Who ⬤ Kamui and you
What ⬤ The extremely cursed 7/11 night shift
When ⬤ throughout May
Where ⬤ that one Sutoku/Shuten 7/11
Content Warnings ⬤ n/a for now, will update
Notes ⬤ please see Kamui's permissions to opt into having him sense your character's criminal power!
A. convenience store;
[It's 2 am, or thereabouts, and you are on a street where Shuten and Sutoku territory just barely overlap-- so it's a bit of a dodgier visit tonight. However you managed, you've finally bypassed the oni punks squatting outside the automatic doors and made your way into the waiting fluorescent arms of the 7/11, only to find...]
Welcome.
[this guy, dispassionately welcoming you to the store. Like, has he even blinked? It's like they've seated a cryptid behind the counter in a silly uniform. His lack of enthusiasm, his unbroken stare, and the strange presence his silver left eye seems to radiate all combined make this late night convenience store visit feel especially unnerving.
Sometimes, he pauses to stock the shelves, but it always sort of feels like he's watching you. Not that he's a rude cashier, or treating you like you're going to shoplift: he'll ring you up just fine. It's just his terrible vibes. Sorry.]
B. toilet dungeon;
[There's also a public restroom in this 7/11... if you can find it!]
Oh, welcome back. [says Kamui breezily, as his customer emerges from the 7/11 back door for the second-- or third?-- time.] Did you find the WC yet? I'm sorry for the inconvenience, it was cursed last week, so the hallway has gotten longer. You need to follow the directions exactly or you'll just be sent back here right away.
[In one long, breathless sentence, Kamui repeats the directions:]
Go through the door in the back, take a right, go through the fourth door, turn through the first hallway on the left, then keep going straight until you take a right at the intersection, go through the second door and you'll get to a staircase, so go all the way down and through the emergency exit on the right, take the stairs all the way up to the top, and you'll hit a T-shaped hallway, and you'll find the WC just past that.
[He blinks, head canting ever so slightly to the side.]
Please take your time.
C. hani-uhh???;
[There's a haniwa figure that has cropped up right next to the magazine aisle. Fortunately, this is one of Kamui's earlier shifts, so he's not the only employee around and won't be abandoning the register for this-- but they've still got to figure out what to do with this distinctly-cursed looking little guy before one of their oni regulars kicks it over, right?]
Erm...
[Except that, especially with his ability reactivated, it really, really feels like a bad idea to touch the clay figurine. And yet, he definitely can't just leave it there, can he?
Kamui's brows knit together with concern as he stands over it, armed with one of the tongs for hot food. He clicks them together, uncertain, before he crouches down to get a better look at it. He might be poking it with the tongs. Give it a few moments-- he's making up his mind.]
D. wildcard
[here for a vending machine substory task (or another substory)? just wanna generally harass your friendly neighborhood 7/11 cryptid? go wild my dude]

no subject
Maybe not.
[Kamui breaks eye contact to brush his hair out of his eyes and cast a look over his shoulder at the 7/11 behind them: thankfully, still empty. For now.]
I do know I prefer being on your side, though.
no subject
And maybe she doesn't mind that as much as she probably should. ]
Guess there's no accounting for taste. [ She quips back after a moment. Her attention follows his as he glances over his shoulder, back at that fluorescent glow waiting inside. Wryly then: ] Anyway, don't you have a convenience store to be running? Pretty sure they don't pay you to sit out here with strange women from the sewers.
no subject
[But she's right. Busy or not, he's still on company time.]
Thank you. It was-- [A bit too easy to speak to her, perhaps? Kamui had been almost certainly too forthcoming this time, and yet with Andy it hadn't felt incorrect. It's an odd feeling. But not bad. Maybe he's making more progress here than he thought.] --nice to pass the time.
[Kamui gets to his feet, waiting for his new friend to stand too before he returns to his post.]
Feel free to stop by whenever. I'll be around.
[Hopefully he'll learn a little more next time. He's pretty sure there'll be a next time, anyway.]
