► Moon Medicine
A. Chilly
[It's just a mochi, what's the harm? Norimune knows better than to think otherwise. But at first, it seems fine, But eventually, the chill suddenly strike him hard and deeply. So deeply, it almost throws him off.

Norimune is noticeably shivering, as he's trying to warm himself up with some simple methods. Wearing more layers, ordering hot drinks... and another. And another. How many tea is he going to order from this joint? It's enough for people, both nearby and the joint's staff, to start noticing.]

U... ha ha ha, it's awfully chilly today.

[Maybe? But he's trying his best to stay warm. Even as he slowly draw closer to another person.]

B. Fight (or Fuck?)
[Or perhaps one can come across Norimune, who looks increasingly on edge. The effects of this particular mochi is a slow burn. At first, he thought it'd be the opposite of the chilly one he had before. But gradually, he pinpoint the familiar feeling. It's one he haven't felt so keenly in many years.

The desire to fight it out, no matter who his opponent is. He's able to keep it to himself, it won't do to cause trouble among the crowds and in the busy, bustling areas. Off the clock or not, he still works for Enma. People can easily remember his face.

But the urge, the sheer energy, continue to grow within him. He try to head to a less populated area, his footsteps moving quickly as if he's in a rush. But whether he rnns into someone, or they approach him suddenly. Norimune's hand is already on his blade's hilt.

He turn his gaze at the other person, sharp and wary.]

Oh, I almost didn't see you there.

[Norimune almost, almost draw his blade at them. But his hand is still gripping his sword's hilt.]
(OOC: Mostly just fighting. If anyone want smut, just hit me up for planning.)

► Vend Me A Dream
[Compared to the mochi, this is easier to bear with. Well, physically speaking as his body isn't affected by suspicious food.

Whether he's with someone else already and they teamed up for this task, or they come across him in the middle of an errand, Norimune looks like he's enjoying this way too much.]

Uhahaha! Who knew such a simple task can be so involved?

[They're in the middle of yet another oddly specific request. Who knew how overly specific the youkai can be with their tastes and needs?]

► Haniwhat?
[Norimune can be found going out into the city, listening and questioning the locals on where the haniwa appeared at. Some of them seems pretty eager to answer his questions, once he told them he's from the Department of the Enma. He can see it in their eyes (or body language, or words spoken, depending on which youkai they are), they rather let the Enma handle this instead of messing with them. He haven't come across anyone, yet, that dare to touch them. He wonders if the more rowdier people tries?

The haniwa is giving him a bad feeling... Fortunately, he have a carry bag with him to put them in. Once he find them, anyway.

As he questions them, one answer earn his full attention.]

Collapsed, you say? I'll pass it along, and we'll have this wrapped up. Would you mind telling me where they are?

[He doesn't know if they will solve this, but reassuring the citizens and giving them a reason to believe in Enma is necessary. Necessary and also useful, and that means forging a positive impression on those he meet. Norimune goes to look for the fallen, reckless fools.

At any point, another person (you) might join him during his investigations. Or even come across him right now, on his way to follow-up his information. All while keeping an eye out for the haniwa. Shouldn't be too hard with their unmissable discomforting aura.]

Let's see, let's see... around this block or so?

► Wild Card
[Plotting comment.
