what's the history between tenkohime and toraguma, anyways? or the enma and aaitengu.... our dear faction leaders seem to have a web of messy, tangled relationships, don't they?

ahat do you think happened? do you think tenkohime and toraguma were together but she left because he was... unsatisfactory? or is it something more or less mundane?

i'd be interested to hear what your thoughts are... it's not like we'll get any answers from them any time soon.

[Does he actually care about the truth? Absolutely not. He just thinks it would be funny.]

I don't, but since we're talking about this I thought I'd just remind people of the precedent. So people are aware of the consequences.

And also what's been tried, so if they're really feeling a troublemaker's energy in their soul someday, they can at least risk their life for new information.

[sicklysweet]

consequences are exciting

but i see, i see. you're not as much of a stick in the mud as i thought, then.

(ooc: If you want, we can drop this thread here for the rez-regain one I started in Owen’s IC inbox post! We can also continue if you have stuff you wanna do here.)

I think it would be fair to say I’m a stick in the mud, that was how I was raised. But I’ve also learned that it’s very refreshing to let loose once in a while.

You seem like you’re a much bolder person, so I wish you smooth-sailing in discovering all of the city’s interesting secrets!

2/2, this one's a private text

FYI:

Tenkohime will talk sometimes, likely because of intra-clan favoritism?

Toraguma doesn't say anything useful from what I know, he just makes toxicly masculine declarations, but he will send a Shuten hitman over if you're rude to him. I thought it could be a networking opportunity but mine didn't want to talk to me :(

The Daitengu probably confides in their own people, but they have said on the network that they're not exes with the Enma after someone asked them. There's no info on what happens if you try to interrogate him (that I know of).

The Enma doesn't talk to people in public at all but I guess he is the king of Hell after all. I think if you try to pry into him there will be lots of consequences too.

[sicklysweet]

why did you send a picture of a dog?

and what does toxicly masculine mean? that doesn't make any sense.

[Could he say thanks for the info? Yes. But he won't.

Also there are so many things Owen just doesn't know about, apparently, such as the concept of toxic masculinity.]

[baofeng]

The dog photo is a reaction image! It’s an easy way to communicate your mood or reaction, if you have a bunch of images you like saved. I have animal photos for general purposes, like:


[The captions roughly read, from left to right: “Are you looking for a fight?” “AH THIS-” “Oh, [this is] frustrating”]

Toxic masculinity is something like men thinking “manliness” means being aggressive and treating women badly.

[sicklysweet]

so you're just assigning feelings to pictures of animals because you can't be bothered using your words?

[Honestly? That idea slaps. He likes it.]

that's stupid. wouldn't the women kill them for that?

[baofeng]

It’s more succinct, and it can add entertainment value.

[you should try it owen it’s fun!!]

and uh

[“The women would just kill men who are rude to them” is, uh. It’s not wrong? Zetian does that and Yizhi thinks it’s entirely appropriate. He thinks she should do it more. But still, it’s an uncommon enough sentiment that it surprises him for a bit.]

In some places it’s a bit hard? But I’ve been hoping Madam Tenkohime snaps one day and beats up Toraguma. Hasn’t happened yet though and I don’t think it will anymore. :(
