❖ ─ ━ ɩɴⅴеႽτɩնατοʀ If it takes for her hell and back, sore feet and all from going after this one particular person well-that was enough for her to go after especially when her interest in them has spark(like her partner perchance). Perseverance, patience and a tiny bit of kindness comes along way for the investigator.  She knows that she was replaceable even to the foundation, that if she were to die and disappear she wouldn’t be remembered much or even at all and….she was expandable just like the rest but if she could impact on someone of importance or to anyone at all that would be enough. ❝Don’t you think I already know that, to the foundation, I’m likely expandable and doesn’t mean much to them. I’m not anything like my partner and his instincts nor like Branch Head Kirigiri with her observance- I’m nothing like them however it does not mean that I’m willing to just walk behind either.  Not everyone is the same otherwise how boring would that be.❞ The blonde knows her fate by now, she was just her partners ‘side-kick’ however….he was someone special to her and that was enough to keep her going.  ❝Your asking me something that trivial? I’m persistent not because of my job, it’s because for a person like yourself-you caught my interest. My job as a SCI is dangerous however if your asking me if I would die for my job then no, I applied to the SCI so I can prevent the body count from rising….however if my path one day was forced to take up arms and kill then so be it.  ❞ She can’t be a pacifist forever, there would be a time one day where if she have to take up arms and kill so she can protect someone then she doesn’t care if her path is dyed red. Besides, I’ve lost someone once and I won’t let another slip past me. ❝I love my job however before that, I value those I’m close to so if I have to kill someone to protect them then so be it. The world is cruel, harsh and it bares its fangs to those who are ll be ill-prepared, if I don’t kill then I’ll be killed. That answer should be enough hopefully.❞

       “… interesting.”

      The single word wasn’t spoken unkindly – despite his obvious lack-of-interest in her words, he kept his focus on the girl who had followed him all the way here. For someone so remarkably unremarkable, she had some interesting thoughts. And she was willing to persist to the edge of a calamity to chase him here…

      A few more steps, a little way forward, and he’d cause a collapse here. They would both be sent downward through crumbling grounds into whatever remained of the emergency underground pathways. The sub tunnels and the side passages. If they were both lucky, they wouldn’t be crushed to death. ( L U C K Y, hmm? ) Again, Servant looks towards the cracks.

      “You know your worth, but you also know what you stand for. Little dogs shouldn’t have such loud barks.” His comment was spoken with some amount of frustration. It was his own personal belief that only ULTIMATES – only the truly G I F T E D deserved to be lifted up, and that everyone else? Served only to make those extraordinary few shines brighter. Being T A I N T E D by despair had hardly changed that. Instead, it had only served to reinforce that mindset. “It bothers me that you know you’re unremarkable, and yet you fancy yourself capable of making change – so? How about we make a bet, you and I?” With that, he takes a step backwards.

      The sounds of creaking with the additional weight – “If you come over here, if you can make it to me? I’ll let you arrest me.” He says, lifting his hands into the air. His gloved hand and his free one. “But – if you come over here, the ground will likely reach its limit. We’ll both go tumbling into what’s left of the subway tracks… and we’ll likely be crushed to death. But? If you live, I’ll keep my word. How about it? Want to test your luck?”

      The former ULTIMATE LUCKY STUDENT tilts his head ever-so-slightly to the side when he finishes talking. A curious expression reaching his pale jade eyes. His hands remained in the air, for now? It was a “MOCK-SURRENDER.” But, if she could truly make it to his side and survive, he’d give himself over. “Of course, you could just shoot me.”

      A hearty laugh escapes the dark-clad priest from his spot next to the ANGEL – amusement in his cynical eyes. “I don’t.” He responds, honestly. “But I do enjoy… encouraging others break the rules – I was asking for reference, so I know how long to keep you distracted.”

       It was a teasing banter from the older man. Clearly he knew the other was far past the age ( or the company ) to reinforce any sort of true curfew. Somehow he doubted that his corpse bodyguard doubled as an alarm clock of sorts. He was more then welcome to be proven wrong, but somehow, he just didn’t believe it offhand. However – that hadn’t kept the mischievous man from making the comment.

      It was funny – especially since they hadn’t seen each other in so long. “Imagine now, if I had approached you saying that line, though? Wouldn’t that have been especially funny?” He asks, lifting his glass back to his lips as his eyes drifted to the side. It was a funny thought. And, though he tended to MANIPULATE events to work out his way, the thought had only occurred to him now. ( … must be losing my touch. ) “Especially if I hadn’t recognized you at first~” A laugh escapes his lips then, humoring the idea as he nursed the drink in his hands.

      That comment was his little way of saying – I may have seriously meant the pick-up line. May have. Maybe.

      “Well, dear angel.” He pauses, shifting his gaze towards the blue-eyed young man. A smirk working it’s way to his thin lips. “You’ll find I have a preference for being the one to do the pinning, in most situations. It’s a nasty habit of mine, to need to come out on top.” Still flirting? Possibly. Who knows?

smiletorn:

She was getting nervous, despite telling herself that he would surely appear. Although he had confused her on their first meeting, what Yukimura-sama said at the Ten versus Ten matches before lingered on Isanami’s mind; despite what Sanada Nobuyuki came off as, he was a good person. Therefore, though she fidgeted in place at the gate, sounds of heavy footsteps had the FORMER priestess turning to greet the approaching person.

When his first words were, well, that ― she couldn’t help but smile. It was not like her past smiles that were bright and full of LIFE, but? It was the first time she had felt amused in such a long time.

Nonetheless, Isanami bows at her waist to the Lord. It felt good to see a familiar face, even when they were not that well acquainted. And seeing him gave her more hope that everyone else was still alive.  ❛ Nobuyuki-san. I’m sorry for this sudden intrusion. ❜ In fact, she had many things she needed to APOLOGIZE for. After everything that happened though, where could she start? She had so many questions… so many things she wished to ask of the person whom was her best lead right now. ❛ I’m… glad to see you are well. ❜

A bit of guilt TWISTS into her heart. She probably wouldn’t even need to ask that, had Izanami not inflicted so many wounds on him, using him as “bait”. She wondered if she was overstepping her bounds. She, who had caused so much grief in everyone’s lives, to be here and wanting information on them. ❛ If it would not trouble you… could we talk? I know I’m not your retainer or anything. You don’t owe me anything, in fact, I do owe you much more than what I could ever pay you back for. But… ❜

She tilts her head up, looking upon the stern older brother of the Sanada family with desperation. ❛ I don’t know what else I could do. Where else I could go. Ueda is gone and people say Yukimura-sama is dead and I don’t ― ❜ Her voice cracks and she cuts her words off IMMEDIATELY. She didn’t want to cry, not when she was already troubling Nobuyuki-san with her presence. ❛ I-I’m sorry. Please… give me a moment. ❜ The former priestess brought her sleeves up, pressing them at her face. Hah, even if she thought she had changed, being so prone to her emotions would probably stay with her forever.

      The ELDER Sanada simply stares at the other – dumbfounded by her sudden appearance after 10-YEARS. So much had happened in that time, so much had changed, and yet? Suddenly, a figure from the past appears at his doorstep. Someone who had been SEALED in the realm of the d e a d.

      Most would figure that would be the last time they would see someone. Even Izanagi hadn’t been successful in retrieving someone from YOMI, as she’d been far too changed. And that – was the goddess that now resided in their own realm. The one who had been reincarnated as this young girl. A STORY he would have been reluctant to believe – at best, when his brother had finally filled him in on this… if it wasn’t for the fact that he had been taken HOSTAGE by the vengeful goddess herself.

      “… if you want to speak to me, we should head inside. I can have a room prepared so that we may speak in private.” Nobuyuki finally says, after a few moments of just listening to the other talk. Snapping out of his confusion and deciding he needed to act.

      They should talk. He had some questions himself, but? First and foremost, he needed to bring her inside… She looked exhausted. So? Quickly he ushered out some orders, before turning around. Gesturing with his hand to tell her to come along. “I’m… sure you do have a lot of questions and concerns. I’m willing to hear them out, it’s alright. I have nothing more pressing going on right now.” He was a busy man – and he was in the middle of things. However? This took precedence given the situation at hand. “You can have as long as you need to calm yourself when we’re out of the open. I understand being overwhelmed. Please, take as much time as you need here…”

       He would gesture towards the common room, giving quick orders to keep people away from this area – though to fetch some tea and some food for his guest. She looked like she’d traveled a long way, and it wasn’t likely that she had stopped anywhere. So? With that, he just gestures towards the room. A silent invitation for the other to sit down somewhere. It was hardly prepared for guests, but? The Lord of Numata was improving for now.

NONETHELESS SHE SOUGHT DARKNESS BY HERSELF. Those days spent by Izanami’s side taught her a valuable lesson. However to speak of them with others, to reveals those secrets they shared together was something which she would refrain from doing. Whatever fragment of sympathy ( if there was anything left ) which the goddess had for her would not be broken apart. That trust would not be betrayed. If anything, whatever happened would remain between them. Feeling at ease as she kept on hearing Ana speaking, Yuna wondered for a brief moment about her own story. Regardless of her dispute with Yukimura, was Ana truly happy?

❝ Not in the slightest. I am at peace with what happened back then. Whatever consequences, I will confront them. However.. ❞ Hesitation was present into her voice, her tone becoming slightly lower than normal. Yuna was not certain of how to bring that certain topic to Anastasia. Whatever happened, she should not get involved, but how could she just abandon somebody whom she deemed as friend? Perhaps it was an action based on her grudge towards Yukimura, but.. she often wondered whether she was happy there. ❝ Are you happy being there? You must be aware now of my…. dispute with that man. ❞ It had been more than a dispute. It reached the point where Yuna did not wish to cross paths with him again. Somebody as proud as herself would not lower herself to apologize for something which she was in the right.

Taking in a deep breathe, she chose to stop hesitating and confront Ana regardless of whether she would be wrong or not. ❝ I wonder whether you feel well there or not. I told him I believe he considers you all as pawns and I still believe that. I am aware that you and Hanzo are not on friendly terms, but when I confronted Yukimura about his death… ❞ That gaze, those words.. even recalling everything made Yuna’s blood boil. At that time she was hesitating a lot, those words she said being spilled out in a fit of anger. Now if she could repeat that scene, she would have done everything in a different way. ❝ Honestly, I prefer not to see his face ever again, so you will not see me again in Ueda. I will not apologize for something I said and believe in strongly. But this does not mean I do not care about you or have respect for you and the others as he claims. Haha, I still want to hit him. A real hit this time. ❞

      “As long as you are willing to face the consequences headfirst, you should be able to overcome them eventually.” Anastasia responds with a bit of a hum – nodding a little, approvingly. The truth was, that was part of her problem when she had originally returned. It had been done so as … final act. She had returned to UEDA with the understanding that she would die.

      Almost the H O P E for death.

      However, when she’d been granted an extension to her life, when she’d been accepted amongst them again as the terms for her “f o r g i v e n e s s” . . . she’d felt TRAPPED. Sometimes, that man’s kindness was horribly crippling. It was K I N D, but it was manipulative. He’d known from the moment he spoke that his kindness was a binding c o n t r a c t. If Anastasia had had any other goals, dreams, or aspirations, they would have died on the spot. However, her dreams had died before that day, regardless. “… I’m aware of your conflict with our Lord, yes.” Anastasia responds, somewhat… carefully. “I wasn’t informed of it by the Lord himself, Sanada-sama has mostly kept the situation to himself, with the exception of his page – Rokurou-san. I simply happened to overhear about it when they were talking.” Honestly? She wasn’t sure what to make of the situation herself, since she hadn’t been there. And as she wasn’t properly informed? She was slow to make a judgement call on the situation… However? As the other asks about her own situation, Anastasia offers a soft smile. “I’m fine, Yuna-san. Sanada-sama has been more then lenient with me, and. . . even if I wasn’t exactly thrilled by his decision to employ me again at first? I’m… grateful that he did. It gave me a chance to redeem myself. It’s… given me the chance to make things right with people. And... I didn’t know how much I needed that.”

      Though she had resented H I M for it at first, Anastasia knew that without his kindness she would have never been able to make things right with Isanami. She would have never been able to apologize to Sasuke. Or work towards redemption in Saizou’s eyes. Or even get to speak to ROKUROU about what she’d done to his e y e. . . They were dear friends of hers, and if she’d left things as they were? She would have DIED a traitor.

      However, as the other continues to talk, Anastasia falls silent again. The RUSSIAN Kunoichi interested to hear what her friends was speaking. It was… interesting to hear that. From an outsiders perspective, perhaps it did look that way, but? After the other finishes speaking, she offers a slight nod – “… I can see where you might think that. I believed the same at first.” It was the honest truth. She’d HATED Yukimura years ago, judged him immediately due to his being a feudal LORD whose title had been granted to him from W A R. And the fact was – LORD tended to treat their underlings like pawns and playthings. She knew that VERY personally. And yet? “It’s impossible for me to dispute that it might seem that way, however? I can say this with absolute certainty: Yukimura is the best possible lord for me and those who are in his employ. He’s… unique. Weird. But he absolutely see’s us all as people, or? We wouldn’t still be there.” Saizou in specific was who she was thinking of. The young man who had had such skills – but had abandoned the idea of ever getting a lord. Yukimura was the one who had given him any faith in serving others again.

      “I do not fault you for following your ideals. You should do what you think is best.” Anastasia believed that. If Yuna thought it was best to not return, then perhaps it was best. “I don’t claim to understand that man – so I can’t say what’s running through his head. I can’t imagine what it was that he said to you about Hanzo’s disappearance.” In fact, she couldn’t be sympathetic when it came to that at all. When it came to Hanzo, she STILL hated him. He’d deceived her and used her as a weapon against the others. So? Despite being willing to work with him, because she was professional, she did hate him. “And you should hit him again. Honestly, most of us spend our time exhausted with his antics… and most of us would like to hit him to. But? I would like to put forth that you should reframe from doing any real damage to him. We’re the only ones who are supposed to beat our lord up.” She offers with a smile and a soft laugh – ( Rokurou half burst the lords eardrums every other day with that technique of his… so… ) “We’re also paid to keep him from any real damage – so? You’d be denying us our pay if you got a real hit in.”

As much as he missed the other servamp greatly he was thankful it had just been the elder Alicein to come to his rescue, he hadn’t really wanted to see what would happen had it not been. Misono would be unhappy as it was that he hadn’t been back as soon as he had promised he would have been.

“I greatly appreciate that, i really do. If you hadn’t come along i’ve no idea how long i would have been stuck, more so if i had been taken to far away from Misono. Please do let me know if there is a way i can thank you for your help.” He had always been, very careful to keep within the distance they could move freely from each other, not wanting to cause his eve any pain like that. The help still had him by surprise but just maybe it reminded him of when Mikuni has been younger, both the brothers had been such sweet children. 

“He very much would and i would never hear the end of it, nor would i have enjoyed worrying him like that. I must be more careful from now on and pay attention to those around me, or possibly stay out of the veiw as much as possible.”

Even saying that, he remembered the last time the same thing happened and knew it would most likely happen again, there weren't any other butterfly like him so it was to be expected people would do this again. Noticing a shady place he’d be able to stay within, he flew to it, before changing from a butterfly. With any luck he’d be able to stick to the shadows as much as possible on his way back to avoid being caught again.

      Despite his surprising amount of self-control – the words the other spoke had him frowning a little. The truth was simple: If Misono and Lily had been separated too far, too long? It would have been painful. And that was an unpleasant, frustrating, thought.

      “You’re just too gosh dang pretty, Lily.” He muses aloud, in a sigh. Offering a quicksilver smile towards the SERVAMP of LUST – and a playful wink. A quick cover-up to his genuine concern for his brother. Misono was someone who he worried about frequently, despite his EXILE from the ( Alicein Househould ). “What ever are we gonna do if one of these times they refuse to give ya back? We’d have to initiate a full scale recovery mission! Wouldn’t that be funny?” The thought of having to break into someone, anyone’s house, to rescue a captured butterfly? Was hilarious. “I think if someone saw Jeje in their house, they’d just straight up die. He’s so tall! It would be intimidating, for sure~”

      He was being PLAYFUL – whimsical, as he always was. Though, Mikuni does raise an eyebrow at the others comment about paying him back. “Ah, nah, forget about that. I owe you a lifetime of favors, watchin’ after little Misono for me. You never need to worry about something like that.” This time, the blond laughs – the sounds is mirthful. It was true, he was ever grateful for the others presence. The face that Lily was with Misono always reassured him and made him happy. He could always trust that the other had his little brothers well being in mind…

      “… bein’ careful is for the best, that’s for sure.” He whistles then, laughing a little. He couldn’t blame people for being interested in the BUTTERFLY, Snow Lily was a pretty one… At least it made more sense when people were interested in him. ( he still didn’t understand why people thought s n a k e s where cute nowadays… ) “But, if you’d like? I can walk ya back. I know I’m not allowed on the estate anymore, but that doesn’t mean I can’t escort ya.” He offers, looking at the taller blond.

      When the other made her comment, he just stares for a second – it was a strangely comforting thing for her to say. It was N I C E to know that his partner wasn’t the type to just abandon him, and yet? Her words had him a little… embarrassed.

      “… I was trying to make a joke?” He offers out, somewhat meekly as he looks at her through his bangs.

      He wasn’t good at those. Being as asocial as he was, he tended to just… hide. Observe. It was easier that way. Especially given his quirky habits and hobbies. “I should… work on my joking tone, hmm?” He continues, though… he really was flattered. It was nice to know that he had such a protective and kind friend. He wasn’t sure where he had gone R I G H T in life to meet someone like her, but? Regardless, Hijirihara felt very lucky…

   This wasn’t supposed to be like this! How had things fallen apart so quickly? Lunafreya had expected this situation to be a little chaotic after all awakening the Hydraean could very well be the last thing she did. She was known for being temperamental and Lunafreya had been prepared for that. So it was no surprise that she was soaked to the bone her dress tattered as she attempted to gain control of the situation. She couldn’t break now Noctis was counting on her.

   What she hadn’t expected was Ardyn to jump into the situation. She knew he would probably come for her eventually if she still carried the ring. She just hadn’t expected it to be so soon with her only just having formed a covenant with Leviathan. 

   When she had refused to give him the ring she had expected her death. Ardyn was dangerous after all and she knew it. He gave off that vibe. However, he did something completely unexpected. He had simply shrugged and hoisted her up and took her away. No, this wasn’t what she had wanted. She was finally going to get to see Noctis again and now … where was he even going to take her?

   "Put me down, I can walk by myself.“ 

   Although, Lunafreya doubted he would listen he probably expected her to run the second she could and he wasn’t exactly wrong. However, she wasn’t going to just pick a direction and take off. That would be absolutely foolish on her part.

      “Do you truly believe that is often how ‘hostage’ situations work, my lady Oracle?”

      The mocking words left the man’s mouth with an obvious smile. It was a funny thought – that she was asking to be put down, when he’d clearly snatched her up for a reason. The idea of KILLING her had been a realistic one. It would have been easy to snatch up the R I N G from her corpse, or he could have propelled things into motion by acting out in front of the . . . still immature prince.

      It would have worked out alright that way. He wasn’t sure what had caused him to change his plan of action. Or why he’d thought this would work out for the better.

      “If I put you down right now, you’d attempt to leave – and that wouldn’t get… pretty. I would likely have to break your legs to keep you from running, no? So would you rather be carried? Or dragged?” The words, the question, sounded a m u s e d. What would she say from her position? Hoisted upon his shoulder like a sack of potatoes? “I can at least give you that option, I suppose.” He adds, with a hum…

      Today was turning into a rather ( INTERESTING ) day, to say the least.

Stolen Light [ Lunafreya & Ardyn ]

@ultimumsuperbia continued from [x]

      When he saw his brother struggle to meet his gaze – he could feel an overwhelming amount of s e l f shame wash over him. There was nothing wrong with how Tetsu and Old Child had done. They’d only been put in danger because of Mahiru and himself - because his E V E insisted on being a good person. Because - - - ! Well...They’d have been better off remaining as they had been, without becoming ALLIES of their jumbled mess of a team.

      Now his brother was INJURED. No. no. Not injured, crippled. Fighting Tsubaki hadn’t only left Hugh in a tight spot, but also Hyde/Lawless. . . If anyone should be apologizing, it was K U R O.

      He had been the one who had been l a t e. And though that wasn’t uncommon for the SERVAMP of SLOTH, it seems his retreat from responsibilities. . . had h u r t his family. And he felt immense shame for having been so late to action that his brothers were both suffering now. ‘… they’re not the first to have suffered for trusting me…’ G U I L T. Guilt soaked his thoughts, his everything, as he moved carefully to casually scratch at the back of his head. “… it’s alright.” Kuro - Sleepy Ash - mutters aloud, finally. His crimson eyes dodging the others… “You were fine. I was just… late.”

      As the eldest s e r v a m p, he was the one that people looked to for answers. And yet, here he was. He didn’t know what he could do to tell P R I D E that they weren’t responsible. ( . . . this was part of the very reason he h a t e d doing anything. FEELING responsible for anything. Making choices. ) “… please… don’t apologize. Just focus on feeling better.”

@smiletorn continued from [x]

      “Scared? Truly? Of little ol’ me?” Anastasia asks – attempting to keep a straight face, while a smile tickled at her lips. She couldn’t HIDE things from her younger companion anymore. At least, not little things. The fact that she’d purposely snuck up on the younger Brave was as much of a give away as any. . .

      However, since the other seemed to melt into her hug anyways? Despite her complaints? Anastasia would simply have to assume that she hadn’t truly done anything wrong. Leading to her sticking out her tongue, somewhat childishly, at the others “ t h r e a t. “

      “You wouldn’t do that to me.” Anastasia is quick to say, chuckling a little at the others response – seeing the smaller BRAVE also stick out her tongue slightly. Today they were both acting VERY MATURE, clearly. Though, when ISANAMI gives her a chaste kiss on the nose – Anastasia blinks. Her sapphire eyes widening, for once, earnestly – surprise dancing in them.

      Little things Isanami did had a way of throwing her entirely off her game. ( But – I suppose that was a little of what l o v e was, wasn’t it? )

      This loss would only last a fraction of a second. Composure quickly returned with a chuckle and the comment, “Yes, dear. Yes you do.” And with that, the older B R A V E entirely releases Isanami from her hug. Instead, offering out her hand. The non-vocal cue for the other to come with her. “But only this time. I have a reputation to keep.”

[ @snowinglilys​ ]╰☆╮ continued from [x]

      Though it was much more in his nature to just let things unfold as they would – he couldn’t just sit on his hands and do nothing when he’d seen the familiar butterfly fluttering about. Snow Lily was a dear friend of the family, and if Jeje had been around . . . Well, as the two had always worked side-by-side in protecting the Alicein family? He could only imagine that things would have escalated from there. Luckily, Mikuni was on his own today. And he’d been able to get the child to relinquish his claim on the butterfly in his possession.

      “Ah, ya never need to worry ‘bout me just leaving you trapped. Should I be in the area, I’m more then happy to help.” And, despite frequently just allowing the dominos to fall as they would – he was often around. So? With this comment, he’s more then happy to tilt his hat towards the other. A little gentlemanly gesture.

       And as Lily had been one of his family’s… “GUARDIANS,” so to say, he certainly wasn’t about to watch one of them be accidentally abducted. Despite his tendency to play devil’s advocate. “Lucky timing, though. Misono would have had a heart attack if some kid decided they were gonna keep ya again.” The funniest part was that he could – truthfully – say a g a i n. Lily, All-of-Love, was certainly a beautiful butterfly.

❖ ─ ━ ɩɴⅴеႽτɩնατοʀ It was actually surprised to see him at his desk each day, it was like he was trying to improve himself more something which was actually quite kind of him to do. Despite everyone else who works in their Division though, Hijirihara was the only one that could make her smile the brightest and more or less trust so these small things made her day. ❝I never knew you were good at these sort of things, Hijirihara-san. I’m actually amazed at it, and it’s actually quite adorable too. ❞ She responded back smiling more towards him. It didn’t actually matter that he gave it to her earlier than expected there cause she would respond the same way. It was very sweet of him he went to the extent of decorating it there too so she was more than happy he gave her the plushy there. ❝I named it after a character from a game I played in the past there, so his name is Dezel. And he’s now he’s one of my valuable treasures too. Besides that though, how was the chocolate I made you? ❞

      When she compliments him again, he lowers his head a little – hiding his eyes a little bit behind his messy hair. He didn’t often show these skills to others. So? It was nice to have them complimented. But? it was a little overwhelming as well.

      Perhaps that was just because he was naturally a little anxious? Or perhaps it was because his partner & friend was the one saying it? And he wasn’t used to being complimented by her… after all, he could be an awful lot of trouble for her as well. And there where days that he still found himself hiding in weird places. It was a comfort thing for him. “I could show you how I do it, sometime? If you’d be interested… in something like that, I guess?” Perhaps he could make a companion stuffed animal for her current one – and he could show her how he did it.

      Honestly, it’s just understanding how shapes work together. And knowing what the completed image would look like reassembled. ( Ironically – a similar technique to figuring out murders. Not that he was going to say something like that right n o w though. )

      “Dezel? I like it.” Hijirihara comments, smiling just a little as he nods. “I liked the chocolate.” He continues, answering her question now as well. “It was really good. A little more of a dark-chocolate, right?” Do you know who sucks at small talk? This fella.

      But do you know whose gotten better at it, because he wants to talk to his partner more? SAME ANSWER as above. ( This fella. ) “I think I read somewhere… that you have to keep it at a certain temperature? While you’re cooking it, otherwise it doesn’t have that shine it had… so… that’s really cool.” Casual conversation may not be his strong point. But? Here he was – the KILLER KILLER, sitting at his desk. Chatting casually with his partner. Exchanging interests. ( . . . what a sight. )

“little gifts” ; messiah & titus

continued from [ x ] ; @carnifcx

       Sometimes Messiah wondered if he had a self-destruct button that just… flipped itself, when he interacted with Titus. He’d honestly approached the other to simply offer him a gift on a holiday, and yet? He couldn’t resist the jab he’d decided to take at him. And yet, it hadn’t been his intention. It’d just slipped out. And before he could apologize – the other spoke.

      “So, you’re trying to tell me you earnestly never steal anything just because you want to?” There was doubt thickly laced in his tone. He wasn’t the type of person to just take others at their word. And with this man in specific? ( He could be almost INHUMANLY distrusting. ) A problem he recognized. And one he was attempting to work on . . . especially given who they both worked for. And yet, here he was. Botching another attempt. ‘Genius I may be, and yet? Here I am.’ He cursed himself quietly, allowing the other to take his present, and crossing his own arms in turn. “It seems unlikely.” And here he was just shoveling further mistakes on top of the prior one. Rather then backing down, accepting his mistake for a moment – swallowing his pride and apologizing? Nope.

      However, as the other shoves a bouquet against him, he blinks a few times. Confusion alight in his amethyst eyes, and he reaches for the offered gift. WAIT, WHAT? The other had gotten him something as well? Why??? It wasn’t as though the other had any reason to give him anything. ( It wasn’t as though he had a reason to give Titus anything ether, and yet? When he’d seen the box, he’d thought of him… not that he’d say that aloud. )

       And despite being flattered, when the other made his comment, his eyebrows knit together a little – and he reaches out a gloved hand to take the others gift. “… I suppose I’ll hold my tongue, then. As you’ve already answered my question.” Messiah somehow doubted that was the absolute truth. But, he’d leave it alone for now. PERHAPS that was just his suspicious side, anyways. “Thank you. You’ve got a good eye.”

      Oh look, he was able to say one nice thing.

      “… perhaps you’d like to join me? I was going to a reservation I made for dinner.” He’d at least ask – even if he thought the other would likely decline. Though, he couldn’t resist making one more quick jab: “Though, I suppose I’ll have to make a side-trip now, as well. To drop off these flowers. But I suppose you can come along for that as well, if you’d like.”

      He wouldn’t wait for an answer. In fact, he would turn on his heel and begin walking away from the THIEF. Why? Because he was starting to wonder what sort of hit he’d make if he just kept talking to the other. T r u l y, he was beginning to wonder if that’s just how he acted around TITUS. If he would, consistently, just attack the other for no reason at all. However: He hoped the other recognized the second part as being… somewhat kind? Messiah liked to keep people out of his private life. So? Up until now, he’d never offered to let anyone come to his house.

      Especially not the thief.

      They had a NEGATIVE history between the two of them – and it was a matter of T R U S T. Not that he thought he had anything there that the other would be particularly interested in. . .

“human” ; hanzo & isanami

continued from [ x ] ; @smiletorn

      The fact that he didn’t see this coming was absolutely ridiculous – somehow, Isanami was always just Isanami. The fact that he was crying, the fact that he was emotional, didn’t stop her from doing what she always did. Which? Was taking care of her team, in the only way she knew how. By being unapologetically herself. Including, but not limited to, forcing her teammates to make “fish-faces” to stop them from hurting themselves.

      When she did so, he released his bite rather then fight her. She was right, he shouldn’t act that way. Least of all in front of her. ( . . . no. he shouldn’t act that way at all. not now, when he was part of a team. )

      The Fire Brave did nod then – a silent agreement not to do that again. And to listen to the other. His eyes still glistening a little, he just focuses his molten eyes on the other’s amber hues. He would listen. He wouldn’t run away. And, another way to show it? He hugs her just a little bit more. He wouldn’t disappear. He’d wait. He’d listen. It was the very least Hanzo could do for his fellow BRAVE. Let alone the youth he was confessing all of this to. . .

      When she started going into detail about all their adventures, he felt his lips twitch ever-so-slightly upwards. A small smile forcing itself onto his lips, despite the somber mood. They had a lot of shenanigans going for them, as members of this team, he’d found himself frequently at her side. Enjoying her company. He didn’t mind her giving him unreasonable requests. It wasn’t out of tolerance, it wasn’t him just putting up with her, it was out of the fact that he was simply glad to be at her side. And if that was how she tolerated him? He was happy to comply. And as their time together had increased, so had the amount of times they sought out each other…

      As she kept talking, as he kept listening, he barely noticed he stopped crying. He felt his chest tighten – f e a r, as he recognized it now, as she kept talking. However, he felt himself take a breath when she said she didn’t hate him. And? That if he wanted to be her friend… he would have to live in the f u t u r e.

      What a request. As a shinobi, he’s always been a tool. He’d never planned anything for himself – and the time he did, it was out of spite. And that hadn’t ended well. That had ended up with him losing an arm, and being frozen in a block of ice for a year… but… it had also ended in T H I S. So, was it really… b a d? He’d let her finish. Staying silent, as promised, as she spoke… “Manuel labor, letting you tease me, and living in the future? Living in the present? Not the past… I think… I think those t-terms are acceptable. I can live with that.” He tries to tease back - he knew his voice was a little flat. But? If she was trying to lighten the mood, who was he to ruin it?

      He finally spoke again – his voice still raw. Pained. But, the tears in his eyes now were… relief. Not pain. “I won’t… disappear, Isanami. I promise you, I won’t… I won’t change how I act towards you. If you’re still here. If you’re… still willing to accept me at your side? I won’t… run away. I won’t hide myself behind walls. I don’t… want to push you away. I want to be here. I want… I want to be human.” It was terrifying – to admit that he wanted that. Even if he was absolutely horrified by his emotions.

      Even if he was tortured by what he did – if she wanted him to get his head out of the past, and start living for the here and now? He’d… try.

      “You’ll… have to forgive me. I won’t be very good at living in the here and now right away. But… I’ll learn. I’ll keep learning. I won’t… I won’t give up. If you’re willing to wait, if you’re willing to put up with me being just… stupidly bad at living for the future? If you’re willing to wait for me… I’ll keep trying until I catch up with you. I promise.” Hanzo very rarely used those words – he didn’t make promises. He didn’t make personal deals. As a shinobi – personal anything, was a failure on his part. But, in this instant? He was willing to f a i l at being a shinobi.

      If it meant… that they could be f r i e n d s. That they could be companions. That he could belong here.

      “I won’t push you away.” He murmurs again, nodding a little. Hanzo wasn’t used to people wanting to be near him, but, despite his own insecurities. Despite his F E A R. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt her… not again. Not if he could help it. “… as long as you want me to be here? I won’t go anywhere. Okay?” Somehow, this place had become his home. Somehow, U E D A had helped warm his heart – and open him up to people. Somehow, this rag-tag group of misfits had become his h o m e. And this place? He would protect it… regardless of what it took from him personally.

“discovery” ; ana & isa

continued from [ x ] : @smiletorn

      This was going to be an adventure. Anastasia had known that from the get go – and yet, at the same time, she knew she couldn’t just let this matter be anymore. She was glad she had convinced the younger BRAVE to come along with her for this trip, however? She wasn’t used to these things.

      The “BRAVE of ICE” had never been an expert on emotions. Not since she’d grown up in IGA – not since she’d literally been sold to her master, after her parents had been slaughtered, and she’d arrived in these strange lands. To an extent? It just made more sense to keep to herself. To become numb. To become I C E. And she’d done a wonderful job of that. Of freezing her heart. Of becoming closed off. She’d done what she’d need to… to survive.

      And yet, the DARKNESS BRAVE – had somehow cracked her heart open yet. And didn’t even know it.

       “Isanami-chan, are you ready?” Anastasia asks, tapping on the doorframe of the younger girl’s room. Today, Anastasia wasn’t wearing any shinobi gear. Instead, an elegant kimono – and her long golden hair styled in a loose, but regal bun. She wanted to make this outing… different. She wanted to make it more obvious that this wasn’t the same as their other outings.

       Because she wanted to make it obvious this time. She wanted to make sure the other didn’t think she was teasing – she didn’t want the other to think this was a joke. She needed to set apart this meeting from their others, because… today? She wanted to let Isanami know how she felt. ( And her biggest worry – was that she might not take it seriously. Due to Anastasia’s history of teasing her, she was rather worried about that. ) “I hope you dressed nice. We’re going to be out and about all day, today. I have the whole day off, and I intend to spend it with you. So? You’d better be ready.”

       And she was going to need all day… to try to work up the courage to say what she needed to say.

“haunted” ; messiah & isanami

continued from [ x ] ; @smiletorn

       At the very least he was glad she was willing to listen to reason – hearing him out and calming down a little, even coming to her own conclusion about the storm. Good. She had a working head on her shoulders. This was important, if they were going to be here together. Messiah didn’t work well with others often, especially civilians.

      Especially CIVILIANS who got in the way of his jobs. But? That was another matter. “That is the most likely solution, yes. Electricity can travel through the ground, or if it just happened to hit a powerline or such – it’s likely that it’d just turn on, if sparked into action.” At least, that was far more likely than believing this place to be haunted.

      Right?

      Science had nothing to imply that spirits stayed in any place. Though rumors and stories spun frequently about hauntings and the chaos that it could cause – Messiah was unlikely to believe it without proof. Spirits, strong attachments, regrets, anger… guilt . . ? There were many popular stories to explain “HAUNTINGS,” but? As far as he was concerned, those were the ramblings of a paranoid person. Or of a person feeling “GUILTY” themselves.

      “You needn’t apologize. You’re uncomfortable. That’s perfectly human.” Messiah reassures, as his eyes fixate on the hall – he was trying to see if he could pick any shadows moving in the distance. However, aside from the ones you would expect from flashes of LIGHTNING through dust-covered windows? He couldn’t see anyone moving inside the parlor. “If it makes you more comfortable, you’re welcome to continue holding onto my arm. But, if we find another person in here, I’m going to need it back – and you’re going to need to get behind me.” He couldn’t have her impeding his ability to fight, should he need to.

      And honestly, if she was going to be here with him – he’d almost rather know exactly where she was, then risk her wondering off. At least this way, he can reassure his clients that she was doing not damage to the place and keep her from risk of being sued. Or arrested for trespassing.

      “Detective Messiah.” He corrects, offering an ever-so-slight smile this time. His amethyst eyes shifting from his focus only for a moment to meet the other eyes – “Though, given the circumstances, just Messiah would be fine.” Why waste time in a situation where communication might be important?

      However, he raises his eyebrows a little at her question. Suddenly curious about the land, hmm? How curious. “They’re not in a position to have firm plans, I’m afraid. Given that they know little about what is here, or the condition it’s in – they’re going to need to make sure it’s safe for a property inspector to come through and assess the place. Once they’re finished, it’s likely to have everything here sold and the property destroyed to build something else. At least, that’s what most would do given the state of the place. But? Perhaps they’d refurbish and create a museum? That’s what I’d do.” Perhaps that made him a little… ODD. But he enjoyed old places like this. And it’s hard to copy this sort of building with modern designing. However, as they talk, he starts moving forward – his voice a whisper as he gradually inches forward. He wasn’t going too quick – he would make sure she could keep holding onto him as he continued forward, should she want to. He wouldn’t shake her off or try to move on without her.

      For both of their sakes? It was probably just better to have her come along for the ride anyways…

❝I heard you called a certain someone a 'bully'.❞ What a hilarious, childish name. She knew of that man's true nature having witnessed it first-hand, growing accustomed to it, welcoming that darkness herself. A snort soon followed. ❝I wonder if you would say the same to his face. Whatever you might believe after me after that fall-out we had, he is ten-- no, an infinite time worse. I would be careful if I were you, but you can ignore my advice.❞ [ For Yukimura. ]

      When the other spoke to him, his cat-like golden eyes shiftover. It’d been a while since she’d went out of her way to speak to him. And?That was fine. Perhaps it was childish of him, but he wasn’t the type toget angry often – so when forced into that position, it made him ratheroff-put. Not that he’s prone to holding grudges, necessarily, however? He wasn’tgoing to be the same chipper man for a while yet. He was put into a rather tightposition at that time – and that was withouther coming in and speaking to him when she’d already made up her mind onhow that encounter was going to go.

      “So what if I have?” Yukimura eventually sighs out the words, frowning alittle as he scratches the back of his head. “I have never been one to refrainfrom speaking my mind. And I feel like bully is the most acceptable thing I couldcall him. Especially to Isanami. It’s best to respect the fact that she doesn’treally like swearing.”

      However, he does listen to her the rest of the way. Therewas little in regards to a physical response – his eyes remained on the crimson-eyedwoman. Listening, in respectful silence, before nodding a little after shefinished. “I suppose I can try to remember that, should I ever meet him myself.”The words were spoken briefly, curtly, but earnestly. Pulling out his fan as hespeaks then – snapping it open to cover the lower half of his face. “However, Ishould remind you of something I said to you before: I don’t fear death. ShouldI lose my head for something I said at a poorly timed moment? Then that isbecause it was fate that it should happen that way. And perhaps if you’reconcerned for how I approach thisman, you should be more careful not to allow him around gentle souls likeIsanami.”

       If she was implying this man was a threat towards UEDA, thenit was her who should be careful – asit was her who had brought him this direction. The LORD of UEDA didn’t hold hisold charming face for her at this time.

       If she thought this man was a threat, and she was the reason he was here – then itwas HER, who should be watching herself. Because if something did happen to hispeople under her watch, then the freedom she had around here would be revoked.He’d been rather open and kind to her, he’d always been. After all, he was arather OPEN MINDED lord, by comparison to most. But if she started activelybeing a threat, or bringing threats, into his land? He would have to change histone. As the Lord, his duty was first to his people. “I appreciate yourcandidness about this. I’ll make sure my Brave’s are properly informed on thefact that he is a treat. But, unless you have information on how to deal with him - I’m unsure of what you want to do by giving me this information.”

@explosivestorm

❝Hey,Hijirihara-san. Thank you for the plushy you, I really love it and its the best gift anyone ever gave me too. I even gave him a name too!❞ She was still holding it in his arms aonce she decided to bring it to work and leave it on her desk when doing the reports there,plus it was too adorable to leave home.

      When his PARTNER arrives, Hijirihara looks up – once again,surprisingly, at his desk. He really was doing his ABSOLUTE best. He still wasn’tthe best at being business only. Especiallygiven that he was quirkier then most members of their DIVISION. However, itappears his cleaning up his act a little has helped him in more ways then one.Including the added BENEFIT of his partner being able to l o c a t e himsometimes.

      “I’m glad you like it.” He starts, smiling ever-so-slightly. It was f a i n t. But it was there. “I’ve always sorta… enjoyed working onstuff like that. I mean, I know… there isn’t a lot of… time to use for itanymore. But…” He scratches the back of his head as he talks – his eyeswondering to the plush in her arms.

       He really was very PLEASED she liked it. He’d never beenwonderful with G I F T S, so part of him had been very concerned when he’ddecided to give her a present in turn. Sure, it wasn’t typical behavior for aJapanese youth like himself to give a girl a gift on VALENTINE’s DAY. Normally,St. White’s Day would be the proper day for him to give her a gift – however?As he’d been a traveler when he’d been younger, picking up on other traditionsweren’t too surprising. He was just glad that she’d liked it, even if it hadn’tbeen given at the r i g h t time.

      “Can I ask what name you gave him?” Hijirihara asks, tiltinghis head ever-so-slightly to the side. Curiosity in his voice.

       He had never been very good at expressing himself. But? Hewas learning a little bit better with both visual cues and vocal ones. ASANOMISAKI was really helping the young man: Even if he was forever going to be anendless mess of quirky behavior.

       … e s p e c i a l l y given his other hobby.

@absortio

            ❝It can be really frightening I suppose.❞

WHERE WAS LIGHT, THERE WAS DARKNESS. But if one side triumphed, if one shadowed the other, all that negativity would continue to evolve and take deeper roots. That had been her case; sorrow, anger, bitterness, helplessness have all been emotions which devoured her heart, which made her resort to unsealing that abyssmal darkness which swallowed everything in its path. ❝You could say that the most terrifying thing was the emptiness which followed after. Once my anger quelled, once I could see clearer.. nothing which I had held any meaning. ❞ Pointless destruction. That pain was not solely inflicted on those who deserved, but innocence people had been affected; they suffered losses, their hearts cried out in pain. Death had never been beautiful for them, nor liberating. It stole what they held more precious. Allowing a heavy sigh of relief go past her lips, she raised her heard towards the sky. That clear blue was peaceful, serene and it calmed her soul. Her sins were hers to bear, nonetheless that experience still remained. The tough lesson Yuna received would forever be imprinted in her mind; its goods and bad had marked her. She was another person now. ❝The more you welcome darkness in your life, the more you seek it, the more it will consume you. You can say that was a lesson. As for what happened next.. well, those years were another form of darkness I confronted. ❞

       It was surprising to hear those words from the other – but? Perhaps more so then anything, it was surprising to hear someone say something to eerily familiar to her own thoughts. She remembered everything she’d done while working for the IGA LEAGUE OF FIVE, she remembered betraying the team that welcomed her back nowadays… ( some more warily then others, but? that was fair. )

      The NUMBNESS that follows when you get what you thought you wanted – was one of the most terrifying things in the world. It was like being adrift. Without a goal, without an anchor . . . for Anastasia, what followed numbness was p a i n. She was welcomed back, but? As a traitor. And the kindness granted her, with or without wanting it? Locked her down like shackles. That was why she was the “BRAVE of ICE” once again. And? After all this time, she was still a TRAITOR in some of their minds. And others have warmed up to her presence once more…

      “… though I can understand how you felt to an extent, and I’m glad that it’s been a learning experience for you, I’m sorry that you felt that way to begin with.” Nothing was worse than feeling “EMPTY” – abandoned. In her life she’d felt that way several times. And somehow, people always reached out to her.

      Even after she’d made mistakes. “Do you want to elaborate? You must want to talk… at least to an extent, to offer these words so willingly. I’m more than happy to hear you out, if you want to talk. Though I certainly don’t know if I can offer you any worthwhile advice.” Anastasia was similar – having a FROZEN HEART years before, due to her own person grudges and anger. And holding onto a HOPE she knew should have died. She’d tortured herself these ways, she knew the person who’d made the mistake was her. And? It’d consumed her for some time. However, she already had a history of being that “ODD WOMAN” according to Yuna… so at the very least, perhaps, she could hear her out.

❛ KAMANOSUKE!!!! Have you ever sneezed so hard that you knocked down a tree or something? ❜

       The moment she started yelling he knew this conversation wasn’tgoing to go well – he could feel himself cringing visibly at the others obnoxiousyell. Not to mention, when it finally “CLICKED” to the Brave of Wind what she’djust asked???

      Annoyance shows visibly in his features.

      Really? Really?? RE A L L Y? ? ?

      These were the sorts of things he was going to waste histime with now? ( And let me premise this with: And they have been getting along– well, okay??? Lately? ) “Seriously, bitch? You hunt me down, screamat me, and asked me something that goddamned stupid?” Welp, their goodstreak can’t last forever – if they don’t have moments like this every once anda while? The rest of the BRAVES would wonder who these imposters are.

      “Have you ever sneezedso hard you put out the goddamned sun? Have you? Because whatever your fuckinganswer is? Then you know the fucking answer! Now get out of here before I kickyour ass!” Kamanosuke has become a bit better in the teamwork department.And? To be fair, the two of them have gotten along surprisingly well for the last while – it was about time one of themblew up.

@smiletorn

❛ Ne, Ana, have you ever been so hot that you started sweating ice? ❜

      “I wish.”

      The first words that left the golden-haired woman weren’t thought out at all. Instead, they simply slipped from her lips. The truth was? Anastasia hated heat. If she could do something like that just to keep her body at a naturally chilled temperature? She would fully take advantage of that skill.

      However, realizing she’d just spoken without thinking, the BRAVE of ICE laughs a little before looking over at Isanami. Wonderly, somewhat fondly - when she’d become so able to just speak her mind. “Remember when we first went to open air baths together?” She asks, laughing a little... she remembered that adventure going... somewhat poorly for a few people who couldn’t stay on their own side. “I couldn’t even stay in the water for too long… I don’t handle heat well. A skill like that would be nice, but... I would likely abuse it.”

      She could barely manage the STEAM in that place… and though open air baths are lovely, she always finds herself half BOILING ALIVE… Unfortunately. And though she can freeze the water particles in their air to form ice when she was in danger, she was more adapted to using natural bodies of water to create her weapons.

@smiletorn

❛ Hanzo, have you ever burped out fire before? ❜ [ i was going through my drafts and there was this conversation isanami had with a friend where if someone ate too much spicy food that's how they breathe fire or something and now i'm going to do the noble thing and spam braves who have control over elements with stupid questions ]

      A snort escapes the BRAVE of FIRE when his smaller companionasks him that – oh god. These werethe sorts of things she thought about? This was what she became curious enoughabout… that she hunted him down to ask? Truly?

       “Have I evermentioned that I love the way your brain works?” The crimson-haired manasks, aloud, as he reaches to ruffle the others hair carefully. He didn’t wantto mess it up, though, he was very amused. “BecauseI do. Truly.” He wasn’t really teasing,ether. As an IGA shinobi, he thought it rather sweet that this was how his smaller companion’s head worked. Howshe ticked.

     As he’d always been a warrior, he couldn’t say that he’dever had such a genuinely innocent thought…

      But? “I think theonly time I did something like that,” He starts, scratching at his cheek ashe averts his gaze. It wasn’t an… overly embarrassing story, but it was stillsilly. An amateur mistake made by an amateur.  “Waswhen I was younger. Part of my training was to take alcohol into my mouth, so thatI could surprise my enemy. My teacher told me I was supposed to use it as anaccelerant. I did, but? I hiccupped? Long story short – I got into a lot oftrouble for setting stuff on fire that I wasn’t meant to.”

     He grins a little, half-awkwardly. If anyone else had asked,he would have just laughed at them for asking a “s t u p i d” question. But sincehis young friend had asked? He would tell her the truth. Even if it didn’t painthim in the light of being the “ultimate shinobi” that the name “HATTORI HANZO” implied.“Keep it between us, though, will you?” Headds, putting a finger to his lips. “Nobody got hurt in that incident, but? If Ilet it be known that I did such a thing, Saizou will know it was me who burnt theside of his home in Iga, while he was out training with his master andAnastasia once…” By that, he was saying this – yep. He’d been young at thetime. But? He had been older then the other two already. He was considered a “professionalamateur” at the time. An official shinobi, but? With limited experience. So?That sort of slip up… well… didn’t look great.

      And so far, he hadn’t been caught for thatincident. At least not by them, so? He’dlike to keep it that way.

      The untalented twin of Kaede Akamatsu, Kagami Akamatsu has the looks her sister does - longer hair, kept in a braid, but? Aside from that? Identical. ( She’s a bit more pessimistic then her twin is, however. ) And more importantly? She’s a member of Team Danganronpa. In fact, whereas Tsumugi Shirogane was in charge of the script? She was in charge of picking out the cast from all of the applications.

      Was it out of love or spite that she actually chose her sisters video? That’s the real question. ( This verse is based off the late game spoiler that “Kaede has a twin.” Of course, it was left unconfirmed, but? Regardless - I thought it would be fun to play with the idea. )

      ( This verse is in connection to @chiicxne my canon kaede for this verse. )

// ryoma hoshi - verses

{ tag stuff } -              ( ver ) .tragedy╰☆╮(❝Ryoma Hoshi❞)

      During the events of Danganronpa V3. This is the new killing game between Ultimates, in which he’s one of the players. And? From the get go, he likes to tell people that he is not someone they should be trusting. After all: He’s already got a record - in fact? He’s already killed people. So? Why should they trust him?

{ tag stuff } -            ( ver ) .tennis pro╰☆╮(❝Ryoma Hoshi❞)

      Based on the mini-game in Danganronpa V3 where everyone is a part of Hope’s Peak Academy, this is where he has a rather natural school life alongside of everyone else. Of course, he’s still reluctant to actually play tennis anymore... but surrounded by these people and their talents has at least inspired a spark of interest in his own talent again. Can he truly retire so early in his life? Especially when he still has so much love for the sport?

// yusuke urameshi - verses

{ Spirit Detective } -              ( ver ) .phantom sleuth╰☆╮(❝Yusuke Urameshi❞)

      Having died unexpectedly, he has suddenly found himself the new “spirit detective” - a job that has been rather ungraciously shoved upon him. All in all, he’s actually surprisingly good at it. Despite his tendencies to act before thinking and throwing himself headfirst into dangerous situations that may or may not cost him his soul...

{ Demon } -            ( ver ) .demonic ancestor╰☆╮(❝Yusuke Urameshi❞)

      In a twist of fate, it appears his second resurrection has awakened his ancestor’s blood in his veins - an ancient bloodline that he wasn’t even remotely aware he’d had. After all: It was so remote that it was less then one percent demon blood in him... and yet, now he’s got it pulsing through his veins the same as everything else. Strange. But, he’s just sorta rolling with it now.

{ Retired } -             ( ver ) .local buisness╰☆╮(❝Yusuke Urameshi❞)

       Yusuke has finally decided that outside of just fighting, he’s going to pick up a normal job - in fact? He eventually picked up his own noodle stand, and has been running it as a fairly successful business. And? Once he’d been doing well enough? He finally decides to buy a rather small shop. It’s not much, but it’s good enough for the former spirit detective - not to say he’s against the occasional job now and again, but he only takes the ones he wants to nowadays.

// kuronue - verses

{ Partners } -              ( ver ) .trust╰☆╮(❝Kuronue❞)

      Working alongside of the Yoko Kurama can be a bit of an adventure - at least he’s always thought so. They’ve had some near misses, and some close calls that it’s never boring to be around one another.

      ... unfortunately, eventually, it’s one close call too many.

{ tag stuff } -            ( ver ) .survival╰☆╮(❝Kuronue❞)

      Having barely survived his near death encounter, he’s not surprised that Yoko thought he was dead - he thought he’d certainly been at death’s door himself. However, due to the incredibly long time it’s taken for him to recover? He hasn’t approached the other again. It’s been a difficult struggle - from his wings been riddled with holes to, in general, being unable to get far fast... surviving has been a struggle. After all, his near death encounter left him barely able to defend himself. The rest of the time he needed to recover wouldn’t come easy... or fast.

      When he finally did recover, he wasn’t as strong as he once was. So? He gave his former partner distance - especially having seen the other had sorta changed his life style. He knows the old sayings about falling into your old crowd, it tends to reverse your behavior. And if the other has changed his ways, he doesn’t want to be the reason he falls back into step - however? It hasn’t stopped him from coming to events where Kurama has been. Such as going to the Dark Tournament and watching from afar.

// kamui ( corrin ) - verses

{ Birthright } -              ( ver ) .heritage╰☆╮(❝Kamui/Corrin❞)

       After meeting up with his birth family, Corrin couldn’t help but want to stay by their side - this was his family too, right? This was the land he was meant to have grown up with. These where the siblings he had been forcefully taken away from. This was his birthright.

       It broke his heart to turn away from the family that raised him - but taking up his Hoshidian name, Kamui, he steels his heart and does his absolute best to protect his family. Both sides, if he can help it... but there is no saving everyone. And though he never meant for his returning home to hurt his adopted family as well... he knows that he’s caused them unnecessary grief.

{ Conquest } -            ( ver ) .slaughter╰☆╮(❝Kamui/Corrin❞)

      Having decided to return with his adoptive siblings back to Nohr - after all! They may not be his blood siblings, but they’ve always been his family. But, despite this logic making perfect sense to him, it appears the king is enraged by his return.

      He can’t put his finger on it. He’s unable to understand why the king is so upset by his return and continuously pushing him to “prove his loyalty” all of a sudden... But, he’s doing his best to support his family. And his family is doing their best to protect him as well.

      In this verse - he’s learned that his birth name is Kamui, but usually answers to Corrin instead. His Nohrian name.

      ( This verse is only available upon request! I default to Birthright or Revelations usually. :’3 )

{ Revelations } -             ( ver ) .destiny╰☆╮(❝Kamui/Corrin❞)

      When faced with an impossible decision to pick one family or the other - Kamui makes one very important decision: He won’t chose ether side. He won’t betray ether side... and so? He and Azura make a dash for it. Leaving the area and having both sides declare him a traitor, due to his inability to chose ether side.

      This eventually leads him down the path of multiple truths - things that he had never known was going on behind the scenes, and? Opens the opportunity to save all of his family, both sides, from the invisible puppet masters behind the scenes.

// takumi - verses

{ Birthright } -              ( ver ) .paranoia╰☆╮(❝Takumi of Hoshido❞)

( spoilers for birthright )

      Despite Kamui/Corrin choosing their rightful family when given the chance to? Takumi doesn’t trust them. They’ve grown up in Nohr! Chances are that they’re hear to betray them, and are likely still working for the Nohrian’s they grew up alongside... and it certainly takes him a long time to change his opinion about this.

      He’s reluctant to trust and even more reluctant to admit it, when he does decide to trust the other. However, when he has decided that they really are family of his - he is fiercely protective.

{ Conquest } -            ( ver ) .possessed╰☆╮(❝Takumi of Hoshido❞)

      ( spoilers for conquest! )

      Understandably angry of the events that toke place after Kamui/Corrin came home... and the death of the Hoshidian queen, which he believes to have been an intentional attack... He is absolutely enraged at Kamui/Corrin for being “Nohrian”. That he would betray the people of their birth and their rightful family.

       Takumi is absolutely unwilling to bend in this situation. He’s unforgiving and relentless in his pursuit.

{ Revelations } -             ( ver ) .understanding╰☆╮(❝Takumi of Hoshido❞)

      Though it takes a while to come to the peace necessary to work alongside of them all, after a few unfortunate deaths leading to the surprising opportunity of peace... he decides to give it a chance. It was requested of him, after all. And? As things go on, he finds himself supporting this strange “third wing” stage of both sides working together. It takes a while for him to get used to the idea... but he’s actually somewhat glad for the opportunity.
