tell me a story from when you were little.

❝ curious to know more about me, hm ? i'm beginning to think you have ulterior motives. ❞

a teasing smirk pulls upon his lips at @lightstre's request, though it's softer than one would probably expect. oh, he had many stories he could tell. happy ones, sad ones, ones that belonged to a different man that had his same face. he chews on his meal thoughtfully for a moment, contemplating on which one was best for around a campfire. verso didn't care much for reliving something sad at the moment, anyways.

❝ once, in lumiere, my older sister and i used to fancy this boulangerie that sold the absolute best pastries. when our maman sent us to get baguettes, we had the grand idea to see who could sneak some croissants without the baker knowing. of course, he most likely knew given we weren't exactly master thieves, but we were none the wiser in any case. my sister . . . it was one of the few times i've seen her smile so freely. ❞

an intimate kiss full of relief the second you're finally alone.

their reunion doesn't come soon enough. verso wished it wasn't in some cramped changing room, but beggars can't be choosers. all that mattered now was that @lightstre was in his arms, and kissing him back like he needed this just as badly. verso had no idea when it got to this, when snide little comments and healthy competition turned to something on the other side of friendly, but that hardly mattered now. whatever this was, it was dangerous. the slide of their lips felt too real to be some passing desire, to soft to be casual. the relief that came with xaiver finally being off the stage and finally having a moment alone, with him, was something that couldn't be so easily explained. and yet, a part of him didn't want to explain it either. somethings were better left unsaid.

they part not long after, though if verso gives the other one last fleeting and indulgent kiss as they part, well, that would be their secret. all the endless love in his heart spurs him to plan with the other's tie, his teasing smile soft with it.

❝ that was a wonderful performance, mon amour. so moving . . . did you perhaps have some inspiration for such a heartfelt song ? ❞

📂📂📂📂 for whoever is rotting ur brain the most rn !!

conner absolutely loves reading, and not just books. he'll read manuals, blueprints, anything. his brain processes things lightning quick, so he's able to speedread through things and have a complete understanding of what he just read

building off the last point, he makes a point to indulge in pretty much everything that he might learn something from, including watching popular media and listening to all the music he can. a big part of it is because he feels like he has to "make up" for the 16 years of his life spent in a test tube, though he genuinely does love learning too. also loves goes to trivia night to flaunt off everything he learned, lol

conner loves playing around with his style, and it's one of the things he enjoys doing the most to make himself more individualistic. he obviously has his core style of like a 90's rebel / punk rock, but he definitely has a vast array of clothes and styles should he want to spice it up once in a while

his hair style has changed over the years, but even the undercut style changes between artists. sometimes it's a whole skin fade, sometimes more is shaven off or more is left uncut, and of course it looks different if he parts it or not. generally he keeps his hair slightly parted and somewhat long ( put a ref pic below the cut of what I'm talking about lmao ), but he also cuts it and changes how he brushes it depending on his mood. anyways his hair has a nice little wave to it and is very soft and thick and definitely not at risk of thinning anytime soon

        ❛❛   Do you miss it ?   ❜❜        innocent inquiry slips without much thought,   as curiosity finally takes its hold upon him,   the will to smother his own wonderings lost when the pull of intrigue tempts him further.   It's an unpleasant topic,   and he softens his approach once awareness struck him.   This is quite unlike him,   although the existence of his kin was a secret that needed little keeping,   he had kept his own longings sealed tightly under lock and key,   his only consolation was in retrieving phantoms of lighter days within the daily lives of those he guards with silent care,   and yet,   the arrival of this stranger had brought along with it a flood of memories he thought to have forgotten decades ago.        ❛❛   Home,   I mean.   ❜❜        Raphael corrects,   practicing better empathy in his tone.   He remains clueless to the other's tale,   his willful departure from home   &.   the reasons that shaped his decisions,   he wouldn't pry any further,   perhaps this was a mere attempt on his part to sooth his own wounds,   compelled by a peculiar sense of familiarity induced by the startling similarity between the two.   Light seems to dwell within his companion as well,   a force of life possessed by him and his people,   a blessing praised and protected                  and an unseen bond that might explain why he chose to linger,   he can't quite understand it himself.

❝ let’s complicate things between us, hm? ❞

❝ oh ? ❞

verso can't help the surprise that adorns his features, something that morphs into genuine intrigue at @lightstre's words. it was no secret that their relationship crossed the boundary of being strictly professional, and really even more than friendly. if he saw a post or two online about their tension, well . . . he couldn't deny that it was a little bit amusing. ( and frankly, given that it was them, they certainly weren't helping ). but this offer, it was a temptation: a definitive name to their little game. he was hardly one to pass by an opportunity though, especially a proposition as interesting as this one.

❝ and just what kind of complication did you have in mind ? ❞

take this with you . it's a good luck charm .

verso simply stares at the rock for a long moment, gray hues flicking up to look at @lightstre blankly. ❝ care to explain how this is a good luck charm ? ❞after all, it was simply a stone. not particularly unique in anyway, and not covered in chroma or anything else that would make it seem like a charm. just a plain, smooth stone.

❝ well, thank you ? i guess . . . ? ❞

e33 or ptn !! for the fandom thing <3

SEND ME A FANDOM

 I’ll tell you: (i chose e33 because ofc i did)

The first character I first fell in love with:  Gustave because hearing he was voiced by Charlie Cox made me interested everyone say thank you daredevil.... but also Sophie once I actually got in game.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: GOD probably Clea. I fucking adorrrrre Clea aND WE NEED A DLC FOR HER PLEASE SANDFALL

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: See the phrasing of this makes it sound like I hate the character everyone else loves but it doesn't. I just don't love them as much as the fandom. And it is Verso.

The character I love that everyone else hates: I don't have anyone I LOVE that people HATE because I feel like nearly every character in game is very sympathetic to some degree but fuck it maybe I'll say Aline? I don't LOVE her but I'm very empathetic towards her mindset during the game.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: N/A

The character I would totally smooch: Every single woman and Gustave.

The character I’d want to be like: I feel like I'm already painfully like Maelle/Alicia but who I'd wanna be more like is probably Sciel.

The character I’d slap: VERSO BRO STOP THE LYING. UPSIDE THE HEAD WHAP.

A pairing that I love: SOPHIE/GUSTAVE. SCIEL/LUNE. POLYPEDITION 33+SOPHIE (and their child maelle).

A pairing that I despise: I really just do not like Verso/Gustave help I'm sorry but it's one of those things where I SEE IT, I UNDERSTAND WHY ITS JUST NOT FOR ME.
