The Scriptwriting Method of a Comprehensive Torture Master

Tsukimi Chiya is a top-tier fantasy in quantum engineering, an eccentric plot master specializing in melodramatic dog-blood dramas. His actual combat ability is a big fat zero, but ever since he became a contractor thanks to his sin-infused beauty during the Great Tokyo Explosion three years ago, the side effect of his contracted form, "Beautiful Boy," has forced him onto the miserable path of developing brotherly bonds with dangerous ability users of the same sex. He seems to have a constitution that easily attracts perverts. Though he clearly has a pure-love story script, it keeps turning into an erotica-style coercive-love story. After much soul-searching, Tsukimi has also developed a naturally masochistic sadist side, and is trying to protect himself amid his increasingly suspicious male friends, by hurting them as much as they hurt him. (I don't know how to write much of a career plot, so this will probably be mostly romance. The general tone is indulgent and silly, probably.) Forum question: What happens if you steal a kill from Gojo Satoru? @Tsukimi Chiya Anonymous: Thanks for the invite. Don't message me. I'm in Yokohama, gone from blowing my top to going with the flow. Don't ask what happened. Two words: Run. Fast. Don't ask how the responder is still alive. All I can say is, if I've committed a crime, let the law punish me, not some white-haired bastard! 5t5: A single father raising a kid, using the child to win back his wife. After egging the kid on to blow up half the school, he takes a photo and follows up with: "I was wrong. Don't run away from home. Come back and help me raise the kid! Little 5 inherited your ability, and it went out of control. He tore down the school again today. At this rate, the two of us are going to get kicked out of the technical college!" Heterochromia and basketball: There is no reason for a world without you to exist. If the price of stopping the apocalypse is losing you, then let the world end. The man who used to be a ten-thousand-yen bill: Even though the memories I had of you were stolen, I still firmly believe you exist... The bright moon that fell into my arms in a hazy dream: no matter what, I want to see you again. Yokohama's strongest: Even if the power fate has placed upon us is at odds, the bond between us remains the most unbreakable. "Whether it's the shame of forgetting everything, even where I came from, or knowing the whole truth only to find it even more tragic... Either way, it makes me so sorry for you I could cry. But ever since I formed a bond with you, all the things I once pretended not to care about really don't matter anymore." The world's greatest detective: I want to become irreplaceable to you, too. Learn to rely on me! "I swear on my name as the heart of the Armed Detective Agency: its doors will always be open to you! You're always welcome to come home!" The first crown prince of Abraham: If I could see you again, every sacrifice would be worth it. "You were my light, yet you sacrificed yourself to save everyone, leaving only me behind in the abyss. Why can they forget you so easily, while I'm left with this obsession? You should remember that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't still be guarding this country, the one that betrayed me!" Fyodor: When I was too young to tell beauty from ugliness, his appearance taught me what beauty was. An angel on the verge of falling in a sullied world, a flower born in darkness but believing in the light. I know you're the biggest obstacle on my ideal path, but no matter what, I just can't... Mori, who seems to be the unluckiest but actually brings it all on himself: He's eaten so many knives that he's been tormented half to death, wishing he were dead. The second lead of the bad-ending script, the heartless master of face-slapping, Chiya: happily eating popcorn while watching Mori sob. Some characters appear in singularity scenarios. Their consciousness gets pulled into an ability singularity: the Tragic Beauty script. A former military doctor, ruined and left a drifter after being framed for a major disaster, later makes good x a young master who can't stay alive for long, but is the only little sweet thing Mori has left when he's lost all hope. That's how the young master catches his eye. Reality: "You once said prophecy was bait set by the gods. I only regret not taking it to heart. I thought I was being so free and easy, giving you up for Yokohama, but in the end I lost both of you." (Yokohama wasn't destroyed.) Special Division for Unusual Powers: "As expected of that Mori Ougai. He'd kill his one and only lover without a second thought. I hear she was pregnant with his child when she died (not true)... Tsk, what a terrifying man." Mori: Pretends to calmly negotiate, then bawls his eyes out in private. Chiya: Playing dead, wearing a secret identity and happily eating popcorn. Dazai: That specially made bullet pierced my chest and lodged in someone's heart. It wasn't until I lost him that I finally realized... I, too, wanted to live for someone. Though that person finally gave me the courage to admit I love this world, I can no longer embrace the world I love together with him. Chiya: ...?! (The melon drops from the hands of the gossiping spectator.) This was supposed to be a mutually tormenting frenemies script! Could you stop making up extra drama for yourself?! Dazai, after learning the truth at the Armed Detective Agency: ...? (Turns dark with rage.) Chiya: (Hides behind the red-haired man who naturally reaches out to shield him.) You're not even in the script! You can't blame me for getting you caught up in your own scheme! I saved Oda Sakunosuke for you, so please don't hit me in the face... Kyosuke Hyobu: Actually, it doesn't matter if the war between ordinary people and ability users can't be stopped. I just... don't want to see you suffer again. If the future of ability users will only bring you pain, then leave the choice to fate fifty years from now. Undecided scenarios (I might write them in this story, or in the next one) Dazai: Erotic literature Dazai and Mori as father-and-son members of the underworld x a fake canary but actually a beautiful undercover police inspector x Nakahara Chuuya, his fiance and also a police inspector (Mori and Chuuya in the scenario are fictional, not the real people) Boss Mori was injured when he was young and can't get it up, so he doesn't get a single bite of the action. His rebellious son Dazai gets it all. The rebellious son kills his father, takes over, and inherits the beauty by force, even going so far as to have sex at the funeral. The beauty tries to escape and end his undercover mission, but Dazai, who knew his identity all along, hypnotizes and controls him. Chuuya keeps targeting Dazai, trying to get his wife back. Ranpo: Once a genius, he was plotted against and became an eight-year-old dummy of a young master x a gentle beauty, pitiful and beautiful, sold to the young master as his wife x head of the family Fukuzawa Fukuzawa: 1. A cat-eared beauty who grows up and climbs out of a phone desktop pet x an old man who calls his beloved cat "Father" and "Master" The owner only wanted to watch the kitty grow up, but couldn't help developing a possessive streak. P.S. What could be happier than raising a wife who suits your tastes? 2. Silver Wolf divine master x an old aristocratic-family son, carried off by a springtime rampaging beast god and coaxed into submission. After being fed too much divine milk, he reverts to a mermaid-like form, and is kept imprisoned as a pampered wife in a sealed lake in the middle of nowhere. At last, he escapes, only to be kidnapped and fiercely ravished again. Why isn't Chuuya here? Because he's a little angel who can't turn evil. (So I couldn't think of any scenarios for him. If you have any good ideas, tell me in the comments.) Theme: Make this an excellent bedtime read
