10 minutes later;

[deontology]

[He's fighting off monsters, so it takes him some time, and when he finally goes manage to respond, it's even as he tries to breathe. Behind a boulder. Fucking dragons.]

Honshu wolves. And my name is Abe no Sousei.

[.....this girl. That text is...]

why are you so fond of coyotes?

[scenting]

[ dragons do suck, yeah ]

is abe no your first name

[ but oh how to answer that... ]

they remind me of my family

[deontology]

sousei is my first name. abe is my last name.

[...but really, Malia, could you be any more obvious?]

are you an obake? no, rather, are you a shapeshifter? [she's not Japanese, she's not an obake, but...maybe something else, more western but similar.]

[scenting]

oh should i call you your first or last name
people here switch alot betweeen it
some people like their first name
some like their last
its kind of weird so i just ask
im fine with my first name

[ sssshut up she doesn't mean to ]

no
whats an obake
im not a shapeshiffter or a werewolf or anythng

[ jfc malia ]

[deontology]

sousei is fine.

an obake is a shapeshifter, like a kitsune or the like. do you shapeshift into a coyote, then?

[scenting]

ok

no

[ can't hold all these limes i mean lies ]

[deontology]

are you lying to me?

[she suddenly sure got succinct there.]

[scenting]

[ there's a long pause between texts here ]











yeah sorry

why do you want to know

[deontology]

[wow that was easy.]

it is fine. please do not lie to me in the future.

i was simply trying to confirm a hunch. that is all. naturally, i will not tell anyone either, if you are keeping it a secret.

[scenting]

[ she really doesn't like lying 8( ]

ok thanks its supposed to be a secret but no one really cares here and i dont get it. im not like ashamed or anything its just

weird

[deontology]

do what makes you most comfortable. you don't have to take back what you haven't said.

but it does not bother me that you are a shapeshifter.

[scenting]

yeah

werecoyote. thats what i am

[deontology]

i see. thank you for telling me.

i come from a family of people who deal with such things as shapeshifters and non-humans. as you said, it is not that strange for many people here.

[scenting]

really what kind have you met and do you have someone in charge like an alpha

wait are you a shapeshifter too

[deontology]

no, i am human. my family line is famous for onmyodo--that is, cosmetology, divination and magic, so i am somewhat familiar with these matters.

and no i have not found an alpha for you, nor do i intend to look.

[scenting]

magic?? so your like a druid but i guess not like a druid i know oh

i have an alpha already ! i have a whole pack but none of them are here i would NEVER replace them

[deontology]

i personally am not, no. i'm not practiced in it.

then why were you asking?

[scenting]

why not

i just want to know how other people like me work

[deontology]

i chose to study the way of the sword instead

you mean creatures of a pack mentality, then?

[scenting]

swords instead of magic? is it worth it

no. kind of. i mean non humans.

[deontology]

[...is it worth it. That's a question he's been asking himself on the daily here; he'd never doubted its worth before, but now...

Well, Malia of all people doesn't need to know how much he's been agonized over this since coming here.]

it's the decision i made, i don't intend to regret it.

you asked after alphas.

[that's kind of.......not that subtle.....]

1/2

[scenting]

no i

wait

2/2

[scenting]

[ switching to video now!!

she's sitting cross legged on her couch, cerevice hovering in front of her. she pulls her hands back as she steadies it and drops them into her hands. ]

I'm not good at texting, sorry. I really mean just... if you have a family like that, do you guys have some sort of... head? Or something. I don't know how it works with onmyodos.

[deontology]

[You know, he's still fighting ViViD monsters.

That was the initial point of this thread, and it is still a thing.

He ducks behind a rock, and blinks at her.]

... ... ... Onmyouji. Would be the word for them. And there is a head of the family, I suppose, yes.

I don't know much more about it, I'm afraid.
