call me out v. 13.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

[Dazai is at the center of many shenanigans, but he's also not going to just leave the dragon girl(?) alone. Mostly because... dragons have hoards full of gold and stuff, right? Getting into one's good graces could solve all his debt problems forever-]

What're you reading?

[aphrodissonance]

[ guess who was somewhat distracted by said book, and poofs up magnificently in surprise before she catches herself and deflates. ]

... a romance novel, at the moment. I'm afraid it's nothing high-brow.

[thesettingsun]

[Poofy dragon... cute.]

Nothing wrong with popular literature. I've written a few lowbrow pieces in my day.

[aphrodissonance]

[ ...but is it as lowbrow as the racy trash she's currently got her paws on, is the question. the question that she is absolutely not going to ask. ]

Oh— of course there's nothing wrong with it, but it is still somewhat embarrassing to admit to considering what else I currently have the chance to read.

[thesettingsun]

[Not that trashy, no. Mostly comedies.]

Some of the other writers might judge you, but I would never.

[aphrodissonance]

I appreciate that. I'm not overly bothered by other people's judgements, but it can be tiresome.

You're... "Dazai," was it?

[thesettingsun]

Dazai Osamu, the one and only~

[No he doesn't care that his works probably don't exist in her novel.]

[aphrodissonance]

[ inclining her head ]

I'm... I believe it would be "Setwall Iris" using the name conventions here. It's nice to meet you.

[thesettingsun]

The pleasure's all mine!

I'm sure you've been asked this plenty already, but what is the life of a dragon like where you're from? I've never met one before.

[aphrodissonance]

[ amused ]

I wouldn't actually know, seeing as I haven't met one either. I'm afraid I'm almost certainly not one myself, even if there is some resemblance.

[thesettingsun]

Oh! Sorry, I just thought - what are you, then?

[aphrodissonance]

[ she tucks her legs under her into a proper loaf, one wing half-opening in a sort of dismissive wave— it's fine, he's fine. ruefully: ]

We're not actually sure. There are a number of creatures I share features with, but none of them entirely match.

[thesettingsun]

So you're something totally unique... that's amazing!

[she's so cool]

[aphrodissonance]

[ pleased fluffing ]

I don't know if I'd go that far; the world is wide, after all. However, I'm flattered that you think so.

[thesettingsun]

Until proven otherwise, you're one of a kind.

[And since probably not everyone in the world is written out in her light novel, that's probably actually true.]

[aphrodissonance]

[ not quite... but that big reveal isn't for a while yet. there are at least two or three more volumes until then.

the fluff is NOT quitting. you might even call her fluffstered. ]

Well... I suppose that's true even without taking my race into consideration... It's somewhat embarrassing, really. —n-not that I mean to brag?

[thesettingsun]

[Cute cute cute.]

There's nothing wrong with a little bragging! I do it all the time.

[aphrodissonance]

You're an author, though, aren't you? I'm sure you've written things worthy of being bragged about.

[thesettingsun]

Of course - you should read them when you get a chance - but I'm sure you've done plenty worth bragging about too.

[aphrodissonance]

[ nodding earnestly—of course she'll read them once she's finished her undignified comfort reading binge—but her eartufts flatten out to the sides. ]

Not yet. I'm still in university.

... Unless you want to count navigating noble politics while being an easy target, which upon thought I think I will.

[thesettingsun]

That sounds plenty hazardous.

[He has a hard enough time navigating literature circles' politics, much less nobility with assassinations and responsibilities and stuff.]

[aphrodissonance]

[ dry ]

It's... certainly something. Human girls can be terrible enough to their own; I'm lucky to be in a position where none of them want to get caught trying to outright bully me.

[thesettingsun]

I'd love to be in that position. Can you give me any tips?

[chuuya picks on him all the time... please...]

[aphrodissonance]

[ wincing ]

None that are easily applicable. My protection has more to do with my circumstances than my own behavior.

...I have found that not rising to attempts to get a reaction helps, though.

[thesettingsun]

That... might be difficult for me, but I'll try...

[He's an extremely reactive person.]
