Throwing out a Permanent Uncapped Starter/Plotter Call for Haru! Liking this post will give both you and I (It’s a two way street round here) the ability to:

Send asks of any sort whenever you please, regardless if I have a meme up or not.

DM on any platform available we’re comfortable on about literally anything at any time, out of character.

Send starters and minis at any time without asking. I personally prefer to DM before writing, but you may do as you please. This also applies to plotting.

GENERAL INFO:

Born January 1st, Haru Ichinose is a 15 year old girl who has an energetic and cheery personality. Fueled by a fiery, optimistic soul, Haru finds it very easy to trust people, and believes in the best of everyone. Caring, sweet, independent, and forgiving, Haru is a girl who has lost everything and has grown because of it. A survivor at her core, she has scars all over her body that proves her ability to rise from the ashes over and over. She also has a knack for habitually referring to herself in the third person. If you need more info, please feel free to read her app or ask me personally! Some relationships you can have with her are:

FRIENDS:

Haru loves making friends! If you’ve talked to Haru for a little bit, she’s probably willing to trust you enough to hang out with you, and have a grand old time. Friends might not know everything about Haru, but Haru loves to treat people right all the time, so it can be quite easy to get a friendship with her. This isn’t to say that she is oblivious or naive tho (which she is), because she also is smart enough to do what she knows is right.

ENEMIES:

This can be a little harder for Haru to have. Due to Haru’s selfless and forgiving nature, it is quite hard to maintain a permanent relationship where Haru views you as an enemy. Sure, Haru has some strong ideals, and if you threaten her life, Haru will fight back in some form, but once it’s all said and done, Haru is more than happy than leave it as water under the bridge. If you think you can make Haru not forgive you, or if you want to see a darker side to Haru that rarely gets shown, this might be for you.

ROMANCE:

Now it’s time for the fun stuff! I personally am really interested in writing a romantic relationship with Haru (actually the main reason why I’m putting this out), but to get here, we’re gonna have to thread a little bit first. Haru isn’t one to fall in love instantly, so it might take a bit, but once you’re there, Haru will entrust her life to you without a second thought. Haru wants to feel like she’s at home with a person like this; a romantic relationship with Haru is a cute, innocent, and adorable puppy love garnished with a little bit of angst. Haru loves you, and she just wants to play video games and cuddle with that special someone.

There are a couple of things to note about this, however:

Haru is fifteen years old, meaning she is a minor. She will not reach an adult age for quite some time in Isola. This means I will not accept any muse who isn’t a minor as well, at the time of this post. Ideally, the muse would be 14 to 17 years of age. This also means I will absolutely not tolerate smut or sexual content between them. Things like kissing, cuddling, and hugging are free game, but any nudity (if any) should only be nonsexual at all times, no exceptions. Things like visiting a hot spring together is fine, because it’s not inherently sexual, for example. Please try to always run something by me if it includes any nudity, even if you think the nudity isn’t harmful.

Haru is canonically lesbian. She is not interested in dating men. If you are to have a romantic relationship with her, your muse must consider themselves female.

If you think you fit the bill for this/are interested in this, I’m willing to test some chemistry and slowly build up to them dating!

OTHER:

Any ideas I missed? Thought of something that might be a good fit for your muse and Haru? Please, let me know! I’m always down to entertain new ideas, and my DMs are open for that! Give this a like if you’re interested, but don’t see what you envisioned!

And that’s all for now! I hope you’ll consider liking this call, if you’re up for it. Thank you so much for reading this far! My baby means a lot to me, and I’m glad you were able to give me the time of day. With that said, please, have a good day/afternoon/night! You deserve it. Nacht, over and out.

“Hm?” Haru considers the idea. There is silence. Haru wasn’t exactly physically tough, but…

“Haru loves that idea!” She responds gleefully. “But…can we even lift this to throw it…?”

So is Lysithea, she isn’t strong too but two people will work this one out, it will work out. All they need is to believe in themselves even if they’re girls.

“Only one way to find out.” Lysithea claps her own hands about two times, breathing in and out and now focused. “You hold the right edge and i hold the left one and then throw it as hard as we can.” She’s holding the left side of the shard now, waiting for her.

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru nods furiously. “Yes, ma’am! Haru will do as you wish!” She gives a cute but sloppy salute, standing at attention.

Haru has…never been good at sports. She’s never really done stuff like that before, so she wasn’t particularly built to be strong. Her body is already scarred from all the hardships she’s been through. Yet…she was going to give it her all. Her hands grab the boulder, squatting down. “One…two…” she begins to count off.

[blackmagi]

sneezeonsunshine​:

Haru is silent. If there was anything that could shut her up, it was irrefutable proof that she had the power to control and manipulate people. She didn’t want that. She’d rather die than acknowledge it. The Primer…When would she ever have her own choices? Her own life?

“Haru is…happy you can do that, Judar,” she says with a small smile.

And then something felt odd.

The hearty feast Haru had offered suddenly tasted different without her smile. 

Many times he had purposely turned people’s expression’s upside-down, but this one? It was almost like making Kougyoku cry (he had, and he didn’t exactly enjoy it for some reason).

“What is it?” He then pointed at Haru. “Why aren’t you smiling for me anymore!” 

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Hm?” Haru says, the sunset in her soul peeking up slowly. “Oh…It’s nothing! Haru is fine, really!”

“Haru is sorry Haru stopped smiling…Haru promises to keep Haru’s smile on forever!” With that, she musters up from the depths of her rotting heart a beam of pure sunshine.

[blackmagi]

sneezeonsunshine​:

“…You never cease to amaze, Haru, High Priest,” she grumbles, in a relenting fashion. Was he ALWAYS like this? Something must’ve happened, even if the child she met so long ago was buried under the rubble of who Judar has become.

“You’ll keep hearing this again and again from Haru until you learn, you know? Strength isn’t the big thing that saves you. There’s more than meets the eye. Always.”

The food was good, tasty. It had something. He couldn’t explain what it was, but it was enough to prevent him from complaining. Not even the fabled spearhead squid of Sindria could keep him quiet.

“Hmph,” Judar scoffed arrogantly and took another bite and then a hand rose, pointing at ringed red eyes. 

“Like what? Y’know, my eyes can see beyond human flesh. I can see how strong someone is. I can see if they’re destined for greatness or not. And somehow, you’re above the others, yeah.”

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru is silent. If there was anything that could shut her up, it was irrefutable proof that she had the power to control and manipulate people. She didn’t want that. She’d rather die than acknowledge it. The Primer…When would she ever have her own choices? Her own life?

“Haru is…happy you can do that, Judar,” she says with a small smile.

[demoniomano]

sneezeonsunshine​:

Haru nods. “Haru’s not a fighter, so Haru trusts you, Lysithea,” she mentions, as she grabs the shards from the ground. She’s careful not to cut herself, as she wraps her dainty hands over the potential weapon. They almost feel heavier than they should. She’s not sure if they actually have real weight or her memories haunt her, but regardless, she strains to pick up one of the large shards.

“Whoa! This is a heavy one!” The 15 year old mentions. “Maybe Haru shouldn’t take this one, even if it gives a lot of materials?”

This one is heavy indeed. Heavier it goes it can be cumbersome for two girls. Maybe they should find something light to carry and least easy to use if they ever saw any yeti monster around the corner blocks.

Haru has a point though.

“It is.” Lysithea isn’t a fighter either. More than a mage with a demonic-named tome she was. Maybe these shards can be breakable? They will find out as it came something in her mind.

“How about if we lift that thing and throw it with full strength? Maybe we might gather some lighter ones.” Two girls against a heavy shard. How kind fate was.

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Hm?” Haru considers the idea. There is silence. Haru wasn’t exactly physically tough, but…

“Haru loves that idea!” She responds gleefully. “But…can we even lift this to throw it…?”

[blackmagi]

sneezeonsunshine​:

“Haru’s only 15!” Haru yells. “Jeez, High Priest! Learn some manners!” Haru chomps down on the burger, aggressively, as if to shut herself up.

“You really are something, you know that, High Priest?” Haru cracks a small smile, although it still feels like a frown. “Even Haru knows not to talk like that about a girl!”

“Oh, you’re fifteen. I’ve seen hags of your age. Well, kinda, almost.” The grin was wide and bright. It was almost like hanging around Kougyoku. Something similar to a warm, almost sad feeling of nostalgia. Would they even miss him? Was she sad?

“In the end, it doesn’t matter, y’know? It’s all about how strong you are. The most powerful woman I know was is a hag. Greatest hag ever.” 

[sneezeonsunshine]

“…You never cease to amaze, Haru, High Priest,” she grumbles, in a relenting fashion. Was he ALWAYS like this? Something must’ve happened, even if the child she met so long ago was buried under the rubble of who Judar has become.

“You’ll keep hearing this again and again from Haru until you learn, you know? Strength isn’t the big thing that saves you. There’s more than meets the eye. Always.”

[demoniomano]

sneezeonsunshine​:

Haru nods, sitting up. “Right!” She said, determined. “Let’s go!” she says, as she pushes herself to her feet and starts to move.

“Oh!” the teenager stirs, before taking off. “Haru’s name is Haru, by the way. It’s nice to meet you!”

“Lysithea von Cordelia. Lysithea, for short.” She’ll remember Haru as they made their move on not only fleeing from those beasts but fending for self-defense. Even without tomes, she will fight with tooth and nail even if she had complications in her health with these crests in her.

“I guess we have to find something to protect ourselves first. These shards may help, so let’s gather a few.” Temporary attention to Haru as she focuses on the road to find some big shards which it may damage these beasts as she gusssed.

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru nods. “Haru’s not a fighter, so Haru trusts you, Lysithea,” she mentions, as she grabs the shards from the ground. She’s careful not to cut herself, as she wraps her dainty hands over the potential weapon. They almost feel heavier than they should. She’s not sure if they actually have real weight or her memories haunt her, but regardless, she strains to pick up one of the large shards.

“Whoa! This is a heavy one!” The 15 year old mentions. “Maybe Haru shouldn’t take this one, even if it gives a lot of materials?”

[demoniomano]

sneezeonsunshine​:

Haru has been hiding in the woods for a while now. She’d finally found her way out into the Golden Ward just now…and just in time. She was pretty sure she was able to lose the yeti this time. Her parka sank with her to the diamond floor, sliding as she gasped for air under the flurries of cold rock melting on her face.

Suddenly, the shadow of a person looked over her. Sitting up, she looked at the face of a much older woman, and answered her question. “Yes! Haru was lucky enough to escape that yeti Haru ran into. Haru isn’t very special, like other people here, but Haru tries her best!”

“Guess we both share the same mutual feeling on not being special.” Lysithea relates. While there are no freaky diamond beings roaming around that this could be a good time to take a break. How to deal with those things?  They will about to find out sooner or later but right now, survive.

“We should move. They might sniff on us if we stay here for longer.” It’s a good chance to move and take her to safety while not having her magic books back for starters.

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru nods, sitting up. “Right!” She said, determined. “Let’s go!” she says, as she pushes herself to her feet and starts to move.

“Oh!” the teenager stirs, before taking off. “Haru’s name is Haru, by the way. It’s nice to meet you!”

[heart3yed]

💛 💜 ❤️ || satori nods, surprised inwardly that this CATASTROPHE has led to a friendship of sorts - if she’s being OPTIMISTIC. shifting her position in a more lax manner, resting upon the palm of her hand, she nods. ❝oh yes, that would be quite APPRECIATED.❞ a hand fishes her phone from her pocket, soggy and dripping wet. ❝wonder if this thing still works … either way, i think we can find each other on the island’s … uhm .. database.❞ slight hesitance touches her lips, as if she’s still CAUTIOUS about technology.

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru nods, with a smile. “Sure! Haru can look for you, or you can look for Haru. Haru isn’t too busy these days, so maybe we can go out for tea, or whatever you’d like! Haru’s very flexible!”

“H-A-R-U I-C-H-I-N-O-S-E,” Haru spells. “That’s how to spell Haru’s name. Let Haru if you find it, then send me something just to confirm, okay?”

[heart3yed]

💛 💜 ❤️ || ❝i like flexible, particularly if there’s a PROMISE of tea,❞ satori responds with a slim smile, playing with her device with idle fingers. ❝mm … i sent you a friend request and a message … ❞ she says, mumbles, really, DISTRACTED by technology once again. she looks up with a crooked smile. ❝i think. i can’t say i’m CONFIDENT about technology.❞

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru feels her phone buzz in her breast pocket under her vest, and looked at it to find the message Satori was referring to. “Yep! Haru got the message!” She replies enthusiastically, with a smile.

Humming a small tune, she taps her phone’s screen, and a little jingle interrupts her voice. “There! Haru’s friends with you now!” Haru giggles, a pure innocent giggle that offsets Satori’s crooked smile. “Haru will invite you over to have read sometime, okay? When this event is over.” Haru stood up, and turned to face her new friend once more. “Thank you, Satori. For everything. Haru will see you soon, okay?” With that, the 15 year old girl made her way across the shelter.

[gl1tchy-vxid]

sneezeonsunshine​:

“It’s okay!” Haru replies. “Haru knows her speech patterns are a little weird, and Haru apologizes for her bad habit; Haru’s never really spoken differently before, but Haru knows what you mean.” She sinks herself onto the back of the hot spring, with a little smile as she absorbs the warmth she missed from her family growing up.

“And yes, Haru was taught this before graduating Class Black! If Haru remembers, it has something to do with the Earth’s mantle heating the rocks below us, which then heats the water. Haru thinks it’s kind of nice.”

“Heh, yeah, it’s not something to be fixed anyway. Can’t see a reason why speaking in third-person would be harmful in any way.” 

“Ah! I don’t know what and ‘Earth’ is but I think you mean that the ground below us has heat that heats up the rocks!” Wow, Cricket never knew that before. Maybe that’s how the Seven Kingdoms and Flamesilks have fire? She heard that the moons can cause powers of some sort, so maybe that’s not a far off guess. Hey, speaking of the moons…

“Do you know why this place only seems to have one visible moon?”

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Huh?” Haru asks. “Your world has more than one moon! Wow! What planet are you from?” Haru’s always knew that different planets had different moons, and since she’s been sitting in Isola, different universes as well. It’s hard to not notice and appreciate the culturally universal differences the Stars bring together. Like magic.

“Haru appreciates your concern. Haru thinks you’re very sweet to say that, too. And yes! The liquid lava-like substance underground reaches easily to this spot, heating the water in the crater!”

[blackmagi]

sneezeonsunshine​:

“Fine, fine,” Haru grumbles, reluctantly taking the lettuce off the fast food burger and putting it on her own. “Are you sure you’re older than Haru, High Priest?” She asks, upset that a friend won’t take care of themselves.

“A balanced diet is important, you know,” Haru points out. “If Haru were truly a queen, Haru would command you to eat it, by the way. Haru wants you to be healthy whenever you can, High Priest.”

He was strangely easy to please when it came to all of his whims. Especially if the person involved was one of this ‘worhy’ kings.

“I don’t know how old you are, your clothes are strange and your kingdom is too different.” He shrugged, again his attention distracted to the ‘imperial meal’ Haru had brought as an offering.

“You sound like the old men, though. Talking about ‘healthy’ and ‘greens’ and all that. Probably you’re really old, too.” The bite was generous and filled with a divine taste. A mysterious sauce of some sorts, it was delicious and it easily changed his expression. 

“Whenever we conquer this place, you must make this the official meal of your nation. It’s good.” 

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Haru’s only 15!” Haru yells. “Jeez, High Priest! Learn some manners!” Haru chomps down on the burger, aggressively, as if to shut herself up.

“You really are something, you know that, High Priest?” Haru cracks a small smile, although it still feels like a frown. “Even Haru knows not to talk like that about a girl!”

[demoniomano]

starter ( redux ) - @sneezeonsunshine

With all the diamond and jazz going on, Lysithea wished it’s all over but it wasn’t. The diamond things are still around and it’s still snowing which bothers her enough.

What could a Gremory like herself can do without her magic? Flee as much as she can with a dictionary in her hand. Within mile by mile, there she meets someone on the road around Golden.

“I take it that you don’t want to see those things made by diamonds, aren’t you.” Lysithea sighs as they might share the same thing.

“Me either..” She had to look behind if there’s one following her or the other.

[sneezeonsunshine]

Haru has been hiding in the woods for a while now. She’d finally found her way out into the Golden Ward just now…and just in time. She was pretty sure she was able to lose the yeti this time. Her parka sank with her to the diamond floor, sliding as she gasped for air under the flurries of cold rock melting on her face.

sneezeonsunshine​:

“Really, High Priest?” Haru calls across the restaurant. “Even Haru knows that Haru has to eat their veggies, you know!” As the phrase was said, she noticed that the cashier was already coming up to them with their order. Haru exchanged some words to the staff that weren’t heard, presumably some thanks, and started to walk over with the food.

“Patty Queen isn’t good for you, anyway,” she notes. “Haru thinks you should at least attempt to have them. What’s a Chomper without the lettuce, anyway?”

He pointed at Haru accusingly as if she had committed the greatest treachery.

“No! No way! Remove that thing from my imperial snack!” Judar demanded in the same way the child Haru met under that strange occurrence would. 

“You can’t betray me like that! You’re the queen bee I’ve chosen!” His lips pressed almost tempted to say something like ‘but aren’t we friends?!’. Would he regard her as such? The young queen insisted so many times everyone had friends, even him. Almost in a strangely familiar way, just like Serendine, more than ten years ago. ‘Let’s both learn how to make friends, Judar’ - ‘I don’t wanna’, he had replied. 

“Do it,” he commanded, glaring at the meal.

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Fine, fine,” Haru grumbles, reluctantly taking the lettuce off the fast food burger and putting it on her own. “Are you sure you’re older than Haru, High Priest?” She asks, upset that a friend won’t take care of themselves.

“A balanced diet is important, you know,” Haru points out. “If Haru were truly a queen, Haru would command you to eat it, by the way. Haru wants you to be healthy whenever you can, High Priest.”

[gl1tchy-vxid]

sneezeonsunshine​:

“Oh?” Haru said, as she opened one eye to look at the person wading through the water to reach her. It was times like these she was happy she was able to fit her body underwater. It’s harder to see the scars if they’re covered in steam.

Haru met the contained excitement with a smile. “Well, this is Haru’s first time in a spring in this world, but Haru has been to an onsen before,” she mentions, nicely. “Back in Haru’s world, Onsens were like natural hot tubs! Haru thinks bathing in big ones is the best! Just follow Haru’s lead; slowly dip yourself into the water, and relax! It’s easy!”

“Ah, you have an odd speech pattern. Uh but please don’t be offended!” 

“Ooo, in my world we don’t have these ‘Onsens’. We actually also don’t have snow either. Actually there might be in the mountains but mainly it’s just grasslands with few trees.” 

“Well, yes I know how these work, but I’ll try it!” Cricket stepped in the pool slowly next to the girl. Nice and warm. “Do you know how the water gets warm naturally?” 

[sneezeonsunshine]

“It’s okay!” Haru replies. “Haru knows her speech patterns are a little weird, and Haru apologizes for her bad habit; Haru’s never really spoken differently before, but Haru knows what you mean.” She sinks herself onto the back of the hot spring, with a little smile as she absorbs the warmth she missed from her family growing up.

@sneezeonsunshine

Cricket was currently in the offsen/onsen to warm up. She was almost fully submerged, the water reaching the base of her wings.  Cricket had been in water before and felt it, but being submerged like this was… weird. The dragon looked closely at the water and was playing in it, trying to see how it worked.

Maybe she should ask one of these reading monkeys that she saw so frequently. She always wanted to know about them anyways. So she stood up and waded through the water to the edge of the pool. The one that caught her eyes was a red furred reading monkey. 

“Um, hi!” Cricket tried to contain her obvious excitement of seeing and speaking to one. The Hivewings slowly walked to it, hoping to not startle it, her reduced size hopefully helped. “Do you know how this ‘offsen onsen’ thing works? And wow, your paws, perfect for holding books right? Hehe.”

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Oh?” Haru said, as she opened one eye to look at the person wading through the water to reach her. It was times like these she was happy she was able to fit her body underwater. It’s harder to see the scars if they’re covered in steam.

Haru met the contained excitement with a smile. “Well, this is Haru’s first time in a spring in this world, but Haru has been to an onsen before,” she mentions, nicely. “Back in Haru’s world, Onsens were like natural hot tubs!

sneezeonsunshine​:

“Again, High Priest, this is not Haru’s banquet. Just some burgers for the both of us.” Haru groans, before emitting a heavy sigh from her diaphragm. However, there was a hint of a smile on her face after she rolled her eyes, even if she was being a little stern.

Turning around, she skipped towards the table, and began to order. “Hello there! Haru would like two Chompers, please! No need for fries or drinks.”

The cashier nods, and says, “Two Dust, please.”

Haru hovers her phone over the keypad, and after half a second, there’s a beep. “Thank you! I’ll take that receipt, by the way.” With that, she steps to the side to wait for the order.

It didn’t matter how many months had passed, in his mind there would still be a palace, kings, queens, princes, princesses and all that. The way of life the new people of the strange city had would one way or another end up being his own version of the story.

He waited for Haru, a hand on the table supporting his head as he stared ahead, starting to get bored. And even after all those days in Spirale, still felt strange to have someone share a meal with him. The veiled priests would always assure he ate alone, because of his sacred status as a magi. 

But here?… Here there was freedom. 

However, Haru shouldn’t know that! His dangerous secrets and miserable life was better left unsaid.

Judar would stare at Haru from the table, dark eyelids narrowing as he studied the girl and her “servants”. Was she paying them? Odd. Still, they complied and soon his hunger would be gone. 

“Remember, no green stuff! I hate it. Yeah, and I mean vegetables!”

[sneezeonsunshine]

“Really, High Priest?” Haru calls across the restaurant. “Even Haru knows that Haru has to eat their veggies, you know!” As the phrase was said, she noticed that the cashier was already coming up to them with their order.
