005 || Accidental Video, then text

[A video footage will begin to record, revealing a small pair of teeth chewing onto the screen, from the angle it was clear to take note that a white pup or fox might be behind it. At one point, the teeth will disappear to reveal a curious baby fox staring back at the screen, wondering on the reason behind his papa throwing out such a great toy. It will not be long until another pair of paws will pounce onto the bracelet, the screen goes black due to it. Yet, the video does not seize from recording, on the contrary, there will be noises on the background as two foxes argue over keeping the toy for themselves or returning the item to their father.

After a while, the bracelet will be thrown further from them, in the background the foxes were still arguing and play fighting, but there was something new on the sceen -- a man's figure sitting on the ground, their arms wrapped around their knees, as the figure uses the corner as a wall to keep himself from falling onto the ground. At first, it will be difficult to tell who the man was due to the dim lights, but it was clear it was Soushi on the screen. While the twin foxes fought in the background, Soushi will not move an inch and the video will continue to record him until Rem, the more responsible fox kit, grabs the bracelet and hurriedly returns it to him with Rom, the one from the beginning, begrudgedly following after his brother. Rem will place the bracelet next to Soushi before he places his front paws onto his knee and begins to bark (whoever can undestand fox speak would know).]

(Papa! Please. Put it back on.)

[Soushi will not show any sign of movement until Rem barks even loudly, with more energy.]

(FATHER!)

[The bark will grab his attention as he moves his attention to the tiny creature, then he will notice the bracelet as Rom uses his nose to return the item to his dad. The older man will take hold of the bracelet, but without even thinking about it, he will toss the item at the other side of the room, filled with anger. The bracelet will hit the wall and ground, and moments later Rem will grab the bracelet and quickly return it to his father for the second time. Rom will try to shake for his attention. Again, Soushi will grab the bracelet and throw it even harder and further away. One would ask from being thrown, if he will ever notice the bracelet was on, but it didn't seem like it. And for the third time, one of the fox twins will grab the bracelet and return it to Soushi, but this time both foxes will bark and whine.]

(Papa. The bracelet is on! Speak.)

[At the realization of the bracelet recording, Soushi will reach for it and give it a glance as he realized that it was on, but he did not show sign of surprise or even emotion. His gaze was darkened, lack of emotion; even though, his eyes are clearly red, he must have cried. It will not be long until the screen will blackened, only for everyone in the network to receive the following message soon after:]

Ririchiyo Shirakiin has returned home. She is no longer within Asgard's borders. I apologize for not have had the chance to inform those whom were her acquaintance beforehand. Everything came as a surprise, even for myself. I am sorry.

[And with that, he turns off the feed without another word.]

[OOC: I only wanted to let everyone know I will be slow in tagging, but I will try my best to answer everyone tonight!]

This was the girl that you were guarding when we last spoke?

[So... this was what he looked like. She only noticed from the account identification.]

[There will be a half hour of time before Sam will receive a return message.]

Yes, she was.

[Sorry. He was not in the best of moods at the moment. It will take some time for him to regain a piece of his old self. Hopefully.]

[She fully understood, at least in principle.]

You have my condolences then. She seemed a nice person.

Ririchiyo-sama is the most gracious individual I have ever been given the chance to meet within this lifetime.

[He can't help, but pause as he thought about his master with fondness. How will he be able to continue on living without her now? It was the only question circling his mind.]

Her endearing qualities such as her bashfulness and timid nature usually ten to block the full extent of her kindness from others. It is a shame you were unable to get better acquainted with her, Grey-san. You two would have gotten along well. [At least, he believes so because Samantha's kindness slightly resemble to one such as Ayame, Ririchiyo's aunt and Kagerou's mother.]

It is a shame. I know how it can be hard to show the giving side of you when you really aren't used to being around a lot of other people, or are on the shy side. This place seems to force people out in public, even if they're not ready for it. Maybe she'll be sent back here, or at the least you two will be back together. But that's not much help right now, I know.

[It really isn't much help, but he won't hint it or confess it. Instead he will prove his gratitude for her efforts in trying to help him. Now that Ririchiyo is gone, he needs to make a better effort in getting along with others.]

This world is rather unique especially whenever it comes to emotions and interactions between individuals. I do admit Asgard has helped Ririchiyo-sama grow as a person. She was doing well here...

[Her fate back in their world was what truly worried him more than anything. Her fate to fall into the abyss...he needs to block it from happening, somehow. But how can he when he was currently stuck within a realm different from their own? Maybe this was his punishment for being of no use to the other patrons during the war? For the time being, he believed so.]

...it is quite possible she will be able to return. My only wish is for her to return with her memories intact, then with no memories at all. It would be rather cruel for her to begin anew along with her precious acquaintances, those she held dearly within her heart.

[All of her friends made within Asgard, he didn't wish for her to forget them. Along with a few other promises they both made, too.]

It is very cruel when people end up here with no memory of the past, though I suppose that there have to be times when it is less so. For some, there might be very bad memories of this place.

Still, either way I'm sorry that she's gone. I don't know if we can do anything for people there, but you can always help to set things up so she has something to come back to. Even with memories it's not exactly easy is it?

[It was actually somewhat fortunate he didn't mention the Abyss. That sort of thing would definitely not make her happy, given how similar it was to some of her own issues.]

[At the words over Ririchiyo wishing to forget certain memories, Soushi can't help begin to wonder over such an idea. Would she wish to forget everything even the awful memories? He didn't need time to think about it because he knew the answer and knew that Ririchiyo would never wish for such an idea. Never. No matter how terrible the memories may be, and that was one of the many reasons he adored her as much as he did.]

Yes, you are correct. It is difficult to be unable to support oneself if we have nothing to return to. Thank you very much for your supportive words, Grey-san. As I have mentioned many times before: you are very kind. I will take your words into consideration such as it is my duty as her SS Agent to have everything ready for her return to Asgard, if she is to return.

[If he is to keep the apartment in the Freya district, then he is going to have to work a few extra jobs to support himself and the kits and Murai. He was determined to make it all work.]

I will have to find extra work to receive more income. Do you have any suggestions over searching for good places to find work? A few of my duties is working in native shops as a maneger or book keeper.

[Maybe she did have a sympathetic side at times, she supposed. It still felt weird to think of herself that way.]

Don't worry about it. Right now, Pinch only has part time work available unless you're an Alchemist. I think working for local businesses as a manager is actually a very good idea. You might also ask over at Folkvang if the comfort house could use security, since you've got experience as a bodyguard. I don't know if they hire travelers, but I don't see why not.]

[The choices were considered good to him, mostly the security guard one. He can't help wish to continue to work anything related to the protection field. It will keep his capabilities from rusting, after all.]

How does one become an Alchemist? I never knew that type of career path was possible within Asgard.

[As the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, he should be able to master all types of magic without any issue. After all, the fox is most powerful in abilities of illusion and trickery.]

Yes. I will make such a query over at Folkvang. Let us hope they will not mind it neither. To be able to work as security would be the best for someone in my current posession. Thank you very much for your suggestion, Grey-san. I greatly appreciate your assistance during these difficult times. [If this wasn't all text, he would be bowing in gratitude towards her.]

My mother trained me back home. It, along with the study of the old ways was part of my growing up. Magic is denied me here, or at least the sort I know, but the old principles of alchemy and potion making was similar enough to the herbal work they have here that I have been able to apply the teachings to their herbs.

Personally, I hope that you can find work at Folkvang. It seems a good, suitable place for you to keep yourself in practice even if it's likely to be quiet.

[She could almost see the bow in the typing really.]

[Sam's explanation has gained his attention because he can't help wonder over her magical abilities now. What sort of power did she hold in her world? It was a question he will be sure to ask some time in the future, maybe.]

To be given the priveledge to do so, it sounds wonderful, Grey-san. I am happy for you. Are you using your potion and herbal knowledge publicly? [He had a feeling she was because she does not seem like the type to not use her capabilities to her advantage.]

Thank you very much. I do hope so, as well. If the job is likely to be as so, then visiting Thor's arena should become one of my new routines. Do you visit such an area as well, Grey-san?

Yep, that's what Pinch of Sage is for. It's an apothecary. I supply medicines and herbal supplies to the hospital and Doctor Watson's clinic, and I keep a stock of potions around for people interested. The natives buy curse protection amulets mostly.

As for the Arena, though, I only go rarely. Since Maya disappeared, I don't have as much reason to do so, and my style of fighting's not for arena floors. It's better suited for dark alleys.]

Do you possess any herbal teas as well? Ones that do not heal, but help an individual to simply relax. [He can't help wonder, so he can somehow help support Sam's shop. To drink tea at the moment does sound like something he should do. Soushi was not the type to sleep in peace whenever he is alone...]

Ah, then it is that kind of fighting. [Soushi is not too far off fighting dirty and dangerously neither. It must be a demon instinct they all seem to share.] Have you found anyone else to train with? If you do train, that is.

Chamomile mostly, but I've got a couple nice, relaxing mints as well.

As for my fighting, that's not something you really train. It's something you pick up along the way and keep up with exercise and practice.

If it is not too much to ask, may I request to keep a handful of Chamomile and mints for me? I will be heading out in a bit, and I would like to have a few with me.

[At the other's explanation, he will not point out the contradiction because he was just not in the mood to do so. He was not his master, so he could not be nitpicky as she is. Actually. He was not the type to do so.]

Yes, you are right. It is not a skill that can be taught, but learned throughout ones own journey. I do hope you will find someone to fight alongside you. At the moment, I am in need of finding someone with vast knowledge of guns to train with.

I'll have the tea out. Unfortunately, I can't help you much on the gun front. I know how to fire a pistol, but I used magic and claws mostly. I'm not sure what sorts of pistol fighters we have around here, but you should ask around.

Thank you kindly, Grey-san. I will follow your advice in searching for someone with knowledge over firearms, and head to your shop in a few moments to pick up the bags of tea, as well. [But first, he needs to get himself ready by bathing, changing his clothes, and other matters.

Such as:] Where is you store currently located in, Grey-san?

Loki district. Third road up from the castle, on the side near to Sigyn. You should be able to see the hospital in the next district from the shop's entrance.

I'll see you over here when you stop in. It's easy to find if you know where it is.

Yes. I, more or less, have a clear idea over the whereabouts of your store. Please allow me a half an hour or so to arrive, Grey-san. There are a few errands I wish to attend to beforehand. Nevertheless, I will be there soon.

How much will the tea bags cost?

A few coppers. It's tea, so don't worry too much about the cost one way or another. I'll see you soon.
