Oh man writing into a new fandom really is like *poking my head out the worm hole* "please don't come for my life"
The Exorcist (?) Case
A vivia x Miss Detective Reader story
TW: depiction of an assault
Author's whinings: ya ever wanna write some casual fluff maybe with a smidge of angst but you have to figure out some supernatural mystery plot to squeeze in between? Don't you just hate. When that happens. And then you deviate from the little plot you did have for a AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED scene. God what am I even doing writing in 3rd person why did i get stubborn about not using y/n???. I haven't written in forever and it shows. God I hope at least this wip stops having a fucking grip on me now. I. BLAME. YOU @jade-s-nymph
Vivia is just along for the ride and he knows it, sorry guys.
»»————>
You have one new message.
"Hey, guys, what if i became an exorcist? How stupid does it sound on a scale from 1 to 10? Yeah well I met this one guy and he made me an offer and I'll be honest, although he didn't ask for money, I've taken scam calls that sounded less shady. I'm not sure it's just some scam but yeah it's suspicious, since I know i have net 0 spiritual power, but i guess you need a sceptic normo there for good luck?? Rightfully I should leave it well alone, but that just means he's gonna find some other poor sucker. Only call me back if you do think it's stupid!"
Halara Nightmare sighed before calling back.
"If you wanted help getting a hold of Vivia you could have just said so."
The person on the other end laughed awkwardly.
"As you well know, I don't work for cheap."
They stopped laughing.
On a train station platform, a pair of feet tapping back and forth, finally stopped; replaced by too many more to count, the measured rhythm drowned out by a crowd of people, like a sudden rain in the late spring.
Eyes searched the crowd to no results. Rightfully, the person they were waiting for shouldn't have been so hard to spot, if they were not–
Oh.
"Excuse me," she timidly asked a conductor "are there any packages sent for the name..."
...
Bum....
Bum...
Bum...
"Ma'am, there is a lift here..."
"I hate lifts." She said and meant it; continuing to drag the huge suitcase down the stairs, painfully slow, and with an unsuccessful attempt at delicacy.
...
"Alright this place is inconspicuous enough," she said and lightly kicked the suitcase "oi. Still alive or should I just burry you like this?"
"Ahhh... I wanna die someday..." Moaned the suitcase with a surprisingly deep voice.
"Not on my watch."
A tall figure, to whom the voice actually belonged to, emerged. "Just when the ride got smoother too..."
"Well!..." Words failed to convey her indignation. She pinched the bridge of her nose. "I can't believe you actually came in a suitcase... I heard people can suffocate like this!"
"It wasn't too bad."
"I'm not gonna send you back in it though."
"You're sending me back already?"
"Of course not! I haven't even- Ah! I have a pack of biscuits on me! We can eat on a bench in the park over there and I'll tell you the rest!"
...
She opened the pack, handed him the first biscuit and watched him eat it for two seconds. Realizing that staring was a little weird, she took one for herself.
"So you met an exorcist?"
"He says he's an exorcist. At the very least, he's the priest that takes care of the shrine in this town. There aren't many of those left, as far as I could gather info.
There are rumors that the shrine is haunted, which is why I went to see it... And when I said I always wanted to see a ghost, he said I could become an exorcist." She shrugged.
"As we all know thanks to the WDO's thorough examinations, I do not have a single drop of spiritual power in me." Her shoulders dropped at that statement. "Buuut he hasn't tried to scam me off money. I can't tell for sure if he does or doesn't have actual spiritual powers but..." She paused to chew a biscuit very thoughtfully. "There have been a couple of... Unexplained hiking accidents around the shrine over the years. Lately they've been saying they look like suicides. It's tourists, since locals know by now to stir clear of the place."
"What's unexplained if they look like suicides?"
"Ah, sorry. At first, they looked like hiking accidents. That is, because not a single one was witnessed by anyone. That was around...6 years ago. After it happened again a few times, they've put signs and bars around the cliff and slide. So now they look like suicides, because you would have to purposefully ignore all that in order to fall to your death."
"Is that really so suspicious?"
"Even if it's naturally less likely to have a hiking accident in a group... Not even a single almost-accident to happen in a group... Oh and 6 years ago is also when that priest just came to the town cuz he got appointed to the shrine."
"Are you going to reveal your working theory soon or...?"
"Right.. The question is if the police just being incompetent. Those guys sounded stumped about it. They don't like the idea of this town getting known for tourists dying here... and they'd have little reason to cover it up for the priest, since he just came here 6 years ago, and it's not like he made himself extra popular with the locals... If anything, I think they would've been glad if they only had a way to pin it on him, but there's no evidence. And... "
"And...?"
"Not a single one of them is even cheating on his wife! Can't even blackmail anyone, so I don't know for sure what they did with the investigation..." Her head shook in disbelief at the sorry state of the industry. What's a girl gotta do to blackmail someone these days?
"...And that's why you called for me?"
"Yes. And...next are you going to tell me what picked your interest enough to come or...?"
"You asked."
"Hm?"
"It has been a while..." He took a biscuit and chewed on it slowly.
She resisted the urge to say 'yes it has' despite the long silence.
"Your investigation has been very thorough. That means I don't have to do a lot. I'm glad..."
"Yeah, well I wouldn't call you here for nothing."
A surprisingly gentle smile touched the gloomy man's eyes. "You have grown a lot as a detective."
"Ah... Thank you. " her pout melted into a shy smile, eyes darting down to her lap. If he peered closer, he could see her ears getting red.
".... Vivia..."
"Yes...?"
"...Have you any opinions on exorcists?" It was not what she really wanted to say.
"Hmmm... No, not particularly."
"Huh."
"What do you plan to do when you find out the truth?"
She gulped involuntarily. "I have thought about that too, but it is hard to decide before I do know the actual truth."
When they both reached for the last biscuit, she broke it in half and they shared it.
"Well then... If you don't mind..." He said, laying down, as if it was the most normal thing to do.
"I don't have to tell you to head back if it gets uncomfortable, right?"
"No. I'll be careful."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
She stroke his hair gently. "I'm counting on you."
Well, usually when I get a shady offer like that, it is because someone's trying to kill me, but I hope it's nothing worse... Then we'd have a problem...
Oh and I hope I don't wake up with an extra "convincing fee" from Halara!
Time passed gently. Wind blowing through the trees now and again. The sun peaking and hiding from behind the clouds like a child. The gentle rays cascading through the leafs, the shadows playing on the girl's face and the wind brushing her hair, as if trying to cheer her up with no success. Some other time, she could have wished this moment would never end, maybe if she didn't have as many things to consider. Instead of basking in the peaceful silence, her mind raced miles per minute. A drop of oil in water.
Her brow may have gotten used to frowning, but it was tired.
Eventually, the man next to her woke up.
"Well....?"
"It's..."
"Ah! So we got the worst case scenario!"
There had never been more sarcastic cheerfulness and there never would be.
"Are you-"
"I am angry."
This might have been easier if i got here while a crime scene was still fresh but...
She took a long, deep breath, like a swimmer about to dive as deep as they can go.
Then exhaled it with a weary sigh as someone carrying a huge rock up a hill would.
"I don't wanna let that happen again. I can't."
A soft call of her name dragged her back like an anchor.
"This is not a job for a detective. "
Instead of answering her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Supernatural cases are near impossible to bring to court..."
" ah, you have experience?"
"... Which is why I never bothered. Believing in ghosts... People either do or don't. It is hard to believe in something they can't see... And even when they see proof of otherwise, they will try to preserve their own worldview..."
"I figured as much," she sighed once more, voice still thick with grim resignation, but with a hint of sympathy.
"You..."
Vivia was not very good at expression. Most people assumed him cold and indifferent and moved on with it, but she was always attentive and pacient, although still not always successful in figuring him out. But in that moment, it was clear as daylight he was bracing himself to ask the next question. As if afraid to even utter it, let alone know the answer.
"If you can't solve this by exposing the truth... Would you–"
In the golden-red light, the red arch framed the twilight sky like a perfect picture. One would think you could start a staircase to Heaven.
Which is why she did stop to take a quick shot.
A man in a long robe approached. "May I see?"
"Sure, why not."
The priest was well spoken, in just the right way to be irksome, and had a habit of asking intrusive questions. But even if he would've had a personality that endeared him better to the locals, he still didn't have the local accent.
"You have a very good eye for photography."
"Thank you very much."
"Have you come to give me your answer?"
"I have to wonder... Why would anyone bother to exorcise a ghost?"
"Do you not find it unnatural? Do you not think spirits should go to their and not intervene with the living?"
"Hmmm. In life, at least, I think people should be free to be where they wish."
"Even if a ghost was tormenting an innocent?"
"As long as it has nothing to with me, I don't see why I should go out of my way."
"How self-preserving. And yet, you said you wish to see a ghost. Is there a particular ghost you wish to see."
"No. I have not been so unfortunate to lose a loved one yet."
"Then...?"
"Are you truly done guessing? You seemed like the more capable type."
"Did you think it would be fun? Would you enjoy the danger?"
Really, the steep beyond the arch was underwhelming for the safety bars and warning signs that preceded it. The cliff a little way off would have been a better place to pick if you were keen on committing suicide in this town, but corpses seemed to stubbornly pile at the bottom of the steep downhill beyond the red arch.
The darker it got as the sun set, the harder it got to see how the ground started descending. Suppose if you were not careful, you could trip in the dark and break your neck falling down.
Slowly the gate to heaven was closing.
"Do you still wish to see it?"
"If it was interesting."
"If you so wish, you need only look down."
She stepped foward.
The priest stood a respectable distance away. No move. Not even a suggestive nod.
"Hey, so if you wanted to throw me over you should probably hurry up."
The priest chuckled. "Why would I ever do that?"
"Oh geez, I'm sorry, did you not murder anyone here before? Have I misunderstood this?"
"..."
Aaahh... We are in the pits.
As a curtain of thick darkness fell, the arch turned into a gate to Hell.
Is this... What Vivia saw...?
A sea of hands and ghostly faces. Reaching out. Calling. Demanding. Pleading. Not a drop of spiritual power ran through her and yet she could see it so clearly.
Like the force of a rope dragging her foward.
One step. Another. Get closer. But not close enough to touch. An inch away from stepping to the other side. She did not look away as if in a trance.
Then she turned around and marched back, quick enough to see the priest's expression change from something like pity to a shock too sudden to think.
"What do you think you're doing!?" She yelled.
He looked between her and the gate, stumped. "No... No no no no! What do YOU think you're doing! You have to go through!"
"Through what? Why? You mean down the hill like everyone else? I have no intention of dying! never did!"
The man's face slowly changed from anger to panic. "You don't know what you're doing!" He stepped foward.
"Don't you dare touch me," she hissed.
But he did. He pushed her foward. Dragged her back to the gate screaming.
"Look at it," he said. "If you don't go... They will come here! They'll come for all of us! So you must be the sacrifice!"
He was close, if she just did one toss. One shift of the weight to turn the balance around....
"If you can't solve this by exposing the truth... would you take justice into your own hands? Would you push the culprit down the abyss?"
Her eyes widened in shock, lips thin. She looked, eyes closed.
"If there was such a thing as divine justice... Or karma... That is what would happen. It would just happen... Without anyone trying...But I don't believe in divine justice. I'm a detective not a judge. That's not my job."
"This isn't just a case of the truth being impossible to proove... Even then... This isn't something you can solve by just finding out the truth."
"I know. But I have to do what I can now. As a detective... And as a human. I have to catch that guy so he doesn't just get the next sucker he finds. And then... Well, I'll have to find the someone who CAN deal with this.
"I'm sorry," she said even though she didn't have to. "But can I rely on you a little bit more?"
...
Contrary to popular belief, ghosthood was not cold. If you were cold, that would mean you were alive, afterall. Not cold. Not warm. Comfortably numb.
As Vivia returned to his body, sense slowly creeped back to him. He felt warm fingers gently stroke his hair back. Such sensations were memories at best. He couldn't even remember if he liked it or not.
The expression that greeted him was eager.
"I have the times of death..."
She sighed with relief.
She felt the edge of the railing hit her back. It hurt.
The gate closed.
So we guessed right... That's why the times of death were always at sunset...
"Step away!"
Once more, the Priest was paralyzed with shock.
"You..."
The cops apprehended him. He kept screaming "You don't know what you did!"
She breathed slowly. In and out. Heart beating a mile per minute.
"Are you alright?"
The familiar voice alone soothed her. Slowly, her gaze lifted up to find a hard of breath Vivia. That was a rare sight. She managed a smile for both their sakes. "I'm alright. You had perfect timing."
The other cop of the pair approached "Miss, are you hurt anywhere?"
"I'll feel that bruise tomorrow but that's all. Thank you... It could have been worse."
"Just duty. You were lucky the mister over here heard something and called us! Can you talk about what happened?"
"Oh, here!"
She pulled out a recorder. And rewinded it.
...
"If you don't go... They will come here! They'll come for all of us! So you must be the sacrifice!"
"This is..."
"Good for pleading insanity? Yeah."
"Did you know he was gonna do that?"
"Given the weird offer he made me... I was a little worried."
The cop shook his head in disbelief. "I thought that guy was just annoying not insane..."
"Anyways," said the other one "are you coming to the station or not?"
"Oh yeah. 100℅ pressing charges."
A few Hours Later
"Sorry for making you wait!"
Vivia put his book down. "It's fine. Did everything work out how you wanted?"
"They're gonna detain him for a while... For an examination and a trial will take a while. So I have some time." She looked tired but satisfied. "Alright! I feel like ramen now! Let's go!"
"...Aren't you worried?"
"Those are NOT things to decide with an empty stomach and no sleep," she said grabbing his hand to drag him down the road. "I'm getting you some too. As a thank you."
"Can we slow down?"
"Ah, sorry."
It was very late at night. The streets were not lighted well. Most people should know better than venture into the side streets, unless theh were really foolish.
"Hands up and toss me your wallet!"
"Ugh. Just my luck."
The wallet hit the wannabe-robber's face. The knife flew out of his hand with a painful kick. She grabbed that hand with a tight grip. "What now, genius?"
The wannabe-robber— a kid, maybe 13?; now that she could look closer— froze like a rabbit.
"Hmmm... All right, you might as well join us."
"Huh?"
"Vivia, pick up my wallet."
The tall man obliged with a sigh and a complain the boy couldn't quite hear.
"We're getting ramen. Come on."
The strange woman started dragging both of them down the street.
The boy's stomach growled loudly at the mere mention of food.
"Thought so. What's your name, Kiddo?"
"... Kimi."
"Well, Kimi, I just caught a culprit tonight, so I'm in a charitable mood, lucky for you!"
"Caught someone...? Are you a cop?"
"HAH! Cops wish they were me!"
Kimi reluctantly glanced at the tall man next to him. He was also strange, but in a different way. "And you...?"
"Me? I'm just along for the ride," he sighed. But unlike previously, it didn't sound exhausted. In fact, there might have been a ghost of a smile tugging at his lips, but he couldn't quite see it in the dark. "You could just let him go home."
"No way! What if the cannibal on the town over gets him?"
"Cannibal?!" The two exclaimed in unison.
"Ah, no. I'm kidding! Well not really, but don't worry about it, someone else is handling that case!"
...
"Ah, this ramen is delicious!"
The owner of the stall perked up and received the complement graciously.
She turned to the boy. "Well, Kimi... You're gonna have to do better next time. I'm not even that good with fighting stuff, you just don't even know how to hold a knife right."
"Are you," Kimi whispered " a Master Detective?'
"Nah, I don't have one of those fancy Forte things."
"Oh..."
"Disappointed already? I met quite a few crazy smart detectives who don't even have a forte, you know. They were like Sherlock Holmes."
"Really?"
"Yes. So, if you were to become a really good thief, maybe even a famous phantom thief, I or one of my friends would catch you!"
"I can't tell if you're trying to encourage him or not..." Vivia whispered next to her.
"I don't know where I'm going with this either," she whispered back.
"Is Mister Vivia also a detective?"
"Yes, an amazing one! He's done it longer than me!"
"Is that how you met?"
"Ah, how we met..."
"Was it on case?"
"Well, there was a case, I suppose."
"Can you tell me?"
"Nuh-uh."
"Please?"
"Hmmmm. Maybe when you're older?"
"I am old enough!"
Kimi waved excitedly at then before he got into his home.
"I have no idea what I just did. "
"Well... You kept a kid from going hungry..."
She noded satisfyingly for an answer.
"... And may or may not have encouraged him to pursue the life of an outlaw," Vivia added.
She winced.
"Oh, right. You don't have a place to stay, right?"
"I could sleep in the park."
"Not on my watch. I can sneak you into my motel room. Do you prefer the top of the bed or underneath it?"
Said "motel room" consisted of a bed merely big enough for one person to sit it. The only thing making it more luxurious than a prison cell was the lack of window bars and the (dis) tastefully colorful drapes.
As soon as they entered, Vivia sprawled on the floor next to the bed.
"Hey, I was kidding!"
"I am... Not moving... Any more... "
She rolled her eyes and layed the blanket over him. Then gently lifted his head and pushed the pillow under it. "Good night.... Thank you for everything."
Despite rolling her eyes earlier, she was also too exhausted to even bother taking her coat off and collapsed on the bed.
Vivia felt a tug at the hem of his coat. He turned around to see a sleepy certain someone, hand outstretched, face down like a zombie and one move away from falling off the bed completely.
Did he get worse at sneaking off or did she get better at noticing?
"... Here... " she groaned in a hoarse sleepy voice as she tugged.
Was she not even fully awake??
In an attempt to lay her back so she didn't fall off, he found himself wrestled down and pinned underneath her with her head heavy on his chest, like a very determined koala bear.
"... I'll...miss you when you're gone... So...just...a lil..." Her breathing slowly evened again.
Meanwhile, he layed wide awake, hyper aware of the silence of the room, her breathing, his own breathing, the warmth of her cheek on on his chest, the weight of her over him, and most of all, the loud beating of his own heart in it's cage.
But this was the most peace and quiet they both have gotten in days.
He sighed in defeat. She did always managed to get the best of him.
»»————>
I can't cuz it literally went.
Vivia: I wonder now Y/N's getting on with her detective job? Sure, I'll go check on her.
Vivia: what do you have there?
Y/n: a potentially murderous self proclaimed Exorcist
Behind her: *Huge ass gate to the Spirit World*
Y/n: Don't worry. I have a plan. *drags him around*

"all you have”
Her tail twitched in annoyance, flicking back and forth rapidly, not matching her vacant expression in the slightest. “I’m sorry. What did you just say?” Jody’s voice was cold as ice, just begging for the Priest to repeat the vile he had just spewed. The Liepard’s crooked smile twitches at the edges, managing to make that devilish grin of his flash even more of his teeth. He turns around gracefully without returning her eye contact, gently pawing at his collar with the claw on his thumb. “I called you stupid my doll. Did perhaps the cotton around your hood clog those ears of yours?” Jody’s fist clenches inside her pocket, already ready to snap out and use fire punch right against this guys jaw. Her fingers begin to simmer and get hot just anticipating for him to turn around and face her one more time. It wasn’t so much the insult that got to her, but the nickname he had for her drove her practically insane. Hearing his voice spit out that nickname felt like nails dragging down her spine. She was already planning on killing this guy anyways, but that was originally business, but now it was a bit more personal. But his voice rang out inside her violent thoughts, taking her back a bit “Hitting me wont solve your problem Doll. Killing me wont either, but I bet you’ve already set your mind on that, just like other things”
The Liepard gently strolled over to the cliff’s edge, gracefully sitting down on the edge of the fence to turn and face her. The irritation wasn’t so much showing on her face, god her face was so stagnant wasn’t it? It deserved some sort of award, keeping a face that apathetic surely was a great feat. But unlike her face, her body language said otherwise. He chuckled a bit outloud at the sight of her tail tip flicking away. Her clenched fist grabbing the inside fabric of her jacket could even be seen. Oh she was furious alright, that wasn’t his intentions, but surely was a bonus on his end. He calmly places his hands up under his chin, much like a excited schoolgirl would, kicking his legs back and forth rapidly in a mocking manner. “Oh golly Miss Jolene. Do you REALLY think that once this is all over things will be normal? Oh gosh darn I think she does! Oh look girls she thinks it will get better oh darn what a shame!” the felines voice hissing out in a high pitched mocking tone towards the scrafty in front of him. Jody’s brow furrows and lip curls in slight disgust, she didn’t need to see that. Hearing his voice normally was horrible enough. But despite this, curiosity panged at her as to what he meant.
The lizard steps forward in a more calm manner, her previous anger slightly dimmed out by curiosity and mere confusion. Her brow raises slowly and imitates the liepard’s mocking tone. “Oh is that so? Well what makes you think otherwise?”
The liepard’s grin expands even further somehow, excitement at the fact that she was willing to listen. “Oh isn’t it obvious? You people and your revenge are all alike Jolene. You all think that once the deed is done, you’ll feel better! That is only a few cases although. It certainly isn’t in your case Doll.” The liepard’s tail swishes over his body, causing him to disappear, only to reappear right behind her like a cheshire cat. His paws grasp her shoulders and digs their claws in slightly to get a better grip, leaning in gently and whispering into her ear slowly. “You’ve dedicated your entire life to this haven’t you? It’s your only purpose, your only drive. It’s all you have” he disappears again as Jody attempts to swat him away from her, only to reappear back on the fence, lying on his back in a playful manner.
“You’ve been doing this- dare I say FIGHTING for this your entire life. From birth to now you have been striving, charging and plotting this. But have you had time to think of what else you would possibly do? Any other aspirations aside from this only? Sure small hobbies can satisfy short term, but we are thinking bigger here!” He stands on the fence proudly, throwing his arms in the air in a dramatic fashion. “We are talking about LIFE Jolene! LIFE! Not everyone needs a purpose to live of course, but you do. You don’t know anything else!” Jody squints in anger and stomps over to the fence, looking up at him in irritation. He didn’t know her, he didn’t know anything. Her voice became more curt and poison filled. “That’s not true at all. I can do other things. I already have plans for when I am finished I’ll have yo-” Her words were cut off by the felines tail smacking into her face abruptly, his tongue sticking out slightly with a irritated curled lip. “Yeah yeah. Once you are finished you are gonna ‘go out in a field! Have a drink and a biscuit and enjoy life!’ yes yes truly inspiring. But is that all you plan to do? Will that fill the void that this revenge has taken on you? Can you do that every day for the rest of your life? Face the music Doll, without this curse you are practically nothing. Not that it’s a bad thing to say, some people need that drive. It’s natural to aspire, to DREAM! But you don’t dream at all do you? Never have in fact..” Jody attempts to bite down on the tail slapped against her mouth, but he simply disappears once more within a blink of an eye. The scrafty whips her head around in fury, grinding her teeth and tail swishing back and forth.  “So okay, lets say in this... delusion of yours, you are perfectly fine! No more curse, no more having to fight or plot after doing it your entire life. That empty feeling inside magically doesn’t exist for you! You are happily living your life!” Jody turns around rapidly to find the source of his voice. A leaf falls on her nose, she bats it away and snaps her head upwards to find him.  Lazily perched on the tree branch, the liepard continues to speak. His eyes wistfully gazing at the clouds suddenly snap to make contact with hers. “Does that really excuse or change all that you have done? You truly are a cruel person aren’t you?”
Jody’s body stiffens at the words and attempts to avoid eye contact with him. Her voice spitting out of her gritted teeth. “I’m not... that bad.. What i’ve done is only beca-” she is once again interrupted, the liepard’s exploding laughter echoes throughout the cliff side. Jody’s eye flicker towards the upwards branches, no longer seeing any sight of the man. Her body hunches over slightly, almost in shame. She wasn’t that bad. She wasn’t... Suddenly she feels her body jerk towards the fence by the cliff, the liepard appearing at her side, dragging her to the edge. He grabs the back of her head and forces her to lean forward. “Let’s create a scenario shall we?” He forces her to face the town not far below. From the cliff side one could easily see down into the towns plaza below. Jody’s eyes focused on her party; Diane, Ulbrecht, Nana, Solo, Oxide and Rexmile are all placed under the plaza’s gazebo. Solo and Rexmile began to chase one another around the table, playing some sort of tag, or Rexmile had a weird bug that he was trying to place on his brother. Diane is happily eating and laughing at the scene with the brothers, Oxide smiling and laughing along with her. Ulbrecht and Nana appear to be attempting to have a conversation among the boys hectic activities, Ulbrecht even attempts to trip Solo at some point but fails. Jody smiles a bit internally at the sight but is cut short when the Liepard continues to speak. “Let’s see. You seem to be having a... active social life as of late correct?” his grin is crooked with raised brows “Not that I am judging... In fact I applaud you for not sticking to the ‘The Cursed must be a Virgin Pure’ bullshit. That gets so annoying after each incarnation. But anyways. Let’s say... That you were to get knocked up by one of those boys that fawn over you.”  Jody attempts to jerk away from his grip and growls in a low tone. “I can’t get pregnant from either of them. Solo is shiny so it’s rare and Ulbrecht is fixed-” once again the tail is slapped over her mouth, this time wrapping around her head tightly. “yeah yeah whatever Doll. This is a scenario, which could happen. Shiny pokemon, although rare, can still get others pregnant. Vasectomies can also reverse over time by accident in some cases. But allow me to finish” His ears flick back and forth in a metronome type fashion, claws slowly digging into the back of Jody’s head. “Lets say that you WERE to bear one of those.... fellows... abomination of a child, while on your quest. You raise this child, its yours. You come to love it and the child adores you. You are it’s mother and it’s all it has. But then one day... your little Book.... suddenly demands your next mission.... is the spirit of your dead child.” Jody’s pupils shrink and her blood chills and almost turns to ice, her attempts to get out of his grip suddenly come to a stop. “What would you do Jolene? Would you kill the kid? Your own flesh and blood, the child who trusts you. ADORES YOU. A kid you have come to LOVE. Would you kill it just for the sake of fueling your revenge further, to get closer to your goal? What would you do?”
The liepards grip on Jody loosens. Hand dropping from the back of her head and tail slowly unwinding from her body. He steps back slowly and gazes at her in silence, awaiting her answer. The scrafty’s body remains stiff, her position slowly relaxes from leaning over the fences edge, but her bones feel almost locked into place. Her gaze fixed down below, no longer looking at anything or anyone anymore, her pupils dart back and forth almost as if they were lost. Her apathetic expression slowly twitching into a hollow face, void of feeling. Claws gripping into the wood fence slowly, her voice barely escapes her own mouth. “That isn’t a fair scenario-” The Liepards voice cuts through her shaky answer instantly. “Answer my question Jolene.” Slowly slinking behind her, he slides his hands up her back and onto her shoulders, leaning in and whispering into her ear again. “Would you kill your own child just to get further towards the end of your quest?” Jody’s body remains motionless as his voice continues to hiss quietly. “Would you slit your own kids throat? Would you let them know beforehand? Would you drown them? Smother them with a pillow? Would you poison your own child? Would you-” Suddenly snapping, her body jerks and successfully gets out of his gentle grip and turns around, slamming her snout against his. “STOP. SAYING. THAT. KIND. OF. STUFF. RYAN.” Ryan’s smile returns and busts out laughing once more, her losing her temper was always a sight to see. Perhaps she would try to kill him right then and there! But her position remained fixed in a defensive stance, face twitching with pure rage. “Oh Jolene, look at you being so explosive and full of energy! As amusing as that is..... you still haven’t answered my question.” A flash of fear flickers through Jody’s eyes, she stands up straight and turns around to face the cliff side once more.  Ryan appears on the fence next to her, facing down to gaze at the plaza below. “Your silence is more truthful than you have ever been Jolene.” Jody flinches at his words, she wanted to scream. She wanted to hit him down to the ground, punching his face while screaming how wrong he was. But she couldn’t. She couldn’t move, she couldn’t let those words leave her mouth. The only thing managing to allow her gaze to unlock from the plaza below was Ryan’s voice slicing through her thoughts once more. “What if you had to kill Diane for the sake of your book Jolene. Would you do it.” She whips her head towards him, expression full of horror and disbelief at what he had just said. Her mouth opens slightly to speak, but nothing escapes, not even air.  Ryan’s gaze flickers from the lizard next to him to the mountains beyond the city. His tone less antagonizing now, but colder than ice. “But then again, you’ve already done that to someone you loved. Haven’t you.” Jodys gaze sinks to her own feet, unable to make a single sound. Arms beginning to tremble and back slowly arching over, making her hunch over in shame. “You’ve done it once Jolene. You’ll do it again and again. As much as you need to. That fact, is what makes you a horrible person. The fact that you are willing to kill anyone, anything, JUST to fuel this revenge quest of yours, THAT defines who you are as a person. That is who you are.” Ryan’s words stabbed into Jody, she felt like barbed wire was being pulled under her skin. She wanted him to stop. Stop saying that. “Does a person like that, really DESERVE a happy ending” stop it stop talking “Someone like you is beyond redemption. Doesn’t matter who you meet, how many people you make happy... You’re a horrible person Jolene. Always have been.. Even when you were a child.” stop iT... “Come to think of it, you’ve been like this forever. Even before the book. It simply gave you a excuse.” Jody whips around and grasps the liepards collar, tugging him down and slamming him to the ground. She was going to make him shut up. He was spewing such lies. Shut UP. “I HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS. THE BOOK DID THIS TO ME. FOR GOD’S SAKE I DON’T EVEN HAVE A SHADOW. I DON’T HAVE BLOOD ANYMORE, MY PULSE IS FAKE. MY EYES ARE LIFELESS AND I FEEL NOTHING. DON’T YOU DARE STAND THERE AND TELL ME THAT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS. THE BOOK DID THIS TO ME. THAT FUCKING WITCH DID THIS TO ME. I COULD HAVE BEEN NORMAL AND NICE. BUT I HAVE TO DO WHAT I DO. I DO WHAT I NEED TO” her voice cracks and echoes throughout the cliff side, her voice weak and breathing heavy made her chest in pain. Her gritted teeth began to grind in her mouth as she stared down at the man. Please just stay quiet... please. Ryan snaps up suddenly, causing her to trip backwards and fall onto her back. The liepard crawls over the top of her, pinning her body town with his tail, his voice sharp as a knife. “But does that REALLY excuse all that you’ve done. Is that what your doing? Using it as a Get Out Of Jail Free Card huh? You are so idiotic girl! You are so convinced in your own head that you HAVE to do this, that if you don’t it’s wrong! YOU COULD HAVE DONE NOTHING. You could have done nothing and let the curse simply take you and then die! HELL! You could have even just been peaceful! Simply completing the books pages in a pacifist manner and not killing at all! You could have done this peacefully IT IS in fact possible! It’s been done before! BUT NO. YOU CHOSE THIS." Jody couldn’t fight back, she couldn’t move as her body stiffened once more. Helpless under the priest above her. “YOU chose to follow the book 100%! There are ways around it you know! You could have done the bare minimum and although it wouldn’t progress the quest for that witch further, you could have survived! You could have avoided hurting others! You could have avoided killing! HELL DID YOU EVEN READ THAT EXCERPT ON A “MOTHER’S SORROWFUL SPIRIT” OR DID YOU JUST GUILT TRIP HER INTO CHUGGING THE POISON WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT! OH WAIT WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER DON’T WE JOLENE.” His voice was loud and ear shattering, there was no rage behind his words oddly enough. His crooked smile only grew as he shouted at the woman pinned below him. He knew she wasn’t going to fight back. Pathetic really. “I admire you Jolene, I really do. The past Book Holders were all such babies... They either gave in and killed themselves to avoid their fate, just to let the next family member deal with it. They were failures who died their first try, or simply just pacifists who did the bare minimum and still lived their lives peacefully an with family. No rage or ill will driving them forward. But you Jolene, you are different. You were BORN for this curse, you are the perfect one for it. Apathetic and strong. You are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill it. Your rage drives you but doesn’t mess with you mentally! You don’t let it get to you, you simply accept it! Your heart is so hollow, its soft for that... “family”... of yours but in the end you would cash them all in instantly just to take another step forward! That’s what is so beautiful about you Jolene! You go forward, no steps back allowed! If there has been anyone close enough to actually completing this fucking quest its always been YOU! Your apathy, your drive for the revenge is what makes you who you are! ITS WHO YOU ARE JOLENE!”  The liepard releases her wrists from his grip and sits up, arms raised towards the sky, laughing in triumph. “The entire world is NOTHING to you! Nothing matters but what you WANT! You want-no dare I say NEED that revenge! You are a hollow shell of a person but god you wear it with such STYLE Jolene! That’s why I've always been tracking you, keeping interest and adding in some spice! You always manage to surprise me with how far you go! You never let it GET to you! Yeah sometimes you drink and get a bit sappy but HEY who doesn’t! Even so it’s not so much about this petty curse!” Jody stares at him in shock as he shouts at the sky, he was fucking insane.
“Jolene to you there are NO limits! Hell! Most of the time I find myself ROOTING for you! I want to see how far you will go, how high you will reach, how much you will slaughter and hurt! You have such craftsmanship and you don’t even realize! So many can only DREAM of being as cold as yourself Jolene, but that’s just who you are!” Ryan stands up with his arms still raised to the sky in praise as he snaps his head down to stare at her with that damned grin. “God HIMSELF would quake in your presence Jolene! For he hath not no idea what he himself has created!” His laughter fills the air as he covers his face with a smile, stepping off of her body and leaning against a tree with glee. Jody sits up slowly, what point was he trying to make again... How did this conversation end up like this... How did she let this... batshit crazy feline make her feel this way. Ryan’s gleeful laughter continues for a minute more before his smile slowly fades and he lets out a heavy sigh. “But Jolene... even the greatest have their faults... Yours just happens to be your delusion about all this. Oh Jolene you could be so much greater than this, but you have your plan and will stick to it. I can admire that. But if you honestly think... that things will get better... that things will be fine... You truly are a idiot.” placing his hands in his pockets he slowly turns back towards her with a cold expression. Tail swishing back and forth as he slowly begins to walk towards her. She struggles to stand back up and gets in a defensive position, unknowing of what he’s going to do next. “You are either going to die trying to complete this quest or complete it and then kill yourself afterwards. The void that will be left in your hollow chest will be too great. This curse is all you’ve had Jolene, its the one thing that has never left and never truly will leave you. Even if you defeat the great witch, the weight of what you have done will weigh on you just as the curse once did. Once you die, you aren’t going anywhere, Not heaven, not hell not even a ghost. You will be lost in the stars just like everyone before you. You will be forgotten. But that’s how it is Jolene. You don’t DESERVE a happy ending, curse or not.” The feline approaches her and lifts her chin up with a single finger, forcing her to make eye contact with him. “This curse... that book... Is all you have Jolene. It’s all you’ll ever have. It’s WHO you are Jolene. Once a diary is completed, no more pages can be properly added without over stuffing it. You live by the book, you’ll die by the book. You are nothing without it. Once you have completed it, you will complete. Then you can die, its the closest thing you will ever receive to rest.” Jody jerks her head away, staring at the dirt below her with a apathetic expression. Her body felt numb and lifeless, she hadn’t felt this way in years. Her silence causes Ryan to snort and flash a grin. “The sooner you accept that, the better Doll. It’s who you are, all you’ll ever be. It’s all you have anymore.” The liepard chuckles once more before walking away, grabbing his own tail and twirling it as he strolls down the pathway away from her. His peaceful whistling slowly fading away as he strolls off. The breeze gently blowing through the fur on her coat, the only sound heard being the rustling of the leaves. Jody stares at her feet, no thoughts going through her head for once. She had no response, no denial, no coming up with a different plan to prove him wrong. Nothing. absolutely nothing. No rage filled defiance... No sarcastic response to what he had said.... pure nothingness. She slowly falls to her knees as her chest slowly began to feel heavy. Her body begins to shake slowly and her breathing quickens, making the heavy feeling in her chest only worsen. A dull pain began to form in her head, her hands shakily began to reach towards her face, vision beginning to blur. The cliff side remained silent, only the sound of the breeze and the leaves rustling could be heard. Slowly hunching over and touching her head to the ground, curled up in shame and body shaking uncontrollably. Her breathing quickened and the heaviness in her chest grew into a severe pain as her wheezing breaths caused her abdomen to jerk with each quick breath and for the first time since she was a child she let the tears out silently. She was alone
as it should be.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.
Tumblr media
Forgive me.
Priest!AU
Rated: M
contains: daddy kink, graphic sex, religious concepts, cursing
Description: you’ve never had an impure thought in your life until you met your new pastor. Now you need to confess your sins, because you’ve been wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Forgive me father, for I have sinned.”
-
You were the daughter of the head pastor of your church, and you had lived your entire life in the church. Every Sunday you went for morning service, and every Wednesday for night service. Tuesday’s and Thursdays were bible study nights, so you were basically in church almost everyday, and you loved it. 
You were so devoted to your lord and savior Jesus Christ in every way. You knew every verse of the Bible like the back of your hand, you volunteered at church regularly, never missed a service, and prayed for forgiveness regularly. 
You had never committed a bad sin, no of course not. No drinking (Romans 14:21), no tattoos (Leviticus 19:28) no revealing clothing (Timothy 2:9) and absolutely no premarital sex (Hebrews 13:4). You had never even kissed a boy. You were basically the poster child for the church in that you were perfect in every way.
Until he showed up.
It was an early Sunday morning, and you were getting ready for church as usual, wearing a nice blue Sunday dress. When you walked out to greet your parents, you realized your father was wearing casual church clothes, and not his pastor uniform.
“Dad, what’s this?” You asked, confused as you and your parents walked out to the car.
“We just accepted a new pastor from a couple towns over. He’s very well known in his area for being an amazing pastor, and today is his first service at our church. We’re very honored to have him here so be excited.”  
“Oh... okay. Sounds nice.” 
-
You arrived at church at 7:45 am sharp, and your parents went off to greet all of their church friends before service started. You were a little tired, so you decided to go grab a coffee from the free breakfast stand. Once you got there, most of the breakfast had been eaten already, save for a couple stale looking biscuits and a bagel. 
‘I’ll just have coffee..’ 
You walked to the coffee maker and put in your desired creamer, then pressed the start button. It wasn’t amazing coffee or anything, but hey it would get you through the day. 
‘Oh! My sugar!’ Before grabbing your brewed coffee from the machine, you realized you forgot your sugar, so you turned around to look for some and-
You walked straight into somebody. 
“Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry I wasn’t paying attention-“ You were standing right in front of this persons chest—which felt very nice... oh gosh, don’t think that—so you took a couple nervous steps back.
Once you were away from the person, you realized who it was.
He was a man, with a small frame, only a few inches taller than you, covered head to toe in black, with a while collar. 
You knew every pastor here, so this had to be the new pastor. 
His face was stern, but not mean looking. His eyebrows looked naturally arched to look judging, but his large doe eyes contrasted harshly. He had short black hair that looked like it was growing out from a buzz cut.
‘He’s... so hot.’
You shook your head, shocked at yourself for thinking such a thing. 
“It’s no worries. Im Do Kyungsoo, the new pastor here.” He held out his hand politely, which you took with a shaking hand. Despite his small frame, his hands were quite a bit bigger than yours, and felt very strong...
‘I’d like to see that hand gripping my thigh as I-‘ 
You laughed awkwardly.
“I’m (Y/N). The daughter of Pastor (L/N). It’s a pleasure to meet you.” You said, putting on the happy church voice and smile you’d been using your whole life, but it suddenly felt so fake.
“Oh is that so? I’ve heard a lot about you from him. Well the pleasure is all mine.” He smiled a little, his lips turned into a heart shaped smile. 
“Oh.. that’s great.” You were avoiding eye contact with him now, scared more intrusive thoughts would plague your mind. 
“Well I should get going, I have to find my dad. And you have a service to do. Good luck Kyungsoo.” 
“Father Kyungsoo, if you’d please.” He corrected you politely, and you felt stupid for talking to him so casually.
“Of course.. sorry.. Father Kyungsoo..” 
‘I wish I was calling him daddy instead..’
At this sinful thought, you ran away from him, completely ditching the coffee you had made for yourself and sought off to find your parents. 
By the time you found them in the pews—they were in the front row of course—the service was starting. 
One of the older Pastors that you were used to took the stand first, leading you all in your first prayer.
“Now ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce our very special guest. Our new pastor, Father Kyungsoo will be leading our service today.”
You hadn’t really been paying attention today, considering your mind was all over the place, but hearing his name made a pit in your stomach. 
He was right there in front of you.
‘Oh no... no no no...’ 
“Good Morning everyone. I’m so glad to be here with you all on this blessed day. Thank you all for accepting me into your lovely church, it truly is an honor. Today we will be discussing a chapter in Corinthians which....” 
Whatever was coming out of the young pastors mouth was no longer important, because you were staring at what was inside it..
His tongue.
‘So pink and nice... wouldn’t it feel good inside me?’
You crossed your legs in your dress, feeling something weird between them... you had never felt anything like this before.
Kyungsoo lifted his hands to explain something, and you noticed he had a rosary laced between his long fingers. 
‘What if that was my hair between his fingers, as he pulls its while he fucks me?’
The tingling sensation between your thighs grew more, and you could feel your heartbeat intensifying.
The more he went on with his service, the more dirty thoughts you had, and the more you felt like an impure sinner.
“... Thank you, that will be all for today. Have a blessed rest of your day. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.” He closed his beautiful eyes for a moment as everyone said amen with him and stepped down from the podium.
Finally. 
You needed to seek forgiveness for having these terrible sinful thoughts, so your next stop was to immediately go to confessionals. You had went to confessionals many times, but never for anything like this... But you absolutely needed to get this off of your chest, and you knew the pastor who always did confessionals would let you know that God would be proud of you for confessing to your sins, and that he still loves you. That’s what you really needed to hear in this moment. 
Seeing you in such a hurry, your father grabbed your shoulder.
“Where are you going, Y/N?”
“To confessionals, Father.”
“For what?”
You felt your cheeks heat up.
“Why that’s between me and god, Father.” And with that, you ran off to the confessionals hall. There was nobody there today, so it was very quiet and dimly lit. Perfect for you, because you didn’t want anyone else to accidentally hear this. 
Cautiously, you entered the tiny room and locked it behind you. It was very cramped, and had only a chair in it. You sat down, and leaned against the wall that led to the other side of the room where the pastor sat.
The priest opened the tiny window that signified that he was ready, but it was always dark on both sides so you cant see each other. You kneeled before the window, did a Hail Mary and closed your eyes.
“Forgive me, Father for I have sinned. It is one month since my last confession. I accuse myself of the following sins.”
You took a deep breathe and felt your heart beating loudly in your ears.
“I have been thinking extremely impure thoughts about our new pastor, Father Kyungsoo. I have never felt anything like this before, or ever even thought of these kinds of sinful acts... I thought about him.. in a sexual way, Father. It was so vile of me.”
It seemed as if the pastor on the other side had gotten closer to the wall connecting you two.
“I thought about him.. having sex with me. Roughly. I thought about how he would sound... his hands on my breasts.. my legs on his shoulders while he has sex with me. Oh Father, I feel so terrible. I wish god would forgive me for these terrible thoughts..” You clasped your hands in prayer, waiting for your pastor to tell you it would all be okay.
There was a long silence.
“For your sins, I recommend you pray the sinner’s prayer, read over the chapter Hebrews, and...” 
The wall between you could actually unlock and open as door so the pastors could pass freely through the confessional rooms.
The door opened inwards, and you slowly opened your eyes to see why on earth they would be opening the door.
“Oh sh-“
You jaw dropped wide open as the figure before you became apparent. 
Pastor Kyungsoo was standing right in front of you, face as solemn as usual.
You immediately got up from your kneeling position, and straightened your dress, head bowed in shame.
“Father Kyungsoo! I-I’m... I’m so sorry. I had no idea it was you.. oh gosh this is so embarrassing.” You couldn’t even look at him, your eyes fixated on the hardwood floor.
“Matthew 11:28.” He said, voice flat.
“Matthew 11:28...?” You repeated, trying to remember what that verse meant. You had to think hard back into your hundreds of bible studies. It wasn’t a verse about forgiveness, in fact, it wasn’t even really a verse. It was just a phrase. It took a little digging but you finally remembered what it was.
“Come unto me?” You said aloud, finally looking at him. His eyes which were big and neutral earlier were now narrowed and hooded with lust. 
“Lord forgive me for this.” He muttered to himself, doing a Hail Mary before approaching you, the scent of his cologne wafting into your nose. You could feel the tingly feeling coming back, and you rubbed your thighs together.
“Do you want this?” Kyungsoo asked, his hand hovering below the hem of your dress.
“Were you listening to me at all? Of course I want it.” And with that you wrapped your arms around his neck, engaging in this most sinful act you could have thought of. Your lips met his and he immediately molded to yours, his big lips soft and sweet tasting. Within moments his tongue you had wanted so badly swiped over your bottom lip, asking for entrance as his hands played with the zipper on the back of your dress. He was able to pull the zipper down, and your ‘good girl’ dress fell to the floor with all of your morals. You didn’t care about being a woman of god anymore, you just wanted this man to fuck you. Eagerly you pulled your panties off as well.
“God made you so perfect, didn’t he?” Kyungsoo whispered as he pulled away, kissing your neck. You tilted your head back as he kissed all the way down your neck to your breasts, sucking softly on the tender skin, causing your nipples to harden. 
“Father Kyungsoo-“ you started to say, but he took a finger and placed it on your mouth, shushing you.
“No no no... that’s for church.. Call me daddy instead.”
With those words, you found yourself a waterfall, your panties becoming soaked. You could feel yourself throbbing with anticipation for him to just take you already.  
“Okay daddy” You cooed to him, and you could see him tense up at being called that, his face twisted with arousal.
He grabbed the inside of his collar, pulling his white clerical collar out and tossing it aside, his black Cossack falling off quickly. 
“Doesn’t your outfit symbolize celibacy?” You asked through breathy moans, his face buried in your cleavage. As he played with your breasts, he reached into the wallet he kept in his waistcoat and pulled out a condom, rolling it onto his large member quickly. 
“I’m a man of god, not a prisoner.” He groaned as he grabbed you by the bottom of your thighs, his fingers sinking into the fat of your thighs as he hoisted you up onto the wall. Your legs wrapped around his waist as you collided mouths with him again, swirling your tongue around in the priests mouth. 
“You’ve been so bad... beg for it..” Kyungsoo mumbled, aligning his member with your entrance, and sliding his length against your folds to tease you.
“Please daddy... I’ve been so bad.. I want you now.” You begged him, just wanted him to fill you up already.
“That’s my girl.” He said as he finally slid his length into you, only getting a little past the head because you were so tight. Obviously you were a virgin, so the sheer size of his dick was causing you to stretch out. Luckily, with his tongue working on your chest, you were wet enough to allow him to slide in.
“C’mon baby...” he mumbled, taking one hand to reach down to your core. He took two digits and sunk them down with his dick until he found your clit, engorged with arousal for him. He rubbed it in rough circles, trying to get you more wet for him. You moaned loudly, feeling yourself dripping around his member. With that, he pushed himself further into you, unable to get his full length in, but he was already feeling overwhelmed with the orgasmic feeling of your tight walls squeezing him. 
“Daddy it hurts..” you moaned, biting your bottom lip. 
“I’ll be gentle..” he said to you, pulling his dick out very slowly, and thrusting back in, while holding onto your thighs for leverage. With ease he began stretching you out so he could fit his whole member in, and started thrusting stronger and faster. Luckily for you, you had become so wet for him that the pain was subsiding, and you were starting to understand why people sinned. Sex felt amazing. 
With your approval, he began pounding you hard, his entire length coming in and out of you while he kissed up and down the length of your neck. You ran your hands through his short black hair, tugging harshly at the small locks, causing him to moan into the soft flesh of your neck. Feeling his hot breathe against your cold skin sent a shiver through you, adding to the pleasure being surged through your core with every thrust. 
“Daddy... I’m gonna..” your legs felt weak from tightly holding around his waist, and started shaking due to the pleasure in your body. You had never felt this before, it was the best feeling you had ever experienced, like a natural high passing throughout you, starting right at your core. 
“Oh god!” You exclaimed, using the Lord’s name in vain as you threw your head back against the confessional wall, hitting your first climax hard. Your already tight walls tightened even harder around Kyungsoo, causing him to groan loudly into your ear as your relaxed. He held onto you as your body went limp, thrusting softly into you as you rode at your orgasm. It didn’t take long for him to finish right after you, and he gently set you down on the confessionals chair as he cleaned both of you up. 
Within seconds he had put his priest outfit back on, clasping his collar proudly.
“Will I be seeing you back in confessionals soon?”
“Of course.” You panted, smiling at him.
“I did something bad I have to confess.”

The time has come to bid you all farewell.
Tumblr media
For those who can't be arsed to read a long-winded explanation, I will be deactivating my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts on New Year's Eve.
I am letting you know, so you don't think I committed the cardinal sin and unholiest of all unholies by "de-friending" you. I may be back online at some point, but probably not for a while. I believe my connections will still be intact if I do decide to return; if sense prevails and these platforms are finally subjected to proper policing for the spread of lies and ever-more obscene ways to serve quinoa and avocado in a bowl fashioned out of frozen puppy puke.
I have also decided to make it a top priority to quit the UK in 2020. So, I bid you adieu here and now, in case our connections were solely on social media. It's been a blast!
The longer version:
No, it hasn't!
Over the last decade, it has become apparent that social media has been the leading cause of human decay, planetary annihilation and the spread of a pathogen more destructive than the most apocalyptic virus know to man: stupidity, spread through misinformation and vanity. If you think this is an extreme, over-exaggeration of where we are today, please try harder and look again.
Bullshit spread about immigrants, sexualities not openly accepted in a book about a bearded dude in a dress (who insisted on going by his über-hetero drag name of "The Fisher of Men" and has been the poster-pup of plenty-o-paedo priests over the centuries), climate change and the dim-witted cry of "sovrinteeeee" has been swallowed willingly by the idiocracy. A bitter pill that will serve as a cyanide tablet for those that have been so willing to lap it up.
The world has lurched so far to the right through populism and bitter resentment of difference, that staying on these platforms would be hypocritical, as I denounce their existence.
The UK, soon to be remembered as the Kingdom formerly known as United, has sunk so low in a mire of blind, extreme conservativism, hatred and racism that it has, in an extraordinarily short time, become unrecognisable. The decision to leave our home has not been taken lightly, and I have been fighting as valiantly as possible to slap those of a more-persuadable disposition to realise how our country was being attacked by the wealthy, corrupt zealots we see in power today: grotesquely vile puppet-masters and their extraordinarily cretinous, backward, self-serving puppets.
I'm reasonably certain the referendum and subsequent elections were stolen from the sane, using vast swathes of illegality; so, don't let all the blame fall at the feet of those unwilling to believe such politics could play out; with their staunch, once-centrist political leanings. But they have, and I trust the pain of realisation in the coming years will serve as a lesson to pass on to their children (the lesson all those history classes should have taught them, back when what brand of anti-acne wash to use before their first snog was the largest of their troubles).
I am saying goodbye, because I have made a concerted effort to utilise the better aspects of social media; to inform, create, entertain or just vent my spleen. I have cemented some firm eFriendships along the way and used it to good effect, in order to remember people's names after meeting them at the pub. Next time you see me scribbling something unintelligible on the back of my hand with an old fashioned thing we used to call a pen, you'll know why.
The harder aspect of relocating will, besides finding a job to enable this expatriation, of course, be the distance to the elder younglings. But, with the reactions of "wha'evah", "cool...foreign holidays!" and "once I'm done at uni, I'm joining you and leaving this Nazi shithole!" have helped somewhat. Their reaction to me leaving Facebook was an impertinent, but expected, united sigh of relief, to say the least. I don't expect any move to be in the next six months, but hope it will be within twelve; as I can't handle another year of Katie Hopkins threatening to suck-off Nigel's Fromage if he plays a game of soggy biscuit with Jacob Greased-Hog and Piers Organ over a blue passport.
So, without further ado, I tip the cap that I uselessly use to cover my balding pate, try to do a click of the heels, fuck it up and fall arse-over-tit and embrace you all in a weird and clumsy virtual way, as I set the timer for the deactivation to T-minus 31st December 2019.
It actually has been a blast, and I love you all.
❤️
P.S. Of course, some of you may have witnessed my failed attempts at quitting many things before, so who knows how this extraordinarily over-dramatic departure will play out...

Moscow diaries- To complicated yet simpler times
"Y'all are half-class", the black man walking down the street across fountain park yelled at us. The twelve year old me was confused and didn't know what he meant by that. Sensing the confusion of three young girls, he tried to explain- "we're full class"- he said pointing at his and his friend's face and then added- "you are half class". Then he started laughing and walked off. As he left we understood that he was referring to the color of our skin and according to him brown people were the so-called "half-class". As if there was something wrong with that. This was one of the earliest forms of racism that I experienced. And it came from a black man who tried to undermine three twelve year olds. I didn't really give much thought to this and we kept walking to the 24 hours store to buy snacks and candy. 
Life in Moscow was very interesting. My sister and I had a lot of freedom as twelve and thirteen year olds in a completely new country. We did all kinds of things. We made friends with random strangers in our society without any age restriction. I remember we'd randomly go around cruising different buildings in the compound. One time we discovered a church inside an apartment which was run by black people (mostly men) and a lot of them lived there. We used to go there many times to play with the fish in the little aquarium they had and talk to the people there. It was here that I properly heard the story of the birth of Christ from the priest for the first time. We'd go there again and again to hear the story and the part about Mary getting pregnant without having sex really fascinated us. We'd pop up in the church whenever we liked and start making friends with anyone who was there. Then there were the identical American twins Lauren and Airen (i think). Lauren was the first person who showed me the American cent (or dime, don't remember which one). Then there was another American who lived right above our apartment whose name was also Lauren. They were all  so sweet and nice. Making friends and trusting people was so easy as a twelve year old. I had no inhibitions or trust issues. I simply enjoyed becoming friends with people from different backgrounds. There was Daria who was from Turkey and her little daughter who'd play at the sand box and that's where we became friends with her. We'd go to her house whenever we wanted to and didn't really understand social norms or how we weren't supposed to just randomly show up at someone's doorstep at any point. But then these were simpler times. I remember one time we went to her flat and she wasn't there and her husband opened the door and gave biscuits to us. We just went inside and he had a home office. I remember seeing a phone the looked exactly like a calculator and getting really fascinated by it.
Moscow was also my rebellious phase. It was in those teen years where my dad was too busy with office and my mom had my little brother to worry about. We (my sister and I) didn't really get much attention from them and they left us independent which made us have so many great and exciting experiences and I'm really thankful for that. My friend Rambha and I got into a little habit of shoplifting from the small gift shop outside our building. Sometimes Vaishali and my sister would be our accomplices. This shop was run by three middle aged women (who could've been sisters) and we'd go to the shop often after school and buy ribbons from there. We's also buy nice little paper clips with green frogs and yellow flowers on them. I really don't remember how or when the shoplifting started but it went on for quite a while. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was the thrill of doing something dangerous or maybe it was about feeling powerful. There was a wind chime attached to the door of the shop and it would ring every time we opened the door. Usually the women stayed inside and not in the actual shop area and would come out upon hearing the wind chime. We'd see the lights turned off in the shop and open the door carefully and while one of us held the wind chime so it wouldn't chime, the rest of us would go inside and pick up random gifts, from shell shaped candle packs to weird ostrich shaped showpieces and red and purple colored diaries. One time we ended up dropping a glass vase and that scared the shit out of us and we ran inside the building and almost got caught when one of the women from the shop came inside the building and started yelling at us in russian. That really scared us but we still continued. Did our moral conscience trouble us? I don't think so. We didn't think it was that big of a deal then. The line of what was right and what was wrong was pretty blurred at this point. What did we do with all the gifts? I gave them away to all my teachers on teachers day and got rid of the lot of them and didn't steal after that. I used to keep all of the stolen items in this little drawer of mine and my parents had no idea and to this day they don't. We were caught one time. This was in a supermarket called Perekrestok in Europeski mall which was near where we stayed. My mom and her friends were stopping there to do some shopping and they'd brought their kids along as well because we'd all gone out to victory park earlier that day. Rambha and I were opening kinder joys and stealing the little toys inside and then hiding the opened eggs at random places like a pile of towels or behind cake mix boxes. Trying to be all cool we told this older girl whose name was Leena who was my mom's friend's daughter about the stealing. Then we started showing her how we were stealing. We got a rush out of it. But then we were caught and our moms were very embarrassed as the store workers fished out cracked chocolate eggs from random places and made us pay for them. My mom yelled at me but we didn't really have an actual conversation about it. I think this was a wake up call for me and I didn't dare steal anything after this. 
Then there were the little home movies we used to make as kids. At one point my friends and I started shooting this horror movie and we'd get cameras and decide the story and do multiple takes and all. I think I still have the footage lying around somewhere on CDs. We never ended up finishing the movie though. I was the protagonist of this movie and the story was about me going to some place which was haunted (or something along these lines of just another cliched horror story). We'd shoot all over the huge building compound and sometimes do multiple takes because we couldn't stop ourselves from cracking up at the acting and trying to make it look all scary. We were filled with innocence and creativity and little things excited us. 
We never got bored and always had things to make us feel happy. It was before social media and technology, when we'd actually go out and play, be it hanging upside down from the monkey bars or swinging high above on the swings and jumping mid air. We'd sit inside this small play house kind of a thing in the park and read little scribbles and proclamations of love written all over the house and discuss about them. We'd go to the 24 hours store and buy chips or chocolates or ice cream whenever we felt like it (without our parents knowing). We'd fish out office supplies like diaries and stationery thrown into the dumpster and use them later. We'd befriend Americans, Australians and Sudanese people without any hesitation and play hide n seek with them. We'd try to guess the little code outside the building doors which were needed to get into them and look for clues in scribbles around the keypad that people had written or call random people's apartments so we could get inside to warm ourselves from the heavy snow and the cold wind outside. We'd play in heavy blankets of snow and make snow angels and attempt at making snow men. We'd talk to the guards and try to speak the little russian that we knew from studying it in our school and fool around with them by modifying profane words and passing them as our names just to see them blush (like Sexala- what were we thinking?). Sometimes we'd walk to the McDonald's and get burgers. I remember being really fascinated by the small gadget that the employees used to take the orders of people standing in line to serve customers faster when there was a lot of rush. I remember learning how to skate around the entire compound and the fact that all of us had the same blue skates which our parents had all gotten from the same place on sale. We'd go around exploring the tunnels in our society and act like it's an expedition.  We'd occasionally go to this burnt down house with broken windows which we'd concluded was haunted and try to get in. We'd randomly go out and explore different places. Life was much simpler then and we still had some innocence in us and weren't exposed completely to the reality of the world and the evil in it. We didn't think of the political scenario of the country and all the racism there. We didn't worry about skinheads and didn't pay attention to all the stories of middle-eastern and non whites being beaten up by white supremacist, Nazi skinheads. All we wanted to do was play and have a good time and we did exactly that without caring about anything or anyone. They were much simpler times.

Mr. Tsubaki: " 'Stalking'? That's such an ugly word.

Mr. Tsubaki: *already in front of them, standing...still bleeding* "Sure about that?" tsubaki: !!! *changing into her blade form* Black Star: *takes Tsubaki* "Bad move, dude!" *runs at Mr. Tsubaki to stab him--* *CRUNCH* Black Star: "..." *Mr. Tsubaki is holding Black Star by his ribs...and squeezes* tsubaki: ?!?!

Black Star: *struggling to breathe* "H-He..." sayaka: easy there..... *still using her healing magic* Black Star: "Ts-Tsu--" tsubaki: just take it easy....*worried*....*hugs him softly* you're going to be ok.... sayaka: it was pretty weird....you two just appeared out of nowhere.... Black Star: *grimacing* "Ow...What...?" *looks in horror, as he sees a note...safety-pinned into his arm* madoka: ?? *she takes a look* Note: "Something to remember what I am capable of--and what will happen should you refuse me. You are mine, and if you refuse, he will die. Hugs and kisses xoxo" madoka: e-eh? tsubaki:....*she calmly rips it apart* -there is a second note- -note: we apologize for you getting involved in this unfortunate situation. if you have questions, please visit the Alisuin mansion. <3<3 'Snow Lilly' O3<- -the note's handwriting is....very stylish, but fortunately still legible- Patty: "TSUBAKI!

Patty: *hugs Tsubaki* "I was so worried! What happened?!" tsubaki:...i dont know... Patty: "??? Whatever it was, it looks pretty bad..." -a few days later- Black Star: *inhaling deeply* tsubaki: feeling better? Black Star: "A bit, yeah..." *blushing a little* "You?" tsubaki: alright.....i had a new security system installed...*still thinking about the other letter* (thinking: alisuin mansion...?) Black Star: "We wouldn't need a new security system if I..." *looks down* "Damn." tsubaki:......*she hands him the note from 'snow lilly'* Black Star: "??? 'Alisuin Mansion'? Where's that?" tsubaki: hmm... -and so- sayaka: it should be around here... madoka: .... tsubaki: thank you for walking me here... sayaka: i wanted to see if the ghost rumors are true. Black Star: *looking around the neighborhood* ("I couldn't even help last time...Damn.") sayaka: there it is! WOAH! it's huge! Black Star: "Huh?" *looks at the mansion* "Wow..." madoka: well, this is the wealthier side of town... i wonder if mami's grandparents live in a place like this... sayaka: how do we get i-....huh? -there is a rabbit sign with an arrow pointing to an open gate that says 'follow the rabbits'- tsubaki: 'follow the rabbits?' madoka: just like alice in wonderland.... -the gate is open- Black Star: "Guess we're going in..." *marches forward* ("Not letting this happen again...") -and so they followed the path until they reached a door- Black Star: *looking at the door, including its knocker...and a doorbell next to it* madoka:.... *rings the door bell* ???:...... its open. tsubaki:....*she opens the door to a foyer* sayaka: *walks off with madoka* we're gonna look around! madoka: s-sayaka! you cant just go snooping around!

Snow Lily: "Oh, these are them? Hmm...Cute outfit, Miss--" misono: ..... !!!!! tsubaki: its tsubaki...not to be confused with the man who's been harassing me. misono: *blushing and pointing to madoka* W-WHA-WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?!?! Snow Lily: (studies Tsubaki) "Oh! You're that girl! Hmmm...Yes, I can see why he was interested in you." madoka: eh? well....sayaka though there were ghosts here and wanted to explore...

Snow Lily: "Awww...I was hoping to play. After all, I thought Miss Tsubaki wanted to know something..." tsubaki: yes. about that man...who is he, and what does he want with me? misono:...very well....follow me.... sayaka: ok! misono: not you! sayaka: b-but- Black Star: "Hey, take it easy, Sayaka." *glares at Misono* "I'm not letting Tsubaki walk in alone." misono:....*sigh* fine. but dont make a mess of things... sayaka: scouts honor! misono:.... Mary, Julie, take kaname and her blue haired ditz friend with you. Mary + Julie: ok. follow us. *the two take them someplace* Black Star: *following, keeping an eye on Tsubaki* -they reached a study- misono: here we are.... mahiru: hmm? oh are these the people you told me about misono? misono: yes. there were two others, but the kids are dealing with them. Black Star: *looking around* -elsewhere- nozomi: *placing the daruma on her desk* there we go. Iris: "Oh, that looks good!" nozomi: *she smiles* tamaki: *wearing her good luck charm as a pendant* *beaming* hehe~ Arthur: "I hope that charm works...It looks cute on you." tamaki: um.... thanks. *blush* nozomi: *she looks at the charm* -charm: good luck in love- nozomi: ...... *doesnt say anything* Arthur: *smiles at Tamaki before setting his new sword on the wall by his desk* "Magnificent. I hope its blade is sharp." shinra:.... *looking at the figure he won* Akitaru: "Oh, wow, Shinra! That's so cool! And retro!" shinra: thanks. commander hinawa's lessons paid off i guess, haha. sayu: *eating some konpeito she won* yum~ Akitaru: "Well, I'm glad you all had a good time--" Takehisa: "But it's time to get back to work." *drops papers on everyone's desks to file* shinra: o-o; Arthur: "..." *tries to slide papers off of his pile onto Shinra's* shinra: hey! -elsewhere- Wes: "I'm sorry to hear that about Tsubaki and Black Star. How are they doing?" liz: they're alright... -elsewhere- Kid: *arranging new souvenirs on his desk...* "Hmm...Just not symmetrical." stocking: *brushing her hair after the shower* Kid: *looks at her, smiles* "Your hair looks amazing." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "Feel rested after the festival?" stocking: yeah, i got a lot of stuff... a lot of it is back home... Kid: "What did you pick up? Some new clothes?" stocking: clothes, sweets, decor. Kid: "Your parents enjoy the sweets?" -elsewhere- Yohei: "YOU LITTLE SHIT!" akaderu: *running* *another him is hiding in his room... the real thing* akaderu: [in his room] ugh, what a drag... Yohei: "Get back here, you bastard! When I'm through with you, the only red you'll be seeing is your blood!" Shotaro: "??? Um...What happened?" chie: KICK HIS ASS HONEY! Tuhl: "J-Just...It was nothing. Nothing at all." ("I better not repeat it, or Chie will smash my head in...") Emine: "Well, I thought it was fun--" Tuhl: *slaps hand over his mouth* "Shut up. You want to live, don't you?" chie: *demonic glare* lin: O-O;;; saki: hehe, us kagehime ladies are known to be frightening when angered...let that be a lesson~ Yohei: "I got you cornered! When I'm through with you--" -akaderu just vanished?- Yohei: "...???" chie: where did he-?? akaderu: *still in the safety of his room* Yohei: "..." *taps his watch* "Locate that fucking asshole!" HOMER: "Please be more specific--" Yohei: "AKADERU! FIND HIM!" akaderu:.....shit. -one reprimanding later- Yohei: "Hmph. I knew books made for good weapons." *tosses wrecked book aside* chie: *hugging his arm* TT3TT Yohei: *holds her* "It's okay. I love you so much." Kepuri: -_-; "You people are weird." *glares at Akaderu* "And that was a jerky thing to say." akaderu: i said i was sorry... *has an ice pack to the eye* but if you had a baby, you'd still be cute... Kepuri: o\\\\o "...What?" Shotaro: "If Kepuri had a baby, would it be, like, bug larvae in a cocoon?" mana: ...... -_-; Kepuri: -\\\\\- *slaps Shotaro's head* Shotaro: *shrugs* "Just asking." -elsewhere- tsubaki: i think i understand a little bit more now.... sayaka: servant vampires?....and these littler vampires are _their_ servants?........ITS SERVAMP-CEPTION! misono: -_-; Black Star: "..." *snort* "Okay, that's kind of funny." tsubaki: -_-; mahiru: i was actually thinking the same thing... Black Star: "So, servant vampires...and one is some lunatic who wants to hurt Tsubaki?" misono: it would appear so. mahiru: a vampire stalking a human out of some sick twisted love? sounds like the plot of a really bad novel. Black Star: "So, let's say, hypothetically, I want to punch him in the balls. How do I go about that? Do I need to coat my hands with garlic? Or silver? Or holy water?" -elsewhere- Medusa: "Any word on their progress, Grimoire?" *cradling her child* grimoire: seems the creature is complete...it will be utilized on our attack on the denmark branch. neian: gumu! Medusa: "Denmark...What are you seeking there?" -elsewhere- Ochako: "So, Cuz, anything you wanted to see around Death City?" yuu: how about the movie theater? tsuyu: sounds good. Ochako: "Great! Maybe something with action, kung-fu, and explosions!" Bakugo: "!!! Did someone say 'explosions'?" -elsewhere- Relan: "Mail call!" mikami: ah! *she opens her letter* -it was a letter from her parents asking how she is- -ryuuko got a similar letter- Relan: "..." *looking for any letters for him...* -there was a package from shinra. it had a plastic wind chime inside- [note; got this for you at the festival. hope you like it. ~shinra] -there is a little doodle of shinra in the corner- Relan: "..." *sniff* T____T mikami: i-is everything ok?? Relan: "I'm just..." *smiles, crying* "...happy." ryuuko: oh? Relan: *nods, blushing* "I'll have to hang this up..." mikami: it looks very nice. *she smiles* Relan: *hangs it up* "Thanks...How's it look, Buttons?" buttons: ^o^ *approving squeak* -elsewhere- lord death:... *looking over kid's meds* Yumi: "Death?" lord death: hmm? n-nothing...just thinking..... *remembering when kid attempted to overdose and had to have his stomach pumped*.......*hug* Yumi: "!!!" *hugs* "Okay...You sure?" lord death:.....i just worry about kid...about all our children.... Yumi: *nods* "Is it anything you see now that is raising this concern...or just precaution?" lord death:....just thinking about past events..... (younger kid: it's my fault that mother died....maybe if i hadnt been born...she would still be alive...) Yumi: "..." *holds him* "I know...So much has changed since that time..." lord death:......*teary eyed* Yumi: "Hey..." *wipes tears* "Your kids--our kids--are okay. We are raising them to be well, and we are here for them now. So...let's keep them safe." lord death: right.....*he kisses her forehead* i love you.... Yumi: *smiles* "I love you, too." -elsewhere- Kid: *looking down* stocking: you ok? Kid: *nods* "Just feeling...I don't know. A little sad?" stocking:....*she holds his hand* Kid: "Thank you...I'm sure it's just a mood." stocking:..*huuuuug* Kid: *hugs back* "Thank you..." *sniff* "Thank you so much." stocking: *rubbing his back* Kid: *calms down, smiles* stocking: i love you kid....dont ever doubt that, ok? Kid: "I won't...I promise." -elsewhere- mami: *rubbing chrona's head as they lay down*.... feeling better? Crona: "...I don't know...Something's bothering me..." mami: what is it? Crona: "...Do you think I'm a screwup?" mami: i dont think that at all...what brought this up? is raggy teasing you again? Crona: *shakes their head* "It's...the past. Things I didn't do well...things I did wrong. I thought I was over it..." mami:.... *remembering the car accident...and how spirit saved her from the wreckage* even if we cant undo the past...all we can do is get better as we go along.... *she hugs them* Crona: "..." *stays in Mami's hug, unsure how to respond but to stay still* mami:....im happy....that you're here.... Crona: *small smile* "Y-Yeah...I'm happy when I'm...with you." mami:....*tiny blush and smile* Crona: *blushing* "I...I..." -tiny smooch on the cheek- Crona: *dumbstruck* mami:.....ah! w-was that going too far? *flustered* Crona: "Wh-What?
