A reasonably large house with a few different bedrooms, an attic and a basement.
Recently purchased by Naomi, also serves as a residence for her closer allies.

Naomi and Yuzu
"I must admit, it's rather nice having someone else keep me company." Namoi said, sitting at a dining room table with a cup of green tea in front of her. Yuzu let out a light sigh, "Company ain't exactly what I was hired for..." Naomi let out a laugh, slightly covering her mouth, "Be that as it may, isn't this nicer than fighting some thug out on the street?" Yuzu gave a small shrug and shook her head, "I guess you're right, but from looking at you, and going by who hired me, you don't seem the kind of person who needs a bodyguard." Naomi smiled mischievously, "Is that so~? Keep in mind, my dear Yuzu, if you weren't a friend of Titus, you'd be lucky if I would even talk to you." Yuzu sighed again, this time heavier, "I know, I know!" She shot a glance over to the side, "Even if you didn't, you wouldn't exactly be the only one..." "Fufufufu~" This was going to be a long day.

 KimikoKimiko lightly tossed a dagger up and down, not looking at it but having no apparent difficulty catching it by either the handle or the blade. "Well, Titus likes you." the assassin said, adding another knife to what she was doing. It wasn't long before she was juggling an entire set of them, looking completely bored the whole time. "But then, he's always had a soft spot for people that work hard." She'd known him for quite a long time, and he'd always been just a bit too decent for the family (despite the amount of blood on his hands - he was far from a saint).

Naomi and Yuzu "Yes yes." Naomi agreed, nodding her head, "Titus wouldn't have asked you to do this if he didn't think you'd follow through, but you're free to leave if you're bored." "Hey now." Yuzu retorted, "I'm a woman of my word, I ain't got any intention of ditching a contract that's been paid already." Naomi chucked again, "Well, you're a diligent one, aren't you? I like that." "The only contracts I've ever ditched were ones my employer lied about, and a few of the worst ones are dead because of it." She cast her gaze down slightly, clenching her fist. "A woman with some blood on her hands... Fufufufu~..." Naomi's smile became slightly dark, "I don't suppose you intend on killing any of us, do you?" Her tone darkened, too, it was as if she was deriving enjoyment from Yuzu's words. Yuzu slowly shook her head, "I've seen the company you keep, and I've seen two of them in action. You don't live as long as I have in my line of work without picking your battles." Naomi quickly returned to normal, "And you know your limits. Fufu~ It's settled then, I think we're going to get along fine." "That's good to know. Regardless, it's not like Titus lied about this job, so I don't think we'll have any problems." Yuzu wouldn't lie, the way Naomi had spoken just a moment ago made her feel uneasy. "And besides, I don't have any issues spending more time with you guys. It'd be a nice change from my usual company. Al was fine, but for someone like Yuzu, she became very tiring very quickly some days.

Naomi and Yuzu Evening had fallen, and Yuzu was just returning from a trip back to her own home, "I'm back." She stepped through the door holding a handful of bags, glass could be heard clinking together as she walked. "Welcome back. Did you get everything alright on your own?" Naomi inquired, looking up from a book. "No problem." She lifted the bags and placed them all on the kitchen bench, before removing a series of glass bottles from within. Several bottles of wine, sake, tequila and two unlabeled bottles filled with a clear spirit. "Pick your poison, it's all open." Yuzu ducked under the bench before coming back up with an armful of glasses of varying sizes.
"Oh Kimiko, my dear~ Yuzu is back." You never really knew someone until you got drunk together. Not very ladylike, certainly, but Naomi had lived enough years to know that such things mattered very little in the grand scale. For tonight, they would drink.

KimikoThe quiet girl peeked into the room, then quickly made her way over to the bottles and began poking through them, interested in what Yuzu had brought back. A moment later, she'd grabbed two larger bottles and a glass to start mixing drinks in. "...Good selection." she observed tonelessly, crouching down as she started pouring so she could get a better view. "...Naomi, want some?"

Naomi and Yuzu "Of course!" Naomi said with a smile, "Fufufu~ I would never had suggested it if I didn't intend to drink."
Yuzu nodded at Kimiko, unscrewing the lid on one of the clear bottles, "If you want something stronger, give this a try." She swiftly poured some of the strong-smelling spirit into a shot glass, before picking it up and knocking it back. "It's been a long time since I've been able to drink with company."
Naomi chukcled again, "My~ Then I think you'll enjoy the evening."

KimikoKimiko barely seemed to be looking as she fetched a number of other ingredients and started making what could actually be referred to as an alchemist's brew. She'd never really been the type to settle for a basic drink unless she was flirting at the bar - you could do so many other things, and it wasn't long before she slid a drink down the bar and towards Naomi. "Don't try to keep up." she advised Yuzu. "We process alcohol quickly - so we have to drink a lot to get drunk." She was already working on her own drink, humming as she mixed it together.

Naomi and Yuzu "I ain't a lightweight, but I'll keep that in mind." Yuzu said pouring another shot and drinking it. Naomi took the drink as it reached her and took a sip, before smiling, "Just a warning for your own health, Yuzu." She sat down on a chair near the bench, and threw one of her legs over the other. "We want to drink you under the table. Not under the ground. Hmhmhm~" Yuzu cracked a smile, placing the bottle and the shotglass down, and opening a bottle of white wine. "Ha, if you were anyone else, I would have taken that as a challenge. Kimiko! When you're ready, give me the strongest drink you can make."

Kimiko"...Your funeral." Kimiko said, pouring a tiny glass of an exceptionally clear drink. She looked down at it, then back up at Yuzu, then poured the tiny cup into a bigger one and added several large splashes of something that was almost certainly much less alcoholic and much more fruity. Putting away a bottle marked 'Everclear', she slid the glass down towards Yuzu.

Naomi and Yuzu Yuzu caught a glimpse of the bottle, and her smile turned to a smirk. She raised the glass to her lips and took a decent sip, before placing it down and quickly shaking her head, in reaction to the strength of the alcohol, "Whew! You mix one hell of a drink, Kimiko." She lifted the glass once more, looking at it, "I think I can sit on this one for a little while."
Naomi nodded, "It's good to pace yourself." She beckoned to the other two, calling them over, "Come on, you two, let's raise our glasses together." Naomi thought it important to raise your glasses when drinking with friends.

KimikoKimiko lifted her glass slightly, following Naomi's lead, though she was personally much more of a 'just drink it down' kind of girl. This had gotten her lambasted on many occasions, mostly by people who were trying to turn the night into an "experience". On the other hand, that did tend to happen when she got sufficiently drunk - but it would take more than this one drink to get her close to totally smashed. One of the few downsides of being immortal was that you had to keep drinking small stuff in order to get sufficiently drunk for an extended period of time. Of course, that also meant no hangovers... "Practice." she answered succinctly, starting to mix another drink for herself. This one was vividly blue.

Naomi and Yuzu A few hours had passed, and so had quite a bit of alcohol, as Yuzu sat lazily on the couch with her feet propped up on the coffee table, her cheeks a light shade of pink. "-And when they found him, his spine was missing, and the walls were covered with profanity!" As she finished telling a story of her and her sister's travels over the years, she burst into loud, drunken laughter, before finishing the bottle she was drinking from and placing it down.Naomi raised a hand over her mouth as she giggled along with Yuzu's laughter before lightly shaking her head, her cheeks also lightly aflush. "My~ You've certainly had your share of adventures in your short life, haven't you?"Yuzu spoke up without moving her head, "That sure as hell is one way to look at it." She then shook her own head, "I'd call it more of a shitshow than anything, done and seen some crap I ain't proud of, but hey, what's a little PTSD, right?" She smiled in spite of herself, more than anything she was glad to be able to drown her sorrows with someone else for once.

KimikoKimiko continued drinking as she listened to the story, grinning a bit at the loss of a spine. "B'ttr t' be exshited tha' bored. F'r exhample..." she flicked one hand and a knife shot through the air, passing centimeters in front of Naomi's nose before thudding into a target on the opposite wall. "Y'never know when thingsh're gonna... pash by."

Naomi and Yuzu Naomi barely moved as the knife whipped past her face, turning to look at Yuzu, she smiled. "Kimiko is right. A full life is better than an empty life." She was speaking from experience, having lived more than two lives in her time, one dull and one full of adventure.Yuzu silently nodded at Naomi, before she started to giggle. That giggle steadily, but quickly grew into full laughter as she turned to Kimiko "You're so messed up! H-How the hell did you manage to throw like that? I swear, you freaks really are something special."At that moment, Naomi swiftly head-chopped Yuzu, an expression of both mock offense and amusement on her face, "My dear Yuzu, I won't accept inebriation as an excuse for offending your Mistress and her friends."A big grin remained on Yuzu's face, as she laughed again, "Oh? Mistress, is it now? You two gonna tie me up next?"
