Do things like that say things like that and you've guaranteed that I will worry about it.

[ jeez. still, he'll drop the subject with a sigh. ]

We've learned some things about the ritual they're meant to do on the fiftieth day. I assume Polly and Carlos have told you...? I wanted your opinion on it, since you may be in the same boat as those of us on the island.

[ hm! but louder this time. ]

Well. The demons gave us three potential results for the ritual. One is that they don't do it at all, and we're all trapped here forever.

[ obviously that one isn't acceptable so he's moving on quickly. ]

The second is they do the ritual, and sacrifice someone who isn't possessed by a demon. That will let all of us return home, but also give the demons free reign to play with each of our worlds however they please.

The third option is they do the ritual, and kill all of the demons while they're possessing the host - so they can't use the gun or fight the demon on it's own. If they do that, those who haven't died can go home and their worlds will be safe, but the rest of us will remain here and... [ he makes a face. ] ...potentially become demons ourselves.

[ why did I type that when you, teej, already know this ]

We are going to try other options before sending our letters to the living side. But we thought it was likely that you and Nathan would be affected by it the same way that we are, so we wanted to ask what your choice would be.

[ he's looking at chuuya expectantly now... how much of that went through, if any? ]

[ ...bad! kanesan looks pretty frustrated himself. ]

Letting us tell you isn't part of their game, then. I wonder if that means you'll be counted among the living instead... I suppose I can't complain about that, if it means you'll survive.

[ thinking out loud again. he's been doing that a lot lately. ]

May I see your wrists?

[ he wants to check for the brand. ]
namelessfighter: (sometimes he uses that one braincell)

[personal profile] namelessfighter 2019-11-19 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
What's palmistry?

[ asked as he gently takes chuuya's hands, ignoring the ribbon the moment he sees the brand. ]

So you have it, too... [ a sigh as he lets go, frowning. ] I was hoping it would be different, so you could go home with the others.

Then no, I'm not practicing it. That sounds pretty useless, anyway.

[ frowning harder! ]

You mean you can't see it? [ he'll hold out his right arm, wrist exposed to show his own. ] I've got one, too. We all do, on the other side.

There's no time to be patient. We only have a week left to find a different solution, or... [ he trails off, shaking his head and talking more to himself than to chuuya. ] No, Hizamaru was right. We'll change this history, if we have to.

Not even mine...?

[ demon magic is officially the worst? ugh. kanesan let's his hands drop to his sides again one going to his sword as if to seek its comfort. ]

We're fine on our side - don't worry about us. I trust all of you to so the right thing. Just worry about yourselves first, alright?

[ with his free hand, he brushes fingers through the end of his ponytail. ]

We'll figure it out, somehow.
namelessfighter: (lend me an ear)

[personal profile] namelessfighter 2019-11-19 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
And you really think I won't worry about you and whatever that's about?

[ waving a hand at the desk again, even though he doesn't expect chuuya to explain. he sighs and leans into the touch just a little. ]

I'm not of much use there right now, when all I have is my sword.

[ he doesn't know anything about magic or writing anything but haiku, so there isn't much he can do. asking what chuuya's choice would be was his contribution, but... ]

Are you sure you'll be alright? ...You didn't do something like Polly, did you?
namelessfighter: (getting rusty)

[personal profile] namelessfighter 2019-11-19 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
...Then I hope it was worth the risk.

[ chuuya isn't stupid. he should know better than to tempt fate in this situation- especially after what happened to polly. but kanesan won't chide him for it, settling for wrapping his arms around chuuya's shoulders to return the embrace. ]

I'm not. I will do what I can, but that isn't much when what we need is out of my area of expertise.

[ his voice is soft, resigned. kanesan knows his own limits. ]

I would leave you my sword, but that won't matter if the demons come for you, will it?
namelessfighter: (judgy mcjudgerson)

[personal profile] namelessfighter 2019-11-19 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...Probably not, or it wouldn't have come with me to the other side.

[ sigh. he really can't help anyone like this, can he? ]

Can the others help you, at least? Nathan, Higekiri, Tonbokiri, Nikkari...? Or will you be entirely on your own?

Mm... I don't like that you'll be alone in this, but I understand why you don't want to involve anyone else.

[ he hates it! but fine, he'll trust chuuya. just give him a few more moments, and he'll gently pull away, after pressing one final kiss to his forehead. ]

I suppose I should return, then.

[ he. doesn't sound like he wants to. but they both have things to attend to. ]
namelessfighter: (what a peacock)

[personal profile] namelessfighter 2019-11-22 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll do that.

[ he smiles before heading for the door. ]

Whether our plan fails or not, I think I'd like to see you one more time, before this is over.

[ except that chuuya immediately went and DIED so haha! ]
