Week 4

Week 4

Sunday - Thursday

You've lost four in the past week—Machias, Vanitas, Natalia and Edna. Just in time for the fourth week to roll around, for those of you who are superstitious. But it really isn't like you could forget that death is a common occurrence in this castle, whether you believe in legends or not. Some of you might find solace in the chance to recuperate and move on, if you're still up for companionship with your fellow warriors.

Either way, dawn is soon upon the castle and like it or not, you will all have to face whatever comes this week.

Like before the pattern repeats itself, with new areas revealed for you to explore. It may be that something worth discovering lies in wait to be found, or you can simple enjoy the new additions for what they are. Distractions are most likely welcome, regardless of your feelings of the past week.

[ majima is here, wearing a giant parka, hunkered down inside of it. it's nice...comforting, almost? yeah. nice. ]

My brother could take any of ya, no problem. Fuck, he'd be better at this shit than me.

[buddyoldpal]

I'd kill ta meet him, not gonna lie.

[ Ah... Saejima. He sounds great. ]

Wouldn't trade 'im for ya in a million years, though!

[maddogs]

[ majima would trade himself for saejima tho every time. ]

Ya'd love ta fight him, I bet. He'd beat the shit out of you, though.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Let your oath brother live, Majima...... ]

All the damn better! If he's strong enough ta kick yer ass, I wanna meet him extra. Ya know how much I love strong guys, pal.

[maddogs]

[ exactly majima can die so he can live that seems right, right??? ]

He's the strongest guy I know.

[ he points at the oversized parka ]

This is his! He's fuckin' huge.

[buddyoldpal]

[ STOP...... though that does explain the huge jacket ]

Shit, ya weren't kiddin' when ya said he was a fuckin' mountain, were ya?

[maddogs]

Exactly!

[ he looks so happy. this jacket was a really nice gift. the motive has apparently been lost on him at this point ]

I know he's takin' care of my Family, ya know? There's no point to worryin'.

[ majima say, worrying internally. ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Thanks, Sage-chan, for the cute gifts, tbh. ]

Yeah, I'm sure he's got it all under control, pal! Badass guy like that ain't gonna just let yer family slack off cause yer gone.

[ You definitely wouldn't have brought it up if you weren't worried, pal. ]

[maddogs]

Yeah, an' I mean, my members, they care.

[ majima definitely does not quite comprehend the level to which his family is devoted to him but thats ok ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ It's super cute and they all love Majima and he deserves it. ]

Bet they can't wait fer their boss ta come back to 'em, huh?

[maddogs]

[ majima blushes ]

Maybe.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Majima!! blushing!!! what could be better than this?? ]

Aw, ya don't gotta be modest, pal! Ya didn't get the biggest family in Japan cause they don't like ya!

[maddogs]

Nah, 's 'cause they're idiots with no where else ta go!

[buddyoldpal]

Idiots like that are the best guys ta have! Once ya got their loyalty, they'll follow ya fer life!

[maddogs]

Feels like it somedays.

[buddyoldpal]

It's true! Don't need brains ta be in the yakuza, ya just need that shit ta get to the top. Plentya guys're happy bein' flunkies if it gives 'em a family, ya know?

[ Unless your name is Yoshitaka Mine ]

[maddogs]

[ oh no you found something hes Serious About ]

Havin' that stability's important. That's what me an' Saejima wanna build. Place for kids who don't got alternatives.

[buddyoldpal]

[ This is cute, he's getting to see why Majima made it to the top of the Tojo Clan ok. ]

Yeah, just like that. [ He smiles. He falls in love with Majima all over again when he says that kind of thing. ] Shit like that's why yer so great, Majima.

[ So pure...... ]

[maddogs]

Ah? No, it's just -- it's just how it is.

[buddyoldpal]

It's a damn good goal ta have!

[ His smile turns into a grin. You're so cute, Majima! ]

Yer buildin' a community, not just fuckin' around.

[maddogs]

'course I'm not fuckin' around. 's important job.

[buddyoldpal]

Don't I know it, pal.

[ Nishitani puts his chin in his hands. Tell him more about how you're doing good work and how your life is super important because it makes Nishitani so happy to hear that the life he saved went to such good use. ]

I'd sign up for yer family in heartbeat, don't matter if yer Tojo Clan or what.

[maddogs]

[ that gets majima to laugh - happy at first, and then sad. ]

I would've joined yours.

[ that's the joke. it's how his life always is, right? one cruel joke after another? ]

[buddyoldpal]

Ya woulda made a great Omi man, Majima.

[ It's true. Even with his fake kansai accent, he had the heart for it. ]

I'm just happy ya found a place in the yakuza where ya could carve yer own path. Sounds like yer real happy.

[ I mean IT DID UNTIL JUST NOW... ]

[maddogs]

[ ok look. his kansai accent is MUCH IMPROVED even saejima says so. ]

Mm. But it ... [ for a moment, he looks like he might give up from what he was saying and then he burrows deeper into saejima's parka, and drops his voice so only he and nishitani can hear. theyre at the incentive meeting after all. ] Don't matter now, huh? Doubt we're gettin' home.
