[He's still not great at texting, so he had Gintoki give him some guidance on how to do some fancier technological things. He probably wouldn't remember how to do it again, but he manages a video broadcast that is hidden from one specific Lunatian resident-- Hashibira Inosuke. He's quiet at first, sitting with a silly grin on his face. He waves.]

I have a special announcement! It's my friend's birthday-- I'm sure at least some of you have met him. Hashibira Inosuke, the one that runs around without a shirt and wears a boar mask!

[He holds up a sign he's drawn crudely.]

I had someone teach me how to make this post so he can't see it, but it would mean a lot to me if you guys could wish him well today! He really likes food and fighting, so if anybody wants to wrestle a guy I can tell you where to find him. Be careful though, he takes fighting super seriously and is pretty strong! He'll mostly listen if you set rules though. I think. [He frowns.]

...if you find him and wanna fight, maybe tell me so I can make him listen, actually.

[Sometime in the day, Tanjiro seeks out said birthday boar. He's got two things in his hands, a little leaf-wrapped parcel of some kind and a larger square one wrapped in fabric. Wherever Inosuke may be and whatever he's doing, Tanjiro approaches with an absolutely stupid smile on his face, waving with the hand holding the smaller parcel.]

Inosuke! Hey, are you busy?

Mmn, you did quite well.

[ A man dressed as a ~~clown~~ magician literally applauds the young teenager's actions. His smile curls across his lips -- there is something beneath the smile, but overall, it is friendly. ]

I will most certainly wish him well today. Though, I wonder if he'll want us to call him "king" for his birthday. What do you think?

_{[ Tanjiro happens to come across Inosuke in the more rural parts of the planet where there are less people, so that's where he'll find him.. uhh.. rutting his head into a tree repeatedly.

Before Tanjiro even speaks, Inosuke pipes up and pushes his chest outward, his hands curling into fists. Someone is coming his way and he wants to be ready!!

Then, Tanjiro speaks. ]}

WHAT IS IT??

HUH?! BOAR BASTARD'S FRIENDS WITH YOU?!

Sure. I'll kill him for his birthday.

[He doesn't bother waiting to make sure Inosuke doesn't mind him coming up to him, just trotting right on up instead and holding out the smaller of the two parcels.]

Do you know what today is?

WEDNESDAY. IT'S WEDNESDAY.

[There's something about Hisoka that is a little unnerving, and Tanjiro can't quite put his finger on it, but he smiles broadly anyway. Knowing that Inosuke had a fondness for important titles likely meant he'd met him, so...]

He might just! But don't do it too much, he might expect it always.

You know, I'm sort of concerned about how interested in murder and killing you are? Please don't kill Inosuke, I'm kind of fond of him!

[He purses his lips. That's... true, and he smiles, prompting him to take the parcel again.]

It is! I'm proud of you for remembering that. But today's even more special than just a Wednesday. Here, take this.

I think just saying it once might end up being too much.

[ He chuckles. Lifting his hand up, he presses it against his chest as he introduces himself: ]

Hisoka. I've taken quite a liking to that boar. I'm glad that he's made some friends that can watch out for him. [ Since that means that Boar Boy won't be killed anytime soon, and it means Hisoka can wait until he gets strong enough to kill.

Though, he pauses as he looks over the young man he's talking to. Hm? It's a careful stare before he's back to smiling. No, there isn't any trace of bloodlust. Must be a dud. ]

[Not a one. Tanjiro is like the most mellow, non-bloodlusty teenager there is, probably. Though he does frown in pretty solid concern over Hisoka's... everything, really.]

I've known Inosuke a long time, longer than we've been here. I'll do more than watch out for him. [It's a careful statement-- not accusatory in any way, not specifically threatening or challenging, but still a clear claim. He won't judge Hisoka outright, not this quickly, but he has the sense to be wary.]

[Then again, a moment later he laughs, and any trace of wariness or hackles raised from before is completely gone.] And you're right, calling him King even once might make him too much to handle.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME, DAMMIT. I KNOW THE DAYS OF THE WEEK. MONDAY, TWOSDAY, WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THIRDDAY, FLIESDAY, SUNNYDAY. I'VE GOTTEN GOOD AT IT.

... Why are you giving me things? Are you noticing me as king? Someone worthy of presents?

[His eyebrows raise, wrinkling his scar oddly, and he laughs.] Close enough.

[He nods to the parcel, holding the other one with both his hands now.] Just open it, silly. [Whenever he does, he'll find the crude little drawing of his mask with "Happy Birthday Inosuke" written on it, and a handful of very shiny acorns. It's... akin to the seed parcel in Totoro, really. He has no idea why Inosuke likes acorns so much, but he always seems to get excited when they're shiny.]

He won't die if he's not weak!

Oh it's his birthday? Maybe I should treat him to a hot pot today... [she makes a face] even though I always have to pay whenever we get food.

[ Is that so?

There are some things that are difficult to tell through a video screen, that much is true. Yet he gives another once over of the young man. The claim is clear and the voice is equally pure. Hmmm. ]

Is that so? [ He says aloud. ] I'm pleased to hear it. I was worried Inosuke would be all alone by himself without anyone from his world, but... there are people already here. How wonderful.

[ Hisoka laughs in turn; it's bright and cheerful. ]

And since I only hang out with Inosuke every so often, I best not make things difficult for his other friends. So, I'll keep that to myself. [ A slight pause. ]

Hey, I wonder what would be a good present for that person. [ Hmmmm. ] You've probably already thought up lots of things.

Really? How interesting, perhaps I should treat him to a meal.

_{[ He drops his arms, looking confused. ]}

What?

_{[ But, then his hands lift and he takes the parcel. And.. it's acorns! His favorite! He practically sparkles. he screams, but there is excitement in it. What does he do with the acorns? We will never know. ]}

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, KENTAROUUUU!!! ACORNS!!!! KEEHAHAHAHA!!!

[What a strange man. In the same way Hisoka can't quite read Tanjiro through video, though, Tanjiro can't quite decide what to think of Hisoka, so he just makes a mental note to give him a good old sniffing in person sometime ~~that sounds so much creepier than it needs to oh my god~~. He echoes his laugh.]

Ah, well, Inosuke has a habit of making things difficult well enough on his own, so I appreciate not fueling his misbehavior.

[He ponders.] Well, like I said he does really like food, so I'm planning to cook for him. He's not a very material person, so I guess he's a little difficult to gift!

He's not, but that doesn't mean you should try to kill him...

[He laughs, the sound apologetic.]

I'll make up for that for him sometime, Miss Haru. Don't spoil him too much, though! He'll get complacent.

I'm sure he'd love it-- just don't spoil him too much.
