➜ “i'm not twelve; you can't bribe me anymore. well, you can, but you have to adjust for lifestyle and inflation.”
if there is anyone who refuses to take @world-slasher seriously, it is shoko. she has a long list of reasons why, and they all circle back to the same conclusion: he is too much in every direction, and far too pleased with himself. she finds none of it remotely impressive. not even a little.
that is to say his grand attempts at intimidation fail the moment she looks at him.
“aaah??. . . you're so full of shit, itadori.” shoko snorts, rolling a fizzy lolly around on her tongue. the taste of cherry cola permeates her senses ( ... ) pleasant, but alas, not nearly enough to replace the ashy bite of nicotine. she's been trying ( and failing ) to quit smoking cold turkey for the past two weeks. it is a recurring pattern, one that constantly drifts back into her conscience every so often and that - unfortunately - never quite settles.
she crumples the wrinkled wrapper, then flicks it at his face. it lands perfectly.
“what the hell are you talkin' about?”
