video | call out to the afterlife

[ Shino gets the camera rolling, and backs up, leaning forward and looking to where the light is, leaving him looking off camera. ]

The blinking light means it's on, right? [ He breathes out in a huff, straightening up and reaching for the table at his side. His fingers linger there, pressed against barely visible pieces of paper. ] Okay, so I don't know how to show pictures I've drawn except like this, and I have a few people that aren't here but might show up sometime, so if anyone sees them, I'd appreciate you letting me know.

[ He picks up the first, then shows each of them, one after another. ]


This is my little sister, Hamaji. And this is my older brother, Sousuke. They're the most important that I know about right away. Hamaji wears black dresses with lace and sturdy heeled shoes, and Sousuke is usually dressed like he's part of the church. You can find him in buttondown shirts, too, like this. [ He lets the drawings be lowered to show the white buttondown he's wearing. The pictures are set on the table, and he gathers up the next few. ] Then there might be one of these guys...


This is Kobungo, Genpachi, and Keno. They're the people who'd most likely want to find me. Genpachi might be in or out of military uniform? Kobungo is sometimes in his inn uniform. Keno always tends to dress traditionally.

[ These are set back on the table, his hand lingering on the surface. He looks to his last drawing, seems to frown, then picks it up to show the camera anyway. Once there, the dog is clearly given more depth to their eyes than literally any of the people, and that's... for reasons! ]


Then there's this guy, Rio Satomi, who'll probably be frowning and angry, because if I can't stand being here, he's going to hate it even more. I guess you could tell me if you see him, too.

[ All the pictures are now back on the table, and a crow, who had been off camera for most this, hops in camera and starts prodding at the drawings while Shino addresses the camera. ]

My name's Inuzuka Shino, and you can contact me on this weird phone if you see any of them in the future. Thanks!

[ He smiles, waving at the camera, as the crow picks up a drawing and attempts to fly away, over the camera, leading to Shino darting forward, hitting his comm, sending it flopped flat to film darkness as he calls out for Murasame to drop that, don't eat the drawing, you stupid bird, and then a fumbling click as the feed finally ends. ]

Mmm. I believe that, too.

[Very adopted. Though more than one person has heard that and given her a look that definitely implied they were imagining lewd things between horses and humans, so thank you, sir, for not...]

I hope so, anyway... It's still... really fresh for some people. I know I had it easy... I was too young to remember most of it, but. There are some people who still do... and I know scars don't heal that quickly, but.

[But she tries to smile through it the best she can. Tries to do her part to bridge the gaps.]

It's not like that for your friend, is it... ?

[Murasame, that is...]
lumberlady: (あわわわ)

[That way sounds pretty elegant enough to Konoha. It makes her expression soften a bit, nodding in agreement as her fingers lace together and squeeze.]

I- I think the same. I know it will take time, but... If we can just recognize the good in each other, what we can accomplish together...

[Maybe she won't see it, not when she was heading deep into the mountains with her new husband, a jinba who had been hurt deeply by wars and still found it somewhat difficult to trust humans... but who had at least learned not to hate them all for the sins of others of their kind. But... surely by the time their children are grown...

When the crow takes wing Konoha is a touch startled just by the sudden movement, following it with her eyes only to blink in surprise when it ends up landing on the comfortable leather perch of her work harness. What he says was sad, but...

She can't help but laugh a little at Shino's overreaction, trying to hide it with her hand.]


I've never had a demon on my back before... or a crow. He's fine.

[A new experience!]
lumberlady: (手伝う)

[personal profile] lumberlady 2019-09-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It's really not a problem.

[Konoha is quick to reassure, for a moment it's just them both waving their arms at each other, probably much to the amusement of anyone else in this park watching.]

Some jinba don't like it, but I carry my parents sometimes, it's not a big deal.

[Though she can certainly understand why others would be offended, when their kind had once been forced into being mounts for warlords and generals. But even if she was, this was a crow demon, not a human, so she's actually kind of curious, too, twisting about to watch Murasame preen.]

I know you're still looking for your other friends, but... It's good you have someone here with you.

[Even if they're not human shaped!]

Oh. I don't either, he's just pretty famous at the time I'm from.

[ Blinks. ]

I never asked you what you were from. I guess that makes a difference here.

it's one of my fave series to rewatch.... /// also sorry for late....work exploded and imploded rip

[personal profile] zazen 2019-09-17 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, so with this at least... we can only hope that your friends will contact you.

[The drawings may be....crude. But he is certain that at the very least Shino was able to get his point across.

He...almost startles at lack of honorifics. But he guesses not everyone would use them.

A friend and teammate of mine, his name is Doppo. He's sort of tall...shorter than me though. Red hair with blue streaks. Looks incredibly tired.

But what if he likes liver? Will you be so cruel and deny him some?
huaisang: (hold in these hands all that remains)

[personal profile] huaisang 2019-09-18 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
But does he like liver?
huaisang: (stuttering when you reply)

[personal profile] huaisang 2019-09-18 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
You shouldn't feed him fingers or lint balls! What are you doing?
lumberlady: (笑顔)

[personal profile] lumberlady 2019-09-18 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Konoha can nod for that. A personal decision... that’s right. One most definitely informed by whether a jinba had lived through the wars or not, but still.

Plus, it wasn’t like the crow was heavy. She’s used to hauling logs for work, so even a human or two isn’t much trouble.]


I know it’s really nice to have someone from your world around who can understand things you say without having to explain... so I’ll keep an eye out, okay?

[She smiles, hoping to be encouraging.]

And until then... you can talk to me whenever you want! I know it’s... I guess a different Japan and a few hundred years, but. It’s better than nothing, right?
huaisang: (stuttering when you reply)

[personal profile] huaisang 2019-09-18 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
You just said "Like he'd eat fingers or an interesting looking lint ball." How would you know that unless you fed that to him?

Poor baby!
huaisang: (stuttering when you reply)

[personal profile] huaisang 2019-09-18 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you calling him dumb? He's adorable! He probably has been fed all sorts of horrible things by you.

[ then, cooing at murasame: ] Isn't that right? Who is a good boy?

[She can't help but smile even wider to see the change in him, the bit of the clouds clearing from his expression. She didn't consider herself capable of anything that could actually help get them home from here, but...

This, at least...]


Yeah. We have that, so-

[She returns the bow, looking up with a small laugh and doing her best to fight past the instinctual way their words changed into the Prismal tongue to speak their native language.]

I'll be in your care!

It never occurred to me that it would make a difference. I mean, no one's from anything but 2016 where I'm from.
