DETECTIVE PIKACHU;

send one for my muse's reaction!

“You hear that? Something’s close.” “See? This is what I’m talking about. My heart is pounding.“ “Dude, I thought you wanted to, you know, hang out and relive the good old days.“ “Just look at it. That is the perfect Pokemon for you.” “Okay, thank you, [NAME]. Thank you for that. Are there any other emotional truth-bombs you wanna drop on me?“ “I’m worried about you.“ “Please don’t put this all on yourself. No one should go through this type of thing alone.” “Are you trying to rob me, or just annoy me?” “Something’s rotten, and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.” “Okay, okay, okay. Whoever you are, I know how to use this.“ “Okay, I’m gonna get a knife.“ “Okay, bad idea with the knife. I’ll find something else.“ “No! No! I’m not going in the trash chute.” “Oh. Looks like someone’s back in a good mood.” “You’re adorable.“ “It’s like destiny.“ “It’s not destiny.“ “You want a coffee? 'Cause I could use a coffee.“ “I could stop whenever I want. These are just choices.” “Look, I’m a great detective. But I can’t solve my own mystery if I have no memory.” “It’s the jellies. It’s that thing, you know? You feel it when you really believe in something despite everyone telling you you’re wrong.” “No, I’m gonna go. We’re done here.” “Hold up a sec. We’re gonna need each other.” “I don’t need a Pokemon. Period. Got it?” “There’s magic that brought us together, and that magic is called hope.“ “Oh, you feel it. You feel it in your jellies, don’t you?” “There’s nothing in my jellies.“ “We’re gonna do this. You and me.” “Should we talk about the fact that your childhood bed is a Pikachu bed?” “I’ve never been so flattered and creeped out at the same time.” “Uh, I was drinking that.“ “Just step anywhere. It’s only my life’s work.“ “I can see why you were so excited.” “I was… [scoffs] Okay, I was not that excited.” “Hey, again. Uh… Yeah, I know this seems weird but I actually needed to ask you something.” “This isn’t an office. It’s a coffin with pencils.” “The docks can be dangerous. It’s not the sort of place you want to visit alone at night.” “I’m actually pretty good at being alone at night.” “That’s not… That’s not what I meant to say. Um… I’m just gonna…” “We need to get some ground rules if this partnership's gonna work.” “You’re not my partner.“ “My problem is that I push people away and then hate them for leaving.” “He’s saying you can shove it.“ “Real cooking is about following your heart, not a recipe!” “All I hear are consonants, and all I see are nipples.” “Here. Hold my hat. I’m about to rock this place.“ “What are you doing? What is your plan of attack?” “I forgot everything you said! I forget things, it’s what I do! I have amnesia!” “It’s not working. I forgot how to use my powers.“ “Are you crazy? Get out of there!” “No, I’m not in denial! I’m right, I know it!” “It wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t anybody’s fault.” “I haven’t been really nice to you.” “Well, there’s no such thing as “daddy issues" without “daddy”.” “What’s with the sunglasses?“ “There’s nothing really casual about this.” “Eh, that sounds like a waste of coffee.” “So let me get this right. We’re forced to listen to this spa music so your head doesn’t explode and kill us all.” “Hey, you put that down. I am not giving you a massage.” “I may have amnesia, but I’m pretty sure this is the worst idea anyone’s ever had.” “This is no time for your stupid headaches.“ “I officially hate this forest.“ “That’s a great fifth option. Let’s work on the first four.” “I’m here, partner. I’m here.“ “You’re gonna be okay.” “You have to go on without me.“ “You’re better off on your own.“ “No! No! I need you. Please.“ “You have to stay away. It’s for your own good.” “No. I’m not letting you go.“ “You see? I can’t help it. I hurt the people who need me. That’s who I am. I’m sorry.“ “You tried to kill him!“ “You think you can stand in the way of the future?” “Give me your hand!“ “I didn’t need to defeat you. I just needed to distract you.“ “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I pushed you away just when you needed me the most.” “I’m just happy you’re back.” “Meet me later tonight?“ “You think I can stay with you for a while?”

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE?

Freshly Baked Bread

key words: warm, inviting, kindness. you are the definition of cooking as a loved language and are at your strongest when creating something. others find you soothing to be around and feel at ease due to your genuine warmth and nurturing nature. you can be a mix of gentle and passionate, but it's that intensity that lives at the centre of your spirit that draws people to you most.

compatible with: candle smoke, coffee, rosewater. 

[dalamusrex]

"Oh! Dalamus, I was gonna --" Tommy stopped mid-sentence, brows furrowing in confusion. Something about the mer's scent was off. Really off. So off that for a moment, the boy thought he had mistaken someone else for Dalamus. But no, there he was - definitely Dalamus... but somehow not.

Dalamus’ ears fell a bit, positive Tommy could tell that something had changed. Why did he feel somehow lesser for not being a vampire any longer? As if his friends and family might be disappointed to learn he was.. just a Dunmer now.

“I know, I must smell different. My, ah.. the greymages ‘cured’ me of my vampirism, supposedly temporarily.” He gave a guilty smile, but offered a hug. “It is frightening to be suddenly stripped of it.”

[lifesadogfight]

Tommy’s eyes widened in surprise, a sudden chill of fear trailing down his spine. Greymages could take things like that away? Concern soon replaced the surprise, with Tommy worried that it may have had a negative affect on Dalamus’ overall health.

“Are ya okay?”

[lifesadogfight]

Ma? Pa? Rowley? Haren?

...a friend said that y’all could hear me, up there in the Grounds, 'n I’d like to think she’s right. She might work at a Hall for Arkay, but he seems to know a good deal about the dead himself, 'n I don’t see why Hircine wouldn’t let ya hear me. Y’all were always good Wolves for ‘im. Shame ya can’t say anythin’ back to me, though, cause I could use some advice. Or a lot of advice, really. 

It’s... it’s lonely now. Empty.  And it’s hard. Y’all bein’ gone. I know you always told us that one day you weren’t gonna be there ‘n we’d be on our own, but... it never seemed like it was gonna happen... the... the way that it did.

Ella’s safe. I made sure of it. She’s with Una ‘n Greda out at the mill, but she’s been talkin' about maybe going up to that mage College in Winterhold. I don’t like the thought of her being so far from me, but Greda said it’ll do her some good. Give her some confidence ‘n help her grow up ‘n be an independent woman. I suppose they’d know more about that kind of stuff than I would, but I still get worried when I think about it.

The ones that took ya from us, they’re... they’re dead. I... I wasn’t the one who did it. Someone else had to. It don’t feel right that it’s how it went down, but... I dunno if I’d would’a had the strength to do it myself anyway. Didn’t bring ya back, though. Didn’t make me feel any better knowin’ they were gone. I mean... sure, they ain’t gonna be the ones hurtin’ folk like us anymore, but there’s always more, ain’t there?

Cleaned up the house, locked it up too, but... I dunno if we’ll ever be able to go back inside. Maybe someday, but... but not anytime soon. It still hurts too much. It hurts just thinkin’ about it.

❝ You are far too hard on yourself, Hla Shud. ❞

[Prompt]

“Well, I gotta be, don’t I? Otherwise I ain’t nothin’ more than some monster to the damn world.”

[lifesadogfight]

❝ You’re here! I was beginning to think you weren’t going to make it! ❞

[Prompt]

“Sorry I’m late, I got caught up with trainin’ and lost track of time.”

[lifesadogfight]

❝ You are far too hard on yourself ❞

[Prompt]

“Cause I gotta be,” he murmured, still frustrated with the failed task. He let out a sigh and rubbed his face with his hands. Standing, he headed towards the kitchen. “I need a snack. Ya hungry?”

[lifesadogfight]

“I don’t mind sharing the blankets with you.”

[Prompt]

“Sorry I mucked the others up. I’ll wash ‘em in the morning, I promise.”

[lifesadogfight]

"Everyone else believes in you. Why should you not?"

[Prompt]

“Cause I know m’self better than others do.”

[lifesadogfight]

“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.”

[Prompt]

“It ain’t a fever, Elspeth, I’m always warm,” he countered weakly. He couldn’t get sick, that much he knew. But he had been unable to keep food down all morning and he was starting to wonder if his Wolf had gotten into something sour... or something poisonous. 

“I just gotta get some fresh air an’ some water an’ I’ll be good as new. Ain’t no need to worry.”

You are what you eat [Tommy/Halldis]

[lifesadogfight]

wandererfromthenorth‌:

Halldis did not consider herself a finicky eater by any means, however there were lines that oughtn’t be crossed. And eating the anus of anything was one of those lines.

Of course, it was clear now that it had been a joke, and that perhaps her reaction had been a bit stronger than necessary. She gave a short, embarrassed laugh, and tried to ignore the heat rising in her face. Bo or Tort would have had something equally clever to say to Tommy’s pun, but this was not Halldis’ strong suit, “I know I’m not so good a cook as Arlow, but I should hope it would be better than arse.”

She glanced at him, brows furrowing, “…Have you eaten it before?”

“I think yer a good cook,” he countered, giving her a half-offended look before settling back down in his seat. At her question, he paused for a moment, trying to think of any specific time he might have eaten arse before.

“Well... not like this, I suppose,” he eventually offered, slightly hesitant in his delivery. The Breton frowned, before uncomfortably shifting his seat. “I figure my Wolf ain’t got much of a care, so it’s possible.”

The humor gone from the moment, Tommy stood, and stoked the fire some before gathering some potatoes.

“What are we gonna cook, then? To keep me from bein’ an ass an’ starvin’ over here.”

Helping Hand [Tommy/Bergitte]

[lifesadogfight]

southronsongbird‌:

There was a moment of surprised hesitation after he took the bolt from her. That was not what she had expected at all, and in truth, she felt rather bad. Bergitte still for a moment, as if wanting to make sure he really meant to carry it on his own. It would be easy enough for them each to take an end if it turned out to be too much, but it seemed he was managing quite well on his own.

“Thank you so much,” she smiled, and started up the road again, wiping the sweat from her brow, “Usually the dock workers help me, but it seems they were too busy today, lots of shipments to be unloaded I suppose. And it’s just my employers and I in the shop and…well, they don’t like to be troubled with this sort of thing.”

Kind and generous as he was, somehow she doubted that he cared all that much about the details, “…I’m Bergitte, by the way. I’m very glad to meet you.”

“Well, I can’t say I blame yer employers, these aren’t the most fun things to lug ‘round,” he replied with a short laugh and a smile. Still, he seemed not bothered by the weight or length of the bolt, and instead focused on keeping it balanced and not accidentally whacking someone in the face. 

“I’m Tommy,” the Breton replied, his smile widening slightly. “It’s nice to meet you too, Miss Bergitte. Glad I could help. Are ya... from Solitude? I could use some directions when we’re done, if it ain’t too much trouble.”

⛔️ - How does your muse react to others breaking the law? If they would do it themselves, what is their reasoning? ⏰ - Does your muse feel like they need to do things quickly or do they take their time? 🍟 - How does your muse feel about their body? Would they change it if they could?

[Prompt]

⛔️ - How does your muse react to others breaking the law? If they would do it themselves, what is their reasoning? 

Depends on which law, to be honest. Stealing is something Tommy can choose to ignore. Some folk just don’t have what they need in life, and he’s not going to judge them for it.Murder is not something he could ignore, and he would do his best to intervene.

Tommy is not likely to break the law himself, but if he did it would likely be due to a dire situation.

⏰ - Does your muse feel like they need to do things quickly or do they take their time? 

Living in a town - and now being depended on by others to get things done - makes him a little overwhelmed at times. He tries to do things quickly, but has been reassured countless times that he’s allowed to take his time.Now that he’s a little more comfortable around the rest of the Companions, and doesn’t feel the pressure of needing to Prove Himself so much, he takes his time with the tasks he feels he should take his time on.

🍟 - How does your muse feel about their body? Would they change it if they could?

Tommy used to be very comfortable about his body. After being held by the Silver Hand, however, he views some parts less than kindly, most severely the scarring he received from his time in the Silver Hand base. If he could change anything, it would be to get rid of that scarring as it only serves as a constant reminder of the family he lost, and how weak and helpless he felt (and still feels) about the entire situation.

❛ dare me to eat the anus ?? ❜ (tommy n O)

“Absolutely not!” Halldis cried in horror, shaking her head furiously. It was not often that she was disgusted by peculiar food choices, but at some point a line had to be drawn. And for Halldis, that line was drawn at the anus. She reached over, and smacked the fork out of Tommy’as hand, “I’ll not have you walking around with breath that, quite literally, smells of arse. If you’re that hungry I’ll fix something for you.”

[lifesadogfight]

Tommy cracked as soon as she spoke, the look on her face more than worth the idea of eating a deer anus. Besides, it wasn’t as if his Wolf hadn’t had him eating worse things. Laughing as she smacked the fork from his hand, he reached with his hand this time, but pulled back as she offered to cook something else.

“S’pose that’s prolly better’n makin’ an ass of myself.”

[southronsongbird]

“Do you need help with that?”

Being sent down to the docks to retrieve bolts of fabric for Endarie and Taarie was hardly out of the ordinary. Bergitte had done it many times. Most often it entailed little more than signing for the shipments, maybe paying a tariff, and then leading a couple of dock workers back to the shop. However, today, the workers had all been occupied, and she’d been left to carry three bolts on her own.

Physical labor was not her strong suit, and she’d had no choice but take them one at a time. Had they been the smaller ones, it wouldn’t have been so bad. But these were nearly as tall as she was, and horribly awkward. She’d managed to wrestle one to the shop already, and was now struggling with the second. Beads of sweat had formed on her forehead, and were now beginning to drip down her cheeks. 

“Oh…would you mind very much?” she asked, a hint of hopefulness in her voice, “I’d hate to trouble you but it’s quite heavy…I could give you some coin for your time.”

[lifesadogfight]

Tommy had only just noticed the woman struggling with the bolt of fabric, but it took him less than a second to ask to help. He had only moved fabric once before, when he helped a Khajiit repack their carriage, and he knew it was heavy for most people, especially when they were longer.

“No, it’s no trouble at all,” he answered, taking the bolt from her gently and hoisting it onto his shoulder with a grunt of effort. Steadying the fabric, he nodded towards the city.

“Lead the way?”

[lifesadogfight]

“No matter what happens, we have to stick together.”

[Prompt]

“I ain’t ever gonna leave ya behind,” he stated firmly, with a determined nod of his head. “I’d have’ta be dead before that happened.”
