Who Tenshi and YOU!
What General July Shenanigans, Substories and Plot-stuff
When July!
Where All around
Content Warnings CW Stardust/Magic Drug induced Rough Sex (Ibaraki thread), mild injuries, nudity, might be some weapon play

1) Time-Consumption (Sub-Story)
Tenshi was staring down at this really pretty watch that she'd picked up out of a dumpster. No, she wasn't dumpster diving. Don't judge her! Look, she was just tossing something and saw it in there. Never you mind the unlucky snot who was still in the dumpster. They were still breathing. Probably. Hopefully. It wasn't her fault and it wasn't her problem either.

She wiped the grime off of it and stared for a minute. "Damn. This looks valuable. What the hell was this doing in there?" She frowned.

(OOC: Only request - its disappearance does not lead to permanent/fatal harm to either character. Plenty of other hilarious awfulness before she inevitably loses it.)

2) Cursed Corners
The cackling was getting on her nerves. She raised her hand up and shook her fist at the lipstick wearing hag on the roof. "Get down here you witch! What do you think you're doing?" Of course, her shrieking had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that there was a blue haired punk with a crowbar that she was currently fending off with her bokken, just barely. It was a hallucination. She knew it was a hallucination, but that did not change the fact that she really didn't like this girl.

"I'd like to see you handle a kappa!" That got a few laughs from the onlookers.

3) Mr Libido (Sub-Story)
She groaned. "I thought I was supposed to have gotten a promotion," she muttered as she finished a slice of peach before pocketing the pit in a small bag out of respect. She wiped her hands and looked over at the nearest contracted agent, regardless of their faction and folded her arms. "Whaaaatever. So we have to go deal with a pervert. Like it or not, that's the job. You in, I assume?"

She reached for her sword, paused and left it there, going over to grab a wooden bokken and prop it up on her shoulder. "No killing. He's just a damned pervert. Let's just hope he's not a masochist if we have to beat the snot out of him."

4) It's In the Stars... (Plot-Related)
Finding stardust was the order of the day, and so she had a bag out and was rifling along the river beds and the less likely to be poured over, hunting for the little crystals. She let out a crooning sound of delight when she found one, grabbing it and blinking as she felt a sort of warm sensation when she picked it up, staring at it for a moment. "That's funny."

Oh, did she hear someone? She turned her head to regard whoever had just happened by, popping the crystal into her bag and checking to see if she knew them from the faction. Better safe than sorry. She intended to get these back to them, not just hand them over to someone else... "Here to help?" she said, eyebrow raised but a smile on her face.

5) It's In the Stars.... Fight Club Flavored (Plot-Related)
Tenshi had moderate success with getting the stardust crystals, perhaps more because she was just sort of obsessed with finding them in her spare time. She wanted to impress her masters enough that they gave her some more leeway, or perhaps something actually useful to her. So, she was trying to put in an effort. The side effect, however, was that she was carrying enough of a supply that there was beginning to be an effect, and perhaps not an entirely positive one.

Having closed her satchel and properly secured it, her eyes were starting to dilate and she felt her hand twitching at the side, running over the wooden sword at her side. She caught sight of someone who looked promising and pointed at them. "Hey, you! Yeah, you!" she shouted, grinning with a look on her face that could only be described as lightly ecstatic. "You look good for a fight, whattaya say?" Seriously, someone needed to remind her that she wasn't in Shuten. "Come on. Off the streets. Don't want those Emma guys getting uppity." Yeah, she would have said that even if they were in Emma.

(OOC: Tenshi, in canon, gets the biggest kick out of having adventures and getting into fights, proving herself, so ... yep. She's feeling the urge for a tussle in good fun. Again, no permanent harm. She has the sense to break out the wooden sword for this after all.)

"It's actually kind of a normal thing for me. Not the getting my butt handed to me part. I'm kind of a badass. But fighting Kappa? Oh that's totally normal." She shrugged and smirked over at him. "Youkai like they have here are all over my world, though they're all more human in appearance."

She smirked and nodded over at him. "Alright. Well, it'll be a deal, at least as soon as we have to do something anyway. This stardust stuff just takes time."

"Fightin' kappa specifically, or other types of youkai too?" Figures there would be people who love fighting no matter where he went. Ah well, at least Tenshi's not trying get Nero into a fight after just meeting him.

Maybe he should reevaluate who he normally hangs out with at home.

He gives a slight smile and a nod as he continues looking for the stardust. A good pay out is as decent a reason as any to go along with this.

"Kappa was just my last duel before I got here. I've fought all kinds of youkai before, and a few other kinds of beings. It's something we do when we get bored down there." No, Tenshi. Most people had reasons for doing what they did. You're the one who started fights purely out of boredom.

As she found another piece, she shivered a bit and looked it over. "Say... you got any idea why this stuff feels this good to handle? You've never seen anything like it before have you?"

"Heaven is down?" He doesn't know what the layers of hell, heaven and earth are supposed to be. This is an honest and slightly confused question. But honestly starting fights just from boredom is unfortunately familiar to him.

"Could be somethin' about the magic in them?" He's used to collecting star sugar, but that's different. It definitely didn't lead any weird lingering heat behind when he touched them. Those were just a slightly different, slightly better kind of sweet.

"Eheh. Over there. Nah, heaven's way up. More of its own plane of existence. Hence the whole 'heavens' thing. I just meant back in my world." And she wasn't always great with words. "And yeah, I'm thinking these things are probably magical in some way. I bet they're having a little effect on us... must be what they're looking for. Doesn't feel bad though at least."

Pause. "You're not feeling bad are you?"

"Huh. We don't really have that concept back home." But he's willing to learn a little, now that he's here. He holds up his one piece up to the light, it just feels warm? Not in a bad way to him.

"... Kinda wanna drink." And if that's all the effect it has on him, he's fine with it.

"I have to remember a lot of your worlds don't really have the idea of heaven." Nah, she was never going to remember. Let's be honest about this. She didn't have the patience to remember things like that.

"A drink? Yeah, we could totally go out for drinks when we're done getting some of this up, but after we drop them off at the base. You'd be surprised how easy it is to lose things around here."

Let's be honest. There's a lot of things that people are just not going to remember, because it's simply not going to be relevant to them. Where's Japan? Who knows. They're in hell not on Earth.

"'cause of pickpockets, or something else?"

"Well that's part of it. Thieves mostly, but there's curses too, monsters and plenty of other things that could cause you to lose whatever it is you were trying to get." there had been that watch recently, after all. Oh man was that annoying.

"It's best to just finish your work whenever you're doing it, and then play afterwards so you're not going to get called in again afterwards. In theory."

"How many curses and monsters are we worried about down here?" Help. Probably more than a handful, if it's hell. Probably enough to be a problem. Best to go straight back to the faction and deliver whatever amount of stardust they can find.

"Got it. Good advice." He figures playing does not actually count as legitimate activity and he could be called back in. But maybe it works? Who knows.

"Well, it's a city full of youkai and a lot of them basically are curses made flesh? There's absolutely lots of weirdness you can deal with. Not every day but enough to be aware you should watch out if something feels weird." Ignoring the fact that the stardust definitely felt a tiny bit wierd right now.

"So, what do you do for fun?"

"Drink wine, cook, enjoy the peace and quiet. Maybe chat with somebody about the recent events." And also steal. There was a lot of theft in his past, and even in his present he advocates for break-ins way too much to not be suspicious. That's not something he's just going to offer up to somebody he barely knows without a reason.

"Sounds kinda idyllic and quiet. I prefer my life to be a bit adventurous, but everyone's got their thing." She wasn't going to knock it either, because cooking for yourself and drinking were definitely things in short supply back home, so they could be their own adventures.

"This place's probably a little faster paced than you'd like though, isn't it?"

He kind of figures. Her type is always somewhere nearby, even if he doesn't particularly mean to run into them.

"I can deal with it." He doesn't want to, but with little other choice, it's the only option for him. At least he's experienced several other cultures already. Not as much of a culture shock as the younger Eastern wizards would have experienced.

She grabbed up another piece and crammed it into the bag before nodding over at him. "So, the good news is that you're going to find that we've got a few over at headquarters who have a thing for being supportive, so you're not alone." Not that she wasn't useful herself, but Musashi, Jin and Nie were all pretty helpful souls.

He shoves another star piece into his bag. "'s good to know. How's the boss?" How worried does he have to be about running into her during a normal day?

"If you mean the kitsune who runs the place? She's the picture of elegance and poise, and everything you might expect from a nine-tailed fox. Deceptive and whimsy, a little manipulative if she wants to be, but always smiles until she really needs to bring out the claws." A shake of her head. "Never screw with an old fox. They're tricky things, not that I'm speaking ill of her. It's just a good rule of thumb. I don't think she's the type to do direct punishments, but she'll find a way."

A pause and there was a little color in her cheeks after. "If you mean Musashi-sama? Uh, she's not what I expected at first. Really pretty, and easy going. Heh, she's always asking me what I did this time. It's like old times that way. Someone always checking up on me."

"Was askin' after both of them." He had no plans on crossing his new boss, but he did wonder what she was going to be like. The only boss he's known was... much closer to Shuten than Tamamo's.

He does note the blush in her cheeks and will tactfully not say anything about that.

She nodded. Good plan for him to be aware of both of those leaders. "So, yeah. I think you'll find most of the folks in Tamamo seem to go the soft-handed route, as a rule. It's why we've had trouble with Shuten in the turf war, though I think they're going to come up with a negotiation or something." She sighed. "Kind of a pity. But I'm sure there'll be another chance to get into it. I like a good scrap."

"Thought there was a fight pit in Shuten?" If she really wants a fight, it seems like a pretty reasonable place to get them. A soft hand can fix some things, but others need a much more direct approach. It really depends on what the problem is at the core of it.

"There's an arena. I've been thinking about it, but I didn't want to go until the Truce was final, just in case someone decided to get on my case." She was without question planning on going next month, when things had settled down. "It'll at least get me the chance to work the bugs out of my technique."

Though, the old man had insisted she didn't want the celestials of this world to know she had her sword back, given that it was definitely something they'd recognize, so she'd have to play it a little easy going on the fights most of the time and keep it physical. Bah, it'd still be fun.
