I want to enjoy life. Here and now. It doesn’t matter what happens next.

Life is too short, and if we’re both drawn to each other, then why stop?

There are no words to describe how i feel every time I’m with you.

I never regretted that I followed you.

You’re the one who could easily drive me crazy.

Thank you, _______, for the best evening of my life.

I’ll remember it for a very long time.

For now, this should stay between us. OK?

Why are you so absentminded? 

I’m one step away from going crazy!

Perhaps I can help you, but we’ll have to work together. Are you up for the challenge?

I’ll owe you one if you help me correct this.

I thought I wouldn’t find anything!

Since I helped you so much, would you mind walking with me a bit more?

You and I are partners, and we know almost nothing about each other.

That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you.

You’re doomed to fail.

Are you asserting yourself at her/his expense? 

There are boundaries you shouldn’t cross, _______. 

Find the courage to leave her/him alone and focus on yourself.

If only you knew how much effort it cost me. 

I’m going to tell you anything on the way, but first, I need to do something.

I’m scared already. 

Oh, I thought you’d never ask. 

Does (s)he know we are here?

I ran after you, so you wouldn’t be alone. And you won’t tell me what happened…

It’s so scary to say it, but I really feel that way…

I’m ashamed to tell you. My words might hurt you and I don’t want that. 

I don’t want you to spend your day in tears.

What did you expect, _______? That (s)he would jump into your arms?

Seeing you here, looking into your eyes, I understand that work has been tough on you.

Do you see the price of your behavior and recklessness? 

Everyone ends up turning away from you, and you’re left alone. 

What difference does it make?!

Are you going to avoid me now?

I sincerely want to believe you, _______. But I’ve been burned so many times that it’s hard me. Do you get it?

But I promise that nothing and no one will change my opinion and attitude towards you.

I don’t understand what you want from me.

What kind of game are you playing, huh?

Don’t you dare touch me, _______.

You know, you’re not worth it… You’re a nobody. 

I’m proud to have a partner like you. Apparently, as partners, we’re very lucky to have found each other. 

I’ll have to keep an eye out so that no one steals you away from me.

     THE CONCEPT OF LOVE in its entirety is - no pun intended - alien to kyris. hailing from a gender-neutral species that reproduces via an asexual process, romantic relationships are something of a complete and utter enigma to them as a result. of course, they’ve witnessed and understand the concept of procreation via a variety of fauna, but to them, this appears as nothing more than the standard fare for biological reproduction rather than anything more intimate.

     even the ‘love’ they feel towards their younger sprite siblings is moreso out of a parental desire to protect creatures who have no means of protecting themselves, rather than affection as a result of some kind of admirable quality or deed. indeed, there are even moments where kyris comes to resent and loathe their position as their caretaker if only for the countless sacrifices they must constantly make for their well-being, all the while never even having a say in their own fate lest they leave them to die at the hands of indigenous predators and other threats.

     needless to say that for kyris, genuine love is nothing more than a far-off, esoteric fantasy for the time being.

     you mean to tell me a group of heroes from across several worlds come together with one another... just to beat eachother senseless? for some sort of... sport? entertainment? what mindlessness! what brutality! who could ever enjoy such a thing?!

INTRUDER:

Much less can be said for those wishing her harm. The suit visor has a flashing warning in the corner of her vision, the chozodian tech aware that something was happening to it but unable to ascertain what exactly was the source or danger. Only that it must exist. She turns again, quick blurs of lime cutting the air as she remains wary of her surroundings.

So then did she notice the creeping plant life that set itself upon her. She clicks her tongue in frustration, burning lobs of energy breaking up piece after piece, yet all too soon even she found herself overrun. First it was her cannon arm, jerking the aim off of another that gripped her leg and held her down in place before she could jump away upon realizing the folly of her struggling. Whatever it was, she wasn’t going to beat it like this.

Samus’s mind is a wash of frustration and amusement. How damn ironic. She was here on a mission of curiosity after all. This wasn’t a galactic threat that may take her life should alternatives fail, but seeking answers to a people that were lost, perhaps like her own. That was when the voice rang in her mind and she grits her teeth beneath the helmet. Another grunt of struggle as she falls to a knee.

“You’re making an even bigger mistake now.” At least now she’s granted a view of whatever had accosted her, and also presumably what was trespassing in her head, even now. A strange creature vaguely humanoid in form, at least with the face and what could be considered hair. Her scan visor runs a diagnosis, looking for weaknesses or record- but given the flora had yielded little she wouldn’t hold her breath. For now she was thinking of how to escape if this creature didn’t intend to release her.

She had a few ideas, needless to say.

     WELL-AWARE IS HER ASSAILANT of the bounty hunter’s capabilities, and henceforth is no expense spared in the process of incapacitating such an apparent threat to the well-beings of both themselves and those far more vulnerable by comparison. their approach continues in gradual and gingerly fashion, the being determined to maintain at least some modicum of distance as from their mind emerged a most venomous accusation,

     i know exactly what your kind is like. they come, and claim their ‘noble’ intentions. they promise to have only the best interests in mind. but when their words prove hollow, they take whatever it is that they want, caring not for who or what gets in their way.

     all but disillusioned in their eyes, the presence of humanity is - to them, at least - a blemish on a world already sullied by their presence. still, no further threat is imposed upon samus beyond the vines entangling her suit, the likes of which kyris continues to maintain throughout what was now a conversation between the two minds. they address her once more, a bitter and cynical pair of inquiries bestowed unto their captive,

     so tell me, then... what is it that you have come for this time? what more could you possibly hope to take away?

     the scan in question serves only to muddle further the situation, as the resulting findings appear to have once existed, but have since been wiped entirely from every available record, leaving nothing but a dearth of information. at one point, humanity had indeed made contact with the threat she presently faced, yet someone - or something - had succeeded at obscuring that very history from her knowledge.

due to circumstances beyond my control i haven’t played dread yet (and may not for some time), but i’m still fairly cool abt spoiler-related stuff, so if you wanna gush at me about it, gush away.

i’m gonna try and get things at least semi-back in order here and see if i can start writing again in the process

intruder:

Fear? Samus remembers the last time she truly felt that emotion, but if this entity is insinuating they can look into her mind they’ll find out a few things about it. First, that it’s a place full of pain and steel will. Second, that they should stay the hell out of it. She doesn’t want anyone looking in there, least of all something she can’t even see. The hunter lowers her weapon, keeping her wits about her as she continues to scan for anything that looked suspicious. The area was full of places to hide, and many plants obscured many spectrums of vision.

“…and how do you expect me to show you that in a way that you believe? I won’t make any promises to something I can’t see and don’t know.” But, perhaps, something would cross her mind that would suffice should the other notice. A recollection of frightened animals on a doomed planet, aided and ushered by the armored warrior to safety and a way to escape before destruction takes them. For all her destructive capability, Samus had a fondness for peaceful fauna. Much less can be said for anything wishing her harm.

     INNUMERABLE SCENES AND VISIONS EMERGED as the fae trawled their adversary’s innermost workings, among them the aforementioned act of heroism. this... it went against a prior conception of what her kind - what humans - were capable of doing to their own. even so... matters as grievous as those they had witnessed firsthand could not so easily be set aside in the face of what was, to them, a mere exception to a most dreadful rule.

     for but a moment, the fluorescent vegetation that surrounded samus stirred in an unnatural fashion, and it was only several moments later that it suddenly sprang towards her in simultaneous fashion, moving - or rather, being moved by an external force - to wrap itself around her armored exterior and bind her in place. cutting it down would do little to stem the tide of entanglement, for when dismantled, more would simply emerge from the various nooks and cracks in the cave system to take its place.

     in due time, kyris finally chose to cast aside their place of hiding, hovering slightly towards the bounty hunter as two glowing eyes pierced effortlessly the shifting darkness between them. it was clear by their singular raised hand - consisting of not five, but rather three glossy, ivory tendrils - that they were the one responsible for manipulating the flora in such a restraining fashion. another thought of theirs rang forth, their tone of voice now swollen with both aggression and resentment,

     placing my trust in your ilk was the greatest mistake i ever made. i do not intend on repeating that folly.

???:

How often is it that a creature is eager to approach Samus without the intent to harm her? She wishes it was a larger number than it was. Needless to say, the hunter was ready and on alert with her cannon when the floating entity made itself known. Noisily. Curiously. If it were sentient she would consider it to be reckless. Rather than be irritated by this interruption to her exploring however, Samus is similarly curious. 

She’s had many types of encounters with local fauna on her myriad of journeys, and there’s a comparison one could make between these and another floating jellyfish. This however is lacking armor piercing fangs and a warning flash of her visor. That’s a good difference. And another thing is for sure-

They’re kinda cute.

When it taps a (noodley) appendage against her helmet she flinches back, if only slightly, from the surprise. When she realizes that she wasn’t in any danger the faintest of smiles tug at the corner of her lips. As if to return the favor and curiosity, so too does Samus lift her hand, reaching out a finger and giving an investigative ‘tap’ to the creature. For the time being, this little fella was spared a swift death from a plasma beam.

“Hi there.” She says, softly, mostly for herself than hoping to be ‘heard’ or understood. The hand lingers. Just how friendly is it?

     SOFT AND MALLEABLE is the texture of the creature’s skin as her armored digit connects with it; so soft, in fact, that it would hardly take that much more force to tear through it altogether. nonetheless, it emits a delighted chirp before suddenly swirling through the air around samus’s form. in doing so, its radiant aura starts to glow even brighter, and there’s a sensation of empowerment which soon washes over the bounty hunter. not only does the sprite’s essence begin to charge her suit, but it goes even further than that, managing to reach the human body which lies beneath it and mend whatever damage might be there as well. minor ailments - both physical and mental - find themselves undone by the process, and any lingering stress from the afflictions of prior engagements is subsequently allayed and soothed all the same. it is a beacon of rejuvenation which resonates from such a small, innocuous creature.

a bundle of fluff

hey so kyris being kind of internally fucked up over the fact that they’ve spent the entirety of their adult life caring for their younger siblings without ever actually knowing what it’s liked to be cared for in such a manner themselves and quietly lamenting over the fact that they likely never will

that is all

[xenopathy]

i really want to give kyris the ability to phase through physical matter solely for the concept of them guiding samus towards something that’s on the other side of a wall and them phasing through it without realizing she can’t do the same and her thinking the wall is just fake or something but instead just walking straight into it
