. There was something uncomfortable in his spine; foreign, tight, claustrophobic in the way it gripped him like a vice. He wasn't sure if he wanted to ignore it or break it down before doing anything with the witch (former witch) currently hunched over in the rain.
There was a moment when he wanted to comfort her. It was strange and it kept him silent as he tried to figure how he wanted to act. When he took in Whalers, there was little beyond shallow sympathy, knowing that Dunwall would find it easier and cheaper to let them die in a gutter than turn even a neutral eye on them. They were useful to him.
But here was different, he wanted to help. At least, that was what he finally understood after a moment of decision.
"You weren't a sycophant out for my neck or..." To put words to what he'd done for Emily Kaldwin felt like sacrilege, somehow. He let silence hang for a moment, eyes fixated on the water soaking her hair. "Do you intend to stay here?" The question is awkward, almost tumbling from his lips.
“Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s Cuddle Kingdom! I hope you have a swell time here, and an adorable Easter!” A soft giggle left the doll animatronic, letting a broad smile form on her malleable features. Her usual bear ears that she wore atop her head had been replaced with bunny ears, similar to that of Cuddle Bunny’s (save for the color), in line with the holiday. (Her hair was even pulled back into a bun, giving a bunny tail look to the back of her head.)
sometimes steve wonders on how he got to this point in his life : certainly , it wasn’t in his plans to end up in the ice , especially for almost a century . it did feel wrong having to move on so quickly , so many faces that he knew now gone & he couldn’t even say goodbye one last time . at least he still had his memories of his companions & friends , & now he found himself drawing them . although his pen almost drops from his hand at the sound of a cup hitting the table , looking up & smiling .
“ ah . . . hello . “ he should be more careful , even he didn’t hear the young girl coming the captain silently blammed the noise of new york . “ thanks . “ the blonde says once more , drinking the coffee he was just given with a smile . & as the waitress walks away , he looks around , the city so different than what he could remember .
he could get used to it not that he had much of a choice , did he ? .
if her mother had told her that she would be inside a video game that morning , in a jungle of all places while being in the body of a middle aged man , bethany would have laughed --- laughed so much that she would have teared up . but here she was , indeed inside a video game , & the rest was obviously true as well . in a way , she did prefer this to cleaning the basement of the school , but all the bugs & dangerous wild animals made her skin crawl . she already had died once , & now she would forever remember what the inside of a hippo looks like .
“ guys , i’m serious , we need a plan ! “ one that didn’t involve them walking for what felt like hours now . not that she minded it ! in fact , the blonde ? brunette ? . . didn’t matter , she did like the thought of walking , walking through the trees made her feel oddly calm , even in this situation . but the body she now had didn’t seem to agree with her head . “ & one where i don’t die again ! seriously , you do not ever want to die by a hippo - “ a shiver --- never again .
“ i swear , angel ! the day started horrendously wrong ! “ a thick british accent can be heard in the restaurant , always so loud & proud . that was a characteristic crowley has , since they had fallen so so many years before . they sip from their wine , a rather fond smile as they look at the blonde beside them , their characteristics seemingly to clash together . not that either minded , in fact , the demon was sure both appreciated each other’s differences .
the glass is back on the table , near their already cleaned plate --- they always ate pretty fast , even if they didn’t need to eat at all . “ i saw this penny on the street , right ? & little old me thought ‘ how wonderful ! a great way to start the day ‘ ! WRONG ! the penny was glued to the sidewalk , how evil can someone be to do that ? ! “ aka , it was crowley that did it --- they just forgot about it . . .

“Nice voice” for jirou from noburu
having in notion of the amount of attacks her class would get , maybe it wasn’t the smartest thing to be blasting loud music like she was . but iida wasn’t in the dorms yet , so there weren’t many that could stop her unless a teacher asked her , but so far so good . but even then , she could have heard him approaching , but she didn’t ( which just showed her that she train her hearing more , even if already really good ) , so to say she jumped from the cough when she heard his voice was obvious .
she doesn’t say anything at first --- still not used to having people hear her voice , even after the festival . “ thank you . “ kyoka finally says , even if after a bit while turning down the music she was listening to .
