I think at this point, I’m going to move One and Zero onto the hub. Whilst I hold a lot of sentimental attachment to One’s blog due to it being my first blog, the less blogs I have to manage the better and also I think it just makes more sense to have One be on the hub instead. I’ll likely also thus add Gabriella, Brother One, Michael, and Mikhail to the hub as well. 

Brother One will be his own muse, Gabby, Michael, and Mikhail will not be because they are very attached to One & Zero respectively, but it’s mostly Mikhail really.

Michael’s the main one who perhaps will be an exception and be his own muse, because of the fact I have my own headcanons regarding him and his background and plus we get a snippet of his past as well, so I feel like I could indeed pull him off as being his own muse.

Mikhail however is very very attached to Zero, and Gabriella we know NOTHING about regarding her background and I don’t really have much headcanons for that time in her life, so she’ll thus be attached to One. 

So, in short: One and Zero will be moved to the hub blog, Gabriella and Mikhail will be guest muses attached to One and Zero, Brother One and MAYBE Michael will also be added as their own muses.

With Brother One I do just want to say, I’ll be playing him as I please, will likely be ignoring a lot of Shi Ni Itaru Aka because SNIA is...its SNIA. The only good it’s done is give us DOD 1.3. Though obviously some things will stay, like ahem him founding a cult and getting a hitched to a lady and having descendants and then later murdering them all because he realizes his grave mistake in creating them, but that’s the main thing I’m keeping really. Cause those are fundamental Drakengard lore but otherwise I’m throwing SNIA out the window.

As soon as she got an answer, the sorceress couldn’t help but frown softly. No, it was the first time she heard of such a place. One of her hands passed by her white hair while the other actually accepted One’s help to get up, finding the gesture of kindness to be rather heartwarming.

Despite being a world that was unknown to her, this woman didn’t outright get freaked out by her appearance, so that was a good sign. However, as soon as she was back on her two feet, Kalliope looked around herself once again; her frown deepening a bit more.

“I…no…Midgard? First time I hear of it.” How could she break it down to One? What was she going to say? That she came from another world so straightforwardly?

Gazing back at the Intoner with her pupilless eyes, the half-demon chuckled awkwardly.

“Uhm…do you know what I am?” Perhaps starting by trying to find out if tieflings were a thing here, was a good starting point.

After One had helped Kalliope up and the woman answered her question by saying she’d never heard of Midgard before, One’s expression became more serious. Partial memory loss at the best, then, seemed to be what was at work here.

“ I see... ”

What should she do? One wasn’t opposed to giving her some place to stay for the time being, Gabriella would probably complain, but that wasn’t of One’s concern. Plus, Gabriella complained about everything.

However, the question Kalliope then asked caught One slightly off guard, for she didn’t expect her to ask her something like that. It only really served to heighten One’s concern- did this woman not even know what she was? How much of her memory did she lose? One prayed it wasn’t nearly or all of it.

“ This is the first time I have seen someone with an appearance like yours. I would’ve assumed you’d been cursed if you did not just ask that. ”

With every passing moment One was honestly just growing more concerned. She supposed the best confirmation of how bad the memory loss this woman has suffered was to ask her to introduce herself, if she could at least remember who she was then that would be better than nothing. 

“ Might I ask who you are, miss? ”

*HIDES BEHIND ONE*

She freezes when Four hides behind her, she’s not sure what she should do. She wants to protect her little sister but-

As possibly expected, when Kalliope started to wake up, the first thing the tiefling would be greeted with was the bright red eyes of the strange woman.

Could’ve been more alarming, but counting with that she herself was a half-demon made things a little easier. That wouldn’t rest that the sorceress got tense and sat up rather quickly once realizing she was on the floor, letting out a soft gasp that would make her cover her mouth not long after.

Her tail was swinging nervously and her light blue eyes gazed at the Intoner. Just, how lucky has she been with this person being the one to find her? As for now, she didn’t sense any malice from her.

“I’m sorry, I-…“ Looking around, alarmed, Kalliope would then bite her bottom lip. “A bad landing, probably. It doesn’t happen much but…”

What a strange place…and what a strange girl in front of her. She could’ve thought at first that she was simply a human, yet…

“…where am I? It’s the first time I hear of a place called ‘Cathedral City’…”

At the very least indeed One managed to avoid startling Kalliope too much, much to her relief, the soft gasp doing near nothing to irritate her senses. She simply looked at Kalliope with a look of curiosity as she stated she probably had a ‘bad landing’. 

“ You are in the continent of Midgard. The Cathedral City is it’s capital. How come you did not know that? Are you perhaps a bit disoriented, miss? ”

One asked, now a bit concerned about this woman given she apparently had never heard of the Cathedral City before, making One think she was perhaps at best disoriented, at worst perhaps hit her head hard enough during her ‘bad landing’ as to end up an amnesiac or with partial memory loss. 

As One asked Kalliope those questions, she also offered a hand to her to help her up, for after all she was still on the floor and it was perhaps a better idea for her to talk to One standing up. 

What an oddity, to have found someone appearing so odd on the ground and seemingly passed out. One looked at the purple skinned woman with a raised eyebrow as she awaited her to awaken on her own. She didn’t want to startle her by waking her herself; for both the woman’s sake and for One’s senses to not implode from whatever noise she would make. 

Yet, One suspected it would be inevitable that she would end up startling the woman at least a little bit, but she wanted to try to avoid that as much as possible.

And soon as she saw the woman beginning to awaken, One would look at her with a calm expression, beginning to speak in an equally as calm tone in hopes of not scaring the woman. After all, waking up to a random girl with crimson eyes in front of you would possibly alarm anyone at least slightly.

in your heart. old grudges and stinging tears. the feeling of betrayed love aching, turning hollow like a decaying stump, rotting... a hole in your chest where love once resided.

Agares scoffed at such a notion.

“You think I’ll allow myself to die before I wring her neck? Please.”

“That is something I can promise you, whole heartedly.”

The grin that took her face at the mere thought, her hand coming up to her bandages and tracing them. The pain there, the memories of it, good enough to push her forward with her goal.

One knew full well how much Agares wanted Zero dead. One wanted her dead too, which was why they were working together despite Agares’s...concerning demeanor. A faint smile forms on One’s face.

“I really get to choose a new hobby for you, One? I’m so glad you trust me enough! Hmmm… Maybe dancing? I heard that’s popular with some people and you’d be graceful enough, I think.”

“Of course I trust you enough Four. Although, dancing? Hm. I’ve never really danced that much. I’m open to trying it, though. I’m not sure where I’d start, though...”
