"I- Ah-" And Ichitaiyo had been put on the very awkward position of having to actively lie or to openly tell somebody somebody that they had once been a target of an assassination attempt. She left her mouth gaped open for a moment before rationalizing- Well, Soshi asked for it.

"Yes. Survived, but with lingering effects is all." No need to give herself a batto-man backstory right away as well. "I wasn't the main target anyhow. I guess they would have finished the job at some point years ago, I haven't been hiding or anything really."

"I see, that's... unfortunate..." Kotori said slowly. Assassinations were bad enough, but poorly executed ones were just the worst. If you're going to do it, do it properly and don't make a mess. "Well, I'm am glad you survived their bumbling ineptitude Kitsuki-san."

That brought a gentle smile. "Thank you, Soshi-san. For all it's worth, I'm glad to have made it far enough to visit this planet."

"By the way, this 'Dragon Fruit' tastes quite good."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 9:55 pm "Oh, that's a relief. I think I just saw the bright pink colour, it's not something I've seen back home." Kotori sneaks some more of her own sorbet under the veil. "It's quite a curious hue."

"Eyecatching, like you are." Ichitaiyo teased with a smirk. She didn't know why. She just felt like doing a little mischief.

Soshi Kotori wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 11:22 pm "Is that because of all the red?" Kotori asked with a quiet laugh.

"Yes! You like... a strawberry! A little sweet squeezeable one." Ichitaiyo offered in comparison. "That, and I love how your curls frame your eyes."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Fri Nov 14, 2025 2:58 am "You squeeze strawberries?" The unfiltered thought carried something between confusion and horror and defensiveness.

Kitsuki Ichitaiyo wrote: Fri Nov 14, 2025 10:04 am And Ichitaiyo couldn't avoid but barking a sharp laugh at the mere notion. "I'm just saying you're cute, and you're just reinforcing that more."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Fri Nov 14, 2025 10:14 am Kotori huffs softly beneath her veil, trailing into incoherent mumbling.

The fixer raised a brow and allowed a gentle smirk to happen... before raising her hands. "I'm making an observation, is all. If you desire for me to cease it, please tell me so."

She took the message... she thinks? It was like the Scorpion could speak on non-sequiturs sometimes.

"Anyways. Where are you from? I have been to the World of Dreams. Amazing city."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 8:55 am "That's where I'm from." Kotori gives a little nod. "It's certainly something - were you there for long, or just passing through?"

"I was there for two months, and I learned I'd need three lifetimes to hope to see all that is on offer over there. I'd like to go back there."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 8:25 pm "It is quite different isn't it, to somewhere like here." Kotori mused, watching the hustle and bustle of like around them. "I mean, it's amazing in itself, but it's always so busy and it feel so far removed from somewhere like this. Almost a little... impersonal?"

Kitsuki Ichitaiyo wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 9:06 pm "It's a planet that where you either are some kind of predator, or it'll swallow you whole." Sina agreed. "That impersonality felt like anything I signed could be a deal with a demon."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 10:30 pm "Such is life." Kotori laughed nervously, half of them probably were. In her clan's territory it just seemed like a given. "Where did you come from?"

Kitsuki Ichitaiyo wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 10:36 pm "The Pyre. It's an industrial world ona volcanic planet, build around three city domes. It's.. crowded, and you're always aware of the danger if something were to go awry, or went out of the domes without protection. Got my schooling there too."

Soshi Kotori wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 10:40 pm "A volcanic planet?!" What kind of inhospitably hellhole was that supposed to be - they even called it They Pyre! "That sounds... dangerous..." Then again the Soshi's also tended to live on the World of Mirrors - with well below freezing temperatures and subterranean habitats. She wasn't sure which sounded worse.
