MAGICAL PERSONALS: bond-single abomination witch teen seeks premise-mandated mutual torture
Name: Midousuji Akira
Date: 5/3
Format: text; UN: akira
Hello.
I know the network is overused for this purpose, but all the same: I need a Bond. So the hope is that one of you Monster Mirrorbound are in a similar situation.
[Midousuji squints, rolling his eyes up as he tilts his head back, scowling as he growls out a long grosssss. this feels pathetic. and creepy, and weird. like writing a goddamn personal ad.
well, it kind of is. Midousuji refrains from the temptation of commenting on as much; normally, he's on the network as HOTARUāKUN—uninhibited for the most part, and largely unlikable. but he's asking for a favor, so better to just switch modes. just be purely objective, don't display any reactionary tendencies, don't make sport of bullying.]
I'm a learning Witch, and I'm still kind of a new arrival. I don't have magic illness, [...anymore, thanks to that weird hiccup where Midousuji got physically accosted by a Puca that he mutually did not consent to bonding with, thanks to shenanigans] but obviously, it's pertinent that I resolve this.
So: I'm a quiet, private person. I do not like other people, and I do not like to be touched. I understand physical touch helps facilitate the symbiotic siphoning of magic or whatever, and it's not as if it's impossible to compromise for the sake of practicality, but I'm not going to do any cuddling or whatever.
Ideally, I'd like to form a Bond with a Monster who likewise keeps to themselves. I know the Bonds sometimes have ripples of emotional feedback, and I'm familiar with that feeling. But I'd like the kind of person who if they were to get a sense of something like that, they'd mind their own business. I'd do the same, of course, but it would be easier to tolerate someone who isn't strongly emotional in the first place. Outside of that, I don't care what kind of person I form a Bond with.
I know that beggars can't be choosers, blah blah, so save your smart-alecky responses for some other victim. I'll settle if I have to, but I may as well ask for the best fit first.
[he almost made it a whole post without having an attitude. alas]

No cuddling, really? That's disappointing...
I hope you find something that fits you... This all sounds really reasonable! If you can't, then we'll start thinking about other options.
( again with this we... )
Oh, this is Aerith-chan, by the way! I hope you're feeling better. If this is you. If it isn't, I'm sorry, stranger!

he tilts his head, squinting with a more exaggerated scowl.
then he gets another message, and leans forward, the top of his palm resting against the back of his neck. wait, WE?? who the—
Midousuji's eyes widen when he reads her name. using a self directed honorific. an honorific he taught her. god. this is his fault. Midousuji's expression is severe from where he sits, knees hiked high, feet crossed, jaw set tense.
god he is so glad he figured out how to send things under a private mask on these stupid devices]
AAEEEERIITTTHHHH CHANNNNNNNNN
YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF MEEEEEE why do you always DO THAT
you shouldn't just run around saying stuff like that ESPECIALLY on the WEIRDO MAGICAL INTERNET to, PERHAPS, STRANGERS!!! saying stuff like that on a public network with your NAME SIGNED????
YOU
LUNATIC!!! GROSS
text | eternally private from here
Stop calling me gross...! I told you!!!
( okay, except she's laughing. she really shouldn't be. but she's laughing. she's never been called a lunatic before, it's sort of special. )
Besides, what's the problem?
Is there something wrong with my name~?
It's better to be upfront about these things, in case I owe someone a proper apology!
Wait, so is Akira your first name? Akira-kun? Akira-kun and Aerith-chan?
and so too eternally text
[Midousuji literally bites his tongue, eyes widening with frustration. what is this???? her humor??? pretty unforgivable. some people are like that, of course—but this... Midousuji's eyes narrow suspiciously.
okay. he's onto her. he knows what this is!
but before he can get to his accusations, he's so startled by her next message, comparing their first names, that he shrieks and drops the watch—and given his shoddy motor skills and reaction time, he fails to catch it, his grasp just late enough to kind of bat it back in the air before it falls.
once he manages to get it back into his (too hard) grasp, Midousuji frankly looks...livid. he isn't, though. panicked might be more accurate? he has no idea what he's experiencing]
AKIRA is my given name. ONLY people in my family call me Akira.
Where I'm from, the family name is customary instead of the given, unless the two people are really close............ like family etc
Otherwise, it's too much. and gross. Of course, I'm not stupid, this isn't my home country, so I don't really expect anything from people. but, I'm not really that kind of person..... I'd prefer if people misunderstood "Akira" as my last name
no subject
You acted all familiar right from the get-go, wow~
( okay, now she's teasing him, sorry... )
But Midousuji-kun it is.
I actually might know someone who fits your specifications, so I'll let you know if it pans out, okay? And I'll introduce myself properly so I won't be all...gross, when I message you.
no subject
[Midousuji, there's these things called jokes. but when he's half way through typing his defense, he seems to realize it. he blinks, then leans back. jesus
he blinks, tilting his head and narrowing his eyes when she says she won't be gross. that doesn't seem possible.]
jeez you seem too concerned about my opinion, be however. I just get to react accordingly. not being the way you aCTUALLY are because youre worried about someone you barely know thinking youre gross is even MORE gross.
Anyway who is this person???
no subject
He's just someone that I know. He's very quiet, keeps to himself, knows how to put distance between things. I don't know if he'll go for it, but I asked just to see.
Does that fit your specifications?
no subject
okay...... that was pretty good.
Midousuji goes back to attention, recovering from his giggles enough to reply. he likes immature, mean name puns, so...]
WOW.... I can't believe I laughed
but yea pretty much everyone's gross, people are gross, EVEN GIRLS, etc, it's a useless thing to worry about.
Ooh, yeah, he sure would. Let me know~~ You know, you're so helpful, it almost makes up for everything else!
[Midousuji does appreciate that she's been stubbornly helpful for reasons he can't discern (which makes him a little suspicious even now), but he's...not good at expressing that kind of thing. clearly. but that's okay. if it turns out this is a connection worth maintaining, Midousuji will find some other way to express it. maybe]
no subject
Anyway, I'm asking him about it still, so you better be nice to me or I'll have to take it back~ Grossborough-chan doesn't play around, okay.
( she really isn't bothered by it--and hey, he laughed, so it's worth it anyway. )
In the meantime, take care of yourself, make sure you don't have any more problems...
no subject
Sheesh! Grrrross. Well, that's business, I guess~ and who knows. Maybe I won't be needing him.
[though Midousuji sounds.....meaner... he's truthfully having a bit of fun, eyes narrow and grinning in a way that looks more sinisterly than it really is. it's a good sign. maybe. though he still has some distrustful suspicions about Aerith, but hey, at least she's interesting.
not great for his blood pressure so far, though. but he's determined to come around on the other side of that—no way is she gonna get to keep the power in this dynamic!!
so he thinks. stupid]Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it.
[as if he didn't........get in this situation because of not taking care of himself.]
Take care of YOURSELF, Aerith-chan. After all, you're ssssooo recklesssss lolol
