I hope you're right, but you're also the first person I punched. Maybe it's your hair? [ Samatoki looks like a grandpa ghost. ] Come on, let's go see if they have some tissues.

[ She gets behind him to gently push him toward a nearby shop. ]

[coasts]

[ Why is he being pushed!!! He sniffs pretty loudly to get some blood back in, and then he lets out a cough because now there's blood in his throat fsdkgh GREAT!!! He doesn't say anything about it though and instead moves on to get tissues.

... except the more they move, the more he feels like there's something going on. Someone's watching them. Samatoki doesn't need supernatural abilities to feel it. It makes him stop in his tracks. ]

You feel that?

[unhappy]

Obviously.

[ On top of normal instincts, having her aura means that all these ghosts have been setting it off constantly. It's no wonder she's on edge. She doesn't see anything though. ]

Keep moving, if it's a ghost we clearly can't fight it as well as I'd hoped.

[coasts]

[ He'll keep walking, then. ]

Fine. If it's a ghost, you better not punch me again.

[unhappy]

I will try not to punch a ghost just in case. I'll run to your other side and you can punch the ghost. Deal?

[ Protect her, whats-your-face. ]

[coasts]

Can you even punch a ghost?

[ Nevermind that he'll probably try it? ]

[unhappy]

Hm.. maybe? I've never fought ghosts before, just monsters and people. I was hoping ghosts were just metaphorical.

[coasts]

If you were hopin' they were, then you should just be metaphorically punchin' people!

[ (THAT WAS SO DUMB TO TYPE FSDLAKGH) ]

Whatever... s'already happened.

[unhappy]

[ She looks around in the shop before leaving over the front counter. The keeper is in the back, so she just leans over and yoinks a couple of tissues from the box, then holds then out to Samatoki. She smiles. ]

Sorry.

[coasts]

[ She's apologetic enough, so he's gonna stop bring it up after this.

Especially since she helped him out. He wipes his hands on the tissues and then throws the rolled up tissues in the trash can. ]

We didn't encounter any ghosts, just creepy as fuck statues along the way. [ He was sure they were moving, but nothing's followed them so?? Good? ] Maybe they aren't real after all.

[unhappy]

I saw my boyfriend's mom.

[ That was in the stream thing though. But there's nothing like preventing then from just spooky walking right on out of there. ]

Just saying, not impossible.

[coasts]

And? Where the hell's your boyfriend now?

[ What a weird thing to see... Also a pretty shitty boyfriend for leaving her alone to fend off ghosts??? ]

[unhappy]

I don't know, I'm not his keeper. He'll text me if he's in trouble.

[ She hopes. Or Mayuzumi will text her if Akashi is in trouble.. one or the other. ]

[coasts]

Could've stuck with him. The two of you could deal with the place together.

[ He looks back at where they came from as if to point out that the place was creepy as fuck. Then again, he was there, too.

Being away from the grounds though, he pulls out his box of cigarettes and lights a stick. ]

Want one?

[unhappy]

I can't stay with him constantly. He'd get mad at me for fighting anyway. I'm supposed to be.. you know, normal.

[ And yet she still carries her weapons everywhere unless Akashi catches her. ]

I've never had one.

[coasts]

Better not get started, then.

[ He's not gonna... push her to do anything asgdhg he'll pocket the box for now before letting out a puff! Away from her, of course. ]

Fighting's not normal?

[unhappy]

Not for him or his world. For mine it's been my entire life. Which is why-

[ She gestures to his nose. Reflex is punch, not scream. ]

[coasts]

Which is why you punch people on the nose on the daily.

[ He gets it. ]

[unhappy]

[ She can control herself most of the time!!!! Sort of. She does better now that Mercury is here because she can at least argue with him. She looks a little sheepish, moving off to his side. She doesn't care at all that he's smoking inside the store. He can do what he wants. ]

In my defense, is it really assault if they're already dead?

[ this is why she isn't a lawyer ]

[coasts]

[ No one's made him leave yet!! They're fine. ]

... No idea. [ Of course he's gonna take it seriously. ] Guess if they complain about you?

[unhappy]

Are you going to complain about me?

[ because she definitely didn't succeed at punching the ghost.. ]

[coasts]

Cops hate me. They might even throw a party if I said someone punched me in the face.

[ WHY DOES HE SOUND SO PROUD ]

[unhappy]

[ She can't help but laugh at that. ]

Cops are dumb anyway. What'd you do?

[coasts]

Here? Get into a shitton of fights.

[ In Japan? Definitely a lot worse. ]

[unhappy]

Is that really illegal? I thought people fought for fun. You can even get chroma from it if you're both into it.
