In reaction to gifts from @mutewondergal and @caerulaluna
It was a school holiday for Rosewood, and while the students weren’t in class or really on campus, a couple of students elected to stay in their dorms for various reasons, he still wished to man the library. The reason that Caleb gave the college was that he had nothing better to do during the break and that he needed some catch-up time, not a complete lie, but that...wasn’t the entire truth, either.
He didn’t want to deal with the silence of his apartment.
While Caleb appreciated and loved the companionship he found in his interactions in Wonderland, there was nothing that could compare to the Nein. They had been through Hell together, and in many cases, almost died together. That group of forgotten people became a found family...Caleb’s found family.
Reminiscing in his memories, he didn’t notice the two packages on his desk as he moved past it to check-in some last minute turned in books. It took Frumpkin loudly meowing at him to get his attention.
“Yes Frumpkin what is it- oh? What are these? Gifts?”
Opening the first package, the smaller of the two, Caleb’s mouth gaped at the beautiful notebook that was contained in it. The quill that came with the notebook felt...perfect, somehow. Seeing a small piece of paper, Caleb’s eyes widened to see that Minato had given him this...for Vati’s Day?
Caleb felt his breath stop, “F...Father’s Day? But I am not...we are not...”
Caleb eyed the second package with slight worry...if this package was from Minato then that would mean...
Caleb took a deep breath and opened the second package and was first met with a piece of paper that read “Happy Vati’s Day!” Caleb once again felt his breath hick, but this occurrence was accompanied by his vision blurring.
“...you two...are certainly trying to give this man a heart attack, aren’t you?”
Caleb picked up the orange scarf that had a small icon of Frumpkin on it but stared in awe as the article unfolded into...
“......” Silence. Utter silence.
Picking up the left end of the scarf, a light green section with a falchion; Caleb knew that his symbolized the sea-faring half-orc of the Might Nein; then a cobalt blue section with a bo staff; the invesigator of the group Beauregard Lionette...how they had grown close during their adventures; pink, with a tea cup; Caduceus, the Firbolg Cleric of their group that had joined them after Mollymauk’s passing...how he missed the smell of his special teas; a sunny yellow with a flask; Veth...Caleb could not thank her enough for everything she had done for everyone; black and a greatsword in white; Yasha, the other quiet one of the group that Caleb had connected with; navy blue, and a lollipop; Jester...the sunshine in the darkest of nights and the most peril of encounters; Purple, and two crossed scimitars; Caleb stared at the scimitars for what felt like ages...the words that he wanted to say to the tiefling that cannot be said to those ears anymore; orange, and a cat; this obviously represented Caleb.
He didn’t realize that he was clutching the scarf, notebook, and quill in his hands and sobbing until Fumpkin had nudged him.
His voice thick from the crying, “...Th-these gifts...they are...s-so warm and from the heart...I...I do not know why they did this...I...I am not their vati...”
Caleb felt a voice in his mead murmur something. That’s not true. You are guiding them; educating them. You are being what you wish you had back then, before Ikithon had ripped it from you.
The voice eventually merged with his own, a new warmth spreading through his chest, “Whether it was on purpose or not...I...I have claimed them as my chil-...my child-dren,” Caleb felt himself stutter over the word, as if he still didn’t believe it himself, “...it is obvious that they see me like a father...what should I do?” Caleb asked Frumpkin, who just curled on the wizard’s lap and softly mewed at him.
Chuckling and letting a few more tears fall, “Of course, I know that they are on break...I must do something for them...when is their birthday again...?”

While being around animals wasn’t typically Junko’s go to activity, she was trying to get used to all the different sorts of animals from around Wonderland. Bunnies, cats, dogs, there were so many. It reminded her of a student from Hope’s Peak, one that always carried his hamsters around…
“Hm, none of these little guys can help me cause despair, that may be a problem. I’ve been told that while it may not cause me despair, I’ll have a friend.” Junko pursed her lips as she stared at a few kittens playing around in a pen they were in.
“Well what do you know, they have turtles too.” She said quietly, tilting her head to the side.
Hearing the girl’s comments, Caleb felt confusion and slight concern fill his mind at the implications of the word “despair.” Why would one want to spread such negativity in Wonderland and how could a small kitten help with that. So many questions flurried in Caleb’s head that they almost missed her comment about the turtles.
Blinking at the girl, “Ah, yes. I was also surprised that the shelter had the amphibious creatures. Though, I am a bit thankful that one of my friends has not fallen here yet; he does not care for turtles anymore.” Flashes of Caleb’s minor mistake in his casting of Polymorph came into his mind.
Curiosity was a beast that Caleb could never defeat and his question spilled out of his mouth, “Your comments about despair...why do you wish to spread that?”
For anyone Interested! More than one person can reply!
Entering Floraison, Caleb enjoyed the slower pace of the countryside and the lower decidable levels. Summoning Frumpkin, Caleb had an agenda to complete at the animal shelter that one of the students had mentioned off-hand to him. An entire establishment that devoted to helping abandoned or stray animals find a new home? That was something Caleb could justify triggering his social anxiety for.
Entering the building, Caleb heard the various sounds of the animals and entered the room. A kind volunteer guided him towards a play area where people could play with the various animals up for adoption.
The first animal that came towards him was a turtle that bumped into his knee, “Oh my...aren’t you an interesting find.” Caleb sat down and brushed his finger along the turtle’s shell.
He followed along with everything Caleb told him so far, nodding in acknowledgement. Even if he had a ridiculous amount of potential compared to a regular person, he wasn’t going to be doing anything colossal at first. Starting out with small basics suited him just fine. Besides, there was no guarantee he could actually pull it off.
Minato watched with wide eyes as the wizard called forth the lithe feline, the lingering skepticism fading as the cat blepped right at him. Cute. Holding out his hand for Frumpkin to sniff, the faintest trace of a smile twinged at the corners of his lips. Would he perhaps have a familiar someday? What would they be like?
“Sure,” he mused, using his free hand to pack up the materials splayed out on the table. Thankfully Minato had the foresight to rent everything he needed for his assignment before hand. He could work on it at their shared dorm later tonight.
Hoisting his backpack over one shoulder, the midnight youth took a moment to make eye contact with his newfound teacher. “One condition,” he said, hardening his gaze ever so subtly. “Teach me just like you taught Mina-nee. No verbal commands. Nada. Treat us as equals, or don’t teach me at all. Seem fair?”
Hearing that Minato was willing to be under his tutelage, Caleb felt a rush of something go through his chest. Was it excitement? Anxiety? Caleb couldn’t put her finger on it, but none the less he had another student; a student who he had a feeling could perform the same feats as his sister.
Returning the eye contact, Caleb first worried that he would ask about destruction or about immortality, as magic from his world could possibly achieve, but when he heard the condition that he constructed, he couldn’t help the small smile that formed on his face, “Well, that certainly makes my lesson plans easier. You have a good heart Minato; that is not something to lose.” Caleb’s smile tinged with sadness as he turned.
Walking towards the forest, Caleb opened his spell book and reviewed the Catapult spell that he instructed Minako on all that time ago. Since they had a moment until they reached the forest, Caleb went though a basic, but somehow still thorough, explanation on how his magic operated.
As they entered the forest, Caleb quickly found a spacious area where they couldn’t run the danger of too much collateral damage. Setting his bag down, Caleb re-opened his spell book and triple checked Catapult.
“Alright, Minato, the spell that Minako had first used was a spell called ‘Catapult.’ It is a first level spell which means that it should not be difficult to cast. The intent of the spell is to take an inanimate object and manipulate the magical energies around you to force the object to move. The limits of this spell is that the object cannot weigh more than five pounds. When you cast the spell, image the object you wish to move is suddenly in the air and under your power. First, I will cast the spell myself as an example, and then it is your turn.”
Caleb, after finished his lesson, slowly reached his hand out towards a small bush and in a flash the plant was suddenly thrown against a tree about 90 feet away.
He turned towards Minato and offered a slightly awkward smile, “Well? It is your turn, Minato.” Caleb moved next to his student and patted him on the shoulder.

She puffed up beneath the weight of his praise, feeling a weight lifting free from her shoulders. It hadn’t really occurred to her how deeply the failure of magic had been pressing down on her; like many pains that didn’t break her, they remained far off and forgotten.
(How long could she keep it up, though? Minako didn’t like wondering that, so she buried it.)
‘Oh uh basically the Chesire got a big demotion or something. Showed up with his ass kicked and spooked us real good; haven’t seen him in a while, though, so maybe he got re-moted? Hm.’
As Sensei probed her curiously at the mention of Minato, Minako felt her smile freeze in place. The instinct to deflect it with a not-quite-lie was tingling so strong that her hands and fingers were raised and poised. But she stilled herself.
This was the same man who’d taken her on as a student despite her lack of a voice. Who believed in her like Shouchi often did. He deserved the truth as she knew it, right? Even…if it hurt to think about it.
‘That’s a long…story. The short of it is that I thought he died in an accident with my parents. Our parents, I mean.’ She wasn’t sure Wizard Men knew anything about cars, so she edited that information as cleanly as she could. ‘But he’s here in Wonderland, same age as I am. We’re twins; his name’s Minato. So somehow my world’s ruling system just…lost him for a little while. But I found him again and everything’s great!!’
She shoved one hand down to her side to hide the shaking as she leaned in suspiciously.
‘…And you still haven’t said a thing about you, Sensei! How rude!’
Translating the motions, Caleb nodded his head and raised a brow at the choice of the word “re-moted” but chose to ignore that when he noticed Minako’s slight freeze at him questioning about her brother. While Caleb did not know Minako for long, he was decent at reading others and could tell the freeze. Caleb knew that he wasn’t going to pressure Minako into conversing about her brother, but that pang of guilt and worry had hit Caleb in the chest and worsened when Minako started recounting the story.
Brushing his bangs out of his face, “Well...it is a good thing that you found each other again. Family is an important thing to have and to lose something so precious...I hope that lesson is one that does not repeat itself...” Caleb took a moment to let his mind wander to his own family, but quickly snapped back to reality when Minako got his attention again.
Caleb chuckled a little and summoned Frumpkin to get reunited with Minako, “A lot has happened with the Nein..a lot of growth happened with Fjord and Nott- I-I mean Veth. You remember them, correct? I do not know how much time has passed since my last visit, so if you need a reminder, please let me know.”
Caleb went on to explain what happened with Fjord and his disconnect with his Patron, Caleb’s face is noticeably soft during that moment along with Veth regaining her halfling self, and as Caleb started to recount the events with Essek, he felt his face fall somewhat.
“N-never mind the rest of that Minako,” an uneasy smile formed on Caleb’s face and he mentally ordered Frumpkin to sit on his lap, “what is your brother like? Is he full of energy like yourself?”
When Mizuki and her sister were forced to flee their home, the techno-magicka was antsy with her sister and her inability to control her magic. She knew it wasn’t entirely her fault, it had been an issue for years. She knew that magic was more common here than back home, but she also knew that not every person was used to these strange abilities. And now that she had messed up, Mizuki felt all the color drain from her face and her body become cold. It was like her mind had been forced from her body and she was staring at herself as she tried to understand everything that had happened.
Mizuki had fucked up. She had fucked things up in their new home, and she and Hina were going to be forced to flee once again.
But then she saw the soft glow of fire, the orange flames illuminating the area around her and this stranger. Her eyes widened as she gasped, her pupils dilating as she stared at the beautiful light. “This is magic…” she whispered, her fingers hovering in the air as she reached for it and felt the radiating heat against her skin. “And it’s so beautiful.”
Even after the fire disappeared, Mizuki found herself entranced and only broke from her hypnotism once the stranger spoke again. She stared at him and quickly averted her eyes to her lap. “Magic is… why my sister and I were forced to leave our home,” she admitted, her palm absentmindedly rubbing against her pants. “Magic is… what’s the worst-? Taboo? Feared? Illegal? All the above…”
Hearing the young woman’s words, Caleb couldn’t help but agree with her; magic was a beautiful thing if done properly and with the right intent...but that was subjective in Wildmount and all of Exandria.
Caleb’s mind tried to process how simple magic could make two young women to flee their home- then she mentioned that magic was...completely unfavorable to have where she came from.
Folding his hands, “I...can understand if there was a certain school of magic that was banned; where I am from the school of Necromancy is heavily regulated and most forms of the school are outright banned...but all of magic is banned where you are from? That...must not be a pleasant place to live in...”
Sympathy was something that Caleb understood and could practice easily with the Nein, but with a stranger whose world banned and actually shunned magic, that was going to be hard to do.
Caleb could feel himself lick his lips in concentration as his mind tried to string together the Common words to help the woman, “I...cannot understand why your world would make such laws, but do understand that Wonderland has no such restrictions when it comes to magic. Magic is free here. The government just asks that we do not destroy any buildings which is very fair in my opinion,” Caleb let out an awkward chuckle at his attempt at humor.
As Caleb sat in his bed, the purring form of Frumpkin on his chest, his mind began to drift through the various memories that he had formed during his life. His current life. The first being that of the cell he had been thrown in at the sanatorium; the second of first meeting Nott; the third meeting the first iteration of the Nein and...his mind singled in on one face: Fjord.
The half-orc warlock turned paladin has been the second most reserved member, other than Yasha, in the group. It wasn’t until he started to open his heart to the group that Caleb...felt something familiar again. It scared him. Is scared Caleb more than seeing Master Ikithon again.
But the dreams that Caleb had of himself and Fjord: being able to live together, have a home of their own, and be in wonderful bliss. Those dreams were nice...but Caleb’s mind and heart told him otherwise: he did not deserve those types of dreams. As much as his heart sang for the half-orc, the song turned louder when Fjord accepted the Wildmother, both parts of him knew that the type of life he dreamed of would be destroyed by Caleb’s own hands.
So he will just admire from afar; watch Fjord and Jester slowly grow closer and have that bliss that Caleb wanted. He can do that. He can still be in his life and experience that bliss...that’s how that works...right?
Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury! Again, Young!Brendon really loved the magical girl animes and saw a lot of himself in Ami and SHE CONTROLLED WATER AND THAT’S FUCKING COOL!? I have a blog for her and everything...but the time was never right to bring her in, sadly. Hopefully for the future!
Kero from Cardcaptor Sakura! I loved the series when I was younger and I loved Kero’s character (both as his stuffie and released forms) and he’s been re-emerging as of late! I hope I’m not cursing myself into muse hell again by remembering him :sob:

Send me “alt!” and I’ll introduce you to a character I’ve rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!
Morgiana from Magi! When I first watched the anime her story just grabbed my heart and just smashed it into the ground. And she’s another badass woman (which is another theme I’m starting to see in my muses) that acts touch but has a softer side. I love her and I wish I can write her soon!

This boy. This boy right here named Sorey from Tales of Zestiria has been a muse of mine for a couple years now since Rosie and I played the game together. His himbo energy (anyone see a theme yet?) when it comes to everything is just...too pure. His excitement about archeology/anthropology is just GAH! I love him.
Send me “alt!” and I’ll introduce you to a character I’ve rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!
Hetalia is a series that I found young (like everyone else) and I found the accents and cultural references intrigued me (I even wrote a linguistics paper about it) and Germany and another character spoke to me as muses. I sadly haven’t written him yet, but who knows what’ll happen in the future!
Send me “alt!” and I’ll introduce you to a character I’ve rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!
Kristoff. This boy said “sup” to me randomly when Wonderland first opened and I have never been the same again. He has that kinda himbo energy that most of my male muses are cursed with, but his connection with Sven and his interactions with Anna just caused his muse to be birthed.
Send me “alt!” and I’ll introduce you to a character I’ve rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!
The second muse that I’ve ever written: Mettaton from Undertale! He was an impulse muse in the first group I was in and I thought that I’d just wing it and write him! The bitch fucking stuck. The Sass. The moves. The GLAMOR! Just everything about his character screamed to me (along with the possibility with playing with gender with him).

I’ve written Amethyst from Steven Universe before! It was in a college AU, so she wasn’t a gem but a regular college student. I would love to try and write her with her powers...but limit slots, ya’know?
