Never gonna grow up! (Leon/Ryan)

[Marin]

She'd called territory 1 home for the last few years, luckily having had enough of a connection with a certain princess in order to survive. She'd been 9 at the time, but, now a young 16-year old lady, Marin could mostly fend for herself.

With crime, but, you know.

Today seemed like a nice day for a game, though, and with no one free to play with her, she luckily had the eternal? company of her Qi sprite.

"Mitsoumi, you're good at games, right?" she'd ask.

[Zack Asiv]

Mitsoumi was busy doing a hand stand for absolutely no reason when Marin asked him if he was good at games, his concentration would break and he would fall straight down smashing his face into the ground, which suspended the rest of his body in the air. He would speak as if his entire body weight was not pressing down on his face.

"Mmmfmmm mfmmm mfmmfmfm mfffffmmm."

Falling over he would stand up and nod while waiting for Marin's proposed game. As if she completely understood what he had said while muffled.

[Marin]

She just giggles, definitely laughing at him.

"Well before I tell you the game, tell me what you're REALLY good at. And what you're really bad at."

[Zack Asiv]

"So.... I'm really good at... Uh... Oh! I'm really strong and I am good at playing pretend. I'm really; and I mean really bad at science and puzzles and stuff. But I enjoy those too."

He'd give her a thumbs up.

[Marin]

"Oh wow! Me too!"

This coming from the queen of solving anything by randomly wandering into the solution.

"Okay, okay! We'll play a game where we pretend?"

She's asking but even if he said no she'd probably still make them do that.

[Zack Asiv]

Mitsoumi would laugh and clap his hands twice.

"Yes, yes. I like those games the most... You know... Because I'm good at them..."

He'd pause until she began speaking again before interrupting.

"Pretending."

[Marin]

"Okay, Oka-"

Marin would pause from the interruption. Her eyes narrowing.

"A pretend game, then..." she'd try to finish what she was saying this time!

[Zack Asiv]

Mitsoumi would nod... FURIOUSLY, with sparkling eyes waiting to hear what this almighty game might be, because he wanted to play it ever so much.

[Marin]

She looks pleased with his reaction.

"Good! First I'm going to need to test you to see if you're high-leveled enough to partake in my grand scheme! Which...has pretending in it." she nods sagely.

"So! You need to pretend you're...a rich guy! And convince one of the ladies in that building you can afford them!

She points towards one of the brothels.

[Zack Asiv]

"Okay, okay... Rich guy... I'm wealthy, got a lot of monies. I own stuff... Okay. I can do this."

He'd suddenly stand up a bit straighter, his entire posture changing as his facial demeaner even shifted.

"Excuse me... Young lady, I require instructions to the nearest brothel. I'm new in town and have procured quite the... Thirst for entertainment that only the finest of woman can attend to."

[Lucifer]

The woman that he approached flinched away from him, wearing little more than tattered rags, her arms full of groceries she tried to back away from the strange man advertising his eclectic tastes in fear!

[Marin]

Marin would cover her mouth with her hands, trying not to laugh.

"Pretty good! She looks real spooked though."

[Zack Asiv]

Mitsoumi would tilt his head and raise a brow. Maybe he was playing it too rich, too fancy. His demeaner would change again and he would look at the lady with the bags.

"Look doll, I tell ya' what. I scratch your back, you scratch mine, yeah? I help you with the groceries you help me, got it?"

Perfect, Mitsoumi is a theatrical genius.

[Lucifer]

She tries to run away!

[Marin]

Marin's impressed, even if this lady isn't.

"She probably isn't allowed to talk or something." Marin shrugs.
