❌ CROSS MARK — how would your life be different if Oscha had never been in it? would it be better or worse?
@ Crux
Development Emojis | Accepting
She thinks on it, for a little bit. After all, she wouldn't have a life at all without Oscha. He was the one that gave her life, as far as she knows. There's always been a nagging that there was something more, but it doesn't count in her assessment. Would it be someone else that brought her to life, or would it just mean she wouldn't exist at all? She's unsure... But she tries to work with that insecurity...
"I'm... Not sure..." she chirrups in her usual tongue. "I didn't like working for Chaos, only Makenshi was ever kind to me... But, I wouldn't be alive at all without Oscha. But if it were someone else that brought me life, in some other place and time... I still don't know if it would be better."
"Maybe I would be happier there... But then Makenshi would be alone, and I don't really want that either-" She's torn, keeping her eyes toward the ground. "I don't know what it would be but... There's just so much that wouldn't make sense about that-"

🖤 BLACK HEART — what would you say is the darkest thought you've ever experienced? what do you think caused you to have that thought? have you ever planned on or fantasized about acting on it? @ Yu
Development Emojis - Accepting
"I... Guess I've had a few-" he looks away, arms protectively clutching his shoulders. He doesn't even want to speak the worst one into existence. It feels wrong to say on his mouth. He debates for a moment, on saying something else bad but... He thinks against it. He should be telling the truth, after all...
"My worst thought, is killing some of my classmates- The meaner ones, mostly... I've got a lot of people who talk about me, but I don't mean them. The ones who actually hurt me are the ones I wanna do it to- I think it's pretty easy to tell where it came from though..." How long it's gone on for, after all... That, and some of the worries he's had about his origins, and what he is. There's been a lot on his mind, for this last year...
"I think about what it'd be like if I did it sometimes but... It's not really in depth, at least? Is that okay?"

[ALOUD] Does your character subvocalise (sound out words in their head) when reading silently to themselves, or no? When reading fiction, do they “hear” individual voices for each speaking character? @ kotori
Learning Headcanons | Accepting
Kotori... Doesn't read very often. It's not something that she's all that interested in. But when she does read for one reason or another, she usually reads it in her own voice, but definitely subvocalizes. She does it when speaking Japanese, but it goes double for English because she doesn't read it well. She has different inflections of her own voice when reading, but it's usually just her own voice no matter what.

[FOREIGN] How does your muse fare when presented with ideas, concepts or experiences that feel far outside their usual norm? How hostile, sceptical or inquisitive might they be when encountering new viewpoints? @ Ai
Learning Headcanons | Accepting
With most things, Ai approaches with skepticism. Hostility is usual for when she first learns of something, but it quickly calms once she gets used to it for a moment. But the thing is, experiences outside of the norm have BECOME the norm for her, considering her time in Wonderland. She's seen a lot, and it's hard to present her with something completely out of her scope. She's ready for things to be weird, but either way she's going to come at it carefully, and deal with it as quickly as possible.
This changes when she's left to get to know someone surrounding this new experience. Once it feels safer to learn about it, she can become quite the questioning mind. She's still a child after all, even if she's stubborn. She's not as inquisitive as her brother, but she truly does like to learn!

[MENTAL CHATTER] Does your character have an ongoing inner monologue, or do they more frequently think wordlessly/in abstract?
@ klee
Learning Headcanons - Accepting
Klee is definitely someone who thinks in words, if only for the fact that she's been given a lot of rules to follow, and so many steps in making the bombs that she likes. Either way, words have just served her better throughout her life, so it's easier for her to have a monologue, rather than thinking abstractly.

Thought, learning and intellect headcanon asks for muses
[MENTAL CHATTER] Does your character have an ongoing inner monologue, or do they more frequently think wordlessly/in abstract?
[ENTANGLED] Does your muse experience synaesthesia? (eg. tasting sounds, or seeing colours in music) If yes, does this have any effect on their creativity or understanding of certain senses?
[ALOUD] Does your character subvocalise (sound out words in their head) when reading silently to themselves, or no? When reading fiction, do they “hear” individual voices for each speaking character?
[WPM] How quickly can your character type, read or write?
[MOTHER TONGUE] For bilingual muses: does your character think in one particular language more than another? Are there certain topics or themes that they may be more likely to switch to another?
[FOCUS] How well can your muse focus on their own thinking or study in the presence of distracting background stimuli (loud environments, background chatter, visual clutter…)
[OFF TRACK] Is your muse prone to letting their mind wander? To their detriment?
[INTEREST] Does your muse find it hard to learn about or remember details of subjects that don’t captivate their personal interest? Even if they might be useful or advantageous to know?
[AHAH!] Is your muse good at recognising patterns and putting information together to recognise correlations or solutions quickly? Or do they need others to spell things out to them?
[SEEING RED] How easily is your muse’s judgement or perception swayed by their emotions and state of mind? Are they most always cool and level-headed, or are they prone to rashness or switching stances quickly?
[JUMP THE GUN] What biases does your muse hold that impact how they perceive the world or choose to take in new information? Do their personal blindspots and preconceptions lead them to errors in judgement?
[RECALIBRATE] How frequently does your muse evaluate their own ways of thinking? Have they little self-insight/feel set in their minds for better or worse, or are they constantly questioning their own outlook? To the point of self-doubt, even?
[SPLIT SECOND] How decisive is your muse? How confident do they need to feel about the outcome of their actions, or how much pre-thinking must they do before they feel they can act? Do they trust in their own decisions?
[FOREIGN] How does your muse fare when presented with ideas, concepts or experiences that feel far outside their usual norm? How hostile, sceptical or inquisitive might they be when encountering new viewpoints?
[STUDENT] Does your character enjoy learning for learning’s sake, or do they only seek out knowledge when they specifically need to?
[NOTES] How does your muse track their ideas and thoughts, or things they need to remember? Do they keep written or voice notes, or do they just think/hope that they’ll be able to recall what they need later?
[SELF ANALYSIS] How intelligent does your muse BELIEVE they are, versus how do they actually stack up next to others? What are the personal strengths and weaknesses of their minds and outlooks, compared to those of the people around them?

their team is their family.

@yxllowcoat | cont.
It wasn't very loud, Mono wouldn't be all that surprised that Six wasn't paying attention to it. But he could hear it, was it some kind of talking? Whispering, probably. He's not quite sure why he hears this, and yet he does.
"Um... People, I think... It sounds like talking, we should hide-" He keeps his voice down as he says this, not wanting to alert whoever might be speaking there. But something about it is weird... He's not certain he's sure of what he's hearing, which could be a sign of another problem.

"Oh, right, my name is Cadence," comes a quick reply, realizing she hadn't quite said that part yet. Although she's calm enough, and doesn't seem to worried about acting right for Hope, she does show a degree of awkwardness. She listens to everything, however, and seems to lighten up a good bit more when the doctor doesn't chastise her for her eavesdropping. She was right, after all, it was her condition, she should be allowed to know about it right?
But what truly gets the young one's attention is the floating toy. She's never seen anything like that before, and the way her mesmerized eyes follow the toy's movements prove it. This was proof enough that Hope wasn't just one of the usual doctors, there was something pretty special about her. And that meant, maybe she would be the key to figuring out her condition, and how she could be a normal kid.
"Woah... I didn't know you were magic..." she states in awe, even if she's trying to look at Hope for real now. "I'm glad you're here then, maybe somebody with stuff like that would help more-" It was ironic, really, that someone named Hope would be able to fill Cadence with so much of it. Of course, she doesn't think of that, instead just relishing in that excitement for the future.
But then, comes a question. "So, what're we gonna do first?" Although she's not certain that she's up for a lot, she's at least willing to try. And with all of that in mind, they could always try again on a better day for her.
"A pleasure to meet you as well, dear." She'd come by pretty casually dressed today; having left her usual coats at home. She'd always found appearing less serious with kids made things easier after all. "Might I know what you'd like me to call you? If you don't want to tell me yet, that's okay."
Hope can't help a small chuckle at the sheepish admittance of Cadence overhearing conversations between her parents and other doctors. "Weeeeell-" She crouches down next to the bed, not invading the child's space if she can help it- "There's a pretty big difference between adult conversations and knowing about your own health, if ya ask me. It's your body, you have just as much right to know what's going on with it as your folks do. I doubt they'd be upset about you wanting to know that stuff."
"Speaking of; I'm sure we can figure out what's going on here with some time. I'm a bit of a special doctor you could say." To prove her point, the aetherling fishes her tangle toy out of her pocket, letting it float and move above her hand. "I handle super special mystery cases like yours. One we can solve together, if you're willing to work with me to find an answer."

"I can see the resemblance," she notes, her eyes and fingers finally leaving the soul to look directly at Fir. The legs too... They may not be perfect, but it's impressive that she seems like she's walking well enough now. She doesn't go into a diatribe about how she should get those replaced, like she has a mind to. She's sure she's heard it enough after all, instead just nodding along. "Well, it doesn't seem like too big of a problem for you at least?" If it ended up being so however, maybe then she'd turn around and try to get her to fix those prosthetics.
She perks up a bit at the idea of Fir calling this place home. It isn't the best place to be, Kotori would be the first to tell someone that much. But alongside someone who seems like they could get through this, she wouldn't stop her. It's nice to have a friend at any point, especially one that wouldn't be bothered with the whole spirit thing. "Well, I for one am glad that this is your home, or a home anyway. Hope we're making you feel welcome enough." And there comes a genuine sort of smile, somehow not even noticing it. Outside of the other girls, it was hard to make friends. She'd usually tried to come off pricklier than she was, for reasons even she didn't remember.
"If you don't know much of yourself, I get that too..." Her face falls then, though not due to anything Fir had said. She just looks neutral, wistful if anything. "The curse I have means most of my past is gone... I get little snippets sometimes, bits of memory come back. But outside of stuff with Yuzu I don't have much. Then again I don't really know if I want to remember, my only tie to back then is gone. But then, who knows, maybe we'll both know more about each other than either of us know?" She returns back to her more lighthearted tone there, not wanting to scare Fir off too much.
"But nevermind all that stuff- We were talking about amazing sights, yeah? You should come around earlier in the night sometimes, so I'd have more time to show you... Most of the spirits are kinda ugly, sure, but there's actually some pretty sights to find around here, if you know where to look." Some things may be deadly, but there's beauty in that too. Even the spirit forest itself is beautiful, if looked at with the right eyes. Maybe they could make such a thing work, if they planned it out right anyway.
"Oh, go ahead and laugh, it is kinda silly. Souls are the culmination of who we are. Since I'm usually pretty silly and hyper, so's my soul, even if it's on the outside instead of inside my me." The stifled chuckle gets a grin from the noirette, the expression only widening as Kotori reaches out to touch the soul's flames. Sure, it was a touch she herself could feel all through her as well, but that was a sensation she had long since gotten used to. Purple flames warmly flicker about her fingers, choosing to zip about once the hand is taken away, though not straying too far. "I thought it was pretty too when I first learned to manifest it on my own. Still pretty amazing nowadays too, even moreso here in you guys' world."
Kotori's double take at her mentioning her legs gets Fir to properly laugh. "Haha, yeah; that one's a new trick I learned recently."
The teen leans back a little, moving her boot just enough so her legs are a little more visible. Sure enough, there's a subtle glow coming from under the fabric. "A former-foe-now-friend of mine who's been around since I was really little said I got into an accident and ended up losing my legs. And I mean... they aren't there, so I can believe that. Used to have wooden prosthetics that were kinda enchanted to move. But ah, those broke recently and I couldn't fix them anymore. Haven't found new ones that feel right so I just tried using my magic and it's been working out for now." A little shrug is given. "Ain't perfect, but it does the job."
That grin becomes a proper smile as she calls her soul back over and holds it in her hands. If only she knew just how to express how much of a mystery she really was. Not even Fir herself knew too much about who she was; if anything she was just as lost as Kotori on that. "Well, lemme know what ya end up finding out then. Maybe you'll know more 'bout me than even I do. At the very least, I'm definitely not about to go anywhere else for long. I still got work I gotta do, but I'm planning to always come back home to you guys, that's for sure." A small pause follows. "...Home... That came out easier than I thought it would, heh..."

"Tori..." Y263U17997 - yui - mumbles, sitting on an overturned file cabinet. red optics flicker in a blink. "do you think they'll ever come back and let us out of here..?"
The drone ponders how to answer that, for some time. It was not that she didn't know the answer, obviously it wasn't to be. They were infected, even if some were not quite slaves to the virus in the traditional sense. The others seemed to live in fear, or maybe they had just forgotten. It was all the same to Kotori. The only reason she felt that she had survived was that she could pick up the scraps others left behind.
If the others up there hadn't batted an eye when the quarantined started to turn on each other, then there was no chance that they were coming back. Maybe they wanted the lot of them to finish what they didn't complete, or maybe they weren't watching at all. Either way, they were doomed.
She wouldn't tell Yui that, however. That it felt dismal and bleak and that she waited with baited breath for the day her system would stop taking it at all. Instead, her optics remain soft, trying to comfort the other. If anyone deserved to make it out of here after all, it was Yui. "I'm not sure..." she instead replies. "I guess it depends on how long it is until they can figure out how to fix the things in our code-" If they were working on it at all, which she sorely doubts.
It's days like these where Kotori wishes that the humans were still around. They may have been callous and unyielding, but it was better than the waiting, than the unending quiet.

1 - The impression left by Yui's response is enough to keep her not paying attention for a moment. She's brought back into the moment now that Yui has a grip on her, keeping her in one spot. It was careless, certainly, she'd need to work on not getting distracted by things like this in the future... For now though, she can't just let herself be caught like this.
It would be easy just to struggle against these binds, but it wouldn't be the greatest idea to keep taking the pressure from it. So instead, she starts to grab at things a bit larger and harder to ignore. Roots begin to grow from below now, as if a device of homing. If Yui was going to start off from the bottom, then she might as well fight fire with fire. The only tell of the process would be the rumbling of the ground below, as the roots spread.
She doesn't aim to harm too badly here, instead just trying to knock the other off her feet, enough that she could get free and keep up the pressure.
16 = yui uproots her tendrils, spectral arm splitting into multiple lengthy tentacles. red eyes glitter with malice; a single glance at the ivy, and they're starting to sizzle as well. fireworks.
inhale. exhale. yui grits her teeth, rolling to the side. her balance is still good - the corrosion on her arm does not weigh anything when she does not want it to. yui shifts her feet, moving back and then lashing forward.
sharpen them. yui keeps her claws dull. her dark arm whips forward, multiple little tendrils aiming to snare kotori and secure her in place.
