Exorcism Research Meeting

[jumpedtheshark]

[There's notes slipped under everyone's door's that night.]

Meet in the lobby for an research meeting on exorcism. - Shirogane Tsumugi

[Said lobby has stacks of manga on one of the tables, organized by series. There's a lot there. On another table is her sewing machine, supplies, and an assortment of red and white fabrics.]

Right! Some manga and anime refrence exorcism, like Inuyasha, or revolve around it, like Twin Star Exorcists. I've brought out both of those, Gegege no Kitaro, Blue Exorcist, Natsume's Book of Friends, Yu Yu Hakusho, and more. I think that by referencing them... we could find exorcism methods to try. While they are fictional... we are too, so... it might still work, right?

[She nervously fiddles with her tape measurer.]

I'll be working on Miko costumes for the exorcism... but I'd appreciate it if everyone here read through at least one series and wrote down the methods you find, so we can prepare for them.

Oh, and umm... one last thing. If you want to look for more related manga or watch the anime of any of these series... I'm giving you free reign to check the shelves in my room and watch on my computer.

[She's trusting you all to not look under her bed, okay. That's where all the... stranger merchandise she has has been relegated to.]

So... let's do our best to save Niijima-san, Cinque-san, and whoever the Jorogumo is...  okay?

[If there's any questions, Tsumugi can be found working on a miko outfit for a Cosplay of Luka Urushibara. If anyone was wondering how she made all those maid uniforms last time, the way her hair is wiggling, extending and growing to serve as extra limbs to speed up the creation process is an explanation alright. Multi-tasking has never been so easy.

On her occasional breaks, you can find her flipping through one of the Bleach manga volumes.]

I wonder if a cosplay of one of the Gotei 13 would help...? They are Soul Reapers. Or maybe Rukia?

[She seems to decide yes, as there is a Rukia cosplay being made during the later hours of the research meeting.]

[resortghosts]

[Ding!]

Pre or post timeskip?

[jumpedtheshark]

Pre-time skip! That version of her is more iconic.

[resortghosts]

Hah, I guess so. Though I thought her shorter hair looked nice, myself. Then again, it's different in person than on a page.

[jumpedtheshark]

That's one of the hard parts of being a cosplayer, you know. Faithfully bringing the 2D designs into the 3D world!

[resortghosts]

[And another separate tablet ping:]

Do you mind if I borrow those volumes sometime, Tsumugi? Of Bleach, I mean.

[jumpedtheshark]

Not at all! Is this Ichigo-kun or Granz-san?

[She was always more of a fan of the latter to be honest. What can she say, she's a fan of villains more than heroes.]

[resortghosts]

Neither.

I'm just here to find chapters to roast Ichigo with.

[jumpedtheshark]

Well, I'm not going to stop you there.

[A pause and small dark look.]

I suggest looking at the early and final chapters for that.

[resortghosts]

👍👍👍

I'll definitely read them. I need to embarrass Ichigo for revenge from earlier today, anyway.

[jumpedtheshark]

I wish you luck on completing that quest!

[A highly amused smile tugs at the edge of her lips.]

Is this Emiya-kun?

[resortghosts]

Thanks.

Did you want to hear the story? I said I was going to tell everybody.

[resortghosts]

If you really want to scare the pants off that wolf, we should emulate Lord Aizen.

[jumpedtheshark]

Oooh... that's a good idea!

[Really, she's just here for the cosplay. A part of her is sad that she probably won't have time for wigs, and asking for them or colored contacts at this point would probably take a while, so she'll just have to be satisfied with the outfits.]

Hey, do you want to try cosplay? If you give me your measurements, I can make it in your size.

[resortghosts]

Ah...? Me?? No, no. I couldn't. What good is an invisible cosplayer?

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... I could ask the staff for makeup to cover your body with to make it visible and ask for a wig and contacts.

[Not so invisible then.]

[resortghosts]

Ah... I don't think so. It would be too strange...

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... if you're sure.

[A sigh.]

Instead, do you think you can find someone willing to wear an Aizen cosplay if I make it?

[resortghosts]

But I won't say no to some new clothes. I see you are a talented seamstress! And, if you're familiar with my manga, you know I am quite fashionable... and I do miss that cape. I lost it in Hell, you see.

Well, let's see... I think if I had to pick someone to play Lord Aizen, it would be Snake. He'd have to shave, though, of course.

[moonlightbeast]

[He's looking at that Bleach manga, because of course he is.]

This looks like a fashion manga, not a ghost manga.

[But wow look at all those pretty people in pretty clothes on the splash pages. He's as bisexual as ever right now.]

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... The characters do tend toward more flamboyant designs. There's barely anyone plain in here.

[Noticing his looking, she puts her current volume down, searches for the first one, and holds it out to Atsushi.]

But... it is the series Kurosaki-kun and Granz-san are from. So it makes sense, right?

[She says that like that should explain it all.]

[moonlightbeast]

...is it?

[He is. Definitely grabbing that first volume. And staring at the cover.]

This is what he looks like?

[Or, well. A heavily-stylized manga-version of him, but details.]

[jumpedtheshark]

It is!

[An enthusiastic confirmation. She's happy to wing woman someone she considers a friend, or at least is extremely fond of, even if she hasn't said it outloud.]

Or... at least that's how he looks drawn in the Bleach style.

[moonlightbeast]

[It certainly is stylized, but it's still somewhat handsome? Enough to make Atsushi even more curious about what Ichigo actually looks like.]

Ha, look, they even got his scowl down. It's perfect.

[He's amused by it, at least? And he's leafing through it.]

You know, part of me wonders if anything about my life is here. I'd love to see how they draw me.

[jumpedtheshark]

It is, isn't it?

[A perfect replica...]

Well... you could look through my Manga collection and see if there is later tomorrow Atushsi-kun. I umm... don't mind letting you in my room as long as you let me know before you go in.

[So she can make sure nothings slipped out from under the bed.]
