Invasion of the Anzens

Who: Some Anzens & you
When: July 29
Where: Dorms
What: just friendly people being good neighbors
Warnings: N/A

[ Knock knock, open up, there is some number of Anzens at your door.

A pretty lady in sky blue smiles and waves. ]

Good evening. Hopefully this isn't a bad time? Enough time has passed that we figured it was a good idea to check in and make proper introductions.

You'll have to forgive the lack of housewarming gift. We're a bit shorthanded at the moment, which I'm sure you can relate to.


[ From behind her peers a perfectly average guy with tousled hair dressed in sky blue slacks. He gives a friendly wave! ]

We did think about it, though.

[ GIVE BROWNIE POINTS ]

[ This, apparently, is the Right question to ask, as Nei only brightens further. ]

I don't only consider myself a fighter, I am actually a fighter! A professional! I've devoted my whole life to my work!

[a tiny li'l grin]

That's good. I only know how to run away.

[he's scrappy and resourceful enough that he could probably use underhanded tactics to overwhelm an opponent, but he'd rather not find this out the hard way. his nature is (relatively) non-violent]

. . . what made you want to learn?

[ What made her want to learn? Nei seems taken aback by the question, truthfully, like nobody's really asked her that before. But the reason, she supposes, is the same as the reason she works so hard at everything she does. ]

...I want to be good, and I want to be praised for being good!

[ ???? ]

[. . . ???]

Oh! I--

[I mean. . . validation is a valid (hah) thing to want! but learning to fight just to be praised sure is. . . something. then again, he comes from a world where it isn't necessary (or even legal) to carry around swords, so. . . maybe his perspective is just. different]

. . . I understand!

[he does. but he still sounds a bit bewildered]

Do you. . . get a lot of that praise, back home?
praiseful: (135)

[personal profile] praiseful 2025-07-31 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a little more to it than just being praised, of course, but that's the reason Nei is willing to voice for now. ]

Naturally! I'm the best agent around, so it's only natural. I complete more missions than anyone else and I always do it cleanly and efficiently! I'm well-respected...!

[he won't pry any further! if that's the reason she's giving, then it's the reason he's accepting]

"Missions?"

[personal profile] praiseful 2025-08-04 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. To hunt undead beasts that feed on humans!

[YET ANOTHER ONE FROM A WORLD HE CAN BARELY COMPREHEND. . . he really does feel like the odd one out]

. . . you must be brave to take on a mission like that one!

[that is a genuine sentiment, ftr]

[ just wait 'till he hears mizi's whole deal ]

It's definitely not for the faint-hearted!

[ staring directly at him as if to say he is the faint-hearted, ]

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-08-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ALREADY HAS. ALREADY LOST HIS MIND. IT'S LIKE LUKA ALL OVER AGAIN]

Why do I feel like you're accusing me of being faint-hearted. . .

[ jiiiiii

what if she just... she sort of feels like... she should mess with him.



slowly turns away as if she's done talking to him...

and then abruptly turns back to face him with a wild look on her face— ]


Boo!

[and then he fucking JUMPS. just a little one! no big freak outs here! but she did do him a startle!!]

-- don't do that!!

[personal profile] praiseful 2025-08-07 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ she is DELIGHTED even with just that startle ]

Why not?! It's practice for the real ghosts!
ordimame: (83)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-08-07 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't need practice!

[glowering]

Much less from someone who enjoyed that way too much.
praiseful: (012)

[personal profile] praiseful 2025-08-08 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Huuh? I enjoyed it a normal amount!

[ this yakujoker.. ]

But not as much as that one guy [ akechi ] who fell over in the cafeteria at any sound...!

[oh my GOD, this conversation is telling him so much about her personality]

Don't you think we have enough to worry about already? We don't need to be freaking each other out, too.
