@gothzaunite.bsky.social .. Isnt this what you said to me first time we met?

And although this metal's part of me 、I will not lose my sanity.

@gothzaunite.bsky.social Coming up behind Ran and hugging her. "Orchid.."

@fuckgortash.bsky.social Pulling Karlach aside. "Im cold.." He is hoping Karlach will do something about it.

He can feel it. How she softens around him. Was it relief that she didnt have to try and be the tough one here? She could be delicate and still be treated just like Karlach deserves to be. ".. I am not very interested in hunting today. Perhaps we should settle and rest for a few days."

He looked to her with those gorgeous blue stoic eyes. "If I was annoyed with you, you wouldn't be near me." Let alone allowed to touch him. Yeah, she has special privilege.

"Is it a bad word?" He blinked. Holding her hand for a little longer. He pulls it close to kiss over her knuckles. He seemed to understand physical touch was very important to her.

"Cant say I am very familiar with that word. I have missed your company." He confessed. His hand almost felt delicate in hers.

It was really endearing to see. He comes closer and takes her hand to hopefully ease her excitement a little. "Hello, Karlach. Youre quite sweet."

".. Yes, I so you. Hello, Karlach." He smiles a little. Gods, she is precious. He must protect her.

XX ——— judgment.

Goddamn right 、you should be scared of me.

i will poison all your happy thoughts i will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box

@gothzaunite.bsky.social Leaning against Ran a little bit. He seemed a little sleepy but not enough to take his guard down. Never. Ran is the safest person in Zaun lately.

The blood on your hands is something you can't lose 、all you can choose is whose.

A monster 、painted with a pretty face to lure in your victims 、that's what you are.

apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime

@gothzaunite.bsky.social Every week.. nearly daily Mizu gets into some kind of trouble. Hes already got wanted posters since he has killed people. But it doesnt bother him. He comes to the Last Drop. Looking for his partner. He misses them.. his attachment borders on obsession. Without his marks—

My body's aching like a knock-down drag-out and my poor heart is an open wound.

{ Closed starter for @zaunsbrawler.bsky.social } 》Modern/College AU 《 It was a party to kick off the start of the spring semester. Mizu has been reluctantly dragged into it by his two.. friends? He didnt know what to call them. Akemi made it her mission to break his shell and make him want to—

@gothzaunite.bsky.social Mizu has been getting quite comfortable around Zaun.. around Ran His orchid. Mizu was still working on opening up and trusting Ran. He would take on some odd jobs Ran would line up for him. Usually involved killing but he proved good at that. Today he comes home bloody—

@gothzaunite.bsky.social Mizu is awake early as usual. He left to get Ran some breakfast. Setting it up in the kitchen. Mizu goes to Ran and kissed their cheek. "Orchid.."

@gothzaunite.bsky.social Theyre keeping Ran. Possessive Mizu noises.

i destroyed the bond of friendship and respect between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye

"Oh. Zaun. .. I have no idea where this is." He sighed. "I was on a ship.. there was a bad storm. And then I woke up by the water nearby. Everything here is.. very different."

Mizu steps away, seemingly knowing it takes time. He wanders the apartment. Looking around. The furniture.. all very different. "What is this place called? This city."

He glances in the same direction and then to the knives. "Oh. I see, who made them?" He asked. His head tilting to the side to inspect the edge. "They certainly need to be honed." He pulled out his sharpening stone and offered it to Ran.

He lowered his gaze at the question. "Vibe? Uh.. medical, I suppose." They weren't. Mizu has.. many secrets. But maybe Ran could work with them on it. Mizu comes from a different world.

He is hesitating. Several seconds pass before the shuffling of clothes can be heard. His wrist and ankle guards stay on.. and chest binding. He keeps that well hidden. Dressing himself. And finally the glasses go on again. ".. Okay.'

"This all looks.. very impractical." He commented. Deciding on something somewhat similar to what Ran is wearing. He looked apprehensive. "I have nothing for anyone to take of value.'

".. Orchid." He responded. A small grunt as his hat is pulled down. "How am I to follow you without seeing you?" And clothes.. his money was no good here. A brief glimpse at some exchanges told him that. He seemed to wait for them.. needing some guidance.

"Who am I?" He seemed stunned they would even ask. "Mizu.." He answered. Looking to Ran. The hair was odd, but Ran could say the same for Mizu. He looked to the poster again. Not sure what to think of it.

He feels some comfort seeing them and hearing the honesty. He is quiet for a moment. "I dont even know where I am, let alone where I am going." His clothing said plainly he was foreign. His face made him look like Caitlyn's long forgotten brother. His eyes stay hidden behind tinted glasses.

He turned quick, on edge. A total stranger to this world but he has already learned Zaun is dangerous. Mizu looked a mess. "Just fine. What does it matter?" His tone is curt and short. He was totally lost. Zaun was a maze with no exits as far as he is concerned..

Another fight, another victory that doesnt matter, another wound for the body to heal. Mizu just needed somewhere to rest a while. Hes been walking for too long.

"Plenty of.. new faces around here."

Gay people can’t ever just say: I love you. It’s always some weird shit like being doomed by the narrative.

Staring ahead. Disassociating a little.

Will you defend yourself? From me, I mean. Let's kill something.
