Notes: Majima is a snake man from Slumscape! Covered in a sheen of white scales, snake eyes, split tongue, tail, fangs.

Doms Wanted!

[ Majima is out on the street with a night queen, also with a hand of exasperation dragging down his face, ]

Fuck's sake. It ain't that hard, lady. Just tell him he's disgustin'.

[ He shoots a contemptuous sideways look at the sniffling pig yokai at her feet. Who pipes up helpfully, ]

Hey, he's pretty good at this, maybe I should ask for him.

[ Majima bristles like a cat. Bursting out noisily, ]

Shut it, you!

[ Hrr. He turns is attention back to the girl once again trying to explain how to just be fucking scornful. She keeps closing her eyes and meekly repeating after him, shaking her nine tail whip punily.

Majima has both hands on his face, head tilted back, before long. ]

High Definition

[ Oh... Majima knows better than this one. His lip curls incredulously when he's asked to participate ]

No thanks.

[ He points at whoever is nearby too, ]

Y'all shouldn't either.

[ But he's not hanging around to babysit anyone. What is he, your mother? He carries on his way, slouched with his hands in his pocket. But of course nobody listens to him, it can't be so bad, right?

He pauses later in the night, a cigarette drooping from his lip as he watches some truly bizarre behavior. ]

All right there?

[ His tone conveys that he really doesn't want to be bothered with this, but here he is and he's a little too soft to just walk away. ]

Look at this sweet jacket

[ Majima listens to this story about the jacket. Tilt to the side the take a look at the back of it. It doesn't seem that damn cool, or that damn inflammatory, but he has definitely seen guys throw down over someone's jacket in Sotenbori before... ]

Yeah, all right, I'll help ya cross the bridge...

[ A sigh. He rolls up his shirt sleeves in preparation for a fight. Maybe someone with a little more attention to detail will notice that all is not at it seems and come enlighten him to the plight of Hasihime. Otherwise Majima's taking this at face value and muscling his way through this. ]

Welcome to the Night Parade

[ Majima doesn't trust... anyone in this town, really. A place like this, you need to take just about everyone with a grain of salt. So he sneaks a little closer to what the Kappa are doing. He's not so sure he likes what he sees: Lots of extremely carefully covered cases are being quickly taken further into the city's underground, suspiciously more than one might need to simply be building some parade floats or decorations.

He comes back from the sewers chewing on a cigarette. He takes out his phone and gets on the network then, ]

We got anybody real stealthy wanna come take a look at somethin' with me? Make it worth your while.

[ He did get that advance from the Enma, he can turn it over for this. ]

[[ooc: Here is the current info on the Kappa mission. Once I know about your skillset, we can put that to the mods and move forwrd. ]]

Comments

[harimaya]

(At least he seems to know what he's talking about? So Hizen doesn't feel crazy,)

Said his name was Majima.

(Which is not Chijoku?)

[no_kyouken]

[ Majima rolls his good eye, putting in the orders for food and handing over some cash. He steps back from the cart to wait and says, ]

Don't go tellin' people yer me.

[ The papery sound of hissing laughter. ]

That isn't what I said.

[harimaya]

(Hey what the heck. He bristles.)

Didn't give me any other name!

(So of course he's going to assume that was his name!)

[no_kyouken]

I said drinks were on Majima.

[ The man in question shakes his head in annoyance. ]

M'Majima, he's Chijoku. An' he's a lush.

I've been drinking longer than you've been alive.

[harimaya]

(What is happening... Hizen is confusion. He is not a smart sword? He's just watching this exchange... also being a part of it? Suddenly its a multi-way conversation but its just two people?




Oh wait is this like, time for introductions? He thinks it is. Ah, he doesn't know.)

... Hizen.

(It's clear from the look on his face he's confused and has some questions. He could ask politely or he could just ask,)

The hell is going on?

[no_kyouken]

I'm possessed.

[ He exhales smoke out of the corner of his mouth in a compressed stream. ]

[harimaya]

(Surprised and.... not. It explains things but,)

You sound pretty calm about it.

(Most people? Do not want to be possessed?)

[no_kyouken]

Nothin' t'be done about it.

[ He leans into the metal fence posting surrounding an small area of trees and bushes. ]

He owes me his life.

That too.

[harimaya]

...

(He's just going to watch him (them?) for a moment as if trying to see if Majima is really as nonchalant about the whole deal like he's acting. In the end, though? Hizen isn't a very personable person.)
's not really my business...

(So there's really no reason for him to question it anymore than that. Or so he thinks. This will certainly change when he realizes Majima and Izo are from the same place.)

If you're sharing a body though... you should be careful. (Even if Majima doesn't look entirely human, Hizen can take a guess that those might have something to do with the possession itself considering the vibes he gets from Chijoku,) Humans... people got limits to what their bdoeis can take. Even if you aren't all human.

(Considering Majima didn't recognize Hizen? He kind of assumes he doesnt remember much of the night and that leads him to think the next morning might have been rough.)

[no_kyouken]

He will be fine.

[ Majima's good eye rolls up again, shaking his head with annoyance. ]

He's been told, he don't like t'listen when he wants somethin'.

[ Speaking of things they want... The man at the cart calls out that the food is ready, so Majima turns back to take the trays. He holds one out to Hizen. ]

Don't worry 'bout us, I'll handle him.

[ Chijoku laughs. ]
