—— Bumping into others often was bound to happen with the limited amount of space allowed here. This was not like an expansive town where he could walk for miles if he so desired: confinement popped up in his mind as the appropriate word for this situation.

It was best to make the most of it. Investigation… proved unfruitful– or at least, it provided fruit that was dubious– cryptic.

❝ It is a pleasant stroke of fate to see you again, Matsubayashi-sama. ❞

Courteous greeting first, answers second.

❝ Oh, do not worry yourself with me. My plan was to not eat and save the food for those hungrier than I after they awake. ❞

An answer that does not quite bluntly state itself well, merely aiming to strike down one possibility and nothing else.

“As with you.”

As short as that response was, Katsunosuke’s bright demeanor seems to falter just a bit in response to Usami’s second response-- mostly out of concern at well, everything about it. 

“Goodness-- while that is a noble cause, you should eat at some point. After all, it is not wise to starve oneself at all, no matter what. I believe there’s enough food to go around for a while, after all.”

“I believe he’s sayin’ he’s like a time traveler ‘r somethin’“

“Yeah, that’s totally what I meant. It’s not like time travel would totally fuck up the way humanity’s concept of time would change, or whatever. It’s not like you’d all know what time travel was, as it’d undoubtedly change practically all humanity’s lifestyle and behaviour. Right. That’s way more likely than the possibility that I just kinda stated that time is an illusion. You got me. Code cracked.”

“...Goodness.”

As he always does, Katsunosuke was too busy being distracted with other things to notice that someone had approached him until it was too late. At the sound of Seiki’s voice, they perk up with some a slight bit of curiosity and--

“Oh...!”

What a pleasant surprise. There’s a light blush that decorates his cheeks at the compliment, as he looks absolutely sheepish. If there was one thing he didn’t expect, it was to be complimented right off the start. How nice! 

“You flatter me...! But ah, well, how could I say no to an idea of switching outfits. That sounds wonderful. I am afraid though that I could never pull your outfit off as well as you do-- so please do forgive me in advance.”

A small, but soft laugh follows after the end of his sentence.

“My name is Matsubayashi Katsunosuke, third grandson to the Matsuba-ryu's Iemoto. Ikebana artist, to be general about it... but it is quite a pleasure to officially meet you, Seiki Chiba.”

There’s a brief, but notable pause that lingers at the end of his sentence before he continues.

“I... have heard of you, actually-- I am quite pleased to know that you look as stunnin’ as the rumors speak of.”

“Ah-- but I am getting carried away. Pardon me, I am just a little excited about meeting you. It is quite ghoulish though, I must admit. While there could be worse conditions, these are... well, still unfavorable ones in the end. I look forwards to going home-- surely we will not be staying in this place for long, hm?”

There was a surprising amount of students wearing kimono in this gathering; in this day and age, most Japanese teenagers didn’t commit to the traditional fashion any more, which was a real shame because everyone here wearing it looked absolutely fabulous.

There was one person in particular, who wore a robe and yet had blond hair with a highlight in it, that caught their eye. Such a magnificent blend of old and new, just like their own personal taste. And even red, too!

Seiki approached them, which wasn’t something Seiki often did, and gave a short dip of their head.

“Hello there. Might I just congratulate you on your stunning fashion sense? Might we be able to swap clothes some time?”

“Oh, where are my manners? I am Seiki Chiba, tea ceremony host. I do not suppose you have any opinion on this establishment? Rather ghoulish, is it not? I look forward to warming my feet by the heater when we return home.”

In his 18 years of living, Matsubayashi Katsunosuke never would have thought that he would struggle with the most simplest of tasks: opening a soup can. Quite unfortunate, really, as he was quite in the mood to sip on something while finding things to entertain him for the time being.

When someone walks into the area, Katsunosuke looks up from intently staring at the can of soup in his hand– and lightly up slightly when he finds that it’s a familiar face.

Oh, he has to say hello, at least.

“Salutations, Usami-shi! Are you here to eat somethin’, or are you just strollin’ along?”

There were things that Katsunosuke had a talent for. Some of them included other art-related things, such as calligraphy. Hell, he even dabbled in performing arts, and took a fancy to choreography and singing. 

Unfortunately, for people, he also has a habit of making his presence rather undetectable until it’s too late. Having a 5'11" boy sneak up on you purely by accident isn’t always the best first impression to have.

Luckily, this wasn’t the first time this person has met Katsunosuke.

(…Luckily? It’s still cursed either way.)

He slinks right into the area where Hansuke was loitering around, leaving footsteps as quiet as a mouse on a calm, clear night. Stopping at a good distance away, he begins to speak, though in a slow, but clearly warm tone.

“…Hisamatsu-shi. Child, may I have your attention?”

“Ah, pardon the inconvenience, but do you happen to still have my handkerchief on you? I would like to have it back if you do not mind– or are you still usin’ it?”

He says, as if he hadn’t just appeared out of nowhere for Hansuke.

There weren’t a lot of rooms to wander in, but Katsunosuke made an attempt– but within the first few minutes he was already bored out of his mind. Usually, the stuff that he liked to do was to run around and feel the wind in the air, with the grass crunching underneath the soles of his feet–

Alas, he was stuck.

So he settled to approach someone who seemed to be alone, and give them his warmest smile to try and strike a conversation with them. After all, it would be better than to loiter around aimlessly, bored out of his mind.

Unfortunately, there’s always that nasty habit of making his presence rather… unnoticeable until it was too late. 

“Greetin’s!” He waves a hand. “How are you farin’ at this time? I am sure that the whole… well, situation must be dreadfully frightenin’, is it not?”

Thanks, Katsunosuke.

犬神 || katsunosuke || 0 - 1 || (ab)normal days || re: prologue start

An unfamiliar place.

When Katsunosuke came to his senses, he immediately jumped from the floor as he frantically starts patting out his clothing, breathing quickened, and his pulse skyrocketing. He wasn’t a person to go ahead and feel terrified– negative emotions were always such a strain on his mind– but right now, he wasn’t having any of it. Waking up in an unfamiliar place?

Something went wrong. And he didn’t like it at all.

(Ah, these were custom made– to think that he would have fallen asleep in some place with these on… for shame! For shame–)

When he saw a glint of something from the corner of his eye, he quickly finishes up his frantic patting before cautiously approaching the object, staring down at it with a rather… sad expression, most noticable with how their brows furrowed, and their mouth parting just slightly to let out a small ‘oh.

“… Ahh, let’s hope I will not have to use these for an alternative purpose..”

He murmurs, before slowly picking the object up– almost dropping it when there’s a click from a door. Somehow, that felt like his life was about to flash before his eyes– but that’s silly. 

When he sees other people– of course, , his mood instantly lights up. It was good that he wasn’t alone– but… well, it wasn’t all that great to be stuck in this unfamiliar place. Though, a part of him did appreciate the presence of company regardless.

There’s a moment where he pauses for a bit, placing a hand on his chin as if he was deciding what to do.

But then he snaps his fingers together.

“…Well, I suppose it would be best to er… settle in. Can’t continue to be hung-up about… well, being kidnapped.”

After all, there was no way he’d actually face danger. Not him, oh no.

(Right?)

A B C?

A) Why are you excited about this character?

personally i love katsunosuke’s concept to death. his personality might not be to my tastes in all honesty (i struggle on rping extremely polite and altruistic characters), but his character concept is something that i’m actually very proud and excited for people to find out.

i’m also excited since i’d like to see how he deal with connections outside of his village. he doesn’t like to be personal and isn’t eager to bond with people who he isn’t familiar with at all or has absolutely 0 connection to him, so it’ll be interesting.

B) What inspired you to create them?

this wave was prompted by a vocaloid song, but his original wave was because he was a matching character with a few other characters for an enstars oc group! he’s changed too much to the point where i don’t really count katsunosuke as the same matching character that his wave 1 was. 

he’s supposed to resemble the warrior class in an rpg game, and was originally created to be... well, kind of like a leader. shin (his wave 1′s name) was an energetic person who likes to help out around the school. he’s also less traditional than katsunosuke.

i do keep stuff from his wave 1 that i incorporate into katsunosuke’s character, but yeah. that’s how he came into fruition.

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

for his first wave, yes. however for katsunosuke himself, not really. i designed him to be somewhat akin to an oc that just has the shsl title as a label that can be easily removed if needed. not that i would, but y’know.

25 + 38

25. What are their thoughts on marriage?

marriage, to katsunosuke, is a special event that should be cherished. he’s extremely big on viewing marriage as important, as he assumes that he’ll have to get married as it’s his family’s wish for him to do so. it’s a happy thing that he’d be willing to do unless his partner doesn’t want one.

...though he’d love to have one. all of the marriages he’s seen are happy and full of joy, so he’d like to experience happiness like that one day in his life.

personally, for katsunosuke, he’s not as much of an idealist as i might make him out to be. post marriage he does acknowledge that it could possibly not work out in the end, so he doesn’t cling onto the idea that marriage is reserved for the person that he’d spend his life with until the end.

though, that idea is something that he’d like in life. even if he tries to go ahead and think in a realistic sense for this topic. 

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

ohh, that’s interesting. he revisits memories quite frequently regardless of if they’re good or bad, so choosing the one that he revisits the most is a little hard.

...i guess that would have to go to the memory of being introduced to a computer by his former arranged partner. he thinks about it a lot because he wonders about how people enjoy sitting down and going onto the computer for hours. there’s also personal reasons but let’s save that for the game.

a funner one that he also revisits a lot is going to a festival in tokyo with his two friends. life in his village and tokyo is really different so it was quite an overwhelming experience even if he’s been... on the main island many times. he thinks fondly of the memory and wishes he could go back to those days.
