it was a split second - a glimpse caught in passing among the crowds. a glance at the profile of a woman crossing the opposite way after the lights went green. nothing untoward , except a gut feeling that she’d seen her somewhere before. instinct said to follow , to try to look upon that face once more. after a moment of anxious consideration , grace turned on her heels to give careful chase - catching up with the crossing crowd just before the lights went red again. / I feel like she might have seen sen’s face in a file or two in the past 🤔 and so she’s like hollup ain’t that the ‘’’dead lady’’’

the city always has its way of sneaking under her skin , too familiar to be entirely uncomfortable , but just enough to dissuade her from lingering too long. nigh an echo of days where she used to sit at the back of their family's sedan , her mother's voice a droning thing as sen received one order after another. there is no doubt about it , that for all the times she dwelled in shadows , that sen was an integral part of their family's company. her mother's pride , they called her , there was a time where the sheer notion of that would fill her with joy. now , there is only dread. a stillness derived from knowing reality is far from their conjectures. when kōgyoku's daughter died , she only lamented the heir she lost that day── the loss of an asset that's difficult to replace.   with sen's death came too many inconveniences , and a part of her is thrilled knowing that it threw the company off-kilter.

she reasons its sentimentality , this irrational urge that led her to follow the same path to her favorite places. the old record store across the bookstore─── the old florist with the sweetest smile that always took the time to ask her how she's doing──── she's sick with longing of things she never sought , nor ever indulged in. perhaps , just once , she thought she might see her mother's indifference shatter at the loss of her. in its stead , she walks away having less than she had before── but there is no leash this time , no orders , and that counts for something. it has to.

the lingering shadows , however , makes her newfound freedom difficult to enjoy. others knew to give her a wide breadth when they recognize her , or at least , a semblance of it until they got her cornered. this one though , with her nerves all frayed and on display , with skills too unrefined as she sought to tail her. well , she'd be lying if she said she wasn't intrigued on why a rookie is making an attempt to tag her. so she slows her pace , takes the longer path as she continues on , catches the pale strands of this stranger's hair in the reflection as she passes by a mirror. a part of her misses this , but they surmise that has more to do with their idleness these days. she hastens her pace and turns a corner , hand slipping inside her coat to find the hilt of a friend older than the shadows she clung to , just in case.

" my , you're in a rush. " the words slip when sen pivots on a heel to welcome @devoreve's impact , free hand placed gently on the other's shoulder to steady her. its easy to offer a placating smile , easier to pretend she has no idea that she's being followed. " are you alright ? " she asks , takes a good look at the woman following her and discretely slides her hand away from its grip on the knife. " you ought to be careful , dear. its the rush hour afterall. wouldn't want you to be swept away , no ? "

DEATHLESS.

the following prompts were taken from the novel deathless by catherynne m. valente, an american novelist & poet. the novel was loosely based on the tale of koschei the deathless, incorporating other elements of russian mythology, & setting it against the backdrop of the russian revolution. feel free to change the pronouns / prompts as you see fit, but be warned – below the cut, it’s quite long !

❛ the service of your body is not yours to give as you please. ❜

❛ you probably won’t survive. ❜

❛ go. run. don’t look behind you. ❜

❛ i have come for the girl in the window. ❜

❛ i will never be without information. ❜

❛ i will see him with his skin off before i fall in love. ❜

❛ if the world is divided into seeing & not seeing, i will always choose to see. ❜

❛ secrets are jealous things, permitting no fraternization. ❜

❛ no, it’s not like that, when magic comes. ❜

❛ magic does that. it wastes you away. once it grips you by the ear, the world gets quieter & quieter until you can hardly hear it at all. ❜

❛ the sight of it bruised my heart so that i cannot think about anything else. ❜

❛ i’ll be so quiet, i’ll never talk again. ❜

❛ keep me & obey me, for i am your husband, & i can destroy you. ❜

❛ i shall be clever, & i shall not let him go. ❜

❛ it is a new world, & we do not wish to be left behind. ❜

every  prod  and  squeeze  feels  as  if  there's  a  hand  in  her  chest  ,  caressing  her  very  heart  in  sync  with  the  way  it  beat  .  the  feeling  is  both  uncomfortable  and  soothing  at  the  same  time  ,  a  strange  sensation  but  one  that  came  with  the  relief  of  knowing  that  it  meant  senhime  was  doing  fine  .  it's  funny  ,  how  they  had  gotten  to  this  point  …  where  evelynn  was  rendered  happy  to  know  that  her  deep  sea  lover  was  thinking  about  her  .  still  ,  as  the  poking  became  more  incessant  ,  evelynn  found  herself  both  eager  to  rush  to  the  shore  and  mildly  irritated  ;  as  was  evident  by  the  slight  frown  sitting  ‘pon  her  brows  .  that  irritation  though  ,  seemed  to  disappear  almost  immediately  upon  her  gaze  meeting  senhime's  form  in  the  near  distance  .

“           what  do  you  want  ?          ”            the  words  fall  out  with  a  faux  groan  ,  a  relatively  playful  smile  taking  over  almost  immediately  afterwards  .  evelynn  approached  the  other  with  a  short  burst  of  speed  ,  reaching  out  to  quickly  lift  the  queen  into  her  arms  lest  she  risk  them  slipping  back  into  the  water  as  a  result  of  the  demoness'  jest  .               “            …  just  joking  ,  i  know  you're  here  because  you  simply  can't  get  enough  of  me  .            ”            spoken  with  a  smirk  ,  agony  leaned  over  to  press  a  surprisingly  gentle  kiss  ‘pon  the  other’s  cheek  .  it's  her  own  way  of  saying  ‘  i  missed  you  ’  ,  without  having  to  say  the  words  .  clear  affection  and  true  feelings  were  something  she  still  had  to  get  used  to  ,  but  every  visit  made  it  a  little  easier  .  eventually  ,  evelynn  loosed  senhime  from  her  arms  ,  helping  her  to  stand  whilst  a  lasher  gently  coiled  ‘round  the  other’s  tail  .               “            i  do  like  it  when  you're  less  serious  ,  it's  true  …  it  means  i  have  your  full  attention  ,  after  all  .            ”

" can't get enough of you ? " she echoes the words , a levity in her tone that sen deigns to conceal. too occupied with the arms winding around her waist and the kiss bestowed on her cheek to truly care , if only for the moment. evelynn's been gone for too long , and the fault isn't her's to bear. not when its sen who lives thousands of leagues under the sea and an entire ocean weighs over her shoulder akin to an immovable mantlepiece.

its frustrating , this distance── that sen finds it frustrating to the point of distraction is just as madenning , if not more. she's gone through centuries without this. decades of their shared past had agony as her enemy── surely , she could go back to the time when evelynn was merely a presence she sought in intervals. of course , sen knew better than that by now. they've shared one too many stories in lieu of blows amidst bloodshed to deny that evelynn is important to her. it would be a lie to say that she isn't , and she knows that the demonness knows this just as well.

" maybe── " she amends with a smile , strings of pearls clicking softly when her hair falls over a shoulder. they don't mind the presence curling over her tail, humming in amusement when she spares the sight a glance before their gaze shifts to the other's eyes. " but i'm not so sure , you tend to like testing my patience afterall. " its said with a knowing smile , arms falling over the other's shoulders as her head dips to kiss the corner of her lips. the gesture's worth stifling their own desire if only for the look @evelicious gives her in response.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎" i'm glad you do. " she admits , tail playfully swatting evelynn's leg before it slips out from her lasher's hold. disappearing from sight when a hand reaches for the other's own , " are you free today ? i called because i wanted to see you . i know i've been busy these months , i'm sorry. " they pause , eyes dipping to their hands , off-kilter for all but a few fleeting seconds at the novelty of this whole conversation. " but i'm here now. if you'd like── well , for whatever you'd like to do. "

[entides]

sen is used to being observed. its par of the course , the staring ; whispers coming shortly after the eyes dip elsewhere when she drags her attention to their gaze. a part of her enjoys it , if only so she can watch them squirm a little when the sovereign directs the full weight of her attention in observing them in return. a taste of their own medicine so to speak , even when her thoughts are far removed from the perpetrators and thousands of leagues under the sea.

this person is different however , peculiar than most they've come across on the surface thus far. if only because she holds their gaze and observes the merfolk twice as hard. its enough gall to sustain sen's attention , interest piqued at @alcohowl's approach. the glint of a bottle catches her eye before it flits to the other's mien , intrigued. " is there a problem ? " she prods , cadence all too measured despite her curiosity. sharp claws trace the rim of the shot glass on the bar's counter , tipping it just so as she waits. what , pray tell , could this stranger possibly want with her ?

' we’re doin’ mermaids now too ? … hell yeah. ' / silver mermaid fan so true actually

the answer , is just as anti-climactic as it is baffling. the latter remark prompting their brows to furrow , tiers curled to a frown as the fins of her tail furls closer to an ankle. " no , they are not. " she replies after a beat of silence , turning away from the hunter whose name she now recalls as silver. sen doesn't quite know what she's saying ' no ' to exactly─── they could ask of course , doing what to mermaids ? but she's not adept at handling this kind of attention. when she hears the shuffling of feet and the seat beside her promptly being taken , she spares her a glance. tongue clicking as she glares at her profile , " are you done ? i'm not interested in buying you a drink. "

how's your mom?

i don't think there's anything funny about good journalism.

why does he trust everyone?

i've sacrificed my own humanity to help get rid of it.

your obsession with me is getting a little creepy.

it's not too late for either of you.

this is what you do every time you're faced with conflict.

i'm sorry, friend.

any chance they're mistaken?

i'm not gonna say that. you know i'm not gonna say that.

i'll be there as soon as i can, okay?

aw, you look like shit.

where's the button?

he's gonna regret harming me for the rest of his life.

i can handle any question that comes my way.

i will admit that, i am scared.

they sent me here to kill people.

come on. my actions? i stopped a war.

rule without mercy.

hey, handsome.

people were going to die!

what are we gonna do?

you saved us so many times. now it's our turn.

this girl is obsessed with you?

i thought i told you to keep an eye on him.

we're so different.

if you keep interviewing yourself, eventually people are gonna figure it out.

i shouldn't have brought it up.

hey, man. i'm sorry. i didn't mean to bum you out.

ethically, these interviews are hugely problematic.

we need to find him.

hey! hey, no, no. stop!

i tried to stop him.

no need to thank us, as we will not appreciate it.

guards! guards! he's doing something!

i'm just in the middle of a big news day here.

we have to try. come on.

what did you mean when you said that you knew this would never work?

it's a big story. put it above the fold.

three months ago, we had our first date.

so we're gonna lock up all meta humans now?

we'll never make it in time.

why is nobody clapping?

it's been a minute.

we feed the canine, but he is unruly.

the alien is on its way back.

can't he hold his breath for over an hour?

i can tell you don't really think so.

i probably should have told you that a long time ago.

don't worry. tall, dark, and martian isn't my type.

what are you doing here?

how dare he throw a pencil at me?

how am i being dishonest?

i'm goddamn mr. terrific.

there's other parts of you that people would find very attractive.

that's the problem. i need to heal.

i've been trying to figure out a way to get it out of here alive.

yes, but you know that's very silly.

we have what we need. return to base.

i knew this would never work.

we have no clue what his actual goal was here.

i cherish it more than anything.

oh, my god! what is that?

well, what's particularly bad for business is dying.

should we really still be standing here?

i don't need your help.

way to bring it home!

this ain't playtime! quit messin' around!

i didn't do anything.

i think it's pretty obvious the goal was kicking superman's ass.

what did you mean by that?

what did you say?

take me home.

i think i'm doing a good job.

i won't be able to sustain the impact at this speed.

without solid proof of malicious intent, it's just not worth the risk.

your pride won't be making our choices today.

it would be difficult to find him.

even if he was dead, those trackers would still be there.

i just do what i can not to be splashed.

i'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that.

that is where you've always been wrong about me.

okay, i'd like to change the subject, if i could.

man, you are so weird.

don't talk to me.

i have no clue what you're talking about.

i put your parents' message on to soothe you.

you are only 83% restored to health. you must rest.

you seem upset.

your choices, your actions: that's what makes you who you are.

they won't fool everyone forever.

there were no casualties and no significant injuries.

i can recover the rest.

can we go on now?

who raised you as a child?

we'll need more than you when we enter.

we love you more than heaven.

you came to get me.

oh, my. i do apologize, but this is a restricted area.

we've done what we need to do. wrap it up.

you know what? it doesn't matter.

you have to say “off the record” beforehand, not after.

we must get to the bunker!

i am giving you one last chance to stop!

i don't get it. what's bad about that?

buckle up, we're going live.

no, you are not going to take credit for this.

come on, bro. don't be such a wuss.

okay, well, a lot of people love 'em.

you're just trying to get information out of me.

you love breakfast.

you are not punk rock.

she has to be the biggest idiot in the world.

we'll take my ride.

i put one foot in front of the other and i try to make the best choices i can.

oh, come on, man.

okay. i'm gonna do my job.

you gotta get outta here. it's not safe.

i'm as human as anyone.

it's not healthy, is it?

i'm not even sure how i feel. honestly.

now you're being dishonest.

what the hell, dude?

i party like a rock star, choir boy.

i was gonna break up with him, actually.

i've been very honest about that. from the beginning.

oh, here. i brought you a donut.

wait. can we talk..?

i'm sorry we fought.

i hope he rots in hell.

i'm punk rock.

hopefully, there's something on here.

i'm coming in on my own accord.

there's gotta be a better way to do this.

he's been studying him for years.

you have to promise me we get to hang this weekend.

you piece of shit alien!

i can help.

i told you i wasn't good at relationships.

i have a workaround for that as well.

what do you want me to do?

look, i didn't even want to bother you,

take a hike, barbie!

please see what you can find out.

this is all on the record.

i don't know how else to find him.

he'll be dead in minutes.

i screw up all the time.

i couldn't be more proud of you.

you were out there helping them?

hey, bro, what are you doing? stop that!

isn't that one of those justice guys?

is that really how you feel?

do you want me to take it apart and put it back together?

you want me to drive?

sorry about that. i'm so sorry.

you'd be terminated already if it was up to me.

it was very funny today.

he's out there alone and he's probably scared.

we have no consciousness whatsoever.

oh, that's really good.

it's what people on the internet are saying.

hey, buddy. eyes up here.

i cleaned your boots. i'll go get 'em for you.

it's just a working name.

go for its eyes!

i can't stop it. i need your help.

i didn't imagine that would go so quickly.

how's that a mystery?

your superman has abandoned you!

you know that one specifically irritates me!

you have the footage?

would you like a coffee or tea?

i'm not who i thought i was.

can you get in?

where is my dog?

this is what we came for.

darn it, i can be such a jerk sometimes.

i will not accept that. will you?

how are we supposed to know how we feel when we read this malarkey?

enough! you're, you're gonna get all of us in trouble!

good luck with that.

you think this is going well?

the rumors are true.

i swear to god, that's not it.

my point is, i question everything and everyone.

whoa! what do we got here?

i didn't make it up.

how long have they been hooking up?

who are you working with here on earth?

as far as we can ascertain, there's none left on the planet.

parents aren't for telling their children who they're supposed to be.

are you being serious right now?

it's an awfully small distraction.

i really don't understand why you stay in that relationship.

i don't read that stuff.

i know you won't kill me.

you couldn't be more obvious.

with a healthy dose of yellow sun, we'll have him up and at 'em in no time.

kill him! he's still weak!

i don't know what a pocket universe is.

i don't know how in the hell this thing hasn't been spotted.

we can't stand here much longer.

this is your last warning.

why are you being like this?

i have no family or nothing.

this is how sen talks about nightmare inducing creature from the depths no. 8237282 when she ( inevitably ) introduces them to her friends vs some random land animal she found and got curious about so now she's holding it with her bare hands and talking to it like its gnna answer back.

[entides]

i know sen's canon instruments in o/nmyoji idol are the bass and the guitar , but i also think she would have been taught the piano or the violin by private tutors growing up. regardless of sen's desires , she never approached things in halves and always strived for perfection. something her mother had drilled into her at a very young age , and it follows her even after she's already cut ties with her family and pursued her own dreams separate from her "responsibilities" as heir. the setting for o/nmyoji idol is v .... urban fantasy / cyberpunkesque .... so sen's still not human here ( nor are the other shikis in this au as well )

but i digress , the point is. music's always been very near to sen's heart , and its always been something she clung to whenever she felt like she needed a space to breathe. she liked her piano lessons , and she enjoys going to record stores between missions or when she sneaks out of their estate to flip through old vinyls and albums. when sen officially cut ties with her family name and left home , she only brought her guitar with her and some of the old records she loved. while this is more "modern" centred , music is an integral part of sen's life regardless of what verse.

sen's songs are second to none in the seas , and while she can use her songs to lure and kill , they never do. they don't see any reason why they should turn their songs into one of her many weapons. to sen , music has always been something that kept her company in the darkest parts of the ocean. sen would never judge her kin for what they do with their own songs ; but for sen specifically , her songs have always been about comfort and belonging─── & its a sentiment that translates often in her songs.

[entides]

" you are distracting me. " she makes an attempt to be stern , yet there is a fondness in her voice sen can't quite rid herself of. they had this conversation before , one too many times that its become useless bringing it up again. evelynn knows she only brings it up because sen is all too fond of their banter to stop any time soon. @evelicious makes no attempt at pointing it out today , and while they cannot feel as evelynn would everytime the sovereign might jostle and tap at the pendant that the demoness gifted her── sen knows all the same that she's grown weary of waiting for her to finish sorting through pearls and parchments. thus it does not surprise her when a manicured hand circles her wrist and pushes her work to the side. somehow , it always comes to this. the sovereign testing evelynn's patience as she sorts through missives. feigning dismay when her work is disturbed , only to find herself thoroughly distracted by her lover's weight on her lap , fingers sifting through the strings of pearls in her hair before it tugs.

don't try to think. be content to forget.

its a line evelynn's very fond of , something sen's heard before on days where the pain gets too unbearable that she sought the dark and its calming silence── naught but the king's old friend keeping them company. on most nights ( as its wont to always seem in the depths, ) its an epistolary ladened with too saccharine a taste that there would be no mistaking evelynn's intentions. today is closer to the latter it seems , " this is important. " the answering ' i am , ' that echoes her words warms their flesh when evelynn makes herself comfortable. heliodor gaze moored to her own as she watches a smirk slowly unfurl across her features.

its pointless dwelling on how far they've come. its been decades since either of them truly made an honest attempt at each other's lives. sen finds it disarming , how the thought of agony's demise would certainly find the seas in a state of unrest for years to come. at this point , its merely one of the few things her people know for certain── sen's poorly concealed affections , the absence of any attempts at hiding it.

" you are important to me. " she agrees , tiers curling to a smile as she winds her arms around the other's waist , head leaning to the other's touch as it treads through her hair. " stay here with me ? i still need to finish this one thing , and then , i promise you'll have all my attention after. " she watches a beautiful array of clashing emotions unfurl in the other's gaze , smirk falling if only subtly. the sovereign allows her no room to dwell on it any further when sen pulls her closer , stifling a laugh against the other's neck when she listens to her complain. " you made me wait last time , i'm sure you can do the same. i promise to make it worth your while. "

[entides]

actually , the way to sen's heart is v easy if u live on the surface. u just have to bring her to a high quality sushi restaurant. bonus points if its one with the conveyor belt.

[entides]

late as hell but the concept of valentines day dont exist in the eternal seas. to their people , once theyve chosen someone to be with , everyday is valentines day actually ✋ to sen specifically , she doesnt really have time for that but sen tends to show her affection for people by giving them gifts or making some time for them despite her busy schedule. she has a preference for giving handmade gifts to people who are dear to her ( her sister , yao b.ikuni , etc. ) sen's not big on physical affection but she compensates for it by making time for the people she cares for and showering them in gifts made by her. in contrast , sen's very verbal about their feelings once they've recognized someone as important to her.
