Walking Corpse, Part 2

It’s been a year or so since they left the hospital that night and Dexter had settled in rather nicely.

Michelle - Their mother - was as sweet as can be, helping them out as much as she could. She taught them about the life that they used to live, the things that they liked and disliked, hobbies, etc. It was... really nice, to have someone there for them. They don't think they've had someone like that before.

Dexter decided to continue the animal exterminator business that the previous man had run, though they weren't entirely sure what all the equipment in the truck was for. They would have asked their mother but... looking at some of it...

Probably best they just not touch it.

And not let her know about it.

The hell did the man before them do with this stuff?

They were surprisingly decent at the job. Mostly they just set traps and waited for something to step in them or get rid of infestations of insects. If they caught an animal, they just sent it off to the nearest shelter or pound. It wasn't too difficult.

Currently, they were sitting on the curb next to their car, taking a small lunch break after setting up some traps. They'd check on them in an hour or so, for now just eating a sandwich.

"Meow?"

Dexter paused, hearing the noise and looking around. They spotted a cat - well, more a kitten really - nearby, staring at them. It seemed a bit wary, eyes narrowed, but slowly approached. They hummed, a small smile crossing their face as they outstretched a hand to the animal.

The kitten paused, sniffing at their offered hand. It sniffed it once, then twice, then seemed to deem them as friendly. It purred as it nuzzled against their hand, causing them to chuckle as they gave it a gentle scratch.

Cats were something Dexter grew rather fond of, given how many their mother had. Though the animals were very cautious of them at first, they soon warmed up to them and greeted them with meows.

"How are you doing, little guy?" Dexter greeted, running their hand along the kitten's back with a small smile. The creature meowed and purred, enjoying the touch. They took another bite of their sandwich, continuing to pet the cat. This was a nice way to pass the time.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps - fast footsteps - coming in their direction. They paused, looking up and jerking back as two kids skidded to a stop in front of them.

"HELLO!"

"HI!"

The cat startled and slipped out from under their hand, darting away. Dexter blinked, taking in the two kids dressed as a skeleton and a pumpkin.

...Did they not know it wasn't Halloween?

"Hi?" They greeted. "Why... are you two dressed up?"

"It's SPOOKY MONTH!" the two yelled, grinning at them widely.

"...'Spooky Month'?" they repeated, still confused. The two kids nodded wildly, doing a little dance. They watched, amused. "Well, your costumes are pretty cool."

"Thank you!" the pumpkin kid said, smiling. The skeleton kid tilted his head looking at them closer. "Hey... it's Not-Moloch!"

Dexter froze, a strange chill running down their spine. They tried to shake it off - They didn't know that name and it wasn't even remotely scary. Just strange and...

They smiled, though it was slightly strained. "Th-That's not my name, kiddo. I'm Dexter. Dexter Eroptoph."

"Oh, sorry."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Dexter!"

The three began to talk, Dexter slowly relaxing despite the hyperactiveness of the kids. After a while, they sent the kids off and stood up with a stretch.

Well. That was a nice break.

~~~~

Returning home was a nice feeling. Dexter brushed their hand on some of the cats, greeting them with a smile, before giving their mother a quick hug.

"I'm gonna take a nap, Mom. I'll make dinner when I wake up."

“Oh alright! Have a good rest sweetheart!”

Dexter hummed in response, smiling at their mother as they closed the door. They turned, eyes sweeping over the room, before heading to their open closet. It had been a long day, and they wanted to lie in bed now.

They stripped off their heavy exterminator outfit, lazily kicking it into the closet, before grabbing a plain white shirt. They slipped it on, stretching out as they glanced in the mirror.

They stopped suddenly, squinting at their reflection, puzzled. They could have sworn they saw a shadow, standing just behind them—

Wait a minute.

That wasn’t their reflection—

A fist slammed against the inside of the mirror, making them jump. Eyes burned into theirs, full of rage and hate.

“Give me back my body!” Dexter - The real Dexter Erotoph - snarled.

~~~~

Finally finished this! There will be one more part to this, at least one more that I will write.

Mouthwashing AU where Jimmy gets in the cryopod only because upon being woken up he'd have to explain the corpse party in the other room.

[quadrantadvisor]

Alright new Jason Todd headcanons in a dpxdc setting:

Danny is a "liminal" ghost, rather than a "half" ghost. He's alive and dead at the same time. (He's like Jesus Christ (in the church denomination I grew up in), fully ghost and fully human.) Danny, in human form, can go through a ghost shield, because he IS a living human.

Jason, however, is a reanimated corpse. He isn't a ghost, wouldn't have a ghost core, etc, he has a normal human system that runs ON ectoplasm. Jason CANNOT go through a ghost shield, because he is always an ectoplasmic entity. Danny can go through the Fenton Ghost Catcher and be split into a ghost and a human; if Jason went through the ghost catcher, he would straight up die.

(For my purposes I'm gonna say that Jason became an ectoplasmic entity upon his resurrection, but wasn't very stable. Dunking in the Lazarus pit stabilized his system but also poisoned his ectoplasm.)

I do think that Jason could learn certain ghost abilities if he learned to harness his ectoplasm, especially if they detoxed him off the Lazarus waters. He's probably already enhancing his stealth and strength in ways he hasn't really noticed. I think he's held back by the amount of physical matter he's lugging around, so maybe he couldn't fly, but I'm imagining temporary invisibility, or intagibility of like, a limb at a time. Maybe he can't walk through walls, but in a fight he can dodge by instinctively making the targeted part of his body intangible.

Walking Corpse AU - Part 1

Patty rubbed her eyes as she walked into the morgue, already tired even though her shift just started. The mayor had assigned her a few autopsies that needed to be done, the first on the list being one 'Dexter Erotoph'.

He was a weird case. He had been declared missing back in June, having been last seen by his mother leaving for a job and never returning. She hadn't really cared about it much, until his body was suddenly on one of her tables when she walked into work in October. There had been a little sticky note placed on him: 'Work on this like the others. Don't ask questions. Don't tell anyone outside of the Mayor and Head Doctor about this.'

'Or else.'

Well, there goes her list of questions. She liked her paycheck (and life) a little too much to disobey the cryptic letter. So, she decided to hide his body in storage as she worked through her list of 'patients', down until it was just him and a few others left today.

Her reasoning for that? Well, it was mostly because he was just plain horrifying to look at. The main cause of death had been a simple neck-snapping, but it appeared as though his body had been brutally mutated. His mask had fused to his face somehow, sharp teeth circling what used to be the nozzle. Horns sprouted from his head, while claws fused to his gloves, ending in sharp, dangerous tips.

She also hated seeing his eyes. They kept following her, even when she was far away from the morgue, far out of sight.

So yeah, she didn't want anyone to walk in on that when she was out of the room. Especially if she was supposed to keep this a secret from virtually everyone.

Patty began to set up for Dexter's autopsy, back turned to the body lying on the table. With her back turned, she didn't notice the body twitch.

Or how it slowly began to sit up.

She only noticed, when a sharp crack filled the air, making her flinch. More cracks followed, and she slowly turned, looking at the...

...body?

He was sitting up, staring at the wall away from her. He looked... different now, more normal. The claws were gone, his skin was no longer gray, and the horns were slowly receding into his head, shrinking until they disappeared. She stared, frozen, as he began to look around, never turning to face her.

holyshittheywerestillalive-?!

Slowly, he turned around, body turning to face her. The two blinked at each other.

Patty reached for the intercom button somewhere next to her.

"Mort, I have a fucking situation down here."

~~~~

Mort stepped back from the table, frowning at his new patient.

"Everything seems... normal. No abnormalities or even injuries. No signs he even died."

Patty leaned against the wall, frowning behind her mask. "How? His neck was snapped and his body was mutated. People normally don't recover from that."

The man shrugged, handing Dexter a pen to fidget with. "Hell if I know. The only thing that seems to be wrong with him is the fact he can't remember anything."

Clicking filled the air as Dexter played with the pen, a little delighted smile on his face. The two glanced at him, then returned to their conversation. "Oh, and he's mute. And no, I don't know why either, since his vocal cords seem intact."

Patty huffed, looking at the newly undead patient. He seemed... so unlike the nightmare that she had to hide away for months. That almost scared her more than when she first saw him.

“So… should we call his mom?”

Mort nodded, already bored again. “Yeah, sure, whatever. Tell her that he just wandered in without any memories and no injuries.”

“Mhm.”

Mort left, leaving her alone with Dexter. Patty rolled her eyes - Typical Mort, leaving her with the work. She grumbled as she grabbed her phone, dialing the number left on Dexter’s medical file. He was watching her as she called, head tilted curiously.

"Hello, Miss Erotoph? This is Patricia Azure, I'm a doctor at the hospital. Your son turned up today- Yes, ma'am, he's fine. However, he doesn't seem to have any memories- Oh, right now-? Um, okay, I'll bring him- Or that. That works too, ma'am. See you then."

She placed down the phone, looking at Dexter. He stared back at her, expression curious as she gave a strained smile. "Well, your mom is coming to get you soon. Hopefully, she'll be able to help you with your memories and... your life."

He said nothing. She looked away, unnerved by his constant staring. It almost made her miss his more demonic appearance. "...And, uh, sorry. About the whole... locking you away in a body cabinet. If you even remember that."

His eyes dropped to the floor, and he began clicking the pen again. She sighed, looking away. Well, so much for that. Guess they just had to wait until his mom came.

...Which wasn't long apparently, as she felt her phone ring. "Guess your mom's here. You wait here, I'll go get her."

With that, Patty took her leave, with Dexter now alone in the room.

...They looked down in their lap.

It was very strange, their situation. Apparently, their name was 'Dexter Erotoph', a man who had been missing for quite a few months now, only to suddenly reappear in the hospital. They lived with their mother and worked as an exterminator.

Except, that wasn't right. They weren't Dexter Erotoph.

At least, they didn't think they were. It was just a feeling, that told them that this wasn't right. That something was off and that they were in the wrong body.

Maybe it was just the whole memory-loss thing that they had going on. Or the trauma of the 'mysteriously dying in a horrible but suddenly coming back to life' thing. That could explain their feelings of wrongness.

Yeah, that was probably it.

They continued playing with the pen, clicking noises filling the air again. It was a comforting sound, for some reason. Definitely better than the silence and their thoughts.

The door opened again. They looked up, only to suddenly be wrapped in a tight embrace. They stiffened, eyes locking onto the woman again.

"Ma'am-!" she tried, seeing their uncomfortable expression. "He doesn't- He might not-"

Her words were ineffective and she gave up fast, giving them a helpless shrug. So they were left trapped in an emotional embrace, unsure of how to react to the strange woman - their mother - clinging to them.

They braced themselves, about to gently push her away-

"I was so worried," she cried, voice shaky and sorrowful. They could feel her tears soak their shirt, her body trembling. "I thought something terrible happened... I'm so glad you're okay..."

...

They - Dexter - slowly wrapped their arms around her. A loose hug, but a hug nonetheless.

Even if they weren't actually Dexter which they knew they weren't they could pretend to be. If only to help ease the pain and grief that their mother had experienced.

Besides, it's not like the actual Dexter was ever gonna come back.

Chapter 2 of "A Murder Shared Is A Murder Thirded," the latest adventures of the Valicer In The Dark trio, just went up! Please enjoy Alice getting some good advice from Gryphon as the trio prepare to invade Houndsditch; Smiler passing their Sway roll against a confused June in the kitchen very easily; Victor being deeply confused about how easily Smiler talks to people; and the trio getting Alice's stuff from her room while Victor and Smiler try to convince that living in Elder Gutknecht's old home is way better than letting herself get Hollowed or taking her chances on a cargo train to another city.

Should my AU where Beetlejuice possesses the dead body of someone Lydia knew and they have to sleuth out what actually happened to him together be called…

[lockpickingliar]

Ah, I realised that I had forgotten to ask an important question!

While the Kaitos of the group work their way through their appearance questions, and before I move on to asking those same questions to those with origins stemming from the second game: when is everyone's birthday?

You may remember in the past that I asked this to the Kokichi crew. They say that all of their birthdays are the same, although Kichi saw a chance to confuse me, and we ended up with two dates. It didn't matter because I noted down both! I use the dates to show people their Hanakomon (which, in short, is your birth flower by day, not by month), because one, I love flowers, and two, it's interesting to note their symbolism and see if it does or doesn't relate to oneself.

Going off the dates of each character from the game which many muses here are based on, I would have:

Hajime, from the Cotard System: 1st Janurary (the canon birthday of Hajjme Hinata).

Hajime, from the Nilla Wafer System: 1st Janurary (the canon birthday of Hajjme Hinata).

Lyre: 26th March (the canon birthday of Kaede Akamtsu).

Altair: 14th April canon birthday of Kaito Momota).

Lumin: 14th April (the canon birthday of Kaito Momota).

Plum: 14th April (the canon birthday of Kaito Momota).

Clover: 28th April (the canon birthday of Nagito Komaeda).

Eda: 28th April (the canon birthday of Nagito Komaeda).

Mae: 28th April (the canon birthday of Nagito Komaeda).

Fuyuhiko: 16th August (the canon birthday of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu).

Umami: 3rd October (the canon birthday of Rantaro Amami).

Those who I do not have a date for are:

Izuru Kamakura from the Cotard System.

Izuru Kamakura from the Nilla Wafer System.

Are the dates that I currently have correct? If not, what should they be changed to?

And please, may someone fill me in on Izuru's (Cotard System) and Izuru's (Nilla Wafer System) birthdays?

Thank you! And I hope I'll be able to show you all some cool flowers before long! >:)

- Saber

All of those are correct!

Nilla (Izuru of the Nilla Wafer System) self-identifies his birthday as June 21st, allegedly the day he awoke.

Izuru of the Cotard System (he calls himself Cotard's Corpse, but Cotard himself and Hito both agree it's a bit dehumanizing to keep calling him that so the next time he's around we're going to see about finding an alternative) self-identifies his birthday as March 22nd, the day he and Hito escaped the lab facilities under Hope's Peak Academy.

Thanks for wanting to confirm!
