Phoenixeclipse College AU Pt 2

Meeting Bai He The Monkey Cub

Phoenix's babysitter didn't show up for work so she had to watch her niece while at work. Sun Wukong and Macaque choose this time to come for a nice bowl of sorbet.

“EEK!” Scarlet squealed the moment her eyes landed on the small monkey cub that walked into her café holding the hand of her employee.

The monkey cub wasn’t taller than a foot, with wide blue eyes, dark black fur and a happily wagging tail. She looked up at the owner of the café with wide eyes that were filled with excitement and joy. She was adorable dressed in an oversized shirt that fell down to her ankles. Her shoes were old but rather sturdy.

“I am so sorry, the babysitter flaked out last minute. I came over to tell you that I don’t know if I can work my-,” Phoenix began to rapidly explain before she was cut off by the cooing redhead.

“She is so cute~! How come you never brought this darling here before!?” Scarlet squealed clearly holding back the need to scoop up the adorable cub.

“… Because this is work and… yeah,” Phoenix didn’t really know how to respond as her boss squealed and cooed over her niece. A warm feeling filled her chest at the sight. “As I was saying, I don’t think I’ll be able to stay for work…”

“Oh that’s alright. But are you sure? You said you really needed the money. Oh I’ve got an idea. How about I get some paper and crayons from my office. If she is well behaved, she can take the table in the back, no one goes back their anyways, but it is in perfect view of me and you,” Scar exclaimed her eyes sparkling at the thought before she rushed away without giving Phoenix time to respond.

She blinked in shock. Her boss would really be okay with that. Looking down at Bai He she saw a smile on the child’s face. Clearly, she was worried about burdening her aunt’s work, she had almost been in tears when her babysitter didn’t show up. She was so smart for her age and tried to keep everything clean and tidy around her. No doubt worried that she would have to leave her aunt like she did her mother.

Of course that would never happen, Phoenix was determined to keep her little niece safe and cared for. Seeing her boss express such adoration for the cub filled her heart with warmth and love. Scarlet truly was a gift from heaven if this was how she treated Phoenix and her niece. She had to hold back her tears as she took Bai He into her arms.

“Can you sit at a table while your auntie works?” Phoenix asked with a smile.

Bai He grinned a wide smile, the gap in her teeth showing proudly as she nodded. Ever the silent child she didn’t say a word but let her emotions be shown freely. With the approval from her niece Phoenix lifted her up and set her down at a table where she could keep an eye on her as her boss came running back out with a wide smile on her face.

“And here you go darlin,” She grinned setting down a stack of paper and a brand-new pack of crayons a proud smile adorning her face.

Bai He looked at the spread before her and gently picked up a single crayon with a smile. Her tail wagged as she started to silently color a concentrated look on her face. Once she made sure her niece was taken care of Phoenix turned to leave for the breakroom where she would change into her work clothes. Of course, she sped through it so she could get back to watching Bai He.

>>><<< 

Wukong glared at the man in front of him with anger. He dared to trespass on his territory with such pompous arrogance. The demon before him begged to be released but was only dragged away by Azure who had come looking for the very demon who had escaped his own turf. If not for his old friend wanting information from him he would have totally ripped the demon to shreds.

“Wukong, are you alright?” Macaque asked as he pressed himself against his mate’s back. With his taller form he cuddled his mate and could both feel and see his body relaxing.

“I’m fine,” Wukong growled angrily, he wanted to break something, destroy something but he had to push those thoughts away for now.

“How about we get you some peach sorbet, your favorite~” Macaque purred and grinned as his mate looked up at him, nodding in agreement.

“Yes, I think that would be acceptable,” Wukong agreed, that was just what he needed. Besides ripping someone’s head off, some peach sorbet would be delicious right about now.

With a single command his men left without a word. Sun Wukong was feared all over by not only his enemies but also his own subornments. Everyone knew not to deny him or go against his orders as it would only result in pain and suffering. With a sigh he summoned his nimbus for him and Macaque to ride over to Scarlet’s café where they liked to hang out.

The whole ride Macaque was cuddled up to him taking his mind off of the mountain of paperwork that he had to do. It wasn’t just the damned demons that entered his territory that had ticked him off, it was also the neighboring mafia groups that were snooping around and the paperwork that he absolutely hated doing. By the time that they reached the café he had calmed down to a moderate level and was calm enough to interact with other people.

Luckily, they had picked a time where the café was almost empty. The only patron seemed to be a young monkey cub who was coloring on paper. Their eyes spotted her and the two grinned, it would be nice to have cubs of their own, they had both expressed interest in having a lot of cubs to take care of and love.

Their smiles soon turned to frowns, however, when they realized she was sitting at a table alone. Macaque could hear Scarlet was in the kitchen while her only employee Phoenix was in the bathroom cleaning. He was the first to approach her kneeling to her level when she looked at him curiously.

“Hey there little one, what are you doing out here alone?” He asked with a warm smile, Wukong soon walking over to squat beside him.

The little cub looked up at him and tilted her head. She didn’t say anything as her eyes slowly turned to look at his ears. Her eyes widened and she reached her little hand out to touch it, Macaque flicked his ear as a smile covered his face. He let her gently touch his ear in between her little hands. She was so cute.

“She is so cute,” Wukong muttered before turning his head to her drawings.

Each drawing was of three people. Two older monkey demons and a little one. His eyes glanced at the monkey demon drawn with splotches of red on her head, it reminded him of… he heard a screech as Bai He was suddenly pulled into the arms of a protective monkey demoness. Harsh eyes glared at the two as she was cuddled into Phoenix’s chest.

“Excuse me, what are you doing with my cub?” Her eyes flared as she glared at the two smaller monkey demons with a fierce protectiveness.

“My apologies, the little one was alone, and we got curious. I realize that we must have overstepped some bounds,” Macaque explained with a short bow.

Phoenix didn’t back down growling slightly. Now normally this would irritate the two however, they knew that a mother was usually very protective over their cub. And it appeared the cute waitress was no exception, with her fur raised, her face twisted into a scowl and the cub protectively held against her chest.

“Sorry, sorry. We’ll back off,” Wukong said raising his hands up in defense taking a few steps back. Honestly the look didn’t even irritate him seeing it on her face, it was kind of hot seeing her so angry.

Once the two had taken enough steps away from the two Phoenix finally settled down. She still held a glare but was willing to place the cub back down in her seat. The cub chirped as she simply picked up a crayon and continued to draw as if nothing happened. She gave the two a cute wave before focusing solely on her drawing.

“Finished the cake~!” Scarlet called as she walked out into the room with a beautiful chocolate cake in her hands only to freeze when she saw the scowl on Phoenix’s face.

The tension could be cut with a knife solely from Phoenix’s end. She didn’t say anything as she settled into grooming Bai He’s fur clearly not willing to part from her. Scar didn’t know what to do at first until she looked at the clock, it was time to send her home anyways. Might as well…

“So could we order something?” Wukong asked, his question pointed towards the brunette.

“Of course,” Pheonix said a fake smile on her face, as she took a pad from her pocket.

Scarlet wanted to say something but as the two monkey demons sat down at a table several places away from the cub, she knew it wouldn’t be a wise decision. Not only did Phoenix clearly wish to make sure they stayed away from her cub but the Monkey King Sun Wukong had specifically requested her. Gulping to herself she took a few steps back into the kitchen to hopefully avoid any fights that may arise. She couldn’t help but keep looking out the door to check on them and make sure Bai He was safe but she didn’t dare interfere.

“Now what would you like?” Phoenix asked, strategically placing her body between the monkey demons in front of her and Bai He who was cheerfully coloring.

“Two peach sorbets, and a side of you~,” Wukong purred out the last word only to receive a glare, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Two peach sorbets coming right up,” She huffed, puffing out her cheeks as she turned and walked away.

Their eyes watched the way her hips swayed for a moment before they turned back to each other. She was hot with that protective look in her eye, ready to pounce on the threat to her cub. Wukong didn’t even realize how his tail was thumping against the floor, and while Macaque did he didn’t mention anything about it sense his own tail was thumping as well.

This was going to be fun~

[skittlescribbles]

Finally got around to finishing the Wukong sketch for the winning trope on my other blog @skittlescripts I ended up going with LMK Wukong on this one since I’ve been making a lot of ITTW content lately~

The winning trope was this and it was sent by @coffee-or-hot-cocoa

Honestly, drawing Mafia AU for Wukong was a lot of fun and I’ll probably do it again!

Also using the cudgel as an earring was inspired by @theweepingegg who made a version of this but for my ITTW Wukong!

[shenxhi]

— TW BLOOD AND WEAPONS!!!

My impulsive thoughts had won sooo drew something angsty in Mafia Xie ver 2 the detective one.

Context:

Since Xie is a detective her life is mostly in the line because she tackles about murderers happening in the city which is linked to a Mafia Gang called The Order Of Tomorrow or Lui Clan. The head of the Lui clan was getting anxious that Xie was getting closer and closer so they shot her in the abdomen hoping she won't live another day —

bitches be down bad for a monkey in a suit...

it's me, i'm bitches 😔

*sighs*

*puts a sticky note that says "bitches" on it on my forehead*

You don't know the half of it anon...

[kiratdw]

I mean, I do have like 20+ AUs of Wukong but this one is what I love to have fun with the most ^^

Mafia AU! Where Wukong is a well-known Monkie Killer Man, known to be fierceful and merciless! >:o

And then there’s MK’s crew with Pigsy starting a mafia cause another restaurant is stealing and using his recipe’s for their own good, which was kinda stupid Pigsy but whatever 😒

I describe him to be mostly an angry one, often lashing out and preferring to do things on his own all the time. But once getting to known closer, he’s quite the jokester and y’know, it wouldn’t be a Wukong without overprotectiveness (and ofc his peach loving self <3)

He also wears glasses cuz he cannot see up close :3

Bonus:

Real footage of him actually getting close to someone!?!?!?!

[novelcain]

Nah he's the perfect height~

@theweepingegg good. If I have to suffer this brain rot so do you~

lol sucks to suck loser kekekekeke /j /lh /affectionate

I will make Mafia!AU Sun Wukong shorter than his beloved Reader.

@skittlescripts Look what you make me do /j

I'm still at work I wanna go home-

Mafia!wukong and mafia!macaque with an involuntarily mute s/o that uses sign language to communicate.

(They aren't deaf they don't have a throat injury they just can't talk and haven't talked in years)

Wukong

He doesn't know sign language when you two first meet but I personally love the headcanon that he is able to pick up any language within a matter of hours.

He doesn't ask questions on why you sign. He has picked up that you aren't deaf and so he doesn't push.

If he notices you cover your ears, he'll lead you to a private room before softly kissing your cheek.

He signs back most of the time, but sometimes the times don't call for it. Like someone has a gun aimed at you.

He quickly pulls you away and yells at you run to the saferoom until he finishes dealing with whoever.

He usually is someone who likes noise, but for you he is willing to give that up.

If you do ever decide to speak to him, he'll try to hold back how happy he is to finally hear it.

He listens to you, trying to memorise the sound of your voice while he has the chance.

He still doesn't push you, he'll never push you. If you ever tell him why he'll listen but he'll never push.

Macaque

Probably prefers the silence to be honest.

He likes not hearing at least one more thing.

That does mean to grab his attention though, you might have to lightly tap him on the shoulder.

Once he starts falling in love with you though, he wishes he could hear your voice so he could have something to drown out everything else.

Unlike Wukong, he does ask why you choose to be mute. He doesn't judge you on why and does keep his mouth shut on the topic.

He gets angry if someone else tries to get you to talk. If you are going to talk, he doesn't want to you to be pressured into it.

I think it'll take him a few months to learn how to sign, though that doesn't mean he doesn't understand what you are signing. More like he isn't use to the hand movements.

When he does finally hear your voice, he doesn't really connect the dots until he sees your mouth moving and sound comes out.

His full attention is on you now, and it's the best thing he has ever hard.

MAFIA AU lmk

Everything is based on general information about the mafia in the world and in China.

There may be inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the AU. This is not accidental. All actions take place within the criminal world. There will be cruelty, blood, and violence.

Briefly about the important things..

Difficult times have come in China, many people had to commit crimes in order to survive by any means. Pigsy, Tan, and Sandy made a deal with Wukong by joining his Triad and being under his protection, but in exchange they worked for him. A little later, Sandy escaped, at the moment his whereabouts and status are unknown.

MK was also planted and raised by Pigsy and Tang, he was literally raised by the street and the mafia. Until he reached adulthood - to the surprise of everyone, Wukong did not touch the boy - but on the day of his 18th birthday, he put forward conditions for joining a family.

At the moment, MK is a boy doing dirty work that Wukong doesn't want to do. Surprisingly, they are very close, and Wukong initiates the boy into all current affairs.

In China, as in other countries of the world, there are their own criminal groups. The most famous of them, called the "Triad," have been clandestinely engaged in criminal activities in the PRC for several centuries. 

Current Triads in China

The Triad of Dragons

The largest and most influential mafia family in China, in addition, they do not have one common boss and they are known in all corners of China (Dragon of the West, East, etc.). Their activities are connected with casinos and some large companies in the country that they finance. They are little known for their murders, but who says that their life path could not have turned out that way?

The first head of the family was May's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, he actually raised the authority of the triad in the criminal world, which persists to this day.

The Bull Triad

Information about the leadership of the princess iron fan

A female boss is a rarity in mafia circles, but when it's a wife or a trusted person who can curb several thousand thugs, it's a completely different matter. With the loss of her husband, she also lost all influence in the criminal world, since everyone remembers her police past and simply does not trust her.  

Out of desperation, she took up the mafia's dirtiest niche - drug distribution in China. She got rid of all the traitors and weaklings and restored her family's influence in China. approx. Previously, the Triad was engaged in the supply of weapons together with Wukong.

The Wukong Triad  

Second in influence, but last in numbers. Large families differ in the number of members and high staff turnover; the Wukong family is only those whom he really trusts and those who are fixated on negotiations with the most armed countries in Europe.

No one thought that Wukong would be able to achieve anything in criminal circles, but after an unsuccessful attempt on the head of the police station, he surprisingly quickly blew up into the air.   At the moment, the family has contracts with the head of state and people who are not averse to buying several thousand cars. The family is not bloodthirsty, but enters into armed conflicts to protect and collect debts.

The Lady Bone Demon Triad

A little-known family, all spies and informants were executed by the boss of this triad.   It is known that the family removes quite influential people from their places, destroys groups and conducts a very aggressive policy.

If we talk about the relationship of the triads, it is worth noting that at the moment all the Active groups are angry at Wukong, for one reason or another. There is periodic bloodshed on all sides because of these disagreements.

No one is focused on the LBD, but it is the main danger (as in the series).

All the heavenly ones are the police or representatives of any other organization for the protection of citizens in the country (the special services of the People's Republic of China). Of course, their task is to stop the activities of the triads, but who says they can't be under the mafia?  

A little bit about the characters and their designs

MK

is a performer, that is, the youngest member of the family. He was accepted into the group through a traditional rite of passage - he drank wine with his blood and swore an oath of loyalty to the Boss.

It seems that Wukong treats the boy with some love, but at the same time, MK is most often involved in armed conflicts, as well as in other similar work, such as debt collection / fights / etc.

His mother is an employee of the police station, until a certain moment the baby did not even know about it, a little later there was a conflict between parents and the child.

Red Son

He belongs to the Wukong triad, but is not a member of it, such are commonly called mercenaries, but Red san came to Wukong of his own free will and swore allegiance to him on his blood until it became known what had become of his father.

Red escaped from the Bull Triad because before the return of the KDB, the PVJ allowed his family to trade drugs in order to maintain authority among other groups. But besides the fact that this is the most disgusting kind of activity, even by mafia standards, Red also grew up surrounded by police officers, former colleagues of his mother. Some kind of moral framework was laid down for him and he simply feels disgusting.

Red has tattoos all over his back and arms, which is the main distinguishing sign of the mafia, although it is not mandatory in modern triads. Red's mother did this as soon as the child's body was formed, because after losing her husband, she wanted to see a new wealthy boss of the family, since it was very difficult for her alone.

Mei

She belongs to the Wukong triad but is not a member of it, such are commonly called mercenaries, but he is under the protection of the group because of MK at his request. Thus, the MK will be responsible for Mei's tests, but the girl will never allow this.

A daughter in a mafia family is certainly a joy, but apart from traditionally finding a faithful husband from the same criminal world to continue the family, and be a beautiful background for men, May could not offer anything more. She ran away from her triad, hoping to realize herself in the world.

The girl is an excellent gambler and cheater, knows a lot of card games and will be able to beat you even if she is naked.

All her legs are filled with tattoos, especially this image of a Chinese dragon with a lotus. She did it against the will of her parents, and her tattoos do not belong to the criminal world in any way.

Wukong

The head of the family and a respected citizen of his country. The main goal of his triad is to supply weapons throughout the country.

He used to be an ordinary thug who didn't value his own life or anyone else's. During this period, the police even took him away, but he escaped safely, tore up the entire station along the way, climbed into the office of the chief of police, wrote nasty things, stole important documents and photographed this outrage and sent the newspaper to the editorial office. It was a wonderful morning for the representatives of the law.

At the beginning of the journey, I worked with an organization, they called themselves the Brotherhood. But Wukong himself prefers not to talk about them.

He appreciates MK, sees him as a replacement for Macaque, and is afraid of losing him, as well as his best friend.

Macaque

He is an assassin in the LBD triad, a subordinate of the mayor and the second favorite of the Lady.

According to the newspapers, he has been dead for several years, buried without a body, and, according to Wukong, in principle, he is not in this world.

In one of the skirmishes, he was severely wounded and subsequently abandoned by Ukun, as he thought he had lost him. The LBD found him in a deplorable state and took him under its wing.

She was cold, and he had burns incompatible with life, so they came together.

The Macaque harbored a grudge against Wukong and never wanted to meet him after this incident, he believes that he did it on purpose, knowing that the Macaque was alive, in his opinion, Sun Wukong deserved only revenge. He learned about MK from informants in the LBD. The boy became his target.

For him, the preferred method of killing is to act in the shadows, quietly and without noise, that is, covertly.

Pigsy

Kapa, or one of the leaders, monitors the actions of MK, Mei, Red San, Teng.

The noodle shop is in place (acts as a typical mafia bar) and still works, delighting visitors with noodles. However, there is now an automatic revolver and several combat knives behind the counter. But it's true...just in case.

Tang

An informant of the Triad, surprisingly he knows everything that ordinary people could not know and does not know what everyone knows. In principle, otherwise it's still the same Tang, only now in a leather jacket and tattoos on his arms.

Ne zha

Inspector of the 3rd class of the China police in the status of a detective working on the case of Sun Wukong under the leadership of Erlan.

Not to say that he is the most successful detective, because somehow Wukuna always turns out to be one step ahead.

After several years of work, he has become so used to Wukong that he can meet him in a bar and tell him how things are at the police station, simultaneously throwing mats towards the Boss of the group. Maybe during this time they just became good friends? Who knows.

Recently, the mafia has begun to shed more blood, so the investigation and investigation have resumed with renewed vigor.

Sorry if there are mistakes in the text, I hope you like it!!!

[phoenixeclipse-lmkau]

Phoenixeclipse AU - College AU

- Phoenix is a young woman who is studying plants because she loves them.

- She had long since left her mountain home to study in the city, in the process of this she finds herself working part time at a small Cafe.

- She lives in a run down, old house with her young niece who she is taking care of because of... reasons. (Her old master is a biatch)

- She doesn't have much but does everything to keep herself and her niece in a good situation. More so her niece who always gets a full stomach and a good bed because of her aunt's sacrifices.

- Since the Cafe doesn't pay enough for all of Phoenix’s bills she works a night job at a club. As both a bartender and a stripper.

- She of course gets several offers for sex but doesn't like to accept those. Only having accepted it a few times when absolutely desperate.

- Said Cafe 'Scarlet's Cafe,' is rather popular with particular groups, including (Drumroll please) a certain group of Monkey demons.

- This is mostly because Scarlet, the owner of the Cafe is mates with Liu one of the higher up monkey demons.

- While visiting the Cafe as they always do (it is their regular hang out spot) Liu's bosses, Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque spot Phoenix who always wears a smile on her face.

-They are captivated by her and recognize her as someone who goes to collage with them.

- They teasingly flirt with her to pass the time but slowly as days pass they become absolutely captivated by her.

- Captivation turning into obsession as they start to stalk her to know everything they can.

- Even when she politely pushes them away, they won't touch her inappropriately when she declines them, but a simple touch of their tail that goes unnoticed (it doesn't) won't harm anyone.

- Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque only go to college as a cover-up for certain... activates they pertain in.

- Street fights, clubs they own, and selling drugs. Maybe they lead a mafia~ who knows.

- There are other lmk characters who will be talked about later~

Hey, Res! What do you think about superbat but Mafia au?👀👀👀

I love mafia AUs! I actually wrote the first chapter of a superbat/batfamily one will once but haven’t gotten around to updating it, despite really enjoying the dark path it was taking.

I love fics where the batfamily is its own kind of mafia. I love how those stories can explore their canon origins but in a darker, less heroic way…

[skitskatdacat63]

Fernando and Fisi pictures that I like and enjoy a normal amount (pt. 1: 2005)

[sameteeth]

anyways, i do think its really interesting that chuuya figures out that dazai was putting pieces into place to get him ousted from the sheep like a month ahead of time... its also really interesting to consider WHY dazai did it and the implications it carries. dazai watches shirase and yuan pressure and guilt chuuya about "doing his part" for the sheep as a person with an ability, then immediately takes action to relieve pressure from chuuya

which is kinda funny bc dazai at least in the short term is following what shirase is saying - dazai has the ability to help save the hostages, and he does lol. demon prodigy indeed. MORE IMPORTANTLY though. dazai recognizes that chuuya is being controlled by the sheep even though he is the leader. chuuya and mori make good comparisons here - this arc starts with mori bemoaning his responsibility as the boss of the port mafia, and we see chuuya consistently failing to do his responsibility as the leader of the sheep. he even denies the title of king, stating that it's only his ability that puts him above the rest. to digress a bit, i think this is partly why when chuuya joins the port mafia he so quickly submits to them - he is no longer the sole ability user, and thus the responsibility doesnt rely entirely on him to protect the group. something to be said here about the way bsd almost never touches on the ability user vs non-ability user dichotomy but ill save that. back to the main point. dazai takes it upon himself to free chuuya from the sheep. he acknowledges the limitations chuuya has to function under as the leader of the sheep and the weight of the responsibility he bears for no reason other than his ability

but then! dazai forces chuuya into the port mafia to save him from the sheep ! doesnt that seem contradictory??? isnt that hypocritical? chuuya seems pissed about it!

granted, I'd be pissed too if my friends stabbed me with a switch covered in rat poison then tried to gun me down. regardless, chuuya can see how dazai set him up to be outcast from the sheep without having to break the tie himself. chuuya is loyal to the sheep, even when they distrust him. But! this gives chuuya a chance to escape, even if it's to the port mafia. i think the important thing to focus on here is that the port mafia is an Actual organization made up of adults. the sheep are a bunch of kids, ones that are easily led. the limited pieces we see of them are shirase and yuan, who throw temper tantrums and try to clumsily manipulate chuuya when he doesn't listen to them. they admit to stealing alcohol from mafia-adjacent territory and just generally seem immature... because theyre kids. but what we see of the mafia is much different. mori is a strong leader because he is smart and rational. he thinks ahead. he, unlike chuuya, is the leader because he wants to protect yokohama, and understands the sacrifice necessary to do so. chuuya is the leader because no one could beat him in a fight. the port mafia offers a chance for growth (ignoring that these are children in the mafia ok play with me here) as a fighter and as a leader - chuuya becomes an exec when he's still a teenager i think (theres not a specific age anywhere i can find) and is a much more calm and smart fighter once he joins.

so it's good (play with me) that chuuya is able to join the port mafia. BUT he would never have been able to leave if dazai had not forced his hand. this paradox - the idea that chuuya obtains freedom from being forced to leave something he doesn't want to - is SUPER interesting to consider !! here i will dissolve into rambles. i learned about this paradox in the context of mary wollstonecraft and the vindication of the rights of women - wollstonecraft believed only educated people could truly be free, as they were not only free of oppression but also no longer slaves to their emotions, and were able to have opportunities and use their education for their own betterment. the situation with chuuya reminded me of this, because with the sheep chuuya had no one to rely on or to teach him, limiting his capacity for growth and ultimately his freedom. the sheep were reliant on him for protection, and feared him, but chuuya had everything to lose if he were to try and leave the sheep. he had nothing without them, and they needed him for his power. but they were beholden to their emotions, immature and uncertain how to actually get power. their primary motivators for action are retaliation - dazai mentions this when chuuya attacks him, and shirase and yuan mention this when they are urging chuuya to help them. but when chuuya talks to mori and koyo (<3) about their actions, both of them are much more forward thinking than that. mori is very cunning and sly, and koyo tells chuuya that even if things go south in the meeting she's taking him to to, they know how to move forward. chuuya's world has expanded beyond the sheep's limited gaze.

of course, he's still trapped in the port mafia, but if you REALLY want to discuss free will..... we'll be here all fucking night. free will is really hard to pin down and i always have to talk about determinism and its a lot to wrap ur head around and i just like drawing connections between stuff i like
