are you still here

to better answer this question: it all boils down to a yes/no response. 

yes: i have actually been looking over things on the dash for my kirigiri blog so it’s not that i’m not logged in. basically, in a literal sense, i am still here and i do plan on keeping this blog. however…

no: you could say i don’t particularly have motivation to respond to the drafts i have for this blog nor much asks either. usually my motivation tends to come from, not really the muse part since my kirigiri muse has not died, but…it’s more of a ‘i don’t feel particularly wanted’ kind of motivation. i have been active on two other muses where they are technically wanted and it’s difficult to lose motivation for them since the fandom is ongoing. since these past months, i have seen a lot of the people who i used to speak with fondly have started to vanish. and let’s face it…DR1 isn’t a series that gets a lot of attention ever since DRv3 joined into the DR franchise. trust me i don’t have a hatred for it because i’ve played and enjoyed all the DR games but you could say it’s hard to find people who still portray the DR1 cast who shall always be my most favorite of the series. 

this is by no means of faulting anyone or nothing of the sort. to basically summarize…i have more motivation for my two other muses so this blog is practically a “if people desire for me to go on, then i shall”. i really do hate to make kirigiri into a blog like that but it’s slightly difficult to get much motivation to do things.

rEMEMBER WHEN THESE KIDS WERE HAPPY

[tantkill]

peko stepped up to the detective, behind her as she was working tirelessly as she gently placed a small purple gift before her. " ... happy birthday, kirigiri. "

              COLLECTION OF TAPS WAS MADE UNDERNEATH THE DETECTIVE’S CHIN,     raising a curious brow for the swordwoman’s entrance. She gives no breather of a word and awaits to see what business the other had in mind. For whatever reasons brought them together, the  STOIC WOMAN  was partaking in an afternoon stroll throughout the empty hallways. Hardly anyone was located inside and felt the silence to being relaxing. Footsteps no sooner broke away the quiet barrier though their subtle steps were familiar.  KIRIGIRI RECOGNIZED THEM  as they belonged to one other person whose calm demeanor may perhaps outmatch her own. Parted lips delivered a faint greeting until she remained hushed. So far no words were exchanged but took note of hands that were located from behind. Was it some form of delivery for the  LILAC DETECTIVE  to commit?

              LILAC IRISES GROW INTENT AS THEY FOLLOWED     those movements, the  ULTIMATE SWORDSWOMAN  is keen like grasping her bamboo sword to practice. It hadn’t been long until she understood precisely what comes…a purple gift is now handed before those gloved hands. A stoic detective ponders heavily about why she suddenly wished to grant her something though the sentiment itself sounds harsh. Even opening the gift, it offers something ‘ unique ’ that hardly envisioned those hands to ever craft anything.     ❛     …Thank you for remembering  PEKOYAMA-SAN  though this looks quite elaborate. By any chance, did you work on this throughout the day?     ❜

The young man approached the detective, a small package resting in his hands. It was something simple: a leather-bound notebook and some premium coffee. With a smile, Hinata quietly wished : "Happy Birthday, Kirigiri."

              ❛     HINATA-KUN …this is interesting to receive. How did you know I like this brand of coffee?     ❜     FOR A MOMENT THE DETECTIVE COULD COMMENT, TAKEN BY SURPRISE     from the package being handed to her. He may consider it simple through its contents but the  LILAC WOMAN  rather receive something that comes from his hands. There can’t be anything more pleasing than obtaining a thought about her. Anyone would consider it fortunate for another person to have them in their thoughts…why else did  KIRIGIRI GROW ECSTATIC  about his presence? A yearning practically called for her own loneliness, being busy with cases though remembered him fondly. His existence stands as an important fragment within the  STOIC DETECTIVE  regardless of how he doubts himself. Lilac irises stare faintly at the leather-bound notebook, flipping through the pages as if expecting some letter to fall out like most detective shows. Even now she managed to treat this as a typical  WORKAHOLIC BEHAVIOR , displaying the proud bloodline of her family’s name.

              GLOVED DIGITS WORKED INTO HANDLING THE COFFEE AS SHE MAKES     a habit for partaking in this beverage. It appears this man managed to bring forth a gentle smile of her own, uncertain what else to say. Gratitude filled up the  KIRIGIRI DETECTIVE’S  chest and takes an interesting approach at demonstrating her thanks. Soft lips met with his, planting a single kiss before taking a step back. Lilacs enclose themselves to contemplate what else to say though knew, knew all along what to truly speak out.     ❛     Thank you though I wouldn’t mind if you stayed a little longer for today.     ❜

*gives Kiri a slice of chocolate cake*

              ❛     …?     ❜     ALMOST RELUCTANT TO SAVOR A TASTE, THE LILAC WOMAN STARES     for quite a long time until one gloved finger scrapes the icing. She is rather bold to permit tasting any food that came from the hands of a stranger. Though the  DETECTIVE  isn’t quite trusting enough to accept this gift, the scent and texture weren’t bringing off a suspicious aura.  KIRIGIRI  senses nothing peculiar with her own ‘ ability ’ and commits to licking off the chocolate icing from her finger. As suspected…the icing proved to be  DELICIOUS ENOUGH TO EAT . Lilac irises display no movement until she blinks once, taking the plate away to finish the remaining slice of chocolate cake. A subtle thank you mutters out softly before walking away, the hallway echoing through each step her heels created.

hands her a small, neatly-wrapped gift for her birthday. it's a cheesy, sherlock-esque hat! upon further inspection, it has a small vial of perfume hidden in it.

              GLOVED HANDS MAKE NO HASTE IN RECEIVING THE NEATLY-WRAPPED GIFT     though the  LILAC DETECTIVE  didn’t expect for him to deliver anything. Lilac irises grow fixated over the design, making a habit for observing things carefully before treading with caution. Of course she didn’t possess any  DISTRUST OVER THE LUCKY STUDENT  though rumors themselves are unworthy of praise. Many surround his reputation with falsehood as others claim them true…she rather confront him personally. Eyes are keen to those movements, still not finding anything to suspect abnormal. Somewhat of a trickster tend to flow within his veins while being sincere in his actions. She delivers  NO EMOTION  but gives a subtle nod, taking the chance of unwrapping this gift before him.  KOMAEDA  seem to deliver this ‘ unsettled stare ’ like a man who watches over silently the world transpiring. It resembled as someone who is awe-struck than being hostile, or so the  LILAC WOMAN  perceives it. 

              THE GIFT ITSELF BRINGS THE STOIC WOMAN SOMEWHAT CONFUSION     though digs deeper into what was seen. There can’t be denying the sherlock-esque possessing its  UNIQUE FLARE , being someone who was a fan of his work. Gloved hands later saw through this guise and uncovers another item hidden within. A vial of perfume appears, coated with a familiar scent that brings a smile over  KIRIGIRI’S  face. Despite the outer shell appearing cold to others, she couldn’t reject the gift as intriguing that perked a lavender’s interest. The  DETECTIVE  gives nothing more than a soft smile that vanishes from wanting to retain her usual demeanor.     ❛     Did someone inform you of my birthday,  KOMAEDA-KUN ? I don’t recall mentioning it to anyone else other than one of my classmates. Though I do enjoy this perfume…heh, you’ve even managed to obtain my favorite scent. Thank you.     ❜

🐺🌙– ‘‘…O- Only your attention’‘. He said, slowly moving his hands from behind himself to reveal a small, pink box decorated with flower imprints. He slowly opened it to reveal a piece of strawberry shortcake with her name under the fruit.

However, that wasn’t the only thing; while one hand held the box, the other fidgeted inside his jacket, fetching a small but elegant necklace decorated with the kanji 真実 (’truth’). After becoming a therapy wolf and earning his first salaries he had gone out of his way to get something made exclusively for her.

‘‘Happy birthday… my love.’‘

              A STOIC GAZE MEETS INTENTLY BEFORE THE OTHER’S HANDS,     quickly taking notice of the flower-imprinted container. She speaks no words but remains focused without reacting, understanding why this was happening. It’s surprising to say the least for the  LILAC WOMAN  to be delivered this gift...especially by her lover. Seeing his gifts touches the  DETECTIVE  deeply without expressing anything more than a soft smile. Gloved hands brushed a lavender strand of hair behind her ear, lips met with her wolf’s for a quick kiss. Digits carefully adjust the necklace around the woman’s neck recognizing the kanji design. They were sound about her  EXISTENCE CENTERING AROUND TRUTH  though ponders of what she could say. Being struck speechless, gloved fingers could merely grasp the necklace to touch it before arms wrapped around his body.     ❛     I wasn’t expecting to receive this but thank you,  IZURU-KUN , my wolf. It’s lovely and something I’ll make certain to take care of.     ❜

kirigiri may fit the high priestess arcana, but she’s the empress of my heart <3 happy birthday my love.

[tantkill]

people can hate all they want about DR3 if they want but you can’t disagree that DR3 future arc had a great introduction for the first minute with that OST AND the remnants of despair being fought against the future foundation leaders. and kirigiri’s narration is tops too

Commission for @supercykes part 1~

[tantkill]

looking back into the final trial of DR1, i’m starting to imagine the activities the 78th class did were moments captured by each of the classmates. the ones who got the pictures are the ones enoshima made them take while the others posed. imagine doing plenty of things with your classmates, then convincing them to take a photo of that moment while secretly plotting to use that against them for the killing game...yep it’s pretty screwed up to realize that. though enoshima herself fucked up for making each photo where her face is hidden. i can’t tell whether or not she did it intentionally or it was the only way to make them go forward.

[burdensword]

FRIENDLY REMINDER: This blog always accepts random starters so long as we’re mutuals. Even with/without plotting, never be afraid to start a thread with me. ✨ ✨

[tantkill]

because she’s in her element despite enoshima erasing her memories as a detective. she failed to realize kirigiri shall always be into solving mysteries and it was something she took pride in. no amount of memory erasing would ever rob that away from her although...you sure you saw a smirk on her face, naegi? then again, it was probably brief and props for naegi to notice those small details

[tantkill]

replaying DR1 from the actual story (due to my memory card being lost by someone, i have to replay from the very beginning) made me start to realize something. i didn’t notice at first but it would make me a little amused to find out that kirigiri is the youngest out of all her classmates. reasons why is due to kirigiri’s manner of setting everyone to calm down and telling them to snap back into reality. the anime cut that out and only made her speak for the crucial moments. so i’m loving kirigiri even more to how she was technically the one telling everyone to calm themselves in that situation.
