Video un: sneaky_fox

[damn_kitsune]

[The video is taken from Mitsuhide's perspective since he's the one making it after all. The subject of the video? Why the Demon King himself! Oda Nobunaga of course!]

[The video shows the inside of the bar that Mitsuhide works at. More specifically, it's the view from behind the counter. And Nobunaga is shown wearing the button down shirt that the other bartenders were wearing. He also opted to wear a tie, which Mitsuhide normally forgoes. That said tie, though, was currently in one of the glasses of beer that Nobunaga was arranging on a tray.]

[Mitsuhide could be heard snickering from behind the camera.]

You really need to mind where your tie goes, my lord.

[And that's when Nobunaga notices his now wet tie. He glared towards Mitsuhide, took off the tie and went back to arranging the drinks so that the tray would be more balanced.]

[Once he was satisfied with the arrangement, Nobunaga than moved to the patron side of the counter. Of course Mitsuhide followed him because he had to make sure that he got all of this one video.]

[Nobunaga then did a handstand, which he then managed to slide the tray and balance it on one foot. After he moved a short distance to a nearby table, he managed to transfer the tray to the other foot, lower it and carefully slide it onto the table, much the delight of the patrons at the table.]

[Everyone nearby clapped once Nobunaga was standing back on his feet. Mitsuhide could be heard chuckling some.]

Very good, my lord! Now... Catch!

[Just before the video cuts off, Mitsuhide's hand comes into view as he tossed an empty bottle to the Demon King, who had a bit of a surprised look on his face.]

Comments

[foxtouched]

Oh... that does sound curious. I've only ever managed to do that in my dances with my hand fans. Juggling, that is...

You addressed him as your Lord... then are you Master Mitsuhide?

[damn_kitsune]

Well, it at least gives me a chance to use skills that I normally only use when I'm doing undercover work.

[He gave a bit of a chuckle, and then a smirk as he gave a bit of a head bow as a form of greeting.]

Indeed. I'm Akechi Mitsuhide. And who might you be?

[Though he had a very good idea of who she was.]

[foxtouched]

Undercover work... how mysterious! But please forgive me for not introducing myself. I am called Kitsuno, Princess of Sawa. Lord Nobunaga speaks of you often. It is good to meet you at last, Master Mitsuhide.

[ She gives a little bow of her head in greeting too. ]

I didn't know you both had begun to work together, too! What is it that you both do here, now?

[damn_kitsune]

So you're Lady Kitsuno. [Now he had a face for the woman Nobunaga told him about.] It's good to finally meet you as well.

[He gave a bit of a chuckle.]

I work as a bartender at this establishment. Officially, Lord Nobunaga doesn't work here, as he is only doing this on a dare.

[He gave a bit of a shrug]

It at least gives him some employment that has lasted more than a few hours.

[foxtouched]

[ There's a visible fluster that shows on her expression, that she immediately composes herself from. Hearing that recognition makes her feel a little sheepish, but she nods. ]

He does seem to need some activity, doesn't he? I'm glad he has someone of his own world to keep him company among everyone else, here.

[ Nobunaga was right, though. He does resemble a fox, which was true of the Mitsuhide in her world too- even if he was a different sort of demon himself. ]

But he does look very nice in that outfit. You're carrying it very well yourself, Master Mitsuhide.

[damn_kitsune]

He certainly can't stay still for very long. [What was the condition that he recently read about that perfectly describe that? ADHD? He should bring that up to Nobunaga one of these days.]

And now Date Masamune from our world is here as well. Lord Nobunaga will not be short on company from our world. [Especially since a good chunk of the Azuchi warlords being here. Though they were the warlords known to cause some form of mischief.]

[He chuckled a bit as he looked down at his clothes]

You flatter me, Lady Kitsuno. These more modern clothes are interesting though I tend to favor a blend of modern and traditional when I'm not working. [It proved to be a very comfortable style for him.]

[foxtouched]

'tis only the truth. Your mortal bodies work very well for such attire... though with some adjustments, I can see them on the beastkind back home, too.

[ She looks curious. ]

Date Masamune... oh. The mortal with that name was called the Single-Eyed Dragon. Our very own dragon lords blessed him. I'm glad to hear more from your own world are arriving here. Are you all friends?

[damn_kitsune]

Beastkind? [He does seem to recall that Nobunaga mentioned that this Kitsuno wasn't human after all.]

Ah, so Masamune still has the reputation of being the One-Eyed Dragon in other worlds as well. He would be pleased to hear that. In our world though, he is an ally to Lord Nobunaga. [And probably the closest thing to a real friend that Mitsuhide has.]

[foxtouched]

Ah, yes. Beastkind are those that remain in their beastlike form... they're natural forms for them, but they're intelligent and move as we do. Maybe you'll see them around in this world too.

[ She smiles then. ]

Mm. The one who blessed him in my world gave him his name. The mortal Date Masamune is known to be a formidable warrior. None as powerful as the Demon King, though.

Are... there no spiritkind in your world, Master Mitsuhide?

[damn_kitsune]

I've seen a duck who walked around and talked like a person, but I think he is different from your beastkind since he said all the people of his world are sentient animals.

[He's still kinda wants to see a sentient duck feeding a normal duck.]

Spirits don't exist in my world but are believed by those who don't know any better. It's very much to my advantage for some to believe that I'm a real Kitsune or Satori.

[foxtouched]

They might be more similar than they seem, then. That's how most beastkind are.

Why would you want to be believed to be one if you aren't, though? Don't mortals fear spiritkind? You seem so lovely on your own.

[ Just blunt as ever. ]

[damn_kitsune]

Them fearing spiritkind and yokai is exactly why it's to my advantage that some believe I'm a Kitsune. It give me an advantage when I'm gather information.

[He's not going to give her details on how he gets his information. He has a feeling that Nobunaga would have his head if he told her anything remotely gruesome.]

[konpeito_aji]

You can juggle? Can you show me how?

[He's late with Starbucks and looks a little wet, the shirt is probably ruined. Guess where that bottle Mitsuhide threw wound up!]

[foxtouched]

Oh, I can! I can dance while doing it, too!

[ She technically isn't supposed to know how to but who would stop her from dancing and learning what she liked in private while enjoying time with her baby brothers? ]

... My Lord, you're all wet. Do you have something else to change into?

[konpeito_aji]

[He's just going to keep his smug disposition as he mentally entertains that image!] You'll have to show me then.

No. [Eyeroll.] Not on hand. A certain kitsune was probably jealous of being outshone. [Mitsuhide, he means.] I could order his shirt, but he would enjoy the chance to flaunt even that too much.

[damn_kitsune]

You won't have gotten wet if you simply caught the bottle. [He even warned you.]

[konpeito_aji]

Mitsuhide, you are the best sharpshooter I've ever known, but that is all the more reason you shouldn't throw anything at someone's head.

[damn_kitsune]

I wasn't aiming for your head. I was aiming for your hands. [Which just so happened to be up at the time.]

[konpeito_aji]

That solves nothing. Head, heart, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, no projectiles.

[damn_kitsune]

So I guess that means you don't want me to toss you this towel so that you can dry off...

[foxtouched]

Well, if he says he warned you... we'll have to practice having you catch things without spilling them!

But I'm on my break. I could bring you something to wear and have Mitsu take your clothes to be cleaned.

[ Not that she particularly minds seeing him wet... it's attractive. ]

[konpeito_aji]

[Sob sob, he will never be able to catch them. He has a "YEET" reaction to things being thrown at him on account of ninjas tyvm!]

Sounds like a good plan. I'll trust you to pick something suitable and to your liking.

[foxtouched]

[ Guess she's not running at him to be caught. Bye bye princess carry dance moves! ]

I like everything you wear, my Lord. You've such an attractive body, I could look at it all day. Dressed or undressed.

[ Look, it's a compliment and she means it in the most non-lewd way. Maybe. ]

Perhaps some shirts with buttons... they'd look nice on you.

[konpeito_aji]

[Well, no, THAT he can do. And also a sword if tossed to him. And fans. But no balls or or anything that make his "danger danger slay everything in sight!" Reflexes flare.]

[He hums happily at the compliment and all but peacock struts around!]

Okay! I'm quite fond of them. And ties, even though they provide a temptation for enemies, it requires them to get close enough to take advantage of it.

[foxtouched]

I've seen some people use ties very creatively. Some of the couples who come to the store find ways to pull their partners close with them at times.

[ She found it so pleasing to see people being open with their affections. But she does admire the way he looks, letting herself be distracted by that. ]

You've been making a mess of your outfits a lot lately, my Lord. Some people might get the wrong idea.

[ Like him just finding excuses to take his clothes off! ]
