all that glitters

Fortnite Rp Blog! Muses: Skye, Midas (as of now)

[ncsecondbest]

“I’m afraid the sunlight has come back.” ~glitteringagency

Emerald hues narrowed a little towards the man now with Shadow, alike her. However for other reasons.

“Afraid? Really? What’s so bad about the sunlight anyway? That it gives live to things?”

Her tone apparent that she’s annoyed in some sense but why wouldn’t she? She tried to stop the Device and now here they are with a wall of water around the island.

[ncsecondbest]

“And you’re going to point out that I failed?”

Or did she really fail? Things just seem... confusing right now. The fact that he’s in a black suit now instead of white. It doesn’t settle right with her. Glaring more as he stepped closer to her, causing her to take a step back.

Well he did point it out... in a way.

“You’re really going to ask me that? I have to deal with your mess!”

[glitteringagency]

Midas wouldn’t admit it, but he’s just as lost and directionless as he assumed the other might be. But he could be wrong.

“Yes, I am. We both failed. Didn’t we?”

He still couldn’t help but hold back a smirk, watching her step back,

“You really should be thanking me. I’ve made you indispensable to this... group.” He motioned to his darker outfit.

[ncsecondbest]

“Thanking you?!”

The mere idea disgusted her. She’d thank him over her dead body. Well now she really didn’t mean anything to Shadow. However Chaos Agent has perked an interest in her. Envoy is unsure why... though it could possibly be linked to why Midas is Shadow now.

“I highly doubt that... I’m just as useful doing what I did before, paperwork.”

[glitteringagency]

He frowned, clasping his hands behind his back. Midas takes another step toward her, slowly, less menacingly.

“You’re incredibly bright, Envoy. I highly doubt that all they have you for is doing paperwork... Why would Chaos have you doing simple paperwork, signing and filing? He has to know your skill set. Your past.”

He emphasized his last point. That’s what had brought him to Shadow. It was all in an interest to learn what Chaos wanted, and how he could come out on top of all this.

[glitteringagency]

" hey , can you just like. SHUT THE FUCK UP ?! " - Wolf... really doesnt like Midas.

Midas took a step back from Wolf, scowling, composure be damned.

“I’m sorry?! You’ve brought yourself into this situation!”

[gcnedark]

" Oh - but who turned on that FUCKING MACHINE ?! "

Wolf grabbed the handgun from his holster.

" YOU RUINED EVERYTHING ! AND YOU GOTTA FUCKING GO ! "

[glitteringagency]

Midas draws his own gun without hesitation, aiming it up at Wolf. An empty threat, given the safety was on. He’s still in a defensive stance, but he shakes his head at the other man.

“You can’t stay here either. You know that. Yes I turned it on, but nothing is ruined, why don’t you listen—“

[glitteringagency]

" hey , can you just like. SHUT THE FUCK UP ?! " - Wolf... really doesnt like Midas.

Midas took a step back from Wolf, scowling, composure be damned.

“I’m sorry?! You’ve brought yourself into this situation!”

[glitteringagency]

He simply rolled his eyes and crossed his arms . He didn’t think that he would be met with such a response,

“It’s another day. Another reminder. The sunlight returns as if it’s there to mock me. I hoped that the plan, after going sideways, would at least have ended me along with it, but now I’m stuck here,”

He sneered, referring to Shadow. Under better circumstances, he would still be in his leadership position at the Agency. But that was all lost now.

“But the storm is gone now. So we have to deal with the sunlight and the wave.”

[ncsecondbest]

“I doubt the storm is truly gone.”

Gesturing to the tidal wall. Since that alone can explain itself for her.

“You just made the storm worse than it was before.” The female argued, “You never had to use your idiotic device on it in the first place!”

Obviously Envoy has some strong feelings about the Device and that it was used. That’s why she joined Shadow in the first place.

[glitteringagency]

“I’m sorry, has the wave killed you? That isn’t the Storm. It- It can’t be,”

He huffed, still in denial that his work had all been for nothing. Even with the ‘storm’ gone, this new threat wasn’t under his control.

“Look, I know what you were doing,”

Midas took a step closer to her,

“I knew for some time and watched you go along with it and trying to stop it, but you’ve lost now. It happened, and the day is new. So what do you have to be upset about now?”

Mission Status

Wolf entered the small base again , Chaos looking up from his desk to nod his way before looking back down at the papers he had laid out in front of him.

" Sit down. "

The agent sat down in front of him , stealing a glance at what he was looking at. It was a layout of the agency , with small lines pointed towards entry points , exits , and landing sites for the choppers. That helipad wouldn't be enough for multiple choppers they'd be sending in.

" You wanna tell me what that is ? "

Wolf questioned , sticking a finger out to point at the layout. Twirling it a little. Which caused Chaos to simply look at him.

" You'll hear about it in a moment , patience. Now , how did the mission go ? "

He asked , putting down the pen he held and leaning back in his seat slightly to get ready to listen for any failures.

" We got Oro out. "

Okay , most important task , check ! But there were multiple others that needed to be checked off in order for it to be considered successful.

" Did any of the cameras or God forbid Skye see you ? "

That caused a frown to appear on Wolf's face , he hadn't thought of that. Not the best look for him.

" They did... Damnit , okay. "

It's nothing that he couldn't figure out to fix , he could easily rival Midas in terms of his intelligence and tactictian skills. He'd always have a backup plan.

" Any causalities ? "

" Two henchmen. "

As long as it wasn't a bloodbath , he could accept it. Okay , good but could improve is what he'd rate their mission.

" Alright , your next mission is gonna be a little more risky but , nothing you shouldn't be able to handle. "

Wolf nodded , inching his chair closer to Chaos to get a good look at everything on his desk , a brow raising at the picture of a child on his desk.

" Here is the entire Agency layout printed out , we're going to have to go in to get the Intel. The original plan was for you to keep going in with a mic but , you were compromised so they would shoot you on sight. "

He could probably lie his way out of it but , it wasn't worth risking his life because of his failed bullshitting attempt.

" So you're going to go in with another three to get the Intel and escape. We'll have a payload ready to deliver it. You'll have to protect it on the way back and keep Ghost off us. We'll send plenty of backup , make sure there are no survivors. "

Wolf didn't like the idea of no survivors but he understood it , then they'd know where their bases were and it would be a nightmare.

" You're going to be sent in with Renegade Shadow , X Lord and Lynx. "

Chaos told him , sliding over pictures of the other three agents for Wolf to look at. X looked like Rust Lord... Huh , funny.

" Got it. Anything else I need to know ? "

Wolf asked for the final time before standing up , placing his hands on the desk as the other looked up at him before waving his hand.

" No , now go rest , tommorow at two in the morning , you'll meet up with the others at the top of the hotel in Sweaty Sands. "

He nodded as he turned to leave , beginning to think over everything. Wondering if it was really a good idea to , y'know. Betray Ghost , but he was in far too deep to turn back.

He could live with that.

[glitteringagency]

// sorry for inactivity. Current state of the world sucks.

don’t forget to donate to local bail funds and if you protest stay safe.

acab. blm.

[gcnedark]

Wolf stood on the skids of one of the two choppers as they landed , two squads armed. Sent on a rescue mission to get Oro , the man Midas stole his golden powers from. Maybe he could help them out.

One chopper was going inside to keep the attention away from the cells , the others going outside to blow a hole in the wall in Oros cell , they would have to wipe out the henchmen outside as well. But that shouldn't be that hard.

When the chopper was close enough to the ground where they wouldn't break their legs landing , the agents jumped out , drawing their weapons and making their way to the cell , Wolf stood in the middle of the group.

" How do we know which cell he's in ? "

Wolf asked , pressing in on his earpiece to speak.

" We have the map of this place laid out , did you really think we're gonna be playing a guessing game here ? "

" That's a fair point. "

Wolf noted , as Chaos spoke again.

" The last cell up ahead , that's his cell. Vulture has some C4. "

He looked up at the group , looking at their pockets for the explosive or detonator , quickly spotting it in Vultures back pocket. No need for conversation.

" We're here. "

As Vulture said that the four could hear gunfire and shouts from the inside , looks like they got to work there...

He planted the explosives on the wall , everyone backing up in response to him taking out the detonator and pressing down. Blasting open to reveal Oro in his cell , drained of his power Maverick stepped forward.

" Oro , we're here to rescue you. "

At this point , after being stuck in there for that long he just followed them. A shout from Skye caused him to look back.

" DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE ! "

Wolf stepped forward , pointing at the chopper waiting for them all.

" Go - I'll keep these guys back ! "

" That's suicide you dumbass ! "

Redux shouted as the henchmen kicked down the cells door , too late to argue with Wolf now.

" Alright - let's go ! "

Maverick started running , which sent the others to begin running. Only hearing the gunfire behind them and the blades of the chopper spinning as they got on. Wolf running back as well , shit - shit - SHIT !

" GRAB ON ! "

Vulture screamed , holding his hand out as the chopper began to lift , Wolf leaping for it and grabbing his hand as they went up and sped away from The Shark. Bullets barely missing them.

And to think that was his first mission , shockingly easy considering what was to come.

[gcnedark]

@glitteringagency here! I know we already kind of have a thread going but ... I couldn’t help it, if you’re still hoping for Midawolf.. this is Midas to Wolf// “F-fuck–my hands are shaking-”

I would kill for you 😳//

@glitteringagency

His arms wrap around the shaking Midas , pulling him in close. And in his softest voice possible he starts to speak.

" You're alright... 'm here... "

[gcnedark]

" I won't I fuckin' won't - can we get this suit off ? It feels like I can't move... "

He stated as the suit continued to turn to gold. Weighing down on the agent... It was just his suit right ?

[glitteringagency]

  “You- you need to get it off yourself, if I touch you it could make it go much faster,” Midas holds his arms close to his chest. He was starting to regret dealing with deities like Oro.  “Just- take it off!”

[glitteringagency]

// wehh i wish i had the ability to rp like i did in middle school jkdfnksdj good characterization, long replies, and there was people to rp with everywhere fam. dang

[quest-friends]

“I almost hate to ask this, but have you had a proper meal today, Agent Skye?” Midas asks the young girl, after doing his rounds of the shark. //- glitteringagency

"And by proper meal you mean?" Skye grumbled.

[glitteringagency]

Midas rolled his eyes, “I mean not just a cold pack of pepperoni slices with an energy drink. Actual food. Maybe some proper meat, something.”

[quest-friends]

"Well... I have to do what I have to do, I can't sit down to enjoy some prawn cocktails, I'm running a prison here."

[glitteringagency]

“I didn’t send you here to overwork you or keep you from taking care of yourself...I’m sure the henchmen can handle the area for a few minutes, agent. Come join me for lunch?” Midas offered, feeling a bit guilty after Skye’s remark.

[rouge-renegade-shadow]

“Nice... Now I can run over to the agency...”

[quest-friends]

"....Sure.." She reluctantly agreed. It had been a long time since she had a proper meal.

[glitteringagency]

Midas smiled. “Very well. What do you like to eat? Favorite food, I’ll have it made for you. Hell, I’ll make it.”

[quest-friends]

"I haven't really had much, my family were quite poor. Suprise me!"

[glitteringagency]

“Alright. Have you ever even bothered to use the Shark’s kitchen? And not the base level one..”

[quest-friends]

"Again, running a prison here, can't really do that."

[glitteringagency]

“Right, right. I’m terribly busy myself but... I don’t want you to pass out one of these days. I do have to say you’re doing a wonderful job. Now, sit. Eat some fruit or something while I make you something filling. Hopefully you’ll even end up with leftovers.”

[quest-friends]

"Trust me, the inmates knock me out plenty of times and I have passed out before, but thanks." Skye ate some strawberries and waited for the main course.

[glitteringagency]

“I know, I’ve seen you over security footage. But the henchmen don’t tend to let them get away so easy if they do. They’re quite protective of you.” Midas moved around the kitchen as he spoke, deciding on making buttery shrimp after Skye’s comment about prawns. He always had the main kitchens stocked, should he stay there for longer than usual. “Have you ever had strawberries with sweetened condensed milk, Agent Skye? I think you’d like it.”

[quest-friends]

The "Agent" kept the mood formal, yet Skye did think of Midas as a father. "No, but I have had white chocolate dipped ones." She sprinkled some on and tried it. "Quite nice, in all honesty."

[glitteringagency]

“Too sweet,” He scrunched his nose, “I haven’t been able to get honeydew on the island but that’s even better.” He couldn’t help but smile, as he cooked; Setting some white rice to cook on its own, and then throwing in some vegetables to cook in the steam. Once he was done, he disposed of his gloves and brought a nice, full plate right in front of Skye. “Not exactly a prawn cocktail, but... a pretty balanced meal.”

[quest-friends]

"Nice, never knew you could cook." Skye grabbed her fork and started to eat. "This is really good! We need to do this more often."

[glitteringagency]

“I haven’t always had someone to cook for me,” he sits by Skye and begins to eat out of his own plate. “I would like that, especially if it keeps you away from those horrid lunchables.”

[quest-friends]

"Oh, come on, that's not the only thing I eat. If it was, I would be a rotting corpse right now." She finished and put the plate in the dishwasher.

[glitteringagency]

“Yes, sure, but you’re also still growing... at least I think,” He tried at cracking a joke, not sure if it would get across. “You deserve some good food for all the work you do around here. It’d be a mess without you, I’m quite proud.” He did the same, turning on the washer with everything loaded.

[gcnedark]

@glitteringagency here! I know we already kind of have a thread going but ... I couldn’t help it, if you’re still hoping for Midawolf.. this is Midas to Wolf// “F-fuck–my hands are shaking-”

I would kill for you 😳//

@glitteringagency

His arms wrap around the shaking Midas , pulling him in close. And in his softest voice possible he starts to speak.

" You're alright... 'm here... "

[glitteringagency]

Midas flinched away from Wolf, he tried to avoid touching him directly. “D-Don’t... I don’t want to hurt you.” He stuttered, trying to keep his hands away. Usually being in Wolf’s arms would calm him immediately, but... “I can’t control it...” he says, barely above a whisper. And it was true, the gold he kept contained at his hands seemed to be crawling up his forearms.

[gcnedark]

Well , that was beyond concerning for the agent. He was just confused , how'd this happen ? He'd seen this man turn heads into gold at his own will... Why is this happening ?

" Hey , look at me - "

He said , pulling away from Midas and locking eyes with him.

" You'll get through this - alright ? We'll get through this. "

[glitteringagency]

Midas looked up at him, his eye shining a brighter gold than usual. He was never afraid of anything, anyone. But this? This scared him.

“I knew this would happen. I shouldn’t have brought you here-“

He sighed, taking in all of Wolf’s features. Maybe he’d have Wolf leave for his own safety.

“Right. You’re right. We will. Thank you...”

But his hands would not stop trembling, his power growing out of control.

[gcnedark]

" I'll always be here for ya , okay ? I'm not gonna leave your side. "

Wolf was a man of his word , but of course if Midas wanted some space. He would give space , he's not THAT much of an asshole.

" You wanna tell the others ? "

[glitteringagency]

If Wolf left him, he wouldn’t know what to do with himself at that point. Upon his suggestion, his eyes widened and he slightly pushed himself away from Wolf. He didn’t pay much attention to the fact that he had now dusted Wolf’s shirt with golden speckles.

“No, no we can’t. What will they think? I’m supposed to be- be me, the leader, I can’t show them th-this- this weakness!”

[gcnedark]

" ... I just washed this suit man. "

He watched as the gold took his suit , fuck.

" Woah , calm down. We don't have to tell 'em , alright ? We can keep it quiet... "

[glitteringagency]

Midas shook his head, staring at his hands. If he had touched him directly...

“You... I’m so sorry. Don’t touch me. Not until I can fix this. And you better not tell anyone. We can’t let the enemy know.”

The more he panicked, though, the faster it spread, up to his neck now, halfway down his chest.

[wrap-it-in-gold]

“You know, if you’d just trust the agents and I, maybe we wouldn’t be so weary about being near you.” Skye said, huffing at the fact that Midas still wouldn’t talk to her. She was in his office, uninvited. She had just shown up and was laying on her back on top of Ollie, who was taking a small nap. “You’re always working!” // —glitteringagency (I wish you could send asks from sideblogs :/ )

♚ The current intruder who seemed to want to stop him from working was Skye, but he simply looked over the file on his desk, only lifting his gaze when she finished speaking. Finally, he was looking up, closing the file as he did.

♚ “You all believe I don’t trust you? If I didn’t trust you, none of you would be here.”

♚ He said, though despite the harshness of his words, his voice was calm and his expression was neutral.

♚ “As for me always working, I would counter that I don’t but, that would be a lie. I work so much because that’s my job as the leader of this agency.”

@glitteringagency

[glitteringagency]

Skye sighed and let Ollie turn into his hat form and plopped the beanie back on her head, jumping up to sit on his desk.

“Yeah, but... you spend all your time here. You know what happens to people who never decompress? Their heads blow up and they die from working too much and then who will run the agency then?” She knew she was being annoying but... “And you don’t really... wanna tell us about what your big plan is. I’m just curious.” She swung her legs, “Do you even sleep..?”

[glitteringagency]

" You're Midas ? Honestly I'm very - underwhelmed. " - Wolf ? 😳

“I’m sorry to disappoint. Not exactly sure what you were expecting here...”

[gcnedark]

" I dunno , someone intimidating ? After hearing the stories this just doesn't feel right. "

[glitteringagency]

Midas rolled his eyes and held up a hand, letting the gold flow from it and cover the rest of him,

“I suppose, physically, I’m not someone you would worry about. But that’s just something to use to my advantage... you’ve heard of me. But I know very little about you.”

[ask-fortnite-tailor]

“Hey, hey Tailor! So are ya here forever now? Or are ya gonna try an’ beat the boss like the last guy..?” Skye asked him with a smile, “I wouldn’t try it, he got... kicked off the island. But you seem nice...” Skye rests her chin on her hands, leaning on Ollie, and waiting for an answer. //- glitteringagency

🍀 Tailor looked over at her, raising his eyebrows before giving her an almost awkward smile.

🍀 “I’m here until I’m no longer needed. Though I have no intention of trying to “beat the boss” as you put it. I know not to mess with a man like him.”

@glitteringagency

[glitteringagency]

“That’s what they all say. But I can tell you’re gonna be here for longer.

“Cause you’re smart.” She tapped her head with one finger, “and I heard you’re gonna be designing new stuff for us. Or maybe I misunderstood..?” She pried, interested in the green gentleman.

[glitteringagency]

" You're Midas ? Honestly I'm very - underwhelmed. " - Wolf ? 😳

“I’m sorry to disappoint. Not exactly sure what you were expecting here...”
