tesla's " office " is really just a lab, cluttered with all manner of scientific and mechanical equipment for inventing and creating weapons of various levels of lethality and legality. despite the meticulous order and cleanliness displayed in his living space, his lab is... the opposite. it's not dirty by any means, nor is it technically a mess in his eyes ⁠— he knows where everything is at all times without having to search blindly. ( despite the apparent clutter, all the stacks of paper notes and blueprints are immaculately stacked, despite how seemingly random their placement may be. )

it's a dangerous space for anyone who isn't him, though, and he gets rather territorial and possessive about people messing with his things.

tesla will sleep between his cats if they decide they're tired when he goes to bed, with shennath and greg on one side and d'althe on the other ( and it's always like that; d'althe refuses to share any space with the other two )

“You’re one to talk about an ego.” Lovecraft huffed.

He wasn’t having any of this. And not a single word of his could be trusted. As much as Nyarlathotep served only to feed disorder, him being here in particular only aroused more suspicion. 

But there were two things even the false pharaoh couldn’t hide. And those were the weather, and the words of others. There had been a pressure drop recently out there in the Pacific, heading west towards Japan and on a collision course to Yokohama. The city was going to be slammed by the worst storm in decades in just days. So if Nyarlathotep wanted to start a gang war, he was going to place it in perhaps the most fitting weather possible…and with extra electricity on his side assuming thunderstorms were brought ashore. 

Great. Just great. He already had laid out such a plan, and of course Lovecraft couldn’t stop the weather. The blueprint was already in the atmosphere and nothing could tear it up.

However, below the rolling clouds, there was a single bullet he could use…

“Didn’t Fitzgerald say you were new?”

irritation bristles through tesla, hairs raising with static electricity that fills the air. his arms are still crossed, the movement in his amber eyes intense and dangerous — and cold, oh, so cold. and yet, somehow, that coldness doesn’t reach his voice. “ oh, that? fitzy isn’t the brightest — he was making a joke. sort of. i am new as an actual member of the guild; the past few years have been all contract work. ” for once, despite his foul attitude, he’s being honest.

“ i was a hit man of sorts. hired for the real nasty stuff. ” tesla’s nose scrunches up as he speaks, but he’s smiling. “ i’ve never minded getting my hands dirty, you know. particularly with the larger groups. ” oh, now you’ve done it, lovecraft, and he’s set on giving too many details. “ driving them slowly to absolute distrust of one another, watching them turn their weapons on each other, and the ensuing carnage... i’ve laughed a lot about it. ”

he pauses, pursing his lips. “ i’m also their weapons supplier. but i’m assuming you knew that already? ” he’s counting on lovecraft not knowing that, actually, for the dramatic effect.

@vulpexitus​​ asked:

Perhaps Tesla's thoughts on history? Perhaps not strictly of the humankind, but does history as a concept exist for someone like Tesla? If so, how? Is it important or inconsequential? Does he learn from history or is he more future - oriented? // meta topics

history is... a rather interesting topic. i keep going on about how so many concepts are so human and thus don’t apply, and history is almost one; there is a concept and understanding of the past, but observing it as a history and something to learn from is something different altogether.

but that also could be strictly a tesla thing — a nyarlathotep thing. after all, he hasn’t dealt with anything that demands learning from, and if he has ( such as his emotions relating to carter ), he’s chosen to ignore it. ( he’s not like his great-grand-nephew, who witnessed the fall of an entire civilization he once cared for, nor is he like his wife, who has lost all those who once worshiped her and has fallen into virtual non-existence. he’s maintained a steady stream of loyalists, without much if any threat to his existence from any source, and thus has no need to learn. )

but, on the other hand, calling him future-oriented is also wrong. he’s geared very much to the present and bringing himself joy in whatever current way possible. the future he focuses on is practically the present to someone as ancient as him, as the lifespans of humans are so brief. any future plans come into play so quickly.

@giftandguile​ asked:

meta about his view on human compassion specifically // meta topics

it’s pointless, like most everything about humanity. compassion, to him, is a terribly foreign thing — no one in his family has any compassion for another. ( compassion is not only a human concept, but an animal one in general. it’s observed in so many species, and even the designation as an animal concept is perhaps reductive — plants have demonstrated it, if not deliberate. but the outer gods and old ones are far from anything of this world, and the dynamics they have with each other make no sense. )

at best, it’s amusing. at worst, it’s an active, annoying waste of time to observe. it can be fun to meddle in, however; pulling at the heartstrings of someone with strong compassion, hurting those they’re compassionate towards... those reactions can be rather delicous.

send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on

I might write anything from a paragraph to a whopping essay, but send me something you’ve noticed about my characterisation or just something you want to know about my muse and I will write what I can!

ah yes, it’s me. plantathan sims.

1 2 and 3 ! // mun questions

1. Who has been your favorite muse to play?

god, we’re going into a throwback here, but my fondest memories are of writing johannes cabal in that tiny rpc and the parallel... general supernatural ( the genre, not the show ) rpc five-six years ago. otherwise, right now i have the most raw fun with tesla.

2. Do you listen to music while you write? If so, what do you like to listen to?

sometimes! sometimes i listen to nothing, but if i turn music on, it’s usually a character playlist ( tesla’s can be found here ). sometimes i’ll ignore playlists and put a song on repeat if there’s a Specific Mood, though. it really just depends on what i’m writing.

3. Are there any particular aus or plots that you’d really like to write?

for tesla? hmm... definitely no aus for him, but i sort of want him to try to get into steinbeck’s head a bit. >:3c just to get to lovecraft, you know.

the fonts in my two banners are just slightly different because i forgot what font i used for my ask banner... just a tiny bit of chaos :)

MUN      VS.     MUSE(S)        !

✲  —        FIVE  SIMILARITIES   .

we both find women who could and would step on our throat with heels very sexy

we literally can not stop talking and are very good at getting people to like us ( we can play social situations and the people in them like fiddles )

we’re both very social and yet not really known by anyone at all. secretive! very secretive!

when people leave us we have a tendency to demonize them in our minds to cope with the fact that we’ve lost, instead of mourning the loss of the relationship like a healthy person ( oops! ).

i just realized we’re both cancers, which is infuriating

ϟ  —         FIVE  DIFFERENCES   .

i’m not nyarlathotep in a flesh suit

i’m also not terrible and evil and manipulative like he is

i have no brain cells when it comes to inventing things. what the fuck is science and math.

i’m baby. he’s bastard.

i like to think that everyone here doesn’t hate me like they all hate him

minegishi but it's because of matsuo

kajii but it's to play with elise and q

[teslathotep]

the family is just Like This, huh

[teslathotep]

azathoth is too distant, too passive, for tesla to have any true fear of. respect? of course it demands respect; it's why nyarlathotep exists at all. it's their only parent, although that's such a human term for something very much inhuman. but, despite how dutifully he carries out its rare wishes, tesla knows azathoth is too distant to care what he does on his own.
