A Lick And A Promise

A Lick and a Promise

A Lick And A Promise

@knot-ee Yuji's head was pounding as he came to, a cracked stone ceiling swimming into view. Where was he? Something beneath him creaked unpleasantly when he rolled onto his side- a thin dirty mattress. He blinked a few times and rubbed at his aching eyes with the heels of his palms before looking up to take in his surroundings properly. He already knew what he'd find before it all came into focus. Another damn jail cell. "Oh come on." The complaint was voiced to no one in particular, except for maybe whatever capricious and mean spirited god oversaw his existence. He sat up, swinging his legs over the side of the cot, and running a hand through his hair-fisting it at the back in frustration. At least they hadn't cuffed him this time- but that also meant whoever brought him in felt pretty surely about the security of his cell. Sure enough- the bars looked just about brand new and the lock on the door appeared equally as up to date. No one was even standing guard, so either they were positive about him staying where he was put or no one much cared if he did or not. Yuji didn't feel like testing which it was. Nothing made a man look guiltier than trying to break himself out of prison.

Heaving a sigh he cast a cursory glance around and was relieved to find a tin cup of water along with a plate of some meager offerings sitting on a rickety stool beside the cot. He eagerly emptied the glass and then allowed his attention to extend beyond the bars to the rest of the immediate area. It was a typical jail- not a prison, thankfully. There was only one other cell beside his- empty and a desk in a far corner beyond that. Yuji recognized from past experience, the settings of an attached sheriff's office. Odd to find it empty, but he didn't mind having a moment or two alone to collect his thought and try to piece together what had happened. A few hazy images crossed his mind- the warm interior of a well kept bar, a few friendly faces turning sour. The barrel of a gun between his eyes. And now it was rushing back all at once. Another bank robbery with his name smeared all over it- and this time it hadn't been clean. Three people wounded and one dead. Never mind that Yuji had been two towns over at the time- it was his face people remembered, clear as anything. Just like last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and- Shit. He really couldn't go anywhere these days. A certain someone had made sure of that. He buried his face in his hands again and wracked his brain for a better excuse than "It wasn't me."

Dash Game: Behind the Mun

Dash Game: Behind The Mun

NAME: Sian

PRONOUNS: Any

MOST ACTIVE MUSES: Satoru Gojo tbh but it's rally a Russian roulette on any given day who I am in the mood for. You tell me

EXPERIENCE: I've been writing online for about twenty years if I'm being honest and up front. I got mmy first real start on Gaia Online and Livejournal, though I was passing rolepalys back and forth in notebooks with friends well before that. I know that dates me, but I think it speaks to my length and variety of experience at least.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: I'll be frank and say I really don't care for fluff at all. If I had to choose one of these three I guess I'd say angst, but my real preference is action adventure with a healthy dose of romance. Think Pirates of the Caribbean or The Mummy. Something dramatic and exciting with a classic love story. ...God that dates me too doesn't it?

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: It really depends on my mood. I love writing long replies, but I am not always capable of them, between my mental and physical health. Ideally I'd be consistently somewhere in the middle, but consistency is not something I can promise in good faith. I'll accept anything from my partner though! Historically I have written both novella style roleplays and short form, script formatted roleplays- so I'm quite flexible. I'm even down for experimental POVs. I'll follow the leads I'm given.

PET PEEVES: My biggest one is when a partner is not vibing with something that we are doing and doesn't tell me about it at all or until well after the fact. It makes me feel guilty for giving them a bad experience while also causing me to doubt my own abilities and tastes. It just feels bad. I guess lack of communication in general is my worst ick. I don't like not knowing things. If I've upset you, tell me. If you're losing interest in what we're doing, or need to change directions, tell me. If you just plain need a break from interacting at all that's totally fine but TELL ME. I get really self conscious and it sucks not knowing if I'm the reason someone is unhappy or a story has stalled. Please just talk to me and we'll work whatever it is out. In return I'll show you the same courtesy.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE: Lord Jesus I hope not LOL. Just kidding, not all my muses are like Mahito and Sukuna, and even in their cases, there are things we share. I think there's a little of everyone I write in me or I wouldn't be able to do what I do, right? If I'm just speaking on the muses I have, I'll put it like this- I have Mahito's cynicism and curiosity, but Yuji's hope, sense of humor, and taste in film. Like Gojo and Sukuna, I feel like there are only a few people who really get me and I get restless when I feel like I don't have someone who can match my energy and interests. I often feel like I can't ever go all out in expressing myself and it's stifling. Like Chouso, I want to be a pillar that my loved ones can lean on and stand behind. Like Uraume, I have people in my life I will turn into an absolutely feral asshole for, and our relationships have the potential to be a huge part of my personality, sometimes in detrimental ways. With Megumi I can self isolate and feel hopeless about my potential for growth, but I keep trying in spite of that. (I also love animals so fucking much.) I often joke with my friends that I'll empathize with a corn chip and it's really true. I feel like I can relate to just about anyone, even if it's not always flattering or healthy. But conversely I do also learn a lot about myself by writing different characters so it's not all bad I guess.

TIME TO WRITE: Errrrrm. Damn that's rough. I work 8-5PM Mon-Fri, EST but I'm not always available outside those hours either depending on how I'm feeling. One of the downsides of writing with me is that I don't keep normal hours because my brain is a bag of cats. The best time to catch me is probably between 6AM-7PM Saturday and Sunday, but there are tiems during the week I'll be available too. Just not as often. That's strictly with regards to RP though. If you want to chat or plot I'm highly responsive on DMs 95% of the time. I have severe ADHD and don't always have regular access to my meds so my energy levels and attention spans fluctuate. I'll always let you know where I am at and what to expect though.

Hopefully all that wasn't severely discouraging! Hit me up if I didn't scare you off.

I'm so sorry that you have to have a body

One that will hurt you, and be the subject of so much of your fear

It will betray you, be used against you, then it'll fail on you my dear

"And you're still short now, so what's your point?" Megumi scoffed mildly without looking up to confirm the assessment of his upper classmate. The older boy was hovering over Megumi's shoulder as he turned the page of their new yearbook to show something less embarrassing. It was true that he'd hit a growth spurt since the beginning of their first semester, but did Toge really need to mention it?

"Don't know why they even bother with these when there's barely a handful of us." The next array of photos reflected the same images on each of their student IDs for the previous year accompanied by brief summaries of their specialties. Nothing new, nothing worth looking at. He shut the book and passed it over his shoulder to Toge, who seemed more interested in it than he was currently. "Knock yourself out."

𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬.

my original batch can be found HERE! i got all kinds of angsty and protective vibes took over, but if u think of any more that you’d like to see on the list, shoot me a DM so i can add it!

“ get behind me… ”

“ stay here. ”

“ don’t worry. everything’s going to be alright… ”

“ you shoot anyone who comes through that door who isn’t me. ”

“ when you love something, you protect it. ”

“ i’ll keep you safe. ”

“ do everything that i say, and we might both live to tell the tale of this night. ”

“ when i say run, i need you to do as i say and don’t even think about me. ”

“ get down! ”

“ close your eyes, you don’t need to see this. ”

“ why wouldn’t i save you? ”

“ it’s alright. they won’t be hurting you again… ”

“ of course i came for you… it would take far much more than that to stop me. ”

“ listen to me… i need to go back out there. but i promise you, i’ll be right back. okay? all i want you to do is stay hidden, and i’ll be back before you know it. ”

“ there’s nothing in this world nor any other, that would stop me from protecting you. ”

“ get out of here! now! ”

“ i knew you’d feel guilty; you do understand that i’d take a thousand wounds if it meant keeping you safe, don’t you? ”

“ i swear to you. as long as i’m by your side, you’ll never be harmed. ”

“ it’s my job to keep you safe, yes, but you could work with me a little to make it easier. ”

“ protecting you isn’t my duty. it’s my privilege. ”

“ who did this to you? where are they? ”

“ listen to me. i don’t think i’ll be able to buy you much time. and once i go out there, the clock starts. so the second you hear us fighting, i want you to run. as fast and as far as you can. ”

“ are you alright? “

“ can you move? “

“ why is it so difficult for you to believe that you deserve to be protected? “

“ you’re a good person. good people deserve to be safe. “

“ i’m going to protect you, now. because that’s what we do for the ones we love. we keep them safe. “

“ stay close. whatever you do, do not leave my side. “

“ i’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. no matter the cost. “

“ i’m on my way. ”

“ it’s alright… it’s okay… i’m here now. i’ve got you. ”

“ it’s all over now. don’t panic. it’s not my blood. ”

“ i don’t know how long i’ll be able to protect you for, but i guarantee you, i’ll only stop with my final breath. ”

❛ you cannot love. ❜ /For Mahito!

❛ You Cannot Love. ❜ /For Mahito!

Mismatched eyes glittered with unmistakable malice, a jarring juxtaposition on an otherwise perfectly pleasant expression. It added a note of cruelty to the benign smile that grew in response to Yuta's accusation. "You don't think so?" Mahito asked, lower lip jutting out in a pout as he tapped his chin in mock consideration. "But you of all people should know better than to say a curse is incapable of love, isn't that right? You and your Queen." His head tipped to the side, gaze tracing over the length of the boy opposite him, sizing him up. A far cry from Junpei or Yuji. Yuta wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated or riled up. There was a steadiness to him that many lacked. And a coldness that Mahito recognized immediately. This one wasn't to be underestimated. He may be possessed of power enough to overwhelm him, but there was a shadow behind his light. Yuta Okkotsu was capable of his own brand of cruelty. No human was truly immune. But that capability wasn't what interested the curse. It was the easiest thing in the world to suss out the darkness in one's heart. But to fully grasp the gravity of love- a love that not only created one of the most powerful curses in existence but then purified it? That was worth examining. And now, thanks to the Manipulator's benevolence, Mahito could do so with relative impunity. Maybe there were some perks to being a kept thing after all. "Is it because of the fear and the hatred that created me? You believe I can't be anything more than what nature crafted?" He took a step closer to Yuta, emboldened by the bond to Suguru Getou that shielded him. Slowly, he circled as much to feed into the sorcerer's discomfort as to take him in. "Well maybe you're right. Maybe I'm doomed to exist forever as I am, rot cycling to rot. Or maybe~" He drew close enough to speak directly into Yuta's ear. "Maybe I just need someone like you to give me a little nudge. Maybe I'm just waiting for the next stage of evolution to push me into traffic and turn me into something great." He withdrew then as easily as he'd encroached, throwing up his arms in careless defeat. "But probably not right? A goldfish can only get so big in a little bowl, and even if you dump it into the river, it's still just going to be a bigger goldfish." With a heavy, theatrical sigh the curse dropped onto one of the chairs in front of an empty desk, kicking his feet up onto it and rocking back on the rear legs. "Are you pointing it out because it bothers you? Or are you just trying to hurt my feelings?"
