Ah, sure. I guess it just is everywhere here, isn't it? Who is 'Hijikata-san'?

[roundandaround]

Oh, he's a cop, and he's pretty famous! He's kind of loud and gets into fights, but he knows a lot of stuff, and he has a squad of ghosts and a sword. You'll know him when you see him.

[emanation]

It... sounds like it. { he rubs the back of his head } Not because of the sword, but ghosts... and gets into fights.

[roundandaround]

Oh, and mayo is his favourite thing in the world, so if you see a guy smoking and putting mayo on everything, that's him.

[emanation]

On everything? Even like... on his cereal? In coffee????

[roundandaround]

I actually wouldn't put it past him.

[emanation]

{ there's a pause and then he's just


going to


drag his hands down his face.

WHY would anyone do that to coffee?! }

[roundandaround]

...are you okay?

[emanation]

{ his hands are still over half his face when he responds to that }

Shouldn't you be asking that to him...? Can you even taste the rest of the food or drink anymore if you put mayo in it?

[roundandaround]

I dunno. I don't think so, but Hijikata-san is Hijikata-san. If it makes him happy, that's good, right?

[emanation]

Well... I guess that's true. I just can't imagine loving a food or drink that much to go to that length.

[roundandaround]

Is there anything you'd wanna put all over your life like that?

[emanation]

{ he pauses at the question, looking thoughtful.

struggles to think of anything in particular. }

Not to that extent, no. I really can't think of anything I'd go that far with.

[roundandaround]

Hm... Some people are like that and some aren't, so I think that's fine. There's stuff I really like, but more than one thing. And like, I really love donuts, but I eat things other than donuts.

[emanation]

Yeah, donuts are pretty good. So are burgers. Fries. Pizza. { does he eat anything healthy- } But I wouldn't like. Have them in my coffee.

[roundandaround]

What would pizza coffee even be, anyway?

[emanation]

{ he looks disappointed in himself for even considering this for a moment. } I guess like a cheese and tomato flavoured coffee? Is that even possible?

[roundandaround]

I dunno if it's possible, but it sounds bad.

[emanation]

Right? I'm not sure I'd be willing to try that. I guess unless I was paid to do it?

[roundandaround]

You mean like those challenges people have to do on variety shows where they gotta do weird stuff?

[emanation]

Yeah! Exactly like that. If it were for a competition or to win something I'd probably do it.

[roundandaround]

That makes sense. I -- hey, look!

[Rinku points to a shop with its doors open and a wide display of assorted umbrellas out front.]

That place has a lot of them!

[emanation]

Finally! Now the question which one to get... Do they have labels or something to tell you if they're magical or not?

{ he's already walking over there now she's pointed it out, he'd been way too caught up on the conversation before and forgot they were even supposed to be looking for umbrellas to begin with. }

[roundandaround]

Hm... I think usually? I can tell if stuff is cursed, but not regular harmless magic.

[emanation]

You'd think they'd cost more as well... Do they do any where it can go really small and you press a button and it gets bigger? That'd be really handy.
