[quote]Markus Tintreach is shobr0's character in his fanfic "The Darkest Light", his first chapter is here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/179313570[/quote] ____________________________ "Huh..." Markus pouted, carrying multiple bags of groceries throughout the Tower. "I can't believe I got stuck with errand-duty..." He complained to himself, normally he loved being up and about, but not when he had to run [i]errands[/i]. "They cheated anyway!" He convinced himself as to why he had to run errands for his team in the first place. But while he was distracted engaging in a conversation with himself, an uprooted floor tile nearly tripped Markus over. "GAH!" Markus exclaimed, trying to keeps the bags-- and himself-- from falling. Success. "Phew." Markus huffed, setting down the bags-- whose weight was feeling heavier than it had when he'd first gotten them-- and took a stretch. The sooner this was over, the sooner he'd be able to head out to the Moon. "[i]Buddy[/i], you're in the way!" Someone barked behind Markus, making him jump slightly. "In [b]my[/b] way!" The male voice added. "Ah, sorry." Markus apologized as he picked up his bags and turned around to meet the seemingly aggressive person, only to be met by two [i]other[/i] Guardians as well. A Warlock and a Titan. "He was just stretching Hunt', just relax~!" The Titan said to the Hunter, Markus looked at the Titan, and judging by how gently the Titan talked to the Hunter, he was [i]obviously[/i] the his sidekick... or other. "Ooooooooh, 'just relaaaaaax'." The Hunter mocked the Titan, placing a hand on his hip. "If you're gonna stretch, bein' in the middle of the Tower ain't the place to go about it!" "Ugh." The Warlock in the group scoffed, which Markus couldn't tell was a male or a female until they spoke. "Honestly Hunter, you [i]always[/i] do this." [i]Definitely a female.[/i] Markus thought to himself. "Just leave him be, and let us go around him and be on our way." Markus finally decided to talk to end what would probably end in an altercation. "Oh hey, heh, my name's Markus!" He introduced himself happily, "Markus Tintreach." He finished, setting down the bags on his right arm to hold out his hand to the Hunter. "Ohhhhh yeah?" The Hunter said in a mocking amazed voice. "And [i]I'm[/i] the guy who didn't ask. Now quit your yappin' and shove off." He said dismissively before placing a hand on Markus' chest to move him away himself, but not before jerking his hand away from a sudden electric shock. "OW. [b]DUDE.[/b]" The Hunter growled, holding his hand. "Oh wait, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!" Markus profusely apologized before setting down both his bags to walk towards the Hunter. "That just happens sometimes--" "NONONONONO--" The Hunter rapidly denied Markus from coming any closer to him, secretly afraid of getting anymore shocks. "Forget it, we'll just go around!" He muttered, as he and his teammates went around him. "Have a great morning!" The Titan looked behind himself and waved at Markus as the trio walked away. Markus huffed slightly and looked back down at his bags. Although an altercation was prevented-- unwittingly-- he [i]still[/i] wished he could've given the Hunter a proper apology. Markus bent over to pick up the bags again. "Oh well, better get these ba--" "[i]Psst...[/i]" A voice called Markus quietly. "[i]Hey, come over here...[/i]" "Huh?" Markus picked up his head, trying to spot the source of the voice. "[i]Psssssssst[/i]." The voice repeated. "[i]Over heeeeeere...[/i]" Markus, although confused, picked up his bags and followed the voice, until he had reached a stack of crates, where a Sweeper Bot swept monotonously. "[i]You're getting warmeeeeer...[/i]" The voice encouraged Markus. Markus tentatively crept towards the crates, in case it was a trap, or worse. Finally, he looked behind the crates, to find a female Warlock tucked behind them. "Hi! My name's Cosm0, and [i]you're[/i] gonna help me get [b]married[/b]!" She introduced herself. "Whaaaaaaa--?" ____________________________ "M-married?" Markus stuttered in pure disbelief. "To [i]whom[/i]?!" Cosm0 hopped out from behind the crates. "You saw him~." She said vaguely. "I've been watching him [i]forever[/i]~!" She clasped her hands together and let out a fangirling dreamy sigh. "He's the perfect man to marry!" "Really, what's he like?" Markus asked her. "Oh wow! Well, how do you describe [i]perfection[/i]~?" Cosm0 said, about to delve into her vision of her perfect husband. "Stately-- masculine figure! Handsome beyond all belief~!" She began. [i]Oh boy.[/i] Markus thought. "He charms the birds from the trees and everything in between~!" Cosm0 continued. "His smile would melt you like an ice cube victimized by a Sunsinger's Radiance~!" "Wow." Markus breathed, this guy [i]did[/i] sound perfect. "Is he smart?" He asked her. "'[i]Smart[/i]'?" Cosm0 echoed as if Markus had asked the most ridiculous question [i]ever[/i]. "[i]Warlocks[/i] could learn from him!" She continued to praise her hopefully-soon-to-be husband. "His brilliance would blind you from twenty paces!" "Wow. Sounds perfect!" Markus exclaimed, and, although he didn't know [i]anybody[/i] who matched that description, he decided to take a guess. "Was it that Hunter?" "[b]What[/b]?" Cosm0 uttered in disbelief, unclasping her hands and shuddering disgustedly. "Ew, [b]no[/b]! It's--" "GUYS, I'LL CATCH UP!" A voice sounded from halls, that, if followed, would lead Guardians to the Speaker's Observatory and the New Monarchy faction. "Ohmigosh!" Cosm0 squeaked in panic. "Quick, behind the crates!" She briskly said before jumping behind them once more as Markus followed her lead. Peering from a crack spaced between the crates, the two Warlocks peered from it to see a Titan rush past. "I'M JUST GONNA GO GRAB SOME DOUGHNUTS!" The Titan shouted to his team that was left behind as he continued to run. "It's [i]hiiiiiiim~.[/i]" Cosm0 sighed, watching the Titan run until he was out of sight. "[i]Him[/i]?" Markus repeated. It was... That [i]Titan[/i]? [quote]Take 39...
