That sounds an awful lot like a pyramid scheme.

I hope you get a chance to punch this Goddess of yours in the face some day. It sounds like she could really use it.

[mightymorphin]

What part of that was a bet?!

[nightwild]

... The worst part is, I think she really believes in what she's doing.

But I'm going to. I won't let her keep causing these problems any more. No matter what I have to do.

[nuraridouman]

"Slimy"?

[There's that small hesitation and gently amused curiosity in his voice that'd tell any of his canonmates that they'd just royally fucked up and better ought to pick their words VERY CAREFULLY around him now.]

[mightymorphin]

I don't know what's here from Earth, but there's got to be something. Let's go looking for one soon.

[nightwild]

[Fortunately, she's oblivious.]

That's what your name means, right? The youkai I know about tended to have really descriptive names, so...

[heroondecku]

Well…maybe? Sometimes I’m not sure if we know each other too much, or not enough.

[nuraridouman]

It became one when I said it's one. [See? It's right here.]

[mightymorphin]

...

Fine. If I win, you don't get to criticize what I wear into a fight ever again.

[nitropowered]

I dunno either. If it's too much or not enough.

Do you uh, have any hobbies besides heroes?

[nuraridouman]

[ Siiiiiiiigh ]

I swear, you animals and your illiteracy.... What you are thinking of is "nurunuru", not "nura".

[nightwild]

They're the same thing, right?

[weren't we having a moment a minute ago. no we're doing this now.]

[nuraridouman]

That sounds like there's a very complicated story.

[He shakes his head with a soft sight.]

I never tried to gather any fighters. That shit's just way more trouble than it's ever worth it.

[Douman's own power has always been more than enough. So rather than random people getting between the fronts, he'd rather have them hang back and protect themselves and their homes.]

Hyakki Yagyō isn't the name of my school. That's Hyakki Academy, the oldest and most prestigious school in the world of the youkai. I own it along with the island it's build on, including the city, mall, amusement park and all.

[ probably the only time you'll ever find Ellie NOT being cagey tbh ]

[heroondecku]

…do Quirks and Quirk Theory count?

[They’re not directly related to heroes, but also, he definitely applies his passion for them to his passion for heroics…]

[nuraridouman]

Only if you ignore grammar, context and several brush strokes. [Which is absolutely what most animal-type youkai Douman knows always do. Hell, they can consider themselves lucky that she didn't end up calling him "Van Gogh" instead!]

It's "滑" like slip or cunning. Not some silly comic sound effect.

[nightwild]

Oh.

... Close enough, anyway. Aren't slimy things slippery? Like slugs and frogs? Though I guess you're a rabbit, if you're 'pyon'...

[nuraridouman]

Hyon.

[ Guess we're at the 'Van Gogh' level after all. ]

[nightwild]

Close enough.

[nuraridouman]

I'm not making any promises I won't keep.

[At least he's honest??]

[mightymorphin]

It's not a fair bet if I don't get something out of this!

[nuraridouman]

It'd still be a failing grade if you did this on a test. Anyway.


The point is that I'm a youkai that humans find generally really troublesome to deal with. I'd daresay that Seimei got a lot of good use out of me before I finally decided to give him the 'slip'.

[Of course he was still Douman and an aspiring Onmyoji himself, back then. Fortunately having to tell the truth doesn't mean that he has to do it chronologically accurate or deliver any necessary context needed to not misunderstand. Hmmm, coming to think of it, he had gotten fed up with Seimei and decided to ditch him really fast even as a kid, hadn't he? The big name and fame hadn't dazzled him long.]

[nuraridouman]

Oh, but you get the learning experience! Usually you lose your life or worse when you carelessly bet with a youkai, so I'd even call this more than generous~

[Things Morph should have learned by now: Douman is a very casual sadist and not 1% ashamed of it.]

[nilhilistic]

It was in the way. I needed power and I had to rid myself of humanity to gain it.

[ this is true. it's not the whole truth, but it is true. ]

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

You just want to ride a dragon.
