truth serum - my muse has to answer any and all questions regardless of what it is.

[indauntative-deactivated2014061]

"Eh? Matoi? That’s correct, but if you say it like that…."

[ ;It was strange enough seeing a mirror image of herself, but one who spat out ‘Matoi’ like some bad food was even stranger. And another? How many Ryukos were out there?! The girl could only watch as her world turned upside down after being in the presence of the other, er, Ryuko. ]

"Well, I can’t leave without getting the juicy details. That’ll just take all the fun away. Looks like you’ve got some talking to do after all."

[souverainrouge]

"I owe you nothing. I have tolerated you for this long because I'd rather not see my mirror image bleeding. Get out before I overcome my discomfort."

[takemyownpath]

It was rather sudden, sudden enough for a burst of surprise to escape the couturier’s lips. Ah— unsettling ‘twas the queen, she nay was able to neglect that there was something that drove the foreign sense of fear unto her mind, biting and numbing. And at this close range, it was far more than merely unsettling.

From the mere twitch of her wrist, escape was nary able— ah, but even if she happened to be the caged bird, facades unraveled more than once, she would not make the same stumble twice; that would simply be clumsy!

Ah, pawn leans forth, sanguine plays upon her eye, composure found once more, met forth by an unwavering gaze. Free hand comes up, rests upon other’s framed shoulder, her countenance taking forth a far more unmoved mask. Perchance, this ‘twas a reveal of the viper that lurked beneath sugared and honeyed layers— far more uncanny. A near sultry purr escapes from her throat, a smirk forms, far less innocent than her usual.

❝ Geez, how unusually forth you are today, Akane-chan~

                                       Are you perhaps expecting something far more interesting out of Lady Ragyo’s little doll~? ❞

And, if on cue, a fluid movement, porcelain marionette locks lips with the crimson queen.

[souverainrouge]

Ah, there was the snake she'd been chasing. The monster lurking just below Nui's frills was ugly and hard to look at, but Akane much preferred it. How she hated being lied to. And so much more, she hated to deny the bitter truth of their existence, blood and needles. 

(Thread for flesh! You two are so alike.)

Whether or not Akane had actually intended to bait Nui into kissing her, she was hardly upset by it. No, on the contrary - she gave a low, growling hum of contentment and kissed back roughly. She let go of the pawn's wrist, instead snaking her fingers through long blonde. The queen nipped at Nui's lip, and then bit down enough to bleed. After that, she pulled away. 

"Oh, Couturier," she whispered, low and heavy. She grinned, still with traces of blood on her lips. "You're so predictable."

[souverainrouge]

[ ooc: munday

ask questions, if you like ]

[indauntative-deactivated2014061]

[ —At the words, Ryuko flinched (more than she’d like to admit), and gritted her teeth. ]

“Your school?”

[ ;If the girl in front of her wasn’t a hallucination, then who the hell was she? And her school? What the hell did that mean? ]

[souverainrouge]

Ah. Here it went. Akane crossed her arms and watched, waiting a moment before responding. 

"Yes. My school." She sighed. "You're one of those ones that's a Matoi, aren't you? I don't have time to deal with another. Weren't you leaving?"

❝ Ah! You talk like you’re going to truly go anywhere! Geez, its almost morbid; huh, did you get one of those creepy old dreams where you’re gonna die? How scary, scary, scary, I’m worried, worried, worried~! ❞

Faux concern is layered thickly over expression, voice and visage, petite hues widened with utmost worry, lips curved downward into a frown. Toes tip upward, ‘till barely a couple centimeters separated their features. Couturier does not draw back upon the queen’s rather icy touch, yet momentary hesitation, barest definition of a flinch, shows discreetly unto her movements; the common would have not had such swift eyes to glimpse such a slight motion, but perchance queen would. Ah, how careless, careless of her!

❝ But Akane-chan, of course not, of course not! It’s not like you’re the only one, huh? Vous voyez, a wild spirit roams free and alone! ❞

She breaks out into another deafening smile, lissome fingers come up to playfully flick the other girl’s nose, with no air for gentle demeanors.  Ah, but of course, they both knew that few would stand within the range of the girl for long without developing discomfort towards her overly possessive manners, and some to be revealed, rattlesnake concealed within mirthful sugar and candy. But it is unlike that she bothers to acknowledge company; the grace of company was such a nuisance to her arbitrary ventures!

[souverainrouge]

Foolish little doll - Akane's eyes narrowed oh so slightly at the hardly noticeable flinch. Her eyes sparked with some kind of predatory instinct, something deep and feral ignited by the small sign of weakness. Blood in the water. 

She watched as Nui's hand extended forward to flick her. She remained unmoved while it happened, but as soon as Nui's fingers left her skin again, Akane's hand shot out to snatch the other girl's wrist. She held it tight, almost tight enough to bruise, almost tight enough to break. Tight enough that Nui wouldn't be able to escape very easily. 

Her gaze was still locked on Nui, blue and intense. She held that wrist for a silent moment, and then leaned forward. The intent was to intimidate (right?), and Nui would either need to submit and lean back, or... 

[askboxmemes]

Honest hour. Nothing will be deleted. Just come and ask.

❝ Uwahhh, see, see, you can be generous after all, Akane-chan! ❞

In exuberant rushes, the petite couturier surges forth, caution utterly discarded amongst the metaphorical wind. Nary, is she intimidated by the regal other, for one such as her, has little to ever fear ( or perhaps is she far too haphazard for forethought? ). Her grip is overwhelmingly gelid she laces limbs ‘round the queen’s shoulders, clingy and disturbingly tight, the contact that would make most shiver in discomfort at her abrupt closeness. Ah, but then again, she is but an angel contained within an artificial body, no?

Lithe digits tenderly stroke the fabric of the other’s outfit, noble white graced with elegance of a swan bleached amongst sleeves, favoring another signature beam of porcelain visages upon the queen. Creator admiring her own creation; hardly unheard of, true?

❝ Ne, its a funny thought, but could you be going a tad bit soft, huh? That’s not very becoming of you! ❞

[souverainrouge]

There's little to indicate Akane even notice Nui's shift except for a sharp exhale of breath. The grip was well known, nothing new, and Akane responded by staring into the distance absently while Nui's arm snaked around her. Her gaze was glassy, maybe. 

The strong of Nui's fingers against Junketsu's fabric caused Akane to shift her gaze just enough to keep Nui in the corner of her eye. Soon enough, she'll shift into rage and maybe even desire, but for now Akane simply tolerates Nui. 

"You don't often beg," she responded. Rubbing salt in the wound - she deserved to be petty, sometimes. "Besides, what do you know about ruling...? A good leader is patient." Justifying herself... ah, had Nui stroked some insecurity in her? Maybe she was growing weak. One hand reached to brush across Nui's cheek, then down along her jaw onto the throat. She trace her fingers over Nui's jugular, pressing just slightly. She eyed it the one eyes a slice of cake. In the back of her throat, she hummed lowly. 

"Ah, but what would you do, if I was gone? You're a clingy creature. No one else would dare to tolerate you."

[indauntative-deactivated2014061]

[ ;Ryuko was absolutely certain she was imagining things again because there was no way in hell she’d ever wear that monster again. ]

"Looks like you already took the words out of my mouth. Except I have one more to say—      leave.”

[souverainrouge]

They're on the same page. That's something. 

"You came here, to my school. You're the one who needs to go. Don't prolong this more than we need to."

[souverainrouge]

Great. Another one. 

"I don't have time to waste on you. What do you want? Be quick about it."

{❣} —- ❝You’re so, so demanding, Akane-chan, how can anyone ever possibly bear to coup with you at all~?❞

          A disappointed breath. That smirk surely rattled her nerves just the slightest bit, but it was never correct to lose composure! 

                             —She would follow the queen’s game for the moment, until she could find better bearings. 

         ❝Won’t you please, please, pleaseee let me stay~? I promiseee not to cause you any trouble at all; I’ll do anythingg at all, just bear little me for a little while more!❞

                        —Ah, the queen does dominate mere pawn, it was only fitting.

[souverainrouge]

It is a dangerous thing, undoubtedly, for who is Nui but more dangerous when she's shaken? It hardly matters, for the pleasure of hearing her voice pitch up pathetically is worth it. Akane leaned back and drank it in. 

She sighed heavily, her breath heavy and almost labored. The sigh of relief after a good meal. She traced her fingers across her lips, sat back in her chair, and crossed legs. She smiled, for only a brief moment.

"Alright." Her eyes lingered on Nui, waiting for the reaction. "You can stay, for now."

In celebration of Mother's day, ask my muse anything about his/her mother

[ ooc: quietly returns from the grave ]

[totenblumen]

Honnouji Academy.

That’s the academy that will take the place of Mitoribashi High School. Mitoribashi itself would be changed after the year, into Honno City.

For a while, Ragyo stood there, completely stunned. Even her Kamui was silent, and it was obvious that this was definitely wrong. The girl’s last name was Kiryuin, and Ragyo was tip-top certain that she had killed everyone in the family out of frustration and parental neglect.

"….Honnouji Academy….was supposed to be built…next year…..”

[souverainrouge]

Alright. Perhaps this girl had hallucinated the COVERS, and perhaps she was delusion and confused about when she was. It was strange that a girl Akane's age would have known about Mitoribashi.... but maybe she'd heard family stories. Either way. 

"Are you feeling alright?" Akane extended her hand to try and touch Ragyo's forehead, but stopped short of touching and hesitated, waiting for permission. "Where do you live? I'll assist you."
