Who doesn’t love soul-crushing angst? Send me a 💔 and I’ll generate a number, 1-75, and post a starter based on what scenario I get. - Seto

For Sick Fucks Who Hate Happiness

34. Your muse dies in my muse’s arms.

They’d been stupid. Absolutely stupid. 

It had been a trap; of course it had been a trap. Looking back it should have been obvious, but how could they have expected those two monsters were working together?!

Wolfwood growled low in his throat at the sight of his old Master standing (so to speak) next to Gozaburo Kaiba, both of them looking smug enough to punch, as the three mutated Eye members moved to block the exit behind them. He was silently grateful that Mokuba was back at the mansion, but cursing the fact that Seto had come here as well. Not a shock, seeing as the call had been directed towards the young CEO in the first place, but he should have knocked the man out and gone alone, dammit! He could yell at him later, but at least he’d be out of danger!

The priest was tense, glancing between Seto and Gozaburo as the two spoke (or rather snarled) with each other, not surprised when the fat bastard demanded the company, but starting slightly when he was included in the demands. Seto was stubborn, of course (and he had to admit he felt a bit impressed with how firmly he’d shut the “negotiations” down), and Chapel wheeled forwards, shaking his head.

“It’s a shame you refused our previous ‘offers’, young Kaiba, violence could have been avoided. You had potential, even I can see as much. Such a waste... but I think it’s time to take back what you’ve stolen from your father… and myself.” Icy grey eyes fixed on the priest next to Seto, greed and possessiveness evident in the old man’s face. Nick bristled at being referred to as mere property, a mindset both Vash and the brothers (Mokuba, especially) had been able to break him out of, and he had no intention of going back.

Just when he was about to say as such to his old Master (along with a generous dose of “go fuck yourself!”), he froze then a third figure made itself known, leaping from the shadows to land between the two older men and their targets, towering over all of them with teeth bared in a manic grin:

Razlo Tri-P of Death was here.

“We’re going to give you one more chance.” Chapel spoke, knowing he and Gozaburo were in control of the situation. “Resign the company back to your father, and hand Nicholas over, and you’ll be allowed to leave. Quickly, if you would, I’d like to get him back under the knife as soon as possible.”

Nick froze at that, shivering in disgust at the thought of this man operating on him again, especially while allied with Gozaburo Kaiba. He was shaken from his thoughts, looking up in surprise when Seto moved to place himself in front of him. A blatant refusal. Chapel’s eyes narrowed.

“Very well. Tri-P of Death. Your orders are to secure Nicholas by any means necessary.” Chapel commanded. “Kill the thief if you have to. Maybe his younger brother will be easier to deal with when we bring the brat his brother’s head.”

He could see Seto tense, the man pushing him back to stay behind him (stubborn idiot), but the priest put a firm hand on his shoulder to get his attention, shaking his head.

“He ain’t someone’ you can handle. Get behind me, an’ whatever you do, stay outta his line of sight.” He whispered to Seto, deadly serious. “Don’t do anything stupid. He’s on another level, even for me.”

Razlo’s grin widened as Nicholas stepped forwards, this time in front of Seto, eyes dark with anger and bloodlust. The two assassins squared off.

Wolfwood and Razlo clashed violently, Nicholas ensuring he stayed between the beast and Seto, not allowing him to get an opening. Blood sprayed, bones cracked, teeth bared, the two were moving so fast it was difficult to keep up. One thing was easy to see however; Razlo had the upper hand. Not only was he stronger, faster, and much bigger, but Wolfwood was fighting with a handicap; unable to move freely in order to keep shielding the man behind him, and had taken a few bullets to the shoulder and legs in the process. But despite this, the smaller of the two killers was putting up one hell of a fight, moving with a grace and viciousness he hadn’t had to resort to in a long time. It was quickly becoming clear why the old man had become so obsessed with his potential.

It was okay. Razlo’s orders weren’t to kill him, he could think of a way out of this! So long as Seto stayed behind him…

He wasn’t sure what happened, whether Seto had tried to get out of the way, whether he’d tried to make a diversion, to even Nick’s odds, or simply moved without thinking. Either way, by the time he noticed the brunet was out in the open, a grinning Razlo had already raised his gun and fired. Despite lunging forward, he knew he wouldn’t reach him in time- even if he hadn’t been as injured as he was, he wasn’t fast enough.

“GET DOWN!!!”

It was too late. He watched in horror as the bullets tore through the young CEO’s torso, sending him collapsing to the ground. Nick finally reached him, sliding to his knees to catch him, to keep his head from hitting the ground. A gut shot. Slow, and painful.

“You- You IDIOT!!” Nick could hear Razlo laughing from the ground behind him, but paid him no mind, instead yanking his own blood-soaked jacket off to put pressure on the worst of the wounds in a desperate, futile hope to stop the bleeding. “The fuck were you thinking?! If you’d jus’ stayed put…! I told you, I can take more bullets than you can! Let ME get shot, dammit!” He was panicking as the brunet’s blood quickly soaked the jacket, blue eyes staring up at him as their owner’s face quickly lost color. 

“No, no no no nonono, c’mon, you’re too fuckin’ stubborn to go out like this! You gotta get back to Mokuba! You know he needs you! Jus’- Jus’ keep your eyes open, I-I’ll think of something, dammit!!”

God, no. This couldn’t be happening…

Razlo, it seemed, had grown tired of being ignored and grabbed the priest by the injured shoulder, yanking him back and into two of the mutated freaks he kept around from the Eye, who instantly seized him by the arms, and despite struggling to pull free- to get back to the injured man on the ground, their grip didn’t budge.

“DAMMIT, MOKUBA NEEDS YOU!!” Nick cried as he was pulled back, desperation in his voice. “GET UP!”

“Bring him here.” Master C’s voice cut through his panicked haze, the smug victorious smirk almost audible in his tone, and Wolfwood doubled his efforts to get free as he was dragged back away from the brunet’s body, towards the two responsible for this hell.

“YOU’RE GONNA LET THIS BEAT YOU?! WEAKLING! COWARD!! GET UP!! PLEASE!!!” 

He was still shouting as he struggled, as if desperately hoping Seto would somehow get back up from his insults just to prove him wrong like the stubborn asshole that he was. It was all in vain.

Still yelling and fighting as he was dragged dragged to his master and Gozaburo, he was helpless to watch as the life slowly left those blue eyes.

Strengths

Honest and Direct – Integrity is the heart of the Logistician personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to Logisticians’ preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.

Strong-willed and Dutiful – Logisticians embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the Logistician personality type meet their obligations, period.

Responsible – Logisticians’ word is a promise. Logisticians would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for Logistician personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they’ve committed themselves to.

Calm and Practical – None of their promises would mean much if Logisticians lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship – they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples’ preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and Logisticians work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.

Create and Enforce Order – The primary goal of any Logistician is to be effective in what they’ve chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by Logisticians. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.

Weaknesses

Stubborn – The facts are the facts, and Logisticians tend to resist any new idea that isn’t supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the Logistician personality type to accept that they were wrong about something – but anyone can miss a detail, even them.

Insensitive – While not intentionally harsh, Logisticians often hurt more sensitive types’ feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. Logistician personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.

Judgmental – Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and Logisticians are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.

Unreasonably Blame Themselves – All this can combine to make Logisticians believe they are the only ones who can see projects through reliably. As they load themselves with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas, Logisticians sooner or later hit a tipping point where they simply can’t deliver. Since they’ve heaped the responsibility on themselves, Logisticians then believe the responsibility for failure is theirs alone to bear.

Strengths

Tolerant – Protagonists are true team players, and they recognize that that means listening to other peoples’ opinions, even when they contradict their own. They admit they don’t have all the answers, and are often receptive to dissent, so long as it remains constructive.

Reliable – The one thing that galls Protagonists the most is the idea of letting down a person or cause they believe in. If it’s possible, Protagonists can always be counted on to see it through.

Charismatic – Charm and popularity are qualities Protagonists have in spades. They instinctively know how to capture an audience, and pick up on mood and motivation in ways that allow them to communicate with reason, emotion, passion, restraint – whatever the situation calls for.

Altruistic – Uniting these qualities is Protagonists’ unyielding desire to do good in and for their communities, be it in their own home or the global stage. Warm and selfless, Protagonists genuinely believe that if they can just bring people together, they can do a world of good.

Weaknesses

Overly Idealistic – Protagonist personality type can be caught off guard as they find that, through circumstance or nature, or simple misunderstanding, people fight against them and defy the principles they’ve adopted, however well-intentioned they may be. They are more likely to feel pity for this opposition than anger, and can earn a reputation of naïveté.

Too Selfless – Protagonists can bury themselves in their hopeful promises, feeling others’ problems as their own and striving hard to meet their word. If they aren’t careful, they can spread themselves too thin, and be left unable to help anyone.

Too Sensitive – While receptive to criticism, seeing it as a tool for leading a better team, it’s easy for Protagonists to take it a little too much to heart. Their sensitivity to others means that Protagonists sometimes feel problems that aren’t their own and try to fix things they can’t fix, worrying if they are doing enough.

Fluctuating Self-Esteem – Protagonists define their self-esteem by whether they are able to live up to their ideals, and sometimes ask for criticism more out of insecurity than out of confidence, always wondering what they could do better. If they fail to meet a goal or to help someone they said they’d help, their self-confidence will undoubtedly plummet.

Struggle to Make Tough Decisions – If caught between a rock and a hard place, Protagonists can be stricken with paralysis, imagining all the consequences of their actions, especially if those consequences are humanitarian.

Strengths

Creative and Practical – Virtuosos are very imaginative when it comes to practical things, mechanics, and crafts. Novel ideas come easily, and they love using their hands to put them into action.

Spontaneous and Rational – Combining spontaneity with logic, Virtuosos can switch mindsets to fit new situations with little effort, making them flexible and versatile individuals.

Great in a Crisis – With all this hands-on creativity and spontaneity, it’s no wonder that Virtuosos are naturals in crisis situations. People with this personality type usually enjoy a little physical risk, and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty when the situation calls for it.

Relaxed – Through all this, Virtuosos are able to stay quite relaxed. They live in the moment and go with the flow, refusing to worry too much about the future.

Weaknesses

Stubborn – As easily as Virtuosos go with the flow, they can also ignore it entirely, and usually move in another direction with little apology or sensitivity. If someone tries to change Virtuosos’ habits, lifestyle or ideas through criticism, they can become quite blunt in their irritation.

Insensitive – Virtuosos use logic, and even when they try to meet others halfway with empathy and emotional sensitivity, it rarely seems to quite come out right, if anything is even said at all.

Private and Reserved – Virtuoso personalities are notoriously difficult to get to know. They are true introverts, keeping their personal matters to themselves, and often just prefer silence to small talk.

Easily Bored – Virtuosos enjoy novelty, which makes them excellent tinkerers, but much less reliable when it comes to focusing on things long-term. Once something is understood, Virtuosos tend to simply move on to something new and more interesting.

Dislike Commitment – Long-term commitments are particularly onerous for Virtuosos. They prefer to take things day-by-day, and the feeling of being locked into something for a long time is downright oppressive. This can be a particular challenge in Virtuosos’ romantic relationships.

Risky Behavior – This stubbornness, difficulty with others’ emotions, focus on the moment, and easy boredom can lead to unnecessary and unhelpful boundary-pushing, just for fun. Virtuosos have been known to escalate conflict and danger just to see where it goes, something that can have disastrous consequences for everyone around if they lose control of the situation.
