"That's fine, but I'd prefer to work alone. I'm not exactly the type for group projects." Far be it from him to admit a personal flaw, but it wasn't exactly hard to piece together anyways.

After injuring Kimberly, there were precious little children who didn't stay a full ten feet away from him.

Save for Kel, an obvious harassment campaign that he was strangely allowing of to some. Aubrey of all people probably knew why, though.

Breaking Kel's arm wouldn't do anything to shut him up.

"Do you have any particular opinions or needs towards the amount of damage I should inflict? Oh, and do assume I will exploit the upper limit within your allowances."

If she said 'go all out', he'd really have to commit to it...but she wasn't going to say that, was she? She was a normal, troubled teenager.

Faraway town was full of all sorts, and that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing all the time. Today, though, it made her shudder — all sorts meant there were creeps like him, after all. All sorts meant this fucker, who took some sick joy in the idea of her breaking another kid’s arm and leg, roamed around this town all the same.

Still, perhaps Aubrey herself was the cruel one. It was her suggestion after all — and while she took no joy in the idea, she nonetheless accepted his terms. All it costed her was…

“An arm and a leg. Got it.” Not hers, though. If it was hers, maybe she’d feel a little less bad about it. This was one of the few things she had that she could do, though. … it wasn’t like Aubrey was particularly skilled in much, nor well-liked around town. While this would surely tarnish her reputation further, it wasn’t like she had a good one in the first place.

“Yeah… There’s this guy who’s trying to blackmail me. I don’t want my friends finding out about it, because I don’t want anybody I care about to get involved, or in his line of fire. I just need someone else who can threaten him — I don’t think I’ll be enough on my own.”

Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Hah, so she did have something. This was interesting. Though it was possible he needed to control himself more if the girl had figured she ought to target Daisuke.

And she clearly didn't like what she was offering, but it wouldn't make her uncomfortable if it was an empty offer. She would do it.

"One leg, and the opposite forearm." That would look more attractive than a wheelchair. "And I want a video. Though that can just be after his leg is taken out, to make it easier for you."

"What a horrible person." There was something satisfying in imagining that being thought of him.

Attention. Even peripheral attention. He was someone Aubrey needed to worry about, a problem for her.

"So? There's quite an issue at hand you need solving, no? Rest assured, you'll have my full cooperation." She'd gotten what she wanted, and, however she might feel about it, a greater amount of Ken's respect than she previously had.

@indentedheartner // continued from here

Ugh. Aubrey really, really did not like this guy. But she did need his help. And… she did have an offer, though it really felt like making a deal with the devil. No matter how she sliced it, in this situation, she was going to be mean. She was going to hurt someone. And it was going to be on purpose.

“That kid you like picking on, Daisuke or whatever. I’ll break his legs for you.” She does not make eye contact. She looks away, closing her eyes. Wincing with the thought.

But the thing was, she would do it. She would hate it, but she would. Aubrey was that desperate.

[indentedheartner]

"we need to get out of here ,  come on ."

[ dire straits ]

Ken had never been particularly obedient in the heat of the moment. He went with whatever course of action his instincts picked, which could at best coincidentally be the same thing Mari wanted.

He had never had it impressed upon him that it was vital to listen. His brother was erratic and emotional most times he made a demand of him, and his parents didn't notice him.

Today, something had changed. Well and fully changed.

They had moved beyond calculated respect and obedience.

Ken's survival instincts said 'listen to Mari'. Not to decide if she was right or if he wanted to. The best decision for himself was to just listen to Mari.

He took her hand and followed her without a moment's hesitation.

CELESTIAL BODY

YOU ARE A SATELLITE

you are an intuitive and analytical person, capable of translating the unfathomable into the comprehensible. you seek knowledge and experience and are willing to venture to attain it. satellites make space into something concrete that can be shared and interpreted by those who will never see it. you are able to make sense of that which is frightening or abstract. you know how to make something not fit for consumption digestible. you’re the one willing to do the nitty gritty work—to get up close and personal until you understand how something works. you’re not afraid to ask why? the way your mind works is an enigma—calculated yet open to all the different possibilities. you notice the small details that slip by most. you are the feeling of discovering the mistake you made in a math problem then finally managing to get it right. the feeling of someone remembering your preferences even if you only mentioned them once. the feeling when something finally clicks in your brain and it all comes together. you have a tendency to investigate, just for the sake of making sense of things. people like to be understood and that is one of the things you’re best at. you’re good at making people feel seen. not just in what they say or do, but who they are. you are orderly and logical, but still benevolent. grounded in reality but still able to see beyond. you don’t care what people think about you—you’re too focused on your goals. people are astounded when you manage to accomplish what was previously considered impossible. they can count on you to see things through even if you are a bit of a perfectionist+procrastinator. you’re striving to be great and know that, that in itself means something. your accomplishments aren’t the only thing that make you worthy. sometimes it’s enough just to show up and be there. make sure you’re taking care of yourself and don’t let your ambitions consume you. progress is progress, no matter the speed and it's important to recognize how far you’ve come. your strong sense of self and attention to detail make you a stable object in a ever-shifting universe. i hope all your hard work pays off and that you’re proud of yourself.

"I never thought I’d say this, but… I could use your help." -Aubrey

[ enemies to allies ]

"I doubt you need it elucidated that I'm not a particularly good samaritan, pinky." Not that he was, in and of himself, completely unwilling to help others, but she did not strike him as such a dullard that she wouldn't understand what that entails.

"Your offer better be worth my time." Though he was honestly interested what her impression was of his desires, that she would think she had something worth offering him.

❛ You don't seem like yourself. ❜

❛ If you wanna be in control, you can be. ❜

❛ Is this really how you see yourself? ❜

❛ Do you remember why you hate me? ❜

❛ The things that you're roasting me for are the things that make me dangerous. ❜

❛ How long have I been here? ❜

❛ Call me "nosy," I'll cut out your tongue. ❜

❛ Can you put on some clothes? 'Cause you... 'Cause you're naked. ❜

❛ Do you remember pain? It kind of tickles, doesn't it? ❜

❛ Maybe I can't kill you, but I can make you wish you were dead. ❜

❛ I am not the only one that wants to see you dead. ❜

❛ Ugh! It really warms the heart. ❜

❛ You don't have a heart. ❜

❛ Be sure to tell the vengeance-seekers I said hi. ❜

❛ That's why I saved you from the spell you were under. ❜

❛ Wherever you are, a coven there shall be. ❜

❛ I feel really optimistic about this. ❜

❛ So you're a bit of a kook. Every witch has their process. ❜

❛ Witches like you are the reason people think we poison apples, and steal children, and eat babies. ❜

❛ Don't you miss the glory days? ❜

❛ The path you're currently on leads nowhere. ❜

❛ Hey! Where do you keep your jade eggs? I'm fresh out of marbles, and my pelvic floor is all over the place. ❜

❛ I haven't seen you since I made a really pointed effort to never run into you again.❜

❛ Historically, we as a group don't do well in courtrooms. ❜

❛ People like you are dangerous. ❜

❛ Are there any real witches in the house? ❜

❛ What a team of rejects. ❜

❛ This is just a really, really, really horrible party. ❜

❛ It's giving "middle-aged second chance at love" vibes and I'm here for it. ❜

❛ Okay, so a witch is really just another name for a bad girl, is that right? ❜

❛ I'm not saying that I wanna join the club or anything, but I would drink the blood of a virgin if it would smooth out some of these wrinkles. ❜

❛ So the hallucinations seem chill. ❜

❛ I can't protect you! ❜

❛ I do not wanna die here. This is not where I die. ❜

❛ They can take your power, but they can't take your knowledge. ❜

❛ I didn't think you had it in you. ❜

❛ We were supposed to look out for each other, but we didn't. That was our fatal mistake. ❜

❛ I wish we could go home. ❜

❛ People can't be replaced. ❜

❛ Are we in trouble? Like, more than we were ten minutes ago? ❜

❛ Honestly, I don't know how to feel. Do I hate her? Or do I want her phone number? ❜

❛ I'm feeling impatient. I'm feeling like I wanna cause some damage. ❜

❛ Once vengeance is loosed, you can't reel it back in. ❜

❛ The only way to end a curse is to face it. ❜

❛ Sad is better than angry. ❜

❛ You don't have to know a person's name to know who they are. ❜

❛ Are you really defending a noted serial killer, you creepy lurker? ❜

❛ The moral of the story, kids, is always finish what you started. Also, mercy is overrated. ❜

❛ Who better to commune with the dead than someone who's put so many in the grave? ❜

❛ I mean, or we could just slit her throat. ❜

❛ But we were getting along, weren't we? We were clicking. There was unity. ❜

❛ She's possessed! For real this time! ❜

❛ I hate ghosts. ❜

❛ Why do you hate me still?❜

❛ You were born evil. ❜

❛ Please take me with you. ❜

❛ She was protecting you. But you don't deserve it. ❜

❛ I couldn't... I couldn't control it. ❜

❛ Death comes for us all. ❜

❛ You're so much like your mother. ❜

❛ We love you more than we could ever hope to communicate in human words. ❜

❛ You don't need to be a psychic to see that you're a good egg. ❜

❛ Enjoy the now, baby. It's the only thing that's certain. ❜

❛ Nothing in my life has felt normal until I met you. ❜

❛ I want you to know the real me. ❜

❛ You're so adorably trusting. ❜

❛ Word to the wise, don't go sniffing around there. ❜

❛ You seriously don't know what kind of crazy that lady eats for breakfast. ❜

❛ I panicked, so I ran. ❜

❛ Could we, like, maybe not, with the physical violence? ❜

❛ Power doesn't interest me. ❜

❛ Yeah. Well, what you did was ehhh … but life goes on. Yours, anyway. ❜

❛ I mean, I've killed...uh...my share. But you don't see it holding me back. ❜

❛ Don't you dare feel guilty about your talent. You survived. ❜

❛ So you broke the rules. Big deal. That's what kept you alive. That's what makes you special. ❜

❛ I don't need you anymore. I don't know if I ever did. ❜

❛ If you really wanna finish this together, just know that I do not trust you. At all. ❜

❛ You'll get a nosebleed trying that hard to read my mind. ❜

❛ Hey, you want straight answers, ask a straight lady. ❜

❛ Tell me what more I should see, when I look at you. ❜

❛ You know, we really hated each other from the beginning. But now...I love you, guys. ❜

❛ I'm a forgotten woman. ❜

❛ Death comes for us all. It is what we all have in common. ❜

❛ I can see all the pieces falling into place. The gaps are filling in. ❜

❛ I'm telling you now because soon I'm not going to remember any of this. ❜

❛ I hope you'll join me. ❜

❛ I needed you. My coven. ❜

❛ What can I say? I like the bad boys. ❜

❛ I loved being a witch. ❜

❛ That's it? That's all the... That's all the time I get? ❜

❛ This can't be the end. It has to be the beginning. ❜

❛ I watch you. Just as closely as you watch everyone else. ❜

❛ No one in history has had special treatment like you. ❜

❛ You gave me nothing. You took. ❜

❛ Why do you let them believe those things about you, hmm? ❜

❛ What fresh horrors await us! ❜

❛ You seem relaxed. Usually at this point you're either complaining loudly or freaking out loudly. ❜

❛ It's nice. That feeling when your body knows it's safe. ❜

❛ Sometimes...boys die. ❜

❛ Congratulations, my love! I'm sorry I didn't have a ribbon for you to run through. ❜

❛ Why don't you want me? ❜

❛ Power looks good on you. ❜

❛ You do this and I will hate you forever. ❜

❛ Please let him live. Please, my love! ❜

❛ If you want to survive, get used to this feeling. ❜

❛ I cannot protect you from what's coming. ❜

❛ I saw you die. ❜

❛ And now, I'm a ghost. Can you dig it? ❜

❛ By the way, I did not sacrifice myself for you. I took a calculated risk. ❜

❛ You're making fun of me. This is just one of your tricks. ❜

❛ You have something of mine. I know you took it. ❜

❛ Why are you still here? Why won't you just die? ❜

❛ I'm sure he would forgive you for... whatever you did. ❜

❛ We could make a good team. You and me. ❜

At least, for the sake of his embarrassment, Ken's emotions finally metastasized into the anger he preferred, stamping his foot on the ground in a frustrated tantrum.

"That's not good enough!"

Snapping at the birthday girl in question, though, was certainly not much better. He withdrew fairly quickly when he what he'd done, boring a glare into the ground with a furious blush.

"I mean, if that's what you want, but-! I have to do more than that...!"

He hated himself for even having this problem. He should've simply provided something deserving of her, instead of derailing her morning with his useless, stupid fucking idea-

The wok was kicked off of its perch in a fit of impotent rage.

Mari had given him things he thought he couldn't have. Things he still didn't believe that he deserved.

".......I could give you the whole world and it still wouldn't feel good enough! I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that..." With that admission, at least, the spiral seemed to calm from full anger. "Just. I don't know! Tell me more things you'd want. I'm sorry for wasting food..."

JOKES ASIDE SHARED BETWEEN HER AND HER SURROGATE SISTER, Mari had been genuinely worried for Ken's sake when she noticed the pillar of dark smoke rising up from her other sibling's camp. Birthday wishes and gifts were all set aside, practically thrown out the metaphorical window for the time being, as Mari threw on her gear as hastily as she could and sped out the village gates on Ratha to investigate.

Which, when put into Ken's perspective, was probably even more embarrassing and humiliating than things already were. Imagine struggling to salvage the indiscernible remains at an attempt at birthday breakfast. Now imagine your elder sister coasting up the path, sweating beneath gear and armor that looked more disheveled than usual, because she was worried you'd burned much more than a meal.

. . . But, she'd rather he'd have scorched the food and the wok than himself, so as soon as she realized what was really going on, she found herself smiling with relief. Mari could tell he was resisting the urge to break down, likely ashamed at the results of his attempt.

Which, to be fair, even she looked upon the burnt concoction and stifled a grimace. But, when you end up with lemons, why not try to make some lemonade? " . . . You still tried, so don't sell yourself short. Would you want me to teach you some stuff? That'd be a pretty good gift, too."

[indentedheartner]

@rathalascendant

To say that Ken had been in a panic about Mari's present would be like saying that a larval Oltura was a little bit dangerous.

Nothing, nothing, nothing in all of his imagination was good enough for her. A handcraft was too useless. A book was too archaic. Dresses and jewellery were too feminine. Riches were too hollow, a personal belonging was too self-centered.

Game hunted in her honor would've suited them both, but nothing on the island was even remotely impressive enough besides a Rathalos. And a dead Rath would be quite possibly the worst present he could conceivably give her.

None of her hunting effects were anywhere near worn through, either, and it would be too disrespectful to the animal that gave its life for her to stop using any of them for a replacement.

Daisuke found Ken working himself into an anxiety attack; agonizing, almost unable to move from guilt as he failed to find a suitable idea in time. After the frayed bundle of nerves stopped screaming from being startled, he broke down and desperately confessed.

Daisuke suggested cooking food for her. And he had no time to come up with anything else anymore.

That morning, when the birthday girl awoke, Kayna joked to her that the smoke coming up from Ken's base looked like he'd burned breakfast.

He had never worked with an ingredient that wasn't meat before. When Mari intruded on him poking at the charred, illegible remains of her present in the ruined wok, it was only through sheer strength of character that he didn't start crying.
