「 GET TO KNOW YOUR RP PARTNER! 」 ( repost, please don’t reblog )

「BASICS」

▐ NAME: Xav ▐ PRONOUNS: he/him, she/her or xey/xem ▐ SEXUALITY: women......... ▐ TAKEN OR SINGLE: single! ▐ FIVE FACTS:

I've been teaching myself Japanese since I was 15 years old and speak it at a conversational (though not fluent) level

I have a cat named Cinnamon who I love with my whole heart

I've been playing Splatoon since the second Splatfest to ever happen in North America, Roller Coasters vs. Water Slides, and since I'm still here I think it's safe to say the squids are never letting me go--

I own a Peppa Pig blanket because I won it at a con lmao

one time, I ordered pastries from a store in Japanese while in France. I don't speak French, and the women at the counter didn't speak English, but it turned out we still had a common language! (and this is why I'm very much pro learning whatever language you want. it usually comes in handy when you least expect it!)

「EXPERIENCE」

▐ HOW LONG (YEARS/MONTHS): a little over a decade I think? ▐ PLATFORMS USED: too many. I used to rp a lot on Skype back in the day, if that says anything ▐ BEST EXPERIENCE: honestly, being here in isola! I've always found tumblr a comfortable platform to write on, but a lot of the indie rp scenes on tumblr can be... I'll say odd and leave it at that dsfgdsgd. I really love the myriad of unexpected relationships that pop up in mfrp, and I've enjoyed being part of this community a lot!

「MUSE PREFERENCES」

▐ MALE/FEMALE/OTHER: female, but to be fair. I think that's just what happens when two of your biggest fandoms are Touhou and Splatoon lol ▐ FAVORITE FACECLAIM: you may have noticed from the way I didn't use an icon that I still don't have one. oops ▐ FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: hurt/comfort my beloved!!!! ▐ PLOTS OR MEMES: both! I have a lot of fun throwing memes at people, and it's even more fun when it gets to turn into a whole thread, but I also like sitting down to actually plot and plan something out. ▐ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I tend to end up making things longer than I meant to honestly ^^;; I try to keep it short, but I have a lot to say most of the time! ▐ BEST TIME TO WRITE: usually at night for me, but I'm pretty sporadic honestly ▐ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: to a degree! I find it hard to write characters who aren't at least a little like me, but they're plenty different from me, too.

anybody want to fight those shadow mimics with her? fair warning, there'll be a LOT of eel mimics to deal with!

but if so, like this for a starter! capping at 3, with castmates exempt.

"Some of y'all are real short, huh? No problem, no problem! Just try gettin' taller shoes. Y'know, like Shiver does."

There's nothing like a conversation about height to make her straighten her posture for once, if only for the amusement of taking an easy jab at her friend!

"Yeah, but just 'cause they've got reasons doesn't mean they're GOOD reasons."

That wasn't always the case, and Frye had enough self-awareness despite the quick retort to admit that. Her frequent disregard for rules had gotten her into trouble more than a few times throughout her life; one look at the myriad of bumps and scrapes she usually possessed at any given moment was more than enough to see that. Not to mention how many times her friends had chastised her on this matter, just to be extra sure that she got the message!

But even so, caution simply didn't come naturally to her, no matter how many times this shortcoming was pointed out. She could understand it in theory, but in practice... well, why would she ever stop too long to think about the rules when so many of them were pointless and restricting? Especially when fearlessly blazing the path ahead was almost always the much more exciting and entertaining option anyways!

Besides, the boost to her reputation was always nice, too. And what kind of bandit would she be if she couldn't make a name for herself and have fun doing it?

At the offer, her face lit up into a full-on grin, casting a glance at the towers above. The beginnings of a challenge burned in her eyes as she tilted her head quizzically, alongside a light bubble of laughter spilling past her lips.

"Wait, d'ya think it's my first time up there? Here, lemme do you one better: race ya!"

@moraypower

"I'm not a fan of rules myself," They say with a chuckle. "BUT, rules are set for a reason." They don't think they have to tell this person that though. "Not that I abide by them for the most part." Indigo playfully winks and flips their braided hair over their shoulder.

"Wanna see what they do up there?" They don't really have to sneak into the top floors of the Fibonacci's tall ass skyscraper.

The sharp teeth of her eels were never anything to sneeze at, even if this was hardly the first time she'd found herself on the receiving end of such a bite, nor was it anywhere close to being the worst blow she'd ever taken. Even so, Frye still grit her beak with an annoyed wince as she rolled her newly injured shoulder back, ears drooping low with a small hiss at the jolt of sharp, stabbing pain moving the area caused.

"Yeah, but they didn't gotta be so rough 'bout it!"

It was a half-hearted, flippant complaint, sticking her tongue out at the still smug eel as the bristling fur of her tail slowly flattened back down. Uncharacteristic exhaustion and irritability brought with it or not, it wasn't enough to prevent her from cracking a sheepish grin at all of her companions in the cave for long, no matter how much the bitter, numbing cold (and discomfort with being stuck here, now that she was awake enough to process that fact) were gnawing at her.

Lightly patting the troublesome eel on it's snout as Yuri settled down beside her, she finally shifted her gaze his way, stretching her good arm back with a yawn and wiggling half-frozen fingers over the icy stone in an attempt to shake the pins and needles gathering in her limbs alongside the warmth of the fire off.

"A nap does sound pretty good..."

Her head was already listing back to one side alongside the admission, voice drifting into a semi-quiet mumble (which was about as close to quiet as she ever got); thankfully, it was onto Yuri's shoulder that she tilted this time, rather than towards the open flame.

He wouldn't mind if she just stayed like this for a little while, right? Hopefully not, because between his warmth and that of the fire, there was no chance of her or the eels moving anytime soon while she recharged her energy.

not paying a single shred of attention, is she? fair enough; he was only chiding her to fill the air, anyway. she should rest.

WHOA! definitely not like that, though--!!

"frye, you-- watch it!"

but her eel beats him to the punch (quite violently, might he add, but it does the trick); yuri's frozen mid-reach, ears and tail poking straight up. he and repede look at one another -- the dog in a similarly shocked state -- then turn back to frye simultaneously, the inkling at full, crabby attention.

welp, now that he can relax... he releases a short huff -- deceptively put out -- and closes the distance to hunker down beside her, legs crossed. "cut the eel some slack, it did save you from getting roasted, y'know. don't go pushing yourself," a chomp like that could've woken the dead, but it's too soon for her to start bouncing around.

a nudge, "get some shuteye if you need it, not like there's much else to do now with the blizzard outside." and with him sitting here, he can personally stop her namesake from turning literal. no biting needed.

THE SUN

You have a natural vibrance that draws people in. How could you not? You’re positive and optimistic, enthusiastic and warm, energetic and fun. You can be a bit arrogant and have a hard time dealing with more serious situations, but there’s no denying you can make people happy.

Triangular eyebrows quirked straight up at the sound of his daring approach, grin unfolding wider and wider across Frye's face with every word.

"Hah! You've got some real heat to you, huh?"

It was the first thought to pop to mind, slipping out of her with a loud, accompanying laugh. Between the idea of his little twist and every bouncy, eager movement that he made, her interest was absolutely piqued; no one would run up to a stranger with a challenge like that without a lot of guts behind it, and the hope of fiery competition was what had driven her over here in the first place. One way or another, she had to see what this guy was made of for herself now, and her ink was already racing wild with hot-blooded anticipation at the mere thought!

One hand curling into a swift fist, his outstretched palm was met with a quick bump, flourishing the acceptance of his offer with a greeting in her own style instead of the anticipated handshake as her fangs peeked from the corners of her mouth.

"You're ON. You look pretty tough, but don't think me and the eels are gonna slow down any if you can't keep up for real!"

"yo!" comes an energetic greeting before he's leaning himself in unceremoniously, a grin stretched across his face. he couldn't help himself, or the sounds his ears picked up and honed in on. a muttering of competition, a desire for a challenge -- of course he was going to invite himself over.

"might be jumpin' the gun, but you're interested in a lil' competition, aye?"

"how 'bout formin' a team with me?" a finger had risen to point at himself, tail swaying eagerly behind him. one might even argue it was wagging with what little control he had over the damned thing.

"can work on keepin' each other afloat," the pointed finger moves, left to sit beside him; as if pointing at the very thought running through his mind. "but why not add a lil' twist to it? score ourselves on how many each of us can take down!"

he's rather proud of the idea, truthfully. ears give a confident bounce as he straightens himself up, eventually holding out a hand to shake should she feel up to the offer.

Fireworks erupted overtop the city's centre where the giant hole usually could be found. Except now it was filled with a huge stadium! When had that happened!? As was often tradition in Spirale, plenty early risers would have their beauty sleep disturbed by the blaring of an announcement over the electronic devices in their possession.

"That's right, Jonathan! This is an exciting year for the Spirale Games! Well it's the first year, but that's what makes it so exciting!" Anything with a screen would have displayed video of Ofiuco's android body sitting at a sportscasting desk. But there was no one else present so who was she talking to? "We have a number of exciting events for teams to sign up for and we can't wait to see you out there!"

Of course the implication was that if they didn't see them out there then those who didn't participate wouldn't be reaping any of the rewards!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to our April / May event, the Spiral Games! As you can imagine we've taken inspiration from major sporting events, but this is closer to a celebration of many different skills and only some of the events are based on athleticism! You can find a full list of the events here so that this post isn't too cluttered!

So how is everything going to work?

Characters can participate in some events alone, but we encourage everyone to form teams of up to four characters! All of the team members don't need to participate in every thread if you don't want to but the option is there if you'd like! Teams will have no bearing on rewards (but it will make them easier) so there also isn't a limit of how many teams a character can be in to prevent a scenario where some characters are let out just because some people made teams early on.

If you would like to, you can give your team a name and even design a logo!

On the event list page you can see a list of events and the rewards you can earn from participating! Rewards can only be claimed by the team members who participate, so if you choose to do a one person drabble then only you get those rewards!

You can participate in as many events as you want, but the amount of Stars one character can earn from the event is capped at 500 Stars. This does not include the regular amount you get for event participation.

There will also be an unlock reward for this event, however there is a stipulation to this. In order to claim the unlock you must write at least 300 words with at least one character on your account that your muse has yet to interact with. So long as the thread is event related it will count, which is where teams could certainly help!

As always please feel free to send any questions you may have to the masterlist!

The event ends at 11:59:59PM EST on May 17th!

"'Course I do!"

While she generally wasn't fond of the strong tingling against her tongue that carbonation brought, Frye wasn't about to pass up any sort of free drink, especially not one in such a sweet and fruity flavor! Snatching the chilled can up without a second thought, she settled down on the wall next to the man who'd offered it, leaning back and moving to pop the tab open-- only to stop short, golden eyes lingering on his face in sudden confusion.

He looked sort of familiar to her, enough so to prickle like a faint eel bite at the back of her brain. But from where? Something about looking at him sat like a heavy lump against her chest, a sour taste that burned at the back of her throat similarly to his cigarette smoke. But despite her abrupt staring, she couldn't place an actual finger on why something about him rung such a strange bell.

Whatever this uncanny feeling was, she quickly decided that she didn't want to think about it too hard, especially not when he'd just offered her a gift. Choosing to shake the moment of discomfort off with a physical shake of her head, she broke right back into one of her normal wide and carefree grins as if nothing had happened, this time popping the can open for real with an audible hiss.

"Must be your lucky day to get a bonus like that, huh? And mine, for being the first person to pass ya by. Thanks!"

"Hey."

He's seen her before, all those months ago in the Abyss. They hadn't ever had a real chance to actually speak, and none of them were really in a good state to have a proper conversation. And now he's just so happened to come across her out on the city streets.

Wolfwood turns his head to expel cigarette smoke, and with his free hand digs into his bag and pulls out a can of cherry soda—still cold. He holds it out to her.

"The vending machine dropped two. You want the extra?"

@moraypower

suffer no fools

"YOU?!"

While likely a louder and more volatile reaction than anticipated, Frye couldn't help the shout as it left her lips, gawking at the sight of the shorter squid standing before her. Sure, it was always nice to see another inkling around, a taste of familiarity in a city filled with anything but-- but her?! The rich, Inkopolis princess who'd tried overtaking their turf?!

Past collab or not, surprise allowed for her ink to boil over in the heat of the moment all too quickly, the beginnings of a snarl baring her beak wide. But her mouth snapped back shut again just as fast, taking a step forward and dropping into a squat to flash Pearl a smirk that was perhaps a bit too sharp.

"What, you worried you won't be able to stick it to us without your l'il grouper hanging around?"

Barbed words, quick to leap onto the offense and issue a challenge as the fire blazed behind her eyes; and yet, there was also a familiar playfulness lingering alongside the swift bite, undeniably present in her tone and body language even as she leaned subtly forward with hands resting firm on her hips.

The thought of whether or not this was in any way an appropriate greeting when she was clearly still adjusting was far from Frye's mind, too far caught up in the rush to even consider it. In this second, all she knew was the instant blaze of territorial competition, and the knowledge that Pearl was fast enough on her feet to keep up!

@moraypower

♬ "Yo, Frye!" Pearl wouldn't consider herself to be the closest friend to Deep Cut or anything but they had collabed at least once. Regardless of their history it was just nice to see another inkling and not a human. Nothing against them or anything, but when you lived in a world where they were supposed to be extinct, well... It was like humans living alongside dinosaurs, right?

"You seen Rina anywhere? I've been running circles around this place and haven't seen a thing." This wasn't even the first time recently that they'd been separated. It was distressing and this time she didn't even have Eight! "Kinda starting to get the vibe she isn't here..."

"I dunno, the Stars did a real good job ignorin' us last time I tried that... but I bet we could get 'em to listen with a bigger fire!"

Were the Stars even the topic here? Probably not, but that was the first place her mind leapt to.

COMING SOON...
