ATSUSHI HAD NEVER BEEN A FAN OF THE DARK, regardless of the night vision. the mind is too creative, too on edge, casts shadows in places they shouldn't be that pumps adrenaline through the heart. ( and the young detective knows he shouldn't be so jumpy, knows that it makes him stick out like a sore thumb in this dim corner of yokohama, but he can't help it. ) when a can is kicked into a wall behind him, the tiger yelps, whirling around with claws and fangs sharp and on display. " who's there ⸻ ! "

@phasmascript liked for a starter.

" WELL, THIS IS INCONVENIENT. " yosano steps over the body without so much as a flinch, heel nudging a fallen wrist aside as she crouches and examines. ( gloved fingers already checking for something that clearly isn’t there anymore. ) her gaze flicks up to him, entirely too calm for the scene around them. " either you’re exactly as advertised, or i’ve walked into something very poorly timed. "

@phasmascript ⸻ from yosano.

"So quick to assume... that's a bad habit, you know."

Somehow, though his words are technically a criticism, there's something that's almost gentle about them - or maybe playful would be a better word. Hearing such a tone from a man like Verlaine is almost jarring, standing in stark contrast to his fearsome reputation as an assassin, whether it's one Sync is aware of or not. But his gaze never loses it's sharpness.

"I came here for you. I'm not so foolish that I'd mistake my target so easily for another." But it does make Verlaine glad to see Sync drop the polite mask he was wearing, even just a little. Sincerity is what he wants, even if it's a sincerity that's bleak and uncaring.

"To start with... I think introductions are usually what comes next in a situation like this. ...Do you know who I am?"

@phasmascript / MAKESHIFT STARTER CALL.

“….So you’re just going to stay in the human world? Are you sure that’s what you want?”

[herotheisms]

@phasmascript requested for Kunikida's presence.

❛❛ Detective Ayatsuji? Odd of you to ask me to meet you like this. ❜❜ Skeptical but he's not too worried. His notebook is in hands if anything were to happen. ❛❛ Does your agency require assistance from mine? ❜❜

"Ehhh? Is that true, Mitsuba-kun?"

Nene's stunned face makes her look a bit like a goldfish - or at least like she's about to swallow one - as she reacts to Mitsuba's statement in her usual animated manner. She stays that way for a moment longer, but then she seems to slowly curl in on herself a little, expression falling as she finds herself unable to meet his eyes.

"What'll we do... there's no way they'll believe us..."

The interest Verlaine holds in the young man before him isn't as all-consuming as it may have been in the past. That's what he thinks, at least, but to be honest, it's difficult for Verlaine to be certain of how he would've reacted to the existence of Sync at all, since so much has changed since then.

But to meet yet another artificial lifeform now, after all these years... while Verlaine doesn't know the details, and Sync's origins aren't quite the same as his or Chuuya's, when he heard the news, he felt something inside him begin to stir. ...It's not quite the same kind of feeling as the one he felt for his younger brother, all those years ago - perhaps because he's learnt by now the foolishness of his assumptions in the past. He'd thought Chuuya was the same as him, but in the end, the views they held towards the world, humanity, and even themselves couldn't have been more different. ...And that was what led to Verlaine's complete and utter defeat.

It's for that reason that he knows better than to repeat the same mistake. Yet... the foolishness of the heart isn't always so easy to leave behind. If it were, he wouldn't be here, would he?

"It was difficult to find you, you know." he says, smiling ever so naturally, no hint of any danger lurking in his eyes. "Surely you can spare at least a moment to talk. As guests go, you must've had worse."
