KAITO: SHADOW GARBAGE AU EDITION OPEN POST

[was_no_monster]

Because sometimes you love both the split personality and inner demons tropes way too much, and there's only one way to handle it.

THE AU IS RIDICULOUS, but all you really need to know is Kaito got humanity's malice dumped into his head along with ridiculous power, and his way of coping with both that and the trauma involved was to shove it all in with everything else he represses the heck out of and then completely dissociate himself from it. End result: what he thinks of as his inner monster has completely split off into a personality of its own, following the imagery and pattern left behind by the Shadow from that one time the Vocaloid Dressing Room had a Persona event.

(Please don't judge me.)

Feel free to pick a scenario, if you can't think of one just blank tag this sucker and I'll come up with something!

Warning! There will be a decently high probability of maiming in this post! If you're not okay with that, that's cool; just let me know in a comment header or something and I will have normal Kaito intervene. (Alternately, if you want to get mauled... well. All you have to do is ask :))

You're one to talk.

...Tristan, you eventually leave and come back in the same way Ariel did. That "you" took deaging as a theater effect to help pay for this as a favor to me.

[royallyfuckedup]

[Wow there is a sharp pang of trepidation and he's not going to ask at all.]

Ah... Okay.

[Now. What.]

[coaldhearted]

I never got older from a de-age...

[quietly, though, not really intending to carry on that train of thought, just childishly aiming for the last word]

[was_no_monster]

[ Harvey, do you even have enough time left to get older from a de-age...

ruffles his hair some more, and projects reassurance in Tristan's direction ]

...I'll yell at the theater staff later; I wouldn't feel right leaving either of you alone right now. My floor in Clubs is still almost entirely empty, if you two want to set up there for the moment...?

[royallyfuckedup]

[Quietly definitely not freaking out. Not Even A Little. He's not stupid he can figure out what deaging and getting older from it means.]

Ah.... That sounds fine.

[coaldhearted]

I don't-

[need to set up anywhere, but if he needs to sleep he actually might...]

Aah. Yeah, okay.

[was_no_monster]

[ :> wags. ]

Aah. Come on, then.

[ dropping his arm, but taking Harvey's hand and then wandering over to Tristan to offer him his hand too ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[Yep taking Kaito's hand. You have two people with you Kaito. They are yours.]

[coaldhearted]

[Hand holding!!!!]

Mmkay.

[was_no_monster]

[ THEY ARE IN FACT MINE, YOU'RE BOTH MINE I'm getting a disgusting amount of gooey affectionate dere feelings everywhere and I'm not even slightly sorry

just kind of ends up towing them both to Clubs. it's exactly the sort of experience one might have trying to walk a very large excited dog. ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[Tristan is absolutely the person to let the large excited dog tow him around without protesting at all.]

You're happy.

[coaldhearted]

[Harvey would usually protest, but, well, he actually seems pretty pleased. No complaints here.]

[was_no_monster]

[ he is absolutely shamelessly trading on the fact he thinks he can get away with more with Harvey's Shadow. it'll probably get him yelled at later, but wow is it worth it in the meantime. ]

I've frankly had an absolutely awful week or so. I'm... really happy to have something nice with very little bad to it, at least for a little while.
