           Jia Chong had settled on the bench across from Zhuge Dan, taking a moment to scan the dark wooden interior of the tea house.

           ❛❛ Lord Sima Shi and Sima Zhao especially enjoy the meat buns here,  ❜❜ he said. ❛❛ And you? What do you have a taste for? ❜❜

Sending over... *drum roll* Katsuie/Oichi!

i don’t know too much about katsuie just yet so i’m sorry if this is not very good! i’m familiar enough with oichi to stab in the dark i’d think tho! ;o; from the looks of it tho this ship seems like ... super juicy with the feels so i’m curious to look into it now!

001. kills the spiderKilling the spider wise, I think Katsuie would be more likely of the two just because he’d want to protect Oichi from it and she’d stop him so that she could capture it and set it outside. I don’t actually see Oichi super scared of insects! The world just shines and glistens around her because she’s so sweet while she releases the spider and Katsuie’s enamored...

002. proposedKatsuie after a really long time and after it’s arranged or expected by society. Oichi is so misplaced after the death of Nagamasa that she’s trying to find her place in the world again afterward, and she’ll only realize she can move on once that opportunity presents itself I think.

003. kissed the other firstKatsuie... Oichi would be a reserved about opening back up towards other people. The tension between them would slowly build and bubble, and then when he felt like it was the right time and like she’s open to loving him, he’d finally kiss her. 

004. initiates things Katsuie again, but I’m thinking he would be a little hesitant because he knows that she’s still mourning the loss of Nagamasa at first. There would probably be hesitation on both fronts, but once they both came to love each other and became affectionate, I see both of them taking turns with the initiative. I can see Oichi finding Katsuie’s personality really cute. 

005. would leave the otherKatsuie would tell her to go in order to protect herself. It’s not him leaving so much as it’s him asking her to leave him, but by that point, she won’t want to leave.006. is more jealousI don’t think either of them get too jealous, but maybe Katsuie moreso out of wanting to be closer to Oichi than she might initially let him be in the beginning (though of course he wouldn’t hold it against her, it’s more like frustration with himself). Oichi seems like she’s above jealousy, but I can see her frowning a little when she feels neglected.

007.  is lazierNeither of them strike me as lazy!

008. sends weird texts at 3 AMOichi, actually! I think when they got to this point of their relationship, Katsuie would feel so happy to get any text from her any time and reply to them way too quickly. 

009. is more experiencedThough I think Katsuie has had more partners, I feel like Oichi has more skill in the bedroom. 👀

010. said i love you firstKatsuie, finally. It’d be when his feelings were like overflowing and he just couldn’t hold them back anymore. Oichi would feel the color coming back to her life when he said it, something she thought she’d lost with Nagamasa.

hmm...let's go with Jia Chong and Danny. I was going to say Wang Yuanji as well, so I guess either one will do

Send me a ship and I’ll tell you who…

I have another ask for Jia Chong x Yuanji, so Jia Chong x Zhuge Dan it is! B)

01. … kills the spider. Jia Chong! Zhuge Dan strikes me as the type who is more inclined to catch spiders and release them outside, while Jia Chong just watches with a deadpanned expression. He doesn’t have time for that. If he sees the spider first, it’s dead. Sometimes he’ll kill the spiders Zhuge Dan released just to make sure it doesn’t come back inside.

02. … proposed. Zhuge Dan, probably. And I imagine it being a stuttering mess LMAO.

03. … kissed the other first. Jia Chong. He has no qualms about the physical side of the relationship; however, the emotional side will always be difficult for him. He has no trouble initiating anything, though.

04. … initiates things. Jia Chong bc he is fILTHY for the same reason as above. I also think that he would most likely be the one most comfortable in the relationship (at least, in the beginning). Zhuge Dan might be a bit stiff at first, but will gradually become more comfortable and relaxed.

05. … would leave the other. HMMMMM. I’m tempted to say ‘neither’ since they are both fiercely loyal, but at the same time, they both have very rigid mindsets that may clash often. If one of them does leave, hooooo boy will it be a really messy breakup.

06. … is more jealous. I could see them both getting jealous! Neither one is very flirty though, so I feel as though it would not really be an issue most of the time. However, Zhuge Dan’s devotion to Sima Shi may trigger Jia Chong’s jealousy more often than not.

07. … is lazier. Neither! They are both very active people who do not really tolerate laziness.

08. … sends weird texts at 3 AM. Neither! I see Zhuge Dan being an early sleeper, early riser; Jia Chong stays up late but does not message anyone after 9pm unless someone texts him first.

09. … is more experienced. Jia Chong. However, since Zhuge Dan is easily flustered, he will move at Zhuge Dan’s pace.

10. … said I love you first. tbh I could see Zhuge Dan confessing first! Again, Jia Chong is a bit of a slow-burner when it comes to emotional attachment, so it would take him forever to confess his feelings. Zhuge Dan may be more comfortable more quickly.

A Gift

Given the current situation, perhaps it wasn’t a wise thing to do... arranging a meeting like this. She’d sent a messenger to deliver this anonymous invitation to meet at a specified location. 

Come to think of it, it did sound like a sketchy note... She thought that maybe the words “Please come alone, for this is a matter best gone unnoticed by those around us both” would raise a red flag or two.

Still, she had hoped that just maybe Zhuge Dan would be brave enough, or willing enough, to take the risk and see just what this matter was about.

Dressed pretty casually, considering the fact that she had just left the city to come to a forest of all places, she’d brought no weapons with her. It wasn’t exactly her ideal choice, but being that her actions were so highly monitored in the Wu kingdom, as part of their investigative process to make sure she wouldn’t betray them and had no... intentions of doing anything of the sort, she wasn’t exactly willing to give them any reasons to be any more suspicious of her than they already were.

Hauling battle ready clothes and weapons out of the city in which she was kept under watch struck her as a generally bad idea. Thus, the choice to take on a more casual attire and a weaponless self. 

She’d been lucky enough to have not run into any animals other than deer and tame things of the standard woodland nature. A bear or wolf would not be ideal right now.... or a tiger for that matter...

Above all, she was actually more afraid of stepping out of the protection of the city for reasons of... her estranged husband. Sure, she didn’t want to make the forces of Wu more suspicious of her, but she also didn’t want to be caught by any Jin spies or soldiers sent out to find her. If they found her wandering around alone, wearing red and in clear support of Wu, she knew exactly what would happen to her.

Death.

The only punishment fit for a woman who would abandon her husband in a time of war, regardless of her reasoning. At least, that’s how most people would see it, is it not? 

Resting against a tree, she pushed the thoughts out of her head. “Don’t think of such things...” Chunhua would whisper to herself. “There is no use thinking about that, now.”

She’d set the small basket, covered with a cloth, that she’d carried next to her and let out a tiny sigh. All there was left to do at this point was wait and see if her message had reached Zhuge Dan and if he would arrive, if it had.

FIVE RANDOM FACTS.

I am currently a student at Temple University for Sports Science/Kinesology 

I am also an amateur cosplayer. Which means I dress up and take pictures of myself because I can’t afford a photographer. Though I have a friend who promised to do a Chun Li shoot in Chinatown with me-I may need a new costume though. I’m going to International Sailor Moon Day here in Philly on Saturday as Sailor Mars, so I’ll try to post pics

I stand at 5′0″ and I used to be 160 pounds. Not healthy in the slightest, and I don’t know how I got that bad. As of now, I am 138, and looking to get to my ideal weight of 120/125. 

I am from the city of Philadelphia. Right over the bridge from Camden, thirty minutes from Delaware, and two hours from New York City

Melodic Death and MD Doom metal are my music choices of preference. Depressing, melancholic, woeful tunes full of cold, frozen sorrow. Mainly from Sweden/ Finland. As someone who suffers from depression, I don’t find the music relatable, but the lyrics and melodies are beautiful, and helps me write better. Not to mention I always choose the most messed up characters to love, heh. Despite this, you’ll see me at a metal festival in cute anime or pop band shirts, as I like that kind of stuff too. 

EXPERIENCE.

how long have you roleplayed on tumblr: Since...February of this year? I think?  platforms you’ve used: Just here so far, Skype acts weird on this computer (I can’t see the damn keyboard, lots of spelling errors, yeah?) best experience: hmm...well, each experience is nice, but as I’ve just begun to grow active on this particular blog again, I don’t have one yet. But as I’m speaking for my other RP blogs, I have a few friends who I have met on my Furious_Sirenn blog, and the Dead End Irony blog who have become quite dear to me

MUSE PREFERENCES.

female, male, agender, or gender variant: I don’t have a preference, I have four RP blogs, two for female OC’s (Koei Warriors/Street Fighter), and Zhuge Dan and Cody Travers, so as you can tell, I can go either way. Depends on the character, and if any blogs exist already. As far as I know, these are the only Zhuge Dan and Cody Travers blogs that exist. I think the real struggle is trying to keep things in character-though I like to go any and all routes available. I feel Koei doesn’t use Zhuge Dan to his potential, so he ultimately falls onto my lap

multi or single: Like shipping? I don’t have a preference. If there’s chemistry, we’ll work with it. I really don’t know who to ship Zhuge Dan with, we gotta find someone patient enough to put up with him, hehe

WRITING PREFERENCES.

fluff, angst, or smut: Angst, for both Zhuge Dan and Cody Travers. My Furious Sirenn is a bit more flirty, so it might be leaning towards smutty. I tried full smut with that blog, and it was really weird and awkward. Like I write smut and lemons and all that on FF.net, but it was really weird...so I would prefer to go angsty. Besides, I think it fits Danny better.  long or short replies: depends. Sometimes I can’t find the right things to say, so sometimes I get straight to the point, or other times I can write a novel. I’m not a girl who demands YOU BETTER WRITE AS MUCH AS I DO. Nah, write what you want, and what you can. We’re having fun anyway.  are you like your muse: I seem to have the worst of Zhuge Dan’s traits. Not to mention, we look alike, like we could be siblings. I’m a member on Koei Warriors, well, a Global Mod there, and we made a photoshop thing with my picture next to Zhuge Dan, and everyone said we looked like brother and sister (don’t tell my actual brother! hehe). We’re both terribly angry and well, he can get away with his violence while I’d probably get in a lot of trouble-though I’ve had to hit a few people to prevent them from hurting me. I’m also rash and act without thinking, and well, I know what it’s like to try hard and fail, and fall short, just like he does. I don’t know if a character like Zhuge Dan is someone I strive to be like, but fate is funny like that. As far as my other muses go, I’m not like Cody Travers, and well, my two OC’s are me, so you know...

Should I tag anyone here? I’m sure you guys have probably already done these...maybe..hehe

The Coalition stood together in the main camp. Da Ji had just betrayed them, to the surprise of no one. In the wake of her betrayal, a woman named Tamamo No Mae emerged from the depths, and two immediately formed an alliance. 

No one knew who or what this Tamamo was, a bewitching and beautiful woman, but a woman so full of dark desires.

They needed to be rid of her. 

Aya, Kanetsugu Naoe, Sima Shi, Gracia, Masamune Date, Sakon Shima, Ujiyasu Hojo and others had raced into hell to get the mysterious mirror, only to realize that it had a crack in it, and no longer worked.

Mitsuhide Akechi, Sima Yi, Cai Wenji and Fu Xi went back in time to see the Heavenly Emperor to get the old mirror, and returned to present time, where Fu Xi, Nu Wa and Shennong held onto it.

“We need a team to stop Tamamo no Mae...as sovereigns, we cannot act until her power is taken from her..that is why...we must once again enlist the power of the humans...”

Everyone in the camp was quiet. 

Zhuge Dan gripped his feathered fan, and stepped forward.

“I will go.”

Everyone in the camp turned and looked at the man. He suddenly felt flustered, and tried to hide behind his fan. Yet as he looked, he saw an assuring smile flash across Zhuge Liang’s face.

“As a member of the esteemed Zhuge clan, I will stake my family name on saving this land..” 

And with those words, he began to move out, until another pair of footsteps stepped forward

. a beautiful rainfall .

How pleasant it was to spend some time with a fellow officer. Not that he minded the company at all, but the man in front of him did not talk too often, at least not to him. Not that many did. But this was oddly relaxing. Even if too quiet. And not all that relaxing.

When he heard the rain, however, a laugh escaped the tinted lips ever so slightly. “It seems we may be stuck here for a bit longer. Oh, but how beautiful the sound of rainfall is without the sounds of war following!”
