MLB Death Note -esque AU / Scarlet Messenger AU drabble

It was Night 3 of having Adrien Arsenault handcuffed to her, and this time around the deal was that it would be at Maryam's own apartment. There were juvenile fears cropping up here and there of what exactly her parents were assuming Maryam was doing sleeping directly beside an attractive boy her age who she claimed to be 'dating'... But it was in the pursuit of justice towards her people, so such things didn't truly matter. All of this closeness was simply to throw Adrien off her trail. No feelings but justice.

Maryam was awoken by the faint sound of paws tapping at her window. Assuming it was either her Guardian or that she was just hallucinating from sleeplessness, Maryam ignored it. ...Until the window opened on its own, that is.

"Woof," a familiar voice spoke. "What a dump this place is."

Maryam sat up, the handcuff rubbing up against her wrist. On her windowsill was a pitch-black cat, who seemed apprehensive to actually set foot into the room. It took an embarrassing second for her to figure out just who the cat truly was.

"Eveningstar."

"Right you are!" the cat laughed. "Just wanted to check on my darling little lady~"

On a false instinct, Maryam tugged at her handcuffs to try and pull Adrien awake. ...Only for there to be no resistance. His shackle was unoccupied.

"Hah!' she shouted, albeit perhaps a bit too soon. "My suspicions were right! You are Adrien Arsenault after all!"

The cat fought back the smallest reaction of shock—a pause so small, in fact, that the hand of a clock wouldn't even move the width of a hair before its conclusion.

"Who?" the cat asked. Maryam's eye twitched: That was the most idiotic possible response she could've ever gotten out of Eveningstar. Infuriating, even, since it was so belligerently stupid that it seemed to actively disprove her theory. Adrien Arsenault was by all means a scholar and an absolute nerd, and would've undoubtedly said something closer to "I have no such recollections of a man by that name" before he said something as fucking moronic as "Who?".

"Oh!' the cat added, its small dark face contorted in imbecilic smugness. "The guy I just kidnapped. Your boyfriend."

"He is not my boyfriend."

The cat feigned a dramatic gasp. "Oh, little lady!" it sighed, as if what had just escaped Maryam's lips was a cuss of the highest vulgarity, "And to think he is so infatuated with you. You were all he could talk about, my darling. 'My dearest Maryam' this, 'My lovely Maryam' that." The Eveningstar chuckled self-contentedly. "He thinks your eyes are the most beautiful in the world, you know."

That last part was definitely a lie just to try and make her flustered. Even so, Maryam nearly reached a hand for her pendant, thinking that she should at the very least check to make sure Adrien was okay—

But that would just prove she was Scarlet Messenger. She'd fucking gone three days handcuffed to the opposite sex just to give it all up here? Just on the off chance that The Eveningstar of all people was telling the truth?

"That's nice and all," she said. "But I don't see why you think I can do anything about it."

"I have reason to believe you can."

"....Right," she said. Maryam grabbed her phone off her nightstand. "I can always call the police."

All of Eveningstar's fur stuck up on its end. "Woah woah woah woah, little lady! That's- I find that highly uneccesary—"

"Why is it?" she asked, bringing the phone up to her face. She had dialed in Adrien's number, not like Eveningstar would be able to tell. Unless he could, in which case that would only be more evidence to prove her theory. "Kidnapping is a crime, isn't it?"

The black cat huffed indignantly.

"Hang up and he'll be back by the morning. ...No torture, no nothing."

Maryam lowered the phone from her ear. "...Is that a deal, chaton?"

Eveningstar scoffed at being called such a name, but eventually replied with "It's a deal, little lady."

So Maryam hung up. Overall, the interaction had done absolutely nothing in prove anything in either particular way, which she somewhat considered a waste. ...However, she had held her ground. And if Maryam Zheng-Desrosiers could at least do that... then she'd prove her case in no time at all.

why did i put actual effort into this .

[odetojupiter]

the fact that kevin day also witnessed a man being chopped up in the tower at evermore after neil’s audition is mad, and it’s something that is very much not addressed ever. like, maybe part of kevin was so accepting of how things were in the nest because he knew that this is the second branch, and if he were to leave, he’d become the main branch’s problem because he knows too much, and the main branch casually chops men up as a warning to literal children. and then he’s still called a coward for leaving ?? but also a coward for wanting to go back to make the inevitable less painful for him ??? and that’s not even considering what riko and tetusji did to him specifically, before even jean arrived at the nest. and his mother’s death would’ve been quite recent at that point. just insane.

"Are you a man or a woman?"

Am I flesh or bone? Do I peel the meat from my body or carve my skeleton out of myself? Which halves of myself do I keep, after the operation is done?

You come to me asking me this, asking me if I'm one or the other. Am I a man or a woman.

Fuck off.

Riaz Moola, the founder of CoGrammar and Longdue which claims to be making a "successor to Disco Elysium" is so cartoonishly evil, like I can't believe this shit:

- he is currently legally preventing Argo Tuulik from working at Summer Eternal and in the industry until April 2025

- he wanted to be a shareholder of Summer Eternal and was asking SE to promote Longdue and not marked themselves or accept any crowdfunding until April 2025

- he is also teaming up with za/um, and taking Tuulik to court which is insanely expensive, which is why Argo is close to bankruptcy now, and had to set up a GoFundMe

- said GFM was taken down after a day and it's very likely that Moola did this because

- on the reddit post about this GFM Moola has made a comment that has like 300 upvotes, and some negative comments directed at him have a lot of downvotes, which is super suspicious considering other comments don't have even half as much engagement there, (and I think some comments even got deleted somehow!) &

- he is the CEO of Hyperiondev, which infamous for deleteting negative reviews about it's shit quality coding bootcamp

- Moolah's response to Argo was that "come on I'm just a small business owner and you were friendly with me in an email some months ago" (this dude is the CEO of multiple companies and who sues their friend into bankruptcy??)

- Argo Tuulik has said that he is doubtful that anyone from the old disco team is working at Longdue, and Moola could be using the fact that Tuulik was doing something for a very short time at CoGrammar to say that 'former de developers are at Longdue'

In conclusion,

Fuck Riaz Moola and what Longdue is making has nothing to do with disco elysium

CW!!! implied non-consentual activity. he's kinda an asshole

imagine hanging out with soap after his most recent fling decided to leave him. it’s not like he’s all that torn up about it, but he’d asked for your company and, well, the good friend you were wouldn’t turn that down.

so you go to his place, keep him company. “i’m here for you, whatever you need,” you told him. and you meant it when you said it, but maybe that’s because you didn't realize how serious he’d take it.

the next thing you know, he’s got his hands all over you. innocent touches on your thigh turn greedy as he squeezes the plush of your skin between his fingers. he’s groping every inch of you he can reach, sneaking a hand under your shirt when you don’t expect it to feel your soft stomach under his calloused palm. he groans a filthy sound in your ear when he cups the weight of your tits in his hands and tells you how he’s always wanted to feel them.

so you’ll let him touch you, right? you have to—you said you’d provide him whatever he needed. and right now, he needed something soft in his hands and warm around his dick

so you don’t need to question it when he gets you under him, practically folded in half with those strong hands pushing your knees to your chest. the harsh snap of his hips makes you wince pathetically at the intrusion of his thick cock. soap didn’t care. all he cared about was how hot and wet and tight you were. just like he knew you’d be.

a cruel mix of selfishness and irritation drives the rough and hard thrusts that spear his dick deep inside. he’s mocking your gasps and the confused look on your face—“what’s wrong? y’said you’d help me out, aye? thought you meant it.”

when all you can respond with is a whimper borne from the force of his cock kissing your cervix, he just laughs.
