Yuu can do it!

Part 13

(Link to previous)

Ito liked having problems to solve. If there was something to do, then it gave them something to concentrate on. That way they didn’t have to think about how they were stranded in another world with no known way home, or how they had just technically murdered something, or –.

They forced themself to look around.

Deuce had been sent to try and get cell service – there was no way there was any this far into the woods, let alone underground, but he was concussed and had been insisting on helping so they figured that was the best option.

Kuroki had been near hyperventilating (not good considering they were already working with limited air) so Ito had dropped Grim onto him. He had only recently managed to bring his breathing down to a normal rate, and was now burying his face in the white fur of Grim’s collar while the monster squirmed.

Which left Enma, Ace, and Ito to try and find a way out.

Not that Ace was all that much help. After a few blasts of wind magic he had said that he was too tired to do more and now doing the stone-throwing equivalent of crawling up that fifteenth flight of stairs.

Which meant…

Enma and Ito threw rock after rock over their shoulders. They just needed a tiny hole to let in some oxygen. That was all. They could do this…

Ito was no nihilist, but they were pretty sure they were going to join the other ghosts in the mine.

At least the ghosts had been friendly, they supposed.

A tiny sigh left their lips and they rubbed their hands off on their shirt. Kuroki had long-since managed to snap out of it enough to help, and Ace had joined them after a few minutes’ rest.

(Deuce was still concussed and Grim was… Grim, so they weren’t much help. To his credit, though, Grim tried: he screamed at the top of his lungs – did he have lungs? – but Ito, privately, doubted that any sound escaped.)

The group had been working at one spot for ages… but every time they finally managed to make headway more rocks and boulders came to fill in the place left by their brethren. And they were getting tired, the air was thin, and, one by one, they all gave up in favor of finding a comfortable position to die in.

Enma was the last one to give up. He groaned and leaned back against the wall of rocks that kept them separated from the outside world.

“At least suffocating like this isn’t really painful,” he said after a moment. “We’ll probably just die in our sleep or something.”

“... dude, that’s so dark,” Ace complained, tossing a magestone from hand to hand idly.

Enma gave a weak grin. “No, this cave is dark.”

“Do you really want your last words to be a bad joke?” Kuroki said, absently stroking Grim’s fur.

Ito lifted their head from their knees, careful not to disturb Kuroki because he was leaning back against their side, to glare halfheartedly at them. “Do you really want your last conversation to be a fight?”

“Yes,” Kuroki and Enma said at the exact same time.

“What else are we supposed to do?” Ace said.

“Well, in books this is where we all give heartfelt speeches and then get miraculously saved at the last moment.”

“Ew,” said Grim.

Kuroki’s nose scrunched. “I’d rather die.”

Enma opened his mouth.

Ace threw the magestone in his hand at Enma before he could do it. The boy was quick to dodge, and the magestone clattered against the rocks.

And then the cave began to rumble, boulders and rocks and pebbles alike falling away.

Ace looked at his hands in awe. “I’m so powerful…?”

He was not. The way out cleared and they were met by three people and two ghosts.

The redhead from the ceremony stood at the front of the group, a heart-topped staff still pointed at them. He lowered it slowly and looked upon them all with slight distaste lining his expression.

“Honestly, how did that wall trouble you all so?”

Deuce’s eyes took a moment to focus but, when they did, his back straightened and he smiled from ear to ear. “Dorm head! You’ve come to save us! Thank you!”

“Rescue, you say… I have no reason to support transgressors.” His gaze swept over Deuce’s rapidly paling face and Ace’s scowl critically. “You have violated rule 304: On the day a hedgehog sneezes, all card soldiers must gather and perform a song!”

“If the hedgehog is sick do you think they have to do multiple songs a day?” Grim questioned, clearly just to start shit.

Enma seemed to also want to start shit, because he scratched his head with a small smile. “Their offense is that they were stuck here on an order from the Headmaster and not the ruined statue or chandelier?”

Riddle seemed uninterested in their idle chatter. He pointed the staff at Ace and Deuce.

(Ace looked about five seconds away from ducking behind their concussed companion for cover.)

“OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!”

Collars like those from the ceremony snapped over the pair’s necks and Deuce seemed a little thrown off by the weight.

Riddle turned away from them, to the two people who were standing silently beside him. “Trey, Cater. Take them to the dorm.”

“Yes, Dorm Leader,” they chorused.

The Ramshackle residents watched on without moving an inch as two of their companions were grabbed by the back of their collars like misbehaving housecats and dragged out, complaining and squirming all the way.

“Huh,” said Kuroki. “Wild.”

That was all the thoughts he seemed to have on the matter. He started gathering his scattered things and then struggled to pick up Grim.

Enma and Ito, however, frowned at Riddle.

“Wait, what’re you going to do with them?” Asked Enma. It wasn’t clear whether he was concerned or just curious.

Ito wasn’t afraid to be outwardly concerned, though: “Are they going to be okay?”

Riddle looked between the two of them. “It has nothing to do with you, this is Heartslabyul business.”

Not suspicious at all, thought Ito, a little perturbed.

And then his expression softened just slightly. “If they follow the rules, then they will be fine.”

Ito’s shoulders relaxed.

Enma smiled. “Thanks for saving us… even if it was just to punish them properly, I appreciate it.”

Riddle chanced a small smile back and they shared short goodbyes before he turned to follow his dorm members.

Ito turned to Enma with a mock pout playing at their lips the moment they were sure Riddle was out of earshot. “Why aren’t you that nice to us?”

“‘Cause I like him more than you,” Enma said without hesitation.

“You barely even know him! He punched you when you met!” Grim hissed.

“Exactly. Maybe you should think about that more.”

“Maybe you should –!” (The rating on this fic does not allow for Kuroki’s retort.)

Ito took a seat on a nearby boulder, watching the dormmates bicker. They rolled their eyes and rested their head on their hand, giving a tiny huff in their exasperation.

But they still wore a tiny smile nonetheless.

Enma had insisted that they all stuff their pockets with magestones (Kuroki had agreed because they might be able to sell them and Ito had just not had enough energy to argue), so they were now walking around, gathering as many as they could while he struggled to find a way to comfortably carry the large one the Headmaster had asked for all on his own.

The two were careful to avoid the body as they picked their way around. Ito didn’t want to look at it, and Kuroki seemed to think that it might come back to life and seek revenge based on the way he kept looking over his shoulder at every little sound, so: wide berth.

Grim wasn’t as concerned. He was actively rooting through the dead monster’s pockets.

“Grim, please stop grave robbing,” Ito tried.

“It’s not grave robbing… it’s archaeology,” Grim retorted.

“Both of you are wrong,” said Kuroki. “It’s looting a corpse.”

Grim paid him no mind. “Besides, something smells really good.”

“Please don’t cannibalize the corpse please don’t cannibalize the corpse please don’t…” Ito chanted under their breath.

The tiny monster produced a small, black stone not unlike the ones they were currently collecting. “Aha!”

But, instead of stuffing his pockets like the humans were doing, Grim stuffed his face.

Enma frowned. “Don’t eat rocks.”

Grim didn’t listen. His eyes went wide as he swallowed the last of the rock. “Oh…”

Kuroki yelped and jumped to his feet, the magestones that had been in his hands twinkling across to the floor as he ran over to the monster. “Grim! Grim! Spit it out!”

But Grim’s eyes lit up. “That was… amazing!”

Kuroki skidded to a stop.

“... sorry?” Said Enma.

“It’s full-bodied, but also rich with an aromatic sweetness that just melts in the mouth!”

The three Yuus looked at each other to confirm that, yes, the monster had said that the rock tasted good.

And then Ito remembered Grim had been eating grass earlier and decided that, maybe, they shouldn’t listen to him.

Ito’s nose scrunched. “I’ll take your word for it.”

“Huh. Guess monsters are omnivores,” said Enma after another moment of thought.

“That should not be all you guys have to say about this!” Snapped Kuroki.

The pair of ghosts accompanied them out of the mines. Almost definitely because the four of them couldn’t thank them enough for leading the group of seniors to them. Who doesn’t like praise?

Kuroki breathed a sigh of relief when the outside world finally came into view. And only partially because Grim jumped off of him and zoomed out, leaving him with a literal burden off his shoulders.

“And this is where we leave you,” the ghost with the pickaxe in his head said.

Enma frowned. “Do you have to? You can come with us. Our dorm already has ghosts. What’s two more?”

Ito watched them cast a sad glance back down the mine, and then the two ghosts shared looks.

“We’ve been here so long…” started the other ghost carefully. It tried to scratch its head, only to be stopped by the miner's hat that seemed glued there.

“Then a change of pace might be nice,” Enma said.

Ito yawned into their hand. “Unless there’s another monster in the mine you need to protect people from…”

“In which case we don’t want to know,” Kuroki said hastily.

“But you’ve spent… a long time here warding people away.” Enma smiled. “Don’t you think it’s time you actually enjoy your afterlife?”

The two ghosts mulled it over.

The one with the pickaxe in its head glanced back one more time before nodding. “That… I could do that.”

“No takebacksies, though,” the other said, ruffling Enma’s already messy hair.

They made their way out of the mine – nobody said anything when the ghosts stopped to bow their heads and stand there in silence for a moment, nor when the ghosts knocked down two trees to block the entrance and seal the tomb so the dead could finally rest – and started back the way they came.

“You actually went to the Dwarf’s Mine?” Was the first thing Crowley said to them upon first seeing them.

Enma held up the magestone as a slightly nicer way of saying ‘duh’.

The Headmaster gasped and jumped back a step, then clapped his hands to his cheeks and gave his best approximation of a horrified look. “My word… I never really thought you’d go… and you have come back with a magestone… I feel a little sorry for filling out the expulsion papers in your absence, now…”

“You what?!” Ito said.

Grim floated up so he could properly scold the man that was over 100 centimeters taller than him. “We defeated a huge beast for this and you were already preparing to throw us out?!”

Crowley’s exaggerated fluttering stopped cold. He stared at them in silence, the yellow balls of light that made up his eyes taking in everything about them – from the clothes that were ruined when the cave collapsed to the hands that were scraped and rubbed raw from their attempts at getting out. They must have been quite the sight.

“Could you explain in more detail while we make our way over to the hospital wing?”

And, so, they each gave their specific retelling of the events of the night. Kuroki’s was ridiculously short, Ito overdramatized everything purely for the sake of their own entertainment, Grim took all the credit, and Enma slipped puns into an otherwise perfectly acceptable explanation.

The Headmaster mulled over their stories while they took a healing potion the Headmaster had whipped up in seconds.

Ito grimaced at the affront to cooking that slipped down their throat and they had to pinch their nose to get it down. Enma groaned quietly and had to take his own in little sips. Kuroki didn’t seem all that affected, but the slight cough he gave upon first taste suggested he had just decided complaining wasn’t worth it.

Besides, Grim made up for Kuroki’s lack of complaints by yelling his own for the whole world to hear.

(Ito snuck a couple of extra doses into their pockets to give to Ace and Deuce later while the Headmaster was distracted trying to make the monster quiet. It wasn’t like the strange, pink liquid was all that out of place among the many glowing magestones that they had collected.)

And then they sighed and pushed Kuroki forward. Something they could do with ease now, because the pain and exhaustion lingering in every centimeter of their body had dissolved into a faint buzzing between blinks.

Kuroki sent them a betrayed look.

“Grim is yours, you deal with him.”

Kuroki glared at them for a moment longer, but then he reached forward and covered Grim’s mouth with his hand. “Shh. Do you want to stay here or not?”

Grim scoffed, but fell silent.

Kuroki let his hand drop.

Crowley looked at the group of them all. “So… if I’m getting this right… it seems that all six of you banded together to defeat the monster.”

“Were you not listening to me?” Grim said, baring a sharp fang.

Kuroki slapped his hand over the monster’s mouth once again.

“Yes, sir,” said Enma, pretending that that entire interaction hadn’t happened. “So…please don’t expel us.”

The Headmaster burst into sobs, burying his face in his hands.

Enma took a quick step backwards, horrified. “Gross.”

“Why is this grown adult crying?” Kuroki hissed, looking very much like he was considering leaving.

Ito cuffed them both over the back of the head before carefully walking over to the older man and giving him a few awkward pats on the back. They tried not to cringe when the Headmaster seemed to sob even harder and slowly retracted their hand, only for the man to catch their hand in both of his.

Now that his eyes were uncovered, Ito noted that there were no tears on his face. In fact, he looked less sad and more silently calculating. They wondered, idly, if they had made a mistake in not letting themself get expelled.

The man removed a hand to wipe away imaginary tears. Ito wasn’t stupid enough to try and pull away quite yet.

“In the many years I’ve been Headmaster, not once has this happened.”

“Not once has what happened?”

“I never thought I would see anyone from Night Raven College that was willing to stand, hand in hand, even if it meant defeating a common enemy!”

“I don’t hold hands,” said Kuroki.

“Patently untrue,” Enma snarked.

Ito sent a glare at them over their shoulder.

The distraction gave the Headmaster an opening to drag them over to Kuroki and Enma so he could wrap them all in a ‘hug’... in quotation marks because the large, feathered cape the man wore engulfed them all in a way that felt very much like a trap ensnaring them.

“This confirms it without a doubt! You three are beast tamers!”

“... right, you said that earlier. But you said that doesn’t change anything, remember?” Kuroki said in a tone that bordered on hopeful as both him and Grim tried to squirm away.

“I have changed my mind!”

The silent fuck that ran through all of their minds was palpable.

The man chuckled and squeezed their shoulders tighter.

“It seems that Night Raven College will be gaining some new students.”

GOOD AFTERNOON, I am awake, and I have ideas which means I am not shutting up so I can take time off summer work!!

Witch Hat Atelier Yuu AU!! (Yuu is Gender Neutral here, with They/Them being used.)

Yuu is currently a graduated witch (aged somewhere around 16-17) and is currently practicing making various types of glyphs. Their outfits are always filled with a glyphbook, a sketchbook and extra paper, items for making glyphs (like the conjuring ink, pens, and what else, plus a just in case for ink making), plus their shoes are soarboots. They're ambidextrous due to their practice and due to having a tendency of causing their wrists to suffer and are dextrous enough to use their feet and mouth to write.

This Yuu is a bit more excitable and curious than most but is also very keen and understanding. Though, at the start, their guard was up due to their suspicion. They slowly do get used to NRC, with a bit of annoyed jabs to Crowley.

Yuu relies on their glyphs less than they did pre-travel to Twisted Wonderland but they do rely on them in secret and have practiced them a lot.

The ink of their glyphs attract overblots, much to their dismay, and often causes issues for Yuu to deal with. It's awful enough that they decided to try and study overblots to save themself.

Yuu has interest in magic, and is often curious at the magic this current world holds for them to see. They can't use that magic but they do try recreating it, so long as it won't break the laws of their world's magic.

There was a time that, during their birthday, someone gave them art materials (rulers, protractors, those pens where you can make a perfect circle, circle rulers with loads of sizes, and more) which caused Yuu to make lots of glyphs for fun out of gratitude and extreme excitement.

Yuu is a very studious person and takes note on anything needed to understand. They're someone who takes note with any needed detail. They pay attention to detail and often portray things as such.

Yuu finds interest in Ignihyde and Diasomnia especially, with one specializing in magic and the other in technology. Yuu likes to learn more from those dorms especially and is a bit more excitable around them but tries to act calm about it, though it's something very noticeable even if they try to act calm.

Possible spoilers for WHA under the cut + Angsty things:

Yuu utilizes memory wiping glyphs on the regular, much to their annoyance. Yuu doesn't hesitate to do it and is very swift with their choice on doing that.

Yuu has tried forbidden spells in secret from a spellbook the Brimhats brought to them. However, no one has found out and they don't speak of those rules of magic to Twisted Wonderland simply because they don't know the full story yet.

Yuu hides their glyphs at first and only does it in secret but is forced to use them in chapter 4, especially with the Jamil Hypnosis thing going on. They do use it in secret before it, with the main ones being the soarboots and glyphs used to make hidden areas.

Yuu isn't on good terms with the Knights Moralis, since they've sensed a trace of the Brimhats from them, much to their confusion. They do their best to not interact with them much and do follow their rules. Yuu has learned their lesson from that encounter and tries to follow the rules more, especially around Riddle who reminds them of the Knights.

Yuu doesn't have the best self esteem as a witch, they tend to be jealous of those that have accomplished a lot and want to be just like them, but they lack the chances to do so. Yuu was basically placed on the back burner as a witch, but they keep trying to improve just so they could be good enough for someone.

Yuu wasn't the first option for many Professors and was often picked last, and was the last apprentice around the same age with the others to be chosen by the professor. Yuu kept on trying and trying, even trying to use tricks to get the upper hand, but they didn't find any use in it. Once they graduated, they wanted to create more glyphs to practice but also to let out steam.

They created a scream-box where you can scream into it about your feelings and keep it in there, but those emotions will come back once someone listens to it. Yuu didn't reveal nor show it to anyone because they used it to scream their feelings out.

Yuu has made various magically enhanced things in order to make sure their wish to improve as a witch won't die. It's only in Twisted Wonderland where they found use to being a witch and keep going as one.

Adventures through Twisted Wonderland Book 5- A Beautiful Tyrant

Part 23/?

Previous, Next

Spoilers!

Click pics for better quality

Vil’s journey to insanity continues

I kinda mentioned this last part, but I definitely get why Vil was upset. Did he handle that anger well? No, but tbh I would be pissed too

ME TOO BESTIE

In all seriousness though I think it’s really cool how everything just sort of stopped all at once and without any words at all gave us a hint on the kind of mindset Vil is in right now.

Oh look at Yuu getting visions while they’re awake now.. I wonder if that’s gonna start happening more frequently after chapter 6..

Ok, Yuu. Let’s think about this one realistically. What exactly are you planning on doing to stop him? What would you realistically be able to do on your own to stop him? Now, I get that you probably didn’t realize what exactly he was planning on doing. But you did know that it wasn’t anything good, yes? So now you’ve followed Vil to be a witness to his murder attempt with no back up other than Grim. If this was someone else and not Vil this would be a very dangerous move and could potentially get you killed right along with him. Besides that you were still very lucky that there were others that noticed there was someone going on with Vil as well, because seeing how this scene played out, you didn’t seem to have much hope of stopping this on your own. Let someone know next time don’t just follow him on your own snsuxgshj

Now Vil. Time for you to think about this one realistically. Let’s say Neige drinks the apple juice and kicks the bucket. Since you were the last person who was seen near him, giving him something to consume, you would more than likely be the main suspect. There’s also the fact that yes, technically Neige was alone, but Yuu and Grim followed you here, and will be witnesses to Neige’s death. Not to mention the fact that there are probably cameras set up here as well…. Or at least, I hope there are. Either way, the fact that you’re using that specific brand of apple juice is another strike against you since you yourself posted about it recently. Again, not to mention how all of this would reflect on Epel and his family. Point is, if you had succeeded in this, it really wouldn’t have worked out for you. You’re smarter than this, Vil.

And Rook. You didn’t think I was going to leave you out of this rant, did you? Absolute dumbass right here. So you were going to drink a poisoned drink that you knew was poisoned because you “want to believe in him”. Just what did you think you going to accompany by doing that? Like, what was the goal? Because you knew it was poisoned, given your own urgency for Neige to leave as well as you quite clearly seeing Vil’s reaction. So tell me, how is drinking that apple juice going to help anyone? It would be one thing for you to tell Neige that you need it to drink it simply as a means of getting it away from him, but even after he left you were still going to drink it so what exactly are you trying to prove by drinking this on purpose? Not only does it just not make any sense for you to do this, it makes things worse for Vil as well. You’re ultimately adding on to the guilt that Vil is already going to be feeling and is ultimately going to be the cause of his overblot. If you want him to see that what he’s doing is wrong, this is probably the worst way to go about it.

On another note, Kalim gets absolutely pissed in this scene at Vil and Rook, which I honestly love. I’m glad that we’re getting a highlight that Kalim is more emotionally intelligent than he might seem and also Rook being yelled at for his nonsensical, unhelpful actions as well as Vil getting yelled at for stooping the way he did after telling the team that they were going to win fairly.

I mentioned this a little above, but guilt is in fact the thing that ultimately leads to Vil’s overblot, but the way that he “explains” it is interesting to me. So Vil is obsessed with this Image of “beauty” and “ugliness” but it’s all metaphorical for his attitude and actions. That’s the reason why Neige was seen as the fairest of all, because he was seen as pure and “pretty”. That’s the reason Vil was jealous of him. Vil wanted to be a hero and to be seen as this version of beautiful and pure and be the fairest of all as a result. Just now, he tried to do something that was in great contrast to what he wanted for himself, he did something “ugly” in spirit. Now he sees himself as an “ugly villain”, which from what I can tell, would be something close to being his greatest fear, and is also feeling the guilt that’s associated with that. This is the reason why he overblots.

Ok so on another note I think it’s hilarious that we can choose weather Yuu is paralyzed or not I don’t really know I find it so funny but I do lmao

If overblot bad, why hot?

I mean.. actually no, I don’t really have anything else to say here. He’s beautiful.

Welp. Let’s see if I’m going to get my ass kicked.

If it’s bad enough I’ll make a separate post about it lmao like I did with Jamil. ✌️
