honestly speaking, the sun is a little freak.

it's why giselle's still keeping most of her travel times to the later hours, shuffling along in the dark. even now, the bright lights of the Cotes bullet train makes her squint behind her sunglasses.

(why were they called that anyways, why not dark glasses or night glasses—)

there's a man in the same carriage as her, slumped over in his seat like he's half-dead. he better not be dead, she thinks, or else she'd be imagining his rotting corpse for the rest of the night.

ew, gross.

"hey." she gets up and nudges his leg with her cute designer heels. "are you gonna sleep here all night, uncle?"

And done!

Hanabi wants to put her cute paper with her wish on a higher part of the pole, but she can't reach it! Perhaps a little cheating won't hurt anyone. She levitates the paper until it reaches the desired spot, and there, it fits just nicely.

"Hehe--!"

She's grumbling about something, bouncing her leg and mumbling to herself. Suddenly, her head shoots up catching the presence of another.

"Hey-you look pretty normal. Can I bother you a sec?"

"I don't draw, but sure."

If the man turns around he'll be met with not one pair of eyes but two, one far more piercing than the other. Ratha's perched on Leo's shoulder, tail wrapped around the back of his neck for balance. The protection of his ranger uniform keeps talons from digging into Leo's shoulder. It's a new development- when the both of them had been small, once upon a time, the prince's shoulder still hadn't been large enough. By the time it would have been, Ratha had very quickly outgrown him.

"To bother you, sir. This might be a strange question, but-"

"Do you know if there are any monster stables around here?" He hadn't seen a single familiar monster save for Ratha since waking up here, not counting those metal contraptions zipping all over the place. It did make sense to some degree that he hadn't, what with all the people walking around. There was hardly even any room for one, what with so many buildings crowding the place. The sheer scope of this place left Leo feeling uneasy.

( thank you a lot for the questions ! <3 now, onto the answers ! chirp, chirp, chirp~ )

2. have you ever accidentally given a muse a trait from yourself without realizing it?

this has happened the most with OC muses, but yes, i've done it far too many times to really count... i think i'm a people pleaser at heart and that bleeds into my character writing... it's really hard for me to write overly confident characters. ( mami was a challenge at first for this exact same reason, though it was much easier than usual due to her emotional fragility & depth. )

3. what's the weirdest real-life inspiration you've ever used for a muse or scene?

does 'working as a library intern at a masonic lodge' count? i know i use that experience as a bit of a starting point whenever i write scene about librarian muses or library scenes in general. heheh

4. do you write your drafts in order or jump around?

generally i try to do it in order, but whenever inspiration strikes for a certain thread i'll just jump towards it! RP Thread Tracker is a good tool i've been using to avoid too much jumping since opening this blog and it's been great and i recommend it 100% for any Tumblr-based RPers!

Send 💭 + a topic and my muse will tell you what they think about it.
