[ About the author/artist ]
hi! im zappernewmoon, aka. newmoon, aka. znm. i'm a minor. he/it/any :) microphone ii still haunts me to this day, she simply won't leave my head. i may or may not like darkrai. i will not mention if that is important to this blog.
i am very bad at communicating with other people (especially those i am unfamiliar with), which often leads to me avoiding being the one to start any interaction. i apologize and will do my best to make up for any mistakes because of this (and in general)!
if you have any concerns or want to plan an interaction or the like with this blog, its DMs are (or at least should be) open! but if its just regular questions about the blog just save them for a munday :')
you can find a list of my other pokeask blogs (and by extension my ooc/munday archive blog) here! check it out if you'd like! i will say that the askblog askfinality1 does have its ties with this blog, but for spoilers' sake i won't say what those are. for spoilers' sake i will also not say if any other blogs also have a connection to this blog (outside of being in the same universe)
(@thelotuslava) Chrysaor@Griffin: the red Quilava looks at Griffin with interest, "Wow, you look neat! Kinda like the Decidueye from my home AND like the ones I've heard about from elsewhere. Is it possible to be a mix of the two? Do you know how you ended up looking like both of them?"
Griffin's body looked like it froze in place for a second, before it took a step back, away from Chrysaor.
"..."
Oh dear. This Quilava seemed to pose no threat - would it be good to answer them at all? Would that be worth it? Or would Griffin be better off running? Attacking should be the last resort...
The thoughts in their head were hard to line up into cohesive words and sentences. Faintly, one could've heard an ethereal sound akin to mumbling, muttering, whispering and all the like. None of them seemed comprehensible for the listener, though. Griffin looked as if they were staring off into space for a good while.
But they tried to force some words out.
"... Not. Not naturally. If it. Was like that. I would.
I would.
I would... be... ... ...
... and... I...
read... through...
through... ... ...
... ... ..."
... eventually, Griffin gave up on speaking. They glumly walked away from Chrysaor.
... Far off, you can see them shakily collapse on the ground.
hallo! im generally doing fine, but i have things to say!!
so, i've got a new blog! aand my current plans are that i'm gonna be putting most of my focus onto that blog for a while.
-and therefore, less focus will be put onto most other blogs and projects. the only other blog i'll probably be focusing on is iridiumsfinallament-ask, as its literally going to end in june.,, but after that, it's gonna be a ton of the new blog and not much for all the others. i will try to do something on the other blogs on occasion, but like.. wont be all that much.
anyway go check out and maybe send an ask to themostunfortunatehopes-semiask !!! :) it's going to be.. a bit ambitious, i guess. im quite excited to see it progress lol..
(as long as i can progress it enough to show the one who mourns i'm happy)
"A Decidueye of both past and present... now how did you manage that?" the tired looking Smeargle pondered aloud as they got uncomfortably close before backing up. "You don't have to answer that.. a better question is how do you plan to be able to get into that laptop when it eventually dies? Or have you managed to befriend a Rotom?" they ask with a tilt of their head.
Griffin, seeing the Smeargle come so close and ask that question, had to fight muscle memory's urges to simply kick it away. But to attack creatures you have not even an ounce of knowledge on isn't a smart choice; so they simply waited, and breathed out a sigh of relief once the Smeargle backed away. They didn't dare give any response to that initial question, for their own sake.
The new question was much less concerning.
"The laptop isn't showing the battery percentage on the startup screen, like it normally would. That means I don't know how long I have until it possibly dies out, so I'd have to constantly assume I don't have much time." Griffin opens the laptop again, and starts typing things on it - things you can't quite see - whilst continuing. "That's only if it actually even needs one in a place like... this." You can hear a tinge of disgust when they said that, which is fair. "Places have endless possibilities, and I don't know which possibilities are constants in this specific place. Maybe laptops don't need battery here, who knows. It'd certainly make my task easier."
"But, if it does die... I don't know what else I'd do," they admitted, "Simple as that. Maybe I'll look around for something else that could help me."
Thank you to everyone who picked out characters for me to draw! Also, sorry to any human characters who may look scuffed, I used them as human drawing practice.
Also also, you can see I shaded the first three before immediately getting tired and dropping it. Apologies again.
(i was planning on making a little griffin doodle for this, but griffin is kinda hard to draw sometimes huhuhu... their ref is here tho! -znm)
Griffin has been given the wonderful (and unfortunately temporary) privilege of speech, and in absence of their friends, would like to find other people to talk to! If anyone knows anyone willing to lend their ears to this "little" bird, please do let them know by replying here!
(hihihi, my beloved little owl has gotten a nice lot of eyes on them! though, i still need more beings to reach their vague appendages towards them and continue to push them forward... which basically means [Asks for Griffin are just as welcome!] -znm)
ah, and i forgot to mention: asks will come from @zappernewmoon ! :)
Griffin gazed down silently at Keldeo. "... You're strong. Too strong, maybe..." Unfortunate memories flickered in their mind, making them concerned about if the one in front of them had gone through the same. They tilted their head. "Mythical... How long have you lived for? How long did you train for...?"
*Keldeo clenched their teeth and shuffled a bit at the Deciueye’s words. It seems like they had hit a bit of a sore subject for them.*
Keldeo: I’d appreciate if you kept any speculation about my worthiness as a legendary to yourself.
*However, upon looking into this young Pokémon’s eyes, they saw something…familiar. An emotion that they had felt once before. Keldeo took a deep breath to calm themselves. Their expression softened as they studied the young one.*
Keldeo: My apologies… it seems that you were not making that comment out of malice.
As for your question, I am roughly 300 years old. I had been raised by the Swords since I was nearly a year old, and trained since I was around five. However, I didn’t begin my transition into a legendary until I was a teenager.
Would you believe that I am still a mere young adult when compared to other legendaries?
Dawn, in complete honesty, found herself enjoying these little questions. She thought she wouldn't be asked all too many - and yet, between her and Dr. Kasla, she'd been the one getting most of the questions. Not that Kasla seemed to mind, but she still felt a bit guilty to take the spotlight away from her so often. After all, Dr. Kasla was much more important to this mission than Dawn herself really should be. She's the one who actually dedicated so much of her life to space, shouldn't she be the one getting all the questions? Maybe the multiverse really is this unpredictable...
All of a sudden, Dr. Kasla took a deep sigh of relief. "Ahaha, thank Zekrom..." She mumbled.
"Huh?" Dawn tilted her head as she faced Kasla, continuing, "Is something wrong, Dr. Kasla...?"
Oh dear, did Dawn do something to upset her? Make her feel discomfort? The unpleasant ideas raced through her head as she waited for Kasla's response.
"Oh, no, no, quite the opposite, actually...!" Kasla chuckled. "I'm simply glad that... certain things... weren't mentioned to me, is all," she said. Her voice clearly had an underlying negativity to it, but what specifically it was, Dawn couldn't tell.
... Dawn did know that there was some sort of "incident" of sorts that happened a long while ago, which Kasla was affected by. At least, that's what Commander Vinehearth told her. He didn't seem to want to say anything else about it. If it still seemed to weigh her down even now, then...
Maybe the concern became apparent on Dawn's face, but Dr. Kasla took notice of it. "Hm? Dr. Bluebells, you shouldn't concern yourself with such details," she said, "at least, right now, they don't concern you." She sounded noticeably stern with her words; it was almost like a warning of sorts.
"Oh, uh, alright then!" Dawn sharply turned away, hiding her face. This side of Kasla's wasn't something she was used to. It wasn't "normal." She didn't know how to feel about that. Is it really because of this whole calling thing? But, no...
Maybe she should just listen to her words - she shouldn't concern herself with this...
"Oh? The two of you alone in a room together?"
"Wh- Huh!?"
Standing at the door, Xanthiell Sterre had somehow entered without a noise to alarm either Dawn or Kasla. Though, in fairness, they are the one who made the doors so silent. Maybe it was to scare her crewmates like this.
"Ah, greetings, Ms. Sterre!" Kasla immediately piped up. "Would you like to join us here?"
Still recovering from the jumpscare, Dawn was luckily able to string together a cohesive response based off of Kasla's words. "Yes, uh, Hoopa's ring had activated, so we were entertaining it before you had shown up!"
"I see, I see..." Sterre put a hand to her chin as she walked inside, closing the door behind her. "Here I was, worried the two of you were up to no good, hihihi~"
Before either of them could clarify what she meant, Sterre turned to Kasla, answering her request. "Well, I'd love to join the two of you here! How could I ever pass off an invitation from Dr. Victor Kasla herself, hm?" They chuckled, before turning to the ring. Victor and Dawn follow suit.
Xanthiell Sterre is now available for asks! :) (ask hints for them will be available after the first ask for them is answered :))
back before this whole.. weird dream world lets bird who cant speak use some weird form of telepathy thing... griffin used to wonder what they sounded like! their "inner voice" wasn't necessarily well-defined, it's kinda hard to describe - my point is that griffin didn't really know what their voice would be like...
and neither do i!
... kind of. i always thought griffin had an androgynous voice, and sounded pretty young. but like, those are given things you can infer from just looking at their profile. outside of that, i can't seem to describe their voice well. that's where looking for a voiceclaim would come in.. but. i'm. not good at that...
for the fun of it, i'm going to ask you all for a quick favor - send/show (preferably through askbox or comment/replies on this post) me a voiceclaim that you think could fit griffin's thoughts well! if i end up finding something that i believe fits griffin the best, i'll add it to their profile (+ credits to the person who found it!)
fun side note, i've been thinking about moving the character profiles to their own site pages, instead of having them be posts. hmmm.. i dunno. v(:P)v
i'll end this little thing when griffin goes unavailable for asks i guess. that'll happen in like a million years but whatever
