Another! Hi! I'm Invader! Nice to meet you!

@lil-invader

Ah. Hello child. Do ya need any help?

[lovelyladystaff]

[Hasty, strong footsteps could be heard outside her window. Quick and light but with purpose. Steady and ever so hurried, as though whoever was walking was doing so with a steadfast determination and goal. Then, as though having reached its goal, they abruptly stopped. Only to be replaced by the clinking of stone against his window, most likely from pebbles being thrown just strong enough to not break anything] -@hyo-online

[Ayaka was in the middle of wiping down Assistaff when she heard the footsteps and immediately became antsy,standing with weapon in hand,pressing herself against the wall of her bedroom window,bracing herself before the little pebbles ticked the window and she stopped,confused for a moment before looking out and down.]

What the...

[She murmurs and opens the window,looking down at Hyo with an annoyed expression. She was not in her best look right now with the fluffy bedhead and puffy eyes and very not regal looking messy haori.]

Are ya a teenager or sumthin.

Goka seemed to have finally come across a Zanka. A lot more feminine than he was used to seeing but he walked up behind them putting a hand on there shoulder lightly. "Hey... Ayaka?..." Goka said in a questioning tone. The anons had said Ayaka... Or at least he was pretty sure they had.

[Ayaka's shoulders bunched up slightly at the familiar hand.]

I already did my stuff fo' today,what is it now...

[Ayaka frowned and resisted the urge to throw the cup she was holding over the garden. She hated coffee,and surprisingly,even more with milk,but she was just about to fall asleep after pulling an all nighter while working on the case of that Pierre...girl? She hadn't even asked...

She groaned, rubbed her eyes, and slumped slightly onto the bench where she had been sitting. It was 5 a.m., and the morning dew was falling, the bench was wet and thin fell in upon her.]

[Ayaka rolled a bullet cartridge between her fingers,sitting by the pond that reflected moonlight into her skin and croaked back at her mindlessly whispered curses.

She should be sleeping,or studying,or training. Anything productive. Hell,she could be celebrating right now.

She shouldn't.

Emptiness is the last thing she should feel. She graduated the academy first of her class,even though it almost killed her —because she's weak—and on top of it all her father had come celebrate her. She should he ecstatic.

But her mind didn't allow her to think that shallowly. That was just her obligation as a Nijiku. One of them. The bare minimum.

And yet,it was so hard. Hard like it shouldn't be for a Nijiku, a true genius.

And now she didn't even have the clemency of being in the Academy,simply a school,her home. She'd either be out there and people would finally see how weak she is,or she'd stay inside and rot until she's as putrid as all the politicians she'd have to deal with in her future position. Or both.

Her fingers tightened around her staff. Her beautiful,wonderful,marvelous Lovely Assistaff. The bane of her very existence and the reason of her faults. And yet so cherished.

She wished she was as lovable as Assistaff. That even as a random stick,assorted randomly along with true weapons,managed to have her own unique allure.

A frog jumping into her lap broke her out of her thoughts and Ayaka chuckled softly,placing Lovely by her side and taking the little frog on her hands.]

Guess we're both a love away from our royal era.

[She alluded to the classic tale of a princess kissing a frog and him turning into a prince before putting the amphibian down and getting up with Lovely's help. Like a danm crutch.]

Someone walked up right behind Ayaka a hand tightly gripping their shoulder. "Come on Ayaka. What the hell are you even doing out here? You have stuff to get done." { @tired-goka }

[Ayaka has a full body shudder at being gauged from her daze,looking back at Goka with confusion.]

Wh- Goka?- what?

I was just havin' a walk after father left-

"Zank--- You're not Zanka. At least, not my Zanka. Sorry to bother you."

...that's not my name. What is it that you want,citizen.
