[There's an extended period of silence over the communicator, then a rush of static. A faint sound of jingling is heard in the background, before that fades quickly, as well as the sound of paper moving around

Interesting is hardly the half of it.

[ksuriuri_san]

Oh?

I take it that... you had some trouble?

[kan_chyan]

Oh no, no trouble at all, running around ripping bindings caused by ofuda is just a walk in the park! Yes, yes I had some trouble.

Though, I found your scales to be the most irritating, I don't much like things following me around and pointing at me like I have a big giant X painted on my back in red.

[ksuriuri_san]

I see.

They do their job... rather well

don't they?

[kan_chyan]

So their job is to harass people with high spiritual powers?

[ksuriuri_san]

The scales... measure distance...

Between themselves...

And otherworldly phenomena.

I would say that despite the lack of control... They still did what they were created to.

[kan_chyan]

I see, what a lovely thing to have on hand. I've always had to just follow a trail, and see where it felt stronger.

Why do you have devices that measure such a thing?

[ksuriuri_san]

To find what they lead to... of course.

[kan_chyan]

But why would you, a simple medicine seller, want to find that?

[ksuriuri_san]

Ah... Now... that is the question.

[kan_chyan]

It is indeed, and it would be really nice if I didn't have to investigate it.

[ksuriuri_san]

Oh?

Well... But if it is your job to do so...

[kan_chyan]

It is in my best interests to understand the reason behind needing such a thing. And, after the past few weeks, I would feel much more comfortable understanding more to do with that.

[ksuriuri_san]

Would you?

They are for finding... Mononoke.

[kan_chyan]

I would.

Mononoke? Hm, I wonder how many of those are even here, even general youkai seem to be hard to spot here.

[ksuriuri_san]

So I have noticed.
