Ugh! I've had just about enough of this!

[ To the surprise of no one at all, Inuyasha is flashing his mean mug to the screen, sporting his usual scowl. No, he is not happy to be addressing any of you, but this is a matter of importance. ]

This is the third place this week that's tried to kick me out— where am I suppose to eat now, huh!? All the ramen shop owners have just up and disappeared all of a sudden!

[ He leans a bit closer to the screen, yellow eyes seemingly peering into your own. Yeah, he's talking to you specifically!! ]

All this backstabbing and lying about these damn whales is really pissing me off! So if you're the one causing all this mess, you better fess up! Do it or I'm comin' for you myself!

[ He puffs out a sigh before leaning away from the shellphone, still scowling. ]

You better not be holdin' out on any information about those stupid crystals, either. I'm gunna find the guys who did this, with or without anyone's help! So if you're thinking about doin' the same you better not slow me down.

[ There's a low grumble that follows... but is that from him or his stomach? Inuyasha groans, muttering something low yet audible under his breath: ]

My ramen...




[ Was he just hangry? ]

You know, you could just try to eat at places on your armada's home island.

(This sucks. Fortunately, they're enough of a regular at Daily Kneads that they're not getting kicked out of there, at least. They can live off pastries until this blows over.)

[ He's keeping it on video because Inuyasha barely knows how to turn this thing on, let alone change any features on it... ]

I've already tired that! But it's not just one place, it's all over! People are goin' missing left and right, and it's pissing me off!

[telepathicignorance]

Huh. In my experience it's mostly just been places refusing people from whatever armada the owners are opposed to, or being suspicious of non regulars.

You new?

[halfdog]

Yeah, I'm new. So what? That doesn't have anything to do with all these people just disappearing!

They let me eat there before, now they're turning people away at the door.

[telepathicignorance]

If they don't know you the shop owners are more likely to be suspicious.

[halfdog]

But I've already been there! Those stupid owners know me! They're suddenly acting all strange because people keep turning up missin'! Like hell I would do something like that.

[telepathicignorance]

Unless they know you really well, they can't tell that.

You got any friends who are able to go into restaurants without trouble? Could always ask one of them to pick something up for you.

[halfdog]

[ ....





Ah. ]

My... friends aren't here. [ There's a twinge of something in his voice, but he shakes it off. ] But maybe there is someone—

[telepathicignorance]

Alright. You might also be able to ask someone to go in and buy food for you if you trust them with your money.

[halfdog]

Hmm... guess I didn't think about that. Buy why'd they wanna give it to someone else and not me!? I'm the one tryin' to pay 'em!

[telepathicignorance]

Well, if it's someone that's more well known than you, they'll have more reason to trust them not to make trouble.
