GARA. | HANDEAD ANTHEM. | SUTOKU.

[shurajodo]

SUBSTORIES.

[shurajodo]

01. ) MOON MEDICINE

//////////////////////////////// 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. ) SWIPE LEFT

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

( LINK! )

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.

[appleforyou]

I am right. I'm collecting these things following direct orders from the Enma, you know.

So hand it over. [She steps closer, holding out her hand expectantly.]

[shurajodo]

D'you always do what fuckers in suits tell ya to?

( He takes a step back. )

Fuckin' lame.

[appleforyou]

Only when it suits my needs. I don’t have any loyalty to the big guy but he is the one who authorized my contract and I intend to see that contract fulfilled.

[Another step closer.]

Hand it over.

[shurajodo]

( Right. Contracts.

He thinks of his own; of Kakeru's smile. )

What's so important to ya that you're givin' up your freedom?

( He's genuinely curious and, for once, his tone is a bit grave, low. He hands it over. )

[appleforyou]

[Bulleta waves her hand as though dismissing the topic, an embarassed look on her face.]

Goodness me, that's a very personal question to ask a girl you just met~ ♥ Tehee.

[...She says, as though her contract isn't for something entirely impersonal. She snatches the haniwa and puts it in the wicker basket hanging from her arm.]

I'm not giving up my freedom, though. As a hunter, I'm used to working on contract. This is just another means to an end.

[shurajodo]

Eh?? Naw. We all got contracts, don't we?

( He can't comprehend her point of view, either way. But still ... )

Whaddya mean by hunter?

[appleforyou]

We do, but some of us may have very private reasons for having agreed to them! You should be more sensitive, silly goose~♪ [You’re the last person someone wants to hear that from, Bulleta!]

I mean I’m a hunter - one of the best in the business. S Class Darkhunter Bulleta, at your service. [She gives a cute little curtsy.] If there’s a supernatural creature you need tracked down or killed, I’m your girl.

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.

[playfoul]

Mag as in... magazine?

[ Yuri's still getting up to speed with modern day slang. Blame the pope for banning the printing press. Anyway, he's definitely seen some machines, however... ]

Hate to break it to you, but vending machines are a dime a dozen around here. You know the name of the mag?

[ He might be behind the times but he's figured out how to look things up on youkai Google. ]

[shurajodo]

Yeah, magazine. And, uh ... Shit.

( He squints, trying to remember what that particular youkai told him about said mag.

Oh, hell. )

Yuki'd be all over it. Something peachy.

[playfoul]

You're telling me you don't know what you're looking for.

[ He'll type 'peachy magazine' into his phone's search engine and glance through the top results. ]

Juicy Peaches? Wow, friend.

[ Some of these images are ... explicit. ]

[shurajodo]

( Nope, not really.

But when Yuri easily finds what he's looking for, he makes to look at his phone. )

... Yeah, think that was it. Yuki wouldn't ...

( He pulls a face. )

What the fuck.

[playfoul]

[ The guy's reaction makes him laugh. Guess he didn't know what sort of errand he was running. Hey, Yuri's not judging. These ladies and men are pretty hot. ]

If I had to guess, you're better off looking in Tamamo. But let's see.

[ He's going to adjust the search to try and find where the magazine is sold. ]

[shurajodo]

( He seems to know this place better than Gara does, even if he hasn't been here that long. Still. He pulls a face, looking a little frustrated with the need for help and for Yuri's reaction. )

Never been good with those things, much.

( He looks to the side for a moment, thinking. )

What's your name?

[playfoul]

Call me Yuri.

[ Phones are too useful not to learn how to use. You never know when you'll need a map to get around town, or when you'll need to help a stranger look up where to buy porn. ]

You're in luck. They're selling copies online. [ He keeps scrolling. ] It says here if you buy their monthly subscription they'll even throw in your choice of toy.

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.
