college au w/ atsumu for your warmups? maybe him working up the courage to talk to his crush? please and thanks!
sure thing! thanks for popping in and i hope u like :3 writing warmups if u wanna request!
“excuse me?” atsumu silently celebrates the fact that his voice doesn’t crack like he thought it might. his heart flutters in his chest when you turn around and meet his gaze, eyes slightly widened as you pause putting in your second earbud. he catches himself staring a second too long before subtlety shaking his head and holding out his hand. “i think you dropped this.”
your eyes drop to the tube of chapstick in his open palm. it’s not the brand you typically buy and even if it was, yours is safely tucked away in your pocket. “oh, that’s not mine.”
atsumu knows that—it’s actually his. it was meant to be a simple conversation starter but he hadn’t thought ahead to what he might say to keep said conversation going. he didn’t really think any of this through.
he just really, really, wanted to talk to you.
a million thoughts race through his head as he nervously ponders what to do next. does he admit his mistake and walk away with his tail between his legs, taking away nothing but embarrassment from the interaction? does he brush it off and continue like it’s nothing? how does one segue from “hey did you drop this?” to “i think you’re cute and have been wanting to ask you out almost the entire semester”?
“wait,” you start, and your voice immediately earns atsumu’s undivided attention. maybe you’ll save him the effort of having to figure that last one out. “isn’t that yours?”
or maybe you caught him in his lie and he has some explaining to do. his mouth opens and closes as he tries to think up an explanation that make this seem at least a little less pathetic than it is. before he can, another thought pops into his mind. his eyebrows knit together in confusion. “how did you know that?”
maybe you’ve been sneaking peeks of your own throughout the semester.

Bear story incoming. I used to live near a large swath of woods, and we saw all kinds of wildlife—including bears—wander into our backward (don’t even get me started on the turkey anomaly). My brother was home with a high fever, and he saw some black in the backyard so he got a better look. His first thought was, “Wow, that is a giant cat.” It was a black bear.

Random question which I’m not sure if you got an ask similar to or what but how well do you think Chiba does when it comes to horror and stuff? Is he down right terrified or is he just neutral to stuff like that?
Also, what would you say actually scares him?
Horror, you say?
He's... not very good at them 😭
And as for things that actually scares him, he doesn't really have that much. But one big fear of his, I think, is being isolated from others, or even just the feeling, since it stems from his childhood trauma that shaped him into the people-pleasing guy that he is today.
So anything that makes him feel like he's being ignored or forgotten counts.

Hey! so!
This is a spooky post, okay? it's really edgy so please be warned if you don't like dark themes! <3
Not sure if this is an unnecessary warning or not but better safe than sorry :'D I've got a lot of fluffy drawings queued after this ehehe I just wanted to do something angsty
A-4. Hm.
C-1. You said something, Atius?
A-4. There is a recurring trend here; it heals faster and more efficiently when under pressure. These were all times when we cut costs on anesthesia.
C-1. Interesting... More effectively you say?
A-4. Yes. Remarkably so, I'd say the injur-... affected areas have a much higher rate of functionality than they held previously. Just look at the cardiopulmonary results from a year ago to now- I'd even go as far as to say that it's possible to have more successful splices on this specimen in the future.
C-1. What is stopping us from doing this from now on?
A-4. Ah.. I would advise against it. There’s the question of excessive stress-
C-1. A non-issue, our goal is progress.
A-4. As well as the scarring-
C-1. We never truly cared about cosmetics, now did we?
A-4. This might also worsen its mental state-
C-1. Mental state? Ha! It's a good thing we start cutting some costs then. We let it get too comfortable at the cost of precious time. Its tolerance has made things terribly expensive for daily practice. I say let it scream, they stop eventually. Do consider providing our staff with adequate noise protection though.
A-4. ...Understood, Cain.
C-1. Atius?
A-4. Yes sir?
C-1. You say that physical duress makes it... Better? Stronger?
A-4. At the cost of physical and m-mental integrity, yes. It makes for an unnaturally fast healing process.
C-1. It’s a wonder why we even bothered waiting between procedures!
A-4. ...
C-1. You say this is observable in other parts of its body as well?
A-4. ...Sir...
C-1. Answer me, Atius. You know what you signed.
A-4. Yes sir.
A-4. ...
A-4. As you can see on the following diagrams, the specimen has been performing optimally in concordance with our standards. Fall simulations led to a higher observable bone density. Strength output has improved post-muscle failure. Flexibility has grown after hyperextension. This goes without mentioning fight simulations, which have ameliorated reaction time, effectiveness, and overall damage output. The only issue is altitude tolerance; pressure trials have been unsuccessful as of late.
C-1. How durable... It's the sort of reform I expect from immortals.
A-4. ...
A-4. I must ask you to reconsider though, Cain— the forced heal leaves a harsher effect on his-
C-1. Looks like we did something right after all.
A-4. ...
C-1. ...Mm. So these are all of our projections?
A-4. ...Yes.
C-1. I see. Vision isn't on par with our metrics. Fix this.
A-4. Cain, there isn't any more we can do to increase this field. We've used all sorts of methods to achieve this.
C-1. Then break his eyes next.
-
And thus, here is the biggest antagonist to Vincent's story- Cain. He's might be even worse than Titan. You'll hate him! I hope.
Cain is a human-passing, vampiric variant who feeds off of the pain and suffering of others. He became a monocular double amputee by his own son in hopes that he would never be able to harm someone else. A torturer by heart, he joins careers that give him the opportunity to consume the most to anesthetize himself and offset his own discomfort. He gets his fix by being the head of hundreds of processing units, including Project Venus, where he assured the CFO that he would deliver the results they were robbed of by Roxanne.
Thus, he is free to do anything with the rough draft, so long as they get results, improvement, and new data on this modified species.
By any means necessary....
