Updates (on life)

Okay guys, I have some news (not a big deal it's okay). My Wacom is near the end of its life. Six years of great and loyal duty. I'll miss you so much. But thanks to my boyfriend (what an incredible man) he gifted me a part of the cost of my new one! For my birthday and Christmas (I was born two days before Christmas, yes, like Gabrielle, I was just too lazy too choose another birthdate for her)

This is why (and because of my job) I was not present these last days.

SO, my partner received it yesterday, I should be back for this weekend (I guess?) or next week. Sorry for everything y'all and have a nice day :)

First Day as a Detective Junior (2012/10)

This is an extract of what I am writing. I translate it from French to English. I don't know if I will published it one day. It's long, difficult and I have no time at all. So here's at least an extract. Hope you'll enjoy it. English is not my mother tongue so I apologise for grammatical, orthographic mistakes and others.

The Evil Within, 1386 words;

TW: Slurs, anxiety mentionned, death mentionned

Characters : Gabrielle Sakazuki (OC POV), Sebastian Castellanos, Joseph ODA, Juli Kidman, Captain Richard Martin aka Mister Assh*le (OC), Myra Castellanos (mentionned), Lily Castellanos (mentionned)

The Evil Within belongs to Tango Gameworks and Bethesda.

(Didn't know what to put as header image, might change later)

In the distance, I can see a woman accompanied by the famous Detective Sebastian Castellanos and behind them, his stedfast partner, Joseph Oda. I'm starting to feel hot despite myself, and my heart races at the sight of him. It had been seven years since I had seen them. Sebastian is wearing his favorite beige overcoat gifted by his wife, Myra, a white shirt with a grayish striped jacket, a red tie, a brown trousers aborned with his Detective's badge and simple black shoes. His hair styled back, a little messy, he had a stubble beard, a few discreet wrinkles in the corner of his eyes and dark circles which, despite everything, did not detract from his hispanic charm.

Joseph, wears almost the same thing; a white shirt with black jacket and red tie, black holster with his badge, a trouser and black shoes. But contrary to his partner, his hair is well-groomed, combed, not a single hair sticks out and he always wears glasses. This is actually the first time I've seen him with those. It resembles that of his grandfather is wearing, Mr. Oda Nagato. For as long as I can remember, they were very close.

The woman behind them, she is gorgeous, but doesn't look very approachable. An angelic face but impassive. White skin, icy blue eyes, which accentuate her coldness, light brown medium-lenghts hair, a white shirt, slightly unbuttoned and a blue jeans that shows off her curves, wearing a thigh holster and black high-heels. She also wearing a detective's badge. But who is she? In any case, they haven't noticed me yet. And that's a good thing. But I spoke too fast. Mister Assh*le, our boss, arrives right behind them.

“- Detective Castellanos, Detective Oda and Detective Junior Kidman ? In my office, and you as well, he said to me, pointing his finger at me.

I hurry to turn around, pretending to look for something, before being seen. I made sure to hide my detective's plate beforhand.

- Yeah, yeah. I'll join you as soon as possible, I said, a little panicked.

- Take your time Detective Junior, we will waiting for you in my office, replies the Captain, still in that silly voice.”

I finally hear them moving away - all of them. My hands start to tremble against my will, and a knot forms in my throat. My left hand suddenly contracts. That's not a good sign. I rush to my backpack to find my pills and swallow one. I take a deep breath, until my hand relaxes a little, and finally stand up. I slowly walk towards the Captain's office. Still anxious but a little less shaky. The door is slightly open and I hear them discussing the latest investigation report. I take another deep breath, summon up all my courage and knock on the door.

“- Come in! Answers the Captain.”

I timidly open the door and feel pairs of eyes staring at me as I close the door behind me. The woman, which is named Kidman apparently, looks me up and down, while Sebastian and Joseph… Well, it's more complicated. Joseph is astonished and relieved to see me again. While Sebastian looks at me with disdain and disappointment and eventually turned his back on me. I hang my head in shame. He is right to hold a grudge against me. 

“- Gabrielle? Begins Joseph, speechless.

- Detective Junior Sakazuki, cuts the Captain, Have you been able to get settled in? I nod, eyes moist.

- Right, we have given you the report, we'll leave you to it, Sebastian adds ready to go out, annoyed.

- Wait, Detective Castellanos, intervenes Captain Martin. The reason I have summoned you here, is for the simple and good reason that you are going to change partners, he begins.

- What do you mean? Sebastian starts to grumble, turning towards the boss.

- Calm down Sebastian, intervenes Joseph in a calm tone, trying to soothe him.

- ... I'll start it again, answers the boss, clearing his throat, You, Detective Castellanos, stay with Detective Junior Kidman to continue training her and as for you Detective Oda, you will take care of our new rookie, Detective Junior Sakazuki. I told you about it at the beginning of the month, Do you remember? He asks.

- It seems so to me, but with the work-, he starts, before being interrupted.

- In what honor?! We are in the middle of an investigation! Sebastian cuts, turning towards me, on the verge of exploding.

- T-to learn the trade. Y-you already h-have an a-apprentice in your care. But nothing stops you from going on a mission together, the Captain trembles with fear and stammers.

- May I ask you a question, Captain? I end up asking. They all turn towards me, Why not pair me up with another Detective? I finally said, trying to lighten the mood. It is true that this man is not very well organized. Why not pair me with someone else? And I don't think it's a good idea to work with Joseph.

- All the other already have someone in training or have declined. The point is for you to learn the job, miss. And Joseph is one of the best Detective at the police station. Reliable, organized and effective. You won't find anyone better, he finished.

- Very well, Captain, Joseph nods, before turning towards me. I think I catch a glimpse of a faint smile, but I end up looking away.

- Is that okay with you, Detective Junior Sakazuki, Asks again the boss. I agree, noding.

- You got to be kiddin', Sebastian breathes out curtly, arms crossed.

- Very well, I'll leave you to what you have to do, I have phone calls to make. You can dispose.”

We are all leaving the office. I am next to Sebastian, followed by Joseph and that Kidman. She was silent all the time. Sebastian is angry, I can feel it. Tension is nearing its peak. My head is bowed, embarrassed. The knot in my throat is still there and my stomach feels heavy. But I needed to do that, it was the only way or I was going mad…

“- Where were you all this time ? he asks, edgy, looking straight ahead.

- That's none of your business, I say. But without me being able to do anything about it, Sebastian grabs me by my shoulders and pins me against the wall.

- Sebastian!! Joseph shouts, scared and trying to seperate us.

- It's been seven years !! Seven f*cking years we're looking for you ! So now you show up and waltz in as if nothing happened?! Sebastian's tones is threatening. I didn't know alcohol had changed him so much. His breathing is heavy. He is disppointed and in rage.

- I've been here for a while..., I tell him, clenching my teeth, refraining myself from throwing him on the ground. Despite the respect I have for my godfather, his grip is only increases my anxiety and anger.

- So where were you, then?! Where were you?! You weren't even there at Lily's funeral!! A long, awkward silence sets in. His grip is finally loosening. Lily, she was asking for you all the time, she wanted to see you... But no calls, no letters, NOTHING! he yells. We hear that you went to Afghanistan, Would it have killed you to let us know how you were doing?! Do you have any idea of the anxiety that caused?! We prayed not to hear your name on the radio! On TV! He screams at the top of his lungs.

- I came, you just didn't see me, I state, to change the subject. A quiet tear rolls down my cheek, I was there, it was raining that day, Myra was in your arms, crying, I saw the little coffin in the distance, lowered into the ground. I saw everything, Sebastian. You genuinely thought I was only thinking of myself?! I wanted to come back. But it was too late…

Joseph looks at us in turn, worried. I push them back, Sebastian and him and I move away a little.

- As for my departure in Afghanistan. I don't have to justify myself." I conclude before disappearing.

Joseph when he first met his daughter, Emiko.

As a last attempt to maintain their marriage, they conceived Emiko.

Joseph took his responsability quickly and gives all his love to his baby. Trying to support his wife and work hard in KCPD.

While Hideko fell in post-partum depression and is pushed by her family to be perfect, to do whatever they say. She will soon break down and cross the point of no-return.

(Don't mention the fact that I don't know how to do background, I know that (T^T))

"I thought it would make me forget my past..."

Sergent Gabrielle Sakazuki circa. 2010

Pictures taken after returning from Afghanistan

[syndromgabriell]

Manifesting for a TEW remake or hopefully, a TEW3 where Joseph is the protagonist AND the studio who would be working on it better be faithful to its theme like Tango did 🕯️

TEW Remake probably yes. TEW 3 I have less hope BUT We don't and we WON'T give up the idea. It's a thing to say that Joseph is alive but now : How ? When ? Where ? Explain yourself Kidman !

And more like the first game. The second was good but... Meh... Something is missing in the mood of this game, can't tell what

[syndromgabriell]

If you still wanna talk about The Evil Within things, my asks box is still open

Sketching

Gabrielle around 2010. She was at the bar with her roommates talking about politics and generational trauma I guess ?

Sorry for not posting much. Preparing some Illustration while trying to work on a "mini Artbook" then comics then writing while doing my job (this week it's 6am - 1pm, it's hard 🥹)

[syndromgabriell]

Strangely enough, if you remember in one of the journals of Sebastian, he mentions that Joseph may have had a crush on Kidman.

But if you browse through the concept arts of the characters and look through Joseph's, it says that he is married AND he has a child?!

.. Jojo, I hope you're not plotting something. 🧐

Hmmm... To me Seb says that because he sees that Joseph is "interested in her" but not in that way.

I think Joseph suspected Kidman since the beginning. Like he knew she was not just a "rookie". She was too quiet, too discreet.

Like, in the DLCs after Kidman defeated "Haunted Joseph" she says that "[He] should have stayed out of the way" (or something like that) meaning he was investigating on her before is abduction and enter in the STEM.

But that's my opinion/theory (not because I ship Joseph with my OC 🤫)

And : In my fanfic it is not a happy marriage 🤫

[syndromgabriell]

"What happened to us?"

"Joseph Oda & Hideko Sakamoto have the pleasure to invite you at their wedding, Saturday, May 21st 2005, In Veranda Hôtel, at 2p.m."

Jenna and Gabrielle solving a case together?

It would be a bit disorganised but the case would be quickly resolved, I think

[syndromgabriell]

I'm bored (kidding, I'm drawing) my asking box is open ! Only respond question, I'm not ready to do commissions yet
