@monburan &&. said... She's practicing with her newfound Pyro Vision, setting slimes aflame and such, when she feels a pair of eyes watching from afar. Heterochromatic hues scan the surrounding area, flickering across a figure in the distance. Moving to stand instead of kneel, she shoots the figure a glare, eyes alit by the glow of Pyro as a warning to all. Quit staring unless you have a death wish. ( from neo !! )

it's  a  bit  like  watching  someone  crush  an  ant  colony  beneath  a  merciless  heel.  (  ironic;  that's  usually  his  doing.  )  the  slimes  are  utterly  helpless  against  the  flames,  with  nary  a  thought  running  through  their  empty  little  heads  beyond  a  feeble  attempt  to  BOUNCE  AWAY  in  self  preservation.  a  useless  effort;  the  fire  consumes  them  before  they  have  the  chance  to  escape  —  and  while  most  would  find  the  action  abhorrent,  ren  can't  help  but  admire  the  CRUELTY.  perhaps  it's  a  dark  reflection  of  empathy  at  work;  though  he  tries  to  live  while  keeping  predominantly  to  himself  these  days,  the  balladeer  certainly  wasn't  above  petty  acts  of  destruction  —  when  it  suited  him.  (  or  his  mood  was  foul  enough  to  necessitate  sharing  the  misery.  )  there's  a  sort  of  catharsis  to  be  found  in  dismantling  this  world  through  one's  own  POWER.  he  thinks  it  might  be  equivalent  to  what  gods  feel  when  they  toy  with  those  too  weak  to  stand  against  them.

he's  been  leaning  calmly  against  a  tree  when  she  turns  her  attention  on  him.  the  wanderer  seems  unperturbed  by  the  nasty  look  she  shoots  his  way  —  though  it's  hard  to  take  most  THREATS  seriously  when  he  knows  there's  no  physical  damage  he  can't  simply  walk  away  from.  (  given  enough  time  for  his  healing  factor  to  kick  in.  )  ❝  talk  about  a  scary  expression.  ❞  ren  still  can't  help  the  urge  to  get  a  little  jab  in.  ❝  i'm  not  as  much  of  a  PUSHOVER  as  those  slimes  you've  been  terrorizing;  this  is  one  fight  you  don't  want  to  pick.  ❞   he  waves  his  hand,  his  own  eyes  flickering  a  brief  (  anemo  )  blue.  a  gust  of  wind  sweeps  over  their  surroundings,  putting  out  what  fires  still  sizzle  away  in  the  grass.

❝  if  i  meant  you  any  harm,  ❞  the  wanderer  continues,   ❝  don't  you  think  i  would  have  made  my  move  while  you  were  DISTRACTED?  i'm  just  appreciating  your  handiwork.  ❞  he's  always  found  it's  easier  to  make  statements  of  fact  than  implore  a  complete  STRANGER  to  trust  him.   ❝  although ...  aren't  you  getting  bored  messing  around  with  these  small  fry?  if  you  really  want  to  test  your  strength,  why  don't  you  try  killing  something  a  little  more  IMPRESSIVE?  ❞

🎲 !!!! (march? OwO)

kiss meme || accepting.

42. A clumsy kiss

the sun has just barely began to creep in through frosted windows, ai was used to being up at this time ( if not earlier, even ) ... march, on the other hand, was still sound asleep. gentle smile makes way to the former idols features as she looks at her - brushing aside a strand of loose hair on her face.

how cute...

she nearly giggles aloud, but stops herself so that she doesn't wake the other girl - though it seems that she begins to stir awake on her own...

❝ good morning, sleepyhead. ❞

ai speaks in a soft voice to the other girl, twirling a strand of her pink locks within her fingers. she leans in ever closer... eventually placing a small kiss on her lips. it's done in a haphazard manner, her lips slightly off center from the other girls... a clumsy, sleepy morning kiss.

...there were worse ways to be woken up, she imagines.

❝ it's still early, so don't feel like you have to get up if you don't want to -- ❞ words are uttered just as she breaks the kiss, close enough that march would be able to feel the heat of her breath on her lips.

@monburan

She's suddenly embraced from behind by Oz, her most trusted friend. He missed her ever so much...

        A LIGHT PRESSURE ON her back and an extra warmth was weighing down on Lacie’s back. She stood still, a bit hesitant to move because she was not used to the feeling of someone embracing her. She was about to push them away until her crimson eyes looked down, turning her head to the side and a familiar mop of blond came in her point of view. In a blink of an instant, a smile was tugging at the corners of her lips and she embraced her dearest friend back. 

        “Oz!”

        The fullness of the reality hadn’t sunken in - he was here, he was alive and hopefully well, her beloved friend, her clever, compassionate and sweet rabbit. Was the world finally kind to her? For the very first time? Was she not walking on a cloud of dreams? It was hardly believable that after everything she had suffered through… he’d be here, and not just as a plush rabbit, or as vague memory, but as Oz Vessalius - a name belonging to him once and only. 

        “I have thought of you. On good and bad days. Wondering how you are doing, how you are feeling and if you were making friends. I didn’t dare to hope we’ll ever meet. It was enough for me to hope for a good future for you. A future of happiness, filled with people you love and love you back.”

        No matter what, Lacie prayed for Oz to have everything she wasn’t granted in life. In the invisible corners danger was lurking everywhere but as long as he had his friends, Lacie was confident to believe he’d defeat every obstacle, big or small, he was the strongest person she knew.

❝ sure you can, ruby !! ❞

tries to encourage her daughter with her words. she recalls the times where she'd practice - as though she was afraid of falling...

❝ you've just gotta get over that little hurdle, mama will help you do it. ❞

she should be able to do at least this much as her mother.

❝ if you can do that... mama's sure that you'll be dancing like a pro in no time. ❞

ruby had her parents genes... performing in one way or another is in her blood - that's what ai would like to believe at least.

and ruby instantly feels better once ai addresses her. her mama always makes her feel okay, even as the bump on her head still stings. still, she can't help but feel a slight amount of guilt; after all, her clumsiness had disturbed her mama's practice. she pouts a little. "...'m sorry, mama. i just wanted to dance like you, but i can't... what if i trip over my own two feet during the recital?"

[mukuharakazui-official]

Hey, Kazui. *holds out a phone with Kazui's cover songs queued up to play*

I like your banner, by the way.

"Ah, what's this now..?"

He recieves the phone with hesitance, though he smiles and recieves it nonetheless. He can only hope it's not as...personal as the last was.

[ you know the drill, under the cut for peoples dashboards :p ]

He sighs internally as he plays the first song, labelled "Cowardly Montblanc". He immediately regrets it when he hears his own voice. They're definitely trying to commit some sort of psychological warfare on him... ah, well. No chickening out now...

The song is melancholic, and he listens to the lyrics despite his hesitance.

"These are all the feelings I have; I’ll only say them in this many words. I loved you, but it was a heavy burden. Is that all there is?"

Oh. Hilarious, it's almost like what he told Hinako. He truly was regretting choosing to listen to the songs, but... For some reason, he couldn't bring himself to stop.

“I wish you’d just hurry up and die!”

"...Ah... I'd never say that, i hope you all know, ahaha" was that what she felt he was telling her? Is that why she...

"While quelling my doubts by thinking, “Even the truth is okay,” I was wishing for it all to be a lie Because I worked out the consequences, And I was still a cowardly mont blanc, after all."

He lets out a sigh as the song ends, though he's quick to put on a calm smile again. "Well, it was a very nice song...I'm not too sure on the lyrics, though..."

...He was very sure that they were targeted, though. Hearing his own voice admit to cowardice, the implications he could catch of a failed confession... It wasn't very pleasant to think about.

So he doesn't think about it! Or, well, he tries not to think about it. He doesn't need to say anything to these people anyway, revealing so much to the warden was embarrassing enough, if he were to be honest. And it was their job to hear these things.

"On to the next one then, right?" He hopes it's not as bad as the last. "Let's see...Neo-Neon..?"

"Going in circles, Neo-Neon I should have told the truth if it was going to be like this but I wanted to keep on shining to show you I can lie for you “I’m sorry”"

He has to consciously stop himself from reacting to the lyrics. He's jinxed himself, he thinks. He can't help but feel like the lyrics are connected to him, to what happened, though. They sound awfully similar to how his thoughts were before he'd started dreaming again.

they sound awfully similar to how his thoughts were now, too, but he doesn't want to think about that.

"Something that impossible is impossible Love always wins and I always lose, and that’s fine"

Haha...that's almost comedic, when it comes to what he's been through. Maybe he should've just let "Love" win, if he was going to lose either way.

...He does react when he hears another voice join in. One that sounded awfully similar to Hinako...

"I can’t say it even if it kills me"

The line stands out, spoken instead of sung. He had felt that way once...and he wishes he'd stuck to it.

"e.g. You quit your heartbeat e.g. I quit my breathing Something that impossible is impossible Love always wins and I always lose, and that’s fine"

He can't even bring himself to fake a smile, but he lets out a half hearted laugh anyway. "Well that's...not a very happy song, huh. It was... nice sounding, though, thank you for showing it to me"

Lying is like breathing, just something you have to do to live. He should've learnt that sooner, but he can't do anything about that now.

Two tests!

Which type of old god are you?

Sylvian

An Old God originated from the Green Hue. you find yourself affiliated with her. you may find yourself aching for the cruel cycle of love. unsure whether you wear Your heart on your sleeve or everyone elses. let yourself go and you gorge on the thing called love. to suffer is to love and to love is to suffer. its cathartic and religious. you declare yourself too gone to be healed. but for others you will do everything in your power to love them. to please them. to heal them. the veins under your skin pulse with adoration for the earth itself. your love is so big its almost disgusting. it mutates into something grand, disturbed. red faced and raw bitten fingers, does she still sit at the end of the table? be careful of the rabbit hole that will open up beneath your feet.

What's your underlying motif?

whether it’s your sweet nature, breakaway cover, or your natural displays of intimacy, you have the undercurrent of the orange. a love language in itself, your nature makes others want to take a bite and enjoy the tang that you leave behind with your laughter. you remind others of a summer day, hot air, long nights, always hopeful you’ll never go away. in her poem “the orange” by wendy cope she said “i peeled it and shared it with robert and dave, they had quarters and i had a half” you’re generous and have much to give. she also said “this is peace and contentment, it’s new” well i say, it’s you.

a tangled ball of red strings

who are you without the company of others ?? you aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. you are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. it can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. you deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. you don’t have to be everything to everyone.

Hook's diary! | accepting.

██/██/██ Weather: Freezing Mood: Normal

Hook still remembers when Big Sister Neo protected me from all the villains. She got hurt very badly and I could not help her at all... but now that I'm older, Hook has decided that she will now protect Big Sister Neo back! Today, I'm going to the muchine machine graveyard to find a weapon for myself! If I'm going to be the Boss of the Moles, I have to be strong!

Maybe Hook can find a sword because swords are always cool-looking! Ohhh!!! Or maybe...maybe a giant fist! So I can dig those villains out from the dirt and throw them into outer space! Yeah! That sounds like a great weapon! I'm gonna get one! I'm sure of it!

Then, I'll name it Diggertron!

Her turn to protect. | @monburan.

SLEEP MEME

Type of bed: Rio has whatever bed is available at the HPA dorms - I assume it's decently sized, maybe a Japanese double (a bit bigger than an American full) or a Japanese queen (narrower than an American queen, but not too much smaller). At her parents' house in Sapporo, she has a double. When she was really little, she shared a bedroom with her middle brother, Kazuya. When her oldest brother, Noriaki, moved out, Kazuya took his room, leaving the other room for Rio alone, until she left for HPA.

Number of blankets: Many, many blankets, although she doesn't necessarily use them all. Rio is about maximum coziness, so in addition to her top sheet and comforter, she probably has like, a knitted blanket, and some thin (mostly-useless) one that's official anime goods. Depending on how deeply she's sleeping, she might have wrapped herself up in all of the blankets and sheets in a powerful cocoon.

Number of pillows: At least one big, comfy pillow, and two smaller fuzzy ones for cuddling with, or just sort of as decoration. She has considered getting a dakimakura but is a little embarrassed, even if she probably wouldn't get a lewd one. Maybe someday.

Type of clothing: Given the choice, a loose, comfy sweater or a sleep shirt, plus some pajama pants (probably branded with some kind of character or media property, not unlike what's referenced here. However, Rio is the kind of person to not get enough sleep, or overwork herself, which means she's extremely likely to fall asleep in the middle of the day, or just crawl into bed in her regular clothes and take a nap.

Does it matter where they sleep? Nope. Obviously, she prefers a bed, but if Rio is sleepy enough (and she often is), she can sleep anywhere. She has pretty regularly fallen asleep at her work desk in her lab, or at her desk in her dorm room, next to (or on top of) her laptop.

What do they do if they cannot fall asleep? This isn't a problem for Rio basically ever. Rather than 'can't fall asleep,' it's more often the case that Rio loses track of time, or puts off sleep, and in those cases, it's usually because she's reading manga or light novels, playing her Switch, or at her computer playing Genshin Impact, Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, or any of the hundreds of game in her Steam backlog.

Frequent dreams / nightmares: Rio doesn't necessarily remember the specifics of the car accident that took the lives of her parents, but it's her most common nightmare, easily. Others are embarrassing herself at a scientific conference or presentation, falling, or all her teeth falling out, a lot of the common nightmares. When it comes to positive dreams, they're usually things like dreaming about dates or otherwise spending time with her partner, climate change and environmental problems being Solved Forever so she can become a hikikomori and never have to work again, or flying with a bunch of birds.

Deep slumber or naps? Rio is truly dead to the world when she is sleeping. If she is sleeping, it is deep, whether that's at a normal hour, or at a random afternoon hour. She does nap a lot, because her poor time management skills and general problem with staying up too late means she loses the opportunity for unbroken nighttime sleep, and has to just catch up where she can.

When do they sleep? Ehhhhhh it's hard to say specifically. Even on good nights, she stays up until 2-3 playing games or reading, and often sleeps until around 11, or even noon if she doesn't have anything super pressing to do. Otherwise, her sleeping is "whenever she's able to do so."

What could wake them up? Almost nothing. This is not an invitation to try, but if she's asleep, she can sleep through almost anything. Violently shaking her will eventually wake her up, as will like, loud, sustained alarms like a fire alarm, but anything short of that? She's staying out, sorry.
