This might be a little late, but I worked both yesterday and today, so here we go. I saw other muns doing something like this and I just wanted to show my appreciation for a few blogs and muns on here that I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. For the most part, there’s no particular order, but there really aren’t many on here.
First, it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t mention @tempestandtorrent. We might be going separate paths currently, but you are the reason I am even here on the rp scene in the first place. Had you not encouraged me to make this blog, I wouldn’t have made it. I enjoyed every one of our threads together and I’m going to miss the plot that never came to be that we were working on. I sincerely do wish you the best in all your ventures both in roleplay and in real life. Jen was a good match for Keisuke and maybe one day, I still hold onto this hope (perhaps foolishly) that we will be able to thread again.
I’d @ maskedriderm, but it appears that’s not an option? But, even though we are on quite separate paths now, I will still acknowledge that we rped together and you were a huge partner of mine in the beginning up until recently. Like I said above to tempestandtorrent, I wish you the best in all your endeavors, roleplay and real life both.
Next, to @manybutcannon. You are still a fantastic mun, no matter what. You brought Apollo Geist to life for my Keisuke as well as so many other Rider characters. Not to mention you are truly a mun of over 100 muses and you play all the ones I’ve seen so well. It was, and hopefully will be, a blast to thread with you. I appreciate your friendship, companionship, and your understanding.
@gatarifficgata You’re probably one of the nicest muns I’ve ever had the pleasure of talking with. I’m not a cinnamon roll, as you said. That’s you. Thank you so much for everything, you’re honestly one of the best people I know right now. Hopefully we’ll be able to thread more this year!
Last, there’s @spaceisaocean who also keeps trying to drag me out of hiatus even though my muse hasn’t been cooperating. I’m still amazed there’s another Keisuke rper out there, but I’m glad the guy’s getting some love. The character deserves it! And your Keisuke is super adorable. I’m still sorry to hear you’re sick. I hope you can get better soon!
As you can see, I haven’t really made many connections, but I’m hoping to make more this coming year. There are still loads of my mutuals that I highly enjoy seeing on my dash and if I didn’t mention you, please don’t think I don’t appreciate you. You’re all wonderful for sticking with me.
Jouji didn’t get to travel much these days. His friends’ concern for him and his still failing health prevented that. They feared the strain of traveling would shorten his lifespan that much more should he strain himself on the journey. The most they let him do was walk around the town he retired in: A quiet place on the southern coast.
Shirou said the air was good out there. Jouji didn’t protest.
The old man missed traveling though. The sights he would see. The people he would meet. The experience of it all. Jouji missed it. And he wanted to travel at least once more before his body finally gave into the abuse he’d put it through as Riderman. So, he packed a bag and left a note on the counter should any of the people he knew stopped by to see him.
A good number of hours on board trains, a couple stops at small town inns, and Jouji found himself on another coastal town not too far from Tokyo. He breathed in the familiar scent of the sea. His ‘caretakers’ couldn’t complain too much if he stayed in that town a few days.
His first stop was at a local hotel, where he rented a room for the amount of time he wished to stay. Then, he took a stroll around the town, getting a feel for the locals and sense of community. While the dialect and the faces were different, Jouji felt rather at home. It had the same sort of feel his town had: peaceful and safe. It was relaxing.
While on his walk, Jouji spotted a diner. He could smell the food from outside its doors. His stomach growled at him. The scientist moved to walk on, but his stomach complained even louder. It felt like teeth chewed at him from the inside and only then did Jouji realize how hungry he truly was. The old man should have expected that from not eating since morning. He took a breath and entered the shop.
The scent of the kitchen and entrees assaulted his nose. The pain of hunger bit into him more and he tried not to clutch his torso as he waited to be seated. The host set him down at a table beside one of the other customers, an older man in a lab coat with a young girl--probably his granddaughter. He briefly looked at the menu and chose a few dishes at random for an immediate order. Anything that would fill his stomach would do at that point.
Once the server left to put in his order, Jouji glanced around him, taking in the cozy restaurant. It wasn’t until he really looked at the man beside him that his mind caught up with him. “Keisuke Jin?” he asked, a smile forming on his lips. “It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, old friend?”
It’d been so long since he really got a look at his old friend. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t glad to see someone other than him aged as well. Though it looked as if Keisuke was faring much better than he in terms of health. The lucky man.
Teal eyes scanned the unfamiliar horizon, taking in the surrounding area. So this was the surface world? At least, it seemed to be part of the world below; there was certainly civilization here, but not exactly as he was used to. If anything, it was more similar to the Naga empire’s land than the green fields of Garuda, but it felt a bit more clean than the smoky cities there.
He wasn’t sure how well he would be received here, so Rodea decided it would be best to keep himself toward the outskirts of this place. The more problems he causes, the less of a chance he had to learn more before having to return: after all, it was his idea to explore out here. Shifting his weight, he began walking, trying not to catch any eyes as he went down the street.

Hayato would totally do that while the other two watch.
Who builds the snowman, who eats the carrot nose bc they weren’t paying attention (”OH THATS what the carrot was for, my bad”)

watching cartoon holiday movies together in a blanket cocoon and singing along to the songs bc lets be real everyone does it
They only really do this if they’re watching someone’s kid during the holidays. Weeks later, Hayato will be heard humming those songs because wow they got stuck in his head.
snowball fights that end up forming barricades complete with les mis references and backup snowballs until person A is covered in snow and person B has to dig them out

OOC (( Cute Seasonal AUs meme I hope it's okay to send more than one, if not just accept this one. Keisuke evil au and Keisuke In the name of G.O.D. ))
cute weather/seasonal AUs for your OTP
when it rains
who wears the designer raincoat/umbrella set and who is wearing oversized polkadot rainboots and a huge yellow duck raincoat
Evil AU Keisuke would be the one wearing the designer raincoat. He’s very fashion-minded via the programming. In the Name of G.O.D. Keisuke would be wearing the oversized rainboots and the huge yellow duck raincoat because he can hide in that more easily. (He might want something a little nicer to look at though so he doesn’t stand out too much but hey it was the closest thing on the rack and he was kinda really nervous?)
going for a walk in the rain and splashing in puddles
Evil AU Keisuke splashes in puddles but only because In the Name of G.O.D. shoves him in them.
making a “SPLASH US!!” sign and standing on the side of the road waiting for cars to drive by
No. If anything Evil AU Keisuke would have to somehow have been ordered by Apollo Geist for this to even happen. Or if Keitaro ordered it of the other one.
person A is Very Enthusiastic about thunderstorms and person B is Very Afraid so A makes up elaborate fake explanations abt where the thunder comes from to make B laugh and forget they were scared
In the Name of G.O.D. Keisuke is very enthusiastic about thunderstorms. Evil AU Keisuke isn’t afraid of them, but even though he’s a seaborg, he’s a bit more...jumpy when it rains.
We Were Going To Go On A Picnic But It Rained So We’re Picknicking Inside Anyway
Both would insist they picnic outside despite the rain, but maybe in a tent or Evil AU Keisuke brings a giant umbrella.
which one seduces the other into standing under a tree before shaking the branch and soaking them
In the Name of G.O.D. Keisuke does this to Evil AU. Evil AU gets pretty grumpy after the fact until he gets a nice reward for his suffering of getting soaked unexpectedly.
gOING SWIMMING IN THE RAIN and making out maybe
YEs (it’s In the Name of G.O.D.’s idea)
fall
which one gets Super Excited for fall and gets pumpkin everything while the other one shakes their head and can’t wait until mint everything
Evil AU would be more excited for the fall and gets the pumpkin lattes and small pumpkin desserts. In the Name of G.O.D. just wants to be able to smell the mint that’s everywhere in the winter. He can’t really smell the pumpkin.
who rakes the leaves; who jumps into the pile
In the Name of G.O.D. Keisuke does both. To hide in and watch stalk his “totally attractive double.” It just appears out of nowhere near his current assignment and seems to be following Evil AU. What the heck is even up with that? (Literally has a light weight ‘house’ under it with windows he just puts leaves on top of and moves around as needed.)
one carves the pumpkin, the other one stares horrified and whispers, ‘YOU DIDN’T TELL ME YOU WERE GONNA KILL IT’
In the Name of G.O.D. freaks out a bit over pumpkin carving. Evil AU raises an eyebrow and carves something intricate like Mach Achilles dying.
which one buys ugly baggy sweaters and which one actually wears them
yeS
one person wears fingerless gloves the other wears fluffy mittens
In the Name of G.O.D. has the fluffy mittens. Evil AU wears the fingerless gloves.
who buys mulled cider, who buys hard cider
Both. It doesn’t effect them and one can’t taste either.
who wears the really intense halloween costume, who wears a sheet with holes in it
Both would do really intense halloween costumes. In the Name of G.O.D. makes it look like an actual friggin’ prop of sorts whereas Evil AU tends to go more for an accurate as hell look on characters or creatures, whatever he decides to do for that year.
BAKING PIES TOGETHER AND THEN WATCHING A SPOOKY MOVIE IN A BLANKET FORT
YOU DO NOT WANT THESE TWO IN THE FUCKING KITCHENBut blanket forts year round total yes. Mostly Evil AU being forced into it by puppy eyed In the Name of G.O.D.
which person asks to do a seance in the graveyard halloween night, which one slaps them and says ‘have you ever SEEN a horror movie??”
In the Name of G.O.D. totally asks to do the séance. Evil AU doesn’t slap him, but does ask if he’s seen any horror related media. Then decides what the hell let’s do the séance he’s giving me those puppy eyes again.
snow/winter
BUILDING SNOWFAMILIES including their pets, house, dog, car,,,,
FUCK THIS SHIT--
Who builds the snowman, who eats the carrot nose bc they weren’t paying attention (”OH THATS what the carrot was for, my bad”)
Evil AU would’ve built the snowman. In the Name of G.O.D. feeds the carrot to a nearby rabbit.
“Maybe Jack Frost isn’t nipping at your nose, but I can do that instead ;)” “Oh my god shut up”
The bad pickup line would’ve been Evil AU. In the Name of G.O.D. hides inside Evil AU’s jacket.
who-can-find-the-tackiest-decorations contest that gets super intense and oh god did we really need a second tree and the plastic santa and the rainbow menorah and all of these garlands jesus christ
YESYES YES YES YES - es--

Yes to the blanket cocoon and singing songs but no the cartoons.
snowball fights that end up forming barricades complete with les mis references and backup snowballs until person A is covered in snow and person B has to dig them out
The house covered in leaves for the fall becomes covered in snow in winter. Evil AU wonders where the hell the igloos came from and why do snow balls keep hitting him from some undetermined opening in said igloo.
oh no we stayed out too long and need to warm up better share the shower/hot chocolate to conserve resources
YEsye
Who dumps snow down their partner’s neck and runs away laughing
In the Name of G.O.D. to Evil AU.
person A burying person B in snow and then kissing their forehead and walking away (”YOU MOTHERFUCKER YOU CANT LEAVE ME HERE” “I love you too I’ll be back!” “EXCUSE ME”)
In the Name of G.O.D. buries Evil AU in the snow and fuckin leaves him there. He’d know how to keep the seaborg stuck like that for hours if he needed to. In the Name of G.O.D. comes back with even more snow to bury Evil AU.
GOING SLEDDING @ NIGHT AND THEN GOING STARGAZING AFTERWARDS IN OVERSIZED COATS/SHARING A SCARF BC THE STARS ARE ALWAYS THE NICEST IN THE WINTER AND HOLY SHIT WAS THAT A SHOOTING STAR AND WE TOTALLY WISHED FOR THE SAME THING
YES YEs yes yes yes yes yes yes yes YES
who wears the oversized scarf and hat, who wears a t shirt and skinny jeans no matter how cold it is (”DUDE ITS FUCKING -15″ “that’s WARM where I come from”)
In the Name of G.O.D. would wear the oversized scarf and hat. Evil AU might occasionally wear a t-shirt and jeans (not of the skinny variety though) when off duty.
OOC (( Meme “How did you get this?” if you'd prefer pretend The Stray verse Keisuke sent it ))
Send “How did you get this?” For My Muse’s reaction to Your’s running their fingers along a Scar on Their body, If you know My Muse’s body well..Add what Scar is being touched!
Hayakawa could have shivered under the other’s touch. It was so soft, much more so than he’d been used to the last few months. Of course, Keisuke would be more gentle than those thugs he often chased down for Toujo. He had always been fairly gentle toward people.
This, however, was different as the other man had noticed one of the many newer scars on his chest. The cowboy hadn’t even really noticed that he would when he took off his shirt to get it dry. It wasn’t until Keisuke tentatively reached out and traced his fingers along a thin line that formed just under his collar bone. The question of how Hayakawa got it fell as a murmur.
A corner of Hayakawa’s lips turned upward as he nearly let out a laugh. He dipped his head down a bit, almost expecting his hat to obscure his expression. Too bad he wasn’t wearing it.
“It was a case from a few months ago,” he began, looking into Keisuke’s eyes. “A young man was targeted by a group of thugs that tried to be bigger than they were. They claimed he needed to pay some fee for their protection. One of their knives found their way sunk pretty deep into me while I fought them off to buy him time to get out of there.”
“Glad you could make it here so soon, Mr. Jin.“ He said, offering the other man a handshake. “It is a pleasure to finally meet you."
“I am sorry we called you here so suddenly, but we have reasons to believe you might be involved in the case we’re currently investigating. It’s about G.O.D.“
