“Oh--! Will you hand me my scarf?... It’s already been to the dry cleaning once! Ahaha!” 

Of course, it was by accident that he lost his hold on it. What was supposed to be a quick switch for his scarf ended with a gust of wind blowing the article of clothing in the other’s general direction. 

Where it was now....?

“If you don’t mind...”

“You... There’s something about you, isn’t there...?”

He just couldn’t put his finger on it... But it was almost the same as before, wasn’t it? Ah.. Well. That had ld little to do with him now.

What did it matter in a place like this?

“Never mind. I may have been mistaken... But if I may ask... Who are you?”

“Whoa--! Your teeth...” 

After only catching a glimpse of them, Ryoji couldn’t help but be a tiny bit curious.

“Are they real..? They look very sharp!”

“You’ve certainly been here a long time, haven’t you...? You’re the same one I met before, aren’t you?--”

“People come and go a lot here.. Have you been here this entire time? I wonder how many things they’ve put you through...”

[txt] dude [txt] did you ever get your scarf back [txt] did my spunk wash out of it

TO: Dave FROM: Ryoji [1/4] Hello, Dave!  [2/4] Yes, I did. Thank you! [3/4] Don’t worry, it’s good as new now.  [4/4] How are you?

[apprisings-blog]

He knew it was sudden but to speak this way.. It was pretty strange. He was only ever this honest with them. And their friends, to some degree. Because they were the ones who understood what they should have done-- Even if he was hated in the end. But being here in this city, who he was didn’t seem to matter... Speaking freely didn’t seem so bad. 

“It’s the truth, unfortunately. I believed something that was false for so long... And the truth was... Scary.”

Just listening to the other pained him... They didn’t know each other well at all. Really, the two just met. Before that game they were nothing more than strangers... So maybe it was odd of him to feel sadness for this person so easily. “If your normality was worse than fighting... I’m sorry, Dave. Admittedly, I am a little curious... Being taken from one world to another-- It’s just like this isn’t it? Hive City?.. Just how many worlds have you been to? Ah. Maybe now isn’t the time for that.” A laugh and he took a sip of his coffee. It was still a little too hot-- 

“It’s funny, isn’t it? It almost seems as though those who are young and full of life are forced to fight at times. I don’t understand that. Aha.. Well it might be something we have in common, Dave. Though... I was part of the reason they had to fight.”

    ❝fabricated? bro thats way harsh.❞ Your voice takes on a genuinely sympathetic edge, despite your somewhat comical words.  ❝dude that sucks im sorry. i mean. it was good that you could spend some time being happy and all but still jesus christ thats…❞

You stare out the window for a moment, thinking.  ❝i guess…i mean it wasnt like our lives were fabricated but we got sucked outta our old world and forced into a new one. and we kinda had to give up our real normal lives for a bunch of fighting. i dont know how you feel but i can kinda relate to being taken away from normality. even if normality where i was from was way worse than fighting a weird game construct war.❞

“Actually... Two someones.” Though he had not met one in his own world previously... Ryoji was sure that they were one in the same. So he would acknowledge them both. “But no.. I don’t believe it was anything like that. I’m not entirely sure what our relationships were. I just knew that they are important to me.” 

He’d give everything for them, after all.

Truth be told, his neck felt a little bare now. It made him feel somewhat lost! He’d had that scarf since his humanity was first given form. But he ignored that for now. It wasn’t as though he wouldn’t survive without an article of clothing, after all. 

After their mildly embarrassing stop at the dry cleaner’s, Ryoji lead the way while making some conversation along the way. Just some. It seemed that a few topics would be better saved for a quiet setting.

“Hm? Oh, alright. Where I’m from.. It’s nice. I didn’t get to experience it for too long, however. Just a few months of happiness-- But being there... With them. It was everything to me.” Which was why... “I’ll be honest with you, I lived in a blissful ignorance. I didn’t remember anything for so long... What I knew during that time was fabricated.”

    ❝someone in particular huh. like a girlfriend or boyfriend or something? or do you do the troll thing where you have really close platonic friends. because thats pretty great too ngl.❞

You walk quietly for awhile. Depositing the scarf at the dry cleaner’s is as embarrassing as you thought it would be but it doesn’t last long. Soon, you’re sitting in that Sector Five coffee shop Ryouji mentioned, and you’re sipping your cider thoughtfully. 

    ❝so whats it like where youre from. like. whats your deal.❞

In his own country, Death can be kind.

“That, in it’s own way, might be true.”

“Death can be kind... It’s a nice thought, isn’t it? Maybe then Death could give as much as he takes.”

[apprisings-blog]

“OH! I see-- Well. Just be more careful next time! Don’t be too embarrassed. It’s something natural for any young man--! The splash zone should have warning signs just in case.” 

“I don’t have too many friends here either. I’m not sure if they’re here anymore... The ones I met last time and the ones I know from home. One person in particular is someone I’m waiting to see again-- Ah! But yes. Let’s go, hm? Maybe we can get something to eat as well! I know a small coffee shop in sector five that’s pretty nice.” 

     ❝i mean like dude full disclosure i didnt ACTUALLY…do your scarf…like i took it from you to continue the bit of me being married to it and as an unfortunate consequence of me having it in my room it got…into the splash zone.❞ God. Fucking. Damn it.

     ❝but yeah uh. i had fun talking to you too. gay cats and all. and yeah i guess i kinda want to hang out with you more anyway since youre basically the most solid dude and i dont have too many friends here yet. so yeah uh. now that everythings all…cleared up…lets get going.❞

[apprisings-blog]

“Of course! I had a lot of fun talking to you during the game. The cats were cute too! But, really-- Don’t worry, alright? I just didn’t think you’d consummate the marriage between you and my scarf... Haha!”

“That you did! But I would be happy to pay for myself! Either way, I’ll take you up on your offer. Coffee sounds nice. Thank you for inviting me.” 

     ❝aw dude…thank you. thats a big fuckin relief tbh i was worried this would ruin shit for us. still itd be cool if youd let me take you for coffee or s/t after the dry cleaners. my treat obviously since i already…treated myself…❞

[apprisings-blog]

“The dry cleaners? That’s a good idea, Dave! If you’d like, I can go with you-- That might make it less embarrassing?”

“Otherwise... I’m not sure. I wouldn’t ask too much of you. I want to consider you a friend and this hasn’t affected that desire at all so don’t worry about it!” 

    ❝uh well i mean i can send it to the dry cleaners…which would be embarrassing but it can be done. uh. what else can i do to make it up to you?❞

indiemitchell:

You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast.

You are going to break your promise. I understand.

You’re lonely too.

It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be.

I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable.

I am your servant.

I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, I am debased.

For you alone I will be weak.

I belong here, and you will not deny me.

I say these things, and the world listens.

I do not tolerate a world emptied of you. I have tried.

In the dark, I have pored over the loss of you like pale gold.

I will not let her speak because I love her, and when you love someone, you do not make them tell war stories.

I moved the earth and the water for you.

You will always run away with her.

You will always lose her.

You will always be a fool.

You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear.

You have already done all of this and will do it again.

No one should be judged for loving more than they ought, only for loving not enough.

We look terrible to you, and severe, and you see our blood flying.

What we carry between us is hard-won, and we made it just as we wished it to be, just the color, just the shape.

There need never be any rules between us.

Let us be greedy together; let us hoard.

Do not leave me, swear that you will never leave me.

I am selfish. I am cruel. My mate cannot be less than I.

Sleep with fists closed and shoot straight.

I can’t abide a poor liar.

You look like a winter’s night. I could sleep inside the cold of you.

Oh, quit that. Blushing is for virgins and Christians.

Scold me; deny me. Tell me you want what you want and damn me forever. But don’t leave me.

Bad luck relies on absolutely perfect timing.

In his own country, Death can be kind.

What is the world but a boxing ring where fools and devils put up their fists?

Men die. It’s practically what they’re for.

I am no one; I am nothing.

Nothing in me was not made by you.

A revelation is always the end of something. It might even be cause for grief.

Just tell yourself a story that’ll satisfy you and pretend he told it.

Forever isn’t bright; it isn’t like that. Forever is cold and hard and final.

I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived.

If you want to kill yourself, do not use us as your knife.

What did I do wrong? Was I boring? Did I ignore you?

Don’t you dare speak to me like that.

I have worn nothing but blood and death for years.

I have fought all your battles for you, just as you asked me.

I have learned not to cry when I strangle a man.

I have learned to watch everything die.

I am not a little girl anymore, dazzled by your magic. It is my magic, now, too.

Are we not devils?

No one is now what they were before the war.

I have not seen you without your skin on.

Close up your head; your brain is getting loose.

We obsess. It’s in our nature.

I’ve a devil of a habit for being right.

In war you must always choose sides.

If you try to be a bridge laid down between them, they will tear you in half.

We are all dead. All equal. Broken and aimless and believing we are alive.

My old bones will follow yours soon enough.

It is better to be strong and cruel than to be fair.

I will see him with his skin off before I agree to fall in love.

After love, no one is what they were before.

I have survived, but I have not been spared.

In the space of one heartbeat to another I loved you and I was lost to you.

Frighten me, make me cry, only come back.

It’s not so bad, my darling. Being dead. It’s like being alive, only colder.

You’ll think it’s love, while he dines on your heart.

You will be so beautiful when you are old.

I cannot keep you and I cannot let you go.

You will live as you live in any world…with difficulty, and grief.

I look at you and it is like my throat being cut.

She said you’d come and I swore to eat your heart.

I still want to kiss you.

My heart is being cut in two. I cannot bear it.

What happens to anything beautiful?

I have to know, I have to or else you will just rule me until the end of everything because you know and I do not.

“Honestly, it’s probably better that I’m here rather than home. I don’t think I could have brought anyone happiness there.”

“Oh! What kind of guy would I be if I didn’t notice someone so stunning? It’s a shame you’re taken but I’m happy for your fellow-- Maybe a little jealous of him too!”

“... Wait, what? Hot... Boys? Do you really think I could charm another man?” 

✂ — “Awwww, thanks for noticing! Sadly for you, I’m taken, fella. But it’s an honor just to be nominated!”

“Don’t let me dissuade ya from following your dreams! There’s a lotta hot boys just waitin’ to be charmed!”
