Dropped for you!

It’s almost dusk; Kay’s favorite time to explore Spirale. When it gets dark, she doesn’t have to worry about the sun, and there’s almost never any humans when she goes out.

She likes looking in the shop windows when no one is around. There’s usually no one to chase her away at this hour; people tend to dislike non-humans loitering around their stores.

Her ears flatten as she notices a stranger nearby; a human. Running would look suspicious, so she stands her ground... for now.

“.. TV stations here are kind of lacking, aren’t they? Besides the news there’s not a lot else that’s on? Where’s all the anime? How am I supposed to watch p*rn on here, dammit?”

DON’T JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD!

Sunday is the one day she keeps the bakery closed, explicitly to spend time with friends. However, the door to the shop remains open, so the children that frequented it could come and go as they pleased, using the seating both in and outside. 

This is the day she spends restocking her shelves, trying new recipes and making time for things in life other than her darling bakery. 

Like friends. 

It’s when the chime on the back door of the bakery rings that she hurried wipes flour on her apron and turns her attention, a massive smile on her face. Hajime, in her mind, is her best friend, and her business partner. Though she’s unsure if he feels the same, she’s always happy to see him all the same.

“Hajime!” His name is punctuated with a small clap, flour going everywhere. 

Too bad he probably wouldn’t get to kill anyone with one of those ‘guns’. Not that he needed a weapon, but it was more efficient that way.

As Matthias hand had once noted, way back on Sanction IV, Kovacs had a pathological rejection of groupings. And as Kovacs had retorted, there was no verging about it. On the other hand, much as he hated having to play nice with others outside the Corps (the thought of Sylvie’s Slipins came to mind, unbidden), he was even more adverse to dying. Which meant he was going to need to make a couple of new friends.

As it happened, though, he ran into someone else first. Not a friend, not exactly - who was? - but at least a familiar face, that he could tolerate.

“Yi Hansol. Fancy meeting you here. What do you make of all this?”

“What necessity is there to dwell on the Past, when the Present is so much surer–the Future so much brighter?” Anne quoted flawlessly, turning to the stranger beside her. She had just been reading Jane Eyre before arriving to this island, so this quote in particular was fresh in her mind.

oof, due to the structure/nature of this event, i’m may have to delay posting all owed starters and threads for a bit!! i’ll post them later, but event threads will take priority once i get things settled!
