welcome sleepies, to our very first meme saturday! every month a little mod-hosted meme will go up for us to play around with admist the chaos, and this theme was chosen by popular demand! we've all heard about texts from last night, but have you heard of......
MURMURS FROM LAST NIGHT
strange things happen in the night. maybe you drink, or dream, or get high as a kite, and it's hard to hide it! especially when we're all collectively connected in a way! the rules are quite simple! you may even know them by now.
π post a top level for your character and include a few text starters, like the ones provided.
π interact.
π thrive.
π if you wish for your threads to be game canon, the sky is the limit (just make sure your thread partner is okay with it!).
π We might have some special guests later.
With my cursed technique, it's best if I can keep my hands free, so I'd rather be empty-handed than use a weapon I'm not comfortable with.
[ The downside of having to make shadow puppets to kill things. ]
My senpai has been trying to beat more weapon skills into me, though. [ There are two kinds of people in the world: those who would find training with Maki to be exciting, and those who consider it an absolute goddamned nightmare. No prizes for guessing which category Megumi is in. ]
It's good to know your strengths, yeah, but maybe you're not carrying it around to fight with?
[ kiddo... who said anything about killing things? haha... ]
Like say, maybe you need to open a can, or a lock, or get yourself free from a sticky situation, you know? It can be good to have a tool on hand that can do those things for you!
[ depends on the type, but if you've got something as multipurpose as a knife on you, why not use it, right? ]
What I'm saying is, it's more for the utility than as a weapon. I'd hope we're pretty good at avoiding hosts by now, and most vessels shouldn't be causing problems unless there's something funny going on in the first place, right?
[ and, yeah, there's megumi's whole combat style, but can we hope he doesn't have to use that in the day to day? at least? ]
It's not like I'm going around with nothing for utility. [ The best part of having an extra-dimensional storage space in your shadow is that it's easy to be prepared. ] Just...not that.
[ at the very least, after a moment of quiet passes, choi sounds pretty sympathetic to megumi's plight here. can't say he doesn't miss his own partner either, after all.
though what he says is more practical: ]
I'll let you know if I find anything good. Next time I see you, expect a present~

Can't afford to be too picky around here though, yeah?

exorcismmurder. ]...you'd use a switchblade to open a lock?
[ That sounds...inelegant. ]

[ what's wrong with a knife for utility??? there's some concern audible in his voice. ]
Doesn't hurt to have something sharp on you in a pinch, but I guess if you're sure you're prepared...

Kuro? What's that?

[ like subaru's birds, kinda, okay. he gets that. ]
Hmm, that's pretty impressive. Guess there's no replacing partners like that, but you can't do something similar with what you've got now either, huh?
[ not that he thinks that could replace man's best friend or anything, but if they're talking about utility... ]
no subject
[ Okay, look, he'll find a knife, just...excuse him his sulk. He misses the doggos. ]

(And he's probably a better judge of weapons than Megumi would be, too. Despite Maki's best efforts.) ]
Thanks.
