THE MASTER OF THE SNAKE SCHOOL, AND THE FORMER MASTER'S GREATEST SHOWPONY.
rules || info || written by lane, 18+
. . . . . . continuing an honor that never existed.
"Pay?"
The older woman lifts her chin in retaliation, parroting the younger girl.
HOW AUDACIOUS OF HER.
Maiz scoffed as an exhale of air allowed for a self-satisfied grin to show. If it wasn't for the fact this little girl was a human, Maiz could've developed a sliver of respect for her.
Or at least the way she carried herself.
From behind her, a furry, brown appendage swayed slowly side to side. This tail avoided the presence of humans who walked by her as if it had a mind of it's own. On top of this, most civilians on the sidewalk either walked around Maiz and the spilled produce, or gave her tail a side-glance and walked slower--as if to double-check what they saw.
She paid no attention to them. Instead, she kept her eyes solely on the blonde human in front of her and issued a challenge.
"--What shall happen if I refuse you?"
“Gh--”
She has nothing.
What can she do in a situation like this? For some reason, putting up a fight feels out of the question. That's never worked out in the past. Still, it's not like she can take this sort of treatment lying down! Doing so would be a betrayal on her title!
“I'll... I'll...”
Some sort of threat stands at the precipice of her tongue, but she takes her sweet time in finding the words. Could this even be constituted as a threat? Resorting to a method like this feels like cheating... but, it seems that it must be done.
“.... I'll scream! And I'll cry! And I'll tell everyone that I'm being bullied by this strange woman! That will cause all kinds of problems for you, no?”
@the-demonpr0digyy
What in the...?
--- She doesn't have much time to respond when a strange being suddenly shows up at her doorstep. Not that he walked over and knocked at a strange time of day. Rather, he appeared at her door. He wasn't there a second ago, and then he was there. Present. Tangible.
Tangible enough to face the brushed end of her broom as she smacks him senseless with it.
" A GHOST! I've found a terrifying spirit on my property! Begone! Go back from where you came!"
@clairvoyantcubes
For as loud as the contempt for the Snake School of Martial Arts was, the dojo itself was peacefully quiet. Certain begrudging thoughts, such as "a waste of money" and "what a lousy trick" were commonly put in association with the school. Yet the building was humble and somewhat lacking in upkeep, lacking any amount of showmanship.
A young girl stands at the stairs of the dojo, sweeping away leaves and dust diligently. It takes her a moment to notice him, and when she does, she's startled. Having never met someone with his appearance, she takes a step backwards-- up the stairs.
Still, she treats him as she would any potential visitor.
"You don't... look like a martial artist. Not at all!" She rests the broom against the railing. No, the people who come to the Snake School tend to be a bit younger and more lively. "What brings you here, young man? Are you looking for a lesson after all?"
"Honestly, you won't until that moment comes. Besides."
Reaching out, he gave the top of her head a couple of pats before settling his hand on her shoulder with a reassuring squeeze. "Even if you do fail, I'll be there to pick you back up. Maybe you could meet my friends too and they'll help out as well."
"Huh?"
She stiffens when she feels his hand on her shoulder. The contact is unfamiliar, but not entirely unwelcome.
"Why on Earth would you... Ah, it's because you've devoted yourself to taking care of people with no reward for yourself." It's a concept she's still trying to understand. But if that way of living he has makes her feel this warmth, it can't be bad. "Well... If something happens to you, I'll be looking out in kind!"
"Heh, I think I may just replace the fridge with something bigger. Nothing too fancy, just with more storage. If you'd rather, I can leave the TV and radio alone."
Reaching out, he ruffled her hair affectionately before putting his phone away with a smile, actually rather relieved that she did agree to let him update her home.
"I'll probably get you a simple washing machine and dryer, too. And a stove if you don't have one. What all do you cook? I could teach you some new recipes while I'm at it."
She lightly swats his hand away. Even though it's been happening more and more, she still can't get used to that gesture. It's been so long since she had someone to pat her head.
"This is all.... very much change for just one person! You'll have to take responsibility and teach me how to use those machines." In other words, he'll have to come over and help her out eventually. It's been a long time since she's shared that space with another person, too. "I cook for myself every day and night! It would be easier to ask me what it is that I can't cook! Just so you know, my favorite food is okonomiyaki! And I despise tomatoes!"
What is she looking at!!!!!!!!!!

thematic headcanons.
😶 - a headcanon about a secret they know of / keep
A lot of the "secrets" Yaki knows of are more just Facts She Knows but hasn't made the connection that those are bad things people want to keep hidden. Like she watched Tako pocket money he got for the dojo for years and didn't say anything because she thought it was normal. Otherwise, she does manage the dojo herself and a small handful of people do go there, so I imagine she hears a bit about people's individual stories. If you tell Yaki to not share something, she won't share it, either.
🎡 - a hobby-themed headcanon
Her favorite hobby is going out to the lake near the dojo and feeding the ducks. Generally, her hobbies are things old people usually enjoy. If you introduced her to bingo she'd lose her mind.
👻 - a headcanon about supernatural occurrences
Yaki is scared of the dark. Things that are not of the mortal realm lurk in the dark, obviously. She keeps a light on when she goes to bed... just in case.

thematic headcanons.
👪 - family-themed headcanon
As far as she knows, Yaki's one and only family has been with her late master: Tako. He wasn't just a mentor to her, he was also a (grand)father figure that she loved dearly. The fact that she holds him in such high regard just made her fall farther into his web of lies as she grew up.
A question I've been asking myself is "did Tako love her?" and I think the answer is... yes, but more implicitly. He said that he hoped she would be sensible enough to sell the dojo when he passed and move on to do something else with her life, so he knows that she isn't a liar and he did care for her. After all, he did raise her himself. That's not something someone just does for financial gain. However, that doesn't change the fact that he took her passion for martial arts and squandered her potential for the sake of maintaining a lie. As much as he may have loved her or cared about her that damage won't change.
I have a lot of thoughts on this but I'll end here . yeag. normal

“ how many mugs of coffee have you had today?! that’s enough, now, you go take a nap before you buzz through the ceiling! “
“ i’ll send you the recipe, if you like! but, in the same breath, you should know that i really don’t mind continuing to cook this for you; it’s no trouble at all, really! “
“ are you sure there isn’t anything i can do to help you in the kitchen? “
“ come on in! take a seat! i’ll fix you up a plate, there’s more than enough to go around! “
“ why don’t you spend the night here? really, it’s no trouble to fix up the guest room, and we have plenty of spare pajamas and toiletries if that’s what’s bothering you! “
“ look, i get the whole lone wolf thing, trust me, i do. but… you do understand that there’ll always be a place here for you, don’t you? that door is always open to you, no matter what. that’s a promise. “
“ why don’t i make you a cup of tea, and you can tell me all about it? “
“ [NAME]? hey, hey, hey, what’s the matter? are you okay? what’s wrong? oh, come here… “
“ jeez, i don’t even wanna know how you got that battle wound there; sit down and let me fix it up, won’t you? “
“ hey, stranger! it’s been a minute, huh? what’ve you been up to? how have you been? hell, where have you been? “
“ now, now, don’t be silly; put that wallet away. i invited you out for dinner, so i’ll pay the bill, right? you can get the next one! “
“ hey, you didn’t order anything! don’t worry about it, huh? here, take half my sandwich; i can never finish the damn thing, anyway, you’re really doing me the favor! and there’s coffee in that flask, so help yourself to that, too! i’ve been trying to cut back, anyhow. “
“ hey, i know it’s really late, but… i didn’t know who else to call. “
“ everything’s gonna be okay, i promise. just tell me where you are, okay? and i’ll come and get you right this second. “
“ well, we have to celebrate your good news! what’s your favorite dinner? oh, and cake! we can’t have a decent celebration without cake, right? “
“ hey, hey, it’s okay, relax. i’m not about to nag you for skipping out on curfew, alright? have you eaten anything? because i saved you a plate, and it’s in the oven if you want it. “
“ now, now, none of that self-hate talk! we all have bad days, right? we all mess up sometimes and make silly mistakes. but it doesn’t matter at the end of the day; it just makes the good days all the better! “
“ guess who has an extra ticket for the concert this weekend! wanna come with me? they’re practically front row! “
“ you’re still coming over for dinner tonight, right? “
“ hey! what are your plans for the holidays? because, if you didn’t have any, i have an offer for you! or an open invitation! “
“ did you do something different with your hair? it looks amazing! “
“ oh my god, where have you been?! i was so worried about you! are you okay? did you get hurt?! “
“ we should go out tonight! come on, you can ransack my wardrobe if you like! i have a friend who’s the bouncer at that new night club, they can get us in for free! “
“ i made you some breakfast, if you’re hungry? it’s your favorite! unless you’ve got a new favorite, in which case… “
“ don’t forget to take an umbrella! “
“ let me know when you get there so i know you’re safe, okay? “
“ i watched that show you recommended last week! it was so good! can you believe that season finale, though? “
“ rough night, huh? i know that feeling. here, help yourself; the coffee is fresh, and the waffles are pretty damn good today, if i do say so myself! “
“ i knew you’d forget yours, so i brought extra. go ahead, help yourself! “
“ you’re welcome to stay for as long as you like. what’s mine is yours, okay? you don’t need to ask permission, just take whatever you want. “
“ you should get some sleep, okay? my room is just down the hall if you need anything. “
“ you don’t need to be so polite around here, you know! help yourself; i don’t bite! “
“ hey now, never apologize for feeling emotions, okay? humans are meant to feel all this stuff, no matter how good or bad the feelings are. besides; shoulders are built to be cried on! “
“ you should keep that sweater! it looks much better on you than it does on me; brings out your eyes! “
“ i never realized you could cook! the apron suits you very nicely! “
“ if you don’t have any plans this weekend, we should do something together! “
“ remember, if you want to leave early, just call me and i’ll come get you, okay? “
“ would you come on in inside out of that rain?! you’ll catch your death! “
“ don’t worry about it, okay? no apologies necessary; just breathe, everything’s good. “
“ it’s okay! no use crying over spilt milk, am i right? fetch me that mop and i’ll clean it up; you should find a clean shirt in the third drawer in my room, too! “
“ here, grab a plate; i made your favorite, and there’s more than enough for you to have seconds and take home a tonne of leftovers, too! “
“ would you mind setting the table for me while i finish up in the kitchen? “
“ you want some hot cocoa before you go to bed? i’m more than happy to have one with you; not to praise myself or anything, but my hot cocoa is the best in town! “
“ you did it! oh, congratulations! quick, i’m gonna fetch the sparkling cider, and then i’ll book a table somewhere fancy; we’re going to celebrate in style! “
“ oh god, you’re burning up a fever, you poor thing! here, lie down, let’s get you some water and a nice cool cloth, huh? “
“ how are you feeling? i thought you might be hungry, so i made some tea and toast. “
“ i thought i might find you out here… this must be your favorite spot, huh? it’s nice! “
“ how are you? and be real with me, now; i can tell when you’re not being honest with me. you’ve got a tell. “
“ figured you might be needing an extra blanket in this weather. you mind if i sit with you for a while? “
“ let’s go for a walk, huh? i know this place that does the best coffee you’ll ever have! “
“ i can’t believe you’ve never seen this movie before! we have to fix this immediately; you get the popcorn, i’ll order in the pizza and get the tv set up. “
“ wow… that pun was so awful, it actually became good again. nicely done! “
“ i know you have that meeting today, so i thought i’d come wish you luck. and give you my lucky socks! “
“ hey! i hope you’re hungry, i spared you some waffles and pancakes from breakfast this morning! “
“ maybe you’re not ready to talk just now. but i want you to know that, whenever you are, my door is always open to you. understand? “
“ i’m not here to say i told you so, don’t worry. i’m not that cruel. i’m just here to comfort my friend. “
“ you’re here so often, i figured it was about time you had your very own mug! “
“ do you mind if i put you down as my emergency contact? “
“ you should move in with me! i have a spare room, the rent is cheap, it’s closer to work… i mean, only if you want to, but i’m very much in favor of this! “
“ i know that things haven’t been easy for you lately, so… i was thinking, maybe we could plan a little vacation together? “
“ pull the car over, alright? you can get some sleep in the back seat, and i’ll take over the driving. “
“ woah, woah, woah… slow it down a few miles, huh? what’s going on? where’s the fire? “
“ do you want a hug? i give some really good hugs; i nearly got voted the best hug-giver in the continent, once! come on, you know you want to! “
“ hey! so i’m after having a really crappy day. you wanna get take-out and watch a movie at my place tonight? “
“ i remember you saying you didn’t like this ingredient last time, so i fixed you up something else. “

"Good. Trust me, you won't regret it."
Taking out his phone, he made a quick search before finding the highest praised contractors available in the area, sending a quick message to them for a call later.
He'd make damn sure that she wouldn't have to suffer through chills in the winter or intense heat in the summer. That was when he had a thought and looked over to her once more, pausing in scrolling through a shopping app. "Say, what kind of electronics does your place have?"
She watches him, feeling a bit awkward about her own inability to act. Even though they've known each other for some time, she finds it difficult to place faith on his words. But since the matter has already been put into motion, she has no choice but to trust him.
"I have... a television, a refrigerator, and a radio."
In other words, everything else is done by hand. Washing clothes and dishes is done with just soap and water, and cooking is done with firewood. Saying she lives a rustic lifestyle would be underselling it.
"Why? Are you going to try and replace those with something new and spiffy? I'll warn you, I have a hard time when it comes to screens!"
"If I'm honest, there were times where I didn't even realize it had been a year or two that went by until someone else pointed it out. I was usually always busy, even when meditating to keep my mind sharp. It wasn't easy by any means, but it was worth it."
He gave a soft breath as he thought about all the years he had gone through bettering himself. It was a long road, but fulfilling. With a smile, he closed his eyes to enjoy the peace the memories brought him.
"Even if it took longer than fifteen years, I would still do it. There's no amount of time to properly find yourself. Just long enough to know when you're ready."
"To be honest, I can't imagine what my life will look like fifteen years from now. I have a dream, but not a realistic image. For all I know, everything I'm working towards could be a massive failure."
The thought of failure has stuck out in her mind recently. Even though she's always putting forth 100% effort, nothing ever seems to work out for her. Like a constant string of bad luck. Is there any fixing something like that?
"How do you know? How do you know when you're ready to push forward?"
"Uh, yeah? Unless you suddenly came into a bunch of money, I dunno if you'd be able to afford it and you never know when dealing with it could go wrong."
He could understand her reluctance to agree, but he just wanted her to have something nice and not just the bare minimum of survival. "If something happens, I swear to you that I'll retire from baseball and donate all my money to repairs."
"Huh?"
Never has someone offered self-sacrifice to her. For her entire life, it's always been "get and give in return". The world revolved around exchange. In other words, nothing is free. Physical materials are precious. One's occupation is precious.
She can't fathom why he would offer something like that for her. All she knows is the feeling that comes along with it. An impossible warmth.
"I..." She huffs, crossing her arms and turning her nose up. ".... Well, if you're going to beg like that, I suppose I have no choice. I'll allow it, just this once."
He certainly didn't like the sound of that. With a tense breath through his nose, he cupped his chin in thought. He wanted to just ask her to move in with him so he can ensure her safety and comfort, but he knew she was much too proud for that.
"Alright, look. I'm not gonna ask you to leave your home or anything like that, but at least let me pay for it to be updated and patched up? I can ask the contractors to not make any changes to the appearance, just putting in a good air system and fix the drafts and leaks."
"You? Pay for it?" If she were a cat, she'd be bristling. The thought of anyone having control over what goes on in the home she inherited quickly makes her defensive. She narrows her eyes as if questioning her trust in him- assessing for any sort of ill intent.
"How can I ensure that nothing in my home will be damaged, snooped through, or otherwise lost? Never in my life have I allowed someone I don't know walk through those doors. I'm not eager to start now."
