permissions and opt-in

Right, so. Misaki here has several abilities that require opt-in permissions, as well as a blanket permission for her being a Weird Asshole. This post will serve as an opt-in as well as somewhere to discuss plots with some of her abilities!

General Opt-In: Misaki is a Nosy Fucking Asshole with some slightly stalkerish tendencies. If you are okay with her tracking your character on the network, including breaking into any post that is at all hackable to read that shit, opt in here.

Shadow Reading: Similar to telepathy, Misaki can gain an understanding of the darkest desires of someone if she touches them! If you would like for Misaki to be able to read someone's desires and dark urges/intrusive thoughts they'd like kept secret, opt in here.

Contract Magic: Misaki can enter into magically binding contracts, which largely means she can track you down to make you repay her for favors given, and must repay favors owed, so long as the debt was vocally acknowledged. While ICly Misaki can make and enforce these contracts even if the other party didn't know they were getting into one, oocly these are completely opt-in. If you would like to get into a magical contract with Misaki, comment here!

Grimalkin: Grimalkin is a horrible chthonic entity shaped vaguely like a gigantic fluffy cat, and he likes to steal things of magical power or emotional significance. If you would like this fluffy asshole to steal something, you can opt-in here!

Bakeneko: Another horrible cat demon, this one is cantankerous and has a cursed bite! The curse is no more than an appropriately themed karmic justice, and can be broken by gaining Bakeneko's forgiveness. It can also likely be broken by other magical means, but Misaki cannot guarantee anything but the cat. If you would like to opt-in to being bitten by an asshole cat, comment here!

Shadow Reading

May Misaki read into the shadowy desires of your character? Sure thing! But if she did try this with Dojima, she'd find someone talking back at her, unimpressed but also amused. Whoopsie, Dojima has a Shadow-self after all!

Briefly describe their darkest wishes, most repressed desires, or just their intrusive thoughts that she'd pick up on.

- He's a failure as a father, husband, detective and a man. Even if Dojima consciously tries to work on those feelings, they're still there, deep inside.

- Especially the father bit. Nanako nearly died, he thought she was gone, and all the guilt of being a shit dad to her since her mother died still eats him up inside.

- He's angry at himself that he had to leave the solving of a serial murder case to his nephew and a bunch of his teenage friends because of literally, magic powers. Something that shouldn't exist in his world but turns out, whoops, they do!

- He's deeply torn over the fact he should hate his ex-junior partner, Adachi, for everything that he did to Inaba and his family, and indeed, part of him does. But another part still cares and refuses to give up on the dumbass. This conflict of emotions weighs him down sometimes, as he knows anyone else-- everyone else save maybe Souji has written the man off, and perhaps rightfully so.

- Sure is great being the weakest link of the crew, compared to literal gods, might as well be gods, magic power wielding teenagers and a robot man that can use robot animals to fight for him. Him being from a mostly mundane world (so he thought) hasn't helped much.

- Related to this, he wonders/mostly believes the bottled ship that he received must had actually been intended for his nephew, Souji Seta. A bitter feeling of knowing that this kid who he'd want to protect can do the job better than he ever could.

- He's. Uh. Struggling with maybe being attracted to another male crew member when he thought he was 100% straight. Also guilt cause, you know. He's a widower, catching feelings feels like betraying his wife, even if she's gone.

Basically-- Inferiority Complex, extreme regret, powerlessness and a bit of fear of queer?

Are you alright with Misaki referencing what she picks up from this? Yes but maybe be a bit gentle if we don't wanna go into full on Negative CR. Prodding about what powers his Nephew had that needed to be used to solve a murder case would be a good start, for example?
