(he's fucking sick. the joys of loving and being loved in return, and also, merely thinking that he's not loved back. absolutely thrilling.
he hates this. big means that leaving his home is being very hard, and he's breaking out fevers, having difficulty breathing, and much worse than he has been in his life. that says something.)
looking for errand people. will pay accordingly.
p.s.: my little sister used to read stories about the whole coughing flowers situation. it's called hanahaki. something something, one-sided love, get that person to love you or die trying but literally? i don't remember much else. the younger japanese people might know better.

candy? pastries? dried fruit?
or do you have something else in mind?
no subject
no subject
not sure how easy it is to get out here
there are a lot of us from Japan but supplies are limited
but sure, sounds like a fun challenge! usually I just do western sweets but I can try something more traditional
no subject
a lot? from my knowledge it's... not-single soulmate i forgot his name, you, me, takemitchy, baji, tora...
there's more?
no subject
it's Kaito
and there are a couple others that I've met but I'll let them introduce themselves
but don't worry about payment. this one's on the house~
no subject
... did you end up finding anyone with the same tattoo as me? speaking of.
i'm paying you, hibi.
no subject
the same tattoo... would that be Baji maybe?
Kazutora said he was part of the gang and told me what he looks like but I haven't met him yet
ok ok pay whatever you think it's worth!
-> private
baji was toman's captain under my command. he's been dead for... 13 years? 14 years? 15 years? he's not bonten.
i'll... give you a drink.
private
tell me how he likes the new nickname!! 😊
and Baji's here too huh? is that everyone from toman that's in the netherworld?
did he die before or after bonten?
obviously you don't need to answer, just trying to work out the timeline
a drink would be a bad idea, I don't do great with alcohol
[ aka she's an ultra lightweight. ]
no subject
(kinda bullshit. he just wants to embarrass her in the process of describing him. great older brother)
as far as i know. he died way before bonten. shitty that you're japanese and don't know about it
i'm on tv like all the damn time
neither do i. something something tiny something something metabolism whatever
no subject
[ Don't tell her about the Murder. ]
there are people from a couple different Earths here, it just means we aren't from the same world
boten and toman don't ring a bell. most of what I'd hear about in the news involved turf disputes and people randomly getting caught in the middle of it
there were a couple active groups but they weren't boten or toman
[ Hibki pauses, staring down at her phone. Does she trust him enough with this information? Technically, it's what drew her to reach out to him in the first place, before she realized they were from different Earths, so-- ]
I was actually looking into one before I woke up here
that wasn't what took me out, before you ask
no subject
looking into a gang? oh, hibi. what fucking for
you were plannin to join or somethin
cw: brief mention of suicide
I lost my mom when I was a teenager and the reason the cops gave never sat right with me
said she killed herself because she owed a debt or something. it was all speculation of course
usually you can't ask the dead what happened unless you know who to talk to
stupid I know
but I finally got some info on what might have happened and I had to rule that out
no subject
we can talk, but i'm not sure i'm the person you want to talk to about this. not for my sake, but for your own.
no subject
so be as honest as you have to be
no subject
if the yakuza had something to do with it, it's either because they wanted to scare someone else into paying, or because her debt was small and she could be used as an example.
if there is any debt, to begin with. maybe she just crossed someone wrong. or seemed like she'd betray them. if someone related to someone i killed came sniffing, they'd be dead on the spot.
i cannot stress enough how much i hate this for you.
no subject
I wanna think that my mom had nothing to do with the yakuza but I don't know
she kept to herself. I wouldn't see her much, and near the end she was... off
the other theory I had is she knew something
she was a clairvoyant. she could see into the future. I didn't find this out until after she was gone
so that was the other lead I was pursuing
all I know is she isn't the type to do something like that
so I was looking into what happened and why
cw body... mismanagement... awful shit...
if i had a plan and some lady could ruin it, i'd shoot her three times.
(hahahahahaha.)
but also making it look like a suicide is... meh. very likely they also wanted to communicate to someone. when shit like that happens we either just leave it or make them into fish food.
... im sorry, biki.
no subject
They wanted to communicate to someone... ]
it's ok. I was the one who asked you to be honest
that does confirm some theories I had
I'm still not fully convinced it was anything like that, but that gives me some things to look into when I get back
I trust those cops back then about as much as I trust the Hierarchy now
[ Heavily implying she's going to keep sticking her nose where it doesn't belong? Absolutely. ]
cw trev spoilers
i've been on tv, they filmed us, and they ain't got a thing on me still.
... i'll tell you literally anything and everything you want to know. just don't look into this. please.
(he can't take emma dying twice.)
no subject
Hibiki almost blows him off, her shadow poking at some deep-seated anger she has on the subject. But the please stops her. A quick reread makes it clear that he's pleading. ]
tell me what you would do if you were in my position
no subject
i ain't you.
all i can do is, from someone in my position, who knows exactly what i would do, just ask you for your own good to drop it.
no subject
I just want to know the who and why
so I know who to return the favor to
[ Staring down at that line of text she didn't write, Hibiki hesitates. She should say that wasn't her, and she normally would... but not this time. ]
no subject
all my siblings were murdered. all three. for two i was there, i watched it. it's not worth it. there are people who would definitely rather die than have you take a life, and quite frankly, die trying.
i understand the feeling, i am on the other side of your situation, and i can tell you. this is a terrible idea. honor her and move on.
(be better than him. SOMEONE'S GOT TO.)
no subject
But... ]
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I mean it.
this isn't just me trying to offer sympathy
my mom left me a notebook from right before she died
I just got it a couple of months ago
if everything she's written in there is true and will happen, I need to figure this out
whether they were involved or if there's another group in play
this isn't just about getting closure
(no subject)
