[The feed is horribly wobbly at first, the device obviously in motion in fumbling hands as it's set lengthwise against a surface, propped up. Tanjiro takes not-enough steps backward from it, leaving the video to be mostly awkwardly focused on his chin and shoulders. He has no frame of reference for how this works, let him live.]

I'm only about half sure I'm doing this right, but I really hope I am because I have something really important I have to share. I'm sorry-- for sharing it, because it's probably putting a lot of people in danger, but!! I'm Kamado Tanjiro, and I'm here to pass along a really unsettling message my friend received, and I hope you'll all pass it around and hopefully we can find a solution.

[He turns to look off screen for a moment, says something that's muddled by his facing the other direction, and then walks back to his own device with another one in his hand. He then proceeds to turn the other device toward the video of his own, showing a too-close view of what is ...still clearly a chain letter text message. He leaves it there a moment, as if expecting people to read it, before stepping back again.]

I don't know what it means, but if anyone has any details on this Bloody Mary, which I'm pretty sure is probably a demon, please let me know! You can also contact Hashibira Inosuke, this was sent to him first! I'll read it, too--

You are now cursed! You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now, because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeball out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What is your family going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put to scare you because you are wrong, so very wrong. Remember, Bloody Mary can do anything!

[He's still too close to the video feed to really be seen properly, but he's also taking this entire thing Far Too Seriously. His grip on Inosuke's phone, which is the most visible thing at this moment, is even white-knuckled.]

Everyone please be safe!!

[Someone please help this poor idiot country bumpkin. Or at least laugh at him.]

Oh, crap! Tanjiro! Are you okay? You better send this to a hundred more people just to be sure!

[he can barely say this with a straight face]

[zutsuki]

Wh-- Osomatsu-san!! You're the first person that's believed me, does that mean it's true after all?!

[Osomatsu you absolute shitlord.]

[immature]

[look, if you’re going to open yourself up to believe something like this, you’re asking for it]

Oh, it’s absolutely true. [a sniff as he crosses his arms] Bloody Mary’s famous for being a vengeful spirit. You’re lucky you’re still alive, Tacchan.

[zutsuki]

[He splutters a bit.]

Wh-- I mean someone sent it to Inosuke, so I'm mostly doing this for him, but, what'd we ever do to her?? Is she mad we've never heard of her?

[immature]

She’s looking for a husband, you know. She seeks out the souls of innocent men and then takes them for her own, leaving a path of dead men in her wake.

I'LL KILL HER!!!!
I WILL BE NO HUSBAND.
OR A DEAD PERSON.
OR A WAKE.

[immature]

[whoa. what the heck!?

sir are you aware you are a boar

Osomatsu actually falls back from shock]

honestly from one or both of their videos since they're in the same room gnfngmn

[zutsuki]

Inosuke! Don't just scare people like that!!

I'm sorry, Osomatsu-- this is my friend, Inosuke. He's the one who got the letter!!

[immature]

Wh...

Your friend is a talking wild pig?!

[that’s badass]

1/2

[zutsuki]

Ehhh? Oh-- no, no he just. It's a mask, he wears a mask.

[zutsuki]

But more importantly-- I don't know that you can call him innocent!! So maybe she's looking in the wrong place... And both of us are pretty good with swords, so she might want to rethink her aim! I've never killed a spirit before, can you even kill them?

[immature]

[he’s all wound up now!]

L-listen, you’re putting too much thought into this...

[zutsuki]

[Sometimes it be like that.]

If my friend and I are in danger of attack from a vengeful spirit, how is that too much thought?

[immature]

[........]

You’re really serious, aren’t you? You’re totally innocent!

[boarishness]

THAT'S RIGHT!! BE IN AWE OF INOSUKE-SAMA, MAGGOT!!
How do you know so much about Bloody Mami, huh? Are you an underling of hers? I'll wring your soul out of your body!

probably from offscreen tbh

[zutsuki]

Mary, Inosuke, Bloody Mary...

no

[boarishness]

BLOODY MAGI.
SHE WILL BE EVEN MORE BLOODIEST WHEN I AM DONE WITH HER.

[zutsuki]

MARY!

[boarishness]

POLO!!

[zutsuki]

That's even farther away!!

[immature]

[he seems... lost for a moment, just staring, listening to Tanjiro explain. a mask! then he finds his voice]

Wh-Who you calling a maggot, piggy?

[boarishness]

YOU, MAGGOT.

I don't need to waste my breath on someone who frabbermizes _{[ "fraternizes" ]} with demons. Tell me how you know about this vengeful demon and I might spare your life--!!

[immature]

[WOW]

I said she’s a spirit! Not a demon! Dumbass!

[boarishness]

SAME THING!!

[immature]

It's totally not the same thing! Demons are demons, spirits are spirits!
