week 6

[airlockedmods]

[Even with three deaths two weeks in a row, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to some semblance of normalcy come Sunday morning. The messes are cleaned up, the bodies are safe in the morgue (or in Kip's case, still in a liquor bottle in the garden) and with this new week comes a fresh crop of returning memories.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday



[ooc: Don't forget to to turn in your activity for week 5, submit your memory regains and put in your threads for the Benefactors!]

[ He grins. Hey, the cookie is pretty good. Pumpkin isn't super big as a sweet in Japan in the 80s but he's sure as hell not gonna complain when it's free food made with love (probably.) ]

's a carp, right? Ya know the legend about that carp? That swam up a waterfall and turned inta a dragon? Yakuza are real big into that shit.

[ As in, the protag for the games is the dragon and his best friend is the carp, you lucked out, Nari. ]

Fuck, this sounds like my kinda game, alright.

[everylittlesecret]

[Her food is always made with love. To make it otherwise is an insult.]

... are they trying to say at the rate I'm going I'll be a dragon? Damn. Never knew I had that potential!

[Or maybe they were just trying to match her color wise?]

Oh, it's a great game. Surprisingly even better when completely sober.

[buddyoldpal]

[ That's because Nari is great and wonderful. [

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about, see?

[ I mean that works too, but Nishitani's fox choice is obvious. ]

How's it work? Lay it on me, Nari-chan.

[everylittlesecret]

[Aw, you'd make her blush and deny if you said that.]

Church did call me a bitch, and dragons are known for their tempers.

[Please don't get mad at Church, she actually was being kind of a bitch.]

You get a black card with a prompt. Then the other people pick a white card, which goes in the blank on the card or answers the question on the black one. Like... what's better than ten dead babies in ten trash cans? The answer could be something awful like one dead baby in ten trash cans, or something dumb like hot pockets. It's all about your sense of humor and how offended people get.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Too bad because he already thinks that! ]

Fuck yeah, dragons are the best of the best! Takes huge fuckin' balls ta put a dragon on ya, means ya ain't gonna rest till ya make it to the top.

[ At least that's what it means in the yakuza. But don't worry, sometimes you get called mean things when you're as rad as them. ]

Ahhh, I think I getcha. So it really is about pissin' people off? Shit, this game was fuckin' made fer me!

[everylittlesecret]

[Nishitani, noooooooo]

I'd get a dragon tattoo, if I found a design I liked.

[Why the fuck not embrace it?]

Yes. The only problem is the people that are here. Some of them are way hella square and would be so tame to play against.

[buddyoldpal]

[ You are his strongest not-crush right now, Nari. Accept that. ]

Betcha'd look real hot with one, ain't gonna lie.

[ I mean, why would he. He's Nishitani. ]

Fuck, yer right. You an' me would have a great fuckin' time but I betcha somebody'd bitch about us playin' dirty or somethin'.

[ He looks over the cards. ]

I seen some o' these cards, they'd make even Queenie-chan blush.

[everylittlesecret]

[Gosh. She'd be so flattered to know that. Secretly.]

I think I look damn fine with the ones I got right now. The dragon would have to complement those. Make everything look like one huge piece.

[She nods at that.]

And Queenie can have quite a dirty mind for someone that adorable.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Take every compliment you can get, girl! Nishitani is rife with them. ]

Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! They look fuckin' sweet when they all come together like that. I got my tengu first, then the sleeves, then my sides and down my ass. [ He chuckles. ] Hurt like fuck.

[ He grins. Boy, he loves talking about sex just all the time. ]

Don't gotta tell me twice. I seen plenty of the moves she got, an' lemme tell ya-- she's even shown me a fuckin' thing or two.

[everylittlesecret]

It would have to match the cardinal I have, for one. Since that's a red bird... maybe a green and blue dragon?

[Those would be a good color combo.

She snorts at that.]

I'm sure she did. She's a witch, after all.

[buddyoldpal]

[ He nods. ]

I could see that. Wish I could draw it up for ya, Nari-chan, you'd look real fuckin' sweet.

[ Plus then you'd be like. Officially a yakuza. It'd be perfect. ]

Shit, ya got that right. The things she can do with those powers o' hers. Damn.

[everylittlesecret]

It's okay. I'll doodle one later, and you can tell me if I should make it fiercer or elegant. Ya know more about dragons than I do.

[Yakuza, medical examiner, librarian, elementalist... she's a Jack-of-all-trades.]

I'll take your word for it.

[buddyoldpal]

Sure thing, I'll letcha know, doll.

[ He chuckles. Ah, yes... Queenie is so wonderful. But now's probably not the time for that. ]

Anyway, that tattoo thing, yeah? Think ya can gimme a lil' somethin' orange? Just back here. [ He runs a finger behind his ear, under his hair. ] Figure I oughta give Roland 'is due.

[everylittlesecret]

Gosh, now I'm kinda excited...

[Something orange... hmm....]

How about an alkekengi? Wait... a hozuki in Japanese! They are orange and a symbol of protection and warmth.

[buddyoldpal]

[ He'll tell you all about dragons, don't you worry, Nari! The Yakuza series is literally called "Like a Dragon" in Japanese... ]

Ohhh, shit yeah, I know those! [ He grins. ] That might actually go alright wit' my aesthetic.

[ It's a very important aesthetic. ]

[everylittlesecret]

[America and their weird renaming of things...]

And what's your aesthetic?

[buddyoldpal]

[ The fact that it was marketed as "Japanese GTA" is pretty much why it tanked in the US... ]

Ya know! Flowers an' shit. Irezumi is all about beauty and there's nothin' more Japanese than flower petals and tengu an' shit.

[everylittlesecret]

I see... so I picked something good then! Cool. Let me sketch it, then I can ink it.

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, I like it! Let's fuckin' go for it, I trust ya.

[ Just draw directly on his skin.. no biggie... ]

[everylittlesecret]

[Then she will do just that.]

Gimme a time you want this done, and we'll work the magic.

[buddyoldpal]

Ya can't just do it now?

[ Yes, he is that impatient. ]

[everylittlesecret]

Well, we could. The tattoo studio should be free.

[buddyoldpal]

Cool. Then let's fuckin' do it! No point in hangin' around, right?

[ He's used to the pain, needless to say... ]

[everylittlesecret]

Follow me then~

[There will be a spring in her step as she walks. Because why not?]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Hells yeah though!! He's excited. He'll follow her anywhere, ok. ]

Ya know how ta work this stuff, then?
