This isn't really new to him, though it might be useful in its shareableness if he ever feels like explaining the Amatsuki to someone in Aather.

I'M SO BAD AT THESE, WHY AM I DOING ONE oh right because I need some distractions. Uh. SO! Ask stuff for Viridian/Bonten, Flame/Silver, Shes/Dark Bakura and also the Masked Lady if you want.

DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right to answer with someecards or relevant macros for relationship questions.
aberdevine: (Q)
SKILL: messenger birds

Gained from the Unicorn's loser skill game.
Form: silk cloak.

Or, "canon suddenly gave me a new skill right before the loser skill game, thank god." Bonten has another use for feathers now! He can turn one into a small songbird, which he can then send out and talk through. Handy!

⇢ ALL OF THE FEELINGS
+ some weight off his shoulders regarding the Ginshu/Byakuroku issue
- some self-loathing
aberdevine: (HH)
Okay, I am attempting to come off hiatus, since my bout of SINUS PLAGUE seems to be getting better (knock on wood). Since I was gone longer than I expected, Bonten, Silver, and Bakura were all Persona-napped from late morning 126 until evening-ish 127 (Bakura gets a slight time-space bending exception because I really wanted him to be there for Malik's intro........ oops). The Masked Lady left a nice note for all teams involved.

I'll be picking up some of the threads I had prior to my slow death by terrible cold, but since some are like a week old, if you'd rather not continue them, I'm fine with that.

SHAREABLE: no

What he learned:
• SHIT GOT REAL

SKILL: punching all of the things (aka actual fighting skills)

From the latest round of heart games.

POW )

Yep. So he can knock people out with a well-placed neck-chop and also punch things pretty hard when they piss him off. Still not really a combatant, though.

Downgrading my hiatus to "semi-hiatus." My RL situation is still pretty unstable and has the potential to tip into OHHHH NOOOOOO territory at any time, but I seem to be able to get some playing in...! Not posting to the OOC comm because it's just a change in hiatus status rather than an actual lifting of it...

This icon is so moe.

Functioning on the world's worst sleep schedule.

Gained from Kiriko & ML's kotoribako game.

Sleep is now optional for Bonten! ... is what I would like to say, but that's not exactly true. Back when he was "Bonten" with all the powers that came with the title, he had trouble sleeping and would frequently stay awake for days and days at a time before collapsing into minor coma-like sleeps that would last for like what, thirty chapters? another several days. This isn't that skill, because he's not "Bonten" anymore. (WATCH THIS GET JOSSED.)

However, he can draw upon that experience to have a terrible sleep schedule and stay awake a lot if he needs to. It won't be pleasant for anyone, though.
aberdevine: (✿ 近く 近くなったわ)
Because Mithos has the best ideas. I'm not doing the exploring version because my schedule makes it difficult, but :B Comment with a relationship between one of your characters and mine, and I'll describe a hypothetical heart game room representing it. I'll be poking at this throughout the week when I have time, so please be patient with meeeee.

Waiting for Ginshu outside the barrier in the snow.

FROM: Columbine's paper chimera loser game.
FORM: green cotton candy
SHAREABLE: no

SITTING OUT IN THE SNOW. ACTIVATING THE BARRIER. JUST SO HE CAN HANG OUT WITH GINSHU. This is a memory of adorable fail.

Meeting Ginshu for the first time.

FROM: The White Queen's Mastermind game.
FORM: tiny golden pocket watches with winders on the top
SHAREABLE: 2/3

Trying to kill Ginshu so that the other ayakashi will like him, failing, learning that she's not the real himemiko, and her shooing him off before the other priestesses can hurt him.

Byakuroku fails at parenting #1: food.

FROM: Three's weights game.
FORM: a little perfume bottle with an emerald cap
SHAREABLE: unlimited (more or less)

4koma under cut )

Byakuroku muses that giving food to one's children is probably a parent's duty. He first tries to give a dead bird to Hiwa, who wonders if Byakuroku's encouraging cannibalism. Then he tries to give fruit to Tsuyukusa, who's a tree ayakashi. Then Byakuroku cries on the Master of the Forest because he fails. Finally, Hiwa wonders what tree ayakashi eat, anyway. Byakuroku tries watering Tsuyukusa in response. Hiwa is unimpressed.

What he learned:
• what. WHAT.

Also, BPAL, I guess. "FALLEN: The essence of overweening pride and unearthly angelic beauty. A regal scent, glowing darkly, elegant and patrician, but unfathomably desolate. Cherubic white sandalwood and golden musk with a dark halo of amber, a breath of imperial florals, unbending woods, and the shadow cast by vetiver and violet."

Creating Utsubushi.

FROM: Chance's wager game.
FORM: a foil-wrapped chocolate coin
SHAREABLE: no

Chapter 25
BONTEN: From now on, your name is Utsubushi.
BONTEN: If you stick with me,
BONTEN: I'll show you a wider sky and a deeper shade of blue.

Chapter 81
BONTEN: By nature, Utsubushi is an ayakashi I created by blending various things.
BONTEN: A shard of a bird ayakashi, an ayakashi's black smoke, corpses and bones from humans and beasts, earth, trees, wings...

YEP. This sure is a memory of creating Utsubushi! The current revelations about Utsubushi are obviously not included, despite me quoting from last month's chapter about how he was made. That's just there for reference. Basically it's just a memory of the act of creation itself: what we see at the beginning of chapter 25.
aberdevine: (II)
I'm having trouble loading the post and am out of steam for the night anyway! So if you'd like to pick up a thread with either Bonten or Silver from the game, link it here and we'll do this thing.

MEMORY #16: Encountering Heihachi while searching for Tsuyukusa.

FROM: the Green Knight's head game.
FORM: a cup of wine
SHAREABLE: no

What he learned:
• Who is this weirdo human who knows Tsuyukusa?
• ... who is this weirdo human tagging along with me? (Susutake)
• This is his second glimpse of his power to read Heaven's Net. Sigh, cool powers he no longer has.

MEMORY #17: Ginshu makes a scarf!

FROM: Narcissus's love letter game.
FORM: heart-shaped chocolates with pink peppermint filling
SHAREABLE: no

What he learned:
• ADORABLE CHILDHOOD MEMORY
• But she was smiling and giggling in a way that weirded him out........

MEMORY #18: Seeing Tsuyukusa's battered body after he was attacked by priestesses.

FROM: Ginshu's heart game.
FORM: a necklace with four candy beads
SHAREABLE: 3/4

What he learned:
• He's seen this in Ginshu's heart. So it doesn't really hold any surprises for him. But now he gets to see it from HIS perspective. Greaaat.
• C... confirmation that Byakuroku started this whole incident. And a heaping bit of self-blame for having inadvertently helping make it possible.
• THIS IS A TERRIBLE MEMORY AND HE DOESN'T LIKE IT AT ALL. He's very determined to keep this in the past and move on from it.
aberdevine: (KK)
As everyone who's tried to thread with me this week has no doubt noticed, I have not been around much on account of family obligations that are dragging me on a trip. THUS, hiatus, which I really should have declared at the beginning of the week.

Bonten is communing with other birds Bonten and Silver have been working at Kiriko's inn! This has been effective since soon after the drunk game. If your character would worry about their absence, somehow they were informed of this. They'll be coming back tomorrow.
aberdevine: (CC)
SKILL: feather throwing daggers?!

Gained from Dream's moontime exploration game.

This is a skill Bonten pulled out of nowhere in chapter 79! Basically, he can summon razor-sharp feathers that he can then throw with pinpoint accuracy. Doing this for a while seems to start to physically wear on him, so this isn't a skill for a long, drawn-out fight. LOOK GUYS I CAN DO MORE THAN SIT THERE AND LOOK PRETTY!!1!
aberdevine: (EE)
I probably should have done this last weekend, but! Semi-hiatus for Bonten, Silver, and the Masked Lady. Basically, I've been pretty busy lately. Even though hopefully things should now be calming down, I've been super tired and as a result I am just not ~*~feeling~*~ RP as much as I could right now. I'll be around and might even play in games, but I won't be jumping all of the posts or otherwise being super active. If you want me for a thread, give a holler! The worst that can happen is that I'll be all NOT TONIGHT, DEAR, I HAVE A HEADACHE.

I PROMISE I STILL LOVE YOU ALL ♥

Explaining his power loss to Toki.

FROM: Odile's pony game.
FORM: a black feather that fades to white
SHAREABLE: 4/5

What he learned:
• He's gotten the rest of this memory back already, so mostly it's just confirmation of what he already knew/expected: Heaven took his powers away because of his misbehavior.
• He slept for too long?? Uh.
• It really is important to him that Toki take care of Tsuyukusa and Utsubushi.

SKILL: easily scaling and balancing on tall objects

FROM: the Masked Lady's hanafuda game.

He's a bird. He spends a lot of time perching on top of trees and roofs and stuff. It's just something he does.
