Ha! Are they like those western vampires, or whatever?
[Her giggles get louder and the faint desire to drink was growing in her mind.]
Oh, I bet he was fun to toy with, if only I'd been lucid during it. Ha~! Imagine, an oni that's destroyed by the sun! It's no wonder why he'd been struggling.
[ after she properly settles down from the ego-induced bout of giggling, shuten lets out a small hum — thoughtful, now. ]
Who knows. They are pretty adaptable, those humans.
[ unseen on her end, shuten touches her side; the site of a nasty stabbing she suffered recently. light as they come, shuten debates her next words. ]
One of them managed to get me a couple times. Fufu. She's fun.
[ then, an indulgent sigh. ]
It's like we're living, breathing oni again. Forcing the brat and the cow to get along back at Chaldea was hilarious and all, but this is more our style ... don't you think?
[ congregating, bullying, fighting, wreaking havoc on the population. but they're stuck living amongst their victims, the gem and gembonded alike, currently. ]
[So Ibaraki can rip them apart. She looks and sounds incredulous. The only way she thinks someone could have managed to get a one up on her glorious and beautiful Shuten is through some sort of poisoned trickery.]
A-ah... mm-- [Despite her upset over the whole notion that someone "got" Shuten, Ibaraki nods her head. So long as her partner in crime was having fun.]
It's like Edo all over again...! Though people here could give us a bit more tribute and worship.
Oh, just a little butterfly girl I picked up before you arrived. Maybe I'll introduce you sometime?
[ but maybe "butterfly girl" is enough to pick her out of a crowd, given how heavy-handed the demon slayer is with the motif. ]
Fufu, you're hoping for a bit too much, Ibaraki. Though, I hear that place — ahhh, what was it called again? Primavera? They're pleeenty spiritual over there. Like back home.
Maybe we should introduce ourselves.
[ settle in, see how an alien land, somehow so very like their own, reacts to a new infestation of oni. maybe they really will offer tribute ... wouldn't that be something. ]

Ibaraki? Where did you run off to now?

Eh? I'm just... looking for meaningful loot to give you.
[She got bored and decided to explore and annoy.]

Date: 2021-08-27 08:28 pm (UTC)[ a hum. curious, doubtful. not that it really mattered. ]
Well, if you won't be here, then ... Talk to me for a bit, okay? It's still so dreadfully hot around here, I can hardly take it.
falls into
Date: 2021-09-09 05:45 am (UTC)I-I mean, I can head back as quickly as I can! Or... we can just talk like this.
[So long as she can bask in Shuten's presence, all was good in the world.]
catches
Date: 2021-09-09 06:10 am (UTC)[ this is a little gentler, less like a pouty wife demanding attention from her partner.
a small silence passes, when shuten remembers something. ]
Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you... You remember that poor little demon slayer you roughed up before?
loves on
Date: 2021-09-09 06:31 am (UTC)Ho? What of him? Did you decide to keep him for yourself? It'd be fine repayment.
[Even if the idea nauseates her.]
♡♡♡
Date: 2021-09-09 06:41 am (UTC)That's not a bad idea. Add another to my collection, hm?
[ "another." ]
Ah, but that's not it. I learned something rather amusing about him. Well, more like about the oni he fought back where he's from.
<3!
Date: 2021-09-11 09:20 pm (UTC)[No, what's happened when she wasn't looking? What sort of trial was this where she was forced to share...? Ibaraki shakes her head.]
An oni though? Was it someone we knew?
no subject
Date: 2021-09-11 11:57 pm (UTC)Not likely. You see, apparently ...
[ god, these gossiping oni — she pauses for emphasis ]
... the oni they fight are weak to sunlight.
no subject
Date: 2021-09-17 04:43 pm (UTC)[There was a torrent of snickering laughter following that statement.]
They're... they're weak to... what? Hahaha! Are they sure those are oni?
no subject
Date: 2021-09-17 10:34 pm (UTC)[ oh, how she laughed when she first heard it. with ibaraki snickering, it starts up again; that high, mocking giggle. ]
I thought the same thing! I'm surprised you didn't break that boy when you so much as touched him. Their oni disintegrate, can you believe that?

Ahh, it's so pathetic I don't know what to do with myself. There's so many of those uniformed warriors here, too.
Maybe if they band together they'll have a chance.
[ maybe not, but shuten thinks of her favorite little butterfly here — and the ways she's managed to surprise her. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-09-21 05:40 pm (UTC)[Hah!]
Then I doubt they'd last any longer even if they acted as one.
[Then again humans tended to be a surprising bunch.]

What do you think?

Date: 2021-10-03 04:22 am (UTC)[Poor Shinobu. Especially if Shuten follows through with introducing her to Ibaraki.]
Oh... oh! But Shuten, are you suggesting what I think you are? Kukuku, yes. Yes! That's an excellent idea!
[Offer tribute willing or not. Property values are probably going to plummet there though....]

Date: 2021-10-04 09:18 am (UTC)Oni with a base have the strength to cause more trouble, after all. You're the one who taught me that.
