Look hear me out

"I'm just asking how you are. Don't worry."

He leans against the table to look at what she's doing. Exhaustion is etched into each line of his face and body. One of his eyes is the familiar orange taken from the family line of the Bloodhound's. The other is the golden gleam of dawn.

His form is mostly the same, however, for her and for the people that need him.

"Food needs the right combination of memoria to nourish me. It's not quite the same as for... humans."

“What’s cookin’ good lookin?”

❝ Nothing, right now ❞

She glances over at him with a small, worried frown. ❝ Are you hungry? I can make something. ❞

In the aftermath of the Choir, the Dream wasn't as safe as it once was. Shadows were deeper, pathways that shouldn't have existed threaded out of the memoria ocean, seeking purchase between the different planes in a spiderweb of instability.

The Hound had read about the Fragmentum, had parsed through what available databanks he could to understand the Trailblaze and the worlds they'd traversed. In the aftermath of the Stellaron that had been corrupting and devouring the Dreamers for so long, it felt very much like that, seeping between the cracks, ready to let the Legion pour through like an infection.

It suited The Hound fine. He could be a cure. A concept. An antibody.

His paws whispered over the cracked cobbles of the alley. A half formed dream had spliced pieces of the Golden Hour and Dreamflux together. Gilded walls blended with aged brick and spray paint, water dripping from unseen pipes over head, golden lights threaded and hanging from the walls, their muted glow dirty, like shining through oil and dust.

Up ahead, something walked.

At first glance, it was a human. She was dressed in a glittering, sequined dress, and staggering like she'd drank more than her share of SoulGlad. Her long hair dragged at the ground, through the puddles. Her heels clicked, one broken, shorter than the other. Her skin was flawless, shone healthily. Her height seemed normal.

The rest of her was not. Seven fingers on her left hand, four on her right. One of her arms stretched several inches too long, her shoulder blades were too sharp, and her muscles bunched in the wrong places. An imitation born of observation, of imputed memory spat out by an imperfect creator.

If she spent some time regaining her balance, composed, it would be hard to spot initially, easy to walk past. At which point, she'd strike.

The Hound bared his teeth, hackles raising. The chains at his paws and throat clinked.

She heard him that time and turned. Her eyes were normal enough. But she had three rows of teeth as her lips parted.

The Hound snarled, lunging forward as the markings on his body flared pink, revealing him in the shadows. Her body broke underneath of his teeth, crumpling away into silver as he tore the too-long arm from her body.

Another dead, unable to hurt the remaining Dreamers.

Maybe it wasn't the hell he'd prayed for, but it was something he could accept.

He bit into her head, twin tails bristling behind him, and heard the step of another heel on the cobbles a moment too late.

//The Amber Era vs Trailblaze years thing is really foggy, but it seems that an Amber Era is between 74-240 years, and a Trailblaze Year is one of ours, so by that estimation, if Gallagher was born at the end of the rebellion as a thoughtform of Mikhail's, man is anywhere between 666 and 2,160.

Kinda like the first one, ngl. LMAO.

Also I could have my math really wrong but like. I kinda dig the difference in measurements. Also my heart hurts that Gallagher could be like 2000 years old and just. So tired.

Also it makes me wonder how aging works with Penacony. With the proximity to the memoria, does it act sort of like a black hole? Is time bent there, so time passes differently? Maybe people age slower?

//theory that Gallagher works in pieces of the Trailblaze into his looks as well. Like he got Tiernan's hair (I know I know, 'Your hair, soft and curly, like Benny's' but what if that's a good coincidence?), and there's blue for Mikhai...

*Takes a hit of copium,* when he comes back, what if one of his eyes is golden like the Trailblazer? He finds he has a predilection for coffee, some arrow jewelry for March, some familiar clips for Welt?

//I just don't understand why there's no food for Gallabin. Her voice lines about him are so fucking sweet, they had weeks together in the Reef. Like the way she talks about him, it sounds like he's protected her before, and they've gotten to know each other as well as they could with Gallagher being alls neaky.

Sometimes love is a singer and her wolf meme private detective, okay?

C A S H :)

NSFW Alphabet Asks

C = Cum: (where does your muse prefer to cum/have someone cum)

W-e-e-ll, since there's zero risk with a Thoughtform or in the Dream, he tends to prefer to finish inside, but he also loves to see his partner get messy. Esp if it's an amab partner. He's a big fan of getting someone off in their clothes too.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

If it's a session where things got rough and his partner went into subspace, he's will guide them back from the lows, =use his abilities to pull their consciousness back to somewhere safe. And he'll mix up a good drink and some food for comfort. Otherwise, it's snuggles. The man is touch starved in the extreme.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

The beauty of the Dream, really, is it's whatever you desire. Gallagher can go for a long time and recover quickly, and guide a partner through the mental blocks that might signal to a body to rest. But in preference, he'll go for several rounds. He's never spent longer than a day in bed, and he's got things to do. People to be and places to see.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

He is not well groomed. He'll clean up if a partner wants things more trimmed, but he doesn't 'manscape' or anything like that.

Basics

NAME: Nav AGE: ... old. PRONOUNS: He/His/They YEARS OF WRITING: It started in 2002 probably and I never recovered. I've had some off and on moments, but it began picking up again a few years ago when I started getting back into the fandom-y swing of things.

Reflection

WHY DID YOU PICK UP WRITING? I had stupid little stories in my brain and wanted to tell them. I read my first fanfic in a fandom that will not be disclosed back in 2002, and have gone through my highs and lows. Decided I really wanted to be an author when I was fourteen. Still want to, and I'm working on my debut novel right now. DO YOU HAVE ANY WRITING ROUTINES? I like to say I want to write at least 200 words a day, but... uh. Well. I have ADHD and depression and that doesn't always work out. I write pretty well in the morning. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WRITING? Making people go AAAA. Discovering things that the characters do that I didn't ever expect or plan on. I really like that part. But the most rewarding thing will always be someone telling me I touched them in some way.

Three things you like about your writing

This is high key difficult for me, esp as an RPer who's a little rusty. But I'll try?

Prose: I think I'm a pretty dab hand at prose. I can be guilty of some repetition in the moment, especially when I'm excited and writing fast, but by and large I am very proud of the way I can set a scene or convey emotions. AU's: I think I come up with some pretty kickass AU's, or ways to adapt things. You should see what I came up with re:Gallagher when my brain was buzzing over the 2.1 ending. Since it all turned out to be completely incorrect, I'm shoving it into an original story. Atmosphere: I like to think I'm pretty good at building the atmosphere of a scene. IDK how good, I'd have to ask around, but I like to think I can make things spooky or light and toggle the mood to suit the situation. Admittedly, this may mostly go to my original writing.

A question for the next person

Do you have a certain type of muse you enjoy writing? (no one saw me forgot to answer and leave the old one) I apparently constantly pick up disaster bisexuals with private detective vibes. Like if they are a Hot Mess I'm probably going to gravitate to them. It keeps happening. It never stops. A lot of heart of gold types. What is a muse you no longer write anymore and why have they been retried? Oobleck from RWBY. For those who don't know him, AUDHD mad professor, studies history, kicks ass, and tragically vanished from the storyline about five years ago and I've yet to cope. New Question: What's a character type you could not play ever?
