[This is practically an emergency because she could feel her legs twisting slowly as the moon meets Sanguis phase again. Her scales are glimmering, and she really needs to think of a way to maintain mobility while this keeps happening to her, but in the meantime, she needs to find a safe place to go to.
Which means here she is, knocking on the door of the closest place with someone she knows in it, and raps it again.]
Goodness, I hope he's in!

[ Samatoki's been a little more impatient thanks to the effects of the moon. He's got a need he can't sate because he's not that kind of guy. He's itching for satisfaction, and he's pretty sure the next person he sees is going go get strangled out of sheer aggression and repression. That person happens to be Vietnam - a greeting that he immediately regrets giving when he sees her eyes.
Shit, it's her. He lets go of her immediately and takes a step back, one leg aggressively being tapped against the floor. ]
You, ah, you alright? [ He runs a hand through his hair, weaving through the white wolf ears with ease. He's gotten used to them. Bushy tail, too. He's playing it cool.... as cool as he can get, anyway. He's doing his best to stay in control here. ] Didn't mean to do that.

[Sanguis moon has passed, meaning certain people are now their good old regular selves. Which means whatever feelings of territorial possession has passed. Meaning that certain people are due in for a talk.
Which makes sense, she was thinking about it.
So she's back at Samatoki's place again, and she knocks on the door. This time, she's brought sustenance (homemade snacks).
Also, she's not going to call out to him because he might know it's her and try to leap out the window. Honestly, she's not sure what to expect.]

[ Samatoki faces his problems head on. He doesn't really come up with plans all that often, but considering how delicate this subject is, he feels like he has to.
With him not having any wolf-like characteristics anymore, amongst other traits—physical and mental—he decides to try and fix things. He's just not sure how, and Vietnam catches him without a plan yet in his own apartment. ]
I'm goin' out to buy some groceries, you comi— [ He's interrupted as he sees who's at the door. He thought it was Riou, but turns out, it's somebody else. Ah. ]
. . . hey.

[ Emerald isn't afraid of ghosts. Or at least, that's what she keeps telling herself. The last few days have honestly been creepier and creepier and she's about fed up with it, and is decidedly on edge. Dead people should stay dead, not come back and haunt the living. The living have enough issues to deal with without dead peoples' baggage and grudges being put on them. Somewhere out there, there better not be a ghost of a puma-esque bookstore owner.
At least she doesn't have to worry about the robot.
Either way, she doesn't quite realize that she's walking by Samatoki yet because she's minding her own business.. well, until she sees what looks like some kind of ghostly apparition right in front of him as she passes by him.
She's jumpy. She punches reflexively. ]

[ Suddenly, Samatoki's nose is bloody and his arms have turned into spaghetti. He's dazed only momentarily, maybe a second or two, before he realises his face is wet and it's not water. What the fuck!
He wipes his nose with his hand. He doesn't have a handkerchief... ]
The fuck did I do to you?! [ He's definitely angry, but raising his hand against a woman... That's not something he could ever do, even though he wants to punch her back. He was just minding his own business?! ]

[ ichiro's a pretty tech savvy guy. he runs a business, sure, but he's also a mobage champion and has a scheduled regimen of rhythm and battle game grinding he does on a daily basis. so, when a strange app appears on his phone, you'd think he'd be smart enough not to click on it.
however, a slip of his thumb gets the better of him, and the music that comes bleating out of the app on his end is so jarring that ichiro nearly bobbles his phone. he doesn't have enough time to try and close out of it, either, and even an attempted swipe up to close the screen gets nothing.
the jarring music stops. ] What the fu -- [ and the screen flashes to samatoki aohitsugi's face.
ichiro's in his apartment for the evening, comfortably dressed. despite the casual atmosphere he's immediately less than pleased, and he whips up to a sitting position and feels the low churning of anger in the back of his head almost immediately. seriously, why the fuck is lunatia trying to ruin his day?
he's ready to question it--did you do this--but ichiro has no time for that, either. the screen changes and shows a question to them both.
What did you like most about your partner?
ichiro's mouth opens on his end, inhaling like he might speak, but he doesn't get much time beyond that. samatoki's treated to ichiro swearing, a fuck! as something springs from the very walls of his house and snags his wrists. he pulls, hard, clearly struggling with something, but on samatoki's end, the question still remains. ]

[ As if Ichiro's the only angry one. Seeing Ichiro's face first thing in the morning while he's having coffee's not exactly his ideal way of starting the day. The coffee he's made spills onto the table when the mug get shaken in surprise. Unlike Ichiro's loud "Fuck!", his is more of a click of the tongue and a low "the hell is this shit?" when the question pops up, too.
He has no idea what game this is—he clicked on the app because he was curious (and an idiot), but now that there's a question and Ichiro's face behind it? He's not sure what to even do anymore. ]
Oi. You real over there, or just some fake playin' tricks on me?
[ Samatoki's at least thought about it some. This could just be some weird memory thing playing tricks on him, or the real Ichiro could be on the other end of this app - like some kind of video chat game. He has no idea... Best to try and talk first before throwing his device away, anyway. ]

[ It's actually just Bones who's home right now. Samatoki's still at work, but he ends in about a half hour after Sen breaks in. Unlike Riou's apartment, Samatoki doesn't have any security features or traps.
It doesn't smell like anything. There may be empty cans of beer in the kitchen, but it's pretty damn tidy aside from that. Bones is waiting by the door and barks when Sen comes in. It's not an intruder - she knows! She knows it's a friendo. 'u' ]

[ Delivered to Samatoki is a beautiful set of handmade sweets, each containing a flower embedded within them. They look like little jewels, and are edible! Together with that is a shimmering light silver wrap to wear and a bracelet charm that matches his aesthetic. ]
"You've brought so many here happiness with your kind heart and warmth. I hope you'll forever enjoy the company of those most precious to you. May this winter wish bring you only the best, dear Samatoki."

[ She leaves this message for him one day. ]
"Samatoki, I hope you're well. A strange thing has been happening at work. Every other day, someone asks me to "go out for a date". I thought they meant the fruit, and wanted me to grow them!
Turns out, "A date" means taking someone you like out for a good time, and spending time together! So, would you like to date? I've never had a date before, but I thought I'd ask you. Let me know, alright? And please don't get into trouble."

[ Oh. Kitsuno definitely said "date". Samatoki has to doubletake when he hears it, and in fact, plays the recording four times to make sure he heard things correctly. He already knows she likes him, and he does like her to some degree, too. At least, he'd be fine with dating her. Just no proclamations of love, and he'd be totally fine.
So, when he's done listening, he calls her up to give her his answer.
But... the moment she picks up? He's totally stammering. ]
Uh...

Dearest Samatoki,
A gift, they say, is given without expectation to those that deserve it the most. That's how you've always made me feel, and to give you more than you think you deserve is an honour I'm glad to offer.
I learnt of this tradition of "Valentine's" from the people I work with. So I tried my best to create sweets that would fit your palate. It was very exciting to learn something so complex! I hope I did them well, and that you enjoy each bite.
You're deserving of so much, and to see your eyes shining as you smile is a delight without compare. So I've matched them with gentle gifts, with the hope that they will add to your splendor. May your feelings be fulfilled, and I give my own with the hope that your joy may only grow.
May your voice carry to the stars, and your joys further beyond.
Ever yours, in whatever form that takes,
—Kitsuno
[ As always, the letter, sweets and present will be sent ala Fox Familiar Express™ who will ask for head scritches!! The presents inside contain a batch of sweets, handmade and very professional looking, as well as a matching bracelet to what he gave her, with her colours on it phasing with blue on the gem. Also included is a stylish necklace with a protective charm♡ ]
[ Samatoki actually hired a courier to send Kitsuno a box of chocolates, too. It was something he ordered from a candy shop a few weeks back. Valentine's is different in Japan—or at least, it used to be different... He doesn't really care about tradition! Not to mention, it's Kitsuno's birthday, isn't it? So she deserves something special.
That said, he's not very sure what Kitsuno likes in terms of food... She always cooks these nice homemade meals for him, and they were always healthy, so he figured she might like fruits! Strawberries, to be specific. That's why it's not only a tall box containing a strawberry tower gets sent to her, but a box of white chocolate raspberry truffles, too. They're all red, because she usually wears red!!
Along with those deliveries is a card. There's nothing on it beyond "Call me when you get this. - Samatoki". It's not his handwriting either, but it was written by the candy shop staff. He'll give her the message himself!
As for Kitsuno's present to him? The fox is going to receive the head scritches they asked for! Though now he's looking at the clock and wondering if the delivery is there yet. It should be there soon... ]

careful, iris! if you wash your nesting materials too often, it'll weaken your sanguis' scent! take care of your hormones and always re-scent your materials IMMEDIATELY after washing!
send this to 5 people you know to spread the message, or else your nesting materials will wash out!

Someone called Sasara my friend.
Should I correct them?
[ He just wants to check what he wants him to do because he has no intention of betraying Samatoki. He likes Sasara but he's refusing to be his friend bc literally the only thing he knows is that Samatoki is always mad about his existence. ]

[ It's been a long, long while since Riou's been to a bathhouse. Once or twice when he was deployed overseas, but they weren't the same as Japanese ones. Prismatican ones certainly aren't the same either, but it's sure to be a good experience just the same.
After discussion with the host, he learns that it's standard not to wear anything but your sandals, and so that's what Riou's wearing when he rounds the corner to exit the locker room and has to dead-stop because he almost ran into Samatoki: nothing but his sandals and the antlers coming out of the sides of his head. ]
Samatoki.
[ He sounds surprised. ]

[ It is a surprise! Samatoki's buck naked with his towel on his shoulder, ready for a hot bath. This place doesn't have a lot of people, although there was one time he met Fling Posse's Gentarou by coincidence... and then some things happened.
God— he hopes nothing happens. Especially when he sees Riou naked in front of him, after calling out his name. Ah, damn. Samatoki's wolf ears twitch atop his head, and he has to look away for a second. Must. Stay calm. He has to.
Samatoki grins, almost murderous. He removes the towel from his shoulder and slaps the air with it once. A loud THWAP can be heard. Then he pulls both ends and ties it over his head like a bandana. With his hair and ears covered, he places his hands on his hips. He exudes such confidence. ]
Yo, Riou. [ He's trying to sound cool... ] Didn't think I'd see you here.
[ He's using his mobster voice and mobster aura... is it intimidating? Probably not. ]

[Life in Lunatia is one hell of a ride day after day, but there's a silver lining: the Roman Holiday. Ever since Hijikata first visited the bathhouse it's been the one thing besides mayonnaise and cigarettes that reliably gets his blood pressure down. He's here again today, pretty late in the evening after a day spent training and studying for the Moon Knights exams, and he can't wait to sit down and relax in the sauna. He enters the almost empty wooden room, towel wrapped around his hips, and breathes in the hot steam.]
[ Hijikata's not gonna have his peace for long. Samatoki enters the sauna a few minutes later, a towel around his hips and sits down. He doesn't even notice there's someone next to him with the steam.
And also because he has his eyes closed as he relaxes. Then, he begins to manspread, stretching his legs some, and that's when his knee bumps into someone. ]
Oh, sorry, man, didn't see you there.
[ ... wait. ]
Shit.
