"A temple! Ah, I will mark it on my calendar to visit soon enough. You have been entirely too kind Yasuki-san, I will be putting in a good word about you to your superiors. Who might they be by the way? The governor obviously, but I expect you speak to the directors of some office or another more ...

Koroshi laughs easily but not in a cruel way. "You have asked a very difficult question, very important that it is. Trouble for the fish is dinner for the hawk. But, to put it shortly, no. Left to their own patterns I do not think the fire and ash kami would have burned my nanny's hair. It was my ...

"This fish that is a crab sounds wonderful. One might think it a metaphor for the Yasuki in the Crab Clan!" The Otomo sounded his normal bombastic self despite the nasty weather. He slicked back his hair with a smile.

"Yasuki-san, what is your favorite part of the town? Somewhere specific that has ...

"Imitation crab? What kind of chameleon-like crab is that?" The Otomo asked with genuine curiosity. "Does it pretend to be a coral formation or a rock or something?"

"Ah, I see." He began using the second controller while speaking the jingle in time.

"When can I expect delivery? I am staying at some spa hotel, I forget the name."

"Otomo Koroshi, priest, and jogger!" Koroshi introduced himself once he had caught his breath.

"What kind of work does the town do? Mining? Fishing? Industrial? Touristy?"

Snip


"My father doesn't work in a museum, my apologies! He curates art for the district governor's estate. He does have a degree in history though..." Koroshi rubbed the air where his beard would be if he had one.

"I know he would love to be a curator of the Emperor's palace, but such things ...

"But I want all the colors?" Koroshi said in confusion. He looked down at his fingers for a bit before shrugging and putting his arms wide.

"12 battle carps! You may pick the colors, and I will have them repainted if they aren't suitable. Now, how do they work?"

An eggplant jogged its way over to the Moto with a big wave of both its arms.

Koroshi was purple and green this morning, looking for all the world like an eggplant that had grown legs and arms. His joggers were wet, but he had forgone the light-up sneakers for a purple pair that kept the water out ...

Koroshi carefully began swatching a selection of lipsticks while he listened. The coral seemed to be his favorite if his expression was any suggestion. He also focused on a forest green with glitter.

"I will not be repeating the rooster, I do not in general wear the same thing twice. But it does ...

"Are there others?" He asked, his player not actually knowing what the colors of the rainbow are and thus general idiocy abounds.

"Is White and Black an option too? Wait, what about Gold and Silver?"

Will be asleep soon.

"I have smaller wings, in silver and white." He admitted. "But they do not go with the golden rooster theme."

He also turned his attention to the array of products, being more of a true spring himself he focused on a bright coral lipliner.

"Worry not!" Koroshi said applying a very small amount to ...

"This I can do. I would like...five Battle Carps!" He put out five fingers for emphasis. "One for each color of the rainbow!"

"My suit!" He cried patting himself down suddenly. His eyes focused back on the Shinjo and he smiled after a couple of heartbeats.

"Sorry Shinjo-san. You look really cute when you are worried, you know that?" Koroshi then shut his eyes and put a hand to his forehead.

"Ahhhh....damn that hurt. I am ...

Were the Yasuki capable of pulling up files on the planet intranet of the Otomo, most of them would be photos he had uploaded himself, detailing the process of putting on stilts for an outfit.

"Miya-sama finds his job very soothing or so he says. But no matter, how much support would the Flying ...

"It is a date!" He declared to all the world, before sending her a fourty-five word text in half as many seconds without even looking at his communication screen. Mostly exclamations of joy, happiness, and a declaration of mutual honor and respect.

Followed by ...

Well THAT was direct. She'd ask him to take her out to dinner first, but he apparently WAS dinner.

She smiled a bit.

"I could share that information with you, Otomo-sama, but I will need to know a bit more about you and who you represent. The clarity of the answer depends on the source of your ...

Koroshi ran head-long into a sign with a crash. He had been turning his neck to speak to the Unicorn but had not slowed down or been looking where he was going. There was a crash and he ended up in a heap of limbs and bunny ears.

He looked stunned to be on the ground suddenly and put a hand to his ...
