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 :))

[ makes a low, mostly noncommittal noise (don't thank him for letting go, don't) and noses at him some more. please ignore the tangled mess of Upset coming from over here ]

...Can I see what you really look like? Like this, I mean.

[coaldhearted]

...Aah. Sure.

[harvey's actually kind of soaking up that upset. it's nice to know how much Kaito cares, even if it hurts him.

rolls off wolfpillow, though, so he's on his side when he shifts]

[was_no_monster]

[ grumbling when he catches that but not... really bothering to object, or shift his own feelings. he likes Harvey, it'd be stupid to make him hurt too just for enjoying it, especially when he'd probably do the same.

(it's tempting, though. he does hurt a lot, and he hasn't been allowed to take himself out on anything for a while...)

seeing Harvey change is a distraction from that, though, and a cheering one— he wags a little as soon as he realizes that they're both canines, and leans in to sniff at him ]

We still match. ...Mostly. You're gorgeous.

[coaldhearted]

[rolls onto his belly, ears perking up and too-long legs settling haphazardly.]

Is that so... thanks.

[was_no_monster]

[ chuffs ]

You always are, it's just more outward.

[ just gonna. reach over and gently grab Harvey by the muzzle. Harvey's probably the wrong type of wolf to recognize the gesture for what it is, but he is absolutely establishing dominance, thank you ]

[coaldhearted]

I am definitely not gorgeous most of the time. I can accept being a pretty wolf, though.

[kind of pauses at that, though, definitely confused]

Uh. What are you doing?

[was_no_monster]

[ snorts in disagreement. UNREPENTANT, THOUGH: ]

Establishing dominance.

[coaldhearted]

Kaito...

[was_no_monster]

[ WAGS

okay and maybe giving up that position by licking Harvey's cheek in appeasement ]

[coaldhearted]

[tsundere grumble, but his tail wags too.]

[was_no_monster]

[ WAGS HARDErno you know what. getting up, bounding a few steps away, and bowing ]

[coaldhearted]

[OH

that's body language he can recognize and return, ridiculous and leggy and pleased]

[was_no_monster]

[ LAUGHING harvey you have legs for miles

darting in, shoulderchecking him, and bolting. tag with Harvey ]

[coaldhearted]

[giving chase!! which is enough to show how WEIRD AND RIDICULOUS HIS GAIT IS though he does at least have four legs like this because i say so.

he also moves very fast because the whole legs for miles bit.]

[was_no_monster]

[ the nice ("nice") thing about being a Shadow is injuries do tend to be more metaphorical. like the raw scarring around Kaito's cuffs— which he's still wearing. and chained with.

yeah, Harvey's going to have no problems with catching up, or with outrunning Kaito forever after that. ]

[coaldhearted]

[slows once he's caught up, though, shoving at Kaito's shoulder with a paw and making a pleased noise.]

Gotcha.

[was_no_monster]

[ TOPPLES OVER LIKE A FELLED TREE and paddles his legs in the air ]

Nooo.

[coaldhearted]

Yesss.

[LOOMS pawing at his paws as they fly, victory for harveys]

[was_no_monster]

[ letting him bask in his victory .-\.



and then lunging up and wrapping his forelegs around Harvey's neck to pull him down 8D ]

[coaldhearted]

[startled yip, going down in a pile of flailing legs]

[was_no_monster]

[ shit that is a lot of flailing leg MAYBE HE MISCALCULATED—

nahhh. playgrowling and worrying gently at one ear, trying to pin Harvey down via sheer weight ]

[coaldhearted]

[harvey is pretty much immediately flattened, because one of them has bulk and it sure isn't gangly mclegs.

flicking his ear away from Kaito's jaws as best he can. making a grumpy little noise and wiggling under him. noooo how could this happen to harvey.]

[was_no_monster]

[ "how could this happen to harvey" please examine your life and then try asking that again

letting Harvey's ear get away from him, but grabbing his muzzle again and then rolling off ]

[coaldhearted]

[stretches out. hmm.]

Dominance, huh...

[was_no_monster]

[ echoing him, tail still wagging ]

Mmm. It's... mmm. Since I can do it and you've let me, it means you're mine? Sort of.
