This is a post for me voicetesting Gin. Hit me up with thread starters for Gin (Port Mafia coworkers? Ran into her in casualwear? Enemy organization where she can't just attack you immediately? Generic jamjar? You're dating Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and have to meet the family??) or give me a character and I'll come up with a thread starter.

The Soulmate? Jamjar?? Meme
So whatever you were doing - sleeping, eating, dying - you've been whisked away to a strange place. Well, no, actually it's a pretty cozy-looking apartment, it has an entire fridge and everything - but it definitely is not where you were. You should not have woken up in this apartment's only bed, along with somebody you've never seen before.
After you stop having hilarious misunderstandings with your bedmate, you may make your way outside only to find: it's pretty nice out here? Very 21st century suburbia. Some of the buildings seem a little out of place, like someone requested a jousting arena and a virtual reality room and the Angel did their best to fit them in-
Wait, back up a second.
The giant angel flying by (white wings, halo, radiance, the works), upon seeing you gawking, will happily inform you that this is your new home, and they brought you here because your soulmate was tragically born in another world. But now you're here together, living peacefully with nothing to stop your love from blossoming!
And no, they won't send you back. You'll be much happier here once you get used to it. Living side by side with your soulmate and being encouraged to get to know them, or get to know them, what else do you need?
Options, because we like options:
1. Soulmates are a known thing. Apply all the soulmate tropes you wish - not seeing color until you meet your soulmate, having your soulmate's name written on your body, etc. You can tell that at least the Angel's claims about this person being your soulmate are true. It doesn't necessarily make things less awkward.
2. Soulmates, what hogwash! Soulmates aren't a thing that everyone knows about and everyone has where you're from. You might believe in them, but you also believed in Santa when you were younger. Or you might think this whole thing is stupid, and your growing attachment to your 'soulmate' is just a coincidence.
(Post with character name/canon name/shipping preference. Due to the nature of this meme, cross-canon CR is encouraged and almost essential unless you have some alternate universe shenanigans in your canon.)
For miasthma.
Dec. 30th, 2017 01:16 amgoatsongs[So the City was a pain, but Chuuya went home eventually. Everyone did at some point - Ryuunosuke before him, and others before him. That wasn't a surprise so much as it was sudden.
Equally sudden, and more surprising, was finding himself in a completely different city a few months after that. At least this one was a little less sex-obsessed and easier to identify: Yokohama. The Yokohama that contained the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, specifically.
Chuuya doesn't have Ryuunosuke's address or anything, and he doesn't think the Port Mafia has a big sign on its headquarters. They probably work out of someplace nondescript that you'd overlook anyway, if they're smart.
What he does have is an ability to recognize the shady parts of town and linger longer than he should, and an incredible lack of self-preservation that will lead him to ask similarly lingering people:]
'Scuse me, I'm looking for a guy named Ryuunosuke - tall, usually wearing black, wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley?
[If nothing else, he's going to give Akutagawa's subordinates a stroke just by calling their commander by his first name only.]

Dec. 14th, 2017 03:26 pmthesettingsun[Very few people get this dressed up for a bar crawl. It looks like it'd be hell to wash, and the only reason you'd wear it out to the bar is an obsession with fashion.
So that's one clue about who this patron sitting at a table is, since he forgot to tell other-Dazai how to identify himself. As for him, when he sees Dazai come in with bandages visible on his arms, he makes an (incorrect) assumption that this is the injury that caused that text and thus this is Dazai.
Well, he's half right, at least.]
Dazai!

chazukefang, wedding thread.
Nov. 20th, 2017 09:46 pmgoatsongs[Atsushi deserved the world, and he deserved a beautiful wedding. Chuuya couldn't legally give him a marriage - while Atsushi might have had papers sorted out to be able to live in his world as a regular person, Chuuya was a spirit. There wasn't any way to marry someone who didn't exist as a person.
But a wedding, he could do.
The authors had been all too eager to help Chuuya and Atsushi with arrangements. The Chief Librarian and the Cat had found a Shinto priest willing to do the blessings, Dazai had helped Atsushi pick out a hakama to wear at the wedding.
And as for Atsushi's end, Fukuzawa had insisted on paying for everything - ceremony, reception, food, outfits, the works. Everyone who wasn't Dazai was excited about Atsushi's wedding, and even Dazai had been lectured into not being visibly grumpy about it.
The temple is nearby, practically in walking distance, but Chuuya and Atsushi are being driven there (again, Chief Librarian) so they don't have to worry about getting their hakama dirty. So all that has to be done is to get in the car.
But Chuuya has forgotten how to walk, or think, or do anything but stare at Atsushi in his wedding outfit, the first time Chuuya's seen him in it.]
...Atsushi, you're beautiful.

So when Alice sees a student staring blankly at a map, of course she's willing to offer assistance! ...It doesn't hurt that he's a cute boy.]
Lost, by any chance?

goatsongs[Starting around the 15th of October, until the 22nd, Chuuya starts acting weirdly.
He doesn't want to be alone, ever. He won't go as far as physically clinging to you, but he'll make up excuses for joining you in whatever you're doing, even if it's as boring as watching grass grow. He's not as argumentative or bristly as he usually is.
He overeats, to the point of being bloated, and if he's questioned on it he gives a pained expression and changes the subject.
He doesn't drink alcohol. Not even one drop.
Whether you're in the National Library, or the City, or Yokohama, or anywhere - this is all alarming behavior for Chuuya. It might be time to ask him if something's going on.
Or you could just yell at him for bothering you for the third time in as many days, that's fine too, but don't be too surprised if you bring him to extremely uncharacteristic tears.]

A voice on the intercom informed them that they have been selected to be part of the elite group that repopulates their world after the Calamity. However, they only have so many resources to send out, and so in order to make sure that they only use the smartest and the strongest, they're gonna have you murder each other.in order to escape.]

Sep. 24th, 2017 09:36 pmgoatsongs[Chuuya has spent the past month not letting Atsushi read any of his poetry.
This isn't typical for him. He often reads his poetry to Atsushi, asks if it flows well or if the images come across clearly. Even when he doesn't, he doesn't usually shoo Atsushi away if he stumbles upon him writing.
But for the past month, Chuuya hasn't shared any poetry and all, and when Atsushi finds him writing he'll immediately hide his paper before Atsushi can even get a glance and refuses to talk about what it is he's working on.
Tonight, Chuuya seems even more nervous.]
...Hey, Atsushi. Are you busy tonight?

And people like this guy, dressed in a way too flashy outfit for just book shopping, who when he sees Odasaku looking at the third book in a series, comes right over to talk to him. Despite them having never seen each other before in their lives.]
How is that series? I've been thinking of picking it up.

Jul. 16th, 2017 07:53 pmdiaryofmayfly[One of the benefits of living in or near Toyko is being able to visit the National Library. For a bookworm like Tsumugi, it's especially a plus.
Not all of the library is open to the public, of course, and there are areas where you can read books but not check them out of the building. But some of it functions like a normal library, and it's in one of those areas that a walking stack of books approaches Tsumugi.
It's actually just a relatively short person carrying a large stack of books that completely obscures his face. It's wobbling a little, and he's so focused on making sure that the books don't get jostled too much that he has no idea that he's about to walk right into someone.]

Jun. 25th, 2017 05:05 pmdevilsboringness[Of course, the attempted arson of Yokohama's biggest library makes the news. It's a huge library - not as big as the National Library, but certainly a sizable collection of books. It's 'attempted' arson because the fire was noticed quickly and put out before it could destroy more than a small section of the library.
The news reports the time of the arson, four o'clock in the morning, but doesn't specifically mention that this was long after library hours had ended - and that it would be strange for someone to be inside the library at the time, like there was.
Perhaps it's not surprising that someone walks in the detective agency the next day.]
Yooo. Got an arson job I'm looking to get detective-d.
[He looks like an asshole motorcyclist - leather jacket, fingerless gloves, and sunglasses that he's not going to take off when inside. He's not actually a motorcyclist, but he gives off that kind of air, all confidence and swagger.]
