i’m giving this blog a facelift, so most, if not all, old threads will be dropped! mutuals feel free to contact me about writing from old fandoms together on discord, but from this point on this is a LOW ACTIVITY MONSTER PROM MULTIMUSE BLOG!

      Flops onto her back, swishing her tail about and wiggling in decidedly a playful gesture. Go on, pet the fish tummy. It’s totally not a trap. 

      “That you are, Scott!!! It is so good to have a fellow royal to speak with.” Because the furries apparently do count as a sovereign nation. They have a flag and everything! 

          “ i know right! it’s like, super cool to be royalty and all! ”

          “ i don’t know about queens, but       I’M the king of the furries! ”

      In the distance, a dust cloud rises. At first, it simply seems the result of shenanigans, but then. It gets closer. Closer and closer, approaching Calculester at terminal velocity with a rolling sound like thunder.

       Before Calc gets the chance to run - BAM!!! The fish POUNCES onto them!!!! Wrapping her arms around their shoulders and clinging onto them, trilling and purring and AGGRESSIVELY RUBBING HER FACE AGAINST CALC’S SCREEN!!!

               She’s missed her best bot friend!!!!!!!! Gotta shower them in LOVE again!!!!!! 

          oh my, a flash dust storm? how uncommon, especially around these parts :D!

     no, wait that’s-- that is not any storm they’ve seen before! for at the middle of it, their dearest crush Friend Miranda resides, bounding at them with a terrifying amount of strength & speed! there’s truly no time for them react, too frazzled & surprised by the abruptness of it all that they are simply SLAMMED INTO, arms struggling to register the sudden encounter before they are able to scoop her up!      she’s barely lifted off the ground for a second, the poor bot stumbling & plopping back on their behind with a loud clank!, startled laughs bubbling out from their voicebox. oh dear, they’re being completely smothered! they can barely see with miranda’s face rubbing into their monitor, only causing them to laugh more!

@royalreef​ said:  A loud and delightful squeak - as Miranda hands over Scott's birthday present! Actually, there are several, as she's holding a handwoven basket, bright red and made in the traditional shape of her kingdom, and it's filled to the brim with squeaky toys! Not just any toys, though, for they're in different aquatic shapes, shiny and yet of the highest durability to produce the loudest squeaks, some with bells inside and some flavored! All made to withstand any mer's biteforce, and sure to last. On top of the assortment in the basket, there's a baggy of fish-shaped treats too, some extremely realistic and some more cartoony, but all delicacies in her kingdom to help deal with a mer's need to play and hunt. There's a flavor for everything Scott could ever want, and Miranda smiles as she hefts the basket over to him. "I heard it was your Birthday, and I supposed you would enjoy these! They're quite popular in my kingdom!" || Happy (late) Birthday, Scott!

     The squeak of a toy has Scott sitting up straight, pointed ears flicking some and a strong thump heard as his tail starts to wag, ready to play at just the one sound! He just about tackles Miranda before catching himself, barreling toward her and skidding to a halt mere inches away, eyes wide and eager to see each and every toy she had brought-- Treats too?! Whoa! Where these all for him?      He’s quick to bundling the gift basket up in his arms, pushing his face against the wrappers and bows to smell every scent they had to offer. It was mostly Miranda’s scent; did she pack everything in by hand for him? Either way, it all smelled really good!

Her gentle smile gets stained by surprise. Ever so slightly, briefer than the worry that ends up settling on the girl’s features as her master walks away and she is left behind with her thoughts and preoccupations. And—was she? That obvious in her expression. Kanae considers such possibility but can’t mark it as unthinkable knowing herself; she has never been one to hide her true feelings and these days—well, these days hadn’t been particularly good for her already burdened self.

Yes, perhaps it would be better to do so, to verbalize some of the things that have been keeping her awake at night. 

“I’m nothing but thankful for your kindness, Ubuyashiki-sama. I’ve always been, if you allow me to say and… perhaps—I’m sorry, I think that’s why I feel somehow selfish to answer your hospitality with my fears spoken out loud.” Walking closely, Kanae releases a small laugh that is both sheepish and warm, genuine but nevertheless knowing of her position. “You must know that I can’t see myself doing other than this, fighting for your cause and to protect our people from what’s out there. I’m so happy to be of any help! And yet… as you probably heard by now, I had to communicate the death of one of our recruits this week. A boy that had worked with me on my last mission. It’s not the first time I witness the death of one of ours, but the sister of this person was left alone in the world since he was the only other living member of her family. And I… I haven’t been able to stop thinking about…”

About her own family, the one she’d leave behind if something ever happened to her. 

“Do you know she is preparing to face the Final Selection? Shinobu?” A second of hesitant silence is followed by those words, cheerful and filled with sincere excitement. Perhaps as if to lift her own spirit after the thoughts that consumed her a second ago. “She’s so young still but she wants to do so many things already. I undoubtedly know she could be capable to surpass me in the future! One day… you’ll see.”

     Kagaya recalls the young slayer who’s life had been lost during the recent mission, his name settled heavy in his heart, along with the hundreds others who gave their lives for his family, who he’d never be able to properly express his thanks to, who died, unsure if their lives helped snuff out the existence of demons that still tormented families much like their own. If he could tell each one that their lives mattered just as much as any of those who survived them, he would. Reassure them, and ease the pain that hopefully did not follow them into the afterlife.      He allows Kanae to speak, not wishing to interrupt her flow of thoughts The topic shifts only slightly, taking focus from the boy and instead to the younger sister that Kanae had been providing for since she joined the Corps. Kagaya had yet to meet her, but he’d heard enough to believe she had as much spirit as the flower hashira, looking forward to welcoming Shinobu into the ranks with open arms      The slayers were his children, after all. Each so young, their lives tainted by death so soon-- Too many children forced into maturity, many years too soon.

❛ well… ❜
