@paradiserots ft. karuna

location: underground fighting rings. sweat and blood hang heavy in the air, roar of the crowds that gather in the dingy underground vibrating through you thanks to how packed together everyone is. maxine feels most at home here, having spent a large part of her childhood in amongst the people, watching her father deliver blow after blow, cheering him on from the sidelines. despite the complicated feelings she has towards fighting, she can't deny the ring calls to her like a siren. tempting to blow off steam and earn some cash. she's wrapping her knuckles, getting ready for a fight when she looks up to see a familiar face. fucking karuna. are they her opponent? the way they look tells maxine that yes, they most definitely are. "you're in a rush to get the shit kicked out of you, huh?" max questions her long-time rival.

CLOSED STARTER + DAIYU CHEN WITH TAEWOO KYO , @paradiserots !

as a soldier for the DEAD HAND, tae-woo decided to work as a bartender at the olive branch martini bar. though it was a process, it was quick all around. “hello, boss número dos.” the young man greets miss daiyu chen, seeing his boss— the owner as well— right when he walked into the bar. always early, never late. tae-woo was a fine bartender and quick with his hands. was he a baddie? well, that’s somewhat debatable, considering how punctual he was. guess you could say he has a good work ethic. “do you want me to do anything— clean, maybe— before we open up? hate to say i can never remember our work hours.”
