emukasa detective au rambles part 2?

(self indulgent word vomit, not recommended to read)

it's one of those nights where i need somewhere to dump my au. what's a linear, consistent plot? (sorry i like writing in scrambled fragments and somehow piecing the timeline together). this is just the introduction. nothing interesting happens. dont bother.

i wrote about emukasa basic profiles in another post i hope. for job context, emu is a lady from a rich, noble family (unemployed). tsukasa is a detective currently working independently under a small firm (shiraishi's). his only other co-workers are an and akito. rui is an inspector that works at a professional agency "arc" (haha get it "arcland".. no? okay.), which functions as the "scotland yard" of this universe. tsukasa used to work with rui at "arc", but that's not too relevant right now.. just needed to add why rui and tsukasa know each other (i dont think anyone is even mentioned in the beginning aside from emukasa). they all have backstories and such but idk im not dumping that here rn. the entire prsk cast is also in this story with roles, but maybe profile dump another time. i still have to write proper detailed profiles for emukasa too.

as for setting: no strong historical accuracy, but its like 1920s to 1930s era in a fictional world that is supposed to be earth but not 100% true so that i dont have to care about world history and realism. yay. aesthetic wise, very sherlock holmes esque if ykyk.

their initial encounter began after emu's precious jewel was stolen by a mysterious phantom thief, right from her estate. this rose quartz was a special gem to her, as it was the last thing her grandpa gifted her before he passed away. she was determined to get it back no matter what. she couldn't do it alone though, so she sought out a detective. she recalled an amazing detective she heard about from her brothers, someone from "arc" that helped solved an "impossible" case for them: tsukasa tenma. when she arrived at arc, she discovered that he was unfortunately no longer working there... but there was a gut feeling that she had to consult HIM specifically for this case... so she asked around and fortunately discovered that he's still an active detective, just under a different agency.

insert the shoujo love bubbles when their eyes met for the first time. anyways, tsukasa was initially surprised at how a high standing noble like emu decided to approach him, a small, "humble" (/s) detective. he was hesitant to take this case despite piquing his interest (his love for the strange and "impossible" cases) since he hasnt taken a large case of this size in a long time. however, with some sweet talk from emu ("but youre the AMAZING star detective right?" *sparkly eyes*), he agreed to take the case. before they start, he needed to finish the other case he took today: a missing dog. to his shock, emu decides to help him solve it ("no, you really don't have to-" "I'D LOVE TO HELP!! :D"). emu's now dragged into the case, much to tsukasa's initial annoyance ("i don't need help. i am a star detective!")

the case was relatively simple: ms. hanasato needed to find her beloved samoyed dog "samo-chan". this dog ran off from her yesterday and she has been distraught since. there were very few clues to work with: a broken leash, the general area where minori lived, and the last location he was seen (her house, with an opened front door). with some brainstorming and deduction together (which went well.. tsukasa and emu built off of each other's ideas fluidly), emu came to a seemingly wild conclusion ("what if he's over here?" *points to a completely different section of the map*). tsukasa had his doubts ("wait, wouldnt it make more sense to search the general area of her residence first?!"), but decided to go along with her (he had no choice). to his surprise and emu's delight, samo-chan was found in an entirely different part of town at the deli.

with a happy owner and a lost dog returned, they can now start the case. they mutually agreed to work together to solve emu's case, after their surprisingly successful teamwork today (*insert tackle hug here*). a new partnership formed today!! a formidable bond! the start of their mutual pining!!

sorry beginning of the story is slow/generic, but i needed a logical way for them to meet and for exposition purposes (this is where you're supposed to learn about the characters and setting and such if this were formatted into a proper storyline). of course their first interactions included, but not limited to, silly banter, witty lines, straight man and wise guy dynamic, and their fun personalities displayed. it's like emukasa's first encounter in main story (sort of) combined with how holmes/watson's first encounter went. its just emukasa's dynamic but in a detective partnership!!! if i had the energy to write the dialogue it would be more obvious.

detective skill stuff:

tsukasa has a more conventional (but somewhat unconventional in the eyes of a normal person) way of solving things than emu. he has great deduction, strong analysis, and deep/vast knowledge. he's very observant of the world around him and notices the small things (about people, settings, etc) that are often not considered. his connections with the community from his many cases and networking are really helpful when he needs resources, information, etc. there are perks to being an outgoing, friendly talkative, bold, [whatever extrovert words i can insert] person. when needed, he's amazing at acting and disguises (in another universe, he would be a star...). despite being a talented detective with a strong skillset, tsukasa isnt perfect and has his weaknesses (sometimes rash, letting his emotions take over logic, etc).

emu's detective style is highly inspired by this sherlock holmes quote: "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". its based on her great imagination, and how creative she is. emu basically fills in the gaps that tsukasa tends to overlook and notices what tsukasa is unable to see. this also leads to some wild/crazy ideas and guesses... her special skill is her emotional intelligence, such as being able to see through people's lies when it comes to questioning. great eyesight and hearing too. she has strong physical skills, which is useful in most cases!... she is also the one who wields the gun in most situations.

their first impressions of each other after this dog case:

tsukasa (about emu): thought she's crazy, but not to be underestimated and has great potential (impressed). found some annoyance with her "emu language" and her strong personality. currently wondering if he made a mistake taking this case, fearful for what his future with her holds (LOL). he's excited to finally take an interesting case again though, with an interesting partner.

(spoiler: he takes longer to fall for emu, but he certainly fell harder).

emu (about tsukasa): absolutely smitten... he was amazing as a detective and it was obvious that he had lots of experience to get to his skill level. somewhat strange and eccentric but he was entertaining for sure. she hasnt had this much fun in a long time, which was a nice change to her comfortable, predictable life. she was grateful that he was the reason why she was able to smile today after being upset over her missing jewel. she couldnt wait to see him again!!

(love at first sight. it was over as soon as she walked in that door).

THE FUN PART IS THE REAL CASE!!! they also get dragged into side cases along the way (unintentionally. what amazing luck /s). theres the romance sideplot: slowburn as the case progresses. ALL OF THIS IS... in my head. when will i get the chance to write it out? in the future, but im known to lack motivation unless its a random burst of energy at 3 AM like right now.

sorry i hope no one read all of this because its pure, unformatted word garbage.

jes has au rambles

detective emukasa au because i think the holmes/watson esque dynamic is very fun for them. “wow, you’re just like sherlock homeless!” “ITS HOLMES!!!” it is not recommended to read this im self indulgent.

the main case of the au is emu’s precious jewel (the brooch she wears in her sekai jewelry box art) mysteriously disappearing. emu seeks out help, and decides to recruit the “star detective” (tsukasa) to help her find it. they both end up working together to find it, and as they uncover the truth, they become the best detective duo.. :,) tsukasa is one of the town’s best detectives. he used to be affiliated with an elite crime agency, but is now mostly working independently under a smaller, friendlier agency (shiraishi’s agency). he’s an eccentric and confident guy, who’s very proud of his craft and skill as a detective. he’s on very good terms with most people, and has lots of connections due to his previous cases. he has a strong passion for solving interesting cases, and had this dream of becoming a detective ever since he was younger. not going to get into details about his character but he’s somewhat similar to sherlock holmes, especially his humor and dramatics, and his denseness when it comes to love. he even has the amazing acting skills like holmes! also he’s good at piano. not relevant, but it’s like holmes being good at violin. (also that one scene of holmes playing violin for watson to fall asleep.. think about that but tsukasa’s playing piano for emu..)

emu would be tsukasa’s loyal, devoted, caring, partner. she also likes to write about their adventures, just like watson, unlike watson in the acd series, emu plays a stronger role with the actual case as she helps tsukasa solve them. emu does not have experience as a detective, but her intelligence, particularly her strong emotional perception, is a very useful skill when conducting investigations by interrogations. she believes in the impossible, which is a good trait when it comes to solving cases that don’t seem logical. she comes from the richest family in town, so you could imagine tsukasa’s surprise when she approaches him one day for help with a case. her “genki” personality throws tsukasa off, but he eventually warms up to her..

just like watson, emu is tsukasa’s greatest admirer. she constantly is amazed by his feats, and compliments them often. she finds it incredible how great tsukasa’s deductive skills are. tsukasa enjoys the praise, just like holmes. she also has strong faith and loyalty, always by his side no matter what happens or what anyone thinks about him. whatever tsukasa lacks, emu makes up for. she is basically the perfect partner for tsukasa. her days have been relatively normal and ordinary until she got dragged into thee cases with tsukasa, and she has been happily enjoying the exciting, unpredictable life since. she feels like she’s been smiling and laughing a lot more often because of him.

holmes needs watson. tsukasa doesn’t take emu for granted, always wanting her by his side for everything he does. he stands up for her whenever someone speaks poorly of emu. (like holmes saying “if you’re going to say something, say it to both of us”) he proudly introduces emu as his amazing partner, and is happy whenever emu makes progress . he makes sure that emu understands just how important she is to him and how valuable her contributions are. without her, he is lost. (when she is too busy to help him, he is sad and mopes like a loser. holmes-core.) emu was one of the first people to truly appreciate him and recognize his potential, when everyone else thought of him as ridiculous.

the banter between the two is silly. they tend to disagree about stupid stuff but whatever. tsukasa corrects emu on silly things (like their usual dynamic, straight man and wise guy type). even if they tend to argue, it’s obvious that they both care deeply for each other and get along very well. they both are crazily energetic and match each other’s energy. they are able to build off of each other’s ideas in discussions to solve things together very efficiently (like holmes/watson).

they get into lots of antics. sometimes it gets risky, but they have strong mutual trust and go along with each others’ plans despite being dangerous. (just like emukasa in the actual prsk series). emu is the one who always has to bring the revolver btw. tsukasa makes her do it, just like holmes. (“Watson, bring the gun.”) sorry i just thought it was funny that emu’s the one taking action. is everything that they do legal? not exactly!!.. but yk holmes and watson do like to break the law willingly too! (“you don’t mind breaking the law?” “not in the least.”) they also have a lot of fun! its not always a serious business while pursue the cases. they do everything together, basically inseparable.

i want to write more, this does not do them justice.. but im sleepy so ill stop here lol

Okay also before I end it for now, i love imagining tsukasa saying “my dear emu” in the same way that holmes constantly says to watson.

emukasa live laugh love

(incoherant ramble, do not expect this to flow logically)

sometimes i think emu and tsukasa were fated to meet with their similarities. okay this is not anything romantic i think.. i love to explore emukasa's canon, platonic bond just as much.

emu has explicitly stated that tsukasa and her grandpa were identical because of their dreams to make everyone smile and their overall energy (PIMH ep. 8), which is an interesting tidbit to mention (and is never brought up again ahaha..). emu's dream stemmed from her grandpa's dream, meaning that both tsukasa and emu were directly confirmed to share the same sentiments. isn't it so crazy how you coincidentally happen to meet a guy who you immediately thought of as "perfect" with a strong "zingy-zing feeling" (WMS ep. 4) ended up having the same exact dream? (HE LED YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?!)

also its been stated multiple times by tsukasa and others that wxs miku's behavior is similar to emu.. a vocaloid from a sekai created by tsukasa's feelings alone before he met emu. how odd is it to coincidentally meet a girl who acts like the vocaloid who exists to help you make your dream come true? and then tsukasa's like "its because of you that led to my dream coming true" in OHE, okay bye.

it also happens that this dream started because of a show that they watched with a family member that they love dearly. in tsukasa's case, he wanted to make people smile because of the show he watched with saki (which happen to be named "Wonder".. how strange!!!…) in emu's case, it was the show she watched with her grandpa at the wonder stage (woah.. "wonder"). it's not specifically stated where tsukasa saw that play, but it can most definitely be at PXL… i'd like to think that's the case until im proven wrong. anyways PXL were both important to emukasa in their childhoods even if tsukasa did not watch that specific show at the park. also on a related note, they both have a strong love for their family and its a really prominent part of their character. this is especially seen in both their family-oriented fes cards, and frag sekais are stated to reflect an individual's personal wishes.

in terms of personality and energy, they're just both loud, outgoing, energetic, chaotic, similar physical strength, stupid (ily), etc. two dumbass extroverts that match each other very strongly. who else has matched tsukasa's loudness that everyone finds so annoying? and who else can handle emu's exhausting antics? tsukasa claims he's not the same as emu, but.. *insert that one clip of them laughing together*. i love their silly banter too. ("you're just like sherlock homeless!" "it's holmes!")

okay irrelevant but can i talk about the ferris wheel scene really quick because it was tsukasa who helped emu realize her smile is important, and then emu was the one who told tsukasa that they want to make everyone smile. and then in tetrad, its just emukasa who gets the "one smile" (emu), "everyone's smile" (tsukasa) lines. yeah okay.

ANYWAYS, without this meeting at the audition, neither of them would've had a chance for their dreams to come true. this is acknowledged in both arc enders as they directly thank each other (emu in WMS to tsukasa, and tsukasa to emu in OHE) for everything they've done until now. to paraphrase, they say "thank you. because of you, my dream can actually come true now." their dreams were now closer to reality.. they even have a shared CC name called "Because of That Encounter". so the universe said they had to meet or else their lives wouldve been sad and miserable. tsukasa claimed "fate is not kind" (tsukasa PIMH side story), but their meeting was definitely a gift to him and emu from the gods above!
