{Cont!} || @bykacie !

This is unexpected, to say the least. This castaway had appeared to be asleep like all the others, and although their features suggest that they hail from a planet unfamiliar to Olimar (likely located on the outskirts of the inhabited sector), one’s species shouldn’t matter when it comes to the Onion.

So why, then, did it reject them…? Could it be that this lost soul has the strength and skill to survive without the Leaves on a planet that has defeated so many others?

Olimar waits patiently for the castaway to rise to their feet and express their frustration. He won’t apologize for trying to save their life, but he won’t hold their anger against them, either. This must be as confusing for them as it is for him.

Part of him wants to test their abilities to see for himself whether he can trust them to keep themself alive, but the Onion has already made that assessment for him. For now, he must treat this stranger as a capable survivor. So what else can he do to help them?

“You’ll want Pikmin,” the Leafling murmurs half to himself, seemingly ignoring her comments completely.

“Come with me. I will answer your questions and provide supplies. Only then will you be able to prove that you are skilled enough in dandori to thrive here.”

@bykacie continued from here

“So you think that people like you are where we came from?”

She’s laid in the grass with him, voice quiet because it doesn’t have to be loud. It’s so easy to talk about this with him, so much easier than having some stupid conversation at a coffee shop. Rain understands violence, was raised on it. It’s different, Lee’s way of experiencing it is different, but it’s close enough that she understands.

“Or do you think that they were just doing it for fun?” A soft pause. “I mean, I’m sure it is fun for you too, but you know what I’m trying to say.”

"I do know." It sort of is fun for him, but for the most part he just feels fuller and not much else when he eats.

Lee rolls onto his side to look at Rain. The grass muffles the noises around them, with one ear pressed against the cool blades and the dirt. Everything's quieter tonight. More muted. It can make talks like this better.

"I think it's like with humans and Neanderthals. We were sort of the same, and married each other and continued our lines, but we were very different. Maybe there was more to Eaters at first and it sort of... diluted or something. Like how you have to have parents with the right genes to end up blonde or having certain ear shapes or something. Up against humanity, loving them and eating them and fucking and all of that. And now we're here."

“ BLESSED DAY, MA'AM. ” pious is she, chestnut hues peering upon @bykacie. arms folded before her form, “ we've been sent good weather. ” she never was good at making small talk with adults. / sc.

@bykacie || Cont. with Nadine.

Lisette grins, feigning ignorance. Gamers are a dismal little group so easy to rile up & it does her heart good when she can manage it. She gives them a questioning look, eyebrows dipped in confusion. "Tetris ? Did you mean to say tetrahedron - like, a pyramid ? How would you play a pyramid, pray tell ?" She rests her chin in her hands and looks up earnestly at them, eyes wide & innocent before she cracks a toothy grin. " Have you ever played the nintendo classic 'zombies ate my neighbors' ? The soundtrack was so good ... I do enjoy a good synth full soundtrack. I also enjoy the Donkey Kong country, and all the little Italian brothers games. I also find horror games to be quite exciting. "

“that's  funny,  you  didn't  say  that  last  night.” Nadine

"Last night I was emotionally compromised and needed the physical contact," Beth grouses. "But typically cuddling is by invitation only–and right now, you don't have an invitation."

[loveallowed]

@bykacie because i too am having feelings about forrest.

"Sweetheart," Ellie takes a slow step forward; closing the space between them. Her hands extend, fingers wiggling in invitation should Forrest want to take her hands for grounding reasons. "You understand that you matter, don't you? That you're important? That the world wouldn't be the same without your smile? Without your never-ending kindness?"

@bykacie asked:

❝ i know we don't know each other that well but if you wanna talk about it... ❞ Forrest

Hesitation was obvious. He sat there idly, chewing on his nails as he watched Forrest closely. Those hazel eyes darted away for a split second, before he looked back to the other, heaving a sigh.

"It's. Weird." Steven finally spoke, unsure of how to articulate it. "I've never known why it happens...But I'll just get back up, after dying. Get up like nothing happened, all healed - no broken bones, no bruises, nothing."

VERSE ROULETTE : DARK MATTER (supernatural au).

❛ no way. yours is way better than mine. you get to go anywhere, or anywhen, and i can . . . turn the lights out ? ❜ it is definitively an understatement of what the astrophage has done for him : that lab incident had been traumatic, but left him able to not only consume light but project it, refract it. if he really gave it any dedication it might be powerful, worryingly so. right now it's just an easy way of lazily switching everything off before bed. nadine's abilities leave him wanting, a curious man who would take any glimpse of past or future if so given to him. he's not so naive however to outright believe the grass is always greener, is sure it comes with its own fair share of pros and cons.

it's definitely way cooler, though. everyone knows about time travel, but if i started explaining my powers to people it would be a whole other kettle of fish. no, not like johnny storm. i can't exactly go 'flame on' and it's actually a lot more like dragon ball z, but way less awesome.
