“little Gifts” ; Messiah & Titus

“little gifts” ; messiah & titus

continued from [ x ] ; @carnifcx

       Sometimes Messiah wondered if he had a self-destruct button that just… flipped itself, when he interacted with Titus. He’d honestly approached the other to simply offer him a gift on a holiday, and yet? He couldn’t resist the jab he’d decided to take at him. And yet, it hadn’t been his intention. It’d just slipped out. And before he could apologize – the other spoke.

      “So, you’re trying to tell me you earnestly never steal anything just because you want to?” There was doubt thickly laced in his tone. He wasn’t the type of person to just take others at their word. And with this man in specific? ( He could be almost INHUMANLY distrusting. ) A problem he recognized. And one he was attempting to work on . . . especially given who they both worked for. And yet, here he was. Botching another attempt. ‘Genius I may be, and yet? Here I am.’ He cursed himself quietly, allowing the other to take his present, and crossing his own arms in turn. “It seems unlikely.” And here he was just shoveling further mistakes on top of the prior one. Rather then backing down, accepting his mistake for a moment – swallowing his pride and apologizing? Nope.

      However, as the other shoves a bouquet against him, he blinks a few times. Confusion alight in his amethyst eyes, and he reaches for the offered gift. WAIT, WHAT? The other had gotten him something as well? Why??? It wasn’t as though the other had any reason to give him anything. ( It wasn’t as though he had a reason to give Titus anything ether, and yet? When he’d seen the box, he’d thought of him… not that he’d say that aloud. )

       And despite being flattered, when the other made his comment, his eyebrows knit together a little – and he reaches out a gloved hand to take the others gift. “… I suppose I’ll hold my tongue, then. As you’ve already answered my question.” Messiah somehow doubted that was the absolute truth. But, he’d leave it alone for now. PERHAPS that was just his suspicious side, anyways. “Thank you. You’ve got a good eye.”

      Oh look, he was able to say one nice thing.

      “… perhaps you’d like to join me? I was going to a reservation I made for dinner.” He’d at least ask – even if he thought the other would likely decline. Though, he couldn’t resist making one more quick jab: “Though, I suppose I’ll have to make a side-trip now, as well. To drop off these flowers. But I suppose you can come along for that as well, if you’d like.”

      He wouldn’t wait for an answer. In fact, he would turn on his heel and begin walking away from the THIEF. Why? Because he was starting to wonder what sort of hit he’d make if he just kept talking to the other. T r u l y, he was beginning to wonder if that’s just how he acted around TITUS. If he would, consistently, just attack the other for no reason at all. However: He hoped the other recognized the second part as being… somewhat kind? Messiah liked to keep people out of his private life. So? Up until now, he’d never offered to let anyone come to his house.

      Especially not the thief.

      They had a NEGATIVE history between the two of them – and it was a matter of T R U S T. Not that he thought he had anything there that the other would be particularly interested in. . .

// karma akabane - verses

image

{ END CLASS } –                      ( ver ) .student╰☆╮(❝Karma Akabane❞)

      After being thrown out of the main courses, out of the main campus, Karma has found a place where he can truly thrive. After all: His anger at his old teachers betrayal still fresh in his mind, the option of killing a teacher? Well, sign him up! What he wasn’t expecting was to actually become somewhat fond of the class - classmates, teachers, and all. Maybe school can be interesting after all! Well, assuming he remembers to put forth all the necessary effort. Watch out, A-Class! He’s going to give you a run for your money, regardless of where he sits on the totem pole!

{ Adult Karma } –                   ( ver ) .battlefield╰☆╮(❝Karma Akabane❞)

      Graduating was only the first step - Moving onto his new battlefield, Karma has decided to do one of the things he does best with his life. Fight. No, not physically - surprisingly. He’s decided to become something of a lawyer. Surprising, yes? He is good at it, however. Despite being something of a hellion, he is charming and persuasive. Also? His personality/charisma can do a lot of damage in this sort of battlefield.

{ Assassin Karma } –                    ( ver ) .rotten╰☆╮(❝Karma Akabane❞)

      This verse has two alternatives - One? Karma tried to live a normal life after his time in the Assassination Classroom. But? Despite every attempt to live a normal life, his old training kept calling him back. His violence, though it had been reigned in, kept showing through - eventually? The best way he decided he could honor his old teachers memories? Was to take what he was taught, and actually do something with it.

      Two? Karma’s natural violent tendencies eventually wound him up accidentally killing a man - accidentally, being the misleading word in that sentence. And? By chance, a professional assassin saw his actions. His clear cut, without a doubt, actions. With that, with his natural ability to make it appear like an accident, and with what appeared to be an entire lack of response to his own actions - they took him in and trained him.

{ Demon Karma } –                   ( ver ) .hellion╰☆╮(❝Karma Akabane❞)

      It’s not easy to be a demonic overlord.

      Sure, it comes with it’s perks - real estate in hell, and recently? He’d been able to crave his own place out on the surface as well. You know, something of a summer house. Castle. Thing. Regardless? Having come to the topside for the first time, he’s found himself fascinated with interrupting the day to day lives of the humans in the area. This? Could go… very poorly.

       Karma, though looking fairly humanoid, has a few odd features - His lopsided horns being one of the first, and most prominent features people notice. The others include blackened and sharp-tipped fingernails, slightly pointed ears, and metallic eyes.

explosivestorm:

NONETHELESS SHE SOUGHT DARKNESS BY HERSELF. Those days spent by Izanami’s side taught her a valuable lesson. However to speak of them with others, to reveals those secrets they shared together was something which she would refrain from doing. Whatever fragment of sympathy ( if there was anything left ) which the goddess had for her would not be broken apart. That trust would not be betrayed. If anything, whatever happened would remain between them. Feeling at ease as she kept on hearing Ana speaking, Yuna wondered for a brief moment about her own story. Regardless of her dispute with Yukimura, was Ana truly happy?

Explosivestorm:

❝ Not in the slightest. I am at peace with what happened back then. Whatever consequences, I will confront them. However.. ❞ Hesitation was present into her voice, her tone becoming slightly lower than normal. Yuna was not certain of how to bring that certain topic to Anastasia. Whatever happened, she should not get involved, but how could she just abandon somebody whom she deemed as friend? Perhaps it was an action based on her grudge towards Yukimura, but.. she often wondered whether she was happy there. ❝ Are you happy being there? You must be aware now of my…. dispute with that man. ❞ It had been more than a dispute. It reached the point where Yuna did not wish to cross paths with him again. Somebody as proud as herself would not lower herself to apologize for something which she was in the right.

Taking in a deep breathe, she chose to stop hesitating and confront Ana regardless of whether she would be wrong or not. ❝ I wonder whether you feel well there or not. I told him I believe he considers you all as pawns and I still believe that. I am aware that you and Hanzo are not on friendly terms, but when I confronted Yukimura about his death… ❞ That gaze, those words.. even recalling everything made Yuna’s blood boil. At that time she was hesitating a lot, those words she said being spilled out in a fit of anger. Now if she could repeat that scene, she would have done everything in a different way. ❝ Honestly, I prefer not to see his face ever again, so you will not see me again in Ueda. I will not apologize for something I said and believe in strongly. But this does not mean I do not care about you or have respect for you and the others as he claims. Haha, I still want to hit him. A real hit this time. ❞

      “As long as you are willing to face the consequences headfirst, you should be able to overcome them eventually.” Anastasia responds with a bit of a hum – nodding a little, approvingly. The truth was, that was part of her problem when she had originally returned. It had been done so as … final act. She had returned to UEDA with the understanding that she would die.

      Almost the H O P E for death.

      However, when she’d been granted an extension to her life, when she’d been accepted amongst them again as the terms for her “f o r g i v e n e s s” . . . she’d felt TRAPPED. Sometimes, that man’s kindness was horribly crippling. It was K I N D, but it was manipulative. He’d known from the moment he spoke that his kindness was a binding c o n t r a c t. If Anastasia had had any other goals, dreams, or aspirations, they would have died on the spot. However, her dreams had died before that day, regardless. “… I’m aware of your conflict with our Lord, yes.” Anastasia responds, somewhat… carefully. “I wasn’t informed of it by the Lord himself, Sanada-sama has mostly kept the situation to himself, with the exception of his page – Rokurou-san. I simply happened to overhear about it when they were talking.” Honestly? She wasn’t sure what to make of the situation herself, since she hadn’t been there. And as she wasn’t properly informed? She was slow to make a judgement call on the situation… However? As the other asks about her own situation, Anastasia offers a soft smile. “I’m fine, Yuna-san. Sanada-sama has been more then lenient with me, and. . . even if I wasn’t exactly thrilled by his decision to employ me again at first? I’m… grateful that he did. It gave me a chance to redeem myself. It’s… given me the chance to make things right with people. And... I didn’t know how much I needed that.”

      Though she had resented H I M for it at first, Anastasia knew that without his kindness she would have never been able to make things right with Isanami. She would have never been able to apologize to Sasuke. Or work towards redemption in Saizou’s eyes. Or even get to speak to ROKUROU about what she’d done to his e y e. . . They were dear friends of hers, and if she’d left things as they were? She would have DIED a traitor.

Explosivestorm:

      However, as the other continues to talk, Anastasia falls silent again. The RUSSIAN Kunoichi interested to hear what her friends was speaking. It was… interesting to hear that. From an outsiders perspective, perhaps it did look that way, but? After the other finishes speaking, she offers a slight nod – “… I can see where you might think that. I believed the same at first.” It was the honest truth. She’d HATED Yukimura years ago, judged him immediately due to his being a feudal LORD whose title had been granted to him from W A R. And the fact was – LORD tended to treat their underlings like pawns and playthings. She knew that VERY personally. And yet? “It’s impossible for me to dispute that it might seem that way, however? I can say this with absolute certainty: Yukimura is the best possible lord for me and those who are in his employ. He’s… unique. Weird. But he absolutely see’s us all as people, or? We wouldn’t still be there.” Saizou in specific was who she was thinking of. The young man who had had such skills – but had abandoned the idea of ever getting a lord. Yukimura was the one who had given him any faith in serving others again.

      “I do not fault you for following your ideals. You should do what you think is best.” Anastasia believed that. If Yuna thought it was best to not return, then perhaps it was best. “I don’t claim to understand that man – so I can’t say what’s running through his head. I can’t imagine what it was that he said to you about Hanzo’s disappearance.” In fact, she couldn’t be sympathetic when it came to that at all. When it came to Hanzo, she STILL hated him. He’d deceived her and used her as a weapon against the others. So? Despite being willing to work with him, because she was professional, she did hate him. “And you should hit him again. Honestly, most of us spend our time exhausted with his antics… and most of us would like to hit him to. But? I would like to put forth that you should reframe from doing any real damage to him. We’re the only ones who are supposed to beat our lord up.” She offers with a smile and a soft laugh – ( Rokurou half burst the lords eardrums every other day with that technique of his… so… ) “We’re also paid to keep him from any real damage – so? You’d be denying us our pay if you got a real hit in.”

// messiah reed - verses

image

{ Master Detective } –                   ( ver ) .genius╰☆╮(❝Messiah Reed❞)

      [ Well renown for his skills as a sleuth, it no longer surprises him when he’s called in for particularly difficult cases. After all: This is the life he chose for himself. He is the one who picked the name “Messiah Reed” for himself - and he’s the one who decided to make a real use out of his skills as a detective.

      For him to be headlining in newspapers and such? Is no oddity. It is just a show of his skills. So far? There has been no case that has left him stumped - though? There is one particular thief who is especially difficult to catch… ]

{ Prince Candidate } –                   ( ver ) .chosen╰☆╮(❝Messiah Reed❞)

       It was all part of the plan.

      Him being chosen as one of the Seven, one of the Candidate’s for becoming the new emperor? It was no surprise to him. He was a good choice - a genius, a hard worker, a man who never settled but always pushed himself to be the best of what he did. It didn’t shock him, what shocked him? Was some of the others chosen.

      This is the verse that’ll be used for any threads actually taking place in the Labyrinth.

{ Guardian } –                    ( ver ) .belonging╰☆╮(❝Messiah Reed❞)

       Having decided to officially support Ewan as the new emperor, Messiah, along with the others, work at his side - doing what they can to support him in his endeavors. Even though it appears their choice will not be easy. For themselves, or for their young emperor, they stand by their decision.

      He was the best possible candidate to bring them all together. And? He has no regrets.

// nea d. campbell - verses

image

{ Canon Timeline } -                    ( ver ) .haunted╰☆╮(❝Nea D. Campbell❞)

      Anything that happens within the time period of the series itself - such as whenever Nea is possessing Allen’s body. This will pretty much cover the interactions with him, while he’s pretending to be Allen... Or when he’s just going wild, trying to complete his own goals.

{ Pre-Timeline } -                   ( ver ) .vagabond╰☆╮(❝Nea D. Campbell❞)

      Nea was killed and had his soul transferred into a “New” body. This is Nea as he was, running away from trouble while trying to demand his freedom from fate. He absolutely abhors the other Noah’s - at least, aside from his brother. He doesn’t consider himself one of them, despite the annoying nicknamed of the “FOURTEENTH.” 

      This would be while he was still on the run with Mana - and when he would get to know Cross and the “PAST” Allen.

{ Exorcist’s Noah } -                   ( ver ) .chained╰☆╮(❝Nea D. Campbell❞)

      Though it likely hadn’t been malicious in intent, when things started going wrong, he’d decided to try to go to Cross for help. Unfortunately, despite not considering himself a Noah, and despite knowing Cross, this didn’t end well - in fact, he was kept there so that Exorcists could get a better understanding of Noah’s bodies, and how to fight them. Even now he’s bitter about it, more or less a prisoner there - but? He’s managed to keep his “ark” a secret so far...

      ( still under construction )

// isaac foster - verses

{ Killer } -                   ( ver ) .angel of death╰☆╮(❝Isaac Foster❞)

      The canon verse for Zach. He’s a killer on the bottom layer of the “hospital” - in charge of the lowest floor. He’s not very smart, but he is passionate and powerful. He can neither read nor write, and his unchecked strength... occasionally gets him into trouble. But, he is honest: and he hates lies with everything he is. . . and so? He’ll never lie himself.

{ Assassin } -                  ( ver ) .cold blooded╰☆╮(❝Isaac Foster❞)

// garry - verses

image

{ Gallery Happenings } -                   ( ver ) .nightmare╰☆╮(❝Garry❞)

      ( This would be the canon timeline! ) Basically everything that happened while Garry and Ib where trapped inside of the artwork trying to find their way out - their lives are dependent on the number of rose petals they have, and Garry? Well, he sees things a little differently around here then Ib does.

      Some of it comes down to rational paranoia in situations like this... other parts are just him being a little bit cowardly. But? Trying hard on behalf of helping young Ib. He wants to be someone she can rely on...

{ Post-Game } -                  ( ver ) .dreamer╰☆╮(❝Garry❞)

      Having survived their crazy adventure and returned to the real world - somehow Ib was able to trigger his memories to return. At first it’d been a bit hazy, but Ib was able to pull him out of it. Nowadays he tries to keep in contact with her even still. Though, he often worries about the impression he’s making... he doesn’t just want to lose the friend he’d made through their shared chaos.

{ False Garry } -                  ( ver ) .recreation╰☆╮(❝Garry❞)

      A piece of “ARTWORK” from within the world - this “Garry” works to take the others place when given the chance to. This can ether be inside the gallery, or having been able to trick Ib into leaving with it, instead of the real one. He is different then the real Garry - having little to no fear, because it’s not really alive. So? It doesn’t respond to things the same - though it does try to from time to time, these responses seem “scripted” and unrealistic.

// tyki mikk - verses

image

{ Canon Tag }  -                    ( ver ) .joyd/pleasure╰☆╮(❝Tyki Mikk❞)

      This is general tag for anything that happens in the main series - so? The “Ark” Arc, and such. Generally speaking, this will just be the normal tag unless specified otherwise!

{ Runaway Noah } -                   ( ver ) .cards fold╰☆╮(❝Tyki Mikk❞)

      Tyki has always had an adventurous soul. So? When it came down to it, and things became too much for him - this would be the verse where he attempted to disappear. Frankly speaking, this is if he just sorta... ran away from his responsibilities. With the rest of the Noah hinting more and more that Tyki should just give in and let “Joyd” win... he didn’t want to give up himself. However? Not wanting to fight his “family,” he’s just trying to disappear. He won’t fight them. He’s not their enemy. He just doesn’t want to lose himself.

{ Before Awakening } -                   ( ver ) .shuffle╰☆╮(❝Tyki Mikk❞)

      “Tyki Mikk” the man, before becoming a Noah. Before he had his “awakening” in his blood - so? In general, this is just an average man trying to make a living in the coal minds.

       Before his painfully rude awakening with the stigmata.

@patixntia continued from [x]

      When the other made her comment, he just stares for a second – it was a strangely comforting thing for her to say. It was N I C E to know that his partner wasn’t the type to just abandon him, and yet? Her words had him a little… embarrassed.

      “… I was trying to make a joke?” He offers out, somewhat meekly as he looks at her through his bangs.

@patixntia Continued From [x]

      He wasn’t good at those. Being as asocial as he was, he tended to just… hide. Observe. It was easier that way. Especially given his quirky habits and hobbies. “I should… work on my joking tone, hmm?” He continues, though… he really was flattered. It was nice to know that he had such a protective and kind friend. He wasn’t sure where he had gone R I G H T in life to meet someone like her, but? Regardless, Hijirihara felt very lucky…

// yusuke urameshi - verses

image

{ Spirit Detective } -              ( ver ) .phantom sleuth╰☆╮(❝Yusuke Urameshi❞)

      Having died unexpectedly, he has suddenly found himself the new “spirit detective” - a job that has been rather ungraciously shoved upon him. All in all, he’s actually surprisingly good at it. Despite his tendencies to act before thinking and throwing himself headfirst into dangerous situations that may or may not cost him his soul...

{ Demon } -            ( ver ) .demonic ancestor╰☆╮(❝Yusuke Urameshi❞)

      In a twist of fate, it appears his second resurrection has awakened his ancestor’s blood in his veins - an ancient bloodline that he wasn’t even remotely aware he’d had. After all: It was so remote that it was less then one percent demon blood in him... and yet, now he’s got it pulsing through his veins the same as everything else. Strange. But, he’s just sorta rolling with it now.

{ Retired } -             ( ver ) .local buisness╰☆╮(❝Yusuke Urameshi❞)

       Yusuke has finally decided that outside of just fighting, he’s going to pick up a normal job - in fact? He eventually picked up his own noodle stand, and has been running it as a fairly successful business. And? Once he’d been doing well enough? He finally decides to buy a rather small shop. It’s not much, but it’s good enough for the former spirit detective - not to say he’s against the occasional job now and again, but he only takes the ones he wants to nowadays.
