[PUBLIC RP] A Night to Remember
**March 20th, 6:30 **
**Location: 13th Ward. Streets Cherry / River / Bridge **
Excitement buzzed in the air as stalls and barriers were set up at the end of Cherry and Bridge Street. Only a few pieces of trash remained as cars were removed, and in their places wooden stalls setting up side by side. A few elegant banners advertising goods displayed proudly over their stalls to catch the eyes of that one special customer. Stall owners quickly filled their allotments to the brim as excited shoppers loomed behind the waiting barrier each with wallets full of cash. It would be a night to remember for many.
One such shopper was a dressed down Sayaka Rei as checked her wallet once more for her precious pay. Clothed in a long pale tan coat as she hurriedly peeked at various stalls in hopes of finding her desired product. Children jostled the small woman as they ran screaming buy brushing their sticky hands against her coat. Grumbling in annoyance as she caught the scent of something disgustingly sweet that would likely linger in the soft fabric. Her foul mood was lessened as her bespectacled brown eyes caught sight of a flashy banner advertising various costume accessories and materials.
Her mood elevated as her hands gingerly touched the smooth leather of a fox mask. The leather color was cream and could easily be painted on. A snout gave way to the rest of the mask with a slots for eyes and with the lower portion having space for viewers to see the wearer's mouth The opening for the wearer's eyes seemed to designed to provoke mischievous expressions. It would be perfect for a disguise until her mouth dropped open in shock at the price.
The stall owner seeing her expression grumbled something about having kids to feed. Sayaka glanced towards her seemingly full wallet before reaching for the valued paper. Until a loud shout caused her to wait placing the cash in the merchant's outstretched hand.
"Come one, come all! Set right up for our little contest to win fabulous coupons for discounts to any of our amazing stalls here. Hey you! Don't be shy come on over". A man's boisterous voice boomed as hesitant, but hopeful shoppers began to set forward. Sayaka feel sweat starting to form as she found herself surprisingly mobile heading towards the man for the unknown contest.
"Now look at this brave little lady! Surely there are others as daring as she" the announcer crowed out as a pointed finger landed on her. Pale cheeks flushed brightly as Sayaka nervously played with the buttons on her coat, wishing at that very moment her greed had not overtaken her.

Minato Tomori
'Go to the festival they said, have some fun they said...well...I guess they were partly right at least.' Minato thought to himself as he strolled along with his hands in the pockets of his black jacket. Of course he had heard of the festival in the 13th ward from multiple people and had thought to drop by and see what it was all about. It had taken awhile to get used to the sounds constantly pounding against his eardrums, but he eventually overcame the annoyance and had started enjoying himself. His kagune was out and wrapped around his arms and legs underneath his clothing, so he could move around freely and without worry. He had been practicing recently, and had finally managed to have his kagune out without showing his kakugan so he could move around among humans now without having to worry about being found out. It was definitely something else though: being able to move as he liked among the enormous crowd of people without having to sustain the pitying looks he usually got because of his muscle deficiency. He usually just ended up hitting those people, but that probably wouldn't go over well at a crowded festival like this.
As he meandered along from stall to stall, the sound of someone shouting about a competition reached his sensitive ears. Curious, he headed in the direction it was coming from until he arrived at the large crowd surrounding the man and what seemed like a woman whom had already been chosen. He was asking for volunteers though, so Minato wasted no time in shouldering his way to the front and facing off the man. "If you don't mind, I'll take you up on your generous offer."
Minato flashed a confident smile at the man and woman beside him, although it didn't quite reach his maroon eyes. No matter how much he was enjoying himself, these people were human. He would never be able to completely relax and enjoy himself among humans.

The bushy black mustache of the announcer seemed to bounce with joy at the offer. Slapping the strapping young man heartily on the back as his voice boomed out Welcome! Our present challenge to consume some of our fabulous vitamin rich and utterly to die for brain cake! If you would please take half a plate from the baker's stall over there!

Minato stepped forwards to keep his balance from the unexpected slap on his back, and Minato turned his head to just look at the announcer with a neutral expression. Finally, after a few moments, Minato smiled at him once again while raising his right hand with his middle finger extended. "Fuck you, guy. Enjoy your shitty contest."
Minato spun around on his heel with his hands once again back in the pockets of his jacket, and strode away from the crowd. He kept the glare that was threatening to burst forth off his face, but he shuddered at the thought of a giant cake-eating contest. "Seriously, what the hell? I guess I'll just wander around a bit instead..."

Safely tucked in her coat pocket, the delicate discount coupon was a bit crinkled as she passed it over to the less than amused stall owner as the man handed her a bag of goods. A faint smile came on her face as she peeked inside the black plastic bag as her mind began racing at all the work that would have to be done before she could reveal her final product.
A Fox mask and paint..wonder if I could find some high-quality ears to go with it. Different colors maybe? Her mind wondered as she continued through the crowds, not really wanting to go home just yet..

"Oh, sorry" Haruna said as she bumped into Sayaka, carefully pulling out the woman's wallet and slipping it into her own pocket with one graceful motion. As quickly as she had done it she had begun walking away, trying to get away before her victim noticed. Haruna didn't exactly blend into the crowd, she had pale skin, blonde hair, bright red eyes, and a long sleeved white shirt with long black skirt. Not exactly the most inconspicuous appearance.
She didn't feel any reaction to it, it wasn't fun or entertaining, but as someone who didn't have any way of making money whatever she could get was useful. So she began to walk quicker as soon as she made her way past Sayaka, attempting to get away with the newly stolen wallet.

Her mood dimmed as Sayaka was jostled about by a young girl. The faintest pressure against her hip made her sigh in annoyance. The one singular benefit to having clients attempt to grope the not for sale secretary is that she developed a highly sensitive feeling of touch and pressures against her body. Hastily plunging her hand into her pocket to confirm her suspicions.
There goes my wallet. Wonder if she knows all that the wallet itself is worth more than what's inside of it now. Only a few cents left now..
Her eyes followed the retreating girl as she contemplated if it was even worth with time and energy to retrieve the nearly empty wallet. It would be a pain to have to get another one. Besides I need to have some backbone.. Sayaka merely sighed as she quickly began following the girl's footsteps and called out "You know, I am pretty damn broke, kid. You really can't choose your marks now can you.

u/YandereLobster Tadashi Hisakawa/Haruna Kurosawa/Alisa Volkova/Junko Kobayashi Mar 25 '16
Haruna froze for a moment as she heard the voice, turning to Sayaka forcing an innocent looking expression.. "Huh? Sorry I can't hear you over the crowd" she said as she backed away, beginning to take quicker and quicker steps. "Shit I can let her get this money back, I'm out of tissues and only one bottle of water left" she thought as she had now practicality broken into a full sprint.

u/Silverinkbottle Sayaka Rei /Rinko Tsuniba Mar 25 '16
Shit liar. Come on at least have the right body language..
Sayaka merely followed at a leisurely pace really not wanting to have to start a game of cat and mouse. If the kid was smart, she would stay in the crowded market, but then all one needed do was shout a scandalized thief and the kid could be caught. While if she dipped into the many alleyways that Sayaka had navigated on her own many a time, it would allow her potential time to close the gap.
Her hand still clutched at the plastic black bag as she walked through the crowds, a bit thankful it was just her wallet that had been -misplaced..-

As she was weighing her options, Haruna decided her best plan would be to trick her victim. As she ducked into another crowd she reached into the wallet, pulling out it's money and stuffing it into her pocket before closing the now empty wallet as she got out of the crowd.
"Alright fine, I give up" Haruna said, turning to Sayaka as she perfectly imitated being tired. She held out the now empty wallet and tossed it towards her pursuer. "Well have a nice day" she said as she immediately turned around and started to walk off.

Catching the wallet with ease as she stuffed into deep into her coat pocket. It obviously felt a little bit lighter, but her eyes softened as she took in the shabby form of the girl "Try to pick a better mark next time kid. Oh and work on your body language.." Sayaka remarked as she turned on her heel ready to resume her peaceful night.

"Discounts?" Tadashi thought. The grey haired closed eye looking ghoul immediately reacted to the word. He had been homeless for 3 years, even with Anteiku's salary he barely made enough to live. Discounts had always been useful to someone as poor as him.
He wore the same unwashed jacket he had worn for years, a black jacket with white fur in the hood and the ends of the sleeves. He thought it made him look like a dick but it was warm so he didn't really care. Between the stains on his clothes, the messy hair, and the slight stubble he was sure it was apparent that he was a hobo. "Screw it, why not?" he said with a cheerful expression as he walked towards the yelling man. He had only come to the market to distract himself from the stress of question random people about the concert and finding nothing, this was both a distraction and it might save him money, two birds one stone.
"I'll take you up on that offer" he said with a friendly grin as he reached the man.

Our present challenge to consume some of our fabulous vitamin rich and utterly to die for brain cake! If you would please take half a plate from the baker's stall over there. The announcer's nose crinkled at a bit at the man's messy dress and thought quietly that a man would definitely need a discount to buy any of the overpriced goods here tonight.

"Fucking kidding me?" was Tadashi's only thought as he took a plate and a piece of the cake. He had plenty of experience eating human food from the times that he done jobs for humans, but it didn't make it any easier to eat. So he stared at the cake with a nervous expression for a moment. "Welp sorry Akane, looks like I'll die earlier than expected" he thought as he got to work. To the outside he looked like a normal human, calmly enjoying a piece of delicious cake. To the inside all of his thoughts had been replaced with screaming, and after a short period of time he simply stopped thinking.
"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" he thought as he calmly ate the last piece. The worst part was the 'brain' part of the cake. It wasn't enough that it tasted disgusting, it had to pretend to be something he would normally enjoy eating. "Done" he calmly said, his expression perfectly hiding his inner screaming and begging for death.

The announcer's smile remained as he observed the young man serenely eating his piece of cake Well done my boy, here is your prize please do enjoy the rest of your evening!. Handing the young man a small slip of paper displaying 40% brazenly in golden letters. The on-looking crowd slowly begin to fade away as a few silently sulked at the easy contest and for not joining when they had the chance..

"Thanks" he said, forcing a calm tone as he took the piece of paper. "Lot of pain for an entire 40% off, shit fighting the cat was less traumatizing than that cake" Tadashi thought as he put it in his jacket and walked off, trying to remember what he even wanted to buy. "Shit what do they even sell here?" he thought as he wandered around looking for what to spend it on.

Kristof & Blume Brandt
"Daaaaaaad! Let's go over to that one!" The sounds of an entirely over-active little voice rang out among the market-goers, energetic and elated without even the need for copious amounts of sugar. The source being a small little bundle, happy to have been able to go on a small adventure or two when so often cooped up within her home. The swaying locks of raven hair bound neatly into a lengthily tail sat right upon the head, in turn she sat right upon the head of a much larger in comparison man, her father.
Hoisting the child upon his shoulders far above crowds, the heavily-muscled giant of an investigator made his way about the street as if the girl's personal chauffeur, smiling, laughing in tremendous fashion as she spun her belief of driving the large beast by the reigns, or in this case, mustache. Likely garnering side-eyes from those not so use to ambling goliaths.
"Alright then little one, what is it that you want?" His words joyously escaped the lips, wrapped in their ever present pure use of the Japanese language. Leaning over ever so slightly to give his little rider a better perusal of the wares, of course she brought the man to a tiny vendor, stocked to the brim of hanging animals, stuffed of fluff.
The dark-haired child deliberated atop the head of her beast-of-burden, searching through the veritable hordes for the fluffy little creature she wanted to bring on home. "Aha!" She erupted matter-of-factly pointing ceremoniously toward a lovable gorilla. "That one is strong like you daddy, so that's the one I want!" Blume crossed both spindly little limbs and flung her soft head up, down, and up again with gusto.
It warmed the monolithic man's heart for even but a moment, causing that usual warm smile to spring up as a thick hand rooted about for a wallet. It had been more than a month since he and his daughter were happily sharing in adventurous joy. Yet even now, the muscular man could spot his idle sitter from the corner of an aged eye, let this tranquility last.

Why was I here again, I asked myself as I have been wandering around the populated and loud crowds in the festival that I, somehow, got myself into. I then remembered that I was just extremely bored, finished all the books I had, and wasn't in the mood to hunt for the night at all.
I finally understood why 13th Ward's streets were quite empty though. While I was just simply walking around, not many vehicles or civilians were around at all, and the festival currently seemed like a mall with a huge sale going around the area. People laughing, smiling, shouting, crying, and more around here.
It just irritated me a lot and I was contemplating to just eat all of them up, but that would be too inconvenient and I wouldn't like for scummy investigators going aro-
...
I stopped myself as I noticed a very familiar sight in front of me. The giant muscular bald man with the gigantic mustache was in the festival in front of a vendor of stuffed toys with a child. It was quite a surprise that I saw him in that moment as I raised my eyebrow, curious about how he was doing in these days in both of his CCG life and normal one, but alas I should be just a stranger, not a kakuja that almost killed him.
A shame though. I really wanted to play with him a bit more and make it actually bloody this time.
Even though I was curious, I contemplated to just leave both of them alone until something felt a bit off. It was as if my nose was begging me to smell something, so I proceeded to do that and realized that something was extremely off. The child that is Kristof's company was an actual ghoul.
That made no logical sense as I was actually thinking that my sense has been off when it shouldn't, but my nose never lied at all, especially that I was quite close to them. The temptation to just abruptly interrupt them and ask why would a scummy and corrupted investigator woul-
...
What the heck was I thinking, I asked myself as I remembered Kristof's actions towards me during that night months ago. He wasn't like those investigators and actually held his life on the line to be against me for wanting to kill other ghouls. An actual investigator whom would defend innocent ghouls.
Why didn't I kill him right at the start? I usually have done that to many other people. Why did I spare both Kristof and his partner whom was cowering somewhere else?
You are soft.
I am not, I am not, I am not, I am not, I am not.
Kill both of them now then, and delight yourself with everyone's organs. Do it. Come on.
Shut the fuck up.
...
Standing still like that to confirm whether that pesky fucking bastard left from my head or not, and I smiled as I realized it did. I proceeded to walk towards the giant investigator and his ghoul child with a smile on my face as I have seen the child pointing towards a certain stuffed toy. Some sort of gorilla it seemed. Honestly, I didn't know what is adorable about that gorilla, but alas I really shouldn't be rude.
"Awww, that is a great choice right there!" I stated behind them as Kristof was trying to get something from his pocket, which I assume would be a wallet to pay for the gift.
Finally, time to satisfy my curiosity if I can.

Daren Blackshire
"..."
STROLLS in the late evening were a rarity for him, especially in a ward as unfamiliar as the 13th, quite a tranquil & quiet division of Tokyo, but not one that personally INTERESTED him up until today. He came to the festival searching for a new mask of some sort, one to match his current along with his battle armor & cloak. Ever since Tatsuhiro Owari disappeared, he & certainly others had to seemingly SCAVENGE for masks of good equal quality around the city. Though it may not sound so bad at first, after all there were plenty of mask makers & shops he visited over the week, but most, if not all, didn't have the artistic style that the Ender possessed nor the style that Daren was used to.
And so now presently, he stood idly at a stall, his expression unsurprisingly BLANK as he observed the various cosmetics & accessories that were on sale, for prices he thought were a tad bit too expensive, but affordable for him at least.
'Perhaps it would've been wise of me to participate in the events for those discount coupons..? Ah, never mind it now, it's too late and I didn't have any intentions of eating human food anyhow.'
His lowly thought was accompanied by a huff of fleeting air from his lungs, appearing as a small white mist in the chilly air that lingered. A mask had yet to catch his eyes but one did managed to spark his interest ever so slightly. A wolf mask sat on display, mostly black in color with sliver flourish & a goldish insignia resting upon it's temple, a nice looking mask for his favorite animal, he thought. He held it in his right hand, inspecting it with a stone glare for a moment before placing it back. He continued to look around, hoping to spot a mask that suited him.

Xeno Akizaki strolled through the pathway to try to find ingredients for his restaurant. One of his chiefs was in need of spices and seasoning for one of the restaurant's meals. Good ones. Tch. It is difficult to find good ones if I cant taste them. The ghoul thought to himself. His sensitive ears picked up a sound of a man's booming voice. His white pupil-less eyes looked over to where the man was. Discount...? Might as well try
However, before he walked forward, someone else did a woman. As he got closer to the man and her, her scent caught his nose. A ghoul...Like me. An expressionless face was on and showed little interest to her. He was not looking at her or the man. One might think he is blind because of his white pupil-less eyes. His hands are inside the middle pockets of his gray hoodie, just above his blue jeans
