[oops, he didn't mean for that frown

he leans over to press a quick kiss to hizamaru's cheek]

Escha possessed a special ability.

Dear as they were to each other, I'm not surprised he didn't tell me until he confirmed I already knew.

[leggymaru]

[He's at least mildly assured by the cheek kiss and the explanation.]

Escha-san... [They killed her. :'(] She was special?

[banzais]

[they sure did kill her,,]

She was. She possessed an ability and additional rules to follow. Apparently there were limits on what and how she could share - but at the very least Nightclaw and Kagachi knew before what happened to her. I presume that um... Junpei knew as well.

[leggymaru]

Secret orders...

[Oh no. Bad! Wah. They murdered the heck out of her. Rest in pepperonis, Escha, one of their ability holders.] Nightwing, [but it's murmured quietly.]

Perhaps she can still help us from the other side.

[banzais]

That is what I said as well...

[though he seems thoughtful]

... even so, that is what happened. If the others cannot say things so directly and must obey the same rules, then we must be vigilant in trying to find them.

[leggymaru]

Mm.

[He nods in agreement, and then he's quiet for a bit in a thoughtful sort of way.]

Elder brother, I have something to tell you, just in case. I didn't say anything because I wanted to try on my own, but... I don't want to keep anything from you.

Tonbokiri-san and I received a note last week, and I'm not sure what it means.

[banzais]

Oh? From where?

[he tilts his head]

[leggymaru]

The strange shoes we received. The note was on the bottom of one. We thought the note was about the shoes, but... I don't think it is because the shoes did not act strange aside from... having wheels.

The note said, "They are not as they sound." I told Junpei-san and Wei Wuxian-san...

[banzais]

Eh? How scary...

Wukiri, Kagachi, and I all received a doll that can make a person perform one act according to our will.

[which is uh

separately scary]

[leggymaru]

[WOW THAT'S MORTIFYING]

Please be careful, elder brother. That sounds very powerful. If someone with bad intentions happens to get it...

[banzais]

Well, it's with Kagachi now.

[so it's probably fine!!]

There was no note with the doll, though... I wouldn't suppose that we have any clue who the 'they' in your note might be?

[leggymaru]

[Ha ha! He trusts Kagachi, that's wild! So all is well knowing the doll is with Kagachi instead of plaguing his elder brother... He sighs quietly in relief.]

I'm not sure. Junpei-san and Wei Wuxian-san didn't know either. It's strange, too, that it says "sound"? How they sound... Are we meant to be listening, or is it a human expression?

[banzais]

[hige really doesn't care at all and i wish that he did. he knows that it exists and might forget it next week]

If it is a matter of sound... could it be the voices that we all hear over the system?

[leggymaru]

[Oh! He perks just a bit, interested.]

Perhaps...? I was wondering if it happened to be Chuuya-san, and Carlos-san, and Nathan-san, and Polly-san. But listening to the voices...

Are the ones from your story who we should be listening for...?

[banzais]

I'm not sure... There seem to be a number of stories being told - all about the people who were here before us.

Did you already speak with our brother Tamamo, or... um. Kanesan-san-chan?

[presumably they will enter the gift shop now]

[leggymaru]

Tamamo-san, our brother...? I--

[WHAT THE FUCK, HIGEKIRI. HOW MANY...? Nevermind. He doesn't have time to unpack all of that right now, they have arrived at their destination.]

No... I thought about asking Kanesada-san, but I haven't yet...

[banzais]

[he's!! off to go buy things!!!]

All three of them went into a locked room the day after I did. They saw visions of people being killed, and their injuries mirror that of what they witnessed.

They also received a note that stated something about how others wanted to go to the other side of the ruins - so perhaps something like the ones that appear on the horizon.

[leggymaru]

[For now, he will release his brother's hand so that they can purchase or look at things at their leisure from the gift shop. But he seems surprised by the news.]

The ruins...? Junpei-san said recently he wondered how to reach them. I didn't know how, but... more appear when others leave us, so I told him we have to die.

Is there something on the other side...? Our friends?

[banzais]

[he's just going to grab a bunch of random stuff - the mp3 player he's been eyeing for a bit, but also he's going to grab the mystery bottle of lube and a ball gag]

Did you want to try this with me?

[momentarily distracted - sort of]

If you suggest dying again, I may have to let you see how it feels to wear this.

[holds up ball gag]

[leggymaru]

[Curiously, he watches his brother snag very random things, but he doesn't at all question it. When asked, he nods his head eagerly. He'll try anything with his anija? Anything.

But then both hands come up quickly in surrender.]

E-Elder brother! I won't say it again!

[banzais]

[haha]

Good, good.

Then we can just try it for fun.

[he's probably kidding]

[leggymaru]

[Wow, crisis averted. Or is it...?]

Okay. It looked better on you, though, elder brother... even if it did obscure what you were trying to say.

[banzais]

You think I looked good gagged and silent?

[wow]

[leggymaru]

N-No! Elder brother! That isn't what I meant at all! You look very amazing no matter what you're being forced to wear!

[STOP HELP]

[banzais]

Haha, I'm only teasing.

[probably

he looks happy to be praised anyway - and will instead just lean over to press a kiss to hizamaru's cheek]

Is there anything else you may have forgotten to tell me?
