(ooc: Canon is Howl's Moving Castle, English version of the movie. Canon point being debated, but for now it's before he met Sophie.)


Well now, this is a surprise. I'm flattered to be included amongst your circle of muses. Don't worry about my voice, you'll master it eventually. [A flippant, dismissive wave of his hand.]

If you could find Calcifer, mun, I'd much appreciate it. I need hot water for my bath.

Comments

[star_seeker]

My Mun is very happy to see you!

[waterformybath]

That's nice. I take it you're a part of that game?

[preacher_man]

[You may notice the wings right off Howl.]

Why do you need this Calcifer to make hot water?

[waterformybath]

It's too much bother to do it myself. What else is a fire demon for?

[He does notice them, but as a man who can change into a bird himself he finds nothing odd about them.]

[preacher_man]

A real demon?

[He asked not sure what to believe.]

Also you must be from a time before water was heated in most everyone's homes due to technology.

[stuckinajar]

Bath water? [Oh, if only her brother were around. Alas, any water she provides would be tepid at best.]

[star_seeker]

Oh no, I'm not. I'm in a different game. But she is a fan of yours.

[waterformybath]

I'm not surprised she is.

[Who wouldn't love him, after all? He preens.]

[cheerioless]

Did your hands fall off or something?

[waterformybath]

Yes, a real demon. My castle moves around, you see, so it's quite impossible to have fixed piping.

[waterformybath]

Yes, bath water. You wouldn't happen to know where he is, would you?

[waterformybath]

No, they're right here.

[See? Ten fingers, two hands.]

Good going telling a priest you work with demons.

[preacher_man]

Be careful...consorting with demons is a dangerous act.

[He pauses a beat.]

But you are no longer at your castle so you can have fixed piping.

[star_seeker]

...really? [Hm, now she's wondering.] Are you actually a wizard?

[stuckinajar]

[Nuregami shakes her head. Sadly, she doesn't know who this 'Calcifer' is, but being a very Japanese nature spirit, she can relate to the appreciation for a hot bath.]

I can give you water... but cannot heat it.

[waterformybath]

Of course. [He bows, movements unnecessarily extravagant, straightening with a charming smile.] Can't you tell?

[cheerioless]

And you can't get hot water because?

Howl does as he pleases |D"

[waterformybath]

[He shrugs carelessly regarding the matter of Calcifer.]

As you said, my castle isn't here. Nor is there a house.

[waterformybath]

That's no good. I need hot water.

[Oh, what a tragedy! No hot water!]

[waterformybath]

Because there is no hot water to begin with.

[preacher_man]

I imagine you will have one in a game.

she'll be sad he doesn't know her :<

[unwitting]

Has Calcifer gone missing?

[stuckinajar]

[Well, she tried. She's just a water kami; two of her brothers control hot and cold, but not she.]

I'm sorry.

[waterformybath]

As long as the water is hot enough...

[Then it's all good!]

[preacher_man]

I imagine it is.

[Now he has a question.]

If you consort with demons why are you such a pure man?
