Post-redacted threads + other nonsense

[lionson]

This post is mostly for threads with Shiro involving Redacted stuff. So either other time loops, post-game, stuff like that.

But I'm also throwing my other shit in here too because yes.

If you want to make a top-level just drop the name of the character you want in the header of your comment, I'm cool with whatever. Muselist is over here.

For Lili

[moonlightbeast]

[This is where I admit I haven't read that much of AnY and have no fukken idea what meetings would be going on when and I'm basing this off the wiki and what I remember from CRAU. Please have mercy.

But that drug trafficking problem from the Kai Empire? Well, there's other people who want to take it down too, and they have agreed to help Lili. They have more freedom to act, since they're an independent detective agency, and they have agreed to lend their resources to Lili to help her infiltrate a party where some of the traffickers are supposed to be gathered and looking to make business deals.

Those resources happen to be one nervous teenage boy, who looks a bit gangly and out of place in formal robes. He is not noble-born by any stretch of the imagination, and this is going to be a hard act to pull off.]

Ah...I-I'm not sure anyone would believe that we're courting each other.

[Yep. That's their cover story. A young couple from rich families out for a night of intrigue.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . oh, this is a choice.

lili is just sighing a little bit at that, crossing her arms as she looks over this gangly boy who is clearly doing his best, but also - doing his best doesn't mean they aren't just going to fucking die.]

Not with that look on your face. Stand up straight! Shoulders back! Would it kill you to look a little more - I don't know, impressive?

[LILI BE NICE]

[moonlightbeast]

[He is definitely a choice here, and Atsushi is assuming it's because of his fighting capabilities rather than his ability to socialize. Because if it was for socialization skills, Kunikida would have been a better choice.

(He won't suggest Dazai. Dazai is a former-criminal and is too famous to the underworld. He would get found out immediately.)

Atsushi is good at following directions, though, and he immediately straightens up. He can actually stand up nice and tall- or as tall as his 170 centimeters will allow him to.]

What do you mean by 'impressive'? I'm not that good at being intimidating. And aren't we supposed to be acting friendly to get information from people?

[coastal]

To some degree - but also if you look too squishy, they'll walk all over you. Whether we're facing neanderthals or the brains of the operation, that's true.

[which is probably why lili has no problem being - well, herself. self-assured, direct, and always cutting to the heart of things.]

So be friendly if you want, but I'm trying to keep you from getting eaten alive here.

[moonlightbeast]

[He definitely looks squishy, that is an attack on his soul. But he will accept it with a minimum amount of complaints.]

I'm not that squishy....But you're the nobility here, so it would be better if you did the talking. But if it looks like it's going to be a fight then leave that to me, okay?

[Since he is supposed to be keeping her alive and all.]

So do we just mingle and eat for now? Or do we have to worry about the food being drugged?

[coastal]

[please complain more sweetheart,,

but lili is just going to hum thoughtfully at that as she looks back over in the direction of the banquet hall, crossing her arms in thought]

... only drink water - make sure it isn't sweet at all. Avoid desserts for the same reason, and don't have any wine.

[she looks over to him and frowns]

... I won't promise that it won't turn into a fight, but I'm going to try really hard not to get in your way.

So don't get hurt too badly, or I won't forgive you.

[maybe she could say it a bit more kindly but - well, she does have a heart. it sounds like she's someone who's a little tired of always making people take the hits for her.]
