the anomalous agate (epilogue)

for anyone who has no idea what this is about, go here for part one

for those who do, here's the ao3 link

there's a lot I want to say. the first, I guess, is that this isn't quite over—like I've mentioned many times before, I still have a bonus scene that's all hanzawa to tashiro. but this, here, is the end of the anomalous agate as it exists in seigi's pov, and as a case in the case files of jeweler richard.

out of curiosity, I found the longest case I could think of in the first two volumes of cfojr—case 2-3—and checked the word count. it totaled an approximate 21k, and with this epilogue, my case reaches the same total.

this is by far my favorite fic that I've ever written, so I could talk about it forever (I really might). but here, I won't say any more, and leave the epilogue under the cut:

case 2-x: the anomalous agate (epilogue)

Richard had always liked to read during his downtime. Rather than keep a stock of books in Jewelry Étranger, he liked to cart them back and forth from his home. Once, when I asked him if he’d ever considered purchasing e-books, we spent the next hour discussing the value of physical versus digital media. There were a lot of arguments for either side, but after analyzing the various pros and cons, Richard admitted that he just preferred the sensation of flipping pages and having the weight of a book in his hands. I tried to imagine Richard scrolling pensively through a tablet in his downtime, and the image was so jarring I almost apologized for asking about e-books in the first place.

Still, one of the cons we’d discussed about physical media was the fact that it took up way more space. Despite that fact, it felt like Richard always had a new book in his hands. I’d never seen his place, so I could only imagine that he lived in a palace with a sprawling library. Or, more realistically, a luxury apartment with a room the size of my apartment allocated for his books.

Most times, the things he read were texts about jewels that went entirely over my head, or books so thick that they were similarly impenetrable. Sometimes they were both. Today, though, Richard was flipping through the pages of a thin book with an illustrated cover. It was a deep blue color, and though Richard’s hand obscured some of the illustration, the blue of the sky was dotted with golden stars—almost like lapis lazuli.

This was enough to pique my interest, and I had downtime in spades, so I sidled up behind him.

From his relaxed position in one of the red armchairs, Richard glanced up at me. I must have successfully conveyed I’ll pace around the room unless you entertain me with my face, because the corners of his mouth quirked upwards.

It had to be an awkward angle, looking up to see me leaning against the back of his chair and unrepentantly staring, but Richard made every move with elegance. I watched the way his hair began to fall away from his face as he tilted his head, opening up his expression into something a little more unreserved.

“What book is that?” I asked.

“Le Petit Prince.”

Le Petit? Sheepish, I said, “My English isn’t that great yet…”

Richard raised an eyebrow. “It’s French,” he said, and though the words themselves weren’t laced with malice, I could read the obvious Surely, Seigi, by now you must have learned enough English to distinguish it from other languages in his expression. “The translated title would be The Little Prince. I was reminded of it recently, so I’ve been rereading portions.”

I peered down at the page Richard had open. Sure enough, though I recognized the letters, none of the words made any sense. “What’s it about?”

“Many things. But there was a particular scene…” He thumbed through the pages until I saw a simple illustration of a fox and a boy dressed in green. “The novel deals with a lot of things—it has a lot to say about the world, but one of my favorite moments in the travels of our titular character is when he meets the fox. The fox asks to be tamed by the little prince—here, he explains what it means.” Without hesitation, Richard translated the French before me into Japanese. “‘But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.’”

“…Tame?”

“It’s an interesting word, isn’t it?” Richard said. “The fox defines it first as ‘to establish ties,’ but it’s still a peculiar way of expressing friendship. More truthful, perhaps.” He smiled. “Either way, I was reminded of the complications of your troublesome client.”

There was only one person he could’ve been referring to—the one who’d bought blue lace agate earrings just the other day. I wondered if Richard had remembered the book because he’d seen the same bit of Tashiro’s green hoodie that I had, or because the cover had reminded him of lapis lazuli. But these musings took only a moment; I was stuck on the word tame.

It wasn’t something I’d ever heard used in the context of friendship, but the idea clicked with me. The word evoked a kind of dependency that I felt keenly. I glanced towards Richard. A tamed creature becomes unique, huh? If it was me… Richard couldn’t be anything but a prince.

“What’s on your mind?” Richard asked.

I’d only recently put my foot in my mouth by comparing us to a married couple, so I refrained from trying to make comparisons. Instead, I chose to bring up a different curiosity of mine. “I was just thinking about how quick Hanzawa’s last visit was. I wish I could’ve heard him explain his choice a little more…”

Richard set his book to the side. “The blue lace agate?”

“It wasn’t even something you’d mentioned, so…”

“I think that was Hanzawa-san’s way of showing initiative,” Richard said. “And it was a rather perfect stone for him. I was not needed for his choice in the slightest.”

“That’s not true,” I said. “I—there’s no way what you said was unimportant.”

Glossing past my words, Richard continued his speculation. “I’d mentioned, then, that agate is often dyed to enhance its visual appeal—judging by Hanzawa-san’s reaction to the word ‘truth,’ I’m inclined to think this is somewhat of a sore spot. But what it did tell me was that he was sincerely considering the jewel as a reflection of himself.”

“…You really know everything,” I said. I’d run into Hanzawa twice, but Richard’s understanding of him matched mine.

“Not everything,” Richard said. “Agate is not metamorphic like lapis lazuli, but its banding pattern demonstrates a subtler uniqueness and complexity. I would think that choosing a naturally colored type of agate, which carries these qualities inherently, was a matter of pride for Hanzawa-san.”

Pride was really the perfect word—I suddenly remembered Hanzawa’s words about needing strength to be anomalous. To be happy as you were… like Mami-san had expressed, it was certainly a hard thing to do.

“Maybe not everything,” I allowed, “but seriously, you’re spot on. I talked with Hanzawa a lot more than you did, but I didn’t make any of those connections.”

Richard straightened up in his armchair, obscuring his face from my view. With a sigh, he said, “In this case… I have something of an unfair advantage.”

“Unfair?” I asked, leaning to get a better look at his face.

“Hanzawa-san and I… I believe the expression is, ‘cut from the same cloth?’ That’s the way we are. It makes me feel ill-suited to speak to him, and I suspect the feeling is reciprocated.”

“I don’t think you’re alike at all, though,” I said, studying the mild discomfort on Richard’s face.

He looked back up at me, curious. “Why do you think so?”

I wracked my brain for an explanation. If anything, I felt it was Hanzawa and I who were similar, but I couldn’t say why. I could see glimpses of Richard in Hanzawa—something about the grace they made look effortless, but it wasn’t enough for me to truly compare them. Finally, my gaze strayed to the cover of The Little Prince, and I blurted out, “You’re a prince, and he’s a fox.”

As if to prove me wrong in an instant, Richard laughed, his lips curving into a foxlike smile. But even as he did so, he looked like a beautiful, otherworldly prince who could have traveled to many planets before the two of us could meet. “It isn’t that literal,” he said. “Fox or prince; they tame each other the same.”

Well, I thought, drinking in the visage of the beauty before me, I’m probably not smart enough to be a fox, anyways. “Maybe there’s something you haven’t noticed yet,” I said like the fool I was. “Tell me more about the book?”

After some hemming, hawing, and a promise of milk pudding from yours truly, Richard agreed. He opened the book at the beginning and translated the words before him in a smooth, beautiful tone.

My weight braced against the back of his chair, I closed my eyes, and let his words wash over me.

…If I was ever in Kyoto, maybe I’d get him some kitsune senbei.

-THE END-

✧ endzoned: the hollow feeling of having gotten exactly what you thought you wanted, only to learn that it didn't make you happy.

Year 398

He had pestered his mother for weeks.

It was not enough that he had merely been granted the title – crown prince, a title that settled ephemeral on his shoulders for a time, unreal and untouchable, with all the weight that had the diadem his mother had commissioned for him, settled it gently on his head and brushed a stray curl from his eyes. Was not enough that His Excellency's – his uncle's – courtiers and bannermen inclined their heads when they laid eyes on him, greeted him with the deference afforded his station.

But he saw the crease in their eyes, the indulgent little smiles as they swept into a bow at his presence, rising with what might as well have been a laugh.

Crown prince, but still a boy, still wet behind the ears.

What was deference without weight?

He had been granted access to the Emperor's Council.

He woke early, rose with the sun to ensure that his appearance was pristine – above reproach, bearing the Imperial colors and standard proudly on his breast, his diadem resting gently on his head as he brushed a curl from his eyes. He took a breath and made for the hall where he knew his uncle awaited.

He could hear the bannermen from the next hall over, their voices carrying not merely with their authority, but with the raucous laughter of men at play. As the steward announced his presence, his stomach dropped, filled with the chill of realization that he was not late – he had made sure of it – but they had been at it for what seemed to have been hours, half-empty and half-full tankards strewn about the table beside picked at plates from the men breaking their fast together.

"Ah, there's the lad!" One joked, and in spite of himself, his cheeks colored at the attention – his spine straight, he moved to the end of the table, the empty seat that had been preserved for him at his uncle's – His Excellency's – side.

"Hope we didn't wake you too early, your highness," another teased, leaning forward onto the table. His uncle's gaze slid to him, watchful of his reaction – he stiffened, dismissed it, he was no coddled babe that he couldn't rise when needed!

This seemed to amuse them, and a ripple coursed through the room, the charge of some unspoken joke interrupted when his uncle stood.

"Berkut."

He snapped to attention, and all eyes turned to him as his uncle spoke.

Rudolf tapped a finger on a scroll before him, and he craned his neck to see what his attention was being called to – ledgers, it seemed, the latest audit of the castle's larders, of tithes that outlying farms and ranches had been able to send. "Our harvests cannot continue in this way. You understand why."

Of course he did. Even a child knew that without food, people would die. He nodded, and waited – surely his uncle was not asking him to calculate rations, or food storage? The eyes on him grew heavier as smiles widened.

"We have requested aid from our neighbors to the south. Would you like to know what they've responded with?"

Another nod, somewhat breathless, in the way that one interrupting a private conversation might have been, as he took the scroll handed to him, his eyes flicking briefly over the words before his temper could not bear it any longer and he flung the scroll back onto the table, rising from his seat so abruptly the chair's legs screeched along the flagstones.

"We must not let them get away with this! King Lima – he – does he think this some joke?" He sputtered, the words coming from him in a rush, and all gazes around the table narrowed knowingly, all smiles sharpened to a knife-point.

"He didn't say, that I recall," Rudolf replied, retrieving the scroll, rolling it back up and nestling it alongside other ledgers and files before his seat. No tankards nor half-eaten meals littered the Emperor's place at the table. "So we must assume that his decision to decline was in earnest."

And then his uncle – His Excellency – turned that gaze upon him once more, and he knew he was being assessed, knew the question hanging in the air was one being proposed to him.

"We must not let him get away with it," he repeated, insistent, trying to keep the distress from his voice that might have been read as a whine – childish, no room for children in war, and that was what it must come to, mustn't it? He swallowed, biting back the spike of exhilaration, the spike of anxiety, as he continued; "If he will not give us what we need, then we must take it."

"You would declare war over this?" His uncle tapped his finger on the ledger once more.

There, the question explicit now, the intent clear: a test, of his heart, of his love for Rigel, of his ability to hold them above all others, to make the hard choices a man must.

He took a breath, raised his chin, attempted to lower his voice to match his uncle's in solemnity as he flicked his eyes over the collected bannermen: "I would. The people of Rigel deserve as much."

A beat.

A sigh.

Rudolf's eyes fluttered closed for a moment, so fleeting that he thought he had only imagined seeing his uncle so tired, before the Emperor nodded once, curt.

"So it must be. We will war with Zofia."

In that moment, simultaneously it felt as though he had provided an answer already considered and decided upon, and also one that was unanimously declared incorrect.

"You may go."

He fidgeted in his seat, briefly, eyes seeking the faces that surrounded him, brow furrowing to see that none of them so much as shifted in their seats – all of them still watched him, some with pity, others with disdain.

"Berkut. I said you may go."

I don't tend to post theories because I know they've probably been brought up before. But I feel bad about the lack of RWBY content on Tumblr since so much of the bees fandom has decided to discuss it on Twitter this season.

Yesterday, I paused the intro at the moment when the last illustration in Ruby's fall is Neo, and it transitions to Alyx.

Neo's journey in the Ever After might be very similar to the one Alyx went through.

This whole time, Neo has been obsessed with getting vengeance on Ruby for Roman's death, but really, it had nothing to do with her. He was randomly eaten by a Nevermore - one of the grimm that Salem/Cinder technically unleashed.

What if part of Neo's journey is to come to the realization that Salem was the enemy all along? That Cinder recruited Roman, and part of the blame should be on her? What team RWBY and their allies are fighting for is the one fight she should be focused on?

Then there's the cat. I think that they're the administrator of the Ever After. A friend said they thought they were the god of that world, but I disagree. They're like a sysadmin running cleanup scripts and making sure that if anything breaks, it's fixed as quickly as possible because people depend on that system's uptime.

Everything about the Curious Cat seems digital, from their color scheme to the way their transitions show artifacts (those blocky bits on the screen). Their design is very different from the rest of the world.

The cat has a line in episode 5 that really caught me:

When we break, or wear out, or simply finish what we were made to do, we're called back. But Herb, his heart was too weak to listen. So I gave him a little bit of mine.

It wasn't until I watched episode 5 that it clicked for me.

Remember when the gang met Herb in the last episode?

Herb didn't start peppering them with questions and getting frustrated until Ruby told him that they were trying to get to the tree.

Back in episode 4, Herb said:

We all have our titles. Our roles to play. But in order to help you become whatever it is you need to become, you should really have a better understanding of what you are now.

Herb did everything to help them figure out what they are so that he could then help them figure out what they need to be.

I think that the tree IS the Ever After. Whether it's where the transformation happens or the actual god of the world or something else, the tree is involved in transformation, or ascension, in the Ever After. The tree goes to them when it's time for someone to change. Kind of like death, but they're not dead. They're reset and cast into a new type or emptied of memories to be written over again.

Even the way the cat explains what happened to the King/Prince, they say that he remembered the betrayal in some way. Kind of like when you delete a file but it isn't really gone until that sector gets overwritten.

This whole season is about the need to change. It's a natural process. Weiss, Blake and Yang all had their transformation arcs. Ruby is too lost to see it, but she will change soon, too.

That brings me to my last thought: team RWBY have already been told what they must do to defeat Salem.

Remember what the cat said in the quote above?

You change their purpose. And if they can't hear you, you share a little bit of your heart with them.

I don't know how they will do it, but short of the gods coming back, realizing they made a grave mistake, and removing Salem from play, then I don't see how they can. So they have to find a different strategy.

Salem can't be killed; just like the people in the Ever After.

They need to Care Bear Stare that witch. Go all SPOP on them with the rainbow princess powers.

Gather the Maidens and have them share a little heart with Salem.

That's how they win. They need to change Salem's heart to a new purpose.

~ Character Info Sheet

name: Khan Noonien Singh (Ka'anh originally, but no one knows shh secret lore drop more of that further down)

name meaning: Name meaning on earth (human origins): Khan, which is more popular as a surname, is a Turkish boy's name meaning "prince". Khan is a shorter form of Khagan, and was originally a historic title given to military chiefs and rulers. Noonien is of Chinese origin and means "gifted one", though it's unclear whether this is accurate or not. Singh is derived from the Sanskrit word सिंह (IAST: siṃha) meaning "lion", and is used in the sense "hero" or "eminent person" Ka'anh (home planet name version): The one who steps; always forward, never backward.

alias/es: John Harrison, created by Admiral Marcus in case he ever needed to transfer Khan to another place. The faked file about him exists, but has never been used.

ethnicity: Confidential information

one picture you like best of your chara:

three h/cs you've never told anyone:

Khan's name is actually spelled differently in his native language: It's Ka'anh, but pronounced very similar to the human version 'Khan'. As he'd been risen away from his family and grown up within a facility turning selective bred offspring into future soldiers, he's never gotten to know his surname; All he remembers is someone once speaking out his full name when he was very young still - said memory stuck with him and, once he'd arrived on earth after being found / captured by Marcus, he'd heard the names 'Noonien Singh' while watching the daily news report (which he was allowed to consume on a regular basis, to 'sharpen his intellect and offer him knowledge about the world'). Noonien Singh sounded eerily similar to what his childhood memory is made of, so he chose them to become his second- and surname. At the same time, he decided to change the spelling of his first name as well - as a symbolism for cutting ties to a society he's never wanting to return to without giving up his origins completely.

Khan has a massive sweet tooth - he loves everything sweet, including (hard-)candies, chocolate or baked items like pastries. He also enjoys the taste of savory & sweet mixed together, but despises the taste of bitterness.

Despite his extremely regulated, limited and purposeful upbringing (and him needing to become what he was always meant to be), without many chances for children like him to ever live a fulfilling, explorative life, Khan did figure out in his late teens that he's very much not hetersexual.

three things your character likes doing in their free time:

Watching. He loves to watch what happens around him; He watches people, vehicles, nature, the sky, everything. He takes in the sight and saves whatever seems interesting to him inside his mind, gaining both joy and knowledge while doing so.

Listening to music. He realized that some music can, somehow, connect to his emotions, in a way - there's no real 'genre' he's the most fond of, a track just has to 'hit the spot' for him. Sometimes he gets goosebumps from the sensation of listening to it or experiences intense feelings, even though he's unsure why that is.

He's not really actively doing it yet, but he's very much interested in dancing - it combines his love for music with the need to be active, to move his body and get rid of excess energy. Dancing for him is made of logic, rhythm, but also of colorful sounds and variable movements.

eight people your character likes / loves: Khan doesn't have specific people he likes or loves; He also didn't have the time to find any on earth or somewhere else yet after having been captured by Marcus. He sometimes thinks fondly of his mother, even though he's never gotten to know her - but a part of him believes that he can, somehow, remember a few syllables spoken by her voice. It doesn't make much sense, because he'd been an infant when he'd been taken away from her... but still, the (possibly made-up) memory of her comforts him.

Other than that, people he loves or likes are thread / verse dependent (so far, he's feeling very close to @sxbaist, and seems to form a friendship with @noblehcart's Liesel though it's still in the beginning stages. All other threads with other muses are also at the beginning stage so far, but I am looking forward to relationships being formed in them!)

two things your character regrets:

He knows he's never really had a choice, yet he regrets that he's followed his kind's orders to try and become an elite soldier with so much enthusiasm and willpower that he burned himself down in the process; He cannot blame himself, as the whole of his species has been brainwashed for thousands of years and guided by the same power-hungry government, but he does, to a certain extend. His only purpose in life was to become said soldier, there simply was no other purpose existing for him - yet even with how much he struggled, he sadly only realized after failing the last test that he simply was not meant to ever become one of them. Perhaps it would have been better for him to give up and die, and therefore spare himself the experience of all the things that haunt him to this day.

Perhaps a part of him also regrets having fled from his own planet; He'd wanted to escape, but then he's got captured by Marcus, ultimately leading him into a prison cell to become a guinea pig. Oh, if he'd only let himself get killed as the consequence of failing to become his purpose - he wouldn't be where he is now, still trying to fight against what seems to be a curse he carries like a burden on his shoulders. Perhaps his enthusiasm and will to fight has been the curse all along.

two phobias your character has:

Athazagoraphobia: The fear of either being forgotten or forgetting someone / something. He doesn't want either to happen; He's always trying to memorize everyone and everything, as he thinks that knowledge is one of the only powers he holds besides of what his body is capable of. Besides that, he fears that all his effort has been for absolutely nothing if he ceases to exist and no one will ever remember his existence in the first place - which is likely to happen, and he knows that much, yet it makes him feel incredibly uneasy.

Thalassophobia: A persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water, such as the sea, oceans and lakes. His fear might consist of two parts: 1). The water itself, even though he's not necessarily afraid of its existence, but of the fact that it can suffocate him easily (memories of his past haunt him, with water having been used in his brutal training sessions to make him become better and successful in his tests), and 2). the depth of said bodies of water; Darkness surrounding him the further down he goes, no way for him to know what's around him or which dangers may lurk in the shadows, trying to eat him whole.

Tagged by: @sxbaist (thank you so much for enabling me ♥)

Tagging: @vulku @fasciinating @noblehcart (bones and Liesel), @darehearts @oceansfirst (whichever muse you feel!) @ensnchekov and YOU.

#alienheadcanons #(this was so so so much fun. And I decided to drop some lore I haven't talked about yet wooooo)#(Anyways I worked on this for roughly 3 hrs)#(started yesterday evening but then needed to sleep and here I am working on it since breakfast)#(but it was so worth it I feel so enabled and allowed to talk about him lol)

Early History

Sometime after he was born, Rafael was given up for adoption. His adoptive parents, the Waithes, raised him until their deaths on his 10th birthday. However, despite having relatives, no one waa willing to take him in and he was left to be taken in by social services. Throughout his adolescence, he bounced around from one foster home to the next, six to seven years, before finally being fostered by Hector and Maria Gonzales and gaining a brother, Landon Kirby. During that time, he eventually meets Cassie Wilson, who'd becomes his girlfriend.

Six weeks before his arrival at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, he accidentally killed Cassie. The two were driving and — during a heated argument over his assumption that she was flirting with another guy — Rafael lost control of the car, killing her instantly, and triggering his werewolf side. He still blames himself for her death as he was driving at the time. Her parents filed a case against him, claiming he murdered her but it fell through and he was cleared of charges. However, due to it, he lost his track scholarship. During this tumultuous time, Landon had been by his side and kept him grounded as he dealt with the emotions coming from this loss.

Personality

Rafael is a dangerously charismatic and newly-triggered werewolf. With a combination of a pure and loyal heart mixed with a lifetime of abuse and anger, Rafael wants to be a good person but lives in a constant struggle with the emotional demons that have plagued him through a difficult childhood.

Powers and Abilities

As a human, Rafael had all standard human abilities. Most notably is that Rafael was a track star at his school in Atlanta, good enough that he received a scholarship to UVA.

After triggering his curse, Rafael possesses all the standard powers and abilities of a non-Evolved werewolf. He has shown to be a capable fighter despite the newness of his triggering, as he was able to challenge and defeat Jed for the title of alpha and hold his own against Harmony in a sparring match. Given his experience as a track runner, he's skills in agility and speed has vastly increased, given he scaled the side of a building multiple times in under 20 seconds and less.

Physical Appearance

He is a young man with tall stature and an athletic build. He wears dark or light-colored clothing while not wearing the standard boarding school attire. He has dark brown eyes and short, slightly curled black hair.

In his wolf form, Rafael possesses black fur and has the typical glowing yellow eyes that come with lycanthropy.

Name

• Rafael is a name of Hebrew origin meaning "God is Healer" or "God has Healed".

• Waithe is an English habitational name from a place named with Old Norse vað 'ford'.

Trivia

• Despite claiming to believe he just knows he was born in October, Rafael's aware he was born on October 31st - Halloween.

• Rafael and Landon share an abusive foster father, Kurt, who would whip him with his belt.

• Rafael's adoptive parents died on his 10th birthday.

• Rafael doesn't lie.

• Rafael was a track runner at his old school and received a scholarship to UVA.

• He later lost his scholarship over accusations from Cassie's parents that he killed her, despite being cleared of the charge.

• Rafael knows automatics, fishing, hunting, and scavenging.

Murray/OC transmasc character because. I don't have an excuse lmaooo, i haven't written Reader-adjacent/OC kinda fics in a bit for any fandom, but I've just got a Need To Write Anything rn and this idea won't leave me so

Here we be.

NSFW as well because i wasn't gonna finally take this idea on and not have Murray get some lol.

---

"So, do you think you could manage them too?"

Murray looks to the man sitting on an overturned empty metal rubbish bin by Bret.

Pretty, especially the eyes. Almost grey, but a hint of a pale blue in there as well. Thick dark hair pulled back in a high ponytail that had been braided. He wondered if there was anyone that braided that for them, or if they did it themselves-

"Murray," Jemaine snaps his fingers in front of his face. "Yes or no? Because if it's a no, then Lux needs to get back to ours and get back to work."

Murray frowns. "What? You said Lux is a musician. That makes it sound like they're your house cleaner! No offense meant if that is the case, of course."

"We don't need a house cleaner," Bret says.

"We also don't have a house," Jemaine notes.

"An apartment could still have a house cleaner come by," Lux adds.

"Oh, yeah," Bret nods. "Would you wanna do that for us?"

"Are you paying me?"

Jemaine and Bret look away.

Lux hesitates. "Could I come use your bathroom while I'm busking if I offer to help clean?"

"Yeah, why not?" Jemaine replies. "We aren't that bad though."

Bret gives Murray a knowing look. It could be cleaner. They all know that.

"That matter is settled then," Murray declares. "Just going to add that to the band meeting agenda quickly...there we are!"

"I don't need much help," Lux says. "Someone to help me arrange gigs, mostly. I have a habit of losing or forgetting details about them, or I get busy and don't call back to confirm I'll be there and...yeah."

Lux rubs the back of their neck awkwardly. It's fucking adorable.

Internally, Murray scolds himself. Things have only been properly done with Shelley for a year, and he's not the type for a rebound. He ought to give it another six months to a year at least.

"I can do that," Murray says. "Let's get you a file."

He pulls a manila folder from his desk and an extra legal pad. "Okay. Name?"

"Lux," Lux replies.

"Lux what?"

"Just that," Jemaine says. "Like Prince."

"Or Cher," Bret adds. "Oh, or Kermit!"

"...The Frog?" Murray hesitates. "But he does have a last name: The Frog."

"No," Bret scoffs. "That's like a title. We don't call Lux 'Lux The Human.'"

"We can discuss that in more detail later," Murray sighs. Truthfully, he really just wants to hear Lux talk. Their voice pitches a certain deep note now and again, and it makes his heart pound.

"I play the theremin," Lux says. "But I have some knowledge of wind instruments and strings as well, if you think that would be good to add on."

"But you're only a one person act," Jemaine frowns. "How-"

"Viol strapped to a table by your theremin," Bret suggests. "One hand can use the bow, the other the theremin? I mean it won't sound great-"

"That would sound terrible," Murray wrinkles his nose. "Let's stick with the theremin alone for now."

Lux smiles.

Oh, that's dangerous. He wants to make them smile again.

"Any gimmicks or themes you stick to?" he asks.

Lux ponders it. "Grungy goth? Like, I'm dressed like this-"

Lux stands to show off tight black skinny jeans with a decently large hole ripped in one thigh. It shows off the edge of a tattoo, with no way to tell how big the full piece is.

Over that is a long-sleeved black tunic, and over that a grey knit cardigan.

On their feet, a pair of black leather platforms, and a final pop of color on their ears in the form of red broken heart earrings.

"I see," Murray tries to say it normally, but he can feel Bret's eyes on him.

"Now, part of it is I can't afford new shit right now, but it works," Lux continues. "And the goth bit too is like, all my music is creepy funerary."

"How does busking go with that genre?" Murray asks.

"About as well as you'd expect," Lux giggles. "That's why I need you."

He's got to be imagining the look Lux gives him. They hold his gaze for an extra moment; their hand flies to cover what looks like another smile.

He can't concentrate. Who could?

"So-"

"Guys, maybe you and Murray should finish up your band meeting, and then Murray and I can have our own after?" Lux suggests. "You can still give him all the ideas you have for me, and that way we can discuss them without taking time away from Flight of the Conchords stuff."

"Alright," Jemaine nods. "Where are you-"

"Murray, did you eat lunch?" Lux interrupts.

"Had planned to, but a dog stole my lunch bag again," Murray replies. "He dropped it, but he looked so hungry and he'd already had it in his mouth, so when he grabbed it again..."

"Oh Murray," Bret frowns.

"Like a paper lunch bag or an insulated one?" Jemaine asks.

"Insulated, but I can buy a new one," Murray waves away the question.

"That's lovely," Lux says. "I bet you made that dog's day."

He can feel himself blushing, and Jemaine and Bret staring him down again.

"Well, I didn't have lunch either," Lux continues. "So write down what you want on a sticky note there, and I'll go out and get it. By the time I'm back, it'll probably be time for our meeting."

He jots down a generic fast food order, not really all that concerned with eating for now.

As he hands it to Lux, there's the brush of fingertips. He wonders how lovely Lux's hands look at work with the theremin.

The thought makes him entirely too warm for a band meeting.

"I'll see you in a bit," Lux smiles and leaves with a wave, sticky note in hand.

"Murray," Bret says as the office door closes. "I know what you're thinking."

"That you guys should get some emergency fund money to go buy yourselves each a new cup?"

"No," Bret replies. "Wait, but can we actually? We broke both our cups last week."

"Been using our one bowl and straws for tea," Jemaine adds. "It really burns."

"Not great for the singing voice," Bret says. "Like the opposite of what tea should do for it."

Murray frowns. "That's no good. Here."

He pulls a fifty dollar bill from the envelope of money in his desk drawer. It holds what little savings he has left.

"Go on, and go buy some new cups. A new bowl too!"

"Are you sure?" Jemaine asks as he takes the bill. "Are we done with the band meeting already? Because we didn't really discuss anything about us yet."

"Or about how you definitely want to get with Lux," Bret says.

"Yeah, that too," Jemaine nods.

"Look, I'm not going to be improper," Murray sighs. "I just want to see if there's a connec-"

"No, we know," Bret interrupts. "Earlier, I was trying to say I'm sure you thought Lux was coming on too strongly. We did tell them to be chill-"

"More than once," Jemaine interjects.

"But...I don't know," Bret chuckles. "The more we told them about you, the more dreamy-eyed they got."

"Like how Bret looks at pictures of David Bowie," Jemaine explains.

"Like how we all look at pictures of David Bowie," Bret scoffs. "Don't deny it."

"He's right," Murray nods. "So... they're into me? Like for real?"

Jemaine and Bret nod.

"I think we should go buy some cups," Bret smiles. "And let Murray prepare for Lux's onboarding band meeting."

They leave discussing what kinds of cups they want, and if they might even have enough for some plates, and normally Murray would feel sad at their leaving.

But today, he's happy to watch them go.

"Here we are," Lux sets the bag of fast food on his desk. "How did it go with the boys?"

"Fine," Murray replies. "Went over the usual things. You know."

"Like what?"

Neither of them have made a move for the food, and he has a feeling it might be cold by the time they get to it.

He's very much alright with that.

"What sort of gigs they want," Murray says. "If they have new merch ideas."

"Ooh, speaking of," Lux says. "I had kind of a weird idea for merch for me."

"Oh?"

"So, when I'm bored I sit and redesign the logo I made for myself. Still the same general idea, but different colours, patterns," Lux continues. "It's a simple one, but I thought maybe patches or stickers, or, if we partner with a tattoo shop, I could sell them as tattoo designs."

Before he can speak, Lux stands from Jemaine's chair.

"I can show you the logo, if you want."

Murray nods. "Let's see it."

Lux blushes and lifts their shirt to show off a simple, yet flashy design of their name in black and red.

The tattoo sits just at the bottom of Lux's ribcage, and while there's nothing inherently sexual about the location, the flash of skin is about to do him in.

"Like what you see?"

Murray nods, then shakes his head. "Wait, no, I do like the design and the ideas! I didn't want..it came off like-"

"I know," Lux interrupts softly. "And I was asking both ways."

He hasn't felt like this since his first years with Shelley, and only now does he realize how much he's missed it.

"I know with any big record company or music agency this would be something frowned upon," Lux says. "But you already manage a band and have your consulate job. So I trust you with that mix of priorities."

Murray nods. "Um. Does that mean. Well, it must mean, no, must is presumptuous-"

"I'm waiting for you to kiss me," Lux says, and steps behind his desk.

He's certain he's going to fumble some part of this. And if it ends things right here, then so be it. He's not going to let that hold him back.

He stands and pulls Lux into a kiss. His hands toy with the edge of their tunic, but he goes no further until Lux nods and tosses the tunic off and aside.

"You're still serious about this, right?" Murray asks.

"I am," Lux replies, and leans up to kiss his neck.

"Such a mean manager," they joke in between kisses. "Making me wait so long."

"For what?" Murray asks, just before the lightbulb goes off. "Oh! Oh, well, I don't want to be too mean-"

Lux's hand rests on his belt buckle, a nonverbal question.

"Yes, please," Murray says, trying to sound like he isn't begging. But he can admit he is, a little bit. So much for not being desperate for a rebound.

The rest of their clothes come off in short order, dropped to the floor around his desk.

Lux sits on his desk. "I hope you know I'm not just trying to get in your pants for my music. And Bret told me to think realistically but..."

They hesitate. "If you'd maybe want to see if this could be more than a one night thing... I'd like that. If you would too, and if not that's perfectly fine of course-"

"I'd like that," Murray interrupts as gently as he can. "Maybe after this, we could take the food back to mine and heat it up? Have a movie night together."

Lux beams and nods, and he feels like he just won a fucking Grammy.

"Oh," Lux says as he drops to his knees in front of their spread legs. "You don't have to if you don't want to. Not everyone-"

"What, wants to go down on you?" Murray asks. "Why wouldn't they?"

Lux shrugs. "I've only been with a few guys that were into it with me."

"Well, their loss," Murray says, and wraps his arms around Lux's thighs to keep them in place.

He focuses solely on doing everything he can to make their legs shake. Sucking and licking at their cock, tongue lapping at their folds, and his nose pressing against their skin.

He knows the office is empty by now. Bret and Jemaine had asked to come in later, and honestly that worked better. For band meetings, but especially for this.

"Sorry," Lux murmurs after a loud whine. "I'll cover my mouth."

"Don't you dare," Murray says, surprised at himself. He likes it though. "I want to hear you."

Lux is still fairly quiet, but the panting and gentle moans he earns are perfect.

"Might want to pull away when I-" Lux pauses to grind down against Murray's face. "Yeah, you know. Fuck me."

"I'm getting there," Murray lifts his head and peppers kisses over the inside of Lux's thighs. "Come for me this way first."

"Why on earth did your wife leave you?" Lux asks.

"Because sex isn't everything, and I make poor financial decisions," Murray sighs. "Per my ex, that is. She's not wrong."

"Well, that's not a deal-breaker for me," Lux says. "Who doesn't make a poor financial choice now and then?"

Murray presses a longer kiss to Lux's right thigh, then kisses his way back to where he's most wanted.

It takes a moment more, then Lux's thighs clench hard around him.

He laughs when he's free from their grasp. "I understand what you meant about moving now. Didn't mind that at all though."

"Mhm," Lux mumbles blissfully.

"If you do want a break, or to st-"

"Murray," Lux says, eyes fluttering back open. "If you make me wait all that will happen is I'll end up wanting to fuck you in your car."

"You really want me that badly?" Murray asks as he stands. Everything thus far has shown it, but it's unfamiliar enough for him to worry he ought not take it for granted.

Lux nods. "Please."

"Um. I don't know how to ask this delicately," Murray hesitates. "I'm clean and snipped, but I think Jemaine left condoms here because he didn't want Bret stealing them for himself."

"Has he ever come back for them?"

"Ah, no," Murray shakes his head. "I think he forgot about them, but they're not expired and-"

"I'm on birth control, and I'm clean," Lux interrupts, pulling him close, legs wrapped around his waist.

That's more than enough impetus to slip himself inside of them.

His office door creaks open, and they both crick their necks to see what the fuck is happening.

"Murray, we got the cups, but could we steal some tea from the offi-" Bret looks up from the new cup in his hand. "Oh."

"Hi" Lux says. "You guys need tea?"

Bret nods. "I should have kno-"

"Did he say we could take the teabags or not," Jemaine interrupts, pushing past Bret into the office. "Oh."

"Oh my god," Murray drops his face into Lux's shoulder. "Yes. Just take them and go."

"You guys should have locked the door," Jemaine says. "I would, if I had an office to fuck in."

"Yeah, but I could have knocked," Bret adds. "Even if they weren't fucking, they would have been in the middle of a band meeting."

"Ah yeah, sorry," Jemaine winces. "We'll just collect the tea and g-"

"Please leave," Murray says desperately.

They trip over each other as they go, thankfully shutting the door behind them.

"I understand if you want to just go," Murray says as he lets himself slip out of Lux and step back. "I'm so sorry."

Lux sits up. "Why would I do that?"

"Mood's ruined a bit, I think."

"So what?" Lux shrugs. "Let's get dressed, take the food back to yours, and continue there."

He blinks. "Seriously?"

Lux nods and hops off the desk. "We were going to do that anyway, and we can get up to more in a bed than on a desk anyway."

Murray can't hold back a grin. "Okay! Yeah, let's... alright!"

"You're cute," Lux giggles, and brings him his shirt with a kiss.

They finish up and grab the food, locking Murray's office door and the main consulate door after them.

Lux holds his hand on the way out, and he decides he'll happily manage them for sure.

And if they want some dates arranged with him in between gigs, well, he'll happily do that too.

"I think they left," Jemaine peeks out from the dark break room/kitchen. "Shit."

Bret peers out beside him. "Oh. Well, if we leave we can't lock it."

"No, we can't."

They stare at the door together for a moment, as if Murray and Lux might burst back in.

"Should we eat those leftover donuts and sleep under the table until tomorrow?" Bret asks. "Don't want Murray to get in trouble if the door is unlocked."

"You just want the donuts."

"It can be both!"

Jemaine nods. "Might as well steal the rest of the tea too."

"Might as well."

Retro Revival: Embrace the Nostalgia with Unique 80s and 90s T-Shirts | vipwees

Do you find yourself reminiscing about the good old days when neon colors, cassette tapes, and scrunchies were all the rage? Well, it's time to dive into a time machine and rediscover the magic of the 80s and 90s with unique retro t-shirts.

The Nostalgic Appeal of the 80s and 90s

The 80s and 90s were remarkable decades, each leaving its indelible mark on pop culture. From iconic fashion trends to memorable movies, music, and television shows, these years exude a unique charm that continues to captivate generations. Here's why these decades hold a special place in our hearts:

Fashion Evolution: The 80s brought us bold fashion statements with oversized blazers, leg warmers, and neon everything. The 90s, on the other hand, introduced grunge with flannel shirts and baggy jeans. Both decades had distinct styles that continue to influence fashion today.

Classic Movies and TV Shows: The 80s gave us beloved classics like "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "The Breakfast Club," and "Back to the Future." The 90s brought us iconic TV shows like "Friends," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and "The X-Files."

Memorable Music: The 80s were synonymous with iconic bands like Queen, Michael Jackson, and Madonna. The 90s delivered the rise of hip-hop, grunge, and boy bands, making it a diverse musical era.

Video Game Revolution: The 80s and 90s were pivotal in the evolution of video games. Gamers from those decades cherish titles like "Pac-Man," "Super Mario," "Sonic the Hedgehog," and "The Legend of Zelda."

Unique 80s and 90s T-Shirts: Where to Find Them

If you're eager to relive the magic of the 80s and 90s through fashion, there are plenty of options to consider. Here's where you can find unique retro t-shirts that pay homage to these iconic decades:

Vintage Clothing Stores: Explore local vintage shops or online stores specializing in retro fashion. You'll discover a treasure trove of authentic 80s and 90s t-shirts with unique designs.

Online Marketplaces: Websites like Etsy and eBay often feature sellers offering vintage or vintage-inspired t-shirts. You can find a wide range of designs that capture the essence of these decades.

Custom T-Shirt Printing: Consider creating your own custom 80s or 90s t-shirt. You can choose your favorite quotes, characters, or references from the era and have them printed on a shirt of your choice.

Niche Retailers: Some specialty retailers focus exclusively on retro and nostalgia-themed clothing. They curate unique designs that cater to fans of the 80s and 90s.

3. What ideas come from when you were little

Oh, this is SUCH a good question! Big sashes around the waist for fantasy-setting characters (directly inspired by LOZ: Twilight Princess), magic changing appearance, big eyebrows, and other things I can't think of right now.

If you mean story ideas: In Interim was a story I began right before high school as a Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles rip off. There's this story that's been through many titles that hasn't found its footing yet: Stolen Heart > Glass Prince > Cerulean Rose. Still don't know what it is. I've always wanted to write a dragon rider story inspired by the pterodactyl flying academy in the Dinotopia mini series.

9. What are your file name conventions

I title it after the subject. I keep yearly folders with my art, and within those are folders relating to subjects. I mainly work on procreate now which doesn't have a good folder system, but here's a peek into my art folder.

12. Easiest part of body to draw

Heads. In high school I mostly drew busts/waists up, so anything waist down is hard. I'm so bad at drawing legs and feet. I also love drawing hands and it's fun when they look funky.

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

THIS ONE I worked so god damn hard on it and drew a whole horse that looks good. I used colors I don't normally do, tried something new with rendering, and did a background with reference. It slaps. I'm going to rb it after I post this.
