Who: (Saruhiko) Fushimi + you
When: IC August 23rd-30th
Where: Around
What: So apparently those two jackass teenaged shinki are staying. Fushimi doesn't approve of this and is getting the heck out for a while.

[Yeah, so, after realizing Roy had taken in two abandoned shinki and that one of them was the Asshole from the Festival and the other his strangely codependent best friend (which Fushimi thought was concerning and really he should maybe try to fix that (yes, the irony is lost on him)), Fushimi has been doing his best to either hide in is bedroom or be anywhere not the damn temple. He can't really get mad at Roy for taking them in. He was a genuinely decent guy and sure, Fushimi was now dealing with this fear of being replaced if one of the brats was a weapon better suited for Roy, but he also knew he was the exemplar and, frankly, there would be few abilities better than his for fighting so he's okay. He swears.

Still getting out for a while.]

The Far Shore

[Fushimi is most likely going to be found around Njord's temple a lot. Misaki is there, after all, even if he's not really keen on the whole "beach" air she's got going on here. He'll also spend a lot of time just sort of. Sitting outside of it, texting Misaki to come invite him or waiting for the idiot to get back so he can be let in, typing away at his laptop.

This may or may not be creepy. Feel free to call him out on this.

Or feel free to see him wandering around, bored and poking at his phone.]

The Near Shore

[Sometimes he gets bored of being dead and heads into Tokyo. Usually, this is to find some tech something, as the more Fushimi messes with technology the more he realizes that he can make more interesting things. Still, parts are always useful, as are games, so he does often find something to buy.

Please don't ask how he gets this money. He does not want to explain "forum moderation" and "freelance codework" to someone he doubts will get it.

And he certainly doesn't want anyone to bring up the questionable legality of some of the freelance he does. What are morals?]

Wildcard!

[Want to do a thing I didn't mention? Let me know!]

Comments

[monkeyblue]

I haven't given him a chance to, because I'm not a moron. Is your god here? I still haven't met her.

[thevanguard]

Probably, but if she is, she's in the house.

[ Since he had one of the guest houses out in the backyard, near the freaking water park because his goddess was apparently incredible - which he knew, but that was for reasons other than her kickass temple. ]

I can take you to meet her later, if you wanna.

And that didn't stop him the first time you met, since I doubt you gave him much of a chance then either. Come on, it was probably a one-time thing, give him a second chance.

[monkeyblue]

Why would I want to give him a second chance? He's an asshole, and so's his friend.

[Pot, meet kettle.]

I like you better, I don't see why you're complaining.

[thevanguard]

So are you. [ He sees you there, pot. kettle. whichever you were in this scenario. ] Hell, so am I. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying... if you gotta share a god with them, maybe you should figure out if you can get along. I mean. At least you'd know if he'd try to kill you every time you bumped into each other.

[ Because that could totally be a thing with asshole shinki, you know. He found that out first hand. But Chikusa didn't seem the same sort of crazy as Hibari. And Ken had seemed pretty fun, if a little weird. ]

[monkeyblue]

You're not an asshole.

[Otherwise he'd have given up on you.]

Tch, why are you telling me to try and befriend other people? Is this your way of telling me to go?

[thevanguard]

I am too and shut up, that's not the point here.

[ He makes a frustrated noise and gestures at Saru. ]

No. I don't want you to go. You got a place here as long as I got a place here, got it? But you've also got a god. A good god. One you even like, and don't give me that face, I know you do. Roy's great and I'm glad you got assigned to him. But I don't want to see you lose that, either.

Maybe you won't be able to get along with Chikusa and Ken, but maybe they're not as bad as first impressions might have seemed. I don't think they're like... [ He stops, because he hadn't talked much about what had happened at Tsuna's temple. Not to anyone, not even Saru in all the details of it. He shakes his head and continues again, changing what he'd been about to say. ] I just don't think they're all that bad. Weird, yeah, but who're we to judge? You can work around weird. you manage with me.

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi sure does make a Face when Misaki calls him out on liking Roy--that's not the point here. The point here is Fushimi doesn't want to work with these brats and Misaki is making far too much sense for an idiot.]

You're not weird.

[thevanguard]

[ He knows you, you damn monkey. And wow sometimes he makes sense! Don't look so surprised about it. ]

You are the only person, alive or dead, who can probably say that with a straight face. We're all a little weird. You just have to figure out which sort of weird they are and if you can live with it. I'm not saying go off and become best friends with them [ because that just seems like a little much. ] but maybe you can find something in common. At the very least, the three of you have the same god to look after and take care of now - that should be something you can work together on, right?

[monkeyblue]

....Misaki, it's Roy.

[That man takes care of them more than any shinki could take care him and Yata knows it.

And seriously, he shouldn't be this smart.]

Tch, I don't like them. I'm not wasting my time.

[thevanguard]

[ Bite him, Monkey. ]

Yes, he's Roy and he's your god. [ That's important Saru. ] You're avoiding your own home and temple because of them. You think he's not gonna notice? That's not gonna fly for long. It's not a waste of time if you can figure out a way to.... I dunno, exist in each other's general vicinity or whatever.

Besides. You told me you didn't like me the first time we met here, too, and look where we are now.

[ You can be wrong about things sometimes, you know. ]

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi scoffs again and pushes past Misaki to go flop on his sofa, opening is laptop up again.]

So what if he's my god? If he was a jackass, would you be harping on that?

[thevanguard]

No. [ Yata seems decidedly firm on that matter, surprisingly enough. ] If your god was a jackass, he wouldn't be your god long. [ Saru didn't seem to deliberate over things like that like Yata would. ] But he's not and you like him being your god so I want you to be happy there.

Being without one sucks. And the fact that he let me stay as long as he did, and picked up those two when their god vanished? Just shows how great a god he is. THey're not as common as you'd think around here.

[ Still, he follows him into the room, flopping down beside him, half-sprawled on Saru anyway, even though there's plenty of room on the couch. ]

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi just picks up his laptop and uses Misaki's legs as as desk.]

It sucks for you. I didn't mind not having one.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just lets him, because whatever, he's still comfortable. ]

Pretty sure it sucked for them, too. Besides, you can't do crap on your own without a god in this place. It's annoying. What's the point of being here as a shinki if you're useless?

[ Then again, he probably doesn't have the healthiest outlook on the whole arrangement anyway... ]

[monkeyblue]

Not being an ayakashi? Or floating in the endless abyss?

[Do either of them have a healthy anything?]

[thevanguard]

[ No, not really.

He makes a face. ] At least one of those could still happen anyway if you don't have a god looking out for you.

[ Although maybe that had just been more likely when he'd kept going out to fight even when he didn't have a name or a god. ]

[monkeyblue]

Only if you're a dumbass who needs looking after. Misaki.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just grins at him, unrepentant. ]

So definitely you, then.

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi reaches down to pinch Misaki's thigh, carefully lifting his laptop up in case he kicks.]

You're the idiot who went into a horde of tiny ayakashi without a name.

[thevanguard]

[ He restrains himself. Barely. ]

Hey, you were the one that said you needed bait. It worked, didn't it?

[monkeyblue]

You still could have asked Roy for a temporary name.

[Is he still sulking about this? Yes.]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just blinks at that.

And then abruptly sits up, pressing into the corner at the opposite end of the couch as he curls around one of the pillows there. ]

I like Roy. He's a good god. But I don't want a temporary name.

[monkeyblue]

I get that, but it would have been safer.

[If Misaki is going to sulk, Fushimi's going have this conversation while not looking at him. Same thing, really.]

[thevanguard]

[ It's not sulking, it's... he doesn't know what it is. His arms are wrapped around his knees, an uncomfortable hunch to his shoulders. ]

It was perfectly safe. He had you to Rend them.

[monkeyblue]

And if we had it wrong and they were stronger than they looked? You'd have been an ayakashi in seconds.
