✮ "Īe{Japanese romaji for no btw :3}!!!!! exclaims Ene as a light tint of pink appears on her cheek. Her blue flame around her left eye grows in size. "That's not it Taw!" Ene places the now empty plate down and uses her free hand to cover her mouth as she nears Misty's ear. "Something seems off about this guy. I don't know what though," whispers the embarrassed girl quiet enough for only Misty to hear. She then backs up and grabs the dish with the Crunch Minch rolls. She plops on into her mouth and smiles at the taste of the flavor. It tastes sweet and thanks to the sesame seeds it's crunchy. She swallows it before in a shy innocent way looks over at Misty. "I always keep an eye on my surroundings it's a habit plus I could sense his presence. The way I sense presences is similar to how many Meisters have the soul perception ability," explains Ene innocently. Truthfully, Ene dislikes acting cute for an unknown reason but she can't help to act like such at times. Unbeknownst to her, her true self, that has been liked away in the fragments of her memories only to be brought back out when her entire memory is put back together, hates acting cute. Her true self took many things serious and rarely acted carefree. Ene takes another piece of sushi and tosses it into her mouth as her flame burns large with a dark blue color and the pink tint still remains accross her cheeks. ✮
Kuro Rei Partner(s):Misty and Ene Kuro looked at the last sushi roll he had he finish his plate and drank the rest of his water, hearing the girl's conversation he didn't really pay too much attention to the guy. the chef gave Kuro some caramel covered treat that is soft when bitten into, i didn't ask for any of this? the chef laughed It's on the house so don't worry Kuro looked at the treat and pick one up it was in a ball form and 4 were on each stick and there were 2 stick, Thanks said Kuro hearing Ene's words saying something doesn't feel right

"aww but you looked soo cute back then, it was almost as if cupid had marked your heart." Said Misty, teasing the girl a little more. Picking another dragon roll she had finally finished her plate. The foor was delicious, not only that but the chef was suddenly giving food for free? "oh my this is heaven ;w; ~<3" Replied cheerfully while picking an extra order, it would seem that person was either giving them some charity or it was the owner's child. But she wouldn't complain on that, after all there was free snacks. "Say, are you in DWMA by any chance?" Asked Misty to the redhaired boy. After all he was just kind enough to salute them a few minutes ago, but being kinda distant she couldn't help but portrait him as a lonely person. After all, there was no one with him and the nostalgic aura around him didn't help that much. She diverted her gaze to Kuro for a second, at the very least he was having fun? He wasn't very talkative either. Looking back at the red head. She giggled finding some odd similarities between both boys.
"Aye. I'm...not from DWMA. Not yet. More accurately I'm going to be from there in a couple days. Name's Lance Archer." he said his name as if he wished it wasn't his. Funny story, this was in fact the case. As he took one of the two sake cups and drained its contents, he filled it back up and for a moment gave the other three a good old-fashioned once over. The girls didn't loo too bad. The guy however seemed a little too much business and not enough pleasure.
"I'm meeting my father here soon. Perhaps you've heard of him....Jack Archer. Or Dead-Eye, as he used to be called." Now that was a name sure to be a good cure for constipation, assuming the Archer family of ranged weapons was as known in this part of the world. Every single male in every single generation was a powerful weapon either some form of firearm or medieval ranged weapon. More than one had become Death Scythes. His own father, Jack "Dead-Eye" Archer was in fact a retired one. Needless to say, such a pedigree meant the family was almost made of money, although clearly the latest generation didn't quite seem to have gotten the memo.
"I'd like it if you'd three stay and meet him. It might do some good for him to see I've already made some friends," he finished as those orbs of bleached gold kept shooting to the door and back. He was anxious. This was the night he was going to spill the beans to his father that he'd chosen NOT to enroll in DMA, and thus also inform his father that the small fortune that had been spent to ensure his approval and tuition had been wasted.
((Jeebus. I step away for a few measly hours and I fall this woefully behind? Christ...Wait. I just put 2 and 2 together. DANGOS!!!!! Little tiny rice ball-kabobs covered in what amounts to a sort of honey-molasses sauce. One of my personal faves if I do say so myself lmao.))
✮"Oh, so are you a weapon or a meister?" asks Ene before eating the last roll of the Crunch Munch. She then places the plate on the table and then her chopsticks on top of that with the thicker end of the sticks pointing in the 3 o'clock direction."Jack Archer?"asks the black haired female, "I've never heard of him." Ene looks over at Kuro and Misty who both enjoy the sweet treat. Ene glances over at the other two and places her hand on her stomach. She feels too full to ingest anything else plus she doesn't want to. The blue eyed girl isn't all too fond with these earthly sweets. She enjoys them, yes, but would rather enjoy them once in a while. Ene blinks her eyes and a bit of her seriousness blooms in her again. It wasn't her cold side nor was it her enthusiastic side but instead it was a side in between."I'll stay if Kuro and Taw wish to,"she replies to him calmly with a soft expression on her face. "I don't think you told us your name," she says with a light smile. ✮
Actually he did mention his name lol, like in the first couple sentences of my last post XD
He'd told her his name not seconds ago and she'd forgotten. As he repeated his name, there was an obviously annoyed frown creasing his brow, though he otherwise acted like it wasn't there. "Lance Archer. I'm a weapon, just like every other male in my family. You could say it's something of my family's pride. Personally, I couldn't care less."
Before he could say more, Lance saw his father coming through the crack between the door and the door frame and his heart almost stopped. The old man was early. The guy was literally steps from the door as Lance quickly said to the others, "Might wanna decide quickly, he's here."
And as if cued by Lance's words, a tall man with bright scarlet hair, long and pulled into a ponytail, circular glasses resting on the bridge of his nose (behind which were eyes identical to Lance's in every possible way, denoting their shared Eagle Eye ability which allows them to see with crystal clear accuracy for up to miles), and dressed in a black and red three-piece suit. Altogether, the man looked almost too young to be a father, let alone a retired Death Scythe. Every one of his features was handsome yet cynically sharp. His resemblance to Lance was so profound as to be downright creepy. He might have been Lance's double, only about 19 years older.
"Boy," Jack "Dead-Eye" Archer yelled at his son, "you'd better have a DAMN fine reason for making me meet you in this place I oughta hide you here and now, son so help--" and then he halted as he saw the trio sitting next to where he'd stopped to shout at Lance. "A pleasure to meet cha, lad and lasses," he offered as if he'd not just shaken a window or two with his shouting. The Irish accent was a hair thicker in the father, and it only added to the almost eerie sense of seeing double. Lance himself managed to give all three a head jerk plus wink combo that just about screamed "play along and follow my lead." If all went well, Lance might even be able to make it home uninjured tonight.
✮ Ene nods her head in the second telling of his name. "We might as well stay I guess. We're already here,"she says softly cocking her head lazily to the side as she leans her back on the table. She could feel another presence and figures it's Lance's father. She watches as the man comes in. No way this is his dad. The girl watches as the man comes in shouting at him but suddenly stops as he spots Kuro, Misty, and her. Ene notices Lance's wink instantly and gives a soft smile to the man despite the fact that she feels a bit fishy about this. "It's nice to meet you too. I'm Ene," says the black haired girl as she holds out her hand. her blue flame grows larger as the blue color darkens to a bold dark blue shade.Unbeknownst to Ene or the others a memory of hers will soon be triggered. Maybe now. Maybe in a few seconds, minutes, hours. It all occurs at random.✮
(((OOC: Wow XD I did not see that XD I'm sorry T.T)))
Kuro Rei Partner(s):Misty and Ene Kuro finishing his treat herd a man yelling he turned his head and saw Lance's father, Kuro didn't show any sign of interest and turned his head towards Ene as she suggested them to stay. Kuro nodded to Lance's father as he greeted them and though to himself " hmm I don't see anything frightening about lances father, but he sure is loud". Kuro turned back to the chef Can I get the check Kuro said as he just waited for everything to play out
------------------------------------------------------------------- ◈◈Age : 19◈◈Gender : Female◈◈Mood : Must Hug Ene - Chan ~<3 ◈◈Partner : Kuro (Kiddo ~<3) , Ene (chan ~<3) ◈◈Status : Single◈◈ -------------------------------------------------------------------
She was about to introduce herself when she suddenly witnesses the conmotion between father and son, which made her have a second thought and hug Ene instead. "Damn, I need to eat fast. Took me too long to eat"
I can already tell I'm gonna hate the few and far between occasions where Lance's daddy makes an appearance.
Lance was glad that at least one of them caught his hint. As his father seemed to calm slightly at seeing there were witnesses, Lance seized his chance to speak. His voice, still as gentle as that of an angel and as alluring as that of Adonis, shook with a timid fear that was well-earned. However, he'd chosen this location purposefully. Despite being relatively new in town, the staff all knew him and his father well. In this place, at least, his father would behave himself and the staff would not panic if a fight broke out between father and son.
"Father, this is...." he started, straight forgetting if he'd even been told their names for a moment, then his photographic memory kicked in and did the rest, as he'd not been told but he had heard them call each other by name. "This is Kuro and Ene and....Taw." He had no idea if that last one was correct, as it seemed to be more of a sisterly pet name. But it was what he'd heard used and so he used it. "Come and sit, father. There's sake." The dad, who reached out his hand to each in turn to shake, suddenly perked up at the word "sake."
Now it was shown why he'd ordered a whole bottle. Jack seemed to forget the other three were there in an instant and before his arse was even settled into his seat next to his son, old Dead Eye Archer had already taken 3 shots of the liquor. Lance took one as well, clearly in an effort to work up his nerve. Now he played the stalling game while hoping his dad got himself drunk enough on the cheap rice wine.
"So dad, how was your day?" as if he didn't already know. The man, after he'd "retired" (in truth, Jack Archer had been dishonorably discharged from his service as a Death Scythe due to being a rather hateful drunk), spent the past decade in a near-constant drunkenness that only paused when he was required to tend to some of the work that his family's prestige warranted. Namely the entertaining of similarly well-to-do families of weapons and meisters. Lance hated the damn blue bloods but he knew his father could never stop talking about them, And he knew his dad well. As jack Archer launched into a rambling rant (or rave. he was already diving into the bottle and his words were slurring too much to be able to tell) about how this aristocrat's wife was a whore or how that poor person only wanted to date someone's son to get his "filthy pauper hands" the other friend's money. Lance knew that this was low, getting his dad drunk so as to lessen the reaction when he dropped the bomb, but it was better than waiting for the letter of acceptance do the job for him. With a glance over to the supposed "friends," he mouthed two words silently, hoping he wasn't the only one who could read lips. "Please stay."
((Sorry if the post is kinda blegh...kinda pulling this outta my a** as I go right now))
✮ Ene holds on to Misty lightly as the brunette hugs her. She then watches as Lance's father becomes drunk almost instantly. Keeping a calm soft look the weapon cathes Lance's message and looks at Misty and Kuro wondering if they'd still like to stay in the presence of this drunkard. Feeling a bit pitiful for Lance Ene decides to stay curious to know why he wants them their. If the other two decide to leave she'll catch up to them later but the black haired girl wants her questions to be answered one way or another.✮
(((OOC: It's fine we all have those days and it's not bad at all reallybiggrin)))))))
Kuro Rei Partner(s):Misty and Ene Kuro noticed Lance's dad becoming drunk and saw Lances face expression, Kuro looked over to Ene who looked like she wanted to know something. looks like this guys ganna only get louder the way hes drinking. Kuro said to Misty and Ene wondering if they still wanted to stay since they weren't really doing anything.
As Jack Archer continued his rambling, Lance nodding and saying the right things at the right times, it was evident that Lance had done this many times before. Eventually, he was able to get more than a word in edgewise.
"I'm sure Madam Shanks would...appreciate, your sentiments Father," Lance led off, "But I did call you to meet with you here for a reason. But before I get to that, I need to step outside and check to see if my bike's still there. You know the other half in this part of town." Clearly Lance was full of s**t, just making up a reason to step outside. As he stood from the bar and made his way to the door, he gave the twins a smile and a head-jerk, indicating he wanted them to join him. "Come on, I promised I'd show you two my motorcycle anyways. And there's something I want to tell you."
A lie, well about his promise anyways, but from the meaningful way his eyes never left theirs, never even budged, it was clear he intended to fill them in on the reason he was being so awkward. His eyes had not missed the way Ene had subtlety given away her curiosity. Indeed, he'd caught it as easily as if he'd been inches away from her One extra perk of the Eagle Eye. As he extended his hands to them, he gave a look to Kuro and said lowly so as to be inaudible to his dad, "He's only loud when he talks and with me not sitting next to him, he'll be too busy watering himself to say anything at all," fully aware of the way those three had been silently reacting. After so many years of enduring his father's public behavior, he could read the reactions to it without ever needing to see them.

------------------------------------------------------------------- ◈◈Age : 19◈◈Gender : Female◈◈Mood : Must Hug Ene - Chan ~<3 ◈◈Partner : Kuro (Kiddo ~<3) , Ene (chan ~<3) ◈◈Status : Single◈◈ -------------------------------------------------------------------
As the conversation was developing, the more the brunette wished to be back in her bed. She didn't knew who the archer family was, perhaps her parents at some point would, but due to her careless life she might as well paid no attention when they mentioned them in her early childhood, still the more she heard Lance's dad, the more she wanted to depart.
-❝ Ene chan, let's... ❞-
Just as she was about to suggest for them to leave she witnessed something she wasn't sure if unexpected or completely understandable at all. Ene had shown interest in Lance which made her wonder if her previous accusation at Ene was actually accurate upon her having developed a crush. Regardless of the reason, there was something in Ene's eyes which intimidated her, making her loosen her hug while keeping her thoughts to herself.
-❝ What's happening here? ... Kuro kun too? ❞-
She thought while noticing how Kuro was switching views between the father and son reunion and Ene every now and then. The more she looked around it, the more she was convinced she was the only one not interested in this little chatter of a drunk man. She started feeling uncomfortable about it and was about to call the restroom card to get out by herself when she happened to realize what her partner's had provably figured out earlier. Despise all the ruckus on Lance's table, he wasn't comfortable either but was enduring it, even more, there was a reason why he even asked them to stay later on.
-❝ Oh I get it. He set him up on a foreign terrain where his dad has no authority to soften an impact... good call kiddo... ❞-
The brunette would then pick up a mint and place it inside her lips while joining the spectator's table seeing where this was going. When she suddenly chuckled, watching Lance with an amused yet devious gaze.
-❝ Either mr nice guy here is going to tell pops here he crashed the car or is about to tell him he's gonna be a grandpa soon. ❞-
Far form reality at all, at the very least she could figure the set up tactic. It wasn't much of a secret for Misty had pulled that card at times when she was younger. None the less, within her thoughts, upon reflecting it over and over again the funnier these whole situation looked for her, as she litterally seemed to be the only one enjoying Archer Sir's conversation at all, with a wide grin, and nodding every now and then at his accusations or scoldings.
-❝ You are sooo busted pretty boy. ❞-
Replied in her mind as she was pretty much enjoying all this all of a sudden, and no one better than Kuro could tell this, after all he knew how much she liked drama as she spend too much time in TV novels or written novels back then. Even more, as soon as Lance invited them out she was the first to step in.
-❝ Oh it was about time. I was wondering when I could see that piece of art in person. ❞-
She said grinning widely before passing Jack, not before turning next to him to greet him first.
-❝ Misty Taw sir, please to meet you, hope you don't mind I borrow your son for a bit. But I to believe you are both men of honor and he has to keep his word, but don't worry I will return him safely back here, even if I have to drag him myself. There's no way I would let him ran away from this. So please rest assured and have another bottle... Bet you could easily empty a whole bar filled with shots in about a minute or so. ❞-
As she "greeted" the legend, she was off to pick prince charming in distress to be ready to "check the bike" not actually minding if she was embarrassing him in front of his dad, in fact, the more humiliating this could be, the better for her never ending drama hunger. Now awaiting for the time for them to step outside and hear the gossip recently cooked from Lance's lips.
Kuro Rei Partner(s):Misty and Ene Kuro saw the whole scene play out and it only bored him thinking that Lance is trying to get his father drunk, This bores me Kuro said as he stood up from the bar leaving some money to pay for his meal and a tip for the cook. Are we just going to wait here and waste our whole day? Kuro said seeing the clock and noticing its been 2 hours that has past
"Aye. I'm...not from DWMA. Not yet. More accurately I'm going to be from there in a couple days. Name's Lance Archer." he said his name as if he wished it wasn't his. Funny story, this was in fact the case. As he took one of the two sake cups and drained its contents, he filled it back up and for a moment gave the other three a good old-fashioned once over.
