powers nerfed & gained
❆ - superhuman strength: nerfed to the point he couldn't destroy, like, a building in one hit, but even hakuji as a human could punch people's bones apart so good luck!
❆ - self healing: nerfed from instant to delayed 5-10 minutes.
❆ + conditional sunlight immunity: an enchanted anklet that nullifies the harmful effects of sunlight and sun-based magic so long as he is wearing it.
deaths & resurrection prices
none..... YET
other permanent changes
❆ scarring - november 2025: a solid scar the width of his fist at the crux of his ribcage and at the same height on his back, implying impalement. any sensation to this scar, including pain, is shared with kyojuro.
weasel's note: akaza's handwriting is the very sad and choppy scrawl of a man who barely knows how to write.
he lives at the soryu dojo south of the river, in koyuki's old room. he offers unarmed self-defense training at the dojo.

You look ridiculous. I'd rather stare at the door.

Date: 2025-09-18 04:13 pm (UTC)Suit yourself! [He towels up his hair one last time, thoroughly fluffing it up to hell. He really do be looking ridiculous.
After that, though, the towel is draped off the bedpost. With a very large (and loud) yawn, Kyojuro settles himself onto the bed. He doesn't quite lay down, instead propping his back up against the headboard. He's also on top of the blankets rather than under them.]
You ought to take up reading! Or any sort of hobby. [A pause.] You could also consider sleeping! I understand that is how the Kamado girl is able to keep her hunger at bay!

Date: 2025-09-18 04:22 pm (UTC)akaza's scowl deepens as he considers this. all he's known for ages is movement. training his body, hunting prey, searching for the blue spider lily... he's certain he's never been known for patience.]
... I don't remember how.
[that's an entirely new concern, however -- what he will eat. he understands he'll starve eventually, and he knows what will happen once he does... but as he said before, killing any of the grove's residents -- or most anyone, at this point -- is incomprehensible. it's easy for nezuko, he figures, because she's never known the taste of human flesh.
he supposes it's a problem he has at least some time to figure out a solution to.]
Besides, isn't sleeping counterintuitive to keeping watch?

Date: 2025-09-18 04:30 pm (UTC)[How Kyojuro plans on teaching someone to sleep is beyond both of us, but he's now setting his mind to it so... have fun with that, Akaza?]
Sleep may not be on your mind this evening, but come morning, it may be worth considering. I imagine you have a large chunk of the daylight hours to find a way to make use of! [Akaza may be convinced that Kyojuro won't put up much of a fight, but it isn't like the demon can do much in kind. The sun would sooner destroy him than anything the Forest could throw at him.
Still, he and Akaza seem to be of a similar mind. He'd only brought up food offhandedly, but now that it's present within his thoughts, he can't help but worry. Not of the residents, he is making a point to trust Akaza at his word, after all!]
We will find a way for you to eat. I will not have you wasting away and suffering on my watch!
no subject
Date: 2025-09-18 04:48 pm (UTC)Still, I would rather do something worthwhile than nothing. [my dude brooding for 14 hours is NOT "something worthwhile."]
Oh, will you? That might be the strangest sentiment I've ever heard from a demon slayer. If you know where to get ethically-sourced human flesh, I'm all ears.
no subject
Date: 2025-09-18 05:00 pm (UTC)[You had to know he was going to call you on it, Akaza.]
Well, I do have one lead, actually! [He motions with his head toward the woods.] There is a carnival happening somewhere out there. My understanding is that the offerings are rather... perturbing. I do not know if it is meant to be just a crude and grotesque imitation, or if the offerings are truly made of human. I do lean toward the latter, though. [The carnies he had witnessed in the woods, after all, had been preparing to eat his family.]
It is perhaps not ethically sourced, but it would be a temporary solution until we can find something else.
no subject
Date: 2025-09-18 06:15 pm (UTC)I'm not -- just staring at the wall. I'm thinking. Meditating.
[moving on because he doesn't want to have this argument.]
... I'll take a look.
no subject
Date: 2025-09-18 06:18 pm (UTC)[Kyojuro is actually going to start leaving things at his door now. Little hobbies he could pick up. Get ready to start knitting, demon boy.]
Good! Do let me know what you find!
no subject
Date: 2025-09-18 07:32 pm (UTC)... do it, kyojuro. get his ass.]
Yeah.
Anything else you're going to go on about before sleeping?
no subject
Date: 2025-09-18 11:04 pm (UTC)[Regardless of whether it is or isn't, Kyojuro does let himself sink down the bed a little. Still on top of the blankets, mind you.]
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 12:35 am (UTC)Maybe.
... Can you put those away?
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 12:37 am (UTC)Put what away?
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 01:04 am (UTC)[BROTHER YOURS ARE ON 75% DISPLAY AT ALL TIMES.]
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 01:10 am (UTC)Are you looking at them, Akaza? Are they distracting! [He laughs before he even lets the demon respond.] You know, you're one to talk, all things considered!
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 01:11 am (UTC)I know I said it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I remember you're supposed to sleep under the sheets.
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 01:14 am (UTC)[But since someone can't keep his eyes to himself, Kyojuro will comply. He nestles himself into the bed with a yawn that's far too loud.]
Better?
no subject
Date: 2025-09-19 01:15 am (UTC)Everything you do is so loud.
