Abryn Soelare And with a tired sigh, Abryn made his way out the exit and trudged his way home. Sure it was late, sure his home was quite a ways away from the agency, but did that really matter? Gotta get the steps in, or something like that. After what seemed like forever, he nudged the door open and set his stuff down on a nearby table, immediately falling to the couch and closed his eyes. Ugh... What a day. Cassidy Louvin With a wave to Andrea, she hopped out the door with a grin and ran her way home. All she could think about was how late she was (like she wasn't late nearly every single day, anyways). She came home frantically, nearly slamming the door shut when she finally arrived and blurted out, "Hey Papa sorry I'm-" He was already asleep, the TV still running in front of his recliner. It was a little chilly in here, was the heater not turned on? Cass quickly calmed down and grabbed a blanket for him, then made some dinner and set his portion aside so he could have leftovers tomorrow. It was quiet after she turned off the TV and dimmed the lights, but by now she was used to the loneliness. She just hoped her grandfather didn't miss seeing her too much. "'Night," Cass whispered out, walking down the hallway and into her room. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare Wait, Volkov? He didn't catch that before, but wasn't that what this kid called him? Volkov... Huh. Weird. He looked nervous. There had to be something going on here. Kid mentioned a brother, who coincidentally shared a first name and seemingly a face. Oh well, wasn't his place to poke and prod. Not his business unless someone made it his business. He leaned against the rail and crossed his arms as they spoke, feeling a little bad for the one struck with such disappointment. Few years, huh? "Alright, well-" He began to walk away, back down the stairs and towards the exit, "Good night you two, I'll be on my way." [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare The man let out a painfully honest laugh at Aleksandr's bleak and pessimistic comment, finding it very much relatable. "Can ya complain, huh..." Abryn was immediately shushed by the noise as well, perking up and turning in the direction of the curses and watching as the one beside him walked back up the way they came. He decided to follow, briefly adjusting his bangs before stuffing his hands back into his pockets and stepped forward with a hesitant curiosity. The kid that had passed them earlier was hunched over, a wave of confusion and concern came upon Abryn as he stopped at the top, not too far behind Aleksandr and Iliya. A moment passed since the one hunched over called out Aleksandr's name, and the latter had yet to move. He seemed to freeze on the spot, only adding to Abryn's concern. "Hey, everythin' alright?"

Abryn Soelare Abryn was somewhat lost in thought the entire time, just going along with whatever the guy dragging him was doing. Hell, he almost didn't notice the frantic intern who almost rammed straight into the two until he heard a small chuckle from Aleksandr. "So. How's your day?" "Hm?" He turned his head to face theirs, eyebrows raised as if he didn't catch what Aleksandr said. He did, of course, guess he was just caught a little off guard by the question is all. Out of the blue, completely casual, as if nothing had happened only moments before. "Oh! Well, same old same old, y'know? Nothin' like going to work every morning, doin' the same ol' mundane task all day, having a dreaded orientation canceled by some idiotic kids picking a fight, and getting caught up in it by yet another idiot provoking a higher-up, right?" Abryn let out a small laugh before a sigh, straightening out his expression as he did so. "Eh, guess you could say it's alright. So, what about you?" [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare "Is it Valentine's Day perhaps, or is today simply dedicated to pissing off one's seniority?" "If you're not pissing off your boss, are you really doing your job right?" He jokingly retorted, a challenge rising up in his voice. Y'know, considering he was the oldest here, you'd think Abryn would have some maturity and know not to do dumb stuff like this. Sadly, his personality was that of a 90s school bully with a heart. "Don't you have somewhere else to be, Soelare?" He cocked his head to the side, pouring sarcasm into his demeanor before he spoke. "Let's see... Done with my job for today, I'm being told to screw off, there totally wasn't just a random gunshot a few moments ago... Ah! You mean going home, drinking my sorrows away, then come back to work tomorrow with a hangover? Man, unfortunately for you, the good stuff's all outta stock, what a shame right?" God he was such an idiot. Before anything else could be said, he felt his sleeve being tugged by Aleksandr with a somewhat urgent tone following suit. Alright alright fine..." He grumbled, saluting a goodbye to Michon with two fingers and a dumb grin as he left. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare ...Y'know what? He didn't need to do anything. Abrn just found that sitting in the back and watching the chaos ensue was good enough. Maybe if he was in a good mood he would've actually done something but... Eh. Well, the meeting was canceled, looked like everyone was going home. The guy felt a little bad for the kids, the horror of being expelled was a different kind of fear to say the least. But this dumbass on the other hand... Abryn liked him, Aleksandr and Michon's exchange was funny as hell to say the least. He walked up to the former, who was just taking their pills, and gave him a pat on the shoulder, a devious grin plastered all over his face. Well, hope Narcisse was prepared to deal with yet another stupid one's comments. "Awww, c'mon chief! Can't just set em up to a back and forth like that then finish him off with such a dumb blow, is chivalry dead to you or somethin'? Now, obviously I'm in no place to be talkin', but y'know..." Huh. Weird, the kid just pulled a 180. Eh, whatever. "Loosen up a bit, wouldja?" Cassidy Louvin "Hmm... Well yeah, I guess I wouldn't..." She said thoughtfully, for some reason. Actually most of the men she knew were either old and innocent, children, or not a problem. Let's just say she was a little innocent and had an overfilled glass of that life juice. There seemed to be a tinge of sorrow in her voice, like the ideas Andrea threw out made her look at a perspective she wasn't quite fond of seeing. Rohypnol... Scary stuff, but hey, got the job done, right? Hm... Yeah no, Andrea totally wasn't scary. Anyways, the light immediately returned to her eyes as Andrea proposed a fair exchange. Spending more time alongside her while she was free? Getting a little sneak peak at the lab while they were at it? "Ooooh, sure! Count me in!" "And try not to fluster and stutter. It’s cute, that’s for sure, but won’t leave a good impression on your work partners." Cass suddenly faltered, the whimsical air that surrounded her attitude drastically dropped in a second. Ah. Right. Composure. Can't get too caught up in things, can't get ahead of yourself, don't get carried away, remember how to act- Yeah, yeah she knew. Right. She may have been in a decent position at this place for some time now, but she knew that even here her personality didn't exactly clash with some very well. Yet another reminder she still had work to do. Cass's eyes landed on Andrea's hand as she nodded in understanding, starting with a deep breath. "...Yes ma'am, I'll keep that in mind. I 'preci-" Huh. While they were talking, people had begun to leave already. Looking out the windows, it was... Already dark. Oh well wasn't that lovely. Cassidy checked her watch as her eyes widened. "Oh shoot the time- I need to cook dinner soon! Sorry to leave so abruptly Alia, but I'm glad we met. I'll definitely take you up on that offer though, thank you for the fun conversation!"

You Are My Sunshine Trigger Warnings - Alcohol, self-harm, suicide, TBA Final Word Count - TBA Writer's Note(s)  Show
hidden content
Based on an idea that Serendibite requested, I
wanted to write a romance-themed short story so here I am. I'm
never good with romance but screw it why not lmao
They say a person sees color for the first time when their hands intertwine with their soulmate's. Children are born with a blissful innocence, allowing them to see colors in their own way. Some are lucky enough to not be bound by the red string of fate, living their life with no need to find a soulmate that doesn't exist. Many could go their entire life colorblind, believing it all to be an illusion or hoax, or simply gave up on the fantasy of finding the one. My world fell into a grey abyss almost two years ago. The glass in my hand has been my only friend since, the only color left in this world. A faint yellow tint in a small glass, occasionally a hazy red, is all I see, and even then it has faded away. Two years ago, I came home from an eventful shopping trip, a light still shone in my young eyes. Two years ago, I came home to find the walls splattered a dark grey with my husband laying motionless in the corner of the dull, lifeless living room. For the first time in forever, I saw a world without color, and the man I once loved laid in the center of it all. Fate's sharp and cruel blades had snapped the string that day, and I have been a husk ever since. A husk who had read those monochrome letters on a gradually dampening paper, not even a foot away from his corpse. It was a suicide note, a note written with guilt and pain embedded in every stroke, but the most painful of all were the words written out at the bottom. "A world with color only highlighted the blood it was tainted with. Even with a vision, all I saw was pain, and for that I am so sorry. If only I could've loved you more, Dalli." They say that once your soulmate dies, you only exist to entertain fate's cruel game, living life as you once did before. Only the naive still chase after the color they bathed in not too long ago, desperately clawing at any crumb they were given. Only the naive believe that there is still a red string dangling for them, another soulmate they can chase after to fulfill their life once more. Those that have given up on chasing would have mostly turned to alcohol or other substances, giving them a brief and twisted window into the world everyone around them saw for even just a moment. There are many who can't bear to live in such a dull world any longer, resorting to one final hope that they'll see once again in the afterlife. In these two years, I have yet to become as desperate as my husband. I have become much more cynical and negative though, the blood-tainted world that he had written about was slowly bleeding into my mind the more I lived without the rose-colored glasses. The soulmate based society laid its foundation on jealousy and desperation, far too many took advantage of the blind and took their anger out on those who could see. I don't know why I still decide to live in such a world, no hope of ever living the same again and drowning my sorrows with alcohol, but I do. "Thanks for the night, Trace." My voice echoed dully across the bar countertop, followed by the light tap of my foot as I hopped off the stool and wobbled to the door. I, as usual, was the last person here for the night, staying while the bartender cleaned up as some sort of entertainment for him. I didn't mind, even drunk it was nice having conversation with someone you knew. "Careful heading home, alright?" He called back, over the faint ring of the bell over the door as I pulled it open. I left with a small wave and a "mhm" under my breath, letting the door swing closed as I groggily put one foot in front of the other and headed home. I flicked my wrist upwards, checking my watch [ WIP ] [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Each time you speak of her name, it invokes an eldritch rage from the very pits of hell. Another kernel is popped, another dust bunny is haunted by her unresting soul. Take caution in the names you speak, for the dead can still hear the call. And she just wants a nap, stfu about her -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Solaro. Solaro did it, huh? He glared back at the bear and scoffed, finding this all to be some deranged s**tf**kery. God, can't catch a break, huh? Solaro wasn't denying it either. She was getting defensive. And then there was this goddamn incentive. Someone needed to die, someone needed to be the killer, or the consequences would ruin them all. As little as he cared about this whole thing, based on the bear's track record... Well he didn't want to find out what would happen. But that meant two more would fall victim to this game. Then the bear spoke once more. Looks like it hit a nerve in Miyako, but Akari couldn't be bothered to pay attention. He didn't know what the hell was going on, and he certainly wanted no part in it. "Headmaster, if it turned out someone killed themselves, would it... count? Just... hypothetically." Hypothetically? Hypothetically? He knew damn well what Lucian was talking about. The hell was he thinking? Right after the s**t he pulled yesterday too? Jesus Lucian, we get that you're an edgy mfer but seriously? "Lucian, no." Akari's voice was stern, and he turned to look directly at him. [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- iz dat vedduy phazbur, iz dat boff vedduy phazburs also stop tryin to be edgy akari, you're not that guy -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- They looked startled. S**t... The hell was he thinking? Acting out of nowhere? Out of some sort of denial, or anger? This wasn't the first time he'd seen a body, this wasn't the first time this even happened at the school. He had no hope to begin with, he knew how this game was going to end. He shouldn't be doing this. Sawyer didn't even do anything. You shouldn't care about a little blood, Akari. A measly corpse shouldn't mean anything to you. Death knocks at the door once again, it'll always be following in your footsteps. Did you really think things would be different here? Did you really think there was some chance this could end? That little optimist sure is rubbing off on you, hm? Did you really believe that blatant lie that nobody else would get hurt? That you could be a better person? That you could help instead of hurt? Grow up, Akari. He backed off. He took a step back, distancing himself from Sawyer as best as he could. He couldn't trust himself. What if that one s***ty move alone did something? What if he was a little more aggressive than he thought? "S-sorry, I didn't-... I didn't mean to-" Sleeping. Sawyer thought Akora was sleeping. That bold delusion was something Akari could only wish he had. "She... Is she a veterinarian, Akari?" He sat in silence for a bit, looking back at the bloodied corpse. He couldn't look at Sawyer right now. Not right now. "...Was." That was all he could say. He couldn't explain it to them, not like it mattered. They were too far gone in the illusion, and he would feel guilty for trying to rip them out of it. It already backfired in the past, he wasn't going to try again. There was a thin line Akari was walking right now, a thin layer of restraint that was already tearing at the seams. That damn bear wasn't helping in the slightest. "Puhuhu~ how delightfully despairful! Mere hours before the prom, the first body is discovered! What a tragedy! How terrible for you all!" Anger boiled in him, but he did nothing to act on it. How insufferable. How could that bear get any worse. What an absolute mockery. But aren't you the same? You laughed seeing her body. But I was- You still laughed. You relished in the thought. Believed you were finally free. You only regretted it when she became your very nightmares. The words repeated in his head, that annoying tone of the robotic bear etched into his memory. The words... The words... "The first body is discovered" The first body? Is there another? "Well done! The killer has truly outdone themself. This murder is practically unsolveable! Clean cut, a nice alibi, and a thousand people to frame! I applaud them, truly! What an excellent performance on their part." Oh god. He couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge the existence of the horrors in front of his eyes. Only the words rang in his head. "Behold! Murder number three! The tragedy of a double murder, two bodies laid across the other! How delightfully despairful!" ...Two? No way... It was only Akora though, right? The only people not in the cafeteria right now were Darcy, Kubo, Saeko, and Idris, were they... Were they all safe? Was Monokuma just pulling s**t out his ass? Setsuna seemed to notice it too. Only one body. The hell was the bear talking about? Talking as though a specific schedule had to be followed, the hell? "Can you shut up already?" He directed towards the bear, a slight growl in his voice but it was masked by the shakiness. He had his fists balled up inside of his coat pockets, and he would've definitely thrown hands if he wasn't so intimidated by such perfect form. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare "YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" Oh lovely. First thirty minutes of being here and some idiots were already bickering and getting physical? Honestly... What did he expect? Not like this was uncommon, people having their disagreements and all, but seriously? Here of all places? this early too? Abryn was just about to have a nap, already bored of the seemingly random conversations happening all around him that he couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to. That yell was just startling enough to disturb him, never to return to that blissful slumber again... He took one last sip from his mug of coffee before hoisting himself off the chair with a sigh, his movements already somewhat groggy. Abryn took a moment to stretch his back before stuffing his hands into his coat pockets, then made his way to the commotion. Jesus... Bunch of teenagers talking with their fists. He recognized one of them, Andreja, figuring the rest were probably interns. Not surprising, she was a bit of a hot-head, but the time it took for her to get into trouble was. He stood before the two, looking over at the much younger bystander before glaring back at the WWE fighters. "Aaaaalright, break it up you two..." Cassidy Louvin Oh yeah. She completely forgot that she was supposed to be scary, honestly. This was one of the first times Cass actually interacted with Andrea, never really having the chance to due to being in far different departments. Although... Now that she thought of it, she heard a bit of chit chat every now and then about how intimidating she really was. Oh well! That never stopped her before, maybe Andrea wasn't as scary as everyone said, right? Orrrr maybe, just maybe Cass was oblivious enough to be one of the lucky ones. The thought that Andrea would probably kill anyone else didn't even come into her mind. Less annoying, huh? Those words sent a small tinge of pain into her heart, but the goofy smile still remained. She was always told about how her eccentric and outgoing attitude was a pain in the ass to deal with, but... At least she wasn't being shooed away, or worse, smacked, right? Cass went a little bug-eyed at the comment about men screaming, a little shocked and taken aback, but over all still fascinated. Really driving the whole "supervillainess" vibe home there, aren'tcha? Cass thought it was cool, as made obvious by the lack of any self-preservation and continued attachment to her new buddy. Even if the term was a bit one-sided. Fun little quirks made people unique, y'know? It was always great to run into someone this fun and interesting. "Prey?" She watched with a small laugh as Andrea made those gestures. "Oooh, how frightening~" "Alright, noted! Hope I can return the favor and all, show my 'preciation, y'know?" Cass was probably grinning ear to ear by now, smiling so much it would make the Joker jealous. Been a while since anyone other than her family and small children made such a meaningful interaction with her. Sure, there were others here who knew her and all but they usually never... Let's just say "met on good terms." Speaking of good terms, was that a nickname she heard? Alia. Damn that was a neat one. Better than Cass, honestly... "Alia..." She repeated, "I like it!" Speaking of nicknames, Andrea sure was using quite the variety for Cass. She didn't mind being called "darling" and "cutie", honestly. Plus, made the conversation more relaxed, somehow. The compliments kept rolling as well, flustering Cassidy even more. And the confidence? Andrea clearly took pride in her work and wasn't afraid to show it, Cass admired that, and honestly wished she could do the same. Sure she wasn't all that hard on herself and all, she knew she was going far in her line of work based off age and skill alone, but it still felt a little wrong to be proud of it. She was just doing what she wanted to do, doing what she was told, meeting standards, right? Didn't feel all that special, but if someone like Andrea thought it was "not too shabby," then who was she to say otherwise? "I-" Deep breaths Cass, it shouldn't be possible to be this flustered. "Uh... Thank you! Just doin' my best, heh. I think you're doin' pretty good yourself!" [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- was that the bite of 87 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Akari simply sat in silence that entire time, gazing worryingly at Sawyer. Chop chop chop, that's all they did. A few words here and there, them reassuring that they were supposedly alright. "Sawyer!" That even startled Akari. The tension had been building, the rhythmic chopping and lack of response from Sawyer didn't help either. Then the knife fell. Clattered to the floor. The metallic ring of the blade hitting the tile, it wasn't a new one. Goddammit. He stayed in silence, unsure whether or not his involvement would make things better or worse. He didn't know what to do, not like he ever did anyways. Oh well, before he could wallow in his own sorrows for too long, that damn bear spoke up once again. "Ding dong ding~ puhuhuhu! It's time for lunch time, kiddos! Gotta keep in tip top shape if you want to escape~ and enjoy your MURDEROUSLY delightful prom tonight!" "Better hurry up~ I think you'll find something very interesting there..." Well... They were already kinda there. How unfortunate, Akari wanted to stay away from any of this as much as he could. Not only that, prom was mentioned again. Oh lovely. The time only drew closer and closer, and Akari had the creeping feeling that he wouldn't be able to get out of it this time. He tried do desperately to put it out of his mind, forget about it all, hope that he wouldn't have to endure whatever hell Monokuma had planned, but guess things weren't that easy. They never were, after all. Why can't I forget? Do things really have to be so cruel? He decided to stay where he was, no point in clambering over to fall into another one of Monokuma's sick tricks. Last time that happened, Horatia was found Gojo'd and things crumbled apart. But the recollection brought a new thought to his mind. What could this "interesting thing" possibly be? Another hint? Another sick game, like those damn secrets? Another body? "...sounds like prom might be a... Bit of a bust." Akari pretty much breathed a sigh of relief, although he hoped it wasn't too obvious. Thank God. But Lucian looked uneasy. He felt a little bad, unable to have any sort of positive influence, but at the moment... Even bothering to try didn't seem worth it. The pasta was handed out, and Sawyer continued on with their shenanigans. Akari wasn't exactly quick to dig in, almost stalling to take the first bite. Sawyer, on the other hand, was just staring at the plate mindlessly. It was... honestly troubling to see. And the announcement didn't make it any better. just as he was about to start eating, the intercom flared to life once again and rang that horrid alarm throughout the whole school. "A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! EVERYONE PLEASE GATHER IN THE CAFETERIA!" No... God, no... What the hell...? He completely froze, the news once again sending a shock throughout his entire body. There was a corpse in the room right next to them, and they didn't even know. A murder happened right under their noses once again, and they didn't even know. Lucian looked like he was on the verge of breaking down. Couldn't say he didn't feel the same, but he looked rough. He felt guilty for all of this, he was the one so desperate for a happy ending. Hell, he even made a promise or two about how this would never happen again. God, at this point... "...oh... I guess... It's... happened again...I failed... Again. Someone... Else is dead... Why... Why... why...?" "...Lucian, I-" What was he supposed to say to that? He wasn't even sure what the hell was going on himself. He couldn't comfort Lucian, it would all be filled with empty lies anyways. He couldn't, he just couldn't- But then his eyes landed on Sawyer. They were walking out of the room, towards the cafeteria. Sawyer. Sawyer "...guess... We should... Go." Yeah. Yeah, they should. Before Akari knew it, he was following the Ultimate Loremaster into the Cafeteria. It can't be, right? There's... No way they could've... Right? The body was right there. Akora, the Ultimate Vet. The haunting glow of sunlight illuminating her corpse, a smile covered in bruises and blood, all right there. They were dead. They had been murdered. Sawyer. They had a look in their eye again, a terrifying one. First it was confusion. Not shock, not horror, not disbelief, confusion. Sure kept up with their track record, but the look that followed after... It was even worse. Familiarity. Sure, they were looking at a former fellow classmate. Surely they had to be confused due to the memory loss. Surely they were just trying to figure out just what they were looking at. But he couldn't stop himself. He was tired, overcome with exhaustion, bewilderment, resentment, fear. He was making the wrong choice, he was doing something that he would regret. He didn't need another regret in his life, he didn't need more trouble. Yet he always started his own problems. He grabbed Sawyer's shirt and pulled them away, glaring deep into their oblivion-filled eyes. It can't be, it can't be them, it can't, right? "The hell is going on with you, huh?! The hell is this?! What the-" No. God no, right? It... No- What the hell am I doing...? He backed off. His sharpened glare deep into Sawyer's soul that had been filled with anger and confusion had suddenly turned into regret. Remorse. He let go of their shirt, but didn't move an inch. "What the f**k happened here...?" [ wooooowwww angsty akari that's completely out of character, gotta love it, woooooo so cool ] [Read more] |

Cassidy Louvin “Cassidy Louvin, our young, bright mind. How may I assist you?.” Woah. Scary. But at the same time, so frickin cool. The tone sent shivers down Cassidy's spine, and hearing her full name added to the unexpected shock factor. Also, woah oh, confidence alert, did she just get a compliment? Sure she was a little young for the field but I mean... Y'know what, Cass, just take the compliment. Her face brightened and if her eyes were actually open, they would've sparkled. ...Why did she have them closed again? Oh yeah, to negate the scare factor that weirdly... Had the opposite effect. Well, Andrea's notion immediately flared her embarrassment as she fluttered her eyes open, only just now feeling the stupidity of her little plan. Oh well, you live and you learn. Cass's eyes soon fell upon Andrea's face, and the sight alone ended up leaving her astounded. Come on Cassidy, you're doing a really bad job at this. "O-oh! Just wanted to say hi, y'know? Can't pass up the opportunity to chat with someone who catches your eye! Hope I'm not too much of a bother though, heh-" A little nervousness was showing, but it was more of a flustered nervous than an intimidated one. Like a fan meeting their favorite artist, or something. Cass was still obviously enthusiastic about all of this though, like a child high on sugar. She just hoped she didn't look like one. But wow. She looked different up close, somehow. The confident aura probably helped, but still. Hey, she wasn't complaining, Cass appreciated good looking people. Luckily, the topic was diverted to the wine she possessed. Cabernet Sauvignon, huh? Wasn't that your typical, every day bottle? Interesting, but definitely respectable. Ah who was she kidding, she knew almost nothing about alcoholic beverages, as confirmed by Andrea's comments. "Aww, that's alright ma'am! Totally fine with it, I'm content with my coffee and lemonades!" She let out a light-hearted laugh, completely oblivious to the undertones Andrea slid between her words. ...Although the sudden inclusion of "ma'am" struck her with embarrassment once again. Was that weird? It was a casual conversation, right? Was it appropriate? Was Andrea even considered a "higher-up"? Well yeah, she was older and all, most people here were anyways, but still... Couldn't turn back now, I guess, too late to worry about it at this point. “You’re interesting” “And talented to” Wooooaahhh... Another one? "I-" She honestly didn't know what to say to that, she was just smiling like an idiot. "T-thank you! Y'know, you're pretty talented and interesting yourself, I've heard about the contributions you've made in the lab. Man, I could never, props to you honestly!" [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare Ah, what a time to be alive. A gathering! At 7! A meeting! With a bunch of people he already knew! God it was too early for this. Too early in the morning or too early for a drink, the writer did not know. Oh well, sucks to be him. Lovely speech by the way, round of applause. Truly the greeting of a generation. Ah who was he kidding, it was Mawer, couldn't expect anything else from them. Abryn had made his place at a lone chair, watching the chaos from beyond. Now, normally he was quite the greeter, always one of the first faces people saw in their day whether they liked it or not. But today... Eh... Let's just say he was a little grumpy today. He woke up to immediately receiving the consequences of his actions, and by that I mean sleeping in a slightly different position than what his body comfortably allowed. Not only that, he somehow made his coffee wrong this morning. Oh whoopsies, accidentally dumped orange juice in there instead of creamer! Don't ask how that happened, he couldn't tell you. Even with his grumpiness, he still showed up today, totally not because he had to. Sure he might not be one of the major, fancy schmancy faces of the agency simply making calls and filing papers, but I guess his job was pretty important, or whatever. Important enough for people to know his name, important enough to get occasional glances while he sat alone like a loser. Some of those glances turned into glares, looks of disgust from the newbies, some were bewildered. Overall, not many of the looks were normal. At least, not much from the newcomers. Those that had been here for a while didn't give him much trouble, honestly, they were used to him by now. Respected his work and all that, I guess. Why do I care? Right. Why did he care? They were just looks. Just looks, nothing more, nothing less. Cassidy Louvin Woah. There sure were a lot of people here. Cass never got used to it, but that's alright! It was the kind of thing that awed her instead of making her uneasy. ...Right? Anyways, she found herself wandering around the small crowd. smiling like an idiot and waving to literally anyone that dared to look in her direction, or even be within her line of sight. Dropped the occasional overly cheerful greeting and flashed her toothy grin, y'know, the usual. Now, why was she so energetic? Not much was even going on, yet another orientation was later, and... She never found anyone worth blabbering on and on about to. She was probably blind though, not looking hard enough, which wouldn't be out-of-the-ordinary for her. On that note... Somebody finally caught her eye! It was your local vampire, or classic villainess, pick your poison. A bright red liquid swirled in their glass as they looked upon them all, scaring away any of those who dared to approach. Well well well, sounds like a challenge! Good luck scaring Cass off, uh... What was her name again? Andrea? Probably from the forensics department. Anywho, Cass was now determined to make some terrible decisions. She put on a big warm smile, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Cass marched on over with a wave and arrived with a giggle, totally didn't look absolutely stupid! Her eyes were still closed, with the logic of "if I don't see the scary expression, then I won't get scared!" "Heyyy, Andrea, was it? Wooowww, how you doin? Ooh ooh, what typa suspicious beverage you got there? AB+, O-, blackberry, cranberry... Wow, the possibilities are endless! Bet the mystery adds to the edgy coolness, huh?" All of that was amazingly stupid yet also so... Sincere. Like puppy doll eyes, but with words. Oh well, prepare to get smacked regardless, Andrea looks like a cat person anyways. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare Show
hidden content
Name: Abryn Soelare Gender: Male Age: 38 Birthday: August 9th Role at the Agency: Secretary Personality: Abryn is a simple enough guy, typically lighthearted and easy to get along with. He is good at his job, his memory and logic skills are undeniable, and he's quick to react to any situation. He is highly secretive though, and seemingly any conversation dealing with information is treated like a game to him. He can be a bit too playful at times, becoming a pain if you're an impatient or straightforward person. While not easily irritated or angered, he can become blunt and arrogant when he is. Abryn is the type to hold grudges indefinitely, big on first impressions, and loves to tease and toy with those he isn't fond of. He does have a more tame side though, if anyone gets him to be personal, that is. His secretive nature makes it almost impossible to know him outside of what he actively displays, and his past is an absolute mystery to most. He'll even lie about it from time to time if he sees fit, as he finds it easy to tell small white lies. Sure he's an honest person, seeing no reason to lie about most things (even when he probably should), he just finds it easy to make something up without remorse. Anyways, he seems to be a little hard on himself, some can even catch him casually putting himself down like it's something he hears everyday. Abryn gets defensive at times when asked personal questions, always insistent on changing the subject if the topic at hand is unfavorable to him. Personality Type: How am I supposed to know Description: Picrew []Height: 5'11 []Weight: ~150 lbs []Skin Tone: Light Beige []Hair Style: Chin-length, confined but still messy and thick. Curtain bangs are neatly parted, although his right eye is often covered. []Hair Colour: Pale blonde, fading at the roots and a few gray-ish streaks are showing []Eye Colour: Pale rose []Clothes: Dark, casual button up collar shirt under a black lab-coat-like jacket with black, loose khaki pants and casual sneakers. []Accessories: Abryn is part mechanical, so he is not a fully organic human being. A section of his face above and including his right eye is replaced with a metal plate and a fake eye. He still wears glasses though, and has a small scar on his nose. He wears a necklace with what seems to be a wedding band on it around his neck. []Other: History: Abryn was always interested in the sciences and human anatomy, even becoming a fairly successful orthopedist and prosthetist (somewhat, it was more of a side interest) before joining the agency. He always had a simple and easy life, married his high-school sweetheart, and lived pretty comfortably, not much to note about it. He had a close-knit group of friends that was interested in similar fields, and they often worked together and did their own projects from time to time. They all eventually became interested in the quick uprising of technology and decided to experiment with it. Abryn insisted on being the first volunteer, requesting that the group start off with an altercation to the mind. The more neuroscience member of the bunch had initially made the suggestion, and they all decided to start off with memory. Bing bang boom, I'm not gonna act like I know what I'm talking about, but in the end the successful experiment led to Abryn having a computer-like memory. In turn, this also led to him having a vast amount of resources and knowledge to his disposal, more than one would think possible to say the least. Abryn always had poor eyesight, being only able to see the difference in colors and unable to tell where one object ends and another begins without glasses. He decided to alter his eyesight and enhance it beyond a normal level, one eye at a time. He did this so that there could be a period of time where he could see the difference between his typical eyesight, made normal with glasses, and the artificial sight. Sure it gave him a headache, as he had also altered his mind to accommodate for his heightened vision and his typical sight had trouble keeping up. At that point though, he became corrupt, obsessed with the knowledge and strived to take the project to its limits. His friends saw the loss in humanity and reasoning and refused to take it any further, shutting the whole thing down and even broke contact with him. His wife eventually did the same, in fear of who he had become, leaving him after desperately trying to talk some sense into him. Abryn still isn't over the unofficial divorce, leading to a hesitancy of a new relationship or even trying to get back into contact with anyone he was close to. After the incident, he also grew a resentment for his passion and who he became because of it. He blames himself for a lot of things and actively hides any noticeable non-human feature, as it tends to spark an unwanted conversation. Sexuality: Bisexual, although his relationship status is... Complicated. Voice Claim: Don't clown on me but Robert Pattinson, specifically from The Batman Cassidy "Cass" Louvin i'll somehow find a way to make her edgy, no matter how hard i try not to :') Show

Name: Cassidy Louvin, goes by Cass or Cassy though Gender: Female Age: 17 Birthday: April 14th Role at the Agency: Investigative Assistant Personality: Cass is your typical cheerful, bubbly, clumsy mess that absolutely loves people.

She is extremely genuine and gentle, great at warming people up and is currently the number 1 champ at making friends, totally didn't make that up. She can sometimes get a little too excited and begins to fumble, speaking too quickly, getting overwhelmed, cheeks hurt from the smiling, becoming careless and clumsy, all that stuff.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "I'll be here if you need me, okay?" Not again... He said that before, didn't he? Tried to give Akari reassurance, a shoulder to lean on, allowing him to be vulnerable, but... No, he couldn't. Not again, not again. He simply stood in this little spot in the kitchen, leaning against the counter and keeping to himself. There wasn't much he wanted to say after that, he only just got lost in thought. His head hurt, he was tired. His irritated eyes really made sure he knew it. "Mom?" "Mom, is that you?" Akari almost jumped, but still jolted awake from his dozing after hearing the sudden words spoken from the entrance. "Jesus, who-" He muttered under his breath, looking towards the location of the intruder. Huh. It was Sawyer. Been a while since he last saw them, not ever since... The kitchen incident, right? Funny how that works. Well, he didn't recall ever seeing them, but Darcy... They looked confused. There was a lost look in their eyes, a somewhat blank expression plastered on their face. The way Sawyer spoke, the way they just looked so... Confused, it was concerning to say the least. Lucian had already tried talking to them, Akari only stood back in silence. He wasn't sure exactly what he could do, didn't exactly think he could be useful anyways. Well, that is until his name was mentioned. Lucian said they were making pasta "together" “Oh, right! I met you… a little earlier, right? How… long ago? Akari!” “Great to see you, friend! Did you say… pasta?” Akari was a little lost for words, unsure of how to take the situation. "Uh... Hey..." He held his hand up for a small wave, his expression not exactly matching the welcome. Admittedly, he was a little confused as well. "Everything... Alright, Sawyer?" He hesitantly asked, watching as Sawyer miserably failed to handle a knife. Failed to handle a knife, huh? Then... The hell was that look for? From what he saw of this impossible optimistic, Akari didn't think that them and knives had anything to do with each other. So then... Why the look of familiarity? Sure, he didn't cross the thought of Sawyer having experience with cooking out of his mind, that would be a reasonable explanation [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Akari immediately noticed the sudden change in mood upon answering, guilt falling upon Lucian's face as he muttered a reply. "...oh... I..." Great, now he felt bad. Couldn't even have a simple conversation without it becoming all depressing, huh? "S-sorry, I just... Y'know-..." "...Akari, I know there's... not much of a chance, but..." "maybe there... is a way out. that we haven't considered yet." He shut his mouth, looking away towards the floor, almost in a sense of guilt. He had already given up any sign of hope, even long before coming to Hope's Peak. Even his original plan before coming here was depressing, just come for the studies, then go back to his job and do the same thing every day like he always did. Akari really didn't want Lucian having that hope for him. It would've been wasted, left the poor guy more hurt than need be. Couldn't he just keep to himself? Just for once? Why the hell did people just randomly start caring for him like this, only to end up broken in the end? ...Why? Why did they care so much? Why couldn't he just get them to stop? Why did you care about me...? "...I'm... sure you'll get out of here, somehow, Akari. I believe in you." His heart sank. How was he even supposed to reply to that? Anything he'd say would just make the mood more depressing than a funeral, unless he lied of course. Before he could stop himself, a slew of words slipped through. "Lucian it's..." He pulled his arm up to rest behind his neck. "Not that I don't think I can, it's just..." He took a deep breath and sighed. "I don't want to." "...maybe... you and everyone else... can make it out of here. we just haven't found the answer yet." God... Why was he so insistent? How did he have so much hope? How could he so blindly and selflessly care about people he hardly knew? How could he- Doesn't he know how much it kills you in the end? He sighed and bowed his head. "...Yeah. Maybe..." "...is... there anything you'd like to eat? I was going to make pasta, but..." Yeah, probably best to move on. Lucian was trying his best and he just had to be a depressing jerk about it. He didn't really have a preference, really, and he couldn't be in the mood for a specific meal if he... well, wasn't exactly in the mood to eat anything anyways. "Pasta is fine, I guess." "...Need any help?" [Read more] |
