[The next time Shiraishi walks through a door, he'll find himself tripping and falling into an entirely new location. Specifically — an empty hospital wing, devoid of all signs of life save for the steady beeping of a heart monitor in the distance. It looks like the only way to go is down the corridor, but Shiraishi won't have to walk for too long before he stumbles across the only open room in the entire hallway.
... In fact, he won't even have to go in. Carlos is waiting for him right outside of the room. He lifts a hand in greeting once he sees him.]
[... He frowns, though Shiraishi does get a nod because. Sure. Okay. That's close enough.]
Not all the secrets. We have pretty strict guidelines of what we can't or can't do. It depends on what you need from us. Like... help us help you, I guess.
I'll get censored if I try to give out any specifics about the other side, even in exchange for a favor.
[He's giving him a look, though, clearly not here At All for this.]
Do you think I'm happy with this? [Just. The most baffled tone here.] I don't like this any more than you do. The four of us didn't get a say in how this works.
Shame. I’m curious, but not curious enough to die to find out.
[ ... ]
I’ll be blunt. Sex doesn’t bother me if it has to be done. And I know your four are our guide and links to what’s going on and what needs to be done here. But we’ve just learned about the consequences of sleeping with a possessed person here, and we don’t even know what any of you are now.
You’re alive and dead at the same time, in a place where demons wear people as bodysuits.
[ ... he folds his arms. ]
Happiness doesn’t factor in. And honestly, we don’t have a say in how this works either. If it has to be done it has to be done, but you understand why I’m going to ask you questions first. [ it’s. not said as a question. ]
[It's not said as a question, and Carlos is still not here for this.]
Then I'll be blunt in return. [He's. Already so tired of this.] I'll tell you what I can. It's at your discretion what you do with the information you have. Regardless of what you think of me, Chuuya and Nathan, we're not here to force you to do anything.
There's nothing I can give you unless you ask the right question. So do you have anything I can work with, or did you ask for a meeting just so we could talk?

w2, tuesday.

I got your request. What's up?

as interesting as the set up here is, shiraishi does spot and head for carlos as soon as he becomes visible, waving as he shows up. ]
They let you out sometimes for good behaviour too, do they?
[ more importantly though: ] Our friendly vigilante told me I have to sleep with all of you so you can share your secrets.
[ pardon. ]

and then immediately snaps it shut.
And then, again—]
—He said what?
[THAT'S ONE WAY TO START A CONVERSATION.]
no subject
Is that wrong?
no subject
[SO THERE'S THAT.]
Did he really phrase it like that?

[ hm. ]
You understand why we'd be reluctant, don't you? Although I suppose I can't speak for the one already running around doing favours for you.

It always is.
Don't worry, I don't have any strong opinion on any of you. [ hm! ] Whatever you can give, I'll accept, and use how I see fit.
