There wasn't a clear indication of who that was in response to, so it didn't seem like she'd been acknowledged.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

"Ah?"
As Toshiko headed for the door, she glanced back over her shoulder. Ryuuko wanted to drive? Why was that? After all, Toshiko felt that she always made incredibly decent time when driving. They always arrived far under the projected time of arrival, didn't they? Of course. So what was the reason for Ryuuko had for wanting to drive?
"Why do you ask, Ryuuko-kun?" Toshiko answered the question with one of her own.

@pugbutter: Okay, um, I know you saw the posts so I'm kind of confused as to why you didn't make a quick edit to acknowledge the other character in the scene. ^^;

Trust their kin? My, the prospect of that was... interesting. Toshiko's own family had once attempted to murder her, simply because she rejected what she saw as a fool's errand. Even now, as her sister's efforts had cooled their rage, they still sought to punish her for what they saw as a betrayal. Even her sister thought she needed some kind of punishment... and for what? It wasn't as if she was the one who had been cheated out of learning ancient magic from the time of Babylon. It wasn't as if she was the one who continued to believe in an impossibility. Humans could quite simply no longer obtain the Origin of All. That bloody ritual that promised the origin to the one who claimed the white night was nothing less then the act of fools. Toshiko took another sip of tea.
"It's not as if I'm unfamiliar with an untrustworthy family," the redheaded woman commented, simply, in an off-hand fashion, "In any case, we should probably get moving. The sooner we reach them and solve this case, the sooner we can get paid."

Toshiko took a sip of her tea, and decided to elaborate a bit more on some matters that the case file didn't exactly clarify.
"Now, I'm not sure if you're aware of the history of the Daidouji family, but I'll give a quick rundown just in case you're not. The Daidouji Mage family has splintered into many, many branches. Every single last one of these branches hates the other. And when I say hates, I mean backstabbing and murder aren't out of the realm of possibility when it comes to one branch to another. Our suspect may be the member of another branch," she explained. It was certainly the case. Toshiko had once met one of the Daidouji heirs. She was a gorgeous girl, short, deep black hair. She had told Toshiko her ultimate goal was to kill her uncle, who had apparently stolen her mother's magic grimoire.
She didn't know if the girl had succeeded, but regardless of if she had or not it was rather clear to Toshiko what kind of family she was dealing with. The fierce rivalries between each of the branches had only grown more and more violent as time went on. Ah, such was the Daidouji.
"Your guess at the perpetrator being a family member is hardly an unlikely one," she concluded, taking another sip of tea.

If she's incredibly skilled somehow, tech or something makes sense in context of this RP.

Toshiko paused for only a moment when she saw the girl lying on her couch. Ah, her... currently single employee, and rather ironically part of an organized crime family. However, that was not the sort of crime that the redheaded mage had formed this agency in order to counteract. Besides, she was hardly about to protest at being employed to teach someone magic, especially if it allowed her to have assistance on cases. She eyed the tea for only a moment before responding.
"I think I'd enjoy a cup of tea," she said, simply, before putting her cigarette in her mouth and taking another long drag. After a moment, she took it out, and the smoke curled into the air. Ah, such a grey, dreary day... not at all reflective of the relative optimism that had risen in the woman's heart. After all, she had a case, at last. Funds were running particularly thin...
"But aside from that," she continued, raising the case file, "We've got a new case. They've been in contact since last night. It's a theft, and they're pretty eager to get us down there."
She offered the file to the yakuza princess.

Tōnan Gyakuten
It was a somewhat dreary afternoon. It wasn't raining, but the weather hadn't been predicted to be particularly pleasant. It didn't take some trained professional to be able to tell that there was going to be rain today. The dark clouds, the heavy air, even that strange smell that permeated the atmosphere, it all spoke of a storm.
Toshiko lit a cigarette, and inhaled. The smoke rushed in, and she took the cigarette from her mouth and blew it out. She raised an eyebrow at the paper before her. She'd received the phone call, and then a fax. The family seemed quite desperate to retrieve what had been taken...
To say nothing of what had been stolen, the circumstances were curious. The room wasn't so much a room as a heavily-protected vault, yet nothing had been destroyed. The walls were intact, so was the door... and it was tightly locked. The spells in place to protect the item were still intact, or at least that's what the family believed. There was no sign of... well, anything, really, as far as the family had been able to tell. The only difference in the entire house was that the stolen item was missing. Toshiko took another drag on her cigarette, and blew the smoke out. This... this was, to begin with, an undeniably supernatural case. And the family was quite willing to pay very well...
To be honest, Toshiko currently found herself utterly without any spending money. A well-paying case, a curious case like this...
Her employee would be downstairs by now, or at least on their way to the agency. It was time to speak to them about this case. Getting to her feet, Toshiko walked through her dimly-lit office, passing stacks of paper and the single old television. She walked to the door and pulled it open, before beginning to head downstairs.
It was time to solve a theft.

- Name: Ando Toshiko
- Age: 28
- Appearance: "Anyone in my employ is under my protection." Toshiko has red hair, red eyes, and pale skin.
- Personality: Toshiko enjoys spending life with people she cares about, and generally makes for fairly pleasant company. However, she will change her behavior depending on the situation. When talking to employees, she is friendly, calm, and kind. When speaking with a perpetrator, for example, she makes a drastic change, approaching cruelty. In addition, it is not difficult to rouse her to anger and she has a remarkable lack of patience for someone who has taken a profession as a detective. When sufficiently angered, she will remove her glasses and and begin taking things extremely seriously. She enjoys cigarettes and seems to have something against organizing her office. Toshiko's ultimate goal is to attain immortality, as well as ensure no-one causes too many problems that interfere with having a pleasant life. Toshiko is terrible with money and spends incredibly frequently, sometimes on magical items and other times on things she simply thinks are interesting.
- Abilities: Toshiko's Affinity is Fire. As such, she is highly skilled in spells relating to fire. She is capable of casting spells by "carving" symbols in the air using a lit cigarette. Notable among her spells is an Instant Ignition spell. While it requires a full rune to be "carved" in the air, it will instantly ignite a target. As Toshiko's affinity is fire, she is also skilled with spells involving "consumption", "ignition", and "destruction". In addition, she has learned spells outside of her affinity. These spells are primarily wards and illusions, which she uses to conceal the Fu Sonzai no Gensō building from the eyes of regular humans. She is also capable of self-healing spells that can heal serious injury, though not something that will cause instant or very rapid death, and she must be conscious to use them.
- Weapons/Equipment: Toshiko has a great deal of cigarettes with her at almost all times. Not only does she like them, but they aid her casting.
- Brief Backstory: Toshiko was born into the Ando family, a family of magi with the goal of accessing Origin of All Magic, the wellspring from which all mana extends from that contains and infinite wealth of magical knowledge, all spells ever created, that ever will be created. Early in life, Toshiko was mentored in magic by her grandfather. When she reached her late teens, she was sent to a Mage Circle in London to train. It was here that she chose to abandon her family's goal, firmly believing it to be unattainable. While her family was initially outraged by her decision and desired to kill her, they eventually decided she would simply need punishment instead. This was, in part, because Toshiko's sister had not displayed the same desire to give up. Deciding to pursue the goal of immortality, Toshiko returned to Japan and founded the Fu Sonzai no Gensō detective agency in an effort to ensure pleasant life wasn't disrupted. Also to make money.
