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.]
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.]
no subject
He sighs, a sound that echoes more in the mental plane than the physical. Black mist floods from the holes she's cut into him, dripping onto the cold tarmac and pooling around them. Blackened hands rise from the water, grasping at her legs and feet.
In contrast, his revealed form is a lurid, skeletal white. His scythe twirls around him, keeping her temporarily away while the fog tries to stuff itself into her lungs. ]
