@cadcnce​​​ asked: "Remind me again how long it's going to take to break into this mainframe? Feeling like I should have packed a game or something. We still got places to be and like three more doors to go." Wylan wipes a small bit of blood and checks the grip on his weapon. A few hiccups aside, it was still a nonlethal infiltration.

The Professor knew that time is of the essence, but she also knew techology was complex. The security of this place was well established, even breaking in and fighting past the guard was a bit of a feat, but they accomplished their task. Now Midnight was finishing up the difficult part, however, as she expected—even hacking into their mainframe was arduous,but not impossible.

“Approximately fifteen minutes, so you have to buy me a bit more time. I have high hopes you can protect me. I will be unable to defend myself while my focus is to get in. This mission will be a success. Trust in my abilities, you did hire me to get this job done did you not?”

If anything, she could be confident in was her ability to get around this. Compared to the tech back from her old planet, this wasn’t much a headache. Just a matter of breaking down the code, getting the password wasn’t required for her with this method. She’ll basically reprogram their systems and be able to hijack with it before they could take control. 

“Looks like they already caught on to our plans, you know what to do from here. I’ll let you know once I’m done.” 

@chancestander​ asked: There's something cocooned between the trees!... Or rather, on further inspection, it's merely a cloth hammock. And Rex had fallen asleep within it. "Oh oh, hello again, Professor. Research goin' alright?"

The Professor just exits her lab after she checked her email that detailed some unsettle news. She wanted to investigate more on it, but she already sent Stealth Bomber on a mission and anyone else she could ask was already busy taking care of other things. Who could she ask to assist her in this investigation? Goddess or not, it was like the cosmos heard her prayer. As she steps outside, she glances up at the voice greeting her. Confusion was not hidden from her visage. When did he? Well, the real question was how long has he been there?

“Now, when I said you’re free to make yourself at home when visiting here, I did not mean literal, Mr. Rex.” A sigh left the Professor’s lips as she notes to be cautious with her wording in the foreseen future. 

Stopped in her tracks. Midnight is left with no other choice. For now, she would brush off the issue with his current arrangements—maybe this will be time to see for her own eyes how capable and useful this man could be. 

“Since you’re already here. I need your aid and it will not go without compensation.” 

“Well, regarding the situation at hand, do you wish to hear the good news or the bad news first?”

“I’m more than happy to return to working. However, what is this lethargic sensation of wanting to remain in bed? I should avoid taking vacation time in the future.” 

Traumatized was short for the word to describe what was called cookies. Midnight wonders: was there such a skill to terminate any race in a form of cooking? Never again did the scientist allowed Kuromoto anywhere near any form of cookery.

@alchemiasaturnalis​ liked for a starter!

Something went horribly wrong with her main computer. It wasn’t a software issue, and she backed up everything and it transferred to another computer. But the hardware became fried. There was only one person she could blame, but it wasn’t his fault. In a way to compensate for the trouble. Mercury referred someone who can fix it. 

It wasn’t long before Midnight met face to face with a white-haired man. His expression was as empty as her own and he seem more aloof. Strange, she was worried that the person who was referred to her would have been obnoxious, but this man was the latter. 

“I apologize for the short notice, but do you think it could be fixed as soon as possible? I’m a bit pressed on time.” 

There was work to be done. She had to get this data for the research she was doing completed before the deadline. It was a last-minute referral from a colleague named Dr. Haruka Miwa. A rather renown doctor, inventor and researcher that even owned her own facility called Rosencrest. Midnight and her keeps in contact as she is helping her with the research and development of Anima without a hassle. 

I love your hair.

"It is unnatural than most have seen, but it's not something I would take as a compliment. It causes me to stand out too much. It's more of a burden than something I should take pride in." Compliments on the Professor's physical appearance isn't something she take pride and praise in. It makes her a bit conscious that wasn't from this planet. That something about her was different and she wished there was something she could to make her feel more natural when blending with others. A reminder of a goal she wishes to accomplish.

“I suppose this is a vacation needed. I won’t be getting any work done during his retrograde.” A forced understanding that she will need to take a break from her work—otherwise her research and everything she achieved up to this point maybe all for nothing.

The stars had lighten a path for Kouki. ( @pastballads​)

“I don’t expect you to trust me after the way I’ve treated you and I apologize. But I’m afraid of what will happen to you if I leave you alone. I should not shut you way instead, I should have been honest with you for the beginning...”

Her chest was bubbling up with anxiety, fear, but also relief that he was willing to try. For the first time in years, her navy blues blurred with water that emits from her sockets. She would get down to knees not caring if her stockings or lab coat gotten dirty before pulling him close into a gentle warm embrace. 

“I don’t want to lose anymore people I care about and I don’t want to be alone anymore either. I know it’ll be long ways to go, but I hope that we can be a family.”

alchemiasaturnalis said: ❛ Now now, there is no need to be rude, Miss Lucesco. How about you tell me how you really feel. ❜ she couldn't see the boredom in his eyes, thanks to the darkness of his sunglasses, but his voice was drowning in it——waiting for the moment she crumbles under the climax of his experimentation.

She was angry, but usually she can brush it off or hide it with mild annoyance. But why wasn’t her emotional repressors working? There is no way that she can switch them off without going through the process of using her powers. That left only one thing: that potion he slipped into her drinks. They revoked her ability to suppress her emotions. 

“SATURNUS, YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY!” Her tone that was usually monotonous now have volume to it. Her eyes that lacked any emotions now was filled with fury and her lips even tightened as she glared at him. “Give me the antidote now or I’ll kill you where you stand.”

The fact that she even threatened to kill him was unlike her. Yet these impulsive feelings that was controlling her. It felt overwhelming as if years of bottled of sensations were overflowing— which they were. 

a random starter for @rubygoldberg​!

"I'm in search for a woman, do you know where I may find her?" A mysterious woman approached her wearing  an attire that was made for a lab, but also something slightly casual in away. What stood out was the starry-sky like hair that shimmered in the darkness that somewhat mirrored the night sky above her. "Her name is Ruby Goldberg and I was told she had a special ability."

zorkaya asked: Slides in to Mdinight. "Hey, Midnight, want me to be your maid for a day?" Cue her winking, obviously making the whole ordeal a joke.

“Are you and Saturnus conspiring together to drive me upon a brink of insanity? If such a diabolical plot is at mind, I shall not entertain neither of you.” She was extremely serious about averting them both from whatever madness came into mind. So far, the only person she could trust with such a task is Mercurius—only because his profession was being a head butler in a way at the estate. She knew that Zarina was only taunting her, still she wouldn’t dare put it past this woman when she was bored enough. 

sphinxsmuses answered: Send black for a scifi-ish starter (Hmm, since it’s sci-fi, hope you don’t mind me using someone not on the list at the moment. Miss Trinity! I can tell more in a IM or you can look at my all oc list!)

A white haired woman was on a mission to help a planet being attacked by a large group of space pirates set on taking a city over. Though she was alone, she was prepared to fight all of them inside a special combat suit she called a Frame. She found someone being shot at and quickly jumped in front of them.

Shooting the assailant, she turned to the other. “Are you alright? I’m here to help. I can heal you if you have any wounds.”

She wasn’t expecting to be attacked like that. These pirates almost attempted to steal the Power Stones that she was carrying. Luckily, this woman shown up in time to stop them. Using her own powers would be dangerous and exposing too much her existence and the Power Stones. This woman seemed like she was strong, even though she was using a specialized combat suit. Perhaps, she could be another chosen wielder that she was searching for.

“Thank you, miss, but I am fine.” Midnight answered. “You managed to save me from those ruffians.” 

She didn’t need saving, but it was best to play defenseless for now. Besides, she need to observe this woman more to make a decision. This was a great opportunity to have an excuse to use her for her research and help with her goal. 

Send ❓  and my muse will answer all questions honestly.

zorkaya said: ❓ :)

Does my muse trust yours? “Yes I trust her with my own life, she have proven trustworthy enough for me to.”    Does my muse dislike yours? “No, I grown very fond of her.

I will gladly give up some of my lifespan to save her.” Does my muse find your muse attractive? “Well, she is attractive in a very aesthetic way.

“She’s can say things to get under my skin, but nothing where it’s unpleasant nor it is as bad as when Mars does it.”

unprompted birthday starter [accepting]

zorkaya asked: The birthday of her dearest found sister was not going to be forgotten by Sokolova. If anything, it only took her so long because she was preparing everything, telling Midnight that she was busy only to check all of the presents and to prepare all of the food herself because she truly believed that a home made meal was much better and more intimate in terms of preparation. She wanted to show that Midnight was a part of the family and she'd go through many hardships to make her happy and make her feel like she belonged to her team and her chosen family.

Now, as she led Midnight while asking her to close her eyes and not open them until it's allowed, Sokolova opened the door into the big living room where everything was organized and prepared for the scientist to walk in.

"You can open your eyes now."The blues, the star-like, and universe-like aesthetics were filling the whole room from decorations to even the present wraps. On the large table, there were different dishes that she found out Midnight enjoyed to some capacity, hoping that they'll be better than her snacks and unhealthy habits. On a smaller coffee table there were different presents from the whole team, including the servants who seemed to enjoy Midnight's presence in the HQ.

"Happy Birthday, Midnight!" Zarina smiled softly, truthfully at her dear friend and her family. She let go of the other's hand, stepping forward and turning around to face the other. There were different presents, from small trinkets to some comfortable clothes suiting Midnight's style. Zarina's present was a small watch adorned with pretty crystals made to look like stars and universe, a custom-made watch that she had made to make sure it'll fit Midnight's fancy. Even if they were adorned with crystals, the watch itself was comfortable and not heavy, all to make sure that it'll help the other know time and not overwork herself. A present with a message. "It took me longer to finish the preparation, but at least, I made it to dinner."

She didn’t think much of the idea of Zarina planning something for her. Like herself, when Zarina tells her she was busy, she believed knowing and respecting the mutual independence they shared. She admit, she did feel a little lonely about the lack of company as she started to enjoy Zarina’s presence. Their bond was close enough where Midnight didn’t always bothered with her stoic mask unless in the presence of others or working. Maybe it was thanks to that horrible potion Saturnus had forced on her or maybe she just gotten too comfortable with the other. Whatever the case, Midnight started to express more of her feelings— not something she can still do in regards to the IL Vuoto Family in that manner.  When Midnight finished her work, she had a call from Zarina who ask her to come over to HQ, Stepping away from her personal lab, she would head over being greeted by her friend and sister figure in question. She asked to close her eyes as she was being lead by the hand from the other. Midnight brimmed with curiosity in an inquiry of what the other was up to, When she finally asked to open her eyes Midnight couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with warm feelings, ‘She did this for me? Even though I never really cared to express to celebrate my date of birth?’ Over the many years she spent, Midnight never once spent the day with anyone in a long, long time. It’s been a little over a century since she last celebrated before her planet perished. This was something she forgoed since there wasn’t a reason or anyone to tell or rejoice on the day. She wondered how she found out about it? She knew Saturnus can’t read her nor did she tell either of them about it. Perhaps, she must have found a way to take a look into her older data logs of her virtual journal that she kept hidden. However she figured, she couldn’t believe she went though all this trouble for her.  Her pale features flustered with redness and her eyes begin to fill up with moisture. How strange, is this how it felt to cry that was never caused by sadness? Wiping the tears with the sleeve of her lab coat, the starry haired woman did the unexpected as she turned Zarina and her arms wrapped around her in a small embrace. The first time she hugged someone on her own accord because she never felt so welcomed by anyone else before with the exception of the IL Vuoto Twins and Albion, Rena, Kuroshi, and another— most people shunned her because of the fact she wore a lab coat or those who learned of what she truly capable of saw her as a monster. 

“Thank you... so much for this Zarina.” Her voice quivering slightly, though her tone revealed the happiness and gratitude that she felt.  “Thank you all for accepting me.” Midnight took the time to examine everything, the presents, the dinner, and even the decoration. Zarina was truly kind and loving— and Midnight did love her in an unconditional familial way. Midnight even thanked the team and the servants, a dazzling smile that she never express even in the company of the others were visible. Midnight felt something inside of her— a longing to remain a little longer in this world.
