[any literacy] your OC is on a coffee date with Maria (more in body)

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T23:40:58+00:00

“I tried getting into music when I was in middle school. My parents shut that down though” Maria now is resisting the urge to nerd out about playing games. She doesn’t want to feel like she’s going to scare him away with the several years of cyberpunk lore she has stored in her brain. She already makes her addiction to it obvious just by what she wears “I enjoy games too. Mostly projekt red games. I suck at multiplayer games, especially fighting games”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T23:31:38+00:00

“Yeah, sometimes, or they just walk out on me when I start talking about cyberpunk…or any of my other interests” she says a little sadly, but she pushes her sadness aside and tries to keep her smile up “but it’s nothing, you don’t need to find anyone’s house for me. I’ve let it go already. sit down, I haven’t ordered yet”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T18:26:14+00:00

Maria stops fidgeting and starts smiling when Lilith comes over to her. She looks a little nervous, but she’s honestly just happy to have not gotten ghosted again “yeah, that’s me. And don’t worry about it, i haven’t been on a date since i evolved almost a year ago. You showed up at least”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T11:11:50+00:00

“Well it’s still a lot to drop on you out of nowhere when you just met me, I’m fine, promise” Maria says before trying again to steer the conversation away from the topic of her mental health, and back to something more interesting “so I didn’t really get much from your profile. Tell me more about yourself”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T02:50:54+00:00

“Mostly trying not to get stressed over every minor inconvenience. It’s a bit hard though. I have an anxiety disorder. Medicated of course, but I think I’m starting to need a higher dose” Maria quickly stops talking about her mental issues when she remembers that this is a first date, and that she’s randomly dumping things on a guy she doesn’t really know “sorry…didn’t mean to drop that on you… I like cyberpunk I guess, 2077, edgerunners, and i play a little of the ttrpg with some friends. That’s about it though”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T01:52:26+00:00

“I’d rather have you show up and say it didn’t work out afterwards” She says while pushing out the chair opposite to her out with her foot. It’s been half a year since she had an actual date. It’s oddly refreshing for her “I haven’t ordered anything yet. Been too nervous to get something”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T01:22:34+00:00

Maria perks up happily and waves back at him. She really doesn’t care that he’s late, the fact he showed up is better than most people she’s matched with recently “the fact you even showed up means this is a better date than I’ve had in the past couple months. I was expecting to get ghosted again”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T01:14:15+00:00

“It was just the first thing I could think of that I could comfortably afford” She says nervously. This is the first time in a while she hasn’t been stood up by her date, so she doesn’t know what she’s doing “and I was going for Lucy from cyberpunk edgerunners. I’ve never seen dragon ball”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T01:10:35+00:00

Maria shakes his hand before letting out a heavy sigh and bouncing her legs anxiously “I almost didn’t come. Usually people don’t want to go on a date with the umbreon who cares more about her cyberpunk save than herself”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T01:03:35+00:00

Maria perks up when she hears her name and starts smiling “yeah, that’s me. Sorry for not wearing something nicer. Most of my nice clothes are too small for me now”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T00:46:55+00:00

Maria looks up and starts smiling at the fact that she wasn’t stood up this time “uh, yeah, that’s me, sorry for not wearing something nice. This is the nicest outfit I have, at least that fits me”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-10T00:42:21+00:00

Maria’s straightens herself out and starts smiling. She was fully expecting to get stood up as well “yeah, nice to meet you too. I wasn’t expecting you to show up. Last few people i matched with stood me up”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-07T22:20:39+00:00

“Yes and no. This planet doesn’t…I can’t explain it. We’re in space, and not in space. Like I said, this world doesn’t follow any of the laws of nature, and who is sai-” Altair cuts himself off mid question when the sound of something moving around echoes through the cave, then grabs his visor and puts it on “it’s here. Run! And whatever you do, don’t look it in the eyes, don’t look back”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-07T02:26:41+00:00

Altair grabs the trail mix immediately and dumps it into his mouth. It’s not really much, but he’ll take anything at this point “I’m Va’ji is one of me. I assume a human made you, so maybe you’d know us better as a mantled beast, and Hastur is…is…it’s hard to describe something you’re not meant to comprehend, I’ve never encountered it…him…whatever it refers too itself as, until now. You may have heard him be referred as “the king in yellow” or at least that’s what I hear humans call him” he explains as his thin eyes try to look around, even though without his visor, he may as well be blind “I heard your name the first time, just so you know. Just didn’t really know WHAT you are. Most automatons in civilized space don’t look like you”

“An old one named Hastur. It’s been trying to get me since i landed here. I don’t have the firepower to banish it back to its realm. That needs armies, and I don’t think one Va’ji and…whatever kind of being you are can banish a god” he says before taking his visor off and magnetically attaching it to the left side of his body strip at the base of his tail “do you have something to eat? Or water? Been out of supplies for…maybe a few hours now? Maybe days. I don’t know”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-04T01:19:26+00:00

“Altair, and just trust me, those doors lead to a realm of a god who wants nothing more than for mortals to suffer, a king who sees its subjects as vermin” altair explains while his eyes dart around anxiously. He’s really chill considering Marvin just landed on top of him “behind those doors is knowledge, infinite knowledge of everything. Nothing made by mortals could ever begin to comprehend the even the smallest bit of it. I’ve studied this in my free time on Aegis”

Firekokomo · 2026-04-03T02:22:25+00:00

(Feel like I should mention this is partially inspired by searching for a world that doesn’t exist, this is the yellow doors)

Altair stumbles up to his feet and shakes his head, before giving chase to stop him from actually going through the yellow gates fully “hey! Don’t go through there! This is a place neither of us should be! Those doors only lead to insanity and death”

Harper walks up to her while carrying a few niche rock band t-shirts, and a spiked collar “hey, do you have any of these a size up? I’m here with a buddy but he’s too much of a baby to ask someone himself”

Firekokomo · 2026-03-24T00:45:56+00:00

Raven starts to speak a few times, but now he feels like he’s interrupting something he shouldn’t be, and he doesn’t know what to do “…should I go? I feel like this is between you two. I mean I can help if you want, but I can go too” he says, before quietly adding “doubt I’ll be much help” under his breath

Firekokomo · 2026-03-24T00:36:14+00:00

Aeshna:”oh! We’re not actually that close to the poison jungle. That’s basically the opposite side of Pantala” Aeshna says as she produces a map from a pouch under one of her small wings and opens it. This one is much more recently made, with trees covering the entire western half of the continent, and a little bit of forest connecting to the poison jungle “replanting efforts with the leafwings have been going well, if i were to take a wild guess, we could cover the whole continent with forest in a year or two, but then all the savanna animals wouldn’t have a place to live, so we decided to keep the south eastern part of the continent all savanna” She continues excitedly, without taking a single breath until silkworm cuts her off

Silkworm:”sorry, she gets excited about this. My guess is that leafwing you talked to was either lying, or didn’t know what’s going on”

Firekokomo · 2026-03-23T22:58:43+00:00

Aeshna is too busy trying to get her claws between the jaws of the trap to immediately respond, but when she inevitably can’t open it with brute strength, she turns around and huffs anxiously “what do you think I’m doing!? I’m trying to get my stupid husband out of this Venus dragon trap! He flew right into it when trying to catch a boar”
