Peculiar | Identity V Oneshots [ON HOLD]

♚♢ Snowball [Yidhra + Esper!Reader]

You weren't really the kind of person who would stay up very late, but as of now, it's been two whole days since you last slept. Your precious sleeping time had been stolen away by a book series you discovered in the library. You loved reading so much that you would often lose track of time, but this was the first time that you stayed up for days just reading.

Despite not having slept for two days, you decided to join tonight's match as a 'break' from all that reading.

The map for the match would be Leo's Memory, one of the maps you loved playing on since you were allowed to throw snowballs at eachother. Your teammates were Kurt as the decoder, Andrew as the rescuer, and Fiona for the support. A balanced team with you as the kiter.

A few minutes before the match would begin, Emily insisted that you should sleep instead of joining the match, and that you should allow Patricia to replace you, but you said no. Sleep was for the weak, and you weren't weak.

That was a lie.

You were so weak after not getting rest that your movement speed was comparable to that of a sloth. Decoding with others was a huge problem because you would end up sleeping on the cipher machine, so you ended up decoding alone.

[Meanwhile with the Hunter]

Knowing how late it was, and seeing the tired faces of the survivors, Yidhra decided she would just give the survivors a little spook instead of hunting them down seriously.

In the distance she saw the gravekeeper running towards a machine. He looked sleepy, which made him a perfect target. Yidhra slowly approached him while holding up a snowball. Andrew noticed this, but only saw the snowball.

He rubbed his eyes and looked up again to confirm that he was indeed seeing, a floating snowball.

"I must be dreaming..." He said, yawned, then continued decoding the machine. That was until the menacing floating snowball of his 'imagination' was thrown to his face.

He began panicking and ran screaming, "THIS IS NOT A DREAM. THIS IS NOT A DREAM. THIS IS NOT A DREAM."

'Success!' Yidhra thought to herself and slithered away to find her next victim.

Inside of the shack, she saw you. You looked like you were about to sleep while decoding the machine, another perfect victim for her.

Your eyelids started feeling so heavy that you couldn't keep them up any longer, so you started saying goodnight to your surroundings.

"Goodnight pallet... Good night windows... Good night Cipher Machine... Good night giant snake lady standing behind me with a snowball..."

'Wait what,' you were suddenly wide awake and looked behind you to see that you, indeed, saw a giant snake lady holding a snowball.

"W-what! Who are you?!" you asked, a bit scared because you've never seen her before.

She didn't respond, and continued holding up the snowball thinking you couldn't see her even though you just asked who she was.

"....okay maybe I'm just starting to see things..." You said with your voice going lower.

"Wait you can see me?" Yidhra asked, now realizing that you can, in fact, see her.

"So you are real!" You pointed at her.

"Wait how can you see me?"

"I don't know? with my eyes?"

"But the others can't see me"

"I- oh..."

You wondered if this was the invisible dream witch that Eli had told you about. You didn't think it was her at first because you could see her, but now that you thought about it, maybe you could see her because you were an Esper.

After thinking about it, you said, "maybe it's because I'm an Esper..."

"An Esper, huh, so what can you do?" Yidhra asked you after telling you her name.

"Oh um," You began to explain

Your skills weren't that impressive in your opinion. You could drop pallets and decode machines from a certain distance, and you could vault windows without alerting the hunter since you would make yourself float over them.

Aside from that, you could see the hunter through walls, but only if they were within two meters from you. People said you were like Helena, except your decoding speed was absolutely terrible. You decoded almost as slow as Murro.

"How about you?" You asked Yidhra

"Me?"

"Yeah, what can you do? I mean, I know Bonbon has bombs, Mary has her mirror, Leo has dolls, and Joker has his rocket, but what do you do?"

"Oh... Um..." Yidhra didn't really know how to explain her skill, so she decided to leech you.

You watched as a tiny figure came out from a demonic looking circle on the ground. Yidhra said she could leech survivors with the tiny figure in front of you.

"Oh my God." You said with hands on your mouth

"What?"

"Yidhra is that a child?"

"A wh-"

"Oh my God you can summon children"

"What no-"

"How many children do you have?"

"I do-"

"Who's the father?"

"No-"

"What are their names?"

"The-"

"It's Norton isn't it. That's why they have the pickaxes"

"N-"

"It's okay, it's okay, I can keep secrets," you winked at her.

"LET ME JUST TALK FOR ONE MINUTE YEETUS CHRIST"

And so Yidhra answered all your questions. You felt sorry that she had to hear all the weird assumptions coming from your mouth. You even bowed down and asked for forgiveness as if you commited a mortal sin.

Afterwards, you two had a snowball fight and ended up telling eachother stories without any of the others knowing.

Yidhra was in the middle of telling you a story about how one of her followers had a peeper dance party with a survivor she ended up sparing when she saw that you were fast asleep in a pile of snow. You looked like a snowball, how cute.

[Meanwhile at the Exit Gate]

Kurt and Fiona already went back to the manor since they were also extremely tired and wanted to sleep while Andrew waited by the gate, ready to rescue you in case you got chaired, which would be highly unlikely but he waited anyway because you were one of his close friends.

After a few minutes, he suddenly saw you...

Floating?

He rubbed his eyes again, and he indeed saw you, floating towards him.

"First it was a floating snowball, now it's a floating (y/n)..." He scratched his head and started walking back to the manor, "I really need to sleep..."

Unbeknownst to him, you weren't floating, but you were carried by the Dream Witch. She brought you to your room, and before leaving she said...

"Sweet Dreams... Snowball"
