[He's pretty much exclusively chilling out with the rabbits right now, so he waves right back when she appears! He has two in his lap, with the third snuffling around nearby.]
Hello, hello! [As for that, hm. He looks up, considering.] Ah - well! If I had to guess, it would probably be because whatever wrote that is counting the age of my soul and not just my body.
[As if that explains anything, but at least he's honest.]

[ If he has two covered, Shinobu will try to be cute with the third one. She's patient, trying to get it to come to her rather than trying to chase it.
If he looks at her face, he may notice something is off about her nose. Haha. ]
Are you in a different body than your own?

[After a little while, it indeed hops over! Actually, one of the rabbits leaves Wei Wuxian's lap to start heading her way, too.]
Ah - oh, dear. Looks like the good rabbit prefers your company to mine! [A SIGH...
The hamminess covers up his brief hesitation, considering he's not sure he wants to go into this with a veritable stranger. Still, people were in a game with Jin Ling and who fuckin knows what that wildass kid said, so:]
I am. It's a long story, but I died and ended up dragged back to the land of the dear living. Outside of the- [GESTURES.] -murder world, I mean.

[ She happily accepts the rabbits coming over to her and looks over at Wei Wuxian with some surprise. They've dealt with weird enough circumstances that it's easier to accept it.
I know a few people were pulled from after their death to the murder world, but that you were before that...
[ Well, she's sure Muzan would fucking love to know how that happened, but she doesn't care about him, so! ]
I hope you only had to die once.

[Shinobu said fuck Muzan rights.
He offers a crooked little smile at that, though. Alexa how do you tell someone that you were disappointed you didn't die because it meant people who were more worthy of life died instead??]
I did manage to make it through my time there alive, yes, so it's just the one death for me. Lucky in that regard, hm? [SO LUCKY...
He also, ah. Taps his nose.]
Are you aright?

[ Siri tell Alexa to tell Wei Wuxian that he should've manipulated things so he died instead.
Well, she can't read him well enough yet since they've only talked twice, but she nods. She can imagine some sense of guilt since she heard the dead had to be left behind. ]
It'll be fine. A broken nose will heal.
[ She smiles as if to emphasize how fine it is. ]

[LOOK SIRI sometimes you're in an mg where killers and victims are rng and all you get to do is try to bait demons and then cry when for some reason your cursed luck keeps you alive forever.
He sure is giving her a concerned and also astounded look at that, though...]
—Ah? Someone broke your nose? [THEY'VE BEEN HERE 2 DAYS??]

[play the kazoo cover]
It's the most likely possibility, to be fair.
[Like the only other thing that immediately comes to mind is "accidentally opened a door into their own face", and Shinobu does not seem like the type to do that. When she lifts her wrist, though, he frowns in immediate understanding.]
—You took it off? Or did it take damage?

—You took it off? Or did it take damage?
[A BOLD MOVE... He hums - a little, neutral-sounding note that's hard to draw either disapproval or agreement from.]
—So you know, I'd suggest against trying again, or anyone else doing the same. Apparently these things are meant to ward off anything that may have come through with us, if those words are worth anything.
[If they can trust their NPCs, he means, which he sure doesn't. But also, he dealt with craftyass sex demons so he's simultaneously more and less cautious than usual??]

I wouldn't ask anyone else to do it, and I only needed to test it once to see the results. I don't want any more people to harmed, if I can help it.
[ That's why she wanted to do it first. ]
Anything that may have come through with us? That sounds ominous.
[ Would that anything include something that would incite murder? That's the first thing she's thinking.
Independent of whether or not she trusts the NPCs. ]

I'm a little curious as to whether or not the consequences will stack or vary if you break the rule more than once, to be honest.
[And he figured other people may share similar curiosities, which is why he was preemptively like "MAYBE LET'S NOT". He hums a little at her observation.]
Doesn't it just? Our hosts were very furtive about it, too. Actually, there were quite a few things they seemed to dodge answering.

I thought about that, too, but with the nature of all the places we've been... it wouldn't be that wise.
[ Being that reckless to start off isn't in her methodology. Just a little experimentation to start off with. ]
They were insistent about secrecy as well. It doesn't sit well with me. For something that should only be for fun, why does so much need to stay secret?

Hah, true enough.
[Testing the bounds Just Enough does seem to line up with what little he knows of Shinobu already. His nose also wrinkles at that because yeah! Fuck the secrecy!!]
I'd really like to know exactly how much of a hand they'll have in whatever is coming next. As genuine as they seem at times, at least two of them seem to be barely putting up an act at others!
[Shadow the Hedgehog is the one exception.]

[ THAT'S RUDE TO BLACK SHADOW none of the npcs are that edgy please
Shinobu considers what little she knows from talking with them. ]
They said they knew what we've all been through before coming here, but they said something happened with portals, didn't they? I don't trust them, but I want to believe in them. They were free enough with giving out some items.

[THEY MIGHT BE! NO ONE KNOWS YET!!
He hums a little at that, though. Hm.]
They were handing out items after plucking something off of them, and refused to give a straightforward answer about what was being removed. I'm still not sure that I'd trust their generosity, even then. Hah - but, you know, I'd also like to believe the best here.

[ IF THEY SAY SOMETHING EXACTLY LIKE WHAT SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG WILL SAY, I WILL TAKE IN THE ONE BEAR PARTICLE YOU TRIED TO FOIST ON ME
She looks thoughtful. ]
I did notice that, but they also could not give us anything at all. I don't want to automatically proclaim anyone as guilty without more evidence.
[ Unless they're demons. ]
Of course, there weren't any hosts on the island I was on, so that could color my opinion a little.

[LET'S SHAKE ON IT if they don't i'll graciously take one bear particle back so your burden is slightly lessened. very slightly.]
Hah! Likewise, my experiences probably color my opinion, too.
[Considering he came from the game where they learned at the end of the game that everything was a big ol' lie and their hosts were unwitting puppets for their evil demon overlords, of course he doesn't trust these fools.]
But innocent until proven guilty is the fairer way to go about things. I'd feel quite badly to treat them poorly if they didn't deserve it, on top of that.

[ She nods. She understands that everyone's experiences have led them to behave as they do. She's not trying to say they aren't warranted. She's trying to be as rational as she can in these trying times. ]
If they do turn out to be guilty, however, I won't show any mercy.
[ She smiles her intent. ]

[TWO FOR TWO. He smiles right back, and it reflects hers pretty closely in intent.]
That makes two of us, then! Knowingly forcing everyone here through another round of what we just came from is beyond anything forgivable, certainly.

It'd be damning, especially since they've said they know what we've experienced.
[ Which is also suspicious? But one thing to unpack at a time.
It's simpler to hope it won't go the way everyone suspects but better to hope that if it's not that it's somehow not within those three's control. That kind of betrayal can't be tolerated.
Although if it's out of anyone's control, that's another issue to worry about. ]

[Someday they need to both be angry in Giyuu's general vicinity so he can realize the gravity of his mistake.
For now, he just hums a little lilting note in response, and nods.]
They do seem to know a lot about us, but at the same time, deny knowing anything about those cards with our personal information. [ALSO SUSPICIOUS.] Hah - unfortunately, I'm sure we'll be a step closer to knowing the truth in a few day's time.

[ So mote it be unless one of them dies first. ]
That does seem to be the pattern, doesn't it? When the worst comes out after a few days.
[ She smiles. ]
I would like to know where they receive information from and where and how it stops. I doubt they'll tell us.
