dear_mun | Muse is excited - mun keeps telling them 4 icons isn't enough for a post

My mun saw you and then started babbling excitedly about re-reading things. You might have inspired her.

[Nagi is clearly unsure as to whether or not he considers this a good thing.]

Oh? I'd say glad to have helped, but you don't seem near as excited as I am. Is something the matter?

[Nagi is not amused by his mun. This is a normal dynamic.]

... No. If anything, shifting attention from me onto someone else would be a good thing. Aren't you friends with a demon or something?

[Kohaku doesn't get how that works, but hasn't seen the darker side of muns yet, so please forgive them. Instead, the question earns a curious look.]

Well, I guess I do. Kouryuu and Kokuyo. Why?

Just curious. The mun has 'ideas.'

[And he's being nosy.]

I guess having a demon around here would be interesting.

[Ideas? This angel isn't that dumb. So have a pout.]

Better not be Kouryu...

Why not?

[He's trying to remember more about them, but it's been a long time.]

Edited 2015-12-01 02:53 (UTC)

I don't want to get picked on.

[And boy, does Kouryu pick.]

My username is based off something he called me.

Right, that one. He's like a little kid trying too hard to act all grown up.

[Spoiled, more than anything, Nagi thinks. But definitely entertaining.]

I like the older one.

[That's an interesting way to put it. Kohaku may in part agree, but either way is smiling a bit.]

Kokuyo? He can be really scary, but Hisui-sama seems to really love him, so he must be nice too.

Muns are kind of a pain. Don't let yours just make you sit around forever.

I'll try. But she's not too bad.

[At least to Kohaku.]

Better than mine, at least.

...does this mean you're awake now? You're big again.

[ He's... actually met Kohaku in his series. ]

Well, mine isn't always nice to others, but she's really sweet to me.

[Then a curious look.]

Why wouldn't I be awake?

[Speak of the devil...]

Hey, Bubble butt! When did you get here? Broken anything yet?

[Glee. All of the glee~]

I don't break things!

[Why him? Ugh...]

You don't screw anything up? I must have the wrong angel then, because the Kohaku I remember was always making a mess somehow... and always crying or flailing, or both.

Hey, do you remember that time I put an Underworld slug critter down the back of your robes? Hah! Still cracks me up every time I think about it!

[Translation: He missed you. No, really. He just has a weird way of showing it.]

It's usually your fault I mess things up!

[Except, you know, all those times it really isn't]

And that wasn't at all funny! Those things stick and won't let go!

[Yup, flailing...]

Okay, I might help a little, but you do most of the work for me. It's almost too easy sometimes.

[He cackles.]

Are you kidding? It was hilarious! Seriously, if you think that was bad, you should try getting one out of your hair. It's almost easier to shave your hair off if that happens. [There are some levels of evil that even Koryuu won't stoop to, apparently.]

So... You're awake, huh? Did you follow Shuichiro here?

[Not that he's concerned or anything. Nope. ~~Okay, maybe a little...~~]

[Kohaku puffs their cheeks out a bit, annoyed; but, really, Kouryu has a point.]

The only one laughing was you!

[Then, a shake of the head.]

No... I haven't seen Shuichiro about... Have you?

Not yet...

[Truth be told, he actually rather likes Shuichiro, even aside from the soul thing. And despite the fact that the man turned down Koryuu's attempts at flirting pretty hard. He's an interesting human.]

I mean, it's probably just a matter of time before he shows up, though, right? He's probably already looking for you.

Well... Maybe he is. This place is kind of strange, so I won't be surprised if I don't see him.

[Which is a bit sad. And hey, we aren't discussing your fail of an attempt to seduce that Kohaku didn't see...]

But maybe he'll show up. One never knows, right?

[Oh no, not at all. Koryuu's not gonna mention it because it was such an epic fail. If he'd gotten anywhere at all, he would still be crowing about it. Really.]

Yeah... He should come find you, though. Just like Kokuyo would always come find Hisui, no matter where or how far he had to go.

You're an angel. The old man's favorite, perfectly pure and all that crap... If your human isn't moving mountains to come find you, there's something wrong with him.

[Shrug of Extreme ~~fake~~ Nonchalance.]

I mean, not that I care what he does, I'm just sayin.

[Yes, brag about it if it worked. That would have caused some strange problems.]

Eh?! There's nothing wrong with Shuichirou!

[Pause]

Is there?

I didn't-...

~~Maybe he fell down a hole and died.~~

~~Got hit by a bus.~~

~~Eaten by demons...?~~

[No. Not really. Sigh.]

[He sounds sullen when he finally opens his mouth and speaks.] I didn't mean maybe something happened to him, you ditz. I just meant that he shouldn't be waiting around for you to come back, he should get off his butt and come find you. [maaassive eyeroll] I'm sure he would, too, he's just that perfect, isn't he?

[But that's what it sounded like you meant, Kouryu. And you see the wings that seem to pop out whenever Kohaku can't control themselves? Yup, they're trembling.

Time for the birds to come scold you.]

W-well, maybe he's busy... Or, um, none of these muns have room for him??? Or something.

[Geez, really? He takes the 'nice' route - 'cause he could have tormented the angel for hours talking about all the horrible things that might have happened to Shuichiro - and he still can't catch a break. What gives?]

[Aw, man... not that look... ]

Look, for him to get over here one of these crazy muns has to pick him up. If they don't, well, he's probably better off staying where he is, rather than taking a chance on this place and maybe getting sent somewhere horrible. You'll see him when you go back, at least. You just gotta hold it together in the meantime, despite all the crap they might throw at you.

[Ugh. If he keeps up with this nice thing, he's gonna lose some serious reputation. He'll have to go kick, like, ten puppies after this to make up for it.]

[Nice route like traveling back to the present without Kohaku? That route?

Still, Kohaku blinks some and then laughs.]

My mun isn't going to do anything bad to me. Why would she?

[Don't answer that...]

[No, that was an entirely different sort of 'nice,' as in not. This is him being... well, not a complete jerk.]

[~~Maybe for the same reasons he does bad things to Kohaku? Because it's fun?~~ Eh, whatever... The angel will figure out what these mun creatures are like sooner or later.]

Well, some of us don't have sweet, innocent muns, okay? Course, most of these 'games' I've heard of don't bother me. Bring on the monsters. Or a 'sexy game'? Pfft. Is that supposed to worry me? Sign me up~

[And cue the blush, because you have to mention sexy games...]

Ah... W-well... I mean, other "muses" she might, but why would she do that with me? I mean, it wouldn't work at all!

[And Kohaku would cry. And most likely other muses would scold. And...]

Yeah, yeah, I know. You wouldn't sleep with anyone in a billion years, even if your existence depended on it. Chastity, thy name is Kohaku.

[Why yes, he does sound kind of annoyed by this.]

You're probably fine. It's not like they'd be entertained by you doing nothing but cry all the time, after all. If they put you anywhere, it'll probably be all sunshine and rainbows and kittens.

[So blunt! And quit sounding like you want to sleep with Kohaku, you know they're with Shuichirou! Good thing that isn't what Kohaku got out of all that, eh?]

I would not cry all the time!

[Bah. Like Kohaku would have ever given him the time of day, so to speak, even if he hadn't made it his job to torment the angel at every opportunity... that human is really moot. That's Koryuu's story and he's sticking to it.]

Yeah, right. A delicate flower like you?

Edited 2015-12-03 04:59 (UTC)

[Uh-huhhh....

Oh, those cheeks are puffing again.]

Jerk!

[No, seriously... Snowball in the Underworld chances there. ~~Not that he has even thought about it.~~]

Aww, careful now, buttercup, you might lose a petal getting all worked up like that.

Hmph!

[When all else fails, ignore mode is a-go!]

[Well, that's no fun. Koryuu gets bored in about three seconds flat when deprived of interaction.]

...

[He's actually unusually quiet for a few more seconds than usual.]

Hey. Kohaku.

...

What?

[Well, Kohaku is forgiving if nothing else]

[That he is. Koryuu thinks it's endlessly stupid, but... that's because he doesn't deserve it. He's a demon, all the forgiveness in Heaven won't change anything for him. He's not sorry, anyway, but sometimes...]

It's not the same at the house without you. I... liked the way things were before.

[If Kokuyo and Hisui are any indication, demon and angel aren't so far apart...

And, well, Kohaku can't help but be a little touched at the words. They'll even give Kouryu a small smile.]

Well, even if we went back there now, it would only be you and I anyway. I don't know where the others are.

But I'm glad you miss me! It means you actually care.

[Though Hisui may be trying to infiltrate headspace.]

[ooc: I know CLAMP wasn't specific with Kohaku's gender, but I may have to settle for one for writing purposes lol!]

Who knows when or even if things will be like that again.

Yeah, yeah... Well, who am I supposed to torment when you're not around? It's not like I can bother Hisui.

[That's about as close as he can get to admitting that he cares. He's trying to cover up the awkwardness by defaulting to the same old routine that he's comfortable with.]

((yeah, their angels aren't assigned a gender, but I see it as because they're kind of 'gender optional' (demons too, though they seem to have obvious preferences) so picking one pronoun or the other, or even switching between the two when they feel like it, that seems logical to me. Plus way easier to write x3))

[Too late, Kohaku has taken it as an admission of liking her, so pbbt! She's even going to ignore the Hisui thing. So have all the smiles.]

((Pretty much. Tokyopop I think did a decent job when they assigned pronouns.))

Muse is excited - mun keeps telling them 4 icons isn't enough for a post

Please forgive I only have 4 icons still... Un-chibi expressions = Somewhat hard

Oh, no worries.. Nagi doesn't have a lot, himself. He only has one expression anyway: :|

True. :D Kohaku's is 50% happy, 50% I SCREWED UP! T_T

I seem to vaguely recall that

Mine aren't the best, but I can upload them tomorrow if you'd like?

Might be better than mine. Getting mine from mangareader

I think that's where mine might be from, too. they do clean up okay though!

I'll have to see about cleaning them later :)

I need more icon space now x.x

I need chibis too! *.*
