if tsurugi was placed into the kg instead of teruya how do u think things would play out [might make a au based off it who knows]

That would be the highest honor one can bestow.

Hummmmm okay so.

-cases would go a lot rougher. Like, he would be extremely fired up. Possibly accuse sora and syobai and mikado frequently

-he would still have a soft spot for yuki, and he could be confused at seeing *this* yuki isnt like the other one-- i.e. not good emotional support and not extremely positive.

-would talk shit about rei and Teruya to people's faces, but would privately praise them for all theyve done.

-that one scene where teruya promises to protect sora and the others? Never happens. He follows sora out of the building, and watches as she breaks up the whole thing between yuki and yoruko.

-he freezes once yuki holds the knife to his neck, and pulls out a gun. The moment the knife is away from yuki, he shoots sora. Thinking it is her fault he(yuki) is so miserable.

-After this event, he disappears for the most part. Sora invades the room he was staying in and finds his journal/diary.

•going through it, she cringes at seeing him talk about both yukis and utsuro. He was talking about fake yuki like he was a completely different person, and he blames akane for fake yuki getting his memories back.

•theres also points where he talks about killing everyone else there so he and yuki get out. He has no care for anyone else there.

-he never gets chained up by mikado or iroha. Instead, he interrogates mikado, and forces the wizard to say why he(tsurugi) cant leave.

•when finding out about the firewall thing, he comes up with a plan. If rei can make a connection again, he can tell her everything, and keep mikado distracted by shooting him up.

-this eventually leads to rei trying many passcodes out, until, eventually, she uses 0430, mikakos birthday. Why did mikado make the passcode the same in this? Who knows.

-ultimately, tsurugi survives, alongside yuki, yoruko, iroha, and syobai. While he has no care for sora, seeing her and akane as the same people, teruya and rei recognize the differences and recognize that sora is p much her own person.

•behind tsurugis back, the two work together on some sort of robot to put sora's coding in, so she lives, too.

OKAY can I ask for the Sdra2 girl cast dating a Fem! S/o who has a twin? But the twin is like Kanade like the whole 3rd trial all over again but switch the twins with said S/o and their twin? Like S/o is like in a puppet state while their twin is bonkers 😵‍💫

Ooooo evil I like it. Also imma include the girls that died before trial 3 & exclude Hibiki/Kanade

........

Emma

Least to say...she's horrified by what your twin sibling has done to you, her girlfriend.

She's convinced this kind of stuff only happens in horror movies, but as they describe exactly how they turned you into their "puppet" over the years, she realized this is reality. Your reality that she never knew about.

Just to drive the point home that you only needed them in your life, your twin orders you to say "I hate you, Emma! [Sibling Name] is the only one I love!"

And you obey them, your voice full of vigor and emotion, before your expression becomes empty and devoid of life once again.

It brings Emma to tears because she knows that's not you actually saying that.

Your twin made you put on an act for their own twisted amusement.

After you get executed alongside them, she's gonna be livid, shouting at Monocrow/Mikado for letting this happen and sobbing that it's not fair to punish you since you weren't even aware that you killed somebody.

Kokoro

Thanks to her talent, she probably already knows about your twin's true nature before it's revealed to everyone.

She'll pull you off to the side, and warn you the best she can not to hang out with them anymore.

But since you don't remember anything they've done (or the fact they can puppet you around), you try to reassure her they're perfectly sane.

"That's what they want you to believe. But they've hurt you in the past, broken you beyond repair. And now they can flip your autonomy like a lightswitch if they wish."

Whether you believe her or not won't matter in the end...as your twin manipulated you into carrying out a murder plot alongside them without you remembering a thing.

To their shock, Kokoro was able to coax you out of your puppet-like state just in time for the "grand finale".

Your last moments of despair did manage to rattle her a bit, but she took comfort in that you died knowing the truth.

Sora

She never suspected anything was wrong.

If anything, she was quite impressed by how much your twin was able to contribute to the trial, with you joking that they've taken all the "smarts" when you were both born.

But when your sibling reveals their true nature and shows how they can easily put you in a puppet-like state...Sora's beyond horrified.

Especially when they claim they intended to kill her for being so close to you, though they changed their mind after somebody else walked in on them planning a murder.

She hates how the vote was correct--especially for both twins. And not because you were both in Void. That wasn't the case this time.

It feel so unfair. Why should you die for a murder you didn't agree to commit?

Could she have seen this coming if her memories came back? Maybe you told her something was off with your twin in the past...if only she could remember...

Regardless, she hopes you're in a better place and they're stuck in the deepest part of hell.

Iroha

Like Sora, she's very impressed by how smart your twin is, even complimenting them for helping everybody survive!

She thinks you're smart, too, though, and will always say you're the "better" twin.

But then their true vile nature is unveiled post-trial and it takes a minute or so for Iroha to finally understand why and how you're an accomplice in the murder.

"But...th-that's not right!! If [y/n] was being hypnotized then...how can she be guilty?? She didn't want to do it!!"

When Monocrow insists it's time for the execution, she breaks down, unable to stand it anymore as she cries, begging him not to kill you.

But while you're terrified of being executed for something you didn't remember doing, you comfort the painter before being taken away.

Iroha's dead silent as Mikado remarks how your twin could've been an excellent Void member if they had lived longer, unable to say anything positive in such a solemn situation.

Setsuka

When you and your twin become prime suspects in the third murder, she tries her best to stay calm and rational.

But as you continue to claim that you don't remember hurting anybody, her patience begins to wear thin and she asks your twin what was going on with you.

Though after a slip of the tongue, they get accused of the crime alongside you.

Sora lays out everything that happened, and only when you and them are voted guilty--that's when your twin reveals how you were able to go along with their murder plot: by conditioning you to become a puppet who sings and dances to whatever tune they play.

Despite you being used as an unwilling accomplice, you're also executed, and that ultimately crushes Setsuka's spirits.

She's been trying so hard to cheer everybody up and to figure out Void's plans.....that she must've neglected the warnings signs from you.

Even though you reassure her it's not her fault prior to your death, she feels guilty the rest of the trip for failing to help you.

Yoruko

The second your name is brought up, she's on the defensive--claiming you'd never do something as stupid as murder.

Though the fact that you're insisting that you don't remember a single detail has her confused.

Did your twin disguise as you and try to frame you for it?

Her head hurts trying to wrap her brain around this entire trial.

She starts increasingly getting frustrated with Sora and Syobai until your twin slips up and says something that condemns both them and you.

After the verdict shows you two are guilty, they finally reveal their true nature and demonstrate how easily you can be "hypnotized" by them.

It's here Yoruko realizes neither of you are members of Void.

Your twin is just a sick and evil monster who deserved to go to hell.

She's in tears the entire time she watches your execution, thinking you were going to escape when you grabbed the key---

Only to be devastated as you're killed anyways, albeit in less pain than your twin sibling, who dies laughing.

syobai and irohas friendship is like. theyre forced to stay together bcs iroha cant do anything on her own and yuuki doesnt want her getting hurt so he bargains with syobai to take care of her. and he protects her but he doesnt like it and irohas constantly terrified hes gonna abandon her. and then yuuki comes to check up on them like a year later to make sure syobai didnt dump irohas body in the woods and syobais fucking drinking from a #1 dad mug that iroha got him for fathers day.

[britishanon]

can I request Iroha and Yoruko (separate) with a very rich girlfriend but they have an attitude, and they live laugh love for spoiling Yoruko/Iroha. Also would not mind paying off yoruko’s bullies to stop or buying Iroha the most expensive and excellent paints. -Leafy anon (sorry, I really love giving random requests to newer writers to see their type of writing for no actual reason-)

OoOoO this is interesting! Dont be sorry! And im actually a writer who has bad grammar's-

YORUKO KABUYA

Yoruko would be pretty annoyed by your attitude and when you started giving gifts for yoruko ahem blush thats what im gonna say blush but she will feel guilty after judging you and would apologize, and about the bullying there are two types dont know or know

If she dont know she would be curious and ask you and she would be much more curious why are you so happy? And she would ask the bullies why?

If she knows she would feel much more guilty pls comfort this tsundere and would try pay you back accept her gifts or she would be more guilty- now give this tsundere comfort

IROHA NIJUE

I dunno how u become her girlfriend since with that attitude but like yoruko she would feel guilty and try give u gifts too! Iroha would try to convince u to stop since she doesnt want you to go broke- but either way she enjoys your gifts the excellent paint the excellent brushes she LOVES IT she would literally forget about your attitude though-

Now thx for requesting again leafy anon! Ask me if i forgot something! Or u want me to add more!

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Just curiousity if sdra2 is in Pokémon au what Pokémon the sdra2 cast have and their role is? Man i can already imagine syobai and sora be catching legendary Pokémon lmao.

OH I've been waiting for an ask like this for a while so grab a seat!

Note I couldn't think of any for Yoruko, Setsuka, or Syobai sorry--

...

Shinji

Definitely has a Blastoise who can Mega Evolve. Ever since he was a kid and it was a Squirtle, they dreamed of being firefighters.

He'd also have a strong fighting type like Machamp that could help lift debris from ruined buildings and a ground type like Rhyhorn that can pull heavy equipment.

He wouldn't really battle much, instead using his Pokémon for search and rescue operations.

Yuri

He'd have psychic types with space themes (Solrock, Lunatone, Cosmog, Elygem, etc.), and maybe a steel type like Klinklang since he's an inventor.

One of his lifelong dreams is to witness a Deoxys in the wild, which is the main reason why he does space training.

Would always be chivalrous to the Pokecenter nurses and never pass up a battle with a lady if she wishes to have one (even if he loses, he'll praise them).

Yuki

I think it's confirmed that he'd have a Charmander as a starter and evolve an Eevee into Flareon, so definitely lots of fire-types.

He's kinda average at battling, knowing general type strengths and weaknesses.

But he couldn't tell you what's super effective against poison even if his life depended on it.

Oh, and he's not great at setting up Pokémon stats, either. Every time he does, his team gets knocked out anyways.

Shinji keeps encouraging him to get a fighting-type and train with it.

Teruya

His father owned a shiny Klefki who kept the keys to his home, office, and the Otori Mart secured.

Since his passing, Teruya has kept Klefki under his care, having it safeguard security keys for the Kisaragi Foundation.

Had a Meowth and Cubone who helped him with the business, but after DRA's events the latter has evolved into Marowak (due to sympathizing with him over the traumatic losses he experienced and inspiring him to keep going).

Meowth stays the same but is very smart and helps him with financial department stuff.

Hibiki & Kanade

They'd have Pokémon that share themes of duality (ie Doduo and Scovillain) and music-themed ones like the Toxtricity variants or Loudred.

They're best known for hosting concerts where their Pokémon are band members, providing extra music or background vocals that get the audience pumped.

Funny enough, their individual Pokémon teams have natures that match their owners (ie Hibiki's being feisty).

Hibiki's dream is to catch a Meloetta but is forever jealous that Kanade claimed to have seen a shiny one in the wild but failed to catch it.

Hajime

A native to Alola who has a Machoke and Incineroar that both use Fightnium Z crystals in-battle.

As a Machop and Litten, they came to the hospital where he was sick and formed a close bond with him right away when everybody else abandoned him.

After being healed by Divine Luck, Hajime has trained with the duo ever since, winning lots of matches and making a name for himself across many regions.

He dreams of opening his own fighting-type gym.

Emma

Probably owns "cute" Pokémon that pack a punch, like Sylveon, Primarina, and Galarian Rapidash.

Also has a Ditto who helps her in the movie biz by transforming into a stunt double or an extra character if needed. It actually loves being a star alongside her.

Has definitely gone to Hoenn to participate in beauty contests.

Not crazy about battles but if you cross her, her team can and will destroy you.

Nikei

Would most likely be a Pokémon researcher, writing articles on mythical/legendary sightings and theories.

Wants to catch one himself but he feels ill-prepared for the journey.

I can see him owning some Fossil Pokémon (pre-gen 8), and normal types like Furret, Linoone, and Eevee.

If he had to choose a legendary to catch, he'd probably pick Wo-Chein since he learned it has the tablets of ruin, wondering how much history is recorded on it.

Hates Mikado for somehow getting an Ultra Beast and refusing to let him study it.

Iroha

She'd have a Smeargle 100%.

They've been childhood friends and the only Pokémon companion she's ever had, making art together and inspiring each other with their works.

She took a trip to Paldea in the summer, wanting to expand her team to prove she's not a weak trainer.

There, she caught a Tinkatuff and a Shroodle that became a sassy Grafaiai who likes to mess with Smeargle's artwork.

She doesn't have the heart to force them into any battles.

Mikado

Definitely has Meowscarada. It just makes sense.

I can also see him owning a Blacephalon, Murkrow, Delphox, and Alakazam to help him with crime performances.

He just taught all his Pokémon how to be petty thieves, stealing things from the audience when they least expect it.

Is still on the run from the Foundation, but his Pokémon are good at making getaways.

You would think he's a champion, but he doesn't really care to become one.

Kokoro

Owns psychic types who are in tune to people's natures/personalities and can make predictions, such as Indeedee, Espeon, Gardevoir, Xatu, Abra , and/or Hatenna.

Similar to Nikei, she's just a researcher. But she prefers studying the interactions between humans and Pokémon.

Is willing to battle, but only just to observe the kind of bond her opponent shares with their team.

Winning or losing is of no concern to her.

Sora

Owns a single Shiny Eevee who for some reason cannot evolve no matter the time of day, friendship level, or evolution stone given.

She believes that, like herself, it's just struggling to find its identity and purpose.

So the two just go on adventures together, seeking out legendary/mythical Pokémon.

Would probably have a Cinccino on her team as a friend for Eevee.

BONUS:

Utsuro

Would have a team of Pokémon deemed difficult to capture and ones that only evolve with high friendship, succeeding at both thanks to his luck.

Not only that, but his 'mons would have the perfect nature, stats, and IVs.

I can see him owning a Mewtwo, Lucario, Jirachi, Silvally, Clefable (who only knows Metronome, yet always gets the exact moves she needs to win the battle), and an Absol with the ability Super Luck.

He'd rise to the champion ranks really quick, but get bored of it just as fast and pawn it off to someone else.

Even shiny hunting becomes ridiculously easy for him, as he'd trade them away to people just because he can.

Forgot to post these oops

Notes below

-> I accidentally made my empanada design look like iroha nijue's-

-> I was looking at Omori when I designed pepito could you tell? (I also wanna add some stuff to it sometime later because I don't want him to look like an omori ripoff)

-> The "Wednesday Soot" design is based off that one time when Wilbur and Tallulah were deciding on naming her and she said how "wednesday" is her favorite word (I think?)

-> While drawing Chayanne I was wondering hmmm what if he was like this platypus?

-> When I gave Pomme bat ears I thought "what if she was a bat?" And hmmmmm

-> I'm writing this at 1 am rn and I just imagined Codeflippa glitching out and stuff like Anti back in 2016-2017 (?)

-> I might see whether or not it's appealing to design Sunny with more "sun" traits like wearing sunflower sunglasses (even though I love the heart shaped ones) and a sunflower/summer flower like dress (the puffy princess skirt tho-)

-> I was also thinking about that one Marilyn Monroe scene from "Gentlemen Love Blondes" while thinking about Sunny's outfit so take that as you will

-> I kinda wanna draw Tallulah and Sunny together since I was getting tallulah vibes while drawing the latter

-> Speaking of which and to end this off, I wanna see Tallulah, Pomme and Empanada together (I'm not that up to the most latest stuff but if they have all met please show me)

[danganronpafan777]

Oooh~ can we see how about how the SDRA2 girls met and feel in love with their s/o. I'm really looking forward to Kanade', Emma's and Kokoro's.

This was written in a nondespair au, I’m sorry if you wanted hcs about in the killing game

On a separate note, this is my 50th imagine!!

TW: On Yoruko’s part, there is harassment and attempted SA, so under cut

Iroha Nijue:

Iroha loved conventions almost as much as she loved art itself. Of course, her family didn't approve of anything manga or anime related, but thankfully they should be busy with a new art exhibit, giving her the chance to sneak out and enjoy the con. 

To be safe, she hid her face in a cosplay, and gleefully visited each booth, her bag filled with merchandise after less than an hour. When she learned that one of her favorite animes was holding a preview for the upcoming season? Nothing could hold her back, not even the dread of having to sit through a near eternal line just to be able to see it. 

During the wait, she tried to make conversation with some of the people near her, but they mostly ignored her or told her to shut up. 

"Hey! I love your cosplay! Is it —— from ——?" 

With her art skills, she had been getting compliments about her cosplay from the moment she entered the con, but this voice made her blush a bit. She turned around and nodded to you, beginning to rant about her favorite characters from the anime. 

Unlike everyone else, you listened to her, adding some comments of your own. The two of you had so much in common! Eventually the two of you were singing the theme song together, jumping up and down in excitement. 

When someone told the both of you to shut up, you told the guy off, something she would never have the courage to do. The rest of the wait seemed to fly by, and the two of you continued talking, rambling, and laughing together. 

Iroha felt like she could completely be herself, even if she began to find herself giggling and blushing at almost everything you said. Just as the preview began to show, you turned to her one last time,

"Iroha, can you see? I just realized I might be blocking you. You wanna get in front of me to see better?"

That was the moment you won her heart. Someone that listened, cared, and never judged her hobbies, and actually took into account how she felt? You didn't even call her stupid when she tried to read a pamphlet upsidedown!

She decided you were a keeper, and unconsciously drew you in her sketchbook as she watched the preview. Despite the cheers of excitement, she now had something that made her even happier.

Iroha blushed when you complimented her sketch of you with a red face of your own. 

Arm in arm, the two of you enjoyed the rest of the convention together, forming a bond that Iroha would never forget

Yoruko Kabuya:

TW: Harassment, attempted SA

Yoruko released a relived sigh as her shift finally ended, and after helping Ms. Tomori close up the bar, she took her backpack and began to head home.

As she made her way to the subway station, she heard a slurred, drunken voice from behind her, 

"..Y-Yourrr...dat....pretty gurl..." 

Yoruko turned around, seeing one of the creeps she thought had left the bar hours ago. She tightened her grip on her bag and continued walking, but the man wouldn't be quiet, and kept trying to approach her. When he gripped her arm, she finally smacked him away and snapped,

"Leave me alone!"

"C’mon...dressing like that...You're just asking for it...."

"What did you just say!?"

In his drunken state, the man laughed again, reaching for her dress. Yoruko yelped, just as someone ran over to the two of them, and the man began to scream. 

Seeing the confrontation, you peppersprayed him, leading Yoruko down to the subway station. Feeling another stranger grab her, Yoruko prepared to hit you as well, but then you looked back at her with those familiar, kind eyes.

"...Y/n!?"

"Huh? How do you-...Kabuya? I almost didn't recognize you!" You stopped, the both of you catching your breath. It had been years since you had seen her last, and couldn't believe she would recognize you, nevermind knew your name. 

Yoruko was surprised to see you as well, but forget you? She wouldn't dream of it. In her eyes, you were the only good thing to happen to her during her middle school years. Every day that she was beaten and bullied, you stood up for her and patched her up, even before she did. 

When her friend slapped her in the face, you still defended her. When rumors spread about what a copycat she was, you still stayed by her side. 

...As a classmate and friend of course! 

Yeah, she definitely had a small crush on you back then, blushing her head off as you patched her wounds. You were completely oblivious, and still cheered her on, despite her job being illegal. She barely saw you after graduation, and here you were, saving her once again. 

"Y-Y/n... Thank you. It's nice to see you." 

"It's nice to see you as well, Yoruko! Where have you been?"

On the subway home, the two of you began to catch up. Once again, Yoruko found herself getting lost in your eyes, that tiny crush of hers revisiting after years. Only this time, it was much bigger.

She lost her chance with you in high school, hesitating to reach out, and foolishly letting you get away, but Yoruko won't make that mistake twice. The two of you exchanged numbers, and she invited you to have a drink at the bar she worked at,

"O-Or, well... We can just meet up at a restaurant somewhere...! It's your call...I'm fine with whatever."

"Are you asking me out?"

"Wh-What!? It-It's nothing like...! I...I don't know. I just want to see you again."

You gazed back at her with that familiar smile, "I'll pick you up at eight."

Sora:

Despite her sharp tongue, Sora was usually a quiet and cold kid in your class. She was smart enough to get grades better than yours, but she spent the majority of class staring out the window or talking to Yuki or Yoruko

A few of your classmates were put off by her bluntness and mostly stoic personality, but you found it endearing. After months of being classmates, you finally got the courage to talk to her more.

"Hi, Sora!"

"Hello, do you need something?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to talk for a bit."

"Okay?"

It was awkward at first, and Sora would tease you and chuckle a bit at your awkwardness, but the two of you still seemed to click. Sora admired how you always tried to look out for everyone, and you admired how she acted cold, but was still caring towards others.

Eventually, the class joked that the two of you were Yuki's adoptive parents, which made both of you blush a bit. As both of you spent more and more time together after school, Sora began to realize her own feelings towards you, as she felt butterflies every time she was able to make you laugh, or she felt herself get a near matching blush whenever you blushed at one of her teases. 

She figured out her feelings quickly, and fell for you fast. She is more logical than emotional, so she planned to wait a bit and see if you felt the same. 

Most people had assumed that the two of you were already together, but Sora was still making plans to confess to you. 

It took you a while to come to terms with your feelings for her, but were you going to act on them? Hell no, you had just succeeded in befriending Sora, there was no way you were going to ruin your friendship with her.

Sora was able to figure out your feelings as you became more distant. The way you’d blush and look away at her teases, and sometimes outright avoid her.

 If you wouldn’t take the initiative and ask her out, she’ll do it herself. 

After class had ended, she approached you,

“…Y/n. Why are you avoiding me?”

“Avoiding you? I promise I’m not, I’m just…”

“In love with me?”

You took a few steps back in shock, and even as you tried to deny it, her expression didn’t change. When you realized she wouldn’t buy whatever lies you were going to tell her, you became dismissive.

“…I just remembered I have plans right now and-“

You were taken by surprise when she grabbed your arm. Her grip was firm, yet gentle, and despite your embarrassment, you didn’t want to pull away.

“Y/n. I like you too…Will you go out with me?”

Her genuine smile and light blush blew away whatever words you planned to say next.

Setsuka Chiebukuro:

You kept your eyes and ears sharp as the so called 'Billiards Champion' landed another perfect hit. You could only groan as you lost yet another match...

You had entered this tournament mostly for the cash prize to pay school tuition rather than an actual enjoyment for the game, but that didn't make losing any better

After failing another hit that you couldn't take back, a part of you just wanted to pack up and leave. Why were you so bad at this? Why were you even here?

You didn't really consider yourself to be a sore loser, but you were worried that your anger could lead to something you might regret.

"Hey there. Y/n, right? You might wanna chalk up a bit more." Your competitor smiled, putting a gentle hand on your shoulder. You already knew her, the famous Setsuka Chiebukuro. 

You expected to be a bit irritated, being brought out of your thoughts by the one who was constantly beating you, but a part of you felt...calmer. 

After a few deep breaths, you realized that you had in fact forgot to put chalk on the tip of your cue...how many turns have you played like that??

It was humiliating, and you only had yourself to be mad at. 

You heard the girl chuckle to herself, before you felt a hand ruffle your hair. 

"Don't be embarrassed, N/n. Mistakes happen."

Despite your initial annoyance, you found yourself smiling back at her from her comforting words. You closed an eye, preparing your next hit. 

Your hands slightly trembled and your cue became shaky. Why were you so nervous? Was it because she was watching you?

Your thoughts were interrupted yet again as you felt the gentle hand back on your shoulder. 

"It's alright, N/n. Keep your grip relaxed and the cue level.." 

How were you supposed to relax your grip when she was so close!?

Your face only became redder as she placed her head on your shoulder, her hands on top of yours, redirecting your cue.

You wanted to say something, but what could you say!? You could barely focus on the game anymore.

She pulled away, and you couldn't help but miss the warmth. You turned your head to look back at her, and she motioned forward, beckoning you to reattempt the hit. 

Clack!

Your eyes widened a bit as you managed to sink two billiards into a hole. You could only turn to look back at your new friend. 

"You're improving. I'm proud of ya, N/n!" She grinned, "Maybe next time you'll have a better shot at beating me."

"Thank you..." You told her. Her smile widened as she rubbed the back of her neck. Losing didn't feel too bad anymore...

Setsuka felt a small blush on her face. She didn't usually offer advice to people competing against her, but something about you felt different. She usually made fun of 'love at first sight' tropes, but she was definitely experiencing something different from her big sisterly feelings.

The two of you walked to the subway station together, chatting and feeling sparks fly. Despite exchanging numbers and making plans to meet up at another time, you still agreed to her request of a rematch.

When you parted ways, she winked, "Until next time, N/n~!"

"Yeah...next time."

...Maybe you enjoyed playing billiards after all. 

Kanade Otonokoji:

Originally, Kanade was... cautious of you

You were kind to Hibiki, and genuinely seemed to make her happy, which was enough for Kanade to want to kill you

You wouldn't be a first, but... 

Whenever Kanade makes eye contact with someone, she can instantly tell how much of a threat they would be to her, but when she looked at you... you were a mystery

It angered her at first, and she got closer to you through Hibiki, making preparations to eliminate you, while you had no idea how much danger you were in...

But for some reason, you seemed to take a liking to her. It wasn't like Hibiki's grade school friend that thought she was creepy, and despite her original thought that you were only getting close to her because she was your friend’s sister, you seemed to care about her as a person and stood up for her even against Hibiki

You attended almost every one of their concerts, supporting and holding up signs of both of them, and always greeting them afterwords

Usually, someone like you would fill her with an insatiable rage...but it made her almost feel... flattered. 

She kept you around for reasons she didn't even know herself. You didn't strike her as a threat, but you were by no means dumb. If she didn't eliminate you, it was only a matter of time before you would get suspicious, or help Hibiki's mental state. 

After months of delaying herself, she injected poison into a single cookie in a batch she would share with her sister. She would offer it to you, and you would happily accept, and the poison would take its course right in front of Hibiki. The plan was just as flawless as she was, but....

"That's so sweet of you! Thank you, Kanade!" 

Your smile. Full of innocence, kindness, and complete obliviousness to what was about to happen to you. It made her heart skip a beat, and she felt her hands tremble.

Hibiki scoffed, "Kanade! How'd you drop it!? Y/n was right in front of you!"

She wanted to tell her sister to shut up. She wanted to enjoy your adorable confusion in peace, couldn't she do just that!?

She found herself observing your expressions more, and just wanting her sister to be quiet. The way your eyes met hers felt mesmerizing, and she couldn't get enough

There were times Kanade felt frustrated with herself, thinking about how you were just a mere obstacle in her Hibiki puppet plan... which didn't seem so amazing anymore.

It wasn't until the three of you were watching a sad movie together, which had Hibiki wailing within the first hour. It was the first time Kanade didn't feel infatuated with her sister's despair, and as the movie continued, and your eyes welled up with tears... she wanted to comfort you. 

There were so many new feelings that Kanade never felt before. A part of her was angry, even a bit scared, but another... wanted to experience them with you. 

You weren't an obstacle anymore, you were her goal. 

Kokoro Mitsume:

(Inspired by an artwork by @leviadraws!)

You pressed the button of the coffee machine, your eyes drifting to your personal favorite customer

You could tell a lot about a person by the coffee they drank, but something told you that there was more to this girl then what met the eye

Everyday, she ordered a single cup of coffee, sat at the same seat at the corner of the shop, and typed away on her laptop 

She never ordered anything more than coffee, ignoring even the cafe's most famous treats in favor of the peace and quiet. Even so, you would still ask her if she wanted anything else, trying to engage her in some form of conversation, but she usually stayed quiet

Even if she talked very little, her smart words with their hidden ounces of kindness sweetened your day, but with all her work, she probably didn't know you existed

....No, she definitely knew how you felt.

As a psychologist, she could read your emotions like a book, and was quite surprised that you seemed to like her despite knowing very little about her

What confused her even more was how you never pushed her boundaries. She could tell that your mind was racing and flowing with conversation topics, and questions that you wanted to ask her, but the moment her eyes went to her work, you left her alone

Was it because you were shy? She didn't detect that kind of trait in you...

Were you just being respectful? Perhaps...but your actions still contradicted your emotions.

Over time, she realized that she was getting less work done, and narrowed the problem down to you

 Kokoro didn't feel much, and rarely experienced emotions herself, but still felt the effects that one would have after experiencing them... how odd.

One day, where you had prepared Kokoro's drink moments in advance, since she always came to the cafe at the same time on the dot, she didn't immediately take her seat...

"...Thank you, Y/n." She said, not even having to look at your name tag. She noticed that your face seemed to heat up slightly, and your blinking rate increased. 

"No problem... Would you like anything else?" 

To your surprise, she nodded, ordering another drink and walking back to her usual spot. You wondered if she was meeting someone, but took your mind off it. It wasn't your business after all. 

"Here's your drink, miss."

"...Kokoro Mitsume," She replied, "And keep the drink... It's for you."

You paused in confusion. The drink was your favorite, which Kokoro knew because, as much as she tried to deny it, her eyes wondered over to you quite a bit during her work, and she noticed your emotions brighten when you made your favorite drink, even if it wasn't for you. 

Seeing a smile grow on your face, along with a rosy blush, Kokoro felt a strange sense of warmth in her chest, followed by the emergence of a small smile on her own face. With a small breath of hesitation, she embraced the feeling, closing her laptop.

"Would you like to take a seat?"

Hibiki Otonokoji:

You were swaying as Hibiki Otonokoji's angelic voice swept across the audience, accompanied by her sister's alluring guitar. 

You had been a fan for nearly a year, you always tried to attend as many of their concerts as possible, even if you couldn't afford a good seat

Hibiki loved her job, and loved singing to her audience, even if she could only really see the first few rows, 

You weren't in the front nor the back of the stadium, you were in the middle, almost completely concealed by the stadium lights, but she still felt her eyes drift over to yours 

You could barely contain your excitement as your favorite singer made eye contact with you, and your grinning face as you cheered louder, jumping up and down gave Hibiki a strange feeling

After initially almost missing a note, catching her sister's attention, new motivation and excitement moved through her body as she found herself copying your enthusiasm, her voice more prominent

The lights grew brighter with more and more camera flashes as she concluded her best concert to date, but through the blinding lights in her face, her eyes still returned to you

For days, she couldn't get you out of her head, snapping at Kanade whenever she asked what was wrong

For nights, she laid awake, wondering if she would see you again... and regretting not talking to you more and more

Many of her coordinators, her agent, and her sister were confused on why she was so adamant on performing at that same venue, but she claimed she wanted to top her best concert

Kanade didn't buy it, but still agreed with her request, keeping a closer eye on her sister than ever before.

As Hibiki hoped, there you were. You were in a completely different seat, but her eyes were still drawn to you, instinctively sorting you out of the thousands of people in the stadium

She sang her heart out for you, keeping eye contact between the two of you longer and longer until your face was completely red. She grinned, but still felt her own face heat up...

The moment the concert ended, she still held the microphone,

"The person in seat C135! You get to meet me backstage!" She smiled with her hands on her hips. 

Ignoring VIPs, enthusiastic fans, and one confused Kanade, she stubbornly sat in her dressing room and waited for her staff to bring you to her.

When she lasted expected it, you burst into the room,

"H-Hibiki Otonokoji! It's really you!"

Whenever Hibiki told anyone the story of how you met, she would always claim that she gave you a charming smile and started flirting with you as you fell for her.

The truth? She was completely speechless. She's performs hundreds of concerts, but she lost her voice just from seeing you. After a few moments, she tried to introduce herself, even though you knew who she was, but then she demanded with a red face for you to tell her your name. 

Hibiki didn't even notice that you were blushing just as much as she was. You told her how much you loved some of her songs, and originally spoke of topics that she would talk about during any fan meet and greet... but this felt different. More... genuine. 

The two of you talked until the concert had long ended, until her agent demanded for her to talk with the VIPs and people who actually paid to meet her. She whined, before giving you her phone number, actually trusting a fan not to leak it, and waved you goodbye with a wide smile. 

Even as she talked to her other fans, her mind stayed on you. It would be a while before she'd admit to having a crush, but her blushing face would not diminish.

Emma Magorobi:

Makeup was something that you usually did in your free time, you never thought of making a career out of it, but here you were, doing the makeup of the actors in what's expected to be the biggest blockbuster of the year

It wasn't really the plot or characters that made everyone believe it was going to be the hit, but the star actress, Emma Magorobi 

You both exchanged few words and a simple handshake at first, making small talk now and then, but mostly keeping to yourselves

You were a huge fan of Emma, but didn't want to overwhelm or crowd her. Becoming your friend was a decision she deserved to make herself, not something you should force on her just because you're a fan.

That was what you always told yourself. Stick to your job, you were just coworkers. She probably didn't even know your name.

But she did. Your makeup skills rivaled her own, and it felt refreshing to be spoken to as a regular person instead of a celebrity

But there was something that made you even more different than everyone else, something that drew her attention most of all

Every time you did her makeup, you used a palette to brighten her Japanese features, not hide them away to make her fit the Hollywood mold

It scared her at first, looking in the mirror, and just for a moment seeing the scared little girl she once was, and all the racism she faced for her heritage...

But she also saw the beauty in it.

All thanks to you

You were definitely surprised when Emma Magorobi herself invited you to a cafe before work, but you happily agreed

Your first thought wasn't that you were just asked to spend time with a star, but a potential friend

Emma felt like she could be herself, and she didn't realize how much acting she incorporated into her daily life, as her graceful movements and even her accent became more relaxed

Emma had played dozens of roles where her character had fallen in love, but she never experienced it in real life, but as you giggled at one of her puns, 

She began to see what she had been missing
