The Day of Thunder

"Spot on. Fucking donkey summoning folks out to the middle of fucking nowhere. If he's flinging out weird shit then I'll have to stop him."

He nodded at himself . . . somehow.

He blinked, having not expected actual inquiring questions. "Well no . . . I'm here to see what the fucking donkey is up to. Summoning people to the middle of nowhere for his own weird shit reasons. Although if there are any portals around I'll have to scout them and report back." Ranmaru's question...

After being steadied by Han-Hei he seemed to recover quickly.

"Oh got that fucking right at least. Not much else has gone right today, and Yuzuru is the Boss so he's the Boss Man . . . "

On the offer of help he wobbled a hand too and fro.

"Depends on if the fucking donkey is easy to find or not."

"Oh everything is fine now. Absolutely fucking fine. . . . . How are you?"

He was beginning to think that maybe these two didn't like each other much.

"Did I put the wrong clothes on?"

He tried looking at his own mons which ended up having him just spin in an ungainly circle.

"Oh fuck . . . . dizzy . . . . "

He blinked, whistled and grinned.

"You obviously haven't seen Doji and Yuzuru fucking going for each other's throats with words in court, or Shinjo beating the bloody living daylights out of someone on the practise field."

"She did a fucking great job . . . "

He wasn't looking at the swords.

"Don't get why the concubine stays around. Job's finished, go find a new one."

It wasn't entirely sure if he realised he'd said that aloud.

"Crows, ravens, whatever. All doomseers or actual fucking demons, the lot of them."

He made a strange gesture with one hand that meant nothing to the others, but was presumably an offensive gesture in some culture.

"It always fucking does."

He peered up over his shoulder as if expecting it to swoop down on them right now.

He stopped, slightly stunned and stared at Satsuki . . . then Ranmaru and then back at Satsuki.

"Fuck me . . . I thought I just said what I thought, not anyone else . . . "

Dismissing the sudden thought of "Egg!!!!!!" that came to mind when he realised it was Satsuki he continued smiling at Ranmaru and totally not checking him out.

"Haven't been with other Yuzuru much, been too busy tracking down and identifying portals."

He squinted at Sora.

"Too tall and not squawking fucking bullshit koans, so not this donkey for sure."

He thought for a moment.

"Unless you have a fucking wise ass fucking crow hiding somewhere around that is."

"Not found one yet. Only just got here. If the old donkey is really here though then it's likely."

He blinked a few times.

"Shit follows him around it feels like."

"Just a second!" The face disappeared back into the tent and there was some muffled swearing and fumbling sounds before he re-emerged, fully this time, revealing the flame wreathed ninetailed fox mons on his clothing. He ran a hand through his hair to smooth it and addressed Ranmaru directly with br...

Not often I get to start these things!

I have early appointments tomorrow so time for sleeps. or as Hoto-Hori would say, I'm effing out, seeya effing tomorrow.

"Gateways to the other realms. Chikushudo, Sakkaku, Meido and the like. Some pretty fucking dangerous ones into Yume-do these days. Boss man wants them all mapped and taken care of . . . but don't you know that already?" The last was said after he finally got a proper look at the masked fox and the ...

With just two posts I think I've established just what all those yips and growls of forums past actually said . . .

The impression I've gotten thus far is "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

That just about sums it up . . . . yes.

He squinted at the offered cloth and somewhat miraculously managed to take it at the first attempt and then after a moment's hesitation put it to use, managing to successfully remove the plant matter he'd dragged with him through the bushes. "Should have lower fucking bushes. That one might have put...

"Oh right, yeah. Introductions, boss man said they might be a thing. Hoto-hori. Pleased to meet you"

He pressed his right hand to his face.

"Why does this hurt so fucking much? Stupid fucking plants."

It was the voices combined that finally clued him in. "What the fuck . . . . owwwwwwww. That better not have been poison ivy!" Belatedly he realised a question had been asked. "Oh no, I've been in a while now. Just busy surveying realm portals and dealing with all the weird shit going on." He blinke...
