writ in st9ne

Hell9. I supp9se, 9nce up9n a time, y9u might have called me Kankri. Th9ugh it's 6een awhile since that name has 6een what 9ne c9uld call... "mine". Y9u might as well just call me Ikri now. I live inside a green sun. Ikri Vantas | Prototyped Sprite |...

[scriptedmem9ries]

6l9gging:

Quite! D9 y9u read a l9t? Any rec9mmended titles?

Why yes.

Yes I d9 have a few rec9mmended titles.

Let’s read t9gether, shall we? 

[scriptedmem9ries]

699ks, hmm? That d9es s9und like fun.

>Altar makes a mildly confused grunt when the fingers cover his mouth, squinting at Ikri in slight annoyance that doesn’t last long at all. Breathing loudly through his nose he quirks an eyebrow.

“He’s what – wait are you talking about Blue? Ikri are you hiding from Blue. Are you embarassed Ikri. Is it because he and your alternate do the diddle?”

>Altar is not mature.

> Ikri gives Altar the mEANEST LOOK. His eyes narrow and glint a brighter red for a moment or two. Then, as soon as it set on, it deflates. He wrinkles his nose and looks down, expression coloring in slight shame.

‘Yes. And n9w I’ll thank y9u t9 let me g9 s9 I can g9 6e made fun a69ut it s9me m9re 6y 9ther pe9ple I ad9re.’

> Ikri starts to sink back into the screen.

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

HIM?

…IKRI CAN YOU COME HERE?

> No sooner has Altar beckoned him close than a hand slips out of the screen to press his fingers to Altar’s lips. Ikri’s meek face follows, glancing worriedly this way and that. 

Words form on his arm. ‘St9p re6l9gging my p9sts! He might see, y9u’re 9n the same 6l9g!’

[scriptedmem9ries]

!!

Ah, *him*...

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

OH. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. I MEAN, I’VE NEVER DONE IT, BUT I HAVE FE1T PRETTY DISAPPOINTED WHEN FINISHING A PARTICU1ARI1Y GOOD READ.

I just get really int9 the st9ry. Immersive reading has it’s ups and d9wns, h9nestly. S9metimes fantasy is just s9 much 6etter than reality.

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

WHAT KIND OF BOOK WAS IT THAT IT MADE YOU CRY?

Well... it’s a little em6arrassing. It’s n9t s9 much that the 699k was sad, I was simply... sad that it was 9ver. I l9ve that 699k very much.

[scriptedmem9ries]

Mm... the 699k I just read made me cry.

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

I STI11 FIND IT IRONIC THAT I CAN PROVIDE YOU ANY KIND OF WARMTH AT A11, CONSIDERING I’M AS CO1D B1OODED AS THEY COME, BUT. IT’S A NICE THOUGHT, TO THINK I CAN PROVIDE AT 1EAST SOME OF WHAT YOU DO FOR ME

NAH HE’S FINE. HE’S GOT TWO MATES TO KEEP HIM COMPANY, EVEN IF ONE IS AYWA11 RIGHT NOW. AND A WHO1E TREEHOUSE TO SEEK SHE1TER IN.

I’D NEVER 1ET MY HOST SPEND A NIGHT OUT ON HIS OWN WITHOUT SUPERVISION. 

Heheh. We’re an ir9nic s9rt 9f pair, aren’t we? Mmm... I’m g9ing t9 kiss y9u n9w. Right 9n y9ur lips.

That’s a relief. It’s really nice h9w much y9u care f9r him, in y9ur... 9dd way 9f d9ing s9. Y9u’re like the t9wn bully that d9ubles as a 6a6ysitter. 

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

DON’T APO1OGIZE, I’M NOT COMP1AINING. YOU’RE WARM AND COMFORTAB1E AND I A1WAYS ENJOY HAVING YOU AROUND. EVEN AS1EEP.

MY HOST IS FINE. HE HAS A ‘HOME AWAY FROM HOME’, AS IT WERE. I BE1IEVE HE SPENT THE NIGHT WITH HIS MATE THERE.

I’m glad I can pr9vide y9u with s9me warmth, like the warmth y9u pr9vided f9r my heart.

9h? Well, that’s g99d. I was w9rried I chased him 9ut 9f his r99m and that he was l9nely. I w9uld hate t9 put 9ut s9me9ne s9 imp9rtant t9 y9u.

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

‘MORNING’ S1EEPY HEAD. I SAY MORNING BECAUSE IT IS IN FACT THE MIDD1E OF THE NIGHT. YOU S1EPT A11 DAY. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE.

Is it...? I’m s9rry Altar! I didn’t mean t9 stay s9 l9ng -- where did Mirage sleep? Is he alright? I h9pe I didn’t intrude t99 l9ng...

[scriptedmem9ries]

Yawn...

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

OOOH I’11 DEFINITE1Y HAVE TO GIVE THAT ONE A 1ISTEN TO. 

COURSE YOU CAN! JUST GIVE ME A SECOND TO KICK OUT MY HOST.

Purrr...

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

EH. THAT JUST ENCOURAGES ME TO 1ISTEN TO THEM A11 THE MORE C1OSE1Y TBH. I 1IKE THE GRITTY STUFF.

NAH. I’M JUST AS GOOD AS YOU DESERVE. I THINK IT 1OOKS FANTASTIC.

T9y s9ldiers y9u might like then. d:6

Mmm... can I c9me 9ver and sleep with y9u t9night?

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

I’M PRETTY FOND OF THAT SONG TOO. REA11Y CATCHY.

YES HE11O I CAN SEE THAT. IT 1OOKS GOD DAMN AMAZING. JUST 1IKE IT’S OWNER.

I like m9st 9f the s9ngs 6y Marianas Trench. c:6 Er. S9me 9f them y9u just... sh9uldn’t listen t9 t99 cl9sely. I:6

Nnn... y9u’re far t99 g99d t9 me, Altar. I’m glad y9u like it. (:6

[scriptedmem9ries]

crabbymechanic:

TESTING TESTING, I’M JUST SUGGESTING.

YOU AND I MIGHT JUST BE THE BEST THING~!

I l9ve that s9ng... Altar!

Altar hi, hell9, l99k, I made a 6l9g.

[scriptedmem9ries]

What d9 y9u mean Ikri made a 6l9g 6ef9re Mistress Fl9ra made hers 6ecause she wasn’t c9ding fast en9ugh f9r his liking? Prep9ster9us. 

It was infinitly m9re likely that he just wanted t9 spam re6l9g 699k qu9tes with9ut 6eing called 699kNerd L9rd 9f The 699k 6rigade f9r sixteen m9nths 6y Cr9i again.
