...Jun. Did you smuggle weapons to people who shouldn't have weapons.

[whiteshroud]

No. I imported those weapons legally and there was no monetary transaction involved.

[So!!! Not smuggling!!]

[drewthetower]

Details, oh my God Jun.

[whiteshroud]

[Look it's an important distinction! He sighs]

I'd been working with the Japanese military on an operation, and they had ordered a surplus of sanctified weaponry. [Because of course they did] Before we wrapped up that operation, a large threat emerged and pulled the entire city into the Ecli- Spirit Realm and cut off all outside contact.

So I had weapons, but I needed more manpower. [He shrugs] It was the most logical choice.

[drewthetower]

Did you give the weapons to the yakuza, Jun.

[whiteshroud]

...Something like that.

[Yes.]

[drewthetower]

Oh my God.

[Just sort of helpless giggles now.]

How'd that go over?

[whiteshroud]

During the crisis, quite well. They understood the severity of the situation and contributed a lot to resolving everything.

After the crisis, well .... it can't be overlooked that they didn't return what they were given.

[drewthetower]

Career criminals not returning the overpowered weaponry they were given? No.

[Still giggling.]

[whiteshroud]

[He sighs. Yeah, yeah he knows. ]

Most of it isn't a big deal. Sanctified bullets aren't any better than normal bullets unless you're facing demons, which the yakuza aren't interested in meddling with.

[...]

The Gatling gun though is admittedly a bigger sticking point.

[drewthetower]

The Gatling--holy shit, you gave them a Gatling gun.

[whiteshroud]

They were big demons!

[drewthetower]

But a Gatling gun, Jun. To the yakuza.

[whiteshroud]

Yeah, I know. It wasn't my best tactical decision.

[Yet somehow not his worst. This is why Jun requires adult supervision]

[drewthetower]

Calling that "not your best" is like saying getting run through with Bel's sword "kinda hurt".

[A beat.]

That, uh. That was consensual stabbing. It's a demon thing.

[whiteshroud]

[....]

Not to kinkshame you, but why are you telling a man of the cloth this.

[drewthetower]

[Julian loses it, the traitor bird.]

Wha--holy shit Jun, no. One, Bel's wife woulda killed me. Two, that is my demon aunt.

[GROSS.]

No, like, fuck, I needed to get run through to figure out how to transform, shit!

[whiteshroud]

Ah, so that's what it was.

[he says. So innocently. Like he didn't already know!]

Saying "consensual" and "demon thing" made it sound otherwise.

[drewthetower]

[August just throws the paper the box of wagashi birds was wrapped in at Jun's head.]

I thought men of the cloth weren't supposed to know what kinkshaming even was, ass.

[whiteshroud]

[Leans out of the way so the paper goes sailing past]

Haha, of course we are! We're allowed on the internet, and don't forget the church is the original kinkshamer.

I just can't engage in those activities myself.

[drewthetower]

...God, it is the original kinkshamer, isn't it. Fuck. This is why I'm pagan.

[whiteshroud]

August, don't lie.

You're not nearly successful enough in romance for that to be the reason you're a pagan.

[drewthetower]

[Yeah no August lunges for Jun from the other side of the table, reaching for him to playfully punch his arm or mess up his hair or something.]

I'm gonna dunk you, I swear.

[whiteshroud]

[He'll let August have this! He's snickering as he gets his hair messed up]

Ah, sorry! Sorry!

[He's not at all sorry]

[drewthetower]

Liar.

[He lets Jun go, laughing.]

You're never sorry, you little shit.
