Thursday: October 4, 2007
Who: Mitsuko and Kazuki
When: Afternoon
Where: Kazuki's Shop
What: Ordering a uniform and (hopefully) meeting a new friend

It had been a very impulsive thing. Several days ago, Mitsuko had gone to the cafe for some coffee. While she was there, instead of placing her order, she had asked the waiter if she could get a job there.

While Mitsuko had always thought of her "career" as thief, she had various employments in the seven years she'd been on her own. Waitress was a very common one for her. It was a job that didn't change much whether she went, she got to meet lots of people and it kept her busy.

Now that she was in Elysium and had basically given up her thievery, she was finding it hard to keep herself busy. In the old days, she would have just moved onto the next place, to the next adventure. But now that she was in Elysium, she needed to find contentment here.

She hadn't yet started work at the cafe. She was still doing training, however given her experience, it wouldn't take long for her to officially have a job.

Amongst the various waitressing jobs she had, one of her favorites had been at the Maid's Cafe in Akihabara. It was a convenient way for her to conceal her Kitsune identity, as most believed her ears and tail to be her appealing to those who liked KItsunemimi... With the tips she'd gotten, it'd worked well. Mitsuko always liked attention and the cute maid's uniform she had worn certain got attention. So she'd made the suggestion to her new boss that she don a similar costume when working in Helicharis. It had gone over well and that was why she was at the tailor's shop. She needed to get her uniform made so she could start work.

She went into the small shop and looked around for the owner. "Hello?" She called out. She pushed a lock of hair over her ear. She hadn't yet been in the tailor's. She'd been a bit hesitant about it, with her fetish for designer labels. But now that those designers were out of business, she would have to get her clothes locally. She just hoped she liked whoever worked here.

Kazuki had a natural tendency to set out the fall colors for people when they came in. When he worked at the store back in Tokyo it was essential to put out the fall fashion line the minute the leaves began to turn and he was far behind in his mind so he hastily began to put warmer clothes and dresses of bolder colors such as reds, oranges and yellows. He wasn’t so much a fan of pants and all of the same color, so most of the pants and shirts were just switched to more clothing fit for the weather like sweaters and such.

When he heard someone enter, he carefully looked to see who it was. Though he couldn’t put a name to the person-a kitsune in fact she seemed familiar. She was awfully pretty, someone who could easily fit into anything in the store. He wasn’t one of those people shocked by her appearance. In fact he was hoping he would run into a kitsune one day.
He walked close to her and tilted his head with a careful, friendly smile. “Can I help you?” He then folded his arms with a hum. “God, you look familiar.”

Mitsuko looked around the store a bit. She had been expecting long peasant gowns and wretchedly outdated blouses. There was such a stench of "old-time charm" in Elysium, she was certain any hope of haute couture would be lost. Yet the clothes that was set out was... Fashionable. Stunning, even. Mitsuko ran a hand over a jacket with a small smile. If she had seen that gorgeous outfit eight months ago, she would have stolen it already.

She turned when she heard someone come into the room. He was a small man. She would have pegged him as similarly aged to her, but it was very hard to tell with praeternaturals (especially since she would remain looking early twenties well into her forties). He was small, slight. Cute even, if a bit too delicate for her usual taste. She was a bit surprised to see he was Japanese. There did seem to be a lot of them around here, didn't there?

"I don't think we've met," Mitsuko said carefully. "Does my reputation precede me?" She bowed slightly. "Kamiyama Mitsuko." She looked up at the young man with interest. She smiled warmly. She glanced towards the outfit she had been admiring. "This was not what I was expecting when I came in here. It's actually... Good. My hope for tailoring in Elysium wasn't very high."

Kazuki was more than proud of himself when Mitsuko said that she liked his stuff. He was growing a reputation and he sure liked it. When he first arrived in the safe haven, it took him quite some time to get even a shirt done. Now he could get a whole outfit done in probably about two hours. Especially if he was rested and..of course fed and all that. He had grown to accept the whole blood needing thing if he got things done and got some praise. Win some lose some he supposed.

“Well Mitsuko.” He offered his hand to her. “You must have some sort of reputation if I feel as if I know you.” He smiled sweetly towards her. “I’m Kazuki. I am also glad you like my stuff. It takes some time to make it, but I can imagine it sucks to imagine we’d be stuck with crappy clothes here. I don’t mind doing it.” He promised towards her. “Is there anything specific you need? I gladly take requests. I am looking forward to the Halloween requests even.”

He had hoped the sanctuary was celebrating Halloween. He knew some people may call it something else..or perhaps some people were against it. But maybe they could at least dress up and have some fun.

There was something very familiar about the clothing offered within the store, but Mitsuko could not quite place her finger on it. But now that she knew there were clothes like this offered in Elysium, she would have to come by more often. True, she had come to the haven with more than enough clothes. She had brought her entire wardrobe. She had not been in a hurry, being well-informed of the oncoming virus. But things went out of style, she became easily bored. Now, she would be well-stocked with new pretty things.

She let out a small laugh at Kazuki's assertion that she must have had a reputation. "Oh, my dear... You don't even know the half of it." She placed his accent as Tokyo. She was rather infamous in that particular city. "It's very nice to meet you. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." She grinned at him. "I wasn't looking for something for Halloween, but now that you mention it... I should get something." Mitsuko loved Halloween. As someone who made her trade pretending to be other people, it was like a day of worship for her. "Maybe a Princess. What do you think?" She primped and posed, being very over-the-top. "There's something ojousama about me, ne?" It was a personal joke, a reference to her mother's advisor's honorific for her.

She continued to look around the store at the various items out for display. "I actually came in because I'm going to be working at the cafe in town. I decided since I can't keep robbing people for a living, I better find something honest to do with my time. Anyway, I used to work at a Maid's Cafe in Akihabara and when I mentioned it to the owner of the cafe, he liked the idea of the uniform... So..."

She leaned over one of the racks and smiled sweetly at Kazuki. "Can you do it, Kazuki-kun? Can you make me a pretty little maid?"

If anyone was a native of Japan not too long before the virus struck they may have recognized the style of clothing Kazuki had to offer. He pretty much co-owned a very upscale trendy clothing store that not only the local scene kids were into but people of all different ages. It was a large store and he and the other workers had to slave away by their lonesome while his boss found victims to drain the life out of them. Of course he had no idea or he would have fled out of there like a bat out of hell. Since he was so foolish to ignore his suspicions as to why his boss was only out at night that’s how he became a vampire himself.

“It’s very nice to meet you too and I have to agree with you on this being a fantastic friendship. In fact, you seem like a perfect model for my clothing.” Mitsuko had a great body form. Many people believed that Japanese people were simply just skinny and cute. But Mitsuko had a nice curvy and sexy frame. She was on Kazuki’s top list of girls he would chase after if he swung towards girls.

“Ohh.” Kazuki stated towards her being a princess. “I could see you being either a princess that already existed or a princess of your own. Like you know, a sexier version of sleeping beauty or something of those tales. Or, you know Cinderella sine she gets her own godmother and such.” He winked, Cinderella was a very famous fairy tale.

The vampire was happy for Mitsuko that she was going to work at the café and a mischievous smile rose to his lips. “I can only wonder what responses you will get from people in a nice little number.” He gave her an assured nod that he could make her more than just a pretty little maid. “Oh, I sure can make you a pretty maid! You are already pretty, we just need the outfit.” He replied with a wink.

As she looked, Mitsuko became more and more certain she had some of Kazuki's clothes. She frowned slightly, thinking about it. "Kazuki..." she repeated. "Kazuki... Watanabe?" she looked at him expectantly. "That's your last name, isn't it?" She let out a small squeal, clapping her hands. "I remember you!" She said excitedly. "You worked with Adrian Hara, ne?" She was grinning broadly. "I left Japan when I was young, but I always kept up-to-date with the latest fashions. Your stuff was perfect. There was a store in San Francisco that carried a lot of Japanese imports. I must have robbed it more than a dozen times."

Mitsuko giggled at the idea of her being a model for Kazuki. "I worked as a model briefly," Mitsuko said, thinking back on the experience. "In New York. For a very hot up-and-coming designer. He was a pretty good tumble too." She frowned slightly. "You know, he would have mad it really big if I hadn't stolen all of his clothes before Fashion Week."

She giggled once again at Kazuki's ideas of her as a princess. "Cinderella, ne?" She thought about it. "Would that make you my Fairy Godmother, Kazuki-kun?" She twirled her hair around her finger. "I do look really good all made up though. As if I were going to a ball... Of course, I find balls to be really boring. Not enough excitement."

She looked giddy at the prospect of the maid's outfit. "I think I'd get a response no matter what I wear." She threw her arms around Kazuki's neck and gave him a big hug. "Arigatou, Kazuki-kun!" She pulled back. "It would mean so much to me."

Kazuki laughed loudly with a scrunched nose. “You steal things?” He asked, not like he was disappointed in her, but like he was fascinated with her. Security was always tight, how did she do it!? “How? You must be a master at it. I once tried to steal a piece of fruit once and got caught. How long have you done it, how did you learn? Are you a natural?” Kazuki would be way too obvious. As a vampire, trying the whole ‘distracting the victim with the voice’ thing didn’t work. He was just too loud and chatty.

He frowned a bit when it came to Adrian. “Adrian was an ass. His workers deserve more credit than he does. It’s like a lot of top designers. They get all the attention because they came up with the idea, but the workers get no attention.” He was near glowing. “But here is not the case!”

Would the vampire be the fairy godmother?..Of course!”You know I would be the fairy godmother. That’s only because I could grant wishes and because I have the coolest song in the cartoon.” He stated with a laugh. “I agree formals are boring. It’s the true parties that are exciting.”
Kazuki knew it wouldn’t be just any maids outfit so he stated simply with a smirk. “Above the knees, or a little bit higher?”

"Uh-huh," Mitsuko nodded, the smirk on her face absolutely wicked. She bit on her index finger in faux-innocence. "Just something I like to do." She then sighed. "Well, did. I'm kind of trying something new now. Seeing how I can do with, you know... Legitimate work." She shrugged slightly. "I've done it since I was around fourteen. I learned a lot from my sempai, back when I was a yankii. But she always said that I was sort of gifted... But I guess it makes sense. Kitsune have the ability to produce illusions. We're sort of predisposed to making people see what we want... And miss what we don't want them to see." She held up her hand, dangling down several bracelets she had easily liberated from Kazuki. "What do you think? Am I good?" She held the bracelets back out for him to take. She'd only meant it as a prank, a demonstration of her skill.

Mitsuko frowned at the description of Adrian as an ass. "Shame we didn't meet back then," she sighed. "I would have robbed him and let you take all the profits, so you could start your own company." She gave him a reassuring smile. "I remembered your name because I liked your stuff." She gave him a little nudge. "So I'm really glad you're here in town."

Wrinkling her nose, Mitsuko realized just what her job as 'princess' would entail. "Aw... That means the only song I get is about how some guy is going to sweep me off my feet. That's a bit of a drag." She laughed again. "You know, if I go to a party and someone doesn't get naked... I think it's a big waste of time."

There was a gleam of mischievousness in Mitsuko's eyes. She looked down at her legs. "Figure out what's just short enough to be indecent... And go a centimeter or two over that." She smirked. "I have good legs. I plan to show that off." She sighed. "I'm kidding. It's a family place. We better go just a bit above the knee. But still... Legs." She gestured to them. "My chest is not much to write home about. I've gotta flaunt what I do have."

Kazuki gave a surprised look when he saw what Mitsuko had stolen. He never noticed. If she had desired to, she could have stolen the entire store and he wouldn’t have noticed if she did it with enough tactical effort. Obviously, it seemed she could do it without effort. She was just that good. A smile crept on the vampires lips and he stated kindly. “Keep them. They look good on you. Not many people can pull off those bracelets. People think bracelets are just bracelets..but that’s not true.” He gave an encouraging nod that meant he was serious about her keeping the bracelets.

He felt comforted that Mitsuko would have stolen Adrian’s items. “You should have stolen Adrian’s stuff. It would have been worth a lot. Many people paid into the thousands for his dresses especially.” He gave a pout when he thought about starting his own company. “I wish this disaster never started, because then I could have actually had my business. Here i sort of do I guess” He then gave a shrug. “But I guess things just happen.” A flattered smile rose to his cheeks when Mitsuko stated she was glad to have the vampire in town. “I’m glad you’re here too. This place would boring and lonely without you. You’re nice though. Kind of like those fierce chicks with a nice side.”

In regards to a princess Kazuki smirked. “Yeah, but if you are a princess think about all the things you could steal from the castle. Plus you get pampered. So, although you have to sigh and sing about being in love, you still win in the end.” He honestly did hope the party could have something funny like someone being naked. “As far as our party, maybe someone will be drunk enough to get naked.”

He got down to business as far as the outfit she was seeking. “I agree, you have killer legs. I know the restaurant is probably a family restaurant so we don’t want a free show when you bend over.” A brow arched. “Though I am sure some may.” He looked her over. “Just above the knees is perfect and if their was a slight corset in the back your boobs would look just great. You’d be surprised to learn the wonders of a corset. Not even an obvious one, just a little cute one.”

There was some temptation to steal Kazuki blind. The items he had in his store were certainly gorgeous and she would love to wear every single one. But she was already fond of the young vampire and did not want to jeopardize that by robbing him. Besides, she was trying to go straight. And things were free in Elysium anyway. "Domo." She put the bracelets on her wrists and beamed. "They're beautiful." She leaned in and gave Kazuki a peck on the cheek. "When I look at them, I'll think of you."

Mitsuko nodded slowly. "Mm-hm... I know. Hara's stuff went for quite a bit in the States. Of course, I always stole it or got someone to buy it for me, so..." She shrugged. "Don't worry about it. You can have a good business here. There are lots of beautiful people you can have fun dressing up. Like me!" She beamed. "We'll make you the biggest designer in Elysium... No, in any of the Havens! We'll get you a reputation as just pure awesome!" She blushed slightly at Kazuki's compliment. "I like to think so, but it's always nice to hear."

She listened carefully to Kazuki's ideas for her uniform. "Ooh... That reminds me... Do you sell underwear here or is there somewhere else in town I can pick some up?" She had the good nature to blush. "I'm not exactly... well-stocked... in that."

She brought her hands down to her chest and carefully lifted up her breasts, to create the illusion of cleavage. "You really think that'll work?" She frowned slightly. "I've always had to glamour up better tits."

Kazuki laughed when Mitsuko spoke of her tits. "Tits are overrated. I mean, it's not like I have them but I am a good observer of how those things work." He sat on one of the high desks and spoke candidly about his opinion. "I think if you have hugs tits then you get everything easily. All you have to do is bend over a little and the guys' pheromones levels go nuts and you get everything and anything you want." He looked over to her with wiggly brows. "However, If you have to use other body parts to make up for smaller breasts and you still win over men, it proves you have a lot more to offer."

He laughed a bit. "Don't get me wrong, bigger breasts are nice. I can understand why you girls wish you had them if you have smaller ones. But the illusion of big tits are nice too. That way if you find a man who likes smaller tits, you can please him too."

Going back to the undergarments Kazuki gave a devious grin and pointed to the section in the far right corner. "Have at it." He tilted his head in teasing curiosity. "You walk around naked in the house or something?"

Mitsuko laughed along with Kazuki. "Oh, believe me... I've not only got other body parts, but lots of talent, to make up for the lack up top." She went to a mirror to judge herself. She wrinkled her nose a bit. "It's actually probably a good thing my tits aren't big. Otherwise, I'd probably have so much going for me, I could take over the world." She gave Kazuki an absolutely devious look. "And trust me, that is something no one wants."

She was very casual with Kazuki, as if she had known him forever. She was with that with a lot of people. But with most, it was false. It was luring them into a sense of familiarity. But she couldn't say she was faking it with Kazuki. For Mitsuko, he had the air of an old friend. Perhaps their temperments were simply similar. But she already enjoyed his company and felt at ease. "So what do you look for?" She cocked her head slightly. "You know, what makes your pheramone levels go nuts?"

Mitsuko began to peruse the undergarments. "Ooh... No. No naked for me. I have a seventeen-year-old brother at home and I think he's emotionally scarred enough as it is." She looked over a lacy pair of panties. "I wear clothes, I just don't have anything underneath. Considering how I used to be, it was always more convenient to have as little on as possible."

Kazuki snorted when it came to what attracted him. “I know it sounds lame. But since I’m so weirdly hyper and somewhat a personality person, so I guess it is personality that is attractive.” He rolled his eyes. “I know of course some people ARE superficial so I guess eyes are a good quality.” He scrunched his nose. “And for some reason over muscular bodies are realllly gross.” He didn’t know why men found it necessary to be over buff. Of course unless that was their body structure and that was the way they decided to keep it. “It’s good to be confident but arrogance is a total turn off.” He admitted freely.

The vampire gave a frown when he heard of Mitsuko's brother. “Is he alright? What happened to him?” he wondered carefully. “Was he affected by the virus more than others? I know some people witnessed the war more than others. That just would be my first guess.” Kazuki could understand if it was personal, he wouldn’t hold it against her. Though he felt like she was someone he had known for quite some time, everyone had things they weren’t ready to talk about.

Mitsuko giggled softly. "It's not lame. It... It makes a lot of sense." She thought about it for a moment. "You know, I used to like guys with horrible personalities." She frowned slightly. "Not because that was a turn-on or anything. I just.... I wanted to be around miserable people. So I wouldn't feel bad about what I did to them. It's hard to be a thief when you actually like the people you're stealing from." Mitsuko's logic may have been flawed, but that was her past. At least she was trying to fix up her romantic life. "I like funny," she admitted. "My boyfriend is really funny. And fun too. He always likes to be doing something." She nodded. "Yeah. Overly muscled is a turn-off. I like my guys to be nice and lean, with just a nice bit of definition."

She went quiet for a long time, thinking about what was wrong with Logan. Her expression grew solemn. "I didn't meet him until... After." She sighed deeply. "He's my half-brother. The day I met him was the day we had our father's funeral. He died on the way to Elysium, so did my stepmother. I never met her. He watched them both die. My mother... My real mother... Was on the outside around the same time. She said... It was pretty bad." She looked down. "I... I don't know. I was here." She felt a little guilty about that.

Kazuki gave a deep frown when Mitsuko spoke of what had happened to her half-brother and what he had seen. It was a pretty damn harsh was to reunite. The war was pretty ugly, but he really didn’t see it up close. Yeah, along the way he knew there were dead bodies and people suffering the loss of loved ones. But he himself never had to feel the scarring of witnessing someone die before him, especially someone either from his family or someone he loved.

“Man..that must have been horrible. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.” He sat up on the desk and tilted his head to inspect Mitsuko’s expression. He felt bad for bringing it up, but he was glad that she was concerned for her half brother. “How is he holding up? Do you two get along? How long has it been since you last saw him...you know..before the war?” He put on leg up on the desk. “If you have seen each other not all that long ago, he probably trusts you a lot and knows you will do an awesome job in taking care of him.”

Mitsuko could only imagine what Logan had gone through over the months of trying to reach Elysium. She knew he had bad insomnia. Before she knew about his inability to dream, she wondered why he never had nightmares. But not being able to dream... It seemed worse than nightmares. Being unable to work out ones feelings through sleep...

Looking down, Mitsuko sighed deeply. "You misunderstand," she said quickly. "I didn't meet him until after. I didn't even know Logan existed until he came here." She frowned deeply. "The only family he has left in the world is basically a stranger..."

She wrapped her arms herself, hugging her thin body. "We get along... Pretty well, considering he didn't know me until he got here. He... He trusts me. I think he has to. Or else he wouldn't have anyone."

Mitsuko's pretty face was lined with worry. "I'm so afraid of screwing up. He needs someone, but... All he's got is me."

She glanced at her pocketwatch-- obviously pilfered from someone as it went with nothing she wore. "And speaking of, I need to get him me now. I should be getting home to make dinner."

She gave Kazuki a big smile. "I'll come back soon so you can do some measurements."

She skipped towards the door. Before she left, she turned back to Kazuki and winked. "This is the start of a beautiful friendship, Kazuki-kun."

With that, Mitsuko left the tailor's, happy she had met someone not only fun, but could keep her looking as gorgeous as ever.
