These intros might change in the future to keep up with the game's lore progress tbh.

🟥 I prefer the three lines banter of mk11 tbh, sure it takes more time to work on due to the pose but Mk1's two-line talk is a bit short and the long pause afterwards is kinda awkward when two characters just stare at each other while the arena loads 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

🟥 didn't realize how fcked up the anatomy was until i was done with it 🐸

I don't think I've experienced media like this before

Air BnB here. A few questions for ya! 1) Prax can't sing to save his life when drunk...how about when sober? 2) If Eli directed his own play, which source material would he adapt and who in Night Raven would he cast for the parts? 3) Who burps the loudest of your gods? 4) How often does Skim tease Mike's kinks when Prax isn't around? 5) What would your TW OC's dress up as for Halloween? 6) Reno and Monopoly. Do with that what you will. XD

1. Prax does not have a very good singing voice, in general...Mike, however, DOES have a decent voice. As does Bela, but you already knew this. ;) 2. Oooooh...oh, honestly, that sounds like a fic idea right there. XD I'll give TWO answers, and cover just a couple of the primary roles in each. One is Shakespeare's Scottish play (you know the actual title). I headcanon that as Eli's favorite classical play...partially because it is MY favorite classical play. :P And presuming we have guys playing all the roles: I would say Leona as MacB, Vil as Lady M, Malleus as Malcolm, the Prefect as Macduff (because I'd want the Prefect to be in the play), and Ruggie as Banquo. (That would give Leona SUCH pleasure, knowing he finally gets to have the hyena killed onstage; that'll show him for making fun of the weight the lion's gained!) And yes, obviously, in THIS headcanon, the Prefect is a male...or a gal playing a guy's part, I suppose. :P The other play would be a musical: "Phantom of the Opera." Alongside "The Scarlet Pimpernel," that is Eli's favorite musical. Without question, Malleus would play the Phantom: there is frankly no other cast member better suited to that role. The Prefect would play Christine, and Jack would play Raoul (because that seems both ironic and oddly fitting at the same time). I'd say Vil would play Madame Giry, Epel would be Meg Giry (much to his aggravation), Riddle would be Carlotta, Rook would be Piangi, and PERHAPS Ace and Deuce would probably be The Managers, because we need a comedy duo. Not sure though, because I can also totally see Azul as one of them. XD 3. Bela. (pauses) I hope you weren't expecting a different answer, because...you should know me, and it's Bela. :P 4. I'm pretty sure he makes it his sworn duty to tease our oddball detective at least twice a day, when able. Thrice if he's working overtime, once daily if he's decided to take a vacation. ;) 5. Well, presuming they all chose their own costumes and not a dorm event type thing...Elias would probably just turn into the Phantom Blot and call THAT his costume. He doesn't need any other. Billy would probably dress up as a giant pink bunny (yes, you are allowed to smile at that), Nakoda would dress up in a ninja-type getup (think Reptile or others from Mortal Kombat), and Reno would dress up as a skeleton in a tuxedo. (Because OH, THE DELICIOUS IRONY.) 6. ...I think you just described the Apocalypse. 'O_O'

Somehow I forgot to post Giri's Mk11 ending I made back in 2020 here

It's interesting that it also involved Geras' assistance in aiding the new time God.

Yes I do love shipping my oc with a canon character that has massive chemistry with another canon character because nothing beats the thrill of The looming terror of being canonically obliterated .
