Mini Fanfic #1177: The Rascal And Me (Guilty Gear Strive)

Nagoriyuki, a mysterious, noble samurai, has been traveling on foot for as long as he can remember with one goal in mind: to keep his vampiric side under complete control while finding inner peace within himself.

The journey so far isn't without It shares of the unexpected Turns of events however: Ranging from encountering new faces, going toe-to-toe against a few formidable opponents, and to work under the likes of Happy Chaos and I-No against his will. It was more or less a hectic ride for him to endure for sure, but it certainly wasn't anything he couldn't handle on his own.

But instead of continuing his lonesome path of the unknown, he is now currently located at the Ajatar Hunting Ground, sitting next to the sleeping young woman named Elphelt Valentine.

Nagoriyuki: (Well, Nagoriyuki, this is far from the worst predicament you've gotten yourself dragged into, but it is still just as much troublesome as you hoped it wouldn't be. Why on the Greenest part of Earth do you always managed to run into that rascal of a woman, let alone having her drag you into this "marriage" nonsense she always speak so highly of)

Nagoriyuki let's out a relaxed Sigh.

Nagoriyuki: (But I suppose it can't somewhat be helped. The power of Love could make even the most simplest of beings, do crazy things, at least from what I've heard.)

Nagoriyuki looks down at Elphelt still sleeping and hugging onto his lap.

Nagoriyuki: (Though, I'll admit, she does look rather peaceful when she sleeps. Almost adorable even.) (Eyes Starts to Widened Before Groan and Shaking his Head a Bit) (What am I even saying right now? This woman has been chasing me nonstop since the first time we've met, claiming she wants to "marry" me, and yet here I am thinking she's cute? What sort of madness is this!?)

'Bit of Silence'

Nagoriyuki: (Takes a Deep Breath) (Then again, she's far from being one of the craziest faces I've encounter thus far, hell, i even ended up becoming friends with one of them somehow. And I suppose she doesn't mean any ill-will on the things she do.....But why me of all of people? I'm fond of romance as much as the next being in the world, but I wouldn't exactly call myself the most interesting man on the planet, or as young folks would say...."A catch". Am I that attractive to her? Is there some sort of charming aura she sees in me that I don't? Or maybe-)

Before the vampire ssmurai could finish asking himself a few more questions within his deepened thoughts, the soft sound of yawning suddenly catches his attention as he looks down to see Elphelt Valentine stretching her arm up and wiping her eye a bit, finally waking herself up.

Elphelt: Good morning, Nagi dear~

Nagoriyuki: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) (Nagi?) (Clears His Throat Before Going Back to his Stoic State) It's the afternoon actually.

Elphelt: (Giggles Softly) Oho, right!~ Silly me~ (Softly Knock on Top of Her Head While Sticking her Tongue Out)

Nagoriyuki: Your oddness has no bounds today, woman. ('Sigh') So, I take it that nap yours helped you feel better now?

Elphelt: (Happily Nodded) Yep!~ Feeling more energize than ever before! (Hugs Nagoriyuki's Arm) And I have you to thank, for that my sweet darling~

Nagoriyuki: What for? All I ever did was watch over you.

Elphelt: (Giggles Softly) That's exactly what I'm thanking you for, silly!~ You took the time out of your schedule to look after me when I started getting tuckered out. Even after I.....(Starts Frowning a Bit) annoyed you....

Nagoriyuki: (Notices the Change of Mood in Elphelt's Face and Tone) Is something matter?

Elphelt: ('Sigh') It's nothing too major. (Looks Up at the Blurle Skies) I just feel bad for bothering you with my usual marriage shenanigans again. I'm sorry....

Nagoriyuki: (So I assumed correctly....) (Simply Nodded) It's fine, but i must ask.

Elphelt: (Turns Back to the Samurai) Hm?

Nagoriyuki: What is it about the concept of marriage that intrigues you to begin with?

Elphelt: (Eyes Immediately Begins to Sparkle as She Smiles Excitedly by the Question Given to Her) Oh my gosh, where to even start!?~ The sweet, touching proposal from sides, the wedding plannings, the preparations amd main event of the wedding itself, years of developing a small or large family among themselves while building your very own legacy for your younglings to protect and nurture in the distant future....(Clasps her Hands Together Lovingly) And whenever it's time to your bodies and souls to pass and lay rest, you and your destined love one will get to live the rest of eternity in the astral planes of afterlife!~ (Happily Squeals While Flailing her Arms Up in Down)

Nagoriyuki: (Felt a Sweatdrop Coming Down his Forehead) Right......(Such a thorough answer indeed.....) And what possesses you to be interested in me of all people? I wouldn't exactly call myself the most romantic man this world has to offer-

Elphelt: (Angrily Points at Nagoriyuki) BLASPHEMY!! YOU'RE 100% ROMANTIC AND HUSBAND MATERIAL!!

Nagoriyuki: (Taken Aback by Elphelt's Suddenly Outburst) H-How so?

Elphelt: Isn't it obvious? You're strong, patient, well mannered, a sweetheart when you want tobbe, and ohh so handsome~ I dunno about anyone that cares, to me, all of these wonderful qualities proves that YOU SIR!! Are you Mighty Full Package!!!

Nagoriyuki: (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) "Full Package".......Don't you mean "A Catch"?

Elphelt: Full Package, Catch, their the same as tomatoes and tomaatoes- (Grab Onto Nagoriyuki's Shoulders) THE POINT IS! You're an amazing man in my eyes, Nagoriyuki! And it makes me so happy to know that I've fallen head over heels for you~

Nagoriyuki: (Eyes Begins to Widened and Starts Blushing For the Very First Time in Ages) I.....see ('Clears Throat') Well, as flattering as all of this is, have you ever considered on taking the first steps in this romance ritual of ours? We still have yet to know anything about one another and-.

Elphelt: (Eyes Begins to Widened at The Realization) That's right.....We barely know each other at all!

Nagoriyuki: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) That's.....Exactly what I just said-

Elphelt: (Quickly Shushes Nagoriyuki By Gently Placing her Finger on his Lips) I know, honey, let me start analyzing for a bit, 'kay?

Nagoriyuki let's out a single groan before letting the self proclaimed Rascal dwell in her own thoughts process.

Elphelt: (Crosses her Arms While Walking Around in a Mini Circle) Now, as wonderful as romance is in concept, being in a committed relationship takes time, effort, support, and a whole lot of communication between two parties involved. It'll take a while.....(Stops Walking and Turns to the Samurai With a Determined Smile on her Face) BUT! If we take the time to give our newly found relationship an honest, nurturing shot, then maybe, JUST MAYBE, eventually, it could be strong an healthy enough for one of us to propose, get married....(Clasps her Hands While her Eyes Starts Sparkling Again) We could have a fulfilling future ahead of us~ (Immediately Comes Back to Reality Before Giving Nagoriyuki a Sheepish Smile) I-If that's okay with you, of course.

Nagoriyuki: (Stares at the Young Woman For a Brief Second Before Giving her a Single Nod) Hm. Very well. I'll accept this ordeal, only if you agree to keep this in a slower pace. Or at least slow enough for to understand this completely.

Elphelt: (Happily Gives Nagoriyuki a Thumbs Up) You got yourself a deal, 'hon!~

Nagoriyuki: (Simply Nodded Again) Good. Thank you, um.....What's your name again?

Elphelt: Elphelt Valentine!~ Lover of all romance, weddings, and metal rock mus- ('GAAAAAASPS') WAIT!

Nagoriyuki: (Taken Aback by Elphelt's Suddenly Outburst Again) What is it?

Elphelt: Nagi, what time is it?

Nagoriyuki: (Looks Up at the Ray of Light Slowly Moving on the Sundial in the Mid Distance) Well.....According to this sundial, I believe the current time is around.....4:33 central-

Elphelt: (Eyes Widened as She Place her Hands onto Both her Cheeks in Pure Horror) 4:33!? MY REHEARSAL WITH MY BAND STARTS IN A FEW MINUTES!!

Nagoriyuki: Right. I forgot you starred in a band of some kind.....

Elphelt: (Happily Nodded) Yep! The Speothos Venaticus!~ A lovely rock group that is formed by some of the most talented, gnarlious musicians known to- (Starts Getting Frantic Again) Ohhhhh WHAT am I doing explaining all of this!? I have to get outta here before our band manager freaks out again-

Nagoriyuki: Halt! Before you take your leave, I suggest you take this with you. (Gives Elphelt a Mini Shaped Box)

Elphelt: (Gasps at the Box in Question) A Bento Lunch Box?~

Nagoriyuki: (Simply Nodded) Correct. Right after you took your nap, I took it upon myself to make a quick detour around town and make you lunch, just in case you get close to starvation.

Elphelt: (Eyes Starts Soarkling Yet Again) You're too good for meeeeee!~

Nagoriyuki: (Sighs While Rolling his Eyes) Yes, yes, how romantic and kind of me to do so. Now, off to your rehearsals now.

Elphelt: (Immediately Gets Herself Back on Track) Right! On my way! But before I do that.......

Nagoriyuki: ('Groans a Bit) For God's sake, woman, what reason do ypu have for delaying your travels now-

Before the vampire ssmurai could finish his sentence, the cheerful rockstar softly lowers his head down close to her and plants a soft kiss on his forehead, leaving him more flustered than previously.

Nagoriyuki: What did you.....

Elphelt: (Giggles Softly) Just giving my cute boyfriend a goodbye kiss before I take my leave~

Nagoriyuki: (Stares at Elphelt For a Brief Second Before Turning Away a Bit) Honestly, woman. I'm a samurai warrior. I am far from being as cute as you are- I-I mean- ('Sighs in Defeat') Forget I say anything.

Elphelt: (Giggles Some More) Okay, whatever you say~ (Gives Nagoriyuki a More Sincere Smile) But seriously though, listen, I know this whole romance and relationship thing is new for the both of us right now to get used to for now, but please just give it chance, Nagi dear, I promise the journey itself will be worth both our while yours especially-

Nagoriyuki: Nagoriyuki.

Elphelt: Hm?

Nagoriyuki: My name. It's Nagoriyuki, just in....case you were wondering.

Elphelt: (Stares at her Boyfriend For a Brief Second Before Smiling Brightly) What lovely name you got there, my dear darling-

Nagoriyuki: Rehearsal?

Elphelt: RIGHT! RIGHT! GOTTA RUN! LOVE YOU, BYEEEEEE!~

Elphelt finally zips herself out of here, leaving the samurai to lonesome once more.

Nagoriyuki: (Takes a Very Deep Breath Before Taking a Sip of his Cup of Tea) What am I going to do with that adorably obnoxious rascal.....

Sometimes a group of OCs is a Symphonic Metal Visual Kei band very influenced by Versailles called Rose Cross Descendance where the singer and bassist are in a gay relationship together.

To get more specific: Tresor Beauregard-- alternatively known as the "Rose King"-- is a high ranking noble vampire from over 200 hundred years ago. Thanks to a specific event in history that caused his father, Louis Beauregard, to be killed in cold blood, he doesn't quite have the highest opinion of humans. He's very slowly getting better about it though, kind of comes with his prideful personality. He's the lead singer/vocalist.

Next up is Edgar Legende-- also known as the "Diamond Knight"-- the group's bassist. Like his lover, he was also born of noble blood. Unlike Tresor however, he's far from proud of it and had ran away when he was a young teen. In part because his parents were pretty far from the kindest to him. Despite all of that, he's a kind and gentle soul, always trying to see the best in others with very few exceptions.

For the last three, I haven't done official drawings/renders, so you'll have to put up with various picrew images. Hope that's not too much of a downer.

With that said, here's Joanne Jett-- also known as "Shinigami" one of the group's guitarists. She's a punk tomboy who tends to not take shit from anybody. Backstory's still a bit of a WIP.

The other guitarist is Angelique, her stage name being "Holy Maiden". Essentially she's an angel who basically tripped and fell out of Heaven one day and just decided to stick around on Earth because it's far better than the hive mind up there. She's very much the big sister of the group, always looking out for them and generally being the most capable in stuff like cooking and the such.

And last but not least, the drummer Blade Murasaki-- also known as the "Oni Warrior". He's a demon-blooded samurai who was seeking a purpose in life prior to meeting Tresor and Edgar. He originally introduced himself as only being known by the name of his blade, but thanks to wires being crossed, he ended up getting the name he now has. Not exactly the most talkative of the group, generally being the most silent and stoic. Though he does have a gentle heart underneath all of that.

(I am incredibly sorry for how long this ask ended up being, I just had a lot to say.)

they all sound like a fun group and they're all so interesting!

Author's Note: Below I have given the Japanese legend that inspired this story of mine. The samurai is Marius, while Jubokko is Armand. And there is an honorable mention for Daniel. Thank you to those who read!

The Jubokko

According to folklore, this vampire tree appears in former battlefields where many people have died and its appearance does not differ that much from ordinary trees. The Jubokko becomes a yōkai tree by sucking up large quantities of blood from the dead and it lives on human blood. When a human being happens to pass by, it supposedly captures the victim and, changing its branches into the shape of a tube, sucks the blood out of the victim. A Jubokko that sucks life out of human beings in such a way is said to always maintain a fresh appearance. When a Jubokko is cut, blood trickles out. It is said that a Jubokko branch could heal and decontaminate an injured person.

-The samurai and the vampire jubokko-

Samurai fight with honor. Respect to the enemy and death with dignity. Samurai fight calmly, like the waters of a lake caressed by a dragonfly, they fight with serenity in spirit, like the wind in the foliage of trees, they fight with serene hearts, never touched by doubt or fear. A samurai lives in the way of the samurai and honors the spirits of the warriors who were. Always those who were remain on that path, to lead with their deeds and fortitude. Serenity of spirit, peace of soul, strength in justice, their sword serving the weak. Righteous men, they set respect and perseverance as their life choice. All this resonated in Marius' heart. His family had always been part of the noble caste of warriors. The way of the samurai had been instilled in him since he was a child, his proud and elegant father instructing Marius with perseverance and care as Marius trained in the art of the sword. Or he would watch Marius, silent and focused, as he sat side by side, teaching Marius shodo, the art of writing, or cha no yu, the art of tea.

A samurai was trained not only in the art of the sword, but in all disciplines that made him a complete warrior. In body as in spirit. Be water and let everything flow. And so Marius let his katana, flowing, swift and relentless, enemies fell around him. That great battle had turned into a massacre. The samurai knew no dishonor, they preferred death to the latter. Despite the piled corpses, the unbearable smell of blood metal hugging the ground, the screams, Marius could only hear a ringing in his ears. He had lost, in the midst of the battle Nobu, his steed that had strayed away, after Marius had dismounted from his rump. Marius wished that Nobu could take him away, from there, before his eyes lay a sea of red, men with severed limbs, outstretched hands standing still in the time of death, broken swords and torn armor, himself, had lost his helmet, and was fighting barefaced. His long blond hair had turned from forearm down, red, from the blood of those who had met his katana. His face was covered with a faint soot and the blood of enemies, dripping down the face onto his neck. Blue eyes the only sign that identified him as human and not demon. After a moment, a blink, the din of battle hit him again. Marius moved following the wave of battle, cleanly cut off the head of an enemy who had charged him, knocked down a horse, to drag his rider to the ground, and finish him off with a blow to the throat. Marius continued to fight, until, he heard silence, and his katana began to slip from his two hands because of the blood covering it. All was silence around him, and only the sound of the wings of the crows, who were already feasting death-lovers, reached him. It was at that moment that Marius realized that around him corpses lay in a forest. Exhausted, he dropped his armor to the ground, and was left with his kimono, soaked with the blood that had penetrated from the armor. Circumspect, he strained to listen, but the battle had lost all protagonists and there was nothing left but the blood of the losers and the glory of the victors. At that moment a noise made his skin crawl, something horrible was near him, something devious and terrifying. It was at that moment and never in the battle that Marius' heart faltered, at that moment that he feared he could not keep his promise to the violet-eyed boy, his love, who was waiting for him.

That noise was like the noise thirsty men make when they drink with gusto and need, but it was darker that sound, macabre beyond words. Following that noise with his eyes Marius saw the roots of a black tree, tangling around the corpses, drawing them to himself, and extracting their lifeblood, which was their blood. That chilling noise was the tree feeding on the last spasms of life of the warriors. From the black trunk, red flowers sprouted that looked like bloody hands, the more intense the noise became, the more beautiful and bright with life the flowers became. Marius was stunned, something inside him screamed to escape but his legs did not move and his eyes were filled with that bright red. Something caught his attention, in all that red, black eyes were staring at him, set in skin like the finest of pearls. A red-haired creature with the features of a boy was staring at him, leaning lasciviously against the hard trunk. Its smile was cruel but its eyes seemed sweet, lying, Marius corrected himself in his thoughts. At that moment the creature burst into laughter, the thick auburn hair falling back from his shoulders. With a delicate grace, it stood before Marius, who stared into its black eyes, which glittered gold.

"But look, you're still standing, unbelievable."

The creature's words reached Marius but the latter's lips did not move to utter them. They remained tight in a mischievous smile.

" I have someone to return to...a promise to keep."

For the first time Marius felt fatigue, but was affected by it in a different way.

" Mh, it's a pity you won't be able to keep it." It was the creature's words that sent a cold shiver running down Marius' body, and with clarity Marius sensed the truth behind those words.

" I must maintain it." Fatigue gave way to pain, and without needing to look, Marius clearly sensed the warm river running down his body: blood. The creature licked its lips with a swaggering smile. Marius, he was dying, he was wounded, he was dying. His cobalt-blue eyes shone under the moon, he looked around him at the mangled bodies, drained and thrown away as one does with damaged goods. A new determination was born in his warrior heart.

"I will die, but you.... You will die with me."

The creature's eyes widened and a low, hoarse hiss rumbled through the forest.

" Fearful and foolish, nothing more than a man."

And the creature pounced on Marius. Marius dodged the first blow, which was parried by the hilt of the katana. The creature bent its head to the side and seemed to regard that samurai with new eyes. They turned around, the creature attacked again, and Marius pushed it back again. The creature's claws sank into Marius' forearm, but his katana sank into the creature's flesh. Infuriated by that affront, the creature shrieked, but its blood immediately stopped gushing, the wound as if it had never existed. Marius stared at the scene in disbelief and pain. The auburn-haired creature sneered and uncovered sharp white teeth, similar to those of wild animals. Marius did not flinch; instead, he repositioned himself in a fighting posture. The creature stared at him in puzzlement.

" You are going to die anyway." Were his words.

"So be it. But you with me." Was Marius' reply.

" You cannot kill me....human..... Nothing can." retorted the creature. And still they clashed, and still they fought in the night. Marius never flinched and always placed his honor and determination before him. When by this time the morning birds began to make their song audible, the creature had a fit of rage, a too hasty attack, what a samurai is trained to perceive in the warrior before him. Marius' katana pierced the beautiful auburn-haired creature, who fell into Marius' arms. Marius exhausted, but aware of the approaching death, wanted to wait for the sun, and held the creature in his arms with delicate shrewdness.

" I will be reborn you know? I cannot die. I will be reborn from the tree. And your death will be in vain."

Said the creature in disbelief at the kindness and fortitude of that samurai. Never had he seen such love spring from death.

"But you cannot be reborn at least for a little while.... And I can hope that in that time you will realize how unnecessary this cruelty is. How possible it is to try to pursue the good, even if we are persecuted by our demons."

The creature remained silent, then brought its eyes, strangely gentle toward Marius.

" You said you have someone you want to return to?"

" Yes I do. But I can't and he will have to accept this choice of mine and live the rest of his life happily."

" I can make you keep your promise."

Marius brought his gaze to the creature.

" What curse would you like to propose to me?"

The creature laughed.

" None. I can cure you with the power of blood. And you will live and return to him. But... If I grant you this, you must grant me your company.This is my request. That you return to me when I am reborn and that you will stay. You will spend the summer with your mortal love and the winter with me. And perhaps, you will teach me what this love is for which men are willing to kill or die."

" If I accept. Who says I will keep my word?" Marius asked, with a smile on his face .

" I know. You cannot lie to me, and if you tried, your heart could not equally."

Months passed, and the red flowers blossomed again on the black trunk. Bodies had returned to the earth and nature had reclaimed its space. Marius returned with the first snow to the foot of the tree, he had been reunited with his love, Daniel, and now he was returning to fulfill another promise, made to a frightened creature alone and wounded. When the red blossoms glittered gold in the night, the auburn-haired creature appeared, and Marius was there waiting for their footsteps to beat to the rhythm of their hearts, it was sweet and it was the beginning of an endless love.

I need to know what movies you all think Nandor and Guillermo watch on their movie nights.

We need to compile a To Watch list for them. Here are my submissions:

Fly Away Home--they both deny crying when Anna Paquin flies with the geese in her hang-glider but won't stop talking about the cute goslings. Guillermo tries to teach Nandor that that's the word for them, not "goose ducklings", but Nandor insists that that was Jeff Bridges and Ryan Gosling was nowhere to be seen

The Last Samurai and The Last of the Mohicans--Nandor likes 90s movies about warriors but they were both bored by Braveheart

Guillermo has tried to get Nandor to watch Interview With The Vampire (1994) with him, but Nandor got up and left 20 minutes in when he insisted "this is nothing like real vampires!"💔

Nandor did like Die Hard and Point Break, so Guillermo agreed to sit through all of both of them with him

They both liked Evita (1996); Guillermo worried about adequately hiding his crush on Antonio Banderas but Nandor was distracted by fangirling over Madonna, and they both spent the next 2 weeks singing the songs around the house

Nandor likes newer Godzilla movies, especially the Japanese ones, but won't watch King Kong (1933) or any of the remakes because he cries when "the noble great beast with the heart of a lover" dies

Nandor once walked in on Guillermo watching High School Musical and when Guillermo tried to hide it out of embarrasment, Nandor joined in and liked it more than Guillermo. Now he doesn't shut up singing the songs and it drives Guillermo insane.

I wanna hear yours. Go!

Trying (and failing) to brainstorm this samurai RPG campaign and I distracted myself reminiscing over this old ass campaign I ran in college in what was supposed to be my original fantasy western dust bowl setting that I never really got to build out nearly as much as I had wanted. The party consisted of

a young "samurai" fleeing a civilwar in his homeland, having lost his lands and title without ever properly come of age, he'd never seen war and was helpless to defend his lands from the peasant revolts that uprooted his family and their retainers and scattered them to the wind. He was technically also sort of a confederate soldier analog, to play into the wild west theme. He was very Katsushiro (Seven Samurai). A high pretense of valour and propriety with very little practical experience to back it up.

A potbellied cardshark, multiclassed artificer/rogue. Very much a Charlie Daniels Midnight Train grifter crossed with countless other wild west goons, with a little bit of Han Solo for good measure. He was constantly at odds with the not-samurai over ethical matters.

A menopausal emptynester tabaxi ranger Having lost her husband and seen all her children to adulthood, she was embracing a kind of second wind at having nothing left to hold her down to see the world. One part awkward tourist wine aunt, and one part rustic skilled hunter/tracker turned bounty hunter. She was also a little flirty and a tease, especially with younger men, so a bit of a cougar.(pun fully intended)

A mysterious dysphoric and amnesiac princess who insisted she was trapped in an unfamiliar warforged body. She was frequently embarrassed by her appearance and lack of coordination. She was a weird sort of bootstrapped mix of the NPC pseudo-class of Noble and Monk/Fighter that the player and I whipped together to account for her mental/social skills being different from her physical skills and capabilities. She and the not-samurai took to ballroom dancing together in their spare time, as it reminded them both of their last lives, and helped the princess hone some of her coordination in her robot body.

Oh and an insane gnomish prospector warlock guided by the literal spirit of gold itself to wander into the wilds of this lawless dust bowl to find treasure. I honestly sort of forgot about him...

There was also my DMPC lizardman paladin who'd been imprisoned by the magic school that had monopolized magic in the region and also was basically just a pyramid scheme. Theyd promise to teach people magic if they could pay their dues and enforce the school's monopoly on magic by apprehending/disposing of/recruiting unaffiliated magic users. He used his own broken slave chains as versatile flails/gauntlets.

And along with a small crew of largely nondescript NPCs that I never got to flesh out, they lived on a steamboat chugging along the lone river cutting thru the region. Due to the presence of a giant magical sandstorm all semblance of law and order had been lost in the region and so the party had been deputized by an eccentric philanthropist trying to remap and govern the territories lost to the storm.

Due to the magnetic particles of the storm as well as it's latent magical properties and just the sheer magnitude of the storm as a sand storm, compasses no longer worked, magic of all forms had become wild, the steampunk machinery with it's primitive and exposed mechanisms were prone to jamming, and the landscape itself was prone to change as landmarks and whole manmade settlements were buried overnight by the storm.

Oh and roving gangs of vampires began "riding" the storm, hiding themselves in the shadow of the storm where the sun couldn't penetrate to roll from settlement to settlement.

I miss that party

Heike: Went as Kuchisake-onna, and SLAYED !! The makeup looked very realistic that even the others were concerned- but also went as Tanjiro to carry Kaya around :>

Mad Clown: went as a monochrome version of himself, okay goodnight

Narcis: Forced to be Senpai from FNF, to his chagrin- but was going to go as a prince. “Eugh.. I suppose this is.. alright.”

Hoy: Went as a jiangshi, and kept popping out of nowhere to startle the others. “Ho ho! someone’s a lil jittery today!”

Rick and Nick: both went as Ogres, with a lot of Shrek jokes thrown at them- “SHUT UP ABOUT MY SWAMP-!”

Dracula as D&D

Special thanks to Stavarosthearcane, who came up with this on discord, and figured out most of the picks.

The gist being, how would our intrepid vampire-hunting polycule shake out as an actual D&D party?

well, let’s go down this list, by order of introduction. Apologies for using the Coppola Dracula gifs, but it’s the version that has everybody.

Johnathan Harker

Our dear friend, the sweet, sweet boy. Health and sanity almost ruined beyond repair by his escape from Castle Dracula. But as we discovered this year, he’d survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around him. Nothing would keep him away from Mina, and his intensity upon learning the Count was after her was enough that it spooked his fellow hunters at times.

But, even before that, from the telegram that revealed he’d lived

He came in the train from Klausenburg, and the guard was told by the station-master there that he rushed into the station shouting for a ticket for home. Seeing from his violent demeanour that he was English, they gave him a ticket for the furthest station on the way thither that the train reached.

well, rather narrows the options, doesn’t it?

Mr. Johnathan Harker is a Barbarian on the Path of the Zealot, his rage coming from his absolute “When Mina comes for me as a vampire I will go willingly” devotion to his wife, with the Haunted One background to reflect he has SEEN THINGS.

Mina Harker, nee Murray

The glue that holds this rampaging polycule together, and after the Professor, the smartest person in the entire party. that the entire book is the work of her research and transcription is proof enough of her proper class: Bard, College of Lore. To replicate her status as The Train Fiend (and her plans to be Johnathan’s secretary), Mina gets the Izzet engineer background, and its Urban Infrastructure feature. I am of course, open to better ideas

however, Mina is also multiclassing. Not by choice, as Dracula forces levels of Undead Warlock upon her, to make her like him. Why warlock? Because I’m reskinning eldritch blast as “give Mina a gun”. Mina also gets the ‘Watchers’ Dark Gift forced upon her, which is mostly of benefit to Dracula, but reflects how she learns to turn it against him a few times each day.

Dr. Jack Seward

A man of rationality, Dr. Seward has no time for magician’s parlor tricks, for his is the science of the mind. However, as we learn, he has quite the storied career before being put in charge of a sanitarium, and well versed in the sort of antics the professor gets up to. At the same time, when the impossible rears its head, Sweard is the one who immediately suspects mere madness or foul play rather than the unnatural, even from his own mentor

Dr. Seward is an Inquisitive Rogue, with the sage background

Quincy P. Morris

The Cowboy, whose solution to every problem is “Gun”, or failing that, “Knife”. Amongst the party of smart people, it’s obvious he graduated from Fighter Community College. But despite his affectations, he is no mindless brute. he is a gentleman who knows how to navigate the viper’s den that is Victorian High Society with aplomb, and his fighting spirit is second to none.

And, in the vein of Akira Kurosawa to Sergio Leone, Mr. Morris is a Samurai Fighter, with the Outlander background

Arthur Holmwood, the Honorable Lord Goldalming

there are several options for the man Lucy loved the most, and I was leaning bard (college of eloquence), but as Stavarosthearcane pointed out to me, when facing a monster with dominion over rats, it’s Arthur who planned ahead by bringing rat-catching terriers

Arthur is a Beastmaster Ranger (the poor bastard), but his real utility is the Inheritor background, which in addition to becoming the Noble background (with Position of privilege), comes with the Bruce Wayne levels of wealth needed to bankroll our newly made vampire hunters

Professor Abraham Van Helsing, M. D., D. Ph., D. Lit., etc., etc.

Older and experienced in the unusual, Van Helsing is spoiled for choice on what class to take and has almost certainly multiclassed. So, I will presume that, like Mina, he also started as a bard in the College of Lore, before becoming a cleric in the knowledge domain, and then power-levelling that class upon realizing he’s up against vampires

Top 5 sexiest anime men to you?🎙 a very hard hitting question

anon. you could have made this question so much easier for me by asking for my top 5 most aesthetically pleasing anime men or my top 5 poor little meow meows but "sexiest"? my god. alright. okay. for the purposes of this category I will not be showing my entire ass by picking my personal favourites but instead judging based on a mix of subjective bias and who I think would actually be decent partners

HONOURABLE MENTION: Nagoriyuki (Guilty Gear)

look. I know he's not technically an anime man. but guilty gear is anime-adjacent enough that I at least have to mention him. beautiful noble vampire samurai?? hand in marriage?? hand in marriage sir????

5. Kusuriuri (Mononoke)

I WANT HIS GENDER. that's all

4. Shouta Aizawa (My Hero Academia)

I know he's a little rough around the edges but he's a genuinely very caring person at heart who always does his utmost to protect those entrusted to his care and I think that's deeply admirable!! and he has a nice voice (junichi suwabe characters my BELOVED)

though this pick may partly be the competency kink talking ngl

3. Doppo Kunikida (Bungou Stray Dogs)

I've joked before that everyone in bsd has a traumatic backstory, except for kunikida, who is currently in the process of acquiring one. he looks well put together but he goes through so much. please god let him rest

2. William James Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot)

if kunikida is the guy who would die for you, william is the guy who would kill for you. ruthlessly efficient and a staunch ally of the underprivileged and downtrodden. he wants to overthrow the noble class and I think that's very sexy of him. he's also not afraid to get his hands dirty and can handle his own in a fight, which I respect.

1. Kento Nanami (Jujutsu Kaisen)

despite not being my #1, #2 or even #10 blorbo in jujutsu kaisen, nanami definitely ranks as its most eligible bachelor. he's got a good head on his shoulders and is one of few characters in the series that could be classed as a responsible adult. he's also one of few characters in the series I can say I actually respect. commentary on capitalism (beloved)

also he has really big... shoulders.

#fuzz replies to asks #anonymous #i dedicate this list to my good friend KR

The Jubokko

-The samurai and the vampire jubokko-

"But look, you're still standing, unbelievable."

The creature's words reached Marius but the latter's lips did not move to utter them. They remained tight in a mischievous smile.

" I have someone to return to...a promise to keep."

For the first time Marius felt fatigue, but was affected by it in a different way.

" Mh, it's a pity you won't be able to keep it." It was the creature's words that sent a cold shiver running down Marius' body, and with clarity Marius sensed the truth behind those words.

"I will die, but you.... You will die with me."

The creature's eyes widened and a low, hoarse hiss rumbled through the forest.

" Fearful and foolish, nothing more than a man."

" You are going to die anyway." Were his words.

"So be it. But you with me." Was Marius' reply.

" I will be reborn you know? I cannot die. I will be reborn from the tree. And your death will be in vain."

Said the creature in disbelief at the kindness and fortitude of that samurai. Never had he seen such love spring from death.

The creature remained silent, then brought its eyes, strangely gentle toward Marius.

" You said you have someone you want to return to?"

" Yes I do. But I can't and he will have to accept this choice of mine and live the rest of his life happily."

" I can make you keep your promise."

Marius brought his gaze to the creature.

" What curse would you like to propose to me?"

The creature laughed.

" If I accept. Who says I will keep my word?" Marius asked, with a smile on his face .

" I know. You cannot lie to me, and if you tried, your heart could not equally."
