@aodye // starter call

Wow! This guy really has some fashion going for him, doesn’t he. A fun sort of individual to find while he’s wandering around the canals. “Hi! I’m Emmet. I like your cape. You look very cool!” He laughs a little, delighted by the flamboyantly magician-like appearance of the other. He doesn’t know anyone in this town yet, so he has to remedy that and make some friends! And of course, the easiest way to do that is find someone to compliment (anyone can be found worthy of something!) and see if they’re nice enough to be friends. 

ranpo would call this man strange for wandering around the canals - if he hadn’t been doing the same thing, that is. simple curiosity for things away from the ordinary had brought him here, plain and simple, and the fact someone else is here... well, it must mean they must think the same way, no? ranpo has a good feeling about this man, and his deductions aren’t wrong most of the time!  “hello, mister emmet! you look very handsome yourself in that white coat! my name is ranpo!”

“Well, three minutes ago they was every color on this Gods-given earth except blue, and now they’re all blue. You’re the only one around–a might suspicious, don’t ya think?”

“ahaha! do you hate the color blue? will it hinder you from eating them? oh, but your expression is far more sweet -”  he can’t contain his amusement, this was so much fun!  ( while he might’ve technically exposed himself in the same breath, ranpo is fine with it. it’s just a harmless food dye prank. )

oneiricgaze  /  koizaki-san.

It… it sure is, sensei. [is he… absent-minded? he’s never met anyone like this before, someone who mentally wanders just from their sheer brains. well, there’s Amase, of course. but Amase is his teammate and always makes time for him.] 

[no surprises…. for now. well, that’s ominous. but he’s a little older now, out of Fifth Sector, and doesn’t have to snoop for his own safety, especially for someone who he’s suddenly quite sure will look through him when absorbed in his writing, like Captain gets. the thought makes him smile a little.] I’m not going to mind your business… [a little petulantly.] Is there any place you would like me to put these, Edogawa-sensei?

unfortunately, poor io is unaware his roommate is a man who loves surprises - quite literally. a natural entertainer and prankster, ranpo could give people a startle at times. it was only a matter of time until io became a victim to this strange hobby of edogawa ranpo’s, but until then, he would put his focus to unpacking his things and getting to know his new company for the time being.

“hmm, you can just set it on the bed there! i’ll unpack it later. really, it doesn’t matter where you put them in particular. i’ll take everything out later myself and put them where i like them best - less work for you! besides, organizing can be fun!”  he smiles brightly, almost innocently.  “how long have you been in this city thus far, koizaki-san?”

saneatzu  /  saneatsu-san.

As flustered as he was over falling for such a prank (he refused to admit or to even acknowledge that he was susceptible to these things), it didn’t take long for the shorter man to shake off any ill feelings he had towards the other novelist. Next time, he promised himself, he wasn’t going to be caught off guard again.

Still, he couldn’t help but wonder, no matter who his opponent was, Ranpo always seemed to have the upper hand when it came to pranks. At least from the stories he heard around the library, that’s what it seemed like to him!

“I’ll watch out for you next time! So long as I keep looking behind me, you won’t be able to catch me by surprise again,” Musha leaned forward and spoke eagerly, a determined look apparent on his face. “That aside, I’m glad to see you, too! Did you just come here recently? I would’ve seen you around before.”

“fufu - please do your best. i shan’t allow you to get the upper hand in the ways of magic, saneatsu-san!”  still, ranpo is always most eager to welcome a challenge where it was given. niimi, for example, was such a darling young man, always coming up with ways to catch ranpo off guard or best him. a few times he had succeeded, even if it may’ve been due solely to ranpo’s carelessness, but ranpo would happily give the smaller writer such a tally.

though, this young man wasn’t the prankster type, so much as he was the type to prevent it... even so, ranpo must always be one step ahead! he’ll have to pay attention!

“oh, correct you are~ i came not too long ago and decided to take a look around! to my surprise, i happened upon you. it relieves me to know i’m not the only bungou to arrive in this strange place. nankichi-kun seems to be here as well.”  it goes without saying that ranpo is particularly happy about that. well, he’d be happy in general for any of his allies to be here, as curious places are better explored with company!

altitxde:

“Sorry to burst your bubble.” Still, Vincent looked intrigued enough. He possessed little to no artistic talent, let alone magic skills. So this was entertaining, even if he was able to make an educated guess on the logic behind the magic. “But, yeah, you’re right. That trick of yours looks cool.”

“but isn’t that the best part?”  ranpo smiles, wide and seemingly pleased with himself. so long as people showed interest and were entertained, that was more than enough for him.  “despite whether someone may understand the way behind a magic trick, it’s still thoroughly enjoyed and amazes others! what other tricks do you know, sir? perhaps i can show you one that will mistify you~”

「藍色の世界」

今年も拙い写真と文章を見て頂いてありがとうございました

2016年を一言で表すと「情けない」です ただ、それは悪いことだけではなく 悔しかったり悲しかったりはエネルギーになるし 自分を成長させることにも繋がります

藍色は静かで穏やかです 来年もこんな風景を撮っていけたらと思ってます そして、写真以外の新しいことにも挑戦していきます

ここはとても静かで安心していられます 刺激も貰えます なので居心地がいいです

ではでは… 2017年が皆さんにとって楽しい年になりますように

"Maybe the noise is a little snake. Can you imagine a little snake wrapped around a little pickaxe with a little hat on?"

“ahaha~! you have quite the imagination, young miss!”  and that’s wonderful! it’s a good trait to have as someone her age. she looks about... what, around niimi’s age, no less. children are appearing much more often in this place, are they not? very curious indeed~  “well, it would be something... but a snake hasn’t the strength to lift an axe and slither towards its attacker! what would it do then, hm?”

‘ why are you unbuttoning your pants? we’re in public right now. ’

“e----- no, it’s not like that, a child --”   he turns, but the perpetrator has already long since disappeared. darn.  “a child put something in the back of my pants, i’m trying to get it out --”

‘ i gotta be honest, this doesn’t really compel me very much. ’

“it’s going to be so much fun! i’ve heard so much about the place, and that there are some interesting places to visit. doesn’t the name ‘belladonna’ just send your mind on the path of curiosity? i’ve read into the places we can visit, and apparently even the mafia exist here! isn’t it interesting? i think so! why, it’d be a wonderful idea for a novel, we—–”

his excited rambling is cut off by the younger man’s opposition, and ranpo freezes, almost comically. he lifts a hand to tap at his chin, humming lightly.

“well… that is understandable. it may be too out of your comfort zone. my apologies, i may have gotten too excited. we have yet to check if the hospital here even has ink for beings like us.”

‘ i know how it feels to be… different. ‘

“you are different,”  ranpo agrees with a slow dip of his head, smile warming.  “but, it is not a bad different, atsushi-san. synonyms for different can also be ‘unique’, ‘special’ -- and that is what you are to me. if you were to be a normal man, i think you wouldn’t enjoy it very much either! you are wonderful just as you are.”

colour quiz!

you are turquoise (#40E0D0) !

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Edogawa-sensei, it’s three in the morning. Who does this on a Monday, anyway?

“i’m self-employed! how long i stay up and when is of no consequence! plus, i shut the door so to not to disturb you... by the way, why are you awake?”

‘ hello? you can’t be doing occult stuff like this. it’s a weeknight. ’

"occult? why, i find this very interesting! it could prove to be the plot for my next mystery, even--”  coincidentally, he had been scammed into buying a so called ‘cursed doll’ and a dusty book with the words ‘how to summon souls from the dead’ on the cover. a mysterious thing, this was... the date was from the early 1900s!  “yakumo-san would love this sort of thing if he were here... i must write down my findings if he ever arrives.”

‘ you may not like this… i’m gonna try to agitate it. ’

“it isn’t so much disliking as it is thinking it’s inconsiderate...”  ranpo answers, tone bearing a cautiousness as he watches the woman inch closer to the stray dog that seems to be unaware of her presence.  “it’s sleeping, isn’t it? you should let it have its rest, stray or not, miss.”
