Number 3 For Zach And Freddie?

Number 3 for Zach and Freddie? 🙃

You know exactly what you're doing, stirring the water like that with those two. Thank you

3. what do X and Y do when they hang out?

When they're not fighting (which is most of the time) they're geeking out over DC and Marvel. After Freddie introduced Zach here, it became their one common interest. They spend hours rereading comics, acting out battles with Freddie's attempts at weapons and powers the characters have. It may be a problem, but the people who care about them don't mind, since it means less screaming, but not necessarily less bruises

I loved Hyun messing with Sunwoo. It was very entertaining

A Day In A Library | Sunwoo

Previous | Next

The room’s quietness is similar to Sunwoo’s house, but the scent is familiar in a different way. Sunwoo has been here before, a long, long time ago.

Min looks over to Sunwoo in confusion, crooning quietly, “where are we?”

Sunwoo shrugs and steps off the portal. The inscriptions glow once before they dim completely. The portal is quite old—it’s one that’s been around since Sunwoo was little. Ae remembers the first time ae used it; ae was visiting the village with aer maternal parent to buy fabrics. And back then, it was not in a building.

Ae reaches for the door handle and pulls it as slowly as possible, peeking outside the room. Bookcases, tables, lanterns, and people are the things ae sees. Ae promptly shuts the door and stares at it, heart pounding loud in aer ears.

“Well, so much for teleporting outside the village.”

“Inside?” Min says, voice low.

Inside is an understatement. They’re in the library—at the heart of the village. Sunwoo should have probably known this would happen—time goes on, and portals change over time too. It’s only natural that older portals would be repurposed for other uses.

Sunwoo steps back onto the portal and murmurs the spell—ae should go back to Ahn’s house and wait. Ae doesn’t even need to bring the memory thing up. If ae ignores it, it’ll go away.

Ae waits, but nothing happens.

“What the fuck?”

Sunwoo says the spell again, but nothing happens. The inscriptions on the portal are quiet.

“Look!”

Min conjures a small fire and holds it near one of the inscriptions on the wall.

“Known issues: the portal spell cannot be cast be the same person within a seven-hour interval. Reason is thought to be the age of the portal,” it reads. “Well, of course,” Sunwoo hums, “they’ll need to fill and polish the portal, then inscribe the spell again. But with how old it is, they probably don’t know how to write these particular inscriptions…”

“Also, we’re stuck here.”

Oh yeah, that too.

Sunwoo grabs a fistful of aer robes, breathing deep. Someone else could use the portal—they can’t wait here. Going out is the only way.

“Alright…here we go.”

Sunwoo reaches for the door, but it opens. A small person—a librarian—stands in front of the door, two books held to their chest. The step back, adjusting their glasses and removing their fringes from in front of their eyes. They look like they’ve been moving around a lot.

“Oh, sorry—“ The person who opened the door pauses abruptly and stares at Sunwoo. “I’ve…never seen you before? Are you new here?”

New?

“Uh…” Words evaporate from Sunwoo’s mind as ae tries to find something to say. “…maybe?”

The person in front of aer smiles, giggling. “Are you the Raven?” they ask. Sunwoo’s face must have shown some kind of ‘think-of-a-lie-quick’ expression, because the person followed, “I know you’re not a new hire, and there is no other way you’d know what the portal spell is. Also”—the person taps their cheek, right below their eye—“I know the other three Ravens.”

Their smile widens as the realization dawns on Sunwoo—there is no way ae can get out of this. Ae bows. “I apologize. You’re right.”

“Ah, no need to apologize,” the person says, waving their hand dismissively, “I’m actually quite glad; I didn’t think I’d ever meet the Raven in person.” They bow. “Jinja Im. Nightingale.”

“Sunwoo Song. Raven.” Jinja laughs at that, and it takes Sunwoo all the willpower in the universe not to laugh as well. It wouldn’t be .

A beat of silence, then Sunwoo steps out of the doorway. “Ah, you’re probably in a hurry—“

“No, no,” Jinja interjects, “I saw the portal signal on the surveillance board and I thought Ahn was stuck.”

Min croaks in laughter.

“Ahn?”

“You know Ahn?” Jinja looks surprised for a second. “Aer voice often fails mid-spell and ae gets stuck in these portals a lot. I guess ae didn’t have any trouble this time.” Jinja closes the door and sighs. “But that means ae’s here—“

“There she is.”

The voice that interrupts them is soft and languid, and Sunwoo immediately dislikes the owner. They turn in the direction of the source; a Raven is making aer way over to them, followed by Ahn, who looks surprised for a second before ae waves awkwardly. And Sunwoo would wave back, if it weren’t for the asshole Raven that’s currently blocking aer view. Ae’s dressed scholar robes, like Jinja. Must work in the library as well.

“Hyun, behave yourself.”

Jinja’s reprimand goes unnoticed as Hyun steps into Sunwoo’s personal space. Ae’s just a little taller, just enough to look down on aer. Aer purple eyes darken towards the edges, like Sunwoo’s own do.

Which Raven power is it?

“So, you’re the Raven, huh?” Hyun says, breath brushing past Sunwoo’s face. It’s cold. “Decided to grace us with your presence after how long now? A thousand years?”

“I’m not here to ‘grace you’ with anything,” Sunwoo replies, sneering despite aerself, “so why don’t you step back before—“

Then Sunwoo’s voice is gone. Faster than ae can move, Jinja steps in between aer and Hyun, stern.

“Hyun!”

They’re attracting stares of people in the library. Hyun laughs—it’s light and pleasant. Sunwoo is even angrier now.

“I’m just messing with you.”

Ahn steps close to Sunwoo and whispers, “are you okay?”

“You should be worried about your friend,” Sunwoo hisses, before ae collects aerself and apologizes. “I’m quite irritable.”

Ahn smiles a little and signs, “it’s alright.”

Hyun, the holder of the power Voice, is conversing with Jinja about something—some damaged books they need to transcribe into newer copies. Aer speech is smooth, and the provoking edge in aer voice is nowhere to be found.

“I’m supposed to be transcribing these books,” Ahn whispers, startling Sunwoo. “Sorry—I didn’t know you were jumpy.”

“I’m not.”

Ahn snorts. “Sure.” Then ae clears aer throat. “I wanted to—“

“Ahn, the scholars are here,” Jinja calls, adjusting her glasses, “shall we get going?”

“Can…can I come along?” Sunwoo asks, and Min repeats the question, stutter and everything.

“Of course,” Jinja smiles at Sunwoo like ae’s a little fledgling. Hyun snickers and Sunwoo pretends ae doesn’t exist. Ahn gives Sunwoo’s shoulder a little squeeze and walks by aer side as they follow Jinja and Hyun.

The library, though it’s the same size as ae remembers, somehow seems more spacious. There are more tables and more shelves, and no hint of magic being used. The way their footsteps are muted, however, says otherwise.

“Magic is pretty silent here…”

“Oh yeah, you need to really pay attention to find the spells.” Hyun looks back, a smirk plastered on aer annoying face. “Impressed, Raven sir?”

Ahn’s arm brushes Sunwoo’s, and ae leans close. “Hyun enjoys provoking people. Don’t mind aer.”

Hyun sighs and mutters something about Ahn ruining aer ‘good fun’. Thankfully, ae doesn’t speak for the rest of their walk to the meeting room, where 4 scholars—two humans and two Songbirds—are waiting. They recognize Sunwoo as the Raven—who wouldn’t? Ae’s the only Raven power user no one has seen. They don’t make a big deal of it, though one of them spends the entire meeting looking like they want to say something.

The meeting is over pretty quickly; Ahn only needed to talk to each scholar for a while. Thirty minutes later, the scholars get up and leave, accompanied by Jinja, who has other things to do. Hyun brings several stacks of enchanted paper and book covers and drops them on the table.

“Do you think you’ll be done today?” ae asks Ahn, who shrugs and pulls out aer quill and Memory book.

“I’ll need to examine the memories closely before I write anything.” A clear, gentle voice flows from the Memory book as the quill scrawls on the paper. “I can’t make any promises.”

Hyun doesn’t look satisfied with the answer, but ae doesn’t say anything about it. “Well, good luck.” Then ae smirks. “And farewell, Raven sir—“

Hyun trips on a strategically-positioned Min, who laughs at aer and exclaims “idiot” in a sing-song voice.

“Ah-em. Min, t-that’s ru-rude,” Sunwoo reprimands with a smile, unable to keep the laughter out of aer voice. Hyun gets up, adjusts aer clothes, and sighs very loudly before walking out of the room. Min walks around the table and climbs onto the chair next to Sunwoo.

“I want an apple for my toubles.”

“Of course.”

“Ahn should get an apple too.”

At that, Ahn smiles. Ae looks… uncomfortable.

“Is something wrong?” Sunwoo asks, but Ahn just shakes aer head. “Don’t lie. Is it the book?”

“It is a lot of work—“

“I mean the Memory book. The voice.”

Ahn sighs and picks up the quill then, after a few seconds, nods faintly. “I…” ae whispers, so quietly Sunwoo has to lean forward to hear the rest, “I don’t like using it, but no one here knows signed language.”

The dejected look on aer face doesn’t belong there. Awkwardly, Sunwoo reaches out and pokes Ahn’s cheek.

“Uh… Cheer up?” Then ae laughs. “I’m not very good at comfort, but please don’t be sad.”

Good job, Sunwoo. Amazing speech capabilities.

Ahn smiles at that—bless aer. “Thank you,” ae signs, then ae opens the memory book to an empty page. “This is going to be boring, so if you want to leave—“

“I’d like to keep you company.”

With a smile, Ahn turns to aer book and starts recording the scholars’ memories, to be examined for the contents of the books. Sunwoo leans on the table and watches Ahn as ae works.

As time goes on, the sound of the quill on paper and turning pages lulls Sunwoo to sleep.

Background Info: Hyun's Raven power lets aer mute someone's voice. Very effective to render someone's spells useless.

More Background Info: OCs' Introductions (Hyun will be added tomorrow, probably)

Titles are my passion. B)

Sunwoo: *is alive for 10k years* Also Sunwoo: Wait, time passes and things change? *surprised pikachu face*

Hyun is a jerk and I love aer. Ae has a good heart but ae's also a dick.

I don't have much to say about this; I just like how it turned out! I hope you enjoyed reading it. Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

Birds Of A Feather || Memories Of A Raven

Lively is a necromancer. Len, I cannot with your mind

And let them spend quality time with the dinos. How bad could it be?

[Image description: a picrew, the background of which is the genderfluid flag. The picrew depicts a person with dark-brown skin, short, curly black hair, dark-brown eyes, and a small smile. They have glasses and ear piercings. They're wearing a lace choker, a white shirt, and suspenders /end ID]

Pronouns: they (most often used), she/him (sometimes)

Name: Elin Edgar King

Nickname(s): Mx. Lively

Age: 28

Occupation: a necromancy and physics teacher at the academy.

Sexuality: bisexual

Species: human

Other information:

Elin was never the type to stay out of trouble, seeing any rules as mere suggestions. They like their powers, as they have the ability to break a very obvious rule: those who are dead stay dead. They're very positive and calm, seeing how very few things are an actual danger to them. They care a lot about those that are close to them and always return favors.

Random facts:

Cannot watch zombie movies because of how inaccurate those are. It's painful for them.

They are always incredibly friendly and cheerful with whomever they raise from the dead, no matter how hostile or even aggressive the undead is.

Good friends (and maybe more) with a time traveler, which results in some pretty funky adventures

The first thing they raised from the dead was a crow, and they have the little bird skeleton follow them around to this day.

They are banned from dinosaur museums for obvious safety reasons.

If you have the capability, it would be appreciated if you could spread this around to get as many responses as possible!

Thanks, Lyra

Survey!

Hey uh reblog if you think asexuals are LGBTQ+ regardless of their romantic identity
