shsl dumb luck

a square away from me stands our white king my very presence hazardous when near perhaps you’d find your victory in a ring but no, no punches thrown can save you here

counting down protections from a checkmate: block or flee or strike—i wouldn’t mind it though cornered there’s no distance for debate and no escape if you wanted to find it

and you, who always were too good for this don’t strike, don’t raise your hand, don’t close your eyes your duty is to fall—you’re not remiss but buy our survival with your demise

i love you, i still love you 

i think i’ll always love you

all monsters are human, right? it’s just how much it shows.

THIS IS LITERALLY THE RADDEST PHOTO I’VE EVER SEEN

LIKE SHIT

"Ah, nothing really spectacular, I guess. …Well, that’s not really true…this whole place is pretty frickin’ cool. Like, the aquarium walls?? Never seen anything like that before, ‘Cept in movies and shit. And the slot machines are pretty neat, too. Although I gotta wonder how much that’ll last if no one has money to spend on ‘em, y’know?"

He bit his lip to keep him from rambling on. Chokichi hadn’t really spoken to her since he received the hoodie. At the time, she seemed uneasy and upset. Which was totally understandable. The whole last trial had taken it’s roll on just about everyone, it seemed. Especially those who were close to the, um…basically it sucked.

 But that was enough dwelling on the past. Right now, they were in a new area, one that held a lotta potential to be pretty fun. Chokichi figured he might as well make new relations with the other students, as well. And this might be a prefect opportunity to start, yea?

Tanji looked down and away when she talked. Maybe the blinking lights of the casino were just infinitely more interesting. “The fountain keeps spitting out coins if you watch for a while. Just enough cashflow for us to enjoy this place. Although I’ve been hanging out around there far too often and taking it all, so it probably wasn’t easy to tell.” Hanging out in this case meaning laying back in the water at obscene times of night with all her clothes on, half-expecting Eren to grab her foot from below. It could have been her shield if it weren’t also a thorn in her side.

She wasn’t thinking of this now, either.

Looking back at her, Chokichi had to grin at that last bit. It wasn't that he had a vendetta or anything like that against the guy; he'd barely seen Minoru, really. It was just the thought of actually having this good luck thing happen. 

As of this moment, the only good luck he had was that he was still alive. Which wasn't saying much, since it was just delaying his inevitable death. Gotta keep positive, and all that. 

The aquarium had stymied her for a while, as well as certain nonconformist slot machines and certain glass walls that resisted all kinds of assault and battery, and after a while she’d been convinced that she was too stupid for this whole schtick after all, game over, time for Yuko or Minoru or some other gently smiling face to appear out of nowhere as the last sight she’d ever see.

However, at least one thing had improved her spirits. Despite being a shitty consolation prize.

Even though it wasn’t marked on the ID’s map, a certain section of wall near the unattainable suite yielded from an irritated kick, revealing a secret room—some kind of prize-redeeming station filled with Monocobra memorobilia, to add insult to toe injury. Even then, she was too broke to afford any of the items in there. Leaving in disgust after a few minutes, Tanji had the great luck of nearly walking into a certain other lucky person at the fountain. Because this day was already going so well.
