[ With claims like turning into a snake, not having the presence of mind to grab a bag of chips from a hospital vending machine, or the weakest excuse of not being in one's right mind, it's not hard to think Yato is lying. He's never had a reason to before, so Mafuyu pushes her mask back onto her head like a hat, and snatches the phone from his hands.

[ Yato shows up after work! And because things are too often suddenly awful around this city, he'll step in with with his sheathed sword in hand. He sets it by the door, pushing up the sleeves of his jacket as he moves into the apartment's stuffier space. ]
Boss? I'm here!

[ it's yato. this misfire thing is killing her, to be honest, because she doesn't want to say anything to incriminate herself. telling yato about her side business is a guaranteed way to incriminate herself.
pause. ]
You're an easy target when you're drunk.
[ yeah she's gonna just swindle him right out of his money. ]

[ welp, time to talk her way out of this one. ]

i felt bad for beating you so often so i let you win a hand.

Hey. Thanks for coming.
[chuuya's settled on the couch with a wine glass (listen, he didn't drink at all in august, let him live), but he gestures towards the kitchen and adds-]
You remember where everything is, yeah? If you want a drink or anything, go ahead.
[he's not quite focused on yato, though, clearly preoccupied with something.]

[ Well, if Chuuya insists... Yato moves over to the kitchen to find a beer or whatever Chuuya has that's easy and alcoholic, but not before giving Chuuya a curious glance over. Chuuya never did actually say if everything was okay, so Yato assumed something weird was going on -- like when Chuuya was stuck to the ceiling. Everything does seem to be in place, though...
Yato sits near Chuuya with his drink and gets comfortable. ]
So what's going on?

A fucking lot.
[chuuya huffs with a shake of his head, taking a long drink of his wine.]
It's... about something I remembered. I didn't think it was gonna be a problem, but- I have to ask you a favor, Yato.

It's... about something I remembered. I didn't think it was gonna be a problem, but- I have to ask you a favor, Yato.
... there's more to my ability than I thought. I remembered being able to- unleash it, basically, make it way more powerful, but... I lost control when I did. I couldn't stop myself.
[he swirls the wine in his glass, eyes fixed down on it.]
My partner was a nullifier. If he didn't get to me in time to cancel it out, it'd kill me. I don't know exactly how powerful it is-- I just know when I came out of it, I was bleeding next to a fucking crater and felt like death.
I had to trigger it myself, then, but-- fuck, I don't know if it'll be the same here. I have no idea how much control I'm gonna have, I just know it's there.

[ Yato's head tips an inch in thought, gaze steady on Chuuya. So Chuuya is alarmed about his ability -- seriously alarmed, if he had to ask Yato to come over to talk about it. With good cause. But why is Chuuya telling him in particular? What can Yato do? ]
What does it mean to be a nullifier? Did he just have to knock you out?

He could cancel out abilities. Turn it off, pretty much. Without him or someone else like him--
[chuuya hesitates, there, pausing to drain the glass before he manages to continue. it's a lot to ask of anyone who knows him, even a god, but... it has to be someone he knows. someone he can trust.]
If I ever have to activate it, or if something happens to trigger it? I need you to stop me. I don't know how many people would be able to.
...should be fine for a god of war though, right?

[ He doesn't like the hesitation and spontaneous drinking involved with this request. If Chuuya thought there was a chance this power could be dealt with safely, if those words "stop me" were as innocent as they sounded, surely he wouldn't be acting this way. The absence from work, the preoccupation, the careful wording. It must have all stemmed from this one thing.
A numbness seeps into Yato's chest. ]
You're asking me to kill you if it comes down to it.

You're asking me to kill you if it comes down to it.
...yeah. Before I cause too much damage or kill anyone else.
[he finally meets yato's eyes, then, giving him a resigned look.]
If my memory's right, then- I'm dead either way, unless someone turns up who can cancel it out. And if I've got any say in it this is never gonna be a problem, but... no telling, knowing this place.

[ He looks into Chuuya's eyes. Holds Chuuya's gaze for a few silent seconds as if testing its resolve. Eventually, Yato looks away and runs a hand over his face, letting it rest over his eyes. Thinking. Absorbing. He hasn't agreed to anything yet. He has questions. ]
How will we know this ability's been triggered? What're the signs?

I- honestly, I don't know much about what it's like while it's active. It's like I was blacked out until my partner brought me back from it.
[he reaches over to the sidetable by the couch, though, pulling out a notebook and flipping to an unused page before he starts to scrawl something down.]
But I know what the trigger phrase was, so if you hear this... yeah. That's it.
[he's written it in japanese, the strokes less neat and sure than they usually are, but it's still legible. it translates to:
o grantors of dark disgrace, do not wake me again.
chuuya snorts, shaking his head.]
Dramatic, right...?
