Hiya Erika! May I ask for 2, 5, and 14 for….Vivian and Kai’ichi please 🥺?

Of course you can ask, Lyra! Ee hee hee~! Time to answer!

Vivian Faust

Greetings, Lady Lyra. I express my gratitude for your interest in my person. As such, I shall endeavor to answer your questions most thoroughly.

2) Who is your best friend? Tell us about them!

To pick an individual that I'm familiar with to elevate to the position of my closest companion feels potentially harmful to the relationships I have. Though since I'm being pressed to choose a person, then I suppose the one I feel most intimate with would be Opal Ideale.

Opal is a couple of years my senior but neither does she patronize me nor does she hold me to a standard of behaving in a manner exceeding my age. Unlike myself, whom finds greater comfort in the presence of few, Opal is an individual who thrives in the company of many others. She is able to coax me into more socialization and I, in turn, can detect when she's exerted herself and needs down time. There are more aspects to Opal that make her a treasured friend to me. She is a creative soul and encourages me to use art as a medium to express myself since... Otherwise, I struggle. And she has a willful spirit that means she won't allow others to trample upon her thoughts and wishes.

I do hope none of my other individuals with whom I share a deep familiarity with feel slighted by my confession... Although, if they did, that would lead me to conclude that they weren't as good of friends if their jealousy can be so easily sparked.

(Opal is @faewraithsworld's oc.)

5) What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

When I am idle and need an activity to occupy myself, I tend to go outside and explore.

The family manor is surrounded by a forest and while it is, essentially, my backyard, I can still explore it. I find amusement in wandering the land and taking in the wild environment. I hope to take my excursions further in the future. Perhaps even go so far as to peregrinate across and beyond the continent.

14) What are your favorite music genres?

The musical traditions from Hino has been appealing to me recently. The reverberation of reed flutes is soothing to me. String instruments like the biwa and koto give the sensation of my physical heart strings being plucked. Ah, and the taiko. The drumming of them begets such powerful reverberations in my body that I can pretend that I'm feeling my heartbeat...

Kai'ichi Yami

Yoroshiku, Raira-san! Thanks for asking me questions! I know I'm a cool guy that lots of people ought to know about! Ha ha!

2) Who is your best friend? Tell us about them!

Hooo! That's easy! My cousin Ann is my best friend!

She's just my age and has the energy needed to keep up with me! Actually, I'm the one struggling to keep up with Ann at times! We like to challenge each other at basically everything. Sparring, foot races, eating contests. A bit of competition makes any activity more interesting, don't you think?

Now of course we're not always acting like rivals! Sometimes, we just have fun trying new things that neither of us have ever done before! Ya' should've seen us trying to play some instruments! Ahahahaa! ... Turns out I'm completely tone deaf and I was kicked out of a music shop because I made such a bad racket. Not Ann though! Talk about unfair!

5) What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

Uh... Dunno. I do a lot when I'm not training or working. I walk around. I climb buildings. I find something to eat. Maybe I fall asleep under a tree.

Man... Maybe I should get a real hobby. 'Cause Shige reads poetry and okaasama does calligraphy. Am... Am I boring?

14) What are your favorite music genres?

Hmm... I like the music from home a lot but Clover has this style of music called "pop" that sounds pretty cool. I dunno why it's called "pop" though because the energy of it feels more bouncy. Like I wanna bounce on the balls of my feet. Ya' know? So maybe the genre should be called "bounce" instead?

AFRAID

Reigen: Great work as always, Mob! You’re not at my level yet, but you’re doing great!

Say Mob, are you ever scared of them?

Mob: Um.... well, about that....

Mob: It’s not that I’m not afraid.... Reigen: Eh?

Mob: It’s complicated. Regardless of how afraid I am, the people around me can’t see spirits.

Even if I’m afraid, no one can help me. It is what it is....

Mob: So Ive given up on fear.

Flashback

Mob cries

Mob’s Mother: What’s wrong Shige? Where does it hurt?

Mob’s Mother: If you only cry, mommy won’t know what you’re upset about.

Mob: gasp...hic....sob

B....b...behind

Its.... it’s behind me

Ngghhhhhhhhhh!

Mom...Help me.....

Mob’s Mother: Shige? Shige? Where does it hurt?

Mob continues to explain: They cant see what I see, so they cant understand. So I’ve given up on fear. There’s no point to it. 

What else could I do?

Im sure that....

......that this was something that...... I would face alone.

Huh? Master?

Reigen: You looked so troubled just now. So you ARE afraid

Mob: huh?

Reigen: Here hold on to me... and watch your step, it’s dark around here. 

I’m your master, you can leave it to me. 

Reigen: You did great today. As payment I’m taking you to my favorite ramen place! Is this place cleared?

Mob:...... yes

Mob: Ah! Master, I think there’s another one. It’s on your shoulder, sorry

Reigen: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

IDIOT WHY DIDN”T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER!!

I love her art style. All her work is beautifully drawn. 

I love this attempt on Reigen’s part to comfort Mob. Even though he can’t relate to this experience at all, he still tries... in his own way.
