I hope Bell knows (or at least Virgil tells her!) that she 100% did her duty as a knight. She may not have been able to instantly protect him from a weapon she'd never seen BUT she did protect all of his people while he was at his most vulnerable

Everyone unanimously like "Bell Kai and Virgil go in the middle of the pile and Stay There Forever And Ever"

Maybe Kouyou and Kyouka for Rider? Not sure who would be the master but they both have summon-type abilities which could be the "mount" and their bond is intense but complicated which makes for an interesting story

I had actually considered them as a possible pair, with master!Kyouka and servant!Kouyo, but as assassin instead of rider. They'd be a very powerful and cool combo and their stories work well in a fate verse as well, but I feel like they'd be too redundant with the other players I already chose (tho aus are good because you can explore them in many different ways, and especially for fate, which for some aspects is Very similar to bsd, the possibilities are endless)

This may be a weird thing to worry about, but are the humlilts' natural predators okay? I can't imagine it's good for them to be deprived of a major food source like that, and it's not their fault their prey is very cute

yup, they're fine! virgil's environment is a super diverse one, and there are a lot of different fauna around for the food chain. he also hasn't completely stripped that ecological niche, because the humlilts still wander off to graze and find water etc. in locations where virgil isn't present to scare off everything. lots stay in the peripheral area for better chances of a surprise human rescue, but there are only a few of them that dedicatedly stick to virgil's side all the time :)

In terms of Logan cheating at bowling without giving away his powers, I imagine he's looked into what an average game looks like for very skilled amateurs and adjusted his cheating efforts accordingly, complete with exactly the right spread of strikes, spares and shots that he doesn't modify at all- he seems like that level of extra. Virgil sees through it because he knows how Logan works by now, but everyone else is completely fooled

Oh, he’s very good at being sneaky but Virgil knows him and has played board games with him. He knows.

Sorry to talk about angst in your cute baby au, but I can't stop thinking about what it would be like for Caleb to find his friend's body like that, especially after everyone he's already lost and how dedicated he was in helping Essek have a second chance (which he will fulfill by raising baby!Essek but he didn't know that at the time)

Bruh, Caleb felt guilty that he had left Essek all alone the one day, which was the day the assassin came. He lost a good friend. Someone who had been like him in the past. Essek was ready to become a better person, but then that shit happens.

And then comes Baby Tiefling Essek. I mean, sure Caleb wanted to help Essek have a second better chance at life, but he didn’t expect that this would be the way.

But Essek was his good friend. And now he’s Caleb and Molly’s son. Essek deserved a second chance.

Guys guys calm down, the ghost is friendly! He wants to help!

The radio coming on all of a sudden was the last straw for Logan. He had been hoping that the ghost that apparently was haunting the van was not completely aware, and that, if they were careful, they could maybe remain calm and get away unscathed without it even realizing. However the radio coming on like that implied it was very much fully aware of them. Logan slammed on the breaks. There hadn’t been many cars around since he’d started driving, so there wasn’t anything to impede them as Logan pulled over onto the side of the country road.

Roman finally stopped his screaming that could literally wake the dead, and they both bailed out of the car. Logan immediately reached for the back door to get Patton out, but the locks clicked before he could. He spat a word that Patton definitely shouldn’t hear.

“Patton can you unlock the door?” Logan asked, trying to force it open still despite knowing that was useless. Patton looked over at him and then at the bear that was still floating in front of him, seeming confused. “Patton try to open the door. Patton!” He didn’t move to do so and Logan groaned, his brain running through what little he knew about ghosts. Most of it was not particularly good. Haunted objects were usually caused by shadow ghosts, like the taxi you were never supposed to take near White Lily Lake because your body would show up mutilated a state over

“You got a haunted car?!” Roman screamed, rounding the front. He joined Logan in trying to pull on the door, but the door still didn’t budge.

“How was I supposed it was haunted?!”

“Were there any dead bodies in it?!”

“I’m not an idiot Roman!”

Roman scoffed. “Oh really, then why do we have a haunted car?!!”

Patton was making a wide eyed calm down gesture, but how was Logan supposed to calm down when Patton was stuck in a haunted van? The car’s windshield wipers started to move up and down, clearly agitated.

That set Roman off even more. “What if we break the window with a rock?” He asked. Logan’s eyes widened when the car honked loudly in response.

“He didn’t mean it! He’s not going to do that!” Logan yelled. Ghosts tended to be very territorial over their tethers. He turned to hiss at Roman, “Shut up.”

“Oh, and what’s your big plan, Brainiac?”

He didn’t know. He didn’t know. He had no idea what to do. Ghosts weren’t exactly known to be reasonable in most cases, and they hated when their space was invaded. Logan was honestly shocked they weren’t dead yet.

Logan turned to the car. “Look, we didn’t know the car was yours,” he said, placatingly. “If you just let Patton go, we’ll leave. We’ll go.” The car horn blared again, making Logan flinch. “Look,” he said, “Please, we...”

“Uh, Logan,” Roman grabbed his arm, his voice just as terrified as it had been before, but drained of anger suddenly. Logan looked over at him to see him staring across the road. Three humanoid shapes were climbing out of the ditch on the other side of the road. One... looked like it had a broken neck and another had its arm torn clean off and dripping dark red, almost black blood, but none of them seemed bothered by this. They looked.... dead. They were dead. But they were still moving towards them.

Logan froze for a moment, stuck between two dead things. He heard the lock click behind him and both doors opened suddenly. Roman and he met eyes and turned to hop into the van, Logan back in the drivers seat and Roman landing on top of Patton. The door slammed closed behind them for better or for worse.

The car started without Logan touching anything and the car lurched forward away from the creatures.

Thomas is open for questions.

Roman is open for questions.

Patton is open for questions.

Logan is open for questions.

kiapet2 replied to your post: There’s no textual evidence that Nadia is...

She also has sort of homoerotic interactions with friends occasionally, and the actors have said they like to think they tried dating

@kiapet2

Oh! Neat. That does come across - do you happen to have a link to that?

It kinda bugs me how there’s no canon evidence that she’s straight but it’s widely assumed.

There’s an incredible amount of power that comes from being able to watch something and go, “that was terrible, I love it”

idk if it’s power or an overwhelming lack of dignity/caring if people judge you for your garbage tastes, but

Thank you
