// Hey, it's me J, I'm the owner of this blog and coincidentally, I'm Herm!

A few things to know about our favorite rat for starters

- Herm is working with the Head to be their man on the inside when it comes to backstreets stuff, and feeds them information, but since he has a fragment of a moral compass, he isn't gonna rat on his friends.

- Herm works a side job as a Tax Collector for the head as well and won't hesitate to add some meal bills to your taxes, and in his words "A Rats gotta Eat"

- Herm, for some reason, has knowledge that Mirror worlds exist. Might come up later, haven't planned it yet :3

// Hey, Herm and Orphé mod here, gonna be archiving this blog and @orpheofthehead soon due to a lack of motivation along with me running like 10 other blogs. It's been fun, and stay safe! Here are some blogs of mine you can check out if you miss my writing:

OKAY ! I aim to catch up on asks tomorrow.

Soooo!!

Mod post!!

First off, I'd like to announce that due to personal reasons I have disconnected from the rest of the main bus blogs. It's been fun, but my role as protector of my system comes first. I will not be discussing the matter with anyone.

Second off, we have a new mod! We got a second Sancho, and our system's host has thus decided to step back from this blog and instead let us handle it.

FINALLY !! We still don't like this url. If you can think of a good Don url that isn't taken, please let us know via asks or reblogs or comments!

I'm so happy to have gotten out of school, and our usual (non-existant) post schedule will resume soon.

No need to scream! I'm harmless.

"... What do you want with my daughter and her boyfriend?" Was asked, clearly concerned given the fact that this thing clearly wasn't a normal animal.

"And what do you mean by 'potential'?"

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"The potential to become a Magi, of course! That's what Heathcliff and Yuri were doing out here: fighting their first Witch!"

[contradictionclownfather]

"You got kids involved with fighting something dangerous?!" Was asked, clearly furious at that. "They could have gotten hurt! Or killed even!"

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"I'll have you know that those two are very capable. I don't see them dying anytime soon."

Kyubey flicks his tail idly.

"And, if you're so worried, you can always join them! Do you have a wish you'd like granted?"

[contradictionclownfather]

"... I would want to know everything that would come with making a contract first though. And I have a feeling you didn't tell them much because they didn't ask." Was said, huffing as he crossed his arms.

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"They know all the necessary details: they got their wish granted, they hunt Witches for Grief Seeds to purify their Soul Gems, and there is a chance they might die doing this. They're more capable than you're making them out to be."

[contradictionclownfather]

"Well one is my daughter and the other is her boyfriend..." Was said, huffing softly. "Where the hell do Witches even come from? What even are they?? How do 'Soul Gems' even work? What even is a Grief Seed?"

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"Witches are born from Despair, and they also feed on it. Think of them as natural byproducts of a vicious cycle. If too many show up in one place, suicides and accidents can skyrocket."

"Soul Gems are a person's potential solidified. They're a signifier that someone's a Magi, as well as the conduit for their powers. Grief Seeds - Witch Eggs - are used to purify Soul Gems that have used up a lot of magic."

[contradictionclownfather]

"... and what the hell is the cycle. And I want everything about this cycle."

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"Think of it like this: gloomy places, like hospitals or graveyards, attract despair. Witches get born from this energy. Witches, in order to feed on the despair, create accidents and suicides, which makes more despair, which makes more Witches. Without Magis to intervene, the world would become chaotic."

[contradictionclownfather]

"But why are witches even born in the first place? What even caused this cycle to begin??" Was asked in turn, trying to figure out what the hell even made this happen in the first place.

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"That's like asking why humans feel despair! It's a natural process. Witches have been an apex predator for a long time, and I'm simply introducing a competitor."

Another tail flick.

"Heathcliff and Yuri are making a difference. They're helping people. They're happy. Isn't that what any father would hope for? Their daughter being happy?"

[contradictionclownfather]

A moment, before speaking up.

"So what happens to nature when the predator is gone and allows the prey animals to flourish unchecked? It causes everything to be tilted to one side and broken."

Another moment as he remains quiet.

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

[Herm kicks down the door holding a double barrel shotgun before letting a slug off into the fucking cat thing's face]

"PISS OFF YA FUCKING GREMLIN"

[make-a-contract-pjm]

Another Kyubey comes to take the dead one's place.

"Rude."

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

[He racks the shotgun again, letting another round off]

[contradictionclownfather]

A moment, and finally Parker speaks.

"How many of them are there?"

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"More than you could ever count. I need the numbers in order to be all around the world at once."

Another?

[contradictionclownfather]

He jolts at the sight of it, looking at the cat-like being who appeared suddenly. The other two bodies of the being remained, bleeding onto the flooring.

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

[Herm just. Shoots again.]

"Y'know there's a story about the idea of eternity, but let's just say I'm one hell of a bird."

[Before the next one can even speak he fires another shot as he reloads]

[make-a-contract-pjm]

"You!"

BANG.

"Are!"

BANG.

"Wasting!"

BANG.

"Resources!"

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

"I"

BANG

"Don't"

BANG

"Give A"

BANG

"FUCK"

BANG

....Anons, do you think that Daphne is alive in this universe? Like, I'm from the main world, so I assume in this world I'm dead and she is....

@lcbyuri are

Are you guys going to the ring soon

[longingforhertoreturn]

Alright.. I am about enough of this... I require an answer. I have been monitoring the cookie jar. But I still found nothing... I suppose it is best to interrogate myself... Now... confess! Who has been taking the cookie jar and ate every single one of those cookies? Those cookies are meant to be shared, yet someone selfishly took them all for themselves. There are times when I did not get one myself! So confess! I will not be angry... I promise.

[longingforhertoreturn]

Yes, Lady Yuri? Is there something you would like to say?

[lcbyuri]

ouhhhhhhhhhgggg... sorry, herm, but i'm trying to be more honest to the people around me. that, and you should have asked!!!! >_<

@hermthebackstreetsrat

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

I can't believe you would rat me out like this.... I thought you were my daughter ;-;

[longingforhertoreturn]

Ah? Have you been the one to steal my cookies? I do not recall ever meeting you. Greetings. I am Penelope, a coworker of Lady Yuri's. I do wonder how you have managed to sneak in and out without me noticing. Quite the feat you have there.

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

Ehe, Im one of Yuri's dads, but as to how I snuck in, it's a trade secret you learn when you have to live off of scraps and stealing Ricardo's Pastries every now and then

[longingforhertoreturn]

I see... so that's how it is... well... Sir Herm... I do not like thieves who steal. Especially not from my kitchen. Those cookies were not for you. If you want any, you could have simply adked. Now... what shall I do with you?

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

Dunno but if you're considering combat I'd rather avoid it. My back is fuckin killing me and popping EGO is one hell of a migraine....

[longingforhertoreturn]

Well... then what do you say making new batches? For every cookie you stole and ate. Refusal might just end up in combat...

[hermthebackstreetsrat]

Aight sure, but Yuri has to come along since she ratted me out...

[longingforhertoreturn]

Alright.. I am about enough of this... I require an answer. I have been monitoring the cookie jar. But I still found nothing... I suppose it is best to interrogate myself... Now... confess!
