[ It's video time. And Sasaki is wearing a blue police uniform because he is kind of working, and on his face he is wearing Harry Potter glasses. On his desk there are chocolates, cookies and candy which he'll never eat, and there are even flower crowns; someone save this man from his fans who happen to be teenagers or old ladies. ]

Hello everyone, specially to the new arrivals. I'm Haise Sasaki. Things are probably really confusing right now, so if you have any questions, let me know. I'll try my best to answer, plus I've been here for two years. [ Sasaki is a police officer and he considers this an important part of his job. ] There are also some F.A.Q's laying around, though a bit outdated. [ he will send links to this and this ]


Anyway, I was thinking thanks to the Gala: I used to have dancing lessons long ago and - don't mock it - it was actually a lot of fun. I already have one recruit - Hi, Riku - so if anyone would like to try, why not? I'm good at Waltz, by the way. [ and he just remembered: ] Also, might as well ask, I feel like I've read most books out there, so if you have suggestions, let me know. I'm into psychological themes, but I've even read books on martial arts and those are also fun. I'm fine with most genres.


[ alright, the fun part is over! Now onto serious business ] Finally, and unrelated to the other two topics. I have... many issues with my powers. [ they aren't "power", exactly. They are biology. ] In my world, I'm not allowed to use them, only under extreme circumstances, and they aren't seen with a good light. Which is normal, I'm not complaining about that. [ they are what make Sasaki a monster, after all ] But in this place, a lot of things happen and we need to be prepared, and I was told that maybe I should start using my powers more since they are a part of me.

For that reason, I was wondering if anyone would like to train with me, using my kagune. I need to warn you, it's a violent weapon, very malleable, sturdy, sharp too, and it can pierce through most materials. If you think you can handle it, I really would like a sparring partner.

And that's all, thank you for listening.

[Wow, Sasaki has a super violent weapon? Whatever would he need one of those for? It sounds important, like it could be a huge part of his life, too bad Komasan completely ignores it.]

I...I kinda...wanna...learn how to dance, z-zura.

[ Komasan has the best priorities ]

Sure, I can teach you. Have you ever danced before? [ he should probably ask this because he IS talking to a yokai that looks like a dog ]

[monge]

Well sure, who hasn't danced before, zura?

[He dances like a dork, save him.]

[dualismum]

[ he IS a dork so it's ok ]

That's good, it'll make things easier. Though, you are a bit short-

would it be alright to use your human form?

I'd like to learn to dance. The gala was a lot of fun, but I stepped on too many toes.

[dualismum]

It always happens at first. It's good for a few laughs, but it's better to know what you are doing.

Anyway, I'm free during the weekends. If that's not a good schedule, I can try to make time during the week, though.

Since I'm self-employed, any date is fine for me. The weekend will be perfect.

... Could I bring a guest?

[A chance to mock Riku AND get a sparring partner? Oh boy, this is his lucky day.]

Riku's getting dancing lessons from you? Of course he is, that loser can't do anything without someone helping him. [But that's just something he needed to get off his chest, now onto the real important stuff.] But anyway, I really don't care about what he does. I'm much more interested in sparring with you as I like the idea of challenging you, so what do you say?

[dualismum]

You do need a partner to dance waltz, Kagami. [ why are you like this JUST BE NICE YOU BIG BABY ]

As for sparring- well, alright. I'll give you a chance. [ he is sounding cocky on purpose, but Sasaki does worry a bit ] What are your powers?

video

[darkimitation]

I'm not that stupid, I know that. I'm just saying he needs someone to help him with everything just about.

[Because he's a tsundere and runs hot and cold with Riku. That's why. He's also getting more confident as he continues.] I've got plenty of powers. Wielding darkness, smelling people, make clones of myself, and open portals of darkness.

[resipiscent]

Can I claim sparring on top of dance?

[dualismum]

You think you can handle it?

[resipiscent]

I'm not worried. The Keyblade can handle it. Besides, I could use the practice.

[drizzle]

[She has a lot of questions about this post. A lot. Where to even begin?]

You know, I always knew Riku looked like a prince. I didn't expect him to want to take the compliment so seriously...

[Instead of mocking Sasaki, she'll be kinda aiming her disbelieve on Riku instead. Yup. She will just...try to imagine it.]

How is he as a dance partner? If it's you and him, who leads? [Because you're both boys and she can't picture Riku leading for some reason.]

( audio )

[dualismum]

[ Sasaki laughs, amused ]

He isn't that bad at dancing really! And, I guess we take turns. last time, I lead, but he needs to learn that too.

( audio )

[drizzle]

He isn't...? Really?

[Again, she's having trouble picturing it all.]

I think learning to dance has a way of boosting confidence. The day he learns to lead, let me know! I want to see it. It'll be hard to believe otherwise!

[And with that said, she will smile a bit.]

I'm a little jealous he got to dance with you though. I didn't know you could. Can I ask for a dance the next time there is an event like the one in July?

[santouryuu]

Sure, I'll train with you.

[zORO at least wait for your injuries to close up you crazy fuck]

[dualismum]

[ oh a new face. Sasaki hums and nods ]

Alright- let's see, what are your powers? [ because it's better to make sure they can handle each other ]

video;

[santouryuu]

Powers? I'm not a Devil Fruit user.

[Someone didn't read his file, whoops.]

But that doesn't matter. [He taps at the hilts of his three swords.] I'm plenty tough enough without 'em.

[It's definitely not your everyday video feed, what with how it flickers on with some difficulty and muttering about 'not seeing the reason for all these buttons,' but when the image finally clears, there's the face of a pretty doe-eyed male with a straw hat on the screen.]

I'm good at both dancing and fighting! [He's a better fighter, trust me on this.] So if it's either you want, I'm your guy, Snowy!

[dualismum]

[ look luffy that's because you haven't read the instructions manual. Which is... somewhere in those buttons. ANYWAY. ]

Aha, wouldn't it better if you chose? [ it's not like sasaki can be the one choosing it for you ]

video;

[nishishi]

But it'd be biased if I chose!!

[He sounds pretty distraught about this, apparently.]

If I had to pick, I'd choose the fight first. It's way more fun.

It's been a while, Sasaki. How are you doing, have you been doing any art projects as of late?

voice;

[dualismum]

Hello, Toby. Sadly, nothing interesting but I ought to change that; would you like to jojn me sometime?

Oh, and congratulations on the wedding! I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it.

[hisheartsdesire]

Ah, that's all right. We definitely have had more than a few people express they were unable to make it, but overall had a great time.

[He knows that not everyone gets along with either him or with Dorian, and that's okay. What he doesn't know is that Kaneki tried to eat Dorian's hand, but hey. Maybe he'd understand that, too, if he could understand Lucy stabbing Dorian in the eye.]

We should indeed get together! For a paint session or something. Really, anything would be nice. Is there anything specific you'd like to do, or anywhere you'd like to meet?

[Hell, even just having a talk is perfectly fine with him.]
