Even if Ash lynx didnt die his relation with eiji will still be doomed and its not because they hate each other its because their worlds are so incompatible that the viable option they only have is to let go of each other and live separately for their mental peace but especially for Ash's mental peace because Ash cares too much for his loved ones and he cant bear losing them. Shorter's death was already weighing down on him.
Cameron is actually really great at taking care of the other poets when they're sick (even Charlie, who complains to no end)! he and meeks usually team up to help out whenever one of the poets is struggling. he makes his mom's soup and is surprisingly tender, whilst still making sure everyone is distanced enough so an outbreak doesn't occur (cause we all know all the poets are very touchy-feely with each other...)
Maybe because I have a person vendetta against the term Yandere for personal reasons I DO NOT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE CALL YOOSUNG A YANDERE. I fucking hate cheritz for doing this too. When you get the Bad Ending 1 you personally on your own voilition isolate yoosung from everyone and take advantage of his declining mental illness and call it upon yourself. He DOESNT know about the bomb either else he would have likely not come. Also every character act possessive towards you so yoosung saying he wants all of you for himself is not specific to him
Lolita's Note: yk i just had to! not sure abt the word count. i'm just making these up as i go. happy 10th anniversary mystic messenger!! 😭🫶🏻 you were everything and i will always keep rfa close to my heart.
cw: none!!! i hope u enjoy reading <3
first off, vanderwood catches seven practically throwing all his clothes in his closet looking for the red pair of socks he swore he had. he can't show up to the party without wearing them. not when he practically bragged about looking cool in the chatroom.
"you bastard!! i just cleaned that damn closet yesterday!!" vanderwood yells, frustrated, annoyedー everything negative emotion you can feel, it's practically boiling in him.
"i'm sorry! i'm sorry! i just can't find them. ugh, where areー found it!" seven hurriedly puts them on and runs to the door, then runs back to his desk to wear his glasses.
"i swear to god, if you don't finish it tomorrowー" vanderwood trails behind him as the redhead prepares to leave his home.
"taser me all you want, but i'm having my well deserved fun today!" before he hears any of it, seven intentionally slams the door and laughs, finally on the way to the party.
meanwhile, zen is all dressed up like he promised, his makeup is flawless, and his hair is perfect. on the way to the party, he's already doing vocal warmups, practicing his anniversary speech, and ohー
"where are my antihistamines?" he confidently asks himself, thinking that he already packed them on his bag.
but they are nowhere to be found.
"holy fuck. i'm so screwed." and he's already overthinking about how he'll look stupid sneezing violently in front of you knowing full well that damn cat will be at the party.
yoosung! is! happily! singing! to himself! and! he! doesnt! care! that everyones watching!!
the moment he stepped out of his apartment, he kept chanting: "10 years! RFA! 10th anniversary! Yay!" like a damn cheerleader.
he was so nervous that he forgot to log in to LOLOL the night before. to be fair, ever since he graduated, he didn't game as much as he used to.
LOLOL had some sort of event going on though, but he didn't care at all. he wanted to see everyone and eat to his heart's content!!
rika crossed his mind once, during the ride on the way. part of him wanted her to be present, but you're already going to be there. he figured it'll be more fun. and he'd already came to terms with the fact that 10 years have passed. the reason that RFA is still here is because of you.
speaking of rika, ever since she somehow got a hold of the chatroom when everyone was asleep, you had a feeling that she's somewhere in seoul. as much as you wanted the RFA to be truly complete, you knew that inviting her isn't the best idea after everything everyone went through.
still, you managed to track her down and send her a small gift from an anonymous location. just to be sure you're safe. not like you're in a position to be manipulated to join a cult again.
you'll never know it, and you'll probably question her messages until the day you die, but she meant every single one of them. part of her wishes that things didn't turn out like how they did, but truthfully, rika can't imagine herself being someone different after the past that she went through.
anyway. V!!
oddly enough, he becomes the best dressed in the party. weeks prior, he cancelled his flight to an exhibition and his managers were disappointed. but hey, can't please everyone in the room, right?
he calls jumin on the way.
"it's been a while, jumin." he says, an excited smile on his face.
"indeed. are you on the way? assistant kang just arrived with the food." jumin replies on the other line.
"yes, i'll be there in ten. has everyone arrived already?"
"there are still others who are not hereー oh, saeran. welcome." jumin replies.
v smiles fondly as he overhears jumin and saeran exchange conversation about the ice cream he brought to the party.
he makes a mental note to take lots of photos during the event.
when saeran arrived actually, seven also parked his car and saw him just in time. so they both entered the venue together.
feeling a little sentimental, seven put his arms over his brother's shoulder.
"you really made sure to bring mint ice cream, huh." he teases.
"…you can never go wrong with having an extra." he quips back, chuckling to himself.
seven stops in his tracks and looks at him.
"what?" saeran asks. seven ruffles his hair and ushers him to go inside.
jaehee is of course, and as always, making sure everything is going according to plan.
as someone who's practically used to being called to work in ungodly hours, managing the preparations for this event are a breeze, so she's not stressed at all.
in fact, out of all the members, she's the most excited!! she even took the time to splurge on a pair of gold earrings and a luxury makeup set. compared to her workload 10 years ago, jumin finally decided to cut her some slack.
she's still in a managerial position, but she works less and sets her own hours. and her pay is increased every month, so she has time to manage the cafe she always dreamed of opening.
my girl is set for life but still continues to work every day T_T
"cake, check. luciel's chips and soda, all here… omurice, wine, pizza… pie, charcuterie… what else… beer… ice cream…" she trails off.
"assistant kang, where is elizabeth 3rd?" jumin suddenly asks.
oh, of course, how can i forget? she mutters to herself.
"your cat is lounging on the couch by the window. the salmon and caviar you requested for her are neatly plated by the caterers at the small table beside everything." she says almost instantly.
jumin smiles, and teases her, "you're always so tense, jaehee."
"hardly!" she laughs. "i'm just happy to be here today."
BEFORE WE FORGET, JUMIN HAN WEARS:
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO bowtie
vintage tom ford shoes
a high end south korean designer's custom suit tailored just for him
genuine gold cufflinks
a sapphire brooch ー which is also a family heirloom btw.
and of course, two kinds of designer perfume.
you were the last to arrive to the party. your dress wasn't anything too expensive, but it was beautiful enough for the occasion.
your hands were full of giftbags for everyone. zen helped you carry them as you enter the room.
"happy 10th anniversary to the RFA everyone!" you cheered, and yoosung was the first to bawl his eyes out.
"this day is so special. you have no idea how much you all mean to me." he says in between sobs.
"i knew he's gonna cry." zen laughs. you elbow him.
v starts taking photos of the event. before zen performed, he set up another camera to record him.
"thank you, jaehee. for organizing everything." you tell her. jaehee also can't help but tear up at that.
"it's nothing." she sniffles, "we have been through so much, haven't we?"
"we really did." v butts in, though his eyes were focused on the camera, a content smile on his face.
the games started out really fun and casual. truth or dare, spin the bottle, cham cham cham, you name it.
when yoosung turned the karaoke on though, that's where everyone started to get rowdy.
the ones who fought over it though were him, zen, and seven. jaehee argues a bit when yoosung groans in annoyance when zen keeps on choosing to sing his own songs.
jumin would casually throw some snide remarks at zen just to irritate him.
seven would keep singing the same arabic song over and over again.
jaehee just laughs most of the time.
v would too, and his pictures become blurry and candid as he, too, savored the moment.
saeran would be in a corner eating his mint ice cream. at first he'll take seven's side, but just gives up because of his bad song choices.
"saeran, why don't you sing a song too?" you ask, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"yeah! she's right. ever since my last song, it's been you," he looks at zen, "and seven's damn arabic over and over again." yoosung agrees.
"but i'm notー" saeran protests helplessly.
"come on. it's just us here anyway." jumin supports.
at this point i dont care if its not canon but saeran actually sings so good it calms the other 3. they were SAT.
"why are you guys suddenly so quiet?" he gets a little bit self-conscious after singing.
"the song you picked sums up our anniversary. it's really fitting!" you praise.
"oh." he smiles. "well, it's my favorite."
"that's my brother for ya! now, it's my turn againー" seven sneakily butts in. but before he could press the song code again, yoosung latches onto him to stop him.
"i'm not letting you go until you pick a different song."
suffice to say, hours went by and everyone had so much fun.
oh, but what about zen's cat allergy? jaehee made sure to bring antihistamines. and also an inhaler in case zen really suffers bad.
thankfully, the meds seemed to work!
at the end of the celebration, everyone set a campfire with some smores, and you initiated the gratitude speech.
one by one, you all shared your musings, regrets, and kept rika in your wishes despite the fact that she wasn't there.
after that the conversation flowed naturally. everyone had some random story to share. jaehee fangirled when zen announced his new tour. everybody listened to saeran share his new hobby. jumin revealed his new favorite ramen flavor, much to zen's disbelief. yoosung plans to go on a research trip somewhere in africa to study about wild animals in savannas. seven jokes about his work as a hacker, but when asked about his safety, he assures everyone that there isn't really anything serious threatening him (except for vanderwood tasering him when he returns home). jaehee explores the idea of opening another branch of her cafe, much to jumin's approval. and v suggests to create an archive of today for everyone to keep.
you were watching everyone be themselves after what felt like an eternity. these people really changed your life, and you went through a lot with all of them, helping them find themselves and rebuild the trust that they lost.
10 years, in the grand scheme of things doesn't seem much. but looking back, a lot has changed.
and yet, you can't help but feel like these people had stayed the same.
or maybe they did change. in a way that made them return to their genuine selves again.
you really can't trade something that priceless for anything else.
and you hoped that whatever happens, RFA still remains.
for 20… 30 years… and more.
even if you're all old, and eventually won't be complete anymore.
Happy 10th anniversary to Mystic Messenger! I sketched my three babes quickly for the occasion, but I hope to properly render these sketches when I find time.
Actually, you are enough. Even if you don’t work. Or study. Or go out. Or have friends. Or have family. You’re enough because you exist and your existence is enough to be enough because you are not a product. You are not a sum of output. You are not a task to complete. But because you are something the universe wanted and put here even if you’ll never understand why. Somewhere in the cosmos your existence makes a difference, even if it’s not the way others existences do.
Hello again! I was wondering if you could please write the poets reaction to being pushed into a pool? (Idk I thought it was funny lolz) Thank you so much!
Thank you for the request! I will say this is post is going to be the one that took me the longest to come up with only because there are a lot of variables. Such as, Which poet is pushing the other poet into the pool, is it a stranger at a huge party, is it a poet at a huge party or just a private togehter.
I've come to unless stated otherwise, it is Charlie who pushes them in and its a private get together. (The name in parenthesis is who pushes them in)
Todd
Definitely flails around in the pool for a few seconds before finding his footing.
Can laugh at it a little, especially if it's more planned out/a chase would have fun with it. Yelling at Charlie to stop it until he finally gets in the water.
If he doesn't expect it his mood shifts for the rest of the day, it's obvious as he gets out of the pool and basically hides inside for the rest of the day. Everyone does apologize and it makes him feel a bit better.
Neil
Instantly pops up out of the water with a shocked look on his face. Todd and Charlie chuckle the most.
The war is on for him, he chases after Charlie until Charlie is also pushed into the pool.
Once they are both in the water it leads to a water fight, splashing each other and accidently splashing the others leading to a free for all.
Charlie (Knox)
Get lulled into a false sense of security and gets pushed in when he least expects it.
Will definitely laugh and joke about how good the others got him and chuckle, but is fully planning revenege.
Asks for Knox's arm to help pull him out of the pool, instead pulls Knox in as well.
Cameron
Gets pushed in and instantly starts bickering with Charlie. Gets out to argue more face to face and gets pusehd in again.
After the second one, he's hellbent on getting revenge, they race around outside and somehow, Cameron picks up Charlie and tosses him in the pool.
Steals Charlie's towel as well to dry off a bit, before moving to a chair in the sun to sun dry.
Meeks (Pitts)
Similarly to Charlie get lulled into a false sense of security, Pitts takes his glasses off saying how they might get wet, and then Meeks realizes what Pitts means as he gets pushed into the pool.
Pouty as he gets out, has to be helped out because of his horrible eyesight, rejects any help from Pitts.
Pitts offers that Meeks can push him into the water if he wants, but Meeks says he isn't that cruel. He does forgive Pitts eventually just really drags it out.
Pitts
Gets pushed in and is more mildly annoyed than anything. Had random stuff in his pockets that got wet, like ketchup packets and 5 quarters.
He struggles to get out of the pool a little, trying to pull himself up form the side, instead of using a ladder or stair. The pools not that deep it's just that he can't fully bring his legs to the pool edge.
Hyper vigilante the rest of the day, never gets too closed to the pool or Charlie.
Knox
Gets pushed in and is over dramatically betrayed. Refuses to get out of the pool for a little.
When he finally gets out, he attempts to push Charlie in and just falls in himself. Everyone laughs at him, he laughs at himself after a minute or two straight of the others losing it.
Finally gets his revenge and pushes Charlie back in the pool, though he still somehow ends up falling in the pool.
Again thank you for the request. If you have a request please tell me and I'll get it done here soon.
