(For Halloween!)

"Oi, Shdwkyz! I got you this spicy shrimp ramen for Halloween! I thought you'd like it since you mentioned shrimp was your fave!"

"Some pork ramen for Oblivion, too!"

"Taz and Navarro, I thought you guys might like these chicken flavoured ones - they're a good start if you're not sure which ramen you like yet!"

"There's also some spicy flavours for Gerald, Navarro and Jaron naturally, if you like those!"

"Also for Ink, I saved you a good one - special limited edition Halloween ramen! Apparently the noodles look really orange, like a pumpkin!"

"That it is!" Shdwkyz answered with a chuckle, taking the spicy shrimp ramen.

Oblivion nods sliently as she likes pork ramen. As for Taz and Navarro, they grinned as they liked it.

"Chicken is my favorite!" Taz smiled.

"Same here!" Navarro said. "I also want to try out these spicy favors!"

"I love spicy as long as there's meat in it!" Said Gerald.

"Whenever there's spicy, I'm in! Thanks, man!" Said Jaron, thanking Ryuji. The others thanked Ryuji and they looked to ready to dig in until Ryuji announced that he got something good for Ink. A special limited edition. A Halloween ramen. It's something they never heard of!

"Woah!" Ink said, her eyes beaming like stars. Her fraction heard this and were impressed. "Dude! Ryuji! We've gotta eat this together!" Ink said. "Oh! I also got you a cool-looking mask! Here!" Ink got Ryuji..a half skull-mask but this one has horns like a demon. "Here! I also have hot cocoa with pumpkin spice in it!" She snickered.

God and Devils || Closed RP

A starter for @unbrxakxble after here

Rust met up his friends after meeting Mori and his first God encounter, Sun Wukong. When he came, his friends became worried and asked what took him so long to which Rust cannot contain himself and spills out his amazing encounter making his friends bewildered and confused until they process what Rust said to them.

Two name drops. One of these names that three people in the fraction of the DBT have familiar knowledge of.

Sun Wukong. Aka The Monkey King. A God from a Chinese epic tales. A trickster God they said. In the legends such as the Journey to The West, he rebelled against heaven and was punished so the idea of war and destruction in heaven is not too far off. Plus, they know Rust wouldn’t lie something about that. 

Once the team did their research and realized who Rust just met and what he just done. There were mixed reactions.

Handful of them became skeptical yet interested entertaining this idea, a few were upset that Rust would do something so reckless without their consideration and there is one on the team who became so amazed by Rust's story, she believes it right away. She wants to know more about this encounter. This God named Sun Wukong and of course, Mori.

"So he's really strong, Rust? Is he really?" Said a girl in a navy short jacket with light olive skin and black medium hair as her eyes lit up at the idea of fighting a God. Rust grins, "Yeah, stronger than you." Because of that answer, the girl, the leader of the fraction is now stoked as Ruat wanting to learn about Mori and Sun Wukong.

"And you sure, this Mori person knows this Sun Wukong? It sounds off." A masked youth wearing white and gray striped hoodie as he has a long gray scarf.

"Last time I checked, I never heard of Sun Wukong wanting fruits as an offering unless if he is really God then that makes sense." Said a girl wearing teal-colored visors as she wears a blue sweater as she had this emotionless expression on her face while playing her handheld game console.

"Are we seriously going through with this? We gonna let someone who is stronger than Ink on this island?!" Yelled a short teen with black spiky hair and green eyes while fixing his grenade launcher. He wants to know what the hell is Rust thinking right now.

"It seems interested." Said a girl wearing a purple long sleeve vest as she has armor plates on her shoulders. "I said let's see what this Wukong is capable of..."

From the God of Highschool. A young shaven boy thought about it as he heard that name before and it’s not the god. Especially that tournament. Wh

"....." A big redhead looks worried as she crosses her arms. “I still don’t like this.”

Regardless, they can’t just foriet the match at this point. Nobody wants to admit but the idea of fighting a god and watching this fight is tempting in these teen’s minds. So they have to see and what happens. 

----

A week later, Saturday 3:50pm.

And so a week has passed as the teens have trained, prep an area for their fight with the god and are now waiting for the arrival of Sun Wukong on their home island of Wyckoff. 

In the field clear of junkyard, there is only grain and sand. Standing right next to Rust is no other Vanity 'Ink' Vanguard, the leader of the DBT, watching the skies as the time is almost about to hit 4pm. Their friends are also waiting on the stands, anxiously waiting. 

“Do you think he’s going to come, Rust?” Ink asked as she shifts her weight, feeling excited. Rust chuckles,

“Sure is. He’s gonna come. I know it.” Rust grinned. 

[demon-blood-youths]

​A young boy with short hair in a turquoise hoodie is looking for something. Something very important to him. He was playing with it until he did it again without thinking. Not wanting to trouble his friends, he went off in search of it by himself. It has to be around somewhere. 

He check the trashcans, tables, benches, the trees by shaking them and lifting cars with one hand in order to find it.

I think I kick it too hard again. Gerald Herald hopes he can find it, it must of leave a mark somewhere around here. Gerald is holding up a van above his head with one hand as he looks down. Nothing.  Of course, his main quest made him unaware of his surroundings for the moment. He startled few bystanders who are shock to see a child lift something bigger than himself.

[demon-blood-youths]

For @barnabunny​ from here

If there’s anything that Gerald Herald loves more than pie is superheroes! To him, it’s something aspiring and awesome to be! He had super strenght and he wants to save people and save the day. He wonders if he can do that. Maybe he should ask the King of Heroes!  “Um...mister...um...King of Heroes. Can you sign my autograph?!” Gerald asked as he looks nervous to meet his hero. 

[demon-blood-youths]

@mxsecarnival​ send: [ 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 ] - Let's just say that the Captain organizes a private Thanksgiving dinner for Rust and his friends~

“Hey Rust! Who’s that guy?” It was Ink, the leader of the DBT as she is surprised by this. Not to mention, this is the first time she’s meeting the Captian. 

“Heh....guys, this is Captian Commando and well...he’s my friend! Jeez, can’t believe you did this for us, dude!” Rust is surprised and also happy that Captain did something for him and his friends. 

“Wow! The food looks so good! Oh wow! There’s pumpkin pie!” Said Gerald who looks over the food being prepared for them as his eyes beam. But when the words of Captain Commando came out from Rust’s mouth, he gasped. 

“Wait! You’re Captain Commando!? You’re a superhero! I heard about you! You’re so cool!” 

“Not bad.” Said Jaron as he is a home cook, impressed by the Captain. “That turkey looks really good!” He compliment. 

“Indeed. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Captain. It’s nice to meet you.” Said Hellmare. 

“Rust! Why didn’t you said that you met a superhero??!” Navarro asked, who seems wary of Captian despite. He would give this superhero a benefit of a doubt so he wants to see how this turns out during the dinner. 

[demon-blood-youths]

Please 🌺 to every youth Vergie has the honor to have encountered thus far: Shdwkyz, Navarro, Jaron, Rust, Oblivion, Taz, and Gerald.

🌺 - Does your muses have a favorite flower? Why do they like it?

Shdwkyz

Shdwkyz's favorite flower is the White Chrysanthemum. The reason behind it is because the flower to Shdwkyz symbolizes rebirth, truth, and purity.  In Japanese culture, it also means longevity, rejuvenation, and nobility. 

However, there is another important meaning with this flower. 

One that has to do with death. 

In Shdwkyz’s opinion, the flower serves as the harsh truth and death is part of life. That’s why he likes wearing white which serves as a psychological tactic towards his enemies when he goes out hunting. 

--------

Navarro

Loves orange flowers because to Navarro, it looks good and stands out. He has no knowledge of flowers and has trouble remembering their names. However, his favorite is Cymbidium Orchid. 

Just like Navarro, it symbolizes his boldness and his pride despite being young, doesn’t have a lot of abilities like his friends and that includes his height.

That said, he is not afraid to speak out and doesn’t let anyone walk over him. 

------

Jaron

Jaron’s favorite flowers are yellow roses. Just like his presence including his delicious cooking, he cheers his friends on the team by lifting their spirits up. 

Jaron likes to use this flower as a way to decorate the kitchen just to lighten the mood for everyone who comes in. This is yellow roses symbolize as it features Jaron’s personality. 

--------

Rust

Rust’s favorite flower is Gladiolus flowers. Because the shape of its leaves looking like swords, Rust finds them relatable since the swords are protecting something precious ( the flower ) to him. Rust at a young age is fascinating with the stories of knights and knighthood. Just like the flower, the Gladiolus defines faithfulness and integrity which Rust has and believes in the faith of his friends since he trusts them and they trust them. This also includes the strength of character as Rust is headstrong.

That is why he picks Knight as his last name when he became a demon. Plus, it’s the flower that his human mother and his devil, Ironia likes.

--------

Oblivion

Oblivion’s favorite flower is Anemone. She likes the simplicity of the flower and how dark blue it is. She doesn’t care much about flowers however the flower represents protection against evil, bad omens, and bad luck. Despite Oblivion’s emotionless expression and monotonous tone, her actions prove to be telling as she fiercely protects the people she cares about. Her friends and her father. 

Used to be the victim of bullying, she knows evil when she sees it.

--------

Taz

Taz’s favorite flower is Sunflowers. Sunflowers symbolize friendship which Taz wants. To have friends and make friends. Just like Ink, she also wants to friends and she looks up to Ink as her cool big sister.  She also looks up to his friends as big sisters and big brothers. She always wants to cheer her friends up.

Her admiration of her friends comes from her big brother, Tasin who left her in Hellmare’s care.

-------

Gerald

Gerald’s favorite flower is the Gerbera Daisy. He likes the green flower because it reminds him of home and makes it feel calm. That’s why he prefers wearing green or turquoise sweaters. Not to mention, it cheers him just like the flower intends to. As Gerbera Daisy is one of the most popular flowers in the world making Gerald doted on by his teammates due to his innocence and purity.  Just like the flower, these big and bold flowers are a symbol of cheerfulness and purity

That said, Gerald wants to become strong and smart so he can protect his friends from danger when he grows up.

Soul Phoenix | Closed RP

After hijacking borrowing an airship in IIyria, the DBT took to the skies. While being in the air, they are planning of what’s next in their adventure. They probably thinking of going to Zepp or Korea! However, the plans have changed as they were low on supplies after flying so long. Not to mention, the teens were bored and wanted to take a break from being in the air. 

So, the DBT landed somewhere in China, not too far from a small town. The team disembarked from the ship, wade through the woods and goes on to explore the town in search of supplies and food. 

In the meantime, a young homecook in  white and grey clothes with an apron on and is preparing food for the team. He had kitchen equipment set up, thanks to having rocks brought over by the youngest if not the strongest member, Gerald. 

Jaron Jackal is glad that the airship they stole borrow had a kitchen installed. He put up a rack of spare ribs he already marinated added with a spice rub, he made thanks to the ingredients he brought. He put over it on charcoal grill over the fire. The fire is set lit thanks to Maggie as she watches over the food. In the meantime, he is making wild rice and mac-n-cheese. 

The smell begins to fill the woods and soon the aroma spreads to the town from the camp. 

“That smells so good!” Said Gerald happily.

“Well...it’s going to be even better when you start eating.” Jaron said with a smile as he keep on cooking. Soon, his friends would return back to camp with supplies they brought over.

Entry Into The Tournament | Closed RP

“Finally, we’re here!” A blond in a grey hoodie with gears that is drawstrings grins as they enter the lobby that held the competitive fighters. 

“So cool!” Said a young boy with a shaven head wearing a turquoise hoodie, wearing short khakis and sneakers. He had wrapped bandaged on top of his white socks. 

“Yeah, there’s a lot of people here.” Said a big girl with the flaming redhead, she wears a short black jacket over her white blouse, she is wearing black pants and boots. She wears silver bracelets.

“Yeah, no doubt.” Said a black youth wearing classy white and grey. He wears a gray vest over his white sleeved buttoned shirt. He wears grey pants, suede shoes and finally wears a white stockman hat over his short afro hair.

“Hahaha! Let’s get a move on and check-in!” Rust Knight looks at his team and motion for them to get a move on, but the blond end up bumping into someone.

“Oh crap! Sorry! Ya okay?” Rust asked as he looks to the person he bumped into.

Lost | Closed RP

“Uh...where was the lobby thing again?” Asked a young boy with a shaven head wearing a turquoise hoodie sweater, short khaki pants, and sneakers where he has wrapped bandages over his knees and socks. 

Gerald Herald told his friends, his team that he wants to use the restroom. For once, Gerald wants to be independent for once without the help of his big sister, Maggie.  He’s not a little kid anymore. He needs to be strong if he wants to fight the other fighters. Plus, the bathroom isn’t too far. 

But how can he find his way back?! The place is huge and it’s like a maze with a bunch of empty hallways. There should be a way to find it.  He tries to find his way but he was distracted by things.

Huh? Gerald blinked his dark green eyes as he sees someone. Oh! Maybe he should ask him for directions. Remember his manners thanks to Maggie. He approaches the person.

“Excuse me...mister,” Gerald speaks. “I’m lost, can you tell where to find...uh...the place that everyone is signing up and checking in?”

Gerald The Grendal seeks help from @amanogaawa​​ ( Iori)

[demon-blood-youths]

"ah! um, excuse me? do you know where I can find any sandwhich shops around here?" leo approaches the first friendly person he could find, his cellphone dumbly hanging loose at his side in his sweaty palm. zapp had texted him the name of this place, but the teen had already been running around for over an hour to find the stupid place & lunch time was almost over. zapp definitely wasn't getting any food, for all leo knew, the cafe didn't even exist. man, he was starving. (to rust or gerald)

“Sandwich shops?” Gerald blinked his green eyes at the short young man. “I know where the pies are but I think I know!” He smiled before turning to a blond teen, “Uhhh...Rust! Do you know any sandwich shops around here? This mister needs help!” Gerald points to Leonardo. 

“Sandwich shops?” Rust looks over Leonardo with a curious look. “I don’t know but I do know some good delis that make good sandwiches! It’s not far from here! Want us to take ya there?” Sometimes...sandwich shops and delis are interchanged and it can be confusing, “If anythin, they’re the same thing. Is there a specific deli ya wanna find?” @animatedatrophy

I. THE MAGICIAN — What does your muse consider theirself an expert in?

Alright for this ask! You get four muses for this! Enjoy! ^w^

I. THE MAGICIAN — What does your muse consider theirself an expert in?

Jaron

“I might be good at cooking but I’m expert at racing.”

Jaron in the team is considered the best cook in the team by his teammates However Jaron doesn’t think so as he is practicing and cooking based on his grandmother’s recipes. The thing Jaron considered himself best is being the best driver at drag racing. Meaning he’s an expert at getting away when driving an car. It brings out a different side to him which is a daredevil at racing with little fear. Which is the opposite of him cooking because he’s cooking for other people and feels at peace. In drag racing, it’s another stress relief as he lets out all intense emotions when driving.

Rust

“Need fixing? Bring it here!”

While Rust considered himself a good fighter out of everyone. But if we’re talking about expert, it would be Rust being an expert at being an mechanic or rather a young engineer. Before he became a demon, he used to work on parts on machines with his father at the factory he used to work for. After his passing and before he joined the team, he only use his knowledge to tinker on his metal demon arm, Destroyer only and nothing else. His biggest fear was that the things he built might put people out of his work or bring more harm than good. When he joined the DBT, his fear wavered and the things he built with his friends made him happy once more. Not to mention, making him proud of his work as his friends complimenting on his skills. Whenever he fixes or built, it’s either  Jaron’s car or doing side projects with Oblivion and Fosh.

Taz “I’m not like you guys, but I want to help out!”

While being one of the youngest girls on the team, Taz is an expert at tracking people down and running away safely since she is taught by Shdwkyz and Hellmare on how to utilize her abilities. Thanks to their training, Taz is good at being a great scout when searching for things or for people if technology doesn’t work. The reason for this training was because of his older brother that left her in the care of Hellmare. Another reason is that Taz is not good at combat like the others since she’s too young. Therefore, she always tries her best when there are things missed or when an teammate goes missing. She wants the admiration and attention from her friends. She wants to be the best helper!

Gerald

“Hey guys! Look, I think I see that move before!”

One of the youngest boys and one of the strongest on the team, Gerald became an expert at recognizing fighting styles. Despite lacking on other subjects when he was in school like Math, Science, English and other things. On his free time, he admires famous fighters and watched them on TV.  Soon, his preferred knowledge of fighting and other martial arts grows especially when it comes in fighting others either for competition and serious situations. Right away, he tells his friends when he recognizing an famous fighter or a martial art style unless the fighter is in disguise or hasn’t watch a lot of TV. However, he learns on how to fight thanks to Rust as he focuses on his defense and making it an offensive.  @culinaryphoenix

Holiday in Japan | Closed RP

It’s been a long time since she came back here. To the country where she fled after suffering some difficulties. Oblivion exited the bus along with her friends as they were awed at their new place for their vacation. Thanks to Fosh as they found an Airbnb and paid the whole building of four stories for their stay. 

The team moves in and settles right away after deciding what floors and rooms they want to take! After a while of getting settled and unpack their luggage. Rust suggested going to the convenience store to get stuff. Oblivion just tags along with him, Gerald, Maggie, Taz, and Ink. While the rest is just staying there or just decide to explore the neighborhood that is Inaba. 

“Oh! Let’s go there!” Rust pointed to the store. The team went inside and checks it out.

Oblivion looks over to the cashier that had sliver hair yet looks young.  Huh, that’s new. She looks at the cashier for a moment before turning her eyes.

“Heya! What’s up!” Ink grinned at the cashier. Taz and Gerald who are the youngest of the team flashed the cashier some smiles.
