✏️ (Ann)

Ann: Makoto... Makoto: I can tell by the tone of your voice that you are disappointed. Alas, I must further disappoint you by affirming how little I give a fuck.

-----

Ann, trying their first ever cup of coffee: I am ENERGY! Makoto, an avid coffee drinker, on their twelfth cup of the day: Someone slap me awake or I am literally going to fall into a coma in ten seconds.

-----

Makoto: I'm gonna need a human skull but you can't ask why. Ann: Only if you also don't ask why. Ann: *pulls four pristine human skulls out of their bag* Makoto: ... Makoto, grabbing a skull: This one will do.

-----

Makoto: I like your new pants! Ann: Thanks, they were 50% off! Makoto: I’d like them better if they were 100% off. *winks* Ann: The store can’t just give away clothes for free. Makoto: Thats’s… not what I meant. Ann: That’s a terrible way to run a business, Makoto.

-----

Ann: I need you to come meet me, and I need you to come alone. Makoto: And I need you to be less vague and weird.

xstudentxprezx asked: “Guess it’s kind of like a sleepover, huh?” -- I don't even know who but a multiship fo sho probably including at least Jinx or Natsuki

"Hell, yeah! Just you and me and, well--... THEM!! But no adults, no overbearing big sisters, and NO. RULES!!" Ann threw an arm around Makoto's neck, pulling her into a half hug, voice full of energy and LIFE as she threw up a peace sign and winked. "Never thought I'd be sleepin' over at MAKOTO'S PLACE!! So what do we do here? Can we bring down all the pillows and make a FORT, ooh maybe we can do a FASHION SHOW, or DRINKING GAMES, wait do you have any alcohol? Any video games? Crap, I should've brought mine!" Yes, this was all one train of thought from one OBLIVIOUS, HYPERACTIVE, & SELF-CENTERED GIRL. "Oh, what about movies? Should we go pick some up? Maybe some PIZZA, TOO!? Makoto can drive so it wouldn't even take that long!!" Someone for the love of God... Makoto was gonna need a MIRACLE to get out of tonight alive. Or maybe she and Ann just needed the METANAV APP to steal them away from this reality and give them an ESCAPE? "We could play spin the bottle or seven minutes in heaven, those don't even NEED alcohol!" Finger found its way to tap again Ann's chin. "But I suppose we do need a bottle. ...And a closet..."

"Ughh... SHUT UP, Ann-Kun, you're giving me a HEADACHE over here..." Fingers pressed into her temples rubbing gentle, soothing circles. "And why do we NEED all that stuff anyway? Why don't we do something MAKOTO wants to do, huhhh?" Pouty lips, puffed out cheeks. HMPH. "Like, I'm sure Makoto has LOTS of baking ingredients! We could make cookies and cupcakes! Could make some for everyone! Even Sae, so she won't be as MAD when she gets home." Natsuki wasn't STUPID. Makoto had long avoided people coming to her place, for many of the same reasons Natsuki had both avoided people coming to HER place AND her going to anyone else's. Geez. If only Makoto knew the BEATING Natsuki had coming to her tomorrow... She'd cancel this whole sleepover in a MINUTE and probably try to talk to her dad or something... Not that her dad ever LISTENED to REASON. (Believe her, she'd tried. Had manga torn up, poems spat on, cupcakes trashed, and ribs bruised all in the process.) "Plus, unlike SOME PEOPLE, I actually came prepared!" She threw down a cute lil pink backpack, clearly overstuffed and the zip strained to come loose on its OWN, manga spilled out. "So how about it Makoto?"

Snicker. Snicker. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "Ah-Hah-Hah! Pffuh-Hah-Hah-Hah!" That had been the damn break, Jinx had broken down into a fit of laughter, clutching at her belly and rolling around on Makoto's fancy couch, legs kicking up into the air WILDLY (comically with a sign fo over-exaggeration, one might say.) "Manga? Pizza? Drinking? Okay, drinking DOES sound kinda good. But CUPCAKES? -- CUPCAKES!?" Jinx didn't bake often, and when she did it didn't exactly turn out well... (Not that she PLANNED it, too.) "We don't need any o' that stuff. What we need are FIREWORKS and GRAFFITI CANS." Pause. "And buildings! Buildings are great! Not this one. This one kinda grosses me out." Not because it was MAKOTO'S, okay kinda cuz it was Makoto's. It was just in Jinx's ENTIRE EXISTENCE to be a shitlord about that kinda shit. But rather, honestly...? Jinx hadn't ever been invited into a place that looked THIS GOOD... It all felt kinda SUFFOCATING and OVERWHELMING. Especially knowing she had to be on her BEST BEHAVIOUR (which to be honest still wasn't saying much.) "Come onnn, let's jet! We can go skateboarding~~ Oooh, or we could start a BIKER GANG!!" Of which only Makoto would have a motorcycle license, but hey, Jinx had stolen one before! Could you tell Jinx didn't REALLY know how sleepovers worked?

xfoodxobsessedx asked: How do you deal when you know you’re being irrationally jealous? @ Your muses

"Jealousy? What would I ever have to be jealous of? Sure Makoto has better GRADES than me in every subject that isn't Engl--... Okay every subject, and she can DRIVE, and knows AIKIDO, and was STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT, and has a KICK ASS Phantom Thief outfit, and the COOLEST name of us all, and is older than me, and spends all her time lately with a bunch of pseudo-celebrity, twenty-six year old TENS -- Her words, not MINE. And has successful careers and social circles both here in Tokyo AND in Morioko... But... I'm not JEALOUS of her, o-or any of the girls she spends more time with than me these days. I-In fact... If you ask me... I couldn't be HAPPIER for her! For them! It's great, just great, juuuust GRRREAT!! That she has a great group of friends to watch over her out in the field and while she's away from me! I'm totally fine with it. No hard feelings. Only good vibes."

Well that was an awful long monologue, and told us absolutely nothing apart from the fact that Ann has some major, major complexes when it comes to Makoto and her newfound success in Morioko with Ch'en, Swire and Sae. So let me try my hand on how she deals with being irrationally jealous: SHE DOESN'T. Put plainly, Ann is not in touch anywhere near enough with her true emotions to realize what she's doing and how she's reacting. Before now everyone who was her friend were total LOSERS like her, and all the extraneous attention would be ON HER as the blonde, well-endowed, foreign teenager. She'd never known jeaousy until she fell quietly and unwittingly in love with Makoto Niijima. Now Makoto's gone and Ann never told her how she felt, and Ann's dealt with this by... Surrounding herself with SHALLOW ALLEGIANCES, and making a PARTY of her life in Tokyo. But in her heart of hearts, could she say she truly knew or cared about any of her new friends on the same level as Makoto? Or even Shiho? Even the REST OF THE PHANTOM THIEVES? No. No she couldn't.

"Oh, heyyy, Makoto, over here! OVER HERE!" Ann and Makoto had seen each other in MONTHS. Ever since Makoto had graduated top of her class and stole away to another city to study law. Meanwhile, Ann had gotten herself her own place. Well. Gotten a place with other people. It was either that or follow her parents to HONG KONG. "I've missed you SO. MUCH. This is Ethan, Botan, Itsuki and Hinata! And you've already met Shiho and Mika." She paused, brow knitting, glancing around in confusion. "Ryuji and Futaba are... SOMEWHERE..." She shook her head and threw herself at Makoto, latching on in a deadweight hug. "So how have you been? How's police academyyy treatin' ya, Tex?" Was it smart to reference GHOSTBUSTERS right now? Wait, would that movie scare Makoto? What about Casper The Friendly Ghost? "Guys, this is Makoto, she's the freakin' BEST. Oh, Makoto-Senpai to you guys. Only I get THAT special privelege~" (Liar. Though she'd never miss a chance to brag.)

xstudentxprezx asked: A thread where Makoto, Alice, & Ann are all drinking at the karaoke club & dancing / grinding / having fun? idk I just want to write this lol

"So this is what you losers get up to in your free time?" Alice's sing-song voice chided PLAYFULLY at Makoto and Ann as she crossed her legs thigh over thigh and sipped on a... What did Ann call this? A Strawberry Sunrise? "Gotta say Makoto, getting drunk in a seedy karaoke bar where girls drink free? I'd have NEVER GUESSED." Tone stayed slurred somewhere in the inbetween of the FACE OF WONDERLAND, and Alice's uncurbed valley girl (BORDERLINE GYARU) valence. She had these girls and alcohol to thank for that. She'd still not quite figured out what SHE HERSELF wanted in life after she'd been rescued from her Jail. But if nothing else, she at least felt SAFE to figure it out alongside the Phantom Thieves. "Well go on, Makoto, sing us a song. Dance for us up on that stage." She smirked, itty bitty heart EXCITED to see Makoto make a cute fool of herself up on that stage. Wait, cute? Did she just seriously just think that? About MAKOTO? Urgh. Okay maybe she needed more alcohol. "Can someone come with me to get another drink?" Not that she'd finished her CURRENT ONE. And it wasn't like she could suddenly start DOWNING THE BEVERAGE WHOLESALE. That would look way too suspicious.

"Yeah! Let's do it Makoto! We can sing-- Well..." She SMILED, all big and bubbly and bright, her voice cut in with undertones of GLEEFUL GIGGLES. "Whatever the Hell you want!" She took Makoto's hand and pulled her from her seat, or at least ATTEMPTED TO... Makoto had always been a STUBBORN NUT TO CRACK whenever it concerned karaoke. "Or we could DANCE if that makes you feel ANY better about yourself?" Though Ann failed to see WHY... Makoto definitely had the voice for singing, at least as much as she had the moves for dancing. Though, she suppoesd, no one would be WATCHING HER DANCE... "Come onnn, it'll be funnnn. You can choose the song~?" She whistled out. "DJ!!" Said DJ waved from over on his deck. "So what'll it be?" Waggle of her brow. "Y'wanna sing with me? Drink with me? Dance with meeee? Sing for the year?" RAUCOUS LAUGHTER, a sign of Ann's drunkenness or just her lack of self-control in GENERAL? Not only had any window longed passed by between SING WITH ME and SING FOR THE YEAR, but it hardly counted as a pun, nor was it particularly funny, and yet Ann adding on the extra lyrics two questions too late had her CRACKING UP. "C'mon, c'mon, c'moonnnnn~~!!!"

@xfoodxobsessedx

"Hey, Makoto-San, right? Lemme ask you a question..." Things had been bugging her for a WHILE now. Ever since Ryuji broke his leg. "What does a girl like you wanna be student council president for anyway? Where'd you even get the votes? You're not exactly LITTLE MISS POPULAR around here." Not that Ann was one to talk. No one trapped in Kamosheda's little web of lies was winning any popularity contests any time soon...
