Tazlo Fluff #16: Aftermath

Tazlo Fluff is a side drabble series about Cal and Emry pre-book events. For the main story, please see The Stray Spirit!

Setting: the day of their break-up and onward (both POVs)

Synopsis: Emry and Cal deal with the break-up in different ways.

Words: 1,114

TW/CW: low self-esteem/depression/maybe dissociation, alcohol - to be safe, I’m hiding the whole thing under the cut.

TSS Taglist: @crystallized-ink, @little-boats-on-a-lake, @semblanche, @theramwrites, @wordsbycreed, @pretend-im-normal, @mel-writes-with-her-dragons, @wildswrites, @ladywithalamp, @ettawritesnstudies, @mj-comics, @cecilsstorycorner, @write-your-own-stories

Note #1: This is a reminder to please look at the TW/CW before reading this one.

Note #2: This contains major spoilers for the inter-personal conflicts in the main story of The Stray Spirit.

Note #3: This is in fact the last Tazlo Fluff post! If you’re coming to the party late, no worries- I’ll be creating a post compiling links to every issue soon.

Looking back, it was a wonder Emry had even made it to the Dancing Rabbit that night.

It was the first night of Sada, and everyone must have assumed his stumbling gait was due to a few pre-celebration drinks. The rain, as light as was, also hid the tears streaking his face.

He didn’t know how he pulled it together to perform at the tavern, on the uncomfortable stool in the dusty corner in front of all the people who had no idea, no idea, what Cal had just said to him. Had he actually sung anything? He must have. They had all laughed along at some point- surely he had made one of his usual jokes. Probably something about Sada and luck. He knew all about Sada and luck.

It wasn’t until he reached the bar where the mask started to crack.

“What would you like?” Bron made to grab a mug for ale- Emry’s usual.

“Stronger, please.” The request rasped in his throat. That was just the singing, right? He must have sung a lot.

Bron frowned.

“Thought you didn’t like anything stronger?”

“I do today.”

Bron glanced out at the patrons.

“Mr. Karic…where is Ms. Breslin?”

Emry struggled to take a breath.

“I’ll take that drink now-“

Bron pulled the glass away and turned to the woman seated at the corner of the bar.

“Marko Stell, do you know him?”

“Yeah, sort of-“

“Find the man, now.”

That was the last coherent thing Emry heard before his head was down on the bar, his breath coming in dry, painful sobs. He had run out of tears hours ago, leaving nothing but grief grasping his throat and the physical pain of self-hatred streaking through his arms and down to his thumbs.

“Thank you for calling me…” Someone tugged at his arm. “Stef, can you get his other side, please…”

The pain didn’t leave. Every time he woke up and thought maybe he could shrug it off, like he did with the memory of everything else he’d done wrong in his life, Cal’s words poured into his veins like molten lead, and he let their weight drag him back down to sleep.

Sometimes he’d wake up to a bowl of soup or a piece of bread on his nightstand. They held no appeal, but he tried them anyway before hiding back under the covers.

Then one morning, he woke instead to Marko yelling his name and shaking his shoulders, his roommate’s wild and panicked gaze piercing through his glasses.

“What is it? What’s going on?” Emry sat up and whipped around. “Is the place on fire?”

“What?” Marko caught his breath. “No, nothing’s on fire!”

Emry touched his pounding head and winced.

“Then what’s happening?”

“I just…” Marko slouched back. Had his friend always looked so drawn? “I usually knock on the door and say hello, just to make sure you’re- but then you didn’t say anything back, and I thought…I thought…”

The realization drowned out Emry’s headache.

“Oh- Marko, no, I’d never-,” he grabbed his friend’s arm, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, I’d never do that.”

“What was I supposed to think, Emry?” Marko took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. “You’ve been in here for three days.”

“Three days?” Emry looked out the window. He had thought at least one day, maybe two… “I’ll get up. I’ll get up today, I promise.”

Several hours later, he was sitting outside with Marko and Stef. Between the two of them, they had bought him enough food to make up for the past four days and then some. He tried small bites of most of it to appease them, while they muttered back and forth.

“Don’t do it, Stef-“

“We have to know, she’s our friend, too.”

“Not now.”

“No, now.” Stef turned to Emry. “What on earth happened between you and Cal?”

---

“That’s why he refused to move to Vornik with you?” Sorina set down her wine glass. “Because he has to join the Auric Guild?”

Cal nodded over the rim of her own glass. They were sitting in a cafe in Vornik, watching the carriages roll by. As silly as Sorina could be sometimes, there was one thing to be said about her- when Cal had asked her to accompany her to Vornik twenty minutes before the carriage was supposed to leave, she had packed her bags without question.

“But that’s…” Sorina resumed swirling her wine as she thought aloud. “There’s only, what, twenty members of the Guild in the whole province? That’s impossible.”

“Improbable.”

“Whatever. Numbers aside- it’s not like the Guild never performs here in Vornik. It might not be as good of an opportunity as Tazlo, what with their Sada and all, but-“

“It’s his family,” Cal said. Remembering the conversation pulled her insides taut, but she pushed through it. “According to him, he can’t come home until he’s a Guild member- it’s this stupid ultimatum they gave him- and if they find him-“

“How would they find him? I thought he was from Senne.”

“They’re the river route Karics.”

“Oh, them. Yeah, they’d be everywhere, wouldn’t they?”

“So if they find him and discover that he’s been this hopeless failure in Tazlo this whole time- to use his words…” Cal trailed off, unable to stop picturing the shame that had weighed down his shoulders as he had explained it all to her.

And she had said- she can’t believe she had said-

“So what did you say back?”

Cal took a strained breath.

“I told him I couldn’t do a long-distance relationship with someone who was going to spend the rest of their life hiding.” Her voice caught in her throat. “That it was Vornik or nothing.”

Emry’s last words still echoed in her ears- please don’t make me choose, Cal, please don’t make me choose-

“Good for you.” Sorina flipped her long hair over her shoulder. “What a red flag, honestly. It’s a good thing you got out of all that before it got worse. Hopeless failure doesn’t sound far off the mark, if you ask me…”

Under the table, Cal’s hand clenched. Above, she grabbed her wine, drained the glass, and nodded.

“Right.”

“Besides, you don’t want to be chained to some washed-up musician, do you?” Sorina gestured to the streets. “You’re in Vornik now. I’m sure there’s plenty of good, successful men around here to toss around.”

“Sure.”

“I’m serious! I give it two weeks until you completely forget about that idiot. He didn’t deserve you, anyway.”

Sorina returned to Tazlo the following day, leaving Cal in an empty, silent room with absolutely nothing to do but cry.

The Reverse World: Chapter 1

The Reverse World (AO3 | FF.net) Status: In Progress Rating: T Main Characters: Odd Jobs & Shinsengumi Word Count: 1140 Summary: Kondo, Hijikata, and Okita wake up in the Odd Jobs home without a clue what has happened to them. After some investigating, they find the Odd Jobs trio in the Shinsengumi uniform patrolling the streets. Gintama-AU. Disclaimer: Gintama is the intellectual property of Sorachi Hideaki, and is being used in this fanfiction for fan purposes only. All situations, opinions and characters not belonging to Sorachi Hideaki are the intellectual property of Sabichu (a.k.a Englishbad)

Author's Notes: This is extension of my Nightmare/AU fic for OkiKagu Month for 2016 from the very beginning. Implied OkiKagu relationship, but this will be more of a general genre than romance. If you can’t wait for the second chapter of this fic, go ahead and read that, changes will be made!

Extra Lesson 1: Banging Your Head Twice Doesn't Make Things Normal Again

“Huh? Where am I?” Okita opened his eyes, “This isn’t my room.” He heard snoring, following the sound to his right.

He heard a gasp behind him. “What is this? Where am I?” It was Hijikata, woke up in a shock. He was sleeping on the desk.

The loud snore continued. It was Kondo on the opposite side of the sofa.

“Kondo-san, wake up.” Okita called out to him with a lazy tone.

The older man flipped to his side, “A few more minutes.”

Okita looked at his surroundings, a small living room and workspace, and a closet.

“Is this the Odd Jobs?” Okita thinking out-loud. He examined his arms, legs and the rest of the body, as Hijikata followed suit for his own. Wearing off-duty clothes and everything else seemed fine, but still something was out of place.

“Hijikata-san, do you have any clue why we’re here?” The flaxen haired man asked.

“Beats me.” Searching for a cigarette in his sleeves with no avail. “I don’t think we’d ever spend time with those people drinking in their own home.” He opened all the drawers of the desk finding nothing. He slammed the desk with his fists in frustration. The frame behind him fell.

“Slay evil immediately.” Hijikata read picking the sign up. He hung it back on the wall. The slogan was oddly familiar to him, a quick reminder of the Odd Jobs Code he set up as the temporary president of the company.

The two searched the Odd Jobs home for more clues. Looking through the business log, Hijikata skimmed all the names and work that the Odd Jobs have done in the past. Familiar names, but never was directly involved with them. Again, nothing out of the ordinary.

Hijikata and Okita looked at each other, agreeing they haven’t changed in appearance. They checked themselves at the mirror. It was them all right, not someone else in another person’s body, it was just their normal selves.

Kondo finally awoke, stretching, “I haven’t slept so well in a long time!”

“While you were asleep, we were trying to figure out what the hell is going on here!” Hijikata face palmed. “I need my nicotine now.” Getting impatient, he walked over to the door, putting on his sandals, all too instinctively. He just knew it was his pair.

“Maybe it is a good idea to see if the outside world has changed.” Okita suggested, slipping into his own pair of sandals.

Both exited.

“Hey, don’t leave me here!” Kondo quickly put on his own sandals to catch up with them. He reached them, staring at the sign in front of the building.

“T-This can’t be happening…” Hijikata said with a tremble in his voice.

“Odd Jobs, Roshigumi…” Okita read.

“This is just an elaborate prank!” Kondo said laughing. “I’m sure the rest if the men are in the whole thing, let’s go home and give them our laughs.”

“I’m sorry, who are you again?” Kamiyama responded.

Hijikata and Kondo bawled onto the ground, sobbing. Okita deadpanned, watching them smack their heads onto the earth.

“How can this happen to us? All of our hard work, reduced to nothing!” Kondo pounded his fist onto the ground. “This has to be some misunderstanding. Our lives are with the Shinsengumi, we are the Shinsengumi.”

“My apologies, sir. Open recruitment will be next year. We will be more than willing to take your applications early if you like. Your loyalty displayed today will not be forgotten.” Kamiyama saluted to the men.

Okita sighed in annoyance, “I’m not going through this again.” He stepped a little closer to the solider, face-to-face “Where are your superiors? We want to talk to them.”

Kamiyama was taken back, “They’re currently away from the compound. They will return shortly. If you are need assistance with anything else, please notify the police. We are unable to help you under these circumstances. As we are a special police force for the Bakufu.”

“You’re useless as usual.” Okita crossed his arms.

“I-I beg your pardon?” Kamiyama raised his voice to the younger man.

“Hah? You should rethink your tone of voice before you speak to me again.” It was instinct for him to go on full captain mode on him, the sadistic look in his eyes made the man tremble and sweat. Okita narrowed his eyes at him, before turning away, “Tch, this is a waste of time.”

Okita dragged Kondo and Hijikata away from the home and work place they once knew.

Kondo wiped away his tears, as Hijikata calmed down with a cigarette in his mouth walking along side Okita to Odd Jobs.

“What are we supposed to do now?” Okita asked.

“I suppose we continue on as the members of the…Odd Jobs.” Hijikata cringed on the last part. “Until we figure out this mess.”

“We haven’t seen the original Odd Jobs members yet. Perhaps they’re stuck in our situation as well. We should look for them. They might have a clue to what’s going on.”

“It’s just a dream. It’s just a dream. It’s just a dream.” Kondo whacked his head against a pillar; his head was already bloody from the first few bangs.

“What the hell are you doing? Bashing your head is just going to give you a concussion!” Hijikata yelled at the man.

“I just want to home to lay on Otae-san’s lap. This is getting too much for me.” Kondo confessed.

“It’s only been a few hours! Plus that’s just a fantasy, you were nowhere at that level of comfort with her even at home!”

They heard heavy footsteps resound.

It felt like time slowed down upon the presence of these figures passing by.

They felt their heart beat faster as they felt them walk closer.

A young woman with gorgeous vermillion hair tossed her hair to the side as the gold tassel rang from her hair ornament. She wore a form fitting black and gold Shinsengumi uniform, similar to a certain former Mimawarigumi vice-captain, with a purple parasol above her head, carrying a sword to her side.

Next to her, a young man with a strong confident aura with black hair in a medium cut in a modified Shinsengumi uniform, a long coat, double breasted lapel, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, wearing arm protectors, and glasses strolled along with her carrying two swords on his hip.

“Hey, you’re walking too fast.” A man with silver-permed hair said.

The two stopped turning back, waiting for him.

He was more lax than the other two. He was in a normal Shinsengumi commander’s uniform, jacket tied to his waist and his sleeves rolled up with a real sword on his left.

Hijikata, Kondo, and Okita looked at the original Odd Job members in shock as they walked on by.

“N-No way…” Three said in unison.

Notes: You might remember when Gintoki and Toshirou switched bodies for the Soul Switch Arc, that Toshi recreated order for the Odd Jobs with his own Code for them to follow. The saying, “Slay evil immediately” is a real slogan that the real Shinsengumi used during that time and has been referenced in Gintama, and other historical samurai fiction such as Rurouni Kenshin.

The Roshigumi (浪士組, meaning "the ronin squad"), is the original group name before finalizing members of became Shinsengumi. Gintama universe is different, where Matsudaira and Isaburo, created a police force in Edo to counteract the growing problem of the revived Jouishishi called the Roushigumi. The Roushigumi had brought down crime and became popular over the next few days until it was decided that they would be in charge of protecting the Hitotsubashi head and his son Hitotsubashi Nobu. Unbeknownst to them, they were meant to be the scapegoats of the father and son's assassination conducted by Tokugawa Sada and carried out by the Tenshouin Naraku. Isaburo created a plan that not only saved the father and son, but also helped increased the standing of the Roushigumi. This lead to the Roushigumi becoming an official police force and Kondo changing their name to the Shinsengumi. [Wikipedia and Gintama Wikia]

Kamiyama is a squad member the First Division of the Shinsengumi. Remember Okita stabbed his ass with a short sword? Yeah, that’s him.

Also, just to make the reading more enjoyable, listen to the Gintama Soundtrack OST 2 – Track 06 - Tabemono no Suki Kirai Ooi Nin wa Ningen no Suki Kirai mo Ooi when they see The Odd Jobs Trio in Shinsengumi uniforms. :D

This story got very complicated as I did more research and did an outline. It seems like it’ll be more than 20 chapters long (lol…). It feels almost a re-write of the entire series, which was not my intention, but for flow and I’ll see how much patience I have. And not everything will he historically accurate nor as canon as Gintama. Give me some leeway here. Oh, I just realized the notes ended up taking more space than the actual story…

Major Work Part 1

Here’s some thoughts I’ve had for awhile about what I’d like to do. I actually have a lot of options, so I won’t get stuck out cold, but I want to do things the hard way and start with the concept for the song first. I’ve been considering what Damian said about there always being some type of unbreakable tension behind each work that always leads us to raise questions rather than answer them, so I’ve been thinking about the schisms that I’ve been able to answer and I have about three. On the political level the decision between liberal globalism (where money is the only thing with intrinsic value) and civil socialism (The government as the only institution that can defend the interests of the citizens which is of most importance). The thing with this one is that I flip-flop on it everyday, and there’s always something more to say about it. I don’t really think it’s something that I could fully express in a single work. It’s an everchanging dialogue of back and forth, what about this what about that, and this happened to me so now I’m this etc. My other issues are sort of cliche, but I don’t think there’s anything bad about that because they’re genuine. So one was about loving someone else to an extreme degree. Sort of like loving someone, not just more than yourself, but to a point where you no longer want to be yourself anymore - you wish you were a part of them. There’s this self destructive element to it, and when I think about it that’s sort of the issue with all of my ideas. Then I sort of had this idea of using cannibalism as a metaphor, wanting to be eaten so you could be a part of them. So it’s not really like a Bernd Brandes and Armin Meiwes thing, because that was just a strange fetish considering that Brandes ate part of himself. It’s a bit more like when Sada Abe strangled Kichizo Ishida to death, since that had a large romantic element, but that still had a very different motivation and result. The second is about how you have to let go of old relationships and move on with your life even though you don’t really want to. You keep going on with life, and sure things do get better, and you start believing in yourself again, but it’s almost ironically cyclical in that you only persevere in the hope that you’ll one day not want to go back in the time and kill yourself before your relationship broke up. There’s also this sub-level in that you try really hard to move on, but keep finding yourself drawn to people who remind you of them, and then you feel like shit because you don’t want to use them, but you want to go on, and it’s all a big mess, because you don’t mean to be exclusively drawn to (and subsequently disappointed by) people who remind you of the person you can’t be with. Finally the third is about when romantic partners change in a fundamental way which was completely unpredictable, in response to desperate circumstances and you have no idea how to respond. On one side you feel fond of them, and don’t want to leave them, but on the other hand they’ve betrayed the very morals that brought you together in the first place, morals which you still abide by, and would even in their circumstance. Knowing me I’ll probably end up going with the cannibalism one because it’s the hardest and will therefore make the most use of the course. I can follow the others later, and hopefully I’ll be left with an extended and complete body of work that I can market and release.

wordcubed replied to your post: Ohhh boy. Found my old dossier of Naruto...

POST THE SHAME POST THE SHAME

WELL IF YOU INSIST.

(To start, it bears mentioning that a lot of these people were from my personal village, “The Village Hidden in Plain Sight.” At a certain point in their training, they believed they couldn’t progress without giving up something substantial. Usually, it was a body part.

Also, the further down the list you go, the greater the possibility that not all of these characters are mine. I had to delete at least one entry that belonged to my friend and there might very well be more.

Also, I’m deeply, deeply sorry for all of this.)

Miya Haruko Nicknames: Madame Happyhands (by Ryuouken) Village: Plain Sight Age: 14 Date of Birth: October 28 Hair: Long and white Eyes: Orange Personality: Eccentric, gets carried away when she's excited about something Likes: Autumn, cold weather, musicals, the noise Sachio makes when she kisses his wrist Dislikes: Hot weather, wasp nests, her eyebrows, the word "number line" Favorite foods: Blackberries, apple juice, cheese and herb sandwiches, okonomiyaki Favorite color: Light blue Fears: New moons Goals: To become a Jounin like her mother, grandmother, etc. Past: When she was ten years old, she cut off both her thumbs in the rite of "gisei yoru", or sacrifice night. She actually did become stronger by replacing said thumbs with knives that flip out.

Minoru Kikami Nicknames: Vixen (given by Sachio; earned him a punch in the jaw) Village: Plain Sight Age: 15 Personality: Optimstic, determined, but has a michievious streak Date of Birth: Feburary 16 Hair: Brownish orange, spikes backwards crazily and each spike is tipped with white Eyes: Brown Likes: Being outside, his team, sunrises and sunsets, you, more than likely.

It died down, but not before taking the lives of both Minoru's parents when he was just a toddler. His adopted mother/grandmother found him wandering on the outskirts of the village and took him in. Growing up with only a few vague memories and no knowledge of what he is, he lives only to protect and serve his home.

Ryuken Tsuji Nicknames: The Hound, Ryu (given by Chinatsu) Village: Plain Sight Age: 26 Personality: Laid back, sarcastic, picks on his students but cares about them quite a bit. Date of Birth: April 19 Hair: Brown and rough, doesn't shave perfectly Eyes: Honeysuckle brown Likes: Pear blossoms, the smell of sake (not the taste), hot baths, smokes on special occasions. Dislikes: Arrogance, cats, women who are obsessed with their cats, overdependance Fears: Loss, change Favorite Food: Anything spicy Favorite color: Black Past: Years ago, when he was a genin, he loved and was loved in return by a girl named Chinatsu. They were firm friends right through training and, had things worked out differently, would have gotten married. But at age 17 she was killed on what should have been a routine mission. No one, maybe not even Ryuokouen, fully understands just how much he misses her. For her he cut the muscles in his own left arm, rendering it useless.

Kirin Nicknames: The Golden One Village: None Age: 17 Personality: Sly, smooth, quite the flirt. Date of Birth: May 10 Hair: Long and gold, falls over his right eye. Eyes: Gold Likes: The stars, his own abilities, fireflies Dislikes: Farmers with good aim, barbed arrows, mold, ticks Fears: Death Favorite food: Green tea cake, pheasant, eggs Favorite color: White Description: Leaving his parents when he was young, Kirin is a kitsune who's true to his race. He loves to lay tricks for people entering the forest (young genin are a favorite target.) Though he has the charm to make village girls swoon, he can and frequently does change his gender, becoming a pretty young girl in order to steal from naive young farm boys with more chickens then common sense. In spite of all his quirks, he loves Minoru with a fierce passion, and would gladly give his life to protect him.

Chinatsu Ikeda Nicknames: Chi (given by Ryukuen) Village: Plain Sight Age: 17 when she died Personality: Outgoing, sweet, playful Date of Birth: December 11 Hair: Short and brown. Has a small string of blue beads tied in. Eyes: Lavender Likes: Cinnamon, thunderstorms in the summer, dancing Dislikes: Selfishness, dogs that drool, two-faced people Fears: Needles Favorite food: Pancakes, smoked ham Favorite color: Orange Past: Chinatsu used to be best friends with Ryuken when they were young, and their friendship blossomed as they grew up. She was Chi to him and he was Ryu to her. On a mission to stop a small band of rogue ninjas, what should have been an easy job, she was fatally wounded in the stomach. She died three days later without ever waking up.

Yurei Zenwara Nicknames: None Village: Plain Sight when he was born, will secretly do mercenary work for any village that seeks his services. Age: 19 Personality: Colder than ice. He only lives to do his missions and cares for nothing. Date of Birth: January 14 Hair: White and extremely long Eyes: Pale, pale yellow Likes: His chains Dislikes: The sound of cicadas Fears: Nothing Favorite Food: Ginger tea Favorite color: None Past: When he was a genin, Yurei was actually very sweet. He was dedicated to the ninja arts and equally so to his teacher, something that turned to love in time. But for his gesei no yoru, he underwent a specific, highly secretive training techinquie that involved sealing away his emotions. The chains that hang around his wrists, neck, and ankles are symbolic of that, as well as being effective weapons.

Ika Katsuyuki Nicknames: None Village: Sound Age: 16 Personality: Arrogant and rude Date of Birth: June 29 Hair: Very dark blue, with two long strands Eyes: Dark green Likes: Hot baths, falling snow, firelight Dislikes: People and the things that they do, when her name is made fun of Favorite food: Jelly on fresh bread, roast fish Favorite color: Red Past: Ika had a very nice childhood, choosing her path as one of Orochimaru's followers on her own. Though she admires his power and charisma, she could never get into his inner circle. That, plus the fact that she had an unrequited crush on Kabuto, helped to make her an even more bitter person than she already was. How she came to find love with someone like Washi is a mystery for the ages. But love him she does.

Shi Hiromi Nicknames: None Village: Sound Age: 14 Personality: Loyal to the death, loving, but a survivor through and through Date of Birth: August 1 Hair: Short purple/gray/blue Eyes: Dark blue Likes: The wind, daffodils, the thrill of victory Dislikes: When people insult her injury without being able to challenge her properly, pickled plums Favorite food: Anything with strawberry in it Favorite color: Teal Past: Shi was born in the Village Hidden in the Blood at the worst possible time, and lived a happy life until age three. That year the village was attacked. She sustained many injuries, but none more life-altering than the gash across her throat that nearly took her life. Without the ability to speak, she grew up on the streets into a fierce little fighter. It was this (and the fact that she looks like a beautiful boy) that drove Orochimaru to take her into the Sound Village. It was there that she met Zaku. The love Shi found with him would keep him by her side and fill her life with light, right until the end of both their days.

Kyomei--Sachio's mother. Means "to sympathize." Hansha--Sachio's little sister. Means "reflection." Oriai: Sachio's father. Means "compromise, mutual relations."
