SAGITTARIUS for genji :)

[ 𝐙𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 -- ACCEPTING]

>Is your muse a workaholic?

There was a time in Genji's life where he could have been considered a workaholic - his time at Blackwatch. Still reeling from the trauma of being killed by his brother, and the inherent horror in being rebuilt; half man, half machine - all monster. He would throw himself into mission and mission after mission, using his work to numb the feelings he bottled down, taking his rage out on his enemies with great impunity. He wouldn't rest, he would barely eat, he would sleep the bare minimum - itching to get out into the field again. He would work himself to collapse, he would push his mechanical parts past their stress tested limits, over and over and over...perhaps, somewhere, hoping something important would give, and he would find eternal rest at last.

Nowadays, though he is certainly a hard worker, he also always makes time for rest and relaxation.

"A steady Blade balances the soul...yes, and a steady work-life balance also helps!"

>Opinion On Workaholics?

Genji has no real opinion. Criticising them seems wrong; he was one once, after all. The circumstances surrounding those decisions were terrible. How could he possibly know if someone else is going through something just as bad, and this is their escape? He's not the judgemental sort at all.

"We all walk our own paths, it is their decision - I just hope they do not come to regret it."

>Most reckless decision?

Going to visit Hanzo after his re-build. Even now, though Zenyatta has taught him not to dwell on the past so much, he sits and thinks on how many different ways that could have gone wrong. Hanzo was always more skilled than him, and though he had gone through rigorous exercises and training since his near-death experience -- He was still unsure if he could win if Hanzo chose to fight. How would Hanzo react to his re-appearance? He could hazard a few guesses, but at the time he was mostly flying blind.

It was a huge gamble.

"Well, you know that they say...All's well that doesn't get me killed."

>How does he handle commitment?

In the past? Not at all. Genji was the definition of Playboy Fuck boy, going out living the high life (using his family's wealth and fame) and pretty much doing whatever...or whoever he wanted, never settling down with anyone for too long. I'm certain he had a few short relationships, but I can't imagine them lasting anymore than a few weeks - a month or 2 at the absolute longest.

These days, however, he's much, much more grounded, down to earth and sensible. He's not that person anymore. Commitment would be something he takes very seriously. He's committed to Overwatch, after all. He's not the kind to just up and vanish like he used to.

"Even the free-flying sparrow...must land to roost someday."

>Does your muse experience wanderlust? Where would they go?

He absolutely does. It's not super noticeable, as working for Overwatch has him travelling all over the world anyway, but he just loves going all over, meeting new faces, experiencing new cultures and seeing the world for what is is, not what others might tell him it is.

"Recently, Hana has been treating me to some of her favourite Korean dishes. I must say, they're much different to what I'm used to...but in a good way. "

LIBRA for Joker

[ 𝐙𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 -- ACCEPTING]

≻ how does your muse bring balance to their surroundings ?

Ren likes to keep his surroundings tidy. Knowing where every little thing is - where any thing he may need could be at a moments notice - puts his mind at ease. Why else did he spend so long cleaning and tidying up that attic?

The cafe itself, too. When he's there, the workspaces are always spick and span. The tidiness, the clarity of it all. One of few things he has complete control over.

"Besides...don't think Sojiro would ever let me hear the end of it if I left it a mess."

≻ is your muse a people pleaser ?

Absolutely; though he is also acutely aware that he is a people pleaser. All the people who were once stranger that are now his friends... Is this not how they bonded? Is that not what they all did together in Mementos - solving the issues of people to make a kinder, happier world?

It's his belief that the world can be cruel, and unkind - so he'll do his bit to act as the inverse, a rebel to the status quo - through and through.

"Let's see here...On Monday, I'm helping that guy at the station find his cat. Tuesday, Futaba needs an extra for her 'Pro Comp Team...' Wednesday, I'm running the shop for Sojiro while he takes a day off, Thursday- ah, shoot, what was it? Right! Me and Ann are going shopping. Friday, there was a lady who wanted someone to tutor her son..Saturday, I actually offered to help clear out some old stock at 'Untouchable' and Sunday...Awh, great, more clinical trials with Dr.Takemi, and then next monday---"

≻ how does your muse navigate justice & mercy ?

With great scrutiny. Not that he doesn't believe in such things - but after the events of 'Persona 5' (and ofc, during.) he has a rather shaken faith in the idea of 'justice' - after all, He and the other phantom thieves took that ideal into their own hands. Why should he believe in any other justice? As for Mercy...

"No- They're not going to die. They're going to confess, repent, and live the punishment they've accrued. That is Justice. Nothing more, nothing less."

You get what you give, really.

≻ how does your muse handle having to confront someone ?

Without too much trouble. As Leader of the Phantom Thieves, it's not as if Ren is any stranger to confronting anyone. Be it the twisted, warped desires of any number of people, or Ryuji for saying something that maybe came out a little ruder than he intended. (knowing him this well, Ren can always tell.) He has no issues bringing things up to people and letting them know his thoughts on the matter.

He may be a people pleasure, sure, but Ren isn't going to stay quiet if he doesn't agree with something.

"Hey, Futaba. I can't help but notice that the last of the custard donuts I was saving have vanished. Nor can I help but notice that you have a custard stain on your shirt. Care to explain?"

". . . . . . . Well. You see, the thing is.... Gotta GO-!"

"Oh, no you dont!"

LEO for Ezreal

[ 𝐙𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 -- ACCEPTING]

≻ does your muse lead others effectively ?

He thinks he does, but he really doesn't. His ego is much too big, he's the kind of person who thinks he doesn't need his teammates in group projects -- even if parts of the project are way outside his skill set. Even if his ideas are good, many people probably wouldn't listen to him anyways due to his...personality.

Though, even if I say that, he tends to get a bit more reliable in serious situation. If he and someone else were in danger, for example... reckon he would be able to take charge really well - probably because he's too focused on 'not dying' to think about 'showing off' how 'cool' he (thinks) he is.

"Don't worry, we're gonna get out of this, no problem! I've got a plan; so listen here..."

≻ what is your muse's most arrogant behavior ?

Everything? Kidding! But as previously mentioned, he always tries to show off and make other people think that he's much cooler than he really is. He tries to make himself seem as put-together and cooly competent as possible. He sees himself as a modern day Indiana Jones or Lara Croft...or, successor of his parents.

He often puts up this front to everyone's detriment, acting superficially better than everyone else.

"Oh, yeah, I just got back from, y'know. Securing some ancient treasures from some old Noxian Tombs. Usual Tuesday for me. What? No, it's totally haunted. No biggie for me, though, i'm used to it. Youuuu wouldn't get it."

≻ is your character confident ? charismatic ?

Confident? YES.

Charismatic... Depends who you ask.

"The name's Ezreal. E-Z-R-E-A-L. I'll try and remember you when I make it big, alright? Here-- my autograph. -wink-"

≻ how does your muse handle being ignored ?

Surprisingly well, most of the time. Ezreal is self-satisfied with his own company and already spends alot of time alone - and is very, very used to people not listening as he brags about himself. Though, I think if he got closer to someone..maybe he'd get a bit pouty about it, you know? After finally finding someone who will listen to him, it would sting if they suddenly didn't.

But with that said, not engaging with him is a sure fire way to make him dip for a few days, so...there's that.

". . . . . . . . Fine. I've got plenty of other friends, trusted acquaintances in the fields of archeology, ancient spirits i still talk to- y'know, waaaay better things than sitting around here doing nothing. See ya!"

(and there he goes...)

[cyfaredd]

                    interesting ??   what   does   THAT   mean ??   whether   he’s   considering   this   to   be   a   good   or   a   bad   thing   Alex   simply   can’t   tell,   so   really   a   compliment   is   the   only   way   he   can   take   it   so   as   to   not   hurt   his   pride   too   badly   too   quickly.   a   short,   almost   nervous   sounding   laugh   slips   out   instead   of   the   words   his   mind   is   failing   to   conjure   —   a   little   embarrassing   for   a   man   usually   so   much   better   at   handling   himself   than   this.

                    ❝ Not   a   word   I   often   get   called,   but   thanks.   And   if   you’d   like   to   then   I   certainly   wouldn’t   mind   coming   over   more   to   see   Noemie.   How’s   she   been   by   the   way ?? ❞

                    he’ll   be   the   first   to   admit   that   he   had   doubts   when   finding   out   their   situation   &&   how   they   had   volunteered   to   adopt   his   younger   sister   after   the   living   hell   that   she’d   been   subjected   to   …   &&   also   the   first   to   confess   how   unfounded   those   fears   had   been   after   seeing   the   small   family   together.   from   the   small   outside   view   he   has   looking   in   on   a   life   he   himself   had   longed   for   longer   than   he   remembers,   she   seems   so   happy   considering   the   circumstances.   no   words   can   ever   truly   express   the   depth   of   gratitude   he   holds   for   the   man   standing   before   him.

                    maybe   that   then   explains   the   conflicting   feelings   swirling   around   like   a   torrent   within,   &&   how   deeply   alluring   Lalnable   is   to   him.   like   the   opposite   end   of   a   magnet   he   never   fails   to   feel   his   eyes   draw   to   him   in   a   way   that   so   easily   lets   the   frost   witch’s   mind   wander   astray.   even   now,   just   looking   into   the   intense   carmine   of   his   eyes   …

                    ———   ah,   he   almost   let   himself   get   distracted   yet   again.

                    ❝ Oh,   y   —   you   know,   there’s   this   dessert   she   used   to   love   our   mutti   making   for   all   of   us   called   buchteln.   If   you’d   like   then   I   can   try   making   it   sometime   and   bring   some   over   for   you   all   to   try. ❞

[rcyaltyfree]

Forwardly completely oblivious to how his words were making Alex feel, Lalnable simply nods to confirm; 'Yes, it was a compliment. Isn't it obvious?'

That aside. . . A look of interest shines in his eyes as Alex talks. As Noemie's official caretaker; and as a man who operated on a principle of competence and perfection...he took these matters very, very seriously.

Even if it's a life that isn't truly his, living a lie of going through the motions - a convincing fake can be just as good as the real thing.

Such goodness does not come to men like him, so he believes. But even so, he must play the part; perfectly.

"A dessert?" He asks, voice not at all hiding his piqued interest. "Hmm, that sounds good. I believe Noemie would enjoy eating something familiar..." Something from her past... would surely make her happy. "I'd quite like that Alex, if it doesn't trouble you at all."

"Perhaps; someday you could teach me how to make it? If that's alright with you, of course. "

[cyfaredd]

                    finding   Lalnable   in   the   training   arena   feels   more   common   an   occurrence   each   &&   every   day   —   but not   one   that   Alex   will   ever   complain   about.   how   ever   can   he   when   their   newest   regular   is   someone   so   easy   on   the   eyes ??   probably   not   the   best   thought   to   have   about   his   sister’s   adopted   father,   but   also   it’s   sort   of   an   undeniable   truth.   not   that   he’ll   EVER   openly   say   how   easily   he   loses   track   of   what   the   man’s   saying   by   merely   staring   at   him.

                    that   makes   the   fact   he   heard   the   question   at   all   a   little   remarkable,   though   he’s   certainly   glad   he   did   as   a   softer   smile   than   usual   ( one   usually   reserved   for   Her )   pulls   at   his   lips   &&   a   hand   makes   its   way   to   his   hip   as   he   starts   to   relax   a   little.   most   people   around   him   choose   to   avoid   questions   about   his   past   or   how   he   dealt   with   it   all.   it’s   understandable   —   calling   it   a   ‘difficult   topic’   would   be   severely   underestimating   the   weight   of   his   burdens,   yet   Lalnable   asks   anyway.   if   nothing   else,   it’s   a   little   refreshing.

                    ❝I’d   be   lying   if   I   said   it   was   easy   but   …   Ultimately,   I’m   proud   of   every   scar   that’s   on   me.   They   mark   that   I’m   a   survivor   above   everything   else.   Isn’t   it   the   same   for   you??❞

lyrical themed starter for @rcyaltyfree

[rcyaltyfree]

Lalnable didn't have much of anything on his mind as he hit the 'Faster' button on the treadmill. Of the past, the present, the future, of the people he knew and the people he knows. Things he has to do later, things he should be doing now, things he could have done long ago. . . Beep! Faster.

As Alex approached, however, that emptiness was filled - trained eyes reviewing, analyzing, assessing almost instinct, taking in every detail; his mind breaking down and with with a few thoughts. 'I never really noticed, but Alex is rater well built, isn't he...' 'I should have known, though, I have seen him here before...' And a final question, spoken.

"...That's interesting." Is Lalnable's initial response, keeping his steady pace on the treadmill, a few beads of sweat rolling down his face and chest. He thought on his own scars, and what they meant, what they really meant.

"You could say it's the same. In a sense, they're all reminders. I always believed that to be a bad thing, but--" he suddenly presses the stop button, gradually slowing to a halt and wiping his brow with a towel he had wrapped around the handles. His scars were just marks of failure - that was his belief. All the people he couldn't protect. The people that died instead of him. "You see them differently. 'Marks that you're a survivor above all else.' -- Hm. An optimistic outlook, but...I don't dislike it."

It's a subtle gesture, but he glances at the palm of his hand. A small mark nearly right in the center - a tiny wound, but a deep one, leaving a tiny but permanent (or at least, very long lasting) mark. It was one he got not long after he and Minako adopted Noemie. Carelessly, he hadn't properly accounted for her unique anatomy. A chopping board places too close to the edge of the counter - that fell as she passed by, knocked over by her rabbit ears. A knife, falling.

A mark of his failure...

And yet, as he considers Alex's point of view, a subtle, tiny smile pulls at the corners of his face. She wasn't hurt, after all. Having caught the knife with his hand, this was a mark of his success. Of protecting someone, anyone.

"...That's interesting." He repeats, almost absentmindedly. "You're rather interesting, aren't you, Alex? You know, I'm starting to think we should talk more often, don't you agree?"

❝You look like you just saw a ghost.❞ [Senna's bad joke to Lucian]

Lucian remains silent at Senna's remark. He barely reacts at all, save for an errant twitch of his eyebrow. Slowly, he turns his head so he can look her in the eye. His face an almost unreadable mix of several conflicting emotions.

The shame; that she makes this joke due to the consequences of not being able to save her.

The disappointment; because it's a terrible joke.

The humor; because it's her terrible joke and those are his favorite - not that he'd ever say.

The happiness; that despite it all she's here. Still here. Alive? Ish. But telling her awful, awful jokes all the same.

At last, after enough time passes that a Second Ruination could have occurred, he speaks.

"...Is that supposed to be funny, love?"

[rcyaltyfree]

❝You look like you're tired — you really should rest, my starlight.❞ [Chrona to Astrae]

"Tired? Do I really?" He speaks with a bemused tone, willing a couple floating lights to wisp around Chrona's head before returning to him. They landed on his open palm, before fizzling into nothingness.

Astrae sighs wearily. 'You're not wrong' he speaks, silently, the warmth of the wisps fading from his hand. The final embers of a dying star, laid to rest right then in his embrace. That even the overwhelming forces of the unending cataclysm known as a 'Star' could get tired is something privy only to him; their caretaker.

That he could get tired is something privy only to Chrona.

He closes his eyes and nods, before silently pulling Chrona into his arms. Warmth would envelop her from every side, comfortable, and not at all too hot. "Mhhhm. I suppose it is about time to relax for a while. Just for a bit."

--but always longer than he intends. Always.

[mad-hatter-memes]

❝Ot ~ tooo~❞ A certain silver-haired demon calls out to him, reaching out one of her hands, ❝Give me your hand real quick, okay~?❞ And if he's expecting another of their pranks then he may be a little surprised when, a second or two after he does she raises it to place against her cheek, the usual devillish smile replaced by something softer. ❝I love you.❞

"My hand?" Otto glances up from the scattered papers on his desk. Several spanning large documents, their words jargon to anyone not privy, a mess pertaining to Alternate Realities and Forbidden Magics.... and, of course, the best farming spots. Being 100% optimal in Fantasm Finale 14 isn't easy, after all.

But that would have to wait. Right now, he glanced at his hand, then back to Lucifer, then back at his hand. Their words echoed in his mind-- "Give me your hand real quick." "Give me your hand." "Your hand." "Give me." "Give. Me." "HAND. GIVE."

"M-my hand..." he mutters again as Lucifer leans in close, tensing as 5 million scenarios race through his mind -- maybe it'll be painless? Will he be left with a nub? Exchanged for their hand? Or...exposed bone and open artery? Damnit, he was sometimes jealous of Rei's robotic arm, but not like this...

Not like-- ah?

As he slowly, surely, relaxed -- coritsol levels dropping, bpm stabilising, adrenal spike fading, blood pressure dropping, bowels (and hand) in one piece, relax, relax -- shoulders dropping as he exhales. Then, his signature slightly-awkward-but-oh-so-earnestly-cute Otto Smile finally comes to his face.

"Ah...W-well, I love you too, of course." he says sheepishly, taking the the opportunity to caress Lucifer's face, to feel the softness of their skin. So pale...and cold....not such that he fears of frostbite, but, with that smile, that damned smile, almost, no- definitely...

"...comforting and beautiful...like...fresh fallen snow on a mild winters day..." he accidentally thinks, out loud, using his mouth.

"Well-!" he starts suddenly, bringing his other, also still attached hand to his face, not at all addressing what he said. How could he; he didn't even notice. "Naturally, as I love you so, I must ask for your input on something that's vexing me..."

"Looking at these charts...The Sunken Crypt is definitely reading as having a higher drop rate of Drowned Linen than the Fields of Thallasia , right? I've been at this so long, I'm getting a little cross eyed..."

[rcyaltyfree]

HEY SINCE YOU ASKED 💬 + Akechi FOR REN, POST-P5

[ Send 💬 + [character name] for my muse to talk about that character! ]

Ren lay upon his bed, staring up at the ceiling. The setting sun shone softly through the window of his attic abode, eyes watching the dust dancing through the sunbeams. Fleeting and Impossible to catch, he raises his hand anyway.

Of course, the movement simply scatters them through the air.

He knew that from the start.

". . . Goro Akechi. . . to think, this whole time you and I were both locked up." -- he clenches his fist as a flash of anger takes hold - rememebering the face of the man who put him where he is now. "..and it was the same damn bastard that held the keys."

He lets his arm fall to his side, letting out a resigned sigh. This night was his last night here before moving back with his parents. He was moving away from his new family, his friends, his life as a phantom thief. Moving on.

Moving on. They would still all be friends, obviously - so why does it sting? Why does this pain continue in his chest?

He's just moving on. It's not hard. It shouldn't be hard. They'll still all be. . .

'No. Not all of us.'

Some part of him wished - despite knowing how backwards it is - that it was the real him in that interrogation room. To see Akechi; to hear what he would happily say, knowing it would never escape his lips afterwards. To see him alive as the last thing, and never go through the pain of losing him.

Maybe some real part of him DID die in that interrogation room. Something he would never get back.

it was unfair. There were so few people that Ren could fully trust with who he was - so few that they were all so important to him. And yet one of them never even revealed that fact until it was too late.

"To think he was so close by...yet so far away the entire time. Now that's unfair..." Ren's voice is quiet as he talks to no one - absolutely no one - as the only person he wants to talk to right now is no longer here.

But if he was...what would he say?

"It's stupid, isn't it? You said you hated me. From the way you worded it, you made me out like the ultimate inversion of yourself. That I was the scum of the world that held everything you craved in my hands."

"...then, I must have stolen it all, right? Like a real Phantom Thief, right? So maybe I did. Maybe I have everything you've ever wanted, and I don't deserve a single ounce of it. It's all rightfully yours - so come and take it. Come on! Goro Akechi - If i'm so despicable, then come out and take what you want! Take it!! Come and get it for yourself!" He yells fruitlessly into the empty room - a room now almost empty of any of his own belongings.

(There's nothing here TO take.)

Ren falls quiet, acutely aware that if anyone was listening ,they would think him insane. Even so, he continues on, letting his idle thoughts spill over - airing his grievances to the world. Lest they build up inside him like a rust that grinds against his every thought.

"...I've still got your glove, dumbass. Isn't your hand cold without it?"

..and so it went on. One man's ramblings of words unsaid. At times, he laughed at how stupid it all was. At times, he raged at how unfair it all was. He shouted and demanded that the one lost to him come back and pay for what he did.

Until finally...he fell silent. His energy exhausted, the siren song of sleep finally overcame him. In the silence, another voice speaks...

"Maybe this'll give you some sense of closure on this. Sorry. After all the work you put in for me, I'm still not strong enough to face you on this head-on." Futaba slips something under Ren's door, before tiptoeing back down the stairs, whispering aloud to herself. "I really wish I could say 'I care about him too.' or 'I wish he was still alive too.' "

"...But I can't. I hope you can forgive me for that."

================================================

laying silent on the floor, peeking out under the door in Ren's room....A mock-up calling card. One that calls for an end, one that - just like a real one -- manifests and realises the truth and solidifies 'the way things are' .

Maybe with this, Joker can but put to rest along side Crow. And Ren can continue to live on without Goro Akechi. The heart of Ren Amamiya has already been taken - and the one who stole it is no longer with us; and won't becoming back.
