SUBSTORY: WELCOME TO THE NIGHT PARADE (I)
("Outta the way, outta the way!"
A group of smaller youkai yell. They might not be big but what they lack in size, they make up for in number in spirit. They push their way through the crowd carrying a portable shrine. It's a diverse group made up of smaller youkai and spirits— little oni, cats walking on hind legs, a one eyed umbrella, something with a face as large as its body, and fish-looking creature that flails across the ground as it makes its way through.
Do you get out of the way? Or do you miss the warning in all of the hustle and bustle?
In the case of the latter, you can expect one of several things to happen…)
A.
(Hizen loudly snaps at you,)
Oi! Pay attention and get out of the way!
(You probably don't want to get caught up with these little guys. Their patience is as little as they are. The shorter the person, the shorter their temper. If you'd like to avoid confrontation, Hizen can suddenly grab your character by the arm and pull the aside. Alternatively, you can just let the crowd crash into you. Maybe he'll help?)
B.
(Or maybe you're helping Hizen with setting up for someone's game stand. Have you noticed that the owner won't actually let either of you help with getting the game part together? Leave that part to them (so they can rig it). You and Hizen can set up the prize wall made up of different masks and toy weapons.
As the little procession goes by, Hizen stops for a moment to stare and mutters,)
The "parade of a hundred demons," huh...
(He sounds like he might know something?)
SUBSTORY: WELCOME TO THE NIGHT PARADE (II)
(It's security detail!
… Or really, it's more like crosswalk duty.
On the night of the parade, you and Hizen will be expected to keep the pedestrians from crossing the street before their turn. Instead, you'll wait for scheduled stops in the parade that will give enough time for people to get to the other side.
Before the parade begins, you'll have to help set up the barrier using cones or barrels or what have you. And the person in charge of overseeing? It's a long-necked woman that keeps looking over your shoulder and telling you the barriers are too close or too far from the street. The crosswalk openings are too narrow or too wide. She keeps picking at everything you're doing! Is this your first night parade? Do you have any idea what you're doing? She asks for help and she gets sent a bunch of fresh lost souls who have no idea what they're doing!
She doesn't even have the courtesy to say this behind your back. She's right there with her long neck, complaining right in your ear. Or Hizen's ear.
And he looks like he's going to snap. )
SUBSTORY: LOOK AT THIS SWEET JACKET
(The first step to any assignment is gathering information. It's time to get to find the bridge in question and meet the client. Hizen checks the writing on one of the columns at the end of the bridge and looks over to you,)
This is it. (This is the bridge.)Looks pretty normal.
(He's unimpressed. But because timing is comedic, as soon as he finishes speaking, a man gets tossed back across the bridge, rolls like a ball, and stops right in front of them.)
...
(Hizen looks down and... looks away. He sure is going to make you take care of the talking first)

no subject
Instead, he focuses on the rest of Ryouma's explanation.
Heroic spirit. He tenses, eyes flashing with annoyance before he looks away, setting his cup down and seriously considers just leaving. He hates this. This is truly hell. )
But some things are.
(The same. Sakamoto Ryouma will always be a revolutionary hero. Just like that guy will always be a treasured regalia. In comparison...)
no subject
[ just as with izΕ, ryouma won't try to brush aside however hizen feels by making excuses for himself or arguing it. even if it's technically not his issues to take on, he accepts it anyway, like he always does. ]
The other thing about Servants is that it's necessary to hide our True Names because knowing them can reveal a lot β capabilities, weaknesses, ...you understand. You can call me Rider.
[ effectively confirming it without outright confirming it? who else could he be? it's a risk, but he's known since he made the decision to follow and not just walk away in the first place that it was probably going to come out. that gives hizen an advantage over him, so if he really wanted to make things harder for him, hizen has the means.
all the same, ryouma peers over at hizen's cup before he reaches over and refills it. just take it, it's a gesture. ]
But that takes care of introductions, right? In which case, if my theory is correct, then I should thank you.
no subject
Secret information. Secret weaknesses. Secret advantages. Why is he telling him this? It's not like he's that guy. It's not like he's his. Is this supposed to make them equal? Even? No, it has to be pity. That's what it is and he refuses to be looked down on. He shoves his chair out from under him and stands on his own two feet, looking down,)
Shut up. Save your thanks.
(The time for gratitude is long passed.)
We've got nothing to do with each other. (Clenching his fists,) Go find someone better.
no subject
[ ryouma doesn't get it and he doesn't know if it's the right thing to say or if it might just get him in deeper as far as pissing hizen off, but of course he's just like this when he feels strongly about something. ]
You helped IzΕ out, didn't you? So, you deserve to be thanked for that. Thank you for doing your best.
[ maybe things are too different in hizen's world? maybe he's just pouring selfish feelings out and complicating things because he doesn't know better. it's a headache, that's what it is. so he'll just... feel this out, for better or worse. ]
no subject
(Shut up.
And there he goes. Running his mouth all over again. Not even the offer of sake is enough to win Hizen over now. It's not enough when he has to share it with this company.
Bringing up Izo really does just make things worse and more complicated. He knows the two of them are childhood friends. It was their relationship that led to him being given away in the first place. For all of his feelings about Izo, he isn't really the problem either. He's a sword. Swords are tools and they're supposed to be used. He was given a purpose and that became him.
But this guy...)
I didn't-- (Do anything. He was just a tool. He still is.) You don't...
(...)
I'm leaving.
no subject
... I know. And you were patient enough to put up with me this long, so I'm grateful for that too.
[ there's a lot ryouma could say, but he restrains himself. he's arguably said way too much. ]
no subject
Just say you're disappointed. Just say you wanted this to go a different way. Gods, don't be so nice. Don't be so friendly. Just--
All he can articulate is a frustrated growl. He turns and leaves. Quickly.)
