[invinciblemikey]

Who ⬤ manjiro sano, aka mikey, and you? ah, and a closed for toman!
What ⬤ substories and a lil' sleeping beauty prompt, as well as dealing with the elephant in the room (kazutora) for the tokyo manji. i will most likely update this log as time goes!
When ⬤ september!
Where ⬤ all them places and an abandoned shop
Content Warnings ⬤ well. extreme violence, language, dissociation, mental health issues, psychosis, delusion, and the sad reminder that mikey, kazutora, and baji are 15 years old while this is all happening.

Get t'save some people who deserve it.

[ So. His contract is also his priority. ]

[invinciblemikey]

(and that, too, is mikey's contract, which is why he goes quiet. the more troubled he feels, the more a smile comes out.

here he has one.)

I suppose - I'd like to propose a partnership rather than an integration. Tokyo Manji is just too precious to all of us, and being under anyone would be troublesome and it would make us more scattered rather than united. Some of us have been together since we were toddlers, it's part of our identity at this point. Would that be interesting to you?

[no_kyouken]

[ That's something he would need to take to Toraguma and Toraguma is not available right now, emotionally. Which puts it right back on Majima's plate. ]

Need ya'll to earn yer stripes. Do some work around town this month. Month's show of good faith ain't a big ask, yeah?

[ And then he's willing to try out trusting them to manage their own. ]

[invinciblemikey]

Well, of course. We're working on that. Reputation where no one has heard of you means nothing, after all.

(and man, he misses it. 'invincible' was a delicious title. he is probably not here, but damn if he won't be.)

[no_kyouken]

[ He gives a vague motion in agreement. ]

All right. Then I'll meet yer guys, th'other lieutenant should too. Ya'll like t'eat?

[invinciblemikey]

... You sure y'all wanna feed 5 growing teens? Who doesn't like to eat? -- Maybe not growing. Some shouldn't grow.

(kenchin, 185. baji, 175. mitsuya, 170. takemichi, 165. mikey, 161. only the two latter should. everyone else is fine.)

[no_kyouken]

Don't worry about it.

[ They can't eat more than he can. The snake possessing him is a bottomless pit. Majima reaches into his jacket for something to write on. It ends up being the back of an envelope with the address of the restaurant. It is absolutely nothing fancy. He also scribbles down the address to Emily's clinic, ]

An' this is a faction-neutral doctor. She can help ya'll out if ya get into any scrapes.

[ As he fails to mention she is his girlfriend. ]

[invinciblemikey]

(toman wouldn't even know how to behave somewhere fancy, so it's a relief that it's nothing but. taking the envelope with a bowl, he sets it in his pocket.)

That's valuable. She really doesn't mind?

[no_kyouken]

Bein' a doctor is important to her.

[ More important than faction bullshit, although she is getting much better at that part too. ]

[invinciblemikey]

You sound like good friends.

(hah.)

[no_kyouken]

We all got here together from Hakagemachi.

[ Emily, Izo, Gojyo, Lalli, Guangyao. They are knit together with a shared horror they experienced. Spread across clans but this able to pick each other out in any crowd: all yokai possessed. ]

S'another yokai town.

[invinciblemikey]

I didn't even know this was that normal - you been in two? That's a fuckload.

[no_kyouken]

There's... maybe eight of us around? Ain't that normal.

[ Out of how many people end up here? They're a pittance. ]

[invinciblemikey]

And there are six of us. I wonder why some of us seem to come alone and others come in big waves.

[no_kyouken]

Dunno, that's just how it is. Folks come in from all over.
