(TAKIZAWA SEIDOU | TOKYO GHOUL urls: ofbeingsecondbest, haemophobic)

it’s impolite to randomly stare at people.  REALLY, IT IS.  but see, it’s seidou’s day off, so ey stopped caring approximately three hours ago.  AKIRA AND AMON AREN’T HERE to tell seidou not to stare ( because seidou never fucking cared for social convention. ) so SEIDOU IS STARING.

but then ey finally caves in.  ey’s gotta share this Important Dog Fact (TM).

“uhm, excuse me, miss?”  and with no preamble:  “DID YOU KNOW THAT dogs are actually so loyal that every time they see you, they get the same release of chemicals in them that a human does when they fall in love?”

eir hand grips eir bag tightly.

“yeah, really!”  ey continues on, beginning to walk alongside the person.  “and dogs’ eyes contain a special membrane, called the tapetum lucidum, which allows them to see in the dark.”

and ey doesn’t shut up.  it’s almost too easy, as the ghoul thinks they lured the investigator into an alleyway.  except seidou’s grinning, and has douhi in front of em, and ey shoots.

“man.  an autistic guy infodumps, and you try eating em?  I SEE HOW IT IS.  i don’t even taste good.”

      "SEIDOU, IT’S RARE TO see you around here. You'd almost make me think you were looking for me." That was only a small tease mainly, although he couldn't help feeling curious about what the other man was up to. Seidou's mind was complex to him now, though...truth be told, he...admittedly did not know as much about Seidou as he would have liked. They were coworkers, and he would like to say friends as well; however, he never really took time to really know him. He lamented that now, wishing that he had just taken the other male out and talked to him outside of just a professional environment. “For how long does the ‘little king’ intend on ignoring me before they lose patience?”

just one yesterday

‘This world is wrong.’ He has said that once and still believed it to be true. However, just because a point of view could still be put into the same words didn’t mean that it remained unchanged. The world he knew had been twisted, warped, blurred until once-crisp black and white lines morphed into a mass of grey. For all that the world was wrong, it had also been simple. The wrong, the right, eradicate one side and begin setting things right. Now nothing was simple. No longer could he point and say with certainty ‘this is wrong’ and ‘this is right’.

(Well, almost. There was a certain society, a handful of people, who had proven themselves to be some of the closest to the demons he had once imagined.)

Self-pity, for all that it was a human emotion (not that he had any right to be classified as human anymore), was also a loathe-some one, and thus one he tried his best to push away. There was no point in it. Not only was it useless, but there were others who had endured so much more, so much worse, that him making a claim to it was laughable. (Not everyone had escaped. That ‘almost’ between the shades of grey was an important one indeed. Some things he could not forgive, no matter how much perspective he gained.)

He supposed that one of the ‘perks’ (nothing about this situation could truly be considered good.) of his condition was the senses. He knew that someone was there long before he saw anyone or said anything. Part of him was pretty sure he knew who it was as well. (He hoped Mado’s intuition had rubbed off on him. It was more comforting than the notion that he was beginning to be able to recognise individuals by scent.)

Amon continued walking through the night for only a short while after ‘noticing’ the other presence. It was only after he turned a corner that he came to a stop. No words. If it was who he thought it was (guilt) he wasn’t going to speak first. If not... well. No point in wasting words. (He supposed he must fairly suspicious. Then again, dilapidated area as this was, he doubted that anyone who saw would be surprised by shadowy figures in the night.)

ofbeingsecondbest replied to your post “TOORU TOLD SAIKO TO HIDE AND JUMPED RIGHT INTO A FIGHT WITH TORSO. YOU...”

AND HE WAS GONNA TURN TORSO TO HAMBURGER AND HE WAS DOING SO GOOD AND IS GOING ON A FIGHT WITH TATARA'S DIRECT SUBORDINATE HE IS SO STRONG

TOORU IS JUST SO FUCKING DONE HE WAS GONNA TURN TORSO INTO HAMBURGER and then my wife appeared and on one hand i want my son to finish the job but my new wife....

YEA LIKE FUCK EVERYONE WHO SAID HE DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE RANK ONE, LOOK AT HIM GO. he didn’t argue with Sasaki or doubt himself, he was just like “alright Sasaki is strong, I’ll go help the others” and then when he was cut off by torso he didn’t even pause, just adjusted and started fighting torso instead. and omg his face when torso was like “remember me tooru let’s go for a ride, we’ll have fun” he was so done, it was beautiful.

but yeah if she’s Tatara’s direct subordinate, she’s gonna be pretty powerful, and I doubt she’d get introduced with black fingernails and using a quinque just to be killed off in the first fight she’s in.

ofbeingsecondbest: pietro has taken on the muse of a character within the fandom that may seem minor, and has easily made them one of my favorite characters in the entire series. seidou's story is incredible, and pietro has done a wonderful job of writing him. they take on interesting alternate paths to the story to aid in developing a character they have an amazing grasp on, and being their roleplay partner is a total treat.

sitting on the edge of forever

The auction raid was an event that could be described with the words ‘chaos’ and ‘pain’. Blood flew and terror was wrought. It was as it was winding down that the ground began to shake. Just a few seconds of the world spinning. When it finally fell still, select individuals were blinded by a flash of light.

What they saw once the light died away could also be described with ‘chaos’ and ‘pain’. Similar words, very different situation. A raid, but the wrong one. It was Kanou’s lab. Kanou’s lab, under raid by the CCG, over three years ago.

Welcome back. Aren’t you happy to see you?

ooc: Welcome, friends, to the time travel shenanigans plot! If you find yourself tagged in this post, then congratulations, you’ve agreed to ride on this crazy train with us! Just to clear a few things up, we will be using the branch/multiverse theory of time travel for this plot. Due to the size of it, all threads taking place in this verse/plot will be tagged with ‘v; sitting on the edge of tomorrow’.

                     Miza would have been far better suited to this. The task of what was in his eyes, effectively dogsitting, demanded someone who unlike Naki, had an aptitude for shrouding how incredibly uneasy the other’s presence makes him. He’s a far cry from being any stranger to the crack of bones, the horrible squelching of blood and gore... but when they come from this... thing, it’s somehow enough to make his skin crawl.

ofbeingsecondbest replied to your post “I always thought the “rabbits can die of loneliness” thing was...”

yeah yeah like???? tbh i always saw that line referring to kaneki, but hide was trying to do it in a way that was subtle, and kaneki (and the fans) misinterpreted

Yes yes, exactly!

I mean. Kaneki closing himself off from others when he’s hurting is a habit he’s had throughout the series, and everyone close to him has noticed and tried to help him in different ways. (See: Banjou saying he’d always be by Kaneki’s side and that Kaneki needed to be saved first, Tsukiyama comforting him and giving him books, Hinami noticing he was upset and taking him out to meet Takatsuki, Touka bluntly telling him that he was being selfish, etc.)

Idk I figured the rabbit comment was Hide trying to reach out to Kaneki, because he’s definitely seen Kaneki isolate himself before, and Hide’s ways of interacting with Kaneki are always very subtle -- he doesn’t push or pry or even explicitly say anything out loud when Kaneki’s upset.

                                Thick heels echoed the damp streets, a faint, yet very familiar aroma tickling her nose. The scent of freshly spilled blood stained the streets, a crooked grin adorning porcelain features. Just who was hanging around, so close to her place of residence? Gradually approaching, the informant was almost stunned to see a partially eaten corpse, though no ghoul in sight.

                                “Mmn...” She frowned, light disappointment sighing from her nose. “And here I wanted to see something fun...”

yo, pals!  i'm not sure if anybody's seen the """callout""" post in my tag, but if you have, i do not condone anybody responding to the post, or contacting the op in any way.  they've admitted they do not know the situation, and frankly, it smells a lot like they're attempting to stir a pot for attention.  thank you all, and when i finish re-sorting my attack wing stuff, i'll be online!

“I see that you tend to eat rather...sloppily,” she mused from a small balcony not too far from the most recent kill. “Haven’t you ever thought about eating more gracefully? I’m sure it would taste even better once it’s presentable,” she continued, a leg swinging freely, heel clicking against the iron bars, black hair getting tossed by the wind.
