joke_oShopping Trip
There were very few times when Kyoko wandered the city on her own, but shopping would occasionally be one of the few excuses she'd take to get out and about on her own. Of course, just because she wasn't actively looking for trouble didn't mean trouble didn't find her. Just the fact that she was so close with the city's two self-appointed 'protectors' made her a target for all kinds of miscreants and punks trying to get at them through her. Today was no different as a whole mess of bodies were strewn about outside a jewelry shop, all groaning and clutching various parts of their bodies when an annoyed looking Kyoko came out of the shop. At the sight of her, those that could still stand scrambled to their feet and beat a hasty retreat as she shoved her hands in her jacket's pockets.
"Ugh, Misako, why do you have to be so hard to shop for!? Doesn't seem like anyplace has anything in your style!"
Food Court
It had been a very long day, made all the longer by the constant interruptions on her errands by the higher than normal number of people looking to get a piece of her. She started her trip early in the morning but now the sun was threatening to set. While she didn't appear injured, a full day's worth of fighting had sure taken its toll on her. Her hair was disheveled, her jacket had been removed, arms tied around her waist, and the tell tale glisten of sweat from the many fights just made her already tired face look even more tired. Thankfully, food was never hard to come by in the city, and she was desperate for some refueling. After ordering some takoyaki from a street vendor and getting some water, she slumps into the first available chair in the patio area nearby, not even bothering to look if anyone was sitting across from her until after she'd already taken the seat. She takes a minute to catch her breath before saying anything.
"Sorry, didn't see you there. If you're waiting for someone I can find somewhere else..."
Return Trip
Days very rarely end when the sun goes down for Kyoko. If anything, night seemed to always be when Kyoko caught her second wind. Which was a good thing, considering night was when the city's more serious threats tended to come out, and even once safe streets would become hazardous as civilians would start to get caught up in the chaos as muggers joined the fray, and the yakuza elements began to work more openly. Of course, for Kyoko that only meant more people to beat up while letting her get to be a hero at the same time. Well, on the nights she wasn't doing her own more harmless crimes by sneaking into a school to steal a basketball hoop. Regardless, tonight was a dark one as cloud cover made the only real lighting in some of the more residential areas spotty, only the sparse street lights illuminating small pockets. However, even as muggers and other criminals were emboldened by such lighting, they too had to look over their shoulders or one of Kyoko's friends were likely to jump them. For now though, one ill fated mugger would have their crime interrupted as Kyoko launches herself from the shadows, planting both of her feet squarely on the jaw of the would be attacker and launching him a few feet. Thankfully for everyone involved the mugger took that as a risk they didn't want any part of and ran off into the shadows as Kyoko picked herself up off the ground.
"You okay? You don't really need to worry about that guy, he's unfortunately a regular around here, but he knows not to mess with me or my friends. If you want though, I'd be happy to walk you wherever you were going."
