@empulse - ❛ we could die here. it’s an option. it’s not my choice, but it’s an option.❜ - chelsea

"Oh, honey~" It's drawn out in her southern drawl, that's been mixed with socialite sparkles and sultry charm from her years of both climbing up the social and sinner ladder. A hand that would usually go to grab the cute lil chief's chin - should they ever need any encouragement or ease in similar situations - goes instead to hold EMP's face, squishing her cheeks between thumb and middle finger. "Stop thinking of the negative options here. It'll only make you crumble faster." Her stare is loving yet intense, obviously caring for the other, yet also obviously wanting to inject that love with full force to make EMP shut her anxious trap.

Yet - oh - the caring should come first. Chelsea heaves out a sigh, knowing that fully well, before she changes position. Hands crawling up to the back of EMP's head, before hugging and cradling the lil sinner to her big bosom. Soft, comforting, yet barely any room to breathe - not the Chelsea wouldn't mind just carrying the cutie all the way through this mission and back home again. But no - stroking short, blonde locks, while also nuzzling that head filled with worry - Chelsea couldn't help but dote on her a lil too. "Not that I'd like a gem as sparkly as you lose it's luster. Sitri and I are here to protect you, so there's no reason to be afraid~"

@empulse - ❛ fifty seven confirmed kills myself. ❜ horo LMAO

"Oh rea~lly?" The mocking tone reverberates in the room they were both sat in, both of them with controllers in hand and chowing down on the chips lovingly requested by the chief for the pantry. They're both getting crumbs everywhere, which no one will be happy about, and that they'll both point at each other and mock at some point. But a different conversation piece has now plagued their minds instead -

"How'd you get those kills confirmed, exactly? With the baby monitor attached to your binky you use so they don't hear your whining?" Was that a good jab? Did that even make sense? Horo doesn't care - as long as she feels proud of it, then yes it made absolute sense. "I'll have you know that Zoya and the others in the Legion always count and congratulate me on my kills. So I at least have 128~ confirmed for me." The smug smirk on her face says it all, buttons on the controller mashed without thought but with perfect technique, slightly bouncy on the couch they're both seated on.

" fine! you can come over; but bring every blanket, pillow and fluffy item you own. "

{ Blanket Fort Prompts- x !! }

"Y-Yay!! Thank you! I'm really happy you don't mind. I promise it'll be fun. And yes, got it: I'll bring all that!" As he continues talking to Emp on the phone, Shuichi heads to his closet to pull out a big duffel bag, so that he could begin stuffing pillows and blankets in it. He even-shy as he was to do so-plopped a couple of plushies inside as well.

And then in his bag, he packed a change of clothes for tomorrow morning, and pondered if he should also pack his pajamas, or just change into them now and just head to her house already in them. After a moment of thinking about it, he thought it’d be easier to just do the latter, to already get it out of the way. "Okay, I'm packing as much of those things as I can. Is there anything else you'd like for me to bring? I’ll bring some snacks as well if you’d like!”

@empulse: always be the smartest guy in the room . - hella!

" wrong. " what an idiot! someone remind her why she was the unlucky one that ended up being paired with idiot emp... " that's not how it goes, it's never be the smartest person in the room. " and when the room only consists of herself and emp, hella is always stuck being the smartest person.

she sighs heavily, shoulders slumping for a moment before she shakes her head. " stupid syndicate, you're never have a problem with that, will you? is there anything in that big head of yours? "

@empulse asked : ❛ how is it you’re never scared? ❜ demon

with his shield heavy on his arm, he walks a single pace in front of the girl, leading the way to face danger head-on if it crossed paths with the two. demon moves swiftly and surely, his expression unchanging as he guides the archer through a heavily contaminated building, tasked with clearing the stairwell out for her to reach the top of the building so she could work to clear a larger area easily. his only mission was to protect her, and he would do so without hesitation.

they round a corner and a corruptor roars and staggers its way toward them and he hears emp let out a scream. he turns his arm so that the monster crashes right into his shield and falls flat on its back, and then he brings the bottom of his shield down on its neck, taking its head clean off. his free arm outstretches towards her, wrapping around her trembling shoulders and tugging her along and up yet another set of stairs. they hadn't ever really held a proper conversation before, he mostly ignores all of the sinners back at the mbcc and does his missions quietly, but upon hearing her timid voice speak up he feels his heart being gripped, his mind wandering back to his sister, vera. he wonders if she was scared when she was taken, and what her last moments were like in this world.

pale hues flicker back to her and he shoots her an awkward smile. ❝ because i've already lived the scariest moments of my life, ❞ demons responds softly, climbing the stairs two or three at a time, but not letting her fall too far behind. ❝ you don't need to be scared whenever i'm with you, i won't let anything or anyone lay a hand on you. ❞ the moment he says this another corruptor appears, this time racing down the steps towards the two of them, but demon simply knocks the creature over the railing and allows it to free fall to his death. turning back towards emp, his lips soften into another smile. ❝ now, let's get you on the roof so you can get the job done. ❞

@empulse​​ said: i rarely make mistakes. - hi earl :'D

AS SAID BY THANE KRIOS PROMPTS

   “  Someone who frequently made mistakes would hardly be fit for the title of Archer Queen of Syndicate. They’d have been dethroned quickly if that were the case. Wouldn’t you say?  “  Earl responds calmly, arms folded behind his back as he observes EMP.

   It wasn’t particularly HARD to find information on her, nor did he have much interest. She wasn’t a threat to Legion in any form, so simple word on the streets and titles were enough information to operate on in addressing or interacting with her. No need to make a file of information like Earl was prone to doing when it came to the other gangs or certain dealers that crawled around the streets of Syndicate. Her talents were undeniable regardless of what might be said about her personally.

   “  Besides, Legion has no interest in those who lack in skill. If we didn’t believe in your skills, I wouldn’t be here.  “  He didn’t waste time with MEDIOCRE. Even those hired by Legion for a time at least briefly reflected Legion itself ; Earl would not let it be tarnished nor those undeserving be able to flex such a connection. Most things could be done by Legion itself. Technically this too could be done by a couple members. But hiring outsiders was occasionally beneficial.

   “  Because of your reputation, Legion is deciding to offer a deal. There’s a task we want you to participate in, and in return, you will be rewarded handsomely as long as you complete it. But given your reputation and rarity for making mistakes, I trust that you will have no problem completing it. It shouldn’t be anything too difficult.  “

"do you like pudding? .... puDDING DEEZ NUTS IN YOUR MOUTH"

     ‘  EMP  ,  I’m  literally  eating  pudding  right  now        ‘  

     Pricilla  lifts  spoon  filled  with  chocolate  pudding  ,  wiggling  it  dramatically  for  attention  before  she  takes  a  bite  ...  only  to  nearly  choke  on  it  the  moment  joke’s  punchline  hits  her  like  a  truck  .  Face  contorts  ,  rabbit  fighting  the  coughs  rattling  lungs  until  she  can  manage  hacking  out  a  response  .  ‘  I’m  allergic  to  nuts  !!  GROSS  !!!  ‘

[ragingsands]

zaps her and runs-

With her claws entangled in EMP's braid, she has managed to catch the girl right before she could run a whole distance.

If her menacing tone spoke nothing of the threat behind her eyes, then her smile would be the deliverance.

"Oh? And you think you could simply run after that?"
