1st Message ✞ Video/Action [Cat's Eye Cafe]

[immortaltrickster]

[It doesn't take a genius to figure out he wasn't in his own world. Takes less of a smart-ass to realize how everything including the device, he woke up with, worked. Something was very wrong if he felt like he was in a different dimension and it wasn't his doing. Seriously, that was the last time he was ever helping those asshats.]

[The feed opens with a perfect view of a handsome man, who looked like he was in his 30s or 40s. The view was too perfect. It was almost as if it was not an accidental video at all. Almost as if he meant for people to see him.]

[He was drinking coffee when a sexy blonde woman came into view and handed him a slice of chocolate cake. Then she sat beside him. First, he looked shocked, but then it was replaced by a pleased expression. He smiled at the woman.]

Thank you, sugar.

[Then another woman came into view, wearing revealing clothes. She flung one arm around his shoulder, and handed him a plate of chocolate tart. Again, he smiled and thanked the girl.]

[Then a petite girl wearing a cheerleader uniform, complete with pigtails sat on his lap and offered a tall glass of parfait. The man just chuckled as all three girls tried to kiss parts of his face]

[Gabriel then fixed his eyes on the feed. Looking momentarily shocked before he gave everyone a winning smile. He had to make it seem real of course. He had to make people believe it was an accidental video.]

Ooooh boy. I didn't know this city was so kind to newcomers.

[He winked.] You're all swell people.

Please don't expect an award for that performance.

[immortaltrickster]

I don't know what you're talking about. =w=

Re: [Text]

[frostheartedrose]

Of course not. Please make sure to actually pay your full tab. The fondant is excellent.

[immortaltrickster]

It's not my fault if the ladies decided to give me free food. I did pay for the coffee though.

Fondant, eh? Sounds good.

You should keep a better eye on your snacks~

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi was hungry... She hadn't eaten all day or the day before or even the day before that. Yes she was a youkai, and taking her absurdly potent abilities into account it would be a simple matter to catch a rabbit or other small animal and just eat it... but she didn't want to. Call her spoiled or picky, but she wasn't the biggest fan of raw meat. She had been eating human prepared food for too long.

She couldn't even focus enough to lift her own obfuscating cloak to be seen so she could buy food...

Just as she was about to cave and catch something, or even make the long trek home, a strange sensation piqued her interest. Turning her attention to a nearby table her eyes fell upon a man with a strange mind. Strange colors and patterns and such powerful positive emotions. It was enough to distract her from her hunger and make her cautiously approach... And just as quickly her attention changed to the food in front of him.

Sis had told her before it was not nice to take food from other people, but he was really really hungry. Just enough to hold her over and let her get home. Besides, he seemed more interested in the girls than the food.

With little regard as to who she was theiving from, the little youkai picked up the tart and began eating it, her little happy sounds no doubt making her cloak waver. As she ate her obfuscating cloak would dissolve more and more, allowing him to maybe notice her, though his 'distractions' wouldn't do him any favors. Hopefully He would spot her before she ate the rest of his food.

Wrong person Koshi...

[immortaltrickster]

If Gabriel were to be asked, he'd classify that as Sloth. She should have worked hard just like humanity to get food on her plate.

Gabriel was a simple guy. Allow him to punish the wicked, avoid the Apocalypse, escape his brothers and eat sweets in peace and he was happy.

The people said the Cat's eye had the best chocolate tart. That's what he came here to taste. He wasn't pleased when he saw the petite girl nomming on his sweets. That was his. He could conjure more to eat, but he wanted that tart. Koishi might suddenly find herself flung to the roof and stuck there.

"It's not very polite to take someone's food, ya know?", he chuckled.

That's exactly why I did it xD

[koishi_komeiji]

It was strange. The girl's body seemed almost non existent. Like he was having a hard time focusing on her. And if he was having a hard time there would be no way for most humans to see her. She looked up at him, crumbs still on her face, tilting her head a little. Other than the petty theft she seemed quite innocent.

"You can see me?" She sounded genuinely surprised. She stood there for several more moments before leaping forward, pouncing and giving him a surprisingly strong hug. "You can see me! I can't believe it! You must be very special Mister! Focus... Focus focus focus! It's all gone right now. Upways and sideways and slantways and all the ways. So no one can see me. And I was so hungry. I'm really sorry, okay?"

She dropped back down, letting him go and hopping a little in place excitedly. The strange arteries that curled and hovered around her body had twisted themselves into a heart over her left shoulder, the strange blue sphere they were attached to floating near him. It almost looked like an eye.

"I'm Koishi Komeiji!" She reached forward and grasped his hand, shaking it. She was a bit more solid and defined now. "It's nice to meet you!"

*slaps you* HE DOESN'T DO HUGS...well...maybe if you were pretty sexy

[immortaltrickster]

A hug? He tosses her in the air and she decided to hug him? This girl was strange. And she tried to shake his hand too. Gabriel could easily switch with another body, but he found nothing threatening with this girl.

"Are you always this attached to strangers?", he asked her. Yet, he'd notice he didn't move his mouth at all. Yes, he knew a few...well, a lot of good tricks.

[video]

[caelum_melody]

Too swell if you ask me..

[She is giving her own feed a look of annoyed disgust]

[video]

[immortaltrickster]

[Now, if only the archangel cared.]

Delicious.

Have you tried any of these? They're too die for. Not literally, but you know what I mean.

[video]

[caelum_melody]

No, and I'm pretty sure I wont be trying them either...

[Haruka's brow twitched]

How is it you have the money to pay for all of this?

[video]

[immortaltrickster]

More for me then.

[He was actually content about this. He took a huge bite off the chocolate tart. It was heavenly.]

Well, I just arrived. They gave us lots of money when we arrived, didn't they.

[Not that he'd have problems getting more money.]

[behindthefakesmile]

[Fai couldn't help but be somewhat amused, while at the same time actually wondering just where the girls came from. He knew they didn't work here and he had never seen them before. But never the less this was certainly something.]

Having fun are we?

action;

[immortaltrickster]

[After this day, Fai will never see them, anywhere. Unless of course Gabriel has a need to materialize these humans.]

Having a delicious time. [He chuckled. It was funny, at least for Gabriel. He just looks at the blonde while he took a bite of his tart.]

You must be the person I should be thanking for these heavenly treats. [Not that Heaven would know of such heavenly treats.]

action;

[behindthefakesmile]

[He smiles his usually plastered on smile to make it seem like he was always so perfectly happy and fine when he wasn't.]

That would be me, I'm glad that you are enjoying them. I always found they taste better when freshly made after all.

[He pauses for a moment. He had never seen him before now that he thought about it.]

I also must assume you are new around here correct?

action;

[immortaltrickster]

[He knows that smile all too well. Gabriel knew about the different coping mechanisms of humans, and truthfully, he had the same way of coping through problems. Smile, even when inside, he was so broken.

He takes another bite, and shows Fai, how his treats made Gabriel genuinely happy. They were just so good.] And they do! They really do.

Yup! I'm a chocolate-loving newbie. People usually call me, Loki. [He wasn't sure if giving his heavenly name would be advisable at all. Not in a plane which he knew so little about.]

[video]

[the_roseblack]

You are planning to share, aren't you?

[She doesn't specify exactly what she expects him to share, but there are only a few possibilites.

The boredom and lack of responsibility might be starting to mess with Ejava's head. She's used to being in command, almost always having something more important to do than indulging in the hedonistic pastimes common among the Scarlet Dynasty.

She's going to have to hurry up and get herself back into a position of authority. Before she goes mad from aimlessness.]

Or at least give me directions.

[video]

[immortaltrickster]

[Gabriel takes time to pretend he's thinking. Then shrugs it off.] Nope.

If people want some, they can go get some.

[Gabriel will just pretend she means the chocolates. But then again, there was no way in hell he's going out of his way to share anything he has. Unless it's to play with people.]

Directions? What are you talking about?

[video]

[the_roseblack]

[She is talking about the chocolates... just not exclusively. Neither Gabe nor the girls seem quite like her type, exactly, but Dynasts aren't known for being overly picky.]

Directions. To that cafe from, say, the city center.

Or I could find someone less dense to occupy my time. [A little jab to spur him to action. She channels a sliver of Essence into the words, invoking Unbearable Taunt Technique to help ensure the desired effect. Still not an absolute guarantee, but it'll make the insult, minor as it is, unnaturally difficult to brush off.]

[OOC: All the Roseblack's unnatural mental influence Charms are 100% resistable, so Gabriel can just succeed on his defense if you don't want it working on him (or be immune if he would be). Hope I'm not being rude by having her attempt it without checking with you first (?)]

[Video]

[notsoholyspirit]

Hey! Where are you and what's the secret?

[Because Spirit, for one thing, would love to always be that successful with the ladies. He is always a fan of having the company of a beautiful woman, anyway.

He then realizes that this would not count as a proper introduction, and the guy did say he was new, didn't he?]

Ah...sorry about that. The name's Spirit Albarn. Welcome to Genessia, I guess. Not that many people are too thrilled to be here.

[Video]

[immortaltrickster]

Secret to what? [He asks a bit enthusiastically. He had a smile on his face and he emanates the same excitement as Spirit about this.] Cat's Eye Cafe.

[If it's about women he's asking about, then oh boy would it be easy to get this guy off his case at some point in time.]

I know. [He said with a puzzled look.] And I wonder why. People are very nice here in this city. [No Lucifer and Michael too. At least, not that he knows.] And the name's Loki.

[Video]

[notsoholyspirit]

Not everyone is that nice, I'll leave it at that for now.

[He waves a hand dismissively, but before doing so one finger briefly touches his clavicle. He'd gotten attacked once already, completely unprovoked. So Spirit would likely say that persons here were not that friendly.]

Nice to meet you, Loki. Did your parents name you after that tricky guy in the myth?

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

Uh huh... Wow. You're not exactly subtle, are you?

[Says the hypocrite right here.]

[Video]

[immortaltrickster]

About how I enjoy sweets? Nope!

[The cheerleader raises a glass of milkshake close to Gabriel. She just smiles for him as he gets a taste of pure chocolate bliss.

Though he clearly know why this guy was pissed.]

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

[Jeeze. Zelos could have gotten this treatment back home easily, but he was quite sure he'd not seen this guy around before now. Yet, he was already getting all the attention and showing it off to all of Genessia? Talk about obnoxious.]

You know, those hunnies of yours might lose interest if you put on too much weight. I'd be careful if I were you.
