@yeonban asked: 'calm down, you are safe' Naotora to Kojiro!

send 'calm down, you are safe' for my muse's reaction. | Accepting!

Damn it. He probably looked like a fool - rushing out of the area in a panic like that. It didn't help that he had been surrounded by a crowd, which he was also not used to. He was used to being an outcast. He was used to having stones and trash thrown at him. Having people speak badly towards him. Hell he's used to having people threaten his life or being in danger in general. He's not used to the positive attention he's been getting as of late, no matter how much he craved it. What a contradiction he was.

They were coming to congratulate him, raising their hands to give him a high five or to put their hand on his head or shoulders. But all he had seen was someone raising their hand to hit or throw something at him. With the adrenaline from the previous fight still in his system - he ran.

"Mhm." He acknowledged Naotora's presence and words, but still kept his head down as he ran a hand through his hair. He was shaking, he realized a moment later. He grasps his hands together, as if trying to force himself to stop shaking. After a few moments of standing in silence, he leans forward, his head resting on Naotora's armor.

"I just--- I just need a moment." He barely says above a whisper, despite wanting his voice to be stronger than that.

"Tell me something, fiendish bird. Would you perhaps consider becoming...a part of the world, the world that I, DIO, shall bring to fruition? Oh, what lovely pages to your story I might write! To bring the whole of your visage to its peak, to grant you everlasting peace of mind. Tell me, what is your heart's desire? Wealth? Love? Or perhaps...heh, might it be me?"

the fiendish goose considers the man’s offer. with dark, soulless eyes, it stares at the banana man, head tilted as it ponders its heart’s desire, what it wants from the world. eventually, a conclusion is drawn, one that does bring the goose peace of mind, one that it can achieve, one right in front of it.

honk…

it honks softly and steps closer towards the banana man, as yes, it does want him… or, well, more accurately, it wants his phone. deft beak expertly reaches for the phone only slightly hidden by clothes. it holds the phone tightly and runs, wings extended, honks joyful and proud.

jokes on you, banana man, the goose doesn’t want to be part of your world. it is part of no one’s world but the goose’s own world, filled with stolen items like your phone! and you better watch out, it’s coming for your banana makeup next!

MY FLOWERPOTS

“HONK?!”

who would be horrible enough to run into the flower shop, knock over the flower pots just to steal a flower?

oh, the goose always had that flower. really. no lie.

it’s running away because it has a date with another pretty goose who it must give the flower to. 

not because it stole a flower.

"Chocolates are good for the soul, according to some spirits i heard from. But i don't see the appeal of it. " From Haku. He just feel the need to barge in lmao.

“chocolates?” fushi repeated the unfamiliar word with a tilt of their head. if they were good though, why did haku not enjoy them? but wait... another statement suddenly caught fushi’s attention much more. “wait, haku, you can see spirits too?!”

You suddenly find a small black box sitting at your doorstep. Besides the small snake sigil marked in gold, there is no indication of its sender or where it originated. However, should you still choose to open it, inside are a series of capsule-shaped chocolates ready for consumption and a note reading: Happy Valentine’s. Eat these immediately to be healthy for a day, or else.

(this is late so let's pretend it's the 14th no?)

fushi was aware of the concept of presents. they knew that it was something you gifted others on special occations, such as “birthdays”. they had never really got a present themself though, so the black box adorning the doorstep as they had prepared to leave carried with it no such association within the entity. after all they had never celebrated their “day of birth” as they weren’t ever really born, simply created. initially without a conscience and a sense of time, naturally it had no inkling whatsoever as to when that may be either. through books they had learned of the passing of time and was capable of giving themself an approximate age, but even that could never truly be specific unless they were to ask their creator. in the end it didn’t matter. whether fifty years passed or three hundred it was all the same in the end. they could simply “reset” their form and start anew.

thus the black box inspired curiosity. they could not imagine any occasion for which they would be granted a present so presumably there had been some kind of mistake. nevertheless they opened the accompanying card that did not help to clear up the situation at all. what was a valentine? why was it happy?

they still opened the box however to find the strange confectioneries. the letter dictated them to be some sort of food item, sweet in scent. oh well, all they had to do was eat it, right? not understanding the threatening undertones of the netter nor finding any suspicion in the action, fushi without hesitation wolfed down the entire stock.

"Anser anser domesticus. The Common domesticated goose... Rather unusual that I find one here, and so far from it's flock too... Come here, little waterfowl!"

domesticated? who are you, tiny big head man, to call the goose domesticated? it is far from it!! 

…though, unwittingly, in its desire to chase the tiny big head man, it is going towards him… like how something domesticated, nay, tamed would.

honk! honk!

but it’s charging! and honking! and it’s wings are spread because it’s scary!

[rakeinthelake]

Pick up the goose

goose is picked up. goose is baby. feed baby or baby will seek revenge.

“What an adorable bird! I’m gonna feed you strawberries.” Cue the cooing.

the goose honks for more strawberries. 

if it doesn’t get more strawberries, it’s going to steal mizi’s keys.
