@twinxmasters asked: "Ha... Haha... I-It says on here that they used this place to conduct these brutal Shinto rituals way back when... Every fifty years, they'd sacrifice this specially chosen maiden and use farm animals to quarter her. S-Something about keeping bad karma sealed in the earth or something... What a load of baloney, r-right? Ha..." He's just shaking because it's cold, obviously.

She can feel the nervousness beside her, their visit has led to something with a sinister backstory - really one for the ages it sounds like. Sacrificial rituals? Bad karma? Intriguing! It's a nice mixture of things that pique the curiosities of the girls, perhaps she will inform Iris of this area for her to enjoy herself. Saying that though, a pang of guilt clenches at Amame as she looks at her companion, out of his element and totally not scared.

"Even if it is, it's a sad story - for the girls and the animals. I guess it's nice to think that the sacrifices weren't in vain too, like, maybe not needed anymore but..." Her voice and mind trail off, it's unfortunate that people gave their lives to protect their family and friends - it's something Amame admires. "I guess I'm not making much sense am I?"

@twinxmasters sent: “I shouldn’t feel bad, right? He was a terrible person. I had to do it.” (From Shintaro)

death was a familiar sight. he was no stranger to it. seeing others die was simply part of the job. part of his job. usually it was him doing the killing. however, this time, he had simply been a bystander in the situation. he had been in the right place at the right time. he'd been a distraction to the others, allowing the boy to take his shot. in the end, it had seemed to work out well.

the stellaron hunter sighed and wiped his sword down, barely giving his victims a second glance. �� never feel doubt in your kills. ❞ he said, his voice soft and void of emotion. ❝ it was you or him. in the heat of battle, you make a choice. whether it is right or wrong is beside the point. you're alive and that's what matters in the end... right? ❞

zuki day 2023 :: ding dong

@twinxmasters sent: Shintaro seems to be struggling somewhat to carry his present for Mizuki in. In fact, he doesn't bother putting it on the table and instead sets it on the floor. It doesn't look that big, and not that heavy for Mizuki, but Shintaro figured it was big enough for a child to get her hopes up at the mere sight of it. "Well, I had to carry that through two train stations, but trust me it'll be worth it. Happy Birthday, Mizuki." Wrapping paper is torn... a second layer of wrapping paper is underneath as Shintaro smirks... Finally once she gets through that, a black box with different dials on top is revealed to her. It's an amp! "This is called a Fender Mustang LT 25. Good, affordable choice for beginners. No matter what guitar you pick for yourself in the future, this should be adequate."

"You carried that all the way here? For me? Why didn't you just call me over or..." No, that is not in fact disdain or irreverence in her tone, it's a particular curiosity. Mizuki knows the kind of person Shintaro is. Not exactly lazy but they definitely prefer less intensive options to demanding ones. Going out was already a lot for the introvert. Night and day in that regard.

"Thanks, Shintaro..." This said, before she even begins opening the box. A point of respect? You better believe it. But that wrapping doesn't get to last much longer than that. A practiced box opener, Mizuki makes it through one layer. Another(??). And then the box.

"Whoa!"

She pulls the amp out of its box, a rain of packing this-n-that falling away. Yes, it's being done with one hand. No, she doesn't care at the moment if this is emasculating. She's taking the gift in, alright?

"I'll make sure to take care of it." She says after it's set down, offering the young man a smile before a grin and mischief appears in her expression. "So does this mean I got your approval to start playing electric?! I wonder how loud this thing can get... I gotta try it out!"

Mizuki thanks you, Shintaro. But her neighbors will not be doing the same.

@twinxmasters asked:

"Here you go, two presents from me!" The short noblesse holds both hands out to Fischl, each one containing a different gift. One, a stack of clear plastic sleeves, and the other... a bloody tooth?

"Some card sleeves for that game you play... and Basil's left molar! Enjoy~."

⠀⠀⠀⠀Huh? that person looks familiar...

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And she has gifts for her?

⠀⠀⠀⠀The Prinzessin blinks in response to the very-nearly-a-stranger, looking at the gifts presented with- IS THAT A TOOTH?

⠀⠀⠀⠀She can feel her stomach nearly turn, hand coming up to cover her mouth as she hears the nature of her gifts. Card sleeves for Genius Invocation, and... Basil's left molar?!

⠀⠀⠀⠀What Basil did was unacceptable and upsetting, but this- his molar? This woman had pulled his molar out of his mouth and... Was giving it to her as a gift?!

⠀⠀⠀⠀The only descriptor that accurately fits her expression is horrified.

"W-why'd you do that-?! I-I know what he did was wrong, but-"

⠀⠀⠀⠀Cautious steps are taken backward.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She's going to be sick.

"W-why?!"

"Chin up, Gray. Looks don't matter as much as you think if Master can get girls!" -Ene

Unprompted: Always accepting!

“ While that’s a good point on the surface, ya’ master isn’t bald && faceless. Plus, I suppose it doesn’t help that I can hold a Bo staff or pair of nunchucks better than I can hold a conversation. ” Gray told the other in a gloomy tone of voice. Well, on the bright side … at least he was good at fighting.

Tick tock tick tock tick tock.

Time is moving faster than it has any right to. Which is nothing unusual for a teen and less so an adult, but for Shintaro it surely must be harrowing to have that beating expectation coming from such a small package. Mizuki has stopped her strumming at this point, the Lemniscate studio now eerily calm outside of Shintaro’s fretting. Which wasn’t helping his case. The ticker is flashing until once again, the eccentric AI speaks up!

Quick Time Event Failed.

“I heard her.” Comes the cold response, stark and cutting the ice of the bickering duo. Unfortunately for Shintaro, Mizuki too was a dealer in the art of questionable information held for the purposes of extortion. “And lemme guess. It’s all just animal husbandry stuff for you too, isn’t it?! Ugh!” Yes, the grade schooler is looking at the musician like he was morphing into a piece of garbage.

But, at the same time… as she squints and stares holes into the guy’s skull…

“Whatever. I don’t even want to hear about it. But.” Now there’s a glint in her eye, folding her arms over the instrument. Is she smirking a little? She is. Oh no. That’s not good. “…good information to know.” Congratulations, Shintaro. You’re now even more under Mizuki’s thumb. Thanks, Ene.

Oh no Ene, what have you done? Well, this practice session went off the rails lightning fast. Why is Mizuki looking at him like he's about to preach to her about the lord and savior Tsunomaki Watame? Wait, that's something Sodom would do. Oh god, she's looking at him like he's Sodom! That's never a look you want to receive!

"Uh... Well... Y-You see, it's kind of... it's..."

"A monument to Master's shame! Take your pick on all the embarrassing things he'd do anything to keep from being leaked onto the internet~."

"It's blackmail! Blackmail, Mizuki! You heard her!"

"Whaaat? Can't I be allowed to steer dear Master in the right direction from time to time?"

"That's not what you keep it for and you know it!"

Seems like they've completely stopped paying attention to Mizuki...

"There is that, and among other things. But if the guide clearly gives misinformation. While a questline was put with so much importance as it isn't now. Still doesn't mean to not tell a player who isn't effected by such, that they still need to complete a further questline in order to unlock other content."

@twinxmasters​

Mary’s eyes are going a little wide within moments. A notable gasp comes from herself, she’s hooked, line, and sinker. Right into this gossip. You’ve got her Ene. Already shaking from excitement, from the thought of what kind of girl is liked.”Tell me! Tell me Ene!”

[orderbourne]

@twinxmasters​ said: "For some people the Halloween's already begun... It's like how they put on Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving!" -Ene 

    “That seems a little obsessive, doesn’t it? Surely, they can wait a simple month...”

[psychcdelica]

"Alright Gwen, nice to meet you!" She seems nice, which is always good when working in the service industry, "If you're okay with getting into your uniform we'll organize all your orientation stuff," hopefully she enjoys the work here, at least there's an eagerness there that Amame wasn't expecting.

"I'll grab the camera and get everything ready! Then we'll go through all the duties and 'start of the shift' stuff."

"You can just call me 'Gwen' for short, it's no problem-o at all~!"

She looked to the right, where her gaze rested on the wall of pictures just by the entrance.

"When do I get my own picture? Are we doing that now? Do I just need to get the uniform on?"

[psychcdelica]

@twinxmasters​ replied: "Oh, I'm sure it's nothing. She calls Master 'Shinny' too." -Ene

“I suppose, however I still find that this is quite sickening.”

[lawain-dimensional-heroes]

"You're like one of those ads on smartphones, always in my face and hard to make em go away and seriously questioning what your creator's intention was."

"Hey, can you give me directions to Burger King?" -Ene

♕ - “Oh I’m sorry, snitching advantages to our corporate competitors is ill advised. Moreso, there happens to be no Burger Kings for a ten mile radius.”

“However! I will like to mention that the Ice cream machine happens to be fully functional. Would you like to open your heart to a Mcflurry alongside our many value meal options?”

Ba da ba da baaaaaaa.

muse questions :: open

@twinxmasters sent: 💢 - mannerisms that your muse has when they’re angry or sad (For Wylan)

Fitting for his Type B Tsundere tendencies, Wylan will get dismissive and evasive when put down with negative emotions such as anger or sadness. He's not malicious (outside of his work) so it's not as though he wants to spread around negativity or take anger out on others (outside of being confronted). So he'll go somewhere else to blow off steam.

Does that mean be more reckless? Make a big fool of himself? That and more! This is for the angrier side of that spectrum. Sadness will have him... pretend nothing is wrong, more than likely. Go on a trip, do something else. Anything else. Fake it till he makes it (usually doesn't).

The one thing he won't do is ask for help. :)

@twinxmasters​ asked:

"Fischl, Cyrus wanted me to remind you that you're behind on your paperwork so-" Shintaro pauses. Observes the Dendrocide being committed. Turns around.
