Self Indulgence

With the teddy bear back in his arms Ki is visibly more relaxed, the smile becomes more genuine now. “Sure as long as it isnt too loud there.” Loud sounds gave him headaches, especially if it was screaming, he was trying to get over it but it was hard. He reaches out and takes Mizu’s hand, since the other knew their surroundings a lot better than he did right now. “Lead the way then?” Relaxing was something he really could use right now, then a thought struck him. “What will you say if people see us walking around?”

Ah, that smile! Relief washed over him as he nodded in agreement. "Nah, nowhere loud, never was too into loud scenes unless there was a fight or a party!" Practically beaming at his double was a great feeling but having a hand grasp his gave Mizu a shock. It was surreal to be holding your own hands like this, and thumbed over the skin with his thumb. "Sure, got a preference for a place to go?" Call him lame, but Mizu's first thought was back to his apartment since that's where a lot of his R&R time happens, but figured Ki might not wanna just go back to the apartment. "Oh uh- good point..." Slowly moving forward to figure out where they were headed he came up with something. "We'll be identical twins! Born a few minutes apart of something, decided to get matching tattoo's, all that stuff."

"Um.." Like he said his memories of before Morphine were really blurry, but he didnt want to make this any more awkward than it already was so gives his alternate a shaky smile. Mizu was pretty pleasant to be around, he still radiated the charisma and friendliness that Ki had lost, in a way he was jealous of him. However he quickly shakes those feelings away, they wouldnt do him any good and the double hadnt done anything to deserve such spiteful feelings directed at him. "You would know if you met the Prince, where the castle is all white he’s dark, I only met him once, just before I escaped, so it would make sense if you didnt meet him." Ki is glad he seems to have cheered up a bit, being sad wasnt a good feeling after all, so he didnt mind lending Mizu Myself for a little bit.

There was enough behind the smile to relax Mizu but something was odd about it, maybe he shouldn't have mentioned the two yakuza. Even if the situation is strange, he still enjoyed being around this other self but was concerned at the change in the demeanor, scared even. What happened back then was horrifying and if it wasn't for Aoba, Mizu would probably be much worse off than bottling up all of his issues after it. Still, his double came off as being so nervous, it felt almost unfair for Mizu to be cracking jokes as if it was a luxury. "...I don't think I've seen him then, but that does sound familiar. Maybe I heard it from Aoba." Rather than further tug on the stuffed animal, went to hand back the bear definitely feeling a bit calmer.

"Would you wanna find somewhere to relax? It's not fair that I'm the only one kinda comfortable here."

Might as well go for a full house. I’ve always wanted to try out this kind of composition. Personally, I call it the ‘mafia lineup group pic’.

He had somewhat isolated himself, though discovered coil communication was acceptable so ended up spending a fair amount of the day just talking to people. The fact that Mizu didnt know who he was talking about was sad, that person was important to him, he was happy when Aoba said he got the rest he wished for. “The Prince is the Prince, he’s important to Aoba too. I have trouble remembering his name though…but its fine he’s at peace. Dont pull on his ears so hard.” Ki didnt want to have to find someone to fix a torn ear, even if he isnt the one who might rip it, it was just rude to do so even on accident.

Noticing that he didn't comment again about the people he knew, Ki decided not to push the issue. It was obvious Mizu didn't want to get into it but really wished he could remember this 'Prince' if he met them at all, if anything from this conversation. Even if Mizu wasn't really active with Dry Juice anymore after the Morphine business, Ki could hardly blame him. "I wish I had a better idea of who this Prince is...like I said I remember Virus and Trip mentioned someone kind of like that who knew Aoba but, well if he's finally at peace then it's good to let him have it yeah?" Mizu didn't realize how rough he was handling the bear until Ki said something.

"Oh sorry! I've always had a rough touch in a lotta different ways, my partners would tell you that-" He gave a side glance and a smirk to Ki expecting him to catch the innuendo and lighten the mood a bit after digging around a bit too much. "But it kinda came with the Ribster territory, you know that."

[Evening! I'll be on for a bit tonight, it's amazing how other things in life get in the way sometimes! Makes me miss being able to rp like I could two, even three years ago since I know I miss lots of great stories and I've missed a lot of great friendships over that time but I digress for now.]

[Hi everyone, so my job has me working afternoon and nights since I started, and now my college funds aren't going through for some reason so I've been strapped for time to come here and be mentally functioning to do so. I'm not sure when my next day off is but I'll be on then for a little bit. Bye for now guys, have fun!]

"…I saw Aoba and Koujaku once, but the headache got bad enough I passed out so they decided it would be best to just talk over out coils. They pretty much decided I shouldnt attempt to see everyone since that was my reaction to just the two of them…" Ki hated being cut off from everyone he should know, but he didnt even really know his own best friends and the bothersome headache liked to keep him isolated. "Myself was a gift from the Prince, you met him too right?" He meant Sei, their meeting had been chance but it left a deep impression on his heart.

Continuing to prod and pull at the tiny look a like bear, Mizu contemplated that maybe the way they were treated was different too, but that might be kinda silly. "Guessin' you haven't tried it again then...what about the team then? Customers? There's no way you had to cut yourself off your friends...right?"

Seemed kinda rude to be that skeptical but he was too concerned about it for Ki's sake, and his own. Unfortunately he got too confused by the nickname of this person he didn't know to sit on it too long. "Who? I mean...yeah there was Trip and Virus. I do remember them talking about their leader and I think I met them but..."

"I see…for me…I dont really remember anything before becoming their Doll, everything from that point on is clear enough though…" Ki stopped talking when he felts the air get tense again, he didnt want to make the other remember terrible things. He holds out his teddy bear for the other to take, trying to make him feel better, he had made the mistake after all. "Im sorry for making you think about bad things. You can borrow Myself, he’ll make you feel better."

Mizu took the bear decorated in similar tattoos and rubbed the soft fake fur with his thumbs. He felt glum at the notion since well...Mizu didn't like talking about what happened but it clearly hit Ki harder and going the silent route seems almost mean. "Ah really? So...did you go back to Dry Juice? What about Aoba and Koujaku, have they been helping you?" Mizu pulled at the bear's ears and let out a huff. Maybe he shouldn't ask questions... "No it's okay, sometimes it's good to get the words out you know? The bear's cute."

#ooc #sorry about my activity everyone

OOC Update:

Hey everyone, sorry for the two month absence but I had a couple of conventions, a big fallout with my sister, and I was knee deep in job applications

So long story short, I start work tomorrow cause I finally got hired which is great! Though that kinda jacks up my plans to come back and be really active again

Anyways, I'm gonna try to be here more often or get on at least a couple times a week, just shoot me a message about any open rp's or anything since I'll be online for a little bit

[Hey everyone! Sorry for the absence the past week, but I've been running errands, dealt with my niece and nephew, and landed a job interview for tomorrow. Hopefully I can pop back online here tonight. Sorry again guys!]

High Peaches

Aoba blinked, his cheek’s puffed up like a squirrel because of the mouth full of that one peach, the other swallowed and grinned happily. Standing up he walked over to the other, the smell of the weed wasn’t as strong anymore but he had the goofiest grin on his face. “Is Mizuki offering to cook for me like a wife?” he teased, Ren had decided to go curl up on one of the Tattoo chair’s, to stay far away from Aoba for a while.

Aoba however was giddy, Not only was Mizuki hanging out with him for the day, but he was offering to cook too? This was amazing even for his run of luck. And personally he didn’t want to waste it, he wondered if the other could make some donuts like granny did? or something even better?

#BlueBirdJunkie #mama mizuki to the resuce

Oh no, OH NO. Mizuki knew that stupid grin even when Aoba was sober because it was the kind he gave the ribster when he had him cornered on a promise. What an ass... "W - wife!? Dude, if you keep it up I'm gonna feel more like your god damn maid or something! Don't make fun of my hospitality like that!" He poked the man in the side a bit harshly to convey his annoyance properly.

"I can't believe I even offered, I did this to myself..." Grumbling under his breath, he saw Ren on the tattoo chair and figured that he dealt enough with Aoba's nonsense for today so maybe this won't be so bad...right?

"…You would be Mizu then?" That would make things easier, it would be kind of confusing if they were both ‘Mizuki’, after all the biggest difference not counting clothing appeared to be their outward demeanor. It would take some time getting used to this whole thing, but ‘Ki’ relaxes a little bit, it didnt seem like the other meant him harm or anything. "…Do you remember everything from before?" He wanted to know what sort of person he had been.

"Yeah! That's okay with you, 'Ki'?" There was a shy smile to the other, hoping that would make him feel less afraid and make their conversation easier. Really, Mizu wasn't trying to be an asshole that wanted to scare the other senseless like that but he just...he gets rowdy. Though the relaxed air had become tense at the simple question, hitting a painful note with Mizu. "Well it...it comes and goes. There's really blurry spots during my time with Mor -" Something stopped him from even uttering the name, kind of like a harsh kick in the throat. "it's not the same..."
