you smile just like an angel.

let us speak of the terrible beauty of becoming ourselves.

This is an independent roleplaying blog for Yoshiya “Joshua” Kiryu of The World Ends With You. This blog is not spoiler free. The interactions / relationships on this blog also will not be written in any chronological order, but I do tend to follow small (flexible) subplots which will - at times - be developed chronologically.

extremepath: is there a dog nearby or is this eyeball fucking barking at me.

[extremepath]

what kind of tragedy are you?

self-inflicted.

you were given the choice to live, a thousand times over, and yet you never choose it. not intentionally, oh no, you didn’t know it was a grave you were digging. but with every turn, you were twisting the knife deeper. every decision doomed you more. had it been anyone else, they would have made it. but you? you are so perfectly you, there was no escaping it. the true tragedy of it all, is how preventable it was.

MEME | ACCEPTING.

"Feeling a little paranoid?" The question comes with a giggle that dies quickly, but Joshua doesn't fall silent, a low hum behind his lips follows this as he reaches up to rub at his chin thoughtfully. "How do I put this... It looks to me like everyone is just having a hard time finding their balance." He waves his hand once but not to gesture to anything in particular, "Shibuya has been dysfunctional for a long time. It's gotta have time to heal." If it ever gets that chance. Joshua stifles a sigh at this thought.

He doesn't say it, but the reality of it is that things may not settle down just yet. Joshua can't let that topic linger, though, he doesn't want too many questions that he'll never intend to answer. "Or are you talking about your friends? They seemed fine to me, previous circumstances aside."

[greetings-sheeple]

@extremepath in response to [x]

“Yes, they’re quite pleasant.” Shiba always had a soft spot for flowers. Soft, delicate things that were cultivated for their beauty. He’s always been drawn to them, even before his Cantus had become known to him. He likes them even now after his Cantus had been shattered by power unfit for a Reaper.

“I will, but I’d like to look at them a bit longer. I’m feeling a bit off, so I think the fresh air would do me well. You don’t need to wait on my account.”

And with that said, Shiba looks back at the flowers again. He hadn’t noticed before, but they’re… irises. His heart aches as it hits him hard.

Ayano…

[extremepath]

"Ahh..." Joshua doesn't move after receiving this rejection, he just stands there and watches Shiba yet again, his thoughts halted by how quickly Shiba returned to looking at the flowers. The mood shifts to something somber.

Well, nothing he'll have to say will do anything to help, surely... so Joshua clicks his tongue once and smiles instead, playful but not exactly antagonistic, "Suit yourself~ I suppose we do have a pretty nice breeze today."

But Joshua doesn't intend to actually leave him alone. What if the power still etched within Shiba has an exaggerated effect on the noise? That would be bothersome, and it's a question he doesn't have an answer to yet... No, he needs to keep his attention.

Into WildKat he goes, ordering a drink for himself and for their company outside, striking a conversation that will never be heard by anyone else but the cat at the counter and the Composer. Not long after, Joshua is making his way back to Shiba, two to-go cups in his hands, one of which he's holding out to him.

"Miyakaze... I hate to interrupt your moment, but I got you a little something. Honestly, I haven't memorized what you like, so try not to be too disappointed."

[extremepath]

Shiba stands near a flower bed by WildKat… staring off a bit absently. Several normal butterflies flutter about him, drawing his attention to the man approaching. He’s looking past him for a moment, as if he’s suddenly unsure of where he is.

The moment passes, then he smiles.

“Ah, you again. Back for your usual, I take it?”

"But of course."

As he'd approached WildKat, Joshua watched Shiba with a careful eye, taking in his body language, the feeling around him, how their gaze didn't quite connect when Shiba finally acknowledged him. The after effects of Kubo's influence were still clinging to Shiba like some kind of parasite. It's irritating to witness.

"Pretty, aren't they? The butterflies spend a lot of time with these flowers." He'd grown so used to this little assortment of colors that it blended into the background until this moment. As they settle into the forefront of his mind, he can't help but think about how even in something as simple as this, Hanekoma's artistry really shined.

"You're going in, right? It would be tragic if I just missed you, and honestly... you look like you could use another cup of Mr. H's finest."

[extremepath]

❝   You are good enough. You will always be more than good enough.   ❞

MEME | ACCEPTING.

" -- Hah. I can't hide anything from you, can I?" The playful smirk which rests on his lips even now lacks a kind of energy to it, as though he can't resist giving further proof to his own words. Joshua sighs in surrender to these things, his expression quiets into a somber but calm smile, and he loses his fingers into his curl like he always does.

For a long moment he doesn't say anything to Hanekoma, he's sat there fully lost in his mind, elbow rested upon the table and coffee getting cold, as he watches the world pass by beyond the café door.

The walls of this building have housed many of these heavy thoughts. WildKat was always the place to go when Joshua needed the silence, yet didn't really want to be alone. To be in the room with someone who understood that without him ever having to say anything was one of the greatest comforts of all.

"After everything, to see Shibuya so quiet again... it's almost unsettling, isn't it? Do you get that feeling, too?" Joshua turns his eyes to Hanekoma, not moving his own body much to look at him. "Like you're just waiting for the next bad thing to come around?"

[extremepath]

❝ Yeah, I know myself pretty well with the help of social media posts and personality quiz results. ❞

MEME | ACCEPTING.

Try as he might - which is not at all, really - Joshua's voice first escapes him in a brief, quiet snicker. He covers his lips with his forefinger and thumb as though he's sincerely made an effort to stifle it, but never doubt that he's just making a show of it.

"Ohh, of course! The old reliables." Joshua's hand comes to his shirt collar, which he toys with idly as he speaks, "I can't even begin to imagine what you got on those quizzes." Does Hazuki even possess enough of a personality for a quiz to target? Sometimes it's hard to tell, just as he can't tell if they're joking or not right now. "I'm so intrigued, please tell me you saved the results."

however!! if i Do bring back joshu, i want to make some changes to him to freshen things up as im now in a completely different mindset from before, so i can't really go back to what i had so easily when the emotions just aren't there. it's gonna be a bumpy road portrayal-wise as i sort things out 😖 but i look forward to writing again if i manage to pull myself together!! i missed everyone!!

[extremepath]

"Hmmm."

His pointer finger is pressed against his lips thoughtfully as he carefully examines his counterpart's face— and as if this is at all necessary, reaches out to take his chin in his other hand and coax him to turn his head slightly to one side.

"Love the look, but don't you think the eyes could be a little more dramatic?" His smile widens, and he pulls his hand back— in an instant, he has an eyeliner pen held between his thumb and forefinger and a playful smile on his face. "May I?"

Although Kiyru isn’t the most fond of uninvited contact, it would seem he’s always ready to make an exception for his counterparts, for he is calmly surrendering himself to the hold that Joshua takes on his chin and allowing his head to be tilted enough for a good view to be achieved.

A breath of a chuckle escapes him at the question. Considering how this Joshua adorns himself, there’s nothing shocking about it. He’s extravagant, yet still homely.

Kiryu’s lips curve to shape a smile in return, kittenish and welcoming. If you were to pay attention, you’d see a spark of excitement in his eyes. If there’s anything he loves, it’s dress up, no matter if it’s him doing the dressing up for another or him being dressed up. “I tend to prefer a bit of subtlety, adding any more felt cluttered.” He folds his arms loosely, “... But I’m curious to see what you can do. You’re free to play with it.”
