video; un: mind your fucking business

[ensanguines]

[ hijikata's expression is flat and unimpressed as the feed flicks on, but then again it usually is. he's well aware there more pressing issues at hand but he feels like he's earned the right not to deal with the big problems anymore. it's practically policy for him by now.

no, he chooses instead to fixate on the little problems. mmm. middle sized problem, winnifred being approximately average human size.

he stands there cross-armed, her blonde head visible out of focus just over his shoulder. ]

Hey. Listen up. I need to know which one of you left this thing unattended and when you can come by to collect her—

[ there's a blurry wave and a cheerfully chirped 'hello!!' as he references his... guest. ]

Come get her before I put her out with the recycling.

[ that order of business handled... ]

Izumi, where are you?

What has she wrought?

[ensanguines]

Pretty sure she sold you in marriage to a dragon.

[downswing]

Past this.


( And... liaising with the undead enemy and... summoning the frozen apocalypse... )

[ensanguines]

Stole my machine people.

( ..................this, then, is what raising an infant is like.

Truly, confinement was bliss. )

[downswing]

( And because of course she's somewhere out there, reading: )



Winnie. Return the gentleman's machines.

[ensanguines]

She gave them back, she just made them fucking weird first.

[downswing]

Accounts, then, settled. Restitution unnecessary.

[ensanguines]

She still taught them weird shit.

But I don't need 'restitution', I need her supervised and I would say I can't believe you people just leave her like this to be everyone else's problem except I've been here long enough that I can.

[His ears almost perk up as of he were a dog. Except that would probably be more fitting if he were Mutsunokami.

Ew. He doesn't want to be Mutsunokami.

But he perks up upon hearing his nickname and answers immediately.]

Out driving. What's up?

[ensanguines]

[ that makes toshi squint a little, especially because he can't see what his subordinate is doing. just as well though, really. ]

Don't come back tonight. I'll let you know about tomorrow.

Keep an eye on Souji if you don't hear from me. If he gives you shit remind him that I'm going to feed him his own ass about it when I find out.

[fushichou]

Ehh?

[That's...weird...]

Did something happen?

[downswing]

She causes no trou

[downswing]

( 'Do not lie.' )

Her troubles are sparing.

[ensanguines]

Something is always happening. [ just look at this shitshow. he's not deflecting, fuck off. ]

Just do your... driving. Find somewhere else to crash. Keep Souji out of trouble. Got it?

[fushichou]

Well, yeah, that's life.

[This doesn't make any sense, though.]

You can come crash with me? Wherever I end up. And Okita-san, too.

[ensanguines]

Denial really is your strong suit huh.

[ensanguines]

Don't worry about me. You have your orders.

[LMAAOOO]

Having fun?

[ensanguines]

No.

[soulsrob]

[exasperated] I taught them manners!

[deathcough]

I feel like you should be used to these kinds of situations.

[He's having a GREAT time]

[fushichou]

[TOO LATE, HE'S WORRIED.

But he falls silent for a few moments, thinking things over. And then, acquiescently, he speaks again.]

Yes, Sir.

[But how obedient is he, really? Only time will tell.]

[downswing]

She taught them manners.
