My other rp blog (aka Shawn's best friend)

[sumfuifuturus]

@rubyscout Ebner is sitting in the red common space at the cold-front, as it is the only base that isn't insufferably hot or muggy. He is reading a book and sipping some sort of amber liquid. Ignoring the rest of the bodies in the area as they ignore him. Respawn is down, and he's waiting for a shipment of components. So he can repair it to sufficient levels. So he's here looking quite relaxed. "you can either sit, or leave. I do not enjoy being stared at." He speaks to Shawn, as he turns a page.

[rubyscout]

Shawn flinches a little as he was caught lurking. Adjusting his hold on his laptop, he clears his throat and rubs the back of his neck as he approaches Ebner.

"Sorry. I uh...it's been a while hasn't it?" He said before taking a seat next to the man. The last time they had interacted with each other was at the woodland orgy. He had to admit, he did enjoy the experience.

Though he and Ebner hadn't really kept in touch since then, so it was kind of awkward to find him in the commons. Nevertheless, Shawn thought it best to bite the bullet instead of going the other way.

Leaning his back against the couch cushion, he opened his laptop to resume his research on local folklore.

[sumfuifuturus]

Ebner pulled a sip and then turned his head just so, to give the other a glance. "Congratulations of the gift, glad the omega blood elf opted for such a momentous occasion." It was terribly lonely sometimes in the thick of immortality, of course if one got that old. Some slept the ages away, his lip pulled into a frown as he thought of that, sleeping and waking up centuries later. What a lazy way to do it. "How very anachronistic of you," In regards to the lap top, probably using the wefee or something, he checked his watch had that been invented yet? He would blame the omega blood elf, and immediately felt better about the out of place technology. He would merely ignore it so if the industry asked no he hadn't noticed. Too buisy reading his book, Dante had him hooked.

[rubyscout]

A soft chuckle left him, blushing a tad as Ebner mentioned Hakuro's gift. "Heh, yeah... I'm looking forward to see how the world develops with the rest of you immortals."

He clicked on a ghost file and began reading. He had only begun on the second page when Ebner pulled him out of his concentration.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, this thing. Hakuro gave it to me. Some kind of future tech I guess. Mentioned something about receiving it from Great Old Ones."

He was sure he would find the files about those later. But for now, he's focused on folklore.

It had no internet connection (whatever that was) so Hakuro had the thing filled up with digital versions of books and journals on any paranormal subject. Shawn had to admit that carrying hundreds of books on a single piece of tech was pretty impressive. It made him look forward to future technological advances.

"He calls it a 'laptop' and it can carry data from hundreds of books." A grin forms on his face. "Isn't that amazing?"

[crimson-warrior]

"You know, if The Great Library of Alexandria had never burnt down, humanity could have had laptops in the 1960s, and more! Much more! But nooooooo! Julius Caesar just had to '''''accidentally'''' burn it down during his stupid civil war! Yes, I'm still pissed about it to this day! No, stabbing him over and over did not make me feel better! Well...I mean...it did, but only for a short while."

[rubyscout]

"Wait, that was you??"

@eerieeyedleveret

It was around 10pm in the city. Shawn had taken a job guarding the back entrance of a warehouse. The people who were hiring were offering big money, so of course he jumped at that chance.

He leaned against the brick wall and stared at the sky. It was black thanks to light pollution. Not a star in sight. A sigh left his mouth, god, he was so bored. His employers were apparently up to business inside. So who knows how long that would take.

Ugh I'm so bored... I want a cigarette.... He thought before internally kicking himself for even thinking about that old habit.

Just then, around the corner, he heard something. It sounded like a can being kicked around.

Narrowing his eyes, Shawn got off the wall. It could just be a cat. ...Or it could be a person.

Pulling his pistol out, he silently slinks over.

[rubyscout]

"Exactly what did you and Hakuro do in the time pocket? he's talking about worms, to an unhealthy degree. He does not sound in the right mind. Please leave out any of the romance and sexual stuff. I do not care to know."

"Oh, uh, alright. Just promise me that you won't share this information with anyone."

Pausing as he receives the other's answer, he rubs his chin. "Let's see...where to start...? Well, we were stuck in a Hell for a bit. Got to watch some sinners be tortured. And then when we got out of Hell, we fought the forces of darkness as Hunters. You know, killing evil vampires and the like."

He pauses as he thinks some more.

"He also taught me that there are 3 god-like spirits who are in charge of creation, chaos, and destruction. I think their names are called Weaver, Wyld, and Wyrm. That's W-Y-R-M. Supposedly those three kept the balance of the material realm....I think...? But something happened and now they're corrupted. The Weaver seeks to get the other two under her absolute control. And the Wyrm...."

He sighs.

"It wants to bring about Armageddon. And what's scary about the Wyrm is that it has agents everywhere. Like corrupt governments and companies for example. There's this whole secret war going on between Hunters, other supernatural beings, and of course agents of the Wyrm."

He pauses.

"I think Hakuro is freaked out because it reminds him of the war he was apart of centuries ago. I guess...it never really ended."

[rubyscout]

An amused snort escapes his nose. "It wasn't all bad. Most of his jokes are funny. Like I said, it's when he gets drunk is when they fall flat. Oh, he needs to drink A LOT to even get drunk. His healing factor gives his liver a big boost apparently."

He leans against the wall and stares at the sky. "Anyway, underneath all those jokes, he's a kind man. Like...he was there to help me when I was struggling. Be it in a fight or something mental. He also has a fountain of wisdom in that head of his and he also helped me understand text I couldn't make out."

One of his hands went into his pockets as the other rubbed the hem of his jacket. "When I was beginning to spiral into darkness, it was Hakuro who slapped me back into the light." He chuckles. "Literally. Not hard enough to leave a mark, mind you, but hard enough to snap me back to the present."

He scratches the back of his neck.

"Where was I going with this...?" He muttered to himself. "Oh, the only tiredsome thing about that time with him was when I got worn out from fights."

[irritablereddemo]

"you have matured..." The dragon said thoughtfully but mostly to himself, in regards to some of things Shawn had expounded upon. it was good the other had a nice friend that was able to help with all sorts of things. That must be nice, it was nice he just had other people sometimes. As a man he had a few, as a dragon? there wasn't many who could relate to it. which was fine because he didn't really need to seek it out. "fights as in you fighting with him, and not fighting against him?" he though Hakuro was like half suck demon or something. he'd not recalled the name correctly and didn't really care. "he has a very nice tail, and he's willing to join me for most activities when I invite him..." like going to the past to eat some creatures, or letting him spend hours petting the tail. Should get the other some cat ears.

[rubyscout]

Hearing Rasturn's thoughtful statement, Shawn's cheeks turned pink. He smiled and looked away bashfully. Thinking back on it, he supposed he did mature. And hearing the other say it made his chest warm up with pride.

He glances back up at his draconic friend when he mentioned the fighting thing.

"Fighting with him. We ran into a lot of baddies in that time bubble. Vampires, cultists, demons, ghosts... The list goes on."

[rubyscout]

It's late at night. Shawn's exhausted, laying in bed, but he can't sleep.

"....You ever think about how fucked up bologna is? Like...it's just a bunch of pigs gutted, de-boned, squashed and mashed and pressed into this meat obelisk. Nothing about it is natural. We humans, as a species, created this...this meat horror..."

Slow blink as he stares at the ceiling.

"I bet that's why God stays up in heaven..."

[rubyscout]

"One time I had pizza with a coworker named Mike. He was all 'you eat the crust?' And I'm sitting there like, 'You don't???' Like, dude, that thing was $22, I'm going to eat every INCH of it."

Pauses as he takes a sip of his drink.

"The guy then proceeds to say, 'I guess, but you wouldn't eat the peel of an orange, would you?"

He shakes his head, chuckling at the absurdity of that sentence.

"Comparing bread to an orange peel... That guy was so stupid. Anyway, after glaring at him in silence for a full 5 seconds, I just said, 'Man, shut up, stop talking to me.'

[rubyscout]

"Huh..." Shawn replied with a nod of his head. He gives a shrug of his shoulders. "Alright fair enough."

He looks away suddenly and straightens up, straining to listen to a specific noise.

"....Okay, am I crazy or did I just hear Hartmut talking about ketchup?"

[rubyscout]

(( Heyyyyyy, guess who just donated some blood today? Me!! And then, guess who chased after the neighbor's asshole cat to try to stop her from throwing paws with another? Me! And guess who's woozy all over again? ME. Uuuuuuuuugh. Ffffffhack... ))

(( I'll be okay though. ))

[rubyscout]

[irritablereddemo]

"You don't eat the rind on the orange"

Looks at Shawn weirdly.

[rubyscout]

"Exactly! You don't! Mike had the audacity to compare orange rinds to pizza crust. Which you can eat."

[irritablereddemo]

"I eat the orange part of the orange,"

[rubyscout]

He stares at Rasturn for a moment before replying.

"Ah...sorry, I misheard you. No, I don't eat the peel. My body can't process it. A lot of people can't digest it. So I guess what Mike was implying is that a lot of people can't digest pizza crusts. Which is just...absurd."

[irritablereddemo]

"The crust is rougher then the cheese part, perhaps the mouth feel is different?"

He's sure the crusts are hard for him to eat as a man. He didn’t really like pizza.

[rubyscout]

"I suppose... But I saw Mike eat bread sticks which is exactly the same thing as pizza crusts. So..."

He makes vague hand gestures. "You can see where I got confused, yeah?"

We need a secret third thing about wanting to do several settings / plots and never finishing any of your settings / plots (probably one of the few things I truly don't).

[irritablereddemo]

"If I spoke of any of this as man, I'd be carted off and my brains scooped out." The dragon spoke drenched in asperity, it sounded fanciful. Gods, this thing again, any entity could become a god is unfortunate enough to be perceived and worshiped. They just had to stop believing and it would castrate the gods' power. He decided to return to the ocean and commune with the fish he had no quarry with these three entities and as far as he was concerned they didn't exist. "this fails to explain his hatred of federal agents, he has made many polarized statements which leads me to conclude he has fallen hook, line, and sinker, like a gormless fish swallowed a generalization that damns people who choose to work in the government and wish for their death." Rasturn found the whole thing loathsome, he didn't care for people on a whole; however he didn't wish them dead. Or generalizing someone to strip their humanity away and then to punch down at them. That was a slippery slope. He didn't consider Hakuro his friend, however he would keep an eye on the other for Shawn.

[rubyscout]

Shawn hums.

"Hmm... was he complaining about feds while drunk? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. Hakuro tends to deflect his worries with jokes. Most of them end up falling flat when he's drunk."

He sighs and shakes his head. "He did the same thing with me. When I asked later on, he explained that he originally saw it in a video and thought it was funny."
