"brother. you broke another phone didn't you?" ( from gwynn , @pilumurale )

oh   no,   she   found   the   crushed   remains   of   yet   another   rotom   phone.   the   electric   spectre   itself   glaring   at   ivor,   practically   bristling   with   ire.

❝    it   said   that   i   could   sign   in   with   a   biometric   lock   !  so   i   tapped   it   with   my   finger.   perhaps  too   hard.    ❞

"...are you a god, here to take me away from here?" hinako is hopeful; after all, having the desire to die and join her deceased family since she was six years old weighs down on her. ( @ningyotabetai , hinako @ hanyuu )

" auau ... ! " quiet amazement flips very quickly to embarrassment ; anxiety ; fear as the little god realizes that she is entirely visible to this stranger . hanyuu instinctively covers her face , like that's supposed to actually accomplish anything , her face bright red .

" how can you see me ? " her words , more of a rhetorical question than anything really aimed at hinako , are muffled by the wide sleeves of her kosode . " i mean -- um , no ? i can't take you anywhere , i'm sorry ... auauau ... "

@dancedelight sent - and mizuki places a tray of cupcakes down. "hey! my sister said i could share these with my friends! they're chocolate and vanilla!" ( from @tenshiclover ! )

"Wow, really...?!" He was beaming from ear to ear as he already couldn't help but reach for one, hoping he was included in her statement. "Thanks so much for sharing these with me - oh and thank your sister, too! Did she help you make 'em...?"

"oi. beanie. what're ya starin' at?" // shigeo @ shinjiro, @undeadmahou

" you . " shinji's attitude when he speaks is entirely uncaring . he's aware that it's rude to stare , and he's aware that he's picked a bad target at which to do so . he just doesn't care . ( call it half overconfidence and half a severe lack of concern for his own well-being . )

" you just appeared outta thin air . what'd you expect me to do ? "

@dancedelight (tagging your hub so you can choose a muse!) / sc.

and he creates bloodied steps in the dirt — the light whispers of people made hushed sounding from building-to-building. akaza had already killed tonight, but he'd yet to find someone to devour — so it was as he entered home, after home, he would look upon the cowering families, before either killing or abandoning them.

"you," however, finally, he finds someone that piqued his interest, "come with me."

"...haven't i told you to stop bullying others?" kanae, @pilumurale

unprompted. / always accepting!

"what? i'm not—" ah, kanae was so intimidating! "i just enjoy seeing people's limits, medically speaking."

"has love hurt you, too, akaza-san?" (mitsuri / @pilumurale ; continuing the thread from before hehe)

unprompted. / always accepting!

and his history was thoroughly abandoned. there was nothing that survived such desolation, and that was just how it was. akaza's brow furrows at such a question, as if trying to hold it like a ball of clay in his hands.

"i assume i had a pretty boring life, up until i became a demon," thinking about his lord — while he could not remember the time he was converted, he looks upon the thought of it with a smile.

"it was always implied to me that i was given purpose through becoming a demon," laughter, "so i must've been pretty useless beforehand, right?"

"i don't think love hurt me," he continued on, "it was through his compassion for someone so forgettable, that i was given a better life."

[compassneedle]

you're a monster. from hinako's kny au.

send “you’re a monster” for my muses reaction. / accepting!

"i'm a monster?" came a question, as akaza was sure he could smell demon blood on her breath. what a curious thing — to be both marechi, and a demon-eater — however, it will take more than that to intimidate an upper moon.

"i can smell it on you, you've been cannibalising us," he continues on, "if i'm the monster, then what does that make you?"
