(Someone is following you.)

Hello and welcome to the In Stars And Time partners in crime au ask blog, otherwise know as "Partners In Crime: a prologue"! It's run by @floating-far-from-earth (mod cloud) and @princemonarchempress (mod bats). In it, through a combination of answered asks and story posts (memories), you will be able to see the way Siffrin and the one who will become King's relationship will develop.

(The ending has already been decided, but you don't mind, do you? After all, it's the journey that matters, not the end.)

Due to its nature, this blog will contain spoilers for the game In Stars And Time. Proceed with caution!

faq:

How old are these two during the ask blog?

Siffrin and King meet when they're both still pretty fresh adults, with Siffrin being around 19 and King being around 18!

How much of the story is planned?

We have an ending point, and we have a rough idea of the events that will happen on the way there, but as for the specifics, that's improv! This is an ask blog for a reason after all haha

When do you update?

Whenever we feel like drawing/answering asks, we don't have a set schedule!

story in chronological order (asks + memories)

(Scatter......? Why are they acting so shy now?)

(What in the stars......)

[askpartnersincrime]

(You got memory of voices!) Congratulations, Siffrin and their shadow can now think critically about your presence!

(Why didn't you question it before…?)

[askpartnersincrime]

Tall dude, whats your name?

(It hurts.)

[askpartnersincrime]

Siffrin have you considered a strange man following you from a distance is not good? Very bad actually? Maybe run?

(You think of a kid with no one to turn to.)

[askpartnersincrime]

Hhheyyy Siffrin! How are you doing? You know some self defense if need be right? Asking for no reason hahahaha! (Looking behind you)

(Honestly, it'd be weirder if you didn't. Anyone planning to travel needs to know how to deal with any sadnesses in the way, even if you usually just end up going around.)

(What a weird thing to ask!)

[askpartnersincrime]

Where are the two of you headed!

(You heard that Poteria has some very good plays, so you've been wanting to go see one in person.)

(Some of the plays you've seen in Vaugarde were originally Poterian actually! You remember hearing about changes in adaptation, so you're curious what it'd be like to see them performed in the place they were written.)

(Oh! That reminds you, you were going to see a play last town, weren't you-?)

(You... didn't end up going to it, did you.)

"..."

[askpartnersincrime]

Why are you blue

(What's "blue"???)

[askpartnersincrime]

Wait, grab? What happened?

(You...... Did not mention......)

(......What are you speaking to?)

[askpartnersincrime]

maybe it is like "king" like, you are hyping someone up? so you're like "yes, king!!!" maybe they were trying to be nice ;v;

(You were accidentally rude!!!)

[pillowspace]

pretty... wanted to draw...

[askpartnersincrime]

maybe it is like "king" like, you are hyping someone up? so you're like "yes, king!!!" maybe they were trying to be nice ;v;

(You were accidentally rude!!!)

[askpartnersincrime]

King, why don’t you just talk to them? He doesn’t bite.

(You didn't mean to grab them like that......)

[askpartnersincrime]

Why are you being followed?

(It doesn't matter anyways, you'll be alone again soon enough.)

[askpartnersincrime]

Do you have any idea on who that is?

(You know you asked him about this but you can't...!!!)

[askpartnersincrime]

Hey, Kingly One, do you do anything to make your hair look nice? Or does it just come like that?

(You forgot to brush your hair this morning...... and yesterday as well.)

(But...... Perhaps you are a hypocrite.)

[askpartnersincrime]

Do you ever get the feeling that someone's watching you...?

[askpartnersincrime]

When did they start following you?

(You're... pretty sure he wasn't there before the last town you visited? And you only set out again a few days ago.)

(So...)
