Sero NSFW alphabet
I can write sero smut... as a treat. 
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
He treats you like a god once he’s done with you. He’s a big fan of after sex massages. Sero also likes to smoke a little after sex but that usually leads to one of you getting horny and having sex again so like/ not really after sex more like mid sex. 
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
He’s got such a nice jaw and he knows it. Please kiss his jaw and chin he will get so riled up. 
Sero likes your back, it’s got such a nice shape to it and he loves the little moles and freckles on your back. He spends a lot of time touching your back when you too cuddle/ looking at it while he rails you from behind
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
his cum is so fucking thick for no reason. He can’t really do cum shots because it’s too god damn heavy to fly off. it’s also like, sweet? not like a lot just a little sweeter than average, it makes going down on him bearable. 
D = Dirty secret (pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He takes so many practice nudes, Like he is so concerned you won’t like his dick pics so he takes a thousand and only sends you the best ones. this also leads to posing after he gets out of the shower. 
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
I mean he’s had sex before but probably only one or two partners, its a bit of a learning experience for both of you. 
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
It changes day to day tbh on the one hand he likes fucking you from behind where you’re laying down, but he also likes it when he tapes your legs above you're head and he fucks you that way but also also he loves it when you ride him - or when He fucks you while spooning gah theirs just too many to chose from. for the most part though he likes positions where he gets to touch you and look at you as much as possible. 
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
...if you read kinktober day 31 you know what i think. Yeah he’s an absolute CLOWN do not trust this boy he will start humming the wee theme song in the middle of blowing your back out. He loves to see you laugh so he might fuck around and start tickling you while he’s eating you ot or something.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
This boy has a full on bush he is so fucking hairy. he has a thick treasure trail starting at his belly button and leading to his pubes wich are a mess tbh. he keeps it clean but like unless you ask him to trim he won’t think to do it. a lot of chest on his chest and his under arms too
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Like I said most of the time he’s a goof but hear me out- after like a glass of wine he gets so romantic. Please imagine tipsy Sero whispering soft praise in your ear and calling you pet names in Spanish while he kisses your neck and fingers you. 
something to think about idk
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
not often tbh, really only when you’re not around to do it for him but most of the time he’s patient enough to wait for you to be in the mood too. but if you ask he will send you a video of him putting, all those practice nudes pay off. 
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
food play- That one ask really did something for me AnYwAys. He liked feeding his partner, it really turns him on and he loves it when he gets to eat off of you, and he generally has an oral fixation and this feeds you. 
praise- please he is so soft, he loves to worship your body and tell you how gorgeous he thinks you look when he’s fucking you and he will go feral if you give him some of that energy back he loves it when you praise him
cum play- uhm. hmm, how to phrase this. He likes to cum in you and when he pulls out push the cum back in with his fingers until it’s all soaked up same if he came in your mouth
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
shower/ bath sex babie. He loves the feeling of water around you and it’s also super hot when both of you are sweaty/ dirty he really gets off on that. 
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
when you're clingy. he feels his soul assend to a higher plain of being when you needy and crawl into his lap to hug him. Of course if you’re not feeling it he can be a gentleman and keep his hands to himself but if you want to be even closer with him...
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
piss. Idk he just thinks it’s gross
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
you are his fucking world and his face is your throne please watterboard him he loves to give head you are just so yummy he can’t get enough of you. 
he likes getting head as much as the next guy but it’s really an after thought to absolutely devouring you and making your legs shake. 
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
He likes to go slow and take his time unraveling you. His strokes are long and deep. it’s almost torture that he won’t speed up unless you beg him. Sero takes his sweet time building you up, and you hate it.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
pretty indifferent tbh. He likes them fine and he enjoys the risk of doing it in some place public but he’d prefer to fuck you properly some where he can take his time with you
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
meh he knows what a he likes so he can be a little hesitant to try something new but he’ll usually bend to your will and try something for you. 
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
pretty average, he can go for a while with out busting but after he cums he gets pretty tired quickly and needs a break in between rounds
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
like I said earlier he loves to tie you up and use his tape on you and he’s a pretty big fan of other toys too like vibrators and nipple clamps, anything to get you worked up really. 
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
mmm not really a tease in his actions but in his words. He likes to pick on you a little bit to get a laugh or make you beg if you really want something but he’s usually not the type to withhold pleasure, unless you’ve been really bad.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He is quiet but he talks a lot. Sero likes to moan in your ear softly, He’ll praise you and tell you how pretty you look right now and whisper how much he loves you but it’s all easily drowed out by the noises you make which he lives to hear. 
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
I didn’t have anywhere else to put this but he is a big Service top / Pleasure dom. He’s not really mean to you and he will do just about anything you want him too but he sure as hell is in charge and he reminds you of that fact by overstimulating you until you’re crying and can’t take anymore. 
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
hee hee he’s got a big cock. I know it I know it’s big. hmm no thoughts just sero’s big cock. uhm anyways like pretty nice it’s long and thick with some pretty purple veins and a slight left curve to it
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
I mean. it’s healthy but not as high as say Kaminiari’s sex drive. little things get him worked up and that tends to build until it’s too much to take
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
He will stay awake long enough to take care of you but he likes to cuddle pretty soon afterwards.

Why are you in a bear suit?” ranpo: still being punished for disobeying orders and fighting the mafia. ...so you got transferred into psychiatric, huh? Kunikida: "..." *nods* ranpo: ...you know you're not at fault, here. the rats are the ones who set you up to take the fall. i know it's been over a month, but we're doing all we can to prove you innocent. Kunikida: "Not fast enough..." ranpo:....we're gonna get you out soon. i promise. Kunikida: "...Ranpo...He's already killed. Again." ranpo:....then lets make sure he doesnt kill anyone else. -later- karl: *chitter* Poe: *holding an envelope* =w= ranpo: ooooi. poe. whats up? *waving* Poe: "Eep! R-R-Ranpo? What are you doing here?" ranpo: business stuff. wanna come with? Poe: OwO "Are we going to solve a mystery?" ranpo: oh you bet your sweet bippins we are. -and so- Poe: " 'Cleaner'? Evidence tampering?" ranpo: yeah. one of dostoyevsky's best recruits. an expert at manipulating information. that fake police data was also masterminded by him. i wont fall for the same trick twice. Poe: *nods* "...But what if they change the narrative? And do you even know what this person looks like?" ranpo: just his face....looks kinda slimy, but like a fancy slimy, y'know? Poe: "...Like a slug in a nice suit?" ranpo: sure, lets go with that. Poe: *pulls out an old-fashion pocket watch* "Yet the time has passed and no sign of your suspect..." ranpo: .....so atsushi told me your sister told him you're reading this mystery novel. Poe: .w. "IT'S THE MOST AMAZING MYSTERY NOVEL I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE--" ranpo: hey, did you know there was a pizza place across the street from here? ....sorry, got distracted, you were saying? Poe: *wicked smile* "Oh, but you are missing what truly makes this mystery story simply delicious..." ranpo: ? Poe: "The author...was murdered." ranpo: !! Poe: "...by the same method he wrote in his book." ranpo: ...bruh. Poe: "Three chapters were serialized. After he wrote the final chapter's manuscript, he died--but the killer stole the chapter from the crime scene. I anticipate the final chapter truly reveals how the author was killed--" *tears up* "BUT IT'S SO CHALLENGING!" ranpo:...you got a lot of free time, dont you? Poe: *nod nod nod* "It helps with writing." *weak smile* ranpo: can i see? Poe: *pulls out the magazine* "Here you go." ranpo: ......i think i know who did it. Poe: D: "ALREADY?!" ranpo: yeah. our killer has two motives. money and resentment. our culprit knew the 4th chapter's contents before it was released, meaning they must have been close with the writer. they waited for it to be finished, and with the chapter finished, it would fetch a hefty price. Poe: "B-But how would the killer know the chapter will sell?" ranpo: because they already sold it to someone. Poe: "Who?" ranpo: *points to...* you. Poe: "Karl, please." ranpo: you brought an animal into the building, one that isnt a typical service animal. a unique factor like that implies you werent acquainted with the seller. also a few days ago you mentioned winning something at an auction right? Poe: "Stop...Okay. I wanted to solve this mystery first--and if the police bought the manuscript, they would have figured it out first." ranpo: well, since we already figured it out, why not give it to the police, im sure you'll be given a great reward for it. Poe: *sighs* "I suppose so. After all, it only cost 175 thousand." ranpo:...................................................................................................... ???: brother! ranpo: ?? *turns to see…* -rowena is there with another girl.- Poe: "Oh, hello!" *waves* girl: .... rowena: what brings you two here? ranpo: business stuff. you? rowena: official mystery and occult club business. ^^ Poe: "Ah. Who is this?" rowena: oh! she's one of the new members of the club. *smiles at her* go on, say hello. ^^ girl:.................alice arisugawa. hi. -cold awkward silence- Poe: "...Oh. That's a unique name." arisugawa:......thanks. ranpo: ... soooo, what brings you guys here? rowena: ufufu..well, you see....there's been reports of a shadowy cryptid in the area!! <3 Poe: "??? Really? Does it have a size, shape, or distinctive odor?" rowena: that's the thing, it seems to have changed its appearance depending on who's seen it. some say it was a stag, others say it was a large dog. how fascinating! Poe: "??? Really? Does it have a size, shape, or distinctive odor?" rowena: that's the thing, it seems to have changed its appearance depending on who's seen it. some say it was a stag, others say it was a large dog. how fascinating! ranpo: (she gets all excited over paranormal stuff just like poe gets all excited over mysteries. i guess the apple doesnt fall too far away from the other apples.) arisugawa:....what are you here for? ranpo: *looks at poe* Poe: "Solving a mystery." arisugawa:....what kind? Poe: "Oh! Well, it involves murder--" ranpo: and we're looking for an envelope. arisugawa: might we help? Poe: *shiny eyes* "Ranpo? My sister and I are excellent at this line of work..." ranpo: alright. arisugawa: then....i will....use it..... Poe: owo;;; " 'It'? L-Like the clown?" arisugawa: *undoes her neck ribbon and ties her hair up into a ponytail. she then removes her eyepatch to reveal....a silver eye* *dramatic hand pose* the mysteries unsolved by my silver eye are next to none. ranpo:... rowena:... ranpo + rowena: OwO;; (she's a chuunibyou...) arisugawa:...*glance* the envelope thou seeks out, tis by window yonder. ranpo: ?? oh, sweet. -ranpo takes the envelope....there is an arrow on the window pointing up- rowena: ?? *she looks up....* !!!!!!! *A body is seen outside...falling...* ranpo: !!!! (that's-) -crunch- -screams are heard- Poe: ._____. "...That was the person in the photo." -and so- lydia: *observing the scene from a rooftop* Ivan: <Status report.> lydia: <the detective is investigating now.> Ivan: <Oh? You are monitoring him?> lydia: <yes. here's hoping oguri doesnt fuck this up.> Ivan: <Have some faith in him. Besides, we have our contingency...> lydia: hmm.... Ivan: <Would you like me to send backup?> lydia: <not just yet...> Ivan: <Then proceed.> -back on the ground- ranpo: *examining* oguri: *in the crowd* ... *griiiin* (all according to plan.) -ghost like creatures appear around him- oguri: (alright mr detective. bear witness to the ability even feared by the northen demon. PERFECT CRIME!) -the entities spread out, devouring evidence, but no one seems to bear notice to them.- Poe: "Instant death...Tragic." rowena: .... ranpo:.................................... Poe: "With this, you lost the person to clear your colleague?" ranpo: *still examining....hands shaking* officer: sir, please let the detective work. -_-; Poe: Q_Q "Sorry..." ranpo:..............dont know...... Poe: "Well...I mean, maybe he was suicide, or the Rats got to them?" oguri: *griiiin* (MUSHISHISHISHISHI~ you wont ever catch me, mr detective~! the ethereal gate is closed and will not open! i am the absolute detective killer! the false charges wont be cleared! and you wont ever find out.....) ranpo: *looks at them, with a look of utter despair* Poe: Q~Q "C-Come on, Ranpo! Let's look at the evidence..." *picks up the victim's shoe* "Maybe this has something?" ranpo: no..nononononono.... oguri: (and you wont ever find out.....why dostoyevsky let himself be caught on purpose!) {-two months ago-} {oguri: *in a cell*........ ?? } {???: "A pleasure to meet you."} {oguri: ??? w-who are you? how did you get past-.... !!!! } {-the two guards lay dead on the floor-} {oguri: w-w-what the hell did you do?! s-stay back!} {???: "I'm sorry for this inconvenience--but I came to free you."} {oguri: .....} {???: "Such untapped potential...confined by four walls. But freedom has a price."} {oguri:.....what do you want?} {???: "I want you to use your ability for a task I have."} {oguri:.....very well. but i have a list of conditions.} {???: "Oh?"} {oguri: i wont be on the front lines, i will only be using my ability. also i will need a bookshelf, preferably with books on the occult and ancient alchemy. also i will need 20 medium sized chest binders, 35 bottles of hair mousse, purple satin bedsheets, and a phonograph. also all communication will be done via text messages, i hate phone calls, they're too noisy. my room will be an elegant european styled room with armoire and walk in closet. tablewear will be either silver or white china and all my clothes will be starched.} {???: "..." “Very well. Anything else?"} {oguri: when this is all done, you'll help me escape the country. but it _MUST_ be at the very least, a month or so.} {???: "Why not the same day?"} {oguri: there is something that i need to do. there is someone whom i need to kill...} -...- oguri:............. *walking away* arisugawa: ??....*walks over to ranpo, trying to talk to him* ranpo: ....... Poe: Q~Q "He's so quiet..." rowena: do you think he's alright? Poe: "Ranpo prides himself as a master detective. If he cannot solve this crime, I am afraid it will shake him to his very core..." ranpo:...im tired, im gonna go home. rowena: e-eh?? arisugawa:... Poe: "R-Ranpo? Do you want us to walk with you?" ranpo: im good....im gonna sleep it off.... rowena:............ arisugawa: fret not, mr poe. i feel things will turn out alright....my silver eye has forseen so. Poe: "I sure hope so..." -in the alley- oguri: *giggles* (I AN INVINCIBLE! AGAIN! WEEP WITH DESPAIR, DETECTIVES! YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT THE KING OF CRIME! I WILL-) ???: "Hola." oguri: *SCREEEEEEEAM* *covers his mouth* QxQ (OH GOD THAT WAS SO HIGH PITCHED IT WAS DISGUSTING!) Ranpo: "??? Hey, not to bother you or anything, but you know where the taxi stand is?" oguri: *cough cough AHEM* um... well. (keep it together, oguri. he didnt see you, it's a coincidence! that's right, a coincidence!) sorry, but im afraid i cant help you there. Ranpo: "...Boo. I'll just wait here." oguri:..... *sweats* (FUUUUUUUCK HE'S GOING TO SEE THE EXTRACTOR'S VEHICLE! THINK OGURI, THINK!) well, there is a subway station not far from here. i can show you a map if you'd like- Ranpo: "BUT WALKING IS SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!" >3< oguri: ^-^# well, maybe try taking the bus- Ranpo: "BUSES ARE ANNOYING, TOO! LIKE, HOW DO YOU PAY?! WHO CARRIES CRISP SINGLE DOLLAR BILLS UNLESS IT'S FOR THE SNACK MACHINE?!" oguri: ... (how does this man even function?) Ranpo: "Usually, someone from work picks me up, but one's in jail, another's probably drowning in the river, another doesn't have a license--" oguri: *INTERNALLY SCREAMING* Ranpo: *light bulb* "I know! Since walking is annoying, I'll just ride on your back home!" oguri: I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! AND HOW CAN YOU ASK SOMETHING SO ASANINE FROM A COMPLETE STRANGER?!?! Ranpo: "??? But I make my subordinates do that all the time for me?" oguri: ...................................... (WHAT) *A car is heard pulling up* oguri: TTvTT (OH THANK FUCK) well, my ride is here. so i must cut the conversation short. cheers~ Driver: "I am sorry for the delay, sir." oguri: to my stop please. (this will drive me to city outskirts, then i'll hop a truck all the way to california, and i'll be out scott fr-) Ranpo: *already in the back seat, arms crossed* "..." oguri: (EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!?!?!?!) GET OUT! THIS IS A PRIVATE VEHICLE! Ranpo: "It's hot in here--turn up the A/C!" Driver: "Very good, sir." *does so as he starts driving* oguri: IT'S THE MIDDLE OF WINTER! D8< Ranpo: "Well, I need the cool breeze to go with the snacks in this fancy vehicle's snack bar." *pulls out a bag of chips* "Want some? They're nacho." oguri: NO! *glances up in front* Ranpo: "I really need to thank you." oguri: ?? for what? Ranpo: "For this ride in your motor vehicle! One day, I shall repay you. When you end up unemployed, destitute, homeless, and starving, I'll get you hired at the Agency!" oguri: *vein-pop* (why you little-)..... ^^# so, what brings you to the observation tower then? Ranpo: "Sleuthing." oguri: oh? are you in a school detective club then? Ranpo: "Nah, I'm trying to exonerate one of my coworkers. The one in prison who usually picks me up in the company car." oguri:.......i...see..... Ranpo: "Yeah, really bloody, too. Someone fell from the roof, and they murdered someone, and they probably were involved in framing my friend--" oguri: gross. im not really a fan of murder mysteries. i prefer more occultic writings to be frank. Ranpo: *opens bag of chips* "Yeah, mystery stories are so easy to solve. But this one puzzles me." oguri: oh? Ranpo: "I noticed the victim's shoes were too big for them--which means the murderer swapped shoes with them--" oguri: OwO;;; <w<;;;;;; Ranpo: "And that was one trick the suspect used--because they had to make the case just that more difficult, in addition to their reality-warping ability--" oguri: oh? an interesting theory. Ranpo: "Those reality-warpers can defy, well, reality, so my deductions aren't going to compete against them." oguri: (no shit.) Ranpo: "Good thing I solved it." *munches on a chip* oguri: ??!! wait what? Ranpo: "Exciting, huh? Well, as an additional thank you, not only will get your poor self a job, I'll tell you how I solved it! The key was the red envelope." oguri: !! Ranpo: "The 'cleaner' got information from some rats about ability users like my friend Poe, enticing him to seek the manuscript. When he grabbed the enveloped, the scapegoat was timed to fall." oguri: .... Ranpo: "And how did the cleaner get that envelope--with a manuscript in it? Easy: the cleaner killed the author and stole it from him." oguri: *his stomach drops* -meanwhile- yana:.......*walking back to the alley* .......... rowena:....find anything yet, brother? Poe: *shakes his head* "I've been reading as fast as I can with nothing..." *takes the last page--* "!!!" rowena: ??.... !!! arisugawa:....look at the quality of the paper. it was photocopied... Poe: "Yes...with a...spot of water?" rowena: but why photocopy the last pa- -CAW CAW! CAW CAW!- arisugawa: O-O rowena: o.o Poe: "EEEP!" *grabs his phone* arisugawa: that was his phone? rowena: oh, i see you got a ringtone now. ^^ Poe: "Y-Yes...Just surprised by the sound...and anyone contacting me?" *pulls up the message* yana:...... *walking away* ???: "Yana?" yana: !!!.... Anya: "...Is that you?" yana:...*sprints* Anya: "Come back!" *runs* -elsewhere- oguri: you're saying kindaichi's murderer and the cleaner are the same person? what proof do you have? Ranpo: "..." *reaches into his pocket--and opens up a sheet of paper to show--* oguri: !!!!!! Ranpo: *smirks* "Familiar?" oguri: b-but...but how- Ranpo: "I found it folded up and hidden in the flower shop. Trippy, yes?" oguri: .....*shaking* Ranpo: "Yet you'll notice this page is photocopied. And--well, I won't bore you with the details, but I determined the photocopy was the same paper in texture as used in the office supply shop next door." oguri: tch- that's stupid! why only photocopy one page? Ranpo: *smiles* "Why, indeed. Tell me, what was your name?" oguri: !!! i-i dont have to answer you! Ranpo: "??? Then how am I supposed to name the culprit in both the theft and the murder?" oguri: !!!!!!!! -the car screeches to a halt- *A gun is pointed at Ranpo's head* oguri: NOT IN THE CAR! Driver: "Cannot have the 'luggage' making a mess." *aims at Ranpo* "Out." Ranpo: "..." *smiles* "Well, that's all I needed." officer: PUT THE GUN DOWN! oguri: !!!!!!!! h-how- ???: "Ranpo! I did what you asked!" oguri: !!!!!! motherfucker... minoura: edogawa, get out of the car, these two are under arrest. Driver: "...Just try." *opens his wallet, showing a badge* oguri:...*grins* Driver: "I am Russian diplomatic staff." minoura: damn. rowena: you're not really going to let them go, are you?? Poe: "Diplomacy does not excuse attempted murder!" rowena: exactly! Driver: "..." *smirks, opens his gun to reveal--* "No bullets." rowena: !! Driver: "We'll drive off, then..." Ranpo: "...Dostoyevsky's plan, I'm sure." oguri: we bid you adieu..........*text message* ??....... -a light shines- oguri: w-what the- ???: "As I said, against a reality-warper, I'm hardly a challenge..." oguri: (w-what? where.....is this....i cant....i cant breathe...) ???: "How could you?!" oguri: !!!! (y-yoko....mizo?) Yokomizo: "How could you kill me?! You bastard!" oguri: y-yokomizo i swear its not like that!! Yokomizo: *grips tighter around Oguri's neck* "MURDERER!" oguri: YOKOMIZO STOP IT PLEASE! Yokomizo: "YOU KILLED ME!" oguri: I ONLY DID WHAT YOU ASKED ME TO! *he's crying* ???: "Exactly." oguri: ??!! w-wha-.... *Snap...and Oguri is watching...himself?* oguri?: *strangling yokomizo* oguri:...this is.....that former guild member's ability...poe...right? Ranpo: *behind Oguri* *nods* " 'I only did what you asked me to'...I knew the how, but not the why..." oguri:............ like you'd understand. Ranpo: "I think I already do...The key is that you put off your escape. A week? Or a month later? Who would wait after killing someone?" oguri: ....what are you getting at? Ranpo: "You're either crazy...or you felt obligated." oguri:.... {oguri: hey yokomizo, which is a better method? stabbing? strangulation? poison? blunt force trauma?} {Yokomizo: "Hmmm...Stabbing. Can't expect the audience to know the chemical composition to poisons."} {oguri: *pout* laaame. so who told you about your latest story, the murder one?} {Yokomizo: "My, my, that wounds me~...Tell me about the murder. I need an idea for writing--deadline's coming."} {oguri: -.-; that again? *wraps arms around his waist* mystery novels are bound by internal rules. the dying message trick in a locked room? it's old as dirt. if you want a puzzle solve it with a numerical formula, dummy. =3=} {Yokomizo: "..." *smiles* "You never change."} {oguri: *pouts* here's an idea. the police detective in reality switches places with the detective in the novel? the real life detective cant keep up with novel logic, and the novel detective is paralyzed by the real life case!} {Yokomizo: "It exists. It's called 'meta.'"} {oguri:..................... w-well then how about this! the detective and criminal battle it out, and the criminal has killed using magic, and the detective in turn uses magic to find the solution! there's no way that's commonplace!} {Yokomizo: "It's called 'Anti-Mystery.'"} {oguri:......uuuugh, then make a mystery about a poisonous insect! >n<# } {Yokomizo: *laughs...then gets quiet* "...It's hard not to get pigeonholed into some subgenre..."} {oguri:....yokomizo...} {Yokomizo: "Heh heh...Nevermind. Just thinking aloud, since I'm so happy you're here..."} {oguri:....*blush* tch-, still the same as when we were students....} {Yokomizo: =w= "You're one to talk~"} {oguri: =///n///= i could kill you, jerk.} oguri: right...i....i killed him...im a sick, twisted murderer. there, i confessed, alright??! Ranpo: "...No. You lied." oguri: ?! Ranpo: "First, if you had given the true solution, we wouldn't still be stuck here. Second...'sick'? 'Twisted'?" *yawns* "That's so cliche that the author might as well have been writing it off as just a joke...Because that's what they wrote: a farce. And a farce in which they were...the murder victim." oguri: .......... Ranpo: "...He killed himself." oguri:.................... {oguri: a-a year?} {Yokomizo: *nods* "So, I have a lot of work ahead of me." *weak smile*} {oguri: ............i-isnt there a surgery you can get? anything?} {Yokomizo: *small laugh* "Yes, of course...I consider all 'mysteries' from all angles, don't I?" *frowns* "There are no other solutions."} {oguri: ...........} {Yokomizo: "So, that leaves getting everything in order--including writing my ultimate mystery."} {oguri:....heh, even when you're dying, you're still on about your mysteries, huh?} {Yokomizo: *smiles...* "...I have the last one planned out. You know, except for the final key."} {oguri: and what is that?} {Yokomizo: "The criminal. And it has to be one who cannot be discerned halfway into the story..."} {oguri: ......who did you have in mind?} {Yokomizo: "...A friend."} {oguri: ......} oguri: ha...HAHAHAHHAHA.....alright! i was the one to play the murderer! of course i agreed! kill the man who annoyed me to the core _and_ get paid for it? why would i ever pass that up?! Ranpo: "Then why did you hide the manuscript?" oguri: eh- Ranpo: "See the water drop that smudges the ink? Well, when you write with quick-drying ink, like a professional would, no water drops. Therefore, the drops must have been long after the writing was finished...such as when the killer departed with the manuscript...and the last page would have been at the top of the stack of pages..." oguri: shut up. Ranpo: "When the murderer and the murdered are in cohoots, is that 'the ultimate mystery'? Hardly. You swapped the photocopy so that no one would analyze the water and determine that it was..” {oguri: *strangling yokomizo...tears falling* y-you're an idiot, yokomizo. y-you're the stupidest idiot i-i've ever met in my life!} {Yokomizo: *coughing* "J-just l-Like when we were s-st-students..."} {oguri: s-shut up....at least....tell me one thing....w-what is it you see...when you look at me?} {Yokomizo: *gasping...shuddering* "What I see is...the man I love..."} {oguri:.....*bites his lip, shutting eyes tightly* i love you too....} oguri:........................*eyes wide, tears falling* Ranpo: "I think we have an understanding...You know I could destroy your beloved's final mystery. And I want my friend back." oguri:....there's....no proof..... Ranpo: "There's circumstantial evidence--enough to poke enough holes in the accepted story, start up gossip, and turn this perfect mystery into nothing more than a second-rate dime-store novel." oguri: y...you wouldnt....... Ranpo: *opens his eyes* "I told you...I want my friend back. And there is something I've learned from this experience, from facing a madman like Dostoyevsky..." *sneers* "If I have to become a demon to make sure no one is ever hurt by Dostoyevsky or another of you rotten rodents, I'll gladly do it." oguri: *trembling* no........ -a shadow of dostoyevsky appears in place of ranpo- oguri: .....*terrified* Ranpo: "SURRENDER! Or I will publicly announce Yokomizo's farce and destroy his legacy!" oguri: ALRIGHT!!! *tears falling* alright...as...as much as i wanted to hate him....i loved yokomizo more than anyone...i'll turn myself in..... Ranpo: "..." *A hand touches Oguri's head* ???: "Bring back the evidence. Exonerate him. Now." oguri: ..................... -he looks up and sees....- "Dostoyevsky*: "..." *smiles* oguri:........... -and so- oguri:....*in the cop car* Poe: "So...What did the cops find?" rowena: apparently the agency's grenades were stolen during shipping. Poe: "!!! Then that should help in the case for Kunikida?" rowena: it should. *smiles* alice, we're glad you noticed that man walking off. arisugawa:....just thought......he was suspicious.... -cold silence- Poe: ._.

Ranpo: "I'm just tossing something I don't need--" *it's a business card* oguri:....whats this for? Ranpo: "I was bored and was researching secret organizations that could use someone to help them keep their cover." oguri: .... why give this to me? Ranpo: "Help them.

Akutagawa: "...If something happened to you (that I didn't do), the Tiger would never forgive me." lucy: ...ok, _why_ are you so obsessed with him, huh? Akutagawa: "...He's powerful." lucy: is that all? Akutagawa: "Power is a challenge to get better. To do more. He's an example, isn't he?" lucy: i guess....but is that the only reason? Akutagawa: "...I am attracted to him." lucy: .... Akutagawa: "His...personality is not...awful, I suppose." lucy: yeah. even if he's not 'prince charming material', im happy with him. *smiles* Akutagawa: >\\\\> "..." *nods* lucy: he's doing his best, and i appreciate it... i do worry im a bit pushy with him. *sigh* im a real doofus, huh? Akutagawa: *too fast* "Yes." lucy: ... 'why no lucy, you're not too pushy' or 'your not a doofus at all!'..... thaaaaanks. Akutagawa: "...I'm not good with small talk. And I don't think you're pushy. I think you're stubborn." lucy: ..... Akutagawa: "You don't seem to shake off what you seek. That's not so different from the Tiger hunting his prey...or an assassin after a target." lucy: that's....an interesting analogy. >->; Akutagawa: "What, have you gone soft since leaving that guild of yours?" lucy: watch it, dip dye. Akutagawa: *narrows his eyes* "...You're fortunate I promised the Tiger." lucy: ^u^ Akutagawa: "Hmph. Might as well get you to your residence before weirdos come out this night." lucy: i can make the last block myself. (if he sees the mafia boss there....) Akutagawa: "I insist. ...Or are you afraid?" lucy: im fine, really. im not helpless. Akutagawa: *walks ahead* "The Tiger would kill me if you were injured, so just take the damn offer." lucy: D8 HEY! Akutagawa: *keeps walking* lucy: *chasing after him* Akutagawa: "Pick up the pace, Doll Girl." *sees the apartments* "There they are." lucy: yes, now i can be on my wa- Akutagawa: *turns around* "Yes, I suppose you can." *The curtains open--and Mori looks out the window* Lucy: O-O;; Akutagawa: *not facing the window* "I suppose this is good night." Mori: O_____o lucy: YESINDEEDGOODNIGHT *makes a 'get back' motion with her hands* Mori: *hides down* Akutagawa: *raises an eyebrow* "...Is that a new way of saying 'good night'?" lucy: im telling you to skedaddle. shoo shoo. *heads on in* Akutagawa: "...Well, good night." *turns* lucy:.... *phew* -elsewhere-
