hc + 🌍 for a travel-themed headcanon

Despite her work, Ava has yet to travel outside of the United States--many of the dig sites she's interested in are in her home country anyway. Inevitably, though, she'll want to travel somewhere like China or Egypt to look for some of her favorite fossils.

💀 — [ it wasn't a threat, but the vampire's face - journey of a reaction was so funny. like a startled cat with his ears perked and pupils dilated. Cesare can't help but razz him, a devious smile spanning his lips. ] 

“ That depends. Did it scare you? ”

It was New Years, though in space he wondered how much that really mattered, but Raifer liked to be able to keep track of Earth's times and seasons, but more importantly, he loved an excuse to celebrate.

Raifer also loved any excuse for drinking to excess, and already, it seemed he was working well on his way to being inebriated. It took more alcohol than most to finally start making an impact on the giant of a man, but he could do it, given enough bottles of the good stuff.

Slinging an empty bottle through the air, it would break upon some unfortunate party attendant's head, but what Raifer wasn't aware of didn't matter to him. He stumbled forward some, leaning his weight on a hand that held onto the arm of his throne while his other reached for another bottle down beside it. Pulling up, he felt a rush to his head and stumbled back to fall back into the seat.

"Woo," he expressed as he relaxed back, resting a leg over the arm of the throne. Getting to work on the cap of the bottle, he noticed someone tall standing not far. He lifted his head to attention, immediately feeling the cool sensation of metal pressed to his forehead. His eyes lit up with some brief shock, but soon followed was snickering, then into giggling as he realized.

"You... you make me feel things that I can not express in a polite way right now," he managed to say as coherent as possible, "Some things not appropriate for a lady of your status..." his bare hand didn't reach to grab her. Instead, he dragged down the length of her covered arm as he sighed and peered up to a familiar, hidden face.

"Now that's what you call a gift!" Raifer exclaimed, wild and bright eyes like fire as he held this ancient weapon in his hands. Fingers wrapped around the handle as he ran the palm of his hand lightly across etched sides, giving it a quick twirl between nimble fingers and a look down the curved spine of the blade itself.

He wasn't thinking of it much in the heat of the moment while inspecting it, but his festive choice of clothing was a bit impractical for swinging a weapon like this around, most noticeably the generic wrapped present box strapped at the front of his waist. For some, it might've been best to leave that "gift" wrapped.

"Feels like you're spoiling me here! I'm actually excited to use this thing," he continued, pulling the fake, white, and bushy beard down from his mouth to hang at his chest, "Ya know how many coffee mugs I've gotten as "Christmas gifts"? Not even anything good on the side of 'em either. Just... "World's best teacher" or "#1 Dad". This'll take some heads, though!"

Send my muse anons about their relationships.

"Of course he is; he's my father, too, and I love him more than anything else in the world!" Annalise grins, a mouthful of pearly white fangs that rivaled the vampire's.

"He's... he was one of the first supernatural beings I had ever encountered outside of my forest. Then again, I was... quite isolated... but I felt comforted by his presence. It was a new experience, meeting someone so different yet so similar, two supernatural creatures meeting after centuries of being alone. Though he is not a dragon... he is still my family."

"Oh, for me? Mm, thank you," Annalise grins, taking a little sip of the warm, chocolately goodness that was hot cocoa.

After savoring the taste for a small moment, she sighs, leaning back in her seat.

@nighttbound these are great questions

A line Limbo won't cross under any circumstances

limbo's not going to hurt a kid. kids already have it rough. nothing limbo does can ever be comprehended by a young mind, so he has turned his back on big customers just because the job would involve someone young. he even gets the heebie jeebies about people in their early 20s.

Can Limbo fall or be corrupted further if pushed?

yeah, i'd say so. i discussed a post apocalypse AU where limbo's screen keeps him alive against his will. with literally nobody but a gun and the voices in his head, limbo wanders the wasteland, killing anyone he sees.

in this main verse, limbo will do pretty much anything you want, provided you wave enough money in his face.

Are Limbo's loved ones the exception to their behavior, or does he treat them poorly?

limbo and tabby's relationship is generally idyllic. in limbo's brain, he likes to think that he is a normal guy with a shitty job. doing goofy relationship stuff with tabby kinda keeps him alive, both literally and metaphorically (tabby created and maintained his life support system, which kept him from dying as intended). people in the local scene know not to "fuck with limbo's girl." tabby sees him as a reserved but upstanding man, who struggles with severe physical/mental problems but is genuinely trying to better himself (keep in mind that, in the manuscript, limbo is trying to leave the mob, and is generally less aggressive than on tumblr).
