- [ I'll be adding more prompts throughout the week featuring the event stuff in question. If you would like to plot with me, feel free to drop me a DM or tag me in the plotting post. I'm always more than happy to make a starter or two. So don't be shy. Also, you're welcome to make your own starters as well. ]

He frowns, thinking about what Dante just said. It wasn't magic...)
... Didn't sense anything different from them. (But there's a catch and he mumbles,) Haven't been able to sense much here, though...
(Would he have felt it? He isn't sure. )
Feels more like tech to me but I'm not an expert or nothing.
(Really, he's bad at thinking.)
no subject
No, you're right. This definitely looks like modern tech to me. [A little too modern for his liking, especially since Jigoku-cho in general gives him the late 80s vibes.] This is the kind of bullet you would see nowadays, not in a spot like Jigoku-cho.
It also be rather expensive.
[This whole incident wasn't carried out by some ragtag team of mercenaries. That much is apparent but who has the funds for something like this? Dante can't help but wonder.]
Rumor has it that the Kappa are ingenious crafters and all, but this looks to be beyond their scope of expertise.
no subject
He's quiet, listening to Dante and making a note of his observations. He isn't familiar with firearms. He isn't even familiar with anything close to whatever time period Jigoku-cho resembles. His work has never really taken him beyond the early Meiji and he's never left the contained areas of the ministry hall or the citadel which use a completely different type of technology than what he's really seen here.)
But it's here. (The bullet and all of the weird stuff the attackers used before,) Unless ya think people are time traveling or something, it came from somewhere here.
(He reaches out to point at the bullet now in Dante's hand-- at a place where something once was but is no longer legible,)
What d'ya think about this?
(He's not an expert but even he can tell it looks... weird.)
no subject
[If time-traveling really is involved, then Dante's at a loss for words. He wouldn't know what to do about all that. He's used to fighting demons, not time-traveling. That's above his pay grade and he's long overdue for a bonus.]
To be brutally honest, I think our little ninja friends are packing enough hardware to do us all in if they choose. [He admits before tossing the bullet back towards the kid.] However, we're not the intended targets. The Big Four are, or rather the Big Three now.
[The assassins were content enough to leave the Lost Souls alone at first. That is until Dante and several others decided to jump into the fray. Had none of them interfered, he assumes the assassins would've never attacked them. However, that's a big assumption on his part.]
Expect a repeat of today's episode, kid. We're in hot water now.
no subject
Don't mention time travel to Hizen who immediately ages 500 years back into the Heian era over that.)
No one cares for a bunch of nobodies.
(The Lost Souls. He means them. No one is going to care about anyone at the bottom of the food chain unless they can be used. That seems obvious to Hizen.
He holds out his hand. He'd like his bullet back, Dante. He's more focused on immediate things than things in the future. Being warned to expect more of this to come though? He lets out a sound that is something like a groan and a sigh,)
What a pain. (And he really does sound tired.) ... Can't even get hot water at home.
(Is that......... a joke........... it's hard to tell when he's completely deadpan in his delivery.)
no subject
[Good question, right? It's clear that the Lost Souls have some sort of value but not in terms of this incident.]
Geez, talk about being down bad. [He comments with a lighthearted chuckle.] I don't think I caught your name, kiddo.
[To be fair, introductions always seem to come last for Dante. He never been a stickler for manners and he never will.]
I'm Dante and you are?
no subject
(The glass isn't just half empty with him; it's totally empty. There's not an ounce of optimism here.
There are plenty of nobodies and they can all be replaced with more nobodies once they've served their purpose. He doesn't think they're special. He just thinks they're easy.)
... Hizen.
(And he's not a kiddo but he doesn't feel like explaining this.)
no subject
Nice to meetcha but I wish it was under better conditions.
[He states with a cheerful little grin. Dante is friendly to a fault sometimes. This is in direct contrast to his domineering brother but thankfully Vergil isn't here.]
Tell me, what do you know the leaders besides Toraguma? Has there been any interesting rumors about them? I know the blue boss man really hates the sexy fox lady.
no subject
Dante smile sand Hizen just looks at him. Expression flat, eyes dark, and there's just no real expression.)
Get the feeling she doesn't like him much either. (He shrugs,) They seem like opposites.
(And you know. Oil and water.)
no subject
They seem like "evil exes" if you ask me.
[He mutters as he recalls all the times Toraguma referred to Tenkohime as a "bitch". If this became a drinking game, Dante would actually die from liquor poisoning.]
I'm not sure if they dated or not but they give off that impression. Toraguma is always ranting and hollering about the sexy fox lady.
no subject
...
(Wait. He's quiet, eyes going wide with surprise because what is that supposed to mean. Evil exes? He thinks about Toraguma and Tenkohime...
TORAGUMA AND TENKOHIME?
Like that?
Is that what they're like? Is that how they act? He's never going to look at the two of them talking about each other same way ever again.)
You think they're like that? (He sounds caught off guard by all of this. He's confused,) I thought they just hated each other!
no subject
[Dante laughs as he gives Hizen a playful wink. No one really knows what's the deal between Toraguma and Tenkohime but he thinks they act like scorned lovers than just mere rivals/]
Think about it! The old blue boy looks like he's around the fox babe's age and neither of them is ugly.
[Toraguma is pretty "hot" for an Oni. Most of the blue dudes have a face only a mother could love but not Toraguma.]
Besides, there's far too much animosity between them just for this to be some boring ass rivalry.
no subject
No thanks.
(He will not think about how hot Toraguma and Tenkohime are, thank you very much.)
They're just youkai. It doesn't gotta be that deep. Spirits and demons don't need reasons to be weird or petty.
(There are a bunch of stories of youkai just doing things for the heck of it. Hell, he lives with some back home. Tsurumaru Kuninaga and his obnoxious love of pranks for the hell of it.)
And even if it was true, it wouldn't matter anyway! None of that's got anything to do with this.
no subject
[Youkai or not, they're still individuals in his eyes. Then again, Dante has a rather unique perception in all this, especially since he's a half-demon. While there's some truth in Hizen's assessment of the two leaders, he really thinks something major happened between them. Let's just say it's a gut feeling.]
But whatever, I'm just speculating~ [Judging from his light and airy tone, he's just fooling around.] But in any case, prepare for the second act of this epic shit storm we're in.
I'm expecting Tora-daddy to put us to work soon.

(Fuck, he wishes he could unhear that?)
