ㅤOf all the things Itachi had expected/hoped to be surprised by after leaving his homeland behind, certainly ice cream had not made it to the initial list - yet here he was now, more than ready to revise his priorities. Not that ice cream, in and of itself, was anything that extraordinary, even. What with Wutai having been turned to the general tourist resort it was nowadays, exotic snacks made especially [and having a super expensive price tag slapped on them] for tourists could easily be found at every corner of the main streets.

This one was... peculiar, though. Salty, but also sweet.

ㅤ«Sea-salt, was it?» The title was appropriate, given the uncanny mix of flavors. In fact, it was making him curious enough to go and check the ingredients, later. Maybe even spare the time to learn the recipe. Once he returned home, he could try his hand at making some for his little brother. Glancing back at Xion, who'd so kindly introduced him to this tiny masterpiece, he smiled after another lick. «I can see why you were talking so highly of it.»

@chopperpirate liked (x) for a guest muse Lilo starter. (still accepting!)

"Are you another alien?"

Small child tilted her head. Honestly at this point nothing would surprise Lilo; she'd lived with Stitch and 'Uncle' Jumba and 'Auntie' Pleakley for almost two years now, the bizarre for anyone else was the everyday for her. So seeing this new unusual being around while she was on the beach?

She would take it pretty well in stride. As such, she quickly returned to rummaging in her duffle bag.

"You can help me feed Pudge the Fish if you want. It is sandwich day, after all."

Not just anyone would get an invitation to help with such an important job. But if this was another new visitor to earth, it was only right for her to involve them, wasn't it?

"I'll cut to the case," he started, placing his duffel bag gently on one of the chairs nearby while looking for her eyes. "I'm special agent Reid. British Navy. I was sent here to find you and bring you to our ship. Something about a job? I don't know if they sent word beforehand."

And he sure hoped Kekipi had any idea of what was going on, because he couldn't get the Captain to confess why they needed outside help for whatever mission they were sending him next. He truly hated being left out of the loop.

"Your voice is quite beautiful."

The General had heard the Dark Minstrel as he settled into camp for the evening, unable to ignore the allure of good song. It had drawn him towards his beloved in the past -- and still had a strange affect on him some odd century later.

Unsure if his presence is as of yet welcome, he stopped a few paces away, "I've not heard music like that before," He explained, "My wife... before her untimely passing, was a Bard herself - hence the curiosity."

Hells, that still hurt to say.

Her letter to him, fished out of his quarters in some way or another, sat comfortably in his armor in his tent, alongside Isobel's.

"Of what college are you?" Ketheric shook his head, clearing away those dark thoughts, "That might best explain my ignorance."

“ sorry about her, she doesn’t really have any manners. “ he hated how he had to apologize on his sister's behalf, knowing well that she should’ve been the one apologizing instead of him. but, he knew that she wouldn’t. not when she was in the state that she was in. completely drunk off her ass, bumping into strangers and friends alike, not caring one bit. “ or let me rephrase that, she doesn’t have any manners when she drinks. “ dark eyes roll as he watches her find her friends, a little relieved that she’d at least be occupied for a little while. “ this is why i wanted to be an only child. “ // @distantsongsofjoy liked for a small starter

It had not gone unnoticed that Shadowheart had grown more distant with those in camp, and well Sigyn couldn't blame her. Sigyn knew she was going through so much, but wasn't quite sure how to help. She had hoped with time that the half-elf would come back around, but something about her still worried Sigyn, so the blonde moved to take a seat beside her at the other woman's tent. "Hey. . ." She says quietly, searching her brain for the right words. "I just want you to know. . . If you wanna talk, I'll listen."

polishing off the rest of her drink with a single swallow, she leans back in her chair as the other woman approaches the tables in the back of the bar, gaze half-lidded. but for all her pretenses of relaxation, her hand strays just within reach of the pistol holstered at her waist. upon first observation, the stranger appears capable enough, even if she does seem a bit out of her depth. ( are those caps she hears jingling in her pockets ? ) rather than comment, however, jyn waits. if she's here for a hired gun, she'll find her way over. eventually.

"How long have you been here?" It's a fairly innocent question, but there's more to it. For her own curiosity. It's not so uncommon to go to man's world, not among those of Bana-Mighdall whose members mostly originated there. But for others? Well, she hates to admit it, but Nedjem knows very little of Themiscyrans, despite one of her mothers hailing from the island.

"There's no way this is right."

At first, the servant saw no reason to reveal herself. Though she'd sensed the presence of some phantasmal beasts here, this lone warrior was more than capable of handling a single chimera. His bladework is immaculate, made at an almost blinding speed for any human.

So precise, in fact, that she could not recognize it as anything but her own.

"Okita Souji...so this is the me from this world..." she mutters to herself more to him as she steps out from around the corner, into the lantern light.

In truth, this isn't that unusual for servants - they would often find different versions of themselves, should they happen to be in the right time period. Finding out this one is male is no shock, nor is any difference in their appearance. That's not what bothers her.

She unsheathes her own blade. It's not a threat - but the closest thing she can offer to an explanation for her own confusion. If this truly is an alternative form of her from this world - he'd be a fool not to recognize his own blade.

"This shouldn't be possible. We're - no - I'm supposed to be dead by now"

“... What were we talking about again?”

Not that his whole heart hadn't been put into listening. Once pizza's on the table, his ability to listen gets fed into his tastebuds. Why have observational skills when you can enhance the taste of a pizza? As was Galo's reasoning anyhow: technical phrasing, when not guided by literal tech, was a loss on him. Understanding each word wasn't a problem, but upon all of those words being put side-by-side?

“Sorry, I zoned out after my...” counting on greasy fingers, swiped clean with a napkin moments thereafter... “Fourth slice! Think I asked you about uh, legal processing, right? How cases work. I watched a lotta' Prosecutor Shannon back when I lived in the States, but I was like five, so all I remembered was the funny faces people'd have whenever Shannon gave them the facts.”

For once, the case of one former governor wasn't the reasoning behind his inquiry. Detectives, to his knowledge, had little to do with the actual courthouse, but... to say they weren't a part of what goes down would, Galo think, be dismissing their handiwork.

“I've always been curious, 'cuz we, being firefighters 'n all, stumble on a lot of arson cases. Non-Burnish arson cases, now. It's not my job to find the guy that did it, just to put out what they started, so I was always curious about what happened. Fires take, and they don't give, either. So, what happens when they leave something behind? Like... evidence.”

Rolling her eyes as a fight erupted behind her, Lara finished off her beer and ordered another with a lazy wave of her hand, an irritated frown etched into her face.

She'd just picked up her new beer when a bullet went through the glass, shattering it in her hand and covering her in alcohol. She simply pursed her lips into a tight line and gave a slow sigh through her nose before she muttered sadly,

“ My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. ”

"I don't know what happened to it." Despite her words, Mari can't help but glance away, expression conveying an almost meekness her words never would. Her car has always been in an...interesting state, for lack of a better word. Undermaintained because she walked everywhere or took public transport, there'd been a brief period of time where she'd forgotten how to drive. Really, it was only a matter of time before it gave out.

It was just irritating that it had to be far from home.

"Think it's unsalvageable?"

Sigma didn't know that his feelings on a person could change so wildly over the course of only ten or so minutes. Dazai is... almost impossible for him to comprehend.

He was so sure that the man only intended to use him, and truth be told, he still doesn't think he's entirely wrong in that assessment. Dazai is a wickedly clever man, one who knows how to make a chess piece out of everyone he meets, and certainly not someone Sigma should ever underestimate. But even so... why can't Sigma hate him?

Is it because Dazai saved his life? ...What a foolish reason. He only needed Sigma to save that agency of his, nothing more. But... Dazai nearly sacrificed his own life to do it. In the end, in spite of everything, he had something - someone, who he was willing to give up everything for, despite the fact that if he died he'd get nothing in return. Maybe that's why Sigma is so drawn to him. He wants to know more- about that kind of desire. Because Dazai isn't stupid - he's the smartest man Sigma knows, and yet he'd decided that trusting in others was worth it...

There's far more to thoughts than just that, but right now, Sigma's head is racing enough already. Most of all, though - when he looks at Dazai, he can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of shame. He wishes he didn't... he knows he might be being used again, fooled again, and yet- he can't help but hate that he let Dazai down.

"Dazai... why are you here...?"

seeing a familiar face was not a common happening in the mysterious city of spirale; it had been a long while since mithra had noticed a face that piqued his dull memory.

so of course- when he recognizes that waifish frame, that doll-like face, those perfectly mismatched eyes, mithra can't help but amble over in that languid, sleepy pace of his, and immediately grab owen by the back of the coat.

"ah. i had been wondering why i suddenly had the urge to kill something. it's you."

"Here little one, here."

The auburn haired woman lowered herself down, arms outstretched towards the cat. Or the demon currently taking the form of a cat. The creature moved towards her, trying to appear bigger and more confident than it was - but it seemed that Wanda's arms were rather tempting. When it was close enough, the witch scooped up the demon and held them in her arms.

"I apologise if this little one was causing you issues." Actually, they probably thought her rather silly, didn't they? For all intents and purposes, the being she was holding LOOKED and SOUNDED like a cat. "This thing is a lesser demon. It can shape-shift, I believe, but only into another creature about this size and I don't believe it has any real strength and power. But it can make people feel tired, draining them of any mystical energy they might have or any energy that clings to them."

She gave the cat creature a little stroke, a soft smile on her features. "I expect there was maybe some disturbance or mystical act that happened near here. Drew him in. If you happened to touch him, you likely felt a little tired and down-in-the-dumps afterwards." A little scratch behind the ears now. "I know a good place to take him now, so thank you for helping me capture him." Even if it was inadvertent and they had not meant to help, they had blocked a means of escape.
