Hitting the Bar (Yama/Shizu/Nikki)

[Ken Shirogane]

Yama heard the explanation that Shizu gave of Menos Grande. It was interesting, but didn’t really change anything for Yama. They were just tougher and crazier Hollow from the sound of it. Which only left him wondering what it might be like to find one. It sounded like they might be stronger than Shizu as a somewhat new Arrancar, but he imagined Arrancar must have a greater threshold for obtaining power than a simple Menos Grande. Or at least that was his assumption.

“I’m sure Shizu would have told me anything I wanted to know if I asked.” Hell she even told him lots of personal things about her old life before she had become a Hollow, tragic really. She was like a horror movie monster, classic, tragic, horrifying.

And he wasn’t going to forget the way she had tried to bite him last night. It was probably his fault, but it wasn’t a switch he was aware he was going to flip at the time. It would be a while before he attempted to ask for anymore kisses, but he did intend to even if it meant facing her teeth again.

In regard to the kick and the apology, Yama nodded. “I’ve been hit harder than that before, but I’d say it’s sitting somewhere in the lower half of top ten hardest times I’ve ever been kicked.” He mused as he scratched his chin recalling the few times where he fought something stronger than himself and thought he was going to get his head ripped off.

“I don’t appreciate that.” Yama noted to Nikki as he took his drink while she made her little gesture. “I’m not sure what your problem with us is, but you’ve done stuff like that a few times now. Do you have a problem with me trying to make Shizu happy or something? I’ve rarely been in a relationship, but I’m pretty sure it’s a good thing to want to make your partner happy.” That was to say Shizu was his first girlfriend ever, though he wasn’t sure if Shizu wanted to be referred to as his girlfriend yet. He doubted she would have a problem, maybe even be over the moon if he called her that. But on the other hand he was a little worried about flipping anymore monster switches, especially in public. He’d take that risk later when they were alone first. “I might be an asshole, but I hope you’ve had good relationships. And I hope you wish the same for us.” He suggested simply.

“But if you can’t… Well, I guess we don’t have to be friends. Your place supplies work hunting Hollow and that’s good enough for me. We can just keep things professional.” He said trying to be neutral about it, not usually a sensitive guy, though he imagined the more he grew to like Shizu the more these small disparaging gestures would come to annoy him. Generally speaking he was usually a man of slim tolerance to people who insulted him, at least if the insult was good enough to make an impact. And he imagined that tolerance was even more slim when he considered people who might insult Shizu.

He was also tempted to tell Shizu not to share her personal life before she was a Hollow with Nikki given her half hostile response to the question of herself, but he left the choice up to Shizu in the end. If she was generous enough to share her history with Nikki despite the hostility she faced she was a bigger person than Yama was in that sense. But he would not blame her if she took the petty route either.

Much to the meek monster’s dismay, the buxom brawler still seemed to hold some sort of grudge. She quietly wondered if it was because she had eaten her friend... Would it help if she apologized again? Worth a shot. “Um... F-for what it is worth, I am also sorry for eating people... Some of whom you may have liked...” She was completely sincere.

Fortunately, Yama was ready to defend Shizu. ...Which kept surprising the latter. She had never had a human speak on her behalf. Most people wanted nothing to do with her. It was enough to paint a pink blush on her features. She kept her head down, trying to avoid the imaginary sparks flying between the two bikers.

Despite the lingering hostility, the Arrancar didn’t wish to withhold any information. “In a manner of speaking, yes... Details are lost to the fog of time, but... I recall vivid glimpses...” She gazed wistfully into her half-empty tumbler. “My name is long gone. Mostly, I remember the sickness that left me bedridden. The loneliness. The nightmares and daydreams.” She reminisced solemnly.

“Most of all, I remember... Him.”

Shizu took a sip to ease her dry throat. Her voice remained scratchy though. “He was the most charming and handsome man in the world... Ah, I recall how he promised me the moon and the stars...” A small smile played on her lips, before withering like a flower in the cold. “Then, he stole my first kiss... And my life...” Her hand drifted to her chest, where the hole was beneath the clothing. “He left me with this eternal emptiness... This hunger...”

I bet you love a girl who can kick your ass, right~?

Nikki Nakajima

“It's… Just not my way? All that googly eyes and sugar sweet stuff?” The brawling brunette never in a million years about to admit that perhaps her dislike for their displays was fuelled in some small part by a sense of envy, instead she focused upon the fact that the whole thing seemed to disagree with her own approach to courtship, which was admittedly a whole lot less flush with romance and cuddly snugglies than what she saw before her.
“When I get with a guy, or a gal for that matter, I like it hot, heavy, hard… Not clingy though? All that sickly stickiness… Eyuck! Just no. No, no. You can do what you want on your own time, but on mine… I don't want it rubbed in my face? So yeah, 'professional' might be better when it comes to matters of the heart?” Pushing her hand back through her hair as she embarked upon an explanation which might have included too excessive a degree of information in some areas, she intended to neither tantalize with the details of her own preferences or denounce with her disdain for theirs, she confirmed that she would have preferred not to have such habits thrust before her like the pair were doing now, and likely would have found them both more agreeable if they weren't giving her so many chances to take offense at them.

“Wow… Never expected to get a hollow apologizing to me…?” The softening of her attitude seeming to also provide the buxom bar owner with a greater chance to connect with her fellow femme as well, while her gut response to this meek monster offering up an apology was one which would have happily had her see such words tossed back in the face of this fiendish femme, since the pair were at least trying to make an effort to seem civil to her Miss Nakajima opted to do the same and instead reflected on her surprise that she would do such a thing.
“Maybe there is something different about you, uh… What was your name again?” Therein at least finding some superficial differences between this darkly clad diva and the more commonplace malevolence which tried to pray on souls around here, the scarlet eyed siren sagged with a sigh for a second as she acknowledged that fact, and with that lamented the fact that she couldn't for the life of her think what the lass called herself.

“Damn… That's…” The revulsion which the raven had felt for her more shapely subject also not barring her from feeling a note of empathy either as she described the memories she recalled, the details she unleashed seemed to hit far too close to home for Nikki who immediately seemed to see an overlay of Hina upon even this savage soul as she described herself being weak and taken advantage of by what sounded like an all too familiar character, and her gaze seemed to grow fierier as a shiver ran up her spine as a result.
“Did you get him? That bastard who… Did this to ya? Did you make him pay?” Squeezing her fist into a tight ball as she felt such overlap overwhelm her for a second and make her want to lash out and hit something, in the light of the condemning curse which was cast upon even this wretch she couldn't help but feel that sleeping spirit of vengeance within her seem to stir, and she hoped that the girl had settled the matter for that reason…

Yama could not help but snort and laugh a little at the explanation that Nikki gave concerning her view of relationships and how she liked them. "Sure, sure, I get it. Shizu is very different from you, and she is clingy, but I don't mind that about her." He said finishing his drink with another few gulps sighing. "Anyway, don't worry about it then, we'll try to keep anything too touchy-feely to a minimum while we are around you I guess. Or at least I will. Since it seems to bother you so much. I'll keep things professional on my end." He said simply without much concern beyond that. He'd shared his thoughts so that was all there was to it. And she'd shared her own feelings. That being the case that was how he would handle things from now on, whether Shizu was here or not he intended to keep a professional atmosphere after tonight.

He listened to Shizu having heard most of her story concerning "Before She Was a Hollow". but also to the music playing since it had started the next song. Which was A Little Less Conversation (Official JXL Remix). The original Elvis song was good, but he did like the remix a bit more. It didn't really fit the whole tragic story Shizu was sharing, but at least it wasn't that loud.

"Fill me up again when you get the chance." He said to Nikki tapping his glass idly and listening half an ear. But this was more or less just the conversation for Shizu and Nikki now. He wasn't really sure what other questions he should be asking, nothing else in particular came to mind. So he supposed he'd just have a second drink, finish listening to the music, and then he and Shizu could look at some of the jobs available before they got going. At least they didn't find another important topic that Nikki could give them some information about. But now they more or less knew how Hollow worked, and Wueko Mundo, which was more or less all Yama intended to come here for.

It was strange to receive any sympathy from someone who had previously threatened violence. Still, Shizu graciously accepted any morsel of mercy she could get. She was not in this world to make enemies. “Shizu... My name is Shizu...” She answered carefully, trying not to stutter. Once, a Hollow had mockingly called her S-s-s-shizu after a particularly disastrous introduction. ...Well, she had eaten the bully afterwards, but it still hurt back then.

By now, all the ‘bad girl energy’ had drained from the gloomy goth. She merely hung her head in quiet shame. “No... I... never found him...” Her shoulders sagged with a solemn sigh. “It feels as if he had disappeared from the world...” It had never occurred to her that a man like that might not necessarily be human anymore. Or even in the land of the living for that matter.

Suddenly, the eerie girl grabbed her tumbler and downed the rest in one swig. She set it down and pushed it back to the bartender. “M-more, please...” She was already starting to sway a little. Any savvy drinker could see that she was a real lightweight. Letting her drink was a terrible idea.

Oh and speaking of terrible ideas...

Shizu turned to her partner and tried to find her smile. “Hey, d-dar, er, I mean, Yama...” After an awkward pause, she settled for a stiff, unsettling grin. “D-do you truly wish to visit the eternal desert...? And walk under the dead sky...?” She asked, leaning sloppily closer. “B-because I can take you there... I can open a path between the realms... R-right here and now, i-if you so desire...” Sure. Take the defenseless human into a realm of monsters. What could possibly go wrong?

Nikki Nakajima

“I'd definitely appreciate that, lovebirds~?” Sighing heavily and seeming to be slowly working her way toward a sense of peace and acceptance with the pair, while it was true she'd likely always have her suspicions about the dark damsel especially, the spicy siren at least appreciated the step toward consideration all the same.
“Shizu, huh? Shit, that's a hell of a lot better than 'Firebelcher' or 'Fishgutter'. The amount of Hollows with total ass names that have stepped up wanting to take me down… Ya couldn't give guys like that the satisfaction, right?” Raising her brow at the name when her frenemy revealed it, Nikki couldn't help but snicker at the stupid things which she remembered the Hollows calling themselves, and pushed her hair back as she tossed a few choice options around with comparative disapproval.

“Shame… Bastards like that always seem to worm away from it.” Bringing the bottle to the bar and topping both their drinks this time without even a thought of the charge for them, even if Yama laid out some bills to repay her she would ignore it now that she felt that little bit happier in the company of the gloomy girl, and more focused on her story anyway to worry about the small stuff such as payment for her business.
“Tell me what he looked like, and I'll keep an eye out…?” All too clearly seeming to see more parallels between this girl and the one she had lost way back when, though she forced herself to be reminded that this was not the innocent ingenue known as Hina she still felt that note of sympathy, as well as a grudge toward any man who made a woman suffer to boot. One she would take up, if given the chance.

“Shiiiiiiit, I mean it's your funeral if you wanna go but… If I can handle you each of ya even without my zanpakuto, then you might end up as Menos Chum?” shrugging however as Shizu suggested them departing right here and now to the land of the damned, she waved away such a notion in an effort to dissuade them and in doing so even let slip a little reference to her true status, though did not appear to realise the clue she had given them at the time.
“Buuuuut, if you wanna get stronger, I might have a crash course for you~?” Walking over to the wall where she keeps her bounty board and pulling out some papers which were hidden, she thumbs through a bunch of targets she had made with far higher prices on their heads than the ones she displays, then waves them about as she contemplates giving the pair a little test for their future endeavours…

Yama had no idea what a Zanpakuto was supposed to be or mean, but the suggestion that Nikki had "handled" the both of them had Yama narrow his eye. Surely she didn't think that he'd been beaten with a single kick? It was just a rare situation where he hadn't come back at her swinging. But the idea that she considered it her win made him want to put her through a wall in an instant...

He lifted his drink and gulped it down. Considering if he wanted to do anything, but then hearing her suggestion eased his fury if only slightly by piquing his interest instead.

"Hm. I'd still like to go, but just not at this moment, Shizu. We can go any time, right? So there is no rush. If we decide we want to go after we are done here at the bar, we can, but I want to hear what Nikki has to suggest when it comes to getting stronger. Frankly, it seems to me that just going to Weuco Mundo and fighting an endless tide of Hollow would be a quick way to get stronger, but if Nikki has a better suggestion then it would not hurt to hear her out." Yama said to both ladies with a little shrug, figuring that if Nikki thought he would be easily picking for this Menos thing then maybe he should try to step his game up at least a little bit since Nikki seemed to have more experience with this sort of thing at least.

Shizu flinched, when the brawling bartender mentioned Firebelcher and Fishgutter. “O-oh, y-you meant my Hollow name...? S-sorry... I... misunderstood...” She feared she had just committed a terrible, terrible faux pas by using her former mortal name. Hopefully the mortals weren’t too offended by the blunder...

Still, the gloomy goth hurried to correct herself. “M-my Hollow name is Banshee...” She lowered her gaze and twiddled her fingers together. “B-because I cry... A lot...” Not all nicknames were born from fearsome feats or even good intentions. Her title came from bullies, who had found her excessive screaming funny. ...Buuut they had found the following Ceros less funny. Nevertheless, the name stuck.

A spark of hope flashed in the eerie Arrancar’s eyes, as the kind soul offered to look for the lost lover. “Oh, t-thank you...! He was taller than me, rugged and handsome... Luscious blonde locks... A-and his eyes were this beautiful chestnut brown...” She rattled off, sounding more like she was describing a dating profile than a murderer.

Snapping out of the thoughts, the embarrassed ghoul glanced at her partner. “Hm...? O-oh...! G-go there. S-stronger, yes, p-please, a-anytime.” She stammered, unsure what exactly she agreed to just now. But she definitely agreed. She would give him anything he ever wanted...

However, a peculiar term from earlier had left an echo in Shizu’s ears. “Zan... paku... to...?” She murmured, still mulling it over. It tugged at a fond memory of a young man making a bombastic declaration. Lost in thought, she reached down her top. Defying several laws of physics, she pulled a short, black sword from her cleavage and set it down. “Um, is this a zanpakuto?” She asked, genuinely oblivious of the actual faux passes she’d just committed.

Nikki Nakajima

“Huh. Never thought they had… other names?” The disarmament of the discontent seeming to breed a strange kind of camaraderie between the former Shinigami and the former hollow, perhaps it was the fact that they were both far older than their alluring appearances could have told but whatever it was which seemed to build a fledgling rapport, it did seem useful for Miss Nakajima's curiosity if nothing else.
“Does Shizu come from the time before~?” Recognising at least some manner in the raven that could help to quell the questions that a rather generous lifetime of spook hunting might provide, the nature of her former duties meant that she never had much time to chew the fat as it were with her foes and even less so had them which would prove cooperative if they tried, and so seemed to be presented with a rather unique opportunity therein. If the research division only knew, hm?

“These guys aren't jokes. They've been around quite a few years, usually ones I save for myself to take down… Most of those who do these jobs are kids who're just getting the hang of their gifts, so I like to give em a lil something for taking out nuisances~?” Laying out the collection of admittedly poorly sketched monsters as the two seemed to show interest in her proposal, Nikki offered a better explanation for her bounty system as she presented several leaves of figures with absurd names but varying number of skulls below their image were presented to the pair, along with some notes about where they typically seemed to be seen or their common targets as well.
“Don't seem right sending them after the real nasty ones though~? Fortunately, I'm a lot more comfortable handing them over to cannon fodder like you~! If you' wanna try throwing your life away, might as well clean up the neighbourhood a bit first? Sides, if you best these, maybe you'll have a chance against something with a bit of clout in Mundo?” Ultimately coming up with the scheme both as a means of pest control and a way through which those chicks she took under her wing could test and improve themselves, even this rowdy and often reckless figure showed a greater concern toward those younger and more innocent than she, and as such offered their prizes to those who were more expendable, or at the very least mature enough to know what they were in for.

“That'd be the thing…” Leaving the pages of the damned as she called them for a moment however as her new frenemy seemed to present an item which was familiar to her for two reasons, not only did she know what it was from the wound she had received from it none too long ago, but as much for the fact that she was also aware of how a woman of Shizu's ilk would only be possible with the acquisition of such an item.
“You learned how to release it, yet?” Left with mixed feelings when she considered the latter and as such feeling herself stiffen and try to restrain the rage bubbling beneath her surface about the sacrifice which had gifted this girl with the item, Miss Nakajima instead asked about the functionality of the femme when it came to her weapon and her new manner of being, partly in an effort to focus on something other than the loss of a former friend but also out of genuine curiosity too. I mean, she never had seen an Arrancar let one of these weapons loose, had she…?

Yama was mildly interested as Shizu showed off her sword. After pulling it from the valley of her cleavage. Yama shook his head at the display, a little amazed and slightly aroused. For obvious reasons.

“Zanpakuto… So these weapons are special? Judging from the name it has something to do with cutting souls? And has some kind ability to “release”?” He asked, judging from her words and description a bit before looking at the papers she put down with a hum, trying to see the details she had on each of her bounties.

“Maybe you should test us to see what we can handle. I have no idea what these symbols mean beyond being a threat level. But I don’t know what would be good for use. I want something that can kick my ass without killing me.” He chuckled at what he felt like would be a tall order.

Honestly, Shizu wasn’t used to chatting. At all. It was rare, getting a chance to talk without hostility. Most talks with her, erm, peers started with death threats and ended with a Cero. That’s why she was rather eager to share. “Y-yes... It is the only thing I truly recall...” She confirmed.

The sketches sparked some vague memories in the grim ghoul. “Ah, I think I may have seen these ones before...” She muttered, more than a little unsure. Her memory had never been the best. Often she only recalled things that had scared her... Which meant it was pretty bad, if she could remember these ones...

Eager to latch onto any other topic than scary opponents, the Arrancar focused on her blade instead. “Release...?” She echoed the odd word choice while slowly unsheathing the blade. The mention of an ability jogged her memories. “Ah, s-so that’s what the young man did... He, uh, held it like this and spoke some sort of command... And the blade transformed...” She explained. However, something nagged at her.

“B-but why did he call it by the wrong name...?”

Shizu stared intently at her reflection on the blade’s surface. The reflection stared back. Yes, release me. It suddenly demanded. She flinched at the voice ringing inside her skull. “I-I don’t know how...” Her reflection flashed a smile full of teeth. Just say it. “S-say what...?” She hesitated. Something felt familiar.

Say my name.

Falling deathly silent, the grim ghost suddenly pointed the blade at the bartender. Her gaze was hollow, like she was in some sort of trance. The sounds of the surrounding world didn’t reach her. A dark command crawled from the depths of her throat.

“Scream... Fantasma.”

...Aaaand nothing happened.

Shizu blinked, snapping back to reality. Looking rather puzzled, she turned the blade in her hand. “Huh, weird. I... thought that it would do something...” The name was right, somehow she was sure of it. Then... Maybe the command was wrong?

“Shikai, is what we called 'em?” Once more having to play teacher as Captain Yamaha showed just how much of a newb he was through his ignorance, the buxom barwoman offered up the name of the typical stage of release that the more talented among her former number were capable of, though did hold back the fullness of their power for the sake of confidentiality. Nice to have a trump card, right?
“Not sure if that's what your types do too? Your people tend to make their own names up, right?” As much a cherry as he was in some ways however, Nikki knew that the maskless had the ability to take up the arms and many of the abilities that her one time brethren possessed, though wasn’t well enough acquainted to know how that process worked or even how they seemed to respond to it either. About all she did know was that they called Shunpo something strange.

“Something that can kick your ass without killing you~?” The bearer of the Y chromosome at least seeming to provide her with a note of amusement however as he looked through the bounties she offered and made a rather specific request as to the challenge he faced, Miss Nakajima couldn't help but arch her brow at such a demand, and rested a hand upon her cocked hip as she did so.
“Bwahahaha, that's probably me, if ya catch me in a good mood~!” The lass left to chuckle as she still had every confidence that she could bruise the boy rather readily when offered the right kind of opportunity, she snickered as she boasted of that fact though could not confirm how well she would do with failing to finish him, and attributed such a fact to the feeling of her mood in the moment.

“Huh. …False start, huh?” The pugnacious party pausing however as she noticed their eerie entry only beginning to act that bit stranger by going into an odd trance, instinct commanded Nikki to narrow her gaze and tighten her fist as her former foe looked ready to give a rather live demonstration of her ability, but ultimately only seemed to work toward an anticlimax.
“Probably a good thing, releases can go pretty wild, not exactly something I'd want in my bar?” Glad to see that this uneven character would not be letting loose within her establishment and affirming the fact that she would seek no repeat of such an act while under this roof, all the same she couldn't help but feel a note of disappointment, both for the fact that she didn't garner some clarity for her underlying curiosity and perhaps the chance to test this woman at her best as well…

Yama snorted to Nikki’s light taunting. “I’m always up for a good fight. Only one way to see if you can really kick my ass like you seem to think you can. I’d be glad to show you what I can do and see what you can handle.” He offered simply. He knew she could kick at least, and with quite a bit of strength and grace. But she had not been fighting him, not really. He had not even fought with Shizu either. The closest they got to a fight was last night when she’d tried to bite him. But unlike Nikki he wasn’t really interested in hurting Shizu. Not that Shizu was weak exactly, but more that his interest in her conflicted with his desire to fight her. It was just too confusing.

He listened as Shizu attempted to call out the name of her blade, half worried she’d become the toothy monster she did last night. Though the thought also made him frown. Could he at least think that aspect of her was monstrous? Shizu herself generally was a soft person in his estimation. Though she did have moments of sharp intensity hinting to what he imagined was the more brutal hungry aspect of her inner Hollow. But that was just a guess.

The creepy girl turned the blade in her grasp. “Cry...?” She suggested cautiously. “Devour...?” She tried. The blade didn’t react. Even her reflection remained silent, staring back with her own, fearful eyes. So close, yet so far...

Shizu let the matter be for now, though shared similar silent disappointment. Some part of her wanted to be released, to be unchained once again. She could feel it like a pang of hunger gnawing at her insides. It was that very same sensation she also feared. She glanced at the young man sitting next to her. If she did release it right now... She wasn’t sure if she could stop herself.

But... Maybe then she could have given her fight-loving partner the challenge he so craved...?

Pushing the thought aside, the gloomy goth slipped her blade down her personal pocket and returned to sipping her drink. This entire time, one word choice from earlier had been bugging her. What was it now? ‘Your types’? No, no, that was normal. Humans and hunters called her that all the time. It was something about the way the bartender explained that... Shikai thing... Then, it hit her.

‘...Shikai, is what we called 'em?...’

Shizu stared at her drink pensively. “We...?” She mumbled softly, repeating the peculiar word. As the realization sank in, the puzzle pieces began falling into place. Bits and pieces of the conversation echoed in her mind. The oddly specific knowledge about Menos Grande, the insistence about secrecy, the mention of Zanpakuto and finally this latest revelation about Shikai... And... And...

And she finally understood.

Suddenly, the eerie Arrancar scooched close to the biker and hooked her arm around his. “W-we should go...” She locked her unblinking stare on the bartender. “This s-shameless hussy... is not a human...” Her hostile aura began to seep out again, bringing quiet, creeping dread to the weak-minded. “A-and I am not just saying that because I am jealous o-or threatened by her f-f-f-flirting...!” She insisted.

“Ahahahaa! Well, I know a gym where I train a few of the kids who need it…” The scarlet eyed siren smirking as the biker made a crack which seemed to amount to him being very willing to give as good as he got, Miss Nakajima couldn't help but chuckle and grin with a fresh fire in her eyes, and perhaps other places as well for that matter.
“I can give you the address if you ever feel like you want that hide black and blue~?” In some ways finding that she could be just as engaged and excited in certain ways by an exchange of fists as she was any kind of verbal back and forth, the fact that they might be able to trade a few blows and work up a sweat together was something which thrilled her in all sorts of ways, and as such she couldn't help but show a certain eagerness for the prospect.

Did I say too much…? The raven realizing that she might just have let herself get carried away however when she recognised the signs of a certain penny dropping in the air, the urgency which she showed to leave the place seemed to inspire a certain sense of guilt for the implication she had given, which Nikki hadn't exactly expected and seemed to regret in this new light.
“Hold your horses, Shug- Shizu.” For that reason the fox following after her fellow femme and hoping to stop them from making too swift an exit, though she seemed to show a momentary regression in how she treated the lass she made an effort to correct it, and made sure that she stalled the dup before she got too far.

“I might have the powers, and fight hollows, but ain't that anymore, so I guess we're in a similar position?” Leaning in that bit closer to the girl and feeling a sense of distaste for the assumption which had been made of her based on what she guessed was Shizu's understanding of the 'breed' she previously represented, the bad taste which lingered within the mouth of Miss Nakajima when it came to her origins showed as much of a rejection of those self-righteous reapers as anything else and a desire to separate herself from them, which seemed to strike a chord of commonality betwixt their pairing.
“You show me you're better than some monster, and I'll show you I'm better than those bastards in black?” For that reason feeling even worse for seeing this girl for a mere feaster of souls when she said she was trying to be more than that, though they were doing this for different reasons the fact that they had broken away from 'type' was a simple fact they shared, and so the belligerent bar owner decided it was only right she gave her a chance to prove that she too was better than the place she came from…
