“But Taa-chan is the hotter twin. It evens out!!!” Don’t take his friendship card he worked hard for that!!!!

[riicinus]

ღ 　 He knew that face. He shouldn’t know it, couldn’t in this reality’s memories, but he knew it. Pointed ears, delightful fashion sense, there was no way Byakuran recognized the elf from home... but cut off from his other selves as he was, he couldn’t access whatever Byakuran did know him. So instead, he stared none too subtly at the person across the way who was tugging at his subconscious, while he tried to remember what he remembered.

All of the closest universes were entirely populated by humans, and involved a fairly similar mafia-centric situation anyway. And besides that, he felt like he was trying to recall a story he’d been told more than a shared memory.. so a story his other self had been told. A movie? Was the elf an actor? Or maybe--

“Ah!” That was it! He remembered now, the bizarre sensation of remembering someone else’s memory of someone else’s memory, not a world where elves were commonplace but... another plane of another universe... It had been so strange to face a threat totally unrelated to the mafia, bigger than him or his plans, and stranger still to know that the fate of that universe lay in someone else’s hands. Quite capable hands, apparently. Hands he could recognize now in front of him.

“I remember you now!” Byakuran exclaimed cheerily as he finally approached the elf in question, as if he hadn’t been staring from a distance for a few minutes already. “You’re Taako, aren’t you? From, ahh... Sizzling Taako?” Hmm, maybe not quite. The sensation of meeting someone he was certain was from another connected universe was jarring, and he had a hard enough time getting exact details when he still had his direct connection. “Sorry, I’m remembering second-hand, but you could call me a fan of your work~”

switcheroo! (for taako because i’m not logged in)

Send me "Switcheroo!" and I'll redesign your muse as if they were from my muse's universe

Dying Will Flames represent a person’s true nature, in themselves and their relationships, for better or worse. The aspect of destruction goes to Storm flames.

Taako is a Storm, an absolute destructive force on the battlefield on the rare occasion he must. He has powerful flames and a talent for manipulating them in their raw form, able to use the flames alone as a long-range weapon to cause direct damage-- sometimes to people, but often to the environment to create a better tactical edge for his side.

Taako is a member of an independent group called Equilibrio that focuses on bringing out the good that the power of the mafia can bring on a larger scale and regulating dangerous weapons without a bias for any one Family. Taako himself acts in an informant role as well as being part of the core team, and has connections across several larger Families that may or may not even know who he really is.

( He and Byakuran have regular meetings that are 20% very serious mafia business and 80% shit-talking and gossip about other mafia bosses. Byakuran recognizes Taako’s enforced neutrality for Equilibrio but would very much like him to switch sides. )

Acacia - When your muse develops an attraction to someone, do they pursue them or tend to bury and hide their feelings?

byakuran is reckless and shameless!! his affections are fleeting and eagerly pursued, he’s persistent and full of raw confidence and pretty sure no one can actually resist him? like look at him, he’s got something for everyone! cute, hot, dominant, rich, powerful, exciting, charming– the list goes on!

honestly, byakuran doesn’t have the time to play the long game. if he’s into someone, he’ll let it develop naturally only so long as he can tell it’ll develop before he gets bored, and if he knows they’ll never be into him he probably wasn’t interested to begin with! he likes people who like him.

Agrimony - What events/people in your muse’s life are they most thankful for?

is it cliche to say he’s thankful for meeting taako? a friend who’s normal but can still keep up with him (even if byakuran is holding back as much as he can to avoid being overwhelming, that he’s willing to do that much is a compliment in itself), a friend who doesn’t know all his godly details and thus can’t worship or hate him for it. taako almost makes him feel normal sometimes!! it’s weird and fun!!!

Amaryllis - How proud is your muse, and what do they think of others with the same level of pride as theirs?

if there was an upper limit to pride in oneself, byakuran would have reached it. there isn’t, so he hasn’t. he is, after all, an actual real life in the flesh god! and considering all he has done to earn that title, if anyone thinks themself on his level, they are wrong. point blank. they’re stupid, and small-minded, and wrong.

Anthurium - Was your muse’s childhood characterized by abundance or scarcity (in needs, affection, friends, etc)? How does it play into your muse’s present behavior?

byakuran’s childhood was absolute isolation. mentally, physically, emotionally, he was alone. in most ways, for most people, that hasn’t changed– byakuran is arguably even human, and with his ability no one can possibly understand him, or even try to. he is eternally isolated, untouchable, unknowable. or he was, until yuni reached out to him. and when he closed himself to her, she kept reaching. when he built up his walls, she kept reaching. she was the first one he ever tried to keep away, too afraid of what it would mean to have his pure isolation interrupted… she really did save him. even if it’s only her, one is so much more than zero.

Balsamine - What is their level of patience, and how hard does one have to push to make your muse snap?

what the fuck is patience!!! when byakuran wants something he wants it NOW, and he can usually get it. even his bigger plans should have, to be safe and “foolproof,” taken years, decades longer– who owns the entire world by 28? a reckless, powerful man who knows that patience is for the uncertain.

in terms of patience for others, it’s about the same! when he doesn’t like something, the person doing it will know. and he will snap immediately. there are no second chances! no warnings! don’t piss him off!

@freshflipwizard — covet starter call

“so, what, there’s just monsters everywhere around here?” percy asks, equal parts inquisitive and suspicious. nico hates that he understands the feeling too well, still wary around all of these foreign creatures even after a month of living here.

“something like that,” nico mumbles, shrinking away from percy and trying to keep as much distance as he could with the boy as possible. “some of them are mean, but most of them don’t care very much. i guess they’re stuck here as we are, i guess.”

it takes a moment for nico to recognize his slip, and he curses silently at himself for it, casting a sidelong glance at percy to remind himself that this bizarre situation was fake. there was no way percy jackson would ever--

“percy?” where the boy had been moments ago, he was gone, and nico feels a sudden panic grip him despite all his misgivings about the apparition. “...percy?”

leave it to nico to get saddled with the universe’s shittiest definition of the world ‘boyfriend’ and then lose him.

[mastersword]

Having limitations placed on his Sheikah Slate is something he's been used to for awhile, just thankful that he even has the item to begin with. From what he remembers of the previous city he was in, he was there for almost a year, ( and for him, it was like stepping out of the city into somewhere new entirely, ) he wants to test the durability of his previous sword ( one given before he re-obtained the Master Sword, for... his third time now. )

So, he uses Stasis on a lone chunk of a tree, fell with his more durable blade. Then, as he so often did before in Hyrule, he spins and hits the object as often as he can to build up the kinetic energy in it before the time runs out, and when it does, it's launched high into the air, and far away from him.

From what he scoped of the area already, he's certain there shouldn't be anyone around for miles — up until he hears a sound, ( what could be confused as a scream, if he were really paying that much attention to it. ) He picks up the pace a bit to see just where the noise originated from, and finds it someone the giant piece of tree flew right past, missing them by a margin.

Link stands still for a second, presses his lips together before he opens his mouth to speak, "Sorry, are you hurt?"

“You’re going to get yourself lost one of these days.”

“Mm~? That’s a funny thing to worry about.” He lighted down to ground level all the same, feet touching down next to Taako-- he could feel the strength leaving his wings anyway, their daily limit almost reached. Such a joke, to give that which looked like an angel a flight limit.

“I have a bed reserved for me, maybe, but what else is there to get lost from here? If I make a maze for myself all night and never leave a trail of breadcrumbs... there’s no home to follow it back to, right?” In spite of the melancholy subject, Byakuran’s voice was light, but peaceful against the cool night air. Maybe he didn’t know where he was, but matters of where had never really concerned him anyway.

He hummed lightly, deciding if it was too cheesy, before saying it anyway. “The only thing to get lost from here is my friends, and you found me without even trying~ Guess you’re stuck with me no matter where I wander.”
