This is an ask/roleplay blog for Locust! An OC made and run by @hiddens-studio

General rules/information:

Locust is a character heavily inspired by weirdcore aesthetics, as such the account will reflect this visually.

Locust perfers they/them pronouns but is often referred to with he/him due to high rank.

Despite their scary appearance, they're actually an extremely powerful seraphim. So much holy energy in their being that they cannot surpress themself into a comprehendable form for mortals.

When a human or husk gazes at Locust, it causes extreme paranoia, nausea, and eventually permanent madness.

Angels, fallen angels, demons, and prime souls are able to view Locust fine.

Machines will crash when looking at Locust, they can render them only at the lowest possible resolution. Even then it's a bit laggy.

Locust has 4 children who look like classic weirdcore angels. Their children are young cherubim.

Their children, unlike themself, are safe for mortals to observe.

Nsfw is allowed but only ask/interact with such topics if you are an adult. And leave Locust's kids out of it. Mod and Locust are adults. Their children are minors.

Do not @ or sent vents to this account. This is allowed however if it's incharacter.

Mod has the right to block and not answer asks that make them uncomfortable .

Locust

Locust's children (x4)

[weirdcoreangel]

V-X was wandering through Fraud as per usual, practically skipping as they made their way from room to room, killing every enemy in their path. Eventually the found themself in what seemed to be a new hallway, leading up to…a new room?

Now this was exciting!! They chirped, speeding up as they started to explore.

( @prototype-vx )

"it machine!"

"hello machine!"

"friend?"

"it friend?"

Four little angels suddenly swarm V-X. Fluttering around her in circles before stopping in front of them. They chirp like happy chicklets in a barn!

[prototype-vx]

V-X was startled, a loud high pitch beep coming from her as she tripped and fell. Once she was more aware of her surroundings she looked around at the strange angels surrounding her, tilting her head to the side. This was new, new was exciting! Hell was treating her well today.

“Not hostile.”

She signed, hoping the mystery angels understood sign.

“So maybe friend?”

[weirdcoreangel]

The four angels immediately flutter down to land on V-X's chest. Chirping and chirping. The little ones have much to say!

"it friend!"

"friend!"

"friend okay?"

"friend fell!"

The children purr and chirp.

[prototype-vx]

V-X started chittering happily, nodding and propping themself up before signing again.

“Friend ok. Just was startled.”

They chittered again, similar to a laugh. As blunt as their sign was, it was clear they were happy. These angels seemed similar to their logs of human children, so perhaps they were children as well?

“Young angels, do you have names?”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels shift to be settled and curled up on V-X's lap. Snuggling together like a bundle of feathers while chirping.

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, hesitating at first before gently petting the angel she presumed to be Flores (it was hard to tell as they were identical). She did this for a few moments before signing.

“Are you alone? Or do you have a parent close? Want to make sure you all are safe.”

They were children, so she couldn’t help but be at least a little concerned, even if it wasn’t usual for her to feel such a way.

[weirdcoreangel]

"dad near."

Flores said, chirping as they were pet. It was like the four babies were trying to huddle together and nest on V-Xs lap.

"it dad!" Another little one chimes in, when a tall, rather scary looking (or hot looking if you're into that) angel could be seen in the corner of the room. Having appeared rather suddenly.

All of the angels begin chirping happily at the imposing Seraphim.

[prototype-vx]

V-X looked up, and then saw the aforementioned father.

Immediately error messages started popping up at a rapid speed, their vision completely eroding within a matter of seconds. They screeched and fell back again, their body tweaking out a bit before going completely still.

Luckily their tank was full so only minimal damage was done there, and after a few minutes of full shutdown, V-X awoke, sitting back up and hitting the side of their head like one would hit a broken TV. They eventually were able to look back up, albeit their vision was severely corrupted. Oops.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust immediately covers themself with their wings in attempt to not cause more damage.

"my. Apologies. Machine."

The children immediately swarm V-X again.

"friend okay?!" "Friend hurt!" "Dad strong. He not mean it!" "Friend hurt!"

[prototype-vx]

V-X turned down her graphics settings before nodding, sitting back up before signing.

“No apologies needed. My systems are old. I am not hurt, I promise.”

This was true. Being an old forgotten prototype had a lot of downsides.

“Have never met a proper angel before. Besides virtues or providences. You are different. Unique. Fascinating.”

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust tilts their head.

"I am. A. Seraphim. My children. Cherubim."

The children all begin chirping and fluttering around happily.

[prototype-vx]

“Seraphim. Do you have a name? And why in Fraud, not in Heaven?”

V-X signed, their gaze redirecting to watch the children flying around. They were cute, at least based on what V-X had learned being cute was from their programmers. Small, kind, energetic, and sweet on the eyes. Cute.

After a few moments of thinking they realized their question sounded a bit harsh, beeping before signing again.

“Not to say it is bad to be in Fraud. Fraud is good. If you were not in Fraud I would not have found you, which would be sad. Glad I found you and the children.”

They signed quickly, trying their best not to seem rude.

[weirdcoreangel]

"I am. Locust."

Locust appears much closer to V-X in a second. Appearing very suddenly.

The children flutter and land on different parts of the machine, two on the head, two on the shoulders. They're very light and fluffy.

[prototype-vx]

“Locust. I will remember.”

V-X’s vision glitched out briefly again as Locust came closer, but she wasn’t alarmed this time, chittering in a way that resembled a laugh. She “laughed” again as she felt the children sit on her, reaching up to pet one of the ones on her head before signing.

“You and your children are very kind. Nicer than the other angels in Hell. Virtues and providences are not kind to machines.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Virtues. Providences. Quick to act. Yet. Eyes clouded by. Their orders. They do not see beyond."

Locust kneels down to V-X. They tilt their head before smiling just a little subtly with their eyes at their children on her.

"Children. Only know kindness. I teach them. Kindness and sympathy. Angels need. Those aspects."

"machine nice!"

"can keep her?"

Locust briefly becomes flustered by what their kid's said.

"ah..."

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, looking up at Locust. Their systems started alarming, alerting them to look away, but…why would they do that? It’s not like any harm would come to them. They weren’t afraid.

“Taught them well.”

She chittered as she heard what the children had said, finding it incredibly amusing. They were so similar to human children, just…looking differently. She couldn’t help but think fondly of them.

“I can stay. No rush to go.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"yay! Machine stay!"

"machine mom?"

"it mom!"

"it mom!"

The little ones start a small chorus of "it mom" over and over...

"children, please--"

[prototype-vx]

V-X kept “laughing”, watching the children fly around them.

“It is ok. Let them have fun.”

Their optic closed for a moment, as if they were smiling, before opening again.

[weirdcoreangel]

The little ones flutter around and swarm V-X again, chirping happily.

"it mom!"

"it mom!"

"we got. Mom and dad!"

"it mom and dad!"

Locust does calm down at V-X's reaction, though they still seem rather flustered.

[prototype-vx]

V-X looked around at the children, chittering and shaking their head.

“Not good parent. But can be friend to children?”

Parenting was a bizzare concept to them, only knowing of it due to the information given to them by their creator. To take care of another being, to raise it as your own…but that wasn’t what confused them. Children looked up to adults, needed guidance from adults. A child needs a good influence. Which they were not.

[weirdcoreangel]

The children completely ignore V-X. Instead they all gently land in their arms, happily chirping like little baby chicks.

"it mom!"

"mom kind!"

"mom good!"

"love mom!"

They definitely got attached quickly. Locust kept watching, though clearly with fondness along with the slight embarrassment.

Locust does certainly feel very grateful how kind and patient the machine is to their kids.

[prototype-vx]

V-X huffed, but it was clear they weren’t actually upset. They focused their attention to Locust, beeping happily.

“Children are sweet. Need to be careful, most machines are not docile. Hostile towards angels.”

She omitted the fact that she was also usually quite hostile towards angels. But she couldn’t bring herself to feel anger towards the children on their first meeting, and for some reason Locust didn’t give her the same anger that the powers or providences made her feel. She felt…comfortable.

And that scared her. Though she wouldn’t let it show.

[weirdcoreangel]

"my children. Can sense intent. They know who to. Trust. But I always. Watch them close."

Locust still felt bad about possibly damaging the kind machine's graphics, so like a seraphim of old, their wings fold in to cover their entire body. Making them safer to view. Though that view again is just 3 sets of wings.

"mom nice!" One of the children chirps again,

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, mimicking the child’s chirp. She noticed how Locust covered themself up, immediatly directing her attention back to them.

“Do not have to cover up. My graphics will be fine. Systems have handled worse.”

She didn’t want to admit it, but for some reasons he didn’t want Locust to cover themself up….she just liked looking at them. Despite how much the various error messages told her to look away.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust does uncover themself, kneeling down to be a lot closer to V-X, due to their insane height.

"I just. Do not like. when people get hurt. Because of me."

They seem genuinely sad about this, about how they are.

"humans. Scream. And run away. From me. I just wish. To help. As god. Intended."

Though, they always feel the worst when humans sometimes look for too long and ... Get really sick...

"... Perhaps if ... I share my light with someone ... I can..."

Locust murmurs the last part,

[prototype-vx]

“Humans are weak. Cannot perceive much. I can. I like to.”

V-X whirred a bit, looking up at Locust. As much as they disliked their own mechanical form, they would be lying if they said it didn’t have its benefits. If they had to reject the possibility of an organic make just to witness Locust, they would.

The mention of God irritated her, though she didn’t let it show. While Locust’s form was beautiful to her, if it caused them so much pain, why would they have been created this way? God was similar to humans in her eye. Uncaring of the consequences of their actions.

V-X heard the last few words, humming a little.

“Hope you can find someone to share. Will help. You deserve it.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"..."

Locust moves closer, leaning over V-X... Wings gently wrapping around the machine tenderly.

"... You are. Very kind ... Would you... Allow me to share... With you?"

[prototype-vx]

V-X stood up, still significantly shorter than Locust despite not sitting down anymore. Upon feeling their wings wrap around her, her fans almost immediately kicked up to counteract the increase in internal temperature. Suddenly she felt very…fuzzy. Warm. Good. It was strange, not a feeling she was used to.

“Me?”

She signed back to them, still somewhat in disbelief.

[weirdcoreangel]

"yes. You."

Locust said, tilting their head.

"you. Are kind. I like. You."

Their hand gently took one of V-X's.

"perhaps. If. I share. Light with you. I can. Finally. Change form. And not. Be feared anymore."

[prototype-vx]

V-X flinched a bit when Locust took her hand into their own, but didn’t pull away. It felt as if she was malfunctioning, a strange feeling building up and causing her fans to whirr even louder.

They weren’t supposed to feel like this, to feel whatever they were feeling in this moment. And yet…it felt right. It felt more right than most of their life did.

V-X gently squeezed Locust’s hand before pulling their hand back to sign.

“Do you only want to change for others? Or self?”

She didn’t want them to change just because of how others perceived them…she didn’t know why she felt this way, but she wanted them to be happy.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust was going to answer, but... They didn't. They second guess themself, looking unsure.

"o...others ...supposed to be an angel. Kind. Gentle. Help others. But. They are. Afraid. Get sick when they. See me. I fail. As an angel..."

Isn't being selfless something an angel should be? Right? ...right?

[weirdcoreangel]

V-X was wandering through Fraud as per usual, practically skipping as they made their way from room to room, killing every enemy in their path. Eventually the found themself in what seemed to be a new hallway, leading up to…a new room?

V-X kept “laughing”, watching the children fly around them.

“It is ok. Let them have fun.”

Their optic closed for a moment, as if they were smiling, before opening again.

[weirdcoreangel]

The little ones flutter around and swarm V-X again, chirping happily.

"it mom!"

"it mom!"

"we got. Mom and dad!"

"it mom and dad!"

Locust does calm down at V-X's reaction, though they still seem rather flustered.

[prototype-vx]

V-X looked around at the children, chittering and shaking their head.

“Not good parent. But can be friend to children?”

Parenting was a bizzare concept to them, only knowing of it due to the information given to them by their creator. To take care of another being, to raise it as your own…but that wasn’t what confused them. Children looked up to adults, needed guidance from adults. A child needs a good influence. Which they were not.

[weirdcoreangel]

The children completely ignore V-X. Instead they all gently land in their arms, happily chirping like little baby chicks.

"it mom!"

"mom kind!"

"mom good!"

"love mom!"

They definitely got attached quickly. Locust kept watching, though clearly with fondness along with the slight embarrassment.

Locust does certainly feel very grateful how kind and patient the machine is to their kids.

[prototype-vx]

V-X huffed, but it was clear they weren’t actually upset. They focused their attention to Locust, beeping happily.

“Children are sweet. Need to be careful, most machines are not docile. Hostile towards angels.”

She omitted the fact that she was also usually quite hostile towards angels. But she couldn’t bring herself to feel anger towards the children on their first meeting, and for some reason Locust didn’t give her the same anger that the powers or providences made her feel. She felt…comfortable.

And that scared her. Though she wouldn’t let it show.

[weirdcoreangel]

"my children. Can sense intent. They know who to. Trust. But I always. Watch them close."

Locust still felt bad about possibly damaging the kind machine's graphics, so like a seraphim of old, their wings fold in to cover their entire body. Making them safer to view. Though that view again is just 3 sets of wings.

"mom nice!" One of the children chirps again,

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, mimicking the child’s chirp. She noticed how Locust covered themself up, immediatly directing her attention back to them.

“Do not have to cover up. My graphics will be fine. Systems have handled worse.”

She didn’t want to admit it, but for some reasons he didn’t want Locust to cover themself up….she just liked looking at them. Despite how much the various error messages told her to look away.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust does uncover themself, kneeling down to be a lot closer to V-X, due to their insane height.

"I just. Do not like. when people get hurt. Because of me."

They seem genuinely sad about this, about how they are.

"humans. Scream. And run away. From me. I just wish. To help. As god. Intended."

Though, they always feel the worst when humans sometimes look for too long and ... Get really sick...

"... Perhaps if ... I share my light with someone ... I can..."

Locust murmurs the last part,

[prototype-vx]

“Humans are weak. Cannot perceive much. I can. I like to.”

V-X whirred a bit, looking up at Locust. As much as they disliked their own mechanical form, they would be lying if they said it didn’t have its benefits. If they had to reject the possibility of an organic make just to witness Locust, they would.

The mention of God irritated her, though she didn’t let it show. While Locust’s form was beautiful to her, if it caused them so much pain, why would they have been created this way? God was similar to humans in her eye. Uncaring of the consequences of their actions.

V-X heard the last few words, humming a little.

“Hope you can find someone to share. Will help. You deserve it.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"..."

Locust moves closer, leaning over V-X... Wings gently wrapping around the machine tenderly.

"... You are. Very kind ... Would you... Allow me to share... With you?"

[weirdcoreangel]

V-X was wandering through Fraud as per usual, practically skipping as they made their way from room to room, killing every enemy in their path. Eventually the found themself in what seemed to be a new hallway, leading up to…a new room?

Now this was exciting!! They chirped, speeding up as they started to explore.

( @prototype-vx )

"it machine!"

"hello machine!"

"friend?"

"it friend?"

Four little angels suddenly swarm V-X. Fluttering around her in circles before stopping in front of them. They chirp like happy chicklets in a barn!

[prototype-vx]

V-X was startled, a loud high pitch beep coming from her as she tripped and fell. Once she was more aware of her surroundings she looked around at the strange angels surrounding her, tilting her head to the side. This was new, new was exciting! Hell was treating her well today.

“Not hostile.”

She signed, hoping the mystery angels understood sign.

“So maybe friend?”

[weirdcoreangel]

The four angels immediately flutter down to land on V-X's chest. Chirping and chirping. The little ones have much to say!

"it friend!"

"friend!"

"friend okay?"

"friend fell!"

The children purr and chirp.

[prototype-vx]

V-X started chittering happily, nodding and propping themself up before signing again.

“Friend ok. Just was startled.”

They chittered again, similar to a laugh. As blunt as their sign was, it was clear they were happy. These angels seemed similar to their logs of human children, so perhaps they were children as well?

“Young angels, do you have names?”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels shift to be settled and curled up on V-X's lap. Snuggling together like a bundle of feathers while chirping.

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, hesitating at first before gently petting the angel she presumed to be Flores (it was hard to tell as they were identical). She did this for a few moments before signing.

“Are you alone? Or do you have a parent close? Want to make sure you all are safe.”

They were children, so she couldn’t help but be at least a little concerned, even if it wasn’t usual for her to feel such a way.

[weirdcoreangel]

"dad near."

Flores said, chirping as they were pet. It was like the four babies were trying to huddle together and nest on V-Xs lap.

"it dad!" Another little one chimes in, when a tall, rather scary looking (or hot looking if you're into that) angel could be seen in the corner of the room. Having appeared rather suddenly.

All of the angels begin chirping happily at the imposing Seraphim.

[prototype-vx]

V-X looked up, and then saw the aforementioned father.

Immediately error messages started popping up at a rapid speed, their vision completely eroding within a matter of seconds. They screeched and fell back again, their body tweaking out a bit before going completely still.

Luckily their tank was full so only minimal damage was done there, and after a few minutes of full shutdown, V-X awoke, sitting back up and hitting the side of their head like one would hit a broken TV. They eventually were able to look back up, albeit their vision was severely corrupted. Oops.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust immediately covers themself with their wings in attempt to not cause more damage.

"my. Apologies. Machine."

The children immediately swarm V-X again.

"friend okay?!" "Friend hurt!" "Dad strong. He not mean it!" "Friend hurt!"

[prototype-vx]

V-X turned down her graphics settings before nodding, sitting back up before signing.

“No apologies needed. My systems are old. I am not hurt, I promise.”

This was true. Being an old forgotten prototype had a lot of downsides.

“Have never met a proper angel before. Besides virtues or providences. You are different. Unique. Fascinating.”

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust tilts their head.

"I am. A. Seraphim. My children. Cherubim."

The children all begin chirping and fluttering around happily.

[prototype-vx]

“Seraphim. Do you have a name? And why in Fraud, not in Heaven?”

V-X signed, their gaze redirecting to watch the children flying around. They were cute, at least based on what V-X had learned being cute was from their programmers. Small, kind, energetic, and sweet on the eyes. Cute.

After a few moments of thinking they realized their question sounded a bit harsh, beeping before signing again.

“Not to say it is bad to be in Fraud. Fraud is good. If you were not in Fraud I would not have found you, which would be sad. Glad I found you and the children.”

They signed quickly, trying their best not to seem rude.

[weirdcoreangel]

"I am. Locust."

Locust appears much closer to V-X in a second. Appearing very suddenly.

The children flutter and land on different parts of the machine, two on the head, two on the shoulders. They're very light and fluffy.

[prototype-vx]

“Locust. I will remember.”

V-X’s vision glitched out briefly again as Locust came closer, but she wasn’t alarmed this time, chittering in a way that resembled a laugh. She “laughed” again as she felt the children sit on her, reaching up to pet one of the ones on her head before signing.

“You and your children are very kind. Nicer than the other angels in Hell. Virtues and providences are not kind to machines.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Virtues. Providences. Quick to act. Yet. Eyes clouded by. Their orders. They do not see beyond."

Locust kneels down to V-X. They tilt their head before smiling just a little subtly with their eyes at their children on her.

"Children. Only know kindness. I teach them. Kindness and sympathy. Angels need. Those aspects."

"machine nice!"

"can keep her?"

Locust briefly becomes flustered by what their kid's said.

"ah..."

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, looking up at Locust. Their systems started alarming, alerting them to look away, but…why would they do that? It’s not like any harm would come to them. They weren’t afraid.

“Taught them well.”

She chittered as she heard what the children had said, finding it incredibly amusing. They were so similar to human children, just…looking differently. She couldn’t help but think fondly of them.

“I can stay. No rush to go.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"yay! Machine stay!"

"machine mom?"

"it mom!"

"it mom!"

The little ones start a small chorus of "it mom" over and over...

"children, please--"

[prototype-vx]

V-X kept “laughing”, watching the children fly around them.

Their optic closed for a moment, as if they were smiling, before opening again.

They chittered again, similar to a laugh. As blunt as their sign was, it was clear they were happy. These angels seemed similar to their logs of human children, so perhaps they were children as well?

“Young angels, do you have names?”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels shift to be settled and curled up on V-X's lap. Snuggling together like a bundle of feathers while chirping.

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, hesitating at first before gently petting the angel she presumed to be Flores (it was hard to tell as they were identical). She did this for a few moments before signing.

“Are you alone? Or do you have a parent close? Want to make sure you all are safe.”

They were children, so she couldn’t help but be at least a little concerned, even if it wasn’t usual for her to feel such a way.

[weirdcoreangel]

"dad near."

Flores said, chirping as they were pet. It was like the four babies were trying to huddle together and nest on V-Xs lap.

"it dad!" Another little one chimes in, when a tall, rather scary looking (or hot looking if you're into that) angel could be seen in the corner of the room. Having appeared rather suddenly.

All of the angels begin chirping happily at the imposing Seraphim.

[prototype-vx]

V-X looked up, and then saw the aforementioned father.

Immediately error messages started popping up at a rapid speed, their vision completely eroding within a matter of seconds. They screeched and fell back again, their body tweaking out a bit before going completely still.

Luckily their tank was full so only minimal damage was done there, and after a few minutes of full shutdown, V-X awoke, sitting back up and hitting the side of their head like one would hit a broken TV. They eventually were able to look back up, albeit their vision was severely corrupted. Oops.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust immediately covers themself with their wings in attempt to not cause more damage.

"my. Apologies. Machine."

The children immediately swarm V-X again.

"friend okay?!" "Friend hurt!" "Dad strong. He not mean it!" "Friend hurt!"

[prototype-vx]

V-X turned down her graphics settings before nodding, sitting back up before signing.

“No apologies needed. My systems are old. I am not hurt, I promise.”

This was true. Being an old forgotten prototype had a lot of downsides.

“Have never met a proper angel before. Besides virtues or providences. You are different. Unique. Fascinating.”

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust tilts their head.

"I am. A. Seraphim. My children. Cherubim."

The children all begin chirping and fluttering around happily.

[prototype-vx]

“Seraphim. Do you have a name? And why in Fraud, not in Heaven?”

V-X signed, their gaze redirecting to watch the children flying around. They were cute, at least based on what V-X had learned being cute was from their programmers. Small, kind, energetic, and sweet on the eyes. Cute.

After a few moments of thinking they realized their question sounded a bit harsh, beeping before signing again.

“Not to say it is bad to be in Fraud. Fraud is good. If you were not in Fraud I would not have found you, which would be sad. Glad I found you and the children.”

They signed quickly, trying their best not to seem rude.

[weirdcoreangel]

"I am. Locust."

Locust appears much closer to V-X in a second. Appearing very suddenly.

The children flutter and land on different parts of the machine, two on the head, two on the shoulders. They're very light and fluffy.

[prototype-vx]

“Locust. I will remember.”

V-X’s vision glitched out briefly again as Locust came closer, but she wasn’t alarmed this time, chittering in a way that resembled a laugh. She “laughed” again as she felt the children sit on her, reaching up to pet one of the ones on her head before signing.

“You and your children are very kind. Nicer than the other angels in Hell. Virtues and providences are not kind to machines.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Virtues. Providences. Quick to act. Yet. Eyes clouded by. Their orders. They do not see beyond."

Locust kneels down to V-X. They tilt their head before smiling just a little subtly with their eyes at their children on her.

"Children. Only know kindness. I teach them. Kindness and sympathy. Angels need. Those aspects."

"machine nice!"

"can keep her?"

Locust briefly becomes flustered by what their kid's said.

"ah..."

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, looking up at Locust. Their systems started alarming, alerting them to look away, but…why would they do that? It’s not like any harm would come to them. They weren’t afraid.

“Taught them well.”

She chittered as she heard what the children had said, finding it incredibly amusing. They were so similar to human children, just…looking differently. She couldn’t help but think fondly of them.

“I can stay. No rush to go.”

[weirdcoreangel]

"yay! Machine stay!"

"machine mom?"

"it mom!"

"it mom!"

The little ones start a small chorus of "it mom" over and over...

"children, please--"

[prototype-vx]

V-X kept “laughing”, watching the children fly around them.

“It is ok. Let them have fun.”

Their optic closed for a moment, as if they were smiling, before opening again.

[weirdcoreangel]

The little ones flutter around and swarm V-X again, chirping happily.

"it mom!"

"it mom!"

"we got. Mom and dad!"

"it mom and dad!"

Locust does calm down at V-X's reaction, though they still seem rather flustered.

[weirdcoreangel]

V-X was wandering through Fraud as per usual, practically skipping as they made their way from room to room, killing every enemy in their path. Eventually the found themself in what seemed to be a new hallway, leading up to…a new room?

Now this was exciting!! They chirped, speeding up as they started to explore.

( @prototype-vx )

"it machine!"

"hello machine!"

"friend?"

"it friend?"

Four little angels suddenly swarm V-X. Fluttering around her in circles before stopping in front of them. They chirp like happy chicklets in a barn!

[prototype-vx]

V-X was startled, a loud high pitch beep coming from her as she tripped and fell. Once she was more aware of her surroundings she looked around at the strange angels surrounding her, tilting her head to the side. This was new, new was exciting! Hell was treating her well today.

“Not hostile.”

She signed, hoping the mystery angels understood sign.

“So maybe friend?”

[weirdcoreangel]

The four angels immediately flutter down to land on V-X's chest. Chirping and chirping. The little ones have much to say!

"it friend!"

"friend!"

"friend okay?"

"friend fell!"

The children purr and chirp.

[prototype-vx]

V-X started chittering happily, nodding and propping themself up before signing again.

“Friend ok. Just was startled.”

They chittered again, similar to a laugh. As blunt as their sign was, it was clear they were happy. These angels seemed similar to their logs of human children, so perhaps they were children as well?

“Young angels, do you have names?”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels shift to be settled and curled up on V-X's lap. Snuggling together like a bundle of feathers while chirping.

[prototype-vx]

[weirdcoreangel]

VB liked Fraud.

It was no secret, it liked the Deathcatchers, it liked the constantly changing and shifting hallways, it found everything incredibly interesting in a layer that usually caused machines to turn tail and run away.

They were wandering, skating along at high speeds, not really looking for anything in particular, just seeing how Hell changed around them, bouncing off the walls practically with their speed.

She was coasting… pretty low on fuel, around 10%, but it’d probably be fine.

- @fromthe-very-beginning

Rather suddenly, four small angels seem to appear from no where. The angels are simple looking, one set of wings and one eye at the center for each.

"machine!"

"it friend?"

"it hungry?"

"blood! Need blood!"

The small angels swarm VB. Fluttering around them to inspect and look them over before fluttering away.

Eventually, returning with a filth they're struggling to drag over.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB perked up, skidding to a stop immediately when the angels swarmed around them. They looked around curiously, lenses clicking out to try and attempt a scan, but they were fluttering around too quickly to get a proper scan. Their lenses readjusted loudly as they looked around at the small angels.

[HELLO– WHO ARE YOU? I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF YOU, YOU ARE NOT IN MY DATABASE.]

She chirped a few times, skating after the swarm but stopping short at the sight of the filth. She squirmed a little, clicking the wheels of her skates in and out a few times.

[I DO NOT NEED ANY FUEL– THANK YOU THOUGH!!!! I AM FINE WHERE I AM.]

Since refuelling up to 70% with V-X, he had felt... a bit nervous about refuelling. The higher he refuelled, the more antsy and... doomed he felt. Coasting on.... whatever number he was on, was probably better.

[YOU ARE ALL SWEETHEARTS.]

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels flutter around before slowing down in front of VB. To better address them.

"what machine doing in fraud?"

"very dangerous layer!"

"is machine okay?"

"we get dad if machine need help!"

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB tried to use the time of them all slowing down to get an accurate scan of one of them, dual lenses clicking out and readjusting loudly. She managed to get one, albeit a bit shaky, and moved to the next angel, though it was quite difficult to tell the difference.

[I LIKE FRAUD!!!! IT IS INTERESTING. HELL IS INTERESTING.]

They skated up to a door, and opened it into a fleshy room like Gluttony’s halls, gesturing inside.

[LIKE THIS– FASCINATING! I AM TRYING TO CATALOGUE AS MUCH AS I CAN INTO MY DATABASE.]

He skated closer at the mention of a father figure to the baby angels, making a few curious chirping sounds as he glided around, moving as much as they were.

[WHO IS YOUR FATHER?]

[weirdcoreangel]

The four baby angels follow VB closely, fluttering around happily. Untill--

"it dad!" One said happily. The rest joining in a chorus of "it dad! It dad!". The four were looking out to the side within the fleshy interior where a tall figure stood.

A tall, imposing, terrifying looking angel. That... Likely is lagging the shit out of VB at best.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

Yeah, at best.

VB’s lenses immediately started clicking, trying to lower its render distance, level, anything as she watched her fuel drain to almost nothing in moments, her systems trying to keep her moving and functioning in the face of–

of–

FUEL LEVEL: 1%

SHUTDOWN IMMENENT

VB took a few stumbling steps forward, lenses clicking out in an attempt to scan the angel, before collapsing entirely, optic and wings going dark.

[weirdcoreangel]

...

Blood enters VB's systems again. The strange, terrifying angel didn't hesitate to slaughter a few husks to save this poor machine.

God, they felt awful for making VB shutdown. It hates so much how it makes machines and mortals sick and dying just at eyesight.

"children, please. Watch them."

"dad sad..."

The angel wraps their wings around their own body. Hiding their body fully and hopefully being more comprehendable.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

…

REBOOTING…

…

FUEL LEVEL: 10%

RUN DIAGNOSTICS: Y/N

…N

VB tentatively allowed their optic to come back online, staring at the ceiling of Fraud as their lenses readjusted. Before moving, they lowered their graphics as low as possible, looking around for the angel that had caused their shutdown.

Their optic loudly refocused a few times, but they stood up, skating quickly to the angels side as their lenses clicked out for an attempt at a scan.

[HELLO!!!! WHO ARE YOU?]

She didn’t seem too torn up about the shutdown, even though if she hadn’t been saved… that would have been it for her.

Her scanner glitched out, unsuccessful at a scan, and her lenses clicked back into place once more, tentatively turning her graphics up one by one to see when they started to fail out, wanting to see as much as possible.

[weirdcoreangel]

"... Seraphim. Locust. Hello machine."

Locust uncovers themself slowly, cautiously.

"it dad!"

One of the children say again. This is their father...

"I am. Very sorry you. Got hurt."

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB skated around Locust, trying to see everything about them that she could. She stopped turning up her graphics when it was just a little glitchy around the edges, but she still had a decent view of Locust, skating back around to their front.

[NO WORRIES, NOT HURT– HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTER AN ANGEL THAT HAS DRAINED MY FUEL LIKE THAT BEFORE. 10% IN SECONDS WITH NO PHYSICAL INJURY IS IMPRESSIVE!!!]

He looked at the small children, skating loops around them a few times too.

[THESE ARE YOUR CHILDREN? I CAN SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.]

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust nods,

"my children. Yes. I made them myself..."

Their children don't have another parent, they are life personally crafted by the supreme Seraphim.

"still, I apologize. It is not my intention to harm. I simply. Have that passive effect on machines and. Mortal beings. I do not mean it."

"dad is too strong. Can't make human form."

"but dad still nice!"

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB chirped a few times, skidding to a stop but still fidgeting as she stood.

[YOUR CHILDREN ARE VERY SWEET. TRIED TO HAVE ME REFUEL BEFORE I. WENT INTO SHUTDOWN MODE.]

VB was honestly very curious in Locust, optic fully open and widened to take in as much data as possible. They were so incredibly interesting, VB could sit and try to scan them all day.

[I AM NOT UPSET, IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS. WORTH IT TO GAZE UPON SOMEONE AS INTERESTING AS YOURSELF.]

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust tilts their head, blinking.

"I am. Interesting. To you?"

That idea is very foreign to them, and... They're quickly a little flustered by that idea. Though mostly because they've .. never been complimented like that?

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB trilled, skating closer to Locust and adjusting their lenses once more, wings twitching slightly.

[YES– NEVER MET AN ANGEL LIKE YOU BEFORE. YOU ARE INCREDIBLY INTERESTING!!!]

VB tried to up her graphics a little further, wanting to see Locust as best as possible, even if–

FUEL LEVEL: 7%

It was a massive drain on her fuel. She couldn’t take pictures, or scan them, so she only had her video memories, which she was sure would be glitched out.

[weirdcoreangel]

"please be . Careful. You are weak. You. Need more fuel. Friend."

Locust looks around, unsure.

The children swarm VB, landing on different parts of her to perch. Like little birds.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB took the opportunity to get more accurate scans of the children, now that they were staying still, able to register them all in his database properly. He looked back over at Locust with a slight shrug, careful to not jostle the children.

[I AM OKAY– 7% IS A LITTLE LOW BUT NOT TERRIBLE, I CAN FIND A DEATHCATCHER TO GET UP TO 30%]

She didn’t really want to go though, she wanted to keep talking to Locust, clicking her skates on to skate a little closer to them.

[WANT TO COME? BRING THE KIDS?]

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust nods slowly, walking with VB. The kids all stay on the machine, chirping every once in a while.

"deathcatcher? What it do?" "Deathcatcher sound scary..." A few little ones pipe up. The others peep in worry.

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Angels naturally aren't the most human looking, their true forms can be quite incomprehensible to the human eye.

So a seraphim that looks like... That... Is probably normal? Still is probably scary to many. That tall, quiet, imposing figure standing near Gabriel.

Four small angels flutter near them, being just a pair of wings and an eye each. Such cute little things, must be children.

{ @weirdcoreangel }

*Gabriel sees the children first, the little eyes with wings catching his attention as something one does not usually see in hell*

*He senses the other angelic presence soon after that, it’s powerful, a seraphim maybe?*

*He turns around a bit and is met with indeed a seraphim, one who is using their true form. Rare to see but it does not scare him in the slightest*

Greetings seraphim, to what do I owe this visit?

…are these children yours?

[weirdcoreangel]

"archangel Gabriel. Wished to visit. You have not returned. To heaven. In a long time."

The seraphim said, tilting their head. They sounded a bit worried for Gabriel.

"yes. These young cherubim. Are my dear. Children."

The four children flutter over to Gabriel, chirping and chirping at him.

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Ah right….heaven.

*He started to get the urge to squirm at the mention of his former home, yes of course he missed it but…*

I was actually…banished from heaven. If I try and get into heaven through other means, some citizens of heaven tend to try and attack me.

I would love to go back but it’s just not safe for me ever since I did away with the council…

*he turns his attention towards the children, small, fluttering, and chirping at him. He responds to them with chirps of his own, holding out a hand for one to them to land*

They’re beautiful, I’ve always had a soft spot for children

Tell me seraphim, what is your name?

[weirdcoreangel]

"cruel. Judgment. I will fix. That."

With how powerful seraphim are, the highest rank of angel in heaven, it's possible they actually could do something. They have authority and respect. The closet angels to God....

"Locust."

All four of the little angels land on Gabriel's arm. On on his hand and the rest perching up his arm. They're all chirping so sweetly.

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

I…you can fix that??

It would be lovely go be able to go back…even if just for a little bit. I wouldn’t dare reside there again, I’d be leaving to much behind here but to just got back to visit and see everything would be…incredible

*He dips his head a bit and flairs his wings as a thanks and a show of respect*

It is very nice to meet you Locust, both you and your children

*He takes his free hand and removes his helmet, letting it fall near his feet for the time being. He keeps chirping at the children, such sweet creatures*

[weirdcoreangel]

"I can try. And influence. You do not deserve. Banishment."

Locust said, looking at how their children happily chirp back at Gabriel. It's a sweet sight...

It's like hearing a group of chicks. Just chirping and chirping.

[weirdcoreangel]

V-X was wandering through Fraud as per usual, practically skipping as they made their way from room to room, killing every enemy in their path. Eventually the found themself in what seemed to be a new hallway, leading up to…a new room?

Now this was exciting!! They chirped, speeding up as they started to explore.

( @prototype-vx )

"it machine!"

"hello machine!"

"friend?"

"it friend?"

Four little angels suddenly swarm V-X. Fluttering around her in circles before stopping in front of them. They chirp like happy chicklets in a barn!

[prototype-vx]

V-X was startled, a loud high pitch beep coming from her as she tripped and fell. Once she was more aware of her surroundings she looked around at the strange angels surrounding her, tilting her head to the side. This was new, new was exciting! Hell was treating her well today.

“Not hostile.”

She signed, hoping the mystery angels understood sign.

“So maybe friend?”

[weirdcoreangel]

The four angels immediately flutter down to land on V-X's chest. Chirping and chirping. The little ones have much to say!

"it friend!"

"friend!"

"friend okay?"

"friend fell!"

The children purr and chirp.

[prototype-vx]

V-X started chittering happily, nodding and propping themself up before signing again.

“Friend ok. Just was startled.”

They chittered again, similar to a laugh. As blunt as their sign was, it was clear they were happy. These angels seemed similar to their logs of human children, so perhaps they were children as well?

“Young angels, do you have names?”

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels shift to be settled and curled up on V-X's lap. Snuggling together like a bundle of feathers while chirping.

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded, hesitating at first before gently petting the angel she presumed to be Flores (it was hard to tell as they were identical). She did this for a few moments before signing.

“Are you alone? Or do you have a parent close? Want to make sure you all are safe.”

They were children, so she couldn’t help but be at least a little concerned, even if it wasn’t usual for her to feel such a way.

[weirdcoreangel]

"dad near."

Flores said, chirping as they were pet. It was like the four babies were trying to huddle together and nest on V-Xs lap.

"it dad!" Another little one chimes in, when a tall, rather scary looking (or hot looking if you're into that) angel could be seen in the corner of the room. Having appeared rather suddenly.

All of the angels begin chirping happily at the imposing Seraphim.

[prototype-vx]

V-X looked up, and then saw the aforementioned father.

Immediately error messages started popping up at a rapid speed, their vision completely eroding within a matter of seconds. They screeched and fell back again, their body tweaking out a bit before going completely still.

Luckily their tank was full so only minimal damage was done there, and after a few minutes of full shutdown, V-X awoke, sitting back up and hitting the side of their head like one would hit a broken TV. They eventually were able to look back up, albeit their vision was severely corrupted. Oops.

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust immediately covers themself with their wings in attempt to not cause more damage.

"my. Apologies. Machine."

The children immediately swarm V-X again.

"friend okay?!" "Friend hurt!" "Dad strong. He not mean it!" "Friend hurt!"

[prototype-vx]

V-X turned down her graphics settings before nodding, sitting back up before signing.

“No apologies needed. My systems are old. I am not hurt, I promise.”

This was true. Being an old forgotten prototype had a lot of downsides.

“Have never met a proper angel before. Besides virtues or providences. You are different. Unique. Fascinating.”

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust tilts their head.

"I am. A. Seraphim. My children. Cherubim."

The children all begin chirping and fluttering around happily.

[weirdcoreangel]

VB liked Fraud.

It was no secret, it liked the Deathcatchers, it liked the constantly changing and shifting hallways, it found everything incredibly interesting in a layer that usually caused machines to turn tail and run away.

They were wandering, skating along at high speeds, not really looking for anything in particular, just seeing how Hell changed around them, bouncing off the walls practically with their speed.

She was coasting… pretty low on fuel, around 10%, but it’d probably be fine.

- @fromthe-very-beginning

Rather suddenly, four small angels seem to appear from no where. The angels are simple looking, one set of wings and one eye at the center for each.

"machine!"

"it friend?"

"it hungry?"

"blood! Need blood!"

The small angels swarm VB. Fluttering around them to inspect and look them over before fluttering away.

Eventually, returning with a filth they're struggling to drag over.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB perked up, skidding to a stop immediately when the angels swarmed around them. They looked around curiously, lenses clicking out to try and attempt a scan, but they were fluttering around too quickly to get a proper scan. Their lenses readjusted loudly as they looked around at the small angels.

[HELLO– WHO ARE YOU? I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF YOU, YOU ARE NOT IN MY DATABASE.]

She chirped a few times, skating after the swarm but stopping short at the sight of the filth. She squirmed a little, clicking the wheels of her skates in and out a few times.

[I DO NOT NEED ANY FUEL– THANK YOU THOUGH!!!! I AM FINE WHERE I AM.]

Since refuelling up to 70% with V-X, he had felt... a bit nervous about refuelling. The higher he refuelled, the more antsy and... doomed he felt. Coasting on.... whatever number he was on, was probably better.

[YOU ARE ALL SWEETHEARTS.]

[weirdcoreangel]

"Torne!"

"Flores!"

"Verne!"

"Xene!"

The little angels flutter around before slowing down in front of VB. To better address them.

"what machine doing in fraud?"

"very dangerous layer!"

"is machine okay?"

"we get dad if machine need help!"

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB tried to use the time of them all slowing down to get an accurate scan of one of them, dual lenses clicking out and readjusting loudly. She managed to get one, albeit a bit shaky, and moved to the next angel, though it was quite difficult to tell the difference.

[I LIKE FRAUD!!!! IT IS INTERESTING. HELL IS INTERESTING.]

They skated up to a door, and opened it into a fleshy room like Gluttony’s halls, gesturing inside.

[LIKE THIS– FASCINATING! I AM TRYING TO CATALOGUE AS MUCH AS I CAN INTO MY DATABASE.]

He skated closer at the mention of a father figure to the baby angels, making a few curious chirping sounds as he glided around, moving as much as they were.

[WHO IS YOUR FATHER?]

[weirdcoreangel]

The four baby angels follow VB closely, fluttering around happily. Untill--

"it dad!" One said happily. The rest joining in a chorus of "it dad! It dad!". The four were looking out to the side within the fleshy interior where a tall figure stood.

A tall, imposing, terrifying looking angel. That... Likely is lagging the shit out of VB at best.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

Yeah, at best.

VB’s lenses immediately started clicking, trying to lower its render distance, level, anything as she watched her fuel drain to almost nothing in moments, her systems trying to keep her moving and functioning in the face of–

of–

FUEL LEVEL: 1%

SHUTDOWN IMMENENT

VB took a few stumbling steps forward, lenses clicking out in an attempt to scan the angel, before collapsing entirely, optic and wings going dark.

[weirdcoreangel]

...

Blood enters VB's systems again. The strange, terrifying angel didn't hesitate to slaughter a few husks to save this poor machine.

God, they felt awful for making VB shutdown. It hates so much how it makes machines and mortals sick and dying just at eyesight.

"children, please. Watch them."

"dad sad..."

The angel wraps their wings around their own body. Hiding their body fully and hopefully being more comprehendable.

[fromthe-very-beginning]

…

REBOOTING…

…

FUEL LEVEL: 10%

RUN DIAGNOSTICS: Y/N

…N

VB tentatively allowed their optic to come back online, staring at the ceiling of Fraud as their lenses readjusted. Before moving, they lowered their graphics as low as possible, looking around for the angel that had caused their shutdown.

Their optic loudly refocused a few times, but they stood up, skating quickly to the angels side as their lenses clicked out for an attempt at a scan.

[HELLO!!!! WHO ARE YOU?]

She didn’t seem too torn up about the shutdown, even though if she hadn’t been saved… that would have been it for her.

Her scanner glitched out, unsuccessful at a scan, and her lenses clicked back into place once more, tentatively turning her graphics up one by one to see when they started to fail out, wanting to see as much as possible.

[weirdcoreangel]

"... Seraphim. Locust. Hello machine."

Locust uncovers themself slowly, cautiously.

"it dad!"

One of the children say again. This is their father...

"I am. Very sorry you. Got hurt."

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB skated around Locust, trying to see everything about them that she could. She stopped turning up her graphics when it was just a little glitchy around the edges, but she still had a decent view of Locust, skating back around to their front.

[NO WORRIES, NOT HURT– HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTER AN ANGEL THAT HAS DRAINED MY FUEL LIKE THAT BEFORE. 10% IN SECONDS WITH NO PHYSICAL INJURY IS IMPRESSIVE!!!]

He looked at the small children, skating loops around them a few times too.

[THESE ARE YOUR CHILDREN? I CAN SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.]

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust nods,

"my children. Yes. I made them myself..."

Their children don't have another parent, they are life personally crafted by the supreme Seraphim.

"still, I apologize. It is not my intention to harm. I simply. Have that passive effect on machines and. Mortal beings. I do not mean it."

"dad is too strong. Can't make human form."

"but dad still nice!"

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB chirped a few times, skidding to a stop but still fidgeting as she stood.

[YOUR CHILDREN ARE VERY SWEET. TRIED TO HAVE ME REFUEL BEFORE I. WENT INTO SHUTDOWN MODE.]

VB was honestly very curious in Locust, optic fully open and widened to take in as much data as possible. They were so incredibly interesting, VB could sit and try to scan them all day.

[I AM NOT UPSET, IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS. WORTH IT TO GAZE UPON SOMEONE AS INTERESTING AS YOURSELF.]

[weirdcoreangel]

Locust tilts their head, blinking.

"I am. Interesting. To you?"

That idea is very foreign to them, and... They're quickly a little flustered by that idea. Though mostly because they've .. never been complimented like that?

[fromthe-very-beginning]

VB trilled, skating closer to Locust and adjusting their lenses once more, wings twitching slightly.

[YES– NEVER MET AN ANGEL LIKE YOU BEFORE. YOU ARE INCREDIBLY INTERESTING!!!]

VB tried to up her graphics a little further, wanting to see Locust as best as possible, even if–

FUEL LEVEL: 7%

It was a massive drain on her fuel. She couldn’t take pictures, or scan them, so she only had her video memories, which she was sure would be glitched out.

[weirdcoreangel]

"please be . Careful. You are weak. You. Need more fuel. Friend."

Locust looks around, unsure.

The children swarm VB, landing on different parts of her to perch. Like little birds.

[weirdcoreangel]

/Passes a doodle of you and dissapears in thin air/

P.S:Angelic mama and their angelings

"so sweet of you. mortal. I hope. One day. I can be more. Easily perceived."

"it dad!" "It us!" "It dad!" "It dad!"

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Angels naturally aren't the most human looking, their true forms can be quite incomprehensible to the human eye.

So a seraphim that looks like... That... Is probably normal? Still is probably scary to many. That tall, quiet, imposing figure standing near Gabriel.

Four small angels flutter near them, being just a pair of wings and an eye each. Such cute little things, must be children.

{ @weirdcoreangel }

*Gabriel sees the children first, the little eyes with wings catching his attention as something one does not usually see in hell*
