I like to know my writing partner. This isn’t always necessary, and if you’re not the sort of person who tries to get chummy with their roleplaying buddies, that’s absolutely fine, but in my experience, the plots and characters that last the longest are the ones with the players that I can message at 3 in the morning with an idea without feeling like I’m bothering them.

kayn. /// inumbrate.
a voice in the depths of his mind tries to interject, telling him he doesn’t deserve rakan’s kindness or encouragement. the dark whisper strikes a quiet fear that he might hurt the feathered friend he’d made, but he suppresses it — pushes it away, fights it tooth and nail for a swift beat. somehow, the vastayan’s optimism and rallying makes it easier ; kayn isn’t certain why that is, but it feels good… and more-so? he enjoys how it makes him feel. he enjoys feeling like the end of that tunnel or forest or road isn’t awash with blood… that it doesn’t have to end with him not knowing who is in control — him or rhaast. there is consolation in the idea that he could be the one standing tall, that he could win back his own flesh and mind. whether he deserves it or not, he wants to be selfish, for once, in his life. his good eye flicks to his companion’s hand and he lets out a quiet sigh, licking at his bottom lip as he reaches out and clasps the profference of aid firmly ; giving his own sign that he aims to accept the other’s help in this mess. ❛ — not sure how i lucked out, y’know, in making a friend like you — but… thank you. ❜ a flash of a smile and a sincerity in his voice, in his features.
❛ you don't have to thank me. ❜ it's not a rejection of his gratitude, not necessarily. the actions of a friend are different from that of a stranger, the amiability of his words stem from the mere fact they're friends. it's that alone that allows him to become a shoulder to cry on ——— ahah, perhaps not entirely, he supposes. there's a difference in doing it solely because he's a friend & doing it because he wants to. to rakan, he does it for both reasons : a base desire that grows at his heart to fend off any intrusive thoughts that permeate through kayn's mind, reminding him that, in fact, things will turn out okay. probably not now. probably not tomorrow. it's when they get to the end of the road they're on. perhaps beyond the horizon ? who knows. there's too many factors to consider, deliberating over each one wouldn't exactly be of use. he knows how he feels, that's all he needs.
❛ what're friends for, am i right ? ❜ lips curve into yet another grin, typical of his visage to be adorned with one, though. natural smiles were more his thing. no shame in wanting to appear more bright, was there ? it made him stand out a little more. good. more of an excuse to garner any audience's attention. ❛ if you really wanna say thanks, though ... maybe some chocolate wouldn't hurt. ❜ silence, for a few moments before a slight chuckle escapes him again. ❛ just kidding, i swear ! ❜
lux. /// finalsparke.
❛ rakan ? ❜ there’s a twinge of panic that laces in her words and uncertain movements , head twists and turns in every direction to find where ever he was at. she was not the most perceptive , obviously , but lux eventually sees him. her hands mingle together , mimi hovering just over her shoulder in a comforting manner.
but she can do anything to feel comforted. her jaw tightens , feet shift to take steps back , ( to turn , run , whatever it took to get away from another problem she had been confronted with. ) it was a weakness of hers , to avoid confrontation and avoid generally anything that made her uncomfortable. but this ? seeing rakan like this ? was more than uncomfortable. damning , almost.
lux half - expects xayah to pop out of the shadows and kill her. it was not outside of the realm of possibilities , and she does her best to keep this in mind.
❛ i wouldn’t say special is the right word , ❜ her eyes shift around , trying to find an out , feet still shuffling to stay out of his literal shadow. ❛ we’re all star guardians , we all have our own strong suits. ❜ words tumble out past her lips , trying to make idle conversation.
AS EXPECTED OF A FAUX LEADER, bestowed a title that she has no right of holding. in his eyes, she may be the brightest star in their team, burning, shining, lux is the hope of the future, a promise for starlight's rebirth, she is a beacon quietly revered by all ——— even those that held their own criticisms perceived the blossoming potential that lied dormant within her. / precisely why her fall would be a tragedy for all to behold, a horizon where the sun sets, darkness taking ahold of all, control seized & power granted to damned brat zoe. it would all be for her. for careless promises that would trade one life for the other, where a corrupted heart ( hers, hers, the one that's embraced this darkness, that refuses to chase the light /// her choice made long ago, but was this choice hers to make ? ) may see that sublime glimmer, a promise of purity, be restrained by peace's teachings. it's all for her.
albeit this solitary mission is for him to take, a steady breath & hardened heart does what it deems necessary, worrying not over trifling details. if one must be hurt, if one must be threatened, he is prepared to become the villain of the story. this is one where happiness is a theory, a pre - supposed fact that all can experience, but grief's grasp cannot be understated, it is foreboding & it is near, it never discriminates ; child, adult, human, star guardians, none can escape it. this is a story where loss is inevitable. & he accepts that. while there must be a sacrifice for a grand finale, what leads up to it cannot be forsaken, it is just as important as the main act. a gradual build up that shall leave his audience in awe at his gallant voice, his beloved dance. for now, this was a necessity.
❛ right, right, we all have our strong suits, that's just it. ❜ familiar vocal vibration follows his statement, it's a hum, all too relaxed, as if he enjoyed this. he strides towards her, refusing her an escape from his shadows, for that would be absolving her of responsibility, absolving her of that discomfort that paints every feature of her face. / mimi can't save you. / albeit he's a threatening force, a reborned version of rakan ( he is no longer that amiable man of the past, very one who would generously offer to sing, to soothe his team's anxieties ), the light eludes his smirk, but he is still rakan. whatever her plan was, idle conversation, he takes the bait, stalls on his own actions. knowingly ? unknowingly ? no idea. it's unimportant.
❛ because we're star guardians, we're special, isn't that right ? ❜ he's not asking for elucidation, he's simply echoing her words. ❛ you really are pathetic. ❜ she sees through rose colored lenses, the idealized world of a romantic, where nature blooms, the sun radiates, & chaos is but a myth of the past. what a fucking joke. ❛ if all star guardians were special in their own right, then all of them would work together, right ? ❜ a moment of silence, the ire becomes more evident in his eyes, it contorts his features, his triumphant grin is gone, lips pursing into a frown cursed by the past, by his own fall !!! brows furrow, & he maintains a leveled volume, refusing to let her see emotion's effects. ❛ if all star guardians were special, i wouldn't have been left to die. me & xayah weren't saved. miss basic didn't look back. she got herself out. do you really believe anything you're saying, lux ? ❜

kat what the fuck. absolute fucking poggers. anyway,
P : PARTNER. what does your muse look for in a partner? looks / personality?
can you kick his ass? can you care for him as much as he cares for you? that’s perfect. he’ll love you. he needs to be able to click well with the person! looks wise? uh……..i dunno. just be sexy? what’s defined as ‘sexy’? idk man maybe have some nice legs? who knows
O : ODE. does your muse have a way with words?
hey i’m literally a dumbass that loves poetry and LOVES to project don’t ask me this question. rakan does have a way with words, but i like to think that’s mainly because of the songs he’s learned and sings. regardless, he probably does fumble a bit with his words if he doesn’t know what to say exactly. it’s customary.
G : GIFT. is your muse good at gift - giving or do they struggle to get it right?
he struggles with it! this comes from the fact he’s very indecisive and has to put a lot of thought into thinking what his partner likes, and thinking abt what to give them? is it something they’d like? if it’s not, what else is there? are they really gonna like it? he deliberates over those types of questions and, as such, takes way too long to get a gift for his partner.
