Two for Tea?

[thousandcurses]

Characters: Izanami and YOU
Location: Cafeteria
Format: I'll switch to match you, but action is preferred!
Summary: Izanami has been in a good mood since the collar event. So, she's sharing that happiness by sharing some tea she made!
Warnings: None!

[Izanami had changed. That much is fact. Although still as reserved as before, the air around her is much less tense and bitter. Indeed, the calm and quiet smile she wears is much happier. She has, after all, reconciled with her husband after centuries, and the future is bright enough for her. She will one day be reunited with her husband. And it's with these thoughts that she sits at a table, happily having made some green tea. A small amount of fire magic keeps it warm, so that she can share it should anyone like to join her. She's in the mood for company, and perhaps she can understand the other residents a little bit better now.]

[ after a few days in the Tower, Cecil has stopped visiting every floor and has resigned himself to just a few--and the cafeteria is, naturally, one of them. no armor, but Excalibur still hangs at his side. upon seeing her, his curiosity awakens, and he wanders over with curious eyes. ]

Greetings.

[thousandcurses]

Good day.

[She will gesture to the seat across from her. She recognizes curiosity well, and she will indulge it readily.]

Join me?

[mythgravenblade]

I would be honored.

[ he bows his head lightly, and sits across from her politely. she invited him seemingly out of the blue--if she's not waiting for a specific person to come across and spend time with her, she must be waiting for a new person, or a possible new connection. in the Tower, he supposes there are quite a few people... getting to know others through this sort of casual greeting seems nice, and like a respite in the light of other horrors and fears. ]

I am Cecil Harvey.

[thousandcurses]

Izanami.

[No, she isn't. She needs to learn how to read people, how to actually interact with them. So far, so good. She's still overly friendly, like when she was the attendant.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Cecil Harvey.

[terrificmachoemperor]

[Oh you wanted nice people who would enjoy this right?! WOOPS YOU GOT KANJI. He had been on his way here to make his own (much more manly) tea when he had walked in when Izanami had been there.

...so Yu was right. There she was. And she had a collar. It left an incredibly bitter taste in his mouth. Kanji just looked at her from a distance like he might have wanted to murder her...if he could. This entire place better not be a test from her, because the hell if he couldn't somehow get a God to Get Bent™.]

[thousandcurses]

[Oh. She recognizes him. She remembers the whispered rumors about him that she would overhear when she worked at the gas station. She can't say either way if it's good to see him, especially judging by his expression. However, she won't be rude.]

Are you surprised to see me living?

I had to use this icon

[terrificmachoemperor]

[Kanji grabs a nearby chair and loudly sits into it, crossing his arms before speaking. He's...still pretty far from where she is having his tea, mind you, but he doesn't want to get too close. At least, not yet.]

You have a collar.

[He had assumed when Yu spoke about her, but seeing it with it around her neck, it clears all his doubts.]

Nah, honestly I'm way more pissed that your here and not all my friends and Ma.

[capax_infiniti]

[Sometimes it is just impossible to ignore the demands of his body, and Xehanort does submit to hunger and thirst on occasion. He hasn't got anyone trained well enough to make things for him - that will come in its own time. While the cafeteria isn't ideal, it is a fast source of food, and not having to deal with its preparation is a bonus.

He's used to seeing people doing unusual things, but the person sitting with tea warmed over a fire is interesting enough to draw his attention for the moment. He walks over slowly, giving her a moment to acknowledge his approach in whatever fashion she desires.]

[thousandcurses]

[If only he knew how strange a person she was, since this isn't even her true form. In fact, her true form probably wouldn't fit in the Tower. Ah, well. Her funerary kimono is comfortable enough, and she can hide her decay better this way. She is sipping her own cup of tea, and hasn't yet met Xehanort.

But perhaps the fact he can't sense anything from her would get his attention?]

[capax_infiniti]

[It does, although it's more what he does pick up - that shifting, hazy fog shrouding everything, casting shadows and sifting light in equal parts. There's nothing definite about her. It's almost infuriating, but at the same time it's a mystery, a challenge.

People are too easily readable about the positions of their hearts. It's been a while since he's had to work to figure out someone's leanings.]

What tea are you drinking? It smells wonderful.

[pitiedthefool]

[Sure, Izanami might be in a good enough mood- but since the collar event all he's wanted to do was stay in the showers though he felt as though tens of thousands of showers would never make him clean... Yet there is the basic human need of nourishment, so he had pulled himself from his studies in the more "user-friendly" library and came down to the cafeteria only to see the familiar goddess.

Yes, he was still vaguely surprised to see her, but after the fragments of memory he could recall... Yu is less than sure about how to react,given their history and fully realizing who his Persona is.]

[thousandcurses]

[She won't react visibly. But she is quite glad to see him back to normal, even if she won't say anything. She will, though, pour some tea. Want to join her, Yu?]

[pitiedthefool]

[Oh, you gods and your trolling ways. He hesitates for a brief moment, but decides to join her however briefly. With his curiosity getting the better of him, it was rather simple which choice he would make since he couldn't well run from the truth Izanagi would haunt him in his dreams if he did.]

...Izanami-sama. [Is it obvious that it's awkward? Because it really, truly is. Especially since he feels Izanagi-no-Okami the strongest in his mind, even when it is another in the forefront of his mind. Down, boy.]

[littlemissnobody]

[Really, Dawn should know better than to approach a Goddess. But of course, that would require her to know that Izanami is a Goddess and that she can't know by sight alone. And so she heads over, glass of water in hand]

Is anyone sitting here?

[thousandcurses]

No. Would you like to join me?

[She will look up momentarily, offering a small smile.]

[littlemissnobody]

Um, sure. If you're sure you don't mind.

[And she sits, getting herself comfortable before introducing herself]

I'm Dawn.

[mutab1e]

[So basically, if you've ever been in the cafeteria before, you've seen Equius. He's there practically all day long. And today he has poked his head out of the back kitchen for once, attracted by a smell he can now recognize coming from one of the tables.]

...Tea?

[thousandcurses]

Correct. It's simple green tea, but tea nonetheless.

[And she has other cups.]

[mutab1e]

Ah.

[Stupid England. Trolls should not be addicted to tea, trolls shouldn't even have tea, but he is and now he's engaging people in conversation and it's all your fault.]

[In the meantime...]

...May I have some?

[oldmannomore]

[John heads down to the cafeteria, stomach grumbling a little. He goes and fixes himself a sandwich, but stops when he spots the older-looking woman. He heads over in her direction, pleased that at least it's not another teenager. Not that he wants them there, but at least it's someone closer to his age (though probably still with a large gap) and that a kid hasn't been taken in her place.]

Mind if I join you?

[thousandcurses]

[Oh, it is likely quite a large gap. She's thousands of years old, at least.]

You are welcome to. Would you like some tea?

[oldmannomore]

Tea sounds nice, thanks.

[It's been a while since he just drank tea - coffee is usually more of his thing - but he can deal with it to be polite. He sits down, setting his sandwich aside.]

My name's John. What's your name?

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki, having been bed ridden for almost a week due to blood sickness was finally up and about again. He had went to the cafeteria to find some food. He had two apples in his hand and was looking for somewhere to sit. He spotted the the lady making tea and smiled at her.]

[thousandcurses]

[She'll smile back and gesture for the seat. Come on and join her. She won't bite or kill you or anything.]

[notagiraffe]

[Eyes flickering nervously he smiled and made his way to come and sit on the seat next to her.] Hello...
