Note

Could you tell us more about your stigma?

((Gonna answer this one as mun because I need to yap. Thanks for the ask, anon!))

Tw: mentions of blood through cutting or some sort, reviving the dead for revenge and to torture them, and literally exploding hearts (the organ)

It's pretty long so grab a snack or something.

Maia 🥃

Stigma: diarolumans (Andromalius)

"Andromalius is a mighty Great Earl of Hell, having thirty-six legions of demons at his service. He can bring back both a thief and the stolen goods, punishes all thieves and other wicked people, and discovers hidden treasures, all evilness, and all dishonest dealing. Andromalius is depicted as a man holding a big serpent in his hand."

In a nutshell Maia can revive the dead BUT ONLY GHOULS AND HUMANS! And only one person at a time. There's no limited time on how long she can keep the soul on Earth but for as long as she does tally marks will appear on her left hand and spread to her arm.

To activate it she needs to physically touch the dead body with her left arm and then handcuff them to her (with her handcuff artifact). Those that she revived will first writhe in pain from how they died and her artifact is supposed to lessen those pain while also bind their soul to her. Anything that she ask of them, they have no choice but to do it. But because of the limited time and the side effects, Maia only use it to questions dead assassins/individuals who killed themselves/being killed to cover up a case.

The longer the soul stays, the more tally will be cut on her arm by some invisible force. She won't feel much if it's ordinary cut but since the pain of the dead person is being transferred to her (i never said it'll disappear), the pain of the cut will be 3 to 5 times worse.

It's like keeping a soul prisoner and her skin is the prison wall. It's where those prisoner will keep count. The time each mark will appear are also different from soul to soul. If the person died willingly, the tally will appear more often because the soul would rather escape her. It's different when she's reviving someone who was murdered instead – like a witness, for example.

The longer she keep them, the more tally will spread; the further those marks spread, the closer she is to go berserk. She's never gone berserk in her life so she never know what it meant but her theory is that once it reaches a certain point, she won't be able to control it and she will become an open portal for the dead to return to earth.

Also the tally marks will never disappear. They'll look like tattoos to her after that. That's why she always cover her left arm and also wear one glove.

Hence why she only use her stigma when she reach dead end, when she really can't find another lead to solve a case. The price is just too high for her.

But one time she use it to revive Ria's kidnapper/stalker that she killed herself. A bullet to his head wasn't enough she brought the bastard to life without using her artifact. The things she did to him was so inhumane and she only stopped when Ria was screaming crying begging for her to stop because she knew about the side effects it did to Maia's left arm. Now Ria hates it whenever Maia has use her stigma and she will hate on anyone who make her use it no matter the reason.

Ria 🍷

Stigma: eos (Ose)

“OSE, or VOSO. – The Fifty-seventh Spirit is Oso, Ose, or Voso. He is a Great President, and appeareth like a Leopard at the first, but after a little time he putteth on the Shape of a Man. His Office is to make one cunning in the Liberal Sciences, and to give True Answers of Divine and Secret Things; also to change a Man into any Shape that the Exorcist pleaseth, so that he that is so changed will not think any other thing than that he is in verity that Creature or Thing he is changed into."

Ria can control and listen to people's heart(beats). She can even detect someone's presence in the room based on just that. Just like Maia, her stigma only works on ghouls and humans.

If she wants to threaten someone, she can make that person's heart beat faster or slower without even touching them. But to make their heart stop is another thing because she has to make physical contact with the person's vein – mainly on the wrist or neck. She's a literal heart-throbber. She can literally explode someone's heart if she wants to.

She can tell whether someone is lying to her or not based on the person's heart rate. Hence why no one can ever trick her in business dealings and that makes her one of the reliable sources of information in the institute (whether she wants to give that information or not is a different thing).

Back then (from 1st to 2nd year) Romeo would want her to be present when he's interrogating some rat. And it was easy for her to say yes too. But now that their relationship is not like it used to be, they had to go through a series of argument (through their minions) to work together.

"What's the price for such stigma?" Her own heart ❤

Her heart will never belong to her. It's a stigma that plays with her heart so she can play with others. She will always bound to love someone and she's not in control whether that person will return her feelings or not.

Did I mention she can control people's heart? Yes. EXCEPT those that she love. She can't hear their heartbeats. She can't detect their presence, she can never tell whether they're lying or not, she can't play with them in general. It's like she's facing another people before she made a pact with her demon. If she wants them to return her feelings, she has to do it old school way, unlike when she's toying with someone she wants to take advantage of because she will know how and what to do (she doesn't even have feelings for them to begin with)

Unless she love that person. And once she does she will love them to death. Literally.

Despite not being able to feel their beating hearts, the second those hearts stop beating (dead), she will feel like her heart is being ripped apart forcefully to the point of her crying blood and the only thing she would want is to die with them.

Moving on is not an option either. Sure, they don't have to return her feelings, but her heart remain theirs till the end of time. She can bear the pain of seeing them with someone else, but not when they die.

Also, if that person were to hurt Ria, she can't do anything about it. She can't ask or threaten them to stop and she can't defend herself. She can never bring herself to because those that she love automatically become her greatest weakness.

It's basically "your heart is safe with me" in literal sense. Giving her heart away to them is the same thing as giving them the dagger to use as they please. They can even use it to stab her and she can't do anything about it.

Currently there are three people who are her walking weakness. Maia is one of them and the only person Ria can hold on to (for now).

Who are they? That's for another time but what I can tell you is that not all of them are romantic love.

Absolute Trouble

Characters: Hoshigumi (Taiga Hoshibami & Jyuria Hoshizumi)

Summary: First friend; first real family. A story of a troublemaker and his only follower from back when they were kids – The Tiger and The Snake.

Word count: 2,3k

A/N: Yes as the summary says it's a story of two brats. it contains profanities and a bit of angst and a mention of blood and a shitty father. They're both 10 year old in this story and I know their hair probably didn't look like the art back then but I couldn't decide whether their hair was all white or not since Taiga's current hairstyle could be dyed. Anyways-- pardon my grammar mistakes, this is not my first language. In fact don't point it out or else I'd cry. Also it's been a long time since I went to a carnival so my bad if I got the shooting game part wrong lol.

Ria only had one thing in mind when she stepped into Sinostra, that’s none other than to wash her hands and face in cold water and let go of all the germs sticking to her skin. None of her minions were there to welcome her as the working hour hadn't started yet, and her surroundings were dead quiet too, no ghouls or humans lurking nearby—not a single heartbeat in her ears.

Without a care, she pushed the door open with barely any strength, only to find out somebody had broken in before her, and that person was standing still in front of her minibar, staring at a peculiar object sitting on the bar counter—in which Ria forgot to take back to its usual confinement.

“What the fuck are you doing here?!” Ria shouted at him.

There are only two people that can come into her office without permission. Maia is one of them, but despite that she never visits when Ria isn’t there–let alone without letting her know.

The other one is Taiga.

One reason was because he’s the boss of the house, and the other was because he’s one of the people she couldn’t detect through heartbeats, so she might as well give him a free pass to her private office rather than let people come up with strange theories. She even gave him the security number–not that he would remember it anyway. But it seemed like he just proved her otherwise.

Even before she took another step towards him, she already knew what he’d been staring at. Yet a part of her wished she was wrong, at least for this one time.

“Hey, Riri…” His eyes never left that small–fluffy thing, seemingly trying so hard to remember what it was. Where he had seen it before, when he had seen it before. “What’s this thing…?”

♦♥

“I want the kitten one!” The little girl pointed at the kitten plush being hung in the middle, with its colorful fur among the other eye-catching prizes.

“That’s small fry to me! I can get you something much better and cooler, like the tiger one over there! Watch!”

Normally the little girl would cower in fear by now. It’s not their first time sneaking out but usually when they did they’d hide around the house– just enough to be away from adults’ watchful gaze. Yet there they are now, at a bustling carnival where they could lose each other at any time. But Taiga said it’s where so many fun games are and that it doesn’t occur often in their area, and not being able to go out often made her agree to most of his invitations no matter how dangerous they could be. So who’s to blame now?

“I wanna play!” Taiga said to the booth attendant. He reached into his pocket to retrieve some crumpled money that he stole from her house.

The attendant looked down on them, that crooked smile hidden behind his ugly moustache. He didn’t even bother to take their money. “You can’t win, kid. Get your guardian and come back here.”

Something about the way he said it made Ria feel uneasy. He reminded her of her father’s guards – they reek of smoke and talk like pirates. Those people never failed to make her skin crawl. She moved closer to Taiga and whispered, “...Can we just go, Bami?”

“No way! Didn’t you say you want the prize?” Taiga stole the rifle from the person beside him. “Give me that. Watch how a winner does it, loser.”

The attendant got up from his seat and almost shouted a warning, but Taiga shut him up by shooting all three clowns at the top row without even a second break. The kid Taiga stole from couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

“That's so cool! Bami is so cool!” Ria hopped excitedly as she clung to his arm.

“Heh. Never underestimate me!” With a proud grin on his face he pointed at the booth attendant. “You, give me the prize! The white tiger in the corner.”

He scowled and took the money Taiga put earlier. “Don’t come again.”

Taiga handed the plushie to Ria, looking dead straight at the guy. “Don't worry. I'll aim at your head next time.” If there's one thing everyone should fear him for, it's how good his aim is. All from watching guards shooting with a real gun before. “Thought you could scam me…”

Ria noticed the change in his tone. A warning that things are about to get ugly. She tugged at his sleeve. “Bami… let's lea– AAA!”

“There you are, lil’ princess! Your daddy's been looking for ya!”

Someone picked her up all of the sudden from behind. It's none other than Ria's assigned guard – one of her father’s men whose job was to “protect” her from harm. Not knowing that it's either his foul cigarette breath or dirty hands from touching God-knows-what that would kill Ria first. Probably both. And this time he brought his other ugly friend to catch the two kids.

“BAMI!!” She screamed out his name. The stuffed toy slipped out of her grip and fell.

Taiga aimed the rifle at the man and managed to land a pellet on his eye. He yelped in pain and fell onto the ground – must’ve hurt being shot from close distance – Thanks to that Ria could be free from his hold. But when Taiga was about to target the other man he realized he had no pellet left, so he used the weapon like a bat and hit him where it'd hurt the most – between his legs.

“RUN RIRI!!” Taiga shouted as he continued to beat the adults with all his strength. She held back a sob as she hurriedly got up from the muddy ground, putting one foot in front of the other as fast as she could against the crowd of people.

“Ughh– get up you fucker! Yer gonna let a 10 year old beat your ass?!” Ria heard her guard scream.

Where am I going?

“S-sorry! I'm sorry!” Bumping too many people as she ran, she couldn't even get a glimpse of those faces she apologized to. The neon lights that she found pretty now made her dizzy. Her lungs felt like exploding and her feet might just snap anytime soon. How far are they? How much longer must I run?

Then she remembered Taiga whom she left behind. She let out a sob— the guilt washed over her like a bitter medicine stuck in her throat. I left Bami all alone. He's my family and I left him alone.

It was as if nature agreed that she's a bad kid—the sudden gust of wind made her trip on her own two feet. But she can't expose herself out in the open like this, she must hide. So with all the strength left in her, she hobbled her way to the nearest alleyway. She sat beside the nearest bin, hugging herself as her teeth couldn't stop clattering and her tears couldn't stop from falling.

“Bami…” she cried.

Ria wondered what would happen to him. Is he safe? Ria could only hope he also ran away somewhere. Away from her father's men. Because her father is never one to hold back from giving severe punishment to anyone he disliked.

Doesn't matter if it's his own daughter, let alone Taiga.

For someone who never looked at her daughter, he sure meddled in a lot of Ria's business. She couldn't go out of the house as she pleased, she couldn't make friends with anyone, and she's not allowed to talk with those coming in and out of the house – those strange women who seemed to always cling to her father for some reason. Ria wondered why she couldn't receive the same amount of attention they're getting from him, making her question what the true meaning of family was.

That's until she was introduced to her distant relative – Taiga. A mischievous boy who screamed chaos when he entered the room. The first information she heard about him was that he often transferred school for being a troublemaker. But to her, he's her first friend, her childhood hero.

Her first real family.

Everyone said that Taiga should mind his manners, he should be more polite, he should be this and that, but Ria wished he would stay this way forever. She didn't care that he's a bad influence, or that she would turn into a troublemaker like him, because when she sees that silly smile or playful glint in his eyes, the world doesn't seem so… empty. When she screams, she wouldn't be greeted back by those sad echoes, but by Taiga's mocking laugh calling her crazy.

She simply wished she was strong enough to protect his laugh… for the rest of her life.

“I hate you…” she mumbled under her breath. “I hate you, daddy.”

“I thought we agreed to not mention your papa when we're playing.”

She could tell who that cheeky voice belonged to. She could tell anywhere. Without thinking twice Ria got up from her spot and jumped at him. “Bami!”

“Yuck, you're crying again. Always the crybaby Riri.” Yet despite his words, he hugged her back anyway.

“Meanie…” she sniffled.

“Yeah, yeah, stop crying now. Here, you left your doll there. You can cry with this thing now.” He showed her the tiger – it's a little dirty on some spots. Hopefully they're not blood.

Taiga spoke in a different voice, “Gao! I beat those guys real hard to protect Princess Riri! Now you have to reward me with some fresh meat! Gao!” He playfully attacked Ria's face with it, making her giggle. He would never say it to her face but her laugh can be contagious sometimes.

“Then I shall prepare Mr Tiger with the best fresh meat I can find in the empire!” Ria said with a laugh. Her heart ached knowing that she wouldn't be this happy tomorrow. “I wish I could laugh like this everyday…”

“Am I your stupid jester now, Riri?” he faked a sigh. “You should know that I'll always be the king!”

“Well… you're right…” she mumbled. “Maybe that's why we can't see each other often. Bami is the mighty king, after all.”

Taiga went quiet. It's just some stupid title, why so serious…

“Even peasants can go see the king, y'know. As long as they bring him enough gold.” He grinned. “Hey, Riri, you recognize this hairpin?”

There's a gold snake hairpin clipped to his hair. It's a bit funny to see a boy wearing such a thing, especially Taiga. Not to mention he didn’t clip it correctly. “That's mine! It must’ve fallen earlier.”

“And I found it there, so it's mine now~”

“Well, I was planning to gift you something anyway…”

“Really?! You were planning to give me a hairclip? It's way too girly!”

“Dummy… you didn't even refuse earlier.” She carefully adjusted the hairpin. “You can’t return it now. It’s yours! So don't lose it.”

“Or what? You'll cry again?” Now that she stopped crying, he wasted no time teasing her again.

“You like my tears so much, Bami? Well I can get angry too!”

“Yikes. I think you should leave the angry part to me. What will you do with that anyway? Hit your big bro?”

“Pfttt– Hahaha!” It’s so ticklish hearing Taiga call himself that. It's warm but Ria would probably take some time to get used to it. Who would've thought about adopting someone like Taiga as their brother? Anyone would have to be crazy to do that.

“Laughing now? You got what you're praying for so don't regret it in the future! I don't accept returns.”

“If you don't start acting maturely as you grow, you'll become the little brother instead, Bami.”

“Never~ Because Riri is always the crybaby!”

♦♥

“Fuck I'm hungry,” he whined for the thousandth times. “Feed me, Riri. Take responsibility for your big bro.”

“How many times do I need to remind you that we're not siblings?!”

“Being all angry doesn't suit you, y'know that?” Taiga poked the tiger plushie, Ria could see the corners of his mouth turned up – and for the first time in a very long time, he looked like someone she was familiar with. The version of Taiga she used to admire when they were kids. Suddenly he shot her with, “I know that look.”

No, he doesn't. “No, you don't.”

“C'mon now, Riri, you never wear a mask around me.”

She hates that it's true. In a way. “People change.”

“I don't. I'm still your family.”

“Oh yeah? Where's that hairpin I gave you, then?!”

“Jeez, so you are getting pissy over that,” he grimaced. “I'll look for it later. It's probably somewhere in my room.”

“I regularly take care of this plushie and that's how you treat my gift?”

“Quit nagging, will ya? I'll wear it everywhere I go once I find it. Happy now, princess?”

“Ew, don't call me that.”

“Right. Because that's how the dudes in this place are calling you. Now I should come up with another unique nickname even tho I call you that first.”

“You're going to act jealous over that?!” Ria put the last glass she just cleaned to its place. Surprisingly, she found it alright to do something productive while he’s around. “You know what? I think you’re way too hungry to even use your brain, Boss.”

“That’s what I've been sayin’ since earlier!”

She giggled. “So what do you want to do? Raid Jabberwock?”

“Took you long enough to come up with a good solution. You can use your pretty face to distract Harry while I take his mouse.”

“You do realize Romeo is going to strangle you for this, right? You're basically picking a fight with another house.”

“Nah, he can deal with it.” He got down from his seat. “Life should be exciting when you're surrounded by your family. You should know that well by now.”

Two wicked pairs of green eyes filled with mischief staring at one another. Grinning from ear to ear, Taiga extended his hand to her. Like devil's invitation to chaos.

Jabberwock has no idea what's coming.

“Our new adventure awaits, Riri.”

A Tie that Binds Us

Characters: Maia Hasegawa & Jyuria Hoshizumi

Summary: The first encounter of Maia and Ria was a bloody one. Like a story of a knight saving a maiden in distress, but Maia was not the first to reach a hand to her, it was none other than a demon.

Word count: 1.1k

A/N: The game story never mentioned anything about how the pact is made between a human and a demon, so I'm just making shit up <3 Also I'm briefly talking about her stigma here.

Her gaze fixed on the rim of her glass. A lipstick stained glass. Her head lay down on the table as the tip of her finger danced over the top of it. Has the alcohol got through her head already? Not likely. I don’t know. Maybe Mickey’s new stuff was stronger than usual.

“Have you… have you ever thought about what would happen if we never met?”

Maia, who had not said anything, stayed silent still. It must be a question that’s been on Ria’s mind for some time, but she understood where it might have come from.

🖤

“Ma’am? Can you hear me?”

The blaring sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance, even their spinning blue and red lights managed to enter through Ria’s window. It felt like some pathetic opening from a movie about a fucked up teenager who got caught by the FBI. Well, it’s not so far off from the truth anyway.

She used to pray for this to happen. For the authorities to raid the place and get their grubby hands on the entire establishment. All the dirty secrets this place holds; all the sickening deeds that’s brewing in this hellhole. Ria wanted them to discover everything and put an end to all of this.

But for now, not even her knees are strong enough to help her stand.

So loud… They’re all so loud…

Not the sirens, not the foot stomp of people clearing the building, not the shrieks of prostitutes having guns being pointed at them.

Ba dum… Ba dum… Ba dump…

It seems far in the distance. Calm before the storm. A panther that’s ready to strike upon command.

Thump- thump- thump- thump-

They surround the area. The sound of excitement mixed with fear, intangible from each person. So many things are happening outside…

“M-my head…”

“Hey now.” The person stopped Ria from falling. She sounded like a girl, probably one of the guests that’s clearing this house. Yet her hand felt warm on her shoulder, like a sincere touch of a friend. “Looks like we’re not so far in age. Can you please tell me your name?”

Ria wanted to look up at the person in front of her, but her clothes were already torn and the disgusting scent of blood couldn’t leave her nose. If she were to move away her entire body would be exposed for this person to see. Not to mention the blood. Oh she could feel it drying on her hands – hers and others – trying to become one with Ria.

“Ria…” she said meekly, barely enough for this person to hear. “Jyuria…”

“Ria,” that person repeated. She didn’t ask Ria to look up, but her fingers already worked their way of tucking all the hairs gently. It’s distracting. It made Ria want to fall deeper and surrender her entire being to this officer. “Will you let me call you that? You can call me Maia. You’re safe now.”

Ria wanted to laugh at the word. Safe. How surreal.

“Maia…?”

“Yes. That’s my name.” She put her jacket on Ria’s shoulders.

“Are you my savior?”

Maia chuckled. “I would say that’s childish but I can’t play with the victim's emotions. So I guess you can say I’m your savior.”

“Oh… savior…” Ria could feel all adrenaline leaving her body after so long. She wanted to faint, to let herself rest. Maia’s shoulder seemed like a perfect spot at the moment. She’ll catch her like before, won’t she? So Ria took the gamble and let herself go.

“Whoa there… I got you.” Maia wrapped Ria in a warm embrace. Could it be that it's not her first time dealing with emotional victims? The thought left a bitter taste on Ria’s tongue for some reason.

“For your information, we’re going to see more of each other in the future,” she mumbled. “And I’m already hugging you like this.”

And Ria wanted to say that her laugh already gave her comfort. That it drowned everyone’s heart beats in her mind, and since her ear was so close to her heart that she didn’t want to hear anyone else’s. Ria wanted to hear hers forever. To stay in the arms of her savior and drown all the thumping and beating of people’s treasured lives.

Sadly, it was the curse she must bear.

Precisely, it’s the ability she paid for. With her own heart and soul.

Will she ever regret it, she wondered.

To be able to detect someone merely from the beating of their heart. Their presence; their emotions; their lies, she hears them all.

“You can even break them, if you wish to do so.

“A heartbreaker, in the flesh. Beautiful flesh.”

So many hearts to break; to ruin. All in the palm of her hand.

Human hearts… they always sound like a ticking bomb.

Tick, tock, tick, tock…

Ba dum… ba dum… ba dump…

What will they do when the time is up? Will they snap, will they run, or will they grab the nearest object and break your neck with it?

“No need to find out when you can make them explode like,” the creature snapped its fingers, “... like so.”

The creature must’ve sensed her curiosity. Curiosity is good. “At the price of…” it pointed at where Ria’s heart resides. “That.”

My heart.

To have all the hearts I ever want in the world…

All except my own.

“Ose, my dear conjurer.” The creature had turned into a beautiful man without Ria knowing. His kissed the back of Ria’s with much affection and mysterious glint in his eyes. “A pleasure to be one with you.”

Ria hugged Maia tighter. The kiss the demon had left left a burning sensation on her hand. She couldn’t believe she did that – devouring a demon. For now Ria can still feel her own heart beating in her chest. She can sense Maia’s too, as her cheek was pressed close to where hers is.

“My savior,” she called.

“Hm?” They’re both now sitting on the floor, with Maia still embracing Ria. “Hate to ruin the moment but it’d be embarrassing if you don’t quit calling me that in the future.”

“Meanie,” Ria mumbled. But it was enough to lift her mood up. She never knew she’d be glad of hearing the word ‘future’ before. “Do you have friends?”

“I don’t know. Maybe?” Probably not.

“Can I be yours, then?”

“As long as you quit calling me your savior.”

“Hahaha,” if Ria could jump happily, she would’ve done so by now. Who wouldn’t be happy for finally making a new friend outside of the whorehouse? “Nice to meet you, Maia.”

MaiRia's Relationship Chart and Appellation

credit to @/lesbianmido for making this chart!

Further detail below because I need to yap. Also Maia is an ex-Ultio and might (or might not be) involved with certain Darkwick incidents in the past. Same as Ria but she's always been in Sinostra. Some of these things are subject to change.

I am not in any way disregarding their characterization to the canon, I am merely interpreting them in a way that would fit to my original characters' interactions with them. If you don't like my interpretation, or if you're a non-sharing yume, you might want to step away.

Also these are hella long.

1. Maia's

Maia prefer to keep her nose out of Frostheim students. Mainly because the ones in power (Jin and Tohma) never poke into her business first. Sure the general students have reported her and Ria to them a few times due to some silly drama that those students started, but it's not worth having bad blood with someone who has influence in the police department.

Maia -> Jin: Tyrant Jin -> Maia: Lowly cop Maia -> Tohma: Three-eyed Creep Tohma -> Maia: Inspector Hasegawa

She feels indebted to Alan for accepting her in Vagastrom. She hoped to share his burden by being vice-captain but Maia was missing from Darkwick's radar because of her work (she was even presumed dead at one point). If you add that to her already-strained relationship with the institute, appointing someone else to take the job was the perfect way to spit on her face. At least that's what she feels about it. Regardless, she take it upon herself to be useful in Vagastrom by bailing those thugs students from jail. Of course they'll still be punished but it's in terms of Alan and Maia. She respects his way of handling them but still thinks he's being too soft sometimes.

Maia -> Alan: Mido Alan -> Maia: Officer

She dislike Leo for carrying the title of Vagastrom's Vice-Captain, but she still acknowledge his effort in fulfilling his duties– the results at least. She doesn't like that he tend to mess around and abuse that power, but as long as he's not putting the house in danger she could let him do whatever. And that doesn't mean Leo is free from having a target on his back either. The second he messed up Maia won't hesitate to take over his title. One day she would expose his police record (which she already has on her hand) to the public but she would rather use that for later.

Maia -> Leo: Mutt/Kurosagi Leo -> Maia: Bitch (behind Maia)/Miss cop

Sho sees her as somewhat a mentor. Like Alan, she order ask for some rounds in the Pit. Still, she's not as brutal as to go multiple rounds like Alan because she has other things to do. Maia would never say it out loud but she wouldn't be as resentful if Sho was the vice captain instead of Leo. But then again she's also aware he would abuse it for Leo's sake. He still thinks she's scary until now but there are times when she actually acts like a human being too. "Sometimes you're a bitch, senpai. But I've spent years with a meanie (Leo)." He feel a sense of pride whenever she compliments his cooking– making her one of his favorite HTH customer.

Maia -> Sho: Sho Sho -> Maia: Mai-senpai

Maia has some dirt on Haru and that makes her scary in his eyes (it's not that big of a deal, to be honest. It's just that Maia acts like she just discovered kilograms of cr4ck in Jabberwock hence why Haru is always on his toes). They used to be drinking buddies though even if only a few times. She sometime visits the safari for a jog and it's free of charge as long as she visits during closing hours.

Maia -> Haru: Sagara (Sagara-san) Haru -> Maia: Sir Maia

When Maia visits the safari and run into Towa, he would help her with physical training a little. Towa sees it as... more of a play-time but Maia doesn't care. He loves playing hunt-the-anomaly (no anomalous creature harmed) with her and hearing her talk about her case. The bloodier the better. Towa is like her personal therapist and trainer (please seek actual help, Maia)

Maia -> Towa: Towa/Towa-sensei Towa -> Maia: Sakura 🌸

Taiga creeps her out in a way that he's too unpredictable to figure out. One of Maia's specialty is solving ghoul crime and capturing them, so she hopes to never see his name on any of her case. Taiga remember her as the friend of his relative (Ria) and Maia wants it to stay that way. She does not want him to remember her name nor call her out. Maia doesn't want anything to do with him ever.

Maia -> Taiga: Hoshibami Taiga -> Maia: Lily's (Ria's) friend

Maia dislikes Romeo for two reasons: he is Leo's close friend, and that he had a history with Ria. Not a good one. Back then Romeo thought he could really use a high-ranking cop in his network but changed his mind after Maia made it clear she loathes him for what he did to Ria. Even though Ria herself choose to turn a blind eye on what happened, Maia continues to dislike him still.

Maia -> Romeo: Bastard Romeo -> Maia: Dog

Maia learned that Ritsu is a part of Shinjo family who had some history of making it difficult for criminals to meet their punishment. It's infuriating especially when their clients are criminals that Maia had caught with her own blood and tears. She might be a rule breaker despite her job as the upholder of justice, but there's a line to how far you can play with the law. Even though she bends the law here and there to her advantage, a punishment is always necessary when things go too far no matter who you are. But when a Shinjo is involved, any criminal can walk free if they have enough money to afford it. She hates that Ria is so doting to that Sinostra freshman, and now she's the only thing standing between Maia and her plan to balance the score with that family. As for Ritsu himself, he thought about one day partnering with Maia as he could use someone with her expertise. Had Maia wasn't so hostile to him, he could've looked up to her.

Maia -> Ritsu: Little Shinjo/that junior Ritsu -> Maia: Inspector Hasegawa

Maia has a good relationship with the current Hotarubi ghouls and she exchange friendly greetings when they pass by. She often see Subaru lining up in HTH, so they'd indulge in a little chit-chat as they wait for their turn to order. Maia knows about Subaru's mission (Lyca) but decide to keep her mouth shut about it since the order was from the Institute.

Maia -> Subaru: Subaru (Subaru-san) Subaru -> Maia: Maia (Maia-san)

Haku and Maia are also on good terms. Although they both seem to always half-ass their way when it comes to duties but at the end they still get the job done. She was disappointed when Haku decide to quit smoking since they're both partners in that area. Now she wouldn't stop bullying him for it with "Have you found that light(er) you're looking for?"

Maia -> Haku: Haku/Priest Haku -> Maia: Officer

Maia doesn't know Zenji still roams around as a ghost. Nothing much going on between them other than Maia finding his eccentric act amusing. If he was alive, she would love to chat about her crime cases with him. He would get new materials to work with and she got to feel that the things she'd done were not as bad as she thought they were. (Zenji was her #2 therapist after Towa lol)

Maia -> Zenji: Zenji (Zenji-san) Zenji -> Maia: Supreme Detective

She's always on guard when it comes to Edward because Maia was involved in kidnapping catching him, he could be holding some resentment and Maia would understand. But this is Ed we're talking about. The strongest ghoul she ever hunted. She couldn't care less if she's the one being targeted but she couldn't shake the feeling that Ed knows Ria's stigma— and now he is the reason Maia won't ever let her near Obscuary. Even interacting with any of students from that house will result in big argument between the two. Ed finds the irony very amusing and she does not take that in a positive light. Does she trapping him in this place or does she the one being trapped with him?

Maia -> Ed: Bloodsucker/Hart Ed -> Maia: "Hunter"

Maia knows Rui and Ria are friends, and knowing that she's being all buddy-buddy with a flirt irritates her. The big reason is despite his complaints about taking care of the vampire he's still an Obscuary no matter what, and Maia will do anything in her power to keep Ria away from anything or anyone relating to that. Rui once took a signal wrongly (and flirted with her) and it did not end well for him.

Maia -> Rui: Mizuki Rui -> Maia: Inspector

Maia only goes to Mortkranken for a small check-up or when she need sleeping pills. OR when she's badly injured that she needs to take off her left hand glove. She only let Yuri to treat her since he's the only one that knows about her stigma effect (besides a small number of people). As long as he keep it a secret, she will not sniff around on his experiments. With or without with a warrant. She dislike hospitals in general so she prefer to stay away from that place as much as she can.

Maia -> Yuri: Doc/Isami Yuri -> Maia: Hasegawa

2. Jyuria's

Ria and Frostheim general students tend to have problems a lot. Even though Ria is always too busy to care, these rich snobs would still want to poke her with mommy and daddy's money just for the sake of revenge. Well, everything that Ria did was all in the name of defense (supported by Maia). Fortunately, Jin and the Captain's bitch – Tohma – never put much thought into any of their silly conflict (thanks to Maia). Although she wished they could be her client one day so she can plant one of her spy even for one night but Tohma would most likely not let it happen. Having a patron like Jin would benefit her a lot but at the same time why would he ever need in the first place? Especially in that sort of thing. But hey, a girl can hope and that monocle is always standing in the way. People would think Tohma and Ria flirt with each other when it's all sarcastic remarks in the air.

Ria -> Jin: Your Majesty/Momma's boy (behind his back) Jin -> Ria: - Ria -> Tohma: Mr. Tohma Tohma -> Ria: Madam Ria

Despite not directly interfering with the casino, she still knows what's happening there from time to time. Meaning she's aware that Kaito has been playing cat and mouse with Romeo for some time. Lately she heard from one of her minion that he has trouble getting a girlfriend— and people like Kaito are simply Ria's favorite. A pathetic fail-guy who longs for love. A perfect client for her to find a match through her matchmaking business. Although if he's just looking for an arm candy to bring as lucky charm in the casino, he can still come to Ria and pick one of her talents. Or a few! Or even Ria herself if he could afford it! Kaito almost fell into her sweet trap numerous times but refrain because Romeo would be standing behind him in seconds. What's more terrifying than having a stalker screaming about your debt in front of a Hot (capital H) chick?

Ria -> Kaito: Cutie (for business purposes) and Kaito (Kaito-kun) Kaito -> Ria: Madam

Alan's aloofness sometimes makes it difficult for her to talk to him. But since Maia respect the guy, and that a friend of her best friend is also Ria's friend, she will treat him as such. One time Alan accidentally scared a pushy guy away with tail between his legs, it was comical. Ria is always open if Alan wants to work for her as a bodyguard.

Ria -> Alan: Mido (Mido-kun) Alan -> Ria: -

With Alan it's, "The friend of my best friend is my friend". But with Leo it's, "The enemy of my best friend is my enemy (and I will be 10 times worse than her)." Leo is eating up all drama surrounding Ria and doesn't hesitate to tease Maia about it– which most likely will earn him to lose a teeth or two had Alan not interfere. He got to say that he agrees with the public opinion that Ria is attractive, so a scandal with her is always an option in his book – that is until Romeo gave him that look of disappointment with a hint of something he can't quite put a finger on which intrigue Leo even more.

Ria -> Leo: Romeo's bitch little sidekick Leo -> Ria: Pimp Chick

Haru is a good friend of hers. She loves to have friendly-flirt with him in Rui's bar right in front of the owner. Haru is well-aware that they can never be a thing so he might as well enjoy whatever she throws at him. She genuinely laughs at his jokes and sympathize with his complaints (especially when it's about Taiga) which he really appreciate. So whatever things they do or say, they're all stay in the bar as little secrets between the three of them.

Ria -> Haru: Harry (Harry-chan) Haru -> Ria: Lily (Riri-chan)

Towa is simply adorable in her eyes – not in a way she would flirt with him but it's more like how she would act around a little baby. But make it one hell of a big baby. She love to hear about him from Haru and she also like to feed him flowers when she's not busy – in which a lot of them are expensive flowers she used to decorate her private office. After all, a friend of Haru (who is not a a headache to him) is a friend of Towa ;3 (Ria's words)

Ria -> Towa: Towa (Towa-chan) Towa -> Ria: Stargazer Lily

Despite the two being distant blood relatives, Ria is not that fond of Taiga and would prefer it if people doesn't label her as "Taiga's family" when they first get to know her. Of course it wasn't always this way until he changed. Ria built the casino together; all three of them, with Taiga and Romeo. She love the place as much as they do because it stands as a symbol of their bond, but after what happened she couldn't bring herself to handle things like she used to. Her feeling of dislike mostly comes from fear because Taiga doesn't act like someone she once knew. He's now a stranger in her eyes, and up until now she's still trying to familiarize herself with whatever is possessing her boss.

Ria -> Taiga: Boss/Bami (childhood nickname) Taiga -> Ria: Lily (Riri)/Crybaby (childhood nickname)

Rumor has it that Ria and Romeo had a past before. Everybody knows the three Sinostra seniors were always glued together but Ria and Romeo had a different relationship. They had a world of their own until things were changed. No one dares to find out why. Even as small as mentioning her name in front of Romeo would result in a sudden change of air. It is said that the big reason she stepped back from the casino was because of him, resulting in three of them having each of their own faction inside of Sinostra. Romeo and Ria give each other the cold shoulder and would rather send their minions to deliver messages instead of talk things out (mostly about the casino when it's absolutely necessary for her to be involved)

Ria -> Romeo: Romeo Romeo -> Ria: S.I.B (Sad-Ignorant Bitch)

Ria dotes on Ritsu like a big sister would do to her little baby brother. She would stalk follow him around like some crazy fan and will die of cuteness every time she sees him working hard on his case. You know... the type that would go "KYAHHHH >///<" and SHE WOULD MELT INTO PUDDLE OF MUD THE SECOND RITSU GREETS HER WITH A SMILE EVEN THOUGH IT'S A FORMAL GREETING! To her, his existence in Sinostra is like "a breath of fresh air in this bleak and murky house." Whatever the hell that means. Her dream is to one day being able to squish his cheeks with both hands, after that she would die peacefully. (Ria are you a pervert wtf...)

Ria -> Ritsu: My Little Ritsu/Ritsu-chan Ritsu -> Ria: Ria-senpai (She forgot to include her term of greeting in their contract. Initially she wanted him to call her "big sister" or "nee-chan" but the best she could get is being called senpai by him and even THAT negotiation took a long time to consider on Ritsu's part. Which is pretty understandable if he wants to keep things professional after receiving her signature.)

Unlike with Maia, Subaru finds interacting with Ria is rather eerie. Her boldness scares him a lot and you don't find people who can tell you're nervous from the sound of your heartbeat every day. She tends to make him feel visible when she's around, and it's not in a good way. Sad to say he's the only one feeling that because she likes teasing him. But she's also not looking forward to another one of Maia's scolding when she gets too far for teasing the poor guy.

Ria -> Subaru: Kagami (Kagami-san) Subaru -> Ria: Jyuria (Jyuria-san)

"You look lonely. I can fix that." By suggesting him to use her service and find a partner, but sadly he always refuse. She doesn't flirt with him but would definitely flirt with MC when she's caught walking with him.

Ria -> Haku: Haku Haku -> Ria: Madam

Swanky guy who loved to praise her beauty and Ria ate that shit up every time because she knew all of them were sincere. Zenji did not try to get anything from her in return like other guys. She literally couldn't understand why people would dislike him let alone hate him. It's unfair that someone like Zenji was gone so soon.

Ria -> Zenji: Zen-zen Zenji -> Ria: My Dear Pearl

She met Edward only once during her visit to Obscuary and that was also when she found out her stigma couldn't detect his presence— which was scary. Any hearts that she couldn't detect nor feel could only mean one thing, but in Ed's case it's because he doesn't have a heartbeat to begin with. As for him, Ed is simply curious on why his captor – Maia – is so hell-bent on never letting Ria step foot in his lair. After that encounter Ria is more cautious on her business visit.

Ria -> Ed: Mr. Hart Ed -> Ria: Young Lady

Rui loves Ria like he would to his own sister and so does she. He's the one who taught her all about mixing drinks up until she runs her own bar in Sinostra. Rui rarely leaves the two (Haru and Ria) when they visit because of a certain friend. That friend never asked him to do anything but Rui was perceptive enough to understand and do something about it. Sometimes he feel bad for keeping secrets from him. He wish that one day the four of them can be sitting together in the same place so he doesn't have to watch out for them like keeping eye on two broken ex-lovers who hate each other but couldn't let go of one another.

Ria -> Rui: Mickey Rui -> Ria: Ririn

He's amusing to tease but she would rather keep things professional with him. She often borrow students from Mortkranken to check on her talents' health and indicate whether they were exploited during their working hour or not. Even a scratch will not go unseen and she will hold them accountable for hurting her employees.

Ria -> Yuri: Doc/Isami Yuri -> Ria: Hoshizumi (Hoshizumi-san)

Ria's Past, Stigma, Relationships, and How It's All Connected: An Essay on Love.

H-hahaha yeah lore dump (not a fic) let's go! This is 2.8k words long... and it contains toxic depiction of love. It's angsty and can be upsetting to some.

If you're not into reading lore that involves romantic feelings towards a canon character, you might want to step away from this. Especially if you don't want that character to be Romeo.

Last thing before you read this, I need you to turn off your brain regarding the canon in-game story. There's a possibility that you would find some things to not make any sense, particularly in the part where the lore happened before the in-game story take place. They're simply the changes I made for my own lore and that doesn't mean I disregard the canon.

TW: upsetting theme – s3x slavery and father who doesn't know how to father

I mentioned Ria's stigma briefly (yes briefly) here and I said that it doesn’t work on the people that she loves. Well, her stigma might not have any effect on them but it very much affects her – because the second their heart stops beating no matter where they are, Ria will want nothing but to follow them to the other side, and there’s no way she can get out of this.

This, is her curse.

And in this essay I will be talking about it in detail.

How Ria’s stigma works is that it can manipulate people’s hearts by slowing it down and vice versa. I took Nina Zenik’s ability from Six of Crows but made some twists of my own. The day she made the pact with the demon Ria could hear people’s hearts, and after some time of getting used to her ability she doesn’t hate the crowd as much. On a certain radius if she concentrates enough she could tell how many people are around and she can even determine whose heart it belongs to. Basically no one can sneak up on her nor lie to her (she’s her own polygraph). Of course it’s not always 100% accurate but it’s has better rate of success unlike my gacha results I mean *cough* What the hell was that? Anyways– this stigma also makes her good at gambling. Typically the ones like poker where the players are more involved. Her opponents might have a terrific poker face but by pulling the right strings – and hearing the right beat – you can guess the cards on deck and rule the game.

It’s not exactly like how Romeo’s stigma works where the more attached he is to the object the bigger the impact, but the more she dislikes a person, the more their heartbeat rings in her ears like a blaring siren. Kind of like when you hate someone you’d find everything about them repulsive – yeah, that. While on the opposite side, she can’t hear/feel let alone control the hearts that belong to the people she loves. It's “Your heart is safe with me” but you don’t even remember giving your heart to her, but she will keep it safe for you anyway. Oh to be loved by the person who’s never properly loved.

The next is “Why?”

Why this stigma? Let’s take a look at Ria’s past.

Ria had a bottom bitch for a mother and a father who owned the brothel. Yes, her mother was a sex worker. Ria never knew her mother but the other ladies who also worked there said that she’s as beautiful as her mother and that’s all she knew. None of them knew much about her past other than her being one of the top earners and that’s what made her close to her father.

Her father’s night business had a few branches – thanks to its patron being filthy rich old men with weird fetishes, but after being caught commiting sex slavery, he was sentence years in prison. Maia was involved in the case and after knowing what he had planned for his daughter, she made sure he got what he deserved behind bars (with Ria’s full permission).

My point is, Ria was born without love, and didn’t experience love as she grew up. She kept wondering why her father never paid attention to her and why he had kept her only to be sold off to some old man. All that time and energy wasted away ended up being another disappointment – she wished people could be more honest with what they’re feeling. If you love, pour your heart into it; if you hate, make it known to the world and shout it out loud from the top of your lungs.

And if people don’t think twice about playing with her heart, why should she be considerate of others?

In this fic the demon said that Ria gave her heart in exchange for this power and it’s more or less true. SHE STILL HAS HER HEART ALRIGHT but it’s just that she wouldn’t fall in love like how normal people would because those that she loves will be her walking weakness. Here’s their “exchange” in a nutshell.

Ria: What’s the price?

Ose: Your very own heart.

Ria, thinking they meant she would never fall in love ever again: Cool! Let’s do it.

Ose: Pleasure doing business with you, my dear.

Ria after knowing what would happen to her when her loved ones got hurt: Ose you son of a bitch–

It’s blissful if Ria and that person love each other. She can protect them and devote her love but it’s hell if it’s one sided – especially if that person hates her. Moving on is not even an option here so that means when she falls in love and the person doesn’t reciprocate her feelings, it’s hell on Earth for Ria. Giving her heart away never meant that the demon took it, but the person she fell in love with will be the one keeping it. Whether the person wants to bleed the heart dry or put it in a glass display for safety is entirely up to them (it’s a metaphor) and Ria can never do anything about it. Putting her trust in a person is the last thing she like to do yet at the same time can't get out of.

Once she falls in love it’s falling in love to death for her.

Because once the heart of her heart-keeper stops beating, she would want nothing but to follow them to the other side.

It hasn’t happened in the story but the second it does she will feel like somebody is holding her heart tightly and yet is trying to rip it apart at the same time. The pain will be so unbearable that she will have blood for tears and will be begging to have her life to end. Nothing else would matter than reaching them even though they never loved her back.

Her stigma is one big joke. She had all the reason to stop believing in love and was prepared to lose all feelings related to that. After multiple betrayals she knew better than trusting another human being. But now she had her own heart betraying her. She wouldn’t survive long if she can’t figure out what to do with her own feelings. She would have to live on thin ice constantly if she can’t keep her loved ones close to her.

As of now there are three people that she loves to this extent. First is Taiga (her distant relative. first family that she considered real family), Maia (her first best friend and savior), and Romeo (first romantic love). These three people are the only people whose hearts she can’t feel nor control – Ria’s walking and living weaknesses.

“Taiga is her family so how can he return her feelings?” There are many types of love here alright and even though Ria acts all tsundere little sister to him she actually loves him so much that she would want nothing but happiness for him even though the price is everyone’s peace and safety. To her, Taiga's existence in her childhood days were priceless. Living under her father as nothing but a meat to be sold while wondering why she wasn't loved by him, and suddenly Taiga crashed into her life like it was nothing, teaching her that she needed to have more fun in life. Maia might be her savior but Taiga was her only reason to not give up on those days. And thanks to him, most of her happy childhood memories had him in it. And despite their current relationship, Ria won’t hesitate to sacrifice her own happiness for him. Even if it kills her.

Ria and Taiga lost contact for a few years and ended up finding each other at Darkwick. Despite not being the biggest fan of the whole mafia theme at first, Ria, Taiga, and Romeo built the casino together. Ria was in charge of the casino’s entertainment until she decided to step back at the end of second year. She still involves herself with the casino through her hustle (you can rent a company of her talents while you enjoy your time in Sinostra. And no – no sex allowed. Ria specifically trained them to understand all the games in there to help the customer win. It’s like a cheat code indeed but hey, none of them are as accurate as Ria and why not live a little dangerously? Just don’t get caught. Or just plant your own loyal dealers <3).

Taiga is the main reason she never wanted to move to another house (to be with Maia, for example) even though the air between her and Romeo is not as good as it used to. But she’ll never tell him that. Of course Ria isn’t there to prevent him from causing chaos, the only thing she cares about is to stop him from hurting himself badly over some stupid reasons.

Maia found Ria in that whorehouse that belonged to her father. Out of the three people, Ria is most possessive with Maia. They’re not putting any labels on their status (like dating) but Ria is glad that she can still wake up every morning knowing that Maia will never stab a dagger right into her heart — and that’s just more reason to never let her go from her grasp. Even though Maia sometimes acts nonchalant and cold, they swore to never leave each other and hurt one another. You can consider them soul-sisters or soulmates who will do anything for each other. Maia is usually indifferent when people confess to Ria but Ria hates it when people are eyeing Maia as their potential love interest, especially when they seek Ria’s advice for it (sometimes I need to remind myself that Ria runs that matchmaking thing). In her eyes Maia only belongs to her and no one can ever love her the way Ria does – and Maia will do the same to Ria without question. A big part of her possessive tendency comes from her fear of not having a strong hold on the other two people. Maia’s way to return Ria’s feelings is to be her most trustworthy individual that Ria can always rely on. The only thing that worries Ria is Maia’s way of living – which can lead to health issues and kill Maia in the long run.

Ria and Romeo used to be in a uhh… some kind of rather comfortable situationship from 1st to 2nd year of Darkwick. Romeo used to be able to get in and out of her private office whenever he pleased and they used to spend some nights in private just chatting and trying out some… shady substances that Romeo was trying to sell. Right now Romeo is the reason why Ria quit smoking because she never even did it before she met him (yes, smoking became the thing that she associated with Romeo). Maybe you can say that the reason Ria fell in love with him was the most cliche reason out there like he’s pretty or that she wanted to help him heal from his past, but what did it for her was how honest he was about his own emotions. He expressed his anger when needed and he rewarded people when they deserve it. Yes, everything he says is unfiltered but Ria will take that any day than wondering what the other person actually means and what their real intentions are. It’s exhausting to be around people who always hide.

Either way, whatever the reasoning behind her love, it won’t change the fact that the second he dies the story is going to be Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet pretty quickly.

To her, Romeo’s beauty was so blinding that there's no way people wouldn't feel the same way she did back then. HELL even now she still thinks he’s beautiful as she gazes at him. She wanted there to be days where she could say that he’s beautiful without any worries – without thinking that it’d be weird for her to say those praises, but it’s all in the past now. Romeo is her first and possibly the last romantic interest she’ll ever accept into her heart.

After watching him for two years, she came to realize that there will never be a place for her in the vast sea of his ambitions. And Ria fully understands that, she too has her own plan to execute by the time she graduates. But with her own heart that’s always ready to betray her, she would run to him the second he offered his hand. She hates it – she hates to love him. She hates that Romeo would take dangerous missions not knowing what it would do to her. She hates that Romeo had to suck up to Hyde to achieve what he wants. She hates that she can’t do anything that can sate his greed. Ria would offer the world beneath his feet if it’s what he wants from her – that’s just how far her love can go. And it’s scary for her. All the things she would do to gain his love is scary and she is well aware of that.

Every time she thinks she has a grasp of what love is, Romeo would walk in and remind her that he is the impossible last piece of the puzzle that she can never have – Jyuria’s heart is forever Romeo’s but not the other way around, and it never will be.

If there’s someone that can grant what Romeo wants, it’s Taiga. And Taiga needs Romeo as well. So who is Ria to deny them of that? She could only hope that they would be happy as she sat there praying they wouldn't betray each other one day.

Speaking of Romeo and Juliet, Ria’s name (Jyuria) was actually from Juliet but I didn’t want it to be that obvious so I changed it to Julia or Jyuria (or Yuria/Yulia if you may I really don’t care) and then gave her an even shorter and simple name – Ria. In that story Juliet died first and then followed by Romeo AND THEN Juliet. Pretty much the same thing that would happen here too. If Romeo dies, Ria will want to follow him. But if Ria dies, Romeo wouldn’t feel that way. In a nutshell, Romeo and Ria dynamic is “Your Atypical Romeo and Juliet Story” (very cliché contemporary novel book title yeah)

While we’re on the topic of dynamics, I need to mention Ria’s name. Hoshibami means star’s dwelling (correct me if I’m wrong) while Taiga’s surname means star eater. And they both want the same thing – no I refuse to elaborate further than this.

But I do think of this post a lot.

Towa’s nickname for Ria is “Stargazer” for short of Stargazer Lily. It’s a lily that blooms facing the sky – or stars. It represents unlimited meaningful possibilities that are there to pursue. But really, the reason Towa gave her that name is probably because of her painful gaze towards a certain someone.

Out of three people, Maia is the only person that knows about Ria's stigma in depth. Taiga probably knows too but he doesn't show it, while Romeo has some theories. He knows she can tell whether someone is lying through their teeth or not (he used to trust her with questioning rats and in business dealings), but he doesn't know that her stigma doesn't have any effect on him. He noticed that it's not easy to sneak up on her but there are multiple times when he tried and succeeded. Romeo hasn't figured out why he's different. Can you imagine how dangerous it would be for her tho 💀 I still don't have the heart to be that cruel.

Romeo is the reason those love letters coming her way always get rejected. The reason for so many confessions that leads to heartbreak. She can’t even blame them for liking her but at the same time – deep in her heart – she wished all of this would just stop. Rejecting people has never been easy for her because Ria herself will always live in fear of rejection. Romeo might not be here as her lover, but as a lesson.

Her greatest mistake. A never-ending Tartarus that calls to her. A fault star in the sky that’s forever lovely in her eyes.

You might think that Ria was stupid for loving them in the first place but that was literally the price of her own stigma. Her heart will never truly belong to her anymore. She wouldn’t help but fall in love and want to devote her all to those people – they will become her Achilles’ heel and there’s nothing she can do about it. If they want to stab her in the back, she won’t even defend herself. Because every ounce of attention, be it good or bad, is considered love language to her. To be conscious of those that can harm her but completely vulnerable at the same time, all because she loves those people blindly. To have the power of literally breaking people’s hearts at the price of making hers fragile… What's so different from a curse?

• Who does your OC love? (platonic)

• Does your OC love anyone? (romantic)

• Who would your OC most likely to get a puppy-crush on? (but it can’t be the cc they’re actually shipped with!)

• Is there someone your OC didn’t like at first, but then got along with later?

• What is the worst thing your OC does in their story?

"Ria."

"? None."

"None."

"Isami...? He was noisy when I first knew him, he was even worse than Ria. But after some agreement we're prettymuch ok now."

"Using my stigma is more or less immoral. But then again that depends on who I use it on and what I do with them."

– Maia 🥃

"Zenji 😢. Rest in peace you swanky man. Sometimes I still hear your songs around school and that makes me sad even more. Mai and I miss you lots 💔."

"A girl doesn't tell 🥰"

"Such a silly question! I don't do puppy crush. I literally just got married to @ask-akira-shimizu yesterday and we're happy. Right, dear? 😉🥰"

"His Highness Kamurai. I didn't have personal grudge with him or anything so there's no need for you to find out more about that. Now that I don't see any reason why I should stay that way, we're now getting along ok."

"Not thinking clearly on who I should give my heart to... knowing it could cost me my own life one day. But then again, do you really love if you're careful about it?"

- Ria 🍷

Campus Story: Love Lesson on Fragrance

Cast: Jyuria Hoshizumi & MC

[ Ria's Private Office ]

Ria: You're finally here. Take a seat. MC: (I sit across Ria) So, what do you need me for? (Ria dumps a bunch of envelopes on the table in front of me) Ria: They're love letters. Open them and read the contents for me, please~

MC: > ...

MC: > (Take one letter)

MC: Aren't these for you...? And you're letting me read them...? Ria: Indeed. I don't wanna touch them but the least I can do is hearing what they have to say. MC: You sure is something... Ria: Why? They're no different from love dove. Lots and lots of them have been flocking towards you, am I wrong? MC: (Should I be surprised that she knows that much?) MC: This one smells different. Ria: Oh? Let me. (Ria smells the letter and then her face scrunched in disgust) Ria: Sauvage. Burn the letter. MC: Wait, why? Ria: Lesson one, only immature boys use that perfume. Second lesson, not only they're immature but also stingy. Run immediately if you ever encounter one. MC: (Not the lesson I expected to get in this institute but still, I'll try to remember it)

Cast: Jyuria Hoshizumi & Yuri Isami

[ Darkwick Classroom ] Ria: Hey Doc~ Yuri: ...What Ria: Brr, so cold. You're becoming those germs that you hate so much. Yuri: Watch your mouth, you witch! Before I stitch your lips myself! Ria: Scawwy! You sure you're not saying that because you want to touch them? Per-vert~ Ria: Y'see, Maia and I, we're betting on the color of your undies right now. So be a good boy and give me the answer, will you? Ria: And don't worry, no stripping needed. Yuri: H-Huh?! Wh-Wh-What are– Ria: Hmm... is it yellow? Probably not. Is it grey? To match your uniform and stuff. Yuri: Hoshizumi, I'm going to slice you if you don– Ria: Oh! It's red, isn't it? Yuri: ..?!! Ria: Ah- there it is~ Your heart skipped a beat there. You're so easy, Doc Ria: That means I won. Mai, you owe me lunch! Yuri: Hoshizumi...!!

Four because there's two of you lol

🍳 "Are you a good cook? Do you enjoy cooking? What's your favorite thing to cook?"

😷 "How often do you get sick? Do you stay at home when sick or do you end up going outside to, say, get some groceries? If you go outside, would you wear a mask?"

🥼 "Do you have to wear a uniform somewhere? If yes, how do you feel about it? If no, what kind of uniform would you love to wear?"

🧋 "What's your go-to thing to drink? Do you prefer cold or hot drinks?"

Maia 🥃

🍳 I've never cooked complicated meals. Since i'm so used to moving from one place to another usually i just grab whatever i can find on the way. Now that i'm back in darkwick and have more time on my hands, maybe i'll try to upgrade my cooking skill. Whether i enjoy it or not i can't really find the answer to that. I mean I don't hate it but if there's other people that can do it for me, i'd rather buy from them (god bless HTH).

😷 I don't get sick often. Maybe because ghouls just don't...? Well, i've never gotten sick in my life unless it's an injury and it got so bad that the higher ups in the police department had to handcuff me to the hospital bed. I guess they hate to see their hunting dog out from her job for too long.

🥼 My job is kind enough to let me wear whatever i want as long as i bring them desired results. At least during the investigation process. So yes, i go undercover sometimes. Unless when i have to face the higher ups, i have to wear formal attire like how you see in modern detective series (but usually i'd rather let the other guy do it for me). What i'm telling you is even if you work with cops, you can do whatever as long as your skill make up for it. Other than that it's darkwick uniform.

🧋 Coffee. I prefer ground coffee that's made by a barista. The opposite of instant coffee. Other than that it's monster energy but i'm trying to quit that.

Ria 🍷

🍳 I love cooking! I just choose not to do it often because i will only cook for my loved ones and that person being Mai ♡. Sometimes for Bami when i really have to. At least in the past because i don't want to bother myself with anomalous cuisine. I like to cook healthy recipes because somebody has to do it and it won't be Maia, hahaha. I'm trying my best to become a useful roommate for her in the future.

😷 I used to but not anymore now. I was prone to fever when i was little and i had no one but my tiger plushie to keep me company 💔 If i do get sick now i don't have to do any chores, my minions will do it for me.

🥼 I dislike the idea of uniforms unless it's branded and i can costumize it myself. Back in my... previous job, there was no uniforms unless you count revealing outfits as one. Did i hate it? No. Would i avoid it? Yes. Good thing i can costumize my uniform here in darkwick.

🧋 Wine! Because it's simple to prepare. Chamomile tea for the non-alcoholic choice and i prefer it hot~

Campus Story: Body for Hire

Cast: Maia Hasegawa, Jyuria Hoshizumi, and Alan Mido

[ Darkwick Hallway ] Alan: ...can I entrust that to you? Maia: Just who do you think I am? I'll drag him back to the garage when I see him. Alan: Alright, thanks again, officer. (Alan start to walk away, leaving Maia to wait for Ria) Ria: I'm back. Was that Alan? Maia: Yeah. Ria: (She watch Alan's back disappear to another direction) Maia: ...What are you doing? Ria: Does he need a job? Maia: What kind of job? Ria: Oh you know... Ria: A hunk like him is always sought out in the partner-renting market. Maia: You're joking, right? Take a good look at him and tell me if he has any sort of experience in that field. Ria: Oh come on, we'll never know unless he jump straight into it. Ria: If not, I can always take him as my bodyguard. Maia: ... Ria: Heh, are you jealous, Mai? Ria: Wait, are you jealous because you don't want your job to be taken away or because... the other thing...? Ria: You're not cheating on me with him, aren't you?! Maia: Bye. Go to class on your own. Ria: Mai!! Answer me first damn it!

Jyuria "Ria" Hoshizumi Home Screen Lines

Credit to @/danieyells for the template

*I added a new type of voice line of my own at the bottom

Hello: (the first time the game is opened after that character is set as home screen NPC. Only happens once per day, unless the character is switched out and back.)

"There you are, MC. Have you given it some thought? What do you mean by what I mean... My offer to work with me, of course."

You've Got Mail: (whenever there's something in the inbox, usually Arena rewards)

"Is that a love letter? Let me see! Not a love letter? Well, I can always write you one~"

Default: (requires no affinity, has no time constraints)

"Have you seen my favorite junior? ...You haven't? Of course I'm talking about my Ritsu."

"🎵~ It's so quiet. Where the hell is everybody? Oh, right. Yesterday was quite hectic."

"You thirsty? I've been trying to make this new drink and I want you to be my judge."

"You look tired, MC. Did Romeo give you too much work? Why do I know...? I know more than you think ♡."

"Here. My business card. Call me whenever you need a relationship advice, matchmaking service, or even a partner rental. I will provide you with the best of my ability. D-Don't look at me like that! You look like you need a lover, that's all!"

Affinity 1: (between 5am and 11am)

"Class? Mai is not attending, I don't see why I should either."

Affinity 2: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Has anyone told you you look cute today? Don't tell me the first thing you hear this morning is Cornelius' kittens calling you to his office."

Affinity 3: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"You always seem nervous around me, MC. I literally don't bite. That's Bami's specialty. Kidding~ I might bite when asked politely."

Affinity 4: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Sweets! Finally! Come closer, MC! We're sharing these. Or do you want me to spoon feed you?"

Affinity 5: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Help me, MC. Red or black? Wrong. It's black. Good guess, though."

Affinity 6: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"You seem tired... Poor girl. Pretty girl like you shouldn't be treated like slaves. It only takes one sign and I can make it all go away. What do you say?"

(But you can't really get rid of her curse now can you)

Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)

"So much better profit than last week~ Good job to all of my minions. I'll be sure to reward them for their hard work."

Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"I can't skip dinner again, or else Maia will scold me... Well, I can always scold her for pulling an all-nighter."

Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Can you deliver this document to Maia? ...Actually, nevermind. I can't afford Vagastrom's vice captain to get his hands on this."

Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Ahh... This mask feels so good on the skin. You should grab one and try it too. It makes you want to doze off as soon as you put it on."

Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)

"I know what you're thinking about me and Rui. 'Two flirts in a room and they're not trying to undress each other?!! That's sooooo weird hopefully the world isn't ending tomorrow.' But we're just casual like that. Both of us would rather go for you."

Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)

"I found out one of my minions is planning to stab me in the back. What a shame. But I have no choice. I need to punish as hard as I reward them."

Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Did you see Ritsu looking for Bami earlier? Had I known he would chase me around I wouldn't sign his papers so fast..."

((FUCK even I feel embarrassed typing this and i am HER CREATOR))

Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)

"Don't be fucking ridiculous. My business is not even close to brothel! If I see any clients looking to sleep with my talents, I will cut their throat myself."

Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)

"I can't go to out for missions now... That fucking Boss of mine—what should I do with him."

Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Can these stinky boys keep their distance away from me?! I clearly said no and I'm clearly out of their league. Next time they approach me I'm sending Maia to kick their asses."

Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Are you ok...? Can't sleep? I can make us both a drink, if you want."

Affinity 18: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Never lie to me, ok? I hate liars. And I'll always know when you lie."

Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Do I play in the casino? Only when a client can afford me as their lucky charm—which not many people can. Only for you, though, I'll gladly open a free trial."

Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)

"Hey, MC, have you seen that thirst trap edit on TikTok about Mai? That's Romeo's bitch doing. Tell me where he is now so I can stop his heart from beating."

(Romeo's bitch=Leo. It refers to Maia's affinity 20 as well.)

Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Miss me already? You do?! Hahaha. One score for me~ Let's go MC! We're going on a date now!"

Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Hmm...? Blood? Ah. It's nothing. Just... a nosebleed. Nothing to worry about."

Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)

"A client came to my office asking to be matched with Maia. Had he not pay in full upfront I would've diced his brain by now.

Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Slut... Whore... Nothing new on Wickhive. I wish these people can get a little bit creative after all these years when talking about me."

Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)

"You precious thing... whatever it is that I can do for you, never hesitate to tell me—even if it kills me to fulfill. Everything that your heart desire, won't you give me permission to grant it?"

Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)

"Nothing is bloodier than spring in the fashion industry, be it for the brands or the customers. Someone, get me my tablet! I need to check my credit score."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"There. Beautiful. Can you believe that Maia picked these flowers herself? To think that she thinks so little of herself when it comes to pretty things."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"I just had some fruits delivered here. Won't you stay for a bit longer? I'm making us something healthy."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"I'm planning for a cherry blossom picnic. It's an annual thing for me and Maia—in which I myself have decided. By the way you're coming too, MC."

Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)

"MC, catch! Don't forget to apply the sunscreen regularly, okay?"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Ugh, why can't we have a pool in the house... Wait, I have enough budget to make a private one here."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"We're running out of ice pretty fast these days. Should I just buy an extra refrigerator..."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Yikes. What is this song? I don't care if it's one of those trendy summer playlist bullshit, I still don't like it. It sounds tacky. Change it to another."

Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)

"Sorry for the wait. It took me some time to look for my autumn outfits. I find it more difficult to dress up during this time of year."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Are you one of those pumpkin spice latte girl, MC? Be honest."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"The pastries are the best during this season. I wish we can have these limited ones all year round."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"You should take my scarf. You need it more than me. No, no, don't mention about price. Come here I'll wrap it around you."

Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)

"Winter vacation... Usually I tour Europe but that's what I've been doing for the last couple of year. It's getting a bit boring now.

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Let's build a snowman. You make Romeo, I'll make Bami. After that we'll throw snowballs at them."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Let me tell you why winter is the best for my business. Since so many students are coming back home, the parents expect them to bring back a partner to introduce to the family. Where will they run to when they need to rent a pretend-partner? Exactly."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Next time you see Maia sneezing, can you take a picture? Pretty please?"

Her birthday: (January 5th)

"Tell me you're not forgetting what day it is. Don't you dare intentionally piss me off only to surprise me later. I do not tolerate jokes on my birthday."

Your birthday:

"MC! The star of the day! Now sit still and let me dress you up for your birthday. Trust me, you will not regret putting your life in my hands. Just be a good girl while I do my magic."

New Years: (January 1st)

"I hope to celebrate next new year with you. Hmm? Too soon for that?"

Valentine's Day: (February 14th)

"I knew you'd pick me for your Valentine! I'm truly the best pick in this place. Hey, don't pay attention to those presents behind me. They don't matter like yours do! Pay attention to me!"

White Day: (March 13th)

"I spent a whole day arranging these flowers at the thought of you. So here comes my gratitude and affection—all in this one bouquet. I hope I can make you smile like that for days and years to come, MC."

April Fool's Day: (April 1st)

"MC... Listen... You won't believe this but there's this guy I've been seeing— Huh, you actually don't believe me? You're either sharp or too confident in yourself that I'll never pick anyone besides you. I do hope it's the latter."

Halloween: (October 31st)

"Me and Maia should really dress up as Wednesday and Enid. She's the Enid. She's the one with pink hair, after all."

Christmas: (December 25th)

"Move, everyone. Your Hot Santa is here to spank the bad kids and reward the good ones. Mommy have spent tons for these presents."

Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)

"A pretty girl is right in front of you and this is how you treat her?"

(13 affinity and above)

"Ignore me for 5 more seconds and see what happens. 5... 4... 1!"

Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)

"Have I always been your second option? I don't like being the second option... You wound me, MC."

About others (opinion on other ghouls, asked by MC)

About Maia:

"Did she tell you about following me to the depth of Tartarus? I knew it. Well, it's pretty much the same for me. She can't take care of herself without me, you know."

About Taiga:

"Bami... He's... special. He had seen me cry many times back when we were kids. Some days he traumatized me, some days he protected me. I know I act harsh around him but I'm still adapting to whatever it is that's happening inside of his head. He's the only blood relative that I consider as family, after all."

About Romeo:

"The prettier the rose, the deadlier the thorns. It doesn't matter if you're trying to preserve it or kill it out of selfishness, it will eventually bleed you. And the second you look away, those stems might trap you already and you didn't even know it."

About Ritsu:

"Of course I'm going to keep things professional between me and my Ritsu. I just can't help but feeling giddy because he'll be the key to so many of my revenge. We're going to be the best partners; me and him."

Note

You two have artifacts, right? Why don't you tell us about them? Tell us about getting them for the first time--did you have any kind of special experience? Did anything draw you to them in particular? Have you customized them in any way, or are they the same as when you got them?

((Thank you for the ask! I've been meaning to talk about it actually))

"I'll answer first." Maia clears her throat. "My artifact is your typical police standard handcuff. Just without the key. There's no keyhole on it."

Maia pulls on her artifact keychain and then pull out something from her behind. She put the two things side by side to show you what she mean. "I don't costumize my artifact because... I don't see why I should. Only I can use them anyway and I can't let the person I'm securing to think I'm unserious."

Ria butts in, "Only you would think that way."

Maia shoot her a menacing glare. "I am NOT letting you put feathers on them." Earning her a scoff from the girl.

"Meanie."

"I heard that." Maia sigh. Years of friendship clearly did not stop the scold that follows after Ria's inappropriate jokes. Feathers on handcuff? No way.

"I had it before I entered Darkwick. I've heard cases where artifacts speak to their chosen owner upon first meeting, but mine didn't.

"I know it's not exactly a combative artifact. Still, we're made for each other. It does what my head wants it to do so I never need to shout orders.

"I don't need to personally touch criminals to escort them. Those scoundrels won't run away either because this thing will hold them in place for as long as I want. I told you earlier that it doesn't come with a key, right? That's because I am the key."

"Sounds sexy, Miss Dominatrix. Why don't you try it on me because I've been a bad girl~" Ria says seductively as she twirl her hair.

"Get the fuck out."

"Take me out yourself ♡." She winks at her. "And you forget the fact that you're sitting at MY bar, my pretty little Maia."

"ANYWAYS–" Ignoring Ria's comment. "The downside of this is it only works with humans and ghouls.

"...and inhuman ghouls." She adds after a brief silence, her expression darkens. "Yeah. Anomalies are not included. The only thing I can do to those creatures are obliterating them – which is not exactly what Darkwick wants."

"Ah! Is it my turn?" Ria pulls on her keychain. It's a beautiful handfan with leaf made of black lace – a striking but dangerous contrast to the sharp, silver blade for ribs. The blooming red rose will make you think of unseen blood stains that were once trailing down the small blades. When it unfolds, the sound of metal clashing against one another will send shiver to anyone in the room. It's amazing that the lace doesn't rip during action when the rest of the fan seems heavy. "Pretty, isn't it? Pretty enough for you to ignore me; the prettier owner."

Maia roll her eyes at her statement. It must be an everyday occurence to her.

"In contrast to Maia's artifact, mine can be a combat weapon," says Ria as she fans herself with it. "But why would I fight? Beautiful girls should never use her muscle that way."

"Oh God here we go again," says Maia under her breath, looking up at the ceiling – exasperated.

"And Maia will always fight my battles for me. Isn't that right, Mai?" She's too busy downing her drink to even answer her. Too busy ignoring Ria.

"My stigma can do a good job hurting people without me needing to use it, but I can still whack things real hard with this. You must've seen Kagami's artifact, right? Since you had solved a mission with him before. His parasol can be deadly, so does my fan.

She's inching in to you – so close you can feel her warmth on your face. "But. . . I can show you the more fun part if you want. It'd be just the two of us~♡" If you have a unique taste in that area, that is.

"Cut it out, you'll scare them."

"I always knew you're the possessive type." Ria flips her hair, showing the proud grin on her face.

"Keep dreaming."

Ria chuckles. "Well, Bami and Romeo can have their guns, my Ritsu has that huge-ass book, I don't see why mine is any weirder.

"It’s a shame this pretty thing had to spend its time collecting dust in that room back then, before I arrived. Must’ve been lonely..."

Using her pointy finger, she presses on the pointy blade of the fan, making herself bleed as she watch the blood flowing out of her. "I've cut myself a few times with these... but now I don't anymore.

"Beauty is pain, indeed."
