Trying out some new designs (aka playing dress up)

memories that linger | love and deepspace

there's always been something pushing against you. and not in the metaphorical, woe is you sort of way, but in the way that... well, you can't quite put your finger on it. there's nothing metaphorical about it, you think, but anyone else would swear it's just your luck. you believe that, too, when you aren't so displeased with the way things are going. there is something that tries to force your hand, change the choices you want to make.

you realize that sounds crazy. that's why you keep it to yourself.

you've stopped resisting the push so much these days. you feel it like a hand upon your back, urging you forward and into the hunter association's ranks despite your dream of publishing your manga. it feels simultaneously wonderfully right and terribly wrong, though the development of certain events quickly steals your attention away from that invisible hand. you want answers. you need them, and you'll march in whichever direction that leads you to them.

additional details

in this verse, i'm writing chiyo as the mc and toying with the concept of past lives like the game does, though i may also sprinkle in a little itty bitty bit of fourth wall stuff -- like chiyo having the thought, " this is like a game, and someone else is making my choices. " as a treat <3

but the focus will be more on fate bc chiyo really hates it as a concept, and that's so much fun to write in this setting :' )

when interacting with other mc's, we can decide if we'd like our characters to just so happen to be in the same boat, having grown up with grandma and caleb, etc. if not, i have no problem writing chiyo in her main verse! there's plenty to work with either way and i'm happy to adapt!

bc chiyo's parents and grandmother play such important roles in her development, they're alive and well until wanderers kill them during chiyo's freshman year of high school. this event leads to josephine taking her in. she was a friend of the family and as good as a second grandmother to chiyo.

i'll likely think to add more when i'm not sleep-deprived and as i progress in the story, but if you have any questions, just let me know <3

Anxious hands pick up the wailing cherub from the cradle, the angel shushing him. As one of the staff members that serves the high council and archangels, she is tasked to take on any request from her superiors. But to babysit a baby angel is not something she imagined ever doing. It’s not like they’re a common sight in Heaven, let alone with any instruction. And to her shock, the superiors appear to be equally as clueless.

“Please stop crying, little one. You’re giving me quite the headache.” The angels plea goes answered with another hiccup and wail, shimmering starry tears rolling down his apple mark cheeks. Even with the doors closed, the babies cries can be heard in the hall of the citadel.

YOUCH! That smarts! Maybe this will be enough to convince him to listen to Swansea when he tells him not to push his limits — but! The promise of a new, badass scar might also convince him otherwise. After all! Scars are great story opportunities to impress the ladies. He’s gritting his teeth and grinning through the pain.

          “ Thanks, doc, ”     his toes are curling in his boots, his hands balled into tight fists. He can’t look down at the work she is doing on him, but idly he thinks of how damn cool he thinks she is for being able to handle it,     “ If you can believe it, it didn’t even hurt — ”

He hisses through his teeth before he can catch himself, giggling softly as their eyes meet, of only for a brief moment. His cool cred is vanishing before his eyes!

Another day, and another night tracking some kind of disturbance here in Karakura Town.

For days now, something had been prowling the streets here on the west side of town at night, terrorizing people. The Shinigami assigned to this area hadn't any luck tracking down the culprit of these incidents, but a Hollow was suspected, a Hollow that Amagai was aiming to finally put down tonight.

This search had led Amagai to a large convenience store, both where the creature was supposedly seen last, and where he had an hour prior detected a strange spiritual presence. Now that Amagai was here in the store, however, he found himself a little distracted by the displays and the items on sale....

"This stuff looks strong," Amagai said, holding up an energy drink with a very flashy looking design, showing it off to Sylvia who had accompanied him tonight on this search, "looks tasty, too; want to try it with me?" // @frozenwiings

It had been about a day since her last departure. Thides 11 was in a much more stable condition and able to sustain the people that lived there after an unknown attack. After making a report to home, she was ready to hit the showers and sleep off all that hard work.

That was till she heard the alarm.

“Damn”

It came on whenever they passed a planet that showed signs of life in rough conditions. Upon trying to get more details on it and its inhabitants, all she got was a barren wasteland.

However, just as a new report was coming in regards to the life there that could determine whether she should land or not-

CRASH

A stray asteroid that was headed towards the planet collided. With little time to react, the explorer found herself being pushed towards the planets pull. Only having enough time to get into safety before colliding with its surface.

~~~

By the skin of her teeth, the explorer made it out alive. Unfortunately, her ship was not so lucky. With only a little power left to send an emergency transmutation back home, she could only hope it’d make it. For now, she was left to grab her translator and another supplies she had left, and survey her surroundings.

It certainly was a desolate place. No sign of intelligent life come to inspect the crash. But there was a sound from a distance her ears could pick up.

Moving a bit faster, she went to investigate. Hoping to find any friendly life forms to explain her dilemma and in turn offer her assistance for their hospitality.

❛ I am pleased to see that you responded to my urgent calling quite speedily. ❜

Weight adjusted atop length couch, with one leg placed thereabove the other, creating a comfortable arrangement of a pose, with one hand placed atop pristine mien, offering support and convenience. Unreadability illustrated, in equivalence of abstractly swirled brushstrokes upon blank canvas, sans proper structure, neither cohesiveness. Nuances of umber would glance at the significantly tall individual, in preparedness to launch inquiries in a similitude of bullets shot by a loaded weapon. One's greatest weapon is the usage of wordism, and Sōsuke had excellent mastery in it.

❛ It would seem that a few of our soldiers have gone missing. ❜

❛ Do you happen to know what had occurred during my absence in the stronghold? I trust that you will present your response with honesty. ❜

Irony was evident in the form of the emphasized word of trustfulness. A connotation that one with utmost reign abhorred to maximal capacity, as a higher wholeness suchlike himself had no need for such notion. Yet, not many can escape its grasp, with eventual subjugation following afterwards.

Closed Starter for @loveshard based on this.

At the start of this she hadn't known that the man was married. That he had an entire family and she was just some mistress. However once she found out it didn't stop her from sneaking into his office or on occasion even his home just to spend time with him. Perhaps to him she was just some young thing to fuck but she had grown attached. The gifts, the attention, the sex wasn't bad either. That night she was caught sneaking out, she had thought that was it. What she didn't expect was to be spending the entire summer with his family because for some reason his son had decided that he'd lie to his own mother and claim her as his own little fling. Why? She didn't have the slightest clue but she was sure she'd find out sooner or later on this trip.

Wren sighed as she set her suitcase down on the bed. It was the only bed in the room that she would be sharing with him this entire summer. The suitcase filled to the brim with clothes, newly boughten by her lover because everything that she owned would make her stick out like a sore thumb. She didn't look up from her now unzipped bag when she heard the bedroom door open "Is this what you thought would happen when you decided to become the hero?" She questioned with a raised brow.

Agatha had never expected to be back in front of Rio, after everything that had happened, she had hoped the other would leave her alone, as she had told her she wanted. But, she also knew the woman didn't exactly like ghosts, so being here, before her, as the one thing she hated most? It was a bit ironic, if you asked her.

"Have you come to take me?" She asked, knowing that she was not ready to go, not ready to face their son. No matter how much she loved him, she also worried he would never love her again after all was said and done.

"I still don't want to go with you. Not when the Maximoff boy still needs me."

@noctudreams asked: "due to personal reasons. imma lose it." from chuuya to dazai!

" ' personal reasons ' is such an interesting way to talk about ' anger management issues ' , " he says , a grin stretching across his face . honestly , it's not fair to chuuya for dazai to comment on his anger ( especially considering that the reason his partner is close to losing it is most definitely dazai's fault 99% of the time ) , but what kind of partner would he be if he didn't comment on his dog's tiny, little shortcomings ?

" but not to worry , slug ! as your only favorite partner and unhelpful armchair therapist , i can confirm a crash out is 100% valid and the correct choice to make ! " is he only encouraging this crash out so he can record it and put it on a pay per view website ? maybe and if he is , that's his business , thank you very much .

@timelostobserver liked for a Lil Lucid Verse starter!)

Heaven has indeed partaken in many questionable endeavors, but the latest one truly seemed ghastly. The creation of a new seraph from the very same dust as their fallen brethren. And not only that, but crafted in his image as well. The name to many felt like a mockery of their lost brother, a full future replacement for what Lucifer Morningstar could have been. And despite heavy disagreement against this angels creation, it was done and a new life was brought into existence among the other seraphim.

Lucid Eveningstar, the future Angel of Dreams & Illusions, is nothing more than a wee cherub in the beginning. Created as an infant to raise and guide instead of serve and obey from the start. It’s hopeful that this growth will allow better shaping and development for the angel Heaven needs and to curb any unwanted behaviors early on. They could not risk another Lucifer, and this is the only chance they have at creating a proper replacement.

Of course the baby is none the wiser. His needs are simple, but demanding, and like clockwork Lil Lucid is passed from brother to brother to be cared for among the Archangels. Some are more diligent than others, and still the young angel seems to have a knack for getting into things.

Small hands reach at a long cloth hanging over a table, gripping at the fabric. The cherub pulls at it playfully, blissfully unaware of the knick-knacks on top. Each tug scoots them ever closer to the edge, one thumping over against the table top as it’s jostled.

Unimpeded posture had graced the lands of Magnolia, with feet impaled upon the cold cobblestone. Strictness was evident upon canvas of gallantry. Distinguishable supernatural prowess was generated from one hand, and momentarily thereafter an inanimate object resembling of a sword had made an appearance. Grasping it, chocolate complexions would hurl a scrutiny at her surroundings.

There was something lingering. Something unfamiliar to her.

" Oh wow, this place is so fancy!! " Briar giggled, climbing on every single surface she could within the clinic. " It also smells like blood, a lot of blood. Oh are you like me?! Is this your nest? Sorry for intruding!! I couldn't ignore the sweet smells coming from here it was like a buffet!! "

The golem straightens herself up in front of the traveler, standing inside the clinic shuffling her feet around excitedly.
