The thought broke through it's mind, burning light bleeding through it's sensitive senses, a distant wailing sending a deep and primal fear through it's translucent body. It trembled slightly, causing the stagnant waters of its prison to ripple. The violating wails from the space outside were soon drowned out by a different sound—not as glaring or dangerous in it's intensity, but rhythmic in a way that felt oddly-…soothing.
The figures outside, the 'white coats' as it knew them, were scurrying about. Perhaps there truly was a predator nearby to fear? It was hard to see them, the bright, burning glow beyond it's cage being far too much for it, ebbing and flowing in it's severity—yet, eventually, it knew the white coats were all gone. Their words were harsh before it could sense them no longer.
"I don't care who he is! Someone just deal with him already!"
"He's mocking us! Playing that stupid 'music' over the speakers! Someone get that blasted intruder!"
It felt exposed. It was left alone, in it's cage. It needed help. Needed to touch… It reached out a translucent 'hand'…
Then—there was a new sound. A new voice.
"Man, you guys have really gotta up your security, those sentry bots were built like five sols ago~!"
It wasn't like the usual 'loud voice' that spoke throughout the space, without any heart or rhythm. It was-…different. New. Suddenly, a loud thud sounded from within it's chamber, the water within shifting and slowly pulling downwards. Was it time for 'tests'? That's what this usually meant. It couldn't remain like this. It needed legs. Clumsy, heavy legs, curled up beneath it as the weightlessness of its home was slowly drained away and his clear prison door was opened to the dry air.
Everything was louder now, but this-… 'music'? It didn't dislike it. It definitely preferred it over the wailing. The burning lights cooled, replaced by a more familiar, more welcome color. Where had it seen it before…? Now, it was exposed to the outside, the black box around its prison, where the white coats looked at it and spoke among themselves—and in the back of that space, a knocking rang out. Once, twice, three times and a panel broke loose. Legs dangled down from the top of the space, a dark figure gripping onto the edge of the break it had made before dropping down and rolling forward across the floor.
That one-…not a white coat? The strange, dark abnormality looked over at the imprisoned being. This thing-…it has purple scales? No-…not scales. Purple! That's it-..the color. It's face is purple. It made the purple?
"Huh-? What the f-…? Well, I did not expect this-" The dark and purple thing cocked its head. That voice. It was on the Loud Voice before. "That must have been what the 'containment protocol' was- Well, good thing I deactivated it." He approached, crossing the space—weaving between the tables of the white coats—climbing up the base of its clear prison and finally leaning in past the open door, reaching out with his hand. The white coats never got this close… This was different. This was new.
"C'mon! Let's get moving, not much time!" It looked up at the New. The Purple. Curious eyes practically glowed up at him, the imprisoned slowly tilting it's head. It reached out with its 'hand'. Its hand. It fit rather comfortably in his.
"Can you stand?" That fun voice came from behind the purple face. It nodded slowly.
When's the last time your OC hurt someone emotionally? What did they do?
What does your OC's love interest dislike about them? (And in reverse?)
YOU WANTED ALL THREE QUESTIONS FOR EACH OF THREE BOYS POOKIE??? I love you.
(2nd question was also asked by @laliluluho)
Ask list here!
I guess!!! I'll start with Rinji!!!
What do he and Robin fight about? Robin IS NOT!!! Allowed in the kitchen. Please stop burning the cookies <3 he is making charcoal <3
The last time Rinji hurt someone emotionally? Not that long ago, chronologically at least. He sort of broke a promise to Robin that he wouldn't do anything foolish or put his life in danger for the sake of others again, and then, uhhhhh, the last area of Dawntrail (7.0) happened, and the risks involved. He left Robin behind at the gate.
How you told me to answer this last one is what Rinji thinks that Robin dislikes about him (otherwise you know the answer already smhh), soooooo... Rinji definitely worries that Robin doesn't like that he's not a homebody. That despite his best efforts he can't quite fully settle down, and Robin might despise that.
As for what Rinji dislikes about Robin, probably the fact that he knows full well that he's going to die and leave Robin alone someday. It's simply a fact that the immortal ancient is going to outlive him, and Rinji himself already struggles with the fact that he's going to outlive almost everyone else he knows because of his own lifespan. He weirdly can't help but feel a bit selfish about it. He's always hated the idea of outliving love, and a small part of him hates that he can never be Azem for Eros.
Now onto Nevermore!!
Oddly enough, I can't really see Nevermore and Blanche properly fighting over anything, at least not yet. At most it'll come from simple miscommunication or maybe Nevermore doing something stupid.
When's the last time Nevermore hurt someone emotionally? Pookie, have you ever been emotionally scarred by a game of league? Yeah.
As for what Nevermore thinks Blanche doesn't like about him…........ Honestly it's probably lumped in with his usual insecurities, but he has no real reason to think Blanche actually hates him in any way. Just simple things like, "Maybe I look weird to him?" or "Maybe I act like too much of an oddball?" or "Does he even like music???" That sort of thing :D
What Nevermore dislikes about Blanche though... Well it's kind of double sided, because he does love answering weird questions and showing Blanche the galaxy and things like that, but he's very much not equipped to properly educate the sheltered aquatic alien on a lot of things, and he almost worries that he's sort of taking advantage of Blanche's ignorance in a way. Part of him thinks that Blanche will leave as soon as he realizes that Nevermore isn't his only option.
And finally, as personally requested, Tal!
(We have not really done ANYTHING with these two yet so im kinda just spitballin' here.)
What do they fight about? Svàfnir saying for the umpteenth time to take the MUDDY, DUSTY, CRUMBY ASS BOOTS!!! OFF!!! INDOORS!!! And for Tal to wash his stinky smelly feet.
When's the last time Tal hurt someone emotionally? Me. Personally. When he brought me a venture coffer with the wrong kind of metallic blue dye. Not even the Radiant Rapids color. Smh my head.
Tal probably thinks that Svàfnir could never really like a rather honest-living man like himself. He feels like someone as beautiful as Svàfnir probably deserves to get properly pampered and spoiled by a handsome noble, instead of coming home to a man with dirt under his nails.
And in the same vein, Tal dislikes that about Svàfnir, that the man is so pure and pristine. He feels like he shouldn't touch Svàfnir. Tal feels like Svàfnir is so far out of his league that Svàfnir may as well be on another star entirely.
PHEW, that's everything!! Wheeeee i loooove yapping
