The Aftermath || Kirsh x Cyborg!Olivia

@insanityxofxmuses

Olivia let out a small groan as she came to. At first, she had no idea what was going on, she was so groggy and tired, her mouth was dry, her head hurt. Then, her body ached. She tried to swallow, but she couldn't get any saliva going.

Where was she?

Slowly, she opened her eyes, blurry at first but she realized she was in one of the medical rooms. Right, she thought as it all began flooding back into her mind. So much had happened... but she could definitely remember trying to fend off Morrow.

"Olivia?" she heard her mother say in a breathy tone, "Oh, Darling how are you feeling?"

Olivia peered up as her mother's gentle face came into view and she smiled, "Hey Momma," she croaked before the memories of everything else hit her and she tried to sit up, "Momma, where are the children? Where's Ji-woo? Is Kirsh alright?"

Dame Sylvia gently shushed her and made her lay back down, she glanced over to someone before looking back to Olivia, "Everything is alright, sweet girl, the children are in their rooms and Kirsh is right here."

[insanityxofxmuses]

Kirsh stepped forward and gave Olivia his signature quirked smile as he got closer to the bed. "I have her now, Dame Sylvia." He said, "You might want to advise your other daughter to rest. She has been hard at work repairing and helping everyone."

[oliviajanesylvia]

Olivia looked over and smiled widely as she saw Kirsh, upright and standing compared to the broken mess she had found him as, "There you are," she said weakly as she reached out, gently taking hold of the cuff of his sleeve and looked to her mother, "Is Ji-woo alright?"

"Ji-Woo is fine, Darling," Dame smiled getnyl at her, carefully brushing some hair out of Olivia's face, "It's... well, as Kirsh said, she's been working very hard getting everyone back together, so I need to go convince her to get some sleep."

Olivia swallowed, Ji-woo was always like that, hard working no matter what, "Alright, Mum, tell her I said I want her to get some sleep," she said with a small smile.

Dame smiled before gently kissing Olivia's forehead, "I'll be back..."

Olivia watched her mother leave the room before looking back to Kirsh before slowly sitting up, "How are you feeling? Last I saw, Morrow had hurt you..." she said weakly as she pushed herself up. Why did her arm feel so weird?

[insanityxofxmuses]

Kirsh helped her sit, making sure she was stable. He then nodded and looked down at himself at her words. "Jiwoo is quite a determined young woman. We all should thank your sister for fixing us." He looked back at Olivia.

"Morrow is in custody, he did not succeed in leaving the island." He told her.

The Stress of the Truth || Boy Kavalier x Ji-woo

@insanityxofxmuses

Boy Kavalier was quiet, which either meant he was plotting something or something was nagging at him. Unfortunately, in this case, it was the latter. It wasn't very often that something actually got to him, but this was definitely something, in his mind, that warranted pondering over.

Why the Hell did Yutani want to talk to Ji-woo? She had actually called him personally, requesting to see the gril, so she could 'tell her the truth'. What the fuck did that even mean? Ji-woo had nothing to do with that woman, so what could she possibly have to say to her?

He tossed the ball in the air, catching it easily, he did this several times as he marinated in his thoughts. He could have just told the woman 'no', especially since she refused to tell him what this was even about. He did however state that whatever she had to say to his girlfriend, she would say in front of him as well. She had begrudgingly agreed.

Where was Ji-woo anyway? She was supposed to be here by now. He held the ball tightly and rubbed his face. He had so much shit to deal with, and frankly after Yutani's people attacked his home, his girls, his kids... he should have simply told her to fuck off. But alas, his curiosity got the better of him...

[insanityxofxmuses]

Jiwoo nervously paced her room, not paying attention to the time. What could be so important, that Yutani requests to see her.

When she finally checked the time, she swore and rushed out to meet Boy where he told her to.

"I am sorry, I didn't realize the time, am I late?" She bursts into the room and found Boy holding his ball. She was finding herself to be more nervous with how Boy looked annoyed. Was it because she was late?

[hybr1dscience]

Boy Kavalier caught the ball once again just as Ji-woo entered the office. Clearing his throat he got to his feet and tried to seem nonchalant in his approach, but something was etched on his face, "No, you're not late, you're fine, Yutani isn't even here yet." he said as he combed his fingers through his hair.

"This is ridiculous... what do you she wants to talk to you about?" he questioned, more thinking out loud than anything. Really, he very much doubted that Ji-woo had much more of a clue than he himself did. She didn't really bother with that part of things, she never really needed to. And frankly, what did Yutani evenknow about Ji-woo that'd shed even look at her?

"I hate not knowing things," he muttered tossing her the ball. He only hoped it would be something interesting. As long as she wasn't trying to take his girl from him, he was sure it wouldn't be too much of a problem... right?

[insanityxofxmuses]

Jiwoo was stumped, oddly catching the ball, which also caught her off guard. "I... I honestly don't... Have any idea.." she busied her nerves by examining the ball in her fingers. Something she did when she was confused and anxious. Maybe she should get a fidget toy of some sort for herself?

"Mama didn't tell me any details but I noticed she was... Anxious when she told me Yutani specifically asked to see me... Of all people.. me.. why me?" She asked as her eyes looked over the ball. "It's been quiet about me designing the synths.. right?" She looked up at Boy, brows furrowed in her confusion.

Shrines & Dedication || Billy x Emily

@insanityxofxmuses

To say Billy was surprised when he had been invited to the Altieri house would be a little weak to say. Though he didn't show it, he was more than that; he none the less accepted the invitation and went along to stay with them for Summer break. He was curious as to what they were all going to get up to.

Just when the shock of the invite was wearing off, he was once again hit with it when Mickey approached him outside while he smoked a cigarette. He still wasn't sure he heard the other man correctly and stared at him, cigarette half dangling between his lips.

"Okay, hold on," he muttered as he took a a slow inhale and removed the cigarette, "I need you to repeat that, your sister has a what of me in her room?"

[insanityxofxmuses]

Mickey smirked at Billy's reaction, "she has a fucking shrine... Your little ghost face killings.. the article clips and crime scene photos and such." He said in a hushed tone and Emily drove up.

She had gone off to the store while everyone got the rooms sorted and such. She smiled over at them through the car window as she saw them out front, when she parked and shut the car off.

Dark Secrets || Mickey x Spencer

@insanityxofxmuses

Spencer groaned as she slowly came to. She was dizzy, that was the first thing she noticed, her head kinda of hurt too. For a moment she thought maybe she had drank a little too hard at a party, got a little drunk.

But when she looked around and then down at her blood covered clothes she found herself wide awake and she was tied to a chair. She let out a small sound that was half scream and half sob. What was she doing here?

"Mickey?" she gasped as she looked around. Wait, she thought as she froze. Mickey was the one who caused her to be covered in blood. She closed her eyes and shook her head as it came back to her. He had actually killed that guy... granted he had come after her, but Mickey had...

[insanityxofxmuses]

Mickey had seen the guy flirting with Spencer and had seen red. Spencer was HIS girlfriend. They were supposed to be hanging out but then the guy just would not stop urging Spencer to go off somewhere with him.

He had dealt with it and now he had to deal with Spencer knowing his secret.

He heard her calling for him after waking up, and he slowly made his way to stand in the doorway and leaned against the frame to look at her. "Spence.. you're awake. Good." His tone was even with a slight twinge of worry if one actually paid attention.

Time to Train || Zoro x Kitty

@insanityxofxmuses

Zoro was silent as always as he stared out at the sea. They have been traveling for days now, there wasn't much to do around the ship, at least not at the moment. Kora was off giggling with Luffy, Sanji was doing his thing in the kitchen, Usopp and Sasha were working on some ammo together, and Emil and Nami were pouring over maps.

The look on his face read thoughtful, but inside he was utterly bored and needed to do something with himself. He needed to find Kitty. Kitty would help alleviate his boredom, if only a little.

Zoro was immediately on the move once he made his decision, scanning as he looked for that cat girl. It shouldn't be hard, there was only one cute girl with literal cat ears and a tail on the ship. Lo and behold he found her.

"Hey," he said, trying to keep it nonchalant as always, "I need a sparring partner, come on." he said, not even trying to frame it as a question.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Kitty was still getting used to the ways of the crew and life on the ship. It was so different compared to living with her brother and how strict he was.

Her ears twitch from the sound of the swordsman nonchalantly getting her attention. She looked at him, her tail flicked behind her and she had to consciously make her tail wrap around her waist to stop it from giving away her reactions. "Me?" She pointed at herself as her head tilted.

Seeing You Again || Smoker x Sasha

@insanityxofxmuses

Sasha let out a small sigh as she took her purchase, slipping on the new sunglasses over her golden eyes before making her way carefully through Loguetown. It wasn't very hard, she had been here several times throughout the past few years. Frankly, she wished she wasn't here currently. Of course they would arrive at this place on this very day. The day he would most likely be here.

It would be fine, she thought as he tried to move as she normally did. She wasn't wearing anything out of the ordinary, her eyes were hidden. Surely, no one would realize it was her walking around. She just needed to get a few things and then find her brother.

Then, she heard that all too familiar voice and without thinking turned to see that she heard Smoker giving out orders, "Damn," she muttered she almost jogged over to him, like she used to, but she was currently trying to avoid him. Don't look over here, she thought as she began moving on again.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Smoker finished giving orders and caught sight of someone in the crowd that caught his attention. He knew there were tons of non regulars in town for the... Festivities, but he had a weird feeling. He slowly made his way in the direction for where he saw the person heading but went a wider path and acted like he was doing his job.

Didn't Mean to Stare || Bartolomeo X Kitty

@insanityxofxmuses

Bartolomeo was still somewhat reeling from that odd orange haired girl he had bumped into only moments ago. His irritation at her was now, currently, confusion. How did a cute, small girl like her know anything about stealing? Still, he hated to admit it, but he was willing to give her advice a try. Couldn't hurt, right?

His thoughts trailed off when a female voice cut through them. He glanced towards the voice, then his eyes really settled on her. He barely acknowledged the moss haired guy with her. He had caught sight of her fangs, sticking out like a sore thumb as she smiled and talked with the guy. When was the last time he saw another person with fangs like him?

Maybe I should stop staring, he thought as he continued doing just that. He couldn't help it, just like the girl before she was cute. But he really didn't want to run the risk of her or the guy catching him staring. He really didn't want extra trouble right now.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Kitty sighed and smiled "It wasn't really my choice. I am a lowly crewmate. and everyone else needed to do something, we needed to restock the food and rations, Zoro needed to find new swords... now i am just wandering." she said. "are there any cool places?"

[rubberboyandsnipergirl]

Mentorship || Smoker x Sasha

@insanityxofxmuses

Sasha toyed with a strand of her hair as she hummed to herself. She had perched herself in her grandfather's fancy chair, waiting on whoever was going to take over mentoring her.

"I understand you don't exactly want to be here," Garp started as he stood on the other side of the desk, watching her, "This is for the best, you trust me enough to know I've left in the hands of a capable man, yes?"

Sasha paused her humming and pursed her lips before sighing and looking to him, "Yes, I know, Grandpa... I just hope he's not going to hate having to babysit me". That was really her real concern. She always hated being a bother to others.

"Well, he'll learn to deal with it, this will good for him as well," Garp said nonchalantly. He perked up at the sound of a knock at the door, "Enter!"

Sasha leaned forward with a smile, looking towards the door to get a good look at the man would be mentoring her and looking out for her for the next however long.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Smoker made a face, "the new recruit wasn't to pay on her first day?" he said, and smirked "is this a bribe to make me be easy on you during training?" he somewhat teased.

[insanityxofxmuses]

She looked up at him quickly with a frown, "Boyfriend? Who?" She tilted her head the other way "you mean the guy that I was walking with? Oh he isn't my boyfriend!" She playfully slapped his chest and giggled. "Oh man, Zoro? He doesn't really like me that way.." she shook her head, obviously not realizing how the swordsman really felt.

[rubberboyandsnipergirl]

There was a brief moment where Bartolomeo thought she was screwing with him. Was she trying to mess with his head or something? But something about her face made him want to believe she was being genuine. He was taken aback by the alp on his chest before replying, "Right... it's just that... you seemed pretty close to him is all," he gave a smile.

He hated how enamored he was with this girl. Even for him this was a little ridiculous, but she was ridiculously cute. Not to mention she was something a little new, with her cat ears and matching tail.

"Well, if he really doesn't see you that way he seems a little stupid," he couldn't help but blurt out. Shit why had he said said that out loud? That had been an inside thought. Maybe she wouldn't really think too much about it.

[insanityxofxmuses]

She blinked, looking up at him. "Well.. why do you say that? He is the famous Roranoa Zoro, Bounty hunter. And he is really strict with training to be the greatest swordsman." She looked around, hoping Zoro hadn't gotten lost somewhere. "Either way I'm not dating anyone, silly." She smirked up at him.

[rubberboyandsnipergirl]

He really could kick himself. He needed to learn to shut his trap sometimes. But he was in it now, so he might as well keep going until he inevitably pissed her off and she left him... which he would be disappointing.

"That all sounds pretty fancy and all, but that doesn't mean he can't ask a cute girl out or something," he found himself saying. He should really stop while he was ahead. He really didn't need to get himself in any trouble.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Kitty furrowed her brows in confusion "what are you even talking about? Goodness.. Zoro and I are friends.. don't worry about him" she crossed her arms "I'm the one talking to you, not him.."

[insanityxofxmuses]

Smoker looked between the two "oh.. Captain is fine.. or Sir, or just call me Smoker." He shrugged.

He then looked at Garp and nodded. "Few days? So she'll be staying in a dorm here?"

[rubberboyandsnipergirl]

Sasha gave a smile and a small nod in response, "Alright, Smoker, then," she looked over as her grandfather handed her her bags . One was then bag she always carried; it held what little money she had - plus the large amount Garp had handed her - a couple books she managed to collect, and a few other odds and ends she felt were important to have on her person. The other held what little clothes and such she had to her name at the moment.

"For now, she'll stay in a dorm while we get you two acquainted and she gets a few things, after that the idea is to have her with you as much as possible," Garp told him nonchalantly as h

"I'm ready when you are Smoker," she told him as she pulled out the folded paper Garp had handed her which held the info of her temporary dorm and the list of things he wanted her to get for herself.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Smoker furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes at Garp. He was curious what he meant by him needing to have the woman with his as much as possible.

When Sasha spoke, he looked down at her. "Very well. Come on then." He spoke to her and nodded to Garp. He motioned with his hand for her to follow him out.

[rubberboyandsnipergirl]

Sasha adjusted her bags to where she would be able to wear them but also keep them out of everyone else's way before following after him. She looked back and gave her grandfather a wave and watched as he nodded gently at her.

Well, this was going to be odd wasn't it? Living with anyone but Garp was normal for her at this point. However, she was now stuck being taught by this guy who she had no idea how to act with.

"Um, are you hungry? I kind of am," she started, trying to let herself speak normally around him before continuing, "I can pay for the food," she offered.

[insanityxofxmuses]

Smoker paused at her mention of food. He chuckled low and turned to look at her. "Take after Garp, do you?" He motioned for her to follow him in a different direction than the way they were originally going "is your appetite as big as his?"
