takumi keenly observed harmony's phenomenal & determined expression, recognizing that despite hints of fear, a far more powerful player nestled itself deep in her characters - that is excitement for a cause. he respected her determination & the fact she'd blindly chosen to step out of her comfort zone in pursuit of passion.
a sly, cunning smile slipped on Takumi's face as he heard Harmony's resolute response. ❝ great, ❞ he replied, his boyish voice carried a symbol of approval. ❝ trust me, you won't regret not looking back. ❞
no further ado, our investigator leaned back in his chair, reaching into a drawer in order to pull out a worn leather-bound book. its rather ancient cover met the table, placed it just between them, its pages filled with neat handwritten notes & sketches of various supernatural phenomena previously recorded in prior expeditions.
❝ right, as an aspiring candidate, it's time to put your knowledge & instincts to the test, ❞ he declared, taking a moment to emphasize by tapping on the book's cover with his finger. ❝ this is a collection of case files from our previous gigs. i want you to study these carefully & choose one that intrigues you the most. ❞
he slid the book toward harmony, allowing her to peruse its obscure contents. the cases ranged to haunted uninhabited houses to unexplained phenomena in remote locations. each entry detailed carefully each encounter, followed by reasonably okay to mediocre evidence, & theories surrounding the paranormal occurrences.
❝ once you've picked a gig, i want you to conduct your own research in order to come up with a plan for the investigation, ❞ takumi continued. ❝ show me your findings, including your ideas, what equipment we might need, & proposed strategies to get some actual footage ❞
silver tinted eyes met harmony's, his gaze reflected a mix of anticipation alongside scrutiny. ❝ before you ask, yes. we are going to revisit one of those cases so we can try your ideas, & hopefully catch some actual footage for the channel. ❞
Harmony listens to Takumi's explanation, nodding her head in agreement every now and then. She would be lying if she said she was not afraid. She is a fan of Takumi and his team and watched their live streams, so she has an idea of what it may be like. There were some extreme encounters that made her hug her pillow tight to her chest and silently pray for everyone to get out okay.
This time, Harmony will not be in the safety of her home. She isn't sure how she would react when facing an entity far more powerful than her. Still, Harmony wants to be part of the team, that is if Takumi and the others would be okay with that. While assistant investigator is the title she favors the most, she would be just as happy with any position if it means she can be helpful to everyone.
She doesn't speak until Takumi asks one more time. Is she ready? Harmony thought of it before giving her final answer. She knows. She knows there will be horrors ahead of them, but Harmony is willing to take those chances.
"Yes." Harmony answers with a nod. "I'm ready for it."

takumi's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as he pressed on with such promising addition, ❝ that being said, i believe in giving everyone a fair chance. If you really wanna join my crew, you must one hundred percent prepared to face a series of obstacles that will assess your skills, dedication, & ability to handle the supernatural. ❞
he momentarily paused, studied Harmony's reaction. seeing the flicker of determination in her eyes, he nodded in approval. ❝ alright. if you're up for the challenge, we'll begin with some basic investigations to test your observational skills & your ability to handle high-pressure situations. from there, we'll delve into more hardcore tasks based on your demonstrated experience. ❞
takumi's voice carried a splinter of excitement as he favourably outlined the path ahead. ❝ as a potential member of my crew, you'll have the chance to flash your skills as an assistant investigator, technical assistant, analyst, or whatever you're good at, really. ❞
he playfully leaned forward whilst lounging on the chair, his tone carried a fairly serious warning to it. ❝ but let me tell you, harmony. this is not some joke in where you can act all blase about it. it requires dedication, resilience, & some good acting, because i need you to bring in some revenue. are you truly ready to take on the challenges that are waiting for us? ❞
takumi awaited her response, eager to see if harmony had the actual resolve to face what horrors remained buried & prove herself worthy of joining his esteemed crew.

Continued from here: Link
She can hear her heart race in the seconds leading to Takumi's reply. Harmony braces herself for possible rejection. There was always that chance to be accepted but she always had those terrible doubts that haunt her. Perhaps Harmony should explain her reasoning? It isn't for fame or money. Yes, those are nice to have, but it's not really her desire. She enjoys seeing Takumi and his team, always has an interest in the paranormal, and she also has a soft spot for the souls who are trapped. Maybe she should tell him what she can do for them.
She thought about being an assistant investigator, technical assistant, analyst, or even a field medic with her knowledge in her training for nursing. Harmony will do anything to join!
Then, Takumi gives his answer.
"I appreciate the sentiment."
Her heart sinks ever so slightly. The light of hope in her eyes dims from those words. It sounds like he may reject the offer, but then he adds the condition of tests.
Tests? So, that's not a yes, but not a no either. So, there is a chance! That made the woman hesitate a bit, but she is never one to back down. This could be her only chance, after all! Finally, she nods, wanting to give it her very best.
"Okay, what kind of tests?"

takumi paused, his gaze darted between minako & the path to freedom. his often charismatic demeanour wavered for a slither of a moment whilst selfishness wrestled with a faint flicker of guilt. he greedily weighed his options, considering the consequences of abandoning someone inexperienced. ultimately, his desire for self-preservation won out.
❝ i... i'm sorry, minako, ❞ our investigator managed to utter, his voice laced with regret. ❝ but i can't risk my own safety. it's every person for themselves in a situation like this. ❞
with one final apologetic glance, takumi turned & hurriedly made haste on his escape, leaving her to fend for herself. he ran, his heart pounded wildly within his chest, whilst the thoughts remained consumed by his own survival.
aching legs reached a safe distance, takumi's breathing gradually slowed, & a mixture of relief & shame washed over him. he began rationalizing his actions, convinced himself even that his decision was necessary for his own well-being.
the adrenaline subsided in due time, & once anew takumi's self-centered nature resurfaced. wasting not a moment more, he quickly realized the potential content this encounter could provide for his youtube channel. with a concerned expression, a camera had been pulled out, ready to spin a tale of a narrow escape and the sheer possibility of her maybe surviving such haunting encounter.
while he may have abandoned minako without a second thought, he remained determined to capitalize on the supernatural encounter, using it to fuel his fame, views, & financial gain. he could only hope that she'd come to surface from the darkness sooner or later.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That...can't be good.
Against her better judgment, Minako turned her head just slightly over her shoulder, to peer behind her. Just in time to see that unholy creature slink away and around a corner.
Of all the horrifying things she's seen over her lifetime, this is the thing that sets off the self-preservation sirens in her head fastest. Like hell she was going to stay here with that thing! She's not letting the person she believes to be experienced in this area out of her sight until she's back to safety.
"H-Hey, no way. Don't leave me behind in here." her frightened voice barely squeaks out before she quickly trails after the investigator.

Silence kissed each step they've made, gracing both with a path paved in tranquillity. Her compliance rekindled Takumi's hope of leaving unscathed, thus he nodded in confirmation and lost no time.
Their short lived traverse was suddenly interrupted; burly doors, towering high, crafted from hard alloys shut together. Their impact was powerful enough to breed an eerie sharp sound, its disruptive nature travelled far within the building as if wishing to wake the dead.
Takumi's body jolted, his eyes widened in shock. ❝ Uh. . . that's not supposed to happen. ❞ Something behind them shattered, it was heavy.

With their fabric being pulled so suddenly, the whisper being shared in their ear was plenty of reason to put them on high alert. As if they weren't cautious before, this really raised a lot of alarms within them.
They only offered a slight nod as if to confirm that they had heard what he had said. These kinds of ghosts didn't seem worth the effort whatsoever.
"Understood. Let'.. uh, go then." They muttered in a low tone.
When released, Atieno offers the slightest of smiles before starting to try and make their way out of the building. Best not to try and make a scene about the whole thing.

❝ Uh huh. ❞ A crude, unpleasant and radically sarcastic tone made way past parted lips. Contrary to popular belief, one matter about him never changed; Takumi Sakata was a man of trade, fame and he most certainly caught hints of people wishing to use him. ❝ Finally interested, are you Judy? ❞ His keen eye discerned between the innocent girl act and what could've been perceived as a cunning player.
❝ Do I look like a charity? ❞ The bellowing apparatus giving signs of a gone life was promptly silenced, its contouring silhouette stashed within the belly of a fancy satchel. ❝ I don't do this stuff out of good will, even if we're friends. You want more? You pay for it. ❞ Takumi rudely gestured with an index at the store innards.
❝ You sell cakes, you use your good charms to get customers in. So, you want readings? ❞ One lesson to be learnt, nothing is granted as charity. Every act is a means of attaining gratification or rewards, she was not exempt from such vicious cycle. ❝ Then cough up some hard earned money, simple. ❞ Takumi held on to the satchel, his conniving expression paved way to a determined attitude.

They were so royally screwed; it was big, it was gnarly, its legs were crooked and its body lanky. ❝ Oh. . . ❞ As soon the silhouette moving like a reanimated corpse turned at the corner, once it really vanished out of sight, Takumi immediately shook his head in denial. Not a million bucks would persuade him to delve into that royal mess.
❝ Oh hell no. I am outta' here, I don't know about you but I don't feel like kicking the bucket. ❞ No further words to spare. Our paranormal investigator turned tail and began to walk the opposite direction, straight to the exit door to this doomed edifice. She could follow him, although if she didn't? Tough shit, he wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

❝ Well, aren't you going to make use of this ~ ❞ The juicy event came all together, flawlessly. Takumi's enamoured eyes stargazed skywards, reflecting an indefatigable lust burning beneath the room light.
Finger by finger, a firm grasp formed on Envy's jacket, forcing his presence to encroach just a little c l o s e r. Only someone who could see past those dangerous outlines knew how beautiful, alluring and edible Envy truly could be. ❝ You've got my attention kitty. ❞ His grip gently tugged playfully.

Things were ugly. Over a span of fifty-three expeditions, not once had he crossed such an oppressive place; murky, pungent stench in certain rooms accompanied by a deluding sensation of always being watched. Takumi kissed his tooth, eyes sunk deep into a complex series of graph lines reflecting on the surface of his handheld apparatus.
❝ Not good my man, not good at all. ❞ Ghastly were the events, or perhaps it could've all been a clever ruse for more publicity stunts.
One thing Takumi had mastered over many years was the art of acting, thus his concerned expression mused fervently over the data. ❝ I've seen something similar before in one of my investigations. Bad smells, ❞ Takumi heavily emphasized whilst locking down his eye sight with the man. ❝ Disturbed rooms, cold spots. It's a matter of time before the ghost focuses on you, and it can be dangerous. ❞ Not once did the eye contact dissuade, not even a blink.
It paid to have a competent medium such as Envy doing every excursion with him in the past, it was easy to bullshit scenarios to clients, ever so believable. ❝ I can deal with it, although you will need to let me, and my cameraman stay in your house in the meantime. We will also record these sessions, while trying to pin-point this ghosts location. ❞ With enough seeds buried in the soil, all he needed was a yes.

❝ Well, look who we have here. ❞ The term ' small world we live in ' easily applied, most certainly did. Who could have foretold that the two would've been sharing a beverage within the same cafe, especially in a bustling city with brimming with such establishments.
Takumi flashed one charming smile, his hand caught the rim of a fairly inexpensive set of glasses in order to catch a better glance. Glamorous as always, weren't she? One ethereal star, glistening and perhaps lost within the vast ocean of monochrome pebbles. ❝ Remember me still? Pretty sure it ain't easy to forget this face. ❞ After all, he clearly hadn't forgotten hers.

Embrace: Sender embraces receiver, but only if Takumi is okay with it. [apologies for spamming your inbox. I couldn’t decide which prompt I wanted to send.]

A fleeting moment is all it were, much so like a picture frame detailing one moment of empathy. Harmony's selfless act of kindness was reciprocated in equal measure as Takumi embraced her bac,; his arms were firm, warm, filled with sympathy at its finest. Despite his callous acts and selfish demeanour at times, it was clear that Harmony wished to be held.
❝ What's up care bear? Did someone make you upset? ❞ Fond of such genuine communion, Takumi's lashes fell like a curtain, concealing behind them a mesmerizing set of silvery marbles. Unless she took the hint, her freedom had been kidnapped and she would not be leaving until he got a plausible excuse.

Save: Sender saves receiver’s life
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❝ Oh God, thanks for not ditching me ! ❞ He barely W H E E Z E D out any of those coherent words. Somewhere out there, skulking in the dark, something ominous repeatedly unleashed a series of cacophonies; shrieks and wails as if Hell followed its every step. In desperation to feel alive again, it sought out any living person who dared to enter the damned building.
Tired, Takumi slid against the dirty wall. It felt almost unbearable to breathe, no matter how much air he inhaled, it were as if the ribcage could not expand further to accommodate the need. Regardless, he frantically waved a hand for her to hide, get out of sight within the room. ❝ It didn't see us come in here, we need to wait it out. ❞ Hopefully, may God have mercy, waiting would be a clever plan.

❝ Ah ~ ❞ Such tantalizing sound ensued as the lips parted, revealing a tongue which playfully stuck out slightly. Its cushioned surface welcomed the loving sweet, before it disappeared out of sight; they were his favourite!
Brightened spirits coaxed Takumi to come closer to Envy, not a moment too soon and the taller silhouette had been pulled down by the fabrics he wore. Takumi planted a quick kiss on Envy's lips, all whilst sneaking in a playful slap to that gorgeous ass.
