yeah, that'd be a good question to figure out along side of what else they could do other than "follow the orders" of a cursed island. but, mitsuri also brings up a nice point... there's no need to just stand around and talk next to a lighthouse that was once upon a fire.
shame they didn't have a lot of time to rummage through things for more answers or clues. he'll take a cursory look back at the lighthouse again—mitsuri didn't hear anything and nothing else stands out. seems like, there wouldn't be a reason to stick around.... ]
We should find out if anyone knows how to pick a lock.
[ That certainly isn't in their demon slayer curriculum. What laws and rules there are on this island don't deserve to be respected. Also, as individuals who carry around swords in the Taishi Era, they don't care about the law. ]
What we saw means there is something in there. Or there was.
[ This is her mind right now, and her smile is back in place. ]
They couldn't brute force their way past the door. Perhaps picking the lock—a far more clever alternative—will do the trick. She files this task away in her mind.
At the mention of the others, she entwines her fingers together and beams. It would be presumptuous to claim that she's getting along swimmingly with everyone, but they've all been good to her one way or another, so she nods.]
and it really isn't any surprise that mitsuri is getting along with everyone...even if it might not look that way. it's kind of hard to dislike mitsuri (or be disliked by her). giyuu considers his camp for a moment and, well, guess his camp is fine? everyone's fine at jungle camp..... ]
The jungle camp has been fine.
[ which is not the "everyone" that shinobu was asking about but even then things would be fine—to him. ...except for the very obvious threat he got from ogata but he doesn't even know the guy's name so it doesn't matter. ]
Shinobu also isn't surprised that Mitsuri views everyone in that light and also that Giyuu thinks everything is fine. Would he be aware if it weren't? Even for how much he's changed, she still has her doubts.
Her very founded doubts. She knows Mitsuri will try her best to see only the good in people and none of the tells that could lead them to murdering people for freedom. Why couldn't the explosion in the lighthouse shatter the window open so they could sneak in that way?
Someone should try to blow up the door or set it on fire, if it's wooden. ]
Everyone I've talked to from my camp is various degrees of odd. I'm keeping an eye on one of them especially.
[ Wen Ning hasn't been completely cleared of suspicion. ]
[New objective: Find a picklock or a bundle of dynamite!
Ogata is a very nice, kind man.
Odd people are endearing. Mitsuri is relieved to hear that Giyu is getting along with his camp companions. But, oh? For Shinobu to take an interest in someone, they must truly stand out.]
[ where are they going to find explosives here.... actually if they find explosives here that will only end poorly. not that things wouldn't end poorly even if they don't find explosives.
and giyuu is also interested in hearing who shinobu is monitoring while they are here... most of the people seem harmless that he's met so far (or chaotic for no reason at all). either way, yes, braincell, please tell us who is sus. ]
[What are the odds that people like that would all end up on Shinobu's side of the island? She hasn't met anyone by the name of Wen Ning yet, but she'll keep an ear open for him.]
but wen ning...that's a name that he hasn't come across but then again, giyuu doesn't actually ask people for their names 80% of the time. most have been just very kind in terms of exposition and saying everything without him needing to say anything. still... ]
[That is suspicious. But something else grabs Mitsuri's attention. If they're all truly from different worlds, Ogata (who is not actually Ogata) was right!]
[ he was about to ask about if that was the reason why she hasn't gone and killed them yet but then the whole island comes to mind. ...also likely because of the answer to mitsuri's answer being "no". and if it isn't then boy does that leave room for even more questions. ]
[Shinobu thinks Ogata is a potential hostile entity? Certainly, he ignores her on most days (and she cries on most days as a result), but he's yet to do or say anything that has alarmed her. In fact, she found him to be reasonable in their first meeting.]
he knows this man. he doesn't know his name as ogata so he can't confirm but the description is enough for giyuu to know. ...also he will add the most unhelpful comment if anyone wanted to defend him. ]
I think I know that man. He threatened me when we first met on the beach.
[ sometimes you look at a man wrong and then suddenly he wants to put a bullet between your eyebrows. it happens if your name is giyuu, but with mitsuri keeping an eye on him, things should be fine, right? or, well, as long as giyuu steers clear of him and only interacts when absolutely necessary. ]
Just those two?
[ two people out of twenty-one people isn't that bad of odds, especially since the three of them were included in that count. ]

There's no other reason to be here now.

Are you both getting along with the others?

[ He is a good zombie, but lifelong prejudices aren't easy to override. Nezuko is a special case, the exception, and not the rule. ]
There are a couple other people who seem quick to be hostile, but I don't know enough to say if they're quick to murder for no good reason.

What's so suspicious about them?
no subject
She shakes her head. ]
They aren't all from my camp. If he were from our world, there wouldn't be any doubt that he'd be a demon.
[ Isn't that suspicious? ]
no subject
He hasn't harmed anyone yet, has he?
no subject
no subject
[ This is on Monday night. SHE KNOWS NOTHING
I'M SCREAMING i'm sorry ]
But we'll have to wait and see.
no subject
Anyway, there are people besides Wen Ning. Mitsuri will try to keep an eye on hers.]
What do we do now?
no subject
You mentioned the other ones who were hostile. Who were you thinking of?
[ you know, since giyuu is a poor judge of character in who is hostile or not since sanemi and him just have disagreements or he's in a bad mood. ]
no subject
I don't know his name, but he has scars on his face. On both of his cheeks.
no subject

no subject
Yes, that sounds about right.
[ To the name and to probably threatening someone. If it's the same person. ]
We'll need to see if he won't cause too much of a problem.
no subject
Talk about embarrassing. Knowing that this brings her judgment into question, Mitsuri can only promise to do better.]
I'll keep an eye on him.
no subject
Just those two?
[ two people out of twenty-one people isn't that bad of odds, especially since the three of them were included in that count. ]
no subject
[ The judgment of both Mitsuri and Giyuu tires Shinobu out. For Mitsuri, it's usually charming. For Giyuu, it's usually annoying.
She smiles because of course she does. ]
For now. I haven't talked to everyone extensively yet.
