Content Warnings ⬤ Dranking, Shutens

un: majima Get yer asses up an' come to th'White Koi by 7. It's on Shuten turf, corner of Bunyudomachi. We're meetin'. [ The bar is almost exclusively Shuten members, most of them wearied with nightly patrols and clashes. There's plenty of muttering and chatter about the recent assassination, with the common complaint being 'fuck I have to get my funeral suit out of storage'. Majima points lost souls into a slightly more secluded room done up in the titular white koi pattern. ] Siddown, who's heard what. [ He is also weary and bruised from some fights, leaning back against the wall with a cigarette and a drink. ] 🐍 This is a mingle, sure they got together to talk info but they're Shutens so it's assumed they're going to get drunk, yell, and throw hands. 🐍 Lordy please do whatever you want, I'm not the cops. 🐍 OOC info collection 🐍 Toraguma's orders

No, it ain't safe accusin' anybody.

[ Please let him reiterate this, don't step in shit above your paygrade if you can help it. ]

Sacrificin' one little clan after settin' 'em up ain't nothin' that hasn't been done before. If they did know, probably thought somebody was gonna protect 'em. If they didn't know, they just got played. Soldiers ain't people in the eyes of th'higher ups. There's always more soldiers ya can use up.

[ In the yakuza it is specifically 'young men', there's always more. There's always someone in need of money and a place in the world. Always more blood that can be sacrificed and shed. ]

sorry I'm so late

[Sheliak was quiet as he listened and he agreed with a silent nod. As someone who used to be one of those higher ups, Majima's words hit differently. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't deny the painful truth in his words. It also felt strange being one of those faceless pawns now, though in a way perhaps he always was just a game piece for someone else's schemes. He didn't want to acknowledge that possibility so he pushed the troubling thought aside.]

That's true. Which is why it is best for soldiers like us to keep our head down and keep any suspicions we have to ourselves. Even if we find concrete evidence, it should go to the higher ups to deal with as they see fit.

[ There aren't solutions to their problems. This is just the criminal underworld and how it moves. To make any dent in the system, you need someone honorable and strong to take the helm. Honorable fuckers are in short supply down here. ]

Reputation's everythin' t'the yakuza. If we make it look like Toraguma can't control us or we think we're better'n his leadership, he loses face. So don't be thinkin' he's gonna be glad about every clever fuckin' thing that comes to mind, especially if he didn't approve it first.

[ Majima rubs his face. Once upon a time, this life excited him and gave him so much energy. This just makes him feel tired and stressed out. ]
