Welcome to Gaia! ::

Normally the brunette was pretty good about keeping up with these things.... mainly being when there was some new place in the city to eat at. And the food was good.

She was not a cook... oh she could if she wanted, she just was the kind of person whom would rather take a bag of popcorn and eat it for dinner. Knowing her body she also knew this was not that healthy, so sometimes she would slip out and go to a food eatery of some sort. Nutrition, damn that b*****d. So she was on a quest to get something good to eat tonight... no matter how much a new bag of kettle corn was calling out to her.

Moving in to the diner, a bell chimed behind her. Looking around, she figured this being what...appeared to be a mom and pop place, she moved to sit at one of the taller tables. She liked bar stools, she had no issues climbing into one and grabbing for the Menu. Swinging her feet almost absent minded, the pink eyes woman eyed the paper-with-text she now held... and couldn't help but watch with the corner of her eye.

First rule of a predator- always watch your surroundings. Though she was half distracted. Almost like a bird who sleeps with one eye open....

"Sweet tea with lemon." Was called back, pink eyes flicking to the other girl, glancing her up and down for a moment. It was human nature to judge a few things when first meeting someone. Even if we try not to, or deny it, you cant help it. Its involuntary. What Toki pulled from her was: Short, Purple hair, cute.

She was unsure about the last part, but it was involuntary. She would say the same of some people she even passed by down the street... so the brunette just shrugged it off. Why deny what he instincts say? Randomly, upon further inspection... she couldn't help but feel as if she knew this girl.

"What is the soup today?" She noticed a little soup of the day thign on the menu, normally she asked anyways what it was even if she didn't order it.

Ew, chicken noodle. She much preferred chicken and rice or possibly that chicken and taco chips one.

"Wont be necessary." She said with a wave of her hand. With her other she set the menu back down where she had found it, turned a head and looked up at Ashley. "Chicken salad sandwich, tomatoes on top, no pickle on the side please." Why waste food she wouldn't eat? She liked pickles, but on things not by themselves.

Quirking an eyebrow, she watched the waitress. Rude as Toki might be, she was trying her best to be nice... the purple haired girl hadn't ******** up.

Yet.

Once the girl left, Toki drew up a breath and exhaled it slowly through her clenched teeth. Why had that damn girl seemed so..familiar? Usually people didnt get under her skin. Usually her memory was better. Oh that was a guy from my school. Oh thats my neighbor. Oh that dude walks a dog i just want to kick like a football.

Things like that.

But no, THIS one was ringing a bell on a entirely different level. One that was not super rememberable. Maybe Toki was going insane. All the same, when the girl returned next, with drink food or both, she would ask "Do i know you?"

She grabbed at the drink, thirsty, and drank a few sips as she intently listened to the girl. "No, i didn't go to meadowview." She said a moment after pushing the drink away. "I went to crystal.... rich b***h school if you asked me." To many pretty pretty princesses all too happy to spend money on those shoes.... she did not really care, she also liked pretty things. It was their attitudes that always ate at her.

"Always had something shoved too far where the sun dont shine if you ask me." When they stole star seeds, she took out a few crystal girls just for her own happiness. Call it cruel, she called it justice.

After her sandwich had arrived, she took half of it and shoved the plate with the second half towards the girl "Sit, Eat, its good... and." Pink eyes glanced around the room. "Looks like your slow now anyways. Ill tell your boss i was keeping you hostage if he asks." A smile drew on her lips as she took a second bite of her half.

"You ever visit a horse farm outside of town?" Toki worked there on the weekends, maybe she saw her there.

She couldnt help but laugh, something that was slightly chiming as it rang around the room. "Girl do you think ide be here if i knew how to cook? Im more of a popcorn and TV dinner kind of person. Sometimes eating out." She gestured at the place they were sitting at. "But no, its not that i cant cook, just not good at it."

"Mm... " She took another bite of the sandwich, turning back the conversation a little. "You really did not miss much honestly. I was only in the school because my family insisted i be raised as a ....'proper lady'." To make a sarcastic point, she wove her fingers together and placed them under her chin, and blinked her eyelashes in a mocking way. "Feh." She unwove her hands and toop a sip of her drink. " I could ballroom dance, laugh air headedly, or know the different types of forks in a restaurant like the best of them... but its not who i am." For her first year or two in crystal, she was fake. Playing along. Had fake friends, gave fake smiles. In her last two years... she just stopped caring.

She didn't understand why she just said all that, but sometimes it was easier talking to a total stranger... or was she?

"Im guessing you know how to cook then, Maybe i saw you in another restaurant somewhere..?" or a bar. She went to bars too even if underaged. Maybe they saw each other just walking around.

A small smile was the first sign of amusement, quickly turned into a few chuckles and a shaking of her head. It was rare Toki found someone whom amused her so much. The humor met her eyes, turning them to molten candy pink. "That sorry excuse for a soccer team was always recruiting members. I think they just barely met the enrollment total. Not surprising, being as most of the girls at crystal for cry and run in fear at the idea of dirt under their nails." Let alone wearing shorts, god forbid!

Leaning back in her chair she folded her arms, clearly examining the other female a little more closely. "A name for a name?" Toki liked trades, so far they had been trading information anyways. It was one reason why she was on Veritas.

"Its a wonder i could forget where i saw someone like you. Almost as if it was magic clouding my mind." She waited then -- wanting to get the others name first.

"Toki." She replied with a knowing look. "...And no i was not named after that japanese brand Toki Doki, though they do have some cute things and i like the name." She grinned, of course she would like the name.

It was, afterall, HER name.

"Pleasure, though. Even if we can seem to remember where we saw each other last... i guess this is good enough a starting point right?" She took a last sip of her drink, and set it down.

"We should meet up again sometime." One knee was crossed over the other. Toki was mostly curious as to WHY she knew this woman from somewhere, but the fact of the matter was.... the brunette also found her attractive.
