Story time with Mukuro.

172:39  Ikusaba
goes to the bathroom and knocks on the door.
172:44  Ikusaba
Mioda-san... Are you in there?
172:48  Kuzuryuu
...
172:49  Souda
jumps
172:52  Kuzuryuu
The floor is smudged with blood.
172:56  Kuzuryuu
There's nothing else here, is there?
172:58  Souda
G-geez....
173:04  Mioda
Jumps as well huddling closer to Souda.
173:09  Tanaka
Correct.... It seems as if someone attempted to clean it however...
173:13  Mioda
Scared kittens.
173:15  Kuzuryuu
....However...?
173:22  Ikusaba
Mioda-san...?
173:24  Souda
neon-dyed baby kittens
173:33  Tanaka
No no... I have nothing more to add to that...
 Kuzuryuu
Yeah, it's not clean. That much is clear.
173:39  Mioda
Doesn't answer keeping quiet.
173:55  Mioda
baby neon punk rock kittens.
 Kuzuryuu
...I don't get it.
173:56  Tanaka
They attempted to... Meaning they did not wish for this to happen...
174:12  Kuzuryuu
...They could have just been trying to hide it but..
 Tanaka
This being the blood that is...
174:21  Kuzuryuu
Considering that they didn't hide Koizumi all that well...
 Ikusaba
I... am worried about you. I wish to at least be with you to try and calm you down.
174:26  Kuzuryuu
Why would they even bother wiping it?
174:28  Kuzuryuu
I don't understand.
174:30  Ikusaba
sits down near the door and sighs
174:43  Tanaka
Simple... In an attempt to hide the body this time...
174:44  Ikusaba
I could tell you a story Junko-chan had passed onto me.
175:01  Kuzuryuu
....
175:06  Kuzuryuu
thinks.
175:11  Kuzuryuu
...Wiping blood away...
175:14  Mioda
Stares at the door clinging to Souda.
 Tanaka
Perhaps they wished for us not to find his body...
175:35  Ikusaba
...feel free to tell me to stop at any point.
175:44  Kuzuryuu
...Maybe.
175:52  Souda
clings back in silence
175:57  Ikusaba
There once was a bear and a rabbit, living side-by-side. They were in constant turmoil, and did not like each other much.
176:02  Kuzuryuu
But they wouldn't have left the room unlocked.
176:11  Tanaka
Wouldn't they have?
 Kuzuryuu
Tch. This is ridiculous.
176:12  Ikusaba
The rabbit tried to bring peace and understanding to the bear.
176:18  Ikusaba
As well as something called Hope.
176:19  Mioda
Listens, slightly curious.
176:30  Souda
listens with
176:36   Kuzuryuuwhispers to someoneHold on...
176:48  Ikusaba
The bear, meanwhile, brought tyranny and pain to the rabbit. As well as something called Despair.
176:59   Kuzuryuuwhispers to someone....Unless...
177:12   Kuzuryuuwhispers to someoneMioda's....
177:28  Ikusaba
One day, the two, despite not getting along, they decided on an idea.
177:42  Mioda
She thinks for a moment and frowns, despair is bad.
177:45  Ikusaba
The rabbit would find 16 tiny ducklings to bring Hope to.
177:56  Ikusaba
The bear, 16 tiny chicklings to bring Despair.
178:25  Ikusaba
They would see who which one of them had the more superior concept of living. Hope, or Despair.
178:40  Mioda
Holds Souda's hand listening to the story.
179:13  Ikusaba
The bear, however, had a plan... when the rabbit wasn't looking, the bear would bring Despair amongst the ducklings.
179:20  Ikusaba
This, of course, did not please the rabbit.
179:24  Kuzuryuu
....I'm fucking out of here.
179:28  Kuzuryuu
This body is making me sick
179:33  Kuzuryuu
leaves the room
179:37  Mioda
This story is really cute.
179:43  Souda
it really is
179:45  Tanaka
.....There is not much to say about this as well on my part...
179:55  Tanaka
Leaves the room as well. Following behind Kuzuryuu now
180:07  Ikusaba
She would do her best to fight the bear, but the bear would always loom over her in the end. However...
180:45  Ikusaba
Neither the bear nor the rabbit realized that their ducklings and chicklings were capable of one thing: bonding together.
181:04  Ikusaba
And though both were tormented and controlled by Despair, they built their own Hope.
181:35  Kuzuryuu
...Tch. Where are you goin'?
181:44  Kuzuryuu
I'm just goin' back to find... The others.
181:48  Tanaka
....Me? To check on the other mortals...
181:52  Kuzuryuu
...
181:56  Kuzuryuu
Fine. Let's go together.
182:00  Tanaka
....Very well
182:01  Ikusaba
The chicklings did not have the rabbit to use for Hope, so they devised their own Hope to succeed in the challenge-
182:04  Ikusaba
the bear brought them.
182:17  Mioda
Squeezes Souda's hand still listening.
182:25  Souda
squeezes back
182:50  Tanaka
Walks ahead and stops nearby the door. Starting to listen to the story as well
 Ikusaba
As for the ducklings, they had the rabbit to look up to, and to get Hope out of. However, they were, in a way, more fraught-
182:57  Ikusaba
than the chicklings.
183:11  Tanaka
Mainly because it involves animals and now he is interested
183:15  Kuzuryuu
?
183:18  Kuzuryuu
puts ear at door
183:27  Ikusaba
For they were more... reactionary. They acted on impulse.
183:32  Mioda
The punk rock kittens are really quiet.
183:35  Ikusaba
Rather than bonding together, they would try to drift apart.
183:41  Souda
super quiet
183:42  Ikusaba
However...
183:47  Mioda
Ibuki yawns a bit though the story is making her sleepy.
184:07  Ikusaba
The ducklings looked upon the chicklings to find their Hope. So, they had a plan of their own.
184:22  Ikusaba
Instead of merely conquering over the bear that kept them captive in Despair... they would escape.
184:26  Ikusaba
*being conqured
184:44  Ikusaba
*merely conquering haha nvm im too tired to live
185:07  Ikusaba
And so, the chicklings tried to escape. How did that plan work out?
185:12  Souda
((it's ok mukuro this is so cute))
185:15  Mioda
She leans on Souda, yawning again.
185:20  Ikusaba
stands up and chuckles
185:23  Mioda
((This is really adorable))
185:33  Ikusaba
Junko-chan says the chicklings lost to Despair. What do I say?
185:40  Kuzuryuu
...
185:45  Kuzuryuu
looks at Gundam like
185:47  Tanaka
...
 Ikusaba
I say you make your own ending, as you control how you handle such topics.
185:48  Kuzuryuu
You hearin' this shit?
186:00  Ikusaba
Look at Despair and Hope. Decide which you want.
186:03  Tanaka
Seems super interested in the story. Because it's cute to him
 Kuzuryuu
walks in
186:07  Kuzuryuu
Alright, storytime's over.
