After the deaths of your four oldest siblings, taken from you by war, your older sibling, Nour, once fifth in line for the Solar Imperial throne, is now the heir. 

This day never should have happened. 

As recompense for the ravages your kingdom’s war has inflicted upon the Lunar kingdom of Celestyl, and as assurance it will not happen again, your sibling is to be sent to Celestyl to marry the Lunar King’s heir. An arranged marriage, meant to unite the kingdoms. Or, at least that’s how everyone prefers to phrase it. But you all recognize this for what it really is: a guise. Your sibling will be a political hostage.

And—Theia, grant you guidance—you have had a premonition this is not the worst to come. Should your sibling go to Celestyl, they will not survive.

So you will take their place.

Stygian Sun: Total Eclipse is a dark fantasy interactive fictional story where you play as the sixth child in the proud and grandiose Solar Imperial Dynasty and leave your homeland for a foreign country, where you will take your sibling’s place in an arranged marriage to the heir to the Lunar Kingdom. But something sinister simmers on the horizon—you have felt it in your premonitions; apprehension crawls beneath your skin, foreboding pricks at the back of your neck, dread sinks low and heavy in your stomach. Theia is warning you—of what, you know not, but you have seen the way the Lunar King looks at you. His stare, the dagger, and you, the sacrificial lamb on the altar.  Beware the wolf, little lamb.

‎The RO has enough of the stink eyes the MC is giving them (like it's their fucking fault it's cold???) and offers to share. So, the MC (begrudgingly) scoots over and hides under the RO's blanket.

‎They turn into an octopus the second they're there. They push their head under the RO's chin, squeeze them with their arms AND legs (MC is tall so there's a lot of arms and legs to squeeze people with) and pass out.

‎How would the ROs react to that? (Crushing stage if possible)

Kieran: they wouldn't make the offer unless post-relationship, but finds it cute and endearing. Shakes their head good-naturedly and lets mc snuggle as close as they wish before wrapping their arms comfortably around mc as well.

Nihm: would just laugh and pick up their blanket and crawl over to MC and lay down next to them. Giggles when MC goes full octopus on em.

Lilith/Lucien: lifts the blanket and gives MC a pointed and amused stare. Entices mc over by making increasingly theatrical bogus claims like holy shit you gotta see this theres a three legged cat doin flips under here or just bein like im naked under here 🤙 Also goes full octopus on MC.

Samira: would only offer post-relationship or if no one was around to see--otherwise, she'd just give them her blanket. Tells MC to quit with their pitiful pouting and just get under her blanket already. Pats MC consolingly and stifles a smile as they wrap their limbs around her.

that being said, i humbly request how the ro's would comfort mc after a nightmare.

Thank you!! :3 💖 You can and will commit crimes for Sam 🛐

we'll soon be a legion

what's the ros opinion on nipple piercings/piercings in general?

Kieran: no strong opinions; they don’t mind piercings, though don’t wish for any. Certain piercings like nipple piercings tho would draw their attention more, much to their own embarrassment.

Nihm: they admire them and think they’re pretty, though they don’t want any on themself. Scared of needles.

Lilith/Lucien: hot 👍 they would play around with em themself if things were different, largely as a means of expressing their own autonomy. It’s a level of self expression they see as a luxury they don’t have—if they played around, they’d want it to be bc they want to, not out of spite for their mistress.

Samira: likes em on people and herself—she has her nose and bellybutton pierced. And fuck it I wanna add nipple piercings to that list too.

On a beach trip what would everybody be doing assuming they aren't trying to get MC or Sam to get over their fear of the water?

I see Nihm as a shell collector.

(I am a sweet innocent lovely bumblebee 🐝)

Kieran: swimming/fishing/reading. Getting their white ass sunburnt despite their efforts to cover up.

Nihm: would def collect seashells and point at all the lil sandcrabs. Builds sandcastles and mermaid tails over the legs of any willing friends and decorates them with shells and seaweed.

Samira: lounging on a chair/towel and reading. Getting a mermaid tail sculpted around her legs by Nihm.

Aurynn: here to look pretty. Falls asleep sunbathing.

I just wanted to know how would the Ro's react if they're in a relationship with MC and MC told them that they have one year left to live

I think I had several Nihm MOMENTS with bug & other animal fun facts when replying to someone I LIKE. ME AS NIHM. 😭 I immediately thought of them when the weirdest shit almost escaped my mouth but I still dished out animal facts to an eyecandy I met on friday (who decided to also spend time w me over the weekend). I never had an eyecandy or crush before and I had to restrain from yapping/infodumping.

Me: do you have something against shorties?

Eyecandy: NO, i love them. (looks at me meaningfully)

Me: OKAY COOL DO YOU KNOW THAT-

Later:

Eyecandy: you're good with kids and love sharing about the horses (we were in the stables for volunteering) with them. It's really nice to meet you :]

Me: OH thank youthakyou [going to cover ears because who tf is blushing ha h a not me]

Theres also moments im just showing em bug reels and they called me quirky 💀 goodbye-

This has been a blursed weekend & now I'm a yearner. I'm gonna take my heart out and try to keep it in a bug cage. I do not know I would react this way and no, I feel called out now knowing an IF has a RO with a personality like me.

Ok end of confession. Sent into askbox. Will now suffer irl (DO NOT PUT HIGH HOPES ON ME I'VE NEVER DATED BEFORE AND IVE BEEN THIS WAY FOR 2 DECADES AND A HALF)

Under the cut! :)

So the question: if the characters were angry enough with someone to kill them, how would they do it?

under the cut!

And why does removing gloves sound so devotional after typing about it so much, lol

Let's say MC fell asleep at their desk while working because they got bored and too comfortable. How would the RO's deal with a disoriented MC waking up when they enter?

I totally didn't doze off at work today... You have no proof that says otherwise.

Go to shleep 🐛

Kieran: assuming pre relationship, theyd back outta the room quietly before mc notices them (unless mc forced them to kiss mcs hand in which case they are the reason mc woke up bc they picked up a book and dropped it loudly against the table. Get up, they unfortunately need you for something.)

Nihm: oopsie sorry they didnt mean to wake you 🐛 tries to pull an L and be persuasive enough that they can convince mc to go back to sleep before they are fully conscious. Puts a blankie over mcs shoulders—there look nice and cozy 💤

Lilith/Lucien: Sits down very studiously/seriously to get their rare sleepy mussed up mc staring time and once mc is aware enough they start simping

Samira: gives mc a whole ass lecture on better sleeping habits while setting down a warm cup of tea and tidying their workspace—and if she’s too absorbed in her lecture, tidying mussed up mc too
