[Video] Rule 3

[oh_neku_dear]

[Joshua looks mildly amused, but to those who know him, they can see that he's a little tense from tightly restrained anger. Still, his voice is the same amused and pleasant tone.]Now, I hear that there's someone who goes by the name of 'Enjin' around here. He's done something quite interesting to a...friend of mine, not to mention stole

[Have a surprised-looking Touka.]

You want to talk to that Enjin bastard?

[oh_neku_dear]

Yep! Just a friendly chat~ I don't pull the first punch.

[girlpowertouka]

Okay. Just -- be careful.

[oh_neku_dear]

No problem~ I should be fine if I can get Mr H to assist.

[girlpowertouka]

Do you know about his powers and stuff?

[oh_neku_dear]

More information would be appreciated. I only got a very basic gist of it.

[girlpowertouka]

Right. Well, first of all, that's not his body. He's kind of possessing one of my best friends' brother's body. So......if you could try to avoid any permanent injury to the body, that would be great.

And he can also leave that body and possess someone else's, too. So be careful.

[oh_neku_dear]

We can try. Afraid I can't make many guarantees, but we will try.

[It was the least he could do for the info.]

Really? Hm...other than ripping one's soul out and putting it into another dimension, not to mention twisting someone's mind, what else can he do?

[girlpowertouka]

Well, just to make it really clear, if anything happens to that body, my friends and I are going to have a huge problem with that. I'd really like to avoid that.

[Yes, that is a very sweet, polite way of threatening. She picked up the cute smiling threat thing from Juri-san, after all.]

Well -- there's two sets of powers he has. His body's powers, and his own powers.

[oh_neku_dear]

My condolences, but he crossed the line. I'm sure you understand.

[He's not backing down, either, girly. Nobody messes with Neku.]

Indeed? What can he, himself, do?

[girlpowertouka]

No. Not really. While I certainly understand the desire to cause harm to that Enjin bastard, causing harm to that body isn't going to do anything to Enjin. He can easily leave it and get a new one to possess. Doing permanent damage that body is just doing damage to my friend Ao's big brother, and that's really not acceptable.

Although if you want to cause him pain with no permanent damage, that's fine.

Enjin is a Hiizumi -- in my world, there's two dimensions. One where youkai come from, and the one we live in now. One family holds the power to send people from one dimension to the other -- the Hiizumi family.

[oh_neku_dear]

[Joshua thinks about it for a second.]

Well~! Then we'll forgo physical damage if that's the case. I'm sure you wouldn't object to spiritual-level pain?

[A chin tap.] Speaking of spirits, what's the status on the brother's soul?

Hm. Interesting. And what could the brother do? I'm sure he has access to his powers as well.

[girlpowertouka]

Oh, no, not at all. In fact, if you need any help, we'd be happy to assist.

Gin's soul is still in there. Yae-san says so. Youkai powers are attached to the soul, so as long as that Enjin bastard still has Gin's powers, then Gin's soul is in there somewhere.

And Gin's a satori. He can read minds, and cast mind-interference -- which kind of implants suggestions in people's minds? He can make people see illusions, too. One time he had us all convinced that he was this old man dude. He can make a double of my friend Hime-chan's spear -- stuff like that. But it's all an illusion.

[oh_neku_dear]

I'll be sure to keep it in mind. Who else could I contact about it?

Two souls inhabiting one body, then? But it seems as though Enjin's is dominant.

Ah, so that's where he gets those abilities. How far away does he need to be from his target in order to use them?

[girlpowertouka]

Oh, well, Hime-chan. Hime Yarizakura. She's the mayor. And Akina-san. Akina Hiizumi. He runs the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office in the middle of town. That Enjin bastard is like Akina's relative or something from the other dimension.

Yeah. And definitely. We know Gin's still in there somewhere, but ---

You know, I'm not really sure. I've never really seen him use them out of his sightline -- but I don't know.

[oh_neku_dear]

Alright, I'll pass it along.

You don't know how deeply buried he is, correct?

Well! It just means we'll have to be careful.
