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.)

In the end...?

[she was just staring until he was gone, her arms folded under her chest and a frown plainly plastered on her face. She looked, without question, incredibly irritated with the whole situation, but it was done, and that was the important part?]

I don't really care what happens to him, so long as I don't have to be the one to deal with him next time. How about you?

[ His response isn't immediate, his thoughts linger on the idea they may have been close to opting for the use of violence. The man was persistent, that much Xingqiu is certain of so it is fortunate that Tenshi did indeed have such a magazine on hand. But now that it is just the two of them alone. He almost asks why she has the magazine, but ultimately he decides against it. ]

While I would prefer never to encounter that man again, if need be, I would do what I can to convince him to leave others alone. Perhaps, I've been too lenient, although I assume violence isn't always a deterrent for such people. No, it definitely isn't.

I do wonder...

Hm, back then, well around the time I first arrived I met an odd man. I would have lost. I am most certain of that.

What were they like?

[He was gone. She was pretty much willing to do anything, talk about anything besides what they'd just had to deal with, so she was going to focus in on that because it was an escape from a certain pervert, topic wise.]

That man, he was eloquent and well-spoken, but beneath a veneer of polite graciousness, his true nature laid. What kind of man makes little if no attempt to hide their depravity? It's partially why I wasn't willing to swiftly resort to violence today. Although there is no comparison, this was awkward, strange even. While that time, even if there had been no audience his absolute confidence marked him as dangerous. Not the type that alludes to a man overestimating himself. It was confidence that seemed to stem from experience.

But he is long gone. Which is fortunate. I don't know if he would have challenged me again to rock paper scissors. If he had. Well, I don't know if luck would always be at my side.

[ He's going to laugh about it because it had been so stupid. He had been so stupid. And naive. Which really didn't bode well for him within the city. He had been all too content to stroll about talking to just about anyone then. Well, it was a necessity at the time, there was a need to get acquainted with other people. ]

What do you plan to do now?

[She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose before laughing a little.] yeah, I'll admit? At least he's honest about what he is. It makes him easier to handle. You just have to be willing to stoop to his level just enough.

Right now? I'm thinking of grabbing a drink and taking a hell of a hot shower. How about you?

Just enough. That or perhaps I shouldn't have shown any type consideration and instead stuck to your original plan.

[ The one that involved the weapon she brought along with her, a swift and violent end to the degenerate's actions. Caution was not needed in this situation it would seem, the man was just foul, strange and so immoral to the point decency was a stranger to him. Really, violence was the correct path in this situation, maybe he should take greater liberties here. But wasn't it always best to broker a deal? In the end, they completed their task. ]

I haven't made plans, typically I would be working, but I was asked to assist in this situation. Maybe I'll see if I can pick my shift back up, if not, I might relax at home with a book.

It's not a bad plan. Personally, I think I'm just about done for the day. I was already near the end of my shift when they asked me to step in, so I'll just wrap up and go have a drink. Something to forget and wash the taste out of my mouth, heh.

[She shook her head, sighing to herself. She certainly didn't blame him for how they'd had to deal with it. Beating the guy up would have been too extreme for either faction. They wanted it handled quietly after all.]

At least it's done. How about we hit a karaoke place up sometime, when he's not such a fresh memory?

[ The more he thinks about it the less he feels inclined to actually head back to work, perhaps like her, he too should consider relaxing a bit. There is no use in taking on a job while he is in an off mood. Well, as he said, he does have a book waiting. Ultimately he settles on that idea, not that he makes it explicitly known. ]

Perhaps, I'll have a drink too.

Nothing to forget, I'll just hope I can relax.

[ She does earn a smile from him. Karaoke seemed to be the one thing that brought them together under more pleasant circumstances even if there was no squeezing a drop of talent out of the two of them. ]

That is something I would like. Just let me know when you're free and feeling up to it.

Yeah, will do. We can hit some place up when we're not dealing with the job so much. It'd be nice to just have an easy going day, you know? Without any sort of pressure.

[Which? She actually got those from time to time. They weren't that common, but she could manage to find some time away. But, seeing as her job was done here for the moment? She kind of wanted to go take a quick shower before heading out.]

I'm going to head out. Send me a text if he shows up tonight. Just in case, ok?

[ With a doubt he agrees, even earning Tenshi a small nod from him. It would be nice, like before, when there were fewer things to occupy their time. Not that he has completely given up on those moments that bring him joy, if that had been the case he would be going out of his mind — thankfully he can balance everything but it's not all that difficult considering his life before ending up in hell. ]

It shall be done, but let's just hope he remains entertained for a long while if not distracted by something else far from here.

[ Perhaps even outside the city.

Well, it would seem this is where they say their goodbyes. If it wasn't for the circumstances that brought them together today, he would have liked their time together to be a little longer. They're busy people, however, it's time to go. So after bidding her farewell he too would depart. ]
