un: weaseling
so bumble got me thinking
well first of all maverick's the "cafe" run by (you fucking guessed it) maverick (that's me) will still be just inside the lum dorms for weekdays even though there'll be fucking cameras around I guess
no more popsicles since that one asshole took off and won't answer his fucking phone but there's plenty of hot chocolate, temp tattoos, and bumble has so graciously agreed to provide cookies on occasion.
the tats are kinda in limited supply but hey that's what markers are for
and if you want someone educating on tattoos, it's gotta be me I'm great
all this cafe shit is supposed to be for rounding up loose kids but if you need a sugar rush I ain't gonna stop you
unless like...it sounds super fucking funny at the time
anyway second of all, the part she actually got me thinking about
I checked with Mama and she said the camera crew is staying somewhere else so her base has space
if you need some time (like a couple days) minus a kiddo or they just can't fucking be around during that tv shit because they look or act like a freak show
reserve a room at INN OF ATROPOS
weirdo-friendly, respects your privacy, nice as shit, food's kickass, the manager's a total babe, you get the idea
normally she'd super fucking frown on just dumping a kid at her doors but she gets this shit is kinda a weird circumstance
also let it be known I will literally bash your fucking head in if you fuck up Mama's inn, whether that you is big or little just saying

sorry, ramona. cw? snakes
I don't think he'll ever trust me like that, but maybe I can help him find someone who does! I'm not really a good listener either, but I think I'm starting to understa-
[His breath hitches in this throat and he barely has time to register that he's going to have a seizure in Maverick's mother's office before it happens. Visions have the worst timing lately...
He's in the giraffe's amphitheatre in the woods at night, but it's no longer in disrepair. It has neon strobe lights illuminating the stage. The giraffe is nowhere to be seen, but someone is in the middle of the stage. A shadowy figure that the light doesn't touch. It's quiet. There aren't any birds or insects or any typical forest noises. He can hear scratching of some sort. Getting closer to the stage, he knows what it is. The shadowy figure is drawing something on the stage floor with chalk. He can make out some star shape in a circle and writing, Latin maybe, around it. The figure is making the finishing touches. It stands and raises its arms in triumph. The neon lights stop the strobe effect and all shine down on the drawing and cast light over the figure; it's Kano. He's smiling, an evil smile? Something Toki hasn't seen before. Kano laughs while shadowy tendrils weave out of the drawing. It's a sigil. He's summoning something. The tendrils take on snake-like features and wind around Kano's legs. Hissing loudly, they keep coming. The lights flicker again, the hissing stops, and the snake demons pull Kano down through the circle like it's a portal. It's daylight suddenly. The sigil is gone, the forest sounds are back, and the amiphitheatre is once again falling apart. He hears the giraffe's voice from somewhere behind him, saying "I don't understand."
... It's a long vision and when the convulsions stop, he's still too disconnected to try and get up yet. He wants to, but his body won't obey his brain. Toki also attempts an apology to Ramona for a bad end to a first impression; nothing comes out of his mouth but foam.
no subject
Take your time. Don't try to get up just yet. Just breathe and try to relax. When you can speak, I need to you tell me if you're a Seer or if this is medical.
no subject
Seer. I'm sorry! I just- it's- I'm sorry!
[He doesn't know what to say, and he's never coming back to the inn again. But she has something else to worry about right now. He's still ignoring Ramona's presence for the most part; finding his phone and sending a text to Maverick.]
hey maverick!
with your mother!
had a vision about kano!
i think he summoned a daemon!
[Toki finally turns his attention to Ramona.]
Anyway! Uh, thanks for talking to me~! Hot chocolate and someone to listen to him! I'll remember that~!
no subject
what the FUCK mousie
[Ramona, too, is looking a little lost for words. She's reached to grab a paper and pen, but the sudden ashamed(?) insistence gives her pause. Well... Maybe he just needed to get going? Maybe the vision was something happening really soon, or right now? Kids and their phones, it wasn't like they really needed to write their visions down by hand anymore, anyway.]
Of...course? Don't be afraid to stop by again, when you get the chance. I don't get to meet my son's friends often. [this is awkward now oops] Good luck?
no subject
Thank you~! I'll stop by again~! It was nice to meet you~!
[She'll never see him again. He leaves her office and and runs all the way back to campus before he answers Maverick's text.]
i think kano was taken by daemons!
no subject
WHY FUCKING ARE YOU WITH MY MAMA
what do you mean you THINK he summoned a daemon
did he fucking do it or not!
fucking hell
what did she say?
she being mama I fucking mean obviously
what the fuck is wrong with you, going to fucking bother her
[But at that point he figures out he's not going to get anything yet and calls Ramona instead. At least his memory wasn't being crap anymore, from the sound of it. There's just all that other stuff to be stressed about OH HEY it's Toki again.]
what use would a fucking daemon have for him??
why would he ever fucking summon one he's not THAT stupid
no subject
it's not important why!
because he drew a sigil first
before the snake daemons ate him or whatever!
i don't know WHY they want him!
maybe it's just symbolism!
no subject
wait did it look like the doc's or some teacher's or anything?
no subject
they all look the same to me!
i'm going to the library to research snake daemons!
no subject
[...wait. Research and Kano... There's something he can look into, too, if he can get in Kano's room and not freak the tiny Shuuya out.]
you really think he'd do it?
no subject
i do!
i think he already did before too!
because he has red eyes!
he tried to tell me that doesn't mean anything,
but i think it does!
no subject
he has red eyes?
no subject
yes!
now that i think about it though,
kano's right! red eyes are just supernatural
and not necessarily daemon related!
no subject
I guess princess got red eyes too and he was just born that way I fucking guess
not impossible
[But his insides are twisting and growing claws and trying to eviscerate him from within. Did Kano really...? Why would he do something like that?
Because he's scared and angry and wants to hide. Isn't he already hiding enough? Did he really need to go and get himself swallowed up by a snake and disappear from their lives? Fucking extra piece of shit. Mav needs to punch him, but he's not around.]
no subject
who's princess? are you SURE he's a normal human?
yuya has red eyes too and he's normal-ish, but hes a tamer!
and minako i think has red eyes and she's a tamer too!
it's a whole thing!
[A stupid conspiracy thing that probably isn't true and just a coincidence.]
no subject
being colorblind is the worst]
princess is my roommate
think he's just a candle
no subject
anyway! i'm going to research snake daemons!
i'll let you know if i find any sigils that look like the one in the vision!
[He's also going to turn off his phone, because it's a distraction.]
