OC Picrew Tag!

Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here, thanks!

Hit the Picrew, make the OCs! I had a few spins of the wheel, SOOOOoooooo...have some of the more obscure OCs I don't talk about very often!!

Have yourself some Jake (often times he goes with Rod, he's a dragon in human form that hates almost everybody on some level):

Some Glidon (goes with Lyra, likely in a friends-lovers-enimies context):

AND Layla! Who is currently the offspring of Lyra and Glidon, and also guarded by Kashi:

The picrew made it a little hard to show, she's usually got a rounder face than a pointy one and I couldn't soften her features as much as I would have liked, but still a fun Picrew to play around with!

Gently tagging!

OC Most Likely Tag

Tagged by @pheita here, thanks!

Rules: Which OC is mostly likely to do certain things? (and also apparently come up with asks for the people you tag!)

So with that in mind, which of your OCs are most likely toooo

-play on a swingset/playset

Binge-watch a TV show (bonus points if you say which one and double-points if you say why)

have a steady career

So for me! I'll do the group in Rod's WIP (which really is an extended group of Halfblood's WIP)

The ones most likely to:

- Is most likely to start a brawl

I want to say Miles (I don't talk about him much because he's still...I'm still working with him. But what hasn't changed in any iterations is that he's a pirate. With a ghost ship. Kind of. Kind of a ghost ship, not kind of a pirate)

- Is most likely to fall for a money making scheme (pyramide scheme etc)

Layla. She's young and also not from Earth so she falls for things. It's one of Rod's favorite things about her lol

- most likely get the hilarious stupid ideas when drunk/tired

Probably Rod. I haven't actually written a drunk scene with him, but given some of his ideas when he's sober and well-rested...Yeah. I'm gonna say Rod.

Gently no-pressure tagging!

Storyday is every day! What are the personal subplots of your side characters, like what's going on with them adjacent to the main plot?

Hi! thanks for the ask Sleepy!!

Well Layla is trying to figure out why she's missing her antlers, something all her kind have/grow in as a connection to their magic. I'm not sure she knows that it's a magical connection point though, as she doesn't remember much about her homeworld. But eventually I'm sure she gets there.

With Kashi she's still recovering from her entire family having been killed while she wasn't there to protect them. She's low-key looking for the murderer, but I think she's not going full-force hunting because...if he kills her too, there's nothing left of her family in the world. She carries the memories, so she carries them. If she's gone, she worries that will truly kill off what's left.

[forthesanityofstorytellers]

Trick or Treat? 🗡️

Say it with me...

Trrrrrrrreat!

Randomizer wheels say:

A scene with Kashi!!

(707 words so again, it's under a cut)

I let Layla rest for as long as I could before climbing down and waking her. At least enough so that I could hike her up on my back again, trotting off at an easy pace so as not to jostle her too much. I trotted us past the nearest town and on, the sun finally starting to rise when I picked a small sleepy highway city to get lost in. There were just enough people to camouflage our presence, and enough travelers passing by to not notice a pair of strangers wandering in.

I woke Layla up enough to slide off my back so we could walk together, rifling through the duffel bag before taking it back and adjusting it so that it was tight up against my body instead of hanging down. We got into the nearest fast-food place and waited in line while I flipped through one of the wallets I'd stolen and dumped the cards out of. I wasn't interested in the things that could be traced or reported missing, just the cash and any gift cards that might be inside. I liked to keep them in the wallet whenever possible to minimize suspicions.

We ordered and I watched the dollars disappear, mentally tracking how many more wallets I had and how much cash was in each. I might have to steal a few more while in town just to keep the money flow up. I hated to do so, but being among humans helped keep up our camouflage, and that usually meant some form of trade was also necessary.

I still hated it.

I would be happier if I was able to at least think of it as reward for a good hunt, but unfortunately killing people tended to attract more attention from authorities, both human and otherwise, that I didn't want.

Perhaps I could commission my 'friend' for some extra cash once I caught him. My sense of honor rejected that notion less than stealing it myself, so I decided that once I was done making him pay for lying, I'd hit him like a pinata until the money came out. Two birds, one stone as the local saying goes.

Layla started heading outside as soon as we got our food, but I grabbed her shirt and motioned to one of the tables. She gave me a confused look.

"Shouldn't we take this to go…?" she said, holding up the bag.

"We should blend in." I motioned to the humans around us, pairs and small groups having stopped in their day long enough to sit and eat. "Plus I need a phone to check on something."

She tipped her head. "…but you don't have a phone."

"I know." I took her arm and started to lead her back inside and down one of the makeshift isles, eyeing potential targets before making a move. My mark was walking by us, phone sticking out his back pocket like he was secure in the notion that nothing could possibly happen to it. And soon enough it was in my fingers, and we moved to one of the out-of-the-way tables and sat. I glanced up long enough to see that he was going to the bathroom and down at the phone.

It was one of those flat ones and thankfully left open to the internet page he'd been scrolling. Shoes. Athletic, apparently.

"Isn't your nose…?" Layla asked. "There's a lot of smells here, even for me."

"If I couldn't filter my senses on command I wouldn't have lasted very long on this planet," I answered, managing to find my way to a new page and started searching. I started scrolling. "A good hunter knows how to use all of her resources, and this includes how to focus or widen her senses on command."

It was true, and the smells were not the only thing that threatened to overwhelm me if I did not exact immediate control. Snapping wires onto my nose and ears and running an electric current through them would have been a more painless experience. But I had resolve. And a goal.

"I am fine," I told her. "Eat."

She stared at me for a moment longer before shrugging and opening the bag.
