Is this how it works? Ha! Got it!

Hey, this is the equivalent of getting in touch with the mighty Kumou Tenka - yours truly - if I'm otherwise busy. Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Talk to you soon.

also this song is actually kinda catchy? the future is weird

[deontology]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[LOOK HE WAS FIGHTING CLOWNS, DEAL WITH IT--

also hell no]

[sunshrouded]

you're always dramatic

[sunshrouded]

[sunshrouded]

and that's what makes you

6 minutes later

[sunshrouded]

i hate clowns

[deontology]

shut up

i'm waiting for you. hurry up

[Tap tap tapping his foot in front of their apartment.]

[sunshrouded]

ok you know that one vending machine that's always out of rice crackers by our place

[sunshrouded]

do i make a right or a left

[yeah he's lost]

[sunshrouded]

also did you turn heads when you walked through the door

[deontology]

left

[LITERALLY IGNORES THE REST]

[sunshrouded]

i don't get why it's dark

[sunshrouded]

the song says you're supposed to light up my world like nobody else

[sunshrouded]

also turn around

[deontology]

[He turns.

And chucks a ball of trash that he'd picked up at Tenka's head.

You're welcome.]

[sunshrouded]

[okay yeah no he's ducking and honestly just wheezing so hard from laughter]

I personally think it was a very uplifting message!

[deontology]

[shut up, Tenka.]

That's not important right now. Have you only encountered clowns?

[sunshrouded]

Yeah, honestly. I didn't run into any of the normal citizens.

[Which makes him feel very concerned and honestly a little useless. But hopefully by taking out the clowns, he'd managed to save a few more people as a result.]

How about you? Something about demonic Shinsengumis? As in like actual demons and not just really grouchy like you?

[deontology]

[...??? excuse??? Tenka did you call him an oni.... he's nothing like a demon. HE'S FROM THE ABE FAMILY that is like...the opposite of demons.]

Don't be ridiculous. [Ugh.] Have you met Okita Souji?

[He knows Tenka will recognize the name as well as he does.]

He was not himself, when I encountered him.

[sunshrouded]

[Sousei's personality is demon-like sometimes, okay. Tenka should know. He's been on his grouchy side for 10 years-

Anyway.]

I actually have, weird as it is to say.

[Though now he sounds concerned-]

So he's... actually afflicted with something? Did he just randomly attack you?

[deontology]

[if anything, tenka is the demon. DEMON IN DISGUISE.

But Sousei just nods quite calmly.]

Yes.

[YEP HE SURE DID.]

His hair turned white and his eyes were likely red. [It was hard to tell from the scant light but he's pretty sure...]

And... he did not feel entirely human. [But also not entirely demon... though Sousei doesn't exactly trust those senses, since he doesn't really focus on it much. If only Ashiya was here now.]

[sunshrouded]

[plot twist the sun is the demon

Though honestly... Tenka is just sighing in response to that. Why is it always white hair? Why is it always red eyes? Well, at least his eyes didn't turn purple.]

That's... definitely a problem.

Do you think he's out of his mind enough to attack innocent people?

[deontology]

[Particularly demonic??? Beats him, honestly. He'd ask his family but lol Abe family.]

...Yes, I think he might.

[Sousei's expression twists a little. He probably should have stopped him there, but...well, there was no way he was getting out of that fight without an injury, if with his life, if he'd taken on Souji like that.]

There are others of the Shinsengumi here, but... I am unsure if they are aware.

[sunshrouded]

[That's even more of a problem. Tenka winces a bit, honestly thinking about all the issues that could come up if you have a Shinsengumi captain turning into a demon. A lot of lives could definitely be lost as a result.]

... They're going to have to find out sooner or later. And one way might be the hard way.
