(TW: panic-attacks, blood.)

Hey everyone! How's the summer heat treating you?

[Her smile seems even more forced than even her usual act- like she hoped that over-saturated grin would allow her to push her way past whatever it was bothering her.]

So July kinda... okay like, majorly ran away with me, so- So I'm gonna be hosting the Summer Fashion show on the 15th August, at the beach- we'll be doing... so, like, the morning theme will be summer styles, with swimwear in the afternoon. I'll put on a BBQ too!

I hope you guys are as- as excited as I am! It's gonna be, like, a total blast.

Any volunteers who want to help out would be super duper appreciated, so just... lemme know, 'kay?


[The camera seems to be trembling. Mukuro takes a deep breath, before her expression turns more troubled.]

S-so, uh- like I don't have any issues with the Traders normally, they've always given me good stuff but- just a heads up that after the Celliwig thing they're in a bit of a- let's just say weird-ass mood?? Or- or maybe it's just me, I dunno... Anyone else have any problems with them this month?

Like, I just turned up- I mean, yeah, okay I usually go earlier in the day but I didn't think they'd close up shop too early, you know? Anyway I just turned up and was taking my time making up my mind and-

And they were totally all 'Oh hey! We brought you some stuff we thought you might like because you're, totally like, a loyal customer and all that'. Not in those words but-

[Another pause, swallowing back the anxious tears pricking up in her eyes as she tried to work out what to say.]

Okay no but seriously- seriously what the flying fuck are they on?!

[And with that, she carefully lifted up something in one, shaky hand- a spear of such a dark grey metal that it almost looked black. It tapered into a sharp point, and had small grooves near the blunt side that were almost reminiscent of ballistic markings.

Most noticeably, the tip and centre showed hints of dried blood.]


I- I dunno what they expect someone like me to do with this kinda thing- you know?

[And with that faltering, she'll fumble with her phone- attempting and failing to flick to a private setting.]

...Hey, Darin, can you like, make it into a sword or- or anything? Um- crap meant to private that part- sorry-

[ ... th. this is worrisome for several reasons. ]

Erm... perhaps you should delay the fashion show? As nice as it is, your emotional stability is of a far greater concern.

[Hijikata, still not having developed a particular interest in fashion, really only tunes in to support Mukuro. Like many others he notices right away that she's distressed, and when she shows the spear he knows why. He recognises that damn thing from the dream they shared, the dream in which he was her elite swordsman classmate rather than an aimless young countryside ronin. He calls her without delay, not even thinking of making it a private call.]

Junko. Hey, Junko, can I come over? Are you in your room?

[Why the hell would the traders give her one of the weapons that killed her?! Is this yet another shitty fae mind game? Are the outworlders still not done proving their mettle?]
mayoninofukucho: (On Standby)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2021-08-05 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
On my way.

[He hangs up and loses no time heading to the park, jogging all the way (only because outright running might worry the people and make them think there some kind of larger-scale emergency). When he spots her he beelines towards her right away and holds out his hand.]

Give me the spear.

[He has no immediate plan of what should be done with it, he just doesn't want her to have to keep holding on to it. It's a nice sunny day, so he wonders if staying out wouldn't be better than going back to the hotel where they'd be behind closed doors.]

Do you want to sit down, or go for a walk?

[He may not be an expert at dealing with traumatised people, but as long as Mukuro knows what she needs right now he's confident that he'll be able to support her.]

Are you alright?

[It isn't like Maya isn't- innately tended toward worry. And she isn't thinking about the weird things Junko's reflection said. But even without those two very noticeable thumbs on the scale there seemed to be more going on with that spear than just- spear with blood on it.]

[Or, maybe, she just hated blood. Or Maya's overthinking things. She's definitely overthinking things. Maya's concern was evident, although still muted by Maya's normally low emotional tone.]
lastexit: (408 - Through the Dark)

[personal profile] lastexit 2021-08-05 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maya took that as a no. But to be clear Maya would have taken any answer as a no.]

It feels like there's more here than just blood stained spears being a weird present to include in a purchase. If- if you want to talk.

I dunno. I guess. It might help if someone else knows?

And why are you so freaked out? You look like you don't even want to touch it.

[ This comes a day late. Someone hasn't been checking the network religiously. ]

Are you alright? I hope you got help.

You shouldn't go forward with the fashion show if you're unwell. There's always September!

[personal profile] peninhand 2021-08-06 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It can be very scary to see a weapon for the first time. It's a big bit of metal meant to takes live. I wasn't very comfortable either when Homura and Soundwave gave me a sword you know. You shouldn't be that hard on yourself.

Nobody would be disappointed. It's a lot of work and I think everyone here would get struggling with things, not to mention the burden placed on us. But if you're set on doing it this month, I can at least give you a hand.

[Normally when Klaudia responds to Mukuro's announcements, it's with (sometimes arguably mean-spirited) teasing. This time, she looks almost... concerned? There's a furrow to her brow and a frown on her lips.]

You know, you do not sound super duper ready for another fashion show! Have you considered slowing down a bit? Hosting less parties?
sulit: ([09])

[personal profile] sulit 2021-08-05 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a lengthy pause from Klaudia, though her expression is clearly skeptical. She has no idea what this 'image' is supposed to be, but...]

Why not? What does some image matter? I mean, right now you're giving the image that you're wringing your own neck to do something that you really don't want to do. So, like... Why?
