[The next time Higekiri opens a door, he'll find that it leads somewhere... unexpected. The first and most noticeable feature is that the opposite wall is entirely windowed, offering an expansive view of the sky; to see anything else, he'll have to approach. The rest of the room is a large, lavishly decorated office with an imposing desk to one side and several plush chairs and side-tables near the window.
Chuuya's seated at the desk, but he glances up when Higekiri appears, pushing himself up to step away from it.]
Hey, you made it. I'll be honest, I didn't think you'd work out the request function so fast-- it isn't really something we got to decide.

Paris...? No, we're still in the same place, technically. I think. But this room came from Yokohama.
[listen, he's not questioning it too much, he likes his room. he tilts his head, though-]
You sent a photo with the app, remember? Makes you send a pic of yourself to get an appointment in?

[oh - his expression lights up a little bit at that, in recognition]
Japan...? [HELL YEA] Mm, how nice then.
[BETTER THAN PARIS]
Oh... Did I do that? It must've been an accident. I wasn't able to send the image of the wine... Was it a good picture of me?
[hm]

Eh, it was good enough for the app to accept it? Accidental ones are never as good as intentional, though.
[but, ah. clearly he didn't actually figure it out...]
It only accepts-- you know. Sexy photos of yourself. [he sounds tired.] I think there was enough bare skin in that one to work.

I don't. Personally, I'd prefer if the device would let you just send me a note, but it seems like you're going to have to write it on your chest or something for that to work.
[like, maybe he wouldn't say no either because OBJECTIVELY, higekiri is hot
but he's not asking for them]

I think it'll be more interesting than just getting yet another shirtless pic, so-- sure, go for it.
[dana please understand he COULD be telling higekiri dick pics also work.
i could be making you go take a photo of dick to see if it works.]

Oh, I already made those before I was brought here. I'm an executive in my organization-- only the boss is above our level.
[the bottle gets an approving nod, though, and he'll produce a pair of glasses for them, holding a hand out.]
Here. Let me see that, I can get it opened much easier.

Oh, thank you.
[sure chuuya can take the bottle. higekiri just did his best to find something that looked appropriately fancy and like. old. he just wanted to find something old because that's more likely to be a treasure that's literally what his thought process was]
Mm... I had a question to ask that I didn't get to before. But I've been told that humans might not respond very quickly...
Is it okay that I ask, even if I know you might not answer?

You can ask whatever you want. I can't always promise you answers, but I'm not going to tell you to keep your mouth shut.
[in the meantime he takes the bottle, pressing a fingertip to the cork; it glows red, and he effortlessly pops the cork out, beginning to pour them each a glass.]

[this
this has nothing to do with plot this is just higekiri being higekiri]
The one who shares your name... He told me that you were a murderer, and that's why I should like him more than you.
[DON'T JUST THROW PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS, HIGE]
But I don't often mind murderers. [he shrugs... all samurai are murderers and he's from a samurai family] I just wanted to know why you do it. There must be something you love, or want to protect, more than anything else... isn't it?

Shit, you weren't kidding about it being that kind of question.
[chuuya takes a long sip from his glass of wine, silently passing the other one to higekiri.]
I do it because it's my job, Higekiri-san. You have your uses, and I have mine, right?

[there's a semi-sheepish little smile - though he doesn't seem that sorry for asking. he was given permission, after all. he nods his gratitude when he takes the wine glass]
Mm. I understand.
[and it sounds like he means it - he kills because he is a sword, chuuya kills because he has something that urges him to]
So you are... a commander? A general?
[he doesn't know what executive means, but he also doesn't think that chuuya could be described as a common soldier]
Mm. I understand.

Something like a general, yeah. I answer to the leader, and I've got a good number of men who answer to me.
[he leans back in his chair, crossing one leggy over the other.]
But no matter what our boss's orders are, they're absolute.

Mm, it sounds familiar.
[and higekiri nods easily at that, easily taking a sip of wine now that he's confirmed that he's not just sipping drinks with someone whose ideals he can't understand at all]
Then I can say with confidence that I still like you plenty.

You're used to that too, yeah? I figure all of you guys would be.
[given... the sword thing...
but he raises his glass to higekiri there, with a grin.]
The feeling's mutual. You've made for pretty decent company so far.
[especially considering some people here are totally down to just kill him
he's used to it.]

Is that so? Then thank you for the compliment.
[he seems very happy at that - like he's still figuring out how to be a person and how to be acceptable company but also he's bumblefucking his way through and it seems to be going okay]
I had no body or will of my own before this...
Being able to interact with others is fun.
[though okay - he might actually have plot questions now]
Oh! And do you know what type of gifts I could get?
[he means from the gift shop, please someone give him a decent gift]

[haha... yeah, feeling like you're in charge of yourself is a wild time, huh.
he doesn't say so, but a slight smile tugs at his lips at that comment; it's not really the same, and also, like hell he's telling a near stranger he kind of knows the feeling on a more metaphorical level, even a near stranger he likes.]
You're getting all kinds of chances to explore having a body then, huh? Lucky you... except for being trapped here.
[but hey, new experiences, right?]
As far as the gifts... you'll see what's available really soon, promise. I can't really give you more of a sneak peek than you already got when you visited the shop.

Mm, well... In truth - if everyone was safe, I don't think I would mind being here very much. Being able to talk to all of you is something new - and I like when things are lively.
[when he gets to experience things he never had before... but he hums softly at that]
I suppose... Do you remember if Polly or Carlos ever mentioned what it was they purchased?

They didn't mention anything about it to me, no. Just be a little more patient, okay?
[gift shop is coming, he can buy presents.]
...but yeah, it might not be a bad little vacation except for the part where we're trapped in this haunted-ass place.

[hige isn't
very good at being patient]
Mm, that's true... Do you know the reason why we all fell asleep on Thursday night? Or do I need to wait for that as well?
[at least it just sounds like a genuine question, rather than trying to make chuuya feel bad. he's just gotta prepare if he's gotta be a patient sword]

That's... I can't say much about that, beyond 'it's just a thing that happens'. Try to be careful this week, okay? Wouldn't want you to get caught in the middle of something because you passed out in the wrong place.
[he likes this sword, okay.]
