01.) HANAMI.

//////////////////////////////////////////////// CHERRY BLOSSOM GROVES ////

( Sometimes Samatoki stays away from food; even back in Hakagemachi he was prone to avoiding it after a certain incident with the ramen shop there.

Still. Nothing seems off here, as far as he can tell, and his Oni has taken to goading him about eating. Just fuckin' do it. I shouldn't have to look after you like this.

Yeah, yeah.

He ends up getting a bento, sitting beneath a tree in the name of people-watching as he eats. Some time through the process of careful eating, he's stricken with a need to get up and— )

Fuck — my bad.

( Samatoki finds himself standing in front of someone before he can realize he's even up; the display must be bizarre. He shakes his head, feeling strange in his head and his limbs. This happens sometimes: the Oni inhabiting his head seems to meld with him, making it hard to discern who's doing what.

There's warm feelings for the person in front of him, warm feelings he doesn't feel so bad about. )

Hope I didn't freak you out. This, ah, happens sometimes.

( He mumbles the last part a bit. )

02.) HOT BATHS.

//////////////////////////////////////////////// TAMAMO BATHHOUSE ( NSFW ) ////

( Where the warm feelings of the bento wore off after he left the groves, the effects of the whiskey he'd downed don't seem to be going away any time soon.

He feels hazy; there's no sign of Genkei in his head, and it seems that's been happening more frequently as well. Where it used to be unnerving at first, now it's fine and even welcome — he doesn't need Genkei's input while he makes his way into the brothel.

The sights and sounds give him something of a pause in his typically quick and sure movements. Can't stop watching others playing together. At least, until he gets so riled up he needs to get under someone now.

With little clue as to how he got there exactly, he does find himself underneath someone in one of the rooms. His awareness crashes into him, pulling apart from the other with only a small measure of confusion.

Can't argue with this much. )

03.) A NIGHT PARADE TO REMEMBER.

//////////////////////////////////////////////// POST-SPEECHES ////

( Fighting is what Samatoki's good at, feels like, but as the confusion and chaos and violence wears on, he finds himself shot through the thigh and the ribs.

It's not nearly enough to stop him, but the person with him seems to think otherwise, insistent on him backing off and keeping out of the chaos.

He's belligerent about it, of course. )

Aye—fuck you, let me get back in there!! I'll take your fuckin' head off if you don't—
