Hisohoma (as Friends Or ~something More~) Are Definitely Chaotic In The Strangest Ways. On Multiple Occasions

Hisohoma (as friends or ~something more~) are definitely chaotic in the strangest ways. On multiple occasions they have been found, sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot, Hisoka munching on his Happy meal (with the cute marshmallow shaped plushie) with his ‘limited release marshmallow-topped sundae’ sitting by the side. Who knows how or where he got it, but Homare is sipping a hot earl grey in an old English style teacup. They end up coming home at 12:00 am where they find everyone worrying over where they disappeared to. Izumi lectures them a little bit (Sakyo nods approvingly. He’s taught her well.) but she thinks it’s sweet that they get along so well.

I’m not sure if this is just an American thing, but do y’all know ‘pass the pulse’? I’ve done it before all of the [3] different performances I've done theatre-wise and I really feel like it could be such a sweet thing for the troupes and mankai in general to take part in! For anyone who doesn't know, pass the pulse is usually done before performing for an audience, and it seems to be mostly done within theatre groups[I could be wrong here, just in my personal experience!!]. It entails everyone standing in a circle, silently, sometimes with your eyes closed, and you’re all holding hands. One designated person squeezes the hand of the person on their left or right, and then that person squeezed the hand of the person next to them, and so on until you get back to the first person. The squeezing is meant to be sort of like the ‘pulse’ of the group, and it’s meant to be a nice, calming moment of connection before a performance. The little tradition that the summer troupe had of putting their hands on tenma before performances kinda reminded me of this, but I would love to see all the troupes having a little moment before performances.

annotation hcs (winter pt 1)

I haven't finished the winter troupe’s first chapter yet, so that would explain if any of these are ooc or feel kinda bland, sorry!

Tsumugi: king of annotations, I don't make the rules >:3. He’s the one whom everyone goes to when they have no clue how to go about something academic, and this kinda extends to script annotation. He takes such nice, neat professional notes on most of the pages. [as i said in kazu’s hcs, i think that most of the post-high school kids are fairly solid on note-taking] butttttt, i feel like on certain pages this dweeb[in a loving way] just forgets what the word neat even means. Im talking scribbles, lengthy notes for no reason random analysis, dogeared page, doodles, scratchy marks in the margins, he just gets into a state where his brain goes *BRRRRRR*. Most of it is nice though I promise.

Tasuku: (LOOK IN THE COMMENTS, some lovely people corrected me on this one as we have textual evidence about tasuku’s note-taking later on in the chapters!!!!!) mmmostly minimal notes. Some underlining here and there, mostly reminders to himself on movement and how to get down the subtleties of the script. I feel like he would dogear pages alot too! He’s the one who forgot to write his name on the front of his script, but after a couple of reminders he did it

Hisoka: there’s like, 10 words total in that entire script. Idk he just, feels his script, reads it, sleeps with it under his pillow, and then he’s got it. <- on that note, he definitely sleeps with his script sometimes. Once he told tsuzuru that the scripts were ‘comfy’ and tsuzu just accepted it and moved on with his day.

Homare: WHERE TO START WITH THIS ONE?? So, first off, somehow he managed to make the script look like an illuminated manuscript with all his additions?? Used one of his fountain/calligraphy pens with gold ink to write his name on the front cover~ puts in poetry when inspiration strikes him, so some of the pages are -covered- in writing. Adds little commentary to his notes like muku!! ‘Hmm?? This character seems to be quite nervous!!! Mayhaps this ought to play into their stance!!’ Uses multiple pens when annotating, so there is a bit of a range of color in there, mostly blues, reds, blacks, and on occasion some other colours. I feel like he would use a shade of wine red most often tho!

Azuma: unlike homare, i feel azuma has one specific pen dedicated to annotating his script. He always keeps it neat and tidy, no folded corners, and the script isn’t too worn-looking at the end of the run, he even has a place in his room where he keeps all his scripts! Tries to keep his notes in a nice little aside in the margins, keeping the lines nice and straight!

Spring Troupe with a kinda tsundere-ish (not in an abusive way but cute denial) s/o please?

ahh this was cute!! thanks for sending this in and being so patient, hope you like it!!! 

Sakuya : he’s a bit surprised at first!! The first time they kinda turned away from him abruptly during a conversation (he was talking about the costumes for their upcoming performance and *omg his eyes are sparkling?? Why is he so cute??ghkjfhkngjndk I can't take this oh god*) he worried for a second that he might have upset them, which is the last thing he’d want to do!!! He stepped over to see their face properly and he kinda shut down and got more confused when he realised they were blushing??? Poor kid just could not figure out for the life of him why they were blushing when he was just talking about a play until itaru explained that he was being vv adorable. Once he learns this, he proceeds to become a blushin little mess whenever he realises they’re blushing and then it's just a never ending cycle until someone says something.

Masumi: oo i paused for a second writing this one, but i think masu would adore this!!!! He’s grinning and blushing bc he adoreeees seeing his s/o all flustered and stubborn. He’d be stubborn right back at his s/o until they give in (ex: complimenting them until they’re red in the face) because it makes him vv happy :>

Citron: a bit confused at first, but once he remembers the concept of ‘tsundere’, he’s all here for it!! He’d be the one to call his s/o a tsundere to their face because he thinks it's a cute nickname! He will lightheartedly tease his s/o but he would always assure them afterwards that he wasn't trying to be mean! They’re just too cute!

Itaru: HE IS LOVING THIS OMG!!!!! He recognised it right away!!!! Every now and then they say something that's almost word for word what a tsundere character in one of his games says to the protagonist and aaaAAAHHHHHH!!!! He giggles so hard!!! And he will purposely flirt just to see their reaction bc yoo!!!! They’re so cute!!! Masumi says ew at itaru every single time, but gamer boy wouldn’t have it any other way <3

Tsuzuru: Honestly, I think for tsuzu he’d try and learn his s/o’s behavior and habits, and before you know it, tsuzu gets smooth as hell??? No one saw it coming?? But! with all his writing, he’s gotten really good at character analysis and he’s come to learn a lot of their ‘lines’ and can read body language like a book so he knows exactly which buttons to push and when to tease his s/o without being mean

Chikage: (note for this one! As of writing this, I've only just met chikage in-story, so I apologise if this is a bit ooc!) ok, cabbage man takes this as a personal challenge. Chikage definitely likes having the upperhand in knowing that anytime he wants he can turn the argument in his favor if he just flirts a little bit. He’s always smiling with this cocky little look on his face and ahfdhjaskmds its the WORST uk what i mean?

Misumi and kazu regularly re-enact the entire duck song. (Perfectly every time may I add!!)

Tenma hates it because it doesn't make sense??? Why doesn't the duck just get some himself?? It's so repetitive?? (He’s never seen the video before the first mini “performance”)

Tsuzuru and omi are silently suffering through hell every single time. But the triangle buds look like they’re having so much fun so they can never bring themselves to voice their frustrations. (Their little brothers used to play the song on repeat so they’ve been suffering this pain for years.)

Sakyo just leaves the room. (But he’s secretly happy that they’re all laughing and getting along)

Taichi, Kumon, and Citron join in if they happen to be there when it starts! (Once by chance all 3 of them were in the common room and they all joined in. In total 5 people were singing at once and it was chaos. )

just in case, cw: potentially dangerous accident, mild cursing I think it's plausible to imagine that misumi is always in the theatre during all tech rehearsal, even when he has nothing to actually do. It seemed to be that once props and tech came in, misumi followed. But no one really minded because he didn't disrupt rehearsals. Now, no one in mankai really knew why misumi is always around during tech until one day during a very tech/prop heavy scene in a short mixed troupe play. Everyone was on heavy time constraints and tech week kinda became tech 3.5 days. Due to the rush, not everything on the catwalk was secured properly, and a stagehand had to run up to hand off a toolbag to someone working right above the stage. The toolbag falls. Before anyone can notice, misumi runs onto stage and tackles tsumugi. The toolbag, full of metal tools, fell onto the stage, crushing the wooden prop tsumugi was standing on. The entire theatre fell silent for a minute, then as one body, izumi and the cast ran over to misumi and tsumugi to just hold them for a minute. It was scary as hell for the people who had never seen an near-accident like that, and rattled the people who had seen worse. Since then, posters were put up by the catwalk to secure all loose items and misumi enlisted hisoka to stand by during complicated productions. ~~~~~~~~~~~ sorry if this one feels a bit rushed, i had hit a mini writer’s block and this was the first thing i could come up with! i will be finishing up any requests that have been sent in, and i thank you all for being patient with me !! :)
