@adoranoia liked this post for a starter.
‶ i’ve been thinking about potential plans for our next summer vacation. ″ itsuki begins, holding in his hands a few travel brochures. ‶ my uncle offered to fund a group trip for us. he thinks it’s good for me to able to get out and explore the world while still young, and he said he was more than happy to cover the cost of my friends if i chose to bring them. ″
he places the brochures on the brigade leader’s desk, each one detailing famous locations across the globe. wherever they chose to go, the agency would follow and ensure things went smoothly. it was important to itsuki to keep the girl busy- as well as keep up good relations with her.
and, most importantly, he enjoyed seeing her happy.
‶ unfortunately, i’m at a loss for where to go. and since i’m planning on bringing the brigade along, i was hoping that you could help me make the decision. ″

@digitalworid sent in this prompt: He fell asleep with just the fellow supernaturals in the room. Mikuru leaves him with her jacket, a note about her favorite sleeping meds, and mouse whiskers.
he really must get better about where and when he lets his guard down. this was just embarrassing at this point.
upon waking up, he removes the jacket from his back. given he’s alone, he allows himself to frown at it. really? was she trying to butter him up? at this point he wouldn’t be surprised to hear she was trying to seduce him as well. get him to lower his guard, view her at the innocent young beauty she portrays herself as.
the note on sleeping medication invokes a similar feeling of... mild annoyance. she was so sweet. too sweet. given their differing opinions, he finds it difficult to accept any niceties that are put forward. they’re on opposing sides. it was no secret that the agency didn’t necessarily get along with those from the future.
call him a pessimist, but these didn’t feel genuine to him. it felt like she was trying to buy him off with her kindness. --- it was hard to accept there wasn’t some sort of alternative motive to this.
it isn’t until he gets home- passes out- and then wakes up in the morning does he notice the whiskers.
KOIZUMI TO ASAHINA > Thank you for your recommendations! I’ll be sure to look into them. I sincerely apologize for falling asleep on the both of you. Hopefully I can make up for it later. I’ll be sure to bring your jacket today so I may return it to you.
KOIZUMI TO ASAHINA > Oh! And the whiskers were very cute. I unfortunately had to part with them, but it was fun while it lasted.

@stovthearted sent in this prompt: “☕️” + dealing with haruhi's shenanigans lol
‶ to be blunt, i find her shenanigans mildly enjoyable at best and a detriment to my mental health at worst. there are times where i find myself genuinely having fun with the brigade, but it is often overshadowed with the immense amount of stress that weighs on my shoulders. there is a constant pressure to ensure that suzumiya-san herself is having a good time, and with her often unpredictable moods it is easier said than done. i used to find myself relaxing upon seeing her in a good mood, as you would think based on her previous track record that there were only concerns to be had when she was mentally unstable. but just as her moods can prove to be unpredictable, her powers can as well. even when suzumiya-san is enjoying herself i find it difficult to so much as appreciate the moment. compared to endless summers, changing the seasons, and causing asahina-san to fire laser beams from her eyes, having to destroy a celestial and stop the spread of closed space seems much more manageable. ″
‶ let it be known, this does not mean i personally dislike suzumiya-san. nor does it mean that i loathe every activity we are pulled off to participate in. i find suzumiya-san a wonderfully charming person. she has an energy the likes of which i can’t say i’ve seen before. and while i do perhaps hold a small bit of resentment for the position that i have been forced into, i also can’t say that i would change things either. i have been linked to her subconscious and given the task to oversee her mental state. it is an exhausting job, but one i take seriously. i wouldn’t trade it for anything. ″
‶ but i do long for a time where i no longer have to constantly worry about the fate of the world. at the end of the day, i think that if my very existence weren’t at stake, i might be able to truly enjoy suzumiya-san’s shenanigans. however, until i can assure that this world as we know it won’t fall apart due to a random whim of hers, i will continue to play the part of an enthusiastic yes-man who holds all of her plots in high esteem. ″

@undermebius gets itsuki rambling about gender as a treat.
‶ while sex and gender are two different things, some people unfortunately have trouble separating the two. after all, humans are prone to make a lot of assumptions about someone else based on a glance. since most people do have an image of what a stereotypically male person and a stereotypically female person look like, they’ll recognize the patterns they see and categorize the person in their mind as the identity they presume them to be. ″
‶ sometimes a simple clarification is enough to fix the issue, but the assumption alone can be disheartening to some. physically transitioning is a large commitment, but it is worth it to a lot of those who want their bodies to reflect their identities. it’s comforting, i’d say. and i’ve found it’s been more convenient in the long term, even if the recovery process was a little difficult. ″
‶ hence why i appear before you as i am now. --- of course, i haven’t even touched upon those who don’t align with the idea of a gender binary. it really is a nuanced topic. i wouldn’t mind loaning you some books on the topic, if you were interested. ″
the esper does actually seem invested in talking about this topic. for once, it seems his enjoyment isn’t falsified. this is something he’s clearly passionate about. it’s rare to find a moment where itsuki koizumi is truly genuine.
‶ i wonder how something like this looks from your perspective. for some reason i doubt the data overmind even takes these things into consideration. i’d imagine when you’re at such a high level these sort of things come off as a bit frivolous. am i wrong? ″

@calcutec sent in this prompt: "Can I kiss you?" its for science :) itsuki koizumi wouldnt reject science right
you have to take a moment to actually process what was said. it actually manages to catch you off-guard. probably because you hadn’t expected yuki nagato of all people to ask you such a question.
you watch her for a moment, unsure on what to say in response. your lips are parted slightly, still in a partial smile. you guess you could say that you’re doubting your ears. part of you wants to ask her to restate the question- while the other part of you is well aware you know what you heard.
after a moment, you chuckle, not sure how else to express the feelings you have about this. you’re not trying to make fun of her by any means- it’s out of disbelief more than anything else.
you brush some of your hair out of your face, looking down at her and trying to study any subtle changes in her expression.
‶ sorry, haha, i hadn’t expected to hear you ask me something like that... may i ask what for? ″

@stovthearted sent in this prompt: "Can I kiss you?" // yeets a taniguchi at u
a small flicker of surprise at the question, although he keeps his usual composure. that calm smile on his face, his eyes examining the other curiously. it was unexpected, to say the least, but itsuki doesn’t let it get to him. rather, he takes a more inquisitive approach. not a quite denial, but not quite a yes either.
‶ i wonder what would make you ask me a question like that... ″ he meets the others gaze. ‶ i’d love to know. ″

@anonymous sent in: people who know the Itsuki you display only love only a false version of you and how you look. people who get to know the real you will come to resent you because you're not enough. you will spend the rest of your existence, barely existing at all.
‶ ”i shall think that the sky, the air, the earth, colors, shapes, sounds, and all external things are merely the delusions of the dreams which he has devised to ensnare my judgement. i shall consider myself as not having hands or eyes, or flesh, or blood or senses, but as falsely believing that i have all these things.” ″ the quote comes off as detached, an abrupt and seemingly out of nowhere response. still followed by that smile and almost superior tone of voice. and yet, in his eyes there is a empty look. it’s the gaze of someone distant- though that is who he is. this distance is mandatory, of course, but it is still a painful thing to experience.
‶ how does one define the self to begin with... it’s something many philosophers have debated. in terms of existence, one might presume just having a body is enough. so long as i physically exist on this plane, i exist, no matter what i present to other people i will alway be perceived by them, acknowledging my form and solidifying my place in this world. “i am observed, therefore i exist.” but that feels hollow, doesn’t it? while it may offer me a small comfort, it does little to disprove your statement. and it isn’t all that satisfying either. ″
‶ in the words of descartes “i think therefore i am.” if the self is the mind and i am but a thing that thinks, i think i can easily claim that i am existing wholeheartedly. those around me are unable to perceive the “self” that i am because my thoughts are not privy to them. but who can say that all of their thoughts are privy to anyone? if you have not exposited all of your thoughts to someone, you could hardly claim that they know the "real” you. your “self,” so to speak. but naturally, that’s an unreasonable request. it would be impossible to share all of that information to someone. so do you think that it is rational to say that no one ever truly knows anyone? ″
‶ the best thing one can do is look at someone’s words and actions and make their best guesses. any understanding you have of someone is merely an assumption. and you have so clearly stated your assumptions about me... but who is to say if they are correct or not? perhaps i always try to display my truest self to the world. or perhaps, even if i do not, i often hint to the meaning behind my actions in hopes that someone might see me for who i am. or... maybe i refuse to reveal my “self” to anyone. the only person who has any way of knowing that is yours truly. ″
‶ and yet... who could be content with a conclusion like that? ″
‶ whether it be the mind, the soul, the body, or some combination of the three- what the “self” is doesn’t really matter all that much, does it? i could attempt to define who or what it is i am to you as much as i would like; try to convince you that i am satisfied with my “self” until i am unable to continue speaking. but tell me, do you think that would make a difference? if you can claim whether a version of me is true or false, then your mind seems as if it is already made up. you have made an assumption about what my “self” is and you appear determined to stick to it. i doubt i could change that, as much as i would like to. ″
‶ this assumption of yours is how you regard me- how you choose to acknowledge me. as someone barely capable of existing because you do not believe that my real “self” will ever be noticed. i will never have the satisfaction of being known or appreciated. and maybe you’re right on that account. maybe you’re wrong. but i cannot help but loop back around to one of my very first thoughts. ″
‶ ”i am observed, therefore i am.” those in the brigade all acknowledge me as an individual. although you could argue that each of them interprets this individual differently. whether that is because i change how i act around them or because they have different interpretations of my character is irrelevant. because, to them, that person exists. that person has an impact on their life. they have opinions on that person, interact with that person, think about that person, and they see that person. i would like to think my own existence could be related to my effect on others- and their acknowledgement of me and my place in their life. ″
‶ i don’t think i need anything more than that. real or fake- it doesn’t matter. because only i am capable of defining that within myself. ″

@anonymous sent in: stop smiling so much!! it's unnerving!!
‶ i think only truly unnerving thing would be if you were to catch me without a smile on my face. the presence of this smile means that all is as it should be. for me to act abnormally would be far more of a concern. ″
