And then they were cloommates

[Here is Douman! This time, none the worse for wear, and definitely not covered in blood. They come in and sit across Omi, letting out a sigh.]

Doubled this week, it seems. Two victims...

[housewolf]

[Like an oversized cat.

He pets through their hair.]

Grell and Kaz... I didn't know either of them very well.

[commedia]

[That actually gets their cheeks to flush a little? Unprompted petting...]

...Kaz wasn't one who had many smarts at all, and Grell...well, she made enemies at the last execution. It's hardly surprising.

[housewolf]

Yeah, I can't really say I'm surprised, if I'm bein' honest.

[commedia]

[A nod.]

But we have to go through that whole nonsense again... [Sighing, they lean into the touch.] I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

[housewolf]

[The petting continues, nice and gentle.]

... 'm not either.

[commedia]

Did you see anything? I can't say I did. Just smoke throughout the opium den...

[And a yawn, like a tired cat.]

Mmm. I miss the blood.

[housewolf]

[Of course you did, you evil sorcerer.]

Not this time. I was in the music room, and there was... some weird music? It played for an hour.

[commedia]

Weird? Weird how?

[housewolf]

Electro...? I think that's the term?

[He is tone deaf and cannot help at all.]

It was comin' from the DJ table.

[commedia]

...Electro.

[what the heck does that mean]

I...see. Well, a clue worth thinking over, I suppose.

[housewolf]

Was there anythin' weird about the smoke?

[commedia]

No, it was just thick black heavy smoke. It...took a while to get out of the room, actually.

[housewolf]

That sounds shitty.

Who were you with? Breathing okay now?

[commedia]

[A nod.]

Yuel, Lenore, Master...I think that was it. I'm alright. Don't worry about this humble priest.

[housewolf]

Still, I'm glad you're fine.

[commedia]

...

[A slight smile, as they push into that hand with their head, letting out a sigh.]

I'm...glad you're alright, too.

[housewolf]

[He scritches lightly before continuing to pet.]

At least neither of us got hurt. That's a plus.

[commedia]

Omi...

[Just a moment, let them bask in warm cat enjoyment at the touches.]

Mmm. Do you have any way to defend yourself? In case you did get attacked...

[housewolf]

I could fight back if it came down to it.

[A cute and awful cat.]

You?

[commedia]

Same here. I am but a coward, but...this body suits me well.

[Their...beefcake, and all.]

You know, someone asked me to find a weapon...but now I'm thinking we need to find some, too...

[housewolf]

Mm. It does suit you.

[Large cuddly cat clown.]

A weapon... Those seem to disappear quick once we get access to new rooms.

[commedia]

Yes, yes, I noticed that, too. Someone somewhere must be hoarding some of that. Ahaha, maybe we should break in and steal them from ourselves?

[douman no]

[housewolf]

[Douman no.]

I have... a kitchen knife.

Honestly I have more experience with my hands than with a weapon.

"for" ourselves. god

[commedia]

You do? Ohhh, how resourceful you are.

[And a nod.]

I understand that feeling myself. Ahh, I really miss my onmyoudo, in times like these...
