CURRENT EVENT: none
facts on my Lightblox under the cut (PLEASE read them):
i'm gonna. assume this is a few days later
Right on time, Ghosdeeri arrives at the agreed upon meeting place with Lightblox's hand in their own.
-@roastedpumkin-library & @firefly-tears
＊ he dressed himself up a bit ! not ... entirely sure why he did so , but he knew that he wanted to present himself well. good impressions , no mess ups hopefully.
he stood at the entrance to ghosdeeri's library , tucking in his shirt a bit more to look more presentable , in his mind. he breathed in before knocking as politely as he could consider to be - taking a step back as he waited , awkwardly & nervously fidgeting with his gloves.
They open the doors, nodding when they see Ghostwalker and gently squeezing Lightblox's hand.
"You're ready to leave, Ghostwalker?"
＊ he nods in return , & in agreement / response to her question , swaying back & forth a bit as he stood there , cane in hand. he didnt need it - probably. just in case.
" i am , lead the way please. "
＊ he smiles a bit , eager yet a bit nervous - wings shifting as he pivoted out of the way slightly.
"Lightblox, dear, why don't you introduce yourself first if you feel comfortable enough for that."
She glanced back to the firefly, checking on her.
-@firefly-tears
[She stands there for a moment, quivering and— yep, you guessed it— on the verge of tears. Lightblox steps behind Ghosdeeri, not a single word coming out of the young inphernal’s mouth. One could say that she’s not too great with strangers! She… clearly just doesn’t trust Ghostwalker.]
@intertwineddamn
＊ he just waves , smiling softly with his wings folded behind his back. he atleast wasnt as scary as he was ... - but still. kinda hard to not be intimidating when you're the literal grim reaper of the inpherno.
he looks back to ghosdeeri for her input , his eyes glancing over at her a bit nervously. he didnt wanna mess this up. really.
@roastedpumkin-library
"That's okay, Lightblox- You don't have to if you don't want to. But, I promise you he's very nice once you get to know him."
They glanced back at Lightblox, gently squeezing her hand before returning their gaze to Ghostwalker.
"Let's get going, hm?"
@intertwineddamn
@firefly-tears
＊ 'once you get to know him' ... was he that awkward or unapproachable ?? gosh - he was anxious now. he needed to go check himself in the mirror again , clearly his first impression of his new vessel mightve been inaccurate -
he was grimacing a bit now , but tried to be presentable enough. he just quietly walked alongside the two , a bit too awkward in the moment to try & spark conversation. alas.
@firefly-tears , @roastedpumkin-library
They were quiet as well, speaking after a few blocks of walking.
"So- Ghostwalker, what work has you holed up in your office?"
@intertwineddamn
" not much work , just some physicals & check-ups for pre-phighting season ... ive honestly just been anxious about getting out like ... this. "
＊ he fidgets with his glove , brows furrowing as he looks down at the pavement.
" its a very different image for myself - not that i dont like change , im just ... paranoid. i feel very vulnerable like this. "
@firefly-tears , @roastedpumkin-library
"I'm sure you will be alright, Ghostwalker. You're quite strong. And even if you're still getting used to your new form, I'm here as well. For both of you. It will be alright."
They gently nudged Lightblox, as if saying "he's just as anxious as you are".
@firefly-tears , @intertwineddamn
[A quiet, shaky breath escapes her, and she stares at Ghostwalker with wariness in her gaze, but she’s no longer in danger of crying. For now. There’s.. several things Lightblox wants to say, but her voice continues to fail her as she walks in silence, finding comfort in holding her mentor’s hand.]
@intertwineddamn @roastedpumkin-library
＊ ghostwalker sighs , glancing at his shoes & at the pavement as he opens his mouth to speak - fidgeting with his gloves a bit.
" i ... thank you. its been an awful lot to adjust to - but im sure i will find a way to. thank you for your continuous support ... - truly. "
@roastedpumkin-library , @firefly-tears
"Of course. All I ask is that you simply visit more. A check in, every now and then. Catch me up."
They nodded. They would've been smiling if they were capable of it-
@intertwineddamn
" i will do my best. maybe i'll tell darkheart to remind me about it. "
＊ he chuckles , wings adjusting as he walks - folding out & folding back in. he smiles sheepishly at them - adjusting his glasses so they dont fall off his nose.
he stops soon enough out of awkwardness & embarrassment - gaze awkwardly averting both them & lightblox. he was so cute sometimes.
"Good. Thank you."
god what a freak..
They hummed out of habit, glancing back to Lightblox.
"Are you doing okay?"
-@firefly-tears
[The smaller inphernal flinches a bit at being spoken to directly. She pauses for a moment before nodding, though she’s still visibly on edge.]
I-I’m fine…
"Good. I want both of you comfortable, especially today."
Once again, they gently squeezed Lightblox's hand.
@intertwineddamn @firefly-tears
＊ he merely watched , nodding as his gaze averted to the two's hands. he smiled briefly & sweetly , but so awkwardly. he could be so cute sometimes.
he just followed along. where were they going ? he didnt know , he didnt care. he was happy as is.
[A chilly breeze sweeps through the air, a bit atypical for this kind of weather but nothing particularly notable. That is, until a blue inphernal dropped from the sky and landed on the ground in front of the three with a worrying crack, like they fucked up their bones or something.]
Ghostwalker—!
[Icedagger coughs, scrambling to get up. He has a nervous grin on his face, despite the dizzying amount of pain he’s in.]
This isn’t a bad time, right? I— oh gods, I’m interrupting something, aren’t I? Sorry..!
@intertwineddamn @roastedpumkin-library
＊ ghostwalker perks up , making an alarmed & surprised , bird-like noise- like a squawk of some sort. his wings flare out a bit , blocking the other two's view a bit from their sheer size.
he stammers , unsure if he should be truthful or not. he honestly feels a bit bad ... ghosdeeri & lightblox are definitely disappointed by this - but he can tell theres some sense of urgency behind this. well , icedagger never bothers to see him otherwise.
" i uhm ... yes ? but i can still assist you if you're injured. what is it ? "
＊ he steps forward , his wings folding back at his sides as his brows furrow with concern.
She pulled Lightblox much closer to her once she noticed the breeze and saw the first sliver of movement from the moth, almost immediately ready protective. Once they noticed it was only Icedagger, however, they relaxed slightly and glanced back at Lightblox.
[Surprisingly, the firefly demon doesn’t appear afraid. Or even startled. She lets go of Ghosdeeri’s hand and gently pushes right past Ghostwalker’s wing to step closer to the snow deity with widened eyes.]
…Icedagger?
i'm gonna. assume this is a few days later

@intertwineddamn
youre not gonna believe this… lightblox has a crush on that ice deity
"What-?"
Anon… Anon why would you tell him this…
[Her injuries are feeling less painful, but now there’s a new problem, and it’s frustrating the firefly inphernal to the point of tears. With some reluctance, Lightblox gently tugs on Ghosdeeri’s sleeve, trying to grab their attention.]
Ghosdeeri..?
-@firefly-tears
Ghosdeeri had been busy putting books back and re-organizing the slight mess she had made when Ghostwalker last disappeared when Lightblox grabbed their attention.
"Yes, Lightblox? Are your injuries bothering you once again-?"
Ghosdeeri looked down at her daughter apprentice, tilting their head as their hand paused mid re-shelve.
[The smaller demon fidgets with her fingers nervously as she shakes her head.]
N-No, it’s something else.
[Hesitation causes the words to lodge in her throat, but Lightblox forces them out. She needs to say something or it’ll never stop gnawing at her.]
Um. I-It’s about that god— Icedagger? I keep thinking about him…
"I suppose that makes sense, he did bring you here when badly injured. Speaking of which, I do need to find a way to thank him properly... But that comes later. Is there something strange that comes with thinking of him?"
Ghosdeeri puts the book in the shelf, crouching down to be more level with Lightblox.
Y-Yeah!! I think he cursed me!
[The accusation spills out from her abruptly, and tears form in her eyes.]
My heart feels— weird, l-like it’s fluttering.. and when I picture him in my mind, I feel.. warm..! He makes my mind all fuzzy…
[Truthfully, causing her body temperature to rise seems like the opposite of what a deity of snow and ice could do. But what other explanation is there???]
They paused, a little startled by the sudden accusation. Though when the dots connected, she reach forward and gently pat Lightblox on the head.
"I don't think that is a curse, Lightblox. As much as it feels it may be..."
They trailed off for a second, eyes drifting to the pile of books left where she had holed herself up before Icedagger showed up with Lightblox. Their gaze soon returned to the firefly, a slight sigh escaping them.
"It's something very difficult to explain, unfortunately."
[The headpat.. does make her feel a little better. Just a bit. Lightblox frowns, tilting her head to the side as she regarded her mentor with puzzlement, luminous tears gently floating near her face.]
W-What…? Is it worse? Am I sick???
[Nightmare possibilities flash through her thoughts, anxiety bubbling up inside the young inphernal.]
Ghosdeeri, am I dying??
"You are not dying, Lightblox. No physical harm will come to you because of what you're feeling."
They gently tugged Lightblox closer, offering her to lean against them.
"From what you're telling me, it seems like you have a crush on him."
[It’s quite funny how her overactive mind just suddenly came to a halt. Her face flushes red as she processes their words, disbelief slowly crawling into her thoughts.]
A— a crush? I…
[Lightblox fumbles for words, her body tense. She clings onto Ghosdeeri, her grip tighter than she meant it to be.]
N-No I don’t—! That’s—!! No way!!!
"It's alright to have a crush, Lightblox. I just don't recommend you act on it all too much. Admiration is fine-"
They put their arm around her shoulders, gently rubbing. In all honesty, they wanted to tell Lightblox about her own experience with a deity, though didn't want to skew her view of Ghostwalker.
[For once, the smaller inphernal doesn’t begin sobbing uncontrollably. She’s.. conflicted.]
I-I don’t admire him— right?
[Lightblox lets out a small sigh, somewhat embarrassed at herself.]
I’m sorry… m-maybe I do wanna see him again..? But he hasn’t even come back t-to see if I’m okay..
"He might be busy. That's alright. How about we give him a visit together to thank him, yeah?"
She pat her shoulder, tilting her head a bit with the question.
[Lightblox jolts a little, her heart racing at the very thought.]
V-Visit him? Do you.. know where he is..??
[Her voice gets higher with anxiety. The inphernal is clearly nervous, but— she’ll be fine! She’s definitely not going to start crying again!]
I— I mean— okay… sure.
"I'm sure we could find him."
[She nods, and lowers her head before very gently bonking Ghosdeeri with her horns in an almost playful manner.]
Thank you, mom. F-For always making me.. feel better.
"It's my duty to be there for you, Lightblox. I will always try my best. For you, Firefly."
She brought a hand up to gently pat her on the head, sighing softly.
[A rare smile blossoms on her face, and Lightblox suddenly pulls the other into a hug, wrapping her arms around them affectionately.]
Love you.
[Her injuries are feeling less painful, but now there’s a new problem, and it’s frustrating the firefly inphernal to the point of tears. With some reluctance, Lightblox gently tugs on Ghosdeeri’s sleeve, trying to grab their attention.]

They put their arm around her shoulders, gently rubbing. In all honesty, they wanted to tell Lightblox about her own experience with a deity, though didn't want to skew her view of Ghostwalker.
[For once, the smaller inphernal doesn’t begin sobbing uncontrollably. She’s.. conflicted.]
I-I don’t admire him— right?
[Lightblox lets out a small sigh, somewhat embarrassed at herself.]
I’m sorry… m-maybe I do wanna see him again..? But he hasn’t even come back t-to see if I’m okay..
"He might be busy. That's alright. How about we give him a visit together to thank him, yeah?"
She pat her shoulder, tilting her head a bit with the question.
[Lightblox jolts a little, her heart racing at the very thought.]
V-Visit him? Do you.. know where he is..??
[Her voice gets higher with anxiety. The inphernal is clearly nervous, but— she’ll be fine! She’s definitely not going to start crying again!]
I— I mean— okay… sure.
[Her injuries are feeling less painful, but now there’s a new problem, and it’s frustrating the firefly inphernal to the point of tears. With some reluctance, Lightblox gently tugs on Ghosdeeri’s sleeve, trying to grab their attention.]
Ghosdeeri..?
-@firefly-tears
Ghosdeeri had been busy putting books back and re-organizing the slight mess she had made when Ghostwalker last disappeared when Lightblox grabbed their attention.
"Yes, Lightblox? Are your injuries bothering you once again-?"
Ghosdeeri looked down at her daughter apprentice, tilting their head as their hand paused mid re-shelve.
[The smaller demon fidgets with her fingers nervously as she shakes her head.]
N-No, it’s something else.
[Hesitation causes the words to lodge in her throat, but Lightblox forces them out. She needs to say something or it’ll never stop gnawing at her.]
Um. I-It’s about that god— Icedagger? I keep thinking about him…
"I suppose that makes sense, he did bring you here when badly injured. Speaking of which, I do need to find a way to thank him properly... But that comes later. Is there something strange that comes with thinking of him?"
Ghosdeeri puts the book in the shelf, crouching down to be more level with Lightblox.
Y-Yeah!! I think he cursed me!
[The accusation spills out from her abruptly, and tears form in her eyes.]
My heart feels— weird, l-like it’s fluttering.. and when I picture him in my mind, I feel.. warm..! He makes my mind all fuzzy…
[Truthfully, causing her body temperature to rise seems like the opposite of what a deity of snow and ice could do. But what other explanation is there???]
They paused, a little startled by the sudden accusation. Though when the dots connected, she reach forward and gently pat Lightblox on the head.
"I don't think that is a curse, Lightblox. As much as it feels it may be..."
They trailed off for a second, eyes drifting to the pile of books left where she had holed herself up before Icedagger showed up with Lightblox. Their gaze soon returned to the firefly, a slight sigh escaping them.
"It's something very difficult to explain, unfortunately."
[The headpat.. does make her feel a little better. Just a bit. Lightblox frowns, tilting her head to the side as she regarded her mentor with puzzlement, luminous tears gently floating near her face.]
W-What…? Is it worse? Am I sick???
[Nightmare possibilities flash through her thoughts, anxiety bubbling up inside the young inphernal.]
Ghosdeeri, am I dying??
"You are not dying, Lightblox. No physical harm will come to you because of what you're feeling."
They gently tugged Lightblox closer, offering her to lean against them.
"From what you're telling me, it seems like you have a crush on him."
[It’s quite funny how her overactive mind just suddenly came to a halt. Her face flushes red as she processes their words, disbelief slowly crawling into her thoughts.]
A— a crush? I…
[Lightblox fumbles for words, her body tense. She clings onto Ghosdeeri, her grip tighter than she meant it to be.]
N-No I don’t—! That’s—!! No way!!!

beep beep!
A message! Wonder who it's from!
"Traffic, I need you to come down to the library the second you can, something bad happened to Lightblox. She needs both of us, she got hurt pretty bad. Please, whenever you can, come over."
- @roastedpumkin-library
"Shit-" -> The shop keeper pulled away from his post and grabbed his pack, hooking it around his shoulders and making his way towards the library. If Lightbox needed him, he'd come without a second thought. "Fuckin'- What the hell could've possibly happened?" -> He huffed as he walked, hunching over slightly to make the load he was carrying more bearable. "Deeri! Deeri, open 'em up!"
They came to the door quick, still holding Lightblox in her arms.
"There you are, Traffic- Icedagger dropped her off unconscious- She's awake now, but.."
They were still slightly shaking, obviously nervous.
@firefly-tears
"The hell even- Deeri, do we even know what happened to the poor girl? Who fuckin' did this to her?" -> Traffic was usually the kind of guy to keep a level head no matter the situation, but right now he was freaking out.
"Icedagger said she might have been attacked, but I'm not sure what happened any further. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, Lightblox."
They let out a quiet sigh, looking at Traffic and then down at the poor firefly.
"Whoever fuckin' did it will get my foot so far up their as-" -> He bit his tongue a little, letting out a small hiss through his teeth. Calm down, Traffic. Calm down. "You'd have to be a real idiot to attack a child."
"That's what I said, but- Let's focus on her for now, Yeah?"
She hummed slightly, bringing Traffic inside the Library.
[The firefly inphernal had been quiet until now, only staring at Traffic with a look of relief in her eyes. She’s mostly calmed down by now, thank gods.]
T-Thank you— I-I’m s-sorry for being a— a bother, I just—!
[She pauses to take a deep breath and wipe her tears with her sleeve.]
I t-thought.. I’d never see you again..
@traffic-light-dude
Hey, pumpkin-head lady! Hey!! Are you in there?
[A.. rather obnoxious voice can be heard outside the library. Icedagger grimaces a little as he struggles to hold an unconscious Lightblox in his aching arms. Even with her helmet and oxygen tank removed and laying on the ground next to him, the firefly-like inphernal is surprisingly heavy. Plus she’s practically the same size as him.]
-@here-comes-the-snow
"How rude, my name is Ghosde-"
She stopped in her tracks as they opened the door, freezing for a second before quickly taking Lightblox from Icedagger.
"Take her tank and helmet and follow me-"
You’re welcome. No need to thank me, I guess.
[Icedagger huffs, but does as he’s told, picking up the mentioned objects off the ground before following after Ghosdeeri.]
Before you ask, I don’t know what happened to her! I think maybe she got jumped and passed out from the fear or something.
"For what reason?! She's incredibly sweet, I don't see the reason behind hurting her- I-"
They huffed, adjusting her hold on the firefly. The worry was practically dripping from her voice. They brought Lightblox to a couch within the library, going to assess the damage done.
[Lightblox seems.. pretty roughed up, some nasty bruises here and there. But she’s breathing and clearly alive, so that’s good! Icedagger gently places the helmet and tank on the floor, thankful to rid the weight from his exhausted arms.]
Well— it’s just like you said, right? She’s sweet! And a child. I’m not surprised somebody thought she’d be an easy target.
[His wing flicks, and he glances over at Ghosdeeri with the faintest hint of confusion.]
Most inphernals are pretty violent by nature; I thought you knew that?
She huffed again, taking a quick glance at Icedagger before shifting around a bit. They got up after a few seconds, leaving and returning quickly with a first aid kit, tending to Lightblox's wounds. Her hands were shaking-
[Icedagger feels awkward. He’s not being told to leave yet, but he gets the feeling that he’s not supposed to stay this long. The moth deity takes a hesitant step back, before casting a glance at Lightblox’s unmoving figure.]
My advice? Don’t let her go outside alone again. Make Traffic go with her or something.
[He turns around and leaves, feeling like perhaps there was more he could’ve done. Should he have comforted Ghosdeeri or something? Honestly, he hadn’t even been sure of her emotional attachment to Lightblox until now.]
"She can't rely on us forever, but... For a while, yes- I'll... I'll call Traffic soon- Once I have her feeling alright. Thank you for bringing her here, I apologize for my behavior."
Ghosdeeri sighed, looking back at Icedagger. They would smile at the moth if they could-
[A tiny whimper escapes the firefly, and her eyes open just a little. She twitches, already beginning to tremble slightly.]
G.. Ghosdeeri..?
[Oh dear. She sounds as though she might burst into tears at any moment. Then again, that’s how she normally sounds.]
"Lightblox-!"
They were quick to look back to her, taking her hand and holding it gently.
"How are you feeling- Do you need me to do anything for you?"
[She sniffles, glad to have the reassuring weight of her mother’s mentor’s hand holding hers.]
Where’s Traffic?
[The younger inphernal’s voice is barely audible; it’s shaky, almost desperate.]
"He's not here right now, Lightblox. Do you want me to ask him to come over right now?"
She shuffled a little closer to the couch, having sat down on their knees, and gently ran her thumb over Lightblox's knuckles.
[A quiet sob escapes her before Lightblox completely breaks down in tears, flowing from her eyes and gently floating around her as small, glowing orbs.]
I’m s-sorry!! I-I want Traffic, I thought—
[She covers her mouth with her other hand, squeezing her eyes shut and trying to bite back whimpers.]
I t-thought I’d never— s-see either of you again..!
"Oh- Lightblox, dear- Do you mind if I pick you up? I'll dial Traffic right after."
She didn't like seeing Lightblox this, not at all.
[She shakes her head, curling up into a sobbing, shivering ball. Her wounds still hurt, the stinging pain only making her cry worse. What the hell happened to her?]
She gently picked her up, softly shushing her as they went to go find their phone, dialing Traffic while they held Lightblox close to their chest.
[The firefly clutches onto Ghosdeeri tightly, like she’s terrified of being seperated from them. Lightblox quiets down, the fear ebbing away as she begins to feel safer here.]
Thank you…
"Always, Firefly. I'm here whenever you need me, I promise."
Ghosdeeri rarely used that nickname, and her voice was soft.
[Lightblox blinks the bright tears away from her eyes, her grip on Ghosdeeri softening as she allows herself to relax.]
I love you, mom..
