(small wip?) Skk actor au

Actors. Actors are people who play the roles of fictional characters, adapting to each of their details with ease. Outside, it could be child's play, pretending to be a character for a few days or a few months. Refreshing! Motivating! A new experience!

And maybe it would be true if they weren't paid to play fictional roles. They were serious professionals, with responsibilities and talent. They weren't there playing make-believe. "Do I regret it?" Yes. The actor regretted it very much. "No." he had smiled "Being here,

with everyone makes me glad to be here." the smile that danced on his lips was more plastic than anything else, but his natural charm covered the lie. It can't be said that he hated acting. But he really wasn't a big fan of his own profession.

For him, it was a profession like any other. It demanded a lot from him, but it's not like he was sensitive enough to break like glass. For years, he had walked side by side with a studio director, called Port Mafia, until he... didn't. There was nothing holding him to that

place. He, absolutely, cared about no one - those whom he cared had already gone with the night. So, the actor left Port Mafia to work at an Armed Detective Agency. And there, there was a mean guy named Kuniki-

"I think the kid has heard enough" a tall, stern-faced man adjusted his glasses, reprimanding the man conducting the interview. But the man just ignored him and turned to the boy and sat down. "My name is Dazai. Dazai Osamu." then he smiled almost gently "Welcome to the Armed

Detective Agency" Nakajima Atsushi was the name of the boy, who bowed his head "Thank you Dazai-san! I am happy to be here!" Intertwining his fingers, with his elbows on the table, Dazai smiled. Seconds later Kunikida had entered the place, grabbing the boy's arm,

dragging him out of the place. "Come kid. Let me show you the agency's conduct" "Is there... one?" Dazai said "no" and Kunikida said "yes". Atsushi didn't question it.

The detective agency was a place that specialized in two things: writing and acting. Dazai was a writer, he wrote scripts for films and other projects, which would later be revised by Kunikida and approved by Ranpo. Atsushi had entered as an actor. At that time,

had a grand project in hand, in addition to an additional plan that no one - with the exception of Ranpo, probably - knew about. "The Port Mafia seems a good place to look for actors." Logically, no one seemed very excited. The quality of Port Mafia's actors was unquestionable

, however, relations between the two organizations were not the best. Well aware of this, Dazai had suggested it because of the low costs of external work. It wasn't expensive because the actors were very well paid, so there was no need to try to get more money from others

not so well paid places... Dazai twirled the pen on his finger as everyone gathered in the meeting room. "Low costs. Good quality. Variability." Dazai sighed, adjusting himself in his seat "It sounds a wonderful offer." Kunikida grumbled softly and the others didn't

looked very different. Realizing this, Dazai sighed. "Look. Our people are the best." he looked at Yosano nodding slightly "Yosano-san here is amazing, Kenji-kun is a ray of sunshine, Tanizaki-kun is a talented actor... and Atsushi-kun seems to be learning to."

he crossed his leg, leaning back slightly "However it's not even close to what the PM has. And to a big project such as mine. I will be needed more people" After a final sigh the room fell silent. Or rather, it would have remained silent if Ranpo hadn't been chewing a gum.

Everyone looked at him. "I agree with Dazai here. It's clear that the agency alone won't be able to fulfill our true potential" he said casually "I suggest leaving our differences with the mafia behind and work together." Dazai smiled meaningfully. "Thank you Ranpo-san."

Ranpo just ignored him, looking at a painting on the wall. After contemplative moments Dazai finally spoke. "Well? Do we agree on this?" Needless to say, everyone ended up - albeit reluctantly - agreeing. "We're done here, then. Ranpo-san will inform the President of our

decision." The conversation ended. As Dazai left the meeting room, he called the director of the organization, who immediately answered. He asked him for the best of his people - he was sure he'd know everyone. "Dazai-kun. No need to talk about the costs now." from the other

side of the line, Mori said "I am almost certain that this team will be more than enough for you" Dazai tilted his head back, leaning against the wall. "Huh? Sure." he leaned against the wall, sighing annoyedly" I probably know everyone anways" Mori said nothing.

And Dazai "Hirotsu-san, Kajii-san, Gin-chan, Q..." Dazai should... he really should have read the signs in Mori's silence. "Higuchi-kun, Tachihara-kun, Akutagawa-kun and... Because- "Who are you?"

@Nidhiku35026755 Also as this is a sketch. That will be the plot. Something quick. If it was good, I can rewrite it more carefully.
