“Your love has got me going like you couldn't imagine.”
[ Forsaken Builderman x Fem!Reader ] | Format: HC
[I'm so sorry for the late up here... This doesn't feel like HC, I'm so sorry for that too... This one mostly used you/your and some bits of she/her pronouns.]
Pre-Forsaken ── .✦
You two actually met in the cafe, his skin still radiant yellow and his bright blue eyes. He accidentally bump onto you when you take your food.
"Oh, sorry! Didn't see you there..." He said, visibly taller than you.
It wasn't love at first sight but your specific face didn't go away from his mind.
The next day, he made 'accidental' meeting again with you, this time on the road and his excuse? "Oh, I'm here to survey the area. What a coincidence we meet again, I'm Builderman. It would be nice to know your name too!"
His charming smile is what made you intrigued. After all, he's not a type who would survey the area and purposefully bump onto civilian like you.
"I'm [Name], it's nice to meet you too. Properly this time at least..." You chuckle lightly and that made his smile brighten more.
And now, everytime he's able to go see you, he'll do it. Every visit, he would surprise you either from behind or dangle upside down in front of you. That earn some scare from you.
Not every visit he will give jumpscare though, sometimes he would bring some items that would seen as a gift, like trinkets since he loves to create something by himself.
It's quite a moody day, the sky wasn't bright or dark, just something in between of it. You take some walk after ordering some dessert, you just decided to eat it at your comfort of home since you can't predict if it would rain or not, you don't want to take the risk.
You feel the air goes into still silence, the type of silent when something will goes off if you're not prepared of. A warm wall engulfed you from behind as pair of arm wrap around your torso, enough to make your heart stutter in surprise. "Hello my dear civilian! Didn't think we would bump onto each other again!" That cheerful voice pull you from your mind.
"You know that it's illegal to kill someone right?" "I'm not doing it to you though?" "You almost succeed..." That earned some chuckles from him, he may been playful but he definitely tone it down after all of the scares you got these past days. That doesn't mean he's done play with you.
"Btw! I brought some gift for you!" "... Again? At this point, my apartment may just flooded with your gift." Despite you said that to him, he keep pull out a trinket for you and this time is another bracelet that have both mix of your and his theme. The bracelet itself is quite pretty and oddly enough, it fit into your personal aesthetic.
"It's... Pretty." "I know right!?" You can see how brighten up he is, you don't know why he even try to push his life into you, he's a deity, the founder and the boss while you are just a normal civilian that accidentally bump onto you.
Safe to say, he won't go away anytime soon. That even attract other attention too, like Telamon. "This is the mortal...?" And he loses his interest after a while which made Builderman appears more on your side as much as he can.
He's quite attention grab with his unnatural appearance and his prominent status but he'll change the time of his appearing if the attention start to get you uncomfortable, he loves to tease you but dislike when it sacrifices your comfort.
Times fly by and you can see the discoloration on his skin and hair, how the yellow color become duller and more with gray.
His trickster streak become more lessen and have more productive talk with you, but that doesn't mean his teasing also weaken, you still get teased by mean A LOT.
He then would visit your house/apartment occasionally, either to gave you some gift or have some small walk with you. He's quite busy man since the HQ start to filled with complain of hackers and exploiters, and when he have some time to spare, he would visit you.
You already someone that he's fond of and it would take a long way if he decided to let go of you. He doesn't forget someone that easily after you lodge your face into his heart.
You once encountered a hacker on your way that disarray you and then got saved by Clockwork along with Builderman, you're being dangled around like a toy by the hacker and that give quite nauseating experience for you when they finally found you.
Clockwork immediately go after the hacker while Builderman speed up to you who's now disoriented after that incident, constantly asking if you're fine or anything he should heal for you. He's stressed from work and seeing you in danger like that making him act like a fussy husband... If that even happen to be marrying you.
Since that day, he would try to visit you more often, worried that you'll get tangled with a hacker again despite his work is piling up at this point.
He would even try to keep you isolated if that what it takes to keep you safe and sound, he already lost Telamon & Jane, he won't lost you too. But he knows how inhumane that is and just keep it as the very last resort to keep his love safe and sound.
Then one day, he just... Disappear, the HQ is in shambles because prominent admins are gone without any trace.
The disappearance of prominent admins and even Builderman is concerning, you're worried if that tied to you since some of the workers from HQ start to look at you weird.
The day you get forsaken is when you meet it directly, Spectre. Your body deteriorating fast as your mind and body can't comprehend the entity in front of you.
"Hm... You're just a civilian yet involved with prominent figure... I wonder what his face would looks like when he sees you..."
Your body crumpled to the ground, nosebleed and mouth spilled blood. The acid in your stomach burning and coroting your organs, it's hand griping your neck and feel a faint pulse under your skin before it's just snap your bones, your body went limp as the last thing you saw and heard is the contorted body of the entity and manic laugh.
Forsaken ── .✦
The day he meet you again when he's in the round, Elliot is piggyback someone towards his dispenser. He's a bit busy talking with Shedletsky but upon seeing you, his breath hitches.
It's you, the one he's been dreaming and thinking of, the one he can't get off from his mind until now, his darling that he unable to say last thing before he got forsaken.
It's another round again, another hell in unknown realm for someone sick glee. Builderman got picked this time along with Dusekkar, Shedletsky, Elliot, Noob, Guest 1337, and 007n7. It's like a regular life at this point but sometimes, he still can't used to it, he missed the busy life he had and the woman that he failed to say anything before he got forsaken.
He runs to the safe place to put down his dispenser, keeping it away from danger as building sentry is quite difficult and long time consuming. After done building sentry, he looks up and see Shedletsky is running up to him with battered self. "Hey there boss... Gosh, Slasher really go all out again this round... Almost got cut like a turkey in thanksgiving." He jokes lightly and Builderman just scoffs at that but a smile lightly touch his lips.
He then makes some small talks with Shedletsky for a while, a small rest and then back to work. He then hear someone approach them, both Builderman and Shedletsky turn to see who is it and spot Elliot who's piggyback someone who's severely wounded, Elliot's pizza couldn't heal that wound easily.
When Elliot's laying the person down, both Shedletsky and Builderman immediately notice that the person Elliot was carrying is a new one. "H-hey Builderman... I was running away after Guest helped me distract Slasher and I found this woman at the edge of this place, bleeding profusely. I-I can't heal her so I just bring her here..."
"Calm down kiddo, you help with whatever you have. Don't blame yourself now..." Builderman gently assures Elliot before he looks down at the woman that's leaning heavily against the wall near the dispenser, her head down. He froze instantly when his gaze fall to the woman's wrist, a bracelet. The one he explicitly made by himself only and only one person he gave it as a gift.
"Darlin'?" That term of endearment come out involuntarily, both Elliot and Shedletsky look at Builderman with surprise but Shedletsky quickly recognized that the woman is you, he met you briefly before he focused on himself. Builderman get down on his knees and inspect what happened to you, his gloves instantly absorb some blood that still wet on your face.
She's still unconscious as Builderman move her body to check other wounds but pause when his gaze linger on her collarbone. There's something dark mixed with red that's like dripping but it's embedded into her skin from the base of her head to the collarbone. [A mark where Spectre kill you btw.]
Builderman would feel concern and confused of why are you being forsaken, and when he sees the mark that's covering your entire neck made a deep unsettling in his stomach.
It's a lucky round since the survivor won this time. Unfortunately, you didn't wake up and drop your head to the table with loud thud. Builderman quickly go to your chair and bring you to the couch.
Builderman would try to stay with you, observing your condition why Elliot actively aid you. He can builds but he's inexperienced in first aid and he doesn't want to worsen your condition more because of his sloppiness.
When you wakes up, the first thing you said are, "Where the hell am I? Who are you people??"... Jokes on him for hoping you would remember every memories he has spend with you, guess the entity not so merciful after all...
He's the one who explaining of what's this realm is and round after round that they need to do for survival, he notices how you listen carefully and that alone wrench his heart tightly.
Your room are surprisingly across with Builderman's room, "You can knock on my door whenever you need me." He gives you a small smile which give a hint of familiarity to you.
Just like that, he lives with no longer dreaming about you but now, he's living in a place where his precious and endearing memories he has with you suddenly become meaningless when you didn't even remember it.
He watches how you familiarize with other survivors but notice how you have difficulty when it comes to him, how disoriented you are when try to remember him and that genuinely make his heart aching with sudden longing.
"Do you... Really don't remember me?" "... I'm sorry, my brain feels fuzzy and I had migraine when I tried to remember you... Are we close before all of this happened?"
Whenever he's in a round with you, he'll build dispenser in the safe place like the usual but rather than wandering around for the generator, he wants to see you.
When he found you, you're doing a generator and alone. He takes that chance to spend more time with you, or at least, be helpful for you too.
He'll try anything he can do to make you remember him again or, instead, build new memories once again with you. Shedletsky and Dusekkar are also helping him to pursue you.
Every memories would etched into you gently, cradle your face with such tenderness that will make you ache for more.
Slowly, you'll be his again. He can look at you and think, "There she is, my love..."
He would then give you something different, something that's in his reach but still useful for you and your survival.
He still give you small gift to out into your room, either something that remind you of him or both of you together.
Even though he's rough around the edges, he wants to show that he doesn't change from what he once show you before. He wouldn't change how he once treated you before all of this happened.
I have an ideas with many inspiration I read this days...
High school! Phighting and maybe mix of Block tales too. BT![Name] would be an NPC rather than a protagonist and they would be a helping side character that would give plenty information when the protagonist befriends them first or later... Yep! This is a high school romance visual novel!
This one is inspired by Route 0: A Mundane Life by @sleepyrinister. Their works really made me want to make one too but in my version, but I decided to not do it since it would definitely take so much time when I still have another series I need to finish... Maybe it will just side quest and short one (no promise to myself...)
And then there's a story of BT![Name] meeting Phighting beans, this one is more of semi-canon since beans in Inpherno can be a rare sight and quite impossible to coax them out. This one inspired of their og Phighters bean design and from merge a Phighting bean. (I'm feeling too maternal for this little one...)
And then a side story of BT![Name]'s origin, of how they got created and then got the title of "The False Angel". This one is original of mine.
And then another series again but this time is Countryhumans x Reader in my AU. The title would be "A normal life in different world." Yeah I know the title sounds a bit boring but idk what to put here. This series is to show how's [Name] and Pumpkin live in a different world rather than their own, there's a lot of one-sided romance in this series.
And then also a one shot story of P![Name] before and after the incident of merging. A life with SFOTH first before they were forced to live with Windforce then escape to live like a normal "Inphernal" with others. This one doesn't have any bond with deities like the OG, they're free but looks off compared with others.
Hmmm.... Decisions, decision... I'll finish my req inbox first then I'll take a chance with whatever comes first...
Hi again Star, so i was wondering if you don't mind?
What would the deacriptions of each of Azuri! [name]'s abilities in the phights. I mean i already seen it but i am curious on how they work, her passives and actives?
like how do they actually work with stats or attributes, sorry if that sounded odd😅
anyways, Yeah!
Oh! I'll try explain this as much as I can since I'm terrible at fighting scene/abilities... So I'm sorry that it's a bit messy and confusing. But! Here we go!
Range attacks ── .✦
I can imagine that Azuri![Name] in spell cast would be too powerful when it came in fight, especially on the Fireball one (the fire doesn't die down until you put it down manually) as it's almost similar with Firebrand's fire. So Azuri learned more and make the fire stayed only a minute before it extinguished naturally, it takes quite a chunk of health like 20 each sting burns (it stings for 3 times before it eases down) and it also eat Inphernal's shield too. (random numbers of how much it takes from the shield).
Lightning got toned down heavily since it firstly managed to overwhelmed Biograft's system and even burn an inphernal into crisps. Now, it's only capable to stun and give effect of confusion to the inphernal that got zapped by her lightning spell. The stun effect linger for 5 seconds, same with the confusion.
Ice storm is now more of defensive but still able to take damage. It's wasn't lethal to Inphernal but she still avoid the damage of possible frostbite when she overused it (yes, she could spam this spell but it ended up in the longest cool down among other spells). This lead into effect of slowness for 10 seconds along with damage only 2 in health but would draining the shield because I read that it pierces defense heavily. [Cooldown is 250 seconds]
[Spell cast would be randomized, but in game environment, player have choices to use spell manually or randomized it.]
And then there's Azure Blast, this one is deemed as Phinisher in Phighting world. This one have a wide attack so it's a bit hard to dodge it, in which make her rarely use it because it would be hard for the opponents to fight back equally. This skill is lethal and heavy damages that it one shot every inphernal that in the range (same like Hyperlaser Phinisher), but it's too powerful that it can be used only one time per tournament. [One time use only] And when she use this, her homes would glow like a galaxy, the sky would show randomize constellation/stars.
And to show that her Phinisher is ready, she will do Astral Chargeup. Inphernals in the tournament with her would feel a sense of dread and terror (and some custom dialogue for every Phighter but I'm too lazy to do it) and that also is already a warning that she will do Azure Blast at any moment. [One time use only]
Melee attacks ── .✦
A basic attack is actually her swinging her staff, the attack alone would deal 15 damages when she did it a bit too far but will deal 30 damages when she did it in heavy attack and in very close range.
Double staff happen when she grip her staff tightly and swung hard to the Inphernal's body. If she's lucky, both hits would landed on the cranium and deal 50 damages in total. But if she's failed to deliver, it would only hit limbs or torso which deal 30 damages in total. The inphernal would deal brief slowness and 5 seconds of confusion and possible dizziness. [In game environment, it would be a fast game to click what/where the buttons need to be clicked]
Staff combo can be a bit fatal since this move have three hits, it could deal a great damage to health and shield. When she attacks, it depends if the opponent can dodge the overhead strike. If she's succeed at the overhead strike, it would deals 50 damages and drain the shield for 40. But if she failed the overhead strikes from them dodging it, it's still dealing 35 damages and 25 for shields. If the inphernal unlucky enough, they would get Painted effect. [Their vision become into certain color of tint.]
Spin Dive also depends if the inphernal could escape before her plunging her staff from the top of their cranium, it's quite hard since when she does the spin damages, she gives dizziness/confusion effect. It deals total 40 damages when successful and drain the shield hard for 50, but if failed then it would deal 30 damages and 30 in shield too.
Albatross Dive is an optional movement. In this movement, she could deal hard on 50 damages on health and break the shield for 50 too. [Optional. Can be with Sword, Ban Hammer(?), and Coil if she's willing]
Passive moves ── .✦
When there's a call for health in her team, she would approach them and cast a healing spell for them automatically. It heals them up for 30. [When there's no other healer or the healer is in difficult circumstances, and when the call being spammed.]
When in dire situation, she could put up shield for herself since she doesn't have a natural shield like other Phighters and even among Robur & Reginald. [Automatic]
When an Inphernal cut her hair, no matter how much of it, the chunk of it would dissolve into the ground and turn into a fog. This would give her teammate advantage since the opponents can't see well in fog but they can. Her hair can regrow back after the round ended. [New!] *I'm fucking forgot to include this...
It's the least I could think of and I think she would be hard to play so I think she would be 4 or 5 stars difficulty to play... And yeah, I don't know if this is too op or what...
[Name]: "... So, you said this tech can make Pumpkin talk without the need of vocal chord?"
WHO: "Yeah!... That's what the maker said, I just didn't want Pumpkin experiences in elementary school ended up in foul mood..." He adjusts the seemingly a collar on Pumpkin's neck, making sure it doesn't feel comfortable for the small child.
WHO: "There... Now, little lamb. Try to speak a bit, just something simple, or lip sync the words."
Pumpkin: Fiddle at the collar before he looks up at WHO & [Name], feeling a bit nervous. "... Ma... Ma..." The voice that come out is more of synthetic voice but it makes him perking up at that. "Mama!" He give a bright grin to WHO at that.
WHO: Chuckle at Pumpkin's reaction and when he looks at [Name], his breath hitches. Your shocked yet bright eyes seem to captivate him immediately, he immediately throw his face away. "Oh wow!! Seems like it does the work!!"
Pumpkin: "Mama! Mama! Look!! I can speak again!!" There's some crackle from the speaker but still coherent.
[Name]: Oddly feel emotional at the sight of Pumpkin repeatedly call you mama, how much you've been seeing him always showing you that he loves you dearly and worth enough to call you a mother. "... Yeah, I can see that, Pumpkin... And you can get friends like you should."
Small fun fact! In my general AU, [Name] is fem ver so when she was still married, she was expecting but later miscarriage because of the domestic violence happened. That also the reason why she often feels too maternal towards Pumpkin, but sometimes she feels unworthy to keep Pumpkin because of self doubt and often manipulation that her ex gave to her after the miscarriage.
── .✦
Germany: "Liebling, mind pass me the documents?" Give out his hand in open.
Others worker confused of who is the workaholic call any of them Liebling, [Name] perks up and pass the documents to the country.
[Name]: "Here, I'll get another batch of coffee for you..." You get up and grab the empty mug from his desk.
Germany: Hums with a small smile, his small wings flutter at elated feeling just being with you only.
Worker 1 (Stella): "U-um, sir... Can I do anything to help you?" Nervous but delighted to help Germany at any second.
Germany: "No need, I'm fine on my own." Immediate rejection without looking at the worker. Stella walks away in defeat.
[Name]: "I'm back with your coffee, black one like you preferred" You put down the coffee to his table but not near the important documents to not put some accidental coffee stains. "If I'm not needed here anymore them I should—"
Germany: Quickly grab your wrist, using unusual sheepish smile. "Can you stay for a while? I probably need more hands here and I want you to stay for that."
[Name]: Intended to reject but got notification from your phone, you pull it out from your pocket and see that you're free from UN's work and free to help any countries that's need of it. Sigh... "... Yeah, yeah, I'll help you..." 'What a fucking two faces, turning down other but begged me to stay to work with him...'
── .✦
You know, they're the two countries personification that I'm mostly daydream/build scenarios of in personal time. And what do they have in common? Workaholic. Mostly about them walking back home and despite feeling tired, their most waited is their partner (in which would be [Name]).
And also...
UN's sleepwear, yeah, his wardrobe is pretty expensive and often wear silk robes to sleep. This is one of them. (And I'm also tried wing anatomy, a bit chopped but I like it!)
Imagine some stupid country declaring war on [Name]'s country.
Then suddenly they got jumped on by many furious empires at once.
Poor thing.
(Never happen unless there's already tension between C![Name] and other country, they won't throw some war like it's a child play. Not to throw some shade towards anon here!!)
Yeah, there's some few war that C![Name] gone through before become a neutral country. But there would be a war when there's a heavy tension in the country's relation and would lead to possible war, but that chance would be little to none as [Name] would offer a peace treaty with conditions that would advantage for both countries.
But IF C![Name] really got into a war with a country (Any country you can imagine, nothing personal. Just countries relation that got too much and lead into war), then allies would offer some support by supplies for you and the adversary would received supplies from their allies too. The countries know that C![Name] isn't a damsel in distress that need every help and supervision every second, being a country personification is being tough at every decision and rational of everything being thrown in unexpected way.
Imagine Ottoman Empire showing the cats in his empire to country!reader who loves cats so much. (I heard that the Ottomans loved cats a lot in their time.) He knows that she loves them, so he uses his love for cats to spend more time with her. He finds her very adorable cuddling and playing with them.
(Oh, I think this doesn't apply to the reader that is allergic to fur/cat. But then, a country personification rarely have an allergic condition.)
But yes! Ottoman would definitely soften Country![Name] with something he's proud of and one of them is a cat. I read that Sultan Abdul Hamid II housed nearly 1,500 cats in different breed... Yeah, maybe Ottoman would be hoarding cats anytime he sees cat that unable to provide by themselves. He then would lead you into Istanbul when he wants to show off the cat there, he loves how your eyes would sparkle up at the sight of cats.
He would definitely try to spend time with you by cat, his palace is full of cats and you would frequently visit his palace. That's a win win situation for him alone, he adores both cat and you so sitting in one place while he watches you play and cuddle with the cat is a sight he would have a hard time to forget about it.
Star, I am gonna hold your hand when i say this...
*bursts out sobs* The story you did was so peak, i don't think i deserved it but i will grateful when i do!!!
TYSM 🥹🥹🥹
ITS PEAK!!!
(Holy goodness, my heart stop when I saw this notification and read the rest of it and sigh in relief...)
But I'm glad that you enjoy my writing! It takes a very deep dedication and some small altering, I didn't think it would take month for it to be done honestly 😅. I thought maybe I could make it done in a week or two but goodness!! My writing block was killing my motivation and myself.
It's mostly self-monologue and slowly build the relationship between the protagonist in the different world. I was intended to put more but I didn't want to drag it more so I finished it like that... Still proud that I'm able to make everyone satisfied with it ｡◕‿◕｡.
B.E. seems like a man child at times haha! I feel Like France would make fun of him for it. Oh! Question just popped up in my mind, since he has outbursts of anger over even the smallest mistake, does he experience any other strong emotions? (e.g joy; when the British Empire won over the Falklands was he happy? Or does he keep those emotions to himself? or does he simply not have those emotions other than anger?)
Speaking of the Falklands, what was your B.E's relationship with Argentina like? Did it change when B.E. 'became' UK? And, how about with the Falklands?
Question about [Name] - do they know every country?/does every country know them? How does [Name] feel about every continent? (PS, when I say 'continent' I don't mean it as referring to them as beings. More of a "Europe is filled with countries such as Italy and France, both those countries are known for food so I view Europe as a food place" kind of way, if that makes sense LOL.) A tad bit dark here, but would any country go so far to the point to try and arrange marriage with [Name] ? if so, has that worked in any timeline? (and, if so, with who?)
Question of today !!! How do countries react to stereotypes? (e.g France with... this fella: https://files.catbox.moe/a5c5nk.jpg .) Do they just laugh at them? Are they offended? Or do they simply not care? Oh! And how do they react with "'true stereotypes'" ? Like how Frenchmen piss at the Eiffel tower Aaah I'm on a France slander rampage, my inner British is coming out /joke. ( ' v ' )
Have a great day!
-🐔🌞
Yeah, because of B.E. untreated anger issues, he constantly being teased by the French. That would lead some furniture are upside down or broken after them have an informal meeting, both have bruised but it would healed by the next minutes.
B.E. does feels another emotions and let it out too but it feels more controlled rather than his anger, he doesn't even know why he can't even handle his own outburst and often frustrated by himself. But in this day, he accept that his anger can be contained without letting it out excessively.
Tbh, relation between UK and Argentina already strained (someone's too bitter about the loss) but both keep professional manner in public space, mostly on UK side since he's the most polite person to talk with when no one trying to get the anger out from him. Both countries mostly avoid each other but it doesn't really last long when in a forced environment, both polite but you can see directly the bitterness from Argentina (The Falklands war history and aftermath is a mess honestly). Argentina's feeling doesn't change even when B.E. change to UK, his bitterness still present.
[Name] doesn't know every countries personally, some came from others mouth, some from the words being written down. And that lead to the list (I think I'm already said this multiple times at this point...) Of what countries to meet directly/haven't met yet in their cycle. Some countries also didn't know you personally, they heard from their allies or their citizen. That lead into curiosity and more countries that eager to talk with you, either out of curiosity or spite (this when their rival is clearly fond of you.)
Tbh, [Name] neutral with every continents since the job requires countries assistant to be able to go out from the countries once in a month, they're a bit on rare side since they need to take care Pumpkin since he can be a bit demanding child... Well, an organization (side eye WHO hard) willingly to accommodate and taking care of Pumpkin, even would handle Pumpkin when he able to tag along to go out from the country to another whenever you're busy with work. But then, [Name] is forced to stay in Europe until there's further change except when it comes about work, they're more in neutral side (they didn't mind to go different countries, it would feels like favoritism since there's specific people that would ask what are their favorite continent to stay in.)
And yes, there's plenty of countries that would consider an arranged marriage with [Name] as they can't bear to think of you vanish from their world or not theirs and got stolen by others. But [Name] would see the signs of it and would be very distant with the countries that scheme to get them into an arranged marriage, that would be a clear answer for them on point, [Name] won't love them if they just force the circumstance to closed you with them. (The countries are craving for the genuine love... [Name] just show basic kindness and they didn't get that much kindness so it's quite precious in their eyes.) And also a plus that you're under protection of plenty organization and you're not suitable to even married to anyone yet. You're still an anomaly and can't make you blend into society yet.
Countries do see the stereotypes being made about them, France would made fun of it but there's also a sense of embarrassment since he's the one that would love to make some design and made you to be the model. He doesn't want that stereotype ruin his own love in design, "look! It's the baguette lover—" Oop, that person just got fatal wounds by France's shoe (which is a heel shoes.) Countries really care of their reputation but would tease each other about it, unless when it comes out from stranger then it's not funny anymore.
(This feels targeted lol) France would be deeply disappointed to confirm that the true stereotype is true, (putting up France with his head in his both hand) and whenever anyone asking of that's true, they just go silent since they genuinely didn't know what to respond back without it looks bad.
And now, we're on the design again!
I love the outcome of UK in feminine representation while the masculine one looks kinda chopped ngl... And yeah, both doesn't have a present face except the eyebrows. But if to pictures the eye color, she has a very bright blue eye and by I mean bright, it's really bright that it would startled anyone when any workers in the building, there's been plenty of cases of it. (Btw, they're not a twin. I just didn't know if I wanted feminine or masculine and ended up with both instead.) And yeah, the veil was supposed to be aesthetic but it can be a prevention to not startled anyone much more yet, she can be seen a bit eerie for that.
Hey Star, I was really concerned when my request didn't came out last week?

╭┈ • ┈ ୨୧ ┈ • ┈╮
Such unfortunate fate to bring you here... But don't worry, we'll take care of you. Do not worry your pretty little head about going home now...♡
Warning! Possible OOC (especially on Azuri, her style of speaking is delectable but painful to write holy moly), violence and depicting of gruesome situation in Phight, some yandere theme, Azuri just wants to go back home, sorry if it's a bit sloppy and not interesting 😔 my brain fried in mid way of story. Btw, Azuri was a bit taller than Reginald and... I assumed it would be 177cm tall but later changed to 180cm in Phighting due to some error in the spell.

It's been a while after the coronation of Princess Cassie to take the throne and the attack from the Korbloxian clan. You decided to take a stroll in the castle garden; it's been a while for you to take a break after all of that work and talking. You look up and see Robur walking up to you. "Good evening, High Scholar, or I should just call you [Name] since we're out of the formal place."
You hum as you fix your hat a bit, making sure it doesn't obstruct your vision too much, you gaze soften slightly. "There no force of mind to call me anything you aren't familiar with when we're out of anyone sight." You continue your walk, and Robur decides to just follow you; he doesn't have any important things to do for today, after all.
The nights are quiet and peaceful; the sounds of crickets and fireflies are making the garden look lively rather than just empty and soulless. You hum a tune, something you always find soothing whenever feeling the silence is comfortable while Robur seems to be talking about something about his day to you. Your colleague can be a bit talkative when with someone familiar, and one of them is you.
Your grip on your staff tightens slightly, feeling another presence, and Robur also takes notice of it. His stance is more rigid rather than laid-back; his shadowed smile turns into a thin line. An intruder just crashed into the castle garden, which is unforgivable for the knights that take the stroll shift; you'll give some stern lecture later.
"Show yourself intruder, we may grant mercy if you speak your purpose and will to comply our words." You call out to where the sound came from; the bushes rustled for a moment before a faded figure shot up from the hiding place. Both you and Robur tense up; those silhouettes glare back at you both as your staff glows a bit brighter, ready to defend whenever necessary and not escalate things too much.
The air cut into an eerie silence which is alarming when your eyes widen at the sight of a spell cast; it's too familiar and fill your entire body with dread. Instinctively, you push Robur away so he doesn't get hit as the banned magic engulfs you entirely and leaves nothing behind except the dent in the grass path.
Robur frozen in his place, his eyes locked onto where you are supposed to be standing right now and not gone in a second. His head snaps to the silhouette again as he pulls out his sword; his feet move fast, but when he swipes down onto the silhouette, it disappears into thin air. The sword that he's been holding tight drops to the ground with a dull clink; his heart is beating hard against his ribcage.
"[Name]...?" That name spills out, foreign in his tongue, as he looks up to where you just went because of the magic cast onto you... He needs to inform the others; this is horrible news.
⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
You expect to wake up with a headache and your body screaming to rest, but no, what you find is that you're standing in the center of an arena. Your head still disoriented from the forbidden magic that you recognize the silhouette made, you look around and see there are people sitting on the edge of the arena.
You look up and see two demons with characteristics of yellow and purple colors; they have what you assumed were horns. "A demon... Where does this forbidden magic bring me into?" You look around and notice the arena is a dark place, saved from the post lamp with yellow light. You flinch internally when the yellow demon is yelling something into his mic, but you can't decipher what language it is. You look up instinctively and see the words "Kill the Wizard."
Your feet move instinctively and run into a supposed higher place; you move your staff upwards as you make the first move.
> You Cast a Spell [ Fireball ]!
You look at the group of demons that are running in your direction with the clear intent of killing you. A fireball was charged and summoned on top of your raised staff before you flicked it directly at the group, making the dark arena light up with the fireball you dropped onto them. You move hastily and do not stay in one place only.
You look behind and see their skin isn't even scorched by the fire one bit since you missed your aim, but their gaze is wide at the fire that doesn't snuff out at any attempt; luckily, it doesn't latch to their clothes. They look at you with horror as the fire somehow has an uncanny resemblance to The Scorch, the fire that they can't snuff out to this day. You, on the other hand, are doing this out of survival since their goal is to take your life.
Your stern gaze falls to the certain demon that aims a rocket at your face; you quickly do your spell again, and a shield appears in front of you as the missile hits the shield hard. The recoil makes the shield break but leaves you unscathed from any fatal wound. 'Continue your progress without hesitation... To succumb to panic would only exacerbate the situation and render your mind devoid of clarity; recall your strategy, Azuri...' You calm yourself, as you have been in this situation many times before, and this won't be the last, you assume.
A robot suddenly dashes onto you, and you parry the blades with your staff. You're glad that your own staff doesn't break that easily under immense pressure. You kick the robot away while fixing your skewed glasses and twirl your staff in the air before slamming it down to the ground.
> You cast a spell [ Lightning ]!
A lightning strike shot the robot down as it malfunctioned because of the energy from the lightning you cast; you just made a small frown before moving on, 'Do not harbor any regret in this moment, for a benevolent act may ensconce you within the embrace of your final repose...' You thought to yourself, stepping onto a quaint building's roof with the planks being placed.
You dodge a giant hammer that would crush your face if not for your survival instinct; you keep dodging as the giant demon swings his hammer. You find it odd before noticing another one behind you is raising a gleaming scythe and is ready to slice you into two.
> You use Spin Dive!
You grip your staff tightly with both hands as you start to spin, inflicting damage onto both the demon's front and back. You hear a yowl and grunt in pain; you jump into the air and serve a hit onto the giant demon's head. You hear a small crack as you land behind the giant demon and quickly move again and a dull thud as the giant crumbles to the ground.
You look to the side and see two demons, one with horns like a deer with crystal between the horns and one with a staff too, and in their hand is a wood... You jump backward when they shoot something like petals and gunshots; you use another spell again. As the attack only wounded your clothes, you dodged the attack.
> You cast a spell [ Ice Storm ]!
You lift your staff and aim it at them; an icy mist crawls up to them before it implodes. Their limb froze with ice and took some damage too; ice crawled up to their hand and momentarily paralyzed them. You then use another spell again.
> You cast a spell [ Fireball ]!
You raise your staff and throw the fireball at them, killing them instantly as their bodies burn and leaving only ashes. Your feet landed on the higher building. 'The hour is not yet at hand; time, in such circumstances, appears to languish interminably when one finds oneself at a disadvantage,' you muse to yourself as you hop from building to building. You get interrupted by a slash from a katana. You look to your side and parry the next assault yet still giving you a small cut on your cheek. You push the samurai demon to create a small distance before walking up to him again.
> You use the Staff Combo!
You jump and twirl in the air before swiping down her staff hard at the helmet. You can see a crack on the iron helmet, but you're not done yet. You made an overhead strike that hit the horn this time, leaving him in a paralyzed state. You float upwards, winding your staff back before performing another overhead strike, killing the demon quickly.
"Pray, on the next occasion, direct your aim toward the vital point," you whisper under your breath. You use your staff to cover your face as a projectile hits your staff. The throw was a bit hard as your staff scrapped your forehead, bleeding a bit, but you didn't really mind it that much and focused back on the battle, avoiding getting too brash or emotional.
> You cast a spell [ Lightning ]!
You did a quick lift of your staff and aimed it at the one that shot the projectile; the lightning was quick and unforgiving as it shot down, and the burned body crumpled to the ground.
You jump backward when a sword swipes at your face; the sharp edge of it cuts from your cheek to the bridge of your nose. You grunt in pain and close your right eye due to blood dribbling down from your forehead to your chin, some caught in your eye, which is going to irritate it if you keep your right eye open.
> You use the Double Staff!
You spin your body and smack hard the knight demon, striking the head first, and you quickly swipe with your staff again. This time, your staff strikes hard at their ribcage from the side. He falls to his knees, whimpering at the pain that has blown into his system. "The celestial bodies are not yet in concord for our encounter; perhaps another time would be delightful..." You whisper softly under your breath and perform another move.
> You use the Staff Combo!
You swipe your staff, hitting his head to the side. Then you perform an overhead strike, hitting his head hard as you can see his helmet crack under pressure as you push out of yourself. His health already low, he looks up and sees you winding up your staff and doing another powerful overhead strike again, killing him in an instant.
Your head feels heavy, but you brush it off, assuming it's because of the wound effect on your face right now. You turn and see the same one that shot a rocket at you; the demon aims again and shoots quickly without any recoil as if that were a normal thing to do. You can't dodge the attack, so you cast a shield instead as a defense since you naturally don't have one like Robur and Reginald.
Luckily their attacks didn't penetrate your shield; you breathe out lightly to calm your heavy mind before you moved your staff and a throwing motion with it, doing a quick spell.
> You cast a spell [ Fireball ]!
Those quick motions you do, throwing the fireball with rapid pace and giving no room to dodge, engulfed the demon's body in fire as a scream tore from their throat before being cut off and dropping to the ground. You look up and immediately see plenty of bubbles with demons that you killed, 'Such an unforeseen boon it proved for me, still upright as mortality's clock ticks closer to my destined hour.' You thought to yourself before moving your staff.
> You cast a spell [ Ice storm ]!
You lift your staff as a mist of ice crawls rapidly to a certain angle and implodes to the scythe user; it freezes the legs with such strong ice. You stagger slightly, your head swimming with dizziness. "Such agony, yet this is your penance from the start." You breath out harshly.
> You use Spin Dive!
You grip your staff tightly and start to spin; your staff hits the scythe user ruthlessly exactly four times before you back up slightly and hop into the air and plunge your edged staff into the scythe user's skull, cracking it open easily as blood spills out as you pull out your staff from the demon's head and reveal the brain matter to the ground, painting it cyan. Such weird blood.
You look down and see the ground is painted with blood and other matters; you lift your head when your ears pick up a sound of footsteps. You turn around and see another demon, but what caught your attention is the star between the bright pink horns and the one that he's currently holding right now, "A Subspace star... A most exquisite marvel for any individual to possess." You look at his face and see pink rot under the cover of the left eye and underneath the mask.
She doesn't look terrified or reckless; she's rather fascinated by your abilities, and she can see you eyeing her gear, the star-to-be, exactly. The one on your staff intrigues her deeply, as it almost looks the same as her gear; she hears you mutter something under your breath, but she can't decipher what language you're using right now. You then lift your staff again, but this time...
> You use Astral Charged Up!!
You can feel the energy flowing inside your body, readying for devastating damage you would do. Your hand feels electric as your staff pulses under your grasp, focusing on the last enemy in front of you.
> You use Azure Blast!
You slowly wind up your wand with both hands gripping it tightly; the staff grows brighter magenta as a four-pointed star builds up on it. The demon watches with awe as he realizes you made the four-pointed star, almost similar to his own gear, his star. He snaps out from his daze and throws his star to your side.
It doesn't give him any chance to breathe out or even blink as a loud beam crashes down onto his entire being, a devastating purple explosion that doesn't leave anything behind, not even bones. The star that the demon hurls to your side explodes; you cry in pain as poison enters your bloodstream. You can feel tears pricking your eyes as you lean heavily on your staff; you push your body to its death limit.
"I... I'm tired..." You breathe out as the yellow demon is telling something into his mic. You grimace at the taste of iron in your mouth; it feels odd but has a taste of familiarity in it. You tensed up when heavy footsteps walked up to you; your gaze lifted up and saw a big demon with heavy armor and wings. Her heavy gaze landed down on your exhausted body.
You can't muster out any energy anymore; every corner inside your body is aching, begging to rest. "... It's been a while I've seen you, High Scholar Azuri." Your breath hitched. How does this demon know your title? You don't recognize any of the accent rolls from her tongue; this world wasn't the one you should be in in the first place. "And it seems like you don't recognize me..." Her gaze flick onto something on your head... "And have same shape of horns like me too..."
Your body feels light as armored arms wrapped around your torso, bringing you up easily yet also rough. Your consciousness slowly drifts away; blood loss is a hassle after all. Your body shuts down as the demon guides you to somewhere else.
"What a mess you made... [Name]."
⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
You groan as you get up from the bed and hand massage your forehead but freeze at the feeling of something thick jutting out from both sides of your head and curving like an Exmoor horn sheep; it enters your peripheral vision too. You touch it and feel the smooth and bumpy surface before knocking it gently, it vibrates into your skull. "Where... Am I?" You look around and see how... Lavish is the room, with main colors of white, blue, and yellow. The bed is unnaturally big, but the cushion is pretty soft, which you assumed is not a cheap one since the material feels too expensive...
You slowly get up from the bed, noticing the clothes you're now wearing are more casual... A bit oversized since the collar of the shirt doesn't stay on your shoulders, you see your staff not far from the bed as it leans against the open window. It's a blurry silhouette, and you look to your side, reaching out and petting the table before you grip the bridge of the glasses. You then put it on, blinking as blur and fogginess in your eyes fade away.
"... Is this Splintered Skies?... No, the theme is off, and Robur's place has Kleos' statue... Not... That..." You pursed your lips at the sight of not a golden Kleos statue at the fountain but rather a demon that you met before you lost consciousness. Your hand touches the edge of the window, feeling the mildly cold air hitting your face, clearing your mind a bit. You lean out a bit, analyzing the surroundings you're in right now; the room you're in has higher ground, as you see how far you would fall if you leaped out from the window.
The door swung open, and that made your heart almost leap out from your throat. It's a surprise, but you would have to get used to it since... You are aware of how violent the demons are in this world. You turned your gaze to the door and found... Oh, he wears knight armor. He said something to you, but you can't understand what he's saying; you grab your staff and use a language spell.
After doing the spell, you can hear the words perfectly now as they keep talking to you. "—And for that, our deity seeks your presence right now and then." You hum and nod. "I'll be right there; give me time to dress myself up." You reply back with calmness; the demon stays for a moment before walking out from the room but certainly stays outside the room.
You sigh and question what this deity would seek from you and even bring you into this palace; you move again and catch sight of your scholar uniform folded neatly on the vanity along with your hat. You take the clothes and see they're looking new by now. "Huh... They also repair it too... How intriguing," you murmur before starting to dress up, putting the clothes you wear to sleep on the chair.
You take a breath and put back your hat, feeling it sit on top of your horns. "Far or near, I must brace myself for what's come in my path..." You mumble to yourself before walking out from the room, the demon knight that called you still there, standing on the side of the door. "I am ready; do lead me to your deity," you call out.
His posture is rigid and stiff, making you wonder if their deity is really that strict to begin with. You didn't rush your walking as you followed the knight; the demon reminded you of the knight in Reginald's court, though this one is more uptight. You start to wonder... What way should you take to bring you home? You have no knowledge of the forbidden knowledge; perhaps you will visit some library...
You halt your walk as the knight stops at the grand door; two demons push the door open, and you can immediately feel the air flow into the corridor. You lift your gaze instinctively and find a giant demon, approximately 8 feet tall, and she also has the same curve of horns you have right now. Hushed talking began to spread as you walked forward to the throne, reminding you of your former leader in Trinity, Kleos.
You stop your steps and look up, not with defiance but with respect and calmness, to face another higher authority, especially a deity. "It's truly an honor to face you properly this time; I'm High Scholar Azuri. It's a pleasure to meet Grace." You give a respectful and proper bow, the hushed whisper dies down, and you assume something else happened.
"... [Name], isn't that your name?" You froze, and that voice called out your other name. "It's truly my name, but people are more familiar with High Scholar Azuri rather than that." You confirm it before you look up again; despite being taller than a regular Robloxian, the deity in front of you is still taller, as your head only reaches her chest. "Then... I must introduce myself since you seem to not know me from your eyes only. I'm Windforce, the deity that ruled the Splintered Skies in Inpherno."
Your gaze widens in surprise and slight disbelief; you're aware that there's a different universe where something goes entirely differently than yours, thanks to your connection with the stars. You just didn't expect the deity in front of you to be the famous Windforce that had already gone into the player's hand. Now you notice the energy emits from her, powerful yet oppressive.
"So... Mind telling me, Scholar, how did you get here?" You can see the smugness of her smirk, yet it is also intimidating; you hold your ground as your lips are pursed thin before you start to speak again with a level voice. "I am here by an accident; there's an intruder in SFOTH's garden and casting a forbidden spell. I manage to push Robur away from the way, but I've become the victim of the spell. Not long after, I am in the arena, and next is what you see now." You explain with a cool head, ignoring every stare and pressure.
Windforce doesn't seem to move at all with your talking, but that didn't make you back away or cower in anxiety; you're taught and made for this. "... Pardon my foolishness of talking first, but may I ask if there's a way for me to go back to my own universe?" You ask again, waiting for any answer you can get. Windforce smiles slightly, and you recognize it immediately: amusement. She feels such amusement at your action... a slight fondness that looks misplaced from all the self-centered deity in front of you.
She leans forward from her throne, her hand folded into a fist, and supports her chin with knuckles as her elbow presses on the armrest; her other hand rests lightly on the other armrest. "Well, you then must find my brother for that, Firebrand. He knows how to bring you back." She answers casually, her armor creaking lightly with every stretch being made. You want to ask the whereabouts of this supposed "brother" of Windforce, but it seems like the question won't be answered by any of it anymore.
⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
Now? You're stuck in Splintered Skies and being forced to stay beside Windforce as she just tosses the newly born demons to the lower place that is called Craterdust Capital. You didn't get any freedom to search any answer you need to find Firebrand, Windforce on the other hand seem pleased to have you on her side but she knows well that sooner or later, you'll be gone and go search her brother who she assumed gone back to his deserted temple after he visited her region.
You have plenty of interaction with the demigod — Ban Hammer — who just talks a bunch of nonsense and even talks about himself most of the time, none involving any information you need. Yet, you caught a gleam of something unfamiliar in his body language: a curiosity about yourself. You didn't speak too much or too little, you don't want to tick off anyone who's beyond your capability. You still want to go back home safely as possible, there's still a chance for that.
One day, you just decide to just get out from the Splintered Skies and find a new place for shelter. The haven is a gilded prison with blissful demons in it, you feel suffocated by it and the deity definitely knows your absolute limit by now. You are also being forbidden to go into the library of her palace which is obnoxious! You need more knowledge of this universe or at least about this planet, you assumed because she doesn't want to let go of her play thing out of her grasp.
You wait until night comes, the sky is dark yet filled with some stars, one thing that always grounds your mind with reality, a connection that you've been familiar with. You didn't change into sleeping wear yet, you didn't need to if you wanted to run away from this place. You move your staff gently as you cast yourself a spell, murmuring the spell under your breath with a steady flow of magic trickling onto your body. Your body and clothes slowly become translucent as it creeps up to the tip of your hat, you look at the mirror and see no one despite you standing in the sight of it.
You then walk in a hurry, climbing the window that lacks glass and you fall to the ground, stumble a little at the rough landing but luckily your feet don't leave any evidence to alarm someone. Despite the advantages, you need to be fast since the spell you cast to yourself didn't last that long.
Your movements are blurred, you remember the path where Windforce brings you around, every crevice and corner mapped in your mind, every small whisper lodge in your mind for what path you need to take. Your gaze sweeps on the surrounding you're in right now, your feet stop before the edge of the floating island, it's dangerously high and if you got reckless, your cranium would crack open easily like an egg.
You can feel the magic you cast to yourself slowly fading and you cast something else for you, to slow down your fall and even soften the damage the fall transfers into your body. The night is deathly quiet, the air just carries the whispers of a wandering soul that's begging for an eternal rest, the clouds drift with no care and blissful that's dangerously similar to obliviousness.
Your feet slowly closing the gap and nearing the edge of the island, you can see more clearly the magic that envelopes your body with a gentle cradle. You then turn around, not to see if someone is watching you perform but to let yourself be tugged down by the gravity, your arms hug the staff close against your chest as the cold air bites every exposed skin. And with that, you close your eyes. Letting the magic you put yourself worked.
The impact is immediate, like a sharp punch yet resulted with dull ache but it still leaves you breathless for a moment. Your body rolling on the pavement, some part of your clothes rip open again but nothing fatal, some scrapes but you can heal it in a second. After rolling, you slowly get up and cast a healing spell to your body, you do not want to walk around while bleeding out.
After that, you look around and see the immediate difference. The lavish environment in the Splintered Skies with the more urban city, lively yet also a bit cramped as you can see plenty of buildings side to side without any structural placement, added with the floating island shadowing the capital almost entirely. While you're looking around, a certain demon perks up at the unusual clothes around the Playground region, considering that Playground wasn't a place for anyone to stay idle.
You sense someone approaching you from behind, you turn around calmly and meet with… traffic cones hat? And horns too that have the same color of the traffic cones and the cones edge shadowed half of his face, “Hello there? Newly tossed?” He asked and you can smell a faint something from him but you shake your head mentally, “No, I was escaping the cage I was put in there…” You clarify a bit but nod nonetheless, “But yes, I am the newly fallen this silent night.”
You can see a slight sympathy on his gaze before it back to the former laid back smile, “Well, welcome to Craterdust Capital, a place where Inphernal doesn't get accepted in Splintered Skies.” He spread his arm wide open, he reminds you of Queen Cassie a little when she's a little child. “For now, do you know a place? A library would do since I'm penniless right now.” You ask kindly to the demon in front of you and you notice something, he's a little shorter than you but that wasn't a thing you would think over.
The traffic cones demon perks up at that and smiles a bit wider, “Oh, damn, a library then. I know the best library but we need to travel to the Crossroads for that.” “Well then, please do lead the way, traveler.” You accept easily as you didn't sense any malicious intention or him being a liar. He nods and walks to a certain path, you follow from behind as the staff chimes softly to the air, the glow faded into almost faint purple from the crystal inside the staff edge.
The demon was a little surprised that you called him a “traveler.” Considering that he always travels in every region, maybe he'll ask later after bringing you to the library in the Crossroad. The journey was silent, no one break nor disrupt the silent pace of it, one side it's a serious one that was thrown into unfamiliar universe and in need to go back home universe while others is a traveler that coincidentally found you who just freshly fell from the Splintered Skies with no cracks or fatal wounds that need immediate treatment.
His gaze locks onto your horns, curved from the side head to the back then down then to the front, the tips curved into spirals a little. It reminds him of Windforce's horns but what piques curiosity is the content of the horns, it's filled with stars and constellations that flicker and pulsing. It’s interesting but he'll ask later or ask Ghosdeeri about it.
⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
The journey wasn't that long… Well, it wasn't that long for you as you assumed it would take plenty of hours and would arrive when the sun slowly rose from the slumber. It's still dead of the night as you see a grand of the library and the demon traveler pushes open the door for you, you bow slightly in gratitude, “Thank you for your kindness to bring me here dear traveler, may your journey come with grand safety and merciful path.”
The demon chuckles with a faint smile and it's more genuine this time, “Yah, you welcome… So, may I know why you need to go to the library immediately even after the fall?” He leans forward, entering the place too with you. You didn't answer quickly, letting yourself soak at the warmth of the light from the chandelier overhead. “I'm here to seek knowledge, I was forbidden to seek when I was in Splintered Skies by the deity from the Splintered Skies.” you clarify the reason you want to seek a library immediately.
You and the demon beside you perks up at the sight of the librarian immediately, a being that wore a white pumpkin head with blue stem and have a pointy carvings on the front which you assumed for the eyes, along with a unique antlers that comes from the side of pumpkin that have gradients that transition from light blue to more darker color. What's more eye catcher for you is the torso that bears glowing light blue heart symbols and is covered by appendages which also surround the sides of the pumpkin's base too.
“Yo Ghos!” “Welcome back, Traffic. Seems like your journey has been cut short and you bring a new face…” the demon who was called Traffic approach the Pumpkin being as you follow from behind, you can see that the Pumpkin person is quite unique from your perspective, almost resemble Dusekkar but you can't compare someone you just met now…
“Greetings, I'm the High Scholar Azuri, it's a pleasant to meet you today librarian. I hope we didn't intrude on your peace in a moment.” You bow in respect and greet her with respect like you give to Traffic too. “Good evening for you too, High Scholar Azuri, I'm Ghosdeeri.” She responded back and you immediately noticed the monotone in her voice in which you didn't take any mind for it, you know plenty of people that bear such a voice too.
“So, this one just recently fell from the Splintered sky and is penniless. Mind if she crashes with you, Ghos?” Traffic suggests that to Ghosdeeri who contemplates for a moment before she nods at that. “I will allow you to stay in the library, with a condition that you do not mess with my work and duty. You can freely access the books around you for the time being.” She accepts you easily and you understand the condition being put, be respectful and considerate for the host.
“Thank you for that, for I am in debt for your generosity.” You bow slightly, grateful that you at least have a temporary place to stay and possible answers being stored in the vast of the library here.
You and Ghosdeeri surprisingly get along well, you share some knowledge from your place and she will share some with you too. She also shared that Traffic would occasionally sleep in her library for a while so staying in her library too wasn't something she needed to comprehend that much, also shared some concern towards Traffic too since he tends to travel for a long time, it's a rare time that he came back earlier today.
You then start to learn the demon's language rather than stick with the translator magic to read the book, and notice that the demon is called as Inphernal while Ghosdeeri is a watcher that stays in the Crossroads, there are others in separate regions. You heard that Dusekkar is also here but the location is unknown until now… Maybe you'll try to search his presence but it will drag the times for you to search the path to go home.
You then notice a history book about an incident of devastating events that changed history forever, The Scorch. It's in casual pages long, something that you could read for one day, one and a half hours without any distraction. Ghosdeeri stays with you for the entire time when you read that book, occasionally filling in some context you may have missed… Which is odd since she’s not the type who would be staying beside someone, you ask that but meet with: “I am aware that I'm being officious but rest assured, I'm making sure that every knowledge you get is factual and doesn't have a hole in the context.”
You just nod but keep a note of the behavior, but what more of your focus is that your goal is on the Lost Temple’s blazing city, a place where eternal fire never extinguishes until the deity's death and that deity is Firebrand. You didn't know what or who are still staying in the Lost Temple region, a possibility of foes you encounter would be high chance. Ghosdeeri also explains that every Inphernal bear gear which is why they are called in such names. You then turn to her, tilting her pumpkin head slightly at the diverted attention, “So, dear librarian, are you also an Inphernal or something else?”
“Such a curious question, but I am not an Inphernal but rather a Watcher. Every region in Inpherno had their own Watchers like Blackrock, Lost Temple, Playground, and Thieves' Den. We were made by Ghostwalker out of necessity and to keep record of everything that's happening in Inpherno.” Ghosdeeri explains with a clear and monotonous voice of her, you listen lightly and take note if you ever come to meet other Watchers too.
Ghosdeeri then slows down into a more comfortable pace of reading and talking with you, her gaze drifting onto your horns, curious as to why your horn has a clear look inside as no Inphernal and deities have history of it. She doesn't touch or get close to see clearly, just watching with appropriate distance as she keeps notes how the stars and galaxies in your horns either shift subtly or more rapidly change… How interesting, she would ask more every time she can.
⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
It's been days you've been stuck in Inpherno, specifically in the Crossroads. You bury yourself into every book possible to gain more knowledge of the planet you're in, Ghosdeeri would put some foods and drinks near you so you don't go a day without food or drink. You're thankful for that and in gratitude, you also helped her around the library, something small since she doesn't want you to handle something too much as she knows how much you want to go back.
But this time, you decided to go out, get some fresh air and familiarize yourself with the place. You could get some snacks on the way and maybe a temporary job since you can't rely on Ghosdeeri all the time, maybe you could take a lighter job… You hope there's a part-time job offer around.
The warm air welcome you like a gentle cradle, you fix your glasses and look around as every Inphernal walk around, either oblivious or clearly gawking at your unusual type horns. You are already used to it and tip your witch hat a bit downward, giving a gentle shade for your face from the sun. You looked around and caught sight of a cafe. It's fortunate that Ghosdeeri gave you some money to buy snacks and drinks.
“Hm… An iced coffee would be nice for this day.” You mumble to yourself as you move to the cafe called Thieves’ Rest, a unique name and you recall there's a faction called Thieves' Den, you guess it's an inspiration for the name. There wasn't a long line but surely a lively place to hang out, Robur and Reginald would have a great time here in their spare time… You hope a path to go back home doesn't take a year, you still have responsibility in Astral Isle and In Trinity Council.
The cafe's door opens with a soft chime, your body enters first before your staff so you get more mobility. The cafe doesn't go into immediate silence but the talking slowly goes more hushed, you walk to the cashier and look at the menu. The cashier has a light blue horn that would resemble a cat, a paw made print on his left eye is quite iconic for a cafe.
“I shall have an iced mocha paired with brownies to be enjoyed in this establishment.” You finally take an order, the cashier was stunned for a moment before he quickly put up the order. Luckily it's quite cheap for beverage and food, you pay up and get a table number, classic and practical for every customer.
You sit down at the signed seat you got, letting your staff lean against the nearby wall. Quite a lot of eyes are staring at you right now but they go back to their own business, you didn't mind it and look around the interior of the cafe, it's cozy and not unbearable. A unique style of it sure catches plenty of exhausted and curious souls.
Your hand reaches up and touches your horns, it's a bit of a hassle since it restricts your hair and how you're sleeping. Plus, behind your ears grow like a feather and look like small wings, acting like an ear as it has a mix of deep blue and dark to light purple gradient. You would assume it's a wing if not for the self experience, it does move but only occasionally and it hurts when it gets pulled. You then notice a subtle pulse inside your transparent (?) Horns, the stars change again from Hercules constellation to Orion's one, left and right horns have different constellations so you can't depend on what time it is in your universe.
You feel a hard gaze trying to pin you, to make sure you didn't try anything harmful. You look up and see a bright color of teal eye which is similar to the horns that would resemble a deer with a crystal that's floating in between the horns, an eye patch too that is shaped like a diamond. His tired eye is staring at you hard, a glance at your staff crystal and you can see a glimpse of grimace on the demon's face.
You can sense the discomfort from the demon but your focus is immediately stolen by a figure that's hiding in the dark alley despite how bright outside is, the heterochromia you assumed is staring both you and the teal demon. You narrow your gaze behind your dark blue glasses but that figure slowly disappears from the alleys.
You snap out when a waiter you assumed is bringing your order out, his horn is long and curved with pink color, a cute color in your opinion. His face is a bit sour but he still puts up a smile, “Here's your order, enjoy your day.” You smile slightly at that, “I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your esteemed services; may the clientele exhibit an increased kindness in receiving your services.” It sounds like a compliment and also a blessing.
The demon was surprised but didn't say anything yet, you then calmly introduced yourself to the waiter, “I'm a High Scholar Azuri, most people called me Azuri most of the time.” You smile gently yet polite, the demon relaxes a bit and smiles back and this time, her smile is genuine. You finally have time to have a small rest, eating the pleasant taste of brownies and mocha.
Just then, another demon — very out of place with the armor and cape – is waving her hand to you a bit too enthusiastically. You furrowed your eyebrow slightly in confusion of why this demon wanted to see you again after all of that fight? You finish your dessert and drink first before putting down a trinket charm to the table, for the waiter — good luck and wishes for the best — and grab your staff again.
When you walk out from the cafe, you are immediately greeted by the knight demon, possibly a doctor, and a demon that has dual deep blue horns that point to the back. “Hello!! It's been a while since the Phight and… that incident too.” You assumed the incident being mentioned was “Windforce arrival” In the arena.
“Ah, yes. It's quite unfortunate that it ended like that. Alas, I'm here now without the need of supervision by the deity.” You answer politely, the knight nods before offering you a hand. “I'm Sword, it's nice to meet you! This is Rocket and Medkit!!” He introduced himself and his friends too, Rocket side jabbed Sword's side which earned a yelp. “I can talk for myself and him too.” He points to Medkit who's staring hard at your staff gem that's now pulse in rhythm.
You hoped you could live on this planet…
⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
It's been months now, you already visited the Lost Temple region but your goal changed after meeting the Firebrand there. It's lucky that you can earn some money through the Phight tournament, the same place that you once first time brought into this planet. Some Inphernals are quite friendly despite the nature that you read from the book, guess that also your own luck too
Flashback ── .✦
Your feet keep moving in the hot weather but you make sure to use some spell so you don't fall into a heatstroke, the region has the same condition where Player found Firebrand. It's a long walk yet all you could see was just dessert and cactus, “Dear Lord, was the book outdated or I'm lost now?” You sigh in exhaustion before you look at the high red Rock mountain and catch sight of someone but they flee when they notice you caught them watching you.
Just then, a motion caught your attention and it's an animal like a big bird. You keep continuing your walk but keep your awareness sharp, keeping guard but the bird keeps getting closer to you before you just sharply turn around. The birds halt too and tilt their head to the side, curious is what you catch from the body language, wary but curious.
You sigh, then approach the bird and stop a few steps away, “Beloved feathered one, do you know of a realm where the flame doth burn eternally?” you ask but stop quietly, “I’ve gone mad that now I'm talking to animals…” You murmur before the bird actually approaches you and nudges your side, you stumble by the sudden force.
You just go ahead and scratch under the beak and you can hear a silent purring vibrate under the skin, the avian then slightly lower themselves down and you take the hint quickly, getting up on their back but making sure not to make such awkward positions for you and the bird. The journey became smoother fortunately, but what about the Inphernal that spied you moments before?
It's probably from the faction that still stays in this region and by the color you caught, it could be Redcliff Wrangler. So you need to be careful to not get caught in some conflicts, the bird croaks something to you which makes you look around and notice a group of people that wear a noticeable cowboy hat. Luckily the bird didn't bring you there and kept walking to the path, the same path that you have mapped out in the library before.
Just then, you feel a sense of dread and hit the bird's body in warning, “Run, someone is going to kill you.” That hit doesn't give pain to the bird but it said something as the big avian sped up. You make sure you don't fall while on the ride, using your staff and cast a spell to the sniper director, you hear a brief yowl before being covered by the harsh wind.
You grip your hat tightly so it doesn't fly off, the big bird stops abruptly and catches you off guard and falls to the sandy grounds. Groan and cough come out from your mouth before you immediately feel the intense heat of fire, that catches your attention and looks up to see the blazing temple.
You quickly get up and motion the bird to get a place to hide and rest, the avian croaks softly before pattering away to the nearest place to take a shade and rest. You look at the fire that's blazing with no end but the heat slowly becomes more like a comfortable warmth despite it's still the same fiery that crackles against the building and the sandy ground.
“Esteemed Deity of Firebrand, I have come forth to pay you a visit and to discern the course I ought to pursue on my return home. I beseech you, grant me a sign should you find me worthy of your acknowledgment.” You open your arms loosely to the blazing temple but your skin doesn't feel the uncomfortable prickly but rather the comfort of a fireplace.
Then, the fire split open like an offering for you to come in. Without hesitation, you walk forward into the blazing fire as it closes behind you. A silhouette that's been watching from afar stares with horror and bewildered look before then runs to somewhere else, possibly to share the news to others.
Meanwhile, you look around before a deep voice calls out to you. “You… my sibling said a wizard would come to seek me… Did something happen?” You didn't expect the voice would have a gentle tone despite how deep it is, “I am indeed the esteemed High Scholar Azuri, or perhaps the name Azuri alongside [Name] will ring a bell for you.” You reply back with a small smile.
A low hums resonate from above and nowhere, “Ah, you're the one that once guarded my sibling, Windforce. No wonder she would sometimes talk about you with such odd fondness… but then, I'm afraid it's not me you should seek from.” There's a hint of regret when he said that to you, your gaze widened in surprise and deep sense of disappointment.
“But… I know one of my siblings you can see yet I don't know his presence yet as he remains unknown and I didn't even know where he is now…” He sighs as he's in thought for a moment, that sparks up your curiosity. “Pardon my curiosity, but might I inquire as to the name of this individual’s sibling?” You ask, full of determination once more.
“Hm… His names is Illumina, but I don't know where he is right now. Maybe he would give you a sign if he deemed you worthy enough. Fair warning, he would try to scare you off without needing to lift a finger and break down whatever is facing him verbally, he find such amusement in handling situations like that.” Oh, one thing you know that the book doesn't do justice to Firebrand. This deity is surely a softie but he's also kind enough to not make a demon that's not ready to face another deity that would be dangerous for them, a deity that would do anything to protect his mortals even from his own siblings.
“... Thank you for the warning and reminder, I'll take it to heart and make sure to be prepared.” Your lips curve into a polite smile and you can hear deep chuckles, a hand emerges from the fire — almost the same size as Windforce — and is putting something onto your hat, it's not quite heavy but not light either. “Here, as a token of a small gift for visiting me. It's a pleasure to talk with someone familiar, maybe we could talk later… But not here again, I'll send you some message to the place to talk with. Expect someone to deliver it to you.”
“Such a gift, I'll keep it safe and remembered.” You bow down in respect before the fire behind you opens again, Firebrand murmurs something but you can't stay any longer so you walk out from the blazing temple, untouched by the fire and leaving with a lingering warmth on your body.
The first that greets you when you walk out is the giant bird again, chirping loudly that you need to put your hand onto their beak to calm them down, “Pray, compose yourself, dear feathered friend; I assure you, I am quite well. There is no cause for such frantic distress…” You chuckle lightly as the bird slowly calms down and nudges your hand back with their beak.
You hand fiddles your glasses, feeling it slipping down a bit but pauses when you notice a group of Inphernals are gathering around you without need to show themselves too much, you guess that they notice you go inside the blazing temple but leave unscathed by the fire. “State your faction.” A voice rang out from someone as you looked up at the demon that has ivory horns sprouting from either side of their head, going outward before curving up into a sharp tip. A gleam of gold rings visible near the base.
“I am in no faction, just here to pay some visit.” You open your arm, a sign of no fighting back but still gripping your staff in your hand. The demon that approaches you doesn't get too close as if the fire would scorch them if they get any closer to you who's still standing close in front of the blazing temple. “Perhaps this place wasn't ideal to talk to, and I need to go back to Crossroads. My time here is no longer needed.”
You let your arms fall down carefully, not wanting to agitate the demon further. “And rest assured, I am no adversary, nor do I seek aught from your faction.” Your voice is calm and soft.
It went surprisingly well considering that you're not a native to this region, but now you're being held captive (not really, they just force you to follow them somewhere… That's just the definition of kidnapping). The birds that bring you to the blazing temple follow too, they just didn't want to be separate from you after all.
Someone that name Tarantula managed to coax the bird to follow her, you didn't mind one bit as you sat down at the one seat that was offered to you. You pull your wizard hat and see the front, it withheld the usual embroidery with a blue gem at the golden that wrapped around the base of the hat, one thing that sticks out from the white, blue, and gold theme is the fire shape emblem.
Your finger traces around the shape of it, it feels warm as if the presence of the fire will always be there no matter what. “So… mind explaining why you went to the flaming temple?” You look up and see the same demon that coaxes the big avian away from you, the Inphernal have two wide, conical horns that angle downwards; they're wide at the base and taper to a rounded point at the end, with three white stripes across the middle of them.
“I sought counsel from a deity, in search of guidance. Yet, I was proven erroneous by the divine, who bade me seek another, as he confessed himself unable to assist me.” You answer truthfully as you know that they can't guide you to Illumina directly. Tarantula — or fondly called Tara — hums before her gaze lands on the emblem on your hat, her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. She once had that emblem too but it was lost when escaping The Scorch incident.
“How did you get that…?” She pokes at the emblem but pulls away immediately as if she got burned, “Yeah, definitely by him too…” She murmurs in confirmation as she shakes her hand to get off from the burn, you hum at their intense reaction when the emblem is being touched.
You look at the sky, though the sun hasn't set yet, you need to get going and back to Crossroads. You put your hat back and adjust your glasses a bit, “I must take my leave now; it has been a pleasure to meet you all, and your generosity in granting me shelter is most gracious.” You get up and grab your staff that's been leaning against the walls. You notice a slight frown.
“However, fret not, for I shall dispatch to you a series of missives. You shall recognize them by the distinguished purple seal adorning the envelope. I shall endeavor to communicate as frequently as my schedule permits.” You assured Tara calmly, you can see her perks up significantly, it's such an odd effect to everyone around you.
“Alrigh'! Don't ya forget to send me many letters okay! I'll be waiting for it.” Tara stands up with a bright smile, not a grin that you know of since you're not getting blinded right now. You and Tara walk out from the shelter, the sun welcomes both of you and Tara once again. You can see every small whisper tumble around Inphernals as Tara guides you to the supposed small gate.
You bid goodbye to Tara as another demon approaches her from behind, they look at you under the deep shadow of the hat that covered the upper face. You tip your hat to them and they do the same to you back, walking the path you once took when you came into the Lost Temple region.
Unfortunately, it doesn't take that long to be stopped by other demons again but this time it is from another faction, “The Church of the TRUE EYE” if you're not mistaken. But what intrigues you is the fact that two Inphernals walk up to you without any malice… Yet. “What an unexpected delight it is that another faction exhibits such intrigue in my person as well. However, I do not possess the folly to lower my defenses merely because you have yet to initiate any aggression towards me.” You speak up before turning yourself around.
What greets you now is the same snipper that you attacked before she could shoot the giant avian, the other demon has a rather unique appearance. dark-blue-skinned inphernal with two sets of long cyan horns. From the top of her head her first set of horns curves out and in, before tapering upwards, and her second set of horns curves downwards in a short half-ring shape, ending in a hook-like tip. Her entire body is covered in dark grey-blue bandages, including her horns, the tips of which are exposed. What picks your interest is the animated dolls — three to be exact — with different emotions/personalities.
“What can I help you two with?” You ask with a neutral face, the one with dolls enthusiastically approaching you closer. You backed away in instinct and that is enough to make her stop and realize how she's approaching you, she pulls out a doll, the one that eerily catches every detail about your appearance. “Is it intended for my reception...? How delightful, what inspired you to bestow it upon me directly?” You didn't reach out immediately, in case of a sudden attack.
“It's a gift! You're the new Inphernal right? You are also in my vision, but I believe you won't understand it until you see for yourself.” The doll that looks jolly replies back instead, which you didn't expect but not a surprise either since Ghosdeeri really gives you every knowledge and facts that you need to know about Inphernals and capabilities they had. She extends her arms so you could get the doll already, you accept it in the end.
“Alright, gals, time's tickin'. Ain't no use gettin' all mushy right now.” The other demon — Scythe if you remembered correctly with the notorious popularity circling about her — walks closer with leisure smile, her eye lock onto your horns and hair in one glance but what she's more attracted is your eyes, they gleams with knowledge and beauty that she would cherish in her life.
“I know!! No need to be an alarm clock!!” You can't help but chuckle lightly at the sudden remark from the angry doll this time, Scythe frowns lightly but you can see a hint of playfulness in her eye. “Yup, yup. Father don't want ya gettin' hurt, and I gotta keep ya safe when we ride back to the church, ya hear?” She snickers as she tips her hat to you as The Dollmaker waves her hand to you before walking beside Scythe, going back to their church again.
End of Flashback ── .✦
Your thoughts are interrupted when a yell rings out, you look up and see Vine walks up to you with a bright smile. “Hey, [Name], me and others want to do a Phight tournament, wanna go with me?” She brightly offers it to you. Ever since you know how to earn money through a tournament, you would join occasionally to earn some money and that also gain popularity about yourself.
You smile slightly to her and nod as she offers her non-cursed hand to you, you accept easily. Both you and Vine staff are talking idly, more of her flowers that she's been nurturing for the last month, she also mentions some flowers that you said “favorites” are also blooming in her garden. You nod with a smile as you're listening to her, you've been talking with Vine whenever you visit her sibling's cafe or when she pulls you into her garden.
While Vine is distracted by her talking, your gaze drifted off to the crowd, especially to the alleys that both of you passed by. Those prickly eyes bore into the back of your head insistently until you gave your attention to him, you caught a glimpse of those classic teal colors he always wears. Your room also randomly had a bright red rotary telephone that you clearly remember didn't buy and a doll, the one that you didn't take nor buy, you remember well that The Dollmaker doesn't give it to you either.
One night, the telephone rings when you're reading peacefully on the bed. You didn't answer it at first before relented since it's been ringing for almost half an hour, you pick it up and immediately hear a delighted laugh. “Oh, hello~ finally, I can talk with you now… Oh! Let me introduce myself, I'm Broker and you're Azuri right? Or I should call you… [Name]?” Just like that, he hung up on you, you didn't have time to reply back.
Just like that, you get an everyday call and it's just him talking to you, maybe about something mundane or something that's a bit personal about others Inphernal. You don't take it lightly and reply back with a monotone or sometimes with sarcastic remarks, Broker doesn't mind it, at least he can talk with you longer and would definitely pull a blackmailing move on you if necessary.
You snap out of your thoughts when you feel someone shake your shoulder, you look up and see Vine's worried face. “Are you alright? We can just watch the tournament together…” You notice a slight tension from her wood hand gripping her staff so tight that it would crack anytime soon yet the hand that's holding your shoulder is gentler yet you still can feel underlying tension. Vine has been acting odd for the past weeks and you're not blind to it, you can see how she started to get more openly take your time, either in her garden or taking you to somewhere else that will take most of your time from others Phighter.
“I'm fine, Flower. Just… Thinking about something.” You assured Vine with a small smile, touching the hand on your shoulder. There's a small strain in her lips but smile either way, relaxing her body before lifting her hand to cup your face and caress your soft cheek. You tense up at the sudden touch, she notices it and realizes what she's doing and pulls away quickly as her face flushed crimson red. Her wood arm blooms some flowers as if corresponding to her feelings.
“Hey!! There you two are! We've been waiting for a while so we just check if you two really came into the tournament.” Vine jolts in surprise and looks away from you to find Slingshot and Skateboard are walking up to both of you, Skateboard just zoomed onto you directly and took your time to talk now. “Hey, you look a bit pale there, you alright?” He asks casually and you just nod as you regulate your breathing for a moment.
“I'm fine, just thinking about something…” You answer back, fixing your hat as your horns pulse lightly and push your glasses up again from slipping down your nose bridge. He hums at that before his hand reaches out and touches the feathers that grew longer a bit, it isn't sensitive or anything like that so you let him do that. He sees a loose feather among others before gently taking it and shoveling it inside his hoodie.
“C'mon, the tournament will start any moment without us there.” Skateboard speaks again, she turns around and sees Vine Staff who looks more rigid while Slingshot talks with furrowed brows and no smile on it. Her wavy smile doesn't falter, she doesn't want you to suspect something odd yet about them. “Sling, are you gonna keep talking or let us go?” That made both Vine Staff and Slingshot out from their conversation and back to their cheerful self that you are more used to.
“Yeah!” Vine Staff walks up to you and takes your hand again, which gains another stare from Slingshot at the intertwined hand from you and Vine. He wants to hold your hand too but both of your hands are occupied by your own staff and Vine's hand, it feels like Vine Staff is hogging all of your physical affection. But slowly, he sighs out and thinks of other things. There's new recipes so he could get more of your time with it, to be his food and drink tester, like an offering to his dearest.
⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊୨ᰔ୧₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹
In the tournament, you're in a purple group with Scythe, Skateboard, Medkit, and Hyperlaser. The yellow team has Vine Staff, Rocket, Slingshot, Katana, and Subspace.
It's in the Domino Valley with a goal of killing 25 Phighter in just 7 minutes, you didn't mind it. You then spawn in the usual place and wait for the sign as your hair floats without command, you gain more information about yourself that you are able to use your hair to do defense like fog and giving blindness to the opponent.
“Ready!? GO!!”
Valk screams to the mic as both teams move to their usual or getting the places new to gain the kill that's needed. You, on the other hand, move to the tower, your feet gliding effortlessly on the ground but on your way there, you face to face with Subspace directly. She immediately attacks you and you counter back with your spell too.
> You Cast a Spell [ Fireball ]!
You sharply move your staff before quickly avoiding the tripmine and possible poison, the scientist also avoids your spell. The fire extinguishes after a minute passes by as you keep fighting against Subspace, moving your staff and changing into melee instead, using your staff as a direct weapon. You grab the edge of your staff and do your move quickly so she doesn't have time to attack you again.
> You use Spin Dive!
Your body starts to spin as the staff keep hitting her four times, she feels immediately dizzy and her health drains fast. You jump and deliver the last hit, she recoils from the damage as her health down to 100 while her shield draining to 25 by then. You sense someone is running behind you and you quickly just finish off Subspace to not get your kill stolen. “Nothing personal, I just don't want anyone to steal my kill.” and probably lessen your money but you didn't say that out loud, it's not like Flipside Brothers would deprived you from money.
> You use Double Staff!
You swing your staff hard to her head, once from left as she falls to the ground and you deliver the last swing, cracking his cranium and head open, spilling toxic pink out as her body slowly evaporates into particles. Your staff is stained with blood too before you swing it to the side to make it gone, the Inphernal that once running behind you just slides to your side. You met with her shadowed eye of Scythe as she wore a smirk.
“Howdy, darlin', sure is a fine time for us to run into each other again~ Say, care to join me in sendin' some varmints to the grave?~” Scythe smirks widen slightly as she takes your hand and presses her lips lightly in your wrist, feeling the pulse and blood inside your vein, she could just bite down and taste your blood immediately, tasting you. But she doesn't want anyone to watch her do it now, too risky and you could be stolen too fast from her.
She can imagine how her hand grip yours, twirling you as you attack the opponent with your staff with graceful movement, she moves you as her gear moves with scary precision that cuts with precise coordination. You accept her offer and her smirk widens significantly, she pulls you close against her, feeling the warmth you always bear.
She drags you into more crowded places, guiding you as I'd both of you are on the dance floor with classic song play in the background. You move with grace while being guided mostly by Scythe, she, on the other hand, having the time of her life as she occasionally switches her gear function. That action gains attention from the watchers, taking a shot and filming it, Valk's comments keep spilling out, especially on both you and Scythe's performance.
You can feel Katana want to cut your neck but miss and cut your hair instead, the chunk of keratin dissolves and morphs into a deep blue and purple fog that covers the center of the arena. It's an advantage for your team since they actually can see in the fog but not for the opponents, your team kill count keeps climbing up. Scythe's hand moves to your waist, keeping you close with her and not wanting you to go too far from her.
You didn't forget to give Medkit some heals and +25 on shields which can be stacked, he's aware of your action but with how busy he is, he is only able to say thanks but his lips give a small smile. It's been a while that he's not the only one that can heal in the team, he constantly got targeted because he's a healer but that begins to change when you step into the tournament.
Time skips because I don't want to spend my head in this fight entirely… ── .✦
In the end, the purple team won. Scythe slows down her pace and ends the dance with her making you take a dip, you hand grip your hat as you close your eyes with a smile with a subtle exertion. The camera took in the beautiful sight immediately, the sight also caught Scythe's breath, her lungs out of air suddenly and filled with yours with every second she looked at your gorgeous eyes.
Their vision goes dark and two teams have a break after the tournament, letting others do it instead who's ready for another round of Phight. You spawn in different areas, the air cools down your body, it's a journey for you to get money and not burden Ghosdeeri while you're staying with her.
You immediately get a surprise hug by none other than Sword, he's talking endlessly to you as he drags you to somewhere else while Rocket follows you both, Medkit also tags along rather than exhausted himself to the bone from joining over and over again into the tournament. He knows well to not let you out of his sight when a certain scientist is putting too much attention into you, he needs to keep you safe, from that robot too.
‘... I still need to research how to reach out to Illumina, it's been months and my faction has been unattended for this long is not a good thing. I'm also trying to visit other deities too, Windforce just briefly but she keeps her mouth shut tight when it comes about your path to go home. Ice Dagger doesn't give any clue and gives vague details, Darkheart doesn't say anything, Venomshank also doesn't say anything about it either. Ghostwalker keeps his mouth shut tightly, Firebrand also doesn't say anything useful about Illumina's whereabouts. There's no path for you to take and just some grain of salt only, what should you do—’
“[Name]!!” You jolt back into reality as your body being shaken back alive by Sword, you grip his cape tightly as you can feel dizziness playing in your head. Sword immediately stops and lets you hold against him. He's worried that something happened in the tournament or you’re thinking of a “path” to go home, he knows it's quite impossible. Venomshank said that for you to go back to your own universe is through Illumina and finding the said deity is already impossible.
“I-I'm so sorry, didn't mean to shake you that bad…” She stammered out, apologizing for doing that abruptly. She notices how you zoned out and not even listening to her, she wants your attention and would do anything to drift your attention from your goal to go home, you're the greatest one to ever happen to her. “I was worried, you didn't even reply back when I asked you questions…” She murmurs a bit as she takes your hand into her, feeling the softness and warmth seep from your skin into her, it feels like she can't get enough of it and would dream everyday to hold you close and never let you go anymore.
“I'm just thinking of something, it's not to worry about…” You answer with calm demeanor, not wanting to be seen out of your usual composure. Rocket just watches in silent, he knows how much you've been searching a way to go back to your own universe and thinking about it is enough to make his heart tighten in discomfort, he doesn't know when did this happen, maybe when you start to pay attention to him too and not only Medkit and Sword, maybe when your concern feel genuine rather than a response of responsibility only.
Rocket grew up in a dangerous place before being adopted by Zuka, he's always had problems trusting anyone until Sword came to his life. It's been like that until Medkit also walks into the duo, it feels normal and he doesn't mind that but then you show up. You start to notice some small things he occasionally mentions, wanting to care but not being a helicopter friend or overbearing, always knowing when to cheer him up. He doesn't know when it started, when he picked his small polaroid camera and took plenty of pictures of you, taking note of what you like, and even cherished everything you ever gave to him. He then notices plenty of merch made about you, he tags along with Sword who bought every merch he can possibly grab, Rocket, on the other hand, bought something secretly but his mysterious buying doesn't go unnoticed by Zuka.
Medkit notices the odd look from Sword and Rocket but he didn't point it out, that would be a hypocrite of him to do it. He was a distant person, always been and never trust anyone completely, that's how his life has been. He knows Sword because the incident happened and he needs to heal a newborn Inphernal at that time, that grew into a sibling bond that could trust each other. He then met Rocket by Sword's introduction into the duo and by luck, he's the one who's responsible for the prosthetic that Rocket wears until now.
When Medkit first meets you, it's in the tournament. The Phight should have been done but both teams got pulled into a special event abruptly. At that time, she's grumbling under her breath but notices immediately that both teams have the same color which means… Her gaze moves to the center of the arena and sees a person in wizard clothes, what caught her attention is your staff which glows with the sickening familiar color of pink. When she was killed along with Vine Staff, she doesn't teleport to the spawn point but rather is stuck in a bubble like the others, she doesn't protest but keeps a watch on your movement.
When she sees your Phinisher, it fills her with a sense of dread and cautiousness, it's even sting enough to kill the scientist instantly. Before it ends, you get approached by the Windforce herself. Since then, she doesn't see you until she and Sword visit a cafe and Sword finds you sitting in the cafe, taking your precious time to eat and drink. Her gaze locked onto you hard and her lips pulled subtly into a grimace. And when you walk out and meet the trio officially, he doesn't trust you one bit, he never did even with your calm and sharp sense that's opposite of Subspace, who knew if you would leave them, her, in the end.
But then, he starts to pay attention to what you're talking about, of what things that would pull your attention if he talks about it, it doesn't feel like discomfort but rather a sense of relief that calms his heart down. It feels weird to be this relaxed around a new one, it feels like his distrustful mind can't help but feel a sense of calmness and always seek it whenever he sees you, he starts to pick up a sense of habit, taking something that you possess. He knows that it's the wrong thing to do but he can't help it, it feels like he's closer with you. Then it escalates with him taking pictures and some merch about you, not something big, just something small that he could carry everywhere. He's not the type to buy merch and just stick with something he made instead.
(I didn't make the rest because I'm losing my mind... Guess it ends here then ^_^)
Hey Star, Just here to check up on you! as well the progress of my req that i have been waiting for a month now, like i said please take care of yourself!
I can't wait for my req, if i am being honest, you are the first person in my time here on this app that made my req longer than i have requested to other people. (dw, their writing and arts are peak ngl, yours is not what i expected actually😅)
plus how is the progress so far?
Again, I know that you are cooking up great and be sure you are well and healthy by taking great care of yourself!
Bye!
Safe to say, it's almost done... Just need to write an ending and the continuation can be up to interpretation... Probably one of many project that take up this much dedication that I didn't expect of... Don't worry, I'm fine here. Probably take a rest after this request before doing others reqs.
And also, here another drawing of Azuri I made. A bit low quality since I didn't made much details.
I can imagine that R.E puts on his own clothing on [Name] whenever she gets cold in his country. This must be one of the reasons why he was happy that his empire had cold weather, because he could share something with her.
YES!!! Omg, R.E. would definitely do that to his darling whenever winter hit his country.
Most of the time R.E. would invited C![Name] when it's like summer, spring, and autumn to not make a hassle when his darling visit to his country. But he doesn't otherwise when it's winter/cold weather and he's used to it, but when he sees his darling trembling with cold, he will use his personal and fluffy comfortable cape for you to use, the gesture itself is personal and intimate which is what he's been looking for.
No, he doesn't order his butler to bring a fresh scarf/coat/ear cover. He would lend you his own fresh clothes if possible, that didn't stop him from buying you a ton of cold weather clothing though, he would definitely spoil you if that's possible.
I am starting to think that some of the phighters would show their love towards Azuri by this;
Make a lot of Merch and wear it with no shame.
play a visual novel of her dating.
make a lot of crafts like through any form of art.
take lot of pictures of her.
and a lot of more actions and to do with your potential witch mage lover for the Inphernals! :3
you can say about who does these things and add more if you want!
Idk who would made the merch and even do a visual novel but one thing for sure that Flipside brothers would commission someone to make it, either for themselves and to other fans too that admired the dearest mage.
Sword, Boombox, Shuriken, maybe Vinestaff? Are definitely the type who would buy and wear every merch he can buy, still saving some money if there's more to come. Rocket, Ban Hammer, Katana, and Slingshot, on the other hand, would be the hiding fan, buying the merch but it's for personal only, would be embarrassed if someone saw them with ton of merch in their hands.
One thing about craft is that Boombox would surely made some song with some of Azuri's voice because I remembered that she once singing a choir in Trinity Council OST. Maybe some limited plushy too.
Pictures would be a lot that it scatters around in the internet and public, every Inphernals admire her grace and discipline but what they find the most is her beauty and simple kindness. (Cause you know, being too kind in Inpherno would lead to death with how aggressive and dangerous the Inphernal nature is. So, basic kindness would be like a sore thumb but still appreciated even though it's still an odd gesture.) In which, are heavily appreciated by most Inphernals since she pulls it off very well without make it looks awkward and off putting.
Now, I made the Thieves' Den siblings... I swear I didn't procrastinating of the request, I made this while I'm also doing the work!!
The height is a bit funky but what I know that Vine is more taller than them two and Slingshot taller than Shuri by 3 inches but it's hard to show a proper height in gacha...
At this point, I'm just freestyle them to fit in my version but not changing it too much. But one thing I'm sure of is that I hate in process of making Shuri's clothes.
And... Into the shenanigan...
Vinestaff: "Shuri! We found someone that you would definitely like and we want them to be part of us!"
Slingshot: "Yeah, like Vine staff said. They will be part of us for today on!!"
Shuriken: 'What in the Swords happening while I was away last night?? Did something happened when I'm not present/here??' Confused as hell of why would her siblings act like this to someone who she occasionally saw whenever she was being a waiter and vigilante.
Vine staff and Slingshot just joke about it and want BT![Name] to play along with them, that made Shuri a bit wary but accept you nonetheless even if you're not part of them yet.
Which frog do you think B.E hates more? KOF or Nap. France?
B.E. hates everyone equally, especially to France personification. He hates everyone except himself and England with Scotland (just slight hate but not that severed with others), he won't bother if the country/colony wasn't worth his time. But who he can't even hate one bit is his darling (it's [Name]).
But when it involves his darling, oh he would hate more deep that it would be "hate murderously". His feeling for his darling already run deep that I have perfect quotes for it: "Show me your thorns and I'll show you hands ready to bleed." And "In loving me, you hold a knife at my throat. In loving you, i tell you where exactly to cut." So when someone tried to steal his darling actively like Nap.France, he's willing to spill blood. KOF is more of passively lure his darling so B.E. would just do a diplomatic issues more.
(... Damn, I really use quotes from left to right.)
Honestly, Country [Name] with all Old Countryhumans in a meeting in the same room seems like absolute chaos, especially since most empires hate/dislike each other, and they all love [Name] (This fact would make their hatred even worse). It would be funny seeing them trying so hard to be polite to each other just to not make her uncomfortable.
Yeah... I can imagine how awkward it is, C![Name] need to sit in the same room as plenty countries that most dislike/hate each other but need to work together to prevent something. It's so awkward that you can hear a water drip from the background. It's either chaos or awkward silent since they didn't want a bad impression to you have about them.
So, most of the time, the meeting just personal between two personification unless it's an urgent one. Other than that, C![Name] can't handle it and probably shush them away if it's possible, she would choose to live as a civilian rather than a figure that begging a subject of their love. She would indulge it in a few time but she would die if the countries around her are fighting because of her in one of few factors.
