Insights of the hidden mind.
You are as blood.
Rubedo (
udo_retrovirus) - dropped - (
beastlyred)
A twin is as another heart--far more if you've shared the beats. Felt it jump in excitement; slow in despair. And as it frantically speeds, yours breaks from distress.
Rubedo abandoned Albedo before Albedo arrived here, and his brother--fifteen years gone--did little to withdraw that outlook by his own actions and words. In fact, relations worsened on night 43, when Junior told Albedo his problems were his own fault, and continued the next night, when his twin was so eager to put him down when Albedo was on S-C. Due to these events and others, Albedo finally confronts Rubedo about his actions, to which the middle Variant learns some of the years and actions now separating them. That Rubedo kills him seems the biggest shock. Soon after this, Rubedo takes to seemingly avoiding his siblings, and when he vanishes night 48, it's a wonder if it's a relief or a further fracture.
And day 52, Rubedo returns. To what end, it hasn't been determined.
Nigredo (
falseblack)
Nigredo is his brother. This is an encompassing fact; enough to stay a hand from murder when one was intent on it. Enough to move to for comfort without realizing; enough to reach for in tears. Even when used as an excuse, to focus on when looking the other way was too painful, this was never denied. They are brothers, and there is more meaning in that than anything else.
Lately, things have been convoluted, with outside influence and miscued emotions. Nigredo has shown in clear ways his own care for Albedo and need to not be alone, and Albedo himself has vowed not to harm Nigredo. Things become worse with Nigredo's warm and cold nature, and Albedo does not react well to unknown variables in care. Especially after reaching out and seemingly being turned away. Albedo's moves regarding Nigredo depend solely on his brother's next actions.
Angel (
blurred_divide) - dropped
To each his own, for kindred souls.
These two did not interact overtly, but in the few times they did, Albedo bonded more than he ever had to a stranger. Between their similarities and differences, Albedo found comfort, and from his own past, Angel knew more on how to handle one deeply broken. From the words said, to the gifts given, to the things left unspoken, Angel is the only person Albedo has willingly called friend in his mind. And the boy deeply mourns his loss.
Ritsuka (
forgot_it_all)
A surprise attraction in an intellectual companion.
For one who takes the board no more seriously than he does its viewers, Albedo would not have expected to find one so well-knowledged and curious. From this one's pursuits to knowledge to intelligent answers and astute questions, Albedo became curious in the one who responded to him almost daily. When they met, it came as a shock that he was as old as Albedo himself, and more--lived through the death of a brother. It's safe to say that Albedo has a platonic crush on Ritsuka, and isn't quite sure how to go about interacting with him.
You are interesting.
Meche (
sheisthecause) - dropped
A comfort and a curiosity.
On his first night, Albedo met Meche on S-C, and got the pleasure of being shot with plants. The next day, she explained some things before he ran off to attack his siblings, and his view of her slightly increased. It was again change when they met in the chapel, and the woman actually tried to comfort him, despite his past actions. To add, she hardly blinked at his regeneration, and so she moved from mundane to interesting. She is not someone disliked.
Hikaru (
totallytheseme) - dropped
A set of forced similarities.
For one forced to room with another, there could have been worse than Hikaru. Albedo was won over quickly, with gifts and desserts, and then with the revelation of Hikaru being a twin as well. The similarities, and the sense that another understood were something Albedo was allowed comfort from. This, like other things that went well, lasted not long at all.
Allen Walker (
broken_exorcist) - dropped
Like and unlike. Seen similarities.
Allen answered questions Albedo had, and for that, he stood apart. As well that the other had white hair and stated interesting powers--He allowed Albedo to consider planning here, even if the conversation turned to the misguided subject of keeping hope.
Yomi (
she_is_ruin)
To a devil in disguise.
Yomi is similar. Albedo is certain. She moves and acts like a predator, except when she doesn't. It is not something to be brought up, only acknowledged. One monster to the other. Yes. Except this one has also offered kindness and crafts. He isn't quite sure how to deal with that.
? (Kaworu) (
moral_liberty)
To match one in steps.
To be able to move in beats similar to his own, is why this one remains interesting. His lack of reaction and constant curiosity, has sparked Albedo's own. And Albedo has never been one to turn down a dance partner.
Greta (Ange) (
finalwitch) - dropped
For what is hidden.
This one had proved interesting, from her subjects on the board to her methods of correspondence. She set herself apart early on, and because of that, Albedo was willing to seek her out to meet with her. This, proved more reactive than not, as the girl is a sibling, and spoke in words too close to truth about the ties that lie between. Albedo was affected, and for that, sees her as something else.
? (Rolo) (
timeseal) - dropped
Mirror things that shouldn't be.
Despite the other's unwillingness to communicate at length, the two have things in common. Like a female, soft and full of smiles, all too willing to come between what shouldn't be parted. The knowledge of another should come as relief. It breaks as despair.
You are toys.
Yuffie (
thatdamnedninja)
There once was an S-C patient who turned a twin into more of a midget. And gained Albedo's gratitude, even if the process didn't end as he wanted. She allowed him to plot about his own possible "brainwashing," and more to the point, seemed incensed by his presence and creeped out by his mannerisms.
She instantly became fun, and he wants to play with her again.
Klavier (
rocksthecourt)
This man. If he wasn't so fun to play with, he would be on the hated list. Klavier has a tendency, much like another, to touch and force his inclinations on Albedo. With that alone, Albedo despises the man--his actions and his arrogance. But Klavier became more interesting with more details.
The man is a sibling. A sibling who abandoned his own. Because it was deemed as right. Necessary. And for this... Albedo became locked onto the man. More than he had previously. Klavier had already been deduced as one who lacked in reality--only saw his own beliefs without any other sight--and already Albedo had charged himself with showing Klavier true reality. This added fact... only placed Klavier as something more to obsess over in Albedo's mind. Something to break apart and learn its insides.
And Klavier is Nigredo's friend. For that, Klavier is deemed a pet, and Albedo himself has to move a bit more carefully.
Asuka (
lookatmemama)
And there once was a girl, red-haired and blue-eyed, whose temper reminded him too much of another. But enough, in fact, to consider a game of similaritity. Her faith was deemed lacking, so he wagered a bet. If she was forced into facing her own demons, she would have to speak with him whenever he wished.
He won.
You are nothing.
Tsubaki (
thecamellia)
This girl gave information without much delay. Other than that....
Endurance (
oftemptation) - dropped
He spoke of listening to his heart in its machinations, and if nothing else, to move on with his life. Albedo was shaken from this conversation.
Ronixis (
timeleaper) - dropped
He almost hates this one, if Albedo cared more. He interrupted Albedo and Nigredo, and continued to follow them as they moved. And caused problems. In ways.
Kristoph (
dasgift) - dropped
Klavier's brother. Only of note for that fact, and the possibility of torturing Klavier through that, and because the man reads as a light monster. Something that brings death. It's interesting.
? (Raz) (
razmaspaz) - dropped
A roommate that didn't last long. Albedo saw him as an adversary, and someone who used things that weren't his.
Hanatarou (
mitase) - dropped
He played games with Albedo, despite everything. Albedo might like him for that.
Momo (
hajike_tobiume) - dropped
She told him of paper cranes and wishes, and when that didn't work, offered to help bring about his wish herself. Somehow, he slightly is grateful for this.
Daedalus Yumeno (
thisboyprince)
This person is strange and he doesn't have much thoughts about them.
? (Battler) (
dreadofthegrave) - dropped
It's possible he's a sibling and was taken by a witch. In that case, he's infinitely interesting. If not, he still speaks of siblings as if he truly knows.
? (Sasuke) (
sasuke_of_sound)
The current roommate. Much too unemotional for Albedo's liking. Though he feels like they have a half-bet on the length of time they'll be remaining. As well as the vague interesting facts of how the other thinks.
? (Keman) (
adorkabledragon) - dropped
There once existed a blue dragon that Albedo accidentally tried to shoot with a shotgun.
? (Leela)(
shorttank)
tba
You are hated.
Donna (
mateswithnobody)
He tries not to ever run into her. They came across each other Albedo's first night and the woman read as obnoxious, then went further as she moved to force him to do what she wanted and grabbed him multiple times. She's crazy, to Albedo, and he would go out of his way to never see her again.
Rika (
repeatingfate) - dropped
Rika is a much more hostile hate. She reminds him of that girl, and seems to exist only to take Nigredo away. She doesn't respond to communication, or even asking her to stay away from his sibling, and instead goes out of the way to impose herself between them and cause more problems. Albedo doesn't know she left. If he did, he'd likely regret not being able to kill her.
As lambs to the slaughter.
? (Anise)
Group One. A frightened thing, but doubting all the same.
? (Sync)
Group One. A bit more reactive. May have been fun to play with.
? (Dahlia) - dropped
Group One. Nothing worth remembering.
? (Dias) - dropped
Group Two. Cautious and able.
? (Claude)
Group Two. Slight hesitance. Possible fun.
? (Guy)
Group Two. Adamant and self-aware.
? (SubZero) - dropped
Group Three. Trained. Silent. Seemed to have a "plan."
? (Beatrix Kiddo) - dropped
Group Three. Trained. Fun to play with! Could take it as well as give in turn. Someone to meet again.
? (HK-47)
Group Three. Trained. A willing attacker, but nothing more.
? (Howl)
Group Four. Lacks awareness.
? (Zero) - dropped
Group Four. Nothing memorable.
