005. those countryside roads to somewhere

( weeks spent gathering non-perishables and their personal items into boxes couldn't have prepared them for what was about to happen.

it occurs in a flash, like a plant's tendril reaching out to seed a new life in something.

the sea vanishes, their epic on the high seas punctuated by a change in pressure. like when a whale breeches or dives with something inside it's mouth, it's an almost unimaginably long pause. their watery landscape transforms into an empty void, pieces of a plane that simply don't exist in the mind, and if one were to stay here, it could easily drive them mad. humans were never made to shift between realities and witness such emptiness, after all, and before takasugi can even think to figure out how shouin's soul might be contributing to this, everything tilts. the world about them flips to a new chapter filled with light, darkness, and stars, and if one blinks, it all becomes clear that everything is floating, floating without a sky to touch the pitch-black remnants of the rippling universe below, and—

a blink of the eyes next reveals that everything they've known has come to change.

the arahabaki mk. ii on the water is gone, and only rolling hills remain.

in the distance, a couple women tend to a small, cultivated field off a well-worn path, meticulously monitoring the water that'll birth life into their crop. the town is green and vulnerable under the piercing blue of the bright spring sky, with a quieter vibe compared to the larger towns that boast all the hustle and bustle of city life. a few open tea houses welcome visitors, inviting them to pause on their journey as they seek bigger opportunities in this new era of industrialization, but most importantly, as the members of 3kon might notice: some of the citizens here are sporting animal ears of various types, and no one acts like each other is worser than wear for it. )

Gyahahaha! That's right, ya cocksuckers! I'm the real deal. Genuine, authentic, 100% pure foxboy! I got a huge dick, a fluffy tail, [ he wiggles his ass ] and all that shit you sickos like. You guys are real lucky, you know. Since you're all here 'cause ya can't bang just anybody, I bet you think it feels even better when ya stick your dick in cute lil' foxies. Like me!

[ Then, he steps back. His blue gaze burns like foxfire. Some members in the crowd flinch.

Only Niki knows this, but Hiiro likes to brag about how many men he can take in a fight. Has he ever wondered how many men Rinne can?

It's okay. Takasugi shouldn't worry. Rinne's scared to death, but when he grins, it's because he knows in his heart that he will have done exactly what he set out to do. ]

Hey, hey... What's with that look on your faces? Don't be shy. Be a man.

First one to knock me out gets to knock me up! You want a piece of me? Then come and get it!
