[ For all that he found it difficult to connect the two of them in his mind at times, Masamune Kujou was indeed still there, bleeding from one to the other who continued on in his place. And there would always be the undeniable connection that was Saya, having never thought of her as ‘Masamune’s sister’ but his own. The memories were cherished as she was missed, so it had been more than a little difficult to not get pulled into the neat writing filling the pages of the journals she’d left behind. Not just the notes on her research or thoughts about spirits, but the way she talked about those who she helped as a healer and the small notes about the days as they passed.
And even after the mark, after she helped him survive, she was still aiding him now through them. Even if sometimes it was simply that there was something to hold on to and to remind him why he was doing what he was. To reach out to as many as he could to help, despite not being as talented as she was, he wanted to at least do what he could. ]
Mm… And yet there are some that will, even though they know the danger is there. [ He responded with a softer tone, a black rabbit darting across his mind’s eye briefly. Blinking, he hummed at the comment with an awkward tilt of his head and a sheepish smile. ] Ah, I guess maybe a little sometimes.
[ Often. ]
I’m not sure yet, but I think there might be a couple trails to follow… I’ll know better if they’ll lead anywhere once I start research again later.
[ The day either of them took a proper day off from work or the talk of it, there would undoubtedly be a disaster of some kind, anyway. He hadn’t even meant to get into it while they waited for their drinks, but had still slipped somehow into the topic. ]
( he would never say it, but it's probably better that he only has to deal with the one rabbit instead of two. much as he respects yashiki's younger sister and her work, especially having benefitted from her archives more than a few times, he can't imagine she'd be any less reserved than yashiki when it came to helping others.
must come with being upper class and living in a mansion. )
Just let me know if you decide to follow any of them directly. Things seem more dangerous than I'd first thought.
( says the guy who didn't tell yashiki, didn't wait, and then ended up in said dangerous situation. )
I'll have to think of what can even deal with a chainsaw, too. He didn't give a shit about my .45, and I nailed him at least twice.
[ Yashiki frowned a little more deeply at the reminder. It was probably a fair warning, given that he’d probably have done the same thing Mashita had if tables were turned. It was probably that knowledge and the fact that he’d let his phone die and forgotten about it for an entire day that kept him from pointing it out.
Plus, the danger of a chainsaw wasn’t exactly apparent based on what they’d learned from the investigation before now. They were just damn lucky that it hadn’t ended worse. He didn’t want to think about if it had, and he certainly didn’t want a repeat where Mashita was concerned… ]
I’ll call if I happen to find anything that seems promising. [ Probably… maybe. ] Probably better that we don’t go back until we have a better idea of how to deal with it anyway…
[ Pausing as their first round of drinks and the snacks he’d ordered were delivered, he considered what little they knew already. A ghostly groundskeeper with a grudge and a chainsaw, apparently resistant to bullets. Well… That wasn’t exactly surprising. Guns weren’t exactly the most effective when dealing with spirits unless there was a condition met or an aspect to the spirit itself that made them susceptible. Once they were alone again, he hummed. ]
Although it’s worth searching the grounds again for something we might need… Especially if I don’t come across anything in research-wise.
[ Easier said than done, but during the daytime, it should at least be safe, he thinks. ]
