She Didn't Back Away, Only Offered A Sassy Hip Tilt For The Approaching Woman. The Kiss Wasn't As Passionate

She didn't back away, only offered a sassy hip tilt for the approaching woman. The kiss wasn't as passionate from her end and not because she moved on so quickly. It's just...he was just...something else.

“Oh you say that like you gave me your number.” a light brown-crimson hair flip

“Besides, you seemed the ‘one night stand and that's it’ type. Or did you miss me so badly?” although Cindy definitely wasn't above a little teasing bite

However Erebus' discomfort did not go unnoticed by the entity, so she quickly put a bit more appropriate space between her and Sakuya.

“We do, it was -correct me if I'm wrong- a one night thing a few weeks before we met.” she didn't know why the last part felt important to add

“Why, you two know each other?”

To keep her voice steady was a task after witnessing that face; her eyes glittered with the unsaid ‘Told you so’ mischief. Performing with him was as easy as a flowing river despite his shock, just like her music was in his veins too.

Her eyebrows furrowed in distaste when someone dared to yell into Erebus guitar solo; the landlady here was quite a bitch. When she heard the door slam was when she kicked her satanic grit into full gear.

“Exploding, reloading; this quest never ending until I give out my last breath.”

Probably the most surprising was that the ground didn’t start to shake at the raw voice of reckoning. Cindy wasn’t just capable of briefly touching the third or second octave but also could stay as long as she wanted to with the previously thought impossible roughness. Powerful and earth shattering, she still finished the long last note, relatively on a clear voice in contrast of the previous stunts.

“It’s called art. And vocal acrobatics.” Cindy answered smugly at the approaching woman, taking her stand between Erebus and…oh. Well…nevermind. She still was a terrible landlady.

“Besides, it was my idea.” she shrugged

Sakuya tore her gaze away from her brother to look at Cindy. Her expression conveying nothing for a moment or two before recognition lit up her entire face. Her previous annoyance all but forgotten.

“Well, well, well~ Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?” Sakuya smirked, climbing up onto the stage. “You don’t write, you don’t call. I’m hurt, Cindy.” Although her playful tone suggests she wasn’t hurt at all.

The cherry blossom Overlord grasps Cindy’s face to capture her lips, unbothered by the fact her brother was standing right there across from her.

“I–you two know each other?” Erebus asked, quickly averting his gaze elsewhere and wishing he was anywhere else but there at that moment.

Quite a crowd despite the outrageous suggestions of the song. The wicked woman only grinned and entertained, drawing more demons close with her warmup and glimpses into her vocal talent. And then she began. Oh so casually, as if it was only a walk in the park

“You ain't no tough bitch, you think you're hot shit”

“Damn, you're all caked up, painted like a gold brick.” and so was the cleanest line of a clue dropped, making many turn their heads in worry but no she couldn't have that.

So she played with the audience masterfully as if the crowd was an instrument of their own. Drawing them further into her own world of vicious rock n roll where nothing else existed just her physics defying harmonies.

“When it's down to the wire, no one here can deny that

I'm b-b-b-b-bona fide!”

And of course she wasn't met with an opposing opinion. Cindy knew well this little song wasn't truly conveying her range nor her grit; but the possible reach of half of her effort if it gets to the right ears was too good to miss out.

The rhythm was catchy, dripping with rightful pride; she breezed through the makeshift stage with unwavering voice, never off key. At last she finally reached the part where her power could blast through a little.

“You ain't no answer, you ain't no savior, you're just a good excuse for bad behavior ”

Her wild grit rang through the open air, a nice little drip of the full power lying beneath the surface.

“You just wannabe, wannabe, wannabe, wannabe

Someone just like me”

Her playful howl rippled through the excited crowd now moving to her rhythm. Jade eyes shone with uncontrollable delight at the success, every concert no matter how many listened was an escape, a chance to build her own world where she truly belonged.

The last notes trailing in the air along with the guitar follow up dissolved into air at last, leaving only her delighted laugh.

“Thank you! For attending to... my little warmup!”

                                                      WE WON’T ABIDE BY ANY RULES

W H E N word reaches Mammon about a certain performer he was more than inclined to divulge in deeper to see if they were as good as his sources claimed. He usually didn’t bother with these sort of things, but if there was a way for him to profit off them then who was he to at least not check to see what all the hubbub was all about? If it turned into a dead end then no skin off his bones– He’d just move on to the next bigger thing, the next profit. No harm no foul. If they were actually good, then and only then would he become interested.

D A W N I N G on an ensemble reminiscent of his rocker days (spiked collar included), he makes his way towards where his sources had indicated he’d find them and luckily for him it was right in his ring. Seems he caught her just as she’s about to perform one of her songs. This he’ll have to listen to…

K E E P I N G to the shadows and blending into the dark, Mammon leans back and merely observes for now; fingers idly tapping along to the beat.

@phoenixborn​

She felt terrible for scaring the woman so badly but she has seen what lengths those ‘pushy guys’ will go if not dealt with immediately.

“Your name is pretty. It suits you.” Cindy replied with a small smile, not moving from her position just yet

“You are the first one to ask that question correctly.” Cindy sighed, head lightly hitting the lamppost as she looked up to the now standing catlike woman

“It is a long story, the short version is that I'm a cosmic entity and have no ties to Hell nor Heaven.” saying out loud...was laughable, expect Summer had seen her do something out of this world so easily

“If you would like to hear the long story, spend the rest of your day without creeps, I would gladly accompany you. And pay for your time of course. I know this realm uses souls as a currency and there's an arena for fights in almost every corner. Just say how much you would like.” she wasn't joking the slightest, Cindy didn't care if she paid for company, at least the woman would be safe from harm while with her. Even though, the ‘soul currency’ left a ghost of a laugh in her; how...fitting yet terrible name. At least when it came to her.

phoenixborn​:

Of course the literal Hell wasn’t just sunshine and rainbows. Jade eyes gradually shifted in color as she witnessed a man more and more actively harass a woman who clearly wanted to get away.

Cindy moved swiftly across the street, ignoring the blaring car horns to put herself between the woman and the offender, catching the man’s hand in a surprisingly strong grip.

“Oh really?” she echoed coldly as she was told off because ‘the bitch is clearly playing hard to get’

The same untameable bestial rage swirled within her just like on Earth, her legs shifting into maroon colored swirling fire, flames darker than the Hellfire itself; hand sharpened into claws seamlessly passing through the skin, piercing flesh. The man couldn’t even scream in agony as cosmic fire flooded him from the inside, his own crimson essence of a soul pouring into her as his second life eventually left him.

Good to know she still can do this trick with ordinary people even here. But when Cindy turned to the woman her heart sank to her stomach.

“You don’t have to be.” she sighed, her height returning to normal along with her voice. Still, she had every right to be afraid.

“It’s okay. I will not hurt you.” her voice steady and she took a few steps back to give her space which she clearly needed

She rested her back against a lamppost, slowly sliding down to the ground as well to appear even less threatening.

“I’m Cindy” she offered, a simple conversation might help her get over the shock as she didn’t dare to leave her alone in this state

She eyed her warily, her fur standing on end, an indicator of her current distress. But the woman didn’t seem to want to hurt her either. Although the feline wasn’t entirely sure if she trusted her yet, she did relax. If only slightly.

“….I’m Summer.” She offered, shakily getting to her feet, her eyes never leaving Cindy’s form. The woman didn’t seem like a normal sinner. No…no sinner had that kind of power. Not even one of the Overlords. “What…are you...?” She asked.

wake up gang a new ship bingo dropped, anyway send me a pairing and I’ll answer!

Some ships to drop

Hysteria x Cindy

Cindy x Seviathan

Cindy x Frederick 👀

Cindy x Velvette (I remember we talked about it once

Cindy x Leviathan

Cindy x Cupid

Cindy x Pitch

Annnnd

Hysteria x Cindy x Seviathan (in which Hysteria and Seviathan constantly fight over the brain cell)

Ship bingo

Hysteria x Cindy

Look it's a bingo!!! Pastel goth & goth punk solidarity! Well, they have a lot in common despite the incredibly different power scale they operate on. Cindy is definitely...not right in the head either but at least she can recognize and enforce the importance of consent & look after Hysteria. It's a really adorable friends with benefits situation between two young women who enjoy their sexuality and don't know nor care when to shut up.

Cindy x Seviathan

You know how long I wanted to do a love story involving reincarnation and not in the traditional way?? They are adorable, can see them as the jock-cheerleader trope a tiny bit as she is bloody athletic. Her traumas, personality feel like they balance his chaotic dumbass out a little while also enabling him. A fun dynamic between literal cosmic horrors and I'm here for it

Cindy x Frederick

I think we both know what she will do if she breaks up with Seviathan, plus burning down most of his belongings- Getting with his dad is definitely not sane or safe but at least consensual and something she would definitely do. She's aware Frederick is married buuut...yeah. It definitely would be a one time thing, I don't think she would be interested after she got what she wanted: revenge and tentacle dicks.

Cindy x Velvette

I mean...it would be fun buuut Cindy is not Rozy. I feel like Velvet could potentially bring up even accidentally too much of her traumas and Cindy won't hang out with a rapist pimp without ending his life. She also chooses to not drink or do drugs in order to protect her voice; the customizing employees would freak her the fuck out. Also if she's stabbed for the fun of it, she will stab back.

Cindy x Leviathan

Cindy carries a surprising amount of envy. She has suffered so much and she doesn't feel she 'got her reward for it' . Many would say cosmic level power IS a reward but sometimes it feels more of a burden. To know, to hear, to experience so much as a bystander. I think Leviathan could very much play with her anger laced envy, for a while. Until Cindy learns he has been holding her distant relative captive. Until he learns that she's a fucking Véghváry.

Cindy x Cupid

Cindy doesn't understand why the sweet angel of love doesn't hate her. It is extremely wholesome, touching that Cupid is trying to show her how love should work, you know without the murder part. I feel like it probably will be platonic, they are adorable, Cindy needs some kindness in her life...and idk if Cupid needs her chaos in hers though😂

Cindy x Pitch.

Based mainly on @spxcemuses Pitch, but if you want to throw yours I'm ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ) Okay. Hooooly fuck. The first ever ship I've written on Tumblr and I'm not over it the slightest. The enemies to lovers, the struggle whenever exploit her fears to tear down the strongest opposing force; the pain whenever to rip the fearlings out of him for him to be free at last. Technically, he is too a cosmic horror & with my original lore about the creator of fearlings Serin'th adds an extra layer of spice. They...gone through so much, there are many layers, threads, jokes tying them together and honestly it's in my top 10 ships ever written.

Hysteria x Cindy x Seviathan

Fun, chaotic and after a while Cindy would probably lose her patience.😂 I do like the concept and the shenanigans it would cause, the pranks, the 'alliances'; I think they would have a great time. But...she needs something more serious in the long term. Someone who is strong enough emotionally for her because she is not.

sender kisses receiver to shut them up. (Reversed!) For Seviathan

Kiss prompts

After probably the eighth ‘It was just a game and I haven't even said it’ she had given up on trying to explain and/or calm the furiously rambling eldritch entity

Of course it made no sense, why would she want to kill him? Besides reckless driving and running her over if not for her powers- Anyways; that was an entirely different topic and she did total his car both as a reflex and revenge.

Still, Cindy had one secret weapon ready which hopefully could stop the never ending flow of words. A firm grab to pull him down to her height followed by an aggressive kiss with a gentle flick of a tongue.

“There. Do you still believe I plan to gruesomely murder you?”
