Hamaguchi
Only the sound of people on the street was heard in the small store of the florist, a wonderful smell of mixed flowers could be smelled through the entire store. Hundreds of flowers sitting at the side and the middle of the store all producing this amazing odour. It was a wonderful sea of colors all carefully caressed one by one to make the perfect bouquet. The store was quiet, no one had entered since it opened up today yet so it was a nice and peacefull day. At the back of the store some rumbling sounded, it was one of the two workers that worked at the store. Her knife carefully slit across the bottom of the stem to clear it. She placed it with the other flowers in the pot she had standing on the workbench before her. The process repeats and repeats untill she has a nice pot full of flowers that she could put with the rest.
A light breeze entered the store making the flowers move lightly with the wind. The air brushed against her ears making them twitch for a moment. She licked the back of her hand and brushed it lightly over her ear making it move up and down. She shook her head for a moment and continued working on the flowers. The silence continued for a while, but eventually got broken by the other worker of the shop talking to the girl from the back.
"How is it going here?"
Hamaguchi's tail twitched upwards as her eyes widened a little, her ears moved to the sound just as her head did in one quick go. She looked at the opened up door behind her seeing a woman standing in it. It was the owner of the shop, she was in her mid 30s and worked here full time. The woman looked at the bouquets that Hamaguchi all made and gave a somewhat approved nod as she walked over to them.
"These look quite good, you have a good taste."
"Thank you miss Hisae."
Her cat like voice sounded, not really displaying any kind of bother by that it was good. Her tail was telling different though, it was playfully brushing the air from side to side as she continued working. The woman next to her glanced at her tail and let a small smile on her face knowing that the girl was happy about it. Her smile turned into a somewhat more evil one though as she raised her hand to the working girl her head.
"Nyaaaa!~"
The hand of the woman was placed on one of Hamaguchi her ears lightly tickling at the back of it while brushing it with her palm. The ear was lightly pressed against her head as the woman continued and Hamaguchi dropped her work on the table pulling both her hands towards her belly. A red blush appeared on her face while she squinted her eyes closed tilting her head forwards a little. A squirming voice erupted from the mouth of the cat girl clearly showing that she didn't want it.
"Miss Hisae! Please stoooopppp~ I down't wann disss~"
"Oh! You said you where over your speaking problem. You are clearly still talking not clearly."
"It is becauwse you swill do thins like diss, nyaaaa~"
The woman chuckled at the girl seeing that she was in huge distress. Her hand let go of the girls head. The girl slowly opened her eyes again looking quite sad in front of her now. Why could she never have a normal conversation with this woman. It was soooo frustrating. The girl looked up with the top of her eyes towards the woman. Her cheeks inflated to give a pout at the woman as her head slowly became the normal pale color it was before.
"It's a joke, it's a joke. I just wanted to say you're free to go due to the lack of customers. You'll still get your daily pay because you're working so hard."
She gave a short wink at the girl showing a bright gentle smile towards her. Hamaguchi looked up in confusion for a moment but gave a sweet smile as she nodded at her. She undid her dirty apron and hung it onto a nearby hook. She quietly walked over into the display area and turned around to face the woman. She gave a gentle bow and waved at her as she already started turning around.
"Thank you very much miss Hisae, I wish you a wonderful day in return. Bai bai~"
The woman kindly waved in return and went back on doing her work as the girl jogged off. She was gonna do groceries for her little sister now since she had free time. After she left the store dust went up into the air with each step she took. The sun was shining vividly onto her white hairs. Her eyes scanned the area in front of her as she walked. The tail and ears happily bounced along with each step she took.
After going down a few streets she was at the local market where they sold all kind of goods. Her eyes didn't fall on the goods they sold though. Moreover towards a heavy dressed girl that was poking her eyes out at the scenery. Looked like she didn't feel well from her perspective. Hamaguchi tilted her head to the side as she already started walking over towards the girl. Hamaguchi looked a bit confused at the girl but when she got close she had a kind smile on her face. Her hands were bundled together behind her back as one of her feet tilted her lightly to the side just like she did with her head.
"Hello miss. You have quite some different clothes on. I never seen them before in my life. Are they for work or did you come from a different country perhaps nya."
Hamaguchi jumped at her own words. A flat hand immediately raised towards her mouth covering it as her eyes widened at the same time. Her ears were high in the sky completely upright as she kind of awkwardly giggled.
"Sorry I didn't mean to say that. These words just come out from time to time don't they hehe."
She dropped her hand back against her back as she mustered the same smile from before. In her head it was completely different though. 'WHY DID NYA JUST POP OUT AGAIN, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.'
@SkepicKondo
On the roof terrace of the crescent moon tavern sat a long haired man named Kondo. The bright hot sun was shining down onto the roof but the man had already found himself some shadow under a sheet that was hanging from the 4 wooden beams over a few of the tables. He was sitting at the end of the roof next to a small table big enough for a man to stand on. His arm was casually lying on the leaning of the chair while his eyes peered to the side of him. Hundred of people and not one entering his tavern. He didn't mind though, plenty of money still and booze enough to last him half a year. He enjoyed his job, he didn't get any visitors then the locals that constantly came by and drunk with him. He took another jug from his mug and let out a satisfying 'that hit the spot' sound.
Just as he did one of his friends entered the roof terrace. His somewhat boorish expression turned into a slight grin. He dropped his feet from the table and turned his chair over towards him. He placed on hand onto his knee and leaned on it while having the mug in the other hand.
"Irasshai , good to see you today too old friend."
He kept watching him as he made his way over and told Kondo there was trouble. Kondo's brow raised a little, apparently there were some shady people on the streets? Perhaps he confused it with tax collectors again or people of the army. The giant looked over the wall down at the street to scan all the people walking down there. Kondo did the same and looked with him from his chair.
"Is that so? Perhaps some foreigners, those always look different so I don't think it is anything special what you mentioned friend. Don't worry about it."
Kondo chugged his mug and let out another satisfying sound. He stood up and walked inside the building again. There were some barrels of booze standing in the hallway where the stairs were in too. It was an easy way for a refill, but the tap was on the back so not all people noticed it right away they could get for free here. He got another mug and filled it too. He went outside once more and sat down again turning his chair on one leg in one swoop with only his body weight. His feet landed on the table again as he shoved the mug onto the table to slide it across to Kyojin.
"Cheers"
Aya
She could hear something heavy tapping against the roof above her, she was about to look at what the sound was when she was done looking at the crowd in awe but came to notice that the sun wasn't shining onto her anymore. Her head slowly turned upwards towards the things happening above her head and she was able to see a girl with long ears and a tail falling towards her. Her mouth opened slightly in confusion to what was happening but once her brain processed it she came to panic a little more.
"WHAAAAA, WHATSHOULDIDOOMGWHYDOTHESETHINGSHAPPENTOMEDEARLORDGRANTMEPOWER."
Aya had her hands on her head while running around like a headless chicken. When the falling girl was almost at the ground she stopped panicking, pressed her lips tightly against each other and held out her hands in front of her to catch the girl. They both knew at that moment... that they were both in deep trouble. With an incredible force the girl landed on Aya her small frame. Aya fell backwards taking the girl with her. Her body dropped like a brick with the girl in her arms. Her vision became blue with a bright yellow stip in the corner of it. It all went so fast. The weight pushed onto her felt heavy. Her back quickly hit the ground sending thousands and thousand of signals to her brain. Her eyes widened as her mouth instantly letting all the air out. A surging pain was going through her head. It wasn't because she hit her head but more all the information flowing into her brain.
She gaped for air and lied defeated on the ground. Her mouth was still slightly open as she stared up at the sky. It didn't look like she was gonna try to move but was more in some sort of shock making her totally forget about the girl on top of her. It hurted more than it should. She could tell from the ground shaking that people were walking close to her and that there were about 10 people in at least 5 meters around her. Aya rose a hand up at the sky and looked at it. What was with her, it felt like she could tell a lot of the world around her, about the properties of stuff and about the dangers of it but she didn't even know anything about this place. When her conscious somewhat came back to the world she was in she let out a heavy puff.
"Ugh, heavy."
She closed one of her eyes and placed her hand against her forehead covering the eye. The other hand started to explore the new person on top of her. She didn't look at what she was grabbing but she could tell it was a furry tail or ear. The fur felt nice and soft though. She retreated her hand back to her head and placed it onto her other eye. She felt a little like she was gonna puke at any point, this was all getting a little too much for her.
"Please land softer next time."
