GENKI SILENT PROTAG. She'll probably strong-arm you into doing something ridiculous, and do so with the cutest smile on earth. She might also poke you with a naginata if you're a punk.
THE SASSY PROTAG. a phantom thief with a heart of gold. lives rebelliously and without regrets, though spends most of his time feigning a very unassuming persona. #nailedit
A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.
The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.
Listen, son, she's dealt with many a rebellious kid in her day. Or adult, honestly. Half the men she knows act like babies... Even if she is fond of them: they're babies. There're only like two guys she knows who she'd ever refer to as mature in any way.]
You may call it a chance encounter. But I have my doubts there is any reason for us to become further acquainted. Unless... you plan on being meddlesome.
[and somehow, he gets the feeling "meddlesome" is exactly what he's going to get here.
spirits tend to be that way, he's learned. either they don't care about helping at all, they're wreaking havoc...
or they're getting into messes that they don't have a place to.
[She's absolutely going to be his definition of meddlesome.
I mean, that's what she does. Just throws herself into things even when she doesn't have any business being involved. That protection complex is strong.]
Yes, and some of us are here with the explicit task of handling the matters of spirits and daemons that cause trouble. They are well-monitored and documented for a reason. Just as humans have their police forces and militaries to deal with threats...
We have our organizations as well. [he's a trained professional, okay.]
...Where I came from, even organisations like that had their faults. And we weren't so well-organised.
[SAMURAI TIMES. Everyone just did whatever.] At any rate, I don't think asking people who live here not to do anything will work. I mean, this is like our home.
A police officer would not ask a civilian to chase a criminal. The Ministry of Defense and the Bureau of the Occult will not ask civilians, human or spirit alike, to chase down rogue, problematic spirits.
It's as simple as that. [it's really not such a bad mentality. he does technically mean well by it, even if his approach is less than stellar.]
[Shino just lifts up her chin slightly, as though she's refusing to dignify it with an answer that might lend weight to Hijiri's points. Which are basically true.
Rather, she tenses, placing her hand on her sword hilt.]
[They're already off to a way better start than Shino and some of her other friends, think about that...
She slices through a brute, darting glances around and sorely longing for a fellow canine warrior. But, there's nothing that can be done about that. She does stick relatively close to the area Hijiri is in, just in case.

[GOING AHEAD AND IGNORING THE COMMENT.

I'm Shino Inuzuka.

though she's probably learning pretty quickly that he's really just a fussy baby.]
I don't recall asking for your name or any other manner of introduction. [fussy.
though even though he's being fussy and acting as if that's how it is.]
...Hijiri Sakuma. [fussy sakuma family brat.]
no subject
Hijiri. [Nod. It's time for super informal hour, starring Shino.] ...Well, I'll still say it's good to meet you.
[Despite his fussiness, he helped out! He's a pretty strong lil punk, and it's always good to have an ally.]

[obviously!? he knows she's not stupid enough to be unaware of what the word means. but isn't obvious that she's being that way? shino, pls!]

[She says while frowning over at him. Sorry, Hijiri, you've accidentally picked up (another) pain in the ass. A do-gooder to the extreme!]

Well, I do not need to be asked.
[She's doing it anyway. What a troublesome spirit.]

[says the needlessly difficult one, like the punk he is.]

[It's totally not needlessly okay it's Justice. Samurai justice.]

[samurai are too difficult, why are there so many samurai spirits!
(bc it's japan, hijiri.)]

I can't, [firmly. SELF-ASSURED.]

[he's not escaping to america, dammit! but that doesn't change that some spirits, especially samurai spirits, can be a real pain in the ass.]

...We will deal with this threat first, as I'm sure there is no swaying you from drawing your blade.

[She nods as if she approves of this... as if she's proud of him for having figured out what a noble samurai she is (????).]
no subject
[he's less thrilled, he's just getting the point, even though it's annoying!
but whatever, time to fight brutes, gotta kill em all.]
no subject
Not to worry she got this. No brutes gonna stand in their way, even if they have to fight through then ten or more times until they're all gone!]
no subject
a samurai, he is not.
(he still does not think this is the beginning of friendship either, but he's objectively wrong about that.)]

Won't do not to look out for him!!]
