Who: Akira Kurusu, Goro Akechi, Nikolai Gogol, and anyone interested in some shenanigans!
Where: A handful of locations around Aldrip
What: Akira and Goro have decided to do some people-watching to determine the identity of Gogol's farce to fake his death.
Warnings: There's a closed prompt that's gonna result in half a centimeter from death, but otherwise the only real warnings are that Goro and Gogol are involved in this log. ...probably a lot of innuendo and stupid teenager bullshittery, also.



[Picture this; it's a normal Wednesday in Aldrip, the weather is reasonable, you're going about your daily life. There's been some craziness lately, hasn't there? Some clown stole some organs, some people got messed up getting those organs back, and then some more people got messed up killing the clown. Yikes!]

[What you may not realize, is during the Killing of the Clown™️, some more things were stolen. Goro took it upon himself to steal Gogol's cloak and tablet, and... Well. As it turned out, Gogol's death was merely temporary, try as he might to convince others he was gone for good. He'd like his things back, but he's currently under the guise of an unassuming Salaryman...,]

[Cut back to this perfectly pleasant, normal Wednesday! Goro Akechi has opted to attempt to sniff out Gogol's trickery, once and for all. With the help of his partner (in crime and everything else), they have stationed themselves in separate areas of the city, connected by a seemlingly innocuous phone call, enjoying the weather and doing some good old-fashioned detective work by way of people watching. What could possibly go wrong?]

//ooc; please do not reply to this main post! comments will go up shortly for both goro and akira, as well as a third closed prompt. pick who you'd like to interact with, or hassle them both! reply to their comments for any and all sort of shenanigans, centering on your character's basic daily life in aldrip. :>

[He doesn't quite expect this from Scott, which-- is silly, he's dating Kotone, he's definitely got fire in his personality. He oofs softly at the elbow and makes a face at him for a second, but then grumbles faintly when he's effectively called the fuck out.]

[He rubs at the spot Scott's elbow bonked him.] It's a multi-step process, but I started it.

[laserguy]

[Maybe he wouldn't be so pushy talking about feelings if he wasn't with Kotone. They promised to tell each other everything, even if it was stupid, and it's worked really well so far. Definitely better than the time he tried to keep his feelings in and got really angry at her. Scott really doesn't want anyone to repeat the same dumb mistakes he did.

Even if Akira is making faces at him and grumbling. He can handle that!! Suck it up--]

Uh-huh, okay, what the hell does that mean? [He's so unimpressed.] Don't tell me you just went 'I'm glad you're not dead' at him.

[chemex]

[Akira gives him a slightly longer frown, and then glowers at his own feet.] Listen, Scott-- I appreciate that you're looking out for me. But things with Goro have to happen a certain way or they don't happen at all.

[laserguy]

[A part of him is a little surprised from both hearing and seeing the slight irritation on Akira's face. Maybe he was a little blunt and he almost feels bad, but he doesn't want to back down from his point either. If he gets on his friend's nerves, he'll just accept that.]

Saying that you can't be honest with him? I thought that's what Akechi would want.

[chemex]

[He shakes his head.]

It's not that I'm not being honest, it's that I'm making sure he's okay to hear my honesty. A lot of times he isn't. And-- I know, that's anybody, that's not good, I need to say it anyway. But it's really important that I keep that in mind for him. Nobody else ever does.

[laserguy]

[Scott isn't sure if he fully gets it and a part of him almost wants to poke and twist one of the flowers in his bouquet, but he holds back. Mostly because he doesn't want to ruin his gift for his girlfriend. Instead, he settles for a small sigh, one hand lifting up below his chin.]

Didn't know he was that sensitive.

[Since big asshole. Also a murderer?? A part of him still frowns at the thought, but... it seems like Akechi is trying to be better about that. That's what Dazai said is most important. Allow people to be better.] But guess if there's anyone that Akechi respects, it's you.

[chemex]

He's a lot of things that most people don't realize. He doesn't want people to realize.

[A hum, and he scuffs a shoe against the ground.] I know he's difficult. I'm working on it.

[laserguy]

[Scott isn't the best at these sort of things, at least, he doesn't think he is. Feelings and crap is always hard, even when him and Kotone share so much with each other. Throw in someone like Akechi and just... it's even more complicated.]

...Akechi is trying, right? To be less shitty. [Errr difficult, as Akira said, but.] He's only doing so because of you. So, just keep working.

[chemex]

[He shrugs, but nods.] I think he is, yeah. It's just hard and really slow-going. I appreciate you having any patience you do with him.
