'Bows's Links
His older brother, really big nerd. They were sorta the typical brawn+brains duo, until they weren't, cause he got adopted. Okay. Bernard was upset about it for a while, but Leo's visits made him feel better, and he understood when they stopped. He doesn't want to bother Leo too much, so he didn't even try to find him after he was grown up. Leo's a scientist, a powerful person, an angel, and he's not. And that's okay.
His biological younger brother. They got put in the orphanage together, and then, uh, Leo got adopted first. ..Actually, Bernard never even got adopted, er, whoops. To make it up for him at least slightly, Leo visited 'Bows as much as he could, until his later teenage years, when he, kinda, stopped. Look. He was very busy. And 'Bows soon disappeared somewhere anyway. Can't find him nowadays. But uh. He still loves him????
An adorable thing, although lost, to say the least, in many senses of that word. He feels incredible sympathy and pity towards her - she's probably destined to a rather miserable life, and coming to terms with that will probably be one of the worst experiences of her life. But maybe not, and maybe he's wrong, and she'll be happy. Well, whether it's the first or the other, the brief meeting with the girl has him hoping that he'll be able to help her pull through the bad or feel happy for her through the good. After all, she said she's completely alone, and no-one deserves that.
Met him at the gate of the orphanage before her adoption and probably gave her the best pep talk possible on her situation. Honestly grateful he spoke with her and wishes to see him again to tell him things are working out that her life has been 100 times better than it was before.
Why someone like Azzy would decide to spend their time with someone like himself is beyond 'Bows, but he can't say he does not appreciate that. ..Even if the idol's flashy colours did not quite speak to him. The talk about music was nice, even though it was sort of confusing to him how easily things seemed to come to Asmodeus, and how.. well.. everything worked for him when it came to that field. But he guesses that's how prodigies work. Sadly, 'Bows had not much to tell about himself apart from that damn book he was reading, but, well, it's still a new acquaintance, right? He wonders if they'll even recognise him next time they meet, though.
Despite looking like a near opposite with his dark colors, Azzy has come to find that those colors are purely on the outside. Honestly the entire encounter was very curious and positive and honestly if the singer had to bring anything negative up it's that the porcupine thinks too lowly of themselves.
...Weirdo. But innocent, almost childlike, so much so that he actually felt worried when she was leaving. He hopes nothing wrong happens to her, even.. If.. Her story sounded kinda shady and for a moment he felt like he was in some pranking video or whatever, these get weirder and weirder. It caused him to feel a little suspicious, which happens to him rarely, but.. Well, but she did seem rather lost, as a.. Person with no memories rather should. Hopefully the new life serves her well.
Strange man that has has nothing going on for himself. Asked a lot of questions though that seemed to make Serefina uncomfortable. Most part though he was nice to her and did offer her help so that does make him nice enough to her.
...His luck will probably turn as soon as he has to tell her about how... he's been practically lying this whole time. But until then, 'Bows thinks he has every right to consider himself very lucky. It's been, what, 5 years since he started working with Ribbon? He's still not sure what he's doing, working in *fashion*, but he can't say he's not enjoying himself, especially with Ribbon at his side. After all this time he managed to teach her to slow down a little, and she got him to pick up his lazing pace instead. Maybe it's just for the sake of Ribbon's well-being, but he's always eager to help ease the workload on her, even if he started off slow.
And well, what do you know, he WAS right to assume she liked him! Which is a huge convenience, because he grew to realise he's quietly adored her since day one.
...He probably caved the moment she accepted a f r o g as a gift from him. WHAT was he thinking. This is a sort of gift only a person in love would make, and a person in love would accept.
He still doesn't know if confessing was a good idea. He doesn't know if he's the right person for Ribbon, he doesn't want to slow her down or become a burden. But he'll try his best to support her until she decides on her own if this is working out. And he'll continue even if she decides otherwise. Because... he just... loves her for everything that she is, and as long as she's happy, he will be happy for her and with her, as well.
Ribbon never quite thought that when she met 'Bows in a random cafe, she'd be offering him a job, and that he'd accept and become her best friend. She never quite expected herself to get so attached either - after all, he was her employee, and that was weird, wasn't it? 'Bows became her self control and she reason why she making a conscious effort to try to take care of herself. He reminded her to take care of herself rather than burying herself in her work - and it benefited both herself, and the work she did at her shop. He was always kind, always caring, always patient, and coupled with a voice that made her heart flutter whenever he spoke, how could she not fall for him?
She never expected for him to ask her outright whether or not she liked him, but perhaps in hindsight, she was a little obvious about it; a little too dreamy, a lil too giggly whenever they were alone together, as well as babbling at Ribbit about him whenever she was alone, but she doesn't quite regret it. She loves 'Bows; she loves him so, so much and she's so happy that she gets to call him her boyfriend.
'Bows has helped her become a better person, and for her own sake, for the sake of her shop, for the sake of 'Bows and she also supposes Ribbit, she's doing her absolute best to keep moving forward with a smile on her face and with 'Bows hand in hers.
Really interesting person. And confident. And adorable. And loud, but in a positive way. AND funny. Stands her ground, is open, knows her worth, kinda flirtatious, very expressive, and this all in, what, half an hour? And she took her time to talk to him, that black splodge? Why? This is outrageous. She shouldn't be wasting her time like this.
But she did, and it was a nice encounter. He hopes to see her again... but he will never, *ever* wear *anything* she might recommend. Soz.
Oh what an absolutely REVOLTING pile of black splodge! Disgusting, eurgh! His fashion sense is abyssal, and that sheer amount of black makes her want to be sick! ...Still, Bows is such a sweetheart! Oh he's so quiet and reserved, and he needs to... get out more! Try new things! Take off that tacky clothing and replace it with something SPECTACULAR! And boy oh boy is Maxie gonna make sure he does! And maybe her confidence will rub off on him~!
Oh, uh, um.. frankly, 'Bows.. barely remembers the man. Just, a casual chat in the mall. Didn't last long, and he.. can't quite recall if they even gave each other names.. what he remembered this guy by though was that they bought a bunch of cloth, it seemed. For their daughter, who was not Ribbon. But was human, that's.. interesting. And so, that's the third.. third? ...Third fashionable encounter, funny, really. Well, they seemed like an interesting character. Though it isn't very likely they'll ever meet again.. right?
The two of them admitedly didn't talk for long, but the porcupine left a good first impression on Andile! He was surprisingly warm and polite to speak to, who's whole 'I don't want to leave my house for a week' probably connected with Andile more than he should. 10/10, would be interested in meeting again.
He can.. well.. barely remember this guy, considering that their meeting lasted around.. 15 minutes, but, well, they were certainly dark. But only looks-wise, other than that they seemed decent! He believes he remembers them saying they were coming back from the gym. Huh. Interesting if they're working out just because and for the figure or if they just as himself don't have any powers, so they went this way instead.
Though their meeting was of short length, and though Ira doesn't remember much of it, he certainly remembers the remarkable monotonous colour of this fellow. He seemed like a nice guy and Ira wouldn't mind walking into him again to have a decent conversation, possibly to gather valuable information, no matter what way, shape or form it has.
..He.. really knows what his place in the world is, and hearing over and over from people that he could be much more is annoying. They don't have to remind him. He can see the inspirational memes on the internet too, thank you very much.
...Eeeurgh, well, other than that, he's happy to have met Wolfgang! He listened to their stuff already and it's very much something he enjoys, and next time he should PROBABLY bring something Wolfgang could make an autograph on just without any inspirational quotes or he swears he'll deck the guy in the face- Well, and the mini-lesson on ukulele was fun. Hah, he's sure many people would be jealous if they heard of that meeting. But, well, he probably annoyed Wolfgang with his attitude towards.. life, overall, so he's not sure if the dude will still want to acknowledge his existence next time they bump into each other. That's fine, though. He can stay as another face in the crowd on their next concert.
Man, this dude really needs some motivation! Like, he's cool, he's chill, he's ice COLD but he needs to realise there's more to him! He's not just... some person, and Bows here is wasting his life away when he could be doing something with himself! Maaaan it REALLY riles him up to see all that person just be another face in the crowd.
Still, Wolfgang likes Bows! He's realistic, he knows where he is even if he could be better, and he's pretty pleasant! And with that look? Well, Wolfgang won't be forgetting HIM anytime soon! If they cross paths again, he's DEFINITELY willing to sing for him! And that's a real treat, it is!
...Thanks.. for the scarf?
No, really, thanks though. It's uh. Maybe not the prettiest, but very cozy. This person was unexpectedly nice. ..She was unexpected, uh, overall. Rather bizzare. ..He liked her! Though he hopes he didn't cause her to feel uncomfortable. ..Then again, she was the one just, uh, standing around. But she was right that he could've been a bit too nosey. He'll just remember what they are like for the future, in case they meet again, so he knows how to act around them!
...They ask too many questions.
..He wonders if Leo decided to torture himself with a work involving crowds on his own, or if he was somehow forced into it. Maybe his own talent forced him to take up the job. ..Well, that is, 'Bows didn't get the chance to hear that talent yet, but perhaps will someday! Leo was nice! Obviously very nervous, and 'Bows hopes he didn't overstep his boundaries somewhere with him, but in the end he thinks they got along! Quite a funny trio they made, all monochromatic. Just, well, 'Bows didn't quite fit in not being a bear.. but it was still a fun night out!
Meeting 'Bows was an interesting experiance, to say the least. They seemed rather polite and kind, although more interested in their mutual companion then himself... whiiiiich is rather understandable, since they obviously knew eachother? Still! He enjoyed himself, and he's glad he was able to help him get a job.
His cousin from a few cities away! ...Only seen him a few times in his life, on family meetups. Still though... Kyruo is one of those... powerful angel cousins. It's... fascinating.
....But he still recently lost his flat in a fire not long ago. 'Bows wonders if he should try and find some means of contacting Kyr - if he still hasn't found a place, 'Bows would he happy to help. ...It'd be nice to have someone to share rent with, at least.
WOW his aunt's kids have it bad. Dead dad, lunatic mom, and no-one could take care of them once that happened, so they were practically orphans for a few years. And of all of them, 'Bows always looked absolutely RIDICULOUS, even compared to Kyr's own giant eyes and literal gems growing out of his body. Amazing tbh
-
Oh.
Did he accidentally take this kid's place in life?
Oh. Oh well. Whatever. He deserves his vacation.
Er, seemed nice! And also tall, like himself. It's a hard life having long legs.
...
Also 'Bows appreciates Sven came over to help out with Fate's... issues. Hopefully the girl feels better now!
The demon lady from the cafe, yes. She'd said people told her she was weird, and he's not gonna deny, she's a bit of an individual, but he still insists there's nothing wrong with that. Even if her manners were a bit confusing, her excitement and curiosity were fun to watch! He enjoyed their little conversation.
He was nice! And she enjoyed talking to him! He reassured her there wasn't much wrong with her, which was a nice change of tone as well, compared to her past experiences with people.
