Smallest reminder that you can add me on Disco if we're mutuals if you'd like to shout at me about threads and character dynamics things - especially during the working week as I'm mobile only in hospital. I love this! It just takes me a bit to get comfy.

I'm such a disorganised guy - maybe I have enough things going now that I would benefit from a thread tracker of some sort, so I don't lose anything? I have a terrible time maintaining them usually, but it still may be a good idea.

Cora's inbox is empty though! no longer empty, I just want to keep using this as a drafts progress tracker. OTL And I have roughly six things outstanding, I think ? This list is mostly for me so I don't lose anything, but if you're not on it and you should be please shout at me because I lost it. OTL

Drafts for:

eritvita

heavens-sin

New plotted thing for:

Additionally, if we're not writing presently and you'd like to be, also give me a shout and I will attack your comms (affectionately).

Gentlest of reminders that I answer my Disco messages around %80 of the time, which is wildly more likely than me being able to see IMs here. Feel free to add me if you like, just let me know who you are!

These are the same verse write-ups as on my blog proper, I just wanted a mobile friendly version to add to my pinned post as well since I've had people ask for it. As mentioned elsewhere, I'm always making these and love to make smaller / closed verses so if you'd like to build something that's not here send me a message.

I've been meaning to do a write-up for an OP verse for ages, so this is that. I like to try to make verses open-ended and flexible so I can write reactively with them / place Eden anywhere without breaking anything important, so nothing I write here is going to be completely detailed or fleshed out. If you end up writing in this with me and want to adjust anything or make a more specific / closed verse that works for your character, shoot me a message.

One single night on a cold island in the north, Eden Muir lived and died at the hands of another without ever having seen beyond the place he grew up. As his short life passed before his eyes, right up to the end when everything was swallowed up by darkness, he really didn't expect for that to eventually clear - to wake up whilst in the process of dragging himself out of the ocean, back up the shore.

In this verse, Eden is the last of thirteen victims killed by the same roving criminal across thirteen islands. Because he was targeted randomly and he doesn't remember much of the encounter beyond its brutality, his attacker's intentions were not yet clear to him - clues to these intentions are few and far between, beyond the extensive but seemingly intentional scars he woke up with and the fact that he no longer seems to need to eat, or sleep, or breathe.

Eden now travels from island to island in search of the man who killed him, currently unsure if his purpose is to exact revenge or to find answers. He holds few long term connections with the living, and since he cannot see or sail on his own he barters passage on vessels that will have him by offering a hand with work, basic field medicine, and - for those willing to entertain it - a kind of weird sightless navigation he can do that's based on the way the waves pitch the ship. Seafaring voyages are not something he's used to or even something he really enjoys, so it takes him a long time to get used to it and to learn to work effectively even though he's afraid.

----

Mechanically, I'm going to run Eden's weird ghost abilities more or less like I usually do. Devil fruit powers are fun, but I'm also tempted to make him just ~like that~. There are already zombies in this series, but I don't want to tie him to that particular arc and I imagine the circumstances of the way he exists are a little different than the corpses animated by the shadows of others.

I do - I haven't gotten to play around a whole lot with them yet, but I do have a few where he hangs on long enough to be scraped up by the marines. They involve a lot of themes around: recovering from debilitating injury, feeling very much like a failure, and having to navigate a now even more complicated relationship between his family/background and his work with the marines and what he feels he owes the kid he was trying to protect.

When I make verses and AUs (unless they're closed) I try to keep them fairly open ended so I can write reactively with them, so I don't set a lot of what he's been up to in stone. I'll probably make more specific ones as I go if the people I interact with want them.

Game ran late, but I made a thing.
