[🌿🍒] from either kai to baraka on @kombatpacks or yuri to rain

"So we stand under this and kiss...that seems simple enough." Rain couldn't help but smirk at Yuri, hand already holding his and pulling them in close.

                    ❦ ╾╾╾╾╾ Day of the tournament, and the buzz of Earthrealm's new champion was certainly a hot topic- with much need for Raiden was indeed something special. Although, the swordsman found himself wandering a little further away from all the talk, from the insufferable voice of Cage. Found himself in good company, like real good company it seemed.

❝ there is no redemption. can’t you see? it is too late. ❞ ( from hydro @kombatpacks )

Too late... He knows this, how could he not? He is beyond redemption, his path to power paved by actions unforgivable, the bond he once shared with his brothers lies in shambles, the trust his allies had held in him destroyed, his reputation damaged beyond repair. And still, his stubbornness persists.

He tenses, brows drawn together in a deep frown as he regards the other warrior with a look of annoyance, he does not need lecturing from a former subordinate. Least of all from someone who had left the Lin Kuei. No one leaves the Lin Kuei. ❝ It is not redemption I seek. ❝ He corrects Hydro through gritted teeth, the words a low rumble in his throat. ❝ I know I cannot right the wrongs of my past. But my mistakes are my own. I wish only to save my clan. ❝ If he is to be executed for his wrongdoings, so be it, but he will not let the Lin Kuei suffer the consequences of his foolishness.

“ dying is dying and rot is rot. ” jubei to takeda ( hint, jubei is both )

SHITTY HOROSCOPES STARTERS

Takeda had never thought much about having a brother. He'd been a single child first, and then he'd joined the clan, where he could almost consider other clan members his age to be his brothers... but to actually have someone that could call Hanzo dad along with him was a new experience.

It was a little weird, but he could tell how both Hanzo and Jubei were affected by each other's presence, how if even if they were not the same person the other knew from their own realm, each other's presence was still healing in some way. If Hanzo was happy, Takeda was happy and he'd make an effort to get to know Jubei... as awkward as it can tend to be.

Though perhaps his questions do not help steer their direction into more comfortable topics, his own morbid curiosity being what it is, considering that he is a telepath and so aware of Jubei's wraithly being on a level beyond the surface... and in part he hoped to understand Hanzo's past better by understanding Jubei as he is now.

"And you're allowed neither..." Takeda concludes, his tone pensive as he tilts his head towards his company. "We can try to find a way to reserve this, if you're interested." He offers, half hopefully, even if aware that their pool of 'evil sorcerer knowledgeable in necromancy' had kind of run dry.

❛ If you’re not gonna let me go, then kill me now. Just get it over with. ❜ sareena to quan cheese platter

DEXTER SENTENCE STARTERS

Truly, perhaps he should. It would be simpler, another rebelling subject dealt with and forgotten, never to be thought of again... but his pride prevents such detached handling of his pets, especially one as dear to him as Sareena was, part of his beloved Sisterhood of Shadow.

It stings, her betrayal, to be scorned so by a creature he hand reared into what she is today, but it does not come without a certain sense of amusement, the thought that she could ever truly stand against him, turn on the Brotherhood and desert her sisters with no consequence.

"You demand death...?" He does not try to conceal the smile that stretches across his face at her voice, the trepidation present even as she tries to stand firm against him. "After everything I have done for you, you dare demand I waste my efforts and kill you? Sareena, you wound me." He steps closer, grasps her chin with a calloused hand. "I will not... Punishment awaits you, discipline, but not death."

A revoking of privileges, he would take great pleasure in crushing her free will.

❛ Sleep would be nice, but there’s too much to do. ❜ jubei to dad, but they can't sleep anyways lel

DEXTER SENTENCE STARTERS

He cannot quite remove the look of worry that crosses his expression at the words spoken in such a detached, desolate manner, a hint of humor that sours the longer one thinks on it. He remembers his own existence as a wraith, the inability to truly rest, forever awake, feeling like he could see through his eyelids even if he clenched them shut... it brings with it it's own kind of madness.

"Nothing that cannot wait until you're well in body and mind." Firm, Hanzo places a hand on top of Jubei's shoulder with a caring squeeze, grounding the both of them in the moment. "Would you meditate with me?" A half-measure, something close but not quite what the other needs, but it is something. A moment of tranquility shared, he would not leave them alone with their thoughts — he knows then do inner demons tend to fester.

PLOTTED STARTER — @sundoes : bai li

He wakes after what feels like a long sleep, fistful and restless. Disoriented it takes him long moments to come to himself, then to his surroundings - and then still realize he is not alone. He shivers, cold, covered in sweat that clings to him as opposed to simply evaporating. It hurts to move, a burning sensation rippling through each muscle, but he stubbornly aches to sit up, a wheezing breath taken as if the first in hours. And in fact it had been.

He was dead, by all accounts. And yet he lives. The undead cannot be killed in a way that matters.

The initial reaction is suspicion, but soon his mind catches up to the fact that he recognizes the space where in he was laid to rest and that he was unharmed - at least, no further harmed than when he'd found himself passing out with poison injected directly to his heart. He swallows, mouth tasting of ash and soot and just as dry, and a cough does escape him - a spark of flame manifesting in front of his face.

"Water." He requests, having to make a conscious effort to keep his head straight.

receiver finds sender stood over a body ( if u look over @kombatpacks u can find (1) jubei / satoshi shhh )

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD

He feels it before he is alerted to a disturbance on their grounds, a familiar sense in the back of his mind, the pull of the Netherrealm on his tattered soul: another of it's residents was on their territory. A ghost, a demon, he could not tell yet, but it was not something he wished his ninjas face on their own - as capable as they are, he is intimately aware of the strength of Netherrealm's denizens.

He commands with his presence, and he is quick to teleport towards the location his scouts had noted, a tower of flame breaking the serene image of his expansive gardens — but the sight had already been tainted.

Hanzo finds the stranger, another wraith much like himself, and his distrust is immediate - especially finding the other standing over a corpse. Had it been one of his own, the answer would have been swift retribution, not a word wasted on the scum that dare attack his clan... instead he finds the other standing over what is clearly a mercenary for the Red Dragon, their surveillance persisting even after they had been ran out of Shirai Ryu territory, not letting go of their grudge against the burden that is Takeda's Takahashi legacy.

And he can understand the confusion, the reason why this lowly mercenary thought to attack a wraith — although he might not don their actual dress, the stranger is dressed in their clan colors.

Hanzo watches the other silently, awaiting a violent reaction, but when it is not immediately sprung he does speak.

"Identify yourself and state your reason for being here." Cold, direct, he is not giving the stranger any space to dodge him or his question. Should he prove to be a threat to the clan, he will be dealt with.
