THE POLICE GUEST... CRIMES BOOK [World 1]

[stressweets]

Has your character committed a crime and gets to do some time in Tsukasa's house jail? Here's where you can note it. It's funny and good noodle incident reference too.

This isn't necessary I just thought it'd be funny, so there's no form. Mention how long they stay until Taka kicks them out too.

[suddenlybees]

Kano needed a place to stay for two nights, so he spread chewed up bubblegum all over the front steps and then loitered around until somebody came out and got their shoes stuck, then asked if he can come in for a glass of warm milk and a bed.

[osuni]

okuni also needed a place to stay for two days because her apartment is in UTTER DISREPAIR and she's a walking ball of cursed misfortune so she pops up into the station/house bright and early to tell either of the policeman on duty of her crimes including:

1.) the destruction of (1) booth and (1) fruit stall (she tripped and fell and it like snowballed from there to utter destruction but still, she's a perpetrator)
2.) accidentally pushing someone dressed as a mascot into the river (she fished him out and fell into the river herself right after)
3.) intercepting and eating a box of cucumbers meant for Wei Wuxian (she tacks this on as an afterthought)

[stressweets]

Tsukasa spent a night in jail thinking over his conduct at the date auction, only letting himself out for work the next morning. His list of crimes...... threatening an abuse of power, public disturbance/loudness, and being extraordinarily rude. He was raised so much better than this.

[bakaomi]

[ SO A LITTLE AFTER SHIGURE HANDS THEM THE GOODS

and by goods i mean letter ]

What do you think he wants?

[stressweets]

I'm not sure.

[ as familiar as he might be with the xian le family considering his uncle, he can't say he knows them all That well. some people aside at least. ]

Mm... Maybe it's a delivery he wants to make sure arrives where it needs to be? Not that Shigure isn't reliable, but... Or maybe there's someone he has suspicions about that he'd like us to investigate. That does seem more up our alley.

OH MY?

[fracturamods]

[Good evening!

At some point when Tsukasa and Takaomi are both together, they will suddenly be accosted by a young lady all dressed in fine silks and soft, fair makeup. It seems as though she's a courtesan in training from the Xian Le side of town. She nearly trips over her sandals but looks very relieved to find them - ]

Perverts! Infiltrators...!!

[You'll have to excuse her, she's a little bit out of breath.]

Disgusting, uninvited men at the courtesan house!

[She won't rest until the two of them are guided to the courtesan house in question - you have NPC rights to her as you need as this mod comment will conclude our involvement!

As a result of an investigation, Takaomi and Tsukasa will find Akira (survivaltricks) and Minato (messianic) at the courtesan house in question, cross-dressing and done up in makeup, and will be expected to make the arrest to bring the two of them into jail. Please contact their players (Al and Cal) in order to thread this out!]

[wisterin]

[ Knock knock, Tsukasa. Ring a ding, the bell is sounding. Whatever his fancy house with a jail that Shinobu does not fully approve of has. There's a basket on her arm that holds a lovely bento made especially for a hardworking police teen.

There's a smile on her face as she waits for him to answer, but he's known her long enough to know it's a smile she smiles just for the sake of smiling, as if she's just holding onto her sanity and whatever strength she has left. ]

[stressweets]

[ Adoring the idea of a doorbell, so that. He's a little slow in answering, and peeking through the peephole has him in a whirl of emotions - delighted, surprised, and worried. He's not afraid of his dear Shishi, so to speak, but, well.

...She already looks like she's barely hanging on.

He'll just have to be careful. Very careful. He opens the door a moment later, stepping out to immediately hug her. She looks like she needs it, in his totally unprofessional opinion. ...He minds the basket, too. ]

I've never been happier to see you, Shishi. [ Tsukasa exhales softly - mmm, after having to spend so much time with the worse Shishi(maru), this really is way nicer. He does draw away a bit to kiss her forehead very friendly-like, continuing: ] What do you want to drink? We have all the usuals, plus a bottle of wine I discovered the other night.

[ which may already be half empty but anyway- ]

are we in week 3 bella time is confusing

[osuni]

[WHERE IS TSUKASA if he's at the police station, then Okuni will appear on his doorstep. Not to confess any crimes, FOR ONCE!! She's here because she promised eons ago that she'd tell him information in exchange for letting her club operate illegally i mean legally, so she figures she should carry out that promise.

In the meantime, she'll flip through the the police guest crimes book to see if anything new and funny is written down here... hm... the pages are just filled with Kano, Okuni, and... Tsukasa??? He put himself in jail?? wow.................

anyway here is Okuni the gremlin]

i don't know, time is a lie

[stressweets]

[ HE'S PROBABLY THERE he is

sort of surprised to see her?????? hello ]

...Did you come to confess a crime? [ ? ??? ???? what else would she be here for, ]

beginning of this week?? time is a construct

[dianxias]

[ late one evening, tsukasa will be receiving a personal summons from xie lian. he sends someone who is not shigure to hand deliver it, because it's Business TM. ]

Please come to the Xian Le temple as soon as you receive this note.
Burn it when you have read it.
- XL

[stressweets]

[ "did i do something wrong" -- the thought of every teenager when an adult tells them to come somewhere immediately

but he has things to talk to xie lian about too, so this works out in his favor -- last week brought a lot to the table, so he burns the note as instructed, dresses in his best, and heads over to the temple. he won't embarrass himself this time.... he refuses to.

when he can finally see the xian le head, he gives him a tired smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. xl! your son has arrived. ]

Good evening, Xie Lian. I hope you've been well.

[givethemhell]

[A mysterious LETTER arrives at the police station sometime in the night, slipped under the door...]

Tsukasa,

I've given you a lot of trouble over the last few weeks, haven't I? I'm sorry for adding so much to your plate when you already had a lot to deal with.

Moving forward, I'm sure you'll be able to pick things back up here. I'll do my best to take care of things and finish what I started, but work hard on your end too, alright? What this city needs more than anything is unity. It's the best way to peace.

I don't know if a united Westside and Eastside will ever be possible, or if Mori and Xian Le will ever truly be able to come together. But I think - I hope - that if more people like you speak up and start working for it, you'll find the peace you all deserve.

Good luck moving forward.

Be well,
Wei Ying

I'm too lazy to make another inbox, so above is his previously apped self (CRAU) and below is everything else (Canon).

5/12ish

[disreguarded]

[ you know, I actually have no idea if beau would even know who tsukasa is, but we're going to assume she knows he's a cat because he's kind of friends with kano. in any case, she's out on the streets, actually looking for stray cats! she has food! and wine, but that's probably a given.

she's probably intending more on feeding kano, but look. this works too. she settles cross-legged on bench and keeps an eye out. she also sits - very stiffly, stretching every so often with a wince. ]

IM SORRY IM HERE i have no idea where my time has gone this past week... time is fake

[stressweets]

[ kano does in fact have like two whole friends, tsukasa and beau, so this is reasonable.

tsukasa has a hard time saying no to free food, too - especially since he's been avoiding his usual haunts... so beau gets a curiously look (she is probably vaguely familiar, in that "knows shes a friend of a friend but just never crossed paths long enough to talk" way), and seeing as she has food,

well. a cute, not-so-little cat is padding up. mreow. ♪ ]

[fracturamods]

[Good afternoon! It's a fresh new week in this changing country. Are you ready to face it? Hopefully so, because starting Monday, 5/18 and lasting until the evening of Friday, 5/22, Tsukasa will be dealing with a pesky little problem...

Tsukasa's had a pretty rough life. Who could blame him for yearning for the cushy years he spent as a housecat? It seems like he's not going to catch a break from that yearning any time soon, either! This week, Tsukasa will continually feel compelled to seek other people out and shower them with affection and attention in a bid to keep or earn their favor. However, the more affectionate he is with someone, the more convinced he'll become that something terrible will soon happen to that person, until he's overwhelmed with dread. This feeling will only ease once he insults or is otherwise mean to them instead. Try as he might to rid himself of these effects, it seems like he's stuck with them for the duration of the week.

You're free to play with this effect as you please. Have fun! :)]

5/18-ish

[souheki]

[Lan Wangji has a couple reasons for seeking out Tsukasa, and probably just asks Wei Wuxian where to find him. Wherever he is right now, Lan Wangji will approach him with a polite bow, since they don't actually know each other in this world.]

Hello. May I speak with you?

SIGHS

[stressweets]

[ Tsukasa knows Lan Wangji!

.....but only through Wei Wuxian's sighing over him, which he's recently experienced. He doesn't have a problem with him though, looking up almost- too eagerly from where he'd been crouched by the river. (He's just fishing.) ]

—Yes, of course. [ Standing up-! He'll dry his hands in his sleeves, tucking them in after a moment. ] Fufu... How may this humble Tsukasa help you today? Please, let me know. I'll do my best, no matter what it may be.

POST INVESTIGATION

[wisterin]

[ what's a proper timeline can we eat it

Over twenty four hours after they more or less ruined that teahouse, Shinobu searches for Tsukasa. She knows he likes to frequent shrines, so that's where she starts, going from one shrine to another until she arrives at the Kumou one.

She hopes a certain man red stringed to her brother isn't here. She doesn't have the patience to deal with him so soon after everything.

When she spots Tsukasa, she floats towards him, landing gently at his side. ]

Tsukasa? Did Ray look at you?

[stressweets]

[ me, holding my fifty threads happening this week: hahaha time is an illusion

Tsukasa's been taking it easy, mostly by sleeping as a cat - if he's gotten up or transformed at all, it was purely by necessity. Today is no different; Tsukasa stirs at the sound of her voice, lifting his head and blinking. Shinobu-san...♪ ]

He did. I'll be okay. [ No worries here...!! ] Are you feeling better as well, Shinya...Shinobu-san?

action, sometime monday!

[givethemhell]

[WELL HERE COMES AN ABSOLUTELY CURSED BEING. If Tsukasa actually took him up on his offer to live in the shrine, he'll look for him there! Otherwise he'll wait until he inevitably winds up on this punk's boat, grinning as bright as ever when their paths cross.]

Tsukasa! Just the fine cat I was looking for. Have a moment or two to spare?

[He starts rummaging in his sleeve before Tsukasa can even answer though, humming to himself as he searches.]

I've brought you something, too!

sighs as i open my arms to weirio

[stressweets]

[ He did!! He loves his new home thank you for asking, even if he is also still Lowkey Worried about it going up in flames. Literal or figurative.

Tsukasa's been sleeping more due to his broke-ass leg, but he's awake this time to peer at Wei Wuxian, head tilting curiously. ]

A gift~? You shouldn't have, Wei Wuxnyan-san. [ he can't ever call him wei ying because there's not a cute way to cattify that and that's just the unfortunate tea ] If it's fruit, though, I'll have to pass.

[ Last week was scarring, absolutely fucking tragic ]

gently makes this during the feelings plague

[disreguarded]

[ she's heard through the grapevine that purrkasa is living at the kumou shrine, so she's heading in that direction today! she's... still recovering from being stabbed, but it's fine, she can walk and that's what matters.

anyway, she comes in to settle by the altar, waiting to see if she catches sight of any cats! ]

i DID reply to this but i GUESS it did not go through, thank you work net

[stressweets]

[ it's fine. tsukasa's still recovering from his leg being broken, among other things, so technically he should not be walking around -

but it's difficult to sit still with ... everything. it's especially hard not to run to beau when he sees her, coming back from one of his routine walks around the shrine, and he does that cute little white person jog-esque hobble that animals with three good legs do when they're trying to get somewhere quickly. ]

Beau-san! [ ♪ a welcome face. he rubs his cheek against her knee, then leans most of his weight on her lap as he pulls himself half-up into it. ] ...How have you been? Shinobu-san told me you were injured before.

also during feelings plague! end of the week ish

[dianxias]

[ it's been strange not seeing tsukasa around puji as much, lately. xie lian can't help but worry... he's in good hands at the kumous, where things are statistically less likely to be destroyed (thanks, bad luck), but, as things settle in and xie lian battles off another nose-bleedy migraine, he figures he might as well check in.

tsukasa might pick up on the aroma of what has to be sushi, late in the evening towards the end of the week. from a freshly opened container, no doubts--something pulled just off of the market shops in umite. xie lian sits on the front awning of the shrine, cross legged, pack of scraps on his back, and quietly makes an offering to his little cat demon friend, in hopes that sweet tsukasa might come out to chat. ]

CLOSES EYES

[stressweets]

[ sushi is super-effective against the sweet tsukasa, and he's at least doing mildly better than he has in the past two weeks-ish; he's less injured, though his leg remains in not terribly great shape. he hobbles to xie lian's side immediately, tail raised as soon as he sees him. ]

Xie Lianyan-san~! [ ♪ ah.... food, ] ...Have you been well? I'm sorry I haven't visited lately.

post divine message

[stressweets]

[ ...Well, it wasn't really a happy message, was it. All this time they've been wondering if the gods were going to give them direction, and the second they spoke -

it was to give them a time limit and two choices. Tsukasa's been thinking on it for a while, what to do, what they can do, and it's well into the night before he sneaks away from the Kumou Shrine to make some visits. Beau'll be easy to convince he knows, just asking if she'd go to the new little shrine at the river and wait for him. Ookurikara, he knows, will be harder, so he transforms into his poor little kitty shape and begs, all meows and nyaas, if he'll go to the new little shrine at the river and wait for him.

He'll let both of them know it's just for the three of them to meet up. Even if it's dangerous, this is something he wants them all to talk over together. He has some thoughts he'd like to share.

Hopefully they both agree because the premise of this entire thread relies on it—

Tsukasa'll be sitting beside the shrine regardless, still quick for a somewhat limpy cat. (It's because he knows all the secret ways to get to places.) He's human-shaped save for the cat ears and tail, the latter which he strokes gently as he awaits his two companions, his ears perked to catch their footfalls. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ coming out to meet the other two so soon after the gods' announcement seems like a fool's errand. with hunters already after them, it's too much of a risk, making themselves a bigger target. ookurikara would be well within his rights to tell them both to leave him out of whatever plans they might be concocting, if not for his own sake, then for his partner's.

unfortunately for him, saying no to a cat is already a challenge, and seeing one crying at his doorstep is... well, unbearable, even if he knows it's really just tsukasa. so he goes to the shrine as requested, though not empty-handed. at his side is a sword, currently sheathed, and kara has dropped the veneer of a complacent chef for the one of a mercenary expecting an attack at any moment.

there are no greetings to offer the others. he simply shows up, sword in hand, and waits for tsukasa to say his piece. ]
