week 1, post-execution

[banzais]

[i said hey what's up hello

higekiri wanders into the hallway after looking over his brother for the past bit of time, and he begins his rounds!! he doesn't seem to have a destination, but is completing his regular check ups on others. when he encounters shiraishi, he greets him with his usual bow at the waist]

Hello.

No demon sightings, by any chance?

[felinguistic]

[ h-hewWO

ah. look at that bow. shiraishi tilts his head in his own greeting, not making any move to return a full bow. ]

Wouldn't it be convenient if I had.

No. I suspect it's run as far down into the locked floors as it could.

[banzais]

Eh? Do you think? I have a key - perhaps it is time to use it.

[this will not happen because the mods said no more break-ins]

Hmm... At the very least, I am relieved you are well.

[felinguistic]

... You have a key and you didn't mention it?

[ boo, mods. let us break in!!! ]

All things considered. You're the one I'd expect to be struggling this week; it was your brother who was put through the wringer, yes?

Are you demon hunting for a little revenge?

[banzais]

I bought it from the gift shop - but there has been no time to use it since I purchased it.

[it doesn't really answer the rest of their issues,,]

Though I suppose you could say I am demon hunting because it is familiar to me - I will not deny I wish to see it cut down for reasons a bit more personal than that.

[he

at least admits to it pretty easily]

[felinguistic]

[ the fabled gift shop.... ]

Don’t use it quietly. If it opens a door to something interesting I’d want to see. [ but thank you for more fabled gift shop knowledge, higekiri. ]

Does the demon hunting go alongside or is it separate to the defending history and time itself part of your jobs? [ he is curious ]

Yes, well. Brothers aside. there won’t be many people here comfortable knowing what’s running loose on this ship.

[banzais]

If it's something important to the mission, then I don't mind telling people what is discovered whenever I find time to use it.

[he shrugs - simple as that.]

Mm, alongside, I suppose... At the very least, it is what my brother have done.... I think. [it's the fairly distant past, which means he's a little less likely to remember] But I cannot blame humans for growing worried when a demon is still in our midst.

[felinguistic]

[ ... shiraishi just looks thoughtful. ]

Yes. Assuming something is out there and knowing something is out there are two different things altogether. I wonder what we'll do now it's proven the barrier won't contain it.

[ it's not like there are alternative guides to barriers 101 they can peruse at their leisure here. ]

[banzais]

Hopefully not panic.

[if he has to be pragmatic,,]

We will simply have to find it and slay it as soon as we can.

[felinguistic]

Panic won't get us anywhere.

[ hm. ]

There must be a simpler method of getting rid of it. Damaging it direcly didn't seem to do a lot.

[banzais]

Charms even from those who are accustomed to making them don't seem to be very effective...

[rip wwx and nika]

Perhaps there's more in the book that the resurrected found?

[felinguistic]

[ rip those charms that didn't work. ]

Do they let people look at it, or are they protectively hoarding it?

[banzais]

I haven't asked yet... but I do know that they seem to be working - I've gone to see um, Chuuya, but Carlos is more thoughtful as well.

[felinguistic]

[ Hmmm. ]

I'm not sure what the other one is doing, but he does seem to be hearing a lot of things from someone referenced in those announcements.

[banzais]

The other one...?

[felinguistic]

[ oh no. shiraishi's mouth twists slightly. ]

The other guy. Curly hair.

[banzais]

[oh

oh my god

higekiri actually beams]

You do not know someone's name?

[felinguistic]

[ hffffff. ]

If it's not important, it's not worth remembering.

[ i'm

i'm sorry danielle. ]

[banzais]

[THIS HAS MADE HIGEKIRI'S DAY]

Mm! I agree!

[felinguistic]

[ oh

wow. ]

Brain space is better reserved for the things that matter. Like the fact our potentially possessed guides have a direct line to the spirits in this place.

[banzais]

[higekiri nods along in easy agreement]

I've lived long enough that it's hard to care about the small things, you know?

But for them... I don't know if they have a direct line - but they are at least trying to uncover additional mysteries. They have a bit more power compared to us, at least...

[felinguistic]

Long life would probably make information overload a lot easier. It makes sense. Better to dismiss the small details and memorise the bigger picture.

It sounds like it’s something close to it. He said he’s pretty sure he hears the woman the announcements refer to. Remember, he told us early on people have summoned the demons three times previously. Looking at it as logically as you can in this situation... then he probably heard this from her.

Aside from the gravity manipulation the smaller one can do, you mean?
