Little bitsy bit of religious trauma but we stay silly baby!!

"Con?"

He parrots the word a little thoughtfully before turning his attention back out toward the view.

"I don't get what game you're playing at but I'm not buying it. You woke up in a strange place. Get used to strangeness."

There's a huff.

"Fushiguro."

[insatiableluminary]

Aw, guess she caught this guy in a bad mood. Even for her jokes it seemed they simply weren't hitting.

But that was fine, if they were going to be neighbors they had plenty of time to find a middle ground, at least in her eyes.

"Fushiguro, huh...pretty name." She still offers a little smile, "Yeah, guess I should get used to it-doesn't seem like there's a way off the isles from what I can tell."

A small pause.

"My name is Kristine, by the way. Nice to meet you."

[salvationseekcr]

Sam nodded his head. "I had to collect feathers over a few months before...and that was just when I repaired it..." He would wait for birds to drop feathers; and hope he'd get lucky when looking.

"Ah...okay..! I'm Sam.." He stood up from where he sat, still holding the other doll in his hands. It wasn't an angel doll, just the doll that the Stars had given him. He didn't have it in him to get rid of it. Even if he got his old one back.

"You'll really help me?"

[insatiableluminary]

"Of course, I've got no reason not to."

She looks back with a little smile towards the younger, trying to keep her fangs from showing so not to scare him off. Kristine had never been more aware of her small oddities and sharper features, and how they could come off as intimidating.

Normally she wasn't bothered by the idea, but this was an entirely new place with complete strangers.

Not only that, but this one, Sam...well, she felt bad for him.

"Plus I don't think it's fair that you got something so important to you taken away. That wasn't very nice...the best I can think to do is find a substitute until you recover the original."

[deadlysentenced]

The mention of a cat does get the shorter- god he was shorter in this conversation, wasn't he? He couldn't say that he was too used to that phenomenon-- but either way he does perk up a little.

"I'm glad your cat was safe and sound for you."

There is the momentary vision of the one that he had Shimizu take in for his last client....A pang of something that threatens his relaxed nature makes itself known, but he decides to withhold on acknowledging that for now. Instead taking another drag of his cigarette as he looks off to the middle ground that his conversation partner had chosen.

"I used to have a job as well but..I haven't gone into looking into one yet...In theory, this has been the longest vacation I've been on for a while."

It was true. He didn't get a lot of time to himself but the longer he stayed here and the longer he went without *something* to occupy his mind and his hands, the more he could feel that itch of nihilism scratch at his spine.

"If you end up finding anyone who needs a lawyer, let me know."

If she looked over she could see there was a small twinkle of amusement in those eyes. He was being funny.

[insatiableluminary]

His joke lands, earning a little snort of a laugh from the woman across from him, her mood brightens a little from it.

"Uh oh, here comes Better Call Saul-"

Kristine grins a little and hums, resigning herself to show off her little man since she went into such a tizzy looking for the little bastard. Said with all the affection in her heart.

"Actually, one sec, let me go get him."

She puts out that cigarette, retreating from the terrace and into the condo. There's a small sound of chittering to get the kittens attention before he's scooped up and brought outside to greet their shared neighbor.

"Behold, Cheddar Cheese in all his glory. The man who caused me a panic attack on my first day here."

[oldgodssong]

Andrale recognizes the compliment. Her eyes look down at the hand that flexes before the woman inquires about her vallaslin again.

"It did," Andrale says, "but the pain is part of the process. After all, our markings are our dedication to the god we've chosen to represent."

Andrale reaches up to touch her own cheek. "My vallaslin is for our God of crafting, June."

She looks at the other's hand. "I think if you had them done, they are important to you. Not all tattoos have to have deep, philosophical meanings. Did yours hurt?"

[insatiableluminary]

She nods with a little smile, "Yeah, my first couple of batches hurt cause my body just wasn't used to it. After that I started to get more smaller ones like the little stars."

Kristine gestures along her side at the trail of diamonds and specs that travel to her hip.

There's an obvious larger scale inking on her upper thigh, in the shape of a sun that more resembled medieval paintings, "This one probably hurt the most!" She laughs a bit.

"I think it was...five hours? Something like that."

[insatiableluminary]

[wolftccth]

"Not really, but I was hunted down by a human hunters; watch my mother get killed, my father get dragged away by his family as the humans tried to kidnapped my sister, but I murdered the humans, and lived my life being hunted by my family... so. I guess we're even on that." He pauses before speaking once more.

"We had a fucked up life, didn't we?"

[insatiableluminary]

"Yeah, after losing my brother I kind of went mute for a few years and started to develop vivid hallucinations of skinning the head of the church who sentenced him while I was cleaning animal hides from my hunts. Not the healthiest coping mechanism, but."

She nods along, crossing her arms, "That we did. I don't think either of us deserved that."

[deadlysentenced]

She helps him light the cigarette and it finds his lips proper after. His shoulders relax a little as he leans his side into the railing and both their smoke takes to the air.

He watches it for just a moment and waves a hand lightly at her explanation.

"No need to apologize."

Though he does at least offer her the smallest smile as he turns back from watching the impromptu distraction.

"This place can be rather disorienting. So, the fact you've been here a couple of days and are only now smoking...well, that's a feat in it's own right, probably."

Gods know he was wishing he had been smart enough to smoke before now.

[insatiableluminary]

Ah, this was...nice.

Probably the most relaxing interaction she's had so far, maybe due in part to learning that these people were real. Also here with her.

"Well, my first point of stress was locating my cat. Once I found out he was safe back here, I could adjust."

She tucks the lighter back into her pocket and relaxes against the railing in a mimicry of the other, gesturing with that hand holding her cigarette, "Right now I guess I gotta find some work, if I'm stuck until further notice, y'know?"

[insatiableluminary]

What the hell was that.

[loathsome-moon]

"I suppose."

"I was only looking because I'm not sure I'd ever see as many people this tall in my life time..." Good lord she was nearly on par with one of the hashira responsible for his demise, how could he not stare he'd never seen a woman this tall.

[insatiableluminary]

Well, at least he listened.

"I mean, you're only a couple of inches shorter than me, what's the problem?" Kristine huffs, her tail tucking slightly against the back of her leg, "Surely you get stares for the same reason."

[deadlysentenced]

Her face falls momentarily into some kind of surprise before it seems to right itself.

It gets him to raise a brow, curious to what of him might have startled her. Was she not used to men? Or..did he look sloppy?

He chances a glance down to his attire to make sure it didn't look terrible. It was just a comfortable sweater and some casual slacks. But then his neighbor offers him a cigarette and his head picks back up.

"Oh. Thanks."

Long fingers reach as he leans over the railing to pluck one out of the pack. He goes to bring it to his lips and pauses before looking to her properly again.

"Could I borrow a light from you as well?"

[insatiableluminary]

"Yeah, course."

She brings up her lighter for him, clicking it twice before the small flame is inched close enough to where her neighbor could properly burn the tip. That scent of nicotine swirls around them in the shared open air, humming.

"Sorry about the flinch, by the way. Thought I recognized you from somewhere, but it's fine."

Kristine exhales after turning her head away, "I'm kinda fresh off the ground here, so I've been muddling on what to do with all my sudden free time."

[hallowedpurple]

"Ah, yeah, I get that. Blessed with the height side of things."

He gestures at himself, one of the tallest people he knew, before she mentions that she's fresh to the island. Ah, the worst time really.

"Mmhm. We all start off there until a car picks you up - or you wander off to find your bearings on your own."

"Welcome aboard. It's not so bad once you get used to it." He offers his hand to her in greeting, smile bright.

"Call me Satoru if you want. I've been here for a little while, so I'm happy to help out if you need it."

[insatiableluminary]

"Already on first names? Damn, guess I got lucky."

Kristine's got a kinda lopsided smile, showing off those fangs just a bit as she takes the other's hand, "But of course I know who you are, kind of rare for anyone to not know who Satoru Gojo is."

"Oh thank god, I was getting tired of bumbling my way through the place the past day or so, I won't turn down the company!"

[insatiableluminary]

"What do you have all those eyes lookin' at me for? Close some of them."

@loathsome-moon

[nunwithcgun]

"Wait... Winters?? Are you from the Arctic or something?" Forget about that, she's dying here with the heat thats been blasting down from the sky. It wasn't this bad where she came from!

"Vending machine?? You're just full of surprises, aren't you?? Is it like a machine you vent your feelings to? Did they get rid of the Church and Priest for that or something??"

[insatiableluminary]

"Uhmm...I guess it was kinda close? We had a few months around this time where it wasn't constantly snowing and then it went right back to powdered ground!"

There's a small gesture for her to follow, Kristine curling a finger towards the other before going up to one of the mentioned machines outside of the corner stores.

"Oh I dunno if they even have a church around here yet? But no, these are just like big boxes that dispense food and drinks for a little money. Big thing about convenience and all. Any sort of preference, or just the water for now?"

[supernova-aniki]

Ah, it was a joke. He feels a little bad for getting it, but second-guessing himself. He would try again for the next one. If there was a next one.

"I am curious and would much rather hear about it from your perspective than from some movie. Yuuji will also get distracted halfway through and just start explaining the plot. I feel like you pay pretty close attention to details. You don't have to tell me everything now, just over the course of knowing each other. Have to give myself an excuse to make more friends anyway."

[insatiableluminary]

"Oh man, I have to tell you about my favorite then!"

Of course she's a little giddy, getting to talk about the history of her kind was always a sort of special interest, it was the whole reason Kristine studied so hard as a kid.

Something about proving that she wasn't something to be ashamed of.

"So the one I've always been fond of was the Irish werewolf, they weren't really considered 'monsters'! In most legends they protected children, the wounded, and those lost." She grins a little, "Some text even show that werewolves were recruited by kings during times of war."

[seaofclashingclouds]

Having to crane to watch and speak to this woman was putting a familiar pang of pain in his neck. It felt odd to be homesick for people and not so much a place. He frowned a little.

"I stay at--"

He checks the returned pamphlet.

"The... Golden Ward. I don't really know where that is."

[insatiableluminary]

"I mean we can find it together, yeah?"

Maybe it was the big sister coming out in her, but she offers her hand to the younger all the same, trying to give him some grounding. They were both kinda lost in this new scary place, it was the least she could do.

"Now let's see." Kristine pulls out her phone and searches for transport for the both of them, finding the route to the train that circles the different wards and starting to walk, "This should work, if we catch the train we can get you over to Golden and myself to Archimedes, easy peasy."

[oovertime]

"Don't worry about it."

He meant it, genuinely. He allowed her to take a photo of his phone, and he tucked it back into his pocket.

"Kento Nanami. I'm from the Fibonacci Ward. What is your name?"

[insatiableluminary]

Hah. This dude was funny.

But, his expression didn't show a hint of him lying. Oh fuck was he not lying...?

"Oh, of course-Kristine Julius. A pleasure to meet you, uh, should I call you by Nanami for the time being? I know we're not close yet and I don't wanna make you uncomfortable."
