Summary
Skull, although forever seen as ‘the civilian’ and thus looked down upon, always prided himself in at least being good at what he could do.
Those things did not necessarily correlate to things that he just.. knew. No actual reason he knew, and he didn’t recall why either. Things that he shouldn’t have known. (lost history. languages. And things that, in general, a ‘civilian’ stuntman shouldn’t know)
It happened way too often for the others to keep questioning him about it when they realized he genuinely didn’t have a clue (they certainly did try for a long time though).

Summary
Skull, by chance, was on his phone around the Shibuya station, all dressed up for Halloween and surrounded by many civilians alike. Luckily he looked old enough to be there, imagine he was still a baby…
It wasn’t often he got to return to his native country (well, he had other nationalities in his blood, but this was his home!), but Halloween (for the most part) was the day that he was able to set free. Well, not free free, it wasn’t like he was being chained down, the Cloud in him would never stand for it.
But it was more like a day where he didn't have to worry about responsibilities.

OR, Skull is there for the Shibuya incident.
(note for manga spoilers / hints / implications for future arcs)what i want to do is write more of this. of potential scenes but without the pressure of having to finish a multi-chaptered story. it'll probably be drabbles in-universe. What-ifs, and/or other in-universe stuff of the story.

Summary
Conversations could be heard behind the door, and Skull nervously bit his lip.
He looked down at the head in his hands for guidance.
“Niisan..”
Hair as dark as grape wine shifted in his grasp, and a familiar face stared up at him, similar to his own lighter plum-colored hair, “It’ll be okay my precious Sku-chan. Your big brother will protect you.”
The younger held the head tighter to himself, as if hugging a stuffed animal to muster up the courage, before shifting his grasp and pushing the door open.
All talking ceased, and heads snapped towards him, causing him to flinch.
“A-Ano…”
It was eerily quiet for a long while, as if trying to process the sight of his niisan without a body, alive and in his hands.
“Me and Sku-chan apologize for being late.”
Taking the signal for what it was, he bowed towards the group, before finally letting his eyes roam over them curiously.

Skull has a brother. He's just a bodyless head. I don't know why I wrote this.

Summary
“Rei!” A young voice cried, and his golden eyes shifted, making an inquisitive noise as he shifted back and forth on his feet.
They grinned in the stuntman’s direction. “What’s up?”
“The show's about to start! ..And you know the Great Skull-sama can’t do one without you..”
He hummed. “I think you underestimate how capable you really are, but that’s okay. I was just contemplating, that’s all. About how nice it is that we’re both free.”
Skull softened. “You’re the one that brought us here. I mean, sure, maybe there was the possibility that it could’ve all gone wrong when we tried to run away, but… You’ve been by my side since day one. I wouldn’t be nearly as happy if you weren’t here with me.”
Skull knew they got uncomfortable with these kinds of talk towards them, however, so he pulled the conversation to a different direction, smiling brightly. “Besides, the Great Skull-sama needs his loyal assistant, no? He wouldn’t be half of where he was without them!”
“Mm.”
“C’mon, it’s starting! We gotta go!”
He snickered at the expression on the stuntman’s face, and obliged.

Summary
At that moment, it felt like a blur.
Of thing happening after thing, where it all suddenly went wrong after showing a glimmer of hope.
(“Assassins… I am the Widower. Please try to put up a fight.”)
Where they were ambushed.
Tim.. remembered…
(“Z!” “You’re dead! Do you hear me!? You’re–!”)
..
He recalled the blade that pierced through his skin. Remembered feeling like it was burning him alive, and he—
He’d felt–
(—flames.)

Summary
Viper had a secret.
..About their identity.
Truthfully, it had started back during the second titan war.
They were a camper at Camp Half-Blood. A child of Hecate.
No one important, really. They didn’t know many of the others there, nor did they particularly care.
That was why it didn’t hurt that much to be exiled.
It was to be expected, and was a much better fate then many others who had joined Kronos.

OR, Viper's a demigod. It doesn't actually change much.
(Cloud flames not included. False advertising, I know, but I've always seen Mist as another form of Cloud. Or like, related to each other, where they could share characteristics without actually *being* it.)Series

Summary
Skull always felt like he’d lived a different life, seeing things through a distant lens. All throughout childhood to his teenage years, he’d felt like he had a purpose he was meant to fulfill. That anything else he’d done would end up being a passing hobby, and that in time that purpose would find him and he’d be complete.
That was why nothing ever felt permanent. Why he’d never really found it in himself to care that much more for things beyond a passing fancy.
The circus seemed interesting, so he’d joined it on a whim, leaving behind the name Virgil, for Cherep, gifted to him by the performers (it almost sounded like cherish, and that thought made him warm, as one of the youngest members), and his public show name to be the blunter Skull.
Doing stunts became another fun thing. An adrenaline junkie he sure was. It wasn’t like anything would stick anyway, would it? Anytime he’d gotten injured, it’d been healed in an instant.
That was where he’d gotten the name ‘The Immortal Stuntman.’
Consequences wouldn’t stick, so why should he care?
And then he’d found his purpose.
Of a familiar man with a checkered pattern.
