KIM KITSURAGI - “Is that. My kineema.”
COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Something in him is about to break, *big time*.
EMPATHY - And it’s not going to be pretty, do something!
- DRAMA [Formidable] - Everything is fine!
- “Sure is.”
DRAMA [Formidable: Failure] - Surely he’s aware that he’s not the *only* person in the world who owns a Kineema?
YOU - “Is it really *yours*? I mean, plenty of people have their own Kineemas, right? Like working men, government offices, uh, firefighters I guess, maybe even animal control people? Exactly! A million different people who could’ve driven it into the uh…”
DRAMA - Pause, my liege! Ixnay on the Ineemakay!
YOU - “It could even be our *mysterious* joyrider!”
KIM KITSURAGI - Your frenzied babbling falls deaf to the lieutenant's ears. Instead, he approaches the broken vehicle, sunken in the ice. He moves with a caution and gentleness you haven’t seen him display before.
INLAND EMPIRE - It must be cold and lonely down there, in the icy water. Maybe he could sense its sorrow, calling to him…
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - His hands, which are always stiffly placed behind his back, are trembling.
ENDURANCE - This is the shuffle of a tired, tired man.
HALF LIGHT - He’s going to do something drastic because of you. Oh god, terrible! You’re a terrible liar! You can’t look at this, you just can’t!
VOLITION [Formidable: Success] - It's not *you* who drove his kineema into the sea. You have plenty of faults, but this one is decidedly not yours.
KIM KITSURAGI - He kneels down with his head bowed, casting his face in shadow. He plants a hand on the ice to stabilize himself, squinting to get a better view of the motor carriage. “Detective, it says ‘57’ on it.”
YOU - Sweat drips down your brow, and you feel a terrible headache coming. “Maybe our joyrider has an affinity for that number?”
LOGIC - He's not stupid, he knows that it's not that.
KIM KITSURAGI - “57.”
YOU - “What about 57?”, you brace yourself.
KIM KITSURAGI - “Precinct 57.”
YOU - You wince. “Kim, look-”
KIM KITSURAGI - “When I woke up in the Whirling-in-Rags with no memory of what happened during the days before, I've taken note that something of mine has gone missing.” He grits his teeth. "A very. Important. Something."
He runs his hands over his face, messing his already unkempt hair in the process. Regret creeps up on his features. “God. Fuck. They’re going to fire me over this, they’re not going to hear me out.”
EMPATHY - Desperation settles in the lieutenant's tone. Sadly, you find yourself in agreement, even if you don’t want it to be the truth.
YOU - “People are more valuable than machines, Kim.”
KIM KITSURAGI - “Not people like me.” He rasps.
YOU - “…”
KIM KITSURAGI - Before you can say anything more, you fail to notice the lieutenant carefully walking onto the edge of the ice. He looks over the frigid water, a dizzying blue that mirrors and distorts his exhausted face back to him.
YOU - “Kim?”
KIM KITSURAGI - Seconds pass as he looks to be contemplating something. Out of nowhere, he casually takes another step where the ice ends and the sea begins. It happens all too quick for the lieutenant to even voice a call for help— if he even wanted to — his body plunging into the cold water before your eyes.
YOU - “KIM!!!!”

Something funny about the possibility of Lucky Guy being just that. A guy. Went to the manor with his closest friend for fun, only to end up in a hellhole all alone
The other survivors and hunters have all these complicated and rich backstories of why they came to the manor and Lucky just thinks to himself that he shouldn't have taken anything for granted back then. Worrying about his thesis and rushing to class looks so much easier now that he's in a game of life and death
He feels stupid for having gone to the manor. Test his luck? Yeah right. Lucky was too selfish. And now it cost him everything.
The first time the survivors and hunters finally step out of the manor, he doesn't believe it at first. The others celebrate, feeling like a huge burden has been lifted off of their shoulders.
Only Lucky stands to the side, staring at the phone in his hand. So many missed messages and calls.
(What was once cloth and cotton has turned into flesh and blood.)
Emma tries to call Lucky over to celebrate as well. Lucky looks up from the screen, and the gardener tries not to blanch at the dead look on his face. His eyes look tired.
"I need to get home."
And he still has that thesis to worry about.

I see your doodle request are open. Can you doodle Hondo and Sandman attempt at flirting, make it cringe or corny 😈
JOSEE I TOO HAVE BEEN CRAVING A LIL DREAMLAND RUSH so my gift to u .. 🩷 Sandman recreating that one Rocky pose and using his (best) worst pickup line to woo Hondo .. and it worked technically !
i actually had to look up "shitty pickup lines about sleeping" for this im so dead serious and IT SUCKS JUST AS BAD AS U THINK IT WOULD !
English text reads:
"Hey baby, are you insomnia? Because you won't let me sleep with you"
Japanese text reads:
"いつかさ の人と結婚 するんだ..."
English translation:
"I'm gonna marry him one day..."
THIS ONE TOOK FOREVER CUZ I HAD TO DO A BUNCH OF SANDMAN STUDIES JUST TO TRY AND GRASP SOME OF HIS FEATURES BRO i still missed the mark a bit but practice makes perfect !! HOPE U LOVE IT JOSE KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE DREAMLAND RUSH NATION 🩷🩷

Hey, Jil!! Just wanted to pop in because I've been watching videos with obscure Pokémon facts, and there was one with Steven that made me go, "Oh! It's neat that Jil's husband is so thoughtful!" And I had to run and tell you asdfghjkl
I believe it's in Emerald, but I know it's definitely in Gen III. Apparently, if you don't visit Steven and get Dive during the story (which could happen if you traded over a Pokémon who knew the HM, therefore bypassing seeing Steven to get it), the game has a little fail-safe where when you go at the end of the game to collect the Beldum he leaves for the player, he'll also leave the HM Dive, which you would have gotten during the story normally! And I just thought it was cute that such a tiny detail exists ... Steven is truly a sweetheart. /p
~ swallowed--by-the--sea ⚓️
IDID NOT KNOW THAT WHAT I DIDNTNFDJDF DJDHDBFBFBDBRHRH WHAT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 I MEAN I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THIS BECAUSE OF COURSE I WOULD VISIT STEVEN IN HIS HOUSE ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS PROMPTED BY HIM 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹!!!!!!
HESUCH A SWEETHEART..... he already was a sweetheart for giving such an important item as thanks for helping BUT GIVING THE HM AS A PARTING GIFT WITH THE BELDUM IF I HYPOTHETICALLY MISSED HIM???? I DON'T DESERVE HIM I REALLY DONT DESERVE HIM 😭😭😭AHUHUHHYJGJY
um. not to slightly derail from the topic but i do have a screenshot just moments after he did give me the HM because im so silly about him heheeh 💚💚 lookie lookie 🥹
