thoughts of a yakuza lieutenant

[bewareofdog]

Characters: Goro Majima and ANYONE.
Setting: 32nd floor.
Format: Action.
Summary: Contemplates on the Shadow nonsense that he witnessed, also possibly willing to kill some time with whoever comes and wants to wax poetically with him.
Warnings: Swearing.

[ All that Shadow shit was pretty interesting and all, but he finds that is something that the person needs to settle with themselves rather than having others get involved. Offerin' advice was all well and good, but that shit needs to be settled by the person all those thoughts were comin' from. Seems wrong to get in the way and so he found a place to stay out of the way for people to get their shit together, or not. This seems like something that he needs to pass onto his kid.

He sneezes once.

And despite liking the outdoors, he really hated his allergies. ]

[Did someone mention his kid? Well, speak of the devil.

Mondo tends to go to the forest to gather food for Chihiro's rabbit. But it's pretty rare to see someone he knows nearby. It's the sneeze that draws his attention, and he steps over to Majima.]

Ou. Old man. What're you doing up here?

[bewareofdog]

[ He rubs his nose with his gloved hands, turning his head to look to Mondo. ]

I'm contemplatin' my navel. What do ya think I'm doin'?

[ It is more like trying to throw his body upward into a sitting position than pushing himself up as he looks over to his kid. ] So, ya had one? A twin to come talk shit to ya?

[mustlovedogs]

[He bends down by Majima, in seeing the awkward position.]

Nah, didn't get none of that shit. You?

[bewareofdog]

Nope.

[ That was a little surprising given that he did have some stuff, but he accepted it so -- eh, who the fuck cared? ]

But it seems like ya gotta have a bit of a lesson. Brief one.

[mustlovedogs]

Yeah? What's that? Gonna be about those things?

[bewareofdog]

Just that sometimes ya gotta stay out of the shit other people make to let 'em figure it out. Thought about that with all them Shadows. Those things were sayin' shit that should only be talked about with the one they're reflectin', right? So, they gotta figure out if they should or shouldn't accept it on their own.

[ He waves his hand dismissively. ]

If it'll kill 'em not to, so what? People shouldn't have to accept shit before they're ready, right? And sayin' it's a life or death situation, it shouldn't make 'em change anymore than they wanna.

[mustlovedogs]

Aa, they're just gonna come back here if they get killed. Don't worry about me, know what you're talking about. Don't want to get in somebody's personal business. Same reason I didn't tell nobody 'bout Fujisaki.

[bewareofdog]

Right.

[ And it ain't his business how that is goin' either. But looks at Mondo and thinks he looks all right, so considers that it's going well. ]

But if people need advice, they can always ask.

[mustlovedogs]

Advice or help's different. If they're asking for it. But can't just butt in, nobody's business but their own. That's what really pissed me off when that bastard said he'd show our secrets. If it's a secret, it's 'cause they ain't okay with telling it yet. Something that's gotta be worked on first.

[bewareofdog]

So, the question really is... what's the cause of all this? They every figure that out ... 'cause that's what needs to be dealt with first.

[slamdunk]

[Yo buddy! Nero walks up to the guy.]

...What? You sick?

That's what you get for not eatin' right.

[bewareofdog]

I ain't sick.

It's allergies. But I like the outdoors ... so ya suck it up and deal with it.

[ And points to Nero. ]

Enjoyed yer oatmeal?

[slamdunk]

Why do you keep bringin' that shit up...

[it was gross.]

[bewareofdog]

It was all I could think about when I got here.

[ 'Cause losin' everyone and havin' to swallow that shit had made things even more difficult. 'ch. ]

[slamdunk]

[Nero shrugged.]


Guess you got that right, I've been asking people about the oatmeal here too. Can't ever shake that taste, you know?

[bewareofdog]

It leaves a bad taste in yer mouth. The thought of everyone dyin', huh?

[ He clicks his tongue once. ]

I still haven't gotten used to it. But then, I know people who are stronger than even the world blowin' up. Promised to kill 'im myself, so... hopefully, ya got something like that, too.

[slamdunk]

...Promised... to kill him?

[he's kind of interested.]

[bewareofdog]

[ His voice grows high-pitched and amused. ]

That's right! He's my friend, and I'm the only one allowed to kill him. If he died so easily, I'd be real disappointed. Really disappointed!

[slamdunk]

I think you need to call someone to talk about these kinds of issues.

[pointerpixl]

[In a place like here, butterflies with slightly neon wings in a forest doesn't seem all that unusual when you have bastardizations of animals that are supposed to be cute and cuddly along with the normal ones. So it's not especially noteworthy that one lands on a leaf nearby. (Luckily, by now, she's perfected the art of flight as a butterfly without having to rely on some indistinct magic to do it for her.)

What's less normal is that it talks.]

Bless you... Are you ill, by any chance?

[...Well, at least once you get past the butterfly part, Tippi's more than cool with waxing poetic.]

[bewareofdog]

No... I'm absolutely... Haw?

[ He looks around confused before rubbing his nose once. Eh? ]

Didn't someone ask me somethin'? [ Majima looks around a bit more before stretching back out. ] Best not be a Shadow, 'cause I'll definitely shank a bitch.

[pointerpixl]

N-No, wait! I'm not a Shadow! Please don't shank me!

[Frantic flapping of wings ensues, and then she decides to land a couple inches away from his feet to make herself more visible.]

I was the one who said that... Right here, at your feet.

[bewareofdog]

The shit?

Yer a fairy?

I'm so, so sorry for being a snail ;;

[pointerpixl]

Um, I'm a Pixl, but that might be close enough...

[She waggles her antennae at him timidly.]

I'm sorry, am I intruding? You sounded like you had a cold, so I was concerned...

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

[bewareofdog]

I got allergies.

[ The shit? He wonders if he's high from the pollen. ]

A pixel? The hell is that?
