Cursed AU Thoughts

Ft. Mahito, Nanami, and Choso
Mahito is an interesting boss to Nanami. He’s not nice but he’s not mean—he’s always messing with Nanami like he’s a lab rat and Mahito’s the mad doctor.
Mahito doesn’t often address him by “Nanami” more often he just calls him “Tin Soldier” or “Wooden Boy”. It’s perhaps a grudge for how sorcerers call him the “patch-face curse” or as a way to lessen the chances of Nanami learning who he was before. No one is too sure what it is.
Nanami doesn’t particularly appreciate Mahito’s antics however he’s a good boss surprisingly. Nanami is given the task and then he decides how to handle it and if it’s not the right way Mahito doesn’t punish him for it. Why? Mahito is, as he does, studying Nanami’s psychology.
Nanami rattles his joints involuntarily like a rattlesnake with he’s furious with someone. If he’s just angry however he clacks his jaw.
Mahito thinks Nanami is perfect for the web as a staple for King Sukuna’s plans. “Sorcerer turned vengeful spirit, and he’s taken in and cared for by the curses while sorcerers would’ve killed him”
Nanami knows he’s a vengeful spirit… he kinda remembers some but at the same time he doesn’t want to remember who he was because what if he’ll hate himself?
Nanami has a very dry sense of humor.
Nanami has a nack for finding the best secret dives for food. He loves taking Yuji to these places and sometimes Choso!
Nanami and Choso are good friends! Both very loyal and hardworking, with dry humor too? Perfect match. They both also love family dearly, and will often get drinks together, Choso beams about his brothers and Nanami tells about what he hopes for his future potential family.
Choso is a bit sour with Mahito after learning about Nanami’s past and house things came to be. Mahito manipulated him, lied to him, Choso doesn’t agree with this but won’t tell Nanami unsure of what good that’d even do.
Mahito wants to collect vengeful spirits. He feels a kinship with them, strangely… maybe it’s because they’re human turned curse?
Mahito owns a house right on the edge of the web. It’s at a center point between the curse womb nurseries. The three major nurseries are called Land, Sea, and Forest.
There used to be a fourth major called Sky. Sorcerers came and smashed all of the curse wombs however and that location is now abandoned.
Mahito oversees the nurseries and names each and every curse wombs so that they’re born with names. The names are chosen based on the soul and the cursed energy signature. He sees the curse wombs like family…
So when the sky nursery was discovered? He hunted and captured all of the sorcerers involved. He didn’t transfigure them, he chained them and locked them in the dungeon and watched them starve to death. Then he mailed the bodies back to jujustu officials. After that he has permanently assigned Nanami to act as a patrolling guard between nurseries so this doesn’t happen again. Mahito also patrols between them.
The death paintings also will help patrol occasionally as Choso couldn’t ever imagine how painful that’d be if it was one of his brothers…
The nurseries are outside the veil hiding the web so that the curse wombs can absorb ambient negative energy and cursed energy, inside the veil they can’t do that.
