REFLECT (For the meme <3)

The Reaper's Game was hardly the first traumatic event in Neku's life. While people are perfectly capable of growing up into the kind of spiny, abrasive, self-centered asshole he was before the Long Game without any preceding trauma, Neku kind of had a lot of it beforehand.

As an empath coming from two lineages priding themselves on 'breeding true' with psychic powers, Neku was the son of two non-psychics who were themselves victims of abuse and grew up into assholes themselves. He was resented and despised from an early age, because both his parents had a good paycheck as long as they were 'trying' to have a kid (as measured by psychics who could tell if they lied, so...)

Neku's earliest clear traumatic memory was encountering other kids his age in early schooling, and realizing that the bad feelings he couldn't help but pick up on from his parents didn't show up in how his schoolmates' parents felt about their kids, and that there were a bunch of feelings that his classmates and their parents shared that he had never felt in his life.

It literally caused a crying meltdown from him in class, a shrieking level of being inconsolable that the teacher thought was because he liked her and didn't want to go home (he didn't want to go home and DID like her better).

That gets a soft, genuine little smile and an amused snort from Neku.

"The best ruse is none at all, when it comes to psychics."

[leneemusing]

send REFLECT for me to explain a traumatic event in my muses’s past and talk about their perception of events,  which parts have stayed with them longest and how it affects them now.  (  sender can request specific scenes/backstory  )

[the-composer]

"Why am I like this... I feel so reprehensible... so broken... Why can't I just be normal?"

[soundwired]

"Do you know how often I get to feel people having this exact same crisis? Ironically, having that kind of feeling IS normal... and normal is overrated anyway."

"Come over, I'll ply you with ice cream and bad movies and cuddles. We can be reprehensible and broken and throw popcorn at the TV."

❝              would    you?                ❞                  in  reality  he  knew  the  way,  if  he  pulled  his  phone  out.  he  couldn’t  rely  on  his  composers  abilities  outside  of  shinjuku-  not  that  hazuki  wanted  to  rely  on  them  in  the  first  place.  they  were  so  draining  to  use  and  he  needed  to  learn  shibuya  for  himself  in  his  own  way-  what  better  way  than  through  one  of  the  people  he  knew  that  shibuya’s  composer  was  in  with.  of  course,  they’d  never  met  and  this  one  had  no  way  of  knowing  he’d  known  who  he  was.  

❝          it’s  very  kind  of  you,  friend.  i  would  appreciate  it.              ❞                  he  shoved  his  hands  into  the  pockets  of  his  coat  and  stepped  up  to  the  other  with  a  welcoming  smile.            ❝          i  can  barely  manage  getting  around  in  the  day  time.  shibuya  is  so  busy.            ❞

“Got nothin’ better to do.” When his main gig was being a DJ at night, daytime was pretty free. Even with smartphones and maps, you couldn’t really know Shibuya that way. Experience was better, experience with a local who could say that Sunshine was clearly the superior fast food joint.

“Yeah. It’s always like this, though. I’m pretty good at getting around without getting too lost.” The secret was subtly nudging people to not want to be near him,

“Name’s Sakuraba Neku, by the way. What’s yours?” The redhead glanced at the other guy, a crooked smile on his face.

Sometimes threads die in drafts. Reblog if you’re willing to continue them in IM or Discord!

Because sometimes a quick, shorter responses between the two of you without the pressure and formality of paras & icons etc is all you need!

Neku: I trust 777.

Futoshi: You think he knows what he's doing?

Neku: I'm not sure I'd go that far.

[soundwired]

NGL I think a lot about the kind of drama and pining and complex fucking feelings that would come up if someone said they wanted to play the Joshua from Empath's Shibuya specifically.

There would be SO MANY BIG FEELINGS like oh my god. Neku would very much consider punching him and apologizing for it after, and there would be this uncomfortable complicated feeling of "I've been waiting for you so long that I'm not sure we are the people we were when we last saw each other."

And that's just Neku's side. How much would it suck for any Joshua to have THAT rammed in his face?

@the-composer is getting what he deserves.

"Oh, this? About five feet under the realization that if I don't do this, you're just going to be a tease." His voice is a dark little chuckle as the kisses turn into sharp little nips-- not enough to leave a mark, but enough to show exactly where his intent is.

"And about a year's worth of realizing that if I don't take the opportunity I have now, I may not have that same chance tomorrow." There's more than a hint of regret there, of things he's wanted to do, waited to do, and lost his chance on. Not enough to extinguish his mood, but enough to dim it temporarily.

"Am I unsubtle enough to have Your attention now? Because I want to worship You in all kinds of fun ways."
