Yumeiko no Akame no Kami

Location: Building #1; Ground Floor; Breakfast
Interactions: @Xaltwind Miyuki, @Sky Blue Nick

Yumeiko’s French toast came topped with berries and whipped cream, much to her delight. She hadn’t expected that! She knew Miyuki didn’t like to talk while eating, her elder preferred to eat in silence. While the Kyuubi calmly ate, Yumeiko puzzled out the cutlery she’d been given.

She’d never eaten western foods before, but she could tell right away that the dish she ordered would not fare well with chopsticks. She’d had a few things, just in getting here, but she hadn’t had to cut and eat, previously. A knife was on the right, and a fork on the left, so she picked each up in the respective hand. As soon as she went to cut a piece of the toast with the knife, she found her fork responding by coming in to hold it in place, like a tiny pitchfork. A couple of intuitive tools. Oh, the knife fits under the fork, even!

The first bite was placed into her mouth and she was elated! She let her knife down and cupped her face in her hand as she let out a soft squeal through her closed lips. Her tails wagged happily, and she popped one of the strawberries from her plate in after it, using her fork. Her tails stood out before waggling more, “mmm~, hmhm~!” It was warm and sweet and savory all at the same time, a rich treat for her taste buds and her belly.

The next bite was taken with whipped cream and followed with blueberries. Her noises had calmed, but she was still very much enjoying the meal. This was a fantastic substitute for taiyaki. She cleared her mouth out with a bit of the berry juice before offering, “Miyuki, you’ll have to try this, somet-”

Who was this animal? Miyuki went from her usual dignified consumption to- did one of her crumbs just land on Yumeiko’s plate? The spirit fox looked from the - there, another! - foreign crumb from across the table, back to the once-refined woman. Slowly, Yumeiko started eating the second half of her french toast, watching Miyuki with astonishment. When the elder fox was done, Yumeiko was still eating.

Miyuki tried to sound seductive and suave as she asked what the plans for the day were. Yumeiko nodded and bobbed her head as she chewed, then took a dry piece of her french toast and lifted it across the table to wipe up the bit of jam on Miyuki’s cheek, and then the butter. With condiments now on the piece of food, Yumeiko popped it in her mouth.

She swallowed, then spoke, “well, I’ve got to start forming pacts with the local spirits sooner or later. I think I’d like to just get a good look around, first, though. Do you want to explore, today?”

Before she could get an answer, someone nearby spoke. Something about a “vampire”? Yumeiko looked at the young man who had spoken, repeating the word, “vampire..?” She considered it, having heard the term somewhere before.. perhaps read it? Oh! She’d found a manga about a vampire, once. She couldn’t really tell how much of it was accurate, but drinking blood seemed to be a primary idea.

That cursed woman had thrown up blood. Was it her? “Oh.. I think I know who you’re talking about. Sacred auras seem to harm her.” It saddened the spirit fox, that she would cause someone so much discomfort with just her presence, but.. what was to be done? Shaking the feeling, Yumeiko finished the last of her fried custard bread and drank her juice.

We found the devil, he's in the details.

Umbra Rose Condos

Nah, bro, there's three buildings. I just looked back over the first post in the OOC for some details, myself, it's not a bad idea.

Umbra Rose Condos

You had fun writing the toast especially, didn't you. :P @Xaltwind I'm amazed her manners are so obliterated by finger food.

@Dragonydas, what's the surrounding area look like? Yumeiko will be seeking local gods and spirits in many places.

... I just had a great idea. For later.

Edit

Hold on, has Miyuki done this before? Or is this a first? xD Is it the toast or just finger food?

Umbra Rose Condos

@Dragonydas Now that you mention it, that does seem familiar.

Mmm, nap time.

Stratya Durmand

Time: 25th,
Location: Pinebrook Camping Event
Attire: Very Light Armor Set
Zweihander Greatsword + Simple Leather Sheath
Swordbreaker
Family Dirk + Crest
Interactions: Ariella @Tpartywithzombi
Mentions: Kira @Potter

Stratya was just taking in the beauty of her surroundings, relaxing herself for the time being, when someone came skipping toward her. Certainly a welcome distraction from brooding, the Captain smiled warmly as she turned to face the younger lady, pushing off the pillar she’d leaned gently against. She placed a hand lazily on the end of her zweihander’s hilt to steady it as she moved, a plain leather scabbard protecting the blade from dulling against the ground. Not that a big sword like that needed to be particularly sharp. Her bundle of effects were tied around the large weapon’s handguard. As she watched Ariella approach, she noticed someone else who had occupied herself with standing aside and watching. There wasn't much time to watch or analyze her, but something about her seemed out of place. Hm. Anyway.

“Lady Arriella,” she chimed, pleased to have a pleasant face to look at, “aye, the air frrom the fahrrest is crrisp an’ rrefrreshin’ an’ t’ sky is clear. Looks like therre’ll be a lot o’ food, too. Ooh, I’m rreyt glad I came.”

“ This should be quite the evening I think. How are you feeling after my brother's party? “

“Oh, I’m jes’ fine, thank‘ee f’rr askin’, swee'earr’. It’d take morre’n a strrong drrink orr two ta ge’ me ill. Even if they were unusually strrong.” The friendly knight leaned in, lowering her voice, “t’ween you ‘n me, m’Lady, I’ve been dodgin’ t’ social even’s. I'm a figh'er, nae socialite.” She leaned back again, chuckling, “I though’ tha’ was jus’ some drrink I’d never seen, aye? Hweh! More t’ fool, me.”

Speaking of the party, the knight remembered, “you were in’errested in ‘andling a blade, aye? You mentioned somethin’ at t’ par’y, but y’r fahtherr appearred and ye seemed nae inclined tae mention it ‘rround ‘im.” Stratya hummed softly as she considered Ariella, briefly, and then she dug around for a moment before producing a plain dagger from within her bag of things. “I unduhstand most lassies are nae rraised with weapons like I was. Nae t’ trea’ ye like a child, but nae swingin’ i’ ‘rround, ey? If yerr interrested in tha’, I c’n give ye figh’in’ lessons la’er. I have boffles we c’n swing abou’ at ‘ome.” The dagger was short, only most of a hand long, with a small guard.

“I brrough’ tha’ ferr forraging, but, ah,” she paused, taking another look at the surroundings of glamorous camping. It seemed like everything was provided, “I wonder if I’ll need ta.” The Captain looked between the dagger and Ariella for a moment, before asking, “‘forre I go ‘andin’ this overr to ye, Lady Ariella, what ken ye of ‘andlin’ a blade?”

Ooh, that's a good point. She's a great counter to those things. *nod nod nod*

Yumeiko would be happy to lend her abilities to the condo, as well. Priestess power that's the real deal ain't nothin' to shake a stick at. Perhaps that's something we should act out IC?

Umbra Rose Condos

Vanu, huh? Yeah, I do kinda like that tank. I find the TR community pretty chill, though. At least, on the server o played on

I just use imgur, but I feel that one's known enough I'll assume that doesn't work for you for whatever reason.

PlanetSide 2 is the current one, I dunno anything about the first game, other than there were mechs. It's a three-sided war across various island-sized maps. They call em continents, but it's more like a good sized island. Like, uh... Just Cause 2 kinda scale.
