help a girl out here
HELLO THIS IS AN OPEN RP POST FOR SHIKI please help me quench this thirst for shiki tags
POSSIBLE PROMPTS
a. welcome to ahnenerbe
[You're in a cafe. Whether you have no recollection of coming here or simply wandered in by choice, it doesn't really matter. It's certainly quaint, the atmosphere warm and inviting even without that many customers there right now. There's a menu on the table with a wide variety of desserts and coffees, or you could simply take a seat up at the counter. Regardless of where you sit though, the girl behind the counter will call out to you.]
So, what's it gonna be? [In a red leather jacket and kimono, she probably doesn't seem like she's actually working here, but ??? it's not like anyone else is asking, right.]
b. the opposite of a warm welcome
[This is where I just start laughing at meta, I'm sorry. YOU'RE TAKING A WALK DOWN THE STREET, just a regular day in your canon universe because it's peaceful and what do you have to worry about, right!! Sorry that's about to all go down the drain though.
OUT OF NOWHERE, there's a girl swiping at you with a very dangerous, very sharp-looking knife. Her eyes glow unnaturally bright blue and magenta, and it doesn't matter if you haven't even said a word to her, she's glaring daggers at you. Here's hoping you were able to dodge.]
Alright, I've had enough of this shit. Who do I have to kill to wake up this time? You? [LOOK SHE'S REALLY TIRED OF BEING A CAMEO APPEARANCE, PLEASE LET HER GO HOME AND SLEEP.]
c. wildcard me
[IDK MAN WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO JUST LET ME KNOW or i can try to think of something else that works too.]
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME please accept my terrible starter in return.......
Right. Much to her surprise, it really does pay off this time. The moment she feels it, she wastes no time in seeking it out, hunting it down. Shiki has no idea who or what it could be aside from the fact that it's dangerous, and that's just enough to put a spring in her step as she makes her way closer. Whether he tries to run, stays put, or simply doesn't even notice the murderous intent coming closer, Shiki finds him eventually.
For someone who practically radiates the desire to kill, her greeting is quite casual.]
Yo. You get lost here or something?
ITS GOOD
Instead of his void form, Shiki will see a young man with an eye bandage and a white hoodie. His visible eye gives her a blank stare: ]
Who are you?
no subject
No one special. [She says with psychic glowing eyes and bloodlust so palpable you can practically taste it. Don't mind her, she's nothing of interest!! But it's thanks to her eyes that she's sure this guy isn't human. Whatever he is, he looks tough to kill and dangerous. Perfect.] Can't say the same about you though.
no subject
Ain peers at her, showing no sign of recognition at her murderous aura. ]
Why do you care?
no subject
[Please tell her he has some fighting skills to back up his bizarre as hell lines. It's one thing to be difficult to kill, but if a fight isn't part of that, if she has nothing to stake her life against? Pointless tbh.]
IM LUAGHINGN SHES SO READY TO MURDER
But if she really does want a fight, he has no problems obliging. Whether she could pay the cost is another problem altogether. ]
What do you want?
[ All things considered, he could reap her soul. That would help absolve her from the troublesome task of trying to kill people (?). ]
LOOK SHE JUST REALLY LIKES MURDER AND RISKING HER LIFE OKAY
[LIKE. SHE'S HONEST IF NOTHING ELSE.]
HAHAHAAHAHAHH
He tilts his head. How absurd... to just want murder and nothing else. Ms. Weird really is weird. ]
And that is all?
LET A GIRL LIVE!!! (TO KILL)
Pretty much.
ok but consider: offer your soul to the void and be saved eternally
Ain considers this for a moment. While he didn't quite believe in aimless annihilation, perhaps killing her would give her some sort of mercy from inexplicable desires. A salvation in Henir away from the constraints of time...
He lets his pendulum hang in his right hand, weighing it a little. ]
Then, shall I take your soul at the end?
[ It's a fair deal, right? ]
a tempting offer..... does she get to keep her boyf tho
[Wow is that what she's fighting..... HOW COOL she's practically starry-eyed. Sadly, after having spent two years in the void of death already, she's not particularly keen on going back.]
But sorry, I'll have to pass. Dying's not exactly on my agenda.
yes if he also gets reaped, they end up in the same space
All things die eventually. Do you fear death?
[ Might as well try and suss out her agenda while he's at it. ]
this would work except she really would kill him if he touched mikiya LMFAO
[It's said easily though, without fear and as plainly as you'd say something like too much salt is bad for you. Normal. Given that she sees death everyday, in literally everything she looks at, she's sure you could only say you don't fear death if you didn't know what it truly is.]
You don't need to tell me that.
its ok he'll ask mikiya nicely
It's nothing to be afraid of. Death frees you from the physical shackles of this realm. [ Pitiful creations of the Goddess, destined to suffer and then wink out. ] Offer yourself to the void and your pain will be absolved.
[ See, he's a nice reaper. He's even bothering to smile a bit. ]
(thinking emoji)
And give up? I already saw what's in that "void," and I'm telling you no thanks.
see he's a nice guy!!
Still, he's not going to push it if she expressed her unwillingness. ]
That's fine. I'm sure you will change your mind eventually. [ Maybe he'll run into her again when she's old and dying. Most humans tend to think differently at that time. ]
However, if you wish to fight me, I cannot guarantee your body will stay here.
if only shiki ever willingly made friends (sheds a tear)
[THAT'S PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE POINT EVEN. If there's no risk, she's not interested. And what could be riskier than fighting an actual grim reaper?]
You said it yourself, right? Everything dies eventually. I'm just here to see if that's true.
:^)
Very well. Don't forget, you chose this fate of your own free will.
[ The pendulum's chain snaps into a straight line, and in the next instant it has turned into a scythe. His visage as a youth in a white hood begins to crumble, making his form a strange overlay of human and... reaper, as it were.
Of course, he won't make the first move. ]
no subject
Which is to say that Shiki wastes no time in making her move. Given that she's the challenger, it's only right, isn't it? She unsheathes her knife from behind her obi in one fluid motion before charging in, intent on swiping at his chest.]
no subject
He makes no move to block her lunge, and her dagger pierces through his chest. But there's no blood - rather, his physical form crumbles much like a piece of cloth to reveal an empty gap where flesh and blood should be.
She might want to withdraw her hand from that hole, because his scythe is coming down on her within the next few moments. ]
no subject
This time, she aims to stab his stomach.]
no subject
He lets her stab him, and the illusion of his human form shatters in part. Her knife hits blackened skin, which... doesn't really seem to be there. The blade comes out clean. ]
no subject
[Not that she necessarily has a problem with that, but she wants to see what she's really fighting against already.]
no subject
Can your mind handle it?
no subject
[Shiki "life's not worth living unless it's ON THE EDGE, ALL THE TIME" Ryougi.]
