dudes I had the most troubling dream last niiiight 😩😩😩

I was on this sinking ship trying to get out but couldn't as the water was rising in the room I was in. I was trying to break through any opening at all but nothing would budge as the water continued to riiiisseeeee 😩😩

as soon as the room became completely submerged I was trying to hold my breath for as long as possible only for my body to force myself to gasp for air!

TO FIND OUT --I could breathe???

I looked around baffled as I am now able to just stand in the room as if it was normal, as if this ship isn't currently plummeting to the ocean floor.

to then realize

I was already dead

before the room even filled up with water orz

I was just a ghost in a sinking ship that is about to smash into the ocean floor

and

I was suddenly extremely chill about it all

this dream reset and repeated over and over and over and ovveeerrrrrrrrr again

WHAT

what am I even supposed to make of this dream brooooooo

[sulituayyn]

I heard your requests are open sooo👀

Maybe could you draw FoolsAlice 👉👈

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!!!

I’m 100% finishing this but I thought I owed you a WIP for the fantastical request!

[mintytealfox]

I am so relieved to find out that Norton had friends as a kid and helps them out behind the scenes so that the friendship dynamic doesn't change ;; and he is so sad the they aren't as close as they used to be and trying to mend that OH MY GOSH

bro is such a good dude towards those he cares about like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

----

and he severely regrets what happened with Benny and even warns people that friendships and relationships are most important

I aM WEEEPING

[mintytealfox]

Some stuff I found on Twit that Norton is saying on the current event ;;

NORTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

LINK

And her is the LINK for the second one

Fine I am being convinced that Benny and Norton were extremely close and greatly cared for each other FINE I will relent that Benny actually cared for Norton and wasn't just using him FIIINNEEEE ;;

[mintytealfox]

I was listening to music on random again, as I do when hunting for story stuff to think about, and I came across this song that sounds like people are hanging out and dancing and having an overall BLAST and it makes me wonder if, in the Eternal Manor, they get these once in a blue moon nights of peace and fun.

Like the boss is gone for the night lets party vibes -wheeze- (I mean we get those deduction skin voting and partying sooooo~)

Picturing all the characters just grabbing things from under floorboards and other hidden places and all collecting in the big dining hall, (that we got to see in the recent Cage of Yesteryear), and partying like its the 1910s and 1920s again ;w; dancing and drinking and playing pool and other games you would see in those times as well~

and it also got me thinking that since a lot of the characters are from aroouuuunnnd similar time periods, what about those that are from different times like Lucky Guy for example looking like he is from the 1980s -wheeze- Doing those wild 1980s dances like the 'shopping cart' , break dancing, and the WORM type of dances -WHEEEEZE-

Just the IMAGE of Lucky Guy doing the worm (or rather, trying to PFF) on the floor and Norton stopping in his tracks to stare at him and just 'whaaaat are you DOING...????"

----------

When it comes to the Da Capo group and I can see Alice, Melly, Frederick, and Orpheus being more familiar to the upper crust way of partying which was more along the lines of waltzing, gossip, drinking, upright and all that.

But all four of them have likely experienced a proper party or two like when Melly was still a maid and living with her family I bet that had some fire parties during town festivals and such with jigs and reels and all that which is what Norton is most familiar with~ Some of the poorest towns and places knew how to get together and throw a dang good community party heh (when I think about it I think Fredrick still hasn't been to a proper party actually lol)

In Norton's og community, that he grew up in, he likely stayed in a corner and watched not feeling overly welcome because of the bad wrap his dad got and now him in his father's place. But once he could go out to other mining communities, where he could start fresh and was only going to be working there for a short while before moving to his next job, he would probably be a great conversationalist and genuinely enjoy his time~ I still don't see him dancing lol (likely having a good excuse of his lungs hurting him ;; ) but I bet he knows all the dances after watching and studying everyone ;;

ANYWAYS

the song lol

"Alice is Dead"

The past few days had been a complete blur; Alice knew she had been pulling strings and favors to remove her, Norton Campbell, and Melly Plinius from the newspaper headlines after the manor went up in flames. Apparently the Kreiburgs had the same idea when it came to Frederick's involvement (he still held the name Kreiburg even disowned after all). The only name left was Orpheus but even then that was only an alias for him; his true identity still remained hidden away behind his own secrets.

"So...what are you gonna do now?" The gruff voice of Norton Campbell broke her trance. She had been staring off into space a lot over the last few days.

"I'm...not sure..." She answered honestly. For the first time in a long time she wasn't sure. Her focus had always been on the manor, her friend's whereabouts, and the events of the past. Now it was up in smoke and she felt an overwhelming wave of grief coming over her.

The sudden feeling of rough hands gently grabbing hers away from her teeth brought her back again. Norton held onto hers firm but gentle; he was no longer trying to put up a veneer of hostility to drive people away.

Alice looked up and in his eyes; Orpheus had done a number on Norton in their fight. The Prospector nearly losing his life as Alice watched from her hiding place, frozen, until the ax was raised and the words were spoken:

"Thank you kind sir..." Suddenly she felt her feet move and hand move to her camera. A single flash immediately stopped Orpheus, forcing him to drop the ax before she grabbed it and used the blunt end to hit him in the head, sending him to the ground and off of Norton.

It was over before she knew it and Orpheus who looked up at her with those same eyes he had as a boy and in those eyes was a sense of betrayal. She had hit him. She had hurt him.

This was the point where she realized nothing would ever truly go back to what it once was.

Had she always wished for that?

Norton was alive though. Bloody, but alive.

He was healing, the bruises were fading and cuts healing. The biggest change though was that one of his eyes had turned color. The eye that was scarred from the mining disaster looked darker almost black while the one on the other side of his face had remained the beautiful green color it originally was. It was almost symbolic as Norton now seemed to have changed...or let something go or becoming whole.

"Alice is dead..." she muttered. Norton's eyebrow raised.

"I...what?"

She sighed.

"Alice DeRoss is...was my real name...It still is but officially Alice DeRoss was declared dead and died in a fire in an orphanage years ago."

"Alice...hmm...you look like an Alice," Norton mused. "I remember hearing about the manor massacre at some point as a kid. Lots of talk of a "cursed girl" then nothing.."

"People are beginning to board the ship" Mrs. Plinius announced. She had secured all three of them tickets to a middle class room on a ship leaving for America. Norton and Alice stood up, grabbing what little belongings they decided to take with them.

For now they would go to America and work with Melly Plinius as her assistants for research or so the cover story that Alice had come up with would say.

They had to lay low for awhile; even Alice had to admit that the amount of power and money behind the games was something that put her in over her head but it pained her to have to let it go. Where was the justice in this? In running? What about the victims of the games?

"Y'know..." Norton started. "I don't think you're cursed or anything. If it hadn't been for you saving my ass I'd be in a ditch somewhere rotting. I think it was pretty damn lucky you were there."

"Are you trying to flirt Mr. Campbell?" Melly asked with a subtle playfulness in her voice. Norton only let out a 'hmph' before moving along, his cheeks are little red. The younger woman let out a small chuckle; they've really only known each other for a short period of time and already the three of them were teasing each other.

Alice looked back at London before boarding to another life. She hoped that when Orpheus...Orphy healed he'd find his own new path independent of her while she found a path independent of the manor. For now it was time the both of them had to let go.

Alice DeRoss is dead after all.

(author of AU is @mintytealfox please check her out her works are priceless!)

~✧

Hii! So, in two words, I really wanted to show some appreciation to Minty' work and art, with her being one of the artists that showed me Nortalice at first, capturing me into the trap of love to that pairing!

While sketching in free from academy exams time, I drew those two with some fan designs for recently created by Minty space AU.

Kinda just my vision of these two, LMAO </3

~✧

~ ξ⊗‿-ʖ-⊗)ξ ♡ ຽ(`⊕◡⊕’) ~

So, yeah, that's kinda how those two appeared. Tho it is a pretty wobbly rough sketch, and probs designs won't make much sense, but it was really fun to sketch them even so! ✧

I hope you won't mind that I'm drawing them- but notify me if you do, I'll take that into consideration for the future!

Below this point there's mostly rambling about some thoughts behind designing these two, so feel free to skip if not interested! ^^

Tried to add as much as possible details of Fallen Star for Nort, the jacket, shoes (got a headcanon that the stars on toe protection part formed thanks to time and buildup of minerals while he was floating after accident), technical belts, all that.

He's kinda supposed to have more of a uniform while still on a ship, but the one you can put on spacesuit, or carry some instruments if needed, hinting that he was still on a ship when accident occured

Was thinking of Fallen Star' star-shaped bracelet construction on left forearm as parts from tracking devise, maybe the star itself is the one(?) while still damaged in the future, but still working thanks to survival of some crucial parts

(or maybe the core star of future Norton consumed crucial part of the tracker freezing it in time in a way? Who knows, just ideas!)

~ ✧

As for our sunshine Alice, I was sketching with a thought of her's kinda more day-to-day outfit, still suitable for journalism and different surface conditions, giving her needed mobility, but not too bulky or too technical as with Nort. She partly has the same as Nortons jacket (Fallen Star' one) pattern on pants and shirt (I'm really bad with names of clothes types even with my first language, so English suffers from it too, sorry), star symbols as of indicating on space journalist job, hidden pockets on insides of jacket, and shoulder bag with camera and some documentaries of info, besides other handy stuff

Tried to cooperate serious but still welcoming, trustful, almost pure feeling needed in journalism, and still kinda catch her essence and silhouette from the game- dunno if it really worked in the end, lmao </3

Anyhow, I really hope you found it catching, interesting or at least fun!

Thank you for the attention!

[mintytealfox]

sorry I haven't been posting

allergies

they have been WHACKING me into oblivionnnnnnn my head huuuuurts pff 😭😭😭

[mintytealfox]

a quick little something for today~

Norton being frustrated he is stuck outside of Alice's ship cause he hasn't figured out how to get to a size that can fit inside and hold it (he will figure it out and be able to hang out with her all the time inside lol). So he is mad at himself not being able to be next to his beautiful, nice, lovely, wonderful, golden visitor lol

But this being one of the first glimpses of an OG Norton expression and Alice finding some relief in seeing that grumpy lost in thought trying to solve this puzzle face lol Her Norton isn't gone~
