Iris Noire Dance--Feminine Category
A dance sounded like a perfect opportunity for Iris to socialize without putting herself in a compromising position. While she expected to be no more than a wallflower, the chances of things going awry was fairly small this way...right?
Hands Off || Iris & Sabrina
[ Iris Noire ]:
“Yes, miss, just come with me and I’ll take you home…” Iris’s ears perked up at the sound of a shady voice that sounded anything but friendly, mismatched eyes landing on a young woman and a seedy looking stranger. He was wobbling and had slurred speech, most likely drunk and targetting the first vulnerable girl he could find. The girl, obviously lost and a bit afraid, followed the man without question. There was no way Iris could sit back and let this happen. In a flash, Iris had the man’s wrist in her grasp, digging a nail into his skin and glaring him down. “If you truly have good intentions, you should leave the lady in the hands of someone sober. I’ll take it from here.” She flashed her fangs briefly for good measure, letting the man flee as soon as she released him. “Are you okay?” Iris turned to address the other girl. “That man did not hurt you, did he?” @timidbookeeper
♛ - Sabrina wasn’t really sure about this. Her father had always cautioned her against following strangers – especially strange men, meandering about in the night. But she was lost, it was frighteningly dark out, and Sabrina had absolutely no idea on how to get back home from here.
And, well, this man was a bit odd, but he seemed kind! Since he was being generous enough to offer her some assistance… it would be okay, wouldn’t it? She was well aware of the possible consequences, and mentally prepared in the case that things went south… but she would like to think that not all strangers were bad. Father was just far too distrustful of others.
“Y-yes, thank you so much for this…!” She responds, desperately trying to ignore the anxious fluttering in her stomach as she begins to follow after him. Things had appeared to start off well, but when a figure suddenly passes her by, grabbing the man by the wrist and flashing what appeared to be fangs, Sabrina lets out a small gasp of shock.
As much as she wanted to help the man, she was far too paralyzed with fear to be of any actual use. Was this… a nightly creature? The very ones she’s read about in so many books? Whatever the case, the woman thankfully lets the man go without causing him any harm, and when she turns her multicolored gaze to Sabrina, the young heiress tenses up.
This woman… how harrowing.
“U-um, I… I’m alright! He was nothing but kind…” This woman didn’t seem to want to cause her any harm. But she couldn’t be too careful! Dwellers of the dark were masters at masking their true natures.
Iris shook her head, putting her hands up in a gesture of goodwill. “That man was not in a good state of mind. Also, most of the buildings are in the opposite direction of where he was leading you.” She gestured to the path they had followed.
“It’s possible that he meant you no harm, but those who are intoxicated are better to steer clear from in the night.” Iris could see how see herself appeared dangerous, but she was really a lot less likely to cause harm to this girl than the smelly man.
“I’m sorry for scaring you, I know I appear to be a threat as well. I will leave you be if you want...”

Fate’s Meeting || Open to Multiple
Iris was somewhat surprised at herself--even after all this time, she still enjoyed solitude. The night still called to her, as comforting as an old friend.
“Maybe I should head back now...”
She whispered her speculation into the night, having long lost track of time. She wouldn’t want to be caught in daybreak and worry her roommate by being nowhere to be found.
Still, Iris made an effort to savor the night and began a slow trek back, peacefully lost in her thoughts until the crack of a twig breaking sounded behind her.
“...?! Whose there...?”
Welcome Aboard! II Iris & Claire
“I don’t know how I can ever repay you for this,” in all her years of wandering alone, Iris had never met someone who just let her stay with them, period. Every once in awhile an inn keeper would take pity on her and offer her a room for a night or two, but without money, that generosity only extended so far. However, this time Iris had jobs to pay for rent.
Iris had to choke back tears as she saw where she would be staying--as unconventional as it seemed, a ship was a home as good as any--and the idea of having a place to call her own filled Iris with hope that maybe she really could start over.
“Um, how much does rent cost? Are there daily chores, or something I can help with...?”
This blog is being re-purposed for Iris Noire!
Earthmates || Kasey and Ivan(RF)
@xa-wanderful-lifex
You know that feeling where you just know you should probably go somewhere for some reason? You can’t explain why, but your gut is screaming at you to just go do this thing and everything will be alright. Yeah that, that’s what has Kasey trotting down the roads of Arcadia towards Fugue Forest.
It was actually pretty normal for him to go to Fugue Forrest, so when he suggested going there to Finn there were no questions. But as the duo continued along the path the little Harvest Sprite became suspicious.
//*”Kasey?” The sprite started, floating around him. “Is everything okay? You seem more…focused than usual.”*//
“I dunno, I jus’…feel weird.” He shrugged, maybe he was just feeling things again. “And I feel like I’ll get answers if I come here, so here we are.”
//*”Answers?” Finn tilted his head. “You think you’ll find the answers to the voices in your head?”*//
“Not sure.” He shrugged, stopping suddenly when he seen a young man approaching. “Uhh, howdy. He smiled, trying to play it cool, as if he wasn’t talking to some invisible entity.
Ivan felt it too--certain pulls that led him to different things, or people. The little otherworldly voice in the back of his head that told him when something needed investigating; a location to visit, or a person to talk to
Someone who was a bit similar to himself.
It hadn’t yet occurred to Ivan that randomly approaching someone in the forest might come off as a bit creepy; he was only focused on the reason he was drawn to this person. “Excuse me, but you...would you happen to be an earthmate?”
Un-EXpected Nostalgia || [[Danny/Ivan]]
xa-wanderful-lifex:
Ivan had to glance out his window a few times, to ensure that his eyes weren’t playing tricks on him. There, within his field of vision, was the person he’d been thinking of since he remembered it was Valentine’s Day.
He chuckled to himself, glad he wasn’t alone in the feeling. Danny could still be indirect as ever, it seemed. Looks like he’d have to take the lead here–not that he really minded.
Act natural. Just leave the building as if you’re going to take a walk, or something…
Ivan lifted his gaze with perfect timing, allowing a smile to take up his face. “Danny? What brings you here?”
Oh crap, there he was.
Danny jumped, at being suddenly addressed. For all that he’d been standing around, he hadn’t actually come up with a plan of action. “Hey, Ivan- You know, I was just taking a walk around the island… Crazy timing, huh?”
Yeah, that wouldn’t fool him. Change the subject. Change the subject fast.
“How about you? Heading out somewhere?” Don’t tell him Ivan had some sort of plans for the day… That would be kind of a disappointment, after all of this. Still, he supposed it was possible… Technically, it was even possible that Ivan was going on a date with someone.
The idea didn’t make Danny as upset as it might have in the past… But he’d be lying to himself if he didn’t acknowledge that the thought made him a teensy-weensie bit jealous.
Ivan suppressed a knowing grin from his face, trying to hide the fact that the timing wasn’t so “crazy,” but before anything could slip through, Danny changed the subject.
He shook his head maybe a little too quickly. “No. Nowhere in particular...” Ivan tried his best to keep a hint of detachment in his voice--no matter how obvious the situation appeared, he wasn’t in the mood to embarrass himself with assumptions.
Un-EXpected Nostalgia || [[Danny/Ivan]]
It was a complete coincidence that Danny wound up in front of his ex’s apartment complex on the most romantic day of the year, honest!
Well, at least… he didn’t intend to go up and just find him, and ask him out. He… didn’t really intend to do anything. Why was he here again? This was dumb. He had no idea what he was even hoping for. Just to swing by and say ‘hey’? If he wanted to do that, he could have picked any other day of the year. But no. It was today that he was standing in front of the complex like a weirdo.
He scratched his head and sighed. Okay, he’d leave it up to fate then. If there was still no sign of Ivan in the next five minutes, he’d leave while he still could get out of this alive. Unfortunately for him, fate had never really been on his side.

I Know You || [[Ivan & Gelwein]]
xa-wanderful-lifex:
There were plenty of people Ivan dreaded encountering since his escape from home, but he was the last one he actually expected to see.
Time seemed to move in slow motion as the suspicious man came into view, fear and confusion rolling itself into a tight ball in Ivan’s stomach. Why?
The greeting itself seemed to be a challenge, as if Gelwein were expecting Ivan to run and hide, or pretend to be someone else in a vain attempt to throw off suspicion. (Not that those options weren’t tempting at the moment.)
“Good day, Gelwein. What a surprise to see you here. May I help you with something?”
The response was flat and dry, with just enough politeness laced in to remain in customer-service mode. There wasn’t much Gelwein could try here, really, not when someone could walk in at any moment.
“Hmph- So after all this time, you remember my name and face after all. I suppose I should consider it an honor, to be recognized by our most benevolent prince.”
Gelwein did not speak loudly, but he made no particular effort to lower his voice as the words came out. He doubted anyone was paying attention, and if they were… Well, he knew people. They were dense, and stupid. Anyone who didn’t already know or have their suspicions wouldn’t take the words to heart, hearing them spoken in this manner.
However, it might be a little concerning, should a certain member of the royal family want to keep their identity under wraps. Time to see how the royal brat would respond.
Ivan’s skin broke out into goosebumps, hearing the way Gelwein mentioned his roots. “Now, now, Gelwein. You very well know I’ve left that life behind. That aside, it would be very hard to forget a person such as yourself, don’t you think?” He had to bite his tongue on the words with your reputation--enough tension was already handing in the air.
Fear briefly trickled into Ivan as he subtlety glanced around, making sure no one was listening in. He knew his concern was mostly irrational. After all, it was highly unlikely that a conversation about secrets would be taking place as openly as it was currently.
I Know You || [[Ivan & Gelwein]]
Gelwein had been watching the farm for some time. From a distance, of course. You don’t begin a hunt by walking up to the prey. You sit to the side and watch. Of course, it wasn’t all that difficult to identify one of the men who worked at Kardia Farm. He really hadn’t attempted to hide himself very well, had he? That was, of course, assuming that he wanted to remain hidden.
It seemed like he did. Those he questioned going in and out of the farm offered up frustratingly little information. Still, that in and of itself was a clue. No one seemed to know that there was at least one- likely even more than one- missing prince in their midst.
In the end, there was only one thing for it. It was a dangerous game, but if Gelwein was correct, a certain farmer had more to lose from this little exchange than he did. There was even a chance that the researcher wouldn’t even be recognized- but he wouldn’t count on it. That boy had always been a sharp one.
It wasn’t until he was up at the counter that his target seemed to acknowledge him. “Good day,” he drawled. “…Ivan, was it?”

I Know You || Ivan & Frey
xa-wanderful-lifex:
Ivan stopped in his tracks, a pit starting to slowly form in his stomach. Had she forgotten him as well?
No. It had been a long time. Maybe she just hadn’t recognized him yet, especially since it was nighttime. He dared step a little closer, but was careful not to scare his old friend.
“Yes, my name is Ivan…Does that ring a bell?”
The poor guy looked so confused and concerned. Frey felt a bit guilty when, despite her best effort to wrack her brain for any memory of the guy, she couldn’t recall anyone in her life named Ivan. She had, of course, that same funny feeling in the back of her mind that perhaps he could be someone she knew, but even then she could never know for sure.
“I’m sorry…” Frey sighed, guilt wallowing within her. He was the first person she’d come across that knew her, but she had no idea who they were. It was a part of her past she knew she needed, and yet… She couldn’t claim it. “I don’t remember you, or anyone, for that matter.” She pinched the end of her minty pigtail and looked to the ground. “I washed up on the shore here not too long ago.” Frey looked up at him, eyes sparkling with a hint of hope. “B-But you said you know me, right? You knew my name, at least.”
“Amnesia...” the word left Ivan’s lips in a whisper, part wonder and part fear. It was just...too coincidental.
“No, please, don’t feel bad...Are you, um, alright? Do you have a place to stay?” A million other questions whipped through Ivan’s mind, each of them unfair to Frey her current situation--so he stamped them down.
“I...I do, but its been quite a few years since I last saw you, I’m afraid. I...can’t say I know where you’ve been lately. All the memories we share are mainly from childhood.” Ivan hated to break it to her, but he couldn’t be as helpful as she was probably hoping for.
Not Every RomCom Scene Ever Where the BF Accidentally Meets the Family || Kathy and Ivan
A nice day off. Kathy had just come back from a long trip and left the ship with Danny in charge. She had given him a few days off prior, so she thought she deserved one once in a while. Speaking of days off, Danny seemed to be a little more excited on his days off than he used to be. She was hoping the man had found a new hobby of sorts. Either way, she was happy he seemed happier at least on those days.
She ended up walking around town, enjoying the sights, when she saw an interesting person. Well, a person she didn’t know but had seen with her crew. The man had fought with Danny during the tournament, and Kathy had been somewhat interested in him since she saw that. She took out her iGalaxy 8SX and began texting as she casually walked towards him, and accidentally bumped into him.
“Oh shit, sorry ‘bout that. Ya okay?” She asked pretending she was distracted by the phone. “
Head in the clouds, Ivan was attempting to enjoy his day off–keyword: Attempting.
With everything going on lately (and his whole life in general, really.) It was hard to shake off a feeling of constant anxiety–what with how hard he panicked while fighting Raguna during the tournament, Ivan couldn’t help but feel like all eyes were on him, wondering what was going on.
So, the one time it appeared that someone wasn’t looking straight at him, he spaced out and let his guard down.
A light bump brought him back to reality, “Ah-no, I’m alright, are you?” Although that encounter seemed a little bit too well-timed.
“Yea, little bump like that ain’t goin’ ta hurt. Ya know?” Kathy asked. She raised an eyebrow at the man and hummed gently. She was acting transparent, to put it frankly. Though her act was the honest truth, just minus one or two facts here and there.
“Feel like I’ve seen ya before. Ya don’t frequent the Blue Horseshoe do ya? Nah…. I don’t think I’ve seen ya there.” She replied, putting a hand on her hip and sighing.
“Either way, sorry fer runnin’ inta ya. Name’s Kathy.” Kathy said, holding out her hand. “Adventurer extraordinaire. What’s yer name?”
“Yeah. Just wanted to make sure.” Politeness aside, Ivan wondered what this encounter was really bad.
“I don’t, no. Ah--I was in the tournament recently, if you happened to catch a few rounds of that. You might recognize me from there.” He had survived more rounds than he expected, after all. But Danny was the one to thank for that.
“No worries. Its nice to meet you, Kathy.” Ivan shook the woman’s hand. “My name’s Ivan. I’m...a travelling extraordinaire, if I had to pick one.” He added with a bit of a laugh.
I Know You || Ivan & Frey
xa-wanderful-lifex:
Sleep was elusive tonight.
It had been a surprising amount of time since Ivan found himself unable to sleep; it was something that happened frequently during his first couple years of traveling, until he got used to coming home to different locations every few months or so.
It had been so long since he left home, Ivan thought he’d never see any old friends again. Memories faded, pain eased, they were gone. That’s just how it was.
But tonight was different.
Giving up on sleep for the night, Ivan left his apartment to take a walk. The sky was clear and full of stars, and he quickly noticed that he wasn’t the only one fascinated by the sparkling sky.
And that person was very familiar.
“Frey?”
Something about the night sky enticed Frey. The view of the sky from Arcadia was gorgeous, such little light pollution around to block out the brightness of the stars. And on nights when her head pounded with an ache that couldn’t be suppressed and the clinic’s cots were too uncomfortable to bare, Frey ventured out into the night to gaze upwards.
Upon hearing her name, Frey turned, long minty ponytails swaying as she looked at the man who spoke to her. He seemed… slightly familiar. Something within her told her that he might be someone she knew, but from long ago. Who was he? “Y-Yes? Do I know you?” This amnesia thing was beginning to become quite the burden.
Ivan stopped in his tracks, a pit starting to slowly form in his stomach. Had she forgotten him as well?
No. It had been a long time. Maybe she just hadn’t recognized him yet, especially since it was nighttime. He dared step a little closer, but was careful not to scare his old friend.
“Yes, my name is Ivan...Does that ring a bell?”
Be Safe || Ivan & Raguna
xa-wanderful-lifex:
Stepping back from the door upon it swinging open so quickly; Ivan blinked upon seeing Raguna equally as worried. “I’m okay, I’m okay! Don’t worry.” He let out a sigh of relief, “I…just wanted to check on you. After the fires and all. Do you…need help with anything? Any sort of repairs, or even assistance with helping other people?”
Like brother, like brother. Of course the two would spring into action at the slightest threat towards another person–it ran through their blood, whether Raguna knew it or not.
[✿] — At Ivan’s hasty reassurances, Raguna calms down a bit, though his heart continues to race from the lingering rush of adrenaline in his system. The way the other man had been looking and acting, one would think some sort of disaster just happened. Which… it did, but not to Raguna, thankfully. Or Ivan, either, which was a much needed relief during this stressful time.
Sighing, the Earthmate nods in understanding. “Oh, okay. That makes sense. And uh, not really? I’m doing pretty good, but…” He glances back at all the supplies and rations he’d packed up for the disaster victims. “I do need to deliver a few things, and I’ll probably have to make a few return trips if I’m working on my own, so…”
He’d hate to ask Ivan to help him with all that, but he asked, and all Raguna did was answer truthfully. Whether he had help or not, it didn’t matter. Raguna would get the job done either way.
Ivan nodded back, spotting the surplus of supplies. “I’m glad you’re well. I’m not occupied at the moment, so I’d be happy to help you.”
He was glad that nothing seemed to be off to Raguna about his own concern--that he was worrying too much about someone that, at least to the other man’s knowledge, had yet to know him very well.
Ivan hefted a bundle of supplies into his arms, finding the task not at all difficult. “Where’s our first stop?” He asked with an encouraging smile.
