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]

....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.

[thevanguard]

But we didn't and they weren't and you guys had it handled. What's the big deal? [ In Yata's mind, it's a moot point. ]

[monkeyblue]

Tch.

[Fushimi just types. He remembers that memory, remembers that apparently Misaki is a moron who needs things spelled out for him, but it's annoying. He doesn't like using words.]

Your stubbornness could have gotten you killed.

[thevanguard]

[ He almost points out that he's already dead, but he doesn't think that's going to help his argument here. ]

But it didn't. I know how to get out of the way if something is too much. I've had a lot of practice at it lately. What do you think I've been doing when helping out on prayers when I didn't have a Name?

[ ....Oops. Probably should have kept that to himself. ]

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi pauses, grabbing a nearby pillow and chucking it at Misaki.]

Being more of a fucking idiot than I thought possible, apparently.

[thevanguard]

[ He catches it and chucks it right back. ]

Says the guy hiding on my couch from a pair of teenagers.

[monkeyblue]

Because I don't want to burn the temple down, because I have a sense of self-preservation.

[He dodges the pillow.]

Unlike you. Apparently. Tch, then again, you did apparently run in to enemy territory to save me so I don't know why I'm surprised.

[thevanguard]

Who was the idiot in enemy territory by himself in the first place?

[ What were you saying about self-preservation here, Saru? He calls bullshit. ]

I don't know why you're surprised either. or bitching. I saved your ass, didn't I? [ As far as he knows anyway. ] Anyway it's fine. I promise I'll be more careful now. I don't want Nami getting hurt because of it anyway.

[monkeyblue]

We went over that, Misaki. I had a job.

[He's not sure what job it was but it was a job all the same.]

Stupid Misaki.
