strikingchords: (here's your story; let's begin.)

[he doesn't get any immediate inkling of what he's in for from Lan Wangji, at least! he arrives a few minutes early, though not too early -- an immaculate guest. he accepts the cup of tea with a polite murmur of thanks. he sits across the table from Ryouma with posture that princes would envy. his face is smooth and expressionless. he acts in every way like the serious-minded polished acquaintance that Ryouma has been coming to know as a reliable fellow member of the Sutoku Alliance.

even when Ryouma's second guest walks in, he doesn't show a crack, at least not one that someone who didn't know him well would see. he just goes even more still for a moment, eyes very intense on the newcomer's face. then he breathes in and out, even and measured, and takes a sip of tea.]

[Wei Wuxian's poker face is not nearly so good; he shows up in the doorway right around on time, but he stops quite obviously in the doorway, an even more obvious rainbow of emotions crossing his face. anger, guilt, confusion, even an hint of eagerness--there and then tucked away again, though not fast enough, and poorly. at least his lingering limp means he can disguise how stiffly he walks over, and excuses his somewhat impolite sprawl on a third side of the table.]

Ah! Well. Maybe I should have expected this? Good evening, you two.

[this is fine this is fine this is fine this is fine this is fi--

he's pouring himself sake to try and make it at least a little bit fine, oh my god.]
strikingchords: (entropy.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-04-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Lan Wangji looks back over to Ryouma. a single heartbeat of surprise and intensity is hardly enough to set Wei Wuxian's hair on fire, even for exaggeration's sake; if Ryouma hadn't been observant (and perhaps, had reason to have more experience than an ordinary human at these things...) he wouldn't have caught any reaction at all. he simply doesn't know Lan Wangji well enough to read it.

Lan Wangji's face is as quiet and blank as an empty window again, regardless. he observes Wei Wuxian's immediate descent into alcoholism and looks back to Ryouma to nod again slightly, not commenting on either Wei Wuxian's struggle bus or Ryouma's confused attempt at rolling with an awkwardness he's clearly picked up on.]

We know each other.

[who says he needs reactions from anyone else to burst into flames. he's capable of self-immolation, thank you very much! a veritable expert at it! a cup of alcohol down his throat drowns the most immediate risk of it at the table, though. he takes a breath once he's swallowed, managing a smile that doesn't look sick, and clarifies:]

From home. A few years' history, as these things go. I'm desperately curious to know what business you need us both for now, actually.

[it's the truth. they have, how do you say, very dissimilar skillsets.]

[personal profile] ryototsukai 2022-04-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hell, it was fancier than she was used to, as well. Her regular place was a cart, after all, run by a delightful tsuchigumo. But hey, if Ryouma was paying, she wasn't going to question it.

There was an inherent trust that came with them both being part of Chaldea... even if she, herself, only barely seemed to be part of it sometimes. But she still knew Ritsuka, and trusted their judgement above all. If Ryouma was good enough for Ritsuka, he was good enough for her, and that was all that mattered.

She does arrive eventually, her arm still slung up. But she smiles brightly when she spots Ryouma, waving with her good arm.

She had a feeling she knew what this was about... ]


Hey! I hear this place makes amazing kitsune udon. Which makes sense, right? [ A giggle. ]

I'm in no shape for fighting, so I got out as soon as I had a way out.

[ She said that, but he knew she'd been down below getting into various skirmishes... But they both supposed that was different. No one had ordered her to brawl at a funeral, after all. ]

I was gonna ask you the same thing... Is the Daitengu really back? Were they ever dead to begin with?

[personal profile] ryototsukai 2022-04-29 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, my ears are open to it.

[ He knew that, of course, or he wouldn't have called her there. ]

Buuut... that doesn't mean the boss lady is. It's a stalemate down there, sure, but only because neither side has decided if it's worth it to push in even more force and just shove the other out.

[personal profile] heretic_blade 2022-05-04 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Izō is, of course, a little late. Not that he'd been trying to be late, it just happens more often than not. Someone with a little bit of rank should probably be more punctual, but that's neither here nor there. This is a meeting with a friend, right? Nothing more than that.

The setup already tells him it's more than that. Suspicion instantly sets in as he takes a seat across from Ryouma. Not that he's going to turn down a drink right now. ]


So what th' fuck d'ya want?

[ Get right to business. He's not in the mood for talking around the point. ]
heretic_blade: (so when you walk away)

[personal profile] heretic_blade 2022-05-04 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Majima would beat the shit out of him if he caught wind of Izō doing something like that, certainly. He almost spits his drink out at the pure audacity of the request. ]

What th' fuck?! [ He lowers his volume at least a little bit. ] Ya don't ease into anythin', do ya?!
heretic_blade: (you pray so hard)

[personal profile] heretic_blade 2022-05-06 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's too fuckin' much! At least yer bein' honest about what ya want outta me...

[ Izō huffs. ]

Jus' usin' me for favors, ain't ya?

no_kyouken: yakuza 0 (pic#15394369)

[personal profile] no_kyouken 2022-05-07 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ryouma's name did not escape him, even if he didn't react at the time. Izo explained it all badly, so Majima still thinks of these people as 'weird ghosts' but it does the trick. Majima -- middle school drop out that he is -- does not have any further historical context beyond whatever manga he saw versions of the Bakumatsus in, so his knowledge ends there.

So he tracks down the weird ghost by asking around Sutoku town until he finds him. ]


Ryouma.

[ The snake Shuten definitely doesn't look any more impressed than he did the first time, but here he is! ]
no_kyouken: yakuza (pic#15679343)

he should have called him sakamoto there for sure (weary)

[personal profile] no_kyouken 2022-05-11 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shuts the door behind him and leans against the wall, arms crossed. In the parlance of yakuza meetings, no windows means no snipers so it's a pretty good spot for it. ]

Nah, ya get around. People know ya.

[ Which... is vaguely a threat, mildly posed as it is. ]

[ Majima is so put off by this cutesy attitude. He's never seen it on anyone where it wasn't fake as fuck, so it's just tiring in his eyes. ]

I talked to Toraguma, I can take your pitch.

[ Lost a little of his Osaka-ben there didn't he. ]
