Extension / Spinoff Of This Thread With @shacchou

The vibration from his pager in his pocket was sudden and out of nowhere, but he reacts to it as effortlessly as he did anything. Tasuku, along with Jack who was back in his card form, both move away from the other members of the Buddy Police that had gathered to arrest the criminal they both apprehended. His face shifts to one of concern as he presses the button in the center, immediately connecting the human to the youngest of the two Kaiba Brothers.

"Mokuba, are you okay?! Are you hurt at all?! What's your status?!"

"Tasuku...I'm...I'm okay. I'm not in danger or anything. I just...didn't want to contact you through...normal means."

"Oh..." He can feel his heart rate slow with that confirmation, but he still remains on edge. "Well, I'm glad you're not hurt. Didn't expect you to use the pager for a non-emergency, but that's no matter. It's clear you called me for a reason through these means. So, please. Say what you want to say. You...don't sound like yourself."

"Y-Yeah...I...I kinda have a big favor to ask of you."

"I see... Well, all you need to do is ask me, Mokuba. I'll do my best to help you in anyway I can. I promised you that the day we met, and that offer still stands now."

"Thanks, Tasuku."

The officer can hear Mokuba taking in a deep breath next. It was clear as day something was up. The way he was speaking now reminded him of how he was during the period his older brother was in a coma, when he was in agony over his brother's condition despite what Seto Kaiba had done to him. He was a caring and loving soul, Tasuku knew that much to be true.

"I...I wanted to ask if I could...stay with you for a while? I...I need some time away from my house, away from...away from..."

"You don't need to say it. I already can understand what probably happened. In any case, you're more than welcome to stay at my place for as long as you need. It's no trouble at all."

"A-Are you sure? I wouldn't...be burdening you at all? I know how busy you are with your work."

"Of course not. Friends and family are never burdens." He makes sure to emphasize that for him before continuing. "And while I'm an important part of the Buddy Police, I'm not the only officer on duty. Besides, Mr.Takihara was going to have me go on forced vacation for a few weeks now that the Rare Hunter situation is handled anyway. So, it really is no trouble at all."

Ruby hues widen once the sounds of sobbing reach his ears. The sounds of crying where among his least favorite noises, but not because he found it irritating. Crying often was a signal someone was in pain. Pain was a form of suffering, and as someone who wanted to rid the world, especially children, of suffering, hearing it made his heart ache and his ranger towards his assumed source of it grow.

"How...How dare he..."

The thoughts echo in his mind as he clenches his free hand, it shaking in his righteous anger. Seto Kaiba was already someone he didn't exactly like for several reasons, but to think he'd do something again to hurt his brother after the stunt he pulled at Death-T? Did he really learn nothing after almost losing everything?

Whenever he runs into that bastard again, he's going to give him a personal taste of Tasuku's own brand of justice. No one, no matter who you are or what the circumstances, should treat the only family they cherish in such a horrible way. He didn't even need to know the full details to know just how bad the situation was. Mokuba's tears he can hear through the speaker spoke volumes.

"It's going to be alright, Mokuba. I'm going to help you get through whatever it is that's troubling you. Just stay strong until I see you, okay? Know you're not alone."

"...T-Thank...T-Thank you...C-Can we meet at...the park?"

"Sure, no problem. Jack and I will meet you there. He can carry you back to my place. You did say you always wanted to fly on a dragon, right?" Jack normally wouldn't be too comfortable carrying someone on his back, but considering the circumstances, even Tasuku knows his Buddy wouldn't turn this down. The dragon cared for the young boy just as he did, after all.

"Mhmm. S-See you soon."

"See you soon. Be careful."

The transmission ends and his hand falls to his side. His teeth gritt in frustration, his breaths almost sounding like a dragon's growl. Despite his politeness and warm smile he tried to maintain as a part of his professionalism, he was still a rather emotional person. He felt thing so intensely, so deeply, that they threatened to consume his actions. And his emotions right now were screaming at him to go down to the Kaiba Mansion and personally give Seto Kaiba a piece of his mind.

It's at that moment when he feels a warmth and sees a glow coming from his chest. Tasuku knows right away it was his Buddy calling out to him, no doubt sensing his emotions. He puts his hand over the pocket where Jack's card was stored, closing his eyes as he moves to communicate with him telepathically.

"Tasuku... I understand your feelings toward the situation. You are not wrong to feel how you do. Your righteous heart of justice always cries out at the suffering of others, especially those you are close to. However, if you wish to truly help your friend with the emotional troubles he is facing, then you must calm yourself first. If you are consumed by your anger, then you won't be able to help anyone. Your friend is counting on you right now. Do you understand what I am saying?"

In situations like this, Jack really acted like his own consciousness. Everything he was saying was absolutely correct. Getting upset now would not help the situation. It would probably make it worse than anything. Mokuba was his priority right now, not his brother. All his focus should be put into making sure the younger Kaiba was safe and taken care of. In a way, he's to assume the role of an older brother for the time being, the role at this very moment Tasuku thought Seto Kaiba didn't deserve at this moment. And it's a role he will not fail at for the sake of his friend who reached out to him desperately, a friend who needed him and wanted his aid.

He would not fail.

"I...I understand, Jack. I know what must be done." He takes a deep breath then, trying to steel himself before he makes his next move. Tasuku reaches into his pocket to remove his Buddy's cards, holding it up into the air as he prepares for their departure. "Let's go to work."

With that, Jack's card glows, the dragon manifesting in his mini-form before the human. Tasuku grabs his deckcase, the Star Pulsar, from his pocket and shows it to the other. The red gem in the yellow case's center resonates with a golden glow of Jack's eyes, the deckcase eventually transforming into its true form, that of a yellow drone with four points sticking out of it.

"BUDDY SKILL ON."

The technological voice from his device is soon followed by a light burst of wind as Jack's Buddy Skill makes itself known. Two green rings appear at the boy's heels, their power causing him to start floating in the air. Once airborne, he wastes no time flying straight into the clouds towards his destination, with Jack soaring at his side.

It is during this flight that he informs his legal guardian of the situation. Mr.Takihara, being the kind of person he was, had a soft spot for children. So, of course he was okay with the idea. Tasuku had his own apartment joined with his, anyway. It was up to him how he managed the one-bedroom space. He gave the boy that kind of trust as if he were an adult.

Within minutes, the pair made it to the park. They sit on a nearby bench as they wait for the younger Kaiba to appear, Tasuku getting anxious as the minutes pass. Would he get there safely? Should he have just gotten him? What if he got mugged on the way here? All these thoughts rushed through his mind, and he was debating about going, until he hears footsteps approach and Mokuba comes into view at long last.

"Hey, Mokuba. Glad you got here safe."

He offers the young boy a warm smile he hopes will offer him some comfort and relief. Ruby hues observe the other's response, Mokuba providing only a small nod. The bag he was carrying with him was quickly noticed as well. Seems he brought things with him. Good. It be difficult to be away from home without some of your personal items, after all.

"Got everything you-"

Mokuba then approaches the Buddy Police Boy Wonder, Tasuku remaining still as he watches on. It is then that Mokuba slowly moves up his hands until they find themselves wrapped around the older boy's waist, the other's head resting on his shoulder pad. Before he can make a response, he freezes in place at the all too painful sound of crying reaching his ears for the second time tonight.

Tasuku responds soon enough, wrapping his own arms around the boy and providing gentle pats on his back. This is not his first go around comforting a crying child. It was something he, unfortunately, had plenty of experience with, considering his line of work. Children were often targets of game-related crimes, but that was part of why he did what he did, to protect those who could not protect themselves. It was his life's mission and one he continues to get stronger for.

"Mokuba...Don't worry. It's all going to be alright. Have faith in me, Jack, and your friends to help you. We'll be right there by your side to help you through this. I promise."

His grip on the boy tightens slightly then, a physical confirmation of his promise. He was going to care for Mokuba as if he were his brother, just as he would do for Gao or any of his friends should they need it. The selfless boy who was too desperate to become an adult would always shoulder the burden of those around him, being their rock when they needed it most...even at the cost of himself.

"Now, let's get going. You must be exhausted after everything." The Buddy Police officer speaks up once he hears the sound of the sobbing decrease, gently letting go of Mokuba and directing him towards Jack who was now in his true form. He lowers his body to the ground, allowing Mokuba to climb on his back safely. Tasuku will be sure to thank Jack for allowing this to happen, considering he was not a fan of being ridden.

Once secured, the three then soar into the air and into the clouds, leaving the town of Domino behind for the neighboring city of Cho-Tokyo, a place where Seto Kaiba had no power in. Hopefully, this change of scenery would help his friend recover from the emotional wounds inflicted on him, wounds that he should have never been inflicted on one so young, so innocent...like Mokuba Kaiba.

Sleeping awake.

There were three people who required sleep in Coppelius Station--four if she counted Spot II. Most of the androids had spaces they called their own, but almost none of them had anything resembling a bed. Arcana had helped her set up a room when she got there, and it was a perfectly acceptable, if unfamiliar, bedroom in the end. Spot II had even taken to sleeping on her pillows to make sure they were warm (probably).

The bed was fine, the blankets were fine, the room was removed enough that she could only hear the distant murmurs of all the other androids, but still she couldn't sleep. In fact, the longer she lie there just staring at the ceiling, the more wound up she felt.

Soji pet Spot II to occupy herself. At least, until the synthetic cat grew tired of her keeping it awake and meandered out of the room. At that point, alone and unable to sleep Soji resigned herself to exhaustion, dragged herself out from under the covers, and headed downstairs.

Her aimless wandering eventually carried her to the kitchen and she groggily debated the merits of a midnight snack. She wasn't particularly hungry or anything, but the replicator was right there. Peppermint ice cream wouldn't help her sleep, per se, but it couldn't hurt, so Soji blearily synthesized a bowl of it. She didn't bother turning on the lights once she had her snack, the replicator menu was bright enough to see by. Ice cream in hand, she maneuvered through the room and dropped herself down at the table.

She must have been more than half asleep because the moment she sat down, she drifted. As she sat there, idly prodding her ice cream, her eyelids were impossibly heavy. Blinking became something of an endurance trial. Despite her earlier insomnia, Soji struggled to keep her eyes open and started losing little bits of time in between blinks, with only her ice-cream as reference.

One moment it was all there, a nice little scoop of ice cream, the next there was a bite taken out and it was half melted. Her eyes drooped again as she had another spoonful. They were just closed for a second or two before a clap of thunder snapped her into the moment.

The boom startled her awake so sharply that she dropped her spoon. When she bent to pick it up, she was unexpectedly confronted with a pair of feet and startled again, knocking back into the table as she reeled away.

Had she always been this jumpy?

"Oh my god," Soji breathed and her eyes darted up. The sight of Data's face, even in the half-light of the replicator menu, put her instantly at ease. His pallor in the dim light made him look more than a little like a ghost, but his expression was all polite interest. Soji exhaled a sound like a laugh and leaned back in her seat, spoon forgotten.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you come in," Soji said, despite having the objectively best hearing of anyone in Coppelius. She hadn't heard him because she had been mostly asleep, ready to drop face-first into her melted ice cream.

@my-timing-is-digital

#data and soji #star trek roleplay #star trek rp #I should name the aus to keep track of them #one day but not today #I hope this works for you friend #a short time after the Ganmadan thread #or however long makes sense idk

@charroblanco

Through the smoky haze of the sparsely populated bar and lounge, a distinct looking gentleman took the stage. His suit was covered in what appeared to be hand-stitched embroidery- From the iconic sombrero crowning his head to the polished leather tips of his boots. A colorful silk tie offset the beige and tan colors of the charro outfit, almost jewel-like in the overhead stage lighting.

A few members of the audience weren't accustomed to such dramatic clothing, snickering amongst themselves as they elbowed one another. Yet rather than cower or falter in the face of such derision, the musician merely began to stomp the heel of his foot in a rhythmic pace. It made a attention-grabbing metronome as he continued, emitting a wild sounding vocalization that instantly shocked the patrons and stunned them into silence.

"Negrita de mis pesares Ojos de papel volando-"

His voice echoed throughout the bar without need of a microphone, rich in timbre and soulful in spirit. Jae-hyo exhaled a snaking plume of smoke as his eyes widened at the performance, eventually forgetting about his cigarette as the man continued to sing. He held his hands up, making a a frame of sorts around the foreign musician- Thumbs and forefingers making the corners of a single cell of faux film reel.

The clarity and purity of his voice was enough on it's own to mesmerize, but the mariachi had the right 'look' about him- Handsome features, an unspoken but noticeable presence, and a subtle yet infectious energy- His passionate song had managed to rouse those deadened by too much drink, after all.

As soon as the musician finished his set, Yoon grabbed his jacket and weaved through the tables and chairs positioned around the stage, eager to find out who his newest project might be. Arguing could be heard in a back room where the young man had disappeared, the subject clearly centered around money- What else?

Emitting a sharp whistle, Jae leaned against the door frame with a confident smirk pulling at the corners of his narrow and fox-like features.

"Forget this guy, all you'll make is chump change playing for some old drunks. Whatever he's paying, I'll double- No, more than triple- the amount if you partner up with me. The future is in film-making and cinema and I can easily make you a star! You'll be a household name in a matter of months, Mister...?" he trailed off, clearly waiting for a name.

If it was lousy, they could always change it- Nobody ever got famous being named something like 'Peabody' or 'Milton' in this business.

#charroblanco #◈ rp threads #Ernesto wows Jae immediately gets roped into some shady business ho ho ho #sorry it's a bit short I'm trying not to overwhelm myself with bible sized starters I USED to write and got burned out by #El Son de la Negra is like the mariachi anthem so I figured it'd work in this context #if I need to change anything lmk I don't mind elaborating and editing my starter!

"Think you're so fucking smart. I kill bitches before they get away."

Ghost knew Valentino wasn't lying when he said that.

They sat at their desk, bloody, ruined clothes discarded, dressed in only their binder and a pair of shorts. They'd relocated their arm, which had been a bitch and a half to do, patched themself up, and now sat at their desk. Their half-finished commission- or, rather trade- was shoved off in the corner to keep the blood off it, and while for a moment they pondered working on it, they decided not to.

They weren't in any space to be working right now. When Alastor gave Rosie her gift, she would receive high-quality items, not bloody scraps of yarn stuck together.

So instead, they stared out their window, head in their hand, pondering the events of the night.

"I kill bitches before they get away."

Ghost let out a sigh through their nose, closing their eyes for a moment, letting themself voice the question they knew they would not get an answer to.

"…so why didn't you?"

#[This takes place after the Valentino RP]#[I'm eventually going to make a short comic based on it but I am Tired and have been drawing too much today working on refs]#[I still need to draw full demon Ghost. That's gonna be fun. Can't wait to use them lmao]#[This is definitely one idea. I just had a thought and needed to get it down]#[Anyway Ghost is very confused and conflicted]#FICLET #GHOST [HH]#WRITING

route 218 continued

She takes her sweet-ass time rolling onto her feet, brushing the grass out of her hair and off her sweater, stretching and fixing her dress as Moss lights themself on fire for a moment. Totally normal things everyone does its nbd.

"Falling into this very specific river, then- wait, is it the same river?" She thinks about it for a moment, following the path it takes with her eyes before giving up. They probably connect at some point if nothing else.

"Absolutely. I think that knowledge is the only thing keeping me from having quit by now," she admit, looking for a good break in the wall of trees to shimmy through. She doesn't mind getting a few sticks in her hair, but she doesn't want it to be too difficult.

I will try and reply at least once to like any ask response I get because I get very excited about them. I just hope everyone knows they don't have to reply to EVERYTHING I give them (because I sure don't!!). I won't hate anyone or stop sending stuff or whatever. In fact, I probably will not remember that you haven't replied to something!! And that isn't me not caring intensely about you as a writer and our muses...that's just me having very bad memory. Like drop whatever you need to drop I probably will not even realize.

#i just dont want ppl seeing me reblog a silly ask response and go UGGGH ANOTHER DRAFT #like if you dont wanna you dont gotta!!! i love building off small bursts of interaction #if anything a chunk of short stuff like that can lead to ideas for a big boy long form thread #(;psa)#ive got shit object perm with rp. like. as long as i can see the reply in front of me. its gettin done #if it goes into my likes while im at work it's a 50/50 on it getting done kjdfbfg

Tales From the Gas Station (Vol. 1) Starters

a series of starters based on volume one of the Tales From the Gas Station series, because no one else was gonna do it, so. here we go. one quote from each chapter of the first book!

content warnings: mentions of murder, death, and drugs.

“I’m not inclined to lose my job just because you didn’t escape captivity with a little spare change in your pocket.”

"The scariest thing of all is realizing the monster was in the room with you the whole time."

"Whether or not you are a hallucination is none of my business, and I'll leave that up to you to decide."

"At least they didn't throw a beer bottle at me this time."

"I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't really care for cults."

"[Name] has been dead for two days. His body is in the trunk of my car.”

"You're putting words in my mouth, and I don't like when other people put things in my mouth."

"He just stared at the ground with a sheepish, guilty look on his face like a toddler that just got busted for dealing drugs."

"Even as a child, I wasn't gullible enough to believe that birthday wishes were real."

"Carrying secrets makes you too old too fast. You wanna talk about it?"

"What purpose do we as humans serve other than to eat and wait to die?"

“The doctor was just doing his job. His creepy, voyeuristic job.”

“Joke’s on you. People already think I’m crazy.”

“I’d say the package was just about the right size for a dead cat.”

“Well, if I accidentally kill you, that’s probably my bad. If I accidentally kill you twice, it’s a hell of a coincidence. But if I accidentally kill you three times? Three times? Well that’s on you. You gotta take some personal responsibility.”

“I recently learned that I am somewhat Internet famous.”

“Imagine, if you will, the sound of a butcher’s knife hitting a watermelon. Like a solid, wet, thwack. Now imagine the watermelon gurgling and falling to the ground like a sack of potatoes.”

“I never expected to take anyone’s life, but now that I had, the act turned out to be way more inconsequential than I could have ever anticipated.”

“We’ve never done that thing normal friends do. I hear people call it ‘hanging out.’”

“The name of the game was avoid and evade. Confrontation and eye contact. Just like prison.”

“Hey, guys, I gotta go. I think I heard a baby crying somewhere outside.”

“There’s a guy on the ceiling. His skin is all gray and he’s just lying there on the ceiling.”

“Don’t trust your eyes. You may see something that looks impossible. It probably is. There may be a dead loved one trying to call you outside. Don’t listen to them. They aren’t real.”

“He was the nicest guy that had pointed a gun in my face all week.”

“Great. Now let’s talk about the guy living in your supply closet.”

“Are you about to do the villain thing and explain everything that’s going on?”

“I know it’s a cliche, but ignorance really is bliss.”
