Tavian Tango

[Tavian was listening with reserved enthusiasm at first but tail SPRUNG up and she didn’t resist a little excited flap of her hands at the end and a bi nice on her toes.]

I was gonna ask if you could do Mac and cheese pizza but I thought you’d roll your eyes at me!!

Mac and cheese pizza please!

[finger up, considering.]

…yes to the Franks! Gotta go full out.

Yeah, well, when I opened the place I knew I was going to get freaks no matter what. Freaks still got money though, generally speaking. May as well be good at making freaky pizzas.

You want regular orange cheesy or still white cheesy?

I just like to get a little goofy with it. And red sauce makes my throat hurt.

Orange or white are both fine, as long as it’s cheesy.

[traces of disappointment vanished pretty quick as she watched, instantly thrilled at the prospect of getting to see the thing made.]

To be fair, flips were pretty cool.

"My father would definitely throw a knife at a pickpocket. He might not be the most...moral person, but he doesn't like stealing money. Unless it's off a dead person anyway."

“He looked like a professor, I bet he has plenty of cash laying around. But it’s fine, I haven’t seen him since then. I don’t know if I could even pick him out of a lineup.”

That said, Tavian still took a moment to look theatrically bashful, with an eyelash flutter and everything. “Sweet of you to offer though~ can’t say I wouldn’t love to see you beat somebody’s ass on my behalf. I’ll keep you in mind for next time.”

Unclear.

Behind the knee really, and Tavian twisted and pulled up a pant leg to point at it. Look at my cool scar!! That knife went right through all the important shit!

"I used to sell weapons and murked people for money." She said with a stoic look on her face. "Now I sort of have a no kill policy for myself, and am a lot calmer than I used to be. So, ya know, tomato, potatoes, or however people say it."

Right on the money! She hit it right on the head. Way to introduce yourself. No BS right off the bat. As always, Maya was batting for zero.

Not to make light of it, except that’s precisely what Tavian is doing but well- only to make her feel less like she did a blunder.

“So what do you do now, beat people just short of death? Batman sorta thing? Orrrr did you dive deep into a cool new hobby that lets you express yourself through physicality without doing harm to yourself or others…?”

"I do a lot of heavy lifting and reading in my spare time between going to work. I spent a long time in another dimension, did my best to help them in any way I could, but it was stressful. Learned to read a fuck ton of books to pass the time."

She chuckled at the Batman thing. "Honestly, yeah, sort of. Been doing a whole vigilante thing for nothing. Batman smash their face into a coma. Hard to really define, I've always been that way, but now it's for more... altruistic reasons."

“Ooh. I wish I could get back into reading, but…the moment I really get into a book it gets me all antsy anyways. I wanna be doin cool stuff, not just reading about it.”

Big adhd hours.

“This? I nicked a guy’s wallet and he THREW a knife at me. Threw it!! I was sure he was gonna slice me up and eat me or something, but he left me alone when I gave the wallet back. I can’t really blame him I guess, but that shit isn’t normal. Who just has a throwing knife on hand and that kind of aim?? I bet he’s in the mob or something.”

snuffed and shrugged, bending the knee a few times until they could feel the slightest old twinge from it. “But jokes on him, I’m still a great dancer and I make at least twice the cash in his wallet every day now! And I can do a flip!”

Unclear.

I crave ADVENTURE. [but to not be TOO difficult, elaborated] Do you do any kind of white sauce pizzas? Or anything weird like Barbecue pizza?

I got alfredo-ish sauce. Milk instead of cream. Barbecue sauce, too.

I have been messin’ around with a shrimp pizza. And other sea foods.

I have barbecue chicken, but I was tryin’ out pizzas with like…shredded rib meat and brisket and things.

Mac and cheese pizza. With or without sliced up caramelized franks.

Maybe nice to hug? Her expression evened out and she opened her arms?]

[Steps towards Charlie and takes a biiiiig dramatic sniff (followed by quieter actually productive sniffing). Aha! She knows those smells.]

Ohoho, don’t I?

Are you married to the rat man and the ghost? AKA an ugly old man and a….uh…..

[Can’t think of good ways to insult Devang, she’s just too cool….Tavian doesn’t even dislike either person he’s talking about but SHE’S GOTTA TRY. For science.]

Weird….ghost…lady? 

[ …Good effort?? ] 

He is a bit of a rat man and she is indeed some type of ethereal ghost.

I’m not really sure if that’s supposed to be much of an insult though.

[HUFFED, ears flat and tail lashing. That’s RUDE OF YOU and now Tavian is irritated and you’re just chilling! It’s not fair!]
