“ If that is what you believe in. I personally prefer to  be a little more… comfortably conservative when swimming.” If that was what one would call his habit of covering up too much even to just do an activity like swimming.

A human spoke to him like this, even if he was disguised. It was interesting. As he was, he couldn’t help but begin to laugh at this. Should he freak him out? No, maybe he can see how far this man was going to go first with his claim. Being in the presence of a odd human was already entertaining. 

“You’ve never attempted such a feat before, have you? At a power like yours, you may break a bone or a neck. Though I doubt much else.” The others around were getting a bit concerned now with the younger boy in their eyes clearly edging the teenager in front of him.

Jesus, this kid took him literally? Well, whatever, that meant he was either too stupid to let live, or he deserved getting his shit pushed in for being a little asshole anyway. He’d certainly caught Kanji’s full attention.

“Ohoho, kid, you got no idea what I done. Once beat a dude with his own motorbike’s handlebar. Don’t test me. Now, shut up an’ lemme finish orderin’ my food.” He turns back around to the workers. “So like I was sayin’, at least four ounces of ginger-”

[pureheartedbeast]

“Dude. Respect.”

The ability to shapeshift was at least practical while he got his bearings. Taking on the form of a younger child was an easy way to manipulate people to not bother him as he was minding his own business. 

Humanoid shapes felt so frail, it was a joke. Alas, it was the best he could do. For now, he had to get sustenance. The rather taller male in front of him was simply who he was waiting to be done with. Ah, if only he had his tentacles or poison. “Are you going to choose something, or will you continue to stand there and be useless?” @pureheartedbeast​

Kanji had found the only shop that had anything approximating a beef bowl within three miles of his apartment, and damn if he wasn’t gonna make sure they got it just right. Already the staff were giving him looks of “I’m so sorry” or “please don’t hurt me,” but all Kanji wanted was his food. He stood, tapping his foot impatiently on the ground when he heard a voice from behind.

Turning, he saw nothing, then craned his neck downward to look at the mouthy child. A soft click of his tongue escaped as he sneered at the disguised demon. “Listen, shitbird, wait yer damn turn. If ya don’t, I’m gonna shove your head so far up your kiester that you can eat all your food twice.”

send one for my muse's reaction!

“Expect nothing. Only then can you be prepared for anything.” “Have you always been such an asshole?“  “And how do you decide who deserves to die?“  “I have to admit that I have a grudging admiration for you.”  “Sometimes I come up here when I have decisions to make or difficulties to face.”  “I don’t know… how to be in this world without you.“  “Peace is an illusion. And no matter how tranquil the world seems… peace doesn’t last long. Peace is a struggle against our very nature. A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle, and sinew.”  “This is not how normal people start the day. Coffee, cereal maybe. Toast. Maybe even toast with another person…”  “All this trust is just making me tear up.”  “I’ll never see her again, not even to say goodbye. Do you know what that’s like?“  “What the fuck? What did you do to my goddamn door?“  “See, friends are overrated, ‘cause eventually, someone will come along and shoot ‘em. You’re better off alone.”  “You twirl your fingers when you’re nervous, you know that?”  “If I were afraid, would you save me, [NAME]?”  “We stick together, [NAME]. Never face the monsters alone.“  “For just a few hours, stay out of trouble, okay?”  “You look so thin. Are you eating enough?“  “There are some things you can’t kill your way out of.”  “You should know there’s nothing I won’t do. Nothing, if it will save you.“  “Divide et impera.“  “When everyone lies, telling the truth isn’t just rebellion. It’s an act of revolution. So think carefully when you speak it, because the truth is a weapon.”  “I told you before, we’re not friends. I don’t owe you a goddamn thing.”  “Don’t talk to me again unless you have something useful to say, okay?”  “The guards’ll be fine. Well, except for the broken jaw and shattered leg.”  “I could get you a car if you’d like. Or you could stay a while. With me.“  “I believe I’m the one offering to do the saving. Think about it. But don’t take too long. We’re running out of time.”  “You know, it’s getting easier to imagine putting holes in you every time you open your mouth.“  “I appreciate that you are no quitter. But there is a time for letting go.“  “Stay with me, [name]. Hey! Hey, I’m talking to you.”  “Don’t worry about him. He’s fine. Just concentrate on staying alive.”  “Hey, hey. Stay awake! Stay awake! Open your eyes!“  “This is what you do, love. Stride across the centuries, and death follows, churning in your wake.”  “Love isn’t finite. Maybe life shouldn’t be either. Maybe we should keep living, forever.“  “How could you believe that I would shoot you?”  “I cannot speak for you, my friend, but I am here to kick great amounts of ass.”  “I hate it when you’re smug.“  “The danger of living too long: you forget to fear death. We dismiss the Grim Reaper as a quaint metaphor. But fearing death… it’s good for you.”  “I missed you so much.“  “This is the weakness of weapons. They are tools to kill and destroy. They are not what gives you power. You are the weapon. You are the killer and destroyer.”  “I don’t wanna die. I wanna live. I want us to see a million tomorrows.“  “That’s the hardest thing to get used to. Nothing survives. Nothing but us.”  “You look good. I could have sworn I broke your back.”  “So, what? I just… forgive you, like nothing’s happened?”  “Whatever you think was happening between us… it didn’t matter. It meant nothing to me.”  “Throwing blades is an excellent way to increase one’s hand-eye coordination.”  “I think your relationship with honesty is passing at best.”  “Do you love me? It’s not a complicated question.“  “I’ll burn every one of them down, if that’s what it takes to bring you back to me.”  “I can’t ever expect your forgiveness.“  “You got a lot to lose. I don’t. Why don’t you listen?”  “I don’t see the point in going through this sober.”  “Fair is for dead men and losers.“  “You can say goodbye later, when one of us is dead.”  “You lied to me. To me, [NAME]. The only person who’s ever truly loved you.”  “It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. I promise, it’s gonna be okay.”  “I skipped over worry and went straight to full-on panic.“  “I’ll never give you up. If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail…”  “It’s time for you to evolve. Transformation is always painful. But I changed to make myself stronger. You can, too.“  “This is real power. Cutting away the things that make you weak one at a time. Embrace that power. Be on the winning side.”  “They were raw material. A means to an end to get the respect I’m owed.”  “You’ve become everything we fought against.”  “The look on her face. The look on her face when I pulled the trigger. It was almost relief.”  “I may be many things, but I am not a murderer.”  “We have ruined each other. Haven’t we?“

From: @unforged​ Message: In the face of criticism, is your character defensive, self-deprecating, or willing to improve? -------------

This is super interesting, because this is such a fluid answer for Kanji. It’s all dependent on context. Is the criticism fair and valid? Is it coming from someone he respects? Is it constructive or reductive?

Kanji, historically, is a character that wears his heart on his sleeve 24/7 and is super in touch with his emotions, even if he’s bad at expressing them. The flipside to that is that his emotions are always on the outermost layer, and take the blow before any walls he can try to erect. Thus, any criticism tends to dig at him deeper than most by default.

If the criticism is from a place of assistance or care, then he’ll be more likely to take it into consideration. Outwardly, he’ll probably act like he brushes it off like a moody teen, but it’s one of those things that sticks with him. However, there are three people who are exceptions to this: If the criticism comes from Naoto Shirogane, Yu Narukami or Rise Kujikawa, he will immediately listen. He won’t even give them the pretense of blowing it off, because he knows that those three an see straight through him, there’s no use in hiding it.

If the criticism, however, is aimed toward something he made or one of his hobbies, he will immediately kick his aggression up a notch, due to past traumas that have clung to him for years. It’s a reflex, and supersedes even his respect for those three named prior. However, nowadays, he’s able to recognize when he’s getting too worked up over nothing and attempt to bring himself back down.

“Phantom of the Opera? I’ve never heard of it, but it sounds edgy enough to be something Vince would be into. He’s sort of like…” And she takes a moment to compose herself, wearing a mournful expression and a distant, sorrowful gaze. “I can never repent for my sins.” Just as quickly as she took on the Vincent-esque look, she returns to her typical, plucky self. “He’s got this tattered red cape, and pointy shoes. Is that like Phantom of the Opera?”

“It’s a musical. It’s really good, but really emo at times.” He bites his tongue to keep from laughing out loud- that sounded like Yosuke whenever Yukiko grilled him on being an asshole. “I mean, that sounds pretty Phantom of the Opera. Not super sure how the shoes fit into the equation, but damned if capes an’ sadness ain’t Phantom from top to bottom.”

From: @sunbirthed​ Message:  On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets? -------------

Generally, not a whole lot. Mostly what he keeps in his pockets are his cell phone, his Teddie-Vision™ sunglasses and his wallet. It’s a chain wallet with a skull on the face, but he lost the chain ages ago, so he made a little cell phone charm style pink bunny that he secures into the hole now. Other than that, if he has school, you’ll find a pen and a pencil, and at any given time, he has a mini sewing kit with a handful of needles and small spools of various color threads in case someone needs an emergency button-stitching or if he gets hurt, he can stitch a booboo closed.

“Speaking of Satan - has anyone seen my boyfriend? About this tall, long black hair, red eyes, really broody… one of his hands is a claw? I’m worried he’s lamenting his sorrows or seeking atonement or something off on his own somewhere.”

“The fuck, yo. Are you datin’, like, the Phantom of the Opera or some shit? Sounds like an emo’s worst nightmare an’ most pleasant dream all mixed together.”
