( That mochi was a bad idea.

Or maybe a good one, depending on how this pans out; someone else who's ingested one of the mochi is pressed against him, the both of them barely hidden in an alley. He feels hot, electric. )

Fuck ... Am I trashy enough to do this here ... ?

02. ) VEND ME A DREAM

//////////////////////////////// ???? ////

ENOUGH with this fuckin' run around!

( His partner for said run around is subject to his explosive anger, met with a laugh that echoes out from inside his head, a different voice altogether.

I like you angry, boy. Keep it up. the voice says. )

Fuck you, Genkei. Don't wanna hear it.

//////////////////////////////// TAMAMO TERRITORY ////

( Samatoki doesn't wanna touch that thing. But he'd rather die than be a coward and just fuck off from duty. So he shudders, takes hold of the clay Haniwa. He can't hide it from his partner for this. )

Listen. If shit gets weird with this thing, just ... Back me up, all right?

Vend me a dream

[sleepinglyra]

[Reluctant partner. Sheliak didn't want to be in this awkward position. He hadn't seen Samatoki since the Night Parade and he preferred to keep it that way. He pretended not to notice the spark of happiness mixed with his mortification upon seeing him again and he maintained his usual icy politeness throughout their mission. They were colleagues, nothing more. That night didn't happen and the sooner this was over, the better.

Easier said then done apparently. Sheliak agreed with Samatoki. This endless loop of trades was ridiculous. Sheliak painstakingly kept a lid on his anger unlike his companion, until he heard that voice. His concern seeped into his anger and his eyes narrowed as it boiled over and he broke the awkward silence.]

Who is Genkei?

[There was a subtle threat in his tone that was directed towards the mysterious voice. Did they have something to do with the blackouts that Samatoki mentioned? During the night that didn't happened so he shouldn't be worried about a complete stranger...this was proving more difficult than he thought.]

[deathrespect]

Ah, shit ... He wasn't awake when we ... met.

( Samatoki feels equally awkward, and Genkei is loving this. )

He comes and goes, but likes to cause trouble for me. He's an Oni living in my body since the ... last place.

[sleepinglyra]

[Shelaik quickly looked away and pretended to look around for the item they needed. Did Samatoki have to mention the night that did not happen? Their shared awkwardness made it harder to ignore already without speaking of it. He tried to maintain his polite distance but his wall kept slipping with each curious thing Samatoki said and he hesitantly turned back to him.]

No serious trouble I hope? How long has he been with you?

[deathrespect]

Few months. With some time fuckery in between, I think. He tries to take over every so often.

( He shakes his head, face flushing. )

But I wouldn't worry about him. He's just loud.

( You're louder, boy. )

I said shut up.

MINGLE PROMPTS. WARNING FOR PSYCHOSIS + DISMEMBERMENT IN LAST PROMPT.

[deathrespect]

01. ) WELCOMING COMMITTEE, pt. 1

//////////////////////////////// CELESTIAL PHOENIX CASINO ////

( Samatoki is a little drunk. It's partially to shut up the Oni in his head, and partially because the bad habit is growing on him some more.

It was only a time until this happened: said Oni, Genkei, has picked a fight by projecting his voice. Of course the nearby youkai all whirl to see which jackass was hurling insults.

Of course he had to clean up Genkei's mess. With his fists. While Genkei was laughing uproariously.

He wipes some blood off of his mouth, shakes his claws out. )

Fuck you lookin' at?

02. ) WELCOMING COMMITTEE, pt. 2

//////////////////////////////// CELESTIAL PHOENIX CASINO ////

( Outside with a cigarette, he's sobering up a little. He's not entirely sure what the rest of the night holds in store; everything feels familiar but so strange right now.

His thoughts well up, a cacophonous crescendo, until it reaches the crux of noise: fuck it!

So he takes a huge drag before the sky opens up hard. )

Ah, shit.

( Wearing white. The rain falls on him for a few moments, before he turns to another coming out. )

It just got miserable out here. Good luck smokin' if that's what you're out here for.

03. ) IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING

//////////////////////////////// ENMA TERRITORY ////

( He feels like he can't breathe; it's too quick, too shallow. The rain may be pouring hard over him enough to reduce his field of vision some, but there's one thing he can't deny: that's Nemu in the rain. Just a few yards off.

His little sister. Wearing her kidnapper's colors, her left arm missing—

He screams, guttural and pained. Drops to his knees, even. Heart rabbiting in his chest. )

[beginanew]

[Sasuke knows when someone is hurting by their screams, so he tries to find the person who's making the noise, turning here and there, before he gets to them.

He finds the man quickly, and reaches for his sword, looking for the attacker, and looking at the man on the floor when nothing makes him sense danger.]

You okay?

[deathrespect]

N-no ... Fuck, can't you see her?

( She keeps stepping back into the rain, away from them both, but only visible to Samatoki. )

[beginanew]

...No.

[He can't even see whoever this man is looking at though his rinnegan.]

Can you stand?

[deathrespect]

I ... hah ...

( Silence, save for the quick breathing and the white noise of the rain sheeting down. )

I'm ... I think so. Yeah.

( She retreats until she's gone. Samatoki makes a jerking motion, whole body, as though to run after her. Something stops him. He stands. )

Seeing shit no one else can see ... again.

ALDER. | ORIGINAL CHARACTER. | TAMAMO.

[daragh]

SUBSTORIES.

[daragh]

01. ) MOON MEDICINE

//////////////////////////////// TAMAMO TERRITORY ////

( By the time he gets back to Tamamo's districts, he's feeling ... well, it's not really out of the ordinary for Alder. He wants to burn off some energy.

But he can't tap in to his normal powers, the wellsprings of brimstone and grace he's had since birth.

So he punches a fist into brick quite suddenly. Just to test it out. )

02. ) VEND ME A DREAM

//////////////////////////////// ???? ////

Hey, this mag isn't half bad.

( He pages through quickly; he's joking, of course, but the person nearest, vaguely addressed, might not be able to tell ... )

03. ) SWIPE LEFT

//////////////////////////////// NETWORK ////

( LINK! )

04. ) HANIWHAT?

//////////////////////////////// TAMAMO TERRITORY ////

I never got the chance to go to Hell as much as I wanted. Everything got stolen or fucked up in the War. This Hell's pretty different, though.

( Said casually as he turns the haniwa over in his hand. )

Can't say I'm fond if they create weird, creepy shit like this.

MINGLE PROMPTS.

[daragh]

01. ) WELCOMING COMMITTEE

//////////////////////////////// CRIMSON MOON KARAOKE ////

( Alder does not sing. He's here to drink and heckle.

And drink some more, apparently. He snaps: )

Why do you people keep shoving drinks in my hands? It's going to take a lot more than a pint to fuck me up as bad as you want to see me.

02. ) IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING

//////////////////////////////// TAMAMO BROTHEL ////

I'm not here to buy. It's pissing out.

( He tells the madam working there this, but then does a double-take at the person passing by. )

... Can I window-shop though?

GARA. | HANDEAD ANTHEM. | SUTOKU.

//////////////////////////////// SUTOKU TERRITORY ////

Naw. Nope. Ain't like this. Yuki ain't here.

( Gara is positively burning up thanks to the mochi, but he refuses to shed his clothes. He's not exactly shy with his body or his undead status, but he's also not fond of the idea of questions or physically falling apart. )

Man, fuck this place already!!

02. ) VEND ME A DREAM

//////////////////////////////// ???? ////

This place got no fuckin' maps ... Dammit.

( He does not want to be weak and ask for someone to help him figure out where he is. )

Oi. You know where we're at here?

03. ) HANIWHAT?

//////////////////////////////// SUTOKU TERRITORY ////

( He bites the Haniwa, though not all the way through or anything.

Yeah.

It doesn't chip or break. )

Shit. Thing's fuckin' creepy and I dunno if I'd bust my teeth up tryna see what's in it.

haniwhat

[appleforyou]

[Collecting haniwa throughout the city for the Enma was part of her job as a field officer. Fine, whatever. Bulleta was in Sutoku territory today and was full and well prepared to just go about her business when she comes across a guy just CRONCHING one of the statues. Oh. Great. A fucking weirdo. It was too late to just turn away, they’d already made eye contact. So the young girl just stares, not sure whether to be more annoyed or baffled.]

…You make a habit of putting things you find on the ground in your mouth, mister?

[shurajodo]

( ????

What's the problem with that?

He gives her a puzzled look. )

Sometimes. I can handle whatever it is you think I'll get from this.

( His periphery starts to shimmer, go black ... )

[appleforyou]

[“Sometimes” he says. Oh boy. Bulleta raises a brow at his confidence.]

You sure about that? I hear they can reeeeeally mess you up, especially if you do break them open.

[shurajodo]

Yeah, yeah. Can't get through it anyway. Not with this grill.

( His lip curls up in disgust; the black around his edges fade away. )

Y'might be right, though.

vend me a dream

[playfoul]

[ Yuri glances up from where he's standing, back against a building and swiping on his phone. ]

The entertainment district. [ Sutoku territory. Faction claims aren't officially recognized by law, but there's an unspoken understanding among locals. ] You lost?

[shurajodo]

That don't help much ... Yeah, guess I am.

( He sounds angry; having to ask for help hurts him deeply, sometimes. )

[playfoul]

Where are you headed?

[ Yuri replies calmly. He doesn't think it's anything to get worked up over, but he's cool-headed about most things. ]

[shurajodo]

I'm just lookin' for this damn vending machine. Been everywhere tryin' to find a mag.

( He shakes his head. )

Place got too much going on. Tch.

MINGLE PROMPTS.

[shurajodo]

01. ) WELCOMING COMMITTEE

//////////////////////////////// PLUTO THEATER AND CAFE ////

Beer and a movie? This is all kinda tame for yakuza, ain't it?

( He doesn't like beer, even if he finds bitter tastes to be more palatable than sweet or spicy. )

Whaddya think?

( Buuuut he says this to the person next to him up at the food counter, drinking deeply despite his distaste. )

Thought I'd get to bite more people already!

02. ) IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING

//////////////////////////////// TAMAMO TERRITORY ////

( He's ducked into a sex shop just to get out of the rain, and when he sees everything he doesn't look too ... impressed. But he does go through the anal beads. )

The hell is all this? Why they selling bracelets??

( Then he spots a few paddles lined up on the wall nearby. )

And cricket bats? This place is wack.
