[ In heels and wearing black straight-leg slacks, she looks incredibly tall. The long drape of her tail down the backs of her leg only adds to illusion further. In the summer heat, Goromi is just wearing a vest top. Broad, tattooed shoulders that cinch into an irritatingly small waist. She catches sight of Kate through her sunglasses and comes to say hello. She's all right with just sunglasses to obscure her wounded eye, there is no additional patch. ]

Yer outfit for th'festival was real cute.

[ It's not like Majima didn't notice, it's just not the kind of thing he makes small talk about when he's playing yakuza. She gets her cigarettes out of the bag she's carrying.

When it's Goromi talking it's more than just having her hair down or wearing lipstick. It's an entire change to their energy. It's an interesting skill that Majima has picked up. ]

[ Goromi keeps a part-time schedule at whichever hostess club needs someone extra on the roster on a given night. Club Mercury pays her well enough to swing in to their roster more often than usual, and it's where her regulars will peek in to look for her. She has a minor fanclub that comes to her performances and cheers for her in contests.

Little baby gay Shin is being encouraged to go talk to her, since she's in tonight. They tell Shin that Goromi-chan is an industry veteran who has great tips. Well, who could resist such an invitation?

She looks up from where she's sitting. There is no mistaking who Goromi is when she's out of costume. She's wearing a black and gold dress that's also very sheer, showing the tattoo on her chest and shoulders with plenty of clarity. When she turns, the screaming hannya mask is fully visible in a key in the back.

Besides, how many one-eyed half-snake guys are running around this town?

Goromi smirks a little and pats the seat next to her. ]

Hey there.

[ While a single cooking class is not going to save either of them, it had seemed like it might be fun. It's an absolute beginner class, the kind of recipes they teach to high schoolers in home economics. The dish of the day is croquettes, which while simple have a way of getting messy.

Goromi laughs as more potato lands on the countertop. ]

Think th'oil's ready yet?

[ It's been Majima and the Wild Snake's show for a while now, they're trying to establish something, and she can wait. She does wait, but the energy that drives Majima to just shed his skin and be someone else for a while is always building. She's ready to get dressed up and go have fun. And she has a really good partner for that endeavor. She smiles more than Majima does, toothy and earnest in her enjoyment.

She's found a themed bar to take him too, all the cool of Western rock that he could possibly ask for and live music to boot. Since it was to important to him, and all. ]

[ Azem hums thoughtfully as they eye the pot of oil on the stove. It's hard to tell just from looking at it if it's not enough to start cooking or not and the thermometer they were given has... vanished. Somehow. ]

Um, didn't they say something about using the wooden sticks to see? If they bubble or it's ready, right?

[ Azem is pretty good at retaining information even if they don't seem like they're listening. But that doesn't mean they're going to be any good at the actual cooking part. ]

[ The outfit she has on is fun. She has taken the arcade mission at its value. Majima was a 20 year old boy in Tokyo, he loves arcade games and is always willing to be stubborn and competitive over them. She's perfectly happy to wreck Fukuda with a smile. She waves hello to him cheerfully as he arrives, nails the same red color as her shoes and her lipstick. ]

Are ya ready t'lose, sweetheart?

[ She shows up in a very cute and girly dress. Its sheerness through the chest and back show the whorl of her tattoo: the hannya's angry eyes, the snakes and flowers that swim through the whirlwind. The backs of her thighs show beneath the tulle as well; it's short and bouncy.

It speaks of a good mood and like she's not actually going to beat the shit out of him. She looks ready to have a good time. ]

Akiyama-san.

[ The quirk of a smile, her lipstick a similar shade of red and purple as the flowers on the dress. ]

[The second Majima--oh wait, Goromi mentioned she was free for a night out into town, Dante rearranged all of his plans for the evening to make time for her. It's always time to paint the town red if Goromi is out to play. He wasted no time meeting her at their bar of choice. Some little hole in the wall pub with awesome acoustics and live music. The bar is very reminiscent to the pubs he used to haunt in Redgrave making Dante feel a bit nostalgic.]

Hey, babe!

[He greets her with a grin once he gets a good look at Goromi in her cute little punker outfit. The two of them kind of look like Sid and Nancy without all the horrible violence and drugs. Dante's rocking his signature look today, all clad in black and red as usual.]

You certainly know how to pick a bar. This place is great!

[ She grins back at him, she's much quicker to smile than Majima is; wide and fangy. Goromi's ethos is all about expressing herself and not stifling herself. She also knows where all the good spots are, the clients at the hostess clubs like to tell her all about it. When the hostesses and hosts hang out and drink, she hears from them too. She is smugly pleased with her acumen. She leans in against his shoulder and kisses his cheek. ]

Glad ya like it.

[ There is an intensity to the way that Majima feels about and thinks about people, when it gets a good outlet he can be pretty damn on point. ]

They got some stupidly big burgers too.

[ Like 'unhinge your jaw to get in your mouth' stupid. ]

Chopsticks.

[ She provides helpfully, rolling another croquette through its breading. ]

There's a set tucked in there with th'spoons an' shit.

[ A little red paper sleeve makes them easy to spot. ]

[ In what can only be considered a miracle, Akiyama is actually on time. He hadn't just showed up to the meeting point moments before she did and he's not out of breath. It's almost like he's a functional adult!

Don't get used to it. ]

Goromi-chan. [ He looks her over with a smile. ] You look lovely.

[ And then he offers his arm for her to hold onto. A real gentleman here. ]

Shall we?

[ She doesn't keep all these dresses. Some of them she genuinely wears for one outing before she takes them to one of the resale shops. It's a lot more fun that way.

She takes his arm with a cheerful smile, and letting him steer the way to the karaoke club. She is just about always game for karaoke, even when it's with a complete trash fire of a man. She thought she was messy until this idiot showed up.

There's some peach flavored drink that's popular in the city for the summer. It's the special so they may as well if it's not disgusting. It's delivered alongside a small mix of snacks and they're left to critique the peach thing in peace. She laughs a little, ]

Well, it don't smell like plastic.

[A silly grin settles on Dante's lips after that little peck on the cheek. What can he say? He's a romantic at heart who really enjoys the extra attention. While he knows Majima and Goromi are one of the same, he utterly enjoys how carefree Goromi is with her affections.]

Stupidly big burgers, huh?

[He questions with an eyebrow raise. It's been a while since he had a monster burger. Too long, actually. As much as he likes Japanese-inspired food, he can really cause use a stupidly huge burger right now.]

Feel like going halfsies on one? [Dante asks before looking for a menu or something.] Or do you think you can handle one of these big boys on your own?

[He gives Goromi a suggestive wink once he finds a menu card. Damn, these burgers are pretty damn huge judging from the photo. Dante can definitely wolf this monstrosity down with a tall glass of beer but he's not sure if his sexy snake lady can handle the challenge.]

[Fukuda doesn't have like, any sense of style, he pretty much just wears variations on dress shirt + suspenders at all times, excepting the summer festival when he obviously went for the yukata. At all times he has his Enma badge pinned to his shirt, just in case he has to do Cop Stuff.]

Yeah!
[His tail is wagging a little, though just as the other day, it and his dog ears seem weighted down with nervousness.]

I never went to arcades much as a kid, so I'm not very good at the games. I think it's fun though. And you look really pretty as usual, Goromi-chan!

Big as yer head.

[ She agrees with a hum, not actually paying any attention to the menu in favor of playing with his hair. Listen, Dante, she's a snake as big as a building. She can eat anything you put in front of her.

Her relationship to Chijoku is yet another variable, but the two of them at least embrace one another. They have many similarities, which is not a coincidence. Chijoku chose his host with specificity. ]

Absolutely gonna eat one.

[ Which settles that order to put in. She slides down into her own chair and turns her head to watch the small stage. She is game to hear a bunch of utterly meaningless musical trivia about people she has probably never heard of. Just explaining the canon past 1988 is a full night's worth of shit to talk about. Glam rock of the 1980s in Japan was its own scene too, plenty of room for her to contribute, even if she mostly laughs at herself and owns that her taste in music has absolutely no refinement. Whatever played on the radio is what she heard.

She has a good time, even when it's not her thing. ]

( You know, Kate thinks it's a little unfair that Majima gets to be a pretty boy and a pretty girl. Some of us can only do one!

But it's intriguing. She's used to seeing Majima in the environment of a Shuten, not... shopping for cute clothes. That in and of itself is reason enough to slow down and chat, dressed far more like herself in trainers, socks, shorts and a t-shirt, hair ironed back to pin-straightness and pulled into a high ponytail. A far cry from the tanabata outfit Goromi describes as real cute. )

Were weird.

( Kate is not yet used to kimono and yukata. They're a process to get on, the loose drapes of sleeve and obi fabric constantly drawing her attention to them. But, with a sigh, she adds; )

Looked alright, though.

( She shrugs. She did look pretty cute, Goromi is right. )

What're you doin' out?

[ Her cute aggression is immediately potent, smiling with her fangs and her golden eye languid with amusement. ]

What a good sport. I'll give ya some tips, huh?

[ She loops elbows with him, and reaches up curiously to poke an ear as they head inside. ]

Where'd ya get these?

Dropped off some clothes for sale, now it's time t'buy some new ones.

[ She has an instagram to curate, Kate! She flicks her cigarette to life off a flashy red lighter. ]

Got a discount with a couple've these shops.

[ In exchange for the occasional namedrop, nbd. ]

( Oh, sorry. Not all of us are influencers, Goromi-chan! )

'S alright for some.

( Even as Tamamo she has to pay full price. )

Wanna go together? ( It's a bit early for the seasons to be changing, but the autumn/winter stock is starting to come in and Kate would prefer to get her wardrobe ready. Just in case it ends up shitty down here. )

[ A giddy little chuckle escapes Dante once he feels her fingers sliding through his hair. He's not shameless enough to admit he likes that but he does. He likes getting all this attention from Goromi, especially since it's a bit of rarity at times. That's why he sits back and let her do as she pleases. It feels nice to let someone take charge for a while. ]

Good! Then I'm gonna order us the fattest cheeseburger they can make.

[ He says before briefly flagging down one of the workers nearby. Everyone here looks like they stepped right out of Trash & Vaudeville in their Sunday's best with skulls and spikes all over. It's very reminiscent to the punk scene in Redgrave, eerily so, but Dante is enjoying himself judging from that goofy little smile of his. For once, he feels like he's right at home. ]

Yo, Goromi-chan~ [ Oh, he's being cute now. ] Do you have a favorite band, babe? For me, it's Guns & Roses, baby.

[ Guns & Roses are popular enough that Goromi is following this commentary. They play the Tokyo Dome in the 90s. Speaking of another artist who plays Tokyo in the 90s: ]

David Bowie.

[ All of his characters and his costumes, the theatrics. It's honestly a favorite she's reasonably sure Dante could have guessed if she'd challenged him to. She smiles ruefully, ]

Flashy, glittery.

Right, those.

[ Azem digs out the chopsticks and pokes them into the oil. Sure enough, they bubble. ]

I would say it's ready.

David Bowie?

[ For some reason, Dante isn't surprised. Back in the 1980s, David Bowie was the next best thing since slice bread. Even he knows that as rock n' roll aficionado. It just makes sense that the most famous man of the decade would also be well enough known in Japan. Dante can't help but chuckle a little. ]

Oh, so you like you're guys all flashy and glittery?

[ Dante whispers as he scoots closer to Goromi. He blows a kiss at her while trying his best to encapsulate some of David Bowie's legendary charm to sweep this darling woman off her feet. ]

I can be you're "Ziggy Stardust" any day in the week, babe.
