Girl: (@Athena) Don't worry about that... I just got a little careless. (fades away from the office.)

Damien: (sighs) I'm gonna miss her. (pause) You know what they say. When something's gone, you miss it the most?

-Looks off, wistfully....-

I know that feeling well.......

-He turns RIGHT to the manager and holds out his hand, the wistful look Immediately Gone-

Now, about my pay.

(Damien unlocks a safe and gives Reigen the pay. There's no strings attached or funny business with Damien at all.)

-HERE COMES THE MONEEEEEEEY-

-Reigen beams with satisfaction as he counts the bills and tucks them away. A perfectly smooth business transaction.....haven't had one of THOSE in a while-

Thank you for your patronage, Sir!

-He leeeeans in close and mutters-

...And, 'course, be sure to tell all your friends and co-workers about how well this job went....

Damien: I will, good sir. (calls up his friend and chats with her.) Well, Milli. These guys are the real deal. They got rid of the ghost and cleaned up the place to boot. (listening) You want me to send them over to your office this week? Great!

-Reigen smirks, and adjusts his coat lapels, putting on a Professional Face-

-....to mask the fact that he was GIDDY AS A SCHOOLGIRL EEHEEHEEE WORK WORK WORK MONEYMONEYMONEY-

...Here.

-He hands him a STACK of business cards-

My number's on my card. Pass them around! I'm ready and willing to help all those in spiritual need.

(Muramasa is, for the first time in a while, tending to a sword of hers)

(down in the basement, she's looking over the ultra-long Monohoshizao, standing in front of a rolled-up tatami mat)

There's a bunch of steel armor stuffed in the trash bins there... all that gone to waste...

. . .

Link hums to himself as he walks down the stairs, into the basement. He stops humming when he sees Mura, and says, "Morning."

...

(yeah. she was meaning to ask him about it.)

(sharp inhale)

Hiken!

(Mura throws two slashes at the tatami mat faster than a blink of an eye... doesn't seem like anything was cut, though)

He stops a good distance away from her, waiting for some part of the mat to fall apart.

...Whew.

(she looks satisfied, though, as she turns back to Link)

Hey, what's up?

Hey, you've got a hundred worse things you could walk in on me doing, and I probably wouldn't mind ninety of them.

(the 150-cm long Japanese sword vanishes in a flash of magical energy)

...Mwuh?

(blinks, having had a minor fit of absent-mindedness)

Oh, that? That's just a sword I made in life, or at least a replica of it. It doesn't have a proper True Name, but because it's so crazy long people started calling it the Monohoshizao - "the drying pole."

"Certainly haven't seen anything like that, where I'm from. Maybe a few that'd be able to wield it effectively, but — never a sword like that."

Makes sense. Shit's impractical for a real battle, and even duels. I just keep it around cause I liked the original.

Link takes a step towards the tatami mat.

"Doesn't look like it cut, though..."

#1306995: Mar 12th 2018 at 9:41:33 AM

Oh, wait—

(the vibration from Link's step shakes up the tatami mat's mount, imperceptible to the human eye... but enough to cause the mat to fall apart into three cleanly cut pieces, the top two of which fall to the ground)

...Aww, I was gonna make it all cool.

After a second, he chuckles.

"Sorry. Should've figured."

Hey, don't sweat it. Might not be a swordsman, but I've done test cuttings. I don't trust some random samurai to bring out my sword's full potential, even if they're the ones who end up buying it in the end.

Yeah, for sure. We're better than that steel-waster...

(...that's her "she knows." smile)

His face turns red.

"Y-yeah! Uh... screw that guy!"

Link was many things but a good liar when caught off guard was not one of those things.
