probably like the day after the gala

[doublesmall]

oi, reporter boy

do I still have the right number, think I still had this saved after that interview

if you have a minute then I want to talk to you in person

now that i am not drowning in christmas

[bakaomi]

I have a name
But yeah, sure
I'm around

[doublesmall]

well i saved your number under reporter boy, sorry

takaomi right?

meet me in about 20 minutes

[there's an address attached! it's for a place that tends to stay pretty crowded, but not without a few tables that are more tucked away; chuuya's grabbed one of those, where they'll still be able to hear each other but there's plenty of background noise to drown them out to others. shady habits die hard.]

[descried]

[in kangai's continued quest to find someone else who hasn't been remixed—]

... Hey, uh. Let me know if you're normal, okay?

[bakaomi]

[ huh ]

If by normal you mean what we talked about before?

[descried]

Yes! [he sounds so relieved.] I tried contacting someone else, but he hasn't responded...

OH MY?

[fracturamods]

[Good evening!

At some point when Tsukasa and Takaomi are both together, they will suddenly be accosted by a young lady all dressed in fine silks and soft, fair makeup. It seems as though she's a courtesan in training from the Xian Le side of town. She nearly trips over her sandals but looks very relieved to find them - ]

Perverts! Infiltrators...!!

[You'll have to excuse her, she's a little bit out of breath.]

Disgusting, uninvited men at the courtesan house!

[She won't rest until the two of them are guided to the courtesan house in question - you have NPC rights to her as you need as this mod comment will conclude our involvement!

As a result of an investigation, Takaomi and Tsukasa will find Akira (survivaltricks) and Minato (messianic) at the courtesan house in question, cross-dressing and done up in makeup, and will be expected to make the arrest to bring the two of them into jail. Please contact their players (Al and Cal) in order to thread this out!]

Hey, officer. Got a moment?

[bakaomi]

Uh huh. What's up?

[ it better not be something stupid ]

[descried]

[haha!]

... Can we meet up? Not too sure how much I wanna rely on this telepathy thing.

like a day later

[descried]

[leaving a psychic voicemail...]

So... the Xian Le family suddenly decided they wanted to buy the shop across from where I work—and conveniently turn it into a rival to my workplace?

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but it doesn't exactly feel like a coincidence.

[bakaomi]

[ STARES INTO THE CAMERA LIKE HE'S IN THE OFFICE ]

No, that's pretty suspicious.

Have you told anyone else besides me?

voice

[descried]

[hi, taka, are you ready for your latest update]

You know how you said to try and get what I could out of a Xian Le?

[he sounds so tired]

[bakaomi]

[ he is immediately

Concerned ]

... what happened.

[descried]

[time to touch some dead bodies while he still can! good thing taka is used to this, apparently.]

... Those two worked here. According to Kano, one of them hated my guts. [...] They never worked the same shifts as me, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who killed Robert Gilmore—no wonder they'd be avoiding me, in that case.

[not that he'd be able to recognize them if they were, but who would know that?

a beat.]

Uh, I'm probably going to faint for a bit here, so... don't be too alarmed?

[bakaomi]

Hm... right. I'll try to catch you.

[ he

he makes no promises whatsoever

and he figures any other questions he has can wait until after this. happens. ]

[fracturamods]

[Hello lovebirds! Hope you aren't feeling too sour grapes over the Date Auction fiasco or the, uh... murder!

You'll find yourself being handed a gift basket by one of the volunteers who worked the Date Auction now that they've finalized all the bids. It'll contain a single unhinged lock (no key) as a suggestion to maybe make a promise with your beloved on Peony Bridge, as well as a letter to announce your date:

Your winning bid was by Shuuya Kano in the amount of $5.02.

Have a memorable Azalea Lights Festival! All proceeds from the Date Auction will be sent full of love to charity. ♥

Isn't that nice? :) What a good cause. ]

[suddenlybees]

I can't believe this gift basket cost me $5.02.

[ And Taka is the consolation prize. The lock gets stuffed into Kano's pocket. Everything in the basket gets stuffed into his pockets. He is going to wear the basket like a hat. He bought all this junk so now it's his. ]

[bakaomi]

Do you want me to hit you?

[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A CONSOLATION PRIZE or a prize. who signed him up for this. ]

voice

[descried]

[at some point over the last week, probably before the disaster but who knows]

Hey, if your partner dies, it was via alligator, because of course there's one in the goddamn sewers—!

[kangai may or may not respond after this, but. he thought he should maybe let someone know?]

[bakaomi]

[ it's fine, taka's only real response is just a, ]

Goddammit.

it's not3 youkai time | backdated to meteor shower

[usogi]

[this is backdated to meteor shower for one reason only - and that is the fact that senri is a little bitch who's freaking out because he was probably bringing back groceries from town when the sky started fucking falling? he narrowly dodged out of the path of a falling rock but it's why he's going to rush back to the shrine now, looking for shelter as usual

he's probably a lightly singed bunny now, with one leg of his haori looking a bit burnt. he's throwing himself at the closest person (or demon, as it may be) which is how he's probably going to slam right into An Emo]

The sky, the sky!! How do we make it stop?!

i hate this

[moralmyopia]

[Francy can't get out of this so easily.

Which means he is having a short (it's short probably, like, "shit the sky is falling" short) chat to Takaomi when Senri decides to dive-bomb his back. Growling, he puts a foot out when he stumbles forward, but it's too close.

So he goes barreling into Takaomi arms first, and the three of them either go toppling over into a pile, or just get really squished.]

[bakaomi]

[ everything is terrible??

it's early in the day, and takaomi is once again suffering the effects of the annoying buzzing. it's usually not that bad at work, just because he's typically with someone most of the time, but he doesn't have to go in until later. terrible.

so, for now, he's just sitting on the floor of the shrine, wishing for a quick death. ]

[usogi]

[well

guess who isn't going to be very good at dealing with the buzzing at all?? which means that he's immediately going to scatter to takaomi's side, seat himself next to him, breath IN REALLY DEEPLY - and then sigh at the buzzing already starts to subside]

Better.
