STARTER CALL. // @nulltune

"I'm sorry... I didn't realise you meant it."

There's a hesitancy about Freminet's words as fingers curl around Pers, clutching the small penguin tight as he rocks on his heels outside The House of the Hearth. His gaze remains on the floor rather than meeting Hakuno's own, feeling guilty that he hadn't realised her interest in the sea was genuine.

"I can... take you down some time if you really do want to explore..." he offers, glancing up between the strands of his fringe, before averting his gaze once more. It's hard to know how to proceed when he missed the mark, but he's doing his best. It's hard to gauge if she's angry with him for not taking her seriously, he wouldn't blame her at all.

when i see cute art of hakuno with scathach so i check out the scathach bond lines from extella link to find out more but 💀 GOSH I AM JUST REMINDED OF HOW MUCH TERRIBLE THE HAKUNO CHARACTERISATION IN EXTELLA 😭😭

AND PLS WHY ARE THESE BOND LINES WRITTEN SO BAD .... bond level 1-1 has scathach asking hakuno to find someone to kill her; bond level 4-2 has hakuno saying she doesn't want to do that, which is indeed in character for hakuno but you're telling me she took That long to say that?? hakuno, who is averse to killing and values each and every life?? girl that should've been the IMMEDIATE hakuno response 😭😭

i was malding the entire time too bc hello- immortal who wants to find a way to die & an artificial life that just wants to live?? THAT ALONE COULD MAKE FOR SUCH AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC SMH SMH..!!! we could've gotten interesting perspectives abt life and death from two people with vastly different life experiences and some rlly interactions from that too but nooooo

this might be obvious already but i feel like canon hakuno is written as a sort of balance between having a character of her own (she obviously has a solid characterization and personality) but also a self insert (a lot of things about her are left blank/vague for the "player's decision")

having that self insert aspect really hurts hakuno's character imo (how are you going to make a character's theme all about identity and trying to find herself.... and then try to make her a self insert 🗿) so i try to fill it with my own interpretion- which is why my hakuno's headcanon-based! (ゝω・´★) i'm trying to write her in a way that fits with my understanding of her character 🫡 but yeah this is just a disclaimer that there maay be some differing opinions on how something is read but this is just my take !

and also i actually think it's sooo neat how dynamic(?) hakuno's character is... like there are so many directions you could take her development and how her experiences shape her character GDKCSHNC I JUST LOVE HAKUNO KISHINAMI A LOT. i wish there were more hakuno writers honestly 🤧💖 anyone who has a liking to hakuno's character gets a brownie point from me uwu👍

hello hello hello, this is mellu with a multi-muse blog with muses from a whole variety of fandoms (type-moon, umineko, mythos, etc.) & with even more verses to match. my activity may be sporadic due to being on that nurse life, but don't let that stop you from reaching out & rping with me <3

you can check out this blog's carrd for all the info. don't hesitate to reach out if a muse seems interesting, but doesn't have a fitting verse - we can hash that out and get a starter out!

relief should be what follows the aftermath of a battle but there's a gasp  ——  and the mere sight of that crimson liquid has soft voice trembling,  concern tinging delicate features.  she is at his side in an instant,  doe eyes widening a fraction.       ❛   you're bleeding ...   ❜       it's pointless to state the obvious,  but the thought doesn't cross her mind,  focused on the other's injury.  it's a minor injury,  most likely not hitting anything vital  ...  if anything,  it was fortunate that this was all the damage he'd taken throughout the fight.  but ...  but—

the change is easy to notice,  a solemn look on what is typically a stoic countenance.  narrowed eyes fixated on his wounded leg.  if she were more competent,  then surely this wouldn't have ...

❛   are you able to walk ?   ❜       it's no time to be stuck on hypotheticals  /  moping like that.  she ought to think of what she could do to help.       ❛   starfell lake is not too far from here ...  we could stop by,  at least clean the wound ...   ❜       it's a much preferrable outcome to him having to return home injured.  it wasn't like he was in a state that warranted such worries,  but ...  just seeing him wince from the pain was ...  so terrible.  expecting a refusal from the stubborn man,  hakuno lowers herself  —  bowing in an earnest plead  —  before he could get a word in.       ❛   please !   ❜       ( the rabbit plush,  still in her hands,  is also positioned to have its head held down to bow along with her. )

Her assessment is not unheard, his lips curving into a knowing smile beneath the hood of his disguise, amused at her quick assessment, but more so by the idea of her frowning at his injuries. It is endearing; the care offered, the advice given, the emotions felt. He’s used to being along in this work, for it to be thankless and gruelling bar the odd comment offered by those who suspect his activities.

“I will bear it in mind. If you do not wish to leave, then at least step clear… ” he returns, steeling his gaze and swinging his greatsword. A fierce swing of the blade brings it forth, the sheer power in the blow sweeping a hilichurl from its feet before he breaks into a sprint to tackle the crowd before him. It is almost a dance; the agile movements and strong swipes of his blade, dancing flames flickering around both him and the weapon until a burst of the phoenix is sent forth to clear the ground. He does not relent, a bastion of endurance until every enemy is defeated or dispersed, even after standing firm, chest heaving as he cleans his blade on the grass.

“That should deal with them for the day…” Satisfied, he steps forward, turning back towards her, then staggers, catching himself upon his greatsword. There’s a furrow of his brow behind his mask as he attempts to discern just what the issue is, then his free hand reaches down to the throb of pain on his leg, fingers of his glove stained crimson. A loose arrow, could be worse.

❛   ?   ❜       was it not obvious already.

— sprawled on the floor,  she lays perfectly still.  truly just like a corpse in a crime scene.       ❛   there is only one bed,  so you can have it.   ❜       and to explain that,  just in case he would further inquire:       ❛   you understand,  don't you, ruler ?   to lay in bed with someone you do not love is ...  unpleasant.   ❜       it's not like she knows from experience  /  knows what love is,  but still ...

❛   ... no wanna.   ❜      

@nulltune replied ; ONLY ONE BED TROPE MY BELOVED- but hakuno's ass wld insist on her sleepin on da floor 💀💀 / from x

❝ WAIT ONE MOMENT. WHY are you sprawled on the floor- ❞

it looked like a crime scene. Yet by simple observational skills, he could deduce that such was not the case. Perhaps it was precisely because of this initial shock that shot two different impressions which led him to blurt out the very first thing that came to his mind despite his rather usual eloquent manner of speech.

❝ Master. Explain yourself. ❞

a second later and it might've been too late !   spotting the master amidst the crowd surge,  a dainty,  porcelain hands reach out to grab tokiwa's raised ones  ——  and pull her out before she could've been further swept away.  bringing her a good distance away from the still moving wave of people  ( was that a scream she heard ? ) ,   doe eyes give the other a quick look - over.

❛   are you okay ?   ❜       the visual evaluation seemed to show nothing out of the ordinary,  but it was best to confirm.  it's not like she wasn't without her questions too.       ❛    is there a special today,  or something ?   everyone seems very ...   energetic.   ❜      

“Whoa! Incoming!”

So many people! It was overwhelming to say the least as she raised her hands above her face. “Too many, help!” And this is what she gets for opening her mouth

@nulltune​

In the house of Daena, a young Alhaitham watches, from the corner of his eye, a young Hakuno sitting in the seat beside him. He wonders why someone would choose to sit so close to others, especially when there are plenty of other seats available. Of course, he ends up putting away his book and shifting over by one chair. After all, the last thing one needs on the first day of school is to contract a serious case of cooties. (Young Alhaitham to Young Hakuno 💕)

unprompted,  always accepting !   @basbousah  ♡

the first day of school is a daunting day for a child !   and while the young kishinami hakuno was still stuck on finding the perfect greeting to make for a decent first impression,  it seemed that the other children were several steps faster ...

there were small groups already,  each having the cheerful buzz of a lively conversation  —  it looks fun,  she thinks,  being able to talk to each other so happily like that ...  definitely not something she could do.  with just a glance,  and without a word,  the girl got the feeling that there was no space for her there  /  here  /  anywhere.      

so it might have been natural for her attention to be drawn to the other loner in the classroom.  a boy with silver hair and seafoam eyes, focused on the book in his hands.  with the intent to strike up conversation  ( once she found the right words ...  and the perfect timing ... )  hakuno decides to occupy the seat next to him.  there's a small sound as she does,  coming as a result of her weight upon what must've been a wobbly chair leg.

❛   ... eep.   ❜       small hands hastily cover her mouth after that little squeak,  caramel eyes surreptitiously peering at the other.  had he heard that .. ?   ohh,  it hasn't even been a minute and they've already started off on the wrong foot .. !  ( and it was quite literally,  in her case ! )

he'd shifted his seat  ——  ah.  could it be ?   he'd noticed,  but instead of saying anything that might've made her uncomfortable,  moved in order to give her his seat ... ?

mumbling out a thank you,  she settles into the empty space with a bit more energy to her,  invigorated by what she'd perceived as kindness and a possibility for a friendship.  he's back to burying his nose into the book,  but this was more like an opportunity for her to take out a sheet of paper from her bag.  a few minutes of careful folding,  cutting,  crafting,  and—

❛   here.   ❜       —a bunny corner bookmark is placed on his desk.

❛   for you,  your book.   ❜       it's best to make her intentions clear,  right ... ??

❛   so you don't ..  lose track of your page ...   ❜      

❛   that's an interesting dream.   ❜       she can't really imagine it,  more accustomed to empty dreams and nightmares,  but it does sound nice.       ❛   though,  i don't know why,  but i find it easier to imagine you and your brothers as cats ...  tsukinya ...   ❜       kishinami hakuno says this so casually,  still the same stoic look on her face.

❛   you would be a small white cat,  that people would like to keep in their purse and feed little treats.   ❜  

" i once dreamt that me and my brothers were animals. i was a bird. i think i was some kind of little dove. it was so fun getting to dream about flying. "

@nulltune / sc.

❛   ... i'm glad.   ❜       the tender tone in her voice surprises even herself when she speaks,  words uttered with a breath of relief.       ❛   there really is no need to thank me,  though. i was only saying the obvious.   ❜       and that was the defining difference between them.  for all their similarities,  he is undoubtedly human  —   a person, deserving of love and care  /  she is different,  and it isn't a topic worth speaking  /  so ...  she really is glad that he knows that. 

kishinami hakuno doesn't have too many friends either.  there were people she spoke with,  spent time with,  but could never really connect with.  that was her fault,  not theirs  /  because she is different,  and there would always be a clear separation between her,  and everyone else.  ( where does nakajima fit in ?  ... she hasn't really thought about it,  but the idea of having a meal with him didn't bring the daunting feeling that it came with another. )

❛   if you're being paid well,  then please treat yourself well too.  nutritionally - balanced meals,  not just chocolate.   ❜       it's a belated gentle scolding,  for his own good.       ❛   ah,  but please,  allow me .. !   it'll be my treat.   ❜       it doesn't feel right having him pay,  especially since she seemed to be the older one here,  albeit just a year or two.  though,  her salary is definitely the smaller one here ...  ah,  well.       ❛   i have a place in mind already,  not too far from here.   ❜   

there's something so kind in those doe eyes that he can see , having been trained to notice even the smallest changes in the countenance of others . the tiger almost completely softens in the presence of someone who saw him as human without any reason to do so , kindness for the sake of kindness . only dazai - san did that for him , tried to help him up from the grave dug by the orphanage director , tried to protect him . oh , she must be an angel ; how lucky for a devil like him to cross paths with the divine ! ❝ i do now . thank you . ❞ friends were also a brand new concept for the tiger , too . not to say he didn't have people he worked with that were less than hostile with him , but he didn't know what exactly to call them . he really only had kyouka - chan , a younger coworker who worked with the assassins group that were trained and bred for violence under the ozaki's name rather than directly underneath dazai - san . still , he tries to straighten up and not get lost in thought . ❝ well , anywhere is okay . . . ! dazai - san pays me well . so all of yokohama is the limit . ❞

the way she is so consistently bad at understanding herself (lol) (affectionate🫶) but i love these lil lines a lot...... even though hakuno struggles to contextualize her feelings properly, she does have them and cares a lot more than she realizes 🥹 !!!!! and i am a big fan of hakuno coming to understand the heaviness of feelings that come from small actions like these 👍

❛   — you didn't.   ❜       she affirms it easily,  almost as if snapping out of that silent,  solemn trance she'd been in  —  drawn out of her head when realizing that such a display would only bring about trouble for others.       ❛   please don't worry,  you didn't say anything wrong either.   ❜       really,  why was she getting so worked up anyway ?   she knew already ...       ❛   it was just an observation.   ❜      

just how lacking of a person she is.

so,  i'm sorry.  she really shouldn't have reacted that way ...   the words are ready to be spoken,  lips parting to do just that,  to dismiss this mess she's made,  but they never come. 

the hand he takes stiffens for a second,  unfamiliar with physical contact,  but soon relaxes with the understanding that there was no malicious intent behind this action.  it was the opposite,  really ...   she's silent then,  taken aback,  only able to stare aimlessly at the ground with a slightly lowered head.  does he realize what he was doing ?   what he was saying ?

❛   i  ...   ❜       voice comes out slack,  and somewhat airy;  still struggling to process this situation.       ❛   really am not expressive,  at all,  you know ?   that's a little funny to say ...  i wouldn't say i'm gloomy,  though ...   ❜       well,  she tries not to be ...  but she should've known she'd eventually slip like this,  given her track record of inadequacy.  caster's reaction is completely unexpected,  however.  not because she thought of him as the cruel sort or anything,  but because surely no one could accept the unpleasant,  unsightly kishinami hakuno. and they shouldn't.      ❛   i'm a lot to deal with,  huh ?   i ought to thank you for putting up with me all the time ...   ❜      

the words are vaguely self - deprecating,  but there's a sense of lightness to it,  a faint tinge of relief in her voice. 

it's just slightly,  but—  something has been eased.

        “Hey . . . I didn’t necessarily mean anything by it.” For a brief instant, the Caster felt conflicted between an unexpected urge to comfort and the unspoken need to keep the aloof demeanor she knew him better by. What was the big deal? Stoic. She was always stoic, that much he teased Hakuno again and again for . . . this wasn’t anything different ( he thought — ) but this was . . . unnerving?

        Maybe it was the time they spent together as well — maybe that’s what allowed him to pick up on the smaller details he might have missed before. As blank and motionless as her face could be, there was no doubt in his mind that she was panicking in her own way.

        “Hey. Hey — listen to me for a second.” Cú takes her hand ( that part of him won out, it seems ) gently prying it away from her cheek before she gets the idea to force a smile like he’s seen her do before. “You’re overthinking it. I don’t need to see you smile to know when you enjoy messing with me or when you’re happy to get your damn sweets.”

        He huffs, half-heartedly exasperated and unwilling to let her hand go until he’s certain she won’t start poking and prodding herself again. “You’re expressive enough as it is, so quit with the gloominess will you?”

YOU.
