“I don’t know, they seem pretty keen on surviving. Have you ever heard of the human gas experiments?”

Andrea asks, now genuinely showing interest in Ldeya.

“I’ve been testing the morals of humans for a while. How it works is that gas masks are hung from the ceilings, and every few minute or so they are lifted up by say, a good few centimetres. Eventually you’re going to have to stand on someone’s shoulders to survive and keep breathing in safe air from the gas masks”

Title: mother’s day

happy mother’s day, mama | in which a troubled anne tries her best to celebrate mama ray


Anne had never celebrated Mother’s Day before. With parents who slaves away at their jobs with little time to spare for the children, Anne was left to her own devices whilst her siblings were all out being ‘superstars’. This year, however, equipped with some knowledge on this special day and a mother figure she actually cared about, she decided to try and make today special for Ray. Anne stood in the kitchen, her hands trembling slightly as she put the finishing touches on the breakfast tray. She had woken up early, determined to make this Mother's Day special for Ray. The pancakes were perfectly golden, adorned with fresh strawberries, and a steaming cup of coffee sat beside a small vase of wildflowers Anne had picked herself. Granted, Anne had burnt two batches before that, as well as her fingers, but hey, to Anne, it was a good attempt nonetheless.

As she carried the tray to Ray's room, Anne's heart raced with anticipation and nervousness. Perhaps this was too much, Ray didn’t think her good enough to be a daughter. Perhaps she had made the pancakes wrongly. No, she couldn’t have, she followed the recipe to the very last word. This was considered a nice thing to do for Mother’s Day. She had spent weeks planning this day, hoping to see a genuine smile on her mother's face. How could it not be perfect? But when she entered the room, ‘Mama’ barely looked up from her phone, mumbling a quiet "thanks" as Anne set the tray down. Anne could feel her heart shatter at the lack of a genuine smile. Why? Why did she feel like this? It was….nothing big, was it? Just some pancakes and flowers…….so why did she feel this way? Why did she feel so crushed by Ray’s tired, halfhearted response?

It wasn’t like Anne did some grand thing after all…..why would Ray even bat an eyelash?

Throughout the day, Anne's carefully planned gestures were met with halfhearted responses. The handmade card elicited a brief nod, and the photo album Anne had painstakingly assembled was flipped through with disinterest. Anne’s hands shook as she waited eagerly for approval. Approval that never came. To the ordinary family, these treats for Mother’s Day would be the norm, but to the young Anne with little to no knowledge on how families should be, each simple action felt like a massive effort on her part. Each lackluster reaction chipped away at Anne's resolve, only serving as a reinforcement that she would never, ever be good enough for Ray. Even if she tried her very, very hardest.

The final blow came during the photoshoot of Illusion Studio’s models. As the various models posed for their photos, Ray’s suppressed grief, stress, and anger all coming out at once when several of the Studios’ staff admitted to making a mistake that would set them back by hours. Her mother's patience wore thin, and Ray snapped. "Can we just be done with this? Properly, without any of your stupid mistakes this time?" Ray snapped, her voice laced with irritation.

Anne lowered the final gift box she was holding, her face a mask of calm while her heart shattered inside. She flinched, putting the box away with steady hands that belied the turmoil within, refocusing for the photoshoot. As she watched a frustrated Ray retreat to her office, Anne allowed herself a single, quiet moment of grief for the Mother's Day she had imagined – one filled with warmth and connection – before locking away her disappointment behind her usual stoic facade, smiling brightly for the cameras as she posed, shoulders slightly sagged with the weight of crushing disappointment of not being able to make Ray’s Mother’s Day special.

The day after Mother’s Day
Anne thought it was all over. That she could go sob in a corner over the failure, but at least in peace. However, Ray’s shrill voice soon cut through her heart like a knife, and Anne scurried to see what the matter was. Oh. Her room. Right. Littered messily with hot glue stains, torn paper and everything else she had forgotten to clean up in her hurry to get Ray’s gifts prepared. As Ray lectured her on the importance of….well, whatever Ray was saying, all Anne could hear was her heart beating faster and faster, Ray’s voice nothing more than a distorted and angry yell. Still furious and hurt from the previous day, Anne hurled her feelings out in a cruel stream of words. ”Its no wonder no one loves you. Who could love a monster?”

“Do I believe in the value of living? Eh…..maybe.”

“But do they? Of course, when you force them into fatal situations there’s really no such thing as friends anymore. Everyone wants to survive, and they wouldn’t bat an eye at using others to achieve that”

Andrea smiled, happy to have someone who didn’t shy away from the thought of human experimentation. Maybe she would try being friends with Ldeya. Maybe.

“I’m sure there are other people equally interesting”

Andrea laughs softly

“Humans are interesting. Just not so much in the way you’d expect. After all, it’s a wonder what the mind can do when fear is involved. Humans…are surprisingly determined to survived. Parade your kindness all you like, but we are all incredibly selfish beings”

Andrea hummed as she thought about it

“They’d do anything to survive. Anything

“I’d love to. If I could, that is. Maybe one day I’ll bring you to my lab. I don’t do the….well, unsavory in broad daylight, now do I?”

Andrea lets out a sharp chuckle, downing the last of the wine

“I like you. You’re the first I’ve ever known who’s shared my beliefs. Sure, not all of them, but almost no one gets me. They say I should be put in a hospital”

She laughs again, a smile on her face.

“You don’t find us humans interesting, Ldeya?”

A lot. Though none of it is willing, unfortunately. If only humans used more of their brains…but sadly that seems out of the question for now.


I do research, as you can probably guessed. Started off with plants and stuff. But humans are far more interesting. Intelligent not so much, but interesting…well I’d say they’re plenty interesting. So much to pick apart and discover. I learn something new every time.

Andrea smiled, the thought of her research finally drawing out a genuine smile from her

If I told you, would you believe me?

Andrea asks, looking up as Ldeya. She lazily waved her hands, bringing one of her dolls to life and taking the wine glass it presented. She hands it to Ldeya and pours her another drink, before sighing

I like to experiment, see. The human mind works in curious ways and there’s so much untapped potential within all of us.

Andrea brushed the doll’s hair as she spoke, before lifting it up to show Ldeya two very lifelike eyes in the doll’s face, in place of where the normal drawn on or plastic eyes would be.

How else do I get them to trust me, dear Ldeya? Sure, I’m pretty, but I still need more than that. You know? After all. I need them for….things. Plus it’s a good way to get free gifts. People are suckers for a charming personality.

Andrea chuckles dryly. She could sense Ldeya wasn’t the type to care about public appearances, and she honestly respected that. But as much as she shared the same beliefs, she also had her other motivations

Andrea let out a scoff of disbelief “More like it’s some fetch quest where we do the dirty work for them. Graduation Quest my foot, more like free labor.”

A bored yawn, before she spoke up again “Hopefully it’s exciting. I don’t expect to waste my time here” Andrea rummages in her luggage, pulling out a bottle of hard liquor that probably…likely wasn’t included in the packing list. She poured herself a glass, and handed another to Ldeya. “Cheers. Hope I- we don’t die of boredom”

Andrea groans “I dunno, either. I’d rather be doing better things than this. But you know, public appearances are important or something, blah blah blah and all that stuff society believes in”

Andrea huffs and glares at the others in the auditorium. “I’d rather be sleeping, Ldeya. This is a very poorly planned graduation”

“Hmmm? Oh yeah. Andrea. Andrea Kingsley. That’s me.” Andrea glances up at Ldeya tiredly, offering the girl a half smile. “Nice to meet you Ldeya” Andrea replies, smile perhaps a little more fake than usual. Looking Ldeya up and down, she smirks a little “Not particularly excited to graduate, are you? Well neither am I”

Title: Flower Crown | Blossoming Bud (Picture Not So Perfect)

In the quiet countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of city life, Anne's family lived in a small, weather-beaten shack. The roof leaked whenever it rained, and the walls creaked with every gust of wind. Despite their financial struggles, Anne's parents did their best to create a loving home for their children. Anne, the youngest of four siblings, always felt like she was living in the shadow of her older brothers and sisters.

Her siblings, though kind, often overshadowed her with their achievements, however modest. Her eldest brother, Ethan, was the best mechanic in the village, known for his ability to fix anything. Her sister, Alice, an excellent cook, her dishes bringing smiles to everyone who tasted them. Even the mischievous youngest brother, Jack, had a knack for storytelling that captivated the neighborhood children. Anne, however……well, she struggled to find her own place.

From a young age, Anne knew that her family's poverty was a heavy burden. She watched her parents work tirelessly, her father laboring in the fields and her mother taking up odd jobs around the village. Anne wanted more for herself and her family. She was determined to escape the cycle of poverty and to prove that she alone was capable of achieving greatness.

Anne devoured every book she could find, from tattered old novels to school textbooks her siblings had discarded, fishing the grimy, torn books from the dustbins before cleaning them off with the utmost care. Each book was a treasure trove of knowledge waiting to be discovered. She spent countless hours studying, often by candlelight, as her family slept. The more she learned, the more she dreamed of a different life. She envisioned herself living in a grand house, wearing elegant clothes, and mingling with the upper class. But these dreams were not just fantasies; they became her driving force.

Her dream became her goal, her determination turned into an obsession. Anne sought perfection in everything she did. She practiced her handwriting until it was flawless, rehearsed speeches until they were captivating, and honed her skills until she excelled in all her subjects. Her teachers noticed her dedication and began to give her extra attention, seeing a spark in her that was rare in their small village.

Despite her achievements, Anne's relationship with her family grew strained. Her parents and siblings didn't understand her relentless pursuit of excellence. They saw her long hours of study and her increasing detachment as a sign that she was abandoning them. Anne's mother would often find her lost in thought, staring out the window at the distant city lights. "Anne, come back to us," she would say, but Anne's mind was already miles away.

Anne's transformation wasn't just academic. She observed the behavior of the wealthy visitors who occasionally passed through the village. She noted their manners, their speech, and their poise. She practiced these traits in front of the mirror, perfecting a charming smile and a graceful demeanor. She knew that to fit into the world she aspired to join, she had to become someone entirely different.

As Anne grew older, her hard work began to pay off. She received a scholarship to a prestigious school in the city, a place where she could finally prove herself. Leaving her family behind was the hardest decision she ever made, but she was resolute. With a heavy heart and a determined spirit, Anne set off for the city, vowing to return one day as a success.

In the city, Anne's transformation was complete. She adopted the persona of a confident, sophisticated young woman. Her charm and talent won her many admirers, but few knew the true Anne hidden beneath the surface. The distance from her family grew, both physically and emotionally, as she climbed the social ladder.

Anne's success story became well-known, but only she knew the cost. Her obsession with perfection, her relentless drive to be the best, and her carefully crafted facade left little room for genuine connections.

”Oh shit, why are half of them kids?”

Name: Liang Hui Xin
Age: 25
Gender/Sexuality: Female/asexual-demiromantic
Alliance: Mafia
Position in Alliance: Boss
Appearance:

Personality:
ISTJ | 1w2 | TiSe
Huixin is the boss for a reason. Charming, deceptive, yet calculating and cruel. Huixin is someone who is not to be messed with, a ruthless logician under the guise of a charismatic beauty. Being in the mafia leaves little room for mistake, with every step comes the possibility of being ambushed by the security agency. Hence, Huixin is careful to plan every attack, she and her crew carrying out each mission with frightening precision and efficiency. If you’re planning to stand in her way, you better be prepared to be completely obliterated.

That isn’t to say she doesn’t care for her mafia, though. Despite being a little emotionally detached, she tries her best to treat them well, whether it be a nice meal or the occasional gift.

Ability:
Reality Warping.
Huixin is able to change, create, or even destroy parts of or the entirety of reality. Basically, she can freely control and alter reality, potentially even having complete control over it. One drawback is that the world must be balanced. For example, if she wanted to make the sky green, then grass would have to become blue. Furthermore, the extent to which she uses her energy depends on how grand the change is, as well as how big the space is.

Weakness:
Huixin can be rather harsh and brutal at times to her own crew. She’s not quite sure who she really is at times, having been numbed to emotions

Reality warping depends on how strong an emotion is, too. So weaker emotions like anticipation wouldn’t trigger a very realistic change, and misdirection of her magic may hurt those around her.
History:
She took in Yu Xuanji after she had been abandoned by her parents, providing her with a roof over her head and the occasional warmth of a mother

About Ldeya Starlys : Executive
“Ldeya? She’s very capable, and she’s drop dead gorgeous. Extremely useful when the target is some annoying middle aged man. She’s executive for a reason. I would know, I appointed her myself. She seems eager to learn the ropes, and I must say, she has a lot of potential to be the boss if I ever step down. She’s my little prodigy student.”
About Yu Xuanji : Member
“Xuanji? She’s the little baby of the mafia. I took her in, see, poor thing was traumatised by her brother’s suicide. I’d love her like my own, that is, if I knew how to love. She’s talented, albeit a bit cheeky at times, but she’s young, she’s still got lots to learn”
About Mun Saeng-i : Medic
“Saeng-i? Oh, you mean little salmon. Our resident medic, and talented too….it’s just that she is a little impatient sometimes. She could achieve so much more if she put her mind to it. But poor thing, I don’t blame her. She’s still young anyways. She’ll learn the ropes, she has Shieta
About Shieta Ravil: Chief Medic
“Shieta? Well, you know how those games of Werewolf and ironically, Mafia, that we used to play, there was this role called witch? That’s Shieta for you. Resident mom and fun-spoiler. Say….I probably should pay her for being a therapist and babysitter too”
About Liyue: Member
“Liyue? She’s far too pure and innocent. I wish I could give her a brother…but I don’t think Shieta would approve of me taking some little child’s life to swap for a brother for little Liyue.”

Gender/Sexuality: Female/asexual-lesbian
Alliance: Elite Security Thingy
Position in Alliance: Member ( •̀ ^ •́ )✧
Appearance: this but bubblegum pink hair
Personality:
goofy | playful | eccentric | kind | smart
Ellie is perhaps a little childish for her age, always bouncing around the place and occasionally causing a ruckus. As a result, her code name has become the little whirlwind, and it doesn’t help that she’s naturally faster than the average human either. If it’s not a mission, you can be sure Ellie isn’t really paying much attention, her mind a mess of different jumbled thoughts, a chaotic bundle of creative energy
Ability:
Weather Manipulation
Enhanced Speed
Not really an ability - but she is a contortionist
Weakness: sometimes a little rash and hot headed, which can land her in dangerous situations

Graduation? Oh hell no. She leapt out of the makeshift bed (comprised of her luggage and a quilt), and began strolling lazily to the auditorium with an audible yawn. What did she pack in her luggage again….? This shit was heavy. Really heavy. Andrea sighed, picked up her luggage, yelled a brief “Watch out” before flinging her suitcase straight into the auditorium……..which obviously caused it to fall open, several oddly shaped packages rolling to the ground, including one that looked suspiciously like an arm. Eh. It was just the unique packaging…there definitely wasn’t an actual human arm in there. Among the pile of odd objects, there were the following: a crystal ball, a bunch of powders, as well as a bucket full of heads- doll heads, lego figurine heads….and a pile of clothes far too small for Andrea which seemed to have spilt out of the mini suitcase in the suitcase.

And then Andrea herself trudged into the auditorium, slumped into a nearby chair and started swaying herself animatedly in attempts to not fall asleep

Quincy woke up in her favorite place. Sure, home where Faith was great, and she couldn’t possibly ask for better, but sometimes you needed a little sparkle, you know? Her bed was still cutely animal themed, and as she opened her bedroom door, a swarm of strange and curious animals came running up to her happily. There was a creature with a leopard’s head, a swan’s wings, a snake’s body and a spider’s leg, another with a giraffe head, dolphin torso and eagle’s feet. All fantasy creatures born from Quincy’s imagination, and brought to life by Fairyland’s whimsical magic. Laughing giddily, she happily reached out to embrace all animals in a soft, warm hug.


Faith was sure she was hallucinating. Quite sure, in fact. Because where else would that be a giant ugly celery and googly-eyed rock? She sighed, rubbed her eyes, stared at the screen again, before sighing deeply and pinching the bridge of her nose. Why. Just why.

"This is the weave of the world. This is reality. Everything else is nothing but a by-product – random and accidental – of this movement, and this combining of atoms.”

[Name]
Andrea Kingsley

[Age]
23

[Gender/Sexuality]
Female/Asexual-Demiromantic

[Personality]
INTJ The Intellectual | 5w4 The Philosopher | Sagittarius

She is confident, analytical, and ambitious in their behavior. Andrea loves to pursue knowledge and tend to be very logically minded. She tends to listen to her strong intuition and loves to see how everything connects together. She is focused on the bigger picture and may overlook small details.
Intellectuals are very logical and rational. She bases her decisions on what makes sense and might have a harder time connecting emotionally. Andrea is organized and prefer following a plan, loving to set and achieve goals.
Probably one of the more mentally unstable ones, Andrea is narcissistic and passive aggressive. She is described as a cynical, sadistic and psychopathic person, having long lost the very essence of what it means to be human. She is smart, not just in terms of intellect but also street smarts. But above all, she is manipulative. Is she ever truly on anyone’s side? She can be a saint, she can be a devil, a sweetheart or a monster, depending on her audience.

Andrea can heal or replace any non-vital organ with a cloth one, which will function like a normal one would. As long as in use, it drains Andrea of her energy and health at a constant rate.

[Backstory]
A pretty face and charming smiles, the world is your oyster when everyone’s tripping over their own feet to appease you. Andrea has everything she wants, from money to fans, you name it, she’s likely got it. One would think that she’s just ditzy darling who’s extremely spoilt, and while the latter is true, Andrea’s mind is not to be underestimated. Andrea can and will use people to her own advantage, whether it be asking them for favors, or something else. She rarely thinks of others, and while she appears to be very charming on the outside, her true intentions are often borderline psychotic. It’s hard to know her true nature, especially given her innocent, doll-like features and a constant smile on her face. Andrea has spent years perfecting her lies, and her disguise is one that is extremely hard to break.
After all, Andrea is what one would call a performer, and the world is her stage.

[Examples of Past Crime]
Human Experimentation
When Andrea first found out she had powers, the first thing she did was, naturally, to test its limits. And how better to test them than on her enemies? And so, well….. that’s exactly what she did

When school ended, Quincy skipped back home, where dinner was ready and waiting for her, Faith presumably having gone downstairs to do the washing. Faith had made Quincy’s favorite pasta again, and she gobbled it down within minutes before heading to bed.

Faith had warmed the sheets beforehand, placing heating pads under the soft mattress, arranged her toys neatly into a line, and changed her blanket to her favorite beary blanket. Perfect for transportation to Fairyland, Quincy thought to herself. She turned on the bunny nightlight and clapped her hands to turn the ceiling light off, before waiting for Faith to enter with hot cocoa and tuck her in to bed.


Faith left Kubo and Lilias as the sun set; promising to help them tomorrow if they met at the same spot. She returned home, prepared food for her parents, Quincy and herself, before going to the basement to pick up the family’s washing she had put in the machine the morning before they left for school. Once that was done, she began preparing hot cocoa for Quincy

“My name? It’s Faith. Faith Alefrostair. I heard you talking about math, hmm? I can help.” Faith seemed unperturbed by the young Kubo’s glaring, a kind smile on her face. “Long division’s easy. It’s kind of like guessing games. Do you like guessing games?” Faith asked softly, with smiling eyes and an aura that radiated warmth…sort of motherly. Mind you, Faith wasn’t that tall, and younger than Lilith, but something about her made her seem mature. It was as if she knew many things, her eyes twinkling with a mysterious spark.
