Radioapple week: Day 4 (Bonding(?))

I'm currently obsessed with the "Buckshot Roulette" game and decided to make a silly (hopefully not too deep of a lore but I dont trust myself to not make this shit deeper) Hazbin Roulette AU with Alastor as the dealer and Lucifer as the player.

I may or may not will make more of this in the future, maybe..

[robynator]

re-read some of the scenes in russian roulette and i have to say, i find it hilarious how much of a hypocrite john rider is

john to yassen: forget about your grandfather, family is a weakness that can be used against you by your enemies. oh you're carrying a watch that used to belong to him because it reminds you of home? weak. get rid of it.

also john to yassen: i've been married for three years and have a kid on the way. yes, i am wearing my wedding ring in your presence, despite the fact that you are a baby assassin in the making and i keep telling you that sentimentality is a weakness. and now i am going to meet up with someone that is definitely not my wife, but don't tell rothman, ok? i'm not supposed to do that on a mission so this is super secret

john to yassen: assassins do not have preferences. your preferences can get you killed and if you make a habit of ordering the same food or drink at any place, that can be used to find you

also john: *orders grenadine on every possible occasion & has a habit of drinking his special whiskey after a successful kill*

dude really said ”do as i say, not as i do”, while never acknowledging that he went against his own teachings in the first place, all the while gaslighting yassen with the whole ”i am not advising you to leave scorpia, i just don't think that you are cut out for this line of work, but of course the last thing i want to do is dissuade you, i'm just saying that you can leave not that you should” thing. he is SUCH a manipulative bastard i love him

ok so we all know i like pondering the neathbow right. i have another update on my theories on cosmogone and viric’s practical uses but first i would like to present an idea concocted in tandem with @uniquezombiedestiny

picture for me a honey den. filled with honey-mazed writers and drunk bargoers you need to barge past. that’s not what you’re here for. you’re going into the backroom. word of mouth says that’s where the off-the-books shit goes down and obviously you want in. you’re a poor londoner. you could do with the echoes.

you walk in and there is a table, rotating slowly on a bearing, and four other people waiting inside. there’s someone trying to barge past you and you let them, watching as they take their seat. it’s a confusing set up — six mirrorcatch boxes on a rotating tabletop, and a man dressed in a dapper suit encouraging you to take a seat. he explains the rules: one box is filled with echoes and nothing more, the rest are filled with various neathy lights. it’s a hefty price to pay (god knows he needs it to keep this charade up) but you fork up the money and sit down.

once you do, he immediately starts the table spinning with a firm throw that you think might just send the table off its bearing. seeing the boxes whizz around in a blurry ring makes you dizzy enough to be sick. you look at your compatriots — none look back. they’re staring at the boxes. you see a purplish hue manifesting in one gaunt woman’s eyes, and some golden streaks in a young boy’s irises. one man seems a bit greener than the rest and can scarcely keep his head up. another is rubbing their head, as if there is something stuck in it they must itch out.

the table comes to a creaking halt. you are presented with your box. there is a clear hesitation when you pry the lid open, as everyone else does.

thank god it’s just money.

you stuff your fists full of the stuff. the woman next to you screams. you will never forget the cry of irrigo. those screams are too harrowing, too primal, too instinctually protective of one’s most vital organ to forget. the greenish man has collapsed into a deep slumber; the young boy is staring feverishly at his hands and seems a little prettier than before; the gaunt woman is clawing at her face desperately as if tearing her skin off would quell the pain beneath her skull; the itching man rubs at his forehead and scratches at the back of his neck like there is a bug chewing on his skin; the only people not worse for wear are yourself, clutching a handful of money, and a man who has a strange swirl of purple and red in his eyes. lucky — the effect is net zero. he can afford to play again.

you stare at the money littering your palms, and look back at the dealer. so can you.

I like the divorce au because that means claude was planning to bomb her girlfriend's ex husband

she never stopped trying to bomb him even after the whole domestication arc. he's the road runner to claude's will-e coyote, if the roadrunner's main defence was catching the coyote's bombs, throwing them back at her, and getting both of them banned from ever being in the same room without supervision

[skrunksthatwunk]

just finished s2 of kaiji and it was good i really liked it but i hope i never see that fuckass pachinko machine again!!!

[psychicvoidtale]

He wants to play Russian roulette, would you play with him?

RULES:

You and he will have a shotgun in front of both of you and a box with random things (handcuffs, beer, cigarettes and knives)

He lets you choose if you want to start first, if you take a while, the first one will do things, if he shoots three with real balls and dies, you win, if the same thing happens with you, he wins

The handcuffs are so you can't do anything (basically lose turns) the beer makes you recover lives just like the cigarettes, the knife is to break the tip of the shotgun

obviously based on the game buckshot roulette

Good luck

sen mitsuji. 35. non-binary masc. he/they. ┊┊ cerberus corp has been watching SASAKI HIROJI.  some of the public has dubbed them ROULETTE because of SPACIAL JUMPING gifted by NEARLY BEING SHOT BY DEBT COLLECTORS. having been an extra ordinary since 2014, they’re doing a good job at hiding MIGRAINES, SICKNESS, AND SLOW DISINTEGRATION OVER TIME. when they aren’t working their day job as a COURIER, they are fond of GAMBLING and are never seen without THEIR LUCKY CHARM. at first glance they seem EASY-GOING & LOYAL, though their close friends know them to also be FLAKY & VIOLENT. they consider themself a CIVILIAN.

001.  GENERAL

name:  sasaki hiroji nicknames: roulette ; hiro age:  thirty-five date of birth: july 26th, 1988 zodiac:  leo place of birth:  osaka, japan current residence:  with his brother. ( or wherever he drops. ) gender:  nonbinary masc pronouns: he / they sexuality:  bisexual with a masc pref. occupation: courier. if you need it transported, he's the guy to call. he works with both villains and heroes and all in between.

faceclaim: sen mitsuji. height:  6ft. tattoos:  his throat ( anatomically correct exposed muscle & bone ) ; patch work sleeves and torso of whatever the fuck the tattooist wanted to do. spider on his hand with TRUE LIES on his knuckles. piercings:  bridge ; lobes ; tongue ; medusa distinguishing features:  his tattoos & foul attitude

positive traits: loyal, curious, perceptive, relentless, problem-solver negative traits  blunt, violent & volatile, chaotic, flaky, addictive, problem-maker. likes : his brother, his friends, testing his limits, math, sweets, dislikes: getting caught, working, fears:  losing his brother. hobbies: gambling ; music ; card games ; partying ; getting into trouble. habits: gambling, barging into people's space with no respect for boundaries.

002.  EXTRA ORDINARY

[ NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE ]

if hiroji could cast the blame on someone, it would be his father.

money just slipped through his fingers, real and tactile one minute and the next — gone. & hiroji inherited those fingers. he also inherited his love for gambling. the wheel spins and spins and spins and you could be fortune's favorite! you could win and be on top of the world. slippery fingers and gambling are two things that work very well together — if you're the house playing.

not if you're the guy who stacks debts up like cardboard boxes.

& you really don't think that much of it. you just need enough to cover the next bill, the next meal, the next whatever it is that's shadowing your doorsteps. just enough. no more, no more! and you'll pay it back, you're good for it! if you can play just one more game, you'll get all the money back. you're good for it!

until they catch you.

hiroji could find the patterns. he could identify the numbers, find the card and count it back. he was good at it. and then he got cocky.

and then he got caught.

that's how it happens. snowball effect. it works until it doesn't, until you're rolling down the hill unable to stop yourself and nowhere to go from here.

& of course, they wanted their money back. all of their money. their father borrowed to pay for his addictions and hiroji did the same. every time that paycheck hit his hands, he was at the slots, the tables, the houses. money turned into water in his hands. his brother kept a steady payment, working himself to the bone. they wanted something better. people always do.

they finally had enough. they wanted their money now. hiroji's excuses ran out. hiroji wasn't afraid of dying and they knew this — so they threatened to kill his brother. the both of them facing down the barrel of the gun and the only thing hiroji could think was ... if he could reach him, he could take that bullet for him.

if he could just — reach — him!

when the bullet hit the gas main, when the fire exploded, when that threat of losing his brother was almost a reality ... the world just winked out.

power…  he can jump anywhere that he can calculate in his mind. If he's been there and can see, there is no issue and short distances are the easiest with little to no strain. the longer the distance, the more strain on his body. if he cannot see the location but is aware of it, he has a chance of missing it such as jumping miles away and he will suffer migraines, fainting, nausea / vomiting, and, in extremely rare cases, aphasia. across seas / countries / into space is a no go.

he can take other people with him when he jumps if he is touching them but they will always suffer the consequences of migraines and sickness if they go with him. inanimate objects seem to do alright as far as he can tell.

drawbacks / vulnerabilities…  hiroji, when he jumps, leaves behind particles of himself that lock onto the location. he can relock onto those particles and jump there again. with every jump, he loses bits of himself. the more he jumps, the most he loses. over time, his body will simply stop existing and be scattered. at the moment, he is unaware that this is a consequence of his power.

(if applicable)  cerberus corp… 

his brother works for cerb but he is like suck my dick and bamfs out.

codename…  he picked it up along the way.

003.  HEADCANONS

rambler a gambler a back biter sooner or later god's gunna strike him down

004. CONNECTIONS

heroes! he is heavily sought after by cerberus to join their ranks! and he thinks cerb should suck ass! fun cat and mouse of game of trying to get him to join the ranks! he also has a contract w cerb for transportation usually relating to small, minor missions! ( looking at you level iii )

villains! he works for villains too! he's a good tool to have in your pocket but it'll cost you and you do have to deal with his sparkling personality.

idk he's silly dumb and extremely violent what more do u want

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT DANGANRONPA SO BADLY

[nanashi1869]

tcomc adaptations have to stop being cowards and not make albert into a naive kid snuggled up in bubble wrap. let him be unhinged and with zero fucks to give.

[im-tired-101]

they would NOT fucking have communication skills that good

[ccaptain]

The fact that H:SR Kaeya has a lot, and I mean, a LOT of things that have implicitely had an impact on him (deaths of loved ones first of all, and other nightmare scenarios like the Liminal Laboratories one) yet seems so cheerful and completely carerfree in some of his friendships, relationships and ?ships makes him seem well-adjusted.

You won't see the hurt side of him unless you drag the truth out of him. That's when concern for what he has gone through starts bubbling to the surface, because he isn't human, sure- but even a being has its limits. How much is he gonna gliss over or make a vaguely funny joke and laugh sheepishly at it? How much can he take before he breaks?

He's not eager to find out. But he wants to push his limits- one truth may erase him, as far as he's aware, or perhaps there are no truths that will undo him as a being. He's the only one who wants to find out.
