I…well! Still can’t figure out the portraits for mafia!vessalius so uhhh have some sketches instead I guess…

• jack & oz are cousins 10 years apart, and jack is completely and utterly yandere for three people: lacie, oswald, and oz. zai tried making him into the perfect assassin and it backfired when jack accidentally injured lacie and oswald, breaking him and turning him insane. the baskervilles kept him under solitary confinement after his psychotic break, but he breaks out and fucks shit up and basically uses his cousin to try and destroy the city the families preside over.
• oz is a cheery fifteen year old who loves guns, flirting, and dumping cats into gil’s car. when provoked, he can go into a trance that turns him into a killing machine, something that jack had had him hypnotized into acquiring.
• oscar vessalius is the head of the family and he’s badass. he ain’t taking shit from jack!
• alice is an amnesiac girl oz found the day his father sent him off into a suicide mission. she has preternatural skill with any weapon they throw at her, which is weird, so they go find out why she’s weird………………(she’s lacie’s clone, created by the Abyss, a ~mysterious organization~ that the baskervilles answer to, aww yiss)

a Very Serious Situation

Images I used for this video, set 1/3.

The mood for this MMV was supposed to be ‘sad and quiet’, because Hirari Hirari stuck with me so much when I first listened to it. I really like Miku’s Append Dark expansion!

Red was to be the unifying motif throughout. I had the idea of using chains but I don’t like drawing that many chains e_e. Everyone was also supposed to be in white underclothes/sleepwear.

When the links start to wear, slowly within,

Please, don’t ever let those ties begin to tear,
Or lose them to the wind.

(Gilbert and Vincent are the only characters who have red ribbons around their little fingers.)

When the seasons change their flow to a spin,
When the links start to wear, slowly within,
Please, don’t ever let those ties begin to tear,
Or lose them to the wind.

Weighed down by the words I could not let myself forget,
They would fill me with deep regret, when
I began to drift peacefully through a soothing fantasy,
Then awoke to discover you had disappeared.

Tying up the appearance I wanted to embrace,
Softly scattering colors of orange without a trace,
Carving pain through my heart which was now an empty space, it’s

Fluttering, Fluttering, Fluttering,

To the sky, to the sea or to someplace far away,
I’d try, to deliver a lasting bond that time couldn’t fray,
But instead, all the colors of the ties that we have made, are

Fluttering and Fluttering away.
