The whole flag factory

[sneaks]

RED FLAGS meme

Sure, you may look like a total catch, but what's the catch? Maybe everything isn't what it seems.

how to play
- forget what you think you know about memes.
- forget the traditional subject line. no prefs. no character info.
- what do you put there instead? verbalize the red flag(s) that should, in a just world, come attached to your characters. be honest. be brutal.
- with this forbidden knowledge in mind, the rest of bakerstreet has to decide whether they wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole or if they'd throw caution to the wind and still go for it.

only smiles/laughs when he kills people

[harimaya]

... Quit lookin' at me.

[breweries]

Oya? And here I was hoping that you'd flash me a smile regardless. I'm not the type to bring someone for slaughter, sadly.

[harimaya]

...!

(HAS HE EVER SMILED AT YOU SHYLOCK........)

Ain't like I"m doing it for fun, you know!

[breweries]

[ not at all. but it's never too late!!! ]

I'm aware. You can't help that part of you. People don't always laugh and smile because they're happy, you know.

[harimaya]

(Never.)

Sounds like they're pretty messed up to me...

[breweries]

Not at all. They're free to express however they want, like how you tend to smile while eliminating someone - whether it is from the sheer thrill of drawing blood, or something else.

You don't want me to ask how you truly feel from it, do you?

[kikuichi]

Uhahaha. It's a good thing to enjoy yourself, Hizen Tadahiro.

[harimaya]

I'm not!

(LEAVE HIM ALONE.)

[kikuichi]

Even if you're not, it's not a bad thing.

[Considering what they are, and all.]

Would you prefer otherwise? Like doing something else?

[harimaya]

There're a bunch of things better than killing.

(...)

Like eating.

... and drinking.

(......... Don't make him list more.)

[kikuichi]

So you would prefer smiling and laughing while doing those things?

[Honestly, it's probably not hard to arrange. Just get Hizen drunk, maybe bring in the Shinsengumi swords as well.

Let the Tosa and Shinsengumi swords mingle, as long they have enough sake flowing.]

[queenofkur]

W-Well...

[ What in Kûr is she supposed to say seeing that sign on a complete stranger? Better see the positive aspect of things maybe. ]

At least that means you do smile and laugh, right?

[harimaya]

Sounds pretty screwed up if ya ask me.

(He sounds psycho!!!)

[queenofkur]

... Yes, this does sound like something a crazy and psychopathic madman who has no right to live would do.

[ She's honest. However- ]

But you should see the bright side: at least you have a source of happiness in life!

[harimaya]

(TENSES...... don't call him out like that. He knows its true but still!!!)

I'm not killing people for fun!

[queenofkur]

... Then why do you laugh and smile when you do it?

[bratherine]

Ever tried knitting?

( Because she's one to talk. )

[harimaya]

(JUST STARES LIKE WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT)

hello stranger~

[bratherine]

( Staring right back tbh. You heard her! )

not a stranger at all!!!

[harimaya]

If you gotta joke then just say it already.

😘 how ya been

[bratherine]

I look like a stand up comic t'you?

[omoshiroki]

Ah, hahahaha! Sorry, sorry. You remind me of someone I know, so I couldn't help myself. He was a killer, too.

[Takasugi says like it's the most normal thing.]

But, ah, how do I say this? Surely there are more interesting things other than killing people?

[harimaya]

...

(BRISTLES because he's heard this before and he already doesn't like this.)

Drinking.

(That's it. That's more interesting than killing.)

[omoshiroki]

[Takasugi nods!]

Yeah, that would do it. The guy I knew liked to drink, too. After he left his domain and got a new job, we'd drink and party all night, he and I! It's too bad they caught him too soon. I liked his smile. He didn't smile much, but I guess things just happen when you start swinging your blade for something else...

Do you smile when you drink?

[harimaya]

(It's amazing how someone can say so many words and make each next one worse than the rest. Dang, he thought that was a talent only those guys had but this guy is not like that guy.

... Still annoying, though.

And now the hamster wheel in his head is running through his memories and trying to figure out who this guy is. It's not like Izou had a bunch of friends so the list isn't particularly impressive but you know. )

... No.

(He does, actually.)

And don't start getting any ideas, either.

(No drinks to try and prove him wrong!!!)
