Alex.. seemed to be a fun mix of professionalism and.. sort of.. relaxed goofiness, at once! They seemed very nice. ...The first few minutes of their meeting were very scary, what with them introducing themselves as a 'demon hunter', and she hopes they've forgotten her brief freak-out quickly enough, but other than that, it was okay. Interesting, too. I mean, peaceful talk with a demon hunter is a bit rare of an experience for her. She appreciates that Guet sent them over, and she's really fond of that demon-protection-taming-idea thing. Especially when it comes to Milo's safety.. well, she'll happily support the tea-enthusiast kitsune! And she'd gladly talk to them again!
Yeah! This Elec seems like a pleasant enough gal - Alex can definitely see how Gueton managed to get on with her, very friendly! Well-stocked too, with the tea and all that! Shi can't say shi knows her well, but they definitely made for good company!
Alex was admittedly rather surprised about the kid - the hedgehog definitely seemed young as single mothers go. ...Then again Alex doesn't really know anything about that sorta thing. Still, gotta respect the effort!
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.
..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!
...What a peculiar little child. They both bore him, and interest him. They're... predictable. They think they're above others, think they're smarter, like to outwit, and impossible to converse with. Even someone as socially inept as himself can see that this child has very few, if any, friends. And while he refuses to partake in a child's game of one-up, there is something about them that has him drawn to them, waiting to see what garbage spews forth from their little mouth. Perhaps it's because they remind him of himself when he was younger.
Do you know what's one of the worst things about old people? They don't realise they are old. They don't realise their KNOWLEDGE is old. Perhaps not everything has an expiration date but holy shit this guy sure does and passed it a few years back
He seems to've been overthinking like, every sentence they uttered - and they overthink a lot, so for someone to outdo Taph in that is an achievement. ...the books he recommended are alright but other than that fuck him and his human-like face. They don't know how smart he really is, but they WILL be better than him eventually, so he better suck it up. YOUTH FTW
Taph is somebody that Red is still learning about, learning and trying to understand just how they tick. There is something she respects a lot with just how blunt they are and how little they seemingly give a fuck about a lot of things. It was just that vibe and how straight forward they were that caused Red to open up about what plagued her at the time. She does appreciate that Taph sometimes hangs with them and it gives conflicting feelings. A flutter of wanting to get to know them better, closer. But also the feeling that maybe Taph generally doesn't care or would care about that. All in all though she is not gonna push her luck.
Normally they'd be sorry, I mean, holy shit, repeatedly getting raped, that's awful and traumatising
But this person is a fucking moron and they're close to believing they deserved that. Spilling the beans to a complete stranger, not even attempting to ask for help someone, ANYONE, who would be some sort of authority, and trying to fight someone off with your own muscles? Who cares your muscles are big? The guy's got fucking sentient tentacles at his command, you absolute idiot!! ...They did say they'd help, though. So they're gonna, probably. In some way. Though it sounds like a helpless case. They don't even look traumatised. They don't even act traumatised. This is absolutely bonkers.
...They ask too many questions.
...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!
Cute attempt to psycho-analyze. If any, Taph just seems like they need some help themselves and stop being some edgy child who think they know how the world works. The only thing they seem to realize is how the world from the TV works.
26 'shots'. If it was something other than mulled wine, they'd probably be close to drunk. That happened only like... twice in their life. Amazing. Outstanding. They hate his guts.
Who just comes up to a stranger and asks for a lifestory? And additionally doesn't understand the easiest of hints and instructions? And this guy's an idol??? But he didn't even act it. It was like an awkward mix of acted modesty and trying to be cool at the same time. Why are people like him getting higher education in MUSIC? How can you get HIGHER EDUCATION in music, anyway? They must tell Sam of this guy.
The fuck does he want from his children-catching methods. They're flawless. It's just the kid's fault it gets hurt in the process - no-one told it to run.
Oh, yeah, the guy doesn't even know that the kid was running from somewhere? Home? Orphanage? Probably second? So uh. What makes him the sudden child expert. His methods weren't working either.
Maverick can not make any claim that he knows this gentleman well. In fact... they haven't really spoke to each other at all. Still, they've both spoke within the presence of each other - so at least a base assessment could be made.
The base assessment is; Don't trust this guy with kids. Seriously, he's not sure what's wrong with the guy but he, er, he seems grossly irresponsible. And kind of an indifferent douche? Like a mopey teen. A grossly irresponsible mopey teen.
..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!
hhHAHA YEAH HE GETS TO BE A ROCKSTAR LEVI CAN SSSSUCK IT
That is
uh
Wolfgang's, uh, cool. He guesses. Well, he gave Gravit a chance to play in his band so that makes him cool. Then again like, who wouldn't accept Gravit? He's great???? ?? But yeah, uh, Wolfgang's maybe a bit too loud for his liking, and the ukulele is silly, why would he play that, but other than that. He's alright. Good friend. 7/10. It's not.. it's not like Grav looks up to him. Or anything. He needs no role model, he's his own role model.
Gravit! His rockin' bass! Gravit's... an interesting guy! Wolfgang likes him, that much is true, I mean they've worked together all this time so he's USED to him. But he's very... secluded? Withdrawn? He doesn't really want to reveal much, which at first made Wolfgang hesitant. After finding out he was secretly, and why would you hide this, a cool guy with great talent, well, how can you NOT love him? Keep rockin', lil' buddy! Cause they still have a long way to go!
Merlyn was... certainly a person. Yeah. She seemed intimidating and intimidated by everyone at the same time, it was bizzare, and he wasn't quite sure how to cope with her, but he THOUGHT he'd found a way. Small gestures, little questions, short, but nice talk! ..He tried! She always brought these handmade things though. The colours were awful most of the time, but to be honest he looked great in everything so he decided to roll with it and he always just put on anything she brought, whether a hat or a sweater and he walked in it all day (it was so soft)! He's not sure if it made her feel happier? But he wanted her to feel a part of their family too, cause she most definitely was! And even if it was not her choice but Willow's to make sure Taph was uh, still alive and stuff, he's not sure, he's thankful that Merlyn didn't say 'no', at the very least.
...You were nice.
Fierce! That's.. certainly a thing one could describe her as! Maybe a bit too much sometimes, but he really liked aunt Willow despite that, or maybe thanks to that, actually. Taph and mom were both always much more quiet than him, so he's pretty sure he took a lot more after Willow. ..He's also really thankful to her and her wife that they took care of Taph after he and mom were gone. If it wasn't for them, Taph would've easily gone down all the wrong paths for sure. And this way, there's. Some hope for her!
He's had a great family, even if it wasn't a big one.
It was... quite a blow, finding out about Lilac. He was brilliant, a genius... at least she thought so. e's already unlocked his potential, and was happy to share his wisdom with others, and he was the kind of person who could... inspire you. Very genuinely inspire you to push yourself. And to hear of his brutal passing, by the hands of some nameless monster that still remains a mystery to this day, well... it pains her. And she has her condolences for the rest of the family that was left to grieve in his sudden absence.
She liked him, enjoyed his company, always made her smile.
Just, well...
You kinda take for granted the things you have, before you lose them, huh...?
...They understand her. They're nice too..
Aunt Merlyn is.. nice! Quiet. But, despite that, very sincere in her silence. Always doing those knitty things (Taph thinks they look pretty nice), and always had time to just. Be quiet with Taph. Even though they know very little of aunt Merlyn, they're glad she's around. She.. kinda reminds them of mom. It kinda helps to feel more at home when Taph's with Andre's.
Taph is... interesting! And she loves them! She feels sorry for this kid, she really really does I mean, considering all the death in their family, they're...well, they're taking it well. But it's maybe hardened them a bit, and sometimes Willow just wants to give them a hug for a bit and tell them its okay. But that'd make them feel awkward. But she swears half the time, it's like Taph needs it. They just need someone to help them, they need to get out there and make friends. Grades don't matter, cause she thinks Taph is brilliant in their own right, but she just wants to see this child... bloom, and get out of their shell...
Now aunt Willow on the other hand is a lot like Lilac. But at the same time she's entirely her own person - it always kinda amazed Taph, to be honest. They feel more at home with aunt Merlyn.. but aunt Willow is someone to look up to. Cool ass powers and a cool ass job.. maybe she's just.. a little too loud for Taph's taste. But uh, they shouldn't really complain, probably. Taph will possibly never admit that, but working by aunt Willow's side at some point to help with her investigations - that's like, the job of their dreams.
WHOA LOOK AT LITTLE TAPH ALL GROWN UP. Okay, so what if sh- er, /they're/ older than Sam? They're still the smaller one in her eyes! Okay, real talk, but as much as Sam likes Taph, and likes trying to... give them some excitement in their lives, she sometimes feels like Taph's just pushing her away. Maybe so, maybe not, but it's really hard to get this one to... try new things! Mainly bonding through snowboarding and skydiving! That's the BEST way to bond, and they're missing out! Taph there has a big heart, they just need to learn to express it, cause Sam definitely wants to see it in action! And actually, well, see them smile! PROPERLY smile!
Sam is maybe a bit too hyperactive for Taph's tastes, but she's a cool cousin nonetheless, and they can't really say a bad word about her. It's kinda funny to hear the voice from the radio in real life, too. Sam is probably one of the few people Taph can call a friend. ..Cause family can be friends too, right? That probably counts. They know they can trust Sam - that's what matters to them in a friend.
His lil' sis! Born when he was 10, yeah, so he had to wait quite a while for her to grow up so he could play with her, but still. Dad was not there. So he was dad instead! And he probably did a good job? She liked him! And he loved her too, she made mom so happy. Perhaps she wasn't as bright at school as he was, but nonetheless she was his little sister and their mother's little daughter. ...A shame they both sort of.. died off, and left her alone. It certainly made her more bitter. It worries him. He doesn't want the potential in her affected by that bitterness.. all he can do is rely on their family to keep Taph in check.
He was always better than them at everything... but they didn't mind. He always cared for them well and wanted to share his knowledge, and almost always their maths homework was done by him, and he was great! ...While he still was. And they have to admit, they were.. angry at him. After he died. They KNEW he, of all people, could defend himself against nearly everything. So why DIDN'T he? Against a demon? HOW? What did that thing do that overpowered HIM? Made him leave them and mother? Does he know that mom died because of him? Dick.
...They miss him an awful lot. And need answers an awful lot, too.
Ha ha ha~! What an ugly person! His face is all ruined, and he's like a hairless rodent! It is very cute! He tried to get under her skin, but all he did was make her laugh, and she likes him! Cause someone that disgusting means nothing to her, and he's just upset cause he's so ugly! Thankyou~!
Either weird, or just awful at English. Well, either way. Entertaining enough. He's not sure what she was going for with her speech, really. It was like she was trying to be annoying, but purely via disagreeing with whoever was talking. That's not how it works, unless you're talking to a five year old. That was a shoddy job and she can do better. Maybe she will next time. Or maybe next time the rhino will try to kill him, as promised. That could be fun. He wonders if her bodyguard's resistant to acid. He wonders if her "pretty" clothes are resistant to acid. THIS is how you can annoy people.
Um.. poor.. poor boy? He's uh.. seen them like.. thrice in his life, maybe, when Pat was a toddler.. so um, perhaps the emotional bond was not too big, but still it's.. of course, upsetting hearing that your nephew died together with your cousins. It was certainly a push towards finally moving somewhere where he could meet people, and not be a forever alone freak at an abandoned farm with all the nearest family dead or being lonely freaks on their own. Uh. Fun.
Maybe he saw them. Maybe when he was alive. Maybe when he was alive in another way. He doesn't know.
Younger brother, died a tragic death together with their parents - squashed under rubble of an entire apartment complex. Absolutely horrifying to watch. Yet somehow, after she noticed what was left of them, she stayed there for an.. entire hour? Two? Maybe more. Or maybe less. Maybe it was five minutes. Time was experiencing technical difficulties at that time. She misses him, and the images won't leave her head, but she has to stay strong - for Cleo, who's still there, and who misses him and parents even more than Ra.
She's taking care of his sister, and he.. vaguely.. remember her..? She was.. nice..? Right? She was with him sometimes. But it's all a blur. He can't even remember her name. ...But as long as his sister is happy with her.. it means she can't be a bad person! So.. he's alright with her!
He remembers her the most - of course because she's the oldest, and at the time he and his father visited the Nadirs, Ra was in the age of 'dragging uncle Riley off to play doctor and examine every single plushie she had in her room because she could not yet play with her newborn siblings'. Adorable girl! And frankly he was kinda thankful - certainly making a fool of yourself in front of a child would not hurt as much as awkwardly sitting with family and not knowing what to say and stuttering on every word. He believed her to be dead as well, but.. Her body was never found. So there is a chance, right?
Uncle Riley! He was delightful, she remembers!! She was a stupid lil' kid back then, but she remembers he always would put up with her and play with her when the adults couldn't. He was the only not-boring one. She remembers he was stuttering quite a lot, which was funny to her then, and now it's.. um.. kinda. Adorable. He was studying to be a vet, too. Now he is an actual one - she saw his office. She even saw him a few times and he.. he was.. well, he looks great for um.. over thirty.. guy?
Technically, since he's their only living relative, and her and Cleo are not adult yet.. should he not be taking care of them..?
Cleo is a perfect future servant! ...She's also a little scary, like, of course, Maia is much more, but like, Cleo is the only kid that doesn't even flinch when Maia is talking about scary stuff like spiders and dead people and demons and stuff! Though it's really easy to bring her to tears just by basic bullying, so she's still kinda weak. But Maia likes her. She lives only with her sister, just like Maia lives with Viscon, and they both miss their families a lot. Maybe, when she's back with mom, she could ask her to revive Cleo's family! Mom could surely do that!
They don't go to the same school, but their schools are near each other and they often run into each other on the bus or on walks, too! Maia is nice, and her friend! She.. tends to be a bit mean sometimes, but when Cleo starts crying she apologises really fast and gives her candy that she took from other kids at her private school.. Maia often calls her her sidekick and tells Cleo she'll teach her how to suck out the life of people, but it will probably never happen. That's mean. And silly.
His cousin's little daughter, really similar to Riley's mother. A pretty little thing.. it's.. unfair, that she would die. But it's also.. somehow.. reassuring, that the whole family passed on, and no-one had to miss one another.
...Though some bodies were not identified, and some never found.
And he swears he's seen a little golden lioness just recently around the suburbs. But there's plenty of those in the world, right?
Umm.. Ra told her about uncle Riley, but she can't remember him. He was probably nice, cause Ra likes talking about him. Or maybe he's dead, and that's why she talks about him nice? Dunno.
Her poor little sister, who's seen way too much for a ten year old. It certainly.. had an effect. She tries to eat spiders, she giggles while watching news about more and more catastrophies, she took in that horror that kept Ra up for five nights like it was Teletubbies. But the normal stuff still upsets her, like dropping ice cream or losing her favourite bow, so maybe she's just.. not developed enough to understand the weight of those things. She still cries over Pat and dad and mom a lot..
Sis! Sis is great! Always there, getting her pink things she likes, always wipes away her tears, feels.. almost like mommy! Though mommy was prettier.. And Ra is always tired, and often smells of sweat, and she's really quiet, too. But that's alright - Cleo still loves her. They need each other and they need to love each other - after all they're all the family they have left!
His twin sister, the only thing he remembers from the times when he... was. And he remembers that he didn't want her hurt as much as he was. So he's gonna try to protect her with every fiber of what is left of his being! He tries to stay near her, no matter who he is at the given moment. She often time stays with some green lioness, who seems familiar, and some brown bat, who tends to be rude to her. He doesn't like it, but the brown bat is. Kinda scary. He doesn't.. he doesn't wanna risk disappearing if they're gonna hurt him. He doesn't want to disappear.
Her twin brother!
He's dead! It's! Really sad, uh. And she can't stop herself from crying almost everytime she thinks of him and how.. annoying he was sometimes, and how.. dead.. he was then.. and... but then Ra comes over and calms her down. And they miss him together.
...Strangers are really nice to her often, for some reason. And sometimes they kinda remind her of him, too. She wonders why..
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 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.
...Who? Oh, uh, li... library lady, right? Yeah! She had a lot of myth and history books, they looked really interesting and he borrowed one, and so far it's really interesting!! He didn't know something like myths existed. They have a lot of god stuff, he wonders if he can find Elpis in one of those books too. The stories are all kinda exagerated, but... oh, uh... well.. library lady seemed nice? But they're all quiet and nice at the library.. Her name, um, Ariel..? ..It's been only ten minutes, he can't remember much..
Ah! What a sweet child. His love for knights and stories about them was really sweet, and he seemed incredibly polite for a child of his age! She feels a tad guilty about not being more useful at the time, but she sorely hopes he comes back occasionally to borrow or read books.
