NICO NODDED HER HEAD IN UNDERSTANDING. IT MUST’VE BEEN OVERWHELMING FOR HIM. she, too, had the same issue when she first went to a candy store at the tender age of eleven, her brother and mother and father all looking around with her for the perfect thing that her brother had wanted. she ended up getting chocolate for herself, and her brother got a whole chest of candy, because he wanted it. she asked for a second chocolate bar at that point, and her mom and dad had said no, making her gut clench up and feel utter despair. so whenever she had the chance, she would go to the candy store to have the candies she wasn’t allowed to have when she was younger.

❝hmmmm.. you like watermelon and strawberries, right? you should get this!❞ she walked over to an area with flavored sugar, showing off the machine,  ❝if you get the candied sugar in this, you can get both of them as well as other flavors! but if that’s too sweet for you, nico recommends you get a packet of watermelon bubblegum and strawberry bubblegum, one each! or, there’s a bunch of ring pops!❞ she chattered on about the different selections easily, as if it were second nature.

[brxlliance-blog]

With Nico’s recommendations in mind, ocean-filled eyes examined the wide array of candy before him. Packs of bubblegum mixed with ring pops and a side of candied sugar? Just thinking about powdered flavored sugar seemed like a bad idea, though the vibrant colors and fun flavors dissipated any possibility of potential mishaps. The prospect of frozen yogurt deflated as items like gummy watermelons and sour strawberry belts enticed him further. Following the girl to the machine, he felt that the idea of getting both was a disaster waiting to happen. It was neither the price nor the type of sweets offered that concerned him; rather, the sheer number of options hindered his decision making process. While tempting, he was not too interested in going to the hospital to treat an excess of sweet compounds in his body.

Setting the yogurt cup aside, he looked to the girl, a mixed expression taking over his features. “Both sound interesting,” he said, briefly looking back at the row of candies confined to plastic containers. Picking up a nearby candy bag, he stared at the machine before slowly pulling the lever to the strawberry-flavored sugar. As he applied more pressure to the handle, he was met with a giant puff of salmon colored dust. Releasing the switch with a panicked motion, he noted the mass of fine powder collected at the bottom. Sighing, he turned to the girl, a sheepish expression upon his face. “Is it supposed to look like this?”

fishy situation // haruhi & armin

It wasn’t her intention to begin her trip with some sad story about her changing plans. She couldn’t ignore the look that appeared on his face. He shouldn’t have been feeling bad too. “That’s very kind of you, sir,” she said, the corner of her mouth shrugging into a small smile.”I appreciate it.”

She hoped that she wouldn’t get him in trouble, though. With her experience in customer service, it normally didn’t end well with giving one person more attention verses another. A small laugh sounded from her as she quickly covered her mouth. His first recommendation for the aquarium wasn’t what she had expected. The sudden suggestion had caught her off guard and reminded her of a person that she was quite familiar with.

“If only there was time for everything here,” she said, uncovering her mouth. “Otherwise I would probably do it.” She glanced at the map that he had pulled out, studying it for a moment. She gave him a smile. “Shark’s Cove sounds like a nice place to start,” she said.

She chose to ignore his pun. It was better to not draw attention to it. She wasn’t sure yet if it was going to be a good day to acknowledge any puns or jokes. But she would see. There would probably be more.

[brxlliance-blog]

If there was something that made his day at work, Armin considered visitors with an abundance of time to be his favorite. Patrons in this category --- through his experience, at least --- had more potential for learning about the creatures housed in the institution. The small sound from the girl surprised him; was it something he said? Slight silence between the two broke as a decision was made on the first exhibit of the tour. Smile intact, he placed the extra maps he had in his apron pocket, raring to go.

“Great, it’s right this way,” he said, motioning for the girl to follow. He realized that the image he projected might have been contradictory to what was expected of him. In his defense, the aquarium was in a lull of passing visitors for the day. If anything, he would most likely check on visitors in passing; workers were encouraged to guide tours, but at the same time, they also needed to check on those not in tours. “I almost forgot!” he paused, stopping right before the entrance to the main tank area. “My name is Armin. Please feel free to stop me if any questions arise.”

Passing through the doorway, he paced a few steps until he halted in front of a ring-shaped tank. Usig both hands, he gestured to the tank before them, taking a breath before speaking. “We’ve arrived! Welcome to Shark’s Cove, home to four different shark species and the roughtail stingray. The most popular attraction is the sand tiger shark, but many visitors enjoy the largetooth sawfish for its unnatural snout.” Looking over to the sharks, he studied the movements for a few seconds. He wished he could’ve watched them for hours on end. The sharks were not exactly his favorite, though they took a close second in how they could turn from calm denizens to fierce presidents. “My personal favorite is the largetooth. They look like sharks, but they are actually a variant of rays. Pretty cool, right?”

probably persona! I’ve always wanted to have a character within the fandom since, from what I’ve seen, persona fans are pretty chill. ever since I got into the series, I liked the concept and the stories behind each character; each installment has a unique set of characters that have their own personalities that are different from the other games. I think that’s pretty cool, and I would love to join persona rp one day…

I’d super pick all of you if I could because you all do a great job of portraying your characters. I enjoy reading all of your threads; seeing the different ideas played out by the variety of characters in the group is so refreshing to read. Honestly, just keep up the good work! You’re all fabulous and it’s amazing to read what you all are doing.

Send me a ♠ for me to describe a favorite rp I’ve been in.

rt aside, I liked the group called naru-bleach rp centre (now pendulum city) for maybe the first few months I was there (the group kinda soured because it got clique-ish and you could tell it got exclusive). but, this was a favorite of mine since two things happened: the first being this group made me serious about rp and the second reason is that I’ve had some amazing friends still with me today! this group is credited as a favorite not for being a good memory, but rather for the lasting effects it had on me.

Send me a ♡ for me to describe a character that I haven’t had a chance to rp but would like to.

I’ve always wanted to have a fire emblem muse, and it’s normally been a tie between ricken (fe:a) and subaki (fe:fates). however, I’d love to try out orochi because she’s got a complexity that doesn’t seem all that apparent. she can be mysterious as a fortune teller, though with people she trusts or has known for a great deal of time (kagerou), orochi turns into another person.

Send me a ♥ for me to describe a favorite rp ship of mine.

oh man, back in 2013, I used to rp marco from snk with a friend of mine (who is actually in the group right now!) played jean from snk at a group that’s now closed. it was basically an angsty mess since we played it so that there would be many, many missed signals. it went back and forth enough (but not too much!) to the point where there’d be dash commentary like “hurry uP ALREADY” or “this hurts my feelings.” let’s just say that they made it on to be a couple within the group, and marco was one of my more successful characters.

Send me a ☯ for me to describe an rp I’d create.

I’m assuming this is for a group, so I’ll presume that’s so??? anyway! I’d love to do a 1950s or 1960s style group but in a dystopian kind of way? (think bioshock). those two decades are my favorite time periods in history, and I think the distorted world or world in shambles kind of concept mixed in adds a story to the idea.

Send me a ☾ for me to talk about a fandom that I’d like to rp in but haven’t.

hmm… pokemon, probably! I know there are a ton of concept groups, though I haven’t come across many rolelayers playing actual characters (until the recent rush into rtrp). pokemon fandom was one of those where I’m wary because of the negative things I’ve heard, though because I haven’t played a character before, I don’t know 100 percent. however, with the growing cast with each generation of games, I’d love to see what types of interactions I’d get.

I got this one three times so I’ll talk about three different ones!

one of the fandoms I’d like to attempt to rp in would probably be kill la kill! I attempted to muse nonon before, but she fell through so I haven’t had the opportunity to have a character from that series before. I’ve recently thought about musing satsuki because I’ve always wanted to play a strong female character, though I don’t have too much time to muse her… I’m not too sure how klk fandom is since I rarely see klk roleplayers, though I believe they should be pretty cool! basically the moral of this story is that I’ve tried to rp in klk before but life happened so here I am!

sweet heat // nico & armin

[kiznaiverheadcase-blog]

nico walked over to the yogurt with him, not really knowing where to start, but wanting to explain things in an overwhelming amount of detail, because she loved the candy here so much. there was no way someone could go wrong with a combination, which was saying something, because there were lots of normal foods that no one would ever dream of using together. but candy? the possibilities were limitless, and that’s why nico loved it all the more.

‘ okay, so, first off, nico needs to know what you’re planning on getting here! ‘

[brxlliance-blog]

As he made his way down the row of flavors, he noticed a row of candy lined up in clear plastic containers. There mere sight was enough to rival a candy store; five different types of gummy worms, sour fruit gummies, name brand candy --- anything and everything was sorted before him. Armin was never huge fan of processed sweets, so he returned to the dispensers once more. He still needed to examine his options carefully, for while there was no such thing as a mistake, he didn’t want to create a monstrosity.

“I wish I knew,” he replied, stuck on what should be his first flavor. This was worse than the question of what he wanted to eat for dinner each night.  “I like fruits, though. Personally I like watermelon and strawberries! If that helps...”

[madamhatter-blog-deactivated202]

@brxlliance

  “I should take back what I said,” she presses her fingers to her lips, bowing her head slightly. The hatter, however, forces her hand onto Armin’s head and lowers him. Both had been kneeling behind a large crate in one of the numerous ports in the city of Bellevue. A simple trip to the store had warped her and an acquaintance to the shadier business of her corporation. She should’ve known better than to come outside without double-checking every “little bird” she had contact him.

   “Down, down,” the woman whispers the command harshly while reading the brushing of pebbles nearby. It’d been deathly quiet into the evening, besides the cries of gulls by the open oceans which led back to her home country. However, the distant shadow of a large figure passing in front of the crate walks across the warehouse wall behind them. As she covers her mouth and shuts her eyes, easing her breath, the woman glances at the blue-eyed male and lowers her head again. ‘I’m sorry it got to be like this.’

    Once the noise died down, the hatter fixes the top of the blond’s hairs. She, however, steels her expression and stares into his eyes, as she finally admits,

    “What is going on here isn’t definitely legal or humane to begin with. We need to leave, now. Follow me.”

     Despite her wish to embark on the order, how the situation unraveled was unfortunate for both parties. It all began with a trip through the early evening towards the convenience store, minding her business and keeping her arms crossed and prepared for any sort of tomfoolery that’d cross her path. A simple bump-in with the blond haired male turned to a a stream of apologies leaving her and seeking forgiveness. Then again, when you notice that someone had been following you for a while and the sound of the soles squeaking slowly and casually behind, tthe most common route was to run. 

    Miss Hatter sworn that “Fire Heart” hadn’t needed to contact her after all this time, and, hadn’t even called her with any propositions. Alas, if it was another of her games to come pluck her off the streets, that woman best be damned if she thinks Miss. Hatter would it happen! Unfortunately, with the need to run, her eyes settled back onto the potential innocent that could’ve gotten wrapped in the situation as an eye witness. 

     And that’s how it began, the moment she grabbed his shoulder and told him to “don’t look back, follow my lead.” While the chase began, the number of individuals after he grew to five, gender varying, it was only until they’ve gotten to the ports – a popular choice for the mob boss to recline – that the group dispersed, thinking that if they’re already this close, Fire Heart’s personnel would’ve taken them. 

[brxlliance-blog]

He was in deep water now.

As he dipped his head, he listened to the residual sounds of his current location. Sea bids --- seagulls if he had to guess --- and a boat horn at intervals of ten minutes filled the environment as he weaned his focus off his current predicament. He felt panicked, though heavy breaths and weary vision did not accompany his sensation of anxiety. There were many questioned he wanted to ask, but each opportunity had its own drawbacks. The tense atmosphere of the current situation led him to follow the woman’s commands, ducking under the guise of shadows at each signal. At that point, there were no ways out, leaving the blond at the mercy of whatever happened next. Why he got himself involved as beyond him.

The night went about just like any other: Armin was already comfortable in bed with a season of Chopped when he realized he had forgotten to borrow a book from the library. Normally he would’ve forgone the trip since prices were often too high for a small text. However, with an upcoming paper dependent on the work, he knew that procrastinating would only set him back. Checking the clock, he noted that it was already too late to seek the services of the library. By that point in time, the institution shut their doors for the day, leaving bookstores as his only option. The mere thought of having to spend made him uneasy, though his education was more important than fifteen dollars on a text he would most likely read again. He wanted to slap himself; how could he have been so forgetful?

Hasty actions led him out of the apartment and back onto the streets, where most of Bellevue’s night scenery was in full swing. Street lamps brightened the pavement, classical music coursed through the moderately dense streets and the stars overhead projected a magical feeling to the ambiance. The boy tried to convince himself that the evening had more to offer than chefs cooking with white chocolate golf balls and rainbow chard. His efforts were, for the most part, unsuccessful, which led him to check his device instead. Eyes peeled to the device, his sense of awareness lowered, taking the blond right into a passing figure on the street; he committed his second mistake of the evening.

Following a mess of apologies and making his way towards his destination, the woman from before stopped him again, only this time with a warning of not looking back. Being unhealthily curious, he wanted to look back; his only barrier was the grave tone used in the warning given to him. Listening to her directions, he assumed his obedience would only be needed until the two distanced themselves from whatever --- or whomever --- decided to follow them. Then, once they were at a safe distance, he would be able to return home, to return to the comfort of some poor soul using the monstrosity known as durian in a round.

As he followed her, the blond felt himself tire out once they reached what he presumed to be the Bellevue Docks.  The stench of seafood and sweat gave away their location. If he recalled, the docks were now far away from his home, which led him to believe that he was not about to enjoy his pressure cooking program any time soon. As some time passed, he decided to ask about their current situation. He was very unprepared for what went on, and, considering their current location, he had an uneasy feeling about just what kind of activities they were engaged in.

“What is going on here isn’t definitely legal or humane to begin with.”

Partaking in illegal activity was not what he envisioned for the evening, and it most certainly was not on any bucket list of his. As far as he was concerned, there was nothing about hiding behind crates at the port in the evening that screamed, “Hey, this is totally legal and 100 percent safe.” He felt nervous about the position he was in; how would he explain his involvement if he were to get caught? There was so much ahead for him, and having that potential blemish made him somewhat nauseous. If the worst case scenario ever arose, he would not be opposed to devising a strategy, albeit reluctantly.

“I don’t know what’s going on,” he began, hesitant to speak in the first place. As he continued to follow the woman’s movements, he took a moment to scan the area around him. There was no such thing as being too safe in an environment like the docks. “I wish I could understand more, though that would require lengthy explanations the current problem doesn’t permit.” He paused. “I apologise for prying... I’m just concerned like any other person involved in risky behavior would be.”
