welcome sleepies, to our meme saturday! every month a little mod-hosted meme will go up for us to play around with admist the chaos, and this time we've got......
ASK ME ANYTHING
Just post a description of yourself in the title and let those crazy anons ask you questions.
π post a top level for your character; you can leave a brief "I am X, AMA", if you'd like, make in anon, don't, ect.
π Other characters will reply to these TLs with questions
π Answer. 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!).
[ not another one. he must think it's stupid because why else would he ask? no one understands the genius behind how soleum painstakingly picked out his name during his exciting read of < dark exploration records >! the name that doesn't follow the naming convention so it'd stand out if he were to ever work with the bureau, that way they'd find him mysterious and different! who wouldn't want to stand out in the legendary supernatural disaster management bureau, and soleum knew the best way how!! imagine! being noticed by his favorite characters who dabble in the spiritual arts to handle scps on a day to day basis.
who wouldn't want a name that stands out and to be different!? ]
...Um. Not only was I in a supernatural phenomena where people were in danger, I was in a position where an agent was threatening to kill me if I didn't work along with him...
[ be so for real. though... it's not entirely wrong, and it's very jaekwan to do, but he makes it sound so bad?? here, let him say that. ]
You make it sound so bad. But you know, this guy here, Grapes? He tried to do the same thing to me when he showed up here, because he thought it was the same disaster! He'd have done the same thing in Bronze-ie's shoes.
[ smh. SMH. ]
Now, are you going to talk about the part where that's the exit method, and you how you would've woke up safe and sound without having to worry about that dream anymore in the future?
[ he remembers someone from the underground that spoke about a lot of "supernatural phenomena" going on back home, but it was never an issue. it would be a stretch to say maybe they're the same world, but they do somewhat sound the same.
... ]
What are they like where you come from, if you don't mind elaborating...
You sound calm about it... would you happen to be a jujutsu sorcerer?
[ in a way, there have some similarities in their jobs. ]
We restrain or exorcise malicious entities through the help of divine spirits. Sometimes, you can use an item related to the entity to destroy them much like your method, but we choose the best method that helps civilians.
I am. Technically in training, I guess. But the lines get blurred a lot, with as few of us as there are.
[ Especially given that since the world went to hell in the middle of his evaluation for being promoted to Grade 1, that's all been kind of in the air now anyway. ]
How bad does the collateral damage get, in your situation?
Anything you'd consider to fit the definition. I don't know how messy things get, for your group...
[ But, well. Things have gotten extremely messy in Tokyo, and he can't help but wonder if that's a common experience in their line of work, or if things have just been exceptionally shitty. ]
...Yes, due to the nature of those disasters and the losses suffered, I can't explicitly say what to some.
[ things like their elder having lost the upper half of her body to contamination because she wanted to leave a piece of herself to protect high school kids, he can't speak on the young children swept away from their time to an underwater ocean palace where they were being devoured by a blister-like disease because of the mermaid princess (though, all the children were rescued). ]
On a mission once, a few other agents and I were trapped in a supernatural location where they'd mutilate our bodies as processed meat or props. An Agent lost their legs, a student wanted to take a euthanasia pill... there's also the story where Agent Choi summoned Daecheongbong Mountain Guardian, the Tiger General King Bodhisattva when things were dire... I believe he likes telling that story.
The "mess" varies, it depends on the situation... but our goal is to rescue civilians.
You're confirming that it did happen and not acknowledging that I didn't know... Exit method or not, wouldn't you also be scared if someone threatened your life out of nowhere...
...Maybe not when you have a large weapon strapped to your back at all times compared to me who had nothing...
[ come on now, agent choi is basically confirming agent grapes scenario!! ]
Information that hasn't been ruled out shouldn't be tossed to the side, I know that now......
[ it's not like he was wrong for trying to kill agent choi then. ]
[ now that he knows it's something, rather than a black void of nothing, which it briefly was—but can't be called now that he's awoken again.
even now, he still finds himself waking up in a cold sweat some nights. ]
Where are you? Are you out and about? Come home, and I'll tell you all about it. It's not too interesting, but I guess it could be useful somehow, so I shouldn't keep it to myself.
[ hiding things from soleum again? obvious agent choi move, but he's already confessed about the murmur and this conversation is already recorded until the end of time.
he wonders if there's some way to manipulate it. ]
...I'll come to the apartment.
[ that is not home!! however, it's a place to rest. ]

no subject
[ i.e. how he became an agent, which tbh Megumi is indifferent to. ]
What kind of name is "Grapes"?
no subject
I needed you to have context first.
[ he was on topic unlike someone here!! ]
During then, with what time I had, it was the first thing that I thought of.
[ if someone said they're going to kill you, no one is thinking of a perfect name like chandelier on the spot. ]
Your real name makes up who you are, and if a supernatural entity manages to take it... there'll be trouble.
no subject
[ Our curses are different...and apparently dgaf. Hm. ]

Their form and powers vary a lot, depending on how they were created. Most aren't capable of communicating intelligibly, though.
[ Just the very powerful Bad News types. ]
no subject
[ agent choi spoke about this recently...ish. ]
We call malevolent energy "sagi". When it gathers, that's a type of supernatural phenomena the agents have to deal with. How do you handle them?

[ and he does sound like a scolding parent, even if you can hear the grin in his voice. ]
Jeez, you painstakingly take care of your kid as best as you can, and he'll still try to go behind your back and talk about how unfair you are.
[ sob sob... he's fake sobbing on the murmur... wipes tears... ]
Life's so cruel...
[ anyway! ]
But can you at least don't drag Bronze into it? Haha.
no subject
What was the difference?
[ let him stand on business right now, he is NOT letting you get away with this... hypocrisy!! ]
no subject
[ like, huh? ]
I was here before you, Grapes. I knew more about this place than you did, and in the end, that didn't turn out to be the escape method anyway.
[ so let him be clear: ]
The difference is that in that school, the method was tried and true. Here, it's a reckless gamble.
no subject
[ out of respect he won't say that the other died, that the attempt was a failure because he got in the way out of stress.
the chance was there. ]
no subject
[ _ even. ]
If there's one person in this place who'd know about that...
[ wouldn't it be him? ]
private
that nervous voice of his is close to cracking. ]
And what do you know, Agent?
[ soleum knows that he died. soleum knows that he... did that. soleum brought him back, but agent choi never said anything after the fact. ]
You never said anything after you were brought back.
private
[ the line between them goes quiet for a moment, and when choi speaks again, it's quieter. tired. ]
It's not the way back. I can tell you that much. It's not something I want you to have to see either, Grapes.
private
[ what the fuck does that mean? ]
Agent, what was there?
[ what was soleum so close to letting agent choi remain with? ]
private

Give me ten minutes.
