idk if it’s just a me thing, but i like outlining how all of my ocs relate/interact with each other even if their stories are all separate and at different parts of the “timeline” in my head. so:
tatsu and hachi are coworkers. they both work nights at a little convenience store a couple blocks from hachi’s apartment. hachi is technically tatsu’s supervisor, but the store rarely does enough business to require both of them to be present at night, so hachi gives tatsu nights off when he asks for them (but still punches the clock for him bc hachi genuinely thinks tatsu is pretty cool and he likes doing favors for people he enjoys being around).
dimitri and hachi are (distant) friends. they don’t talk often at all, but they reach out every now and then when they cross each other’s minds. they used to talk a lot more often when hachi lived in the city; they were neighbors at the time.
fox and dimitri have met once while dimitri was an intern with one of fox’s photographers. though dimitri kept his head down and his mouth shut unless necessary...they did not like each other. dimitri has a low tolerance for bullshit, and fox is full of it.
bambi has very, very limited contact with humans, but he frequents the convenience store, and tatsu and hachi recognize him as a regular. bambi typically buys the same things in the same quanties, so hachi and tatsu have his total memorized before he even gets to the counter. bambi prefers when hachi rings him out solely because hachi never attempts to make small talk, and tatsu always does.
