CHARGE JOHANNA

[promethium]

[Futaba had texted Makoto earlier to see if she was busy and then asked her to come by Leblanc. After that, they made their way to the train station and then to a stationary store in Jinbocho.

Futaba looks over a stack of notebooks seriously, going back and forth between the options. One is rather plain, while another has a popular character on it.]

Hm... hmm! You know about school stuff, right? Which one? Which one would a high school student have?!

i forgot the name of the mascot makoto likes who is he where is he

[judicatured]

[ They don't really hang out-- not alone at least. Akira or Ann are usually present, the former moreso though the latter also.. moreso? At least recently ]

Oh uh-- hm.

[ She gazes over the row of stationary, eyes lingering just a little too long on the cute mascots. ]

Any of these would do, I'm not very particular about this sort of thing myself but-- I guess most girls pick something that they feel expresses their personality best?

[ A dangerous thing to say maybe. She was after all talking to a 15 year old genius who'd created what some people would consider a terrorist organization ]

interesting how sorey unites the human and seraphim like troy unites east high

[amiibo]

[The first thing that Sorey might notice is that someone's poking him. With a staff. Repeatedly. While Sorey's asleep in the bed of whatever inn they're staying at, Mikleo's trying to get his attention.]

Hey. Wake up already. Just how many sheep did you count last night, oh gentle Shepherd?

interesting how mikleo is the boy who's back

[soreyinflyin]

[ The staff is swatted out of his face, once, then twice, a smile on Sorey's face as he drifts in between a state of wake and sleep.

Rolling over, Sorey gets a wack square in his temple and launches upwards from bed with a yell. ]

I-I'M A SHEPARD! MALEVOLENCE IS -

[ He stops mid-gesture, his arms outstretched as if pulling back a bow drop and he looks stunned for a second before he turns to Mikleo and looks mildly hurt. ]

M-Mikleo! Did you have to use the staff? We don't have anywhere to rush off too....

sometimes cannibals are just friends who haven't eaten u yet

[soreyinflyin]

[ Whenever the two of them find themselves, it's not their world. But, it's not entirely different. There are trees everywhere that dwarf the human frame, roots running miles long and moss covering growing around the bright patches of light that stream in through branches.

It's ancient, warm and dream like, so naturally Sorey is right at home.

He jumps down from the root overlooking the one Velvet stands on and almost trips the landing, but that doesn't seem to deter him from smiling at her. ]

Hey! I didn't think there was anyone else alive here!

shepherds are friends not food BTW i'm setting this post-tob

[breaksouls]

[Laphi. It's the first thought she has when she opens her eyes, the first thought she's had in a long time. She can't feel his presence, but... she doesn't sense malevolence either. Wherever this is, her connection to Innominat isn't necessarily at risk. Still, she can't linger for too long either.

When the boy calls out to her, she rolls her eyes.]

Who are you.

i feel chariot in this chilis tonight

[claiomhsolais]

[How had she ended up in this room again...? Oh, right, Sucy was threatening to test some mushroom thing on her that'd give her three eyes so she ran away as fast as possible. But this place... It's the storage room for all of Luna Nova's magical mirrors, including that tricky one that had given her trouble during the festival. But since Akko's Akko, she smugly approaches the mirror in question.]

I bet you think you're real funny, huh? Making me look like a fool in front of everyone? Well, it's not gonna happen again! Nope! No siree! I'm a way stronger witch now, you know!

[nekota]

[ Of course she's here. All Diana wants is to get away from the school, from her entourage of dumb and dumber, from everything. But of course, Akko was here to interrupt that (she's going to ignore that Akko was here first) ].

And what are you doing in here?

[ And despite that she still approaches her-- blame it on morbid curiosity.]

I didn't think someone like you'd be allowed to be around so much priceless glass.

[ Diana's reflection hovers over Akko's and Diana frowns into the mirror, flipping her hair over her shoulder because it's the only thing she can do with her hands.]

You know what they say about bulls in china shops.

i really want a watermelon margarita

[breaksouls]

[Knock, knock! Velvet knocks on the door of the anime redhead household. She and Eleanor haven't arranged anything today, but she thought it might be fun to surprise her anyways. Eleanor's the type who'd get mad about something like that and then end up actually having fun despite herself. But the person who opens the door isn't Eleanor. Crap, she didn't even think about Eleanor's family... Velvet gives the woman a polite if somewhat awkward smile.]

Oh, um... is Eleanor here?

[nekota]

[ What in the world is the point of employing so many people if she was just going to have to answer the door herself? She swings it open with a huff and then is taken aback when it is a young girl she does not recognize.]

She's out at the moment I'm afraid. [Natalia raises an eyebrow, mostly out of curiosity. Eleanor had never mentioned such a friend to her, and it was only in her nature to be nosy. ]

Would you like to come in and wait for her-- Miss..? I'm sorry I don't believe I know your name.

maotelus stans only

[chaosbloom]

[It's not long after Sorey joins with Maotelus, saving the world and all that junk. But where do Shepherds and gods go when their work is done? An earth pulse, of course! It's there where he greets Sorey, in this rainbow of a world. His form is no longer that of a great dragon, but instead a young boy.]

Thank you, Sorey!

so like....velvet...i think ever1 else is dead

[soreyinflyin]

[ It's probably incredibly disrespectful to want to do this to one of the holiest figures in history, but Sorey's first impulse is to pick Maotelus up and spin him around. He's like a little puff of a mushroom cap.

He settles for patting the cowlick protruding from his head and watching it bounce as if it were alive. ]

I'm not sure I can say it was no problem, but I guess...I was happy to do it? Happy to help at least.

babe

[amiibo]

[A familiar hand pulls him back up to the surface of the ruins. Even as he stands up and dusts himself off, he can't stop smiling. The passage of time has started to become less obvious for him, but he remembers how difficult the first hundred years were.]

I would've been fine, but... [he laughs] Thank you.

[Now that he can get a proper look at Sorey, he's a little upset the other's still taller than him. He's definitely grown too, but still! Aside from that, he looks kinda... silly. His hair's too long, the robes of the Shepherd are far too small, but... it's him. Sorey's here.]

Welcome back, Sorey.

guess who got a gay feel and now i'm back on my bullshit

[soreyinflyin]

[ There are a lot of feelings bubbling up to the surface, after sleeping so long, he feels like he has so many words he needs to say and none that quite hit the mark on expressing just how happy he is.

So, a hug it is.

Mikleo has gotten much taller, but he's still slender, still feels feather light as he spins the two of them around away from the ledge like they're only 10 years old instead of hundreds. ]

You say that, but I've never seen you mad at me for saving you from a fall.

[ He's all smiles as he lays his hands on Mikleo's shoulders and tilts his head from side to side, taking in all the differences. ]

I like the ponytail...but it really doesn't make you look any more mature.

hey there daemons it's me ya shepherd

[collbrande]

[He's in the middle of prayer when he feels something shift. When he opens his eyes, the Empyreans' Throne is no more. In its place is a place of swirling colors and energy, easily recognizable to him as an earth pulse. For Innominat to have brought him here, it must be an important matter. But there's no response from the god, only a young man standing in front of him.]

Is there something you require of me?

[He asks with a steady expression.]

You would appear to be an exorcist, but I do not recall your face among our ranks. Your robes are non-regulation as well.

(busts down hospital door) get better

[tricksforkids]

[ It's not rare for him to see Shiho, but it is rare he comes to see Shiho on his own.

When he first started coming with Ann seeing her had been difficult, like being forced to confront every misstep and fuck up they had made with Kamoshida in one set of brown eyes.

She was an uncomfortable truth. Part of the three reason that he had become a Phantom Thief and someone that made me wonder if they shouldn't have killed him every time she took a shaky step forward. Part of that was why he had come to see her, it wasn't fair for her to just be an idea of a person to him when she had acknowledged him as someone outside of his record. ]

Hey. Glad to see you're up.

[ Akira removes one hand from his pocket and gives her a clipped wave. Forces himself to keep level and neutral eye contact with her. She's a person. ]

Do you have time to walk around the courtyard? ....I can always come back later. Ann had to run to a shoot, but she says- Uh, hold on-

[ He opens up his phone. ]

"Love you my badass bitch. Fierce. Heart emoji. Heart emoji. Work those glutes. Dog emoji. Sparkle emoji. Winky face."

So, I think she's cheering you on.

[nekota]

[ It's instinct to peer around him, to wait for the pigtails and bright smile and bag of miscellaneous sweets (snuck in under her shirt because the doctor has Shiho on a strict diet).

There is a split second moment when her smile wavers because Ann is not there, but it returns soon after and grows in strength when he reads her the text message. ]

That sounds about right. Leave it to Ann, she always knows exactly what to say.

[ There is a part of her that wants to say no to his request. But she's not good at that (she's trying to learn how to be-- but it's the least she can did, he did come to see her). ]

I have a really strict regimen of reading old magazines and watching bad variety TV that I need to keep up with, buut-- I think I can make time. I'll just need some help.

[ She shifts to the edge of her bed, bracing herself to stand up. ]

1v1 me in mementos no mona no scope however the meme goes

[nekota]

Do you all usually let Saka-- I mean, Skull, drive?

[ She tries to pretend like the dark doesn't bother her. Her sword is sheathed but she keeps her shield close to her chest. ]

This doesn't happen often right?

[ Instinctively, she draws a little closer to Ann. She's not really living up to her codename (Knight, it's Knight) but it's dark and the Monamobile is nowhere in sight and the two of them seem much more comfortable in their otherworld skins. ]

Midsummer shiho dream Get it it's like the persona 3 movie and the Shakepsreare

[hekat]

No...

[She says with a cringe, wondering why the hell they let him near the wheel in the first place.]

Usually Joker's the one driving. And for the most part, I'd say you do a pretty decent job at it too.

[Even if she was a little nervous the first time he took the wheel. Flashing a weak smile to Joker, she wraps an arm around Shiho, forgetting for a second that she doesn't need to protect her anymore. She's a Knight after all, right? But somehow that's just what feels natural...]

Um, you know the way out of here, right, Joker?

[nekota]

[ He's calculated all the ways this could go wrong, all the ways that are the best bet. He doesn't want to involve a stranger, but he doesn't want to let the best possible course of action slip from his hands.

So he slides up next to her, matching her pace as she walks, and wraps his hand around hers.

He offers her no explanation: just a smile, as he silently mouths 'act natural' ]

Sorry, sorry, I know I'm late! Tell you what, we'll do whatever you want today. I'll spend however long this outing lasts trying to atone for my misdeeds, okay?

[ He spares the nervous looking man that he's tailing a quiet glance. But it's so brief, and immediately his smile and gaze are her's once again. ]

[voidwitch]

[ Her body jerks if just for moment, nearly dropping the sandals in her hands. (If they got scuffed she would surely hear it from Xander.) But she relaxes because this, this seems like it'll be fun.

A game.

She tips her nose in the air slightly, a smirk dancing on her lips ever so slightly. Usually this would have sent her into a borderline rampage. Her mouth running a mile a minute about the damn nerve.

Speaking of nerve]

You're going to have to win me the biggest bear here for this, big....AND pink. I think you owe me that much for your sins.

[Her cheeks puff out, and she squints her eyes at him.]

And funnel cake, you know that right? The whole nine yards for your injustice towards me. You better be listening.

[ Ooo, boy, she was going to milk this guy for what he's got.]

if i'm arisato and you're arisato then who the hell is the seal

[orpheums]

[This is unusual. For the most part, being the Seal meant exactly what it sounded like. Sealing away Nyx and preventing contact with Erebus. He only had enough effort to think thoughts to himself, let alone do anything else. But now? He's seated at a familiar place, the bar at Hagakure.]

One speci-

[And right as he's about to order because why the hell not, he hears the chimes above the door ring as another customer enters. A girl in a Gekkoukan uniform. He's never met her, despite knowing most of the students through all his extracurriculars. Still, there's... this feeling he gets.

When he looks to her, he gives her a simple nod and then tilts his head.]

Two specials?

[nekota]

[ It's like looking into a fun house mirror, familiar and foreign and just a little but not right until you've still at it long enough.

But she sits down, smiles not really at him, but at the situation. ]

With extra an egg.

[ She takes apart her chopsticks ]

Have I met you before?

tsuntsun

[breaksouls]

[Until they're far enough from Loegres, Velvet doesn't even say anything, regardless of how much Natalia might try and pester her. Once they're across the bridge leading to the capital, she turns around to face her.]

You can take off that cloak, you know. It's just making you stand out more. Honestly, I don't really care whether you die or not, but I guess I'm expected to keep you alive. That's what the Bloodwings are paying me for, at least.

*spongebob fish voice* hello is this asch

[nekota]

[Up until this point she'd been frightened: both for herself and the fate of her kingdom. Any and all anxiety dissipates when her "savior" finally speaks. Natalia does take her hood off, but not because Velvet asks.

But because she wants to properly convey her anger. ]

If you want to get paid then perhaps you should care a bit more.

[ She brushes her hair back and gets a better look at her savior. She tsks disapprovingly at her outfit. ]

Where are you taking me?

HEWWO

[liftsrocks]

[After planting a big ol smorcher on his forehead, she just looks at him for a moment. She wonders if he'd have something to say about that, coming from the girl who yelled at him not to even hold her hand. But more than anything, she wishes he'd say anything.]

Finn... I'm going to find Luke Skywalker. And then,

[Rey smiles softly]

I'll come back. I promise.

i swear to god i'll get icons later

[sandboy]

[Truth be told, he's running out of excuses to constantly be at Senate meetings. Still, this was easier than coming up with excuses to be on Naboo or Coruscant without any "official" Jedi business. He had met up with Threepio earlier and easily gotten him to spill his wife's current location. Right now, she's between meetings and apparently all by her lonesome. So, when he enters her quarters, it's with a bit of an uncharacteristic smile on his face.

Until he sees him.

A man, and not the guard he's seen before nor a senator or a member of some royal family or... anyone he's ever seen Padme with.

Anakin's smile quickly dissolves into a scowl and he resumes his serious Jedi persona.]

My apologies for intruding. I have an important message for Senator Amidala. Do you know where I might find her?

hm

[sandboy]

[Some time after the whole kidnapping murder partner thing has gone down, Anakin is back in their room. He paces back and forth, then stops and raises his hand in the air as if pushing something. Of course, nothing happens. He tries again, lifting this time. Again, nothing. His hands ball into fists as he lets out a frustrated sigh.]

I don't know what I expected.

[The voice sounds as foreign as his body feels. It's garbled, far away, mechanical even. He remembers the way he first felt with the new hand, but this is different. Everything feels so restrained, as if he's trapped in his own body. Is that why...?]

I still sense nothing from the Force... How strange.

execute order 69

[plugins]

[Pascal had sent them an urgent message, something they had to come see in the village. 2B apparently had some pretty important orders from the higher-ups and he would've just gone with her, but... she told him to check on Pascal. When he arrives, Pascal gestures to a house in the lower area. "Down there. It's better if you see for yourself." Well, that's ominous. Sighing, he makes his way there.

Inside the house is... an android. Not YoRHa, and not like any he's seen before.]

Hey.

... Guess your systems must be down.

[Another day, another side quest apparently. 9S starts to hack in, except- he can't. Not like there's a strong barrier or he failed or anything like that. It's as if there's nothing to hack at all.]

What the...

ezio WHO

[breaksouls]

[Her last target had been easy enough. A powerful merchant who had made his way onto the Bloodwings' watchlist. She's collecting the proof of her kill when she hears footsteps nearby. Putting the bloodied feather away, Velvet readies her blades.]

You're too late.

[Her voice is playful. While the Brotherhood teaches that one should respect the lives they take, Velvet's gone far past that point. Now, only one life matters to her, the Templar Grand Master Artorius Collbrande.]

Unless you're planning on taking me, and if that's the case... good luck.

hey why does eleanor talk like haytham

[exorcismo]

[ She's already too late— the frustration is evident ("Eleanor you must mask your emotions, steel yourself if you want any chance of being anything worthwhile among us" they'd said).

But when the assassin mocks her, well, it's a bit too late for that. ]

You're awfully cocky for someone whose organization is little but a group of self-involved ruffians.

[ Her hand instinctively, hovers over the hilt of her rapier. She keeps her eyes on the woman. ]

I don't need luck to deal with the likes of you.

gays only

[morningset]

[While 1960s beach movies aren't usually her thing, she certainly aced that performance. Ah, but how she wishes they were in Olivier's Hamlet! Except... then she'd have to figure out what Hamlet was actually saying. The song finished, Kaoru saunters over to Chisato, who's still by the entrance of Big Momma's. Clad in leather, she certainly looks the part, while Chisato remains in her modern day dress. For now, at least.]

I'm eager to hear your thoughts. This isn't my era of expertise, of course, but... I would say I played my role well.

i hope you like my username

[sandboy]

[One moment he had been with Ahsoka and Obi-Wan trying to escape Mortis as it crumbled away and the next... he had been enveloped in darkness, light shining from the stars around him and from portals that line his view. It's nowhere and everywhere all at once. He finds himself drawn to one of the portal and as he nears it, he feels himself almost falling towards it and into it.

When Anakin comes to, he tries to gather himself as quickly as he can and get a look at his surroundings. A house...? Has he been captured? Perhaps the Son wasn't truly dead, perhaps- There's no time, he thinks as he shakes his head at himself. His hands hover to his waist and a sense of relief washes over him when he finds his lightsaber where it should be. Anakin ignites the blade, and begins to make his way through his new surroundings.]

i love this sandboy

[malefiicar]

[It isn't Marian that hears the visitor, it's Peaches. The beloved old mabari finds her footing and patters out to the source of the noise. Body tense and ready, while her master sleeps sprawled out, completely slumped from a night in Lowtown's best establishment. Whatever had been in the Qunari liquor had been good, good enough to put Marian out as soon as she was able to get herself in her room.

It's when Peaches begins bristling and barking up a storm that Marian wakes up, stumbling for her staff and bustling downstairs. Sure she lives in Hightown, but Lowtown habits die hard. The scene she stumbles upon though takes about three times the processing that she has available. A man--wearing god knows what--with a glowing blade (Was the buzzing sound necessary?) and Peaches just giving him a piece of her mind.

She opens her mouth and nothing comes out, closes her mouth, and opens again this time words finding her usually much sharper tongue.]

A friend at this hour? And a mage at that? I thought Wintersend was over and yet someone has brought me gift.

[She leans on her staff, being vertical is proving to be a lot harder than she had initially intended it to be.]

That is some very noisy magical blade you have there, but why don't we just...call this a night. I give you some gold pieces and we go our separate ways. Unless you're here to kill me which I guess that wouldn't be much of a gift anymore.

time to mow a lawn

[amiibo]

[A part of him's always been drawn to ancient ruins and stories of old. Now, most of what remains is just mythology and so he knows not to put too much faith in it. Some ruins speak of a god known as Maotelus, another is dedicated to Innominat.

Today he doesn't have much time to sightsee, though. He needs something he can sell back in town, so it has to be something someone other than him would find valuable. Mikleo's barely made his way into the temple, when suddenly the floor below him crumbles and he falls down to a lower level. Brushing himself off, he gets back on his feet and looks around for stairs or some sort of exit.]

Great... just what I needed.

in loving memory of juno she's dead and i love remembering that

[plugins]

[The mission was just barely a success. Then again, he feels like it's always that way with Nier. Not that he can say much when he's working from behind the scenes. Except well he can because he notes every mistake the other assassin makes and plans out a million better ways. But that's not the issue here.

When Nier returns to their hideout, 9S leans back casually in his chair, his arms behind his head as he gives the hacking a rest for now. He doubts Nier could understand what he was looking into, but still, better safe than sorry.]

So. That happened.

Do you want my feedback now or later? If you're gonna say later hoping I'll end up forgetting about it, well- sorry, not gonna happen.

thank GOD

[extirpator]

[ so what? a few people almost died. maybe 50 or 100. that happens.

nier returns, stride as casual as ever. his hood comes down, and he pivots his heel in an attempt to wipe a few lingering traces of blood off of his shoes. there's a raise of the brow, but his features are otherwise characteristically unfeeling. ]

I know you aren't one to forget something.

[ he's quick to go for a disposable rag. the stains in his robes need to be tended to. he isn't an absolute brute. ]

Now, I guess.

[ easier to tune him out when he's occupied, after all. ]

i want nier to hug a porg

[merging]

[Kanan said the temple would test him. That he'd face a trial. Hadn't everything before this been enough? He wanted to know more about the Jedi, but he also wanted Kanan to actually train him. All he got lately was a few old sayings from Master Yoda, whoever that is.

As he goes through the temple, he picks a path at random and suddenly finds himself in a room of complete darkness. The door he came through is gone and there's nothing but void. That's when a figure starts to materialize, a patch of light forming in a human-like shape. As more details become clear, he sees that it's a boy with silver hair, probably around his age. Ooookay.]

Uh. Are you like a guide or? Are you here to test me? Maybe some weird Jedi riddle?

we're doing this

[sexybook]

[they're in some jamjar because fuck you i don't need an explanation!!!!

Nier's asleep on the ground, a perfect fairy tale prince. Weiss had... woken up? Before him. That word doesn't feel right when applied to him, but he's not sure how else he would describe it.]

How long do you intend on lying there? I believe by now you've gotten plenty of beauty sleep, my dear boy. You, of all people, should know it is unwise to make the great Grimoire Weiss wait!

[The voice comes from above Nier, but when he opens his eyes, there's no book in sight. A figure of a man faces away from him, an unseen but solemn look in his eyes as he examines his own hands.]
