OMG YOU ARE? i am super excited! š
Yes!!! It is a topic that I have thought a great deal about in the past (as part of my research for writing this character and trying to figure out wtf motivates his preferences), so I am thrilled to have the chance to discuss it.
AHAhahAAHAHa

“Thank you and I appreciate the offer.” That would indeed be helpful.
“As I passed out because the vampire in question was near-starving, from what I could tell, I can only give you a maximum approximation. About four hours at most.”
Shuichi stretched, as much as he could for being a tiny bat and not wanting to fall on his face. He would change back soon, after Hakuba left. Showing up naked in front of his student would probably break his brain more than it already was broken. [And the age gap was really uncomfortable for him, all in all.]
“Four hours…” Ā Hakuba tapped his chin with his index finger, then nodded and carefully moved to stand. Wobbly at best, it took him a moment or two to get his bearings, frown firmly fixed on his face. “Four hours, minus the fifteen to twenty minutes I’ve been sitting here, recovering… should be enough if I pull a few strings…”
The words trailed off in a mumble as the detective paced back and forth in front of the couch, steps slow, head clearing. Then he stopped, fist in hand, resolute and determined.
“Right then. I will return momentarily. Enjoy your little transformation. Try not to bite anyone else in the meantime, please.”
This said, he left straightway for the door to let himself out.
idk iāve always seen rp as a kind of collaborative fanfic?
((I THINK IT IS. REALLY IT IS. And just plain collaborative writing when not in a fandom. RP is just great. Yes. Okay. š
….also I have been working on my chivalry/feminism/foil draft for you over the past several days with eager excitement and I’m finding image examples and skdlagjfs;dsaljfa thank you for being so interesting, basically.))
So it seemed he hadnāt. It was a little disappointing – as well as a slight relief at the same time – but he supposed those little messages had been rather vague, despite their simplicity, compared to the notes and gifts. Especially if one didnāt know what to look for or how to read them.
Perhaps he should give Hakuba a hint before he left.
“Stalking?” A light, playful hum left his lips and he grinned, head tilting to the side as a glint ofĀ something settled in his eyes. āOh, I wouldnāt call it that, exactly. I was merely keeping anĀ eye on you. Thatās all. Though, reallyā¦ā
Smile fading slightly, he continued; āYou need to take better care of yourself, detective.ā
“That’s what I’ve heard. But, honestly, how am I to keep up in such a competitive field of I don’t work as hard as I possibly can?” Hakuba, momentarily distracted from the very important previous discussion, watched the thief with a genuinely serious expression.Ā
“I know that health is important and all that, but what’s the difference of a few hours of missing sleep here, or a missed meal or two there?"Ā
Of course, as he said it, Hakuba realized just how silly it sounded. He turned his head to the side, making more of an embarrassed pout than anything.
"Right, well, point taken. The thesis statement of your messages combined seems rather clear, now. Unless you’ve anything to add?”
Karin gazed at him as he bashfully continued speaking, rambling a bit in his nervousness. When he finished his explanation of his behavior off with a question directed at her, she answered by leaning forward and kissing his cheek with an affectionate smile.
“Hakuba-kun,” she began, her tone laced in fondness, “Iām going to be fine. I would tell you if it were something life-threatening. I trust you, itās justā¦ah, itās nothing. I donāt know. Iām sure you and your fabulous detective-ing skills could deduce it, but Iāll have to ask you not to. Itās not even a big enough deal for me to be in the hospital in the first place,” she visibly lied through her teeth. “My father is just overly concerned. Enough about that, though, tell me about you, your day. Cheer me up.”
Satisfied that sheād sated his curiosity, the little fragile thing of a baker laid back against her pillows and threaded the fingers on one hand through his absentmindedly, apparently fearing heād leave now that he had some information.
“I’m loathe to deny the request of a lady, particularly one who needs the aforementioned cheer. I’ll stay out of it. As for my day, well, I went to several meetings this morning concerning a rash of new cases regarding gang activity,” he wet his lips, considering, Ā "…and spent two or three hours in court to provide testimonies for some others. At least I can say that I’ve only had to do one short pile of paperwork thus far, though I know that there’s more waiting for me at the office…“Ā
He smiled for her, glancing away from their entwined fingers to watch her face. If he had a pony for every time someone asked him toĀ not investigate their secrets (which only served to make them more interesting), he would have far too many ponies than was reasonably safe or zoned for his father’s estate. Though, honestly, he wondered if even the acres of land at his mother’s home in England would be enough. Alas, such was the life of a detective.
“You know, I hadnāt really thought about that. If we brought back enough for the whole office weād need about twelve cups of coffee and I only have enough for two.” he said a little embarrassed.
“Ah, that’s quite all right, Takagi-keiji. I’ll take care of that; it’ll be our treat. But you will need to help me carry it all. I wonder if they’d be willing to give us a box large enough to fit two or more of those cardboard carriers?"Ā
Hakuba hummed as he thought about that, hands in his pocket as they made their way to the cafe.Ā
"Those normally have enough spaces to carry four cups each. Four, eight, twelve, sixteen… You said that we needed twelve for the office at least, yes? Three or four would be sufficient, then. Either way, I’ll ask when we arrive. I’m certain that they’re used to office coffee runs, and if they are at all worth their expensive-looking logo, they will be able to adequately handle our request. Not to worry!"Ā
…is RP (on tumblr and elsewhere) just fanfic writing for those with ADD?
yes pretty much. your roleplays are v entertaining but i dont have anythign to say as a non-rp blog, as with most roleplay blogs in any fandom. (hakuba is too detective for all of you)
“Ah-hah! I was absolutely correct in my deduction. Now, for the handcuffs.”
shhh Hakubby quiet good job but shut up
Ahem. You know, I’m totally all right with that. And your blog is entertaining for me, too, but Hakuba doesn’t afford me the opportunity to say much OOCly, either. So I guess it works out. š Mutual entertainment and enjoyment of DCMK because omfg it is the best.
((also thank you for the compliment aahh!!!))
