Mikey can feel himself shaking.

He hates it. This weakness - this fear and the heart-pounding terror that, at times like these,  always emerges from so deep in his core that it feels like it defines him. He’s supposed to be strong. How can he be a leader when he can’t carry the people he loves through their pain and beyond? He can barely even manage to stand on his own two feet, let alone protect the people he cares about.

He’s always been weak, and he’s always hated the weak. The weak can’t do a thing. If they just tried a little harder, fought a little more, then they’d be able to protect themselves and the people they love... but they don’t even try. The weak make excuses, and bring nothing but misery to those around them, and there’s no-one out there weaker than Mikey.

He can lie, and deny it to himself, but... at times like these, he knows the truth.

But that doesn’t mean he’ll accept it. No matter how much it hurts, he’ll stop his body from shaking and put a smile on his face as if nothing is wrong... because Baji deserves it, after all - he’s the one who really suffered here.

As he enters the hospital room, Mikey feels his heart come to a stop. It’s just for a moment, as he sets eyes on Baji - who’s alive, he’s not dead; oh god he could’ve died too - but a barely-strained smile forms on his face regardless. He’s scared, because he doesn’t know if Baji will be happy to see him. But..

“Baji. ...You really scared everyone, you know.”

When Senju spots the other boy, just visible through the gloom of the darkness... she immediately tenses up, ready for a fight. Her heart is pounding in her chest, and though she doesn’t want to admit it... she’s afraid, if even only a little.

But it’s fine. She’s strong. She knows how to protect herself, certainly if it’s just one lone stranger who looks her age anyway- but, as she gets a better look at him... Senju suddenly realizes that this is someone she might know. Or well, it’s more like she’s heard of him.

“You’re... from Toman, right?”

The laugh Victor gives himself is bitter and half-mad. Henry's touch is so kind, yet it feels just the same as if he'd stabbed him through the chest. He wants to say it... he wants to confess everything, if only so the heavy grip of his crimes might finally release him a little - though he knows he'll never truly be free. But...

"I cannot say! I cannot - oh, God..." But at Henry's request, he does slowly sit - and all at once, it's like the life has been drained out of him. He sobs, but the sounds he makes are restrained, somehow giving him the appearance of someone far older than he really is. Has he been aged by grief, or regret?

"Justine is innocent... but my brother's true murderer runs free. I pray to god that he will not strike again, yet I fear... I am so afraid, dearest Clerval! William is already a victim, he is never coming back, and... ahhhhh..." he wails in despair, unable to go on.

To be continued...

Thoughts, a couple more shots, and transcript under the cut.

So I hadn't really thought through the ending of the photoset when I started (like most things I write lmao). I realized I'd made similar fits for both of my characters, just that Hilary's matches her personality, and was immediately inspired to update NPVal with some Streetkid-gone-Nomad outfits. I sat down to write the dialogue after and realized I still needed an ending to the story! I don't want this to languish in WIP purgatory any longer so this will be a two-parter.

Transcript...

Carol: What the hell are you wearing?

Hilary: What, you don't like it?

Carol: That streetkid is rubbing off on you.

Carol: Speak of the devil...

Val: What was that?

Mitch: Hey, Val...

Hilary: Carol says we hang out too much.

Mitch: ...let's go get those scop dogs.

Carol: You two are starting to dress alike.

Simultaneous: Val: Do not dress like that!! Hilary: What's wrong with the way she dresses?

Val: Don't dress like that, do I, babe?

Carol: Yeah, babe?

Mitch: Uh, do you — are you — sorry, it's Pan.

<Text Message> Pana Lama Ding Dong #%!& GENERATORS! </end Text Message>

Mitch: Are you fucking kidding me? I just fixed them last week!

Panam: Then you had better fix them again!

A few minutes later...

Panam: So what was that about?

Mitch: Carol. Got Val riled up about Hilary dressing like her.

Panam. You know she does, right?

Mitch: 'Course, and ya know I can't tell her that.

Panam: And what will you say when she asks again later?

Mitch: Figure something out.

Zenkichi doesn't know what it is about this man.

Is it that he seems particularly approachable? Maybe, maybe not. In fact, it might be unfair, and completely inaccurate, but Zenkichi can't help but feel like he gives off a bit of a clumsy, unreliable vibe. Certainly, he's not the kind of person he'd ever consider a threat, so what is it about him that's caught Zenkichi's attention...??

As Pubsec, you tend to get an eye for when someone is suspicious, or doing something they shouldn't be. He doesn't think that's the case here - or at least that's what his instincts are telling him, but it's... well. Interesting, he supposes, that something's set off his gut feeling. Now if only he could figure out what it was trying to tell him.

"Hmm? Oh- sorry to stare." Busted, Zenkichi thinks as he notices the man looking back up at him after a moment. "I've been spacing out a bit... it's been kind of a long day. You alright?"

“Wise idea.”

Besides, talking to Nor Fel would be the boring part of their day. If anything, she was most looking forward to travelling along the Forgotten Highway at high speeds with the wind in her hair and the roaring and shaking of her Warthog to remind her that she was alive. It would be interesting to see Church’s reaction not only to the high speeds she was capable of reaching, but also, the highway itself.

It was sad, but in a melancholic, poetic way. A reminder that not everything on Venezia was as built up as New Tyne, perhaps never would be.

“I shouldn’t be long, anyway. I just have an outstanding payment to make and I’ve gotta pick up my Ninja.” The sleek sports bike still needed some fine-tuning, and if she needed to go out into New Tyne while working on her bike and things for Nor at the same time, she tended to leave the vehicle under the Skirmisher’s watchful gaze. She knew the Kig-Yar wouldn’t steal her bike — wasn’t in the old bird’s interest — and that Nor valued her enough to ensure nobody else stole it.

Her Ninja was a valuable commodity, if only because it was a working vehicle in good nick — much like her Warthog — and that wasn’t always easy to come by. It could make a decent ride for a hopeful... or a fuckton of credits.

Sigma has never met Kyouka before, but... he knows of her.

Fyodor didn't tell him everything. But the fact that there's a member of the ADA who used to be part of the Port Mafia - an assassin - is something he's familiar with. An assassin, at such a young age... whenever Sigma thinks about it, his heart twists with an emotion he finds it difficult to identify.

Maybe he can relate to her, just a little. Sigma by now has worked for more criminal organizations than he can count, and he can't imagine that the Port Mafia saw Kyouka as anything other than a tool to use for their benefit, either. But... there's one difference between them.

Because now, in theory... Kyouka is free from all that...

It's actually her who notices him first- by the time he becomes aware of her presence, she's already looking at him, though Sigma doesn't know for how long she's been doing so. He feels strangely self-conscious under her gaze, but forces his voice to remain steady as he speaks.

"You're... Izumi-san, right...?"

"You're Hakkai's sister, right?"

Weirdly enough, they actually look quite similar. It's something about the eyes, Mikey thinks, enough so that he was able to recognize her pretty quickly despite not having seen her before.

Well, they technically have met once - at that Church on Christmas day. But Mikey wasn't paying attention to her then, and they hadn't exchanged words. It was only afterwards that Mikey was filled in on everything that had happened, and... something struck him about what he'd heard, about the conflict between the Shiba siblings specifically. Hakkai, who had lied and hidden his weakness from everyone, and Yuzuha, who'd always been protecting her brother...

"Are those bruises getting any better?" he asks, bluntly, but in a friendly kind of way. Then he smiles. "I heard you got beat pretty badly back at Christmas. It's good that you're alright."

It wasn't normal for them to host. If their dinner plans were with someone, it was usually with her brother and Rachel. Or the plan had been to go "bother" Katherine about taking actual control of her heart stuff. She hadn't been there for all of it, but she had been there for the more recent stuff -- mostly there to poke and prod the woman into maybe doing what Kass had been trying to get her to do for...a long time. In between that, her internship, and helping out her brother when he needed an extra set of hands at the bar or with baby sitting -- she was surprised she hadn't pulled her hair out or had her own health issues because of it. She knew how exhausting it was for her husband -- so when she heard about this guy, she sighed a breath of relief for both of them.

Because maybe it meant that she would actually do something.

She rushed home and did everything -- showered, curled her hair, put makeup on, get dressed. She knew how important this night was -- for both of them. She padded out of their room -- her scrubs gone and now in a simple pair of jeans with a half tucked in band tee and into the kitchen to find Kass. A soft sigh fell past her lips, reaching into the drawer where she kept the hand cream for moments like these. She set it on the counter -- washed her own hands and dried them off before gently applying some of the cream to his hands and gently rubbing it in to his extremely over washed ones. "Everything's going to be fine." Almost as if it were on cue, she heard the knock at the door. She pressed a soft kiss to his cheek before padding to the front door. She took in her own deep breath and put on her warmest smile as she opened the door. Viv bit back any initial comments that threatened to spill past her lips and she cleared her throat, opening the door and gesturing for them to come in. "Come on in. Be careful of the cats. Big black one is Soup, orange is Salad, and the one with the missing eye is Breadsticks," she looked at them with another smile, "And I'm Viv. Shoes off. Make yourself comfortable."

@antakilla said: 18. A rainy street

It was cold, and wet. He'd grown to enjoy feeling water, water that wasn't used for drinking, but feeling cold? Not so much. Still, he marveled at what was falling from the sky, in a way that never happened in his present. The hedgehog shivered, just slightly, before his view was obstructed. More importantly, he didn't feel the cold rain anymore.

Which was a godsend.

"What's that?"

A simple question, as his gaze shifts down towards a face he could recognize. Thank goodness for that, too. Silver wasn't the most confident around total strangers. But he knew this person's name, and had an idea of the kinds of things they did. Best of all, they had believed him when he mentioned being from the future.

"I just love it when water falls from the sky. I think it's the most amazing thing ever. It's like the sky is giving life to the rest of the world."

Silver found himself smiling. Perhaps, even grinning just a little bit?

"I don't know how the water gets into the sky without us seeing it, but it must be something. I just wish it wasn't so cold. Cold is really hard for me, so uh... thanks for the water protection. All I can do is lift my hands over my head, but it's not nearly as big as this thing."

Okay, I know it's late but I have made a bio for Vincent and I am now releasing him to everyone who would like to prod him, he is indeed Canon-Divergent, so it can be easier for OC's and crossovers to enjoy shit with him, seeing as he isn't solely focused on hunting down John Wick, so he is slightly tweaked and adapted.

Frederick hasn't been at this manor for nearly as long as the others. Though it feels like it's been an eternity to him, it means that he's still getting to know the other survivors who've found themselves trapped in this place.

And Emma Woods... is one of those people. It's such a bizarre feeling, seeing her now. While he'd never known her in life, he had heard of her - as a girl who went missing in mysterious circumstances several years ago, her life sensationalized and her disappearance treated as an unsolvable mystery by those who knew of her.

Never would he have dreamed he'd ever end up joining her among the ranks of the missing. ...He wonders if they're looking for him, too. They must be - while not for the reasons he wants, Frederick Kreiburg is a well-known name among the higher classes, and yet... that fact brings him no comfort at all.

Regardless. It's cruel of him, but the one thing that strikes him as he looks at her now is what he knows of her past. Knowing she's been a patient at an asylum for so much of her life... to be quite honest, it chills him to the bone. The reason for that discomfort is difficult to identify - or maybe, deep down, it's something that he simply doesn't want to acknowledge.

Today, though... there's only one question on his mind. Though he doesn't know if it's curiosity or paranoia that drives him to ask.

"Tell me. Why did you approach me, of all people, for this?"

@walkitoffrogers continued from here

Logan hadn't known what he even expected out of this game of spin the bottle. Yes, his friends made it low stakes with alternative forms of kissing, and that's what made it so much fun. Laughter bubbled through the room alongside throwing bits of candy around, sipping some alcoholic beverages or hot chocolate. Amid the playful chaos, this happiness that filled him at how Stevie was able to look like she was fully relaxed and having fun, he couldn't stop staring at her from time to time. One of his friends caught him, and he blushed a bit before sipping his cocoa to hide it.

And when Stevie spun that bottle and stilled on...him, Logan felt himself too blush when her gaze landed on him, but he straightened anyways, ready for whatever she'd give. And such a sweet kiss she did give, Logan didn't expect to feel himself rise to cloud nine almost immediately. He restrained a soft moan from spilling out by some miracle, thank god, but when it was over, he lingered close to Stevie for a beat, smiling and biting his bottom lip before sitting back again. A sudden rain of almond joy candies were pelting down on him from the far side, where his friends (who he'd told privately of his feelings for Stevie), had knowing smirks on their faces.

After another few rounds of jovial play and candy eating, everyone dispersed. Logan grasped Stevie's wrist gently before they'd leave the room, little ghost garlands hanging above their heads. A hand came up to her neck, brushing some blonde hair behind her shoulder, his thumb settling on her chin and he gazed into those beautiful eyes before leaning in for another kiss: this one far from held back from prying eyes. While Logan did restrain himself, he wanted it to be a bit deeper of a kiss, hoping to make her mind go blank momentarily. He hoped he wasn't overstepping, and if he was he'd sure know, but a second, soft kiss was given before he allowed himself to pull back, noses touching and foreheads leaned close, blonde hair blending together between the two of them.

"You know, Akira..."

Outwardly, Haru is as refined and confident as ever as she speaks up with a smile on her face to Akira. But inside, she can't help but feel a little nervous. He can probably tell - he's always so perceptive with these things, Haru finds, but that won't stop her from saying what she wants to say.

"You've done so much for me, but I feel like I never get the chance to thank you." she starts, placing her hands on her lap as she talks with a wistful kind of smile. It's not like she's never thanked him before, but...

"I'm always relying on you for one thing or another, it seems. You really are quite reliable, you know that? But... I just want you to know, if you ever need anything, I'm here too. I hope you can rely on me as well when you need it."

Having said her piece, Haru suddenly laughs, breaking the atmosphere she's created with her words. "Ahaha... I suppose that was a little much, wasn't it? Forgive me."
