Adam sighed. Looking at his paperwork as he tried to figure out more info on this so called 'boy' of his that he was talking about. "I can't just kill anyone or even get them out you know? There is a lot of paperwork and even a few lies I have to make up that would be believable to everyone as well." Running his hand through his hair in frustration as he got a funny feeling of what was going to happen.

Jack’s rage

@chaoticxgays​

"You have Jamie?" Jack mumbled, staff lowering. How? He was just with Jamie a few hours ago!

Jack's face again contorted into anger. But he relented, lowering his staff.

"Fine. If you let Jamie go. What do you want, Pitch?" Venom laced the others name on Jack's tongue. Last time he fell for this, Pitch double crossed him and didn't intend to let Baby Tooth go. If Pitch does that again....

=

Pitch smiled as he stroked Jack’s cheek almost condescendingly. Oh the rage in Jack’s eyes made him want to humble the newest Guardian even more, not to mention the revenge for his hand in helping defeat him all those years ago.

Of course, Jack should have known that the Boogeyman would always be back in time. Humans would always have fears and nightmares after all, just as well as they had hopes and beliefs.

“Well that is not a very congenial tone Jack, how about you start by going to your knees and apologizing?”

“ Ugh, my knee... Why do I always have to be so clumsy? “

Real great way to make a first impression at her new school, that’s for sure... Still, it’s not like was anything serious. Yes, it stung, but the most it left was a bit of scratch...

Looking up towards the other girl, she’d quickly dust herself off, before getting back on feet.

“ I-I’m good! I’m good... Just had a little bit of an accident, that’s all... Anyways, yeah, I’m one of the new ones... My name’s Mika. It’s a pleasure to meet you. “ She’d state, with a small bow.

Huh. I must exude so much confidence right now. But I remember being in this position... two years ago. ... It’s only been two years? Two long, long years, huh?

“Nice to meet you too!” Sayaka replied, bowing towards Mika. “I’m Sayaka Asakura, third-year student. Don’t sweat it, I used to be a bit clumsy when I was in your shoes,” she lied.

Lost Child of Chaldeas

continued from this @animusphere-goddess-of-chaldea He almost didn't notice that his initial inquiry went unanswered, instead immediately distracted by the worry evident on Olga-Marie's face.

"It'll be fine! You don't have to worry about anything at all Director Olga-Marie! Anya will be with Team A and the others! They're super strong! Did you know Kirshtaria can make star showers by waving his hands? It's so cool!" He said excitedly. In his mind there was no possible way the A Team could fail to do anything. He'd been dumped on Kirstharia's lap by the former director at some point for enrichment and pack bonded with that group of extremely capable mages. Turning to Anya he smiled and nodded. "I have an older sister too! And I'd be really sad if anything happened to her so even though Pepe and the others will be there be careful!" He'd been told that the work the other masters did was too dangerous for him to participate in but he didn't really internalize what that meant. He was sure when he got older they'd let him join and then they'd be one big happy group of friends exploring all kinds of things. Fou nodded from his place on Nathan's shoulder as the boy beamed an all too bright smile at the two.

Miko has spent the last few days nursing her other self back to help. Thankfully it seemed that she was making a swift recovery from her case of being dead. She sat over her, a number of wet rags at the ready for her forehead and numerous medicines. Granted said medicines were traditional Taoist elixirs, which meant there was quite a bit of mercury around.

"Miko, can you hear me? Say something about the last time we were on the yen if you can."

Miko turned and smooshed her cheek against the pillow, groaning. “The last time they printed those notes with me on them was in... Shōwa 58...” she replied, muffled slightly. “So... 1983. ... Obviously... the newer notes are the ones most commonly used... but some of those notes... with me on them... still exist... and are still used... ... yeah.”

She turned her head and rested it back against the pillow, looking up at her twin. “More to the point... there can be only one! Only one of us, Miko, my friend... it’s been interesting, but... once I recover... we must battle.”

"I've got you..."

The Nightmare regards the immortal through half lidded teeth. A soft chuckle resonating in his chest as he idly watches Hob wipe away some of the dried blood that stains his golden skin. His head tilted and hair flattened around his visage with the weight of steaming water from the shower overhead. But despite his nonchalant demeanor, it is clear behind the smile that he is uncomfortable with the unusual show of concern.

"Blood doesn't phase me, doll." He promises. Raising a hand to gently place his hand over Hob's to stop him from running the cloth over his chest. He leans in closer to admire those deep brown eyes.

"Does it phase you to be wiping your own blood off of me?"

The water rolling off the two of them that swirled around their feet was cloudy and red. His cloth, which used to be a sea foam green was far closer to a ruddy brown. He stopped when the Corinthian's hand covered his. He raised his eyes to the Nightmare's occular maws and a soft smile crinkled the corners of his eyes.

"Not anymore, darling," he replied, chuckling softly. He gently peeled the Corinthian's hand away from his and laced their fingers together as Hob continued scrubbing the blood from his perfect skin. Skin that was unlike his own. Unblemished, unmarred. Devoid of wrinkles and signs of age. No freckles. It was in times like these that Hob was reminded of how... unnatural the Corinthian was.

He lifted the rag up to the Nightmare's face and swiped away a splatter of blood his cheek. He hesitated slightly before leaning forward and gently pressing his lips to the Corinthian's left occular mouth, kissing him gently there. In a place he'd never kissed the Nightmare before.

hxroic-wxlls:

...Oh crap.

She’s just gonna toss aside her bag of snacks, and actually try to look a little professional for this. Her reputation’s on the line, here... Clearing her throat, she’d face this newcomer with a confident smile.

“ Oh? Well, they’re certainly correct about that... As the god of the Hakurei Shrine, it’s my duty to ensure the Shrine Maiden’s powers remain prominent, and the barrier stays active... Of course, it’s a heavy task, but nothing that I can’t handle. Keeping the peace in Gensokyo is of the highest importance to me, after all. So I must be sure to work hard in every given moment. “

Just ignore the fact that she’s a lazy super NEET with no social skills, and that’s probably 80% true.

“I see, I see! That all sounds natural. That’s definitely going into the chronicle... as yet, nothing was ever written about you, and I don’t have any memories of you from the previous Children of Miare either. Many would assume that the Hakurei Shrine had no god! On that note...”

“Surely there’s a good reason why you’ve kept yourself hidden away for so long... to the point that the Hakurei shrine maiden doesn’t know you! And, it follows that, since you’re here now...”

"To be honest that is the problem I am not really sure what kind of bouquet to get because...well the flowers are for my Mom. I was going to go and visit her grave today its her birthday soon after all."

She crawled out and came to her feet, promptly dusting herself off. Nervously smiling at the soldier in front of her she greeted him; “Hi I’m Nicole!” She extended her hand out for a handshake. “Sorry if I startled you, it’s just a bit easier to travel by vent.”

The watchdog was small, a bit shorter than the Commander. Her gloves and boots were purple instead of the traditional red. And she stood with an awkward smile when ones greets a stranger.

"Oh, hi, I'm Hank," he shook her hand, "So you travel by vent a lot?"

He glanced behind her to look into the dark vent, "Isn't it dusty? How do you navigate?"

He noticed the uniform differences but didn't comment. He was in the standard usual uniform.

Continued from:

Six looked at him with an apologetic expression. She just nodded, looking away, and exhaled. It was just another nightmare. No big deal.

But when it involved Mono…

Six shut her eyes, as tears threatened to fall. She wiped at her cheek as one did, and glanced at her friend. Are you ok? her eyes seemed to ask.

She looked down, but silently grabbed his hand, hoping he’d stay with her for a few minutes.

"What do you want? Don't you got your own job to do instead of bothering someone on guard duty?" The wolf tengu wasn't really happy to see Aya either. Really, Momiji be happier if she didn't show up even if she hates being stuck in her current position despite all her effort.

“Perhaps, but I wanted to check up on you. You know, I do have a lot of respect for you inasmuch as you are good at your work. Though, perhaps you don’t need to hear it from me.”

"... so... you find any interesting new shōgi pieces from the Outside World lately?”

Since Brandon wore his signature green jacket whenever he went out exploring, he wasn't really bothered by the cold weather out today. It was insulated enough to keep him from getting chilly. However he did notice someone nearby was shivering like a leaf, it was a very meek looking girl. Brandon's good samaritan side was showing as he looked at his jacket and he removes it before he walked over to the girl and offered it to her so she could get warmed up. Though hearing her yelp caught him off guard, but he gently drapped his jacket around her to warm her up

"Hey, it's okay. I'm not here to hurt you. You need to keep warm on days like this" Brandon told her calmly

I'm scrolling through some ambient noises to help me write, and it got me thinking. Y'know those white noise machines people use for sleeping?

Do you think there's a very specific brand marketed at Gothamites?

Like everyone else has rainy nights on the beach, whale song, the crackle of the campfire, and everyone's all-time favorite "rickety fan about to oscillate off your shitty ikea desk at four in the morning."

And then there's "The Sounds of Gotham," a nighttime ambiance made up of heavy thunderstorms interspaced with the wail of police sirens and the occasional smattering of gunfire.

If you upgrade to premium, you can get the added sound effect of "small vigilante child dropping onto your apartment roof followed by the heavy pitter-patter of their combat boots as they dropkick a criminal off the fire escape."

Mm. Cozy.

prettyboywarrior:

"Guess you'll just have to take mine as well then." Xaos will never miss the chance to flirt with a pretty girl!

“Wait... then that means... if you do have my heart...”

“Oi, give it back! Surely you don’t mean to run off with it?”

Trying the Wise King's patience

Continued from this @sagekinq ---

He nearly jumped out of his own skin when he heard the tapping of Gilgamesh's axe against the ground. His stance quickly became rigid as he rushed to obey the command, meeting the Wise King's stare with his own. "Y-Yes! Yes your majesty! I'll do my best!" Fresh determination flowed through him. Gilgamesh was a harsh task master that didn't accept failure but that was exactly why he'd gone to the wayward caster for help. He wasn't going to get anywhere if his Servants were just going to keep treating him like a toddler after all. He readied the magecraft again, attempting to reinforce the wooden sword that had been supplied to him. It was the simplest of simplest spells that any mage worth their salt could cast without a second thought but Nathan was very far from a proper mage and throttling his od was something he had simply never had to do until very recently. During the Singularities he had mystic codes to do the heavy lifting of casting spells for him but as things were he needed a backup plan just in case he didn't have access to them. Honestly though. How foolish could he be? He'd promised to be less of a burden on his Servants despite barely being of age and he'd decided the best way to fulfil that promise was to go to Wise King Gilgamesh for help. Well. He was going to become a better Master or die trying at this rate.

seventhdecrees:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After the Sakoku decree was lifted, many travelers would enter Inazuma’s ports by the handful. The land of thunder was flourishing once more — the shogun coming to terms with her role as a leader and closure from her sister solidified it.

Even trying to understand the people of Inazuma with their view of their lives to improve. In Tenshukaku, Raiden was preoccupied with paperwork with business relationships until a guard came in with a foreign woman by his side.

The deity tucked away the paperwork and let the other woman sit down.

“ Rarely a traveler desires a meeting with me? Nonetheless, I'll indulge your questions. ”

Miko walked in with the guard and, once invited to have a seat, bowed towards the woman and sat across from her. She immediately pondered: From the start... hmm... the types of desire permeating this space are... ...

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness. (Correct me immediately if there is a more formal address I should use.)” Bowing deeply, she introduced herself, “This one is called Toyosatomimi no Miko. [I come from a land quite like this one, I must admit.] I’m glad that you accepted my request on such short notice.”
