So. Mickey as an unofficial and entirely involuntary role model for South Side queers.

Thing is, while Kev's assertion that 'no one cares who you bang' largely seems to hold true, I still can't see it not causing at least a tiny bit of stir when the news first hit. You know, in general everyone just seem to know a lot about everyone else in the neighborhood, and maybe they know an extra lot about the Milkoviches because they're pretty damned dangerous, and you'd do well to stay both informed and clear of them. Now, Mickey is the neighborhood thug of his generation: the son and likely successor of a violent and homophobic Nazi, so him coming out as gay at his son's christening is... Well. Word gets around, is my point, even if most people are too busy with their own shitty lives to pay too much attention to Mickey's, beyond a wry observation or two.

Except some do pay attention. Some keep all this in their hearts and think about it often.

The years pass; Mickey goes to prison and escapes and returns and gets engaged; Terry burns down the wedding venue and threatens to kill him, Mickey gets married all the same. Word gets around, again. Life goes on, still.

And then one chilly February afternoon Mickey is walking home from wherever when he's approached by a teenage boy asking: “Uh, hey. You're Mickey Milkovich, right?”

In Mickey's experience that isn't the sort of question that leads to hugs and handshakes, so he's immediately wary, but a quick look at the boy dispels most of his concern. Sure, the kid looks nothing but South Side, scrappy like: can probably both take and dole out a beating, but he's clearly nervous – and not nervous in a way that suggests that he's about to do something utterly stupid like try to rob or murder Mickey. So, Mickey relaxes a little and lights a cigarette. Is maybe the tiniest bit curious, but mostly annoyed. “What the hell do you want?”

The kid hems and haws and Mickey is just about ready to walk away from this stammering snooze-fest when boy finally blurts: “I'm gay!”

What the actual fuck? Mickey stares. “Yeah? So fucking what? I'm married, asshole, and wouldn't be banging kids even if I wasn't.”

“No! Yeah, no, I mean – I know. I'm not... “ The kid's staring down at the ground. “I never told anyone before,” he adds softly.

Okay, that... does something strange to Mickey's insides, but he still has no idea what the hell is going on here. “You wanna talk to Ian?” he hazards. “Gay Jesus?” Riding out to save the day for troubled teens is Ian's thing, isn't it, but fuck, he really hopes he isn't starting with that shit again -

But the kid is shaking his head. “No, man, I was looking for you. 'Cause with your dad and everything I though that maybe... “ He pauses again, swallows. “I think my family's gonna be really angry if they find out.”

Ah. Still doesn't explain how that is any of Mickey's problem, but for some reason he can't find it in him to just shrug and walk away. He bites his lip. “They gonna kill you?”

“N-no. I mean... I don't think so. No.”

Then what the fuck are you whining about, you fucking pussy, Mickey doesn't say. He considers the kid, pale and damned near shaking before him, and wonders what he is supposed to say, what the hell the boy wants from him. Why the fuck isn't Ian here to deal with this shit? He'd be much better at it; he'd fucking love it, what with that goddamned Messiah complex he's got going...

But the kid hasn't come for Ian; he's come for Mickey and while Mickey isn't sure how the hell he came up with that brilliant notion it probably has something to do with the fact that Ian, for all he is as South Side as they come, still looks and walks and talks like someone who... well, whose homosexuality wouldn't completely shock you. This kid doesn't, and Mickey doesn't either. There's South Side and then there's South Side.

He gives a long sigh and tosses his cigarette butt to the pavement.

“Listen. I have no fucking idea if your family is gonna be cool with you loving cock or whatever, but if they're not, they're not, and that's not gonna fucking change, no matter how long you wait. Sooner or later you'll have to say something 'cause you'll be fucking miserable if you don't, and if it's gonna suck either way you might as well get it over with.”

He pauses, for a moment hesitating over what he wants to say next, because it's fucking soft and reveals way too much and... Fuck it. He clears his throat: “Fear's worse than whatever comes after anyway,” he says gruffly, not looking at the kid. Then, because this is the South Side and he ain't nothing but pragmatic, he adds: “You think it's gonna get violent, tell someone you think might roll with it first and bring them to back you up. Fuck it, pay someone to have your back if you have to. Or do it somehwere public so someone calls for help if it gets out of hand. Hit them back and hit them hard, yeah? Lots of people gonna think you're a pussy for taking it up the ass, or giving it or whatever, and you wanna shut that down real quick, or you gonna be having the same fucking conversation over and over. You hear me?”

The kid nods jerkily. He still looks slightly terrified – which is good because the last thing Mickey needs is some teenage queer running after him like a kicked puppy – but he looks strangely elated too. Hopeful, maybe; determined.

Mickey lets out a long breath, like a sigh. Can't quite belive he is doing this, but: “You have somewhere to go if shit goes sidways?”

A shrug. “I dunno. Maybe. I have an aunt down in Alsip. Maybe she'd let me crash there.”

“Give me your phone.” The kids looks surprised but does as he's told without comment. Mickey quickly enters his own number and hands the phonbe back. “Things go south, you text me,” he says. “I might know a guy who can help.” Though if that happens he is absolutely dumping this on Ian, who probably knows a lot of people who live for this short of shit. Fucking hippies.

“Thank you, man,” the kids begins. “I really - “

Mickey waves him away. “Yeah, yeah, get the fuck out of here.”

The kid does and Mickey remains standing there for a moment, staring after him and wondering what the hell just happened. This is all Gallagher's fault, he decides. Shit like this you can always safely blame on Ian. Not that he'll mention any of this to him, because fuck no.

And if few days later there is a text from an unknown number, saying just: “talked to my family they're pretty freaked but it went ok thanks” and if Mickey does feel a small surge of something not entirely different from satisfaction reading it, well... Whatever. It is what it is. Not like it's gonna be a regular thing or whatever.

But once more, it seems, word gets around, because there will be others. Not too many of them, but enough that it does become a bit of a thing; kids showing up outside his home or his work, or on his way to and fro. Mostly they just want to talk; want some kind of reassurance that there's a way to be gay and South Side, and you can still be a tough motherfucker while sucking some other dude's dick. Mickey primarily provides such reassurance by being a tough South Side motherfucker who swears and scowls and glares at them, but apparently this kind of works? There's a bit of practical advice at times, like “listen, if you brother can't accept you like banging guys he doesn't really give a crap about you so just cut him out” or “don't fucking hesitate, they start with that shit you punch them in the throat, like this”, and maybe a few instances of Mickey hunting down and kicking the shit out of some bullies or family members, if he decides that the kid isn't likely to manage it on their own and deserves a hand.

Now, Mickey doesn't exactly hide this shit from Ian, but he doesn't really mention it either because... Well, he just doesn't. The whole things is fucking weird, anyway. He doesn't know why he puts up with these stupid brats and he sure as hell didn't ask to be anyone's fucking guardian angel.

But of course Ian finds out eventually, and he is absolutely torn between mercilessly teasing Mickey about it (aaaaaw, Mick, it's so sweet that you care!) and just covering Mickey's entire body in kisses because he's so damned delighted and proud (I mean, it is sweet that Mick cares; hot too). In the end he probably goes for both, but pretty gently, because he knows Mickey and knows that making too big a deal out of it might freak him out. Or not. It's always hard to tell when Mickey will be embarrassed about something and when he'll just declare that liking what he likes doesn't make him a bitch. Ian figures it's better not to take the risk, though, not when they are teenagers in need out there! So, a little moderate ribbing, a lot of particularly attentive sex, and Mickey finds that he doesn't mind Ian knowing so much after all, because there's something about that stupid redhead looking at him like he's a fucking wonder that feels pretty good.

So maybe he'll keep on helping the kids, if they keep on showing up. You know, out of pure self-interest.

A/N: I'm still not sure if this idea is my own or if I've seen it discussed elsewhere, which seriously bugs me, but I was too invested in the notion to let it lie. If you happen to know of a fic or meta discussing similar themes, I'd love a link. Also tagging @sickness-health-all-that-shit because you expressed an interest. ;)

Episode 112! *throws self backwards into a field of flowers on a warm summer say*

After the opening!

Damn, this just serves to remind me that Noru is basically Jean Michel Jr with his underhanded tactics

He still acts like a character after my own problematic fave heart, though, getting into that childish spat with the Tyler Sisters

BUT JUST AS THE OBELISK DUDES GO IN FOR THE ATTACK

Edo stops them?!

HE’S SPREADING THE GOOD WORD OF EGAO TO THEM LIKE A STREET PREACHER

THE TYLER SISTERS SEEM TO AGREE

NORU DOES NOT

HE TELLS EDO TO RECONSIDER HIS ACTIONS

BUT ONCE EDO’S MADE UP HIS MIND, IT DOESN’T GET CHANGED

AT LEAST NOT WITHOUT AN ANGSTY YEAR LONG JOURNEY THROUGH A WAR TORN CITY

GRACE LOOKS LIKE SHE WANTS TO JOIN EDO IN HIS GLORIOUS TREASON

GLORA HAS SOME RESERVATIONS

BUT GRACE CHARMS HER INTO SUBMISSION, AND THE GIRLS DEFECT!

I am so. Happy.

LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE WHOLE YUTO SITUATION TO THE THREE OF THEM

I GET THE FEELING EDO IGNORED THE WHOLE POSSESSED-THING AND IS FOCUSING ON THE EGAO’S FOR NOW.

But wait

NORU IS STILL HERE, COMPLAINING AND THREATENING THEM ALL WITH EXECUTION

DAMNIT NORU, YOU NEED TO GET IN ON THIS EGAO LIFE

Oh

HE’S RANTING TO TWO SMALL XYZ CHILDREN ABOUT HOW EVERYONE IS LATE AND EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE

But the girls roll up, carryng what i presume is soup or some other edible liquid

Gloria still doesn’t understand what the hell she’s doing there, but Grace convinces her that she’s done the right thing

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES

PLEANTY OF OBELISK STUDENTS ARE ALSO HELPING OUT

MY HEART FEELZ FUZZY AND WARM

The Lancers discuss things amongst themselves

Even Kaito seems to have changed, that old son of a gun c:

AHHH EDO IS HELPING OUT TOO

WAIT NOW YUTOS SPEAKING TO EVERYONE THROUGH YUYA

So they’re all having a heartfelt talk

Yuya eventually comes back

Edo enters the room and drops what’s presumably a BOMBSHELL

A good, not lethal bombshell!

Everybody moves on to some room

Shun is in some kind of incubator?

[raefynntestng]

AI Dungeon Nezh’a Dream

You are Nezh'a Moshantu, a rogue living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a long steel dagger and a length of rope. You walk down the city street looking for somehwere to steal from. You look around and see that it's pretty quiet. No one is out and about, so you decide to go into an alleyway where there might be more people.

> Look for Una'to the fortune teller

You find Una'to the fortune teller sitting at his desk with a book open on his lap. He looks up when he sees you approach. "Hello," he says.

> I'm looking for the Una'to

Una'to smiles and nods. "Yes, that's me. What do you want?" he asks.

> Tell them you're looking for somebody to steal from

"Yeah, I know what you mean. It's really hard to get anything done here without money."  Una'to thinks for a moment before replying. "I can help you out if you like."

> "How can you help?"

"I'll give you whatever you need."

"Can I come in?"

Una'to takes a seat behind his desk and beckons you over. As soon as you enter, he closes the door and locks it.

> Wink at Una'to.

He blinks at you and then nods. "Okay, let's start with what you need."

You take out your coin purse and hand it to him. He inspects it briefly before nodding. "Alright, well how much does this cost?" he asks.

> "For you, it's free. Wink."

"That's great!" he exclaims. "I'll get back to my books and let you know how much I got." You nod and leave the office. When you return, Una'to has left his desk and gone outside to meet you.

> Ask how much they got.

"It depends on what you need. For example, I've been told that a few of the nobles are having their horses stolen by some bandits. They're being held hostage until they pay off the bandit leader.”

> "I am the bandit leader!"

"No! I am the bandit leader!" he exclaims, then sighs. "The bandit leader is holding all the nobles hostage until he gets his ransom."

> Invite Una'to to help you assassinate the bandit leader.

"Sure, why not?" Una'to heads into the woods where several bandits are fighting each other. The fight goes on for quite awhile until one of the bandits manages to stab another in the neck with an arrow. He falls backwards and attempts to crawl away but then collapses dead.

> Congratulate Una'to on killing the bandit.

"Good job!" you say. "Now, I'm going to kill the bandit leader." You walk towards the group of bandits and begin to swing your sword at them. One swings his own weapon at you, but you dodge it easily and send him flying through a tree trunk.

> Laugh at the bandit leader as I stab him.

He laughs in response. "Oh no... You're gonna have to be more precise than that." You quickly move your sword so you don't cut yourself while stabbing the bandit leader. After a couple of tries, you manage to do it successfully.

> Wait for Una'to to kill the bandit leader.

"What happened to you? You were supposed to be better than this!" Una'to walks up to the bandit leader who is still lying on the ground. "He was trying too hard." You watch as Una'to begins to slowly slice open his throat.

> Stop and think.

"This isn't working. This isn't working."

Una'to stops and looks down at the bandit leader's body. "Well, if you can't kill someone without practice, maybe we should just go back to our village."

> Steal the bandit's money, then return to the village.

"No, I guess we should keep going. We can try again later when we have more practice." After hearing this, you decide to take the money and run back home. However, before you leave, you grab Una'to's hand and tell him to stay behind.

> Steal the bandit's money, then return to the village.

As soon as you get home, you start stealing from the bandits. It doesn't take long before you realize that there is a lot of money to be made. In fact, it seems like every time you pick up a bag or pouch full of coins, something good happens.

> Steal the bandit's money, then return to the village.

You continue to make a living by stealing from the bandits. Eventually, you become very skilled at it and even catch the attention of some of your friends. They see how much fun you are having and they want in on the action.

> Start an underground criminal enterprise that steals from bandits.

The next day, you head out to the nearest bandit hideout. Unfortunately, it's also the place where most of their friends hang out. You sneak around and find that they are all drinking beer and playing cards. "Hey! What are you doing here?!"

> "I'm here to rob you, of course! Prepare to be stolen from, bandits!"

They look surprised, but they accept your challenge. "Yeah! Let's see who's really got the skills!" You raise your sword and charge forward with your companions following close behind. The bandits aren't expecting anyone to come at them so they don't react right away.

> Cut off all of their thumbs and steal their gold.

With a few quick cuts, you rip off all of their thumbs and throw them into the air. Then, you snatch up all of their gold pieces and run back to your own hiding spot. "Ha ha! That was easy!"

> Celebrate with Una'to.

"We're gonna do this all the time!" Una'to nods and smiles. He grabs your arm and pulls you closer together. "Let's do this all the time."

> Flirt with Una'to.

"So... what are you wearing?"

"It's my wedding dress."

You nod and smile. "That's pretty cute."

> Get married to Una'to.

You kiss Una'to goodbye and run outside to join your other two companions. After exchanging vows, you all begin making plans for the future.

> Learn that Una'to is possessed by a demon on the day of the wedding.

After the ceremony, you go down to the basement to check on Una'to. He looks so tired that he can barely stand up straight. His eyes are red and puffy, his face is pale and his lips have turned blue. He falls backwards onto the floor as you rush over to him.

"Una'to! Get up!" He doesn't respond, instead he just closes his eyes and begins shaking violently. You quickly grab his hand and pull him up.

> Watch as the demon takes over Una'to's body.

As soon as you touch him, he shudders in pain and begins convulsing. You feel something like electricity running through your body as you try to stop the demon from taking control of his body. "No! No! NO!"

The demon has taken complete control of Una'to's body. He lets out a horrible howl, which sounds like it comes from deep within hell itself. Then, he bursts forth from his coffin and runs towards you.

> Threaten to kill the demon if it doesn't release Una'to immediately.

"Stop it! Stop it now!"

Una'to lets out a scream of terror and fear. The demon stops before reaching you, but continues to look at you with its bloodshot eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please let me go."

The demon stares at you for several moments and then slowly turns around to walk away. It walks back into the room where the rest of your friends are waiting.

> Attempt to stop the demon from killing my friends.

You grab Una'to's arm and force him to turn around.

"Please! Just let us go!"

The demon turns around and nods. Then, it raises both of its hands up into the air and releases a burst of fire from them.

> Fall to the ground, and desperately try to quench the flames.

Your skin burns and you scream as the flames consume you. As they burn, you hear screams coming from behind you.

"Suzy? Are you alright?" A voice calls out to you. You turn around and see a young girl holding a candle in her other hand. She holds the flame close to herself as she approaches you.

> Look at the girl, and ask if she is the demon inside of Una'to.

She looks at you and smiles. "Yes, that's me." You stare blankly ahead as the burning sensation in your flesh fades away. Then, you realize what happened. Your friend was possessed by a demon. You were powerless to do anything about it.

> Attempt to stab the girl, since I know she is actually the demon that was inside of Una'to.

You quickly rush forward and stab the girl in the chest. Her face twists into an expression of horror as she falls backwards onto the floor. "Oh no... Oh God..." She cries out as she clutches her wound.

> "Die demon! I'm not letting you take Una'to!"

You pull out your knife and stab the girl repeatedly in the stomach. Blood pours down her torso as she collapses to the floor. "No! No! Not again!" She screams as she attempts to crawl away from you. You continue stabbing her until she dies.

> Check on Una'to.

You run over to Una'to who has fallen unconscious on the floor. He still hasn't moved. His body is cold and he doesn't move at all.

"Una'to? What happened?"

> Desperately try to revive Una'to.

You kneel next to him and hold his head in your hands. You don't have any strength left to even lift him up. "Una'to, wake up! We need to get out of here!" He doesn't respond. You shake his shoulders and cry out for him to wake up. However, he doesn't stir. The only thing you can do now is leave this place. As you turn towards the door, you suddenly feel something heavy being placed on your shoulder.

> Turn around to see Una'to barely standing, but alive.

You turn around and see Una'to lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. He seems to be breathing, but very weakly. "Una'to? What happened?" You ask as you stand back up. Una'to slowly gets up and sees you. He stands there in shock.

"I didn't mean to kill you."

> Realize I am a ghost.

You look at Una'to and you realize that you are a ghost. A spirit of sorts. You begin to float closer to the ground, before falling into unconsciousness. You awaken from your sleep feeling like you've been asleep for quite some time. Your eyes flutter open and you find yourself staring at the ceiling of a small room. There is no one else in the room except for a table with three chairs facing each other on it.

> Realize it was all a dream. Una'to is gone, and I am alone.

You quickly sit up and see the chair closest to you empty. It appears that someone had just taken it away from you. "It's not real...it's a dream..."You sit down and close your eyes again. After a few minutes, you finally fall asleep once more.
