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]

He gives the human with the silver eye a second glance just on the unusual eye colour as he walks in, but you know what, as long as nothing fucks with him he's not gonna bother. Not his problem!
...It is his problem when it feels like he's being watched, though. After a moment, on his way past to grab some detergent: ]
What is it.
[ He is an expert at picking up terrible vibes
because he also produces them on purpose. ]no subject
Unfortunately, Kimmuriel just so happens to turn towards him when he's just slipped his phone back into his pocket. Dutifully surveying the store also includes surveying its only customer, so his eyes... are already on Kimmuriel... when he glances over.]
Yes? [And then, as he straightens up:] Do you need help finding anything?
[Kamui does not break eye contact. You've got to look the customer in the face, right? It's been about a week, that feels correct.]
no subject
No. I require nothing.
I was wondering if you wished to say something of any interest to me, but evidently that is not the case.
[ Real charmer, this guy. He seems to decide that the conversation is now Over and has gone back to his shopping.
Speaking of that haniwa problem, though, Kimmuriel is definitely doing a very slow and cautious meandering path that clearly isn't efficient and also traces a distinct radius away from the door that leads to the long, winding path that maybe leads to a usable restroom. It has even worse vibes than the cashier does. ]
no subject
[However, now that Kimmuriel is on his way... Kamui looks up again to see him navigating towards the bathroom, meandering oddly. In the best case scenario, he really is just taking his time to browse; in the worst, those bastards are getting their odd energies all over his unsuspecting customers. He's not going to get yelled at by his manager for letting somebody get lost in the back room, so--]
If you'd like to use the WC, I have to inform you of the curse on it.
[Staring across the room isn't conducive to the conversation, and nobody's around anyway-- Kamui leaves his post at the counter, a set of keys in his hand, and approaches him.]
Sorry. I'm fairly certain we have, well... let's call it a supernatural pest problem.
