OC POST

[formidable]

MUSELIST Photo Credit: nameless-table This a post where it's mainly my OCs and there are various scenarios, mostly having to do with the Midnight Grind Cafe, owned by Iona Jacqueline Oakes and her mysterious handsome golem man, Oren. Their cafe connects to almost every universe so a lot of silly stuff can happen. I'll write some prompts for my OCs or we can plot together and go in another direction. You can contact me at maiscribbles or my Discord (Fujinon#6780). Have at it! ➢ Cool Mood Music No. 1 ➤ Cool Mood Music No. 2

[That little mark was something that he thought was a cute tattoo. But given how she made a gesture like that, Kojirou had quietly assumed that there might've been more to it. He decides to make a note of it for now.]

If you don't mind me asking... What exactly happened? Was your first "death" how you discovered that power?

[nerine]

I should clarify. I didn't know I couldn't die, but I did know I didn't stay hurt for long. I did know for sure I had "powers" if that's what you like to call it. More like perks if you ask me.

[Her face is grim as she bluntly says:]

Anyways. The first time happened when I got pushed down the stairs and got my neck broken.

[privatenoeyes]

[Even he couldn't hold back a bit of emotion as he looks at her with a flash of concern mirrored in his eye. It's for a brief moment before it's hidden underneath his hair bangs again.]

Wait... Someone literally pushed you down the stairs?

[nerine]

It was ah... A disagreement.

[It was a group of "friends" no, more like acquaintances and in their mixed boy and girl group, one girl was clearly too drunk to make good decisions and the equally inebriated boys were too eager to take advantage of her.

Monts wasn't having it. The girl went home safe thanks to her. Monts didn't.]

People do stupid things when they're drunk and angry, like push a girl down the stairs. And no, I'm not friends with those people anymore.

[privatenoeyes]

Mingling with the wrong crowd, huh? There's something about alcohol that makes a person feel like they're invincible.

[Now he was starting to understand why she hanging out at bars wasn't exactly her thing. While it was a good thing that power protected Monts, he could see how it was also quite isolating. At the very least, he's happy that she survived.]

Still sounds like one hell of a origin story, though. This should be the part where you tell me that you donned a superhero outfit and decided to fight bad guys.

[nerine]

Not at all.

[With her hands behind her back, she turns to look at Kojiro to give him a devious smile.

But it's unsettling.]

The moment I revived with a repaired body, the first thing I did was to terrorize those guys first. Ah, short of murdering them of course.

[Make no mistake, she fully intended to return the favor.]

[privatenoeyes]

So, um...

[That smile sent shivers up his spine. He's glad that she didn't cross that line, yet it made him wonder how much she had control over that power. Or how much that power had control over her...

"She won't go berserk one day, will she?" No, she seemed mostly together... So he just had to trust a moment like that wouldn't happen.]

Y-You didn't break their balls too badly, did you?

[nerine]

Oh.

[She clasps her hands together as if the thought had just occurred to her.]

I should have done that first. But not to worry. Someone stopped me in my tracks before I became of a full-fledged murderer.

[privatenoeyes]

Now look... You weren't in the wrong. But you gotta remember that there's still a fine line between justice and violence.

[Kojirou knew that he wasn't the police which gave him more flexibility than them. But still, he couldn't help and get a bit preachy about this. It wasn't the fact that she beat them up, but what would've happened if she went too far.]

Even people who hold power with good intentions can easily stray off the wrong path. All it can take is one slip up and they won't know who they are anymore.
