[ maybe if he'd been cool with sharing dickpops before :/ they wouldn't be staring at this painting :/ ]

Perhaps they're giving us... inspiration.

[crashout]

[There will probably never be a day Junpei is cool with sharing dickpops.

"Not like I'd suck dick for free..." is a thought that crosses his mind before he realizes that's not even remotely what he should be thinking, so he narrows his eyes at the painting instead.]

What, you don't think people can come up with their own ideas? I'd like to think we're a little more creative than that.

[uncleanse]

[ embrace the dick, junpei ]

Haha... you must not have spoken with my peers enough.

[crashout]

[I hate you. Give it a week or two.]

Probably more than you think. [Hizamaru read him excerpts of Sex for Dummies, he kind of figures.] Are you not counting yourself then? I sort of figured you were all...y'know. Inexperienced.

[Does Nikkari think of himself as creative?]

[uncleanse]

Do you really think I'm clueless about the things I say?

[crashout]

[...hm. He's going to, like, actively think about that.]

...so is it a benefit or a frustration to be lumped in with the others who're clueless? [So no. You don't have "sinning" on your profile without being sort of dirty.]

[uncleanse]

Mm... it's hard to say.

[ it depends on the day and the sword in question, really... ]

What I can say for sure, however, is that it's always amusing to see them so flustered once they've finally caught on.

[crashout]

And you never thought of teaching them yourself? [It's not judgmental, he's mostly interested in what Nikkari's game is. He's also glancing at the portrait on and off.] It almost seems like they could learn a lot.

[uncleanse]

The matter never came up in our day-to-day lives... and, ah, Tonbokiri-san and I had undertaken a mission that kept us away from most of the others for quite some time. You know how it is.

[ does he... ]

[crashout]

[...]

Is that why he doesn't have any hobbies? [No, he does not know how it is except for where he sort of does in a way he's 100% not acknowledging. Haha.]

[uncleanse]

Haha. Which one?

[crashout]

Tonbokiri. He sort of mentioned as much.

[uncleanse]

Mm... perhaps. He has always been a more combat-oriented spirit... ah, besides his fondness for performance.

[crashout]

And what about you? You seem to know the world a little better than your teammates. [He looks at his nails to examine them, casual and nonchalant.] What is it you really take pleasure in?

[Sometimes, to get answers, you have to match the tone of conversation.]

[uncleanse]

Do you truly need to ask, Junpei-san?

[crashout]

Yeah. Of course I do.

[uncleanse]

[ he just laughs

that's it ]

[crashout]

[Huh. Well okay, let's try another approach? Maybe he just straight-up doesn't want to believe Nikkari's only goal in life is to be slutty.]

What's funny about asking?

[uncleanse]

Truthfully? To see your reaction.

[crashout]

Are you really so interested in that?

[uncleanse]

Have you already forgotten me saying I find amusement in watching my peers squirm when I tease them?

[ a small, enigmatic smile. ]

But you're correct. Neither that, nor taking advantage of the pleasures these human forms of ours are capable of, is what I live for.

[crashout]

I didn't forget, but I'm not exactly squirming. [Or he's just very good at being stoic when he really concentrates. Either way.]

You're the sword spirit who talks the least about himself. Can you blame me for having some questions?

[uncleanse]

Haha... my lips aren't quite as loose as theirs, I suppose. Besides, it's just in my nature to be mysterious. It fits a sword whose history is so closely tied to the supernatural, doesn't it?

[crashout]

I guess, sure. The supernatural isn't really my expertise or anything.

[That was Akane.] ...sometimes that might be better anyway. We are still locked in a building with strangers we have no reason to really trust. But I'm curious because a sword used to handle ghosts isn't really something I'd think of.

[uncleanse]

Is it really that strange of a concept? Surely you've heard legends of swords who were used to slay oni, youkai, and the like.
