Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 01-03-2020
Thread Status: Closed
Players involved: KokoPuffs, Andromeda
Characters involved: Dei (andromeda) Yukiji (kokopuffs) *more to come later*
The sun had set already in the sky of the city, sipping below the horizon until it was nothing more; though slowly the moon rose and took its place instead. Sure, night care much faster now, the colder months having set upon this part of the world. Yet, it was always their favorite time of year. Something about the cold made her feel at peace, relaxed, and content with herself. And why not? She was young, beautiful, and ran a successful business; she almost felt on top of the world. Each night she was there, overseeing what was going on within; making sure her workers were always taken care of first.
It was a strip club she owned, a place for men and women alike so drink, and watch beautiful women perform in stage. Some might call it a trashy, filthy place of sin, but her Yukiji it was more than home for her. To her this place represented herself, and that showed well in how the place was set. Elegant and classy, unlike those that many found kind of trashy; where men seemed to man handle the women with no regards. Not here, there were more than enough rules against such things, plenty of clients found themselves thrown out for their misconduct.
Ok this night, it seemed, one client decided to try such a thing on one of her girls; a sweet woman, pale blonde hair and deep golden browns eyes. A women any man might have sought after, but it happened outside. It was like he was watching her the whole time, waiting for the time where she was clocked out; as he found her outside as she left.
Screaming could be heard, and Yukiji even from the inside could hear it through the air. In an instant, almost like no time at all, she ran as quickly as she could outside. A vile man was trying to take advantage of the women as she struggled against him. Yukiji was pissed at this, how disgusting a site to behold. It didn’t take any time for her to march over; her body pushing itself between the worker and the man.
“Back off asshole,” she yelled out, hands places squarely upon his chest as she pushed him back, “how DARE you try to manhandle one of my workers, you’re as vile as the rats that crawl through the sewer! Either you leave or I will be calling the cops!”
The smaller woman stood tall, chest puffed out and pose sturdy against the earth below her feet. There was a sluring of words from him, he was more than drunk. Not only could she smell it upon his breath but he swayed slightly from side to side; trying his best to keep his balance. It didn’t stop him, it only made this nasty individual much harder to sway away from this. He even tired to reach for her girl again, which Yukiji blocked him from doing so, once more pushing him away.

A man had been walking down the street nearby. He smelled of alcohol from a nearby bar that he had been in. It had been his birthday and his sister had been adament about partying until they were both drunk. She had bailed on them though for a 'friend' and left him alone. He had stayed with their friends until a bit later and now here he was.
"Happy fucking hatch day to me," he muttered, sighing annoyed at this feeling. He missed when they were younger on days like this. At least then they spent more time together and maybe their dad would pretend to care. Or at least show up for his sister... Their dad always loved her more anyways if you could call what he felt love. Dei sweared the guy only tolerated them half the time.
He checked his phone as he was walking when he heard a girl scream and he stopped freezing. He looked over and saw two women with a drunk man. One was scared and the only was screaming at him. Checking traffic, he jay walked across the street to try to see if he could help. "Is there a problem here?"
He stopped beside the guy, grabbing his arm as the girl shoved him. "I would certainly hope not but if there is... I can help resolve it."
Deimos' orange eyes glowed dangerously at the man.
RE: Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 01-04-2020
This wasn't something that Yukiji or the other woman was expecting in the least, hell, it wasn't even something that happened often either. Most would usually just walk by as if they weren't seeing anything, keeping themselves out of confrontation they didn't need to be having at all. So when Yukiji's eyes widened at the sight of the tall man, she let ouf a surprised gasp at his form. Even the man he held by the arm came to a surprised look, his eyes bearing up into Deimos' own glowing orange ones.
He scoffed softly, rolling his drunken eyes at the other, they finally landed on the two women before them. "Problem? Naaaah, I was just talking to a pair of pretty ladies," he grinned, as if the man holding his arm would let him go, "I mean, ya know how it is, can't help yaself around a pretty thing."
The shorter of the woman growled softly under her breath, it was then she took a step closer and brought her hand across the man's face in anger. "No we certainly DO have a problem here, sir," she glared deeply, "he has the audacity to come and harass one of my very workers, even AFTER she had clocked out and is on her way home!"
The man grew angrily,slurring as he cursed at them. "Ah shut up you bitch, she's a damn stripper it's what she should LIKE!"

Deimos sighed this was rather annoying. So much noise. Part of him wondered if it would be better just to involve the cops but then again he'd probably get charged with assult for merely touching this douche. But so much yelling... It was killing his vibe from his party.
"All of you just shut the fuck up. So noisy and we are all right here so there is no point in yelling. It doesn't make you taller or scarier, trust me," he said after a moment a dark smile on his skin. He grabbed the dark man by the throat with his free hand and slowly backed him up to the wall. The arm he already had pinned against the mans chest putting pressure on his chest to keep it from expanding and limiting the air he was allowed to get.
"Now the lady doesn't seem to like you and I can't blame her with that ugly mug you got. So I suggest you leave before this gets nasty and I don't mind washing you from my clothes okay?" He whispered lowly into his ear.
RE: Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 01-04-2020
The women women stood there a little shocked at his words, though perhaps that really did make sense; but when dealing with loud drunks it always made more sense to yell OVER them. Yuki turned to face her worker, who was more than ready to up and leave the place, giving her permission to get going. The girl didn’t hesitate in the least, but quickly thanked her boss for helping her out, even if the man who barged in certainly had his hands full as well. With a wave she was quickly off into the cold, night air, coat pulled snuggly against her body.
Now there stood only Yukiji and the two other men, on drunk and the other... oddly enough from his breath seemed so as well. Yet he didn’t have the mindset of the other, but what he did next put much different thoughts into her mind. He stood there, this taller man, large hand wrapped around the other’s throat so easily. It would be a lie if she didn’t find herself wanting that kind of treatment, but for much more naughty reasons.
The man, however, gasped softly when it happened; eyes wide as his gazed peered at Deimos. His breathing became shallow thanks to him, chest hardly being able to raise as it should to bring air into his body. Finally he spoke up as best he can, wanting to avoid a heavy amount of damage to himself. “Yeah yeah, just let me go I’ll leave...” he muttered, body shaking slightly with each breath.

And with that Deimos let him go giving him a smile that was too friendly to be rea . He gently patted the guy's cheek. "See no one has a problem anymore," he said backing up and motioned for the man to leave. It wouldn't be good if he stayed and tried something else.
Deimos looked at the remaining girl and tilted his head. Where had the other gone? He had at least wanted to make sure she was fine but he guessed if she could leave on her own she was well enough "How about you? You okay?"
His ornage eyes had flickered back at the man and the girl that remained. "You don't seem hurt..."
RE: Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 01-04-2020
The man didn't take anytime in sprinting off the best he could away from the other, he breath deep with panting as he soon crossed the street; though nearly hit by a car or two, but he wanted as far away from Deimos as he possibly could. Yukiji, however, stood there just watching the gross man leave, and now it was only the two of them standing there near the club. Her hands went into the pockets of the coat she was wearing, crimson eyes set staring into his own.
"Of course I am," she said with a slight scoff, "hurt? I wouldn't allow someone to easily even try to hurt me, let alone my girls either. Though.." The woman found herself taking a few steps towards the man, her eyes taking in the sight of his face. He was handsome, there wasn't any doubt about that. She was practically entranced with his image, but his eyes held her own for much longer than anything.
"Ah, sorry for staring darling, I am Yukiji," she reached her hand out, "I must thank you for your assistance tonight, surely there is some way I could repay you for it?"
RE: Once upon a modern tale - Andromeda - 01-05-2020
"Repay me?"
The man looked so confused at the concept and blinked at her rapidly for a moment. He finally took her hand and shook it. What in the hell was she talking about? "Look, I only helped cause I could smell it okay? You're like me... you're different and not human. There are so few of us around and I didn't want another lost to humanity's stupid ego. Especially over something they started. You being alive is payment enough..."
He held up the palm of his hands and shrugged. "No foul done. But if you really want to... how about a drink?" It was a simple thing to give and honestly he could use another. That man had almost killed his vibe.
RE: Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 01-05-2020
As the woman pulled her hand away from his own, she covered her mouth with it as she gave a little chuckle about the whole thing; soon enough letting out a soft sigh when she was done. “Oh trust me, I could sense it on you as well, perhaps not in smell...” she grinned lightly up to him, her hand gently reached out to graze along the length of his forearm, “it’s not every day I see a human man with glowing orange eyes, as far as I’VE ever seen that’s not quite a natural thing for humans. The glowing was certainly more than a tip off with that as well, my dear, it’s been quite a while since I have met one of my own.”
As he mentioned, their weren’t many left around, few among the many humans that roamed the world. The sounds of passing cars and people filled the night air; even soft sounds of yelling trailed off into the distance. “Ah, a drink it will be then, I do know the perfect place... as long as you aren’t embarrassed by stripping women that is~” yukiji’s words almost came out as a delicate purr, “if it does, I am quite sorry for it, but we could have a few drink in my office if anything else. I like to be close by here just to be safe, can’t be too careful you know.”
With that said, the woman turned on her heal towards the back entrance she’d come out of before; though she stopped momentarily to wave at him to follow her. It wasn’t usual for her to do this, but for a man that helped AND was of her own kind... it was more than a special occasion.

She was a strange one. He was surprised she didn't do something with hoarding as a dragon, but he guessed this was that if you counted girls as items. He followed after her and upon entering, glanced around. He wasn't above this kinda place but he often didn't go to them for pleasure. Supernatural creatures were about the only thing he found pleasure in and honestly? Humans were a big turn off for him. And they were too fragile but that is a story for another time.
"Fine establishment you have here," he said looking back at her with a smirk. "How long you been in this business and don't give me that 'girls don't tell ages' crap'? I mean it's seriously well thoughtout and sex always sells."
It was true and did and that market had survived the test of time. Even when people found it morally wrong, they'd still find little ways to legalize small parts of it like this. "Personally I'm more of a model myself. I got signed last week. Figured might as well sell my pretty face while I still can. Who knows? Maybe my age will hit me one day." He was totally joking. He knew it wouldn't.
