corruption au meme
 The Sword Army pursues the Retrograding Army through history, encountering familiar settings and reliving old memories. Though strong, with every change in time and setting, the swords dread the old memories. As they fight to preserve history as it is meant to be, the Sword Army must steel their hearts and resist temptation lest they come to fight themselves…  |
| A popular fan theory is that the enemy swords you fight are actually your swords from an alternate universe who wished to change history. For this meme, feel free to make up your own starters or use one of the prompts below. Remember to state if your character is corrupted, not, or if you have no preference. |
PROMPT IDEAS 1. How could you let this happen? They wanted to be left alone, their mood was poor, and maybe you should have noticed the signs but now that you have, it’s too late. They can’t stop these thoughts in their head and something in their soul has turned dark and ugly. Is it too late? Maybe you can get through to them… if not, are you ready to draw your sword? 2. Possession. Even the smallest trace of doubt can attract them— evil spirits. Once the dark spirit has latched on to your soul, it takes over and consumes you. Maybe the possession is gradual or maybe it happens suddenly. All you know is that everyone has regrets and anyone can doubt… this could happen to anyone. 3. Cry Wolf. We fought the same battles and shared the same meals together so it was only natural that we would be considered allies and friends. The fateful moment approaches and suddenly it is revealed: One of you is not a true friend. There is a traitor among you. 4. Becoming your own enemy. Your mission is to go back in time and let things happen as they were meant to be but their fall into despair was never supposed to happen, right? And so you went back in time to prevent their misfortunes but you keep failing again and again until, this time, you think you’ve got it. This time, you’ll be able to save your friend - but will you be able to save yourself too? 5. Reborn again. When destroyed in battle, the sword disappears only to return again anew. You can’t choose the fate you’re born with though and this time, someone has returned… from the wrong side. |
INSPIRATIONS There are some corruption fanart floating around Pixiv, as well as a FST made by Aki ( fletrir). Other canons with similar themes to this meme are first and foremost Puella Magi Madoka Magica, as well as Shin Megami Tensei and other demonic-theme heavy series. |

who let you in here
Actually, Kashuu doesn't care much about who she is or where she's come from or what her deal is with that cryptic entrance. The most important part is that she's here and that she seems friendly enough. He turns away from the water with a smile that falls a few shades short of pleasant.]
It's better now.
[Because he's not alone anymore, and that's always nice, isn't it? People may agitate him fast enough to chase him away from dinner early these days, but it doesn't negate his need for closeness. More than anything, that need may have been growing more pronounced despite the direct contrast of him just up and leaving in the middle of things.]
u did (oh)
This one certainly is hiding something. Okuni has to spend a moment to see further into her own future to be able to witness the life of Kashuu Kiyomitsu. More war, more death. A feeling of abandonment. It's no surprise he is so exposed to the spirits of corruption.
She walks over to him, tilting her head to get a better look, and then smiles coyly.]
Is it? I would hope so, it'd be a shame if a beautiful face like yours is saddened by a bad day. Strong and handsome, what more can a girl ask for?
[FANS HIS EGO. Though she's being honest; he's a handsome one, even if he's short. Sign her up to be a Saniwa, gods (this is why she's not allowed.)]
A SHOCKING TWIST--
But oh boy, praise! His favorite!! Even more so than usual lately... It seems that no matter how many compliments he receives, the spark of joy that comes with hearing them has been diminishing faster and faster until it's barely enough to perk him up at all. Some days, they even irk him instead. Is it placation, he can't help but wonder. What do the other swords actually say about him when he's not there to listen? Cruel things, probably. Maybe they talk about how he never really regained his footing after breaking. Does his master join in? That's not kind, that's not kind at all...
Still, he looks pleased, albeit in a strangely distant way.]
Hey, what's this...? If you're gonna show up out of nowhere saying things like that, you'll have to take responsibility for it, y'know.
[kya kya give him more compliments beautiful stranger
Not that it actually seems to do anything for the negativity in the air around him... But there isn't much that's been able to lift his poor moods in quite some time, and he doesn't pay it a lot of attention anyway.]
