thread a tale...

referencing my last post, new muses are likely to be 

~some hypmics finally

~a new fire emblem

~Ensemble Stars!

~A Fate character or two

I’ve been thinking about starting fresh! Some of the anxiousness I have about coming back revolves around things I owe that I’ve let sit for awhile. So let me know if you have any threads with me that you want to save! I’ll gladly keep them going! It’s just a lot and overwhelming. I think that clearing out some of the things I have to write will make me more comfortable. Just reply to this if you have a thread you wanna keep, don’t hesitate! Odds are I do too, I’m just making sure it’s okay!

Also!!! Don’t be afraid to start new threads, like scs, reply to open starters, etc. Honestly, new content will probably help me through this bumpy patch in writing. Whether we’ve interacted or not, always feel free to approach me with ideas!

Some muses might be coming and going as I gain motivation to write some characters I’ve always wanted to. But unfortunately some are also fading, so look out for character changes!

      It seems he’s exhausted most of his divine energy for the day. That mystical connection that tethers him to the grace of his exalted ancestors ( long dead, never forgotten) had begun to ebb. All this prophesizing takes quite the toll, today being no exception.  Bleary eyes blink closed once, twice, as he forced his weary body to do his bidding a short while longer. Soon enough he would be home to his luxuries and his comfort. This evening even spared him enough time for a bath. ~Immersing himself in warmth and bubbles~ The thought alone was enough to keep him moving until-

‘‘Hey, Azusa-kun… what are you doing?’‘ Worry filled the idol’s features.

“Oh, I didn’t notice you come in...”

     Why is it his brothers always get nervous when they find him alone in the kitchen? He was just going to prepare food for himself. There was a frying pan on a burner, and a pot of water nearing a boil on another. He’s not completely incapable, so why is it they watch him like hawks in here?

“Are you hungry? You could help me.”

     Not that he particularly needed help. He was just lonely. The house has been quiet for a few hours since Ruki had gone out for the day. He’d figured Kou was gone too, but that must not have been the case. Maybe he’d just come back, or he was having his “beauty sleep.”

     Without waiting for an answer he moves to the vegetables he’d gathered a few minutes ago and gets a cutting board from the counter.

The moment she had heard these poor young men were eating flour- even jokingly bringing it up as a funny memory -was the precise moment Tatiana had enough with merely healing. Sure, she tended to forget her cooking, but she at least had more sense and recipes for tough times than these poor Zofians who had been driven to such awful means!

So! She made the group some hardtack. Well, okay, she tried to, but she saw Zeke across the camp and started waving and smiling and giggling and moving over to give him hugs and kisses and maybe burnt it a little. Which meant time for a back up plan!

“Father help me I’m going to make sure that you all eat some real food.” She huffed as she peered at the bushes and ground, her unfortunate scavenging buddy trailing behind her, “Berries are mostly out of season, but we might be able to find some. Don’t pick white ones, come get me if you find red ones, and black ones should generally be alright. I think there should be a few shallots about, too. You’re going to need to look for a bulb and or a cluster of thin, somewhat tubular leaves.”

Maybe if they were really lucky they could find a carrot or two.

     Figures he got stuck on foraging duty! He was about to beg Alm for pity but the fleeting memories of flour, and treating dried fish like a commodity got him shuffling off after their new chef. Still doesn’t explain why he specifically got picked to accompany her along. He’s no plant expert. Hell, what in Mila’s name is a tubular leaf? Kliff’s all smart, he probably knows, so he should be the one out here! But maybe she needs a strong, capable protector should they run into trouble! That has to be it, nothing else made sense!

“Way ahead of ya, boss. In case you didn’t know I’m a berry picking expert! You’re gonna be amazed, you’ll see!”

                  ۩ - - -  Kanato was slowly starting to realize just how messed up Azusa had become. Whoever made him believe these things surely deserved the same death as his mother. It was unforgivable and it’d be difficult to change these kinds of things. 

“Yes it does count, hurting yourself is being mean to yourself….” Kanato confirmed with a nod. “If you do that you’ll make your brothers worried about you and you don’t want that right??”  

He squeezed his Teddy closer to his body, hoping that the wording made sense. “Take better care of yourself and you’ll feel better..”

     He really is trying to understand this mentality. He does every time someone brings it up. But he’s never quick enough for his siblings. Ruki insists he has to figure it out alone. Kou loses interest and Yuma gets frustrated. They’re always just so unhappy with him. He’s been a bother to them for too long at this point. So he steels himself for the challenge ahead and nods. 

“ I’ll try to.”

     He can’t make promises or anything. Especially since in all honesty, this uncomfortable situation is making him want to do something “bad.” It’s awkward, and he just wants to bite at the skin around his nails, or use said nails to get underneath his andages and just scratch.  He actually has to let his eyes close so he can get a grip on himself. Can’t be doing that sort of thing anymore. Not this soon after saying he’d try to change. Gritting his teeth, ash violet eyes blink back open and it’s an easy deduction that he’s struggling.

Yui suddenly froze. As if time had frozen, her mind suddenly filled with dread. It shouted ‘danger!’ Though it didn’t explain a thing. Almost like a zombie, Yui backed away from the door.

In an instant, everything happened at once. The door slammed open so hard it rattled on the frame. His figure was above her, mere inches from her, and his words pierced right through her. Was she…still breathing? So scared, Yui couldn’t even tremble.

“Eat…I’ll…” Words escaped her lips, but not quite right. She couldn’t remember how to speak.

“So you’ll do it then.”

     It wasn’t a question. Unless directed towards his brother, Shin didn’t ask questions. Such things were completely and totally beneath him. He hadn’t moved any closer, for there was no need. Regarding her expression with satisfaction, he’s aware he’s done enough. 

     Flashing a wide, toothy grin, he continues.

“ Lovely. I just knew you’d see it my way.”

     Sure he’s calmed down, but those words are venom. A fatal poison dripping from his lips. Couldn’t ever let her think she was safe. The instant she starts to feel comfortable here, everything gets more difficult. Have to avoid that situation at all costs.
