Crimson eyes shot up towards the fire-haired woman a smirk slowly creeping across her lips as the hand that Sunset helped it way up gives that breast a firm squeeze before raising her head up only to lean forward to press her lips against her’s.
Sunset hungrily returned the vampires kiss, shoving her tongue into her mouth, battling it for dominance. She pulled herself in closer, raking her hands all along every inch of skin she could touch, panting with lust. “God, I love you…” She whispered.
“Ok, well we’re not running all the way.” Shimmer said. With a small grunt, a pair of red and black wings, almost like a bats, sprung out of her back. Giving her body a little shake, she flapped them a couple of times, taking to the air briefly before touching back down.
She bent over slightly before looking over at Savannah with a grin, saying “Hop on!”
“Oh, Sparda, my savior…”
The teen stared in awe before running up to Shimmer, giggling in both fright and excitement. “This is- this is gonna be so cool!”
“Heh, glad ya think so squirt. Now hold on!” And with that, Shimmer dug her heels slightly into the dirt, before giving her wings a strong powerful flap. She shot up into the air like a rocket, gripping Savannah’s legs tightly so that she wouldn’t fall off.
“An hour?!” Shimmer exclaimed. “And you just thought that you were gonna run all the way there?” She said sternly.
“H-Hey, I run there and back all the time! … Okay, sometimes I have to stop and take breaks and walk. But if anything chases me it usually loses me by the time I get to this weird tunnel…”
“Trust me. I, uh, I am an experienced demon documentor. … That’s not even a word, but I am experienced at, uh, running away.”
“Ok, well we’re not running all the way.” Shimmer said. With a small grunt, a pair of red and black wings, almost like a bats, sprung out of her back. Giving her body a little shake, she flapped them a couple of times, taking to the air briefly before touching back down.
She bent over slightly before looking over at Savannah with a grin, saying “Hop on!”
Shimmer pinched the bridge of her nose with a sigh, before saying “… Okay. Okay kid. I’m trusting you. But if this doesn’t 5, and the moment anything goes south, I want you to run from here as fast as you can, and don’t stop until you get somewhere safe. Don’t stop record, don’t look back and don’t try to help me. Do you understand?” Shimmer said in a serious tone, kneeling down and placing a hand on her shoulder.
“Y-Yeah.. yeah, I understand,” Savanna responded, not looking up at her and rubbing her arm. “I always run when there’s danger anyway. But apparently these guys can get really.. really big.. so if I upset a parent or a big demon and they come to destroy the, uh, the city, um.. um.. please don’t tell Nero I did it.”
“He already knows I’m not normal.”
Shimmer ran a finger across her lips as she said, "Alright then kid… Are you ready?“
Over my past years roleplaying I’ve put together a list of small things I occasionally need to remind myself of for whenever The Anxiety™ comes to town. Hope it can help y’all out as well!
This is not an expectation: Nobody expects anything from you, and you don’t owe anyone 1 thing. You are here for YOU and nobody else, anyone who says otherwise needs to be cut from your life bcos u don’t need that. snip snip.
Who said you had to be the best?: I find myself often trying to just be the BEST because I think it will stop me from being anxious, but it really just makes it worse. Focusing on only being the “best” takes the focus away from the fun of it.
You can’t please everyone: This goes for more than just roleplaying, but there is such a componentin anxiety that makes this extremely difficult to accept. Take a deep breath and just say it until you hear it. It’s okay, people will get mad at you, you will have bad interactions; such is life.
Icons/Promos/Art/Themes do not equal quality: I used to think I would never be quality until I had all those things, but really, it’s in the writing and interaction. I can list endless blogs that have beautiful graphics and resource, but the writing? I’ll pass.
Find your community: Probably one of the most important things I’ve learned. Surround yourself with bad people and you will have a bad time. Find the right people? Buddy I promise you’ll be having a ball.
Other people’s perception of you does not define you: Another really important thing I’ve learned. Every single person you meet will see you differently than the last, and it will always never be how you actually are. These people only see a screen and words, how can you expect them to see everything you are?
Everything is okay: And that’s it. Everything is fine. Your brain might be running itself all up but when it comes to the facts- you’re okay.
