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.

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.

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

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.

[frostheartedrose]

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

[Text]

[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.

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.

She's not sexy but she IS cute. In a little sister kind of way.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Not always. The strangers that aren't nice I stay hidden from." She smiled, letting go of his hand to tip up her hat a bit. The glow from her eyes was less harsh now that they weren't in shadow. "That's a neat trick. Talking without moving your mouth. A nice lady from where I come from can do it too. She always comes to the village and uses her magic to entertain the humans. She's really a wonderful person."

She certainly didn't seem like a person who would normally steal things either... In fact she seemed almost completely devoid of a presence or mind. "You're different though. You have many many different colors and they burst and crackle and are quite lovely. I like it a lot mister." She was leaning quite a bit into his space now, that sphere weaving gently from side to side.

He is many things... PEDOBEAR is not one of them XD

[immortaltrickster]

"As you should", he said cocking his head to the side. Which is why he's wondering why she was there in the first place.

"And you talk a lot too.", he said raising a brow. He started eating his cake, before she decided to take a huge bite out of it. Hungry little girl.

When she leaned close, he leaned away. Personal space was an issue. "You're very different yourself. Unique", he chuckled.

I didn't think so. Koishi is an adult. Her species is tiny though.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Yeah! I'm a satori youkai! But I can't read minds anymore so don't worry. But it made it so I can't be read either. It's really strange! I can read the unconscious mind now, though." She straightened up reaching up and taking her third eye in her hands. "And I talk a lot because if I don't people often forget I'm there. Even in the middle of a conversation I just 'poof' and they forget. It's also hard for me to remain visible when I'm hungry because my focus goes slantways. And I haven't eaten in three days because I dropped my head again and had to chase it!"

She walked around to his other side, looking him up and down. "You have so much light in you. It's really surprising. It's ripples. And your head is full of facets. It's really unique. I've never seen anything quite like it. It's very very pretty Miser."

[caelum_melody]

Too swell if you ask me..

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

action;

[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?

[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]

[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]

[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?

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.]

He'll never bang a sibling is what I meant. But yes.. she's tiny too XD

[immortaltrickster]

"What is this satori what-what, you're talking about?", he asked feigning innocence. There were always ways and means for someone like him to know about information he needed. The only limitation however is if the information is well-hidden from him - like when Azazel covered his tracks in 1970s. Forget the other relevant pieces of information which Gabriel took note of, he just had to ask: "You dropped your head?"

And with the mention of his light nature, Koishi will find both of them standing in the middle of the beach in Fayren. Not just the beach itself, but they were standing over the water. They were far from anywhere where any superhuman senses can still hear their conversation. "I suggest you don't talk too much sweet pea", he said rather endearingly. However, his eyes were obviously serious. For the people in the cafe, they will notice that a replica of Koishi and Gabriel were still there, chatting, as if they were real.

[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.]

action;

[behindthefakesmile]

[He was please that people were enjoying them and he knew he as at least doing something right.]

Okay, Loki. if there is anything else you'd like I'd be more than happy to serve it to you, or you can let your lady friends do it.

[He feels like he is forgetting something...]

Ah, where are my manners. I'm Fai, the owner of this cafe.

action;

[immortaltrickster]

Might I suggest candy, cupcakes, chocolate truffles, the works! [There was something appealing about not having to animate your own sweets.] I'll even give you all the recipes you need. Of course, I'm sure a master like you already knows them all.

[There was a grand smile on Gabriel's face. This place was starting to be more and more perfect as the minute passes. And as far as he can tell, he can't feel those pesky Winchester boys anywhere.

Gabriel nods. Of course he had known this was Fai, and this was his cafe. But there was no way he was letting that on, ever.]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[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 (?)]

They'll get along fine... And by fine I mean Koishi will be a giant pest.

[koishi_komeiji]

Fortunately he would not have to go far to get information. "A satori youkai is what I am. We can read the conscious mind and have hypnotic abilities. I ripped my power out because I didn't want to be hated. Now I can read and control the subconscious instead of the conscious. Most of us live under mountains, but sis and I currently live in The Palace of the Earth Spirits in old hell. It's a nice pla-"

She was thrown off as they appeared over the sea, catching herself with her powers of flight. She blinked, turning, looking all around. She was in awe. She had never seen a body of water larger than a lake.

Fortunately she was looking in his general direction when he addressed her again. She focused on him, tilting her head slightly. "Talk too much? I have to talk a lot." She frowned. "I vanish if I don't talk a lot. People forget me. I have to make an impression! Otherwise my powers will make me not exist anymore so I like to tell people about their colors. Everyone has such beautiful and bright emotions in the framework of their mind. They all move differently. Most people like it when I tell them. It's something to talk about. Do you not like your colors Mister?" She tilted her head

She didn't address the "dropped her head" comment. Perhaps she just naturally spoke in riddles.

[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?
