ABOVE GROUND
(The best way to stop people from getting in is to watch the entrance. He doesn't expect anyone to just waltz in through the obvious entrances and there are plenty of people keeping an eye out there. Instead, Hizen opts to watch a smaller, less obvious entrance that people can use to sneak in past whatever guards might be on duty.

He keeps his distance, preferring to watch from the shadows of an alley and enjoys how slow the job is for the time being… by enjoying a rice ball. It might be a job but he's still entitled to his snack breaks. Not even the government back home can take that away from him.

When he catches someone poking around, he finishes the last of his onigiri and begins to make his way towards his new target,
)

It's closed.

(Some oni have thrown some boxes or something in front of to make it more difficult to get through but it's not impossible.)

Try somewhere else.


UNDERGROUND
(When it comes to closed, dark spaces, Hizen has always had an advantage. After all, wakizashi are convenient for assassinations and all wakizashi spirits seem to inherit a natural talent for sneaking around in dangerous places. Being the sword of an assassin only makes it easier for him.

He knows how to walk quietly, making sure he makes as little sound as possible in the tunnels. Let the sound of water below and the streets above drown out most of his sounds so he can sneak around. He keeps to the shadows and knows where to hide or how far back to stay to keep out of sight. There are no special abilities or powers at play here— it's all skill so anyone with a special talent or sharp senses will be able to sense him eventually but he's good at lying low in wait, stalking potential prey.

His eyes adjust to the darkness and he can make out who his allies and enemies easily. When he sees a fellow Shuten member, he makes a point to take a heavier step so he's heard but stays out of sight a moment longer before revealing himself. He's been shot once this month and he's not in the mood to get hurt again because of friendly fire fo all things,
)

It's a dead end.

(The direction they're heading in right now.)

(If he sees someone who isn't a Shuten, he sticks to the shadows and just... keeps watching! Eventually, he might yawn and warn though,)

Keep going and you'll be in trouble.


UNDERGROUND: TAMAMO BULLYING EDITION
(You are a Tamamo and you have managed to make it underground. Somewhere along the way, you've called Hizen out for stalking you or just ran into him. Either way, with alliances established and so on, he doesn't look impressed when he realizes he's stumbled onto a Tamamo.

He tugs at the scarf over his face and let's out a short laugh,
)

You guys really came? Thought you'd be worried about breaking a nail or something.

[ unpopular opinion: itadori thought the entire 'prank' is fucking hilarious. the only downfall of it all was the kappa abuse and being forced to rent this black suit, but he will dwell on that later. for now, in contrast to hizen's displeasure, the sorcerer was probably the only one who looked quite amused between an angry mob.

when the crowd starts throwing hands, though — itadori decided he's not sticking around for that nonsense. everyone here is strong enough to defend themselves, so he didn't need to interfere. ]


Come on. You gotta love the Daitengu!

[ ignoring the loud clatters in the background, itadori tilts his head. ] ... You seriously don't think that was funny?

[ he's asking for research purposes— since itadori pulled the exact same prank on his friends back home. now that he thinks about it, they kinda reacted the same way hizen did. there was no laughter, and he certainly wasn't welcomed with open arms; just mild disgust and raw anger.

he clears his throat- ... a bit nervous now! ]


Okay, let me explain it in another way. What if it was your friend? Wouldn't you be happy to see them alive again?

... This is getting personal.

[ he muttered under his breath, sighing afterward. yeah, he's guilty of dying twice and coming back to life, too. hizen is throwing jabs at him like a pro. that's another person who agrees this kinda prank fails to deliver.

he folds his arms against his chest, casually stepping over a random body of someone who got knocked out. watch your step, hizen! ]


Still, this isn't so bad! We all dressed nicely, looking sharp and ready for a night out!

[ that was a scary look. anyone in their right mind would be wary of the anger behind such sharp eyes and opt to leave that boy alone; it doesn't help that he's carrying a sword as well. normal people will walk away— not itadori, though. the conversation kept an easy, casual vibe into it (from his side, at least) as he shrugged his shoulders. ]

What's the difference, really? Let's be honest ... we all dress the same on all occasions. Men are boring like that. I'd wear the same suit at a wedding too.

[ the brawl is growing in size— almost closing in on them from all sides at this point. itadori dodged an attempt of a sucker punch from the right; it's funny how he didn't need to strike back, someone else got to the guy first. it's getting chaotic now. he turned to glance at hizen again- ]

... So, that's a 'no' to a night out?

[ weddings are fun, you!

when he got a firm rejection, itadori couldn't help but laugh a bit. there's no taunt into his tone, just warmth— clearly not offended by it all. hizen is so mean and yet ... oddly endearing. there are no complaints about being followed by the other, as they both want to get out of this mess before they get sucked into it. plus, the sorcerer appeared to know how to navigate them out without any further confrontations. when the loud commotions subdue in the background, he speaks again. ]


I work for the Enma. Itadori Yuuji at your service!

[ he's too proud. look at him smiling and offering hizen a military salute. ]

Are you going to tell me your name or am I getting another 'hell no'?!

Something about the Enma not showing up to his funeral? I don't know ...

[ he may or may not have been paying attention; way too excited to see the Daitengu blooming back to life, prompting itadori to be the only sucker to applaud his performance in the middle of an appalled crowd. if there is a subtle threat under those playful words, the sorcerer missed out on it. itadori is many things, but he's not— perceptive.

that same youkai tries to get up again despite being in pain, but before it could— itadori knocks him out with a swift kick to the head. stay down! they're busy talking. ]


... Do you like cold soba?

[ who said the 'hell no' can't turn into a 'maybe' with the right question. ]

[ wow!!

in his defense, hizen is the one holding a sword that could slit people in half, so he's the formidable one. and yet again— logic begs not to attempt to corner someone with a weapon, as they are fated to lose their tolerance at some point, but itadori didn't understand the concept of boundaries.

he nods towards a nearby street, beckoning the other to keep moving further away from the crowd in that direction. ]


Because I'm hungry and I don't want to eat alone. [ an honest answer. before hizen declines the offer again, itadori reassures him with a smile- ] It's my treat. The old man owes me.

[personal profile] ahost 2022-04-28 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, is that so? ... You didn't seem like you wanted to be part of this a moment ago ...

[ with a tilt of his head, itadori seemed a bit puzzled or maybe disappointed. just when he thought he could finally befriend someone from a new faction. what a shame, and yet— he perks up a second later, pressing his hands together and smiling. ]

Another time, then!

[ hey, maybe he does understand some boundaries. he reached over to give the other boy a friendly pat on the shoulder, assuming that's where they will part ways. ]

Take care of yourself, Hizen.
