It does. It's not just a thing that can happen if you don't satisfy the suit frequently enough. I don't know of a single person who has gone home yet-- all the ones who come back say they either remember being stone, or that they spent what they thought was a few hours in a store or back hallway and came out to find that weeks had passed. The only reliable way I know of to get everyone home from something like this is by dealing with the ayakashi at the center. (Which it probably goes without saying is not a simple task when we're on its turf.)
Sure. The receptionists complained that I needed to get more cards so they could watch the footage and gave me the cold shoulder en masse because I didn't take one of them up on her offer to bear my children.
Haha, it was an opportunity for them to slip me a note to really make sure I knew what I'd done wrong. I couldn't get a staff member to acknowledge me for about three weeks.
[None of that is a lie, it just absolutely was not the main gift.]
Besides, aren't welcome gifts supposed to be nice? Aren't vacations supposed to be relaxing? It's all in keeping with the way this place operates.
[He spent 6 months ignoring Ellie just to have the girlies unionize on her behalf...]
Anyway, my point is that you should be prepared for the reality of our circumstances. It's easier to defend against something if you're honest about the threat it poses.
Haha, no. The Matoba clan is the largest and most powerful exorcist clan in the region. The Natori clan is a clan of one. We're on very different scales.
The Matoba clan serve as a sort of organizing force for the exorcist community in the area. They host spellcaster meetings, organize bounties for dangerous ayakashi, etc. I've taken some jobs from them when it's something I'm suited for, things that are too small to justify deploying the full might of the Matoba clan. So in that sense, we have the same broad goals of protecting people.
I'm grateful to have access to Matoba-san's expertise. I said earlier that resolving this situation is not easy. That's true even if all of the exorcists and other spellcasters here work together, but we're certainly in a better spot with him here.
It will make exorcist assemblies back home rather more awkward, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
[it doesn't escape Edamura's notice how carefully Natori manages to avoid allowing personal feelings to seep into his answers. then again, maybe he has none? maybe they really are just distant coworkers. at any rate, that part of things is not his business. he will politely refrain from pressing]
Huh. Sounds like you respect him quite a bit. And hopefully it won't be THAT awkward.
[That's right... They're just distant coworkers... They've certainly never been on a first name basis. Just two professional colleagues who are extremely normal.]
Haha, it's no problem. Unfortunately it wouldn't be hard for the exorcist community to believe that we were spirited away to an ayakashi love hotel. I'm not very popular among most exorcists, so it would be more of a problem for me than for Matoba-san.

I've heard some people have been here for two years, but I'm trying to be a little optimistic. You can't blame me!
And if you don't wanna talk about it, you can just say so.
no subject
I'll talk about it, you just won't like it.
no subject
No. . . but does it have anything to do with turning into stone?
I didn't like what you said about the suits either, but I handled that pretty well, didn't I?
no subject
Sure. The receptionists complained that I needed to get more cards so they could watch the footage and gave me the cold shoulder en masse because I didn't take one of them up on her offer to bear my children.

[christ. that's chilling. not a single person has gone home in two years? seriously??]
What the hell. . . that's the most messed up thing I've heard about this place yet.
no subject
They gave you the cold shoulder for your BIRTHDAY? Aren't birthday gifts supposed to be nice??
no subject
[None of that is a lie, it just absolutely was not the main gift.]
Besides, aren't welcome gifts supposed to be nice? Aren't vacations supposed to be relaxing? It's all in keeping with the way this place operates.
no subject
Got me there. I still can't believe they'd ignore you just because you weren't interested in one of them. . .
[this is making him dread his own birthday]

But nevermind that. I wanted to ask you something, and it's not related to the resort or any of the reasons why we're here.

But if it's not that, then what were you going to ask?
no subject
I wanted to ask you about Matoba-san. You guys know each other, right?
no subject
That's right. We both operate out of Kyushu.
[They're country boys...]
Though I don't mean to imply that the Natori clan is on the same footing as the Matoba clan.
no subject
He did mention something about your clan being out of business for a long time before you took it over. Are you guys rivals?
no subject
no subject
Do you work together, then? Like comrades?
no subject
no subject
Huh. . . that makes sense. So you kind of are like associates, even though you work independently.
[a pause. this is a more personal question, but. . .]
Do you like having someone you know from back home around?
[if anyone from Team Confidence showed up here, Edamura would have a fit]

Sorry for prying! I was just curious.

no subject
Not very popular? But why? You're so nice and personable!
