[lcafman]

closed thread with @drekakynr , continued from here ! !

laughter erupted from deep within his chest , offering the chief a shrug . " says who ? i didn't know they made any rules about that , " he purred . a sharp upwards turn from nods timberjack - lily - sent him barreling over hiccup and his trusty stead , toothless . it was just enough momentum to throw nod a few feet ahead - for now , at least .

" winner gets a kiss ? "

[scoutsarcher]

mainlanders , humans , nuisances , whatever you want to call them . they’ve always posed as a threat to fairies , despite being the reason for their very existence . aside from peter and the lost boys , most would never know of them beyond a legend shared from generation to generation .

“ it started being our problem the minute it stepped foot into pixie hollow . so i don’t care who you are , but i’m doing what i came here to do . ” hands adjusting the bow wrapped around her figure , ready to pull it at the drop of a pin . “ so it’s in your best interest to stay the hell out of my way . ”

gods , why was he so infuriating ? normally she wasn’t this cold when just meeting someone , but he triggered this instant fight response within her . it irked her , but she needed to prove her capability .

“ thanks , but no thanks . the fact that that thing slipped right past you during your personal tap session proves you couldn’t navigate your way out of a tea pot . ” then her eyes narrowed in a split second , mirroring a thousand daggers . her finger raised to point at his chest , closing the gap completely with it . “ i don’t collect buttons . i protect my people and my home . i don’t sit idly by while threats walk around freely . now i’m going to find this thing before it kills some one else . ” all fingers extending now to give him a forceful shove away from her .

[lcafman]

" or what ? " nod mused at her vague threat , warning him to stay out of her way . it wasn't that nod doubted her ability to kick his ass on grounds of her being a woman . no , it was on grounds of her being a fairy , of course . he was pretty certain that the effort of keeping her wings up would be enough to slow her down before she could get a single swing in . pfft , amateur . " you'll ' glitter me ' to death ? "

the smug smirk that had landed on nods face remained put during their encounter , refusing to budge even as a delicate finger made its way to poke him in his sternum . his irritation had morphed into him quite enjoying poking fun at her . her fuse was almost as short as she was .

nod opened his mouth to reply before something caught his eye . the hair on his arm stood up , and the man quickly redirected his attention to the sky where he caught sight of the very thing he dreaded .

shit .

a hawk was circling just above them , searching for her next meal - which very well could be a leafman and a fairy . his breath hitched just as the woman shoved him . any further noise would guarantee they were discovered . in an effort to get the stranger to shut the hell up , he grabbed her as she turned away , pulling her back flush against his chest and using a calloused hand to cover her mouth .

" shut . up . " he bent down , hissing the order quietly into her pointed ear , " unless you want to get us both killed . look . at your five . "

character headcanon generator !

use the generator to generate headcanons for your muse, and post 5—10 results that you agree with!

nod should never drive .

THIS WAS THE FIRST ONE I GOT . yeah . yeah .

nod LOVES AMONG US

it terrifies me how accurate this is . modern!nod would fucking love among us

nod has a really good immune system

i mean . yeah ? my headcanon for the leafmen/jinn in general is that since they're plants they can't really get like . bacterial/viral infections , only fungal ones . for human!nod , i think he still has a really good immune system cause he probably ate dirt as a kid

nod is smart but also very stupid

100% except for the smart part

nod is naturally very loud

have you seen the movie .

nod is really , really unfunny but everyone laughs to be nice

who's " everyone " they all stare at him with disgust . as they should

nod has been canceled on twitter

AS HE FUCKING SHOULD BE SCREW THIS GUY

nod is extremely competitive

nooo whaaaat that's craaaazy noooo (/s)

nod loves winter

*stares DIRECTLY at rei*

nod doesn't have dreams . to them , sleeping is just one really long blink .

OK so like . i actually subscribe to this one . don't get me wrong i do think nod struggles with things ( like the loss of his father ) , but i don't really think he's the kind of guy who internalizes his trauma . he CAN dream , but he's not a " wake up in a cold sweat " kind of guy . i genuinely think that so much of the trauma he's experienced is just . part of his life and the culture of those around him so it just Doesn't Bug Him ( pun intented ) . so yeah long story short when people wake up from bad dreams and are like " yeah just one of those nightmares " he's like " MHMM ... HAHA I SURE DO GET THOSE ... "

<— he who has literally zero idea what any of those movies are . or mean . seriously what the hell is a “ notting hill “ it sounds kind of freaky .

“ uhh — love actually ? “ was that the right answer he didn’t know there was going to be a pop quiz

[lcafman]

Speed run cheek smooch ! ! Catch her if you can she's on a move today .

! ? ! ?

it's never an unwelcome greeting - but he's definitely trying to piece together what the hell just happened after a whirl of brown hair glides past him . he finally has just enough wherewithall to identify the perpetrator as eileen - brightening up at the sight of her .

he's reaching out to wrap an arm around her waist ! she'll have to be pretty speedy if she wants to evade capture . >:)

[scoutsarcher]

it wouldn’t be an unwelcome discovery , if the others were more civilized than him .

“ and i was supposed to know you weren’t just another annoying mainlander ? ” she scoffed . “ news flash , i don’t want to be here anymore than you want me to be . but i have my orders , and that means i stay . ”

a rather unfortunate revelation , but it was the truth . if she were to return home without so much as a hair of proof , then she’d be ridiculed beyond reproach . and chase was never a failure . she would complete this mission , with or without this guy’s help .

“ look , if you don’t have any useful commentary , i’ll get back to my hunt . ” mimicking his attitude , she stepped off towards the other end of the branch , wondering if it had somehow slipped behind her line of vision . of course it wasn’t an ordinary animal , although it did wear the bones of one . then came a sigh . “ i don’t . . . i don’t know what it’s called . but it walks on two legs , just like us , talks just like us , but it’s blue . ” it killed her to admit she didn’t know what it was , but that’s her whole point in being here .

she may very well stand out here , but it was the standard issue uniform back home , which blended in perfectly fine . head snapping back around , glaring at his uniform as well . “ great leaf costume , by the way . ” rolling her eyes once again .

[lcafman]

“ mainlander ? “ nod muttered under his breath , attempting to sort out what the word meant — which , to him , was absolutely nothing . he brushed off the comment as she carried on , scoffing at her next reply .

“ oh , orders ? that’s cute . you think your orders mean shit around here . unless they came from ronin himself — which , i promise you , they didn’t — you can take your orders and shove them up your commanders ass . anything that wandered into our territory is our problem now , so why don’t you just tell your friends you don’t have to play pretend ‘ soldiers ‘ anymore . “ he finished curtly .

nod wasn’t sure why her presence aggravated him so much . hell , sometimes he found the boggans sneaking onto his territory to be fun . maybe it was the argument he had had earlier with ronin about ‘ not taking his role seriously ‘ , maybe it was the weather , maybe it was the fact that she was a fairy and freakishly hot and — no , NO . no .

blue ? maybe he needed to start worrying about the strangers mental status . was she hallucinating blue fairies ? he didn’t know much about what went on in her home land , but he was relatively certain he would’ve remembered hearing about blue fairies .

even still , not even nod could pass up a golden opportunity to fuck with her .

“ wait — hold on , blue ? i actually know where they went , “ he began , eyes wide and tone earnest . he stepped across the branch to close the gap between them . “ in fact , i actually just ran into him . he said he was going back to your house to steal your collection of buttons ! “

cue a shit eating grin .

[scoutsarcher]

｡･: * ⋆ ˚ : ✧｡ truly , the last thing she expected to come across was someone mildly like her . avoiding mainlanders was easy , so this was a bit unexpected . but unlike the mainlanders , this one is already testing her last nerve . all she wanted to do was neutralize the threat and return home , and now this .

a roll of the eyes , arms folding across her chest in a huff . “ even your bird knows you’re full of shit . i could hear you talking to yourself a mile back . ” exaggerated , but it got her point across . and at least her wings could blend in with nature , resonating like that of a dragonfly .

“ then clearly you’re just as bad at your job as you are with greetings . ” a venomous response , irritation increasing every second . “ because if you had been paying attention , you would have seen that vile creature disappear into the tree line . ”

chase was ready to fly off in an instant , to not give this stranger another second of her time , but she felt the need to defend herself . it was often her downfall . “ and i’m not friends with squirrels . i’m a scout , not an animal talent . ”

[lcafman]

if she didn't expect to come across anyone like her , she was about to be sorely mistaken .

" oh , wow , so she can listen ! " nod retorted , arms crossing over his chest . " if you heard me miles back , then you should know that i'm here , and therefore you shouldn't be . are we connecting the dots ? "

her second statement , however , gave the leafman pause . he frowned for a brief moment , glancing in the direction that the stranger seemed prepped to head . creature . . . he hadn't seen anything , and it wasn't like lily - who was normally on high alert - reacted to anything either . then again , maybe his incessant complaining had been distracting her .

" - what do you mean ' creature ' ? " the moment the words left nods lips , however , he was practically scolding himself for taking even a moment to consider her words . ' creature ' was probably something stupid , like a bat or another harmless animal that posed literally zero threat . nod rolled his eyes , exasperated , " look , if it has eyes on the side of its head , it's too stupid to actually hurt you . feel better ? great . goodbye . " nod was prepared to place his hands on the womans shoulders and physically steer her back to " fairy haven " or whatever the name of their stupid kingdom was .

" a scout , wow , fascinating . and your camoflauge is really effective . " nod deadpanned at her final comment , offering her a judgemental lookover on her attire . why would a scout need to stand out with the appearance of porcupine stripes ?

[lcafman]

Unwashed ass.

. . . why are you thinking about my ass huh

[scoutsarcher]

｡･: * ⋆ ˚ : ✧｡ missions didn’t often stray from pixie hollow , but a new threat had emerged . a hideous creature had infiltrated their beloved hollow , and they managed to trace it back to this very forest on the mainland . and with chase being the sharpest eye in the scouts , it was her task to observe and learn what their plan of attack was . but in her mind—nyx was using it as an excuse to get rid of her . they’d been butting heads ever since the . . . incident , and now she was clearly being punished . honestly , she was glad to have the space to think and breathe finally .

she’d been following a trail , hefty footprints in the fresh mud , leading her right to them . but all of a sudden , they vanished . the archer was left flitting about different routes , desperately searching for any sign of where the creature had gone . all of them fell short . “ where the hell did this thing go ? ” she groaned to herself , flying down the next possible path . along the way , profanities flew from her lips , jingling into the brisk evening air . darkness was soon to overtake and she’d lose them for sure once the light had gone .

cerulean hues scan the forest floor , wings carrying her almost as fast as the wind—though not quite , seeing as she’s not a fast flying talent . a faint voice could be heard nearby , too smooth to be one of those things . it was preventing chase from listening for it , which added to her already pissed off mood .

it became clear that her foe had vanished for the night , and her wings cried for a rest . zipping through a tree , chase found a high branch to perch herself on . from there , she could see the sky and the forest floor , giving her optimal range . head constantly turning on a swivel , a noise catching her attention . finally , she’s got it . gaze narrowed in hopes of finding what she came for—her ticket home—only to be met with leaves rustling in the wind , squirrels chittering below , and—

a grating , arrogant voice coming from below . chase steps towards the edge of the branch , holding onto a leaf stem to lean down further . her glare sharpens like a dagger , eyeing the figure which called out to her . “ you could help me by being quiet . i lost its trail thanks to your ramblings . ” she huffed , realizing the trail had gone completely cold now . “ are you always this loud ? ”

[lcafman]

a fairy . of course , perfect ! just what he needed . one of those obnoxious over sized butterflies with wings droning on and on about how they could ‘ change the seasons with friendship ‘ or whatever . and now one of them had wandered into his territory .

her comment drew a scoff from the brunette , “ oh , i’m sorry , do you not hear yourself ? I’m pretty sure the entire forest can hear your wings flapping from a mile away . i’m pretty sure my bird can fly more quietly . “ lily , as if on schedule , fluffed her feathers in a dignified manner .

dismissing his birds clear annoyance , nod scaled a few more branches to close the distance between him and the stranger . “ and what do you mean ‘ it’s trail ‘ ? i’ve been on post for the past three hours and i haven’t seen anything . are you sure it wasn’t one of your stupid squirrel friends or something ? “

ㅤㅤ❝𝓘 love coming to a party with a friend, and they just... kinda took off.❞ Sydney said flatly as she looked around the room from where she sat on a sofa in the sitting room. ❝I don't even know the host. But they were my ride. So I'm kinda stuck." A pause. ❝I guess I could Uber. But—❞" Her voice trailed off, still hopeful that they would come back shortly.

[lcafman]

it wasn't like nod knew the host either - or even how he had managed to come to this party to begin with . one of his friends had bugged him into tagging along , only to make herself comfortable with one of the host's best friends ( a long time crush of hers ) , and the two were now rather unceremoniously publically displaying their new found affection towards one another . despite how happy he was for his friend to finally go after the " girl of her dreams " , it was forcing nod into socializing . normally he was all for that , but either everyone around him was too drunk - or he wasn't drunk enough .

so , instead , nod found himself plopped on the couch next to a stranger , sipping - whatever nauseating concoction had made its way into his cup .

the strangers mutterings caught his attention , he shot a quick glance at their source . she seemed just as uncomfortable as he felt .

" join the club , " nod sighed , tilting his drink in her direction in solidarity . " who the hell hosts a party on a wednesday , anyways ? don't we have places to be tomorrow ? " he added with a slight smile pulling at the edge of his lips . anything to appear less pathetic . " - sorry about your friend . did you try texting them ? "

[lcafman]

booo you stink .

YEAH I KNOW I AM BUT WHAT ARE YOU - wait

[lcafman]

closed starter for @scoutsarcher ! !

" get your head out of your ass , nod . get your act together , nod . " the soldier scoffed bitterly under his breath from his position on the branch . lily , his faithful sparrow , sent him a sideways tilt of her head . she had heard his mutterings a million times before , forever the victim of hearing his mockings of ronin whenever they had an argument . nod shot her a glance , " . . . don't look at me like that ! "

if birds could shrug and remark that their riders were " hardasses " that could " stand to listen to their superiors more often " , nod was sure lily would . that , or say " seed ? seed ? food ? seed ? " one of the two .

but for this moment in time , it felt like the world was against him ( as it often did after nod picked a fight with his father figure ) . he heaved a sigh as he leaned against the trunk of the tree , lifting his fingers to measure the distance between the sun and the horizon . one and a half finger breadth . his shift would be done soon .

. . . shit , maybe ronin was right . maybe he could stand to listen more , be more accepting of criticism that was , even to his own admission , often well deserved and coming from a place of love . maybe even a smidge more humility would do him a world of go -

what was that ?

ripped from his thoughts , nod squinted against the setting sun to attempt to locate the glimmer that had passed his periphary . he straightened up . boggans didn't ' glitter ' , so it certainly wasn't that . hell , he could've swore he heard bells .

oh , for fucks sake .

it wasn't even worth unsheathing his sword . he did , however , hop to the nearby tree branch just a few feet over to attempt to catch sight of the intruder . there again , a couple of branches up , stood a blonde fairy on high alert . he rolled his eyes . " hello ! yeah , hi , down here ! can i help you , or are you just trespassing for fun ? "
