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.

[Sorry Vash but you've got to admit, you worded that terribly right out the gate. But now that Vash is correcting himself and clarifying, Wolfwood is sitting back and wiping water off his chin as he sets his glass aside.]

Jesus, maybe lead with that next time, yeah?

[He looked so nervous it was easy to assume he WANTED to be like "hey let's break up lol". Instead...

Wolfwood shifts in his seat a little, looking from Livio to Vash and back.]

I mean. Look. S'long as you two don't plan on leavin' me, you can do what makes you happy. And if that's kissin' other folks, then that's fine. I can't say I see myself doin' the same thing since I really just want you two, but...I dunno. Who knows.

[~who knows~ indeed Mr. unintentionally flirting with like five people rn including his actual bfs

...then, he adds:]

Not. That I'm sayin' you have to be stuck with me forever. I just...I ain't really plannin' on stoppin' that any time soon, y'feel me.

[livlaughlove]

[oh. livio's shoulders slacken as everything becomes clear. even more so when wolfwood approves of it so easily -- it makes livio feel less weird for being okay with it, himself.]

I think anything that makes y'happy is worth pursuin', Vash. So don't let us hold y'back. Just... yeah. Kiss us, sometimes, too.

[oleaeuropaea]

Aw, Liv... [He tiptoes over to him, leans up on his toes, and presses a very chaste kiss to his cheek.] I'm not going anywhere. Always plenty of kisses for you.

[And then he pitter-patters over to Wolfwood. He takes that scruffy face into his hands, angling his head upward so that they're staring into one another's eyes.]

And you. I know we've had our - trouble. But this is where I want to be. Honest.

[And a sweet little kiss on the nose for him!]

[lupusxylem]

[GAY. Ur gay.]

Yeah yeah. I figured. Jus' always nice hearin' it from your mouth, s'all.

[The nose kiss makes him scrunch up his face, and just for that, he'll lean in to steal a kiss from Vash proper before he can actually pull away in time.]

How did this all come about, exactly?

[livlaughlove]

[just. blinks sweetly at wolfwood.]

Babe, he just said he's got a crush on Mr. Pure Vanilla Cookie. [who could blame him, though. pv is as sweet as... well! a cookie!]

[oleaeuropaea]

I mean, yeah that's... pretty much it.

[Don't mind him, hunkering down. His cheeks are bright red, while his ears are tinging a faint shade of pink. He's flustered!!]

If y'wanna get specific, I think I really realized it when we all played spin the bottle. We kissed a little and I liked it uh. More than usual!

flavor

[livlaughlove]

[ooh, shy vash! so tempting! livio swoops right in to peck at his temple and his cheek. get loved, idiot.

... livio is gonna go all red, too, though, and settle back down in his chair. nothing to say about how nice it felt to smooch certain people. nope. nuh-uh.]

[lupusxylem]

Hah. Well, m'glad you enjoyed yourself, Spikey. People were, uh. Sure kissin' a lot durin' that...

[And if Wolfwood's turning a bit of a darker shade too talking about this, no he isn't.]

Does he...know? Or...

[Because while Wolfwood hasn't spoken to Pure Vanilla since his accident, and not really to Cacao at all...he's Seen those two, he knows those cookies are fuckin.]

[oleaeuropaea]

Not yet? Not really?

[Vash worries his fingers some more. His brow pinches in the slightest. Was there a chance that he could be rejected? Absolutely. Here he was getting his hopes up, when Pure Vanilla was clearly content with his own partners.]

I mean. We kissed, right? That has to mean something, even if it was just a game...?

[The longer he speaks, the more downtrodden he sounds.]

[livlaughlove]

[... okay. maybe livio will acknowledge that every single one of them seems to be flustered talking about this. only because it's all of them. only because he doesn't want vash to spiral.]

Just speculatin' about it won't do any good, if y'get wrapped up in the worst case in your head. Y'should talk to him, Vash.

[lupusxylem]

Liv's right. You ain't gettin' nowhere by assumin'. And judging by what know about that guy...he's not gonna know otherwise.

[He's a little flighty. Especially when it comes to intimacy. He saw the guy headbutt people who kissed him during that game, and all.]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Excuse you, Pure Vanilla's headbutts are the BEST how dare you. They're Vash's favorite thing.]

I should... probably do that. But it's scary!!! What if he... y'know...

[The saddest of shrugs.]

[livlaughlove]

[oh, vash... livio rests a hand ever so lightly on his shoulder and gives him the softest smile he can muster.]

Or what if he... y'know... adores you, like we do?

[lupusxylem]

Yeah. S'that somethin' you're willin' to miss out on? Didn't stop you from tryin' with us.

[WELL. This is also disregarding how much feet-dragging it took them to get to this point, but still.]

[oleaeuropaea]

I mean maybe he does, but ...

[Okay Wolfwood might be disregarding it but -]

But think about it! Think about how long it took me to say anything to you two? Hm?

[But they both have a good point.]

I promise I'll try. And I'll let you both know.

[livlaughlove]

No pressure from us. Just... remember that we want you t'be happy, Vash. At your own pace.

[lupusxylem]

Even if that pace is the speed of a glacier.

[Wolfwood-]

gag but not actually a gag. he would.

[livlaughlove]

What's a glacier?

[oleaeuropaea]

[Opens his mouth. Closes his mouth.]

Let's just enjoy breakfast, eh?

[lupusxylem]

[Wolfwood snorts, leaning back in his chair.]

Before it gets cold, yeah. Or before someone decides t'eat it all before we can get any.

[livlaughlove]

[vash and wolfwood both silently like "don't worry about it" and livio trusts them so he :) and, yes, eats vash's hard work before it's too cold.]
