(you can pm me here or on plurk if you'd like to beforehand, but also if you'd just like to drop something at my doorstep with no preamble please do!!)
You can't charge any fees. Again, this is my office.
[ However...
Maruki does indeed come inside. He has to decide for a moment whether to close the door or not – it seems dangerous, shutting himself in a room with a self-purported villain, but Azathoth's presence at the base of his skull makes itself known. He can handle things if it comes to that.
So, door shut tight, he crosses over to sit on the opposite couch, staring at this strange man. ]
I've seen you before. On Takahashi-sensei's balcony. Are you sure you weren't looking for him and entered the wrong door?
Akira-kun was trying to put me in a cage! A cage!! I was trying to escape last week!!
[ Resounding, immediate and perhaps-
A bit too loud.
He covers his mouth with his hands. Peers over the couch backing a moment after.
No eyes.
They're gucci gold. ]
Sure, the blanket in it was comfortable and yeah, he put some snacks in there. [ Actually, it's not sounding that bad. ] But I've got way more important things to do - I still haven't found a pachinko machine . Not a single! One!
[ You know, Maruki's been on the receiving end of more weirdness from Akira than most people here have– or so he thought. But suddenly, eyes on fingers down the throat and a knife in the gut seem slightly less strange. ]
Who knows! It's funny, right? Pretty classic move too.
[ No way is he going to tell this rando that it's youkai and pickpocket proof. Somehow. This is his new little chill spot and he can't have Akira planting his little traps over here. ]
Maybe you'll find yourself in one someday - ahaha!
[ Maruki doesn't shift his own body language at all, just tips his head slightly to one side, curious. ]
I don't think it's unlucky to meet strange people. Actually... now that you mention it, I should appreciate how up front you all are about it. Someone who blends in well sounds trickier to deal with.
[ They certainly are trickier. ♥ Ranmaru among them when he needs to play that role.
Don't mind him grabbing more snacks, by the way. One after another after another after another. ]
You don't mind if I take this as payment for my wisdom, do you? [ TAKING ANOTHER AND- ] I'm a troupe captain, just so you know. I have mouths to feed at home. [ His. ♥ ]
[ Maruki doesn't stop him from taking the snacks. They're there to be taken, after all!
After the fifth is taken, though, he is openly staring in what may or may not be sheer fascination. Is this man really shameless enough to take them all...? ]

[ Azathoth would rip him to shreds. Which he'd probably enjoy, to be fair...
Maruki crosses his legs, ankle over knee, and stares this absolute weirdo down. ]
If I can be frank... is everyone who comes from your reality this strange?
[ And socially tonedeaf? ]

That's fun.
And maybe the predatory cast Maruki's way for one, two, three seconds might show it. Eyes bright, bright red and- ]

[ Light-hearted as ever, he pushes himself up to sit cross legged on the comfortable little couch. ]
There are lots of youkai and gods that blend into society. Maybe you're just unlucky.

Ah, is that so? Who's in your troupe?
1/2 HEHEHEH we can wrap
Fucking.
Is!
Anyway, bye bye snacks. Ranmaru stands up when he stashes the last of them in his shirt. ]
A proper captain would never introduce his subordinates without them here! We have a whole speech for it. I can't ruin that.
[ Anyway, window time! <3 Could he use the door? Sure, but it lacks the dramatic flair he's going for. ]
Remember and fear the name Karasu Tengu Trope until then!! [ One step on the windowsill, a little wave of his fingers- ]
See you!

Anyway, his wings are stuck in the branches of some wayward dreamer's power on awry. He screams and- ]
