Setting up home base

"You can ask. If she is being careful not to unduly injure him she might still be hungry. She has been being starved for some time."

ichigo will look at wujen with a bit of shock cuz he didn't realize he had said anything out loud. "umm yeah you're right she might be."

While she waits for Chougou to make his way up the stairs to her, Taishoko hears the chatter and says, "I will grant a wish to any of you. One feeding is merely the least I need to restore my strength. If more of you desire to make wishes, I can grant those as well for the same price. I will not grant more than one wish per person however and once I leave I do not plan on returning again. So this is your one and only chance for this."

ichigo will walk with her to meet chougou."I will wait to make my choice after chougou goes because he did ask first and it would be rude to skip his turn. oh by the way ma'am I am ichigo its nice to meet you and what is your name?"

Taishoko says to Ichigo, "I am known as Taishoko. A pleasure."

thank you taishoko it is a pleasure to meet you as well. I am sorry that you were imprisoned here. your feeding will hurt?

Taishoko says, "Not at all. In fact, many say that they enjoy the experience."

Chougou's comm lights up with a message from a comm code that he doesn't recognize. But, the icon is Sam's.
"Hey, buddy. How's your team faring? If you've got some spare time, Sato, Tetsu and I need to fake someone's death. Think you could lend us a drone with a decent camera?"

Sun grabs his commlink from his pocket. "Hello, this is Sun Dashou speaking. How may I help you?"

((so mr. story teller is it possible to know before hand how much essence were going to lose? if not its ok but I was just wondering.))

Torpor seeing as she is not aggressively dangerous, he holsters his pistols, "I may be willing to do so also, after they have gone."

Torpor looks to Ichigo, "Even if we get a dose of hvvm cure, I don't we will be able to replicate it, and how do we decide whom gets to take it."

The voice on the other end of Sun's commlink says, "What do you mean? You called me!"

"What? I didn't call anyone. Who is this, anyways? I have no time for prank calls, you know. Gotta tell some folks about a once-in-a-lifetime offer from an evil demon who will grant wishes in exchange for eating your soul."

"excuse me miss taishoko if I were to wish for a physical cure to hmvv would I be able to synthesize/replicate  more?"

(ooc:. I can see this going oh so badly. I mean, these Oni are known creatures. I can see a group starting wars to bring sacrific s to these things to 'mass produce' the cure)

((occ. that's why we wont tell anyone))

On Sun's commlink, the voice says, "Sun, this is Sanji. I swear to god if you butt-dial me one more time I am going to kick your ass the next time I see you." The call disconnects.

Taishoko says to Ichigo, "I doubt it. The cure is not made from materials found in this world. I am no scientist, so I cannot say for sure, but I do not expect one to be able to replicate something if one does not have the ingredients required for it."

"ok I understand but thank you for being honest. then may I ask that if you could possibly just to help the poor souls down stairs? please."

Taishoko says to Ichigo, "I said this to the others, but if you wish for me to cure them, I will only cure one person per wish. You will have to bring to me the one you wish cured."

Pushing some buttons on his commlink, Sun calls the others... Or hopes he's calling the others.

"oh ok I must have been distracted im sorry to have you repeat your self. then may I please have a moment to think this through?"

Taishoko says, "Of course. As you said, your friend is up first."

She glances down as the stumpy legged Chougou makes his way up the stairs.
