"Let's meet up at the anime convention in [place] this time."
"Let's make it more fun and cosplay."
"Sure. Who should we cosplay?"
"Let's cosplay characters from Touken Ranbu. After all, this is a Touken Ranbu roleplay chat group."
"Then what should we use as a token to recognize each other?"
"I have an idea. Most of us also have Bungou Stray Dogs personas in the group next door, right? We can cosplay our characters from this group and bring along the Bungou Stray Dogs work with the same name as our character's ability. That'll be our token. This way, there's no chance we'll mistake each other for someone else!"
"But Hakusan, didn't you forget that Mikazuki doesn't have a Bungou Stray Dogs persona?"
"Uh... Then... Then..."
"Still, it's a pretty interesting idea. How about this: I'll meet up with Mikazuki first, then you can all find me."
"Works for me."
"Then it's settled."
"What about me? I'm Alice."
"You can be the Dancer."
"I'm good with that."
"Then it's settled."
"I'm here. Mikazuki, where are you?"
"Is the Hakusan in front of me, the one without a fox, you?"
"I'm holding No Longer Human."
"Oh, so where are you? Can you share your location?"
"South Gate."
"..."
"What's going on?"
"Where are we?"
"Hakusan? Are you okay?"
"...Not really. Higekiri and Jiro probably aren't doing too well either."
"Hizamaru and Iwatooshi probably aren't doing too well either, considering those two..."
"I'm fine. What matters is Iwatooshi. He's probably really not doing well."
"Ichigo, go check on Hakusan. As for Iwatooshi, Jiro, keep an eye on him."
"Sigh... Okay."
"We've all been affected to some extent."
"After all, memories are an important part of what makes a person."
"But aren't these memories a little off?"
"You think so?"
"...Mikazuki is the exception."
"So, let's start causing trouble."
"You're Higekiri, not Tsurumaru."
P.S. The author only recently joined a roleplay chat group, and the character personas for this novel's main cast were all borrowed from fellow group members. I don't really know the others that well, so there's no way to avoid writing them out of character. I'm the one writing this, and I don't know what they're thinking, so... just bear with me.
P.P.S. The author's persona is Hakusan, so Hakusan is the protagonist. But in practice, the story is only told from Hakusan's point of view. Basically... it should be an ensemble story, right?
Finally, to stress this again: the characters wear Touken Ranbu shells, but their outward behavior and personalities are from Bungou Stray Dogs. And at heart, they're just a bunch of roleplayers and cosplayers.
Theme: Messing with the values of the government and the sword masters.
No way, there are too many elements hahahahahahaha
Thinking about it, actually... Some wild dogs also use knives. It would be better to say that hounds all have knives (wink)
Laughing. But although Akiko may not be able to cook, the cosplayer can actually cook.
This warbler is similar to the warbler next door, who was sold by his aunt and then killed on the black market to report on current affairs.
Laxative, so embarrassing that I pulled out Barbie's dream mansion. Come on, brothers, I fell down laughing.
You can conduct live broadcasts to persecute all those who judge the gods, persecute current affairs, and persecute other swordsmen.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, I'm almost laughing like a dog, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ok
Orimaru didn't show up today either (read)
It feels so lively, I want to blend in (in every sense of the word)
I went there and it was the first time I saw a cosplayer without Chuuya wearing it.
