「Long time, no see.」

Aoi flashed a smile in Light’s direction, even though he was well aware that he couldn’t see it. Hopefully it carried to his voice. Hopefully Light recognized his voice. It had been months since they’d crossed paths for the first time in nine years, and they hadn’t been around one another for long.

「Man,」 he said, standing up straight from where he’d been leaning against a wall, 「it took me FOREVER to figure out where you and Clover were hiding. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were avoiding me.」 If they were, Aoi couldn’t exactly blame them. Sure: he’d had good intentions by helping to set up a Nonary Game, but that didn’t mean that it was a pleasant experience for either Light or Clover.

… It wasn’t a pleasant experience for AOI, either.

#mistctch #(( that feeling when you either have to put someone you consider a friend through a second nonary game ))#(( or resign yourself to the fact that your sister is going to die ))#(( boy fucking howdy aoi can never catch a break ))#(( a N Y W A Y WHAT ARE EVEN VERSE TAGS ))#(( this is set after 999 ))#(( but before ''zero time dilemma'' ))#(( that's all that matters ))

「How about we do Christmas a little early this year?」

Maybe the question seemed to have come out of the blue, but Aoi had been sleeping on the idea for some time now. It wasn’t as though he didn’t have his reasons. Soon enough, Akane would be headed out to Nevada—a place that Aoi never wanted either of them to go back to if he could help it. He couldn’t, though: like so many times before, Akane staying or leaving would literally decide the fate of the universe.

Of course, her work in Nevada would start on Christmas. It was ALWAYS Christmas. The universe really liked to taunt him, didn’t it? Maybe Akane even knew that he would ask her what he just had, and had simply kept quiet.

He glances up from the floor to look at his sister, still resting his temple against his fist. 「What do you say? I’d personally like to give it one more go before the potential apocalypse.」

#schrodingerskanny #(( it's the most wonderful time of the year ))#(( to possibly release a suicide virus and witness the near-extinction of the human race ))#(( it's almost december ))#(( what better time is there for kurashiki christmas sadness ))#(( let these children s l e e p and celebrate christmas in peace ))#(( i'll figure out verse tags later ))#(( just know that this is before zero time dilemma ))

「You must be Phi.」

Aoi slid off of the tabletop that he’d been perched on to make his way over, then sticking out a hand. 「Akane’s told me all about you. The name’s Aoi—Kurashiki Aoi. It’s good to know that I’m the lucky me who actually gets to meet you.」 Another version of himself dying in the Radical-6 outbreak didn’t sound like an experience that he wanted to have. Was it selfish for him to feel bad for himself if said version of himself wasn’t really him?

The universe was such a pain in the balls….

Aoi ran a hand through his hair, pushing it back and out of his face. 「I’m sorry about the games—this one, especially. Call me an asshole if you want, but your brother is one sick son of a bitch.」

#theseblues #❄️ POST-CDQ2┆we won’t have to worry about the end of the world #(( ''nice to meet you phi ))#(( i'm going to insult your old as balls brother and discuss our fates in other timelines to start off our relationship'' ))#(( what am i going to do with this boy ))

It’s good to remember that Aoi isn’t…entirely mentally or emotionally stable. Considering his circumstances, he’s a lot better than he could be, but he’s not the epitome of mental health.

#self harm #suicide #❄️ HEADCANON┆he’s gotta be pretty fucked up in the head #(( this is going under a read more because i rAMBLE ))#(( aoi needs a therapist who's an esper so that he can aCTUALLY TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS ))#(( he needs someone who won't go ))#(( ''well believing that your sister can jump through spacetime is absolutely insane aoi'' ))#(( he's not crazy he swears ))#(( he's fucked up ))#(( but not crazy ))#(( OKAY I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY GET AROUND TO QUEUE'ING STARTERS ))

(( There are a lot more Zero Escape roleplayers than I expected to find, which is a great surprise! I didn’t think that there was an active fanbase for the games, but I suppose that I was wrong about that.

Anyways, I’m still working on a couple of things for this blog, but I’m going to throw out a starter call to get to sometime tomorrow at the very latest. If you’re a multimuse, please specify which of your muses you’d like me to write the starter for! Lengths will vary, and the setting will vary, since what happens to Aoi after “9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors” is left very vague, but it’s heavily implied that he’s sort of…dead.

(I’ll figure it out as I go—I swear.) ))

#❄️ STARTER CALL┆how long are we going to pussyfoot around #(( my current plan is to have two separate verses ))#(( one in which aoi survives the outbreak of radical-6 ))#(( and one where he doesn't ))#(( since i really think that he's super dead come ''virtue's last reward'' ))#(( but ))#(( that ain't very practical for threading reasons ))#(( we'll see ))

(( I’ve got to get the heck out of the house in, like, ten minutes, so excuse me while I throw up a really quick and shoddy promotion.

You can call me Isa, and you can call this boy here Santa. Do any of you chumps remember “9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors” from the Zero Escape trilogy? Well, I sure as fuck do, and I love this boy, so let’s do this thing. Hit some of those buttons down there if you’re interested in being sassed by your local snark addicted bisexual and I will check you the heck out. ))

#❄️ PROMOTION┆the guy on this card is one good-looking son-of-a-bitch #zero escape rp #zero escape roleplay #999 rp #999 roleplay #(( now ))#(( I MUST FLY ))#(( please love my child he's a good boy ))
