::So, Judai and Asuka and anyone else living at Sakana, you feel a shift in the air this late August Day, as someone approaches from the trees, walking on the top of residential walls and other objects. Green haired, adjusting gloves.::

*Judai could feel the shift in the air quite easily while he's sat in the living area of his apartment, watching his daughter draw something. Feeling a bit on edge, he gets up and walks over to the door, opening it and looking out.

When he sees who's out there, he makes a slight exasperated sigh before looking back into the apartment and at Asuka.*

Looks like we have company.

[danse_etoile]

Company or 'Company'?

::You can sense her shoulders stiffen.::

[i_like_red]

Definitely the second one. The bad kind of company.

[danse_etoile]

Ugh. Give me a minute to grab some decent pants and a shirt.

::Squirrels back into Sakana, as the Tengu Lord approaches, though they seem to have paused at a space where there's nothing that's higher ground.::

[i_like_red]

Alright. I'll head out first and see what they want.
Though I think we both know what they want.

*Judai first makes sure that someone is keeping an eye on Asami, while he and Asuka deal with this. Thankfully, he has a number of Duel Spirits at his disposal, and the Neo Spacians were happy to watch her. He then heads out of the apartment first, to address their 'visitor'.*

So.
Nice evening we're having.

[danse_etoile]

Personally, I find it unreasonably hot, but there is a certain charm to the end of the Witching Season, I agree.

::A Tengu wearing a black cloth of its face places a series of crates down for their lord, while they themselves never touching the lowly ground, as the Tengu master leaps over, and stands atop of the set of objects.::

[i_like_red]

Uh-huh. Right.

So... *He crosses his arms.* ... I assume you're here for the same thing we talked about previously.

[daeasterncourt]

Indeed.

Negotiations are preferable to violence, are they not, your majesty?

::Smiling.::

[i_like_red]

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure our stance hasn't changed since the last time.

[daeasterncourt]

But that means it hasn't worsened either, correct?

::Tapping their foot, there's an almost 'bird in a human meat suit energy' to them, honestly, the way the hold themselves, how they move, how they carry themselves..::

[i_like_red]

I guess not, but I still don't think our opinion will be changing.

[daeasterncourt]

Very possible, but it's worth attempting, is it not?

::Chuckles lightly with a vague 'caw' in their voice.::

[i_like_red]

Fine. Asuka will be here in a moment. Once she is, we can talk.

[danse_etoile]

::Comes back out in a windbreaker jacket, a light T-Shirt for the weather and breathable pants.::

... ah.

[i_like_red]

*He looks over at her as she approaches.*

Yeah. Looks like our "friend" here wants to talk to us again.

[danse_etoile]

Better than a multitude of other options, at least.

[daeasterncourt]

Indeed, Bride of the King.

[i_like_red]

*Judai looks over at their visitor.*

So. How would you like to start the discussion.

[daeasterncourt]

The world is dying and every light shall fade, every star shall return to darkness.

We would like to stop that.

[i_like_red]

And I assume to do this, you still want Fujiwara's research.

[daeasterncourt]

It leads the way to the furthest gate in the depths of Yomi. So, yes.

[i_like_red]

Right.

Well, as I mentioned, I don't think our stance has changed with that. I think the both of us still are unwilling to hand over his research to you.

[daeasterncourt]

And please reiterate what your issue is with giving them to us.

[i_like_red]

Being honest? I don't really trust you or how you act like you have some kind of authority over things.

And I feel Fujiwara's stuff isn't something I should put into the hands of someone I don't know or trust.

[daeasterncourt]

Yet, we are the ones who know the ghost roads the best.

Not even the Foreign Queen knows the way to the Farthest Gate.

We may have issues with her, but those are matters to be resolved AFTER all parties aren't perishing on a sinking boat.
