Who do you think would be the mtl jealous bf in riize?

OMGG ive been waiting for an ask like this 😭

MTL JEALOUS BF IN RIIZE based on astrology ~

(reminder that this for fun and astrology is something I study for a hobby, these are all inferences based off of observations and not exact fact unless I knew them myself !!)

Most

Sungchan - Tbsh his jealousy would be pretty overboard and extremely obvious like a blaring red signal. He would NOT play about you. His cancer moon makes him pretty sensitive and obvious with his emotions so if he felt jealous he'd get in his feelings or even sulk/ruminate as well as he'd take it pretty personal and have a hard time letting go. His leo venus makes him pretty dramatic 😭. This venus paired with his moon might make him cause a scene or "act out" . His venus+moon leads to him wanting your care and attention on him and him alone. His cap mars screams possessiveness and being restrictive, he'd get so possessive do not let him see you laugh at another guys jokes or be helpful to another guy he'd be FUMING .

Wonbin - I honestly wasn't going to rank Wonbin this high but then I remembered his taurus mars paired with venus square pluto and pluto conjunct lilith so...here we are LMFAOO. From my own personal observations taurus mars is way more possessive in comparison to taurus venus; those pluto/venus/lilith aspects paired with his mars can make his jealousy take a snowball effect leading to an emotional avalanche. Plus a power imbalance fueling the jealousy even more and leading to him being restrictive. However, I ranked him below Sungchan because Sungchan would be VERY petty and loud about his jealousy while Wonbin would most likely silently seethe (due to his pisces sun, aquarius mercury) until he ultimately can't handle holding back, but until then his jealousy would still be DEEP.

Shotaro - His scorpio moon+capricorn venus makes him take the relationship pretty seriously. He craves stability and honesty and once he feels like his jealousy is compromising the security and trust in the relationship he must act ! He won't be too quick to jump into conclusions because of his libra mars, he'd probably think things through before asking/acting on his jealousy..and he might front and pretend he's only a tiny bit jealous/concerned when really it's weighing heavy on his heart in the beginning. When he is jealous he'd be more quiet and less jovial than he usually is. He'd be pretty straight up and might even just ask/tell you about how he's feeling. When things are clarified things will be cool again and he'll go back to being your sweet taro and hopefully stop staring daggers into the random guy talking to you while smiling.

Anton - Very unserious, would text "what position he got you in" and move on with his day. KIDDDING kind of 😭 He'd have short phases of possessiveness due to his taurus venus. His moon square saturn and venus square neptune can lead to slight paranoia and being unable to naturally express his insecurities which could be the source of the jealousy. Despite these things he wouldn't express his jealousy in toxic or overboard ways, he'd probably express his jealousy through jokes or non seriousness hoping you would pick up on it (you probably would with that mercury aries, straight to the point) If he ever did tell you straight up he wouldn't be too harsh he'd just want to be honest and being reassured will patch everything right up.

Sohee - I ranked Sohee this low because honestly when reading his chart I feel like his jealousy would, similarly to Anton's, be quick to come and go. He'd be quick to say something or show that he's uncomfortable. He wouldn't sit you down to have a serious convo about it, but it would have to just passively come out in conversation . As soon as he felt reassured then he'd be fine once again. Now if it was an ongoing issue of scenarios that led to him being jealous then he'd have a more serious even messy approach (his mars square pluto) his temper would awaken. But outside of that he trusts you, even if he doesn't trust and is suspicious of the guys around you he trusts YOUUU at the very end.

Seunghan - Oh the lovely boyfriend that just wants to keep the peace. He wouldn't want you to hound him out of jealousy so he ofc wouldn't do that to you either. If he was jealous he'd be more emotional rather than being petty+aggressive. His mercury is exalted in virgo so he'd definitely want to talk about it or at least let you know how he feels. Outside of that I think he'd want to avoid such a thing in the first place. He'd trust you as best as he can and wouldn't want there to be an imbalance in the relationship to where one of you are restricting the other due to deep seated jealousy (thanks to his libra sun+venus and sag moon). He quite literally just wants you two to be happy and knows that genuine jealousy can poison such a good thing.

Eunseok - I'm sorry fellow briize but this man is quite literally the least of your concern. His aries venus wouldn't want to make things too serious and ominous with jealousy (plus because he values his freedom so in his mind you must value yours too right ?) His sag mars paired with it means he doesn't want to dwell with thoughts of you possibly giving your attention to other guys. He basically has a nonchalant "she knows where home is" mentality lowkey. Plus if he ever did feel jealous he'd probably not say anything because his cap moon+pisces mercury would barely let him properly express it (with words at least). Also weirdly enough he'd be more jealous if you weren't in a relationship compared to if you guys were; once you two are officially together he wouldn't be as jealous anymore .

satoru gojo x reader (smut) → she/her pronouns!

cunnilingus, fingering, squirting (clingy) gojo eats your pussy out on a desk chair until you squirt this is my 1st smut guys don't kill me ; sorry if this is short

In one of Satoru's old tees and a pair of panties, you're cross-legged on top of your swivel desk chair, clacking and tapping at your fancy keyboard. With his long legs spread out across the majority of your little bed, Gojo folds his hands behind his head as he lays down, watching as you tend to a few work things on the monitor.

The way you sit on chairs is peculiar to Satoru; your feet never touch the ground. The entire room is just filled with sounds of your keyboard, the occasional mouse click or scroll here and there.

Satoru pouts, gazing at you intently to see if you'd read his mind. How could you sit there on that desk chair, looking all pretty while doing work? He's right here, needy and eager for the attention you pump him full with. Part of him wants to annoy you; but he wants you to come to him, not the other way around.

In his mind, it's almost like a game, like a contest to see who can ignore each other the longest. You aren't even ignoring him, just paying attention to your monitor screen. Satoru only lasts about 21 minutes before finally deciding to beckon for your attention.

"(Naaaaaaaaame), c'monnn! We should do something!" He whines, dramatically shuffling around in the sheets like a dilapidated shrimp.

"Like whaaaat?" You ask, mimicking his wording. Your face is still glued to the screen, and Satoru pouts. One click, he waits.

He rises from his laying position, crossing his legs and intently glaring at you. "I could take you out! We could pick up daifuku or that taro boba you always like?"

Within your moment of contemplation, Satoru peers at you with a hopeful little smile on his face. You aren't even looking at him. He tries his best to bat his lashes at you, as if that'd persuade you to say yes. As much as you'd like to go out; your calendar has been backed up with too many tasks.

"M'sorry hun, not today. There's stuff I need to do." You admit, tilting your chair just a little bit to meet eye with your boyfriend. The displeased frown on his face is as clear as day, his lips puckered to sulk.

Before you could turn back to your desk, Satoru hysterically flops onto the floor, crawling his way to you in an indescribable manner. You can hear his groans as he makes his way to you, shuffling on his knees until he reaches your chair. He grabs the armrest of your chair, swiveling you around until you look down onto him. His slender fingers trail onto your calves, Satoru boldly resting his head onto one of your legs.

He's lucky he's that pretty.

A few of Satoru's words are muffled by the flesh of your leg; you can feel his mouth move as incoherent messages are spouted to you. With an amused smile on your face, you run your fingers through his silken hair. You're always amazing how pale and crystalline it is.

"What is it?"

He sighs, peering up at you. "I'm just so boreddddughh-"

Satoru moves to nuzzle your calves at first, indulgently nipping at them as you pet his hair. It's borderline satisfactory, but you're just adding fuel to the fire.

He hums, a sentiment of boldness slowly persuading him to do more. As he makes his way up your leg, he starts getting more eager. The warmth of his breath on your skin gets hotter, and you can sense a sudden change in the air.

"I gotta work, Satoru-" You can't believe how it easy it was for him to tease you like this. Satoru notices the wet patch growing on the cloth of your panties, knowingly peering to meet your eye.

For once, he peers upward, meeting eye with you from where he kneels on the ground. There's a hunger you can see in his gaze, and you wonder how his sense of boredom disappeared so quickly. One minute he's whining about mochi and the next, he's trying to suck on your thigh.

A rather brash bite snaps you out of your thinking, the work on your screen soon being forgotten to your boyfriend. You see the indent of his teeth on your inner thigh, where you frown at him. He meets you with a cheeky smile on his face, like a cat that got the cream.

"Can I, please? Please, honey?" Satoru begs, dragging a singular finger across your leg. It sends a little shiver to your spine, tipping you just over the edge. With your work literally behind you, your concern is pulled onto Satoru.

Satoru looks at you, innocently, as if he's already won his reward.

"Fine." You mutter, peering down at him with half-lidded eyes.

With a satisfactory purr, he slips his fingers under the elastic band of your underwear, eagerly sliding them off in the same way he would unwrap a treat. Carelessly, he flings them to the ground. At least he didn't rip them, this time.

You take it upon yourself to give him easier access, lifting your (his) baggy shirt over your lower tummy. You part your legs as far as the chair will allow, giving Satoru a proper viewing of your cunt. Satoru looks a little too excited when you finally grant him permission, immediately rushing in to take an experimental lick.

"Hold on." You mumble, quickly shoving him away by his forehead. Satoru whines, disappointingly trying to make another dive towards your folds. You push his head back again, scooting yourself up on the chair. A bit of slick slowly drips onto the chair cushion as you maneuver your calves upward, allowing yourself to rest each calf onto their respective armrests. You're all ready, presenting your wet cunt to him.

Now, Satoru can finally dig in.

Slotting his palms onto the backs of your thighs, Satoru starts out with a brief kiss to your clit. His cock twitches when he feels you flinch against his lips, teasing you once again by lewdly swiping his tongue across your most sensitive parts.

Your boyfriend shamelessly moans into your cunt, his boxers growing to feel too tight around his crotch as he slips his tongue deep inside you. You see the imprint of his dick on his thigh. You let out a slight pant of embarrassment as Satoru practically uses your wetness as lip gloss, carelessly smearing across the majority of his mouth.

"Y'taste-" He lets out a tiny gasp. "-really good. Oh-"

You like to think that's a lie whenever you hear it, but the muffled moans you hear from below are telling you otherwise. It's hard to believe you taste like anything other than sweets to Satoru when all he's doing is slurping you up like there's no tomorrow.

You can tell when Satoru starts to pump his cock as soon as he releases his grip from one of your thighs, trailing down his abdomen to fish his hand into his boxers. He licks you up in a rhythmic pattern, moving between your clit and your inner walls with ease.

You sigh in relief as Satoru eventually stops to take a break, watching strings of your juices drip down his lower face. With your cunt sensitive, you squeal in surprise when your boyfriend swipes a hand over your folds, using your wetness as lube to start pumping his cock.

Immediately after, Satoru returns to your clit, swirling the tip of his tongue around it until you start pulsating again. Seconds progress, and his muffled little groans get louder and louder, sending a lingering warmth to your cheeks. Past Satoru's head, you could see the patch of spit and slick growing on the chair cushion. One particular lick from him has you squealing, frantically trying to close your legs as you pulsate around Satoru's tongue.

You can barely register when your boyfriend slips his tongue out of your little cunt, removing his hand from his cock. The finger he abruptly slides into you forces a mewl out of your mouth, your boyfriend slowly beginning to pump more of his fingers in and out of you with ease.

"So loose for me, hm? You like that? Yeah?" Satoru pants, giggling when he hears another moan from you. You can only nod in response.

It seems as though Satoru knows exactly where your g-spot is with the way the tips of his fingers seem to curl and twist when he reaches your deepest parts. Something inside you starts to twist, forming a knot in your lower tummy.

Just when it couldn't get better, Satoru leans down to your cunt once more, making rounds of licks against your slit whilst pumping his fingers deep inside you. The double stimulation is euphoric, sending a new wave of tension to your lower stomach.

Your boyfriend smiles when he starts to hear your moans becoming more frantic, more loud. Your head tilts back a little, your body subconsciously trying to thrust harder onto his fingers as your toes curl in on themselves. You're about to cum; he can tell.

Satoru thankfully speeds up as your climax starts to build, shoving more fingers in and out of our as his cock desperately twitches for your attention. His slurps and licks start to become messier, blurring out your mind of any thought. You can't even imagine how the chair looks anymore.

"Satoru, I think m'gonna cum- m'gonna cum!" You squeal, slightly arching your back and gripping the back of his head tighter as Satoru frantically laps up your cunt.

The one deep, final curl of his fingers into your sweet spot has you pushed just over the edge. All at once, your release sends you squirting out onto the chair, high moans spilling from your lips as you drench Satoru's face with your insides. Your g-spot is almost like a button to press, your boyfriend rubbing and pressing at the gummiest spot of your walls just to make you squirt harder.

Your eyes practically roll to the back of your head as you moan, the high pleasure of your climax sending your pussy pulsing and twitching from the friction.

"No more, no more! Please!" You wail.

"Hm? What's that? You want more, honey?"

Satoru is such a tease, nibbling where your clit is the most sensitive as you ride out your orgasm on his fingers. Your cunt twitches, borderline reaching the brink between pain and pleasure. The look on your face is priceless, the way your jaw hangs open and your eyes stay closed. Satoru can never get enough; that's his most favorite face on you.

After a few moments slumped against the chair, your finally open your eyes, seeing your boyfriend's dazed expression. There's this permanent smile on his face, his eyes lewd with satisfaction like a really smug cat. He looks waaay too pleased with himself, slick smeared over the lower half of his face.

The chair is a mess, the biggest puddle of slick, spit, and sweat left behind where your hips lay rested against the spongy cushion.

"What about you?" You ask. "You didn't cum, did you?"

Satoru shakes his head. "No. Came on my shorts a few times."

"A few?"

He nods.

You slowly position your calves off of each armrest, a shudder rolling through your thighs as your bare pussy presses against the chair. You sit on it like a normal person would, inspecting the aftermath of the action. The chair is ruined anyways.

Satoru wasn't lying when he said 'a few times'; his cock's laid limp against his thigh, dribbles of cum sprayed across his abs and clothed thighs. It's good to know that he (really) enjoyed himself.

"You liked it that much, huh?" You ask, and Satoru presses a kiss to your inner thigh.

"Mhm; loved it."

You can feel the warmth of his cheeks on top of your thighs, the slightest flutter of his long eyelashes as he hums with satisfaction. You slide your fingers through his snowy hair, glowing after your climax. However, your hand comes to a pause when you feel a warm lick across your upper thigh.

"Lemme clean you up, honey. Can't let all this go to waste, hm?"

Why the Dummies' Early Death's Matter (a semi-ramble session, semi-analysis)

So its 3-1B's anniversary today but unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the post I actually wanted to post today (rest assured it's still coming though!!). So instead, I decided to revisit an idea I've had since the early stages of this blog, and talk about the deaths the Dummies can face before the Banquet, considering they are often overlooked.

This won't be as comprehensive as my usual analyses, instead it'll mostly be me just rambling about my thoughts surrounding the deaths and the details that come with, although analysing tends to be par for the course with that.

With that said, lets start with...

HAYASAKA

It was during my process of writing Hayasaka's analysis when I first thought of the idea to make a separate post about these pre-Banquet deaths, but that never came to be, so what better place to start then with him.

So let's talk about Hayasaka's early death. Failing the second obstructor causes Hayasaka to be torn apart and killed by the flying books.

Immediately the first thing that stands out is Gin's reaction to his death.

It's obvious Gin is relating Hayasaka's death here to Mishima's back in Chapter 1, and his thoughts of being helpless in general. And it makes his speech before the banquet hit all the harder.

Worst of all Sara isn't even able to support him like he did back in 2-2, unable to hug him because of the tag game Midori started. At least until it gets taken away from her and she's able to finally calm him down. Its a deeply tragic scene for Gin, one that many people would pretty much never see, but it goes to show the value of these early deaths and what good, in terms of writing, they can bring.

But its Hayasaka's death, so what about him? Well it's a bad ending for Hayasaka in every sense, not only was Gin not able to protect him, nor was he able to grow as a person and protect Gin, but he dies soon after we find out about his connection with Asunaro, in other words after we "prove" he was the villain we thought he was based on his victim video, without him ever even being given the chance to explain himself or prove himself better. When Hayasaka dies here, he doesn't really die as an ally, but more as someone on Asunaro's side. He doesn't even get to help us out in any meaningful way through him figuring out the gimmick security system, of by him showing us the backstories for Miley and Safalin, flipping the tables on giving our information to Asunaro to instead give us information ABOUT Asunaro.

In general it's the worst possible way everything could have gone for him

Next lets talk about someone who's death I touched on in their analysis.

MAI (and also Hinako?)

Obviously I don't have much more to say about Mai's death considering I talked about it in her analysis, at that point I figured I wasn't going to do this post anytime soon, unfortunately though at that point the only analyses left to do were Hinako and Midori, both of which can't die before the banquet lol.

Although speaking of Hinako, in the files she DOES have a switch like all the other dolls designating whether she died earlier in the chapter or not, I doubt it was ever planned to be used or anything, likely just done for the sake of it, but whatever the case it is pretty interesting.

It was even accidentally used as a requirement for the steam achievement "The Invincible Dummies" which made it impossible to obtain for a bit! But that was patched out quickly.

Back to Mai though, her dying to Maple 2.0 is truly tragic, because throughout the chapter Mai was by far the one who connected with Maple the most, whether it be during her first fight where she's the one who reads her letter, or during the Keiji POV section where Mai feels the most bad for her. She even sits by her corpse in the prebanquet. So, it's truly tragic Mai is stabbed by Maple because she was unable to resist Midori's commands, just like how she once couldn't when stabbed Q-taro herself, which at this point she knows was lethal but isn't able to say anything about due to Q-taro's plan with a doll. All she can leave with is an apology...

This scene in particular hits really different when you play it on a second playthrough and know what happened between Q-taro and Mai.

Next up,

RANMARU

Ranmaru is a special case, because his death scene feels very different depending on which route you are on.

Starting with the emotion route, his death occurs right before he tells Sara about what he tried to do with the Joe AI, but notably after Midori tells everyone that Ranmaru betrayed them. As Ranmaru dies he panics and scramble out an explanation, telling sara he'd never betray- before being cut off.

Here Ranmaru's feelings of worthlessness and not being enough for Sara which caused him to "betray" her in the first place end up making him look like a villain. He isn't even able to explain what he was trying to do with the Joe AI, and he dies off without any of the closure he gets from after this moment. Here Ranmaru's thoughts of worthlessness lead to his final moments just being another case of him failing to be enough for Sara.

Imagine being Ranmaru here. The last thing you are to this girl you were willing to give up your consciousness over, is a traitor, and you aren't even able to explain yourself before you die, feeling just as useless as always, maybe even more now that it seems like you only made everything worse for her.

Ranmaru dies here with basically no closure, just a sudden boom to finish him off and its honesty terrifying to think about.

and its not much better in logic route. After killing Yabusame in a not too dissimilar sudden death, his mask is off and Ranmaru's ego is through the roof. Now feeling the opposite of worthless to Sara, he sees himself as her only salvation. He makes an enemy out of everyone and overconfidently tries to make a deal with Midori using the ID card. However, if he failed earlier Midori will have different plans for him.

Immediately Ranmaru is pulled right down into reality. Midori tells him,

Reminding Ranmaru that he isn't as far above the others as he thinks he is, he is also a part of the dummies. His death playing out in a similar fashion, except with his last words being about how he has to win.

Both these deaths share the fact of Ranmaru never getting the closure he desired and never getting to be what he wanted to be for Sara. A tragedy, through and though.

Anzu Don't kill Anzu she doesn't deserve it.

Okay but actually Anzu's death is also really sad, the way her final words are always about her not wanting to die, because she's always so scared of her death is honestly heartbreaking. It's an incredibly real way for a person to face their death.

Also during the Banquet Midori has some unique dialogue with interesting implications if Anzu is dead.

This is specific to if Anzu is dead, which is interesting because it implies she could have been brought back from being destroyed by the obstructor. Something similar is said when Kurumada dies, but in that case it was more of a "hope" rather than something being told to us, as well as Kurumada being shown to be functioning after being damaged unlike Anzu who was fully dead.

Midori saying this implies there would be a way to "revive" a doll even after being destroyed or damaged, even if they cease to actually live. Something separate from just bringing them back with the AI-ciever, which would essentially reset the dummies back to whatever their original AIs knew, with no knowledge of 3-1

It reminds me a bit of Rio Ranger who similarly was also kept alive after being destroyed by being shot through the head, but then later came back during the Maple 2.0 fight, acting how he used to act, instead of how "Laizer" would act.

It's a distinct difference, one that makes it so that you can't really say the dummies are exactly replaceable, but maybe that's a conversation for another day. Back to my original point though, just like Rio, I wonder if the other dummies have "chips" or something inside them that could be salvaged from the corpse, that would get fully destroyed by a drill. It's the only way I see that dialogue making sense. That or Midori is lying lmao, wouldn't be the first time.

Got kinda ramble-y there but I did say I would just be giving my thoughts on the deaths and details, and that's what Anzu's death makes me think about.

Anyways, moving on with the discussion, lets talk about a small detail that's so miniscule I wonder why it was even included.

During the Banquet, when Anzu dies, the remaining dolls all react, which makes sense, but for Kurumada and only Kurumada he has a different line depending on if Anzu is alive or dead.

Did you notice? Its literally just 3 extra dots if Anzu was alive. Its really weird, no other doll has a different reaction like this, even Mai or Hayasaka if they are alive instead, its specifically a Kurumada thing.

I suppose it's to show he hesitated more if Anzu was alive, since he would have actually gotten to know her, and it makes sense considering they are probably the closest 2 dummies, but its weird it was shown in this small barely noticeable way. Even if you played both routes, I highly doubt someone would notice the difference naturally, the only reason I saw it was because I was looking directly at the code. Still I suppose its just one more way to show Anzu and Kurumada's bond.

Speaking of Kurumada though,

KURUMADA

Kurumada's death is very interesting, because at least in the emotion route, when all the other dummies survive, it's probably regarded as one of the best early deaths. So long as everyone else is alive, Kurumada tell Sara that he feels like listening to a song, Sara goes to Alice/Reko and they start singing, with Anzu, Hayasaka, and Kanna all joining in.

However, if the first fight with Maple was failed, Kurumada will die here, with a peaceful look on his face while listening to everyone sing.

Its probably the most heartwarming death of any of the dummies, but I think there's more to talk about it than just that.

Something that always stood out to me is what Sara thinks after realising he died.

in comparison to when he lives where he'll say,

Keep in mind, it was Kurumada himself who says,

it's a phrase that kinda has become synonymous with Kurumada at this point, and the fact that it only happens in Emotion route, just like the singing scene where causes those 2 lines of dialogue always was interesting to me. Perhaps it's not as perfect as it seems? Maybe Sara didn't fully internalise Kurumada's lesson? IDK what its implying or even if it is implying anything, but it does stand out.

Regardless the scene is highly regarded for a reason, but Kurumada has a different, much more common death.

If on the Sou route, or if any of the dummies died in the Kanna route, Kurumada will instead die right before he enters his coffin. I love how here he waits until all the other dolls are in their coffins before he dies off, its like he doesn't want them to see him die when it's not a peaceful moment, so he holds unto life until everyone is inside their coffins, and only then does his body give in, consciously or not.

well now we've talked about all the dummies, lets talk about The Deaths in General

Just as a concept I think the early deaths are such a cool idea and they are written really well. With each death we can expand a little on characters, whether we see it as the "bad endings" for everyone, or whether we get small titbits we wouldn't have before, it shows just how much effort was put into each of these dolls.

They also lend themselves so perfectly into the gameplay, which is something YTTD in general is amazing at, by using the fact its a game to its advantage YTTD does so much more than it could have otherwise, making you press the button as you watch Joe,

or by using its illusion of choice mixed with real choice to always keep you guessing in moments like the Final Attraction and the Banquet.

These "tricks" all are used to make you more invested, more guilty.

And these early deaths are just another example of that, once you find out you can really lose a doll in these minigames instead of just getting game overs, you start to care so much more about actually getting the puzzle right, because you want to save as many people as you can.

At the same time the dummies act as rewards for doing well in Minigames. Instead of just playing the games because if you don't you'll have to go to your last save, now the games have purpose, and by completing them you can get to learn more about these characters you wouldn't have otherwise.

I feel like it can be a common take that the early deaths take away from the dummies as characters, that because Anzu or Hayasaka can die so early, that their characters never get a chance to develop, and since they can be dead or alive they are written in a way that doesn't matter.

I've made it no secret what I think about Anzu or Hayasaka "not having arcs", but these early deaths don't only "not take away" from their arcs, but they actively add to them. My favourite example being the dummies convincing Kurumada to take his charger.

Here we have 1 scene expand on 3 whole character's arcs, despite them taking the place of each other, their words carry different meaning for each. Anzu shows her bond with her allies, Hayasaka shows off a less selfish side of him, and Hinako shows her affection and care for her allies albeit in her own special way.

The game was able to have 3 characters develop, with what basically amounts to the same shared lines, this is how YTTD uses these deaths to develop its characters. No matter what you'll get a version of this scene, but depending on who's alive, it evolves to fit your gameplay experience, and its done so masterfully, and it's how YTTD uses even these optional deaths to its fullest potential. The dummies matter, each and every one of them, dead or alive.

================================================================================================

Conclusion

Wow that went on long lmao. This was supposed to be quick to drop something for 3-1B's anniversary because its peak and it deserves it but it turned into a sort of part rant part analysis about why I love this aspect of the game so much. Its like last minute to the point of being overdue lmao so idk how well this will turn out but I hope you enjoyed it

YTTD is my favourite game and 3-1 may just be my favourite bit of fiction ever, so I just wanted to talk about it for its anniversary. I suppose what better way than to talk about something that's unique to it and done so well, I may have gotten a bit sidetracked though there is a LOT to talk about with this stuff, this chapter just has so much to it And yes, my next real analysis will be coming, I won't say soon because who knows how long it'll take but I am working on it. Although this was fun so maybe I'll do more "rants" or something of the sort in the future if people end up liking this Anyways again thanks again for reading this far, I hope you enjoyed my ramblings and happy (now belated) anniversary 3-1B!!!!

Day 9-i think? Muja Kina Min-Ji Kim!! Also, rq, her red patch says nursing assistant, if the kanji is wrong lmk!!

Min-Ji Kim is an anxious, panicked student from South Korea who has dreams of becoming a doctor at one of the best hospitals, Sakae (saikou) Medical Center. After graduating high school early at 17, she sent out multiple submissions to schools asking if she could tutor under the nurses there. During this, she accidentally sent a request to an underfunded school all the way in Japan, Sakura High (akademi). Sakura was the only school who responded with a yes, so after begging her parents to move, she enrolled at Sakura High.

Despite only having only having one class, aka the nurses office, she's extremely overworked as she treats minor wounds for the nurse (like scraped knees and bruises) while also studying for everything and anything. Due to this, she often forgets to take care of herself, forgetting to feed herself or bathe. Since Taro is clumsy and ends up in the nurses office a lot, he noticed Min-Jis lack of self care quickly, so he often brings her food and such during his visits to the nurse.

Doctor, to Taro: Alright dad, ready to see your babies?

Taro: Oh, I'm just the husband. *points Tregear* he's the father.

Doctor: Oh, I didn't know this was a surrogate situation I'll just update your ch-

Tregear, offended: R/n is not a surrogate!

Doctor, looking between the three confused: Um..

R/n: I'm their wife...

Doctor: Oh.

[Meanwhile in the waiting room. Taiga and Akari are stuck listening to a little girl tell her version of the stork delivering babies while rock-a- bye baby plays over the intercom.]

Little Girl in Waiting Room: ...and then Mommy kissed Daddy, and the angel told the stork-

(Taiga rolls his eyes and looks at his cousin Akari who shakes her head.)

Little Girl: ...And the stork flew down from heaven and left a diamond under a leaf in the cabbage patch, and the diamond turned into a baby!

Taiga: My parents are having babies, too.

(The music distorts a little)

Akari, stone faced: They had sex.

[Cue the little girl asking her parents what sex is? while the parents glare at Taro, Tregear and R/n who walk out of the exam room and collect the teens, when asked what that was about? Taiga and Akari told them what happened, Tregear laughed while Taro and R/n let out a small snicker before turning serious lecturing the teens .]

[A video of one Adrian "Alucard" Tepes lounging in a particularly large and worn looking arm chair.

The chair is big enough for a grown man to curl up in and still have room for a few pets or children.

The chair is clearly a much loved thing with fabric that is mostly patches and repairs, its wooden legs are scratched up, nicked and gnawed by generations of tiny teeth with the carved wooden paws kneading the floor like a contented beast.

Adrian is surrounded, almost smothered by several sleeping children and at least one very bold hunting dog (named Trevor) that thinks he's still a puppy.

Egg is tucked up under Adrian's chin, Hunbun is sprawled across his lap, Lily is sprawled across Hubun, Zuri and Polly are curled up under one of Adrian's arms, and little Taro is asleep on top of the dog, squeak-snoring.

Adrian cracks open one golden eye and mouths 'Help me!' at the camera before cracking a smile.

The video ends.]

Let's cuddle with Papa!

SAKAMOTO DAYS: An Alternative Transitional Period is going on hiatus, sadly.

Here's a sick new poster by @bokunocolor as compensation.

(Technically it has already been made for a while ago, but it's new for most of y'all, so whatever)

In case you're reading this with no idea what SD:aATP is - it's my fic, with the initially simple premise of "Sakamoto Days, but Taro IS Aoi in the Trans sense" alongside quite a few things resulting from that slight timeline change. Link here:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59823703/chapters/152600509

IRL events have not quite been kind, so I unfortunately gotta focus on those. It's why the day and a half of waiting I promised never quite worked out. Once all THAT gubbins is patched up and I am no longer in risk of getting forced into a car by my father, I am probably gonna be able to finish the upcoming chapter. Might even be able to properly go back and check for typos for once. Thank god for One Piece helping me stay sane...

But yeah, until then, y'all got 101,868 words of SD:aATP content to enjoy up on Ao3, covering up to the start of the 2nd part of the JCC exam. Hopefully you do indeed enjoy it all!

Whelp, time for me to manage, now that I have caught up with the manga... But yeah, hopefully y'all are doing good! Have a good day as well!

Taglist: @xomakara, @shadowkoo

Fic is under the cut.

The next morning, you woke up feeling better than you had in months. Your project was done, your relationship with Shotaro was finally where you wanted it to be, and you hadn’t even heard from your parents in weeks. Your life felt perfect. Well, almost perfect. After all, you still hadn’t spoken to Karina for far too long.

You missed your best friend, so you decided that it was time to reach out, grabbing your phone from your nightstand so that you could text her. At least, you attempted to grab your phone from your nightstand. You didn’t get to move very far, though, before Shotaro pulled you closer to him and said, “Five more minutes, baby. Please?”

“I just wanted to grab my phone, baby.”

“But why,” he whined.

“I was gonna text Karina.”

“That can wait though, can’t it?”

“Baby please? It’s important to me.”

“Sorry, baby,” Shotaro said, letting go of you and sitting up. “Did something bad happen?”

“No. I just wanted to try to patch things up with her. I also wanna tell her about us,” you mumbled.

“I think that sounds like a good idea. Now that you mention it, I should probably talk to Wonbin too.”

“Good luck, baby.”

There was a brief silence while the two of you found your phones, texted your friends, and anxiously awaited their responses. After a few minutes, though, Shotaro must have noticed how nervous you were, since he took your hand and said, “It’s gonna be ok. Ok?”

“Ok. Thanks, ‘Taro.”

“What happened to calling me ‘baby?’” he asked, feigning offense at your use of a different nickname.

“You said that you like it when I call you ‘’Taro!’” you responded, confused at the false frustration.

“Oh, I do. I just like teasing you,” he said with a laugh.

You rolled your eyes and said, “I love you.”

“I love you too, baby.”

Shotaro pulled you closer and kissed you softly, and you relaxed almost immediately. Sure, you were still nervous about texting Karina, but having the man you loved by your side made your worries feel just a little bit more manageable.

You stopped thinking about your anxiety when Shotaro deepened the kiss, and a soft moan slipped out of your mouth as he tangled his hands in your hair. Then, just as your mind started to wander to the other things you wanted to do in that moment, he pulled away with a shit-eating grin on his face and said, “You’re so cute.”

Before you could respond, your phone buzzed, and you let go of Shotaro to see what was going on. To your pleasant surprise, you opened your phone to a text from Karina.

Karina: Hey. I’m really sorry I’ve been such a shitty friend lately. Are you busy tonight?

Y/N: No, not that I know of. Why?

Karina: I was thinking maybe we could go do something. Would you wanna hang out and just catch up?

Y/N: That sounds great. What do you wanna do?

Karina: Do you wanna come to my apartment? We could have a game night like we used to.

Y/N: I’d love that.

After you and Karina coordinated a time, you showed Shotaro your phone and said, “I think we’re ok.”

“I think so too. I’m really happy to hear that you guys are fixing things.”

“I’m happy too.”

After a beat of silence, Shotaro asked, “Shit, what time is it?”

You checked your phone and groaned as you realized that you still had to go to class. “Time to start getting ready.”

You and Shotaro both got out of bed, getting ready together to go about the rest of your day. Once you were both ready to go, he drove you to your university and said, “Have a great day, baby. I love you,” before he kissed your cheek and went to his first class for the day.

Just as Shotaro walked away, you heard a familiar voice say, “What the fuck did I miss?”

“Hey, Karina! We have a lot to catch up on,” you answered with a soft laugh.

“Apparently I do. Since when are you and Shotaro a thing?” your best friend asked.

“Since last night. He was at my apartment to work on a project, and some feelings were made known.”

“I knew it!” she yelled, clearly excited by the development.

“What do you mean you knew it?”

“I knew you guys were gonna end up together.”

“Oh, shut up,” you said, feigning annoyance. “Anyway, I have to go to class. Are we still on for tonight?”

“Yep! See you then!”

“See you then.”

You and Karina went your separate ways after that, and you went to class. The day was boring for the most part, and your mind was elsewhere, but you still did well enough paying attention in class. At least, you did until you got to your statistics lecture. The only open seat was next to Shotaro, and you couldn’t help but get distracted whenever you heard him answer a question or caught him staring at you. Still, for the most part, the class went by without any problems.

After your classes for the day were done, you went right to Karina’s apartment to have a game night like the two of you planned. You drove down the familiar route until you were at your best friend’s door, and before you could even knock on the door, Karina opened it, grabbing your arm and pulling you into her apartment.

“I’m so excited that you’re here!” she practically screamed once you were inside.

“I’m excited too!” you said with a laugh. “What kind of games are we playing tonight?”

“You pick!” she answered, leading you to her coffee table, where she’d placed a selection of board games and card games that the two of you had played together countless times before. You picked one, and the two of you started to play.

While the two of you played various games together, you talked about what you’d both been up to while you weren’t talking as much. In a matter of minutes, the conversation shifted to relationships.

“So, I have to ask,” you began. “How are things going with Wonbin?”

“Oh, we made it official about a month ago.”

“Really?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you,” Karina said, looking nervous as she spoke.

“Hey, no worries. I’m happy for you. Seriously.”

“Thanks,” she said as she pulled you into a hug.

After a brief silence, you asked, “Do you think that he’d be up for a double date?”

“Yeah. That sounds great. Would Shotaro be ok with that, though?”

“I’ll talk to him about it when I go home.”

“Ok. I really hope it works out.”

“Me too.”

After that, you and Karina spent the rest of the night playing your favorite games together, talking about anything and everything while you played until it was time for you to go home. Part of you didn’t want to leave, but you were really tired, and your bed was much more comfortable than Karina’s couch. So, you helped her clean up and went home, excited to pitch the idea of a double date to Shotaro.

The next morning, when you asked Shotaro about the double date with Karina and Wonbin, he was more excited than you were, if that was even possible. He thought it was a great idea, and he couldn’t wait to set it up.

You texted Karina that Shotaro was interested in a double date, and she told you that Wonbin was too. After a bit more back and forth, as well as coordinating with your boyfriends, you chose a day and time for what would become the first of many double dates.

When the agreed upon day finally arrived, you and Shotaro met Karina and Wonbin at a nearby café. When your best friend saw you, she pulled you into a bone crushing hug and said, “I’ve heard great things about the coffee here. I’m excited to try it.”

As you looked around, you realized that you were in the same café that you’d dumped Sungchan in, which was also the same café where you’d met with Shotaro to discuss the project that brought the two of you back together. With a soft smile on your face, you said, “I’ve been here a few times. It’s amazing.”

While you and Karina chatted about the drinks that you were planning to order, Shotaro hugged Wonbin and said, “I’ve missed you, man.”

“I’ve missed you too. I’m sorry I got so distant. I never meant to be such a dick.”

“Hey, it’s ok. Just don’t do it again.”

“You got it.”

With that, you and Karina decided what drinks you wanted, and the four of you waited for your turn to order. Once your drinks (and copious amounts of pastries) were ordered, you found a table and sat down.

For the most part, the date was pretty uneventful, with the four of you talking about whatever came to mind while you enjoyed your drinks and snacks. While Shotaro and Wonbin talked about their favorite band’s new song, you talked to Karina about your classes and relationships. As you took in the conversations, all you could think about was how grateful you were for the good coffee and good company.

When all four of you were done with your drinks, you pulled Karina into another hug before leaving with Shotaro. On the car ride back to your apartment, the two of you discussed your statistics project, going over finishing touches that you wanted to add before turning it in the following day.

When the two of you got back to your apartment, you went inside and added what was discussed in the car. Then, you and Shotaro sat on your couch and watched a movie, relaxing together after a chaotic day.

The next day, when you got to your statistics class, you turned your assignment in before taking your seat near Shotaro. As the lecture began, you couldn’t help but worry that you wouldn’t get a good grade. When you turned to your boyfriend, however, and he saw the anxiety etched into your face, he gave you a soft smile, and you felt better.

For a week after you turned in your project, you were a nervous wreck. Sure, when you turned it in, you’d been pretty confident that you’d do well, but once it was actually in Ms. Kim’s hands, you couldn’t help but start to worry that it wasn’t good enough. Every time you started to feel nervous, though, Shotaro was right by your side, reassuring you and cheering you up.

The day that you actually got your grade for the assignment, though, you realized that all of your anxiety had been for nothing, considering that you and Shotaro both got perfect scores. Apparently, the two of you made a pretty good team.

Describe It to Me | Gyomei Himejima

Word Count: 1761

Setting: Gyomei x gn!reader (reader is a kakushi)

Content Warning(s): mentions of gore/violence, angst

Summary: a tap at your window, an emergency request delivered by a kasugai crow leads you to to devastation and a man you had not seen since the Final Selection.

A/N: full disclosure, I lost where I was going with this, and just cut it short. 🫣

Cries echoed into your ear drums, the stanch scent of iron that threatened the earth beneath your feet. Tarnished soil, dragged and muddled across gore and destruction. Limbs that tangled beneath their own weight, splintered, and shattered in the depths of the dark. The night robbed of light, the moon shied away from the horrors that you bore witnessed too. As though the sight were far too much for the gentle spirit to bear, the devastation littered throughout the landscape.

Trees torn from their roots, evidence of their once productive life, snubbed out with a single thrust.  Trunks threatened to smash to bits, the mass majority of branches fractured. Only the occasional splintered branch worth consideration of mulch in the years to come. Left ruined amongst the forest floors. Foliage robbed of any chance of survival, crunched beneath zori. The embroidered mark of the slayers before you as you pressed forward, bundled together in a close knit as kakushi often traveled. Averted eyes that struggled to process the bloody scene. The ache of your heart upon your sleeves, the stench of death that left you unsettled and uneasy. An unusual nightly excursion to a devastated area, the call having been one of desperation begging for aid, a large quantity at that. A Kasugai crow that rattled against your bed window. Rose you from your slumber, leaving you with little time to process the severity of the situation. His delicately obsidian feathers were immaculately maintained soothed only by the night wind. A shadow amongst the cover of the trees, the distinct caws assisting with guiding you amongst the terrain. Small scowls you had been quick to decipher as attempts to assist your travel in the depths of the night. Shooed away any doubts, and anxieties that may have begun to fester in the pit of your stomach, and urged the others of your group to remain steadfast to the cause. Though they were less than tactful at tucking their emotions away, despite the clothes that clung to their features. A final cowl from the Kasugai. You had arrived.

              Iron that threatened to spirit away your senses, overwhelming taint that threatened the vile in your stomach. Eyes that followed the trace of gore, and the eyes that met your own. Trembled from the faint glow of the lanterns you bore. Momentarily stunned, and confused, regardless of the time that passed you always found your feet. Bared your weight when your body threatened to give out, carried you regardless of how your heart hesitated. Fingers that weaved and picked through torn uniforms, the furrow of your brows as you patched small scratches, grazed over the smallest of blemishes.  Several of the slayers falling in the mizunoto, new recruits that appeared dazed and confused. Dazed to the point that they neither flinched, nor registered the way your hands skated across their craniums. Evaluated their response, their reflexes. All well intact, the flutter of their chests, and raps of their breath as  though the air threatened to abandon them. Their heartbeats rattling into your fingers, throbbed in veins and dashing beat, painfully aware of the clammy state of their skin devoid of color. “What happened,” your pressed, their eyebrows at the met of their tone betraying their frustrations.  Snubbed of the greet of the teeth, it’s surprising how little the uniform shielded slayers from the wrath of the bearer. Taro’s bad temper once again straying him to rash decision making. A fairly recent transfer, he had indicated the desire to try his hand at caring for the wounded, and assisting their travels to the Butterfly Estate though his bedside manner betrayed any such sentiments. Whispers that the boy had merely wanted to avoid shuffling swordsman to the smithing village not without reason. The youth was tall, and barrel chested, so much so that his uniform left little to the imagination, nor did he take into consideration the way his size towers over the newer recruits, “OI! Answer me.”

              “Shock,” you sighed, allowing yourself to draw to your feet. The patches of bandages secured to your patient’s face. The skim of the other kakushi readily at work before cutting your eyes at the kakushi at your side. His annoyance beginning to fester to the point that his fingers had caught at the brows of the patient, threatening to draw them to their feet should they not answer. “A patient that exhibits symptoms of shock should be treated with care—he’s not going to answer you,” the drip of warning poised in your voice. As sharp and lethal as the dagger secured at your hip. All too aware that the cloth shading your features to the night would not protect the inexperienced kakushi from your wrath.

              The pitter of voices, fallen into trembled tones. Shook with e ach word that parted from dry lips, guided by the beckoning way of a subordinate. The frantic touch, drawn to rush to their side. Eyes that met the scratch of blood that had met at the top of the skull, being tended to with delicate fingers as the words threatened to overflower. Rattled mumblings of demons, and surprised attacks. The shatter of bark, and the sickening moan that it had released. A giant that could bear the weight of trees, yielded them as mere weapons no more than a means to combat a beast of the night. The tremble of the victim’s eyes and dilated pupils, telling symptoms of hallucinations. Concussions. The passing thought to review their status before the feathers ruffled near your ear. Perched a small creature that threatened to consume the entirety of your shoulder, its little beak peppered through your hair. It’s frail voice near begging, near mournful of its pursuits. The little crow who had dared the darkness of night to seek assistance. “Is this Kasugai perhaps yours,” you whispered to the ramblings of a madman. Ignored, and threatened to send the individual into a state of panic. The threading of their fingers through their hair,  scratched into the aches of their scalp murmurs that were incomprehensible. The kakushi at their side, rattled by the sudden lurch of their body. Fumbled and anxious cries that bellowed, drew a finger to your side. Caught your eye at something that emerged from the ground. As though it had splintered the earth. A stone—no, the oddity of the shape a blade of some sort. The nudge of the crow in your ear, feathered through the strands of your hair at the insistence. Hefty, an abandoned blade amongst a battle field, far too aware the severity of such a loss should incur. Lifting upon it, caught amongst muck, an unholy mixture of dirt and blood that threatened to confine the remainder of the weapon. Chains that emerged like the dead from its pull. The sickening staunch of a scent you rarely had interactions with. Brain matter that clung to speared ends. Metal that formed tips, and edge upon the end of the chain. A ball marred by the spikes that bore casualties, the opposite of the hefty discovery clenched between your fingers. An axe and flail, and the weight your heart threatened to stop. The bit of your body stumbled to bear its weight. Giant. Fear taking over the better part of your senses, the distant reflection of a man. A mountain of a main carved from stone by the gods, the callous of his hands curiously embracing the touch of wisteria petals unheeded by the blood at his fingertips. Delighting in the presence of such beautiful fragrance though he would never know the sight that marveled before you. His mere presence the only reason you had survived the Final Selection, and the whisper of his voice, deep and soft, “Describe them to me.”

The only payment he had requested in return for your life.

The rush of feathers fluttered against wings as the shrieks of a scaw rang through your ears. Threatened your senses and drew you to muster what little strength you could manage. Strained muscles shook your core. Numb to the weight, leaving little choice but to draw the tug of the chain. The spike far too much for you to heave as it dragged through the blood-soaked dirt. No time to acknowledge the tears that edged their way to your eyelashes.

“T-Take me to him,” you demanded.

Ume and Calico for the crackship meme?

Despite a much higher chance to have Shiny or even partial Shiny like Calico, Taro ended up fairly normal, for a Zorua/Mew hybrid. His markings did end up splotchy similar to Calico's piebald patches! He's similar to Ume, a bit of a trickster and likes to play pranks and whatnot. Though he has a lot of the natural Mew behavior of just being highly curious! He also can float like Calico, but he likes to walk instead. Or, well, with such massive back paws, hop.

You're free to take Taro if you so please!

Two days later

Alicia stared at her patch with only her nickname on it, but she sighed and put on the shirt with it. In silence she geared up before going outside, looking at the place where the WTF was just yesterday as they departed to the Cook Islands. And in front of the plane her team awaited, all of them with their black uniform and with the huge bags inside the plane. 

"Alright Specters, your turn starts now." Wraith said through their line. "Aly will be monitoring the cargo and probably the attack as well while it happens at the same time as your intervention on La Haya. Remember that as you arrive, an ambassador's life is on fire line as well. We don't need any diplomatic trouble." 

"Anything about our allies?" Alicia asked as the plane took flight.

Wraith chuckled before answering. "The team will work with you on the hunt. Part of the Swiss 10th reconnaissance detachment."

Luke was surprised as he intervened. "Are they back in the game?" 

"They volunteered, the soldiers convinced the Captain and he wasn't exactly against it." 

"...And about the Colombian government?" Alicia questioned with a side smile.

"They sent a team from the Alpha detachment of the DIVFE. Team Thunder, I think." 

Then the Captain just laughed and didn't say anything else. But only Edward understood the reason for the laugh.

"So finally, I'll see how real the stories are, huh?" The pilot jokes.

Alicia stood up and looked directly at her friend. "Yes, I'll show you how good we are at what we do." 

"Can't wait for it." 

Everyone else was confused but they were told that they would know as soon as they arrived at the base outside of the city. And so the hours passed until they were on the base before seeing an unknown figure awaited for them. As some CV190 were getting prepared to send them into the city. They walked down just to watch how a plane from the FAC arrived as well with another special forces team inside.

"Good to see you, Elías." Alicia said as she walked over to hug the taller one.

"Me too, lil' one. Thanks for the last time, I owe that one." He said, hugging her back with a smile and then looking at the team. "Well, would you look at that! The latest heroes are here!"

"Captain Müller." Luke murmured as a greeting with a nod. "Good to see you back in shape." 

"And it's good to be back. Sorry for the troubles my cousin caused you. She always has been problematic." 

A man walked towards them, rolling his eyes. "You're just as problematic as she is, Elías. That's why grandpa thinks of you two as his copies." 

"...Hi, Juan David." Alicia muttered while bumping fists with the younger one. "Good to see you, kid."

The team were confused but Jackson noticed how the three of them looked alike and just sighed. In silence he wondered how the world was so little and it wasn't like he was surprised either.

"Is he your family as well?" Jackson asked

Alicia nodded as Elías hugged Juan David by the shoulder "Yep, our little cousin! He’s Sergeant Juan David Martínez." 

"...What the hell, Captain?" 

"Long story, but we have work on our hands." 

Elías sighed, letting go of his cousins and turned serious. "You're in charge, Licia. You're the one with more intel." 

Alicia nodded and soon Juan David went to call his own Captain to prepare everything. The Captain of the Colombian team arrived and Alicia, now as Origin, started to explain. All of them had four places confirmed with bomb threats. One near the main place of the reunion, the other one in the more popular cafeterias that is near the river, one on a building downtown and one in the office buildings of the ICJ. 

"Alright, team Thunder. Your priority is to take the ambassador to a safe place near the government building." She instructed as Noah took his equipment down the plane along with Elliot. "The 10th and us will divide the infantry operators. And the reconnaissance experts will escort all the explosives along with the demolition experts. All hand-to-hand combat specialists will be the first line here, we'll look for the four bombs around the city and for the terrorist." 

Elías raised an eyebrow with curiosity. "Terrorist?" 

"We know her as Silver Deer. The data that we have states her as an old soldier from the Spanish army. Be aware that she might have the same formation as you do, so you must be careful and try not to engage in direct combat if it's possible."

They continued explaining until everything was ready and all teams had their duties on the field. Soon hopping inside the vehicles to go into the city. For a few seconds they remained silent until Luke took a box inside the vehicle. Extending it towards every soldier inside. Elías' team looked at the Specters with confusion but the Captain knew exactly why they did that. As he saw how his cousin left her new dog tags inside the box along with all her team.

"Is that bad?" He asked sadly.

Alicia nodded. "We have many enemies. Even inside our own country. So we need to disappear and become just like our name...specters without a name or a face."

He smiled at her, watching her reach for the radio. "Well, I guess I can't say anything to you since we chose the same path long ago." 

"...Charlie Six to Wraith. What's Alpha Six’s status?" Alicia asked with a stone face 

"They're doing good. Currently in the vehicle and approaching the objective. I have to respect Aly's choice. They're really compromised with the mission." Wraith answered with a bit of humor. "Alpha Six had a radical change of attitude, it was surprising." 

"He's like that, I could see why he's a Captain?" 

"Absolutely." 

"How’s Shark?" 

"Just as serious as Alpha Six. No wonder they're related."

"Seems to run in the family."

"Yup." 

Alicia smiled before speaking. "Please tell Aly that I wish them luck and that the food is on me once we're back...no limits." 

"Ohhh, that's a good reward." 

"Stop mocking me, Wraith." She said while hearing Elías laugh beside her.

"You'll bring Delta Six with you?" 

"I have no other option." 

Soon they were already in the city and the vehicles went to some secondary streets. Leaving them behind in one of the buildings. With the signal, all the teams started to move to their respective places and as usual Alicia went with Luke on the first line to the ICJ building. The guards weren't aware of them in case it was an inside job. Instead they went through a secured route given by Wraith around the maintenance tunnels. 

As they moved they heard how every first line pair was confirming the bomb's location, and soon Team Thunder confirmed they escorted the ambassador safely. For some minutes the path was clear until they arrived at one of the power rooms. There was a charge over the main power cylinder. In a second, Luke went to activate the fire alarm. Any excuse to evacuate that place while Alicia stayed at the door as she spoke through the channel.

"Charlie Six to everyone. We have the bomb spotted, third power room in the second basement." She said as the alarm echoed through all the place. "Possible C4 charge, military grade as expected. The evacuation just started, Charlie 0-7 and I will keep an eye on this until someone arrives." 

The line cracked for a second and Elías answered. "Delta Six here, codename Tank, copy that. Wires is on his way." 

And as said, soon the explosives and demolition expert from the 10th arrived to figure out the attack. It was just a matter of seconds before it was disarmed, so the three of them went back up to the street level as Wires gave his report. Outside everything went alright for a second. But the anticipation of silence made them get tense. Their heartbeats beating, the siren of a police car and the whispering of the people between the heavy environment.

Then a loud explosion made the earth shake as the screams filled the air and the clear sky filled with ashes and dust. Revealing the horrible truth. Alicia shouted an order as they started to run to the attacked building with the people opening a path for them while the police, fire department and paramedics started to move to contain the problem. She went to speak with Elías, who was already talking with one of the firefighters, and started to discuss what to do.

Elías frowned with worry "A fifth bomb? What the hell?! I thought we had confirmation that it was only FOUR!" 

"We did! But it seems like Silver Deer planted another one as a safe or someone told her about our operation!" Alicia hissed with absolute rage. "Either way, someone's dying today!"

She then turned to look at everyone else. Now seeing with Elías he was furious as well. When he saw how the ambulances were filling the streets. 

"Alright, we might have more bombs around and we don't have Silver Deer yet. So our plans have changed!" She said with a shine of steel on her eyes. "Find the bombs and disarm them! But if you found that bitch that we were looking for!” She then looked at her team with dead eyes. “Capture her immediately, understand?"

"YES CAPTAIN!" everyone shouted as an answer

"THEN GO NOW! TIME IS RUNNING DAMNIT!" Elías roared towards them.

All the soldiers went on their own way and this time Alicia went with Elías to look for Silver Deer. They started to look at a building where Wraith indicated them. It was filled with people panicking and running to the street as they walked up through the stairs. Once on the bridge of connection with another part of the building. They basically ran down to the basements again and they were forced to put the rifles back on the compartments. 

"There…" The man whispered as they saw some guards. "I’ll get three." 

Alicia nodded. "Another three as far as I see...take the right, I get the left." 

"Knew I liked you for a reason, cousin." He grinned at Alicia.

The two of them moved as silently as a cat despite their height, weight and equipment while they let out a knife from their pockets. Soon Elías got rid of the first guard before the second one could shout, Alicia covering their mouth before executing them. They moved around while taking down the guards one by one. But to their surprise there was no bomb inside...just a radio.

It cracked and a voice left them frozen while Alicia went to take the radio. 

"Fucking repeat that." She hissed with hate.

"Surprised, Origin?" Luke asked nervously through the comms to his Captain. 

"A fifth bomb, chaos and my favorite part! Your little little loyal soldier here with me. It almost reminds me of something but there's something missing!" A woman’s voice had spoken through the coms with a malicious tone.

"What-?"

"Enjoy the ambush, let's see if this time you do as YOU. ARE. FUCKING. TOLD!" 

In a second they heard how many mercenaries ran through them. But now Alicia was furious and beyond. She turned slowly to look at the entrance, being livid, as he noticed the rage of her cousin and they just nodded. When the entrance opened and the first person ran inside, Elías grabbed the person by the head and he smacked it into the wall with all his strength, leaving a blood stain behind. 

They were back against back with the knives out and just a moment later they started to fight. Alicia and Elías moved coordinated like a clock between punches and cuts, until one of the mercenaries put Elías in a lock as he struggled. With a little shine Alicia's reglementary knife got stuck on the mercenary's neck and gave Elías enough time to break the lock and finish the job himself. 

"Get. Out. Of. My. WAY!" She roared as she took out the karambit.

It was another while until everything was done, with them covered in wounds and blood while breathing heavily. Alicia walked again to the radio, snatching the mic with a furious mutter. 

"Silver Deer, I know you're hearing this." She hissed, tightening her grip over the mic. "I'm coming for you so be aware of it. This is for taking my people hostage."

Juan David's voice answered instead. "Ohhh, this one really made a mistake. Easy, Andina, the big one is alive and fine." 

"...Tú, mocoso estúpido"

"De nada, acabo de salvarte el pellejo" he said calmly.

With a laugh, Elías patted her shoulder before they ran outside and crossed the chaotic street towards one of the buildings. They were slowed down because of their wounds, but Alicia ran inside of the room from where Juan David called her without caring about her own wounds. She only sighed relieved when she saw Luke handcuffing Silver Deer, who had a shot on the shoulder. 

Alicia didn't say anything, instead she lifted up the other woman and stamped her into the wall with her dripping knife pressed against her neck. Her anger was boiling to the point she was seeing red but forced herself to calm down and push the wounded terrorist towards her cousins. For a minute she had to breathe deeply before she did anything to regret. Instead she looked at her Lieutenant.

"Oh! Captain!" Luke exclaimed with a shameful look while looking away. "uh, I-"

"You SCARED me, Lieutenant." She hissed, softly smacking his back TWICE. "You had me at the verge of a heart attack, boy! I was this close to dying of worry!" She started to scold him.

Elías coughed a bit and smiled. "More like having an ANGER attack." 

"You shut up!" 

"...Sorry, I got distracted." The red-haired said with a chuckle. "It won't happen again. Also, your cousin is a goddamned talented sniper!" 

"I know he is, that's what he does best." 

Alicia sighed and smiled before hugging the Lieutenant by the shoulder. Feeling relieved of seeing him safe and sound. Elías dragged Silver Deer outside to give her to the authorities while Juan David, Alicia and Luke looked in silence at the destroyed building with some regret. If they figured out what was happening earlier...maybe it could have ended differently. 

Alicia stumbled just to be held by her younger cousin and later the three of them went to where the teams were. As soon as they appeared, Jackson ran to aid Alicia after Elías had told him about the wounds that were mostly cuts and bruises. She was told that the Dutch government would take custody of Silver Deer under terrorism and other charges but they had just an hour to get all the information they could before the court took her under the rights of a prisoner.

"...Blackwell, Lombardi." Alicia called while looking up at Jackson and Marcus. "Go for her, get everything you can. Report to me after."

"Yes, Captain." They said before saluting and going to start the interrogatory.

Luke looked at Alicia with an almost offended face. "Alicia-"

She raised a hand to interrupt him. "No. I know you probably are in shock so I won't send you to that."

Luke stayed silent for a second before sighing softly. Nodding as he understood what she was saying. Before he sat beside her on the edge of an ambulance. They just remained in silence for a second while Alicia scratched the gauze over part of her arm, just to be smacked softly by the man.

"Seriously? Stop it." Luke growled, then sighed. "Alicia, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"...Elías told Jackson. And Jackson told me that you almost went ballistic in that place. Is it true?"

"Well, it's true." Alicia said as she slowly looked away. "That bitch took one of my soldiers HOSTAGE. If my cousin haven’t find you guys SOONER-"

"Please remind me to never piss you off to that point." He joked with a chuckle.

Alice looked at Lieutenant with a little surprising look. "...Yeah, yeah.” She said with a small smile.

The line they shared directly with Aly came to life for the first time through the whole mission.  "Origin. Harlem. I have news."

"Aly? We can hear you. What is it?" Alicia asked while sharing a look with Luke. Feeling concerned

"...We did it."

"Eh?" 

Aly chuckled happily before exclaiming excited "Maroon Salamander and his people are down in the ocean! Alpha Six and Shark made sure of it specially!" 

They sighed relieved and chuckled.

"Apparently I owe y'all a dinner, huh?" Alicia said with a side smile. "Tell the WTF that they can choose where to go...after discussing with you, obviously."

"I'll tell them...and how are you over there?"

"...There were victims of a hidden bomb but Silver Deer is under custody and the other bombs are out of the game."

"...I'm so sorry, Alicia."

"It's okay, none of us expected that. The important part is that we're all alive. I'm hurt slightly and Luke is shaken."

"Ha! You wish! I'm TOTALLY fine!" Luke murmured

Aly chuckled when she heard that. "So once the guys arrive. We'll wait for you and your boys to come and eat. While YOU pay!"

Alicia chuckled softly. "Deal"
