[Donut how did you find this.

She's doing that very discreet while the credits started to roll...]

Some of that still works, but it depends on how. It's not as straightforward anymore. That being said, with your body, I think they would be able to let you do whatever you want more often.

[She can now actually finish eating?!] Do you want to watch something else?

[WHO'S THIS LOUD SHIT KICKING THE DOOR, GEEZ!!

No okay, Kashuu will go get it because he's one of the more energetic people left in the apartment, what with the water folks being shit out of luck and all. So OPEN THE DOOR FLIES, he's ready for a donut party.]

Wow—! What's all that?

[He steps out of the way, but he doesn't... offer to carry anything...]

[also magic....?

he pats the powdered ball against the blade.]

With my body? You mean the fact that I can't die as easily?

[Let's see how long it takes...]

Hm? Yes, he does. They live together.

[Wait, since when did the sword move into the Kumounjis?]

[This is amazing, need to take him shopping everywhere.

She's finishing the ice cream though because she's not taking anymore chances.]

Yes, you're much more sturdier than humans. Also you're very strong. That's a trained body.

[When the door opens, he walks in, not at all surprised that Kashuu doesn't help him with the packages. He's got it pretty well balanced anyway so it doesn't bother him.

There's a box of donuts on the top and a brown paper bag filled with pints of ice cream in his arms. He goes immediately to the kitchen and tries to set the donuts down on the counter.]

Stuff from work and some stuff from the store.

[He opens the box of donuts and sets it down.]

You want some?

[but his powers only work for food

He keeps chewing away at his jerky, but man, now he wants ice cream, too. He's going to gain 5000 pounds.]

Not really training. I just woke up this way.

[That's good enough, food is important.

They can definitely go for seconds after she's done...what a fat.]

But it works like a body that a human trains for a long time for, no? That and it's harder to injure you.

[what a pair of happy fatties]

Yeah, guess that's true. I can get hurt, but I heal faster, that's all.

[They're going to need so much exercise BUT WORTH IT.]

Mmm, a lot of us fight directly too because we can withstand injuries and heal up faster! [Though her appearance doesn't make anyone confident in her skills, unlike Doutanuki.]

So the countries go into war themselves, too? Isn't that dangerous?

[She...actually never thought about it like this. This might be the first time anyone asked her this?!]

Well, we can't really die, so it shouldn't be...but yes, we have been captured before as prisoners. [She heard stories about England's cooking being used as torture (okay not that bad but France was probably the one telling it after he heard from the Italian brothers.)]

...Isn't that really bad? You're a country. You're more important than any shogun or master, and yet you put yourselves on the front lines?

[She really doesn't understand why they keep putting her on a higher pedestal!]

A-ah, I am not more important than any master, o-or shogun. [Shogun?] World leaders are our bosses! I am just a vassal.

[That...doesn't seem right.]

You're a country. Even if you can't "die" in a conventional sense, your distress is your country's distress, isn't it? Wouldn't it be a bad thing to put such an important person in the line of fire?

[Now she's beginning to make sense why they, like Doutanuki, keeps making sure she's never in battle. It took a while to convince Haru that she's nothing more than a vassal.]

Well, it sort of is, but it isn't? How to explain...I can feel the distress, but as long as I am there, life continues. And I am always still there. So I try to do what I can by going into battle, since I can help. I'm not that important, even though the country is.

[He tries. HE IS REALLY TRYING to understand, so he stares at her for a good, say, thirty seconds.]

...Yeah, I don't get that.

[COMPREHENSION: FAILED.

So he'll just stick to his idea that even if she can't die, she's a VIP. That makes sense to him.]

Point is, here you gotta be more careful, right?

[She's going to stare back, she's going to let him think.

SHE FAILED.]

You will be pleased to know that I do have to as now I am mortal here. [With powers, sure. But still a fleshy bag.] I believe if I am careless, you will scold me.

Yeah, good bet.

[He leans back again and closes his eyes. Because even if he'll scold her, he won't listen to the same scolding if it's directed at him.

Hypocrisy! /jazzhands]

[SHE WOULD JUST SHAKE HER HEAD AT HIM.]

Well, I will listen to you...if you also try to keep safe as well.

[Though this is harder since he keeps thinking she's important?! DAMMIT.]

[He shrugs, then goes back to cleaning the sword, wiping the powder off with a dry cloth before sliding it back into the saya.]

Don't have to worry about that. Haven't been to any good battles here that mattered recently. A damn shame, too.

[Looks like he's nearly done. And she's finished with her donuts now, so she sits up to watch.]

It seems some of the swords are too tired to battle as well, like myself. I would offer to fight, but I am very exhausted. [Thanks for the mood crash, water element.]

Yeah, I had that awhile back. Damn near fell asleep wherever I went, but now? [He shrugs.] Feel just fine.

[Even if he wasn't feeling fine, he'd feel fine, which is kind of weird, but he doesn't notice much of a difference.]

If you're tired, shouldn't you be resting more?

Goodness, I remember seeing many endure that too. Other than you. And now with Mutsunokami, we could not even find the energy to reach for the remote control, sometimes. [But she puts more pressure on herself to work harder!

She stretches and yawns, but she shakes her head.]

I try, but I am unsure how much help it is.

[ Strange? Oh you sweet summer child you haven't seen anything yet. Pitch gives that far too knowing grin and spreads his hands. ]

It is western. You likely know me as the Namahage. Which, while fun to steal the odd small child while the household is busy laughing and chasing those in costume, it's not a good look to keep year round.

[ Not that he could have. He'd tried before. But Pitch faded no matter how his appearance had changed. East or west. ]
