i do yes, but i have not had much opportunity to use it
once when i was...searching for someone to sustain myself, i recall accidentally inducing what seemed to be amnesia in them just before i took what i needed
but at least for the time they could not recall they had anything to miss...

[Well.

Yeah, he was kind of stalling initially on letting any actual significance to the two bite marks on his neck sink in. His first thought was that one of the creatures floating around here had made a snack of him in his sleep, and that he was going to have words with them, "words" being a euphemism for heck-he-was-going-to-cross-that-bridge-when-he-came-to-it once he figured out who they were, not that he had any plan for how he was going to do that.

But, uh.

Well, he's since seen indication that, indeed, it might be something a little more than that.

He's not sure whether to be happy he's at least got an idea now or not, but you know what? Let's ride it for now.]

Rohan right?
Hey man you asked and you're gonna get it, it looks like I JUST might be a vampire.

MIGHT be a vampire?

The Fog hasn't even rolled in yet.

[ something is AFOOT ]

Yeah that's why I'm not saying it's for sure.
Still you wake up in the middle of the day noticing a couple of spots you got on your neck are starting to itch really bad and what are you supposed to think?
I mean if it was just someone taking a bite of me in my sleep I thought of that too and I'm not gonna take kindly to that, and I thought about that too.

I wouldn't want anyone gnawing on me in my sleep either.

Actually, I've been there and it was not as fun as some people make it out to be.

Nonetheless, I am preparing for the Fog when it comes. If you want it looked at in that time, we can have a more "concrete" idea of what we are working with.

Call staying prepared to be my "forte" around this time of the month.

[Mm-kay, he'd wonder if that's a trap (scratch that, he is inclined to wonder, at least in part, but why would anyone out-and-out say that), but you know what? He'll roll with it. Stay prepped and way on guard - might have to dig up info on Naga weaknesses while he's at it, which would, heck, be good info to have on-hand anyway, but roll with it.]

I'm game! If you get a time and place in mind for all that when it does start getting foggy then I'll try to work it onto the old schedule.

[No, he's not exactly comfortable and settled with the idea of leaving this kind of thing in someone else's hands, but there ought to be time to collect info and see how things look before the fog actually hits.

He assumes for the sake of personal convenience, anyway.]

[ too bad lucas doesn't know that he can't die anyway even if he wants to (often). ]

Come to Ebony Threads in Bavan when that starts to happen. I will be all ready for you when you arrive.

If something should happen in that timespan that is a little

hard to handle

I promise that I can make it work.

Lucas, was it?

[Ebony Threads ohhhh, right. That's the tailoring place that Ibuki kid mentioned the two of them working at. Not the kind of place he'd picture himself going, but, well. Here thar be reasons.

And he kind of rolls his eyes and lets that settle with a slightly-furrowed brow and a crooked grin at the middle bit - heck, he's had his share of rough times, and so how bad could any of this be - but still!

Keep rollin'.]

That's me.

[So he may have had a talk with a certain blue brother of his... and he may or may not still hold resentments towards Rohan but maybe something got to him during that conversation or maybe he's just tired of fighting all the time.. who knows.

Either way, he is going to give him a chance whether Rohan wants one or not.]

hey

would you uh
do you wanna go out for drinks tonight

I'm not a drinker.

[ ... but. ]

I can spare some time out of the house. Sure.

Did Karamatsu put you up to this? I won't retract acceptance. I'm just curious.

nah i decided to do it myself
cause everyone raves on and on about how great and nice you are and how we should know each other or something so i thought hey
lets go out for beer then and see what this guy is all about

I don't see why we can't.

What time were you looking at? I am free today.

how about right now

That works so I'm not pressed for time.

Where.

uh

the bar closest to my house? you know where i live right

Believe it or not, I don't.

I am aware of most of Bavan's businesses for networking purposes so if I have a name I can likely find it.

whaaaaaaaat

youve been friends with karamatsu all this time and he never invited you over??

oh i guess id
probably know if you had visited or not since i live here

okay! ive decided!
well forgo a bar and you can just come over here for some drinks instead
everyone else is busy doing whatever so im all alone anyway
and youll get to see casa de matsu with your own two eyes

I'm sure Casa de Matsu is impressive.

[ no he isn't ]

Let me have your address and I will put my face on and slither by.

sure

it's [insert adress here]

dont keep me waiting long, kay?

Expect me within the hour.

[ And by that he means in EXACTLY an hour Osomatsu will have a uniform three knocks on the front door rattling him to attention. Rohan doesn't fuck around with times and dates so he is on the ball for this.

Looking down his nose, chin up, shoulders back, and eyelids sharply at half-mast, this is what Osomatsu will be greeted with. Exactly the stuffy, tight-ass snake in makeup he should have expected. ]

Matsuno, are you in?

[When Osomatsu hears the knocks on the door, he sets whatever he had in his hands down -- namely, a bag of chips -- and makes his way leisurely to the front door. The voice he hears on the other side is.. ~~familiar~~ not exactly what he'd expect from Rohan, and he makes note of that as he slides the front door open with a curious glance more than anything else.

...oh he looks different than he'd expect too. A lot younger, anyway.]

You know, referring to me as "Matsuno" when there's six of us is probably gonna get confusing.

[He says that as he steps back to let Rohan inside.]

Until I can remember all of your names on sight, I use a surname basis.

[ That probably will never effectively happen. ]

Thank you for the invitation, Osomatsu. [ Just don't slide the door on his tail when he slinks in. It's a cute little house. He looks around to put time into appreciating it. ]

This house reminds me of my grandmother's inn at home. Very traditional, quiet. I wouldn't have expected something so pretty when I hear about what a madhouse this place can be.

[ Let him be blunt. He's not being OPENLY offensive right now. ]

I had my skepticisms around coming here myself. I know that you and I-- and several of your other brothers --don't see eye to eye. It's best to make peace and stay together for the kids.

[ bad metaphor but okay. ]

Edited 2017-05-01 20:49 (UTC)

What are we, a married couple?

[Osomatsu says that a little under his breath but definitely loud enough for Rohan to hear, as he waits for all of him to get inside before sliding the door shut.]

This was our parents home though, it's been around since at least the 60's.

[since they were technically born in the 60s]

I dunno how that Mono person did it but she replicated it down to the stains in the carpet! Pretty cool, huh?

[ The naga scoffs and casts a glance over his shoulder. ]

Mana. I wouldn't be proud of the stains on my carpet. Such a thing would be penalized at my castle. [ says the guys with the actual bathtub full of fermenting bodies. ]

I'm guessing that this is going to be a getting to know you activity with a twist. I'm not actually able to eat anything that isn't a liquid, so I'm afraid I cannot buffer my alcohol...

[Osomatsu's just gonna walk ahead of Rohan, leading him into the family den which is connected to the kitchen. He'll see there's already a bunch of snacks piled up on the table there... a couple of six packs of beer... he was Prepared.

Apparently not prepared for Rohan to tell him that he can't eat anything that isn't a liquid, though.]

Hahh? So you don't eat meat? Don't snakes like... swallow food whole though?
