I'm gonna be semi-offline for a bit, likely catching up on the WBK manga ( you can see a post i made on my mumu here )

But moots are always free to add me on dis'co'rd to talk about anything! Im not the most responsive especially when im tired/worn out like this, so I'm sorry in advance;

[autumnalintellectual]

Nirei is such a like, adorkable character. I genuinely can't wait to see how he is by the time WBK ends.

[autumnalintellectual]

He shifted himself slightly closer, finding himself sitting half cross legged next to the other as his other hand found itself on the other's shoulder. He was a little smaller than Sakura, both in height and in frame, so his arm was a little stretched - though it provided ample leverage to be able to keep his friend at least a little more still.

Nirei couldn't help feeling a little amused though. It wasn't as though he felt a need to laugh at Sakura, but something the way the other seemed to be begrudgingly accepting his fate to be cared for - it was just cute. In a way that he had the urge to hold and squish the other's face in his hands. ( If he wasn't afraid to get hit, anyway. )

" Be slow, get it over with... I don't see how those two things aren't mutually exclusive! " He's smiling, but he did lighten his pressure with the hand holding the disinfectant, carefully clearing the cut. Almost, it seemed, he wanted to take his time with this - but he didn't want to torture poor Sakura. " I'm almost done and then we can get a bandage put on you, yeah? Bear with me just a little longer. I promise, only a little more. "

Sure,  he  felt  bad  that  the  other  was  helping  him  so  much.  But  he  also  couldn't  help  but  want  to  run  away  from  this.  The  pain,  the  feeling  ---  the  burning,  He  wanted  to  die  from  it.  But  ignoring  the  feeling  for  a  moment,  he  kept  his  eyes  looking  away.

"  I  can't  help  it!  It  hurts  and  it's  stinging!  ---"  he  was  whining,  he  never  whines,  but  it  was  hurting  a  lot  more  than  what  he  normally  could  take.  Sitting  there,  he  closed  his  eyes  for  a  moment  and  took  in  a  deep  breath  for  a  moment.  He  knew  he  had  to  get  this  clean,  and  he  knew  the  other  was  doing  his  best.  Moving  his  hands  to  his  jeans,  he  gripped  them  for  a  moment.

"If  I  can  take  the  hit..  I  can  take  the  stringing...  Just  ---  be  slow  about  it."  he  said  lightly.  almost  embarrassed  knowing  that  he  was  acting  like  a  child.  This  might  be  one  of  the  worst  ones  yet.  Even  with  how  he  was  acting,  he  knew  his  body  was  going  to  give  out  on  him  a  little  later.  He  felt  like  it  might  be  one  of  his  sleepless  nights.

"  Just  get  it  over  with."

The other's reluctance was endearing in a way that he couldn't quite put his finger on. It drew a smile right out of Nirei as he held up the disinfectant soaked cloth. No one liked this process - who would? It hurt and it was ultimately very uncomfortable.

" You don't have to flinch so much, Sakura. " He brought the cloth to clean a particularly bad busted part of the other's cheek near his eye, where the skin had folded and bruised, before he moved up to a busted part of his eyebrow. Akihiko could feel his friend's reluctance and hesitation in the way he reacted, the instinctual tilting away. " Jolting around is just gonna make it hurt more, or worse, start bleeding again - so hold still, okay? "

He really did want to make sure Sakura was well taken care of - this was one of his closest friends and his class captain after all - and while he couldn't do anything to help in the moment of battle, the least he could do was make sure cuts and bruises wouldn't last or get infected.

" Tell me if it's too much and I'll stop for a bit. "

[autumnalintellectual]

Nirei's kind of out of it today, doing that listless sort of walking around, not particularly paying attention to anything specific.

[autumnalintellectual]

Nirei preened slightly under her praise, letting out a boyish laugh as he rubbed at the back of his neck bashfully. He really hadn't done anything special, especially since the others - looking at Sakura specifically - tended to get the worst of the cuts and bruises on them. It was also just a relief that his teacher didn't seem all that angry, at least on the surface. He didn't want, and didn't need to be, treated like some pitiable child.

" Really? " His eyes seemed to light up at the prospect of learning that particular skillset from her. He couldn't fight but, oh, healing he could definitely do! This was more plausible than her teaching him to fight with a sword at least. " Where would we start? Do I have to start learning plants?! I can do that! " Out comes the notebook again.

@autumnalintellectual continued!

Akihiko's handiwork of tending to the cut above his eye was examined, to make sure there was no sign of infection. Nix was impressed by how well he cleaned and closed it using the proper bandage! She couldn't help but have a proud smile on her face.. Even though the other part of her made a mental note to find out who hit him later. Class 1 was under her care and so, like anyone would expect out of a motherly dragon, she would protect her clutch.

"I believe you. I see no sign it was caused by a demon but you did a fantastic job in tending to this cut.. How about you let me instruct you on how to be a Doctor? We can start with expanding more on your knowledge of basic first aid before getting into the more complicated material." Working with herbs to make medicines and potions that work against demons and their curses was a lot to learn. At least learning the human basics helped in that area. The silverette gave a happy little hum as she brought up a hand to gently ruffle his hair. "You're quite talented, Akihiko!" She never had an apprentice before but it was bound to happen eventually!

This nerd was definitely an accidental pen hoarder in Junior High. " Can I borrow a pen? " And then the pen eventually joined the growing pile of pens he's consistently left at home.

@electricea asked: 📦

Send 📦 and I'll describe up to five items of clutter in my muse's home/office/personal space/etc!

He doesn't have an office per se or any separate place for himself really and he tends to keep his room pretty clean, but there are a few things that clutter his space -

Pens. There are so many pens scattered around his room in various places outside of his bags and penholders. They're never on the floor, just in ridiculous places like his window sill or in his bed.

Partially used notebooks. Shelves and shelves of partially used notebooks. A bunch are also on his desk and nightstand. While his important one is always on his person he has so many extra.

[autumnalintellectual]

Apprehension prickled in his entire body and he physically balked at the idea of following through with this torture - especially after that almost theatrical display of power and ability. He had to hurt someone. He had to potentially kill someone, just because this stranger - this entity - wanted to teach him some twisted lesson in futility?? Tears pricked at his eyes as his fists clenched harder, his face - it itched, and although every part of his body was screaming at him --

Akihiko stood.

He couldn't breathe. He could barely feel his fingers anymore. His breath felt staggered as he raised his head just enough to see the person before him, who lay on the ground with his own breathing shallow and labored.

Why him? Why did he have to be the one to do this?? Would Sakura hesitate? Would Suo? In his head, the both of them would have tried to fight the stranger by now - but he couldn't. He was too weak.

" That's something I don't think you understand. " His voice didn't feel like his own, hoarse and strained. But still, words flowed. " Things happen, this world is shitty in all it's flaws - but you don't have to make me do this, you don't have to do anything. You're not some god or some arbiter of the world. Because as unkind or uncaring as this world may seem, it also doesn't care what you or I do, in any form! Isn't that right?! "

The blonde's eyes now looked to the stranger, as he moved to stand above the grounded man between them.

" In the end, what you're doing to me has no consequence because the world will just... keep.... spinning. " He bit back a shake of his shoulders. " But to me, to the people I know, life is only worth living if you believe in yourself and stand by what you believe in, no matter what the world throws at you. "'

Akihiko is trembling, shaking with the effort to keep himself together as he raised his foot. His head is spinning and the world seems all the more blurred and rough at the same time than it had before. He can barely hear himself talking over the rush in his ears. The only thing he feels is the bite of his nails into his palms.

" So know that I only do this to survive, and not because some asshole with a God Complex told me to!! "

And it was then, that he slammed his foot down.

"No." He stated in a indifferent tone of the other.

"You don't get to know WHY. This is simply happening to you. As it is should. You must learn this as all living things do. The universe is uncaring and unkind. It will give you choices you cannot control. Choices that you must suffer through. Think of me as nothing more then a force of nature in this moment." His eyes were as cold as ice not ounce of emotion on his face.

"And don't even think about trying the coward's way out. No I will not spare anyone if you give yourself up to me. No weasling out of it. You make a choice and you learn to live with it. That is very nature of existence given form." He explained.

"Choose. Stomp this man and possibly kill him....or I kill someone in your little gang. This is your choice. If you want to blame anything blame your own weakness. The universe only cares about out comes. Both you and I are but, tiny specks in this comsic game. And you can be more then you are now. You can grow beyond your mortal means. If you are frustrated and feel wronged then you must grow stronger so this doesn't happen again but, for now...."

A spark of green energy surged through his right arm his cracked and twisted into what looked like horror. The flesh, muscles and bone twisted his arm into massive bone blade that replaced his arm. It was like something out of resident evil. His face didn't even change expression even though transformation of his arm sounded painful.

"Make your choice or I will make it for you."

@patetpluvia asked: CHIRON

ASTROLOGICAL HEADCANON MEME.

[ CHIRON ] what does your muse do to cope ? are their coping mechanisms healthy, or do they lean into bad habits to get through tough times ?

For Nirei, coping is finding other things to focus on - be it focusing on becoming someone who can deal with whatever just happened, or just clearing his mind. It's usually the former rather than the later.

Taking notes on his friends, or people that interest him - that in and of itself is a coping mechanism he developed. Perhaps he or others could learn from those notes. Perhaps if he writes it down he's learn from it. From their motivations, their stories, their techniques - after all, that's how you learn academically - and how else is he supposed to learn to protect himself and others...?
