      Frustration appears in the older Alicein’s eyes as the other begins his rebellion. With that, however, he moves over swiftly. Putting his arms on the others shoulder to sort of encourage him to lay back down – he knew Tetsu was probably physically stronger then him, but? While the other was sick, he could probably at least enforce that the other stay there.

      “You are not goin’ anywhere, Eve of Pride. If ya start movin’ around, and insist on headin’ home? You’ll only be puttin’ yourself in further danger. Right now, just concentrate on restin’. Or you’re going to be a lot of trouble for a lot of people.”

       The words were not meant to hurt the other feelings – even if the older Alicein couldn’t say he particularly trusted the boy, he knew Misono did. And that was reason enough to keep him alive at least. “Do you not have a brain, boy? You ‘ave a god-awful fever. If you try to bring yourself home right now, you’ll pass out on the road and likely be taken out by one of Tsubaki’s subclass. Do ya really want to upset your Servamp and yer friends like that?” He was scolding him now, keeping his grip firm on the others shoulder. “Until ya recover, I’m not lettin’ you leave here without a fight. I’ll subdue ya by force if I have to. Just ‘cause I don’t like you doesn’t mean I’m about to let you upset my brother that way. Right now, yer in my shop. So I’m not ‘bout to let you wonder about it and damage my property. Lay down. Stay layin’. I’ll take care of ya until we can get ya home.”

organize things... right.

      Though it was much more in his nature to just let things unfold as they would – he couldn’t just sit on his hands and do nothing when he’d seen the familiar butterfly fluttering about. Snow Lily was a dear friend of the family, and if Jeje had been around . . . Well, as the two had always worked side-by-side in protecting the Alicein family? He could only imagine that things would have escalated from there. Luckily, Mikuni was on his own today. And he’d been able to get the child to relinquish his claim on the butterfly in his possession.

      “Ah, ya never need to worry ‘bout me just leaving you trapped. Should I be in the area, I’m more then happy to help.” And, despite frequently just allowing the dominos to fall as they would – he was often around. So? With this comment, he’s more then happy to tilt his hat towards the other. A little gentlemanly gesture.

       And as Lily had been one of his family’s… “GUARDIANS,” so to say, he certainly wasn’t about to watch one of them be accidentally abducted. Despite his tendency to play devil’s advocate. “Lucky timing, though. Misono would have had a heart attack if some kid decided they were gonna keep ya again.” The funniest part was that he could – truthfully – say a g a i n. Lily, All-of-Love, was certainly a beautiful butterfly.

❛ Ne, Ana, have you ever been so hot that you started sweating ice? ❜

      “I wish.”

      The first words that left the golden-haired woman weren’t thought out at all. Instead, they simply slipped from her lips. The truth was? Anastasia hated heat. If she could do something like that just to keep her body at a naturally chilled temperature? She would fully take advantage of that skill.

      However, realizing she’d just spoken without thinking, the BRAVE of ICE laughs a little before looking over at Isanami. Wonderly, somewhat fondly - when she’d become so able to just speak her mind. “Remember when we first went to open air baths together?” She asks, laughing a little... she remembered that adventure going... somewhat poorly for a few people who couldn’t stay on their own side. “I couldn’t even stay in the water for too long… I don’t handle heat well. A skill like that would be nice, but... I would likely abuse it.”

      She could barely manage the STEAM in that place… and though open air baths are lovely, she always finds herself half BOILING ALIVE… Unfortunately. And though she can freeze the water particles in their air to form ice when she was in danger, she was more adapted to using natural bodies of water to create her weapons.

// cho hakkai - verses

{ Sanzo Party } -                   ( ver ) .mom friend╰☆╮(❝Cho Hakkai❞)

      The “responsible one,” Hakkai is often trying to help keep his group on task on their journey west. He is the driver, and often in charge of things like... making sure the group gets food, rest, and keeps on track. Despite this, he isn’t always the best a these tasks. He does enjoy his share of sideline events, such as sales at stores and the likes.

      However, despite his appearance and his general friendly attitude, he is just as ruthless as the others in his party. And if irritated, he can even be terrifying.

{ Modern Verse } -                 ( ver ) .unlucky╰☆╮(❝Cho Hakkai❞)

      It seems as though his life keeps getting thrown in strange directions - meeting a lot of interesting new characters, and wondering what exactly he’s done to deserve this amount of chaos. However, the moment he started hearing things like - “wow, i didn’t know you would associate with such people - “ Hakkai made a few choice decisions to throw his life into chaos. Moving closer to his newer friends, the ones that people were beginning to judge him for, and deciding to welcome the current “tides” life had thrown at him.

      As a teacher, it has made his life a little more difficult. However, he has found very quickly that he rather enjoys just how different the others are. At least they’re not two-faced, like the people he’d been “friends” with before.

{ Heaven } -                 ( ver ) .field general╰☆╮(❝Cho Hakkai❞)

      Tenpou’s verse! Still under construction - at least until I can finish his icons! And his portion in the bio.

// yuri kamanosuke - verses

{ Brave 10 } –                    ( ver ) .wind╰☆╮(❝Yuri Kamanosuke❞)

      The Brave of Wind, Kamanosuke has joined the rest of the Brave 10 on request of Yukimura… but? Mostly due to the fact that he’s seeking revenge and a rematch against his self-proclaimed rival, Saizou. (You know, his new leader.) Because of this? He can often be seen looking for the other, and causing trouble around Ueda Castle. A former bandit, now learning to be a member of a team… run by his rival? Yeah, this is going to end well.

{ Brave 10 S } –                     ( ver ) .hurricane╰☆╮(❝Yuri Kamanosuke❞)

      Kamanosuke is becoming restless. Peaceful times are alright, he’s calmed down some, but? Whenever the chance to fight presents itself, he becomes uncontrollable. Unmanageable. But? Despite his eagerness to fight? Despite the fact that he loves battle, it appears he’s fallen a little behind his fellow Brave’s. Be it skill, or mentality? It’s hard to know.

{ Brave 10 S (Return) } -                   ( ver ) .gale╰☆╮(❝Yuri Kamanosuke❞)

      This verse encompasses the time after Kamanosuke left the group, after his particular encounter with Saizou and up until his return during the battle with Izanami. During this time, Kamanosuke is hopeless for a time, depressed even- But? Finds unlikely help in the form of Saizou’s old teacher. With some help? The Brave of Wind has gotten much stronger, and is now returning to the others. Enthusiastic, again, about continuing his battle with the other- And actually holding a candle to him, once again. “Wait until you see me now!”

{ Bandit } –                   ( ver ) .tornado╰☆╮(❝Yuri Kamanosuke❞)

      A wandering bandit, Yuri has very few friends. Instead? He has a fairly decent sized group of bandits that he keeps himself around. People that he knows won’t judge him for looking or acting weirdly, because? He’s strong enough to back himself up, and carry the rest of them with him. It’s how he’d become their leader, and? It’s how he’s found the only safe place for him, at this moment. He’s restless, relentless, and cruel. Because? He has no reason not to be.

{ Princess } –                    ( ver ) .zephyr╰☆╮(❝Yuri Kamanosuke❞)

      A young princess in a foreign kingdom, Yuri doesn’t have a great many friends… In fact? For the most part, she appears to be avoided, due to her strange hair color, and her facial tattoo. Regardless of that fact, she doesn’t seem particularly heart-broken by her isolation. Instead, using the time to better herself, and hang around the few people who do matter to her. (Yes, this is based off the “dream” that Kamanosuke ended up having in “Brave 10.”)

{ Modern AU } –                    ( ver ) .storm╰☆╮(❝Yuri Kamanosuke❞)

      This little piece of shit? Is very rarely seen around the school grounds. A delinquent freshman, he really just… sort of does whatever he wants to. Non-surprisingly, he’s found himself in a few less than favorable scuffles with people, because of it. But? He can really find himself particularly caring. He can take a few bumps and bruises. In fact? He always appears to be ready for a fight. Even one that he’ll likely lose.

// garry - verses

{ Gallery Happenings } -                   ( ver ) .nightmare╰☆╮(❝Garry❞)

      ( This would be the canon timeline! ) Basically everything that happened while Garry and Ib where trapped inside of the artwork trying to find their way out - their lives are dependent on the number of rose petals they have, and Garry? Well, he sees things a little differently around here then Ib does.

      Some of it comes down to rational paranoia in situations like this... other parts are just him being a little bit cowardly. But? Trying hard on behalf of helping young Ib. He wants to be someone she can rely on...

{ Post-Game } -                  ( ver ) .dreamer╰☆╮(❝Garry❞)

      Having survived their crazy adventure and returned to the real world - somehow Ib was able to trigger his memories to return. At first it’d been a bit hazy, but Ib was able to pull him out of it. Nowadays he tries to keep in contact with her even still. Though, he often worries about the impression he’s making... he doesn’t just want to lose the friend he’d made through their shared chaos.

{ False Garry } -                  ( ver ) .recreation╰☆╮(❝Garry❞)

      A piece of “ARTWORK” from within the world - this “Garry” works to take the others place when given the chance to. This can ether be inside the gallery, or having been able to trick Ib into leaving with it, instead of the real one. He is different then the real Garry - having little to no fear, because it’s not really alive. So? It doesn’t respond to things the same - though it does try to from time to time, these responses seem “scripted” and unrealistic.

      When the young priestess agreed with his words – drunk or not, he found himself cringing a little. Why did he have to say it? Why had he sought her out to say it? Honestly, he couldn’t put two and two together.

      He was an idiot. That was true.

     He was emotional and irrational. He didn’t make his best choices based off of logic or anything – he did what he wanted to, and that’s what made him unreliable as the BRAVE of WIND. And, regardless of how hard he tried, he seemed like he couldn’t get any… better. He’d reached the peek of his skill and yet, his rivals all continued to grow. And with it, grew his own self-loathing. He enjoyed fighting. And to an extent, he was alright with losing. However, it seemed, more and more recently… all he ever did was lose. Again. And Again. And AGAIN. . .

      “… boring as fuck.” That was the only answer he had to Isanami’s comment: “What is life without some grief.”

      Kamanosuke enjoyed to lose to an extent. Pain was more then acceptable. The B r a v e of W i n d was an oddball like that. “But that doesn’t mean ya don’t regret it. Most people fuckin’ do. Why the hell… am I even here anymore?”

      Drunk Kamanosuke wasn’t very fun – in fact? He couldn’t help but obsess a little. Why was he here anymore? Was it still to beat Saizou? Because that wasn’t a dream in his reach anymore. Saizou kept getting stronger and stronger. The best outcome he could wish for at this point was Saizou killing him. But, at this point, the BRAVE of LIGHT and him barely had time to spar anymore… and Saizou kept shining brighter and brighter, while his wind remained the same. “I can’t… do what I wanted to do. I can’t even figure this shit out. I’m still mad. I can’t get revenge on him, and all I can do nowadays is pick on you… and… shit, even you’re getting stronger. What about me, though? I can’t… do shit. I haven’t done shit.”

      Surprisingly, tears were beginning to show up in the former Bandit’s eyes now.

       At this point – he recognized that he was weighing the team down a bit. Everyone was improving except him, and? As soon as a situation arose, it would only take moments for even their LORD to realize he wasn’t worth his weight in a fight anymore. Perhaps it was time for him to take his show on the road again. . . “If you someday surpass me, what the hell am I supposed to do about that? I-I –“ he hiccups then, pulling his legs to his chest once she’d jabbed at his forehead. An action that he barely acknowledged. His self-loathing was strong together. “Fuck, I should just go. I’m not… changing anymore. I’m not growing anymore. Why am I here still?”

      G’luck Isanami. He’s in a bit of a spiral of self-loathing. Drunk Kamanosuke has one of two moods – ether everyone is his friend and he wants more alcohol. Or? He hates himself and everything else. Today is the later.

      A hearty laugh escapes the dark-clad priest from his spot next to the ANGEL – amusement in his cynical eyes. “I don’t.” He responds, honestly. “But I do enjoy… encouraging others break the rules – I was asking for reference, so I know how long to keep you distracted.”

       It was a teasing banter from the older man. Clearly he knew the other was far past the age ( or the company ) to reinforce any sort of true curfew. Somehow he doubted that his corpse bodyguard doubled as an alarm clock of sorts. He was more then welcome to be proven wrong, but somehow, he just didn’t believe it offhand. However – that hadn’t kept the mischievous man from making the comment.

      It was funny – especially since they hadn’t seen each other in so long. “Imagine now, if I had approached you saying that line, though? Wouldn’t that have been especially funny?” He asks, lifting his glass back to his lips as his eyes drifted to the side. It was a funny thought. And, though he tended to MANIPULATE events to work out his way, the thought had only occurred to him now. ( … must be losing my touch. ) “Especially if I hadn’t recognized you at first~” A laugh escapes his lips then, humoring the idea as he nursed the drink in his hands.

      That comment was his little way of saying – I may have seriously meant the pick-up line. May have. Maybe.

      “Well, dear angel.” He pauses, shifting his gaze towards the blue-eyed young man. A smirk working it’s way to his thin lips. “You’ll find I have a preference for being the one to do the pinning, in most situations. It’s a nasty habit of mine, to need to come out on top.” Still flirting? Possibly. Who knows?
