Date Auction Bid Reactions

(Rey's Date Auction)

[gracile]

[Oh this was unexpected.] --oh, goodness!

I really wasn't expecting any bids from someone I didn't know...

My name's Haru, but, er, I think you probably knew that already.

[bought]

[ This is her second bid. What is going on. People were never the type to bid over her in the past -- really, they just couldn't wait to get rid of her. ]

Really? You'd do that for me?

[ Just this image!! ]

[circumitus]

[What.

[What is she looking at.]

are those supposed to be feet or testicles??

where do you even find shit like this????

@Mikasa Ackerman.

[circumitus]

⬅️ (continued from here)

yeah some people get lucky like that

[Just never Rey. Not that she's complaining, but she can't help but feel a selfish wish sometimes not to be totally alone.

[God, her brother would've had such an easier time with these things than she ever could.]

dont think its up to you when you go back tho
thats how it was most of the time on prismatica
didnt have control over shit

[loadbearing]

Is it lucky?

[Mikasa wasn't so sure. Given the situation had so many unknowns. How Eren and Armin both seemed to be acting slightly different. Was it just the situation.]

so what
do people just wake up back home again



that doesn't make sense

@Cardan Greenbriar

[circumitus]

⬅️ (continued from here)

Little over a year. Hadn't planned on going back home after all that... weird shit that happened in the end. Guess there's never really a choice in that shit, though.

[Because she's here now, but at least she wasn't ripped back into her own world again.]

[greenbriar]

You did not plan on leaving Prismatica?

[ He knew there were some who had made that choice, of course. Still, it always surprises him to hear it, after all the misery that his stay had brought him. ]

May I ask for your thoughts on our current situation, then?

greetings REY
is KONOHA
you have time for question now?

[circumitus]

have lots of time

whats up

text ( un: BS_INNA5 )

[overdress]

[ sometime after... the incident ]

hey

[ Great start. Inha has been fumbling over her phone and how exactly to get this conversation rolling for hours now, cradling some coconut sherbet and tapping at the table for several minutes. She'd start pacing back and forth if she hadn't spent all the time after she had recovered focusing on dancing; the only way she could just ignore everything prior.

She's sore. She's hurt. But any bruise on her body isn't a result of her tussle with Rey, fortunately. ]

it's inha, if you forgot
you been holding out alright?

[circumitus]

[Rey has done her fair share of regrettable things during that period of time. It always seemed easier to just distance herself from the problem because, well. No one likes an apology tour, do they?

[Okay. An apology tour probably would've been appropriate after she had tried to kill a few people. What else is new, though? Shit like that is just a normal day for Rey, and that's why she hates it.

[She considers her response when she finds that familiar username on her phone, unsure whether she should even reply right away. Not because she's mad at Inha, but--]

fine

been worse & heal fast

[--ugh, she's more upset with herself for losing control.]

you?

4/16

[overdress]

think you'll be in the woods at the end of the month?

[circumitus]

assuming they fucking let us leave these islands in the next few days then sure

hopefully

why?

[loopsbian]

A fair evening to you, Miss Rei!
I do hope this message finds you well.

I have a challenge of sorts, if you're interested!

[circumitus]

[Sounds pretty sus, but she'll bite.]

that right??

what kind of challenge are you talking about here

Action - midmonth

[loadbearing]

[They'd talked about the arcades and Mikasa had mentioned asking Rey to go later. It'd taken a few days before Mikasa sent another message, a little back and forth over a time when they were both free. Where to meet.

When it got to the right time Mikasa left. Wearing her normal long skirt and button-up shirt combo. Her long-suffering straw hat perched on her head as she made her way to the area. Looking around, trying to spot Rey. It was pretty hard to miss her, just look for the country bumpkin amongst the people dressed normally.]

[circumitus]

[Among the glamor and colorful gems, Rey ends up unintentionally standing out as well. Her dull hues and stiff body language doesn't match well with the natives of this world, who sometimes cast fleeting glances her way wherever she goes back into the city.

[This is why she tends to stick to the woods. It's weird coming back here, but she hadn't gone to the Sapphire District much since she arrived to Sumarlok and it's been a long time since she ever picked up a gaming set. When Mikasa mentioned it, it reinvigorated her curiosity.

[A keen observer as ever, Rey finds Mikasa easily. She approaches, shoulders square and hands stuffed into the pockets of her cargo pants.]

Nice hat. [Did Mikasa always have that?]

[long_live_the_queen]

uh


hey

so I think this is yours

ours

whatever I think I touched you last

[Attached is the image of something serpentine curled around Kaede's arm; it resembled a long ferret or snake, sort of, with soft-edged leaves trailing down its body that resembled fur more than scales. There weren't any limbs visible in the still image of shaggy leaf-fuzz, but a vulpine head peered at the camera with curious red eyes. Its pelt and face looked much like Rey's fox form, but the two little stubs of horn on its brow were very distinctively Kaede's.]

[circumitus]

what

[Rey starts to type more... Until she sees the image attachment. Sorry she can't be more coherent at the moment:]

hOLY SHIT

shortly after penis post

[flatten]

REY
YOU’RE NOT THINKING STRAIGHT CALM DOWN

oh my god eren, lmao.

[circumitus]

am calm now

calmer

whatever its fine not going to do it even if tempting

During monster phase - nsfw at some point

[loadbearing]

[Mikasa hadn't even noticed the network post. She'd just felt like going on a walk, maybe lie on the grass, but she didn't want to be alone. So she went off to where Rey's campsite had been.

The puca paused near the outskirts, keeping a respectable distance was she looked on. Sniffing the air. Just to check if Rey was there, if she was a snake again... Nope, nothing dangerous enough to make her fur stand on end. So Mikasa's shoulders relaxed, her hands coming up to comb through the fur of her lop ears. Then she stamped her foot a few times to announce her presence, the dull thud echoing around her.

Then she journeyed on.]

...Rey?

[Where are you hobo fren?]

[circumitus]

[It's been a little while since her little freakout. Long enough that Rey has collected herself to the point where she isn't about to do something stupid and regrettable.

[Doesn't mean she isn't rattled still, though. Her body doesn't seem to have caught up with her panic, and instead has other things prioritized that it makes going anywhere outside of her camp damn near impossible.

[Too uncomfortable to put on her normal undergarments or even her pants, Rey's just swathed herself in a large cotton blanket for the time being. Until she manages to get her hands on some clothes that don't feel strange or constricting, this will do.

[Returning to the camp from the river, Rey almost doesn't think twice when she hears someone already there. Kainé has been staying here, after all. Though it's not Kainé when Rey makes it back to the campsite. She freezes between some trees, hesitant to approach anyone when she's like... this.]

What are you doing here? [Rey finally asks, vaguely accusatory after the reactions she'd received from the network. Her claws clutch the blanket covering her body; her feet are bare and it's somewhat obvious that she's not wearing much underneath. But it's Mikasa. It's fine. It'll be fine. This is fine.]

[circumitus]

[From here:]

1. frankly??
have no desire to wear clothes around you

2. the dong dangler strikes again

3. no that is NOT what pussyfooting around means
try that again with your toe and will break it off

4. just sneezed and set a cabana on fire need sapphire help help help

5. well at least it isnt another machete incident
this time was just armed with 2 foot long dildo??

6. feel hungover and woke up in temple
feel like such sinner
need painkiller and dignity

TFLN >maybe action later?

[loadbearing]

what is dildo
woke up with two foot long thing too

[And attached was a blurred pic of a lime green dong. Not that Mikasa had realised it was supposed to be a dong yet. Innocence is bliss... ]

are you up

but gurl I think I messed up

[circumitus]

the fuck did you do???

[More like "the fuck DIDN'T you do" am I right?]

[loopsbian]

Good evening, Miss Rei. Would you have the time to discuss a potentially sensitive matter?

I'm honestly at a loss as to anyone else who could answer this question, and it's certainly not something I intend to just ask the network.

[circumitus]

Er, sure. Can't promise anything, but can... try...?

[She isn't used to people coming to her to talk about "sensitive matters", unless she's the one doing the approaching.]

...

What is it?

you ok??

stupid question
sorry

Backdated Brumfast Gift

[long_live_the_queen]

[When Rey leaves the bar one night, someone's following her.

Someone who quickly decides that her ghost-quiet tendencies were a terrible idea for following someone who had similar reactions as herself, so Kaede scuffed a foot against the snow to announce her presence.

After a few more steps, she did one better, and spoke up properly.]

Hey.

[Kaede stopped about two meters back, shifting onto a heel. There was a small object in her hands, wrapped in nondescript brown paper.]

Uh. Here.

[Movements still stiff and awkward, a vector picked up the gift, and drifted over towards Rey to offer it.

It's a knife. A karambit specifically, small but colorful.]

[circumitus]

[It's a good thing that Kaede's common sense sunk in sooner rather than later, as it didn't take long for Rey to realize that she was being followed around. It doesn't help that she's used to it sometimes, often venturing into the less savory neighborhoods in the city.

[But the Sapphire District isn't a known seedy location, so her hackles were especially raised. It isn't until she recognizes the voice that she starts lowering her guard.]

Er, hey--? [Rey starts, only to be cut off when she sees the package being (seemingly telekinetically) presented to her.

[Mouth snapping shut, she looks down at it, staring before accepting the offering out of the air. She keeps the comment that Kaede could've just given it over like a normal person, but Rey knows enough about both of their tendencies that neither of them are normal.

[After a brief pause, she starts to peel open the wrapping, unveiling the knife within.]

Huh. [Box in one hand, she picks up the karambit to study the colorful metal.] Is that... anodizing titanium?

[She'd seen blades like this before, but never tried one out.]

Make Love Not War

[sing_for_me]

[ When the shooting started, Alex was attempting to help get other civilians out of the way through using her speed to get them behind a wall or any kind of cover. Back and forth she went, until a stray bullet manages to Knick her leg, throwing her off guard enough to tumble and roll across the ground.

The injury isn’t too bad, but with bullets flying, she finds herself helpless covering her head and staying low to avoid getting hit. She scrambles for cover— only finding a bench to hide behind. But both sides were trying to close in on each other now, and if they find her—-

That’s when the announcement goes off, someone’s voice urging for peace and love, instead of the ongoing violence. It doesn’t seem to take effect, not right away, seemingly infuriating them more as they draw even closer. ]

[circumitus]

[There was a time where Rey would've just minded her own business. This gang bullshit had nothing to do with her. She could avoid Ruby Underground until they got their shit together, she decided.

[Then the fights broke out onto the surface, and it got harder to ignore. If she didn't have so many people that she gave a damn about in the city, it would've been so much easier. But it's not. So now she's finding herself in the middle of ducking civilians down an alleyway to get out of the line of fire. Sure, she might be a little banged up, bruised, and there's some blood on her lip from having taken a fall, but she's seen people in far worse conditions.

[After pointing the next gem the direction of the clinic, Rey turns to find the bench where a familiar woman is hiding behind.

[Cursing under her breath, she stoops behind a currently abandoned food cart display, getting as close to the bench as possible. Even after the broadcast, Rey doesn't trust that they'll actually just stop what they're doing... right?

[With a discreet whistle to catch Alex's attention, Rey attempts to wave the woman over behind the cart once she sees an opening. If they hurry, they can get out of this without being seen.]

REY
good evening
i has a question
can you read something for i?

[circumitus]

can do that sure

what is it??

un: laughingtoadstool, June 3

[soulfusedinn]

Dear Rey,

I hope this missive finds you in good health. I was hoping you had time to answer some questions about the powers that ruby gembonded have, as I do believe that you are a ruby yourself.

Specifically, I have heard an unsettling rumor that rubies can enter the dreams of others, in some circumstances. Would you happen to know anything about that?

Sincerely,
Iren Suto

[It was overly formal wording but Iren was a relative newbie at telecommunications technology, and her attention was split between writing a natural sounding text and worrying about the VERY vivid dream she had had about getting her brains fucked out by Rey a few days ago.]

[circumitus]

you dont need to sign your letters this isnt a fucking telegram

[Rey isn't actually mad as her words alone might imply. At least she knows who this username belongs to.]

but yes you probably heard right
not sure if its universal to ruby or it just happens sometimes tho

read up on some ruby transformations some time ago

dream shit seemed to be a common theme with lots of them

Brumfast Gift

[long_live_the_queen]

[It's a package wrapped in simple paper--and swaddled in heavy plastic to keep out the wet. It has a note: "Couldn't decide between this or a knife again." It's unsigned, but there's a strand of cerise pink hair stuck to the bottom of the plastic wrapping if Kaede's messy scrawl wasn't informative enough.

Inside the package is a bracelet (or anklet, or wherever-let, Kaede's not a cop) made of reddish glass beads with a gold swirl inside. Between the larger beads are glass flowers, something like a carnation. They're not super detailed, and a little heavy. Kaede's better at severing limbs, not forming delicate flowers. But she tried!

On one end hangs a small feather the size of a thumbnail, crystallized like a ruby-colored fossil. Kaede trusts Rey with her monster body parts, touching.]
