I’m Totally Not Scared! || Minato & Ryuji

[mxsked-skxll]

saviorofblue‌: 

“There might be something useful in here.”  Minato answered as he looked around the interior of the abandoned mansion. It certainly looked abandoned, and had all the creaks and off putting noises an old forgotten place could have. It didn’t bother him much in comparison to his company who seemed ready to scram on a whim.

 “Don’t worry, it’s just old. We’ll be alright.” He turned to reassure his frightened friend whos excitement had come to a quick halt since entering the abandoned property. He wondered if he should’ve let him wait outside, but that wouldn’t have been any safer.

While carefully surveying his surroundings, nothing really caught Minato’s eye until he passed what seemed to once be a kitchen. Curiosity struck him immediately when he noticed an object containing a liquid that seemed… Strangely out of place. “

“Hey.. Ryuji. Does this seem off to you?” Minato spoke up, pointing to the bottle with an oddly little amount of dust on it. 

    Ryuji’s brain was just screaming at him to leave. He hated to recognize it, but it was the truth. This place was fucking creepy and he didn’t like it at all. Though, thankfully Minato was here with him, so it couldn’t be the absolute worst.

    Looking to where Minato was pointing at, Ryuji rolled his eyes, “Dude it’s just a bottle, it’s fi..ne...what in the hell’s in it?”

    Ryuji walked towards the bottle, his curiosity suddenly taking over his fear of the atmosphere the manor was giving him. As he walked towards the bottle, he noted that the liquid didn’t seem as intimidating, and there was a nifty little tag that said “Drink me.”

    “Huh, weird. It says ‘Drink me’?”

    Without thinking, he picked up the bottle to examine it closer. There was nothing really decorative about it, it was just a simple bottle. Taking off the cork, Ryuji sniffed the liquid: it was sweet. Nothing really special, just sweet.

     Looking back at Minato, “It smells sweet...but what in the hell’s it doin’ just sitting out here...this place’s weird.”

8. Do you genuinely want your muse to be happy? What do you think would make them most happy in life?

9. Do you enjoy putting your muse through angst? What do you think would break their heart the most?

Yes. A thousand times yes. When I watched a playthrough of Persona 5 and I got to see Ryuji’s backstory and how he handled it and the track team, it made me realize that Ryuji needs to have some happiness in his life. In my opinion, it would have to do with his father and the closure involving that whole scenario, and him being able to provide for his mother and making sure that she doesn’t have to work a shit ton of jobs anymore.

Okay, any roleplayer can agree that angst is really fun to write. For most of my muses I have a certain list of “triggers” that I headcanon that use to flesh out their characters if they are kinda “flat” (Like Scott for instance). Probably the thing that would break his heart the most would be for his mother to hate him. Ryuji, like myself, is a huge mama’s boy, and he has such a deep relationship with his mother, that if she decided that he was trash and wanted to throw him out, I’m pretty sure it would actually kill him.

I’m Totally Not Scared! || Minato & Ryuji

Event starter for @saviorofblue

    Ryuji wasn’t scared. Nope. Not at all. Entering the abandoned mansion that looked like it could fall down at any point totally didn’t cause Ryuji’s fight or flight response to go haywire.

    Entering the mansion was entirely Minato’s idea, and Ryuji was all gun-hoe for it in the beginning, then they entered the mansion. The door creaking caused the hair on the back of his neck to stand up...he fuckin’ hated this already.

   Looking around, Ryuji tried to keep his voice even “...why did you want to come here anyway?”

    He kept his eyes out for anything that would try and attack them, and thankfully he had all of his Persona uses left since it was the start of a new week.

To Evolve is to Train || Minato & Ryuji

Starter for @saviorofblue

    After making plans with Minato to work on Ryuji’s Persona skills, he couldn’t sleep for that night due to his nerves and excitement that he was actually going to train with someone who wasn’t a Phantom Thief and was more knowledgeable about Personas and their apparent ability to freakin’ evolve.

    Ryuji wondered about how Captain Kidd would change if/when he evolved, would he just become a more badass pirate? Or would he become something else entirely? Thinking about Captain Kidd changing forced a tight feeling to form in his chest: he’s been through a lot with Captain Kidd...and if he changed...would all of his memories retain? Or would this be an entirely new Persona that he wouldn’t have any connection with?

    Rubbing his head, “Damnit! It’s too late for this type of thinkin’!”

    When the next day finally arrived, Ryuji rushed over to the section of the forest where they agreed to meet: a clearing in the middle-ish of the forest that would be a great place to train due to the room.

    Seeing the other blue haired male entering the clearing, Ryuji’s face split into a child-like smile, “Heeey there Minato! How’re ya doin’?”

Reunited and It Feels So Good || Akira & Ryuji

[mxsked-skxll]

phantom-of-hearts‌: 

A grin curled across Akira’s lips, picking up on his partners feelings. It was just like Ryuji to pick something like that when nothing else gave him that rush of adrenaline he was famous for craving. Of course, Akira was no fool, and would be keeping a good eye on him, knowing how his friend could push himself a bit too hard when none else was a support. 

“Yeah… lets do it! If anyone can discover more about it, you know its the dream team here.” He teased, being sure his company could see his pose which came off incredibly dorky. “I’d be lying if i wasn’t itching to show off too.”

    Ryuji’s heart picked up a little when he saw Akira, or more than likely Joker, smile like that. A smile like that usually meant that the other boy had a plan, which that plan usually meant a palace, but since there weren’t any palaces, Ryuji assumed that they were going to head to the forest.

    Smiling, “R-Really!? I mean, we did found the Phantom Thieves, so it’s pretty obvious we’d be the ones to explore the forest first.”

    Ryuji’s cocky nature was slowly coming back, and it was almost therapeutic how much it made him feel more at piece. There was also the fact that he was back with Akira, his best friend...and someone who was very close to him...almost as close as his own mother was.

    Jumping up and down a little, “So??? Are you going right now??? Please???”

    It was a calm day for Ryuji...and he hated it. While he was pretty sure he didn’t have ADD, his need to be active really caused him to think that maybe he did have the disorder, but his mind was racing too much for him to think about before he re-realized how boring his life was right now. Minato, as a section of his training, dragged him to some meadow and told him to try and talk to his Persona...which was usually pretty easy, but Captain Kidd was being a little brat and wasn’t talking.

    Aggravated, “C’MON CAPTAIN! NOW’S NOT THE TIME TO BE PULLING THE SILENT TREATMENT!”

    He tried for another twenty minutes before he just gave up and laid on the grass, letting the breeze wash over him to relax. Ever since Minato told him about how his Persona evolved and changed, that’s all Ryuji could think about...and just how cool Minato was to let him be his student. Usually kids around their age really didn’t want to be responsible for another’s learning, but Minato was a pretty chill dude about it...so it kinda made Ryuji feel guilty when he wasn’t able to do what Minato asked him to do.

    He felt Minato lay down next to him, and there was a comfortable silence that didn’t drive Ryuji mad...and before he knew it, his eyes closed and he fell asleep.

    What felt like an eternity later, Ryuji’s eyes slowly opened, and his head was resting on something soft and warm, and Ryuji moved closer to the source, not really caring about what it was at the moment...at least that was until he looked over and saw that he was resting his head on Minato’s chest.

    “SH-SHIT!”

    Ryuji quickly got out of Minato’s embrace and sat up, red-hot blush smearing on his face, “S-SORRY DUDE!”

    It was a rough day today for poor Ryuji. Between all of the extra training that he decided to do to try and get Captain Kidd back to his usual self after take a training break, and the fact that he just wasn’t used to training, his body was screaming at him to rest. Except that he knew that the moment that he laid down, he would be out for the night, and he just wasn’t quite ready to stop.

    Grunting, “Okay, just five more monsters to go.”

    Several hours pass, and Ryuji could only fight three more before Captain Kidd’s voice told him that his body was too exhausted to use his powers...dammit. He over did it. Thankfully, Akira was there to help keep an eye on him after Ryuji told him about his extra training that almost killed him.

    Making his way over to Akira, Ryuji sat down at the base of the tree that Akira was already at, and Ryuji could just feel the exhaustion fester in his body, “D-Dammit....I don’t think I...’ve....been this...tir...ed...”

    As his sentence went on, Ryuji fell asleep before his full thought could get out. His head landed onto Akura’s shoulder, and some drool started to slightly drip out of his mouth. This lasted for a good five to ten minutes before Ryuji’s eyes opened to seeing Akira’s face...above him? Apparently during his nap, Ryuji moved his body so that his head...was in Akira’s lap...shit.

    Quickly sitting up, Ryuji’s head started to spin and he was back in Akira’s lap, his head pounding, “OW! Goddamnit....

    After rubbing his head for a good thirty seconds or so, Ryuji looked back at his leader, not really meeting his eye, “s-sorry about...falling a sleep on ya like that...”

    A blush was apparent on Ryuji’s pale skin, embarrassment evident on his face.

A Nice Tan Is Needed || Ryuji & Riku

starter for @tintedxblack

   Ryuji’s always loved the beach: the sun, the water, and the less than clothed bodies that inhabited the beach during the daytime. Ryuji doesn’t beat around the bush: he liked checking people out...a lot...especially at the beach. Though, today was a little different; he wasn’t going to just check people out to try and flirt with them, but he was...actually going to try and tan? Ryuji’s kind of hated being so pale his whole life, and now seeing all of the tanned bodies in Wonderland, Ryuji could feel the jealousy start to boil in him.

    Under his breath, “Man...freakin’ people and their tans...they’re not that great...”

    In only his swimsuit, his town in his right hand, and his phone in the other, Ryuji could just feel the sun start to bake his pale skin already...and it didn’t help the fact that he felt like a lighthouse with how reflective his skin was half the time.

    Looking around, he tried to find the best spot to lay his towel down and relax for a couple minutes, but today was especially busy due to the schools in Wonderland letting out for Spring Break for the next two weeks.

    With a slightly louder voice, “Dammit! I should’ve gotten here sooner!”

@mxsked-skxll

Ib took gentle steps along the tiled flooring, the mall seemed somewhat similar to her home so being there gave her a sense of familiarity though she didn’t recognize a single shop or even a food stall. There was still so much she hadn’t learned and here she was thrusted into a world of nonsensical madness though the mall gave off the casual sense like the home apartment that was given to her. Though one thing unsettled her about the mall both in her world and this one, each shop that seemed somewhat interesting was lined with mannequins standing in the windows, and whether it was her imagination or not she could feel as if she noticed the heads on them moving to look at her. ‘It’s fake’ she told herself, ‘they can’t move…just like mother said…’ Ib repeated in her mind as her eyes were locked on her feet her eyes didn’t drift up once in fear that one would be in front of her, but this came with it’s own danger. As she walked she lost track of the people around her, the objects, even the things like escalators an benches.

Ib could feel them, she could her it, that horrible scraping sound as the objects moved along the floor, following her, waiting for the moment she let her guard down to do…something she didn’t know what but they’d do something to her! Her breathes increased as the scraping got louder and her pace quickened as to get away without trying to alert anyone that she was running away as if walking would make it so she didn’t attract as many things, visions filled her head and noises filled her ears clouding what she was nearing. Ib could only hear the scraping getting louder the voices were drowned out though she could hear questioning voices, but something told her it was better to ignore the whisper like voices around her. In reality Ib had only been imagining everything, repressed memories coulded her senses and she had been speed walking directly towards the down escalator without letting up on her pace even a little as she neared it. Step after step took Ib further and further and further from the danger in her head, but closer to the danger in reality that was actually going to hurt rather than simply looking back and proving her mind wrong.

Ib stepped right into it, though even as she missed the step her head was still clouded until a loud voice suddenly bombed her sense almost constantly clearing her senses, the only word she heard was ‘kid’ but the hand that reached out to grab her wrist and another with a tight grip on her shoulder that pulled her back to safety was more real than she thought. For a moment Ib was caught it surprise as she didn’t have much time to react to either the danger she had been in nor the stranger pulling her back to safety, it wasn’t until she was put back on her feet and turned to look at the person in the face had she realized what had happened or thought she realized it. “You…saved me?” Ib would ask referring to the imagination that clouded her mind up to that point rather than to the escalator incident she had just been saved from. Ib looked up at the male with eyes that seemed curious and questioning why and how he could have been so brave as to fend of the things she had imagined to be there was beyond her mind even that man wasn’t that brave.

    The mall was boring as hell today. Mainly because Akira couldn’t join him, and he really didn’t have any other friends in Wonderland that he was close enough to to just randomly invite them on a random mall trip. So, walking around and just staring at the stores was all he basically did for about 20 minutes before he decided to just sit on a nearby bench and just starting to play on his phone.

    “....this is boring as hell...why did I think it was a good idea to go to the mall by myself? ...worst. Decision. Ever.”

    Even people watching didn’t bring any fun to his time, and that was usually his last resort when nothing else caught his ADD-like attention-span during the low times. Well, that was before he caught the figure of a...kid? Why in the hell was a kid just by themselves in the mall? Where in the hell were their parents? Ryuji’s protective instincts peaked a little, but he learned to restrain himself and to not just go head first into a situation...Akira might’ve yelled that into him.

    Looking at the young girl, Ryuji made sure to never take his eyes off of her, and to make sure that there weren’t any creeps that decided to go near her- but then something weird-ish happened: the girl started to act strange. Looking at her body language...it looked like...a panic attack? She looked zoned out and she was walking faster and faster...and she wasn’t looking where she was going. Seeing that she wasn’t paying attention, and that she was currently walking towards the escalator.

    Springing up, Ryuji briskly walked over to the girl, and gently grabbed her wrist to stop her movement.

    “Hey kid...you alright?”

    Ryuji’s eyes reflected the concern that was in his head, and the girl got out of her dazed look...and asked if he saved her? Huh...this was a first.

    Smiling a little, “I mean, saving wouldn’t be the right word, but sure kid!”

    Moving them out of the line of people, but still in public, Ryuji knelled down to make eye contact with the girl, “So...what’s your name? And where are your parents?”

Reunited and It Feels So Good || Akira & Ryuji

[mxsked-skxll]

phantom-of-hearts‌: 

Akira hummed in thought, tapping his chin as the two walked off together, his mind going over the various scenes he had explored. 

“to be quite honest… that forest is still intriguing. That Manor’s mystery has always excited me..! Most of the more populated places have interested me too.. everything’s so bright and colorful.. tell me, do you have any place in mind you’d like to visit together..?” 

He smiled at his familiar companion, a sense of warm comfort around him. It was nice to be able to spend time with him again, and even in such an extraordinary place, It simply reminded the thief of his first memories of Ryuji. Exploring a castle together, discovering the secrets of a hidden world… why, it really was just like usual, wasnt it?      

    Ryuji felt a small bead of sweat fall down his neck at the mention of the forest again; if Akira found out that Ryuji was doing solo training and that he came close to dying multiple times...it wouldn’t of been pretty for him.

    Looking at his leader, “Y-Yeah! We should totally go to the forest! ...there’s a Manor there?”

    He’s only heard about the Manor since his training didn’t take him anywhere close to civilization. The reason being that that’s where the more powerful monsters lived, and Ryuji wanted a bit of a challenge when he trained...and if he wasn’t bleedin’ after a good training session, then it was a waste of his time.

    Looking around at the scenery around them...everything looked boring as hell, and Ryuji was starting to lose faith that they were going to find anything.

    Sighing, “Maaan...maybe the forest’ll be the best bet? Nothin’ looks fun ‘round here.”

    You’re such a piece of shit…

    You’re just a burden…

    You should’ve never been born…

    You’re not my son-

    It’s a bad day. Actually, scratch that: it’s be a fucking horrendous day for Ryuji. Today, his depression, or whatever you want to fucking label it as, was the worst it’s been since he fell into Wonderland. Every negative thought that he’s ignored during his time here just hit him at double the force, and double the volume. Captain Kidd tried to help him…but even his words couldn’t help…it was scary, and Ryuji didn’t know what to do.

     Thankfully he wasn’t alone: him and Mikazuki were doing some training, and then they decided that some food was in order…that’s when the thoughts his Ryuji.

    Apparently Mikazuki noticed his change of mood…god when did Ryuji become easy to read…

    He heard Mikazuki say, “Remember to take everything one day at a time...“

    Hearing those words...it forced Ryuji to think about just today....and it helped...

    Looking up at the other, a couple tears falling down his face, “…h…how did you d-do that…”

1. Gentle Whisper

    This monster was pissing him off. He’s been fighting this fucker for at least three fucking hours, and Ryuji was about to freaking lose it. His grip on his sanity was slowly loosening, and Captain Kidd was starting to feel the affects of that: a red aura was forming around the Persona, and his form grew more agitated and feral.

    Snarling, “You fucking piece of- ZIODYNE!”

    The lightning that came out of Captain Kidd...it wasn’t its normal yellow color: it was red. Riku, who joined in the fight around the second hour, moved next to Ryuji.

     “Calm the hell down...”

     The bluntness shocked Ryuji out of his rage, and both him, and Captain kid returned to normal.

    Turning to Riku, “Uh...th-thanks dude. I..I don’t know what happened there...”
