[ The camera opens on a woman with silvery-blue hair, sitting hunched over a table, furiously shoveling food into her mouth with a pair of chopsticks. There's a veritable smorgasbord set out in front of her of different dishes-- all of which look half eaten-- and various empty plates and bowls with only crumbs left. Shade looks pissed off. So pissed off she deigned to actually show her face on the network for once. She speaks in between mouthfuls, her words muffled by the food she can't stop chewing. ]

If anyone tries to sell you a charm to ward off ayakashi... [ bite bite, chew chew chew ] ...Don't fucking waste your money. That shit doesn't work.

[ She picks up a bowl of soup and downs all the broth in one go. Afterward, she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, then reaches up to paw at her ear like a cat. She then levels a warning glare back at the camera. ]

And if you see one of those fucking nekomata, you sure as shit better bow at the damn thing.

[ Looks like someone fell victim to a certain ayakashi's curse. Serves her right for going out during the day. She sets her chopsticks down just long enough to reach for the magicomm, picking it up in preparation to end the video. ]

If any of you see my sister out there, tell her to get her ass back here with those snacks. I'm so. Fucking. Hungry.

I didn't know they did that kind of stuff... uh. I'll keep an eye out. Aren't you worried about eating too much?

[ Shade has to take a break from eating to respond via text, but it's probably for the best... She needs some time to digest. ]

It shouldn't be an issue. I have an otherworldly metabolism.

That still sounds like a pain, though. I hope it doesn't last long for you, you know? That's one way to eat up your stipend for a month.

It had better not last too long. Sunny's already gotten herself a job to boost our finances; I don't want to have to get one, too.

Jobs aren't so bad, but I can see how needing to eat all that would put a damper in your life on top of that.

I have a job. One that I care deeply for, and have dedicated most of my life to. Getting a part time side gig just because I am cut off from being able to perform my try calling feels a betrayal of everything I hold dear.

[wow, uh. Wow]

You got cursed?

What does it look like?

It looks annoying.

Is there a way to reverse it?

There had better be...

Maybe if I can find the cat that cursed me, I can get it to reverse it.

Where were you when it happened?

I'll ask one of the samurai I work with if there's a fix.

I saw the nekomata outside a shrine in Little Edo. Serves me right for trying to pay my respects to the local gods, I guess.

I'd be more angry at whoever scammed you with a charm. That shit doesn't work.

I know that now.

[ But Sunny bought her the charm so she felt compelled to keep it with her, even if it was completely useless. ]

I know.

Any more details on the nekomata?

Ginger fur. White tips to its tails, and white feet. Fat, like someone's been feeding it.

Okay. I'll let you know if I find it. Told some of the samurai to keep an eye out, too.

I appreciate it. Meanwhile, I think I'm going to lie down in a sunbeam.

Is it what is making you so ravenously hungry?

I don't eat like this because I like the taste of it all.

I would guess not.

Did you get things figured out?

Still working on the details of how to get the curse undone.

Ah... is that because of Kizuna or because of a curse...? [ honestly, he has heard it can happen for whatever reason ]

Curse.

[ She finishes chewing the bun she had just placed in her mouth, then addresses the camera again. ]

It doesn't feel like Kizuna. Not that I've got all that much experience with Kizuna to begin with.

I heard there are some charms to keep curses away - perhaps they are easy to acquire?

[ Shade holds up a small embroidered pouch with complex script written on it. ]

Like one of these? They're worthless. They don't work.

[ kaneki opens his mouth

and the tiniest little "oh" comes out. ]

Is the curse... temporary at least? [ kaneki actually bought a bunch of those charms and he now regrets it )= ]

It had better be. [ She can't afford to keep eating so much food, both physically and financially.

Speaking of, she's just going to reach for a red bean anpan and start munching again. ]

If it doesn't go away, perhaps the scientists can help.
