CYCLEND: an independent multimuse featuring characters from the netflix series arcane: league of legends, including silco, jinx, viktor and more. all portrayals are based primarily off the show's lore, as i'm not familiar with the games, but i'm happy to interact with muses from the gameverse too!

HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyclend]

I HAVE BEEN AWAY ON HOLIDAY WITH FAMILY and now that i'm back. i'm sick, lmao. BUT EVEN SO........... i am alive!! def gonna try and do some writing and reply to messages too when i can, thank you all for your patience again <33

[cyclend]

"Why are you here...!?"

The first thing Silco does is snarl, wearing a face that's been twisted with emotion into something almost unrecognizable. Monstrous; full of rage - that's how he assumes he must look, because how could he feel anything other than fury at the sight of the man before him now?

And he's not entirely wrong. Anger is certainly one of the feelings that leaks into every corner of his expression, pressing into each line and crevice of his face and spreading outwards, obvious through his bared teeth and his wild glare. But it's not the whole picture, either... because alongside all of that anger, and even stronger than it, is fear. Somehow, Silco looks like he's been frozen in the spotlight; disarmed, all of the anxiety he's feeling laid bare in the shine of a single, unharmed eye.

Whether or not Vander will notice it, he can't say. He's not focused on that right now at all. All he can do is feel - that rush of bewilderment, fear and anger flooding his system, alongside the strongest sense that this situation is utterly wrong.

"You're not supposed to..." And then he blinks, comes back to himself, a spike of frustration hitting him at his own uncontrolled reaction. His next words are all he can think of in the moment to try and regain some control.

"Ha... Did you get tired of being a coward, then?"

SMALL STARTER CALL FOR VIKTOR OR SILCO.......... i am thinking about them today <333

[cyclend]

Orianna remembers Vander well.

It's a strange thing to say, about someone you've never met. She isn't sure, but she thinks that Vander might not have even set eyes on her before... but Orianna knows so much about him. Things she's heard from others, half-remembered dreams from before... The same event that allowed her to live is one that should've condemned him to death via necessity.

Yet here he is. Here she is, still. It's fine to be glad for that, right?

"I do not... mean to alarm you." Orianna speaks, with a gentle voice. Her expression looks so cold... yet that soft tone contrasts it, making her appear almost out of sync with herself - just a little uncanny.

"I know some of those who've see me have been... afraid, but... You're Vander, aren't you?"

@zaunite-hound ( starter for vander ! )

thinking about jinx-orianna-viktor trio potential today....... so like this post for a starter from any of them if you'd like??

[cyclend]

okay, so - update!!

i started new adhd medication a couple of days ago, since the old stuff wasn't helping & was making my pulse rate too high, and so far (though it has only been two days) it's really been helping! so i'm hoping that means it'll help me be more active on this blog going forwards??

no guarantees obviously, and i'm a little paranoid it might be placebo/an effect that fades away after a while, but we'll see how it goes! i've got a fair bit of jinx and viktor muse today so i'm going to try and be around, fingers crossed <3

[cyclend]

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SILCO LATELY................

[cyclend]

god, i really am overdue on a rewatch of arcane. might get that started tomorrow if i can???

[forgedofoaths]

She does nothing to hide her feelings regarding him, and Silco can respect that; he has never been a man who enjoyed those who hide the truth behind smiles and sweet words before they stabbed someone in the back. No, he'd far rather know what is coming.

"Ms. Kiramman, I assume," he replies respectfully because that is how he handles those who display such hatred. It disarms them at best; at worst, well, what harm is done in being respectful, polite? It is a skill he has honed from childhood, an attempt at proving himself to be more than a dirty little sump rat crawling out of the sewers.

"I do recall who you are. As for why you're here, I can speculate that it involves my darling problem child, Jinx..." And though she is his dearly beloved daughter, he knows full well that she is a problem.

Still, Silco chooses not to leash her. A terrible decision, he must admit more often than he'd like.

[cyclend]

Unfortunately, Caitlyn is unable to hide the click of her teeth as Jinx's name comes out of that criminal's mouth. She'd been hoping to take him by surprise about her involvement... maybe to see how he'd react, maybe to try and throw him off his game a little - but he seems to have everything calculated down to the last detail.

"Yeah, she's involved. That's one way to put it." she remarks, eyes never once leaving his. Honestly, she feels sick to her stomach, yet she knows this isn't the time. At least he remembers who she is... maybe that's a bad thing, if that means he sees her as a threat to keep track of, but it gives her some level of grim satisfaction nonetheless.

"She's been- acting weird. Weirder than usual." Which, granted, coming from Caitlyn, probably doesn't mean a thing - she barely knows the girl, after all. "And I don't know what's going on, but I'm betting you've got something to do with it." She'd been muttering his name, seeming torn up about something... distressed, in a way that somehow twisted Caitlyn up inside. Even compared to what she's seen from Jinx before, it just seemed... wrong... and she can only assume that that means dangerous, too.

"Did you know she's planning on turning herself in? To Stillwater." Which, frankly, Caitlyn doesn't believe for a second. There's got to be some bigger play at hand, though she isn't sure if Silco's involved - yet.

"Planning on taking the blame for your crimes, maybe?"

[cyclend]

Caitlyn wants to ball her hands into fists. The urge to break skin, be it hers or his, is strong, as is the urge to scream - but she holds back from doing any of those things. Instead, she stands tall and simply meets Silco's gaze, though it's obvious she's making no attempt to stop the resentment she feels from showing on her face.

"Silco." As she speaks, her tone is thick with hatred and the sound of too many things held back. This is a man she loathes more than anything. So much suffering, so much injustice can be traced back to him... as well as so many of the things that've gone wrong in Caitlyn's life personally.

But she can't lose control and risk everything that she's come here for. Silco may not carry the same hulking, heavy figure that many of the criminals of the undercity do, but that's only because he doesn't need to... since he knows he's dangerous enough without it.

"I never thought I'd be meeting you like this." Caitlyn says, emphasizing the final word and folding her arms across her chest. "Do you even remember who I am? Or know why I'm here at all?"

PROMPTS FROM CRITICAL ROLE: THE MIGHTY NEIN *  assorted dialogue from the campaign, adjust as necessary

yeah. the world does need an asshole.

you're not my type.

i don't normally speak with the dead on a first date, but we'll think about it.

are you secretly in love with me?

it's a chair. it's a standard chair.

i'm really really nice, but i don't always make the best decisions.

sleep well with your bad decisions.

that sounds like someone whose ass i would like to kick.

it's entirely off-putting how disarmingly charming you are. i genuinely do not know how to react. take that as a compliment.

is that a natural thing for you guys to just attack each other in moments of stress?

fucking seaweed wraps are the shit!

well, my social anxiety is getting the best of me. i'm taking a walk. goodbye.

i've never traveled with a bunch of people i thought would die in front of me.

tell you what. i start sweating real hard, i'll let you know, okay?

please. please help me.

the rule is that evil dies.

you need me more than i need you.

eventually, someday somebody will pray for a miracle, pray for something to save them to whatever gods are nearby, and that prayer will be answered because you'll show up.

you were not born with venom in your veins.

i'm asking you to open your heart to chaos.

nothing happens for a reason. it's absolute fucking chaos.

we have to keep them from being... dead.

have you ever had a blueberry cupcake?

i smell like a crayon.

can i get a hug?

i could be her beacon.

i think we have a job to finish.

i pick and choose my apologies.

it's better to have someone's word broken than to have no word at all.

i would rather you put your faith in me for something more important than my curiosity.

oh shit, are we a cult?

i heard you.

man, you make vulnerability look so easy.

there's a dick hidden somewhere in there.

you pick and choose your fights. me? best not to give in to a man i can crush with one hand.

it's still you though, right?

you don't get to talk anymore.

it's a regular fucking turtle.

i'm trying to be nice. this is as painful for me as it is for you. just give me five seconds.

you are blue.

i mean, i don't want to impose, but i'm bleeding profusely.

i did my best every town i went to and every town i left, no matter how they treated me, and a lot of them treated me with deep disrespect. i left every town better than i found it.

i'm always ready to make a damn fool of myself.

[someghoulnamedponi]

I finally got done with this yippeee 😭

[cyclend]

i really want to write here again but i have almost no replies/starters i owe atm......... i will get working on those for sure in a moment, but. maybe i should make a new promo??

[cyclend]

craving viktor + time travel threads again............. man........ i am so predictable but the desire is SO strong.

[cyclend]

i feel like a fic where silco and caitlyn were forced to work together would be a lot of fun. maybe with the help of a supernaturally enforced "bond" to stop them from killing each other, lol.........

i really want caitlyn and jinx stuff too, of course!! they're actually way more important to me haha, but i'm focusing on silco and caitlyn today because it's a more unusual dynamic. or maybe i could throw all three of them in together. for chaos.
