With the gear up from the new season of Astronomical Boys & Girls, the rumor mills were starting to turn. Her notifications lighting up with new tags from AlterEgo. Fans were on the rise with speculations and theories about the new All Star Season. Something she would not confirm or deny. The hype, quite honestly, was one of the fun parts of it all. Eeshika didn't mind pocking a little fun here and there. Dropping a few teasers. Certainly, the obsessions of the fans newest ships from breathing next to a fellow star. She takes all of it in good fun and certainly doesn't mind adding a little fuel to the fandoms. Yet with all the hype on the rise meant less time for, well down time. The spotlight hung heavy. Everyone on high alert for everything that is done. Eeshika knew that she had to smile brighter. Keep her voice lighter. Airy and light with everything she does. Just the little breaks away from being Siren was at a far more fleeting. Walking around her old stomping ground, wouldn't be a frequent downtime. Here she was a little messier more undone than normal. A few strands of hair sticking out from her hood. Her cat eyes shaped sunglasses hiding her big doe eyes. The wired headphones softly playing classical melodies that she hardly ever got to play on the piano anymore. Sometimes...sometimes it was the tiny moments like this that remindered how lucky she really was. Where she started in the city and everything she had got. Eeshika should be grateful. The melody in her heart was starting to feel off key. She couldn't find the note that would quite fit. Giving herself a little grace, a little kindness. She knew she'd find that missing note somewhere. And there she was, at her old apartments. The place her new life, her new adventures in the big city began. Coming back, was as closest to home she'd ever be. Exhaling a little as she gets closer, looking at the door still as busted and broken as ever. However, someone is there. Oh no. Her stomach drops a little knowing that this was an encounter that meant communication. But wait, the black haired boy doesn't seem to notice her at all, as the door is starting to shut. Eeshika steps closer, in hopes to slip in and go about her way. Closely, behind them. Oops, the door nearly closing on their face, before he opens it.

"Oh my goodness! Are you okay?!" fully well taking the responsibility for her awkward timing. "Thank you!" She quickly adds, stepping her toes, inspecting their face closely to make sure that they were okay. Sliding her sunglasses off to get a better look. "I am so sorry! That really was all me and my awful timing."

MUSE QUESTIONS

demons : say if your muse was in silent hill , a mystical town that shows it's visitors physical manifestations of their own demons - what would they see ?

Honestly guys, so far Mercedes is pretty mentally healthy and doesn’t have a lot of demons! This will change. But likely, she would encounter demons representing her anxiety, her fear of never accomplishing anything worth mentioning, and her constant worry that she is failing those she cares about.

for sabryna 🐻 what’s stopping you from chasing your dreams?

Dreams are meant to be beautiful things.  They would gently settle inside you, filling every single heartbeat with wonder, with hope! Where the days seemed to glow that little bit brighter and the night sky glittered with endless starlight. The courageous certainty that you swore made you unstoppable. 

Though the sad thing about dreams?

They don’t last forever. 

One day, you wake up.  

For a moment Sabryna goes still. Her eyes become glassy and distant as the dream...or perhaps her nightmare...floods back to her. The jump. The fall. That sudden gasp. Her cheeks kissing the ice. So cold on her body. Then the silence as her eyes flicker shut fading to black.

For a moment, Sabryna goes still. Her eyes became glass and distant as the dream...perhaps looking back now her nightmare...flashes before her eyes. Her jump. The fall. Everyone's gasps. Her cheeks kissing the ice. The deafening silence. And everything goes back as she closes her eyes tight.

Her breathing slowed without her noticing, as her hands gripped tightly at the edge of her top. A lump welling in the back of her throat. But she holds herself tightly enough together. For it was a memory. Sure it was one that hurt but it couldn't really hurt her, unless she gave it the power too. Shifting in her seat, sitting a little taller, shoulder's back, head up. Sabryna hazel eyes, didn't make full eye contact. "Um sorry...that's just..." her voice is wavering slightly breaking. "Dreams they can hurt when they don't come true. Really hurt." A strain tugging on her chest. "Like a heartbreak. When it's an idea that you have had for so long and worked so hard to make some true but then...it just doesn't....it just hurts."

"And sometimes you have to ask yourself is it worth it to feel that hurt all over again?" Sabryna says with a weak smile, "That pain. The dark. The empty. Just because you didn't get it the first time round...though something the is beyond your control?" All most as if she was giving herself a much needed pep talk. "There is nothing sadder than allowing a dream to end midway..." She looks up, "Sorry...I guess the simple answer is myself and fear. Because who ever get's a second chance at being so close to getting close to another dream..."

MUSE QUESTIONS

symbolism  :  does  anything  about  your  muse  symbolise  anything  ?  whether  it  be  in  their  narrative  ,  or  part  of  their  design  ,  or  something  else  ?

I always pick my muses names with a lot of thought, and I picked Mercedes based on the behind the name definition which goes as follows: Means "mercies" (that is, the plural of mercy), from the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary, Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes, meaning "Our Lady of Mercies". It is ultimately from the Latin word merces meaning "wages, reward", which in Vulgar Latin acquired the meaning "favour, pity". Mercedes name, then, represents the way she approaches life by being merciful and favouring those who work hard. 

Another one is her alias. Mercedes’ alias is Outis, which is a transliteration of the ancient Greek meaning “Nobody” or “No one”. It serves a dual purpose, as a tribute to Odysseus and his cleverness as well as a hope to live up to said cleverness, and as a pointed note of her thoughts regarding professional heroism. She thinks stewards should be anonymous and focus on helping the community, rather than court fame and fortune.

I mentioned it earlier, but Mercedes really admires Vaimiti for wanting to make a steward union, and wants to continue her work. She knows that will be hard, considering how stewards agented to the bigger agencies reacted to Vaimiti’s plans, but she is determined to see it through, no matter how hard it will be.

Mercedes’ doesn’t own a lot of stuffed animals, but one of the few she owns is a seal the length of her torso that she keeps on her bed. It’s the first stuffed animal her parents bought for her, and it is quite literally older than she is, so she treasures it dearly. While normally it’s only a bed companion, she tends to cuddle it whenever she is feeling particularly demotivated or sad before bed.

IN CHARACTER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS

🎈 BALLOON — what is something you've created and/or accomplished recently that you're proud of? 

“I am really proud of the work I did for Grant Hearst’s campaign,” she admits, throwing a smile over her shoulder at the interviewer as she continues putting up the posters around the center. “Some of the events I coordinated were very popular, and it made me realize how much I like community engagement.”

❤️‍🔥 HEART ON FIRE — what angers you the most? what triggers this anger, and how do you cope with it? what does this anger feel like, if you had to describe it?

“It is fairly cliche for my profession, but injustices piss me off,” Outis admits as she begins climbing the tree to get to her client’s cat. She moves slowly through the branches, steadily, as she continues answering the question. “All injustices anger me, but frankly, the ones that make me see red? Are the subtle kind, the ones that are inbuilt into the system and that perpetuate injustice over and over again in silence, so no one is looking at them, no one is trying to fix them. That is why I do the work I do,” but inside and outside her mask, really, “and why I tend to work more often than not.”

Reaching the cat’s branch, she carefully perches on it and slides forward slowly, until the cat is within reach. Then, her hand snaps out and she snatches him, bringing him to her chest and cooing quietly to calm him down before starting her descent. 

“But anger isn’t very helpful in the long term, so I try to focus on what I can do and the people I have helped,” she says, a smile hidden beneath her mask as she slides down the tree more nimbly than she climbed it. “It is satisfying to dwell on the molten lava coursing through my veins as my anger raises, on the indignation that drives me forward, but at the end of the day, anger can lead to brash decisions, and those have never helped anyone.”

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference? (asking for a friend)

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference? (asking for a friend)

If someone was impersonating Mercedes, her family and friends would have two methods to tell the difference. The first one would be having a long conversation, and checking if Mercedes begins to play with her hair or to fidget at all, because despite how serious she may appear, Mercedes is physically incapable of staying still. The other option is to put a rom com movie that has a lot of second hand embarrassment moments meant to drive the plot. If Mercedes stands up and leaves just as something embarrassing is about to happen, that is her. If not? Well, Mercedes would be incapable of handling all that cringe without leaving the room. 

If someone were to impersonate Outis? That is harder, because she tends to keep a bit more of a distance when on the mask. Still, most people that frequent her presence as Outis would have noticed that she cannot keep still, and that she tends to hum lowly as she walks from one job to the next.
