˝⠀not sure..  must be from the herb specializing class.  they planet these,  but i didn't know it could latch onto you-⠀˝⠀⠀just when he thought he'd have a peaceful stroll..  great.  umbriel sighed,  finally free from the vines.⠀⠀˝⠀thanks..⠀˝

 私の最愛の人へ   ✧   @solticest:  how did you manage to get all of this stuck to you? [they inquire, staring down at the changeling as tendrils suction off the mess of vines around the other.]

 私の最愛の人へ   ✧   @burybody:  [although concerned by what that statement meant, eirik decided not to press any further. the kraken wore their typical composed smile, but what was underneath couldn’t be any less than embarrassment. a large predator like themselves would never want to be displayed as weak, and it took everything apart of eirik to portray themselves as anything but.] . .why would you bother to help? [the coldness of keigen’s skin sinks into their own heat, a mixture of desperation and stubbornness as they couldn’t help but be inclined to take control of this situation. get on top of keigen and do what they needed to do in order to get rid of such an ache, but they stay stationary as the carnivore’s head tilts into the touch. breath hitching at their proximity, shaken again,] ⁽  p  ⁾ . .  please, help me, keigen. [taller figure ultimately shrinking in on itself, unable to contain the way they wanted to swallow the other whole, or perhaps the other way around.]

“   guess that person must’ve lied to me! honestly, i’m going to have to give them a piece of my mind once this is all over.   “          keigen appeared surprisingly cheery despite the.. situation he now found himself in. eirik’s flimsy resistance means he enters the room quite easily, taking in the taller’s flushed state and the messiness of their bedroom. though the smile remains, if you paid attention you could probably notice the way the yokai’s gaze darkens with concern.           “   you know you can’t make me leave that easily, right? i barely listen to the teachers anyway! in any case,     (…)     it seems to me that you’re suffering in some way. does it hurt? i’m not so cruel as to leave someone unattended to in their time of need!   “           his hand cups their cheek, thumb rubbing circles onto heated skin. evidently that was a good decision, based on the minute relaxing of eirik’s shoulders.. keigen draws closer at that moment, peering at the kraken with an uncharacteristically serious air.           “   want me to help? if you really don’t want me here, i’ll leave. but you gotta tell me that clearly, yeah?   “

 私の最愛の人へ   ✧   @burybody:  who told you that? [it came out almost accusatory, but eirik opened the door hoping that it was medication on the other side of the door, not an entire person. it had been late june, but the kraken’s heat had came surprisingly delayed. nobody could blame them for being rather defensive, especially not when they’re in such a vulnerable state. pale flesh is unbelievably flushed, face barely peaking through as their body shook quietly. when keigen seems to forcibly push his way through, the sea creature couldn’t do much except accept their fate. they wanted to push him away, slam him straight out the door, but their legs felt weaker in the presence of the yokai. the edges of eirik’s ears were stained pink, a heavy sigh hung over the room as they bury their face in a cold palm.] . .i’m not sick, i requested three days off i   ⁽  ah  ⁾,  you’re too close i —-  [it felt embarassing to admit, ashamed to be rendered so useless at this time of the year. infected by this sickening desire, although not the same species, the urge still grew.] it’s my species mating period, please leave, [their voice shook, typical composure undone.]

@voratics   ,͟,͟ ͟ ͟✧͟    . .   i’m not sure if i could adjust to this new environment, it’s admirable how you and heilyx seemed to have adapted so easily. . [eirik trails off, but surprised to hear that caelux held the same sentiment to how the kraken had felt. tendrils slowly fold to hold themselves, tempted to hide among them until they see the serpentine pull towards eirik. eyes glancing down to their tentacle being held, but it brings a familiar comfort until the sea creature nudges a bit closer.] you don’t have to protect me anymore, cae cae. nothing will happen here, so you can rest with me . .   it’s best we go to sleep. [the platinum-blonde muses, lips tugging into a smile, a palm brought up to gently press against caelux’s cold scales. hand smoothing down their tail, offering a silent thanks for the comfort. unsure if the other knew just how much it meant to them.]

caelux tilts their head,  musing to their reminiscent response.  of course,  the latter relates,  they've also longed for the deep blue sea──the vastness and its reassuring freedom. ⠀˝  i see.  it is never easy having to adjust to a completely different world than ours─   though,  somehow,  i came to acknowledge the livelihood here.  being on land has..  surprisingly broadened my tastes.  i hope you would consider giving it a chance.  ˝⠀ they sympathize.  as caelux comforts the homesick kraken,  they find solace in knowing they are not alone in missing home.  upon sensing eirik’s anxiousness,  the serpent swims near,  a scaled tail enwrapping to the dark tendrils..   though the question caught them off guard.⠀  ˝  .. it's merely an old habit.  i find it difficult to sleep early.  i used to stay awake to watch over my siblings,  and,  ever since then–  ..i've never quite managed to break the routine.  ˝ ⠀it takes a quite while..  until they'd add another statement. ⠀˝  i...  cannot rest properly,  while knowing you remain awake.  i find myself compelled to ensure that you are well.⠀˝

私の最愛の人へ   ✧   @voratics,  i miss the sea, [eirik remarks, a sense of longing lingering in their heart as they remember the vastness of the ocean. a place for exploration, not some makeshift pool to keep them appeased; but not truly satisfied. the kraken shifts their body, turning to face the serpentine before tendrils move their figure until they’re just a bit away from caelux—seeking comfort as they usually had when they were younger, and eirik had been scared of the great white’s that wandered by, back when they were still children.]  . .you’re not asleep either though. is something troubling you as well? 

 私の最愛の人へ   ✧   @voracities:  [it’s alarming to find such a vast difference in their heights, and it’s been only a few years since they had all separated. however, another tentacle goes to lightly brush turquoise hair out from heilyx’s face. a frown settling,]  . .it’s easier to have a conversation without having to look down all the time, my neck hurts because everyone at the academy is terribly small.  [and eirik would squeeze the serpent’s frame just a bit harder,] i don’t think you can tease me anymore either, perhaps i should get back at you for all the times you commented on how tiny i was in comparison to you and caelux.  ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ

˝⠀haha,  that tickles!⠀˝⠀⠀laughter bubbles across their lips,  the serpent’s own limbs was quick to entangle against eirik’s thick tendril.  it's rather expected from their species to enlarge at that intimidating degree,  seeing it in the flesh was more amusing,  though.⠀⠀˝⠀i'm not sure where caelux is,  they must be attending that god awful class for sirens.  anyways  ..why'd you make yourself smaller?  did you miss me teasin’ you before?  you're not a small fry anymore!⠀˝

it may have not been the voice which* 

“   i’m not.. ‘too tiny’, as you say—        you’re just insanely massive! honestly, are you looking down on us more humanoid ones?   “           an equally teasing retort, keigen finds himself sticking his tongue out at the much bigger monster. a pause, and his arms cross. idly twirling scissors with one hand, while the other taps at the handle of one of his treasured knives.           “   if anything, isn’t it bothersome to try and get around? i’d wanna cry if i had to fit myself through a doorway like that!   “

@burybody  no, really? [the kraken inquires, finding it oddly amusing for such a noticeable observation. eirik crouches forward, letting their entire figure loom over the other as lips stretch wide, a line of teeth exposed.] and your much too tiny to be here, the other sea dragon’s are sure to grind your bones in-between their mouths. frightening, isn’t it? [though it wasn’t much of a threat, and the kraken’s intent behind it wasn’t to truly scare the other, but to simply tease. how embarassing it must be to be so helpless and small, they pitied the tiny creature.] 

         when his feet are both firmly on the ground,  he breathes a clear sigh of relief.  shoulders dropped several degrees, and the irrate expression flattens to usual impassiveness - even if it still lingered in anger.    ``    i was trying to get my bag back.  "   

@studiousIy   [watching naoyé struggle while being entangled by whatever mess he caught himself in. eirik can’t help but stare in endearment, the tall figure finally uses their tentacles to grasp onto the student. pulling him down slowly until both feet settle on the ground,] how did you manage this to begin with?

       ``     don't be rude.  help me.   " 

          ``    you interrupted me whilst I was on my way to the archives.   "       ears tint pink at the slimy appendages that toy with hem,  and he swallows nervously  --  whether fear or habit, he wasn't sure.   he watches every movement, half-expecting for jaw to cover his head and bite it clean off.    not that anything besides the tension in his posture may allude to that passing thought.   in all honesty,  he originally started these studies with nothing better to do. he was scared of the monsters, naturally, and often tried his best to steer clear of them (to much avail, clearly).  it just so happened this passtime of his became rather interesting.    ``    i doubt that.  humans aren't that interesting as a species compared to everything here.   " 

私の最愛の人へ   ─ ✧   @studiousIy,  [it’s interesting to observe how the other reacts, and dark tentacles quietly play with the hem of the bottom of naoyé’s uniform mindlessly,] you don’t seem very busy right now, in fact. .  you weren’t lying, . . (✿◠‿◠)  are you? [their head tilts, but eirik could care less about studying. this school didn’t seem all that keen on truly caring for student’s who were planning to properly learn. instead, everyone who stayed here seemed to only be interested if humans could co-exist with the very monsters that kept them locked in their houses every day and night.] i could be doing them, but it’s much more fun to learn about you.

        the texture of those tentacles that slide and suckle at his waist  is foreign and grotesque.   a shiver jolts his spine and shoulders hike up with tension.  his brows knit together,  eyes narrow and sit firmly to watch the tendrils, whilst a disapproval curl snags his mouth.     ``   i told you,  i'm  busy.   "    he reiterates,  irritation complimenting the usual flat tone of his voice.    he lifts his head up,   meeting the condescendant gaze tilted down to him.   he huffs,  his stubborness  warring over survival instinct.   he was very aware that he could  die  --  it was plausible anywhere he goes here, it seems.       ``    I'm trying to study.   don't you have lessons of your own?    "

a horror, original character connected to a concept created by myself and melon. various sources include the kraken, scandinavian folklore, eldritch horror, and the blue-ringed octopus. triggering topics include cannibalism, gore, violence, and more. please interact to your own discretion, character portrayed using azul from twisted wonderland. created by kanna. 

a creature found within the depths of the cold, norwegian coastline. the very birthed tale of what men know as the kraken, an ancient creature now concealed beneath cold skin and a calm demeanour. now on land, and invited to the academy, eirik’s body stands tall at a height of eight feet. faint, cobalt blue rings blossom on their skin underneath their uniform, and incredibly dangerous to touch when exposed. beneath the ocean’s surface, such designs dissolve, and their lower half is fractured into bioluminescent tentacles that stretch and have the capability of crushing hulls. while eirik retains venom that is potent to even the most deadliest of supernatural creatures.
