Manhwa AU - Meeting 2

Manhwa AU - Meeting 2

The second meeting I made for @twstfanblog 's Manhwa AU! Yu is the OC of @st4rz666. I’m going to post the poll to see which one I’ll use if I choose to do anything else with my OC in this AU either later today or tomorrow, but separately from this so that way both have the same chance of winning. As always, if anyone has any questions, comments, or anything else, leave a comment or ask! :)

Yuri slipped behind a tree, cupcake in hand as she hid from the voices of various other children in the garden they were playing in. She walked a little further, trying to look as casual as they could while speed walking just hidden from the sight of the main path. She continued walking through the estate of some noble she didn’t care to know the name of; Probably another Count or Earl, not that it mattered much where a low-ranking noble such as herself would go during a party. She took a bite of the cake, humming slightly at the taste as she went through the hedges. 

They soon paused, listening to the sound of another two other young girls. Looking a bit closer, she was holding a hat with a ribbon around it, a bow, and ruffles on the hem. One of them was holding the accessory, a bit too underdressed for a noble attending a party with a very wealthy child from the frills of her gown, while the other had her hands on her hips as she spoke. 

“It has to be a part of a seaside gown since the hat is made of cloth and it’s decorated enough that it must be worn out of the house! So whoever it came from, they must go near the sea often!” Said the slightly taller girl, seeming quite confident in her assessment. Meanwhile, the other was eyeing the accessory as if trying to solve a puzzle. 

“Yes, but that doesn’t say who it belongs to.” She said, lifting it to her face. Yuri noticed the girl had mostly white hair with black streaks, the opposite of the child she was talking to. Yuri walked into the area they were in, the louder girl noticing her first. 

“Who are you?” She asked, turning before staring at the treat in her hand, “Did you come from the party as well?” Yuri nodded. 

“Yes, I did. They’re still giving out sweets if you want to go back now.” Yuri said, to which the girl with more white hair shook her head. 

“We need to find the owner of this hat first. Do you know anyone who often goes to the seaside there?” Yuri shrugged. 

“No. Most of the noble kids are boring or mean, so I don’t like talking to them. You could always try looking for a girl with a matching dress closer to the patio.” She answered as the girl with more black hair groaned. 

“I know, but we can’t leave again if we go back now.” She said, before adding, “Oh, my name is Yuu Crowley. What’s yours?” 

“I’m Yuri Akatsuki.” She answered, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you two!” She said, turning over to the second girl. 

“I’m Yu. It’s nice to meet you as well.” She said, offering a weak smile. Yuri, once more taking note of the faded yellow of the plainer dress, pulled the hat from her hands and onto her head. 

“And now you’re a noble like the two of us!” Yuu put her hands on her hips at that, saying. 

“She always was one! Besides, you put a saffron yellow next to a pale yellow, with nothing to tie them together; That’s a stupid combination!” Yuri nodded, and ‘oohed’ slightly.

“Well then, I’m sorry, Yu. But I’m not sorry about the hat, I think it looks nice.” She said, sticking her tongue out at Yuu. The two continued to bicker for a while, occasionally asking Yu a question or pausing their disagreements to discuss something else until the sun had started setting. 

“In no world would rosemary tea go better with chocolate scones than-” Yuu was cut off by the deep voice of an older man calling out. He sounded annoyed, as though this had happened enough times it was better to complain than try to change it. 

“Puppy!” He explained, happening upon the area the children were in as the girl in question stood up from where the three had taken seats on the ground. “Did you run off here for the whole party? All the attendants were worried sick when they realized you were missing.” He said, to which the child rolled her eyes, her father returning the favor. He then looked over at Yuri, giving a quick and light bow, her giving a curtsy in return. “Hello, Lady Yuri.” 

“And hello to you, Your Grace.” She said, not bothering to ask the man’s name once she saw the unique hair color that the man had. She then said, “Do you know if my mother is here for me?” He nodded. 

“I believe I saw her when I entered; She was the lady with silver hair, I assume?” When she nodded, Crewel moved to talk to Yu. “Would you like a ride back to your house? We have some extra space in our carriage.” She nodded. 

“Yes, Sir.” He hummed in response, letting Yu hand him the hat. “We found this on the ground. Do you know who it belongs to?” 

“Hm… I don’t believe so, it’s not from a designer that I know well. If no one’s come looking for it, simply put it back where you found it. The owner will retrace their steps back here eventually.” He said, as Yu nodded and put it onto a bench near them while Yuu went up to her father. “You shouldn’t touch things that belong to someone else, and you definitely shouldn’t put them onto your head. You could get lice, and if it doesn’t belong to you, the person who lost it might not know that you took it and it could get even harder for them to find.”

“Papa, let’s go now. I have a book at home that I want to read with Yu.” She said as Yu moved to stand beside the pair. 

Meanwhile, Yuri walked off, towards the location of the party. She went behind her mother, tugging on the sleeve of her dress. She smiled, taking her daughter’s hand as she led her out of the estate, already saying her goodbyes to the hosts. She smiled as they entered the carriage, patting the hair of her firstborn as she fiddled with her hands and dress. 

“You seem extra excited today. What’s the occasion?” She asked, mirth in her voice. “Did one of the boring noble ladies finally do something that you think is interesting?” Yuri shook her head. 

“Even better. I met these two girls, and they were hid- hanging out in the garden where I went, too!” Her mother raised an eyebrow as she continued, recounting the events of the day with the excitement only a child knows. She just had to know their families to open contact. Hopefully, they were also counts or maybe barons, so it would be easy for her to reach out…

“And who are those friends?” 

“Yu and Yuu! I don’t know what title Yu has, but Yuu is the daughter of the grand duke! But, I think she’s silly because she can’t appreciate how rosemary tea is the best! Oh, and-”

mentally i’m a slut physically i’m scared of intimacy 

I found an old list of TWST names according to Google Translate 💀💀

Tag yourself I'm Hard Hammer, housewarden of the beautiful dorm "Blood"

(white girl voice) wait lemme go to the bathroom

I need. Twisted Beastmen and the like. To be more animalistic. Not necessarily like, physically, I don't meant that in the furry sense. I mean that in the 'they're part animal and it'd not just for show' sense.

I want beastmen with claw like nails. Where the cat-like ones tend to walk on their toes when not wearing shoes because it feels right. Where their eyes and pupils reflect the animals that they're partly of. With fangs and teeth appropriate for their species.

Ruggie making laughing noises at the active prospect of food. Whooping when in a fight and needing backup. Lowing when excited for a fight.

Leona roaring to get the whole dorm's attention. Chuffing in greeting at people he considers part of his pride. (He'll sometimes grunt at Cheka like a mother would to her cubs but will deny it.)

Jack barking at danger to warn others and howling to try and figure out where his pack is (he forgets they can't howl back, but Ruggie will sometimes low at him and Yuu definitely tries to howl back.)

I want to see Azul with the tips of his limbs in human form retain some of his octopus natural ability to camouflage. I want to see his hands always moving, grabbing something, holding something. Azul who might not have bones in human form with how flexible he is??

The tweels who aren't very active naturally during the day but get really hyperactive at night. Who bare their teeth at people when excited.

Che'nya who lounges in the sun on lazy days. Who's great at stretching and popping everywhere in his body if he needs to, to a concerning degree.

GIMME FEY WHO DONT ACT HUMAN

Malleus who snorts smoke when he's angry. Malleus who wear gloves because he got claws. Malleus who has a tail and wings outside of his dragon form sometimes.

Lilia who gets just a bit too excited at the prospect of a fight and spilling blood. Who can recognize a person by the smell of their blood. Who makes inhuman noises when too excited and gives off a very eldritch horror kind of vibe if he lets loose.

Sebek who can be found eating rocks sometimes. Who finds quiet in thunder and lightning. Who can move so smoothly and silently you don't know he's there until he opens his maw. Who has a lot of really sharp teeth for someone with a human mouth.

Just- gimme some animal, like, REALISM. PLEASE.
