but you didn't die this year I guess that's good enough - wait
Who: Taro and OPEN (backdated to the 29th)
Where: Capricorn (Naganaki shrine), Virgo (Junes), Taurus (Nyx's Bar), Taurus streets (13th hour)
Summary: It's Taro's birthday! Or the approximate date he thinks he came into existence since he was never actually born. Either way it's time to do the 'appropriate' thing, cruise by a store, and then get drunk. And then stumble out during the 13th hour and get ambushed by a demon. As you do.
Warnings: Is being drunk a warning? idk that I guess. Talk of death. Also probably screaming and swearing for the last prompt.
[Capricorn]
[Okay, okay. Time to do the appropriate thing. Taro stands in front of the shrine in the Capricorn district, hands tucked behind his back. What can he even say to the gods? Considering that they're behind all of the mess at home, nothing nice. He sighs, and just bows his head slightly.]
Right. Just... hopefully you guys here aren't as dickish as the ones at home, huh?
[Taro heads over to pay for a fortune... he might as well. In goes the coin, and...]
[Small curse.]
Seriously?!
[Right, time to tie it to this tree...]
[Virgo]
[Taro heads inside Junes, marveling a little at how big it is. He's used to department stores, but this one is pretty huge. He heads over to the grocery section and picks out some basic foodstuffs, before grabbing a roll of duct tape. Hey, it's got a light side and a dark side, and it keeps the universe together. Much like something else.]
[He pauses in front of the video games, though. It's been a while since he's seriously played games - he's been too busy recently - but it's tempting. ... But he doesn't have a job, so he can't justify it... but it's his birthday. He stands there a bit, trying to decide.]
[Taurus]
[Right, after his stuff is put away, it's time for the bars. Taro wanders around, the evening air refreshing as he tries to find the most appealing-looking bar. No... no... that one looks boring... that one has an oni and he's not ready to play 'ride the oni' again... ah. He grins as he spots a bar with a number of demons milling around inside. It looks like a nightclub, so he heads in.]
[... Fairly soon, Taro's laughing, trying to lean on a succubus and laughing harder when he gets brushed away. One eventually ends up cozying up near him, and he buys her a few drinks. No point in wasting the pretty girl's time, right?]
[Taurus streets]
[Soon enough, Taro realizes that he's got to get out before he drains his entire account. He stumbles along the streets a bit, but he's okay. His body processes alcohol pretty fast, even through the illusion. ... It's surprisingly dark, though. A chill runs down his spine as he looks around.]
[A bird-like monster swoops down at him, clawing him in the back and sending him sprawling to the ground. He looks up and attempts not to pee his pants as he scrambles to his feet.]
Shit shit shit shit shit!
[He already died, he's not ready for round two! He attempts to run, but the alcohol is making his steps slow and unsteady. It wheels around again, and Taro raises his arms in front of him to try to protect his face, when...]
[A woman in a robe appears in front of him. He lowers his arms, staring.]
I... am Ame-no-Uzume.
As your laughter lights up the world,
So too shall I shine a brilliant light upon your enemies...
[Right. No time to waste. He instinctively realizes she's not a fighter, but there's one thing he can do.]
Gale Slash!
[There's absolutely no reason to call his attack, but it's cool, okay? The goddess lashes out, attacking the beast and dispersing it. Taro grins, and heads out towards the Libra ward again.]

[Hmm...that wasn't very helpful but whatever.]
Yeah? Well at least it kicked in at the right moment.
Think you'll be able to get home alone or should I walk you there to make sure?
[Not that he cared, but he wasn't doing anything else at the moment.]
no subject
[Grin~.]
I wouldn't say no to some company, though. It's always better to walk with someone else.
no subject
Name's Lanister, by the way, since I'm playing escort and all that.
no subject
I'm Taro. What was that wall thing you made?
no subject
Telekinesis. Are you familiar with it? It's just something I can do...being a demon and all.
[He smirked a bit to himself. Partly, he didn't mind saying it because he just didn't care about being secretive, the other part was out of a curiosity for how Taro would react.]
no subject
Ah, really? I am too. Or... a spirit or a yokai or whatever you wanna call it. Technically.
no subject
The only spirits I know of are ghosts or souls.
The only equivalent I can think of are chaotics but, well, you're too handsome and normal looking to be one of those.

Not that it's of any real concern to me one way or another, but where on the whole Heaven/Hell spectrum does a tanuki fall?
Excuse my ignorance, I'm only three-hundred and fifty.
no subject
And that's fine. I'd've been a hundred and forty today.
no subject
'Would've been?' Happy post-death birthday or are you just not counting it cause time runs weirdly here?
no subject
Eheh. Yeah. I died just before I came here. Really frustrating, since I was trying to do something important... not unexpected, though.
no subject
Sorry to hear that, Hallmark should really make a card for that. 'Sorry to hear about your death, that really blows.' only done up more pretty. Guess that's as good a reason as any not to go home.
