>"Well, maybe it's a beast youkai thing. You're an item youkai, so it's probably not to your taste."
> "That would explain it," Kogasa shrugs. "So, we can cross ripping humans to shreds off the list, thank god." Kogasa continues inspecting the arm. "Well, now I guess I ought to at least taste this thing, right? I mean, a youkai's a youkai, so..."
>"Kogasa, stop. We don't want to traumatize this man, do we?"
>Give the man the most terrifying smile we can manage.
> The man has gone catatonic. Good job?
> "I mean, I don't have to eat it right now," Kogasa says; although you almost think she's relieved rather than disappointed.
>Sadistic Mokou goooooo.
> You know, this is kind of fun.
> You forgot just how fun torment and torture could be. Well, you begin to recall the secret to sadism - never reflect on the morality of what you've done. Never look back. It's about the exhiliration of taking yourself to new depths, over and over again without a shred of doubt or hesitation, and accept the monster you've become. Or perhaps it's to refuse to accept anything wrong with the monster you've become, and laugh at the comedy of life as you tear the meaningless existences to shreds for your own amusement because you can. And appartently, it'a about giving overly dramatic inner monologs. Stupid inner monologs.
> Ehehe... you're actually starting to scare yourself.
> Well so much for not traumatizing the poor guy, evil or no.
> Might as well knock him out. Maybe he'll think it's a dream or something.
> You place the man in a choke hold. He snaps out of his daze, but your grip is too strong, and he soon falls limp in your arms. You figre he'll realize something happened when he wakes up since his friend is a bloody mess, but you hope that he either blots out this memory, or assumes it's a dream. Still, 3 minutes without his mask, and you figure how much of this event he remembers won't be an issue.
> The gas around here ought to clear up soon without those two jerks to maintain it, although you realize this was probably more than a two man job. You wouldn't be shocked to find more grunts poisoning the place up.
> You take a look around, and realize that the cave these guys were hiding in actually goes pretty deep, and it even has one of those "Coronet Cavern" signs. The air is a lot fresher inside the cave judging by the color. Course, there's always the direct route, which has worked pretty well so far.
