End of June Wrap-Up/Mingle/Plot Overview/ADA Meeting
Despite the beginning of June being active, the middle and end of it was perhaps even moreso. Dazai, knowing this, had once more gathered the Fallen Stars for a meeting - this time at the ADA Cafe 'Shayou'.🗈
[The closed sign on the door of Cafe Shayou didn't stop it from being an active bustling place - though, this time, it was only filled with Fallen Stars. The group had been gathered once more for a meeting held by Dazai and the Armed Detective Agency - this time in a more secure location. He'd still gotten Dimitri to help with a barrier just in case, but as for now...Dazai rose up from his own seat, tapping his glass with a spoon to get everyone's attention.]
Hello and welcome, one and all, to Cafe Shayou! This will be our new Fallen Stars meeting spot from this point on, as far as official meetings are concerned. So. Let's start with a brief introduction for those of you who may be new in town. I - [he gestured to himself] - am Osamu Dazai. I'm a Fallen Star like the rest of you, a professional detective, and I run a little organization here known as the Armed Detective Agency along with my subordinates. [He gestures to the three nearby him.]
Their names are Atsushi Nakajima, Fauna, and Ryunosuke Akuwagata. [He didn't fuckin' stutter.] They're also quite reliable - please refer to them for any questions or concerns if I'm not available. We'll be at the center of any incidents here trying to solve them.
That having been said, welcome to Starsand. Let's go over what we've experienced recently, shall we?
Starting from the top, we had a small rumor incident with a couple of ghosts. However! That incident has since been resolved quite cleanly. Congratulations, all! Give yourselves pats on the back. It's always nice to see a happy ending.
So. There's our good news. Onto the bad news! 15 of our number were recently held in confines in a certain facility. Luckily! One of them was me! [A beat.] Akutagawa was also there. [now he's saying it correctly?!] Aaaaaaaaanyway. I'm not certain what happened to Akutagawa after we were split apart, but I was placed inside a room with Ryoma - Ryoma, please raise your hand - and Miss Inaba. Inaba, if you would-- thank you. [He gestures to them both.]
We were given an assignment. A test. One to prove our potential as a Kami. Unfortunately, the requirement to become a Kami in their eyes was murdering! And that's nooooo good! So obviously we refrained. Our test, however, led us to be in contact with a girl known as Theta. She introduced herself as the Kami of Willpower, and she seemed to favor me for the test - and Ryoma as well after a bit of minor convincing. Naturally, I was flattered, but she disappeared after a bit and left Ryoma and I to escape. Long story short, we did!
The rest of you who partook in the tests are encouraged to share your stories as well after this, by the by. But let's go over some minor objectives first.
First off. We don't know where the three Kamis have disappeared to. Theta, the Kami of Willpower. Mu, the Kami of Emotion. And Zeta, the Kami of Knowledge. All three have gone missing. It is our responsibility to track down - and furthermore, rescue these Kami. They may be hostile upon approach, but they have been misled. Their status as 'enemies' of us is not of their own desire, but someone else's. That's another priority to be looked at.
We've heard a name be tossed around - that being Therel - who is stronger than a Kami and seems to act as an overseer to the girls. However, I have reason to believe that even he isn't at the apex of this organization. It goes deeper. It is our responsibility to find how far down this rabbit hole goes, find the creature dwelling within, and show them justice, whoever they may be.
Secondly, the organization simply disappeared. It didn't seem to be destroyed in its entirety. It simply disappeared. This is not enough. It may appear somewhere else, and we must be ready. Please keep this in mind.
Thirdly. We've come upon a concept that I'm not too fond of. Theta mentioned this, and it is almost certainly something to worry about. According to their organization...no two Kamis can exist of the same concept. They are disposing of any others. Of children. And they do this regularly. So none of my suggestions come with anything but a heavy heart - apart from this last one.
Fourth of all...I'd encourage recovery. You need a healthy work-life balance, all of you, and that includes from incidents and rumors! Maybe we'll all do something fun next month. But as for the rest of this month, I do believe Miss Hanyuu's Watanagashi festival is soon, so I'd personally encourage giving that at least a bit of your time stopping by, since it's for one of our own.
Now, all of you are encouraged to share any extra information you may have on your tests, the overview of the facility - whatever you may know. Thank you for attending. Please feel free to give your patronage by buying drinks or food while you're here, and we'll be happy to serve you! Let's hope July is a little more relaxing, yeah~?
[Perhaps he was hoping for too much, but...]

[Processing... Processing.... Processing..............
Error.]
Wait- Lovers? Both of them?! You have two?!
[She's scandalized. And maybe a little horrified.]
no subject
Shugo is Yuuto's dad and Mikale is Dimitri's. And we all like each other, so why pick one favorite?
no subject
no subject
Shoooes! Mikkyyyy! I'm in love with youuuu!
no subject
Shugo looks around in embarrassment, gradually turning red, then stubbornly makes eye contact.]
I, I'm well aware! Love you too? [what brought this on?!]
no subject
I love you both too. Shugo, are you going to be okay?
no subject
That's a complicated feeling. She's always had a weird, messy feeling in her when she sees Satou and her happy family, and she's never been able to place it. Jealousy? Resentment? Plain old anger? And then... Satou can just, say that? Openly? She can just admit to what and who she loves?
It's hard to describe, but either way, Fauna seems to be extremely agitated all of a sudden.]
... The hell's with this...
no subject
[Distracted by her lovers, Satou doesn't immediately notice the change in Fauna's demeanor. She's disgustingly in love after all. The brief moments where Shugo picks up a menu to hide his blushing face behind and the way Mikale gently steps in front of Shugo to shield him are enough to make her melt inside.
But she doesn't stay distracted forever. Satou looks back at Fauna, cheeks red but expression and heart light.]
Yeah, we make it work. It wasn't a decision we made lightly, mind you... But love is complicated!
no subject
[Forcing the words out is like pulling teeth. She's not trying to drag the mood down- She wants, more than anything, to be able to just be happy for them and enjoy the fact that the adults she saw in her life were the outliers.
But Fauna's greatest flaw has always been her honesty. Even if she tries, she can't hide her expressions, her feelings and thoughts all over her face whether or not she wants them there.]
no subject
Mm! We're very happy together.
[Satou can sense Fauna's mood darkening, but honestly? She's not in the mood to touch it. If it's triggered by seeing the three adults happy, then Satou's not going near it. It isn't her job to make other people happy for her.]
But yeah. Shugo has a shrine too. Mikky will be most safe living with me.
no subject
Oh! Right. So, only two shrines... We can probably figure out a list of volunteers, then. It's easier to protect two than three, too...
... That guy's shrine is the library, right? I, uh, should almost definitely be guarding your shrine instead of his.
