I'm now over on @cymerae, my new multimuse that has both my original characters and canon characters.
cymerae is a selective multimuse featuring both canon and original characters from a variety of fandoms — this particular promo focusing on the manga sakamoto days. written by jean ( they / them – 30+ – mst ). oc & crossover friendly. 21+ only. give this a ♡ or a ↺ if you're interested & please read the guidelines before following. carrd.
Another post reminding those who still follow me that I've moved to my oc/canon mix multimuse. You can now find me at @cymerae.
For those who follow me over, I look forward to writing with you.
For those who decide this is where our paths end, thank you for your time & take care.
Do you think you’ll be returning to tumblr soon? You’re missed!
This was a touching ask to receive. Thank you. It actually made my day to know someone was thinking about me.
But to answer your question, I think so! However, I am moving blogs. I just need to finish my carrd or have some bare minimum character info on the blog. All the ocs found on this blog are going to be there, so honestly if you want the link to the blog anyway you can just let me know.
Without getting into it — I’m dealing with death in my real life right now. So I can see Juno being a comforting muse to write.
Kicks open hiatus coffin. The game Juno is based off of (A Date With Death) releases its DLC tomorrow. There is at least 5 more hours of gameplay, babygirl is fully voice acted and more. I’m so hyped. Plus I can already tell this is going to wake up my Juno muse. Watch out for your local goth mortician turned grim reaper.
“ I don’t know why they'd think this particular job needs to have a sexy costume. “ She mused, holding what appears to be a sexy Mortician getup. At least that's what the tag claims. What dangled from the hanger included; a simple white corset, a saucy little collar and neck tie combo and a pair of black high waisted booty shorts. At this moment she couldn't help but laugh. " Yeah — I guess I can see their vision. "
Talking @astarab1aze into coming to Shibuya with her was easier than she thought. Apparently Kaede’s birthday is on Halloween. After learning he had no plans to celebrate — Jett decided that they were going to hang out. So naturally, they required costumes. He was going to have fun, even if she has to bully him a bit.
" Have you thought any more about your costume? I know you weren't sure earlier, but we're here. So we gotta pick something. "
❝ it's busy, i didn't see you there. maybe you should grow a few inches. then people would see you. ❞ he comments dryly, unbothered by the attitude that she has taken up with him. it's rare that anyone would have bothered him after seeing his tattoos; they were usually a sign for most people to stay away. he doesn't care if they get spotted in public, using them as a means to get his space.
he had seen her hop the gate on the way there, but he couldn't be bothered to scold her for it. the last thing that he cares about is the finances of a monster company like the train lines. though, he does think that she might be a little bit out of her element here. trying to take a luxury that she cannot afford. his own train card is stocked up for the month, something that his family could do without sneezing about the cost of it. there is no need for thievery when a family has as much money as his does.
when she reached out to grab his headphone, he seizes her at the wrist. it took her quite the stretch to do so, but he won't let her get away with it so easily. holding her wrist in his grasp, he gives it a squeeze. a warning sign. he doesn't want to start a fight in the middle of the train, but it might not be above him.
If he was the sort of guy who wanted people to know he was Yakuza, he must be bad.
Try as she might to rationalize it, there was no way around the ugly truth. Ginko resented the Yakuza, meaning anyone with the said tattoos were on her shit list. There was a primal hate bubbling inside, too loud for his quip or rationale to be heard. Instead of Sabu , he was merely a physical manifestation of everything she lacked. How are you thrive, you piece of shit? His grasp snatched her wrist like a rattlesnake. A sharp yelp escaping as he made contact. Due to his stature, raising his arm would cause the girl to dangle above the floor. Whether it's plain stupidity or a confrontational nature, she did not heed his warning.
" Fuck you. " She hissed, aiming a swift kick at his shin.
@sozokujins a humble brag , but it was true. he wouldn't have bothered investing his time in her had he not truly believed she was capable. “ but also don't lose , i put a lot of money on you. ” ichiro added lightheartedly , to soften the mood. “ kidding , not kidding. no pressure. ” cont.
Trembling breathes left her as she examined at her reflection. Wow — she was wearing legitimate fighting attire. Not a hint of make up or sex appeal. The old maid getup had begun to feel like her second skin. “ Wow — I never thought I’d see the day. ” That's when she felt the man's hands on her shoulders
“ Careful, Ichiro. I’m not the kind of girl who likes to be touched. “ Ginko chimed her warning sweetly. Startling her could easily end up an elbow cracking your nose. “ You’re just lucky that you stink. ” A smirk; as her boss, she’ll give him the courtesy of not letting that insult hang in the air. “ I smelled your cologne when you came in. Trying something new? ”
For the first time in as long as she can remember, the delinquent was genuinely nervous. These aren't the sort of fights that are rigged. Nor was it a petty street fight. Training has been kicking her ass for the last few months. However, the gravity of what she was actually facing was starting to unnerve her. Not only was supposed to win a fight against a trained opponent, this was all in front of a crowd — while money in on the line. That's quite a bit of pressure. The Yakuza's joke didn't help, either. No pressure my ass. He won't even let her have a cigarette until after the fight. Bogus.
" Don’t worry — I work well under pressure. ” A comforting lie. Not one she’s sure he’ll even believe, but as long as she gets results she can lie all the live long day. “ Hey, while you're here. Can you give me a quick refresher on my opponent? ” She turned to face him. “ Look — I know we’ve been talking about this fight for months. It’s just that going over the facts again will help me focus. Please? " Her request was accompanied by a sweet, genuine tone. Not a hint of snark in sight. Drink it in, Ichiro. This is a rare moment of vulnerability.
there was a suspicion on what this conversation might consist of. however, she would let jett tell her what was up and then they could go from there. figure things out and come to some conclusion on a solution to this problem or advice on what she could possibly do. lily was a trusting woman. it got her into a lot of trouble--at least that was what satoru always said. it seems like jett might think the same thing but honestly it didn't bother her.
[txt - jett] i'm sure and if you were a bother i wouldn't have insisted. don't worry about bringing boba for the kids. they seem like they are going to be crashing out for a nap soon lol here.
that's when she sent out the address for their home.
[txt - jett] i'm going to order the boba. i can just have it delivered to the house that way you don't have to worry about it.
Wow — that address was closer than she would have expected, considering Satoru's private nature. In fact, she could probably walk there in less than half an hour. Huh — she just now noticed that she saved Lily's number as 'Satoru's wife'. That'll change.
[txt - lily] got it! if my phone is right, i'll be there in like 30 mins? [txt - lily] so i'll start heading over now.
Giving the apartment a once over, she was both checking if everything was okay and that she had her stuff. In the bathroom were a bundle of positive piss sticks in a plastic bag. However, before she could drop it into her purse — Tano began yapping. Once her highness was sufficiently calmed down, Jett headed out the door.
Upon reaching the steps, she heard Kentaro's voice. He's at work — when they live above his bar? The audacity of this man. Who could have seen this coming. " Okay... Just act natural. " She assured herself, stepping into view. Before he could speak, the woman caught a horrible cause of verbal diarrhea. " Sorry honey, I can't talk. Gotta go do um — something. I love you! " With that, she practically ran out the door. Shame washed over her, but this was no time to dwell on her horrible attempt to act natural.
After a quick stop at a convenient store, she finally made it to the address Lily sent. What was before her was a quaint little house. For a second, she stepped forward to knock. Then she remembered the kids were probably sleeping. So she opted to text.
[txt - lily] hey lily, i'm here. [txt - lily] at least, I think so.
kimiko and kaito were running around the house happily. lily was watching them with a smile on her face. satoru was still working and she knew he would likely be home at some point. he usually called her when he was on his way home so she could get his dinner prepared. however, she didn't expect an unknown number to pop up on her phone with such an explanation. oh, jett? she remembered kentaro was talking about her.
[txt - jett] oh! hello! sorry we haven't met yet. i'd love to get boba with you. we'd have to do it when the kids are in school but i would enjoy that!
she then went back to watching the kids before her phone went off a few times. hmm. looking down at her phone, she couldn't help but chuckle.
[txt - jett] how about this.. i'll send you our address. the kids are playing right now but i can order us some boba and you can just come over? it'll be a bit more private than some boba shop.
Fortunately, Kentaro wasn't home at the moment, so she was free to pace the living room while awaiting a response. No need to worry him, right? At least, that's how she's justifying putting off such an important conversation. Before she could dwell on that fact, there was a ding. Lily responded. "Oh, okay. I'll ask what their schedule is... " That's went her second text popped up. " Wait, she wants me to come to her house? Right now? " Honestly, this level of trust was confusing. " I'm practically a stranger... " Well, the girlfriend of her husband's cousin. Not a perfect stranger, but it's not much better if your connection is a mouthful like that.
[txt — satoru’s wife] oh... are you sure? [txt — satoru’s wife] that's so sudden and i don't want to bother you.
She had to stop herself from being a coward and actually accept the help. Jett reached out to Lily for a reason. Not only that, she seems more than willing.
[txt — satoru’s wife] if you're sure, i can bring over the boba or something for the kids as thanks. i really appreciate the help, lily.
@hoshizorax random starter for Lily.
Finding a woman to seek guidance from has been harder than Jett was expecting. Her mother wasn’t an option. That woman would only leak info to her father, and her stalking problems would follow her to Japan. For her own safety, she had to look outside of her own family. However, there was still Kentaro’s family. Isn’t his cousin married — with children?
Lily, Satoru’s wife. The two were aware of each other, but had never spent time together. She gets the impression that the woman is a pink ray of sunshine. Quite lovely, really. So if that’s the case, maybe she would be willing to lend an ear.
Plus — since they have kids, maybe she’s gone through these feelings. It couldn’t hurt, right? Well — she could go and tell Kentaro herself before Jett has the chance to; and because he didn’t hear it from her, he hates her now… However, that’s just the anxiety gremlins spiraling. Nothing to actually take into account… Right?
Taking a deep breath, she pulled up the woman’s contact info.
[txt — satoru’s wife] hey Lily! It’s Jett, Kentaro’s girlfriend.
[txt—satoru’s wife] I know this is a bit out of the blue, but I was wondering if you’d like to get boba with me sometime?
Come on. Add a little more information so it sounds like more than idle we should hang out sometime banter. You want her advice, so just say that.
[txt — satoru’s wife] there’s something I’d like to get your advice on, girl to girl
[txt — satoru’s wife] only if that’s ok with you, ofc! i know you got young kids so you’re probably pretty busy
[txt — satoru’s wife] uh just let me know! thanks!
With that, she threw her phone to the other side of the bed. “ You awkward, fucking idiot… ”
"eesh. really? you don't want to be more like me?" wait--no, that was hanzo. it really seemed like the cousins came in order. kei was like kimiko, hanzo was like him, and hitomi was much more like noriko. it explained a lot.
" No way! That's Hanzo, you big dummy. " Both Kaito and her brother were goof balls in their own way. Fun to know — but she wouldn't want to be like them. " Oh, right. Speaking of my brother, Kei and him are at the arcade. We thought it would be cool to have a cousin hang out thing. Did you want to come? "
the cousins (kimiko, kaito, noriko, kei, hanzo, and hitomi) are pretty close. noriko is a bit distant with everyone but hitomi but she felt closer to her since hitomi was a baby. not that noriko doesn't love her family. she is just hard to connect with and she understands that. hitomi and her just connect more.
❝ you've come to see me again, ❞ muses the rabbit. it makes sense, he figures. who else but me? ❝ it must have been difficult for you. my time is in particularly high demand these days. ❞
with his post as manager and number one host, it can be almost impossible to table with him without an advanced reservation. that is, however, unless you are on his list ... the list he leaves at the door for the rookie host to sweat over and check names and credentials to be sure they are who they say they are. thus, he has been waiting for her. it is a different list than the one he keeps in the back of his black book ... but upon closer inspection, some names start to cross.
he wonders when, if ever, her name will be penned between the pages of that index. for now, her own page is dedicated to little things he's noticed; things she likes, doesn't like, wants to discuss, and what she refrains from. it is no different from the tabs he keeps on any other client. in fact, any other seasoned host is known to do the same. it keeps up the illusion for when he's purging in the bathroom the copious amounts of alcohol he's ingested over the evening as he tries to remember the name of his latest customer's most recently deceased cat. it's bitter work.
❝ and yet, i have to admit ... ❞ he leans forward, elbows across the table as he begs a secret to be spilled, ❝ ... you're the only one worth seeing these days. ❞ he leans back to proper posture. ❝ i'm glad it's you. now, ❞ he says, clearing his throat, ❝ what's on the menu for us tonight, hm? ❞ — @tearenola
" You have no idea, Ren! " She whined, playing up the joke for show. They both knew that with his favor, she was able to waltz right in. " I had to fight off a couple of the rookies at the door. Too bad for them — I'm the stubborn type. " A small laugh. " Bet they haven't seen too many girls like me before. Y'know, I almost feel bad for them. "
Brown eyes locked onto the top host as she approached his table. As soon as he was in view — she was able to smell it. His signature scent. The first notes to hit her were a olfactory bouquet of jasmine and rose. However, she knew as their time progressed it would fade into a lovely blend of sweet tobacco and sandalwood. The woman has a theory that you can tell quite a bit about a person based off their scent. The rabbit smelled like a seasoned professional who knew what he was doing. Some men make the mistake of thinking more expensive cologne will always be better. She has dubbed these lot aging fuck boys. The sort that neither had a personal style or a clue about those they wished to attract. Walking through their establishment, she could smell a variety of blends. Although there were some she didn't personally like, thought and effort were obviously there. She was left to wonder — was this their choice or was it coaching from their manager.
He got her — just a little bit. The combination of his fragrance, calculated movements and his finely tuned words aiming to make her feel like the most important girl in the room. Hell, even the fact that he's granted her special access. Despite knowing the game, he made her heart skip a beat. If only for a second. Now, she's not the type to become visibly flustered that easily, especially at the hands of another sex worker. So fortunately for her, the crack in her armor can remain a secret. However, her own act wasn't perfect. She paused instead of firing off her own retort.
The perceptive might make note of that. " Well it sounds like someone missed me. Maybe you should come visit me sometime. " Regaining her composure, Ginko took her seat right next to the rabbit. " Hm — that's a good question... As you know, I don't drink... " Around new people, but that remains unsaid. " Have you eaten recently? "
"you're no fun! if you keep that attitude, you're going to grow up and be just like noriko. no fun, always serious, blaaaaaaaand. do you really want that??? it's a travesty, really."
A gasp, followed by another smack. " You take that back right now, mophead! Noriko isn't bland — she's really cool! So yes, I do want to grow up and be like her. "
"still a little kid to me, squirt. anyway! what are you up to?"
Rage built up in little miss five-foot-nothing as she gave her cousin's arm a good smack. " I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the arcade with me. " Another smack. " But — now I don't think you deserve it. "
