[Welcome back to the office, Kanesan. He'll be pulled here not too long after sending that pic-- enough time to get some clothes back on, at least-- and Chuuya grins as he pops into existence, standing from his chair.]
Izuminokami, hey-- good to see you again.
[...it's kind of a relief, being able to see people again here.]

[ it might take a moment for him to realize what's happened because THAT WAS A BIT SUDDEN?? but once he recognizes where he is, kanesan is already smiling and turning toward chuuya. ]
You too, Chuuya. I wasn't we'd be able to speak again, after...
[ you know. the whole death thing. ]

We can't really tell you guys anything about how it works when you're still alive... but I was hoping you'd figure it out pretty quickly.
[he gestures for kanesan to take a seat, settling back into his own chair.]
...good work slipping that hint by him, by the way. They were a little stupid about it, but it helped get him in the end.

I would have sent the request earlier, but it seems there were some things to work out before Nikkari or his partner could summon any of us.
[ he'll sit though, smiling wryly. ]
I don't know that I'd call it a good job, when I was still broken, in the end. But it is a relief to know that they caught him.

If you're going to die, make sure they come down with you. Right? And you did, even if it wasn't the same night.
[he's proud of you, okay, kanesan.]
...I wish it would've worked out differently, but the fact that it didn't isn't your fault. You more or less took out two of them in a week.

Exactly. I suppose I have Tamamo to thank for making it happen.
[ this is part of why he likes chuuya - he wouldn't make a bad commander, or even a bad master. ]
This demon just so happened to pick the right host to play to my weaknesses, that's all. Tactically, it was the best choice he could have made. Under any other circumstances, I would have fared much better - or at least damaged him more before falling.
[ with this, kanesan's smile fades and he dips his head in a slight bow. ]
I'm sorry to have failed you. I was hoping to lend my sword to you for a while longer.

...oi.
[he stands at that, brow furrowed slightly as he crosses over to kanesan's chair-
and when he reaches it, he reaches out and sets a hand on his head.]
I hoped you would too, but don't go and apologize to me. If you fought your best against him and he just had the upper hand... you still went out fighting. That's the best way for anyone like us to go.
[...though he grins, just slightly.]
Maybe I'm a little bit of a hypocrite, though. I'd be apologizing to my boss too, in your place.

[ he allows this without any protest. it brings a small smile back to his face, at least. ]
Maybe that's why we get along so well.
...I don't plan on giving up. Whatever I can do from the other side to help, however small, I will do it. Though I can say it isn't nearly as interesting without you there to talk to... I may visit again, if you don't mind.

I'll never say no to a little extra company.
[a little ruffle of kanesan's hair, there, before he steps back and settles back into his own seat.]
But I never expected anything less from you-- you're not the type to just sit back if there's something you can do, are you?

Oi, oi, stop that!
[ he's not going to answer properly until he's fixed his hair, huffs. maybe he's pouting a little when he does. chuuya knows by now that appearances are important to him! ]
No, I'm not. Isn't that why you chose me? [ did chuuya even make that decision? he's just assuming. ] But I imagine I'll have a lot more free time now than I know what to do with.
...I take it you've already found someone else to help you?

[i was reminded i lost this notif... rip the good boys!!
but chuuya just laughs as he fixes his hair-- yes, he knows, but that's exactly why he chose to tease this way.]
Your hair looks just as good a little messed up, don't worry. Especially against a pillow.
[he has to be This Way, unfortunately.]
...I don't know if I can tell you much about what's going on, but you don't have to worry too much about us. We'll make sure things get done-- and you'll always be welcome here if you have too much extra time.

Do you see any pillows around here?
[ jeez. he's not arguing the point - of course he still looks good, even when his hair's a bit messy? he always does - but kanesan will very pointedly wait until he's done fixing it to continue the conversation. ]
I thought that would be the case. [ it was worth asking about anyway. ] That doesn't mean I won't think about it - there's no way for us to know what's going on, you know. But I won't ask.
[ hard as that may be... ]
Will you tell me about your world instead, Chuuya?

[he's always pleased to see kanesan! and that's even more apparent with the fox ears and tail he's got this week-- his ears perk, tail swishing in a near-wag as he beckons kanesan in.]
Welcome back. Come on, make yourself comfortable.
Welcome back. Come on, make yourself comfortable.
...sure, if you want to know.
[he looks slightly surprised at the question? but chuuya considers a moment before he stands, gesturing for kanesan to join him as he walks over to stand at the window.
the city spreads out below them until it reaches the sea, which stretches out to the horizon.]
This is home. Yokohama. My organization controls the underworld here.

[ he'll follow, pausing only when he hears the name. ]
Yokohama... I've been here once, but it wasn't like this.
[ there's a note of sorrow, faint but still present, in his voice as kanesan takes in the city. whether it's for whatever's changed, or something else, he doesn't explain. instead he opts for a wry smile. ]
The underworld, eh? So if things were different, we'd be on opposite sides of the battlefield.

[ excuse me
ears?
tail?
what?
kanesan may or may not have had something to say when he arrives, but it's forgotten the second he sees chuuya, as he immediately strides over to touch one of his ears. rude? sorry chuuya. ]
They're real...?
[ even kogitsune's "ears" are really just his hair?? ]

-hah, yeah. We probably would be-- though I guess the Mafia's been known to work with the law when we absolutely have to. The enemy of my enemy, and all... besides, where would we do business if we let the city get destroyed?
[whether this would count or not, it's good to be on the same side here, honestly.
he doesn't miss that sorrowful note in kanesan's voice, either, pausing for a moment before he asks-]
What was it like for you?

Oi, oi--
[that ear twitches at his touch; it's definitely real! it's soft, too.]
Careful with those... you could ask first, you know.
[... but he's not pushing kanesan away or stepping back, so he might well have said yes if he had asked.]

Mm, I could see Hijikata choosing to work with an organization like yours, if he had to... as long as you didn't support the Reformists, of course. He was known for doing what was necessary to support the Shinsengumi's cause, even if it wasn't considered honorable by others.
[ it takes a moment for him to respond to the question, smile fading as his expression turns thoughtful. ]
It wasn't as bright, for one. The port had just opened about ten years before I was forged, so it was still much smaller than this. We didn’t stay long, though, so there wasn’t a chance to see much of it, anyway.

Aha, sorry, sorry. I wasn't expecting to see you like this. They're... soft.
[ one last touch, and he'll pull back so he's not totally in chuuya's personal space. ]
Is it something like when we all saw each other's memories?

So you saw it in the past, huh...
[he peers out the window, his expression thoughtful. he's never really thought about how it must have looked back then-- chuuya's only ever known it as the city it is now.]
I mean, I knew it had to be built at some point, but I've never looked into it-- I've always been more concerned with the Yokohama I know than how it used to be.
[a hum, and-]
How's it feel, seeing things grow like that?

Something like that, yeah-- everybody's got these this week, just from different animals.
[he sets his chin in his palm, eyeing kanesan with a little grin.]
Wonder what yours would've been?
[he sets his chin in his palm, eyeing kanesan with a little grin.]
Wonder what yours would've been?
Before I even had this body to see it with, yes.
[ that's a difficult thing to explain to a human, however, so kanesan moves on. why would chuuya want to know those details, anyway? ]
Our country was on the verge of being reforged by the time I was even born, so I can't say it's unexpected. But it is... strange, to see how much things have changed from the world I knew.
[ he shakes his head. ]
Time moves on no matter what, so there's no use in dwelling on things like that.

[ I hate that he's going to give this some real thought but here we are. after a moment, he nods. ]
The Shinsengumi were called the Wolves of Mibu. If I were still on this side with you, that's probably what it would be.

A wolf... yeah, I think I could see that.
[he hums, then laughs quietly at the next thing to come to mind--]
Though I wouldn't be surprised if you were something a little flashier, either.
