Kubo AtsushiWhich door first? Kubo winced. It was painfully obvious. The deaths which unlocked this place. Horatia and.... Kaoru. No matter how much he might want to go for the Ultimate Gambler's lab first, it didn't make sense. Not logically or emotionally. Idris didn't want to go there, and it likely had nothing of value to begin with. Maybe he could try some bullshitting. Lying and exaggerating the importance of Futatabi's room. Hey, guess what, guys? The rando neither of us cared about is suddenly important. He knew Idris wouldn't object. But he was sick and tired of that crap, and he knew Idris would see right through him, even if he agreed. They'd decided to come here. The choice was made, and backing out at this point- now that would be wimpy. "In order of death," he said quietly. "We'll go from Horatia onwards." [Read more] |

Kubo AtsushiKubo fought down his temper. "I'm not calling you a wimp. You think I want to be here? Poking around in their labs?" He laughed, dry and cracked. "I need you about as much as you need me. I admit it, okay? If you're a coward, I'm a coward too." Idris' face, struggling. Desperately trying to keep the emotions under wrap. Not letting the little light of hope creep into his eyes, nor the sadness or fear. "You're not a wimp," he said. "Farthest thing from it." I am, he admitted silently to himself. Hence why I hate you. You're too brave. Too moral. All that noble sh*t Kaoru loved. I admire the way you love Mei enough to go in regardless, and in turn, I hate you for it. Miyako HirotoMiyako shrugged. "Probably the idiot who designed these floorboards. It's not your fault they're terribly breakable and Darcy has the survival instinct of a drunk seal with a knife." She chuckled dryly. "...dumbass."

Or at least, that’s what they tell you. --- The year is 2071. Ever since the invention of the android, crime rates have plummeted. Human life grows more and more scarce. Why have a child when you can buy a mechanical one, new? Human-run businesses are becoming a rare commodity. The Clockwork Detective Agency is the last of its kind. Crimes are an uncommon occurrence, and usually solved by an all-mechanical police force. But this little agency of detectives, is, despite the name, fully comprised of humans who investigate the dark undertones of this new cyberpunk society. You are a worker at The Clockwork Detective Agency. Janitor, up-and-coming detective, a simple time-worn secretary- it doesn’t matter. You are as human as they come. And when the city of Trydanfaid is threatened, it’s up to you to investigate. But when the tangled mysteries are unravelled, the evil lurking beneath this new world will step out of the darkness... and towards you. 1. PH rules apply. 2. Characters must be balanced. They may be as smart or strong as you like, but above all, they must be a fairly flawed person and not an idealised form. 3. Do not control other's characters. You have your own characters for a reason. Characters will only make their choices under the person whom they belong to. Example: Example lunged forward, her fist at the ready to punch Example2 and relished in his squeak of fear. The person controlling Example cannot make Example2 squeak in fear. It is up to Example2's roleplayer to make that call of what Example2 will do. 4. Try to keep your characters relatively consistent. They can change over time, of course, but the change shouldn't come out of nowhere. 5. Paragraph style and third person. This style means that you will write your posts like a book. Such as- ("Hello," she said. "It's nice to meet you." She held out her hand for a handshake.) opposed to (Hello, it’s nice to meet you *I said and held my hand out for a handshake* ) This is to keep the posts clean and as easy to understand as possible. There is no minimum word count, but try not to do one liners. 6. If you are going out of character, then please put it in brackets. It can be confusing otherwise. 7. Your character MUST be human. If you would like to negotiate for a partially mechanical character, please contact Serendibite privately to discuss. 8. This roleplay won’t go into particular graphic detail, but due to the dark themes in any work of dystopia, please only sign up if you are over the age of 13. 9. Be active. If you sign up, then please try and post at least once every few days. If you are inactive without any explanation for over a week, you will be put on the blacklist. And, of course- 10. Have fun! (The form can be found: here.) [Potential Roles]  Show

Head Detective. (In charge of training detectives, overseeing investigations, confirming and filing solved cases, and assisting regular detectives in complicated cases. Generally want to see only three at most. I would prefer to have an example of your writing before I give out this role, as it might be a little complicated to roleplay.) Detective. (Just as it sounds. In charge of investigating on scene. Can accept commissions with authorization from a head detective. Usually works with several other detectives on a case, though some are undertaken alone. Unlimited available.) Investigative Assistant. (A detective in training. This role usually lasts about a year before they're sorted into a department. Unlimited available.) Forensic Analyst. (Scientific department! Analyses blood samples and fingerprints and provides a little perspective on some issues. Unlimited available.) Profiler. (In charge of profiling suspects! With a focus on psychology, this little department is in charge of profiling suspects. Occasionally they'll pop by a detained suspect for interrogation, but usually they maintain a distance from the case... unless they want to provide a little "perspective".) Janitor. (Cleans up all around the agency. Often disregarded by those around them. Unlimited available.) Intern. (A young student here to learn all about The Clockwork Detective Agency. Maybe it's for credits, maybe they're interested in applying after finishing school. Who knows. Unlimited available.) [Accepted Forms] Show

Kubo Atsushi"Yes." He closed his eyes, willing away the trembling in his voice. "I considered that. I suppose there should be nothing to stop us." It hurt, honestly. Breaking into a room meant for Kaoru? A room acquired at a price- her and Horatia's lives. The idea felt wrong, almost slimy. Did Idris want to see Kaoru's room? Did he suspect she had something to do with the mastermind? Or was this simply to hurt him? To take revenge for what he said... No. He wants to see Mei's. The realisation hit him directly in the chest. His next breath came out shaky. He's being genuine. Right now, he's scared. He wants me to go first so that he doesn't have to. He needs me to suggest that lab. "Come with me," he told him softly. "We'll face whatever's in there together." [Read more] |

Kubo Atsushi"Really feeling the love here," Kubo deadpanned. Rolling his eyes, he nevertheless stepped into the corridor, and flicked on the light. Immediately, it illuminated the hallway. It branched off into three seperate directions, each lined with, what he counted to be six doors. He made to check again, but- Eighteen ultimates, he realised, hand faltering. Eighteen talents. A door for each of us. Even the dead... "It's all good!" he called out. "Your meatshield has assessed the situation and guarantees your safety!" [Read more] |

NarratorBecause Serendibite is useless and lazy she has decided she will give Spriggy context for what's happening. Miyako HirotoMiyako jumped. "WHAT THE HELL!" she screamed. "WHAT IS IT WITH EVERYONE AND JUMPING INTO BOTTOMLESS PITS LATELY!" She thought Darcy had more sense than that. Apparently not, and apparently Darcy also wanted to be added to the list of very dead people. Or well, he would be, when she got her hands on him. [Read more] |

Miyako Hiroto"Great. That's settled." She tried to make herself let go of Shi, but it proved too difficult and she conceded, instead only snuggling her tighter. "Well then," she mumbled in her ear. "Wanna do dinosaur nuggies, or watch some stupid Disney movies? I'm down if you're down..." Her eyes fluttered shut. Do you want to watch Cinderalla? The word was on the tip of her tongue. But she couldn't say it. It felt wrong almost. As if she were betraying her own memories, her own understanding of the past. [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoA storybook. She thought of the timeworn book she'd had since she was a kid. It'd always been there. As far as she could tell, always a hundred years old too. It didn't make it any less beloved. She remembered tracing her fingers along the coloured illustrations. They were faded, but still beautiful. She also remembered a little kid scrambling onto the armchair. Grinning at her as he tried to peer at her book. 'What a dumb book. Real princesses don't act like that. They're really poor and they work really hard and their prince finds them at the ball!' She laughed. He stared intently at her the whole time. 'Where'd you get that?' she teased. 'Sleeping Beauty? Don't think I haven't noticed you stealing the DVD player, baby brother. You know too much tv will rot that brain of yours. And you don't have a lot left in that puny head of yours!' She reached out and ruffled his hair. He swatted her hand away with a pout. 'I'm serious! Princesses are nice and... nice and they do everything for the good guys! You're nice, and you made me dino nuggies!' 'So I'm a princess now? Geez, how insufferable do you think I am?' He let his head slide into her lap, the rest of his body dangling over the edge of the chair. 'Yeah,' he mumbled. 'You are a princess. You're pretty and nice and you have blue eyes... And your prince is gonna save us...' She felt his tiny arms go around her waist. A flash of pain went through her. Something like guilt, maybe? Regret? A horrible little tidbit of knowledge, weighing hard on you and... 'What's the prince gonna save us from, little princess?' 'Not a princess...' he mumbled. 'Gonna save us from the dragon. No more yelling. Nice quiet... everything... and it's Cinderella too..." His eyes slipped shut. Her hand smoothed her little brother's hair down, gently petting it as he slumbered on her lap. Even then, twelve year old Miyako knew... Her lips twitched up in a sad smile. Princesses never saved themselves. Much less sad little brothers with soulful blue eyes who talked about heroes and dragons and storybooks... when the only reality was the cold skip of the countertop beneath your awaiting fingers. "Shi," she whispered. "Be my prince." She was perfect. Blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin. Youthful stature, charming smile- Shi was the perfect hero of any story. Exactly the kind of person that Miyako wasn't. The kind of person she needed in order to forget. To pretend that her little brother was right. She wrapped her arms around Shi. Her vision began to blur, strangely watery. NarratorUnderneath the floorboards was a gaping empty void. It stretched on and on, far past the reach of Darcy's fingertips, sinking deep into the earth... then making a sharp turn and continuing. Hallways echoed beneath the school, room after room after room- each constructed beneath the very dorms they inhabited. The endless darkness seemed to stretch on for infinity. Noise echoing down below... Secrets lurking around every corridor. Underneath the school... was another floor. One which would be used to its full deadly potential. [Read more] |

Miyako Hiroto"Oh that sounds lovely!" Miyako took Shi's hands in hers and gave them a firm squeeze. "Soulmate strings, wrapped tight around our pinkies. Destined lovers." She smiled at her beautiful girlfriend. The whole world seemed to be blooming in colour, ever since she met Shi. For so long, everything had been rainy, monochrome, limited to a set world in which the encounter of cardboard and concrete were the only certainty. But when she was with her, everything seemed like it had seemed when she was a kid. Right and wrong were still there. She could feel hate and its red, angry fire. And she could also feel love. A gentle, blue colour, the exact shade of Shi's sky blue eyes. Every time they met hers, then the whole world seemed to open up. For a moment, the city was gone. The pain was gone. All she could see was the field of flowers in which they danced, laughing and dancing together. The gentle breeze which stirred Shi's golden hair. The dandelions they plucked and weaved into Miyako's. Matching. Just them, existing. In the wild, in the real world. Together, everything was beautiful. "You," she told her softly. "Are my destiny. I don't care what anyone says. I don't care who I was born to or who I'm supposed to love. This is fate." This is who I am- and who I've always been meant to be. --- (Btw Spriggy, Darcy can check below the floorboards. I'll write what he finds from POV *Narrator*.) [Read more] |

Miyako Hiroto"I'll have you know that that is hardwood flooring and it is very expensive! I could buy and sell a child with that! If I peeled it up from the ground, I could actively become a dealer in the black market and seller of illegally imported cars." She crossed her arms. "This is. A. Travesty." She stared seriously at Shi for all of two seconds then burst out laughing. "Sorry sorry!~" Miyako sang. "Alright. I'll murder you later. For now, what do we want to do, besides mothers? More dinosaur nuggies? Or do we stop torturing Darcy and actually go do something productive? It's up to you, honestly." [Read more] |

Miyako Hiroto"You better be sorry." Miyako stuck out her tongue. "Honestly, Shi-Shi, you're the worst." But she couldn't keep a smile off her face. A nickname, huh? I don't think anyone's ever called me that before.... I like it. She accepted Shi's hand and allowed her to hoist her up. "We were going to search the school," she explained, swiping a stubborn cowlick behind her ear. "For possible exits. Figure out how to leave this place... or if escape is even possible."

Miyako Hiroto"AHHH!" Miyako shrieked, throwing herself to the side. Shi barrelled past her as she lay, shivering on the floor. The dented floorboards left in her girlfriend's wake... That would've been me. Miyako shuddered. [Read more] |

Kubo Atsushi"That's what I want to find out. Think about it- Monokuma gave us access after the first trial, right? Some sort of twisted award." He kept walking, mind whirling with possibilities. "If it had some kind of special murder weapon, he'd be singing like no tomorrow. But he hasn't. Meaning it's something actually useful to us. An actual reward." Kubo stopped dead in his tracks. "Possibly... even a clue to the identity of the mastermind. The one orchestrating it all." [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoShaking off the remnants of terror which still clung to her visage, Miyako took a wobbly step forwards. She closed her eyes against the eternal suffering which the monstrosity had provoked. "Good lord," she whispered. "What kind of twisted mind?" She shivered. Time to never think about THAT again. "Do you know where Shi went?" she asked. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A golden blur was sprinting towards them at lightning speed. [Read more] |

Third Person POV"Puhuhuhu~ if you insist." The Buffkuma melted back into the shadows. Miyako's tragic sobs echoed through the hall. "I-Is it gone? Is it over? Are we safe?" Suddenly she was clinging to him, fists clenched around the collar of his shirt. "Please... I beg of you... if it ever shows its face again... kill me. Put me out of my misery." She began crying again. "Please. I would simply die." [Read more] |

Third Person POV"MY EYES ARE BLEEDING!" Miyako shrieked. "I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE! PLEASE JUST END THE TORTURE! I BEG OF YOU!" She curled up into a fetal position on the floor, sobbing and rocking herself back and forth. "Puhuhu~ now we're talking! Cower, little children! Stand in awe of my glorious bear-scles (which are bear muscles, not bear tonsils, just to clarify! I know how silly you little kiddins can be!) This is the effect you wanna have on small children too!" Miyako wailed, her face a mess of redness and snot. "If you want it, come by the Mono-gym for some dumbbells! I can lift all of them at once! Isn't that amazing? I could hit 200 children with 200 dumbells and kill 201 of them! You too can get in on this murder potential by getting BUFF!" Monokuma flexed a bicep. Miyako's screams heightened in pitch and intensity. "Anyway, how can i help you kiddins? I heard some arguing happening down this way. Quite condusive to murder, if I may say~ I approve." Niwa Atsushi"I mastermind an entire killing game and this is all I get delegated to? Kubo's randomass cousin? Why? What have I done to deserve this? I created an entire roleplay for your entertainment and-" He sniffled. "Dammit... I'm crying again. You're so awful. So mean. I hate you, roleplayer." Love you too, Niwa. "You killed me. And your stupid wife murdered Keiki. I hate you." Your suffering is my light. It always makes me smile. Thanks for the help, darling~ I appreciate your sacrifices. They really do cheer me up in these trying times. "Y-You... s-sadist." [Read more] |
