"  OH  !!  i'm  so  sorry  !!  "  she  lets  out  a  sheepish  little  laugh.  "i  guess  i  get  kinda  loud  when  i'm  excited,  i  didn't  mean  to.  .  .  yeah.  um.  sorry!!"

. . .

she leans forward, bouncing up on her toes. "um, is it okay if i ask who it is right now? not that - i just mean you don't sound like moony, and kris told me about. . . or - augh, i'm sorry. i'm being a pest." kanako laughs again, softer and more apologetic. "i can get out of your hair, if you need some quiet. . ."

[gyftbox]

hades pauses, eyes that were pressed closed, flutter open slightly, his expression most likely seems to be annoyance, but really: he's just thinking, now. maybe he shouldn't of snapped... watching the other scramble to apologize, there's a pang of a guilt in his chest. ugh. 👻 there's a light sigh, then, " alright, alright, there's no need to grovel, now. " he finally states, shifting in his chair a bit, crossing his legs, casually. 👻 " ...well, i apologize too, then, if i sounded too harsh, i suppose. " and he'll leave it at that, it seems. hades had never been very good at apologies, or more emotional things, at all. that was moony's job, or witch-hazels, really... he just didn't have the energy, at the moment. 👻 " anyway, for being so observant, it's only fair, that i--well, hades. my name is hades, and it is nice to meet you proper, despite. " 👻 " you may stay, by the way, as long as you stay your current volume, yes? now, what is all this excitement about, hm...? " 👻

[gyftbox]

" ugh, i already have a headache this morning, don't make it worse, will you? " hades grumbles a little, rubbing his temples, as he sits back in his chair, absentmindedly. 👻

[gyftbox]

'no hopes, no dreams, i have nothing, death is all that can define me, the ends calling, no more stalling, stars will fade, but i'll keep shining.' is such a moony line, just so you know.

i've done bad things to good people . / from kris :(

@castletcwn // ✱˚｡⋆ ↪ 𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒 .

tucked away in the castle's garden, moonflower and kris sit quietly. the prince had come to find the other here, after their silent disapp -earance during an activity. he's fine to sit in silence for now, until they're ready to speak. it'd seem they have a lot on their mind, late -ly. so he waits, quietly, enjoying the ever-shifting, colorful flora. 🍰 'i've done bad things to good people', is stated, bluntly, almost final, in the way it's worded, expressed. the darkner pauses, for a moment. 🍰 " ...i see. " moonflower says, " ...kris? " he continues, tone soft, " well, it isn't my place to judge, as i am unaware of what you've done, nor would i wish to, anyway, due to their gravitas in your mind, seemingly. " a thinking hum, then. 🍰 " but, if i may, i can try and soothe your nerves, i hope. but first, may i tell you a secret? ...despite what may come across, i do not believe in true, pure goodness. i think everyone has, and will, do bad things, even if they try very hard not to, it's just the nature of us as people. " 🍰 " ...i know, i know. i try so hard to push goodness, yet i believe such a thing? perhaps it's hypocritical, i don't know. but, none -theless. i think, just because we do bad things, it does not make us inherently bad people. does that make sense? " 🍰 moonflower's paws clasp, absentmindedly, set in his lap. he looks back over at kris, a subtle smile on his face. tone shifts slightly, to something more sort of... playful? 🍰 " if you'll believe it, even i have done damage to someone, i'm sure. " he says, clearly joking now, as he giggled a bit behind a polite paw. 🍰 after the bubbly sound dies down, he suddenly jolts a bit, as if he's just realized something, " oh! i do hope i haven't sounded lecturing, or anything, though! i truly didn't mean to speak so much. " moonflower rubs at the back of his neck, other paw raising in faux-surrender. 🍰 " ...can you forgive me, too? " a nervous laugh, light -hearted. (as i forgive you, goes unsaid, yet implied.) 🍰

shield / from kris :]

@castletcwn // send “shield” for my muse’s reaction to yours placing themselves between my muse and danger.

the fight had actually been over--or, at least, that's what they had all thought, chatting among themselves, as the other lay knocked prone. moonflower was actually about to turn, to ask them to join them at castletown, despite their defeat. 🍰 when suddenly, the quarrelsome darkner picks themselves up from their prone position and lunges forward, towards the little prince! he turns, just in time to catch the glint of their weapon in his widened eyes. with no time to dodge, or do much at all, he momentarily braces himself to take the attack head on. but, then... 🍰 nothing happens. moonflower blinks, once, twice, glancing up and seeing not his apparent attackers face, but kris, protectively stood in front of him, shield up. the prince's eyes sparkle, just a bit!-- 🍰 but, either way, the other darkner seems as equally caught off guard by this, when their weapon simply 'tink!'s off metal shielding, and... well, after grumbling something about, 'i'll be back!', simply runs off. 🍰 for a moment, all is quiet, until moonflower suddenly jolts to a start, scram -bling to his feet, " k, kris, are you alright!? " is his first question, of course, " ohhh, you didn't have to do that! i, i mean, not that i'm ungrateful, of co -urse, but...! " you could've gotten hurt, goes unsaid, for now. a light sigh. 🍰 " are you alright? come, come, let me get a look at you... " moon -flower says, stepping closer, as he continues to fuss a little. 🍰

[legendforth]

Really, he'd thought that might have finally done something, yet, it seemed to be treated as nonchalantly as all the rest of their exchanges. The fallen prince had been ready to curse himself for finally showing anything but that facade, though now he was going to have to serve tea for Moonflower instead.

"Right, right. Tea it is, then."

It had been a rhetorical offer, of course, but he did have some manners. ..Not really, but now it would feel silly to not follow through on the offer made. So, he made his way to the kitchen of this old home, and began the work of getting the tea going in the kettle.

They weren't really sure what to say now, of all things, having been so cruel and being met with a smile in turn. Things felt awkward, rather than fulfilling, now. They thought it would feel cathartic to lash out... it really hadn't. Why was that? It always did, for awhile, at least.

"There really isn't much to know," they spoke up from the kitchen. "Really. I was stupid and died."

Had Asriel ever confessed to having died before? They joked about it, at times, but she wasn't sure if she'd ever said it flat-out.

"My best friend and I had a plan, but I chickened out; and so, we died. Years later, something else came back.. and, well..."

There's a beat, before the goat sighed and made her way back to the sitting room.

"I'm not a good person, y'know. It really would be best if you just forgot about me already. I could.. well, I could hurt you."

Did Asriel not want to hurt them? The thought briefly occurred to them that, somewhat, they felt remorseful for snapping like they had. Being faced with kindness in return was so jarring that it must have shook up some old dust in here somewhere... Memories of what being nice was like, once, maybe.

"You're playing with fire trying to be friends with me. I've killed all the friends I've ever had."

[gyftbox]

moonflower doesn't let the breath he'd been holding go until the other turns, the sound quiet. as unphased as he seemed, he was genuinely a little relieved that seemed to get through to the other, at least somewhat. he quietly follows behind the other, to the kitchen, paws tucked at his front, as polite as always. 🍰 he begins to help out, without much thought, even if it's just getting some teacups down, for when the tea is ready. the gentle clink of dishes. he listens to the other's story, carefully, nodding a bit, here and there. moonflower thinks it over, for a moment. 🍰 " i see... " he begins, lightly tapping his chin as eyes wander off, " well, that's still a start, isn't it? that doesn't sound like nothing to me. ", " a 'bad' person, is still a person, i'd say, anyway. so...! " as they settle in at the table in the sitt -ing room, moonflower gently reaches across, taking asriel's paws in his own. 🍰 " i don't mind what you are, as long as you are. and, if you were to hurt me, then. well, i suppose we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, yes? what is life, but playing with fire of varying degrees, really... " a pause, a beat, and then: an attempt at a joke, just to lighten the mood a little, if possible. 🍰 " plus, i think you're underestimating me a little here... who's to say i wouldn't keep up with you well enough in a battle, hm? " a teasing wink. 🍰

[legendforth]

The fallen prince had froze on the spot when his 'pretending' was called out, the only thing that did move was his eyes. Which, having been frozen in smug casualness, had shot open to stare at the other. Just a little too wide as he let Moonflower talk on and on, about how he did the same, about how he doesn't feel any different because of that, and how he 'cared'. He cared. About what? About who.

"I don't have to pretend?" He finally spoke, head limply falling forward as smile stretched too wide, like someone had gashed across his cheeks to allow all that nothingness be exposed within. "What would I do then? There's nothing here, y'know."

It was true that he was so rarely blessed with the ability to feel anything positive, let alone anything at all, but the negative emotions came far- oh, so far- easier. Like the bubbling anger rising to the surface at the other's words. How he didn't care about not being able to reset should his harsh words be taken the wrong way anymore. Tired of going around in circles trying to figure things out.

"There's no 'Asriel', there's no 'Flowey'- those are all just roles, and I'm playing my part." That stillness was replaced by trembling now, whole body shaking like something might shatter out of them at any moment. Like, if he was pushed, something might just go pop. "There's not even anything left to care about, is there? You don't even know me. All you know is Asriel this, Asriel that, and yet the second I don't fit that mold, suddenly there's something wrong, huh?"

This happened before, didn't it? Flowey had tried to play pretend with Toriel, once, too, and got such a similar response that it just made his nonexistent blood boil.

"There's nothing here to care about, it's all dead and buried. So, as much as your little song and dance about caring is oh-so-pretty, I think I will pretend, thank you very much."

And, just like that, all that anger is gone again, as that chipper little tone came sickeningly sweet back to his voice and demeanor.

"Golly gee, sorry about that, I really must have woken up on the wrong side of the flower patch, huh? Maybe I should get myself some tea, do you want any? I think there's still some boxes in the cupboards."

[gyftbox]

moonflower doesn't seem to flinch, at least outwardly, at the other's outburst, instead there's an expression of thoughtfulness, thinking. his hands carefully fold at his front, as eyes wander elsewhere, away. 🍰 " for the record, i do not think anything is wrong, per-say... but, you say there is nothing here to know, yet at the same time, i do not know anything of you? well... if we're being honest, i don't think i know you, either. " he twirls some fur with a finger, absentmindedly. fidgeting. his tone is shockingly calm, despite the tensity of their conversation. 🍰 " but, i'd like to. if you wouldn't mind, at some point. as, if it is any -thing, i've become quiet comfortable with 'nothingness' over the years, as a general concept, anyway. " there's a soft smile, again. 🍰 " ...and, well, i'd love some tea, if you'd be so kind, of course. " 🍰

[legendforth]

"It was a way to sate my boredom, I suppose, but then it got so noisy. The last thing I want to deal with is a crowd." It's a lot harder to manipulate a group, of course, and that had made him admittedly prefer more solo interactions.. really, now that he thought of it, perhaps the prince ought to work on that. Moments like this really do make him miss the abilities he once had.

Either way, now he's being looked at with a more genuine expression. Asriel must have struck a nerve there, at last. Asriel. A name that, while it was supposed to be his, took some effort to not flinch away from. It didn't fit him, really, and that feeling just became all the more prominent at times.

Asriel doesn't come back from the dead, after all, it was never something he did. Asriel had friends.

Which, even now, he wasn't quite sure if he did. Something that troubled him, even if it shouldn't. Just like that expression, which should have finally given him some satisfaction, troubled him, too. What he wanted to do was lash out and be done with it for now, though part of him thought better of it. There weren't any retries anymore, despite his wants.

"You're tooth-achingly sweet. It can make someone nauseous if they aren't ready for it." Really, he meant for that to come out a little nicer, and so his whole demeanor shifted to try and match the energy he meant to give off with that.

"You're just so vibrant that it can be a little painful for someone so used to the dark, y'know? Give a guy a break, I haven't seen the sun myself in a thousand years, so it takes me a bit t' adjust, see? I just 'woke up', ya gotta let someone shake off the post-death yawning void feelin'!"

[gyftbox]

moonflower's expression changes subtly, he had noticed the odd shift in demeanor from the other, and his head gently tilts. hum... sure, the words were nicer in theory, but something still felt. off, here. he wasn't stupid, after all! or, rather, not that stupid, at least. there's a pause, simply taking it in, just for a moment. 🍰 " ...aw, you don't have to do all that... " a mumble, then said clearer, " i can tell when you're pretending, you know. i do the same, at times. " the darkner prince fidgets a bit, " i apologize, that i made you feel as if you must do such. " 🍰 a beat, searching for the right words, or an attempt at them, at least, " it's fine, if you can't, ah... feel the same way about things, as i do. you've told me, i'm aware of such. it doesn't make me feel any different about you, though. you know that, right? " 🍰 " no matter how you are, i do still care about you. and, even if i don't under -stand sometimes, i'd like to still try, if you'd allow me...? " another pause, " ah... i didn't mean to talk so much! sorry, sorry, i know you don't particularly like all that sappy stuff, i just wanted to make that clear, i suppose. that's all! " 🍰

[legendforth]

"I'll have you know I'm just fine being alone, thank you very much. Besides, there's some stragglers down here that refused to leave, so I pester them every now and again." Still, he knew by now that it was a lost cause trying to reason the goat away. Reason seemed like the last thing the prince would listen to.

If he wasn't so apathetic, Asriel might have done something drastic by now, but he'd be lying if he said that he didn't appreciate the filling of dead air.

"But, oh, I see how it is. I'm just the excuse to get away from all those princely duties, hm? Shirking your flower counting duties to bother me now, I'm honored."

[gyftbox]

" sure! but, you used to visit me in castle town at times when it was less... busy, so i suppose you could consider it returning the favor, at least, no? " eyes lightly roll at the accusation next, a light sigh as hands settle on hips. 🍰 " that is not what i meant, and you know it... and, i do more then count flowers, i promise i do! " a gentle laugh, now muffled behind a polite paw. 🍰 " allow me to re-word, while it is nice to get away from stuff at times, i do genuinely enjoy your company! even when you get, ah, mean. " " ...is my own company truly that terrible, asriel...? " brows furrowed, he still smiles, though there's a hint of genuine nerves to it, it'd seem. 🍰

[legendforth]

"I swear, if you're going to be here every time I come back from the dead, you may as well get your own room."

[gyftbox]

" aw, that's a surprisingly sweet thought from you, even if i know you're being sarcastic, and all! i just worry about you, y'know? " 🍰 " i know what it's like to be alone, of course, so i just think it's nice to try and keep you company when i can, yes? " a hum, he lightly claps his hands together. " (plus, anyway, it's kind of a nice excuse to get away from everything for a bit...) " 🍰

[gyftbox]

" hiiiiii, asriel, hiiiiii !!! ❤︎ " he didn't forget, his mun was just asleep, it seems. 🍰

[ ELATION ]: sender scoops up the receiver and carries them away after a mutual victory, or having just received very good news (or maybe they're both just very happy for some reason!) / from susie!

@castletcwn // REASONS TO CARRY SOMEONE. ( A PROMPT LIST! )

the battle between the gang and this other darkner had been long and arduous, neither side wanting to give up, it'd seem! moonflower had been doing lots of healing, and not to mention, was almost dead on his feet from exhaustion himself. a passing thought, i sure hope my own lullaby doesn't case me to doze-- he shakes his head gentle as he notices something: susie. she was kneeling, having been knocked from her feet, teeth grit, a boiling anger underneath... 🍰 he quickly begins to prepare a spell, to hopefully give her a little boost, just enough to put an end to all this! 🍰

* MOONFLOWER CASTS HEAL PRAYER!

minutes later, the fight was finally over, and moonflower almost didn't bel -ieve it, until he heard susie's whoops and cheers, saw a faint smile on kris' face. he blinks a few times, incredulous, but before he can say much himself, the monster is basically on top of him! he squeaks when he's suddenly scooped up off his feet, and spun around excitedly, for good measure. 🍰 " oh! " yet, the prince can't help but start to giggle, slowly growing in volume, " we did it, we actually did it! gosh, susie, that last ACT you did, it was amazing! you're really getting the hang of this! " he shifts in her arms a little, to gently cup her face in his paws as he speaks, pink eyes lightly sparkling. 🍰 there's a beat, then, a playful smile still playing across fluffy features, " um, are you gonna keep carrying me? not that i mind, of course! it does make me feel sort of princely, i suppose... " he's only teasing, of course. 🍰

[soulprompts]

REASONS TO CARRY SOMEONE. ( A PROMPT LIST! )

listen, i'm back home now, i'm thinking about things, and i saw the maxton hall gifset floating around and i was like. yk what. carrying people is elite content, and gdi y'all deserve elite content! as always, DO NOT ADD OR EDIT THIS LIST! and there's a lil spicy addition under the readmore, but i left it there just in case people prefer to have a not-so-spicy version.

[ CAREFUL ]: sender gently lifts the receiver out of their seat and carries them carefully to bed after noticing they fell asleep and not wanting to waken them.
