What ⬤ Catchall for the underground and tdm (funeral) prompts
When ⬤ April
Where ⬤ See prompts.
Content Warnings ⬤ TBA
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.

he's good at following, at least, and he keeps his gun in his hand. as much as he doesn't want to have to use it, he's prepared to cover them if he has to. ]
What do you mean? No one's ever faked their death around you before? It's, you know, strategic...
no subject
(He's good at his job. He makes sure that when he finishes a hit, he makes sure no one is alive to screw things up. He doesn't know what crazy adventures this Ryouma has been on but Hizen's life isn't that interesting (and thank god because he has enough excitement already).
Someone breaks a leg off one of the overturned tables and swings. Hizen ducks low and charges ahead. Without drawing his sword, he brings the hilt of his sword up straight, slamming the bear-like youkai in the chin hard. It knocks them back and Hizen steps on them.
They just have to make it to the temple steps and he can ditch Ryouma, send him off on his way and jump back into the fray for himself,)
Have you?
(Played dead to get out of something... Or met someone who has?)
no subject
[ hizen really makes this look easy. ryouma is about to think "it's a good thing he's on my side!" only to remember that... no. no, hizen is technically not on his side. but for now, he's grateful. ]
I have though. A few times! [ yeah, so what, he can own it~ ] Like I said, it's a useful strategy.
[ ryouma is willing to carefully step over people, not on them, but he's keeping up. ]
But I wouldn't do it while fighting against someone like you, at least not all by myself. You'd see right through it like that.
no subject
(He looks back just long enough to snap at him and before some inugami can run up to him with its fangs bared, he draws his sword and points the blade at it which makes it... swerve away. Ryouma was right. Who would mess with a little bundle of rage? Most lesser spirits are quick to back off when they realize the "human" they're trying to target is actually ready to throw hands.)
And you better not! (Carrying on ahead,) Play me and I'll kill you.
(Except not really.)
no subject
[ being shameless and doing his thing is a lot better than being sad and depressed, isn't it? sorry hizen, no options that aren't annoying~ ]
That's the kind of move you make when you don't have any better options. You have to be able to trust that things won't all just fall apart in the middle and make it believable enough that at least most people are convinced.
[ it's not something he can promise he won't ever do, because it really came down to necessity those other times... ]
