@astralpair
Are you celebrating something, or running from something?
[@bloodofmalk] [RHYS] “ Hard to say. From where I’m standing , it looks like we’re running from something. Couldn’t tell you what , though — I was ordered to stay back. After seeing this mess , I’d say that was probably a good call— ”
woah .. you look kinda cool.
[@shotshellish] “ Pfft , yeah ? That wouldn’t be too good to see either. Just trying to help , y’know ? Save you from being shot at around here— ”
[@shotshellish] “ I’m just saying , seeing a demonic creature wandering around isn’t exactly comforting. Maybe consider a disguise before someone mistakes you for a nightmare and causes a scene— ”
/ sorry, last call for the day.. i just love them sm rn.. cb + spec or drop!
comment sk for rhea, sb for rhys.. if not, i’ll pick! <3
/ happy first day of pride month! rhea is pansexual, and rhys is straight.. <3
are you alright?
lovely smiled softly , leading her through the lounge to an area with plush chairs and couches in a circle . " take your pick ~ "
[@-lateniights-] Rhea hesitated for a moment , uncertainty lingering in her expression , before finally pushing herself to her feet. “ . . . Alright , if you’re sure , ” she replied quietly , giving a small nod before falling into step behind the woman.
/ ngl, i feel like rhea’s aesthetic would be horror punk, while rhys would be ska punk.. </3
/ just her with a misfits shirt on, and here’s him with a goldfinger shirt. i love these idiots—
" Okay— okay! I’m done running— just please, turn your light off! "
@astralpair :: I am so so sorry for this late reply!! She rose her eyebrow, " you chased me with a flashlight and saw nothing out of the ordinary?? " Hell she looked— dead. Some of her skin had rotten, one side of her mouth was cut, she smelled like rot and oil, she definitely didn’t look alive… Sabrina seemed to back away, maybe she said too much. Was he going to try and kill her— or if he could. Would he call police? Maybe she shouldn’t have said anything— if she would have just found a hiding spot faster… her undead heart pounded in her chest for what could happen— she was full of what ifs…
[@-bi0haZard0us] He gave a casual shrug as he glanced around the room. Cobwebs hung from the corners , dust coated nearly every surface , and various items were strewn across the floor as if someone had rummaged through the place and never bothered cleaning up afterward. “ Come on , you’ve gotta admit this place is at least a little creepy , ” he said with a chuckle , nudging the floor with his boot and sending a small cloud of dust drifting into the air. Looking back at her , his expression softened. “ And hey , don’t worry about it. I didn’t take any offense. I get where you’re coming from. Still , this doesn’t seem like something worth stressing yourself out over , y’know ? ” He paused for a moment before raising a brow. “ Wait , did you say you haven’t seen the sun in thirty years ? How’s that even possible ? ”
@astralpair " It’s not / just / some creepy place! " She defended lightly, she seemed to straighten her posture. She hated people who came to explore, take things, graffiti the walls… maybe when she was alive it would have been cool but definitely not now that she had to live in an abandoned place. Not a long second after she straightened her posture she sunk again, " I apologize… " she sounded embarrassed almost, " I didn’t mean to lash out like that. " Although one look at her and anyone could see she was (normally) all bark no bite.
Grogu sat cross-legged nearby, holding a small snack between both hands. His eyes shifted from the food.
To the stranger. Back to the food. Then back again.
After a moment of careful deliberation, he extended the snack toward them. An offering. A peace treaty.
Or perhaps he simply wanted to see whether they would eat it first.
[@GreenBeanJedi-] Rhys blinked in surprise as the satchel suddenly floated through the air. His eyes widened , jaw hanging open for a moment as he watched it move on its own. He’d seen plenty of strange things in his life — aliens capable of mimicking people , bizarre technology , all sorts of oddities — but this ? This was something else entirely. Honestly , he thought it was pretty awesome. Reaching out with both hands to take the bag , he paused halfway and glanced down at , amusement and curiosity mixing in his expression. “ You want me to take all the snacks , don’t you ? ” he asked with a soft laugh. Carefully taking the satchel , he shook his head. “ I can’t do that. You’ve gotta eat too , little buddy. I’ll take a few , but the rest are staying with you. ” He flashed a warm smile before peeking inside the bag. “ Though I appreciate the offer. ”
✧【 @astralpair 】✧ Grogu blinked at him slowly. The approval of the snack seemed less important than the fact that Rhys had actually /eaten it./ For a long moment, he just stared—processing, judging, filing the information somewhere behind those wide, unreadable eyes. Then: His ears lifted slightly. A small, almost imperceptible shift in posture. He reached out again. But this time, it wasn’t a single offering. The whole pouch of snacks on the ground beside him twitched. Rhys would feel it first—like a gentle pull at the edge of awareness. Then the pouch lifted. Wobbly at first. Unsteady. Grogu’s tiny hands clenched in concentration as the entire thing drifted through the air… and stopped directly between them. He nudged it forward. An expectant pause followed. Not demanding. Just… waiting. As if the real experiment hadn’t been the snack at all. But /him./
[@GreenBeanJedi-] Rhys couldn’t take his eyes off the little alien. He’d seen plenty of strange creatures throughout the colonies , but none quite as adorable as this one. Ever since meeting Grogu , he’d been grinning nonstop , sitting cross-legged in front of him with genuine curiosity written all over his face. “ Oh ? You want me to try some ? ” he asked , carefully accepting the offered food. Giving it an inspecting glance , he shrugged and took a small bite before handing it back. “ Not bad at all , ” he said with a soft laugh , pleasantly surprised by the taste. Leaning forward slightly , he rested his chin in his hand and smiled. “ You’re a fascinating little guy , you know that ? Makes me wonder where you came from. ”
