Damu hummed a small tune while they walked down the busy roads in New York, Kenshin still on his back. Sev led their little line walking down the street, flipping a coin and making them visible to a mortal's eye. Kotsu wasbehind her, followed by Damu, Dee and Marso at the very back.
She's not the leader of the ducklings or anything, it's just that it's her turn to pick which unhealthy restaurant they'll be eating at today. She just likes having Kotsu by her. Damu wants to stick near Kotsu too, and Dee has to make sure nothing happens to Kenshin from behind and that Marso doesn't wander and get lost like those 16 other times its happened.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Damu started singing the lyrics out quietly. "Yeah, you fucking with some wet ass pussy, bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass pussy, give me everything you got for this wet ass pussy-"
"Shut the fuck uUuP" Kotsu whined with covered ears, making Damu laugh.
They walked into the mall and headed for the closest KFC, just as a news report about Japan came on on a large screen, a small crowd wandering near it in interest. The News Reporter spoke as they showed videos and pictures of the disaster, the headline being "Japan records their strongest Earthquake yet".
Below the headline was the date. March 11, 2011.
Dee paused when he realized Marso wasn't behind him. He panicked and whipped around to find him staring at a sign board inside the mall. He sighed and looked over at his brother, moving over and putting a hand on his shoulder. Damu paused and looked at him with a hum, Kenshin getting curious and looking too. "Hey, we'll join you guys in a bit," Dee said with one hand in his pocket, nodding over to where Marso was. Damu looked and nodded. "Ight, don't steal" He chuckled as he walked away, speeding up a bit to catch up with Kotsu and Sev.
Dee walked over and joined Marso. "Now what are you staring at?" He asked, poking Marso in the back. Marso looked at him and smiled, almost nostalgically at a familiar store branch. "Bread."
"..Do you want some or sumn?"
"No, I'm just staring. We could get some if you want, though."
Dee hummed and looked away, thinking before nodding. "Sure."

The four arrived in KFC and found a free table, sitting down. Damu sighed. "Damn, and I wanted Maccas too-"
Kotsu and Sev stopped and turned around, and Kenshin looked down at Damu's head. All three of them looked so confused.
"?? m,,maccas????" Sev was going insane. Ma.. Maracas????????????
"Wait, do you guys not call it maccas or something????"
"The absolute fuck is a maccas??"
"McDonald's????????"
"..Oh."
"...oooooooh."
"..Makku"
Damu blinked and looked at Kenshin then back at Sev and Kotsu. "Makku?? Wait, do you guys all call McDonald's differently then??"
"We just call it Mcdo."
"Mekkes."
"Huh." Damu looked down. "Fastfood is weird, so many years and I'm still not used to it- OW!??" Kotsu flicked him in the forehead when people started to stare in confusion. "If you're going to fucking talk about how shit was back in your day you boomer, maybe do it when we're not in the mortal realm???"
"Hey, what about you?? You're talking about mortal realms and shit!"
Kotsu sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering curses to himself before answering. "My eyes make me look like a fucking cosplayer. People will just think I'm roleplaying or something."
