From the abyss.

ultra-private scathach rp.

[dunscaiith]

plot wishlist.

1. master & servant in a holy grail war. i want a very involved plot involving someone, whoever, summoning scathach and their resulting adventures in a holy grail war.

2. scathach observes a grail war & interacts with participants.  it has always been my headcanon that scathach monitors holy grail wars that involve cu chulainn because that’s her number one student. maybe one time she gets seen, or lets herself be seen, etc etc, and tags along, either with cu or one of his opponents.

3. romance. gimme a ship or a dozen. romance is my favorite genre to write, i’m not ashamed to say it, so please do not be shy.

4. stranger stumbles upon dun scaith.  exactly how it sounds. someone finds their way to dun scaith who shouldn’t be there and encounters scathach in her natural habitat.

5. scathach alter.  she’s a big baddie and opens the gate to the otherworld to let all the demons and monsters out to ravage humanity. she needs allies or enemies. 

6. stranger in your land.  scathach lived for 3000 years and therefore likely lived through your servant’s time period. maybe she gets bored and leaves Dun Scaith to travel and comes across your Servant in their natural habitat. i love a good fish out of water story.

7. meeting her match.  either in a grail war or in chaldea or just out in the wild, scathach runs into someone who *gasp* might be able to kill her. they don’t, obviously, because if they did that’s the end of the plot, but... just imagine. either they’re kind about it if they’re a good guy, or they taunt her about it if they’re a bad guy, but i want it. this bitch needs her ego checked.

❝  i must have these abilities for a reason right?  ❞

❝  i don’t believe in that destiny bullshit.  but i do know i shouldn’t waste what i’ve been given.  ❞

❝  why does everyone expect me to be a hero just because i have some powers i didn’t ask for?  ❞

❝  they’re mine.  i get to decide what to do with them.  ❞

❝  i’m still a person!  they all look at me like i’m some intangible being who will save them.  i’m just one person.  ❞

❝  i can’t do this on my own.  i need help.  ❞

❝  i’m okay—  it just tires me out sometimes.  ❞

❝  get back!  i could hurt you.  ❞

❝  i could’ve killed you!  ❞

❝  i’m sorry…i didn’t mean for any of this to happen. ❞

❝  i was only trying to help.  ❞

❝  i tried to stay out of it but…you don’t understand what it’s like to have the ability to make things different.  it’s impossible to sit back and do nothing.  ❞

❝  i did nothing before and people died.  ❞

❝  please say something if you keep staring at me like i grew a second head i’m gonna throw up.  ❞

❝  i don’t know what or who i am without this.  ❞

❝  if i didn’t have my gifts,  no one would care about me.  ❞

❝  i’m not a hero.  i can just do things and sometimes i wish i couldn’t.  ❞

❝  i know to other people it’s like,  comic book type shit.  to me it’s just normal.  it’s like being able to smell and hear.  it’s just part of me and i just want other people to see it like that too.  ❞

the observer

❝  you have to stop,  you’re killing yourself!  ❞

❝  that’s enough.  ❞

❝  you’re only making things worse.  ❞

❝  you need to rest.  you’ve done more than enough.  ❞

❝  we can take it from here.  ❞

❝  you did good.  now you need to recuperate.   ❞

❝  i hate to ask…but we could really use your help.  ❞

❝  i don’t need your help.  i don’t want it—  not from someone like you.  ❞

❝  you almost got yourself killed.  ❞

❝  you were out of control.  you almost killed me.  ❞

❝  no one else can do what you do.  we need you.  i need you.  ❞

❝  you’re not the only one here with power.  it doesn’t always have to be you.  ❞

❝  it’s okay,  you don’t have to do this alone.  ❞

❝  no,  sit back down.  you need to rest.  ❞

❝  you pushed yourself too hard.  you passed out,  i thought you were dead.  ❞

❝  holy shit— that was amazing?!  ❞

❝  it must be an awful burden to bear such gifts.  ❞

❝  just because you can,  doesn’t mean it should have to be you.  ❞

❝  look—  i get it.  it’s a lot of responsibility and everyone always wants something from you.  but you have these gifts.  and we don’t.  and it’s real shitty to hear you complaining about it while the rest of us are powerless every time someone we love gets hurt.  ❞

❝  i’m not here to ask you for anything.  i just wanted to make sure you’re okay.  ❞

❝  you’re always trying to save everyone.  who takes care of you?  ❞

❝  i’m taking care of you because no one else does.  ❞

❝  you have to slow down and take care of yourself too.  if you run yourself into the ground then you’re not gonna be helping anyone.  ❞

❝  don’t be a fucking martyr.  the world can function without you for a day.  ❞

❝  stop showing off.  ❞

❝  that was really stupid of you.  but thanks for helping.  ❞

❝  i care about you.  not your abilities.  ❞

SCATHACH X ANNE BONNEY

[dunscaiith]

     “Stop, stop, STOP!”  ordered Scathach, suddenly using the heel of her foot to kick her student in the chest, standing over them in a flash to point her spear’s blade at their throat.  

     “What did I tell you our first day of training?” she said, jabbing the speartip at them. “Spears are puncture weapons. We do not slash.  We do not swing them around like imbeciles. You jab and move. If you are overwhelmed by your opponent and tempted to swing your spear at them to get them to back off, you’ve just opened up your entire body to attack because spears are too long to suddenly retract to defend yourself with the shaft.” 

     She pulled her spear back from their throat and held out a hand to help them up.

     “If I see you swing your spear wildly like that again, I will not kill you --- I will cut off your hands and send you home a failure. You will be the humiliation of your kingdom. You will be remembered as the fool Scathach thought unworthy to even join the dead. Understand?”

[dunscaiith]

     honestly, i’m really struggling right now. i’m in the middle of a military deployment, we’re working every day for 16 hours a day, and i recently had PTSD related panic attacks. i hyperventilated to the point of losing motor function. it was terrifying; i literally could not move my hands or fingers. that’s never happened to me before. i have an eating disorder where i just won’t eat because it feels like the only thing i can control and i don’t have the energy to cook or go get food. i wasn’t even supposed to be on this deployment, i was supposed to have done my last one before i transfer to somewhere peaceful, but because of things, i got extended and here i am. i am always stressed out, i am always exhausted. 

     there was a very specific trigger that happened a few nights ago that led to me nearly suffocating on the floor while someone from an unrelated unit had to come help me breathe. last year, we had a catastrophic once-in-a-career kind of emergency in flight and we all almost died; the only thing that kept us airborne was a certain piece of equipment. that piece of equipment is now removed from the plane, and they want us to fly without it. so i’m scared to fucking death of needing it and not having it. while i was on the floor on the verge of passing out, the officer who was supposed to reenlist me yesterday, who i really looked up to, messaged me to tell me that frankly i don’t understand how the plane works if i’m so afraid to fly without the piece of equipment. the next day, i had to meet with a roomful of higher ups who basically said i had to either get over it or go home. i was called “irrational” about a dozen times, even though what i’m specifically afraid of literally happened to me last year, and none of them were on the flight when it happened. i had a room full of five men tell me, at length, how i’m a piece of shit for refusing to do what they’re asking me to do, all the negative impacts of me refusing to do it, and not once in forty minutes did a single one of them ask me if i was okay even though i was shaking and crying to the point of being unable to speak.

     i talked to the chaplain today even though i had reservations about talking to the chaplain (i’m pagan, so like... idk, i worried about judgement). i told the unit i’m not going home and that i’ll figure it out. but i’m really not sure how. the thing is, manning is so low that there is literally no one to replace me. so i’m feeling insane pressure to stay even though i know it’s not going to be good for me. i told them i’ll stay, but i honestly don’t know how i’m going to fly. i won’t know if i can do it until i’m locked in the tube, and if i start hyperventilating at altitude, that’s going to be a problem.

     between the PTSD diagnosis, the recent PTSD panic attacks, the eating disorder, etc etc, i don’t even know if i’m going to pass my physical next month. i’ve been at this bullshit since march. i might end up being sent home anyway. i am beyond burned out. i’ve been burned out since May. 

     chaplain said i should exercise more, write more, and read more. so i’m going to try. but honestly, i just don’t want to fucking be here anymore. i’ve seen three whole crews arrive and depart in the time that i’ve been here. i’m still fucking here, and i don’t get to go home for a long time. so i’ve almost had it with this shit. i have worked myself to the point of being sick, worked through having strep throat because we can’t fly without me, and they still treat us like shit.

     She figured. He better pass his training first, though.

[dunscaiith]

miraruinada​:

Manu was not used to this type of directness. In fact, apart from a few moments in the past, he had absolutely no experience with this sort of thing. He lived the majority of his life only thinking through means of survival; this was the last thing on the mind when one’s stomach is empty. So to say he was unprepared with the little experience he had was an understatement.

“Teach, it’s–” He stammered slightly. It was clear how flustered he was, but his face remained admirably stoic. Should he play along? He was afraid of what would happen if he didn’t. She can’t hurt him, based on how this worked. She can’t hurt him, right?

“Teach… Bunny suit…” was all he could manage.

      Bunny suit? Oh, that old thing? Suddenly, the tension vanished --- at least for the Witch. Scathach gave a small laugh and removed her hand from his hair to snap her fingers. Her black bodysuit vanished, replaced with... the bunny suit.

     She stood up off his lap and rested a hand on her hip, tilting her head with a mirthful grin. Her bunny ears fell slightly to one side.  “This...? This silly outfit is what you think about?”

[dunscaiith]

     You’ll have to continue to exercise patience; work is still quite a lot right now. We work 14-16 hours a day and I’ve been at it since March. It’s just not conducive to RP at the moment, but I am hoping to come back in the next few days.

Send a ♡ if your muse has a crush on mine. @cantillat​ said: ♡ the Emiyas do this, because she is a strong powerful woman and they respect a queen

     Scathach approved.
