So I started a run of bg3 to romance astarion cause he's such a sassy dickwad, and I love him, but then. I actually Met Karlach In Game.
And apparently by not hitting on her during the night you get that option... I went back and can't sleep with her now... And just. Oof.
She's just. So much Taller. And bigger. And her HAIR , and the horns, and she's chaotic but a sweetheart and astarion is a douche.
But dear fuck I want to climb that red woman like a tree.
I've never climbed a tree!
But for her I would make a SPIRITED EFFORT.

You know, it's occured to me I've never seen someone take some of the 'unsure' options during Astarion's first proposition towards you and the sex scene in the woods. Like. There's a few points in those conversations where there's a definite yes and no answer, but there's a hmm idk and I'm very curious whether he gets annoyed at the players/loses interest or whether he tries to coax them.

Still playing Skyrim. And I’m interested to report that the game is actually better than I remember, on balance. But I’m kind of fascinated by what’s going on with Lydia, mechanically and narratively.
Lydia is the first follower who gets shoved in your face just by virtue of following the main quest. There are others you can pick up earlier, but not without finishing errands (for Faendal and Sven), by forking up a pretty big chunk of change for the early game by hiring Janessa, or by going out of your way in some other manner. If you’re completely new to the game and you’re just powering through the main story as it’s presented, she’s the first option for a follower that the game highlights for you in giant blinking neon lights. And as a quest reward, she’s mechanically kind of a godsend at that point in the story; a doubling of carry capacity, an excellent meat shield and distraction, a way to extract utility from weapons and armor you don’t want to use yourself. More subjectively she provides the impression of a stalwart ally or companion in what can be a very lonely worldspace to exist in. There’s very little reason not to take her with you, and once you have her, the majority of companions being equal, there’s very little reason to get rid of her until she stops level scaling.
Despite the mechanical utility Lydia provides at a crucial point, and the resultant likelyhood that you’ll haul her along for the ride, she’s only a couple steps up from the companion cube. She has no specific, non-fungible impact on the narrative beyond demonstrating Jarl Balgruuf’s favor. Her deferral to you is automatic; if someone is actively paying her a salary to help you defile graves, cut deals with every deity on the continent and invade the afterlife, it sure as hell isn’t you. It isn’t clear what her gig under Balgruuf was before she was assigned to you. She has no personal narrative. She has no personal side quest. One of her biggest inklings of personality is when she expresses vague dissatisfaction with being treated as a pack mule, but then she does it anyway.  She’s party to world-shaking events and political upheavals, but she’s present purely in her capacity as your appendix, so reality simply treats her as your plus-one. 
She’ll block doors you’re trying to get through, and she’ll get mad at you if you push her out of the way. She’ll charge into battle or set off traps while you’re trying to sneak. She’ll microaggress you with stock Nord dialogue while pulverizing your enemies, a plurality of whom are also Nords. She’ll distract bosses long enough to buy you breathing room for a healing spell or a potion. You’ll kill her by accident with an ill-timed area-of-effect spell, roll your eyes, and, ultimately, probably reload your save. Because she might only be a couple steps up from a companion cube, but the whole gag with the companion cube is how ridiculously low the threshold is for the audience to get genuinely attached to something in a video game. A thin character invites apophenia. Behaviors that are purely downstream of dev thoughtlessness will still imply character traits if taken at Watsonian Face Value. In this case, inexplicable undying loyalty, reserved comments on impressive landmarks, and comical stoicism in the face of some of the weirdest events it’s conceptually possible to encounter.  So here’s to weird, underbaked companions in Bethesda Games, and everything we can project onto the void they provide. And Here’s to that related genus of character- units in squad-based tactics or management-sim games with permadeath mechanics who last long enough and accumulate enough equipment, skill points, etc. that they become your Special Little Guy despite otherwise lacking any deliberate character traits.

Chapter 6 Part 3 + Major System Public Update! 🎉
Tumblr media
Hello everyone! 👋 It's finally time for the public update! 😁 This update brings in 24K of new words, bringing Chapter 6 wordcount in total to 89.4K words and the total demo wordcount to 325.3K words! This update brings Chapter 6 to a neat close, which is important because to me, Chapter 6 is like the end of the first arc of the book. 
Not only that, but I have also added a few major coding functions with this update, namely, a skip chapter function, and an autosave and reload function. I'm aware that my demo is getting longer, so I assume a skip chapter function might  be a welcome addition. 
It took me a long time to plan and figure out how to implement these systems, but in the end, after a lot of personal testing, I have finally managed to make them work.
WARNING: It's highly advised that you either play from the beginning with clean saves (or try out the new skip chapter function). I messed with some of the old variables as well, including Santana's and Skylar's default relationship values. Do not reload the saves to avoid potential future errors.
What's to expect from the new update:
Dropping Rin off to their apartment (and maybe, if you've been a good boy/girl, you can get a little smooch 😘)
Have an angsty talk with Uncle Luka 😥
But don't worry, there are potential wholesome moments too (if you choose them, of course 😉)
Another POV of the killer 😈 To see more on how they think and what they know so far.
Brand new skip chapter function! (Currently only for Chapter 6)
An autosave and reload function! (Currently only for Chapter 6)
Plus some new little stuff added in previous chapters.
New stuff added to previous chapters:
Chapter 2: Add proper introduction scene with Ivan and Boris, the twin bodyguards, highlighting their different personalities and their relationship with MC and Ash. They have changed quite a lot and become more fleshed out compared to the first time I wrote them.
Chapter 4: For MCs who said yes to Yvette when she asked them whether they are interested in becoming a Superhero, you now have the option to accept her guidance and reconnect with her or reject her guidance but still have a choice whether to reconnect with her or not. This is in contrast to how those who said yes was forced to reconnect with her.
Chapter 6: Meddle, fix, and add some background variables. Another reason to play from the beginning and to not load old saves.
Also, I have a side story just released on both Patreon and Ko-Fi and a spicy one coming really soon! I'm also still opening ideas/suggestions for this month's side stories until November 11th and then after that, we'll have our polls! So if you're also interested in supporting me while also getting these exclusive contents, please do consider becoming a member! 💖🥰

My Mother Plays Baldur's Gate: Part 5
Summary: My retired mom is having me play Baldur's Gate 3 on her behalf because she has trouble using controllers/keyboards but still wants to "smooch the wizard boy." She is playing a neutral chaotic good wood elf druid; this is a detailed account of her crimes. Part 1 & 2 Part 3 Part 4
Sorry for the long break! Life got super busy for a second there. We're about 30-40% of the way through Act 3, and we finished up some companion quest lines and started making some plans to kill Gortash and Orin.
Here's what happened during yesterday's game session:
Scratch gave us an iron bowl at camp. My mom assumed this was somehow plot relevant, so she had me carry it around everywhere because "we might need it." I am not allowed to sell the bowl. She is a druid and her carrying capacity is still garbage. I suffer.
She LOVES Gale’s new kiss animations. I  tasked with smooching him before we leave camp every single time. Even if I just stop by to switch out a party member, I still have to kiss him goodbye. (And pet the animals, obviously.)
We accidentally blew up Volo outside the Steel Watch foundry with a poorly-placed Ice Storm that nicked the edge of the explosive barrels. His corpse was charred and unrecognizable, and my mom was distraught. She demanded to know why I blew him up, so I reminded her that casting Ice Storm was HER idea. We saved him the second time.
Cazador accidentally won his fight several times because we kept rolling dogshit initiative and got zapped by status effects before we could move an inch. The first time Astarion got turned to paste in the ritual, my mom nearly leapt out of her seat. (“RELOAD RIGHT NOW, HONEY.”) We killed Cazador on the fifth attempt, the rotten bastard.
My mom was locked in for the Iron Throne mission. The turn limit really freaked her out, and she kept second-guessing my choices every time I made a move because she was so nervous I was wasting time. I had to gently remind her that I’ve done this mission literally dozens of times. (We got everyone out with a whole turn to spare. Pfffft.)
Got the wavemother robe. I put it on Gale because I thought my mom would love it, but she was actually horrified because he “might catch a cold.” She robe is now somewhere in the camp stash next to all the spoons, iron tongs, and rags. It will probably never be found again. 
Saved the Gondians, and Mom now rides the “fuck Wulbren Bongle” hate train. Shout-out to my boy Barcus!
After watching the conclusion of The Pale Elf quest line (Astarion did NOT ascend, thank you), my mom quietly said, “I hope that actor knows how perfect he is as Astarion. What a wonderful man.” I had the pleasure of informing her that Neil Newbon won Best Performance at the Game Awards for his role. Congrats Neil Newbon, my mom is super proud of you!
Hoping to get together with my mom again soon and make some more progress through Act III. She told me to thank you for all your kind words of support!

RIKI’S GAM3 BO1 : LEVEL ONE ⊱ hop on fortnite xd (0.9k)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You took a seat in your gaming chair after gathering snacks from the kitchen, spinning around with your arms filled with the said snacks. 
“I’m back.” You announced, alerting Sakura who struggled to open the gaming app. 
For some reason, you managed to convince her to download Fortnite a while ago, yet it was never touched by her or anyone who used the PC.
“Hey, (Name)... how do I launch Fortnite?” She asked, head turned to the camera but her eyes stayed on the screen she sat before. 
The lighting the screen emitted was dark, shielding basic features that were scattered across her face as she clicked away at any button possible. You placed your final snack—a bag of Sour Patch Kids—on the leftover space of your desk, then looked at her with furrowed brows.
“You don’t know how to do at least that?” You questioned. You were shocked. That should at least be the easiest part of playing Fortnite.
She shook her head with a sheepish smile as you laughed. You don’t blame her though, she was never one to game, anyway. 
After explaining the basics to her as well as showing her how to join your party and ready up, you two hopped into the Battle Royale as a duo. Knowing Sakura, she would’ve been afraid to fight against anyone. It was obvious you would have to be by her side 24/7. You prayed that you could at least make it further than #99 place. With your skills compared to hers, there was at least a 25% chance.
“What’s a small shield?” She asked, genuinely confused. You sighed, telling her the answer as you gathered materials for any building that would need to be done later. 
If you couldn’t fight one-on-one, you could at least build until you found a chance to attack.
You two left Classy Courts, making your way down to Reckless Railways with the hope you wouldn’t get attacked. There were 56 players—excluding you and Sakura—left in the match. It wouldn’t be that bad to die now, but it could at least save you some embarrassment if you didn’t.
“Okay, get out of the car.” You instructed as Sakura followed through. She was definitely getting the hang of this. 
“Be careful, someone might be nearby—wait, there’s footsteps.” You said, panning your camera around to locate the culprit. Sakura’s question of what footsteps were in the game went unnoticed by you due to how focused you were.
She stayed put and panned her screen around too, pausing a few times in between due to her rookie fingers, hoping that she was at least helping you with something. 
“There!” You exclaimed, placing a danger marker immediately and shooting over at them. They missed a few of their shots as you did the same, constantly jumping around while reloading your guns to dodge their bullets. 
Sakura stood there but began jumping around once she saw you doing it yourself. Hopefully, this will keep her alive for now.
You zoomed in, shooting the said player, receiving the satisfying comment of knocking them out as you cheered in amusement. You were glad that you knocked them out, but that still meant their teammate could be nearby.
Once again, footsteps appeared on your screen from behind, causing you to turn around immediately while regaining your composure. There wasn’t anyone behind you which didn’t fail to confuse you. The footsteps then moved above your head, signalling that the player was in front of you.
But where?
Suddenly, gunshots rang out all over your screen as you took immense damage. You were already quite injured from the first fight, so there was a low chance you would survive this one.
The player jumped off of the roof, landing a shot straight at your head, causing you to be knocked out immediately. 
“Oh my gosh,” Sakura gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. “(Name)!” She exclaimed, making her way towards you, pickaxe swinging back and forth as if it would make her move faster. 
“You have guns right, Kura? Shoot them!” You said while watching her with attentive eyes. The same player from before shot your character, causing your body to become a reboot card and explode with different materials you held.
Sakura panicked, she didn’t know what to do. She switched to her gun, attempting to shoot at the player but missing completely. 
It was only one shot. What happened to the others? 
“How do I shoot for a second time?” She asked, pausing. You sighed, rubbing at your temples with your index fingers. There was no hope in a battle like this one. You whispered for her to just let them kill her character and she frowned but quickly gave in. Less fighting for her.
The end credits appeared on your screen, showcasing your stats and how much XP you got from that match. As you scanned through your rewards, music began to play out of nowhere.
Where could that possibly be coming from? Great question—your screen.
Your eyes widened at the player emoting above your materials. It was obvious they knew both of you were spectating them, emoting as if the day would never end. You swore you felt your eye twitch at the sight. It was aggravating.
Very aggravating. 
You looked at the username, screenshotting it immediately. There was no way you’d let them get away with this one.

Mother and child... They are nearly as tall as her because of their ears...
Also here's all the Steamworks Clovers, only for Pacifist/Neutral because I. just straight up forgot to work on No Mercy (yes, I know I'm taking a break right now, but this was very much required since otherwise I'd have a Demonic Goober right now (You're red now! That's my attack!))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also I managed to change the palette to let Clover look like that in game, so once I make my Dunes Caves variant then I'll be good to go. Oh and the No Mercy Mask, I need that too. Anyways time to reset so I can get both done at once! Sorry Ceroba, but you will have no chance to save Kanako now (I managed to find a way to keep this save so I can always go back to it, I'll give you this chance again... maybe)
Oh yeah, another thing I might add, but I realized I'm basically gonna have to do a whole story rewrite since Clover's no longer a human, so that'll be fun. On the upside I also had the idea of letting you make the Acid again after you use it on the door (if you try drinking it beforehand, Flowey will just panic kill you instead of reloading like normal, death quote will probably be "Sorry! I panicked! Well, guess I have to reload now."), and it'll be a full heal like the Gunpowder. Clover's two most favoritest things to consume... Let's see if I can actually add it in
YOOO THEYRE PINK NOW!!! dude this palette looks so GOOD i love it so much
ALSO YOURE DOING A REQRITE OF THE STORY TOO!??? WHAT THE HELLL THATS SO MUCH….. ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT AGDHSJ
finally what we wanted. healing acid

Stay (Dean Winchester x OFC)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Original Female Character Rating: PG-13 for swearing and mentions of sex. Summary: Dean and Avery have a two-night stand, and after that weekend, they go their separate ways. They never expected to see each other again, but the universe has other plans. A/N: Guys, where do I even begin? It’s been ages. I miss you. I see your messages, your likes, your reblogs. Thank you. Here’s this. I wrote a lot of it on my phone, so bear with me if there are typos.
It just goes like this, doesn't it?
One night where the both of them could let go of expectations, of being who the universe was making them be. One night.
But just like they knew they didn't have a choice but to be who the universe wanted them to be, they should have known the universe would pull the absolute worst April Fool's Day prank of all time.
They gape at each other, minds racing as images of tangled sheets, open mouths, and moonlit smiles come flooding back.
The task at hand doesn't let them linger too long.
She's firing with military precision, and he's right there with her, sweat dripping down his jaw as he reloads round after round, wondering if the universe put them both here to die together.
But then Sam shows up, like he always does. He saves them both, and the three of them save the day.
It takes longer for Dean to work up the courage to look her in her eyes. He feels-- he feels ashamed somehow, that he let her go that rainy Sunday morning.
There was never an argument or anything. They both just knew it was time. She had said she had to catch a flight and get back to work, and he lied and told her he had to do the same thing.
They had two nights of connection, of passion, but also of affection. He told her things he never told anyone. They spent a Saturday night fully clothed, eating take out straight from the containers in a hotel's king-sized bed. He felt comfortable with her like he hadn't felt with anyone in years.
And yeah, it sucked when she left. He sort of hoped there'd be a knock on the door saying she missed her flight, but he wasn't sad. They both knew what they were signing up for when they met at the bar that Friday night, eyes only for each other.
Still, he thinks he's remembered her kiss every day since.
He still thinks no one has ever touched him like she did.
So, yeah, he's a little angry and flustered when he sees her here, because she said she worked in marketing or some bullshit, and while he didn't expect her to be totally truthful with a stranger, this is a little too coincidental to be believed.
She bats his hands away when he offers to help her bandage a big scrape on her leg, and he tries not to make a face at the rejection. He's very aware of Sam watching him closely, but he has no idea what to say.
There's no point in lying about knowing her. He told Sam that he had spent a weekend with a woman the day he came home from his impromptu trip, but that it was nothing special, nothing but some no strings attached fun.
Turns out Dean might be the one who had a few strings.
.
Her face feels like it's on fire. Her game plan so far is just to refuse to speak to him, but that feels a bit stupid given the situation they just found themselves in.
Jesus Christ, but he couldn't have said he was Dean Winchester when they met? To be fair - she didn't give a lot of details about herself either. They didn't even really talk about work except when she said there was no way she could stretch her trip into one more day. She had to work.
(She lied about work just like he did, but that's neither here nor there)
She just never thought she'd still be thinking about him months later, much less seeing him in person. In the middle of a hunt.
She did have a real job. She wasn't lying about that. Her work for the FBI is very, very, VERY top secret. Fringe Division has been practically dead for years, but ever since the almost-apocalypse (she supposes she has Dean to thank for that, too), their work is more important than ever.
She was just supposed to be doing field work. Recon. She was never supposed to get involved, but here she is, trying to put a bandage on herself in the middle of the woods.
She can’t stop herself from watching his hands, remembering when they traced every inch of her skin and made her gasp and writhe and the way in the next breath they’d find a ticklish spot and make her laugh.
It’s just all so unbelievable.
Sam is the one to break the ice, which feels inevitable. “So. Anyone want to explain this?” He gestures between her and Dean.
Dean’s jaw clenches. For a moment she feels frustrated because why is he angry? They parted mutually. They both told lies and half truths and let themselves escape in high thread count sheets and each other.
She thrusts out her hand. The one not currently covered in blood. “Avery Harper.”
“Avery.” Sam repeats.
“Technically it’s Special Agent Avery Harper, but I won’t tell if you won’t.”
Dean chokes out a laugh, but it’s a little bitter. Avery’s smile doesn’t meet her eyes.
“I think we have a lot of catching up to do,” she suggests. “Food?”
She turns and heads toward her car before anyone says anything else. She hears a whispered argument, an exasperated sigh, and then finally the sound of footsteps on the crushed gravel. A hand grabs her elbow a moment later, then releases her like she’s on fire.
“We look like shit.” Dean’s voice is gruff. “Pizza at our place instead.”
The drive to their place is pleasant, at least. She struggles to keep up with Dean’s car, but she suspects he’s doing it on purpose so she lets him. He’s never truly out of her sight. She uses the time to try to work her way out of this, but decides there’s no point.
The only thing she needs to do is make them understand she’s not trying to take over their turf and that she has no interest in arresting them, and hope that they hear her out.
She follows along a long dirt driveway. The building looks rundown from the outside, but she trusts them. Trusts Dean.
Inside, she’s not ashamed of the way her mouth falls open as she takes in the gleaming tiles and smooth wood. The place is incredible.
“The inner sanctum?”
“Something like that.” Dean mutters, brushing past her. They both pause at the contact.
“I’m going to…. order pizza”. Sam says, quickly making himself scarce.
She and Dean stand there in the fading sunlight streaming in through a nearby window, and the light catches on his eyes. He’s hurt. She can see that, and she does feel guilty. Even though they were both doing the same thing, she’s realizing now that he probably would have loved to know he was completely understood.
That night, even though she didn’t know who he was, she felt a connection that was deeper than attraction. Now she knows why.
“I didn’t know who you were.” She says, hands tightening at her sides.
“How is that possible?”
“Not every agent is out to get you.”
He smirks. “Most of my interactions with the feds say the opposite.”
She exhales.
He rubs a hand over his face. The sound of his stubble scratching against weathered palms takes her back to a warm bed, a feeling of being so cocooned with someone else she couldn’t tell where he ended and she began.
“Is Avery even your real name?” He asks, voice rough.
“Yes.”
A beat. “Marketing?”
She can’t help but laugh. “I didn’t know what to say!”
“You could have bragged about having a badass job.”
She’s surprised, but tries not to show it. “So could you.”
He shrugs. “Wanted to… shed it.”
“Me too.” She admits softly.
This time when he meets her eyes, his are vulnerable, a dark green that leaves goosebumps on her arms. “I—“ he stops himself. She wishes he wouldn’t. He changes tactics. “Let me take a look at that arm.”
“It’s alright-“
“Ave. Let me.”
A shortened version of her name hits her right in the gut. It’s familiar, intimate in a way she hadn’t been expecting. “Okay.” She relents.
.
He can’t take his eyes off her.
He was angry for a minute, he felt off guard, off kilter, but now that she’s in front of him he can’t bring himself to hold a grudge. He’s just happy to see her.
The FBI.
What a fucking day.
She doesn’t tell him much about why she was hunting, how she knew about the fight he and Sam were in on, how she showed up right when they did and where any of her intel came from.
They’ve always known that someone somewhere in the feds had an inside track, and it always bothered him. But because it’s her, he can’t find it in himself to be angry.
He thinks of the way she didn’t hesitate, just set up shoulder to shoulder with him and aimed her weapon like she’d be damned if anyone or anything tried to get close to the Winchesters.
He’s pretty amazed by her, he’s got to admit. She’s everything he’s ever wanted wrapped up in the most beautiful package, and that’s what makes him pause. Because he’s never allowed to have good things for long.
In his bathroom he inspects her wounds, uses the excuse to crowd her a little bit, inhales the familiar scent of citrus and vanilla that follows her like a cloud.
If she notices she doesn’t say anything and he’s grateful.
Her hand fits just so in his.
“Thank you.” She says eventually.
“You don’t have to thank me.”
“Dean—“
He looks up, sees her eyes uncertain, a little wild.
She kisses him before he can take his next breath. It sends heat sizzling up his spine, electricity crackling in the space between them.
It’s exactly how he remembers it, and somehow more. More because they’re truly themselves now, no secrets between them.
His hands are in her hair. Hers are tight on his hips, digging in, a desperation in her touch that he's relieved to feel, proof that he isn't the only one feeling this way.
When the need for air is too much, they wrench apart, gasping. Her mouth goes to his neck, and his lips find her forehead, and he can't do this again. He can't pretend.
"Wait. Avery, wait."
Her eyes are unfocused when she looks at him. "Sorry--"
He shakes his head. "Don't be. I-- god, I wanted that. I just... it's too much. I can't."
"I've thought about this for months." She admits, and his eyes slide shut.
"Don't tell me that."
"It's the truth." When he opens his eyes again, her smile is sad, but there's a bit of hope there too, and it makes his heart pick up speed. "I didn't want to go, that morning. I wanted to give you my number, I wanted to see you again."
"I did too. I wanted you to come back."
"It feels cursed, Dean." She says quietly. "This-- this is all too much of a coincidence."
He nods. "I know. But-- is that so bad?" He leans close, lips at her temple. Can't stop touching her. "Can't we just give ourselves something to be happy about?"
"We do have a lot to fill each other in about." She agrees, words sounding more like a moan in the quiet room.
"Stay." His voice is hoarse. "Stay with me. We'll figure it all out after."
He's tired of denying himself things he wants, things that make him happy. And if all the decisions he's made over the last few months, every thought and every choice have lead him right back here to her, then who is he to question it?
She stays.

Cherries
Jiraiya x Reader. MDNI 18+ only. Ao3
You’re a waitress at a gambling club, and a fan of Jiraiya’s book, when he comes into your club you can’t help yourself from going home with him.
This was kind of inspired by the song Cherries by Annie Kemble, a good friend of mine. It’s a great song, give it a listen even if you don’t wanna read this fic. But I hope y’all do both. Love y’all as always <3 Doodle
Content notes: SMUT, smoking, drinking, pussy eating, uncut dick (b/c why would anyone in the Naruto universe be circumcised?), jiraiya is his own warning tbh.
Tumblr media
The sound of shouting players, and the smell of smoke was second nature to you now. You had been working in the parlor for two years, serving drinks, selling and lighting cigarettes, loading pipes and blowing on dice. You were frequently propositioned by customers for more salacious services, many offered money. Sometimes you would take it, if you were feeling comfortable enough, or the price was enough to tempt you, they never asked too much of you. Usually short encounters, over before the sun rose again. You had no problem making money this way, and why should you? You were working, you were talented in this regard, they had a good time and paid you well. As long as you kept yourself safe from harm, you rarely even got nervous anymore.
Tonight had been on the slower side, the middle of the week wasn’t often popular for gambling. You hadn’t been tipped that well, two different tables had stiffed you completely. You didn’t think you would be walking home pleased with your purse tonight. Breaking from the foggy main room, you slipped into the private bathroom reserved only for employees. Your makeup was immaculate still, but you applied another layer of ruby colored lipstick, patting it lightly with your finger before cleaning up the edges. You mussed your hair slightly in an attempt to give it more volume, before giving yourself one last look and smiling. You were beautiful, you were so grateful to know it and feel it.
While you were in the bathroom, Jiraya entered the parlor. His boisterous laugh gathered the attention of everyone, his hulking figure shook the table as he sat down at one of the games. The energy around him was light and fun, people of course recognized him and were excited to buy a man of such legend drinks, or play against him. Of course he wasn’t a great gambler, Jiraya was primarily here to get drunk and to flirt, shaking off another long day of training and mentorship. His eyes rose from the game table just in time to catch the most beautiful woman he had ever seen exiting from the back of the parlor. Well done up, makeup clean and vibrant, showing elegance with a clear personality that he would love to discover. Styled hair, pulled away from her working face, but falling perfectly where it could to give the appearance of casual effort. He was shaken by the man sitting next to him, and brought back to the game. Barely paying any attention, he offered a raised bet, and lost near instantly. He didn’t care, he took the last of his drink and shot it back, standing from the table and moving through the crowd over to where you were reloading your tray with drinks.
“Hello, gorgeous.” The alcohol had reddened his cheeks and lowered his already rock bottom inhibitions.
You gave him a practiced smile and began to lift the probably overloaded tray, “hello sir, is there something you might need from me?”
“I’ve got a couple ideas, but I’ll save them until you’ve dropped that tray off.” He took a seat on the available bar stool next to the drink well, “don’t worry about me, honey, I’ll still be here when you get back.”
You giggled flirtatiously, ever the professional, before passing him to deliver the bottles of sake and beer to your patrons. You swished your hips as you walked, knowing he was staring at you. You didn’t mind, he was a bit older than your usual type but you knew his reputation.
Master Jiraya of the legendary Sanin, you had even read one of his books. A girlfriend had recommended it to you, starting a scandalous book club you briefly belonged to. You were sure his writing was generous, but you’d be lying if you said you didn’t want to find out for yourself. He was tall, and handsome, and fucking big. Everything about him was big: his body, his presence, his voice, his reputation. You wondered if everything else was just as big.
Clearing your tray, you turned back to the bar, he was still watching you. You assumed he had been the whole time. His dark brown eyes crinkled up at the sides following the line of a wide grin. The red markings down his cheeks bent and blending into his blushing alcohol fevered cheeks. You stood to his side, sliding in between stools and leaning your body against the counter. Flirting was part of your job, keeping the patrons entertained and engaged was just as much your work as serving drinks. Sure this may have had some selfish motives, but no one could say you weren’t working too.
“So….I have to confess something,” you flicked your eyes up at him, through your thick made up lashes.
“Oh sweetheart, I would love to hear a confession from you. Need me to offer you forgiveness?” He was becoming brazen, moving his large hand to your waist, which you leaned into.
“I’ve actually read a few of your books.” You moved your hand over the arm that he leaned on the bartop.
He watched you trail your finger over his forearm. He was flattered by your admission. His mouth was starting to water.
“Well, it’s always nice to meet a fan. Especially one as beautiful as you.” He watched you blush at his words, “do you have a copy? I’d love to sign it for you. Is it back in your bedroom?”
He started to stand up, but your hand was sturdy on his shoulder, pressing him back down onto the stool.
“Not so fast.” You smiled, your fingernails toying playfully with the hem of his sleeve, “I’m excited to meet you, Master Jiraya. And I’d be happy to continue spending time with you tonight. But you see, I’m still working. And I’m not finished here for another hour.”
You closed the distance between the two of you, fingers moving his long white hair over his shoulder and leaning in to brush your lips against his ear. He smelled like jasmine and pipe smoke, something else lingered as an undernote, something earthy and organic.
“I’d love for you to sign my book. I don’t live far, but you’ll have to wait until my shift is up. Think you can do that for me?” You pulled back, batting your eyelashes and pouting your lips, fingers still tangled in his hair and clothes.
His eyes were glassy but locked onto you, his heart pounding in his chest, if you looked hard enough you were sure you could see his pulse in his neck. He nodded and you nodded back, an agreement made and a promise to be kept.
“Can I top off your drink?” you offered, reaching across the bar top and not so subtly arching your back and grabbing a fresh sake bottle.
“Only if you share it with me,” his eyes licked over your body.
He couldn’t believe his luck. The most beautiful girl in the whole place not only was talking to him but knew his work, and seemed to be interested. You pulled an extra cup and filled both glasses, offering one to him. He accepted graciously, still struck by the ease of the whole situation.
“To your work.” You offered
“To your work.” He offered, tapping his glass against yours before drinking together.
You two shared the bottle over the next half hour. You would occasionally need to seperate yourself and assist your coworkers, who were also engaging in the night's entertainment and service. You didn’t have any more tables to yourself, so you were mostly running drinks and offering support. Everytime you left his side, Jiraya always waited patiently for you to come back to him.
“So what keeps you working here?” He asked upon one of your returns.
“I like it. The money's good, the hours are better,” you nudged his arm, “the people are interesting.”
“Are they?” He asked, catching your hand in his and running his thumb across the back of your knuckles.
His touch was hot against your skin, leaving little prickles of electricity in its wake. You weren’t sure when exactly it had happened, but you found yourself becoming more and more excited by the idea of spending the night with him. He was forward but had remained respectful, keeping his hands relegated to your arms and back, but never on your legs or hips. The conversation flowed naturally, he was actually very funny, giving plenty of chances for you to swoon at his wide smile. His good looks were filtered by age but he was still an incredibly handsome man, his strong nose leading up to his dark eyes, big lips growing wetter and looking softer at every passing shot.
“Yeah,” you answered, flipping his own hand over to run your index finger over the inside of his palm, tracing the lines, “although they aren’t usually so handsome. Or accomplished.you wouldn’t believe the amount of stories I’ve sat through about farming or markets.”
“You know, gorgeous, if I didn’t know any better. I’d start to worry you were playing me a bit. Are my stories boring you?” He watched your finger trace over his palm, and he watched when it stopped.
Your slender finger ceased its cartography of jiraiya's large palm, moving his hand over so it faced down. You slotted your fingers in between his. You let them linger for a moment, joined together, before bringing his knuckles up to your lips and kissing lightly. Your lipstick transferred lightly, leaving a red kiss mark across the ridge of two of his fingers. You met his gaze as you pulled away, his bottom lip was caught in between his teeth as he watched you.
“Not at all, Master Jiraiya. I feel quite fortunate to be talking to you tonight.” You set his hand back down on the table, but kept your hand tucked into his.
His voice shook slightly as he asked, “how much longer is your shift?”
Your eyes flicked over to the clock on one wall, “twelve more minutes. Think you can wait here while I wrap up?”
He nodded and breathed out, releasing himself from the previous moment of tension. He leaned back slightly as you stood up and walked to the back to settle your cash for the night and close out your final tabs. Besides Jiraya it had been a slow night for you, but despite the lower than expected take home pay, you felt giddy as you collected your final tabs and closed out with your bartender and manager. Before finishing up, you swung by the bar one last time. This time opting to not sit beside Jiraiya, but lean behind him, pressing your chest into his back and talking directly in his ear.
“You actually still have to settle your tab.” You reminded him, circling a lock of his hair around your finger.
“Ah, right.” He got the bartender's attention and closed his tab, leaving a hefty tip, “should I tip you as well? Or does that come later?”
He turned to face you, suddenly his ever confident aura had dimmed slightly, as though he had grown nervous.
“You're signing my book, that’s a great tip, especially after I sell it as a collector’s item for having a genuine signature!” You teased, laughing.
He laughed along with you before standing. You realized he towered over you, he was well above six feet, probably by another half. He looked down at you, your features enticing him in further and further. His mind raced, thinking of your eyes fluttering at him, how soft your lips felt against his hand, the smell of Cherry that followed you every time you walked past him.
“Why don’t you head outside, I’ll meet you out front after I grab my bag from the back.” You told him.
Just one more hurdle until you could finally have each other. The tension continued to build and build until you knew it would eventually compound in on itself. Hopefully in your bed, and hopefully again and again until the sun comes up.
“I’ll be waiting.” He said, and lifted your own hand to his lips this time. Offering a more dramatic, showman’s kiss before loudly smacking his lips off.
You hurried to the back to hang up your apron, grab your coat and bag, and say goodbye to your coworkers. You slipped out the back and walked around to the front of the building.
Jiraya waited patiently, but nervous. This wouldn’t be the first time he had been duped by a beautiful woman’s promise of a “good time”. When you finally emerged from the side of the building, his face lit up, shoulders relaxing as he took you in.
“I hope you didn’t think I was going to leave you out here.” You read his mind.
“Of course not, just enjoying the night air. It’s good to clear the mind.” He looked down at you, you had walked straight up to him, nearly chest to chest.
The two of you stood for a moment, then two. Breath syncing up, heart rate too. In the moonlight your features look softer, eyes sparkling up at him. Jiraya fought the urge to hold your cheeks and press your lips together, you were still outside of your place of work and he didn’t want to embarrass you.
“This way,” you finally took his hand and led him down the street.
Your conversations from inside the bar continued as you walked home with Jiraiya following you closely. Your walk home wasn’t far, only a few blocks, and he was right about the night air. You had only had a few glasses to drink, but the soft summer wind was already helping you feel more alert and awake. When you finally entered the grouping of apartments where you lived, you led him to your door.
“I wasn’t expecting company, so you’ll have to excuse the mess.” You said, you had actually just cleaned the previous day, but it couldn’t help to under promise and overdeliver.
Jiraiya couldn’t care less where you lived, or how, he was just so excited to be in the home of an incredible young woman who had invited him in. You opened the door, moonlight illuminating the dark living room. With him following closely, you moved to turn on a few lamps, brightening the space. Your place was nearly immaculate, not devoid of personality, but neat. You had drapery hung over your windows and around your light fixtures allowing the light to take on different hues. Purples, blues, and golds filled the space, casting patterned shadows over the walls.
“Wow, kid. Nice place. You do all this yourself?”, Jiraiya let out a low whistle, impressed with your home making skills already.
“Mhm,” you nodded, setting your bag down on your dining table.
You moved to undo the buttons of your coat, when you felt his hands slip around you from behind, his chest was right up against your back, his head stooped down to speak in your ear.
“Please, allow me.”, his fingers were quick to undo your buttons, moving smoothly up your lapels and sliding the jacket off of your shoulders, leaving them bare and chilled with excitement.
His smell of jasmine filled your space, you felt intoxicated with him already. His lips brushed the shell of your ear, then the juncture of your jaw and neck, then the side of your throat. You bit back a moan along with the urge to lean your head back against his chest.
“Are you trying to get out of signing my book?” You teased as his hand began to circle your waist.
He laughed, it shocked you a bit. The usually booming laugh, subdued and hot against your ear. He knew just how to play you. You turned to face him, stepping back slightly, not so subtly trying to regain your footing.
“Of course not,” Jiraiya smiled down at you, his large hands still in your waist, “you keep it next to your bed?”
You pushed his chest slightly, “you wish.”
You pulled out of his grasp and moved to a low bookshelf in your modest seating area, you had to bend over to retrieve it. You heard him suck in some air as you did so. Finally pulling the bound text from your shelf, you stood again and faced him. A blush crept up your face, you realized you had dogeared a few pages, which reminded you that you had actually made notes in a few margins. Maybe you liked this book a bit more than you let on. He noticed too, taking the book from you and opening to the first page.
“You have a pen?” He moved to sit cross legged on your floor over the coffee table.
You grabbed a writing utensil from your desk drawer and offered it to him, loving to sit next to him.
“Ah ah,” he tutted, hiding the book, “no peeking.”
You rolled your eyes and sat across from him instead. You watched him carefully as he thought of what to write, and with a devilish glint in his eye, started scribbling his autograph. He was taking longer than should be necessary for his name.
“You’re not writing something dirty in there, are you?” You tease, sliding your foot under the table to nudge his crossed leg..
“I already did, that’s why you like it so much.” He flirted back instantly, not even slightly shaken by your contact. He was clearly in his element.
Finally when he had finished his escription, he read over his own words. Giggling to himself, he brought the book up and mimed a kiss against the page, before blowing on it softly, to dry the ink.
“There you go, gorgeous. One of a kind.” He closed the book and set it on the table with his hand still over it, inviting you to try to take it from him.
You took the bait and reached over, he slid it just out of reach, “Almost.”
You got the game. Sliding around the table, you now were next to him, your hand fit next to his, fingers intertwining on the bound leather. You moved your body up his, with him seated and you on your knees, you were finally eye to eye with him. He watched you closely, pupils blown in excitement. You moved to sit on his lap, finally in a full embrace. He was so wide, it was hard to fully straddle him, but you managed. You could feel him getting hard underneath you, too many layers separated you from him. You could feel how wet you had gotten from the back and forth of tonight. You wanted him so bad. His large, delicious body, his experience, his charisma. It had all drawn you in. His hands moved from the table, abandoning the book and over slid your hips, then up your back and down again. The sensation was soothing and also titillating.
You felt yourself dampen further, and your breath increase. You moved your arms around his neck, leaning closer and closer, you could feel the tie that held his long hair back and you pulled until it came loose, allowing his white hair to fall freely. Your lips were so close to his, you could smell sake on his breath, you could feel his heart beating under you.
“Jiraiya?”, your lips were nearly against his as you spoke his name.
“Yes, gorgeous?”, His big hands squeezed your hips, keeping your firm against his clothed erection.
“Are you going to kiss me? Or are you going to make me beg you for it.” You looked at him under your lashes, catching his eye just in time to see him shudder a bit.
“All you had to do was ask.” He caught your lips in his, his hands on your hips pulling you closer to him.
His lips were so soft, but his kiss was so hard and passionate. His tongue immediately slipped between your lips, quickly mapping the inside of your mouth. He had the faintest taste of smoke, probably a pipe or cigarette from earlier in the night. His hands moved through his hair, tugging lightly, making him moan against your mouth.
“Such a pretty girl,” he mumbled between hot, wet kisses, “you don’t know what you’re doing to me.”
Feeling emboldened by his praise, you moved one hand between your joined hips to stroke his hardened dick, “I think I have a pretty good idea.”
His hips bucked at your touch, a half moan-half laugh sputtering from his lips. He cursed and pulled at the back of your shirt, removing it quickly. His hands were rough against your skin, decades of both training and writing causing his palms and fingers to callus. Your skin was so soft by juxtaposition, smooth and even, plump and vibrant. He removed your bra skillfully, your breasts spilling out for him to quickly latch his mouth onto.
You moaned, throwing your head back, “Master Jiraiya!”
He could barely hear you, he was completely immersed in how good it felt to have your bare chest in front of him, against his lips, against his tongue. He flicked his skilled tongue over your nipple, pulling back to watch it harden and peak.
“You’ve got such great tits, baby. Such a pretty thing for me.” He kissed up the side of your neck.
You were rocking your hips against his, trying desperately to pull more of those shocked moans from him in the process. Your hands moved under his tunic, unknotting the tie and pulling the sides apart. His chest was so broad, a large star shaped scar bloomed from the center outward. You had hooked up with shinobi before, you were familiar with the combat scars and various bruises to be found on their bodies. But this was unlike anything you had ever seen. It was expansive, and evidently distracting, as you had stopped your grinding to gawk at the large healed wound.
“Thought girls liked scars.” He joked.
You ran your hand down his chest, fingers exploring the topography of muscle and scar tissue.
“I do.” You leaned down to kiss the side of his neck, hand traveling further down to his hip bone and further to undo the tie of his pants.
“You work fast, honey.” He bit his lip trying to cover the moan your eager touch pulled from him.
You moved off his lap, now pulling his trousers along with you as you moved down his body, “worried you can’t keep up, old man?”
This struck something in him. Something competitive and cocky. Before you realized it he had you up on the couch, and he was kneeling between your legs.
“I hope you don’t mind if this old man takes a turn first?” He growled holding your hips in place as you tried to figure out just how he had moved you so quickly.
His hands pulled at the top of your skirt, undoing the zipper on the side and sliding it down your legs.
“It only feels fair after I so graciously gave you my autograph free of charge.” He removed your skirt completely, leaving you only in your red panties.
You were so wet already, the panties were sticking to you. You wanted them off so bad, you wanted him so bad. His hands ran up your thighs, Jiraiya delighting in the hot, smooth skin of a young woman writing under his touch. You were so gorgeous, a beautiful body, a beautiful face, charming and intelligent. He had no idea how he had gotten so lucky. You were looking at him so desperately, he could see how badly you wanted him. And if he wasn’t sure from your eyes and your words, you were practically dripping onto your own couch in front of him. He couldn’t wait any longer, he had to taste you for himself. Jiraiya leaned forward and took the front of your panties between his teeth, pulling them down, using his hands to roll the flimsy fabric off of your legs. A practiced move he had perfected over years, but never failed him.
Watching him remove your panties with his teeth had you moaning before he ever touched your aching pussy. He watched you gasp in awe and arch your back, body begging him to pleasure you. He knew exactly what he was doing to you. He slid your panties in his back pocket for later. He knew he was a pervert, but he couldn’t help himself.
Finally, with nothing separating him from your sex, Jiraiya moved your legs over his shoulder and pressed forward, giving you a long, languid lick all the way up your slit.
His tongue was devilish; skilled and wicked. Strong hands keeping your thighs in place as he devoured you. You couldn’t stop the wanton moans that spilled from you like a waterfall, he had barely started and you were already whimpering and pulling at his hair.
“Baby you taste so good, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop. How many do you think you can take?” You could barely hear him through the sound of him lapping at your dripping pussy.
He was talking about his fingers, thick and waiting to push inside of you. They were bigger than yours, bigger than anyone’s you had been with, and fuck you wanted them inside of you.
“Two. Two. Fuck, Jiraiya, please.” You begged him, needing more and more from him despite how good you already felt.
He pushed his first two fingers inside of you, tongue still slurping around your clit. Feeling him spread you open, you felt the white hot build up of orgasm approaching. Your voice was giving you away, panting moans, barely intelligible curses mixed with his name. You tugged at his hair, paying no kind to if it hurt him or not. He certainly wasn’t stopping, nor was he complaining. He was too drunk off of your taste. He hooked his fingers inside of you, deliciously hitting your g spot.
You nearly went blind with pleasure. You were cumming before you even realized how close it was. Not only cumming, but squirting. Gushing around his fingers and into his waiting mouth. He drank from you, everything you had. Leaving you a well pleasured, panting mess above him. The heels of your feet had dug into his shoulders so hard he may bruise. But tomorrow if he woke up with any mark of you left on him, he would be a happy man. Finally detaching his mouth from your puffy, spent pussy, Jiraiya sat back on his heels, watching you carefully, licking his fingers clean.
“Ever done that before?” He grinned cockily, your squirt still dripping down his chin onto his neck.
You watched him take great pride in cleaning his fingers of your cum, “once or twice.” You told him.
“Think I can make you do it again?” He leaned over you, his hands finding your waist again, pulling you forward, against the front of his barely done pants.
You shuddered at the thought. You had read his books, you were familiar with his proclivity toward having the heroines orgasm again and again, until they were begging for mercy. You had always assumed it was fiction, and that couldn’t, shouldn’t reflect on the desires and skills of the author. But the way he watched you as you came undone for him, the way he looked down at you now, you knew it was autobiographical.
He wiped a sweaty strand of hair from your forehead, tucking it behind your ear before leaning down to kiss you again. This kiss was softer than before, he cupped your face sweetly, not tugging and pulling you into him, but holding you firm and steady against his lips. You kissed him back, finally feeling grounded in your body again. He tasted like you, you were sure you tasted like him too. The experience of letting someone’s taste overpower your own was at times more sensual and pleasurable than the act of sex itself.
Your hands moved over his back, feeling the strong muscle, the divots and grooves of his body. Your eager hands moved to remove his pants, and he joined the effort, stripping himself completely before you. He joined you on the couch, kneeling between your legs, still kissing you. You felt his hardened length hot against you, sliding up and down your slit, he reveled in the fruits of his previous labor.
“Please Jiraiya, please.” You whimpered against his kisses, reaching down to stroke him.
He was diamond hard in your hand, long, and thick. Of course he was, of course this literary Casanova had the personal equipment to back it up. You could feel his heartbeat pulsing through his erection. You ran your thumb beneath his foreskin to pull the precum from him and coat your hand to lubricate his length. Jiraiya shuddered and lifted you back onto the couch again, joining you and slotting himself between your legs. Your lips were hot against his, spit and moans exchanged in between sloppy kisses. His thick, white hair shielded you from the light in the room, blocking out everything else but him. He reached down to join your hand on his length, his eyes meeting yours to confirm consent. You nodded again, rocking your hips against the head of his cock. You moved your hands to his shoulders. Jiraiya’s thumbs spread your folds apart for him to release a string of spit onto you. Spreading the lubrication of his spit and your previous release along his length and your slitc he started to inch himself into you.
You couldn’t help the arch that your back curved into. Nor could you stop the mewl that escaped you. Jiraiya groans above you, pushing deeper. Your vision went white as he packed his inches into you. You clawed at his muscles, whimpering as he filled you.
“I know, baby. Almost there.”, he cooed, smoothing your hair.
You squirmed at his depth, how he stretched you out, how he mashed against the wall of your cervix.
“Relax, baby. Let me in, it’s okay.” He kissed your cheeks where you had scrunched up your face.
You breathed deeply, trying desperately to relax your tensed muscles. Just as you would release slightly, he would push further and you would clench around him again. Finally after much stopping and starting, he bottomed out inside of you. His hips meeting the backs of your legs, your calves over his shoulders, and your fingers gripping his shoulders.
“Jiraiya…fuck…you’re so deep.” You trembled against him.
Jiraiya panted above you, running his hand up your leg soothingly. You were holding him so tight, he was struggling to keep from fucking into you further.
“Let me know when I can move, sweetness.” He pressed a sweet kiss to the ball of your ankle, petting your leg again.
After finally accommodating his size, you nodded. He pulled back carefully to the head of his cock before sliding into you again. He began an even thrusting pace, he rocked his hips against your sweet spot inside of you. You couldn’t help the broken, nasty sounds that fell from your lips. He was setting your body ablaze with pleasure. His head fell back as he maintained his rhythm, letting out a lazy, delicious moan. You felt electric, like all the energy in your body had illuminated and was glowing. His hands traveled from your thighs to your hips to your breasts and back again. You felt as though he was unstitching your every piece, taking you apart at the atomic level. And it was marvelous, his touch was practiced and methodical, he knew just how to touch and to please you. You couldn’t control the begging pleas that spilled from you.
“Raiya, please, yes, fuck, oh” in repetition again and again.
He was similarly babbling, “yes baby, so tight, so good, good girl.”
Your sweat transferred to his skin, and vice versa, when he finally leaned over you, closing you in against the couch, you couldn’t help but keen to kiss him again. His big, strong hand pulled your hip up to meet his thrusts, and you helped him, fucking yourself up into him. Your bodies worked in perfect sync, meeting his thrusts, him moving his fingers in between your bodies to circle your swollen clit. Your voice raised in pitch, eyes rolling back as he played you like a fiddle. You had no idea earlier in the night how incredible he would be.
You felt yourself inching so close to climaxing, and you made it clear.
“Please Jiraiya, please!” You begged
“You wanna cum, pretty girl?” He smiled, pushing deeper into you, making you arch further.
“Yes! Fuck yes please. Let me cum!”
“Cum all over this cock. Make a mess for me, baby.” He choked out, circling your clit and sucking into your neck.
He pushed harder into you, the combination of his cock and fingers finally bringing you to your desperate, whimpering, squirting climax. You coated his cock and abdomen in your cum, he shuddered against you trying to keep his pace as he reached his own orgasm.
“Fuck!” Jiraiya cried out slamming himself against your g spot, finally letting his release take him.
You could feel his cock pulse, shooting his long streams of cum inside of you, painting your walls white. Jiraiya collapsed his full weight onto you, which was not insignificant, but you couldn’t bring yourself to care. You stroked his fluffy, white hair as he caught his breath atop you. He pressed lazy, hot kisses to your neck, collarbone and chest as he caught his breath. Minutes passed with you two locked into this embrace. Finally the weight of his body was too much, and you tapped on his shoulder, urging him to sit up. He did, pulling you up with him, having you straddle his lap so he could stay sheathed inside of you. He stroked your back, still kissing your neck occasionally. You slumped against his broad chest, feeling spent, he let his head rest against the back of your couch. When he had finally caught his breath, he tipped his head back down, holding your face in his hands, and kissed you deeply. His tongue smoothed against yours, tasting your exhaustion. He moved your hair out of your face, and looked into your eyes.
You finally found your words, “I better not read about this.”
“If you think I’m not using this as research, I hate to disappoint you…” Jiraiya laughed heartily, holding you closer.
You kissed him again, laughing against his lips. You luxuriated in his touch, his warmth, and his kiss.
Sure enough, about nine months later when his most recent book was released you rushed to the local bookstore. You found there was a dedication at the beginning reading simply.
For Cherry, Page 73.
You quickly flipped to the listed page and found the beginning of a deliciously flowery sex scene, one where the protagonist picks up a waitress and spoils her the exact way Jiraiya had done to you.
You couldn’t hide the blushing smile. That bastard.
Okay y’all thanks so much for reading! I hope y’all enjoyed! I’m nasty feral for this big bad man.

Today I found out what happens if Gale dies (temporarily), and I... have some feelings.
I'm snooping around the area surrounding the Adamantine Forge, and my gal Fern leads the way across the lake of lava. The party, who clearly have separation anxiety, immediately decide they cannot bear to be parted from her and would rather run straight into the lava to get to the next jumping-point than find a safer route. (Should've thought to split the party but, y'know. Hindsight.)
By the time I realise what's happening, Gale's frail little wizard hit points have been long since lost. I decide to reload because a) I don't have time to go to camp and ask Withers to fix my mess because I'm on a time limit to get to Nere and save the gnomes and b) Gale is still in the lava, so no one can Revivify him. Leaving him to marinate while we go kill Nere would just make me feel bad.
But as I'm reaching for the Esc key to return to my last save, I am launched into a dialogue with a projection of Gale, which pops up to inform Fern that hello, he is Gale of Waterdeep, and if she's seeing this, he has unfortunately perished. By the way, it is of dire importance that she bring him back before the hungry orb in his chest detonates and kills everything. He hopes that he's made everything clear. All very businesslike and very well-spoken and very Gale.
And yes, I reloaded, but - not before I got the mental image of Fern standing screaming at the edge of the lava. Fern, who trusts Gale as she hasn't trusted anyone in a decade, Fern who's been falling for him, staring and helpess and knowing that for all her fire-resistance she can't get him out. And Gale's proejction pops up and talks to her like she's a stranger, being so professional and 'here's why it's important that I don't stay dead.' While Fern's on her knees with tears evaporating on her face from the heat, choked and furious and screaming.
Gale 'my tressym is my only friend' Dekarios. You never imagined for a moment that your 'in case of my death' message might be delivered to someone who loved you, did you? You never thought that whoever saw it wouldn't need to be convinced.
I wonder if, for all he left a message arguing how logical and important it was that he be resurrected, he was surprised to be brought back.

Rewriting this sucks, but we ball. Welcome to Episode 13 of Waku Puyo Extras.
Tumblr media
(...If you saw the post before I deleted it, no you didn't. I hate my internet.)
Heya everyone, Gren here, rewriting this for a second time because I accidently clicked post and lost everything because my internet decided to be a dickhead. Welcome to Episode 13 of this wonderful show I've made, where I discuss random Puyo things and hope they make sense to an audience. They usually do.
Today we'll be focusing on our favorite idiot out there, Ms. Draco Centauros. It's wild how she's been with us since day one and we haven't made anything for and about her. This one might seem more summarized and less "Gren's rambling again," because man. Retyping sucks.
Uploads have been scarce due to school, we're hitting the toughest parts by far, I plan to change it sometime.
Let's begin, shall we? I hope you enjoy.
Oh, and please play Persona 3 Reload. Amazing game.
----
So Who IS Draco in Puyo?
Tumblr media
I have to specify Puyo so we can mention Madou stuff later, since it's how I wanna roll this time around.
She's been with us with a personality since what, 1992? And she's had two wonderful traits.
She loves beauty contests.
And she may be stupid.
We'll come to love and hate those traits later on down the line. Believe me on that. That's how she began in Tsu, after all.
However, everything changed when it came to Puyo SUN, where something very unique happened. She's now a protagonist, and I believe the first one to do so, a massive accomplishment. She's the protagonist of the Easy Mode Course, the shortest one, but that's fine.
She finds Skeleton-T heating up tea while she basically dying of heat, and she burns the tea, making the man (skeleton?) PISSED, and a fight happens, classic Puyo. After that, Draco encounters Harpy, who collapsed on the ground due to dehydration, so Draco saves her life via a water bottle. Sadly, it results in Harpy singing, and Draco to slowly die inside because...it's Harpy's singing for God's sake.
Tumblr media
And finally, she runs into Choppun (remember that guy?) He's land surfing on a rock... before he gets properly swept away by the water, thankfully. With that, Draco tries to relax, and uh, that doesn't end well. The sun's too hot, and she goes flying, not by her free will, of course, but because sunburn does that to someone...leading to her being the first fight of Arle's story, basically in severe pain due to that.
The fact that she got a protagonist role is something to behold, and it's very interesting to know that a common Mook like her was able to secure such a spot. Later on, other side characters like Witch and Lagnus would get the role in other games (Comet Summoner, Madou Saturn, etc,) but no, Draco is the first one to do that, a very big accomplishment in of itself. Nice one Draco.
And hey, she returns in Puyo~N too, being one of the first fights in the game.
Tumblr media
(Just want an excuse to show the artstyle. MAN, it's so good.)
Here, Arle asks if she knows who stole Carbuncle, as that's basically the plot of the entire game, but Draco has reverted back into her good old "Is she stupid?" personality, assumes she's there for a beauty contest and fights her, and loses, go figure. After that, she actually joins Arle for the search for her missing Carbuncle, alongside Witch, Serilly, and Chico.
She even says Gao. It's perfect.
But after that, it kinda went all over the place. It was her last real major/semi-prevelent role for a good bit. She's there in Minna, but she doesn't exactly do a ton. She's part of a long fetch quest where mail has been messed up, and her mail got lost 3 years ago because Witch accidently got it instead, but that's really about it. And then, like everyone in Compile besides Arle, she vanishes for The Fever Era. She doesn't even appear in 15th, when Nasu Grave and Zoh Daimoh made it. But hey, jokes on them, they haven't appeared since.
But after so long, Draco makes her grand return in Puyo 7.
Tumblr media
(Wonder who you saw first in this image. For me it was Raffine.)
Here, she's in the Bermuda Triangle because Dark Arle told her that there's a beauty contest there, and she just believes it. Ringo and Amitie go there for plot reasons, and Draco assumes they're there for the same reasons as her. Sadly, they're not, and Draco has been HOODWINKED. And as we know, if you play as Amitie, Witch and Harpy make their cameo appearance, new designs as all... just to not use them ever again. Makes me sad every time.
Draco reappears in 20th Anniversary, where Witch also makes her real debut back. Harpy died sadly. She got smacked to the Land of Chronicles instead. Back to Draco, she wants to find a really cool swimsuit Arle mentioned, but it's Draco, life hates her. After a slew of mishaps and ruining people's day, she finally finds it... and finds out it's from Suketoudara. Rip.
And hey, she reappears in Chronicle, where she's just minding her own business until she gets yoinked by the book that took everyone else to Ally's world. And in Draco Fashion... she assumes Ally and crew are there for a beauty pageant and won't be usurped. Wonder how many times I've mentioned her and beauty pageants, gotta keep count sometime.
She's in Tetris 1 and uh. She tries to eat O.
And uh...she does a talent show with Witch in the DLC. That's it.
TETRIS 2 TIME
She's one of the many people who got corrupted by Marle, but had Ringo fooled for a good bit on accident, and apologized for her odd behavior. Not her fault Marle is uh... quite the character.
And in side story stuff, she's just playing around with Mini Puyos since she finds them interesting. Unfortunately, Witch also finds them interesting and makes Draco her test subject for studying Mini Puyos, saying it'd at least be a good workout for her. And since we're playing as Draco, she does just that...for science, we swear. After that, Witch notes that due to their smaller size, much higher chains and such, before Draco says she's just there for a good time, much to Witch's annoyance.
So That's Puyo. How About Madou?
Tumblr media
(One guy out there just decided to make the coolest Draco art out there. Thanks man.)
Draco began in the series like many other characters, a Mook, a random encounter, a person Arle ran into during dungeon crawling adventures, the sort. It's simple enough, it's her beginnings.
However, I won't exactly be going in chronological order for this, rather, I want to mention some things here and there as I go.
Draco began to get fairly popular due to her design and appearances in Puyo, ala Witch, so she began to make a lot of appearances in side stuff, such as Disc Station games. She appears in a few off memory:
Tower of the Magician, where she's a random encounter Schezo can fight. Here though, she has a little more personality since it's been more established.
PuyoLympics, where she makes a cameo appearance in the swimming section of the game. She's not playable, like Rulue and Schezo, but she makes an appearance.
Rulue's Spring Break of Fists, where like many other characters, she talks a lot... because it's a visual novel. She only appears in one story route, like almost every other character in the game.
Arle Man'Yuki, where she's uh. There.
Madou Saturn, where she's a playable ally, but a temporary one.
Waku Puyo Dungeon and it's manga, where in the manga, she fights against and alongside Rulue.
So let's talk about her role in Saturn first. She's been chained up alongside Witch due to Incubus being Incubus, and you're given a choice to save her or Witch first. Today, it's Draco.
Arle and Rulue save Draco, and Draco's first thing to do is go to a beauty pageant...to find out that she's late and it's already over.
Tumblr media
And it leads to this. She's gone, bros. To the point where she doesn't help fight Schezo 3 minutes later. However, after said fight, she regains her senses and enters a whole other contest since the reward is a key that opens literally anything. You know, so they can save Witch.
Unfortunately, Yog Smoke is appearing, and it's not looking so good for our heroes, but we skim some smaller details, some fights later, it's honestly quite similar to Witch's route, down to the Schezo Refight and Jaan appearance, I guess to give players similar experiences. It's honestly a very nice role Draco has at least, where she's able to kinda bounce off Arle and Rulue decently well, and she's no slouch in combat either.
After saving Witch, she does leave you, but reappears at the end of the game at the very least. And that's mostly her role, she has her own quirks and her personality, while a little one dimensional as always, still leaves room up for some unique conversations with Arle and Rulue.
And even then, her role in Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon and its manga are at least more than that, to an extent. It depends on the Route.
Tumblr media
In Arle's Route (yeah, sorry for not translating in a hot minute. School work over that, sorry.) she relies more on her stupid self and assumes Arle is there for a beauty- basically the usual. However, at the very least, she does canonically say she can make 5 chains, before realizing they her and Arle are gonna PROPERLY fight rather than Puyo battle, which is neat. And even after defeat, she just trains to become even better, which is honestly a nice change of pace.
And in Schezo's route, it relies on Schezo also being partially a Grade A dunce, since the boss dialog is him misunderstanding Draco completely about "Something," before she says it's a Battle, leaving him to feel stupid for not thinking that. And after defeat and near the end of the game, Schezo runs into her again, and he says that he's not really interested in appealing to women or anyone, leading to Draco assuming he's gay, much to his annoyance. And on another talk, Draco mentions if he was more in touch with how people feel and watched his wording, Schezo would be even more popular with the ladies, before he's shocked that he's popular in general.
Notice how I haven't spoken about Rulue yet, and it's because...I dunno how she acts there. But I do somewhat know how she acts in the manga.
Tumblr media
(This requires context. Believe me.)
Like in the game, Draco is the boss of Fire Mountain, and since Rulue and Minotauros are there...to put it bluntly, the three fight. Draco's no slouch though, as she's able to actually fight Rulue competently and WIN round one, so to speak, which is the top image of the entire post.
When knocked out, Rulue begins to dream about Arle...and Satan. The rest is history. Round two happens, and it's a real back and forth, honestly. Draco lands good hits, Rulue gets good hits, before out of nowhere, steals the Naruto Handbook and Shadow Clone Justu's, shocking Draco and ending the fight there.
It's worth noting that it appears Draco might (or definitely does,) like or even crush on Rulue herself. Since this stupid 10 image limit it kicking my ass, you can probably find many pages online of those moments. Draco even tags along in fighting... these guys, who are basically traumatized from fighting Rulue.
Tumblr media
(They're in Saturn, that's for sure.)
And as such, ends our talk about Draco. She's a very fascinating character, since she hasn't changed a whole lot throughout the decades.
She's been fairly two-note for years now, but it doesn't really stop her from being a good and fun character, especially when Compile/SEGA decide to give her a little more than "Is she stupid?" and beauty pageants.
That'd be all from me. Adios.

Astarion at the Brothel: Friendship Route
So apparently if you talk to the Drow Twins have the following conditions met:
Have non-romanced Astarion in your party.
Do NOT have your current romanced companion in your party.
Express interest in BOTH of the Drow Twins.
Tav will have the option to sleep with Astarion EVEN IF THEY NEVER ROMANCED HIM. Same with Halsin!
Now, in this scenario, I am playing my Githyanki Bimbo. She romanced Gale and no one else. Astarion propositioned Githyanki Bimbo twice, and she shot him down twice. She only has eyes for the funny wizard man.
Tumblr media
Just look at these handsome men judging me. I'm judging me too, but this is for SCIENCE! Don't worry, Githyanki Bimbo, I will reload your save once the experiment is complete so you and Gale can continue your Barbie Dream Life.
More information for Githyanki Bimbo's play-through for those who are curious: her current relationship with Astarion is at 80, she stood up for Astarion during the Blood Merchant scene, Astarion told her all about his past (including stuff about his relationship with sex), she defeated the Orthon for him, helped defeat Cazador, helped him to not go through with the ritual (so this is Spawn!Astarion).
If Tav says they want both of the Drow Twins, one of them will suggest that Astarion joins them. At that point, you're given these options.
Tumblr media
If you pick Option 1, Astarion doesn't say anything.
Tumblr media
If you pick Option 2, Astarion says "So eager! You're delicious." And, at least to me, he sounds sincere and even a little excited. But! That could be just him turning on the charm. You could really take it either way. In any case, he doesn't sound uncomfortable with the prospect at all.
Tumblr media
If you pick Option 3, Astarion once again doesn't say anything.
Tumblr media
Though there is a very good chance that part of the reason this interaction is in the game is for Fan Service, I'm going to overlook that in favor of character analysis because that's more fun for me.
Given Astarion's history, why does he accept here? Especially since Cazador is gone? (Fully acknowledging once again the possibility of fan service or just certain game scenarios not being accounted for).
I think there are a couple of possible reasons, but I don't think any of them really have to do with him feeling pressured. I'm not going to go into too much detail (unless someone is interested in me elaborating, then I'll go ahead), but here are some of my ideas that could contribute to his reasoning.
It could be out of habit.
He wants to experiment now that Cazador no longer controls him.
It sounds like fun to him.
Without the relationship with Romanced!Tav, he still hasn't totally figured out how to say "no".
It's a relatively safe environment for him (with a trusted friend and professionals).
Maybe he's horny and he just feels like it.
Anyways, I'm not going to go into too much depth on my thoughts because they don't really matter. But I found this interesting and wanted to share.
I first found out about this scenario from this post and I wanted to look into it further.
As always, these are just some of my opinions! No passing judgement and I'm not trying to pick fights with people who might have different opinions. Just thought this was interesting!

(take these sunken eyes) and learn to see
The thing about fighting on rooftops that often comes as an afterthought, Charlotte thinks, is just how easy it is to throw someone off of one.
Someone in this particular case being Arlo.
The girl's scream is still echoing in her ears, even as it cuts off. She is the closest to the edge where Arlo went off, and yet she cannot bring herself to look. Her broken body and blood on the pavement will make it all real, and if Charlotte doesn't look, she can pretend can't she?
Rage burns through her, accompanied by a helplessness churning in her gut. She curses the uselessness of her right hand, and wishes that she had more than just a simple penknife to take on the ghoul on the roof and the man that commands it. (A member of the Red Hand, she's sure, though she can't confirm it. Who else would be fool enough to believe they could summon creatures from the void with no consequence?)
Howard is attempting to reload his pistol with shaking hands. Auggie picks up a length of pipe, testing its weight. She notes that he appears far less distraught than one might think, having just watched his beloved be thrown to her death.
"You're really gonna regret doing that," Auggie warns. His smirk grows to a grin as his eyes land on something behind Charlotte.
She feels wind at her back, ruffling the loose strands of her hair, and the soft swoosh of wings fills her ears. Howard has momentarily abandoned his gun to remove his glasses and scrub at his eyes, clearly not believing what he's seeing. Footsteps land on the roof's edge behind her, and she swallows hard, too afraid of what she'll see if she turns around.
"You alright, babe?" Auggie asks, and Arlo's gentle laugh sends a chill down her spine. A hand lands on her shoulder, and she braves a glance. Her heart leaps into her throat at the grayed skin and lethal talons.
"Quite, darling," Arlo replies, stepping down onto the roof, her nails scratching gently as they leave Charlotte's arm. "Though we're rather lucky this building is as tall as it is. I don't know that I would survive a shorter fall."
Any further discussion is interrupted by the ghoul yowling and pouncing at Arlo. She is faster than the ghoul, and still quite small, but the roof is not a large space, and she seems reluctant to kite the thing any closer to the members of her circle. It catches her as she attempts to take flight and brings her down hard.
Arlo's pained screech as the ghoul pins her to the roof breaks them from their trance. Auggie ignores the ghoul in favor of charging at the man with a yell. He tackles the man, and the medallion he was holding goes flying, skidding to land at Charlotte's feet.
She stomps her heel down onto it, shattering the crystal in the center. The ghoul's head snaps up, its eyes locking onto Charlotte. Arlo uses its distraction to kick it off of her. She springs towards the man Auggie is wrestling, raking her claws across his chest before she pulls Auggie away. Howard has come back to his senses and shoots the man in the leg.
The noise and the scent of blood distract the ghoul long enough for Howard and Arlo to decipher the medallion and use it to banish the ghoul back beyond the Veil. And then the rooftop is quiet, save for the sounds of a man choking to death on his own blood.
Charlotte joins the rest of her circle cautiously, gingerly stepping around the innards strewn across the roof. Her knife is in her good hand, and she sees Howard retrieve his gun from where he'd dropped it. Auggie puts himself in between them and Arlo, spreading his arms wide.
"Don't-" He eyes their weapons anxiously. "She's not gonna hurt you, okay?"
"What is she?" Howard asks at the same time Charlotte asks, "How long has this been going on?"
"We don't know what I am yet," Arlo says. She's barely any taller in this form than she is normally, still small enough to hide behind Auggie. "Our research hasn't exactly been fruitful."
"The first time it happened was a few months back," Auggie says. "After the thing with the haunted theater? And it's only happened maybe five times since."
"Six," Arlo corrects gently. She's keeping her head down, but Charlotte can see the way her eyes have been replaced by fathomless black voids. She wraps her arms around herself, backing away further, her wings fluttering nervously. "You're bleeding, Professor," she whispers. "I can smell it."
Indeed, there is a small gash along his forearm. Charlotte pulls him a few feet away to bandage it, and when she turns back, Auggie has wrapped Arlo in his arms and is whispering something in her ear. One hand is around her waist, while the other strokes the exposed skin of her back between her wings. Arlo whispers something back, and Charlotte can see the tears falling down her face. Inky and black, yes, but tears nonetheless.
She tucks her knife back into her sleeve as she approaches, exchanging a look with Howard. "Can you promise me that she's never harmed anyone?" she asks Auggie.
He bites his lip and holds Arlo a bit tighter. "She's only ever hurt someone that was tryin' to hurt her. Or me."
She and Howard exchange another glance. "We should, uh, report this...affliction to Lightkeeper O'Neil at the very least," he says, taking out a cloth to clean his glasses. "Candela may have a record of something like this happening in the past, who knows. How, uh, how long do these episodes tend to last?"
Auggie shrugs. "Couple hours, usually?" he says. "Long enough for the adrenaline to wear off, I guess?"
"The longest lasted for about six hours," Arlo pipes up.
"Yeah, that," Auggie swallows. "That was a rough one."
Arlo looks between the two of them, and it is shocking how much she can convey with her eyes when there's technically nothing there. "I understand if you're frightened of me," she says. "I'd honestly be a little concerned if you weren't." She glances up at Auggie, and he smiles a little sheepishly, the tips of his ears going red. Charlotte's eyebrows go up, but she decides against pursuing whatever that could mean. She's sure she doesn't want to know.
"I think Howard is right," she says. "Candela does need to know about this. But, if Auggie trusts you?" He nods vehemently. "Then I trust you."
Arlo relaxes, and Auggie grins. "The wings are pretty cool, right?"
Howard surges forward, pulling out his monocle to examine the feathers that appear to be made of the same stuff as her eyes. "They are very cool."

Tough
Piers Nivans x afab!Reader
A/N: never thought I'll be making a fanfic about Piers, but I thought he deserves it. He's amazing. This storyline lands before re6, I have replaced the plot and setting.
Warning: guns, killing, violence, cursing.
She is a beast, a tough woman who handles herself very well. A description of her only contains one single word; a diamond. A diamond as they call her, and she is tough as one but shines like one, too. She is rare to find but very valuable as is. Only top-tier people have her in their hands. That's why she's an American agent who works under the name of their president.
She knows what she wants and what is right. She understands and is very intelligent. That is why the president put so much pressure on her just by trusting her with everything, trusting her to save the world with her and her partner's hand.
She is everything, a woman that seems to be so confident without fear to anything or anyone; even Chris Redfield.
She clenched her jaw as the end of her hand gun was pointed towards the surface of the forehead of Piers Nivans, one of the men of Chris Redfield.
"Choose your shot, Redfield. Your revenge or the sake of people's lives?" She growled, looking to Piers eyes, and shifted it to met Chris.
Piers eyes are shooting daggers to her, frowning his brows as his eyes are dark. He wasn't intimidated about her or the gun she's pointing at him. His hand turned into a fist as his breathing went hard, his heart pounding loudly for unknown reason. He wasn't intimidated, of course, but he felt something scarier inside him. Her reflection shines in his eyes as she looks back to him, sharing the same expression.
Everyone around went quiet, waiting for Chris chosen answer. Leon stands there staring at Chris with a crossed arm, letting his partner burst out her violence to handle the situation.
Chris sighed after a long and intense eye contact with the woman. "Do what she says." Chris announced, looking to all his men around them who seem to be shocked at the woman’s action.
She spared piers and glared before pulling away the gun and backing away a little. She reloaded her gun, dropping the empty hand gun magazine to the ground and replacing it with a new loaded one.
She looked up to Chris. "If you think I'll really shoot one of your men, think again." She hissed with a poison on her words, stinging Chris, whose stoic expression never faded. He didn't bother to reply to what she said. He just looked at her dead straight in the eyes before walking away.
She rolled her eyes and walked in the other direction towards the civilians that they've rescued in one of the building in the City of Europe.
"Is she always like that?" Finn asked, who's one of the men that Chris has in his team. He's referring to the woman who's now aiding one of the civilians. Her taunting eyes are replaced by soft and caring ones.
Leon looked back at him and shrugged with a small smile on his face. "Would Chris listen to her if she's not violent about it?" Leon asked instead, making Finn think deeper and shaking his head, realising she might have a right to be that violent because Chris is blinded by anger and vengeance.
Piers heard their conversation, and he huffed upon hearing it. "Does he need to be the target for it?"He thought, he shook his head, walking towards the supplies tent to get what he needed for the upcoming mission.
"Everyone ready?" Chris asked, looking to all his men and civilians until it landed to Leon with his partner, who will lead the way to the extraction point where the rescuers will pick up the survivors.
They all readied themselves on what's coming to them as soon as they left the camp area where Chris team had settled.
"Let's go, captain." Piers said, assuring Chris before nodding towards Leon as Leon with a gun on his hand led the way with her beside him.
No one said a word as they carefully made their way towards the road up ahead, which is more than 20 minutes walk from the main road.
They have encountered a number of zombies that are stealthily taken out by Leon and his partner as Chris and the other men watched their 6 and surrounds the rescues.
"Shit, path is block." Leon muttered as soon as they encountered the main road with a huge pile of rocks, dirt, and woods that slid down from the mountain not away from the main road.
She opened her comms to contact their agent, Hunnigan. "Hunnigan, road is blocked. Other ways to go to the extraction point?" She asked, looking down to her device, seeing Hunnigan from the other line.
Hunnigan looks back down to her computer, typing around until she finds useful information to tell. "You can go around the forest. There's a trail path when you go to the west side of the road. it's five minutes walk towards it." The agent nodded and muttered a thanks before trailing their way with the use of her device.
"We have to go around." She announced to the others, Chris nodded to her as she walked past him to lead the way. 
Piers eyes pinned to her as she walked past him. He cleared his throat when he felt his heart jump a little, not knowing a reason he shook it off and followed the others.
As they entered the forest once again, nothing could be heard from them, but the cracking of leaves beneath their feet. No one said a word, but they stayed alert, eyes peeled to any danger that could harm them.
For minutes of walking, they stopped in front of a lake. "Is there any other way than this?" Leon complained, not feeling good about hopping in the lake and getting wet or even worse die from anything in it.
She rolled her eyes and looked at her device once again to check another route, but she shook her head. "Only way." She answered, making Leon groan.
"I'll check if it's safe." She volunteered despite the complaints from her partner. She was about to jump in when Piers blocked her with his arms.
"No. It's better if we would go in first." Piers with a low tone voice said and nodded to one of the men who nodded back as they both hopped in the lake. The agent shifted her weight to one of her side with a smirk.
"What a gentleman." She teased with sarcasm, Piers looked back with a smirk and searched around the waters that only stayed at the lower half of their body. The man with Piers raised his thumb as a sign that the waters is cleared.
"Here we go." Leon said before jumping in the water, he hissed as the coldness crept on his body, shaking his hand off that had gotten wet.
She was about to jump in, but Piers raised his hand, offering her a help to assist her down the water. She stared at him for a minute with a small frown, confused by his offer. "Sorry, but I can do it myself, thanks."  She said before jumping beside him, the water splashed towards him a little as he lowered his hand.
"I'm surprised you know how to swim." Piers mocked as they started to make their way into the water, others followed them from behind as Chris watched Piers acting a little different from usual.
"The waters aren't deep. Watch yourself, though you're the one who looks like who couldn't swim." She fired back to his insult with a sly smile, Piers couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as he shook his head.
Meanwhile, Leon was busy leading the way as Finn and Chris shared a knowing look with the interactions they witnessed.
When they reach the land again, she jump back to the land first and offers a hand to Piers, which he accepted.
"So we're near..." Leon stated and looked up to the woods, immediately ducking as bullets started to come in towards them. All of them immediately duck as a response as a bunch of terrorist came attacking, and screams of terror can be heard from rescues, hiding down as an immediate response to the attack.
One terrorist is near Piers that the agent beside him took notice. "Piers!" She shouted and offered him her hand. In a quick second, their mind worked together as their eyes met each other. Piers dodged the punch as he took her hand from behind, tossing her around. She rolled into Piers back and pulled out a roundhouse kick to the terrorists.
Chris men search around, killing single one of the terrorists with the help of the agents.
"Huh, I never knew you could be a great partner." Piers commented as he caught his breath. She shrugged. "Same goes for you... I could be more than that." She smiled and walked towards Leon, leaving Piers with no word to say.
"So you're replacing me now, huh?" Leon teased as they both walked together. She rolled her eyes with a huff.
"As if."
For an hour of walking, they finally reached the extraction point. They made sure that every survivor are taken care of, and no one was left behind.
However, another person came insight. A person they never knew they would see in the midst of the war.
"Jill?" She whispered as she was the one who noticed the person from afar. Leon squinted his eyes beside her and breathed in.
"Well, who would you know. Jill Valentine." Leon announced as Jill walked near them. Her body filled with scratches and bruises while her hand tightly gripped her gun.
Jill sighed in relief as she was pulled into a hug by the agent. Her name slipping pass Jill's lips so as Leon's name who stands beside them, Leon patted Jill's shoulder in response.
"Jill?" A surprised tone visible in Chris voice as her name rang around him. Jill pulled away from the hug, turning to face Chris.
"Chris." With her tired voice, she was able to respond. Her glossy eyes met Chris tough but tired one.
"What happened to you?" Chris asked her, scanning every cut and bruises around her body. Frowning as worries crawled to his spine up to his mind.
"I went to investigate, Neo Umbrella's laboratory it's not far from here." She answered as she was pulled to sat down by the edge of the supply box that was provided by the rescues.
Leon and his partner's eyes met. Their mission are nearing the end, hearing the news that brought by Jill.
"I told you to rest, Jill. You didn't have to force yourself back." Chris stated with a tight and stern voice, but then he sighed. He couldn't get mad at her for some reason. Jill will always have his soft spot, and it has been there for a long time. He was worried about death after losing her to Wesker. Now she was back and alive, and his heart even aches worrying about her. Affraid to lose her upon losing her once.
"I couldn't just sit back, Chris. You know that." Their eyes met, saying a lot to each other without using a word from their lips. The two agents stand between them, letting them finish what they have.
It was definitely awkward to stand in between, but Leon and his partner couldn't waste time as their mission is running out of it.
"I could lead you the way." Jill looked up to Leon and his partner, cutting the tension between her and Chris. Chris sighed, knowing that he couldn't do anything against the determination and stubbornness of Jill.
"That's an honour then."

Prismatic Rose AU (RWBY)
The poll chain is getting a little long and convoluted, so I created a new blog to hold everything.
The polls won't be a single answer. Instead I'll try to work all of the answers together, based off the number of votes each answer gets. If I can, of course.
Aura is present, but is more like DBZ power levels than how it functions in RWBY. A shot to the heart will be as fatal to a Human Huntsman as it would be to anyone else.
Firearms are regular firearms. Dust is instead used to craft weapons, like is alluded to by Ironwood, but never actually seen in the story.
Conclusions:
Jaune Arc
Humble Everydude
Jaune picks up a Broken Sword, his power repairs his sword, can generate a shield, and armour.
When depressed or in a deep fury his sword stays broken, and his armour is rusted. He is nearly invincible, but lacks any real control.
When happy, he literally glows from the light he emits.
Later learns to use and even combine both.
Attacked by Grimm, saved by Ruby. The Grimm was a Gryphon and a number of Beowulves.
Genre: Dark Souls
Ruby Rose
Werewolf: She learns to control her Human / Wolf forms.
Eventually unlocks a middle Wolfen form.
Silver Eyes: Her silver eyes are part of her Werewolf curse, from her connection to the moon. Eventually allows her to dispel darkness and inflict Lunacy.
Strongly dislikes bright sunlight, finding it oppressive. Will hide under her red hood in bright daylight.
Dislikes sitting around and doing nothing. As she learns to open up to her friends, hanging with them counts as doing something.
Dame Sister of the Order of the Sanguine Rose. Still a Novice, (no oath), but she was a Squire, and got her Accolade because of being a natural when fighting the forces of darkness.
Werewolves are normally turned over to the Church. Faith in God is the best way to gain control of their powers. Others can do so by living with wolf packs in the wilds, though they are rarely trusted.
Regeneration: Turned off with Silver, Fire, and direct sunlight. Indirect sunlight dims it. She's mostly fine in her cloak and hood, but better a night.
Extremely high metabolism. She can get blood thirsty if she doesn't eat, but sugar works extremely well. I.e. cookies are MANDATORY.
Pain causes her rage to ignite.
Shield of Faith and Miracle Die: 40K SoB reference. I'll explain if anyone asks.
Powered armour powered by prismatic energies. Summoned with transformation sequence. The catalyst for the transformation is a crescent moon broach with a deep red ruby.
Any equipment she holds while transforming gets turned into a magical girl version of it, like Ghost Rider.
Her scythe, Lunamaria, is made with a steel edge, and an iron blade inlaid with mythril and quicksilver. This allows her to defeat most dark foes without calling upon her moonfallen abilities.
Her Bolt Pistol, Lunalapina, uses custom made rounds, (made a lot easier with Dust forging equipment). She owns rounds customized to fight most dark things. Once converted, her mag changes use her prismatic energy to refill them. Think similar to Dante, but she still has to reload.
She can do something similar to Petal Burst while transformed, except more prismatic.
She can do a less conspicuous long-range teleportation that is guided by her faith, i.e. it cannot be used arbitrarily.
Pyrrha Nikos
A literal angel.
Angels are forbidden from most direct interventions. The exception is for the Creatures of Grimm, or other nefarious beings.
Angels can only whisper into your ear. Devils have the same restriction, but are not known for being good at following rules.
Often the intervention of angels will be perceived, (by the imperceptive), as luck. Others might see them in dreams.
Angels can only directly interact with people who have enough spiritual strength to fully perceive them.
She brought Ruby to save Jaune.
Weiss Schnee
Boreal Elf
Went to Thule University.
Major in Spellcrafting, the most difficult discipline that actually crafts new spells.
Magic affinities are Water, Wind, and Light.
Equipped with the mystical rapier Myrtenaster.
Can summon a Auroran Horse or a Kelpie. Auroran Horses work like Ruin from Darksiders, but made from light that blends into the darkness. Kelpies are water fey horses that are known for their... ill temperament. Will often act out against those that Weiss is irate with. Thoroughly enjoys chewing on Jaune's hair.
Minors in Fey summoning and economics.
Her main Fey summons are a Pixie, Will'o'Wisp, Banshee, and female Dullahan.
Her pixie is mischievous, much to Weiss' vexation. But, she'll only have fun with those Weiss holds dear. Otherwise, they might simply get lost in the woods.
Wil'o'Wisps are incorporeal, and bear the water, wind, and light elements that Weiss is so wonderful with.
For those that don't know their Fey, Banshees are actually extremely loyal to their households. They are washer maids, and the wail is because their beloved family member is going to die. Her powers are water-based, along with a wail that can be modified to work in a wide variety of ways. He touch can chill, and her voice carries the wind.
Her Dullahan carries a great sword with a fluted tip in one hand, and can summon an Auroran horse to ride.
Her Dullahan is Nora, whom largely represents Weiss' desire to not have impulse control and selfishness. Naturally, they clash quite a big.
Her Pixie is Leanan Ren, a Leanan Sidhe. Weiss typically calls her "Leanne". She largely represents Weiss's exceptionalism and selflessness. Her mistress, and her mistress' friends call her "Leeann."
When Leeann and Nora agree, and can convince Weiss, typically leads to epic bouts of violence.
Blake Belladonna
Nekomata (cat Youkai that can take Human form; known for being especially amorous).
Has Changeling blood, but must soon return to her original form.
The only form she is truly comfortable in is that of a black cat, or a black catgirl.
Can become amorphous, and crawl through the shadows, or strike out from them as tendrils. Learns to master greater abilities, think Shadow from DMC.
Class is Ninja, which is basically a Rogue with low-level magic.
Her Youkai blood provides basic shapeshifting. He distant Changeling blood provides more advanced, though less stable shape shifting. Her Ninja abilities allow her to blend into shadow, briefly become intangible, or leave behind figments of herp presence.
Yang Xiao Long
Dragon-blooded, from a Storm Dragon. Got it from Tai's side.
Appears Human.
Can learn to summon dragon features, such as claws, wings, scales, or a tail.
Can eventually learn to transform into a Storm Dragon, though she normally needs a LOT of rage to do so.
Her rage allows her to basically turn Super Saiyan. Which is basically just Yang's regular Semblance, but attached to someone as powerful as Vegeta.
Class is Stormclash Monk. Combines Monk with Bloodrager, with Storm-based spellcaster.
Weapons: Gauntlets, a stone sling, and an Iron Club. She can use all three as a catalyst for her lightning powers, and all count as monk weapons.
Ilia Amitola
Rainbow slime.
Before anyone, including her, knew that she was a sentient lifeform, Jaune finds her on the street and takes care of her.
After watching Jaune fail to flirt with Weiss, she realized she could adopt a Human-like form.
Despite attempts by Blake to convince her otherwise, she sees nothing wrong with being Jaune's pet. He has always taken such good care of her.
She is vexed that she is no longer allowed to sleep with her master. However, he hasn't shown any problem about napping with him if she does so in blob form.
Once Jaune unlocks his grandfather's broken sword, she quite insistently goes with him. He will comply if she does so in blob form, sitting on his shoulder, (and refusing to leave).
Learns to fight along her master.
Penny Polendina
Golem with the soul of Pietro's daughter attached. He was legitimately trying to save his daughter, though the means are not exactly generally accepted. Only Dwarves know how to do this, and most of them would completely refuse to do so.
All mana channels and ley chambres are internal.
Moonfallen
Creatures that have fallen to darkness in the shadow of the moon. The moon reflects light from the sun, and as such is both the basis of the power of the dark creatures, and their bane. The shattered moon remnant of the disaster that created them.
Angel, Fallen
Fey, Unseelie (also Fallen)
Liches
Necromancers
Skeletons
Succubus/Incubus
Vampire
Werewolf
Witch, Black
Creatures of Grimm
Creatures of shadow and enmity.
As enmity builds in an area, a Grimm Fragment is created. This is not visible to those without Shadowsight.
If enough enmity is unleashed at the same time, a Grimm Fragment can be boosted into a full-fledged Grimm.
More commonly, nefarious beings use the Fragments to create Creatures of Grimm to do their bidding, (hopefully).
Some less than ethnical magic users can try to use this as a power source. It can work, or it can create a Creature of Grimm.
When a Creature of Grimm is spotted, it triggers an investigation.
Huntsmen and Huntresses
Those licensed to hunt Creatures of Grimm.
Some are lone vagabonds, others join fraternities or orders-militant.
While fraternities and orders normally have their own rules of conduct, without them Huntsmen are defacto, and often dejure, immune to all by the most heinous of laws.
This is both out of privilege, and out of practicality. On one hand, you want the Huntsman hunting. On the other, trying to bring a Huntsman to trial, unwillingly, is a harrowing ordeal for everyone involved. The Church's Inquisition typically handles rogue Huntsmen.
Because of this, disreputable Huntsmen will often be shunned by most of society.
