[sekimorinashi]

[ She watches him silently, unmoving, for several long moments, and then something in her expression softens. Smoke coils through the air as she sighs, and she moves to sit next to him. Keeps her gaze forward, somewhere far off. ]

That so? Don't everyone wanna help them?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ He huffs slightly. ]}
—No.
Some people want justification for those they killed in their war. They want to kill more in the name of the Dakal people.

_{[ He scratches his head, avoiding eye contact with Tsukuyo. ]}

All they were trying to do is protect each other.
That is the only thing worth fighting for.
_{[ And now, they may not survive with both of the goddesses soon to perish. ]}

This isn't helping them.
This is interfering with their war.
_{[ And it's ALASTAIR's fault for bringing them here. ]}

[sekimorinashi]

[ A sigh. ]

Then they're delusional.

With that thinkin', we might as well just blow up this whole world while we're at it.

[ She understands it, but that seems to come from the idea that the Dakal were completely innocent in the whole ordeal. A war doesn't have something like good and evil. Killing the Nalawi ... That's simply pointless. It doesn't get them anything except "justification" for people who are already dead.

And not at the hands of the Nalawi, but at the hands of their goddess.

Even Pomarr only wants her people back. She doesn't seem in a rush to murder any deer. ]

I'm with you.

[ She can't say she has any particular attachment to the Nalawi, but she only came in at the end.

Something Gintoki considers worth protecting probably is. ]

[naturallywavy]

<sub>[ It's a tight spot and for once (well, not exactly once, but it's been awhile), Gintoki isn't sure what to do in a situation like this. A job is a job and he's done plenty of strange and even "wrong" things for the sake of a job as a freelancer, but..
He doesn't want to contribute to anymore pain. That would make him a villainous character! Gin-san is nothing like that. In fact, his heart is aching for this predicament they're in, and he honestly can't wait to get back to Oska and just snuggle into Sadaharu's fur.

Really. He can't wait to just go back home.
It's been exhausting. He was here, and then he wasn't— he went back home for a good long while— and right after the Shogun's passing, he ended up here again.

Why.
If he has to be here, can't the rest of the Yorozuya be here too? ]</sub>

I think it's time we start caring about who is in charge of all of this.

[sekimorinashi]

[ Now if that's who Tsukuyo thinks it is, then funnily enough that's exactly what she came here to talk about. ]

Whaddya think about ALASTAIR, then?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ It's really hard to say. There isn't much information about ALASTAIR themselves, but Gintoki figures he probably knows more than Tsukuyo. ]}

—They're not the heroes they think they are.
_{[ That's for certain. ]}

[sekimorinashi]

[ She hums quietly in thought, as she leans on one knee and turns her gaze to the sky. To the sun that's now shining. ]

So what do we do about them? Can we do anything about them?

[ She's already uncertain about this whole ... meddling in other worlds' affairs thing. It doesn't seem quite right. What authority do they really have? Who gave them that authority? ]

[naturallywavy]

I'm sure we can, but y'anno.
It's effort, doin' crap.

<sub>[ That's not his real reasoning for not doing anything about it. Rather, he doesn't know who to talk to about this. They're mysterious– these ALASTAIR people.

A beat. He'll be serious, he guesses: ]</sub>

We can't unless we know more about'em.

fails at being consistent with her accent wow

[sekimorinashi]

[ She huffs quietly.

Effort. Of course. ]

Then we'll have t'find out more about 'em.

patpats

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Tsukuyo is right, only because Gintoki has thought of this already. But.. how? They don't even know who is "in charge" so to say. ]}

How nice if you volunteer to find out everything about them and report your findings back to me so I can heroically get to the bottom of this.
_{[ ok maybe he isn't being serious (or is he???)
Please hit him, Tsukki. ]}

lies down

[sekimorinashi]

[ This little shit.

She doesn't move from her seat, as she drives a curled fist into his forehead. ]

I ain't volunteerin' for anythin', ya lazy bastard.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Why. Why such violence. He has never met a more violent woman in his entire life. Thankfully, he's learned to either react dramatically at her outbursts or ignore them entirely. This is one of those ignore them entirely situations. ]}

Guess it wouldn't hurt to start with those talking cats. They seem to know what was up.
I hate cats.
_{[ but gin.. u are a cat. ]}

[sekimorinashi]

[ Because brackets, mostly. Blame your gorilla. ]

Sure ya do.

Does anyone know what's up?

[naturallywavy]

Only vague enough details like everyone else. Nothin' helpful.
Why should I work for somebody I don't know crap about?

<sub>Why should I even work?

[ that part is muttered, but you know. She probably hears it. ]</sub>

[sekimorinashi]

[ She huffs. ]

Is anybody forcin' ya? Do they do anythin' if ya just don't bother?

[ She knows you, Gintoki. You still accept the missions because you hope that you'll actually be able to help. Because this is precisely the thing you usually do.

It just seems that ALASTAIR works a little differently. Where Gintoki would topple governments and fight nature and time itself if necessary to try and get his way, ALASTAIR is more concerned with something like a bigger picture. From what little she knows of them.

That isn't at all how Gintoki operates.

She wonders if there's a right or wrong in any of it. ]

[naturallywavy]

<sub>[ A pause— a pretty good one, actually. He was hoping that maybe the better they did on this missions the sooner he would get to go home.

Home to Edo.
Home to the city and the people he loves so much. ]</sub>

—It's just part of the job.
I don't back out from any jobs, no matter how big or how small.

<sub>[ even though he was complaining earlier, it's obvious he didn't mean any of that.
She doesn't need to know (though she may have an idea) of how much he misses where he belongs.

In the city he is destined to protect. ]</sub>

[sekimorinashi]

[ Of course she has an idea. If you spend any extended amount of time around Gintoki, you can see how much love he has for Edo, for Kabuki-chou, for the people around him. She wonders if there's anywhere he could really feel as home as he does there.

Even from her point of view, he seems out of place in Nalawi, even if he easily makes odd friends wherever he goes. ]

So stop whinin'.

[ Of course she knows it wasn't serious. Doesn't make it not annoying.

Whiny baby. ]

[naturallywavy]

Maybe I will if you'll help me.
_{[ .. And we can go back home together. ]}

After all, I just know doing Odd Jobs with.. company.
_{[ The company of his underlings.
The two people that make him feel alive. ]}

[sekimorinashi]

Didn't I already say I'm with ya?

[ What else would that mean? Of course she'll help him.

Considering all the times he's helped her, she can't just say he's on his own. Especially since they only have each other, here. ]

1.2

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Gintoki looks over at her, his lips curving into a warm smile. Isn't that nice. ]}

—Thanks. I knew I could count on you...

[naturallywavy]

To do all of the hard work.

[sekimorinashi]

No.

[ Not hitting him this time but, seriously, don't tempt her. ]

If anyone's doin' all the hard work, it's you.

[ She outranks you. Even if you've never worked under her, when it comes to investigations, she's the police chief. You're just the boss of an odd jobs store. ]

[naturallywavy]

Ah, what's this? You're saying I'm hardworking?
Geez. I never thought I'd have you as my subordinate.

_{[ the hard worker is the boss, right? You're gonna call him boss..!? ]}

[sekimorinashi]

No. I'm the one who tells ya what to do, and you do it.

[ That's how it works.

Sure, she also does some hard work herself, but her main job is telling her troops where to go and advicing them on what to do. ]

[naturallywavy]

....





Well, that sucks. You seem like you'd be awful to work for.
_{[ please why does he talk.. ]}
