Interaction Post

::Let's say you're taking a nice walk on the boardwalk/harbor. Well, you've come across Ai, in reasonable sweatpants and a sports bra and jacket. And Sunglasses.

With an unmarked van. Rolling metal barrel drums into the bay. They're heavy enough they're sinking unceremoniously.

Maybe you should give her a Hello.::

Journal Post

So, let's say you need to dispose of something, preferably without destroying it. Where do you put it besides in the ocean.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Is it an artifact of some type? Because I'll take it and dispose of it, then.

... Let's say less artifact and more contraband or objects I'd rather never ever see again.

Do you take barrels and giant metal boxes? Maybe?

Yes, absolutely, just tell me where I can take them from and I'll be there.

May need to see about renting a truck, though.

I can rent a truck for you if it's a problem.

That works out perfectly, then. I'll take it.

Okay, I'll send a private message where to meet.

As you're dumping barrels, a head pops out of the water.

"Hey hey, don't you think it's already polluted enough here? Go poison the land if you're dumping unsanctioned magical crap or radiation."

...

::Squinting at you, water bint.::

Are you real or my conscience?

"Who's to say what's real?"

she climbs out of the water. She's dressed in completely normal clothes and the fact they're soaked doesn't seem to bother her.

You've encountered a real nutter, haven't you.

"But let's say... conscience for now. Hello, I'm Date Kiko, your conscience."

Joyoku Ai, Professional Demoness, Ms. Conscience.

::I would be more bothered but I saw a Terrorking Salmon rip a guy to pieces the other day.

Anyways, Ai is trying to play along, just blinking at you as you drip drop with water.::

"Demoness, huh?

If you know you're not supposed to do this...why are you?"

Because I'd prefer to not end up on the end of a demon hypno wheel.

I deal with that shit enough already.

::Grumbling, as she rolls another drum into the ocean.::

"Hiding things in the ocean is a bad idea. They have a bad habit of washing up where you would least expect them.

Especially if someone learned of this pollution and leaked it to, say, media outlets. Interested spirits.

But I get it! You have to save your own skin. Screw anything smaller and weaker than you, right? They can deal with the stuff you weren't strong enough to deal with."

Well. Basically I have to present to be a bear so the wolves know to back the fuck off.

Unfortunately there's a lot of dumb wolves.

"I know the feeling. But once you've presented to be the bear for so long, aren't you just the bear pretending you're still you?"

The loon tilts her head at you like... some sort of eel?

... Is. Is that a thing?

*Kotori just so happened to be taking a nice walk by the harbour this day when she spots Ai. She watches her for a bit, wondering what exactly is in the metal barrels that she's dumping into the ocean.

After a little while, she approaches her.*

Ai-san?

...

::Freezing and woodenly twisting to Kotori, before sitting on the barrel.::

Out for a walk, Kotori dear?

Yes. It was a nice day so I thought I'd go for a walk.

*She raises an eyebrow, curiously.*

What are you doing?

... Disposing of things.

::Clearing her throat.::

What kind of things?
Those barrels seem pretty heavy.

Also dumping things into the ocean probably isn't the best thing to be doing.

Ugh... is it that obvious...

::Takes a deep breathe.::

What if, to remain mostly yourself, you had to do terrible things, Kotori?

*Kotori's expression becomes a little more worried. She takes a deep breath.*

If this is something personal, then I won't judge what you're doing, but...
... are you in some kind of trouble, Ai-san? Is there something in those barrels feel you have to get rid of to 'remain yourself'?

...

Let's frame it this way: What if you had to pick up a sword so you remained Mizuki Kotori, fashion designer and sweetheart, and not, say, Kotori Abaddon Morpheusa or whatever.

And you had to take blood to retain that you.

And no, talking things out isn't an option.
