Whisper something in my muse's ear and see how they react! ||Accepting|| @dyingresolve

"Wha--?" Haru groggily lifts her head. What was that? Something about the cake being an illusion?

...

"Did that damned brat pull another prank?" He gave her the gift of illusionary cakes for her birthday before, didn't he? Even half asleep she'll remember his transgressions! "I should smack him again."

@dyingresolve ( GIOTTO&G ) continued from here.

At G,'s words, the Primo let out a small gasp, hand moving to his chest in feigned disbelief. "That's really hurtful, you know," he pointed out with a small shake of his head, even going as far as to bring the bakc fof his wrist to his brow. "What kind of Boss would I be if my own right-hand has no faith in me?" His dramatics was quickly cut short, however, by a warm laugh. Even his shoulders shook with the jovial sound before returning to his lap once more.

Grimacing to himself at the reminder, Giotto heaved out a heavy sigh. "I suppose you won't let me live that one down, huh?" His expression shifted to something more neutral now, picking up his food again as he started to eat. Now that G. had brought it to him, only then did he realize how hungry he really was.

"Don't worry: I have no intentions of repeating that fiasco. Believe it or not, I don't enjoy being scolded by you, you know." What does that make him look like? A boss being scolded by his own men. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Not that Giotto ever cared about those kinds of things.

"Kyouya.", the blond greets with his trademark smile as he spies the younger resting in solitude, away from the crowd. "I have brought you something!", he announces as he raises the neatly packaged gift. An assortment of Italian small tarts -- pastries filled with cream, fruits and jelly. As Dino is well aware that his student is not too fond of chocolate and sweets in general, he decided to go for something less sweet. Besides, these pastries were all famous Italian desserts - a fitting gift, he thinks.

"It has been a while since we've known each other, right?" A pause. "So, I figured I'd show my appreciation." Though it often seems like he's the one being kept at arms length by the ever drifting Cloud, Dino believes that they have grown quite close to each other - he has been sparring and training with the younger for quite a while after all!

"Come on, open it!", he urges, eager to see if his student enjoys the gift ( though he doesn't expect much, knowing him so well by now). He had taken extra care that none of it would be spoiled or in any other way damaged on his way to Japan ( it is truly a hassle to bring such delicacy halfway around the world ).

@dyingresolvesolve has sent Hibari a gift for Vday [x]. Thanks for sending something! Hope you like the lil response thing, stay tuned for next month! ||No longer accepting gifts||

Hibari didn’t bother hiding his grimace upon having his rest disturbed by his mentor. One would think that over the years he’d have known better than to interrupt Hibari’s rest, but Dino wasn’t one to think things all the way through, it would seem.

It hadn’t been long since the two had seen each other last, and it was much too soon to ‘reconnect’.

The Cloudian sits up with clear irritation shown on his face, skeptically glancing at the gift Dino had presented him with. “You show gratitude by interrupting my rest. The sincerity is duly felt.” The sarcasm is practically dripping into a puddle from his tone.

Quite cranky from having his rest interrupted, he’d no patience to spare the feelings of his Mentor, who, was more than likely to let Hibari’s attitude roll off his back with a casual smile as always.

If not for the fact Dino had come bearing a gift, Hibari would have swiftly dolled punishment in the form of biting Dino to death. His own curiosity outweighs the anger, but only by an iota. He accepted the parcel and opened it to see the assortment of desserts packaged inside.

He could only assume these were a local delicacy that Dino had painstakingly transported all the way from Italy. He’d suppose that the level of energy exerted warranted forgiveness for interrupting his rest (but the transgression is still tucked away in the recesses of his mind for next time).

“Hm, I see no chocolate.” He’s gone against tradition. Though not overly fond of sweets, he was fine with semi-sweet things like dark chocolate.

As the Bucking Horse has come bearing edible gifts, it was only proper to invite him for a cup of tea at least, as per proper societal norms. “Very well, stay for tea.” He moves to get his tea set so he can brew tea himself.

“Afterwards, prepare to be bitten to death.”

@ubiquitarian

❤️ — what are some of your best qualities?

i have been told by… a lot of people… that i'm a good listener.

friendliness. i highly enjoy being around people, even though i know i'm not going to be close with the vast majority of them. i'm just a social person by nature.

wisdom. i don't sound like it because i never have the chance to be? i also deliberately type like i normally do to make people feel comfy around me, so that doesn't help either lol. still, i enjoy being The Grandpa when i end up in communities with much younger people for this reason.

creativity. to the point where i literally can't enjoy media without taking inspiration and going right to my own projects and ocs/stories. it's a hassle struggling to absorb canon when i constantly have to muffle what i want to do to make sure i can pay attention RIP.

🧶 — any non-writing hobbies/interests?

lol there's a lot.

when it comes to free time… i primarily love mmorpgs, but i just don't stick to them with how much there is to do - never feels like i'm going to get anywhere and it's just overwhelming. i did do ffxiv, guild wars 2, blade and soul, aura kingdom/twin saga and had been pretty far in with all of them, but they just ultimately didn't scratch the itches i needed.

however atm, PSO2 NGS (phantasy star online 2, new genesis) is kind of my dream mmo? it's a new game, f2p is 100% viable, combat is really fun and feels really natural on ps4, i have a cute and outrageously beefy/OP level 19 character and solo everything, nothing is super hard to understand, perfect game for casuals like me who just play 1-2 hours in the morning and slowly chip away at the story/game. it's just basically everything i want in an mmorpg so i'm always just happy playing it.

shout-out to pokemon sword, rune factory 4, digimon story cybersleuth. old fav games are okami, pokemon emerald/oras and ultra moon, star ocean 3, .hack//GU, dark cloud 1+2. there's some i forgot by now but still.

then there's also making ocs and art. i am so so bad at fanart (hence why i stopped) but i did really well with drawing ocs back when i was still comfortable drawing. (designing weird monsters was a huge fav and i'd probably still be able to do it but don't have the desire/opportunity anymore so! and anthros/furries were super fun to draw! help! i drew too much!)

i'm also neglecting learning music production and japanese but they have been on my peripheral for 10+ years so someday i will actually do them. (neither will be very difficult for experience reasons but what is self-starting lol.)

i've never been too big on reading anime and manga so i tended to float toward jp games instead. but… i still have a hard time getting into something new so. lol.

fashion too. love making outfits. i used to be big into lolita fashion, visual kei, pastel goth. i still have so much punk stuff too lmao. pinterest is a hellhole to try and stop browsing if you like fashion/clothes in general.

😗 — what are some of your favorite things to do when you have some time to yourself?

generally, all the hobbies require effort that i don't necessarily have the energy or attention span to give, so it usually just ends up with talking to people, scrolling tumblr or twitter or reddit etc, listening to j-music.

this one doesn't have much to say, lol.

@queenharumiura

[ for 😗, see above! ]

🗒 — what is/are your favorite genre(s)/theme(s) to write?

fluff, hurt/comfort, weird plots that go really wild and meta, very short-term depressing/tragic thoughts, ships. i do like writing nsfw too, but definitely not here.

-

🤔 — what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most?

honestly? everything longterm. i tend to forget where plots are going, which is why i'm not great with RP plots or keeping track of hc characterization. i just don't have enough attention span to take notes or reread every rp ever BUT-- when i have an active/dedicated partner, i can keep rolling with something for a long AF time. (thank you in specific, neochan!)

serious answer is long sad/angsty plots. i just don't do that well with them unless i get in the mood, but i don't really want to be sad, so it's just not usually my thing if it's not just a thread or two.

For the most part, Haru was usually paired off with an intelligence officer on reconnaissance missions to collect intel to take back to the Varia. She could go on the offensive, if need be, or ensure that the intelligence officer if no one else could safely get out of danger. It would be disastrous if the intelligence officers were to land in enemy hands. There was the addendum of, ‘if they do anything fishy, get rid of them.’

Sometimes, that was the risk you had to take with intelligence officers, that they may jump ship, or that they may be spies in for the long haul. Well, she’s never run across that issue- and she hadn’t heard of it ever being one, but she could understand the need to be wary. Every now and again, she’d be assigned on other missions, possibly as a way to test if she remained sharp. Just a personal theory of hers, really.

Really, it boiled down to: she was used to protecting others. She already had the tendency to be worried about losing someone else in her life, so it was no surprise when the flame type she had the highest affinity with was the lightning. One could say Haru was sensitive to the concept of 'goodbyes' and she'd be particularly sensitive if she had to bid farewell to someone she'd gotten close to. Heck, she almost took offense to Fran getting hurt in her stead, considering she’d already lost 3 people in her life because their concern for her. Fran being injured because he covered for her triggered a nasty sort of temper in her, but it was hard to retain all that anger when a young man is dramatically whining about pain.

Pinching her nose bridge, she heaves a heavy sigh, fighting the urge to pinch his cheeks and stretch. Right, she can get mad at him again after they returned to base. “Why are you thanking me when you’re the one who’s hurt?” She said nothing about dialing back the sass, just the anger. “Come on, put pressure on your wound to help staunch the bleeding for now.” In times like these, she truly wonders why she didn’t try to work harder to gain an affinity with the Sun flames. It sure would’ve come in handy at a time like this. “Thanks for covering me, but don’t do it again. The Varia can’t lose you.”

Haru stared at this crazy guy, disbelieving what she heard.

This UMA nerd... it's too late for him. It's gone too far. 'Surely this isn't his attempt at practicing pick up lines? This is so painful, it hurts Haru.' This could only work on an equally as downbad UMA-nerd.

THIS POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL! He couldn't be serious? Does he really think that would work? Haru sheds a real tear for his lost dignity. No no, pull yourself together, Haru. At least humor him.

All your life, huh?

"Damn, either you're actually a child or you're telling me that your life didn't start until you met me." PFTT- yes, she's already getting ready to mad dash it out of the room.

"So honored, Ouji-sama. It was fun knowing you too for all these years." There she goes, she's running. Who told him to say something weirdly ALMOST sappy, huh? That's his fault! She had to respond with sarcastic banter!
