trancehime: Saniwa Shrine - Living Quarters/Dining, 7:45~ AM, Day 6 Meira+VIVIT+Hirowaza, Taihou+Keine+Moko+Sak+Mima, Anthony+Letty "You know, I always wondered why we were sitting out here..." VIVIT asked curiously, looking around. Hirowaza shrugged. He responded quickly, though. "It was Meira-dono's idea," he sighed. "Don't ask me, I don't know anything about it. Aren't you both hungry, anyway?" Meira laughed. "Concerned about our hunger?" Meira asked, implying something cheeky. "It's... it's bad to linger on an empty stomach," Hirowaza retorted. "Anyway, don't you smell something good?" "Well, now that you mention it... I kinda do, actually." "Want to go check it out? I think our good ol' friend Taihou-san the faithful butler has something tasty up." "Wait... the last time you ate wasn't even two hours ago!" "...The stuff you made was delicious, but I'm still hungry, yes." "That battle took a lot out of you." "It did. I expended much energy." "You have to stop doing that!" "Doing what?" "You and I know you have learned a lot, but you have to stop charging in alone. You are not a knight in shining armor. You will die a lot faster than you think you will if you keep doing that!" "...Try keeping up with me next time." "Don't give me that." "I was kidding. Anyway, enough talking heads. Maybe we'll feel better after something to eat. I have to rant, anyway." "I really don't get it," the voice of Anthony could be heard, as Hirowaza, VIVIT and Meira made their way to the source of the rapturous smell. "What happened?" he asked. Hirowaza had stepped into the room and sighed. "A certain someone here was being unruly so we had to discipline them," Hirowaza said. "Basically, Taihou-san there... and his Spirit friend... Needed to be taught a lesson, so we did that. By beating them senseless, apparently, as that was the only way." From this, he could tell that Taihou was disdained by this choice of words. Hirowaza paid no heed to it despite knowing it to be so. "Ah, h-hey, Hirowaza..." Taihou had muttered. "You cannot deny that you were causing trouble for the rest of us. We had to make sure that scornful spirit and you wouldn't do something like that again." Hirowaza scowled. "Shut it, you little punk. I ought to-" Mokou spat at Hirowaza, but was cut-off by Keine. "Please, calm down. He's right, no matter how rudely he puts it. I value brutal honesty at times like this." "Anyway, I'm sorry to crash the party. I see that Taihou-san has made something that seems to be delicious, as expected of a butler of such high calibre as his. May we?" Hirowaza asked. Mima smirked. "Oh, sure you can, hotshot," she said, twisting her face, almost in a delightfully sadistic manner. "You can be with me~" Hirowaza smiled back, almost devilishly. "Oh, but of course, you little letch of a spirit, you." Meira scratched her head. "Hey, let's not turn the dial up to 11 over here... It's supposed to be peaceful, eh?" VIVIT shivered. "I hope nothing bad happens..." "I'll take care of myself." After some time, everyone had learned about what happened to Anthony, which culminated in Hirowaza literally spurting out what he was drinking. He did not say anything, he could not say anything, he could not think of anything on how to react to this. He did, however, realize the potential effects of anything that doctor churned out. He shuddered at the thought. VIVIT looked at Hirowaza's chest. It seemed to be more noticeable, but fortunately, Hirowaza did not feel its weight. She was fearful for what Mima would do to him, after that little exchange earlier. "So," Hirowaza said, gripping his weapon kept by his side tightly. "How's everything going for you, Mr. Anthony? It's been a while since we could talk like this. I worry about you sometimes." Eh? Hirowaza, show worry? Meira said. Perhaps he isn't being completely stupid when he does that... Still... What a way to show it. We'll find a way to fix you yet.

ES-Anthy: Saniwa Shrine - Living Quarters/Dining, 7:50~ AM, Day 6 Meira+VIVIT+Hirowaza, Taihou+Keine+Moko+Sak+Mima, Anthony+Letty Anthony was still clinging to Letty, blushing a bit from being so close to her, making sure he wasn't forcibly changed back into his female form by Mokou. "So," Hirowaza said, gripping his weapon kept by his side tightly. "How's everything going for you, Mr. Anthony? It's been a while since we could talk like this. I worry about you sometimes." "Ah, everything's going fine...well except for the whole gender flipping stuff" Anthony sighed, still peeved at his current condition, soon moving up close to whisper distance with Hirowaza "The thing that really makes this bites is that a good chunk of the people here are able to do some form of magic stuff and can cause me to change gender at their will, which isn't good for me" giving a quick glare over at Mokou and Mima, quickly looking back and sighing "and it doesn't help that they're pervs as well" he finished whispering, returning to his seat and eating his sandwich, occasionally looking around at the others on the table. "So, Anthony-san, can you tell me more about yourself? all we really know about you is, well what has happened in the past day or so" Taihou asked, the others listening as well. "I see, well if you just want to know about my past, it's not really much" Anthony said, his eyes still shifting around before he sighed and relaxed a bit. "Well, I've been in this town for the past 3, maybe 4 months, my days either filled with working on repairing buildings, working on a car or two, or just working out, I met Nate about 2 months or so ago, and that's how my life has been for the time I've been here in Japan" he told, "Well, there's also the average weekly beating on some yakuza, but then that happens often enough that I some times forget about it" he chuckled. "Ah, but what about before that Anthony-san, you certainly have to had a past before coming here" Taihou questioned, hitting a certain string in Anthony. "W-well, that's something I'll talk about another time, for now I'll just chock it up as I used to play hockey and did boxing back in the states" he said, keeping his cool for the moment. "It's, a part of my past I kinda prefer to keep in the past, if you don't mind." he sighed, and continued on with eating, Letty looked at Anthony, saddened by knowing what really happened in his past, she shook it off and returned to her breakfast as well. Taihou was looking at Anthony in a questioning manner, along with a few members of his team before returning to breakfast, deciding to leave Anthony to himself for now, leaving the room in a bit of silence excluding the noises from eating, the foot steps of several people could be herd coming from the hallway.

mad: Saniwa Shrine - Living Quarters/Dining,  AM, Day 6 Meira+VIVIT+Hirowaza, Taihou+Keine+Moko+Sak+Mima, Anthony+Letty, Jalal+Eirin Team Lunatic took advantage of...ignored details? Missing time frames? An inability to communicate clearly? Nevermind, the world is hard to describe without a familiar frame of reference. They did nothing of the sort. They came up behind Anthony and bottled up some smoke. "Top of the morming to y'all! Tis a fine day to partake of stacked edibles is it not?" Jalal said. Eirin took a seat amonst the crowd after stowing away the bottles of smoke, while Jalal took a sandwich for both her and himself and sat.

LordVant: Saniwa Shrine - Dining Area, 8:00 AM, Day 6 Hirowaza's Team, Team Butler, Anthony+Letty, Etch+Nitori, Vant's Team Vant, Kanako, Suwako, Orange, Etch, and Nitori made their way down the hallway into the dining area where apparently there was quite a bit of conversation going on already. "You think we'll be welcomed as warmly as before?" Vant asked in a bored manner. "I hope it'll be warmer, perhaps there'll be warm food at least?" retorted Kanako. "I'm sure they won't be too cold towards you." said Etch. "We can only pray then, *chuckles* right Kanako?" Vant said. "I suppose so~" replied Kanako. The two teams came to the end of the corridor just as the last snippets of conversation could be heard quite clearly, Vant knew the voice at once, "oh great, him again....ah well, I suppose I could try not to be an absolute prick on my first greetings" "Maybe if you'd try smiling once in a while and acted nicer you could get along with them better." Kanako said back as she began dragging Vant into the room. The two teams entered as a few heads turned to see the new visitors. Vant looked around the room at the various characters seated around the table, < "hmmm, let's see, that green-haired woman with the star-y hat looks a bit deceptive..she could be a dangerous enemy but a powerful ally. The maid seated there looks quick, she's got knives for eyes. The blue dressed woman with white-ish hair seems confident in herself, but has a nice, calm demeanor. The girl with long white hair...seems to be able to control fire, a useful talent, better not piss her off. The other woman there, blue dress, white hair, she's got a nice smile but she's definitely got an air of authority around her...it'd be wise to stay quiet when she speaks....oh look, it's Meira and VIVIT, along with Hirowaza...his attitude kinda rubbed off on me back there, maybe I shouldn't be around him when he's angry like that. Hmmm, a wonderful assortment of people...and of course there's the food, looks pretty good~" > Finished with his assessment, Vant takes a step forward, a step to the right, and then props himself up against the wall. Sakuya was the first to comment, "Hmm, seems we have a new guest here" "Oh, well *gets up and walks over to Vant* I'm Kamishirasawa Keine, glad to meet you" "I'm Vant, it's wonderful to meet you as well" "Yo, I'm Mokou...so I'm guessing you're the backwoods type, eh?" "My~ you shouldn't be so mean to them *giggles* I'm Mima. <3" "Izayoi Taihou, and this is Izayoi Sakuya" *who makes a light bow towards Vant* "I'm Anthony and this is Letty" *hooks a thumb at her as she smiles warmly(ironically) at Vant* Vant motions his party forward, "Perhaps you three should eat so you don't drop from exhaustion?" "Eh...oh sure" Kanako says as she walks over to the table and grabs for a sandwich before it suddenly disapears into the mouth of Orange who, during the greetings, had worked her way to the table and began eating quite a bit of food* "Oi oi, save some for the rest of us" Suwako said angrily as she ran over to the table and began eating as well. *sigh* "Seems they were starving this whole time, should've caught another boar" Anthony moves over to Vant, "So how'd you meet them anyway?" Vant ponders for a moment, "Well let's see, after working in the Amakawa residence for awhile, I suppose I quit when I saw what the other yakuza were doing to them, I definitely couldn't stand for that, so I quit my job as a yakuza- Vant barely gets the "za" out before Anthony punches Vant in the nose. "Hey!" Kanako yells out as she sees what happens and prepares to onbashira Anthony. "Get out of here you freaking Yakuza before I throw you out!" "Oh well this is bothersome, see Kanako? I told you I should've left." Vant replies in a slightly irritated tone. "You should worry more about the blood coming out of your nose instead of the past." Kanako says as she bites down on a sandwich, apparently unconcerned with the situation given Vant's response. "Wait, don't you worry about this guy you came in with?" Anthony rebukes, looking over at Kanako "Yeah, I doubted him at first, but I honestly don't think he's really got the yakuza's nature...except for being a pain in the ass at times." replied Kanako. Anthony sits back down, crossing both his legs and arms "So wait, you're tellin me this punk is just some two bit chump who even can't match a yakuza?" he says, not even regarding Vant. "He WAS a yakuza, till he saw what they were doing to us, and he's got more talent than your typical lacky. Besides, you spend some time with him and you'll just know that he's not really one of them." Kanako said finishing the sandwich she grabbed earlier and reaching for another. "Eh...I think I see what you're getting at" he stands up and walks over to Vant "I'm sorry for slugging you like that, it's my...usual greeting to the yakuza" Anthony sputtered. "Don't worry about it, oh and by the way, try aiming at an upward angle and catch the end of their noses, it'll break real easy." Vant said in a disturbingly flippant manner. Anthony smirks, "Nah, you see, you gotta nail them on the chin, it messes with the body enough to keep them on the ground for the ten count" starting to go off onto a lecture of boxing. Vant smiles, "Ah but then there's split, are you trying to knock them down or wanting them to hurt?" "Heh, that's where it goes into street fighting, you don't wait for them to get up, you just continue on..." Anthony's enthusiasm soon dying out, walking back over to the table "Sorry, I haven't thought of doing something like that in a while, just brings back a few memories" Vant walks over to Anthony and thrusts his hand out, "Well despite the initial contact, it was pretty nice meeting you." Anthony takes Vant's hand and shakes it "Nice to meet ya too, though you may want to check your jaw in the infirmary when you get the chance" he chuckled. "Hate to dissapoint you but it's fine, though I can tell you could've put quite a bit more into that punch." Vant said with his head crooked on one side. "Just making sure, don't want to find out later than sooner" Anthony responded, scratching the back of his head. "Right then! I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the nearest container of booze!" Vant said with an eerie smile and wide eyes. "...You really should hold off, it's still morning after all..." Anthony spoke, now leering at Vant. "Yeah, I need some way to live through this insanity without losing it myself...though I think I'm already looney to some extent. There's a wedding coming up anyway so, don't wanna be drunk for that." Vant said kind of down but returning to his normal demeanor at the end. Anthony himself returns to the table and continues on the sandwich he left off at. To be continued
