[THERE'S A BED chuuya took them to his actual bedroom and not the office meeting space, it's huge and it's fancy and very comfortable. they did not fuck on a desk.]
I mean, I know what's in it. It just looks like it's a sparkly dick to me, is all.
[thanks for clarifying even tho that does not save us from future endeavors]
Mm, I bought... a 'clue voucher' and a key! [he looks pretty happy about this actually. hige finally got his souvenirs even if they're not from paris] I don't know where the key goes to...
Not engaging is a guarantee they're going to kill you... but they got Polly and Carlos even though they'd done it, yeah?
[he's frowning thoughtfully, considering his words.]
...there's not much else I can say. We're keeping an eye on things, but we don't-- our information doesn't cover everything. Looks like we have to see what happens and hope we know something about it.
...still nothing yet. But if you keep paying me visits like this-- I think sex is one of your options to get more out of us. A tradeoff, you know? Feels like a weird system to me, but if it's how things work, then we're going to have to go with it.
[like, stick with chuuya if you want, hige, he doesn't mind--]
It's more like... if you want something specific out of one of us, you'll probably have to sleep with us for it? The particulars are a little fuzzy, but-- keep coming back, and I think that's going to help you out here.
If you haven't asked any of the others yet, it'll probably help more if you stick with me. I don't think it's really a collaborative effort.
[hige is well aware that he's cute and it's criminal!! but that doesn't actually manage to pull away from the sincerity in his smile that comes after that]
You've been very good at looking after me so far.
[hige got answers?? he's pleased tbh]
Please let me know if there's any way that I can return the favor - normally I'm the one doing the protecting, you know?
...yeah, to an extent. It's probably better that my subordinates aren't here, considering everything, but-- I'm used to keeping an eye on them. Having some of them around. It's a little weird to go drinking without Hirotsu and Kajii.
[his brows furrow there as he mutters, a little more to himself-]
Wonder what Anesan would have to say about all this, too.
no subject
[ever since the cafeteria??? but regardless hige will just hum thoughtfully at that]
That still sounds rather fun... I got some items from the gift shop as well - can I ask why that shiny dick is so expensive? Is it a treasure?
no subject
[he shrugs his shoulders casually.]
Could be. For all I know, they just thought someone might want to have a fancier one. Maybe it's just for display, or something.
no subject
[higekiri will just let his head rest on the pillow at that - did they at least get to a bed, teej?? is there a bed??? please,,]
Then you're not familiar with the items in the gift shop? I had questions...
no subject
I mean, I know what's in it. It just looks like it's a sparkly dick to me, is all.
What other questions did you have?
no subject
Mm, I bought... a 'clue voucher' and a key! [he looks pretty happy about this actually. hige finally got his souvenirs even if they're not from paris] I don't know where the key goes to...
Or where I get my clues?
no subject
The key's for those locked rooms. If you want to get into one, that'll help-- but it'll only get you in.
[no two-way passes! after another few moments of thought, he adds:]
The clues, you don't have to worry about until this weekend.
no subject
but higekiri just seems to be happy about the answers?? he leans over to press a kiss to chuuya's temple as a thanks]
Is something happening this weekend? Another exorcism?
[does he get to CUT a DEMON]
no subject
Like Nathan said, we can expect a repeat, so... just make sure you guys get things figured out again.
no subject
but regardless he hums softly at that]
Oh? Even if everyone engages in the fucking coitus, there might still be danger...?
no subject
[he's frowning thoughtfully, considering his words.]
...there's not much else I can say. We're keeping an eye on things, but we don't-- our information doesn't cover everything. Looks like we have to see what happens and hope we know something about it.
no subject
You're all still doing your best to discern more answers, aren't you? As long as that's the case... you have my trust.
[so hige won't press any more for things chuuya can't give hm answers to - he'll just go and do some digging on his own]
no subject
[that gets a little grin out of him, fingers combing idly through higekiri's hair. fluffy...]
no subject
baby lioncat]Mm, that's true... but it's not like you chose for anything to happen this way, right?
You and... uh, Nathan will be safe on Thursday?
[or does he have to figure out how to break spells so he can protect his small npc friend]
no subject
Yeah, we ought to be fine. You don't have to worry about us too much, all right?
no subject
Mm, okay. Then I'll just look after my brother.
No leads on a way for me to protect him better...?
[he's going to ask this every time chuuya i'm sorry]
no subject
chuuya pauses again, thinking.]
...still nothing yet. But if you keep paying me visits like this-- I think sex is one of your options to get more out of us. A tradeoff, you know? Feels like a weird system to me, but if it's how things work, then we're going to have to go with it.
no subject
I have to fucking coitus with you all in order to protect my brother?
[hm]
Okay, I guess.
[that makes as much sense to him as the rest of this place??]
no subject
[like, stick with chuuya if you want, hige, he doesn't mind--]
It's more like... if you want something specific out of one of us, you'll probably have to sleep with us for it? The particulars are a little fuzzy, but-- keep coming back, and I think that's going to help you out here.
If you haven't asked any of the others yet, it'll probably help more if you stick with me. I don't think it's really a collaborative effort.
no subject
[he'll just
let his head rest more heavily in chuuya's hand then]
Then please continue to take care of me.
no subject
I like to think I'm pretty good at that. You can call on me whenever you want.
[or just like let me know when you want to handwave bc that's still valid]
no subject
You've been very good at looking after me so far.
[hige got answers?? he's pleased tbh]
Please let me know if there's any way that I can return the favor - normally I'm the one doing the protecting, you know?
no subject
[he breathes out a little laugh at that, shaking his head.]
I'm used to trying to keep the people working for me safe, so I don't know much about being on the other end of that... but I'll let you know.
no subject
[so he'll be around for chuuya to ask favors from whenever, he thinks??]
Do you miss your - mm, men? Soldiers? Troops...?
[he doesn't know the modern word for it]
no subject
[his brows furrow there as he mutters, a little more to himself-]
Wonder what Anesan would have to say about all this, too.
no subject
... Anesan...? You have a sister?
[siblings....!!]
