I See You (SWS #28)(Ghost!Peter)

This has a PART TWO!

SUNDAYS WITH SPIDEYPOOL MASTERLIST

*******************

The therapist had suggested a new apartment, had said that moving on would be easier if he wasn’t surrounded by his old life, by the things that had made up his life with Vanessa before all the...all the everything happened.

She hadn’t been wrong.

It was infinitely easier to sleep at night when he couldn’t roll over and push his face into Vanessa’s old pillow and wish she was there. Easier to force himself out of bed when the new bathroom had a fancy shower head with all sort of...interesting options. Easier to make himself eat when the kitchen wasnt decorated with their mismatched pots and pans and funny sticky notes on the dirty fridge.

Easier to deal with his new fucking face when he had torn down all the mirrors and tossed them away and now only clean white walls stared back at him.

Easier to go a little crazy this way too.

Two months Wade had been in this new place and he felt like maybe he hated it to his soul, but he didn’t know what else to do. Vanessa was gone. His looks and his charm were gone. Francis had been rude enough to die in an actual accident that Wade had had no part in, or had even been there to witness.

He had dedicated so much time to finding Francis and plotting every way he was going to make that fucker pay that now that it was over Wade didn’t know what to do with himself.

At least he had had a mission. A purpose.

Now he was just a regular guy with an astonishing temper and a fantastically fucked up face living in a bland little apartment, trying to see a therapist to work through his (countless) issues, and staring at plain white walls long enough that he thought he really might be losing whatever was left of his sanity.

Especially when he started hearing voices.

Well not voices. One voice. Just the one. Singing or humming, sometimes talking, sometimes crying.

It flitted in and out of his mind ever so often, and the first time Wade had heard it he had whipped around thinking someone was standing in his apartment, because he had heard the song as if someone had sang it in his ear.

The second time it sounded more like it was coming from outside and he had gone to the window fully prepared to yell at some loud ass kids, only to realize there was no one on the street at all.

Maybe it was music from one of the surrounding apartments? Or people walking down the hall? Or maybe it was weird radio interference?

Wade searched desperately for what the voice could be, until he finally had to admit that maybe the voice was him. Maybe another side affect of this shitty new life was a psychological break, and now he really was crazy.

And he sat in his new apartment staring at the white walls and thought, “Yeah alright. I could go crazy. It wouldn’t be the worst thing to ever happen.”

**********************

Wade made his peace with his fracturing mind. The music wasnt half bad. The voice in his head was even a little soothing. It was like having someone else there in the apartment with him, and that wasn’t...terrible.

(his therapist would disagree, but he stopped seeing her weeks ago)

One day he even thought to say something back to the voice. Maybe if he said something aloud, his other personality would answer and hey, that would be like having a friend, wouldn’t it?

So he sat and waited. Stared at nothing until his eyes started to blur and then just on the edges of his consciousness--

“Say Becky, was you ever engaged?”

Wade blinked. “Um, once. And my name isn’t Becky.”

Silence in the room then, and Wade was struck by the oddest sensation of someone watching him, but he didn’t turn from the wall. “Were you ever engaged?” he asked tentatively, feeling entirely ridiculous for expecting an answer, but then--

“Are you talking to me?”

“Who else would I be talking to?” he snorted. “Just me and you in here, isnt there? Unless there’s another voice or two hidden in my head?”

“In your head.” The voice was cleared now, not quite as whispery. “Is that what you think?”

“Um--” Wade blinked at the wall again, his senses going into overdrive when he got the impression of being approached, like someone was walking towards him.

“Can you see me?” the voice asked. “Or just hear me?”

“No, I cant see you.” Wade said in irritation, and then he was screeching at the top of his lungs, scrambling backwards over the couch and landing on the floor in an ungraceful heap, snatching his gun and sending several rounds right into the boy standing in front of him.

Or rather, sending several rounds through the boy standing in front of him.

“Oh my god, you can see me!” the boy--teenager--college kid? said in excitement, and Wade started screeching again when he walked through the couch and knelt in front of him. “Stop screaming. Stop--stop screaming.” he was smiling, his hands reached out like he was going to touch Wade, and well, Wade was not about to have that, so he sent another round point blank into the kids face and---

---nothing.

“That’s irritating.” the ghost/spirit/thing huffed. “Stop that.”

“What in the fuck?” Wade blurted. “What the fuck. What in the ever loving actual fuck is going on? What the fu--”

“Yes, you said that already.” the other one said mildly. “I dont understand why you can see me. A hundred years Ive been stuck here and no one has ever seen me and now you can see me and I dont understand--” he was staring at Wade like he was fascinated, words tumbling from his mouth almost faster than Wade could keep up, but that could have been because Wade was pretty sure he had gone completely insane this time and his mind had screeched to a complete stop before completely shattering.

“Oh. You’re not crazy.” the ghost shook his head. “I’m really here. Well not here. Im sort of in between worlds. Which makes me wonder if you are--” without stopping to ask permission, and before Wade could think to run the fuck away, the ghost stuck his hands directly into Wade’s chest and first it was blinding cold and then raging heat and the last thing Wade remembered before passing out was the boys eyes widening in surprise, and the entirely unsettling thought that the ghost had the prettiest smile he had ever seen.

*********************

Wade was still on the floor when he came to, and he shook his head to clear it of the ridiculous dream, retrieved his gun and flinched at the bullet holes in his previously perfect wall and stood to stumble to the bathroom to take a shower and wipe away the soreness from being on the floor all night.

Well that was the plan, anyway, until he looked over at the couch and saw that fucking kid sitting there calmly, hands clasped in his lap, an eager smile on his face.

“Nope.” Wade shook his head. “Nopety nope. Fuck no. You aren’t there. I’m not seeing things. Hearing voices is one thing. Hallucinations is another. I’m not even high. Its not fair to see things if I’m not even high.” he took a deep breath. “When I come back from my shower? You better be ghosted the fuck out of here, you understand?”

He slammed the door to the bathroom and turned the water as hot as it could go, turned to reach for a towel--

--and screamed all over again when the kid appeared in front of him.

“Good Christ.” Wade put a hand over his heart. “What are you doing?”

“You don’t understand.” the other one grinned all over again. “You can see me. This is incredible.”

“Is it?” Wade deadpanned. “Because I’m starting to feel like checking myself into a mental asylum.”

“No, its incredible!” the ghost enthused. “You’re incredible. Your soul hovers in the same plane I do, and that’s why you can see me.”

“Alright.” Wade took a deep breath. “I’ve snapped. Its fine. Due to happen, right? I’m going to take my shower, call my therapist and--”

“My names Peter!” the ghost blurted. “Peter. What’s your name?”

“Wade.” he answered, because why not? Why wouldn’t he talk to the hallucination/ghost/imaginary friend.

“Wade.” The ghost-- Peter-- kept smiling and Wade blinked at the happiness in it. “This is wonderful. Thank you. Thank you for seeing me.”

“Um. You’re welcome?”

Peter reached out then, and for all of two seconds Wade could feel his hand, solid and warm, on his scarred skin before it cooled and slid through.

Oh yeah. Yeah, Im batshit crazy.

**************************

He wasn’t crazy, or at least that’s what Peter kept assuring him.

“I’m real.” Peter said for what must have been the thousandth time as Wade eyeballed him suspiciously over his cereal. “Well, sort of real. A ghost. You really see me, you’re not going crazy.”

“Im real.” Peter said again, days later when Wade came out of his bedroom and literally walked through him. “It was rude of you to walk through me, but Im really here.”

Wade was too icked out by the thought of walking through someone, and the lingering chill in his bones to answer.

“Im here.” Peter sighed impatiently, when it had been two weeks and Wade narrowed his eyes and threw a book at Peter, watching in fascination as it slowed to pass through Peters skin and then hit the wall with a thump. “Stop throwing things at me, please!”

“Explain.” Wade finally said one day, plopping on to the couch and then jumping awkwardly up and moving to another chair when Peter sat on the couch next to him. “Explain this.”

“I died a long time ago.” Peter explained. “Here before this building was born and my soul is tied to the land. No one can see me, or hear me and I’ve been wandering around this building for decades.”

“Not this apartment specifically?” Wade asked carefully, his therapists number already dialed in his phone just in case.

“No.” Peter spread his hands vaguely. “You trapped me here. I was wandering through and you took down all the mirrors and now I cant leave.”

“My bad.” Wade muttered, and Peter only grinned at him. “So thats why I can see you? Because you’re trapped?”

“No, you can see me--” Peter leaned forward, brown eyes sparkling and a flush in his cheeks which was... odd...because Wade had always assumed ghosts were see through, not that they looked like cute guys from the 1800s.

“You can see me because of your--” Peter motioned to his face then pointed to Wade. “Whatever this is, keeps your soul somewhere between life and death, like mine. When I touched you that first day--”

“When you violated my chest with your creepy hands?” Wade interrupted.

“Yes.” again, with the little blush and Wade was annoyed by how much he liked it. “When I touched you, I felt your soul. Whatever happened to you keeps you from dying right?”

“Right...” Wade hedged.

“But you aren’t really.... alive?” Peter raised an eyebrow. “Right? I mean, being alive is basically the ability to die right? And you don’t have that ability. Our souls are on the same sort of plane, and I’m trapped in your apartment, so you can see me and talk with me and oh my god--” he laughed, clear and sweet. “I’ve been so lonely for so long and now you’re here and I can actually talk to you! Its incredible!”

“Right.” Wade said again. “Incredible.”

“This is weird for you?” Peter asked, looking upset. “You... you don’t want me here?”

“Actually.” Wade ran his hand over his scalp, scratching idly and then flinching at the pain. “I’m weirded out because you’re awfully pretty for a ghost. I thought you would be blue and see through and blurry. Not looking like someone Id pick up from a bar.”

“Oh!” Peters eyes lit (fuck Wade hated how much he liked it). “You’re awfully pretty too.”

“You’re full of shit, baby boy.” Wade said calmly and got up from the chair. “Do you want me to put up a mirror so you can leave?”

“Um. No?” Peter looked terribly unsure all the sudden. “Do you want me to leave?”

“Talking with a ghost is better than thinking Im going crazy.” Was all Wade said. “Goodnight.”

*********************

It was a weird life, sharing an apartment with a ghost, but Wade had adapted to a lot of weird shit in the last few years so really it wasnt an issue.

Peter didnt eat of course, but he sat with Wade during every meal and made polite conversation. After Wade had shouted at him a few times, Peter had stopped just appearing in the bathroom, explaining sheepishly that he forgot to observe walls and doors when he could just walk through them.

The bedroom was another issue, since Peter didn’t need to sleep he simply stood and watched and that was creepy even for Wade, so after another heated discussion, Peter had stopped doing that too.

They settled into something of a pattern and it was a little domestic and sort of sweet how happy Peter was anytime Wade came home and it certainly didnt hurt that the kid was gorgeous, right? All long limbs and big eyes and a ridiculous smile and an annoying (adorable and fairly sexy) way of biting at his bottom lip when he got excited.

“I ran off to join the circus when I was eighteen.” Peter explained one day and Wade said a silent prayer of thank the fucking lord that he had died at over eighteen-- and wow wasnt that a screwed up thought to have?

“What did you do in the circus?” he asked, only to keep his mind away from that sort of thought about the ghost.

“I was a trapeze artist.” Peter grinned. “Something amazing about flying like that. Flipping through the air and only having those strings to hold you up. We didn’t have nets and it was such a thrill to be that high up and know that you could die if you weren’t careful.”

“Trapeze artist, huh?” Wade was the worst, because he heard trapeze artist and thought bendy and that was... that had to be messed up right? “So what happened?”

“There wasn’t a net.” Peter explained sheepishly. “And I tried something ridiculous and fell. It wasn’t pretty.”

“Uh, yeah. I bet not.”

Another day, Wade was pacing in the apartment, rubbing at his head, irritated because his skin hurt and he had had nightmares the night before and hadnt slept and god he was cranky and finally collapsed face down on the couch to scream into a pillow--

--And cool hands landed on his back, touching just barely over his skin and numbing the sting and Wade took a shaky breath and asked, “Does it feel gross to you?”

“All I can feel is your warmth.” Peter explained, working his hands lower and smiling over the groan of relief Wade gave him. “Im always cold, and you’re so warm, I love it.”

“Oh.”

Cool hands smoothing over his butt and working down his legs and Wades eyes flew open in alarm when he started...responding... because it was weird enough that there was a ghost giving him a back rub but it was even weirder that he was apparently popping a boner over it but hey, the ghost was a hottie and it had been a long time since Wade had even thought to--

“Roll over for me.” Peter suggested, and then he laughed. “Or I could just get under you I guess. Could just phase through the couch and--”

“Nope!” Wade blurted. “Dont!”

“Do my hands feel bad?” Peter frowned. “I know you can only feel them for a few seconds before they give way, but--”

“Nope. Everything feels good.” he said through gritted teeth. “Really really good. Thank you. Move away please.”

“Oh. Alright.”

That night was the first night Wade shoved his pajama pants down and took himself in hand, fully prepared to jerk off to the image of big brown eyes and slim hands and those stupid long legs and the way Peters lips parted when he smiled--

---but then he felt gross over it and pulled his pants back up, throwing an arm over his eyes and willing his arousal to lessen.

This was weird even by his standards.

********************

It started getting more difficult for Wade to leave the apartment, knowing Peter couldn’t go with him, and the money from his mercenary days was more than enough to pay for the apartment and food so Wade ended up spending every day just... home. Watching TV, or reading, or learning how to cook more and more complex meals, with Peter reading from the recipe books and telling him stories from his life before.

Eventually, Wade started walking around the apartment with less clothes on, content with Peters constant reassurance that he didn’t care about his skin.

“Really, I see your soul.” Peter explained one day. “I mean, yeah, I see you physically, but because our souls are on the same plane, that is more obvious to me.”

“Besides.” his voice softened then. “You’re gorgeous, so even if I couldn’t see your soul I would stare.”

“You’re full of shit, baby boy.” Wade rolled his eyes, but couldn’t deny that it made him feel good and when Peter reached for his hand, Wade lay his palm out so Peter could bring their fingertips together, phasing in and out of being corporeal, the cool touch coming and going every few seconds.

And when Peter finally did ask about the scars, Wade told him all about the cancer and Vanessa and Francis and his revenge, and fully expected Peter to do that adorable nose wrinkle he did when he was disgusted, but instead Peter just smiled sadly and said how sad he was that Wade had had such a hard go of it.

“Maybe I’m happy, though.” he said cautiously. “Because if it hadn’t happened, then you wouldn’t be able to see me and Id still be here, and lonely.”

They held hands again after that and when Wade went to bed, Peter stood on his toes (frankly, adorable, because it was such a human thing to do) and tried to kiss Wade, his lips solid for only a second before they dissipated.

It was odd, but it was wonderful and Wade realized one day that he had gone and fucking fallen in love, and if there was ever a time to call his therapist, that would have been it. But instead he put in Patrick Swayze’s Ghost and justified that if Demi could be in love with a ghost, then so could he.

And then at some point, Peter started sleeping in bed next to him.

Or not so much sleeping as he was lying there with his eyes closed, with one hand resting on Wade’s chest because he knew Wade slept better with someone else there.

They never talked about it, never brought it up, just let it happen because it made them both happy.

They also never talked about the day Wade had finally given in and gotten himself off in the shower thinking about Peter, wishing he was solid and real and then Wade could really hold him like he wanted to. Hold him and kiss him and press him into the bed and---

And when he was done, he had walked out the door to see Peter staring at him and biting his lip, cheeks flushing red, and his hands trembling a little when he reached out to touch Wade’s cheek. His fingers had seemed solid for longer that time, brushing over Wade’s rough skin sweetly, before fading again.

It came up eventually that Peter had been reciting The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, that first day that Wade had heard him. He had read the book so many times, he had it memorized and it was the only thing that kept him from feeling lonely.

Wade ordered a Kindle that same day and uploaded as many books as he could onto it and gave it to Peter as a present, confident that he could be solid enough for the split second it could take to turn pages on the e-reader.

Peter didnt speak for a solid week after that, his nose almost pressed to the screen, lips moving as he devoured the books.

Wade woke up one morning to Peter started sleeping on his side with what was probably the cutest ass Wade had ever seen (or not seen, since it was ghostly and all that) budged up into Wade’s hips, his Kindle on the bed next to him, a sleepy smile on his lips.

“Pete?” Wade asked quietly, and the boy opened his eyes and leaned up to press a kiss to Wade’s lips, just barely there before it was gone, and then cool hands down his sides before Peter snuggled close-- or as close as he could before moving through Wade, anyway.

“So um, men then?” Wade said awkwardly. “Or is it just because I bought you books?”

“Men.” Peter assured him, then shyly smiled and whispered, “But really its just you, Wade.”

***********************

“So almost a hundred years, sweet cheeks?” Wade asked and Peter nodded, drawing his fingers in idle patterns over Wade’s bare chest and down to his stomach. “Why are you stuck here?”

“I don’t know.” Peter admitted. “At first I thought it was some sort of purgatory. The first few decades I wasn’t solid at all. Just wavering there, could see through my own hands-- it was horrifying. Maybe twenty or thirty years ago I started being able to actually talk again, and now I’m physically for a few seconds at a time.” he held up his hands in explanation. “Ten seconds is about my max, but I think being here with you is making it longer.”

“You look tired today.” Wade said in concern. “I’ve never seen you look tired.”

“I feel tired.” Peter complained and leaned his head against Wade’s shoulder, frowning when he phased through almost immediately. “I dont really know whats going on.”

“Maybe your purgatory sentence is almost up.” Wade meant it to be teasing, but Peters eyes widened in fear.

“I don’t want to die, though.” he whispered. “Im terrified of dying, Wade. I just got used to being here. What will happen to me?”

“Oh, baby boy, I didn’t think--” Wade bit his tongue to keep from saying anything stupid. “I don’t really think--”

“I don’t want to die Wade!” Peter was panicking now. “I don’t want to leave you!”

“Shhh, sugar buns. Its alright.” Usually the boy loved Wades names for him, and would blush and smile, but today it only set him off further.

“No! No! I don’t want to! I like being here with you! If I go somewhere else Ill be so alone!” Peter cried. “You will be alone and I dont want that! I dont!”

“Easy. Easy, baby boy. We will figure it out.” Wade reached for Peter, but his hands passed right through him and Peter nearly screamed when he couldnt make himself solid for ever a few seconds.

“Wade!”

****************

Wade didn’t quite know what to do with himself after Peter left. Or disappeared. Or poofed or whatever it was ghosts did.

It was weird-- one day he was there, and then the next day he was a little less there and then one morning Wade woke up and Peter was no where to be found.

He hung a mirror in the hall, just in case Peter managed to find a way back, but it never happened.

There’s wasn’t much to do without Peter to keep him company, so Wade started taking jobs again, traveling further and further from the States as he did, and the money from doing the mercenary thing was even better now that he was basically un-killable, so he took more and more jobs, amping up the danger because it was the only thing to keep him from thinking too much.

Word got around of course, about the loud mouth Merc who didnt seem to die, and he caught the attention of the Avengers-- the too pretty to be real Tony Stark, and the slice of All American beef that was Captain America. Black Widow was fucking terrifying and Hawkeye was at least chill-- he and Wade could crack jokes behind the others back in sign language and that was fun.

Every once in a while around the Avengers Tower Wade caught sight of an intern with thick brown hair and long legs and he always stopped himself from going after the kid.

The intern couldn’t help that he looked like the ghost Wade had fallen in love with twenty years ago.

(That was a weird sentence, even in Wade’s head.)

But then-- then-- Wade met Spiderman and was instantly in love.

The kid was smart mouthed and sassy and fucking bendy and he flew through the air like he was on a damn trapeze and Wade loved it. Spidey teased him and wrestled with him and spent nights eating burritos back to back so they didn’t accidentally see each others face and it was the first time in a long time that Wade felt something close to normal.

“So you gonna bless me with your name, or should I start giving you nicknames?” Wade asked one night as they scarfed down chinese food. “I mean, I did save your life tonight. I think you owe me at least that much.”

“At least my name?” Spidey snorted. “The hell you do.”

“Have it your way, baby boy.” Wade said nonchalantly, and was surprised to realize that saying the nickname still made his chest tighten and his heart hurt a little bit.

He wouldn’t ever be over that ghost, would he?

“Spidey?” he asked, when the kid didn’t say anything.

“Um. You could tell me your name?” The words were a little muffled, as if Spidey had pulled his mask back down.

“Wade.” he said instantly. “You can call me Wade, or sir, or daddy, or whatever--ooph!”

Wade fell over when the solid pressure of Spidey at his back disappeared, and he turned just in time to see the kid web off the roof and out into the dark.

“Rude.” he sighed. “Kids these days.”

******************************

Wade had never moved from his apartment. Partly for the sentiment, partly because he never really quit hoping Peter would come back, partly because he was too fucking lazy to move.

But the building had all but been abandoned now, not the upscale apartments it had been thirty years ago, and Wade had most of the tenth floor to himself, which made it completely unexpected and fairly weird that someone knocked on his door sometime close to three am.

“Who the fuck--?” he groaned and pulled himself out of bed, foregoing his mask because the only people around this time of night were cops or druggies and he had no problem shocking either of them. He had been dreaming about Peter again, and wondered irritably when that lovely habit would stop. It had been almost twenty five years at this point.

Enough was enough. He was tired of feeling heart broken after all this fucking time.

More knocking at his door and Wade dragged on a pair of pants and stomped towards the hallway.

“What the fuck do you want?” he ripped his door open. “Who the hell-- Spidey?” he glanced down the empty hallway then back at the web slinger in front of him. “What are you doing here?”

“Wade?” Spidey asked hesitantly, and the soft voice was so achingly close to Peter that Wade almost shut the door in his face.

“Yeah.” Wade nodded, then motioned to his face. “Surprise. Sorry. What do you want? Usually Id be down for some Spider Booty but, baby boy its been a hell of a night so maybe you should--”

“Wade.” Again, just as soft, and Spidey pulled his mask off right there in the hallway to stare up at him. “I cant believe you still live here.”

Wade blinked down at him, down at Peter--

--and promptly shut the door.

Then he nearly tore it off his hinges opening it again, and asked, “If I try to shoot you, will you bleed?”

“Like a bitch.” Peter nodded and started laughing, even as tears slid down his cheeks. “I cant believe I didnt realize it was you all this time. I mean, I thought it was you, but I never knew your name, and you never took off your mask and then you called me baby boy and--”

He lunged forward like he wanted to kiss him, and Wade put a hand up to stop him. “Explain.” he demanded. “Right now.”

“After I--poofed?” Peter offered. “I um... I was born. My soul was recycled or whatever, and I kept having flashes back to my other life and my time as a ghost and when I met you they started to get worse and then tonight you told me your name and its like all these memories came crashing back and--”

“You are talking really fast.” Wade pointed out, and Peter blushed and bit at his lip.

“Sorry. I just-- I cant believe-- did you know it was me?”

“Do I look like I knew it was you?”

“Its me.” Peter nodded his head and reached for Wade’s hand to bring it to his cheek. “It’s me. I promise. I don’t understand why or how or anything like that, but Im right here. Im really here. You aren’t crazy.”

He hesitated, twisted his mask in his hand anxiously. “Can you-- can you see me?”

“Yeah baby boy.” Wade brought his other hand up to frame Peters face, rubbing his thumbs through the tears. “Yeah, I see you.”

Close To You

It was a cold winter’s afternoon in the countryside. We take a closer look at the house right next to the park. Inside there is a gathering of friends, old and new, to watch some football and celebrate the upcoming Christmas holidays together. We go one step further and find one man, sitting alone in his thoughts on this gleeful occasion. His mind a blur, his thoughts stirring in his head, but not of christmas trees and decorations, but of regrets, past mistakes, loneliness, and what seems to be the lack of any substantial emotion. These might be thoughts that his friends and coworkers once shared with him, but as he closes in on himself and becomes a tightly wound book of secrets they will never know the troubles that he finds himself facing. The fire-breathing dragons of remorse and regret and the other demons that lay beneath his subconscious. But after dealing with these demons for years and still standing, he has managed to perfect a visage that will protect his true emotions from those he loves. Let us take a closer look into his psyche during this happy occasion, because tonight is about to change his life forever.

*ominous music begins to play as the view shifts from an overview of the gathering to inside the mind of Rahim as we begin to see everything through his eyes*

He’s all alone! The 30! The 20!! The 10!!! Touchdooooown!!!!!!!

Half of them erupted into cheers, the other half into sneers. They prodded and poked fun at one another, the winners laughed at the losers and the losers came up with excuses for their team’s poor performance. I was in my own little world for a minute there, i wasn’t really paying attention to the game at all. I mean, i usually love to watch football, but recently my heart just hasn’t been in it. I look at my best friends bouncing on the couch and laughing at the girls and guys cheering for the losers. Then he looked at me and i gave a disingenuous and pointed back at him like “YEAH our team is winning and shit”. He was so caught up in the hype that he bought it. Funny thing is, that the game was only in the 3rd quarter, so it could easily go either way at any point. But you gotta get hype at all times to have more fun watching right.

I took out my phone and turned it on. 0 messages. 0 updates. It was dry as hell. So i stuffed it back in my pocket and continued to sit against the wall close to the sofa. I took a deep breath and decided that i need to start enjoying these moments, because it’s not everyday that i get to spend time with all of my best friends from University. Like we all live at different ends of the country. I got to enjoy the little time we have together. So i gave myself this stupid shitty pep talk in hopes that it would pick up my mood, and even though i felt like i was faking it i started to act like i had my shit together. I started to actually participate in getting hype as hell for the game and my anxieties and stress all actually decided to take a backseat for a little while. It was fantastic. I was actually enjoying myself and goofing around and stuff.

It was all going great until at the end of the 3rd quarter. There was this girl sitting on the sofa opposite to my best friend. I hadn’t even noticed her this entire time, but she stood up and looked at me and said “Hey Rahim, you wanna help me make a drink?” I was shocked, i wasnt even sure i knew who this girl was, and i was stunned for a few seconds as she looked over at me invitingly. My best friend’s eyes got wide and he slyly gestured that i go and join her, and with each nod he made it slightly more obvious as if he was whispering in my ear “Damn dude, she’s cute go join her already”.

“Uh, yeah sure” i stammered as i walked over to the dinner table. We sat down and i stared at the wide array of alcoholic drinks as she began to grab and mix drinks as if she was a bartender in her past life. I noticed her silky black hair draped over one shoulder and her glowing tan skin began to shine in the light. She was gorgeous, with her deep brown eyes that were inviting, yet kind.

“Do you want me to make you one?” She said. Wait, what the hell, we sat down like 30 seconds ago and she’s already crafted this dope looking christmas drink.

“No thanks, i don’t drink”

“Oh, i didn’t know that! That’s pretty cool.” She said as she smiled at me. And i swear i could feel the whole room light up.

But then it all stopped. She sat there sipping on her drink, and i could feel my mouth being forced shut as my anxieties started to trickle back into my mind and i couldn’t think of anything to say. All i could think about was, If you put a penguin in a tuxedo would you be able to tell it apart from other penguins? Fuck. It’s fucking happening again. I’m with this girl that is breathtaking, she may be interested in me and i can’t for the fucking life of me think of anything to say.

I made a grumbling sound as i was physically frustrated at my inability to carry a conversation with this cute girl. Then it started to take over. My vision started to disfigure. It’s as if i was losing reception on everything i saw before me. Like a tv that is slowly transitioning to white sound. And all i could hear echoing in the depths of my mind was wow, i don’t even have any game in my own fucking dreams… I started rapidly looking around the room and blinking to restore my sight. I probably looked like a complete moron, so i started to brush my eyes with my hands as if i just yawned.

“Is everything okay? You seem a little quiet” she softly spoke with her elegant voice.

“What? Uh, yeah, everything’s totally fine. Um…” I looked behind her and saw the streetlight shining out in the night lighting up the light snowfall. It was a picturesque scene and before i could even process it i blurted “you want to go outside? Uh, um, i mean do you want to got to the park and, like, walk around or something? It’s up to you” as the words just fell out of my mouth, all jumbled up and filled with anxiety.

“Yeah sure!” She accepted in a cheerful tone. She got up and grabbed my hand as we quietly made our way outside.

The park looked beautiful, there was a single street light glowing onto the snow below and it’s reflection cast a shimmering light. I was entirely caught up in the moment. It was spectacular. One moment we went from quietly drinking, or me watching her quietly drink (boy if i had a dollar for everytime that has happened), to us walking through the snow hand in hand. I still couldn’t wrap my head around how i even got into this scenario in the first place. It was magnificent.

I stopped her underneath the street light and looked at her straight in her beautiful eyes. “Wait” i said as i took a deep breath and began to dig deep. “I’m sorry i’m super quiet and shy…” And as i was talking i could feel a rush of memories flow back into my mind like a wild riptide. I remembered the first time we met, and how i could feel an instant connection. How it was love at first sight, at least from my point of view. How i could never get her out of my mind for weeks, especially during the times that we were never with the same group of people. She was constantly the only girl i thought about and how this moment was the perfect one for me to tell her how i felt.

“… I really like you. I always have, and i never knew how to tell you, or that you would even think about feeling the same way that i do. But, I said it and i mean it. You’re constantly on my mind, but i don’t know how to act around you. I just get so — ” While i was stammering out my feelings mixed with plenty of filler um’s and uh’s she pulled me close and kissed me. It was magnificent. I could feel the entire world light up for those few seconds. It’s as if i could feel the love radiate off of me in flowing pink embers spreading love out to the world. The whole world stopped for a second while i relished in this moment that i wished could last forever. We pulled back, hand in hand and just stared at each other for a full second until she broke the silence.

“I feel the same way about you”. She gave off an adorable shy smile and i had a big goofy grin spread all across my goofy face as my heart was pounding and singing us a love song.

But before we could continue to just spend an eternity staring into each others eyes, a blurry white puff came out of nowhere and smacked me right on the shoulder. It exploded and sent bits and pieces of snow all over the two of us.

“Sorry to ruin the moment but i couldn’t have timed it any better. Wow! If only i got you in the face!” my best friend yelled out as he bent down to pick up some more snow.

“Get behind me!” I yelled in a confident and manly tone i had never used before “i’ll save us!” as it broke into a comical farce of a superhero catchphrase. I shielded her behind me as we laughed out and everyone joined us outside after hearing all of the commotion. We started hurling snowballs at everyone else. It was the two of us against the world. I would purposely jump in the way of any snowball that came towards us to shield her and we both started hurling snowballs at everyone else while yelling crude insults and laughing loudly.

After the snowball fight subsided everyone just stood in their own groups chatting and fooling around in the snow. But i stood right in front of her locked into that stare we shared earlier. This time i leaned in for the kiss and lifted her up in the air. It was like a movie scene, i could feel the camera spin around us as we locked into a kiss that lasted forever. It was eternal, it didn’t feel like this kiss would ever end. It was just as beautiful as the first and just as lovely. I could once again feel the love being spread from us to everyone in the world. Our bond was unmatched, i really did feel like it was love at first sight. We kissed for what seemed like forever, i could feel the years gracefully slip by as i pictured our lives together, our wedding, house, kids and everything in between. Until the kiss ended. The picture i had in my mind slowly started to drip away as i was reminded that i was currently living the greatest moment of my life so far.

After staring into each others eyes she looked at me with a cute gaze. Took a deep breath and softly said “I…”

The vision evaporated from my mind as i woke up in my bed surrounded by my dogs and the sunlight beaming through my bedroom window. It was all a dream. It was all a fucking dream. I thought to myself, as it fucking happened again. I dropped back down onto my pillow and shut my eyes tightly. I tried to replay all of the memories that i had left of that dream. But every time i looked at her i saw nothing. Her gorgeous face and features had been wiped clean. I could not remember for the life of me what she has looked like. The face that had captivated my dream goes missing. It had disappeared from my subconscious and i had woken up completely broken. Not just the fact that this love i thought i experienced was all a fucking sham. But even the fact that this mystery woman that completely controlled my thoughts and made me feel happy once again. She entranced me with her alluring attraction and adorable demeanour but i could not figure out how. I felt the spark between us for some reason, but many moments of the dream are just black holes ripped from the script. Only to be rewritten by the only man who lived them, if you could even call it living, or experiencing. I tried my best to piece together what i can remember. But for the life of me i cannot figure out what about this mystery woman captivated me like this. Was it her looks? Because i cannot picture them. Was it our conversation? Because i cannot remember any of the words we shared together. All i remember is the passionate kisses. The one’s that i wish would never end.

But that really is kinda how i feel about this whole thing. As if i was betrayed by my mind, or left to wander the earth alone unable to recapture this feeling. And it’s not the first time it’s happened either.

Talk about...

1: Talk about the first time you watched your favorite movie. - I cant remember that well since I was a little kid.. ( The lion king), um but I remember being so into it and I loved animals and it kind of started me wanting to draw. But i cant remember the first time i watched it.

2: Talk about your first kiss. We were really awkward, I liked him..but not enough, and so we went driving around, got starbucks, and then found this bench and we were talking/flirting, and then he just kissed me. But it was nasty asf, it was so gross. his spit was all over me, blehh. I hated it. I remember being like if this is kissing i do not want it. It wasnt tell i kissed another person that i was like Oh thats what its supposed to be like..

3: Talk about the person you've had the most intense romantic feelings for. He is my current boyfriend. We met on Okcupid in 2015 right after i had finished high school. It was like September. its funny because i wasnt rly serious on that site but then I started to talk to him and we hit it off really well.. we dated for a week then broke up LMAOOO. But then in April 2016 we started to talk again and in May we dated. so its been a year so far, and i am really in love with him. He and I click very well, he’s 7 years older than me. we play video games together but sometimes i watch him play by himself cus its fun that way too. He likes anime tho and i hate it lol. hes very funny and he can be super sweet and romantic and sometimes hes jusr a fkn nerd. idk what else to say before i start going on forever about it.

4: Talk about the thing you regret most so far. Meeting the dude who assaulted me. we were just friends and i had a bad feeling about him but i shoved it off. and then he attacked and assaulted me. I wish i went with that gut feeling. Thank god hes gone.

5: Talk about the best birthday you've had. My best birthday was either my 18th or 19th. My 20th was boring. But my 18th I got a wii U and i got drunk too, and i had fun. but yeah, like idk the best prob was when i was a child and had lotsa friends and cake.

6: Talk about the worst birthday you've had. My 16th because my dad was dying.

10: Talk about the biggest fight you've ever had. theres been a few. But i think with my ex friend who just said she hated me and it was random asf, but she ghosted on me after and so it wasnt really a fight. another one i had was when i started to date my current BF and he wasnt being the best and I was like maybe i should drop him so i tried too and then we fought and then we actually were adults and explained the situation and we sorted it all out. since then we have been so good. like we know how eachother works. Lol fuck.

11: Talk about the best dream you've ever had. I cant think of one.

13: Talk about the first time you had sex/how you imagine your first time. The first time i had sex I was super nervous. ( It was with my current bf), and we tried and then i started to cry because I was nervous and also from my trauma, and then he was like okay thats fine. Then later that night he asked if we wanted to try again so I said sure. and so we started to make out and then before i knew it was actually inside me and I was like wtf that wasnt bad, and it felt really good. It wasnt overly romantic like they make in movies but it was super good and he was slow and good with me. ever since then i crave dick every minute LMAOOO.

14: Talk about a vacation. I went to disneyland with my mom the year i was graduating high school. It was so much fun, I felt so safe and happy . I cant really explain what i felt just felt like everything was gonna be OK and the rides were just so awesome and the food was great lol

okay. so i hope they never read this because i hope theyve forgotten about it. but the first time i ever asked someone out was last fall. i know i know im nearly 18 and it wasnt till last year that i asked someone out? so anyway. our mutual friend monkey was like trying to convince me to ask them out for like 6 months before i did. the person in question had gone through a breakup and monkey wanted them to move on already i guess i dunno. and so like i knew they didnt like me. but then there was this thing and so i was like wiat do they? so i asked them about it. and they were like “no i dont like you” and i was like okay then wtf was all that?!?! and they were like well i guess i didnt realize i liked u and i was like okay???? so would u be willing to date and they were like no not really but they seemed really vagu about it so i was like so wait is that a yes willing to date or no???? it was a no. but anyway monkey continued to bug me to ask them out. so i, being the bumbling baffoon that i am asked them hypothetically if they would date me. they said yes. even tho i expected them to say no. then while i was freaking out about that and trying to think of what to do next they said no. which made me a little upset because if ur gonna say no u should just say it in the first place (dont mess with peoples feelings kids its rude). and so then i got upset and said some mean things and yeah. we went back to being friends.and if they do read this. im sorry dude. really really really sorry.

25: Talk about an ex-best friend.

well smelly is an ex bestie. smelly and i are still friends but not like best friends. shes chill. when we were super close it wasnt exactly a healthy relationship. she was a bit of a bully. i was selfish and went back on my word all the time. but like shes super chill now. she gets in trouble with her mom a lot tho which sucks.

27: Talk about your favorite part of someone else’s body.

ummmmm im afraid that this is gonna come out sounding like i have a crush on them but i dont. no realy feelings for anyone at the mo. i like pretty all my friends’ hair and eyes. i especially like heathers hair and adis eyes.

29: Talk about what turns you on.

confidence. like in the new thor movie trailers theres that woman who breaks his hammer like that kinda confidence where u and everyone in the rooom knows ur the biggest baddest thing around like damn son.

31: Talk about what you think death is like.

it depends on how u die? i mean besides the whole pain thing i think its kinda peaceful. u know u get that feeling of complete and utter contentment and just kinda fade away. i dont know what happens next. but i think thats what the end of dying and beginning of being dead is like.

33: Talk about what you do when you are sad.

cry. watch funny things. get on tumblr. try and make myself more miserable. and if it gets to a really bad point ill try and talk to someone about stuff. but i mainly just try and cheer myself up or emotionally wound myself.

35: Talk about things you wish you could stop doing.

i wish i could stop being so afraid if everything. i wish i could stop falling for people that dont and never will fall for me. i wish i could stop being depressed. and easily stressed.

37: Talk about someone you thought you were in love with.

ive already mentioned them twice. i think thats enough times for one post. but they like superheros. a lot. like the amount of enthusiasm you would expect from a 5 year old. it can be adorable. except when ur tired and just want everyone to leave u alone and never speak to u again.they dont like rhe beach. which is something i just cant understand at all. how do u not like the beach! they have kind eyes. and i honestly have no idea how i had such strong feelings for them. theres nothing wrong with them and theyre a really cool person that almost anyone would be lucky to have but like i just like u look at someone through a different lense and its just different. itd be like me trying to imagine having feelings for adi or heather. its just weird. theyre going away to college next fall. which im kinda bummed about but thats mostly because im not going to college this fall except community college. they wanna do something with art orfilms i think. he pronounces my name wrong. sometimes. but sometimes he prnounces it right. we are friends on fb. it says right there on my proflie how to pronounce it. we have talked and i have told him my name. like its not that hard! its like the thing that pisses me off the second most of things he does/has done.

39: Talk about things you wish you’d known earlier.

to do well in higher grades u need to understand stuff u learn n elementary and middle school really well. thats all that i can think of thats not really sad and depressing at the mo.

thanks for asking me all these questions anon! ily

Izaya & Liz [Prologue]

Liz wasn't normally the type to approach people, she would wait for someone to approach her and go from there, but this situation want exactly... Normal. Although she dreaded the thought of starting a social interaction, to her it appeared that there was no choice, I mean, she was going to be stuck on this boat with these people for who knows how long... So she looked across the room, found someone that was alone, walked over to them and did her best to seem friendly and strike up a conversation, "H-hi there... Um... I'm Liz, the ultimate surgeon, I don't believe we've met."

Of all things Izaya expected, being approached by someone who seemed almost as nervous as themselves wasn't one of them. Not that they weren't grateful that someone made the effort though. "I-I'm Izaya Fanrong. Ultimate Fireworks Ma-Maker. It's really nice to meet you, Liz-san." They extended a hand for Liz to shake; they were so nervous and shakey, but Liz to them seemed like they were the formal type.

Liz breathed a sigh of relief, she was always afraid that somehow starting a conversation would end horribly, but this time it seemed to work out. She smiled and shook their hand, she didn't think that they would be the type to go for the hand shake, but she just did her best to not turn it awkward and went with it, "it's nice to meet you too! So how are you handling this, ah... Weird.... Situation?"

"How am I...." Izaya trailed off, mulling over their answer, "W-Well. If I'm honest, I'm h-handling it....pretty badly." They went with the honest answer it seems. They internally thanked their stars that their hand wasn't as sweat as it was shakey, they'd never live it down if they got poor Liz's hand all soggy.

Concern shows on Liz' face, "I suppose it is difficult to be okay in a situation like this, I consider myself a generally levelheaded person, but even this has me a little unsettled... But I saw Leon and Runa talk to you a bit, hopefully it helped to have a couple people there for you almost as soon as you woke up?"

"Oh, yeah! They're so nice, it's like having my parents here, haha..." Despite clearly trying to joke with Liz, Izaya looked to nervous, it probbaly came as no shock when they apologised, "S-Sorry....that was weird,huh?..."

Thinking back to every moment, and there are quite a few of them, in the past year that she said something somewhat awkward she was easily able to empathise with Izaya in this situation, "no, no it's fine! They definitely are the dependable type."

"Ah, they really are!" Izaya looked visibly relieved that she hadn't thought they were weird. "I feel like, no matter what, we can um, depend on them." They managed to hold a conversation, dang. Izaya decided to be a bit bolder, "S-So um, what's it like being a surgeon?.."

"well..." She thinks for a bit, "a lot of the time it's rewarding, sometimes it's very sad, but it's always a little stressful too." She stops before she says too much wanting to spare Izaya the gory details that she felt might scare the person. "What's it like being a fieworks maker? It sounds dangerous..."

"yeah, I guess you guys see some.....really horrible stuff." they shook their head to clear their mind. be happy, don't upset Liz by being a downer. "Ah, it's.....very dangerous, yeah, but um, I've been doing it for so long, I almost never make a mistake. I....No, I- I wouldn't want to be anything else I don't think, ehe...."

Intrigued Liz looks over at Izaya, "do you make fireworks for festivals? Or are they the type to just be used at home? I don't think I've ever seen a fireworks show, but it sounds beautiful!"

"Primarily it's the festival type, but I do um, I know how to make stuff like sparklers and fire crackers..." They rubbed the back of their neck in thought, "It's basic chemistry once you, um, when you know what to do..."

"ohh, that's very cool! How did you get into making fireworks anyway, sorry if this is blunt, but did your parents just allow you to play with explosives when you were a kid?" Liz tilts her head, curious

"ah, no! My father is a painter and my mother's a scientist, she helped me study while father would sit and paint," They played with their sweatband as they spoke, "She introduced me to combustion experiments and um, I got into fireworks on my own. I didn't make my first one until she- until she tested me on my skills and said I was ready so..." They seemed to speak pretty fondly of their parents, "Sorry, I got so carried away... how about you? What got you into medical practices?"

A smile appears on Liz' face as she talks, it warms her to know that they had such supportive parents, "your parents sound really nice."

That question causes Liz to go a bit silent as, with a flustered look, she tries to think of what to say, "U-uh well, I mean, I just... Um..." She freezes a bit completely at a blank for how to continue, and decided to just try to change the subject instead, with almost too much enthusiasm and an awkward laugh she says "Y-your eyes are really interesting! I've met only one other person with heterochromia! In fact you have a really cool sense of style, haHAha." She hopes the topic change wasnt too obvious, who was she kidding she knew it was painfully obvious, and awkward, and probably off-putting.

Oh no, they made things awkward didn;t they?! Izaya gave Liz a concerned look, "Ah sorry! Um, yeah, my um, my grandma has the same condition, but her eyes are way nicer than mine!" They looked a little more jittery. Gosh, they shouldn've have been so personal so soon! heck!

Liz takes a deep breath in. Then a breath out. She doesn't want to ruin her conversation with Izaya, so she does her best to calm herself down, then creates a calm smile on her face, "It's... Okay. But your eyes really are beautiful. I hope I can see one of your fireworks shows one day! Is there anything else you like to do, I guess do you have any hobbies?"

They blushed at the compliment, "Oh gosh, you're so nice! I'll definitely um, if I can I'll make a firework just for you!" Their stance relaxed a little, "I guess um, I really, really like space. Stars, the moon, the planets. Of which I um, am firmly in the belief that Pluto should still uh, be one." IZAYA.

Liz giggled at Izaya's last comment, "that's cool, the night sky is definitely beautiful, so you like looking through telescopes and going to planetariums and that kind of stuff then? Also if you did make me a firework that'd be so nice! And cool!" LIz smiled brightly

"Wow, then I definitely will!" Izaya smiled, "It really is beautiful, when I was little, I used to want to be an astronaut, but um....I'm scared of well....all the danger in space." They admitted sheepishly, "But I guess that's why I cling to my fireworks. Maybe it's like my way of sending space something from me?....Sorry, that was weird.."

"awesome, I look forward to it!" She looks at Izaya with excitement, "no! That's not weird at all, I kinda liked that in a cheesy sort of way! Being an astronaut would be cool though, but space really is scary when you think about it..."

"Yeah, one time I saw this insane space movie and I couldn't sleep for a month." Izaya groaned, "I can still see the aliens...." They shuddered, their hair somehow standing more on end, "A-Anyway, what about your hobbies, Liz-san? What does a surgeon do um, outside the operating theatre?"

"Well I like to read quite a bit, normally if I watch a movie or anything I try to avoid scary ones and, I know this is probably boring of me, but I really like documentaries," Liz rests her head on her hands, "Oh! and I love bird watching!"

"Documentaries are pretty good." Izaya agreed. The bird watching mention did have them surprised, "Wow, really? I think birbs are adorable, but I'm, I'm not quiet enough to watch them, they just fly away..."

She mutters under her breath, stifling a giggle "b-birbs." Liz smirks, really the things Izaya says sometimes are so cute, "Yep! It's really relaxing, i think, and the... birbs... are indeed really cute! It is difficult sometimes to be quite and not be seen by them, but the binoculars you can use allow you to observe from a distance."

Izaya caught that and did give a tiny giggle too. Birbs are good. "Oooh, okay, I've been doing it reeeeally wrong then. I thought you just...well...find a birb. And watch it."

"Ah, well, it can be, but it's also like listening for the bird song and trying to identify what type of bird it might be and where it is, I get really excited when I hear and see a really rare birb. Which probably sounds kinda nerdy... and boring. But seriously if I find a rare species I get so excited that I start to, like, shake... sometimes I get so excited that I just kind of scare the bird away on accident..." Liz looks wistfully off into the distance remembering all of her bird-seeking adventures of the past.

"Wow, so you can kind of speak birb? Awesome..." Of all the things to comment on...

Liz nods with another smirk on her face, "yes. I speak so much birb." She then looks over at Izaya excitedly, "Hey, if you make me that firework, I can take you bird watching sometime, ah, that is if that's something you'd actually want to do.."

"Seriously!? I-I'd love to!!" They excitedly bounced on their feet a little. Making plans with a friend!! It's like a dream come true!

Princess Zuki waves sheepishly,,,

Assassin Deak: ...are you hurt?

Queen Alma whats happening

Assassin Deak looks back to nea Assassin Deak: years of practice.

Assassin Lavi sauntering over to the queen with his hands behind his back casually

Assassin Deak: dancing is an area of expertise for me.

Knight Kanda princess, i literally do not talk to anyone unless im bossing them around, attempting to murder them, reading their death messages before theyre murdered, threatening them or doing things of the sort Knight Kanda i doubt it is a good idea

Conman Nea no kanda thats a GREAT idea

Princess Zuki ,,,,does that mean ur going to kill me

Conman Nea: I can tell. Conman Nea: It was... refreshing to be a part of.

Assassin Deak: i'm quite glad~

Assassin Lavi little respectful head dip at the queen Assassin Lavi: Enjoying the evening, Your Highness?

Assassin Deak i'm mean to everyone

Queen Alma: Certainly. However, it's more important that my guests enjoy than myself. Has your time been well?

Princess Zuki sIGHS

Assassin Deak: ;; i 'm gonna have to lay down for a lil bit bc m head is swimming

Messenger Cecil aA Messenger Cecil err Messenger Cecil: Um, m-my apologies, ma'am. It is the clothes that gave it away... Messenger Cecil: These are expensive fabrics...

Princess Zuki sighs again Princess Zuki: i suppose so, but still...

Assassin Lavi: Indeed, my time has been very enjoyable, Your Highness. But should the host not enjoy herself as well? I'm sure I am not the only one who feels as such~ Assassin Lavi just going to throw in a cute little head quirk for good measure

Messenger Cecil looks down understandingly Messenger Cecil: Is this.. Is this your first ball?

Conman Nea how many glasses of wine can i get before this guy cuts me off

Messenger Cecil ne a p ls

Princess Zuki: i don't tend to leave the castle often, i-if at all.

Messenger Cecil nods

Conman Nea the bartender is my new best friend

Queen Alma: Nothing makes me more happy than seeing others enjoying their time. That's the point of a party, after all.

Messenger Cecil: Ah, I see... Well, are you enjoying yourself...?

Queen Alma like a dog, right Queen Alma how a dog tilts its head when its confused

Princess Zuki: um... i-in a sense..?

Assassin Lavi more or less ye

Messenger Cecil s a v a g e

Princess Zuki: it's... different.

Assassin Lavi chuckles a little bit

Messenger Cecil looks at her questioningly Messenger Cecil: How so?

Assassin Lavi: To each their own means of enjoyment. Assassin Lavi: Has there been a favorite part of this party for you so far? Assassin Lavi just gonna casually lean on a wall and chill here for a bit

Princess Zuki: i've mostly been by here the whole time. a-although, earlier, a very nice man taught me some dance moves...! that's about it, though.

Conman Nea time to be obnoxious Conman Nea and sit on the edge of the food table

Princess Zuki ....stares at nea

Messenger Cecil ahh

Queen Alma thoughtful humming

Assassin Lavi get your ass off the table don't be r00d

Conman Nea henlo losers

Messenger Cecil: W-Well, would you like to go for a walk, then? Messenger Cecil also looks up at nea Messenger Cecil blinks

Conman Nea waves

Messenger Cecil: Um, i-is everything okay...?

Conman Nea i like to feel tall

Messenger Cecil at nea

Conman Nea glances around

Assassin Lavi sorry to break it to u but

Conman Nea: ..Yes?

Assassin Lavi ur never gonna match us trees

Queen Alma: Perhaps the assortment of character that has walked through the door? It is interesting to see the various types of people.

Conman Nea he's confused Conman Nea shut up giant

Queen Alma yeah the trees win no offense

Messenger Cecil aw Messenger Cecil furrows his brows in confusion

Assassin Lavi: Indeed. And the masks just make them all the more colorful characters, do they not? Assassin Lavi this is how u bond right

Messenger Cecil: Um, what are you doing on top of that table, i-if I may ask? Messenger Cecil: A table is hardly a place to sit...

Conman Nea: My feet are tired and I like being close to the food.

Messenger Cecil ,,, Messenger Cecil glances around

Conman Nea: Unless you'd like to grab a chair for me?

Queen Alma: Absolutely. Surely there's something about the... secrecy. No one would ever know who someone truly is here, not entirely. Perhaps a guess or two, and maybe a correct guess, but never fully.

Conman Nea swings his legs

Messenger Cecil uh not really but

Queen Alma: Like hiding behind shadowy curtains, perhaps?

Messenger Cecil: Um, s-sure...

Assassin Lavi hums

Conman Nea smiles Conman Nea: You have my thanks.

Messenger Cecil glances at zuki and then , goes to get a chair

Assassin Lavi: Good reason not to hang curtains

Messenger Cecil I cant believ this

Assassin Lavi chuckles a little

Messenger Cecil dips his head back at nea

Conman Nea this is fuck in ggreat Conman Nea what else can i get this guy to do

Messenger Cecil fetches a chair and carries it back Messenger Cecil :I Messenger Cecil don't use m e Messenger Cecil: Here you go, good sir

Conman Nea snaps suddenly Conman Nea: oh, drat, I forgot.

Messenger Cecil wh

Conman Nea looks at cecil with a small frown Conman Nea: I meant to grab another glass of wine before I settled down. Conman Nea: I don't suppose you'd be so kind...?

Queen Alma: That and with the drunkards they'd tear them down on accident.

Messenger Cecil .......

Assassin Lavi now he's really laughing

Queen Alma looks at lavi, curiously tilting her head Queen Alma: Pardon me for the odd question, but there were two of you, correct?

Messenger Cecil: Err, perhaps one of the servants can be of more help to you...

Assassin Lavi: Mayhaps less "on accident" so much as-- Assassin Lavi hmm so she saw them did she

Messenger Cecil glances back at zuki Messenger Cecil he lp

Conman Nea blinks at him Conman Nea eyes widen

Princess Zuki narrows her eyes at nea

Assassin Lavi: I did come with like company, yes.

Conman Nea raises a hand to his mouth Conman Nea: Oh my. Conman Nea: I thought... Conman Nea: Nevermind.

Princess Zuki glances at cecil n then baCK AT NEA

Messenger Cecil: W-What..?

Conman Nea adjusts his collar softly Conman Nea: I thought you were the help.

Assassin Lavi he sighs and shakes his head a little bit

Conman Nea: My sincere apologies.

Messenger Cecil h

Princess Zuki: i believe that role goes to you, sir.

Messenger Cecil sucks in a sharp breath

Princess Zuki OOOOOOOOOO

Assassin Lavi: Must bring along family to these sorts of things, you know? Else you'll never hear the end of it.

Conman Nea blinks at zuki Conman Nea: I beg your pardon?

Princess Zuki: i do not need a face to spy the difference between a commoner and a royal. Princess Zuki: your actions say all. Princess Zuki sips apple juice

Messenger Cecil can I leave now........

Princess Zuki yes u may

Assassin Lavi aHAHAHAHAAA BYE NEA

Queen Alma: I wouldn't know, I have no siblings. However, he'd be your brother then? Surely an event is more enjoyable with family, assuming you get along.

Conman Nea: That's a hefty accusation.

Assassin Lavi getting called out by a teenage shut-in

Conman Nea: And after I was so kind to you, who thought you'd insult me like that.

Queen Alma: hefty hefty hefty ]

Princess Zuki: tell me, where do you hail from?

Messenger Cecil looks between them

Assassin Lavi: omg }

Princess Zuki: { LMAO

Messenger Cecil internally hhhhs

Assassin Lavi: It can and can't be. Assassin Lavi smiles wryly

Conman Nea: A small continent to the east. I hold land there. I'll admit, I may not be the highest of ranks, but an Earl is still leagues above commoner.

Conman Nea lying out his ass

Princess Zuki: does this continent have a name?

Conman Nea: || shit i need a name Conman Nea: || something that'd Actually Exist

Messenger Cecil: ( koongdom

Princess Zuki: { KOONGDOM

Conman Nea flags down a servant for More Wine

Messenger Cecil one glass too many Messenger Cecil wah Messenger Cecil manages to remain more composed

Conman Nea: Anyways. Conman Nea: As I've said. Conman Nea: I apologize for the mixup.

Princess Zuki coUGHS AND CALMS DOWN FU CK THAT WAS FUNN Y

Assassin Lavi: I do not dislike him to any capacity, but siblings can do things which are... tiresome, sometimes.

Princess Zuki: y-you... you are no royal, my dear.

Assassin Lavi: But family is family.

Messenger Cecil mutters,

Princess Zuki: you put me in mind of another royal, but no. Princess Zuki cough cough cross cough cough

Conman Nea glances at zuki

Conman Nea: You've no way of confirming that

Conman Nea taps his mask

Princess Zuki: ....

Queen Alma: Surely. Something cannot only singularly be one thing, and surely not something as changing as a human. It is good to keep family closest to you.

Messenger Cecil: Ma'am, I worry this man may have had a little more to drink than is good for him. Perhaps we should leave...

Princess Zuki takes off her mask OOOOO RULE BREAKER

Messenger Cecil oh shit

Queen Alma: Have you had a drink, Sir... Queen Alma looks thoughtfully at him

Princess Zuki: allow me to introduce myself.

Queen Alma: I don't believe I caught your name?

Messenger Cecil oh shit

Princess Zuki: i am princess zuki, de facto ruler of cicia.

Messenger Cecil welP Messenger Cecil starts back Messenger Cecil I have to go right now immediately

Conman Nea ohh Conman Nea that's who she is Conman Nea: I wouldn't have thought you'd leave your castle with the state your kingdom's in.

Assassin Lavi: I have had a few drinks already, all of excellent taste. My compliments to whoever chooses your wines. And it seems I am popularly "Red" tonight, or so goes the theme with others here tonight who find need of a name.

Princess Zuki slowly puts her mask back on

Messenger Cecil oOOOOOOo Messenger Cecil daMN NEA SAVAGE

Princess Zuki: my advisors did their jobs and told me to attend. Princess Zuki: i did not want to, but they convinced me to.

Messenger Cecil slinks,, away,,,,

Princess Zuki sips apple juice some more tbh Princess Zuki: tell me, would you say the same to queen alma?

Conman Nea raises a brow

Princess Zuki: i can smell her from a mile away.

Messenger Cecil l maO

Princess Zuki BOOM ROASTED

Conman Nea: Of course not

Messenger Cecil is going to leave

Princess Zuki: and why is that?

Queen Alma: Surely you'd divulge more than an alias? Queen Alma wtf is ur real name tho im curious :(

Messenger Cecil accidentally finds himself leaving out of the back door instead of the front door

Assassin Lavi chuckles a bit

Messenger Cecil henlo garden

Conman Nea: I'd have no reason to insult her management-- Her kingdom isn't in shambles.

Assassin Lavi: You're the first who's insisted on it. Assassin Lavi hums

Messenger Cecil oOOOoOOo

Princess Zuki: her kingdom is an untrustworthy cult, prepared for war at the drop of a hat.

Messenger Cecil daMn

Queen Alma im gonNA FIGHT Queen Alma IN TWO SECON ds

Conman Nea sips his wine

Queen Alma wait Queen Alma that just proved the poin t

Conman Nea: They're loyal to their queen and willing to defend her at all costs.

Messenger Cecil lma o

Assassin Lavi pffft

Conman Nea: I envy what she's accomplished here.

Queen Alma thanks nea

Princess Zuki: tell me, sir.

Conman Nea np toots

Queen Alma if i werent a single ruler id offer u the throne

Princess Zuki: where do you truly hail from? Princess Zuki: if it were cicia, you would have killed me by now.

Conman Nea: It's not Cicia, nor this one. Really, my origins are of no interest to you.

Princess Zuki: oh, but they are. Princess Zuki: just how your true identity is as well.

Conman Nea: I'm just a simple Earl who came to enjoy tonight's festivities

Princess Zuki: but yet here you are, conversing with the princess of a falling kingdom.

Conman Nea: by pure chance

Princess Zuki: have you nothing better to do than to waste your time with meaningless banter?

Conman Nea: banter is the point of these gatherings

Queen Alma: How odd. I would have assumed more would wish to know your identity.

Conman Nea: I'm a friendly man Conman Nea: I like making friends.

Princess Zuki siPS APPLE JUICE Princess Zuki: yet here you are, making an enemy.

Conman Nea: I would never have known your origins had you not revealed it to me. Conman Nea raises his hands Conman Nea: I still mean you no ill will, Princess.

Princess Zuki: i do not appreciate liars, mr. Princess Zuki: i did what i believed had to have been done.

Assassin Lavi: Very well. My name is Astor, son of Aestor, Duke of Limlan. Not much of a title considering how far removed from major routes Limlan is, but to some of lower nobility, far removed is preferable. Less political pleasing to do, more getting things practical done. But it helps to see how the higher nobility handle things as well in places more populated such as this.

Queen Alma fuCKiGN LIAr

Assassin Lavi totally lying out his ass lmao

Princess Zuki just kinda. bends down so she's eye to eye with him

Conman Nea stares back Conman Nea he's not cracking

Princess Zuki: a true noble wouldn't be sitting around the food table.

Conman Nea: I told you, I'm not quite a member of 'higher society' Conman Nea: Just a simple Earl.

Princess Zuki ....

Conman Nea: Here to enjoy the luxuries of the Queen

Princess Zuki takes his mask off---

Conman Nea holds it down Conman Nea fuck you Conman Nea my mask

Conman Nea snorts lightly and goes back to his wine

Messenger Cecil I am in garden

Princess Zuki henlo cecil i am coming to see u

Queen Alma: Limlan, hmm? It must truly be far removed, I have never heard of it. I am sure it is a lovely place, surely, if it brings from it your presence. Perhaps with time I will visit. Until then, I hope you enjoy your stay at Aeyusea while it lasts. Queen Alma nea stop drinking

Conman Nea no

Conman Nea scans the crowd

Assassin Lavi: I would be happy to give you the grand tour, though I think you will find Limlan is composed mostly of open countryside. It may be a good change of pace from your usual scenery however.

Princess Zuki: ...you seem nervous. are you sure?

Messenger Cecil h

Princess Zuki sets her apple juice down somewhere idk

Messenger Cecil: Y-Yes, I-- I am certain, ma'am Messenger Cecil: Please don't worry Messenger Cecil 4th wall sweats

Queen Alma so ur drunk is what ur saying

Conman Nea a little

Princess Zuki is just kinda. staring off. the nea thing put her in a bad mood dhfjghg

Queen Alma: I— how much did you drink...? Ah, well, if the wine was to your liking then all is well. No harm will come to you here, worry not.

Messenger Cecil heads,, back inside

Knight Kanda c'mere deak and ill cut u Knight Kanda: Princess, are you feeling alright? What's wrong?

Conman Nea: Just... Just a few glasses. Conman Nea chuckles

Princess Zuki nods and just. forces a smile

Assassin Deak : >

Princess Zuki: i'm fine, i promise.

Assassin Deak inches,, closer,, to,, kanda

Knight Kanda: ...

Conman Nea: I'm glad to hear it, though. Things aren't as stable and safe in some of the other kingdoms these days.

Knight Kanda: If you insist, Princess. You can tell me if something is the matter, though, no matter what it may be. Knight Kanda i f uckking see you

Assassin Deak B')

Assassin Deak OOOOO ARE WE GONNA STAB SOMEONE?

Assassin Lavi ffs Deak I caN'T LEAVE U ALONE FOR 2 SECONDS

Assassin Deak let me have fun Assassin Deak you tolD ME TO HAVE FUN Assassin Deak tO RELAX

Queen Alma: Truly. It is a sad occurrence, and the royalty of certain Kingdoms are... perhaps unfit to take care of the people. I hope it is not the same from where you come from, Sir, that would truly be tragic.

Assassin Deak that's what i'm do in g

Queen Alma im just saying zuki,,, ur kinda,,, unfit to rule in my opinion,,,,,,,,,,

Princess Zuki h e a r s y o u t a l k i n g s h i t

Assassin Lavi dyING DOESN'T COUNT AS RELAXING

Princess Zuki sqUINTS IN THAT DIRECTION

Assassin Deak uh?? yES?? IT DOES???

Queen Alma looks over in zuki's direction briefly

Conman Nea shakes his head softly

Queen Alma i saw u take off ur mask i know who u are

Conman Nea: Worry not, things are well enough where I'm from, though far from perfect.

Assassin Deak hey, Assassin Deak hey, lavi Assassin Deak watch this

Princess Zuki w i l l c u t u

Assassin Lavi nO

Princess Zuki via kanda but

Assassin Deak :3c

Conman Nea: Though I appreciate the concern. It's good to know that your compassion doesn't stop with at the borders of your land.

Assassin Deak ok ok,,

Assassin Lavi BAD

Knight Kanda zuki why would you use me to cut the queen who would declare war instantly

Knight Kanda that is bad planning

Messenger Cecil asdfghjk

Princess Zuki she wont declare war if we kill her,,, Princess Zuki WHO AM I TONIGHT I AM NOT ZUK I

Queen Alma: I'm glad to hear it. We can strive for perfection, but surely not reach it unfortunately. I care for the people of my Kingdom, true, but also those who are affected by negative decisions. People should be safe wherever they are, no matter who rules them. Even those who may be misled in their... methods. Queen Alma very casually looks at zuki one more time before casually looking back at nea

Knight Kanda zuki n o Knight Kanda you're as bad as that stupid shadow guy

Princess Zuki gl A RI N G

Knight Kanda that i was going to kick out of the window

Conman Nea wow this chicks an angel

Messenger Cecil no mercy

Princess Zuki mumbles Princess Zuki: she's looking over here.

Knight Kanda: Who?

Conman Nea: The world needs more people like you. Perhaps then there'd be less fighting.

Princess Zuki: the queen.

Knight Kanda looks over at the queen for a second Knight Kanda: She looks to be talking to that... man?

Princess Zuki: she was looking here. i saw her. Princess Zuki is tired

Conman Nea why you gotta be pausing like that Conman Nea im manly af

Messenger Cecil rip nea

Princess Zuki: ... Princess Zuki: ...we should go. Princess Zuki Is Tired

Messenger Cecil aw

Knight Kanda: ...If that is what you want, then we can leave now.

Queen Alma: You flatter me, sir. There are people better than myself, but what I can do to help I would do without second thought. Enough about me, however. What about yourself? Surely you have stories to share.

Assassin Deak .... :3c

Queen Alma zuki ur really really really a pacifist

Assassin Deak or you could declare war.

Princess Zuki SHHHHJ MEG FUCKED UP TONIGHT

Assassin Deak declare war on each other.

Princess Zuki OLD ZUKI KEEPS POPPING IN N SAYING HEY LIKE THE LIL BITCH SHE I S

Assassin Deak just looks at him blankly and just Assassin Deak points at him Assassin Deak: do i know you?

Queen Alma: I can't say I expected more from a Kingdom's ruler that cannot keep her Kingdom in line, but surely I expected a bit more for her keeping a singular person in line.

Princess Zuki is about to crY Princess Zuki stops Princess Zuki is reALLY about to cry Princess Zuki: ...my apologies, your highness. it will not happen again.

Assassin Deak s n i c k er i n g Assassin Deak lowers his head and murmurs,, Assassin Deak it's pretty unintelligible tho

Queen Alma: Your promises don't hold much when you equate them to the prosperity of your Kingdom, dear.

Princess Zuki u should be thanking me for not having a heart attack right here right now

Queen Alma: You are far too young and far too naive to sway, much like a dandelion compared to a rose. Queen Alma: Your advisers should think better should they have the right head to do so.

Assassin Deak: are you sure i'm... the one in trouble?

Princess Zuki if u look close enough u can see her starting to shake :'))

Assassin Deak kekekekek

Queen Alma sighs Queen Alma: Ruling isn't a job for a wilting child, dear, perhaps you should pass the torch sooner than later and let them try to fix the shambles of your Kingdom.

Princess Zuki: ...y...yes, ma'am. Princess Zuki should let cicia fall like daethen did---

Queen Alma that is literally not what i said Queen Alma: One last thing: Queen Alma: Don't ruin the lives of your people just because your life won't last. That isn't fair to them.

Assassin Deak growls softly @ lavi

Queen Alma: I may not agree with the child's methods of ruling, but at least she has her age as an excuse. Queen Alma sighs Queen Alma you all suck this is why nea's my favorite

Assassin Deak: ...i have no excuses, ma'am. i am very sorry.

Assassin Lavi don't u growl at me I'm not the one who dumped WINE ON THE ANGRIEST KNIGHT HERE

Princess Zuki iS DOING HER BES T

Queen Alma: As you have said many times, sir.

Assassin Deak dips his head,,

Queen Alma: Apologies only fix so much, and words only express a quantifiable amount. See to it that you control yourself in the future.

Assassin Lavi: We shall see to it, your Highness

Queen Alma i have to clean this mess you bitcHES

Assassin Lavi grabs Deak by the ear and marches him away

Assassin Deak: if there is anything- Assassin Deak hHH OWWWW Assassin Deak oW OW OW Assassin Deak oW

Assassin Lavi: SOMEONE is getting a re-introductory course to his ettiquette lessons : /

Assassin Deak h e lpm e

Queen Alma no one here is going to help you

Assassin Deak: ow... ow, ow, ow....

Princess Zuki is still cryin outside tbH

Queen Alma and i actually liked you, 'astor' Queen Alma : ' (

Assassin Deak ,,, Assassin Deak i'm?? sorry for oNCE

Assassin Lavi loOK I WASN'T GOING TO LET MY FAMILY GET KILLED even if they are a dumbass APPARENTLY

Assassin Deak I'M ACTUALLY SORRY FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

Princess Zuki aRE U SORRY TO ME OPR ALMA

Assassin Deak I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M SORRY

Queen Alma i rule a kingdom

Princess Zuki i do too

Queen Alma sorry doesnt do much

Princess Zuki but im also dying of heart disease n desperately searching for someone to take the throne before i die

Queen Alma do you know how many murderers come in and go 'im sorry'? Queen Alma do you expect me to forgive everyone who says im sorry Queen Alma do you thinking ruling a kingdom is that easy? Queen Alma because if you do, i hope to every god that you don't rule a kingdom Queen Alma : /

Princess Zuki ....ma'am you're one to talk because your kingdom just loves you oh-so much you don't have to do anything

Assassin Deak ,,,

Queen Alma why do you think my kingdom loves me, princess Queen Alma please explain

Princess Zuki you have them all fooled with your cult

Queen Alma what cult do you keep talking abOUT

Princess Zuki i try to give my people peace and hope, but apparently not declaring war on daethen is a crime in and of itself Princess Zuki thE BULLSHIT PROPHECY STUFF

Queen Alma you come into my kingdom Queen Alma insult the religion we believe in Queen Alma and then question why my kingdom runs smoothly Queen Alma whereas yours doesnt

Princess Zuki you insult my beliefs i insult yours

Assassin Deak o damn

Princess Zuki mine doesn't because GOD FORBID I DON'T START A WAR

Assassin Deak FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Queen Alma i insulted your method of ruling Queen Alma not your beliefs

Princess Zuki i believe in peace for all Princess Zuki you believe in survival of the fittest

Queen Alma if you cannot make sacrifices for the good of your people, you are unfit to rule

Assassin Lavi hey Zuki how much would u pay us for silence : )

Princess Zuki what sacrifices are to be made? we are not in danger. we never have been and the people are angry over nothing

Queen Alma youre naive, you believe in this idea of 'peace for all', but that doesn't exist Queen Alma and thats why your kingdom is dying

Assassin Deak : )

Princess Zuki it DOES exist. anything exists, just like your piss-poor excuse for a unicorn

Queen Alma how is my unicorn a piss-poor excuse for a unicorn Queen Alma if it is a unicorn Queen Alma ,,,,thats a logical error

Assassin Lavi fallacy

Princess Zuki my kingdom is dying because my people refuse to accept me as their leader, even though i have put everything on the line for their sake. i refuse to let any harm befall my people Princess Zuki my kingdom will be peaceful, even if it takes my death to change it. we are not fighters; we are defenders

Queen Alma you defend from nothing if you fight for nothing

Princess Zuki we have nothing to fight for Princess Zuki these people have everything. what else is left to give?

Queen Alma if they had everything, they wouldnt be revolting Queen Alma so evidently they dont have everything

Princess Zuki i'd be able to do something about it if they would give me an answer besides some petty revenge spew

Queen Alma you refuse to take and so they refuse to give

Princess Zuki take???

Queen Alma take from others what they want — their revenge for something they loved

Assassin Lavi u people and ur politics

Queen Alma arent you busy schooling your family member

Assassin Lavi nah I got one better Assassin Lavi my gramps schooling my family member :3

Knight Doug slowly takes a step back before looking for another opportunity to attack

Princess Zuki

Assassin Deak leans back against the wall and just watches

Princess Zuki: { going to bed Princess Zuki left the chat

Pegasus Knight Lena what kind of knight fen ce s

Knight Doug i learned that way

Pegasus Knight Lena what a twig

Knight Doug are you going to attack back? Knight Doug or are you just going to trash talk?

Pegasus Knight Lena i feel like trash talking

Knight Doug >:I

Pegasus Knight Lena and seeing if you're ever gonna do something useful w/ that stick you call a sword

Knight Doug spins before delivering a blow hopefully to her leg

Pegasus Knight Lena wHY DID YOU SPin doUG

Knight Doug bECAUSE IT TECHNICALLY HELPS Knight Doug IT PUTS MORE POWER INTO THE BLOW

Pegasus Knight Lena and makes you more vulnerable to miss and get hit back if you do miss Pegasus Knight Lena thats predictable bc u have 2 spin which takes more moving

Knight Doug good job pointing that out Knight Doug now fight me

Pegasus Knight Lena cant u see im busy criticizing

Knight Doug s TOP AND FIGHT ME

Pegasus Knight Lena moves backwards to avoid the swipe before swinging back at him bitch u gotta use brute force not some twig

Knight Doug o k Knight Doug ge ts hit and grips the wound with a hiss Knight Doug glares at her before moving back, trying to calculate another attack Knight Doug o i was wrong about that, oops Knight Doug haha silly isa,,, spinning reduces power

Pegasus Knight Lena moves forward and swings the sword down at him

Knight Doug pARRIES!! Knight Doug takes a step back and huffs

Pegasus Knight Lena hOW THE FUCK DID U PARRY WITH UR STUPID TWIG

Assassin Deak: just kick his ass already!

Pegasus Knight Lena steps backwards ow i was poked by a twig Pegasus Knight Lena v injure

Assassin Deak: kick his ass!

Pegasus Knight Lena ur stupid baby sword cant puncture armor smh Pegasus Knight Lena these r the medieval times not the french revolution loSEr

Knight Doug takes another swing at her legs >:I

Assassin Deak this is almost painful

Pegasus Knight Lena moves back again for a second before stepping forward when the movement is completed, swinging the broadsword in a left arc

Assassin Deak is tempted to just Assassin Deak draw his dagger and end doug himself

Pegasus Knight Lena chILL DEAK Pegasus Knight Lena WHAT IS WROng

Assassin Deak >:IIIII

Knight Doug uM?!?! Knight Doug t ak e s the hi t Knight Doug because he's a man not a wimp Knight Doug has two bleeding gashes now but

Pegasus Knight Lena no thats bc ur stupid

Knight Doug he isn't gonna give up

Pegasus Knight Lena being a man is knowing how to step back out of the general area of being hurt

Knight Doug will you like Knight Doug leave me alone? Knight Doug let me live while i still can??

Pegasus Knight Lena you agreed to fight, so no

Knight Doug bc i'm probably going to die before the end of this au Knight Doug isa changed his mind

Pegasus Knight Lena brings the sword up and swings it down towards doug since he isnt moVING

Knight Doug parries again, panting just a bit Knight Doug ok are you wearing any like face gear or

Pegasus Knight Lena you mean like a helmet

Knight Doug yeah Knight Doug that thing Knight Doug isa's tired ok

Pegasus Knight Lena not one that's covering my face, just the sides and back of my head

Knight Doug : > Knight Doug takes swing at her face, hopefully to cut across her cheek and to her lips Knight Doug : >

Pegasus Knight Lena nOT COOL

Knight Doug THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING MY SWORD A TWIG

Pegasus Knight Lena gets cut and steps back

Knight Doug quickly steps back afterward

Pegasus Knight Lena: It still cuts like a twig.

Knight Doug hums Knight Doug: perhaps you'd like another cut.

Pegasus Knight Lena: Perhaps you'd like to find a better sword.

Knight Doug: have you perhaps got one i can borrow? Knight Doug: i was not expecting a fight.

Pegasus Knight Lena: Unfortunately I'm lacking a spare at the moment.

Knight Doug: ah. Knight Doug: that's quite alright. Knight Doug: perhaps we should wait until i have a better weapon since this is unfair?

Pegasus Knight Lena: Is it unfair if that's the weapon you choose? Pegasus Knight Lena: Should a Knight not be prepared at all times to be good?

Knight Doug: like i said... i was not expecting a fight. i came as a messenger.

Pegasus Knight Lena scoffs Pegasus Knight Lena: A knight being a messenger surely sends a message.

Knight Doug hums Knight Doug: with a king like cross, i think you would understand.

Pegasus Knight Lena sheathes her sword and shakes her head Pegasus Knight Lena: A pity to have a King like that.

Knight Doug takes a deep breath before sheathing his sword as well Knight Doug: ...he means well.

Pegasus Knight Lena: Sure, if not he would have been overthrown long ago.

Knight Doug: i will not argue. Knight Doug: i see no point in it. Knight Doug: ...it has been nice to see you, though... old friend. Knight Doug smiles and turns to walk back to get himself some wine and patch himself up

Pegasus Knight Lena: OooOOo o ] Pegasus Knight Lena: in te n se p ain ]

Knight Doug: ;; l aUGHS AND CRI E S

Assassin Deak: ... Assassin Deak: you... Assassin Deak: you know him?

Pegasus Knight Lena scoffs and wipes at her face Pegasus Knight Lena: No.

Assassin Deak hums,, Assassin Deak: why did he call you old friend then? Assassin Deak tilts his head Assassin Deak: there must be some sort of connection between you and him.

Pegasus Knight Lena: You ask a lot of questions, don't you? Pegasus Knight Lena: I haven't the slightest idea, though.

Assassin Deak: i suppose i do. Assassin Deak: i'm a very curious man.

Pegasus Knight Lena: Curiosity killed the cat.

Assassin Deak g r i n s Assassin Deak: true. Assassin Deak: good thing the cat has nine lives.

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 17

*insert witty description here*

Arthur: "...We could ask tomorrow? After you get some sleep." tamaki: ......... Arthur: "...I could set up a bed for you in the closet...but I think we'll have to tell Shinra." tamaki:.....fine..... Arthur: "..." (crawls under, hugs her) tamaki: !! Arthur: "I'm sorry for what has happened." tamaki:.......... Arthur: "...Is there anything I can do?" tamaki: can i wait here till morning? Arthur: (nods) "We don't have to tell Obi or Hibana until tomorrow..." tamaki:....thanks..... Arthur: "..." (holds her) shinra: well, we didnt find her.... Arthur: o_o shinra:....arthur? Arthur: "Nothing!" (gets up to fast--and hits his head on the bottom of the bed) "Owie!" Shinra: ??? Arthur: (rubs the back of his head) "So, um, no sign of Tamaki?" (edges to the door to lock it) shinra: you ok? Arthur: "S-Sure. Just...Can you keep a secret?" shinra:.........dude. it you're like that, then i have no problem with it, but you really arent my type. tamaki:............*nosebleed* Arthur: -_-; "Not that...In fact, the opposite. Very much the opposite. Totally, heterosexually the opposite." shinra:......sure dude. but just know we accept you, ok? Arthur: (clenched teeth) "Thank you." (clears throat) "I know where Tamaki is. But you can't tell anyone." shinra: seriously? Arthur: (nods) "But we can't tell anyone, not until tomorrow when we ask Obi and Hibana for help." shinra:.....ok. Arthur: "Because Burns has been making things hell there in the 1st, and she is going to ask about transferring here." shinra: seriously? Arthur: "Yeah. Don't you think Obi would be up for letting her transfer?" shinra: hmmmm.....well, i'm sure he'd be open to it....but burns on the other hand.... Arthur: "Well, Hibana is kind of terrifying--maybe she could scare Burns?" shinra: i dont think he scares easily... Arthur: "Hibana is pretty scary." (smirks) "Especially without her makeup..." shinra: or that green stuff. *shudders* Arthur: "See?! I was right! Women look all weird when--" (freezes) "Um...I shouldn't be talking badly about women...not when...when..." shinra: when there are 5 girls here and any of them could kill us painfully? well....except nozomi. she seems harmless. Arthur: "...Six girls." shinra: ???................................. Arthur: (sighs) "Come on out...Tamaki." tamaki: hey. shinra: *JAW DROPS* Arthur: "J-Just, don't say anything, okay? Keep calm, Shinra--" -THUD- -he passed out- Arthur: "...I hope no one heard him collapse." tamaki: get him in here! Arthur: "In where?" tamaki: in the room, dummy! Arthur: (checks outside) "No one in the hallway..." (pulls Shinra further away from the door, shuts it again, locks it twice) "...Now what?" -tamaki has placed him on the bed- shinra:....m-mom..... Arthur: "...Poor guy..." tamaki:...... Arthur: "Let him sleep it off...Can I get you water, Tamaki? Milk?" tamaki: im good. Arthur: "...Set up your bed in the closet?" tamaki: ok. *Arthur lays out a sleeping bag with cushioning underneath, as well as a pillow and sheets* tamaki: thanks. *she places her bag to the side* Arthur: "How's that? Good enough?" tamaki: it'll work. Arthur: "...Need pajamas?" tamaki: i didnt bring any..... Arthur: "O-Okay, you can borrow a pair of mine..." -in the morning- Arthur: *yawn* shinra: *yaaaawns* Arthur: "Oh, good, you're up..." shinra: oh.....hey....i had the craziest dream last night. Arthur: ._.; "R-Really?" shinra: i was attacked by a cat monster and my mom brought be back to safety... Arthur: "...Oh. 'Cat monster'?" shinra: yeah, and it was pretty angry. Arthur: "Uh, dude? Cool it on the 'angry cat monster' talk..." tamaki: screw you too. shinra:...... uhhhhhh......... Arthur: ^_^; "So...Can I keep her?" shinra: *sweats and looks away* Arthur: (still staring at Tamaki...nosebleed) -SMACK SLAP- shinra: ow.... Arthur: (nosebleeding, now for other reasons) "I-I didn't realize you had kitty paw-print panties..." tamaki: shut up. Arthur: "...Well, um, I guess Shinra and I could make it up to you by standing in our undies?" (gets up, starts taking off his pants) shinra: w-wait! tamaki: take his off too. *Arthur rips off his pants* Arthur: "Done!" shinra: i want no part in this! *Arthur, tugging on Shinra's pants* Arthur: "Come on, Shinra! We already saw hers!" shinra: w-wait no!! ???: *knocking on door* "Keep it down in there!" tamaki: O_O;;;;;;; Arthur: (ripped pants off Shinra) "W-What?" *Door knocked down* Takehisa: "Quiet! Some of us are sleep--" *Takehisa sees only Arthur and Shinra, pantsless* shinra:............................................................................... Takehisa: "..." tamaki: *under the bed* *sweats* shinra: *covers himself* NOOOO DONT LOOK! Takehisa: "...Keep down your loud pants-pulling antics. Breakfast is in 10 minutes." Arthur: "Y-Yes, sir!" Hibana: (walking by) "Nice undies, Shinra~" shinra: ./////////////////////////////. iris: *covering her eyes, not daring to peek* eep. Arthur: .\\\\\\\. "Could someone please replace our door?" Hibana: (pulling up Iris's hands) "Enjoy the show, Sister." iris: s-sister stop! >///////////< Hibana: (lets go) "Fine." Arthur: "Just leave us alone! We'll get dressed after we shower!" ("...'Shower'? Oh, God, how is Tamaki going to--?") -at breakfast- Arthur: "..." shinra: Q.Q Akitaru: "You boys need to keep down your play in your room. If you want to play slap-happy fun, okay, but keep it down." maki: sooooooo.....what all went down? Arthur: "N-Not that!" maki: *innocent whistling* nozomi: ????? Arthur: (grumbling...as he slips muffin and other food into his pockets) shinra:..... Takehisa: "I think we should replace the sound-proofing in the walls." shinra: .//////.;;;;; Akitaru: "I'll put it in the budget." Hibana: "Hmm...I'll miss hearing those sounds." (smirks) shinra: Q////Q Arthur: (stands up) "Okay, this joke is officially burnt up! Can we please move on!" (a muffin falls out of his pants' leg) Akitaru: "..." (stares at the muffin on the floor, then up at Arthur's crotch) iris: COMMANDER! D : Akitaru: "Why did a muffin fall out of your pants, Boyle?" Takehisa: "Obviously, he's not chewing enough." iris:............................. -_-; Arthur: "...I have to go now." (runs back to his room, opens the door, shuts it behind him, panting) tamaki: well then.... Arthur: o_o tamaki: you ok? Arthur: "Y-Yeah...Just an experience at breakfast." (gulps) "You look...great." tamaki: thanks. Arthur: (hands her small box of cereal, carton of orange juice, an apple, some bread and a closed small container of jelly, some yogurt--all sealed, none from his pants but from his pockets) tamaki: thanks. Arthur: "...W-Why were you in your underwear this morning if I gave you PJs?" tamaki: >->c-can we talk about something else? Arthur: "O-Okay...H-How is the temperature? Too hot? Too cold? Too average?" -elsewhere- Kid: *yawn* stocking: morning babe~ Kid: (smiles) "Morning, Angel." *smooch on the nose* stocking: hehe~ Kid: "Sleep well?" stocking: yeah. Kid: (pats her hip) "Shower and dress?" stocking: sounds good. Kid: "Want some company?~" stocking: i could be convinced~ Kid: (kisses her shoulder, massages her hip) stocking: ah~ Kid: "Convincing, yes?" (kisses her neck) stocking: indeed~ Kid: (places a hand along her right breast) "Shall we enter the shower?" -later- Kid: (smiles contently) stocking: ahhhh, that felt so good. Kid: (chuckles) "We were supposed to be getting clean, but that felt so dirty..." stocking: yeah, haha. Kid: (kisses her cheek) "Thank you." -at school- Arthur: ._____.; shinra:............... iris: you two are awfully quiet... Arthur: "NOTHING IS WRONG!" shinra: *silent* Arthur: "..." (pulls out phone, starts texting) [TaMeowKi: oh hey, whats up?] [ShiningKnight: how is everything on your end?] [TaMeowKi: doing well. the snacks should hold over till you guys get back. had a close call with gabs tho] [ShiningKnight: why was gab going in my room?] [TaMeowKi: she wasnt, but i did need- NVMND] [ShiningKnight: okay...?] -elsewhere- Akitaru: (thumbing through paperwork) "Still no sign of Tamaki, Gabriella?" gabriella: sadly no. i hope she's ok... Akitaru: "..." (leans back) "You ever talk with Leo Burns?" gabriella: not really. Akitaru: "He is one intense dude. Officially, Tamaki has violated protocol and has to be punished. Personally, I completely get her reasons for running away..." (glances at a photo on his desk) gabriella: *she looks at the photo* *It's of a woman and a child* gabriella:.............. i guess i can understand as well.... Akitaru: "...How long you been working with Hibana?" gabriella: about two and a half years, before that, my life.....it wasnt that great. Akitaru: "...Yeah." (stands up, stretches) "Hibana isn't that bad. Glad she has your back." gabriella: *she smiles* she gave me purpose in life, and i'll always be grateful for that. Akitaru: "..." (smiles pats her shoulder) "She's lucky to have you." -elsewhere- Yumi: "Just a few more months." lord death: *squeeee* Yumi: (chuckles) "Yes, I'm excited too." (kisses his cheek) lord death: *nuzzles her stomach* Yumi: (smiles, blushing a bit) "A lot of work is before us..." lord death: indeed.... Yumi: "You know what I want after she is born?" lord death: what? Yumi: "Aside from giving all the love in the world we can to our kids?" (traces finger along Death's chest) "I have ideas." lord death: ...... o/////////////////////o Yumi: "You have ideas right now, too?~" -elsewhere- Killbell: "When does the baby come out of the Snake Witch?" milia: *shrug* Ponera: "How many months are you, Medusa?" (knitting baby clothes) medusa: 4 months now. Ponera: "You are glowing! You look far cuter rather than menacing now!" shaula: and a whooole lot fatter. medusa: fuck you shaula. Ponera: "Shaula, be kind. The baby needs that extra weight to survive!" shaula: >3> Ponera: "???" -elsewhere- Patty: "Hey, Iris! Do you have a moment?" iris: hmm? sure, what is it? Patty: "Shinra and Cutie-Patootie Arthur seemed a little on edge today. What's up with them?" iris: i dont know. but i am worried. perhaps i could ask them? Patty: "Yeah, I would say so. Need any help?" iris: dont worry, i'll handle it. Patty: "Good luck!" (pat on the back) Arthur: "Oh, Iris, it's good to s--" (freezes, gasps at seeing Patty) "Oh no! -after school- Arthur: "..." shinra: do we tell them or what? Arthur: "L-Let's try Commander Obi alone...Maybe see him in his office?" shinra: sounds good.... *They approach his office and knock* Akitaru: "Come in!" shinra: hey commander. Akitaru: "Howdy! What's up?" shinra: ..... *nudges arthur* Arthur: "Tamaki!" Akitaru: "...Um...Arthur, I know you're worried about her, but trust me, I'm sure she is safe. Right, Shinra?" shinra: she's definitely safe. Arthur: "...And closer than you think..." Akitaru: "...No. No. Guys, no. No. Please tell me 'no.'" shinra:..... *nervous smile+sweats* Arthur: "...Sorry." Akitaru: "..." (stands up, goes to wall--and taps his forehead against it) "Burns is going to kill me." shinra:....... Akitaru: "What were you two thinking?!" shinra: arthur was the one who let her in. Arthur: "Sh-She had been locked up for weeks! She wants to transfer! She can't stand Burns! Sir, please! You have to help her!" Akitaru: "...She in your room? Take me there." shinra:...... *They arrive at the door* Arthur: "..." (does a complicated knock as code to Tamaki) tamaki: ye-....!!!! Akitaru: (eyebrow raise) Arthur: "H-Hi?" tamaki: *she jumps back with claws* just stay back! Akitaru: (steps back) "Easy. Just here to talk." tamaki:............ Akitaru: "...Why did you leave the 1st, Soldier?" tamaki:........... Akitaru: "...Burns, huh?" -perhaps talking to her as a person than a soldier might help? she seems upset- Akitaru: "...Tamaki, do you know why I came to the 8th?" tamaki:.....didnt you start this branch? Akitaru: "Yeah. And do you know how many times I wanted to run away from it?" Arthur: "?!" tamaki:.............. Akitaru: "I wanted to run from being a firefighter, run from being commander here...run from my responsibilities." (pulls out a piece of paper) "Read this." tamaki:..... *she looks at it* *APPLICATION TO THE 8TH BRIGADE* tamaki:.........i-i'll consider it..... Akitaru: "Please do. An adult doesn't run away from their responsibilities..." (smiles) "...but sometimes you just adjust how you address those responsibilities." tamaki:....do you mind if i stay here a while? Akitaru: "Sure thing! So, you've been sleeping in Arthur's bed?" tamaki: i've been in the closet! shinra: in a sleeping bag. Akitaru: "Okay, okay!" (laughs) "But I think we better let the others know--and swear them to an oath of secrecy." Arthur: o\\\\\o shinra: sounds good. tamaki: please dont let burns or the others know i'm here... *The meeting begins* Hibana: "...Are you fucking kidding me?" maki: awww, how sweet. Takahisa: "...I'm telling Burns." (stands up) Akitaru: "?!" Hibana: > : ( *Who will stop Takahisa?* iris: wait! Takahisa: "???" nozomi: cant you see she's been put through enough, where's your sympathy?! Takehisa: "We have rules. Rules are meant to be followed." Hibana: (eyeroll) nozomi: but what's more important, rules or morality? isnt it our job to help people in need? Takehisa: "Hmph. I fail to see the problem of Burns's conduct. When I was a child I--" (pauses, thinks...eyes get wet, shivers) "N-Nevermind. She can stay. Temporarily. A week at most. Maybe a month." maki:...... tamaki: thanks, i want to stay here at least until things cool down at the 1st. Takehisa: "S-So we're in agreement? Good."

Death the Kid: Akitaru: "Make it official. Show of hands to keep Tamaki's presence here a secret?" Arthur: (raises his hand) Takehisa: (trembling as he raises his) Hibana: (raises hers--and pulls up Gab's) maki: yep. iris: of course. shinra: i'm in. nozomi:... yes. Akitaru: (raises his) "Just leaves you..." (looks at Tamaki) tamaki:.... *she nods* yeah. Akitaru: "Great! Now, let's move you out of your love shack with Arthur and Shinra and into another room." tamaki: oh shush.... nozomi: she could stay in my room for now. Akitaru: "Super! Tamaki, need help moving?" tamaki: i can fit most of my stuff into my bag, so i think i can manage. Akitaru: "Okay, then. Well, get moved, and we'll get to making dinner. What do you like?" -later- Arthur: "H-How do you feel about all of this?" tamaki: a lot better. at least i dont have to sneak around anymore... but if anyone comes at the door, i'll have to hide. Arthur: (nods, takes her hand) "We're not giving up on you, Tamaki." tamaki:.....thanks. Arthur: "..." (leans closer) tamaki: ah.... Arthur: "Would you...I mean could I...k-ki-kiss you?" tamaki: .//////////. Arthur: (pulls back) "S-Sorry. We don't h-h-have to." tamaki: it's fine. Arthur: "..." (keeps holding her hand) -elsewhere- Kid: (whistling) stocking: surprise.....HUG ATTACK!~<3 Kid: "Ah!"

Solence: "...I-I've seen the kind of 'research' you do..." ???: besides, we cant have this going public, now can we~? Solence: "...You're going to kill me, aren't you?" ???: oh no no no, you're too valuable an asset to just kill off. Solence: "No one is making me feel like I'm not going to die! What do you want with me?!!" -elsewhere- Wes: "I had a good time, Liz." liz: me too. Wes: "I-I had something else I wanted to give you..." liz: oh? Wes: (removes a small box to hand to her) "I thought these would look nice...If not, no worries..." liz: *blush* *Inside are small silver earrings* liz: aw wes, these are so nice, thanks.

Wes: "Well, we're here...See you tomorrow?" liz: sure thing. Wes: "..."

Kid: "Agreed..." (chuckles) "We're only getting better." stocking: *she smiles* i see you've been taking lessons from those books i lent you~<3 Kid: (pats her bottom, then massages it) "It's been informative. Wouldn't you say so?" stocking: indeed. hehe~ Kid: (puts his arms around her, drawing her nearer as he faces her) "How many years has it been since our first date?" stocking: about 2-3? Kid: (blushes a bit) "I-I remember being so nervous during our first time." stocking: i do too. Kid: "..." (holds her hand, rubs it) "Thank you for your patience with me." (brings her hand to his lips for a gentle kiss) stocking: *she kisses him too* Kid: (hugs her) "Stocking, you feel so warm." stocking: mmmmm~ Kid: (kisses her lips softly) -the next day- Kid: (finishing waffles) "How many do you all want?" -at school- Arthur: (tapping his finger on the desk) justin: and that concludes today's lesson.

Security is tighter here than I thought." ??: how so? Kepuri: "Whoever they have in their IT department here keeps adjusting the parameters each time. My brain is struggling just to keep up." (sips on coffee) "Ugh, tension headache." ??: oh really? Kepuri: "Yeah, really. But I have an idea. It just means getting an interview with DWMA IT." -elsewhere- Yumi: (staring at a letter, sweating) "Oh no..." lord death: is everything ok? Yumi: "I-I don't know. It's from someone claiming to be family..." lord death: ?? Yumi: "..." (hands the letter to Death) "Try to find out who is sending this..." lord death: of course. *he kisses her forehead* Yumi: (holds him, shivering) -meanwhile- Patty: "Well, classes are done! Where to?" stocking: how about the mall? Kid: "More holiday shopping would help. Liz, will you be joining us?" liz: *she nods* *At the mall* Kid: (passes by one shop...blushes a bit) stocking: ?? Kid: "S-So, maybe we should venture over there!" (points in the direction *away from the lingerie store*) stocking: ok. Kid: ("Thank goodness I already finished shopping there..." points to record store) "I think Mother could use some new songs for Christmas." -elsewhere- Shotaro: "Mana, Yohei told me we're doing Dokeshi hide and seek throughout Death City this weekend. Where should I hide?" mana: *whispers* Shotaro: "Oooooooh! Good one! Thanks!" -later- Patty: (sipping on her drink) "Any plans for you happy couples this weekend?" stocking: perhaps we could do a double date? Kid: (smiles) "I'd like that. Liz?" liz: i'll ask. Kid: (smiles) "Maybe go to a club?" stocking: sounds fun. Kid: "Any recommendations, Liz?" liz: i know this really cool place called 'the tomb' Kid: "Oh, rather gothic, I take it?" liz: i guess. stocking: ooooh. *shiny eyes* Kid: (chuckles) "I think that's three for the Tomb. And given Wes's time around ghosts, I doubt he'll turn down this opportunity to see Death Children activities in person." -and so- Yohei: "Hmmm...I do have two faint blips in Death City. Mana, you sure Shotaro hid like I told him to?" mana: *she nods* Yohei: "Hmmm...This signal is closer, so I'll follow it. You coming or have somewhere else to be?" mana: *she follows* Yohei: "Hmmm..." *Yohei and Mana follow the signal down a few streets until arriving at...* Yohei: "...You have to be kidding me." -there is a playground, where aimi is playing- Yohei: (checks his Dokeshi Watch) "Hmmm...Wonder whether Shotaro or Chie are actually here. Or we got another Dokeshi around here." aimi: ~? ah! big bro yohei! *hugs his leg* Yohei: (blushing) "H-Hey, kiddo...Um, how are you?" aimi: good. i'm in a new school now and made lots of new friends. Yohei: "That's good. You've been behaving in school?" aimi: *she nods* Yohei: (pats her head) "Good. Hey, have you seen that girl I was with when we first met you and your father?" aimi: hmmmm.....no. just big sis minori. she's not really my sister, she's just looking after me while daddy's at work. Yohei: "Okay. Well, at least this watch found you. I guess that's something." aimi: woooow. -elsewhere- Arthur: (smiles) tamaki: mmmm~ thanks for the lunch. Arthur: "You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it." maki: how do you like the octo sausages? tamaki:...cute i guess. 7///7 Arthur: *awkward cough* "So...um, anything we else we can do for you?" tamaki: i'm good for now. i should learn to make better bentos. iris: Q.Q shinra: *pats her back* Arthur: "You okay, Iris?" iris: *nod* -iris is sad because she almost burnt the whole kitchen to a crisp- Arthur: "...Maybe we can cook with you, Iris?" iris: i-i appreciate it. ^^ Arthur: (smiles) "Hey, Tamaki, how are your cooking skills?" tamaki: i can cook....to an extent..... i can use a microwave and make small snacks. Takehisa: (eyeglasses shine) "Then perhaps I need to teach you all how to actually cook..." (sinister grin) everyone: *sweats* Arthur: "...Oh, look at the time! Tamaki and I have a thing!" (grabs her hand, runs) shinra: 0-0; Takehisa: "...Well, I'll just have to take on other students..." (stares at Shinra) -meanwhile- Black Star: (high-pitched scream) soul: dude, whats wrong?!

Yohei: "He's close, Mana..." mana: hmm? oh, hey it's those two other guys from the tournament. soul: hey we have names you know. Yohei: "Oh, hey, Soul." Black Star: (fuming that Yohei and Mana don't know his name) mana: oh yeah, you're 'Hei-Xing' right? Black Star: (frowns) "Black Star. Just Black Star, regardless what language it's in." (smiles, then poses) "And I see that in any language, I am still a phenomenon whose name transcends all tongue!" (bishi sparkle) mana: -_-; Yohei: "Yeah, great." (glances at the dumpster) "So, Mana, I'm betting on it being Shotaro in that dumpster, not Chie." mana: *whistling* Shotaro: (from the dumpster) "There's no one in this dumpster. Not at all." Yohei: "..." (looks at Mana's soft drink--snatches it, opens the dumpster, dumps its contents into the dumpster) Shotaro: "Hey!" mana: D : < Shotaro: (emerges) "Darn...I thought this was a great hiding place." (looks at Soul, then at Yohei) "Wait, Yohei, since when did you have a brother?" mana: this is the guy from the tournament, soul. soul: hey. Shotaro: "Oooooh..." (looks at Black Star) "So...you like comics?" Black Star: "...Charisma Justice?" Shotaro: "Hell yeah! Justice Blade!" *Black Star and Shotaro start a Justice Blade dance-off* soul: *sweatdrop* -elsewhere- Patty: (holds up a dress for Liz) "How 'bout this one?" liz: it's nice, but it seems a bit too.....er....flashy. Patty: "What, you don't like something bright and shiny and showing off your goods?" liz: ehhh.... (thinking: i may as well be showing up in my underwear in that!) Patty: "Hmm..." (holds up something more modest but sleeveless) "And you could pair it with that cute jacket..." liz: that could work. *she smiles* Patty: (serious face) "How are things with Wes?" liz: doing pretty good. i think soul's been doing a lot better too. Patty: "That's good...You like Wes?" liz: of course i do. Patty: "...You two say you love each other?" liz: ./////////////////////. Patty: "Guess not." (pats her head) "All in good time, Lizzie." -and so, the day of the double date arrived- Kid: "You look gorgeous, Love." stocking: thanks. it was nice of patti to lend me something. Kid: (nods) "Looks great!" Wes: "Y-You look great, too, Liz. I like the jacket." liz: thanks ^^ Wes: "S-So, shall we go inside?" -they enter- stocking: woooow! Kid: "Ha ha ha!" Wes: o___o "This is...busy." liz: o-o Kid: (shouting over music) "Shall we get a drink or dance?" stocking: how about a few drinks? Wes: (struggling to shout) "Sounds good! Um, Liz? Is that good?" liz: *she nods* -a few patrons are dressed in gothic attire, one male has white face paint with dark eyes and 5 lines down his lips and chin- Kid: "What will you have, Stocking?" stocking: hmmmm... i think i'll have the bat wing special. Wes: "Oh, what's that one like?" -so they order their drinks- Wes: (sips) "Hmm...That's actually good." liz: not bad. Kid: (nods) "So, Liz, how many months have you two been dating now?" liz: well, i guess about.... since this august? Wes: (smiles) "I guess we'll be celebrating a four-month anniversary, then?" liz: i suppose. hehe. Wes: "What is best for that anniversary?" (Smirks) "Paper anniversary? Or jump straight to diamonds?" -elsewhere- Yohei: "Ugh...Mana, get Shotaro home...and give him a bath." mana: sure thing. -_-; chie: ^^; Shotaro: "Can it at least be a bubble bath? With toy dinosaurs?!" Yohei: (smiles at Chie) "Kids." chie: *she smiles* they sure are. Yohei: "...So..." chie: ?? Yohei: "Um...You hungry? Thirsty?" chie: i'm good for now. Yohei: "...When Mana's done with Shotaro, do you need a bath? ... I mean, not Mana giving you a bath. Or that you smell or anything. Just, do you need..." (pauses, deadpan) "Can I start over?" chie: i'll be good with a shower ^^; Yohei: "...Okay. I'll take one, too." -later- Kid: (yelling over music) "Want to dance?" Wes: (has had two glasses of Bat Juice, spaced out, smiles at Liz) "Thanks for bringing me here." -at the 1st HQ- ???: i think it went down here...hmm? the cellar?.....i know the nuns arent allowed down there but....*sigh* if he doesnt see he wont know, right? ???: "..." ???: *she looks around* no sign of him... ???: "Gah..." ???: *inhales* ok, you can do this ruby. just step down eeeeasy now- ????: SISTER RUBY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ruby: WACK! *she jumps back* ???: "..." ruby: ah! s-sister dia! it's just you. dia: *she tugs ruby's ear* you know we arent supposed to go down there, only those with the clarification are allowed in that cellar. ruby: i know, but the guys lost their soccer ball down there. ???: (clawing) dia: ....i'll ask one of the three fathers to retrive it, they have proper clearance. ruby: ok then. -another sister, with short purple hair and blinding bangs, overhears- ????: ......... ???: "Help..." ruby: ?? are you ok? dia: dont bother. it's not our business.... ???: "Please...Stop..." ruby:..... dia: come now, we shouldnt dawdle around here. pearl you come too. pearl: *the purple haired girl* ah! r-right..... -at the 8th- Arthur: (pats Tamaki's shoulder) tamaki: *playing cards with the girls* nyeah?

Arthur: "Hmmm...Maybe the next move regarding what happened at the 5th?" shinra: maybe.... iris: hmmm.... *puts a hand on her cheek where her scar is* tamaki: .... !! woah, where did you get that? iris:.................... shinra: it's.....a long story. Arthur: "..." Hibana: (heard in Akitaru's office) "Hmph." shinra:...... *he presses his ear against the door* Akitaru: "Look, Princess--" Hibana: (slams hand on desk) "You big ape!" shinra:...... *listening* Akitaru: "I told you not to call me that!" Hibana: "Could say the same to you! What part of 'not a good idea' will you not hear?!" shinra: ??? (thinking: _what's_ not a good idea?) Akitaru: (sighs) "Look...J-Just give it some thought. It may help us to finally--" Hibana: "Fine!" (pushes the door open) shinra: *knocked to the floor* ow....ok.... that hurt. iris: ah!! Hibana: "?! What the hell?!" shinra: i wasnt listening to anything i didnt hear a thing..... i'll get the shovel again. Hibana: (smiles sweetly) "No, that won't be necessary..." (EVIL SMILE) "The force of my kick will knock you six feet into the ground." shinra: *sweats* (thinking: mother save me.) Akitaru: "Hey, come on, Princess. He was just--" Hibana: (roundhouse kick at Akitaru) "Stop calling me Prince--!" Akitaru: "!!!" (catches her leg) "Hey! Don't--" (knocked down) iris: waaah, please stop! Q-Q maki: ok, everyone chill out. what's the problem? Hibana: (trying to stomp Akitaru) Akitaru: (trying to hold her leg up) "Just a plan--OW!--to deal with Burns--OW!" maki: oh? gabriella: princess i brought your coffee-..... what did he this time? Hibana: "Just walk in and think we can grab the 1st's material for blackmail?! Are you nuts?!" (aims for his crotch) Akitaru: (struggling to hold) "Would one of you help me?!" maki: ok time out everyone, let's start from the beginning. Hibana: "...Fine." Akitaru: (sits up) "Why is Burns so cagey? We need evidence to find out the answer-- shinra: answer? Akitaru: "To a lot of questions...Because I've seen people mourning. That's not what Burns is doing." iris:......... tamaki:...................... Hibana: "You seriously want to make enemies of the 1st? When they learn Tamaki is here, what do you think will happen?' tamaki: !!!! Akitaru: "And if we want to protect her, we need something on Burns!" Arthur: (puts a hand on Tamaki's shoulder) tamaki: w-what are you planning.... Akitaru: "You know what Burns is like: we'll need you to tell us how to get to him, get past him, get past your colleagues in the 1st, and find whatever is hidden in that division." tamaki: after what happened recently, i feel like i hardly know him.... Akitaru: "...What gets under his skin?" tamaki: insubordination for one... Akitaru: "Hmm...Difficult to get more insubordinates in his organization." Hibana: (eyeroll) "Maybe we can predict his work schedule and infiltrate his place while he's out." shinra: hmmm..... Akitaru: "And since sending Tamaki back as a mole inside the 8th is not an option, we need something else...Don't suppose any of you want to transfer over there? Hibana? Takehisa? Maki?" nozomi: i'll go. they dont know about my joining here... Akitaru: "Great!" Hibana: "Wait--you sure about this, kid?" nozomi: *she nods* Hibana: "I-I don't like this. Kid, if you find yourself in any trouble, you bolt, got it?" nozomi: ok. Akitaru: "Come on--let's get you packed, Nozomi." Arthur: "...I don't like this...sending a princess into the dragon's pit." nozomi: i'll be ok, dont worry. Arthur: "..." Hibana: "..." Akitaru: (smiling widely) "Great!" -back at the club- Wes: (dancing with Liz) "You move great..." liz: thanks....hmmm....seems kid and stocking wandered off... Wes: "...Yes. Yes, they have." ("...Oh boy...") -elsewhere in the club- Kid: (grunts) stocking: *muffled moans* Kid: (whispers) "God, Stocking..." (spanks her backside) stocking: mmmn~! Kid: "You like that, don't you?" (slides his hands under the dress, cupping her breasts) stocking: mmmmn~<3 Kid: (moaning as he kisses along her neck) "How far you want to go?" stocking: i want to be begging for it by the time we head home~ Kid: "Maybe I could help with that..." (his hand slides down her backside and around...) -meanwhile in the other closet- arachne: 0-0;;; Giriko: "...Um, am I doing it wrong?" arachne: n-no, i just didnt think the reaper boy would be bringing his girlfriend here..... Giriko: "Yeah...Um, does it turn you on?" arachne: -_-; arachne: if he sees me..... Giriko: "...Want to get out of here?" arachne: after they leave.... Giriko: "...How you want to pass the time?" -later- Kid: (adjusting his shirt) stocking: ahhh.... U/////U Kid: (smiles) "You sound like you enjoyed yourself..." (kisses her neck) stocking: ah~ *blush* Kid: "Are we not finished?" (hand goes down again her again) "Or do you need an encore?" stocking: *siiigh* a-at home.... we can finish. Kid: (moans) "Damn. That is going to be a challenge, Love." -elsewhere, later- Yohei: (typing) chie: -playing bejeweled on her phone- Shotaro: (poking Tuhl with pretzel stick) mana: so what's tomorrow’s game plan? Yohei: "I need a day off from this watch, so I'll back to fixing it Tuesday. Hmmm...Want to go out?" mana: how about we all check out the arcade? Tuhl: (shoves pretzel up Shotaro's nose) "Cool." Yohei: (chuckles) "Arcade then tomorrow." -the next morning- Kid: (sighs) stocking: zzzz..... Kid: (hugs her in her sleep, smiles) stocking: mmmmm....~<3 Kid: "Feel good?" stockng: *yaaawn* y-yeah. Kid: "God, Stocking...I've never gone that far outside of a bedroom...or a hot tub...or a pool..." stocking: hehe~<3 Kid: "...Where have you wanted to do it?" stocking: well, one part of me has always wanted to do it in a dressing room... Kid: (runs a finger along her chest) "I'm game whenever you are..." stocking: ah~ *she chuckles* Kid: (pulls her close, kisses her chest) -at school- Patty: "How was Wes last night, Sis?" liz: great. we had a wonderful time, thanks for coming with us kid. stocking: aw, no problem. *she smiles* Kid: "Yes, it was great!" (Smiles at Stocking) Patty: "...I bet. So, up for another double date in the future?" stocking: i could be convinced~ *she winks at kid* Kid: (chuckles) "Yes." -in class- Stein: "Shinra, homework?" shinra: here you go, sir.

Black Star: "Hi, new tutor!" shinra: oh...hey. (thinking: i was half expecting kure...) ((in shinra's imagination spot; kirika: fuck fuckity fucker fuck!)) Black Star: "I need help with mastering controlling my wavelength." shinra: uh....i'm not sure how to do that either ^^; Black Star: "Really? But you look so wimpy that I thought you were exerting control over yourself." shinra: !! -cartoon arrow goes through shinra's chest that reads 'wimpy'- oh....really now? Black Star: "Yeah! Hey, what's your max on bench pressing?" shinra:................*curls up into a ball of sadness* wimpy.....wimpy...... Black Star: "...Doc? I broke another tutor!" soul: niiiiice. Stein: "Take Shinra to the physician before I fail you both." soul: yes sir! Black Star: "I can get him to infirmary faster!" (Runs with Shinra--into a wall) -later- Kid: "Stocking..." stocking: hmm? what is it? Kid: (whispers in her ear) "Thank you again for last night." stocking: no problem~ Kid: (whispering again) "Maybe, another time, we could try...somewhere else." (points to a school closet) stocking: sounds a bit risky... Kid: (smirks, whispers) "Makes it more fun." (pulls back, louder) "But I understand." (holds her hand) "I'm just happy being right here, right now with you." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: (whispers) "But I must admit, since that dance club, I have felt far more...amorous than usual." stocking: *she kisses his nose* you are a cute little dork you know that? Kid: (blushes) "Y-Yeah, I am..." stocking: hehe~ Kid: "When we get home..." -elsewhere- Shotaro: (playing against Mana on a video game) mana: *pressing buttons.* >:p Shotaro: (trying to attack Mana) "You can't beat me!

He keeps holding) "Let me show you have to fire." (he walks behind her, aiming the gun for her in a near-hug) chie: o///////o Yohei: (whispers in her ear) "This weapon is an extension of yourself...Treat the scope as your own eye...Look through it clearly." chie: o-ok... *she inhales and takes aim* -the zombie is shot through the chest- Yohei: (smiles) "Nice work."

Wes: (nods) "...Have you...been to the cemetery recently?" soul: i might do that today. Wes: "...Want to go on your own? Or would you like me to come with you?" soul: i'll be ok. see ya. -at the graveyard- soul: yeah, and that's what's been happening recently.... *Slight wind, shaking the bare limbs of the trees* soul: it's getting colder out.... *Bird chirps on one branch* soul: ........ maybe i'll see you in that dream world.......well, a guy can hope, right? *The bird flies--and one of its feathers falls down, onto Soul's head* soul: ........ heh.... *he keeps it.* *That Night* soul: zzzzz....... ???: "Soul?" soul: ??? maka? is that you? *Maka emerges* Maka: "Hey." soul: *he hugs her* this is nice....

Maka: (smirks) "We finally got cable." soul: oh? Maka: (giggles) "I'm kidding!" (pulls back, holds his hand) "Soul...It is a little difficult to describe this world. It defies reality."

Yohei: "Yeah, the snow looks...beautiful. And sad." chie:....... Yohei: "I think I like spring. Not as cold, but not so hot. I hated trying to do computer programming without air conditioning." chie: *she chuckles* really? Yohei: "Yeah.

Yohei: "For real? I-I'm sorry--I didn't think about...I mean...Are you okay?" chie: i'm fine, dont worry. *she smiles* Yohei: "I just didn't want to step on your toes or anything. I mean, two people trying to move around can cause some injuries." chie: yeah, haha. but i'm fine. Yohei: "I can't wait to do that again. Maybe when I feel a bit less sore." (sits up, stretches) "How about I bring you breakfast in bed?" chie: no, i can stand, dont worry. Yohei: (holds out a hand to her) "Ma'am?" -at school- Patty: "I love having the cold weather back.

Kid: (holds Stocking's hand, smiles) stocking:......*she nods* Patty: (pointing along the map) "So we hit up all these places...What is it all leading to? Where do you think Medusa escaped to?" liz: beats me..... Kid: "Hmm...She tends to work by herself...but she did have sisters. What if she is trying to find one of their previous lairs?" liz: maybe, but baba yaga's castle is all in ruins.... Kid: "What about the other Gorgon Sister? What of her lairs?" liz: nothing known.... Kid: "...Maybe a little research would help. Or maybe sending investigation teams to Medusa's old lairs in case she has been back to them." liz: that may work... Kid: "I hope so.

I asked the DWMA for more help, but I don't know whether they can let someone join us freelancers..." chie: .....have they replied? Yohei: "They said they're thinking about it. Try pinning down the Grim Reaper to commit to something--it isn't easy." Yohei: "I'll talk with that Death Scythe tomorrow to get him to commit some DWMA help. We're going to need it." chie: ok.... Yohei: "...Better get some good sleep tonight. You going to be okay?" chie: y-yeah......

Hibana: "...Yeah, good call." -down the road- ???: shit....that was close.....damn brat.... *RING RING* ???: ?!?! *she checks her phone* who is this? ???: "You're losing your touch, Girly." ????: who is this? ???: "Let's say I'm a friend. And you are in sore need of some help." ???: friends? i dont need friends, they disappoint me. Friend: "Yes, because Princess Hibana's continued living sooooooo confirms that you are doing such a good job on your own." ???: ......what do you want? Friend: "To help you put Hibana six feet under." ???: how did you get this number? Friend: "I have my ways. You'd be amazed what a computer can do." ???: hmmm......where are you right now? Friend: "Wherever you want me. Name the place." ???: there's an old subway system across from the casino near grissom. Friend: "Good choice! See you there in 5?" ???:.....very well. -elsewhere- Burns: "..." (sitting behind his desk, alone, holding a shot glass...then smirks) "All according to plan..." -elsewhere- Yumi: (putting hot sauce onto gingerbread cookies) "Spicy..." stocking: why. Yumi: "Because I have eclectic tastes, and my pregnancy has been weird. Wait until you have children." stocking: QoQ Yumi: (smirks) "Perhaps not yet?" stocking: jeez. Yumi: "Ah, but when are you and Kid going to give me some grandchildren?" stocking: *SPITTAKE* y-y-y-yumi!! O-O Yumi: (chuckles) "I'm kidding. You both have a long life ahead of you." stocking: 7,7; Yumi: (puts a hand over Stocking's) "How is your mother?" stocking: she's been doing rather well. she's staying with my dad. Yumi: "You will spend Christmas with them?" stocking: maybe....will kid be ok? Yumi: "I'm sure he will. Have faith in him." stocking: ok.... Yumi: "..." (awkward hug) -elsewere- ???: *in the subway, holding her briefcase* Friend: "Hey." ???: hmm? ah, so you showed up... Friend: "I keep my promises, and my schedule. That's more than I can say for some people." (holds out a gloved hand) "Nice to meet you." ???:....who even are you? Friend: "A friend, with an axe to grind against Princess Hibana. I want her to suffer as I had to." ???: oh? Friend: (takes the glove off one hand, showing burn marks) "Yes. One of her...hobbies." ???: !!!!! Friend: "I want her to suffer. I want her to lose everything. And when she is completely alone, the last thing she will hear is my laughter as I snuff out her flame." ???: .......*small smirk* Friend: "Will you help me?" ???: for now, yes... *she takes out a lighter and turns it on, creating a small snake from the flames* Friend: (backs away) "O-Okay...J-Just, keep the flame to yourself, please." ???:......very well. *she puts it out* Friend: "Th-Thanks. Now, you obviously have skills with the flame, but I think you need help isolating Hibana." ???: and how do we do that? Friend: "You see those girls around her? The small nun and the toady? I think kidnapping them should be easier than taking out multiple fire beings, yes?" ???: *grimace* oh...them..... Friend: "I think we can isolate them, divide them...demoralize them." (sneers) "And what better day, when no one is available to help them, then on Christmas?" ???: perfect.... Friend: (chuckles) "Good. Now, let's determine how best to separate them." (holds up a rolled up paper, which she unfurls--Blueprints of the 8th) "Amazing what you can discover with a little snooping..." -elsewhere- Hibana: "So cute~" maki: isnt it just? Hibana: "You bought it for yourself? Or did someone else get it for you?" maki: i got it in a crane game. Hibana: (cooing) "So cute!"

(opens the door) Akitaru: "Hmmm? Sorry, did you need something?" (he sets down a photo on his desk) Hibana: "Haven't seen you around all day? You got your Secret Santa gift ready." Akitaru: "Hmm? Oh, yeah, sure. I'll put it out in a bit." (small smile) Hibana: "..." (frown) "Well, take your time, why don't you?" (shuts the door) Akitaru: (sighs, goes back to staring at the photograph) Hibana: (to Maki) "Honestly, he's slow." maki:......... Hibana: "...What?" maki: n-nothing....ah! i should get tsugumi something too! Hibana: "Oh, your cousin?

And now I'm--I'm--" (throws off her jacket, revealing burn marks along her face, arms, and shoulders) "A freak!" (dashes at Iris and Gabriella) ivy: why would i want your help bitch? this is your fault to begin with! iris: *picks up a pipe to protect herself* Hibana: "Iris! Gabriella!"
