I’m lame. I decided to go through with moving blogs anyway.
After much thought, I’m definitely going to be moving to another blog for a clean restart. Clean tags, clearer organization, clean dash. Just– overall clean.
I hope to see some familiar faces over there! If not that’s okay too. This blog is now archived because I don’t have the heart to delete this blog after all the memories I’ve made.
I’ll be answering threads I owe replies to from over there.
someone knocks on gemi's door, but abruptly leaves after leaving a packaged box on the ground. a note on top reads: "may a beautiful woman like you have a beautiful day too! there's love to be found for you inside! i hope you've got a sweet tooth!" and, inside the box? red velvet bundt cakes, buttercream frosting, and maybe too many heart sprinkles that have spilled all over the box!
After having read the note, Gemiya folds it and securely places the piece of parchment into her pocket. Carefully does she carry the box and bring it inside, but not before kicking the door closed.
Placing the box on the table, she promptly lifts the lid of the box and her eyes widen in surprise at the sight of a few cakes carefully spread with frosting and perhaps more sprinkles than necessary on each cake.
The thought is much appreciated and with a smile growing on the young woman’s lips she lifts a single cake to them for a bite. A content hum escapes as she hurriedly looks for a napkin to wipe off the frosting hanging on the corner of her lip.
She’ll need a glass of milk!
lvnara:
As the words she so wished to hear finally escaped through the brunette’s parted lips, she let out a deep yet silent sign as if the heaviness left her body along with it. It was easy to note her anxiety that was eating her inside out–prior to hearing the answer–by one of the blonde’s hands that was tightly pressed to her chest. “Thank you. Let us be on our way then.”
Not wanting to outstay any longer than they needed, they immediately set out towards the nearest city. After all, they needed to pick the pace since the sky has already dyed a purple-ish color, slowly transitioning to crimson. Lunafreya would slow down for a minute or two due to her ankle still having not fully healed yet the pain wasn’t the utmost important thing to consider at the moment. She was certain that in the city she would receive the needed assitance thus as long as the pain is bearable she’ll continue to move on. Finally, they reached what seemed to be a tunnel leading directly to the city they were pursuing.
After exiting the tunnel, bright lights came into view signifying night time. Palm trees that decorated the steets made it seem as if the blonde stepped into a totally different climate zone. The clothing of the locals didn’t go unnoticed as well, nor did their activity as the city was bustling even during the night. There will always be time for sightseeing but for now they needed to accommodate themselves. The hotel that read “Leville” provided the women with everything they needed, including a shower that Lunafreya desperately sought, not to mention it’s been a few hours since they had anything inside their bellies.
Having attended to her needs, the Oracle slowly approached the female, her azure eyes lifting to meet the guard’s brown ones. “I suppose you migth already know about me, but even so I wish to deliver a proper introduction to you. I am Lunafreya of house Fleuret. It was an honor to meet you and be accompanied by you. Can I have the honor of receiving your name as well?” After their journey–if it can even be called like this–has finally come to an end, it’s as if a void opened in her heart. She couldn’t whisk away the thoughts that this might be the last time she’ll see the brunette alas, they had their different paths to walk. At least she will carry her name with her.
“Mm.” With a silent nod, the two agree that they should not waste a moment more and both head on their way to Lestallum. It was a rather grand city from what the brunette had read in her free time back home, so surely finding the right help for Lady Lunafreya would be no trouble at all.
And so the two make their way over to the city. The sun passed slowly overhead and down towards the west, but at least an hour before it completely ducked beneath the horizon they had made it halfway through the tunnel that lead to their destination. They were safe, that much was for certain and both Lunafreya and herself could relax for a spell while they found whatever the Oracle needed.
Lestallum certainly was a busy place, full of culture and friendly faces.
First stop, the Leville. Gemiya stayed by the Oracle’s side and swiftly guided her to the Leville, but it was mostly Gemiya merely accompanying Lunafreya. Perhaps whilst in the eyes of others, she found it better to walk tall to the hotel. After all, there was likely someone around who was bound to notice that the Oracle had made it to Lestallum.
It wasn’t too long before everything was taken care of. The accommodations, services and everything the Lady might need was at her fingertips. It likely wouldn’t be long until the Oracle would set out again on her path to Altissia and the thought saddened Gemiya, if only for a brief moment.
That is until the Lady spoke up.
“Of course my Lady. I am Gemiya Astraeus of... the Leonis, household. I work under Cor Leonis.” It was always slightly awkward introducing herself in such a manner, seeing as the last names never matched. It likely struck confusion to many, but she hoped it wouldn’t be so odd this time around. “It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance Lady Lunafreya. I... suppose you’ll be on your soon enough?”

darkprinceofjustice:
A brow raised. “Why?”
“A reason I think you’ll find out in due time. I promise you’ve nothing to worry about. Shouldn’t you be off now? Your friends are probably waiting.”
It’s not as if it was some big secret as to who she was. The brunette was simply doing her job after all and now that she had made sure this was the guy, he could go off on his own way.
dreamzanarkands:
“ definitely! ‘kinda glad I dont have to deal with that anymore… but hey, at least you’re never bored! ” a playful roll of the eyes was given at her warning, written off as the usual Gemi worrying.
“ yeah, yeah… it can’t be that bad. I made it through Spira okay, didnt I? ” he conveniently omits the fact he was accompanied by others for most of that journey–
With a shrug, Gemiya agreed with Tidus’s spoken sentiment. He was right, but she won’t voice that. Although it was a bit difficult sometimes, with having to worry about the life of another. Life and Death situations were never fun after all.
“Well... true but Spira didn’t have Magitek going after you every ten seconds.”
dreamzanarkands:
“ so it’s a secret… ? got it! don’t worry; I won’t tell anyone. uh– not that I have anything t’tell… ”
he still didn’t know who she was talking about, and had never even met the people she needed to hide it from, but, she obviously wanted discretion in this matter, and he wanted her to know she had his, even if he really thought it need not be hidden.
“If you want to look at it that way, sure. But uh... thank you I appreciate it.”
He was right though, he didn’t have anyone to tell. Except maybe Yuna, but that was kind of a given and Yuna was the type that seemed to respect the privacy of others even if she was trusted with such information. At least Tidus respected her decision and that was all she needed to keep smiling and going on with her chosen path.
“I... forgot Valentine’s is coming up. That certainly explains a lot of the tomfoolery lately.”
ethelucis:
“you made this?! that’s amazing!” he speaks in cheerful, curious tones as hands reach for the weapon, almost too unsure of what it could be, really. but there mere existence of it was enough to make him stare, almost like a child receiving a toy for the first time. a pause, an embarrassed tone lacing the words as cheeks are covered with red colour, head titled to the side: “how does that work?” // @astrayeus.
A hand immediately lifts up her lips in an attempts to hide the stifled laughter threatening to burst out from Sorey’s question. In seconds she restores her composure and proceeds to demonstrate and explain what this weapon she built was.
“Well... you pull the trigger and a deadly projectile is shot forth at full speed.” Unfortunately there was nothing around to demonstrate which- made explaining slightly more difficult. “Think of a Bow and Arrow but the arrow is faster, made of metal, small and of course the contraption it comes out of is more mechanized. And of course its easier to carry around.”
mechanicid:
“ Old ‘nough? Yer still a tiny spec of startdust in mah eyes, Ghemi. Don’t think yer ready for this adult world just yet! ”
Mirth flaking off his words as he spoke, he gave her a rare smile as he moves to stand in front of her. Giving her shoulder a gentle pat, he snorts as he realizes just how much she’s actually grown. Or rather, how short he seemed to be getting, given his poor posture. Hand moving over her forehead, a tiny flicker of his index finger meet her head,
“ Yeh—ya don’t need that darn samurai with ya twenty-four-seven! What ‘cha doin’ here anyways? Keepin’ an eye out on them hot spots today!? ” By hot-spots, he meant boys. Or rather unworthy bags of flesh that wouldn’t dare find their way into her world without so much as a hit from Cid’s hammer first.
A short appalled gasp makes it past her lips with an offended expression to match! As short and harsh as always, Cid never changed. Even if his physical body did, but she supposed something had to stay the same. Though that’s just what made Cid, Cid of course!
Gemiya quickly moves past the previous sentiment now that the subject went right Cor and how she didn’t need him around. At least there was something they could agree on! As for why she was here in the first place, there were a couple of reasons.
“Well... yes, but I also thought it was a good time to check up on Uncle Cid. That and see how Cindy’s doing but she seems busy with her work at the moment. Probably better not to disturb her.”
It’s been a long day without you, my friend. And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.
do you know what those around you are thinking? neither do i, but if you ask me, they must be thrilled to see that wonderful you. what a delight you are! have you been told recently the good tidings you bring with your presence? should you ever feel down, i promise you, you will find a shoulder to lean upon. you are recognized for who you are--the brightest star in the darkest night, a hope & comfort, and a marvel to be sure! sleep you well, my friend, and may your light endure. you are loved.
Thank you…
I read this quite a few times throughout the day and I still am, over and over. Thank you so much ;; I don’t even have enough words to fully express my gratitude, I wish I did, but I hope this is enough.
It’s a little overwhelming to get such a kind message, but in a good way. I hope you have a wonderful month kind anon. ;;
Tucks a sylleblossom in Gemiya's hair~!
Gemiya’s eyes drift upward toward the hand that so carefully seated the stem of Tenebrae’s flower between earthen locks. Small cool blue petals likely didn’t match well with the dark browns of the younger female’s hair, but Gemiya appreciated the gesture nevertheless. Gemiya would wear the blossom proudly! For it was placed there by the Princess of Tenebrae herself, who she was proud to call an older sister. Not by blood, but by choice.
And thank the gods that the feeling was mutual.
Her gaze soon drifted back down to meet the Oracle’s.
“Thank you, Luna. I’ll take good care of it.”

Taking the parfait and spoon, Sora eagerly dipped the utensil into the sugary treat. Without a moments hesitation he took a bite, allowing the flavor to overcome his taste-buds.
“It’s really good!” Sora chimed with the spoon still in his mouth. “Man, have I been missing out on parfaits,” He finally pulled the spoon out only to go for another scoop. “I dunno about balance, it’s just really tasty. M’kinda getting a bit more on the strawberry, but I also taste a lot of custard too… Might just be that I’m at the top layers, though.”
Watching Sora’s eyes brighten, brings a smile to the brunette’s face and she can’t help but be grateful that this much of Sora was still intact. Maybe... if she just ignored the gold eyes, at some point in the future she’d be able to see them as their usual blue. He was still Sora after all.
“Glad you like it! But maybe you just haven’t stopped for desserts that much is all. Would you... like to be the taste tester if I decide to make other kinds?”
technoheart:
“What’re you, like a travelling hero or something?” The boy snickered to himself, only to stop a moment later with the realization that–just maybe–his joking assumption might be accurate. People did occasional travel around lending aid to others, or so he had heard. Personally, he hadn’t met one yet.
One look at the sleeping beast, and Hiro was left shrugging. No point in not answering, now that his work was taking a nap, he had little better to do. “It’s a trick of the trade, actually. Garulas are heavy and their feet are wide and flat, see. Which makes ‘em perfect for working certain heat-hatin’ metals smooth.” By way of furthering his explanation, Hiro gestured to the slab of darkly colored metal lying beneath the beast’s slumbering form. Half of it was still badly warped, but where it had been stepped upon, the surface was relatively smooth.
“I lure one of these guys with sweet greens, back and forth until the metal’s how I want it. When you work with weird material, you gotta use weird techniques to make ‘em work.”
With a narrowing of eyes, Gemiya doesn’t even bother to entertain this part of the conversation. Especially since the boy clearly thought it was so amusing. Plus she’s more interested in what exactly was happening earlier.
The young woman’s eyes widened at the mention of metal working and her attention immediately shifts to the piece on the ground that still had a few uneven parts to it here and there. Gemiya intently listens to the boy’s explanation whilst she takes a few steps towards the metal. It’s definitely a creative way to go about it... she’ll admit.
“Why not just tame the beast altogether?” Gemiya had heard a story or two that these wildlife monsters... could potentially get along if raised in the right environment. “They’re not exactly Daemons, so I don’t think it’s impossible. I think you’d have to raise a baby Garula though and that... well... obtaining a baby Garula is already a big feet in and of itself. Hmmm.”
Seems the conversation completely shifted now.
‘ i’m always going to support you. without even a second thought, i’ll be there when you need me. i want what’s best for you. ’
WHAT’S best for him? Maybe she has a right about that. Ever since knowing the brunette who had became the most important friend ever since their first meeting with one another. A girl who was close to his age and both grew fond of one another; as if their paths to one another was destined to cross. His hands rested on his knees, silence only lingered between the two while lost in thought. Perhaps it was wise to go to Tenebrae and get the treatment that his father was talking about. From what the King had said it was only the place that would give him the best chances to do stuff prior to his incident that had happened only a few weeks ago. Hearing that the Queen of Tenebrae also had a daughter that was only four years older and thanks to Gemiya’s help; maybe he can form a bond with the Tenebraen Princess. ( ’ you always know what to say Gemi ‘ ) he thought to himself happily. But he kind of hoped that the brunette would have come along; to support him more along the way. Still, even if she wasn’t; deep down Noctis knew she would be there in spirit.
❝ その通りです。ありがとう、あなたは精神に立って私の真横になるでしょうを知っています。❞
( You’re right. Thank you, I know you’ll be there in spirit standing right beside me. )
Even if the worst was yet to come.
