The Star Trail had always been among one of his favorite places to do some shopping. He never was fond of supermarkets- he never liked things that were the same no matter how many times you went. The Star Trail was different every time he saw it. Maybe not in products, but in people. He couldn’t deny this island attracted some strange people.

There were so many people, and, maybe some of them were just like him in a way. So, when he’s shopping like this... He really can’t feel lonely. Even when he wants to.

During one of his visits, he finds an eccentric looking man fawning over some sweets. And, on closer inspection, he can understand why. For a couple of lollipops, they were immaculate. Prepared with heart. The way all desserts should be.

“Cute. I’m sure the little guys over at the Fox Village would like this.”

It had been awhile since he had visited that village... Maybe he should drop by and play for a while. 

Since he’s already feeling charitable, why doesn’t he just...

“... Two bags full, please. For me and my buddy.”

It’s an impulse buy, but his wallet can handle it... He thinks. To establish this impromptu closeness, he wraps an arm around Ramuda’s shoulder like an asshole.

||  █ ▌— oh, ramuda amemura is a bit of a surprise, isn’t he? hifumi doesn’t share ( or, really, completely understand ) jakurai’s dislike of the younger man, but he’s not likely to say as much. he tries to stay in sync with the doctor, though, and that includes suspicion toward those he dislikes. still, hifumi has no reason to be anything but his normal, pleasant self, and so he waves, hesitant.

Hifumi had seen a lot of strange things in his time here. 

But waking up in a totally different place from your bedroom, fully dressed and thrown in front of what seemed like a live studio audience for some sort of reality show...definitely took the cake. And it wasn’t even like he had never been on a studio set before! Usually someone just have him a little bit of a heads up before he had to show up.

...and actually told him he was showing up to something.

At least they were kind enough to give him his jacket. 

Taking a better look at where he had wound up...it looked like he was on one half of a divider wall, sitting in a chair with two other people sitting next to him. And-

Wait. Wait, he recognized one of those other people.

Welcome back!

It almost felt like he was back in Shinjuku here.

...almost.

Yotsutsuji had found himself looking into the first ward in Spirale today, which just looking at it was already an adventure in itself. A large, winding canyon with large skyscrapers built around it...and...in it? 

While the skyscrapers were a familiar sight, they were definitely more futuristic than he was used to seeing. Especially the more he went into the city. It felt almost too sleek and surreal, but that’s what made it appealing too. The buildings were a lot more jam-packed with one another. Far too much, in certain spots.

So even if the more advanced technology was interesting...it would probably be better to explore around the outskirts, where it wasn’t as busy. And that lead to...a more mechanical looking area, but that was just as interesting. Probably because it looked more like it was supposed to be a neighborhood, with houses and various little shops.

It was cute, but what he really didn’t expect was for one more similarity to pop out in the form of familiar pink hair. Sure, he wasn’t wearing his usual hat or outfit but...that was definitely him, right...?

Well, there was one way to find out. Even if he was still suspicious of him...it was best to talk to the people he knew in this situation.

BEGONIA - How cautious is your muse? Are they prone to noticing red flags,   or paranoid to the point of untrusting most everyone? Why or why not?

Yotsutsuji is fairly cautious - because he must be. He was born and raised in the midst of a world war, went on to work in war zone hospitals that could be - and were - targeted by terrorist organizations or radical military groups. The war took from him his parents, and gave to him another. The war took his ability to walk, which he had to relearn. It took a lot of things from him, which he had to regain, and it was out of fear for losing them again that he had to learn what was safe and what was not.

He has an analytical mind, and approaches things as such. If something someone says or does comes off as unnatural or inappropriate for the situation, he sees it as a red flag and looks into things. He researches and researches to assure that he just isn’t imagining things. 

He is not so much untrusting and paranoid, so much as he is cautious and careful, assuring that he and the people around him are safe first and foremost. Even if it means looking into those that might be considered friends or allies.

MINT - Does your muse view themself as virtuous & moral? What do these words mean to them?

This is a complicated question. Yotsutsuji sees himself as a rational person, who acts in terms for what leads to the greater good. He compiles information and scans it over, assessing and reassessing what leads to the best outcome. 

While he sees his actions as good and just - completed for a solid reason - he doesn’t particularly see it as virtuous. Looking into people can lead to digging up some unsavory secrets they might not want others to know, after all, and it can hurt those around him.

He does not mean to hurt - but he is cautious by nature and does what he thinks it the best to do. Perhaps it’s something that is more virtuous in the outcome than it is in the process. 

ROSE - How much does your muse value other people? Do they wish to have many friends, lovers, and/or associates? Are they an easy person to love?

Yotsutsuji values other people above his own well being, first and foremost. He is constantly looking out for his adoptive father, assuring he has the information and materials he needs to be successful. To have the motivation needed to keep moving forward. His interest in medical studies was for the same reason - while it certainly started as simply wanting to be more useful for Jakurai, he does enjoy it all quite a bit and has hopes of becoming a doctor one day as well so he can continue helping people.

He doesn’t feel he needs a whole army of friends or lovers or anything along those lines to be happy. Just a select few people who make him smile and laugh are all he truly needs - and he’s happy to have those people by his side. In terms of loving him, well...

He’s never asked.
