Vine

The sharpest scars are the ones you don`t see- carved by ghosts you never invited

[xghostwriter]

AUT VIAM INVENIAM AUT FACIAM. A STUDY IN: Writing, because it's the only thing to give his chaos space. He seeks adrenaline and danger to feel alive. He is raw, treats his Shelby like a beast made of glass, and shares his life with a Ghost he never wanted. His moral filter is grey, and he's not someone you go to for a good time - unless he's loyal to you.

⦃ 𝙸𝚗𝚋𝚘𝚡 ⦄ Regrets? ↬sent by @kalteshaendchen & @unniemanyeo

Vor ein paar Jahren, als er selbst noch kaum Berührungspunkte mit Ghosts hatte, traf er auf einen Ghostträger mit grünen Augen. Jiro. Er zeichnete für Vine ein paar Illustrationen und obwohl er keine Gelegenheit ausließ um Jiro loszuwerden, hatte Jiro einen noch härteren Dickkopf als er, und deshalb blieb er. Sie waren grundverschieden. Und mit Sicherheit hätte Vine das ganze aus diesem Grund irgendwann gegen den nächsten Baum gefahren, aber die Gelegenheit wurde ihm nicht gegeben.

Ihre Beziehung hielt ein Jahr. Dann stand Jiro eines Abends vor seiner Tür, panisch und durchnässt vom Regen. Natürlich, es regnete an solchen gottverdammten Tagen immer. Und in dieser Nacht lernte er die wahre Seite des Ghost-Hypes kennen, über die niemand sprach. Die, in der Ghosts und ihre Träger bis zum Zusammenbruch gejagt wurden, weil sie nichts weiter als Ware waren. Er hatte versucht ihm bei der Flucht zu helfen und ihn zu beschützen, am Ende war es Jiro, der ihn rettete. - Indem er Vine seinen Ghost übertrug.

Hätte Jiro das damals nicht getan, hätte er überlebt. Und das bereut Vine bis heute.

-Durch diesen Ghosttransfer erhielt Vine auch schließlich seine grünen Augen.

⦃ 𝙸𝚗𝚋𝚘𝚡 ⦄ Negative character traits? ↬sent by @immcrtalsin

Oh, die Antwort könnte ein kleines Buch füllen. Kurz gehalten:

Er ist ein verdammter Sturkopf. Oft zu verschlossen und hat allgemein keine Lust viel über sich zu erzählen. Meistens nervt ihn belangloser Smalltalk so sehr, dass er anfängt sein Gegenüber zu provozieren und sogar einen Streit vom Zaun brechen würde, um dem zu entgehen. Außerdem ist er oftmals zu direkt und sagt, was er denkt. Passend dazu kommt seine Risikobereitschaft. Wenn er sich etwas in den Kopf gesetzt hat, zieht er es durch. No matter the cost.

Die Größte ist hier wohl: Er ist sich dem Ganzen bewusst. Und macht es halt trotzdem.

[xghostwriter]

⦃ 𝙸𝚗𝚋𝚘𝚡 ⦄ How do they feel when they’re completely alone? ↬sent by @nxtorious & @rage-in-motion

Ganz knapp? Gut.

Er ist gerne alleine. Das gibt ihm Ruhe seine Gedanken zu sortieren und zu schreiben. Das kann er Tage, manchmal sogar Wochen durchziehen - shoutout an Lieferdienste. Auch wenn er sich mittlerweile ziemlich oft in Alec's Bar aufhält, um Zeit mit ein paar Leuten zu verbringen.

In seiner Jugendzeit fand er es allerdings spannend sich ins Getümmel zu stürzen. Er hatte sich durch Straßenrennen einen Namen gemacht. Und hat es ziemlich genossen.

[xghostwriter]

⦃ 𝙸𝚗𝚋𝚘𝚡 ⦄ Are they a good liar? ↬sent by @lovesbeat

Ja, leider. Er lebt unter einem anderen Namen und die Wahrheit über ihn kennt nicht mal eine Handvoll Leute.

Wenn man von dieser notwendigen Lüge mal absieht, ist er in allen anderen Dingen eigentlich ziemlich ehrlich. Und direkt. Also vielleicht sollte er sich auch angewöhnen, hin und wieder ein guter Lügner zu sein.

[xghostwriter]

⦃ 𝙸𝚗𝚋𝚘𝚡 ⦄ 🍩 DONUT - favourite sweet treat? ↬sent by @nxtorious

Besonders viel macht er sich aus Süßigkeiten nicht, aber er isst sie. Und hin und wieder, besonders wenn er einen langen Tag hatte, holt er sich eine Tüte Gummibärchen als Nervennahrung.

Und irgendwann liegt dann die Tüte rum, mit den gelben Gummitierchen als Rest, weil er die nicht mag.

[xghostwriter]

This really isn’t my thing, so I’ll keep it short.

A happy new year to everyone I’ve crossed paths with here over the last half year. Especially to those who have an absurd amount of patience with my moody inspiration – yes, I know, I’m terrible at replying.

Ah, and to the people with their damn interesting stories that I mostly follow quietly. Thanks for that.

and the two special people...

@unniemanyeo I guess I’ve gotten used to you. So go ahead and complain about it, but you’ll still be Bambi next year.

@nxtorious No idea. Guess that’s how it’s supposed to be. So make sure you survive me. Happy new year, holzkopf.
