video | un: TeaOnRice | locked from Chuuya
Hello, everyone. I hope you're having a good day!
[Have an enthusiastic Atsushi, with his white tiger cub in his lap. He even makes the cub wave at the camera - which it accepts, even though it playfully attacks Atsushi's hand immediately afterwards. Atsushi is such an embarrassing egg mom...]
For everyone who knows Chuuya Nakahara-san: it's going to be his birthday on the 29th! We'll have a party at the mansion, and you're all invited. It's not a secret as such, but maybe don't talk about it unless you have to? It would be fun to surprise him with how many people show up. It's in Olympia, but anyone coming in from Wyver - well... We'll find a way to let you stay the night, so please don't worry about it!
[He has one guest bedroom, and other people can use the couch, or share beds, or -... The important thing is that everyone who wants to come should come!]
One thing that is a secret:
Since Chuuya-san likes alcohol, I'm getting a bar installed at the mansion. I think it would be really nice if everyone could give him a bottle of something or other to fill it up! I'm sure he would appreciate that as a gift.
I hope to see you on the 29th!
[The address is attached. Come one, come all!]

voice! id: RK
[ Rohan already knew about Chuuya's birthday from infomodding him before, but he doesn't like that guy too much now so he doesn't care!! Oops. ]
voice, then~
[They just used to be enemies, and now they're living together and sometimes banging. You know, the usual.]
How have you been, Rohan-san?
no subject
[ One where Yokohama is just a port city ridden with tourists and isn't controlled by the ...mafia. Anyway, Atsushi's nice, polite and has some impressive strength. Rohan actually likes him so far. ]
I have been alright, though it hasn't been easy getting money. It must be nice to have a mansion just for yourself. [ Rohan likes to claim he doesn't care about money, but honestly, he misses being able to buy anything that catches his fancy without having to worry about putting food on the table. It's been a long time since he's been poor.
So he's going to get slightly passive-aggressive at Atsushi for it. ]
no subject
Oh, I would never want to live here alone! It's far too big for that. I don't think I could sleep.
You're sure to find a job you like! There are so many options, the hard thing is deciding what to pick!
[Does the job come with a salary you like? Thaaaat could be another story.]
Meanwhile, you could come over for dinner sometimes, if you like! It's not much, but it will help cut down on spending, right?
no subject
Especially after Rohan was catty at him before. He pauses, waiting for some kind of catch? But there's none. ]
We've only just met, and you're not only inviting me into your house, but giving out free food?
no subject
We're all new on this planet. I just happened to be one of the first to arrive. Admittedly, making a life for myself here was more to create a place for everyone from home who might wake up, but now I think that all of us refugees are in the same boat. In that way, you're as much a friend as anyone from my world would be.
1/2
You have a very naive way of thinking. It's not a bad thing, though. I happen to admire people who manage to be equally strong and kind. You'd make a good main character in a manga.
no subject
[ does he look!!! so poor!!!!! rohan doesn't like to receive help. he can come visit from time to time though, because he likes atsushi so far. ]
no subject
[Yeah, write that Port Mafia spin-off we all deserve, Rohan! You know you want to.
Charity, though...]
T-That's not it!! [That's... kind of it. Atsushi is embarrassed at being called out, but he also gets a little irritated. This isn't his fault! Even if it totally feels like it. And the fact that it feels like it, even though he knows better, is what annoys him more than anything else.] It's just -... You're the one who said it hasn't been easy, getting money! And I don't think anyone deserves to go hungry, so...
no subject
[ There. Sorry Atsushi had to endure Rohan's attempt to coddle his own pride. ]
... But I don't mind coming over to visit.
no subject
Oh, I know! You should draw Chuuya-san something for his birthday!
[Rohan can get some practice in, show Atsushi his work, and save himself the cost of a nice bottle! There are only benefits!]
no subject
Oi, Oi, hold it right there. Why would I draw anything for that annoying man? Do you think I am coming over because it's his birthday?
[ He was coming over to hang out with Atsushi!! But don't probe him about this or he'll deny it. ]
no subject
Of course you don't have to bring expensive gifts! But bringing at least a little something would be nice, I think...
no subject
[ He does not!!! Care!!!!!!!!! He won't go further into how, exactly, he randomly knew when Chuuya's birthday happened to be, but it's not exactly a secret if Atsushi wants to know. ]
I will bring myself. [ He wants to leave it at that, but then he remembers that as a house guest, he does need his manners. ] Fine, and maybe some cheap drink, since I am a guest. If you want a drawing, you'll have to commission me.
no subject
Oh, you do that kind of thing, too? [This seems like a good plan! Okay, spending the money on the bar was already enough to give Atsushi a heart attack, but a single drawing shouldn't make much of a difference after that... He is never looking at his (lack of) savings again, though.] Then, how much would it cost for you to draw something for Chuuya-san?
no subject
[ Is he bragging? Yeah, he's bragging. ] I'll acknowledge that I don't have that kind of reputation in El Nysa, however. And I do owe you for saving me. [ in the tunnel that is?? idk just roll with it ]
70 silver. Just about enough to cover my expenses for the next few days.
no subject
Atsushi is worried upon hearing about the hundreds of thousands of yen, of course. All right, that was a different world, but if Rohan asks the same now... Atsushi really can't afford it, much as he'd like to - not with that bar already being made in some carpenter's shop (and even that was only affordable because he'd gotten a friendly price, thanks to his gold brooch). At the same time, he wants to support Rohan, and not say no!
But 70 silver is incredibly doable by comparison, and Atsushi sighs in relief.]
Just 70... That's fine! It's all yours. Just draw him something nice, okay?
[... That is as much as he'll define it... Go wild, I guess.]
no subject
Hmph. What do you take me for? Of course I will. And I already happen to know enough about him to draw inspiration. [ He's talking like they're close friends when Rohan actually just infomodded Chuuya against his will. Incredible.
But okay, sweet, he'll have some money to tide him over for the next few days. If he doesn't get stupid and spends it all in a day, at least. ]
But I have to ask, are you also from the same organisation as he is, Atsushi? You really don't look like the type. [ The type to be ... mafia?? ]
no subject
Homer Simpson whisper: I'm not kidding...]That's wonderful!
[Yes, clearly Rohan and Chuuya are good friends! This will be a wonderful party with no arguing whatsoever. Atsushi will be very surprised otherwise. (And quite possibly get low-key angry.)]
... I'm surprised he told you about that...
[Then again, that's probably a good sign? Being honest about the past is a prerequisite for changing, after all.]
No, I'm not from that organization. If anything, I suppose you could say we used to be enemies.
Well, that was more due to circumstances than by choice.
[Chuuya is a good guy, after all... or so Atsushi likes to think. Had things gone differently with his own life, he supposes he might have ended up with the mafia, too - though he doubts he would have lasted long.]
no subject
Anyway, he actually is interested in mafia stories, but he doesn't like Chuuya all that much now so he doesn't want to speak to him. It looks like they had an interesting relationship, being on opposing sides. Rohan wants to hear more. ]
Oh ...? And were you something like law enforcement? Somehow, you don't suit the role of 'policeman'.
no subject
[Atsushi loved his job, but law enforcement - and especially policemen - seem so... official? It feels like someone like him would by definition never be good enough. It's the same feeling that kept him from joining the Royal Guard for the first 10, 11 months or so of his stay here.
Of course, the ADA was worthy of respect, too - but it had been a very different kind of organization, and smaller, and... he'd been invited.]
I was a member of the Armed Detective Agency. We were a small organization of individuals with abilities who took on cases that the regular police couldn't handle - for example: because ability users were involved.
... Well, we also searched for lost pets from time to time.
no subject
[ Next, Kishibe Rohan goes to write Bungou Stray Dogs. ]
I have time right now. Why don't you tell me about an interesting case you've had? [ Notice how he didn't ask if Atsushi had time ... Hmm. ]
no subject
Let's see...
[Atsushi probably has more important things to do, but friendly conversation is such a time sink... He won't even realize until afterwards how much time he's spending on talking to everyone.
He kind of wants to talk about Kyouka, but he also doesn't think he should. Even disregarding the fact that she'll never wake up, it feels kind of bad to talk about her when her history is her own, and her acts are her own. She'd come such a long way in such a short time, it feels like kicking her back down to talk about where she'd come from.]
There were the Americans? They came to Yokohama looking for... [Should he really mention the book? Well, it's all gone now, anyway.] ... this book... that supposedly had special powers? And somehow they expected me to be able to find it...
[He's still not sure how that was supposed to have worked. He's not sure he wants to know.]
They all had pretty powerful abilities - and there was this girl who was with them, but she really wasn't a bad person...
[... Atsushi isn't the best storyteller, it seems. He enjoys talking and he can sure ramble, but telling a coherent story is a little -...]
no subject
You're not a very good storyteller. [ Hey Rohan, be less blunt. No, this is just who he is, he's a guy who doesn't really care who he offends. Anyway, he doesn't expect Atsushi to be able to tell a story well but come on, at least try to set up the scene. ] You have to catch my interest with an exciting opening.
[ He's not making the incident sound very exciting. It looks like the focus is more on the girl, however, so Rohan does ask about her. ] Okay, you can tell me about that girl then. How did you two cross paths?
no subject
[Not a good storyteller, nope. He can't really argue with that - but he was unprepared!]
Well, like I said: she was in the group of people who tried to take over the city - and capture me, I suppose, but the city was their main target, once they moved in...
[Ahhh, he can feel himself drifting away again...! After the earlier criticism, he's a little too aware of how he's not doing much better. What is an exciting opening, though?!]
She was very pretty!! With dark red hair in long braids, and green eyes... [Clearly this is exciting? In a totally pure way?!] I really didn't want to defeat her, because she'd already said she'd be cast out of her organization if she failed... but I didn't have a choice. She'd captured my friends.
B-But it turned out okay in the end! Though it took a while, she got away from that organization, and now she's working as a waitress!
[... Very exciting. Time for that coffee shop AU.]
