the world is a vampire 🌟 🦇

[yumenope]

( frankly, gentaro can recount the times he’s been out after ten at night in the past four years on both his hands. most have been spurred by ramuda and the others brought on by signings and tours. usually, at this hour, he’s steeping tea with incense and hunched over his next work.

tonight, though, he’s at a shoddy little neighborhood bar in shibuya, a block or two away from his modest apartment complex. he’s looking for inspiration and with their recent defeat to matenrou, a distraction is desperately needed.

so here he finds himself, nursing a whiskey on the rocks, pen and notebook on the bar, bags under his eyes. he’s certainly forgotten the concealer ramuda had introduced him to.

and the bartender, a tattooed man — seemingly an implant from britain, perhaps — with a barbell piercing, isn’t lowkey hitting on him. not at all. )
