FFXIVWrite Day seventeen: Sneaking
with @windupiceheart 's Vertical Height and B'ig Nunh (sorry)
Vertical, B’ig and Babycorn climbed the steps back up to the Eulmore aetheryte plaza. She was getting really sick of climbing these stairs.  On the bright side B’ig Nunh was back and Vertical wasn’t worried anymore! The bad news was that Vertical had been the one to run out of the Beehive and decide where they were going. Which resulted in them getting lost. Again. Thankfully B’ig said he knew pretty much the right way to go from his time here. Which was good! She just wished it didn’t involve so many stairs. “Hmmm…” Babycorn never did get that pot of honey.
Babycorn had nothing to worry about it turns out!
The city of Eulmore was great! What had she even been worried about?! The people were kinda rude, sure, but the food they had was really good! It sorta had this really sweet taste to it? Whatever it was, Babycorn had never tasted anything like it before. 
She loved eating meol! So much that she had grabbed as much of it as she could carry and had stuffed it into her bag. “You sure you don’t want some?” Babycorn picked up another piece of meol and waved it around at Vertical, who was walking besides her. “They’re really tasty!!” 
Vertical looked down and once again shook her head. “no thanks.” This had been the fifth time in the last minute that Babycorn had asked if she wanted some suspicious bread.
“Aww! Why not? It’s really tastyyyyy!”
This was also the fifth time in the last minute that Babycorn had told her how tasty it was.
“i’m not really that hungry.” 
Vertical had eaten lunch with the others earlier. It was a complementary picnic that included fruit salad, prepared by the Crystal Exarch himself. He had left a written note saying so. 
Eating that fruit salad made her miss B’ig Nunh even more than usual. 
“If you say soooo!” Babycorn would probably ask Vertical if she wanted some in just a few more seconds. 
“try not to eat too many.”
“Hmmph?” Babycorn tried to ask what Vertical meant but her mouth was full. 
“you might get a tummy ache.” Vertical warned. There was also something to be said from accepting food from such obviously rich white people. Free food that might as well have come with a giant WARNING sign on top of it. 
For the first time since arriving at Gatetown, Babycorn paused her munching. 
Of all the worst feelings in the world a tummy ache was one of the worst. She’s had a lot of experience with them, none of them good obviously. The small Lunya in her head reminded her what had happened when she licked those poison frogs too. Though this was totally different. 
Those memories of tummy aches past was enough for Babycorn to put the meol she was currently in the middle of eating, back in her bag. 
“Ummm…” Babycorn tried to think of anything that would distract her from wanting to eat more meol, “Where did Alphinaud tell us to investigate again?” 
“somewhere called the beehive i think.” Vertical looked down at her hand where Babycorn had written the name of the place they were tasked to go to. Except Babycorn had no idea how to write words so she just drew a funny picture of a bee on Vertical’s hand. Which Vertical just let her do because she was cool like that. 
Babycorn froze mid-step. “Y-You don’t think there’s gonna be actual bees in there? D-D-Do you???” There were too many bad experiences Babycorn had with bess. Most of them were her fault for trying to get some honey from their hives but that didn’t matter right now. 
“probably not.” Vertical answered. How would she know? She’d never been here. She needed to be honest. “if there are bees i’ll protect you.”
“Are you gonna punch em’?!” 
“yeah.” 
“You’re so cool Vertical!!” 
“thank you.” Vertical smiled and began to wonder if kicking bees would be better than punching them.
There wasn’t too much time to think about it because they had finally reached the doors to the Beehive. There wasn’t a sign on there or anything but the map that they had gotten when they entered Eulmore as servants told them that this was the place. 
Alphinaud had circled the Beehive in red with twenty also red arrows pointing to it to make sure that neither Babycorn or Vertical could miss it.
Somehow they had both missed it and ended up in the gaol earlier but it's okay because they made it here eventually and no one had to know they had gotten lost getting to it. 
“Yay!! We made it!” Babycorn cheered and accidently threw the map into the air. The wind picked it up and blew it all the way off of Eulmore. Vertical and Babycorn watched as the map flew away in the wind and fluttered all the way down to the ocean.
“...We don’t need that anymore right?” 
“p-probably not.”
Babycorn and Vertical let out a pair of synchronized shocked gasps when a seagull snatched the map from the air. Carrying off any hopes that the wind would turn and bring the map back to them.
“any chance you’ve been leaving bread crumbs as we’ve been walking?”
“I thought about it but I’m too used to Cherry eating them behind me…” Babycorn laughed nervously and tapped her fingers together.
“Hmm.” There went that plan. “we’ll be fine.”
The pair of opulent doors leading to the Beehive opened in front of them, letting them walk right in. With nothing else better to do, Vertical and Babycorn walked in. 
“Woooooow!” Babycorn looked all around with wonder sparkling in her eyes. This place looked like something out of a fairy tale!  All the furniture and everything looked so fancy! Even the people sitting around looked all fancy too!  
It was a little dark though but Babycorn guessed that’s what the fancy lights were for. 
“wowie.” Vertical said. 
“This place looks fun Vertical!” 
Vertical looked over to the stage and noticed the many half-dressed people dancing to the music. “i guess.” Seeing so many people partly dressed reminded her of her bestie B’ig Nunh and how he wasn’t here. He had traveled here with her but in the middle of the magical transit here they had both gotten separated. 
Good news, B’ig Nunh was on the First. Bad news, she had no idea where.
“Vertical! Vertical! Check it out!” Babycorn tugged on her coat and led her towards the bar. “They’re serving food I think! Do you think they sell pots of honey?!” 
“you could go ask.” 
“Good idea!” Babycorn skipped away to go ask and Vertical watched as she left. Which made her miss the shirtless cat boy wildly flailing at her to try and get her attention. 
Lucky for him, Vertical’s B’ig Nunh senses had not been dulled during their separation. 
Sensing something was amiss, Vertical turned around just in time to see a shirtless B’ig crying out to her. Literally he was crying while also doing his best to dance, though it wasn’t his forte. 
“b’ig!” Vertical yelled out in lowercase. 
“VERTICAAAAAAL!!!!!” B’ig yelled out in uppercase. Those that had just been watching the show that had no idea they were witnessing an emotional reunion were just really confused. 
At that very moment a disappointed Babycorn had come back from the bar in tears. “Verticaaaaal they told me to quit joking around and come back when I order something for reaaaal!” This left Babycorn so heartbroken she had forgotten all about the dangers of stomach pain and decided to ease her sorrows by eating some more meol. 
Babycorn had just taken out another meol to eat when Vertical scooped her up like a football. She let out a surprised squeak but Babycorn was just so used to being carried around by now she didn’t even question it.
What she did question was why Vertical covered her eyes as she started to run towards the stage. Which they just let her do for some reason. 
“Why are you covering my eyes?” Babycorn asked between bites.
“don’t worry about it”
Sad to say she was a little worried about it. “Are we gonna get on stage and dance too?!” 
“no. sorry.”
“Okay that’s good.” Babycorn would have rather jumped off of Eulmore than dance on that stage. Her stage fright would have not let her do anything but freeze up like a popsicle if someone put her on that stage. 
Vertical closed in on the stage and B’ig discreetly danced his way closer to her until they were finally pretty much face to face with each other. “I missed youuuu!” B’ig was still crying and dancing in an effort to not raise any suspicions.
“me too!” Underneath her eyepatch Vertical was tearing up too. “okayy buddy let’s go home.” There was going to be a lot of catching up for Vertical to do. How much did B’ig really know about their current predicament? Surely the Crystal Exarch wouldn’t mind giving another long explanation again. 
“Vertical they took my clothes. :(“ 
“then let’s go get them back.” 
Babycorn managed to sneak a peek at who Vertical was talking to. While she recognized the voice she had no idea why Vertical was talking to this weird half-naked cat boy she had never met once in her entire life.  
Tumblr media
For the sake of simplicity, B’ig’s clothes were currently being kept backstage in the Beehive. Sneaking backstage proved to be as easy as just walking into the Beehive itself. Vertical and B’ig tried to look as unsuspicious as they could while walking through the 
What wasn’t easy was for Vertical to keep her hands over Babycorn’s eyes. Babycorn didn’t seem to mind or suspect there was anything wrong with being continued to be carried and kept in the dark (literally) she was used to this by now.
“Who are you talking to anyway Vertical?”
“b’ig nunh.” 
Babycorn was confused. That guy she saw didn’t look anything like B’ig Nunh! Where was his funny hat and his cool vest? His pants were all wrong too! For starters he was actually wearing a pair. Babycorn let Vertical know all the inconsistencies. 
She felt like a real detective!
Meanwhile B’ig was a little hurt that one of his friends didn’t recognize him. It broke his little heart.
“its because they took his clothes.”
“Ew! So he’s naked right now?!” Babycorn put one of her hands over Vertical’s. She really didn’t wanna see something like that!
“I’m not naked!” B’ig protested. “Only my shirt is gone!” 
“Eww!!!!!!!” Babycorn munched louder. 
B’ig noticed Babycorn chowing down on some more meol. “Don’t tell me you’re actually eating that stuff?” He had been offered meol on his very first day here but he had politely refused it, sensing that there was something off with it. 
“Yeah!” Babycorn took another bite of her meol. “It’s tasty!!”
It was well known among Babycorn’s friends that if Babycorn found something tasty there was a 50/50 chance that it was actually tasty, the other half meant that it probably tasted something like mud or something. 
“if you didn’t eat meol what did you eat?” Vertical asked. She hoped that he hadn’t gone this long without eating anything. She hadn’t saved anything for him to eat!
B’ig Nunh sighed, for a long time. “I still had some raw spaghetti that Babycorn gave me so I just cooked some of that and tried to make it last as long as I could. I also had to eat all the sandwiches I was holding on for you!! I’m sorry Vertical!!!” Those sandwiches had been the first to go.
Vertical gave B’ig a sympathetic pat on the head. “it’s ok.” There would be other sandwiches but just one B’ig Nunh. 
“Stop right there!” 
Vertical and B’ig (and also Babycorn) froze in place. Right in front of them was a eulmore guard, how they had failed to notice him was a question that would mostly likely never be answered.
“Who are your patrons?” 
“Celric!” B’ig answered without missing a beat. He nervously looked at Vertical to see what she would answer. 
“same.” Hopefully this guard wouldn’t look too deep to find out that she was lying.
Babycorn continued eating meol without a care in the world. “Lord Vauthry” She answered. 
The guard looked almost scared to hear Babycorn say that. “I see. Carry on then!” Then just as quickly as he showed up. He had left again into the vague backdrop of this scene. All three of them held their breath as he walked away, only breathing easy once he was out of sight.
“That was close…” B’ig wiped some non-existent sweat off his brow.
“yeah……..” Vertical set Babycorn down on the ground but made sure she was still covering her eyes. “by the way where did you even get that name from? doesn’t sound familiar.”
“I don’t know!” Babycorn shrugged, “Just popped into my head!”
Tumblr media
As it turned out B’ig’s clothes were being conveniently stored in a supply closet way in the back of the backstage way past the dressing rooms. 
Vertical and Babycorn stood guard of the closet while B’ig changed inside. 
“Um Vertical?” 
“yeah? what’s up?”
“How are we going to break out of this place?” Surely they couldn’t just walk out of here with one of their dancers? Could they?
“i’m going to pick both of you up and run really fast.” 
“Ooooh! Ok! Sounds fun!” 
What could go wrong?

ffxivwrite 2023: fulsome
Tumblr media
To Yuma, Eulmore was like if someone magicked a cake and turned it into a city. Layer upon layer of jewels and gilt, gold-leaf and crystal sconces, royal purple velveteen drapes and rose water fountains, gemstones and gold thread on every stitch of clothing, great glass windows open to everlasting light. Food and sweets and drinks flowed never-ending, and the bejeweled lords and ladies lounged in their glamourous opulence. Music played at all hours of the day, and sickly sweet notes drifted downwind to tickle the souls of every unfortunate beggar scraping and dreaming in the stinking shanty towns.
Alphinaud had been spirited away to be dressed in new clothes, leaving Yuma plenty of free time to explore. She thought briefly of casting a line over the promenade and seeing what kind of blighted fish she could catch, but that was most likely illegal. Instead, she found herself marveling at the array of decorated meol within the parlor. There were plates and trays heaping with meol, some savory and served with caviar and mother-of-pearl spoons, and some sweet with the softest pastel icing drawn in whorls and rivulets.
She saw some other bonded citizens helping themselves, so Yuma curiously took a meol with pink icing and bit into it. The meol was fluffy, like a dinner roll, and vaguely sweet. It wasn't bread though, and it wasn't quite like mochi either, but the texture was rather similar to meat, though that can't be right.
Yuma looked at a stack of plates, and was surprised to find that the pile meant for free citizens were carved from amethyst and framed with gold to match the colors of Eulmore. The bonded citizens had plain white plates, but even those still had the popular gold-leaf trim.
She filled a plate with meol and took it back to Alphinaud. Maybe he'd appreciate a snack.

Doom At Your Service had a really great premise but its dialogues always frustrated me.
Take the first scene between Meolmang and the girl goddess (Sonyo-shin) in episode 1.
------#
He walks up to her as she gazes down at a park from the hospital rooftop.
Meolmang is annoyed because a man had just killed half a dozen people, and death and destruction is Doom's domain.
He asks the goddess why she doesn't take better care of her "garden".
She says it's not her place. Then she calls him a butterfly fated to hover over her plants.
Meolmang asks for how long.
She says for eternity.
He looks mad and asks if this is how she'll treat him on his birthday.
She tells him to go grant a human's wish because even his birthday is in service to humans.
Meolmang looks even more upset and says "It's time for the plants to wither."
-----#
Who wrote this??
Presumably, the goddess and Meolmang have known each other through hundreds of years, maybe millennia!
They must have had the same conversations over and over again.
Meolmang must have been told that he's trapped in this role for eternity a million times before.
She must have told him to go serve the humans in just such an imperious manner a billion times before.
But their entire conversation is constructed like they're discussing his job description as Doom for the first time in his existence.
Where is the sense of history? Where is the rhythm of a conversation that has been had so many times you can complete each other's sentences? Why was it so damned stilted??!
Sigh.
I still love this drama enough to rewatch though. 💛🫣
On to episode 2 I go.

Ranking ff14 villains based on how well they work a grill
Gaius Van Baelsar: As a father of 100 he is likely the best at working a grill on this list. But he has gone through a phase of intentionally scorching the meat to be barely edible believing that if the consumer was strong it would not bother them. 5/10 is trying to be better about this but the damage has been done
Nidhogg: He hates mankind, He hates the grill for it is a creation of man. 0/10 More likely to burn the cookout than participate in it
Thordan VII: One, he's too up his own ass to work the grill himself, he made the Heavensward knights do it for him. two, even if he did bother to do it himself he's more likely to burn his beard. 1/10, he atleast has hands to work a grill
Zenos Yae Galvus: Despite the saying about autism and working the grill this sadly does not apply to Zenos. his rich boy upbringing ensured he would never touch a grill much less a spatula. 3/10 he can chop meat like a champ however.
Yotsuyu: Able to cook the perfect well done steak even while high off the opium she's smoking from her pipe however she has bad memories of doing it and would rather not touch a grill again. 6/10 the skills are present but they are not used
Lord Vauthry: Only thing he can cook is Meol which i will not explain why that's an issue. 0/10
Emet-selch: Hate's the grill, despises the grill, rejects the grill, The grill hates him back. 0/10
Fandaniel: he is the master of the grill but he doesn't use his skill to make good food, he uses his skill to kill everyone in the room including himself, whether it be propane explosion or food poisoning. 10/10 His skills cannot be doubted but nor can they be trusted.

DITTO - do you want somebody? like i want somebody?
PROLOGUE - THE DEBUT
Tumblr media
pairing :: riki x fem!idol!reader
synopsis :: yn, the leader of girl group trio ATTRACTION, has a major crush on ENHYPEN’s maknae, nishimura riki, since before her debut in 2022. she related to him, confided in his photocards, and befriended the idea of him, so much so that she fell in love with someone who barely knew of her. when she debuts under the same label as him, HYBE, the tables start to turn when she starts to realize that who he is isn’t the same person she fell in love with, all while nishimura riki starts to fall for her. what could possibly go wrong?
word count :: ~3k
warnings :: this is super weird i’m sorry. very cringe, mention of food, mentions of obsession (?), the general stuff idk i haven’t proof-read this
previous  masterlist  next  
Tumblr media
“ATTRACTION is up next, manager park,” a female staff member said. “5 minutes,”
“ok, got it,” manager park turned towards the trio of girls who were getting the final touches of their hair and makeup. “you girls ready?”
“yes, manager park,” the girls said in unison. after a moment or so, when the stylists gave them the go-ahead that they were ready to leave, they walked towards the wings where they were to stand until they were to stand on stage. sungie clutched yn’s hand and gave it a firm squeeze, and the girls wrapped their arms around one another’s shoulders before starting their chant.
“i’m hot, you’re hot, we’re all hot, because this is ATTRACTION!” they shouted in unison, squeezing each other in a group hug.
they scurried onto the stage, bowing lightly to greet their sunbaes, before arranging themselves behind them. recording started not even a minute later.
“today we have some very special guests,” mc sunghoon starts.
“a girl group that debuted just today,” mc wonyoung continued.
“please welcome ATTRACTION!” both bank presidents exclaimed, sliding to the side, putting the girls front and center.
“anneyoung, lovelies! we are ATTRACTION,” the the trio exclaimed, bowing down before making finger hearts. 
“since it’s your first time on the show, please introduce yourself!” mc wonyoung said, smiling. the girls smiled wide, letting yn take the lead.
“anneyoung, lovelies! i’m leader yn, nice to meet you!” yn exclaimed, stepping forward a bit, bowing her head a little before throwing a kiss at the camera.
“hellooooo, i’m maknae sungie! i’m so excited to be on music bank!” sungie exclaimed, before making a confused expression, searching for something in the pocket of her brown school-skirt, before flashing a finger heart and an exaggerated wink towards the camera. yn and pae-ri, who were used to her antics, stifled a giggle, whereas sunghoon and wonyoung laughed silently yet uncontrollably, slowly backing away from the camera frame.
“annyeonghaseyo! i’m pae-ri, the main dancer of ATTRACTION!” pae-ri said, doing a dance move on the spot, before laughing a little from embarrassment. the music bank mc’s clapped before returning back to their places.
“please tell us a little about you debut mini-album, PHOTOREALISTIC,” sunghoon directed. 
“of course! PHOTOREALISTIC consists of five songs, which are ditto, still don’t know my name, love dive, hollywood, and omg!.” yn exclaimed, pointing one of her right-hand fingers up whenever she stated a new song title. “sungie and i have our own songs on the album as well! i collaborated with american artist, labrinth, on still don’t know my name. we both wrote and sung the song, and he produced it! sungie co-wrote and sung omg!”
“we collaborated on two songs on the album, as well! as yn said, we have labrinth on still don’t know my name, and the black skirts on hollywood!” pae-ri added.
“waah, that’s so cool!” wonyoung sunbae exclaimed, clapping excitedly. “can we get a little teaser off of your title track?”
“yes! five, six, seven, eight, stay in the middle, like you a little, don't want no riddle, malhaejwo say it back, oh, say it ditto, achim-eun neomu meol-eo so say it ditto~” the girls sung the chorus to ditto, doing a little bit of the choreography at the same time. 
wonyoung sunbae and sunghoon sunbaenim clapped and cheered, and attempted to do some of the choreography as well, but ended up unsuccessfully. 
“gosh, that’s so good!” mc sunghoon exclaimed, smiling wide. “what is your favourite song off of the album?”
“hmm, i really like hollywood! it’s a really soft-ish song, and it was so, so much fun working with the black skirts, and i think it matches the overall vibe of the album really well!” sungie answered first, after lifting her hand up. the girls hummed in agreement.
“i really like love dive! i love the choreography and it’s a really fun song to sing and dance to, so i can’t wait until we perform it on stage!” pae-ri exclaimed, clapping her hands a little.
“i think i really like still don’t know my name. i wrote that song with labrinth literally in almost no time- the song basically wrote itself. he’s our producer’s friend, and he was in seoul for, like, two-ish weeks, and we somehow ended up writing the song together! it’s a really honest and raw song, about both of our experiences, so, yeah! i think that’s my favourite!” yn rambled, moving her hands a lot.
“please do tell what the meaning behind PHOTOREALISTIC is!” sunghoon oppa exclaimed, motioning the girls to talk. 
yn spoke up, given that she wrote most of the songs off the album. “it’s essentially a story about how someone paints a picture of a person that’s so realistic that it becomes real to them. essentially the picture becomes so photorealistic hehe-” she threw a wink at the camera. “-that when they meet the person they painted a picture of, all of their ideas are met with negativity and the entire picture they painted is ruined, and all of the feelings that were there aren’t there anymore,” she rushed out, trying to explain the entire concept to the mc’s.
“very cool! we and music bank wish you good luck with your debut!” wonyoung sunbae exclaimed.
“we will performing the lead song off of our album PHOTOREALISTIC, which is ditto, here as music bank, so stay tuned to watch it!” pae-ri exclaimed.
“now off to the stage!” sunghoon sunbaenim declared.
“...and CUT!” the director said, and, one by one, all five idols left the frame. once out of frame, the girls let out a breath of relief, laughing a little.
“jesus, i was so nervous i thought i was gonna pass out,” yn panted out, hands on knees and all, as if she was out of breath.
“nooooo yn you did amazing,” wonyoung said, before hugging her.
“thank you, unnie,” yn smiled. “you, too, sunghoon oppa,”
“good luck with your stage!” sunghoon said, patting sungie’s, pae-ri’s, and yn’s heads. “we’ll let you guys get ready,” wonyoung nodded.
“thank youuu,” pae-ri said, latching onto yn from the back. 
their sunbaes left the room the girls finally let themselves freak out, letting the fact that they’ve debuted finally sink in. they jumped in their place a little, before yn stopped them- “you’ll wrinkle your clothes and ruin your hair,” she scolded.
Tumblr media
after ATTRACTION came ENHYPEN, with their comeback stage for MANIFESTO: DAY 1, their stage being paradoxxx invasion. yn’s eyes stayed on a certain maknae who has a passion for dancing. when he accidently looked her way- y’know, as one does-, she averted her eyes from him to someone else, like jungwon sunbae or sunoo oppa- yn and pae-ri were friends with them because of the amount of times they had run into one another in the dance studios and the HYBE cafeteria. they were close enough that they had exchanged numbers and private twitters. 
once ENHYPEN got off stage, the trio of girls praised the septet of boys for their performance and their comeback, and they congratulated the girls on their debut. 
riki’s eyes lingered on yn for a moment or two, but he was out of her vision, so she paid no heed to him, despite how much she wanted to.
Tumblr media
HYBE and BELLE had a joint debut party for ATTRACTION, the night of their mini-album release. it was a small party, with the trio, the managers, and some other 4th gen idols and groups- yn could’ve sworn that she saw p1harmony and jeongin from stray kids on the guest list. 
the girls of ATTRACTION got ready together in their shared dorm- pae-ri was in charge of hair and makeup, sungie was in charge of wardrobe, and yn was handling the music as the dj. she connected her phone to a speaker and put one of her dance playlists on shuffle. they had decided on the theme of the party together- only the keywords of ‘whimsical’ and ‘dreamlike’ supplied on the invite. 
they all wore dresses that resembled the album cover- pae-ri wore a pale blue, sungie an off-white, and yn a sea-foam green. sungie was holding an eyeshadow palette and was delicately applying eyeshadow on pae-ri’s lids, humming omg! under her breath, while yn was working her locks through a hair curler. after letting out a small sound of satisfaction when finished and applied a light coat of hair spray and turned the straightener on for sungie. she then started to part pae-ri’s hair to braid it. 
after an hour or so of getting ready, the girls were all sitting in the room where the party was to be held, just about fifteen minutes before it was going to start. in the meanwhile, they all just took pictures of one another, posing in front of the large banner that spelt out ‘ATTRACTION’S PHOTOREALISTIC DEBUT PARTY !!!’ in large words, that was graffiti-fied with gold and silver paint markers, from yours truly. they also got manager park to take a picture of all three of them together, in various silly poses, just basking in enjoyment before everyone else came.
not even minutes later, soobin sunbaenim and jungwon oppa barged in with their respective groups, popping blue and green confetti cannons, with the rest of their groups wearing party hats and holding kazoo’s, with the older ones playing the latter as well. 
“yah, let’s get this party started!” yeonjun oppa screamed.
Tumblr media
one by one, the guests came in, more people than originally estimated, and the room was filled to the brim. the album was playing in the background while everyone ate cake and ice cream that the girls had cut, and the staff handed it out to everyone. 
different idols came and went, congratulating the girls and giving really positive feedback to them, some of their sunbaes even giving their phone numbers for any advice or questions that needed to be asked. 
eventually, most of everyone left, eventually leaving the girls alone with ENHYPEN and LE SSERAFIM. the latter gave the girls a big, big hug, leaving a kiss on each cheek, before saying that they’ll meet the girls tomorrow at lunch. after they left, junwon and sunoo gave the girls a hug as well. jay and sunghoon struck a conversation with pae-ri about a recent runway that happened, and heesung and jake got sungie to take a few pictures of them together, as well as a few selfies of all three of them together, in front of the banner- all while jungwon and sunoo left to “get a quick little surprise for you three! you’ll love it i swear!” that left yn alone with riki, who was pretty much quiet for the entire party. 
“yn, right? um, congrats on your debut,” riki said, clapping a short, few times. yn’s ears turned red ever-so slightly, hoping that he wouldn’t notice, and thanked him profusely, smiling sweetly at him, to which he returned. 
“ah, thank you, thank you,” she exclaimed, ignoring the fact that he had to confirm her name from her.
“it’s really impressive how you’ve written most of the songs- you’re what, 16? it’s really cool how you managed to do that!” riki grinned, while yn’s smile faltered a little. well, yes, it was impressive, it just didn’t necessarily sound like a compliment. 
“oh, uh, thanks!” she said anyways, and jungwon and sunoo barged in right then and there. she thanked whatever deity was up there, and turned her attention towards them. 
“yah, what’s this?” pae-ri asked, as the duo struggled to balance a large, black box in between this. 
“be patient!” sunoo playfully scolded, letting the box rest down on a large table. the girls shuffled closer, and jungwon removed the top only to reveal-
“dudes, you struggled to pick up this? together?” sungie exclaimed, albeit happily, taking out a plain, black sweatshirt, snuggling into it. 
“it’s heavier than it looks-” sunoo starts, but was cut off by jungwon.
“it’s ok, hyung,”
the box was filled with three pairs of black hooded sweatshirts and sweatpants, and three bulky duffel bags that had toiletries in them, as well as other bits and bobs, like energy drinks and snacks. there was also an envelope in the middle, which when opened, showed a bunch of fast food coupons. 
“it’s for your practice sessions! it’s our good luck present to you!” heesung exclaimed warmly.
“ahhh, thank you so much!” yn said happily. she picked up a duffel bag, something that she has been meaning to get, a new one and store the one that she had been using since her trainee days.
“nice, there’s gatorade in here as well,” pae-ri whispered to herself.
“there’s no need to thank us! you guys supported us a lot during our comeback, even though you haven’t debuted, and so it was necessary that we do, too!” jake said, hugging sungie, who was closest to him.
the girls bowed deeply, thanking them a few more times, until jungwon told them to stop, because he was starting to get embarrassed.  
“but in all seriousness, thank you so much, i don’t think you realize how much this means to us,” yn gushed, thanking them again.
“it was no big deal, we promise,” sunghoon said, patting their heads.
they all then said their goodbyes, and left one by one, leaving the girls alone. riki lingered for a moment or two- or had yn imagined it all? - but left behind his hyungs. 
the girls were silent, engulfing one another in a big group hug, and manager park had said that she and the staff will get everything cleaned up and that the girls could rest and tuck in for the night. 
they managed to pick up the box together- and, bless his heart, sunoo was right. it was heavier than what it looked like. still, they managed to lug it to the lobby and into the trunk of one of the company cars, which was driving them to their dorms.
they were silent for most ride, with sungie sitting in the middle and leaning her head on yn’s shoulder, dozing off slowly. pae-ri was watching a dance video and yn was listening to a random playlist on spotify. she was gazing out of the window, passing the streetlights and lampposts.
yn opened up her phone, making sure that sungie was completely asleep before selecting a few photos from the party that she took on her phone. she scanned each and every photo, making sure that the brunet dancer was in frame and in focus in the photo, before shifting them to a locked album that was titled ‘nk’. she went through the album once, skipping to all the way up, to which when she saved screenshots of the idol from when he was on i-LAND, and saved twitter and pinterest posts of pictures of when he was younger, much younger.
one thing that most people don’t know about yn is that when she got obsessed with something, she would get obsessed, so much so that she would make it her entire life. most of these obsessions were short lived, not exceeding more than a couple of months, but it was different this time. this obsession had lived for just about two years, perhaps even more. maybe it started when she was a trainee at BELLE and was visiting the HYBE head office for something she didn’t remember, and she saw him in the lobby. maybe it was when she saw him on screen for the first time, when he entered the i-LAND building. sometime then, she thinks, locking her phone when sungie shifts a little.
Tumblr media
once they arrived at their dorms, and after they managed to haul the box and the rest of the immense amount of gifts they received from their friends and fellow idols, the girls started to get un-ready in silence, too tired to have a proper conversation. manager park had texted yn privately, saying that they will be going live in the morning, after they posted pictures from the debut party. yn replied with an ‘ok!’ and started to wipe off her makeup and brush through her hair.
she texted her mom once, seeing if she was awake to call for a little bit, since she was so busy the entire day that she wasn’t able to talk to her family. she waited a bit, but when she was left on ‘sent’, she scrolled through her twitter, and since she followed a bunch of idols today, a lot of pictures of the party came up on her timeline. she smiled, liking them all, commenting on a few. jungwon and sunoo, as well as all the older members posted pictures of them with the girls. she liked and retweeting them with funny comments. she noticed that riki didn’t post anything- but then again, he didn’t give her his twitter, even when he saw his members giving theirs. even though she was a little heartbroken, but she was too tired to do anything. 
‘yah, yn, we have a live to do tomorrow morning, go to bed’ pae-ri’s text woke yn up from her daze, and she replied with an ‘okkkk’ and set an alarm for six am, four hours from when she was awake. she knew that she didn’t have to be awake until nine, but she wanted to hit the gym at HYBE for a bit before anything else to wake herself up for a bit. she also wanted to vlog tomorrow morning, so it would serve as viable content to post.
she put her phone on charge, shutting off her lights, and snuggled into her comforter, smiling to herself, finally feeling happy and content after years and years. 
she let a tear slip from the corner of her eye. not a tear of sadness or sorrow, but of happiness, because yn finally thought that things were going her way.

Lalapril 4/29: Light
guest starring @windupiceheart’s everyone’s good friend b’ig nunh 
Cherrypit ran ahead of his sister. 
She had been acting strange ever since she woke up so he was a little worried. This whole situation was messed up! Why was that meanie doing something like this to them?! What had they ever done to him?!
Cherrypit waited for his sister to catch up as she slowly walked ahead, her hands covering her mouth.
From his waiting place, Elidibus frowned.
...What was the last thing Babycorn remembered?
Was it something about Ardbert?
No, wait. It wasn’t Arbert. It was an Ascian.
She didn’t quite know which one. It felt like she should know.
“Hmm…?”
Babycorn blinked again and again. No matter how many times she blinked, her surroundings stayed the same. Everywhere she looked was a bright white. There were no landmarks, no ground, no anything she could discern.
It felt like somebody had trapped her inside an empty canvas.
Which she really hoped wasn’t the case.There was no time to be trapped somewhere like this! She still had to chase after not-Ardbert and give him a piece of her mind after he decided to bully her and Cherrypit with all these stupid illusions or whatever.
Babycorn paused, then looked around some more, this time with more panic than before.
Could this be another one of not-Ardbert’s mean tricks? Just like the last few? What was his goal in messing with them like this?! Where was she?! 
Where was Cherrypit?!
Suddenly it felt like Babycorn finally woke up.
Her eyes went wide with shock when she realized that it didn’t matter where she was really. What actually mattered was that Cherrypit wasn’t with her. “Cherry? Cherry?!” Babycorn jumped to her feet and called out to him as loud as she could.
Babycorn started to run.
But no matter how much she ran, she got the feeling she wasn’t going anywhere.
It was just like that time she tried to run on a frozen lake. No matter how much her legs moved, she stayed in one place. While everyone else had a much easier time. Including Cherrypit who simply slid across the ice while standing in place.
The memory made Babycorn laugh. It also made her a little bit sad, but she had no idea why.
Regardless, she didn’t have time to feel anything right now, especially since there was still no sign of Cherrypit anywhere.
Babycorn stopped.
She felt her stomach grumble.
“Ow…” There was a sharp pain in both her stomach and head. She couldn’t decide what part to hold in pain. The pain had caught her so off guard that it caused Babycorn to drop to her knees.
Only momentarily though. It took only a few seconds for her to get back up. The pain had disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. “Huh…” Babycorn nervously smiled. It wasn’t her first encounter with sudden pain and it probably wouldn’t be her last.
Living with an eternally bleeding wound on your stomach sort of got you used to that.
Babycorn looked down at her white dress for any abnormalities. Thankfully there weren’t any stains that she could see but she did see something else.
The shadow of someone standing right in front of her.
“Ahh-!!?” Babycorn jumped back in fear. Though she had wished for someone to appear and help her, she never actually expected someone to show up.
Recognizing that she wasn’t alone anymore, Babycorn’s fear quickly switched to curiosity as she looked up to see who had joined her.
The faint image of a dark red-haired miqo'te flickered in front of her. He was wearing a really fancy uniform, though the uniform was a little torn in some places. Almost like he had been in a big fight before this or something.
Or at least, that’s what Babycorn figured.
His eyes were a dark blue and they were looking right down at her. Babycorn gave him the benefit of the doubt. It's not like there was anything else to look at around here anyway.
It was kind of scary but it was nice to see someone here with her. Especially someone who looked like they were nice.
“Hi! My names Babycorn!” She extended her hand out as far as she could so she could shake this stranger’s hand. It was something she had recently learned people did and she was very excited whenever she got the opportunity to try this cool new thing out.
The strange miqo'te remained silent, only staring down at her.
Babycorn did not find this strange one bit.
“Did you get trapped here too?” Babycorn looked around again. Even if the other ten times she had done this had proved fruitless, there was still the chance she might have missed something. “Don’t worry! We’ll find our way out and get back home! I-I’m sure of it!” Babycorn knew she was saying this more to convince herself than this stranger but there had to be something she could do to help!
The weird stranger only watched in silence as Babycorn stepped all around him., desperately looking for anything that would lead them out of where they were trapped.
Suddenly, the stranger spoke.
“Monty. My name is Monty.”
Babycorn looked up in surprise.
“Monty?” It was nice to hear someone else’s voice! “Nice to meet you! I’m Babycorn Corn!” It was polite to also introduce yourself after someone else does. It was something she had also learned by now.
“Don’t worry Monty! I’ll find us a way out of here!
Babycorn still wasn’t sure how they got trapped in here but surely if they made their way in that meant there was a way out, and she was going to find it.
Monty looked down at her.
Their gazes met and Babycorn froze.
She recognized that look.
A terrified smile crossed her face as she began to slowly back away from Monty. “W-We’re not doing anything…” The familiar saying escaped her lips without a second thought. It felt as if she was backed up into an alley in Ul’dah all over again.
Monty stepped closer to her, his eyes glued to her.
“I hate you.”
Babycorn tried to cover her ears.
“How could you?!”    
A number of silhouettes began to emerge from the white surrounding them. They were flickering in place just like Monty was. Babycorn could see their mouths moving but she couldn’t hear anything that they were saying. She didn’t recognize any of them either.
There were so many of them.
All of them looked so different.
“How could you do this to us?!”
Babycorn shook her head, over and over. “I get it! I get it!! You can stop!” It wasn’t like she had forgotten about the people she had hurt back then. How was she supposed to know?! She wouldn’t have known! She must have hurt a lot of people!
Otherwise why would so many people in Ul’dah have hated them?
Suddenly, Babycorn noticed something in front of her.
Monty was stretching out his arm towards her, he was holding something in his hand. Then, without a second thought, Babycorn got closer to see what he was holding. When she saw that it was a simple piece of meol she didn’t think too much about it.
Then it all came rushing back.
The way she had accepted the offer to eat meol, falling under Vauthry’s control, attacking her friends, Thancred telling her that meol was made of sin eaters…
How she couldn't remember how many pieces of meol she had actually eaten.
“This is me.” Monty held the meol closer to Babycorn. “This was me.”
“Stop…”
Babycorn’s desperate whispers were drowned out by the people around her holding up their own piece of meol. A piece of themselves. Telling her that this was them. Whispering their names to her. Shouting their stories to her, how they had died, when they had died.
She had done this. Babycorn had done this. Babycorn was the reason they were dead now.
“Stop! Please stop!!”
She had done this
She did this.
She-
“Hey! Leave her alone already!!”
A very familiar voice rang in Babycorn’s ears.
The next thing she knew, the silhouettes around her and even Monty had disappeared into thin air. The mysterious figures had been replaced with the presence of only one person, but Babycorn couldn’t tell who it was or if this was good or bad.
Babycorn rubbed at her eyes. The light all around them wasn’t doing much to help her see clearly. Even though it was hard to see, there was no way she would ever mistake that little heart shaped antennae for anyone else.
“B’ig Nunh…?”
‘B’ig Nunh’ looked confused to be addressed as such. He looked behind his back and to his sides to see if Babycorn was talking to someone else that wasn’t him.
Because that certainly wasn’t his name.
“Are you talking to me…?” He asked.
Before Babycorn could answer however, she was already at his side, giving him a hug around his legs. “Woah?! Hold on! Let go!!” ‘B’ig Nunh’ raised a leg and wiggled it around as Babycorn continued to hold onto it for dear life.
“B’ig I’m so glad you’re here!!” Babycorn finally let go of her good friend and plopped down onto the ground. “It's so scary in here! Oh! How did you get in here too?!” Surely if he figured out how to enter this weird place he knew the way back out.
“Why do you keep calling me that? That’s not my name!” ‘B’ig’ yelled down at her. He took a large step away from her to make sure that Babycorn would not try and jump on him again. It was already hard enough to shake her off the first time.
He was also a little taken aback, Babycorn was bouncing back so easily. Especially from the little he had seen of what was happening just a few seconds ago.
“Whaaaaaat?” Babycorn couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “What do you mean B’ig?! You look like B’ig. You talk like B’ig! And you move like B’ig! Of course you’re my good friend B’ig Nunh!”
Who else could it be??
“My name is Oroden!”
Hearing his name felt like Babycorn had taken a huge tumble, but she wasn’t exactly sure why.
“O-Oroden…?” Babycorn began to retreat into herself. She took a few cautious steps back and looked up a Oroden with a fearful look, which he noticed right away. As soon as Oroden raised a hand up to her to ask her to stop Babycorn quickly jumped back. 
This sort of reaction was pretty much what he had expected before.
“Do you hate me too…?” Babycorn whimpered.
Oroden let out a sigh, scratching the back of his head he wondered how he even got into this situation in the first place. None of the lessons in knightly orientation had ever prepared him for something like this. He decided to take a seat on the ground. Thinking that maybe this dwarf would see him as less of a threat if he was around her height.
He gestured to the ground next to him. “Here. You can sit here.” He watched as Babycorn looked down to the ground then back up to him. It was clear she was still a little scared. Oroden tilted his head and unbeknownst to him that caused the heart antenna on his head (only visible to Babycorn) to wiggle a little.
Babycorn let out a small laugh and stepped just a little towards him. Then a little bit more, until she finally decided to take a seat next to her familiar unfamiliar friend. 
She wiggled herself into a sitting position she liked and smiled. That smile faded into a frown pretty quickly after Babycorn remembered where she was.
“Um…” Babycorn tugged on both of her braids nervously, “Do you hate me too, Mr. Oroden…?”
Oroden looked out into the vast nothingness surrounding them and let out a hum. “Hmm…I would have to say that I still kind of hate you too.”
Babycorn wanted to cry.
“But!” Oroden paused, “I don’t hate you as much as they do.” He used his head to gesture behind him, hoping that Babycorn would figure out what he meant.
“Hmmm…”
Babycorn was confused. From what the others had told her, they had every reason to hate her guts. “Why not?” she asked, “You’re here cause I…I ate you with meol like the other guys, right?” Babycorn felt sick all over again.
Oroden nodded. “Yeah, you did.”
“Knew it.”
“But there’s something else.” His tail swished behind him, curling itself towards Babycorn. “For some reason I can’t find it in me to hate you that much. Almost as if I know you…?”
“You do know me B’ig-!”
“Oroden.” He corrected her again.
“Oh. Right! Sorry!”
It was so strange. Oroden had told her that he wasn’t B’ig, but then why did they look exactly the same? Maybe it had something to do with her? Babycorn wondered if she had somehow managed to make some stranger look completely different just because she wanted some company.
Suddenly, the image of B’ig flickered away for just a moment.
But a moment was all Babycorn needed to see what Oroden really looked like.
In B’ig’s place sat a tall au ra, with dark hair and dark horns. He was wearing a uniform of some sort. One that Babycorn would expect a knight from Ishgard would wear. His clothes looked torn too, just like Monty’s had been.
Oroden noticed Babycorn’s strange look and looked down at her. “Is there something wrong?” he asked.
“No! Nothing!” Babycorn answered earnestly, “I like your horns!”
“Oh, thanks?” Oroden reached up to touch his horns on instinct. Unfortunately for Babycorn it just looked like B’ig was parting some of his hair. If only she had caught more of that au ra guy, she might have thought of more things to compliment him about.
“Well…” Oroden suddenly stood up, extending a hand towards Babycorn. “You should probably wake up now. You don’t want to keep everyone worried.” He knew that Babycorn had spent too much time in here already. Any more time spent here and he probably wouldn't be able to stop the others from going after Babycorn again.
Babycorn was confused. As usual. “Wake up?” Was she dreaming or something?
“You tripped and knocked yourself out while running after Elidibus. Your brother must be worried sick out there.”
Just the mention of Cherrypit was enough to get Babycorn to wake up.
She couldn’t keep her brother worried! Though she was a little sad that she didn’t get to say goodbye to Oroden. He seemed like a nice guy…
With that thought in mind, Babycorn woke up with a jolt.
No…
No, it couldn’t be true, could it?
Had she…really killed her friend?
