CR meme comment Mingle top level Feel free to double up prompts, I will tag you however many times you want. bloodborne 🎶 ❗ Anna is extremely xenophobic against alien/angel/eldritch creatures and violent against them. If you're not sure you count, DM me. She is *dealing* with the yokai, but especially monstrous ones still set her on edge.

[ Less hateful than she was anticipating, but she is obligated to point out the rips, ]

This damage is acceptable?

[ Just let her wear her nasty shit then 8( ]

[ryototsukai]

It's aesthetic!

It gives a like... cool badass vibe!

[ She thought, anyways. ]

[notched]

[ She just looks confused. Cool? Badass? Vibes? She's still frowning but she extends her hand for the outfit. ]

Very well.

[ She will put it on and take a look. They have to start somewhere or they will never leave this accursed place. She lets herself be shown to a dressing room, which she wonders at the need for. It's not like she's some blushing lady who can't be seen in her skivs... She still pulls the curtain closed and changes.

She returns for inspection without much delay. The modern clothes accentuate how actually quite petite Anna is. It was all that leather armor that she was wearing upon arrival that gave her a much more intimidating silhouette. Now she's just a woman, although a quite fit one.

She tugs on the edges of the cropped jacket, bothered by the lack of coverage over her ribs. ]

Half a coat is ridiculous.

[ryototsukai]

You definitely kill this look!

[ Please don't take that literally, girl. Either way, Musashi's praise can only be read as genuine. There's just something about the woman that radiates an eased sincerity. ]

It might seem ridiculous at first, but you get used to it! Plus, it makes maneuvering pretty easy for when you gotta get your weapons out.

[ She doesn't get that turn of phrase, but yeah... it seems like she has met the fashion criteria. Anna frowns at herself in the mirror. She barely recognizes herself. All she can really think of is her shadow on a window pane: heavy with armor. She feels profoundly vulnerable as a woman with features, softness.

She looks down at all this thin, ripped fabric. People here must walk around without fear of being eaten by each other. She supposes that's the real difference, this place isn't possessed of madness despite the monsters walking in it. ]

I don't want to draw so much attention...

[ It's not that attention grabbing, Anna... ]

[ryototsukai]

Trust me, by Tamamo standards? This is very tame. [ Musashi giggled, shaking her head.

But she doesn't miss that sense of vulnerability, either. And with a softer look, she gave a small hum. ]

But... You strike me as someone who wants a good place to hide a weapon in your clothes, right?

[notched]

Does it need to be hidden?

[ Shouldn't they just... swagger around and intimidate people? Why else is she even here? She doesn't understand and frowns to herself, giving the cropped edges of that jacket another fitful little tug. ]

[ryototsukai]

I mean I carry my swords openly, but that's just a samurai thing, yanno?

[ She didn't know, Musashi. ]

I guess you hunters are more like that, then?

[notched]

Aye, Yamamura carried like that.

[ Before he lost his mind and all that. ]

There's no time for hidden weapons when there are beasts about. Makes the locals think twice about throwing rocks too.

[ryototsukai]

It's less the locals you need to be worried about here and more any Shuten Clan guys hopped up on sochu and testosterone. [ Musashi sighed, shaking her head. ]

So what you're gonna want for this ensemble is a stylish harness, right?

[notched]

...Aye. And a nice belt.

[ Hunters are notorious for the gear they carry, always ready with something out of their pouches and vials. She's disinclined to change her tune, although she will need to explore the armory to take in her options. ]

Might've done better as a Shuten, been a long time since anyone's asked me to be decent.
