#why aren't there more shark items

[convexheadcanons]

Smaller headcanon here!

Vex teeth fall out and can regrow like sharks! Scar’s are more jagged and fall out more often than Cub’s sue to general clumsiness and his habit of chewing on weird stuff. :P

They’re hard enough to crack diamond and can be ground down to use as a rare alchemy and weapon reinforcement material. Vex tooth jewellery is also a valued item, often hand-crafted for loved ones by the owner of the tooth, or sold as luxury goods.

- Tyx

This is such a cool response and totally awesome and on time/lh BUT SERIOUSLY EXAM PERIODS ARE OVER, SO WE CAN GET ROUND TO THESE :D

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Vexes teeth aren't rare as per say but they are very helpful in a multitude of senses ; many PVP/PVE players have weapons made of vex teeth, easier for cutting through skin and parrying off other blades - plus how cool would it be to brag about a sword made of one of the little buggers ! It's bragging right material itself, deadly and sharp just like its owners. Sometimes it's ground down, if prepared and extracted right - it can create quite a delicious paste ; reminiscent vex magic still curling in the teeth that have varied properties depending on the vex, for cooks they are highly renowned in dishes but of course they pay more for the fact of where they came from. Or, most common, they are used as potion ingredients - just like when they are used to cook - they have special properties and depending on the vex different flavours!

But on Hermitcraft, well they don't need to worry about it! It's all covered for them because they have their own vexes to give them teeth so they'll never run out because thankfully they regrow. (Both of them constantly reminisce the first time that their teeth fell out in front of the hermits, their panic was absolutely perfect) And actually they have helped a lot around the server, and not just the fact that he doesn't get into as much shenanigans as Scar does, but Cub just loves perfecting his teeth, often taking a nail file and filing his teeth down to size - much to the horror of everyone else but Scar who constantly teases him, so sure him for not wanting ragged teeth so flesh get stuck! It's not clean at all!

Owning a large tooth is very rare but can come as very useful for a number of different things - they hum when near pools of vex magic so can tell where vexes are going to come from which is useful for people going to pillage a mansion (unfortunately those sold for luxury goods are often forced out of a vexes mouth therefore don't have that property, and even in this form vex magic is a dangerous thing - there are universal roles of the selling of magical items), they are generally a scare factor for anyone in other servers and already sets a warning ; and for the vexes that give them they are like, possession materials - some vex already owns this persona and all the others have to move along!! Which is why every single hermit has one incorporated in some part of their outfit, weapon or body!

I also love to think of the fact that when they have loose teeth they're like children teething - they need something cool and squishy in their mouth (this is NOT limited to flesh) and just have the insistent urge to bite everything - this isn't much different to how Scar usually acts but there is a bit of grumpiness to loosing teeth...

I'll tell uncle Rocco to call off the guy with the crowbar.

'You make a grave mistake by borrowing money from a patron at a local 'club'.'

You didn't think it would end this way.

Going to a strip club downtown with a friend only to end up on the owners floor.

The inhuman older man stares down at you. A terrifying and predatory gaze.

"Tell me, Cara Mia.."

He takes a long drag off of his cigar, puffing with near violence. 

"What did you think was going to happen to you with such a request here?"

"I-I didn't.. That wasn't what I was trying to do!"

It's true.

You only asked one of the patrons for an extra twenty dollars.

A simple request you didn't think would go wrong. 

The patron being one of Gorehounds' regulars. Someone rich, important.

An older fox gentleman that you know by 'Mr. Hana'.

He was overly friendly and basically tipped you more than you asked for. You thanked him without thinking about the consequences. 

You've basically sold yourself off to the most powerful man in the country. 

Rocco stares down at you with a cigar between his fangs. 

"I own you now, Cara Mia."

He stands up, figure tall and imposing. Suit a dark burgundy, a fresh dyed black rose clipped next to a wolf shaped pin on his pocket.

His tail is nearly poofed from anger, ears down, mouth in a snarl.

He walks over to you, kneeling ever so formally.

"And that's why.. you be careful as of who you make acquaintances."

Another puff off his cigar, he blows the smoke in your face, causing you to choke.

It seems to please him.

In fact everything about you in this situation does.

Not only are you covered in blood, a scent that makes his hormones run wild, but you're chained down to a hook on the floor. 

With a heavy metal collar that rests uncomfortably against your bruised and clawed collarbone and neck.

You don't dare speak again with him in your face like this.

His mouth is a maw ready to snap at any moment.

He twists his cigar in between his fingers as his other hand grips your arm roughly.

A whimper leaves your mouth, sharpened claws digging into the gentle flesh.

"Property. One I can use as I wish, and do as I will."

His hand holding the cigar inches closer to your arm.

He presses it to your skin within an instant, a shrill cry leaving your lips.

Through tearing eyes, you see his pupils dilate, stoic frowning mouth curling into a small smirk.

He grinds the cigar into your skin, watching how your flesh turns an angry red.

Ears twitching from the loud crying and faint sizzling.

Just as fast as it was placed, the cigar is retracted.

Leaving your arm shaking at your side when he drops it.

"Trembling like a cornered bunny.. That's what you look like, Cara Mia."

He stands to tower over you again, eyes scanning your body,

You know how pathetic you look right now.

How weak and vulnerable.

Naked and shaking.

He walks slowly across the room, reaching behind his desk for something.

Your eyes widen when the item he grabs comes into view.

A metal cane, one with a wolf head for a handle.

"N-No!"

You back up, scrambling and shaking your head.

The chain jerks you forward, choking you.

You aren't getting out of here.

Alive.

Or at all.

He makes his way back to you, holding the cane.

"You know what old mobsters used to do, Darling?"

"P-please, d-don't hurt me I'll-"

His eyebrows raise.

"You'll do anything, right?"

You nod quickly, crying softly.

"Y-yes! Yes anything!"

Rocco hums to himself, tapping his foot as his tail swishes.

"I know."

The tone of his voice is dreadful, frightful.

It scares you shitless. 

He isn't going to be persuaded.

Ever. 

He readies the cane, swinging it down directly on your knee.

"Agh!!"

Old mobster movies with loan sharks had the term 'bust your kneecaps' 

They were movies your dad used to watch with you on occasion. 

Who knew it'd be an ironic phrase.

His tail is wagging, not swishing. He's extremely excited.

Swinging the cane down again until a audible crunch rings out with your scream.

"Oh, how delightful."

He's praising you. Smiling down with teeth bared, dripping with slobber.

You attempt to move your other leg, but he's quicker.

The cane comes down harder this time, the blow most likely shattering your entire leg.

Luckily the room is soundproof, so only your owner can hear the cries and screams you've let out. 

"Stop!"

It's clear as day, you know he heard your plea with the way his ears twitch.

He gives a sympathetic look, reeling his arms back.

"Remember, you said 'anything', Amore Mio."

Another blow across both of your legs and you topple over.

Laying upon the velvet carpet in a pool of your own tears.

Rocco stands there, watching you with a faux pity.

"If you can't even handle this.. How well will you serve me, Cara Mia?"

His foot is placed upon your side, kicking you so you roll over onto your back.

He watches how you tremble, listens to how you cry pathetically below him.

"You'll need training."

Your heart nearly stops at that statement.

"Lots of it."

WHY IS FANTASY FOOTBALL LEGAL BUT SPORTS GAMBLING IS NOT?

If you've got got became at the TV in any respect at some point of the primary few weeks of the contemporary 2015 NFL season, you don't have any doubt been bombarded with classified ads for fable sports activities having a bet. These classified ads permit sports activities enthusiasts to pay small fees, create digital lineups of gamers, after which doubtlessly win massive prizes if the selected gamers carry out statistically well.

These advert campaigns are predominantly tied to one in all companies: FanDuel or DraftKings. Together, the 2 companies (worth over $1 billion each), spent over $27 million for 8000+ TV spots by myself at some point of the primary week of the NFL season.

Why this sort of big spending outlay?

Because every day fable leagues have exploded withinside the US over the past 12 months and are actually predicted to be performed through fifty seven million Americans. From football mothers to university college students to the Average Joe, every day fable leagues have supplied an publicity to sports activities having a bet that maximum could by no means in any other case experience.

FanDuel and DraftKings presently offer the above publicity in forty five states. The best states wherein they don’t offer their services (because of state-particular policies towards coins prize awards) consist of Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana and Washington.

And therein lies the query of this post: if sports activities having a bet is unlawful in all states besides Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey, how are websites like FanDuel and DraftKings capable of function so overtly and in such a lot of states?

The solution lies withinside the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act handed through Congress. The law, which arose as a reaction to on-line playing PartyPoker, Poker Stars and others, close down on-line wagering withinside the United States. However, it additionally left an exemption which protected fable sports activities video games, and video games of an academic or ability-primarily based totally nature 먹튀검증. That exemption states the following:

“…has an final results that displays the relative know-how of the participants, or their ability at bodily response or bodily manipulation (however now no longer threat), and, withinside the case of a fable or simulation sports activities recreation, has an final results this is decided predominantly through accrued statistical outcomes of carrying events, consisting of any non-participant’s person performances in such carrying events …”

In different words, every day fable sports activities video games (and season fable leagues for that matter) are taken into consideration a “recreation of ability” and decided now no longer through threat however through adherence to statistical evaluation.

In the case of fable soccer, that sort of evaluation can also additionally contain studies on injuries, low season education regiments, matchup histories, and beyond overall performance metrics. All of these items require “some” degree of ability to ensure you select the RIGHT mixture of gamers to your very own digital team.

Bottom line: so long as your fable sports activities contest entails an final results this is generated through the records of more than one athletes, of which all aren't at the equal team, and all of which might be collaborating in real-global carrying contests, then that contest is legal.

However, a phrase of warning earlier than you run out and sign-up yourself: maximum humans DO NOT WIN every day fable contests.

Just as in poker, sites like FanDuel and DraftKings have to have plenty of fish gambling to pay the sharks. And to be a fable sports activities shark, count on to play loads of video games every week and spend hours an afternoon crunching numbers for predictive fashions that during flip spit out premiere lineups. And honestly, who has the time for that after you are attempting to look at soccer on Sundays?

Disney Villains x Reader || Drabbles

Plots / Includes:

♤ Cruella DeVille x Fem!Model!Reader- The designer wants to dress you up personally, Y/N. Be a professional- don’t get embarrassed. 

♡ Lady Tremaine x (MostCertainlyOfAge)StepDaughter!Reader- The relationship is twisted but she wouldn't let you stop even if you wanted to, which luckily... you don’t.

◇ Human!Toon Patrol x Hostage!Reader- When your abductors (Who have had you for, like, a year at this point) protect you from a potential attacker, is it love you feel or Stockholm Syndrome?

Warnings: Some more really dark Disney drabbles. Lets see, this time round there is smuttiness (Drabble 1. Only hints in the others), fingering, dubious consent at best, non-con just to be safe though, manipulation through ambition, age gap (Basically throughout except the Toon Patrol one I think), step-scest? (Whatever its called when you have sexual and/or romantic relations with your step mother), abduction, totally unofficial imprisonment (Being held captive against your will), Stockholm syndrome, some more manipulation, etc

Cruella DeVille:

Innocence died screaming. 

Honey, ask me; I should know. - Hozier, From Eden

You’re like 21 in this. 

“Ah,” You whine, scoring through the messed-up-pleasured-fog that your brain’s being gassed with right now for how the hell you got here- bent over a stylish leather chair in your bosses office, butt naked, with her fingers buried so deeply inside your cunt that you think if she were to dig anymore, then you would spill uncontrollably all over the fur rug beneath you. 

Well- you know how it happened. Truly, you remember just fine. Its more an issue with your judgement that’s wigging you out. You know you should be too scared, that you should have left the moment she looked at you the way she shouldn’t look at you, as a designer fitting a model for an outfit... But you didn’t. You didn’t and now you’re whining for an orgasm and no one will - would? - ever believe that you didn’t really want this… you didn't want... “Ahhhhh,” Your thighs grip around her wrist and you rub them together, trying to get more movement inside you. More friction. Please.

This is so wrong, you think, tears - because, by all logical accounts, you really , t r u l y, do not want this! - filling up your eyes and slipping down your face. 

But there’s also how wet you are, and curiosity about why you feel this way, a fucked up lust for a scenario you absolutely shouldn't want at all, and the fucking primitive, rut-like state that your mind’s in where you just wanna cum. 

You don’t dare say her name. You just moan. 

~

“Are we ready in here? Oh- darling! You’ve been undressing yourself for 15 years at least. How can you be so slow?” 

“Uhh... “ You look around, awkwardly. You are undressed? There are nuns in this city who would be shocked at you standing in the middle of designing shark Cruella DeVille’s stylish, cold, high rise office wearing nothing but your nice black underwear set- you are most certainly ready to be fitted for the new outfit you’re going to be modelling for. What does she mean? “All due respect, Miss DeVille, but I am undressed?” 

“That’s funny, because I see two very pretty, albeit unnecessary, final items strapped to your skin that shouldn’t be. Hurry up, love, the daylight is burning.” She waives a hand, ushering you to get... rid... of... your underwear?? Immediately your face inflames and you open your mouth to argue, or maybe ask why - you’ve attended plenty a fitting before in your, yes, short modelling career. But all the same! None of them have required you to get any more exposed, then this! - but nothing comes out. The words get stuck and die, in your throat before they even get a chance to form totally in your brain. 

You may still be new to the world of modelling but you do know this, and its important: Designers hate prudes. You’re useless to them if you’re shy, or in anyway hesitant. This world is fast paced and full on, and if you aren't ready to jump in head first then you lose your shot. 

And this is Cruella DeVille. 

Cruella. DeVille. 

C r u e l l a  D e V i l l e.

She’s such a bigwig in the industry, everyone knows her name, and she looked at your resume, your credits and your pictures, and decided that she liked you. Decided that you were the girl to represent her new outfits- on magazines, and TV commercials, and billboards! This is a huge deal for you, and like hell will let her down by failing at the bare minimum that a model has to do. 

Before you even get a chance to relax, do your breathing exercises, Her Impatient-ness looks up from her pager and raises her perfect brows at you. Her voice is cold. “Well??? Go on.”

Despite the churning in your stomach, the sick feeling at something not being quite right about this, you reach back and are rid of your bra, first. Then you push your underwear down your legs and off your feet before placing both the items with the rest of your clothes on a stylish red leather armchair close by. Nerves worse then any you’ve experienced in the past swirl and bubble and boil in your stomach, but you relax your face and force your shoulders back. 

You’re fine. This is fine. This is your job. You haven't been this naked in front of anyone that wasn't your mother or your ex boyfriend in your life... and those were both people you trusted, dearly, but... It’s fine. 

And you’ll just have to try to ignore the fact that, if Cruella were a man, you wouldn’t have done it. Its a sexist and sometimes unfortunate bias, but its true. Been her a man, you would’ve left. 

... But because she’s a woman... you let it happen. 

Cruella looks up and you also ignore the veiled interest - Veiled, but definitely there, - in her eyes at the sight of you as she pockets her pager and peels off her gloves. Then pulls out her measuring tape. “Finally, dear. You know time doesn't grow on trees. Now- stand straight for me! Chin up!” 

A sharp, black nail digs into the skin under your chin, forcing you to look up and you’re forced to ignore one more thing; Your goddamn shaking. Maybe if you don't think about it, then she wont notice. Just maybe. 

This is too good an opportunity, you chant in your head, over and over in different ways as Cruella’s searing touches last too long, sit too close to places, too often, as she just tries to get a feel for you. I will not lose this chance because I’m a little bit uncomfortable. 

Or... or, a lot. You think, wincing as Cruella's characteristic, fluffy coat tickles your skin.

“Oh, yes. Lovely, darling! Beautiful. I knew you were just perfect for my new line.” 

You sigh, a little relieved at her words. Maybe you’re just being silly, and this is normal. I mean, she is a lot more experienced in this area then I am. Maybe you’re just being over-sensitive... Surely. For, what else could it be? A nervous smile flickers across your face. “Really?” 

“Oh, yes.” She reassures you. “Definitely. I’m absolutely sure.” Her long fingered hands suddenly find your breasts, and all the almost-comfort from a moment ago slips totally away as you freeze at the foreign contact on your tits. A breathy laugh comes from her, causing your gaze to slip from the wall behind her, up to the tall woman’s face- horror clear all over yours. “Oh, darling. You haven't had this done?” Your cheeks enflame out of embarrassment - at what’s happening? Or your inexperience? You arent sure! God, the lines are starting to blur... - again. Is... is this normal? “Its a bit of an old-fashioned, hands-on practice but I find that I get better results this way.” The older women smirks, raising an eyebrow down at your big, round eyes staring so innocently back at her. Her thumbs need into your skin, slowly, and your skin squirms under them. “Don’t you, Y/N?” She’s challenging you, daring you to argue with her on this. 

... You don’t. Your lips remain closed; And she just smiles wider. 

This is my big chance. This is my big chance. This is my big chance.  

“Very good.” You wince as her hands leave your breasts, yes, with one final squeeze but venture further down which is not at all better, mapping the skin of your sides right down to your hips. “Now turn around, darling. And be a dear and bend over for us. We need to get a good feel for your hips- find out if I need to make the pants a more elastic fabric or not, you know. We wouldn't want you to split my 4,000 dollar elephant leather pants on the runway or on live TV!; 

That might be a tad embarrassing.” 

Lady Tremaine: 

I am no victim. 

The monsters that end up in my sheets were pulled up from under my bed by ME. - Erin Van Vuren

“Uhh- Mother?” You call from the dress store dressing room, assessing yourself in the mirror. You’re wearing your corset and your skirt, and, you think you look nice. Really, nice.

Hopefully, 'mommy' agrees. 

“Hm,” You smirk, setting your hands in your hips. This is going to be fun. 

“Yes, Y/N? What do you need?” The edges of Tremaine’s skirt appear under the curtain that protects your modesty from the rest of the boutique and the other of the women and girls scoring fabrics and the ready-made dresses and you go to the side of the curtain to meet her, peeling it back to peak out, and up at her. Her intense lime gaze floats down to meet yours and she raises her eyebrows expectantly. 

“Could you come in here and help me with my corset? I’m struggling.” 

For a moment she doesn't react, just narrows her eyes... slowly. This is a classic look on her. It reads ‘What are you up to, Y/N’. You love this look on her. It makes you want to fulfil her suspicions about you and your intentions, to the highest degree. 

But, for now - at least for the next moment, - you just smile sweetly and add on a ‘Please’. 

The look in your wide, young eyes causes her to sigh and roll hers. “Step away from the curtain Y/N.” 

“Yay!” You squee, jumping back to the mirror so she can come in and drag the curtain carefully, fully closed before she turns around. You enjoy her gaze licking up your form in your chosen outfit or lack of; Clearly pleased, even as her stony expression doesnt change- you just know. Tilting your head to the side, you grin evilly. “What do you say, mommy? Can you help me?” 

Immediately she releases a huff of frustration and shakes her head, generally acclimatised where your eccentricities are concerned, but still tired. “Oh, don’t be so vulgar.” 

“Mommy why do you hurt me so?” You pout.

Tremaine tilts her head forward and glares up at you from below her lashes and heavy eyelids. “Vulgar.”

“Oh, I can show you vulgar, if you really want me too.” You reply, making your voice low and husky and smirking back at her. 

Honestly you weren’t sure how this plan would go. Your step mother’s a total stiffy for being proper - and getting frisky in the boutique dressing room is absolutely not included in that particular handbook, - , apart from the scheduled Friday nights when your younger ‘sisters’ are out and the two of you are alone. So you definitely expecting her to roll those beautiful eyes and leave; set that typical resting bitch face back to her features and leave you all needy and alone and ignore you until Friday, but instead- 

“Fine. But because you’re being so childish, you are going to do all the work.” 

“Oh, yes please.” You exclaim, excitedly dropping down onto your knees and starting to gather up her long purple skirts. 

Human!Toon Patrol:

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head - Rihanna, The Monster

The man squints into the darkness of your room, and you’re almost able to fool yourself into thinking you’ve disappeared into the darkness and that he cant see you- that he doesn't see you sitting there on the bed frozen like a statue, weaponless and tired and exposed to any who might wonder in and want to hurt you like him. But that move never worked with Smart Ass and it doesn’t work now, with this strange man.

Who definitely shouldn't be in the house when your captors are away. 

His gaze catches yours, causing a sharp pang of fear to shoot up into your chest, and for you to flinch. He leans out of the doorway and looks down the hall, to where assumedly there are buddies of his, rifling through things that aren't there's. “Hey... Rex? There’s a girl, in here!” 

“What!? I thought it was just those gangsters living here?” Another voice calls back, rougher. More frustrated. 

Of course they don't know about you, though. They couldnt. No one does. Your skin hasn't felt real, undiluted sunlight in years; You aren't even allowed near windows. It had upset you, at first. When you were first brought here. But... its been a long time since then, now. And you don’t even remember what you’re supposed to miss, besides- Psycho says that your increased risk of contracting heart disease at such a young age, is 'quirky'. And 'cute'.

Wheezy says it makes the two of you two peas in a pod.

So of course its a shock for them to find you here. No records have been made of your existence since you were even brought here. ‘Rex’, a big man - not in the way Stupid is big. All soft around the edges and cuddly, no. He’s sharp, and... hard. Like a rock, - with familiar orange fingertips appears at the doorway with the first man, and you watch round eyed as he peers into the dark to find you. When he does, his eyes widen and an eyebrow lifts up his forehead. “Hell... there really is a girl!” 

“Yeah. So- what do we do with her? She’s seen our faces, man.” 

Rex runs a hand back through his hair and breathes out slowly the air from his puffed up cheeks. “Uh, well I guess, kill her? Not much you can do. I’ll leave that to you, Oz, I gotta help Jay with the TV.” And with a final clap on the shoulder, Rex leaves the room. Oz’s eyes return to your form, something shifting beyond them that’s familiar... but somehow more terrifying then that which you’ve become used to every day. 

He tilts his head to the side. “Can you talk?” 

Glancing around the room for an escape that’s never been there before - why one would appear now, you have no idea, - , you nod. “Y- yeah.” 

“What’re you lookin’ for? So skittish... it’ll be quick, I promise. Although,” The man tilts his head the other side, getting closer. “You are cute. If I’m killing you anyway, a little traumatising shouldn’t make much of a difference- should it? Naw... C’mere, kitten- “ 

WHACK!

Your eyes squeeze tightly shut, as the unknown man called Oz violently hits the floor, after Stupid’s bat came into contact hard with the back of his head. He whips around on the ground, looking up at the hulking figure that is but one of your captors, who you aren’t at all upset to see right now, standing in the doorway silhouetted by the hallway light. “What the fuck- “ 

“Duhh- What are you doin’ here?? I don’t know you! Oh, Y/N, do you know him?”

Shifting back on the bed, lifting your feet away from the floored Oz’s reach, you shake you head. “No.” 

“’Course Y/N doesn't know him, you moron. Y/N doesn't know nobody but us. Get rid of the trespassin’ bastard already.” Smartass appears behind Stupid, slipping past him and into the room. He’s coming towards you, but stops - distracted, - by Oz’s terrified, caught form, and changes tact. He leans down towards the home invader and attempted worse, and sneers; His fury at the attempt to hurt you, bleeding through his attempted cool exterior. “Not so talkative now, aye? Asshole.” 

His detour allows Greasy to get to you first, and the pervert sits down on the bed beside you, dragging your hands from your body and holding them in his lap. He leans in close to you, and you smell his horrible too-strong cologne- your nose scrunching up at the scent. Its mixed with blood, today. You hate it. But you don’t move; You know very well not to, besides, everything about him is soft right now. You wouldn't dare do anything to change that. “Cariño, amor... did this man hurt you?” 

Without thinking, you admit, “He was going to.” 

A deep, horrendous scowl stretches Greasy’s nose and turns the corners of his lips down. “Unforgivable.” 

“Psycho, the honours?” Wheezy, coughing and hacking as usual and just getting words out around it, slips a new pack of cigarettes into his vets pocket - a brand he never uses... your thoughts wonder back to the other man. With the fingers like Wheezy’s, - and leans on the door frame just behind Stupid with Psycho- who stands, highly hee-hee-heeing on the other side of Stupid. 

“Ooooooh, I’d LOVE too!!” 

Then Psycho (And Stupid, who evidently didn't get the message that it was only supposed to be Psycho this time) pounce on the man on the floor and all of a sudden screams, and hitting sounds followed by snaps, and horrible gurgling noises echo around in the room and become the totallity of what you can hear, or even think about, as ‘justice’ is done. You curl into Greasy’s (Always) waiting arms and try not to cry - not from fear, not because of the horrible sounds. Because you’re overwhelmed. You're not ysed to all this sound and all this stimulation. You dont know what what else to do but clutch onto Greasy, -  and peak past the green fabric to catch familiar luminescent blue eyes - through the typical, poisonous tobacco cloud, - belonging to Wheezy, staring at you. He winks.

Home Bound: Carnation

(Azul belongs to @azulsartdump)

"Carnation, sweetie, why did you bring your gym uniform?" The fae's question caused the shark to glow from embarrassment. Azul offered to help them unpack, despite their protests since they didn't have much.

"Well... I usually sleep in a over size t-shirt and shorts, but all my pajamas had big holes in it and didn't seem like something I should bring to a fancy place even if they were just to sleep in, so I brought my gym uniform since it's comfy enough."

"Is that also why you didn't pack many other clothes?"

"Well, as a merfolk I don't actually wear clothes and most that I have are super worn out or the stuff I got from the school..."

This caused the dragonfly faery to stand suddenly which made Carnation babble more.

"Not that I'm upset or complaining, I met a very nice older woman that taught me how to mend and alter clothes when needed. And she taught me how to knit which I always wanted to learn so I'm very grateful. I just felt that the things I own that aren't from the school weren't nice enough."

As they continued the noble walked to the door where the maid that was assigned to the merfolk was waiting. She quietly told the maid something before turning towards them.

"No need to worry, we'll just have to go shopping to get you some new clothes," the blue haired woman chippered, "The carriage should be ready for us to head out soon, so let's go." Before they had anytime to protest she began to push them out of the room.

"Azul, are you sure this is okay, we already bought quite a lot at the first few shops," Carnation questioned before walking out of the dressing room in another outfit. Most the clothes they had tried on were off whites and pastels or occasionally deep green. Shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, vests, pajamas, even shoes, it all seemed like too much for just this trip. Sure they've been talking about Azul adopting the lantern shark, but this was starting feel excessive.

"Of course not, we haven't even gotten to accessories yet. Oh, I like the pattern of that vest on you." The knight turned to the employee that was helping them, "Could I get that vest in dark green and light pink as well as that one added to our bill as well."

"Of course Lady Attwood," the employee bowed slightly before walking away to gather the items the two had bought and Carnation went to change back into their clothes.

"Why do we need more, I have plenty of clothes now, and you got me a couple pairs of shoes as well, I couldn't ask for more." The shark emerged from the changing room once more in their normal clothes and they felt exhausted. The two had been shopping for hours and the sun was beginning to set.

"Of course. And this isn't just because I might adopt you. You are dear to me and I love spoiling my friends."

"I appreciate all of this, I really do it's just, well, I'm tired. We were in the carriage for quite awhile earlier then we started shopping not too long after I was introduced to Mr. Attwood, so everything's been a bit tiring," they explained while tugging anxiously on their sleeves.

"Oh, honey, I'm sorry." Azul walked over to them noticing how tired they look now that she's closer to them. "I got a little carried away. We can go back home, maybe we can do accessories a different day." The shark nodded and the fae went to pay for all the clothes they bought. All the boxes and bags were loaded onto the carriage that the two came to town in as they went into it before heading back to the estate.

Chapter 121 - I hope none of the birds affected by the sleeping gas died from falling from a height, especially if they fell on concrete. I don't think the gas itself would affect the birds but it also very well might since they can't handle as much due to being much smaller animals or from not being able to handle the chemicals used.

Chapter 122 - Shark's expressions are so hideous 🤢

- At least Raizel knows how to be nice by sharing food lmao. Frankenstein beaming like a proud father of a 2-year-old who's doing that is definitely not praxis though.

Chapter 124 - Shark being astounded that nobles care about innocents is amusing. I suppose that aside from the Elders, the Union members think nobles consider other species to be inferior or like cockroaches or toys.

- Although I do find Frankenstein plotting to teach Seira cooking so she can cook for Raizel when he can't extremely funny, I do also find it somewhat disturbing. He's essentially making a teen girl do child labour. Yes she and Regis are imposing on him and I do think they should be doing some manner of chores, but making her cook lavish meals? I also know she's doing it willingly but it still makes me cringe since something being one's choice doesn't negate it being bad. And yes technically she's 'of age' since she's 217, whatever that means since she's still obviously a teen compared to Raizel who actually is an adult going to school with children (which is a whole other can of worms), but aside from her position as clan leader she's very obviously not viewed as an adult by most.

Chapter 125 - On one hand I'd love to get a front row seat to the internal drama within the DA-5 lile M-21 but otoh I don't want to die a painful death or get beaten up.

- So like obviously Seira knows that Raizel and Frankenstein aren't ordinary humans unlike Regis but it is hilarious to think she just told the truth to two men she thinks are frail innocent humans.

Chapter 127 - You'd really think that the Union would be investing more into memory altering drugs but nah. The only ones they have will also fuck your brain up. Really not a good idea when most of your agents/experiments obviously have been administered aforementioned drugs. If it was only used sparingly on civilians I'd get it but it's quite widespread so...

Chapter 128 - As much as Frankenstein complains about the mess the kids make, he enjoys having them over as much as Raizel does. Soft hearted bastard.

Chapter 130 - The girls bandaging M-21 up even as Regis fights has them being smarter than like 90% of other characters in media. They're the real reason he didn't hit the dust immediately smh.

Chapter 132 - I still think the coming of age ceremony has a 50% chance of actually being them ingesting drugs that are the equivalent of stat boosting items in games but also ya know, real world drugs that fuck you up. The other 50% is just them getting much stronger after they turn 200 because their bodies are just like that and it truly is purely ceremonial and a fun tradition like children's day or girl's day or birthdays rather than something that actually affects them.

- Lol Kranz, Regis won't be leaving a corpse if he dies. Purebloods are just special like that. Can you imagine if they did see a pureblood dying? They'd regret killing them so bad.

Chapter 133 - Raizel commanding Frankenstein to stop his experiments is definitely something, like bro maybe he was figuring out electrolysis, not like you know what he was doing. Plus it's not like Frankenstein listened completely. Man has a lab under his house and it wasn't built after Raizel woke. I guess he only stopped modification experiements on others and only did checkups on himself but didn't stop experimenting for other stuff like idk, better fertiliser.

- Kinda amazing Takeo didn't get stabbed in the heart.

Chapter 137 - I know it's just because Gejutel likely explained the lord's powers to him but the idea that Regis knows what a blood field is because Raskreia does demonstrations to entertain little kids is making me giggle.

Chapter 140 - So the Union only came upon Frankenstein's research 540 years ago... that's only 40 years before Raskreia became lord. Interesting.

- Ah yes... the classic joke of Tao not teaching Takeo korean properly. It's also very amusing envisioning Tao teaching the DA-5 members korean.

- ARIS ARIS ARIS. God she looks adorbs. Also I love her referring to DA-5 as 'my children' and 'my babies'. Aris >>> all other scientists. Amd hi Yuri :)

Chapter 141 - Yuri listening to Aris insulting Crombel repeatedly,,, he probably enjoys every aspect of it from knowing she's not aware he's his underling to being able to hear someone insult Crombel.

- Once again union members don't know jack shit. They think werewolves are extinct while Maduke and Lunark are literally Elders 😭🤡😭

- Werewolves having a small population never made sense to me even with the whole thing about them not having mind control and thus keeping away from humans secretly since even civilians are stronger than humans on average but like why tf would wolves have such a low reproduction rate? And that's why I hc that 90% of them are just homosexual.

Chapter 142 - D doesn't consume your lifeforce bro. That's just the drugs causing heavy strain on the body, etc etc. The rest of your explanation was fine but talking about lifeforce or vitality makes no sense.

- We all know Yuri's smart but the fact that he tries to get Frankenstein as a subject by scouting him first is very clever. It's believable too since Frankenstein is supposed to be quite handsome.

Chapter 144 - Well we don't know of Crombel microchips his Assassination Squad but Aris canonically microchips her experiments 🤣

Chapter 147 - Okay but this panel... she's hot. I'd let her dissect me <3

- If this was some other media I'd talk about the symbolism of the attack looking like a rapier and go on for a paragraph but this is Noblesse so it's obviously just a coincidence lmao.

- "A living robot" so like... a cyborg.

Chapter 148 - Yuri getting pissed at being attacked and retaliating but pretending it was him being loyal to Aris... Love it. Also he must be really confused as to who tf Frankenstein is since as one of Crombel's most important lackeys he'd definitely know about such a powerful experiment under him if they existed and thus unlike Aris knows that he's not been sent by Crombel.

Chapter 149 - Yup def confused, especially when he realises Frankenstein's power is like Crombel's.

Chapter 150 - Girlboss,,, also it's been years and I'm still wondering... why is her outfit like that? Neon genesis evangelion girlboss does have a ring to it though.

- Ah yes, Taivra time.

Chapter 151 - Okay yeah I feel so bad for Takeo but also Aris is so good at manipulating him and and and iwi. The fact that she can cry on command though... impressive.

- "From the beginning you were an only child. That's why I got you to experiment on." Okay cool time to ignore that again for my own amusement of having all of noblesse's named modified human women be related to Takeo.

- Okay I'm obsessed with strawberry milk myself but strawberries do not taste anywhere near that good. Not even the sweet ones.

Chapter 153 - Yeah no I don't agree that Takeo losing his will to live is an insult to your comrades M-21. You could have said all that in a gentler way. Just because Takeo was luckier than you experiment wise doesn't mean you get to be so rude.

Chapter 154 - M-21 misleading Tao and Takeo to thinking he's being experimented on and then turning around to laugh at them when they find out it's just ramyeon... mood.

- I really do wonder what 12th Elder's military medals are for.

Sidenotes - Hammer being smart <3 I honestly didn't remember that part of him and I'm glad he's not given purely negative traits. He's the only reason Shark lived past 2 chapters tbh.

- Truly, D is one of the worst letters of the alphabet to have named the drugs DA-5 uses. The other bad choice would be P. On the opposite end of the spectrum, T would have been a great choice for the irony. Not that it matters since the inspiration for the drug from name to physical transformation is obviously 🍆

- Nobles being so nonchalant about murder is kinda fucked up like yeah they suck but you can't just kill them??? Lukedonia my beloved your justice system sucks. I do hc they can't just do this in Lukedonia though or to other nobles even if outside of Lukedonia, it's just that the jurisdiction of nobles doesn't apply outside of Lukedonia and they do on some level think of themselves as a superior species so they're fine with just... killing people.

- Aris obsessing over handsome men as experiments and treating them like toys but ignoring women altogether? Not experimenting on women? Gaslight gatekeep girlboss,,, a feministe of our own,,, perhaps even a... lesbienne. But yeah I just love how she acts and I love her and how she interacts with Yuri. And yeah he's cool too.

- Tbh aside from how short the skirts are and the white blazers, the Ye Ran uniform really reminds me of my own school's uniform. The colours are exactly the same. We just didn't have blazers since it was a forever summer tropical country, only jumpers for if it got too cold in the air conditioned rooms. And for some people who grow up in tropical countries... 25°C can be too cold.

[bellamaxlabs]

Alright everyone you're in for a ride with this one I've taken it upon myself to try and narrow down every single piece of information botw gives us on what timeline it could possibly be on. I do have to preface this though I won't be counting DLC or amiibo items because they aren't part of the plot or main game as a whole. (I will go into this more though in a sec)

Also this is going to be absolutely monstrous so bear with me bro please

Now of course we know that botw takes place in the far far FAR future, well past any Zelda game we've seen so far (besides hwaoc). While we don't know exactly how far, it's enough time for Hyrule to get past the Iron age (long overdue, if you ask me) and start dabbling into advanced technology. (Of course this happened 10,000 years prior and was stopped by the king of the time, but still a huge accomplishment for the Sheikah and Hyrule as a whole).

The game itself also gives us insight into different races, it's clearly been enough time that the Rito look completely different, more like birds than their Windwaker predecessors. We can say the same about the Zora, less like actual people and more like whatever animal they're based on (Sidon = shark, Dorephan = whale, etc). Now I'm not going to specifically go into evolution time because major changes in any kind of animal take literally millions of years, and I feeeeeel like nintendo wouldn't exactly say botw's hyrule is like 20my in the future. So there's that factor.

Now to separate from that whole time gap and move on, the first thing I'm going to look at is the Child Era - (take a look at the official timeline here) There's evidence in-game for Hyrule branching off of Twilight Princess in particular, but I'm going to talk about why this does not support botw coming off of the Child timeline.

The first thing that might come to mind when you think of twilight princess and botw could be wolf link - but when you really think about it, his presence in botw is really not for canonical reasons.

{Transcript - These sketches illustrate an early idea to have a dog that would be Link's navigator companion. Wolf Link did not end up serving as a navigator, but the idea of a canine companion fighting monsters with Link came from these initial concepts.}

So really what Mr. nintendo did was take an original concept from the beta game and reskin it for wolf link just to Look Cool. No hate because wolf link is indeed cool, just doesn't prove anything timeline wise.

The next thing I'll talk about is one more twilight princess related concept, the Arbiter's Grounds. One might just say hey, Arbiter's grounds is in tp and botw, conundrum solved. But nope I'm gonna make it way more complicated than it needs to be alright just hear me out. The Arbiter's grounds was explained in twilight princess to be a jail for the worst criminals Hyrule was ever to see. Now you're asking, why exactly is that important? If it was a prison for Hyrule's worst criminals wouldn't it have been built even if Ganon was already dead, aka Adult timeline?

If I was some King I'd totally build a shiny new prison after my kingdom was just almost obliterated. And that's exactly what happens, as shown in twilight princess, and it's 'divine punishments' or whatever are overseen by the sages from oot. While in the fallen hero timeline obviously there's no one to build the prison left alive, the adult era gives a perfect opportunity. The sages still exist, Hyrule was still alive, (for a short time, at least) I can't see a real reason why they wouldn't build it.

So basically without the resounding evidence of Wolf Link and Arbiter's Grounds to back it up, I think we can safely rule out the child timeline influencing botw in any way. (Though I may be wrong and I'm open to any suggestions - I haven't played FSA and couldn't give any input on that part.

Now onto the next timeline - The Adult Timeline

Now while I personally don't have too much to say about this one (Only ever played Windwaker) I do think there is some pretty substantial evidence to suggest that botw is indeed on Windwaker's timeline.

The first and most substantial point I might have is the divine beasts - they're all named after influential members of each race of Hyrule. The reason I personally think this is unequivocal evidence is because Vah Medoh is quite literally named after Medli, the most important Rito figure in Windwaker and sage of the earth. You can't really get more straightforward than that. It's also the only Zelda game with both the Rito and the Zora included, though the Sheikah and Gerudo are missing. (genocide, anyone?)

Either way, the game makes it pretty clear that whatever timeline botw is on contained some version of Medli, and I don't exactly think there's some Medli duplicate over there on the fallen hero timeline, so we're pretty much guaranteed in the Adult timeline for botw.

Now I would go into a full on rant about the fallen hero timeline like I did for the others and gosh I didn't even go into the maps or the temple of time or the master sword locations or the deku tree but I'm pretty sure I should wrap this up before it turns into more than a thousand words

TLDR - Botw couldn't possibly take place on the Child timeline and is guaranteed in the Adult timeline, Fallen hero timeline still needs to be deciphered

#god that took so fucking long #really i'll be surprised if anyone actually reads this but thanks in advanced bro #lemme know if u want a part 2 i'm so ready #zelda #botw #timeline #adult timeline #child timeline #fallen hero timeline #botw 2 giving us timeline confirmation nintendo please??

Akatani Mikumo (+Other Prototypes) Headcannons

For those who aren't aware, Akatani Mikumo was a prototype for Izuku Midoriya. Here is a sample sketch below:

Physically speaking, Akatani has black long hair that covers his red eyes. Otherwise, he still carries most of Izuku's traits (the boi got da freckles!!!). So, without further ado...

...here we go.

Like Izuku, Akatani's nickname is also his hero name: Yamikumo.

Yuu Takeyama was originally the name of Ochako's prototype. She had some of Ochako's looks, but her quirk and name were of Mt. Lady. Eventually, Horikoshi gave the name and quirk to the Mt. Lady we know today, but he kept Prototype!Yuu's design, eventually turning her into Ochako. Much like her cannon counterpart, Yuu has a crush on Akatani, and their feelings are ultimately reciprocated.

Akatani's Katsuki is actually a decent person, though he also has a tendency to accidentally tell people off. He looks exactly like Katsuki, but his personality is completely different. His nickname is Gougou (轟轟), which means "rumbling." He and Akatani are basically brothers in everything but blood.

Akatani's All Might is buff 24/7. He didn't have a crippling injury because there wasn't an All for One in his world. This All Might just spends his time taking down everyday villains, and the occasional megalomaniacal mega boss who almost defeats All Might but then loses because this world is more in line with classic comic books. Also, his hero name is Valiant.

Akatani remains Quirkless. One for All is replaced by Super-Power as Valiant's quirk.

Valiant and Akatani have an... interesting dynamic. Valiant still wants to be the Symbol of Peace (he's doing a good job of it, too), and then he sees this scrappy young teen who, in spite of his own apparent cynicisms and lack of a quirk, still wants to become a hero and stick it up to the stuck ups and villains alike. Seeing Akatani would likely remind Valiant how he was once an idealistic teen, too (Super-Power grows stronger as time goes on, like how One for All grew stronger with each wielder). Valiant would realize that he may have gotten a bit too caught up in the moment of stopping flashy villains and overhyping petty theft. Akatani would make him see that he still has a lot of work to do... and maybe he'd give Akatani some words of wisdom while he's at it.

Akatani isn't as initially hopeful as Izuku was. He's still berated for being Quirkless, which grates on his self-esteem and makes him a bit cynical. His ideology would be a combination of All Might's heroism and what Akatani has seen from the bottom of the social chain. He'd probably get into one or two fist fights with the other kids because he's trying to protect someone else. But even if he's beaten and bruised? The bullies go away; the person Akatani was protecting is safe. That's enough for him to decide that quirk or Quirkless, he's gonna be a hero. He also wouldn't be as self-depreciating as Izuku because Gougou (and later Yuu) would be his support system. He's still a bit reckless, though.

I personally think that in terms of gear, Akatani would have the following:

Electro-Gloves (Izuku's Full Cowl lighting is one of his most prominent aesthetics, and his early drafts suggest a tazer would be a part of his arsenal. Thus, I give Yamikumo cool combat gloves with electric properties to continue the trend.)

Grappling Hook Guns (He has two of them on his person when he's out heroing. Also, as this post states, Akatani's hero name was more in line as a Spider-Man reference, so him occasionally swinging on his way to deliver justice, or just trapping villains, isn't too far fetched.)

Utility Belt (Yamikumo still has a utility belt in his costume. It's mostly just first aid in the pockets, but he does carry two other items in particular: flash bangs and smoke bombs. Yamikumo is a bruiser, but he likes working in a little misdirection into his fighting style. When you're Quirkless, use every advantage given to you.)

Izuku got a slight costume redesign, so I think it's only fair that Yamikumo gets his own as well (plus, his initial hero costume is a bit too creepy). I'd personally go for a more indirect form of intimidation. Yamikumo would still wear a respirator with the whole shark teeth grin aesthetic, just a little bit smoother than the one in his initial sketches. The top part of his costume would basically be the extremely durable and dark equivalent of an All Might hoodie (he'd even keep the bunny ears). He'd still wear his own unique brand of red shoes, though.

[A picture of Yamikumo's original hero gear with his own unique red shoes, alongside a Prototype!Yuu.]

If Akatani ever met his other counterparts (Izuku [Hero], Izuka [Hero], Deku [Villain], and Dekiru [Vigilante]), he'd likely be one of the only sane members of the group.

Akatani does the Naruto run sometimes. Don't question why, he just does. It's surprisingly effective, too.

If his hood takes damage for whatever reason, Akatani has a backup mask in his Utility Belt reminiscent of his old costume with a built in filtration system.

Akatani is a good team player, but if he's placed on the same team with Prototype!Yuu or Gougou, RUN.

Akatani will not hesitate to poke your eyes put with his Electro-Gloves if he's pissed enough.

Akatani is a surprisingly good therapist; he'll listen to your problems and comfort you afterwards, but he'll be honest if he has to be.

Akatani's smile is actually very bright. His smile with his hero gear on is only bright if he's not facing a villain.

Akatani and Prototype!Yuu cuddle. So do Akatani and Gougou.

Akatani has some of Izuku's other qualities, like compulsive muttering, scary analytical skills, and lacking social graces.

He's probably more composed than Izuku is, and his brand of awkward is more deadpan and honest misunderstanding, like Shoto and Mr. Aizawa.

Akatani likes to spar. If Gougou's busy, Yuu will likely fill in for him.

Yuu's quirk is slightly different from Canon!Mt. Lady. She can actually increase the size of her limbs separately. Of course, the proportional strength still carries over.

Aaaaaaaaand that's all the headcannons I got! Hope you enjoyed!

Don't be #thirstythursday Don't Small Market Brainwash Your Beauty Business by #MarginaDennis

Happy Thursday! Today's post was inspired by two people: Latia Curtis and Mary Rockwood-Crabtree. Latia because she is a living breathing example of what success looks like in a smaller market and Mary for bringing up this very subject. It is a topic that I have talked about many times with other creative's who think they are at a disadvantage because they are in a smaller market. They immediately put into their minds that "clients aren't going to pay those big city rates". The cost of goods to do your job or to get to work isn't magically heavily discounted because you happen to live in Little Rock, Arkansas. That Red Monstro video camera still costs over $50K and Cannon 5D Mark IV Camera over $3K (this is without having multiple lens). I haven't even discussed the cost of good lighting or sound equipment. When I day play on film and tv sets I take a very small condensed kit with me so it is a fraction of what I would normally have with me on kit and some of the items are very different than what I would have on a print job. I have to submit an itemized list of everything so that I can get the kit rental. My makeup kit for day playing is about $7K. I still have a primary kit that still has additional products added and subtracted from depending on the job requirements; a fully stocked hair kit when I am hired to do hair as well, a full airbrush system to do both face and body. I stopped keeping a fully stocked effects kit because it was literally like throwing money away because things were not getting used before they went bad. Enough of my side thoughts...I hope you are getting the picture of what expense goes into being a working pro makeup/hair artist and my kit cost is closer to the cost of that Red Monstro!

Your cost of gas, food, internet, clothes, isn't magically 80 percent less than what it costs in the big city either. I hope I am painting a picture for you as to why your rates can't be either. Your business still needs to be able to pay you a salary and be able to afford not only the cost of the equipment to run your business but also for you to run your life. Granted rent in Little Rock might not be as high as Manhattan but you as an entity is SEPERATE from your business. Your business pays you, not the other way around. If you ever watch Shark Tank you have heard people talk about not taking a salary because their business wasn't profitable enough to do so. Being a creative is no different. You need to be charging enough so that you can afford to be paid a salary from your business. I write a check to myself twice a month from my business account for my salary from my business. I am the makeup artist who works to deliver makeup services to clients for my company. No different than if you are running a bridal team and you happen to be the only employee. If my business account doesn't have enough money to cover payroll then guess who doesn't get a paycheck?

I feel that people who are in smaller markets have a great opportunity and potential if they play their cards right. I know artists who have created their own community of similar skill level and like-minds who agree that they are not going to charge less than a certain amount of money in their market. So when clients starts calling around price shopping they are met with that minimum or more that they particular type of job. Talking about a great way to work together and not against one another! In my honest opinion It boils down three things:

1. Business Sensibilty - Understanding what is going on in the bigger markets and overall business of being a creative, no matter what your roll is in it. It is so important to truly understand this and unfortunately it isn't as simple as putting a post in a group.

2. Perception - How clients perceive your business and the people who work for it. Kendall Stolz is a working professional in Ohio and I always remembered Kendall as the go to person when productions from L.A. and New York with travelling there to shoot. Her website looked like someone who was based in a larger market. Her rates also supported that perception.

3. Skills - Having the skill set to support what you are offering. And knowing what you are good at, possibly exceptionally better at that particular skill then others in your market. So important to learn what you excel at or you just end up being perceived as exactly the same as the next artist who is charging a third of what you are charging for rates.

I mentioned Latia Curtis at the beginning of this because she is a perfect example of someone who is working and thriving in a smaller market. But she didn't get there without sacrifice, putting in alot of hard work, and financially investing in her business. Putting in the work has gotten it to where it is today and continues to do so.

I'm going to be sending out a guide next week to my website subscribers "Secrets to Success in Smaller Markets" PLUS my Rates Calculator worksheet that normally costs $20 to purchase. If have to be signed up on my mailing list to receive this limited time offer and I will be sending out the calculator and secrets August 1st!

Masked: Planning

(Azul, Nanami and the Strand triplets are @azulsartdump and Marsella is @/faehistorian)

(CW: abandonment)

The two knights went to talk to the Ignihyde first year that ran the lost and found club. His crows were known to 'find' things are return them to him so they went to check with him. The two Pomefiore students were looking around the courtyard that the shark last remembered having the mask at. Meanwhile the small merfolk was looking around their dormitory. The five promised to meet up in about an hour at the pink haired student's room regardless of news.

"You are looking for a shiny metal mask, correct?" the young beastman asked politely as he looked through a box which seemed to hold many fragile items.

"It had a curled pattern and was pinkish in color," the dragonfly faery explained with a nod. Her arms were crossed and eyebrows knit in concern. The lion continued to look in silence before shaking his head.

"Beanie," he called extending his arm. Swiftly a large black bird landed on his outstretched arm, it sqwacked in a way that sounded like it said its own name. "Have you found anything large and not given it to me?"

"Beanie," it repeated before ruffling its feathers as if shaking its head no. The first year sighed and gave the two before him an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, it hasn't been reported in, but I could send Felix out to help look. He and Beanie are the most trusted of my friends."

"That would be great, thank you," the redhead nodded this time.

"Good girl Beanie," he let the raven fly off his arm before calling out again. "Felix." This time a different bird landed on his arm, this one appeared to be a falcon. He cooed happily as the boy stroked his head.

"You are going to be helping these two in search for something." The bird bobbed its head in understanding. "Do you have a picture?" The two knights thought for a second.

"Carnation sent one to the group chat I think." The second-year said before scrolling through her phone. After a moment she turned the phone towards the male and his bird.

"That's what you're looking for." The bird nodded again before flying off. "He'll caw twice when he finds something. Whistle sharply to call him to you." The two knights nodded before heading off.

The two large eels watched in mild entertainment as the shark paced through the halls. They checked under tables, chairs, couches, anything that could be hiding their mask.

"Didn't you dance with Cuttlefish? Why aren't you part of that contest?" The taller turned to his brother.

"Because this is far more interesting." The other said with a well placed smile and his twin smiled.

"Can't argue with that." The two turned away from the struggling merfolk with chuckles. About half an hour later the searched all they could of Octavinelle so they approached one of the triplets.

"Hey Donar, have you seen my mask?" The oldest of the Strand brothers turned towards the lantern shark quizzically. "The one I wore at the masquerade, it was somewhat pink with a curly design." Donar blinked a few times before give a slight smile.

"Sorry, I can't say I have, but it's a pleasure to know I danced with someone I know at the ball." His response had them glowing slightly, but it was short lived since he hadn't seen it. "I'll let you know if I see it."

"I see, alright, thank you." Their face dropped sadly and they walked away. That expression made the sting of the lie worse, so he came up with a plan.

---

The hour was almost up for the Pomefiore roommates. They looked under benches and in flower beds looking for something some would call meaningless, but the item meant a lot to their friend so they weren't going to judge. Both looked up when hearing fast footsteps approaching.

"Mama, Miss Nanami!" the youngest of the triplets halted his run once he was a few feet away from the two. "I have a message Donar wanted me to get to you right away," he clear his throat and changed his posture to be similar to his brother's.

"I know where the mask is," he spoke as if trying to impersonate his brother. The electric eel then handed a letter to the brunette, saluted, and marched off causing the roommates to laugh. Marsella, who was handed the letter, opened it and read the contents.

"I think we need a plan to get it back." Green eyes narrowed as she folded the note and put it in her bag. "First we should get back to the others and discuss what we found."

When the four ladies arrived at Octavinelle they spotted the shark with what looked like a bowl of mashed potatoes. The dormitory was quiet which explained why they were in the common area with such a sad expression. The group took seats near their friend.

"Hey Carnation, any luck?" The redhead was to speak, none of them grasped why the mask was so important to Carnation, but they were ready to comfort their friend no matter what. They also knew that the merfolk was so busy looking that they didn't know about the race to find them.

The first-year shook their head, pink locks staying in their face. No one moved to fix their hair nor did they wait for them to talk.

"No luck with Sol, but we have helping eyes in the sky now." Azul hoped that the extra help would cheer up her young friend, but they just ate more of what was in their bowl.

"No luck with us either," the brunette spoke up before her roommate, not saying anything about the letter. A curious look was shared between the Pomefiore students that the fae noticed.

"Thank you for looking," the first-year finally said after a moment of silence, "Sorry for causing so much trouble." They didn't look up, especially when they felt tears starting to form.

"Not to be rude, but why is it so important, couldn't you just get another?" Marsella asked a little curious. The shark took a deep breath before looking up, but away from the group.

"Well a couple reasons. It's a precious memory involving you guys. And well..." They took another breath. "Life in Deep Sea isn't good, it's not awful, but not an ideal living place, especially when you're abandoned at a young age. All money went to surviving. Just to get the potion that let me come here I basically didn't eat for a couple months. And that mask was one of the few things I ever really got for myself, so I got attached."

The story made them all realize something new about the merfolk and the dragonfly faery ran over to hug them without any hesitation. The two quietly cried as they embraced. Green eyes were cast down, feeling bad for lying. After a while of mostly silence the shark excused themself, wanting to clean up the mess in the dorm's kitchen. Once out of earshot the brunette spoke again.

"I lied," Marsella explained, "I got a letter from Donar explaining that someone has the mask and that it was the reason that weird contest was started."

"Where is it?" The three spoke in near perfect unison.

"We'll need to get into Savanaclaw."
