[OPEN] Let's experiment on the experiment...ers.

WHO: Tsuruno Yui ([personal profile] fanstheflames), ([personal profile] strongroots), and YOU.
WHAT: Spreading word about the experiment
WHERE: Around the City! Outside your apartment, in your face-- But also a portion of it at the Welcome Diner
WHEN: From early October to before the City event on the 19th!
WARNINGS: None!

[ PROMPT 1: FOR BUMPING INTO, BE BUMPED INTO! ]

There's a pair on a mission--and hopefully, a pair capable of wrangling some of their friends to join in on sharing out some fliers they've made for an experiment. But as it is, you may meet this pair when they knock at the door of where you're staying, or while you're out on the streets! Each with a friendly face, from the boy's calm nod and "Hey--you got a minute?" or the girl's [description here].

Or you've escaped meeting them in person, but found their flier slipped under the door of where you're staying. And on it reads...

PLEASE READ!
A group of us want to hold an experiment on how the city will react if we don't go to a new location immediately or any event it runs. The newsletter they gave out mentioned a Halloween party, and the report in the office also mentioned a test running from the 19th to 31st of October.

What happens if we run our own party in this timeframe? What happens if we don't take part in their experiments? We should test how they react.

Don't talk about this on the network. Come to the Welcome Diner if you want to find out more. We want to hold a meeting with everyone about this plan on the 14th at the diner.

Let's see how willing they are to act.

If you come to the Welcome Diner, Robby Keene and Tsuruno Yui can be found, especially during the first week and a half of the month; others, too, with the activity taking place there. But the pair are usually behind the counter, or Robby.

Take any of the above locations -- outside your character's apartment, on the streets, or the Welcome Diner -- as a place to bump into them, or to be bumped into.


[ OPTION 2: THE ARRANGED MEETING ]


[ OOC: Hi this is an IC post on the subject of experimenting with city events. Both Robby and Tsuruno can talk with your character, or if you would prefer one or the other, make a note of it in the subject! ]

Midnight... Midnight...?

[ Her eyebrows furrow lightly, as though she's trying to remember something. ]

Oh! Daan-san's friend!

[ !!! Midnight's expression drops into no little surprise. Delighted surprise. ]

Well, yes. Is that what he called me? His friend? Or is that simply an impression you have of our dynamic?

It's not simply, I've got full faith in my perceptiveness!!

[ So it's. An impression. ]

He said you did some stupid things for his sake. I thought if I ever met you, I wanted to thank you for being stupid.

[ A beat. ]

Ah, wait, I mean in a good way--

[ ... An impression, indeed. Well, at least it seems like her heart's in the right place.

Midnight barks a laugh. Very fangy, very amused. ]


I must say, I never thought I'd be thanked for my efforts at all, so the thought itself is well appreciated. I've been called much more unflattering things for much more unflattering reasons, I assure you.
fanstheflames: (Watched it pour as I touched your face)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-16 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, me too!

[ BRIGHTLY. Hello?? ]

But he's really bad at valuing himself, so I'm glad he has people who are making him rethink that.
unrequite: (10)

[personal profile] unrequite 2023-10-17 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Midnight laughs again, shaking his head. Oh, no... To be that young and that aware. ]

I'm sure you do your part as well. If someone as charming and bright as you are stays around him to make sure his head's on straight, he'll surely come around in the end.
fanstheflames: (Colorful charade)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, I'm definitely counting myself as "people."

[ straightforwardly. ]

But it's nice to have back-up, you know?
unrequite: (Default)

[personal profile] unrequite 2023-10-17 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
In the case that you have plans to brighten the good doctor's day, of course.

[ A light pause. ]

In the case you do — or even if you don't — please consider me a part of your plans. I would like to see that man smile at least once before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
fanstheflames: (That body is a masterpiece)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-17 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sure thing! He's gotten better at hugs lately.

[ Though is it because Tsuruno is a teenage girl without a legitimate adult guardian and not a sexy sappy vampire man-- ]

[personal profile] unrequite 2023-10-17 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Midnight's mouth drops open a little in delight. Oh, this girl is a treasure. ]

Really? Didn't take him for the hugging type, certainly, but I'm glad he's getting used to the exercise. Everyone needs a nice hug every now and then, and doctors are no exception to the rule.
fanstheflames: (Just like moon heats up the night)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-17 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
They probably need it more than most people, honestly.

[ Daan especially, in her esteemed opinion. ]
unrequite: (01)

[personal profile] unrequite 2023-10-17 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Very true. I used to live in a medical facility, and the doctors were very kind, but you could see how terribly serious they had to be all the time. Really no way to live. One must have fun every now and then.
fanstheflames: (I'm burnin')

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-17 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Lived in a medical facility?

[ She blinks up at him. ]

Are you doing okay out of one?
unrequite: (10)

[personal profile] unrequite 2023-10-18 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, certainly. Haven't lost any limbs yet, have I?

[ He winks. Truthfully, he doesn't know how long he'll be fine, but he isn't dead yet! ]

Besides, Daan is a fine doctor. That's how we know each other, you know. Figured that I needed one in the interim.
fanstheflames: (I kick that ceiling)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-18 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you guys are looking out for each other, then! And that you're doing better.

[ Because! Surely! Surely he's doing just swell!! ]
unrequite: (19)

[personal profile] unrequite 2023-10-18 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ain't nothing ever gonna happen to good ol' Uncle Midnight 👍 ]

Same to you. Ah... I would like to ask how long you've been acquainted with my good doctor and so on, but I shouldn't like to derail the conversation. Come by the bar at the party, though, and I'll have a drink ready for you.
fanstheflames: (So them boys want more)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-10-18 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm underage but I'll come say hi anyway.

[ But she'll offer him a grin. Yes, this surely is a man she won't have to give a shovel talk in the future. ]

[ Midnight tuts. ]

You look barely old enough to say your own name, love. I wouldn't give you alcohol for another fifty years, had I the choice.

[ ... He's teasing. But also, please don't put him in the ground, he's very specifically trying to stay civil around his precious doctor... ]
