[shuoxue]

do you still think about your Vito corleone blog? :>

oh my god. i didn't think anyone would remember that blog at this point or recognize me from it but it made me happy to see someone did & i do, very often actually. all my blogs if i'm honest but vito is one of the ones really up there for me in terms of what blogs i would love to log back onto & write again, but he's also one where i'm like gee its been so long, i feel like most of the ppl i used to write w on there are def not active + don't know if many people would be interested in writing w/ the character anymore — but on the other hand a smaller crowd might work better for me if i do go back + on some of my other blogs too tbh (vito, no name, cloud, my gow blogs, sesshoumaru r a few to name, though i think the last one is less likely to happen.) not that i wouldnt love interacting w as many ppl but i'm a slow writer so y'kno. gets hard to keep up w.

honestly if u see this & that's a muse u'd want to write w please go right ahead & dm me though omg. i'd hop on the blog in a heartbeat to get something going.

❝ i apologize for the intrusion. i was attempting to sneak in. ❞ from kilik heeheh

he hears a sputtering somewhere. incessant whines bristling from rusty pipes. the walls shiver with some flu. the wood sinking beneath his weight humming with a 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎 - 𝚔𝚗𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚕𝚎𝚍 grip on life. small eight-legged skittering takes to the corners of the room in & out deposits of dust & between the small arsenal wainscotting the walls, sending motes of sediment fluttering in the thin beams of light streaming from the windows then hide in the shadows traipsing the ship. 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦, his hands clasped behind his back while he processes their surroundings.

he's dumbfounded, to say the least.

❝ is that an admission of a crime ? ❞ he asks smoothly, brow raised. he tucks his bewilderment away beneath a carefully practiced visage before turning to the boy & crossing his arms over his chest. ❝ i trust you understand why your circumstances would appear... questionable. that's putting it lightly. ❞ his eyes rake the weapons strewn across the walls. ❝ & that's before we even enter the discussion of 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐲. that your ship landed, rather than crashed onto the luofu is a miracle beyond me. ❞

❝ 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 ? ❞ the words pluck a quiet but hearty chuckle from its incubation in his chest. a furnace expended of warmth — he mechanically stokes the coal, melts the frosty detachment from his visage though he feels an 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚢 - 𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚕𝚞𝚐𝚐𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜 prolific in his bones, his movements encumbered by listlessness. the afternoon sun warms his skin, weighs his lashes with gold, inviting his eyelids to close for a moment & no more. ❝ please enlighten me of my wrongdoings, i was looking forwards to a good night's rest. ❞
