#i'd imagine toka and mana are just fucking around not aligned to either side (toka in particular messing with peaky for no reason LOL)

since you're here, here's more information on the AU! (long post so check under the cut)

this au is (affectionately) called the cops and robbers AU! the details aren't set in stone as of now as i literally made it just for this weeklong challenge 😭 but! here are some details:

Hapiara, Ri4, and Photon are the "cops"!

photon are secret services agents (with shano managing them) who were assigned to protect a certain politician attending a mansion party.

Ri4 are rich ladies who are well-aware of the corruption going on in the upper strata of society and are secretly trying to steer Photon and Hapiara into discovering a part of it. they attend the mansion party because they were invited as well.

hapiara are detectives-in-training who were initally investigating a semi-related case but ended up accidentally being roped into the same case Photon and Ri4 were taking later on.

Peaky and RONDO are the "robbers"!

peaky's lore is on the yukaeso post (i'm sure you've seen it---it's what led you here LOL)

RONDO are hitmen. alter-ego is a front. RONDO were assigned to kill a certain politician who just-so happened to be attending a mansion party.

M4 are "neutral"! they're independent journalists who are always first to find big news. a little after shit hit the fan at the mansion party, they arrived on the scene and reported it live. afterwards, they ended up working with hapiara behind the scenes to uncover more about the case.

abysschord are undecided as of now, but abyssmare would most likely lean towards the "robbers" side. coa are still broken up.

[Day 4: AU] a close call!

(bonus doodles and context under cut)

peaky are sort-of "robin hood" characters who are rich themselves, but don secret identities to target corrupt politicians, government officials, and billionaires when the law fails to punish them. most of what they do is dig up dirt on their chosen target and bring it to light for the general public.

one of their targets had invited esora (current ceo of the shimizu group) to a mansion party. they decided that this would be a good opportunity to gather more intel and do a little snooping around the mansion.

esora attends the party proper with yuka as her "bodyguard". things are going well until the power goes out and a gun is shot. the room immediately dissolves into a panic, and yuka scoops esora up before making an emergency exit through one of the massive windows. kyoko and shinobu throw out a rope ladder and yuka grabs it at the last second before they make their escape.
