Saw your Bug!Vicagent.

... could you please give us some more tidbits of them in your Au? Because I've been staring at that post since you posted it lol-

I'm so normal about them /j

Sure! :DD I don't have any references for them on hand, but these two images show their designs pretty decently.

Agent is a pretty rare case of a tall dragonfly, so he's one of the lucky few bug species who can still fly.

Victim is a very special case: a cordyceps fungus in a locust host. Cordyceps are pretty rare, and locusts are just as rare. Locusts aren't born, they are triggered. Usually from a grasshopper or cricket, after going through an extreme trauma they become locusts, but the only locusts discovered are dead. Victim is no different.

Cordyceps are also pretty weird. Most cordyceps simply take the body and woe. zombug be upon ye. However, ancient Roaches wanted to try and replicate immortality and thus began the kidnapping of other bugs and experimenting on different species and themselves with cordyceps. It IS possible for somebody to live on thanks to the fungus, as the fungus can take and hold memories rather than replacing them. Only thing is, those cases tend to be artificial due to the extremely specific requirements

That being magic and a strong body. Poison and Ice are the easiest kinds of magic to work with, and one of the few species that can physically handle the cordyceps and magic without overloading the fungus are moths.

Victim got lucky. He was Alan's first little experiment when he discovered that bugs come from little larvas and eggs and if he grows his own bug then he can have endless entertainment. Victim couldn't fight back well against Gammas or whatever other Deadlanders Alan threw at him, but Alan is observant. He knows bugs use roach crystals to heal by hitting them. So he basically impales Victim alive with a crystal and murders him lmao

Cordyceps finds Victim's body and attaches to it, and he got lucky enough to where the tiny shards of crystal stuck in his system was just enough for the fungus to hold his memories and self. So victim basically becomes the fungus.

BUT THAT IS STILL NOT GOOD. It was sheer luck and because hes not even a moth the connection is pretty unstable. In a strong bond, there would be no worry about reverting to the zombie-like state, but since his connection is so unstable it can get triggered.

On the bright side, this makes him a living magic detector. Its how he finds one of the shards of the Wasp King's crown so easily, which allows him to brainwash Chosen One. On the ugly side, you get this:

This happens after Victim tries and fails to kill Alan. He basically gets really pissed that Alan doesn't want to kill him anymore, that he isnt even trying to fight back, and starts mentally spiraling because of it. He compares himself to the other Hollows which are all sorcerers and have magic, and chalks up his failure and lack of control over the situation to that lack of magic.

So to fix that he basically ditches everyone and goes to Snakemouth Den, aka the original lab where the Roaches experiment cause goddamn that place is potent with it you can literally see it in the air. Basically goes there and something something recreating the events of trauma so you can control the outcome, smashes a shit ton of the crystals into smaller shards.

Agent brings the color gang into this (the only mercenary who knows about vics situation) because he had a feeling shit would go wrong and boy was he right. Victim drives the crystals through his exo-skeleton and

he does it. he gets poison magic. but he still gets knocked down easily so rinse and repeat of him attacking, getting beat, healing by impaling with a crystal, and so on. But yeah the more magic he siphons from the roach crystals the more it makes the fungus kinda lose it and slowly but surely the grip the fungus has on his memories and self starts slipping and the instincts from the fungus and the sentience starts getting blurred. Yeah sorry victim in your obsession and greed for control for others you lost control of yourself

Basically a boss fight at that point, feral zombie vic vs his loyal lapdog of a bug and 5 children. At first its just operating off of the instinct of getting them OUT of the territory, but he also burns through the magic really quickly which means he needs more and oh look at that cute little bee hes full of magic. Basically a stalling game of blocking off the exist and making sure he doesnt rip the crystal stuck in seconds head out.

Eventually they win and after a quick revive from Second, an unconscious victim gets carried to an inn by Agent and everyone leaves the caves that day with so much trauma yippeeee

PART III

Sam found himself in the warehouse's back area that had been altered, now a mixture of original storage on the left and prefabricated rooms to the right, with the loading dock straight ahead, where his wolf was leading him. The scent of home was strongly intermingling with blood where cursing and bodies impacting each other were echoing down the hallway, drawing Sam in.

A quick look-see around an open door revealed fluorescents bathing everything in washed-out colors: a very pretty, weeping, leashed O kneeling next to an expensively attired Alpha, passively observing two other Alphas engaged in a fight when one abruptly spun, spraying blood across the back walls not far from another lying in a pool of their blood on the floor. Enraged, the remaining Alpha redoubled their efforts to restrain a naked, blood-covered female who was, holy fuck, an O! 

Sam watches, astonished that, while tiring, the O wasn't giving up when another Alpha wielding a blackjack shoves him out of the way, bludgeoning and knocking her to the floor, repeatedly striking to ensure she stayed down grabbed her collar and dragged the dazed O towards a line of heavy-duty dog crates stuffing her in one. While blackjack hauled out the bodies, the banged-up Alpha grabbed a hose washing blood down the floor drain, then turned it on the caged O when Sam’s brother rushed in, grabbing him.

“Sammy! What the fucks the matter with you!” Dean, visibly distraught, dragged him down the hallway, flashbacks to when Sam disappeared for two weeks after turning sixteen on his watch and when their Alpha returned, his atrocious reaction. “You promised me you’d never disappear like that again!”  Right now, Dean wishes Sam was still unpresented and could discipline him when John, appearing relieved, quickly reverted to norms. “Sam, you ever do that again,” admonished his pup in a tight voice. He wasn’t expecting Sam’s I found the O response questions, “What are you talking about?” Sam pointed towards the room and exclaimed, “She killed two Alphas!” 

“Are you sure it was an O?” John sounded doubtful when the palatable taste of the blood and the scent that led Sam back here hit him, making his wolf jolt at his overloaded senses and his canines elongate. John wrestled back control to his hunter intellect when his eldest growled, bolted back down the hallway, followed by Sam on his heels, and yelled, “Dean! Sam! Get your asses back here!”  

Helms appears out of nowhere and sees Dean arguing with the suited Alpha. “Winchester, you have no right to be back here!” The suit stops arguing with Dean and turns on the Dealer. “You think you can sell me misrepresented goods, Helms?” Pointing to the cage rages, “I paid you an exorbitant price for twins. But you lied! Look at that thing!!” John peers back at the cage and sees the leashed O reaching into a wire cage, shaking the other one’s arm as Sam knelt next to her and, oh, holy shit, laid a hand on her shoulder. 

John rushed over before the suit realized the young Alpha was touching their newly acquired property. “Step away from them, Sam.” Sam reluctantly got up as John squatted down to inspect them. The caged one curled up in a fetal position is larger than her sibling, but one can still see her full, pink lips and cinnamon-freckled skin, and she smells nothing like the other. Helms thought he could pass off these O’s as twins? No wonder the suit is pissed. The O whimpers, opening her uninjured, fox-tilted eye to reveal the iris’s unusual mosaic, and upon seeing Sam, a faint ring of gold manifests, and his wolf reciprocates.

John knew only one thing could override rut suppressants snapped, “Dean, get Sam out of here this instant!”  Dean comes over, green eyes widening, and doubles-over groans out, “Sonuvabitch!”

 “Dean! I gave you an order!” 

Dean hobbled to his dazed brother, “Come on, Sammy!” They stagger for the door, using each other as a counterbalance. John returned his attention to the suit, still arguing with Helms about some contractual blah blah blah, felt a touch on his leg peers down at the O, whispering, “Alpha, please don’t let them kill her!” 

John watches the caged one reach a shaking hand through the bars, stroking the other’s arm comfortingly. She has strong protective instincts, like Dean when Sam has one of his nightmares. John’s thoughts are interrupted by the suit hollers. “Hey! What the fuck you are doing over there?” 

The suit stomps over, and John’s hackles go up, expecting an altercation. Instead, they take the O’s leash, leading her across the room to tether her to the doorknob before addressing him. “I understand you need an O to keep your son out of jail, so I’ll make you a deal. You can have that thing,” they point to the cage, “for a dollar. Save me the effort of getting rid of it.”

“You can’t make side deals in my establishment!” Helms screeched. The suit uses their status to dominate the Beta Dealer. “You lied about the product, and since I’ve signed all the contracts and a deal being a deal, as you keep pointing out, I can do whatever I want with my property.” The suit addresses John again, “Are you interested or not?” John gazes at the now unconscious caged O, then back to her twin, whose eyes plead for help.

“You have a deal.”

AVATAR - Recom - Prologue

Science Puke!Reader x Recoms series

Summary: Basically a small prologue to the upcoming chapter >:)

Warning(s): Teasing - Invasion of personal space - Negging SFW

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

Once you and the reincarnated Marines got acquainted with Pandora's soil, you learned quickly that the warnings and safety briefs were big understatement to the initial experience. Even the biggest warzones back on Earth were pure picnics by comparison. And the high temperatures and unforgiving climates were the least of your worries. Natural disasters, fiercely dangerous wildlife, and flora made it hard to tread on Pandorian ground without some security measure. Ardmore called it an auto-immune response. Which, to her credit, was true. Thankfully, the tall blue humanoids were confident in their abilities, allowing you a relatively safe passage through the forests whenever you traveled with them. Strangely enough, Mansk was always the first to be at your side. The stoic and calculating member who barely shared anything but a few grunts and nods, defended you, tossing his limber body into the heat of battle as he fired his machine guns until all of the clips were empty. You, of course, had your own exo revolver drawn, aiding them wherever you could, sometimes even hitting the designated target between the eyes and sparring your members from a final death blow. Your vantage point was your size, being less noticeable than the rest. Something that had earned you a decent amount of respect, acknowledgment, and even gratitude from some you didn't think would ever regard you on equal terms. Often you would spend your time checking their health stats, or, in more frequent cases, patching up wounds and mending broken bones as fast as you could. Eventually it began to feel like an actual unit, integrating like clockwork. Action-packed, racing pulses and anxiety-inducing situations gave you a quick reality check to what you signed up for. Most of the time, you had watched the cerulean giants coming to life when they fought off dangerous wilderness by subdueing the vicious natives and even taming the mighty banshees to their will. It was truly magnificent. As time progressed, you grew accustomed to your daily routine and learned to ignore most of the headache inducing quips and comments from Wainfleet, Brown or Z-Dog. The first few days were relatively peaceful by comparison. But as soon as you delved deeper and further into the emerald sea, enraptured by the size, variety, and lush growth that Earth lacked, you couldn't help but feel a bit of you crumbling. At first, you had to take an hour to process all of this nature and wonder these lands offered before a tear or two rolled down your damp cheeks. You made sure none of your soldiers, not even Ryan, would notice you in this state of vulnerability. A certain level of professionalism and sense of tact had to be maintained. If one were to survive this job, let alone, this planet. When you had grown accustomed to your new setting, you couldn't help but extend your hand and let the pads of your fingertips lightly graze over the lush plants and foliage, the tingle electrifiyng you with emotions you had not felt before. Sensory overload on a different level would describe it quite perfectly. Nevertheless, you still felt like a bit of an outsider. And although not nearly as raunchy or disrespectful like the first time you met these jarheads, the teasing would continue. In response, you and Ryan had grown closer and mostly kept to yourselves, especially during lunch break or camp. Quaritch made sure to keep you on your toes, often punishing you for the most ridiculous things like, for example, 'not paying enough' attention to his briefings. When he would lead with you shadowing his every step, more often than not would the thick length of his tail slap you against the side of your waist or head, feeling the flexible appendage rub and tickle your sensitive flesh. And there was even a time when you had to stifle a yelp when it boldly ghosted the juncture between your legs in a featherlight press, eliciting your body to almost leap from the inappropriate contact. His ears flickered in your direction until he graced you with his full attention, one brow lifted in mild curiosity. "Is the princess a bit too caviar for the jungle, hm?" He commented with the smuggest smirk you had ever seen. Your face flushed with embarrassment and outrage. "No sir," you answered simply, not wanting to take your chances with him. His grin broadened to a sly expression comparable to that of a fox. The brush of his tail made you wonder whether or not it was just pure coincidence or deliberate. But as you saw the glint flickering in his amber gaze, you dismissed the first notion pretty quickly. "Good, then stay focused and keep up." He knew what he was doing. Bastard. .... If he weren't your superior.... You thought begrudgingly as you clenched your fists, despising how his higher position made him neigh untouchable. The urge of unholstering your weapon and shooting him in the tail had your finger twitch with anticipation, but you reserved those desires as nothing but an afterthought.

To be continued -

INTRO -

Bit of left-field question, but: I'm in the middle of a deep dive on exos and reboots, and wondered about your take on something. In earlier lore I've lost track of--iirc something involving Lakshmi-2 researching the topic, I'd be indebted if anyone had a link--suggested that reboots in exos are rare and not fully understood in the present day. I figured that jibed, since it's implied in Legacy's Lament lore that a proper reboot requires fresh Alkahest, which would be hard to come by. But now the Entelechy lorebook offhandedly mentions modern exos all having been rebooted several times since the Collapse. So I'm curious if I missed something, or there's a wire crossed in loreland, about how widely known the need for reboots are/how to go about them, or if everything post-Collapse would have just been exos hitting spontaneous boots for unknown reasons. Thanks for your time!

I couldn't find any mention of it in Legacy's Lament so if you have some specific line you're thinking of, plese share! The only thing I can think of is this:

"Clovis. You, me, and every other Exo… we deserve the life we were promised. If this portal falls, and we die, we lose that life. And if we're gone, and the Vex find some other way back, humanity is doomed. So, let's shut it down. Hell, let's swallow the damn key. But the portal stays."

Elsie explaining to Banshee (at the time Clovis-43) why they can't destroy the Glassway portal; because Exos need those Vex to live. I always read this as Elsie thinking about how if their bodies are destroyed and have to be remade, they would need Alkahest again, as well as Alkahest being needed to make brand new Exos in case they are needed to fight the Vex again. I'm not sure if it relates to resets, though a possibility exists.

But generally speaking, a reboot should not require Alkahest mostly because of what Lakshmi-2 researched; she was researching Spontaneous Exo Reset Syndrome which is a rare condition that causes an Exo to reset on their own, spontaneously. Nobody knows what causes it. Here's one of my posts about it with links to others I've made about it before.

Two cases of it had an Exo spontaneously rebooting in the middle of combat and one rebooting in the middle of a journey back home in a jumpship, so it's virtually impossible that a reset requires some special equipment and Alkahest. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to reset like that out of nowhere, unless there's some internal mechanism that works through Alkahest. But applying new source of Alkahest shouldn't be needed, if we go by this information.

Maybe there's a way to do reset with Alkahest and maybe that reset is better, but they can be reset without it apparently. The spontaneous reboot is not really supposed to be happening and nobody knows why it does, so Exos really shouldn't be going through that a lot (and there's only a few known cases). I think there's a difference between regular resets and spontaneous Exo reset syndrome; regular resets may occur because of some sort of trauma or memory overload or something similar, while the syndrome appears to happen completely involuntarily, uncontrolled and sometimes almost lethal as it can incapacitate the person entirely.

It's still fairly unclear how resets happen and how an Exo decides to go through them. Lakshmi theorised that Lightbearers don't need resets at all because a Ghost protects them somehow which seems to hold true. I don't think we have any specific data on civilian Exos resetting. A lot of Exos needed resets back in the Golden Age while fighting on Europa, but that probably has a lot to do with combat and stress.

Still, Ada-1 is one of the two Exos that have never reset. In her case, likely because she was made in a different way in comparison with others. She doesn't seem to experience DER at all and doesn't have to mimic basic humanisms (literally has no mouth). There's only a single mention of another Exo with no resets, here, called Mist-1. They appear to be a civilian and we know nothing else about them that isn't in this tab.

How and why random civilians would need and complete their resets is I believe unknown. But the vast majority did go through them so the CE is fine on that front. Obviously tracking down the very rare individuals who haven't reset might be difficult, on top of the possibility that someone like Mist-1 may have died since. Ada-1 is a special case who wouldn't remember the Collapse because she died during.

EXO Reaction: You Have a Personality Similar to Baekhyun’s

Chen’s will be written platonically as I feel uncomfortable writing a romantic scenario for someone with a wife and two kids 😂

Xiumin:

Our oldest boy would vibe with your sense of humor soooo well. He’s close with Chen, so he’s used to the loud, mischevious, whiny type. Your relationship would be so balanced, he’s the chill, laid back one and you’re the hyper, fun one! He’s so patient with you and never makes you feel annoying, he just loves being around you because you always make him smile with your constant silliness :) He also always makes an effort to take you seriously. He knows that just because you’re goofy doesn’t mean you don’t have real feelings and opinions!

Suho:

I feel like your personality would just make Suho want to take care of you. (Because you remind him of his son LOL) He would totally baby you when you get all whiny, taking you into his arms and shushing you. He’s always so attentive, fixing your hair and tying your shoe for you so you don’t trip. You’re his pride and joy, and he loves showing other people how funny and adorable his partner is. He’d also be very upset if anyone took advantage of your positivity. He doesn’t get angry often, but when someone messes with you he gets scary. Overall, he thinks you’re so adorable and wants to constantly watch out for you like he does with Baekhyun!

Lay:

Our angel Yixing would simply die of cuteness overload at your personality. He adores you, and is always smiling that dimpley grin at your antics. Like Suho, he’d be a little protective to make sure you don’t get yourself into any predicaments, but he really just wants to watch you shine that unfiltered passion for living. He always makes sure you know how cute you are, punching your cheeks and kissing you on the nose when you’re being yourself. He’s been promoting in China so much that he misses his boys, and you definitely help him feel less down ❤️

Chen:

You were actually one of his wife’s friends, and he had gotten to know you better when you started watching the kids for them. Being a husband, father, and working man meant he didn’t have as much time to spend with his EXO members, so he really enjoyed talking with you. It was comforting almost, to know that he could find the same positivity and humor in another friendship. His wife thought it was funny how well the two of you got along, and was happy Chen had someone to chat with at the end of the day. She also had a secret plan to hook you up with Baekhyun one day by asking both of you to watch the kids on the same night, but wanted Chen to meet you himself first. After all, he’s very protective of his boy!

Chanyeol:

He felt like he had won the lottery. (I just hit the lotto la la la la HAHA IM SO FUNNY) How had he lucked out in finding the perfect best friend AND the perfect partner? With Chen being so busy with his new family, the beagle line had been missing a member, so you, Chanyeol, and Baekhyun were the perfect trio. Although, Channie would be lying if he said he didn’t prefer his time alone with you more. He loves how affectionate you are, always cuddling up to him and showering him in kisses. You’re his dream partner, and he couldn’t be more happy to have you.

D.O:

Oh my gosh, you are so lucky this man is in love with you, or you’d get the same treatment as Baekhyun 😂 He’s so very patient, and never wants to makes you feel annoying, but sometimes he gets a little overwhelmed! However, you’re very sweet and try your best to not direct all of your energy towards him. You only tease him a little bit, and try not to be too loud indoors. The two of you are very good at having your own downtime to do your separate activities, so by the time you see each other, you can enjoy each other’s presence! He also loves that you motivate him to come out of his shell, and conversely he shows you how to chill out. The two of you have a very healthy, communicative relationship despite your differences, and you both love each other a lot ❤️

Kai:

My guy is just happy to be here 😂 He can’t help but love every aspect of your personality. You make him laugh harder than anyone else does, and never fail to cheer him up when he’s feeling down. He’s very grateful to have your undying optimism and overflowing energy in his life, he really needs it sometimes. He tends to push himself too hard and forgets to enjoy his life, and you really help him remember :)

Sehun:

Sassy boy over here just can’t help but tease you any chance he gets. He’ll roll his eyes dramatically and tell you to quiet down when you get all hyper. A stranger would think he’s always annoyed with you, but you both knew that wasn’t the case. He always made fun of you with a smile on his face, and softly grabbed your hand in a certain way that let you know he was only joking. If you ever needed reassurance, he’d be happy to remind you that he wouldn’t be with you if he found you irritating. He loves your personality, you make every experience fun for him.

Baekhyun:

You thought I forgot about him? Nah, this is the grand finale! The two of you are insufferable to be around. You feed on each other’s chaotic energy, basically being a loud, mischievous, childish mess. If you weren’t so damn cute together, none of your friends would want to be seen with you in public! You’re obviously both extremely affectionate, always touching in some sort of way. Linking pinkies, slinging your arms around each others’ waists, back hugs, and pecks on the cheek we’re all displays of affection you used, not caring about the public’s reactions. You make each other so happy and are always there to pick the other up when they need a boost 🥰

I rly like your analysis of Minseok. Tbh I think Sehun is similar (I mean, he’s an Aries just like Minseok). Obviously, he would love his partner to try out the things he likes and vice versa, but wouldn’t force himself to like if he doesn’t, ya know? (Tho how he communicates this may lead to some issues). And he expects his partner to be similar in that regard.

What makes him and Min different is how they express themselves with their partner. Minseok would definitely be more vocal about his affection while Sehun wouldn’t. I think it extends further into him being the youngest in his family and in exo. Again, being quite overloaded on love and affection, makes him a bit hesitant about opening up as he’s concerned he won’t be able to match the effort his partner gives. That’s why I believe he would be the embodiment of “actions speak louder than words”. He would show how much he cares for his partner rather than say it. Obviously, he’ll say “I love you” or “thank you” every once in a while, but not often. I don’t think he’ll go overboard by spoiling his partner to death but maybe a nice gift here or there to show his appreciation.

But another aspect where they differ is spontaneity. Minseok seems like the person to plan out a date or event weeks or months in advance while Sehun would be like “hey, let’s go on a drive around Seoul?” or “let’s take a walk by the Han river” randomly at like 10:00 pm on Tuesday night where he and his s/o end up at random street bar by the end of the night.

I have no idea if this makes sense or not lol 😂. It’s just something that came to mind. You can totally ignore this if u want.

thank you so much! <3

yeah, i absolutely think they're different. minseok can talk about his feelings better than sehun can, you're right on that one. i think i've mentioned one time, that i think sehun has some trouble telling people how he feels because he was raised receiving love, so he doesn't "know" how to give it back.

sehun is also a lot more "loose" than minseok? in the sense that he doesn't take things too seriously or don't worry too much about the future as minseok does. maybe it's his age too, the way they were both raised, i don't know. but sehun can be way more easygoing than minseok.

another point: minseok seems to be a lot more stressed than sehun. not the sehun doesn't get angry or stand for what he believes is right (we all saw how he acted when that rumor that he was gonna be a father happened, how he stood up for himself and didn't take no shit from anyone), but it takes a lot more to get under sehun's skin than under minseok's.

they're different types of aries, that's for sure.

The SPECTRE AU- Frozen Heart.

Danny Phantom and the Red Huntress was on a mission somewhere in the state of New Jersey.

A truck filled with Fenton weapons had been highjacked before they had reached their buyers.

Considering the location the buyers could were must likely to be people working for LexCorp, Cadmus or a GiW safehouse. Vlad or the MasterBlasters would just pick up the delivery with their own people.

The weapons worried them both because according to the offical documents the cargo was only protective clothes and armour.

But in the in the internal Fenton Database the cargo would have been marked as F-clothes and F-armour (F-Fenton) but instead it was marked with a Project name and number which the details on the computer had then been deleted.

This only happened when the Project was truly messed up.

When even the Fentons realised (to a degree) that what they had created was messed up, that was bad.

They had found the truck turned upside down on one of the minor roads to the north west, checking the cargo the steel crate that should have been welded there had been ripped out, indicating superstrength.

We found the driver facedown a few hundred feet from the truck, dead, very cold to the touch and soaking wet, even though it had not rained for 2days.

They started looking around the truck for clues and they found footprints, heavy and large, custom?, made of metal considering the tracks on the soul. 

Red Huntress started following the Footprints as Danny stayed in the truck trying to feel the energy (if there was any) from the weapon, and while it was faint there was something that was very differnt to ‘standard’ ectoplasm or background radiation.

Red Huntress returned after a few minutes saying that the tracks lead to a river.

The thief propably escaped on a boat.

Danny: -I have the scent of the weapon.

They start flying, to the river, the scent or ‘voice’ goes to the south, they follow.

Valerie: -Do you have any clue what the weapon or whatever can be?

Danny is silent for a few moments.

Danny: -The best I have is some sort of enhancement.

Valerie: -Enhancement?

Danny nods.

Danny: -The Ectoplasm in the container should not be felt this much if it was the normal kid. It’s thicker, more concentrated. None of the fenton weapons I know would be able to use it. It would overload almost instantly.

Valerie ponders this.

Danny: -But it’s more than that.

Valerie looks at him.

Danny: -The machine that is in the crate, it’s custom. Whoever bought it must have paid premium. For a very specific purpose.

Ectoplasm that concentrated, it is very volatile.

Valerie ponders, something hits her.

Valerie: -Phantom..... HOW concentrated is it?

Danny looks like he really does not want to answer.

Valerie: -Danny.... she says more softly.

Danny: -..........20.

Valerie: - 20? 

She does not understand.

Danny: ‘sigh’ - Atleast 20 times as concentrated.

Valeries eyes are now very big, the she silently looks forward and increases her speed to just over half the speed of sound.

Danny silently follows.

Less then half an hour later they stop because the trail goes into a waterpump station that leads into a sewer.

The stench of the sewer is 77% there to even kill a ghost, luckily Valeries costume protects her.

They fly into so many forks in the road but Danny never even hesitates, left, left, right, straight, right, right, left.

They enter a corridor, and passes through a looked door that Danny Phase open.

And they enter, some sort of lab.

Everything is in dark blue light and colder then what you would expect.

 Lab Equipment covers the tables, High-tech guns- pistols, mini guns, something that looks like a missile launcher combined with a chonky assult rifle.

Large containers that seem to hold........ exo-suits? They are at the moment not lit so it’s hard to see who it could belong to.

While really interesting, they don’t see the package.

So they continue searching, room by room, storage- chemicals, storage -scrap metal, room filled with machines used for smithing.

And finally a large room that ones might have been used to store large amount of water incase of drought.

And there in the middle of it was a steel crate with the Fentonworks logo.

On the ground in front of it was several tools that have been used to start open the crate, on of the edged side had been ripped to a third of.

Seeing part of a machne that seemed to be softly pulsing.

The feeling of Ectoplasm was now very heavy putting both of the on edge.

Valerie had her gun out loaded and ready looking around for the thief Danny’s hand were glowing but the content of the crate  dulled his senses somewhat.

The sound of metal foot on rusted iron walkway was heard above them.

Valerie and Danny both flung themself to the side as energybeams started raining down.

Danny and Valerie aimed there own energybeams at the walkway, it hit and the person firing at them fell to the earth,loosing the energy weapon he was firing in his left hand but manages to hold the one in his right, landing on his feet was one of Gotham citiy’s more infamous citizens.

Mr. Freeze.

Standing over 2m tall in a black exo-suit and a dome helmet, completly bald with glowing cold eyes.

He opens fire, with his freeze gun (lol) this time.

The freeze beam is surpisingly fast.

It is aimed at Valerie but Danny flies in and takes the hit, allowing Valerie to fire at Freezes gun as Danny fazes through the ice.

Freezes gun goes flying, Valerie having hit him in his right hand, stomach and chest.

Danny flies and take the freeze gun.

Valerie keeps firing, forcing Mr. Freeze back.

He almost trips but goes low enough to pick up the energy weapon he dropped.

Danny ponders for half a second and decides to try something.

He pushes a bit of his own frreze power into the gun.

The differnce is dramatic.

The gun when fired by Mr.Freeze was a gentle stream.

When fired by Danny it was a Tsunami.

A second or two was enough to fill a third of the room in ice.

Mr.Freeze himself being stuck 4 meters up in the air almost completely covered in ice, only part of his dome and part of his left still functual arm.

He started to desperatly firing the weapon to try and hit them

They flayed a bit trying to avoid being hit, then one of the shots got into the partaly open crate.

Danny saw the crate started smoking, grabbed Valerie and phased through the nearest wall.

2 seconds later, 3 seconds later, 4 seconds later, 5 sec......

BOOM!!

The crate had exploded, Danny held on to Valerie scanning the ceiling in case of collapse.

When everything seemed to have calmed down they whent back into the room with Freeze.

There was not much left of the room.

The stench of Concentrated Ectoplasm was slowly burning away.

Mr. Freeze did not look to well but the ice seemed to have protected him somewhat together with the exo-suit and the angle kept him alive.

But unconscious they dragged him out of the ice, then his head dome fell of.

With his head still inside it.

A few stunned moments later, they start looking into the exo-suit and only find machinery.

They are just stand there looking essentially at a head in fishbowl.

They look at each other.

Valerie: -Call it in?

Danny: -Call it in.

They go back to the main lab area.

Put Freezes head on a table as Valerie calls it in to the others.

Danny looking around, not really wanting to get rid of the gun he considers keeping it as an ace in the hole.

He strolls around ending up in front of the larger unlit weapon containers trying to see whats inside of it since there is no light switch by them.

Then Costantine and the others arrive in a large very glowy green portal.

And the light fills the display case.

And Danny is in awe of what he sees inside of it.

Many tedious hours of catalouging would follow but Danny’s mind never really left what he saw, and he could not wait to take it for a spin.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is having DID like? Also what would you like to see in a character with DID? Lastly may I ask what is being autistic like, especially in terms of sensory processing disorders. I currently have an autism and DID headcanon for Tails and I want to write as accurately as possible. If this is too personal or uncomfortable you don’t have to answer.

I'm fine answering, I enjoy talking of my experiences a lot! Though I'll like to say something about DID is that it varies for everyone but do have similarities in all experiences.

For me, I lose track of time a lot cause I don't know the time most of the time. I alongside forget things very easily. I don't experience blackouts in memory often but I do experience a lot of grayouts which varies as well for each system. For some there's only Emotional Amnesia, No remembering the event at all, or only remembering it very tiny ways where things are in a way fuzzy or blurry.

Another thing is emotion bleeding, where in my case I tend to feel what the others at front feel. For example if one is overally hyper and energetic alongside happy I feel it as well or if one is having a breakdown or an overload, I feel it as well and get very stressed.

For systems who are autistic and have hyperfixations a lot while still in a toxic environment they often form introjects of things from that interest as often enough that is a comfort thing and can form to give a role of a protector, holder, and etc. For me, there's a LOT of STH introjects. There's way more than just those four Sonics.

I'll like to add that we're a Polyfragmented System as well, in the system there's over 100+ and our innerworld which is our co-conscious and where headmates go when not fronting, is very complex and large. We have a lot of doubles as well [Looks at the four Sonics] and fragments, fragments if you don't know are in a way not fully formed alters as they usually only have one or two traits and handle usually one or two very specific or simple tasks but they can grow over time to be a fully formed headmate.

We're often not alone in front either, there's usually a lot of co-fronting and co-conscious fronts going on with us [Many headaches]. For example, there'll be one or two protectors out during school along a task doer, such as helping with school work and etc while one headmate is the speaking voice [Which is usually me]. Sometimes I can see my body getting moved as well that isn't me moving it which I still not very normal for me to see.

Splitting for us happens in many ways as well, as some splits is getting memories transferred or others result in two or more alters that isn't what one was before the split. For us it's usually losing memories, pain, and so fourth but the other one does happen here and there.

Our sense of identity can be rough as well. Since sometimes we don't even know who's exactly in front, it'll usually always take a bit to narrow down. This also caused a lot of gender confusion and so on as well before my partner slapped me in the face about the DID information. There was times where I was even confused of our interests and such as well. It's very hard to figure things out.

Another thing is that Alters aren't always the same as the body. For example I myself is non-human. I'm a lamb, a plush like specifically. It causes some problems for me since my body isn't well, what I appear as in my exo-memories and in the innerworld. Speaking of exo-memories, some headmates have memories before they were well, formed in the system. Some memories can be similar to the trauma we faced, how we viewed their source, and etc. For me, my memories were often a very lonely and neglectful experience but at times it had amazing and beautiful things that I would long for to see again.

But that's all for my system experiences I could word in some way, now onto our autistic experiences. We're more on the high to medium support than the low support that many sees us as at 1st glance. We have very many sensory issues, especially noise and touch related alongside visual when it comes to light.

I usually love touch that contains hugs, cuddles, and so on but without warning or if you even barely touch me, I panic, I freak out. It's sudden and I at all didn't have enough time to prepare myself for touch. Though textures is a huge problem as well, I'm unable to eat most school food because of said textures, they make me feel overwhelmed and overstimulated. I'm very specific about textures I like cause of this.

Noise is also a big problem as well, I can't have very little noise or none at all and I can't have too much either. For example the no noise thing can fit when the power goes out cause everything that makes noise in the household needs a power source. Complete silence and very very stressing due to no noise. Or when there's so much noise that I can't function at all. I can't eat, take a sip of my drink, and even sometimes, I can't move my body at all until the noise stops. Sometimes in these cases my headphones helps me and gives me good noise that isn't the bad news. Though sometimes even my own headphones can overstimulate me such as when I 1st put them on with no noise playing. It panics me cause of the zero noise. Sometimes due to this I can only put my headphones on one ear.

Lastly, whenever I overstimulate I tend to shut down. No responses at all from me. I tend to curl up somewhere when this happens, I usually 1st bolt to the closest corner and curl up into a ball covering my ears and looking directly down as I panic. Most I can do during this is nod or shake my head and sometimes if I'm lucky, use my speech assistant on my tablet to speak. My friends if no one else that is fronting is unable to help often attempts to communicate to me to try and figure out how to help me such as bring items to me and so on. Though whenever a headmate that fronts is able to help me, they often try to smoothe me 1st before slowly and steadily moving the body to a safe place and try to help calm me and etc.

I hope this helps you understand these experiences better! I'm not the best at wording so if confused you can ask me once more on what confuses you!

11, 32 and J for Omen! For no reason.

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

omen is very often confused, and generally prioritizes different ways of handling it depending on the situation. there's a whole swathe of customs and social norms and references that are impenetrable to xem, and xe will just leave those as mysteries to be observed but not waded into. there's simply too many of them to bother with. if something is actively unfolding and xe doesn't understand what's going on or why it's happening, the best thing to do is sit back and observe

it's conversations that get tricky, and xe will pursue clarification to an exhausting level sometimes (yet another reason xe wouldn't do well under the vanguard. what do you mean you don't want your strike setup questioned until xe can accept all the reasoning for it). mostly xe wants to get at why something is being said to xem specifically - what is the relevance, why is this a part of the conversation. as soon as xe grasps a connection, xe backs off

32.  Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? 

not so much a story (xe isn't a story-teller and relates things a little too abruptly to be entertaining, though boon can and will prompt xem into relaying xyr experiences sometimes if they think it's valuable or interesting) but Many, Many Anecdotes about anything local xe has been observing. usually these are ranked by what xe has most recently been studying, proximity to their current location, and the season, and alien flora and fauna are of course also counted

not that most people want to hear about xyr latest findings on hive borer worm patterns when left unattended in the cosmodrome but -

J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?

I am excluding every oc from the canon plot at all times, to start with

I can't remember if I'd decided on omen being an AI before felwinter was revealed, but even before I'd conceptualized that, I definitely thought of xem with an emphasis on not acting like a typical exo. not needing to move or even idly fidget for very long times, eating and sleeping far less than usual. admittedly I don't even have a good reason for why omen sleeps at all, so perhaps it is some sort of hard-coded body requirement even without the threat of DER looming, or helping cycle all xyr systems and prevent sensory overloads...?

of course I am also stretching the seed of silver wings to fit my cool ideas, even if so much of it is not written out yet outside of tumblr and discord posts

this momentous yet transient plot object can fit so much weird shit in it!!!

but I didn't have to really bend history or canon events given how loose the timeline is. saying ishtar experimented with AI exos and having omen as an early dark age risen easily slots in

ATEEZ Theory TidBits Ep 3 - What did TREASURE EP 1: All to Zero contribute to the storyline?

Time for a mini-series! Here, I’ll be exploring a summary (we can do in-depth later) of how and what each album contributed to the storyline. I’ll be looking at the materials we got with the album, any special promotions or events of note, theories that were big in the fandom at the time, and so on.

Do keep in mind that the first album I was an ATINY for was TREASURE EPILOGUE: Action to Answer (aka the ‘Answer’ album, for those of you who only know albums by the title tracks, or the ‘blue’ Treasure album for those of you who only know them by the covers). Therefore, most of the things I talk about that came before the time I was an ATINY comes from random sources I’ve sighted and cobbled together in my brain from the internet, from past videos, and so on. 

I’m making this whole process sound much more exciting than it is. Really, I’m just staring at the videos and albums a lot. 

So, ATEEZ’s first album, All to Zero. The miracle album with only 430 first-day sales. 

In this post;

Materials included in the album

Additions to the storyline

Meaning of the album name

Track breakdown

Reactions from the fandom

Important motifs and storyline elements which were added

My perspective on the storytelling (from a screenwriting kid)

Quality of the album

Other important things to note

Conclusions

Zero to One was the foundational album for ATEEZ’s concept and storyline, yet was simple enough to not overwhelm the audience with the complexities of their concept, which was very new and unique at the time, like the time-travelling, universe-bouncing, Jekyll-and-Hyde Big Brother dystopian things.

Yup.

Full discussion below the line.

Materials included in the album

Not an exhaustive list, just the key things which contributed to the storyline.

The album itself (physical)

Videos; ‘Intro: Long Journey’ video, ‘Pirate King’ and ‘Treasure’ MVs, ‘Pirate King’ and ‘Treasure’ choreo videos, ‘Pirate King’ Halloween performance

All the regular things; performance vers. of MVs, member teasers for the abum, MV teasers, etc

ATEEZ logbook; roughly Episode 1-7

All the other contents groups pump out on a regular basis

A lot of fansigns (both pre and post-debut)

Additions to the storyline

The album was the introduction to the storyline for the fans. It established the group’s current position (in the desert), their goal (the Treasure), and their position in their journey - at the beginning. It also established their pirate concept and general story motifs, like the journey they were on, their positions on the pirate ship, etc. 

It also set everything up nicely for the later albums, especially TREASURE Ep 2 and TREASURE EPILOGUE. 

Overall, it didn’t do much, but it didn’t need to, and it was very smart of it to not try to establish everything. If it had tried to, it would have been overloaded and crowded, and full of crazy pirate shenanigans that no one would be able to understand. We need to remember that ATEEZ were a pretty unknown group, especially in Korea, and were coming from a relatively small and unknown company (KQ’s only other artist of particular note is Block B, under a sub-label). If ATEEZ had come exploding into the industry with all the power of time-travel-possession-dream-state-body-snatching-alternate-persona storylines, everyone would have freaked out. Also remembering that storylines weren’t as common at the time (notable groups being BTS, EXO, and Dreamcatcher), especially not for 4th gen groups. The smartest move for KQ was to have an album which established the storyline, but was simple and mainstream enough to gain ATEEZ fans before their later comebacks and more complex storylines. This move is comparable to SM debuting Aespa with ‘Black Mamba,’ a single which had relevance to the storyline but was more mainstream, before songs like ‘Savage’ and ‘Next Level,’ which were more complex story-wise and more experimental musically.

JYP should be taking notes for NMIXX. Not that that matters anymore.

Meaning of the album name

‘All to Zero’

All of the members have worked hard in the past - to become trainees, to grow, etc. Now, they all come together as a team (8 makes 1 team), and, together, all of their skills and past efforts are combined. Only together, with all of the work they have done before, can they finally reach the start line. They are now literally at ‘zero’ in a harsh industry, and are ready to move forward. 

Track breakdown

Intro: Long Journey - The big storyline one, established their concept, position, and goal, and well supplemented the rest of the album.

Treasure - Went into greater detail on ‘Intro: Long Journey,’ and established some choreo motifs. Was very important in the storyline, especially once ‘Precious’ was released.

Pirate King - The main one that everyone likes and listens to. The big takeaway? Hongjoong is the Pirate King.

Twilight - A cute little song which, 3 years later, was wonderfully mirrored by ‘Turbulence,’ but, at the time, didn’t have much of note.

Stay - The token ‘for the fans’ song of the album - I love you, let’s stay together, etc. Has storyline relevance and encourages ridiculously one-sided parasocial relationships - what more could I want?

My Way - Establishes their attitude - keep going, no matter what. This attitude would be later backed up by songs like ‘WIN’ and ‘Rocky.’

Reactions from the fandom

From what I can gather, there were no particular reactions to note. People liked it (the few people who actually stanned ATEEZ at debut), and found it unique in the world of kpop. Everglow with their pirate concept hadn’t debuted yet, and it would obviously be a long time before we saw NMIXX. Other 4th gen groups either hadn’t debuted, didn’t have a storyline yet, or were only just starting up as rookies, so ATEEZ’s storyline stood out, and, with their intense dedication to it, was a very fun and fresh concept which got them a lot of fans.

Important motifs and storyline elements which were added

The desert as a place of hardship

‘That place’

Utopia

The Treasure

Pirate concept

Positions on pirate ship (established HJ, YH, YS, S, MG)

Being shot

Being controlled

Hints to WY being a bit suspicious

The ATEEZ demon

The flag

‘ATEZ’ by HJ

The desert rovers/ATEEZ driving cars

Importance of weather

Twilight, day-night cycles etc

And many others

My semi-professional perspective of the storytelling, production and production values, etc

The album was a very smart introduction to the storyline - chill and professional. It was well-produced and high-value, especially for a smaller company. There were many good choices made which ensured the company got maximum value for their budget - shooting all three MVs in the same location and with the same props allowed more content for cheap, and key creative choices were made to make each one feel unique.

I already discussed how important I think it is that the storyline of the album was more contained, but it’s hard to emphasise how important this decision was - especially since we had next to no anticipation, as the next album was released about 3 months later.

IE - whoever was in charge of this album did a good job on everything, except perhaps marketing.

Quality of the album

I don’t know what to tell you - it was very good quality for the company’s size and as a first album for the group (I mean, just look at SEVENTEEN’s debut album if you want a comparison). Not to mention that it, and all ATEEZ albums, are bricks. I had a delivery once, and it got a bit bashed up. The TXT albums fell apart, but the ATEEZ one? Came out without a scratch. Those things are weapons.

Other important things to note

I dunno.

Conclusions

Great decisions were made at every level - to have a production team which was to go with the group through all of their albums, to let the members help with the album, to only introduce the barest bones of the concept and storyline, to reduce the budget in tactical ways, to have two title tracks, etc etc. I don’t think it’s a ‘perfect debut’ or ‘the best’ debut (contenders include TXT and Aespa), but it was a very good one and had a lot going for it.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO EXO COSMIA, ELPHELT VALENTINE. 🌑

ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;

name / alias: Blues age: 28 pronouns: they/he ooc contact: @au_deer on twittery  other characters in xc: Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu, Mithra, Shidou Kirisaki

ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;

name: Elphelt Valentine age: Unknown; physically somewhere in her 20s pronouns: she/her series: Guilty Gear canon point: post Xrd Sign app triggers: apocalyptic scenarios

personality:

Upbeat! Cheerful! Refined(?)! Elegant(?)! Elphelt is the embodiment of all this and more as… the perfect bride(???)!!!

… Okay, maybe she has a bit to go, but she's doing her best over here!

Elphelt's sunny attitude and abundance of energy alongside her delusions of romantic love can make her quite the handful. There isn't an adult safe from her fantasies, and while she'll never genuinely go through with the marriage if rejected, she'll certainly dream about it. Yes truly, her flights of fancy can get so fanciful they cross into the absurd, but not just for romance. Elphelt loves love, wishing deeply to experience it for herself.

She's not supposed to be able to feel love, you see, but recently she's found proof that maybe, just maybe… she can.

Despite her loopy tendencies, Elphelt can have a surprisingly grounded grasp on the world at times. She's an optimist, but she knows what it's like to go through hardships. Because of this, she never hesitates to extend a helping hand to others. Sure this might get her burned, but that's a price worth paying if it means someone else is saved!

something your muse struggles with: Controlling her emotions. A lot of experiences are still new to her and she feels many, many things strongly. She also tends to get far too attached too quickly and becomes very pushy

your muse’s greatest strength: Her empathy and willingness to help others. Elphelt's heart is big enough for everyone!

history / background:

Once upon a time, Elphelt did not exist…

… And then, one day, she did!

Valentines originate from the Backyard, a place of magic that exists behind the scenes. Created by her "mother" the Universal Will, Elphelt was imbued with a mission and released unto the world. That being said, she didn't know what the mission was, she only knew that she had to find someone and do something and that she had emotions for some reason.

Oh well! That just means that she got to live a normal life for a while. During this time, she ended up getting engaged to a death metal singer! Wow! Good for her! She was all set to be married, too, but on the day of her wedding, the partying became so intense that her programming overloaded and she realized who she was. Unfortunately, this meant she didn’t get married :(

But, she also didn’t want to follow her orders, so she next did her best to try and find Sol Badguy, but she ended up finding the wrong guy (Ky Kiske). Oh well. Said guy also happened to be the king of an entire nation so she was detained. However! She was able to correctly predict that her sister would be released and wreak havoc. That landed her in the position of having to help Sol, Ky, and the others in order to stop her. So, not wanting anyone to get hurt, she helped! After this, not all of them trusted her still (Sol) but at least she did the right thing and her sister was taken into custody.

After this, with Ramlethal (her sister) in custody, she and Sin (son of Ky, was also there to stop Ram) decided to help her have fun and feel more comfortable while in custody. Thanks to these efforts, Ram started to feel more emotions (yay!) but the fun couldn’t last…

The Conclave (the world’s government, full of bad guys) had decided to revive… Justice! (*crickets*) (please see the entirety of Guilty Gear’s backstory for why this is bad)

So, Elphelt, naturally, wanted to help them as well! She was placed as defense in order to fend off some of the attackers. All was going well, but then uh…

She kinda… had her programming reactivated? Revealing that she was actually a sleeper agent this entire time? And then, no longer feeling any of her kindness and empathy, she attacked everyone and nearly destroyed them all? And she was actually supposed to destroy all of humanity too???

Thankfully, Sol was able to stop her (and he said some really nice things too! Good job Sol). But, unfortunately, she ended up being kidnapped by her “Mother”, the Universal Will. Um… well, hopefully she’ll be okay.

(Spoilers: she was okay)

powers / abilities: 

Power Nullification: Elphelt is able to stop the power of her sister Ramlethal in its tracks. It’s currently unknown whether this ability would work on anyone else

Power Limit Removed: A state Elphelt enters where her fighting limiter is taken off. She becomes far stronger magically and physically, capable of being a threat to the world. Unfortunately, this also overrides her emotions and reverts her back to the cold, unfeeling programming most Valentines are known to have. Kind of a double edged sword.

inherent abilities: 

Valentine Composition: Elphelt isn’t exactly a human: she’s far stronger, faster, and capable of using magic

items / weapons: 

Guns: One time a while back, Elphelt broke into a research facility and stole a bunch of magical guns that fire powerful magical bullets. Due to their purpose of overriding magic nullification, they will generally work even when other types of magic would not

Ms. Traveiller: A shotgun. Has a bow on it!

Ms. Confille: A… something gun. Has a rose on it!

Handgun: unnamed, but it has a cute little clover charm on it!

Bouquet: A really big bouquet of roses that Elphelt keeps strapped to her back. It contains a plethora of weapons including:

Strawberry bombs

I think your exos deserve a whole feast~ A full English Breakfast for Anna-2, complete with a massive stack of pancakes and waffles and bacon and a load of cake! (aka the breakfast of champions) Ash-19 should get a huge assortment of hero sandwiches, overloaded nachos, a gigantic pizza, and enough soda to flood a city block! Mist-13 on the other hand, She deserves an entire feast all to herself! a massive display that makes even the biggest thanksgiving dinners a run for their money, complete with giant turkeys and gravy and stuffing! and for anyone left hungry afterwards, there's always blueberry pie and icecream~

Back to their binging, the three exos were happily surprised by the feasts brought over to them. Anna, still unawares from the blue spot spreading across her body, happily began to dig into the feast of wonderful breakfast foods in front of her. Waffles, bacon, pancakes, and so much more were happily eaten. Just like before, her body continued to grow bigger and bigger. However, now her body began to swell on its own as well, her belly swelling out with blueberry juice, along with a soft layer of blubber around it. The rest of her body mimicked this same growth, growing fuller of thick, syrup like blueberry juice, while the constant fattening foods putting layer upon layer of fat onto her figure.

Ash, meanwhile, began to get into a more gluttonous mood, helping herself to one sandwich after another, with a handful of nachos here and there, and a slice of pizza on top of that. Add in the sugary flow of soda, and no one would be surprised at what was causing her figure to balloon out with fat. The more and more she ate, the more and more her lower half would fatten up, eventually tearing holes in her pants and exposed more of her widening hips. Even her belly began to expand out, the sweet soda filling her gut and letting it swell up more and more! By this point, her belly sounded like a carbonated blimp, as the bloated Hunter continued to help herself to more and more of the junk food and soda.

Mist on the other hand, looked over the feast in front of her and happily started to eat forkfuls of turkey and stuffing. Unlike the other two, Mist's figure likely fattened up even faster, the heavy foods leading to the Titan getting layer upon layer faster than her Hunter counterpart. Though, Mist seemed to be slowly but surely eating her way through the feast, relaxing and savoring it while only letting her gluttony lead the way every now and then. However, the Titan would quickly blush if she could as she heard her shirt tear open, feeling her belly jiggle and push out in front of her.

Back to Anna, the growing warlock let out a soft moan as she felt her body continue to grow fat and full of juice, only to turn over to the blueberry pie and ice cream with a gleeful and greedy eye. reaching over and helping herself to a slice, the Warlock blushed as she felt her body begin to swell faster, quickly starting to round out again as she ate slice after slice, not noticing her Titan friend taking the ice cream and eating it herself. Now there were two huge exos, side by side to a big, blue ball of blueberry syrup and blubber. Though, they could probably eat more if anyone offered~
