sorry i'm late on those asks, i've been in a multi day crashout.

[kycdai]

you ever think about your muse in a fighting game context? Because if Tomoko were in a fighting game, I see her as a rushdown/mixup type character.

[kycdai]

"Hm, some shio ramen sounds pretty good right now, might be a good chance to wait for all the foot traffic to clear up."

She was being a little bit of a hypocrite right now, but there was nothing better than sitting down to enjoy a nice, huge bowl of ramen, to savor it while shooting the shit with people. It wasn't very often she got to enjoy things like this, namely because she usually didn't go to celebrations like this.

"So, you got a name? Might as well learn about my food buddy."

his gaze darted between her basket and her face as he pondered her words. he knew staying active was important all too well, although that didn't mean he went out of his way. given the hectic nature of his profession, he preferred taking it easy when he had the chance. nonetheless, a light jog didn't sound too bad, but not as good as a nap.

"gotcha—oh, and if you don't mind." the warm takoyaki singed his fingers, but he took a healthy bite. "guess there's nothing wrong with staying on the move. could dance a bit to lighten the load, though." a few overzealous folks were doing just that with flare. "you wanna hit another stand? I wouldn't mind some noodles next."

[kycdai]

"Nice ta meet ya Sakura. Like I said though, these punks tend to get full of piss and vinegar and think they can take on the world. When you've fought enough of 'em, you tend to get pretty bored. Still, you got some good moves, how long you been fighting?"

She allows a small smile to come to her face, keeping a slow pace. This girl reminded her a lot of Naoki, both seemed fairly excitable and eager to learn in a sense. Though she can't lie and say she does like having someone think of her as a badass.

"Hmm using your own momentum huh" she knows that well when fighting those twice her size. That couldn't just be it from this stranger. There's an aura of not caring and extreme confidence. " Your fight was so ... so badass ! I've never seen someone exude so much power even in the way they stand " she jogs alongside her newfound friend to catch up. " I'm Sakura by the way ! "

[kycdai]

"Y'get that just from seein' my hands? Can't say you're wrong though, I used to be a hell of a lot scrappier when I was in school still."

She didn't get into fights every single day...At least while finishing her academics. She did get into plenty of trouble when she was outside of that though. Tomoko needed something to take her mind off of having her life upended, moving schools because rumors about her parents had gotten out. Granted, she wasn't surprised, people would talk when the rich girl returned to school after a few weeks, folding in on herself.

"Name's Kimura, I tend to haunt the local places around here. You new to Kabukicho?"

A dragon..those were definitely bad news, he could only imagine what she’s done to earn THAT KIND OF REPUTATION. Though it made Yusuke incredibly invested into this..’budding friendship’ between them. Or perhaps it was too early to say that something was even happening here, but still he’d be damned if he doesn’t at least try. After all, the universe doesn’t send interesting people to him everyday like this, not at all. ❝   ��𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞.   ❞ Granted the animal had given to him under ‘false pretenses’ however, Yusuke had long since embraced it. “I hear that sister, wouldn’t be much of an interestin’ guy myself if I went ahead blabbin’ all of MY SECRETS. Granted you definitely look like someone that enjoys a good fight..could tell by your hands. That right there’s gonna be my secret.”

[kycdai]

"Nah, don't sweat it. I'm pretty sturdy. Takes a lot to get me to stumble."

She puts a hand in her pocket, leaning back from the other. At the very least, her usual resting bitch face hasn't put the other off from talking to her. Plenty of strangers often gave her a wide path whenever she came walking through.

"You got somewhere to be? I can walk you there if you want."

            a look of sheepishness crossing her visage as she rights herself  ,  ❝  thank you  ,  ❞  penelope murmurs  ,  brushing her hair out of her face so she can get a better look at her savior  .  ❝  it's been a long day at work  ,  ❞  she lets out a soft chuckle  ,  it had been problem after problem . . . and she supposes the fatigue has crashed into her  ,  causing her own carelessness on the streets  ,  ❝  are you alright  ??  i didn't crash into you too harshly  ,  did i  ??  ❞

There's some stuff I want to incorporate in terms of updating Tomoko from purely grounded to a modern fantasy/horror type vibe, namely her role in stuff:

Obviously her knowing about supernatural creatures is a start, but I definitely want to do more with her knowing other OCs of mine who happen to be non-humans.

Serina and Kazuma chief among them because Kazuma being from a rival family along with Serina enjoying visiting Japan just to pull on Kazuma's leash would lead them to come into contact with one another.

WHICH SUBTLE WAY OF SAYING ' I LOVE YOU ' ARE YOU ?

arriving early because you know they will, too

you might not feel like you can ask anyone for their time, but you do appreciate sharing yours with them any chance you get -- so you arrive early whenever you know they'll be there, too, just so you can get a few extra minutes with them. maybe you lie about it, tell them there was less traffic than expected or you miscalculated the time you had to leave home. but maybe you open up about it and tell them. i think you should, i think they'll love you for it. you don't feel like you're worth anyone's time, but you do feel like they're worth yours. have you ever considered that the person who arrives early, too, might be there for exactly the same reason you are?

"Hm. Can't say I'm surprised. Not exactly the lovey dovey type though."

"Hm, I could go for a bite then Ghost."

Tomoko slid into the seat the other indicated, leaning back in her own seat. Early start to the day meant she'd actually eat breakfast instead of picking up something to go. First time she's actually met a catfolk, she'd seen them around but hadn't really gotten a chance to interact with them.

"Don't worry about a thing, I get these kind of meetings a lot. Boss feels better about sending a local around when business needs to be done. Better work than dealing with punks trying to move in on things, you know?"

She tapped the table with a finger, normally she'd be having a smoke right about now, but...Unfortunately this was a no-smoking kind of joint, just her luck.

At the behest of Lourdes, the head of the security unit, and due to a significant shortage of guards, the residential notary public/office lady was unexpectedly needed in the field.

Juniper's claw was still wet with ink when the boss handed her an envelope and provided an address. She wiped her claw with a napkin, threw it away, and exchanged the order for the freshly signed documents her boss needed.

"I happen to be," the cat accompanies the answer with a sharp-toothed smile. Her ears flared forward as she spotted the apparent contact standing beside the table. "Sorry for the lack of names and description; this was an of-the-moment arrangement, ya?"

"The name's Ghost Whisker." Ghost Whisker spots the offered hand. She glances at her right claw, clear of claws, and returns the greeting with a heavy and confident shake.

She withdraws her hand and sits at the table closest to the window. The sunlight bleeds through, warming her fur. Seating comfortably, she gestures to Kimura for the only other seat available.

"You want to order something to eat? Drink?" She plucks the paper menu from the side display, glimpsing over the writing. "There's a senior discount that's calling my name. I can sport you a plate if it looks good to you."

man i'm supposed to be playing cyberpunk, but unicorn overlord is taking all of my attention.

Some direct inspos for how I write Tomoko.

[kycdai]

"Maybe. It's a dragon."

She hadn't really gotten it until she turned twenty, perhaps it was a bit of arrogance from her trying to prove herself, or having at least rose fast enough and getting through enough fights that she earned it. Lotta blood, sweat and tears went into her work.

"Couldn't tell you much more beyond that, girl's gotta have secrets."

━━   ❝   𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧'   ❞  His own cigarette left between his lips as he extends a hand out with lighter in tow, always willing to give another smoker a hand, because he knows one drag made the difference of whether or not the day was going to be good or just PLAIN BAD. A flick and the flames burned mighty allowing the tip of her cigarette to ignite. Now getting a good look at her..those eyes of hers..that face..they were all familiar. Not that he’s seen her but perhaps he’s heard of her during his months in THAT LIFE. "Humor me...IF I were t' ask ya what yer tattoo was..would ya tell me?" The question was silent only for her ears of course.

[kycdai]

"Don't sweat it. 'Round here, everyone keeps their head on a swivel, only way to avoid gettin' your ass kicked by roving morons. I can show you around if you want. I ain't got much to do, I was gonna pick up lunch, how about you join me, ask whatever questions you want and I'll treat you, yeah?"

The woman relaxed, noticing the other's somewhat nervous nature.

"You got a name?"

"Oh. I, uh...apologize if that set you on edge. It's somewhat of a nervous habit." Why it wasn't in a case was mainly that there wasn't an arm there to begin with. Or rather an organic one. It could be rain soon to fall, or simply Iris' own set-off nerves trying to soothe herself back into a state of calm. Not that she was all that great at it.

"Truth be told, it's been kind of a rocky trip here. I guess I'm a little sore as well, but nothing to worry over."

[kycdai]

"What, that? Honestly, fights happen around here so often 'cause the punks are so full of piss and vinegar. I've been kickin' their asses for so long at this point I sleepwalk through 'em. Not to say I don't get my bell rung a few times now and again, but...Really, it's a matter of usin' their own momentum against 'em."

Tomoko shrugs again, deciding to forego a smoke for the time being.

"I know a good spot around here, been going there for years myself. C'mon."

A faint smile comes to the older's lips as she slipped her hands into her pockets.

"Name's Kimura by the way, how 'bout you kid?"

" It's nothing ! " she waved a dismissive hand at the other. Another day in the life, finding any reason to keep her skills sharp even if it was sticking her nose into places she had no business in. " Lunch would be awesome ! "

"I can't help but notice ... how were you able to fight like that and not break into a sweat?" she crossed her arms a curious pout at her lips. She's fought plenty of people before but someone looking so dull ... so bored during a fight was rare.
