Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury #1 “The Witch and the Bride”

“You mean he just decided on his own that you’re engaged?!”

[indomitableblackdragon]

"No need to get that formal. If ya' started calling me "Miss Jersey" every time we meet I feel I'd grow another 30 years without even knowing it." As if ship girls could age to begin with. But someone like Suletta didn't really need to know that...

"Just call me whatever you like the most! The other girls call me Jersey, some people call me NJ, it's all fine by me. Come on you had to get some nicknames back home didn't you?"

[mercurywitch]

☆ "A-Another 30 years? ...Does that mean you're over 30 already?" That was a lot older than Suletta had expected, so she'd kind of just blurted that out. "I-I mean! You look great for over 30! I thought you were younger!" Some people were more sensitive about age than others, so it was good to cover all her bases, right!?

Nicknames back home? "Um... Someone called me Mercurian Miss, and Miss Miorine used to call me "idiot" a lot, does that count?" It didn't happen as often these days. That was more before their reconciliation prior to the Plant Quetta incident.

"So then, M-Miss NJ?" She didn't really like to drop the Miss or Mister. She liked to be polite!

[thiefandlyre]

It was kind of the other street performers to loan Octavo the accordion when they'd noticed his interest. While the rest of the group took a break, he played on, letting himself be lulled by the push-pull motion of the instrument. He'd need to get himself one of these eventually, it had such a unique sound...

"Hmm?" He pauses as he hears the question, so in the zone he hadn't noticed her approach. "Ah, no, it's about the buttons. Opening and closing the bellows merely moves the air needed to pass over the reeds. Pressing the keys or buttons opens different valves for it to flow through, producing different notes. Incredible, isn't it?"

[mercurywitch]

☆ "I see... Based on the movements I would have assumed it was the movements from an engineering point of view, b-but I guess instruments aren't really engineered. I'm not very good when it comes to artsy stuff!" And that wasn't an understatement. She usually had to get her partner to help her with that kind of work.

"I-I don't even really know what most instruments are called, actually. Like that... I have no idea." Suletta pointed sheepishly at the very item she'd been asking about. Her understanding had been that barebones.

[dramacabre]

"You're, uh, Suletta. I remember you from that show, which-"

"Uh, yeah, we don't have to talk about that. Anyway. I'm Thomas, Andrew's boyfriend." He really didn't expect anyone else to be on the shore with him as everyone got ready to go fishing. He had his charcoals with him, fingers itching after hearing about-

"You heard about this ghost fish?"

Winterfes 25/26 -> SOMETHING SEEMS ICE-FISHY -> @mercurywitch

[mercurywitch]

☆ "Th-That show, huh...?" He must have been referring to the old GUND ARM commercial that Miorine had aired. She felt like she'd become a celebrity in a weird way, but not for being cool or anything like that! "Oh! Mister Andrew has a boyfriend! A boyfriend... B-BOYFRIEND!?" Had he not mentioned it in the past? Had she forgotten!?

If he'd been seeing someone, then being forced to be an eligible bachelor for Miorine must have been even more awkward than she'd first assumed. It was awkward for her and she was Miorine's actual fiancée! "Nice to meet you too...!"

Thankfully he changed the subject before she could let that slip out!

"Ghost fish? Is it big? I suppose I could call down Calibarn if it might be dangerous, but I'm not sure if mobile suits are allowed on the ice..."

when @hanabisays hooks you up with sulemio for your wall

[duelbride]

"Y-your..." She can feel her face heat up again. Even though she had been the one to bring up the idea of being a prince and princess, Suletta had somehow turned it back around on her. She knew her prince (and knight) wouldn't let her get hurt, and she forced herself to face Suletta.

"It is, and while nobody else knows our history, debuts are quite important-" she nearly trips literally as she stumbles over her words, with Suletta getting on one knee. They were already engaged, but she felt her heart skip a few beats, the blood rush back to her face and up to her ears, and heard her voice start sputtering-

And then Suletta got up, and was back to her normal self. Well-trained, she followed Suletta onto the dance floor properly.

"Of course, you're more a knight than a prince, anyway." Particularly with how they met.

"But, still, i....if I'm your princess, then you must be both my knight and prince. Speaking of you being more knightly-" She tilts her head, "Do you know how to dance?"

[mercurywitch]

☆ When it came to romance, Suletta had lived a pretty sheltered life. You didn't see a lot of people fall in love on Mercury's colony, and even in the rare cases that they did, Suletta wasn't in the good graces of anyone there for her to be able to observe. A lot of her impressions were from old anime from Earth, and it wasn't until she'd come to Asticassia that she'd been able expand her pool of knowledge on the subject.

She just thought the idea of a knight and a princess was romantic! She'd seen it in a lot of shows!

Honestly though, she wasn't sure why it mattered if they made a big debut. But it was something that Miorine seemed to care about, so she was going to do her utmost! "Hehe! Do you think so? You should have seen me when I dueled Mister Guel with a rapier! I bet I looked really cool and knightly!" Suletta's smile was a little silly, but she liked the idea of looking cool. More so if she could look cool for her fiancée!

When asked about dancing, Suletta paused for a moment. "W-Well... Imayhavebeentakinglessonsinsecret..." She was worried Miorine might be mad that she hadn't told her and she ended out blurting the whole reveal at once instead of presenting it in a cooler fashion like she had planned! That didn't stop her from taking Miorine's hands and pulling her close, though.

In typical Suletta fashion, she made up for her social fumbles with execution, beginning to dance in a circle after leading Miorine's one arm up and out while placing another on her hip. "Umm... Is this okay? Do you want me to try a different stance? Th-This isn't too close, is it!?"

[rudebustxr]

"Oh! You're in luck, y'know-- there's one here! His name's Shadow, and he's called a dinosaur cause he's like, really old. You gotta be really nice to him or else he gets grumpy, cause he's old. His eyesight sucks ass. He doesn't look old though, it's like, a dinosaur illusion or whatever. He's one of a kind so you'll probably never see anyone else like him-- he's short, has purple hair, talks like a nerd, and draws like crap. But he really likes hugs if you're into that!"

[phantommirrored]

"Girl, fuck off."

[mercurywitch]

☆ "...S-Sorry I asked?"

[mercurywitch]

☆ "Umm................................................"

"What's a dinosaur?"

I’m due for a GWitch rewatching bc the brainrot over these two is slowly taking over again so here’s a little animated doodle I did a week ago. Will try to be more consistent with posting 💪

Winterfes: Silver-White Winters

Andrew really tries to listen to the teacher’s lecture about how to identify different types of pine trees. About its medicinal uses. About how they should only harvest resin from trees that have already fallen, and about how the winter storms make this a perfect time of year for collecting the sap... But he’s too anxious, shifting from side to side nervously.

He thought there would be a spare handful of people in this class. As soon as more attendants than that arrive, Andrew starts to break down. Even now, he can see some of his classmates looking at him indiscreetly, wondering what his story is, no doubt. But Andrew doesn’t have a story to tell them, not one he’s willing to share at least.

When the teacher tells them to try to collect pine pitch by themselves, Andrew nearly panics until he sees a familiar mop of bright red hair. Breathing a small sigh of relief, he goes to the fallen tree Suletta is standing next to, scraping the dried resin off a broken branch with a knife.

“...I didn’t think anyone I knew would be here.” Andrew starts the conversation hesitantly. He tells his rabbiting heart to ‘calm down, it’s just Suletta—we know Suletta’ but it refuses to cooperate. It feels like there’s more pine sap in his throat than the jar he’s been scraping it off into—and with Andrew’s new anatomy, maybe there is.

Forcing out more words past the lump in his throat, Andrew tries again. “...Have you two started planning the wedding yet?”

@mercurywitch

[mercurywitch]

☆ Suletta was surprisingly attentive when it came to classroom settings. Back when she was a student at Asticassia, she was always making a point to write down as much of the lecture as she could. The last thing she had wanted to do was disappoint anyone who might have been counting on her to succeed like her mom, so she was always doing her best!

She didn't really know what pine trees were good for. They definitely didn't have them on Mercury, and she'd never been to Earth even if she wanted to live there with Miorine someday. Her time in Spirale was the closest experience she'd had... assuming it was Earth, anyways. So, she'd been trying to learn as much as she could!

The pilot squeaked when she was approached outside. She'd been so fixated on the lesson that she hadn't been paying attention to who else was in attendance. "O-Oh! It's Mister Andrew!" She bowed apologetically while dressed in a fluffy coat and snow pants. "Mhm! I was wondering if pine might be useful to GUND ARM INC! W-Well, I'm not sure if it really is, but it's still good to learn new things!"

She fiddled with her own jar when he brought up the wedding, but clearly almost dropped it the moment the topic came up. "O-Oh! Well... Haha... I guess it's still a little strange to be thinking about planning one, e-even though I'm the one..." That ended up proposing in the end. "Miss Miorine is busy getting things ready for her company, so I didn't want to feel like I'm being too pushy..."

Suletta? Overthinking things to the point of inaction? Perish the thought.

[mercurywitch]

@thiefandlyre

☆ "Is that an instrument? I've never seen one like that before..." Suletta had heard someone playing a song and had gone to investigate. It wasn't a sound she could recall hearing before, and stumbling across the source left her even more confused. It was an accordion, an instrument she had legitimately never seen before in her sheltered life.

"Do you just pull and push it in and out? Does the angle affect the sound?"

[mercurywitch]

@computerqueen

☆ "Hm... I don't think you were made with GUND technology, were you? Are you being piloted? Mmm... No, right?" Suletta wasn't much of an engineer when compared to better studied members of GUND-ARM INC, when it came to robots specifically she had spent her entire life caring for Aerial. She had a good sense of things.

"You... You aren't a human soul that was uploaded into a machine either, I'm guessing?" That'd be a little too close to home if it was the case! "...I give up."

[mercurywitch]

@indomitableblackdragon

☆ "Um... I've been wondering since the last time we met. How do you want me to refer to you...?" It was usually easy enough. Suletta just added Miss or Mister in front of whoever she was talking to, and that theoretically could be applied in the older woman's case, but...

"Miss Jersey? Miss... New? Miss NJ? Hm... Which do you prefer?" You could probably just drop the "Miss"!

[mercurywitch]

@inablinkgone

☆ "O-Oh, you saw Miss Miorine's promotional video, huh...?" Suletta had wondered why a stranger had approached her all of a sudden like he'd seen her somewhere before. That made sense, but the reasoning was kind of embarrassing... Wait! She'd been told that her performance was endearing, so maybe other people actually liked it!? Which meant...!

"C-Could you want my autograph!? I've never given one before!"

[mercurywitch]

its been a while so like this for a small suletta starter! no particular themeing, i'll just go with whatever feels like a good idea for our characters!

[mercurywitch]

The JP version of the GUND ARM INC video was in yesterday's Tenna post but the dubbed version is also very good in its own right.
