What am I going to even do with this muse?

[inunotaisho]

Much time has passed since I left the world of the living. How are you able to summon me back?

(He hasn't drawn a weapon to defend himself (mainly because his swords are now in the hands of his sons). Yet he also seems to be feeling the situation out before he acts.)

I have no desire to be amongst the living. My time was spent well and I have no regrets about my death. I imagine that is hard for one as young as you to understand.

These... Mundane seem capable of many things. Reviving the dead is only one of their little tricks.

[Hm...]

Though I am surprised to see you among the revived.

[inunotaisho]

(Upon recognizing her voice, he chuckles lowly.)

Have you suffered by their hands? I cannot say I know much about them.

[twotimingmutt]

[Welp, his mind's been blown.]

What the....... Old man?

[inunotaisho]

Inuyasha. (Of course he recognizes you.) I never thought we would meet again.

[twotimingmutt]

You're tellin' me. I mean...

[He scratches the back of his head awkwardly.]

After that whole thing with Sou'unga, I thought you'd be gone for good, y'know?

[inunotaisho]

This Mundane had other ideas. (Ideas that don't particularly please him.) Are you well?

[twotimingmutt]

Sure, if by 'well' you mean 'bored outta my friggin' mind'. Mun can't figure out if she wants to let me go or not.

[And then he remembers just who he's speaking to and stiffens up again.]

So...er... can I ask you something?

[inunotaisho]

Is that so?

(Inuyasha's words bring a smile to his father's lips. Bored, hm?)

Go ahead.

(He is ready and willing to listen.)

[twotimingmutt]

Yeah...

[Well, he's smiling at least.]

What's it like? The afterlife?

[inunotaisho]

Peaceful for most. (i.e. those who deserve a peaceful eternity.) Those who do not deserve peace are doomed to wander in-between worlds or they are trapped within hell.

[twotimingmutt]

[He visibly relaxes at that. At least it means that the people he's lost can find happiness.]

Is Mom there with ya?

[inunotaisho]

(It's fair to say his expression softens at the mention of Izayoi.)

I can visit her whenever I wish.

[puppy_lancer]

I didn't ask for a second life either, but I got one. Might as well as enjoy it.

[Here comes a Celtic dog to match your Japanese one.]

[inunotaisho]

How do you suggest I enjoy it?

[puppy_lancer]

Find a few girls, down a few cups of wine, challenge some strong people, that sort of thing.

[Basically, just run wild.]

[inunotaisho]

Girls, hm? (He has to admit, that suggestion amuses him.) I have two sons and I doubt there are many who could challenge me.

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, girls. You can still find quite a few good women in this day and age.

[The mention of kids catches his interest.]

Wouldn't you wanna meet your kids again? Give them a pat on the head, ask them how they've been doing?

[Lancer would have liked to have had kids who could survive him, but the one child he did have...]

[inunotaisho]

I see. (To be perfectly honest, there weren't many women during his original lifetime that caught his interest. There were two to be exact.

He chuckles.) Only one of them would react well to that sort of treatment. (The other might try to take him down.)

[puppy_lancer]

Then give the other one a flick and ask him why he isn't glad to see his old man. Hell, take him out for a drink sometime.

[inunotaisho]

He doesn't drink. (Alcohol, that is.) Even if he did, it wouldn't affect him.

[puppy_lancer]

What about a smoke then? Or does that not affect him either?

[inunotaisho]

He wouldn't be interested in it. (And neither would he.)

[puppy_lancer]

Then what are you people interested in?

[inunotaisho]

You people?

His interests are different than mine, though...

They might have changed in my absence.

[puppy_lancer]

[He scratches his head.]

What did he like the last time you saw him?
