TRAVEL LOG #4
TRAVEL LOG #4
βΆ 001. RECENT REPORTS.
The week leading into the new month is characterized by the distinct shift in weather patterns across Japan. Within Neo Tokyo, heavy rainfall with low level flooding is disrupting the business and commute of the local people. Even more temperate regions around Okinawa, and the small outer islands, will find themselves with an influx of tropical storms. Northern regions such as Hokkaido will find that some of the snow will have melted down, and the sun is running hot for the season. These strange occurrences seem to have the research team running on overtime, seeing if this has any link or correlation to any kaiju and the rifts.
To make matters worse, the Imugi hatchlings have begun to exhibit strange behaviors they never have before. While the hatchlings did seem to gain stability over the past month, now they are showing signs of extreme distress. They seem more on edge, enough to the point where entry to visit them has been appropriately blocked off until they find the source of their stress. The researchers have found in recent days that this seems to directly correlate to the weather, and what they see as rift energy in various parts of Japan. Over the week they narrow down these rifts to two specific locations which have a high chance of being the source -- Kagoshima and Yamanashi.
LILITH believes this is deeply connected to patterns that they've seen in records from South Korea, before their connections were severed due to the battle that took place last year. As a result, LILITH's Japan branch is doing their best to see if they're able to work with the tensions of the past in order to receive further research and information from the new government that rose from the destruction of Seoul, and is presently in Busan. While efforts to rebuild a branch there are progressing, they are reluctant to offer anything outside of the bare minimum or what is readily known to the public.
In light of these events, Outsiders are told to prepare for their leave soon. Unlike the sudden blare of their alarm, they offer the Outsiders time to begin preparing for the next mission. They will be given an additional stipend that amounts to 200 USD to be spent on supplies, or other personal resources necessary. Outsiders are encouraged to group up however they would like and go on a shopping spree to places such as FamilyMart, 7-Eleven and Don Quijote. Remember, only buy what you absolutely need!! (Or don't. It's not like LILITH is gonna be monitoring that.)

βΆ 002. DATA COLLECTION.
After much back and forth, the branch in Busan does provide limited reports on their tracking of the Imugi's movements, both prior and after the catastrophe in Seoul. Per their reports, they are able to come to several conclusions in regards to the Imugi.
The Imugi that had escaped has further evolved, and even from the point in which it appeared in South Korea, has evolved to be even stronger than before. This Imugi is able to adapt to any weather condition, and even retains some control over the environment. The Imugi possesses intellect which seems to surpass many of the kaiju they have encountered in the past. The Imugi is able to use the rifts as a means of travel. Unlike some kaiju which appear from the rifts almost arbitrarily, the Imugi seems to have full control over its ability to travel within them, which makes it effective at evading most tracking methods. In addition, after further studies, it was found that the Imugi is able to inflict severe Rift poisoning due to its connection with the rifts. They state that while Seoul was physically devastated, most of the casualties were from the rift poisoning which took place after.
With the reports they receive, they also find that the two locations in Japan exhibited similar flows of rift energy, and are most likely to be in connection with the kaiju. As there are two locations in which have to be physically monitored, the Outsiders will once more need to be split up into teams. Everlight and Revelation will be sent to Yamanashi, while Brimstone and Redemption will be sent to Kagoshima. With this confirmation, it's highly likely that the female Imugi has returned.
Within those groups, LILITH will ask for those with experience with the Imugi to handle briefing others in their team who are not as familiar. As the Imugi does possess a variety of skills, Outsiders will also be asked to stick with those from an opposing team as a safety precautio as they believe each team member should be able to supplement for another. In addition, these teams are asked to stick together even prior to leaving the base in order to increase their ability to work as a team for the duration of the mission. While the travel time to each place is relatively short, videos on teamwork and strategy will be played and cannot be muted or turned off. Here is a recap of the Imugi from last year's debrief sheet with some extra information:
Once each group arrives, they are expected to explore each region and gather whatever data they can.

While the travel time to each place is relatively short, videos on teamwork and strategy will be played and cannot be muted or turned off. Here is a recap of the Imugi from last year's debrief sheet with some extra information:
β β β MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: IMUGI β
HEIGHT: 1000 feet across, 30 feet high
WEIGHT: 2000kg
CLASS: Extremely Dangerous
LOCATION: ???, Japan
ABILITIES: Control over weather conditions, including summoning of heavy storms, lightning strikes and hurricanes. Can fly up to 1000 feet. By flying amongst the clouds, Imugi releases chemicals into the atmosphere that bring about acid rain. Armored scales, sharp teeth and claws.
WEAKNESSES: Piercing it in the gaps between its impenetrable scales. There is also a particularly weak spot under on it's neck that will deal significant damage if pierced.
EXTRA NOTES: From its initial appearance and behavior, specialists believe that this female Imugi confirmed to be the mother of the hatchlings. This appears to be the female counterpart to the kaiju in Seoul that was killed by the Outsiders after causing havoc on South Korea. Despite them both being the same type of kaiju, likely derived from the same rift, this kaiju seems slightly more agile and openly aggressive.
Once each group arrives, they are expected to explore each region and gather whatever data they can.
βΆ 003. KAGOSHIMA.
Reports continue to come in from the various outposts and remaining settlements around Kagoshima. There are constant tremors in the area and some of them manifest as full blown earthquakes that can be felt across other parts of the country and trigger tsunamis along the coast. While the region is no longer as populated as it once was, there are pockets of unfortunate civilians taking refuge in abandoned houses who will need to be rescued and evacuated (some may put up resistance). As these are typical signs of an imminent kaiju attack, the area is on high alert.
Ominously, the Kagoshima Bay area seems is exhibiting strange occurrences of dead and mutated fish washing up on the shore and any other animals in the area meet the same fate. These animals have extra limbs or organs, mysterious burns on their flesh, and have grown in size. Some animals have survived but they have mutated into unstable kaiju hybrids. They aren't very strong and don't live for very long but before they die, they become extremely violent.
LILITH researchers who try to investigate eventually become extremely ill and it has hindered their progress. They experience typical symptoms of Rift poisoning (headache, nausea, impulsive behavior, hallucinations) but also burning of the eyes, skin, and lungs. Before onset, they report spelling something foul in the air.
While getting close to the bay is difficult, it's easy to see that something is wrong. Aside from the loss of life, the water in the bay appears more polluted and smells rotten. The famous Sakurajima Island at the center of the bay has always been active but now it lets out unusual multi-coloured smoke. The clouds carry volcanic ash that completely covers large areas making it difficult to move and hard to breathe. The volcano constantly erupts and wind carries shards of cooled magma slivers. The shards cut skin, sting eyes, and can cause serious internal damage if breathed in.
The waves are too dangerous and flight conditions are poor so it is difficult to approach. However, the constant lava flows over the years have created a bridge on the other side of the bay called Ohsumi. Despite the high risks and plentiful unknown factors, Outsiders are tasked with investigating the area around Kagoshima Bay and reaching Sakurajima by this bridge.
Be careful of the toxic gases in the air, Rift poisoning, earthquakes, kaiju hybrids, and volcanic shards. Outsiders are strongly urged to keep their suits on. Outsiders will be flown near to the area via aircraft, and proceed the rest of the way using camper vehicles to reach Ohsumi and find out what kaiju threat is approaching. (Camper vehicles sit 4-5 people each and Seok Dang has kindly programmed his questionable pre-recorded driving lessons into each vehicle.)

βΆ 004. YAMANASHI.
Closer to home, the residents of Neo Tokyo can sense that something is happening outside the city. The sky is clearer in the winter months, allowing everyone to see Mt. Fuji in the distance. From the city, everyone can see that dark clouds have gathered around Mt. Fuji. There is widespread panic that Fuji may be preparing to erupt but despite the perceived activity, there have been no tremors. Meteorologists report that this is purely an atmospheric phenomenon.
Clouds spread every day and begin to affect Neo Tokyo. Weather patterns become unpredictable and extreme. Heavy rains flood lower parts of the city one moment and then turn to a mix of snow and ice the next. The temperature drops dramatically and suddenly spikes to warmer weather at other times. Strong winds cause serious damage to buildings and there are reports of tornados touching down in the outskirts. These worsening conditions not only put a significant strain on the local businesses, but there are reports of these strong winds blowing away children and the frail elderly, and flash floods drowning those unable to escape in time. This entire time, Mt. Fuji flashes as lightning repeatedly strikes it. Given the mountain's significance to the people, they worry that this might be some sort of sign that something terrible is coming. In a panic, people begin to stock up on emergency supplies. They buy out stores, hoard goods, and stick closer to the entrances for underground shelters. Some even resort to crime, looting the evacuated apartments or stealing supplies from other people.
While Outsiders may be asked by other authorities to help keep peace in the city, LILITH's priority is investigating Mt. Fuji. They will be sent to Yamanashi prefecture by camper vehicles. (They sit 4-5 people each and Seok Dang has kindly programmed his questionable pre-recorded driving lessons into each vehicle.) It takes about 6 hours to arrive in Yamanashi due to the destruction and weather. It won't be a smooth ride, either. The weather continues to storm, with heavy winds knocking over trees to block their paths, the rain triggering landslides, and lightning strikes that keep conveniently striking wherever they are. On top of that, the rift-affected animals found a month prior have further mutated. The local fauna have grown in size and viciousness, and they make the trip there treacherous. Outsiders may encounter mutated boars slamming into their camper vehicles, or oversized, snarling monkeys trying to captured people and swoop them away. Find a safe and secluded area to park and help out any citizens who may need help.

βΆ 005. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our fourth travel log!
There are no assigned seats this time, so characters may travel with whoever they choose or assume that LILITH has assigned you. All camper vans come with a driving instruction program installed. You can find more information about these vehicles here. It is highly encouraged to stay within your assigned team mission, but in the chaos LILITH is not going to enforce a relocation if somebody ends up where they aren't supposed to be. Communications remain open across all teams but might be a bit spotty in the weather conditions.
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards February AC.

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. RECENT REPORTS: The weather across Japan has become unpredictable. The Imugi hatchlings have become very distressed and LILITH is temporarily restricting access to them. LILITH is reaching out to their sister base in South Korea to find out whatever information they can.
2. DATA COLLECTION: LILITH South Korea provides some information regarding the Imugi. We find out that is has become stronger than before. It has evolved and is now able to control not only the weather, but rift travel. It can also inflict severe rift poisoning. Outsider and split into two teams to explore two key locations: Kagoshima and Yamanashi.
3. KAGOSHIMA: Brimstone and Redemption are being sent here via campervan. There are reports of earthquakes, dead/mutated animals along with signs of severe rift poisoning in researchers. The volcano in Sakurajima island is emitted toxic, multi-coloured smoke. Outsiders must cross the bridge to get closer but beware rift poisoning, earthquakes and kaiju hybrids.
4. YAMANASHI: Everlight and Revelation are being sent here. Neo Tokyo is experiencing worsening weather conditions such as floods, unusual snowfall and tornadoes, which is causing a panic amongst the people. Outsiders have to take a campervan to travel toward Mt. Fuji but they may be faced with extreme weather conditions (such as lightning) and kaiju hybrid attacks.
no subject
It's not even that he distrusts Kaga and Akagi, but having to part from Hiyori so soon after getting engaged was just too much for him to handle. He's feeling overly protective towards his wife-to-be since this will be her first front line mission. He doesn't fully trust anyone but himself to keep her safe. And even then he's still worried.
But right now he's just happy to be in her arms, and it shines through in his face.]
Hehe~ I thought you might be. That's why I came along! Consider me your carry on luggage~β [That everyone can see what they're doing naturally doesn't bother him one iota, as is proven by him kissing her cheek before she's putting some space between them to his disappointment.]
Bah! What're they gonna do, send me to my room? It'll be fine, Hiyori! They need me, right? Besides, I'm still gonna help fight. It'll just be with you guys.
no subject
that's yato for you. she can't be mad at him or even find it within herself to push him away as he nuzzles and kisses her cheek. only flushing a deeper red and touching the spot absently while cursing her own transparency sometimes. ring doesn't help but she's loathe to ever take it off after
after october. ]
That explains why you shoved yourself in a bag. You had that argument ready.
[ THIS MIGHT GIVE THEM MORE REASON TO SEPARATE THEM. along with investigating them constantly being in each other's rooms at night!! UGH.
as long as they don't get CAUGHT, though. that's ONE piece of her inundation of guilt not bothering her so much. everything else is, though.
not send him to his room so much as send him home for disobeying orders. ruining...
ruining everything. everything hiyori is so desperate to hold onto. it's like their roles have swapped. she's the one clinging to yato while he's always the one to save her. their saving grace is he's right about the last few points. they need him and that's why he's here. he'll help fight.
it'll just be as a temporary redemption/brimstone. ]
... Your plugsuit color makes you stick out like a sore thumb, though. Everyone else is purple or red. What are you going to do about that?
[ she prods the golden center. ]
no subject
Maybe it's because of Brasov that he's still hesitant to let her go places without him, as if he might be able to keep her safe from any further dangers despite his powerlessness back then. Right now, though, he's all smiles and sunshine as he lets her go.]
Always come prepared, that's what I say! And what could be better than a god in your pocket?
[Pocketgami. If only he could shrink down and follow her everywhere... That would be ideal in his eyes. Although it probably would get them into even more trouble than just a one-time shirking of orders. Why they were placed onto separate teams, he'll never know or understand, but he kinda hates it sometimes.
He doubts his punishment would be as great as being sent home. Banned from certain things, yes, maybe. But not entirely dismissed. He does add to their forces, that much he knows. It's not like he's going against them, merely following a different flow than those on his team. It'll be fine. He's sure of it.
Mostly.]
Hehe... Watch this--! [He reaches into the luggage from which he emerged and pulls out... a bunch of markers.] I'll just color myself red! Easy peasy!
[This is one of his dumber ideas, huh.]
no subject
no matter what the reasons and no matter what happens, right now?
she's glad to see him. with her own eyes, she can see that he's okay. ]
I don't know if I've ever heard you say that. [ a smile threatens her seeing he's so happy and yato's regular blithe attitude when something serious is going on. there are some things he's matured over, some things he hasn't. at all.
as long as he is who he wants to be, hiyori's fine with any of it. because it's him.
she's with him on being on separate teams being a bit frustrating... as much as she likes the teammates she has in redemption.
leaning closer, she watches with confusion as he pulls something out of the bag. it takes a second.
markers. HE IS PREPARED?! ]
Re - ?! You stuffed yourself in a luggage bag to follow me and you won't even pick my team?!
[ this is
so not the issue.
they're both dumb. ]
no subject
...maybe.
They continue to be just as concerned with each other as ever, though. Nothing's changed there and likely never will.]
Eh, just roll with it. [Meaning yeah, he's never said such a thing before. Doesn't stop him from pretending he has. Making it up as he goes along is his forte after all. It's gotten him through life to this point, right?
Even if he's not quite to the point he wants to be - he wants to be a better version of himself, always. For not just Hiyori, but himself, too.
That's not happening today, though. Not when he's being this ridiculous.
Flashing her a grin and wielding the markers like throwing knives, he then balks at her incredulous response.]
It's not that! The yellow will clash with purple but blend in with red! It's color theory!
[They are
they are dummies.]
1/2
there's a point there, however. they've matured in little and big ways. hiyori will always call yato out on his crap, though. ALWAYS. she huffs but lets the "prepared" thing go. that's not worth a fight.
and they will always care about each other. bettering themselves or going out of their way for one another. with mini shrines and capyper land tickets.
or bickering anyway. ]
I don't know what that is!
[ MR. ARTIST EXPLAIN or don't because hiyori is taking the purple marker out of his hands and popping off the cap. it bounces off somewhere. she doesn't know why she's so adamant about him joining her team. don't ask her why. SHE JUST IS and shoving yato onto his back so she can MAKE THE ATTEMPT to make his yellow orb into purple.
anybody who knows how color works can predict how this will go. ]
Just lay still! I'll do it.
[ scribble scribble scribble ]
no subject
It's turning brown.
no subject
Her calling him out on his bullshit is fair, though. Payback for him messing with her so often. And it keeps him in line.
Bickering just another part of their love language, really. A way to show they care and love each other despite their differences. Fun banter helps build stronger bonds in his eyes.]
Didn't you study in school? Geez... That's--
[What that is, he doesn't get the chance to say before he's being unceremoniously shoved onto his back so she can assault him with the marker. Not the one he chose, though, but the purple one.
He tries to explain in a rush, but it's too late-- she's already scribbling on him like a damn coloring book. And it goes about as well as he thought it would. HE'S TURNING TO SHIT!!]
I tried to tell you that the colors wouldn't mesh, dammit! Now what team am I supposed to be on, Team Poop?!
[THIS IS JUST LIKE WHEN HIS KING EMBLEM GOT TURNED INTO A TURD THANKS TO YUKINE TATTLING ON HIM!!
Exasperated, he snatches the marker from her and-- uses it to give her kitty whiskers on her face.]
There! Now we're even!
1/3
this is what she meant when she told him she wasn't always going to be happy. neither is he, obviously, because she made his orb into a POOP ORB.
TEAM POOP.
also, duh, she studied in school. her brain is just full of more MEDICAL THEORIES and not color ones?! ]
Um. Sorr -
[ that apology never makes it past her lips with yato drawing on her face. she's too shocked to do anything but hover above him as he does it TOO FAST for her to react. or stop him. or anybody else to stop him. ]
no subject
no subject
bickering. ]
YATO. DON'T DRAW ON MY FACE. What if this doesn't come off?! I don't know what kind of markers you got!! What did you DRAW?!
[ #almostmarriedlife ]
i love them your honor
Striped snow undies...He's starting to understand what she meant by that, especially NOW THAT HE'S SPORTING A POORB. A POOP ORB.
And he's gonna fill her head with something else at this rate--]
Tch...!
[Decidedly proud of his handiwork, he flops back onto the floor with a smug smirk as she takes hold of his wrists and stops him from furthering his masterpiece. Pity, too, because he was going to draw a heart to go with it.]
Hah! I just made you into my little kitten~ And don't worry, they're washable!
[................]
I think.
[YATO]
ME TOO WTF
fill her head with what ]
YOU THINK?!!
[ had hiyori still had her half-ayakashi tail, you'd better BELIEVE that thing would be bristled and puffed out. as it is, her face has gone a bit pale.
enjoy the entertainment, fellow camper riders. ]
Now you're in for it. Good luck preparing yourself for this.
[ she's taking the red marker from where it fell beside them, pulling the cap off with her teeth, and pinning both his wrists down in one hand. ]
I'm drawing on you like Kazuma-san did with Yukine-kun.
[ which means.
mustache first. a little swirly one. ]
THEY'RE SUCH DUMMIES
KNOWLEDGE!!]
Ehehe...
[Had she her tail, he'd probably be messing with it, too, cuz he's a little shit like that. He's still a little shit, teasing her like this.
Although clearly she's getting her revenge right now.]
Huh? H-Hey, wait a minute, Hiyori...! D-Don't be hasty now--!
[He squirms rather helplessly in her grasp, though it becomes more violent when she explains what form of torture she has in mind for him.]
Noooooo--! Anything but that...!
[Too late. He's now sporting a curlicue mustache, much to his horror and chagrin.]
LET THEM BE STUPID
it was that yato would get some legitimate joy out of them.
you know like his joy of messing with her tail before or just her in general. since he's a little shit. you're marrying this little shit, hiyori.
with all yato's violent squirming that mustache is uneven as HECK, but she moves on to the next thing. coloring in a goatee at his chin. drawing those uwu anime blushes on his cheeks with the lines. perma-blush.
they're going to be walking around the other outsiders like this.
once her masterpiece is done, she sits back and looks down at him.
Pff -
THEY ARE LIVING THEIR BEST DUMB LIVES
He might be a little shit, but he's her little shit. That's the important part. Forever hers, through thick and thin and ridiculous.
And boy are they being RIDICULOUS right about now. You'd think he would know better than to try fighting her off, but alas, he does not. So wonky stache it is, complete with blushu marks and tacky goatee. He can feel everything going on and it makes him fidget and fluster more as it becomes apparent what he's going to look like after the fact.
A total and complete DORK.]
Hiyoriiiiii...!
[His whine pierces the air as his legs flail childishly, which matches the doodles on his face perfectly. Truly a grand masterpiece.]
D-Don't laugh...! How am I supposed to build up a following looking like this?!
THE FUN BEFORE THE STORM
her ridiculous, whiny dork. hah.
yato telling her not to laugh makes her giggle more. what, a following? this isn't the time to get a following while out on a mission. but it is yato's dream to be a god of happiness for a lot of people. hiyori wants that for him, too.
it's less necessary here, she thinks, but it's something he wants. it's his dream. and so hiyori supports it like she does his other dreams. ]
You should have thought of that before you drew on me! [ through laughter that's steadily growing in volume. he looks so silly and there was so much tension in her body; now it's just gone because of him and how she can be herself around him. ]
H - how am I supposed to handle patients like this?
[ look she'll take some pity on him, trying to smudge the wonky part of the mustache by rubbing his cheek. ]
O - Oh. Oh no, Yato, it really won't come off.
AT LEAST THEY'LL WEATHER IT TOGETHER
Her idiot, her god, her love.
He's got Aspirations now, Hiyori...! He's dreaming of a big win - of being the one to strike the killing blow on the kaiju! Then maybe he'll get merchandise and become a heroic sensation--!
...he may be in a bit of a competition with Bakugo, okay. Besides, even here it would appease his godly nature to be idolized if not worshiped outright.]
Wheeeeh..... [He wails pathetically like the childish dweeb he is, going limp and allowing his doodled upon face to fall in a comical fashion.]
I dunno, I think it makes you more approachable...! Meori Iki!
[He sighs again though as she attempts to get the marker off. "Attempt" being the operative word.]
W-What? Seriously?! Were they permanent markers?? [They probably were, since he wanted them to stay on his suit...]
A TSUNAMI OF EMOTIONS
him competing with others isn't a new concept, either. instead of other gods of fortune, it's other heroes. as long as it makes him happy...
since he's lamenting his doodled-upon face isn't. once her laughter subsides a little bit, she tosses yato a mildly withering look. meori...
limp, her arm falls back down to her side. they're going to have these faces while they're here on the mission. they have to work with hiyori's teammates in redemption and brimstone while looking like this. ]
You... really didn't check?
[ okay, this is less funny now. ]
IT'S A WHIRLWIND
Even if he ends up competing for glory against his friends, it's still only a friendly game.
Kind of like their little doodle war they've got going on now. Him and Meori Iki, heh.]
.....t-they were permanent last I looked...
[Even as he says that he seems to be shrinking on the spot, growing more and more rueful by the moment. Maybe... he should've thought this through a little more before drawing on her face.]
FLOODED WITH FEELING
but if you asked hiyori, she thinks yato dreams big sometimes because he's still afraid of losing what he has. because the more you have, the less painful it is when you lose one of those somethings.
hiyori's about to lose her shit, though. ]
They...
[ WERE PERMANENT WHEN HE LOOKED??? ]
You -
[ suddenly, not feeling so bad she retaliated the way she did if yato knew they were permanent and DREW ON HER FACE ANYWAY.
.... he looks ridiculous, trying to disappear with all those doodles on his face. hiyori does not lose her shit, though. she takes a deeeeeeeeeeep breath through her nose and lets it out through her mouth. ]
I guess we're just like this now. I am Meori Iki.
[
just kidding. she's climbing off yato to go to her bag, jostled slightly by the camper moving along, and starts searching in her things for - aha. rubbing alcohol. that'll work. it's helpful in a pinch with nausea so she brought it to help with the rift poisoning but who knew she'd need it to get rid of FACE DRAWINGS.
attempt to, anyway. ]
QUAKING WITH EMOTION
Oops though?]
....uhm. [THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING] Yeah...
[He just... forgot?? What with everything going on, it kinda slipped his mind just a bit. Normally he would've gone with washable markers but given what he brought them for, permanent was the better choice.
At least until it wasn't. He's grateful she doesn't lose her shit, either in part or full. Last thing they need is a genuine fight on their hands.]
...Meori and Nyato Iki. It'll be on our marriage certificate.
[Once she gets off him, he's propping himself up to see what she's doing, stare curious and yet hopeful at the same time. If anybody can get them free of their markery goofiness, it'll be her. He has to wonder how bad he looks, though. Probably completely ridiculous. She looks cute, at least.]
I'm sorry, Hiyori... I should've thought things through before drawing on you.
SHAKING IN MY BOOTS
... a lot is going on, she'll give him that. ONLY THAT. does it excuse his mistake? NO. it could have turned into a fight, but she'd rather not. instead, hiyori to the rescue. once she turns and levels a flat look at him for their NEW names being on their certificate.
rescuing civilians from danger is taking up a majority of her brain power, but it's not the only thing. yato being here in their camper is one less thing to worry about, but she's all too aware of who is with them and how hard she is thinking about
everyone else.
as frustrating as being drawn on with permanent marker is, as thoughtless as yato was with that, she... needed him. not to protect her so much as to keep her sane. without a word, she takes his hand and guides him to sit down somewhere where she can take a cloth with some rubbing alcohol and rub gently at his mustache.
her eyes flick briefly to his eyes, hand pausing, at his apology before she sighs. ]
That can be said for a lot of things you do. [ STRIPED PANTIES SNOW. ]
... No harm done, really. But this'll take a while to fade away. [ and the longer she has to look at it, the more she can't help but crack a small smile. ]
Mustaches don't suit you at all, though. Or goatees.
HEHE
At least he's apologetic about the whole ordeal unlike the way he used to be, shamelessly stealing Yukine's money and pestering the shit out of her by stepping on her tail. He also appreciates that she's not letting it escalate into a full blown fight between them. That would suck massively... Even if she's giving him a dirty look, oops.
He's perhaps surprisingly unbothered by who their companions in the camper are; maybe it's because he has faith in them, or the fact he's here to defend Hiyori from any unwanted attention. It's hard to say.
Following Hiyori to a seat makes him feel better, as does her rubbing away at his face with alcohol, even if the smell makes his nose twitch. It's not just her who needed him, honestly... He wasn't prepared to be separated from her, either. Worries would've eaten away at him and he would've been only half as useful as he typically is.
When their eyes meet, he flushes slightly out of embarrassment.]
Y-Yeah, I know. [Gala kisses...]
As long as it comes off, that's fine. Like you say, Facial hair really looks weird on me, even if it's just drawn on. [He too ends up smiling, feeling warmed by her expression.]
You look cute with whiskers, though. Hehe.
UWU !!!!!
not like she wants to get into a fight on this tiny camper either with other people around them. their marker match was enough.
whatever yato's reasons are, she's also aware that he sometimes just IGNORES THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM because he's in his own little yato world. hiyori would like to live in that world one day, where she can ignore what's going on around her and the tension coming from one side of the camper.
her smile widens a bit at the nose twitch, but her chest and face start to get warm seeing yato's face get red.
... red from a blush and not marker.
GALA KISSES HISSSSS ]
Shush, you. [ much as she tries to resist, hiyori pouts at him as her face gets even warmer and she rubs more forcefully against his cheeks. just because he thinks it's cute doesn't make it okay!!
it does make hiyori forgive him. ]
Mm, I think it's weird because you have such a young face even though you're... a lot older than you look. I remember that time you disguised yourself with glasses and a mustache -
[ WAIT SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING THAT ]
