| A large stage settled on the end of the largest road of Aoihoshi, that's were William was going to sing. He was even the first one to go in, no less. Sighing, he looked around to see that everyone was still gathering. It was stil learly morning after all. "Well, guys, we have to do our best. We'll be singing an old song of ours after all." He said to his band as he went out of the preparation room for the band. As he went out, he took a long look outisde. Hell, how many people would be here? The first-time singers wouldn't really be able to sing without getting embarrassed. Either way, he was glad he was there. He still had the entire morning to go around the festival. Going back inside the room, he starts talking with the band. "Okay now, guys, you can watch out a little bit of the Festival for some time. Show stars 4 o' clock, don't be late. We'll be meeting here 3 and thirty, it's still ten o' clock. Let's have some fun on the Festival and then we meet out here again." He says as he goes out of the room and towards the Festival. Walking there he simply wanders around aimlessly. He wasn't really wanting to do anything important, he just wanted to take a look around without any actual importance to his actions. Maybe take a peek at the Fighting Competition after the Singing Festival and enjoy the fireworks later on the night. After that, his day would be done. |

| "Finally, the awaited day have come. Only a few hours more and "Koutei" will be also known as "Mitsusada Byakuren"... while that third 'cursed' name of mine would hopefully keep on fading away until it's forgotten... She was deep in thought of those words, her eyes closed, and hands holding tightly onto the guitar. Byakuren took a deep breath before standing up and getting off the bus, which mostly had the festival's staff in it rather than the townspeople themselves riding in it, it was still quite early after all. It was too early for even her band members to arrive, well, more like she kept on pestering them to come already until they decided to ignore her and come a bit more later stubbornly. They're good friends of hers and would definitely arrive on time, but they still do enjoy giving her a lesson about patience every now and then. |

| A girl in white and black clothing in a strange style walks toward the pair Mia can't say...or rather Oni-Yuki can't say she knows either of them, but she has heard of them. Walking towards them part of her costum, oddly chains with the signs of various sins carved into them walks past the group and takes a seat on a bench in the far corner, she didn't really have a band, but preferd hiring various locals on a case by case bases, this group was from the highschools band and freelanced as a rock band, but that was fine with her, her singing would do the work as always. There is still pleanty of time to kill however...sitting on the bench she isn't sure what to do as of now. But so as not to cause too many disrtractions she rolls her chaine leangths up and disconnects them. No point walking around with them. At first a reporter seems to be header her way with a back stage pass but then reverses course at her stare. good they are learning I don't do interviews. Not to give them any..encouragement however she gets up and walks out of the waiting room to take a look at the stands and stalls. Might as well see what the compitition is up to. |

| DP As the three Enter the area Aiko glare angerly at a girl in black and white. Takashi laughs about it coughing a bit. It seems Aiko really DID have senses like an animal. Takashi pulls Miyami closer to him and points at Aiko, then the girl. Snorting a little he speaks. "Well before we go and do our thigns together, it seems Aiko there is a blood hound, care to guess who the girl is?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aiko turns at that remark pouting a little at being called a dog and sighs. "IT doesn't matter! As long as she doesn't come to us!...though I have to say I'm surprised.." Looking at the girl in white and black wandering off she gazes at the stands around them. Shes not sure what she wants to do first, they had pleanty of time however. "Heh After you two finish playing Guess who, lets find soemthing to eat. Maybe see if anyone we know is here." Cutting back a bit of a grin, its clear shes struggeling time to time keeping a brave face up. |
| Rin yawned as she nonchalantly made her way towards the competition, glancing at the stalls as she walked. Her match was scheduled last of all, much to her displeasure, however it meant she had some time to screw around. Most of the reason she disliked being last was because it meant she had to sit and wait for her turn to fight. Her impatience and battle-lust was quite a bad combination. Rin loved this event, mainly because it meant she could fight, and strong people too. Most of the fights she participated in were... well... somewhat one-sided. She let out a sigh as she passed some more of the stands, getting closer to the competition. Unfortunately, she had to not only deal with her anticipation but also her boredom at the current moment. Takasuke was being held up at his "job" but said he would make it before her match. Still, it meant she had no one to speak with until her match. Surprisingly, Kazuko was also attending the festival. She sat on a bench and calmly sipped her soda as she blocked out the large crowd of people, or at least tried her best to. She had her music blasting through her headphones and she could still hear everything around her. Several people attempted approaching and talking with her, however most gave up soon after they received no reply. Her inner personality may be awful, but her outer personality and appearance wasn't bad at all. Considering how many things she found excruciatingly annoying and terrifying, it made little sense that she go to these kinds of events. She was indeed greatly annoyed at what surrounded her, but she was easily drawn to the singing competitions here. Kazuko found it quite stupid that she put up with all this just to hear some people sing, however being the hypocrite that she is, she came anyway and complained to herself as she did so. Kazuko took a slight glance at her surroundings before looking back down at her drink, then looking back up once more as she noticed someone familiar. If she was correct in her assumption, and it was quite difficult with the girl's fashion, it was one of the singers due to perform. Kazuko was a fan on Oni-Yuki, well, as much of a fan as someone like Kazuko could be of something or someone. She ended up staring at her blankly and unintentionally as she sipped her soda again. This had happened several times before, and some students joked that she felt more like the Grudge or some other horror movie heroine when she did so. Kazuko often ended up just playing it off as some joke or her falling asleep with her eyes open. |

| Mia or rather Oni-Yuki notices the girls stare, while performing she was more free with letting her feelings out, in general she was still the same person day to day as always...which was to say would lead to some interesting events. "Well, well. Is there something I can help you with? I mean you seem pretty entent on staring." She was curious to see how the girl would react, this could be fun...if not fun at least it gave her someone to talk to that didn't want to break the mystery as they put it, or that was annoying..or so she hoped. (I'll wait till Yz posts again and maybe set up a run in with Rin, unless you would like to meet another parttimerI made, Eric) |
| Kazuko quickly regained attention. She pulled her headphones down and scratched the back of her head with a sheepish smile. "Sorry 'bout that... I didn't mean to. I just recognized you is all." She responded with a slightly nervous chuckle. "I tend to phase out of reality like that quite a bit... Bit of an airhead." She added, sticking her tongue out in a joking manner. |
|
| (You have character number superiority, it's better if you lead xD) Miyami looks at both the girls, Aiko and the girl in black and white. Miyami knew who she was, OniYuki, a good singer that seemingly was going to sing on the competition. Miyami sighed. "She's right, let's eat somewhere, I'm hungry too." She said, even though she had lunched on Takashi's home. Even so, Miyami would usually eat a lot, partly because of her disease and otherly because she was a glutton. "I'll leave it up to you guys, I just want to eat something." Miyami says. |

| (lol events are going to be chaotic as fuck for me) Looking at the girl with a smirk Mia grabs her right hand with her left, and pulls on it. "Come on, this is a place to have fun, you don't even seem to have friends here, what sort of idol leaves a fan to sit here all alone just spacing out? Who knows maybe we can find you a boy friend, now come on." In part she was doing this to be friendly, but she also felt a little sorry for the girl it reminded her of Takashi. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aiko sniffs the air. "I smell squid...grilled squid! With that she tracks by sceant a food stall and points it to them. "Lets go there then." Takashi smirks a little at that. "She makes a good blood hound no? Also I'll let you in on a secret, just us. That's Mia." Curious on what sort of Reaction Miyami has to that reveliation he watches as Aiko greedily grabs a few orders for them and motions to a table als owhile telling the man he was buying. "Well I best pay him.." |
| Kazuko was surprised at her actions to say the least. She wasn't expecting an idol to volunteer spending time her, perhaps socializing with her at the most. She didn't find the idea of walking around too appealing, though she didn't really like just sitting there either. She couldn't just sleep on a bench until the music competitions started. She didn't like the physical contact either but quite easily kept it hidden. Though she did have to keep herself from cringing slightly at the word "boyfriend". "That... will be easier said than done. I'm sure boys would prefer someone who talks to them more than zones out and sleeps..." Kazuko joked once more as she stood up from the bench. |
|
| (Unless you want Rin to run into two of her foes we'll just treat them as going around having fun emp, got no problem them meeting up with her though if you like, just say and I'll edit it in) "Ahh...how silly of me. Whats your name? And heh Fine fine, we won't do that, but don't expect me to just leave you there, its no fun that way, plus boys arn't that hard to get..keeping though.." With that she grins ear to ear. "Besides you don't want to spend a few hours with an idol? I mean who knows how much that'll help your standing at school ehh?" With that she sees a dunking booth. "Want to give it a try, I don't mind doing anything, mostly looking for my compitition, so hand around, you'll get to see lots of people closer than most fans." |
| (Sure, why not. Rin's got nothing much else to do at the moment. Though one of her opponents seems pretty focused on the squid. xD) "Ah, that's right. I'm Kazuko." She answered her. Kazuko then let out a soft giggle. "Well, I already have somewhat of a reputation... as the girl who sleeps through her classes yet still keeps her grades up." She joked with another sheepish smile before looking to the dunk tank and staring at it. "Well... I'll give it a shot, but don't laugh. My arm's not that great and neither is my aim." She warned her jokingly. Rin stopped in her tracks as she passed some many food stands. She was debating to continue to the fighting area to practice, or to eat something first. Due to her being "fired up" for the fights she scurried out of the house without thinking to snack on something first. "Well... I haven't eaten anything all day... And the fights don't start for a while..." She smirked to herself before she turned from her original course and headed quickly for the nearest food stand, one selling squid. "It's nice ta' get away from the four-eyes... He'd probably nag the hell outta' me." She grinned to herself, speedily grabbing herself a decent sized serving of the squid. |
|
| Yawning James scouted the stalls of the festival. He was going to try to get some light booze somehow along with something to eat. Turning around to face Eric he asks. "Anything interest you?" |
 |
| ~~~~~~~~Takashi and Co.~~~~~~~~~~ Aiko not learning much from manners is greedily eating a Ikayaki, or rather fried squid on a stick as she notices Rin, not having much in the way of sense either she calls out to the girl in challenge. "Yare! Yare!" However its partily muffled and seems more like a cat with her snaggle toothed expression. Miyami while eating more than Takashi would assume proceads to give her a small lecture on why she needs to stop those things, while still voicing her surprise that Oni-Yuki was that girl. Where as Takashi spreads his right palm over his forhead. Being caught between the two girls when he attempts to leave, to greet Rin, Miyami gives him a cold stare, and Aiko is more direct, grabbing his arm with hers pinning him in place. Looking at both he sighs resigning himself to his fate on what seems a weird double date..well if thats what this was..no it likely was..Aouli would likely be laughing at him now..but..two girls like these..he couldn't say he minded the company. "I think what my squid loving companion here is trying to say, is Hello Rin, its nice to see you in the fights." ~~~~~~~~Yaya and Yamada~~~~~~~~~~~~(Likely will leave them on Auto pilot for now.) Meanwhile Yaya and Yamada's situation turns rather neat, Yaya seemingly happy with having some time to forget everything is like a school dragging her date stall to stall with a smile on her face, the pair at first walk hand in hand, then arm in arm, though it mostly seems to be Yaya leading off. However the pair get a bit competitive at several of the games each wanting to win the other something else. And the other being too prideful just to take a gift at face value. In the end the dou seems to fall with Yamada winning games of physical feats and accuracy, and Yaya of speed or mental prowness. Laughing at each other and what amounts to to many gifts, they resort to passing off many of their winnings to small children or teen age couples. There was still more games to be had. "You know Yaya, we do make a great team." ~~~~~~~~~~Oni-Yuki (Mia)~~~~~~~~~~~ (Whew getting there, least one group will be on auto pilot for a bit) Smiling a bit at the girl she can't help but to feel a little sorry for her, but at the same time a bit of malice, however that was more as how the girl reminded her of how she was when her lover was Killed, though even she had yet to recover fully and in her own mind likely never would. At the same time she could be the girls friend, at least for the day, and maybe help her be a little more open. "Oh I'll laugh alright if you miss, then I'll sink them myself." Being known for a sadist nature, and her emotionally strong songs the girl seems very serious on that score. "And Ah book worm ehh? I never had much problem with my grades, who knows play your cards right, and you can be one of the few people to know who the Oni-Yuki is." Letting out a laugh common to the persona she made for her self that sounds a bit tsunish she partly covers her mouth with her right hand, and watchs the girl make the first throw. "Hmm so do you normally wear those clothes? No wonder no one takes much notice in you, you look like you just get out of bed and throw something one. Maybe we should change that for today." With a menacing grin common in her other work she knows this will throw her aim off or it should. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~ (THE END IS AT HAND BROTHERS!) Eric moves his jaw around in a serious tone he asks or rather states. "I want Potatos." Getting a what the Fuck look in response from James he looks down at the ground and like a small child ashamed of a poor life choice kicks a peeple. With that a Trio of school girls notice him giggeling a bit. Looking at them he bows courtly and buys the three some special candy of sort the three were staring at. "A Gentleman never ignores a lady." With that he gives a light European styled bow to the three who blush as he walks away, only then to help a small child grab a balloon from a top rack. While strange, his actions would improve his standing with the community. "I..no, I am fine with anything..though..I always heard of these robes japanese women wear..we never had them at home." Walking back that way he notices his friends stare again and stiffens a little. "I would not mind seeing the Japanese culture, Ja? I have lived here for years, and am a stranger to my own country. Also I would like to just walk and observe, my Kamerad." He then curiously shuffles off to a vendor where he buys a few Keton Masks and minor toys. Likely for his brothers and sisters. "I hope you do not get drunk again and I wind up playing the Piano to cover for your lawdy songs about whores while you play a guitar." Though Eric would never openly admit it, he somewhat enjoyed those times, and his skill behind the piano somehow seemed to revert his friend to singing normal songs. |

| Potatos huh... James thinks to himself as he looks at Eric surprised. At the mention of kimono's James says "Yeah they're quite colorful." giving Eric a light stare, curious to his interest. Chuckling at his tense behavior he remarks with a smile."Good, enjoy the festival and the sites." At this he helps himself to some Takoyaki. Then soon afterward he finds some Yakitori. Being a known drinking food he gets himself some beers and start to down them. "Ahh, little beats this combo MmMmMm." He says after taking another bite. Laughing at Erics comment he responds. "I thought you enjoyed by lawdy songs." "Though can't really say they're mine." "Don't worry I only have my harp, and doubt I'll be getting into the mood." With this he walks over to the Jaga Bata vendor across from them, beer in hand. "Two please, thanks." Taking a bite out of it. "Mmm, good stuff." he then puts his beer down. Picking up the other Jaga Bata and handing it to Eric with a smile. |
|
| "Ah so a harp this time, well arn't we getting Cultured, Ja?" Seeing the potato he looks at it with interest it wasn't how his family normally made them, eating it he stares at the crowds. "So what now?" Taking another bite, be walks over to another vendor selling beef buns. Buying two he hands one over to James with a nod. "Now we are even..And try not to get too drunk..then again Japanese beer is weak..hmm.." With the hmm he sees a flyer and looks at the events. "There is a fishing tourny going on now, A uhh, concert? later, and a fighters meet." |
| "Heh getting? I've been playing harp since I learned to blow in it" Taking the beef bun and smirking he bites into it. "I'd drown before I got drunk on this stuff" "Though might get a light buzz hopefully" He says raising his drink. Looking over Eric's shoulder at the flyer. "Concert sounds interesting, maybe you'll hear some new music besides piano." James says as he takes another sip of his beer. |
|
| He would often mess with James on his fondness for the harp as he knew it was one of the few ways to get even with him. "Americans...Cultured?" Laughing at that he adbruptly stops at the mention of his own tastes in music. His jaw locking tight he grunts a bit. "Maybe, plus it seems most are female however, so likely a lot of singing, Ja..and nonsense regardless, I find our instruments make a good combination. At least better than that time you did pick up a Guitar." Not being much on small talk he goes back to eating his meal, when it was time to look at something else they would move on. Seeing a small cat watching from the bushes, the harsh looking half German, tears off a piece of his beef bun and throws it to the animal. Humming some sort of hymn he goes back to his meal. Or snack more likely than not. "Ach look it is girls in those robes." Point over to a group in the distance he seems to get into his sniper mindset studing them and forming his own opinion. |
| "You'd be surprised at how amazing some Japanese women are at singing." he remarks toward Eric's comment on being nonsense. "Yeah, haha well can't say it wasn't interesting" Seeing him feed the cat a small smile crosses James face. Eric had always been nice at heart under his solid disciplined exterior. Seeing his reaction to the kimono's James chuckles a bit. Though eventually looks the women over. "Quite unique and beautiful those robes are..." He said. In his mind imagining his love back home in one. Then thinking of how it would be if she were here with him. Running around and gawking at all the sites. In the unique patterned dress that so many here had on. Feeling a bit of sadness wash over him he tipped his beer and drank. Afterward letting out a sigh mixed with satisfaction in the taste. Seeing how concentrated he was on it he mused and asked. "What do you think about them?" |
|
| In his typical Fashion he gives more of a technical overview. "Overly Complex, yet simple. I would say they take skill to move in. It reminds me of the finer dresses my sisters would wear in that asepct, but it is less flashier and more...hmm realistic." In case that wasn't the answer he was looking for he clears his throat. "If you mean the women, who is to say, however the one on the left with the more bust, is using padding. Such baseless deception ha.." Thinking back on James life he muses a little. "I do look forward to seeing how these women sound, mother never did sing much. Who knows, might even see them walking about Ja." (Hmm anything you want these two, to do, or just wait till others are on?) |
| "Yeah, they're definitely elegant." "Haha not necessarily." "There's a special type of bra most women wear with a kimono." Unlike western one's that uplift and increase bust, they hug the breasts and decrease it." "Few possess the heart and soul to bring songs life." "Hmm, maybe" He says as he scans around them. (Not really other than small talk, if you want to wait it's fine.) |
|
| (I guess well wait then meh) "Hmm..I may have to ask some time how you know so much on bra's.." Casting a disapproving look he then smiles lightly. "Though that might be useful information." "Well why don't we look around, maybe you can find something to send back home." With that he finishes his food and stands to his feet waiting for James to finish with his beer, he just looks around the various stalls. |
| A bus stopped and Amelia stood up from her smelly and uncomfortable seat. The girl never liked using public transport but at the time she was hoping to save up some money for a new upcoming clothe collection that was supposed to happen sometime soon. Therefore she needed to spend as little as possible. Soon after raising up from her seat the young woman dashed her way out from the bus and gracefully put her right foot on the sidewalk. And here I thought that were won't be that many people here. Yet, I could not be more wrong about that... THIS PLACE IS CROWDED! Amelia sighed and looked around hoping to see a familiar face. Unfortunately is was not her lucky day. Ever since she finished high school, Amelia lost all of her contact with her old friends. Everyone ether left the city or went to a completely different college than Amelia. The first couple of months were nothing but soon everything began to change. And before Amelia could realize it, she was left behind. The girl obviously was feeling lonely and missed the good old times but it seemed that nothing could have been done about it. Also, because of her anti-social attitude no one at her new school seemed to be eager to communicate with a bossy girl such as Amelia and this made the matter even worst. By coming here today, Amelia was secretly hoping that she might meet her 'friends' and be invited to hang out with them but the moment she arrived it seemed almost impossible to find anyone that she might know. There were simply too many people here. Though this was to be expected since it was a huge event after all. |
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." - William Shakespeare |
| James simply chuckles at Eric's remark on his bra knowledge. "Yeah, forgot all about the orphanage." He says staring into space briefly. "Wonder if they have any stalls that sell toys." He questions as he gets up. Tipping his beer back and finishing it, he throws it away in the nearest waste disposal. Though only to go buy another and start drinking it as he follows behind Eric. |
|
| "Ja, I bought a few, seen a vendor with things you might find more fitting down the road, however my Kamerad." With that he motions for James to follow him, seeing a troubled girl that looked like she might have been the family of migrants, he can't help but notice she seems troubled or lost. "Herr Frau, are you okay?" Looking down at the woman with his back straight and shoulders stiff. "You seem to be confussed." It was in his nature to help people he considerd to be in need, inspite of his work, and in general he really didn't expect or want anything in return. "It is unwise to stand around in public places alone." |
| Pure bliss; if Byakuren were to describe her own state now those two words would be perfect. Being the glutton she is, she couldn't resist buying all kinds of Japanese and Western style sweets and snacks, it was obvious that she didn't care how numerous the food stalls were, she was determined to eat until she's broke. Takuyaki, apple candy, yakisoba, fried squid, even pastries such as creme puffs and many more of her favorites were around. The colorful crowds also attracted her eyes, despite not being usually sociable enough to tolerate such traffic. Then an idea popped up in her mind right when her eyes were set on her fellow band members, the siblings Touya and Kaguya, who had just arrived. "Kaguchi~! Yassan~!" She playfully called for them. They glanced at each other, raising their eyebrows at the favor she asked for, they didn't refuse though. And this is what happened a little while later... "Nee, everyone, do you know the story of the Yoshiwara girl? ...No? Well, her story may not be so different from some other girls who were in her state as well, still, I want you to know about her." The deep yet smooth voice of a certain enigmatic female said, wearing a very long, floral, and graceful kimono she stood amidst a a crowd that circled around. Some people stopped on their tracks, not only because of her words, but they were rather more intrigued and bewildered by her looks. Not only that the kimono was attractive, but also the kitsune mask that covered the upper part of her face raised their curiosity. "Ah, but I am not a very good story teller, mind you. However... I can sing it for you." She paused to smile playfully "And since it's her story, I would rather sing it with her own words... What do I mean? Well..." The sound of a shamisen softly played, and then it begun. "Tonight, Edo is once more, wrapped in a veil of profound darkness...." The song went on, the music being played by two other masked enigmatic figures. |

It was in his nature to help people he considerd to be in need, inspite of his work, and in general he really didn't expect or want anything in return. "It is unwise to stand around in public places alone." she giggles a bit "wow, i most look really lost, to actually have someone take the time out of there day to come and help me. well i actually am a bit lost" she looked down as she was thinking the whole time "dont make it obvious that you are lost" and she did just that "where is the entrance to the singing competition?" |
 |
| Stairing at the girl he remembers the flier. "ach..Wait Arn't you one of the women set to be singing..No, I am sorry to say I don't, but we are looking around, unless my friend has a problem with it, you can accompany us, and we'll search for it." He doesn't ask for anything in exchange and seems to be a bit serious with the task at hand. "I must Say I am surprised, Miss Rose. For a performer to be lost..Tell me, for sake of Curiocity are you also half Japanese?" |
| "how did you know my name, and yea i am going to be singing so wish me luck" she smiles and pokes his neck a bit "well i can be a clumsy at times and yea, i am half Japanese. Btw shouldn't you tell me your name?" |
|
| Rin looked up from her plate of food when she thought she was being addressed. She glanced around before setting her eyes, she gained a confused scowl, not understanding her with her mouth muffled by the food. "Ah... What?" She questioned before being answered by Takashi. She gained a smirk before responding. "Oh? You're in tha' fights huh?" She questioned. "I don't think any of ya' of up against me at first though... I got stuck with some no name." She mumbled the last part in annoyance before taking note of both girl's quite possessive posture towards him. "I interruptin' somethin'...?" Kazuko gave a slight pout for a moment. "How sadistic..." She commented before sticking her tongue out in a playful manner again to show that she was joking. "Me? You don't even participate in interviews and you're offering your identity? That's quite generous of you... Unless you're just toying with me again..." She fake pouted once more as she prepared her throw. She let out an "Eh?" as she threw the ball and much to her surprise, it hit it, although barely, however didn't hold enough power to actually push the button. "Well, I hit it. That's better than I suspected it would be..." She mused before responding to her prior comment with a sheepish smile. "Well, I kinda did... Like I said I zone out and sleep a lot... But what's wrong with my clothes?" Kazuko questioned with a curious, almost child-like tilt of her head as she looked down at her current apparel. |
|
| "Ach I am Sorry. I am Eric Hoffman. As to how I know who you are, the contestants and faces are on the flyer. I never forget a face." With that he places his hands behind his back and turns to walk away. "Well will you be joining us, I am sure we can find a policemans booth to show you the way." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "...yes, my devine punishment from go-" Before he can finish Aiko slaps him on the back causing him to cough. "...and why are you surprised? You should really join the Martial arts club at some point." Not wanting to make his troubles worse he sighs knowing this will likely call on him to stop it. Aiko finishes her food and stares at the girl with a sadistic look on her face. "Ara, Ara, you talk a big talk, but do ya walk the walk ehh?" To Takashi's suprirse she laughs. "We both did..Don't lose so easily. Minus you, he's the only other person ere I want ta fight." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mia grins a bit at that, this girl was pretty interesting in that pretending not to notice way. "Yeah, thats as I don't want them following me to school, but maybe you are right, it is a trap. Though If we do become friends, I would hate to meet you like this all the time." Getting close to the girl she whispers in her ear. "Or do you want the news papers to write you in as my lover...naughty, naughty girl." Toying with her she slaps her on the back lightly. "K-i-d-d-i-n-g." Taking her turn at the plate she slams the ball in hard and fast hitting the plate and dumping the man. "As to your clothes..they are..how should I put this..you don't put much thought into what you wear, and the wrinkles are well set in those clothes, you nap a lot, don't you? No wonder you have no men after you, Kazu-chan." Now lets see how she reacts to this..she thinks to herself. |
| Rin gained an amused smirk as she watched their interaction. The scene was kind of similar to how Takasuke and her would interact, when she actually got his nose out from the book he was usually studying long enough for him to go do something. She then raised an eyebrow when Aiko addressed her, this time not at all muffled by her meal. However, she quickly laughed along with Aiko. "Hope yer not underestimatin' me. Beating tha' poor sunovabitch is going ta' be a walk in the park." She stated confidently. "Same goes ta' you. Ya' give off a strong vibe... Be a shame if you're the one that ends eliminated in tha' first round." Rin responded, keeping her challenging smirk through the conversation. "Well, I guess I can understand that... You wouldn't want to be flocked by people all day long, now would you?" Kazuko agreed, scratching the back of her head with a sheepish expression. She tended to do it a lot, not so much on purpose, just instinctively when she was in her "act". Good thing it fit her outward persona. She got completely in character the moment she left her home, however no matter how skilled of an actor she was, she still couldn't help pausing for a moment when she mentioned the word "lover". It wasn't even that she believed that Mia was being truthful. She simply hated the idea of anything romantic with any person, obviously because of her great dislike and mistrust of people. However, Kazuko was able to quickly recover at reenter her persona. "A-Ah... You surprised me a bit there. For a moment I thought you were serious. I guess I'm pretty gullible." She responded, scratching the back of her head with a slightly nervous expression. Kazuko quickly tried to change the subject to that of her clothing. "Men don't like lazy girls do they?" She questioned rhetorically. She honestly had no knowledge of the subject, either of what was "fashionable" or of what boys liked, so she couldn't act anything but naive in conversations such as this. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~Takashi and co~~~~~~~~ "Ara, Ara? Is that so.." Thinking of..just yesterday this girl would have easily fit in with the group she briefly has a sad look to her face but hides it. "Oh don't worry about me, I know how to take care of myself, yah?" Takashi then decides to speak up a bit. "So where's Takasuke? Normally it seems you two are always together." He wonderd if the girl even knew who he was, then again she seemed like her and Mia would get along well...untill she decided to flirt with Takasuke at least. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mia/Oni-Yuki~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laughing a bit she wonders how long the girl can keep up the act, given shes doing the same she knows how to spot it a mile away. But no need to harrass her over it...yet. A Devious grin appears on her face, then again maybe a friend like this wouldn't be too bad. "PRetty much, its why I don't do interviews. I don't want people following me in my day to day work. And those idiots always make up stories, or demand you act in such and such manner. Its also why I don't have a fixed band grouping." Noticing the girls head scratching she tilts her head a little, she wonderd if the girl was even aware of it. "No, least no man worth having does. The only ones that want lazy women come in two flavors, dominating bastards, and lossers who take what they can get." As if to be an expert on men, which in some ways she was she looks over Kazuko's body. "Hmm..bit smaller in the busts than me..but you have hips and the rest like mine..good good..so you know day to day I don't really dress up either, but I notice little subtle things guys like. Most of them are pigs, but the ones generally worth having you can't win over that easily." Giggeling a little she figures this could be fun. "So lets Go Kazu Chan, nothing too fancy for now...you don't have any friends do you?..its not my place to pry, but for today we are friends. Afterwards, heh lets wait and see...as to why I'm doing this, lets just say your remind me of someone, who if not for friends, would be worse than they are now. So lets go, see if we can get a few boys to blush over you." |
| "HAIIIII" she follows Eric Hoffman as he starts to walk "hehe, i will owe you a favor after this. mmm that talent of yours may come in handy" |
|
| Seeing it as an opportunity for Eric, James sneaks away when he isn't paying attention. If anything would kill a mood it would be a foreigner attempting to get drunk. Picking up a few more beers he makes his way to a bench and sits down, to drink and reminisce about the past. He could remember carnivals that would come to town every once in awhile. He would go to them with his love who would be so easily surprised by all the sites. Gawking and being so entertained as she rarely got out to do anything due to her frailness. He would have to make sure to take her to one whenever he got back he thought. As he finished his 6th beer, starting on his 7th. Even though they were quite weaker than the american version, he was getting the slight buzz he wanted. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ehh...where did James go...ach He'll be missing as well.." Not getting why James left he nods briskly at the girl. "It is very useful for my job, ja. And no, that is not needed, a gentleman should help those in need." Musing to himself he speaks in a stern fashion. "Far too many people only help themselves or expect something for being a Civil Human Being. Tell me Miss Rose, or do I call you Sakura? But what do you know of these events? Untill now I never have been to one you see." |
| Rin raised her eyebrow, noticing the sad expression. She didn't think she said anything wrong, though Rin was the kind of person to think that even if she straight up insulted someone. "Guess' we'll have ta' see, huh?" She questioned rhetorically, regaining a smirk before looking to Takashi. "Ah, tha' four-eyes is held up at his work. He said he's gonna' be here before the fights start though. He's a real busybody I tell ya'." A shiver was sent through Kazuko's spine when she heard the part of "dominating". It made her flinch and even consider if she had chosen the wrong outward personality all this time. Sure it meant not many would approach her nor notice her, but if what Mia said was correct, the people who did approach her, specifically men, would be the kind she hates and fears the most. "A-Ah... Is that so...?" She questioned in a tone with only a hint of nervousness. She paused as Mia "examined" her. "Mm... Not so much, no. I'm not necessarily unpopular or avoided, I'm just not really popular either." Kazuko answered truthfully as she began to follow Mia once more. She tilted her head in a curious manner, much like she had before when Mia referenced her "friend". Unfortunately, I am already much worse than you think I am. She thought to herself with a mental sigh. She didn't think Mia saw through her "disguise" at all. "Um... What exactly are we going to do?" She inquired, slightly worried about her methods of attracting some boys, or anyone for that matter. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~Takashi and Co~~~~~~~~~~~~ Takashi smirks a little at that and starts to nibble his own food. "Hmm I was wondering if you would take offense to anyone calling him thatl. So are you trying to hunt down your prospectives...fights that is?" He notices Miyami seems to be getting a little..he's not sure what it is, but she seems to want him to go around with them some more. "Should enjoy the event while you can, who knows, you might walk away with a few bruises." ~~~~~~~~~Mia~~~~~~~~~~~ "At times, men like that go after girls they think they can push over, course there is a thrid type. Stupid good natured fools that want to take pity on you. See more women like that than men though." "In otherwords you purposely avoid being noticed. Whatever, I won't pry." Holding a finger up she makes a shooosh sound. Grinning a bit she finally turns to face the girl after pointing to a store front. "Now I'll answer you!...first off I would like to see how you really act.. My off stage personality would likely surprise you." Leaving the girl little option but to follow her into the temporary store thats selling clothes. "So if you want to talk..never know, both sides of me might listen." "As to what I'm going to do, I'm going to draw out your..natrually assets, its up to you what to do from there. You arn't me, So while I can give pointers, I can't make you do like me 100%." With that she grabs a piar of brown jeans hip hugging jeans, a thin bra that wasn't constricting and just a size bigger than that the girl likely had on, and two tank Tops, One was a pink Mid rift top that expouses the belly button down to the hips, and a blank one thats slightly low cut but not trashy. "Just try on what you feel best with, you don't seem like a skirt girl. After that, I think that bang hair of yours is fine, maybe a little skin matching makeup to ehnace your eyes..if you see any accessories you like grab them, my treat, in return, maybe I'll make you put up hanging with the real me." In part it wasn't just her desire to see how the girl reacted, but a bit of kindness. "You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, work with what you have. I'm not all that social myself. So don't try and change who you are." Walking off she browses the stores wares herself. "But at the same time don't hide it...which..is pretty funny coming from me." Overall she didn't really pick anything well out there for Kazuko to change into, but more of something to hightlight what she had. |
| "Tha' four-eyes can take care of himself." Rin Chi commented with a shrug. "Unless he's in some kinda actual danger I don't need ta' be watchin' him." She further added. "Not really. To be honest I ran outta' the apartment without eating... So I just came her for a snack before going to practice a bit." She then gained another smirk at his last comment. "Oh? Bit cocky are we?" She responded with a bit of her own overconfidence in her voice. The comment was quite hypocritical considering how cocky she actually was. Kazuko calmly listened to her as she followed. She widened her eyes slightly when she began to speak as if she knew she was faking. Before she could question her however, she was shushed and practically pulled into the store. And before she could question her again, many articles of clothing were pushed into her arms. Rather than head to the changing rooms, she followed Mia when she walked off. "How did you figure it out? I've been 'changed' for years. There shouldn't be that many people who could see through it." Kazuko questioned her with a tone partly calm and partly cautious. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Takashi and co~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Takashi's gaze seems to shift a little at that, laughing a bit he starts to cough. "Ugh you damn people making me do something I'm not used to..What makes you think I'm the one that will be doing the bruising? I mean, you might fall down some stairs, some no name might take you. Aiko over there, might even do it." He's pretty sure how Rin will react to it, so decides to block it off. "Be a real shame if it rains and we have to call it all off, wouldn't it?" He was at times surprised Yamada didn't try to recruit her, but then again the girl seemed more like a Yakuza thug than Aiko did. She would be hard to control. "Speaking of Four-eys as you pur it, don't forget to register with the judges, be a shame if you lost on a DQ." Aiko seems to study the exchange with polite boredom as she sniffs at the air learning where more foodstands are. While Miyami keeping a polite smile on her face seems to be getting bored with the situation. "Remember Takashi you promised us both." Sighing at that he proceads to get up to take the pair to more stalls and games. "...I best get going before the kids here cry.." Catching two glares at that he shakes his head. (Might leave them on auto pilot though Yz comes back today maybe, so feel free to RP with them a bit more if you want.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mia~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At first Oni-Yuki starts to wag her right index finger no, but then stops and closes it. "Its simple. I've played this game for years, I use this as a cover to try and make ammends for some of what I've done, and still do, and even then my real personality and work leaves me wearing various faces, funny its only at that work I find my trueself, I do this so I don't lose out fully to it..plus..one more reasson, that we will not be talking about. Looking at the make up isle she grabs a natural skin highlighter antiaging cream and holds it up comparing the tones with Kazuko. "You see Kazu-chan, we fellow actors, know how to spot each other. I'm sure most don't notice it, but you can't fool me." With that there seems to be a sadisitic smile on her face as she glances at the girl, removing one of her contacts a Ice Blue eye stares at the girl. This was clearly someone else from the normal charity giving and emotional singing Oni-Yuki. Then as if slipping back into that semi-dark and kind singer, she replaces the contact and has a inviting smile on her face. "Now, now, no more questions Kazu-chan! Get dressed, I want to see how well we did this, also thats a cross bra, it will help..enhance those small, yet perky things you call breasts." With a bit of the smile turning into the grin she laughs lightly. "Afterwards, I'll answer some more questions, to Think that the Demon of snow and ice, would be giving a interview, more so to a person she's treating to a new set of clothes...what a strange world." |

| Once the buzz finally surfaced James enjoyed it to it's full effect. Letting his head hang and rest on the top of the bench. He closed his eye's and took in the sounds as he focused on it. The sounds of the people shuffling and chatting. Of the vendors making orders and the sound of food being cooked. He could also smell all the different aroma's coming from around the festival. Occasionally he would hear the birds chirp, as if they wanted in on some of the commotion of the festival as well. He laid there like this enjoying the buzz and the sounds around him for a good while. Until he felt the presence of something next to him on the bench. Opening his eye's and slightly turning his head while still resting it on the back of the bench. He saw a boy sitting next to him, staring at him in silence. |
|
| The boy finally speaks looking at him in much the way curious children do. Speaking in Broken English as he's not sure if the man speaks Japanese or not. "Mister You are Okay? Lost? Hungry?" He seemed to be a grade school kid from the looks of it. |
| Smiling and lightly chuckling James takes slight joy in the boys ignorance and concern. Responding in Japanese he says "I'm fine boy, thanks for worrying." "What about you?" "Shouldn't you be having fun at the festival?" |
|
| "Oh good! So you do speak Japanese. Oh I'm on a break, I'm helping my grandpa set up things for the concerts" As if to be a little prideful of that fact he smiles. "So I don't get to do too much, but its okay, we don't talk about it much, but people that help run these things, when its done we normally give whats left to the other workers in thanks, so I'll get pleanty of stuff without having to play the silly games." Grinning at that he laughs. "But are you here alone, you looked sad Mister.." |
| Seeing how satisfied the boy was for helping James responded with admiration. "Wow..pretty important job." "Plus free stuff, quite the deal." He then took a drink of his now warm beer. Though at the remark on being sad he looked down at it in his hand then at himself. He must have seemed like some depressed foreign drunk. Smiling and shaking his head he answered the boy. "I have a friend, but he's with a lady at the moment." "As for being sad, it's more homesick than anything boy." "This festival reminds me of the kind back home." |

"please, call me kagome, my dear. well the festivel has multiple competition centers, including martial arts, singing and, the most large of them, the Grand Dual Fishing Tour of the city. as you know im competing in the singing one, and ill definatly watch the other two.. if i get myself around" |
|
| "Hmm..Ah I know! Why don't you come with me to the Concert building! Lots of nice stuff to see, plus the band members are mostly nice. Maybe you can get some autographs to send home!" Excitedly the boy jumps up motioning for him to follow. "Besides we need some help moving some classical instruments a no show left behind, a Harp and Piano mostly! I'll make sure Ojii-san gives you a voucher pass in return, then you don't have to pay for Food!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ah very well, Kagome." Listening to the rest of what she has to say he offers his right arm to her. "Please allow me to escourt you to your needed destinations then if you please." Noticing a police booth ahead he nods towards it. "Ach there it is, we can at least find out anything, given how long you seem to have been wondering around my frau, do you need anything to eat or drink, my treat of course." |
RedArmyShogunMay 14, 2014 11:17 AM
| "Free food!?" "Now who would pass down a request like that" James says chuckling. He goes and throws away the beer and beer cans that were sitting next to him opposite of the boy. "I'll be sure to work till I drop" He says, making an L with his arm and putting a hand on his bicep. "Lead the way boy, oh... I should probably introduce myself heh." "I'm James" he says, bowing. |
|
| Sakura she smiles from the guys kindness, she thought he was her prince charming after how nice he seemed. she takes his arm and blushes a bit. just as she blushed a bit, a strong wind blew and made her hair go on her back, revealing her blushed face. "o-ok, lets talk to the police guy, umm actually, i am a bit hungry, but im rich, so it doesnt have to be your treat" Alice she enters her with Aouli and looks around at everything "well, we are here, we migh as well forget everything and enjoy ourselfs" she takes Aoulis hand and runs towards a game stand where you have to shot some cans with a gun thingy. "think, you can win me something?" |
