jigokucho | [LOCKED TO ENMA] VIDEO UN: 333

[Well, if anyone was still waiting to put a face to the terrible number puzzle that got posted a while ago, here's your chance, but only if you're in Enma. The fact that it's locked to the Enma faction is exactly why Fukuda has deigned to use video, since everyone that works in Kaigo no Bou has seen his weird face before. He's just the office hole-in-head man. And right now he looks pretty banged up. He's clearly been out in the blood rain, but has been somewhat haphazardly wiped off, and is inside now.]

Ah, since Cain said I'm supposed to stay put, I tried to think of other ways I could help, and Captain Shiki said I could try to keep tabs on everyone. So I thought I'd ask everyone if they can tell me what their status is currently? And how things are looking out there.

[He pauses, scratching at his head and revealing some intense bandaging on his arm.]

I know that the blood rain can mess with your head pretty badly, so if you start feeling strange, I think it's okay for you to take a break. Being inside helps a little.

[ mitsuri recognizes him from around the office! she's never had the chance to talk with him before, and wishes it weren't while she was covered in blood, all gross and ... exhausted, but here they are. ]

Um... Thank you, for checking on everyone like this. [ it's kind of him, she thinks. especially the reminder to take a break. ] Everything is still the same but at least more people are inside now...

What happened to your arm? I'm glad you seem to be somewhere safe at least!

[To be fair, Fukuda isn't entirely NOT covered in blood right now, and also he has a hole in his head so he isn't really in any position to be judging other people's appearances.]

Mm, it's the least I can do since I've been forced out of the rescue efforts by Cain.
[A soft, slightly pitiful laugh. As for his arm, he holds it up a little.]

I just lost a little bit of it! It's not bleeding much anymore so I think it's ok.

… That’s good! [ she knows that sacrifices have to be made sometimes: many of her comrades have lost entire limbs before, not to mention their lives.

So while “a bit of his arm” is upsetting to hear, the most important thing is that he’s still alive. It seems like this person has been through a lot even before the blood rain, though. ]

Um! If there’s anything that you need, please let me know! I’m still all in one piece, and it doesn’t look like you or your friend should be moving too much.

[He shakes his head.]

That's kind of you to say, but I don't want to be dead weight any more than I already am right now.

Dead weight…?? [ sksjdkd; ] Please don’t think of yourself that way! I’m offering, so it wouldn’t be any trouble at all!

There’s nothing wrong with being injured, or needing help sometimes. Especially in a situation like this… We all have to help one another, right?

[ teamwork makes the dream work fukuda! ]

[He nods but still doesn't really seem convinced.]

But I haven't been much help myself, is what I'm saying.
[Then he straightens up a little.]

Anyway, I'm fine, I've already been seen to! So it doesn't matter.

[ she definitely knows what it’s like to feel useless — and it’s something she wouldn’t wish on most people. but she knows better than to argue, or to try to change someone’s mind like that. ]

… Well, I’m glad that you’re safe. I would miss seeing you around the office if something more serious were to happen!

[ she smiles gently ]

And if you ever do need something, then please don’t hesitate to think of me! Kanroji Mitsuri will always be more than happy to help you out. Okay?

[????? THIS IS SO NICE IT LITERALLY TAKES HIM A SECOND TO PROCESS IT. Surely... surely she doesn't really mean it. Why would a stranger care enough to notice his hypothetical absence? He's honestly a tiny bit red in the face. "He can't be that easily seduced." He can and he has been.]

I-I'll make sure to remember your name, Kanroji-san. I'm Fukuda Tamotsu, by the way.

I won’t forget your name either, Fukuda-san! [ she doesn’t really register the blushing, or the processing: mitsuri’s just happy she gets to talk with him. ]

Actually, I’m really glad that I know it now! I kept seeing you around the office, but I didn’t know what to call you. I was really happy that you have blue hair!

[ it was the first thing she noticed —- and then, of course, the hole. ]

[Why is Mitsuri so pure... illegal tbh. Anyway this throws him off because his hair color generally isn't the first thing people notice about him, and even if it does seem unusual, Mitsuri herself has pretty unique hair, so.]

Mm? Why's that? I think your hair color is a lot more striking than mine.

Well, where I come from it isn't really normal to have these kinds of hair colours! [ she grows a little bashful about the topic.
once upon a time these things would have been super painful for her to remember though. ]

So sometimes people wouldn't react well to it -- but I don't blame them, really, since it wasn't common. Though after coming here I saw that there's more people with bright hair! Like you, Fukuda-san! And I also met someone recently who also has pink hair, too! It makes me feel a lot better about myself, to be honest.

Mm, I can understand that, I suppose! Some people are still like that where I'm from, though plenty of others probably pay a lot of money to get hair like yours, Kanroji-san! The pink and green together make you look like a flower, I think it suits you.

[This would probably be flirting if these two weren't just chronically nice.]

Aw, you think I look like a flower? That’s so nice of you!! [ She blushes, completely enthralled: compliments are a total weak spot for her. ]

Actually, it’s kind of funny that you say that! My hair became this way because I ate too many sakura mochi! So the colour is from that. Why is your hair blue, Fukuda-san? Has it always been that way? It’s not dyed, right?

[Fukuda being from a relatively normal non magical world, finds this strange but also there's been so much other weird magical nonsense here so that may as well be true.]

It's always been this way, yeah! I don't think there's any particular reason beyond genetics. I think the world I come from is probably less exciting than yours.

I don’t think that’s less exciting at all! I’m sure there are lots of amazing things where you came from! I’d love to hear more about it someday.

[ mitsuri’s hair only changed because she ate hundreds of thousands of the mochi, anyways.

But he was born like that —- ] If your hair is naturally blue then you’re really special, Fukuda-san! If my hair makes me like a flower then… i think yours makes you like the sky!

[ she hopes he’s never made to feel bad about it ]

[The way hair color works in Demon Slayer is truly wild. Anyway don't worry Mitsuri, there are plenty of other things about him for people to make him feel bad about besides his hair.]

Haha, I suppose so! At least during the day. The sky turns a lot of different colors, after all.
