[ The scene is familiar to most of the Shuten Clan at this point. It's Toraguma's office at the Arena, the wall behind his desk covered in ornate and fancy looking weapons, as well as a giant sake gourd kept in a glass case right behind his chair. It was the symbol of the clan's namesake, the legendary magic gourd of his former master.
Toraguma himself looks... sweaty. Like he's just come from a workout. Or was just eating himself into a sweat, again, as he likes to do. ]
Listen up, you dogs!
[ Oh, and he's yelling, that's familiar, too. ]
The Night Parade is gonna be happening at the beginning of next month!
As you've seen from all the work you've been doing so far, it's a pretty big fuckin' deal! And I want MY guys to show our pride out there when the celebrations start!
We're gonna have a sumo ring set up, and I want all of you guys to muscle up and show this city your mettle! Prizes to those who win, obviously, but if any one with Shuten Clan credentials loses a match, I'm gonna dock your fuckin' pay!
[ Yeah, that sounds about right. ]
And remember to have fun, damnit!

The gourd behind me once belonged to the Shuten that I remember... live up to that name, and maybe you'll get it back.

Ooh, promises, promises~! Have you kept that old thing this whole time, Toraguma? So sentimental. Tell me ...
[ she figures she knows the answer to this one, though ]
... have you taken a sip since that day?
no subject
... No. It's been fermenting this whole time.

[ show her those tears, toraguma. it'd make up for having to deal without her dear sake and her powers. ]
Such a sweetie.
[ her voice drops to a tender low, coiling like snaking fog on the ground. ]
I bet it tastes even more divine now. When I finally come to take it back ... let's have some together, okay?

[ Whether or not it would... he didn't really want to allow himself to hope. ]

Oh, and I know she's one of your own, but ...
Try not to go too easy on Ibaraki, alright? She's never going to stop. I'll come pick her up after all's said and done.
[ translation: knock her out and she'll be there to reassemble the pieces later. ]
no subject
[ Those words came a bit sternly. ]
What happens to that one is my responsibility alone.
no subject
[ with a sigh, she pulls away from the camera. ]
You're making a lot of work for me, dear ... And for yourself.
[ such a weight on those big, blue shoulders. ]
Still, in the end, it's harmless advice, nothing more.
no subject
We'll see.
[ He ends it there, as he can already hear the ruckus Ibaraki is making on her way to his office. What a pain... ]
