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 :))

Jupiter.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to be blunt. It's true, that if you stay you'll at least start as an unpleasant reminder— but you'll also be proving that you want to stay, regardless of how he is now and regardless of who he becomes. If you leave, he'll likely use that as ammunition against himself.

...That aside, I would rather you stayed.

[worldofdifference]

... you only just met me.

[ k. kind of grouchy don't call him on that ]

Your point? I like what I know of you so far, and I'm both close to Tristan and some manner of friends with Ariel. ...I'd feel badly if I let you go without at least offering my support first.

[ I'LL CALL YOU ON WHAT I WANT ]

[ Still, Kaito is giving Jupiter something to think about. He twists some hair through his fingers idly, considering. ]

[ ... well you look less like you're going to go somewhere and have a mild breakdown, so he'll count that as a win. sighing and letting Jupiter process that ]

[worldofdifference]

... I appreciate your willingness to support me. And I do recognize the validity of your points. But ultimately I believe this is something that Tristan should be allowed some control of.

I'll stay at the temporary housing provided for someone of my rank. He, and you, can find me there or in the library.

...Aah. I'm not arguing that at all.

I'll let him know when he comes back.

[worldofdifference]

Thank you. I'll take my leave now.
