jigokulogs | In This Crooked Little Town What Is Lost is Never Found

[While the city may have been turning chaotic, between celebrations, assassinations, turf wars, and general insanity. Gojyo seemed to be getting himself nicely caught up in the simpler things.

The meeting with the rest of the Shuten Clan had been an interesting one. Besides Sheliak and Majima, it gave him an opportunity to meet quite a few others from his own clan.

Someone actually said it best, Gojyo thinks his name was Dante? The place was a regular sausage fest.

But it was interesting gauging others experience and compatibility with the clan. Seeing who had worked in similar circles before this and who was fresh and new to the seedy yet romantic life of organized crime.

And today he was meeting up with one of those aforementioned green members.

Go figure the ~~assumed~~ brat didn't even know how to wear a suit properly none-the-less how to fit in with such circles. And rather then watch him cause more trouble incidentally, Gojyo offered out a helping hand in helping him learn the general etiquette of things.

And so, he stood before Hizen's apartment door. Surprisingly just a few doors over from his own. Knocking casually as he sucked in on the end of the unlit cigarette dangling from his lips.]

Ooooy! Sha Gojyo here with your scheduled special services~! You ready to go take off those raggedy clothes of yours?

Edited 2022-04-15 00:20 (UTC)

(He really thinks about just ignoring whoever the hell is at his door. It's a day off and all he really wants to do is nap and snack but whoever is out there is making such a racket that he ends up going to answer it in the end. Door opening to reveal..... Hizen in all of his bed head and casual glory.)

Shut up. You're noisy.

(Oh, wait... it's that guy. They'd agreed to go out, hadn't they...

... Was that today? While his brain plays catch up, he snaps,)

There's nothing wrong with my clothes.

(A little torn, a little worn, and no effort in tying the bandages around his neck as usual but at least he's not walking around covered in blood and all raggedy like he would be back home??? )

[Dude.
Someone needs to teach you how to take care of clothes.]

Do you seriously think?

[Gojyo says as if not at all, hiding the implication that, yes, something is quite wrong with your taste in clothing.]

And hey, it took me yelling this long to get you out of your place, yeah? It isn't like we got all day. I booked us a pretty nice place for tailored fittings, you know?

[He offered a wide, bright grin. His playful personality does not seem to be brought down by Hizen's dower tone.]

(It's not his fault he keeps getting into fights and damaging his clothes.

He looks offended though. What's wrong with his clothes? Isn't it enough if it just keeps him covered and comfortable? His standards are so low. The look quickly gives way to... surprise, though.)

You're serious...?

(He actually... went through the trouble of booking a place and everything? A nice place?)

[Gojyo didn't know what to expect when he had heard that the Tamamo had managed to open up the bathhouses in their district to the general public.

Not that he didn't expect something to be up, it was the red light district, and he wasn't an idiot. But really, he was just curious about having a lovely calm and atmospheric experience where he could share a bath with some cute girls. Something casual and not too intense. Where he could meet up with like-minded people who didn't give so much of a shit regarding the restraints that most 'proper' society seemed to share.

What he was not expecting was the bathhouse to be an all-out fuck-fest. An area comprised of more bodies than there probably was water. It seemed to start casual at first. A couple of people met up, and most appeared to be Tamamo natives. And then more came in. And then they passed drinks around.

It seemed fun enough that even Gojyo found himself grabbing a glass or two of sake. Sake and a warm bath were fucking amazing. But then the crowd on the other side of the pool started getting friendly.

A little too friendly.

Now Gojyo sat here, watching what seemed to be a grouping of 20+ writing bodies just a dozen or so feet away. His eyes widened as he sat casually on the other side of the pool with amusement.

Admittedly it was a pretty impressive sight.

Should he get out of the pool?

It was probably a good idea before the water became more saturated with other things.

He took another sip at his drink. His head tilted as he watched someone in the mass of it all flex in a particularly unique position.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was how every night in the Tamamo district was.

He couldn't help but wonder how his friends that he knew were in Tamamo were fairing.]

[It wasn't the love of casual sex that brought Jin Guangyao here. It was money. And to build a good rapport with Tenkohime at that. He could deal with his own issues with sex later on when he was not on the clock.

So the writing bodies in the baths were impressive, They really were like a snake ball during mating season.]

I would get out of that bath if I were you Gojyo. I believe it is about 60% bodily fluids by now.

[He had snuck behind his friend, and squatted down, with his hands resting under his chin. His tails wagging in amusement. He was dressed in a short Happi coat, with his hair braided with peonies strung through it. His lips were painted the same vermillion as the mark on his forehead.]

Are you enjoying the view?

[Outside, Monts has returned from running an errand for some of the workers who have rotated out of the earlier rounds of the debauchery going on. One of the Nikusui youkai fuss over fixing Monts's hair and makeup and scolding her to fix her kimono so that she's presentable in front of the stream of customers who are eagerly waiting for their turn.

It just so happens that she overhears one of her coworkers chatting away about the "redhead with gills." They're giggling, excited about what he might have in store, and one of them making bets about who could get the most customers to succumb to their charms, starting with him.

Monts casually asks if she should refill the sake jars and gets the okay to do so.

She slides the door open, keeping it ajar behind her, eyes scanning the room. It doesn't take long for her to spot Gojyo in the pool who has a front seat to the action.]

Huh.

[It's starting to get hot and heavy, but her voice, light and casual speak up to get his attention.]

You definitely don't want to sit inside the water within the next few minutes. Just saying.

Edited 2022-04-21 03:39 (UTC)

[Truthfully, Gojyo had been so caught up in the wild display playing out before him that he had been entirely oblivious to the thought that he was being sized up as a potential profit.

What was a guy supposed to do to get a nice simple bath with a view? ~~And perhaps not bathe in bodily fluids in the process?~~

Even that would end up falling through the moment Monts made herself known.

The sweet tone of her voice against his ear caused his body to go on alert as he shuddered out. He instinctively grabbed the towel that rested at the edge of the bath and covered his more intimate locations before looking up at her in shock.]

Holy shit! Monts! What the hell!?

[Was he blushing? Nah. Perish the thought.

At least he seemed to calm down quickly enough the moment he managed to process. Sighing as his shoulders slouched, he shook his head.]

All I wanted was a pleasant, classy co-ed bath experience. Your clan certainly doesn't hold back, though.

[Having been with the Tamamo Clan for a while already (and honestly, just from personal experience back home), there are just so many naked bodies around, what's one more even if it's from Gojyo?

She stands up straight, smiling and shaking her head at him.]

Well, Tenkohime did tell everyone over the network what was going down in the bathhouses. I don't think there's a bathhouse where there isn't any action.

[Monts tilts her head at him, batting her eyelashes innocently.]

Classy? Not that I would know, but I'm guessing that an orgy is what one makes of it.

[She kneels down again, offering some more sake to Gojyo.]

Well, the night's still young and you don't have to jump into all this right away. Unless you're just gonna watch which I'm sure most of our customers like having voyeurs on the side.

Yeah.

Quite the view.

[Gojyo is giving the wriest of expressions with that. His eyes narrowed, and his smile strained as he sunk a little deeper with a slouch.]

You know, I've seen quite a lot of shit. I've frequented districts like this far more times than anyone should. But this is the first time I've seen a random orgy start of the blue in a publicly sanctioned space where just anyone could happen on by like this.

That's new.

[He turned to look up at Guangyao, expression unchanging.]

Usually, they're in some discrete location, with some password or payment needed to get in.

Is it always like this around here?

It is a special event. Our mistress's orders were to have fun and I suppose that people are taking her up on that. [He shifted enough to rest his chin on Gojyo's shoulder.]

But I admit it was not like this at all in the brothels either. Not unless a client paid a lot of money beforehand.

[Well there were times he had to get women like this for his dad and that one rather fatal time for him but you grow up around sex and it becomes rather blaze after a while.]

Have you been soaking here before the orgy started?

Eh? What do you mean?

[Did this guy really think he wouldn't follow though on his word of getting him a nice suit for the funeral?

Gojyo may not be the classiest guy in the world, but he certainly knew how to keep his word.]

Of course I'm serious. Don't tell me you thought I'd be getting us some cheap-ass suit rentals?

[He smirked with that.]

We're representatives of Shuten, yeah? That means if we don't look good than the boss-man doesn't look good. So it's only natural that we show everyone up and look as damn impressive as possible.

You're really enjoying this ain't ya?

[He couldn't help but look back at her with a wry smirk before slowly looking down with a sigh.]

Nah, I think I'm good for now.

[He may be a ball of pent up sexual frustration waiting to find release, but he had set standards for himself. As easy as this world made it for everyone, he just didn't want to go running headfirst into things without any tact.

If anything he wanted to at least see if he still had his own game about him. That he could seduce someone proper with his own effort before just running into the very first orgy he sees.

And so he stood up, all six feet of long limbs and tanned skin that he was. The scales which covered most of his back and shoulders glistening in the low light now that he had just gotten out of the bath.

Holding towel securely over his groin but otherwise not caring as he began to make his way to the shower.]

Dang it. Probably gonna have to rinse off again.

You coming?

[He still definitely wanted that sake.]

Mnnn~

[He leanded back against the side of the tub as he hummed out in response. His arms lifting to prop himself up against the ledge properly.]

Just went and started fucking right in front of me while I'm sitting here taking my bath. Can you beleive the sheer gall of it all?

[He said almost whimsically, before looking back up at his foxy-uncle in response.]

What about you? Don't tell me you're here to take part in that snake ball over there?

[His eyes narrowed as he smirked.]

The more you're here the pervier you get Uncle~

That is rather unfortunate. They just invaded your space and started an orgy here without asking. How very rude of them!

[He smiled playfully at his friend, his ears twitching. He moved back clutching his chest in mock innocence with a loud and very fake gasp.]

Oh! Oh goodness no! I am far too old and decrepit to be able to join in on that. I doubt my poor old man bones can even handle it. It may even crumble into dust.

No no.

I am just here to fill out my partner card. I offer all kinds of services a young person could want.

[He flashed a small card to him. Most of the spaces were filled up already. He gave him a cheeky grin.]

Want to help a bro out? [Did he pick up that language from Gojyo? Probably.]

Eh? 'Partner card'?

[It was with that that Gojyo's eyes fixated on the strange card that Guangyao had managed to dangle over him. He took note of the marks upon it. And then he focused on the words.

Huh.

So he was performing those sorts of services now?

(Did Gojyo's stray hairs twitch a little with that sudden piqued curiosity? Nah. No way. Stray hairs don't move on their own.)]

You can't just talk about how feeble and invalid you are only to pull something like that out on me. That's like, the opposite of how you should be advertising yourself.

[Not his fetish man.]

Edited 2022-04-27 02:34 (UTC)

[And he starts to laugh. Sha Gojyo was really fun to mess with and he can be playful in a way that he couldn't be with many others.]

I know. I was mostly joking. It has been a busy day. [Not that his back didn't hurt, but that was more to the abuse he had taken over the years than him really being that old.]

Look, you don't actually have to have sex with me or anything, I know you aren't a cut-sleeve. [He leaned back and stretched out his arms over his head. Maybe he was looking for an excuse to just hang out with his friend and call it work as well.]

I can give you a message and we can share some wine and stories and it should be enough. I mostly want to catch up.

You know that's what most people say to lure in unsure customers.

[He manages to laugh at that.

Damn. During all of Gojyo's time in this city, Jin Guangyao would be the first person to proposition him actively.

He wasn't sure how he felt about that.

Jin Ling would be horrified.]

I didn't think I was that interesting to you, uncle~♥ I Thought I felt too much like a cute nephew or something to you. Some street-runt you got to look down on and care for ~

[With that, he actively turned around in the tub. He fully faced his old friend with playful amusement.

It wasn't like he forgot how Guangyao acted during that night on stage.]

What suddenly changed your mind? You don't need to get me naked to catch up.

Is it? Is it? I would absolutely have no idea!

[This was said in a way that he very much would indeed have an idea.]

Oh, you're far too old to be a nephew, You're closer to my younger brother's age. And I would never look down on you. I adore street runts. I can be your Gege if you would rather that A-Jing.

[He laughed softly.]

Well, I'll be frank. I've had sex with people who were acquaintances and pushed myself further than I liked. Perhaps I just want to spend time with someone I know better and who knows me.

[Not like he trusts you or anything. B-baka.]

[Okay. Wow. That felt strange. No one had called Gojyo a nickname like that in a long, long time. It was enough of an intimate call-out that got him to look away for a brief moment in embarrassment. He awkwardly reached up to ruffle at the back of his head with his hand before coming up with a quick way to retaliate.

Which was hard to do when Guangyao mentioned having casual sex with other people before approaching him.]

Jeez, you've been at it, haven't you? Good on you.

[He is impressed. But still slightly worried about how he seems to be Guangyao's next target.

Oh boy.]

So I'm the first person you thought to approach about that? Have you got other people you know here?

[Why him? How did he become the first choice to become Guangyao's new didi]

Or, better question, what will I get out of this?

[He better get something good if you're risking his 'ladies guy' reputation like this.]

Well, maybe. Just a little.

[She tries not to laugh and just muffles it behind the sleeve of her kimono. As Gojyo stands up, Monts politely looks away until he's covered (man, he's tall; and it's hard not to glance at the scales on his back and how it contrasts against the scarlet red strands of his hair... Oh yeah, she's not looking shhh.)

With the towel on she looks at him, waving him off.]

I'll be up in the front actually. It's a busy night whether in here or out there.

[A beat. Her eyes light up with an idea.]

But I wouldn't mind if you whisk me away from work so we can actually have some festival fun. Whaddya say?

Skipping responsibilities for a night of fun and debauchery? Hell yeah, I'm willing to enable ya.

[He couldn't help but chuckle with that. His grin was ever-widening as he turned to wave Monts off casually before making his way towards the showers.]

I'll be right out! I just have to get off whatever the hell I just bathed in.

[Yeah, he wasn't going to think too hard about that.

Instead, Gojyo quickly made his way to the showers with a slight skip in his step.

For her, he wasn't going to hesitate to make sure he was clean and nicely dressed up for the occasion. Hell, he was even willing to do up his hair in a high ponytail and slip on his 'nice' jacket.

It wasn't long before he found his way to the front office, sneaking behind the counter (whether allowed to or not) just to playfully lean down behind her (whether helping a client at the moment or not).]

Sha Gojyo reporting, ready and willing to kidnap you out of this place~ ♥

[Thankfully, her own shenanigans in swatting away customers have died down (thanks to Chongyun's investigation), so she had just been sitting and greeting youkai as they file in for their turn in the bathhouse. Gojyo's caught Monts at a free moment and she pushes herself off of her seat behind the counter to turn and face him.]

Gojyo! I'm happy to let you know that I'm ready to be kidnapped.

[She's already made a beeline for the exit, waving Gojyo over to follow.]

So let's make the most out of your crime together, alright?

(He grumbles something,)

Didn't expect anything at all.

(He thought it was just an empty promise. But now he's embarrassed because the idea of having to wear nice clothes is so foreign to him but he gets it. Everyone's driven the point enough that he won't complain or argue about it.)

Fine. (He still doesn't like it,) 's all about appearances.

(Weird,)

... Let's get this over with.

Crime eh? So we're committing crimes now?

[He laughed out with that. Shoving his hands into his pockets as he happily trailed off after Monts.

Truthfully, stirring up trouble sounded like a little bit of fun. Gojyo had been far too complacent these days anyway~ It was boring.

Stepping outside, he took a big breath of fresh air, enjoying the sensation of the breeze against his skin before turning to look down at Monts.]

So anything you've been in the mood to check out? There's all the festival stuff going on, yeah? I heard there should be a firework show later tonight.

[Although what to do until then~]

Drinks maybe? Or maybe one of the events.
