Alkaline: Euronymous x Y/N Series CH 3
Tagging: @ophelialaufey @madamemaximoff06 @forever-not-gonna-sink @ajmiila02 @liquidsmoothdomme @shady-the-simp
Oystein couldn't help but be a little anxious about the upcoming auditions of their new vocalist. He knew that there was a certain sound he was looking for but so far, no one had even come close. He practiced in his room at his parents house, somehow his other two band mates had both gotten flu so he wanted nothing to do with them until they were done puking their brains out.
"Oystein! Come give us a hand please." His Mom called up the steps and he glanced out of the window to see Y/n had parked the grocery delivery car in his driveway. She bounded out with a huge smile on her face, greeting his sister who gave her a hug. She was always very sweet to his family and he couldn't help but smile seeing that she had quite a few bags in her car. He placed the guitar gently on his bed before bounding down the steps and practically ran into Y/n as he exited the house.
"Oh! Hi Oystein." She smiled brightly at him handing him a bag.
"Hey, what's the damage today?" He glanced around her and noticed his mom had gotten way more than she needed.
"Bit more than usual but I just assumed your mom was throwing a party or something." She continued to pull bags from the car and stack them on the steps.
"Not that I know of." Oystein looked through the baf he was holding and froze when Y/n stopped to touch his hair.
"Wow you dyed your hair!" She pushed the pieces from teh front of his eyes and he watched her look it over.
"Yeah he wanted to look evil." His sister came down the stairs making Oystein roll his eyes.
"Oh yeah? Evil huh? I don't know if it makes you look evil but it does look pretty good. Very dark, very metal." Y/n matched the hand gesture that his sister threw up. Oystein was proud he had taught her that but even more surprised when she matched the gesture.
"I was just looking for change. Evil isn't hair color. It's a state of mind." Oystein cleared his throat, thrusting the bag he was holding at his sister to climb the steps.
"Don't I know it. It takes one hellish ghoul to help his mom with the grcoeries. Damn you to hell!" Y/n teased with a push but he grabbed her hand stopping her.
"You work in customer service. I'm sure you've wanted to slit the throats of tons of clients before. All those rude drunks that come into the shop, try and play grab ass or the ungrateful house wives who tip you with critisim instead of actual money when you carry all these groceries up their mansion steps." Oystein could feel her breath on his chin and she looked up to stare at him.
"Slitting someone's throat takes a lot more effort than you would think. I don't have the time or energy to be homocidal. I've got bills to pay, cute evil guitarist to visit." Y/n smirked making Oystein match her smile.
"Oystein, please don't breath on Y/n! I don't want you getting her sick." His mother had interuptted them and she took a step back.
"I'm not sick mom. They're the ones who are shitting themselves."
Y/n cringed hearing about his bandmembers.
"Soda crackers work wonders for that. Hopefully they can work it out." Y/n grabbed the last bag and handed it to Oystein before shutting her trunk. His mom had passed him the money to give her and she smiled taking it.
"Thanks so much. Have a wonderful week!" Y/n waved up at his mom as she walked inside.
"We're getting a new singer this week." Oystein said quickly wanting her to stick around for a few minutes.
"Cool! It's about time you got someone who actually knows how to sing." She ribbed.
"Does that mean you'll come to one of our shows now?" Oystein tried to get her to come to one of his shows in the past but she had never agreed.
"You know I work like a dog. I don't get a lot of time for concerts." She frowned.
"So what you're saying is I'll have to catch you on an off day?" Oystein asked making her snort.
"I wouldn't hold your breath for one of those. I can't remember the last time I took an off day." She stood in the door of her car and he rested his hand on it.
"Come on, you've got to find a little free time. How am I supposed to bring you to the dark side if you never make time for me?" Oystein stepped into her space and she leaned into him.
"Why do you want me to come to one of your shows so bad? You know I would stick out like a sore thumb around your friends." Y/n asked curiously. She was not a metal head or loud and erratic like the majoirty of the people he ran with. They were off the wall and wild, she was pretty calm and self described boring.
"Maybe I just like spending time with you." Oystein was surprised when she rested her hand on his chest.
"Why would you want to spend time with me? I'm alot harder to sway than you might think." He savored the feeling of her touch on his chest, the bit of hair she twirled on her fingertip was distracting.
"I don't know, I think I could figure out something." Oystein wanted to kiss her. He wanted to pin her to the hood of the car and suck bruises to her throat until she cried but a shrill yell from the steps startled him.
"Mom said not to give Y/n butt cooties!" Oystein blushed. Y/n laughed dropping her hand from his hair.
"GO INSIDE!" He yelled making her sprint back in the door after spitting her tonuge out.
"Let me know when you guys have another show and I'll see what I can do." It wasn't a promise or an acceptance of his invite but the little bit of hope she hung in the air was something he was willing to hold onto. He stepped out of the way of her car door and pushed it shut for her once she was inside. She gave a soft wave as he watched her drive out of his driveway. He never gave a shit about what most people thought about him or his music but he wanted her to watch him play so badly, he couldn't think straight.

SPOILERS FROM THE FUTURE ‼️‼️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this will take place in ep from the future and will be a Willow x reader x hunter
Your personality will be based on ranpo from bsd
Why?
Because he is a genius and perfect
About the resquests I will do after this is posted
The lines won't be 100% ok probably because I got this from yt
Tumblr media
Luz was at the portal, she watched a yellow creature with wings saying something but she couldn't understand anything, when she realized she was being pulled by her girlfriend, amity
"Luz! You were there for so long, we thought you got stuck behind! Are you hurt anywhere?
"I'm I'm fine, i saw something or someone but it was probably just in my head, any sign of...him?"
" oh come on it's not like a sore of ghosts will inexplicably appear if you say his name... I think anyway, if belos was here he's long gone now "
" Not very far after all it was only a few minutes that he had to advance " You said with your palisman over your head, they were sleeping, you were next to Willow, willow had her hand on top of your shoulder comfortably
" he better stay out of our way, this mama's hungry for vengeance! "
" now that is a fight I'd watch "
" I love powerful mothers" You said, Willow had a mini laugh at your comment
You started walking, hunter was nervous and went ahead, amity and Luz were next to each other, Willow and gus were next to you,
" okay everyone coast is clear huh "
Willow watched a red grass
" oh hello red grass I miss you! I can't talk for long we're on a mission to save the boiling aisles"(100% which is probably not how it is written, but it is what is written there)
Gus created some illusions to make Willow happier
" willow is back horay! (I don't know how to write it, it wasn't written there how to write it)
You looked at Willow so adorable that scene was, hunter was too, he heard the bird and looked in the direction to see if it was Flapjack but found with disappointment because it was just a red bird
" we don't have time to red grass or illusions! Belos had a head start so we should keep moving until we find him! " Hunter said with anger in his voice not for his friends but more for himself.
Gus and willow got sad faces and gus shattered the illusion
" yea we should leave him alone, it's been less than an hour since he's been possessed by Belos and he's probably still processing all this" You said, your palisman had already woken up so they was now by your side
Willow was trying to comfort gus which resulted, Titan you love her so much, she's so nice and pretty and super powerful, too bad you knew she wasn't doing well which worries you a lot but you're not one of the best people to comfort others, this has always been a problem for you
Willow made blueprints and started driving on them
" oh wow! You kids were really holding back in the human realm huh " Camila said with enthusiasm in her voice impressed by what Willow did
" maybe a little " amity said catching the slime by moving it in the air
" hello gorgeous slime " amity said while Luz was looking passionately at her, turning red but then she shook her head to let go of the feeling
" y/n Also has powers or is equal to hunter? " Camila asked Luz quietly so you wouldn't hear but before Luz could answer you answered
" Of course I have powers! Only I haven't shown them yet because you guys would be so impressed by them. " You said it boldly and in a strong voice
' One of the worst lies you've ever told ' Your pasliman says, you just ignored them
Camila just stood there awkwardly smiling but realized the unhappiness of her hija
" Mija you never told me how pretty this place was, the trees, the sky, give it aAAAAAAAAA "
Camila stands right in front of the children protecting them
" kids stand back who knows if that monster is alive or not " Camila looks at it strangely
" actually the titan skull is normal everything else is... wrong "
you guys watched it all strangely, it wasn't right at all
" guys what's on top of the skull " willow said you turned to see what was up there
" It looks like collector magic and the castle must be where he lives, to get rid of this strangeness we have to go there " you said making everyone turn to you
" Smart as ever y/n" gus said putting a hand on your shoulder
" we may have more answers at bonesborough " Luz said causing everyone to start walking, amity looked a bit worried but still went, You couldn't hear the conversation very well, only what Luz said at the end you could hear
" but I haven't changed my mind, after we rescue eda and king I'm staying in the human rea,l permanently, it's for the best..."
" wait let's talk first-"
Camila tried to convince but she couldn't this time
You already knew part of this story but didn't know it was forever, you have to try to convince her
--------------------------
(I'm not going to write the Belos part so I just cut this part from here.)
you arrived at the owl's house, it was covered in paint with words of hate written there
" what is this place " Camila asked looking at the house
Luz went to the door, putting her hand on the doorknob with her head down, then looking up and saying
" welcome. To the owl house " Opening the door, seeing that there was practically nothing inside
you went upstairs to talk to your pasliman
" So let's proceed with everything we heard, everyone disappeared, the collector turned this all into a dream, Luz is thinking of staying In the human real forever, hunter was possessed, Willow is on the verge of a breakdown, amity is trying to help Luz but Luz is just pulling her out, gus blames himself for all this because he was afraid to tell everyone hunter was a grimwalker from the beginning and WE can't say many things because I don't know what is really happening, why all this was provoked, maybe in that castle there is something that can say more about the collecter, And I don't know how to comfort others, gosh I needed him to be here maybe he had an answer, he always had an answer... " You said sitting on the floor looking for a photo in your bag (yes you have a bag)
Your pasliman started going into the bag " what are you trying to do" you asked them but they didn't answer instead he took out the other pasliman that was inside making the pasliman wake up
" What are you doing, that pasliman was his and we agreed not to touch it " You said with a bit of anger in your eyes
' I know but hunter now doesn't have a pasliman so we can give him this, it would be a victory for both, hunter would have a new pasliman and the pasliman would have a new owner ' Your pasliman said turning around the other one who looked a bit confused
" You forgot the detail that they both have to accept each other and now hunter would rather throw him into the sea than welcome the pasliman not to mention pasliman is still saddened by his death and probably wouldn't accept another owner now "
You said that putting the pasliman back in the bag
' Try talking to hunter first before saying that please ' They said you said maybe and your pasliman came back to put themself in your hair again
" IT'S EDA AND KING" you heard hunter scream going down there fast
" they were on that shooting star! " hunter shouted pointing to the blue star
" how are we supposed to follow them?! " Camila asked in a worried voice.
" don't worry " amity says making pasliman transform " I'm a safe flyer "
" flyer?! "
Camila went to amity, Luz went to Gus and hunter went to mine, we follow the blue star as far as we can
' Tell now this could be the time ' they said in code
" Now that we're flying? I'll ask him later " " Ask what later? " He asked listening to your conversation " Is it something serious? " He asked you continue to fly and you answered
" It's nothing that serious but this isn't the best time to ask " You replied, he nodded, and you continued in silence until you arrived.
" those thing meed symbolts " Camila said relaxed that she is finally on earth " oh hello sweet earth " Camila was about to sit down when she saw a mixture of goo and meat and she pulled her staff and screamed " AAAAAAAAAA I I mean hello good sir " She said bowing to the monster, he was happy
You guys started walking around seeing everything broken or full of stars
" where eda and king? "
" where is anyone..? "
You continued walking, arriving at a place where hunter went to look
" something's coming! "
" Witches? "
" demons? "
" no it's...sparkles? "
hunter saw the blue sparkles and pulled you like Luz pulled amity, hiding your head in his arms
When you saw there were a lot of people there but they were transformed into... Dolls?
Willow recognized one of them, it was her father.
" dad?! " Willow said this looking worriedly at her dad
The dolls started to move, Willow went after her father while you and the hunter went after her to pull her to safety
" stop it's me! Have you seen papa?? Wait! "
You and the hunter pulled Willow into an alley behind you there was an explosion and you three ran fast
When you saw it, it was the owl lady
" eda? " Luz said looking at Eda destroying everything
" That doesn't look like the owl lady " You said, hunter and Willow agreed
Willow saw Eda going to hurt her dad and immediately reached for her staff but stopped when she heard a familiar voice
" stop right there beast ! "
You all started looking at the collector admired not in a good way
" fear not citizens bonesborough I'm here to stop this beast roughage! "
" I believe in you collector! " king said pointing thumbs up
" thanks best friend! " Collector said doing the same
" what the- " You said with open eyes
" Wyclef! " (he probably didn't say that but that's the only thing the subtitles are saying)
Saying that, there started to be blue lights and the "beast" was defeated making people applaud.
" yeah oh hooray I'm back to normal "
" what " Luz said looking creepy at Terra
" yeah who's got a pint of apple blood hoot hoot "
" ah timeout everyone timeout, Terra for the last time eda doesn't sound like that! She's got more a like a a cool ant vibe who pretends to be like a cold-hearted but actually cares alot "
" yeah you're real son in my side you know that, I've had it whit you and your stupid little dog " Collector looked at her with eyes filled with anger at what she said
" uh whatever all I have to do is play eda the owl lady and I don't get turned into any of those things right? Then let's just continue " oh I like musicians! ""
" your not being very nice right now " Collector said making a mini moon and pointing to Terra
" wait!! " Terra said but it was too late she was a doll now
We were left looking at it traumatized
Collector went to sit on the star with a sad look
" collector, buddy you gotta stop doing that think about what you're doing to these people! " king said trying to call the collector for the right option
" you are so boring! I'm just playing pretend " collector said looking like a child ( he is a child )
" even playing pretend has consequences... A cranky old witch thaught me that... " King said referring to eda
" you mean eda right? That's what we need! The real thing! A cranky know-it-all mentor figure no substitutes allowed! Maybe if I ask real nice I won't turn her into a puppet "
" NO! Her curse is still um.. in effect but I can check if she's feeling better "
" you promise?? " collector said making a sly smile
" you can trust me collector " King said putting his hand on his chest
" is that the little king guy you were tell me about? " Camila asked making Luz smile and nodding
" aww que lindo " Camila said looking at King with adorable eyes
" c'mon king! Let's go back to the archive house " collector said making the star fly and things start to disappear
Luz ran to try to catch the star " no! Not yet! "
" king...! " Luz stared at the sky with disappointed eyes.
" oh okay okay the eyeballs on the ground are normal but the little space cherub is the danger? "
" we should follow them! Belos is probably trying get back to the collector " Hunter said ignoring Camila
" it looked like they were playing a game "
" yeah whit some king of messed up version of my life! King must have told him about our adventures "
" do you think everyone who was turned into a puppet gets into archives? "
" probably, there are no more places for him to put the puppets " You said looking up at the sky
" Y/n is probably right, we have to up there then "
" you'll never make it " A familiar voice said
" Hmm "
" cause you guys are losers " The guy said making an L and putting his hand on his forehead, Two more people were behind him.
We started walking and they started telling the whole story since the draining spell I didn't listen half because it was boring I just went back when he said the end
" ... We've been hiding here ever since and somewhere along the way I went from being mett tholomule to man tholomule " he said making a face, we cringe and Camila laughed
" shiuu " She said making us all stop
We had to hide from the blue star and the guy signaled when we could move forward
We went to the door and she said
" we redecorating these past few months! So let me welcome you to " She stopped talking and opened the door " new hexside! " they gasped, You've never been to hexside so you just watched seeing children free but not free at the same time
" this does not smell great " a guy said
" real " you said
" heads up " A child said shooting a ball of fire making us go down
We went to the cafeteria where people were advertising their products and a nursery where the kids were trying to hint to others how to destroy the blue stars, We stopped at the principal statue
" this is a statue of principal bump who risked his life four ours " he said in an emotional voice but the statue wasn't very emotional
" it's so nice to see teachers getting the respect they deserve, I think "
" You guys really liked your director huh " You said looking at the statue
" He was very precious to us " one of them said
They started whispering about us and started talking to gus and Willow, amity went to her siblings
You and hunter stood there just watching, He took advantage of it and said " So what was it you wanted to ask? " He said looking at you
" It's not the right place yet, but I'll tell you later today " You said and grabbed more your bag, he looked weird at you but just nodded
you went next to willow
" no offense but this seems a bit.." willow didn't finish but Camila continued
" disgusting... "She said looking at it with disgusted eyes
" yeah but we're just following orders.." she said
" from who? " Luz asked
At that very moment the cluns start talking
(now it will probably be right because i had the brilliant idea to finally go to the computer and to the owl house club and see the subtitles from there and not from yt)
" attention can captain Tholomule escort our guests to the council chamber? And do it now! "
" captain who? " willow said
" wait. Was tholomule your last name all the time? " Gus asked turning his head slowly, the guy just shook his head
--------------------------
We started walking towards the gym seeing a tall guy talking to the girl with pink hair, on the side was a Lady with white hair and red skin and on the other was a tall and strong person, seemed to remember a person
" oh well, if we had a group to organize the flyers can keep track of perishables and that way we won't have to fight over food anymore " he said awkwardly
" hmm... " She was thinking when the red ball went to talk to her
" president if I can comment..- "
" president?! " Luz said interrupting the red ball
" this would take valuable resources away from your guard if you don't want to be collected like the other do you? "
" good point mike, next! " The girl in pink said making the guy leave with a disappointed face and sigh
" oh my gosh, it's you guys! "
" did she consider any of our ideas? "
" no uh... Sorry I gota make sure the kindergartens aren't hunting down lockers again, it was a bloodbath last time, so glad you're alive hehe " He said leaving awkwardly
" bocha, we found...- " He was stopped by the red ball
" allow me to introduce student body president, bocha and her trusted guards Miki and rouka " He said irritated
" It seems to be just one person " You whispered to Hunter, he didn't know what to say so he just looked at you and then looked straight ahead
" welcome to new hexside " bocha said with pride " home of the future of the islands and stuff
" what the heck is going on here "
" yeah. Hexside doesn't even have a student council, I would know it, I tried to organize one but bump seis I was to obsessed and-" Willow cut amity
" alright girl, take a breath "
Amity took a breath and got a pissed off face.
" and who are you two? " Gus asked
" my little sister and I traveled for the day of unity but found ourselfes hiding since after the incident. Bocha welcomed us, se we helped her established order over hexside "
" and now we are incredibly " She said, behind us there were people running around because of children
" well, first of all... I would like to introduce my mama, Camila "
" and our smart brillant y/n! And our fellow star, hunter! " Gus said making hunter blush all over his face
" in short: we are here to help, we'll rescue everyone from the archives and save the boiling isles! " People just stared
" not the reaction I was expecting... "
" As the leader the safety of bocha's subjects is paramount and this is a suicide mission after the horrors her brudgby team faced! "
" I don't need to hear it again! But Mike is right, we stay here!
" but- "
" and that's is! "
" So you're going to listen to a person who doesn't have a plan and is only harming your subjects than a person who has a plan to save this all? Stupid " You said making bocha and the red ball look at you angrily
" Get them out of here! Especially the one over there! " She said pointing at you
When they realized we were already out of the gym
" what just happened?! " Luz asked confused about what just happened
" it's been like this ever since Miki and rouka appeared we wanted to fix things here but every time we suggest something, Miki threatens to trow people to the detention pit"
" The what?! "
" 100% Miki is using bocha for her personal desires, This is very noticeable but she still doesn't understand it I don't know how " You said Willow walked over to you and put her hand on your shoulder
" what are we going to do to get to the archives? " willow asked
" I don't know how to get to the archives, but... We maybe can get closer "
" like the titan head, That would be a smart plan yeah " You said putting your hand on your chin
" Exactly! We just need the spell! " Luz said taking your hand
--------------------------
Gus watched to see if the hall was clear of people and was free to open the door with magic.
" very good,there are no moors on the coast! " Gus said making the guy open open the walls to the door
" this is where me and Jerboa have been trying to make plans to make hexside more livable "
Willow went to look through the photos when she found pictures of her and her dads when she was little, She was going to let out a few tears but stopped herself from doing so " keep it in, keep it in- ow! " she found a picture of hunter when he had Flapjack, he was smiling holding Flapjack, She looked at Hunter who was sighing his hair with an upset face
She also found a picture of you and your friend when you two were younger " aww " She said seeing you happy " They must miss him a lot... " She said looking at you seing that you were looking at what Luz was doing, she took these two photos and kept them
" plans to turn the gym into a common room? Hours for rotating on-call shifts? Is that a menu using vegetables from the plant room?! Matt thonomule, you really are a decent leader!" Gus said amazed
" have you had any doubts? " Matt said with cocky charm
" yes. Many many doubts "
" all right, time to go back on a walk down memory lane. I saw Phillip once, I mean, belos, using a glyph to transport himself to the skull but, it could take time to find out "
" remember Luz, no tricks, no ideas, no plans and-
Definitely no gimmicks " willow and Luz said at the same time
" I'll assume those are clean " Camila said
" It's better to assume yea " You said agreeing with camila
--------------------------
You've seen the memories of the Luz and nearly half of it is sad
" Damn you have many sad memories huh "
" yea " luz spoke, barely able to hear herself
" I think we found it! " Willow said taking the memory picture of Luz head
" it's so clear! We can use this to climb up to the skull " luz said excitement in her voice
" finally. Let's move again " Hunter said walking forward stopping when he heard willow's voice
" before we go, look what I found " Willow said giving the photo to hunter
Hunter saw the picture and his eyes got softe
" we will all miss Flapjack, but we know that he loved you the most "
Just so you know, we don't care who you're supposed to be because you are one of us now. Never forget that " Willow said trying to make hunter smile but only saw almost tears in his eyes
" hunter, are you okay? " Light asked worried
" I... Don know..." Hunter said making Willow feel guilty
" oh um... I'm.... I'm sorry. I didn't want to make things worse " She said this without realizing it making herbs cling to her boots but quickly undoing it as she started to walk
" I... I'll be right back " Willow said leaving the room
" I guess this is my fault too " Gus said looking away to not look into hunter's eyes
" what? How? " hunter asked confused
" I knew you were a grimwalker since the day of unit. I was waiting for you to bring up yourself but... I... I don't know, maybe if I wasn't so afraid none of us would be right here
" Gus I - " Hunter said being cut by gus
" it's okay, you stay here, I'll find willow" Gus said leaving the room
" wait, Gus! Willow, Gus , please hold on! " Hunter said leaving the room too
You stared, not knowing what to do, until Luz asked you a question.
" Did you know that Gus knew hunter was a grimwalker the whole time? " She asked not in an upset tone more in a tone of why didn't you tell her
" Yes, it was quite obvious, he saw Belos' memories so he probably saw those too, I went to talk to him on the second day in the human world he said not to tell anyone, I asked him if he wanted to vent what he wanted but he said it wasn't necessary and that he can keep it all, I didn't know what to say so I just said ok " You said a bit clumsy and guilty
" It wasn't your fault you just did what you thought was right hijo" Camila said giving you a hug, you didn't know what to do so you just stood there
" So you know all Belos' memories? " Luz asked
" No, not yet, only Gus knows now, but I'll find out after all I'm a good detective " You said making luz give a mini laugh, your pasliman was on your shoulder just watching everything
--------------------------
" uff... they are not coming back are they? " matt asked
" you kids have through too much. Even when rescuing your families there is still much to fix" Camila said very sad
" at least we will all be together to solve it, right Luz? "
Luz looked at her with guilty eyes
" amity... I'd should tell you something " Even at that moment the wall exploded
" Why is this always happening?! " You asked making your palisman agree
The red ball and her suit appeared
" ha, do the rumors were true. They were planning a riot, little Matt tholomule
" yea, we were because you guys are the worst " He said quite irritated now
The red ball just laughed
" no.. not you! " Luz said with the tone of ' not again '
" long time no see, human "
" I always knew it was pretty obvious even with that disguise you can't hide your ugliness! "
She looked at you " I recommend saying that when you are the strongest not when you are the weakest y/n " she said
" what's that smell? " Camila asked
" Nettles of sleep! " Luz said
" the most important rule of brudgby, always expect the unexpected " She said
You couldn't concentrate when you realized you were lying on the floor about to fall asleep.
-------------------------
She threw us into detention and we fell flat on our faces, well at least you
" what is this kiki mora? Are you working for the collector? " luz screamed
" the days of " kikimora, the subordinate " are over I prefer companionship like ours, we need to mandate now, for the sake of future generations "
" ok I'm still catching up. What is the red kitten trying to do? "
" she just copy Belos on " scaring people into worshipping her " because she has no ideas of her own! " Luz said to tease Bocha or kikimora
" uh. Um going to enjoy this " Kikimora said jumping into the hole where we were making Luz fall " you think I would just throw them inside and walk away? No, I think I'll finish you of myself "
" Bocha c'mon! this is a bit much, even for you! " She just looked and left, the floor closes in on her.
I saw them battling, you're not the best at fighting you're better at brains not at fighting!
" I don't deserve this! " you hear Matt say
Camila cast a spell making the ground fall and we go to separate ways.
You landed in a place with things written on the walls and drawings of more collectors
" Where am I...? " You asked seeing what was on the wall and a stone that was also written next to you
' We fell into a kind of temple full of collectors I guess, Well that's what it looks like ' your pasliman said
" Like the collector stories, well it was likely that there are other collectors but I didn't imagine that the one we saw was the smallest of all " You started trying to decipher the story behind the images and poems that were on the rocks " Why was all this up here? In a school detention? " You were reading the poems that were written in the rocks
' Maybe you can put some in your bag to read later because right now we should get out of here. ' Your pasliman said landing on your hair
" Yea, you're right, let's go " You said picking up some rocks and starting to walk until you reached a place where there was a hole above where you can get out
' After 30 minutes we finally found something. ' your pasliman said
" We? it was practically just me because you just did only add weigh on my head " You said taking the pasliman out of your head
' Rude ' they say
" yea yea " You said turning the pasliman into a staff to fly up there
you finally got up there sitting on the floor watching hunter do the same thing Flapjack did, luz having a staff in her hand that caused an explosion
" what. the. Heck, Why do I always miss the good parts " You complained to your pasliman, they just looked at you and turned they back
" Seriously? Now? Pick better times to be mad at me man " You said still sitting on the floor
Hunter saw where you were and used Flapjack's magic to get to you.
" y/n! I finally found you! " Hunter said picking you up and used Flapjack's magic to get to where the others were.
When you arrived Willow gave you a big hug
" y/n! You were the only missing here! " She said continuing into the hug
" You don't seem to be that tense right now, good " You rubbed your hand on her back for comfort
You heard kikimora behind you and you let go of the hug
" I don't need this reckless school to create my empire ... I'll make my own. And I will start by breaking them into pieces, part by part.. brat for brat! " After she said that, a fireball hit her.
" Stop right there! " Matt said " Miki, I can't say that I'm surprised by this, as for you Rouka I know there has been nothing more than chemistry between us... However you want to take it, I - "
" it's a robot, Matt " bocha said
" Finally the girl with pink hair said something true " You said making Willow laugh a little bit
They started shooting fireballs and amity came down
" they'll keep her busy let get to get to the skull! " She said taking Light's hand and running, we going after them
" hey bocha, don't think I'm done with you... "
" whatever, I didn't do this for any of you I just wanted to do normal things, and look cool and play grudby with my team! " She said screaming and throwing the fireball with everyone
Luz went to do the spell and pasliman started to move and made her fly
" I can't tell what you're gonna be but, thanks little friend! " She said flying with the staff
You'll decided to help with yours staffs
" this is my empire now! You'll have to obey me! " She cast the spell in yours direction but Luz was quick and did the spell and you guys went to the titan's head
" we ... We did it! " Gus said
You opened your eyes and saw you were there, excitement was in your eyes
" oh my, gosh! I can't believe that actually worked! " Willow said pulling amity and walking excitedly
" oh ohohoho we certainly beamus up O'Bailey? " Camila said making Gus and Hunter gasp
" bemus up! Bemus up! Bemus up! (I don't know how to write it, it's not written there as they say)
You were happy to see your boyfriend and girlfriend happy again, you then notice what the Luz was doing
Luz was grabbing her staff seeing that it is starting to open
" guys? " Luz said making everyone go around her to see the staff
" come meet my pasliman " Luz said making everyone circle around her
" what kind of magical creature will it be? " Camila asked " a dragon? "
" a bird? "
" an otter! "
" a spoky bat? "
" a snake ? "
" an octopus? "
" you were close " the creature started to come out of the fog and started shape shifting into different animals
" it's a shapeshifter snake! Her name is string bean.. and she is perfect! " She started to pass us and your palismans started to follow her and they all went to Camila
" oh look at all mama's precious babies. Come here, come here "
Hunter was just watching when he felt a hand on his hand.
" thanks for what you said back there, you mean a lot to me too " They blushed and hunter started to cry
" cool, happy to help. "
Willow saw you in front and pulled you into a hug with hunter
" Don't think you're left out Y/n! " She said giving you a kiss on the cheek, you were amazed, you couldn't speak
" I... I " It was the only thing you could say equal to nothing
She looked into your eyes with adoration in her eyes hunter did the same
" oh! I almost forgot! I found a picture of you and him on the floor, it must have fallen when you were walking " She said giving the picture you looked at the picture first and you heard her talking
" we know you don't talk about him much in front of us but we can feel that you miss him a lot " Hunter said letting Willow continue
" we also know we can never replace him but if you need anything i hope we can help like he did " Willow said wiping the tears from your eyes
" t-thank you guys, thank you alot " You took a breath and looked again at the picture " This was the only photo I managed to capture our friendship the rest is just written and drawn " You said putting the photo in your bag next to the book " You guys really did a lot for me these months, I'm glad I'm your partner, one of my best happiness in life now " You said that with excitement in your eyes, and they also have a few tears in their eyes from you saying that.
Amity called willow she had to go but first she gave you both a kiss and went to amity
Leaving hunter with the opportunity to ask what he wanted
" Now are you going to say what you wanted to ask? " He asked looking into your eyes
" Well I don't know if you need it now, after all you already have the Flapjack magic now " you said
" But what was it, maybe I can still answer! " He said taking your right hand
" ok, Well me and my palisman had an argument at the owl's house, you don't have a pasliman so i was thinking, why not give his old pasliman to you? One thing you all have in common, you lost important people in difficult times. " You said that going to get him from your bag, he woke up seeing hunter, hunter looks at him and says
" He's similar to Flapjack and I'm sure he likes a lot of cuddles too hehe " He said seeing pasliman caressing his cheek
" Yea he looks like he likes you what do you think? " You asked, hunter was thinking and said
" yea, I stay with him, he seems to like me a lot and he seems to be powerful, thanks y/n " Hunter said giving you a hug that took a few moments to let go, Those moments seemed happy, too happy
Little did they know that the collector was planning on them.

The Texas Tire Family

10 Years Ago
Entering the garage I snuck in quietly back into the bed seeing Georgie cuddling up with our little Aurora. Closing the door gently I nudged him over on his other side making him roll over mumbling. “Hmm Y/n…what are you doing’?”
“Shhh you’ll wake her up. I just needed to tell you that I love you Georgie.” I mumbled kissing him softly, making him smile. Since my memories had come back I have made sure to tell him everyday that I love him regardless if I said it more than once.
He rested a hand on my waist and the other ran through my hair deepening the kiss until we heard Aurora shifting in her sleep over his shoulder. “Dang it. I love you too Y/n.”
Sitting up in the bed I watched Georgie rolling over seeing our daughter clapping her hands together giggling as he tickled her stomach. Running a hand through my hair I cleared my throat, getting him to look me in the eye. “Hey so I looked into that apartment we were interested in a while back and apparently he goes to the gamboling room. He said he would give us a much lower payment for the first few years.”
“That’s great. We could go get Dairy Queen and go check it out.” He smiled holding our daughter in his lap.
Reaching into my pocket of my jeans I gingle the keys in his eyes smiling ear to ear. “I actually talked with him earlier yesterday. He gave us the place already. Basically insisted upon it. Now let’s go.”
Georgie and I got Aurora in the truck a lot quicker than we did in the past. The drive to the apartment wasn't bad. Picking up our daughter in my arms I gave Georgie the key and he opened the door letting me inside first. "Wow. It still looks way bigger than the garage." He chuckled looking around the room.
"Everything will look bigger than the garage honey. But look we won't have to barge in through the house every time me and Aurora have to use the bathroom. Plus there's a tiny kitchen even though we'll probably be ordering take out or going over to your parents for dinner." I exclaimed pointing towards the bathroom then over to a very small kitchen. "Also he actually upgraded us to have a two bedroom apartment. So one for us and the other for babies."
Georgie sits our daughter on the floor letting her play with her pony before quickly rising to his feet. "Babies?"
"I didn't - did I say that. Oh geez it was supposed to be a surprise." Running my fingers through my hair I didn't think it would slip out like that.
Georgie took a step closer taking my hands in his asking slowly. "Is it true Y/n. Are we gonna have another baby?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise at the family dinner tonight when we announced we are moving out. But secrets out so yes. Yes, we're having another baby." I squealed when he picked me up, twirling me around in circles of laughter.
Gently gripping his shirt he finally sat me on my feet where I still kept my arms around his neck grinning like a child. "I can't believe it, babe. You hear that Rora you're gonna have a little brother or sister." Aurora was crawling around on the floor searching around the apartment. I was secretly hoping that the baby would be another girl. But Georgie would probably want a boy to keep the Cooper family name going. "I guess we're gonna have to move our stuff in tonight huh. My mom won't be happy we are leaving."
"Yeah but don't worry she can visit us. Now let's talk about how we are doing the room situation. I think Rora should get the little room then we take the bigger one." Shrugging my shoulders he nodded wrapping his arms around my waist.
Georgie smiled, pulling me closer to his chest. "I don't care I just feel like my wife deserves to be taken out to eat tonight."
"For getting pregnant really? I think I can settle with brisket. We're gonna have to pay rent now." I pointed out that he thought I deserved something like Red Lobster or something way more expensive.
Before he could respond his phone went off so he pulled it out of his jeans answering it. "Yeah what's up…sure we can come get you."
"Who was it…ow?" I asked picking up our daughter from the floor where she pulled on my hair a little.
He put the phone away heading for the truck with me putting her in the car seat. "Missy, she needs to be picked up from practice and both my parents are busy." The drive to the school was fine so we waited for his sister seeing her stomp up to the vehicle.
She slammed the backseat door behind her making all three of us jump a little in the air. "Woah Missy. What the hell is wrong?"
"I got in trouble in class because Heather M was judging you and Y/n. She said you two wouldn't be able to raise a baby or that Rora would grow up to be stupid." Missy crossed her arms over her chest huffing.
Georgie and I sent the other a disappointing look. Even though we had been improving on raising her. We always try our best to ignore the others who thought wrong. Regardless it was still difficult as teen parents. "Heather M shouldn't be in our business. I'd say just ignore her." He told her gently gripping the steering wheel.
She just turned to face the window and the drive home was silent. Flopping down on the bed once we got Aurora settled until we would wake her up for dinner I watched my husband. He was watching her and just leaning against the doorframe. "Georgie?"
"Hmm. What darlin'?" He shook his head when I pulled him from the long stare.
Holding myself up by my elbows I could read what he was thinking by the look on his face. "We can't listen to them, Georgie. Everyone in this town will have their own opinion. But like you told your sister we have to ignore them."
"What if Aurora struggles in school or doesn't finish at all Y/n?" He blurted out a question.
Getting to my feet I intertwined our hands together so he would look me in the eye. "Georgie I promise we are going to prove everyone wrong one day. We are going to be the best teen parents ever."
"Mom! Eve won't give me back my phone!" Lifting my head up from looking at the computer screen I watched my two teenagers come in fighting.
Georgie was off helping a customer in our store leaving me to reschedule any appointments if we were full. "Eve give your sister back her phone." I told her in a warning tone. Our second daughter was named Eve and she had her father's hair color and my eyes.
"But mom, she made me break my phone last week!" She fought back by playing keep away from her sister. Like they were ten years old again.
Rising to my feet I pressed my right hand onto the desk for balance staring sternly at my girls. "I don’t care. Just because you guys don’t have school today doesn’t mean you get to cause problems at your father’s store.”
“What are you gals bickerin’ about?” Georgie came around the corner with me catching sight of a customer walking out with some paperwork for tire’s meaning he had made another sail.
Aurora stomps her foot on the ground throwing her braided hair over her shoulder. “Dad Eve won’t give me back my phone because I apparently broke hers and - is that uncle Sheldon?”
Georgie and I both moved around the corner peaking a little around the wall seeing that she was telling the truth. “Why is he back here. I thought he would never come back?” I mumbled looking up at my husband.
“What the hell are you doin’ here?” Georgie moved forward and I stood slightly behind him eyeing his younger brother in confusion.
“Hello Georgie, Y/n.” Sheldon replied with a nod towards us. Biting my lip I knew this conversation would be interesting.
Comments really appreciated ❤️

It's Okay Not To Be Okay
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As the days flew by your weapon of choice came in it was a two chain linked katana that extended out like a whip made of small curved blades  when  you swung it around. It was elegant,  sleek, graceful and perfect for slashing anything to pieces, your  kasugai crow which you promptly named Yuki landed on your shoulder and cawed a greeting nodding her head which you returned. "Lady Y/N L/N please quickly head north west of here a concerning amount of women have been disappearing Kamado Tanjiro Is already on his way there but your presence is requested as well to make sure things go smoothly"  Yuki murmured as you stroked her feathers. A heavy sigh falls from your lips as you thought about having to be shacked up that chatter box for a couple of nights. "Alright", you sighed defeatedly glancing and set off for the northern area enjoying the silence before the storm, it wasn't long before you crossed paths with  your fellow slayer Tanjiro, instantly upon seeing you he ran over like an excited dog and began talking your ear off which you gave short one worded replies to. He didn't seem to get that you didn't want to talk and just kept rambling on, "it's so nice to see you again, whats your weapon look like what color did it change to when you touched it?" 
He beamed as you turned and glared at him over your shoulder, "do you ever stop talking?" You  snapped annoyed causing him to recoil and laugh awkwardly, "haha I' have been talking alot huh" he said softly and you sighed rubbing your face and regretting your next actions thoroughly. "It's two chain linked katana that becomes a whip made of smaller blades when swung" you explained  with a faint smile and after a brief pause, "and it turned light purple" you finished as tanjiro beamed up at you "wow that's so cool !". He beamed and you fought off the urge to smile at his  innocent enthusiasm, friendship is a weakness your mind echoed  in your inner self reminding you of all the people you loved dearly that were gone forever. Don't let him in keep him OUT you told yourself sternly before speeding up a little bit and bumping into a disoriented boy, he had pale skin that seemed a bit  greyed, his hair short, black as coal as a chilling dark shade of purple with staring at nothing a he looked up past you. "You should watch where you're going" you hissed helping him back to his feet (even though you bumped into him) and brushing him off he gave you a blank stare mumbling a quick "uh", "Mister Kazumi" Tanjiro called and the man turned slowly to him "I want to hear what happened last night from you" the man- Kazumi just stared blankly mumbling "alright then follow me".
He then lead you to the edge of the village between two fences "this is where she vanished" he said a a monotone dejected voice "but I'm sure you don't believe me" he finished you stood next to Tanjiro examining the clearing for something suspicious or out of the ordinary "we do believe you, and we're here to help" Tanjiro spoke earning a eyeroll from you "don't speak on my behalf" you  muttered under your breath "oh" he blinked  "you don't actually believe he had a hand to play in the disappearance do you?" Tanjiro murmured with a tilted head and furrowed brows and you pursed your lips doing a quick sweep of Kazumi, "no" you finally replied after a  moment of contemplation "but you'd be surprised what some people can get up to in the shadows when they think no one is looking".
Tanjiro looked at you confused and it was clear your breath was wasted on him, "look just don't  go trusting anyone all willy nilly that's how you get  yourself in trouble", Tanjiro smiled at you "right" he said before dropping to the floor and sniffing the ground......what the fuck is he doing god he's a fucking weirdo why did I have to get paired up with this  idiot....out of the corner of your eye you caught Kazumi being weird as well caressing his cheek which seemed swollen and crying....gods please don't cry I'm terrible with  emotions....... "got something" Tanjiro suddenly shouted from the ground and took off running without giving any kind of explanation. With an annoyed sigh you and Kazumi gave chase and followed him to the homes where he sat crouched sniffing a wall.  People started to stop stare and whisper about Tanjiro's weird antics and you hid your face behind your palm as you rested you hand at the side of your face "Kamado stop being weird" you hissed through clench teeth but he ignored you and just kept sniffing the ground while you and Kazumi watched on in confusion, soon enough day bleed into night as you still found yourself patrolling the streets of the village "I want you to believe me, me she really did vanish" Kazumi spoke up softly you squinted at him still not entirely believing him but not ruling out demons just yet Tanjiro turned with a confidence and said I know".
He face was serious his smile long gone replaced by a neutral stare "that's why I came here to stop this...we will find the demon who did this" he finished and continued walking  with you and Kazumi in pursuit as the moon rose higher into the night a certain unease settled in the pit of your stomach and your hand rested on the edge  of your blade, Tanjiro must've felt it too because he mimcked your stance...smart boy you completely tuned out Kazumi and Tanjiro as they conversed feeling that uneasy feeling grow...a demon was in the area...you're just not sure where yet and then suddenly Tanjiro grabbed your hand running off again without explaining anything "where are we going now?"
You hissed and he didn't bother answering as you sped through the streets "we have to hurry the scents stronger the demon's active " was the only thing he said  before jumping on a roof, you quickly followed suit wondering how the fuck he knew that but you could question him later right now you had a mission and lives were at stake running along the rooftops the too of you dropped into the same fenced in area as earlier and slide to a stop. You unsheathed you're nichirn blades and dropped into a fighting stance "why are we in a empty area kamado" you asked but he ignored you angling his sword into the ground and striking causing black water to spew forth and spread along the floor which you swiftly backed away from, floating in the water was a hoari and you swiftly grabbed it hauling the girl from the water and jumping back right as a pale grayish purple demon claw extended forth snatching at the rims of her kimono and tearing the fabric. 
"What did you do with the girls you kidnapped" Tanjiro shouted and your lips formed a tight line as you thought it was quite obvious what happened to them, instinctively your hands tightly coiled around the unconscious girl tighter.... never again would you allow a demon to ruin an innocent life...if you could help it...starting with this girl the demon began grinding your teeth and you winced as that sound was very annoying "there are some things I want to know" Tanjiro continued to speak but the demon just glared in annoyance and dropped back into the floor. Shit I can't defend myself if he attacks me your mind echoed as you braced for an attack but right on time Kazumi appeared.
You quickly handed the unconscious girl to him, "hold her and stay behind us" you instructed picking up your weapons again as he just stared "as long as you do that we can protect you" Tanjiro stated walking forward you tensed watching the walls and ground closely suddenly Tanjiro turned in your direction but three inky black puddles formed on the ground as six pairs of arms reached for him Tanjiro was quick to leap out of the ring of demons and swiftly shot forth slashing on of your blades. The blade unfurled itself with a metal snapping sound and swiftly decapitated two of the demons but the third one mange to slink back into the inky pool like a bug and you cursed under your breath. "Wow you're so amazing !" Tanjiro exclaimed with wide eyes as you kicked him in the chest sending him stumbling back and out of the way of the demons slashing claws "STAY FOCUS" you snapped and he flushed "r-right" suddenly the demon growled "BASTARD" reemerging from the inky black water. 
You we're quick to switch position and crack your whip like sword sending it's sharp  point towards the demons throat at break neck speeds but it dipped back into the water "she'll go stale stay out of the way you little punks" the hissed reemerging from a wall to slash at you, but Tanjiro swiftly cut off it's arm, "the girl's sixteen already she's loosing flavor by the second" it screeched in a crazed rant "if I don't eat her soon there won't be any flavor at all" the blood in your veins began to  boil, how dare it? How dare it say such cruel things! the echo of bubbling water sounded behind Tanjiro and swiftly whipped your other sword behind you catching the rising demon by surprise and decapitating it before a word could fall from it's lips, Tanjiro gazed at you in silent  admiration for a moment as you stepped forward "enough games let's kill this thing now". Tanjiro nodded and the demon slunk back into the murky water silence engulfed the clearing as you tried to predict where the demon would come from there was a chance it would go for Kazumi and the unconscious girl...but you we're guarding it so it probably wouldn't risk it, then it could always go for you but you've decapitated it three times already...it was most likely cloning itself and seeing as you've already torn through three of the clones sending more clones to attack you or it'd true form..so that only left Tanjiro.
Leaping forward you cracked you sword and right as the demon reemerged from the ground with it's sharp like talons pointed at Tanjiro's eye but your whip like blade cut cleanly through it's arm making it hiss and screech at you "you little bitch" it spat venomously grabbing your ankle shit I underestimated it your mind  raced in panicked alarm as it began swiftly dragging you into the water but Tanjiro quickly tackled you knocking you out of the demons grasp as it hissed again grinding it's teeth. "You okay?" Tanjiro asked as you both sat breathing heavily you opened your mouth to scold him for taking his eyes off the enemy but quickly wrapped your arms around him rolling him and yourself out of the way of the demons slashing claws from the ground, quickly springing to your feet and slashing at yet another of the clones severing both it's arms and head.
"You stupid stupid little bitch GET OUT OF MY WAY DIE DIE DIE DIE" the demon shouted as all the clones slashed and clawed at you from multiple inky black pools all around but you and Tanjiro fought back to back paring each strike and returning one of your own, "we can't keep fighting like this" Tanjiro spoke over the growling of the demon "I agree but we don't have much of an opening" you countered stabbing one of the clones hands and cutting off it's finger, "I have an idea cover for me" he said with an air of confidence so you gripped both hilts of your swords and began slashing mercilessly through the hands of his clones as Tanjiro dove for one of the inky black pools. Your eyes widened in alarm as you looked at him baffled earning a nasty slash to the cheek due to your momentary distraction quickly cutting through one of the demon clones you rushed over catching Tanjiro by his foot before he fully disappeared into the water and pulled him out, "what are you doing?"
He asked squirming in your grasp "what am I doing what are you doing why are you going in there" you seethed a vein pulsing on the side of your head "we have to kill the main demon and I think in here so I was going to go after it"  you blocked an attack from the demon and glared down at Tanjiro, "we're you dropped on the head as a child that's literally the dumbest shit I've ever heard your going to try and beat the demon in it's own turf while submerged in murky water that it's accustom too....how do you plan to kill it?"
You seethed and Tanjiro looked at you confused with an arched brow "with a breathing style" he said in a tone as if it was the most  obvious thing in the world "AND HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PLAN ON USING A BREATHING STYLE UNDER WATER YOU FUCKING IDIOT"  Tanjiro opened his mouth to protest but then his cheeks tinted pink and a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead "oh yeah you're right...I'm sorry" he mumbled and you kicked him (a little harder than needed) out of the way of the demon slashing claw "don't be sorry use your fucking head you have a brains for reasons". You groaned as the demons claws slashed your thigh. A pained hiss escaped you as you gripped your thigh tearing a piece of fabric from your undershirt and wrapping it tightly around your thigh  "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY" Kazumi shouted shoving you aside as you stood back up tacking a slash to the arm for you, you quickly recovered springing at the demon and decapitating it's head before turning around eyes lightly widening as you stared down five razor claws coming for your eye. Shit it's too fast, I won't be able to react your  thoughts rang through your ears your hands tensed around the hilts of your swords and tensed awaiting the lethal blow, but out of your peripheral vision  you saw a burgundy blur before Tanjiro slashed through the demons arms and it stumbled to the ground backing up to the wall while grinding it's teeth and hissing at the two of you.
Blood splattered your face but you wiped it with your sleeve collapsing onto the ground as the pain from your thigh became a bit too much,  you took a deep breath wincing softly and applying pressure to try and stop the bleeding making sure to pact the wound while watching the exchange between Tanjiro and the demon "are you alright that cut looks nasty and you're bleeding from the cheek" Kazumi murmured drawing closer to you "trust me I've been through worse" you shudder at the memory of being almost swallowed before looking up at Kazumi "sorry we couldn't save your friend" you murmured softly and his smiled fell for a second "it's fine" he murmured helping you up and you smiled at him in gratitude Tanjiro walked over and offered Kazumi  a scrap of the girls clothing and murmured a few things you didn't care to pay attention to.
Instead you carried on (although with a limp) wondering what your next mission would be, "h-hey wait up" Tanjiro called but you would do no such thing and kept walking forward he eventually caught up to touchign your shoulder gently "hey are you ok-" he started but you cut him off by pointing your nichirn blade at him "don't touch me" you hissed and he raised his hands in surrender "b-but you're hurt pretty badly you should let me help you we're on the same side you know" he said with an awkward laugh, "I don't need your help I'm fine on my own" you hissed pushing him forward and limping forward.
Tanjiro followed behind you quietly before speaking up "you know if you keep forcing yourself you're only gonna hurt yourself more...let me help" he pleaded and you turned to glare at him "what part of I. DON'T. NEED. YOUR. HELP do you not understand?" You hissed but Tanjiro was undeterred "pleas just a little bit here let me" he said scooping you up bridal style and carrying you "so help me if you don't put me down" you hissed squirming in his grasp but his grip was strong "you're in no condition to argue with me, you're injured It would be  a bad idea to aggravate any injuries you may have sustained so I'll take you to a doctors to get you all patched up".
 You hissed at him pushing against his face and chest but he was unbudging "stop talking to me like I'm a damn child I don't need nor do I want your help fuck off" he looked down at you with furrowed brows "I just don't get what's your aversion to help, you know receiving help doesn't make you any less  valuable right? I understand you're a fully capable slayer, actually a lot more than capable than a lot of us but sometimes even the best of us need help and this is one of those times", he said in an air of finality that left little room for argument you simply huffed in annoyance at his  persistence letting out a sigh as you quietly  concede but not without rolling your eyes at the smirk that spread across his lips "wipe that smug smirk off your face I wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for you're incompetence". Tanjiro laughed awkwardly "yeah sorry about that" he murmured softly and you rolled your eyes "I told you, don't be sorry be better"  you muttered and Tanjiro sighed "okay" he hummed and the two of you walked in a semi peaceful silence

The final battle to break the curse! Let's rescue and/or fuck up this guy!
Tumblr media
(Alright, be cool. We might be able to handle this civilly. Talk him down. No need for violence. Just be chill and smooth.)
Sucks about your girlfriend.
(FUCK.)
Tumblr media
Okay but, counterpoint: What if you didn't do that? What if, and I'm just spitballing here, we set fire to everything around us?
Tumblr media
My guy, your message has been passed around more than a blunt at a rock concert. Part of that's on you; you never listed a mailing address and we've had a hell of a time tracking down your Return to Sender.
But I'll admit a little bit of fault on our part too. Everyone too busy playing Messenger; Nobody wanted to play Recipient.
Tumblr media
With all due respect, I have permission to be here from who I'm pretty sure is the woman in that portrait. So. Y'know. Why don't you fucking leave? I don't recall her signing off on her property being used like this.
What I'm trying to say, asshole, is that this is a mail call. And the package is an eviction notice.
Tumblr media
Oh wow. She was not kidding when she called you a powerful curse. But you won't fucking stop me! Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds!
Tumblr media
Come on, man. We all have to face the music sometime. It's over. You're not welcome in here anymore.
Tumblr media
Go on, then! Keep shooting. You want Amazon shipping? Huh? You want privatized carriers taking over the industry? No? Then you should--
Tumblr media
Respect your goddamn postal service!
Tumblr media
Don't thank me, citizen. Thank the existence of public goods and services, funded by your tax dollars. Allowing the erosion of those services in pursuit of unsustainable privatization is the real curse.
Tumblr media
And now the whole music box is shaking. That's not a good shaking is it? On a scale of 1 to "Why did I set the music box on fire again" how bad is this?
Tumblr media
RIGHT BEHIND YOU
Tumblr media
Not to be that guy but, uh, are we sure we want to count our chickens while we're standing on what looks suspiciously like a Boss Fight Podium?
Tumblr media
Not the time, Artificer. Let the man catch his breath first.
Tumblr media
Yeah, I've been wondering about your loop. You were living on Mesa Island before the flood even happened. How long did it take for you to get called as Messenger? I'm genuinely curious about how you got roped into all this.
Tumblr media
Oh fuck. See? This is why I didn't want to count our chickens. The curse mask got away. This isn't over yet.
Tumblr media
Sigma!? Is that you!?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then let it all out at once when we break it out of confinement.
Well, if we're all fucked anyway then there's no reason not to go out swinging. Violence, everyone? Because I'm voting for violence.
Tumblr media
What, the golem? I kicked its ass solo. Don't we have something better than that?
Tumblr media
Is it more powerful with six of us?
Fuck it, I'm not hearing any better ideas. Let's do this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IS THAT THE FUCKING ECLIPSE CANNON
Never mind, Artificer! I profusely apologize for ever doubting you! Fucking nothing stands up to the Eclipse Cannon. And, hey, you even made it mobile! So long, one weakness.
Tumblr media
CHOKE ON MY RADIANCE, FUCKWORM
Sorry, I just. I always wanted to say it. This is the best day of my life.
Tumblr media
The postal service always comes through.
Assclown.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What.
Tumblr media
No, for real. What. What the actual fuck.
What am I even supposed to make of this.
What the fuck.

MC's mom: My, my. I knew you were going to see me. Killing those couple. *giggles* Were you fascinated by the scenery?
MC: *starts walking towards her*
MC's mom: That's right. See, MC? If you just only do the things I want you to—
MC: *walks past her*
MC's mom: Huh?
MC: *gets the jar with a fetus inside it* This must be my employer's.
MC's mom: ...
MC's mom: MC? *has a sad expression* How long are you going to ignore me?
MC: *looks at her* Mom, I will say this once again. I will never kill you.
MC's mom: Ha... What?
MC: You're like me, mom. The idea of death is nothing to us.
MC: However, if I really want to hurt you...
MC: I must kill someone else.
MC's mom: *laughs* Who may that be? MC, why would you waste your time when I'm here? *smiles*
-------------------------------------------------
MC's mom: Hun...?
MC: Happy Anniversary to both of you.
MC's dad: *his head got decapitated*
MC's dad: Hun... Save yourself...
MC: Dad, I told you. I know how to keep my promise.
MC's mom: MC... But that's your dad... He didn't— He didn't do anything wrong to you.
MC: Oh... I see now. So you actually treasure him. How nice. Would that make me a child born out of love?
MC's mom: *her tears streaming down her face* MC...
MC: And you know what? I'm so glad your potions are easy to find. Look at dad. He still have a few minutes left even though his head is already detached from his body.
MC: Would you like him as a souvenir?
MC's mom: Y-Yes... Please give him to me—
MC: *makes their father's head explode in their hands* Oops. Sorry. My hands slipped.
MC's mom: MC... This is not what your mom's want—
MC: *touches her face with their bloody hands* No, mom. Trust me. This is the kind of pain you wished for.
MC: I know how much you wanted to feel normal. Pain is normal. Grieving is also normal. Witnessing your beloved husband die in his child's hands is also normal.
MC: What do you say now, mom? Have I made you proud?
------------------------------------------------
MC: *their head resting on Barbatos's shoulder*
Barbatos: *smiles* Are you exhausted?
MC: No.
Barbatos: You can hold my hand too if you want.
MC: No. I can still smell the blood.
Barbatos: It's okay. *holds their hand* *and kisses it*
Barbatos: You were amazing back there.
MC: *looks at him*
Barbatos: Hm?
MC: I wonder if you felt the same euphoria I had when I first met you.
Barbatos: You mean when you caught me dealing with demons?
MC: *nods* Yes.
Barbatos: *smiles* Maybe.
MC: I see.
Barbatos: So what will happen to your mother now?
MC: She will die in a painless death. Or should I say painful because she's suffering psychologically?
Barbatos: *chuckles* Does it matter?
MC: No.
Barbatos: Well then. Let's go? There are things we need to do.
MC: Hm.
--------------------------------------------------
Employer: MC, I want to invite you and your husband to my baby shower.
MC: We're going.
Employer: Really? Wow! I didn't expect that you would agree immediately! *laughs*
MC: By the way, master. Won't it be the last day of work?
Employer: Hmm... Now that you say that, yes. I think it's time for me to settle.
MC: Congratulations, master.
Employer: Thank you! How about you, MC? Don't you think it's time for you to settle?
MC: No. I still need to eliminate some people.
Employer: Are you serious? You should give more time to your husband. *whispers* And make some babies.
MC: ...
-------------------------------------------------
MC: Everything went well.
Barbatos: *who turned back time before their employer and her family died* That's good to hear.
MC: And also, my employer said something.
Barbatos: Hm? What is it?
MC: Let's make babies.
Barbatos: ...
MC: ...
MC: I'm not saying that we should do it now.
Barbatos: R-Right...
Barbatos: ...
MC: You have a boner, dear.
Barbatos: Please don't pay attention to that.

SOMEONE LIKE ME (CHAP. 21) - A STARGLASS ZODIAC X ZODIAC EXPERIMENT CROSSOVER
*dances aggressively*
previous chapter is here
next chapter is here
masterpost is here
tagging @mythicalmagical-monkeyman @hyperfixation-tangentopia @maiawhimsicalt and @sweet-star-cookie
"Memory dives are not supposed to hurt, so please alert me if anything feels off, okay?" Centaurus asked, kneeling down and gently placing her hands over Cassie's. "This is going to feel sort of like hypnosis. Just focus on looking into my eyes and breathing evenly." 
"Okay," Cassie whispered, finding it very hard indeed to look away from Centaurus' many eyes. She could see what Centaurus meant by hypnosis.
"At some point, you will fall unconscious, which is completely normal and a part of the process."
"Okay..."
And it seemed like no time at all had passed before Cassie was drifting off to sleep.
-
"Cassie. Can you hear me? Open your eyes."
Cassie's eyes sprang open, and she frantically looked around at her surroundings. It was exactly what she had seen a couple days ago—the snow-swept forest and the darkness of the night. 
Which made sense, she supposed. These were her memories.
"Wow..."
The scenery, while mostly accurate, was distorted in some areas and was washed out and faded. Centaurus saw the look of confusion and hastened to answer.
"All of this," She waved her hand around. "Is derived from your sensory memory. Split-second stimuli that your brain briefly remembers before filing away. You remember the general picture, but not the minute details. This is why some of this may look strange."
"What we're looking for," Centaurus continued, holding her fist out. "Is for any clues about where you might have been. Sensory memories, though slightly inaccurate, will help with our situation."
The centaur flicked her fingers, and suddenly, the memory was in motion. It was like watching a movie from the first-person perspective—it was rather strange, to rewatch her own memories so clearly.
"Look for any signs or indications that depict where you were. We can rewind or fast-forward the memory if need be."
"Okay," Cassie inhaled, and then exhaled. "Let's go." 
-
It took a while—and a lot of stopping, rewinding, and fast-forwarding—but they eventually reached a point in Cassie's memory that would give them a clue as to where she was before she crossed into the Astral Plane.
They had rewinded all the way back to the moment Cassie had left her own Astral Plane, and they had finally found an old sign that read "Silverton".
"Silverton, huh?" Centaurus asked, waving her hand. The memory zoomed in on that sign. "Interesting. Well, that certainly sounds like a town of some sort, but I'll have to double-check with Aquarius."
She snapped her fingers, once, and then twice.
And suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Cassie was back in Aquarius' lab.
"Oh—oh /wow/." She muttered, fighting the abrupt and overwhelming urge to close her eyelids and go to sleep.
"Here," Another constellation she didn't recognize said, holding up a glass bottle full of purplish liquid. "Drink this. It'll help with the drowsiness."
Cassie gratefully took the bottle and began drinking the liquid. When she was finished, the room still appeared a bit blurry, but most of the exhaustion had passed.
"Thank you," Cassie said, handing the glass back to the constellation. She had black and white hair, with a set of bird wings to match. She looked like some sort of witch—she was wearing a big witch hat, with a veil covering half of her face. "Who are you?"
"Aquila. Advisor to Aquarius." The woman flapped her wings once before folding them to her side. "It'll take roughly thirty minutes for the potion to take full effect, so I'd recommend you lie there for a bit."
"Aquarius, huh?" Cassie glanced over at Aquarius, who was talking with Centaurus—she briefly heard something about 'Colorado'. "That's funny, actually! The Auriga in my world is also Aquarius' companion constellation."
Aquila folded her arms and cocked her head. "Really? How fascinating. Tell me more."
"Well, Aquila and Aquarius both have lightning powers. They got into a lot of fights, but eventually, they agreed to share the skies and now sometimes, they work together." 
"Interesting. I myself don't have lightning powers—that sounds more like Columba or Aquarius. But Aquarius and I did bond over a shared interest: chemistry."
"Really?" Cassie asked, looking around the lab. "I thought Aquarius was your tech person."
"Cetus is actually the person we go to for technology." Aquila gestured around the lab, pointing to things Cassie hadn't seen before—vials holding brightly colored liquid, arrays of test tubes, and bunsen burners. "Aquarius specializes in chemistry and biology. I assist with making different types of potions. I'm currently one of the only constellations that can actually brew potions."
"You're one of the only ones? Why?" Cassie asked, thinking. Potions sounded relatively easy to make, so she couldn't see any reason why others wouldn't be able to do it.
"In this Astral Plane, magic is expressed in specific ways for different people. You can't learn different types of magic—whatever technique you have when you arrive here is what you're stuck with." Aquila fidgeted with her dress ribbons. "It was especially hard for Ciara when she first arrived. For a while, she thought she was just an ordinary human."
"Wow. Yeah, I could see how it would be hard for her," Cassie said. Her eye was an integral part of her—she was born with it and nobody knew its purpose. She grew up with a feeling that it was related to something more—something greater. But she could never figure out what.
At least, not until she met the Zodiacs.
"Cassie! C'mere, we've figured it out!" Aquarius shouted, waving her over with a twitch of her pigtail. Cassie slid off the chair, waved goodbye to Aquila, and made her way over to the enormous TV screen.
"So, from what you've told us and from the weird sign we saw in your memories," Aquarius said as she pulled up Google Maps. "We believe you were in Silverton, Colorado. Why? No idea. But there's a likely chance that you ended up there."
"Which means that's also where Ciara was," Centaurus said. "A strange coincidence, that you both were drawn to this area at the same time." 
"Well, now we know that this area contains one of your portals." Aquarius shut off the multitude of screens, her hair growing longer until it was long enough for her to sit on. "You may be able to go home soon, Cassie."
"Really?" Cassie asked, hope beginning to blossom in her chest. It'd only been four days, but she missed her friends and family terribly—she missed her Zodiacs as well. "That's fantastic news!"
She spun around in a circle, suddenly coming face-to-face with a new constellation—she hadn't even heard them show up. "AGH—!"
The new constellation, who had bright rainbow hair, wiry glasses, and a black face mask, cheerfully waved at her, not seeming to notice how she nearly gave Cassie a heart attack. 
"Chamaeleon," Aquarius chided, the rainbow-haired constellation shrugging in response. "We've talked about sneaking up on people like that."
Chamaeleon made a flurry of hand motions, some of which Cassie could interpret. The constellation ended this barrage with a very rude gesture, which Cassie could definitely interpret. Aquarius sighed. 
"'But it's fun' does not constitute as a proper reason for using your camoflauge skills to scare people." Aquarius waved back and forth between Chamaeleon and Cassie, turning away. "Cassie, meet Chamaeleon. Chamaeleon, meet Cassie."
"Oh—hi!" Cassie tried to remember the sign language Piscis Austrinus had taught her—it seemed like Chamaeleon could understand it when people spoke to her, but she wanted to be polite. "Um. How—are—you?" She signed out, hoping she didn't sign something horrifically offensive.
Chamaeleon's eyes lit up at Cassie's feeble hand motions, countering with more, slower, gestures. /I'm good! How are you? Are you enjoying your time here?/
"She says she's good, and she asks if you're enjoying your time here," Sagittarius translated, walking over to them. He bumped Chamaeleon on the shoulder with his fist, and she punched him back. 
"Oh! Yes—I—am." Cassie signed back. 
/If I might ask, what's the object inside your eye?/
"She asks what's in your eye."
Cassie unfortunately did not know how to put this information into signs. "Can I say it out loud and you translate?"
"Sure!"
Cassie put a hand to her face, cupping the fingers around the eye with the Starglass. "It's a magical object from my Astral Plane—it's called the Starglass. It lets me see and interact with spirits."
/What's it like in your Astral Plane? I've been looking through a lot of books in the library and I haven't managed to find anything about another Astral Plane. Could you tell me about it?/ 
"Jeez, Cami, slow down," Sagittarius whined as he watched her hands intently. "She asks what it's like in your Astral Plane because she's been reading a lot and she can't find anything about another Astral Plane."
"Well, um...the Astral Plane is above the mortal realm, with the Voidlands in between them. The Voidlands are—well I guess I have to explain Void and Light magic first." Cassie moved her hands around frantically as her words spilled out of her mouth. She paused for a second as Sagittarius translated her words.
/Take your time!/
"She says to take your time," Sagittarius said. "Whenever you're ready."
"Okay, okay. So in my Astral Plane, all spirits are made up of a mixture of Light and Void magic. When there's an imbalance of power between the Light and Void magic, the spirit becomes corrupted." Cassie waved her hands around some more, trying to articulate her words. "And then they fall down to the Voidlands, where the biggest amount of Void magic is. Sometimes they fall down to Earth. It's my job to rescue these spirits and help to un-corrupt them."
Chamaeleon's eyes lit up at the mention of corruption. /We have that too! I'm not a Zodiac, so I can't really explain it well, but maybe Sagittarius here could tell you more?/
"She says that we also have corruption in our realm." Sagittarius paused, and then made a face at Chamaeleon. "And that since she's not a Zodiac, I should tell you more about it."
"Ciara already told me some stuff about the corruption here. Uh, she mentioned something about your blood? She said it messed with your mind." Cassie waved her hands vaguely around Sagittarius' head. "And that it made you into monsters?"
Sagittarius furrowed his brows together. "Yep, something like that. Uh, we were created by this being called Eclipse. Did Ciara tell you about her?"
Cassie nodded. "She mentioned her. Gemini and Pegasus, too. Gemini said she was a bit of an asshole...?"
"Yep, sounds like Gem." Sagittarius looked up, over to where Gemini was doing loop-de-loops on her cloud, and shouting at Aquarius. "I'll spare you most of the details, but basically, corruption is a side effect of the Zodiacs' trauma. You are correct, Eclipse's blood does mess with our minds. It brings out the worst in us—it affects our minds and it multiplies the effects of our trauma. If we relive our worst memories, it takes control and sends us into a corrupted state." 
"All that from blood?" 
"It's called orichalcum, and yes, it's insanely powerful. In fact, it's what gives us the capability to even perform magic." Sagittarius unknotted the white headband wrapped around his head. His hair fell loosely around his shoulders, and he began to play with his headband. "Human beings were never meant to wield magic, so obviously there are side effects to trying to make them vessels for magic."
"Huh. So what exactly does corruption do?" Cassie asked. "Like, what happens to you, physically?"
"Oh. Well, it depends on the Zodiac." Sagittarius pointed towards Aquarius, who was now talking animatedly with Pisces. (Gemini was sitting on her cloud, apparently excluded from the conversation) 
"Aquarius and Pisces could probably tell you more specific things; they're the oldest Zodiacs. But we all share some traits in common. For example, our skin will start to turn black, especially around areas where we have scarring. Our eyes will start to change color, either to red or purple." 
Cassie nodded slowly. "That sounds a lot like my own form of corruption! Spirits that are corrupted in my world also lose a lot of their rational thought—they often grow bigger and become more aggressive."
"Fascinating!" Aquarius shouted from across the room, and Chamaeleon signed something probably similar to that. Aquarius all but ran over to give her opinion, Pisces and Gemini following behind her. 
"That also happens in our world—when Zodiacs are stuck in a corrupted form for too long, they transform into what is called a Kaiju form." Aquarius explained excitedly—Pisces didn't look too enthusiastic about the topic for whatever reason. "Enormous monsters with no rationality or logical thought, powerful enough to wreck the entirety of the Astral Plane."
Pisces cleared his throat, and Aquarius amended her statement. "Luckily, all of our information about Kaiju forms are hypothetical—no Zodiac has ever succumbed to corruption enough to activate their Kaiju form."
Pisces cleared his throat again, and Aquarius glared at him before correcting her statement again. "There's some constellations that are more susceptible to corruption...we've managed to negate most of the worst symptoms."
Apparently whatever silent argument the two of them were having was settled, as Pisces nodded tersely and then walked away. Aquarius scoffed, both her pigtails growing up and wrapping around the ceiling beams, carrying her up and away. 
"Good talking with you, Cassie!" Aquarius shouted, her voice echoing throughout her lab. "Gemini will talk to you about the proper procedures to send you back home!"
And with that, she disappeared somewhere into the ceiling. The sound of a sliding door opening and shutting could be heard, and Cassie knew Pisces had gone as well.
"What...what was that about?" Cassie asked Gemini, who was floating behind her on her cloud.
Gemini and Sagittarius glanced at each other, and then shrugged. 
"Aquarius and Pisces are really close, they're basically siblings," Gemini explained. "But the one topic they're split on is corruption. Aquarius thinks corruption is fascinating and wants to study it, but Pisces is...really sensitive about corruption."
"It's cause Pisces is dating Scorpio, and Scorpio has suffered the most corruption episodes out of any other Zodiac." Sagittarius whispered, getting a sharp elbow to the shoulder by Gemini. "A lot of us used to view Scorpio as an outcast because of that—ow! Hey!"
"Shut it," She whispered, nodding towards Cassie.
"Aquarius and Pisces are actually married in my world," Cassie said, changing the subject. Sagittarius' face wrinkled up in disgust, probably thinking about what it would be like if his own Aquarius and Pisces were romantically involved.
Cassie kept thinking. It seemed that Scorpio was intrinsically linked to exclusion, or shame, or disgrace, no matter what form he took. 
She wondered why that was.

The Lemon Legacy: Generation 1, Chapter 13 - A Stellar Start
It's the first snow of winter!
Tumblr media
It didn't snow a lot where Ophelia grew up, so she has some fun. She draws a heart in the snow before working up the courage to go talk to Libby.
Tumblr media
Luckily, she finds her outside and convinces her to build a snow pal together.
Tumblr media
Ophelia: We had a good time at the bar, huh?
Libby: Yeah, definitely.
Ophelia: I mean it, I want to hang out more. Just the two of us.
Libby: What are you... Brr! I wish the Watcher had bothered to put gloves on us.
Tumblr media
Libby: Are you... asking me out?
Ophelia adds the last finishing touches on the snow pal.
Ophelia: That depends. Are you saying yes?
Libby: You're lucky your charisma skill is better than your snow pal making skills. Fee, your hands are freezing! Come here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ophelia: What do you say?
Libby: I say I have tomorrow off and I'd love to spend it with you.
Ophelia: Perfect! I know just the place! I'll pick you up at 10
Libby: Already have something planned, huh? What would you have done if I had said no?
Ophelia: Died of embarrassment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next day, Ophelia shows up at the BFF house, ready for her first date with Libby.
Ophelia: Hi! You ready to do this?
Libby: Hard to prepare when you won't tell me what we're doing!
Ophelia: Well, spin into your cold weather outfit, cuz we're going to the city!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The girls arrive at GeekCon!
Tumblr media
Libby: This is a geek paradise!
Ophelia: I thought this would be right up your alley. You know all about my work but I don't know anything about your astronaut career. I thought it'd be fun for us to work on the rocket.
Tumblr media
Libby: Are you sure? Some people think this is boring.
Ophelia: Everything is more fun with you, Lib. But if you don't want to spend all day babysitting me, we can always play video games or-
Libby: Are you kidding? I never get to infodump about rocket science! Let's do this!
Tumblr media
Ophelia isn't exactly a natural but with Libby's guidance, they make decent progress.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ophelia: Uh, Libby? Are you sure I'm just supposed to whack it with a hammer?
Libby: Yeah, really go for it! That's how you know it's working!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They take a well-earned break, tired from all the hammering.
Ophelia: Wow, who knew rocket science was so easy and accessible?
Libby: I know, isn't it great?
Ophelia: Honestly, I think I could do anything with you at my side.
Libby: Back at you.
Tumblr media
Ophelia: We make a pretty good team!
Libby: Sure do! If the music thing doesn't work out, I'll put a good word in with my boss.
Ophelia: I know this isn't the most traditional date. I hope you're actually having fun and not just humoring me.
Libby: It's been wonderful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Libby knows that shy, sweet animation all too well. Ophelia is going in for their first kiss! Luckily, she has no intention to reject her advances. This is just what she's been waiting for.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Libby: Wow. Ophelia: Sorry! You just looked really pretty and I... I hope that was okay.
Libby: We're on a date, Feefs. Of course it's okay, you queer disaster. Come on, we've done enough of my interests. Let's do something you like too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Libby and Ophelia pop on over to Planet Honey Pop to do some karaoke to a corny ballad. Libby has never sung a day in her life and sounds... less than great, but Ophelia is so smitten, she can barely hear anything over the sound of her own heartbeat anyway.
Tumblr media
Libby: Well that was fun! A little embarrassing, though.
Ophelia: Oh, hush. You were so cute.
Libby: Nice way of saying I'm tone-deaf. Listen, I've got to pack to go see my family for Winterfest but I had an amazing time.
Ophelia: So we're on the same page.

well. what can i say, riku and reina's trial is going to be one of the most emotional ones. also, now we have only one vd left! :D
riku will reveal a lot of information about his crime in this vd and personally, yeah, i think riku's crime is one of the scariest ones here, but also.. i'd be lying if i said that i don't find him sympathetic at least in some way. though the way he acts in this vd is.. yeah i want to punch him also who knows what can happen if he gets voted guilty.. but it's hard to say that forgiving him is a good option too.
(warning for mentions of self-harm)

Eiji: Hello, Prisoner 009.
Riku: Ah, hello! It's my turn to be interrogated, right?
Eiji: Wow, you're so smart, aren't you? Yes, we have only two prisoners left to interrogate.
Riku: I see, I see! You're working so hard, do you even get paid for this?
Eiji: No, but seeing you all beg for forgiveness is the best reward I could ever ask for.
Riku: Haha, scary~
Riku: Oh, hello, Miki-san! Looking cute as always~
Miki: H-hello..
Eiji: .. What did you just say? You know that she's also a guard, right?
Eiji: Show her more respect!
Riku: Okay, okay, sowwy.
Miki: I-it's okay, Eiji-san! I don't mind, really..
Eiji: .. If you say so.
Eiji: So, Prisoner 009, Kuroki Riku. 17 years old, a high school student.
Eiji: We're back to the younger ones, huh.
Riku: Ahaha, yeah, it's probably weird to see a high schooler in a place like this.
Riku: Though now that I think about it, Akio-kun and Aimi-chan are high school students too. And Asahi-kun is only 11 years old!
Riku: How scary..
Riku: Wait, Miki-san, aren't you still in high school too? It must be hard being a guard when you're so young..
Miki: Y-yeah..
Eiji: Ahem. I gotta say, it annoys me just how carefree you are.
Riku: Hm.. Well, to be honest, I don't think this whole thing is like.. real?
Riku: Like, this has to be some kind of game, right? Or a reality show or something.
Riku: It's hard for me to believe that this is actually a real prison. And what's with the voting stuff?
Riku: Nah, I don't think we all are in any real danger.
Eiji: .. Hey, Guard 002, is it okay if I show him just how dangerous we can actually be?
Miki: Calm down, Eiji-san.
Miki: A-anyway, Kuroki-san..
Riku: Ah, just call me by my first name.
Miki: Okay, Riku-san.. May I ask, what do you think about your life in Milgram?
Riku: Hm.. Well, even though this is supposed to be a prison, I've been having so much fun talking to everyone!
Riku: I like talking to Aimi-chan and Akio-kun.. As for the older prisoners, me and Kei-san are very close!
Eiji: ...
Eiji: You being friends with him is already a red flag.
Riku: Haha, yeah, Kei-san can be a little weird sometimes, but trust me, he's a good guy. He's very funny too.
Miki: Well, it's nice to hear that you actually like this place a lot.
Riku: Haha, well, it's not like I really want to go back home anyway. So I've decided that I should have as much fun as I can while I'm here!
Miki: You don't want to go home?..
Miki: Is it related to your crime in any way?
Riku: .. I guess you can say so.
Eiji: Oh, does this mean you're ready to talk about your crime then?
Riku: Yeah, sure, ask me anything you want.
Eiji: Huh, your tone is not so energetic anymore.
Eiji: "Why is he suddenly pulling his sleeves down too?.."
Riku: Ahaha, well, even someone like me wouldn't be happy to talk about the crime they committed.
Riku: But hey, if this whole thing isn't real, maybe I shouldn't be so scared of it.
Miki: So..
Miki: What happened? Why are you here?
Riku: Hm.. I don't even know where to start.
Eiji: Oh, let me help you. How about we start with your victim?
Riku: !..
Riku: Ah, that guy.
Eiji: "Is it just me or his eyes look more empty now?"
Riku: He was a childhood friend of mine.
Miki: .. You killed your own friend?
Riku: Well, I wouldn't say that it was.. uh..
Riku: A healthy kind of friendship, I guess?
Eiji: Was it toxic then? I wonder who was the toxic friend though: you or that guy.
Riku: Come on, Eiji-san, do I look like that type of person?
Miki: So, do you want to say that you killed him because he was mean to you or.. ?
Riku: Ahaha, if only he was "mean" to me.
Riku: .. I never wanted to be friends with him.
Riku: I was forced to become friends with him back when I was only eight years old.
Riku: "Riku, can you please play with him? It's a little hard for him to make friends, he's a bit shy, you see.."
Riku: .. I didn't know that I was supposed to keep being his friend for, like, the rest of my life.
Miki: .. O-oh.
Miki: But was he really a shy person? Was it hard for him to make friends?
Miki: Or maybe he just.. gave up after meeting you?
Riku: Haha, you're so smart, Miki-san!
Riku: That's exactly what happened.
Riku: I told him to socialize more, I told him so many times that if he wants to stop feeling so lonely, he should just go outside and actually try making friends.
Riku: He refused to listen.
Riku: "Oh, but I only need you, Riku-kun!~" SHUT UP!
Riku: .. Sorry for scaring you.
Miki: I-it's okay. Though it was a bit sudden..
Eiji: Fine, we get it, your relationship with that guy was bad.
Eiji: How did you kill him though?
Riku: ...
Eiji: .. Why are you pulling down your sleeves again?
Riku: Oh, this is just something I do when I'm nervous. Sorry about that, I hope it's not distracting.
Miki: It's okay, please don't apologize! Maybe I can do something to help you calm down?
Riku: Haha, Miki-san, you're way too kind. Do you want to make me fall in love with you or something?
Eiji: Just a reminder that she's a guard.
Riku: I'm just joking, relax~
Riku: So, about his death..
Riku: It was his fault. It was so selfish of him to do something like that..
Riku: I tried to stop him, really, I did. Even though I hated him so much, I still was his best and only friend. I told him so many times not to listen to what they say..
Riku: Well, he always was a bit.. weak. He was too fragile for this world.
Miki: .. What do you mean by that, Riku-san?
Riku: Hehe~
Riku: Well, what do you think I mean, Miki-san?
Riku: But no matter what you think about me, you will vote me innocent, right?
Riku: Though I'm sure nothing bad will happen to me even if I get voted guilty.
Riku: Oh, I know! If you vote me innocent, how about going on a date with me after we get out of here?
Miki: ???
Miki: A d-date?? With y-you??
Riku: Is there something wrong with that?
Riku: .. Oh, sorry, are you dating Eiji-san?
Miki: This is like.. the third time someone calls us a couple..
Riku: So you're single then? Cool-
Riku: Huh?
Miki: Eiji-san, let him go!
Riku: Ahaha.. This kinda hurts..
Eiji: Well, I wish it would be much more painful than that.
Miki: Eiji-san, just what do you want to do to him??
Eiji: Oh, you see, I tried to be more patient with him, I really tried..
Eiji: But this guy just kept getting on my nerves.
Eiji: So I thought, maybe I should break his arm as punishment? Maybe even both of them?
Riku: Wait, is this even allowed?
Riku: Haha, this is just a part of the game, right?
Eiji: Also, something about that habit of his annoys me a lot.
Eiji: Just what are you hiding-
Eiji: !
(sounds of Eiji letting Riku go)
Miki: Eiji-san, is there something wrong-
Miki: *screams*
Riku: Ah.. so you saw them.
Riku: Haha, yeah, I do have some wounds on my arms.
Riku: I apologize for scaring you like this.
Eiji: How did you-
Riku: Maybe you should ask Miki-san about it?
Miki: ...
Eiji: .. Guard 002? Did you do this to him?
Eiji: I'm not judging, by the way. If you had to do this to him, I completely understand.
Miki: .. I'm sorry.
Miki: *starts crying* I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-
Eiji: (to Riku) .. Did you do something to her?
Riku: *sighs* I guess I should explain what happened.
Riku: You see, a few days ago I asked Miki-san to get something for me. You know, I just made a request, it wasn't that bad.
Eiji: And what did you ask for?
Miki: .. H-he asked for a knife.
Miki: I'm so sorry, Riku-san said that he wanted to show some knife tricks to other prisoners and I..
Miki: I believed him.
Riku: Haha, Miki-san is so gullible-
Eiji: Where is that knife right now?
Eiji: Oh, I think I can see it.
Riku: What are you gonna do now? Kill me?
Eiji: If you trick her like that again, I will.
(bell rings, machinery sounds)
Riku: Oh, does that mean our time's up?
Riku: I'd love to hear the song this machine extracts.. I was in a band, so I'm really good at singing!
Miki: .. Why..
Miki: Why are you still acting like everything is fine?
Miki: You're hurt! You're literally bleeding and it looks like you're in pain, so why are you-
Eiji: Let me guess.
Eiji: You did this to yourself not because you have mental health problems or anything like that..
Eiji: But because you wanted to make us feel sorry for you?
Riku: .. Hehe~
Miki: But why would you go this far?? I want to forgive all prisoners anyway, so you really didn't have to-
Eiji: Also, didn't you say that this whole "thing" is a game, so there's no point in worrying about your verdict?
Eiji: Now look at you, hurting yourself just to make us forgive you.
Riku: .. What's the point in voting me guilty then?
Riku: IT WAS HIS FAULT! HE MADE ME DO IT!
Riku: WOULD YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE LIKE HIM? SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND JUST USES YOU AS SOMEONE WHO HE CAN VENT TO ANYTIME HE WANTS?
Riku: I WAS TIRED OF HIM CRYING AND SAYING HOW BAD HIS LIFE IS ALL THE TIME!
Riku: SO PLEASE, JUST FORGIVE ME-
Eiji: Prisoner 009, Riku, sing your sins!

Hi this is a question for both Alexander and Natalie, what is one thing that you like about the other person? (It can be a silly answer or an actual serious one, whatever you guys choose)
Hello Anon!
Another dual question, I see. Natalie, you should be grateful my loving and faithful audience has deemed you worthy to occasionally include you in these asks. You're welcome! I believe some small amount of my celebrity has rubbed off on you.
Oh please, no one ever said you were humble, did they? Well, I hate to break this to ya, but there isn't exactly much star power to begin with, little sir! You're only as big as my hand, you can only shoulder so much!
How original. We're going straight for the height jokes. Fantastic. That was a low blow, Ms. Marquez.
... Now you're roasting yourself, I don't even have to do anything. This is amazing!
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. Shall we actually answer this question now? Or are we going to continue to waste this poor person's time and space on their screen with ridiculous banter?
Fine. Alright, I'll wave the white flag. Let's see... Oh, what do we like about each other? Jeez.... Nothing is really coming to mind....
Oh... Right. Yes. I find her rather infuriating most of the time.
Uh huh, we'll see what you have to say next time I give you more pain meds... High Alexander loves me.
You have no proof of that! I still think you're fabricating that entire ordeal!
What I like about him is how easy he is to tease. You should see his little face right now, Anon, he's all flustered and red, it's awesome! No, but on a serious note, I really admire his intelligence and work ethic. He's like... a little machine. He won't stop when he's set his mind on something. It's kinda amazing (and super annoying when it causes you to get stabbed in the eye with pieces of wadded up paper). But, yeah, he's probably one of the smartest people I've ever met, in this adorable travel sized package! It's great! (he just rolled his eyes at me, Anon, I can tell he loved that.)
I suppose common courtesy requires that I respond in kind? Fine, but I'm only doing because I'm being pressured. For the vast majority of our time together, I've found Natalie to be clumsy, bumbling, loud and, honestly rather annoying. But.... I suppose... If I had to say something... I'd say I appreciate her giving heart. She may not always get things right, but she can't be knocked for trying her damnedest. She's been a very attentive nurse of sorts (excepting the bath/smoke alarm incident which we will not discuss here, because I have no desire to raise my blood pressure at the moment) and I appreciate her learning more and more how to handle me with care. I suppose... and this stays between us Anon, I don't mind it when she holds me. It can sometimes even be pleasant.
Wow, you heard it here, first folks. Ol' Xandy gave me a compliment and he didn't immediately burst into flames. Incredible!
Do you see what I have to endure, Anon?
Don't be fooled, he loves it! He'll just never admit it cuz he's a little grouch at heart!
Thanks for the ask!
Love,
Natalie
&
Alexander

"But you're still gonna have to figure out how to be nice to me.” “I am nice. I am like the Queen of nice.” “Maybe like the Queen of ice.” “Ok. Ok. Look. This is my nice face. Ha Ha. I gave you that.” “ So, Garcia” “Yeah, what about it?” “I don't know, is that from the little known blond-haired Swedish Garcias?” “Actually it's from the family that took me in after my parents died. So, thanks for reminding me of that painful memory.” “So what are you doing tonight, chica, huh? Hang out with your Canadian boyfriend that totally exists?” “Ok, he does totally exist. And he's not Canadian. And why does it matter what we're doing? What are you doing, Mr. Tall, dark, and blandsome?” “Just kickin' it with Roxy.” “Huh. Who's that?” “That's my girl.

What was what?” “You paused.” “No, I didn't.” “You don't like it.” “No, I didn't I didn't say that.” “Oh, you might be a profiler in training, but I'm a profiler by association, and I can tell a lie when I hear one, and liar.”

Tumblr media
-12x8
“You couldn't find anything out with all your super powers?” “Oh, ha ha, newbie. It's not like I haven't tried. [...] I'm declaring a dictatorship. You guys don't get a vote. Especially you, newbie.”
Tumblr media
“Hey, you’re forgetting something” “I’m forgetting nothing, newbie”
Tumblr media
-12x16
“What do you want, newbie?” “Still with that? Come on. You need some new material” “Ok, whatever you say El Nuevo. Hunky Newster. New kid on the no, that one's too much on the nose.”
Tumblr media
-12x17
“It was luck. It was timing. I cry all the time. I'm a very sensitive person. I am glad you're here, ok? But I am never going to stop giving you crap, Luke.” “Hey. Penelope.” “Hmm? “You know, that's the first time” “Shut it.” “You call me by my” “Let's be in the moment.”
Tumblr media

“Do not look at me. I have been telling him this is going to sail right over the gentle minds at his seminar.” “Wait, I got it. [...] Garcia's right. That's way too esoteric.” “I told you. Look, just say, "when you assume you make an ass of u and me, because then you can say "ass" in a classroom. Huh?”
Tumblr media
“Cool hand Luke, what you need?” “Wow, I like the way that sounds, Garcia. You feeling ok?” “I am naturally magnanimous in word and deed, and when it comes your way, bask in it. What do you want?” “Listen..." [...] “I am the genie in genealogy. Just rub my lamp. That came out wrong. Goodbye.” “Wow.”

"I think we're the dynamic duo. Come on. Hit me.” “Oh, puh-lease. We will never be a "duo. Uh-uh.” “Well, come on. Admit it. I helped.” “Oh! Heh! You'd have to torture me. You'd have to force me to wear beige, deny me of all things unicorn for me to ever admit that you helped."

“I'm telling you, I don't want a housewarming party.” “What is wrong with you? Who doesn't like ribbon-adorned potted plants and veggie cruditè and hummus with your face carved in it? Do you even fondue, bro?” “We've got bigger fish to fry here. It's life and death, and a housewarming party just seems stupid.”
Tumblr media
“Ok. Methinks thou dost protest too much about this whole not liking a housewarming thing. Where's Lisa?” “She got called away at the last minute to cover night shift, so I guess E.R. doctors come with a perfectly built-in, acceptable excuse to not be at their own parties, even if it was their own idea in the first place.” “As do FBI agents. Anyway, don't be rude. Open my gift.” “Ok.” “Come on. Just open the gift.” “Ooh, ok.” “Yay!” “All right. Well, look. I'm beginning to understand the value of a housewarming party. Thank you.”

“I'm actually calling you with a list of my own. I've got 5 more places the unsub might be targeting next. They're a little lesser known, but they fit the parameters haunted, violent history, right in the unsub's comfort zone.” “Thanks, Garcia. Why don't you give us a call back once you get a handle on Courtney's list.” “Oh, Alvez, have you heard of multitasking? It's all the rage, I'm really good at it, and I'm doing it right now.” “Yeah, I'm sure you were. Don't get me wrong. You're great, but Rossi literally just sent you that list.” “Yeah, well, I'm more than simply great. I'm entirely fantastic.”
Tumblr media
-14x15
“Hey, where have you been? We've all been waiting.” “I was waiting to see if Lisa was gonna have to work an extra shift, and she does, so maybe she'll make it later. Can I please have one of your fancy drinks?” “Because you asked nicely, you can. Oh, my gosh, you guys, did you guys hear? Johnny Mathis is Rossi's best man.” “Of course he is.”
Tumblr media
-15x4
“Oh. Now, should we bring in the rest of the team? Because we do have that holding us up.” “Do you remember, like, 30 seconds ago, when you thanked us? Yeah. We were so young then.” “Anyway…” […] “Alvez will be going with me to Elizabeth's apartment. Now, she says no one's broken in, but I'm not convinced, so let me get her keys so we can check it out. And now we will… Wheels up.” “We're not going anywhere.” “Shut up, shut up. Just because you look like that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with this part of your face. How does Prentiss make this look easy? Ok, come on!
Tumblr media
-15x7
“Garcia, have you found any overlap socially?” “Do I have to start calling you newbie again?” “Ok. So you would have led with that.”
Tumblr media
“So our initial interview with Sean's case worker Brenda Hacker didn't raise any red flags, but she was the last person to see him alive, so I did some additional spelunking.” “And?” “Welcome to the thunderdome. [...] Like, get yourself to Vegas, call your bookie, the fix is in unusual.” “You think she's greasing the wheels?” “Oh, she's lubing them up big time. Uh, stop smiling, Luke Alvez. I can feel it. That joke was not for you.” […] “Penelope.” “New phone. Who dis?” “Thank you.” “You should worship at my throne, Luke Alvez.” “Oh, but I do. I do. You know I do.” “What does that even mean?”
Tumblr media
-15x10
“This is from Lunacorn. Luke Alvez, stop making me like you.” “Ha! Never.”
[...]
“Wait, moving out of here like the Colts did Baltimore?” “Ok, no one knows what that means.”
Tumblr media
-16x1
“You owe me some very short cookies.” “Just admit it, okay? You miss me.” “You know what? First of all, it's gross to talk with your mouth full, and also, I have banned the 24-hour news and doom scrolling, so whatever it is you're talking about, I don't even know and I can't tell you how well that works for me. Who'd you lose the bet to?” “It wasn't a bet.” “Tell JJ I love her, but I can't. No, I just can't. I thought for a second I could, but I can't. You have destroyed my party, but not my day. Take your carbs and exit, sir.” [...] “One time. One time. Once.” “Deal.” “Like, for reals. If somebody is oh, I don't know. Let's say they're taking dead people and dressing them up like like cast members from "Star Trek", I am not helping.” “Deal.” “Okay? I mean it. And if someone if someone just starts killing everybody who shops at Goop because their wife blew her hoo-ha out with one of those eggs made of precious stones, I am not helping!” “Look, we're on a clock.” “Okay. I created "SOAR" to avoid things like this. I mean, users are protected through an end-to-end encryption with a VPN built in on both ends. You have no idea what I'm saying, do you, Luddite?" [...] "Gah! I hate how easy it is to pick this back up! So why are you doing I have a gorgeous life here!” “One, stop slapping me, okay? That's number one. Number two, eh, let's focus on what the UnSub's hunting ground would be, okay?" [...] “It's less annoying when he's not there, correct?” “You just couldn't wait to get started on me?”
Tumblr media
[...] “You know that your office is still empty? You know, the four people that try to do your job, they try to do it from home.” “Have you ever met them?” “Never.” “Do you know their names?” “Sorta. I mean, they're just boxes on a screen.” “Oh, that's weird.” “Totally.” “Is it weird that I kind of love it?” “Define weird.”
Tumblr media

"Good morning, Penelope." "Thank for entering my cleansed lair. Can I ask you something?" "If you're gonna ask me to look after your cat again, I am gonna have to get an allergy prescription from the doctor." "No. But on behalf of Sergio and all senior cats everywhere, we appreciate you putting your immune system on the line like that for him. I've been spelunking into Tyler Green's past... [..] What do you think?" "I think it's a great idea." "And the rumor is you're difficult to work with. Oh, wait. I started that rumor. Hey, we got a case." "Let's pitch Emily after we brief." "Uh, no, you will pitch Emily." "Oh, no, I will not." "Yes." "This was your idea." "Yes, it was, but I brought it to you." [...] "Go talk to her." "Right." "Now's the time. Come on. Let's go." "No, I'm not. You need to go and talk to her. You should tell her." "It's all right." "No, no." "It was your idea." "It's your thing. It's kind of in your house of wheels." [...] "But after your first go around with him, are you sure you can convince him to sit for it?" "I don't..." "Yes is the answer." "Okay, I don't... I'm being honest. I don't know."
Tumblr media
-16x8
"Um, is this all you could find?" "Oh, for now, my liege, but I shall keep digging." "Wait, what was that?" "What was what?" "Like, where's the snark? Like, a comment about how amazing it is that I can tie my own shoes or a question about how I got into the FBI wearing caveman overalls and carrying a big wooden club." "You're funny. That's funny. A club? No, don't be so hard on yourself."
Tumblr media
-16x9
“What were we thinking?” “I don't know. But why? I mean, it's... It's not like this when we're at work.” “Yes. Can I share my truth with you?” “When have you ever not?” “I find it very hard to have a conversation with you when I am not dunking on you.” “That is cold.” “With us, there absolutely is something there, but not that. And you're so great. I'm so great. I know that your person is out there. I know that my person is out there.” “Where? Thank you.” “I don't know. But I hope I know when I find them. And now that I know you're not trying to get me drunk, I'm gonna do so on my own volition.” “Well, okay. Whatever it takes. To finding the right person.”
Tumblr media
-16x10
"I guess, if people didn't, we might all be out of a job, right?" "Yeah. But I... I did catch myself, and I did course-correct. What's that thing... Oh. What's that thing that Emily Dickinson says?" "The heart wants what it wants, or else it doesn't care." "You know Emily Dickinson?" "I... I know that quote."

Part 3
Evan and I walk out into the brisk LA night.
"Brr it's chilly out here" he says. "I didn't bring a jacket. Are you cold?" He asks.
"Thanks, but I'm ok. This is still pretty warm weather for me. Although I do notice it is a bit chillier without the humidity. But I guess I haven't adjusted yet" I smile at him. He smiles back.
"So, where are you parked? " He asks
"Um, I actually ubered here, since I didn't really know the area." I reply
"Oh. Well, we can walk somewhere or I can drive us. Up to you? The only thing around here is a burger joint about a quarter mile east"
"That sounds fine to me."
We start walking. We chat small talk as we near the restaurant. I tell him I don't know the area well and I am loving the different shops here.
"Ha! I was shocked with how many porn shops are around here." He says bluntly. I laugh out loud. "Not that I frequent them or anything!!" He says with wide eyes. He rubs his eyes with his thumb. Blushing a bit.
"Eh, so what if you did. I don't offend easily" I say smiling at him.
"Good to know. Then I can let all my good jokes fly."
"Hey, I have some of my own"
"Oh, good. I hope I get to hear them..ope, we're here"
Evan opens the door for me and I thank him as I walk in. The burger joint is set up to look like an old fashioned diner. Signed autographs of various celebrities lining the wall. "Been here before, huh?" I say as I point to a picture of Evan giving a thumbs up. His burger on the table below him. His signature in the corner.
"Yea, I love this place. It's cozy and super fun atmosphere"
The sign tells us to seat ourselves and Evan puts his hand on the small of my back and lets me go ahead of him. The small gesture sends tingles to all my happy places. He tells me to pick a seat. So, I pick a small two seater in the corner. We are alone and practically sitting on top of each other. Exactly my intentions.
The server brings us a menu and I take a look. We thank her and Evan asks me what I'm in the mood for.
"Holy shit! They have Saunders cream puffs here!" I'm way too happy.
Evan laughs "What is that?"
"Well, Saunders is a Michigan based company and they sell these at the coney island diners we have there. It's a pastry with ice cream in the middle and Saunders chocolate drizzled on top. It's so fucking good. Want to just order that and split it? You have to at least try a bite of mine"
"Ok, let's do it" he says
When the server comes back I order the cream puff and tell her I'm surprised they sell them. She informs me the owner is from Michigan and he orders the supplies to be delivered here. I talk to her way too long about it and Evan just listens amused.
"I'm way too excited for this"
He laughs "I can tell"
We get the dessert and start tearing into it.
"Oh my God" Evan moans. "This should be illegal"
"I feel like I'm home right now" I moan.
"I shouldn't be stuffing my face with something that's going to make me fat with someone totally out of my league. Yet, I don't care at the moment" he chuckles.
I practically choke on my bite. "Uhhhh, I think you have that completely backwards. If that's true about anyone it's you. I would never end up with someone as hot as you.." I shut my mouth. Embarrassed. "Sorry." I blush.
"No need to apologize. Although I wouldn't say 'hot'"
"Well, I meant what I said anyway" I say staring into his eyes.
He clears his throat. "Last bite is yours"
We chat a bit longer and I look at the time on my phone. It's already 10pm. "Wow. It's getting late. I should probably get home now." My face shows my regret for having to end this night. I open my Uber app on my phone.
Evan notices "I can drive you home." He offers.
My head snaps up "Oh, that's unnecessary. You have done enough for me tonight."
"I insist. At least I know you got home safe. Then you don't have to text me that you did. Unless, you just want to text me." A sly smile on his face.
"Hard to text when I don't have your number"
"Let me drive you home and then we can fix that"
I agree. Evan insists on paying and we walk to his car. He opens the passenger door of his black Land Rover for me and I thank him. It's fancy and smells good inside. Something like musk and cedar. I imagine that's how he smelled if I was close enough to him. His voice pulls me out of my little daydream.
"Where to, miss lady?"
I tell him my address and he plugs it into his GPS. I joke that it's probably for the best cause I'm not good with directions at all. That makes him laugh.
As he's driving we sit in silence. I look out the window. I can see him look at me now and then. He doesn't speak. It's not awkward, but I decide I want to tell him something.
"Thank you for your kindness tonight" I say to him. My eyes soft. My face serious.
He turns his head to me and says "My pleasure. But I didn't do much"
"Are you kidding? You turned my whole night around. I can't even describe how I feel." I answer. I look down at my hands. And I see him reach his over and grab mine. He squeezes it. I squeeze back. And we stay like that for the rest of the drive. Fingers intertwined. It feels...natural. Like it has always been this way. His touch is comforting as he rubs my hand with his thumb.
Evan pulls up to my house and puts the car in park. I pull my phone out. "I guess we should do that number exchange before we forget" I say
"I wouldn't forget" he smiles and tells me his number. I text him a heart and we save the numbers in our phones. "I had a great night." He says.
"Me too!" I say with a huge smile. I undo my seatbelt.
"Um. Listen. Can I see you again?" Evan asks me
"I was hoping that's what you were going to say. Of course" I reply
"Really? You weren't hoping I was going to ask if I could kiss you?" His look is smoldering.
I lean in first and he meets me with no hesitation. We look into each other's eyes until our lips are close enough to touch. We close our eyes and our lips meet. His lips are full and soft and they feel like I thought they would. He's warm and the way he touches my back makes me feel secure. My mouth latches to his top lip, then his bottom. Back and forth. When we pull away he's breathing heavily. He looks cuddly in the moment. I kiss his forehead. I want to pounce on him and take care of him at the same time. His mouth finds mine again. It's more eager this time. He grabs my face gently with both of his hands. His tongue darts between my lips. I find it with mine. And we end the kiss with such passion, we both feel lightheaded.
"Would you like to come in for a bit?" I ask
He nods his head yes.

Watching Shadow and Bone Season 2: Episode 1 - I am losing braincells fast
Okay, I finally have time. Let's do this.
Firstly, sorry if I miss some visual details, I am watching it on a very legal site that unfortunately has something of a potato quality.
S1 Intros looked better.
Alina is looking around in her pretty little dream sequence like "My Saints, life is so emo right now."
Sasha, my beloved.
Wasting sickness my ass.
And there is Mal, assuring her that Sasha is dead.
Where did Alina get her new fancy dress, if they've been on a ship since the end of S1? And her hair grew a lot for it being just two weeks... sorry, nit picks, but like... her hair was not that long and it doesn't grow all that much in two weeks.
Oh, look, Ketterdam. Surely, Alina will not face any danger of being kidnapped and sold into slavery, despite there being a million kruge bounty on her head last season.
So, what exactly do they think they'll find in Kerch. At least when they were running in the books, they just wanted to get to the frontier to disappear there. But like, you two don't have shit to your name... ah, I'm barely like 2 minutes in and I'm already rambling.
Oh, look, Kaz arranged them fake passports... somehow. While they were all on a ship.
*stop thinking about the details, stop thinking about the details, or you'll drive yourself crazy*
So, when exactly did she decide to go after the Sea Whip? Why does she believe it's real? Fuck, I'm doing it again.
Ah, yes, let's talk about our plans and identities openly in public where anyone can hear us.
Also, love how this is 100% the opposite of book Mal. Kinda unironially. Book!Mal can go die in a ditch.
So, we're sticking to the stange season 1 plot of Alina being some kind of a clairvoyant, huh?
Or, wait, are they in Novyi Zem? I guess they are. Okay, nevermind my first few points, I am an idiot.
I know season 1 did weird time jumps, too, but this is going to be very jarring.
Oh, look, Inej still not scared one bit of Haleen.
And... that's what happens when you leave town for months on a whim. You dunce.
Oh, look, Kaz's backstory.
Not sure how I feel about this weird twist, but sure, let's see where this goes.
I'm sorry, who did they even kill? WTF is that?
I mean, I know Ketterdam kinda sucks, but that went down way too quickly.
And Kaz trying not to lose his shit because he's surrounded by people. Well, at least that's book accurate.
Love how the guy next to Jesper is staring at him like "bro, who you talking to".
Okay, what the fuck is happening.
Oh, look at that, we are not completely ignoring that Kaz and co. got hired to kidnap and sell Alina. Well, her side of the story will, but hey, at least it's not completely glossed over like the fucking maps.
Okay, excuse, what the actual fuck is this? What in the name of hell is Nikolai doing. I am confused and not in a good way. I feel like we're missing... a lot of context. Like, a lot.
Okay, so let me get this straight... the way that they get around the "Crows planned to sell Alina into slavery" plot line is... by retconning it so that Nikolai was behind it all along. For some Saints-forsaken reason. Well, Alina is still dumb as bricks, but okay I guess.
Fjerda made ship-art. Of Darklina. For their bounty poster. (Or is this part of the whole retarded "Aleksander is working with the Fjerdans for some reason" plotline.
My question is where they got the visual reference from since everyone except for Crows and Alina-and-co. got murdered.
Kaz, mentally: Jesper, you idiot.
Wow, look at that. Room like for a queen. Wonder where they got the money from. Definitelly an upgrade from the bed-bug infested group room of the book.
At least take your fucking shoes off you barbarian!
Mal is down for travelling the world. Wow, they really pulled a full 180 on this bitch, huh?
Ew. Just ew.
Thank the Saints for cockblocking fishermen. I will vomit if they go any further.
Kaz, screaming internally: Shut the fuck up Jesper.
Oh, look, we still doing the whole "paying with jewelry got her tracked down" thing. Just, slightly less retarded.
Hold up, are we saying Jesper and Kaz are having the conversation now. Like, come on, they've worked with each other for a long time, there's no way this didn't come up before.
That is way more than 20 seconds, just saying.
Oh, look, another Alina dream sequence.
Okay, so is that like a Tether thing or is she just having prophetic dreams? If it's the Tether, how does Sasha already know what Mal is, they spoke like 2 times. If it's prophetic dreams... why though?
Language barrier? What language barrier?
Ravkan Grisha? Of all places? Is she talking about the pogroms that happened after the Fold expanded? Cause if I understand the timeline correctly, there's no way the news have spread that far, yet.
I mean, even in Novyi Zem, Grisha are not safe, in the books. There might not be society-wide prejudice, but there's also not any protection from, you know, slavers and shit (or at least not enough). Ravkan Grisha might be soldiers, but that's not exactly an uncommon profession in this world.
(calm down. You can rant later)
Please tell me this interaction isn't the reason Alina is going to go "All lives matter" on her Grisha status.
Also, how come the maps are marked in Ravkan? Again, language barrier is not a thing here.
Alina being the most suspicious thief ever.
Also, ehm, what the actual fuck is that map doing?
Wow, look at Alina, definitelly not attracting any attention with her summoning.
Why are these two talking about it... in the library of all places?
Also, I'm pretty sure public libraries with all this quantity of information available to just anyone were not a thing until the early 20th century, which the Grishaverse is most certainly not.
Dear god, this is so dumb.
Who drew that shit that it's so accurate that the people actually recognize her by it? At least when she had the physical collar in the books it made sense why everyone recognized her.
Mal being no less suspicious about asking about this shit.
For some reason, there's First Army here. Is that Bohdan from season 1? Why the fuck is he of all people in Novyi Zem?
I know the plot needs to move forwar, but this is a bit too many coincidences for my taste.
Mal's doing parkour, because we've gone 20 minutes without an action scene and if nothing happens for too long, people will start to question our dumb-fuck narrative choices.
Also, the question stands. Where the fuck did Mal and Alina get their money.
Not that I am a big fan of the King's army, but like... just shoot him. He's gonna hang for desertion, anyway. You had a gun to his head, already.
And look, how much of a badass Mal is, taking down a handful of soldiers of equal training without much trouble.
Really... you're trying to stay hidden and you've just found out there's a massive bounty on your head and you... summon in a square full of people.
I don't know why I'm bothering to use my brain anymore.
Random Zemeni people decide to protect her because... she's a Saint? I guess?
Zemeni people believe in the Saints, I guess.
Okay... let's see if they can at least write a convincing sibling dynamic when they don't intend for those two characters to fuck.
Tamar sounding far too 21st century and that's not how people talk, in general. (I say as if I talk to people).
As much as I love the bounty posters, I do have to say, I don't get how they have such a good drawing on them so quickly.
Why is Inej stealing random people's knives?
They killed Haleen. Off screen.
I mean, I guess that's one way to avoid Inej's absolutely amazing, very important and already ruined by last season revenge moment. However...
I am not saying this just because they changed the story and I know they needed to include them again, since they did last season, but like... I don't trust these writers to do these characters an ounce of justice. Or make up an alternative story that makes even a little bit of sense.
And there's still 20 minutes of an episode left. FML.
Okay, hot take, I liked book!Pekka more. This one is far too much of a cartoon villain and not in a fun way. Kaz was the one for whom it was personal. Pekka was just doing business. So, either Pekka is being pupeteered by someone else (which would make the level of too complex and dumb to work conspiracy way too high. Like, it already is, but this would be over 9000) or they really made Pekka into a cartoon villain who would hunt down one guy for a single (fake) million kruge job.
And just like that, everyone in the room went deaf.
Oh, look, Wylan. He's baby.
Inej somehow got caught sneaking in the shadows. Book!Inej would be disappointed.
Ah, yes, asking a random stranger to help break your boyfriend out of the most secure and shitty prison in all of Kerch, like, right now, something which took a lot of planning and a lot of work in the book.
(stop comparing it to the book, we know it was better, you'll drive yourself crazy)
I think telling them you're innocent when you're being dragged into the cell is... a little pointless?
I am still asking the money question.
And that's Sturmhond's ship, isn't it?
Ew 2.
Dear god, they're still using the fucking pins. They didn't have to. They could have completely avoided it. They didn't have to do it. I feel personally attacked by the inclusion of the pins.
How does Alina not realize the boat people are after her, too, right now, is beyond me. Like... my dude, my lass, nobody is going to put their life on the line for one shitty pin.
Are we getting Sasha. Please tell me we're getting Sasha being the best leader and the best character, please, I need a little bit of common sense before I lose my shit.
So... the first army is doing the sham trials of Grisha. And Aleksander is going to save them. And he's still the villain and not the monarchy. Okay. Sure.
Is that Genya?
Tell me, if this is what happens, how in the hell is she going to join Alina, who is supporting the King.
Please, tell me the show is gonna go for a "Fuck the monarchy" twist.
The First army is laughing as they're preparing to murder a bunch of innocent people. I think it's only fair that I cheer on once Sasha and the Nichevoya tear them to bits.
It's Sasha to the rescue!!!!! Hell yeah.
Now that is a hero's entrance. Moi Soverennyi!
Ah, yes, time to catch up.
Oh, look, Alina being a dumb bitch finally but her in the ass.
Well, not really, we know it's Nikolai, but Saints I wish it did.

Pale 6.z
I love these diagrams in the extra materials. They've come a long way from simple circles. But the notes are right that the whole thing feels icky.
You do realize I’ve been working on toying with hearts since I was four?
:|
Actually, makes me wonder about her interactions with Ms. Graubard. She was being the opposite of endearing there, wonder if there was a deeper motivation? Or did she just not care.
others might hate me but I don’t care. I target the people I want and I win them over.
So who was she winning over in that class?
“I think about Louisa every day, Chase.  To remind myself of what I need to do."
practitioner families suck! I wonder if this was gendered, or just about not living up to expectations
I can try to play smart for teachers like Raymond and be the whiny child for the substitutes that don’t know how to teach,
ok, still not entirely sure why she wanted that, but it was deliberate
I’ll study hard and I’ll do as the family needs, and I get money and clothes and training in exchange. Better deal than most get.
She's not wrong, but man that's a low bar. The practitioner world desperately child protection laws.
Gods this whole conversation is fucked! I wouldn't even know what bits to quote. Eugh. Years of resentment, a very hierarchical family. And Chase is feeling scared enough that regrets are coming to the surface, trying to reach out to his little sister. But Fernanda is very aware that they don't actually have a close sibling relationship, and that the power differential sits between them. Just painful and uncomfortable to read.
“You’re not in my good books, Miss Throop,” Fernanda said, quietly.
Making sure this is quiet, so none of the boys hear. Doesn't make Fernanda look weak or unaware for having more boys show up than expected, and being unhappy about it. Doesn't embarrass Laila by scolding her in public, which might create a grudge. But calling out Damaryon publicly, making a show of her strength, putting pressure on his friends to either make him apologize or draw back from him, putting Fernanda in a position of authority over their group. Also implying that Fernanda is the arbiter for offenses against Laila, and that her own revenge is something Fernanda grants Laila. She's good at this.
“You’re my best friend.  Why wouldn’t I?” Laila blinked a few times.
was not expecting that one, huh?
She’d given Laila nothing concrete, but she’d gotten a pledge in return.  It was the product of months of establishing friendship, from last year until now, that let her set that into motion.  It didn’t matter that Laila was her best friend, because it helped her feel like she was inching toward a better place. 
yeah... I noticed how quickly things went from "I can help you with social stuff, because we're friends" to "Promise you'll back me up" to "If you teach me, I'll forgive you"
“Prettier, richer, more powerful people win more.  That’s a lesson.  It’s not a nice lesson, especially for those who are less pretty or wealthy, but I’m personally very fond of imparting it.”
lol
A way to score a huge win for the family, elevating all of them, and simultaneously free himself from all of the immense expectations that had been chasing him in recent years.
Man, Bristow is good at this
We stop being even a facsimile of a family. But all of us are happier alone. Except me.
oof. Guess that explains why he was so desperate to make a connection with Fernanda
“Very well,” Alexander said, his voice level.  “I hereby name you forsworn.  For filial promises made and taken to the grave by the other party.”
oh. wow.
“I would.  I might not like you in the slightest, but forswearing as a practice should be left well in the past.”
... yeah. I get that being able to hold people to their word is important, but forswearing is brutal and there doesn't seem to be a way out of it.
“It may have been hollow. But in these cases, a promise can be made and broken,” Seth said. “I may be gainsaid, but among her last words to me were her wishes that I had a good life ahead of me. And her expressed forgiveness and love.”
good to have confirmation that the person a promise was made to can forgive it being broken, and that prevents forswearing. I suppose it gets harder if the promise isn't made to an individual.
She forgave you, but it was not for her to handle the broken oath, then. I had taken on that responsibility by then. And I will not forgive. The universe has not seen you forsworn because I have been in firm custody of it, judgment pending.
well fuck
Nicolette shook her head.  “The open future clause.  Is there a feasible future where you could fulfill the oath?”
Nico's doing pretty well as an impromptu pro bono defense lawyer
“I would give Seth Belanger my protection for the time being,” Nicolette said.  “I would take him into my custody, and be a shield between him and the world.”
and she's a hell of a good person, despite everything the world has pushed her to be. Oh, there's plenty that can be done with someone who is forsworn and has no defense left, and I'm sure this wouldn't be entirely altruistic, but as Charles said near the beginning, even if he was taking on curses every day for Kennet, it would still be a good deal for protection.
“Do you think he’s the only one I could forswear, right here and right now?” Alexander asked.
oh fuck. Even if he doesn't right now (and I don't think he will), he's holding a blade over their heads. And after Seth they all know he's willing to drop it.
“Okay!?” Zed asked.  “No, Ray.  You’ve let a lot slide before, but this?”
he let a forswearing slide before!
“I think virtually every parent of a child at this school would agree a teacher should be suspended for a time after forswearing a student, until things can be assessed.”
ah. That's how he's going to use this
“Alexander shouldn’t be suspended because, number one, you probably planned that all along, and number two, he’s hot, in an older guy sorta way, and it’s a tragedy to lose that.”
love this terrible defense
And Laila, who had so recently made promises, trusting their friendship was more important than practice, visibly diminished.  If she wasn’t gainsaid now, she would be later.
well fuck. that poor girl.

Congrats on 13 years on T Clive, pop off king.
hrreeklwnnfdddddcchhhhh so many names. ok ok so iron and dhalmek are fighting. and woeld(??) got asked to help dhalmek and they said lol no. and empire?? (which empire???) sent assasins after iron's shiva. i'm having to pause every 10 seconds. shiva's ice and cape and stuff could have been more translucent.
I do think its interesting how the entire backdrop of this game is resource scarcity driven political conflict. like rosaria is invading iron for resources because it itself is in threat of collapse. also nice to see that the "good" king isn't all that good.
wait wait the crusaders and empire are different factions?? ugggg im so confused. i heard crusaders and holy kingdom and put those together but the crusaders are from iron kingdom? wait if iron hates dominants how'd they get shiva.
did rosaria invade and annex jill's kingdom too?
wow they family dinners these people must have. brother's love and admire each other and are also a little jealous of each other. mom hates clive and dotes on joshua but is also trying to appeal to dad. dad is tired.
sanbrequois? they're french??? ah so this is the empire
oh shit. clive is ifrit? so the one he wants revenge on is himself??? thats juicy. so those indestructible ancient ruins can be destroyed by eikons. hmm i cant tell there was definitely something up with clive and the hooded figure and ifrit but then we got a 3rd person pov of ifrit killing pheonix.
yikes
i was wondering how he ended up an imperial slave. given he was the archduke's son he could have been a political prisoner and he's important enough for his name and face to be known, but nah anabella sent him to the frontlines.
one tattoo is for the magic people, what the other for? clive still has his pheonix abilities even though joshua is dead is he actually a bearer or did people just think he was because of the pheonix abilities.
kill those soldiers or we'll kill these children. sounds like a terrible deal
for supposidly being his dog we don't see enough of clive interacting with togul. its always jill carrying him around or that old woman petting him.
this si starting to remind me of smt neutral/genocide route where you kill everyone from every faction. factions are still confusing me are royalists sabrque or waleod
i lost the plot. we're searching for some dominant in a village in imperial territory and getting attacked by... waleod? iron? thank you ign so royalist are waloed
ooooh i was getting branded and bearer confused which is easy to do
why's cid after the dominant? recruitment? counter to clive's revenge. stir up a bit of trouble for the bigger nations? well benedrikta has been harassing this one village and kidnapping the bearers
cid's going to die isn't he. he's too good. and he has mysterious japanese coughing blood disease aka fantasy tuberculosis
ok the titan dude. the woe.. woelda?? king dude. cid. damn girl keep them wanting. this game is just benedrikta and every man she's had sex with. i never even watched game of thrones and im starting to get why everyone is comparing this game to it. gotta milk that M rating.
i have ... reservations about benedrikta's character writing. also cid's right why do you have to go and fight garuda clive. leave her be. you start hearing voices and your instinct it to listen to them. bruh.
the environments are really pretty I'd totally mod out combat and have a nice walking simulator
ok damn clive did you have to kill her for the crime of being in your way
ok yeah i was starting to wonder if the hooded flame man clive was seeing and the one benedrikta captured were different people
the devs didn't hold back huh sex scenes. clive bare ass naked in a dungeon. why is he naked you found him with clothes on.
cids into men. thats 2 comments now one from a villager who thought clive was warming cid's bed and now cid calling clive pretty but not his type.
on one hand before ifrit killed pheonix i was thinking oh maybe the brothers reunite after 13 years. and then ifirit stuck his hand through phoenix and beat him to a bloody pulp and i was like yup dead. it would make some narrative sense if joshua was the hooded man but eh i dont know if i like it but i also dont know if i like having joshua just die like that.
it is joshua. joshua main character moment. evil cursed brother with the potential to destroy the world. well phoenix did revive his entire health bar once during the battle.
either testing for bearers at birth is an imperial tradition. or clive wasn't a bearer when he was born. both interesting implications. 3rd option is anabella decided to make clive's life even more miserable.
martha reminded me does clive look hella like his dad. people in ros...e...lin? might actually recognize him.
cid how old are you that you're calling clive lad and boy or was clive originally scripted to be younger?
squeenix... its ok for a woman to look middle aged. she's still beautiful.
wait wait wait. normal people cast cast magic in the deadlands but i thought the whole thing with bearers was that their powers weren't tied to the mothercrystals. also ... jill and clive are both dominants. are all those powers dependent on the land's aether?
xiv pulls a kingdom hearts. this i wasn't quite sure but now im pretty sure. clive seems to think the hooded man he's seeing is the same as the one everyone else is seeing (joshua) but theres really two of them. the one he saw 13 years ago speaking a strange language is not joshua.
the writers make jill's entire character motivation for 13 years protecting the women taken from rosaria by the ironmen but then drop that on the ground the moment she meets clive?? Those Women didn't stop being captive just because they stopped being on screen.
cid took credit for benedrikta's death? ooh politics!
joshua phoenix fire, jill shiva ice, benedika garuda wind, forgot that guys name titan earth, cid ramuh lightning, prince dude bahamut light, eastern king guy odin dark. who is the 8th? no water leviathan?
