❝ there are some things, ❞ ren snaps, ❝ that you aren’t supposed to know about your boss, sho. ❞

were he ever displeased with sho in the past, this certainly would rank as tenfold. quickly snatches up the fallen photo, stuffing it back into his wallet. undeniably of his own stock, both in the closeness of the shared image and the inability to think quick enough to lie. he might keep kyosuke entirely private, but it is another thing to deny him all together. ren will never say the boy does not belong to him ( and he, in turn, to the boy ) . if anything, it’s to keep kyosuke separate from this life / this person that calls himself ren when, at home, he’s yori and dad. ren doesn’t fit in the walls of their two-bedroom apartment, and it’ll stay that way. until now, ren had never considered anyone might find out. of course it would be him.

ren sighs, looking up from his seat to the young man in front of him. had interviewed well, coming in with a high recommendation from a young host he had recently acquired nine months prior. still new, a little unseasoned, but a natural at heart. a people pleaser. that’s what ren needs. obedient workers with the desire to make customers feel as close to the real deal / the classic experience as the man above him demands. sets the resume down, hoping to find something that perhaps might make him change his mind. no, on paper, sho seems just fine. what is it about him that i don’t like? more, what is it about that he does like ??

okay, so ren can admit off the cuff that sho is undeniably attractive. the type to naturally get attention without even trying, and probably described as the sort that “lights up a room” when speaking of his personage. ren frowns.

edit for tomo: the silent trainer --> as portrayed by @genkigang, tomo utilizes their connection with their pokemon to create a harmonious balance. with power and grace, tomo is more defensive than offensive, and strikes when the iron is hot. tomo’s strategy is to wait for their opponent and then attack, often misunderstood as an affective trainer. quite the opposite, tomo merely waits to find the weakness in their opponent before striking swiftly with precise accuracy. no move is wasted.

for @genkigang feat. maneki the lucky / beckoning cat yokai

someone is really dead. sugawara is really dead. like, he actually died. his body is covered in a thin, white sheet as ren confirms his identity with in his remorse with a serious tone. his face is very somber, and very stern. ren attempts to makes eye contact with his fellow hosts as they shuffle about, are questioned by police, and subsequently look to him for guidance. 

❝ yes, sugawara aoto is his name. yes, i’m sure. i can show you his file. there’s a picture in there. i have files on all my employees, past and present. i have resumes for those i’m interested to hire. why does that matter? 

oh. i see. well, he’s been my employee for the last four years. do i what? no, i don’t think he had any known enemies. actually, he was very well liked, and was always on time. he was a favorite. if you’re not familiar, he was known as the romantic type. he had a way of making people feel very seen, and very loved. ❞ he’ll be missed, and sorely so. ❝ that’s why i think it’s unlikely he would have any enemies. he made a good name for himself here, and so a good name for shining! as a company. he was one of our main faces. i guess that could be a reason. if so, that’s a pretty terrible one. ❞

crosses his arms, indicating he’s done with being questioned for now. while everything is presumed a hair guilty, they seem primarily innocent given the circumstances up to this point. this isn’t as a random as it appears, though the victims usually are. hosts / hostesses have been being murdered in all sorts of creative ways, though the latest trend has been poisoning them. ren had been so thoroughly careful, and thus clearly the burden rests over his shoulders. he might not have drugged the drink, but he let it be poured into sugawara’s cup, and let him drink it. 

in this staunch reality, he is pulled aside by a man in a trench coat jacket and what ren can neither decipher as being for sure a trilby or a fedora ( what difference does it fucking make anyways ) , and attempts to step back. is then encouraged to his office with the promise that L is involved. as in the L ; the great detective?? what could only be an equivalent to the modern sherlock holmes, ren has a hard time believing this seemingly shady figure. is shown proof, a laptop, and is encouraged again to follow. he does, numb to this situation now, and his curiosity has ren closing the door behind him. 

the laptop laid on his desk is purposefully centered, opened to produce a blank screen until —— there it is. L. so he is real. all this time, there had been doubts. no one had ever seen him, really talked to him, but there were rumors that people had. claims that he was real and that i had talked to him, you have to believe me! he reached out! and all other ilks of human gossip.

takes a seat, facing the screen awkwardly, and feeling very bare in front of something that can see him where he cannot see it. opens his mouth to speak, but nothing emerges, and he closes his mouth shut stupidly. what should i say? / @genkigang​
