far from home

Hydaelyn has brought me far from home...but I must press on. [RP/ask Tumblr for Kai Makellares of the Sargatanas and Balmung worlds. Read 'Chara' for more info! OOC tag is outofhome, NSFW tag is notsafeforhome. Mun is corvidkai, tracks the tag displacedofhydaelyn ]

Hey guys! I’ll be streaming the two post-MSQ dungeons of Final Fantasy XIV’s Shadowbringers expansion tonight at about 7pm Mountain time! Might also see about tackling Eden! I’ll be joined by the wonderful Red, who is probably going to be laughing at my reactions, since I’m running these dungeons for the first time. Blind. As a tank.

Time to see if I can accurately guess the tankbusters. 8D

RP starters: Concern.

“It’s midnight, where the hell were you?!”

“Stop keeping your phone in silent, you got me worried!”

“Blood? Are you bleeding?”

“I don’t like the idea of you walking down the streets all alone.”

“I thought I would never see you again…”

“We should get you to hospital.”

“Where did all those bruises came from?”

“I have the right to be worried!”

“Have you been drinking? You look terrible.”

“Sleep at my place tonight.”

“I don’t feel safe letting you be alone when you’re in that shape.”

“Please talk to me about it.”

“Let me take care of you.”

“You need to rest now. Don’t move.”

“How many times have I told you to not go there?”

“You could’ve died, you know…”

“I don’t care if you don’t want my help, I’ll do it anyways.”

“You really need to stop drinking. I’m serious.”

“This time you got yourself into a hospital. I think that’s a sign.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“You need to stop doing stupid shit like that or you will get yourself killed.”

“I’m your friend, of course I care!”

“You know I’m always here for you, right?”

“You’re not okay.”

“I’m just trying to help you.”

“Let me clean your wounds…”

“Why did you do it? Tell me.”

“That looks cute on you.”

“Sorry I worked late today. Want to do something?”

“It’s a beautiful day. Want to have a picnic?”

“Want to marathon something on Netflix?”

“Care to dance?”

“That was a nice surprise. What’s the occasion?”

“You are so adorable!”

“There’s a festival this weekend. Want to check it out?”

“Does this look silly?”

“Let me help you with that.”

“Can we just stay in today?”

“I cleared my schedule to spend all day with you.”

“How did you like the flowers?”

“I feel like going to the beach.”

Chara-the-Amaurotine was an excitable soul who loved stories and history and games. She was especially fond of creating things that could essentially be considered ‘augmented reality’ or ‘virtual reality’, things that let the player[s] get into things and have fun. She looked up to the Convocation, even if she knew she wasn’t ever going to be the sort who caught their attention.

//Also, though I am not through ShB on this alt, I have finished it on another!

[displacedofhydaelyn]

//So...I plotted with Red and Kitty.

And we plotted amazing things.

Soon...

[displacedofhydaelyn]

//I’m going through and removing all mentions of a specific someone who long ago decided to cut me out of their life for no reason. This has been long coming, but I’d held out hope that maybe they’d accept my outreached hand and at least tell me what the fuck was going on. But after some of the things I’ve learned? No. Just...no.

"Well you got your arse handed to you. By both Omega and the healers, looks like."

“Really? I hadn’t noticed,” Nero grumbled, settling into his bedcovers and giving Chara a look that was both irritated and plaintive. “I don’t suppose you’ve word of when they may let me out of here? I know I”ll not be up for adventures any time soon but I’d rather not reach the point of climbing the walls.” Not that he was up to that, yet. The only reason he wasn’t whimpering into a pillow or throwing up again was because of the little vials of medicine regularly shoved at him, and he knew it.

“Afraid not.” She gave him a sympathetic smile. “I did bring you some entertainment, however! Got some little Allagan bits from Cartenau, and tools, of course, and a few things from the Hinterlands.” She hefted the sack containing it all onto the stand by his bed.

I’m too fucking grumpy to post this on my personal, so it’s going under a read more. But as a former JROTC student, DON’T FUCKING PIN THE IDIOCY OF ONE ASSHOLE ON AN ENTIRE PROGRAM. ESPECIALLY WITH FALSE INFORMATION.

Nero startled in surprise when he felt something jump into his lap, then relaxed once he realized it was something small and (very) fluffy. He set his drink and and absently patted the tiny fox’s head, then raised an eyebrow at Chara as she approached. 

“Did you lose something?” He asked with a smirk, still petting the fox. (He wasn’t sure why, except for the fact that she was soft, and soft was better than thinking about his headache or how much his eyes bothered him of late.) “It seems that your little friend here knows who can protect her. A smart girl, if you ask me.”

“You wouldn’t be protecting her if it was your buuz she’d eaten the last of.” Chara snorted and glared at the little kit before looking to Nero. “Normally I’d be more lenient, but she’s a stray anyways and quite capable of asking before just snatching.” The little kit just made an adorable noise and looked up at Nero with big sad black eyes. He would protect her, right? She was too cute and fluffy to hand over to the angry feline lady!

“HEY. GREYFACE. FUCK OFF. YOU WOULDN’T SAY THAT ABOUT CID, HM? Y’KNOW. SHORT-FOR-A-GARLEAN WHO HASN’T BEEN AN IMPERIAL FOR AT LEAST A DECADE AND A HALF? YOU WANNA BE A RACIST PIECE OF SHIT, COME HERE SO I CAN PUNCH YOU.”

“Now, now, if they want to showcase their idiocy, I’ve no problem indulging them - to a point.”

“And if they wanna, I can wanna punch them. And I can punch quite hard~.”

Nero is enjoying his snazzy new pair of sunglasses immensely. They look amazing, they help make light not quite so bright and painful when his headaches flare up, and they’re much more effective at hiding his ever-more-common squinting than ordinary spectacles would be.

Cid hasn’t noticed a thing about it, and for Nero that’s the best, given how… tense things are at the moment. 

They have enough to argue over already, there’s absolutely no way he’s bringing up something that will only cause even more trouble. He sips absently at the ale in front of him, not being particularly fond of alcohol but in need of something to unwind a little.

At least being in Ironworks uniform’s  giving him the peace of being left alone, despite being very obviously Garlean. He doesn’t particularly want to socialize right now, given he needs to think. Think, and plan, and  deal with the brewing headache that is making both more difficult than they need to be right now, thank you.

There is the small squeaking of a fox kit before a ball of fluff promptly dashed into Nero’s lap and tried to make itself look as small as possible; a rather impossible feat, given the size of its tail.

“Chinatsu, you little brat, get back here!” Chara wasn’t far behind the kit, looking more than a little vexed. And promptly stopped when she saw who the kit had run to. “Oh...uh...hey Nero. Shite. She’s not bothering you, is she? I wouldn’t put it past her, considering she’s already in trouble, but uh...”

Hello, I'm Kai! In the spring of 2013, my wife and I moved to Raleigh, NC to help my in-laws take care of my wife's grandmother, who had experienced a second stroke after having one just a year before. The plan was to move back to WA after they either no longer needed our help, or after she passe...

//So after being poked about this by a few people, I finally caved. Because I did the math and…yeah. We need help.

Hello, I’m Kai! In the spring of 2013, my wife and I moved to Raleigh, NC to help my in-laws take care of my wife’s grandmother, who had experienced a second stroke after having one just a year before. The plan was to move back to WA after they either no longer needed our help, or after she passed away. It’s now been a couple of years since my grandmother-in-law passed away, and we’re still not home. Moving cross country is an expensive endeavor; gas, the moving truck, having rent and bill money set aside while job hunting, deposits for a new place and utilities, groceries, etc. And honestly? Working full time, it would take us years to save up that kind of money. And we’re looking to go home in much less an amount of time. We miss the Puget Sound, we miss springs and summers that don’t try to kill us with heat and pollen, we miss the culture of the PNW. And I miss home. I grew up in the SeaTac area. I grew up riding the bus everywhere, walking downtown, reading everything I could at the Tacoma Public Libraries. So please…help us go home?

We also still need help with day-to-day stuff, so you’re also welcome to support us through Google Wallet [[email protected]] or through Square Cash. Any and all help we get either way is amazing and wonderful, and brings us a little closer to going home.
