"How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness, how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon...?" -- Dr. Seuss --- Independent Ekko RP blog (from League of Legends) OC Friendly, Everything Tagged, Everyone Welcome
“Tch,” he scoffed, as though her words meant nothing to him, but his tune changed quickly when a rock appeared out of nowhere for her to sit on. Immediately, he was put off, shifting to a slightly more defensive stance in the event she was an enemy. “Who are you?”
Whoever she was, she could be a threat. Ice powers -- or powers, in general -- never meant good, especially when one was in the middle of freaking nowhere, surrounded by snow and ice and cold. “What are you doing here?”
She looked at the boy wandering through the snow, alone. Zaunites. She could tell by his looks. Lissandra tilted her head, a smirk growing upon her lips.
Snow was rare, if nonexistent, in his home; always too hot for snow. This was beyond cold... Freezing. Frigid. Gelid. “Ugh!” His arms were wrapped around himself, pulling himself in tight as though he was trying to keep a grasp on the warmth before it escaped. But, it always did.
And then came a voice. He registered the presence of another before he could think about the words. Ekko stopped dead in his tracks and met eyes with the Ice Queen. He attempted a smirk, though it was very forced and he didn’t try to hide that it was. “Los-st? Y-You’d have to be going so-somewhere to get lost, righ-right?”
Instinctively, he pulled the chain on the Z-Drive. A subconscious habit, almost like paranoia.
Stumbling to regain his footing, Ezreal looked up to their opponents. Ekko had left both of them exposed and vulnerable. It was the perfect set up and gave Ezreal the opening he needed. The explorer bent his knees and lifted his left hand, clenching his gauntlet into a fist which glowing blue energy spread out from.
“Hyaaa!”
Ezreal fired a bright golden wave of magic that swept through Vayne and Zyra. The direct attack took down both enemies and instantly scored him a double kill. Breathing a sigh of relief he turned back to Ekko, gave his support a pat on the shoulder and grinned. “Heh, seems we make a good pair!”
Ekko stepped back, allowing the attack kill their opponents. He rubbed a finger under his nose and laughed triumphantly as the announcer yelled, “Double Kill!” over Summoner’s Rift. Make them think twice before messing with him.
He glanced sideways at Ezreal, the smile remaining but his eyebrow twitching. “Watch it, Piltie.” He started towards the next turret, whacking out minions as he walked. “Just ‘cause we won this one, doesn’t mean we’re all buddy-buddy now. C’mon.”
He gestured to the turret, running under as soon as minions were there. “Let’s try to get this turret down before they’re back.”
Ezreal had to follow up before he could even question Ekko’s strategy. Zyra quickly maneuvered away from the Timewinder allowing him to Arcane Shift directly at Vayne, landing perfectly positioned to strike her with his magic. Though the attacks hit hard, the Night Hunter still retained more health than Ezreal had started with, and she called out to her support ready to fight back, raising her weapon.
It was a tight spot. Ezreal backed off to the side of the lane as best he could but had used up all his mana, and Vayne was rapidly approaching. The explorer lost his balance as roots sprouted in front of him, Zyra cackled as he fell to the ground. Both enemies closed in. Ezreal frantically attempted to get up and out of the way, hoping he hadn’t made a mistake trusting his partner.
He followed up to the side, letting Ezreal go for Vayne. Looks like he had a different idea, so Ekko flew in for Zyra, bat up and ready. He tried to smack her a few, but it didn’t do all that much damage. Just as quickly, she jumped back and activated a Deadly Bloom, cutting through his legs, and he fell to one knee.
Four, five, six, seven...
He stopped, not bothering to stand first, clicking down a hologram to prepare for Parallel Convergence. Ezreal was tangled into the Grasping Roots; Zyra and Vayne were quick approaching. Now, or never!
Eight, nine, ten!
The Parallel Convergence activated, exactly where Zyra and Vayne were closing in around Ezreal. Ekko was still too far, but not far enough for a Phase Dive in that direction. An explosion in time as he entered the time bubble, freezing Zyra and Vayna (but not Ezreal) in place.
A second activation of the Phase Dive swung some damage to Zyra, though not enough to kill. He stopped and grabbed Ezreal’s arm roughing, yanking him to his feet. “Quick! Get ‘em!”
It wasn’t something Ezreal wanted to admit, but Ekko was definitely right this time. Their last skirmish had gone all kinds of wrong, none of Ezreal’s attacks had made it past Zyra’s vicious plants and Vayne had ensured neither of the boys could get back to safety without taking a few hard hits. Things were really boiling down to now or never.
“Hey- I’ve got this.” Ezreal refused to show any worry to his lane partner, feeling like he had a point to prove since Ekko’s attitude so far hadn’t been too positive. Granted they weren’t friends or used to being matched together like this but there wasn’t really a choice, couldn’t Ekko give him just a little co-operation?
“All I need is some initiation here,” Ezreal looked up at their opponents. “Gimme that and I’ll handle the rest, ‘kay?”
Continued from here: @prodigalexplorer
“Uh, huh.” Ekko shook his head and glanced back at their opponents again. This was “Fine. I’ll see what I can do. Want me to distract Vayne while you get Zyra?”
It made logical sense. It wasn’t like Ezreal could take them both on, and Ekko still had a health potion left and his Timewinder in his pocket. It couldn’t be too hard. Right?
“Just get her to that spot,” He pointed to a spot on their side of the lane. “in ten seconds and I’ll give you some cover. After that, you’re on your own.” He pulled the Timewinder out of his belt and flipped it into the air. “Ready for your initiation?” he scoffed. “Try two. Let’s go.”
And he whipped it in the enemy champions general directions.
How about~ Yellow + Blue. Which equals Green... but Idk how that would work. But Scary and Angst, I thought might fit these two c:?
Yellow and Blue -- A Scary, Angsty Starter
The world around them was faded. Ghosts from the past and faces of the future flashed before them in the greying, blurred outline that used to be home. It only seemed to be for a moment before it vanished away to millions of stars and bright fires; the endless darkness that was the universe.
This was his eighteenth time witnessing eternity from start to finish, yet it felt only as though a few hours had passed. They would be blinded by a great light, followed by a darkness so bleak that he swore he had died. Then, a new light would emerge from somewhere, always the same place, and, slowly, everything would grow from nothing.
Stars, suns, moons, whole planets. It was breathtakingly beautiful to witness the universe come into a birth no man would ever dream of. Then, the Earth would form, taking his whole view and swallowing them both into it’s existence. The sun, the moon, spinning like clockwork at impossible speeds. They could see the towers built, pyramids rising from the sands. Oceans filling in the spaces the continents left when they spread.
Humans would always appear suddenly, and he could never find from where. As time went on, villages and towns and cities were built, and the millions of people would blur the world around them. Everything gradually turned grey as humans tainted the once flourishing Earth with buildings and simple existence.
Finally, suddenly, he would see himself. And his parents. And Jinx, and Vi, and Ajuna, and everyone he ever knew. He could see every fight they ever fought, witness every moment that shaped them. He could see himself break time again and again and again, shattering the whole universe before resuming everything again.
Sometimes, he could see the Piltover city burning from Jinx’s excitement and adventures and escapades she enjoyed so much. Sometimes, he could spot the brief moments she seemed so sane. Sometimes, he didn’t really see anything at all.
Then he would reach the point he could recall last; a broken Chronobreak, a shatter in the fabric of space, and he watched him and Jinx disappear from the Fields of Justice entirely. No clone to join them, no proof of existence following the Break. Just... nothing.
It seemed like nothing happened for a very long time. He wondered if anyone even searched for them; wondered where they had went. Maybe they were just two lonely Zaunite kids that no one would remember. And, upon witnessing eternity, he knew that every action was worth nothing in the end. Because, eventually, the universe and time would end.
That would be it.
From this point, the world grew darker and darker as the buildings drew higher and scraped the sky. Lights would emerge from glass windows in millions of colours. Zaun vanished completely in time; as did Piltover and Noxus, and any city he could name. Or, at least, what he knew of them. The world evolved and evolved.
And then fire. The world would burn. Everything was scorched. Humans vanished. Animals disappeared. Sand covered all. The death of the Earth was solid and true. And, somehow, always, a small plant would emerge from the dead planet and Earth would be anew. Reborn again, and again, and again, gradually shrinking with time. But no humans. Just plants and animals.
Rebirth, over, and over, and over again, until it crumbled away to nothing and life could no longer live. Then, it would return to just as it began; the beautiful stars and endless nothings and seemingly dead planets. Once or twice, he saw a world with life but it would dissipate just as quickly as it came.
Then came hours of seemingly endless birth and death of stars and planets. Time continued on and on forever after the Earth had been destroyed. It seemed like such a gift to just to sit and watch the universe go by. Stars born and dead in the flutter of an eyelid; darkness filled by light and emptied again in a single breath. It seemed so incomprehensible and forlorn and melancholy and serene and beautiful and breathtaking and infuriating all at the same time.
Trapped in the essence of time, to witness forever for the rest of eternity. Here, all the answers to all the questions a man could have ever dared to ask the stars, right before his eyes.
But at what price?
Then the darkness came again, swallowed by the unknown and they were left blackness in the death of the universe. This darkness was almost nearly as long as the existence of the universe itself.
For this, he dropped his gaze to the nonexistence below them and gently took her hand in his. He dared turn to examine her face, the expression alien to what he knew of her. A swirl of oddly selfish thoughts came to him at once; thank God he had dragged her here with him or he would have been alone, for the rest of... his life? Eternity? He already witnessed eternity nineteen times. Was there even an expiration date for their lives anymore?
But... this couldn’t be fair. He hadn’t meant to break time and force this upon them, and especially not her. Anyone but her. This was all his fault. His tampering with time, trying to create a machine that could shatter and turn back the clock, so he could be given a second chance.
No, so he could prove he could be as smart as any Piltie.
...No. To prove that his existence meant something.
And now his existence was here and he had dragged her along with him, into the unknown. Something she shouldn’t have to face. She deserved the blissful, ignorant existence, the freedom to live, even if it seemed so insignificant.
This place was nothing more than a glorified prison.
"I’m sorry, Jinx...” He tightened the grip around her hand, tearing his gaze away before their eyes could meet. Ekko reached up with his free hand and rubbed his eye, smearing the hourglass paint across his skin. “I’m so sorry...”
Out of Seconds: I think my favourite part on the new champ, Jihn, is that no one can find out how good this champ is gonna be and it’s hilarious ‘cause everyone thinks he’s either overpowered, underpowered, or a Cait clone.
My second favourite part is that I write John by accident a lot. XD
Orange seems fitting since Ekko doesn't know what patience is.
Orange – An Urgent! Starter
(I feel like you meant impatient-urgent, like, “Hurry up man, wtf?” but my brain went to emergency-urgent, like, “We need to run, now!” so I went with both. XD)
“Ezreal, for God’s sake.” Ekko pushed his bat into the ground and gestured to the other turret. Both at half health, the other Champs at full. What the hell was happening today? “If you don’t kill someone soon, we’re going to lose this match!”
It wasn’t his intention to have to Support, especially for a Piltie, but this was all just how the cards were played. They had Shaco (so, Jungle, obviously), Annie (mid lane, duh) and Garen (top lane), so that left Ekko and Ezreal for bot lane, and it just made sense Ekko play Support while Ezreal Carried but for fuck sakes, this was just taking too long!
(Or maybe he just wanted to pick a fight because he was forced to work with a Piltie.)
Then he took a breath, exhaling hard, and pulled his weapon back out of the ground. “Everything’s off cooldown. Let’s do this again – and don’t screw this up.”
