Prompt: How would Kaede react to her s/o being the mastermind and they casually tell her that they killed Shuichi with the ‘first come first serve rule’ because he’s too smart for the killing game and felt that he was too close to her as well?
…
Shuichi had been found, dead, in the kitchen. The scene was brutal to say the least. A large knife had slit his throat and stabbed him in the abdomen.
Nobody really knew what to do. None of them actually expected a murder to occur.
Which brings up another good point: which one of them had done it? Shuichi hadn’t done anything harmful. He’d been nothing but supportive, if not rather quiet.
Everyone was on edge, knowing that someone standing among them had done this. Many were crying for a life lost. For Shuichi’s lost life or for the realization that they might lose theirs. Who knows which.
Kaede was crying the hardest; after all, she had the strongest bond with him at that point.
You turned to her and quietly asked if she wanted to go to your room to try and calm down, and she agreed. She saw no risk in going with you since you were comforting her, and also since everyone else saw the two of you leave together.
You had got back to your room and shut the door. Leaving no room for her to speak, you told her the truth. “I killed him.”
”Wha— what are you talking about??” quickly turned into “WHY??? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS???” Kaede wanted to run out and tell everyone, but you were blocking the door.
You gave her a quick rundown of what she needed to know. Shuichi was the biggest threat. You were in control of this game. You enjoyed their suffering. You ended your explanation saying that sure, she could try to tell the others, but hoe suspicious would that look? There’s no reason you would confess so openly and it would look as if she was trying to pin the blame on you.
With that, you left the room to go “investigate” with everybody. Leaving her on the ground, sobbing over the loss of both Shuchi and who she had thought of as a possible lover. You.
after an even more gigantic delay, our manga reading of vol 13!! (or the highlights of it anyway) [turn on audio]
TW GORE WARNING: we read the volume release, so Andrew’s…. situation is uncensored. It’s visible through most of 1:43-2:10 (the closeup/detail shot is 1:43-1:52) and 2:21-2:28. edit: goddamn it reverse timestamp, it’s at -2:59 to -2:31 and -2:22 to -2:15
I did another Yugioh manga recolor, this time a whole page!! I do adore the official colored version, it has a lot of colors I really enjoy but since this scene is so grim, I wanted to try my hand at recoloring it to be as disturbing of a sight I think it really would be to have an eyeball yoinked out of your head.
*slams fist on the table* WHY do we never talk about Darla and Drusilla’s significant influence and, more importantly, WHY does the show place more emphasis on the Angel and Spike?
There is more research by the Watcher’s Council done on Angel/Spike’s terrifying past deeds, while Drusilla remains mysterious, and Darla is not really discussed at all?
Angelus is set up to be like the ultimate evil, while really he is just like any other man who thinks himself all that. He, what, kills some goldfish? Talks about how clever he is and how much he can get into other people’s heads? He takes pride in ruining some random girl’s life? Spends his free time retouching his eyeliner and practicing his evil laugh? Ooh, how scary.
Meanwhile, Darla is almost twice the age Angelus is, is the only woman who has power over him, and is described as Holtz as being more psychologically damaging than others. She really knows how to punch where it hurts, and is pretty crafty and manipulative.
As for Spike, it’s considered a pretty big deal that he killed two slayers. I don’t really know why though, according to HIM every slayer has a death wish anyway so they really shouldn’t be too hard to kill. And taking almost a hundred years just to kill two? Not really impressive. And what else did he do? Oh, right, tortured some people for making fun of his poetry, or something like that.
Meanwhile, his girlfriend is one of the very few who is psychic AND has the thrall. And why don’t we ever talk about how she, too, killed a slayer, and pretty damn easily too might I add? Call it poor writing but it says something that Spike spent all his free time hunting two slayers, while Dru walks into a room, casually kills one, and strides off like it’s nothing (she doesn’t brag about it either).
Not to mention that Darla and Drusilla made Angelus and Spike the men they are today.
…
so what I’m trying to say is that Darla and Drusilla should have been given much more focus than Angel or Spike and that men are really boring.
