[ common sense.... he doesn't know what that is. he's too old for common sense!
nonetheless, hijikata should surely have enough for the basics! a food bowl, a water bowl, some toys, a fluffy dog bed... and, well, he can draw on his own kink collection for collars and leashes, right? if not, then the dog collars that tsuru brought over (as a joke) can perhaps be of some use.
so he watches as the list of medium sized dogs appears, pressing his finger against the screen to stop it from scrolling once he sees a certain breed. ]
Aah, look! It's a Shiba — those are familiar, right? [ shibas in many colors... brown shibas, black-and-brown shibas with the >:) eyebrows, and even this one funky-looking shiba with really long black socks on its legs! ] If you want one, we should go see one.
[ aren't you suppose to gain common sense the more you live... what the heck.
he nods. ]
Yeah, I use to see them sometimes...
[ Pretty nice dogs! if they were trained right they were pretty loyal dogs, so Hijikata's heard at least. he pauses for a moment, then points towards a picture. ]
That one has a pretty interesting pattern, don't you think? [ the one with the black socks! but then he huffs. ] I told you... We were just looking.
[ not when you've seen Rough Times for a thousand years... all of those common sense marbles? gone.
but that's interest, yes... definitely interest! hijikata can try to say all he wants otherwise! tsurumaru's eyes widen, because he's also taken a liking to that black sock pattern — it's not everyday that you see dogs like that, actually. ]
Aah, that one's pretty! I bet it's super cute, too.
[ it's perfect! this is it, this is the end of the pet hunt... their ideal puppy is here. ]
We can talk about which puppy is prettiest and still be just looking, you know.
[ huffing back! but obviously, he's going to scheme on going past "just looking". ] Anyway, how much is it? Is it too much?
[ sure, it looks cute... he's not going to say that out loud though! but still, he needs to meet the puppy in person before judging it too much. besides, looks are just looks..! no just kidding, looks are important to Hijikata (have you SEEN Hijikata, gosh).
but the Shiba's coat is definitely... interesting. ]
It's not too much. It's not like I spend my credits much anyway... I haven't checked my balance in awhile.
[ why does Tsuru keep talking about money and getting it though... LOOK! ] You're really insistent on this, aren't you?
[ it's not as if hijikata lives luxuriously, either, despite probably having enough credits to do just that. so now, he needs to treat himself!! and the first thing that he should treat himself to is a... pup. ]
Maaaybe I am, maybe I'm not! [ he wags a finger, but there's no denying that he is pretty insistent on it, though. ]
I know I put you through the whole effort of pinky promising, but if you wanted to go see it, I wouldn't... mind. Or, I could bring it here.
[ because this is cereal, maybe pet stores are much kinder here than in real life? who knows! maybe they'll let him bring the pup home, and then bring it back if he has to? ]
[ just because he might have a lot of credits doesn't mean it's okay!?
when you kind of grew up from a peasant family you don't really learn how to live luxuriously. you just kind of learn how to get by with the bare minimum and whatnot. which is what he prefers anyway? hard work always pays off! not like he was dirt poor, but they weren't rich either. they just lived their life.
Hijikata sighs. ]
I doubt it. Places that own pets are pretty strict, animals are expensive.
[ but who knows... ] I don't know if I should let you run off with my money anyway and- [ god damnit! damnit! Tsurumaru keeps distracting him! ] I keep saying it anyway... Just looking.
[ well, it's not as if they're looking into a pure pedigree dog and buying it gold-plated food bowls, or anything!! gosh, hijikata... lighten up a bit.
but tsurumaru grins, in that smug, knowing way that he's distracting hijikata on purpose. ]
Are we just looking, at this point? When humans have pets, they're much happier — and that helps them heal a lot faster.
[ he's watched a lot of animal shows lately, and he's learned lots of interesting (but mostly useless) facts!! at everything else, he shrugs his shoulders, because as much as hijikata's trying to say no... he'll fight through it. ]
Plus, why shouldn't you trust me with your money? If I ever want to use someone else's credits, I just put it on Mikazuki's tab.
[ when has Hijikata ever lighten up... the real q. ]
We are. So there's no point in asking such questions about how much it is and everything else.
[ he narrows his eyes. ] Does Mikazuki know this?
And besides, it's almost as if you think I can actually take care of a pet. Do you really think you can trust the demon vice-commander to do that?
[ was that sarcasm? was he being serious? who knows! although, still, as much as Hijikata tries to deny it if there's one thing he's good at is taking care of his troops at least. like a parent, almost. ]
[ at that, he sticks out his tongue and blows a very unhappy raspberry in hijikata's direction. boo!!! ]
Duh. He's so rich, he's always like "go wild"! And no matter how much I spend, he never runs out. It's insane.
[ mikazuki's wallet is limitless... why? tsurumaru doesn't know. but he can also do no wrong in mikazuki's eyes, apparently. ]
Well, the demon vice commander was very good at taking care of his... people, wasn't he?
[ 'people'... like, the members of the shinsengumi? it comes out kind of stilted, like a foreign word, but that's what tsuru's vaguely getting at. when all of your family groups die, you don't like using group words after that, like some sort of cursed voodoo family-killing magic.
but he smiles brightly, since he's super confident in hijikata's ability to care!! even if he's tsun. ] I'm sure it's no different with a puppy.
[ now Hijikata can't help but think Tsurumaru's kind of spoiled? well, he shouldn't be surprised at this... really.
but geez. he really can't deny that, can he? there's also no denying that the Shinsengumi was basically family so of course, naturally, he takes care of them with all his heart! he's not going to go deep and talk about the Shinsengumi now though.
he only runs a hand through his bangs before speaking again. ]
I'll think about it. Will that answer satisfy you enough?
[ at this rate it'll probably be easier to just surprise Hijikata with it, because he doesn't want to say yes. who can say no to a puppy after looking at its big ol cute puppy eyes anyway? ]
[ he was spoiled, but it came at a price; he would gladly give all of that up and go back to living a humble life and being owned by a samurai clan, because money can't buy you the admiration or respect of your owners...
there's a thoughtful tap at his chin, and after thinking it over, tsurumaru figures that that's as far as hijikata will go on this, so he feigns giving up. ]
I guess. For now, that's good enough.
[ he's definitely going to surprise him with it soon... maybe even within the next day? or in the next few hours? it's a mystery...
for now, though, mostly because he's been dying to know: ] But if you had a dog — yes, I know, but indulge me, okay? — what would you name it?
[ maybe Tsurumaru will experience the respect and humbleness from samurai again! even if it's from Hijikata... in his own little Hijikata way. his personality is basically akin to a moldy, old garbage bag sometimes but he takes the samurai stuff almost too seriously. maybe that's... something?
but finally... Hijikata won the battle. how long were they going back and forth about this? he doesn't remember.
and...
another question. ]
Ah, well... ... ... [ he thinks about it... thinks about it a lot! mostly because he never really thought about it? but... it doesn't take as long to come to a conclusion. when your thought goes from naming - searching for 'pretty' things (which in Hijikata's head pretty = nature), then to his poetry... ]
Ume... Perhaps.
[ yes... Ume! a very pretty flower to make a very pretty name, right? ]
[ even if hijikata overdoes the samurai stuff, tsurumaru will appreciate it, rather than finding it weird, because people who are steadfast to the samurai code aren't filthy and greedy and everything that he hates about humans as a whole... they're respectful, good people!
he'll give hijikata the false satisfaction of thinking he's won for now — although, tsurumaru was very much present during kashuu's online gossip corner, enough to make a possible connection between that name choice and a certain poem, in particular...
so he beams, as he recites off of the tip of his tongue — ]
[ there's almost this... small flash of horror, surprise across Hijikata's expression when he recites that. but he hides it quickly because no... he can't give Tsurumaru that satisfaction!
so he hides it by immediately furrowing his eyebrows and scowling at Tsurumaru. ]
Don't say that ever again or I'll cut off your tongue.
[ he crosses his arms and looks away. this mocking! he had enough of it! only Mikazuki truly appreciates his poems... that he's still incredibly shy about sharing. but even so... ]
Can't really think of anything else, though... [ ume is a good name??? it's a good name, he thinks. ]
puts your nose in my pocket, now you have no nose :O
[ he decides that needs to recite hijikata's poems more often, because the reaction that he gets is way too funny... but you know, tsukumogami body parts grow back!! they've been over this!! ]
Geez, you always say that — but would you really? It'll grow back, so feel free to deliver on that promise any time.
[ first he's into dog kinks, and now he's into amputation, apparently... humans never cease to amaze him. despite its questionable origins, ume is a nice name, and when he says it, it rolls off of his tongue in the way that a pet's name should, so he brightens. ]
Ume it is, then! You should get used to saying that name out loud, because soon enough, you'll be saying it a lot — especially if it pees on your floors and takes off.
[ the puppy's coming home, hijikata... don't fight it. ]
Yes, I'm serious. Unless you want me to do anything else - or more - I have plenty I can do to you.
[ huff!
... he needs to hide his Hogyoku book... he really does. maybe under his pillows. under his futon? somewhere Tsurumaru won't think of. he can never get his nose into that book. never!
and... nope, still scowling! damn, okay Hijikata. ]
Didn't I just tell you we're not buying any pet?
alright pack your sleeping bags we're going to church
[ his scowls have no effect! all that his words manage to do is to make tsurumaru lean forward, until his face is only a few inches away. ]
Is that so...? Then, why don't you go ahead and tell me? At this point, I'm going to think that the scariest thing you're capable of is saying that you'll cut off someone's tongue.
[ which is probably pretty scary for most people, but not when you're an ancient sword spirit... no, scratch that, it's probably also scary for a sword spirit, but not when you're one that loves to die.
anyway, hijikata may be difficult, but tsurumaru has the iron stubbornness of a child, so he won't give up easily. ]
And I'm telling you that we are. You can fight me all you want, but I doubt you'll get very far. [ his gaze slides over towards that cast, of course... ]
[ of course, in response to Tsurumaru leaning closer Hijikata will grab his chin and pull him forward. his own voice is hushed, like a whisper, but his tone is threatening. ]
Want me to bite it off instead? I heard if you do that, you can actually bleed to death.
[ Which... may or may not be true. he doesn't truly know. but hey! whatever! buuuut, he lets go because he's giving Tsurumaru another sour glare since he can obviously see Tsurumaru looking at his cast?
his pride is being threatened! ]
You can make fun of me all you want but I will make you regret it later, you know.
[ as of right now... he can just? threaten? sound dangerous? ugh... he really does sound like he's all bark, what the hell... he can't wait to get this damned cast off. ]
the purifying essences of church won't seep into you if you nap at home
[ ooh, that was good! it even sends a shiver down his spine, but mostly in anticipation, not fear, which is still... probably not the reaction that hijikata wants, anyway. slowly bleeding to death? hello, tsuru's here for this.
still, there's just one thing that he has to point out. ]
That's just like a really aggressive kiss, isn't it?
[ he knows that hijikata's into a lot of strange things, so he's not too surprised to see that bloodplay is apparently on that list of sin... the corners of his lips tug upwards, in a wry smirk. ]
But it's so fun to make fun of you. Plus, that means that I have an entire week to live, if we assume that you'll be better in a week. And once you deliver on all of your threats and kill me, I'll be gone for about... three days, or so.
[ he speaks lightheartedly, though, since he's just joking... well, he has to make preparations in advance for any future mishaps, so — ]
That's why we need the puppy — so that something can keep you company during that time.
[ that remark won't bother him... because, let's be real, Hijikata is pretty shameless? this was a man who shamelessly flirted with customers when he was younger - oh, and not to mention went to Shimabara a bit too much... to spend time with the geishas.
anyway...
he can only let out a sigh in disbelief. ]
I don't need company that badly to get a pet. Do I even look like a pet person to you?
[ don't say that, Hijikata... that just opens up the opportunity for more jokes... ]
would a demon vice commander burst into flames in church...
Maaaybe, if you'd be so kind as to indulge me. If you won't, though, then I won't get my hopes up.
[ damn... he'd expected to see more resistance than that, but hijikata's shame is just nonexistent. for mr. vanilla petplay and tears, he's pretty resilient against provocations.
but when he asks that next question, tsurumaru kind of... stares, like did he really just ask that, thinkig that tsurumaru would somehow give him the answer he wants? ]
Well, I mean... you make a lot of dog references, don't you? Even if it's in a different way, you've got to be a pet person.
I'll think about it. I'd rather kiss someone who doesn't defy me, you know - someone that behaves - it's a nice reward isn't it? Maybe if you clean up that behaviour of yours by the end of the week... I'll think about it.
[ also biting off someone's tongue does sound kind of gross, he'd rather cut it off? it's easier. kissing is something more romantic anyway.
he knew going the extra step and saying something like that wouldn't really scary Tsurumaru. what a hassle. ]
Well... [ honestly, he really is a pet person? he's just trying really hard to turn Tsurumaru away from going through with all this. ] Is that really any of your business?
well, no.... now we can nap on church's doorstep instead
[ BUT BEHAVING IS FOR LOSERS.... no, no, he can't say that out loud. only foolish people say that out loud. ]
You could give me some tips on where to start, you know. For all I know, your idea of "behaving" is someone dressed in a maid outfit, waiting on you hand and foot, telling you how pretty you look and how fearsome you are.
[ he may be a thousand years old, but his imagination is still going strong... he taps at his chin, feigning thought for a good three seconds, or so. ]
Well... considering how I've had to hear it before, I'd say it is some of my business. [ ah, yes... that behaving thing? it's way harder than he'd thought. but he gives hijikata a smile anyway, pushing forth another offer. ]
Just give it a try, okay? If it's too much, I'll just take the puppy back to the apartments — I'm sure the rest of the swords wouldn't mind taking care of it.
That's some imagination you have, but no. It's as simple as not causing me trouble, and listening for once.
You can do that for a week or two, right?
[ probably not.
Ah, well... he covers his mouth with his hand, thoughtfully. looks up, looks to the side... thinking, thinking.
it seems like he didn't stop Tsuru from not getting the puppy at all, but there's at least solution to this. because there's no way he'd get attached to a puppy.. haha. ]
...Hmm... [ he got an idea. ] Perhaps if you at least try to behave, then I'll give you that reward, and you can buy the dog. If not, then no. How about that?
[ he really wants to know what its like for Tsurumaru to behave for at least like... an entire minute?? come on. also bets are fun. ]
we're not going to church we're going to the doorstep and napping
[ a week or two is an eternity... and tsuru isn't too fond of behaving for a number of reasons — but primarily because his seemingly irresponsible behaviors are actually, in fact, calculated vies for attention: if he can make someone interact with him enough, they won't want to give him away.
so to give all of that up unnerves him a little, but it can't be too bad... right? he presses his lips together in a thin, worried line, but the expression passes quickly enough, mellowing out into something more familiar, like a childish frown. ]
That's no fun at all... but if that's what you want, then I'm fine with it — on one condition.
[ he lifts a finger. ]
Promise me that during this time, your opinion of me won't worsen.

Well, I mean... you make a lot of dog references, don't you? Even if it's in a different way, you've got to be a pet person.
probably... do u want to kill me gosh
[ also biting off someone's tongue does sound kind of gross, he'd rather cut it off? it's easier. kissing is something more romantic anyway.
he knew going the extra step and saying something like that wouldn't really scary Tsurumaru. what a hassle. ]
Well... [ honestly, he really is a pet person? he's just trying really hard to turn Tsurumaru away from going through with all this. ] Is that really any of your business?
well, no.... now we can nap on church's doorstep instead
You could give me some tips on where to start, you know. For all I know, your idea of "behaving" is someone dressed in a maid outfit, waiting on you hand and foot, telling you how pretty you look and how fearsome you are.
[ he may be a thousand years old, but his imagination is still going strong... he taps at his chin, feigning thought for a good three seconds, or so. ]
Well... considering how I've had to hear it before, I'd say it is some of my business. [ ah, yes... that behaving thing? it's way harder than he'd thought. but he gives hijikata a smile anyway, pushing forth another offer. ]
Just give it a try, okay? If it's too much, I'll just take the puppy back to the apartments — I'm sure the rest of the swords wouldn't mind taking care of it.
ugh i dont wanna go to church
You can do that for a week or two, right?
[ probably not.
Ah, well... he covers his mouth with his hand, thoughtfully. looks up, looks to the side... thinking, thinking.
it seems like he didn't stop Tsuru from not getting the puppy at all, but there's at least solution to this. because there's no way he'd get attached to a puppy.. haha. ]
...Hmm... [ he got an idea. ] Perhaps if you at least try to behave, then I'll give you that reward, and you can buy the dog. If not, then no. How about that?
[ he really wants to know what its like for Tsurumaru to behave for at least like... an entire minute?? come on. also bets are fun. ]
we're not going to church we're going to the doorstep and napping
so to give all of that up unnerves him a little, but it can't be too bad... right? he presses his lips together in a thin, worried line, but the expression passes quickly enough, mellowing out into something more familiar, like a childish frown. ]
That's no fun at all... but if that's what you want, then I'm fine with it — on one condition.
[ he lifts a finger. ]
Promise me that during this time, your opinion of me won't worsen.
