text| after owen regains his rez powers

[baofeng]

Hi Mr Owen!

Pardon me if this is inappropriate to ask, but did you spend all day with Tenkohime in the luxury suites yesterday? :o

[sicklysweet]

mister? how polite.

i did. it was a night i won't soon forget, i'm sure.

[baofeng]

I try to be a polite person. But wow! That’s incredible! Madam Tenkohime has never spent so much intimate time with a Lost Soul before.

[He might be jumping to conclusions about what they spent the 24 hours doing… but what else could they have been doing? In the Mizukume’s luxury private rooms??? With nothing else sent for other than Owen’s maybe incredibly talented body (as speculated by the Mizukume’s work groupchats)??????

Admittedly Owen could just be a brilliant scholar of traditional yokai arts and they just talked the whole time, but that’s also kind of intimate. Spiritual or intellectual intimacy is also spicy.]

I’m at a loss for words... I want to know how you captured her attention for so long but that is absolutely a breach of privacy. Don’t tell me! But is it okay if I tell my coworkers at the Mizukume you really were there the whole night?

You must be super talented.

[sicklysweet]

[A better person would probably try to gently correct Yizhi’s assumptions while keeping to Tenkohime’s request to not tell anyone about his resurrection magic…

Unfortunately, Owen.]

you can tell them whatever you want.

do you want to know what we were really doing all night?

[baofeng]

[Yizhi pauses his Gossip-Girl-ing and finally turns on his brain.]

What do you think will have the most interesting results?

[He remembers Owen's attitude on that network post... the man seems to be a tricksy one. Owen might appreciate an offer to collaborate on this rumor.]

I dunno if it’s something I want to hear about. With your knowledge, how interesting is the truth?

[sicklysweet]

well, she did tell me to keep what happened in there a secret. some information is better kept from the masses...

but the truth isn't anything anyone who already knows me would find surprising.

[baofeng]

[Intriguing…. Yizhi isn’t sure it’s sex anymore, but he’s not sure it’s not sex either. Where he comes from, fucking/getting fucked by your beautiful lady boss who you are not married to is also something you want to keep secret from the masses.]

I think I have room to know you better. But for those who do know you well, I guess we should make a convincing lie so they don’t figure it out.

[sicklysweet]

[Glad Yizhi is considerate of the bottoms getting pegged in the world.]

i don’t think any of them would be convinced with tales of my sexual prowess. intimacy with women isn’t exactly something i indulge in often, at least not if i’m the man in the equation.

[Don’t worry about it.]

[baofeng]

But if you’re the woman in the equation is that fine?

[how does it feel to be on the receiving end of weirdness, owen]

[sicklysweet]

why wouldn’t it be fine? men tend to be more drawn to me as a witch, sometimes, anyways.

[What does it make you when you can be both mostly gay man and a mostly straight woman……… A shitty sitcom, probably.]

un: skewer | text; like the night after faction mingles

[passthrough]

[What time is it? Who knows. ]

oi

owen

[sicklysweet]

[Is it to kill him?]

[passthrough]

Its better with somebolse

lse

somebody se



do you want food

[sicklysweet]

[Holy shit, is he drunk? Is he being drunk texted right now? That's hilarious.]

i don't know what dango is, so i'm not sure i want to go get some with you or not. food is a pretty broad term, after all. what if it's something i'll hate?

but if you ask nicely, i could come keep you company.

[passthrough]

oh you aren t from here thats right

rice dumplin

littl balls on a stick and you put them in your mouth

if you hate it thats fine i can eat it and we can find somethin you like

maybe

don tknow whats around here

but i told you i wanted to figure stuff out so youre the first person i thoughtof

dont think the others would want o see me like this anywy

[sicklysweet]

[HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT “RICE” IS, EITHER, OTEGINE.]

balls in your mouth… do you suck on them or chew them?

[sighs……………]

i like sweet things. things sweet enough to rot your teeth and turn your insides black with all the sugar festering inside you. i’m sure you can find something like that.

i’m sure there’s also plenty of people who would be willing to keep you company right now, but i’m so touched you thought of me first. i didn’t realize i had made such an… impact.

> audio

[passthrough]

why would you suck ona dumpling

you can get sweet dango but I don t think theyre that sweet

still kind of wan hm thoug

wan hem

damnsn

[A jostle, as audio is turned on.]

Hate this thing. Can you even hear me, uh--

[The actual slur is his words is very, very mild, but it does sound like he's at least moderately buzzed.]

It's not like I'm popular. Told you. 'M not good at much of anything. [There's the clank of ceramic against wood, a glass being filled.] If you'd rather not, jus' say so.

Just thought it'd be kind've nice to talk.

[sicklysweet]

[Oh, this sweet summer child. Before he can double down on the innuendo, though, as Otegine switches to audio.]

I can hear you just fine.

[He doesn’t sound as drunk as he would have expected - seems texting is one of those things he’s not good at.]

Just talk? Nothing more than that?

[With him? Why? What does he have to offer to someone like Otegine? Or anyone, for that matter.

It’s not like he’ll like anything Owen has to say, but… that’s all the more reason to accept.]

Well, I can spare some time for that, as long as you’re treating.

[passthrough]

Mn. Nothing fancy.

[His budget is lmao..... but it's fine that's not on his mind right now.]

Wanted to make it up t' you for the other week, anyway, but... hahah. I don't really know how.

[sicklysweet]

[You can just Steal, tho. Or dine and dash.]

I have very particular tastes, just so you know.

[He's a huge liar.

Also, make it up to him? For the other week? For... doing what Owen asked him to do?]

The other week... I'm assuming you don't mean your prying into my past when you say that.

[All the comments about him dying all the time, which are still very weird.]

What time is it? ...It's time for a pop quiz you say? Correct! You have one day to answer so good luck.

The inequality |x − 2| < 6 can be expressed in the form a < x < b where a = ____ and
b = ____ .

[ A certain terrorist has been assigned homework that he's outsourcing on this day. So how'd Gogol get this number? Let's just say it's a bad day to be a fellow Tamamo. Questionanswers here because I'm not going to make you do real math unless you want to. ]

[quizpersona]

[ The downside is he has to do some quick math to know if it's right or wrong. ]

That's a great attempt... and a very excellent and also [ WRONG. ] super correct answer!?
