Apologies For The Sudden Disappearance. At The Beginning Of November, I Left The Country To Attend My

Apologies for the sudden disappearance. At the beginning of November, I left the country to attend my grand uncle's funeral and haven't really had the drive to be active on my blogs. Right now I'm focusing on getting back into writing.

I'm going to put this blog through a soft refresh of sorts to fix it, organize my muses and drafts to see what I need to catch up with, and post a few things I had been previously working on. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

STYLE [ from kairi! ]

     ۵ ◜𝄞◞ ۵ ┊ “Kairi what’s this all about?” She asks, a soft laugh in her tone. 

     For a while now Kairi had been leading her around the Destiny Islands; showing her the sights and taking in the scenery. Not that they hadn’t done this all before, but Gemiya never tired of the scenery here. It was calming for her, relaxing and a small reprieve in times where she felt as if she constantly had to keep her guard up.

     At first it seems like a regular hangout, complete with a small bit of shopping on the residential island. Gemiya was quite happy about the freshly made crepe in her hand, happily biting down on it and careful not to waste a single drop of cream or chocolate. While munching away at the treat, she followed Kairi around and she seemed- intent on buying particular items. Gemiya knew Kairi had a penchant for collecting hair accessories ( the adorable minnie ears coming to mind ) so she figured this was part of it. Looked like there was a new stock of hair clips and bows that had come in and of course, Kairi couldn’t resist. 

     Gemiya didn’t think much of it, but with the sun setting it was probably time for them to head in for the night and the two made their way to Kairi’s place. The brunette merely followed Kairi’s lead but as soon as the both of them step into her room, Gemiya had frozen in place.

     “Oh.” Of course. Now she knows what this is about. Gemiya’s complexion fades into a pale state, only now just realizing what had been going on up until this moment.

The day had all been an elaborate trap in order to get Gemiya to drop her guard and agree to what Kairi had very obviously prepared. The vanity is lined with different leave-in conditioners, clean hairbrushes, a hair curler and straigthener and hair accessories. Everything is tip-top and ready and practically sparkling as Kairi had made it look all too inviting. Dark Honey eyes scan the rest of the vanity, looking for-- ah. There it is. The dreaded tool. Scissors. They’re not in place with the rest of the hair styling items but the fact they were there! No.... no. Gemiya is about to turn around, but of course Kairi is at the doorway blocking her exit.

     “I’m... not getting out of this am I?” Gemiya could see it in the other’s eyes. 

     Kairi why? Kairi knows Gemiya is particular about her hair and is even fussier about who handles it. Yet... she can’t back out now since Kairi had treated her to the crepe and a couple of other treats earlier. She knew it was too good to be true. Kairi had always wanted to style her hair... and Gemiya honestly couldn’t blame her. What with the length and soft curl to it? It is rather inviting.

     “Fine. Okay fine. No scissors though!” 

     It doesn’t take long but Gemiya admits defeat and agrees to let Kairi have her fun. Part of her wants to curse how easily she gave in but... how could she regret it when she could see the sparkle in the eyes of one of her closest friends upon agreeing.

     As if worried that Gemiya might take it back, Kairi is happily quick to get to work on her dark chocolate tresses. At the very least, Gemiya could see her friend’s elated expression through the vanity mirror ( as well as make sure she doesn’t reach for those scissors ).

     After about an hour’s worth of work, Kairi proclaims that she is done. From what Gemiya could see, there was a lot of braiding done but judging by the grin on her friend’s face there seems to be more to it. Kairi proudly hands over a small handmirror over to Gemiya so that she could better see the handiwork. 

     Sure enough, as Gemiya turns around and sees the back of her head by using the vanity’s mirror and handmirror in tandem; there’s a lovely rose formed out of the braids and adorned with hairclips containing fabric flowers and leaves. 

     “Oh wow. I didn’t expect this level of style from you.” Goodness. Not to mention this level of patience! 

     “I’ll have to figure out how to return the favor one day. How do you feel about growing your hair long again so I can style it sometime? I could probably find a hair growth spell or potion somewhere if I look hard enough.~”

“ you’ve been so quiet. what’s on your mind? ” ( For Bennett!! )

►  ❪ QUESTIONS  ❫

         The flame of optimism to go unnoticed was thoroughly extinguished by Mondstadt's cavalry captain astute observation. Energy dimmed, a peculiar quiet where enthusiasm would once be found, perhaps Bennett shouldn't have been as surprised as he was upon receiving the remark. Yeah, he  [ usually ]  received a wide berth, space sought to be put between the wary and him / his terrible luck, but others who knew him even a little beyond that might note the unexplained shift in normal behaviour as enough of a clue something was off.

         A strangely pitched grunt rumbled from the base of his throat, lips moving to shape consonants and vowels, but efforts bore no fruit. Words failed to materialize and pierce his silence. A thumb jutted at opened mouth — a hint, an indication of the consumption of an item — before he shook his head. A gesture's made towards his throat, straightened hand sweeping back and forth, a slicing motion.

         The ability to speak was stripped from him. Any other time he'd jump at the chance to speak with Kaeya but Bennett's left with naught but his thoughts, unable to communicate beyond the scope of body language.

 Youve Been So Quiet. Whats On Your Mind? ( For Bennett!! )

         Sheepish grin crept onto his features, a touch guilty, eyes flicking about before returning to the man. The ensuing shrug and heavy sigh's clear:  ❛ what can ya do, right ? ❜  In reality, he brought this on himself. The adventurer ate something out in the wild he  ( in retrospect )  shouldn't have yesterday and karma came to collect, blessing him with an ailment, afflicting him since rising with the morning sun. He's been at it all day, trying out all kinds of natural remedies. None stuck.

         He'd bounce back in no time, as sure as the wind was free !  This incident ought to have used up a lot of bad luck so what awaited him would be a better tomorrow. Hopefully, Kaeya would still be willing and able to talk when that tomorrow did roll around.

         Gaze, near unblinking, followed animated motions full of vigor, mechanics brought to a stand still by the simple array of minute expressions on display. A kaleidoscope of emotion bursting red, pulsing, seemingly full of energy / positivity / life itself — vibrant colour demanded the eye's attention and sat on the cusp of drowning out everything around her, reducing the world and Aigis to pastels. It's difficult to look away, to not be fascinated by the brilliant spark acting as her catalyst.          Metallic synaptics fired, information received, analyzed, broken down, yet an answer failed to materialize. The open ended question full of foreign theoreticals sat within, processors rendered effectively null as wait chains began to stack up. Haltingly, the query echoed under simulated breath. Curious. To wish, such a human concept. What would a machine hope to desire ?  They're designed from the ground, piece by piece painstakingly assembled to correct calculations to carry out a specific overall purpose, steel ( heart, if you can refer it as such ) deathly still, each minor task contributing toward the whole. At present it served no functional use to stray outside the bounds of assignment. Therefore, one logical conclusion sufficed.  ❝ I do not have a 'wish' outside of the fulfillment of my duties to a satisfactory degree. Is it not the same for you ? ❞

 ' , Lies An Existence All Too Similar To Palladion's Entrails. A Miracle Masquerading As An Imposter,

𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐋'𝐒 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐑, lies an existence all too similar to palladion's entrails. a miracle masquerading as an imposter, eurydice understood your inadequacy. the sense of belonging all tied to this grand mission, unable to defy the shackles placed upon you by your creator —— and she, despite the beckoning's of life, was just as much of a fraud, although she lacked clarity. mindlessly absorbing a blank space, she plays the ideal heroine so sickenly well. upbeat and kind, she bounces after you with such youthful velocity. unbothered by the torment of life, she reveals to you an invigorating smile. ❝ aigis, what sort of things do you wish for ? ❞ @asteriskheart

Gemiya Wins

Gemiya wins 😂

         Eyes gloss over columns and rows, two bingos pinpointed through the wide spread of penned eighth notes at a speed beyond realistic feasibility before discerning gaze flicks back up, radiating smugness from every pore after screening the card.

         ❝ Well well well. ❞ It's hard to resist the smirk threatening to split her face in two, so she won't even begin to try. ❝ And you didn't even need to be a villain to be after my own heart, right Gemi ? ❞
