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. ]]

[starshepard]

Sounds like a challenge. Do we have a map or anything?

[no_kyouken]

No, could use one. That sounds a little easier than th'sewers even; gettin' into one'a th'offices.

[starshepard]

Maybe I can see about doing that. Would making an investigation down there easier.

[no_kyouken]

Would. Wanna take point on it, or ya need some help? I ain't from here exactly, but I'm yakuza. I know about how those offices are gonna be laid out.

[starshepard]

Your expertise would be most welcome. Everything here is rather foreign to me.

[no_kyouken]

Sure. We can go to the admin district and scope out th'office. Least some binoculars might be handy.

[starshepard]

Sounds good. Just let me know when and where you'd like to meet.

[no_kyouken]

Theater square, s'where everybody meets up.

[ Sutoku territory, easy to blend in with everyone else out shopping and not look like you're doing anything nefarious at all. ]

[starshepard]

Alright. We doing this now?

[ If so she'll start making her way to the square. ]

[no_kyouken]

Yeah, we got a time limit 'fore this parade happens.

[ And they'll need time still to get everyone together and coordinated. ]

[starshepard]

[ She isn't sure how long it'll be until the parade is meant to happen but now works just fine for her. ]

Okay. I'll make my way over to the Square.

[no_kyouken]

I'm real easy t'spot, taller than most'a th'human lookin' ones. Long hair, eyepatch.

[ Really easy. ]

[starshepard]

Easy enough, then. See you in a few!
