Formerly powerful executive of the port mafia L/N Y/N decided to take the plunge to roam in new territory. Risking it all, you now find yourself in a predicament as your life slowly begins to deteriorate in both relationships and careers
Noteable Pl...
"Let me guess, and Ice User?" You deadpanned, seeing the figure being stabbed through by many thick icicles.
"Exactly," Kunikida nodded.
"In other words.. Skill Users all over the world are being killed... by the very skills they wield after this fog disappears," an elderly man summarised. "Is that the extent of it?"
President Fukuzawa Yukichi, one whose background no one knew. His Skill, All Men are Equal, allows for his employees to control and use their ability at will, without fear of hurting someone or themselves in the process.
"Could the fog be causing it somehow?" A child asked.
Miyazawa Kenji, a child who'd grown up on a farm, who only recently moved here after being scouted by the President. His Skill, Undefeated by the Rain, gave him insane amounts of strength provided he was hungry at the time.
"We know of at least a hundred and twenty-eight similar incidents," Kunikida explained. "Over five hundred Skill Users killed. The Special Division for Unusual Powers uses the term "Serial Skill User Suicide Phenomenon" to refer to this chain of events."
Suddenly, Kunikida perked up, as if he'd remembered something.
"Speaking of suicide, where is that fool Dazai?" Kunikida asked, turning to Atsushi.
"He thought up a new suicide method... so he said he was skipping this meeting," Atsushi whimpered.
"That Belligerent Oaf!!!!" Kunikida yelled in frustration.
"I see," Ranpo hummed, slamming his fist down onto his open palm.
He opened a safe, and locked up all his snacks inside it, much to everyone's confusion. Unfortunately, when Kenji tried to ask, Ranpo shrugged it off as a secret, leaving you in the dark.
"So.. when they touch this fog... Skill Users wind up taking their own lives?" A ginger checked.
Tanizaki Junichiro, possibly the most average of everyone in the office. His ability, Light Snow, was a versatile one for it allowed him to create any illusion at his will.
"I'll never let that happen!" A black haired girl whined, clinging to him. "You aren't allowed to kill yourself and leave me behind!"
.... and that was his sister, Tanizaki Naomi. No one truly understood their relationship, and decided to not question it in case your fears were proven to be true. Still, it was obvious that the two cared for each other a lot.
"So, how does all this relate to us?" A lady with a butterfly hairclip asked. "You're not just telling us this... as a warning, are you?"
Yosano Akiko, the Agency's Doctor. Her Skill, Thou Shalt Not Die, was a healing ability that was rare even amongst ability users. She was the most valuable asset of the Armed Detective Agency, for without her, you couldn't do any of the dangerous missions you usually did.
"The Special Division wants us to look into this," Kunikida sighed. "They have intel that a man believed to be related to these suicides has infiltrated Yokohama. They'd like us to investigate and apprehend him."
Kunikida clicked onto the next screen, allowing all of you to read the information about this man.
"Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, aged twenty-nine," you hummed.
"All we know is that he has some skill, and goes by the alias 'The Collector'," Kunikida explained.
"'The Collector'?" Atsushi gasped, freezing.
"Something wrong?" You asked.
"Are you alright?" A young girl checked.
Izumi Kyoka was the newest recruit, one who came in less than a month after Atsushi did. Her Skill, Demon Snow, was one that used to be controlled by the mafia to use her as an assassin. Ever since she was employed, she'd been able to use her skill as she wanted to face against evil.
"No," Atsushi shuddered. "It's nothing."
"The Armed Detective Agency will take on this assignment," Fukuzawa decided. "The victims in this case have all been Skill Users. This is to protect all of you at the agency, but more than that, I feel...this case could cause even greater peril to society. We will do everything in our power to find this man. The search begins now."
By the time the late-night meeting ended, Fukuzawa decided to send Tanizaki and Kunikida out to meet up with a Special Divisions agent, in the hopes of collecting more intel. Everyone else, was sent back to their rooms, to rest for the night. For some reason, you couldn't sleep tonight, so headed onto the balcony to grab a smoke instead.

You rolled your eyes in annoyance and blew out a puff of smoke.
Except, the smoke didn't clear away after a few seconds like it usually did. Instead, it only got thicker, floating not only around you, but also expanding to reach the ground. It didn't take a genius to put two and two together.
You were trapped in the fog.
As if things couldn't get any better, you noticed that there wasn't any signal anymore, meaning you couldn't use your phone to contact the rest of the agency. You had to find Dazai, and fast. He was probably the only one who wouldn't be affected by this mess, due to his nullification ability.
You just had to hope that you could find him in time.
