No, I'm unhappy that you have such a terribly inaccurate impression of me! [so same thing...] You should wait to get to know me before saying such awful things!
[in the meantime, Okuni will lead Minato to her portal.... which is a pit. it's a pit cleverly disguised as solid ground. She was going to warn him about it!! (maybe) but now she must defend herself, so she'll turn around with her hands on her hips like she's going to complain more
but really she's just waiting for an opportunity to shove Minato]
no subject
So like.
Yeah.
He just frowns a little.]
But... I don't understand why you would try to insist that you're a bad person. That doesn't seem like something a bad person would do...?
1/2
And so, she gathers herself up with all the grace of someone who has a witty rejoinder
then
she shoves Minato's side so that he falls into her ALICE IN WONDERLAND PIT]
no subject
A portal that's nicer than the well, since it'll just spit Minato and Okuni out into a nice grassy area in front of a traditional Japanese temple. It's like it's a door, so they're not actually falling from the sky to land in a crater on the ground.... THANK GOODNESS!!
Okuni brushes herself off as she arrives after him though, once again cheerful.]
How about that?
[THERE, SHE WAS BEING BAD!!]
no subject
He blinks a little blankly, tilting his head as he looks around, still seated as he gets his bearings.]
I had no idea your doorway was there...
[Huh!!]
Thanks for letting me see your home.
[He is apparently entirely unruffled by the pushing.]
no subject
[Okuni just like barks this out loud out of sheer frustration, before she starts striding away as fast as possible towards the small house situated near by the temple... The temple itself doesn't seem to have any experimental dungeons or giant monsters lurking nearby, it just has a sign that says Kumou Shrine on it!! INNOCENT!! It is pretty run-down though, with chipped tiling and broken rafters and dirty walkways... The damage seems to be more purposeful than accidental though. Maybe Okuni and Baren are just into trashing their own home??? hm...
Is Okuni trying to ditch Minato??? She like vanishes for a moment into the house, SO MAYBE SHE IS. RUDE!!! that's what Minato gets for being such a friendly guy.
Whether he follows her or not, he'll probably feel a Presence of Something following behind him...]
no subject
...
...
...
He turns, and gets firmly distracted by the Presence of the wayword Kumou youkai, crouching to look more closely. I... it's cute....]
Oh... hello. Do you live here too?
[Sorry, Okuni, he'd follow but animals are Important.]
no subject
The tanuki (because Okuni and Baren are rude af and DIDN'T EVEN NAME HIM THIS TIME) looks Suspicious, before gingerly approaching. In Okuni's memory, the tanuki's a cute, soft animal who's far too affectionate for any wild animal to behave and should really think twice before fluffing up towards strangers... Imagine if she knew he was a youkai, then Tanuki could transform and full body glomp Minato right this second.
Instead, Tanuki pushes his round, fuzzy head into Minato's ankle... AFFECTION!!!]
Alright, I brought out as much stuff as possible, so help me choose --
[Okuni MATERIALIZES from the house with an armful of things ranging from fireworks (??), a comb, pots and pans, a bag of rice, rifles that aren't rifles but are actually just fake, a whole bunch of clothes, and LOTS OF OTHER THINGS that she's managing to hold with only two arms.]
-- Oh, tanuki! He came out to see you, huh? How rare.
[or did Minato's pure protag powers summon him??? Okuni crosses the lawn to meet them both, then deposits her pile right next to Minato.]
no subject
Also.
Why do you have so much shit, Okuni.]
Um... you want to pick what to bring back out of all of those things...?
no subject
I haven't decided yet. I know food's useful and all, but it's not that fun to bring back... What do you think about the fireworks? We can probably only bring back one, huh? Throwing just one firework doesn't sound fun, either...
[The Tanuki enjoys all the head-skritches, then moves forward to try and paw Okuni's ankle. PICK HIM, OKUNI!!! PICK HIM!!!
Okuni pulls out a freaky looking mask instead and looks at it with a critical eye, hmmm]
no subject
Okuni-san... Well, they're your belongings, right? You should bring what you want the most. It might be a couple of months before we ever see anything like this again.
[Immediately chucks out the window what Batman said in favor of being more sentimental.]
no subject
Okuni holds the mask out like she's picturing it on Minato's face, hm.]
What I want...? [tHAT'S AN EVEN HARDER QUESTION!! Tanuki paws at Okuni again, then turns to Minato for Help... PAWS AT MINATO JUST AS URGENTLY!!]
I don't know if I have anything like that here.
[after all, Baren's not around. She looks over at the anxious Tanuki and then laughs,]
What's with him? He must want you to feed him or something.
no subject
Minato just tilts his head, looking between the tanuki and Okuni.]
Don't you think it's just that he's missed you and wants you to pay attention to him?
[That...would be his guess, anyway.]
no subject
He lives at the shrine, but it's not like I own him. He's a wild and free tanuki!
[But even as she says that, she scoops him up and pats him on the head a couple of times.... tanuki!!! don't miss her, she'll moe....]
You can stay here and welcome Baren when he gets back, okay?
[baren is a lonely butthead who will cry without okuni, she attempts to put Tanuki down, but Tanuki just leaps from her arms and right into Minato's]
no subject
... ...]
Someone can be wild and free and still miss the people they're used to having around... don't you think?
[Just...something about how she said that is so strange to him.]
no subject
Then she reaches out as if to take Tanuki from Minato, instead she just squishes the raccoon's face together with her hands, nice...]
It'll be fine! You're a tanuki of the Kumou Shrine, so you understand, right? Good fortune comes to those who smile!
[SO SMILE, TANUKI!!! and also you too, Minato.]
no subject
And also that was very startling, though he just blinks... poor Tanuki.]
... Is that right...
[Good fortune comes to those who smile, huh...?]
That sounds a bit like a motto.
no subject
I suppose they are. They're words to live by. [The tanuki can't smile??? but he at least waves his great big bushy tail around excitedly, possibly hitting Minato in the chest with it.] Don't you have anything like that, Minacchi?
no subject
A motto...? Words to live by?
[Huh...
Minato pauses for a long moment, but he already knows the answer. "I chooseth this fate of my own will."
For better or for worse...isn't that what he had to live his life by to the end? To take responsibility for all of his actions, and to never regret what he's done.
...]
Yeah, I guess I do... maybe. I'll have to think about that more. [So he's not sharing them.]
... Anyway, have you decided on something to bring back?
no subject
[THAT'S RUDE but also fine, Okuni's curious, but she's also satisfied if Minato at least thinks about it... Everyone always has some kind of code or words to live by, she's sure Minato has something like that too.
She reaches over to pluck tanuki from Minato's arms.]
I'll bring back a firework!
[okuni.... but the Tanuki does not look as Devastated, instead he's fine. he understands that Okuni is like this. She picks up said firework from the pile and holds it out for Minato to take.]
no subject
... She's kind, and he knew it. She's a very kind person, and she knows that he's still thinking over what that means for himself. So he'll take that kindness and accept it with a quiet nod, and focus on what they're bringing home.]
Mm, okay. Let's do it. [He'll take it, though he crouches down to give Tanuki one more pat before he goes.]
It's probably safe for you here anyway. [That's just a gentle murmur to the animal, before he stands. READY...!!]
no subject
Alright, let's go!
[how do they get out if they jumped in a hole... the answer is that they just have to get to that grassy spot and HEY, THEY'RE GONE!!! BACK TO EXTREMELY HOT CHROMA]
So, what did you think, Minacchi? [did u like her home!!]
no subject
[Minato's response comes immediately and sincerely!! After all...even if it was a little run down, it seemed like...]
You live in a beautiful shrine, Okuni-san.
no subject
Okuni blinks at Minato, instinctively looking for that hidden 'BUT' that she's naturally come to expect from people (that's what hanging out with just one other person who's equally badly behaved does to you), but then she looks away once she realizes she won't find it.]
Now I'm curious to see how your home looks like, if you think mine is pretty.
[Because it is to her, but it just isn't to other people?
Minato??
is weird??
But she already knew that. . . . maybe he lives in a shack too? maybe he's a shack person]
no subject
Because... it is.
He pauses for a moment, trying to think of the words he wants here.]
It has nothing to do with where I live. I just think... you can really tell when a home is loved.
[There are mansions that are beautiful, sure, but they're cold too--they exist to be admired, but not to be lived in.]
I think a shrine like this must really be loved by the people who live in it... and that makes it beautiful. That's all.
CAL HOW DARE U 1/2
