Quick starter for @dead-or-lie | Gundham Tanaka

With Gundham being their partner and Amai's utter trust in him and his ability to care for animals, especially ones in a delicate state like pregnancy, they didn't see a reason to get their beloved rabbits, Castella and Chiffon, fixed. Besides, they knew that Gundham might be interested in borrowing them for his cause, but they still had to keep an eye on the two. Rabbits had a reputation for a reason, something Amai noticed when they were playing with the duo.

They pause a moment as they check Chiffon's stomach, frowning a little as they examine her before their eyes light up in realization. Picking her up and holding her to their chest, they quickly go over to their partner.

"Gacchan... Amai thinks Chiffon is pregnant... help, please?"

[dead-or-lie]

Gundham was extremely proud of his ability with animals and he made sure to boast about it whenever possible. It was typical for him and he had the skills to back it up. He expecially let them know when they got their bunnies along with advice to care for them. Expecially with their..reputation.

It’s exactly why when the other told him their suspicions he wasn’t surprised in the least. Rather he reaches out to the bunny and checks her stomach as carefully as possible before nodding.

“Hm, it appears you are correct. Chiffon appears to be carrying progeny! No matter..we shall work to make her lair as comfortable as possible along with getting her the proper food and bedding to make this an easy and comfortable process for her.”

Happy Birthday Kaede!

“Oh Tsumugi! I’m so happy you remembered..that makes..me really happy! Maybe it’s silly..but..thank you!”

[dead-or-lie]

"Hey, Kae? I know we've been hanging out for a while, and... well, I just wanted to let you know that I... well, I really like you, and... well, I was wondering if... well, you wanted to be my girlfriend?"

(For Kaede)

“Hey, Rock you look worried..what’s up-“ Kaede stops talking to look at the other with concern. However as the other goes on with his confession her face turns completely red not expecting it. “I..I..really wish I was prepared for this..I-i..really like you too. I would love to be your girlfriend..”

@dead-or-lie dress up date? Yes please.

It was hardly a secret that Amai and Gundham differed greatly when it came to styles. The two of them were on completely opposite spectrums of fashion, but over time, Amai has grown to deeply appreciate his style, especially with how often they stole his clothes.... which they were doing right now as they rested against him on the couch.

"Hm... you know...." Looking up at him, they smile brightly. "Amai aaaalways steals from Gacchan, but... what if Amai had Amai's own piece of Gacchan's style. That'd be fun, right?"

They hoped it would at least be cute, but it was likely going to be to Gundham given his usual reactions to seeing them in his clothes, even after all this time, was to be flustered. "Hehe, do you mind? It might be fun to dress me up, and in return... Amai can pick out something for Gacchan, too!"

[dead-or-lie]

Just by looking at them both side by side, it was obvious just how much their styles differed. It was something striking about them and this was something Gundham was proud off. While the others style wasn’t his thing as it was the opposite of the look he had as a dark lord! However he could definitely appreciate it..what he could also appreciate was the other in his own..which showed right now.

“Hm? What is it?” He turns to them curious about that large smile they love to see so much. Though he thinks at the question. “Hm? Fascinating idea! It shall make our appearance side by side all the more powerful and being fears into the hearts of our enemies!” He laughs.

He couldn’t deny that the idea of dressing up together sounded fun..even if he couldn’t imagine himself to well in the others sort of look. “Very well..I accept these terms!”

[dead-or-lie]

A conflict between this group should have been expected expecially after that..even then it still managed to surprise them hearing Kazuichi lash out like that..well at least surprised Nekomaru and Kazuichi as Izuru just watched them with a blank stare at usual.

It didn’t mean they didn’t share such frustrations! The others animals did appear to get in the way after all..and with how stubborn like Fuyuhiko was he was fully convinced they could have won even if he didn’t have Peko around to fight for him.

When the former ult mechanic did jump on Gundham to strangle him, at first Fuyuhiko would huff thinking how this was a proper reaction to someone ruining plans like this, even if it would be ruined from the get go. It was only have a few moments he would step in to hold Kazuichi back.

Nekomaru meanwhile also went to grab Kazuichi, however he was much more relaxed than Fuyuhiko was as he simply laughed. “I admire your spirit, Kazuichi! But save it! Killing him would be a waste of your remaining energy!!”

Nekomaru’s grip on Kazuichi tightens afterward. “Besides. Killing him out right would prevent him from feeling further despair! A waste right!? Right!!”

Fuyuhiko just grumbles. “Trust me id love to see this fucker punished for ruining fucking everything! But killing him instead of actual future foundation members is a fucking waste!”

At the arguing, Izuru just observes mostly staying silent, ignoring any weak urge to stop any of them from being injured. It was so weak that that feeling was barely there so it was roughly ignored to speak logically. “Even if those animals didn’t arrive..the battle would have ended the same way. Either way..a completely boring outcome that didn’t amount to anything.”

[despairs-memorial]

It was inevitable with how close they were before. If there was no conflict between them, it would likely end badly with Sonia and Peko accusing the lot of them of falling to hope somehow or another. Though, the display now was more than enough proof that they were fully invested in their hellish destinies, or at least Gundham say it as such. As he forced himself up, the serpent appeared and coiled around his body, hissing at his heart’s chosen companions as it glared at them all. 

Glaring at Izuru, or Hajime in his own eyes, Kazuichi spit on the ground next to Gundham’s feet, only barely missing the former ult breeder. “Whatever. It doesn’t matter if it was inevitable or not. He still got in my way… but I guess he can avoid punishment… this time.” 

Spending time locking Gundham up with what was left with the casualties that he hated the most along with his ‘mother’ was something Kazuichi normally enjoyed. The breeder was always left with the most exquisite despair brewing inside him that made him all the less human, all the less Gundham, and it tore his heart to shreds to see it. 

“Just… get him out of our sights, would ya? I-I mean, unless you got nothing to do. I actually have important work to do.” Sticking his tongue out at the breeder, Kazuichi started to head back to his workshop. WIth his talent with machines, he’s one of the most valuable members of ultimate despair. Sure, Gundham’s animals and Nekomaru and Fuyuhiko’s frontline assaults were great at taking out Future Foundation members or even getting them what they needed or even reconnaissance at times, but ultimately, the machines that he built, both for the killing game and just the mass spreading of despair were a much higher priority than anything the others could do. 

“...hmph, if that is all, I shall retreat to my lair… my army requires rest.” Deep voice even scratchier after nearly getting strangled, Gundham didn’t even ask for medical attention. Though the invitation from both men was clear, any of their lovers could follow, either to aid them or to continue the punishment that Gundham was enduring at Kazuichi’s hands. It hardly mattered to either of them. Either way, they would have to plan again once their arsenals were back to peak condition… or at least the best condition they could get them in with Future Foundation closing in on them. 

[dead-or-lie]

If such an assumption was brought up to them in that case, no doubt all of them or at least most would argue against it. Though with the conflict surrounding them, that was not the case and likely wouldn’t be. Two out of three didn’t like fighting after all..but it brought them despair to do so so it was more than welcomed here.

No matter who the other saw him as, he wouldn’t argue. A waste of time is all it would be as ‘Hajime’ was long erased by now. For now he simply watches almost wanting to roll his eyes at this childish display..

Naturally, none had any problem locking Gundham up to be surrounded by said casualties with Nekomaru even helping do so when. Despite Gundham’s old speeches..all of them knew how kind hearted the other could be before..which made watching him become less human hurt in such a good way.

Fuyuhiko almost immigrated redirects his anger to Kazuichi after hearing him. “Oi! You saying our work isn’t fucking important!? I outta rip out your fucking organs for saying that, fucking grease monkey!” He huffs as Nekomaru at least tries to stay calm. “Kazuichi! Showing such disrespect is unnecessary as your machines would be useless with noone powerful to use them!! Such work is all important for pursuits of despair!! Now keep working hard and no breaks!!” Even in despair, he was still meant to encourage his ‘teammates’ in despair after all.

At Gundham’s words, Fuyuhiko just huffs still bothered and upset at him and Kazuichi as he rushes to go do some strength training to prove he still is just as strong even when his ‘tool’ wasn’t around currently. Nekomaru meanwhile plans on checking on all of them to make sure they were properly doing what they should be.

The only one who seemed somewhat opened to watching without butting in was Izuru who just watches the three with a bored expression just sticking with observation.

[despairs-memorial]

@dead-or-lie remnant time, remnant time! :D

"You fucking idiot!!! Are you trying to make yourself even more useless?!"

Kazuichi's frustrated scream could be heard throughout the hideout as he confronted the breeder. It had been a messy fight against Future Foundation, a fight that would have been easier if someone's animals didn't get. in. his. way... or at least that's how Kazuichi saw it. In reality, it would have ended the same way regardless. The tactical retreat didn't suit Gundham's sensibilities either, but it was a necessity at the moment.

However, that didn't meant that Gundham was going to defend himself against the accusations. Silent as he was the moment that he started their wicked deeds, he doesn't even attempt to fight back, the serpent Jormungandr not around to protect him, as Kazuichi's hands wrap around his throat.

At first, he simply accepts it. Death was merely what awaited them at the end of this journey, and there was no point in fighting... though as the air left his body, he started to struggle in his bindings, more on instinct than on purpose as the air left his lungs. It was only until someone or many someones pulled the mechanic off of him that Gundham was able to take another gulp of air, leaving him unsure if he felt disappointment or not as Kazuichi struggled.

"Get your damn hands off of me! He deserves this! He's not even fighting it!! Just let me end the freak here before he gets us all caught!"

Though, there wasn't much use to it. The other three were much stronger than he was, at least when they were together. After awhile, he huffed in annoyance as he looked up at them.

"Come on, fucker! Say something! I know you wanted me to kill ya, too."

Though, even if that was true, not that Gundham would deny or admit it, he remained silent. Unless he absolutely had to say something, he didn't see a point in defending either himself or one of the men his heart still ached for.

Rock was busy putting up flyers for a music club he was starting. Anyone of any skill level was welcome to join the club.

(For Kaede)

Any mention of music immediately would get the pianist attention. So when she sees Rock she immediately waves and runs over seeing the sign.

“Oh! This looks fun! I would be happy to join!”

“Hm…do you think this is okay..? I know we don’t have a lot of games. Man..what if she gets bored of the games we do have and in return bore her?”

Hajime scattered around counting the few games they had on their one console making Izuru sigh watching him. “Hajime you’re overthinking again. Chiaki isn’t the type to get bored of video games so easily..we will be fine.” Before Hajime could argue with his younger sibling about their worries they hear the door bell with both of them going to open it.

"Ibukkkkkiii..." North pauses, handing her a rose and a case, blushing softly. "...Happy Valentines..i...know I'm late.." *he's flushed, his usual punker rock persona dropping for a bit.

The case is in the shape of a guitar.

“North!! Ibuki hasn’t seen you in foreverrrr! Huh?” She pauses for a moment once she notices the rose..she doesn’t say anything for a moment before gritting her teeth as her face goes a little pink.

“It’s guitar shape! Argh!! It’s so…it’s so…cute!! Ibuki can hardly handle it!!”

[beings-of-creation]

"I-i know...I'm sorry for being so absent...classes have been kicking my arse..." and his British slips out, now he's stammering. "U-uh...blimey...'

[dead-or-lie]

“Ibuki totally gets it! Argh she hates it! Ibuki just wants to have fun and-“ she stops talking once she hears the others British. She blinks slowly before grinning. “Hehe..blimey?”

[hopes-memorial]

@dead-or-lie I... I had to. I had to.

Going to get the mail, Amai tilts their head to the side as they look at a package addressed to the two of them. While they had heard about Kazuichi from Gundham quite a few times, they were curious as to what the mechanic would send the two of them.

Heading inside, they go to put it on the table before going to get a knife to cut open the box, being careful to just cut the tape and opening it up. Looking inside, they gasp a bit before getting out the two shirts. "Gacchan, Gacchan, lookie! We got new shirts! Let's try them on, quick!"

[dead-or-lie]

Gundham by this point had grown used to the usual items and papers that came to the mail. It’s to the point he rarely showed much emotion about it other than a simple acknowledgment. However, getting something from Kazuichi..makes him hesitantly curious.

Hearing Amai come in, he turns around ready for some more basic mail before growing curious about the box. His curiosity increases further by Amai’s excited reaction. “Hm? New armor? Very well..”

(Valentine's Day starter)

"Kaede! Happy ValentiAAAH!" Rock, despite usually hating this holiday, tried to at least give his crush some flowers for the holiday. Unfortunately, he wasn't looking at anything but her, and tripped over the drum kit and faceplanted onto the wooden floor (and crotched himself on one of the snares). "...tine's Day..." He said, pained, and tried to hold out the flowers to her, covered in sweat from enduring the sudden pain.

“Ah! Rock, Happy Valentin-ah!”

Kaede was the opposite for the most part..she really did enjoy the holiday despair not being able to celebrate it with anyone..though that wouldn’t stop her from giving her own crush some chocolates! That..was the plan until she saw the other fall as she rushes towards him ignoring the gifts for now far too concerned for their safety. “Are you alright!?”

[askrockandfriends-deactivated20]

Rock slowly rolled over to his back, shaking and grimacing in pain as he held out the flowers to her. "I'm... fine... happy... Val... entine's Day..."

And then another snare from the drum kit fell off and landed directly on his crotch. "Ow!"

[dead-or-lie]

Seeing the other in so much pain gets her even more worried. For now, she barely looks at the flowers taking them with one hand and giving the other her other hand. “Here let me help you up!”

The next sight immediately makes her cringe. “Ow! Are you okay!?”

[dead-or-lie]

“What do I need..? Oh nooothing really!!” He grins as he almost beams at the other seemingly intrigued by something about the other. Though with how aware he could be..he noticed the other being on guard which makes him internally smirk about people having to warn about him.

“It’s just…So your the ultimate treasure hunter Ive heard around! Thats super cool!! What have you found? Anything interesting? I totally hate boring things and that doesn’t sound that way. If you tell me..maybe I won’t send my evil organization after you!”

[hopes-memorial]

He smirks at that. Yeah, it was nice hearing that someone recognized him. Even if he had been on TV every so often due to some of his discoveries, it was nice to get recognized.

"Think so? Glad to see that someone can understand how exciting and cool the profession is." Of course, he didn't always think that. He had plenty of boring expeditions, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. "Wait, evil organization? Uh... I'd prolly tell you anyway. Nothing much to really hide." Especially not when he was famous for his treasure hunts.

[dead-or-lie]

The other was easily recognizable to him and even if he didn’t get to see him on television..he was curious enough to do his own research on people he even heard just the name of.

“Yeah of course!! To get treasure, you are bound to be traveling a ton and get into plenty of danger! Who wouldn’t be intrigued and want to experience that!?” At least it was enough to catch his interest. He hums curiously. “Oh nothing really? Being so dismissive can be pretty suspicious! But suppose your exploits are famous enough anyway!”
