' if you want my bones, i shall give them to you. if you want my heart, then i will gladly hand it over '

' so you want the right over my life and death? '

' even if you manage to save the world, you still won't be saved '

' you will live to the end and be happy '

' i am used to the pain. similarly, i am familiar with death. don't you already know this? '

' every story has a value. it is a story that is interesting to some people and salvation for others '

' what if all this was nothing more than a sweet lie? '

' i only liked the people i liked and saved the people i cared about '

' can't you change your repertoire of greetings already? i almost died for real this time, you know? '

' from the beginning till the end, i was always the one being saved '

' the hurt we inflicted on each other would not be erased '

' so many misfortunes exist in this world, so is there a reason to feel sorrow for every single one of them? '

' even if you do save one world, every other world you have forsaken will drag you down to hell '

' i don't want to be a monster '

' to someone who even lost the traces of loss, no such things as 'loss' existed '

' you know this too, right? the last one to laugh is the winner '

' it's been a while. you are still ugly '

' from the beginning, it was definitely dogshit '

' there is no magic that will heal all wounds just because someone else has a deep wound as well '

' we are life and death companions '

' i have no thoughts of saving you '

' i can kill all of them if i want. therefore, i can save all of them if i want '

' we promised. you forgot? '

' my death isn't a part of your plan '

' if there is no sense of death then the value of life also disappears '

' you want to save this world? it's the same for me, too '

' will i ever get to meet you again? '

' i like you. so don't die '

' i couldn't rage when i wanted to rage. i couldn't be sad when i wanted to grieve '

' you don't know anything so shut up '

' we'll be happy after this, right? '

' maybe, just maybe, i could've endured it '

' i wanted to live longer, even if i was a bit less happy. that's why i was a slave to capitalism '

' it seems to be that you actually enjoy dying or getting kidnapped '

' we can save the world. don't you know? '

' by the way, are you a couple? '

' the one who can save the world... it might be you, not me '

' someone was left and someone was leaving. no matter what was chosen, everyone would always reach their end '

' i'll definitely save you, too '

' do the ones that can't remember anything also forget about their sorrow, too? '

' i don't need a person like you '

' if i forget about everything... i won't feel this pain anymore, right? '

' can you promise not to give up on that goal, no matter what? '

' why, why is it not me, but you? '

' i shall pray that you may continue to exist somewhere, too '

' i remember the first time i was about to finish a book. it was like being deprived of the world '

' none of you will return alive '

' if i couldn't believe in him, who could i believe in the first place? '

' why did you die for us over and over? '

' just because i am a murderer doesn't mean i want to keep killing '

@cybrvce / @sculmask | things said in an adventuring party ( accepting! )

"Being smart had never stopped me from being a complete fucking idiot." (Akira to Futaba!)

She couldn't help the laugh that escaped her. To her credit, she had resisted it for a few seconds at least, but the sudden game over screen combined with his exasperated comment a moment later had ultimately sealed the deal. Her eyes squeezed shut as she shook her head, reaching with one hand to offer Akira a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"Ah- ahaha! Oh, that was gold. I didn't even know you could do that!" That was the thing about classic adventure games, you never knew what they would throw at you, and sometimes the simplest action could mess things up catastrophically.

"But hey, you got pretty far! This chapter is even tricky in the remaster, and they totally toned down the difficulty." She adjusted her glasses, eyes practically sparkling as she looked over to the cartridge sticking up from the top of the vintage console he had set up beside the tv. "It's so cool that you found a copy of the original!"

10 true facts about fortuna's fledgling star: Tsubasa Oribe!

Tsubasa's favorite color is pink ( she does wear it a lot! )

Tsubasa cries while watching disney movies ( some of them can be very emotional, okay - Frozen, Big Hero 6 and Lilo and Stitch get to her the most )

Tsubasa can't spell resturaunt ( give her time, she'll get there eventually )

Tsubasa is a theatre kid ( technically her sister was the theater kid but Tsubasa picked a lot of it up from her )

If Tsubasa likes someone, she will give them a pretty rock ( ... I cannot dispute this )

Tsubasa sucks at saying tongue twisters ( she gets tongue tied very easily when nervous, so I can only imagine )

Tsubasa is great with kids ( she totally would be )

Tsubasa can play the kazoo ( y e s )

If Tsubasa was presented with an intergalactic portal, she would enter it without question ( random portals are almost normal for her at this point tbh )

Tsubasa is a simp ( -looks at the way she acts around Kiria sometimes-... well, it's not wrong )

@infog replied:

Adachi: no, no, you’re spelling it all wrong. It’s not steak, it’s STAKE. 🙄

".... Are you sure? That doesn't really sound right." A pause, a glance toward a nearby shop advertising steak skewers, then back to him. "Wouldn't that mean that everyone is spelling it wrong?"

[voxcrystallis]

"So... how many a's are there supposed to be in steaaaaaak, exactly? I've only ever seen it written in the short form."

[outllawed]

@voxcrystallis liked for a starter.

Cid could never say he was a dog person, but several important people had insisted the hideaway keep the hound. Irritating that there was one more mouth to feed, but Cid reasoned he was technically a survivor of the night of flames. Ah the story he could tell if he could only speak human words.

He leaned back in his chair as he eyes the pooch up and down while smoking a cigar-- a rather terrible habit of his that his daughter insisted he quit.

"If you're looking for a bone, then I don't have any, Charon's the one you want to see for that." He said. The Hound would figure his way around eventually. Probably.

[voxcrystallis]

This was all still new to him – this place, as well as the people in it. The sounds of activity rippled through hideaway, as smells that had yet to become familiar to the hound drifted aimlessly within corridors of stone. The last time that he had been welcomed in a space such as this, which so many others called a home, he had been but a pup... How long had it been, since then?

Torgal watched the man in front of him intently, his head slightly tilting at the word 'bone'. Indeed, he would not have turned one down if it had been offered, but it wasn't the hope of treats that had led him there... it was Cid himself. Perhaps it was gratitude, perhaps it was curiosity, but the hound had been following him around for some time, even if at an uncertain distance before now.

After a moment of consideration, he began to take a few steps closer. His tail swayed slightly in a friendly manner as he sniffed the air between them and... rather abruptly sneezed, tucking his head down between his front paws as he did so. It seemed that there were some scents that would take more time for him to get used to than others.

Physical Contact Starters | @voxcrystallis

“Don’t tell me you can’t handle a little sparring.” - Akechi to Akira

Akira hadn't expected this; he's come to Mementos with Yusuke to help with his art, with Morgana, Ann, and Ryuji to talk, and then, of course, to try and get to the bottom of this insane place. But this? He's taken aback, but not entirely thrown off guard. He's learned to be prepared for anything - even when he doesn't see it coming.

Akechi's tone is almost mocking, almost mean, and it makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Still, he simply shrugs, hands in his pockets, not wanting to show how unnerved all of this has made him. Fighting with his teammates in any sense of the word isn't something he enjoys, but this - just the two of them, alone in Mementos - has the capacity to go wrong.

"Of course I can," he says with casual nonchalance, still keeping his hands in his pockets, though he's ready at any moment to retaliate if Akechi makes any kind of sudden move. "Just wondering why, I guess. But I'm ready if you are."

[voxcrystallis]

Though his expression was partly obscured behind his mask, the subtle curve of his lips into the suggestion of a sly smile could still be made out even in the ominously dim light of Mementos. It had been much easier than he had thought to arrange this – even Morgana had caught on to his desire for privacy and ever so helpfully chose to stay behind without questioning it. Perhaps he should thank the cat for his consideration later, but for now... Oh, he was going to enjoy every minute of this.

Akechi had not known how Akira would react to his sudden challenge, let alone the fact that he had made it with a weapon already in hand. He had to give him credit for maintaining his composure at least, as much as he would have relished the chance to witness an expression of unfiltered shock on his rival's face. Alas, perhaps another opportunity for that would present itself at another time...

"Why?" The scarlet-clad Crow repeated with a chuckle, his voice light as he began to ready himself. "I've seen you fight shadows, Joker, but most couldn't hold a candle to your skill. Have you never wondered what you might be capable of against a stronger opponent?"

He certainly had, and he was keen to uncover the answer. Time and again, the leader of the Phantom Thieves had bested him in their friendly little competitions - darts, billiards, the batting cages - but not here. No, surely this was a field on which he could not lose. "Well, come on then, and don't hold back. Let me see what you can really do!"

// I am home!! I had a fantastic day. we went out to lunch, popped into the ~fancy~ arcade at the mall to play some rhythm games and crane games (the plushies escaped me this time but it was fun!), and then checked out some shops and a couple of my favorite bookstores

thank you to everyone who sent happy birthday wishes! 💕

[voxcrystallis]

// I will be busy with irl birthday shenanigans for most of today ( I am now officially 28! ), buuuut once I get home, the plan is to hopefully post some replies... and maybe work a bit on a little surprise, as a treat 🎂

[voxcrystallis]

The soft scent of various flowers lingered in the air, drifting gently from the florist's shop in one corner of the mall. Behind the counter, a boy wearing the store's uniform carefully fussed with a particularly voluminous arrangement. From where the vase sat on the workspace, some of the larger blooms were taller than him, partially obscuring his view of the entrance. That didn't stop him from hearing the approaching steps of another person, however.

"Welcome to Rafflesia–" The greeting was muffled by foliage at first, before Ren could fully extract himself from the oversized work-in-progress. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

various things spoken in an adventuring party pt.3

a little assortment of quotes and sayings i've found doom scrolling through pinterest that i think an adventuring party would say during their never ending perilous adventures . please do not copy/repost or add to this list, thank you!

Affectionate ❛ how terrible it is to love something that death can touch  ❜ ❛ i never craved attention until i tasted yours  ❜ ❛ i don’t want to have the world’s attention. Yours is enough.  ❜ ❛ you cant just touch my soul and leave  ❜ ❛ your hands are scarred from murder, and yet I trust them completely  ❜

Questions ❛ you seem somewhat familiar. have i threatened you before?  ❜ ❛ why am I so fascinated by you?  ❜ ❛ you risked so much for me. why would you do such a thing?  ❜ ❛ it’s time you start talking! what did you do?!  ❜ ❛ do you really think they were a tender flower you could trample upon?  ❜

Banter ❛ i just like to argue with you cause it’s funny.  ❜ ❛ unfortunately for everyone, i will keep doing whatever i want.  ❜ ❛ i think god is gonna have to kill me twice.  ❜ ❛ the next time i open up to someone is my autopsy  ❜ ❛ you walk a fine line between beautifully macabre and uncharacteristically psychotic, you know that?  ❜

Tragedy ❛ i thought we’d have more time  ❜ ❛ if i disappear, will you look for me?  ❜ ❛ let us live, since we must die  ❜ ❛ i cant live in a world where you dont exist  ❜ ❛ i talk to the gods, but the sky is empty.  ❜

Fierce ❛ do not forget what i am.  ❜ ❛ this destruction will be your rebirth.  ❜ ❛ you are filled with poison but blessed with beauty and rage  ❜ ❛ when you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives  ❜ ❛ you have no power over me.  ❜

Antagonistic ❛ leave them at the bottom of the grave they dug for you.  ❜ ❛ and you call me a monster  ❜ ❛ being against evil doesn’t make you good.  ❜ ❛ so, tell me little one, do you want to punish those that have wronged you?  ❜ ❛ i’m the friendliest evil person you will ever meet. ❜

BONUS

FROM THE HERO TO THE VILLAIN ❛ running doesn’t matter. I’ll hunt you down if i have to  ❜ ❛ no one wearing a crown comes in the name of peace  ❜ ❛ our bones are stained with sin, scorched from fire, broken by betrayal, soaked with blood, and yet we still keep fighting!  ❜ ❛ you want to kill me? fine. get in line.  ❜

FROM THE VILLAIN TO THE HERO ❛ i’ve met scarecrows with more spine than you  ❜ ❛ can you hear the screams of the people? can you hear them serenading me as i ascend? their pain is my pleasure in the heavens. they worship me with their grief. and now so will you.  ❜ ❛ if bravery had a face, it certainly wouldn’t look like yours  ❜ ❛ my power knows no bounds, and your efforts to defy me are like whispers lost in a hurricane  ❜ ❛ oh, look at you, attempting greatness! pity it’s just an attempt.  ❜

[voxcrystallis]

// since I'm still feeling like I'm in a crossover plotting mood after that ptn!Popola post, let's talk about Lizel for a bit -

something fun about Lizel is that the way his canon is set up makes it extremely easy to slip him into other settings, especially ones that fall into the fantasy genre

to go into more detail, Lizel is a duke (who was also given the title of prime minister) with a lot of experience in court politics and a talent for negotiation, and the king has come to rely on him... which is a problem when Lizel is swept away into another world by magic from an unknown source

so his entire thing, plot-wise, is being unexpectedly pulled into a world unknown to him, not knowing how to get back, and deciding to treat the situation like a little vacation since there's not really anything he can do about it for now. in canon, he arrives in the city of Parteda, but for crossovers I can literally drop him almost anywhere. so long as there's some form of magic, books, and a world to go adventuring in, he's pretty much good to go

it doesn't necessarily have to be the same 'type' of fantasy, either. I love the thought of him ending up a more modern setting, like ffxv for example, and being fascinated by the technology. this guy once bought the entire stock of a bookstore because he wanted to read everything there, can you imagine how excited he would be about smartphones and the fact that he can carry hundreds of books around with him so easily?

and once I put Lizel into the world of whatever media we're working with, Gil isn't that hard to bring over either. He's an adventurer who gets hired to hunt monsters and find treasures and stuff, so again, very easy to fit into different things. by default, I would probably still have the two of them working together after Lizel initially hired Gil as a bodyguard, but I would also be up for plots where they haven't met yet 👀
