A luxury of few~

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Aventurine is quiet as he stands on one of the lower balconies in Golden Hour, overlooking the streets below, bustling and filled with people.

The gambler supposes Golden Hour may be his favourite dreamscape in Penacony, as many others would agree. It feels warm here, and the abundant festivities almost always find a way to distract the blonde from whatever is troubling his thoughts.

Almost. Almost, because dreams are meant for the lucky few who have the luxury of being able to escape reality. Although Aventurine would argue himself lucky indeed, such a trivial luxury is unfortunately not one he has the possibility of partaking in.

Even in a place like Golden Hour, the gambler can never escape what he truly is, nor the past that haunts him. He will never be simply “Aventurine”, for erasing a part of oneself is quite a difficult task indeed.

His eyes skate across the scenery in a meek attempt to distract himself, to allow himself to get swept away by the hustle and bustle of the place, to lose himself in the music and parties and neon lights.

His gaze rests on a young couple of women, one about a foot shorter than the other. The taller one must make some sort of joke, because the shorter woman’s face twists up into a smile and Aventurine swears he can hear the echo of soft laughter.

He can’t explain the feeling he gets while he watches the couple, the shorter woman pulling in the other for a kiss, and he would chastise himself for intruding on such a private moment— but the pull of pure joy emanating from the couple is far too tempting.

The taller woman pulls the shorter woman into her arms, and they stand together, swaying softly from side to side.

Something about the gesture makes Aventurine’s breath hitch, and his chest constrict. He looks away immediately, fixing his eyes on the slot machines not much further away.

The gambler can’t help but reassure himself that he must be familiar with the gesture, and that it must remind him of someone… but in the end, it seems to be quite the opposite.

As much as the blonde would love to say that he can relate to the feeling of pure, unadulterated love shared between two people, just as the two women share bliss in each other’s company, the truth would be far from the illusion.

It’s been so long since Aventurine has last been held that the memory of such a sensation has long since faded away… but he yearns for it nonetheless, wants so badly—

There’s a hole in Aventurine’s heart, and the grand spectacles in Golden Hour and endless thrills of Penacony can only do so much to fill it.

favorite fling posse moments from the radio shows

- gentaro referring to himself as “gencharo” in a cutesy tone. the fandom refusing to let this go. 

- gentaro inventing the name “ameyume combo” for him and ramuda

- ramuda essentially getting kicked off the air his first show because he gave such unhelpful non-advice

- ramuda asking a listener for pictures from her surgery

- dice casually announcing he’s classically trained in violin and piano but prefers to whistle grass

- ramuda and gentaro getting way too excited about dominoes; dice not understanding this at all but still setting up the dominoes for them anyway as if he is a babysitter entertaining small children

- ameyume accusing dice of being unromantic

- the reveal that when fling posse goes out to eat dice sits on the floor and this has happened enough times that restaurants just expect it and just let it happen

- gentaro’s thing with dinosaurs

- gentaro on multiple occassions refusing to acknowledge questions about adhering to deadlines (ramuda joining him once too)

something i ponder a lot is how much kokichi knew about the killing game, and how early on.

he knew they were being watched by an audience, probably as early as chapter 1, but i think he knew more than that.

because of chapter 5 we know that he has some inkling of an idea that the mastermind is manipulating their memories (him telling maki that the mastermind lied to her/tricked her into killing him). did he know that more of their memories were faked? did he believe his own backstory, his own ultimate?

i think it probably clicked for him in chapter 2. he took as many motive videos as he could to try and prevent them from BEING a motive, but he probably watched all of the ones he got (to see exactly what the mastermind was trying to feed them, and to try and learn something about the mastermind etc.) would seeing all their "backstories" together like that set off alarm bells for him? would it all just seem a little too fake, a little too perfect for television?

this also explains all the discrepancies in what he says about his ultimate and his organization. he only ever says things about his org that make him sound tough, but he never actually uses his ultimate to his advantage. he kept his motive video very much to himself not only because it made him seem weaker, but because he didn't believe DICE was real. why tell the "truth" about something you aren't sure is REAL, especially if that "truth" doesn't match your perfectly curated image?

after the ch 2 trial is the first time kokichi changes the writing on the stone. if that was when he realized their memories were lies, it would make sense that he would fight fire with fire, fight lies with a bigger lie. he was planning to pretend to be the mastermind as early as chapter 2, and that informs everything he does for the rest of the game.
