A muse resurrected

[prince_of_detectives]

I'm flattered that you saw fit to bring me back... but I'd feel a lot more flattered if it wasn't just to use me as a birthday present for Kanji-Kun. I understand that you have certain... feelings about the two of us, but he's never exactly opened up to me in that regard. I suspect he would prefer someone a bit more feminine.

Now to more important matters, I'd very much prefer if you would put me into a game rather than simply leaving me in the recess of your mind once you've had your fun. Preferably something where I could put my wits to the test rather than some mindless game of sex and survival. genessia for example, or perhaps thewake would be acceptable? Several of my friends and colleagues have been in these places before, and the pace is likely something even you can keep up with, with your limited attention span.

I would also like to express that I do not appreciate your choice in icons either. Several are entirely inappropriate, and do a poor job of expressing my true nature. If you ever intend to put me into a game rather than bumming around in memes and museboxes, I insist that you find some that are a bit more work appropriate.

Oh, hey there Naoto-kun! You know, talking about your icons just made me want to check them. Most of them are fine, but I did notice one that was pretty saucy. I never knew you had it in you!

[prince_of_detectives]

I-I don't have anything in me!

[Naoto... that just makes it sound so much worse. Forgive her Rise, you may have frazzled her just a little.]

I'm just... relieved my mun removed some of the more 'saucy' icons.

[Which can still be found as full size images on her F-List]

Sometimes I worry my mun planned to bring me back just for the sake of treating me like some sort of... harlot!

[Did I mention she's still feeling frazzled? She is so embarrassed that Rise saw anything resembling nsfw content from her.]

[maru_kyutie]

[Don't worry, Rise lives to frazzle people!]

Well, I guess I should consider myself lucky that sex games aren't really my mun's thing. Mostly he seems to like throwing me at those "Phantom Thieves."

[prince_of_detectives]

Actually they're not usually my mun's thing either... it seems today is Kanji's birthday and I was supposed to be the birthday present.

[As well as the cake.]

Hmm... I think I may have also had an interaction with one of these thieves.

[maru_kyutie]

Naoto-kun... You know your mun linked the whole cake thing, right? And that "F-list" where the rest of the pictures were? Well, they didn't link that one, but they did mention it.

...

.......

[Um... I think she may feel slightly betrayed by me. Her f-list is in her profile btw.]

2/2

[prince_of_detectives]

Rise... Tell everyone it was nice knowing them. I'm going to go hide in the mountains and never return now.

[maru_kyutie]

C'mon Naoto-kun, it's not that bad. Just because I know every single one of your kinks now doesn't mean... Okay, maybe it is that bad.

Still, I promise I won't bring up any you feel legitimately uncomfortable with.

[foolishjustice]

Ah, m-my condolences about...your mun's apparent priorities. You truly are due more respect.

[Wow he is bright red. Is it possible to die of blush?]

[prince_of_detectives]

I... thank you. Um... would you please try to stop thinking those sorts of things?

[Because clearly there's only reason he could be blushing so red, and it's because he must be thinking about the one thing she was hoping people wouldn't focus on. Sure it was one of her major complaints, but this was so embarrassing!]

I assure you, they do not reflect my nature as a person.

[foolishjustice]

[He chokes a bit at that, looking actually kind of distressed.]

I-I would never view you in such a crude manner, even if you weren't someone I look up to! M-my mun just insisted on looking and...unfortunately, I'm prone to blushing easily, s-so...

[prince_of_detectives]

I see... then I won't hold it against you, and I'd like to apologize for getting us off to such an awkward and embarrassing start. I don't know why I'm someone that you look up to, but hopefully it's for my work as a detective.

[And not for her mun's scandalous choice in icons.]

Even though it seems you are already aware of who I am, I'll introduce myself simply because good manners dictate giving your own name before asking someone for theirs. I am Naoto Shirogane, what is your name?

[foolishjustice]

My name is Goro Akechi, I'm...

[He clears his throat, rubbing at his face to try to force the blush down. Unfortunately, it doesn't help that meeting his inspiration is enough to make him nervous all on its own.]

I'm actually a detective, as well. I, ah...believe I'm from roughly five years after you.

[prince_of_detectives]

Interesting... I'd heard it was possible to meet people from different points in history and even the future, but I had yet to meet anyone directly related to my own future. It might be a tad dangerous to ask you about my own accomplishments if it would disrupt the space/time continuum, but if we operate on the theory of parallel universes and alternate timelines we should be able to discuss anything freely.

[Hopefully she's not rambling too much.]

I'm curious, what is it about me that made me an inspiration to you? I have solved many cases, but I'm not certain if there are any in my career that are particularly noteworthy other than the serial murder case in Inaba which I had a great deal of help with. I am one of the youngest people to ever become a detective, so perhaps you are a fellow prodigy?

[foolishjustice]

My own experiences in games actually rely upon the existence of parallel universes. I know multiple versions of a...friend of mine from alternate timelines, both of whom are from different points in time.

As for...why you inspired me, it's...the fact that you proved that being young doesn't mean I have to be helpless and reliant on my elders. I saw injustice and veiled corruption constantly as a child, but the adults around me cared more for keeping the facade of peace than they did about uncovering the truth. Seeing you out there, striving for justice despite still being a teenager yourself taught me that I didn't have to wait for adulthood to make a difference. I began my career at fifteen, and now the media is trying to call me your successor as the Detective Prince. Though...I personally think that's a little much.

[beguiledcard]

[ Cough. ]

I can't say the priorities of my player are much better.

That aside, Genessia was a fun place to be. I wasn't there for very long, but I did meet some really interesting people.

[prince_of_detectives]

PFFFFT!!

[Aaaand there goes that fresh cup of coffee.]

Your mun is even worse than Rise!

[If you need to ask how bad Rise is, just look at the 69 comment long thread or so. Naoto takes a deep breath, trying her best to steady her nerves.]

I think at this point it'll be unlikely that I'll ever make it there as much as I'd like to go. My mun seems far too content with keeping me confined to muse boxes and memes, and their other muses will likely overtake my allotted time in a week or two. I know my mun, and they are incredibly fickle.

[... Ouch!]

[beguiledcard]

[ His lips might be twitching a little, one hand covering his mouth as he clears his throat!!! ]

I, ah... Can't say I ever expected that of Kujikawa-san. [ A-ANYWAY ] But, then, I've never been the type to look too hard into the lives of people I only ever see on a screen or on posters.

[ Giving her a small smile now. ]

Anyway, for what it's worth, I think you're someone who definitely deserves more than a brief time in the spotlight. And maybe icons that aren't [ vague... gesture...????? (and he might be a little pink...) ] some of what your mun uploaded, there.

[ ...

Akira, plz. ]

[prince_of_detectives]

[Welp... Naoto's embarrassment went from about an 8 on 1 to 10 to about a 90]

Stop... please just... stop.

[She's seen the icons, she knows how risque and over the top and blatant they are. Well... they could be worse, and there's only like... three or four that are cringe worthy... but that's still about 10%.]

I appreciate the... thought, but let's keep the discussion away from my mun's choice in icons.

[Deep breath... and exhale.]

As for Rise, she's only that way with her closest friends.

[Apart for that strip tease thing, but that wasn't actually her, her.]

[hairpincurves]

At... least the icon situation could be worse...?

It seems as though I'm getting all the Persona cast members tonight

[prince_of_detectives]

Well the paid account was a bit of a compromise on my demands. I wanted more expressive icons that were more true to myself, but I still have to put up with smut icons in the off chance anything ever does happen. I assure you, nothing has happened and it's likely to stay that way.

[At least in public.]

Naoto's my favorite so I couldn't stay away :3c

[hairpincurves]

Small mercies, I guess. I guess luck favors the prepared, but I don't figure this is the sort of situation that applies to...

It's a shame I'm going to sleep in like three minutes (which I said an hour ago)

[prince_of_detectives]

...

Ugh... I think this is the sort of situation I'd prefer to be woefully unprepared for.

ajlskdfj yeah go sleep!!

[hairpincurves]

... You won't hear me arguing that one.

[Cough.]

But taaaaags

[prince_of_detectives]

You know... you bear a striking resemblance to someone I've seen before.
