meme | #001 -- hardest words to say ( and i'd do anything to make you stay )
HARDEST THING TO SAY MEME Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest. - post as your character. - others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario. - respond and have fun! 01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore. 02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance. 03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need. 04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore. 05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you. 06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though. 07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it. 08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back. 09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it. 10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it 11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover. 12. BROKEN That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything. 13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it. 14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried. 15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness. 16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together. 17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth. 18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life. 19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up. 20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them? 21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them. 22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea. |

...Oh. Oh. Again, is it? Something that isn't as it seems, someone who isn't so much like him, afterall. Just like Konoe.
No, this is different than Konoe. Konoe was still from this world, still had a tail and while wasn't born with the curse of black ears, had had them and experienced the stigma that went along with them.
This cat has, too, however, through no fault of his own. Asato doubts, finds the story hard to believe, but he has no reason to believe the other is lying about such a thing. He's unaware of it, but there's a small frown on his lips as he just watches the other, unsure of what to say or how to react.
Too many choices and that causes Asato to ultimately do very little of anything. A shift of his head and he's looking away now, down at the ground himself, letting feelings sink in and start to bleed inside.]
A man wrote a story...
[A human. That was so long ago, though, surely there's a mistake? Maybe the other is joking, taking the fact that Asato knows practically nothing about him just a little too far? (but doesn't that make it all the more reason to believe him? asato knows he isn't from around here, knows that he's different from other—well, not other, but—ribika in general in a very special way.)
His final reaction is merely a defeated sigh, something hurt and lonely but attempting to understand (and failing) all the same. There is one thing he does understand, however. Of course all things are too good to be true. To meet someone like himself, to be able to protect someone like Kagari protected him (and beyond), it just isn't something that's meant to be. And it's selfish, but all he can think about for a brief moment is his own hurt, his own feelings of betrayal (and why does it even matter, he doesn't even know this cat's name) before he lets that all go with that sigh.
There's no other way to react that's fair. Even this isn't fair. He glances up at the other from the corner of his eyes, not yet raising his head. Quietly, his next question is asked.]
...How did you get here?
[Nothing makes any sense to him anymore. Not about this cat. Not about anything.]
no subject
Another step back and he crosses his arms almost defensively, eyes flickering up to take in Asato before he turns his gaze away again.]
I ran. I betrayed Alice and betrayed the White Rabbit and found my way out of the story. I hurt and killed and used Alice, more than one, as my weapon, and I got out. I hurt the one who wanted to live and sent him off to the one who wanted to die, just so I could follow them to the exit. I was the Cheshire Cat, and I was supposed to be Alice's guide, Usa-chan's friend, but...
What's done is done. There's no changing it now.
[Then he's stepping closer, willfully, bending at the waist and looking up at Asato and trying to catch his eye. And he's smiling, though it's brittle and false, even more so than his habitual grins.]
Don't be sad, Asato. I'm not worth being sad over.
no subject
[He looks to the other, brow furrowed in concern at such a thing coming from the other cat's mouth.]
Don't say something like that. You're worth it. You're more than worth it.
[Asato's expression softens slightly, then, tilting his head just a bit.]
Do you want to go back...?
[Part of Asato hopes that no, no he doesn't and that he can keep his "friend" for a longer time to come. The other side of him, however, hopes that Chesire will be honest with him because of course he doesn't want to stay here. Why would anyone want to stay here? If Asato could leave, he would—
—but he can't and this isn't about him. He bites his lip before blurting out:]
I'll help you, if you do. If that's what you want, I'll help you in any way I can.
[And that's just how he is.]
no subject
[He seems honestly surprised by the question, and almost hurt, past the smile.]
I couldn't live there, anymore. And I definitely can't now, not when I've betrayed everyone who was ever on my side.
[But it doesn't make sense, Asato's willingness to help. Nobody could be that good at heart, not enough to assist someone they don't even really know, when that cat had just freely admitted to serious betrayal.]
...Why would you even offer, Asato? It doesn't make sense. No matter what you say, I'm not worth that.
[Then something occurs to Cheshire, and he tilts his head to mirror the angle of Asato's.]
If you want me to take you there, I can do it. They would probably make you the new Cheshire Cat, but you wouldn't be blamed for what I'd done. Nobody would care about your ears and tail; the color doesn't matter to them.
I don't want to go back, but I could send you there. It wouldn't be too hard. Wonderland is designed to keep people in, but there's nothing to keep people out. Simple and easy as a few words, really. I can definitely do it, if that's what you want.
no subject
Asato shakes his head, nevertheless.
It's true he doesn't like it here and if he could leave, he would. But not to some place like that, some place where he'd be even more alone than he is here. At least here, he has Kagari... and he sort of has the other, too... doesn't he?] That's not it at all.
[He takes a step forward before thinking better of it and backs up to the exact same place he had been to begin with. His expression turns to concern now, not liking that this cat has come to such a conclusion.]
I want to stay with you.
[Coming from any other cat, it might have sounded as if there was more behind the words spoken. But, from Asato, they are pure and innocent, only intending what they reveal.] I won't leave you alone. We're...
[he hesitates, biting his lip a moment.]
...friends.
no subject
Then he's smiling again, but sadly this time, stepping forward himself and reaching up a hand to ruffle Asato's hair.]
...Are you sure? That you want that, I mean. I'm a bad friend.
[He's just admitted to betraying everyone who ever cared about him and still Asato is being sweet, using a word like that in conjunction with him. It's heartbreaking, and he hates it, but he won't let that show.]
If you're sure, I'll let you name me.
no subject
I'm sure.
[He doesn't care what Cheshire's past is. It would be wrong of him to judge, wrong of him immediately decide one way or another how this cat should be treated other than with the utmost respect. It's not just something he's been taught despite the way he's been treated all his life (which, still, he is grateful for being allowed to live at all), but something he's learned and wanted to give towards others, especially those who have had less than easy lives, themselves. Konoe made him want to reach out to others. Cheshire makes him want to reach out even more and protect them all he can.
He pulls back, suddenly, however, as if realizing he may be being overly affection. Tail stiff and ears alert, Asato blinks before shaking his head quickly.]
N-name you? Ahhh, I'm not very good with names, what if I pick something stupid?
[It's a serious concern of his.]
no subject
He's just a little broken, really.
But when Asato draws away, Cheshire's ears perk up and he's smiling a smile that carries an actual genuine note to it. If he had a tail, it would likely be swishing playfully at this point, but instead he steps in close and catches Asato's, smoothing the fur with gentle strokes.
Physical intimacy is something he's more than accustomed to. It's just the feeling behind it that unnerves him in Asato's case.]
I doubt you could do any worse than the names I've had, believe me. And I'll tell you if I don't like it, alright?
