video ☠️

[coasts]

[ The Sanguis moon is out and Samatoki's wolf features have manifested yet again. His white hair is bushy and messy, but it's still easy to spot the white pointy ears peeking out atop his head. His tail, from the video, isn't that easy to spot, but it's wagging slowly from left to right, then right to left.

The video is held up at a selfie angle, and metal bars can be seen behind him. Is he in a... cell? And is he chilling on the floor? Yeah. ]

Hey, chicks and dicks of Lunatia. Name's Samatoki, and this is one of the holding cells in the city. How'd I get here? [ He chuckles. Somehow, he seems proud of being arrested?!?!? ] Some shits were bein' creeps to some people at a bar so I stepped in and got into a fight. The rest're in another cell, so it's just me here with no one to talk to. The cops said I could moonlace with 'em if I wanna pay bail. Shit, not even a dumbass would do that.

You'd think people'd let you go after destroyin' a hugeass window 'cause you saved a buncha lives, but I guess that's just not how society works. [ Why is he talking about society now ] The shitty Moon Knights said bail's 300 Chroma. I ain't got that much, but it's not a big deal. I got... 9 more hours 'til they release me.

Was goin' through the app store 'cause I got nothin' else to do and downloaded this rhythm game called Boom Fantasy. Said it's the number one app and all. Took a while for the game to patch but when it finally did, I played through the tutorial and got 4-star and some 3-stars. Guess my luck ain't so bad, and that makes up for gettin' cuffed and endin' up here.

[ He's so bored!!! There's a moment of silence where he just shows the rest of the cell. It's empty except for the one magazine on the floor. Samatoki's been laying on the floor for some time until he decided to make this post. ]

Anyone else play this shit? I get 5 gems if I make 3 new friends.

No one would look down on you if you allowed someone to bail you out.

[ Well, probably not, it was a fleeting thought that would only be noticeable if you paid attention to his own ears atop his head; tips flicking just a little as he tilted his head. Rather than fur, though, they were covered in almost pearlescent scales. ]

I wouldn't mind helping you, if necessary.

[ Even if they weren't in a group together, Samatoki was still someone he needed to watch over; though he couldn't quite put a finger on why it felt so necessary right now. ]

[ . . . Samatoki makes a face at that. He's pretty sure Jakurai hasn't been here that long. ]

You been moonlacin' lots or somethin'?

[tensei]

[ There was a shrug from the man as he offered a gentle smile. ]

Enough, I suppose, there were plenty of people in need of assistance when I arrived; I've got plenty to spare for the time being.

[ A pause. ]

So I wouldn't call it moonlacing for pleasure, but more out of necessity.

Yeah, well, you could probably use your money on somethin' better.

[ He does appreciate the gesture, though. Maybe next time, he'd actually ask for help. Like if he's stuck in the slammer because of one (1) Ichiro Yamada. ]

[tensei]

Such as?

[ Seriously, Samatoki, WHAT IS HE GOING TO SPEND HIS MONEY ON??? ]

[coasts]

Medical... supplies...?

[ He literally changes his tone to a question towards the end. Please help him. ]

I've found there isn't much need for them here, but I think you're already aware of that much. Though, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have something on hand, just in case.

[ There was a laugh from the man. ]

You never know when you might run into someone that isn't open to the power of healing through touch.

[ He says it such nonchalance, as if it's nothing to touch a complete stranger to heal them. ]
