Interest Spot

Sakura Clinic

The Sakura clinic has been a longstanding spot in the darker shades of Roppongi. Originally an old love hotel who couldn't keep up with modern times, it was refurbished into what it is now by Doctor Sakura, a fallen-from grace surgeon. Initially financed with Yakuza money, it is rumoured to run other sorts of paralell business, such as painkiller and opioids smuggling, and even crime scene cleaning.

However, ever since the old doctor died and its successor, Doctor Kurosawa took the reigns, the truth surpasses the rumours. It has become ever since a ghoul hub, and almost if not all ghouls in the third ward have at least been once there. A tacit agreement has been made to behave and never drag fights into the clinic by the ghoul community overall. While the alias of doctor Kurosawa is Honeybee, and is known as relatively harmless ghoul among its peers, rumours state that there's an even stronger ghoul lurking at the clinic.

The clinic strictly segregates the three worlds it lives between floors, thus, the first two floors show no difference from most clinics, and they are specialized in all the basic ailments of humans, and even surgeries if need be. The third floor, which is sometimes used as storage room, still inherits a great deal of the love hotel structure, and more often than not, it is where the normal crooks go to get themselves treated.

The fourth floor, which bears little to no modifications (as it was closed for a long time) save a couple of rooms used for examination and cures, are the actual ghoul territory. Since ghouls do usually have a regenerating factor and are not very picky with their tastes, Doctor Kurosawa did not spend much money in reforming the place, with one exception: She has also made her residence in this floor, and has taken the former deluxe suit as her private dwelling and laboratory.

The clinic also sports a large cold storage in the basement, which includes an ambulance garage and corpse deposit. It is this peculiarity what allows the ghouls to use the clinic as feeding and supplying ground aswell. The size of the actual basement is often hidden and understated.

Needless to say, the funds required to run the oversized clinic are rather hefty, but the triple, maybe even quadruple business that it is run there more than often compensates for it.

Okay, doing a post. Imma flesh some of the staff, please do tell if it's too much.

[Grey]

Hehe.

Flesh.

[AtomicNut]

And done. So far it's

Weakass ghoul receptionist who's there to tip off about ghouls and CCG.
Unnerving possibly sociopathic human medic who's into organ trafficking.
CB, a mysterious ghoul.
And most of the staff were scrapped from the bottom of the barrel.

@AtomicNut first hana line has a typo in the coding.

Quick question to through into the air: How do you guys feel I'm doing on writing for Kazuya and Takeshi's interactions with each other, as well as their general temperament and attitudes?

[Savato]

So expect a post from me tomorrow, since y'all posted recently. A bit tired for a post tbh.

@Raijinslayer Didn't read the last couple of posts so I'll give my input tomorrow.

[Grey]

I'll write a post when I figure out what adjectives to use to describe shirtless Tacomeme what I want my post to be about.

Quick question to through into the air: How do you guys feel I'm doing on writing for Kazuya and Takeshi's interactions with each other, as well as their general temperament and attitudes?

@Raijinslayer

Sure. I'll try not to make it too character analysis-y though. And it goes without saying that this is just my opinion and I mean no offense.

---

Note: this is only taking into account information in this IC, and whatever was kept from the previous one is not being counted. I'm also assuming these kids are supposed to all be buddies instead of a bunch of vagrants squatting in the same space who don't really care about each other.

As far as their interactions together go, in the two or three posts that I've seen them interact, they don't quite strike me as friends. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to you, but so far it's mostly been threats, sniping, and fighting with little allusion to underlying camaraderie apart from Takeshi's protectiveness over the group as a whole. As a result, the read I get from their dialogue and actions so far is more "I hate the other" than "vitriolic buds". Again, not necessarily a bad thing depending on how this ends up being spun, if that's your intent.

In regards to their general personalities, you post mainly from Take's POV so he's pretty obviously more well-characterized than any of the other kids. I will say though, that the way they fight really tells me a lot about who they are as characters. The aggressive Takeshi is all about charging and striking, which is expected, but it's Kazuya's reactions that strike me as particularly telling. It seems he's supposed to be the peacekeeper of the group, but he doesn't apologize or anything, he just tries to make Takeshi submit by countering with locks and stuff. Likewise, he seems to be the one that actually starts everything, even if he doesn't throw the first punch. In short: you have correctly portrayed the experience of an older sibling. Congrats.

For Takeshi specifically, I can appreciate how straightforward he is as a person, and I rather like how it appears that he gets embarrassed easily. Although I kind of feel like he accepts the situation too easily for how wary he was described as being, but I can justify it easily enough in my head through what I know of his personality, so it's not that jarring. Note that that means you've characterized him enough for me to be able to see things from his perspective in like five posts. So overall, good job I'd say.

I don't have enough on Kazuya to say anything other than he's snide and condescending, but not as above it all as he seems? You could probably benefit from switching to his POV once and a while.

[Raijinslayer]

@GreyThanks for the feedback, definitely a lot more than I was expecting, but much appreciated. Being an older sibling myself, I know all there is to know about being the antagonizer, so glad that came off well enough. As for Takeshi being to accepting, he's only like that because, given the situation, there is only so much you can do. He was, and still is, trying to be cautious about the group Asoka and Hana, he's in the state of mind that if they really wanted to hurt us, they would've done it already. He doesn't trust or like anybody outside of his family, but he doesn't see much point in being overly wary about them at this point.

As for Kazuya, I'll try that. Main reason why was because I was, and kinda am, under the assumption that we were still following the rule from the previous RP, in which everyone got a kiddie(of course modified for those still left) and only started using Kazuya when I felt it getting weird for Takeshi to be reacting so much and the rest of the gang being so silent and unreactive. I'll try to make things less harsh between them, as I do want them to be friendly with each other . . . but maybe we could have a thing were the currently kidnapped sibling(something from the last RP) was something of a mediator and(being the oldest) was the most mature of the group. He was someone the other to liked and respected enough to listen to, and was strict enough to keep them from fighting a lot(as they tend to do when left to their own devices). Definitely an interesting plot thread to follow.

'Ey it's no problem. It's not always I get to write meta, so I gotta enjoy doing it when I get the chance.

@Raijinslayer

Ah yeah, thought that this was the case.

Mmmm, well if you're asking me, thrusting characters into situations they're not acclimated to is always a good idea. Conflict makes character and all that.

Also:

@Savato is this rule still applicable?

[AtomicNut]

I do think... that you should worry more about posting with your own character and worrying less about the plot tokens.
