Headcanon Questions!

[ 🦇 ]ㅤ ㅤwhat is a fear they never talk about ?

Answered here!

[ 💼 ]ㅤ ㅤwhat do they always carry with them ?

Beat's Inventory:

Wallet with around 3,000 yen in it (in case ShibuPay isn't accepted) & a picture of him, Shiki, Neku, and Rhyme at Hachiko

Cell phone

Headphones made by CAT to boost his Soundsurf ability

Peppermint candy in jacket pocket that he forgot to take out and he forgot it's in there (was initially going to give it to Rhyme)

Headcanon Questions!

[ 🦇 ]ㅤ ㅤwhat is a fear they never talk about ?

Beat dislikes extremely deep water. Not entirely because of the shark Noise that got Rhyme. But, the idea of being in an expansive open space that goes down further than Beat can comprehend makes him feel small. Being on the beach is fun and he loves it, and he'd have no problems on a boat either. He'd surf all day if he could. But he'd get nervous if he had to dive into the open ocean.

[extremepath]

"Ahh... That changes things." Joshua hums as he starts to consider exactly which story to tell. He has plenty, he's known Sanae for so long...

"Hmm... What immediately comes to mind isn't so much a story as it is a fun fact. You might find it difficult to believe, but Hanekoma is superstitious about photos. He thinks it takes a snapshot of his soul."

[soundsurfing]

"Seriously?" Beat stares at Joshua incredulously for a moment. That was... certainly weird to think about. It wasn't so funny as it was strange to imagine Hanekoma having such an outlandish anxiety.

...Okay, it was a little funny.

"Heh... I guess Shibuya's got all kinda types, huh?"

Headcanon Questions!

[ 🖐️ ]ㅤ ㅤwhat do their hands feel like: soft, calloused, trembling ?

Beat's hands do have callouses from spending so much time skating outdoors, and also from all the work he does while baking. He also doesn't moisturize as much as he should, so his skin is often dry.

[ 💤 ]ㅤ how do they sleep ? curled up, sprawled, holding onto something ?

Beat tends to sleep completely sprawled out, taking up as much space as he can. He sleeps on his back, but when he wakes up he usually finds that he's rolled onto his side and is hugging a pillow. He's also a really deep sleeper and can sleep through a lot of noise and commotion.

[ 🔒 ]ㅤ what is a secret they’ve sworn never to tell ?

... Beat's parents were physically abusive toward him. The days that Beat ran out of their home were usually the days that he got hit after an argument went nuclear. The only person who knows this is Rhyme, and Beat has asked her not to tell his friends. He doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't want to think about it.

[ 🫳 ]ㅤ ㅤwho do they feel they owe, but never paid back ?

Hanekoma. Hanekoma rescued both Beat and Rhyme after Rhyme's erasure. He let Beat stay with him and fed him for multiple days before Beat ran away to join the Reapers. He feels as if he hasn't properly payed Hanekoma back for what he did for them.

[ 🎀 ]ㅤ what is their main love language ?

Physical affection all the way. Beat is a very touchy guy, from giving his friends hugs, to affectionate noogies, to punching shoulders and slinging his arms around their shoulders. If Beat is in your space, it's because he's comfortable with you. One of his favorite things to do with Neku is to sink all his weight against his back and just hang out like that.

[ 🔦 ]ㅤ who do they search for ?

Neku, lol. He searched for Neku for three years. He did not stop searching for him for three years.

[ 🍻 ]ㅤ what kind of drunk are they ?

Beat is a very emotional drunk. He'd get all sappy and tell people that he loves them and probably cry if something triggered his feelings. Beat does actually drink alcohol casually sometimes, but not to the point where he gets shitfaced enough to start acting this way.

[ 🌀 ]ㅤ do they have a recurring dream or nightmare ?

Oh yes. Beat doesn't have them as much as he used to, but he still has nightmares about his and Rhyme's deaths...and about Rhyme getting erased by that shark Noise. Ever since the second game, however, he's had recurring dreams of Shibuya getting destroyed by hundreds of birds.

At work now, but I want to draw more Beets…

Send me in one of these for me to draw Beat!

[dead-kids-calling]

"I know but you...I don't..." he can barely hear Beat over the voice in his own head screaming at him not to waste resources

And he can't make it up to Beat for all the time he wasted looking for him if Beat gives him something in return! So he CAN'T take the money! He CAN'T

"I'm fine! Really! You hold onto that! Spend it on...I dunno something for Rhyme or something!" Anything but him

Don't waste it on him

[soundsurfing]

Why the hell is Neku so upset? Beat doesn't get it. While Neku may not intend on it, Beat feels a bit...condensed to. What the hell is he supposed to spend 700 yen on for Rhyme? Computer parts? Yeah, right. Beat wasn't dumb enough to not realize how expensive electronics were.

"If it bothers you that much then just pay me back later, man. Why you getting so worked up?" When was the last time Beat saw Neku this worked up about something? He can't remember.

[soundsurfing]

[extremepath]

"I think I'll pass."

[soundsurfing]

"Aight." Whatever. Beat's actually thought of something he's more curious about right now anyway.

"So, I gotta question for ya instead. You got the inner circle shit with CAT-man, right?"

"You got any embarrassin' stories, yo?"

[dead-kids-calling]

"GRAH! BEAT!" he tries to wriggle away, but the day Neku physically overpowers Beat is the day Joshua starts handing out handmade apology cards before going on television and announcing he's straight

"I uhh-yeah just, ya know, forgot to feed it? Shiki won't be happy if I let her cat starve" probably won't be very happy if she finds out about him lying later either, but that's a problem for Future Neku!

As soon as he's free he goes for the door knob but stops when Beat pulls out his wallet. There's no reason for Beat to give him money! It's not like he's starving! He remembers what starving feels like

"What? Beat, no! Its a gift! I'm fine! You need that money!"

[soundsurfing]

Yeah, Beat doesn't even need to try that hard to hold Neku still. The guy's basically made of sticks compared to the wall of muscle that was Beat.

When Neku makes a beeline for the door, Beat hurries faster. Food was pretty expensive in Shibuya, so... hm... Maybe'd just give him enough to make a quick stop at Justice Burger? 700 yen should be enough for one of the burgers and a drink.

But, when Neku objects, Beat pauses and glances up at him.

"It's fine, yo. I ain't, like..." Shit, what was the word he was thinking of? He tries to grasp it, but it escapes through his fingers effortlessly. "I ain't that poor."

[extremepath]

"I... really can't decide if it would be a good idea to elaborate or not."

[soundsurfing]

"Try it an' see?"

[soundsurfing]

@dawnled

"Yo!! Riku! Check this out!" Beat is going to attempt to do a very cool and very brave trick on his skateboard—

Only to mess up his balance at the last possible moment and end up falling right on his face.

[extremepath]

@soundsurfing | “that much quality time wid my mom would lead t’ some quality matrislime.” 𝐁:𝐓𝐕𝐒 | accepting.

"Matrislime...?" Joshua looks on at Beat in confusion for a few seconds, trying to put together what he was saying, but when it does come to him he can't help but giggle.

"Do you mean matricide? Oh, Beat... I didn't know you had it in you. You're always full of surprises."

[soundsurfing]

"Yeah, that," he says a bit flatly, then looks alarmed as Joshua continues. "Hey, I wasn't being serious, yo. It was a joke!"

[soundsurfing]

"Sorry." | for the apology form meme LMFAO

Send me a "Sorry" meme!

"....Did my best, yo."
