"Freaky" is a compliment, as far as I'm concerned! Right up there with "weird," "creepy," and "strange." 🦇⚰️☠️ No worries! I wouldn't have expected you to remember any of that after all this time. I mean, I tend to let quite a while lapse between messages/posts... Anyway, no bother at all! Completely happenstance, with the names. xD Hmm. I'm thinking we're going to go with door number three, then? 😆 Rin: It was my idea! Me: *Glares.* Was not. Rin: *Leans in close with a threatening grin.* Do you [i]really[/i] want to challenge me on that? Me: *Is tempted to say yes just to find out what would happen.* Er... Rin: *Smirking.* As you wish, then, little [i]human.[/i] Me: I didn't say anything coherent! Rin: *Poofs into smoke, just to whisper menacingly in my ear from behind,* It was all the answer I needed. Me: ... Arista, if I go missing, you know who to blame. Hmm. Well, Vik travels wherever he's needed to weed out traitors and rebels, right? What if Vik was in town to take care of a pesky pack--nothing large or strong enough to be their own "official" group, but enough to be a nuisance--and Rin happened to be in the area? Could they sort of sense each other nearby, do you think, with how much time they'd have spent around each other? Maybe Rin was his way to see if he pinpoint the Phantom, since he has a unique skillset with being capable of toggling between the physical and metaphysical world. A human who can thwart supernaturals would be someone that would've gained his attention pretty quick, especially since she'd earned her own epithet. Or it could be vice-versa with Vik hunting for the Phantom, if you wanted, though that would be a smaller detail. A larger detail, would be how far ahead would you want to start? Vik and Rin meeting each other in town? Or skip ahead to more action, and start with them chasing down the last of the group they'd been after? Put it up there however you want or need to! I'm not picky. I just like making my profiles look pretty, and have managed to pick up a couple things over the years to help with that--I don't expect the same from my partners! If you wanted, though, I wouldn't mind putting something together for his header for you. Just let me know what kind of text and simple design elements you want! [h3]Edit:[/h3] If you care, I changed up the song in the first post. Thought it might be fitting, but if you find something else, feel free to send it my way! It's always fun to have a soundtrack.😆
