Do you ever start RPing with someone then realize all too quickly, “I am way out of my league.”
did you mean with everyone?
((Gonna do the black bird memories this weekend, and pair each one with a happy drabble to match. Lots of short headcanon tidbits. Should be fun! I also need to finish chapter two of Spark and write up those confessions… ah, writing. <3))

“no, I don’t mean that you look like a girl. I mean that you look like those kind of people that if given enough make-up will pass as a girl…Well yea, you’re handsome and manly and stuff like that…”
wow. She should really control her mouth. Or at least try to say stuff that won’t cause misunderstandings. She has hurt the guy’s pride. Congrats, Shizune.
or, maybe not. “a date?”
“Sure, I’ll go on a date with you.”
“You… you will? That’s fantastic!” Good job, Hakuba! You get to go on a date with one of your idols, who happens to be one of the most brilliant detectives that you’ve ever had the chance to meet. Hoo! He was excited.
Except that… it meant that he’d have to wear a maid’s uniform.
The blonde coughed into a fist, brows knitted as he remembered this fact somewhat unfortunately. “…But I have to wear the.. apron and everything? Do you know how to do makeup? Er, I meant, stage makeup… professional… I mean, clearly, you know how to apply it to yourself, you’re quite good at that I imagine, but ah… making me look girly enough..?”
God this was awkward. But… worth it. He hoped.

The Wickham-Hakuba Estate in London:
If you thought the one in Japan was bad, the one in England is absolutely ridiculous. Granted, Hakuba’s mother inherited it, and it’s been in the family for a very long time. It’s constantly being renovated and improved, too, as she hosts events there on a regular basis. Large, ritzy affairs for charities and organizations to have their benefit parties. It boasts a ballroom, large dinner/reception area, sitting rooms, dozens of guest rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, expansive grounds and gardens, a lake, and so on. Excessive, yes, but his mum puts it to good use. Currently, the only people living there are Marion (his mother) and the staff – groundskeepers, maids, cooks, etc.
Also, it’s actually only barely in London at all, technically speaking… about as far south-west as you can get. That’s one of Hakuba’s favorite things about it – it’s far enough away from the city to be nice and private, but close enough that they don’t have to go far to be back in the thick of it.
Even better – the stone dividing wall around the property backs up to a nature preserve and, as a child, Hakuba found a section behind hedges where it had fallen apart. Thus, roaming wild woodland was an easy thing for him to do, and he did it often.

The Hakuba Estate in Japan:
Large, pretentious, excessive. Features a formal dining room; a large kitchen, drawing room/library, a parlor (with billiards, wet bar, large flat screen, couches), formal living room, several bedrooms (most of which are now empty guest bedrooms), office, underground parking for their fancy cars, large yard, koi pond, marble flooring, giant paintings, rugs, etc…
Hakuba’s ridiculous bedroom:
Fireplace, warddrobe-turned-liquor cabinet, reclinging arm chairs, giant rug; bathroom with garden tub, walk-in shower for two, excessive cabinets full of medical supplies and towels; walk-in closet with fire safe, panel to the attic, and dresser; desk, filing cabinet, queen-sized bed, and a large window with bench that lifts up for extra storage space (blankets, lock box).
The Koi Pond:
Both the Hakuba Estate and the Wickham-Hakuba Estate have a koi pond in the back. They’re nearly identical, too – mirror images, in fact, that when overlayed form a complete circle. Yin-yang, actually.
(Pro tip: Hakuba privately believes that his parents have a chance of getting back together so long as both koi ponds remain…)

One day I’ll get around to mapping out the mansion and its grounds, with labels… but that day is not today!
“well..Sonoko said that there are boys that look good in female clothes so I wanted to do some experimenting. Also like I said, I chose this based on you skin tone, hair and eye colour. It suits you the most. You also have a rather…feminine look. I would say yes but recently there are no cases…”
“so, wear this maid uniform for me. please, Hakuba! I’ll do anything for you after that”
“I have a… a feminine look? Are you saying that I look like a girl? I thought that I was rather… handsome and manly, personally, but…”
What did this mean? Had he been completely off-base before? Was this why Kudo-san didn’t seem all that interested in him, despite that he idolized her and her work? It was tragic, really. But what to do?
“If I agree to wear the maid uniform, would you… go out on a date with me? Just one… nothing too formal, I assure you…"
kitameguire reblogged your post and added:
“Saturday night. I have no school and no cases. How about you?”
“I always have something that I should be working on, but provided that I don’t get called into the station for any disasters, I should be able to come by for a couple of hours, at least…?”
“it’ll get rid of my boredom.. anything. Just name it. As long as it’s not something weird.”
“Your method of curing boredom… is to put me in a dress? A maid’s outfit, no less? But why me? Why a maid’s outfit? I must admit that I’m very perplexed by this notion but… but perhaps we could reach a compromise… and, ah, go solve a case together, instead!”
