“Um, I prefer ‘nimrod’, or maybe ‘goof’,” Marie piped up, having overheard. ‘Cretin’ sounded like they were gonna face an unholy wrath of some kind. At least the two she offered were more petty insults.
The Repairman turned to look at her in disbelief and (silent) approval. That was such a weird thing to say, but it was a decent quip! Quickly, she hid the trowel behind her back, whistling innocuously. She knew how the inkblot felt about having an assistant, but darn it, she was going to assist!
“…To be fair,” the Repairman admitted, “I doubt I could read it either…”
He had a strong suspicion that the book was not written in English. Marie, however, was not yet savvy enough to think of that, and simply shrugged. She was sure she could read it!
“…Wait a minute!” the Repairman exclaimed, looking back at the demon. “Your wall? No, no, I’m only touching the Fourth Wall. My job to fix that.”
“Yeah,” Marie chimed in, “We’re–er, he’s not gonna hurt your wall any. No need to worry!”
It says it sends the ask but it doesn’t. My gf and I were trying since 2 days now and we just found out what the problem was. Pass it on.
This explains SO MUCH GRRGHH
THERE IT IS OH MY GOD
HOLY SHIT WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN
Rustbolt stood up, now TRULY awake. He
brushed himself off and looked at the repairman. “Uh, sorry about that,
little uh… Tar blob.” Furrowing the skin where a brow should be, he
looked over at Marie.
“What’re you doing? Actually, what’re BOTH of you doing?” Rustbolt cautiously altered his footing and pulled out a spatula.
“…Ink,” the Repairman mumbled. “Not tar.”
Both ink and paint sprang back a little as a spatula popped out. They both adjusted to either defend themselves or flee when they saw the zombie’s pose.
“…L-look,” the Repairman finally said, “I’m trying to fix something here! We don’t want any issue…”
Marie cautiously moved forward and held up one of the piles of parts. Maybe that could help out some. Neither of them meant any harm, and this was easy proof.
“…I, uh, couldn’t help but see you dropped these. I hope the way they’re sorted is okay.”
“Well, I’ve never taken care of a child before…” Quartz stated. “But
maybe Bowyetta and I can learn together, and maybe Beep can teach us!”
“And Bonkakira can teach her to protect herself,” Bonk added.
Barrette
looked at Cat Slime, twanging her string at him with a sharp-tooth
smile. She gently placed a hand on his head. “Squish!” she suddenly
exclaimed. “Squish squish!”
“Please to being careful with Cat Slime, Barrette,” Bowyetta cautioned her gently.
Barrette
nodded, before looking back at Mr. Sir. She reached into her hair,
pulling out some sort of doll that resembled Bowyetta’s Heishi dolls,
and gave it to him. “Can play?” she asked.
Cat Slime giggled as Barrette went “squish!” Her hand tickled a little, and that added “squish” was just more than he could take.
He seemed a little disappointed as Barrette drew her hand away, but hey, it was fun while it lasted. He watched, curious as to what would happen next.
The Repairman took the doll, and after a moment’s thought, smiled.
“Sure. Let’s see how this goes!”
***
In the Corrugated City, nobody knew where the giant feline monster came from. All the people knew was they had to get out of its way, now! Countless plastic civilians ran from the beast, who thankfully seemed more interested in tearing their buildings than their bodies.
The mighty creature let out a mighty…
“SQUEEEEEE!”
The Repairman held the doll a small distance from the roaring Cat Slime.
“Oh no,” he exclaimed, in a bad falsetto, “What can we do to stop this terrible monster?”
[[Rocks and Zelda stuff (especially Spirit Tracks).]]
“…Really, it’s hard to look at long, rolling hills with castles in the distance and not think of a bunch of green-clad elven–Hylian heroes! Heh…Also, some of those cold, creepy, abandoned caves remind me somehow. Not sure why…all that’s in them is a bunch of monsters and weird torch switch–ohhhhh….”
Thank you so much everyone for following my blog! While balancing work, art, and other things, I’m glad to see how many of you decided that my art was worth your time.
So, to commemorate this event, I will be holding a contest!
Hikari’s Art/Writing Contest:
-Prize: a single character sketch (no color) commission (usually a $15-20 value)!
What’s the difference between a commission and a request?
For starters, you can ask me to draw your OC! Generally, humanoid characters have to be clothed and no nsfw, but otherwise most any character should be fine for a free sketch comission!
It also means that I will be checking with you to make sure you are satisfied with the final sketch! If you need me to make changes to pose/expressions, I will be more than happy to do so!
Anyways, here are the prompts!
Art Side Prompt:
Draw a character from oneof the following media:
Villainous
Demon’s Crest
Darkest Dungeon
Monster Hunter
Versille Tour (my visual novel demo)
Any of my OCs (eg, Rent-A-Bot, Riaki, Tux, Yuuko, Cornelius, etc. If you want more examples of which ones are my OCs, feel free to ask!)
Writing Side Prompt:
Either:
Write a poem, or
Write a short story
Content: The poem/story can be about any of the media listed above. Acceptable examples include, but are not limited to, writing about your favorite characters, ships, memories, and/or moments from any of the media listed above!
Also! The writing does not have to be in English! I can use Google Translate if I have to, so if you’re more comfortable writing in another language, please do so!
Rules!
Must be following!
One entry per side prompt (meaning you can send in one art and one writing, but you can only win once!)
You may post entries to your own blog and then notify me via ask of it (since I’m not sure how much I can trust the mentioning system).
No nsfw! There can be some wounds and fighting, but nothing too gory.
The contest ends on August 12th, 2017. No more entries allowed once it hits August 13th, 2017 12 AM, PST.
I will be picking out two winners from each sideprompt, for a total of four winners!
I feel like this is my first time doing a contest like this, so if you guys have any questions or suggestions for my next milestone event, please let me know!
Update: There are currently 2 entries that have been brought to my attention. (One art, one writing)
For people who are still looking to enter, there’s still time!
