SURUGA KANBARU (Monogatari Series)

the former ace of Naoetsu Private High School’s girls’ basketball club

loves to read in general, but is also a huge BL novel enthusiast

looks like a cinnamon roll, but could probably kill you

she definitely does not want to kill you

once made a wish on a mummified devil hand to be able to outrun her classmates, but her plan completely backfired

what resulted eventually after more wishing on the arm was the devil taking part of her soul and the mummified arm fused to her left arm

**as of her current canon point, she is no longer afflicted with the devil arm**

disaster lesbian

ultra intense and energetic

gets up before dawn and runs no less than 20km every morning

she’s the best friend you can probably have

☀️ She fell out of a budding tree with a thud onto her back, embracing something close to her chest. She looked in shock for a moment, before triumphantly holding a white kitten into the air and beaming as she kicked her feet on the ground.

“Tadaa~! You’re safe now, kitty!” She hadn’t noticed she’d almost landed on someone however.

Truthfully, the last thing Suruga expected when she decided on sitting under a tree to read was someone to suddenly come crashing from its branches. But, this is Hive City, and practically anything goes here. Nonetheless, the commotion caused Suruga to reflexively scoot backwards, leading her to hit her head on the tree.

Oof.

“A-Are you okay? The cat may be safe, but that won’t matter if you’re dead on the ground!”

“That should do it,” a list in hand and a bag in the other would have the Uchiha moving away from the markets to begin his trip back home.  A bit of an errand was out of the way which would now have the Uchiha free for whatever may come for the rest of the day.  He was uncertain of what to do so far, but he figured he would find something to occupy his time with may it be with training or keeping company of another.

The city was full of those she’d seen prior and those she’d yet to meet, and yet the line between those was but a washed up etching in the sand, so to speak. In Suruga’s case here, she’d just as readily assume everyone was as friendly to her as she was to them. But, as with any place she wasn’t used to, it was better to exercise caution. Still, she was also pretty certain she recognized this one as someone who’d helped her in the past.

With long strides, she made her approach, jumping onto a railing first and leaping over his head to land perfectly in front of his path.

“A mighty fine afternoon it is to be ambushed, is it not?” Here she stood, hands on her hips, so proud of herself for such a maneuver.

egreborg:

She’s certainly talkative. He does need to correct her on her assumption of him being an alien.

“I am a human. I was enhanced with Borg technology.” He peered over the books and then looked at the other. “These books are primitive. Is it not easier to download the contents? That way, you do not lose time going through texts.”

He squints and selects a book, making sure the other could see the cover. “Unless it is done for diversion. Which books do you recommend? Have I chosen an appropriate book?”

Oh. On another glance, human, he more likely is. Oops -- an oversight on her part. Nonetheless, she directs her attention to him and then to the books.

“Sorry, sorry. To be honest, I’d never seen anyone of your kind here before. But this city is host to many different species, it’s a bit hard to keep track. Still, to see that you’re interested in books is relieving -- it’s not so much the content, though that has a large part in my enjoyment.” And here she goes on her chattering, again, this time with sweeping hand gestures accompanying it.

“Consider reading an experience! The thrill of the journey of going through a story and seeing it to completion, the suspense that keeps you longing for more. Sure, it may take less time, but it would be a lot less fun! Ah, as for a recommendation--” She nods in approval at his choice. “That one -- Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland -- indeed!”

Reimu carefully aimed a shot. She’d get it this time. Definitely. Just deep breaths, careful aim, aaaaand—

A voice calling out right as she took a shot, making the arrow veer off into another direction.

Reimu’s shoulders shook. She had it. SHE HAD IT.

And as soon as Suruga was done with her little speech, she whipped around, smacking the poor girl on the head with the bow. If it wasn’t for the high quality build of the toy, it would’ve broken in half with the force.

「Believe in me quieter, Suruga!」

“Oof--” She rubbed her head, shooting a vaguely annoyed glance at the other. And what was the big idea here, what with her smacking her with the bow? That didn’t hurt, but it didn’t feel good either. If she’d hit any harder, she would have done some serious damage--

Her eyes widened at the sudden onslaught of an idea -- probably a bad idea at best. She spoke up immediately, thinking that there was no time to waste on such a thing. Especially when she figured that it could possibly help Reimu.

“I can’t necessarily abide by that request -- to believe in someone means to do it as loudly as possible. But, it goes to show that bow is pretty strong. I mean, there’s nothing that says you can’t use the bow itself as a projectile. Surely that might be a better approach than simply firing those little arrows at your targets!” She’s certain this is a genius-level idea.

People are skirting around him in the store (or outright walking another direction) but he’s not taking any notice. He’s actually more interested in a display of books on sale. He takes one and begins to flip through it, but notices someone standing nearby.

“Were you wishing to examine the books?”

“Mmhmm!” No sooner does the voice address her that she turns her head toward him and belt out that affirmation. Though, that cursory glance of his features leads her gaze to remain on him for a moment longer, after which she merely blinks. A cosplayer he appears to be, indeed, and one with such detail to his costume. Or perhaps, the more likely explanation-- “To be honest, I have never browsed through books with an alien before! I had no idea this was a possibility, but even in this place, anything goes. I may not look it, but I am a connoisseur when it comes to literature -- I can give you some recommendations if you’re willing!”

“Whoa, what the fuck are you?!”

Mina has no idea what this…thing…is. She has no idea if it can even understand her question, though its shape is vaguely humanoid. It stands hunchbacked, slightly shorter than her in its slouching position but could uncurl itself to be seven feet tall at least, with only two long fingers on each hand and drooping fins for ears. She can’t tell what color its leathery skin is in this shitty light. It stares at her with sorrowful eyes. She wasn’t going to try and strike up a conversation with one of these whatever-the-fuck-you-call-them, but it doesn’t look like she has much choice now. What does this mean for her situation? What’s she supposed to say?

“Well, damn. I mean – I had no idea the Concern kept stuff like you in its sewers? Like, we could be under City fucking One right now and there’s weird people-ish creatures? In the sewer? The fuck?”

Whatever she’s supposed to say, that’s not it. The pariah shifts, agitated. Someone get her away from it before she provokes it too much.

@theformerace

Call Suruga reckless, or just a bit adventurous. Regardless, she’s taken quite the detour, and on a run that’s changed from its usual early morning affair to a late night one. It’s not as if she’s been able to sleep well since she arrived back here, and so she’s out to clear her head -- or try, anyway.

Save the thoughts that rattle through her head, it’s all quiet -- that is, until she’s deep into a network of some suspicious alleyways that carve through this district. Wherever she is now, it’s probably not the best place for a teenage girl to be. But, she’s a big kid and by gosh, she can take care of herself, right?

That’s what she thinks as she approaches one such alley, noises of someone’s chattering echoing from the brick. Yikes, that monster, and that girl too -- just what is she thinking, provoking it like that? Suruga rushes toward the girl in a sprint, trying to pull the other out of immediate danger without trying to draw too much attention.

“This isn’t safe at all! Get out, now!”

“What is a lesbian?”

“Well, well. If it isn’t your lucky day, young miss!”

“It is my hope that you’re prepared to take in such life-changing, earthshattering knowledge!” Please sit down; this is probably going to take a while, if the athlete’s excited preamble is any indication.

The booth, apparently set up by the shooting or archery class or whatever, had its participants use a toy bow and arrow to knock down a tower of bottles. It was extremely similar to a game that was often present at festivals in Gensokyo, but just with a toy bow.

So you’d think Reimu would be good at it.

Yeah, she thought so too.

「Ghrr, come on!」  The prizes lining the top shelf no longer mattered to her. She just wanted the tower knocked down for principle’s sake.

The school grounds, lined with many activities and exhibits from the varying clubs, draws Suruga here on this particular occasion. She wanders the grounds in search of anything and everything of interest, stopping and partaking in everything. It’s on her rushed approach of this exhibit that she hears the very familiar shouting of a very familiar shrine maiden.

“Oho! If it isn’t Hakurei-san! It’s been such a while since I’ve last seen you, even! To be honest, I thought you’d have been spirited away, or devoured by plants, or even worse--” She visibly shudders at the thought, recalling just why she came over to begin with.

“--Hmm. If we’re going by the objective of this game, it’s to hit those targets; that’s all you gotta do! I believe in you, Hakurei-san!” Thanks, Suruga.

Don’t mind the knight if he seems a bit down at the moment. He has experienced heartbreak for the first time, after all. This type of loss… hurt more than loosing a comrade in arms.

For now, he’s just going to sit on this bench and stare blankly ahead.

Cue one Suruga, whose determination to climb this really tall tree derailed her travels to this school festival people have been buzzing about. She’s on her way back down from having cleared this objective, but decides to spring down at the opportune moment... upside down and hanging from one of the middle branches as per usual.

Who knew there’d be something... someone (?) sitting there, though... If she’d gone any further, she would have surely knocked them over! Nonetheless, shes still wholly obligated to save face here, and that, she tries. “Oh, ho, ho! To think I seem to have taken a wrong turn to get back down from this tree... such is a grave oversight on my part! You wouldn’t happen to know the way down, would you?”

@theformerace​

“The world is a stage,” so says the bard. Kaoru took it to heart, allowing life to play out like a… well, a play. The world chose her to act as the prince, and so she did.

It also helped explain some of the… stranger… instances of her life, especially in Hive City.

Which is why when a girl literally fell into her arms with nary a warning, Kaoru kept her cool.

「Ah, what did I do, for the world to drop an angel into my arms? Destiny shines upon me, as our meeting has been ordained by the stars.」 Kaoru was practically sparkling.

What was initially a graceless maneuver in the middle of a casual stroll -- her tripping over a part of the sidewalk in disrepair -- turned out to be anything but.

Whatever she was saying, Suruga completely glossed over, her initial thoughts of ahhh, she’s so cute blocking out anything else that was going on around her.

Act cool, act cool -- this being what she kept telling herself, and in that silence she was afforded the opportunity to speak. Might as well make it count--

“Tada!” Nailed it.

“Tsk, tsk. President is so passe, not even us olden folk are considering it a game of choice.”

“These days, UNO is all the rage! I, Kanbaru Suruga, will gladly challenge anyone to a fair and friendly match!”
