[ ... as far as weird situations, getting stuck holding some guy's hand isn't the worst one he's in so far, since being stuck on a whole other world and unable to simply get back home is definitely, definitely worse.
still, he gives an experimental swing of their hands and stares down at their fingers which will twitch as he asks them too, but don't let go. he doesn't have a heavy grip or anything, so it's comfortable enough, even with the weird but comforting warmth of moonlacing that comes attached.
fine. this is fine. he breathes out in a heavy sigh, eyes narrowing a fraction as he lifts their joined hands. ]
Stuff like Murasame?
[ he can feel murasame perking up, though his tattoo—and hand—show no sign of it at present. ]
I don't really understand. It's not like he needs any special energy back home. Why does he need it here?
[ by he, he means "they," since they're the same body with the same tied life, but those are details not worth bringing up. ]
[While Ren would like some answers to that question himself, honestly he's not sure how the minutiae of it works here either. So he just has to shrug, holding their hands up a little as he does out of habit in making the motion.]
I'm not sure, but it seems to work like that for anyone who has anything above "normal" human ability back home...even if that power is normal for their world, I think. So if it's any kind of power you tap into that's stronger than what a human could do without anything fancy, it seems to burn through Chroma.
[He's definitely making it sound like he's experienced this more through other people than in his own right, since he doesn't tend to offer the fact that he has powers himself very easily. Though it's probably accurate to say that he's seen it happening with others more often than he's used his powers enough to run into it himself.]
[ He mimics the motion, but has to dig the same device out of his back pocket, where he'd stashed it after thinking of it as a weird phone and waited for answers from the phone-paper where he'd posted his looking for Sousuke and Hamaji ad. The seller smiles, does something with a weird device they hold up, then say thank you for his purchase.
He's utterly mystified by how that worked, and is examining his device with his free hand while Jean orders. ]
Probably, thanks. Do you get how this all works?
[ He looks up, bouncing his device up and down in his hand and giving JJ a furrowed brow, questioning look. ]
How can holding a phone let you pay for food? I get that this moonlacing stuff makes us money, even if I don't understand how, but why can the phone let them know how much we have to spend?
[ Coming from we have phones that have giant turn dials to use to futuristic wrist tablets is so far beyond his head still for all Urie had helped him understand how to post to a network with them.
Their food is along before too long, meaning any answers are bound to be interrupted as... servings of skewers and their sauces in tiny paper cups are laid out in stacks that will definitely require three hands, when JJ's are likewise accounted for. Cue Shino giving his a big eyed, I'm cute please help me with all my meat look, because yes, yes help him, tall ice skating man! ]
[ Despite anything he says - JJ only like halfway gets it, but - halfway seems to be more than enough to make up the rest of it. He'll learn it all as he goes. That's how this is going to work for him, after all. He'll get it, and once he does, he'll do it right. ]
Sure! It's not too hard.
[ He tilts his head. Oh. Well, regardless, he seems to at least understand this more than the other, so he's happy to help. ]
It's digital. That...thing, is unique to you. So when you scan yours, it's like - it realizes that you're using your money, or when I scan mine, it's like me using my money.
[ He hopes that makes sense. And, he's watching, the stacks of food pile up, because - well, he had ordered a lot, and JJ had ordered plenty himself, as well. He just smiles, and moves to start picking up as much food as he possibly can. Shino probably could have gotten away without prompting him, because he realizes how much there is. ]
I got it.
[ At least it looks like - most of it. ]
Maybe we should sit down somewhere.
[ He would need to set some of this down to eat. ]
[ look they're totally modern teens (... shino is more like a turn of the century teen but hush), exchanging all their information like pros!
as it is... he has no idea who's contacting him, and given he's not usually the one anyone's contacting, he blinks and replies before finishing his thought of who is this? obviously someone who knows him, therefore: a perfectly fine person.
well, unless it's bakura. then it's highly debatable.
regardless, here comes a fairly honest and direct answer, since pretending otherwise is not his forte when loss is something anyone here can understand. or more, loneliness. yeah! that one! it's not unique to him, therefore it's not something to hold quiet, hold close. ]
Been better since healing after the moon nonsense. Kind of sucks since my roommate got sent home however that works, and Murasame is terrible for conversations, so I've been avoiding being at home when I don't have to be.
[ Love Until You Drop. what sort of event was that? nie huaisang doesn't like it in the slightest when he first hears of it, it sounds almost like a trap or a bad joke. but curiosity does get the better of him so he ends up going anyway fully trusting that if required someone like his newly adopted big brother and friends can bail him out.
and honestly, doing this is a better decision than having gone to the creepy teashop earlier this month but that is neither here nor there. no one can prove anything! he doesn't know anything at all. ]
[ two people firmly ignore decisions related to doll investigations, are left now standing as part of this very bizarre contest. shino looks sideways up at nie huaisang, not so much considering his question as a very specific application of said question. ]
Murasame's not manifesting so you can hug him for the next two days.
[ said without missing a beat. is he being earnest? is he messing around? good question.
meantime, he looks back to where a few people are laughing and discussing the requirements, reaching up to scratch his head. ]
[delivered by courier on the morning of the Lunatian Firialia is a simply wrapped package, accompanied by a carefully copied message in a child-like hand.
FIRIALIA well wishes with much thanks this year! wish please enjoy!
- KONOHA
inside the package: fresh, handmade mame daifuku to eat]
[ For the New Year, Shino will find two nicely wrapped gifts set aside for him, along with a note. The first, bigger gift turns out to be a tin of cookies, while the smaller box on top of it has a little charm made of red cord - it's a good luck knot! - with a fluffy tassel at the end. Is that a little cliche? Yes. But they made one of these together when they met, so the thought also amused Shi Qingxuan enough to make him a charm.
Then, the note says: ]
Your real gift is me. ♥
I'll come make you dinner tomorrow! I hope you'll have me!
[ ...No, it's not signed. He didn't think to sign it... ]
[ ... who is this even from... the good luck knot reminds him of the few people he held hands with but... no! No, wait! Duh! Shi Qingxuan! His was the only fancy knot that day! Man, he'd almost forgotten... no, he absolutely had. His memory is hit and miss depending on he moment and subject at hand.
... Wait, how is, what, the real gift is me? He snorts, shaking his head, but finds himself smiling a little too. Talk about arrogant. Maybe if he'd lived seven hundred plus years, he'd be as easily arrogant too. Maybe not.
Either way, he'll look forward to seeing him tomorrow... a bright spot to carry him through the day and night and day until then. ]
[ There is a wraith butterfly next to Shino. It is delicate and translucent, glowing with silvery light--
And then suddenly there is a small storm of them, twirling in the middle of the room until they coalesce into the shape of tall man--
Well. Ghost.
Hua Cheng's lips are thinned, and for once - for almost the first time since he has arrived in this world - there is an aura of menace around him, heavy and overbearing and unflinching. He doesn't step close to threaten. Instead, his voice is low, icy. ]
[ It's not a problem, per say, to show up unannounced with an overbearing menacing aura. It's just not a great idea to do when Murasame registers threats based on such things, meaning by the time that storm of butterflies is forming into the menacing figure of Hua Cheng, the usually unassuming crow has in a blink gone from his usual, acting like a crow size to elephantine, filling the crowded open area next to Shino's bed. Massive wings curl protectively to each side of Shino, and eyes which normally show deep, fathomless black are now bright, glittering crimson. He opens his beak to issue a cawing roar, feathers all but swirling past the both of them, and then...
Shino reaches back and up to press the back of his hand against Murasame's massive, feathery chest. Surprise gives way quickly enough to reassurance for his other half and personal demon; he doesn't inherently know why Hua Cheng has showed up in a fit, but he can make guesses, even without knowing Xie Lian is taking time processing by keeping to his room.
He's not so good tempered as to enjoy being surrounded by two angry demons, which more or less explains the following: ]
Murasame, calm down. Hua Cheng, do you want tea? Because you're going to have to explain. Showing up suddenly saying cryptic things doesn't help anyone!
[ It's obvious Shino is a bit angry now too when he hadn't been before, but that much anger around him and the fact he's holding Murasame off from attacking someone he cares about who showed up in exactly the wrong way is part of it. He's no saint! Hua Cheng, couldn't you have freaking called before coming over?! A low angry and distressed is more than understandable on Shino's end! ]
[ Where did Shi Qingxuan come from? Well, she's here now, coming up beside him and interlocking their fingers before anything else. ]
If you end up winning three dates with me, you'll have one with me like this, one with me like that, and then one more—so, what form should I be in for the last one? Should I surprise you? Or maybe you can surprise me?
[ By reflex, his fingers thread with hers and he leans into her, just enough to make his shoulder rest against her upper arm. ]
Make it a surprise when the moons go crazy.
[ He flashes her a smile right after, all tease and glinting good humour in his eyes. As it is, this whole scene isn't quite to his taste, but the heart and reason for it is why he's not opposed to being here or placing bids. Not that he'd fail doing that for friends anyway, but still. ]
[ there's a light sort of laugh in return; Shino grins on his side of the comm. ]
Not like I'll say no—who doesn't like tea or snacks? Anyway, it was good of you to go along with it on Konoha's request and all. The whole thing was a bit weird, but... not bad.
[ enough do not, but Shino, oh, he loves both. for nostalgia and a hunger he very rarely finds abates. ]
[ She's been bought before, but never bid on. It's an interesting feeling, knowing that someone cares about you enough to donate to charity on your behalf. ]
Shino! Are you just looking for an excuse to play with my tail?
[ He blinks, then grins, shaking his head and holding up his (presently empty) hands. ]
Hey, do I look like that kind of person? If that's what I was after, I'd ask you politely first.
[ He has no tail, which is about his usual if he's not going full on deer-centaur. This triple is back to being low key for him, his skin reactive to touch in a lingering show of small dots of bioluminescence, but nothing else overt. ]
Plus, who doesn't want to spend time with their friends? Fluffy tails or not.
[ Definitely smiling, and he means it as a compliment—all things considered, her tail is appreciably fluffy, right?—though it all comes out a bit silly and teasing. He lowers his hands, still smiling. ]
Did you volunteer for this on your own, or did a friend bring you into it?
[What's this? There's noises coming from that dumpster over there!
And if Shino is curious enough to look, he'll find....a raccoon! Which has dug itself a little pit of trash from within this heap of trash, scrabbling a bit more before it digs up a moldy onion bagel and takes a nice big bite out of it.
The raccoon is wearing a familiar-looking strip of white silk around its neck, which may possibly be the cleanest thing there, actually.]
[ It's not even Shino who looks first: it's Murasame, flapping his way over and alighting on the edge of the dumpster. He stares inside... then dives in, ready to fight for that moldy onion bagel.
Which is why Shino is suddenly flying over the edge and calling out, ]
Murasame! No!
[ Before he's seeing a raccoon wearing Ruoye and his demonic worse half attempting to wrest a bagel from his tiny black furry hands. Instead, they're both getting Shino going: ]
[ Is it a delivery if it's just left on Shino's bed while he and Xie Lian are at work? Sure it is!
There's a small, shiny present left on Shino's bed with a little, handwritten card propped up against it. The card reads: ]
To Shino.
I bought you a pet!
You like animals, and this one should have no problem sticking right by your side. You just need to share your chroma with the ball to summon it, and then share a little more now and then to keep it healthy. I was promised that nothing bad will happen if the creature if you don't, but you have plenty of chroma to share, don't you? Anyway, if you forget, it will just return to its sphere to rest until you share your chroma again.
I look forward to seeing your new pet when you summon it. Please send a picture.
Yours, Qingxuan
[ And inside the parcel is...a Mesik Sphere! The crystal sphere shimmers with different shades of violet when held to the light, and the ball itself fits neatly in the palm of the hand.
So. Hug it a little and get yourself a familiar, Shino. ]
[ this is... touching. incredibly so. he's still not sure how well qingxuan understands the reality of animals avoiding him, or how much hinges on their trust and faith in their caretakers, but this, this wasn't something he needed to do.
he'd done it anyway.
shino stares at the sphere, cradling it in his hand.
the creature, all awkward angles and overlarge eyes, is clearly young, and next to them on the bed in the blanket they've nestled inside is a written note, which reads: ]

smile for the camera, or maybe just the food
why not both, both is good
this just reminds me of the dumb SMILES VS FOOD argument that was in another ccg anime
... dare i even ask what this argument was/what that means
it was basically about which is more important to people who are downtrodden, it was very silly
klajsdflkjasdf oh goodness, it sounds like it
