[This fucking guy... Okuyasu's sigh can be felt through the internet.]

try getting up before 3pm
& it's demon spiders so get your ass in gear

[satanslash]

[DON'T JUDGE HIM.]

blow me youre not my mom


oh
geez why didnt you say so earlier

[pursestrings]

[JUDGES HIM...EVEN OKUYASU GETS UP EARLY]

i thought u'd be UP BEFORE 3PM
cmon meet me by the well

[Does Rin know what he looks like? He'll figure it out.]

[satanslash]

[SLEEP IS THE ONLY COMFORT HE HAS RIGHT NOW. That and limited food that actually has flavor.]

OKAY MOM GOD
gimmie a few minutes

[Nope, but its not like a lot of people make a habit of hanging out by the well.]

[pursestrings]

what a shitty son
wake up n read the damn quests next time

[That's the only rule, Rin. That's it!! Okuyasu will indeed get up to head to the well... but they are both blue, so more likely than not they'll run into each other on the way there?! Okuyasu realizes this and, naturally, shouts at the first back of someone's head he sees.]

Oi!! That you, Sleeping Wiseass?

[hello]

[satanslash]

[Well maybe he wouldn't be such a shitty son if you weren't such a shitty mom!!!!

But, yes, their paths are likely to cross, and he's the only one wandering around with perpetual bedhead, a tail and a sword. Pretty easy to spot, especially in the thin crowds of Bluo.]

Better a wiseass than a dumbass.

[pursestrings]

[That's him... the sleepy wonder. Okuyasu grins despite this continued wiseassery, jogging the last few yards to catch up with him... and immediately going to whap him on the back of the head.

In a friendly way. This is the established dynamic, of course.]

Yeah yeah, at least I get up before noon. You ready for this?

[satanslash]

[Ow.

Yup. So friendly.]

As I'll ever be. It's really a demon?

[He hadn't sensed any demons in the town that weren't himself and Guren, but if they were hanging out in the forest it's possible they were out of his range.]

[pursestrings]

In the stories, sure. Here, I dunno, but the thing said go take one out and it probably wasn't talking about dinner.

[So, off they go. Rin with his sword and Okuyasu with his... nothing? The wooden sword he has to train with Nanjo isn't going to cut it (badum tsh) for this, so why even bring it?]

[satanslash]

[Planning on letting Rin do all the work?

Eh, he's used to that at least.]

Well, that's what I trained to deal with, so hopefully we can make short work of it.

[And not fail horribly like he and Kaoru did with the harpies.]

[pursestrings]

[Hey, he's got one whole trick, but actually remembering to mention it before it's happening is, hm. Not his forte! Anyway...]

No kidding? So you're not carrying a sword around for fun? Great.

[satanslash]

[This is going to be a mess, isn't it?]

Yeah. I've only been at it for like... a year, but I've gotten pretty damn good with it.

[Rin is also failing to mention that he sort of has powers attached to that sword.]

[pursestrings]

[Noooo... maybe. Who can say.]

Y'know, I wouldn't've pegged you for a sword guy.

[Because he's lazy, but Okuyasu doesn't need to say that.]

[satanslash]

[Rude. So rude.]

Didn't used to be. Like I said, only been at it a year. I sure didn't see myself becomin' an exorcist last year, either.

[pursestrings]

A what? You? No way.

[#DOUBT... exorcists probably have to get up early, and on second thought he's not entirely sure what an exorcist is. Does Rin's head spin all the way around? He might be misremembering that particular flick.]

[satanslash]

[Actually the cram school is after the normal classes, and he has to get up early for that anyway! Which is why Yukio is around because Rin would actually sleep through twenty alarms before even beginning to wake up.]

Yes, me. An exorcist. Y'know, people who deal with demons?

[Never mind that he is one. Has he told Okuyasu that yet?]

[pursestrings]

[oh so his head doesn't spin all the way around, good to know--]

Then I picked the best guy to come with me to fight spider chicks! [CLAPS HIM ON THE SHOULDER.... whether or not this is Okuyasu believing him is unclear, but endure it.] That's one hell of a part-time job, man.

[satanslash]

[No, he just lights himself on fire.]

Yeah, well... I've got my reasons...

[Reasons he's been questioning lately, along with so many other things he thought he understood and knew...

Right. Now is not the time to get locked up in painful memories and existential numbness. He straightens up with a toothy grin, trying for all the world to not look like someone who has been dealing with some seriously heavy shit back home.]

Pretty damn sure I'm the only exorcist around but that means I get the best jobs!

[pursestrings]

[that's Extra]

Uh huh, I bet. Demons n' stuff. [He can't relate to this, exactly? Demons and stuff? But sure - reasons.]

Well, we'll see how good you are at beating the shit outta demons real soon. C'mon, let's go find ourselves a whole... nest.

[Spiders don't build nests. Anyway, follow him boldly into the woods. His plan is just to walk straight until something happens.]

[satanslash]

[That's his life.]

... don't spiders make webs?

[Rin is a text book idiot and even he knows that.

But he's following, so there's that.]

[pursestrings]

Maybe they got a bunch of webs in a blob! Like a nest!

[You don't know!!!!] I thought you were the demon expert.

[satanslash]

Uh. Y-yeah! That's me! Demon expert Rin Okumura!

[Shit.]

[pursestrings]

[So there! He doesn't know where he was going with this, evidently, because after a pause he just says--]

...So d'you think it's nests or what? I can't see shit in here.

[satanslash]

[This is going swimmingly.]

Chill. If you get all worked up you're gonna get attacked.

[Demons targeting weakness and all that.

Since Okuyasu seems so concerned about light, though, Rin does finally take his sword out, a bright blue flame flickering along the blade and illuminating their immediate area.

Seeing nothing in their path, he sniffs the air. Nothing nearby, but that didn't mean they were alone here.]

C'mon.

[pursestrings]

Is that how it works? [Mr. Expert!! He's surprised at the sudden flame, but just raises an eyebrow as if to ask why Rin didn't light that sooner, shuffling aside a bit to let him take the lead.

Which is a little... questionable, after he just said that thing about being attacked, so,] You got the light.
