—✕ █ ▌Ib always bore the TENDENCY of being a bit petulant, a lack of self preservation born from some moment in her past. Loghain remembers DIMLY a lack of family, a few stories coaxed out slowly over the span of many months, yet nothing assuredly definite, and as this girl doesn’t remember meeting him in this city long ago, he wonders if she isn’t … DIFFERENT this time.

❝With how GLOOMY you are, it will come back,❞ he says with a shrug, in ONE SHORT LEAP replacing the creature by sitting a few paces away from Ib. ❝Just BECAUSE something else is scarier doesn’t mean that little creature might not find your fingers delicious…❞

She’s definitely sulkier than usual, and he’d be DAMNED if he didn’t try to find out why.

[fallingpetcls]

His words made her face fall more, shoulders hunching forward as her face all but disappeared behind her bent legs. “Know that!” she snapped, glaring at Loghain before her eyes dropped back to staring at her feet. Of course she knew that just because something wasn’t as scary didn’t make it less dangerous, even if her attempts to pet the monster were counter intuitive to that knowledge.

“...Go away,” she said quietly. She wanted him to leave and she wanted him to stay. There were memories banging around in her head and actions she had to confess to and around him she always ended up saying what she felt. But if he knew what she’d done, he wouldn’t want anything to do with her.

—✕ █ ▌Almost does he seem like a CHILD all over again, as it is with leaps and bounds that he moves. Finally, the Warden has a grip on his abilities, and with it comes the sense of elation at having power; at being able to CHANGE someone.

Lips curl into a NOTICEABLE frown at the sight of a familiar girl, at first he feels a laugh resting too, ready to burst at the sight of a girl he once considered his own despite a lack of blood shared. It quickly slips away into something more SOMBER, a worried frown replacing his once joyous smile.

❝Oh no, Ib —- be CAREFUL, that monster is dangerous. Please, step away from it, okay?❞ She’s MOODY, he can tell, but his bones thrum with the realisation that this isn’t something to be taken lightly.

Ib looked up at the voice, frowning at the warning. She turned back to the monster, intending to touch it despite Loghain saying not to, but the tiny creature was already bounding away - frightened by the sudden voice and elation streaming off Loghain. Tiny shoulders dropped in disappointment.

She shot a glare at the man, legs going back up to her chest and arms wrapping around them. She was mad and frustrated and she didn’t quite know why but it didn’t matter. “...You scared it.”

“Wasn’t dangerous. ...The mannequins were scarier.” The last part was whispered, slipping from her lips before she could stop herself.

@aurochial

Ib had been watching the man from her perch on the bench, legs against her chest. She didn’t want to get involved but watching him, she wasn’t sure he’d survive much longer against the monsters if she didn’t. She wasn’t used to having powers, but she’d grown accustomed to dodging around monsters and it wasn’t hard to fire a beam from her hands. 

She fired a beam at one monster before standing up from the bench and moving closer to the man, dodging monsters as she went. “...Should run.”

@c4ptiveprincess

Ib reached out a hand to the ants, giggling as a few walked over her fingers. The trail of ants couldn’t talk like the ant in the Gallery had, but she still thought they were cute. And who knew, maybe they could talk and just didn’t want to.

“No!” Ib yelled, thrusting an arm out as a man stepped near the ants. “...Don’t step on them.”

[fallingpetcls]

;; And an event starter!

Ib is actually a dark magical girl. While she cares about a lot of people, she’s full of sadness after the deaths of Garry and Mary. Also uncapped for the time being. Under the cut is Ib’s outfit.

actuallymuffet:

Muffet wasn’t normally the one that had children running up to her (can you blame them? To an overactive imagination, she’s a walking nightmare), but she was delighted nevertheless. It was a sweet change of pace, about as sweet as the candy she was being offered.

“Oh, how lovely! Thank you, darling… but the cookie was a gift! You didn’t have to return the favour… but I appreciate it all the same~” She looked down at Ib with a smile. “I hope you’ve been good since then.”

“Want to!” Ib inched the candy closer to Muffet, determined to get the spider to accept the gift. When you got a gift, you gave them a gift back at some point. It only made sense in her mind to give Muffet the candy, even if it wasn’t much.

“...” She couldn’t say she’d been entirely good. She’d broken a vase in a store while trying to grab it (for her rose!), wasn’t following her bedtime, definitely wasn’t eating healthy, and a few people had gotten mad at her for staring. “...I’ve been trying.”

postumbrarex:

To say that Maxwell was startled by Ib’s appearance and attack was to say it was quite the understatement. A beam of dark energies cast by this red-eyed child, striking a monster that was sneaking up on with him such ferocity that it nearly caused the magician to stumble in surprise.

“Oops? Oops!?” Ib’s near emotionless way she simply remarked her attack only further unsettled the magician. Considering her attack, whatever power she wielded, it was not the same as what he had.

“Uh… what’s the matter, Ib? You’re looking at me quite a bit… is it my hair? Is it the rose there? All the redness I’ve got? You know, now that I think about it, I must be dressed up as red as your eyes are. But still… please don’t startle me like that, Ib. I don’t think I’m ready to have a heart attack.”

“...Oops,” Ib repeated. She shrugged, twirling her rose between her fingers. “Feel weird.” There was a weight on her shoulders she couldn’t rid herself of, a twisting in her stomach that made her feel sick. She wanted it to go away but it had only gotten worse as time passed, leading to her hiding herself on the roofs of buildings where she was less likely to be noticed.

“Everything... Why’re you wearing that?” She squinted at his outfit, tilting her head. Her outfit was weird but it sort of resembled her normal clothes, especially in color. His was super weird.

She looked down at her feet, fidgeting with her dress. “Sorry.” She hadn’t meant to scare him.

@promosis

“Woah...” Ib completely bypassed the alien as she ran to the small, rolling sphere. She crouched down next to it, hands pressing against its shell. “So cool.” It was like a pet, but made of metal and round!

“...What is it?”

;; i figured i should finally mention this but ib doesn’t have any memories of her previous times in citta. if your character had met her in the past they’re free to keep their memories and act as if she should recognize them, but she’ll have no idea who they are and be very freaked out.

@sadomiusochist

Ib was nine and despite being more mature in some aspects than her peers, she was still a child. And children liked jumping in puddles, which was exactly what she was doing.

Unfortunately, one particular jump didn’t just get her wet. She watched with horror as the water splashed over the older girl’s clothes. “...Sorry.”

[fallingpetcls]

amarlllo:

“Well, I’ll just have to do it, then! Don’t worry Little One.”

“...You wanna be my mom?”

“...Ok.”

[fallingpetcls]

@postumbrarex

“...” Ib blinked slowly as she looked at the man. What was he wearing? She knew she was bad at choosing clothes that looked good, given how many times her mom had to change her outfit so it matched or was normal, but she was fairly certain his outfit was weird. 

She watched from the edge of a roof, not intending to make her presence known. Then she saw the tiny monster trying to sneak up on him and even with the wait of her failures crushing her tiny shoulders she had to act. She dropped from the ledge, landing lightly on her feet thanks to whatever the scientists had done, and shot a beam at the monster. Unfortunately for her, dark magical beams didn’t have the same power as light ones when it came to defeating the monsters.

“...Oops.”

[fallingpetcls]

amarlllo:

“No! Children shouldn’t work! They should have adults take care of them!”

“But...”

“There aren’t... Any adults to care for me.”
