[ he watches quietly from a short distance, squinting and shielding his eyes slightly when the glow from yusuke's finger grows brighter. it reminds him a little bit of his own abilities -- the pulse of liquid and bright glow of when hierophant's creating its emeralds -- and he knows to steel himself when that glow seems to reach its peak.

it's a good thing, too, since the blast's bigger than he anticipated. that burst of energy rips into the monster with incredible ease, and kakyoin flinches back as it practically explodes, splattering the area around it with liberal amounts of flesh and gore. ]

I'm guessing subtlety isn't your strong suit.

[ kakyoin steps out from behind the tree once the rain of gore settles down. one or two brief gold claps as he glances at where the monster's body had once been. it really is an impressive level of destructive power, even if it needs some time to prepare. more of a brute force type, isn't he? ]

Though ... I'd have to wonder how strong your friend is, if you don't want to get on their bad side. I'd prefer not to get on your bad side unless I need to myself.

[Yusuke tries to leap back once the creature explodes, hoping to avoid it's guts, but... welp. These things were persistent in life AND death, it seems. He makes a face as he tries to get some of the gore off of himself, but all it manages to really do it make it a bloody smear on his shirt. YUCK.

He looks up as Kakyoin claps and gives a little snort, the mess on his clothing pushed aside for now.]

Yeah, well-- I'm not all that much of a subtle guy to begin with. I like to take the direct route whenever I can.

[His eyebrows raise at that next comment, however, and he crosses his arms.]

Honestly, it's not even how STRONG he is, it's... how clever he is, I guess? He went against this one nasty jerk who could regenerate any part of his body AND absorb people by eating them, and wound up beating the guy by trapping him in a special illusion plant that fed off his life energy. And considering the guy couldn't REALLY die because of those fancy powers? That means he's now stuck in that thing until the world ends, probably. It's kind of screwed up.

So... yeah, I'm hella strong and all, but up against someone who can pull THAT out of their sleeve? I dunno if I have much of a chance. I wouldn't worry if I were you, though-- you don't strike me as the type to do anything that would seriously piss me off.

[AHAHA. HAHA. Oh foreshadowing 8') ]

[splashdamage]

[ well that's ... certainly a lot to take in. kakyoin steps around the squelchy remains of the body, wrinkling his nose as the stench starts permeating the air, but otherwise listens quietly to yusuke's description. it's -- certainly not anything he's familiar with. the things yusuke's describing, like immortality and 'eating people,' remind him a little too much of vampirism, of the enemy that he should be fighting against, and it earns a somewhat pensive frown. ]

... a special illusion plant.

[ it sounds cruel. but also, effective. he'd almost be a little jealous, if he didn't already have absolute faith in his and his companions' abilities. still, it earns a dry laugh as he scuffs some of the stray flecks of blood off his shoes onto the grass. ]

I think, if I weren't already dealing with some strange circumstances back home, I'd have a hard time believing everything you're saying now. It sounds like you and your friends must have been involved in something incredible.

[ said like he's not part of a vampire-hunting team traveling halfway across the world. ]

But I see what you're saying. If I do happen to somehow end up on your bad side, I'll just have to depend on my wiles to save myself. [ said with the shittiest, sly smirk. ] Until then, though, would you like to cooperate while we're stuck here? I'd appreciate having someone like you to watch my back.

[fingerbanged]

[Yusuke neatly hops over the splattered corpse to get closer to Kakyoin's side, getting blood and some other gross innards onto his shoes in the process. It didn't really make sense to have a conversation with that much space between them.]

Incredible? Naaaah, I wouldn't go so far to call it that. Just basic 'demons and crazy people want to do stuff to screw around with the human world so we go and punch them before they can do it' stuff. I think the guy I just told you about was a more extreme example, though.

[But Yusuke returns that shitty, sly smirk with a cheeky grin of his own, raising his arms to casually loop them behind his head.]

That's what it boils down to, yeah. Though let's not get too cocky now-- you'd really gotta step up your A-game if you think you can beat me. [HE'S TEASING, OF COURSE-- for the most part, anyway.] But honestly? Call the feeling mutual. I haven't seen ALL of what your ghost-thing can do yet, but I got a hunch it'll probably be good for some stickier situations should we run into them.

... although now I'm curious to know about what kinda circumstances you had to go through to make 'people-eating regenerator' sound like a believable thing.

[splashdamage]

[ 'demons' and 'humans.' he's already come to get the sense that people here are familiar with different brands of supernatural entities, but it still feels a little strange to hear those exact words -- terms he expects more out of videogames than in real life. still, maybe he's not in any position to be skeptical about the existence of demons. ]

Aah, well. If I said I was traveling from Japan to Egypt to hunt down a vampire, would you believe me? A companion of mine actually encountered something a little similar to what you described -- someone who could devour other organisms to grow larger, he said.

[ saying these things immediately reminds him of the stakes back home, reminds him that he doesn't have forever to be lost in this strange game. but all he can do for now is to stay calm and work through the situation until he can make his way back to where he belongs.

he looks pensive for a brief moment, but kakyoin quickly shakes it off, giving a thin smile. ]

I'm not exactly looking forward to running into any more of these monsters. But if things do get dangerous -- I'm not the type to hold back.
