I – Substories – Can’t Download a Clue

[Enty felt bad for the kid, she really did. Running your own business can’t be easy. Still this wasn’t exactly on the most up and up was it? Using older machines instead of anything more recent. Operating out of a garage. Not bothering to at least make the garage look decent and attractive. Then there was the problem with security.]

Keep in mind that this place is under the protection of the Sutoku Alliance.

[A bold statement to make as she kicks out a pair of would be thieves. The two look more worse for wear than Enty does.]

And don’t come back!

[A sigh before she looks over at the owner.]

This isn’t working, perhaps he needs to take inspiration from another business.

[Something to help him see just how one of these cafes are setup and ran.]


II – Substories – Drifter Grifter

Stop!

[She called out towards the man, her heels clacking on the pavement as she chased after him. Every trap he attempted to toss her way missing. Everything meant to block her off failing. Ever steps he stumbles over something, sometimes his own feet.

Luck did not seem to be on the man’s side as she was quickly gaining on him. Making the grifter curse. Enty doesn’t want to be too rough with him, but will if things escalate. Even now the grip on her bow tightens, but she doesn’t use it.

Not yet, there’s no need to. Instead she continues to follow him down the long streets, towards the docks where he was most likely looking for refuge.]


III – Plot-Relevant - Dogged the Bounty Hunters

Pardon me.

[She grasped the waist of the other person, pulling them out of the way of the oncoming blow before it landed. Using her large coat to help obscure her movements and temporarily blind the attacker. Skirting them back and away. Her grip strong and hard from years of working at sea and handling a bow. Among other things.

This whole situation is a shame, Enterprise thought to herself. To turn against one another for money alone. Well, she wasn’t here to lament. She was here to keep the number of people getting hurt to a bare minimum. Even if she was the one that had to play the part of the bruiser. Enty would rather things not get to that point. But acknowledge that it all too often does.

With that in mind, she lets go of the other person from her iron grasp. Focusing her grip instead on her bow. A large weapon that’s length stood well above her own head. The draw strength on it looked like it would be insane. Yet she still wields it with relative ease, pulling an arrow from her quiver and knocking it. Making ready to draw it should the other party not back away.

Perhaps, just perhaps, she could convince them to back away.]


IV – General – Drinking and Eating by the Water

I think I’ll try the Yebisu beer.

[Something to start herself off with as she sat at her table overlooking the waterfront down below. The city lights reflecting brightly off of the darkened waters of the river. Not the ocean, not even close to it. But the waterways still felt comforting as she ate out for dinner. A small way to relax before things truly kicked off.

There was another storm brewing. And things were likely to become ever more complicated than before she had arrived. They already are.

She was lost in her own thoughts right now as she looked out and down at the waters. What would it be like to take the plunge into them? Let its cold embrace envelop her as she sinks down to the murky bottom?]


V – General - Bathhouse

[This was something she had been tempted to try for a short while now. A local, open-air bathhouse. Normally she would have simply washed off at her own apartment, but there was something she found particularly attractive to the idea. Maybe it was the stories from some of the girls from back home. The ones about the Sakura Empire’s hotsprings and similar establishments. It made sense, given the local culture that things here would be more than similar.

Maybe its her being a bit touristy. But, really, can anyone blame her? Enty never really did get to explore the ports she visited all that often back home. Just enough to relax for a moment, be repaired, and then be placed back out at the front.

Back into the thick of things.

A groan escaped her lips as she dipped down into the warm waters. Her bath accessories closeby as she allowed the warm waters to work their magic on her tired, knotted muscles. Yes, this was the right choice indeed. She had been a little hesitant to strip down at first, naturally.

But, well, she guessed that she could get used to this every once and a while.]
