Games are hard and we are all very tired, but I stil do want to play out Recolle things, both with the characters I actually had in the game and characters I thought of AUs for. So please consider this a CMO for whoever you want to play off of out of these choices:

Bungou to Alchemist

SHUJI TSUSHIMA

Took five million years to graduate college, but eventually managed it, and published a novel! Hates his past self and everything he stands for. Turned into a book spirit thing that bleeds ink, is dealing with that okay. Cynical, jaded to most unreality things after a couple years on the app. Thinks scythes are stupid weapons even if they do turn into books for easy travel size.

Dazai Osamu

Fate/Extra CCC

SHINJI MATOU

A small child who does not deserve this. Bratty, spoiled as an only child, but bright enough to back it up and doing his best. Has a presence in the online video gaming community without revealing that he's a child. Probably should not have remembered dying twice before the age of ten. Owns a robot with lasers.

Matou Shinji

Tales of Vesperia

DRORIT SHAPIRO

Significantly less anime hair. Still cheerful, still would Fite You if you messed with her friends, but a lot healthier and more conventionally loving relationship with her parents. Dad is a preschool teacher and not Whatever Yeager Is. A nice Jewish girl.

Droite

Fate/Zero

RYUUNOSUKE URYUU

Not a murderer, so there's that. Watches ultra realistic horror movies and would totally watch a snuff film if he had one, but doesn't have any urge to go out and kill people. A student of marine biology specializing in deep sea creatures, aka the most horrifying things on the planet. Most likely to excitedly post a picture of some terrifying thing on the network.

Uryuu Ryuunosuke

Hollow Knight

GREG "GRIMM" THOMPSON

Looks human up until he suddenly doesn't. Runs a circus troupe, but Greg isn't really an appopriate name for that so he goes by Grimm there. Much more flamboyant in the ring than out of it. Had a falling out with his sister, we don't talk about it. Gets Grimmchild as a regain and is pretty awkward about this being his child that looks nothing like him, or like a human at all, but still loves them and spoils them.

Grimm

The Miskatonic

ANNABEL "ANNIE" COOK

Came over from England but her accent isn't nearly as pronounced. A rebellious spirit with a bad relationship with her family. At some point makes a very panicked post about what to do if you suddenly have cravings and she's not saying they're cravings for eating people but they might be cravings for eating people. Learns to hang upside down from the ceiling and starts doing that all the time.

I lost sleep over this, Brumm.

[He's never completely put away the childhood nickname.]

[ Seeing that name now always feels painful, makes a tight and foreign twist of guilt knot in his chest -- though he doesn't remember why. He's not sure if he wants to remember why.

But it's text so none of that shows, it's fine. He's fine. ]

Well

Now you wont lose any more sleep over it

Probably

[Bairre in a room on fire: This is fine.]

Hopefully not. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry. But it's sweet that you were so concerned.

[ That's just how Bairre deals with things! By just..never dealing with them much.

Sweet. That throws him off in a unique way, two sets of memories converging in the same unmistakeable feeling.

(It's so embarrassing to realise that even across two different lives he's always loved him.)

This is stupid. Everything is stupid. His face shouldn't be hot but it is. ]

Of course I was concerned!! you called me at 3 am and didnt leave a message

I thought something bad had happened!!

[Over two lifetimes, Bairre has always been endearing and cute. This Greg knows for a fact.]

Don't people mainly leave messages when it's something important?

[ And Greg has always been INSUFFERABLE AND STRESSFUL because he can read Bairre like a book, ultimately. ]

When you wake me up with weird questions you text me though

[ Maybe he's just more anxious than usual, for no specific reason. It certainly seems that way. ]

[sadly, Greg will continue to be Greg, and even being Grimm won't make things any better.]

Maybe I missed hearing your voice.

[Brumm doesn't talk much, but that only means Greg treasures hearing his voice at all.]

[ If anything, Grimm is worse. Some things always stay the same. ]

Haha okay.

Couldn't wait until tomorrow?

[ Even if he's not involved with the shows Greg puts on at all, in a production or performance role, he still comes to all of them. It was just a thing to do, to support his friend when he was starting out.

Now it's a habit. ~~Or a longing. He doesn't know.~~ ]

Nope~ Besides, I'm always so busy with the show that I don't get to just sit and talk to you as much as I want.

[He appreciates the support, he really does. Even though Brumm's never taken him up on the job offer, it means a lot just that he keeps coming.]

That makes sense

[ There's a long pause in which Greg would be entirely forgiven if he thought Bairre had just gone to sleep. ]

I can call you now ifyou want

[ He sends the text off in a rush before he can regret his decision. ]

[Bairre's answer comes in the form of Greg calling him.

Yes, he does want, thank you.]

[ Bairre's voice is always on the quiet side, like he forgets what speaking is like. Right now, in the middle of the night, it's no different. ]

...I don't have anything much to talk about.

Just...

So you know.

[ No matter how many years they've been friends, it's always the same. He's bad at small talk, and he always sounds like he's still kind of permanently disbelieving that Greg wants to talk to him.

(He's always been more comfortable with music, but he gave that up, too. Almost. He still plays and practices as time allows, with nobody to hear him.) ]

That's alright.

[Greg knows what Bairre is like, and he doesn't expect Bairre to change. They could hardly be called friends if Greg thought Bairre was going to become someone else for him.]

How was your day?

[ It's an unsettling feeling to realise just how much he'd be willing to do for his friend (?), as he regains his memories. Some things stay the same, over two lifetimes.

He can't help but smile at Greg's acceptance, though. That's always the comforting thing about him; he simply accepts Bairre's silence, doesn't push him. ]

Mrm...same as usual. Mostly.

I was...really looking forward to tomorrow, though. [ The words make his voice sound even quieter than it usually does. ] Work wasn't very good...but that helped.

You're too cute.

[As Bairre has always been, and always will be in two lifetimes.]

I'll have to make tomorrow's show perfect for you ♥

[Not that he wouldn't try his best anyway, but. It's different with Bairre.]

I'm not-! [ He'd almost forgotten the whole crush thing for a blissful minute and now it's back in full force and his face is red. His voice pitches sharply to somewhere between a squeak and a yelp, which doesn't help his protests at all.

He's glad this is a call and not in person. He's never been gladder than he is right now.

If it wasn't 3 am and he was already worried he wouldn't say what he's about to say, but he does. It sounds small and lonely, slipping out without warning. ] Don't tease me like that.

[ MOVING ON HE DIDNT SAY THAT IT'S FINE HE'S FINE ]

You always work hard on your shows. So- I'll enjoy it.

[It's hard not to tease when Bairre opens himself up for it so much. It's not like he's wrong - Bairre is cute. Even more so when he squeaks like that. How Bairre is still single is a mystery.

But he also doesn't want to make Bairre actually upset, so he'll back off.]

I do always work hard. But you always coming to them certainly doesn't hurt.
