Where Are They Now? (5 Year Edition)

[dead_black_eyes]

This meme was done before in this game, right here, and that is where I am stealing it from. But instead of giving characters the option to return home in this hypothetical scenario, the war is still going on five years from the current date in-game, and BREW still needs everyone.

The question is, what has happened in those five years? The children have become adults, the adults are just a little older without being old, and goodness knows a lot can change in that amount of time. Maybe you're thriving, in your business or your partnership. Maybe not. Either way, with no end in sight, life goes on in the city named after Death.


INSTRUCTIONS

-Post with your characters(s)
-Write a short blurb about what has happened in five years. Love, heartbreak, sickness, wealth, what was in the cards for your Weapon or Meister, and what has it shaped them into? Set a scene for the present.
-Tag others in the scene they kindly set.
-Profit$$$$$$$$

C.A. Cupid ♥ Monster High

[amorini]

[Need a partner- Weapon, Meister, or Romantic? Having a relationship issue you need worked out? Need a liaison to another branch of Shibusen? Or what about just a sympathetic ear? Then Cupid is probably your lady. Though perpetually seventeen, she acts a lot more mature than she did when she arrived and she's expanded her 'relationship assistance' from just people to political, acting as a go-between for Death City and the European branches. Most days, it seems like she can do it all, and that's the way it usually is- though she does her best to make it seem like it is when things aren't going so well.

Much like the irony that was her canon love life, Cupid can't seem to keep a Meister to save her life- mostly because she decides they're a better fit for someone else a little ways into the partnership. She's always right. And trying to find out anything conclusive about her love life is a Herculean Labor in and of itself, so unless she trusts someone to know about it, she's probably not talking.

Also, Gods help you if you come up against her during morning training. Cupid trains like she does everything- more or less like it's for keeps. She's a total sweetheart after though, and is likely to spend the rest of training apologizing to whoever spars with her.

Generally though, she can be found working out of her apartment or running back and forth between Shibusen and the other branches in a whirl of now-long pink hair and precise, professional cell-phone conversation punctuated by the staccato click of her heels. Every once in a while though, she does pop out to visit her friends when she knows they'll be free. Every once in a while, if someone's lucky or knows where to look, she can even be found lounging inside a small, hole-in-the-wall cafe and enjoying a cup of tea and a cupcake or two.]

he may be older, but most of his ideas are just as dumb

[tauborn]

[He spots her in a cafe and swerves across the street, ordering himself a coffee as a pretense for seeing if she's busy working or just enjoying herself. It seems to be the latter. Good.

He slides into the seat across from her and smiles in that way she's probably very familiar with. Although his love life has lately been sailing on smooth (albeit strange) waters, he has a question.]

Um, you can just answer this yes or no, but it'd be really unwise to propose to two people at the same time, right?

...Takuto

[amorini]

[Sometimes, Cupid really wishes more people learned from their mistakes. More often than that, she wishes the mistakes weren't so well-intentioned when they're initially thought of.

Mostly though, she wishes Takuto would stop trying to have his cake and eat it too.]

Polygamy is still illegal in most places, Takuto.

[A sharp, pointed bite of her cupcake.]

Not to mention it probably wouldn't go over well, no. Say what you want about how it's going for you, but there will always be problems in a relationship with more than one person. Human beings are too selfish to properly share affection like that.

[She pauses a moment, and then adds-]

And despite whatever reassurances or lofty ideals, so are divine ones. Trust me, I know.

[tauborn]

[He makes a rather harrumphing noise and exhales wearily.]

I said a simple yes or no would do. [He's not really pouting, more like just pretending he is. There's a smile hiding under his put-upon expression.]

[amorini]

[Cupid takes a long, delicate sip of her tea, sets her cup down gently, and then promptly devours the rest of her first cupcake in three large bites.]

Does it really matter how I answer? In about three days you'll decide that my advice, while sane and reasonable, really holds no bearing on what you consider is right for you and you'll go ahead and do it anyway.

[She sets her chin on her hand, leaning her elbow on the table, and blows some of her hair out of her eyes.]

Maybe one day you'll listen, but it probably won't be until it's way too late.

[tauborn]

[A rather guilty expression settles on his face. She knows him all too well.]

I've taken your advice before. [Once. Maybe twice. Three times if you squint.]

[amorini]

[Goddess of Love (in training, sort of), Takuto. She knows her stuff.]

Oh yes, you have- after several bouts of attempting to 'fix' the situation yourself. [Another, shorter sip of her tea.] Please. Don't insult me, sweetie.
