Ami/Miroku: Personality Clash!

[Carthrat]

The waitress chose this moment to return, hands laden with sake and food..

Setting down a plate of sushi before Miroku, a bowl of rice and meat in front of Ami, and a jug of Sake in the middle of the table, she said, "Anything else, just call," threw another wink Miroku's way, and then left to deal with other customers..

[Kwokinator]

Kwok almost completely missed the wink, only catching out of the corner of his eyes, as most of his attention was on the food on the table.

"Well, last chance to turn back," he looked up from the food and at Ryder. "Once we eat, we're stuck and have to find some way to get out of this place without any money."

[RyderHakubi]

"We have to eat... We'll figure something out, I know it..." Ryder said as she started to eat the meat.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shrugged.

"Alright," he said between bites of his sushi. "I don't know how the hell we're gonna get out of here, but I'll worry about that later."

[Carthrat]

OOC: General rule, people: If you're in a conversation which stretches out for more than a couple of real time days without posting, I'm gonna intervene. Keep the momentum going and all that.

IC: Eventually (and with a minimum of coughing on Miroku's part), the two finished their meal, and the bouncy waitress appeared before them again.

"That'll be 95 Ryu, you two. Pay at the counter."

She smiled.

"Don't try and leave without paying. We've had people do that before... and it got messy, so to speak."

[Kwokinator]

"Of course we won't," Kwok smiled at the waitress.

He stood up and started rummaging through his robes, knowing full well that he'd come up with nothing.  Nevertheless, he acted panicky and frantic as he patted himself everywhere and continually coming up empty handed.

Good thing I'm a fairly good actor in the real world... let's hope this works.

He cursed under his breath, trying to will his face to be as pale as possible.

"Oh man, I must've dropped the money somewhere," he muttered just loud enough for the waitress to hear.  "I could've sworn I brought it this morning... shit.  What the hell am I gonna do?"

[Carthrat]

The girl tut-tutted. "Well, you're in trouble then, aren't you?" She gave a little laugh.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok concentrated on a particular spot on the floor right above his feet, twiddling his index fingers as he attempted a blush.

"I guess I am..." he said sheepishly. "So what's in store for us?  What's gonna happen?"

[Carthrat]

"Well.. a little too much, perhaps?"

The waitress giggled. It was always fun when someone didn't pay..

[Kwokinator]

Kwok sighed.  Maybe they WEREN'T going to get away with it...

"Alright," he said with a softer sigh. "I guess I deserve it for being careless and dropping my own money."

"Just..." he continued, sparing a quick but obvious look at Ami. "Leave her out of it.  This is my fault, not hers."

[Carthrat]

"Convince someone who cares," replied the waitress, still smiling cutely.

Giggling, she ran off into the tavern kitchen..

[Kwokinator]

"Well, that went somewhat worse than I hoped it would," Kwok smiled at Ami as he sat back down. "I've tried almost everything I know, so let's just wait and see if I get my ass kicked or not..."

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Gomen minna for forgetting to tell you all... I knew I missed someone.  Due to my vacation in Florida, it's going to be HARD to get OL to post... I'll post when I can, and I'll be back around the 29th Full Time... K?

IC: "Don't worry... hopefully it won't be too bad, like maybe doing dishes or something." Ryder reminded...

Yeah right... that girl looks WAY too happy for it to be dishwashing...

[Kwokinator]

OOC:  No problem.  Enjoy the vacation ^_^

IC: Kwok rolled his eyes at Ryder.

"Right," he said disbelievingly. "And how many people do you know that giggle when they go off to do the dishes?"

"It shouldn't be too bad though," he continued. "She seems like a really nice person."

[Carthrat]

Even as Miroku spoke his last words, there was a cry of rage from within the kitchen, followed by very fast-paced words, filled with rather... threatening implications.

There was a sudden slam from behind, and somebody had shoved a table in front of the tavern door.

Quite a few people's faces turned pale, but even more looked up, seemingly brightened by the forthcoming prospect..

Two men walked out from where the waitress had entered. Both were very large. Both had cruel looks on their faces. One was tapping a cane on his shoulder; the other had fists that looked like granite boulders.

The both looked towards Miroku and Ami, and their faces crackled into identicle, evil grins.

They started moving towards the two, and the entire tavern hushed in anticipation..
