[Obligatory Critter here. Prior players preferred but some discussion first if not]

[I'm always interested in the implications and complication that would come of someone in his line of work having a Soulmate. That's the kind of nice meaty worldbuilding I like to play with.]

[Honestly I'm curious how this would work in-universe. Do the 'bots manifest a mark when they're activated? Is it something else so it's not as easy to tell they're not actually human? Do they always just feel like they're lacking something?]

[Pretty sure anything goes, honestly. I'm always down for platonic-type soulmates.]

[I'm down for shenanigans, perpetual favorite is the writing on the arm transfers to the soulmate (ditto injuries etc.) but let's get weird with it.]

[He and Charles have absolutely become each other's soulmates, but I'm also here for platonic soulmates of whatever sort, not everything is forever, sometimes you're just there to help someone along the way.
He and Charles suddenly becoming soul-bound is also something to consider, if only for how it could make things complicated.]

[I'm a sucker for writing on the arm showing up on the soulmate (same goes for scars), also matching tattoos/marks. But I'm open to most types, including platonic soulmates. No Billy, Jason or the kids, please.]

[I'd love to figure out how soulmates work in her universe, honestly, because for the Killjoys that could be something dangerous (easier to get someone back under control if you can threaten their soulmate) and could easily lead to potential suicide missions to rescue soulmates who are still in the City. All sorts of fun stuff!]

Also available as a dude at

ccunningham if preferred, just let me know.]

[I'm a sucker for writing on the arm showing up on the soulmate (same goes for scars), also matching tattoos/marks, and for this guy especially: the song you're listening to gets stuck in your soulmate's head.
But I'm open to most types, including platonic soulmates. No Billy, Jason or the kids, please.]

[I mean he's definitely Edwin's soulmate, but they might have forged that themselves, I'm always down for Complications™ like Charles' human soulmate still being alive (albeit aged now) or the soulmate link of whatever sort causing problems on a job etc.]

[It had been so long since the wolf started following Friede around, she almost didn't remember when it first started. She did remember it had been after her death and resurrection, after the bells of awakening had brought her out of her grave and back to the waking world, so many years after she had fallen at the Kiln.

The rest, though, she wasn't sure of. When she had traveled to Ariandel, there had been other wolves; hers was bigger than all but the largest of the native wolves of the painting. But what it was, more than that, was a rusty reddish color that implied it was not related to any of the ones in the painting. An enigma, but the wolf was quiet, unobtrusive, and loyal. Anywhere she went, it followed; she gave commands, and it obeyed like it could understand her words. It kept a wary eye on strangers, but would happily greet them if they proved not to be a threat - if they were a threat, it was all teeth. As it got on in years, she half expected it to eventually pass of old age, but it stayed long beyond the lifespan of a simple wolf. Though, in truth, she wasn't sure its eyesight was the best anymore, and so she stayed close to it, to guide it around anywhere unfamiliar. She had never really been so generous with anything before, but the wolf... she rather liked it.

Even if it never liked any of the people around her.

Things changed, though. One day, the wolf stood, and it stepped out of the chapel, and it howled a long and lonesome note that made the hair on the back of Friede's neck stand up. Vilhelm had stuck his head in the door and looked at her questioningly, but she had stood and followed the wolf. It was rare indeed the wolf had anything it wanted out of her, and so she figured it must be important.

The wolf led her on, and she followed, even past the bridge beyond the chapel and away from the Corvian settlement. It was only some time later, when she realized it was leading toward the boundary of Ariandel, that she paused, and frowned.

It turned, looked at her patiently, its amber-gold eyes, lightly cataracted in the back still fixated just on her. We have to go, it said, without words. She pressed her lips together, and stepped forward. She'd just return later, she reasoned. The wolf must be fulfilling its purpose. Whatever mysterious purpose it had when it showed up at her feet so long ago.

Outside the painting, it's... different. Obviously, the amount of time that had passed since she'd entered Ariandel had been rather generous, but the outside is so different, she isn't sure the painting hasn't changed hands at least so many times that she doesn't recognize any of it for what it is.

The wolf, however, still seems to know where it is going. Where it wants her to be. She doesn't realize it's putting her on a collision course with Malenia until some days later, when the wolf half-sightedly climbs atop a rock in the icy snowfield they're in, points nose to the heavens, and howls that long, lonely note again.

Friede grips her scythe more tightly, and eyes the wolf. That sound was sure to attract attention for miles around, and though she is very prepared to fight if she needs to... she would rather not.

Surely enough, the sound - or maybe it was just circumstance - seems to have attracted attention, as around one of the massive trunks of an old, dead, petrified tree steps a rather enormous woman... and a contingent of knights that immediately puts Friede both on edge and

something else. All at once.

She's beautiful.]

[ Malenia is absolutely exhausted after the long march from Liurnia to meet with Radahn, who seemed a touch disheartened to find Caria in such a dismal state. While normally Malenia would have felt a touch of sympathy for him, the way he'd been acting over the course of many years had her more relieved that his somber mood made him easier to deal with.

Things had gone fairly smooth thereafter, Radahn supposedly made it into Raya Lucaria to see his mother and sister and Malenia turned her soldiers around to head back toward Elphael. After days of walking, ignoring the strange itch she had to drop in to see her mother and father, and making it through the blizzard that was treacherous on a good day, they were finally nearing the town of Ordina.

Just as she began feeling the relief associated with crossing the threshold of the remaining leg of their journey, that long, baleful howl pieces the relative silence, catching all of their attention. With a soft sigh, Malenia turns toward the sound. ]

One of the albnaurics must be injured... Let us go investigate.

[ With silent exasperation, the group marches on toward the sound. Even as tired as they are, she won't leave one of the archer women injured and exposed.

It's only when one of her knights murmurs, "Wait... That's not an albinauric." that she stops and grips her sword. ]

Who's there? Are you here seeking refuge?
