fifth ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe you need to brush up your Chroma to buy a place in Amegahara and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

Toshirou Hijikata | Gintama | Sanguis

[mayoninofukucho]

Toshirou Hijikata, 27 (Sanguis)

Samurai looking for fellow Sanguis Moonblessed to spar with during the Sanguis and triple moon phases. Must be okay with smoking. Not looking for a romantic relationship, but not opposed to casual moonlacing. EDIT: THIS IS THE REAL PROFILE FOR TOSHIROU HIJIKATA. THE OTHER ONE ON PAGE 3 WAS MADE BY AN IMPOSTER. DO NOT ENGAGE.

[hoasen]

Oh! Hijikata's profile appeared again.

[mayoninofukucho]

Please ignore the other one! It's filth and lies and nothing more.

[He's going to KILL Sougo.]

[hoasen]

He must really enjoy pranking you for that to happen.

[Oh she has Heard Things, Hijikata.]

[mayoninofukucho]

He sure does. You'd think he'd find a new hobby in a whole different world, but no.

[hoasen]

Are they reasons why you are targetted?

[mayoninofukucho]

He just can't stand me.

[hoasen]

And now the both of you are in the same world. Do you know anyone else here?

[mayoninofukucho]

There are some more people from our world here, but all but one of them are morons. I met some nice people from different worlds, though.

[It's amazing how much more pleasant people can be outside of Gintama. That includes Vietnam, of course. He hasn't forgotten their talk during the starless nights and how he first learned of her kind. When he passed by her hologram at the charity ball he had half a mind to drive up her price as a small courtesy, but she was so popular that he was outbid right from the start.]

[hoasen]

Ah, at least you have someone who you like here who is from back home. I am glad you have found many who are nice, however. Likewise, I find you nice. I suppose that means this would make sense:

✓

[See, she thinks you're really nice? He even tried to raise her bidding! Besides, if she knew, she'd be happy to spend time with him regardless, it was nice when they spent it on the starless night. So she would like to get to know him better.]

[mayoninofukucho]

Thanks, Vietnam. I echo the sentiment.

[He gives her the same swipe in response. He's unsure what more he should write... is she were a Sanguis and wanted to spar with him she'd probably have said so already. As it is it's good to have their mutual sense of amiablility confirmed. She's been here longer than him - long enough to have made many friends, from all he can tell -, so she likely isn't in dire straits for chroma either, but when they next cross paths he'll be happy to spend more time with her.]

✓

[hoasen]

So we both swiped, no?

[She too is a Sanguis, and she would want to hang out with him! Even if it's a spar, or they try to calm themselves down during that time.

But really, if he wanted Chroma, she wouldn't mind either!]

I believe this means we must spend time together now.

[mayoninofukucho]

I'm sure there'll be an opportunity.

[Left to his own devices he honestly never does anything beyond train, study, and eat mayonnaise-covered food (and okay, sometimes he goes to the cinema or to the sauna), but he knows he can count on Prismatica to throw exciting events his way. Perhaps the next time there's a concert, festival, or some kind of show they can attend it together.]

I'm looking for a sparring partner, too. What styles do you specialise in?

[mayoninofukucho]

[Oh hey, that's a welcome message!]

Shinsengumi kenjutsu (based on tennen rishin-ryuu). You?

[It doesn't even occur to him that Kogami could probably work more easily with "sword"...]

[dissimilates]

[ the what -- it takes kogami a moment: ]

I'm more acquainted with hand to hand, unfortunately. Kick-boxing and silat. Some wrestling.

Although I've been looking to learn kenjutsu.

[mayoninofukucho]

That's not unfortunate at all! Recently I've been thinking about getting better at hand-to-hand combat, so maybe we can help each other out.

[He saw some network posts offering lessons, but didn't engage with them because he didn't see much promise in applying such measures against the beasts that threaten Prismatica and their minions. By now, though, he came to realise how frequently the attacks pitch citizens against their mind-controlled peers, so non-lethal ways of subduing them would be incredibly valuable in cases where moonlacing doesn't help - not to mentions the lower danger of seriously harming each other during Sanguis fights.]

I'm working on getting into the Moon Knights. If that works out we can probably use their doujou (or whatever they have) to get into some kenjutsu practice. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get my hands on practice swords before then.

[He's... kind of low on Chroma.]

[dissimilates]

Sounds good. If you need practice swords, I can get some.

[ it makes sense to train for sanguis fights, and he appreciates having someone to train with. ]

Working on getting into the moon knights, huh? I have a couple of friends who are in it.

[mayoninofukucho]

Being a cop is pretty much all I'm good at. Also it pisses me off to see shit like Port Sylvel happen.

[He barely knows Kogami and already he's comfortable talking naturally like this to him without trying to word things a little more politely...]

I look forward to working with your friends! I really want to get us in a position where we can be more proactive in fighting these beasts and zealots and whatnot. But I need to do more research for that. Anyway, let me know when you'd like to meet up! I'm still free for another month and a half or so before I (hopefully) get in.
