SUBSTORY #1: thanks mods i happen to love body heat meme

[ This is just about the last time he takes free food from anyone, even if they look like a harmless rabbit. Curse his slight fondness for rabbits. While Megumi went a good half hour with no side effects, the chill gradually sets in after that, his long-sleeved clothing and large collar that usually keep him fairly warm no longer making the cut. The worst part is, the effects set in right in the middle of the busy pavement. He would be able to deal with this better if he could wrap himself up at home.

Megumi tries to tough it out for as long as he is able to, arms wrapping around himself as he tries to keep the shivers at bay. He doesn't particularly like to draw attention to himself or make people worry about him, but it's hard to walk normally when the chill seems to have permeated every inch of his body. ]

What did she feed me ... [ Another day he wishes he could summon Divine Dog. Their fur would actually feel divine right about now.

Eventually, his hands seem to seek heat on their own, grabbing the sleeve of someone nearby to give them a light tug closer. ]

SUBSTORY #2: the one with the butts and wild goose chase

[ As if life couldn't get any harder, upon Megumi's refusal to help it with its pointless request, the shirime in all its eye-in-butt glory has taken to following him around, harassing him with its request incessantly.

"So, you'll help me, right? Hey, are you listening? Will you help me? I want the A5! You'll help me, right?"

There's only so much of being followed around and pestered that a boy can take. He doesn't even know which vending machine the shirime is talking about and it keeps ignoring the question when he asks.

There's only one way to solve this problem: Pawn it on someone else. Though he feels a little bad about this, there's no other choice. Megumi addresses whoever might be nearby, thumbing at the silly-looking yokai who's following him. ]

You. Can you help him?

IC MINGLE #1: welcome wagon

[ Megumi doesn't particularly care about movies, preferring to spend his evenings with a good book. When he does watch movies, it's when he's being roped into it by someone else.

He doesn't have much interest in using the movie ticket but it also feels like a waste to throw it away when someone else might want to use it. Anyone who's hovering around the theater will be approached by a tall young man with a deadpan expression. He straight up puts his ticket in your hand. ]

Here. Enjoy.

IC MINGLE #2: haniwa dolls

[ As the night goes on, and the partying locals and lost souls continue to drink themselves silly, a lot of people are focused on having a good time and paying less and less attention to the sporadically emerging dolls. They were creepy at first, but after the fourth time you see one popping up, it becomes a bit easier to ignore, apparently. It's because people are paying less attention that they're being less cautious and allowing themselves to be exposed to its cursed effects.

At a local nightclub, a fight seems to have broken out, a wolf demon randomly breaking out into some paranoid hysteria about everyone else's faces changing, and charging at the other patrons with his sharp claws. At the center of it all is a haniwa figure, and though Megumi's spiritual senses have dulled immensely, he can still pick up its off-putting, dreadful aura.

The other patrons, some also succumbing to the hallucinations, are obviously going to return in kind. A bottle thrown by one of the angry patrons sails through the air towards your character. Before it can hit, they'll be yanked to the side by a young man with dark hair. ]

I have to get rid of that figure. [ He turns to the person he's grabbing now. ] Go somewhere else.

[ He can handle this!!! (Allegedly ... )

ooc: As a note, Megumi is a helpful boy who will be trying to remove the statues as advised by Enma. He might succumb to the effects after a while and i'm happy to plot it out with whoever ]

PART TIME JOB: book shop boys (later in the month)

[ Megumi has found a part-time job at a local bookstore in the Sutoku Alliance. There are books of all sorts available, and the colourful and upbeat members of the staff (with the exception of .. Megumi, who stands out with how quiet he is by comparison) are always ready to help out.

A: If your character looks unsure of what they want to browse, they'll be approached by a quiet young man in a blue apron, who will point at one particular book in the non-fiction section. ]

This one wasn't bad.

[ The title reads 'Everything You Need to Know About Concrete Engineering'. That's ... so boring, why would anyone (who isn't a builder) ever read it??? ]

[ B: Or, if your character happened to wander near the shelves behind some bashful yuki-onna who quickly takes off and leaves, they might get falsely accused of a book-related crime.

Megumi will approach them with a book in hand (a romance story, apparently) and open up the cover. Written on the pages are the romantic exchanges between two regular patrons, who have chosen to trade their love notes through this one book.

The latest one reads "There isn't a day I go on without thinking about you. I long for the touch of your fingers, to hear the sound of your voice. My heart can take no more of this cruel fate that separates us."

Love between enemy faction members? Whatever, he doesn't care. Megumi looks very unimpressed. ]

Please have your love affair somewhere else.

[ OOC: Do something else with me??? You can reach me via PM or at

charsiu (feel free to add) ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[All Hu Tao could do was stare in awe at the picture. Despite knowing how terrible it looks, she didn't care. The fact that the camera could take an image of the two of them was amazing enough! Acting like a child, she just kept on giggling as she stared at him with big wide eyes.]

That is simply wonderful! It makes me wonder what other things this little device could do! Although, I do wonder if it is possible that you could somehow give me that image on my device.

[That being said, she started to play around with her phone. Narrowing her eyes, she was starting to that there were quite a few things on here...

What is this little pen thing on the bottom anyway?]

[ Seeing her complete awe at this simple thing really makes him think they take technology for granted back home. ]

I don't know why you would want this ... [ It doesn't look good (not that he cares), and he can't really understand the desire to keep pictures of people in general.

Okay, that might be a lie. He totally cherishes the pictures he has of his friends in his old phone.

Megumi can see her messing around with the other features of her phone, but he's not the kind to enthusiastically offer his help, so he'll let her mess around until she decides she wants to ask him something. For now ... ]

I'll need your contact details. [ Not hitting on her! To send the picture! ]

[As she raised an eyebrow, she wondered if she should say anything. After all, why wouldn't he enjoy it? Sure, it might look a little ugly but that's okay!]

Why not? I think it's a great first picture with this strange device!

[But as she spoke up, her eyes never left the phone. Looking around through the various applications on the device, she narrowed her eyes. There were so many different icons, she didn't know which one was the correct one to give him her information.]

Let's see...I believe this should be it? [All the while showing him a list of people that were in hell with them. She was close but...!]

[ That's a long-winded way to do it, but a way nonetheless.

Megumi takes over easily, too used to technology given the generation he was born in. He takes a step in closer and hovers over her, reaching out and tapping on the icon that opens her profile page. There's an option there to add a profile picture, status message and change her username. ]

I've got it. [ Too easy. With a few taps on his own phone, she receives a text message with the attached photo soon enough.

fushiguro has sent you an attachment: untitled.png ]

[As she got a glance at what he did, she raised an eyebrow at how easy it was for him. Although, she shouldn't be surprised. If he came from a world where this was normal, this was all second nature.

Now that she got an option to change everything, a huge smile appeared.]

I see, is that what you do?

[In that moment? As soon as she got the photo, her eyes were glued to the phone. She wasn't even paying attention to the boy in front of her, she was more interested in doing whatever editing options there for the photo.

Should he look, she may or may not have drawn a bunch of cat ears, whiskers, and flowers on it.]

[ Some people acclimate quickly, apparently. Within seconds of learning something new about technology, Hu Tao is already messing around with it. He doesn't know how to feel about looking at himself with cat whiskers. ]

... Is that fun for you?

Of course! I always draw these kinds of pictures all the time when people aren't looking!

[With that, she proudly held up what she drew at him!]

Isn't it adorable? We'll just have to save it somehow as I'll treasure this moment! [Was she joking or was she being serious? That was up to him to decide!]

You've got a weird definition of 'adorable' ... [ Puppies are adorable? Humans with drawn on whiskers are ... not. It isn't even a very nice picture - not that he cares about that. ]

What year is it, where you're from? [ Will that have any meaning for him? ]

It's not a bad thing to have an odd definition of adorable, it just means you're unique! [But then again, given how she likes to come up with shenanigans? Drawing pictures on people is nothing!]

But anyway! As for the year, I'm not sure but I'm assuming you must be from the future. You'll be surprised that I never even heard of a car until I got here!

[That and there is no real year in her canon at the moment.]
