gay-thic lit anyone? (o/o)

(Like I just,,, I am sad because I might actually have to kill her off, but I'll try and find someone else for the job idk. Also I've decided Margaret's fabulous wife is a doctor and works with none other than the famous Henry Jekyll for plot reasons… she may get unethically experimented on but she will be fine also her name is Anna.)

(Yep. Anna also is Good At Swords and she and Margaret regularly duel. As I recall, Robert mentioned no husband of Margaret in the original letters, so why not wife? Unless I skim-read past that bit, I didn't fully Comprehend the letters lol.)

(Well I recall zero husbands so zero husbands we shall have! Also if Robert and Victor end up together, should this be MLM and WLW solidarity or MLM and WLW hostility? Or gentle bullying in Robert's terrible taste in men? I'm preparing for every eventuality here and I need help.)

(Ooh sounds like a plan! If they don't end up together though, I'll probably be fine with that too because I'm feeling very romance-hostile at the moment. Also Anna, as a werewolf, is going to totally wreck shit up but in a cool way.)

(heavy breathing hi yes I must meet Margaret Esme and Anna right now and I already have adopted them)

(glkdjhlasdjfdkljgaej indeed! I designed them specifically to appeal to Audiences!)

(hahahahaha I'll bet. also, was replying to a different rp that usually has responses of multiple paragraphs, sooooo)

(Anyways I will introduce the three of them when the time comes, and hopefully it will come soon enough because I am Excited.)

(hahahahaha I'll bet. also, was replying to a different rp that usually has responses of multiple paragraphs, sooooo)

(No problem my friend!)

(you and Eva talk so much and for some reason it intimidates me? Idk tell me if that's weird XD)

(I can stop if it helps? I'm just naturally chatty.)

(Also you're by no means weird, you're valid as hell.)

(I can do it for you! 😬 there)

(We should probably get back to the RP now lol. I'll shut up now.)

(Ah no, it's alright, ig I just wanna be chatty with you guys! Just- just in moderation- and not take up an entire page-)

(Oh yeah, definitely. Sorry bout that.)

(Although I would actually like to RP now that we have the chance lmao.)

(I have once again supported this movement)

(also no big deal take ur time)

Victor was asleep once more, but the creature was very awake, and very alert. "Yes, Captain?" he asked politely, looking up at him from his corner. Even sitting down, the creature was eye-level with Robert, and it was an intimidating look. But the creature didn't care for intimidation anymore, not after they had destroyed their chances of ever being accepted, ever truly loved. He knew Robert hated him, after they had exchanged words before. But the creature was too tired for rage and pain, instead choosing numbness above all else.

"Is there something you needed? Are we prepared to leave for London?" he asked, shooting the sleeping Victor an anxious look. The man was snoring softly, but stirred awake at the voices.

"Robert!" he seemed… almost happy to see him again. And Victor was, he craved the connection the man gave him, the chance at normal he felt when he was around the Captain. The creature had become his normal, certainly, but at least now he had a chance at relating to his fellow man a little more regularly.

Robert eyed the figure cautiously. "We are."
Truthfully, he wasn't sure how to feel about the creature. Even now, his story was a lot to process, so he just didn't like to think about it. Perhaps that was cowardly of him. Oh, the irony; he was brave enough to face miles of icy water, and yet he couldn't handle a poor soul's desperate choices. It made him wonder if he was really as kind as they made him out to be. And that… well, it made him scared.
He turned to the stirring bed, following the creature's gaze. "Victor," he greeted amiably. "Are you well-rested? I think we are ready to leave."

(y'know, Robert low-key gives me bi energy)

"I had a dream that I died, and you were sad about it." he frowned, and looked Robert deeply in the eyes. "I don't know why you would have been sad but it was reassuring. And yes, I am completely ready to depart. Creation?" Victor looked over to the creature, a manic energy having suddenly seized the little man. His eyes were wide and wild, hair all askew, and even the creature looked a little scared of him. He wasn't his usual miserable self, that was certain.

"Ahem. I've been as ready as ever, since we heard about leaving port. Are you sure you aren't suffering from your fever, Victor? You seem-"

"Oh, I'm just glad to get off this terrible ship. I haven't breathed in any fresh air in so long that wasn't like ice, this is a good opportunity for me." he said breathlessly, standing up quickly and nearly tripping. Victor's face was unusually flushed, and he looked positively wretched, but if he was ready to leave then he was ready to leave.

"I-I'll help stabilize him." the demon offered, offering some support that Victor only slightly grudgingly took.

(y'know, Robert low-key gives me bi energy)

(He does to me as well! Victor gives me like, romance-neutral-to-positive aromantic gay energy and I might play his character that way idk.)

(I mean we're all valid here with our interpretations and I think that's lovely.)
