Does Queer In The Context Of LGBT+ (and Just In General) Not Literally Mean "out Of The Ordinary"? I

Spoilers for episode 7 of Tokyo Debunker (typing suggestions wrote this this time)

I love him. And the tree is getting better!!! Yay!!!

I'm sorry, but the whiplash going from "we're breaking into a hospital" to "the love tree is healing" to "slacker and paralegal talk ramen" is killing me.

"oh, I'm just a clerk. The manager is over there." And he points to a fuckin cat. I swear Cats are like the lizard people of Darkwick Campus. Students are chatting in the hall like "I hear we're having a sub today" "I swear to God if the sub is another goddamn cat I'm gonna lose my mind" "c'mon dude, we both know it's gonna be a cat, don't kid yourself."

These take. An embarrassingly long time to complete.

Headcanon that TDBK MC can talk to cats.

That's not all, there's a ripple I swear-

(before I get too deep into this- besides it being a headcanon my reasons include: tutorial cat wondering how we understand it, the cats are probably an anomaly as with the campus, the ring can already do some crazy shit, EP 3 and 6 imply anomalies can be more than smart enough for communication)

So, we know from EP 3 at the latest that Darkwick knows pretty much anything that happens regarding Missions or the Ghouls. And what do we find in almost if not all backgrounds? A cat. They also deliver messages, and work, and whatever else. (i have a show going on in the background that I'm paying attention to and it makes it hard to think)

Point is, they probably know everything regarding everything. If MC could talk to the cats, it would make things so funny.

(Let's assume she only learns about this ability after the first 7 chapters, bc that's what I feel like writing. Also campus interactions happen after the first 7 chapters. Probably.)

Imagine MC is playing chess with Tohma (see: cheating at chess by making up rules and defending them with nonsense bc it's the only way she can win) and a cat meows from the other side of the room. A few minutes later Tohma says he's gonna check on Jin and MC says "don't. He's in a terrible mood." Tohma raises an eyebrow but checks on Jin anyway. MC was right. Jin's mood was actually worse than usual.

Leo tells her to hurry to Vagastrom again and, again, doesn't explain why. When she gets there, and Leo tells her to sit down, she huffs and says " I'll only help you spy on Alan and Tohma if you apologize for trying to make me seem useless on the Takeru mission." Sho can be heard choking from by the kitchen. She added those details on purpose. If there's anyone she wants to feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and disturbed, it's Leo. She feels like he deserves it.

Towa is hanging out out a tree, looking around Jabberwock from said tree. MC walks by, hears a meow from a few feet away as a cat walks past, and looks up to see Towa hanging out up there. "Hey there buddy. Whatcha up to?" She asks, and Towa hums, holding a hand flat above his eyes like a salute, and looking around with a squint. "Looking for Haru?" Towa nods. "He's breaking into Rens room right now. We'll probably hear Ren scream in the next few seconds." He does.

It takes make five minutes for MC to get to Sinostra after Romeo gets a hold on Kaito again. She barges into Taiga's room, grabs Ritsu by the wrist (who was lecturing Taiga again) and books it Romeos VIP room thing. When confronted with harassment laws or whatever, she reaches into his breast pocket and turns off his recorder before saying "help me with this as my business partner or I'll tell the authorities about you downing a martini in the Barong Mask mission. And or how Taiga ate it, and we didn't lose it. Or your harassing Jin." She said, before tossing the recorder back to Ritsu, flipping the lever (or however you turned that waterfall off) and tugging him into Romeo's basement.

Romeo gets defensive, Kaito is grateful, and, being Kaito, immediately looks directly past the red flags and starts crying tears of happiness at MC saving him.

There's a point where MC is in line for Sho's food truck, and she sees Subaru and Lyca in line, and moreover she feels a cat rubbing against her ankle, before it goes "mrowp" She knows what "mrowp" means. It's different than "Mrowp."

She pets it, takes out a boiled egg from a Tupperware box in her bag (this cats favorite) and hands it to the cat, who happily munches as MC walks over Subaru and Lyca. She makes a little small talk, and asks if they'd rather sit down at the benches and have her take their spot in line and get their food for them. When Subaru gets confused and insists that he's really fine, and she does not need to do that, she just puts on a strained smile and says "Leo is about to make his way to the food truck. I insist that you let me wait in the line while you hang out with the much more friendly Lyca instead of getting harassed by Leo."

Subaru has no clue how she knew Leo was coming, but she was right. Leo soon made his way over, talked to Sho for a good minute, and left. A minute later, MC was at the start of the line, placing the order. Soon, she was sitting at the table with Subaru and Lyca, when she got a text from Sho saying the food was ready, and she went over to get it. Subaru didn't notice until lunch was over that he never actually told her his order. Or Lycas. She had never even seen him and Leo interact at this point, how did she know Leo was going to harass him specifically?

Then there was that time she had to deliver papers to Rui when he was manning the bar. Haru and Romeo were there, both giving her their greetings before she started chatting with Rui about the papers. There was a pause in her and Rui's small talk as he signed them, where she heard Haru and Romeo talking about something she still didn't understand, despite how much the cats had to say about it. It never clarified anything. "Elias'll have it handled." She whispered with furrowed brows in tandem with Haru, who spoke much louder in his drunken stare. Neither Haru nor Romeo heard her. Rui, however, was insanely taken aback by... Everything about what she just said. By then, however, he was done with his signature, so she just gingerly grabbed the papers from his hand, and ran off with them again.

Oh, and one time Jiro's stitches had torn on his stomach while he was only a few feet away from the lab. He, like everyone else in Darkwick, failed to notice the tail dip just out of sight behind the railing, or the paws going down with it.

Again, it took less than five minutes for MC to burst into the lab unannounced. At which point, Yuri was still downstairs performing an autopsy, and Jiro was sitting patiently on the hospital bed in the corner of the room. Like usual for her when it came to any injury on the ghouls, she was extremely distressed. Jiro had explained before that this happened often and it was not a big deal for him, but she just grabbed a first aid kit off the counter as a familiar cat, one that Jiro sometimes saw peeking in while Yuri did check-ups, autopsies, or surgeries, strutted in from the window.

With a cat laying around her shoulders, MC grabbed the first aid kit, some disinfectant and numbing agent from the cupboards, and suturing supplies. With the occasional meow, mrrp, mro, and other cat noises, MC was able to suture Jiro's wound shockingly well, especially with how she had literally never done so before. He had a suspicion for the reason, but when he asked if she could understand the car, she said no, and he figured whether it was a lie or not he didn't feel the need to pry.

It was when Yuri asked him why there was a neat little bow at the top of the suturing that he recalled the situation, and realized that MC had literally no other reason to be in the lab, evidenced by the fact that she left immediately after, and that it was actually insanely suspicious that she somehow knew within only a few minutes that his wound had reopened. Especially without him mentioning it to anyone.

....

Um. So this was a small idea, and somehow my brain escalated one paragraph for the Frostheim example to four for Mortkranken.

Anyway, this was my self-imposed writing quota for the day. I started it in Tumblr for some reason so I guess I'm posting this now. I like cats and the idea of MC knowing way more than she should for no discernable reason makes me happy. Like yeah, you go girl, make those guys with several advantages over you in a fight insanely uncomfortable! Give them a reason to fear you! Be omnipresent through way of cat spies! Incite anxiety and concern within your social circle even when ur not there! If you can't make sure ppl talk about you positively when ur not present, make sure they do so out of fear. >:3

There's probably plenty of typos and spelling mistakes, but I don't feel like looking through for corrections so UP IT GOES

"I want to be a dragon."

:(

May I just say- as a new Tokyo Debunker player, (as of last week,) currently in Hotarubi episode (have been for half of that week, pls help me I can't fail these cases anymore I wish Taiga just threw us out that window-) I am extremely scared to keep playing.

I mean, Episode one, scary, episode 2, horrifying, episode 3, Haru almost died, episode 4 was sorta tame if you ignore... Taiga's existence.

But between the lack of gore in EP. 4 and the lack of gore in EP. 5 (that I've played so far) I am extremely worried for what is to come. This feels like the calm before the storm.

My guard is constantly up I am so prepared to have a corpse or two hurled at me while playing this game I refuse to fall for a false sense of security ALSO PLEASE HELP ME PASS THESE CASES I CANT SEE "DEFEATED" ONE MORE TIME HOW THE HELL DO I WIN THIS 50 IS KICKING MY ASS

oh yeah and Tumblr is now my personal sounding board for Tokyo Debunker related thought hijinks
