Gonna be working on putting up a post about the different relationships that are a part of and planned for this AU. Look forward to that!

[reading-between-truth-and-lies]

Yo, long time no see! Mod Kokichi here with an update about this blog.

We are going to be starting this blog back up back up! I will revamp this blog to be a general blog about the fantasy AU I have created.

I will be going through and deleting all rp stuff as I no longer want to do that with this blog.

I will also be keeping everything else we have established so far.

Once the revamping is done here is what you can expect:

More written lore about other characters and not just Shuichi and Kokichi. Along with more world lore whenever we remember stuff.

Random text posts about all characters in this AU

Shuichi, Kaito, and Kokichi will be predominantly talked about but not be the only ones.

ask box will still be open for character or general asks. (We will get to the ones that have already been sent in.)

A new name for this blog. Currently: ask-kitsune-kokichi-n-co with be changed to: reading-between-truth-and-lies

Possible updates on the possible fanfic I am writing about this AU. This is still very much a WIP and don't know when it could be released.

[reading-between-truth-and-lies]

Shuichi’s description has been updated. Mod Shuichi’s gonna sleep this headache away now (:

Conflict: 3/4 (kill us, this drabble was supposed to be only 2 parts)

Shuichi suppresses his worry with a gulp, and knocks. “Can I come in?” The detective manages to ask coherently. Now that both parts were together again and working in some semblance of harmony, it felt pretty close to normalcy; with an added shot of anxiety. I wonder if he heard at all through the walls? I don’t know if I like that.

Kokichi had been in his void for that last couple hours though it could have been longer. He wasn't sure. He had herd Kaito's banging but didn't feel like moving. He would just call Shu anyway.

The kistune was surprised at all to hear their voices not long after. He couldn't really make out what they were saying. Suddenly Shu's voice was right outsaid the door. All he herd was muffled noise but he didn't need to know what was said to know what was going on.

Popping halfway out of the hole the fox raised his voice only so the other could hear him through the door. "This is your room. You don't need my permission to enter." He pulled himself completely out of the hole and just sat on the floor in the dark room.

“I-I...” The detective stops and chooses not to argue the point, slowly turning the door open and stepping inside. He closes the door behind him immediately, and regrets it, since he can no longer see. Shuichi just quietly drops his briefcase to the side and shifts his weight between his feet. “Um... S-so I...” His throat’s already threatening to close up on him. Shit, this is hard Let me out... The male swallows and tries again, each second that passes feels like daggers digging into his chest. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t-... N-no, no there’s no excuse. I’m sorry, I pushed us both away without giving a reason...” Shuichi hangs his head, honestly he’s not even sure where exactly Kokichi is in the small room. 

Kokichi just shrugged his shoulders even though he knew the detective couldn't see him. He, himself could see perfectly fine.

"Like I've said many times before. Everyone has their secrets. I just didn't think you had any. Guess I was wrong. I mean its not lying if you just don't talk about it." The liar made sure to keep his voice void of emotion. He just stayed sitting next to the others desk.

Is he seriously not going to ask? Maybe we can just coast this one out- He’s distant. He doesn’t like not knowing everything. Tell him. But- Get out of my way, plebeian. Shuichi stumbles over seemingly nothing for a moment, luckily catching himself before he could make too much of an ass of himself. “Ugh... Okay. I get that you’re not in the greatest mood right now, but I’m still going to sit and tell you something important.” His anxious appearance was gone now, replaced by mild annoyance, rolling his shoulders out before stepping over to sit on the edge of his bed. “Weather you listen or not is up to you, but I recommend you do.”

Fox ears twitched at the sound of Shuichi stumbling. He looked at the detective slightly paniced but was relieved to see he had caught himself.

Then Shu was different again. Hes noticed this a few times but it was usually only small incidents. He listened to him talk. Wow this new side was really demanding...

Shaking his head out to try and rid the small blush on his face, the liar stood up and walked over to his roommates bed. He just sat down next him and kicked his legs slightly to pretend he was okay. "Hmmmm. I always listen to you. Well, almost." A small smirk spread across his face for a few seconds before it was gone."But when it's important. I do listen. I may not obey depending on what is said but I do listen."

I always like listening to you... Momo-chan too.

He kept those two thoughts to himself. The kitsune wasn't sure how the detective would react to that plus he was still a little mad at him. He was also slightly afraid he'd actually truly angered the taller boy. He was somewhat anxious so he continued to kick his feet.

Shuichi grins with a little scoff, "Of course you do. You can be a thorn in my side, but I can't deny that there's an... Appeal there."

The male sighs after that, leaning back into the bed with a grunt. "Okay, talking about My Shit time. Now, I've only ever told Kaito-kun and that was back in high school. Maki-chan heard it from him, so it'd be preferred if you kept this to yourself. I won't forgive you if-" He cranes his head up to look at the kitsune- eyes having since adjusted, and uses his fingers to make quotations "You 'Spill the tea', as some simpletons say." The detective appears to dismiss his own warning with a wave of a hand and a grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

Kokichi was not expecting him to be confident. He liked it but had no idea how to respond to him. He finally figured out to deal with him when he was shy and that obviously was out the window now. He was at a loss and he really hated it. It was as if he was talking to a completely different person which really didn't help his fight or flight responce.

The kitsune's head snapped up at being told he wouldn't be forgiven. He just stared at the detective laying next to him. His face was a mix of anger and confusion. He let his face express his inner feelings as he was confident that Shuichi couldn't see them.

It took almost a whole minute before he could figure out a responce. His voice went back to being devoid of any emotion. " I... Uh... I don't see why I would do that." He looked forward at his legs again and furrowed his brows.

While the room was silent, the detective was at war internally once again. No no no! You're screwing this up! Why?! Quiet down, you're giving me a headache- You give me one all the time! And I could throw you back in the driver’s seat and let you deal with all this. ... Thought so, yellow-belly. Why do you insult everyone you meet? Why do you cower? ... I still hate you. Shuichi snaps back to attention, gripping his head painfully "I'm s-sorry. He wants to lock me away because of the wreckage I cause, not that I completely agree with him on that point." He knows he's stalling. "Ugh, fuck it. The sooner I explain, the sooner I can sleep this pain away." The male slowly sits up, wincing at the ice-pick stabbing into his brain, grunting out “I-I have D.I.D... Dissociative Identity Disorder. ‘Other Specified Dissociative Disorder’, is what’s written in my med chart ‘m pretty sure... Shit, this hurts...”

Kokichi listened to him talk. He didn't like that this was hurting him. "D.I.D..." He mumbled it slightly under his breath only to look at him with a worried look. He grabbed onto the detectives arm without thinking as he asked. "Is this hurting you? I-Is there anything I can do to help?" He hesitated before noticing he was holding onto his arm and let go before asking. "A-Am I causing the pain?"

The detective doesn’t flinch away and shakes his head vehemently, earning himself  enough pain for black dots to dance across his vision. “N-no, the fact you’re not running away or blowing up my head with questions is m-more then we could ask for. Switching can hurt like a bitch. It’s really bad righ’ now for some reason.” It takes a few seconds but Shuichi does manage to explain why, scratching gently across his scalp; trying to ease the pounding between his ears “P-probably because I blew up not long ago. Everyone who knows me agrees that I need to stay away from people when I do that.”

Kokichi let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He looked at the detective still worried. "Why would I run? And no I don't really. I may not know much about it but I'd rather learn by watching you."

The kitsune tilted his head. "Blow up? Uh okay. But this really doesn't seem normal and you seem fine to me. Your more confident but thats all I have gotten so far." He lets out a shaky breath. "but I am causing you pain cause I am keeping you out. I'd rather you go back to normal so you can stop being in so much pain." He then added very quietly "I... Don't like it..."

Shuichi grunts, holding his tongue. This is my normal for fucks sake! No one likes you, that’s why I’m always out. “I don’t have complete control over that but... I’ll try.” He speaks with a distinct air of exhausted resignation. Shuichi lays back down slowly and curls up into a ball. And there he stays for a while with his eyes shut tight, motionless.  Take it. Take the wheel back. I’m done. I’m only concerned for Kokichi-kun... A little later, the detective’s body twitches. “... Oww...” He whimpers.

Kokichi crawls over to the other male. He lays down on his side just watching the other for a couple seconds before letting out a sigh. Well, that had gone terrible... He moved to laying on his back now watching the ceiling. He wondered if there was anything he could have done to make that go better. He probably had just had made that other part pissed at him. He was good at doing that no matter how hard he tries not to. 

Hearing the detective whimper the kitsune rolled back onto his side. He furrowed his eyebrow's as Shuchi still seemed to be in pain. “It didn’t help...” He let out an annoyed huff and was back onto his back glaring at the ceiling. He wasn’t mad at the other, it was more cause he was at a lost at what to do. He just wanted to help Shu... He let out another sigh and sat up. “I’ll get Momota. He’ll be able to help you at least.” He then moved to start getting off the bed by trying to climb over the half ghost. 

Shuichi laid there, usual consciousnesses ebbing back into his bones. Until he heard Kokichi’s words and then movement. “Noo...” The male tiredly reaches out for the kitsune, loosely grasping at the other’s shirt, “Y-you don’t need t’ go... Don’t...”  No, don’t bother Kaito-kun... Stay with me... Too unstable... White, hot emotion swells up in his chest and the detective sobs quietly, releasing his shaky grip a second later. “ ‘m sorry. You sh-shouldn’t be dealing with m-me...” Shuichi covers his face, unable to handle the other seeing his tear-stained face “D-damnit, damnit all...”

Kokichi blinked as his shirt was grabbed, keeping him firmly above the other. He ignored the heat to his face and chose to listened to the detective below him. The sob had erased any red from his face in seconds however. He moved back and laid back down next to the taller male. This time he laid down in away so he could pull his Shu into a hug. 

“I am here cause I want to be Shu.” He took a deep breath and decided telling the other his own thoughts would be better. “Look we both suck at this shit but I am over my petty anger. I really had no right to even be angry in the first place but that’s not important right now.” Another intake of breath before he continued. “I am not mad at you. Not at any part of you. I just want to help but I don’t know how. It’s really annoying and stupid.” He snorts slightly. “an’ being a leader and all it’s down right shameful!” He huffs in pout trying to be a little playful. 

The detective desperately clings for a moment before relaxing for the first time since walking into the room and nods his head in response to Kokichi, too emotional to even try to use his voice right that second. 

Shuichi’s receptive to the kitsune’s joke, a choked puff of mirth escaping his lips. He sniffles pathetically but starts pulling himself together. “Th-thank you. I wish I-I could tell you something you could do b-but... There’s no quick f-fix for... This.” The brief, lighter feeling his chest was extinguished after saying that. “I’m sorry... ‘made this worse again... I just need painkillers and sleep...”

Kokichi relaxed himself feeling the taller male relax. He huffed at the quick fix comment. “That’s not what I meant. You don’t need fixing. I got to see a small bit of a side of you that most don’t get to see. I do wanna see that side again but only when it’s not gonna cause you pain. I was talking about the headache.” 

The kitsune flipped his tails in annoyance, shaking his head. “Nope! You didn’t do a thing! I just need to learn how to deal with all of you and not just this part. Once I do this won’t happen again cause then I won’t activate my stupid fight or flight response.” Honestly he was more annoyed that, that even happened. He acted like Shu was a stranger but he’s not! He just saw a side he wasn't use to nothing more, nothing less. 

“But-” Shuichi gives up on whatever point he was about to make. He pulls away from the hug to wipe his eyes, “O-okay. I won’t try to rebut any of that... Except, just... D-don’t blame yourself.” He wants to prove that he’s finally feeling better, and the only way he knows how to do that, is to smile. It’s small, but he tries.  I wonder what he was doing... No, I’ll ask him another day. “My head still aches but I think I’m stabilizing.” He stares at his hands, adding mindlessly “He went to sleep, so my head’s going to be a little empty for a while. hehe...” 

Kokichi just grinned up at him. “all right! It’s a deal!” His two tails thump against the bed as he was glad to see the other was feeling better. He nodded his head. “Then you should too! And I’ll be your guard fox!” He still hasn’t let the detective go from the hug liking his warmth to much.

"A-a guard fox?" He tilts his head in thought. Shuichi was becoming aware that dispite letting go, Kokichi was still holding him. And it didn't feel terrible, either.

The male hums, which turns into a yawn, "If that's what you want then, okay." He relents easily.

[reading-between-truth-and-lies]

Shuichi speed walks out of his room and straight into Kaito's unannounced, eyes gleaming with jubilant excitement "There's going to be a new Sherlock Holmes game, there's going to be a new Sherlock Holmes game, holy shit! There's a new Sherlock Holmes game!"

Kaito startles from his bed, attention ripped from his computer screen. While he was used to distractions thanks to a certain kitsune, the (now typically) quiet detective waltzing in was something he'd never quite adjust to; no matter how long he's known Shuichi. "I-I heard you the first time, sidekick-"

"-And they're not going to guide players at all, and it's going to be an open world and Sherlock's young and investigating his mother's death on an island and-!" The detective trails off, practically bouncing with the kind of enthusiasm that would throw anyone for a loop.

The werewolf just shakes his head in amusement and sighs, closing his laptop. There was no stopping the other when this sort of excitement hit. The best thing for Shuichi (And the quickest solution so the taller male could get back to his homework) was for Kaito to simply listen. At least it was the healthier obsession this time, though Kaito still wasn't entirely sure how to deal with the softer boy essentially vibrating in front of him. "Okay, alright, just take a deep breath, Shuichi."

"Okay." The half ghost replies impulsively, not quite processing the request.

Kaito frowns slightly, "You didn't do it."

"Damn it!" The shorter male exclaims "Okay, I'm going to do it." And does, closing his eyes. Inhaling through his nose, holding for a few seconds, and exhaling through his mouth.

"Better?"

"B-better. Thanks Kaito-kun."

[reading-between-truth-and-lies]

Conflict, part 2 of 3 (yes, three now oof)

Not long later, the detective forces himself visible and shuffles to the back of the library, to the small rooms he knew too well. Luckily, most of them were open. Shuichi walked inside one, locked the door and blocked out the windows; collapsing into a chair to clutch his head.

*t’s m* t*rn **w It’s my turn now! o-okay...

He can finally sigh in relief, leaning back in his chair. “Pity we had to make such a stink out of it... Oh well!” The detective chortles. The lighthearted mirth was quickly replaced by an unshackled rumble from his throat, eyeing his briefcase hungrily. “Finally...” Shuichi removes the folder Kyoko-san gifted him earlier, spreading all of its guts on the plain table in front of him. “Lab reports, testimonies and interviews... And photos...” The male stares reverently at the array of gory crime scene photos, holding one in particular between his thumb and forefinger “Tell me, who did this to you, my dear~?” He allows himself to study the ill fated woman for a moment longer before putting it down again to bringing a small tube to his eyes instead “And physical evidence too? Good, my magnifying glass was just getting dusty.”

To say the detective inhaled murder cases would be an understatement. In mere moments, the room looked like a chaotic hurricane, and Shuichi a devil in the eye of the storm. Double-breasted coat long since discarded and hair hauntedly disheveled, “How did you do this though... How did you destroy the murder weapon? Answer me that!” The male has since begun pacing around in a circle, surround by photos, like a silent audience watching him. “How would I perform this vanishing act? Hah.” The answer was clear, “As clear as water, hardened to ice!” He rushes to weld a pen like a knife, examining it as if it was something more then a basic blue ball-point pen, “Of course, ice is brittle... Elemental magic to strengthen it? With no accomplice, that leaves us with a magic user, now that’s useful!” Shuichi reaches back and forth from the desk, writing; completing a profile of his little rat. “Damn buffoons never ran tests for advanced magical remnants did they? No, of course not.”

Some small, weak part of his mind always says that ‘this’ll be the last time I let this happen’ or ‘I’ll be better next time’ but they’re lies. He’s spent so long winning this game, the perpetrator is well within grasp of the police now, just so tantalizingly close. It was intoxicating, “The kind of poison that would make most people turn to sin, wouldn’t it?” Shuichi can barely contain himself as he carefully collects the contents of the folder, putting everything away; except the photos, and his profile notes. “What a sick fuck...Hahahe it’s a work of art!~” The detective would never willingly admit to what he does next. What he does every time there’s a case like this plopped in his lap. He relieves all his pent up excitement.

It isn’t until he comes off his high that Shuichi feels the distinctive shift throughout his entire body and mind. And shame. “N-not again...” The detective quickly finishes tidying up with shaky fingers, wiping away tears when they’d form.

Kaito sighed as he got to his dorm only to find that it had been locked. He didn’t usually carry his key on him sense he was usually with his sidekick, who always had his key. He banged on the door a few times, he could hear the kitsune rummaging around in there.

After a few minutes of the fox obviously ignoring the werewolf, Kaito sighed heavily and pulled out his phone. He called Shuichi and spoke the minute the other end was picked up.  “The damn fox locked me out of the dorm again.” 

The detective's voice was raspy and weak "H-huh? O-oh..." But he swallows thickly to speak a little clearer, too bad his mental processing wasn't so easily repairable.

I hate you. ... I really do. zzz...

"I'll be there... In a couple minutes..." Shuichi redoubles his efforts to pack up and float out of there.

Kaito blinked at how his sidekick sounded. He hummed a bit before asking. “Ah, You got one of those cases again huh. I am actually surprised you didn’t work in your room.”

"Me and Kokichi-kun had a fight. K-kind of..." Shuichi simply states with a sigh, wiping the last of his tears; he's worn. Too worn down for tears, or much of anything by this point. "I tried to pass him off onto you, but I can understand why that didn't pan out now..." Passing up through walls and floors, it isn't more then a few minutes before the male's grounding himself in the same hallway Kaito was.

Kaito listened to the detective. Once he noticed the half ghost appearing in the hall, he hung up his phone and was quickly over to great him. He did continued the conversation. “A fight? Well I can understand why he won’t let me in then. Honestly I didn’t think a fight between you two could ever happen really. You gonna be alright though?” 

Shuichi leans into the astronaut slightly. Not quite asking for an embrace, more so for something sturdy to rest on as his mind recovers. "He said he... Um." For the first time since, he's trying to recall what was even said, eyebrows furrowing in thought. Everything about that was blurry. "... He said something about having things to do alone as well? A-and then Kokichi-kun got a phone call..."

Kaito wrapped an arm around the detective only to help support him. He slowly started to lead them back to the door. He frowned keeping his eyes forward as he walked the few feet. “That’s doesn’t sound too good... Who the hell would be so important to call. Let alone the Future Foundation not knowing about it.”

The detective lets Kaito lead him to the door as he fishes out his keys, "The tone I-I heard for a moment, it-" Shuichi feels like he's on the brink of something, but the last couple pieces weren't slotting together. Perhaps his mental fingers, much like the literal fingers on his keys, were too shaky to hold them correctly. However, Shuichi still managed to get the door open. "That can wait, we need to see how he's doing."

Kaito nodded his head in agreement. “Yea, I agree. I think I just herd him duck into your room. Do you need help getting there?” Part of him really hopped he would say yes as he was enjoying being this close to the detective. 

Shuichi shrinks in on himself "N-no, it's okay Kaito-kun... I... I couldn't ask you to do that." He was fine. He had to be fine; as he's stepping into their dorm, unintentionally pulling the werewolf along with.

Kaito sighed and wish the detective would just learn to accept help already. He was going to help either way. He smiled to himself letting the half ghost pull him along. They do say actions are better then words. Plus this was a great excuse to stay close to him.

The worn male doesn't have it in him to complain that pulling the werewolf was going to get tiring quick. Instead, all he asks is this, "Can you shut the door behind us, p-please?"

Mmng, I'm back. Oh joy- Kaito-kun's as warm and needy as usual- Why are we not checking on the kitsune?

"I was getting to that..." Shuichi ends up muttering under his breath. He cranes his neck to look at the other "I-I'm not sure what would be better, me walking in alone, or both of us..."

Kaito does shut the door behind them using his foot. He heard the mutter but knew he was talking to... Well... Himself. The werewolf  just shrugs his shoulders. "Honestly I am not sure. I mean I don't even know what happened besides you two had some sort of fight. I'll do whatever makes you more comfortable."

Shuichi hums softly, weighing his options.

We could completely fail or chicken out if we try alone- And if we bring Kaito-kun along it could drive Kokichi into a deeper corner than he already is, then we’ll be in an even worse place.

“I-it’s my business I... We screwed up, we’ll fix it.” He gives the werewolf the best reassuring nod and grin he could muster and gently tries to detach himself from the other. “Of course, I don’t know what to tell him...”

Kaito nodded letting the detective peel himself away from him. "The truth. He'll know if your lying anyway so there really is no point to that."

The detective looks like he really wants to fight that point. But he can’t. “I-I... Know...” He takes a preparing breath and holds it-

How are we doing this? I’ll do it- No. Why? You’re too unstable, just- I’ll do it. Says the crybaby...

Shuichi releases the air from his lungs, “Alright... Wish me luck.” And walks to his room not unlike a prisoner walking to his execution. Right when he gets to the closed door though, the male looks over at the werewolf, “Th-thank you, Kaito-kun.” He means that.

[reading-between-truth-and-lies]

Okay I am finally making a post for more (non blog spoiler) info for kokichi plus his powers. My brain has been all over the place lately and I haven’t been able to get myself to sit down on work on this. so here we go! Will add more if need be.

So Kokichi being a kitsune is a big deal as we are having that in this world Kitsunes are very rare to run into as they usually stay in their own realm. They are also very powerful so are usually feared or worshiped. 

He is actually a mix between an Inari (good/helpful kitsunes) and a black Kitsune (dark/malicious tricksters). Depending on how he uses his powers he could become either or. There is a possibility he could just stay a mix however. This won’t be a set in stone thing till he reaches five tails. 

The Bird is a dangerous/disastrous meltdown he cannot control. It’s called that cause every time one ends he’ll lie saying a bird flew in and he had to get rid of it. It’s an involuntary lie he uses to convince even himself. These fits started sixteen years ago. Only Shuichi and Kaito know of these. No one has ever witnessed him have one only the aftermath. He makes a point get himself into a place where there is no one if he can feel one coming. 

He is 221 years old ;) So I am going by the gains a tail every 100 years. He can gain tails early if he is actively developing his current powers. He got his human form at 50. D.I.C.E was created a about a decade after that. 

His powers included

Dimension building/Voids: 

He can create pocket dimensions, They can rang from little voids (black abyss of practically nothing.) to full on other worlds/anything he can imagine. 

Currently can only create voids dude to the dimension that he created for D.I.C.E main head quarters being too much for him at the time of creation. 

The voids are also all connected to each other. 

If the main void is closed all items in it will just fall out. 

For more solid dimensions once created they cannot be changed. He can add things but can’t remove them unless done physically. 

If a dimension is destroyed then everything inside is destroyed as well.

Fox Fire: 

A blue flame that he can manipulate/control. 

he can not be harmed by these flames unless created by another kitsune. 

Illusions: 

He has two types mental and physical.

Mental- 

Are ones created to confuse and mess with the mind.

Only the person/s affected can see these. 

they are not physically real but do look it

These can last as long as he is using it and the person/s are in his sight range. 

he must see or know of a persons presence to use this. 

Physical-

these manipulate the real world and affect anyone around them 

are used to distract, deter, protect or even harm. 

Once made they can not be removed unless by Kokichi himself

He is not affected by them 

can range from simple mist/gas to liberate labyrinths 

can look and feel real but do not affect any actual surroundings.

Heeeeyyyy soooooo

If there was a long drabble with no apparent context up on the blog for a few minutes, don't worry about it. Mod Shuichi learned the hard way to post important things on desktop instead of mobile. It's been deleted for now xP

Cheers!~ Mod Shuichi

[reading-between-truth-and-lies]

Heres a drabble for you all taking place after our kitsune got his modified phone from Miu and Shuichi obtained Kirigiri's file , intitled:

Conflict

part 1 of 2(?)

What's in the folder? I need to see the file- let me look at the file!

The consistent pounding in the detective’s head the rest of the day made sitting through his classes a slog.

Thank you Kirigiri-san, I'm now much closer to losing it entirely...

Hey-

No.

Yes?

I’m not doing this.

Of course, if she was to be believed, there truly was an emergency his sensei had to resolve. And Shuichi knows damn well not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.

His knee bounces when he isn't paying attention to it.

As soon as his last class was out for the day, he's texting Kaito while speaking to the kitsune. "Can you go to the study group with Kaito-kun? This case demands my full attention. S-sooner rather then later."

Kokichi blinked but pouted. “No fair! You get to skip class but I can’t! I only have to be in these stupid things so I am not locked up 24/7.” He crossed his arms over his chest looking up at the detective with a raised eyebrow. “If you get to go back to the dorm then I should too.” He moved to be looking at his nails with his arms still crossed. “Besides I have stuff I would rather be doing back at the dorm as well.”

“Kokichi-kun I-” Shuichi knows arguing like this would only be pointless and shuts his mouth for a moment. He mulls over his words while back-spacing on the text he was about to shoot Kaito. Finally, the detective sighs, shoulders sagging “Please?... I... Don’t work with others around.” The male eyes the floor, “... If you want t-to back to the dorm, that’s okay. But then I’ll walk to the library and use a quiet study room...” Those small rooms were sound-proof, and being able to cover over the windows looking out on the rest of the library was a nice plus.

Kokichi wondered why he was so addiment about this. It was just some stupid case... He most likely wouldn’t even be paying attention to him. He had things to do. He huffs slightly tapping his foot slightly but letting out a sigh. “Fine. Whatever. As long as I can go back to the dorm. Where you go is none of my concern right now. I just want to be in the void for a while that’s all.”

He exhales out of his nose, looking back at his phone. It wouldn’t work, not long enough for the kitsune anyway. And yet, the detective grins faintly. “O-okay. Uhm. N-new plan-” Shuichi sucks in a breath of air, texting the werewolf anew “I’ll stay at the dorm but Kaito-kun will join us- or, well, you mostly.”

Why not request Loony to come back as well? It might cheer up the rascal and be a distraction while so I can do my work from the comfort of my room?

Kokichi only pursed his lips. “So no matter what I chose I won’t be allowed into the void.” He chewed on his bottom lip for second before realizing something. “Don’t call Momota. I’ll just go into the bathroom or something. I have work to do and I can’t have Momo-chan distracting me. If you want to be alone in your room fine but I also have things to do you know. This ain’t all about you and your stupid case.” He pulled his phone out scanning it as he spoke. “Can we please come to some sort of decision. I for one need to get back to the dorm and if we can’t I am going back by myself”

I’ve screwed up. I need to fix this now.

The pounding in Shuichi’s head was unbearable, the added pain in his chest surely wasn’t helping to positively influence this situation at all. “I-I’ll just go to the library, then. H-how’s that? Then we can b-both be alone.”

I shou*dn’t le* *his ha*p*** *to*

The detective slides his phone away into his pocket, mind frying with a blank facial expression “I’ll... let one of you know when ‘m done.” In a last ditch attempt to just get out of this, the male just nods and walks off with his briefcase in hand.

Kokichi blinks at his behavior. He’s acting just as desperate as he was. He’s hiding something. Something that Kaito has to know about. He was really worried and pissed. 

The kitsune would have gone after him and demand what was wrong with him but his phone started going off signaling a phone call. “Shit.” He waited too long. He really hadn’t thought Shuichi would fight him so hard on this. 

He answered the phone heading back to the room not caring if he was over herd at the moment. “Give me a sec I am not at the secure location. Ran into some unexpected bumps. I will be secure in a moment. Do. Not. Do anything till I call back.” He switch to leader mode the second he answered the call. All other thoughts gone as he hit the end button then took off back to the dorm. 

The detective’s ears pick up the first few words from Kokichi’s apparent phone call but simply carries on. He won’t remember what little he heard, what will stick like glue was the tone Shuichi heard from the kitsune for a moment. A few more steps and he can’t hold his solid form any more and disappears. Without a body and without Kokichi, his mind slowly clears up a little. Which was worse, honestly.

Mod Shuichi here-

Thanks to an awesome thread we’ve gotten, I’ve been given a perfect opportunity to introduce an OC I’ve been work shopping for a while now.

Here’s the link to the maker I used for this photo.

This is Kuro, The Ultimate Theatrical Prodigy (Ultimate Theatre, for short!)

He’s your guy for anything revolving around the stage. He’s currently the director of the theater department as well as a student. He’s a talented actor but actually prefers to work behind the scenes, slotting into the plethora of other jobs in theater. He wears a carefree yet dramatic disposition but underneath it he cares deeply for the department and the many people who call the place their second home. 

Kuro is a silver-haired neko standing at 5 feet 9 inches, with golden irises.

His usual clothes are floor-length black robes in different styles, sometimes pinning flowers or other accessories to them. The neko is known for paring the robes with fedoras on occasion.

Both me and Mod Kokichi have OCs but we only intend to sprinkle them in occasionally for world building/plot. (yes, there is a plot. it’s just very slow right now. xP)

~Cheers!

Mod Shuichi here

First off, sorry for the lack of posts here the last few days, we were doing all we could to get this blog up and running and needed a break once that was done (we've got more stuff in the works for you guys).

Second, I'm dropping a little tidbit of world building right now :)

Hope's Peak schedules a "Home Room/Casual Study Time" for students, devided into groups (sometimes refered to as classes). This is to ensure that Ultimates keep socializing, since there's no "Class xx" structure in collage. The staff do their best to sort the students into groups with similarities, which is how everyone from v3 got grouped together.

No one in this group actually went to any Hope's Peak affiliated school before collage. For most of them, they simply weren't scouted until after high school/senior year, or couldn't move to a closer location to the schools.

Thats all for now, cheers! ~Mod Shuichi

( I am sorry for suddenly not posting again.

One of my pets rats died eariler today and my body decided to cope by being in and out of sleep. Hopefully tomorrow the brain fog will clear and I can do stuff. I really want to!

Also will be putting up a little announcement tomorrow if possible for a certain event. ;)

(Mod Kokichi here to first say I was busy all most of the day. Now I am dealing with a major headed ache and cant think. Also Kokichi muse has been a little shit and running off when I planned to write.

Oh another note this thing I was busy with was playing Minecraft with Mod Shuichi as Kokichi and Shuichi respectively. Here are some highlights that no one asked for. 

Shuichi managing to piss off a whole race of polar bears. Without even know how.

Kokichi wearing a speedo all for like an hr. before it “broke”. (which he didn’t notice)

Kokichi being sucker punched into lava by a polar bear then again by a pigmen. 

Shuichi being mauled by four polar bears and now has a new fear. Cue him screaming at every polar bear while Kokichi laughs. 

Kokichi hording stuff for fireworks and not telling Shuichi what they were for. 

Shuichi throwing paper into lava right as Kokichi told him not too.)

( so something me and Mod Shuichi have realized:

We may have fucked over Kaito as the Ultimate Astronaut by making him a werewolf.

But are we gonna change this? Nope.)
