#but that fell flat for one reason and one reason only: WHO IS SENSHI MEANT TOKILL????

[shrimper]

PLS TALK ABOUT DUNMESHI GHOST TRICK AU!!!

YAAAY WELL!! IF YOU INSIST!!

so briefly to discuss the main roles. chilchuck is yomiel, izutsumi is sissel, laois is lynne, falin is the equivalent of kamilla and marcille takes on the role of missile ! (thus, marcille is also ray, && i’ll elaborate on this later)

the plot is similar to ghost trick!! (…kinda) (not really)

brief plot overview!! it happens in a similar enough universe to ghost trick, but the races from dungeon meshi pass over . i don’t think there will be a dungeon but don’t quote me on that one

but Anyway um. yeah chilchuck got divorced by his wife and it was BAD his wife took the house took the kids he was SO fucked. he dropped out of his job (which was…ummm. engineering maybe, if not rogue ?) and entered a spiral of depression > drink to feel better > hangover > depression. he was quickly gaining an addiction . LUCKILY FOR HIM he had a bit more sense than his dunmeshi counterpart — enough to recognise that his reliance on alcohol was a Bad Thing — so, in order to Recover (or at least replace it with something) he adopted a cat ‼️ he named her izutsumi and they became best friends, especially since it was likely chilchuck wasn’t going to live much longer after she died (half foot lifespans)

a few months into this he was falsely accused of armed robbery . he already had a pretty bad reputation around the area for being somewhat of a lousy guy, so he was taken into questioning and then. yeah whatever happened with yomiel 👍 temsik meteor, holding lynne (or in this case laios) hostage, etc etc

you know how this goes . chilchuck got revenge on the officers who cornered him && now senshi is in prsion . yeag . he (senshi) had two wards under his care, who were laios and falin. they all also shared an apartment with falins VERY close friend marcille who was very intelligent but not wise at all !

the first loop happens, and marcille got stuck there but sticks with it in the hopes of saving falin (…why? what happened to falin. can anyone hear me the number of plot holes in my own au are astounding). she eventually took the form of a log with a small sprout at the end of it (a reference to her staff) . she calls herself ‘bud’ !

you know the rest. izutsumi wakes up, sees chilchucks body & assumes it is hers and continues on without knowing how to read. etc etc .

“what about the characters you haven’t mentioned?” i’m working on it 😭!! i’m thinking senshi is jowd, Maybe (if not obvious by the story overview). kiki is inspector cabanela, maybe, and namari and kaka are her Right Hand Detectives(TM) with varying amounts of respect for her (playful sibling rivalry vs. kikimari perhaps?), but that does leave the issue of ‘why does senshi know kiki???? hwhuh’. shirou is the justice minister, maybe??? inutade is also here in the form of a dobermann i think. somewhere . inutade izutsumi best friends every universe

#gt/dm #shrimper chatter #it’s not fully fleshed out yet so if you have ideas i’d be more than happy to hear them 👀 #i’m unsure whether to lean into the gt-ness or dm-ness but ah i will manage !!! #also in this one izutsumi is Full Cat #—ish #AND there are so many plot holes slams my fists into the ground. is it clear i haven’t thought this through #my original plan was to make senshi have been falsely accused of murder. and he confessed and was slapped in prison #and chilchuck would have did what Yomiel Did for revenge / as a form of protest. and shit. bcoz he knew senshi was innocent #but that fell flat for one reason and one reason only: WHO IS SENSHI MEANT TOKILL???? #that dwarf guy he foiught with?!?!?! IDK #still i do think my previous idea is better because it makes chilchuck seem much more sympathetic…idk idk #anyway as for falin… she’s kidnapped by whoever beauty & dandy are right? something happens maybe . hmm #maybe she was killed by the rock the first time ? #ghost trick spoilers #loveandfrogman

Sometimes I do have to remind myself that I can actually write

I just went through a bunch of scraps and snippets and a huge pile of the awesome stuff @clockworkangel and me have been creating for our decade long head canon.

It’s obviously part of an AU, but it works without much further context as well soooo... enjoy, I guess? 

She knew approaching Michiru wouldn't be easy. Minako had tried before and every attempt had failed. Aside from any official gathering Michiru ignored her. She didn't even so much as to look at her and while she and Haruka had every damn right to do so, Minako could no longer bare to be avoided like this. 

She didn't hope for some kind of miracle. Minako was after all clever enough not to expect some kind of heartwarming reunion, not after everything, not after what she had done to both of them in the past. If anything Minako had to finally get these damned words out and off her chest and what better place was there to ask Michiru Kaioh for forgiveness then this?

Maybe it came with a certain irony to it, but at least that's what Minako thought Michiru seeked from this place herself. She came here frequently. Minako had found out about this rather by accident and quite some time ago. However, it at least gave an explanation to why the roses on the side never seemed to wither.  White roses, the color of innocence, untouched by time. There always were 41 one of them. No more, no less, one for every name written on the memorial side. 

Minako wondered for how long Michiru had brought them up here. A long time for sure, for the undying flowers had already become some strange kind of legend among the villagers. Lost in her own thoughts it caught Minako off guard when Michiru suddenly addressed her and she silently cursed herself for the second her attention had wandered off. 

„What do you want.“

Michiru didn’t even bother to turn around. She had sensed Minako’s aura long before the leader of the inner senshi had approached her. Michiru’s voice however, as well as her posture was everything else then welcoming. It no longer surprised Minako, it really didn’t, yet it still send a cold shiver down her back. All of this used to be so different…

Minako straightened herself, not willing to give up just yet, not this time anyway.

„I wanted to talk.“

She half a step forward and immediately regretted her mistake as Michiru now turned with cold, blue eyes piercing merciless down at Minako’s soul.

„About what.“

Michiru barely raised her voice. She didn’t have to and Minako knew enough about Michiru’s powers to know she had to raise less than a finger to shut her up and send the sea down at her- quite literally. Yet for some reason Michiru didn’t and this gave Minako the faint illusion she might have some kind of chance.

„You know about what.“

Minako didn’t move close, but she also didn’t step back and therefore met Michiru somewhat eye to eye with all the authority and strength she could master.

„No I don’t. And it doesn’t matter for I don’t wish to hear it.“

With this Michiru turn to take her leave, distanced, unapproachable and not even willing to give Minako one chance to speak her mind. It was this very last point that silently made Minako’s fist tremble and finally made her snap. She through all her caution down with the wind.

„Michiru wait!“

Some nearby birds loudly complained and took their leave as Minako rushed to catch up with her former friend and ally. 

„God damn it! Listen, I am sorry! I know this doesn’t make anything undone and I wish I could take it back, but Michiru please…“

Michiru abruptly stopped and turned again, making Minako stop in return. Everything about the atmosphere between them felt strangely dangerous. Michiru wasn’t openly aggressive towards her, yet everything about her carefully put together calmness reminded Minako at the sea right before the storm.

„Take it back?“

Michiru kept staring at her, her head tilted ever so slightly and Minako nearly expected to feel a familiar pressure on her chest or water filling her lungs with every further word. 

„Tell me Minako, which part exactly?“

Minako didn’t dare to move. She didn’t even dare to speak and the simple ‚all of it‘ she had formed in her thoughts, even if it was the truth, suddenly felt plain and flat without any meaning.

„The days of torture? The living hell you send her through? Every second of every day you broke her? All those nights her mind wanders back to it and she wakes up screaming and terrified at a place where  your chains hold her down and even I can’t reach her?“

She never would be able to argue against Michiru’s accusation, yet still every last one of them hurt. To know what she had done to Haruka, who had called one of her closest friends…it was still different to hear Michiru throw all of it back to her. Minako swallowed hard as she forced back the memories that had come back for her. They would hunt her later she knew, but right now she couldn’t deal with both her guilt and Michiru standing infront of her.  

„You need to believe me Michiru.“

Somehow Minako still found enough courage and strength not to back away. 

„If I could do anything to help her I would have done it already and a long time ago!“

She had tried.. she had wanted to take at least some part of the pain and suffering she caused away. The fanatic damage she had done however was way deeper and by now had eaten and buried itself deep into Haruka’s very existence and soul.Into this last parts that had not completely vanished.

„It doesn’t matter.“

Michiru’s voice was sharp, her words some kind of eternal judgement in which clearly wasn’t any sympathy or pity left for Minako who so desperately tried to fix whatever bond she still saw between them. After all it was nothing more than a fool’s phantasy, never to come true, never again to be real and Michiru didn’t see the point why she should even spend one more second mourning some kind of friendship that had been lost long ago.  

„Michiru please… I came to ask for forgiveness…We are all senshi after all. We are meant to protect this world together!“

Minako knew by now she didn’t have any right to appeal to Michiru’s kindness or anything along that thought. Yet as her former friendship no longer meant anything, maybe it was at least her duty as a soldier Minako could call upon. Michiru’s opinion however clearly also differed in this point as well.

„We might be, but all your comradeship was a farce to begin with. It is still.“

In these times the rift between them had become clearer then ever. Maybe they had been friends at some point; maybe even Michiru would have said so. For quite some time even she had been lured into this comfortable and happy feeling, but what had happened recently had not only strengthened her power and tested them all, but it also made Michiru see more clearly now. Ever since chaos had spread their little community had start to crumple. Each of them carried an own shadow into their hearts, and even after their victory distrust was rooted deep. It corrupted them all from the beginning and Michiru could even feel it now.

„That’s not true. We all have been friends!“

Michiru thought Minako to sound too much like her princess now, and while she had stopped counting how often Usagi had hold this pledge to her, she sighed rather annoyed for Minako, who should know better, trying the same. 

„Listen, we all screwed up; like…really bad and in an unspeakable and horrible way. If it wouldn’t have been for you guys we would have brought Crystal Tokyo to ruins, but out of everyone, shouldn’t you be the one to understand?“

Minako now longer knew which part of Michiru she tried to reach - the one that used to be her friend, or the soldier resting within. Both of it however proofed to be a poor choice, for Michiru never even questioned why Venus and her Inners fell together with their princess.

„I understand. I know why you did what you did.“

Minako didn’t quite believe the words she just had witnessed. They were the faintest hint of a connection Michiru had denied her for month now, but it also was a bridge to be torn down before her as Michiru continued.

„But tell me Minako, when did you ever truly forgive us for Galaxia?“

Michiru never even expected an answer. One way or the other they both knew the truth already and for Michiru it was a simple pleasure to see the young woman in front of her defeated.

„I am not the princess. I do not share her forgiveness.“

Thanks for dropping by! I hope you had a good time and maybe liked it?
