L'appel du vide

Soft Stuff! | 3/10

🍵 Do they prefer to ask out a partner or be asked?

(( He would rather initiate 9/10. He finds it embarrassing if he must be asked, unless he really adores and admires the other. In which case like, he’s all like ‘ finally o m g’ ))

👥 What is my muse’s sexual & romantic orientation?

(( Honestly N/A. Doesn’t care. ))

💞 Would they ever enter/have they ever entered into a polyamorous relationship?

(( Nooot really. And he’s more along the lines of either dedicating fully to one person and one person only, or going all over the place flirting with people. Y’know. ))

👶 Do they want children?

(( Not with another, no. He made Elymas as a living weapon in the future, as lore currently states, though this doesn’t really count much as ‘having a child’. ))

🍼 Could a partner ever change their mind on children?

(( Nope! ))

Capabilities | From HERE! 5/10

🔥 - What kind of magical powers or abilities do you have?

 “ Quite the number, actually! Some of my abilities include mastery of pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, shadowmancy, the dark arts… and now I’ve access to cosmic arts. Minor abilities include, but are not limited to; teleportation, shape-shifting and levitation. And, no, I am not willing to teach any of these things to just anyone. There is currently only one being lucky enough to learn from me, and so it shall stay…”

🌈 - What is your main element? If you don’t have one, what’s your main ability? 

“ Clearly my ‘main elements’ are those of shadow and darkness. As for a ‘main ability…?’ You must take me for a novice… I do not have a ‘main’ ability. I’ve many that I have mastered and continue to study and practice dutifully. In a sense, I have already answered this previously.”

🐶 - Do you have a familiar? If not, is there an animal that you feel a connection with? 

“ I’ve had a couple. One was a golem we Shades once crafted in times of crisis, such as the war. I owned him briefly, however, and haven’t been able to make contact with it since. You can easily guess this is due to the banishment of my people, which of course involved much of our creations. As for the other, well, let’s just say I found it to of been an absolute failure. I discarded it, and now I am currently free of any such familiars. As for the second question… I feel little connection with animals, but if I must choose I would go with ravens and foxes as a start.”

😟 - What is the worst thing about having your magic?

“ I... should hope so, seeing as she has witnessed it a number of times now, however small the examples may be.”

Well, that is fair, it is a risky bet, after all, She won’t get upset about the fact that he refuses to join her, no, She’ll just politely nod with a smile.

“I understand my dear, it is risky after all, I don’t have much to lose, mostly because I don’t care on who the chaos ends up happening, I’m just a wild card in a …Not so well organised world, I will then not insist on my invitation my Sweet…”

Her smile softens and her ears slightly lowers down.

“Instead, I’ll talk to you about my last creation, My dear, I created life, I made my first living, breathing being.”

She’ll proudly say, almost excited, it looks like she already feels a strong connection with this new being, she sounds, protective and… Well, affectionate.

     As Dark stood and listened to this bit of news his eyes brightened as they lit up, his interest peaked as to what sort of life Zizanie had manifested in his long and needed absence. He leaned forward ever so slightly, the Shade’s heels slightly lifting off of the ground beneath them to further emphasize his intrigue, as he responded back, pupils fading away.

“ Ah? Is that so? Well how delightful, Zizane. I’m sure you’ve taken great care in the creation of such life. May I ask what exactly it is? What purpose you’ve given it?”

Rules: bold what your muse prefers and tag some people.

@impetusdarkness after X post:

Her smile will only widen to the smoky kiss on her hand, a slight shiver sliding through her spine as her gaze on Alchemist becomes… Soft, affectionate even, she sure missed him, more than she even realized! And how he strokes her ego, she’ll get on the tip of her feet to just rub the tip of her nose on the smoke where ould be his cheek.

“I believe you, Honey, I’m just glad you’re back.”

She whispers against his cheek before taking a step back and having her usual confident smile on her lips again.

“As for what happened, the Council exploded with me in it, convinced them to free Laure, I went to the moon, adopted one of Ales’s clones aaannd….”

He probably doesn’t need to know what she did with Ales…

“I’m slowly trying to assemble the Glades “villains” So we can actually do some real damage.”

She’ll end with, offering him another affectionate smile.

     The Shade, feeling charmed by her returned affection, could be seen practically smiling beneath his coverings. He held his cloak tightly around himself, listening intently to what the chaotic nymph had to say. In passing, he had already heard tale of most of this, save for the adoption as well as this... gathering of villains?

Alchymis began to laugh, “ oh, is that so? How very brave of you, attempting to gang us all up underneath one banner in the name of the very destruction of The Glade. I must admire your initiative; however...” 

     He could be seen practically ‘stroking’ his ‘chin’ in thought over the matter. In truth, he had no hopes for such a thing transpiring, at least, not with his past experiences. And as much as he wished to flatter Zizanie, he would instead politely decline while leaving a small chance of changing his mind,

And there she was silent for a rather… long moment. He wanted to burn that mark-thing into her skin… It was a little weird to her. From what he had said, it appears that that sigil was mostly just a key so she can enter that hidden room. That she can call him with it too seems more like a small bonus. She probably could do that with her magic too. So why would he go through the trouble to burn something into her skin, just so she could enter that room? He could always just come along, and open that room and let her in or something. Was he withholding something from her? Hm, well, for all she knows, Lilli would say… yes. He probably does…

“You vant to burn zhat into my skin… Vhat am I to you? A freaking cow? Can’t you just, I don’t know, give me a key or draw zhat sigil on some paper? It’s zhe same fucking zhing I bet!”

The shadowmancer spoke, and didn’t even tried to hide how unhappy she was with the whole mark-thing. Of course she was. Who wanted to have something burned into their skin? She crossed her arms, and pouted a little at the Shade, before she continued.

“I get zhe feeling… Zhat you are hidding something about it, Alchymis…”

And there she just completely ignored the part where he had once again tried to be funny. At least she thinks that he had tried that. It’s hard to tell with Dark and his apparently new found sense of humor.

    Mr. Dark remained composed as Lilli, and understandably so, questioned his very methods. She was right to doubt the legitimacy of this whole marking process, doubting whether it was necessary in the slightest. After all, to most it would almost feel like signing a contract without reading the fine print! Alchymis allowed her to speak her mind before answering her valid concerns,

“ No, I’m afraid it is not the same thing. I have a special seal on that door, a seal that cannot be opened by any other being. You need this on your person in order to temporarily dispel it, and of course, access that very room. Consider yourself rather fortunate, as I would never dare allow any other soul entry.”

    He slowly began to shift the sigil from palm to palm, training his eyes on it as he continued on,

“ And… I believe the answer to that is obvious,” his eyes met Lilli’s, “ that I am not hiding anything here, rather, I feel you are intelligent enough to understand just what baring this mark entails.”

    He held the sigil out in front of Lilli one more, the blue light gave off a familiar aura, one akin to Alchymis’, as well as a generalized warmth to the air around it,

“ Receiving this will not only prove useful to you, especially should you face something dire, but it communicates to others whose side you stand. That you are loyal to me and to me only.”

    The Shade quickly dispelled the symbol, returning his hands into his cloak as he tightly wrapped the fabric around himself, “I will give you time to dwell on this, Lilli, you may come to me with your decision by tomorrow morning the latest. It would seem forcing this on you would only prove to agitate you further. I will meet you in the west wing balcony either tonight or, again, in the morning. Good night.”
