YI SANG bites on to one end with a pleased little smile. You can practically see the little flowers around him as he nibbles the pocky stick, bringing his face closer to yours little by little. If you end up kissing, it'll be short and sweet before he asks for another round.
FAUST only agrees to playing because she wants a kiss. She's hesitant with her bites, but her cheeks turn the slightest shade of pink the closer her lips get to yours before she finally gets the kiss she was waiting for. If you pull away before the kiss and lose, she'll sulk about it.
DON QUIXOTE enthusiastically takes big bites at first, both enjoying the taste of the pocky stick and sure that she'll win. She realizes a little too late that she's going to end up kissing you when she sees how close your face is to hers, which causes her to either hastily pull away with her face flushed red or close the remaining gap and kiss you.
RYOSHU doesn't show much interest but goes along with it because it's what you want. That said her lack of interest doesn't stop her from having fun with teasing you whatever opportunity she gets, such as taking big bites to close the distance between your lips as much as possible before swiftly forfeiting so you can't have your kiss.
MEURSAULT ends up kissing you so long as you don't pull away and lose the game, and unless you pout about losing and ask him to lose once for your sake he'll continue winning or earning kisses from you. He doesn't care much for how this game turns out, but he will prioritize your happiness no matter how small.
HONG LU bites onto his end with an innocent smile like he isn't planning anything. His nibbles are both slow and small to urge you into making a move, be it pulling away and losing or closing the distance between your lips and kissing him. Regardless of what you choose to do, it's a win for him.
HEATHCLIFF thinks it's stupid at first before becoming competetive about it. His bites are hesitant at first but it isn't long until he's impatiently nibbling closer to your end of the pocky stick. If you pull away, he'll gloat about it. If you kiss him, he'll ask for another round until you lose.
ISHMAEL gets flustered early on. She takes bites hesitantly, her embarassment growing the closer your faces get before she pulls away and she mutters about how stupid this is. She tells you to just let her know when you want a kiss next time before cupping your cheeks and pressing her lips against yours.
RODION is more interested in the pocky sticks than she is in kissing you. She happily takes big bites, barely giving you the opportunity to even considering pulling away when she kisses you; both as an additional treat and an attempt to distract you while she steals some pocky sticks for herself.
Since DANTE doesn't have a mouth and can't properly participate in the game, the two of you come up with an alternative of sorts: they'll hold up the pocky stick while you nibble it all the way. Whoever gets flustered first loses and more often than not it will be them.
SINCLAIR wants to kiss you, he really does. The only reason he agreed to play was because of how bad he wants to kiss you and this game was the perfect excuse for him to do so. Unfortunately, just when your lips are about to touch it dawns on him that he's about to kiss you, causing him to chicken out and pull away.
OUTIS is both reluctant and disinterested in playing at first. She thinks that if you want pocky and a kiss then you should just say so and she'll give you both, but eventually agrees to play. The first few rounds she still thinks the game is stupid, but after a couple of kisses she can maybe be convinced to play again.
GREGOR stammers when you first offer, unwilling and unsure of how this would even turn out but eventually accepts it for you. His bites are small and hesitant, and while there are a few rounds here and there where he ends up kissing you, he'll pull away and lose more often than not.

𓈀 pairing. limbus company!sinners x gn!reader
𓈀 cw && tw. ooc
⌈⌕⌋ . . . liked this so much i ended up reup it
yi sang .𖥔 ݁ ˖
out of all the things that could’ve happened, this definitely wasn’t on his list. yi sang might look calm and unreadable, but he’s actually caught off guard. and very much on edge.
observes everything in your house, scanning each detail until his eyes land on your bookshelf. it clearly interests him, but with his pocket-sized body. . . oh well. reaching it is another story.
but if you offer to read to him, you’ll earn his trust faster than expected. he won’t say thank you or show obvious emotion, but you’ll notice how attentively he listens.
eventually, he starts waiting in the same spot each day a few minutes early. never says a word, just expects it. you find it oddly endearing.
his favorite spot ends up being your window. whether it overlooks the ocean, a forest, or just a quiet patch of sky, he’ll sit there for hours, admiring. the city surely doesn’t have this kind of peace, therefore this feels like a luxury to him.
if he wants a sip of your tea or coffee, he’ll just stare at it until you get the hint. and when he does speak, his “thank you” is so exquisitely polite it almost feels ceremonial.
doesn’t mind being picked up or placed on the back of your hand, but he prefers sitting somewhere more comfortable. that said, every now and then, you’ll find him leaning against your hand, dozing off.
faust .𖥔 ݁ ˖
as soon as she finds herself in this such strange situation, faust immediately begins analyzing her surroundings. no panic, just mild inconvenience at her new reduced size.
she takes shelter in your desk drawer. it’s not that she dislikes your bed, but her sleep schedule is. let’s just say unconventional. thanks to her, your drawer is now suspiciously clean and organized, though scattered with notes full of formulas only she understands.
never asks for help, but clearly expects you to offer. if you lift her onto the windowsill for a better view, she’ll give a single approving nod. that’s the closest you’ll get to a thank-you, by the way.
she’s very particular about where she sits. your palm is tolerable for short periods, but she prefers the rim of a mug, the edge of your laptop, or the top of your shelf - anywhere she can observe and calculate without interruption.
when you pick her up, she doesn’t react. at all. but if you grab her by the coat and she falls. expect the same icy glare she gave dante. you’ve been warned.
she’s basically a mini version of your homeroom teacher. every time you work on a project, especially anything math-related - she’d wordlessly sits nearby, either observing or judging. ignore that, she’s actually pretty hopeful when it comes to giving advice. she may be smaller now, but her big ahh brain definitely isn’t.
don quixote .𖥔 ݁ ˖
no doubt the loudest, most dramatic, and most excited about this new “adventure to a realm of unknown trials.” she’s barely the size of a coffee mug, but that doesn’t mean your cat is safe from this overly passionate troublemaker.
that said, keep an eye on her or be ready to hear your wallet scream in agony. she breaks your stuff a lot, especially anything she declares “evil”.
follows you around like a tiny squire. if you’re working on something, she’ll perch nearby, offering loud encouragement and the occasional battle cry. you’ve never felt so heroic doing literature homework.
she absolutely loves being picked up and beams with joy if you pat her head. even when you’re not actively doing that, you’ll still find her trying to climb onto your arm, shoulder, or anything that gets her closer to you.
also really enjoys sitting on your head and shoulder. it makes her feel kind of post, like a noble knight surveying her kingdom from the highest tower.
she’s loud and stubborn, sure, but also fiercely loyal. will literally defend you from anything she deems threatening, including your alarm clock.
ryoshu .𖥔 ݁ ˖
her first words would probably be something like “i see this form is insufficient. i’ll c.i.w.f.a.” you don’t know what she meant and you are certain that you don’t want to.
she had hung out around your knife drawer more than once. you’ve had a hard time convincing her that those can actually hurt her, especially when she’s in such. . . size. still, make sure to keep an eye on her.
occasionally disappears for a few hours. sometimes you’ll find her on your shelf, sometimes in your pencil case, and sometimes in even more random places.
while the others seem to enjoy physical contact, ryoshu doesn’t. if you accidentally let her have a needle, she’ll immediately stab it into your hand without hesitation.
but if you ask nicely first, a pat or a gentle nuzzle of your fingers might be tolerable for her. maybe. depends on the weather, probably.
she keeps a collection of sharp things like pins, needles, and anything she finds interesting. you tried to take them away once, but eventually made a deal: as long as she doesn’t hurt anyone, she can keep them.
most of the time, if she’s not busy “painting her own work”, she’s watching you sketch. she might leave a few comments that bruise your ego beyond repair, but deep down - you’ve made a good impression. not that she’d ever admit it, of course.
meursault .𖥔 ݁ ˖
stands so perfectly still it’s genuinely unnerving. you either have to speak first or ask dante to help break the silence. a single blink is the most you’ll get in response if he’s asked anything directly.
he’s oddly fascinated by your calendar and to-do list. you once caught him trying to “optimize” your schedule. the result is either a flawless masterpiece of productivity or a rigid military-grade itinerary that starts at 4:00 am. no in-between.
why look for a reliable note keeper when you have meursault? you adore the way he silently holds your oversized note (two times his size) without complaint. he doesn’t read it or ask why. he just , holds it.
has no idea why patting his head or scooping him up makes you so happy. he doesn’t resist, but he doesn’t react either. at one point, he mutters, “i do not object to the action. though i would prefer it occur less frequently.” - you’re not quite sure if that’s a complaint or just meursault being meursault.
he never asks for anything. not a space, not even food. if you don’t take the initiative, he’ll simply stand there almost for the whole day. you have to be the one to act - to ask what he prefers (though the answer is always the same) or to gently scoop him up and place him on your bed.
despite his professional demeanor and painfully blunt responses, he’s hyper-observant. skipping a meal or staying up too late won’t escape his scrutiny. he says it like a fact, but you like to think it’s his way of caring. (perhaps it really is?)
hong lu .𖥔 ݁ ˖
a complete opposite of meursault, but not quite as full-on excited like don - we have hong lu. surely, all of this is concerning but he’d rather focus on the fun it could bring them (or him alone).
he’s curious about your world, especially the snacks. bonus points if they’re oddly shaped or sweet. you’ll catch him lounging in your cereal bowl or poking at gummy bears like they’re rare artifacts.
hong lu is pretty affectionate. he likes being scooped up, but only if you do it gently; if not, he’ll dramatically pretend to faint just to watch you panic. also instead of hugs, he taps your nose with both hands and says “boop. that’s affection, right?”
if you have long hair, he’ll braid it. (it won’t look good, but you make no effort in stopping him) if your hair’s short, he still manages to nest in it like a smug little bird.
absolutely uses his pocket-sized advantage to sneak into your hoodie’s hood, pockets, and sleeves. he curls up inside and occasionally poking his head out to comment on your life choices.
since he’s from a wealthy family pre-limbus, he’s interested enough to follow you around while you do regular house chores. you know it’s just pure curiosity, but it still stings all the same. the way he watches you scrub dishes or fold laundry like it’s a novelty. yeah, it hits.
too busy looking after every sinner except him? expect a hong lu in your backpack by the time you reach school - he won’t ask, he’ll just climb in. it’s your problem now: either be extremely careful or deal with the consequences.
heathcliff .𖥔 ݁ ˖
absolutely not thrilled about his new form of size. on the contrary, he’s snappy, stressed, and very much on edge like yi sang about the whole situation.
he’ll lash out at the other sinners (hong lu and don, especially) for being “idiots” about it; or at you. or both. depends on the hour.
when he’s not in the mood for physical contact (which is almost always), don’t touch him. if you try to pick him up unexpectedly, expect an awfully painful bite that is long enough to make you let go. he might be small, but he’s still a fighter. and he’ll make sure you remember that.
but that’s just at first sight. over time, the tension eases even just a little. he still refuses your offered food and insists on sleeping on your desk’s bookshelf though - unless necessary (or forced).
to get him to warm up, you’ll need patience and gentleness - even when he’s being ridiculously harsh. starts by letting you give him your handkerchief as a blanket, then eventually, he begins accepting the little treats you leave out. ‘begrudgingly’
when your pencil was sharpened down to nothing but a stub (too short to use anymore), you handed it to him as a gift. he didn’t say thank you or show much of a reaction, but the faint spark in his eyes and the way he holds it so carefully - says it all.
at some point, he gave up trying to keep up the “all bark and all bite” when it came to physical affection; you’re not doing it with bad intent anyway. still, he only tolerates hair ruffling. no scooping or picking up, he won’t take that well. and even with the one he does allow, he never lets it slide without tossing in a few curses and grumbles.
and when you stay up too late working on school projects, heathcliff will bark across the desk “oi! quit messin’ about with that nonsense and get some bloody sleep already, you hear me?!” - it’s not the easiest way to take in concern, yes, but that’s just how he shows he cares.
ishmael .𖥔 ݁ ˖
not talking about panic or confusion, she takes the whole “suddenly pocket-sized in a stranger’s house” surprisingly well.
the kind of person who scans every room, notes every exit, and probably has a mental map of your house before you’ve even properly introduced yourself.
despite her size, she’s more likely to become your sister figure once you earn her trust. if there’s a list of which sinner is the most reliable when it comes to taking care of the others you’re off studying or working, ishmael is no doubt number 1.
not too harsh like outis, or way too stoic like meursault, but firm enough to manage the chaos on her own.
whether you ask or not, she’s always nearby, lingering just close enough to assist. need help organizing notes? done. stubborn math problems? solved. keeping hong lu from climbing into your cereal box again? handled.
physical affection isn’t her default, but if you’re visibly stressed or upset, she’ll sigh and climb onto your arm, sitting there quietly in an attempt to lift your mood.
she doesn’t really mind being held with your fingers or having her head gently patted, but she prefers you ask first. pinching her cheeks, though? yeah, definitely off limits.
she’s made it clear that your paper crafts are “inconvenient” and “make the desk even messier than it already is”, but when you gifted her an orange paper crane, complete with white bows doodled on the head to resemble her - you caught her staring at it, like she wasn’t quite sure how to respond to a gesture that simple yet genuine.
rodion .𖥔 ݁ ˖
sure, she’s a little panicked and concerned at first, but seeing the others safe and sound. . . and you being surprisingly nice about it, she figures this might not be so bad after all.
moving on, she’s an instant nickname giver. you’re getting something like “longlegs” - or whatever pops into her head that day.
watching tv is her favorite pastime, especially dramas. she’ll perch on your shoulder or head, legs swinging, and drop a few comments like “bet he’s gonna cheat. i can feel it.” (she’s usually right)
jokes around constantly, but don’t let that fool you - she’s sharp. the moment you start showing signs of stress, she’ll glance over and say “you look like you need a nap and a drink. preferably both.”
board games? she’s the reigning queen. with just a few sneaky tricks, she’ll have heathcliff + outis sent to jail 5 times in a row in monopoly and doesn’t even try to hide her smugness.
feel like she’s absolutely the type to sit on your knees while you’re ranting - from school bullshits to workplace half baked boss; taking on the role of ‘gossip partner in crime.’ just when you think she’s barely listening? she’ll drop a casual “didn’t they pull this stunt last month too? you need new coworkers.” (no idea how did i think of this, but just have a feeling she’s into gossiping)
rodion’s pretty clingy, but in a teasing way - from shoulder rides, hair twirling to finger pokes. try to move away and she’ll take it super dramatically.
when you’re crafting diys for your little space, she’ll toss out compliments - not too poetic or serious, but just enough to smooth over the ego bruises ryoshu left behind.
emil sinclair .𖥔 ݁ ˖
no words. just absolutely freak the out. like, picturing him goes pale, trembling so violently it looks like he might collapse right then and there. you end up carrying him around tucked between your sleeves for the rest of the day while the others take turns reassuring him.
it’s hard to tell whether he trusts you or not. he doesn’t say it or show it outright, but when a loud noise triggers him and he hides behind your hand - clinging to your fingers like a lifeline - you know. that’s your answer.
every time you ruffle his hair or nuzzle him with your fingers, he blushes like mad. tries to brush you off with stammered words, but always ends up leaning into your touch anyway.
you notice he loves basking in warm light, especially the soft glow of early morning through your window. so that’s why he’s always up so early. . . the light seems to make the world feel a little less terrifying for him. it reminds you of how cats curl up in sunbeams, chasing comfort in silence.
speaking of cats, sometimes he just vanishes. you search everywhere, only to find your cat dragging him back by the coat collar like a tiny, misplaced kitten.
he hates feeling useless. even with his small size, he insists on helping however he can - sorting pens by color, tidying up your desk, stacking sticky notes like it’s a must task.
it’s not much, but it makes him feel like he matters. and when you toss him one of those ‘overrated’ compliments - just a simple “you did great” or “thank you” - his whole day lights up like it’s the best thing he’s ever heard.
outis .𖥔 ݁ ˖
the type who refuses to believe a single word you say unless it’s backed by hard evidence or dante’s confirmation. you’ve learned that the only way to get her to listen is to begrudgingly scoop her up, hold her at eye level, and let dante nod solemnly in agreement. only then will she pause, arms crossed and mutter “. . . acceptable. for now.”
despite her new, notably reduced size, outis remains as sharp-tongued and commanding as ever. she critiques everything, from your posture and schedule to your life choices. you swear you’ve accumulated enough sinking status just from her daily commentary alone.
probably the least likely to be “running after you all the time” compared to the other sinners. sure, she still observes you to gather “information”, but her priorities lie elsewhere: how to return to her old world, managing the chaos of her fellow coworkers, and keeping tabs on your questionable plans(?).
want her to warm up to you? easy, just be dante and you’re set. kidding. for real, let her have control over small things that help her feel grounded like: organizing your planner (she’ll restructure your week with military precision), managing your bookmark folders (expect judgmental side-eyes + disapproval) and overseeing your workspace layout (she’ll call it “tactical optimization”)
once you make it past her walls, she becomes a surprisingly reliable and helpful companion. still professional, still critical - but you can tell there’s a sense of loyalty and gratitude tucked beneath all that pride.
now picture her sitting on your shoulder, halfway through scolding you for missing a task and you just sorta reach up mid-lecture and brush your finger against her face. immediately swats your hand away, grunting “this is wildly inappropriate. refrain from such nonsense.”
gregor .𖥔 ݁ ˖
doesn’t say much. just sighs and accepts whatever fate got thrown his way.
at first, he chose to sleep in the oddest spots around your room - namely, inside your sleep slippers. luckily, they’re fur-lined; but that didn’t stop you from panicking the first time you found him there. he only shrugged and said “figured you wouldn’t be thrilled to see a pest sleeping on your bed like it owns the place.”
took a few rounds of convincing to get him to settle somewhere more reasonable. he still refuses to sleep with you, so the little box you made is good enough for him. occasionally you’ll find him lying there, quietly entertained as he watches his coworkers’ chaos like it’s some nature documentary.
he is a bug, after all. then why are you surprised when you catch him having a full-on conversation with a random beetle outside the window?
he’s not the type to seek out physical affection; in fact, he actively avoids it. his past makes it hard to accept gestures like that without flinching. even so, you’ll still scoop him up or pat him from time to time. he can do nothing but lets out a dry chuckle, “you’re younger and that’s not how respect works, kid.”
if he’s not chilling in his corner, he’s probably staring at you while you work on your projects. unlike faust or outis, he doesn’t judge; just slips in the occasional comment like “your handwriting looks like hell. i like it.”
let him cook. i mean, let him teach you to cook. he’s too small to pick up a spoon now, yeah, but his methods are surprisingly effective. you follow his instructions while he taste-tests everything to confirm it’s not poisoned like a father n’ child session.
꒰꒰ 🌸 GIVING THEM FLOWERS , the title! gifting the lcb sinners flowers out of the blue and their reactions!
一 headcanons , fluff , gn reader , can be read as platonic or romantic , probably ooc , not proofread !! ~2.1k wc
꒰꒰ ✉️ requests are also experimentally open! please read my request guidelines!
一 YI SANG #01
One of the best gifts to get him, really.
He slowly accepts them, and he has a happy little smile as he admires the flower and inquires about the reason you gifted him these flowers. Regardless of the reason, he's truly touched that you gave him such a gift.
Will literally cradle it and look at it as if it's his baby and either put it somewhere safe in his room, where he'll make sure it stays fresh for as long as possible, and yes, he will stare at it whenever he can.
After it inevitably dies, he'll preserve it as a bookmark in one of his notes (he will mourn it).
He strikes me as the type of person to gift you flowers anyway, whenever the Sinners are lucky to stumble upon the rare sight of one, but he will actively seek one out to repay you as well. Wants to put your two flowers together in the sun in his room.
Takes great care of it, there won't even be a single tear in the petal, no matter how delicate the flower is. 10/10.
一 FAUST #02
Will act detached and noncaring, but she does seem curious about the gift.
She'll identify the species, lifespan and even the symbolic meaning of the flower and quickly deduce why you chose that flower or if it was truly just a random flower you picked out for her. I can imagine her as the type to be a bit caught off guard if you truly just wanted to gift her flowers without any hidden motives.
Faust is not big on gifts, but she'll uncharacteristically accept them anyway since they're from you.
Probably puts it in a simple cup by her room or somewhere, at the very least, where she knows someone like Don won't knock it over and glances at it from time to time, though she has to hide most of her feelings towards it for the Gesellschaft.
Takes good care of it, she doesn't actively make an effort to preserve it, but she's dutiful enough so that it survives for a while and stays in great quality. 9/10.
一 DON QUIXOTE #03
Loves the gift and is very happy about receiving it.
"Ah, you've gifted me a token of great valour!"
She probably places it in a little cup of water alongside all her beloved Fixer merchandise, because your flower is definitely important enough to be beside them!
Will literally turn Mephistopheles upside down looking for a good-looking, suitable container or cup to keep them in.
Also, will actively search for a flower to gift you back as soon as possible! Like by as soon as possible, I mean as soon as possible, when the Sinners arrive at their next stop, she's already running out to find some for you and will end up very dejected if she doesn't find any, which is likely given the... environment.
Though Don's a bit clueless about how to, well, actually take care of it. With the best intentions in her heart, she puts it in a place where there's lots of sun, unaware that actually makes a picked flower shed its petals faster...
You will hear a scream of utter horror once the flower inevitably withers. 6/10.
一 RYŌSHŪ #04
Scoffs at them and judges them, especially if you gave her ordinary, generic flowers. They really do not fit her aesthetic or taste.
Unless you did consider what she likes. For example, if they were to have a thorny or macabre aesthetic, she'll be a bit more interested in them. "N.B."
Despite her initial behaviour, Ryoshu will accept them just because they're from you. She, truthfully, doesn't really know what to do with it; she might keep them around for a bit if it's just a stem or two. If there's more, she places them somewhere in her room and doesn't really touch them that much after that.
If you do get her flowers that she ends up liking, I can see her as the type who might keep a petal or so neatly tied to the red ribbon of her scabbard, where it inevitably becomes soaked in blood by the next battle (even better for her).
一 MEURSAULT #05
Accepts them rather mechanically before asking you what the exact purpose of gifting him these flowers was.
Once you establish the point of the flowers, he does appreciate the gesture, though he barely shows any outward reaction to them. He's careful when touching them and might make a note about the flowers, inquiring if you liked this particular kind or not.
He takes good care of them, though, and he'll look for some place to put them safely and keep them astonishingly well taken care of.
He will trim their stems and make sure the water temperature's right and they're in a good, cool spot in his room. They'll end up surviving for a good week or so under his care. 10/10.
一 HONG LU #06
One of the better reactions to the flowers. He really likes them and will tease you gently about them.
Will proudly carry the flowers around for a while, only basically putting them down when he has to fight or do something where his hands are occupied.
If you gave him multiple, he likes to "share" some of the flowers with you as well. He will tuck one behind your ear or tie a few into your hair so the two of you can match.
He's another person who would get you flowers back whenever he can! If he can't find any, he has no qualms with going and buying a fancy bouquet for you once the Sinners reach their next stop.
He also makes sure to keep some behind for himself, and he does make an effort to preserve them, though he's not as meticulous as someone like Meursault, he will still work out a good way to keep them fresh for a while. 9/10.
一 HEATHCLIFF #07
He'll definitely be surprised when you gift them to him, very baffled about why you'd be giving him these flowers and turning a bit red while holding onto them for dear life (please don't do that Heathcliff)
Once you tell him you just wanted to gift him some flowers, he'll grumble a bit, trying to play it off as a stupid gesture, though he really, really likes it.
Eventually manages to thank you and speedily power-walks to his room while looking at the flowers in his hands with a very conflicted expression on his face.
He ends up putting them into some LCB standard-issue mug or container by his bedstand with an uncharacteristic amount of care. Like his hands will be shaking as he places them in, as if they'll explode if he moves them too hard.
He's clueless about how to take care of a picked flower, but he makes his best attempt, and it survives surprisingly long. He's also oddly protective of it and will get all defensive and tense if someone walks too close to it.
一 ISHMAEL #08
Honestly, she's pretty cynical about it at first and will scan for any ulterior motive. You're gonna ask her for something in return, aren't you?
However, once Ishmael realizes you genuinely gifted them out of the goodness of your heart, she gets rather flustered and will look at the flowers in her hands with an unsure expression, thanking you for the gift.
She'll hold the flowers tightly and refuse to put them down, however, and promptly finds a suitable cup or place to store them in. Leaves them in her room and actively checks on them to make sure it's still fresh and the water is renewed.
Also gets defensive when she feels like someone may endanger them and will remind everyone not to touch them or move them around too much, lest they fall over or die faster.
She really appreciates the gesture, even if she's awkward at expressing it, and will probably gift you something similar in return once she has the chance to in the future.
一 RODION #09
Pretty ecstatic about receiving the flowers and will definitely tease you about it, saying something along the lines of, "Oooh, you shouldn't have!"
Assuming that you bought the flowers, Rodion might lightheartedly complain that the money could've been spent on a hearty meal or some snacks, but there's zero bite behind her words because she truly appreciates the gesture, even though she's really not used to such affections.
Spends the rest of the day proudly carrying them around.
Eventually, she does look for a way she can set them down, though she's less meticulous about it than some of the other Sinners. She might just leave them on her desk or in a cup and cherish them for as long as they stay fresh.
She's not above showing them off to the other Sinners to. If they come near her while she's holding them or enter her room, she'll flaunt the flowers you got her like a museum artifact.
一 SINCLAIR #11
Another one with a good reaction, he gets very flustered and will stutter out a thank you as he graciously accepts the flowers.
It takes him a while to get him out of his flushed daze after he receives them, where he'll just hold them carefully, terrified that the slightest movement will ruin them. Once he thinks he's alone, he'll look at them with a boyish grin. He's just genuinely so happy about the small gesture of affection.
Finds a good place to put them in and definitely keeps them in his room, tolerating some amount of teasing and knowing looks from the rest of the Sinners.
Protective of the flowers, too! He'll make sure Sinners like Don or Heathcliff stay away from them, given the risk that they may knock them over, and will constantly check on them and absolutely panic if he sees that a petal is beginning to fall or the stem is beginning to brown.
Another one who gets really dejected when they inevitably wilt. He'll look really ashamed about it too, even if it's not his fault that they withered.
一 OUTIS #12
She's rather cynical about it. I can see her distrustfully asking you why you got her the flowers while turning them around in her hands to assess them.
When you tell her that you wanted to gift her something, she remains uptight about it, though the gesture clearly catches her off guard. Outis scoffs and looks at them with a conflicted expression while awkwardly clearing her throat.
Ends up keeping them with a reluctant facade. It's not that she dislikes the gift at all, but she's seen far too much to really be accustomed to such affections at this point in her life, so she's really not sure what she feels about them, but something within her keeps her from simply throwing them out.
She takes care of it fine enough, though; she might just leave it in a cup in her room and leave it at that. (It's in your best interest not to point out the fact that she kept them.)
一 GREGOR #13
Deeply caught off guard and will be all awkward about it.
Gregor has, and I mean 100% has, never received flowers and gifts like this, and he's unsure why you'd even give such delicate flowers to someone like, well, him. So he definitely doesn't know how to act about it either.
He settles for an awkward chuckle as he looks at the flowers you gave him. He's unsure about what to do with them, but he ultimately decides the best choice is to just keep them in his room or somewhere safe where they won't get crushed up or knocked over. He also has zero clue about how to take care of them, but he gets the gist.
He's earnest and might try to water it or something to keep it fresh, and he glances at it from time to time with a reflective look and feels guilty when they die, and ends up thinking he did something wrong.
Sleeping HC's with the female sinners! (+ Intimidating evil clockhead on the background)
Dreadcore yap session: first request <3 should probably be popping a bottle of champagne or something like that xd. Im really happy for the support the last one got although i found it a bit crappy i will try harder this time😔 aside from PM i can see myself writing for jjk or hoyoverse (i have a csm school au headcanon wip from like god know how long ago, probably wont write any csm apart from that one after THAT ending)
Faust
She stays up late every night. I feel she would only get to bed at like 4 am when you're already asleep.
She's a bit of a hypocrite, i can imagine her lecturing you about your sleep habits. What about her? Faust is built different apparently, geniuses of her caliber must adapt and overcome but as long you stay below her you WILL sleep your 8 hours.
Faust will usually be the big spoon, i imagine her liking being the small one but since she gets to bed ultra late thats the easiest way to snuggle with you.
When she wakes up earlier than you she just stares at you, watching drool slowly drip from your mouth to the pillow. Apparently being a good cuddle parter is something faust can pride herself in, no geselchaft involved.
Don quixote
Has a lot of those pijama sets with the santa hat looking thingy, she would be very happy if you wore one with her.
Its you, donqui and your color fixer plushie collection against the world. If she ever catches you sleeping while cuddling one of those she would be SOOOOO jealous, she will wake you up and demand explanations. She will NOT stand this (she says as she cuddles onto your chest)
She moves so much on her sleep. she is stealing the blankets, as much as you try before you even realize the blanket is gone and you're cold and miserable while she sleeps besides you totally oblivious about the evil acts she inflicts upon her most beloved.
Ryoshu
While one may think she wakes up at 5 am from the rigorous training she went at the house of spiders you would be wrong, whats the real reason?
She needed to get Araya ready for school thats all😭 if it wasn't for the habit she picked up with Araya she would have started waking up at 5 pm as soon as she got out that place.
She definitely has drawn you while sleeping. She has a sketchbook she keeps tucked somewhere with drawings upon drawings of you drooling on HER pillow cases (honestly i cant decide if she would have some fancy ass pillow cases or no pillow cases at all… i guess im truly a larper sfter all😔).
Ishmael
Every days is an adventure with her. Trying to untangle from her hair might as well be consider on the same level as a travel to the outskirts.
You swear it has a life on its own the way it just seems to magically target your mouth and orifices. and then your most beloved has the nerve, the absolute GALL to complaining about you getting her hair dirty? She must be out of her- oh you two can shower together? Now that you mention it…
Honestly i really dont see her as the snuggler type, she seems like someone who would enjoy to have you brushing her hair while you both talk. Doing your morning routine together is absolutely her favorite part of the day.
Thats why you two are sleeping at the same hours (yes, shes forcing you).
Rodya
Y'all arent getting anywhere im so fucking sorry 😭
She's like a big ass teddy bear, i feel it would start with any of you two as the big spoon only to end with this non euclidian mess of arms that is nothing more than a crime against nature, arts and God itself.
Its SUCH a hastle to try and untangle yourselfs so why not just chill? 5 minutes, right? We dont have anything to do today, right? (You must definitely had something to do that day)
Outis
Look i would love to be like "oh she would do an exception for you she would do x and y but like…" :/
She's running this shit as a boot camp im so sorry. I see her getting more lax as the canto's go on but she would be strict about sleep schedules.
The struggle to get those extra 5 minutes is one that shall go in history. Thousand of cheek kisses, hundreds of whimpers yet nothing. You are not getting them im so sorry
Dante
If im not wrong in the nocturnal sweeping intervallo its stated they dont need to sleep. They would enjoy just staring at you while working on some stuff or occasionally cuddling you for mental health purposes.
I feel they would feel like such a weirdo for things that are relatively normal for couples
Like, wow you decided to watch a horror movie just so your partner gets scared and cuddles you? Absolute WEIRDO behavior
Belive it or not they end up the one being scared, ending up in your lap? Mission failed successfully i guess?
Tags: All LCB Sinners (separate) x reader, fluff, some of these are more ooc than others
a/n: It's so clear that I know how to write like 3 of these guys sorry lol (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
Yi Sang
Very insistent on you taking the bed for yourself
Less of an embarrassment thing for him, more of a "I could never let someone else suffer when I could bear the consequences myself" type thing
However, if you insisted or made it clear that you'd feel uncomfortable being the only one on the bed, then he'd be more than willing to join you
Not a massive cuddler, but would end up curling against you
Would probably find your presence rather comforting, and would end up sleeping well for once
He'll probably ask you to do this again LK;DJSLJATILAJTIJELIJTIOL;J
Faust
Starts spouting some nonsense about how she is a superior being and that she doesn't need sleep
In reality her abundance of mirror world selves has not prepared her for this
Will not join you, no matter how much you fuss
Would only be willing if she REALLY liked you or you were great at emotionally manipulating her
Even if she didn't join you at the start though, she'd probably find herself joining you in the bed some time late at night
I feel like she'd intertwine her fingers with yours before sleeping
Don Quixote
Does! Not! Care!!!!!
Probably really excited about having a sleepover with you
There will most likely be a pillow fight, even if it's just you two throwing one singular pillow at each other
However those shoes are not leaving her feet sooo… good luck
Moves a lot in her sleep, will most likely end up with her arm on your face and her leg over your body
She's oh so sweet though so you can't truly get mad
Ryoshu
Congratulations on getting the chance to sleep on the floor
Share the bed? I.Y.D.
Call me a hater, I just can't see anything else from what I've seen of her so far (Canto 5)
Maybe. MAYBE if she really liked you then she'd let you in the bed
But she would probably cuddle with her sword over you
Meursault
He is similar to Faust in the sense that he is also saying a bunch of nonsense, but his speech boils down to "both of you need good sleep so you should share the bed"
Will not converse with you in the slightest, will simply tell you to sleep
Falls asleep at 10 pm flat and then becomes a rock until 6 am
If he likes you though, you may sense the slightest shift of his body towards your direction
Subtle to the point that you'd think you're imagining things
Hong Lu
Another person that I think would be fine with it
However him and his rich boy tendencies will make him take up most of the bed
I feel like his actions would change drastically depending on how he felt about you
If he felt neutral or mainly platonic, then I feel like he'd just end up intertwining limbs with you as he hogged most of the bed
But if he liked you, he'd be a bit more sly, taking the opportunity to cuddle with you
His hair would be oh so soft… but you would most likely end up somehow wrapped up inside of it by the time morning comes
Also if you couldn't sleep then you two would do skincare together
Heathcliff
He's fairly chill about it
I don't see him flipping out about it, but he's not super excited either
But if he likes you? Oh, then that's a different story
Desperately trying to keep his cool and seem impressive while in reality he's just kind of flailing around
If any of his actions make you laugh, he won't know if to feel happy or offended
Will take him a while to fall asleep, but once he does he'll end up holding you in his arms
Ishmael
Now this is the one person that I think has a truly normal reaction
She really just is chill with it regardless
She usually leaves her hair out when she sleeps, but she'd be willing to braid it for your comfort
If you offer to do it for her, she'll act normal but feel really happy about it
Ends up slightly curling up against you, absorbing your warmth
Probably the best sleep she's had in a while
Rodya
She's pretty happy about this arrangement
She gets to spend time with you and get some extra warmth? Win win
Will no doubt pull out a deck of cards from who knows where and play a couple of rounds with you
She's willing to lose a few games, but she will make sure she's the winner overall
Will most likely end up bear hugging you to sleep
Sinclair
He is so freaking nervous he thinks he's going to combust into flames
Offers several times to sleep on the floor, half for your sake and half for his
He's so nervous that he can't even remember how he normally acts
If he likes you and Ryoshu knows about it, then he might recite some of her horrible advice in his head just to keep his cool
Will not sleep a single minute that night, but will be very very giddy in the morning
Outis
Not delighted by this circumstance, but she'll make it work
From what I've seen, Outis doesn't really like being vulnerable, and this situation is just about as vulnerable as it could get
Starts rattling on about how you two cannot cause any issues to the Executive Manager, and therefore you must both get adequate rest
In other words, she wants to share the bed
Falls asleep in 5 minutes flat, and probably ends up slightly curling up against you
Will fully deny all allegations in the morning though
Gregor
Not a fan of this arrangement in the slightest
It's not about you at all, rather it's about him and his arm
Will refuse to share the bed with you, saying that he'll sleep on the floor and that's final
Above anything he could want, he doesn't want to hurt you
Will talk with you about whatever you want until you fall asleep
He might watch you for a bit during the night, wondering about what could've been if he wasn't a monster

yi sang uses what he is best at to charm you: his words. he’ll give you presents on important days, take you out on dates and pay when it’s your birthday, but the real gift comes from the cards and speeches he makes that encompass all his feelings using pure rhetoric. most of the time, they’re either poems or short paragraphs, but they’re enough to make you tear up every time. it’s difficult for him to truly express himself on the spot, he says, and he isn’t the most emotive person in the world, so he knows that his talent comes in handy during moments when he’s overwhelmed by how much he feels for you. to him, you are not only good practice for literally using love language, but a person that writing cannot express. no word is enough to describe how beautiful you are in his eyes, so that’s why he keeps trying with every paper he comes across.
faust somehow manages to know exactly what you want without you ever asking. you’ll come to her room one day at her request and find that she’s bought you something you wanted but didn’t get – you didn’t even tell her that you liked the item in the first place, having only given it a passing glance, so it’s a mystery how she figured it out. it’s always random too, her gifts. every time, without warning, she’ll just casually mention having something for you and you know that she’s used her magical powers to buy you another thing that you wanted. the truth, in reality, is simple: she just pays attention to you a lot. that, and the gesellschaft provides some hints, but it’s mostly her intuition and careful observation that allows her to make appropriate purchases. one of the fausts warned her that she was spoiling you, but she doesn’t care as long as it makes you smile, since it means she knows another way to bring out that lovely expression from you.
don quixote loves to give you her things. things that she’s collected over the years, been extremely gentle with because of the memories they hold. old fixer posters and figures, preserved through the years and almost in perfect condition. she’ll let you hold them and turn them over in your hands because she trusts you, and she loves it when you ask about them so that she can ramble. to her, the best thing about it is how you always listen to what she has to say and always show your interest. other than that, she also finds little trinkets that remind you of her and gives them to you, no matter how small or big they are. if she finds a stone that has a heart-shaped hole in it, she’s giving it to you. if there’s a ring from an obscure alleyway store with a unique pattern engraved into the metal, it’s getting put on your finger. anything that reminds her of your bond will always be given to you.
ryoshu doesn’t really do gifts. she doesn’t see the point in those kinds of things, because she thinks that as long as she shows it, material items hardly matter in a relationship. of course, there are some exceptions, like the lighter that you engraved your initials into, but she’d still use the lighter if you didn’t do that. just less, because there’d be less reason to look at it. if there’s anything she would consider a gift, it’s the things she lends to you, like her coat when you’re cold or a cigarette (even if you don’t smoke) just to match what she’s doing. it’s a two-way street, too – she hardly feels the need to accept anything you give her unless she feels it’s absolutely necessary. but luckily for you, that tends to be often.
meursault, true to his nature, will not get you anything unless you explicitly say you want it… but there’s no limit to it. if you say you want a drink, he’s getting one for you. if you say you want a new phone, he’s getting it. if you say you want a cat, he’s showing up later that day with one. no matter how expensive it is, it ends up in your arms – it gets to a point where you have to tell him whether you truly want something or are just making a passing comment. he’s satisfied following what you want, although it does pain him slightly to hear you take back some of your wishes. as far as he’s aware and analyzed thus far, whenever he gets you exactly what you want, you end up happy in the end even if there’s a bit of pushback at the beginning. so hearing you say that you’re only joking dissatisfies him, even if he never shows it.
at first, hong lu spoils you. he gets you expensive things, and like meursault, if you even mention an item, it’s going to be given to you within the next 24 hours. but eventually, he begins to slow down, both under your request and his own conscience. the gifts go from extravagant to more heartfelt, a bouquet of flowers full of colors you like instead of a giant arrangement that he thought truly showed his love. at first, he can tell that his sudden withdrawal concerns you, but he notices that the things you get from him this time make you smile wider than when he showered you with money. he doesn’t take any offense to it and instead realizes that he’d rather make your smile a rarity that he deserves instead of something so easily given to him by his own doing.
heathcliff gifts you things that remind him of you, mainly. although he doesn’t have any qualms about spending money when it comes to you, it’s a habit to make something out of nothing that he can’t seem to shake off. he’d rather treat you to something impressive with his cash than give you a bunch of small things, so he waits till then and instead gives you personalized items. with clumsy hands, he makes flower chains and crowns to adorn you, takes the time to learn how to bake and cook so that he can surprise you on date nights. he never asks you for anything unless you offer it first, and enjoys showing off the skills he’s acquired in his quest to make you swoon. his heart swells with pride when it works every time – it never gets old.
ishmael would be big into giving you trinkets. things she’s collected from voyages, bits and pieces of the places she’s visited that she couldn’t bring you to because she didn’t want you to be in the danger she puts herself in out at sea. she’d be big into handmade things too, similar to don, and spends hours to make sure it’s perfect for her and you – it has the type of aesthetic you like while maintaining her imperfect yet charming style. most of all, though, she likes things that she can see on you, to remind her that she’s a part of you like you are to her: bracelets composed of sailor’s knots made out of cord that’s your favorite color, necklaces that have a sunset-colored stone, a keychain that you and her made together. it reminds her that you’ll always be a compass that directs her to where her home is: where you are.
rodya, like heathcliff, promises to treat you when she strikes it big. so till then, she’s giving you everything she can and more, pulling out all the stops to ensure that everything she gets is shared with you in some way. if there’s someone inviting her to dinner, she’s bringing you along. if she can’t, she’ll bring any leftovers she can find so you two can share while watching something that you picked out on the tv. she prefers to gift you in experiences, whether that be lying in bed all day or taking a trip to the shopping district to try on all their outfits and laugh at the terrible taste of some rich people. the way she sees it, time spent with you is her gift, so she wants to prolong it as much as possible to enjoy each moment.
sinclair makes sure to pay attention to the things you like and dislike so that when he does give you things, they can be extra special. whenever you tell him about an achievement you’ve made, whether it be cleaning out your room or finishing a tough task you had, he uses it as an excuse to give you gifts. he does it sparingly, though, in order to not make you think that he’ll always give you things… but it doesn’t change the fact that he wants to do that. all the time. he likes spending time with you in any way, but seeing you enjoy the things he gets for you makes him happy, since he knows that you’re pleased. he’s a bit of an overthinker when it comes to your relationship, so the validation emboldens him.
outis gives gifts as she sees fit. she knows when to spoil you and when to hold back, waiting for more practical or special moments to hand you something that you’ve been wanting for a while. she’s attentive, which is how she knows these things about you, and keeps a mental (and physical) list of everything you’ve mentioned with a fond tone in order to ensure the most optimal gift schedule. she’s also big into handmade things, especially if they’re things that can stand for a while. if you mention liking a certain flower, she’ll find some place to plant it that you always pass by. if you mention wanting to start a new hobby, she’ll get you everything you need – if that hobby leads to you giving something to her, that makes her heart beat a little faster.
gregor, surprisingly, likes to give you everything you want. he hates to see you sad or yearning, so he does his best with what he has to make sure you get anything you like. he enjoys surprising you, too, so he’ll sometimes go behind your back to get you something you had your eye on just to see your eyes light up as you gush about how kind he is. it eases his mind to know that you enjoy everything you get from him, and those moments do take up a lot of his good memories, but he also values the quiet time you two have. especially when he can smoke late at night on the balcony and listen to you talk quietly about your day while you sip on some drink he made for you, since it makes him feel closer to you.

🪶 𐐪𐐩 : YI SANG . . ♡
I feel like his demeanor toward you depends on whether you board post canto 4 or not. Well not like he'd be hostile or anything in the first place
You'd notice how he'd be way more quiet pre canto 4, Yi Sang would probably just give you a normal 'welcome' and observe everything else on the sidelines
Whereas for post canto 4, he would probably attempt to speak to you more! Much like Rodya does. He involves himself more in discussions (or atleast attempts to) and has an easier time interacting with you.
His way of speaking is definitely something that needs getting used to, like Faust's. Or, well, everyone else that's on the bus. 🤥
But honestly, it's still interesting to hear and listen to his poetic ramblings, even if it's hardly understandable at times
And once he starts conversing with Faust, everything becomes like . 100% more incomprehensible than usual
But nevertheless, Yi Sang would be somebody you'd find a certain warm feeling with I believe. I mean even his voice feels like it has a certain familiar warmth to it
Now that I think about it Yi Sang would do some banger asmr
👻 𐐪𐐩 : FAUST . . ♡
She would be indifferent about your arrival, i'd believe. She would have most likely planned for you to enter the bus in the first place, so it is definitely the least surprising to her
And ofcourse that means that she's one of the people you'll probably talk most with. Well, atleast at first, Given how you most likely don't know much or pretty much anything about the company and/or Mephistopheles. or their mission. or whatever else the City has to offer on your adventures
Though her lengthy explanations for every minute detail concerning a topic just might be abit painful to listen to . if not painful, then definitely tiring.
So unless you're someone who likes listening to a mishmash of complex words explaining even a more complex word (among other things), then you may be cooked 🥀🤘
And you definitely can't back out of them after she starts, because Faust is rather observant, and she notices when you didn't understand a certain thing she has said (or more things. perhaps you didnt understand anything uttered out of her mouth at all)
But Faust is nice! She will even adjust her level of speech, exclusively just for you. Isn't she just so kind
Like Yi sang, you get used to her way of talking, it will probably take a while though. And who knows? Maybe you'll find yourself understanding Faust's explanations faster than you thought! Or not. Ik i still don't
🎠 𐐪𐐩 : DON QUIXOTE . . ♡
Excited. VERY excited. Another Sinner you'll probably hear alot from (damn everyone on this bus just LOVES to talk)
Although it would also depend on how and who you are as a sinner. Then again that probably is the case for everyone here nfkfkfkdkkd
Nevertheless she likes to talk your ear off. Like she just loves to do with everyone on this vehicle
You either match her energy, tolerate it or despise it. Probably some inbetweens and whatnot, interacting with Don Quixote is indeed an entire spectrum on it's own
If you like to match her energy and get excited about certain topics like Fixers, adventures etcetc she will definitely warm up to you better and faster, and will turn toward you more when the topic is brought up (either by her or another person)
She'd probably behave the same one way or the other . but you'll notice how she tends to call out your name more than the others
Overall Don Quixote is nice company to have. She's bright and energetic, and whether you like it or not, you can't deny the fact that her unyielding determination and fascination towards certain things light up the room when things are rather dim
🚬 𐐪𐐩 : RYŌSHŪ . . ♡
Ryoshu is a difficult one . I dont really think she'd care about anyones new arrival either, but I can sort of see her talking with you from time to time.
Not necesseraily for a conversation, but just because you're also working under the lcb now, so should something happen involving you or whatever she wouldn't back off from making a comment
You'd appreciate her casualness, if it ACTUALLY were casual. Ryoshu is sorta hostile. Not just toward you, but toward everyone
Her way of speaking, including the constant use of what is (atleast in your opinion) nonsensical abbreviations (you might die if you say that out loud) are yet another thing you'll have to get used to.
Once again; like Yi Sang's poetic way of articulating sentences, like Faust's convulted elucidations... You get it. This is just another one of them. You will be a constant victim to this phenomenon
Well, sort of. The exception for this time is that you feel like you're gonna get hunted in your sleep if you misunderstand anything. (which you will.) (lock your doors girl.) (sinners be like i have my whole life ahead of me NO BITCH! the 🚬 is COMING!!!)
But if somehow, miraculously, you understand whatever shes trying to abbreviate, she'll take more of a liking to you. Would probably mock the others because somehow, even though you just joined, you understand her cultured way of speaking better
🌇 𐐪𐐩 : MEURSAULT . . ♡
Meursault is a difficult one. He would definitely welcome you though, I'd imagine
I feel like if you'd like to know more about him, you'd actually have to go up and talk to him 🧐
I say this because we oftentimes see that Meursault never really does anything without direct orders. Even if, for example, he has done observations that may be crucial to the mission the lcb currently find themselves in
Buuuttt !!! He's been taking more initiative himself independantly, yet I still believe you'd actually have to go up and speak to him directly for more
Meursault would be very interesting to talk to. He knows alot, and he oftentimes explains certain things simpler than the others, even if its juuust by a lil.
He would be indifferent about your areival aswell. It dosen't concern him much, but with enough effort, you can definitely become a closer friend of his
🔮 𐐪𐐩 : HONG LU . . ♡
(i didnt play canto 8 yet so please keep that in mind because i heard he underwent some changes and/or some reveals and i got 0 damn clue wat dey are and frankly idnt even wanna know.)
I honestly think that Hong Lu is a sinner who would be curious about you too. He would probably ask you some things that would come across as insensitive toward you and make you accidentally hate him
Oh but who could hate a boy that just is kind of really adorable and has a baby face...
you. you would.
or not!
LIKE I think it would depend on you whether you take his comments and remarks as serious or not even if he himself dosen't mean anything in a malicious way
As we are aware Hong Lu has grown up in a rich family (will NOT comment on the familys status concerning emotional availability or similar)
So I think your financial privelage would be another factor that would play in how well you would get along with him or be able to sympathize with him
⛈ 𐐪𐐩 : HEATHCLIFF . . ♡
I guess he wouldn't really care? At worst, you'll just be another headache like some of the other Sinners, but that dosen't mean he will directly hate you, although it might probably appear that way
I'd argue Heathcliff is one of the kindest sinners actually. But ofcourse that would depend on when exactly you would join the bus too. it'd be like yi sangs situation maybe
well except that his kinder nature would show signs of being there earlier than only appearing after his canto is cleared. i think his care for people its just that its ignored most of the time (or atleast i feel like it is . even if just by the fandom and not actually in game)
Either way, I think between Heathcliff and a new Sinner, things might be a bit rocky at first. But over time, bonding would most definitely happen
One way or another, you will see Heathcliffs caring side come to light. And it will be so peak
⛪️ 𐐪𐐩 : ISHMAEL . . ♡
Same as Heathcliff, but abit more sociable (or tolerable) toward you
Once again, it really depends on your attitude with her, and It would be especially the case with her.
If you're brash, obnoxious, or anything along those lines she definitely wouldn't be so fond of you at first. You'd be like a second Don Quixote, or even worse... A second Heathcliff. 😨😨😨😨😨😨😱💥💥🤯
But ofcourse, she'd have to deal with it now. You're co-workers, after all, and no amount of complaining or internal frustrations she's going to have will reverse that
I think for Ishmael to get more comfortable with you if you were obnoxious in her exes, you'd definitely have to be on the bus for a while, so it would probably take some time. Or alot of time.
And either way: her, albeit rare, harsh remarks don't falter
On the other hand, if you're more laid back and casual, Ishmael would probably find herself being more comfortable around you quicker.
Whether she starts conversations with you or vice versa depends, but she'd be more relaxed while talking with you than for with example Sinclair, or any other sinner she isn't that close with
Ishmael would be a good friend to have, though. She stands her ground
🪓 𐐪𐐩 : RODION . . ♡
Obviously, Rodion would be another one of the Sinners you'll talk alot with. Probably the most after Faust, considering how talkative and cheery she is
A new Sinner would surprise her as much as a few other people on the bus. So she's curious about you, and isn't afraid to reach out to you to satisfy said curiosity
Or atleast pretends to be curious (don't take it too harshly. She just wants to make sure you feel welcomed atleast)
Though I still think you would obviously be able to spark genuine curiosity within her! Depending on what you tell her, ofcourse.
As I've said, she's very talkative and welcoming, so she would be yet another sinner you would probably be comfortable around (i mean. who wouldnt be. i know i would be attached to her 24/7 and not to her hip but to her breasts)
Much like Hong Lu I feel like your financial status could play a role with her too. If you understand her struggles better you would probably be able to connect with her much more easily or earlier than expected.
🕒 𐐪𐐩 : DANTE . . ♡
Now for Dante. I feel like two scenarios can play out:
1. they are NOT aware of a newcomer and suddenly one day you board the bus and they freak out. Not externally, not at all.
Either way, how exactly would this play out?
You weren't with the Sinners when Dante boarded the bus, which equals to you not being there when the contract happened. Would that mean they would have to go through that entire process again?
2. They ARE aware that you will board the bus, yet that doesn't really soothe their aforementioned worries. But! They would be more prepared with announcing your arrival to the other sinners!
I feel like since Dante is your manager (and they seem kind enough, for a clockhead (i wonder if that is a slur in the lcbverse)), you might lean more toward staying with them, too
I feel like you would find their lighthearted aide endearing. Who wouldn't. when Dante cracks jokes, even if they sound stupid, you BETTER laugh
Now, they would look forward to welcoming you too I think. They've become more confident as a leader over the course of the cantos, so it would be very nice to see Dante, who was so passive at first, help guide you through the bus (with the help of Faust some times, at least when it comes to explaining stuff)
🐣 𐐪𐐩 : SINCLAIR . . ♡
I don't think Sinclair would be bothered by it as much as I wouldn't think that a new Sinner would be the most groundbreaking thing ever to him
But he wouldn't be opposed to getting to know you!
He just. May not be as passionate as Don Quixote.
Or anyone else on that bus for that matter
Matter of fact I feel like he might be more shy. Given how you behave he would either steer clear or find comfort in your presence
I think if your presence resembled that of prologue Heathcliffs with a shot of gigatestosterone Sinclair wouldn't casually come up to you and ask if you want to paint the nails on his toes with him🤥🤥🤘
If you were more reversed or laid back he'd definitely find you someone who he can rely on more
But of course he would warm up to you! And would hold more casual conversations with you. If you leave him on read IRL in that scenario though all the progress flies out the window
Lowkey I don't know what else would happen I feel like his reactions, behaviour and opinions toward you would be the most neutral ones
👢 𐐪𐐩 : OUTIS . . ♡
This lady tests you to the point you feel like you're back in college writing an essay about a war
Merely because I think it's funny she forces you to do push ups and pilates repeatedly
Ok she doesn't she isn't a gym coach but like imagine how funny it'd be.
Outis would either be wary of you or she would be elated (I want you to imagine that sprite where she smirks maliciously) that another Sinner has joined the ranks.
It'd definitely depend on your life experiences too though, I think if you're annoying she'd still find you a burden but if you, for example, went through a war or a hard battle yourself she definitely holds respect for you
I don't think it'd be that hard to win her approval anyway. You could do it. I'm sure you would. Like no one else has done it yet afaik but you can be the one to crack the code.
Either way, I think Outis would be a Sinner you wouldn't find yourself near to at least not that often or as often as some of the others
🪲 𐐪𐐩 : GREGOR . . ♡
Gregor! I feel like he'd be on the side to greet and talk with you normally. He's like rhat co worker you're on the same wavelenghts with
That one Bug Oomf you keep around cuz he chill
Honestly if I said you'd get along with this or that Sinner best before I want you to scratch that. I think Gregor would be the Sinner you'd get along with most as a fellow newcomer
Or you join the unestablished Rodigor duo and and up as a polycule with them! #HUZZAH💰💰🤑🤑🤑
As we've seen he is very sympathetic and also an all around good-natured and friendly guy. He has his moments but you haven't done anything bad (I mean I hope you didn't🤨) for him to warrant being aggressive toward you which would be surprising on it's own tbh.
Aslong as it doesn't get too personal, he is the one you could hold a conversation easiest with.
I think being near him would be kind of cozy too ... like you could have that comfortable silence vibe with him type shift
He'd tease you sometimes though I feel like the relationship would sail smoothly enough between you two that he thinks you both are close enough to do a few quips.
Anyway this one is definitely your best friend or one of your best friends (as i said Rodigor👀qpr👀or not👀polycule👀)
i havent played limbus company in SO LONG (ts shit loser didnt even finish the lcb check up intervallo bs 🤦♀️🤦♀️) also im also vv sorry for it being. like one year late now. snd for some of these being quite short. wallahi ican explain. this was veryhard and i pray its somehow in character from the fragments i remember...
a fanfic where the sinners end up in the real world, and with your guidance, learn to live without having to fight for their lives everyday.

PROLOGUE: IN MY HOUSE...?
wc: 681
you're an average person. you work a job, you come home, you shower, eat, sleep, use your leisure time accordingly, repeat. however, given your crippling gacha game addiction you find yourself working a little harder just so you can afford an extra ten pull or so.. hence why you came home and immediately plunged face first into your pillow.
"hnngh..... for the pretty characters, i guess."
you turn yourself over and lay on your back as you pull out your phone to check the time. you usually never work this late, but your dedication got you quite far in terms of showing off how many characters you've pulled in your gacha games, limbus company in specific. the game has been slowly taking over your life. the game is quite free to play friendly, so why are you spending money? because you're impatient and you don't feel like grinding, and that's okay. the clock reads 1:56 am. you shrug and stand up to stretch, walking over towards your desk and powering on your computer.
"can't do anything until i say hi to outis, still salty about not getting magic bullet though.."
you thought out loud as you open up steam to launch the game, the only thing that kept you from getting magic bullet last walpurgisnacht was your abysmal gacha luck. you enjoy spending money on gacha games, but to say you're a lucky player is an overstatement. you give that thought a break as the game finally launches and you take a minute to look at the menu screen before eventually going to the story tab and checking your progress.
"this lei heng dude isn't a joke, damn."
you shrug at your failed attempt to beat him and navigate to try again, taking a moment to look at the team selection screen before slouching in your chair, thinking to yourself:
"ahh.. he can wait. i'll just shower first and come back. clears my mind, i'll have a better strategy then."
you stand up and after getting out clothes and such, you make your way to the bathroom, adjusting the water to how you see fit and stepping in. you actually feel quite nice, closing your eyes as you clean yourself, you genuinely feel your mind clearing! until it's interrupted:
THUMP!
your eyes shoot open as you whip your head in all directions trying to wrap around what you just heard. you take it as queue to finish up your shower and check everything out. your heart rate is high, what if someone broke in? not that you have much for them to take anyway, but still a valid reason to be afraid. you leave the bathroom, body partially still wet as you run to your room, where you heard the loud thump from.
"...huh..?"
there they were, thirteen grown adults who very much so resemble your favorite sinners.. even the clock's here! you blink hard and aggressively, trying to wrap your head around what's happening. dedicated cosplayers? sure, but why are they breaking into YOUR house out of anywhere? you didn't have much time to think, given outis already stood tall in front of the group.
"YOU! state your identity. where have you taken us?"
i quickly shoot my hands up, eyes wide as i scan the room once more just to confirm this was really happening, i start thinking of the different possible ways i could answer her question.
"you're.. in my house.. i'm [name].."
"and where is this 'house' located? which nest are we located in right now?"
"that's uh.. wow.."
oh man, this is gonna be harder than you expected. how do you even drop the bomb on them that they're not even in the correct universe anymore? i mean, they've had their fair share of time travel and things like that but universe jumping? another good look at the sinners told you they were treating this like another tuesday given most were looking off into space, some seeming like they had quite a few questions for you. just what were you going to do with them?
