[before someone yells at me, when I make mistakes I can’t undo them if they are in pen]
[with this said- I hate how Sun looks and will probably redo this at some point]
Have some lore too-
Ruin still has his Sun & Moon in his head, they can’t take full control but they can see through his eyes and sometimes even talk through him. The only person they ever talked to was Solar.
Sun has a plushie addiction that Ruin fully indulges in, Moon doesn’t mind too much. He just wishes sun wouldn’t make a big seen.
Moon talks the least outwardly and often has Ruin tell what he is saying.
Both Sun & Moon have their own rooms within the mindscape. Suns room has a hammock as well as a load of plushies and pillows and pictures on the walls, whilst Moon has a kind of nest bed with a ton of blankets and pillows, he also has a crap ton of video games that he and Sun play on occasion.
Ruin was actually hesitant when it came to his plan as he knew Solar would die, he tried everything he could to try and make it so Solar wouldn’t but he couldn’t find anything. Up until the day he executed his plan, he drove himself insane trying to think of something, sometimes even thinking about not doing it.
Unfortunately, he was hit with the awful truth that if he didn’t go on with his plan then this Dimension would collapse due to something the creators were doing. So he committed to save them and many more.
After all, what is one life to trillions?
He could save one and let trillions of Dimensions die, including this one, so some mad men could experiment with Wither Storms.
Or
He could save trillions and kill five thousand dimensions, including the person he cares about. The only true friend they have.
He never said anything about this world dieing. Even though it might have given him something- he doesn’t deserve anything, he just killed his only friend.
Sun stopped talking for about a week, leaving Moon as his only company as Sun hid in their room.
Ruin isn’t sure how much longer he can keep his emotionless mask from breaking. He could handle the aftermath of the collapsing dimensions, he couldn’t handle Solar’s death. It doesn’t help that when Sun started talking again they kept asking if what they did was the right thing.
When Solar comes back is when Ruin has a complete mental breakdown, as well as Sun. Moon mostly just stares in utter shock and it’s one of the first times he talks on his own.
((Obviously Solars gonna get home eventually. It just takes awhile.))
Tw for violence under the cut, see tags for more warnings
Saber growled as she morphed fully into her true form. A screech filled the air as she transformed, and Kaito looked back to see her. For the first time, he looked scared of her.
And then Saber attacked.
Launching herself straight out of the sky, a blur of rage and fury as she screeched again and aimed psycic blasts and claw swipes at Kaito. And the final battle began.
As Kaito attacked Saber with psychic energy, his strikes became ineffective, as Saber let them hit her and was still unharmed. She continued to dodge and slash and take the hits like they were nothing.
But there was always a last resort.
Kaito pulled out what looked like some kind of Pokeball and threw it at Saber. She never moved out of the way, which proved to be a mistake. The ball burst open, and a familiar substance covered her body.
Uranium.
Fuck.
Her one weakness.
Saber collapsed suddenly, and she reverted back to her normal human form. Kaito stood over her. "You can't defeat me as long as I have this element. Once I end you, I will come for Hanayo next. And then I will eliminate N, in front of Ghetsis of course. You may be strong.... but you can't fight your true weakness."
Saber growled and tried to stand up. Something blurred beside her, and then Kaito was sent flying backwards. Someone stepped forward and held out their hands threateningly.
"Ah, I see now. The one behind all this is an old coward who can't do anything for himself. I must say, although you are quite an interesting fighter, I find your skills quite.... lacking." Amalia said coolly as she took a calm fighting stance.
Kaito said nothing, simply aiming psychic energy at Amalia. She dodged them quickly, but something about this unsettled Saber. She tried to cry out. But it was too late.
Kaito struck out with full strength, and Amalia was knocked back into the wall. "F- fuck. Y- you can't- mmph.... you still can't win! I won't let you.... I'm still stronger and more powerful. Damn.... no point in retreating now." Amalia gasped out, still attempting to quip despite her injuries.
Kaito struck her again.
Saber watched silently as Amalia hit the ground again. Snarling, she moved to Amalia's side, and....
No.
This was....
Amalia's limbs were twisted at odd angles, and there was so much blood, leaking from everywhere. Even her mouth. Saber froze. Seeing how Amalia couldn't possibly survive these injuries. Weakly Amalia raised her hand to try and fight again, but Kaito pulled her towards him and stood over her. "Too persistent. You're in the way of my ultimate goal." Kaito raised his up Saber's knife to strike the final blow on Amalia.
Things slowed down after that.
Hanayo screamed in pain from somewhere far away.
Mew was knocked to the ground, unable to protect Hanayo.
Hanayo.
Amalia.
Family.
Pure, vengeful instinct overtook Saber then. Pulling herself to her feet and summoning up the one remaining feature from her true form, she launched herself at Kaito.
He tried to bring the weapon down. Saber closed the gap between them. He could barely turn around in time to see what was about to happen before his fear registered in his mind.
Saber used that last feature of her true form.
Bringing her mouth to Kaito's neck.
And sinking her fangs deep inside his throat.
For what seemed like several minutes, Saber bit down hard and didn't let go.
Not until Kaito's eyes rolled back into his head and his pulse stopped.
I know it’s stupid to get embarrassed about caring about a fictional guy on the caring about a fictional guy website but I am literally having such a deadshot moment rn
“(*jack’s signature mischievous music plays*) [I- I mean I know I reprogrammed the pu- the computer-] In my head I did it! [Alright?] When he died the first time I really didn’t think it was what I wanted. I thought I- I- I remember that we were f- (sighs) You know this- (*the music cuts*)
To go from being someone’s friend and really thinking... They cared about you and being in a little nation together like L’manburg, and then to have them kill you for trying to visit them at their lowest... And never apologize. And not care when you tell them all the troubles they put you through... And want to kill them so badly and then have them die... And actually miss the friend you lost?
[But it wasn’t-] I wasn’t missing my friend. My friend came back, and he’s fucking awful! [Alright?] He sucks! My friend is dead and I’ve- I’ve said this. And I thought him dying [would be the satisfaction-] or what was left of him dying would be the satisfaction that I needed, but it wasn’t [-and I stopped my mission]. But what I’ve realized is... Satisfaction isn’t going to be claimed [from] Tommyinnit dying. Satisfaction will come from me killing Tommyinnit. (*the music picks up again*)
Death happens. It comes and goes, but the act of making him understand the pain he put me through, the lack of remorse he showed me-- that’s what he needs to see. That will be the moment where I know... I. Was. Right. He will know I was right. And the sun will set on a server that will be ever so more peaceful.
After a whole year of playing I finally have Rindou's initial 5* fully bloomed :D
pt. 1
Rindou
Are you headed home? It suddenly started raining, so please be careful.
Do you have an umbrella? I can lend you an umbrella if you’d like.
MC
Wouldn’t it be troubling for Rindou-san?
Rindou
I’m fine. My house is nearby, so it’s easy to run.
More importantly, I’m more concerned about you catching a cold.
MC
I’ll be sure to be careful.
Thank you.
Rindou
Ah, I’m sorry. I feel like I’ve intruded too much.
My family has always been prone to catching colds.
I’m sorry. Please, just be careful.
MC
Then, shouldn’t Rindou-san be careful as well?
Rindou
I’ve always been quite healthy, so I’ll be fine.
Besides, I don’t dislike the rain.
You could say I like looking at it.
It feels like everything is being washed away.
Though it is a bit silly to let your emotions be swayed by the weather like this...
I feel like the truth is very close to this, surprisingly.
You can’t go against nature.
Ah, I’m sorry. I got in your way.
If my umbrella is alright with you, it’s in Unei’s office.
If you ever need it, please just take it.
Well then, please take care. See you tomorrow.
pt. 2
Rindou
When it rained yesterday, were you alright?
It suddenly stopped as I was about to head home.
However, when I left the store, it started pouring again.
It caught me a bit off guard.
I ran as fast as I could because my house was just nearby, but when I arrived my clothes were soaked heavily.
MC
Are you alright?
Rindou
I’m alright. I’m a very healthy person.
(coughs)
MC
...You’re not okay.
Rindou
I’m alright.
MC
Please don’t overdo it.
Rindou
Fufu, this is quite refreshing.
In Starless, you’re responsible for your own physical condition.
Because we fulfil a variety of roles, even an understudy needs t be able to stand on their own.
If you're unable to stand on the change, they'll change the starting line up without hesitation.
So, I don’t have time to get sick.
(coughs)
MC
Rindou-san...?
Rindou
I think it’s a bit dusty in here.
I’ll be sure to clean up later.
(dancing)
….Huh, where did I leave my water bottle?
MC
Ah, isn’t it this here? Here you go.
Rindou
Thank you very much. I’ll go grab it.
Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hold on to your hand.
MC
Your fingers were very warm.
Do you perhaps have a fever?
Rindou
(angry) I don’t. I’m fine.
Rindou
(calms down)
...I’ve caused you to worry.
I’m sorry, but I really am alright.
I will return to the lesson. Please watch over me if you’d like.
MC
...You’re alright, huh.
pt. 3
Rindou
(looking around) It...It should be around here somewhere....
MC
Rindou-san? Are you reall okay?
You've looked pale even before you went to take a break...
Rindou
(shocked)
...Ah, apologies, you caught me off guard. It seems I've scared you as well.
I've been looking for something, but it looks like I'll just have to ask Un'ei later.
I'll go back to my lessons. You should also-
(collapses)
MC
Rindou-san!? Are you okay?
Rindou
Sorry...I'm just a bit...
MC
You have a fever, don't you?
Please take a seat and relax.
Rindou
Un'ei-kun should have cold medicine, so I thought of looking just for that...
MC
I'll look for you.
Please just sit down.
Rindou
I'm sorry, I'm troubling you again...
I'm always so helpless...
MC
Hm?
Rindou
It's nothing.
(MC hands over the cold medicine to Rindou)
Rindou
I'm sorry to bother you, but the cold medicine really helps.
I'm grateful to Un'ei-kun for having a medicine box ready.
...Break time is almost over. I was just in time.
MC
This doesn't work immediately, though? So why don't you just rest for the day?
Rindou
It's alright. Sitting down made me feel a little better.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you.
And one more thing...can you please keep this a secret from the others?
MC
But...
Rindou
If I'm not in my best, I will be disqualified from being out top.
I don't want anyone else to know about this.
MC
D-disqualified...
Rindou
I won't forgive myself if that were to happen.
I don't want to be taken away from the stage.
...Hah, it looks like it'll rain heavily tonight as well.
MC
(Rindou-san...)
pt. 4
(backstage, a rearrangement of Niji no Kanata E plays in the bg)
Rindou
Welcome, MC-san. I'm glad you could make it to the show.
MC
Uh, are you alright now?
Rindou
Fufu, I'm alright now. There's no need to worry.
The cold is our little secret, okay?
MC
Please just don't overowrk yourself, okay?
Rindou
That's right...I don't want to show you such an unsightly view.
MC
That's not what I meant...
Rindou
I should really be careful, because I don't want you to be so worried over me.
It's embarassing to be seen so weak like that...
But, it made me a bit happy. Thank you so much for worrying for me so unconditionally.
If you ever got a cold, I should be the first one to know.
I'm sure you'll be worried over it, but please let me take care of you as well.
MC
I hope it doesn't ever get to that.
Rindou
Speaking of rain, are you alright? It rained a bit a while ago in the morning.
MC
I was fine. Did Rindou-san get drenched this time?
Rindou
I had an umbrella with me today, but before I knew it, the rain stopped, and suddenly...
Between the buildings, I was able to see a rainbow.
It had been a while since I last saw one, so I was really happy to see it.
I wish you were there. I wanted the two of us to see it together.
I wonder what you would have said at that moment.
I really can't hate the rain. The atmosphere during it is so nice.
It feels like everything will be washed away as well.
It's not good to be so easily swayed by the weather, despite having rain or not...
But, if I'm able to see such a beautiful rainbow at the end, then I'll be happy.
Like being able to see you smile.
You're going to watch the show, aren't you? Please, I want you to keep your eyes on me.
Please, only look at me, okay?
this is weird, but I know you've talked about the ear piercing thing, so just fyi I think in bordy's new ig stories you can see both his ears?
homie. bestie. bruh. beloved. please insert your preferred endearment here anon this is not weird you are a) always welcome to send me asks about anything and b) 🥺🥺 i love when y’all enable me and send me asks about things which i will probably go screech into a hole about, such as this:
per thom’s insta story 6.23.22, i zoomed in an unreasonable amount of both of his ears and now feel like this :/
[a brief aside: my GOD does he have a crooked smile i’m obsessed with it and also the family resemblance is real]
anyway after much consideration and absolutely Losing it may i present this, which may or may not be but i am choosing to believe is, thomas bordeleau’s pierced left ear (earrings not included)
Violently swinging between still wanting to write that "Kuvira talks Suiren down from her manic cleaning spree" fic and not wanting to just rehash what I've written before/fearing I won't do it justice/genuinely scared of triggering myself again because I sink deeper and deeper with every breakdown
