Hiatus Notice

i’ll be putting this blog, as well as my others, on a semi-hiatus of sorts. 

i’ll still answer asks and the occasional thread when i can summon motivation for it, but the fact is, i can’t handle the strain of maintaining all these blogs at once. i’ve bitten off more than i can chew — as sad as that is to admit. 

(yes, i know i have a problem.)

i’ll be taking new directions with my writing on a newer blog of mine, and i’ll be back once i can sort out where i’m going to go with my blogs. hopefully, it won’t be too long? i’ll definitely try to be back before summer at most.

you can get ahold of me at these places:

until then, <see you again!>

"A Sorcerer."

He just says it outright without a second thought. Here, there was no need for secrecy. If he tried anything he’d get staked seven times and then some. There was no limits here. Magic was accepted here, his magic at least.

"I’m quite new into the magical world, so forgive my ignorance. I don’t know what a yokai is. I’m just going to guess it’s a magical entity I should be worried about in the future."

[yuujin----chou]

   -- That... somewhat made sense, all things considering. The boy simply nodded and left it at that.

 ...Battler really was fortunate, huh? To not know about yōkai, much less have to see them every day... He was fortunate; of course, Natsume didn't doubt that the Sorcerer had to deal with worse things than that, but to each his own dilemma, right?

Not all yōkai were bad -- the bad ones just seemed to be the topic of discussion.

"They're traditional Japanese monsters. You've heard of kitsune, right? Or oni?"

"There are other types, too, like kappa and bakeneko. They won't come after you unless you've got something they want, so you don't have to worry."

[seinen-slut]

[yuujin----chou]

   -- If Natsume was an immodest, immoral person - which he had never been, not in his entire sixteen years of life - one would conclude he'd just take the bill laying on the floor, even despite seeing whom it drifted from. Most would, right?

 Unfortunately, none of Nyanko-sensei's lectures had sunken in at all; the action made to return the currency was swift. Before the other had a chance to walk away, Natsume reached out and gently tapped their shoulder, yen between the fingers of his outstretched hand.

  "Excuse me?"

"...You dropped something."

[yuujin----chou]

   -- They're at it again.

One wrong move, one misstep or wrong turn, and he'll be cornered; the yōkai he's been trying so hard to avoid are now barreling towards him, ambitions bared, bent on blood and glory in their conquest for his grandmother's book. He's been lost in this forest for what seems like hours - days, maybe - with no shrine in sight, let alone any sign of civilization. 

When the trees finally break into road, for a brief moment, Natsume believes that some sort of god has blessed him. 

As soon as he leaps out into the road, he has to swerve on a heel to keep from hitting someone - a girl? At least he's reasonably sure of that, which keeps him from lashing out at her in self-defense. 

...Of course, this sends him sprawling out onto the pavement.  Good job, Natsume. You're sweaty, gasping for air, and about as red as a tomato.        Great first impression.

 He's just gonna catch his breath for a minute.

       ✘ — No-good Tsuna was at it again. He somehow managed to spill his miso soup all over this poor, unsuspecting individual who probably didn’t deserved this sort of treatment. But what had been done can not be undone, and now Tsuna must bare the weight of responsibility.

       ”I’m so sorry!” He panicked, his voice hitting a pitch so high he didn’t even know he could reach. Of all the-… eighteen years old and he’s still as clumsy as the day he was born! At least, Reborn wasn’t here to scowl him… or worse, mock him.

[yuujin----chou]

   -- Wasn't this pleasant?

Said poor, unsuspecting individual was now locked rigidly in place, expression a mire of shock at what was, undoubtedly, the sudden sensation of warm soup leaking through his shirt. 

  When he finally realized what had happened, the other boy was already eeking out an apology - who knew a male voice could hit that high of a pitch? - and the younger of the two leapt to assuage the other's worries.

 "N, No--! It's fine!"

"Ah, I mean -- It's okay, it was an accident. I understand."

 A brief grimace crossed Natsume's face as he glanced down at his shirt, and remained long enough to notably be replaced by a sheepish grin.

   "Sorry about your soup."

[yuujin----chou]

   -- "I'll be going now!"

It's a bit unsettling, calling out into the house with no answer, but at least Natsume has the safety of mind that only Shigeru-san is there to not-answer him; the older man has fallen somewhat ill, and Touko-san has run out to fetch medicine. Nyanko-sensei is sitting vigil at his bedside until she returns. 

As per Nyanko-sensei's request, Natsume's going out to fetch yeast buns from Nanatsujiya... Good work deserves reward, after all. It's best for Shigeru to have a protector during this time of weakness.

idk i've? ? really stopped wanting to rp at all lately,,

whenever i do spend time on replies and starters, nobody ever replies to them and it makes me feel kinda    insufficient?? or like i've done something wrong 

and it happens a good majority of the time, with my friends being the only people who actually stick around to try rping with me

but it's stupid. i don't want to end up bothering people more than i already do. if i'm not good at it, i can just go away and leave them with one less problem to worry about.

i just created this blog, too... shame it'll probably go to waste.

[yuujin----chou]

ooc-- while i'm at it, would anyone like a starter?? ?

[yuujin----chou]

--; It seems Nyanko-sensei has taken up stubbornly ignoring Natsume - not for any good reasons, of course. 

Nyanko-sensei should be grateful; it was Natsume's consideration for Sensei's liver that led him to throwing out the sake bottle. He could have just let the roly-poly cat drink himself into an inebriated coma. 

[aureaveneficus-deactivated20140]

"This is my territory. It’s known as the Golden Land. As for you got here, I’m not certain. There are many ways of getting lost in these worlds." 

He really wasn’t sure. Unless a state of emergency was called, the Golden Land was always open to visitors. Though state of emergency would probably mean a powerful force was up and about that was bad news. So long as he had been here, the worst thing he’s had to deal with was Maxwell.

"While you’re here, why don’t you relax a little? I can always send you home whenever you feel like it."

[yuujin----chou]

--; With Battler's permission, Natsume collapsed in the seat, clearly relieved that he wasn't in any kind of mortal danger. 

It was kinda sad that he'd come to expect it, huh...? So many godawful things were after the Book of Friends, having his very life threatened had become a part of his life that he'd grown used to. It was because of that that his appreciation for Battler's apparent obliviousness grew.

 "Yeah... Thanks. I'm feeling a little lightheaded."

 "Sir -- er, Lord -- Battler, may I ask something? If you're not a yōkai, then... What are you, exactly...?"

Definitely not human. Something close, but humans couldn't possibly carry such a strong spiritual power and still be in their right minds; possession was the only means of anyone normal obtaining such an unusual air about them.

[yuujin----chou]

ooc-- i'm pretty sure i owe goldenendlesssorcerer, but do i owe anyone else??

[yuujin----chou]

--; It's just a dream. It's just a dream.

Yet somehow, despite his self-assurances, he can't seem to fall back asleep. He's far too shaken to convince himself to.

[yuujin----chou]

ooc-- i think natsume's grandfather was pro bably a yōkai?? i know that sounds super lame and cliche bu t

i cant really see reiko doing the frickle frackle with a human, especially seeing as how she stuck to one place and was virtually the laughingstock of the human population in town;;

plus natsume's got super strong, unexplainable powers?? usually by the second generation, whatever supernatural ability there is present in the predecessor has faded, but it's not the case with natsume, who has the same slitted irises and abilities as some of the yōkai he's met -- why?

yōkai blood.

idk i'm just?? nobody else in the series, save for a few yōkai he's met, has his pupils. what the fuck natsume
