Comments

[supplement]

[ Keigo got a big laugh out of Kon for the perfect impression of Ichigo. He was particularly impressed by how Keigo got the sour expression perfect, even to the last weird forehead wrinkle. If he cared at all about maintaining a good cover for Ichigo he'd have made a mental note to ask for tips on how to make his frowning look more authentic. As it happened, he was mostly just very amused by the completely accurate assessment of his roommate. Yeah, that Ichigo sure was the total hideous package of big nerd and dumb musclehead.

He gave a big shrug at the question and shook his head, the very picture of someone who has long since given up trying to fight his terrible lot in life. ]

Walking out when he gets too annoying helps. So does setting his alarm clock for 4 AM on the weekends. I get duct taped to the ceiling for a couple hours for it butttttt it's pretty worth it.

[ Kon snatched the bottle to fill his own glass; the memory of the patterns on the Kurosaki household's ceiling tiles was something else he'd like to drown away with alcohol. Unfortunately drinking didn't seem to do much for him either, other than enhance his tendency to be loud and obnoxious. ]

I should be asking how you're even friends with that guy! S'not like I gotta choice when it comes down to it. You hang out with him willingly!

[ The appalled tone in his voice was just slightly exaggerated for melodrama. How Ichigo, the most surly, uncute, hot-headed punk on the planet managed to make as many friends as he did was a mystery to him.

Well, that's a lie. He had personal experience with Ichigo's special brand of crabby charisma, but still. ]

(( ♥ ah if it isn't my favorite shitty exorcist. yes of course! ))

i love him

[natoris]

So harsh! ( shuuichi presses a hand against his chest for mock-drama, heaving out a dejected sigh. as long as the island was no longer in any immediate trouble, his duty was complete after some final filming. the process has taken a lot out of him and hanging around handa is...refreshing. he's interesting, to say the least, and very sensitive to the paranormal. didn't he babble about seeing a ghost before in the hospital? it's still not enough for him to let the guy in, but it's at least a slight affinity, even if it's a reach. plus, he seems too easily shaken up. he couldn't ever really know the extent of what's going on...though with understanding comes far less fear. ) You talk like a love interest who is trying to hide their feelings, you know.

[matobas]

[ So, it's late, so he's tired of the usual paperwork that Nanase brings by for him to read ( clan matters, naturally - they might be an exorcist family with a respected and feared name, but that does require certain formalities too; business is business and all that ).

It doesn't take much to glance over at his mostly unused cellphone - they text once in a while, what difference does it make tonight? They've hated each other since high school ( well, hated is relative, Matoba doesn't really deal in black and white ), it's a way to pass the time.

The odd slip up after one or two clan gatherings notwithstanding, he's had very little contact with Natori over the years ( contact is relative too, he supposes ).

But, tonight he's bored. ]

The camera does you no favours, you know. Neither do the scripts, but I'm sure you knew that.

Lasulahn laughs at that. It's a gentle sort of sound. "Oh, I can imagine," he muses. "It seems he made good acquaintances with some of the Chantry ladies, before we even left Haven." It was difficult not to overhear the Chantry sisters tittering something about 'thanking him' for some such that Bull had did. And that she had 'thanked him all night' or something equally ridiculous. Accidentally overhearing that had left Lasulahn's cheeks colored for a good five minutes after.

"That does explain some of the rumors I've heard." Not that any were spoken when people realized the Inquisitor was around, but he'd had an easier time of it, when people just thought he was a random 'knife ear' wandering about camp.

The mental image Krem has is one that makes Lasulahn loft his brows. "We have blankets, Lieutenant," he says gently. Granted, it was mostly by trade because they wandered too often to have sheep or farm linen, but really, they weren't savages. And while that might not have been Krem's intention, Lasulahn is so used to people assuming the Dalish are just that, that the response is all but automatic. At least he doesn't sound offended by the notion.

"My clan primarily roamed the borders of Nevarra and Antiva in the Free Marches, so wandering in the snow wasn't really common for us, either." He looks outside as they pass the window.

[pleasureanddeath]

Zevran says something, and whatever it is, it's in a soothing tone, but it's spoken in Antivan. And then, "Rest. You are safe, so long as you are with me."

The assassin had little qualms with interjecting himself into others affairs, especially if he thought it was to defend the weak, or to even out the odds on an unfair fight. And the more danger that put on him, as opposed to whomever he was helping, the better.

The girl tending the inn seems accustomed to Zevran wandering in hurt, but bringing someone else in that's wounded is new. "You look none the worse for wear," she quips at him, even as she motions for him to continue up the stairs. "I was a little late this time," he answers loftily over his shoulder. "Brandy and some warm water to my room, if you would, my dear?"

His room - because it does indeed seem to be one he's been staying in, given the few personal effects placed about - is at the top of the stairs. By the time Zevran has laid Ren on the bed, his arms are a bit weak, and he's slightly winded; he's in good shape, and strong for someone of his size, but carrying someone a few streets over was no small feat.

"Where are you still bleeding? I'll bandage that first. Your side here?"

1-9 [Winter] - 1/2

[abundantlove]

Somehow, Molly felt like her current situation was the exact opposite of the way things should be.

She was a Precure now. Training and stuff like that was to be expected. She had been excited about doing it at first, but... this wasn't a life Molly had been prepared for. She was sheltered and spent her time being shuffled around, and she had an overprotective aunt. Physical exertion was not something she was used to outside of gym class.

And it showed.

She was currently lagging behind her "teammates", who'd dragged her out on a run to improve her endurance. And on top of that, she felt like she was covered head to toe in sweat, and like she might fall over any minute. Letting out a groan, she found the nearest post to lean against.

"C-Can we rest for a minute? I'm... I'm really tired..."

[rennotrin]

He's too out of it to even insist that he can walk. The world keeps spinning, too, and Zevran's winded state doesn't elude him even before the assassin sets him down.

"..Yeah. Hold on. I'll..."

Sluggishly, he forces himself up a bit (with a whimper) to start working at the straps holding his armor in place. Or at least, the ones trapped underneath his weight. Once they're dealt with, he lets himself fall back onto the bed with a heavy breath, carefully breathing through the pain. His eyes flutter closed for a few seconds, but he opens them again to avoid the urge to sleep.

His hand pats over his wounded side, and then listlessly starts trying to peel off his armor, but it's a half-assed effort, fatigue settling in at last now that he's safe. He gets as far as his gloves and gauntlets.

"I was hoping they'd stop looking.... I was hoping they stopped...." He brings a hand to his face, not wanting to show how much he's coming undone in front of him. How much he's trying not to outright cry.

2/2

[jasminebloominginshadow]

A few years ago, Jasmine would have been in the situation Molly was in. But she'd also echoed back a superhuman body with remarkable endurance, so... in a sense "the old Jasmine" was a bit forgotten. So she was well ahead of Molly (whether she was ahead of the others, this writer can't stay) by the time when she heard the smaller girl's plea.

"Eh?" she said, coming to a stop but running in place. "We barely started and you're already tired?"

Jasmine had her doubts about this girl, whether, regardless of her former self, she had what it took for this kind of life. But she also knew that the same could have been said about her not too long ago, so she kept her mouth shut. Nevertheless, she was going to be a bit discerning with her.

Re: 5-15 (also 4-9), Molly

[abundantlove]

By the end of the day, snowmen and snowforts had been built, snowballs had been thrown, and the yard had been trampled through several times amidst all of it. So, Molly was happy to take off her boots and soaked mittens and her heavy coat and come inside and just relax.

In the back of her head, she felt a kind of warm serenity that she hadn't in a long while. Of a time she'd spent with her parents when they'd been able to come home for a period during the winter. It made her happy... but it made her feel a bit sad too.

And then Winter asked her question, and Molly just... sort of froze up. A memory only half remembered, of her mother asking the same question one Christmas. Despite herself, Molly couldn't help but smile sadly and nod.

"I'd love some..." she said quietly.

[fucking_kavinsky]

((ooc:yeah, i guess i should have been more specific lol. i just figured the prompt was for K, since I was doing the starter. Kavinsky was the one who got sent back in time, to when he first moved to Henrietta. So Ronan would be wherever he was at that time, with his dad alive and his family and whatnot. To him it would've been back then as his actual life. But we can work with this too, if you wanna stick with both of them having gone back. Just figured there would be more to actually do if Kavinsky was the one who had the choice of changing things, but if you wanna stick to this way that's cool too!))

your reply and comment are so perfect ohmg i blush ♥

[fallacieux]

[ To say that the current situation had taken a careening and albeit screeching turn for the worst was only emphasized by every sound the Mafia executive kept spewing.

There were a hundred things Dazai could have quipped back in the span of seconds after the words tumbled in the familiar cadence of breath from the shorter figure. every hiss a syllable he could have tapped in rhythm of familiarity.

That's what they were like, once. It's why he knows Chuuya is moving for his knife before the other even positions himself into a stance - rise and fall of breath, rustling of fabric as his shoulder dips to reach back in a fluid motion. ] A new low? [ His voice echoes slightly, even if it's lower than usual. Despite that, he laughs, a hitch of air that tells his genuine amusement. ] Ha-ha, did you just make a short joke youself so I didn't have to?

[ The flashlight works against Dazai's favour, as it should and he squints against the light, the sting of it still a lingering phantom in his vision and the shithead keeps talking and -

- he could curse, dig not-so-deep for some colourful language and it would still not define the position all that accurately. Technically, even he would give Chuuya enough credit to know that the other would see his wound.

Though if technicalities were being addressed, he did shine a bright light directly on it so maybe he was giving the headache just enough credit.

He hadn't realized it before, or maybe he didn't consider it, but now that the focus of attention was directed all onto his shoulder, he could feel the effects of it far too well. If this was a subordinate of his before, he would have told them they deserved it for their errors; it was a Mori school of discipline. It was hard not to see this as his mistake, anyway. It pissed him off more now that his ex-partner was there to yap at him.

It's the sort of feeling set in ghosts of memory as much as the present; bullets and flesh and blood and he can still wear a sickle grin even as blood loss registers, wet and sticky and uncomfortably warm against a soaked sleeve.

In the dark, he couldn't see the trail of blood he was surely leaving behind, too. In fact, he was honestly happy with his progress up until now. The power of his denial had helped not notice the fatigue, how damn light his head felt - the throb of pain his only companion.

Then Chuuya's hand settles harshly on the open wound just as Dazai is formulating a sly retort and it's caught in his throat against the sharp inhale in some choked sound that he forces belatedly into another laugh. a little too late, a little too strained. ] Always knew you were into the rough stuff.

[ His other hand flicks out immediately to Chuuya's wrist, still fast and sure, finds skin that's startlingly warm against his slim fingers, telltale drumming of a pulse beneath a feathered grip. ] I was doing fine until I saw your ugly hat. Now I just might pass out on principle!

[ and yet, standing still instead of being in motion, his legs don't feel steady at all.

and yet, he actually considered between throwing up and passing out, and doesn't know which he would want to do first.

and yet, Chuuya offers this and it feels too starkly close to those times. Dazai knew exactly what weight the other's insistence held. That wherever he was going to lead him would be a place that would completely compromise him, should Dazai let the location slip.

He wanted to have that to hold over him. It would be as powerful a play as the letter and to see chuuya's angry face would be pure joy to Dazai. Except for a few factors, a major one of which is the incessant grip on his shoulder, steering him forward. The other factor was the disorientation he was currently trying to grapple with, a culmination of his senses swimming. ] Ha-ha, what are you doing?

You'll get my blood on your trashy clothes - although I wouldn't mind seeing you cry over that.

[ Chuuya should leave him. Walk the other way and pretend none of this conversation ever happened.

and yet, he asks a beat later, with no hint of ulterior thought: ] What about your mission?

[smoothkreminal]

"I wouldn't doubt some of those templar recruits we've got were in on that action as well. He doesn't discriminate. Though I'll bet that lot were a bit more discrete than the chantry ladies." Krem is casual when he talks about the Iron Bull's conquests, having been around him so often that his endevours don't fluster him as much any more. Of course if it were him though, then those tanned cheeks of his would flush pretty just like the inquisitors.

Though, at his comment, Krem looks over, surprised and suddenly lifts his hands, trying to explain, "What? No, no I was talking about me. I'm sure you've got blankets. I just think of the commander's big fur he's got on his shoulders when I'm cold. Never had that sort growing up." He's well aware of the relations between Tevinter and the Dalish, but he hadn't meant to make the other man assume he had those same ideas. Neither of them seemed the worlds perfect poster child of their nation in any case. "It's enough to think about it when you're cold anyways. Especially on the coast where it's always raining. Seems we get sent there the most. The whole troop sloshes back home with water in their boots the long trip home."

And after it's to the tavern to warm up, find a nice chair and relax with a bottle or a pint.

"Nevarra's a little cooler but I can imagine that Antiva was nice if you didn't bother the locals so much. I wouldn't want to tangle with the crows if my life depended on it, though I suppose one day I might have to."

[pleasureanddeath]

The Antivan wouldn't let Ren walk even if he was wounded himself. "Easy," he says gently.

When Ren gives up trying to tug his armor off, Zevran is there, efficiently unbuckling and pulling pieces open or away. Numerous bed partners have given him the ability to know the workings of heavier armor, even if he doesn't wear it himself.

There's a knock on the door, or rather a dull thud that sounds somewhat like knocking. A foot nudges its way in the door, and then the rest of the tavern girl, looking a bit fussy. "You should take better care of the poor things you bed, Zev," she quips, setting a large bowl of water on the somewhat rickety looking nightstand. Zevran glances over his shoulder. "Truly, Soph, you think I would be so negligent?" The girl hums, and fishes a bottle of brandy out of her apron to set down. "Maybe not." she concedes, and returns to the door. Before leaving, she adds, "You're gonna have to pay for those blankets, sweetie. Blood don't come out." "Yes, yes. Now, if you do not mind."

The girl mutters something in Antivan, shutting the door behind her. "Now then," Zevran says quietly, and continues to undress Ren's upper half, carefully peeling away layers of cloth so as to hopefully not immediately reopen any wounds.

He doesn't have the luxury of time to stop and cradle and soothe Ren, but he does pause to grasp the hand covering his face just for a moment, as if to encourage him to cry openly if he wanted. "It is alright," he says in a low, gentle voice.

His expression hardens then. "You only have to ask, my friend, and they will not look for you again. I would swear it."

literally 3 times in a row, what kind of fanfic has it been reading

( why you...!! )

I don't remember giving you permission to touch me. ( defiantly he tugs on it again. Hak has to admit that it's strong, if it can resist both of them; even if he's definitely the strongest, Jae-Ha's no weakling either. ) Where did you even find this thing?

[ It's nice, having the peace keep. It was a good three weeks, but finally things mellowed between Wanda and Sam enough that the two of them could talk, relax — hell, he even caught the two of them snarking at each other once or twice, which for both of them is a damned good sign.

Maybe that's why a little celebration didn't seem like such a bad idea — which is how they ended up getting a nice Italian dinner, Sam and Wanda splitting a bottle of cheap wine while Steve enjoyed a good three entrees all on his own. By the time they head back to the hotel, everyone's spirits are pretty high (some more than others, courtesy of a light buzz), so turning in just doesn't seem to be on the table just yet. So they all piled into Sam and Steve's room, the radio playing quietly in the background while Steve read off his phone. ]

No, really, apparently this is a thing! They've done studies and everything!

[ He scrolls down — a bit of convincing by Sam had seem them all upgraded to smart phones for their burners — while reading the article aloud. ]

"The final task Ms. Catron and her friend try, staring into each other’s eyes for four minutes, is less well documented, with the suggested duration ranging from two minutes to four." But it says here it works, and I mean, it's the New York Times.

[ As though that somehow affirms it to authenticity. ]

the fantastic kind tbh full korean drama levels

[Every time he does that, it feels like his finger is going to pop out of his socket. Ow. But he doesn't seem to mind it all that much, simply flopping a bit with the motion before sitting up straight again.]

That's a secret. ♥ [So, somewhere weird.] Everyone will be getting to sleep before us, at this rate. Are you going to be keeping me up with your complaining?

The wound itself is a bit deep, aggravated by his movements, but it's obvious that it's tried to coagulate properly more than once. He doesn't look his way, so he doesn't see the hardened expression.

Ren's binding shirt will need mending, for certain, but it's done a good job at keeping his wound compressed, at the very least.

"I honestly don't want them dead, Zevran," he replies shakily. "Their minds are strange, but all of them were familiar faces. We were family.... I just...."

Biting his bruised lip, he flinches at the pain he causes himself, and stops, sighing. His tone is watery as he speaks.

"I don't know. I feel like a child again. And that's not a happy feeling for me. I only wanted to walk my own path outside of their lives. Outside of their rigid, dictated-by-birth roles."

He still keeps his face covered as much as he can, though it doesn't stop the tears from falling.

"They're only dangerous to me, as far as I..."

Ren stops again, realizing that he's making excuses for them. Or trying to. He sighs again, lifting his head a bit in order to deliberately thump it against the pillow in frustration. it doesn't help anything.

"...Fuck."

Sniffling, he wipes his face with the back of his hand and tries not to utterly break down.

"...I'm scared..."

[ Eyeing him doubtfully from behind her cards, Wanda scoffs, though it lacks any true venom. Half a bottle of wine does wonders for the disposition. ]

Your New York Times also called you a public menace who is solely responsible for the rise of vigilante justice that is tearing this country apart. [ A pause. ] I do not believe it.

[ That said, her eyes return to her cards, grimacing. Oh yes, she remembers the article that slandered him well. How convenient it must be to find a single individual to blame, rather addressing the true source of the problem. A moment passes, before she pulls a card from her hand and drops it in the discard pile, pulling a new card from the pile next to it and adding it to her hand. ]

Your turn, Sam.
