Beyond Expectations [AHeartlessNobody & Summer]

Low key forgot that Caeyin has his own unique ability for a second xD Eve probably couldn't beat him in a fight anyway since he could just blind her and kill her before she could react. She'd have to trick him either way so he wouldn't use it on her.

I'm very excited for their meeting now if she has that mindset. I'm wondering what would draw them to work together since they're both going to hate each other in the beginning?

Beyond Expectations [AHeartlessNobody & Summer]

I like that idea! Only thing is that for that to happen, she'd have to either disarm him or convince him not to kill her when they meet, because he's still trying to prove himself to his people, so he wouldn't be as merciful as Serix was. His first instinct would be to follow his orders and kill her rather than ask questions. I'm guessing she wouldn't know how to fight very well, since the only Lunairans who learn that skill are the ones in the military (unless her mother was a soldier, she wouldn't have been able to teach her), so it would be more likely for her to trick him or convince him not to shoot.

I think that all depends on my free time, tbh. I'm going into my senior year at college soon, and my professors are trying to kill me with homework ^^; Last semester, I had 40-60 hours of homework per week, so I could only keep up with one RP. If things don't change during my last three semesters, I definitely won't have time to follow so many different stories. We'll just have to wait and see how that goes!

I could see that as a plausible thing to add in later.
Actually, fun fact, arranged marriages have a much higher success rate than marriages for love, because the couple almost always learns to love who they're with. It's really interesting if you look at the psychology behind it. However, that doesn't mean every single marriage is happy, so it's totally possible for one of the sympathizers to leave his/her mate for a human spouse.

I mean, he wouldn't like any nickname she gave him, since he likes the sound of his full name xD
I feel like he'd be more okay with Cain because it's almost identical to his real name, but she can still call him whatever she wants

Beyond Expectations [AHeartlessNobody & Summer]

True xD It'll be more interesting then

Finished~ I stole one small piece from my old post.

Also, I realized I forgot to mention this, but the pronunciation of Caeyin's name is Kay-in, like a two syllable Cain.
I could see that being a nickname for him if Eve decides to give him one, since Cain is pretty much the human equivalent of his name xD

The Earth was different than anything Caeyin had experienced before. It was both new and strange, yet also hauntingly familiar, like the whisper of a dream.

He walked between the buildings, taking everything in at once. It was all so foreign, this planet that once belonged to the humans, but he found that it stimulated him in exciting ways. The sights were exotic. He had never seen such massive structures before. They were all laid out in a grid-like pattern that indicated careful planning and reminded him of the tales his father had told him of the humans’ ingenuity. Lower to the ground, he also saw wheeled vehicles of different shapes and sizes. They didn’t look like crafts that could fly, and he wondered if the creatures had ever advanced enough to create machines that would carry them through the sky. It was a pity if they hadn’t known what it was like to see their own world from above before the Virus took their lives.

The curious inventions of the humans weren’t the only things he enjoyed about the planet. Closing his eyes, he inhaled deeply a gust of air caressed his skin. He had spent his entire life on a spaceship filled with stale, stagnant oxygen. The air on the Earth was much more invigorating. It moved and flowed in invisible waves, carrying with it the smells of everything around him. He had never experienced anything like it. It made him feel alive.

Opening his eyes again, he continued to observe his surroundings. He noted the long, creeping tendrils of plants that seemed to be taking over the abandoned area. They reminded him of the poisonous plants that had killed the life on his home planet, although it was hard to tell if these ones were as dangerous. Deciding to be safe, he carefully collected a sample to bring back to the Pilot. If the Pilot thought this plant was concerning too, then they could send it back to the Luniarans on the mothership for testing.

Just as he finished stashing the sample back in his bag, Caeyin heard a noise behind him. He turned to see a hairy, four-legged creature standing with its head low and its legs splayed. It emitted a deep rumble from its throat that resonated through the air. He studied it curiously. While he had never encountered such a beast before, his instinct told him it was hostile. Even so, it was no threat to him. Earthborn creatures were no match for a Lunairan.

Moving without hurry, he stepped away from the wall where he had retrieved the plant sample and drew his Silencer from his bag. He raised the weapon in his right hand, taking aim at the beast’s head. As he did this, he noticed it seemed to waver. It was almost as if it understood that the gun was dangerous. He wondered how the creature could possibly know the weapon was a threat, but unfortunately, he didn’t have time to puzzle over the thought.

In the next moment, the hairy beast overcame its brief hesitation and leaped towards him. There was a bright flash of blue light from the barrel of his Silencer, and the creature tumbled to the ground, either dead or unconscious. He lowered his weapon and stepped over to the body, unwilling to take any chances. However, as he approached, he heard rustling sounds from between the buildings around him. He guessed that there were more of the creatures lurking nearby, but they were fleeing after he had shot the first one.

He knelt down next to the best and ran his hand over its side. The hair that covered its body was short and soft. He also noticed that it seemed to be rather thin, as his fingers traced the ridges of what appeared to be the creature’s ribcage. He almost felt sorry for killing it, as he was sure now that it was dead. Even though it had attacked him first, it had probably only done so because it was hungry.

Rising to his feet again, he dusted himself off and snapped a picture of the creature for the others to look at later. Once he had put his things back in his bag, he continued walking down the road to see what else he could learn about the planet.

I like that ^^ I kind of want to see how it plays out on its own tbh. I'm curious to see how our characters will interact when they meet lol I imagine it won't go great

I just finished my last online exam, so I'll get started on a reply in a bit!

Beyond Expectations [AHeartlessNobody & Summer]

I like the idea of sticking with the airport, since it's pretty unique ^^
Plus, we could expand on it more, like she uses different planes for different things or uses the building for the airport itself, etc. We barely touched on it in the last one, so I think it could be fun to try using it again

Beyond Expectations [AHeartlessNobody & Summer]

That's pretty cool. Sounds like you had a lot of fun putting it together ^^

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Sorry that took a while. I just found out the installers never put insulation into the roof above my bedroom, so I'm dealing with that mess right now xD I've got like five different guys here trying to figure out how the hell they're going to fix it

The joys of living in a house lol
One thing I miss about apartments was that this crap was never my problem

After a while of waiting, Crow finally spotted movement at the far side of the road. He watched the approaching figures cautiously, since he couldn’t yet tell if it was the knights he was looking for or another patrol that just happened to be searching around near Whitebridge. Fortunately, as the group came closer, he recognized Penelope walking at the front. He grinned eagerly and leaned away from the tree, taking a few steps towards her as she came over to greet him.

As she confirmed that she had managed to get permission for their trip to Aramoor, he slipped his arms around her back and looked down at her with a teasing smirk. “Well, I got stuck with the most beautiful knight in Brerra, so I’ve got no complaints,” he winked at her flirtatiously and touched a playful kiss to her lips. It was exciting to know that they were going to be able to spend the next four or more days together. He missed having her by his side all the time, and this was the closest they would get to returning to that lifestyle.

Behind Penelope, Gavin cleared his throat, “We should keep moving. It’s a long way to Aramoor.”

Crow rolled his eyes and took a step back from Penelope, although he stayed close enough to intertwine his fingers with hers. He would keep his word to her about not starting fights with the knight, but that didn’t mean he was going to let him get between them. “By the way,” he said as they began walking into the forest that led towards the village. “When we cross the river, we should make sure to refill our flasks. There isn’t another water source between Whitebridge and Aramoor besides that one.”

“My map says we’ll be crossing two rivers,” Gavin said with a frown.

“Sometimes,” Crow shrugged. “But we’ve had a dry season, so the smaller river dried up. Right now, there’s only one flowing, so we’ll need to take advantage of it when we get there.”

“I see,” Gavin muttered, seeming annoyed that there was something he hadn’t been prepared for.

Crow bit back a smirk, proud that his knowledge of the outer villages had trumped the knight’s. However, not wanting to upset Penelope again, he held himself back from prodding the other man about it and turned to her instead. “Have you ever been to Aramoor?” he asked, changing the subject to something that probably wouldn’t ruffle any feathers. “It’s a small village, but it’s got a lot of character. I think you’ll like it.”
