Kaz is doing fine. He's not in some sort of strange state of simultaneous shock and happiness, that'd be crazy talk! ... okay, he's in a state of weird shock with how weird his life has gotten in the last two weeks, let alone last few days. It's probably fine. Kaz can be found:

1. In his personal office at 'Infernal Mysteries' filling up a suitcase. You either have an appointment or you're dropping in on him unexpectedly. Either way, it's the same stuff: Clothes, a wicked looking axe, some sort of tactical gear, ingredients that seem like they could be used to make bombs... The suitcase is clearly not normal.

2. At Flamvell, getting a steady stream of food and carbs and, weirdly enough, just mostly low alcohol beers that he's treating like most people treat water. He seems more... pensive than usual. Like he's got alot on his brain.

3. Out and about, jogging through the park, working out at a gym, or even some agility course. He absolutely still 'has it' though he seems a bit slower than the last time he was really active.

"Damn. I'd like to try and get my hands on a whole one and pass it to my occult expert. Which means I'll probably have to get my hands on one through LDS' collection... And I got a feeling they won't hand them over if I ask nicely. I'll figure it out."

"It's a big mess, but you're not alone in it Mamoru." He reaches out and gently pats his friend on the shoulder. "I get it though. The long version is usually the best way to go, especially with me."

*he didn't really expect the physical contact, but he's. a bit happier for it.*

Honestly, the past six months in general have been... extra strange for me. But I appreciate the support. Really.

*he takes another drink, letting out a sigh* ... I punched Failnaught during all of it. I think you missed me dealing with all of that. I think that was the only satisfying thing that's happened the past half-year.

He nearly chokes at the mention of you punching Failnaught, managing to keep most of his drink in his mouth.

"You punched Failnaught? I would pay money to have watched that happen, damn." He pauses. Knows what the punch was probably about. ... and that he may need to check in on Failnaught soon. "But we'll make the rest of the year try to be less strange.

You should come over for dinner at some point and bring Akira, actually."

Heh. Funnily, both Labrys and Aegis seemed to think that was a good move. So maybe it was just a long time coming for him.

... But you know what? Yes, I'll do that. I'll bring Akira by for dinner, sometime. It's getting warmer out. Something... more in line with "normal" might help a lot. *well, as normal as normal can be.*

Yes, a normal dinner with a normal family.

"Sometimes you need a good hit to get yourself straightened out. But yeah, I'll prepare the family to be on their best behavior for a few hours."

He considers for a few seconds before he continues.

"Gwen's about as good with weird shit as I am, but Helen and Eira are different, so there’s a pretty good possibility that they may end up playing a 'I know that you know that I know' game with whatever's in Akira."

*... taking a bite of his fried food before answering that* I accept the risks of that.

And maybe I can tell then if he is aware or not, if he picks up on any of it.

But hopefully you'll inform them to not press too hard on anything odd that's sticking out to them. And to not pop out of weird places anymore.

"The popping out is stopping, thankfully. What it's gonna be replaced with is gonna be worse, but here we are. I think they've learned subtlety, so it should be easy for them to maybe look weird at him, but not cause a scene at all. And then we can see.

Two birds with one stone. Any particular dishes you really like? I've gotten really good at cooking."

Really, you? I thought it was your eldest who was the real cook in the family, given this place.

I usually end up eating a lot of quick meals, anyway. But since it's getting warmer out... something grilled would be nice. *so steak. chicken. fish. probably wouldn't be too hard.*

::She's knocking on your door frame.::

Penny for your thoughts?

::When'd Kuroko get a hair cut and a red streak in her hair.::

"Ya got an appointment? Ah, whatever. Come in."

Kaz continues packing his bag, considering a katana. He squints at it, then sets it in sideways.

"Can I help ya young lady?"

You know, it's probably around the time that I ended up with void twins. I've stopped questioning things.

"In this economy? At least a fiver." He looks up, looking a little harried still.

"'S a good look for ya. I know this is almost a swanky place, but I'm surprised you're still working here."

Thanks. Decided I wanted to stop looking like I was a teenager.

::Runs a finger through her hair.::

... I haven't really felt a reason to stop, unless you've got a better suggestion. Though, joint's quiet enough and I get to punch people occasionally, so it's fine.

"Came with the 'trying to be a good dad' territory. Love Gwen to death, but she just ain't got the aptitude for it. Don't worry, Gina still beats me by a mile, but I ain't bad." He grins as he considers the options and nods.

"I can do that, some grilled fish and veggies..."

Sounds fine by me. Just set a day, and we'll be there.

... Does nearly 30 count as 'young lady'?

::Squinting at the Katana. ... Domino is really lax with weapon laws.::

"Not really. I'd prefer to work at a place like this than most anywhere else. Just figured you'd be doing stuff with your sisters or in the business world, honestly."

"For me, yeah. I'm nearing... jeez, guess I'm near sixty? At least that's my best guess."

He doesn't look much over 35. He notices your squinting at the katana and grins a little.

"Packing for a little work trip, so unless your job's gonna be really pressing and life or death, I'll have to get to it in a few days."

I'm. Doing something with my sisters on the side, but. Actual business business has never clicked.

You look good for sixty.

Uh.

Hrm.

I'm not exactly sure on the job I need, so it's not a hugely pressing issue.

"On the side? Well that sounds intere-Wait. I don't wanna know. I got enough on my plate and enough snooping around to do before I go prying around in anything else." Deep breath.

"Glad you were able to turn a young adult gig into, well, a good stable living."

"It's probably all the dragon blood my mom made me drink when I was a wee tot."

He stops packing his back and straightens up.

"Why aren't ya sure? Is it like a, hm. You need info? Hurting people costs extra unless I'm technically on the right side of the law."

Ask later after whatever job's got you tying mental knots over and over. I don't mind telling, but you've clearly got bigger fish to fry.

::Ponders a moment before pouring you a beer and sliding it.::

Honestly I only keep doing it because Sanshi gets paid out the nose by Noriko. Something about 4 dimensional bank accounts.

I feel like I need help with something but my memory's slippery.

And I feel like I might have two problems.

Maybe just talking might be enough and I can pay for your time just for that.

"Actually, the mental knots are more, uh. The newest set of twins. My jobs are fine. Blackmail a politician here, threaten one there, easy stuff. And even the stuff for here is straightforward, all things considered."

He sets out a 500 yen coin as a small tip as he starts drinking the beer.

"The kids, well. Love 'em to death, but they're also quite literally unending horrors beyond mortal comprehension. So, y'know, most teens."
