The Hydrangea (hydrangea macrophylla) is a flower native to and endemic to japan, typically blooming from June to September. it's meaning in flower language varies based on colour.
the Blue hydrangea's attributed meanings include "patient love", "mystery" and "remorse".
*night has fallen, and the halls of the pinky's corridor have fallen silent with it.
*somewhere within this maze of doors and passageways was Ren. his footsteps were quiet, almost eerily so–for he did not want to disturb his dear and delicate master's slumber.
*he'd already escorted the dihui star to her room moments earlier, ending his sparse responsibilities for the day. and so he was left alone with his own thoughts.
*as he often was.
*pondering had become Ren's most frequent activity; he had no desires nor inclinations towards most other 'hobbies'.
*perhaps he could go and hone his swordsmanship further. or perhaps he could settle in his room and rest, so he may awake with the energy and clear mind to take care of his master the following morning.or perhaps..
*the pinky apprentice searched through his coat's pockets until he fished out a phone. a slightly outdated model by the city's standards, but he was grateful for having one at all.
*Kira had recently 'borrowed' his phone, and besides changing his preferred minimalist layout and messing up all his settings, downloaded a social app she used often. 'tumblr', she called it. she'd insisted on him giving it a try.
*although he would usually never indulge in such meaningless endeavours, tonight, something compelled him otherwise.
*Ren opened the app.

★ about muse
Ren (蓮), no last name. sometimes borrows his master's and goes by 'Shiomi Ren' (塩見 蓮)if a last name is absolutely mandatory.
20, became the dihui star's apprentice at 15~14.
he/him..? its complicated. probably queer and not cis in some way but he has a star to inherit so he doesn't really care about that right now. we'll tackle that whole thing later.
minor differences from canon in appearance, which are as follows: ★
*main point of canon divergence is in backstory. it'll take some time to be delved into, however. he swore to the man in black he'd never tell a soul.
the only other person besides Rien in his canon who knows of the current dihui star's true identity. he often acts as Araya's caregiver.
currently the most competent at household chores in the HoS. he handles meal-making for himself and Araya.
complicated relationship with his canon's master.
terminally ill, in a sense.

mod is an adult, so is my muse. suggestive rp/asks are fine, just don't thwack me with full NSFW. i plead.
shipping w other apprentices and characters around his age range is also fair game. again, just keep things relatively sfw.
muses from other media are welcome to interact.
mod's timezone is +9. apologies if the time discrepancy causes any issues.
M!As are allowed, but mod may change how long they go on for as they see fit.
M!As have been halted indefinitely until mod gets through the ones in their backlog. [note, this does not include anon gifts].
mod also apologizes in advance for slow responses towards rp and asks. their brain has like two braincells, probably, and it takes them a bit to write out responses, alongside their mental health not being that good.
RBs are in-character unless stated otherwise. realistically, i feel like ren would mostly use his socials for philosophical things or photography. photography rbs are queued.
Addendums due to recent events:
no, ren will not be distorting. sorry. sny prompts or m!a's for him to distort will be ignored.
will i consider it in the future? possibly! but given mod's understanding of distortion, it doesn't feel likely nor reasonable for him to at his character's current point in time. this isn't a good thing either. his will is unshakable, but it's a will that's rooted in inherently negative beliefs.
EGO could be on the table if you reaaaaallly want it to, but that still doesn't quite feel reasonable and also mod doesn't really want to go and design a whole EGO for him atm. I'm in the goddamn torment nexus, chat.
also, please dont suddenly force my muse into things via kidnapping or teleporting them to different locations in posts without at least asking mod first, wether via asks or dms: asks are fine since mod can choose to decline more easily, but if you want to talk about it more in depth, you can dm mod directly if you'd like.

*something has been here, flickering through one crevice of shadow into the other, grazing walls of propped up alcohol collections and memoirs of past glory until it reached the thumb apprentice’s room. if one strained their hearing just enough, they'd catch the occasional jingle of jolly bells following after it.
*locked doors mean nothing when there's plenty of dark on the other side for it to phase through. countless unseen eyes check and ensure the room's resident won't witness it’s brief exit from the dark—for lucio's sake rather than it's own.
*a gift has been left by the apprentice’s bed for him to find.
*the box itself is inoffensive enough. red and maroon striped wrapping encase it's contents, kept together by a white ribbon tied into a bow. the fabric glimmers in the light; probably imbedded with glitter.
*inside it is a large journal with lock and key, accompanied by a stationary set themed after playing cards: fountain pens and accompanying inks, stamps, masking tape—so on, so forth. the journal itself is a deep carmine red, it's spine and cover framed by intricately shaped gold. both lock and key both have been shaped into hearts; the lock's main body and the key's head respectively .
*merry (early) christmas.
@an-aspiring-star // presentce . ^^
*Lucio awoke to a present near his bed, causing him to blink a few times in confusion. Why would someone ever leave a gift for him, and what would cause them to?*
"..Huh. oh, I should probably.. open that..? It's not like all presents are a bomb, aha.."
*He turns over and grabs the present (and almost falls off his bed, causing him to just.. admire the gift. It was nicely wrapped, and the colors were the type of colors he would wear.*
*Something tells him to unwrap the gift, so he does so. It's a nice stationary set, along with a nice looking journal. Whoever gave Lucio this must've thought hard about what to get for him.*
"..This is very nice. I.. really am not sure who would think to get me something like this, but.. I would say thank you if they were here. I was running out of pages in my journal as well, so.."
// *sounds of mod walking into the room and going splat. like
// HHHHHHHI . HEY so you may be wondering how i got into this situation.
//apologies for going nearly radio silent besides a few sent asks to others for uhhh. checks calendar. aw shit like half a week,,,,,
//unfortunately this humble mod has been in situations. and i still actively am but it's ok we ball
//good news is that if everything goes okay tomorrow i should be able to start posting again ... !!! at the very least i want to be back on track before this rensday [ren Wednesday] ysee kgjfjdj
Are you really gonna be the only jolly one here? Why not spread that Christmas cheer to your friends?
*..oh dear.
*how could he have forgotten? christmas day lurked just around the corner in a few moments’ time, and ren had yet to do anything. all these inquiries and mindless chatter had distracted them from their duties upon this holy night; to see it through that those he loved would wake to bountiful blessings when morning came.
*that just won't do.
' 'indeed i should.' '
*with their wrapped blade once again held tight in their embrace, the jolly apprentice sets down the cup of coffee they'd been sipping to stand up, walking away from their table and towards the entrance to their quarters. there is no sound to their steps. no noise forms from the ornaments wrapped around his form clinking against him and eachother when there should be.
*the door is slid ope-
*...
*ren goes to close the sliding door behind them without so much as acknowledging the vandalism of his corridor.
*there's a silhouette where ren had been standing, peeking through gaps of paper in between the wooden door frame. it shifts and molds itself into shape from whatever it'd been before—bones occasionally protruding out and absorbed back into itself.
*the monster’s body is massive, hulking. it turns in place on four legs to look around, revealing what looked like horns upon first glance to be giant tusks stretching taller than it's head, taller than itself. it's nose extends like a trunk. a low, rumbling growl thunders from it's mouth.
*and then it's gone. the monster moves through the mantle of shadow. It needs not follow conventional space.

*something clatters against a window, it was a mask, on that is covered in purples red and yellows, with pinprick red and orange eyes filled with power, this mask feels old, and like it is containing something =)
*...it appears i must inform you there are no windows near ren nor in the House of Spiders in general—the layout of each corridor's inner structures is extremely enclosed, lacking any glimpses into the void outside.
*but fret not. the strange mask instead lands upon the rooftop of the Spiderweb; one of the only 'open' spaces this place has to offer.
...Is this what people from around here say is an E.G.O? „
* Joker gives Ren a plushie of Ren himself and a cup of coffee *
[ @phxntomjoker // Akira/Ren ]
' '...?' '
*ren turns to face the phantom thief, droopy eyes narrowed and staring right into his soul—not unlike how they had when joker was just some rando strolling across their corridor. it takes them a good few seconds of staring before a lightbulb lights up in their head.
' 'ah. it is you. ' '
*the apprentice nods lightly in greeting as always. what's not as always is how they're carrying themselves; all their movements are sluggish and heavy, yawning every other sentence. dear wings this guy is tired.
' 'my sincerest apologies, i am..rather improper, at this time-..?' '
*ren, taken off guard into silence, takes the plushie of himself in his usual attire on one hand and the cup of coffee in the other.
' '..i am ever so grateful.' '
*with a few blows to cool it down, ren sips on the coffee without further commentary.
[1 Ren Plush & 1 coffee have been added to the sneeby apprentice's inventory.]
A younger sister of the middle has been alerted as well to Kira's situation, try and meet up with her, maybe, as she could help you help Kira and the others, as she cares about family a lot, and you are practically family with Kira, maybe you could escape with her, your master, and the other apprentices!
*ren only seems to look more awkward the more anon goes on. something bitter coats their words, newfound alert gaze cast downwards.
' '..there is no freedom from this spiderweb for the damned souls still playing their part. you're entertaining worthless dreams that never will bear any fruit.' '
*For as long as she is The Dihui Star and the House of Spiders exists, his master will be shackled by her ankle to the confines of this hellhole—the same fate as the one before her. escape is futile; even if they got past him, ren knows well that the fingers will be sent to capture and send her back to imprisonment, making quick work of anyone who stands in their way, including his humble self.
*his Master may only know freedom if the spiderweb and the spiders that uphold it are torn down, or if she passes on her seat to another. only one of these is feasible.
*...what was he thinking about, again? vague, fuzzy thoughts of the child are all that remain.
*the sneeby apprentice yawns, though they cover their mouth in haste.
' '... though i may indeed pay her a visit, i fear there is only so much my humble self could do.' '

*unfortunately, this particular servant has no threads—or more appropriately, chains—tying back to the LCB beyond this EGO they've been given. speculation is all one can do to answer this one.
