Workin' Out The Details For A Type 3 NE Species. May Or May Not Share When Finished.

I'm about to have my villain origin story soon because I'm listening to 7 conversations happening at once with no conversation of my own to distract me from the others.

SYLO???? HI

[ sylo ] yo, how's it hangin'?

stories coming along decently well.

finished some chapters.

probably gonna writer's block soon.

I'm gonna be sketching some of my character designs.

I'll probably post them if I ever finish them.

Or start them.

So look forward to my shitty artwork, because I'm not giving you a choice.

y'all, I have a request: throw me some music—preferably music with no words, since that makes it stronger.

for context, I use music to create characters, stories, and events. lately, I've pretty much run out of ideas, and music.

so if you have any music you'd recommend, I'd be happy to try it out.

[ ??? ] the calm before the storm... I've always been fond of storms. they're strong, wild, and fleeting. the calm before the storm is soft and quiet, but fleeting all the same.

[ ??? ] will I be as fleeting as those rainy days I admire? or will another carry on my legacy?

[ ??? ] ...either way, it's not my job to wonder about stuff like that.

[ ??? ] my job is to run.

as the shards fall to the floor, my vision begins to blur. blood drips down from where my head hit the mirror, coating my face whilst i stare blankly into the empty frame.

my shadow is gone once more, fleeing i know not where... and yet it's a place all too familiar to me.

who am i?

[ sylo ] alrighty then. the structure's been explained to the best of my abilities.

[ sylo ] I most likely won't be doing anymore large-scale explanations like that again. so if you wanna learn anything else, just ask.

Yeah.

"I've been wondering..."

lumine doesn't move, but I can tell she's listening.

"I've only ever seen you sitting here. you never seem to go anywhere or do anything. why is that?"

lumine slightly glances over at me. "because I'm waiting."

a confused look slowly creeps across my face. "waiting for what?"

lumine goes back to looking out at the horizon. "not for what."

"y'know," I say, "you can wait while doing other things."

lumine shakes her head. "if I go, I'll be known."

"people already know you exist" I say, throwing up my hands in exasperation. "travelling and actually having fun every once in a while isn't gonna be the end of the syloverse."

lumine turns her head to look at me; something she rarely does. "you don't know how important my role is. I wait here until my time is right."

I let out a long sigh. "fine, fine. if you wanna be so boring as to never step foot off your damn balcony, I'll leave ya to it. but be careful... I might just push you off one day."

lumine chuckles slightly before looking back to the horizon. "once my role has has been played, I'd love to travel with you."

I turn to walk out the door. "yeah yeah. keep on waiting, you raging water."

"see you then, bluejay."
