It seems this world is similar to my own.

I will take your questions, before one of you ends up causing an incident.

If you plan to actually attempt to blend in here... find me. You will need far more than just words to guide you.

[No offense, but she's seen how some of you act... and some of your dressing attempts.

Though her attempt at offering to help maybe isn't that much better.]

[fuchsiative]

White clothes, beaded necklace, some kind of black box. Okay.

[ and now for some blank staring. ]

What's an inugami?

[kisha]

The bound spirit of a dog that was buried to the neck to die, whose rage makes of it a spirit that the diviner can then command.

[you know, normal things]

[fuchsiative]

Oh, right. That inugami.

[ totes. ]

Yeah, well hopefully I won't be going anywhere that'll require a hellhound bodyguard. But good to know I can always bluff having one around.

[kisha]

I suppose if you did put a dog skull in the box, you could threaten people with it in a pinch.

[She... supposes...]

[fuchsiative]

Let's call that Plan C.

Anything else I should know?

[kisha]

[Literally... so much. People keep asking her this and she is really not sure how to answer it so...]

Should you require physical instruction, I will make myself available.

[fuchsiative]

[ shoulda made a pamphlet, hayame... ]

I mean — if you've got the time. Seems like there's a lot of us that need the help... If you're too busy, it's fine. I'm kinda used to sticking to the shadows, anyway.

[kisha]

[have to be able to read and write to make pamphlets boo]

I am not busy, but it is your decision. I am not your master- that is Hathaway.

[fuchsiative]

No one's my master, [ clarice is quick to say, making a face. ] They're just my employer, same as everyone else.

[kisha]

Whatever word you wish to use.

[fuchsiative]

[ okay so maybe that was a little intense. ]

...Sorry. That word's just a little loaded where I'm from.

[kisha]

I use it with full weight.

[fuchsiative]

Like.

Full full weight?

[kisha]

I do not swear my service lightly.

Nor should anyone.

[fuchsiative]

Well — no. But that doesn't mean you have to go full ham, you know?

[kisha]

What is a warrior with no lord?

[Nothing, that’s what.]

[fuchsiative]

Is that what you are?

[ ... ]

Is that all you are?

[kisha]

[the briefest of pauses]

That is all that I am.

[fuchsiative]

[ ooooookay. ]

Well. I mean if that works for you.

[kisha]

I will not abandon my honor in this undertaking.

My alliegirnce lies now with Hathaway. And while yours does, you will be my ally.

[If not, well.]

[fuchsiative]

Yeah, I get it. A friend of a friend's still a friend till they're friends with my enemy.

[ and she's using that term loosely here. she knows this is all business. ]

[kisha]

While you serve Hathaway, my knowledge is yours.

[thats what she’s trying to say]

[fuchsiative]

...Yeah. [ fine, fine... ] Same here, I guess.

[kisha]

Then may you succeed in your tasks.

[fuchsiative]

Ditto.

[ ... ]

I mean... same to you. Good luck? [ that's. that's the general sentiment, right? ]
