Video | UN: hijikata | Irregular Quest: Keep a Man out of the Sun for a Day
[It's after dinnertime on another rainy evening when a new video pops up on AOL. Hijikata has never posted anything on the network before (beyond responses to other people), so he's not exactly a familiar face... but those who do know him may be surprised by the changes to his outfit and the large black wings on his back. He looks a lot more composed than usual and gives the camera a slow blink before starting to speak.]
My name is Arashi. I am the familiar of Hijikata-san, whose body I am inhabiting by means of familiar fusion to bring you this message. I am afraid that I find myself in need of some assistance.
[He seems to be in a hotel room, and attentive listeners may be able to catch the occasional high-pitched little noise in the background, as if there were guinea pigs or other small pets running around. Arashi keeps a straight face.]
It has come to my attention that Hijikata-san has been struggling to reverse the impact of the wishes that were made about two months ago. I cannot maintain the familiar fusion state for very long, so I seek the support of anyone willing and able to keep him away from the sunlight for a day.
[What the reclusive crow tengu isn't telling the viewers: due to the heavy rains he decided to check on his bond partner, only to find his hotel room full of mayonnaise mascots. When the flooding began Hijikata had fetched them in a panic from the smallholding farm the owners of which had been letting him keep them in an enclosure, and their presence immediately made it clear to Arashi that he never fixed his messed-up magic. Hijikata had just finished preparing a familiar fusion essence in his room for later use in an emergency, and ultimately it was used much sooner as a result of the ensuing fight.]
Please come to Room 306 at the main inn if you are interested. I cannot offer gold, but I am able to train users of wind magic and help awaken it for novice users of elemental magic, or otherwise I can offer some rare items.
Just as a warning, there are some... creatures here.
[The mayonnaise mascots are harmless, but kind of creepy looking in his opinion. They are unnatural, wholly unnatural. The sooner they disappear the better.]
(OOC: This is open for anyone, no dibs (after all we've got time loops happening around here!). Villains and pranksters are also welcome (after all Arashi is such an absent familiar that he wouldn't be able to tell who Hijikata's friends are, or if he has any at all). If you'd like to plot anything specific out I have my CR meme post here!)

Also icons will now roughly reflect his mood since Hijikata is out of sight.]I see.
[Hijikata's reaction through the wall is naturally louder.]
Are you shitting me?! You turned my room into a catacomb complete with death traps! What is this, Tomb Ra*der?! Let me out, you demon bitch!
Hijikata-san, please moderate yourself. Do keep in mind that she is the one who will release you once your affliction is removed. Again, this is for your own good.
My own good, my ass!! I'll kill you!
[Despite the severity of the statement this rough behaviour is pretty standard for the Shinsengumi, and Hijikata has thrown countless death threats around as well as received them, but Arashi doesn't take kindly to it and steps away from the room, fully focusing on Klaudia now.]
I must apologise - for Hijikata-san, but also for myself, since I realise that I neglected to ask for your name.

My name is Klaudia. [She raises her voice, cheerfully making sure that Hijikata can hear her.] And if he calls me that again, I really will make that his tomb~ He should keep in mind that I'm out here, and he's in there; and I don't have to come back and let him out.
