She didn’t believe in ghosts. She didn’t believe in the impossible either, for that matter. Of course, the latter continued to prove itself. After everything that happened in the academy, she supposed that the impossible was possible. Maki was positive that a certain astronaut meant those words in reference to overcoming seemingly impossible tasks. He had kept freaking out about Monokuma’s alleged resurrection ritual too. She was certain he wasn’t thinking about something like this.

As the Ultimate Assassin, she knew death better than most. A fact she still detested, but elected to ignore for the time. Moreover, she knew there was no logical reason for the other girl to be alive. No one could have survived trauma to that level, yet... She was alive and breathing.

“...Akamatsu?”

They hadn’t gotten along, before the pianist’s death. As far as Maki knew, the other girl didn’t know about her true talent. Let alone any of the other things. But moreover, they hadn’t particularly gotten along, had they? Maki was quick to criticism her. Her positivity and her determination. It was completely different from her view of the worlds. Of course, things had changed. Maki had changed. She hadn’t quite decided how to feel about seeing Kaede, but... she supposed she could try.

“You’re... uhm...” Alive.

An awkward pause.

No one had died yet, but this was a Killing Game. It was only a matter of time, and once something happened, everything would fall apart. Maki’s real Ultimate Talent would be revealed eventually, and when it was, things would go from bad to worse. For now, it was best to keep to herself, laying low, keeping the spotlight away from herself. Thankfully, with such big personalities, it didn’t seem like that would be too difficult.

Like Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Pianist. Bubbly, cheerful, and unyielding in her attempts to rally everyone to her cause. It had to be some kind of act, or a coping mechanism. No one, not even someone with a charmed life, could really be that happy, could they? And yet, Maki couldn’t see any signs of deception or trickery on Kaede’s face as she approached the table where the dark-haired girl was eating her breakfast. She seemed... genuine.

Magic ‎AU

Wind based elemental magic was the young mage’s specialty, having grown to be pretty skillful at it since he often studies spells from his tome and practices mastering them. Though of course he had to make sure not to abuse his magic, as casting especially strong spells could drain his energy considerably: literally passing out, at the worst.

Though sometimes Shuichi spent a bit too long studying spells and books, currently having done so for nearly 4 hours now without a break. So only when Kaede grabs his attention, does he finally look up from his book. 

“Oh, Akamatsu-san. Sorry, were you trying to get my attention? I was real focused on studying, as you saw, eheheh... how are you?” 

🐎 There’s a horse loose in the hospital 🐎 || ACCEPTING@pianistxt​

Ouma’s features twitched as if about to slide right into a blank slate - only to twist once more and morph into his default smile.

“ You don’t know a thing about me, do you? If Akamatsu-chan knew me, she’d know that a choice like this is worthless to someone like me! ”, he countered and puffed out his chest, spreading his arms in an exuberant gesture,“ If you think the rules of my game are the same as yours, you got it all wrong. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want! For a liar like me, there’s no reason to choose. I just don’t gotta.”

As he lowered his arms and brought a finger to his lips, a mysterious spark shone in his eyes.

“ But… I wonder, is that a lie? Or do you just want it to be a lie, Akamatsu-chan? ”

Pre-established Relationships!! – Accepting!!

💛send to have a platonic ship with my muse.💕send to have a family type relationship with my muse.

Right now, it was just the two sisters in the house. Sometimes Kayo would be doing whatever while hearing Kaede playing the piano. But it never bothered her, of course: sometimes it felt nice to have essentially background music playing in the house.

And today she believes her sister was going to be playing a new song, which Kayo wanted to hear as well. So sitting next to her on the piano bench, she asks: “You said you wanted too practice a new song, right, Kaede? What’s it called?”

{ Detailed Action }

He normally would try to power through a school day trying to seem fine enough, even if he wasn’t: but today, Shuichi was so much quieter and was pretty much laying his head down and not talking to anyone for most of the day.

“Ah...” When Kaede held him close, he didn’t push her away. Instead he sighs and just leans his head against her. Usually he’d be too shy to do so: but right now, a comforting gesture was truly what he needed right now.

“Sorry....  I know I must have made you worried all day. I’ll... I’ll be fine. This week has just been... really rough on me, is all. So you can go home, don’t let me keep you... but thank you for your concern, either way.”
