No festivals.
No fireworks.
No tests of courage.

What a terrible way to spend the summer in a new place. I might die from boredom!

(And yet, it sounds like he's having fun. Don't worry. He'll be fine.)

Why don't we share some tales of the strange and unknown? If we tell enough stories, something interesting might appear~

Let's see... The set up isn't quite right but a hundred stories will probably do.

ooc: feel free to thread jump and react to stories/etc!

[Lesser oni?

Hah.]

I couldn't say. At the very least... you're definitely the first kind of oni I've met that's carried a conversation like this.

Now if only there was a name to go with that! Such a shame...

[osake]

[ ah.

the growing smile in her words makes them sharp and clear. ]

You want to know my name, sweetie?

[wingclip]

Oh, were you planning on remaining a mystery even now?

I can't see how that's very fair, considering I told you my name.

But I suppose it's expected of an oni!

[osake]

[ how typical. somewhere off-screen, shuten is tallying the times that temper flares like a biting flame. ]

Now, now. I never said anything like that.

[ all she did was ask a totally harmless question! ]

It's just funny, don't you think? For an oni-killer like you to want my name ... I guess I did charm you more than I realized.

[wingclip]

[Don't keep track of that. You'll lose count very quickly!]

Is that why, Miss?

I'll have you know I know the names of plenty of high ranking oni... I merely thought you'd want to be counted among them.

[osake]

Flattering me again? You'll make me blush over here.

[ a pleasant, thoughtful humming to string her words together. ]

How about this? The next time I have the privilege of seeing your pretty face, I'll tell you.

[wingclip]

[Ugh.]

The next time?

I don't believe I ever agreed to something like that, you know.

[osake]

Oh? Didn't you?

[ her words are swifter, equal parts cutting and excited at the barest hint of a human betraying her promise. ]

I distinctly remember your lovely fingers at my vulnerable neck ... stroking my skin ... asking me to wait for the moment you can take me head on.

[ sighs fill in the gaps of her phrases, recreating the imagery in her mind. ]

It enchanted me like nothing else.

[wingclip]

[Oh my GOD.

This is a public network, and yet this woman...!!]

Ah, did it now? How thoughtful of you to have remembered that.

I suppose you skimmed over the part where I mentioned pummeling oni!

[Because she's pretty close to trying right now!]
