Big big fan of the tonal discrepancy that's happened here because they actually included Rey there on the website too.

[em-dualism]

Ur still one of my favorite blogs of all time :3

//Aaah??? ;; This was a surprise to see in my inbox logging back in here....

//Thank you anon....... I'm glad I was able to bring you joy with these funny boys!! Let it be known that they're still as strongly in my brain as ever! (Especially with the Starforce collection actually being a thing!!!! insane!!!!) I've just been finding the ability to concentrate on rp... difficult. In general, but here especially. Been a lot going on dragging my focus all over the place, not the fault of anyone here! I really love the character interactions I've had with everyone!!

//I'll say this blog's probably gonna be on permanent semi-hiatus. I don't expect my activity here to ever go back to what it was.

//However, if the people I have threads going with currently still want to continue them, I would be willing to!

sprite goofing again. enjoy a Pat who's been displaced into another game.

"Half," Alex confirms with a slightly more confident nod this time around. "...well it's not one-fourth werewolf." That much is certain, from the sound of it. Nice to see that Pat wasn't too easily perturbed, that little magic trick isn't always a crowd pleaser.

There's a raised eyebrow from the human half, as the boy continues. "Science?" It's repeated somewhat rhetorically, but Alexander cracks a smile. "Depending on who you ask, they're the same thing." Mostly, give or take some little nuances.

"Wait so-- does that make you... what? Human?" Apparently the notion hadn't occurred to the pair at all. This whole time he'd just been comfortable with the strange form his new companion had, no questions asked. "Huh... so... you need to transform to sneak around then?" That did explain why he hadn't noticed the kid initially.

"Well, whoever you're avoiding, they're missing out on good company." This kid seems nothing it not honest and friendly. "Can't imagine getting on your bad side."

[em-dualism]

"Maybe that's true. It feels like magic sometimes." Pat chuckled a bit.

He still hesitates in speaking, like he's not sure how much he should be saying. "...Yeah. Human. Right now I'm... made of EM waves. I don't need to do it, but..." But what? Why did he feel so compelled to keep doing this? There were a few reasons, but none of them felt right to say. He approaches a bunch of flowers and carefully slides a finger of his 'regular' hand across the petals.

"There's people that want to keep their eyes on 'EM humans'," he added, his tone betraying his distaste. Something flashed in his eyes, a tense feeling he was trying to ignore. "I can avoid them easier like this. I was worried for a sec you guys were something like that..."

Desperate to not make things about himself, he continued quickly, "But since you're not, I'm kinda curious. Are you two, like...?" What was the right word for this? "...Bonded, somehow?"

You got a visit from Welch Vineyard.

"Another year, another boop from the Birthday Girl! Boop!"

"Oop--..!

Ah, you've brought it back, haha. Not that I'm complaining, I liked that event. It's weird there doesn't seem to be much going on this year..."

It felt strange for him to be included in something on-the-spot like this. Not a bad strange, though. People seemed to like him and maybe that was something he could accept.

"Oh, right, happy birthday!"

[mmxstrangers]

✏️ ohhh I would love to see you draw Pat if you'd like! (he can be either regular or Gemini Spark flavored)

One Pat, comin’ up :D

( Still doing these! )

[pansyfemme]

*guy who is very clearly going through. something* oh yknow. just a little tired haha

[mmxstrangers]

Scylla gently puzzled over his words, but nodded in understanding and smiled. She didn't want to pry too much into his personal issues if he didn't want to go there just yet. The mysterious girl replied soothingly, "It can be hard to separate those feelings. I hope you can find some peace about it soon. Maybe you should talk to them about it, clear the air if you can..."

Pat's outburst made Scylla lean back in surprise, opening her eyes wide before seeing who was approaching them.

Mezzo tilted his head and stared for a moment before realizing what the boy was asking to do. With a toothy smile, the large Reploid nodded. Issi was already butting his head into Pat and Rey's hand. The dog's metal felt warm and smooth, likely heated up by the gentle light Issi was giving off. Issi's ears wiggled as he chimed again.

"You're a good boy, Issi," Scylla cooed as she leaned over to scratch her finger under the walking lightbulb's jaw. In the meantime, Mezzo took his seat, letting Issi lay down besides Pat. The dog's tail delightedly brushed the grass at the attention.

The sun's rays died out, dark blue settling in the sky while the first stars started peeking out overhead. While fascinated with watching Pat and Scylla pet his dog for a while, Mezzo's attention shifted to the sky. There weren't any meteors yet, but this was the time of day he always looked forward to.

"... Pretty," Mezzo stated succinctly after a brief silence.

Scylla looked up for a moment and smiled. "Right. The meteors should be coming soon. Issi, could you turn off your light please?"

Issi's light dimmed and turned off, though he seemed keen to lean onto Pat. For the moment, they could admire the glittering dots illuminating the sky while their eyes adjusted to the darkness.

[em-dualism]

Scylla's words sat in his mind for a moment, even after he'd had his moment of excitement. Pat did always find it hard to address those things that lingered in the back of his thoughts... but she was right. Maybe after this, when he went back home...

For now, though, he should feel and experience the here and now. The warmth of the wolf-like robot surprised him as he gently petted his head. The grass was comfortable once they'd all found their positions. He'd continue running his hand down Issi's back.

"Yeah, it is, right?" A soft chuckle from him. "My friend back home... knows a lot about space. He'd probably be able to name all those constellations." Another small hitch in his voice- why did that keep happening, was he really getting that emotional?- but he did sound truly at peace right now.

"Ah, I heard you like flowers too," he spoke as he looked briefly back to Mezzo. It was hard not to want to keep getting a look at him even though he should be watching the sky... it was a design for a robot that he'd never fathomed before, much moreso than Scylla's. "Kind of hard to look at night though. But you guys can probably see pretty well in the dark, yeah?"

[romanceyourdemons]

i love when a character has something terrible happen to them and as a result they see themself as, essentially if not literally, a ghost. and so that means they only can (and have to) do what ghosts do, ie get revenge and then cease to exist. easy as that. but then halfway through this ghost vengeance they realize hey actually i might still be a human person. with human needs. that’s incredibly inconvenient, considering how much i’ve invested in this whole ghost thing

[grammars-doodles]

Didn't know what to draw this year so I gave Rey a switch. he's catching every bug in new horizons or something

[overx]

Alex blinks, more than a little surprised by that answer. He'd expected some grace from Pat, but the rest of what the boy said had an undercurrent of a sort. He half debates asking, but... it's not my business, right?

"I appreciate it. I promise I'll put it to good use." Wouldn't want to disappoint his new friend.

"Oh! That. It's sort of uh..." he looks to his other half, thoughtful about how to answer. That's a can of worms all its own. The canine sits up, as if prepared to help be of some demonstration. "Well, there's the complicated answer, and then there's just. Magic?" Unhelpful, he knows. "I'm ah-- well. I guess it's half werewolf?" Two bodies, one full werewolf? Yeah, that sounds right. Kind of. Both appear to make a slight face at the sketchy math. "It takes some skill to change on command like that. Lots of stimuli can trigger a transformation, but learning to do it when you want takes practice. I started with trying to change specific body parts. Like, just the eyes? Or teeth?" He gestures to the canine, whose muzzle twitches a bit before revealing some uncanny human teeth where wolf fangs had been prior.

"Caaaan't say I recommend it though."

[em-dualism]

His head tilted a bit. "'Half' werewolf...?" Looked pretty full werewolf to him. Though there was something that had felt strange to Pat... maybe less strange to him than to others, perhaps. These two figures had been picking up where the other left off quite a bit.

"Oh, no, uh... I understand not going full explanation. Magic is fine." His eyes widened briefly at the show of transforming ability from the werewolf. "Cool...." he spoke quietly. It took a lot to offput this kid.

"This- well, I mean, I-" He looks down at himself, his armored form flickering a bit as it held itself in visible frequency. They'd been honest to him, so... "This is a transformation too, actually. I'd call it, ah... something more like science than magic? I don't go around watering the flowers like this, is what I mean. It's an easy way to... be alone, haha." His eye contact drifted for just a moment, looking over the patches of hydrangeas.

authority figure  ( derogatory ) 

[overx]

"Eavesdropping?" There's a warm laugh from the human, the werewolf offering a chortle of his own in the mix. "No need to apologize, I would have done the same thing!" There's an enthusiastic nod of agreement from the large canine, ears flopping a bit with the motion. "Only natural to be curious-- and protective. Both things to admire if anything. Sorry for alarming you," Alex rubs the back of his neck, a sympathetic wince replacing that his earlier jovialness. "It uh, hadn't really occurred to me to ask permission. That's my bad."

Xander's attempts to make himself less threatening seem to be returning questionable results. Time for plan B; flopping ungracefully down in the grass like an overgrown puppy. An action which doesn't even draw an ounce of attention from the human member of the duo.

"I don't suppose I can make it up to you somehow? The last thing I want to do is cause any damage here."

[em-dualism]

Pat had never been one for expressing thoughts outwardly very well. That 'questionable result' was, to him, more akin to raw curiosity now. The transformation had startled him, sure, but that had quickly worn off. It was... kind of cool, honestly.

His own 'twin' would probably love to see this right now... no, nope, he's not going to think about him right now.

"Haha... it's okay, really. You can keep what you already have." A small smile from the strange-looking boy. "There's not much I could ask of you even if I wanted to anyway. I don't have... much going on." He'd sounded like he was purposefully inching around that topic. That was... one way of wording his situation. "...Could you tell me how you do that, maybe? I've never seen anyone transform like that."

Hello, boys! Having fun with the local fisherman?

Oh, lots. You should've seen the look on his face! I don't think that guy'll be coming back here again. Totally worth having to untangle this stupid hook outta our hair....

"...Not the way I would've liked to handle it, but there wasn't really a choice."

Free hat!

"Your priorities are on another level... well, now then, we... really need to start planning to get out of h-"

"H. Huh???" Good lord that must be a large bucket. "Um... thank you...?" This was all so overwhelming. After the fisherman thing, he was just going to duck down into the enclosed space and zone out for a little while until he was brought to a better environment. Once things were more humid, he'd hopefully feel better.
