"he can't tell the coroner" for WIP Wednesday please!
Matt: You don’t have to--
Skull (taking a deep, deep breath, and closing his eyes on the exhale): I know, but I really do need to get this out. Bulk doesn’t know, and I know it’s not good for me. It’s just that... After getting called in to look at four dead teen girls and thinking each time it was gonna be her, only to find two people I’ve never met, one girl I’d seen around the Juice Bar, and one girl that used to be in our sixth grade music class--when she showed up out of the blue, perfectly fine, looking as good as she ever had... I was so happy. And then a little angry--and then she just...changed into herself. And then I was in total shock when she asked me to go to her home planet, leave everything behind because she says she cared about me--
(Pause. Deep pause with something cold and black at the edges)
Skull: She told me I was never a part of her mission, but that she did care about me. But she left so many strings just...hanging...when she went away to blow in the wind. As far as Angel Grove’s police department and school board and missing persons and the fucking coroners are concerned, "Candice Clark" is just a regular girl that was on transfer from out of the country, that went missing during an alien invasion. Because there is literally nobody that would believe that one of those aliens that turned out to be on our side--an extremely high ranking military official that was sent to spy on this planet--was not only pretending to be a teenager, but even went so far as to date a piece of trash like me. And even if there was a tiny snowball’s chance in hell they did believe that, I don’t have any proof. And because I don’t have any proof that she’s alive, now I have to live with people calling me to say they might have found her dead. And I have to keep going to see the bodies and pretend I don’t know this is yet another human I may or may not have met... She did that to me. She told me she cared about me, but she left me with this mess... How am I ever supposed to trust my next partner won’t hurt me like that? Or with my luck, hurt me even worse?
he can’t tell the coroner and missing persons you’re an alien you stupid bitch for the WIP Game please? :D
(Maybe add in a memory of something viscerally disturbing like the smell of blood in a sink, a body under a sheet with red forming in blotches where the head and left arm were, the droning of the police in the hallway speaking on their radio while the lab assistant readied to remove the sheet from the body.)
Billy (softly disbelieving and feeling a knot in his stomach): ...I’m sorry, what?
Skull (shrinking a little into himself as Matt gently settles a hand on his shoulder, trying to be supportive without putting on more pressure): There’s...There’s always the chance that someone gets hurt a monster fight, even if they avoid a melee with putties or Goldar. The Rangers are really good at their jobs, but they can’t be everywhere, all the time, all at once. Casualties exist in any kaiju battle--and even just...life. Accidents, cars driving too fast, brain or heart issues. The woman that took my report for Candice...for Zelya...really tried to make that clear when I went to the police.

@augment-techs @gayferret420 @ajgrey9647 @ineedsomesleeptoday I NEED y'all to do this
One of the 3%. Why am I not surprised.
find the ending ost to Wolf Children for the lyrics for WIP Wednesday please
'He feels way too light,' kept smoothing over his brain like an ear-worm from some commercial jingle on the radio.
And they had just come back from a class ski trip. Everyone was wearing puffy or fine layers of coats and leggings and insulation, boots to keep their toes warm and hats to keep the chill away from their ears.
Skull himself was no exception, though the coat he wore looked more appropriate for New York Yuppie attire from the 1980s than snowboarding--a vintage cashmere with a real rabbit fur shawl collar, the whole of it thick black and down to his knees. The leggings were simple jeans that felt like they were way too thin, but the boots were extremely heavy and appropriately spiked along the bottom to make it so he was one of the only ones in the group that didn't skim down stairs or slide on patches of ice the whole trip.
FOR WIP WEDNESDAY: find the ending ost to Wolf Children for the lyrics
And the hat he wore was a simple black, chunky cable knit that from simple observation of the wear and extra addition of a little orange pumpkin and white bunny along one side hiding his ear, Billy could guess Skull had made himself--along with the hat that Bulk was wearing on the other side of the aisle as he dozed in and out of consciousness in his puffy purple jacket that Kim's head occasionally lolled over to. The Pink Ranger was snug between Bulk and Tommy and each boy had blinked over at each other and come to an agreement not to disturb her when it seemed she was basically at the mercy of the train's motion in sleep.
Speaking of being at the mercy of the train...
Billy carefully slid Skull's feet back over from the edge of the seat, adjusting them so that he remained comfortable and asleep as they hit another swift turn in the line, his other arm stretching out to brace against the guard board like Skull's very own kind of seatbelt.
You did your WIP Wednesday post exactly right! If you want to help enrich the process for other writers, you can also go into the notes of the post and send asks to the other authors who reblogged the post (that's how I found you!)
As for my request, 3 sentences for it's probably the king regent X ex-slave/gladiator one, if you please :)
Ahh, okay, now I get it. Thank you~

I think you like beetles. no specific kind just beetles. Is this based off that I assume there's a beetle in your pfp maybe? but ive also been reading your name as "product of fartuial", and just recently realised its "product of a ritual", so I could be wrong.

Okay I *must* know about this CATS (Javelia cracc) for WIP Wednesday!
Abskmdnsmdfjdmej OKAY SO it’s quite literally “Javi lands up in a dumpster and finds a cat who adopts him” level CRACC
And here’s a sneak peek :3
She poked her head out of the kitchen door once more and grinned, “long story short, Javi rode, Javi fell, Javi found cat, cat liked Javi, we brought cat home”
“Nawww” Javi whined, “that’s not fun. That’s like not fun at all. Let me continue”
“No”
“yes.”
“No, Javi, I got the gist of it” Izzy rolled her eyes, because she knew if she let Javi continue with the story, it was going to take another few years to finish it.
“Come on, Iz… let the man tell his story” Fern, forever supportive, walked in, holding the cat in her hands while the cat looked extremely puzzled. Fern set the cat down on Izzy’s lap, immediately eliciting a panic response from the little animal, and seconds later, the cat was five feet in the air, a scratch mark was on Izzy Garcia’s cheek and Javi was on his feet, trying to catch Mr. Meow Meow.
Javi could not catch Mr. Meow Meow.
The cat landed on the black rug and immediately camouflaged in. Neither of the three adults in the room could spot him, and they were all looking.
Javi closed his eyes, “never mind, actually, he’ll turn up. We’ve lost him on this rug at least eight times since this morning. It’s a thing—“
“Alright.” Izzy looked annoyed, possibly at not being accepted by the cat, “go on.
I… do not have a name for the cat yet, so the placeholder is “Mr. Meow Meow” and—

And let's do some CalPresto too because that snippet was really cute!
Teeheehee THANK YOU!! About the fic: it’s basically them bring lab partners (i think that eas self explanatory— but Calvin setting things on fire is FUN)
SNIPPET TIME!!!
Finally, his eyes landed on the boy in the light blue lab coat— he always used an excess of liquied blue on his whites to give them a blueish tinge without people objecting to it, while Calvin himself refused to use any of that chemical on his clothes, so his own lab coat, in contrast to Preston’s, always looked a little yellowish.
Calvin loved every single little thing about Preston.
And all the little things the boy did in the lab only endeared him even more to him.
Because Calvin had no idea what even the C in chemistry stood for, and he was more or less hopeless.
Calvin sought Preston from amidst the mass of white lab coats floating about the brightly lit room, and plopped down next to where he was standing, on the floor, tired.
“Did you know the kid from across our station set the entire slab ablaze???” He mumbled like it was some pristine gossip, Preston laughed, “I thought that was you—“
Calvin flushed at being caught, in a way, “nOoO— I only burnt my wire gauze—“
Preston laughed, pouring liquid ammonium hydroxide into his apparatus to clean it while eyeing Calvin sliding further back against the wall, “Sure, buddy. Sure”

Requesting Fireworks for the Dead #4 for the WIP Wednesday game please
AGAJDJSJDJS THANK YOU FOR THIS this fic my angsty beloved 😭✨
So it’s basically the fourth instalment of this one particularly dark fic, but I’ll send in a less angsty??
Sneak peek!!!
“It took me a little time to adjust too— but trust me, Amelia, it’ll help.” The tenderness on Javi’s face as he sat on his haunches by Amelia’s bed, holding her hand, melted her. She smiled softly at him and then tried to focus on her legs.
She was wearing a pair of bright pink shorts, the remainder of her legs bare. He had his human hand caressing what remained of her calf, gently, fingers tracing along the red-brown scars that streaked her previously smooth skin.
No matter how much she tried to focus, she felt like it would be way too hard to walk. She did not remember how to walk. How had she learnt to walk in the first place? How were these new prosthetic joints even supposed to move?
He perhaps saw the pain in her eyes, because he stood up and extended his arms towards her, opening for an embrace. Amelia stared at him for a few moments, bleary eyed, then reached forward to join their bodies, hugging him close, as she knew what he’d try to do next.
He applied force, just a little bit of it, pulling her up, and she let her hips go, letting his body take the weight of hers, and bring her to stand on her feet. She knew she’d fall again, if he let her go, but he was patient. He did not let go, he just buried his face in her hair, comforting her, his fingers rubbing circles on her back, and gently whispered to her, “I’m going to move one step back, okay? The prosthetics are synced with your mind. They will move the way you tell them to, so just take one step forward with me, okay?”
“Mmhmm” she hummed, closing her eyes.
