Shop Visits! (Open post!)





[Maybe you stumbled upon the front gate to a strange house while walking in your neighborhood. Maybe you found it nestled between skyscrapers in a downtown area. Or maybe you didn't stumble across it at all, and instead fell into the backyard or something. The way you got there matters little. What really counts is that you're there for one reason: a wish.

A want. A desire. Something you can't get on your own. Something you want so badly that you would do anything to get it.

Well, you've come to the right place.

There's plenty to see in the house. The foyer is nice, and the kitchen is well-stocked. There's several other rooms as well: a sitting room, a dining room, a couple bedrooms for the people who wander upstairs to look, and a rather luxurious bathroom too. Several rooms open to the outside as well, so it's easy to come inside by many different paths.

But ultimately, you will end up face-to-face with a screen that opens into a room with a table and two chairs which overlooks the backyard.

And in that room, you will find the shopkeeper.

[What happens now? Well, that's up to you, isn't it?]

[After the first time, Shura will take care not to walk nearby. Especially not with Yukio in tow. She will make every excuse she can to avoid coming down with him, no matter how much it annoys him. Prophet or not, Shura doesn't trust Yukio around anyone who so casually acknowledges that he's going to shoot them. He... well, Shura was Concerned about him after what she saw in Aomori.

But as life has it, she has another date in the area a couple weeks later. It doesn't go well, and this time, Shura knows it isn't her damn fault. Creep going on about her age and her tits... She drinks mostly to tone his voice out and leaves without telling him. Too complicated. It'd probably be a black mark on her record, but whatever. If that matchmaking company let him loose on women, then she didn't want to deal with them again.

The walk back wouldn't be so back wouldn't be so bad, but it's raining. It's cold and dark and wet, and fine, Shura's a little miserable. So when she passes by those gates again--fine. Just until the storm passed.

She'll walk in without any courtesy, dripping on the floor and loudly announcing herself.
]

Oi, oiii, Prophet, get down here.

[Get down here and give her a towel!!]

[She's only here to vent out her frustration and seek shelter. She's forgotten the brooch she used to pin her scarf. It isn't something she thinks is valuable, a little trinket she picked up at some market somewhere or other, but it is cute.]

[Heh, how does it feel to be caught off guard like this, huh? Shura is taking too much petty enjoyment from seeing him in a bit of a fluster. She leers at him, looking absolutely unapologetic for her intrusion.]

Nyahaha, you gotta glass of water?

[ This is her wish, so get her something to drink! Or something, something to dry off before she makes a huge mess on the floor. If he wants to know what actually happened, he'll have to bring the good stuff out, even if she can't appreciate it as much with her current state.

Mm~? You look awfully uncool like that, haha!

[Oh yes, this is really quite fun. Maybe it'd make up for what happened before.

And of course, she'll follow, raising her arms up and clasping her hands behind her head. She leaves a damp trail, and she vaguely wonders who he's calling to. Familiars? Probably. She's not entirely convinced of just what he is yet, but it wouldn't be unusual for a demon or spirit to have lesser familiars

[w o w rude, but whatever. He gave her what she asked for, and so she can't complain too much when she accepts the glass and takes a drink. She won't even give the liquor a second glance. She's had plenty enough already, after all.]

Ufufu, you really can grant wishes, cantcha~?

[Was he warned previously about her obnoxiousness? Someone probably should have mentioned that.]

[Poor Watanuki. It's only going to get worse.]

Oh! [Shura is definitely not expecting a pair of cute and lively girls to pop out. Just what was this guy...]

Ahhh~, I didn't think you'd be a playboy! Lookit them, you should take a lesson on customer service from them!

[Not that Shura came here as a customer. If she was more honest, she could admit that she wanted a place out of the rain to lick her wounds, but that's a bit much for her to admit to anyone other than herself. But towels are nice, and she sort of grope her way down to grab one of the towels, sloshing the water in her glass enough to spill some of the contents to the floor.] Oops~~

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh ho, so he was that kind of guy indeed, giving gifts without warning of the price that might be attached. Well, it wasn't like Shura hadn't suspected that before. She takes the towell to her hair with her free hand, idly rubbing it at her wet hair.]

So mean! It ain't like they'd be lyin'!

[She's just going to test her boundaries a little more, not answering his demand. And even then, she's considering just how little she can get away with saying. Heh, maybe if she annoyed him enough he'd snap that mop of his in half?]

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[So he was admitting that he was a playboy? Goodness!]

You're the one who called 'em down~

[Which obviously justifies her encouraging their mischief. Of course it does. Shura's a giant been in the tush, and she's going to make sure he knows it so he can move on from whatever little plans he had for her. She drinks the water casually, continuing to not tell him anything at all about what brought her here.]

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Shura says nothing in reply to that. She just chokes on the long drink of water she was taking, having meant to down half of the glass like that. It means there's water going down the wrong pipe, and she sputters, too agitated to form a better response than that. Jerk.]
exaomori: (🐍 26)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Shura wipes her mouth with the towel, scowling at Watanuki as she hacks up the last drops of water. It'll take her a moment to form a reply, but she snaps it out.]

You're a swindler, ain'tcha? Pullin' somethin' like this...

[A supernatural con man. Well, that was most demons out there, so she shouldn't be surprised. She was just about convinced that he wasn't the average demon, but she can return to her original assumption.]
exaomori: (🐍 25)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[What was this? Was he trying to bamboozle her or something so she'd ask for something else while she wasn't thinking straight? Shura's eyes narrow, and she drops her hand down from her hair. He has her on the defensive, and that is completely unacceptable. First off, did he understand that most decent men were already taken??]

You're the one who's chargin' me for a glass of water without mentionin' a price, y'know. Most people would give it out of courtesy.

Least, most humans would.

[Sure, they'd grumble or complain, but it was better to hydrate a drunk and send them on their way than to risk them puking on their front door.]
exaomori: (🐍 21)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[he is the worst and she hates him]

Yeah, and I still don't believe it ♥. You're not a hundred percent human, if that really is the case~.

[It would make sense if there was some demonic heritage somewhere in his line. A magical girl isn't quite the same. Regardless of how or when that would have happened, Shura wants out. She hasn't finished her glass, but she'll set it down on the counter anyway, looking towards the door.]

Thank ya for your hospitality, but I've had enough.
exaomori: (🐍 22)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Excuse, Shura's perfectly ready for everything?? Just not for this cryptic guy's crap. No one was ready for that.]

What.

[She replies flatly, brow furrowing. Clearly, she doesn't want to hear him out.]
exaomori: (🐍 16)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-04-19 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Time is a precious thing to Shura. She had wasted so many years because she saw little point in making the most of such a short life. Building walls and sharpening her tongue to fend off any potential intruders, she did her best to keep people at a distance. It was just better that way. She hadn't been as successful as she might have hoped, but in the end, it was those bonds that gave her the will to save herself.

So it's a sensitive spot, one that she doesn't anticipate him finding, intentionally or not. It has her bristling, a little more sober than before, a cold shiver going down her spine.
]

Goin' on like an old man, what's up with that? What, you tellin' me I should just ask you for a decent guy or somethin'? You really are just a hustler.

[She won't be conned into doing something stupid like that.]

'Sides, I ain't got your twenty grams.

[She does, though, and it glitters at her throat.]
