Full Hiatus

((Unfortunately due to my grandfather passing away late last night and stress in my life I will be putting this blog on full hiatus for a unknown period of time.

Once again it has nothing to do with the Don’t Starve community, the people here are wonderful and friendly, it’s Kaiser himself that I want to take a break from. He’s a extremely negative character that’s pretty much a asshole all the time and in order to make sure he stays in character I have to pretty much think negatively as well which is something I don’t need right now.

I’m sorry for doing this, but it’s something that needs to be done. I might return to this blog when things get better, I might not, who knows. However I had a blast and I don’t regret starting this blog.

Cheers, Blaze))

((Sorry guys, but I’m going to be even less active on this blog for the next little while because of a lot of RL stress and things happening. It’s not the community, the community is great, but it’s Kaiser himself. I would like to not think about negative things while all of this is going on and with how Kaiser thinks and his personality I have to in order to get his muse going.

I’ll try to at least post for Valentine’s day, but I’m not making any promises sorry 8c))

Perhaps this world was getting to her. She had tried - and failed - to rationalize exactly why she was doing this, but it was happening now, and she had no other explanation for herself other than, "because I'm lonely." So, there she stood, cloak wrapped tightly around herself, next to a slowly fading fire before softly breathing the puppetmaster's name. "Kaiser..."

And it was only a few moments after she said his name that a voice came from right beside her, “You called?” he asked with a usual grin, sitting next to her like he had always been there.

She barely even flinched at his appearance, having expected him to pop up quite suddenly as per usual.  The rover turned slightly to the side, half facing him. “Good evening,” she greeted quietly, hood tilting back a bit as she looked up the taller individual.  “Do you have a little time to perhaps…sit with me a while?  It has been some time since last we met, and the woods gets quite lonely in the early hours of the morn…”

[throned-shadow-king-blog]

He snickered a bit at her words, “What do you think I’m doing now, my dear?” Kaiser gave a slight flick of his wrist to motion how he was already sitting down, “I’ve got all the time in the world.” he said in a smooth tone. After all this was his world.

“I was given it by someone wearing a grey mask and cloak. I am still not sure about it, but I have read through it and the spells it contains seem powerful.”

“I approached Tabitha because I’ve been trained in the handling of artifacts with significance or connection to otherworldly beings. Our intention was to bring the owner or keeper of the book here- in my experience, it’s best to not meddle with these things too much without knowing the will of the powers that be.”

“I don’t suppose you would know anything about the mysterious benefactor, considering your response before, but does someone of that description mean anything to you?”

The king glanced between the two for a few moments....before letting out a small chuckle that just a hint of chill to it, “And a wise decision on your part.” though they just made it easier for him to pull them to his world, silly humans, “What you have there is the Codex Umbra as you might already know if you can read and it was created by Them, a very powerful force composed of many minds and absolute ruler of Their own world. The spells in the book are indeed powerful, not as powerful as Them of course, but powerful enough to defeat your foes easily.” he explained with a lazed grin. Why was he just telling them this? Well that’s simple;

It’ll make them much more easier to manipulate.

Tell them what they want, make yourself appear to be a good person, and they will practically eat out of your hand. He had did it many times before, this would be no different.

“It comes to no surprise though that the main element of the spells is shadows considering the name. Keep practicing with said spells and you’ll grow more powerful, powerful enough to do what you wish, but the real power comes from Them so keep that in mind.” Kaiser finished and looked expectantly at the two, waiting for more questions.

“I’m afraid that isn’t the sort of thing we can permit at the moment, honorable Kaiser. The book is currently the focus of this summoning, meaning that it is linked to your presence here. Not to mention, we don’t yet know your intentions. You must understand that I have been trained to be cautious, so please forgive me if I don’t agree to your requests.”

That request alone has made her suspicious. This being, this Kaiser… it’s rarely a good sign when an entity asks to be handed the object you’re warding.

Tabitha completely agreed with Itsuke, and did not think it was wise at all to let anyone near the tome. He was very suspicious of the supernatural. He did not trust Kaiser.

“Oh of course, how silly of me.” he said as though it was a genuine mistake, “First summoning so I wouldn’t have asked if I had know, thank you for telling me such.” Just give him enough time and he wouldn’t need whatever spell, his focus and will would be enough to keep him here long enough to deal with the two...

For now though he would play by their rules, how fortunate of them.

Kaiser let his gaze wonder the area for a moment before his gaze landed on the tome, the Puppetmaster giving a ever so slight twitch once he saw it. How the hell...? He was both puzzled and infuriated to see that book there, but he kept it hidden under the usual smile.

He didn’t move to get it, instead taking a few casual yet measure steps toward the two, “How did you get that?”

Tabitha kept a neutral expression, not showing any emotion in the presence of the spirit. He assumed that would be the safest route to go.

With his eyes closed, somewhat more tightly than usual, he spoke.

“Hello. I am Tabitha, admin of Team Magma. We have summoned you here today because we are trying to learn more about this mysterious tome that I have received.”

It was the man that answer first so Kaiser looked toward with with a slight tilt of his head. Such a neutral expression...it would be all the more satisfying to see the fear on his face. Team Magma? What absolutely silly name and not to mention unoriginal. Apparently whoever was the leader of said team didn’t have much of a brain to use.

“Might I see this tome then, Tabitha?” his tone was the same as before, the name spoke with a bit of humor though, “In fact just let me hold it and I’ll look through it, all while answering your questions of course.” It might have been a long shot, but it was a shot he was willing to take. Most of these summoning tended to be made by those who were dull...

She whirls around, genuinely surprised. She’s never seen a manifestation like this. It’s not quite like the illusions of a mischievous Gastly, and too solid to be a human ghost. The figure definitely is more like a Ghost-type in how it seems to be manipulating shadows as if they were material.

She bows politely.

“We are grateful for your honoring us with your presence. Is there something we might address you by, spirit?”

Aw wasn’t this just cute? Did they have any idea what they messing with? This could have easily gotten them pulled into the World of Them. Not that he would have minded of course, more little subjects for him to see how long it would take to break.

At least this one seemed to have manners, seeing the bow. He examined her for a few moments, his gaze almost predatory, before he moved his gaze toward the male, examining him as well. He couldn’t help but wonder what caused the two to call out to Them, figuring it was either for greed or for curiosity. That’s what it usually was anyway.

The king looked back at the woman, “As you should, but you may call me Kaiser.” his voice was smooth, not holding a hint of the dark intentions he was thinking, “Might I ask for your names and why you summoned me here?” He was going with the whole spirit thing to make things more interesting and lure them into a false sense of safety.

In her shadow, Sori hides, lending his power to the ritual. He’s not concerned about this- this seems routine enough, Mom communicating with unknown, otherworldly forces. Between the two of them, their channeling culminates into a call to elsewhere… wherever it is that the book will take their invitation.

Something was making Them interested which in turned made him interested. What could it be this time? Another Puppetmaster? Or a particular survivor They wanted to see suffer? Who knows since They were many minds in one and all of Them were unpredictable as They were cruel.

As soon as he got the word from Them, something about a call went that made him even more curious, he focused his energy to find where this call was coming from. It was a ritual by the looks of it, so foolish really, and it was...coming from a world he hadn’t really been to before.

Interesting.

The shadows in the area the two humans were in darken noticeably, some even bristling and breathing, and it was only a few moments later before a voice spoke from behind them.

“You rang?” Kaiser questioned in a slight sarcastic tone, the usual grin on his face as he stood there with his hands folded behind his back.

The Shadow King had arrived.

"So your planning on being my older sisters date for valentines after all?" Stated soldier.

“She’s the one that asked me and what sort of gentleman would I be if I didn’t accept?” he smirked.

[sky-captain-jack]

    Jackson frowned under the helmet as he gazed at the man. “Fine,I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Only for my Nona’s sake.” he folded his arms while shifting his attention else where before returning a undivided focus to Kaiser.

   “That reminds me…what are your thoughts on Dr. Sinclair,I’m sure your familiar with that puppet-master in particular.” This was not a casual talk,this was for something else and it was evident in the soldier’s voice.

[throned-shadow-king-blog]

Kaiser just smiled a bit more at his first statement before responding to the question, “He’s someone I can get along with rather well, have a nice drink over science, considering that he let me have one of his experiments. Why ever do you ask, Jackie?” He took note of the other’s voice and it made him curious.

[sky-captain-jack]

“I didn’t realize you were a gentleman to begin with.” The soldier stated yet again ,gazing at the puppet master. Whether he was sincere on his actions was yet to be seen.

[throned-shadow-king-blog]

“Oh come now, Jackie, I’m wounded.” he grinned a bit, “At least I’m giving her a chance and trying to be nice.”

So what happens if you just feed someone a solid diet of Nightmare Fuel? I don't think you're supposed to eat that stuff...

“They die in a rather horrible way considering the Nightmare Fuel is poisonous when consumed.”

(Hey, just making sure the mun doesn't mind the questions. I like hearing your headcanons, and I just want to make sure that the way I'm going about this is not coming across as trying to make you run your muse a certain way.)

((While I love talking about my head canons as much as the next person, doing one right after another does get a bit tiring since it doesn’t really lead to anything. It’s just answering a question and that’s it. I would like to develop something, but if you want you can keep asking just slow down on them.))

"Kaiser? Um--do you have any plan's for Valentine's Day?"

“No why do you ask, dear Winona?”

“Well–” she replied, her cheeks growing red, “you wanted…more time. Because you…weren’t sure.” Oh no. She hoped she hadn’t done something stupid by even asking. She thought that maybe if the two of them got to know each other better, perhaps they could better gauge the situation and determine if there was anything between them.

Winona held out for potential. But she knew that the chances of failure were high. But if it did work out–wasn’t it worth the risk?

“Um–if you don’t want to, though, I understand.”

He gave a hum of thought before answer, “Alright, I’ll join you for dinner.”

[winona-the-lovesick-blog]

She perked up. “Really!?” She asked with a smile. “Oh–that’s wonderful! I’ll make something delicious, I promise!” It seemed he was willing to take the chance, too.

[throned-shadow-king-blog]

“I’m sure you will~” he purred, “Though please; don’t disappoint me.” 

[throned-shadow-king-blog]

Even without his book, he might still have traces of Their power from what the Throne gave him. It clearly makes alterations to the king and it's not entirely clear whether or not those alterations are reversed just because a king is dethroned. Just saying, you probably shouldn't leave the magician with a possible trick up his sleeves.

“I’ve been on the Throne for three years and he has yet to show any powers, the shadows have been watching him close enough to make sure of that. However I will admit that this is just with my Maxwell, what you said could be true with another world’s Maxwell.”
