Eret swallowed thickly at Techno's words, shuffling her feet slightly. "Right, that's fine with me-" Her own voice wavered as she grabbed Techno's hand and led xem away from the crowd and into a quieter corner, face darkening by the second.

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. If things went south later, Eret could blame the drinks they'd had. Or if it really came down to it, Eret could make up some other excuse. Later. When their brain wasn't going a mile a minute.

Achilles didn't know what to expect, their heart racing. It felt unreal, being dragged off to somewhere quiet, it was much more content being in a quieter area. Shadows drooped over them as they went towards a corner. This Cupid's game was a bit silly, pulling strangers names from out of nowhere and expecting to provide evidence. Someone had signed Techno up for this as well, something xe didn't wish to participate in at all. Not in the slightest. Yet Eret had been different, their name was pulled and gave them this opportunity.

Still, pulling themselves out of deep thought, Eret had seemed to be a bubbling mess, anxious and fidgeting with anything possible. A chuckle slipped by.

Techno was also extremely nervous yet had played it off, staying quiet as Eret rambled on for a bit. Considering it was to be a kiss, the mask would have to go. As nerve-wrecking as it'd be, xe trusted the other. As it slipped off, Techno's dark brown eyes stared at the other and unluckily for Eret, the faint freckles couldn't be seen at all thanks to lighting. There wasn't anything all that remarkable but hiding their face was safe, felt comforting in an odd way. "I don't mind the mask being off, around you anyway." Techno confesses, feeling slight heat latch onto the cheeks and awkwardly looking away. "And I'm afraid I hadn't pulled your name otherwise I would have informed you much sooner. I ended up pulling a name I do not recognize at all...I'll try find them at some point." A distraction from the inevitable, knowing evidence had to also be provided. Teeth fidgeted with the back of their lip piercing until suddenly stopping.

"If it makes you feel better...I'm just as nervous as you are, I just don't present it." Xe hummed and finally took the courage to gaze at Eret, facing the individual properly. She looked magnificent, as always, enchanting even. Something about the beauty had shimmers of Aphrodite reflecting into bare skin, Eret was someone blessed by her. It was undeniable and no poem could ever articulate the emotions that pumped in their heart.

Tonight was the night.

Techno was going to kiss Eret. "Take your time, ready when you are, alright?" Their face becoming slightly more red and not exactly able to deny it now the mask was off. It was in their hands and pressed against xyr chest, granting Eret a smile of assurance and comfort. It was all going to be okay.

First Kiss / Cupid's Arrow

// Event Thread with @protesilauslegacy //

Eret's face had paled slightly when he saw the name on the card he'd drawn, any fuzziness from the drinks earlier seeming to melt away into sobriety.

Techno? A dizziness rushed over him and he exhaled shakily, eyes drifting over the other partygoers.

Techno never expected xemselves to be surrounded by drunken individuals and a crowd filled with chaos. Music blurred and smeared into the atmosphere. Quackity was the reason xe even stuck around, was told to lighten up even. Have some fun they were told. Achilles could have been productive doing work but alas, apparently it was good to socialize every now and again. There were so many people that xe didn't recognize and a few that had familiar colours and features, a statement to help Achilles recognize them.

Techno wasn't even in usual attire, Quackity having dolled the individual up for this party. Even working around the fact xe was insistent on wearing the bone mask. Xe stood out more in the crowd, getting comments from various people due to what was worn. Having entered the party entrance a while ago with Quackity clung onto their arm, they soon departed from each other as Ducktape scattered off somewhere almost immediately. Probably to mingle with the friends created and xe wasn't going to interfere or bother Quackity.

Where was Achilles in the midst of this glorious party then? In the distance, you can find xem in a corner, drink in hand. They weren't planning on getting drunk, maybe tipsy. It was the second drink after all by the time it reached the current moment. Achilles hummed and soon enough felt a hand against their shoulder, having been talking with a drunk Quackity at that point, shooing her towards Samuel's direction. "Eret, I hadn't expected you here otherwise I would have-" Their sentence broke off however at the sight of their name. Techno had been somewhat aware of a game being played and it involved a kiss. Eyes widen and Techno approached a bit closer, the atmosphere feeling tight. Emotions were, and always will be, complicated but if something was clear, Eret was different.

Safe.

Techno gazed at the individual carefully before finally giving a response. "We can do it. Just- I don't want to be around people." Xe wasn't sure how to feel, the anxiety and nerves drowning them. Kissing Eret, that felt so odd. Their heart skipped numerous beats, squeezing and tugging on the body. Achilles fidgeted with the shirt worn, eyes stared through the bone mask. "We have to play by the rules, right?" A crack visible in their voice. Technoblade, the scary hog, the delusional mutterer, the Blade xemself...nervous? Achilles wouldn't have ever guessed to be in this predicament, god maybe it was a bad idea to usher Quackity away so quickly. She would have been the perfect scapegoat for this awkward scenario. It'd also mean that Techno ran away and xe didn't like that. It hadn't sat comfortably with xem so here, Techno will face it onwards, commit to it. "Unless you're uncomfortable with it. We can avoid this if you're not comfortable at all, no pressure." They realized they have been been a bit blunt and pushy, bright red in the face. Thank goodness for masks covering their face. Witnessing Erets however, it didn't seem all that bad.

Random Headcanon

Techno tends to make random Noises around Dream. They sometimes just mimic each other two, especially in private. They mess around with the various noises they create and xe likes to vocal stim a lot around Dream. Feels relaxed and comfortable doing so more than anything :D

Random Headcanon

George and Techno exchange origami. They watch tutorials together and learnt how to make them and its like their own secret message exchanges. Sometimes there's hidden messages/poems within the piece and it allows them to explore a new perspective about them and the origami as its usually connected to whatever shape it had come in originally

Now, Techno isn't particularly one to interact with Niki. They're...

Complicated.

Old rivals from earlier academic years, competing for top marks. It left a bitter aftertaste and yet xe still respected Niki enough to not cause drama. They remain civil despite the differences. Xe wouldn't wish ill upon her, they admired the intellect the other held, how clever and innovative she is. One simply couldn't deny that and maybe that's why when seeing Niki suddenly with a fresh mark decorating skin, there was a silent rage, forgetting their past rivalry for the time being.

"Are you alright? Who...did this?" Xe cared. Xe truly cared. Hadn't mattered who they would be, Achilles knew Niki wasn't someone deserving of anything like this. Once xe found out who did it? They'll be believing in God by the time Techno is done. Merciless and cold, for the hog will be given the title after the encounter with whoever thought this was okay.

TW - Mentions of blood & general violence.

Achilles found xemselves in a situation that was conflicting. Aching even. Voices began to chant, chant that they crave blood, craving the blood of the innocent.

They demanded and howled, wanting anger to spill out in pools of empty, raw rage. Eyes were wide as xe inspected the bruising that littered along the face and arms of their dear friend. Silence was deafening, screeching in that uncomfortable eerie manner. Techno wasn't sure what to say, how to breathe in this suffocating atmosphere. George's body simply hid into Techno's, disgusted and disguising the fear and anxiety that clearly weighed him. Xe calculated responses.

Achilles had to say something, nothing escaped other than the images of blood on the face of the one that hurt George. Picturing the beauty of a broken body mangled in bruises that mirrored George's and also drowning in blood. It couldn't be done however. Techno had an arm carefully placed on the others back, circles idly drawn with xyr thumb. George couldn't know what was happening, what made their heart thump.

Xyr breathing slightly irregular as thoughts became louder. "You'll be okay. I'm sorry for what happened. I wasn't there." Techno says, monotone throughout yet if close, there was the underlays of concern. Pure concern. Sure, Achilles expressing it was tough but xe cared. Cared too much. And will ensure blood is spilled, so much damn blood.

// "Studying Until Midnight" Thread with @alphavelvetcake //

When Techno had offered help and assistance out to a familiar face - an individual that xe helps study - they weren't entirely sure what material they were going over. It happened in a frantic rush, remembering Redd approaching over whilst in a conversation with Quackity. It seemed they was having problems and needed to catch up with work that dangled far behind, unable to have a days rest, requesting Achilles for assistance. Quackity glanced between the duo before Techno gave a confirmation of helping the other out, it was the decent thing to do plus Redd is a quick learner. People seemed to view Achilles as a strong mentor figure or as the scary monster that went around in useless circles.

Rumors are pointless nowadays and yet the blog was something that loved chatting up shit. It was bizarre given the circumstances but as of recent? Techno hadn't heard anything being spoken about so that was a good sign.

Waiting in the library, they had arranged a day over some simple text messages and Achilles waited.

Waited.

And Waited.

It was roughly 30 minutes after the time the duo were meant to meet up. It was actually a little concerning. Xe sent a text message over but no reply as of wait. Achilles is a pretty patient person and time ticked. They weren't expecting Redd to show up at this rate and was proven wrong when a familiar figure slumped downwards in the chair opposite them. Looking worn out and exhausted, Techno raised an eyebrow. Whilst xe couldn't speculate properly what had happened, Redd looked way too tired, out of breath and overall purely exhausted. The individual had gone into the shoulder bag to pull out a protein bar, sliding it over to them as well as a bottle of water. Quackity gave xem extras and figured xe could use the food and drink. Even if it was little, it'd be something. He was slowly collecting his breath and Techno waited, sending idle texts to Quackity considering she was curious about the scenario that displayed. Techno told her. Hands tapped against the phone until pocketing it and speaking up finally. "How you feeling?"

Now, Achilles isn't one for words, words were difficult. At least verbally. So, there had been silent communication, actions speaking louder than any sort of language. "When you're ready, we can start studying, alright? Take your time." Achilles spoke softly, eyes flickering through the library. They were tucked away in a secluded area, a corner that Techno had found middle of first year and now always camped whenever possible. Even when other bodies loved harassing Achilles with unnecessary questions. Though, for now, xe pulled a book out, the material they had supposedly meant to study and started to catch up, ensuring that the info was stored in their head.

One thing was for sure.

Techno wasn't expecting a card from the usual reading buddy that allocated himself to sit next to xem. Karl handed over candy and a dumb yet sweet card that was goofy. It was like Karl and honestly? It was nice, xe takes it and smiled softly. "Thanks Karl."

Is that the guy that I hear a ton of shit about? He doesn't even seem that bad-

George has strange taste in friends but who am I to judge, he somehow befriended me.

#Mnemosyne #Nyx #Firecracker

💭

Redd seems more tired as of lately...

Today's session seemed to go well. Xe clearly knows the material, they're smart.

Second time he's drifted off now. Better keep him warm with my coat. I'll finish my book off instead, seems like xe needs it.

#Mnemosyne #Nyx #RedVelvet

💭

How the fuck is he cold to the touch? Even when he hugs me- it's insane.

Nyx seems to be worried about George. Unsure why, he's capable of handling himself but I'll keep her at ease and ask how he is
