She was watching him laughing. Perhaps she should have been offended by it, but rather Nunnally appreciated this sudden change in their conversation. It finally let her move away from the heavy topic, and although the demon girl expected Haruto to finally reply to her question, it shouldn’t be triggering anymore; she assumed.

She was watching him laughing; with some bright sparks in her eyes, and her rose lips curling into a light smile. Haruto seemed relaxed. Perhaps even happy…

And, indeed, just as she had expected, he presented her with the explanation.

“Why shouldn’t I believe you’re over 3,000 years? I’ve known creature that were much older. Some are still perhaps walking in this world…or another.” – Nunnally was much younger; yes, she was already old – as for the human standards and compared to their lifespan – but otherwise, she was pretty young. For his standards.

“Well, then it seems that if I choose your path there is a long way in front of me.” – she shook her head and took two last sips that left her cup empty – “But at least seeing you like this…” – she didn’t explain what she had meant, but if asked, she’d probably explain, it was him being able to laugh so cheerfully. – “…it surely seems worth it.”

“Thank you Mr. Abe.” – she said standing up – “I…”

“I’ve learnt a lot. And although I cannot promise I will be strong enough to use your advice, I’ll try…” – her voice changed to almost non-audible whisper – “…make my life better.”

[falseapostle]

Haruto stood as well, ever the exceptional example of a traditional man, and he bowed his head to her to view her over the rim of his glasses. The mirth was still in his eyes, softened by the affection he felt towards her and the hope he had for her future. Struggle and heartache were key parts of being alive, and it was impossible to grow without suffering along the way. He knew that perhaps better than anyone. But he also believed whole-heartedly that she had more strength than she expected in herself, a soul more enduring that she was quite yet willing to admit. He saw her for the potential she kept inside her, and he couldn't help but muse that perhaps he was starting to see things through Hanekoma's eyes, just a little bit.

"You will do beautifully, my dear," he assured her, keeping eye contact as much as possible, to ensure her of his confidence in her. "That journey is not an easy one, but I have full confidence in your ability. And, of course, should you need anything further you know exactly where to find me. I will everything in my power to do to help you. Have a safe trip, darling."

He took her hand in his then and leaned down to kiss the top, a soft blessing for her travels. Both spiritually, emotionally, and physically as she grew into the person she was destined to be.

✥ @lollipopsandgunshots asked: ✥

✥ A mysterious letter arrives. No sender, no return address. The letter is even typed, no handwriting to indicate who may have sent it.

You should know that the former runaway angel is living her best life. Everyone that meets her leaves with a smile. She’s been good for everyone around her and for the city. And the Reaper couple are happy, taking care of themselves, each other, and the rest of the city around them.

Don’t forget the good in yourself. You brought them all together again.

Enclosed is a small business card for Izumi’s cafe, as proof that she’s doing well. ✥

♝~✺~♝

It was a wonder, anyway.

Old and weathered hands turned the paper this way and that, as if searching for some hidden meaning tucked somewhere between the lines of neatly typed text. No name, no place. Just a collection of information scattered across the surface that left him wanting. He would have believed it to be a tease if there was any string to follow, any hint at someone sitting behind their computer screen laughing as they typed it up. He could see Joshua doing something like that, but he knew Joshua would want to take credit for torturing him...

And there was no way in hell Joshua would ever acknowledge his growth.

Next down the line was Hanekoma, who would be far more likely to have something genuine to say. These words, taken genuinely, could easily be his. But then, that line of logic didn't quite make sense, either. Hanekoma wasn't afraid of him anymore, and he felt no shame. He'd contact him over the phone, if nothing else. Through a line over universes, or maybe he'd just show up in person one day, sitting on Haruto's couch like he owned the place. Like a cat lazing in the sun. He wouldn't just send a letter with no name and no address. He would have nothing to hide.

Haruto's eyes drifted up to the cityscape outside his window as he contemplated who else might have sent it. He didn't think it would have been Izumi. She shouldn't have knowledge or contact with any angels. She should be living a perfectly human life right now, just as the letter would suggest. He'd be concerned if she were the one that sent it along... As he scanned a sunkissed orange sky, the gears in his mind turned slowly and picked apart every detail. Then... it stopped altogether.

"Does it even really matter?" he asked aloud, finally turning away to drop the letter onto his counter and move to brew himself a cup of coffee. "It's good news. And it's news I've been wanting to hear so... I suppose I should be grateful."

Those same eyes drifted from their task, wandering along the smooth surface of his countertop until they landed on the business card. Proof of life, he'd assumed. Proof of a life well lived. But if he wanted to play into his old games, he could almost consider it an invitation. He wasn't allowed back there, and he couldn't leave the UG on his own while he was there anyway. Izumi wouldn't even be able to see him. But still... But still...

He pursed his lips as he drew in a breath and returned his attention back to his task, grumbling under his breath in the way he often did: "How in the hell am I gay and still fuck up with women this badly...?"

{Hello hello all! I have done something a little impulsive, but I hope this will be helpful in the long run, haha.}

{I literally just made it like less than an hour ago, but I now have a personal blog! I felt like it would be a good way for me to like, keep giving y'all life updates without having to spam my roleplay blogs every single time. And! It will mean that anyone that doesn't care about my IRL stuff can just not follow this blog or keep an eye on it and they'll be just peachy~ I hope to get it like, fixed up and stuff eventually, but I am not going to rush it. It's going to very very slow going.}

✥ Haruto and Sexuality ✥

{It's that time of the year to talk about the individual sexuality of muses, and so here is a post on Haruto's. Everything under a cut for nsfw and suggestive themes, ofc.}

✥ Haruto is demiromantic homosexual. He finds men alone to be attractive, and he doesn't find interest in women at all, but when romance becomes involved he struggles to make much of a connection. He'll easily give his body away if he feels like he can get somewhere with it, and he might even agree to a romantic relationship if there is some benefit to one or both parties in it, but he probably won't make a real romantic connection with someone right off the bat. Haruto only really begins feeling romantic attraction after spending a lot of time with and getting very close to a person. He's a little bit of the opposite of Hanekoma in this way.

✥ Being that he's far more open to engaging in relationships than Hanekoma is, and because Abe doesn't have the same sense of human age that Hanekoma does, Abe will generally be moderately easy to enter into a relationship with (as long as said potential partner is okay with not being romantically attached). Abe is good for another kind of slow burn in which he can make ties to other muses before actually falling in love with them, and that point has to be worked up to. Abe is also not opposed to polyarmorous relationships.

✥ That being said, no matter what kind of relationship he is in, Haruto is an incredibly dominant person, and he demands to be in a dominant position within the relationship. This carries both emotionally and sexually, too. Haruto will always insist on being in charge, and while he can easily handle a brat, he does not tolerate a partner trying to take dominance in the relationship. The only individuals that could make him submissive would be a god or purebred angel partner, as he would feel more submissive to beings that are spiritually higher in the hierarchy than he is. And again, this goes both for emotional and sexual aspects of the relationship.

✥ When he is in a relationship, even if he is not particularly romantically attached to his partner, Haruto is extremely possessive of his partner. Excepting a situation in which exclusivity is discussed and boundaries are set in place before hand, he will often choose to have his partner's full devotion. Similar to the situation in which he would punish Hanekoma for thinking of anyone in a romantic sense besides himself, Haruto will often insist he be the center of his partner's romantic attention, even if he himself is not romantically attracted to his partner (though in a normal relationship, punishment would not be on the table, he'd just be salty about it).

✥ It should be noted that Haruto doesn't find trans men to be as sexually attractive as amabs, but this is purely an aesthetic thing. Emotionally, Haruto has an equal possibility of forming a romantic or sexual relationship with a trans man as he does a cis man. This simply means that he finds masculine traits on a body more appealing than feminine traits.

✥ On that note, Haruto definitely also has a type. He likes sharp dressed men with chiseled, masculine features and a more academic vibe to them. He tends to like curly or wavy hair over straight hair, and he is attracted to darker hair colors over lighter hair colors, though brunettes really hit the sweet spot for his aesthetic attraction. Men with glasses and men who have a confident air about them are more up his alley, as well as quiet or reserved individuals over outgoing or bombastic individuals.

[fangedstories]

"No...it was a family of four with young kids. The father told the mother that if she didn't handle the 'brats' that he wouldn't buy her coffee. She turned around and said if HE didn't shut up, that she'd break their home brewer."

[falseapostle]

"Oh," Haruto rolled his eyes. "What a mess. Well, I'm going to make the assumption that one or both of them really rely on those things to help get through their day. When you want to threaten someone, you often threaten things that are important. Otherwise, what's the point? But let me tell you something, Neku. Never let anyone threaten things you care about like that. If someone tries to manipulate you by threatening you, don't allow it. Even from me, and I know I'm fairly bad about that particular toxic trait. Old habits die hard, and all that. I would like to believe I'm a bit more subtle about it, and I certainly don't care about threatening people who I don't care about... But I don't want to do that to you boys. Don't let me. Call me out on it. Understood?"

Might as well kill two birds with one stone on that one.

⚅— Update Time! —⚅

Alrighty, guys, so. In the background of me trying to work through my chores and find a good schedule again. I think this whole thing is gonna be a major work in progress. Because! I am trying to really hammer down on my mental health and create a life for myself that is routine, disciplined, and fulfilling! Which means overall I'm going to get a lot less time online, but! It might actually work out being more time by comparison because instead of getting up every two seconds to do something else I'll have like, one single hour in the day (or half hour? I haven't worked it out yet) where I do absolutely nothing else but computer stuff. Which means I won't get as much done as once as I usually do, but I'll at least definitely get something done because I won't sit down, write two words, and then just leave the computer for three consecutive hours afdaeka.

Generally, what I'm trying to do is: 🍓 Start a strict schedule that I follow no matter what 🍓 Include some time for art/creativity away from roleplay 🍓 Include some time to sit on the back porch and talk aloud to myself 🍓 Have at least one hour dedicated to chores 🍓 Have at least a half hour dedicated to journaling/spirituality/introspection 🍓 Start and keep an exercise routine 🍓 Stop social media/screens in general an hour before bed

That's a big ol' checklist and it's going to take a really long time to teach myself how to do all of that in a steady rhythm, but I'm already on my way with it and that's kind of part of where I've been since the last time I said, "I'm coming back this time! Promise!" XD I am coming back. But I don't think I'll ever be as active as I was before. And that's okay. :) I really am working on myself and making a much better life for myself, and I'm really proud of how far I'm coming. I thank everyone for their patience with me thus far and their patience with me going forward. I love writing with you guys and I love being here, and I won't abandon y'all for good, so don't worry. If you're totally cool with me taking 5ever to reply to your stuff, please let me know so I can prioritize folks who might be a little less okay with it, haha. I wanna make sure I can get to those who might get frustrated from the wait. I get it, waiting is hard! We'll get there eventually, y'all. I care deeply for everyone here and I hope you all have the absolute best day that you can!

[fangedstories]

"I understand, Father." The youth said, taking a seat so he could be with Haruto without disturbing his work.

"Do you think the Elders will complain? I did try to apeal to them as well. Most of the youth looked curious...so they might be ripe for your teaching. Perhaps seeing a younger face sparked some form of cord."

He lifted a hand to his chin thoughtfully.

"Speaking of cords... Father, I hear Shinjuku clearer every day. The song I heard tonight in this place was fuzzy, as if your Church blends the vibes better than elsewhere."

[falseapostle]

"That would be my doing," Haruto replied, only glancing up a moment to make brief eye contact. "I do keep certain influences here to better tune our congregation with the Composer and the UG. Took a page out of Sanae's book for that one. I'm sure you noticed already, but the iconography here is imprinted upon. The commands here are just in place to help those who view them open their minds to external suggestion. The artwork, statues and stained glass images are all made to prime our congregation for spiritual vulnerability. Now, that doesn't mean they'll listen, of course. It's just an imprint, after all. Some are more susceptible to it than others. But it does help. And as for the elderly, I wouldn't worry about them. I've been working on them for quite some time already. They are open to what you have to say because my teachings already ring true with them."

[falseapostle]

✥ @x-whiskeylullaby-x asked: ✥

✥ "Welcome back, master. You look well. Perhaps we should do something together since it's been a while." ✥

♝~✺~♝

"As a matter of fact, I was considering a date night, but before that I want a status report. On you, your family, everything going on here."

Haruto casually crossed the sitting area and took a seat, propping his ankle atop his other knee. As if he lived here. As if he owned the place. Haruto looked every bit like some business mogul stepping into his office to hear about the latest sales reports. But it was less a matter of asserting himself as master of the house and more of simply not allowing Gabriel time to be frustrated at the absence. Move on and act like nothing happened, he would be swept in keeping up with the conversation and forget all about it. Manipulation. Toxic. But Haruto was not beyond these things. He knew he was a monster, it was just a matter of how he used his abilities. In this case, allowing those feelings to fester or burst out would undoubtedly make things worse on Gabriel's son, so he intended to simply skip that step.

[fangedstories]

"I make no promises...but I'll try."

His head dipped dopwn,a nd for a minute, he was calm. But this didn't last as he began struggling again and screaming his defiance again.

[falseapostle]

Feeling after seeing the surge of energy that he had sufficiently put a fire back in Joker's belly, Haruto redoubled his efforts to sever Joker from the prison he had been locked in during all of this. He knew that there was very little point in freeing him if the drive wasn't there, but now that Joker was fighting again, Haruto was sure that he actually didn't need to do much at all to ensure the safety of the other's soul.

He stepped back after a moment to let Joker fall free, sharp eyes calculating the fall and the state of the other angel, "I trust that you're ready to get back on your feet, Joker?"

[rubiesintherough]

" That's fair, now that you mention it... people in your line of work tend to rustle a few unfortunate feathers. " Which, combined with the rest of his contemplative answer, would only make it more difficult for the necromancer to discover just who had done this. And she was determined to discover that answer... if just to sate her curiosity of what other, powerful witch had decided to set up shop in this city alongside her. She didn't like the idea of one being under her nose, unseen.

" There may be a spell I could try to find who carved this. It may be a long shot however... the items I would need to cast it might be harder to obtain here than where I came from. I could still try. " Her head tipped to the side, lips pursing thoughtfully, " Even if it fails, it would at least tell me what sort of magic was used... that could help to narrow down who they are and make it simpler to track them. ---- If you'd be interested in my further help with this, that is? "

[falseapostle]

Haruto propped his chin in his hand and gave her a contemplative gaze. He was sizing her up, in more ways than one. Stubborn and smart and a fair size powerful on her own, she would be a good ally to have. But she also had the eyes for sussing him out, so perhaps then again not. Whatever he did would be a gamble. He was sure she would understand, with some measure of suspicion, if he declined her offer. This wasn't her circus or her monkeys, so even though she held some vested interest in this, it wouldn't be difficult for her to simply walk away. If he took that route, he would not have to worry about fanning her already very close guesstimations about angels. She hadn't connected any dots here yet, but clearly she already knew more than she should.

That being said, Haruto had been completely blindsided by all of this, and that was beyond concerning. On a number of levels. He'd already sent out bits of himself, his noise form multiplying and splitting across the city to search for the source of this magic. And yet he hadn't immediately found them. He wasn't going to stand there and pretend he was the do-all-end-all to magic, but he knew damn well that if he wanted to find any amateur meddling with something they had no business doing so he would have without effort. The fact that he was having trouble meant that this person was someone that needed to be dealt with as quickly as possible. And loathed as he was to admit it, he wasn't near the caliber of angel as some of this neighbors, both based on the fact that his soul was still human, and on the fact that even as a human born angel, he was stunted. He had no business trying to wrangle anyone of substantial power on his own.

And he highly doubted that if he tried to go to Joshua or Apichisi now he would receive any aid. This wouldn't be trouble for them he was sure, but it also wasn't their problem to deal with and they weren't wont to invite trouble into their borders. No, he would be on his own with this. Perhaps it was time he got a spellcaster on his side. Someone who might be able to hold a candle to things he shouldn't be attempting to on his own... And as for his Composer... Well, if that angel wanted to do anything about inviting a necromancer of all things into his walls, he would just have to come down from the Higher Plane and do so, wouldn't he? Shinjuku was empty and Haruto abandoned. He had no choice.

Haruto drew in a deep breath and let it all out in a heavy sigh, "Oh, very well, then. I'll do what I can to aid you in your endeavors as well. If there's something you need, I should have sufficient funds to acquire it. And while we're trying to catch this particular rat, I can do what I can to support your visit here. I'm willing to do that much to make sure this nuisance doesn't make a den inside my city."

And perhaps if she proved useful enough he wouldn't mind sharing a few secrets with her after all. A powerful ally could be exactly what he needed to make sure he never had to rely on the charity of stronger angels to protect Shinjuku again.

✥ "The Pheonix is watching over all of us. Let his mercy drown us in his fires, and may he pour mercy onto all of our lives."

"Bit heavy-handed for a future youth leader," Haruto said absently, already having found a seat and begun pouring over his paperwork. "But then, it shows passion. You just have to remember that, despite our work, people don't actually enjoy being preached to. It's a lot easier if you can be subtle about it. Or I should say, it'll be easier to manipulate them if you lead with what they want to hear. Save hard truths for when they are vulnerable enough to accept such things. Religion is all about being able to give people something to hope for, to find comfort in. That's why fire and brimstone almost never works on the onset."
