"Men like you deserve so much better. What a shame for mundane jobs to rule you're life."

The blonde couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Did he deserve so much better? Did he deserve anything at this point? --- that was the real question. Sitting there, his eyes were placed on the other for a moment or so -- it always seemed like the other wanted to bring out the worst of him when he was around. Kento was lucky he was off the clock or he would be after this man.

He always followed the rules, and maybe that was the downside of his life -- but, he couldn't help but it. There was a devil and angel on his shoulder telling him what he should be doing, and what he shouldn't -- if he didn't have to listen, he would.

but sadly he did.

" Can't really bum around and be boring now. If I don't do something, I might die -- I can't just sit around and do nothing. Although I wish one day that the rulers won't have to follow me, so I can let loose. Not as if it would ever happen."

Shivan laughed softly, head tilting to the side. His lips curl into a slight smirk as he watches the other leave from the corner of his eyes. Slowly he turns his gaze back to Liesel, a small shake of his head following the words as a blush crept onto his cheeks.

"No need for that at all darling- really." He assured, leading her back over to where he'd been sitting. Shivan gave a playful wink as he slid back into his seat, crossing his legs. "I've been in similar situations more times than I can count. And, he didn't look like someone who would take the word no very well from a stranger."

Shivan held out his hand, smile widening to a more cheerful expression. "But I pulled you away and didn't introduce myself. Shivan, the pleasure of meeting you is all mine."

@eleutheriya liked for a little something. ( for Logan)

"Oh, my favorite morning actively. Drinking and being grumpy. Didn't think I was the only one, but here you are. -- " he couldn't help himself. He had to tease the other for a moment. Who knows what the other was going throw, but knowing tony himself -- he didn't care, there was always something Tony liked to do, and if it was pissing someone off, then he's going to do so.

" So, what's got you drinking? Forgot what time of the day it was?"

[x-knighthood]

"Ya really ought to consider at least gettin ONE tattoo." The once captain carefully ran a brush through his long, black hair, prepping it for her rosemary oil. "Tell ya what the wearer's story is an' what they're about. Got no tattoos means ya got no story!"

Ah.. here they went again. Tattoos.... Of course, he wanted to respect and embrace the culture he's been adopted into. Sure, the knight had a few things he'd considered, but there wasn't one he could set his heart on. "I HAVE considered it, I have!" he said , crossing his arms with a pout. Graham knew it had to be.. special. Whatever it was. But the anxiety of something potentially... not being the best thing in the end scared him to death. Ohhgh....Just her touch alone made the knight melt, even while sitting criss-crossed! He knew it'd make her happy.... but the pricks and the needles! Graham was brave, but-- he was also a bit of a baby. Okay. A BIG baby. Prickly thorn bushes and the claws of purple badgers was bad enough.

"I-- I just dont think I've done anything... significant enough, okay? At least, not nearly enough as you have. "

"It's fine, I've gotten into trouble for far worse." Shivan winked, turning as Palmer stepped out. "So sorry about that, director, but we couldn't seem to get your attention and I feel terrible that your ride was waiting for so long, but I suppose we can't keep you here forever, after all."

He moved over, batting his eyes a little. "I'm sure we can make up for it next time- I'll make sure to pass it along that your next visit is even better than the current one, and I'll personally see to your drinks as well." Shivan had his act down to a T- one moment he was giggling with Thera, and now he was acting ever bit the perfect Honeybee, down to his subtle movements.

He glanced over at Thera again as he moved behind Palmer, making a playful face at her for a brief second. "Let me walk you two out, at the very least. You're still flushed."

Running off to hide ... or being dragged along by Shivan, trusting his direction because she was giggling too much to effectively run on her own. Oh yes, the memories were certainly coming back!

"Oh," A choke and splutter, keeping as much of the laughter away from her lips and contained in her shaking chest, "I know, I know ... I'll totally take the blame!" That, too, might have stirred recall if there'd been room, but one better for being missed; regardless, if there was any trouble she was the cause, and would happily say so.

Somewhere behind them she could hear - or maybe was just imagining - Director Palmer scrambling and assuring his current Bee that this was ridiculous, must be a misunderstanding, not to worry her pretty head ... Thera shrugged, lips pulling down in thought, "Butter's not so bad. Not saying he's attractive, but he's not as horrid as some."

The door to the room burst open, revealing a thankfully dressed Director with a red face and a huff, "I assure you, I do not have a wife - !"

"Yes, I know." Her voice made him jump, eyes widened, "But you do have a chauffeur, and she would like to get a move on, please."

@trireign - s.c.

Once upon a time, her mother had created little slips of paper, scrawled with letters the young girl had only meager understanding of at that point. It was a prayer, her mother had explained. A warding spell to keep yokai and other demons away from their door. As long as those slips were there, and they were blessed by the sun wolf, then no yokai would ever step foot in the Calatia cabin.

That had been then. Robin had become a young adult, her parents and big brother all gone. The slips tacked around the house had eroded with time, and the blessings had begun to slip away with the daughter’s reluctance to perform the Kagura every year. This fear, this anxiety and self hate… Had let a demon in.

Despite slaying many ugly, terrible creatures every night per her inherited mission… Robin had never seen a demon so beautiful... but it was a beauty one might find in the shimmer of a knife, or shining blue of an poisonous octopus. Something about that made her more frightened than anything ever had before.

“What are you? Who are you?” The wolf didn’t make a move for her mother’s sword, still laying in its sheath on the living room table. Waiting. A distant hum, holy sun-lit magic beginning to awaken under the leather exterior keeping the blade safe. Keeping the stranger safe from it.

“You look lost. Did the crowd swallow your friends up?” It was so easy to get separated in the crowds of Shibuya, even easier to get lost entirely. During the busy hours the crowds were like waves. If you got pulled into one going the opposite direction you were headed, there was no going against it. Not without risk of being pulled under at least. You could wind up anywhere like that. If you didn’t know the streets it could be hard finding your way back too.

“No need to look so worried. You could just ask someone for help~ I’m sure some kind soul would be overjoyed to help!” Not her though. She had better things to do.

a sigh left his lips. " You might trip and fall next time if you space out like that. You better take care of yourself. --- But if you want to talk, I know I'm a stranger, But I'll be more than happy to listen."

Broppy Capture AU, where Branch didn’t confess after World Tour, but a love confession when all hope seems lost is just what they need to free themselves from Velvet and Veneer.

Over the long years, Nanami always understood what was going on, how some things were planned out -- but the day, he knew the other last his best friend there was no one to replace it. Gojo had lived a lonely life he tried to fill --- no one could have filled it. Nanami e especially, never wanted to be someone's second, so maybe it was a reason to keep everyone at arm's length. but he had always watched the other -- he knew the limits the other hand, so hearing, seeing everything the other had, so hearing him talking the way he said what he would normally say, he couldn't help but smirk. ❝ Looks like someone finally grew up. -- but you are right, we can't protect everyone, even though who we are close to... If Yuji had heard what I wanted to say, I might have cursed him, and he wouldn't have needed that.❞

waving his hand, he couldn't help but not care at this point.❝ it doesn't matter what I worked for -- in the end, I don't think it would have made a difference if I stayed or went. I can't help what I knew might have come in the end -- right?❞ he sighed, wondering what his life would start feeling like every day -- being so burnt up. trying to work out what he wanted in his life. who knew. Yet, he listens to the other. a soft smile on his face. ❝ if this is your way of trying to get me to teach longer, you might be onto something. and in Kyoto, far away from you? I really must be dreaming.❞ he teased.

❝ . . . maybe so . ❞ as satoru matured over the years , he's more than seen what suguru geto had been trying to get across to them ; that the world looked down on them for simply existing . they were all tools for a better world whether they wanted to be or not , and while satoru used all his energy trying to save others , he couldn't save everyone . suguru . nanami . okkotsu . itadori . ( are you strong because you're satoru gojo ? or are you satoru gojo because you're strong ? ) he didn't even have an answer to that question nearly ten years later . ❝ . . . there comes a point where we just can't protect them anymore . if i had died , it would have been everyone's burden , but especially megumi's . i wouldn't forgive myself if i cursed him . ❞

❝ . . . i'm sorry the life you worked so hard for got taken away from you . if i'd been quicker , not fallen for that trap in shibuya , maybe it could have turned out differently . ❞ how uncomfortable , giving voice to his failures , he felt like there was a lump in his throat that couldn't be swallowed around . what could he say to lighten the situation ? ❝ . . . you know , i bet it'd make itadori happy to get to learn more from you , don't you think ? in fact , i know a few students who would probably appreciate your way of doing things than mine . that is , if you wanna teach in tokyo and you're not running off to kyoto or something ~ . ❞

Since he's been home, Nanami just hasn't been in a good mood. He wanted to relax and get some rest today. But -- He felt off, and he didn't want to put anything onto the other. Sitting there at the table, he looked at him for a moment and shrugged his shoulder.

"It was fine. Though I somehow lost glasses today. So reading has been a little rough and I don't have my second pair. Other than that, it wasn't too bad. how was your day? Did the shoot go well today? how many more days do you have to work on it?"

[artistmarchalius]

can you tell us more about broppy capture au?

Sure! Here’s a little somethin’ somethin’:

So, Branch didn’t confess his feelings to Poppy at the end of Word Tour, he felt like it needed to be its own thing and that Poppy deserved to be in the moment after saving the world. He thought there’d be plenty of time to confess later. They still have a good connection though now that they’re better at communicating.

They’re out in the hot air balloon on another adventure when a strong wind knocks them off course towards the woods near the base of Mount Rageous and they get stuck in a tree. They aren’t able to shift the balloon on their own so when they see Velvet and Veneer (who are out hunting for Trolls to use) they ask them for help, but instead V&V capture them.

V&V now have a Troll to use each (His and Hers Trolls) and because Velvet is more trigger happy with the spray bottle, Poppy deteriorates quicker than Branch.
