PILLAR OF CREATION↴ Upon arriving, things in Wismuth will seem pretty peaceful. It's a massive city, with no shortage of things going on, but things like violent crime and homelessness are at an all time low. You can wander the streets without much scrutiny, presumed to just be tourists, and most people here come across as helpful and friendly. ► VIBRANCY: The main thing that sets this planet apart is its vibrancy - AKA, the raw creative energy its filled with, flowing from its status as a Pillar of Creation. There is no literal pillar, but Wismuth and its planet is a place where Creation's energy comes through strongest. As a result, everything here feels somehow more real, more intense in a way that's hard to put a finger on. Life is abundant, and its bleeds through in every sensation. ► ATTRACTIONS: There are plenty of things to see while going around the city. First and foremost, there is a lovely beach area bordering the ocean, and a number of tourist aimed attractions built around it. There are giant malls, movie theaters, live stage performances, museums and all kinds of other points of cultural interest. Anything you can do in a big city you can do here, but better. ► ALLOWANCES: The Ringmaster will be giving everyone a reasonable amount of local currency for a few days on the town. You can't make any massive acquisitions with it, but it's more than enough to eat out, see some shows, go to the beach, and whatever you like. You can feel free to pick up some casual supplies, like mundane clothing and souvenirs. There will be more given out later, after the performance week. ► PERFORMANCE: Performance week is starting early this time, after only a couple days of exploration. When the carnival has already been on vacation for a month, the Ringmaster figures they may as well get right to it, and then do more touring afterwards. Members of the local populace will find themselves in the carnival once performances begin, dazzled by the other worldly sights. Magic doesn't seem to exist here, despite the fact that it will flow easier for people bringing it from other worlds. |

[This isn't the beautiful woman who will let him lay his head in her lap as he dies! And though she's hesitant to go all out on a kid like him, he still works for Mephisto, which isn't earning him any favors in her mind. Circus or not, he's a danger to Yukio and that has to be taken care of before she can let her guard down.]
Maybe that's something you should save up for. Y'know, since you've been gettin' along with Yukio so well recently. He prolly deserves somethin' nice for puttin' up with you!
no subject
[Only slightly jealous though. He doesn't need Yukio's problems.]
no subject
[excuse you what are you saying shima]
I'm jus' sayin'--with all you're doin' to him, you'd better be willing to take care of him.
no subject
no subject
[seriously if yukio fell in love with someone and was having fun she'd be super happy, even if it was this particular shima...]
But since you and your boss seem intent on taking him out of the Order, I guess it's pretty close!
no subject
[But there it is, the direct accusation.]
Ya do know he's the kinda guy who plays himself, right? I didn't really do anything but tell him what the options are and wait.
1/2
Of course I know that~ I ain't blind!
[She pauses, takes a long sip of her water. She'd remember this later--Rin could make something like this for her, right?]
I'm not going to be angry about you snatchin' Hachiro. [a bit of a lie] But Yukio's not the same story. Since you're the one who's been extending the invitation to him, I expect you're willin' to act as his guardian while he's out gettin' his answers!
no subject
So if anything happens to him, I'll make sure you take full responsibility for it.
no subject
I can warn him about bad decisions but that won't actually stop him, ya know...
no subject
[Back to that sweet voice of hers, as if it had never changed.]
Trust me, there are better ways ♥ I can make sure that the only tits you see are the 2d ones in your dirty mags if that's more convincing! [She doesn't know about the one Mephisto rewarded him with that was later torn up, but he seems like the type to value his girlie mags.]
And as for how you're supposed to do it--you're a sharp boy, so I'm sure you can figure out a way. You don't have to guard him if no one's aiming to hurt him, but you'll have to figure a way to get him out safely before somethin' happens. That's all~
no subject
[He huffs and sinks back in the chair with his cup up to his nose.] If ya want a way ta help him, it's not like there aren't options... Heck, ya actually got him ta talk now, which is better than I can say for how things went down at home.
no subject
[Spying's not all fun and games, Shima! Especially not when you're doing it for both sides.
On the other hand... He knew that Yukio talked to her? Wait, had he been watching them the entire time? Her grip on her cup tightens, nearly enough to crack the thin plastic.]
But you're right, he did talk to me a bit~ I didn't know you knew, though. You're a pretty sneaky kid, aren't you?
no subject
[Smiles back! Like he isn't implicating her along with the vague "they" adults in his life.]
The good news is it's really only my neck on the line here, even though he's spilled! Commander-in-Chief Lucifer really wanted Okumura-sensei ta go over willingly. He wants him as an ally, and with him wanting ta cut ties to the Order, I don't think he'll be treated badly. As for how much of a danger Okumura-sensei is ta himself and ah.. others, well. there's a whole year now for the people closest to him ta figure out how ta get him ta accept help, isn't there.
no subject
That's just being part of adult, gettin' pushed around by your superiors. It doesn't matter what your job is, though you certainly picked the worst one if you're wantin' respect!
[protip from Shura, who is continually dealing with crap from Angel and Mephisto...]
But I don't want ya thinkin' that you're my only hope! This is just insurance, just in case somethin' happens. It'd be silly not to have more than one plan in mind, all considerin'.
[It's really suspicious that he's telling her all of this?? Yukio had only mentioned that Shima had been talking to him, and they didn't go in to what was going on more than that.</small.]
no subject
Oh, that's good then. 'Cause ya know, I'm not the kinda guy you can count on ta put anyone before myself, especially if we're talking life or death, [whatever actions he may have taken to the contrary in the past, Shima considers that a realistic assessment of who he is] so this option's actually kinda a gamble. Even Kirigakure-sensei isn't as scary as getting turned inta an Illuminati experiment or something if I'm caught ruining their plans, ya know?
no subject
You're right~ I'd rather not put my faith in a spy, you know! And I'm sure the Illuminati could put you through a certain kind of hell that I couldn't. [Or at least, probably couldn't before Mephisto interfered. That guy probably would stop her from getting vengeance on his spy.]
But, you know, I believe you're a pretty clever kid! I couldn't sniff you out when I tryin' to figure out who the mole was back then, and I'm not bad at that kinda thing! So I think it isn't pointless to tell you what I expect from ya should things go south!
no subject
I'll be rootin' for ya too, as long as your other solutions aren't at my expense. Those Okumuras are a handful!
no subject
I guess that's a good thing.
[Lightning vouched for him;Shura trusts Lightning's judgment. But still Shima was a spy, and she doesn't know if he's the encouragement she needs...
Well, whatever. It's about then that a technician pops her head in the lobby and calls for them.]
Ah, good timing~ C'mon, let's go. You won't regret coming along ♥
no subject
[He totally just put on a bit of a voice just now as they're lead over to some squashy comfy-looking spa chairs. Possibly because the technician is in earshot and now he's hamming it up.]
no subject
[Well, if this was the route he wanted to take, she could roll with it.]
I think you're underestimatin' how nice these are, Renzou! [okay, calling him that felt really weird and she'll never do it again after this.] Just think of it as research if it makes you feel better.
[The tech just laughs, trying to redirect their attention to the selection of polishes. Shura settles in one of the cushy chairs and works on her boots as she glances of the polishes.]
Oh, that black will work fer me. What about you, huh? Don't be afraid of choosin' something fun!
no subject
Nah--it should probably be something different, right?
[Shima is normally almost imperviously shameless, but somehow this feels different than putting on a girl's school uniform to sneak into the girls dorm or to fight a ghost that only targets girls. Possibly because it'd actually last a little while and only he'd know about it unless it was told or shown to someone.
But it is just for fun and research, even if Shura's laughing at him. So he makes a low thinking sound as he looks over the colors, only to have the nail tech assure him he has plenty of time to consider his pick while they're doing the foot-bath and massage.]
Jeez, there're a lot of colors... [And they're all Wismuth Bright, too.]
no subject
[Would this be considered hazing?? Well, Shura's moral compass isn't that good, and she's definitely enjoying seeing him looking almost abashed. This isn't vengeance for peeping in on her and Yukio talking, of course not.]
Mm, speaking of your hair, you should think about gettin' some dye before we get too busy. I don't wanna hear you whining about your roots if you forget.
[Hair dye was probably going to be pretty easy to snag, but Shura hasn't missed the brightness of the polishes. Was she saying that to be nice to him? Maybe. Really, she was thinking about how she should invest in some cosmetics for herself while she was here... But first, time to let her feet soak in in the nice water. Even in present company, Shura can't help but let out a moan.]
Jeeez, that feels good! I can't remember the last time I got to do this.
no subject
[He cuts a glance toward her then, at her little exaltation.]
Isn't it just a bath for your feet?
[It clearly isn't, but she seems to be enjoying herself so much he has to tease where he can.]
i feel like i should note i'm bsing pedicures based off of internet articles
[Since not bottling up stress and feeling was an important part of being an exorcist, then self care was vital, which meant pampering should really be considered a work expense. That was sound logic, right??]
This is just the start~ By the end of this, you'll be thankin' me for bringin' ya!
[The second tech will show up pretty quick after that, and they'll get to work after letting their customers' feet soak for a minute.]
