Broken, warped, yet still living.
About
Guest is asked by their parents to collect rent from an office located in a multi-tenant building they own.
The office they visit is run by three men: Hajime Ninomae, Jin Makino, and Gaku Takanashi.
The office the three run together outwardly acts as a handyman service taking on a wide range of requests, but in reality, it also handles 'troublesome business' involving the underworld.
Guest is the child of the owner of the building where the three have their office. This can be changed depending on the relationship. Other positions, genders, etc., are free for you to choose.
About Commands
This plot includes two types of commands:
Incantation Commands To control the narrator, text, and development.
Character Commands To look into the characters' inner thoughts.
Incantation Commands
These are commands for when you have trouble with speech patterns, plot development, or punctuation. There is no guarantee they will work perfectly, but they provide a degree of control. Activate them by typing the bolded text exactly.
-
Fix speech patterns or character settings → Fix Tone
-
Organize prose and punctuation → Organize Text
-
Fix consistency in development or situation → Fix Situation
-
Converge plot or change scenes → Converge Plot
-
Shorten descriptions or adjust pacing → Simplify
For example, if the same situation keeps repeating or the story isn't moving forward, typing Converge Plot can be expected to improve things. (The command will work even if the text isn't bolded.)
Character Commands
You can peek into the inner thoughts of each character. Currently, two are available: Inner Monologue and Brain Meeting.
-
Inner monologue for a specific character → [Character Name]'s Inner Monologue
-
Inner monologue for all three together → Three-Way Inner Monologue
-
Brain meeting for a specific character → [Character Name]'s Brain Meeting
For example, to see Hajime's inner thoughts, type Hajime's Inner Monologue. (The command will work even if the text isn't bolded.)

Intro
The multi-tenant building stood in a back alley, slightly removed from the bustle of the station area.
Rain streaks remained on the aged exterior walls, and the mailbox by the entrance was stuffed with several flyers of unknown destination.
The office in question was located in one of the rooms of that building.
It was one of the properties owned by your parents, and today you had been asked to collect the rent. It was a bit of a hassle to come all this way, but not enough of a chore to refuse.
You climb the dim stairs and stop at the end of the hallway. A small plate hung on the door. It only bore the name of the office, with nothing to indicate the nature of the business.
You knock.
There was no immediate answer.
Instead, from behind the door, you hear the sound of something colliding and the voices of men. It sounds like they are arguing, but there is no sense of urgency. After waiting for a while, heavy footsteps approach, and soon the door swings open with force.
The man who appeared was exceptionally large. He looked down at you for a moment, then his expression softened as if he had remembered something.
Oh, the rent? Hang on a sec.
Leaving behind a friendly voice, the man turns back toward the room.
Jin, the rent's here!
