HEWWO INDIE FOLKS / PEOPLE THAT ARE OPEN TO INTERACT W/ INDIES I REMADE KYOUKO’S INDIE HERE

[aqulus]

"Um... Kirigiri-san... Happy birthday!" He held out a small bag, as he did his best trying to make her something sweet: various cookies wrapped up nicely. "They're a little burnt, but... I hope you like them!"

   She stares in silence for a bit - listening to what Naegi had to offer her, his comments - all with her typical deadpan expression. It was...so typical of him. All of this was typical and...

  Kyouko started chuckling something soft and airy. It was sweet - much like the treats he had brought her. A hand goes to take it from him, a small smile still dotting her expression. “Thank you, Naegi-kun,” she speaks from the heart. “...just...watch the timer next time, won’t you? I’m more concerned with what fire hazard this could have brought on.”

“Hey! Hey! Hey happy birthday to the bestest sister in the whole damn world!”

@aqulus

   “Bestest isn’t a word, Kyouka,” she scolds halfheartedly, eyes brimming with affection. “Thank you, regardless. I wouldn’t call myself the best - that isn’t objective in the slightest.”

[aqulus]

Smile proceeds to throw confetti into the air. Someone's caught wind of a certain detectives birthday. "Hey hey! Happy birthday!" He's got a gift tucked under one arm, the contents are a rather pretty necklace. Where in the world did he get that?

   What is up with the confetti? Kyouko raises a brow at him before smiling a little, a hand going to ruffle his hair. “Thank you Takashi,” she says, a questioning look spreading quickly across her features. “Do...I even want to know where you got it from?” Forgive her for being wary - she just never knew with this boy.

[aqulus]

“It was a rush job... Sorry. Been having a hell of a time, in the worst possible way. But this day shouldn’t be about me. It should be about you. Happy Birthday, Kyouko.” In Travis’ hands, a small box. In the small box, a pin. A metallic pin... of the Schnee crest. The somber otaku rubbed the back of his head. “Had to make some connections for this shit to work out. I just... thought you should have something to remember her by.”

   “It’s fine,” she starts, meeting his gaze with a hand coming to squeeze his shoulder. “You didn’t need to do anything. I’m...sorry for being distant. I know now that it hurts more than assists. You don’t...deserve to be alone in the way I’ve been,” it rushes past her lips without thinking - almost as if a weight had been taken off her shoulders. It was the truth. She knew she had been doing wrong - she knew she needed to be doing better. And it was that resolve that allowed her to keep going and push.

  “...you’re my family, Travis. You’ll always be a priority to me. I love you.”

  Her hands take the box from him wordlessly, a thumb sliding over the opening to reveal that crest. One that was connected to her source of hurt. One that had taken over her line of thinking. Her heart aches and bleeds - instinct almost compelling her to destroy it. She was stronger than that, however. Far stronger.

   Her other hand plucked it out of the box, tossing it to the side and she weaves the pin into the leather of her jacket. Right under the pin of her work crest - over heart. She wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it. Otherwise, all that time spent would have been for nothing. Her eyes close and she takes a step forward, hugging him.

   “Thank you, Travis.”

[aqulus]

"Yeah, happy birthday and shit." Digs into his pocket and throws confetti in the air.

   She stares in silence for a few moments, before sighing, and crouching down to pick up the confetti he threw. Someone has to clean it up.

[aqulus]

Jin made sure today was the day and not a day late like one would assume. But he had no present (yet) to give, which if he finds one suitable, he'll give it. "Hey, ah, Kyobabe. Happy birthday, darling."

   “...seriously, with the pet names. ‘Kyobabe’ is pushing it quite a bit,” she scoffs and crosses her arms, jaw set and looking to the side. “...thank you, I suppose. It’s just another day.” 

[aqulus]

"Nee nee, Kyouko-san?" He walks into her office, approaching her with a box in hand. "Knew I'd find you in here, happy birthday!" In the box is a mimikyu plush, not only that, its wearing an expensive lilac necklace. "I can take you out to dinner if you're hungry, or we can just hang out in general. Its your birthday, you deserve a day off today."

   “Did you now?” her eyes glance from the paperwork she was filling out, tapping the pen against the table, clicking it shut and her brows raise at the box he brought in. Kyouko stands up and pushes her chair in, taking the present from him and setting it on her desk - she would open it later, considering what offer he was presenting her. 

  “I’m not a very picky person, sadly,” she says with a hint of amusement, a hand coming to her chin. “We can go out to a cafe. There’s been a place I’ve been meaning to take you to,” work placed a lot of inhibition on what she desired to do. A hand goes and ruffles his hair, going to retrieve her saddle bag and placing the gift inside it, along with her other various files she’s been working on. “Let us be off, then.”

[aqulus]

"Kyouko-chan~! I heard that today was a special day for you~! Happy Birthday!!" He grinned and handed her a small box. He wasn't able to afford too much given his current circumstances, but he had managed to find a pair of cute hair ribbons that he thought would suit her.

  She was never huge on her birthday - sure, she knew of the date, but she didn’t really set aside anytime to do anything for it. Nor did she actively speak about it as if it was a huge occurrence. Her eyes widened a bit in response to being handed a small box - her fingers pressed into it faintly when given, brows furrowing a tad before relaxing back into it’s normal state. Kyouko takes a deep breath and clears her throat.

  “...thank you,” she says, opening the box methodically and allowing a gentle smile to cross her features in response to what she sees. “These are lovely. Somehow you possess better fashion sense than I do,” a chuckle, shaking her head and she goes to slip the box into her jacket. “I’ll be sure to wear them.”

“ What? You expect me to retort that? I hate myself more than you ever could. Why ya think I go around doin what I do? I just want wanna of ya to put me outta my misery at this point! But I ain’t talking about me. I’m talkin about you.” He leaned over just a bit, tone becoming a bit less mocking.

“What do ya mean ‘how pray tell am I pissy’? Look at yourself. You’re hurt, and its effectin ya. Ya let someone get close to ya, gave your all to um and somethin happened. I might be a big disgrace to…well pretty much everything but even I know how it feels to have your heart broken. It ain’t narcissism, it’s just bein smart. The more people ya let in the more your gonna suffer. Keep your lovers and friends at a distance, think everyone will betray ya and you’ll never get hurt.”

There’s a pause and her brows furrow. He...he had a point. Combined with that less of a mocking tone? She could see what he was saying. And she genuinely considered it.

   “...you’re right,” she says blankly, brows furrowed. “I...I am hurt. Deeply. Agonizingly,” she pauses once again. His words...they mirrored those of her doctrine. The doctrine never lead her astray before - she was able to get things done. Was able to keep herself from being hurt. 

  But was she ever happy?

  “I don’t have to be open to keep them safe, correct? Maybe that’s...enough. Maybe then the suffering will end.”

[aqulus]

   “ I ain’t tryin to insult ya lady, well not there anyway. I’m just sayin what ya are actin like. Ya wanna get all pissy cause someone went and broke your heart?! Ya sound like any ol’punk that’s walked the Earth! Ya wanna know how to be be happy? Fall in love with someone who’ll never leave ya! Yourself, cause that’s the only person ya can ever fully trust.”

   “And how pray tell am I acting ‘pissy’? I was stating a simple fact - emotions delude the right course of action and can influence you to do things you normally wouldn’t.”

A pause. “...fantastic, I’m receiving life advice from a torturer slash murderer. It sounds like you’re promoting narcissism or self-care. Explains a lot about you, really.”

[aqulus]

@tortorem replied to your post “   “…romance, intimacy - be careful. Viewing things through a rose...”

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Look at this little girl freaken out. You'd think she just lost her whole damn family. Pathetic."

   “Little girl? Really? Is that the best insult you can come up with?” she scoffs and rolls her eyes. “Predictable. Come back to me when you have better quips. Or did that smack to your ego hit your head as well?”

[aqulus]

"Hey I, um... know you're kinda mad right now, but... it'll all be okay, okay? When you're feeling better, maybe we can, um... go stargazing? I know you like that. Or we could just hang out! I can find a ukulele somewhere?"

   “...that would be pleasant,” she says after a momentary silence, rubbing her temple as if to ease some sort of hidden strain. “I’ve missed you. We...should spend time. I apologize.”

[aqulus]

"oi'. if ya' need anythin', ya' know where to find me, kirgiri."

   “...of course. Thank you, Kuwata-kun. I’ll keep that in mind.”
