Hesitation riddled the tough guy's frame, and though the knife he held remained steady, he still froze nonetheless as the graying swine head thrashed as best it could. textured and thick tongue searching for a victim, teeth gnashing, eyes rolling about. A damn nightmare was what it was, and this guy had some serious balls of steel to just stare at it like that, armed. The hesitation didn't last long anyway.
Dimple kept his hands clear as he held the damn thing in place, Tatsu's knife plunging with precision and expertise, something that shouldn't surprise him. It was different when one harbored a suspicion and then it was proven to be reality. No doubt, this man had once been a certified killer if he was any old friend of Yoshioka's.
Grimacing at the knife grating through splintered bone and petulant flesh, head turned to the side to avoid the splatter of any congealed blood, spitefulness rose in the other man's tone that the ghost could only observe. Hauntings weren't really his own thing, it tended to be pathetic. But this pig seemed to have been just as spiteful in life as the guy cutting through its cranium right now, if not more. Funny how those things worked.
❝ Jeez. ❞ Grumbling a bit at the sight of brain matter all stirred up like the world's most forsaken punch, he pulled his hands away and clapped them off vaguely, nose curled slightly at the clammy, sticky sensation left behind on them. But even he could see it: the haunting of the pig's head had been solved. The methods had been unceremonious and perhaps primitive, but it worked either way.
( Too bad the thing lingered around the apartment. )
Dimple glared up into the air, making a note to wash his hands first and then deal with that later. No doubt Yoshi would raise a fuss if he found out he let some low-grade swine ghost hang around some old pal. Before having the chance, Tatsu had a proposal that made his movements towards the kitchen pause.
❝ Uh... like old times? ❞ Maybe it was dumb to echo the man, eyes darting between the sunglasses and the dismembered head. What the hell did that mean? What the hell exactly did Yoshioka get up to back in his heyday? He glanced aside, determining honesty would be better in this situation, to default upon his own knowledge rather than just let this... farce continue. ❝ Look. Either way, we gotta bury this thing. Put it to rest. You're gonna just have to eat the loss of that yen. ❞ Cheap bastard.
