After Hideous Agonizing Melody, IRL Basically

[Leo]

((OOC: Sorreh for the delay was at an all day trip to watch the shuttle launch.))

“They don’t? That’s always one of the first things I notice about people…Their eyes. They say quite a lot about the person. But, I do want to get a better look at yours.” Tsuki said, reaching across the table. She carefully slid Daini’s glasses down lower on his nose, as to get a better look. “You do have very beautiful eyes. Looking into someone’s eyes is like looking into their soul…”

Daini blinked, smiling. Since Daini is nearsighted, he could not see Tsuki well across the table. But as she got closer he was able to see her better. Her long black hair flowing gently in the air, her green eyes shining, yet closing slowly, her bright smile that luminated the table. He blushed as she kissed him and at that moment another part of Tsuki’s relative’s conversation was heard:

“Aw…I wish I had a boyfriend like him…” Sakura said, rather dreamily.

“Sorry, he’s too old for you. He’s probably in his late 20s, like Tsuki.” Koji said, in a tone that implied he was probably rolling his eyes.

“I didn’t say I wanted him as a boyfriend- I said I wanted someone LIKE him.” Sakura hissed. “And beside, I’d probably want someone a bit more energetic.”

“Is this all you think about…All day?” Yuuka said.

“It’s a very interesting subject, if you ask me.” Sakura huffed.

“I wasn’t asking you.” Yuuka stated, in a tone implying that she was trying to be a smart-ass.

“You’re just jealous since you could probably never get a boyfriend…” Sakura said, sounding rather abused.

“What?! Of course I could you little brat!” Yuuka exclaimed. Sakura and Koji snickered.

“I don’t either of you could get a guy. Now, if Sakura was less of a dough-head and if Yuuka wasn’t so demanding, then maybe. Not likely, though.” Koji said, calmly.

“D-dough head?!” Sakura said, appalled.

“I am not that demanding!” Yuuka huffed.

“I think we should ignore him, Yuuka…What about green eyes? Green eyes are pretty nice too.” Sakura said, rather hastily.

“Y-yeah. But not brownish-green, pure greens. I prefer dark green.” Yuuka replied.

“I’m rather fond of bright greens myself. Hmn…Maybe blond hair and green eyes…” Sakura said, regaining her dreamy tone.

“I believe you already like a guy with green eyes and blond hair. His name is Ra-” Koji was cut off by Sakura slapping a hand over his mouth. Daini blinked. It couldn’t be mere coincidence… could it?

“Ooh-ho-ho…” Yuuka chuckled.

“I thought we agreed we weren’t going to listen to him anymore!” Sakura said, sounding injured once more.

“Oh, but this is so interesting.” Yuuka said smugly.

“Hey, if you don’t want me to find out these things, don’t leave your diary lying around.” Koji replied.

“I didn’t leave it lying around!” Sakura said, probably turning bright pink.

“Anything else?” Yuuka said, in a tone of smug hopefulness.

“Yeah. She said she also thought his brother was ‘hot,’ but he was too temperamental.” Koji said. That sounds like another certain teenager Daini knows of.

“Yuuka…Don’t strangle him.”

“Why?”

“’Cause I wanna be the one to kill him!” Sakura exclaimed, waving her arms violently.

Tsuki smiled and laughed. “That sounds like someone we know…”

Daini nodded. “Ranpu and Kuro, if they’re thinking the same people as we are.”

“Who’re you talking about?” Ranpu was right behind Daini.

“GAH! Don’t scare me like that! What the-? Ranpu? Why the Hell are you here?”

“Kuro, Daddy, and I are having dinner here. Then I saw you here so I thought I’d say hello till you mentioned my brother and I. That a problem though?” Ranpu’s energetic side probably diminished over the… half-hour or so. He always alternates from hyper to a happy-calm and back.

To an extent, I kind of do. “No, not really.” he lied. He looked around. “Where’s the rest of your family?”

“Over there.” Ranpu pointed behind himself. Two seats to Daini’s left (Behind Ranpu), there was Yochi and Kuro, reading their menus. Yochi looked up, noticing Tsuki and Daini and waved. Kuro merely glanced at them, nodded, then returned to his menu. “So wha’ were you talkin’ about me and Kuro?”

“Don’t you have to check the menu?”

“Already know what to get!” he said with a goofy grin. Daini rubbed his forehead. Let’s just hope Sakura notices him.

“Don’t kill him, Tsuki.” he mouthed to her.

((OOC: I’m thinking about having the other employees pop up as well. Sorry, I’m just loving the running gag of this RP. XD))

[Clearing]

[[Ooc: Running Jokes are great fun. It’s kinda like the running joke of the Mac Anu bridge on GL. Every time Clearing goes there for peace and quiet, 2-5 people pop up. Clearing doesn‘t think it‘s very funny, though. XD]]

“Ranpu and Kuro, if they’re thinking the same people as we are.” Daini said, nodding. Tsuki continued to smile, looking down at the loudly colored table for a moment. When she looked back up 3 seconds later, Ranpu was there, right behind Daini. She jumped slightly.

“Who’re you talking about?” He asked.

“GAH! Don’t scare me like that! What the-? Ranpu? Why the Hell are you here?” Daini asked.

“Kuro, Daddy, and I are having dinner here. Then I saw you here so I thought I’d say hello till you mentioned my brother and I. That a problem though?” He said, in a tone that sounded all to calm to Tsuki. Well, no one could stay in a hyper mood forever.

“No, not really.” Daini said. Tsuki had a feeling he was lying through his teeth. “Where’s the rest of your family?”

“Over there.” Ranpu pointed behind him. Two seats to Tsuki’s right (Daini’s left) behind them sat Yochi and Kuro, examining their menus like your average restaurant goers. “So wha’ were you talkin’ about me and Kuro?”

“Don’t you have to check the menu?”

“Already know what to get!” He said with a goofy grin. Daini rubbed his forehead, obviously a bit stressed. Well, at least it was obvious to Tsuki, but she was good at noticing these kind of things.

“Don’t kill him, Tsuki.” Daini mouthed.

“Don’t worry. I feel pretty sane at the moment…” She mouthed in response.

“Oy! Ranpu-kun!” Sakura exclaimed, standing up at waving her arms a little. Tsuki was more than a little glad at this interruption. She was almost grateful. God bless you, child. I take back wishing you weren‘t here. She thought, expressing silently her thanks. “Whatcha doing here?”

“Both of them have very strange speech patterns…” Tsuki muttered, biting her lip. Sakura dashed up to the table, skidding to a halt next to Ranpu. She pushed up her glasses then gave him one of her very bright smiles. Her cheeks were slightly pink, and her arms behind her back, leaning forward slightly. Ah. I see. That’s why she practices being cute in a mirror. It‘s an essential for her verity of teenaged girl…Or maybe it‘s from reading so much shojo manga…

“How ya doing?” Sakura asked, still smiling very bright and cheerfully.

“She has good timing.” Tsuki whispered, smiling.

“Aww…Such an adorable little sister.” Yuuka said, sarcastically.

“I do think your jealous that you’re incapable of being ‘cute,’ Yuuka.” Koji said, smirking.

“I am not! I don’t need to be cute! I’m sexy!” Yuuka said, ruffling her hair. Koji made a ‘snerking’ noise.

“And you wonder why you don’t have a boyfriend?” Koji said, snickering. “Ow…Damn! That’s my leg, thank you very much. I prefer it in it’s non-bruised state.” Tsuki assumed Yuuka was kicking him in the shin. She once told Tsuki that kicking people was the main reason for her wearing of steel-toed boots.

“Were siblings invented solely for their brother’s and sister’s annoyance?” Yuuka said in an annoyed tone.

“More likely than not.” Koji said, shrugging.

“Some day, they’ll will grow out of the squabbling stage and be normal well rounded people.” Tsuki said, rolling her eyes.

[Leo]

“Don’t worry. I feel pretty sane at the moment…” Tsuki mouthed in response.

“Oy! Ranpu-kun!” Sakura exclaimed, standing up and waving her arms a little. Daini sighed of relife, Ranpu smiled. “Whatcha doing here?”

“Both of them have very strange speech patterns…” Tsuki muttered, biting her lip. Sakura dashed up to the table, skidding to a halt next to Ranpu. She pushed up her glasses then gave him one of her very bright smiles. Her cheeks were slightly pink, and her arms behind her back, leaning forward slightly.

Sakura distintively reminded Daini of some female characters from select anime shows, trying to act cute to attract a guy. It seems she's had her eyes on little Ranpu for a while. Ranpu doesn't seem to mind her presence. He told her trhat he's here, eating with his brother and father.

“How ya doing?” Sakura asked, still smiling very bright and cheerfully.

“She has good timing.” Tsuki whispered, smiling. Daini nodded.

"I'm doing great, Sakura-chan." He smiled. "Working at CCCorp has been pretty fun. But, as always, we need a break." He chuckled.

Daini shook his head in amusement and looked over at Kuro and Yochi. To his surprise, he saw Kuro blushing. He still had his usual angry/poker face, but he had a tint of pink on his cheeks. Daini also noticed he took a quick glance over his menu towards the table with the remaining two members of the Osaka family, Koji and Yuuka. Remembering from the conversation before, he can take a wild guess of what's going on, but he'd better figure it out without speaking.

[Clearing]

"I'm doing great, Sakura-chan." Ranpu smiled. "Working at CC Corp has been pretty fun. But, as always, we need a break." He chuckled, and Sakura laughed also, of course.

Daini shook is head, glancing back at Yochi and his remaining son, Kuro. Tsuki glanced over also. Kuro appeared to be looking at his menu, but he was actually looking just past it, at the table where Koji and Yuuka were sitting. There was a slight pink twinge on his cheeks.

"He-he! I could guess that. Tsuki says that the programmers have a penchant for generating paperwork." Sakura said, with a few odd arm motions. "Anyways...Hey, how about we leave these two alone, kay?" Sakura said, then began to drag Ranpu by the arm away from Tsuki and Daini's table.

"Bless that child." Tsuki said, once they were out of range. "Sometimes, I may wonder where they get their personalities, but...They all have one thing is common. A deep sense of tact. Hah, they seem to know when you want to be left alone."

"Keep up like that and I'm gonna leave you in a box in a gutter somewhere with a sign that says 'Free Little Brother' around your neck." Yuuka hissed.

"Wasn't it just yesterday you were going to kill me and feed my liver to Kurt?" Koji asked. "Who's Kurt anyways."

"One of my weirdo friends." She said in a passive tone.

"Okay..."

[Leo]

"He-he! I could guess that. Tsuki says that the programmers have a penchant for generating paperwork." Sakura said. "Anyways...Hey, how about we leave these two alone, kay?" she said, then began to drag Ranpu by the arm away from Tsuki and Daini's table. Ranpu nodded.

"Okay..."

"Bless that child." Tsuki said, once they were out of range. "Sometimes, I may wonder where they get their personalities, but... They all have one thing is common. A deep sense of tact. Hah, they seem to know when you want to be left alone."

Daini nodded slowly. "Ranpu didn't for a moment, though." he laughed silently.

"Here you are!" Hokoro and Tokino appeared again with the drinks and food. Daini, as always, was surprised about their appearance. But he was still used to it in a sense. It happens all the time when they're together.

"Uh... Thanks..."

"We'll be back momentarily." The two left shortly after.

Daini sighed, taking a sip of his water. He had run out of things to talk about. And with Tsuki's relatives and Yochi and his sons here, it's difficult to think. It's starting to almost get as bad as dealing with Tawainai... Sort of.

((OOC: I'm thinking in a moment that San and Ikasu will show... Not now though. XD))

[Clearing]

[[Ooc: I’m starting to think that one of the main points of these roleplays is to see how crazy we can make Tsuki and Daini. We’re currently at a 5.0. ^o^; Gad. I’ve been slow. -__- Don’t worry, now that I have my new laptop-all mine X3- I’ll be more diligent on writing.]]

"Ranpu didn't for a moment, though." Daini said, with a silent chuckle.
“Mhn…I noticed. He’s a bit on the over-friendly side…Or maybe he’s not fluent in body language.” Tsuki said, a quiet chuckle escaping her also.

"Here you are!" The father and son duo reappeared from seemingly nowhere, bearing food and drinks. As was standard policy it seemed, Daini was quite surprised to see them. Being of a bit more tranquil personality as far as surprises went, Tsuki remained quite calm. She simply waved slightly at them. The two gave them their food. Tsuki breathed in the fumes of the tea, smiling.

"Uh... Thanks..." Daini said. Tsuki nodded to them, smiling.

"We'll be back momentarily." Then the duo left. Tsuki sighed. Daini sighed.

Mhn…What to say? What to say? I generally know what to say… She took a sip of her tea, trying to think. What thinks were there to talk about? They had mostly avoided the subject of ‘The World’ for understandable reasons…But…All other topics had been long since exhausted.

“Daini…What the hell do you think happened? As in…With Shinj-I mean Mori? How did he do that…And how did I do basically the same thing? Or…Are these questions even able to be answered?” Tsuki said, sighing again and looking up at the ceiling. Damn…You almost said his real name…Or…at least you think it’s Shinji…They’re both creepy and bastardly enough…

[Leo]

((OOC: That apparently IS one of our unintentional main points, huh? It just kind of happened. We got the idea due to me having Kitty show up in the RP prior to this one. XP ))

Daini had started to eat his sandwhich until he heard Tsuki's question: “Daini… What the hell do you think happened? As in… With Shinj-I mean Mori? How did he do that… And how did I do basically the same thing? Or… Are these questions even able to be answered?”

Daini stared at Tsuki for a moment and thought. Well... one thing he thought about was the name before Mori's. Shinj... Shinjuu? Shinji? Could she be meaning the ex-boyfriend of hers? He shook his head, "I haven't a clue about what just happened. I'm still trying to understand how and why both hacker guilds have been made. I understand that the [The World Organization XIII] seems to be a bunch of terrorists of the game, and that the [Cat Guild] is countering their motives, but I'm sure there's something more to it." He felt like he was making no sense, but he couldn't figuren out what else to add, or fix, to it.

He sighed. He's not going to ask about Shinji, or whatever. She'll probably attack him, like what she seemed to want to do back in the game. But he couldn't help it, it seemed like the one topic might help clear out what the Hacker guild (the bad one) is attacking players, and stalking Zetsumei and Tsuki.

"Ah, yes, your table is right over here." And there it was something to keep himself off of his own topic, he looked over and groaned. Tokino and Hokoro was escorting a large man, and a smaller man. It's San and Ikasu. Apprarently San won the bet after a long argument because Ikasu looks awful.

"I hate our luck." Daini groaned as he took another bite of the food. "Now San and Ikasu are here,,,"

"Ah! Daini-san, Tsuki-chan! On another date?" San smiled as Ikasu grumbled.

"Here you are." Tokino said as he stood by a table a few rows away.

"Thanks," Ikasu grumbled.

"No prob," When they sat down, Hokoro passed the menues out. "I"m sorry about what happened between you and sister." Tokino said before walking off with his son right behind him.

Daini continued to eat. "I'm starting to think that if we REALLY need to talk, we have to go to a place where virtually no one can intervene. resturants and business buildings are not the best places."

[Clearing]

[[Ooc: Yeah. It makes it easier to drag on that way. ]]

"I haven't a clue about what just happened. I'm still trying to understand how and why both hacker guilds have been made. I understand that the [The World Organization XIII] seems to be a bunch of terrorists of the game, and that the [Cat Guild] is countering their motives, but I'm sure there's something more to it." Daini said, shaking his head.

“Hmn…I’ve noticed. Nothings black and white…Well, except our PC designs now…Everything’s just…Gray...Lots of shades of it.” Tsuki said, taking a small bite of her chowder. “Like…For example…Suki’s behavior. Varied. Shifted. Abnormal at best…And Nekoki was making it quite clear she had double motives…Kitty still remains very obnoxious as always…”

Please don’t ask…

"Ah, yes, your table is right over here." Tokino said. Tsuki glanced over the room, and saw the son and father duo leading two men to a table. One rather tall, one much shorter. Tsuki twitched irritably, but promised herself to remain calm. San and Isaku. Meddling graphic artists. Her blood continued to run cold, despites her efforts otherwise. She decided to just look away and started to eat her soup.

"I hate our luck." Daini groaned as he took another bite of the food. "Now San and Ikasu are here…"

“Let’s try to pretend we’re not here…And maybe they won’t notice us…” Tsuki said in a low, sullen tone. This was to no avail.

"Ah! Daini-san, Tsuki-chan! On another date?" San smiled as Ikasu grumbled.

"Here you are." Tokino said, standing next to a table a few rows away.

"Thanks," Ikasu grumbled.

"No prob," Tokino replied, Hokoro passed out menus. "I"m sorry about what happened between you and sister." Tokino said before walking off with his son at his heels.

Daini continued to eat. "I'm starting to think that if we REALLY need to talk, we have to go to a place where virtually no one can intervene. Restaurants and business buildings are not the best places."

“I think we’ve marked them off as the worst places as of today…I’d say if we really needed to talk at the moment, we could do it back at my apartment…But…I really need to get out of the house. I spend so much time inside.” She sighed, eating also. “Sometimes…I hate working at CC Corp…It pays well, but also has a hidden price….Your sanity. They take it when they give you your paycheck each month...Or sometimes incrementally throughout the week.” She paused, sitting still and staring at her chowder.

“But…I also love it a lot also at times…Hosting events…Planning with the graphic artists and programmers…and hey. If I had turned down the job offer…I wouldn’t have met you, would I?” She swapped her glum look for a smile. “Perhaps we could go to a park after this…Just for the fresh air.”

“But…I also love it a lot also at times…Hosting events…Planning with the graphic artists and programmers…and hey. If I had turned down the job offer…I wouldn’t have met you, would I?” She swapped her glum look for a smile. He blushed, smiling as well. “Perhaps we could go to a park after this…Just for the fresh air.”

Daini nodded. "Not a bad idea. I need to get outside more, anyway." That's true, other than some strolls in the dark, he's normally inside his room or he's at his office at work. I do need to get out more.

Kuro and Yochi had already ordered what they wanted and ordered for Ranpu. As they waited, Yochi looked around the place. as Daini might guess, he's looking for women to flirt with. As for Kuro, he seems to be fixated at the table in which Yuuka and Koji are still occupying,

"Something the matter, son?" Yochi asked after realizing his son's behavior.

"Nothing, father, it's just..." He glaced at the table and leaned over, whispering to Yochi. The father laughed.

"Kuro, you like her, don't you?" Kuro's face went pink again and looked away. "Then go and ask her out." Kuro shook his head.

"I'm not like that! I'm not like you who tries to go out with every female you meet!" Yochi raised a brow and shrugged.

"Fine, be single forever then." He joked before going back to looking around the cafe.

Down by San and Ikasu, they were making another bet. "How much you want to bet Kuro is going to ask Yuuka out on a date?" San said.

Ikasu studied the two. "I'll bet ten dollars and my next paycheck that he won't."

"I bet the same then." San and Ikasu shook hands, confirming the bet.

Daini shook his head. "CCCorp has an odd bunch of employees, eh?"

((OOC: In a select amount of way, it seems like that Kuro is a Cardcaptor Sakura Shaoran kind of character, no?))

[Clearing]

[[Ooc: Yeah, kinda. :3 Sorry that I'm so lazy...]]

"Not a bad idea. I need to get outside more, anyway." Daini said, after blushing slightly. Tsuki smiled.

"It's true of anyone who holds our job..." Tsuki said, laughing slightly. Her head tilted, getting a view of Yochi and his son's table. They seem to be having a conversation that was turning Kuro quite pink. About a girl. He had been looking at Yuuka and siblings table. "Aww...Isn't he a sweetheart?"

Somewhere across the room, another gambling expenditure was going on.

"How much you want to bet Kuro is going to ask Yuuka out on a date?" San asked, Tsuki briefly wondered how the hell they knew her niece's name.

Ikasu studied them. "I'll bet ten dollars and my next paycheck that he won't."

"I bet the same then." San and Ikasu shook hands, confirming the bet.

Daini shook his head. "CCCorp has an odd bunch of employees, eh?"

"And one of them is about to be very, very poor." Tsuki said, looking annoyed back towards the gambling duo. "But apparently they can't hire you if you're even close to normal."

Sakura was still babbling to Ranpu in her strange, teenage language. It baffled Tsuki how she could talk so fast, yet still have people who understood. Tsuki just shook her head and continued to eat.

"This place is chock full of strange people." Yuuka said, leaning back in her chair. "Like them for example-" Yuuka said pointing at Tsuki and Daini. Then she pointed at San and Ikasu. "And especially them. Let's see...who else..."

Koji continued eating silently, pointing straight forward at his sister.

"Why you little-" Yuuka said, glaring at Koji coldly. He snickered silently.

"It may be a good idea to get out of here before Yuuka kills her brother...We might get caught up in the investigation of his death." Tsuki said, rolling her eyes and smiling.

[Leo]

"It's true of anyone who holds our job..." Tsuki said, laughing slightly. Daini smiled and looked over to Ranpu and Sakura. Sakura is yapping her mouth away while Ranpu seems to understand what the heck she's talking about. "Aww...Isn't he a sweetheart?" He turned to see what Tsuki was talking about and saw Kuro and Yochi having a conversation. It was about a girl. Who? Daini wasn't concentrating, so that he can't truly answer. And last he checked, Kuro isn't exactly a "sweetheart." He continued to eat his sandwich as Tsuki answered his earlier question:

"And one of them is about to be very, very poor." Tsuki said, looking annoyed back towards the gambling duo. "But apparently they can't hire you if you're even close to normal." It's true, virtually every member he's seen is somewhat strange.

San and Ikasu, both goofy in public, and gambles privately; Yochi, the absolute flirt that seems to fall for virtually every female he meets; The Honda family and their odd nicknames; the five hackers, Duck-man, squirrel-girl, Takahashi, the shy klutz; Bernice, the hyper nut; and Aoiro, the hacker that seemingly never leaves his office. There's a few more, but that'd be too much writing.

"This place is chock full of strange people." Yuuka said, which turned Daini's attention to her. "Like them for example-" Yuuka continued, pointing at Tsuki and Daini. Daini sighed of small annoyance. Then she pointed at San and Ikasu. "Especially them. Let's see...who else..."

Koji continued eating silently, pointing straight forward at his sister.

"Why you little-" Yuuka said, glaring at Koji coldly. He snickered silently.

"It may be a good idea to get out of here before Yuuka kills her brother...We might get caught up in the investigation of his death." Tsuki said, rolling her eyes and smiling.

Daini continued to eat and nodded as a reply. After finishing, he said, “But if I were an investigator, I’d be pretty convinced it would’ve been me or you… ‘Specially since I wasn’t the nicest guy in the city for a decade, and since you can get…”

“Extremely scary when mad?” Tokino asked as he walked up to them. For the first time, Daini didn’t jump in any shape or form. Daini just nodded, eating the rest of his sandwhich. "So how's the dinner going on?"

"Alright, I guess." Daini stood up, "Excuse me." He turned to the restroom and walked in.

Watching Daini walking away until the door closed, Tokino imediately turned to tsuki, asking, "So what's up between you can my brother anyway?" Topkino wasn't jeering anymore. He had a dark tone in his voice. "My brother's not one that'd fall for a woman easily. It was only three months after meeting Tawainai was when Daini started to go out with her, and Suki, it took almost their entire junior year. I just don't understand how Daini would even go on his first date with you after meeting you for a month.

"Look, what I'm trying to say is, why are you hanging with him in the first place? You mentioned that 'Shinj' person. And by the sound of it, it sounds like you had another guy in your head." He sat directly in front of Tsuki. "Bite my head off if you want, but I need to know."

((OOC: As much as Tokino can be a creep, he knows things, and he cares for his brother. If he's wrong, he don't care, he likes getting destroyed by women anyway. :3 ))

[Clearing]

[[Ooc: Tokino’s an uke, then? XD Sorry…That’s what I thought when I saw ‘destroyed by women.’ I’ve just watched Journeyman, which is an awesome show but it’s so unfunny it makes my face hurt, so my brains a little screwed up…I also watched Heroes, which is more hilarious to me that it probably should be…Like when Kensai was cutting himself with his katana to test if he was really unable to be p’wned by arrows and junk.]]

“But if I were an investigator, I’d be pretty convinced it would’ve been me or you… ‘Specially since I wasn’t the nicest guy in the city for a decade, and since you can get…” Daini said, finishing up eating.

“Extremely scary when mad?” Tokino finished, walking up to them. Daini remained fairly calm this time, not choking on the food he was eating, and just nodding. Tsuki rolled her eyes, slowly finishing the last of her chowder. "So how's the dinner going on?"

"Alright, I guess." Daini stood up, "Excuse me." He turned to the restroom and walked in.

Tokino watched and waited til the door closed, then turned to Tsuki. "So what's up between you can my brother anyway?" He asked in a dark tone. . "My brother's not one that'd fall for a woman easily. It was only three months after meeting Tawainai was when Daini started to go out with her, and Suki, it took almost their entire junior year. I just don't understand how Daini would even go on his first date with you after meeting you for a month.”

Tsuki stayed completely silent, with a quiet look on her face. It was somewhere between pretending not to listen and annoyance.

"Look, what I'm trying to say is, why are you hanging with him in the first place? You mentioned that 'Shinj' person. And by the sound of it, it sounds like you had another guy in your head." He sat directly in front of Tsuki. "Bite my head off if you want, but I need to know."

“Let’s start from the top. To your second inquiry actually about our first date, I don’t know, ask your brother. His idea. If you really need to pry into that matter, ask him. I don’t read minds, I’m not some sort of odd, mythic being.” Tsuki said, in a quiet, overly calm tone. “Shinji was and is a creepy asshole that was obsessed with me and never got over it. If I wanted to talk about it to someone, I’d talk to my cat. He doesn’t speak, he just listens. Shinji’s a memory I always suppress, but it was brought up today by some odd circumstances that would take too long to explain in even a long amount of time.”

“Daini always seems sad to me for some reason…That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I like seeing him smile. He’s very kind and sweet, as much as he tries to act cold and hard. I really want to understand him…He’s doesn’t talk much, especially about people he’s know. I didn’t even know he had a brother or sister til it happened to come up today. I know he blames himself for a lot of things that happen…Just about everything bad around him, it seems.” Tsuki said, a faint smile on her face. “You two don’t act very much alike for being brothers, you know. You’re not very subtle, and you’re apparently pretty good at split-second personality changes. But you do have 1 thing in common. You’re very protective of those around you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be interrogating me like I just bombed a subway…and Daini wouldn’t constantly fret about everything. You both kinda need to lighten up, ya know.” She said, smiling at him brightly.

[[Ooc: Tsuki has had enough blowing up for a good while. No one can stay pissy constantly. And plus, Tokino prolly doesn’t deserve it. ^-.-^ I’m gonna go to sleep now while I remain sane. I’ve just watched one episode of Pitagora Suicchi like…40 times over. All I can say is “Bota, Bota, Bota, Botajin…” And “Te wo yoko ni, ara abunai…” Japanese children’s television is a pretty good way to learn actually useful Japanese. Most of what I’ve learned from anime is how to swear at people and insult them…And to ask where Jenova [Mother] is.]]

((OOC: Let's just say he had troubles getting a girl due to his snappy attitude in his younger years.))

“Let’s start from the top. To your second inquiry actually about our first date, I don’t know, ask your brother. His idea. If you really need to pry into that matter, ask him. I don’t read minds, I’m not some sort of odd, mythic being.” Tsuki said, in a quiet, overly calm tone. “Shinji was and is a creepy asshole that was obsessed with me and never got over it. If I wanted to talk about it to someone, I’d talk to my cat. He doesn’t speak, he just listens. Shinji’s a memory I always suppress, but it was brought up today by some odd circumstances that would take too long to explain in even a long amount of time.

“Daini always seems sad to me for some reason…That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I like seeing him smile. He’s very kind and sweet, as much as he tries to act cold and hard. I really want to understand him…He’s doesn’t talk much, especially about people he’s know. I didn’t even know he had a brother or sister til it happened to come up today. I know he blames himself for a lot of things that happen…Just about everything bad around him, it seems.” Tsuki said, with a faint smile on her face. “You two don’t act very much alike for being brothers, you know. You’re not very subtle, and you’re apparently pretty good at split-second personality changes. But you do have 1 thing in common. You’re very protective of those around you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be interrogating me like I just bombed a subway…and Daini wouldn’t constantly fret about everything. You both kinda need to lighten up, ya know.” She said, smiling at him brightly.

Tokino sat there for a few seconds then sighed. He stood up and tossed the check onto the table. After that, he shrugged, smiling. "You'd be surprised how much of our family is like that. You should see my niece, Hinata Miazaki.

"I just didn't want my little brother to get stuck with a whore." He started to walk away. "Just, remember to pay for that, or I will bother you to no end."

Daini had returned from the restroom. He looked at Tokino, who's back at his usual spot, then to Tsuki, then to the check. "Erm... did you remember to bring any money this time?" He started to rumage in his pockets. "Insanely rushing to your apartment earlier probably costed me in forgetting my wallet."

((OOC: Not only that, he doesn't like anything in his pockets except cloth for his glasses, an MP3, and occasionaly his cell phone. And yes, Tokino can be a bit of a threatening sort of guy. And he's merciless, no matter what.

I think Ilve figured out a good finale for this RP. Daini and Tsuki are still going to the park, correct? I'd think maybe there should just be one last person to meet. And she's virtually unbothersome. You have a clue who I'm talking about, no?

Two hints, her name has four letters and it is Japanese for Love.))

[[Ooc: I saw that one coming from across the room on my right side. 9_9 (And I have little to no peripheral vision on my right, because I have mono-corrective vision) I was wondering when she’d show, since it was bound to happen. I was running out of possibilities anyways. And don’t mind Tsuki’s reaction too much. Women- and I know this because I am one- take it rather personally when it’s even suggested that they’re whores. It’ll turn any normal, calm woman into a mouthy bitch in no time flat…and I’ll leave it up to you to decide what Tsuki’s mouthing at Tokino…It shouldn’t be too hard to fill in.]]

Tokino sat there for a few seconds then sighed. He stood up and tossed the check onto the table. After that, he shrugged, smiling. "You'd be surprised how much of our family is like that. You should see my niece, Hinata Miazaki.

"I just didn't want my little brother to get stuck with a whore." He started to walk away, and Tsuki made a rude gesture to his back and mouthed quite a few obscenities in the same direction. She did not like t comparison. "Just, remember to pay for that, or I will bother you to no end."

Daini returned to the table. After looking at his brother, to the check, and then back to Tsuki, he spoke. "Erm... did you remember to bring any money this time?" He said, rummaging through his pockets. ”Insanely rushing to your apartment earlier probably costed me in forgetting my wallet."

“Well, you’re in luck today that I happened to stick my wallet into my blue coat earlier today. I was wearing it earlier today also, and I never took it out.” Tsuki didn’t bother to mention that she went out of the house just to give coffee to Thi, and that she never took it out since right after she got home she fed the cat and then started playing [The World.] “So I can pay.”

She picked up the bill, silently turning it over and scrawling something on the back of it with a pen she pulled out of her pocket along with her wallet. She quickly placed it back down and put down the money for the food and a tip. She then walked to where Tokino was standing, and handed him the check and payment. She gave him a rather annoyed smirk. The message she had written on the back was a simple one.

You don’t have very good luck with women, do you? You obviously don’t know how to treat one.

She nearly snickered as she walked out of the café, the bells on the door jingling as her hand left the door. She buttoned up her coat, holding her umbrella under her arm. No real rain, only a light sprinkling of rain. Fog drifted off the streets of Tokyo, giving the cars and scenery an unreal feel.

“Tokyo’s a really beautiful city, isn’t it…?” Tsuki said, smiling and looking straight forward. “You know…Some time I should introduce you to my brother, Yuuka, Sakura, and Koji’s dad. They act a lot like he used to when he was younger…Man, just saying that makes me feel old!” She laughed.

“Anyways, let’s go. It isn’t too far, and there’s less of a chance of being followed and hunted down by the people that still linger in the café.” She said, rolling her eyes. “I swear, they’ve got to be following our every move. As if their main function is to break up conversations…Heh…probably not.” She laughed again, then started to walk forward.

[[Ooc: Does that count as breaking the fourth wall right there? ^3^;;

And yeah…as you probably already know, Tsuki has a sadistic streak that shows up from time to time. Generally if people annoy her, she has a habit of trying to get the last laugh. This probably wears off from the fact that nearly all of her family is like this. Notice how Yuuka and family turned out? Most of Tsuki’s relatives are like that, a little less on the death threat thing though.]]

((OOC: No, I wouldn't say that's breaking the forth wall. If she said seomthing, like "Maybe some supernatural being is controlling them to bother us." then it may seem like breaking it.))

“Well, you’re in luck today that I happened to stick my wallet into my blue coat earlier today. I was wearing it earlier today also, and I never took it out. So I can pay."

Daini nodded, sighing gratefully. He knows, even though one of the employees is his brother, it doesn't mean he'd be merciful to Daini and Tsuki. He picked up his umbrella as Tsuki quickly wrote something onto the bill, paied for the food, stood up, and quickly gave it to Tokino.

He quickly followed Tsuki, but he moved slow enough to hear Tokino say, "Cynical bitch,"

Catching up to Tsuki, he observed the even more humid city the is Tokyo. With the small shower and fog, it made the scenery a bit of to Daini's liking. Dark and unreal... ish.

“Tokyo’s a really beautiful city, isn’t it…?” Tsuki said, smiling and looking straight forward.

"A bit, yes." It's true, along with the look of the scenery, the lights made it look more beutiful.

“You know…Some time I should introduce you to my brother, Yuuka, Sakura, and Koji’s dad. They act a lot like he used to when he was younger…Man, just saying that makes me feel old!” She laughed.

"It may be a good idea. If we even have time."

“Anyways, let’s go. It isn’t too far, and there’s less of a chance of being followed and hunted down by the people that still linger in the café.” She said, rolling her eyes. “I swear, they’ve got to be following our every move. As if their main function is to break up conversations…Heh…probably not.” She laughed again, then started to walk forward.

"Maybe, but you can't read minds... unless you're that receptionist back at CCCorp that always knows what you're doing." He chuckled as he caught up to her.

Nearing the park, the rain started to lessen and the road became slightly clearer. The park was set at the bottom of a group of extremely small hill. There are short concrete walkways to go in an out of the park, plenty of extra space for picnics, and a small playground that can fit as much as ten children without having the kids forcing people to finish the lide, or monkey bars and such. But at the time of day this was, no one was around, save Daini, Tsuki, and someone on a swing set.

A rather petite girl sat on one of the swings. She was about five foot six. She held the chains with her hands as she hung her head, looking down at the sand. On the sand is a pair of crutches. Her deep brown hair was short, but long enough to pass her shoulders. She wore a pink sweatshirt with a jacket draped over it. She also wore long jeans and white sneakers. Her azure eyes moved up, hearing footsteps from afar. Focusing upon the couple she imediately blushed, looking away. She recognized one as Daini Akayami, her boyfriend back in High School. But the woman she looked upon was vaguely familiar to her. Like she had seen glimpses of the woman somewhere before. Then she remembered back at the cafe. Daini was there an hour or so ago with the exact same woman who wispered mean things about her friend Tawainai. Then it stuck her like a boulder; she had only heard one woman, as far as she can remember, that dislikes Tawaianai so much that she'd put her name in the same sentence with curses and swears.

Tsuki.

She attempted to stand up, neglecting her crutches, but instantly fell after a sharp pain stabbed through her left leg. She bit her lip as she pushed herself up and sat on the sand of the playground. She covered her eyes. I didn't want to interupt their date! I'm positive they saw me! D-Damnit!

And it's true, one of them noticed the small "Thump." Daini imediately turned when he heard the sound and saw the woman sitting there.

Shit... Suki's here. Now what am I supposed to do?

((OOC: Kind of a subtle post, and I didn't put in Tsuki's remarks to Tokino, but the location you placed that statement, it didn't seem like it could fit in my post correctly. *Shrugs* Well, here's Suki... Yeah...))
