week 5 | message for mary
Apr. 11th, 2018 04:08 pm[ If Mary and Lenka ever peek into the copy of Water Margin he gave them, they will find a message written on the title page. ]
Mary,
I might forget you. They might forget me. I might forget myself.
But so long as the stars shine in Heaven, I will always love you.
- Chapter 60

week 5 | letter to eleanor
Apr. 10th, 2018 08:09 pmWeight is in the
stare you Affix to
the Ink of my flesh
Travelling south
where Flowers bloom.
pressure lies On the
sharp and cleft of
our bones as we
Rest and break
into symphonies.
scars do not Mar
your skin;
Enamel does.

week 5 | velvet & mary
Apr. 10th, 2018 05:40 am
[THEY ARE DOING THIS AT MCDONALD'S.
He is a rich bitch so he's treating everyone.]
Okay, first things first!
Velvet, this is Mary. She's a painting! Mary, this is Velvet. She's a vampire!
Be nice to each other!
week 5 | magnus & taako (monday)
Apr. 10th, 2018 05:06 am[At the ice cream parlor:]
Alright, I'll say it first.
Taako, Magnus is right. The bigger guy always wins, except when the bigger guy isn't him. Then he wins. The little guy doesn't stand a chance here. The little guy's got nobody now.
But.
If Monika was friends with both the big guy and the little guy, it kinda makes sense for 'em to team up, doncha think?

Apr. 9th, 2018 09:50 am[He appears next to the Aragami in a zap.]
Hey, Lenka. You'll protect her, won't you?

week 4 | izaya (post-trial)
Apr. 9th, 2018 12:39 amIs Monika gonna make it?
[ He knows she isn't. He's just asking because he cares.
He has so little to give, now. ]

week 4 | caren (post-trial)
Apr. 8th, 2018 04:29 pm[ They are quiet for a long time, but even silence will not repair what is already lost. ]
You know, if I knew this would happen, I would've killed Velvet for you.

week 4 | caren (post-investigation)
Apr. 7th, 2018 03:52 pm[ Assassin has a fondness for rhythm, and poetry is merely words without a tune. ]
May I look up when I die!
[ he begins, weakly. ]
May not this small chin become smaller still!
[ He recites it to the sky. ]
Yes, I am blamed for what I have
not felt, an invocation to death, I believe.
[ These are not Chuuya's words, but they might as well be his legacy. ]
Ah, if only I look up!
Then, at least, I might be as one who feels everything.
[ There is silence as everything begins to crawl under his skin, like crabs seeking refuge from the ocean. But unlike the ocean, pain does not erase the scars Chuuya's drawn in his core. ]
Did he ever tell you he was named after a poet? I guess we weren't all that different.

week 4 | setz (post-investigation)
Apr. 7th, 2018 03:21 pm[ While Setz keeps to himself, he will eventually find Assassin in the streets, murmuring something with somber cadence and sorrow. When Setz approaches, he might hear the words: ]
On and on, always on and on
Away from you, parted by a life-parting.
Going from one another ten thousand li,
Each in a different corner of the World.
The way between is difficult and long,
Face to face how shall we meet again?
The Tartar horse prefers the North wind,
The bird from Yüeh nests on the Southern branch.
Since we parted the time is already long,
Daily my clothes hang looser round my waist.
Floating clouds obscure the white sun,
The wandering one has quite forgotten home.
Thinking of you has made me suddenly old,
The months and years swiftly draw to their close.
I’ll put you out of my mind and forget for ever
And try with all my might to eat and thrive.
[ It's hard to tell if he's smiling. ]
But I don't think he'd appreciate being forgotten. Will he, Setz?

week 4 | makoto (post-mission)
Apr. 6th, 2018 02:10 pm[ Some time after that incident in the bookstore, Assassin follows Makoto to check on her. Hands in his pockets, he keeps his distance. If she's still not in the best of moods, approaching her head on isn't a good idea.
But this... probably looks like stalking. ]

week 4 | tuesday
Apr. 4th, 2018 08:58 am[ Sometime after their meeting at the bookshop, Assassin approaches Izaya in private. He does him a service by giving him footsteps to pick up on. ]
Hey, can I tell you something? Promise you won't freak out.

week 4 | tuesday
Apr. 3rd, 2018 06:14 pm[ Somewhere near the karaoke box, Assassin suddenly appears in front of Yang in a flash of light. ]
Yo!
[ He knows this is totally safe for him to do, but is it for Yang? ]

week 3 | caren (sunday)
Apr. 1st, 2018 11:05 amFor the record, I really don't think it's Yang.
[ Like, maybe the Reaper who started the fire two weeks ago Chiyo or Velvet, but he's not about throw accusations in the air just because he's a little thirsty. ]
Buuuuut it doesn't hurt to get a little practice in before the real thing. What do we need to frame her, Caren?
