WHO: Ken Kaneki (AU information)
WHERE: White Tower > Krakoa
WHEN: During September
WHAT: Open log for Kaneki through the event
WARNINGS: Cannibalism, violence, trauma, death, and other NSFW themes.
1. WHITE TOWER; before quantum leap
[ It’s not that Kaneki was born a bad person; he is in fact the epitome of “the way to hell is paved with good intentions” because all of this started with wanting to do good and spiraled down to whatever he is now. Ken is a man in love; he is in love with his wife who is still back in their original world, he is in love with his husband who was ported out years ago – and the love he feels for them, after so many years without them, turned into loss. And loss turned into bitterness, anger, frustration, despair. And Kaneki does not deal well with any of that. He blamed himself at first, but eventually blamed the world.
The world is wrong. The Porter is wrong.
And he is tired of living in the shadow of a machine that nobody really controls – or rather, don’t know how to control. Because, in his mind, he is certain it IS possible to do that. If only he can get to it.
And that’s his plan, to get to it by reaching the highest position as the High Chancellor. He has few bad beans on his way, but he is certain he can pluck them out. And with that single objective in his mind, Kaneki grew to become a member of the Parliament of White Tower, but also a vicious assassin for the faction. Not only that, but his biology – a half-ghoul, who can only consume humans – became well known and he too became well known as the “One Eyed Reaper”, the one who does not leave anything behind (because he eats them, yeah!). And he embraced this title quite well, standing tall, often with an angry expression (also called “resting bitch face syndrome”) and little patience for anyone that will not help his objective.
Few people get to see a much more gentle side of him, often reserved to his current lover Ashlynn, mentor, and allies. Towards everyone else, he is cold, often angry, if not downright vicious. Careful not to step on his toes – he bites. ]
2. WHITE TOWER; post quantum leap
[ waking up in the middle of a room with a woman pretty much on top of him was not something he expected happening, but it is something that did happen. Confusion hit, naturally, but after calming down and speaking to Ashlynn, kaneki learned a bit about this place and the person that he just stole the body from (well, technically it’s himself, right? A version of himself. Kaneki is familiar with alternative timelines by now, if only because that’s what he thinks it happened with that other Kaneki who left last year). Anyway, about what he learned-
None of it was good. And he hates everything he heard.
This world, not only is confusing, but it’s also terrifying, and the person Kaneki just stole the body from – well, he is completely insane. Naturally Ken didn’t share all of his thoughts with Ashlynn, but she probably picked on it from the terrified expressions Ken made. A psychotic killer, an assassin, and someone who willing eats other people, who was recently hired to kill the High Chancellor and wants to take over the place so he can control the Porter. Insane, that person is insane.
Do you know who is not insane? This Kaneki, who actually realizes this is bad. Given how involved original Kaneki was, doesn’t that mean he too is involved, even if he doesn’t want to be? People will recognize him, people will realize it’s not him, and given how murderous this whole faction seems to be, won’t they just go in for an easy kill? Kaneki realizes he is in danger and he realizes he should leave.
Ashlynn has been extremely helpful, but Kaneki doesn’t want to tell her he is planning on leaving (deflecting, that’s the word. Becoming a traitor is also a good way to describe it). But he can’t stay here and thus he decides to at least explore his options. Right now, he can be found at a library, reading through newspapers and articles, learning about the factions and the current state of the world. He is quick to notice Krakoa could a good faction to join but also easy to get to, considering what Ashlynn told him about Josh.
And thinking of him actually makes his face twist. Can he… really just go there and release him? While the woman holding him captive said so, in the end Kaneki is worried if he has to fight someone, too. He doesn’t want to give away that he is not the original Kaneki, and he doesn’t want to be too involved, either. At the same time, it feels so cruel to leave that person, even if Kaneki never met Josh. ] What do I do…? [ with a frustrated sigh, Kaneki passes his hands through his now white hair. Maybe the network… maybe someone else is like him? He can’t be the only one that suddenly just woke up in this place and replaced the original person living here. Right…? ]
For continuity sake, Kaneki will end up figthing Kavinsky after this. That's when he will make a network, asking for help. He will be offered help from Jane Porter (from Krakoa) during this post, but Kaneki decides to go save Josh first. He and Josh will be arriving in Krakoa thanks to Luther's powers.
3. KRAKOA; post-arrival
[ Kaneki arrived to Krakoa a complete and utter mess. He saved Josh and brought him along, and Luther came to pick him and Josh up and of course the man had no idea who Kaneki was (and most likely only knew him as “that guy who eats people”). And then in Krakoa, Kaneki had to try and explain this whole mess and how he really is not that guy who eats people (actually, he does. But not the way the other Kaneki did!!).
To add to all of that, Kaneki killed someone. He promised to himself he’d never kill a person, he’d never kill a human. And he did. It broke him completely, his mind and his heart. And sure the person he killed was an imPort and he was revived, but Ken had never killed before.
The days after his arrival are spent mostly avoiding everyone. Kaneki just wants to be left alone, as far away from people as possible. He stays by the beach while he stares down at his hands, all of him broken thanks to everything that has been happening. He doesn’t even remember how he killed Kavinsky, but everytime he remembers him dead, kaneki gags and actually vomits. He has nothing left in his stomach by now, but that will continue to happen – and he cries and sobs like a child, unable to control himself.
what did he do?!
This shouldn’t be happening. None of this should be happening. Why does everything happen to him? ]
4. KRAKOA; general/happier prompt
[ Naturally, Kaneki can’t just cry forever. He still feels sick and still cries whenever he remembers what he did, but Ken comes to the realization that he… might be here forever. So eventually he moves from his hiding place and actually joins the rest of the island. It’s surprising to see so many children around, but they seem happy and in a way, that calms his heart a little.
From time to time he hears his name and there is a strong feeling of fear and despair creeping right behind him, but it passes soon enough when he notices it’s a kid asking him if he’d like to play. “No, thank you” is always the polite answer he gives, but he does watch the children happily enjoying their time, as if the world outside this island wasn’t completely broken and messed up. Maybe that’s the point of this place.
Neverland.
Well, he is here too, so that makes him one of the lost boys. If he has to live in this world, he is glad he is allowed to be on this island, at least. ]

[At least Kaneki isn't arguing and insulting himself to Katsuki. He thought he would, but maybe his judgment is impaired because he's drunk. That's probably it. Kaneki is warm, and kind, and stupid. He infuriates Katsuki sometimes but right now he just wants to stay with him.]
Night. I wanna-
[His voice dies off into slow, deep breaths as he finally drifts off holding onto Kaneki.]
no subject
And since Bakugou is sleeping, Kaneki will take the chance to reach the farthest part of the fridge where he keeps hidden a small bag with bottles inside. Those are bottles of blood he brought from the mainland when he left White Tower, and currently his source of food. He did get hungry when he was fighting Bakugou, after all.
At least he will leave the small apartment though. There is no way Kaneki will be eating (well, drinking) with Bakugou there. ]
no subject
Shit-
[His head feels like it was hit by a train. He shuts his eyes at first, then opens them up squinting when he realizes he's suddenly colder than he was when he passed out.]
Kaneki?
no subject
Once he is done, he will return to the small apartment, as silently as possible since he doesn't want to wake Bakugou up]
no subject
[Katsuki stumbles out of bed now- stumbles, because fuck, people weren't kidding about hangovers. This sucks, and he feels sick as he rushes out of the bedroom. Whether it's for Kaneki or the bathroom is a mystery.]
no subject
Bakugou? [ he calls out, but he is leaving the room now, to turn on all the lights. Where is he?! He couldn't have left, he wouldn't!]
cw: emetophobia
Ka-
Be right out!
no subject
Well, Kaneki is relieved even if it means Bakugou is now on the toilet puking his guts out. Honestly, it's no surprise, since he drunk like that.
The half ghoul will patiently wait for Bakugou, preparing a glass of water so he can drink after he is done]
no subject
[Katsuki feels like he's dying. It doesn't help that it's fucking bright even with the lights off. He stops to wash his face and hands at the sink and stumbles out, leaning against the wall as he does. But Kaneki is standing there, and something else lurches in his stomach- not exactly bad this time.]
You left.
no subject
Ah. Yeah, for a little while. [ he needed to eat, he wasn't going to do that with Bakugou there] I'm sorry.
no subject
[He stares down at the glass, his face flushed and a bit sweaty. Ugh. Can he even stomach water right now? Tentatively, he lifts the glass to his lips and takes a small sip. And then downs the rest.]
Dry-
no subject
You should rest some more, if you are feeling sick.
no subject
[He frowns when Kaneki takes the glass. Stupid nerd.]
Can't. Got people to kill. I'm fine.
no subject
no subject
Turn it off.
no subject
Bakugou what the hell.
Kaneki sighs] the lights?
no subject
no subject
Kaneki moves to reach for Bakugou's wrist, gently tugging at it. If he has to lay down with him so Bakugou will rest, Ken will]
Alright, let's go back to bed.
no subject
[Katsuki growls, but he doesn't snatch his hand away.]
I rested enough. Just...sit down.
no subject
Do you need anything? I'm not sure what to do to make it better.
... Maybe pharmacy.
no subject
Dunno. Doesn't coffee help or some shit?
