“And when I see you then I know it will be next to me

And when I need you I know you will be there with me

I'll never leave you”

April, 2013, Stuttgart

It was my first time in Germany and I was playing Maria Sharapova in the Stuttgart Open Final. I was still practically a rookie at the time, having debuted at pro tennis only a year prior. At the time I already had a couple masters titles and the press was paying close attention to me. Young, rich, pretty and full of potential. I had a good sense of style and I inherited my parents' fame and connections. An ‘it-girl’, that was the term they were using. To make things more interesting for the tabloids, I would get a new boyfriend every few months. The guy at the time was Leon Goretzka, a football player, 18 years old just like me. He was playing for Schalke 04, 400 km away from Stuttgart, and we would meet in person for the first time after the tournament.

Up until then our flirting was online. We met through social media and hit it off immediately. Leon was a charming prince and it was so nice talking to someone who was going through the same things as I was. 

leon:

no way you’re playing sharapova :o think you can win??

liv:

i know right!! so cool

why don’t you watch the match and find out ;)

Getting to play with the grown ups for the first time. The pressure to be perfect. The press constantly telling the world you’re the next big thing, when you know for a fact they’re just waiting for you to stumble so they can tear you down. He just got it, he understood me when not a lot of people seemed genuinely interested in trying to.

“Feeling confident?” My dad asked before the match.

“As always.” I answered with a smile.

“That’s my girl!”

An hour and a half later I was lifting another trophy. I walked off the court, sweat pouring down my face and my heart racing. Maria had given me a run for my money, but I had managed to pull off a win in the end.

As I made my way back to the locker room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. The pressure to perform had been intense, and I knew that one misstep could have cost me the match. But I kept my cool, stayed focused, and ultimately came out on top.

I smiled to myself, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. I knew that there would be more challenges and more pressure to come, but for now, I was content to bask in the glow of another victory

After the tournament, I had a few days to spare before my next match, so I rented a Lamborghini and took a road trip to Gelsenkirchen to meet Leon. I was starting to get a taste of being an adult, with my parents allowing me to do whatever I wanted, as long as I showed up to practice on time, kept myself fit and won titles. Everything else was up to me. I packed my bags and set out on the Autobahn. The scenery was breathtaking as I drove through the German countryside, passing fields of bright yellow rapeseed flowers and quaint villages with traditional half-timbered houses. As I approached Gelsenkirchen, I could feel my excitement building. My first stop was the Veltins-Arena, home of the Schalke 04 football club. The stadium was stunning, massive and so much different from a tennis stadium. They were playing against Eintracht Frankfurt that night and Leon was in the starting 11.

“You’re beautiful.” Leon said to me after the match, we were both in my car driving to the hotel I was staying at. “So much more beautiful in person.” At the hotel room we ordered food and ate in bed.

“Congratulations on your win! That was amazing, I actually got to watch with my parents. We were all cheering for you.” Leon looked at me with bright eyes, almost like a fan.

“Well, congrats on your win, too! The game was so cool, I don’t even know a lot about football, but it was super fun.”

“Ah, but I didn’t get a trophy. You actually won a tournament!”

There was so much to talk and so much to do, we didn’t have enough time. So it didn’t take long for our clothes to decorate the bedroom floor. We were both exhausted from work, but that wasn’t an issue that night.

“You feel so good, here, let me take care of you.” Leon was inside of me, we were on the floor on our second round. Our bodies sticky with sweat and spit, our moans filling the bedroom; I was in a trance. He smelled amazing, he tasted amazing. Every cell of my body was begging for him. He had his hand on my clit while he was fucking me. “Cum on me, let me feel it.” He was behind me, pulling my hair. I could only answer him with a nod, my mouth open, my eyes closed.

Sex had never felt like that before. We came at the same time and I thought it meant that it was love. Our meeting was restricted to the hotel, in the morning we had breakfast in bed. It was raining and when we fucked again I considered just staying there forever. But I had to go back home soon, to the Portugal Open.

“I just want to stay like this.” I was laying in bed and he was on top of me, inside of me, kissing my face. “Forever.”

“I’m sorry, Liv, I don’t think I can last forever.” He said giggling.

“We’re gonna be fine, right? We can handle this.” We were outside my car, saying our goodbyes. I would drive to the airport and meet my father there. I was so nervous, it felt like insanity to turn this into a full relationship, but it also felt like insanity to walk away.

“Yes, we can do this.” He cupped my face in between his big hands. “I’m not giving up on us.” Before boarding the airplane I got a text.

leon:

missing you already

June, 2013, Nuremberg

Leon and I were inseparable then. Life was good, we were always in touch through text messages, phone and video calls. We talked about everything. When the WTA calendar gave me a chance to go back to Germany we decided to make our relationship official to our families and introduce them.

The Nuremberg tournament was on clay. After my first match, staring at my dirty sneakers and completely destroyed socks, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. I looked up at my parents in the stands and watched Leon clapping, celebrating my victory sitting right next to my 11 years old sister. By their side, there were a couple of unfamiliar faces – Leon’s parents.

The match was intense, with my opponent and I trading points back and forth, but I was overly confident that day and intended on showing off. In the end, I managed to come out on top once again, winning the match in straight sets.

As I walked off the court, I could feel the adrenaline still pumping through my veins. Later, after showering, we met at the lobby, on our way to a restaurant. We were all having lunch together.

"Congratulations on the win," Leon said, giving me a quick hug.

"Thank you, baby." I replied, smiling. His parents smiled warmly at me, congratulating me while Leon introduced us. At the restaurant, which I couldn't pronounce the name of, we sat at a large table by the window looking out at Nuremberg's busy streets.

“What a lovely city, I always wanted to know more about Germany!” Mom had a smile from ear to ear. I think she was prouder from me landing an athlete boyfriend than from me winning my match.

He wasn’t the first boy I introduced to my family, but that time it felt different. Like we could actually make it, against all odds. I was in love like never before. The sort of blinding, deafening young love that I would never experience again. My mother was excited, he was all she ever dreamed for me. My father, on the other hand, looked at me as if knew. Being a teenager, I was offended by his behavior. How dare he. Looking at me as if my long distance-also athlete boyfriend and I are not gonna make it past a year. How dare him act like he knows around this time next year I’ll be introducing him to a new boyfriend.

“And this is my best friend Sofie.” My little sister was showing Leon some pictures on her phone. Chiara loved him immediately and he was the sweetest with her. By the end of the dinner they had private jokes and she was determined to learn german. His parents seemed genuinely interested in me and I was picturing us spending Christmas together. 

Our relationship continued like that, only meeting in person a couple days at a time, searching for privacy and creating our love dens in luxury hotel rooms. Still managed to pose for the Bild front page a couple times, despite our best efforts. We were walking out of his apartment once, holding hands.

“I’m so lucky.” Leon kissed me. “I don't want to let you go.” I kissed him back.

“I’m going down the street to get us some coffee, you weirdo.” I giggled, but Leon continued with a serious face. 

“Just kiss me, silly.”

For the following months, pictures of me and pages of newspapers reporting my victories would decorate Leon’s bedroom.

“Honey, don’t cry. Baby, come here.” We were saying goodbye once again, that time we only managed to spend a few hours together. I couldn’t hold back my tears. I was leaving a part of me with him every single time.

“I think I love you.” I whispered through my tears. “What am I going to do?”

“You’re going to let me love you too.”

June, 2013, London

While practicing for Wimbledon that year, dad and I had a big fight. I don’t remember how it started. I was texting Leon during a break, I remember worrying about him, his health, his games, and then my dad was all over my face screaming at me. “I would never accuse you of having common sense, Olivia.” My father yelled. “Where do you think he is right now? Do you think he's alone, waiting for you to find time in your schedule? This is ridiculous, just get back to training.”

When I lifted the trophy for my first Grand Slam win, that’s what I was thinking about.

September, 2013, Beijing

The distance was particularly hard on me. I missed Leon terribly and it was hard for me to focus on my matches when I was constantly thinking about him. I had to keep my priorities straight and my career came first. We tried to make it work, but besides our best efforts the distance continued to take its toll. There were times when we would argue over small things and times when we would go days without talking. It just wasn’t worth it. I couldn’t find a way to be happy being away from him.

“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” My voice was barely audible, I had already been crying for hours before calling him.

"This is it? You’re just giving up on us?” He yelled over the phone. I had nightmares  for years about making Leon cry. I never forgave myself for that.

“That’s enough, Olivia.” My father said. I couldn’t sleep or eat properly for days after the breakup. The realization that I would never get to have a normal relationship was affecting more than anything else. If things didn’t work out with who I thought was my soulmate, who never hurted me, who I loved so much; then it wouldn’t work with anybody ever. I would die alone. “He’s just a boy, you’ll get over it.”

There was nothing else for me to do except going back to court. I deleted our pictures and texts, threw away his gifts and anything that reminded me of him. I dated a few times after that, but it was never the same. I understood what I had to do to keep myself relevant and competitive. That’s all that mattered. I learned to keep a distance, to build walls and keep myself safe.

Nightmare Lurking on the Island ~A Desert Island~

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

Hypmic ARB in-game event story (Sasara, Doppo, Rio)

Recording Link: https://youtu.be/PCP9jVypO6Q (in case you wanna read along with the in-game voice lines and sound effects :D)

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

Chapter 1

Rio: Hmm… Samatoki is coming too, so I'll have to pack a second knife. *his phone starts ringing* Hmm… Who is it? *picks it up*

Samatoki: Hey, Rio?

Rio: Samatoki? What is it?

Samatoki: Turns out I suddenly got a job so I won’t be able to come with.

Rio: I see… I understand, it can’t be helped when it comes to work.

Samatoki: It’s too bad, really. I’ll surely get this over with by next time though.

Rio: Don’t worry about it… see you next time! *hangs up* I guess it can’t be helped… I’ll just go alone.

[At the port]

Sasara: Phew…Thank god the weather is nice and sunny~! Not even the tension of bad weather would’ve forced me to cut short the long-awaited Okinawa fishing trip. I’ll push the boat out no matter what. Nahaha~! Wouldn’t that be unfortunate~! For example, even if rain were to fall or if snow were to fall or if hail were to fall or if spears were to fall or if mics were to fall, I’d still weather it with all my might~! You can count on me! Yeah! You can leave it to me! Well then, I should hurry up and get this started right now by taking some pictures before we set sail! Roger that~!

Doppo: *sigh*… (I’m on the long-awaited business trip to Okinawa…. yet I’ve been apologizing so much that it feels like I’ve only been looking at the ground….That baldy….last time I brought him a souvenir he didn’t like he just called me over so I can get yelled at, which was awful… ) *sighs*…(Luckily, I was able to get a one night stay at a different hotel than the one that bald bastard is staying at… no, I bet unlike the cheap hotel I stay at, he’s staying at an expensive luxurious one…) *sighs*… (Well, to be honest… I don’t care that my boss is coming on the Okinawa trip if you ask me, but…"A man who is ‘dull’ and “gloomy” is completely unreliable" he would say, so I came here by force…) No, I can’t let my dark thoughts get the best of me! I came all the way to Okinawa, so I’ll make sure I go home having enjoyed it to the fullest!

[On an island]

Rio: Huff… looks like I’m a bit rusty… I didn’t think rowing this raft for 20 km at most would have been so exhausting… Huh… a storm is coming… I should tie my raft to a tree… That looks good. Now then, I should hurry up and find something to eat and somewhere to sleep before it starts to rain.

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

Chapter 2

Doppo: *chuckles* Fishing in the sea of Okinawa… This is the life, huh? I usually don’t have the time to go fishing apart from when I go with Sensei and Hifumi. Today is my chance to improve my skills a little so that I can surprise them the next time we go fishing together!

Sailor: We’re setting off!

Doppo: Oh, we’re leaving now!

[At sea]

Staff: Alright then… I’ll meet you in an hour!

Sasara: Cool! I wanna take some cool pictures! I’m riding a small boat but I’m feeling like I’m on a big boat~

Staff: Thanks, sir! No matter what, the transmitter is in the bag so there’s nothing to worry about!

Sasara: Don’t say scary stuff, man… With this nice and sunny weather, there’s nothing bad that can happen.

Staff: Right!

Sasara: Right on! *chuckles* Sometimes it’s pretty nice to get some alone time~

Sailor: Alright then… I’ll meet you in an hour!

[At sea, on a different boat]

Doppo: Yes, sir! Thank you very much! *chuckles* This is nice… being alone at sea like this. It’s a small boat, but regardless I’m having such a luxurious time! Now then, let’s get fishing right away~!

[At Sasara's boat]

Sasara: Uwaa! No good! The bag got all rained on…. Hey, where am I!?…. If it’s getting so stormy out here, will he still come pick me up… both the transmitter and the bag got drenched… Before the storm starts getting even stronger, I should go take shelter on that island over there.

[On an island]

Doppo: *pants*… In the nick of time, I escaped just before the storm got really bad, but the boat… it broke down… what do I do now…?

Sasara: *pants* ...~!Just barely made it in time!

Doppo: Ehhh! Nurude…-san?!

Sasara: Um? Oh, if it isn’t Kannonzaka-san!

Doppo: Are you also looking for shelter on this island?

Sasara: Yeah. I’m surprised we didn’t see each other’s boats. For now, let’s cooperate and look for help together.

Doppo: Yeah, let’s.

[Something is moving]

Doppo: *gasps*

Sasara: W-what’s going on…?

Rio: *steps closer* Ummm… you guys are…

Doppo: B-Busujima-san! What are you doing in such a place…?

Rio: I disembarked on this island to train. I came out here to check what state my raft was in and it turns out it was taken by the storm’s downpour…

Sasara: Let’s skip the formalities for now and focus on getting to safety… The waves are getting pretty high…

Rio: Yeah, you’re right.

Doppo: AAAAH!!! My employee card!!!!! It’s rapidly getting taken by the flow into the seaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Rio: Hum! *jumps into the sea*

Sasara: That’s no good! He’s jumping into such a rough sea!

Doppo: Ehhhhh!!!?

Rio: Huff… Kannonzaka… this must be important to you?

Doppo: T-thank you very much… Though it’s definitely not important enough to risk your life over it…

Sasara: Buddy, that was too much… 

Rio: Don’t worry so much about me, I wouldn’t say it was too much. If anything it was rather good training for me. I set up a base in the cave that’s up ahead. Let’s get going.

Sasara and Doppo: ……

[In the cave]

Sasara: Woah~ This has got to be the first time I see a fire lit up by flint~

Doppo: T-that’s amazing…

Rio: It’s nothing special… When it comes to survival skills, starting a fire is down to the very basics. I wouldn’t be able to call myself a soldier were I not able to do this much.

Sasara: I see… Even so, being an ex-soldier is amazing, isn’t it~?

Rio: … I am still a soldier…

Sasara: R-right, good for you…

Doppo: H-hey, Busujima-san… Thanks again for helping me out with getting back my employee card.

Rio: It was no problem.

Doppo: …I really mean it, thank you very much!

Sasara: Hey hey-

Doppo: ?

Sasara: Doesn’t the atmosphere on this island make it feel like it’s all just a dream?

Doppo: N-now that you mention it, this island does seem like it’s straight out of a manga…

Sasara: Maybe this storm… caused the treasure to storm out of here with it.

Doppo: ……………………………………………………………………………

Rio: ……………………………………………………………………………….

Doppo: A-anyways… Busujima-san…

Rio: What is it?

Sasara: Oiii! Don’t just ignore me, jerks!!

Doppo: Busujima-san, why did you come to this place to train…?

Sasara: Ah, they completely ignored my flow!

Rio: I don’t want to let my instincts dull, so places like uninhabited islands, that drive people away due to their harsh conditions, are a perfect way for me to work on this.

Doppo: I-is that so…

Sasara: I don’t get that at all, however that reasoning of yours is the reason that we were saved today, so all I can say is it gave me a reason to be thankful to you.

Rio: …today has been very exhausting. Let’s go to sleep early so we can prepare for tomorrow.

Doppo: I hope we can make it out alive…

Rio: Hey… rather than thinking about getting out of here, you should focus on surviving for now as it will increase your chance of making it out. Therefore, it’s urgent that we all get some rest and recover our physical strength.

Doppo: R-right…

Sasara: Well then, let’s sleep! Zzz… zzz… zzz… zzz…zzz… zzz… zzz…zzz…

Doppo: T-that was fast… he’s already asleep…

Rio: Yeah. We should also get some rest.

Doppo: Y-yes…

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

Chapter 3

Doppo: *snores*... Ah… *mumble mumble*. The ground is so hard that I am hurting all over.

Rio: Hm, you woke up Kannonzaka.

Doppo: Yes, good morning.

Rio: Morning. The storm seems to have stopped.

Doppo: Will anyone come to rescue us…?

Rio: Someone might come, someone might not come.

Doppo: T-that’s…

Sasara: Fuwa~a… Mornin’! Mm? Kannonzaka, what’s wrong? Why the long face?

Doppo: Help might come, but it also might not come…

Sasara: What are you saying…

Rio: Now we should still have a go at improving our chances of survival.

Sasara: Hmm… then what exactly should we do??

Rio: We should ensure we have food and water.

Doppo: R-right… you are correct…

Rio: Fortunately, there are many animals living in this forest. That’s why I think I can rely on you two to ensure our food. We can split up and I can find some water in the meantime.

Sasara: Yeah! Leave it to us! We’ll surely grub something good!

Doppo: A-are you sure you’re okay with that?

[In the forest]

Doppo: *gasps* …what in the world was that weird noise…

Sasara: Surely it was one of the many creatures here.

Doppo: That may be the case, however, I’ve never heard such an awful noise… it sounded like it might have been a terrible monster…

Sasara: Yeah, right! We’ll have monster meat today! Doppo: Even if it really was a monster, amateurs like us would never be able to catch it.

Sasara: Alright, I’ll be going by myself until you decide to come monster hunting with me. Now then, you can call me anytime you please and I’ll come~!

Velociraptor: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Sasara: Uwoooo! A dinosaur!!??

Doppo: UWAAAAAAAAAAA!

Sasara: W-why the hell is a dinosaur here?!

Doppo: And it’s a ferocious raptor too!

Sasara: What’s a raptor?

Doppo: Come on! That awful dinosaur looks like it came straight out of the movie Jurassic Park!

Sasara: You’re right, it does look like a scene from a movie…

Velociraptor: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Sasara: This is bad! It’s coming right for us!

Doppo: I-if it’s like the raptors from the movie, then they probably travel in groups…

Velociraptor B: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Velociraptor C: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Sasara: Woah! Two more came up from the front!!

Doppo: W-we’re surrounded…

Sasara: Looks like we’re out of luck…

Velociraptor A: Kuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Doppo: *gasps* IT’S GONNA EAT MEEEEEEEEEE!!

Tyrannosaurus: GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Velociraptor A: Gyapi~!!

Sasara: It was eaten by a different dinosaur!

Doppo: Ty-Tyrannosaurus…!

Velociraptor B: KUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Velociraptor C: GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Tyrannosaurus: GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Doppo: *gasps*...it’s a war of the monsters!

Sasara: Kannonzaka! It’s now or never! They’re distracted fighting each other, so this is our chance to escape!

Doppo: Y-yes…!

Sasara: *pants*

Doppo: *pants*

Sasara: *pants*

Doppo: *pants* It looks like we got away to safe-

Pteranodon: GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Sasara: S-something followed us!

Doppo: P-pteranodon!!! *gasps*

Sasara: T-this is bad…! Kannonzaka was taken!

[Up in the air]

Doppo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Help meee~!!!

[In the cave]

Doppo: *panting* I-it was a dream… Thank God…

Rio: Hm, you woke up Kannonzaka.

Doppo: Yes, good morning.

Rio: Morning. The storm seems to have stopped.

Doppo: Will anyone come to rescue us…?

Rio: Someone might come, someone might not come.

Doppo: T-that’s…

Sasara: Fuwaa… Mornin’! …Oh, it looks like it’s clearing up pretty nicely outside, doesn’t it? I’ll go out for a bit. 

[Outside, on the island]

Sasara: Not a single cloud in sight and the sun is shining brightly~. I wonder if a lifeboat will come for us anytime soon~ Um? …what’s that?

Rio: Nurude, what’s wrong?

Sasara: O-over there…

Doppo: T-that is…a pirate ship!!!!

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

Chapter 4

Sasara: I-it’s coming here…

Doppo: It’s coming ashore…

Rio: …pirates, huh? That’s unusual.

Sasara: No, no, no! How unusual it is is not the problem here…!

Doppo: I can’t tell what they’re after at this point… but I surely hope they’re gonna take us back to the city…

Rio: It will all depend on their attitude…

Captain Spark: Ho. I thought this was an uninhabited island, I didn’t think there’d be any people on here.

Doppo: Well, umm… We got stranded on this island because of yesterday’s storm, which is why we were wondering if you could take us back to the city.

Captain Spark: …I was just thinking I could increase the numbers in my crew. This is great! I, Captain Spark, will prosper with you three as my crewmembers! This is really great! Doppo: C-crewmembers…?

Sasara: W-what are you saying? That’s outrageous…

Doppo: Busujima-san… w-what should we do…?

Rio: …for now, we should follow those guys’ orders. If a fight were to start, we’d clearly be at a disadvantage because we’re outnumbered.

Doppo: F-fight…?

Captain Spark: Follow me!

[On the ship]

Doppo: …………………………………………………………………………….

Sasara: …………………………………………………………………………….

Rio: ………………………………………………………………………………….

Captain Spark: Alright. I’ll give you three the "Captain Spark’s Crew" uniforms. Go get changed.

Sasara: Shell yeah! I got all sticky because of the seawater, so this is just what I needed.

Doppo: A-ahaha… T-thank you…

Rio: *whispering*…what’s going on, there’s 30 people over there… Looks like this is not the right time to take action.

Doppo: Eh, did you say something, Busujima-san?

Rio: No, it’s nothing.

Captain Spark: Hurry up and get changed already!!!

[They change into pirate clothes]

Doppo: U-umm… we changed…

Captain Spark: Alright! First thing’s first, clean that deck!

Doppo: Y-yes…

Sasara: Hey hey, where is this ship headed??

Captain Spark: As always… to a treasure island!

Sasara: I-is that so…

Captain Spark: Get back to work and finish cleaning by noon!

Sasara: Bufu! Did you hear that? T-treasure island! Does he really believe in such a thing!?

Doppo: That doesn’t matter now… *sighs*... If I don’t hurry up and go back to work I’ll surely get fired.

Sasara: Now now, that may be so, but an extraordinary day like this sure is fun!

Doppo, Rio and Sasara: !?

Sasara: W-what the…?

Pirate: It’s an enemy attack!!!!

Captain Spark: Everyone! Get ready for battle!!

Doppo: *gasps* E-enemy…?

Sasara: Looks like a different group of pirates showed up.

Rio: This is our chance!

Doppo: Our chance…?

Rio: …… *takes out a rocket launcher*

Doppo and Sasara: !!

Sasara: W-why in the world do you have a rocket launcher…

Rio: …to exterminate them.

Doppo: I-it hit…

Sasara: Yeah… and it looks like they’re raising a white flag.

Captain Spark: Well done! They fell to our canons! I’ll have to reward you somehow…

Rio: Everybody freeze!

Doppo, Sasara and Captain Spark: !!??

Rio: I am taking control of this ship.

Doppo: *gasps* W-what the hell are you doing… Busuji-

Sasara: Listen up! From now on, the three of us will be the captains around here!

Doppo: Eh, I’m a captain too!?

[They change into pirate captain clothes]

Doppo: Uhhh… I’ll have to make friends with all kinds of pirates now that we’re leading a crew of no less than 100 pirates…

Sasara: This is bad… since you had to go back to work and all…

Doppo: I’m probably already fired at this point… I’ve been absent without notice for how many days now…

Sasara: H-hey… when will we be back?

Rio: Soon enough when the time is right.

Sasara: Right, right, so let’s go back already.

Rio: Yes. With this large fleet we can take down Chuoku!

Sasara: HUH??

Doppo: EEEEHHH! T-T-Th-There’s no way!

Rio: If we can do it we should do it. If you guys too are soldiers, then prepare yourselves!

Doppo: I’m not a soldier, I’m a salaryman!

Sasara: (Hey, this is no good… At this rate we will just become the criminals of the century… Fortunately, I can see we are approaching an island… should I just abandon ship and have a swimmingly good escape…) *starts approaching the edge of the boat*

Rio: *stops him* Hey, where do you think you’re going?

Sasara: I-I can do this! *jumps into the water*

[In the cave]

Sasara: *panting* I-it was just a dream… I’m so glad…

Rio: Hm, you woke up, Nurude.

Sasara: M-mornin’...

Rio: Morning. The storm seems to have stopped.

Sasara: Yeah, you’re right! That’s great!

Doppo: *snores*... Ah… *mumble mumble*. The ground is so hard that I am hurting all over.

Sasara: Oh, mornin’!

Doppo: G-good morning… no one’s here to rescue us yet… is there?

Sasara: I don’t think so…

Doppo: Right…

Rio: A lifeboat is just heading over here.

Doppo and Sasara: Huh?

Rio: Judging by the distance, it should already be here in a few minutes.

Doppo: It’s true…

Sasara: It’s coming, isn’t it…

Doppo: (T-this time…)

Sasara: (It better not be a dream…)

I am still onto my theory that David is Lucifer's heir or whatever so like...this is pretty cool. Being descended from the first shadowhunter and then the most powerful prince also takes a liking. Not cool for David course

Coraline and Max>>>

I don't remember anything from the previous chapters but David is in the old place, right? where he lived with Albert? I think that was mentioned. did Iy dream that?

Coraline is so hot women with brain cells are so hot

my god that is one unhinged motherfucker I love him so much the electricity thing is so cool

oh my god I COULD CRY RIGHT NOW HE WROTE AYAN DIDN'T HE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

WILL THAT BOLT LEAD THEM TO DAVID????

what the fuck is she doing

I hate them so much the RAGE I HAVE FOR THEM

oh my fucking god IS THIS HOW THE HEIR OF LUCIFER WILL BE MADE I THOUGHT THEY'D BE BORN OR SOME SHIT

“He is here,” David smiled. “My Max is here.” I ALMOST SOBBED

he doesn't remember. Oh my god Mallory I will kill you

WhAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED

okay next

THEY FOUND DAVID THANK GOD

oh my god I NEED TO CRY

OH MY GOD, I WAS RIGHT??? Wait no something's not adding up there... David can't be the heir!

Magnus’ cat eyes gleamed in worry. “Lucifer. Lucifer will come looking for David.” well fuck. lemme get some food

Besides, he had promised himself that he would never bend the blood of a living creature. It was dark magic. Max didn’t want to do that. I feel like this is foreshadowing that he will

oh. oh that's why Nico sent the cane

“Born out of blood and born into darkness,” David whispered. OH OH OH OH OH

he doesn't FUCKING REMEMBER I WILL KMS

I am sad

Oooo they're interviewing claire. that was pretty nice actually

SO HUNTER IS DESCENDED FROM SHADOWHUNTERS???

fuck fuck fuck fuck AVE ATQUE VALE WAS SHE A SHADOWHUNTER????

esther esther esther esther esther esther esther OH MY GOD

I am actually confused about who was Esther to them.

i am sorry he figured out WARLOCK MATH???

CAMILA????

Slight panic attack,

Porcelain Face - Chapter 5

WARNING: Lilo&Stitch 2 spoilers (If you haven't watched it before)

-"So how about we go inside? Have you ever been to a porcelain store before, paper-boy?"

The guy in grey apron asked as the three of them walked into the warehouse of the shop.

-"Nope, and if you want to talk to me with a nickname it's actually cardboard boy." Virgil replied.

-"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, what's your name by the way?" The guy asked, a little nervously from the awkwardness of this conversation so far.

-"Its Virgil" The cardboard boy replied.

-"That's a lovely name you got there kiddo! I'm Patton! I'm the son of the owner of this store, cool right?" The guy so-called Patton said in a cheerful tone.

-"Yeah, yeah. Skip it, that's amazing that you guys finally know each other now but haven't we brought Vee here for a reason???" Ethan rolled his eyes.

-"Ooooh! Yeah! Explanations!" Patton finally replied.

-"Not ALL of the explanations, Pat." - the porcelain boy raised his voice a little with stress and worry.

The older one nodded quickly.

-"Soo.....Do you want to know about your mask?"

Virgil and Ethan both looked questionably at him.

Virgil's expression on his cardboard face obviously said that he indeed wanted to know more about it and the other boy was just waiting for the bomb to explode.

-"Well...I know it's magic but I don't know exactly where it came from, hehe...." Patton laughed nervously, scratching his cheek.

Ethan facepalmed his head then, Virgil though looked pretty confused and disappointed.

-"Guess we're staying here for the rest of the school time...right?" Virgil said, wanting to change the subject, what's the point of asking questions anyway if they won't tell you the answers.

-"Oh no no no! You're not staying in THIS place.

It's only for fixing Dee over here." he said pointing at the porcelain boy

"How about going to the cafe?" Patton suggested getting a glare from the porcelain boy for the nickname that was used in front of Virgil again.

-"You change your mind pretty quickly."the cardboard boy said.

-"Not wanting to be rude of course."

-"Nah, you're not.

He's just like this confused mom friend even if he declares himself a dad" Ethan simply said making the usually bubbly person huff in annoyance before smiling again and saying:

-"Welp, I may act like that sometimes but I do not have a feminine face like you, dear cousin." The older boy smirked as the younger one with heterochromia gasped offended.

-"That's not my fault! Let's just go to the cafe!"

Virgil giggled at their funny relationship, they got along pretty well. 

It was a shame for him to be honest to not have any cousins or siblings....It felt so...lonely.

After they appeared at their destination Patton asked the boys what they wanted to get, since he was the one to buy the stuff.

Virgil wanted to deny but he looked at Ethan instead remembering he didn't eat.

Apparently Ethan forgot for a second as well before getting "angry" again.

-"I can't- You bastard! How dare you Patton?! Right in my face?" The porcelain boy exclaimed as both of them knew what he was talking about, they both laughed. 

-"Your loss. Virgil will get your food then!" Patton simply said as Ethan crossed his arms, pretty pissed off at his miserable non-human being.

-"No, no I don't-"

Virgil tried explaining as Patton gasped before heading closer to the boy and whispering:

-"Please don't tell me you don't eat too."

-"No, it's just I don't want to inpose, please-" Virgil tried saying but Patton kept nagging him until he finally sighed in defeat and agreed.

As Patton went to buy the food and drinks there for a moment was  silence between the two of the other boys until Ethan finally spoke up.

-"Sooo...You're really not ashamed of me being...you know?" He asked as the other boy shook his head pretty fast it could even fall of his neck.

-"No! Of course not! You're wonderful!" He tried defending the other who smiled softly at him.

-"Are you busy tonight?" The porcelain boy asked.

-"N-no? Why do you ask?" Virgil said.

-"Then I'm inviting you over! You can finally meet my queer-platonic mums!" He said exitedly before flushing in embarrassment for saying it out loud."

-"R-Really? They won't mind?" Virgil asked again, a little more shy this time but still with hope in his voice.

-"No, but there is another problem with them that you need to just ignore..."

-"What???" Virgil became a ball of confusion at this moment.

-"They ugh....Think we are a couple? How do you say it....They...ship us?"

-"What???? And why would I be a bout-" Virgil asked with an inside joke.

-"Well, it's not exactly a bout...."

-"I know what it means, dummy. I'm just playing with you to make it sound less awkward."

-"Well, that didn't help-" As Ethan was in his mid sentence he got cut off by Patton who just came back with the food."

-"DA FOOD IS HERE!" Patton happily exclaimed.

With that sentence The boy in vitligo did some hand gestures to Patton, probably the sign language as the boy in glasses glared at him and used the sign gestures back.

Ethan: "F-U-C-K O-F-F P-A-T" 

Patton:"L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E" 

-"What were you saying????" Virgil asked but instead of answering Ethan took the muffin from Patton's plate who clearly yelled at him as he  shoved it in Virgil's face.

Unfortunately it didn't go through his mask as it was intended to.

Instead it made Virgil very uncomfortable.

-"Guess it broke, huh?" Ethan said.

-"I'll eat it later you idiot! Don't shove it in my mouth here if I can't eat it!" Now Virgil was really pissed at the other boy who now tried to apologize to him the best he could.

And it finally worked.

-"How about we go to Dee's house?" Patton suggested.

-"I already asked him that before, he agreed."

-"Yey!" Patton replied still as happy as ever.

-"But I need to get my things first-" Virgil said worriedly.

-"Oh right!" The both of them said in unison.

As Patton drove him off to his house to get his things.

His parents weren't home as usual....

After 10 bare minutes of packing he came back and popped in the car next to apparently Dee.

-"Why aren't you sitting next to Patton in the front sit?" Virgil asked curiously for why the other boy was sitting here when there was an empty sit in the front.

-"He knows why." Patton exclaimed rolling his eyes as Ethan stuck his tongue out at him.

-"Okay then..." The cardboard boy awkwardly replied.

After 10 minutes of driving or so, because Patton couldn't drive faster that 50mph.

[Ethan always woke up pretty early and run 5 km like it was nothing]

When they finally arrived Ethan went to knock on the door as he said:

"Mom C! Mamma D! I'm brought Pat and Virgil home!"

-"Pfff..Mom C, Mamma D?" Virgil said

-"Shut up" Ethan replied as two woman in the age of 30 or close came to the door.

One had light curly hair dyed the color red and as the author would describe African eyes as they were green with a big patch of hazel in the middle.

She also appeared to have a lot of freckles on her face.

She as well as Patton wore an apron but not for painting though as for cooking.

The other one looked more tomboy like, one could say.

She had pretty short but not too short dirty blonde hair, torquise eyes and a literal face of a duck.

She wore a black hoodie and stripped shirt under it, also having trainers and ripped jeans.

-"How's our not-born-from-either-of-us gay son doing?" They both said in unison as he sighed, Patton though giggled and Virgil just rolled his cardboard eyes playfully.

-"Ooooh! Is this your boyfriend you've been talking about?" Mamma D (Dominique) said.

-WHA-NO! HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND MOM!"

Ethan yelled, his face being the color of a tomato at least.

-"Not yet" Mom C (Caroline) said looking at a wall and winking to it. 

[She breaks da fourth wall]

-"God..." Dee whined tiredly.

-"Auntie Caroline and Dominique are funny aren't they?" Patton exclaimed.

-"Um....." Virgil was almost silent, as he as well as Dee blushed madly.

-"Anyways, we are going to my room, what's for dinner?" Dee asked, not caring that he himself didn't eat, since the other two on the other hand did.

-"Mac n Cheese!" Dominique yelled.

-"Mmmm, my favorite!" Patton happily cheered.

-"God, I wish I could eat....It always looks so good..." The porcelain boy mumbled not expecting the comforting pat on the back from his hooded friend in the mask.

-"It's fine, though. I'm used to this torture." The boy exclaimed this time louder.

There was a moment of silence before Ethan asked both of them:

-"Hey guys, what do you want to play?" He said pointing at a giant stock of board and video games.

-"Jenga!" Patton exclaimed

-"Monopoly..?" Virgil said unsurely.

-"Virgie NOOOO I don't want to lose you!" Ethan whined holding the paperboy's hands with the pleading yet fake sadness on his face pretending to be dramatic again making the smaller one giggle.

-"Aww you guys are cute." Patton said, adoring the other two who flushed and moved away a few inches.

After some time of playing board games like dungeons and dragons, Jenga, Uno and Hot Patt-tato they were loosing up for a movie.

-"Oh, oh! Let's watch Bolt!" Patton yelled exitedly.

-"I'd rather watch Jungle Book, It's more classic." Dee criticized

-"What about...Lilo & Stitch?" Virgil suggested, still pretty shy though.

-"which part? I have all four, plus the series." Dee exclaimed.

-"Um....Maybe the second one?" Virgil said.

-"Okay then..."

When the dinner was finally ready they all stopped the movie to eat, except Ethan who didn't want to wait for them here and later getting teased on by Dominique and Caroline, Dee left, offended and flustered, then Virgil and finally Patton.

They got to the part in which Stitch couldn't control himself anymore and screwed stuff up, him and Lilo had a fight and later on Lilo went to play a role without him as he was even more broken.

This scene made them all sob, but not as much as when Stitch was put into the fixing machine as everyone thought it was too late for him.

Now they all fully cried. What was the most surprising was that it wasn't Patton who cried the most at the scene but Virgil. 

Both Ethan and Patton tried to comfort him after watching the part.

Though there was happy ending so nothing really bad then..

-"Virgie, why did you pick a movie which would make you cry so much?" Ethan asked worriedly.

-"I just...wanted to see this part again...For some reason.."

-"Okay then..." The boy in vitligo signed.

-"Oh! Son, it was very nice to meet you and I'd be glad to adopt you as my own." Patton said with a loving stare at the masked boy.

-"Ummm....What?" Virgil asked, pretty confused now.

-"Shh..You're my baby now."

-"...Eth?" Virgil tried asking for help but none came since Ethan just gave the "shrug it off" motion.

After some time of eating snacks and talking, the porcelain boy checked the hour.

-"Oh shit we should probably go to sleep, guys."

-"Language, Dee." Patton rolled his eyes tiredly.

-"But it's only 2 AM in the morning?" Virgil asked as the other two gave him an unbelieving stare which made him regret saying this out loud.

-"Bed. Now" both of them said at the same time.

-"Nooooo" Virgil whined as he was being pulled by them to bed.

-"But my Tumblr-" he tried defending himself but for no use.

-"It won't fly away. Now sleep!" Ethan said in a worrying yet stern voice.

-"Um...I sort of have problems with that."

-"Shouldn't you put your mask away first? It's probably hurting your face no-" Patton asked yet being cut off by the younger boy in the cardboard mask.

-"NO!" Virgil yelled but put his hands to his mouth and gasped at his sudden outburst.

-"I'm so sorry, I- I didn't mean to-" he cried as Ethan came closer to him.

-"It's not your fault, it happens sometimes to every one of us. 

Now do you want me to sing you a song? Maybe it will help you sleep, I don't know...."

The smaller boy nodded without any hesitation even to his own surprise making Ethan chuckle a little as he began to sing Welcome to Wonderland by Anson Seabra.

Which actually worked as his wonderful siren like voice lulled the cardboard boy to sleep.

They both then fell asleep on the porcelain boy's bed as Patton just signed, peacefully this time and went to the living room.

.

.

.

.

-"VIRGIL WAKE UP, WE OVERSLEPT!" The voice broke the amazing silence as the boy in the bed hissed lazily not caring.

-"Virgil please, we need to go! Or I'm taking your mask off." Ethan fake-threatend.

Virgil then suddenly flicked from the bed "energized as ever"

Or rather anxious as ever.

As they both sat in the car and run as fast as they could to the classroom...

And there was a new student.

[chelseawalker]

This blog is mostly for me to have a place to work out some of one of my fics out. chrlseawalker, the current url, is the name of the major oc in it, probably until I decide what title to give it. Or maybe I'll keep chelsea cuz we stan a QUEEN

I posted a couple chapters to the old spam_monster kinkmeme (km), but disliked it and realized there was a newer dreamwidth km. I developed the idea more and posted a couple chapters I liked a lot more. Then I went to college and got writer's block etc and it didn't get any more development.

I got back into writing last year and this idea recently came back into me at full force. Going back over what I had planned (which is all still in my head wtf. I can't remember what I walked into a room for but I can remember this fic shockingly well.) I'm actually super excited. I had a lot of really cool concepts and plot for it!!!

I'm currently procrastinating on both editing those first couple chapters that had gotten posted and starting the proper outline (I got a timeline of pre-fic events from the wiki broken up into character-specific sections though!!) by considering what I'd title it. When I posted it on the km i didn't yet have one and named it shau. Then I called it Counting Stars (song title by Sugarcult).

I am at the beck of my whims so I can't help but wanna name it re:birthed or a lyric from re:birthed (by Hitoshizuku, it's the sequel song to Karakuri Burst) as they're my current music fixation.

re:birthed [/pos]

ephemeral sand.

just bad luck and crying [/j]

distorted spiral

Feelings you don't want to admit [bit on the nose for me ._.]

You have no choice but to laugh? [the ? makes it for me]

Justice Breaker [this is the title of a different song by Maki in the NfN (Nostalgia for Nothingness) series. I'm REALLY feeling this one actually)

Hypocrite Justice [while I feel like this could be good i feel like the implication of the title would be too much pressure on me lol]

dance with the ashes

kill all your muddy regrets

Monochrome stagnant world where weak flowers are cut [i like what this means but I'm not sure how to go about condensing it :(

]

flowers in a monochrome world [/pos]

flowerless world in monochrome [is okay]

Only the crimson color produced by cold iron feels comfortable [the original context is holding a gun or a sword as a weapon]

just bad luck and ridicule [fitting, but no]

Even if I break it, my heart is not satisfied [this is lovely but i don't think its implication 100% relevant to this fic which would make me anxious]

I wanted to keep it lost [could work!]

Who wants to break? [Mood]

The answer I grabbed is dyed red [:o ]

What if I could choose? [:O ]

From MismatcherP's stuff:

The angel grins and takes its next victim [good, but focuses on the wrong plot point]

Reaping what you sow

I do regret that we've met [ooooh i likey]

Broken beyond repair

I can't count on anything but the tick of the clock [implication isn't accurate]

You say that you'll kill god

Filled with despair and off to nowhere

The devil hidden there

The truth renders me blind [👀 altering blind to maybe: unsuspecting, cold, careless, unwilling.]

Gulping down my fears

You're still chasing

Can night terrors control you?

All a bunch of drama put into my facade [👍]

Will you defy your puppeteer?

You're a liar through and through [👀]

You will ruin the pedestal that I am placed on

The mask is never gone (which side do you want to see?) [Bit long but YEAH]

Taken from the light

You should be afraid of me (terrified of how i came to be) [nice]

I will define my fate at this rate [fuck yeah you funky lil characters]

All the violence that we showed (it destroyed me) [once again a great title that makes promises i don't know if i could keep lol]

A name is just a name to anyone that's the same

All a shame just to lose your face

The blame is on those who claimed innocence

Please forgive this pitiful me

Unknown Mother Goose [wowaka]

Unhappy Refrain [wowaka]

I'm not afraid so tell me, dear [Psychogram by Deco*27]
