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.

[sunshrouded]

[sunshrouded]

[sunshrouded]

[deontology]

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

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

also hell no]

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.]
