「 ♔ 」 Now that I’ve had the past month to think about it, I can safely say that the chances of me returning to this blog are slim to none, so mutuals can do with that information what they will. Regardless, I hope everyone’s been well and having fun! ♡

「 ♔ 」 Despite my best efforts, I have simply not been vibing here, so I’ll be putting this blog on an indefinite hiatus.

♔ 「 @noeiisms​ asked : “ everyone has secrets, don’t they? i’m sure you’ll tell me yours when you’re ready. ” [ kyouka! ] 。 」

✿ ❞ He already knew plenty about her. More than Kyouka cared for anyone to know, and there were time she had to suppress the discomfort that fact created; however, he’d always been kind to her regardless of that—-regardless that she’d once been tasked with killing him—-which made it easier to accept. Still... she hesitated to mention more. About the things she’d done, the people she had taken the lives of, everything she’d been prepared to give her life to repent for.

Which was all to say that no, she wasn’t ready. She didn’t know if she’d ever be, though she suspected that the information would be revealed one way or another, whether she wanted it to be or not.

For the time being, she tried not to dwell, and she tried to take comfort in his words, offering a tiny nod of acknowledgement. Maybe it wouldn’t be as terrible as she expected, yet she’d rather not find out the hard way.

♔ 「 @chameleoniism​​ asked : "i've got your back, okay?" for kyouka! 。 」

✿ ❞ Kyouka never went on missions alone—-due to her age, perhaps, or her status as a special ward rather than a fully fledged student—-despite any proficiency she showed or how many cursed spirits she killed; even when it came to weaker cases, she always had someone with her. And, well, she understood why the higher-ups must distrust her. Her mother had been a curse user, after all, and her skills had initially been honed under the guidance of other curse users.

She’d killed humans, not just monsters. Because of that, she’d been more than fortunate to receive her current treatment... even if the childish side of her couldn’t help but sulk a bit at being chaperoned.

Teru seemed nice enough, and since she’d arrived at the school recently, she needed time to learn the ropes. Typically, this mission wouldn’t be deemed nearly important enough to send two people ( even if they were students ), as these cursed spirits were fairly weak in comparison to others around the city—-but it served as a test of sorts.

At the words of encouragement, the girl halted in her step, shifting her gaze to watch the elder. All the while, she kept her guard up, her awareness of their surroundings never wavering.

Had Teru ever seen Kyouka’s cursed technique? Ah... there was a first time for everything. “...okay. You can watch.”

♔ 「 @chironitas​​ asked : 3o﹕ sender  wraps  a  blanket  around  receiver’s  shoulders . [ for kyouka! ] 。 」

✿ ❞ Kyouka took the roll of kitten caretaker very seriously, as evidenced by her diligence in ensuring the tiny animal remained happy and healthy. In conjunction with helping Vanitas whenever he needed it ( not to mention the sleepless nights she struggled with ), this understandably left her a little more fatigued than usual; she didn’t mean to close her eyes while cuddling the kitten on the couch, yet they fluttered shut anyway.

Each time the pet stirred, she did too—-each time he laid his head back down, she did too. And she didn’t fail to note when Vanitas brought a blanket over, the way he methodically draped it over her without covering the animal up in the process.

Her eyes cracked open only slightly as she watched, enough that she couldn’t tell if he noticed or not. But she knew he’s likely become evasive should she mention it or otherwise make it clear she saw, so she settled for expressing her gratitude via silent thought. If asked, she could pretend she thought Noé did it.

Regardless, that didn’t matter now. Poking gently at the kitten and earning a muted mew in return, she allowed her thoughts to drift off into pleasant dreams.

♔ 「 @wishlived​ asked : ❝ that’s simply not true. you know it, i know it. ❞ (Aphra to Percy) 。 」

🔥 ❞ Sometimes, Percy couldn’t tell if people disagreed with her because they genuinely held that opinion or if they simply disliked her and therefore refused to acknowledge anything she said—-and Aphra turned out to be one such case. The claim that cats were the greatest animal, hands down, evidently didn’t sit well with the elder, and she couldn’t believe her ears. ( Sure, people were entitled to their own opinions and she respected their autonomy. But that wouldn’t stop her from arguing about it, would it? ) Kitten cradled in one hand, she rested the other against her chest in a scandalized manner.

Well, if nothing else, at least Aphra hadn’t seen her heal the stray’s injured foot; the younger didn’t care to know what consequences revealing her ability might bring.

“You can say what you must in the privacy of your own home,” she retorted, hand moving to instead gently cover the kitten’s ears, “but please, think of the children. They deserve better than to hear your blasphemy.”

♔ 「 @ofsavior​ asked : Skepticism was firm across her gaze, and she studied him for longer than a teacher probably should have. But who could blame a teacher who had Karma enrolled in class? Suspicion was heavy in the classroom. “Repeat after me.” She demanded, writing Russian letters on the board. “I will not backtalk in class. My teacher knows better than I do.” 。 」

🔪 ❞ If Professor Bitch ever thought she’d be afforded a day’s worth of peace in this class, then she was sorely mistaken—-and far more idiotic than that cutesy act she used as a rouse made her out to be. And Karma didn’t even consider himself the worst offender in that regard ( even if he’d started the nickname matter ), considering he often kept to himself in the back of the room. Today, though, he’d felt like starting something, which led to him disturbing her lecture.

Which led to her holding him back after school. He’d almost laughed in her face at the demand; in the end, however, he decided to play along, and that fact alone must’ve set off alarm bells in her head—-he could see it in her eyes.

“I will not backtalk during class,” he drawled lazily, a mischievous smile curling at his lips. “Ms. Jelabitch knows better than I do.”

♔ 「 @monocaelix​ asked : ( toge > kyouka ) - [ shield ] sender steps between receiver and danger 。 」

✿ ❞ Missions didn’t make up the majority of encounters with cursed spirits—-in a large, bustling city like Tokyo, they could pop up anywhere, borne out of countless people’s fears and frustrations. For this reason, Kyouka thought it wise to keep up a healthy level of vigilance at all times... though, she didn’t necessarily carry her sword around each time she went out. It could draw unnecessary attention, and she didn’t feel like dealing with the possible repercussions of breaking the law; she did, however, always keep knives hidden in the folds of her kimono.

On a trip to acquire ice cream with Toge, she found herself a little more relaxed than usual ( and she nearly forgot to translate their order to the poor server who didn’t know how to respond to tuna mayo ). Not enough that she didn’t notice the cursed spirit herself, though she opted to ignore it while they were walking down a fairly crowded street.

It did follow, fortunately. And once they reached a more secluded area, it made its move, leaping down from the wall it crawled across. At the same time, Toge stepped in front of the younger, handing their ice cream off to her and unzipping his collar in one smooth motion.

The spirit—-maybe grade two or three at best—-didn’t stand a chance.

While prepared to offer her help if necessary, Kyouka also didn’t want to risk their ice cream’s safety, so she settled for watching as Toge dispatched the threat, then handed their dessert back to them.

“Next time,” she spoke as though nothing happened, “we should try and bring some back for the others.” They just needed to keep it from melting on their return trip to campus. Maybe they could buy a cooler...?

♔ 「 @wishlived​ asked : ❝ trust me, there’s no such thing as good people. ❞ (Aphra to Moran) 。 」

☠ ❞ There were some. They were few and far between, sure, but some existed. And most people weren’t horrible either—-they simply fell somewhere on the spectrum. Moran didn’t know what he qualified as, nor did he particularly care; he did his share of bad things, he hates viscerally, he saw most of the world and bleak colors, yet he gave his service to the one good person he could find. Perhaps that counted as something.

It wouldn’t last, however. He played the skeptic to his idealistic leader, but he wouldn’t be able to follow him until the end, a burden he couldn’t share with anyone.

But it seemed he found a companion more jaded than himself, and under his breath, he huffed out a laugh.

“I’ll drink to that,” he muttered, eyes trained on the glass near his hand... though he made no move to down it. He hadn’t touched it in several minutes, in fact, which may’ve been what prompted such a discussion—-the concept weighing more heavily on his mind tonight than it did most others.

 「 ✿  !!! 」 ​:

     he watches the girl carefully , noticing how easily morgana warms up to her - yeah , totally not a cat . he thinks , a small smile growing only slightly as he watches the interaction . between dealing with awful adults in the real world and seeing the distortion of so many in the metaverse , it’s been a challenge to remember the good things in the world . then again , that would likely be the case for anyone else if they had the responsibilities he’d had forced upon him .

     so , sue him for allowing the nice girl to dote on his cat . if morgana’s purring is any indication of anything , they both need this . 

     akira tries to hide the amusement in his expression as morgana protests that he does not , in fact , like treats because he’s human and he doesn’t eat cat treats . he pats the cats head gently , as if he’s trying to say just go with it . ‘ yeah , he loves them . he loses his mind the second he hears the word . ’ he laughs lightly - he’s in for an earful when they’re off the train . 

「 ✿ 」 Not every cat did, so she figured it best to ask—-both she and the president received mixed results when offering, which led to some experimentation on her part ( though she couldn’t exactly ask for constructive feedback, given that animals couldn’t speak ). She’d make the strips of dried fish herself and thought they tasted decent even by human standards, and she wouldn’t pass up the chance to see how an actual cat liked them; thus, at the confirmation, she reached into her hidden pocket to retrieve one of the treats, then held it out.

When she had the free time, perhaps she’d pick up a book or two on feline nutrition, though being a detective left her schedule a little unpredictable depending on how many cases they were assigned. She’d been fortunate enough to have today free, and it was hard to tell whether she’d be in the mood for reading or exploring next time.

♔ 「 @wishlived​​ asked : ‘ any place or thing in the universe can be up to 104% perfect. that’s how we got beyonce. ’ (Lewis to Percy) 。 」

🔥 ❞ Who? It took Percy a few long moments to recognize the name given, and she spent that time staring blankly at Lewis; after all, she’d never been that into pop culture, nor did she often seek out music to listen to—-so there were topics she was more than a little out of touch with. But she never cared enough to correct that, as she didn’t see it as necessary to correct to begin with.

Besides, if she could use that to tease the younger, then all the better, in her humble opinion.

Taking a long sip of her tea, she stayed silent as she debated the ideal response, then settled on something simple but effective: “Who?”

♔ 「 @noeiisms​​ asked : fate can be a cruel mistress to noé. every now and again, it strikes him down in his prime, taking him down a notch or two, upending any sorts of plans he may have made. today is one such day; he'd promised kyouka he'd take her to the carnival --- there were supposed to be rides and sweet treats and exotic animals that could do tricks, all manner of new and foreign and exciting things! --- but the minute he wakes up, sunlight assaulting his eyes painfully, he realizes he'll be lucky if he makes it out of bed today, let alone out the front door. his head feels as though it's made of cotton wool, he's got the sorest throat he's ever had in his life, and he's all stuffed up.

(of course this would happen today, when he'd been so looking forward to it. noé's heart sinks into his shoes.) he's still wrapped in the comforter when he drifts to kyouka's door, knocking lightly at the doorframe; when he speaks, he's surprised at just how awful he sounds. tentatively: "kyouka...? i... know i promised we could go to the carnival today, but... maybe we could... wait until tomorrow...? i feel... funny." 。 」

✿ ❞ Her first trip to the carnival had been... something. Bittersweet, perhaps, as she’d still been under that organization’s thumb—-yet she met these two, who gave her the chance to stand in the sunlight once again. Either way, it’d be nice to go again, this time without any overwhelming burdens weighing down on her shoulders; they could simply enjoy what the atmosphere had to offer, see all the shows and eat all the food and ride all the rides. If that entailed making herself sick in the process, then so be it as long as they had fun.

Except that she didn’t expect Noé to fall ill before the festivities.

When he knocked on the door, she’d been in the process of scrutinizing different outfits laid out atop her bed, and both that and his voice were so faint she strained to hear him; if not for her typical vigilance, she may not’ve noticed at all.

Silent steps brought her to the door, and she opened it so they could speak more clearly. And yes, he certainly looked ragged and in no condition to be going out—-that much was undeniable.

With an impassive nod, she confirmed, “We’ll stay home,” because really, they had no alternative options when he felt like this. He couldn’t help it, so she didn’t mind... besides, the carnival would be in town for another week, and she’d been planning to convince him to go twice anyway.

She returned her clothes to her dresser for now, then led the way to the kitchen, setting the kettle to boil, rummaging through the cabinets in search of medicine, and then preparing the ingredients for soup.

“Don’t push yourself if you’re not feeling well tomorrow, either. We’ll go once you feel better.” Even if that meant waiting for next time entirely.
