-:- idk why but today whenever I come here I get scared... Idk. I wanna write, but I have anxiety and I don't know many people here...

— Your partner, yes... We do apologise that things ended up that way. — We are sorry that you were saddled with that burden.

— Wonderful! — Having more eyes on the kingdom to find those in need would be useful. — We know we have 15 between us, but we can't be everywhere at once.

-:- I wanna rp more but irl junk has been getting in the way latelyyyyyy. I'll try to get replies when I get off work tonight, I know I got a couple to get to.

— Lightners as darkners, darkners as lightners... — Maybe more than one of our heads is developing an ache...

[The beast watches carefully, wondering if there was an intruder in the kingdom. However, they soon realise that it was a lightner wandering in their court. Lightners had been appearing more often, and while they enjoyed their presence, they were also ashamed of the state of the kingdom.] [+]

— Would you be so kind as to assist us? [The heads look happy for a moment.] — We do not wish to put this burden solely on our citizens, but if you are truly willing, then we will accept any help. — Do not feel as though you are being forced.

-:- I worry sometimes. Positive or negative, I'd appreciate any feedback to help me improve 👉👈

-:- I'll get to replies soon. Here's a silly thing in the meantime if you want!

— One of our heads has an ache today.

-:- I'll get to replies soon. Here's a silly thing in the meantime if you want!

— Greetings as well. — There are many more cats in the world. — You just have to know where to look.

[Blink.]

— We are sorry to hear your experience wasn't the best. But, we hope we can make things better moving forward. [They smile, trying to be reassuring.] — As for the state of the kingdom, we have only just returned ourselves. — Alone. [+]

* Born alone in this world. * Always trudging forward. * Perhaps one day I'll find my way. [You open up the character info page]

@kingofclubs.plays.poker ー[ ClubTea ] [ A blueberry milk-tea ! Something that tastes more complex than it looks and sounds, and is is oddly-nostalgic. ] [ +50 HP ]

— We know they have moved to other kingdoms. — Be wary in your exploration.

-:- I worry sometimes. Positive or negative, I'd appreciate any feedback to help me improve 👉👈

— It's very cold this morning. [They shake out their fur.] — Make it a good one regardless.

— Indeed. The only threat at this time is the Knight. — However, the Knight has moved on from the Card Kingdom. — You are safe here.

— We do appreciate that. — We have fears of one like that running through our world. — However, we have so far only experienced peace from recent lightners.

— Oh, you flatter us. — We do try to keep our fur tidy. [That may not be the only reason they're memorable.] — Even if you do not intend to stay, we are more than happy to have met you. You are welcome here as long as you want to remain.

— Dark... my dear vampire, you really don't know where you've ended up. — This world is not inherently evil. The Knight has twisted some things, but the dark is merely a descriptor. [They pause, finding their words. It had been some time since they had to explain.] [+]

— Does battery acid... — Taste good?

— Hm? What do you mean by that?

— Then we have an understanding. — Thank you. — We could use more like you in the Dark World.

— Oh, but the pleasure is ours. — Being locked away for so long made us realise we didn't get as many chances to meet with our citizens. — Even with so few left, we would like to change that. [The heads hang low, getting a better look at their guest.] [+]

[Then maybe she'd spot a king out for a walk in their garden. They hardly pay attention as their focus is on the flowers that surround them.]

[Trying to lay down on -reader-'s lap. It's a struggle with how big they are. They're trying to be careful not to crush anyone.]

@kingoftheclubs.bsky.social ( ClubsTea ) ( … It just tastes like hot water… ) ( Maybe this flavour is too sophisticated for you. ) ( +10 HP )

— We are grateful. — We understand self-defense, but we do not wish harm upon our kingdom's inhabitants.

— We hope all that tea doesn't make anyone sick...

— You are lucky. — Not everyone in the dark world is as hospitable as us. — We remember a time when there was peace between lightners and darkners. If you explore this place further, exorcise caution. — But please, do not be harsh to those who may be hostile. Make peace with them.

— How you ended up here of all places... Hm. You may be lost. — This world– the Dark World– is an extension of the Light World. Surely you intended to end up there? — We would think only seeing a universe from its reflection would be a dull experience. — Confusing even...

{ @kingoftheclubs.bsky.social } * [ Club(s)-Tea ] ..i didn’t expect much, it seemed pretty plain at first but- the aftertaste is actually really nice! a mix of wild berries, i think. i think i can also taste honey? i like it! [ +55 HP ]

@kingoftheclubs.bsky.social [ Battat takes a sip of the ClubsTea ... ... There's something familiar about the taste that she can't quite place. It makes her feel nostalgic for a time she can only barely remember. ] [ + 50 HP ! ]

[ @kingoftheclubs.bsky.social ] [ * King of teas ] * Unfortunately for them, the cup, as pretty as it may be, is empty... How odd. [ * ??? HP ] [ They were looking forward to enjoying more tea... ]

@kingoftheclubs.bsky.social ー 5-Flavor Tea * Five different complimenting berry flavors with a milktea base. VERY delicious. [ + 100 HP ]

@kingoftheclubs.bsky.social { ClubsTea } UHHH EHH. N0 [[idea]] + 50

@kingoftheclubs.bsky.social { MultiTea } ... huh. Tastes like- several things at once?? + 50 HP

@kingoftheclubs.bsky.social [Clubtea] * This tea tastes weird. * Weird and unfamiliar [+10 HP]

— You are more than welcome. — Please, do not hesitate to call on us if you need anything. — It is a king's duty to serve his people.

— You are? — He is? — How can he be? [The heads murmer and whisper to each other.] — But that would explain... — Yes, it does make sense... as strange as it might be.

-:- I'm going to gay board game night so I'll have to catch up on the stream later lol. Bad timing for these two to line up, but that's what vods are for

[Presenting a cake with a little candle on it!] — We have heard some of you are aging today. — Or something along those lines. — Whatever the case may be, we feel this is a wonderful occasion to celebrate.

— Lightner mythos... — Do you claim these stories have some basis in truth?

— A curse? Most likely. We know of magic, and this is different. — You have our apologies if we were too invasive. — However, are you alright? Curses are not to be taken lightly.

-:- To get this account started :)

[All the heads give a big yawn.] — Good morning, everyone. — We hope you all slept well.
