[buzen is injured but he has his sword so like. karma evens out right. but he's going to go up to kazunari and just. put a hand on his shoulder]

Kazu-san....

I think your profile was written in another language.

[he understands

none of it]

[dms]

Huh? You think?

[ scrolling... scrolling... ]

...It looks normal to me, though? Or maybe don't know Japanese?

[hasteful]

Eh? I think Japanese is the only language I do know...

[that said he'll just try to read the words - though he's clearly fumbling with them, mispronouncing them as he goes]

What is... Scoo....ba? The... Behlam....? And... Deems?

[dms]

Didn't you say you were an idol, ZenZen? I thought you'd know already.

[ this is fine though let's take it one by one ]

Scuba is a water sport - diving into the deeper waters in the ocean, you know? The 'Blam is social media, where you upload pics for people to like and comment and share. DMs are direct messages - like texting!

[hasteful]

[ . . . . . ]

The... The social media is...?

[help]

Er, I wouldn't really say I'm just an idol actually, Kazu-san... It's more just like what I'm doing when I'm not on missions... Sorry I couldn't tell you earlier.

[dms]

Missions...?

Oh! Are you a spy?

[hasteful]

Hm... Sometimes!

[he just grins]

I think that when we get to the details of my missions, I might still have to keep a few secrets. Do you trust me?

[dms]

No reason not to!

[ they literally just met ]

I promise I won't press you too hard on anything.

[hasteful]

Hah! Sounds like my own philosophy.

Thank you, Kazu-san. I definitely want to support you however I can regardless.

[dms]

No wonder we get along so well! Let's try to support each other, okay, ZenZen? It'll make things a lot easier if we can rely on each other.

Can I ask you one thing, though? And you don't have to answer if you don't want to, I get it!

[hasteful]

Of course! If there's anything you need, Kazu-san, then let me know and I'll come running.

[though at the idea of a question, he tilts his head]

Feel free to ask. I'll always do my best to be as honest as I can.

[dms]

Same goes for you!

Your profile... it has your name under "inventory." What's that about?

[hasteful]

Oh!

[he pats his chest] Buzen Gou.

[and then he'll also let his hand rest on the hilt of his sword] Buzen Gou.

Tsukumogami!

[HE'S SO CHEERFUL JUST TO EXPLAIN IT STRAIGHTFORWARDLY]

[dms]

[ he's just confused at first because this doesn't make a lot of sense but then he lights up like the sun ]

No way, are you serious?! I had no idea they were real?! I never would have guessed!

So tsukumogami are idols and spies these days, huh? That's so dope!

[hasteful]

[well,]

Haha, I do not know if all tsukumogami are... but my comrades and I tend to go on missions and perform, yes. [nodding along]

We tend to keep ourselves a bit more concealed but... [also they don't go to modern times so he's not super worried about this,] Well! This place is already strange enough.

[dms]

You guys must be supes talented to do all that, huh? I'd love to see you guys perform. You gotta tell me when your next show is happening so I can nab tickets!

[hasteful]

[buzen thinks about it,]

Sure! I think that's possible! [he's. he's not sure,,] There's a couple more of us around here, so if we end up wanting to practice together, we'll definitely invite you.

[dms]

Eh, there are more of you? I did meet another idol here, but he... [ blinks. ] ...is also a swordsman?

[ wait

what? ]

...No way! Kiyopi's a spy, too?!

[hasteful]

Ah, well... he's a comrade of mine.

[so sure. spy? it's easier to let humans use their words instead of just being like TIME-TRAVELING SWORD WARRIORS]

And Yasu-san too.

[dms]

Three of you?! I didn't know it was that common! ...That does explain some things about Yams, though.

Ah, but I won't tell anyone else about you guys! Promise!

[hasteful]

I wouldn't say it's common... though there are probably more of us than anyone would expect.

[BIG CITADEL]

I appreciate it! I don't know how open the other two are being... but well, we'll deal with it if any issues come up.

[dms]

Wow. You guys must do a lot of training to do it all. Just goes to show how talented you all are!

Issues...? Like if people ask too much about your missions? You know you don't have to tell us everything even if we ask. Everyone's got secrets, you know?

[hasteful]

Haha, I'm well aware - but you never know what could happen.

[WHO KNOWS... WITH HISTORY.... BUZEN DOESN'T!]

I'm sure it'll be alright though. We're all comrades for as long as we're here, so we should just try to work together.

[dms]

[ honestly he has no idea what that means but who is he to question the actual legit spy in front of him? ]

True that! It seems like some of the people here aren't into the idea, but as long as enough of us do work together, it'll be fine!

...Might help if we knew what we needed to do here, but we'll figure that out, too.

[hasteful]

[he laughs]

We will - one way or another. Maybe it's worth another round of scouting and then regrouping? I'll share anything I find if you do!
