The Alternate Universe Meme

1. Comment with your character.

AUs can be any AU of any kind, but if you need ideas, I have this masterlist and this tumblr to get you started.

[Chuuya nods. In actuality it was more like scolding, if that.]

I wasn't even doing anything wrong.

[...This is doubtful.]

[aquaticrush]

I'm sure they just don't want you to get hurt, but Shirogane-san can be a little harsh. He did summon us for a reason.

[goatsongs]

[I googled him and wow this guy definitely has to be older to be employed at the library]

Just because he's saving books doesn't mean he has to be a jerk about it.

[aquaticrush]

[he runs a restaurant at 15 in canon because screw the rules, he has money]

I suppose, but he's nice to me... I mean, well, he doesn't yell at me when I drop something.

[Same thing, really.]

[goatsongs]

You've got really low standards.

[This is something Chuuya has said to her before, a lot.]

[aquaticrush]

[This is why she's friends with an angry child.]

But it's really nice to have people who don't get upset with me all the time!

[goatsongs]

Low standards! Get better friends!

[aquaticrush]

But I'm dead... [sulk] Really, it's okay. I know I'm not really, um, a role model for being strong or brave or anything, but I think they're nice people.

[goatsongs]

Just because you're dead doesn't mean you can't talk to living people. You talk to me.

[Not that they're friends or anything.]

[aquaticrush]

I suppose. I hope it isn't too much trouble, with everything else you've got to deal with.

[goatsongs]

Just because I'm saving people from monsters doesn't mean I don't have any social life. It's easier with you instead of somebody who doesn't know, anyway.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose. Are you getting along with your teammates? Do you think you've found them all yet? I mean, everyone who was injected with those samples like you were.

[goatsongs]

How am I even supposed to know how many there are? There's a lot of endangered animals out there.

[They could be searching for a while.]

[aquaticrush]

They can't have injected that many people! ...I think.

[goatsongs]

I don't know how expensive this stuff is, but I'd believe they could've injected as many people as they wanted to.

[aquaticrush]

At least that should be a help, right?

[goatsongs]

Have you ever tried to get a class's worth of middle school boys to agree on anything?

[aquaticrush]

...I guess not. But that means there are more people to fight, doesn't it?

[goatsongs]

There's that. I don't know how we'd get by if there were only five of us, or something ridiculous like that.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose. There aren't too many here, but we're trying to manage. And we're all adults -- you're too young to be dealing with this sort of thing alone. Um, I don't mean any offence with that.

[goatsongs]

Then maybe they should've injected some adults with magic endangered animal powers.

[They're doing their best, okay?]

[aquaticrush]

I'm really sorry!

[It's kind of sad how she's still like this when she's the adult and he isn't.]

But I know you're doing everything you can, and the people of the city really seem to appreciate you.

[goatsongs]

You know you don't have to apologize for things you had literally no part in, right? Unless you're part of the animal-power-conspiracy.

[Why is this adult like this.]

[aquaticrush]

But it seemed like what I said insulted you.

[goatsongs]

I'm easily insulted.

[At least he's self-aware about it.]
