first meeting sentence starters.
send one to have our muses meet for the first time.
“Sorry, were you just talking to me?”
“I think you dropped this.”
“You look lost. Need some help?”
“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”
“You’re sitting in my spot.”
“Whoa! Careful!”
“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”
“Is that seat taken?”
“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”
“You’re blocking the doorway.”
“Were you just staring at me?”
“Excuse me, do you know the time?”
“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”
“I’ve been sent to find you.”
“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”
“Do you work here?”
“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”
“You’ve got something on your face.”
“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”
“Do you know the way to ___?”
“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”
“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”
“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”
“You look like you could use a friend.”
“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”
“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”
“I think we’re stuck in here together.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear, but…”
“Are you the new neighbor?”
“First time in town?”
“I’m not sure if this belongs to you, but…”
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”
“Do you mind if I join you?”
“I think you’re in the wrong place.”
“You seem… out of place.”
“Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you following me?”
“That was a close call.”
“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”
“Mind if I walk with you?”
“You look like you’re in trouble.”
“Was that your doing back there?”
“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”
“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”
“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”
“Do I want to know what just happened?”
“You might want to keep your voice down.”
“Is it always this strange around here?”
“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”
“Looks like we’re in this together now.”

admit it. you're in love with me.
if only i had someone to go out with...
a date would be really nice right about now.
i might reconsider if you bring me flowers.
were you being serious back there?
did you just try to impress me?
was that another joke, or were you telling the truth?
we agreed that if no one asked us, we'd go together.
keep telling yourself that!
here it comes! the big love confession i've been waiting for!
you've been in love with me since the day we met.
you visited me in my dreams last night.
i know you're in love with me. you just won't say it outloud.
we can't hide this forever.
don't make me beg.
if you weren't so cute, you'd be annoying.
you're not very good at hiding how you feel.
you've been staring at me for a long time now.
is that what you really think of me?
you have feelings for me. admit it.
so what if i've been lying this whole time? for good reason!
you don't make this whole love thing any easier.
you make life difficult.
you're a piece of work.
is that how you really feel?
you're lucky you're so cute.
you're not really going out with them, are you?
i thought we... nevermind.
consider me impressed.
am i annoying you right now?
you didn't like that comment, huh.
i was only kidding!
you wish we were kissing right now.
oh, you'd just love to hear me beg.
i love our little back and forth.
sooner or later we'll have to come clean about how we feel.
i'm not good at hiding my emotions.
when were you going to tell me you were in love with me?
i actually hate your guts.
keep talking like that and you'll see how i really feel.
can your head get any bigger?
was that a joke?
were you just playing with me?
you didn't actually mean that, right?
hang on. you didn't just say that.
that was a joke, right?
this is just how we are when we're together.
i tease you, you tease me.
you and i have always been like this.
if i'm not annoying you, what's the point?
i'm allergic to tickling.
they said we'd make a cute couple. can you believe that?
are you always this annoying?
if i kiss you, will you turn into a prince? yes, i'm implying you're a frog.
you're lucky i love you so much.
you take that back!
that was uncalled for!
this means war!
this calls for a duel!
i'm challenging you to an arm wrestle.
last one there is a rotten egg!
i'm not racing you!
stop looking at me like that.
you stare at me a lot.
i know, i know. i'm irresistable.
something on my face?
a little bird told me you're in love with me.
prove me wrong.

"I was unaware that I had company tonight, how delightful!"
Not that he found himself complaining, a pair of eyes and swords would make this assignment quicker, and perhaps return with spare time for tea!
"Though, I do not believe we have met before, have we? I am Akara."
The greeting seems effusive, but she accepts it with a proper (if slightly hasty) bow. She’ll see if she’s being condescended to in time.
“I don’t believe we have, Akara-san. I’m Kozaiku Itone.”
“It’s a pleasure.”

Takabatake Kashou
itone def has adhd and she (unknowingly i think) self-medicates with caffeine. her beverage of choice is coffee but idt youre gonna find a cafe outside of a city. matcha takes some of the edge off tho, so she splurges as often as financially feasible—imported black tea or sencha will also do in a pinch, and if things are truly dire she just boils the shit out of some bancha.
Inosuke freezes mid-step. One leg suspended in the air, he doesn't move or say anything for a good, solid ten seconds. Then his hand twitches and the flood gates open wide.
"What do you mean 'what you heard'?!" Inosuke starts to stomp his feet against the ground. And there is not one shred of volume control on his shouting. "Is somebody talking bad about me?!"
He steps forward to get right up in his mission partner's face. "Tell me who it is; I'm gonna kill them!!" He is exaggerating... probably. At worst, he'll find some far more petty way of getting revenge.
It’s a battle not to step back, not to make a face at the unpleasant sight (and smell) being shoved in her face. Itone is already starting to regret this, but she is nothing if not committed to the bit.
“Gosh, no, nothing bad! We just worry about you kids being all on your own.” She assumes there’s a kid under that mask, from the sound of his voice—she really hopes that goofy voice isn’t coming from a grown man.
“Lots of folks say so.”
@chordstroke
Gets a starter!
Inosuke being sent on missions with strangers tends to start off poorly. Inosuke is not an immediately amicable individual, so only those who already know him are aware that when he picks fights, it isn't actually out of malice. It's just how he is.
He is particularly irritable this morning, too. The target of the mission had been described as a 'low-level' demon, so still being sent out with a partner was something like a kick to his pride. Surely, he'd be more than enough to take down some stupid, weak foe.
He'd been grumbling to himself about that fact at the start of their trip, but eventually stomps a foot to blurt out, "For the record, I don't need any help!"
The mission, indeed, is not off to an ideal start. Itone is used to a little pushback the first time she’s paired up with someone, couched in worry for her safety, but she’s not sure what the hell this guy’s problem is—besides whatever compels him to wear a piece of taxidermy as a hat. Perhaps it’s the disarming effect of such strangeness, but instead of anger or resentment, all she feels is irritation… and the urge to be a little mean.
“Oh?” Something like interest flickers on her face at her partner’s outburst; when Itone faces him, it’s replaced by a perfectly agreeable smile.
“That’s not what I heard,” she sings.

❛ are you sure you'll be okay? ❜
They happened to arrive at the Butterfly Manor at the same time; Itone with an injury, and Shinobu on some business that would keep her for a few days. Shinobu stitched the wound herself, but as it was a simple gash along the thigh, she left Itone in the care of the Manor’s fulltime residents.
All Itone really needed was a little rest to allow the flesh to knit itself back together; the chance to let the minor bumps and bruises heal before her next mission was another benefit. She’d kept herself occupied with her shamisen, but even that sedentary activity was hampered by the stitches in her leg.
And now, a week later, this patient is eager to be back on her feet—they’re swinging as she sits at the edge of her bed. She’s just waiting for a bill of good health from Shinobu.
“Yep! I feel good as new.” Itone stands to demonstrate, shifting her weight on and off the injured leg.
“But…” she drawls, “if it would put you at ease, I suppose we could go for a short walk—maybe to that town nearby, with the yakitori stand? Y’know, to make sure my legs won’t give out.” That’s where she’s headed, regardless of Shinobu’s answer.
