“You’re always there for me.”

“The stars are the only thing that makes sense.”

“There’s more out there, you just have to be patient.”

“It doesn’t all have to be existential dread.” 

“You’re so much different when we’re alone.”

“I like it when the worlds quiet.” 

“There’s a place for us somewhere.”

“Your hearts beating so fast.”

“They don’t know what they want.”

“You don’t know what you want.”

Timely Matters || Rachel & Genji

@thezensparrow continued from x

 Having a tight schedule was rather inevitable when you work three jobs. It was the reason she needed to know what time it is whenever she could. However, Rachel doesn’t wear watches and her ability to be telepathic she found phones rather useless. So really the only way she could tell time if she sees a clock or do what she did just now as she was walking around town with a few groceries in her arms and ask someone. 

 Rachel, however, was a bit dumbfounded at the male’s reply to her question. “…I know that it’s afternoon. I asked you what time it is and not what time of day you think it is” she states sternly. “So can you please tell me the actual time is. I’m running on a tight schedule here”.

[thezensparrow-blog]

The girl’s response snapped the man back to reality. Hm, maybe they aren’t as friendly as he thought.

Suddenly feeling guilty, Genji tried finding the words to defend his poor time management. He scratched his neck, and offered the best reply he could think of.

“Sorry, I suppose that wasn’t very helpful….”

“I don’t own a watch. Or a phone. I don’t have a need for them, and no one’s ever asked so….-”

His attention was diverted when he noticed the girl was holding onto multiple grocery bags. Perhaps this was a good way to shift his embarrassment.

“-those look heavy!” he motioned to the bags, on high alert, “Can’t be in much of a rush with those weighing you down. Would you like a hand to wherever you’re going?”

(Un)familiar || Genji & McCree

[thezensparrow-blog]

deadlock-shot‌:

    McCree’s good mood was quickly dashed away when their previous commander was mentioned. He didn’t like to think about what happened during his time at Blackwatch…especially what happened during the incident. 

    Sighing, McCree sat down next to Genji, taking a drag out of his cigar, “I’m not ‘ere under Reyes’ orders,” McCree couldn’t help the venom that was in his voice, “I fell into this place by myself. …also, Blackwatch was disbanded, along with Overwatch.”

    McCree’s hands tightened around his cigar, almost to the point that it was going to break, but he managed to keep his cool…barely. There were few things in this world that got his anger to its max…but Reyes and Blackwatch were two of those things.

    Taking a deeper drag, “Reyes decided that during a mission, that shootin’ the guy in cold blood was the best way to handle things…and we weren’t even s’pposed to go on the mission, Morrison ordered us not to…”

    What happened after that…he really didn’t want to think about. Almost everything in McCree’s life went to shit after the Venice Incident, and he was close to…doing something that couldn’t be reversed. So much guilt filled McCree’s heart after everything was disbanded that he was closing to giving up…then Winston recalled Overwatch…

    Looking at Genji, “And trust me, even if Reyes sent me to get you back…I wouldn’t force ya to come back, hell, I’d join ya and just leave that dammed place…well, that’s a moot point now, isn’t it?” A chuckle rumbled through McCree’s chest.

    “So…how’ve ya been? I see yer not wearin’ yer armor and mask….”

“I see….”

Genji was reluctant to let his guard down. He stood rooted to the Earth and tensed, in case he had to strike fast.

Blackwatch was disbanded? The only way that would be possible is if Morrison had something to do with it. And from the sound of it, perhaps he found a way to infiltrate the organization.

Nobody was supposed to know about Blackwatch, and Reyes had big plans set into play. The cyborg wasn’t too sure if he should believe this story or not- but had no impetus to challenge McCree’s word. They may not be trying to pull him back in by force, but rather, through deceit….

However, if this were a trick, it was certainly uncanny. The twang in the cowboys voice brought him back to the days when they were fighting side by side. He’s familiar with the others bold actions being second guessed by his empathetic heart. McCree, unlike the others, had a mind set for justice.

Genji knew this; and therefore, trusted that he was telling the truth.

The cyborg turned back to the place where he was previously seated, and started walking toward it.

“I have accepted my scars, and the person they made me. As I have with the rest of my body.”

He looked over his shoulder to see McCree still standing there. 

“I’ve found peace in myself, but the journey is far from over. Have you been well since the group disbanded?”

🎱 | 🍺 | 🌞🌜

🎱 - Your character and a talking raccoon walk into a bar… 

“You know, I think you’re the only one in this strange universe that get’s me. This drinks on me.”

🍺 - Cheers! What is your character’s favorite alcoholic beverage?  What was the last thing they got smashed off of? 

Genji love’s a good mixed drink. Doesn’t matter which, the taste of alcohol is just too bad to enjoy straight. It’s a trap, though, because he won’t want to stop drinking it. He recently bought himself some wine to wind down with at home. Needless to say, it was too hard to stop after a few glasses.....

🌞🌜 - Is your character an early bird or night owl? What makes them that way? 

Lately he’s been an early bird. He likes to wake up before it’s light out, travel into the forest, and do his daily meditation as the sun rises.

[thezensparrow-blog]

🔮

🔮 - Your character is having their future told by someone pretty shady. Do they call the fortune teller out or just roll with it? 

Although entertaining, Genji doesn’t buy into soothsayers so easily. He’ll try to challenge them and gain the upperhand. No one could try to convince Genji that they know what his future holds. He doesn’t even know what his future holds.

[thezensparrow-blog]

😁 - Someone just tripped and fell in front of your character.  Do they laugh or help the person up?

Maybe in the past he would laugh first, and then help them. But after being part of teams like overwatch and blackwatch, it’s become instinctive to rush to help someone up, ask if they’re okay, and carry on as usual. 

[thezensparrow-blog]

📬

📬 - A mysterious letter has just been found in their mailbox.  How does your character react?  Who would it be from? 

Considering there’s only two people he writes letters to, it’s either from his master, Zenyatta, or the angel herself, Angela. Either way, Genji feels warm and happy.

Eclipse Watching||Asuna & Genji

@thezensparrow continued from x

 Asuna simply was enjoying the view of the clouds above her. It really was rather intriguing. She knew of the eclipse that was supposed to happen today but now with the clouds she wasn’t sure if anyone would be able to watch it. 

 Hearing the male on the opposite side of the bench, Asuna turns her attention towards him. “That’s rather unfortunate. I heard it is a rather rare occasion so I was really hoping I’d be able to see the eclipse today. Do you think that maybe there is a better spot to watch it?” she asks curiously.

[thezensparrow-blog]

Genji was trying to get over his discomfort of talking to new people, so the girls matching energy was relieving. He looked up to the sky, only to see different shades of grey surrounding them. Now he felt a responsibility to figure this out- Not only for his personal viewing pleasure, but because he doesn’t want to let the girl down.

“I’m sure there is!”

He continued to look around for a clue. When nothing was ringing a bell, he turned back to the other. Nervously scratching his neck, he tried to play it cool.

“I’m not very familiar with Cestrelle, to be honest. I’m usually in Belina. But, I suppose someplace that's high up, or with lighter clouds would be ideal.”

[thezensparrow-blog]

(Un)familiar || Genji & McCree

[thezensparrow-blog]

deadlock-shot‌:

    Relaxation day. That was a phrase that McCree seldom used during his life. But now that he was in Wonderland, and not having to deal with any sort of Overwatch recall, he was able to just sit in the grass, look at the clouds, and just drift off. Today was one of those thankful days.

    Entering the grassland, McCree took off his hat and let the light, chilled breeze of the morning go through his air, enjoying the cooling affect that it had. Walking through the grasses, McCree focused on the sounds that surrounded him: chirping of birds, the buzzing of some insects, and the clicking of machinery- wait what.

    McCree’s faced turned really confused when he heard the foreign sound…but it wasn’t foreign at the same time. Looking around, McCree tried to pinpoint where the sound was coming from…and he couldn’t believe his eyes.

    Shouting, “Genji!? Genji Shimada is that you!?”

    Jaunting over to where the cyborg ninja was, McCree could feel a grin appear on his face; he hasn’t seen a familiar face in what felt like months. And he was thankful that it was Genji…and not someone from another list of familiar faces that he’d rather not see again.

    Getting over to the cyborg, slightly out of breath, “Genji…what in tarnation are you doin’ ‘ere in Wonderland?”

Genji heard the slight movement of something moving toward him. Normally, he’d let whatever it was pass by, and not allow it to disturb his meditation; but today, his anxiety got the best of him. The man stood up quick. He tried to shake off the panicky feeling. Taking a few steps forward, he tried looking toward the direction of the indistinguishable sound. He slowly peaked over the hills bend, only to meet eyes with the last person he’d expect to see in this crazy universe.

Hearing his name shot a cold shiver down his spine. The cyborg felt stuck in this position, and couldn’t seem to make himself move. 

How the hell is he here?

Genji’s mind and body were too stunned to react at first. Instead, he let the other approach him. All the stress, and fear, and anger from his last few months at home surfaced, and washed away all at once. It felt impossible to actually see someone he knew here. And if he’s here….. who else could be, too?

“Jesse McCree,” The name had a sour taste to it. “I… didn’t expect to see you here. I don’t really know how I got here. I thought I was going crazy.”

Genji still hasn’t moved an inch from his spot, eyeing the cowboy up and down, trying to confirm if he was really there or not. His guard was up, just in case something fishy was going on.

“Were you sent here to find me? Is Reyes doing all of this? I already told him, I’m not coming back…”

[thezensparrow-blog]

😢 + 💋 (Romantic or non-romantic, your choice <3)

Send 😢 for my muse to comfort you.  Send 💋 to randomly kiss my muse.

Genji sat on the floor in his apartment, disheveled and exhausted. He leaned against the sofa, clutching the teary cowboy in his good arm. The alcohol he was proud of was now empty, and drunk ramblings went on, and on, and on….

“No, McCree, listen,” the cyborg continued, “Who cares what she did to you? What did she do for you?’

Despite the slurs, he thought he was making a fantastic point.

“That cowgirl bitch doesn’t know Deadlock. She doesn’t know you. You’re the best damn cowboy in overwatch, or the world.  I’m lucky to have had… have fought with you in Blackwatch.” He cusps the cowboys cheeks between his hands, squishing his face; trying oh-so-hard to concentrate on some feature.

“You are Jesse fucking McCree, the best cowboy in the world.”

Genji ends his pep talk with a kiss on McCree’s forehead. And a slap on the cheek.

“Okay?”

[thezensparrow-blog]

Skeptical + life after death

Send me “Skeptical?” + a subject for my muse to give their opinions about it.

“That is a very hard question to answer…”

“I never thought about that kind of thing growing up. It was more about living life to the fullest, because I believed there was nothing that happened afterwards. But, after recent events, I can’t help but think there is a high power working either for us, or against us. Maybe it’s God, and there is a heaven; but I’m skeptical about that too. I think most of the power we have is while we’re here, and alive, and conscious. We are our own higher power, you know? So, to answer the question….. I am not sure. In a way, I think our bodies die, but our souls do not. We travel. To other things, and bodies, and forms, and beings. But that still seems restrictive! What if there’s life outside of Earth? Are we even still on Earth in Wonderland? Is this some kind of purgatory? That’s the REAL question. I, uh-…. I wish Master was here to answer this instead….”

[thezensparrow-blog]

☔

Send ☔ for our muses to share an umbrella on a rainy day.

Everyone hates getting caught in the rain.

Genji especially hated getting caught in the rain.

Although the sound of raindrops pitter-pattering normally relaxed the man, the feeling of soggy clothes sticking to his body was utterly repulsive. Not to mention the briskness of the breeze that followed with the weather. Thankfully, he noticed a person walking out of the same building as him carrying an umbrella- and they were nice enough to share.

Genji offered to hold the umbrella to be polite, being that he is the tallest of the two. His discomfort of talking to strangers seemed to melt away due to the other persons easy-going personality. He tried his best to shield them from the rain as it began to pick up; but the sky was getting darker and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.

“Maybe we should find a better shelter for now?” The cyborg suggested, “It looks like a storm is about to hit.”

Send ☁ for our muses to watch the clouds together.  || Still accepting!

It was unfortunate to see such a mess of clouds littering the sky. Genji usually didn’t mind a slight overcast, but today he was excited for the supposed eclipse. He’s never taken the time to watch one with his own eyes before. This could’ve been a cathartic experience, he thought, if only the forecast wasn’t so dreary.

He noticed a girl sitting on the opposite side of the bench. The man wasn’t sure if she was waiting to watch the spectacle too, but she seemed just as invested in the grey sky.

“Have you heard about today's eclipse?” He asked with a gentle energy, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to see it with this weather.”

[thezensparrow-blog]

Send ⌚ to ask my muse what time it is.

Send ⌚ to ask my muse what time it is  || Still accepting!

“Huh?” Genji was startled by the sudden question. He looked around the vacant area to make sure the girl was really talking to him. People here seem a lot more... friendlier than what he’s used to. Or at least, more open to approaching strangers on the street.

The cyborg didn’t have his watch on him, or any other device to check the time; but he didn’t want to let the girl down. So he went with his first instinct, and looked up to the sky. 

“Looks like it’s just after noon!” He answered, pointing to the direction of the sun. 

[thezensparrow-blog]

☁

Send ☁ for our muses to watch the clouds together. || Still Accepting!

Genji sat in the grass. The crisp fall breeze was perfect for laying outside and clearing the mind, so thought the cyborg. He noticed a younger man may have had a similar idea, as he also took a moment to stay stagnant and enjoy the view. Warm sunshine shone down on the pair; and Genji was feeling particularly lonely.

“You see that cloud?” He broke the silence, “It’s moving so fast. But there’s only a slight breeze. I wonder why it’s in such a rush.”

A small laugh followed.
