(D4, MA, Tori Tea, Open) A last minute substitution

[Yasuki Taraka]

"Niiiice" and then immediately "Can you gamble on it?"

Taraka smiles a bit.

"We'll we've got a graded league going on, and Yoritomo Yakura of the Azure Dragon is well aware of that. She even co-hosted a gathering there yesterday." she said, implying you absolutely could

Taraka smiles a bit.

"Oh hell yeah, if Yakura's got something going on there then it can't be that boring."
She pounds a fist into her palm.
"Maybe I'll swing by? Not much for drones, but if stuff is blowing up and money is changing hands...."

So energized the Mantis leaps to her feet.
"Right, I'm off to a hot date and then to fight some leech ghost things. If I see you on the wrong side of those streets though...you understand I have to defend the governor's honour."

Taraka titled her head at that.

"Oho, it's gotten that serious huh?" she said, before rising to bow to the Mantis.

"Don't worry, Yoritomo-san. Should you fall, a single black rose will be left on your grave marker." she offered with a wicked grin.

"Ehhh, what can I say. She's a compelling figure, gotta protect the queen after all!"
With a feral grin of her own.

"To my loyalists, anything. To the rebels, the black rose!"
Ochiba only barely resists jumping atop a table and challenging the whole shop.

"Win or lose though...it'll be memorable. Until we meet again, Yasuki-san!"
Exit Ochiba, fully prepared for thundervolt battle.
