we buried truth under playgrounds
They're dead because of you
༘⋆｡ stirring the pot starters
a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!
you weren't supposed to hear that.
don't look at me like i'm the only one lying.
want to tell them, or should i?
you think i don't know what you did?
i've hit people for less.
oh, i thought you already knew.
that's funny, you didn't say that last night.
say that again. i dare you.
you wanna talk about loyalty?
no offense, but if you're the last to know, that's on you.
go ahead - pretend like it wasn't your idea!
they deserve to know the truth.
you didn't hear this from me, but -
oh, so now you care?
don't flatter yourself. you were just convenient.
you crossed a line.
we had bets on how long it would last.
it's not even a secret anymore.
you don't get to cry about it now.
touch me again and see what happens.
say it again. louder this time.
you really thought nobody would find out?
don't act so innocent.
okay, but am i the villain for laughing?
tell me who else knows. right now.
this whole time, and you didn't say a word?
don't act brave now.
you're really gonna do this here?
it wasn't supposed to get this far!
you can't rewrite history.
oh, i'd never say it to their faces.
it was supposed to stay between us.
we're all thinking it, i just said it.
you're not as untouchable as you act.
do you even feel guilty?
they warned me about you.
go ahead, make it worse.
if you repeat this, i'll deny everything.
the next thing out of your mouth better be an apology.
you're about three seconds away from regretting this.
you keep pushing, and i'll push you back.
they're going to find out.
one more lie, and i walk.
they're lying to you.
you need to back off. now.
you're defending them? after everything?
don't try to hide it.
tell me, was i just a placeholder?
you really think sorry fixes this?
there's nothing left to say.
don't act like you're the one hurting.
i don't owe you any explanation.
whatever helps you sleep at night.
you should've seen this coming.
i hope it was worth it.
i told the truth. just not all of it.
you'll miss me before i miss you.
smile. you're ruining the mood.
i'd watch that tone if i were you.
it's not my fault you believed me.
you have such a talent for pretending you're innocent.
we both know this is over.
i never said i was a good person.
i thought you were different.

Shiba glances at the man he’s seated beside at the bar. He didn’t recognize him, and over the past three years, he’d become quite familiar with Shibuya’s Reapers. After spending three years with an ever shrinking group, Shiba had been confident he’d recognize pretty much anyone. So, he might be forgiven for assuming he was chatting with a random patron at the bar. But, the tone from his new “friend”, followed by the reference to a cost Shiba had paid told him what he needed to know. This man was involved in the UG, he knew what Shiba had done, and he sounded
How much time had passed since he started his work on Shinjuku? It was hard to keep track. Maybe Shibuya had another Game and they’d recruited more manpower? If so, would a neophyte even recognize Shiba? Did they have pictures of him in the Pad to throw darts at or something?
Maybe Shiba’s memory was worse than he thought? Shiba raised the glass and took another sip, resisting the urge to down the whole glass in one go. The liquid burned the whole way down.
“Hm… what indeed?” Whatever Kubo had told Shiba to secure his allegiance, Shiba would never remember. But he has a few ideas, at least. Ideas that he’s going to keep to himself. “Does it matter?”
Should he finish the drink and leave? No, his mind quickly rebels. He is Shiba Miyakaze and he is not going to let himself be run out of a bar like a cowering dog. His pride won’t allow it. Even the thought of it irritates him.
“At the end of the day, I brought hellfire to Shibuya. If I told you that I was under some sort of delusion where I thought I was saving the city, would that matter?”

"Well now, that's a strange weapon." Shiba stares at Riku's keyblade, watching him with a curious expression. As if he hadn't been in danger from those strange, dark creatures just now. His eyebrows are furrowed as he raises his gaze to meet Riku's eyes. "Well, either way, you have my thanks. Shinjuku has enough problems without these bizarre creatures added to the mix. They've recently started springing up everywhere." At least Shinjuku wasn't exactly populated anymore. He'd heard from Shibuya that these things were targeting civilians in the RG--though, Shinjuku currently had no RG to speak of. The two of them were talking in a desolate wasteland, buildings either floating through the air or in ruins on the ground. The sky was a blood red, glowing faintly in place of a proper sun. Shiba himself, for all the airs he had, looked haggard and exhausted.
When Riku had first opened his eyes after traversing from The Final World , he had expected it to be like the dreams he had so often over the last year - lying on the ground, fingertips brushing the ripples of a puddle of water, final drops of rain pattering against the leather of his jacket, having fallen from a deep, dark blue sky spotted with stormy clouds & moonlight.
What he was greeted with, however, was the complete opposite - gone were the cobblestone pathways filled with tall, looming skyscrapers, the eerie tranquility of a dark, starlit evening. Instead, what remained were stone-sand ruins of desolation, buildings chopped into fragments, the bottoms of which remained on the ground while the rest of them floated aloft, close or off in the distance. The sky screamed orange-red, and the first word to come to Riku's mind was Apocalypse.
It brought an entirely different feeling of unease, and he much preferred the darker, bluer tones of his dreams, actually.
Either way, he traversed in whatever direction his feet lead him, constantly tugging on the Link that had brought him here in the first place - but it still remained slack, like he was tugging on a piece of string and the other end had no response; or, at the very least, the response was so far away that he could not feel it ripple in the space between them.
He couldn't say he was surprised to stumble upon Heartless, even here at the end of whatever this world was - but he was surprised to see a person, a smaller speck in the distance, toward which the creatures were slowly crawling.
Braveheart flashed in hand before Riku could even think about it, a 'Look out!' passing from his lips for the stranger's warning, before his keyblade struck true and took down one of the creatures in a puff of black smoke.
The rest of them went down about as easily, and it didn't take long - but their very presence left Riku feeling admittedly uneasy.
"Well now, that's a strange weapon."
Riku jumped from where he had instinctively begun examining their surroundings for more enemies, to the man as he spoke - he glanced down at Braveheart in his hand, where it seemed to gleem as if in response to his attention, and Riku was admittedly at a loss for words.
Did 'World Order' count if you were beyond your own reality?
"Well, either way, you have my thanks. Shinjuku has enough problems without these bizarre creatures added to the mix. They've recently started springing up everywhere."
Shinjuku - yes, somehow, the name did resonate with him - like a voice had been whispering it on the wind to him, fragmented and torn, through his wandering or through his dreams.
"Glad I could help,"
But, if this really was the city of his dreams----
"What happened here?"
He dared to ask, though it was a quiet whisper - like it was too harsh to ask it any louder,
"Did the--- did those creatures do this?"
Shiba had never seen anything like these creatures. They didn’t resemble Noise—at least, not visually—but they certainly acted like them. They had a similar mindless quality about their behavior. Beasts on the prowl driven by pure instinct. They would gather and swarm, but also crawl over each other like ants to get their prize.
They weren’t even all that hard to erase. The issue was that they were unending and everyone was beginning to tire from the effort of the seemingly eternal battle. Even a Reaper didn’t have eternal stamina.
So, really, he’s quite grateful to take this moment to breathe after the newcomer erased those things. Shiba keeps himself alert, his eyes darting around, waiting for them to return and swarm them once again, but blessedly, that didn’t happen.
Hm… perhaps there was a trick to it he didn’t understand?
“What happened here?”
Shiba hesitates, then returns his gaze to the young man as he asks a second question.
“Did the—did those creatures do this?”
Shiba almost laughs, his face lifting in a mirthless smile as he shakes his head. For a split second, he considers lying. He didn’t owe this stranger the truth of the situation. Then again, if this strange ran into his crew, he might ask them. And they would realize that Shiba was running.
“No, I’m afraid those things weren’t the cause of the inferno that reduced Shinjuku to ash. One of the men living here sold out his home and his soul for power.”
Shiba shakes his head again, the smile vanishing from his face. That should suffice to be just enough of the truth.
“He left Shinjuku behind like this around three years ago.” Shiba says, gesturing to the grand view of Shinjuku’s apocalypse. “Now, everyone is trying to fix what that man extinguished.”
And to be honest, Shiba isn’t entirely sure that their recreated city will even be Shinjuku anymore. The Inversion has wiped the slate clean, all aspects of what made this district unique have been burned away. It may be true that Kaie saved data from the old Shinjuku, but he couldn’t have everything, Shiba thought.
Which brought him to another interesting question.
“How did you even get in here, anyway? Those outside of the Game shouldn’t even be able to remember this place, never mind step inside.” Shiba raises his hand to cup his chin. “Just who are you?”
He was their safe space, almost always had been - hell even when he'd been.. different... Kaie found themselves wanting to go to him for comfort from nightmares. This was his safe space. Right here, right in Shiba's arms.
And now that they have it back? It's where they'll always go when the nightmares come bubbling back up.
His words get a small nod from the reaper as they settle further against him. The one hand on their back wasn't enough now, they fish around for Shiba's other hand, a soft pout plastered on.
"Mmm.. kay.. sleep....."
Shiba exhales slowly through his nose and settles back again, letting out a small yawn of his own. Kaie had always been a bit clingy with others, it was something that Shiba had long since gotten used to.
He chuckles quietly when Kaie pats at his other hand. He raises it and embraces Kaie fully, letting his head sink fully into the pillows.
It doesn't take long before he falls asleep.
☠ SHINJUKU SURVIVOR ☠
jeez this season of shibuya survivor was a trip. why did they just allow the shinjuku judges to hijack the game show like that smh?? uzuki should’ve been conductor, it would’ve made the whole thing smoother smh. rated 0/10 on imdb.
He glares at him from the corner of his eye "The barrier doesn't prove you're real, it just proves someone with the power to make them is fucking with me"
Remembering his third week, he experimentally punches the barrier and is rewarded with his hand hurting a bit and nothing more. He turns around to try the other one but stops to stare at Shiba, raising an eyebrow
"My hallucinations are smoking now? What does that mean for my health?"
Shiba doesn't reply at first. Frankly, he doesn't know what to say anymore. He takes another long drag of the cigarette before pulling it from his lips and blowing a smoke ring toward Neku. It dissipates before it reaches him.
"So, you admit that someone put the barrier up, but you don't think it was me? Even though I'm the only one you've seen so far? Even though you saw me do it?"
He scoffs and takes another huff of the cigarette. "That leaves me feeling awfully cold."

hi friends!! basically, i watched the teaser trailer for season 2 of shadow and bone, got excited, began to reread the soc duology, and then these happened! or rather, i found an ancient unpublished fic i wrote after the first time i read the duology, and decided to make that a problem for everyone else! i hope you all enjoy these, you don’t need to have seen the show nor read the books, i actually think many of these are fairly fandomless! i just wanted to explain my inspiration! DON’T ADD TO THIS LIST! i’ll make more lists like this one! ily all, bon appetit, go forth and write or read or nap or watch tv or something!
“ my goodness, you’re not nearly as stupid as you look! ”
“ you have all the answers right in front of you. you just need to look at it differently. ”
“ don’t presume that you know me just because you’ve heard a few rumors and read a few articles. ”
“ there’s certainly more to you than meets the eye, isn’t there? ”
“ i urge you to remember exactly who it is you’re talking to. because while others might appreciate your tone, i assure you, i do not. ”
“ i’m concerned that you mightn’t understand what discreet means. because the path of chaos you’ve just created is exactly the opposite of discreet. ”
“ you owe me a favour. i’m here to collect. ”
“ i thought it was a good time to pay you a visit. it’s been so long, after all; and we have so much to catch up on. ”
“ you are not your father/mother/parent’s child. not by anything other than blood, and that’s not even on the spectrum of importance. ”
“ i was wrong about you. ”
“ you know, i was warned not to get involved with you. people insisted it was a fool’s decision. but i held out hope that you’d prove them wrong. now’s your chance. ”
“ i’m not the sort of person to fuss over hurt feelings. you’re either of value to me, or you’re worthless. so prove to me that you’re not the latter. ”
“ you honestly think i don’t know where you go each night? i’m not blind nor an idiot. i just trust your ability to return home unharmed. ”
“ have you told anyone else about this? ”
“ there are no children anymore. only survivors. childhood and innocence are luxuries afforded to the privileged. not us. ”
“ i offered you an opportunity once. to build a better world together. we both know how that turned out. and now, you come crawling back, begging for… what? mercy? forgiveness? ”
“ i’m with you. always. no matter what happens, i will be right by your side. do you understand? ”
“ we’re a team, aren’t we? teams stick together. even when the leader is being a prick. ”
“ …i was really worried about you, you know. you scared me earlier. and i’m not saying it to make you feel bad, it’s just… promise me you’ll tell me if things get bad again? ”
“ i can’t pretend to understand all this stuff you’ve got going on. but i do promise that i’ll be here to help you through it all. alright? ”
“ there’s a job that needs to be done before we get to work on the big task. that’s why i’m here. you’ll be helping me/us to complete both jobs. payment upon completion. ”
“ you and i aren’t as different as you want to believe. that must be why you’re so angry. because looking at me, all that i’ve done… it’s like looking in a mirror. isn’t it? ”
“ people are scared. they need a leader. and right now, like it or not, they’re looking to you. so go on. lead us. ”
“ you’ve come up with some really insane plans over the years, but this is just defying any amount of belief. ”
“ look. i don’t care if people underestimate me. i actually enjoy it. they see me as an idiot, they drop their guard, the end. but i need you to know that i’m not an idiot. okay? ”
“ people have died. we can’t let that go unpunished. ”
“ the world is changing. and if we don’t get ahead of it, then they’ll be the ones to decide what it changes into. ”
“ right! what’s the plan, then? and god help the lot of us if you don’t have one. ”
“ not all of us can afford the luxury of a conscience. ”
“ don’t make the deadly mistake of presuming my actions reflect weakness. too many have made that same presumption. and not a single one of them lived to tell the tale. ”
“ you’re scared. i can tell. the shaking, the look in your eye… you want to run. don’t. you’ll waste precious time and energy, and you’ll need it all if you want to live. ”
“ everything is gone. it’s all smoke, ruin, obliterated. is that our legacy now? our reputation? destruction, devastation, death? is that who we are? ”
“ we’ve fought against powerful enemies before, but this is beyond that. if we want to get out of this alive, we need to be smarter, stronger, better than we’ve ever been before. ”
“ don’t forget why we’re here. there’s far more at stake than our lives if this goes wrong. ”
“ you’re the only person here i trust. we need to stick together, watch each other’s backs. just because everything’s changed, doesn’t mean we have to, too. ”
“ i can’t think of anyone i’d rather be doing this crazy, ridiculous, nearly definitely lethal mission with. let’s go out with a bang, eh? ”
“ you people are completely insane. but you’re also insufferably good at this sort of thing. so let’s go save the world, shall we? ”
“ why are we fighting so hard to save the lives of people who hate us, anyway? ”
“ you’re the best there is at this sort of thing. i’d hate to see the one who got the better of you… ”
“ look at them all. going around, fussing over money, clothes, land… do they ever realize what’s going on around them? do they ever see the bigger picture as we do? ”
“ you’re clever. good. it’s nice to have a challenge. but you should know now, you’ll want to be a hell of a lot smarter than that if you want to go up against me. ”
“ you and i both know the risks. we both know what people like them are capable of. tell me it’s all okay, and i won’t question you. but if it isn’t… we need to be ready. ”
“ it’s lonely and vicious at the top. i can handle that. but you… you wouldn’t survive five minutes of this life. ”
“ you can’t survive in this world without growing a thicker skin, and erasing that naive belief that you can trust anyone you meet. least of all me. ”
“ if you’re knocking on my door, i can only imagine it means you’re here to collect. and by your demeanour, it’s one hell of a favor you’ll be asking, too. ”
“ i understand your anger. i’ve lived with that sort of rage for many years of my life. but you need to set it aside, understand? we need you calm if we want to get out of here. ”
“ oh, don’t get all sentimental. i saved your life because you’re worth more to me alive than dead. it doesn’t signify any degree of care or affection. ”
“ you have one hell of an inflated ego, you know that? we were told this job was impossible. that’s not a challenge. that’s a fact. it is not possible. even for you. ”
“ i’ve heard it all before. one more job. one more mission. one last heist. but there’s always more. it’s like some sort of obsession for you. searching for another thrill. ”
“ enough! this is it! don’t you see that?! we almost died! you almost got killed! if the saints are kind enough to save us today, it’s only so we can quit while we’re ahead! ”
