Soft Intimacy!

🌱 - Plant seedlings with my muse 

The feeling of dirt between her fingers and under her nails was a familiar one, though not one she’d had a chance to smile at since before her move to the city. Planting things in Kiku’s little garden off to the side of her house had been something the girls could do every summer, but with her move and focus shifting away from the countryside… It was nice to ‘play in the dirt’ again, Mako had to admit.

Twice as nice when it came with Kusanagi kneeling beside her, as well, grinning wide the moment she turned to flash the elder a bright smile. “I know it won’t be much of anything for a while, but at least it’s a start of something, right?” ‘Something’ being a small ‘garden’ of her own tucked away behind her apartment building she’d gotten permission for - Just three tall, long, box-shaped planters for vegetables, tucked away in a sunny space nobody ever cared to look at.

And sure, she could’ve called Kiku and built up the garden on the girl’s next visit, or tried to get Takeru to give her a hand, but there was something nice about crouching in what was effectively a sunny back alley with Kusanagi that made the entire thing worth a smile. “Thank you… This’s been a fun afternoon, you know.”

Especially since it’d been spent with someone she couldn’t see as anything but her big brother.

"Shun, you shun't!" (from Dennis. get it? Shun + shouldn't = shun't)

          “Listen, you piece of garbage, I’m about to shunt you into a ditch!”

kiss + your choice for both of the boys

Send Kiss and a number to kiss a girl~

14. to surprise/confuse them

“Dennis…” How did she lose track of him? Her fiance was a magician, sure, and knew far too many ways to make himself dissappear… But from a park? If he was looking to leave her confused, he’d managed to pull it off!

And worse, she couldn’t find a single trace of him. Nothing behind or in any of the nearby trees, not behind the closest monument, not even a footstep or a chuckle that usually led her back to her playful magician.. It was as if he’d truly vanished, memories of their time as soldiers inching back out from underneath the rock she kept pulled over them. He couldn’t have gone back to that life… Could he? Hadn’t he left Academia….? He’d been so skilled at vanishing then, when he-

Green-blue eyes widened with a sudden flash of orange and red hair, Dennis’s lips finding hers before she could even register he was there. There and hanging upside down from a tree branch, that was, a small purple flower in his gloved hand and a bright smile that quickly melted into a laugh at her confusion. He’d vanished to… Surprise her? All that worrying so he could hide out and surprise her with-

Cupping his cheeks, Aoi returned the kiss in a flash, a playful huff following against his lips. He’d scared her, sure, but it was impossible to stay mad at him for long - Especially when he was grinning brighter than the sun! “Next time, I’m throwin’ y’ int’ th’ lake.”

@dueltorn <3′d for Aoi to be a dork a starter!

“Pluuuuushfire.”

The call came with Aoi slowly and lazily crawling over her boyfriend, only flopping down onto him once she could comfortably curl up atop him and lay her head on his chest.  A grand show, all so she could relax in the warmth that was Dennis and pretend the rest of the world didn’t exist. “....I’m gonna stay here f’ a bit, ‘kay? Y’ warm." And she wanted to cuddle, but what was asking like a normal person?

i have died everyday waiting for YOU

          It’s gotten so lonely inside her card. She cannot remember the LAST time she had come out besides that duel, the last time she’d seen her Magician or the other Entermates, or the LAST time she’d seen Dennis. She knows she should not feel so downhearted, but it was hard, so HARD.

          For the last time she’d fought on the battlefield, she had represented every little EVIL thing that monsters of her kind were, hadn’t she?

          The call on her card is a WELCOME one, and she jumps to it like a moth to a flame, grasping at the chance before it can SLIP between trembling fingers, materializing herself in a show of color and smoke if only to IMPRESS.

                    ( am I evil? )

          Her lips are STRETCHED into a grin so disgustingly fake that she wants to be angry at herself — ah, but can she REMEMBER the last time her smile had been genuine? She was ugly, downtrodden, replaced by the goodness that was Trapeze Magician, because SHE was everything her duelist hated about himself.

          To see him again is a WEIGHT lifted from her heavy heart, but her greeting is over before it has begun. He is kneeling to her, GRACING her with a small token of affection that she plans to covet in her heart forever. It is enough, it is MORE than enough for her feelings to bubble up and over the surface, until her smile isn’t as wide and is WET instead. Spirits can cry, too, and she cries too much when it comes to him.

          She WANTS to tell him that he can always count on her, but just like every time she has tried, the words do not COME. They get stuck in her throat, as delicate as rose petals and yet threatening to CHOKE her. Her cheeks are soaked and yet she can’t say it’s a bad thing. At least he hasn’t FORGOTTEN about her.

                    ( don’t worry. I won’t be going anywhere, even if I am ‘evil.’ )

@dueltorn I don’t know who this is for Yuuri’s just a brat

          “So, you look atrocious as always. To what do I owe the honor?” The condescending tone couldn’t be lost on most people, Yuuri twirling a bit of his purple bangs around his finger. Normally he’d be annoyed at the interruption, but he was bored today and in need of entertainment.

@dueltorn and I were chatting so...

At this point, she didn’t know why she kept trying. Between Professor Marco and Hokuto, the world felt so empty and blank, and yet she still kept trying. A part of her would always wonder if it was her fault. It was no mystery she didn’t treat her friend the best, but that was just how she was and he knew that, right?

... Right?

Yet, he was still gone, and her and Yaiba weren’t the same without Hokuto. She had always assumed she was the glue, she was what kept them together, she was everything but...

Without Hokuto, things just felt off. There was something about losing the final course representative, and then President Akaba running off to find out what was going on that had left LDS not feeling like the grand place it had always been.

And yet...... yet....

That purple hair with the starred headpiece..... 

“Hokuto...?”

My Opinion on;

Character in general: Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Arc-V so there’s a lot that I don’t remember but it’s definitely interesting seeing muses like Dennis and Sora - muses that I haven’t seen a lot of on here.  I’ve always admired the amount of care and depth you put into all of your muses.

How they play them: I’ve always enjoyed your portrayal of your muses - you capture their mannerisms really well and manage to bring them to life.  No two muses feel the same, they all feel like completely different and unique individuals.  It’s always a pleasure seeing you on the dash.

The Mun: You’re another person who’s always been incredibly nice to me even from the very beginning and that’s something I’ve always appreciated.  You seem like a really welcoming and approachable mun.

Do I:

RP with them: Not yet, I don’t think.  I could be wrong, though.

Want to RP with them: Yeah, I would love to! Would be awesome to interact with some Arc-V muses!

What is my;

Overall Opinion: Admittedly, Arc-V isn’t my favorite series but seeing your blog makes me want to rethink that opinion.  I think that’s just how good you are at fleshing out the characters and bringing them to life.  Seeing your blog honestly makes me want to rewatch the series and give it a second chance.

“Shingo’s hair looks like a toasted marshmallow version of a crane game, pass it on.”

@dueltorn

Shun: What’s wrong with you?

Kaito: Off the top of my head, I’d say low self-esteem, a lack of paternal affection, and a genetic predisposition for anxiety and depression.

@dueltorn​ ;Continued from here.

It hurt to hear him agree. Hurt to hear the truth she knew all to well but had refused to admit. Wasn’t surprised to feel herself flinch at that sweet tone crooned in her direction.  What was it about him that made it so easy to spill out the horrid things she felt inside? Spill the ichor that had replaced her blood far too long ago... There was no hint of surprise as her body flinched at the sweetness in his words, a tone that almost made her wish to drag herself to him on hands and knees. He knew how pathetic she was but had yet to shun her. Why?  “I knew it.” A proclamation that fell from lips she’d previously been chewing on. “I’ll never be of use to anyone. No good...” A hand moved to tug on the white dyed ends of her hair even as her bangs moved to cast shadow over her eyes.  “I just... want to be of use. Is that so wrong?”

@dueltorn from here

          Yuuri was more than amused — in fact, he was tickled pink that there was no resistance from Dennis when he placed the itchy concoction on his head. Now, he didn’t even have to wear gloves ( his deep and personal connection to Starve Venom left him very much immune to most effects of his plants ) but giving away a secret like that wasn’t a good idea. 

          To be honest, he was a bit surprised there was no resistance...but then again, he was a soldier of highest rank, always by the Professor’s side. That, if anything, was a reason not to piss him off. Like a snake, a few silver words to the one above all of them could get anyone quietly taken care of — and so could a few undiluted drops of poison in a drink.

          “I’m fond of all plants. I saw many of the students passing them around and decided that you’ve been such a great entertainer that you might like one too.”

@dueltorn continue from HERE

        “I wouldn’t spit in it. That’s gross.” He said. A frown forming on his face as the ice cream was smacked out of his hand and went onto the hot pavement. His eyes followed it, watching it melt quickly from the heat. 

       When Shun spoke once more the short male looked back up at Shun. He looked like Shun just kicked the most precious thing in his life. “W-why would you do that?” He asked. “I just figured you’d want something cold since it’s so hot out. You didn’t need to be so mean about it.” 

        With that he bent down to pick up half the cone that fell with it, not wanting an animal to accidentally eat it and get sick. He ignored the bitterness from Shun’s words. They rolled off his shoulders easily but he was upset about the waste that became of the ice cream he bought himself this time. He didn’t even get someone to buy it for him. 

@dueltorn​ liked for a starter!

He turns around in the hallways when he catches something out of the corner of his eye, “Kurosaki.  What are you doing out of bed?  It’s 3 AM and my doctors specifically told you to get more sleep.”

Reiji’s fingers tap impatiently against his hip.  “Were you anyone else, I would think you were intentionally trying to inhibit the war effort.”

1-5 for the oc meme!

OC ASKS!!

1. What is your OC’s favorite color?

If her aesthetic so far is anything to go by, she’s actually very fond of the color pink!  Even though she dresses in a lot of things that are either black or on the blue chromatic scale, she’s very fond of pink. It was the main reason she chose a sweet bubblegum color as her avatar’s secondary color.

2. Does your OC collect anything? What do they collect?

You wouldn’t think of it, but Akari really likes pastel-colored things. While not technically a collection you’d think of, she’s in the habit of folding lucky stars. She has a lot of cute patterned paper for making them and has collected pretty jars to store them in.

3. What kind of things is your OC allergic to?

Pollen and badly. You’ll find her with a mask over her face and plenty of tissues in the springtime. She’s absolutely miserable and tends to miss school if it’s bad.

4. What kind of clothing does your OC wear?

She’s a little unoriginal. She mostly wears sweatshirts or sweaters, shorts and sneakers that fit with her hair. She’s not much for showing too much skin. As Malefica, she wears a sexier, more revealing set of clothing, usually a dress. The colors are normally black, sometimes with pink accents. 

5. What is your OC’s first memory?

Akari’s first memory isn’t a very nice one. Honestly, it’s surprising, but her first memory is of the start of school. She remembers vividly that the other kids often teased her for talking funny. It’s a hurt she still carries to this day.
