Why should you read Dance of Demons?
It's gritty, it's angsty, it's gay, and if any of this gets you...
Why not?

While horses, carts, and carriages are all available, Daisuke and Obito usually just walk. It's less fuss if they decide to stay at an inn, fewer mouths to feed on the way, and generally more private (preferred for both professional and less wholesome reasons 🤭)

What methods of transportation do your characters usually use to get around?
Horses, ships (water, space, air), cars, walking, other?

I associate Daisuke with purple, blue, and black, and Obito with green, red, and gold.
Their "field"/informal uniforms are gray with brownish trousers and a blue (Daisuke) or red (Obito) undershirt with a matching cloth belt. Formal uniforms are all black, and they get the hanfu when they rank up

Daisuke always carries his tanto, some tiny bottles of poison, and a few coins.
Obito always carries his tanto, kyoketsu-shoge, journal, and money.
Mostly, this is to prepare for combat situations, but some of it is also because they just kinda forget when they have the dangerous stuff on them 😅🤣

Daisuke likes the convenience of being in a city, but he also enjoys spending time outside. Obito likes city life, too, but he's not as much of a fan of the outdoors as Daisuke is 😅
They travel a lot between books 2 and 4, though, so neither complains much unless it's too hot (above 65F)

How does your character feel about nature?
Do they like the outdoors? Have good survival skills?
Or do they prefer the comforts and amenities of a city?
Some combination of both?

There's tension between Emperor Akuwara and the High Priestess, Akuwara and Yujin, and Yujin and Ewah. Then Lady Shadow’s relationship with Kanashimi.
Things with Akuwara, Yujin, the Priestess, and Ewah are more politically inclined, while Lady Shadow’s contribute to what the main boys need to do

Is it in the same genre as your main work? E.g. romance in the background of horror?

Daisuke's hair is long-ish (around the shoulder blades), black, and silky. He usually keeps it in a ponytail, but also likes half styles. He rarely lets it hang free if he's out and about.
Obito's hair is less complicated lol. It's a deep brown, soft, shoulder-length, and kind of choppy. 🧵?

If it's just the main two idiots, Obito can convince Daisuke to push through it and finish the project with him. If they’re with more people, it's probably gonna be a very unamused Shinta doing the work while Daisuke hides, Obito goes to find him, and Junpei tries wrangling both of them

Huh. Now that I think about it, neither of them like being touched all that much. I thought it was just Obito, but...Daisuke doesn't really enjoy it, either. He'll touch OTHER people for psychological reasons, though.
Granted, if they’re touching each other. Well. That's a very different story 💀

If Daisuke's busy, he lets it ring. If he’s bored (gods help us all), he'll pick it up even if it's a telemarketer. He can mess with them 😅
Obito just lets it ring. If he doesn't have the number saved , he doesn't know them. If he doesn't know them, they shouldn't be calling 💀

An unknown number calls.
Do they pick up?
Do they prefer text? If text, do they answer right away?
Is it ringtone or vibrate?
