Oh? Am I to take that he just came over and introduced himself to you as such? Or that they found his bones and ran some DNA tests?

I've met a lot of half-youkai over the ages, and I've known that bastard Abe no Seimei for years. Whatever he was, he wasn't some puny half-animal.

[nightwild]

I grew up on the storybooks about Abe no Seimei. It was in all of the stories. His mother was the fox Kuzunoha.

Do you think it's possible you're the one who's wrong? You got tricked by someone else using his name?

[nuraridouman]

Impossible.

After all I've seen him in action. Or do you know any other Onmyoji who protected the Emperor and the capital from the terrible Shuten Doji and commanded the four divine guardian beasts Genbu, Seiryū, Byakko and Suzaku? I have even seen him devise some of his most famous magics.

But if you'd rather believe story books that were made for kids....

[nightwild]

Shuten Doji...

[Yeah, that was Seimei, but...]

Wait, the four beasts of Kyoto? That wasn't in any of the stories.

[nuraridouman]

No? But he was the one who set them to protect the four cardinal gates of the city himself. Three of them are still doing that job even today.

[nightwild]

[She thinks.

And she thinks.

And she thinks.

And eventually, just puts her hands to her head in frustration.]

Aaaagh, I don't get it! This doesn't make any sense!

[nuraridouman]

[Douman just chuckles at that. If only she knew who is really telling her all that stuff. Then she wouldn't doubt anymore.]

You know the old saying that there's always a grain of truth in myths? It's just like that. I know the truth because I was alive and around during that time. Why, I even remember the day Abe no Seimei died and the following conundrum vividly~

[nightwild]

Yeah, that part's fine, whatever. That's not the problem.

But you're not lying... and he wasn't lying. So it doesn't make any sense!

[mightymorphin]

Doesn't matter?! I don't know if you're playing humble, or if you're just that dedicated to being a closed book. Anyone else in your position would be bragging about it!

[Morph knows that they're far chattier in general - hence all the stuff they've already shared to this point - but still!]

What's next, huh? Am I gonna find out you have two evil twins and you're a secretly a rock star in your spare time?

[mightymorphin]

I could. I can shift it to any other clothing I want, so it would be annoying, but not impossible.

[nuraridouman]

Hmm. That's indeed a problem, then.


Maybe you could consider thinking of ways how both of us could be telling "the truth" your homework? Come up with at least 3-5 ways until we meet again. That much should be easy.

[nightwild]

Homework? The hell are you talking about? I dropped out anyway.

[nitropowered]

Maybe that's why I'm a little into you. But deep down I know it'd be better if I wasn't such a bully and an asshole. So maybe I should change.

But man, having someone who doesn't want to change me feels good. And dangerous.

You sound like a riot.

[nuraridouman]

No. I think that there were some siblings at some point, but they have been as dead as the rest of my family for such a long time that I sincerely doubt that you'd even find dust leftover from them.

[Douman shrugs his shoulders again. It's no big deal, is it?]

Bragging would only attract gold diggers and thieves. So no thanks. Besides, I put nearly all the money I own into my school's upkeeping. Oh, and I can't keep a tone to save my life.

[nuraridouman]

Then isn't that all the more reason to sharpen your proverbial claws and train not only your body but also your head from time to time?

[nuraridouman]

Wanna bet how long you managed to do that before getting fed up or simply forgetting it at some point?

[nightwild]

What's the point? I already know I'm stupid.

[nuraridouman]

Says who?

[heroondecku]

Well, um...what kind of things you do for fun? Like, with friends, and...other stuff.

[nightwild]

Says everyone I've ever talked to.

[mightymorphin]

Do you really have nothing better to do than to stalk me, Nura?

[nuraridouman]

And you'll just listen to them?

[nuraridouman]

Ah? And here I thought you'd like the idea of me not taking my eyes off of you.

[nightwild]

Sure seems to be true. My grades were always terrible. I don't understand what people are talking about most of the time. Everyone else just can understand what's right and wrong, and all I know how to do is swing my fists.

[mightymorphin]

[Hey they don't know any better!!]

Oh, so it's a wish with strings attached?

Still sounds super dangerous. Having someone go nutso with power isn't any better.
