Prelude III [The war]

[burntogold]

fatestainlens :

Hours had passed since the chosen few had been called upon. Even more flew by after their arrival. Perhaps some felt anxious at the wait. Others would likely feel irritated and impatient. However, their patience would inevitably be rewarded. The sound of static fills their ears, not unlike that of a television. And as the static begins to clear, a familiar voice could be heard, speaking to them all in unison.

“Booyah!”

A satisfying feeling, to see ‘High Score’ appear on the screen. While it wasn’t exactly like the games she’d played on Remnant - way too unrealistic, for a start, and what did the teller mean by a Konami code? - it was entertaining. Maybe she’d just been hoping to lose track of time with stupid flashing lights for a while.

Entering initials into the screen, she’d pause at the feeling she was being watched. A boy - probably a bit older than her, actually - seemed to have glanced in her direction. Probably not just to play the game, too, which was fair enough, but she hadn’t been that loud. At least, not loud enough to be told off more than a couple of times.

“A picture lasts longer, you know. And doesn’t result in me asking what you’re looking at.”

What a strange group of people she’d found in this city; while huntresses were able to dress in whatever fashion they deemed appropriate, the variety paled in comparison to this place. While she wasn’t used to watching people, it was interesting to guess what their role was. Sunglasses would totally hide the fact she was staring at people right?

Given the fact the guy she’d been studying seemed to have noticed, she guessed not. She’d smile shamelessly - with all the talk of a war, it was fair enough to size up potential competition.

“You’re either really avant-garde, or you’re not worried about people looking at you. Ever wonder if you went a little overboard?”

Okay, she had to admit it; she really missed having a scroll. While this cube was pretty amazing, it just wasn’t what she was used to; still, she’d figure out what worked best. There was a lot of stuff on there that she hadn’t bothered with, and most likely wouldn’t for a while. Not when she’d found the way to change between the different functions, which was the cause of her just stopping in the middle of the street.

Surely, something this flashy would do something so basic. Not that she had the patience to flick through it for long, reaching out to poke the nearest person until she was sure they were paying attention.

“Hey! Do you know how to turn this into the cube with the things? You know, for helping you pay attention to what’s going on?”

[burntogold]

@ariesoftheheavenlyflock

Well, this definitely wasn’t Remnant; even if the handy voice hadn’t filled her in, it wouldn’t have been too hard to tell. She’d put aside the implications of being here for now. A new city, new people, new things to do... and a new partner, apparently.

As if that was ever going to go well.

Still, she should at least try and figure out what this whole deal meant for her before she actually had to do something. Maybe paying more attention would have been a good idea, but asking anyone who stood out would probably be just as effective.

“Hey, you. With the white hair. You’re new here, right?”

24, 26, 30

24 - you receive 60SSR without any reason, what do you spend it on?    

“Whatever I want to at the time? I don’t really know, I don’t think about those things. Drinks with umbrellas I guess?”

26: - is there anyone you’re really disappointed in?          

“There’s a lot of people I’m disappointed in. Myself mainly.” She’s not going to mention the other people she’s disappointed in, not when disappointed didn’t feel strong enough of a term.

30: when was the last time you talked to one of your best friends?

“... If Ruby counts, then before she left. Otherwise... it’s a lot longer. We haven’t talked in a long time.”

[burntogold]

How do you feel about fire?

It’s so hot right now It’s lit sorry did you mean my mixtape

“Fire and I have a pretty good time. I mean, I basically am on fire when I’m fighting something strong, right? I think it’s a fitting element for me, and it really makes my shots feel like they’re doing something. Plus you can use it to toast marshmallows!”

Fire is definitely her element, - it’s bright, it’s dangerous and everyone notices it.

[burntogold]

how do you feel about strawberry milk

“Isn’t really my thing, although I swear Ruby goes through gallons of the stuff. Or, used to I guess, I haven’t exactly seen her in a while.”

Her fault, really, that she hadn’t seen her sister in a while. Which naturally lead itself to other thoughts. Not anything worth dwelling on, but it definitely wasn’t something she wanted to consider for long

“I think I liked strawberry milk better before I thought about it.”

   ann knows that having blonde hair isn’t really a rare trait, but having been bullied for it for most of her teen years among the brown and black hair of japanese students, it’s a bit odd for her to see someone with golden locks. in fact, they almost look like pure gold and so well-kept; ann’s almost a bit jealous! her hair doesn’t curl so naturally and flawlessly than the other—is that genetics at work? though when she realizes she’s been staring for too long, she snaps out of her gaze and apologizes to the woman who probably thinks she’s a creep.

     ❛   whoa, sorry! i didn’t mean to stare. it’s just your hair is—uh, never mind. um, hey! you wouldn’t happen to know where those… saint something are, would you?   ❜

If there was one thing in particular she hated about this arm, it was that it meant even more people looked at her. Being the center of attention wasn’t a problem, but people staring at that was something she’d try to ignore. Had the other girl not spoken up, she probably would have had to react - what a relief that the reason she’d been standing there wasn’t the reason she’d been expecting. Saint something... she really should have paid more attention to the announcement, but when she’d heard dangerous she’d been out and trying to stop people from going mad. Not too successful in the endeavor, but it was worth a shot.

“Don’t worry about it” - Man, this girl switched topics quickly, didn’t she? - “Oh, those things? I haven’t found any, but I’m more worried about the crazy people getting them. Didn’t the box say they were dangerous?”

He lets out a breath, fully aware of the narrow margin by which he’d escaped with his life and dignity intact. But the relief is short-lived, soon turning too despair when his hand reaches out only to grab at air.

These are extremely dire straits. A man has gotta gotta have racked up some extreme bad karma to be so unlucky. Is there even any coming back from being backed into a corner like this?

“There’s no toilet paperrrrrrrrr!”

What’s with this shitty timing? It’s almost like the author’s doing this on purpose. Oi oi, this trick has to be way too cliche, right? Besides, the gorilla’s already used this one.

Grumbling in frustration, Gintoki digs through his pockets, turning up the odd sweet wrapper and bits of lint. There is no god, nothing that can save him now. And to make matters worse, there was no one nearby when he rushed in; only the mindless infected making stupid zombie sounds that echoed off the walls of the empty toilet.

That’s it. It’s over then. He’ll either have to wreck his Yukata or rot on the toilet for eternity. He’s about to bury his head in his hands, and then he catches a glimpse of it.

They’d called it command seals. Yang had to follow his orders if he used this right?

“Uh, test test. Oi, I don’t know if you can hear me, but bring me toilet paper now.”

What poor timing. She’d been trying to find these fragments, trying to keep them away from the crazy people - experience with Ruby and the cookie jar was truly invaluable - even if she wasn’t sure it was really worth it. Being caught in the middle of a group was definitely an inopportune time for a command to come through.

“You’ve got to be joking. Now’s really not a good time.”

Of course, complaining out loud wasn’t going to help much. A swing with her right - hopefully these people knew where the hospital was - would clear them enough to get to the cube, punching in her master’s number.

Great, now she had to juggle three things.

She wasn’t sure if he’d picked up, or if it would go to an answerphone, although it didn’t really matter. Seeing a convenience store that was probably on the way, she’d make her way towards it, cursing whatever had caused this to happen.

“You’re shitting me, right? You didn’t check--- ugh, whatever. Where are you?”

♕ White Queen — What makes you feel powerful?             

“I’m always feeling powerful. Kicking things ass is like, thirty percent of what I do. Just being a huntress, knowing that I can take almost anyone is a pretty good feeling.”

[burntogold]

♔ – White King — What is the biggest sacrifice you’ve made?, ♝ – Black Bishop — Negative traits?

♔ – White King — What is the biggest sacrifice you’ve made?,

“Does losing an arm count? Because... yeah.” A sacrifice of stupidity, perhaps - she had thought she would have been able to take that man - but even now she wouldn’t have done anything differently.

♝ – Black Bishop — Negative traits?   

“Iiis making everyone else around me look bad a negative trait? Because I can’t think of anything else.” Short temper, lack of patience, stubbornness, vanity... the list continues, but I’m not sure she considers anything but the first to be negative.

White Knight — How do you handle stress?    

{Also asked by @arquemie​ @kavachas​}

“Stress? I don’t feel that, you know? Sure, I worry about people, but I don’t get stressed. Just a little proactive. And worked up. But it’s not like I get stressed over it”  Trying to punch the shit out of whatever was making her stress is absolutely the best solution to such a complex problem. She tries very hard to deny being stressed; she’s got to be strong, and she doesn’t want to let other people worry about it. She’ll just conceal it, if it ever happened, and keep on keeping on.
