOING SO WELL I'M SO PROUD. :DD (Also I just deeply enjoy like, a lot?? of?? he scenes but Lark's intro had me immediatly adopt him so- )
Darkhalo4321
more than 7
SpazztastiKim
Oof
Respheal
Lark is very intriguing
Darkhalo4321
it was more of a serial murder case
Kabocha
Lark's a troubled sunshine child
Respheal
sunshine
Tenor | Shinavar
(Also HI EVERYONE + I will be limited in typing, bound to my left had today )
RebelVampire
ah so one of those massacres where they pulled out a thesaurus to make it sound cooler
Sarai
OH i get the "more than 7" reference now
Kabocha
Wait, more than 7 reference?
Darkhalo4321
more than 7 killed
Kabocha
also, you know... if it's a small number like that... Sounds like ................................... A conspiracy.
Sarai
Boston "massacre" had only 7 people killed
((or was it 5 oh no i'm getting rusty))
crimsonangeltears
But was it random or a set group of people at the same time? hmm
Kabocha
o_o I have no idea
Darkhalo4321
it was across town- but like...yanno.... it happened all on the same night so... suspicious still
Kabocha
MAGICAL MASSACRE!
crimsonangeltears
Ohhh
Darkhalo4321
Culprit was apprehended- or were they? dun dun dun >:#c
Kabocha
Theory: all the people killed were Apparition users
RebelVampire
how big is the town?
Kabocha
And that's how Jason got his magic
Darkhalo4321
Uhm... I'd estimate around the 12-17k range. ish
Kabocha
It is literally murder magic
Darkhalo4321
big enough to have a hospital at.
Sarai
oh
Darkhalo4321
but like Bandon Oregon has a hospital, so like. Eh, if there's a need people will have a hospital.
SpazztastiKim
Cause you know... death is a thing
Darkhalo4321
I did try thinking in terms of "would a city of this size have this or this?" and did some comparisons for research
Kabocha
@Tenor | Shinavar [Image: Lark -- "This boy needs to be happy" Ker -- "This one needs to get over his grudge"](edited)
Darkhalo4321
he's an AXE Murderer
Sarai
oh come on we haven't seen him kill anybody yet
Kabocha
you know, honestly, the first time I saw Ker and Lark interacting, I could have sworn that Lark was like, some trickster asshole. And that he'd done something awful to Ker to make him THAT angry and grumpy.
RebelVampire
ya know i was going to say that is a bigger town than i thought itd be but then i looked up comparable towns near me and have now changes my thoughts that 12k is a tiny town
crimsonangeltears
xD
Kabocha
Maybe he ran into Ker one morning, on the way in to town, and made Ker spill coffee all over his nice, clean shirt.
Respheal
UM
crimsonangeltears
LOOK OUT
Darkhalo4321
It's big- but small. Big enough to have a few draws- but not BIG enough for some stuff.
Respheal
Wow I sure as heck don't remember seeing that lmao
RebelVampire
I thought it was only me who got that impression
Sarai
The town i grew up in is 32k - 12k is TINY XD
Kabocha
30k isn't that small...
Darkhalo4321
See- Roseburg is like 26k population- and I was doing a sized down version of THAT
Kabocha
....I mean, the town I grew up in had that many people, and it was kinda busy but we only had like, 3 blocks... ...of actual city...
Darkhalo4321
you wouldn't believe it but BEND Oregon is now... like 80K
crimsonangeltears
I think in terms of crime it really depends on many factors and the type of crime. Where I come from we have a lot of people technically, but when I was younger certain...crime that happened was not exactly heard of for our location..
We've had three serial killers now and it still isn't something that would have normally happened..
Tenor | Shinavar
12k ain't big but it ain't small. Town next to me is 4k.
Darkhalo4321
lark probably did piss off ker, we just don't know what he did yet
Kabocha
Also worth considering: When we were younger, the news didn't like to cover small towns all that much.(edited)
Sarai
my town was super small up until a few years before I was born, so it really isn't that city-like
Tenor | Shinavar
"Younger"
Kabo: u funny
Kabocha
Ey, remember, only 20 years ago, the internet was thought of as a fad
Tenor | Shinavar
Oh I'm refrencing something else, no worrie slol
RebelVampire
QUESTION 2. Of course, our main protagonist Jason is drenched in mysteries. How exactly do you think Jason’s mother was murdered, and why did the event cause so many changes in the world? Why doesn’t Jason’s dad want to explain the event to him? Who exactly sealed Jason’s memories and for what purpose? Additionally, why are the memories now starting to unravel after all this time? Overall, do you think Jason will learn to control his powers? Does he have a contract as Ker suggests might be possible, or will he have to make one to protect himself? Even if Jason gains control of his powers, how will that change his course in life? Lastly, how will Jason’s experiences with Phates in the future affect his choices?
Respheal
“ How exactly do you think Jason’s mother was murdered”
Horribly
Kabocha
She was stabbed.
Tenor | Shinavar
Dibs on eaten
Respheal
omg
RebelVampire
you know whatever you guys suggest im gonna assume its just all of it
Darkhalo4321
sobs
TENOR
RebelVampire
so stabbed, maybe burned, then eaten
Tenor | Shinavar
What? I'd go into a complete amnesiac trauma experience seeing my mom get eaten in front of me
Kabocha
hold on I have an awful idea
Letter Bee
I feel that the Leader of the Hunters slashed Adelaide to death as part of a plan to demoralize Antonio and keep him from fighting the corruption in the Hunters.
Respheal
And if you're very lucky, in that order?
Sarai
It definately involved Jason somehow, but I don't think he was directly responsible
Tenor | Shinavar
If Jason was responsible I'm chalking it up to "Phrophetic" reasons and mom tried to protect him
Respheal
Jason was a witness at the very least, for sure
Letter Bee
And the Leader of the Hunters also cursed Jason as a further hold on Antonio.
Darkhalo4321
:0
Jason has a hard life
Kabocha
[Image: Crossover joke](edited)
Sarai
DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS KABO
Respheal
WHAT
Darkhalo4321
but her hair was LONG
Respheal
LMAO
Okay okay okay geez uh(edited)
crimsonangeltears
I think she was slashed, not exactly just stabbed? Jason witnessed it so his memories were sealed to protect him from that trauma, but I think that if he remembers who it is, it will put him in Danger. (my guess..)
Respheal
Well, we really don't have any clues as to who did it or why
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2341615/4-23/ I've always wondered if Adalaide is the "she" Lark is talking about.
Is she really dead?
Sarai
i think it was caused by something magic-y he wasn't supposed to see/know about
Kabocha
Is she really? Like, dude, maybe she's not dead, but... Disappeared.
And Lark and Jason share a sort of bond because of it (brothers, maybe???)
Tenor | Shinavar
/Insert Brother Bear Meme for Lark + Adalaide?
crimsonangeltears
If it's disney rules...
Darkhalo4321
Sometimes I can STILL hear his voice
RebelVampire
i support this head canon just so lark and jason can be brothers
Sarai
please don't start another twin theory here
Darkhalo4321
:>
Kabocha
They can't be twins, Lark's older. But maybe Adalaide had a secret child with someone.
crimsonangeltears
I love twins...but I'd have to agree xD
Tenor | Shinavar
Fine I'll up a twin Theory: They're the same person split.
crimsonangeltears
No thank you..
Darkhalo4321
jason just didn't leave for a year. nbd
Respheal
Ooh
Kabocha
Two halves of a whole?
Tenor | Shinavar
Ye
Respheal
Actually, y'know what
Kabocha
Lark is the memories, Jason is the power?
Darkhalo4321
a yin or yang theory
Respheal
I see your twin theory and raise you Lark and Robbie are related(edited)
dat curly hair
Kabocha
omg
Tenor | Shinavar
...
Darkhalo4321
oooo
Tenor | Shinavar
Support
You'd never see it coming their personalities are so different :D
Darkhalo4321
they are the same age too
crimsonangeltears
OR...they are related but time travel or au is involved
Kabocha
!!!!
Darkhalo4321
Robbie is the rogue path
Kabocha
A doppelganger from the phate side of the world?
(Lark, that is)
Darkhalo4321
:0
Kabocha
I mean, Lark is a bird, and Oregon is home to Portland, and if y'all haven't seen Portlandia
crimsonangeltears
OR he's a robot that thinks he's not and he was given fake memories
Kabocha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHmLljk2t8M
Darkhalo4321
Oh nooo
So a doll hm?
Respheal
Oh yeah, regarding the contract part of the question
There was that trippy dream Jason had
Where he looked kinda....corrupted? And someone gave him a cross
I dunno, the timing of that seemed kind of contracty to me
Ah ha, this bit: http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2637351/6-18/(edited)
Kabocha
Who's the other person there?
Respheal
We don't know O:
I think
RebelVampire
in regards to the contract thing, im gonna point out it was suspicious metaphysical contracts were brought up, nobody knows how they work, and it potentially kills ppl
SpazztastiKim
MYSTERY
Darkhalo4321
I mean
Kabocha
Well, people, there's two, but I figure the guy's probably someone like Ker
crimsonangeltears
you'd have to be pretty desperate to agree to it then?
Darkhalo4321
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?
SpazztastiKim
Halo boo
Darkhalo4321
- adviec from Ker... probably
Kabocha
.........That's how he got those scars.
RebelVampire
that does sound like ker advice
Kabocha
"I'm clearly not dead, so it's okay!"
Darkhalo4321
seems legit
Respheal
Oh derp hi like right in the next page from that it shows Jason dreaming about his mom getting slashed(edited)
Darkhalo4321
his dreams suck
Kabocha
Ker sure isn't the prettiest face you'll see for a motivational spokesperson, but he sure is the one that'll make you say "YIKES"
Darkhalo4321
I did have a lot of fun with that dream sequence. I both loved it and regretted it instantly.
Kabocha
Oh?
SpazztastiKim
The true suffering
Kabocha
It's interesting that Jason sees himself as cursed in the dream, though.
RebelVampire
maybe the dream sequence is how jason made a contract to try and save his mom but between that and her dying it was too overwhelming
Kabocha
Unless the curse just sits on top of any self-representational form of himself in his dreams.
SpazztastiKim
oof
Darkhalo4321
ooof indeedly
It's like it's becoming more and more clearer?
Respheal
Ker observed the curse triggers when Jason's thinking about his mom (or, I guess, what happened to his mom), and he was dreaming about his mom at the time
Darkhalo4321
I believe he does make that inference
(is inference the right word?)
Kabocha
Yeah, I think so
But Dark knows all the answers so clearly can't tell us THE TRUTH
Darkhalo4321
yes it is I feel smart
Respheal
The truth is out there
Kabocha
Okay, more seriously though
Darkhalo4321
I c o u l d
Kabocha
I'm not sure Ker wasn't involved in the murder.
Respheal
Nahh
Kabocha
I dunno.
SpazztastiKim
no... :C
Darkhalo4321
he did skip town
Respheal
Antonio would kill Ker if he was 8V
SpazztastiKim
NOOOO
RebelVampire
yeah i agree with res
ker would not be alive right now
or staying in the house
Darkhalo4321
but antonio needs SOMEONE to clean the bathrooms
SpazztastiKim
pffft
Kabocha
Ker probably can't take antonio, honestly
RebelVampire
ker doesnt need to live in the house for that. get a dog house and make ker sleep outside
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2455383/2-9-5/ I feel like Antonio might have suspected Ker's involvement, intentional or not, at one point tho
and clearly Ker has no problems killing rogue apparitions
okay yes he does, but only because Lark's a kid
RebelVampire
i got more the impression that antonio called ker cause he thought ker would actually give him straight answers about certain things going on that he wasnt made privy too. versus necessarily think ker was directly involved
Kabocha
Hm, true.
RebelVampire
ker secretly has lark's bday marked on a calendar so the minute lark turns 18 he can kill lerk with no qualms cause lark is an adult
Kabocha
Okay, revision to the theory then. Ker may have known who was sent out that night to deal with the new Moonlight Apparition. Ker may not have known why someone was sent out, or to where they were sent... But had info, somehow. and then... When he realized what happened, he couldn't face Antonio for 5 years.
SpazztastiKim
ouch...
RebelVampire
that sounds more like ker
at the very least i dont buy ker saying "i vaguely remember"
that is a conversation you would remember XD
Kabocha
Ker probably doesn't want to remember.
Darkhalo4321
Maybe he made himself forget?(edited)
Kabocha
Unless Ker was secretly in some sort of love/hate relationship with Adalaide, and then was in a state of shock when he heard she'd died. (Although it really seems more hate/hate)
RebelVampire
ker got himself one of those jason curses
Kabocha
(so, yanno, no unrequited love shenanigans there, but we can dream)
Respheal
Well, there is memory magic
Kabocha
...Is Ker a puppet?
Is that what you're getting at Res
Respheal
I mean, Dark saying Ker may have made himself forget
Kabocha
Was Ker made to forget so he could easily carry out orders, and being near Antonio is bad news bc it jogs his memory
Respheal
I'm just saying there's a way to do that
Kabocha
shhh
don't stop me from making up crazy conspiracy theories!
Respheal
Although here's a question: Why only Adelaide?
Jason was there
Kabocha
Because Antonio.
Darkhalo4321
Why only jason?
Respheal
I mean like, if Jason was there, why wasn't he killed too?
Sarai
Jason's dream/memory of the event cuts off right at the moment he's threatened by him mom's killer(edited)
Respheal
Instead, he just got the curse on him
RebelVampire
im assuming either they didnt get a chance to get at jason cause he did apparition things or because adelaide was super duper special and therefore had to die(edited)
Respheal
.....What if someone's using Jason
Kabocha
I feel like the killer was interrupted before he could finish the job.
Oh no...
Respheal
Someone needed him alive? :3c
RebelVampire
if i had to pick someone to blame for the murders im gonna pick belial cause belial is one suspicious mofo
Respheal
^
Kabocha
Also his magic and eyes are purple.
Darkhalo4321
Puuuurple
A royal color
Kabocha
I know that logic doesn't make much sense when stated out loud like that, but -- I figure an easy visual hint someone would use (or well, a way to distinguish who cast what) is to tie the magic color back to the magic user.
...UNLESS Purple is just a cursed color.
In which case, Belial is toxic.
Respheal
And if you're going to code someone as having "evil magic", you use red or purple
Kabocha
Or green
Respheal
The danger colors
Darkhalo4321
green is my favorite color. It will never be toxic to meeee
SpazztastiKim
totally toxic
Sarai
but purple IS the color of Jason's curse
Darkhalo4321
:0
SpazztastiKim
purple IS cursed because that's my favorite color
Kabocha
...So, I guess we need to find out if Belial also knows how to use a sword.
crimsonangeltears
It is also my favorite color! But cursed...? I never thought about it.
Kabocha
TBH it's weird that the hunters are working with him or his brother at all.
Respheal
He seems like the type
SpazztastiKim
possibly
Kabocha
I dunno, Belial seems more the type to use a magic sword and use it for blood magic.
....wait
Would that be why the murders happened?
Darkhalo4321
His brother now... thats a fun character >:3c
Kabocha
Some sort of horrific ritual involving the town?
We haven't seen other places enough to know if this is an oddly concentrated population of magic shit.
But... I wonder.
Respheal
Real quick before the next question: re: how powers will affect Jason's life: Hope you weren't plannin' on college, kiddo. Super powers and college don't mix well
RebelVampire
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2637354/6-20/ maybe not jason because i was looking at this page again and the writing that can be read is saying wake up. and while you could argue its a subconscious thing telling jason to wake up from the dream, you could also interpret it as something he heard cause the murderer wanted jason's apparition powers to awaken.
Kabocha
Hmmm...
RebelVampire
super powered jason cant be any worse at college than the thought of robbie at college XD
Respheal
TRUE
RebelVampire
QUESTION 3. Besides the characters, there seems to be a lot going on in regards to the world. Who do you think Jason can trust: the Hunters or Lark? For what reason do you pick that side? Why do you think the other side can’t be trusted? Overall, do you agree with the Hunters’ stance that Phates should be kept secret? In contrast, do you sympathize with Lark’s goals? What crime do you think he’s being hunted for, and why is it secret? Also, what do you think happened to the people Lark is looking for? Finally, what do you think is going on with the Behem Realm in regards to the corruption and can it be fixed? What role might Jason have in regards to that?
Sarai
I DON'T KNOW OK
Kabocha
Honestly? I think Lark's the more trustworthy. The more I talk this out with made-up theories, the less I am really trusting the hunters.
Sarai
this whole situation with hidden information and magican shenanagins is stressing me out
crimsonangeltears
I will say Lark because that sweet child would never hurt my beloved Jason.
Kabocha
I'm sorry, Crow, you poor child, I really can't trust you until you get an anger management class.
SpazztastiKim
-snorts-
trust no one
RebelVampire
jason shouldnt trust anyone. that is the answer. dont trust ppl who have secrets
Respheal
I tend to think both sides are right and wrong :V The Hunters probably didn't explain things well and are probably doing some shady stuff, but Lark proooooobably reacted poorly and got himself in too deep
Also yes
Trust no one lol
SpazztastiKim
@RebelVampire gets it
Sarai
I don't think phates should be kept secret from the general population
Kabocha
Wait.
WAIT
If there are no secrets...
Then the only person we can trust is Robbie.
Respheal
Lark seems to have good intentions, but probably doesn't have the full story
.......lol
SpazztastiKim
@Respheal gets it too yes
Kabocha
I'm sorry, it's TRUE though.
SpazztastiKim
DON'T TRUST ROBBIE ARE YOU NUTS!?
Respheal
It is true and it hurts
Darkhalo4321
robbie is NOT the person you should trust
RebelVampire
robbie is the murderer confirmed
Respheal
because he's Lark's brother
Kabocha
Y'all are saying don't trust people with secrets, and where does that leave us? EVERYONE but Robbie has secrets.
Darkhalo4321
Toby
SpazztastiKim
hmmmmmmm
Darkhalo4321
Toby is a good kid- no secrets
Sarai
with a fire cracker? absolutely not but with the TRUTH????
Darkhalo4321
y e t
Sarai
YES
RebelVampire
im gonna trust antonio. antonio is just a great dad, great businessman, and great taker carer of ker
SpazztastiKim
I trust no one. not even myself... ESPECIALLY myself
Darkhalo4321
-robbie
Respheal
But even Antonio's keepin' secrets :(
Kabocha
If we're going to trust Antonio, it's only because if I don't, he'll kill me if I walk in his yard.
Respheal
Presumably for good (or so he thinks) reason, but....
Darkhalo4321
I'm sure he HAS his reasons
SpazztastiKim
just because there are reasons doesn't mean they're GOOD reasons
Kabocha
Antonio's a parent. Jason is a teenager. In most stories, you can't trust the parents because they're keeping grown-up secrets from their kids.
SpazztastiKim
heh
hehehe
Kabocha
Like, the truth about that college you really wanna go to... It's not happening. I'm sorry. MIT doesn't offer a full ride, Jason. ...Or does it now
anyway point is
You can't even trust JASON
Darkhalo4321
jason sucks at math, what makes you thik he'd get into MIT XD
Kabocha
because he's keeping secrets!
Darkhalo4321
He IS! How RUDE
Kabocha
The one secret I wanna know is how he gets his hair to stand up like that
Darkhalo4321
Ghibli effect
SpazztastiKim
pfft
Darkhalo4321
The wind styles it FOR him
SpazztastiKim
antigravity hair gel
Respheal
He hangs upside down for an hour every morning (actually no this is more of a Robbie thing)(edited)
Kabocha
Jason's never at 100% power because he's using 10% of it to do his hair.
Sarai
maybe he showers before bed and just
lets it dry however it wants
Darkhalo4321
he needs to get it cut. chop chop chop
bye bye fluff
Sarai
no!
crimsonangeltears
So birds don't style his hair?
Kabocha
And then he'll look like a tiny Antonio
Darkhalo4321
he's a regular snow white that kid
RebelVampire
no i already weeped when robbie cut his hair
Kabocha
Crim, are you suggesting that Jason's a disney princess?
Darkhalo4321
wait until he cuts it SHORTER
Kabocha
... Let's count the qualifications
RebelVampire
there needs to be like 1000% more floof for everyone's hair
Respheal
You mean he's not?
Kabocha
He has a bird friend He has a dead mom But can he SING?
Sarai
when jason cuts his hair will he do it in a comb-over(edited)
Darkhalo4321
ACTUALLY
he can sing very well
oh no- I made a disney princess
Respheal
Disney princess confirmed
Darkhalo4321
He's like BELLE because... he loves reading though!
he doesh't get trapped in a castle. but. like...
SpazztastiKim
nerd
Kabocha
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere~
Darkhalo4321
but not this apparition haaaair
RebelVampire
idk jason isnt really singing about he wants more than his provincial life
Kabocha
Jason, when Robbie comes by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INDnS3vIKCU
SpazztastiKim
He's more like... Tiana
Darkhalo4321
Oh because... restaurant, right?
SpazztastiKim
and hard worker... stubborn.... oblivious
Darkhalo4321
robbie probably DID ask Jason to marry him HONESTLY
SpazztastiKim
three times at the very least(edited)
crimsonangeltears
But wait....maybe he's hercules since Ker is training him??
Darkhalo4321
he DID propose to like... 5 nurses
SpazztastiKim
tru
Darkhalo4321
I can GO THE DISTANCE
RebelVampire
i wonder what robbie wouldve done if one of the nurses said yes
Kabocha
I'm into the Hercules version of Jason. If only because it means Cathy and Melodie are probably muses
SpazztastiKim
HA
Darkhalo4321
Heck yeah!
Melodie has the moves for that!
SpazztastiKim
TRUTH
Kabocha
Welp.
Darkhalo4321
So The Behem realm
crimsonangeltears
Will there be a musical chapter?
RebelVampire
its probably fine. corruption always fixes itself O_O
Darkhalo4321
how would I comic that?... a musical chapter? When the anime happens, I'll have one made!
Kabocha
I still can't help but think that Crow's some sort of shapeshifter or werewolf... Behem... Behemoth... Plus Crow's propensity to growl like some sort of very angry dog...
RebelVampire
if crow isnt a werewolf i will be surprised
Respheal
I am 100% on board with that theory
RebelVampire
cause theres been enough refs to imply it is so
Darkhalo4321
I mean... He takes commands rather well when threatened- so-
dog training?
Kabocha
Crow doesn't listen to Julie real well tho
SpazztastiKim
he tries
RebelVampire
i think how the behem realm is being dealt with is a major reason jason shouldnt trust the hunters. cause while i dont think the hunters are evil persay, i think in their pursuit to do the good they bend ethics waaaaaay too far(edited)
Darkhalo4321
Julie needs to talk louder-
SpazztastiKim
He is basically a puppy
be loud and RIGHT THERE, then he'll pay attention
Darkhalo4321
yeaaaah- wonder why they have a phate trapped in a glass jar in a makeshift lab
SpazztastiKim
spooky
Kabocha
.... Do the stooges know about that
Darkhalo4321
they might
they might not
>:3c
Kabocha
@RebelVampire -- d'ya think the state of Behem might be related to Jason?
what if Jason's unintentionally an avatar of destruction?
SpazztastiKim
why... did that make me giggle so much?!
RebelVampire
i mean id believe it. sorry jason.
Kabocha
This tiny cinnamon roll of a child -- really there because he's a sign of end times.
RebelVampire
you are destined to destroy all that you love
except antonio
Kabocha
With Antonio as his dad, I'd really believe it.
Darkhalo4321
Yeah, I've been forbidden by many to NOT kill antonio
SpazztastiKim
indeed
Darkhalo4321
which means I probably should kill him, right?
Kabocha
Jason can become a razor-sharp weapon of death... But when it comes to his father, they walk side-by-side into the end.
SpazztastiKim
I did threaten to fly over there and shoot you with something. Do I have to again?(edited)
Sarai
it means you should NOT
Darkhalo4321
D:
RebelVampire
no dark this means the opposite. this means antonio needs 10 layers of plot armor
Darkhalo4321
fine fine he's safe... for now
RebelVampire
and when you pretend to kill him it turns out antonio faked his death and it was his plan all along
SpazztastiKim
I have MULTIPLE Nerf guns Halo...(edited)
Kabocha
oh noooo
Darkhalo4321
He'll eat a potato chip and go just as planned
Kabocha
Live footage of Dark, plotting out the story https://tenor.com/6zEs.gif
SpazztastiKim
^^^
Darkhalo4321
you forgot to add in the part where I plot as horrible implications are made known to me
>:3c fu fu fu
Kabocha
. . . So uh.
RebelVampire
i do think jason is tied to the corruption in all seriousness
Kabocha
Anyone got new horrible implications to point out?
I'd agree with you on that, Rebel.... Hold on, I feel like there's visual evidence
Darkhalo4321
oh?
Kabocha
Oh, no nevermind
I was like, "I remember that shot of the blocked off Behem realm being foresty," and linked it to Jason's dream where he got the Rosary... But they don't look similar at all.
But what seems to be a gate(????) to the realm has the same kind of creeping blackness as was surrounding Jason and the corrupted shade
RebelVampire
as far as im concerned the only evidence we need is that jason has amnesia and all the events tie back to the massacre
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2663394/6-32-chapter-end/ http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2637351/6-18/ But I'm not sure if that's just Dark's visual shorthand for "dark magic"
So file this under "more evidence needed, but I'm choosing to believe they're tied together somehow"
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2017341/2-10/ Also, apparently the Jason = Apparition user has been hidden from the hunters for a while... So, I wonder if Jason changed that night, corrupted the Behem realm with his awakening (somehow -- maybe it was just some sort of casting in place from the previous apparition user), and then got home after horrific things happened, only to have his mother murdered
The problem with this is, we don't know how casting this sort of stuff works yet, so I don't know if Jason's been in proximity TO the Behem realm if it requires that he physically be there to affect it.
Darkhalo4321
He's a wot? He's an apparition antonio-
Kabocha
So, I think until shown otherwise, if Jason's power is linked to Behem's state... Jason's probably a symptom of the problem, more than the cause??
RebelVampire
to be fair though we cant say for sure the corruption even started in the behem realm can we?
cause it couldve started elsewhere and thats just the first notable place it hit in its spread
Kabocha
true -- it could have been Belial starting shit, and it spread like a wildfire.
RebelVampire
belial please, observe proper fire control procedures at least(edited)
Kabocha
never
Darkhalo4321
a forest fire to burn all the... evidence...
blame it on teens using the beehive burner as a party spot
just as planned
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2663394/6-32-chapter-end/ Also, I wonder why Julie cares so much about the Behem realm? I know you don't need to have a link to a place to care, but... I feel like she has more than just Crow.
RebelVampire
QUESTION 4. Jason isn’t the only character in the comic with secrets. Do you think there are any significant things that Toby might know from the past that are sealed from Jason? If so, what and how will that affect his and Jason’s relationship? What do you think the story is with Robbie and how Jason ended up his friend? Why won’t Jason tell Toby the circumstances, and why is Robbie’s situation with Jason significant? Also, will the relationship between Jason and Melodie develop, or is it doomed to the status quo? Moving to other characters, how do you think Ker came upon his eye and the ability to use Fae magic? How might this event be influencing his choices and position with the Hunters? Last, what is going on with Belial, and what do you think this means for the story?
Kabocha
To be honest, when we found out that Robbie just kind of appeared in their friend group one day, I half expected that Robbie would be part of Jason? Like, that whole part of Jason that got separated out when he developed amnesia, but then the curse was introduced, and it was like... "nah"
Darkhalo4321
Eh- but you have to think back to Annette and Jason's conversation on the back porch-
Respheal
I've had a theory for a while that Robbie may have attempted suicide.... Mostly fueled by "Are you suicidal?!" "Yes?" and the references to Robbie being in a hospital
And that's probably how they met? 'cuz Jason's sister is a nurse?
Kabocha
Yeah...
RebelVampire
itd make sense cause theres a lot of rumors surrounding robbie and well...rumors lead to bullying >_>
Respheal
And that conversation between Jason and his sister was very......real
"is he okay?"
Kabocha
Robbie's a good egg who decided if he was going to be talked about, he may as well give them something to talk about
RebelVampire
and itd actually explain robbie's sort of cavalier attitude. cause if hes actually depressed than he doesnt care about his safety
thus jumps on well covers
Darkhalo4321
when Inspector Toby says "lets not stand on this-"
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2222484/1-17/ Toby's pretty cavalier about risking Robbie for Jason's sake tho
Respheal
And why Jason, being the good kid he is, doesn't drop Robbie like a brick when he's consistently crass
Darkhalo4321
if he don't care about his safety, why should he?
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2222492/1-21/ Because Jason cares
RebelVampire
well yeah, why would toby pick robbie over his best friend? XD
Respheal
I'm still mad at Robbie about the cafeteria scene lol
punk
Darkhalo4321
in the redraw I think I made it worse, but less directed...
if that's possible...even
Kabocha
Toby seemed to join in on it in those pages tho
Toby, why are you so mean to Mel. XD
what did she do to you
Darkhalo4321
Toby-... t o b y
sighs Toby- He's such a complicated nooooodle
RebelVampire
i just assumed robbie acted that way because thats how he handles socially awkward situations he doesnt want to be a part of. and his go to mode is "be a jackass"
Kabocha
.... Mel tried to be friendly, Toby didn't take her being friendly very well because it was a bad day, Mel continued to pester A grudge began
RebelVampire
for the cafeteria scene that is
Kabocha
Well, no, I mean, that could be their history XD
But yes, Robbie being a jackass is default, I think
"I don't know what to do, so go away" only he can't say those words
because then he looks weak
Darkhalo4321
truuue
RebelVampire
toby is a complicated noodle tho. i cant decide if he can be trusted or not. cause he seems honest but then at the same time he feels like he has a secret skeleton closet of secrets
Darkhalo4321
but, Toby Melodie and Jason have been friends for a while now-
his room DOES have a closet Hmmmm
Respheal
When Jason mentioned he had started remembering things, Toby looked like he was ready to whack Jason upside the head if it'd bring on the amnesia again
A definite "nope nope nope bad don't remember" sort of expression
Darkhalo4321
yeah, bad things happen when that... happened...
Kabocha
Maybe Toby has a secret he needs to hide.
Respheal
What are you hiding?
Darkhalo4321
MAYBE
cue law and order theme
Kabocha
Or at least, that was my impression during that first time, but when it was mentioned that Jason gets hospitalized...
It was like, hm, okay. Toby's not suspicious I guess.
Darkhalo4321
f o r n o w
Kabocha
Unless he was that other figure in the bg of that dream
Darkhalo4321
:0
is Toby the contracteee?
Kabocha
Part of the contract, maybe XD
crimsonangeltears
I gotta leave the chat guys, sorry! (gotta make dinner) Thank you for including me!
Sarai
bye! thanks for joining us!!
RebelVampire
thank you for comin @crimsonangeltears ~!
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2637351/6-18/ <- this page, first panel, 3 figures, just fyi
Darkhalo4321
Thanks for coming Crimson! makes yummy food for your family!
Kabocha
Have a good night Crim~!
RebelVampire
ok so it wasnt just me. i tots thought toby's reaction to jason's memories returning was super suspicious
and like he was ready to flee the country
Kabocha
well, if Jason is linked to the destruction of realms
wouldn't you?
Darkhalo4321
there is a lot about the APPARITIONS the hunters DONT KNOW sooo
Kabocha
that's why they want Lark
to counteract Jason.
Darkhalo4321
>;3c
RebelVampire
why only get one when you can have both tho?
Kabocha
They don't want him dead, but captured if possible. Because even if he dies, that power will reappear, yeah? but Lark's like, "Yeah, nah, I'm fine with the world ending."
Darkhalo4321
I'm surprised no one has brought up the lab... with lark...
Kabocha
Well
It's still new-ish information
Darkhalo4321
True-
Kabocha
We don't know who had the forest lab under their control yet, or am I forgetting something
maybe they had all those kids to test corruption on
Test subjects for Belial's brother~
'cause eventually, you need human subjects.
Darkhalo4321
I mean- they are keeping phates in jars so-
Kabocha
Nari was sacrificed for the sake of the Behem realm!
Darkhalo4321
shes a homuraaaa
or a madoka?
Kabocha
Neither
she's Sayaka
Darkhalo4321
THERE we go
RebelVampire
i dont have enough info to theorize on the lab. cause i got more the impression the kids were at a training facility for the hunters than a lab and that the lab came later.
Kabocha
But uh... There were theories on Dark's server about Mr. Grimr...
RebelVampire
maybe theyre pulling an fma and when lark finds nari shes gonna be fused with a phate
Kabocha
Ahahaha oh no
NO
REBEL NO
Respheal
WHY
Kabocha
Don't give Dark ideas!
Darkhalo4321
... l- lark?
>:3c
Kabocha
Lark-oniichan...
SpazztastiKim
S-stop?(edited)
Sarai
ENOUGH
Kabocha
We have found the limit, and it is Nina jokes.
Sarai
I can't take nina jokes in two servers gosh darn it
SpazztastiKim
that will ALWYAS be the limit
Sarai
^^^
Darkhalo4321
this will be the hill I die on
Kabocha
Okay, but seriously, Mr. Grimr has purple eyes.
Is he Belial's bro
Darkhalo4321
:0
Sarai
he might be
Darkhalo4321
purple, and purple makes a connection-
SpazztastiKim
nothing but pain
Kabocha
I mean
we have yet to see ... What was her name?
Sassypants?
Darkhalo4321
he knows stuff
Kabocha
Sizzlebritches?(edited)
Darkhalo4321
YES
XD
Respheal
"her"(edited)
Kabocha
So, I guess we're going to have a scene of this comic in a strip club.
Respheal
WHO
Darkhalo4321
d... did you not
oh dear
Kabocha
Dark, if you skimp out on the bright colored lights, I'll be sad.
Darkhalo4321
my google search history is going to ask questions kabo
Kabocha
Just look up sterotypical pictures from Vegas
it'll be fine
Or watch Showgirls (don't watch showgirls, it's not really good)
RebelVampire
vegas is basically one big strip club
Darkhalo4321
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2616663/6-12/
@Respheal
That's WHO
Respheal
Oh
I uh
I actually meant who's the 'her' Grimr is referring to
Darkhalo4321
I felt very clever about the name.

Darkhalo4321
he just... misses her and regrets his bloody murdering ness or... something
Kabocha
http://moonlightapparition.smackjeeves.com/comics/2685206/7-5/ Lark is fine if the world ends because Nari isn't in it.
Respheal
The red was actually his hair dye
Darkhalo4321
yes
Kabocha
That's why he wants Jason.
FREE NARI, OR I SET HIM UPON YOU
RebelVampire
lark please. what you do is be the distraction and have jason sneak in. cause they wont be expecting jason and thus jason has the element of surprise to wreck their stuff
Darkhalo4321
Jason can barely transform guys, he'd just go in and start screaming XD
might as well SEND ROBBIOE
actually... That would work.He can seduce the guards see.
RebelVampire

The Adventures of Stalwart Soul, Ch8: Chocobo Knight
It was good to be back home. Where the trees were not-so-tall, and the rivers didn’t have the ugly blue monsters with the blue bubbles babies on the back. He did not like those monsters. He was glad the home-forest did not have those monsters.
Best of all, there was no cold white. His feet stayed nice and warm.
And he was excited. He knew this part of the home-forest. This is where the big-man lived, who taught him things to protect his little master. He had not liked the big-man at first, but they were friends now. He was happy to see his friend again. And he wanted to show the big-man the new trick he learned.
“Hah! Well looky this – he’s hoverin’!”
Talathar nodded, her rueful smile belying her pride in the little choco. “Yes, he is. Was trainin’ fer flyin’ in Tailfeather, in the Chocobo Forest.”
“FLYING?” the big Roe exclaimed, shocked. “D’ye mean like them Isgardian birds?”
She nodded again. “Uh huh. An’ he’s able ta fly out there. But not here. Something ‘bout having ta find all the aether flows an’ understandin th’ wind currents, an’ stuff. But th’ compass the trainer gave, it doesn’t work here. Only in Ishgard, maybe.” She shrugged. She knew a little about how aether flows worked inside the body, for healing; she did not pretend to know about how they affected wind patterns, or a chocobo’s ability to fly.
“Huh, maybe. Or maybe th’ Elementals just dun want no snooty Ishgardians putterin’ ‘round in the Shroud, an’ pissin’ off th’ dragons. Last thing we’re needin’, mad dragons tryin’ ta set the forest afire. Ah well, I’m thinkin’ ‘tis best not all yon bird-brains learn ta fly, anyroad. Too craven, some are. Bad enough ta chase ‘em ‘round here on th’ ground, but if they could fly? Gah, I’ll not be chasin’ ‘em, I promise ya.”
After a few more moments, Stalwart plopped down for a landing, looking immensely pleased with himself. With a chuckle, Thundering Oak ruffled the bird’s head roughly, laughing when the chocobo pulled away and head-butted the Roe’s hip, forcing the big man to take a step back.
“Hah! No, not you, Stal,” he assured the bird. “Yer as bold an’ brave as ever, aye?”
“Kweh!”
Talathar rolled his eyes. “Yes, Stal is very brave. Sometimes too brave.”
“Oh? Is he causin’ ya some trouble?” He eyed the small choco, who stared back at him boldly, clearly not intimidated.
“Only sometimes,” she explained, rolling her eyes. “When I was sparrin’ a bit, in the yard, an’ he managed ta get out of the stable. Guess he didn’t recognize Kory in her trainin armor? Anyroad, he just saw her hittin at me with a big stick, an’ tried ta knock her down.”
Thundering Oak grinned. “Your sister, aye? The Roe lass, trained wi’ th’ blade an’ shield?”
Tala nodded. “He scratched her shield, an’ bit her arm, ‘fore I could call him off. Looked real ashamed, when she took off her helm, an’ he saw it was Kory.”
“I remember how he came after me th’ same way, when ya bumped inta me, that first time!” the big Roe laughed, and ruffled the small bird’s head crest again. “Always goin’ after th’ big, bad Roe, ain’t ya, ya little shite!”
“Kweh! Kweh!” The chocobo protested, flapping his wings in playful display.
They shared a laugh together.
“Still,” the big man mused, “Yer right, lass. That could get ‘im inta trouble, down the road. So first off, I’ve a question fer ye. How serious are ya bein, ‘bout yer trainin?”
The small lala grimaced. “Kory is right – is better I learn how ta keep myself safe without usin’ the aether flows. Right now, am just trainin’ with the staff, mostly. Kory has me learnin’ a bit with the sword too. But armor is heavy.”
Oak grinned. “Aye, ‘tis a heavy burden. But, iffen ‘tis a fighter yer plannin’ ta be, we’ll have ta teach Stal ta work wi’ ye better, up close. ‘Til now, he’s been trained ta keep yer foes close ta him, while ye toss yer aether attacks at ‘em from afar. Is a wee bit different with ya being up in th’ bugger’s faces too, ye ken.”
She nodded understanding.
“Alright. So, first, we’ll find some bugger for ya to beat on, an’ we’ll see ‘bout teachin yer Stal here a few new tricks. First off, how ta not attack ‘til ye call ‘im ta.” He eyed the bird again, and added sternly, “WHICH I’m thinkin’ we taught ye already, but seems ye forgot. Meanin’ I’ll have ta teach ye again, ye daft birdy. An’ I’ll be makin’ sure ye’ll nae be forgettin’ yer lessons again!”
Stalwart looked away.
__________
The big-man was teaching him again. That was good. He liked to learn new things.
But it was also bad. Because it meant the big-man yelled at him a lot. He didn’t like that very much.
It was also different. This new kind of fighting was different. Because now it was not just him learning to fight, while his little master stayed in the back. Now he had to learn to fight with his little master right next to him. And he had to not protect.
It was different. It was hard. The big-man was bigger than him. And he was bigger than his little master. But she was standing there, and the big-man’s friends were hitting her with sticks, but he wasn’t allowed to protect. He wanted to run in, to push them away, but he wasn’t supposed to. Not until she called him.
And when she did call him, he wasn’t allowed to push them away, push them back. His little master would not back away. Instead, the big-man had them both fighting together.
He was confused. He didn’t understand.
So he’d break away, rush in. Flap his wings, rake the air with his talons. And then they would stop, and the big-man would yell at him. And his little master would scold him, and take him back to the same spot next to the big-man, and tell him to wait. And they would start again.
He was confused.
He didn’t get yelled at if he waited. But he would get yelled at if he tried to push his little master back. He wasn’t allowed to do that. The big-man wanted him to let her fight, too. Not from the back. In the front.
After a while, he understood a little better.
It was just like him. He was smaller than the bigger chocobos. He was smaller than the mean bird-men things that tried to hurt him, or the dragons, or the bears. But he still fought. He still protected. He was not afraid. He did not run. Being smaller was ok. But he couldn’t be afraid. And he had to show them he wasn’t afraid. That he wouldn’t run away and be picked on. He would be brave.
It was the same for his little master. She was smaller, yes. But she wasn’t afraid. And just like him, she had to show them she wasn’t afraid.
And the big-man showed him – he didn’t have to protect her from everything. But he could still protect her. He could make sure they didn’t sneak up behind her, or if there were too many. He learned to understand to fight the thing she told him to fight. And he learned to fight better, and keep an eye on his little master, so that they didn’t bump into each other, or accidentally hurt each other.
It was hard. But he learned.
__________
“Alright, yer all done!” the big Roe shouted, at the group who had just ended their sparring session. He clapped the small chocobo on the shoulder, and nodded respectfully at the small lala beside the bird. “Good teamwork!”
“Stal is much better,” she noted tiredly, then quietly thanked their opponents, fellow volunteer Adders training as well. They waved as they made their way back to other tasks, a few pausing to pat the still-energetic chocobo to offer their encouragement.
”Aye. Takin’ orders now, an’ nae runnin’ pell-mell inta th’ fray, all flyin’ feathers an’ crazed,” Thundering agreed, with a grin of approval. “I’m thinkin’ ‘tis ready now, he’s bein.”
“Hmm…?” Tala blinked at their trainer.
“Heh, I’ve a present fer ‘im. I think ‘twill be ta his liking.” He pulled a large leather bag over towards the pair and plopped it to the ground, and started rummaging through it. It made a clanking noise, which caught Stal’s attention, even as Thundering pulled a shiny object out of the sack. He plopped the thing on Stal’s head.
It was a metal helmet.
“Sir Stalwart!” he announced, laughing.
Talathar smacked an open palm over her face and groaned.
__________
It was a little heavy. But shiny! He looked like those fancy warriors who jumped up high and fought dragons. Or stomped around Ul’dah looking important. He felt strong, and brave, and fierce.
He flapped his wings and preened.
“KWEH!”
“Yes, Stal,” Talathar agreed, indulging her choco’s understandable pride at his new outfit. The barding really did look good on him.
Thundering Oak assured her that it wasn’t just parade barding; it would be used in the field as well. Although the metal was lightweight, it offered additional protection, and at least on land would not hinder the small bird much in a real fight. He wasn’t as sure about how it might affect a flying chocobo, however.
But Tala didn’t think she’d deck Stal out in his shiny gear if they were going to fly out there. And anyroad, for now they were back home. She wasn’t sure when they’d be heading out again – Mam and Kori were discussing the possibilities of requesting passage into Ishgard for trade. She wasn’t sure at this point what they intended to do.
So for now, at least, she’d let Stal strut his new outfit, Hopefully, he’d get tired of it soon enough.
She hoped.
