[paperpusher]

Happy Golden Week, everyone! Natori Shuuichi here, hoping everyone is doing well-- especially our new faces! Please let us know if we can help you adjust.

I'm excited to announce that my new movie Fiance of the Funeral Procession, the second film in the Sparkling Detective Akeboshi Koutarou series, is now available in theaters! It's a historical mystery involving a beautiful woman and her beautiful fiance and the dark secrets that they keep. Each film in the series stars a new case with only the detective as the recurring character, so you don't have to have seen the first one! It would mean a lot to me if you could support my coworkers by watching the film.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy ✨

[What Natori didn't make clear is that he is playing Akeboshi Koutarou, though that becomes obvious to anyone who know what he looks like as soon as they come across a movie poster. Shockingly, this is canonically a good movie. A summary of the plot is available here! Feel free to have characters already seen posters/seen the movie if you'd like.]

Comments

No, I doubt it. You'll be happy to know that it's rather difficult for me to dislike someone and especially when they could be a client of mine someday!

But no, I'm just someone who worked as a funeral parlor back home! Any and all things related to death just ping my interests.

[paperpusher]

Aha, I see. ["Could be a client of mine," huh... well that's a little morbid.] That's an interesting profession! How did you come to be involved in that?

[localweirdo]

It was inherited to me. After my grandfather passed away, it was up to me to keep the business going.

[Pause]

But I was supposed my undertakers are going to be the ones in charge now.

[paperpusher]

Ah, I see. I'm not sure how long ago it was, but I'm sorry for your loss.

[Though their relationship to death must be pretty different, huh? It still doesn't feel right not to say anything.]

Well, think of it this way: you'll have an awful lot of stories to tell them once your contract is fulfilled and you go back.

Sorry for the late! Life sucks ass

[localweirdo]

It's fine, it happened quite some time ago so it's nothing to get upset about!

[That and airing her grief to a stranger wasn't really an option for her. Still, his words did leave her speechless for a moment. Indeed, would they be happy to see her back?]

But I suppose so! They would be shocked to see their director back from the grave! You can say it'll be a deadly surprise!

I'm saying the same thing back to you!

[paperpusher]

So you've been doing this for a while, then? You must be very knowledgeable at this point. This is my first time meeting someone who works at a funeral parlor in a social situation, so it's not the sort of thing I hear a lot about.

Haha, very funny (￣▽￣)╭

[localweirdo]

Then if there are any questions you may have, please do let me know! I'm always willing to indulgence any curiosities one might have about my profession.

Rest assured, it's not as scary as one would think!
