[medi-melancholy]

anyways how about that limbal ring update

[medi-melancholy]

anjyu did Not ever think he would end up in this position

so, originally, i was gonna bring back 2 of my eo ocs in ff14 verse for anjyu's retainers--more or less him calling in favours with old business pals/employers, who are happy to oblige because they'd always had a soft spot for him and don't mind helping out (probably still canon tbh)

but then i was on the cc screen as i so often am and i was like. hmm. i’ll mess around and try making a girl, cuz i would get to try out some different clothes on her and oh hey there’s this one au ra face/horns i feel like I never see anyone use, lemme see if I can make a pretty character with--Oh No

the result was nnoi 🥺💕

she/they lesbian who’ll sleep with anyone if it makes her money or gets her info, but having a pretty girl loving up on her is still the most special of occasions. has probably killed somebody before, probably more than once, but it isn't in writing so shhh it didn't happen. once you talk to her enough you quickly realize she’s got too sharp a mind and too good’a skills to spend all her time on the street--she’d thrive with a job where she’s left in charge of anything, a manager rather than an agent. got an iron will, great organization skills, and an eye for detail. they dress sexy for business and the more cleavage or thigh you see the more you know someone is danger and hopefully it won't be you--if they were dressing casually or for personal reasons they'd wear like, a suit instead

she's not much of a people person. people are just a part of Work, and it’s work that she likes most. being busy--not just getting busy--feels good. anjyu tells her "i don’t think i should introduce you to most people i know” and she goes "good, i don’t want to meet 'em."

anjyu met her during his time on the road a while back, they knew each other for a time and got along well, which stands out in nnoi’s memory because she is Not someone who gets along with anyone. she thought anjyu was a real neat and kind fellow. weird, but good. he just,,,,, keeps ending up befriending legitimately dangerous people in the most casual ways. that's just his brand

she left the area before he did, which is unusual for folks he would get to know through working and such--usually he's the one he moves on and continues traveling first. he asked her if she had any plans for what to do next, or where she was going. she said, partly teasing, "no. dunno. just can’t seem to find the job i want to be doing. if you ever happen to find it, you let me know."

And Anjyu Took That Extremely Literally

after he’s at the point in his journey where he becomes able to take on retainers, he doesn’t actually do it, because he can’t think of anyone he knows who’s good with that kind of thing and who he trusts for that kind of job. it’s too stressful to think about, anyways. he puts it off as much as he can, even if he's starting to get buried in things he needs to store and sort out, etc etc

he catches some rumours about an incident where someone was apparently poisoned and robbed after some kind of escort encounter, and from the associated descriptors and details, he was like "huh, that sounds like someone i used to know. that really reminds me of a lot of them. whoever did the crime, not the victim”

...

...

...

".........i wonder,"

so he scrounges up resources to track down whoever did it. not to turn them in or anything, gods no. to hire them for that whole retainer business he needs to get to. since they’re an old friend.

nnoi just fuckin

anjyu's. different, alright.

she can’t help but chuckle at it all. and of course she says yes. it’s good work. she doesn’t mind doing simple tasks, or above the board business for once.

and holy fuck does she want to see wherever the hell anjyu is going with things next. when they puts two and two together and realizes he’s the same anjyu everyone’s been talking about, they cackle

"they know what all you used to get up to?" "…no, not really." "well, that’s a good thing, kid. compared to someone like me, you never really did any sour thing worth talking about in the first place, ha." "…nobody’s asked much about my past." "so you just, haven’t told them?" "well. they didn’t ask. like I just said." "…you sure are something."

[medi-melancholy]

the lovely nnoi, as retainers are wont to do it seems, has a habit of going out for work and then bringing back the most random godsdamned shite for anjyu

but their crowning achievement in... scavenging? dealing? stealing??? who knows. we're better off not. so far, it has been:

The Melon.

"…eh, actually, maybe third or fourth favourite."

"?????"

"there's a lot of you out there, master."

(and yes, anjyu is a melons-as-in-boobs enjoyer. he just thinks they're Neat.)

i fuckin' miss Nnoitra so much holY SHIT

[medi-melancholy]

if i ever played nnoi as an alt—which honestly i do not want to do because it just does not suit her at all—i would probably go all in on the hymmnos refs and put her full name as nnoi teiwaz. but very very very rarely does she ever actually use a surname of any kind—she’s similar to anjyu in that way, and it’s part of why she was partial to him so early on
