Okay, but like, unknowingly scary duo Usagi and Arisu.
Because yes, we know they are pure angels, but that’s the whole point! *We* know they are pure innocent babies.
Imagine you’re a beach member, and you find out this couple actually managed to track down the beach. They arrive with a new card nonetheless, a fucking seven of hearts! The girl immediately catches the militants’ attention, but doesn’t even cower at them, and the guy actually stands up to Niragi, who very clearly has a gun.
Then the guy catches Ann’s attention, the girl survives her first game easily, and they both start talking to Chishiya, Kuina and the executive members. Not only that but they just lurk around. They don’t drink, or party, or even talk much, they are always just watching everyone.
Then you hear that the guy actually tried to betray the beach and steal the cards, and somehow still hasn’t died, and Niragi shows up with a bleeding tongue and one of his lackeys whispers about how the girl was the one to do it.
THEN, the whole 10 of hearts game happens, and this girl runs around fighting militants, dragging a small group with her, somehow managing to keep them all alive, finds her friend who somehow survived the beach’s third rule and gets them back to the main lobby. Then the guy proceeds to scarily psychoanalize Aguni, unburying some stuff that no one suspected, gets the shit beaten out of him and still gets up without a yelp, and then figures out and clears the entire game saving everyone’s asses.
The beach is burning down, the girl has squared up and looks ready to kill the remaining militants and the guy has to physically stop her from committing murder. He doesn’t even looks scared or worried. He just looks done.
I’D BE TERRIFIED OF THEM!
And like, imagine if the beach had lasted a bit longer.
We have “can climb better than Spider-Man and could probably throw hands” Usagi and her platonic soulmate “can and will psychoanalize you and be right and can figure out a puzzle better than anyone” Arisu.
One day, Usagi, who’s like on the third floor, comes across Ann and is like “Where’s Arisu?” With that blank expression of hers, and Ann tells her she’s seen him by the pool, so she goes “ok bet” and jumps out a fucking window.
Or the time last boss attempts to threaten her with his sword and she, without even really thinking about it, grabs the closest beer bottle, smashes it and squares up. (In her mind she’s like wtf did I just do? But last boss doesn’t know this, he just backs down.”)
And Arisu, who one day is stuck listening to Niragi yip and bark at Chishiya, and he just says, with the most innocent puppy dog eyes “Oh wow, they must have really hurt you when you were smaller huh?” Not really realizing how much of an impact it has, and Niragi just stutters and trembles for a while and even Chishiya goes “ Yo Arisu, wtf.”
Or when he walks into Ann’s lab, and she’s elbow deep in someone’s guts and former creepypasta fandom member Arisu doesn’t even blink, just goes “wow, they don’t smell bad when they’re not rotting.” Grabs some pads and walks away.
Or the one time they were playing truth or dare and Hatter gleefully asked Arisu about what kind of borderland game he’d make, he calmly explains about a hearts game called “Alien invasion”, to a very focused Usagi while everyone stares in horror. (Catch the manga reference)
I mean, they just have the “quiet ones” vibe and i needed to tell y’all that.
Stan unknowingly scary duo Arisu and Usagi for clear skin.
