[Use any force necessary, right?

She didn't need to be told twice.

Keeping low profiles even among her own faction was difficult work and one petite demon slayer bent to keeping her record clean was not something the higher ups were deign to notice anytime soon. No, as far as she was concerned the Department of the Enma had other headaches to deal with— turf wars and all that. For foot soldiers such as herself-

She was more light on the ground.] Please hand over the statute, if you would.

[Not even the exposure of being caught in broad daylight stops the local city delinquents from using the haniwa as makeshift misery bombs. She's cornered two youths at the end of a damp and dingy alley and in their gloved hands is one of the terrible statues. They both look fit to go at her with everything they have, but they also seem extremely pale... if not very skittish. It's for this reason alone that she hasn't made any moves yet.

In the end she doesn't need to.]

I don't think you realize how dangerous it could be... and I certainly don't want to—

[Because one of the youths throws their arms back and flings the statue over her head.

"Take it if you want it so badly!"

Wonderful.

Shinobu curses and sprints towards the area where the haniwa is slowly but surely making its descent. Is it going to land and shatter? Will it land on some poor unsuspecting person's head? Will YOU catch it...?!]

Look out!

[Something doesn't feel quite right.

She's retrieved a handful of the haniwa and heard of dozes if not hundreds more still being passed about like candy among the aimless gangs. Even with hints and clues offered by the locals she's still isn't sure where to start, and needlessly picking fights with grunts was not how she wanted to spend the rest of her week.

But this time she's found herself within an eerie quiet and empty park- if one could call it that, given its size and condition. A few older occupants of the neighborhood mentioned strange occurrences happening within its radius, and really... it felt strange to boot.

She also feels as though she's being watched somehow.

How ominous!] If anyone is listening... I'd only like to take a look at your statue.

[It's as though she pulled those magic words from her heart. A group of older, more established thugs appear from the abandoned playground. One of them is carrying a haniwa and in his other hand is a hefty bat.

She sighs.

Was it really worth it? Then again, leaving such a dangerous item in the wrong hands didn't sit well with her. She tucks a stand of hair behind her ear.] I suppose there's no use in asking nicely, hm...?

[Ok, well!]

[As the prompts imply Shinobu is spending most of her time gathering as many statues as she can- feel free to catch her near Enma HQ or throw up a starter for anything else!]
