livio

netbook · overflow

  
      Powers nerfed & gained
    Self-healing: Nerfed on arrival from near-instant to delayed by a few minutes. Think 5-10.
Superhuman strength: Nerfed on arrival. Still super strong, but not to the same extent.
Dragon Blessing - Strength: Makes up for original nerf. Plus dual sets of horns, one pair curved down to frame his face, one pair curved back and up. Sharp and harshly angled, like his sunburst tattoos.
Dragon Blessing - Balance: Thick, alligator-like tail.

      Deaths & Resurrection prices
    Death - August 2024: Killed by a Corrupted Vash.

Price: Marksmanship skill. Can no longer aim a gun worth a damn. 

      Other permanent changes
    Memory Loss - February 2024: In Razlo's heartspace, his memory of Chapel defending him to the other Masters was destroyed. He still recalls having been fiercely loyal to Chapel, but not why.
Scarring - March 2024: Scars in an enormous jaw pattern spanning from his thighs to upper arm, with teeth marks along both his chest and back.

      Temporary changes
    Hydra form - May 2025: from Event/TDM 24. A bunch of fungi made LR into some fun guys.

  
    CODE
  

weasel's note: livio's handwriting is extremely neat and uncannily consistent. every letter is always the same exact size and shape. as if simply writing perfectly in times new roman was a humanly possible thing.

livio can commonly be found where he lives at vash's house or looking after the school.

[puffs his cheeks out.]

What if I brag about you first?

[his brows turn up as he smiles, sheepish.]

... Mine've been awkward, yeah. Lotsa dancin' around. Shoot, I nearly had a meltdown when Nick confessed. Thought he was leavin' Vash on a whim for my sorry ass...

Wow~. Did Nikolaus ever tell you how he tried to confess to me?

[Oh no—]

He kissed me in the church, touched my wings, and then said "I can't do it right now". I almost killed him~. [Ain.] He made it up to me two weeks later by giving me gifts, though. You cannot possibly fuck anything up worse than that, I'm pretty sure.

[his smile is fond, if a bit pained, as ain tells what livio is sure is a clipped version of the story. his arms squeeze around ain ever so slightly -- not tight, just closer.]

Sounds like him fer sure.

The way we were trained... Showin' vulnerability's hard. Even having, much less admittin' to having emotions is hard. 'm sure he's told ya as much.

But still... I think he's come a long way. He's tryin' real hard.

[It's incredibly chipped. Ain is leaving out a lot of things for the sake of the point. To be fair, the point is there! He's just skipping over why the wing touching is significant and what the gifts were (pyjamas) (and a dress and a skirt) (the pyjamas are most important though okay).]

Mm... I get it. You guys remind me a lot of some members of the El Search Party, trust me. I think it's why I'm so fond of you all. Livio, you're like... mm... wow, this won't make much sense to you since you don't know him, but you're almost exactly like Mr. Half-Nasod, except so far you're better at admitting you like men.

[Ainchase Ishmael—]

You're both big teddy-bear types, and very sweet, but also very serious when you need to be. [And also good at killing but Ain has chardev'd himself into enough tact to Not say that part.] And tall! But he's shorter than you, somehow.

Nikolaus reminds me of Mr. Ancient~ you had a Mr. Ancient here but that one was a doctor. My Mr. Ancient is just like Nikolaus and has no medical experience, and would punch people for one cornchip. Just~ like~ him! Haha~.

[Do you have to sing out every single word you say today]

[okay, he... laughs. a genuine, hearty laugh.]

Maybe he just needs time? Hell, before I got here, I didn't think I liked anyone. [more like chapel would have shot him in the groin if he even thought about romance or sex, but that's neither here nor there.

at the mention of add, he sobers back up a little. he hadn't appreciated the guy trying to steal his blood, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten add did his best to save wolfwood at the bonfire. it wasn't his fault the serum worked so fast.]

Kinda weird to think about him bein' so different from what I knew. Not that I knew him too well... Y'really think they're alike?

[Y'all got Doctor Add and meanwhile the one Ain knows is the one that punches lightning and takes steroids, I wish I was lying. Ain would not have liked the good doctor very much, he prefers his testosterone-addled moron.]

Oh, almost to the letter. The only difference is that Nikolaus has a big gun and doesn't punch lightning or play with machine parts all day. I don't understand complicated stuff like that.

[Nor will he try, considering he barely understands like, the government. And why they have to have money for everything. And why he can't just Take things that he wants, which relates to the money thing.]

You'd like my friends, I think. ...probably. You guys would fit right in~! We even have a country that's got a lot of sand, just like you're used to, in case you missed having sand in your shoes.

[livio's smile is soft and fond as ain describes his friends and a bit of his world. there's still so much they have to learn about each other. it's... exciting, in a way.]

I've liked all o' you well enough.

Y'know... can't say I wouldn't prefer the beach 'n the water. But... there are things I miss. [hopeland. but he'd still miss it even if he was back on no man's land.] The suns, the moons. The stars're different, too. I never really stopped to appreciate 'em before... [he deflates a little, smile fading.] ... I haven't really thought about it, but I'll never get to see 'em again.

Edited 2025-02-06 12:20 (UTC)

[Just you wait until Ain shows you his collection of cringe-ass plushies of his friends that he got from Ydalir this month because hoo boy he's a MESS right now.]

Aww... I understand. I think we'll figure out a way to get back one day. [He nuzzles right against Livio's cheek, like a cat, and then gives him a little peck.] Do you have constellations you like? Maybe we can try to recreate some of them here, later tonight?

[oh... right. vash and nick are the only ones livio has told that he believes he was killed back home. the thought sobers him quickly, wiping away the last trace of any smile, and his gaze suddenly darts away from ain.]

I couldn't name any if ya had me at gunpoint, honestly.

... Would y'think me rude if I had to go? I'm real glad we figured this out, but... I oughta check on Vash. I think he's takin' it real bad.

[Poor Liv...]

Not at all. Actually... I'm sorry I didn't get to comfort you more, haha. I didn't mean to make it all about me.

[Ain's got Livio trapped in this booth, though, so he'll get up and let him slide out of it.]

If you guys need anything, you know where I am, okay?

[he shakes his head, kissing ain's temple.]

Nothin' to apologize for. I was avoidin' it, but I appreciate you tryin' so, so much.

[following suit, he stands, and makes the effort to take ain's hand tenderly in his and bring it up to his lips for a kiss.]

I'd like to still take you up on makin' our own constellations, sometime, if you're willin'.

[Ope, there he goes, twirling his braid around his finger and giggling. God dammit.]

Yeah, anytime you want. My room here is upstairs, on the west-facing side, so just walk around the back and shout for me. I'll be there waiting.

Alright, angel, I will. Lookin' forward to it.

[welcome to petname central, ain. also to a good-night cheek kiss.

also also to livio being so socially stunted that he doesn't see any issue with just dropping this. they're together, after all.]

G'night, Ain. Love you.

[waves!! bye ain, have fun with that!]

[ain's just gonna stand there looking like This for a solid 60 seconds thanks liv (he'll tell liv he loves him too next time they meet up)]
