[Thread PL: 8552] … “David, you doing okay up there? Heard the cold can freeze through a lump of meat in seconds.” An older man spoke through Darkus’s earpiece with a sense of amusement. The joking was obvious, and it helped give Darkus that little nudge of a smile he usually gave. It was cool in the Northern Capital. Not what he was used to, or what he really particularly liked. Still though, the young man strolled through parts of the suburbia and took in the sight of mountains and trees. He was wearing his normal wear, shirt and jeans, with a spoofy winter coat to go over him. He put on a smile and played the part of David well enough. “It’s not that cold, Gus. But you wouldn’t want to be in one of your bikinis up here.” His cold-cut and completely void of sarcasm snark tone made even Gus, the man on the other side, hesitate in talking back. “Wha-... Nevermind. What were you doing up there again? You know you’re suppose to be visiting Emilia tomorrow, and your boss isn’t going to like it if you keep taking your ‘sick days’.” His voice turned with the gruff but cheery masculine husk to a more serious and authoritative tone. “Looking out, and maybe picking up some presents for my sister.” Darkus replied, walking by a few people going the opposite way. One of which gave him looks as Darkus almost looked like he was talking to himself. “Do you have the new training stuff set up, Gus?”“Ha, you think I’d be lazy? Nuh uh, no siree. I put that thing up as soon as it came in earlier today. Even got the miss show-my-skin to plug up the systems.” Darkus blinked at the response, taking a hard right turn on the sidewalk to start down another sidewalk. “How did you manage that?” “Oh, getting her to work? I got persuasive.” Gus chuckled hoarsely over the other side, though it sounded muffled. Like he was trying to hold it back. “You’re not suppose to be hurting her.” As stoic as ever, Gus stopped his laughing after hearing it. “You know-”“Yeah, yeah. I didn’t hurt her, David. That’d be stupid.” The man cut him off before he could finish. “Right… Stupid…”

Tomare walks the streets of the North Capital, only being here once or twice.. not really exploring the cities so much as the nature but this city was peaceful and nice, she liked it. She might move here with Jarvis one day.. but she would prefer to have a house on the mountains. She doesn't know her way around and she is trying to find a place to get some food for herself, as she is rather hungry. She looks around for a while, not finding anything of the sort..
She eventually comes along a man, a human most likely because of the lack of tail. She slowly approaches the man, her tail around her waist and a smile across her lips.. she says as she is walking "Hey. Um.. do you know your way to any restaurant?"

Darkus stopped a little short of running into the woman, blinking down at her. His earpiece was still on the line. "Hey David, mind telling me when we can expect you ba-" Gus was trying to respond to him again, but this new woman was getting his attention.
"Can I call you back, Gus?" He'd 'ask' before forcing the earpiece to hang up on the old man. Raising a hand to his ear to press on it. "Sorry about that!" Already Darkus was starting to apologize to the stranger, rubbing the back of his neck and nervously laughing. A bit of red showed on his face from embarrassment. "Hungry? I could use something to eat too... Excuse my ramblings, yeah I think I know of a few places." He slowly relaxed and offered a hand to her for a shake. "The name's David. Nice to meet you." he doesn't seem to mind the tail, but eyes it for a moment.
"Never been in the city before? I can show you around, but I've only visited myself." He seemed more friendly sounding the more he talked.

She smiles at him as he apologizes to her, seeing this apology as meaningless. She listens to him speak about being hungry as well and also his name being David. "My name is Tomare, also known as Mystic Tail. Call me whichever, I dont mind." She continues to smile at the other. "And I have been here before, but I only walked the alleys.."

He lowers his hand after a no-go on the shake. Doesn't seem to affect how he is expressing himself though. "Mystic Tail, that's a good one. Nice to meet you anyways Tomare." He seems to have settled down now and looks around himself. "Why do you use alleyways...- Nevermind, if you follow me I can show you some of the restaurants. Or do you want directions?" He wasn't sure how busy Tomare might be, or was going to be. A frown flashes over his face for just a moment as something beeps in his ear again, but instead of answering it he presses a button again to keep it on hold.
"Any certain kind of food you are wanting?" He'd also slip that question in there afterwards, quickly as to keep things going.

'Its nice to meet you too David." She smiles at him once again. "And I can just follow you, because we just met and I like meeting some new people." She crosses her arms slowly with a smile still on her face. "And I dont care what type of food we get, im pretty up for anything at the moment.." Her stomach growls and she rubs it a few times.

"Tagging along it is. Come on then." Darkus gestured with his hand, finger pulling towards him in a 'come hither' sort of motion as he passed by her and started walking on his way. Keeping down to the sidewalk and turning right as soon as he could. The more he walked that way, the more people started appearing around them. Buildings got bigger, and streets more crowded. Before they hit anything major though he glanced back at her. Assuming she'd just follow behind. "So, you're Saiyan?" He more so commented than asked. "Haven't met that many."
He'd continue walking, cars zooming by and people walking with or against their path. Signs often for advertisement. The stopped every so often to take a look inside the few restaurants. Burger shoppe, a pizza place, some more exotic cuisines, and more local stuff. Most looked appetizing, but the price was a little too much for him. he settled on a classic food stop with a bar and the stools. A very general menu with just about anything on it. And it was relatively cheap, good on someone's wallet. Darkus stopped at this and looked inside it from a window. "How does this look to you, huh?"

Tomare turns herself around and follows close behind him, her arms at her waist and her tail swaying lightly in the wind. She listens to him ask her if she is a Saiyan and she nods her head. "Yes, I am a Saiyan. Im guessing the tail gave it away, huh?" She lets out a quiet chuckle as she continues to follow behind him.
She looks at all of the restaurants they pass, all of them making her stomach growl and her drool.. she wants to stop at all of them but she cant.. she stops with him as he stops at the food stop.. and she nods her head at him as he asks him if this works. "Yes, im hungry for anything, like I said."

"Okay, okay. Sorry, I'm eating cheap. I need my money." He'd chuckle nervously and open the door for the two of them to walk in. It wasn't busy quite yet, but there were a few others sitting up at the counter already eating. Behind the counter were a pair of lovely gentlemen in aprons, apparently the waiter. This pair was both taking orders and cooking it, probably in a certain pattern. Like taking turns in a sport. behind them even was a whole kitchen with several other cooks. Whatever it was they were each selectively cooking it all blended into a weird yet hunger-inducing fast-food aroma. Darkus was certainly taking a liking to it as he stepped forward to the bar with a smile on his face.
"Oh, hello there!~" One of the waiters behind the counter called out to the two of them. "Come, sit! We'll be right with you!" As kind as most people working in food would be.
"Thank you sir." He'd give them a nod and take a seat at the count, turning in his stool to face Tomare. "They seem nice enough."

She walks in before him and nods, signalling a 'thank you' for holding the door open for her. She looks around the place and smiles lightly, taking in a small breath of air.. smelling the food on the inside.. she drools a bit as she sees him walk over to the counter and takes a seat, she takes a seat next to him and watches him turn to her. "Yes, they seem nice.. I hope the food is good here.. I hope they can make alot of it." She smiles at David.

Darkus nodded at her and smiled again. "Oh, I've been here a few years ago. When I last visited. New chefs, but I know they have some very nice burgers and fries. Quantity, we'll just have to see." The other waiter came on around to them with a small device in his hand, ready for them. There was a name-tag on his apron, "Justin" as it was written. Up close you could see he was even younger than what you probably would have guessed someone working here would have been. Black hair jelled and combed back with piercing blue eyes. He was maybe a little too young looking though.
"Hello you two, and welcome to Gushers! Are either of you ready to order?" Darkus looked up to him with a smile, but shook his head. The two did just get there after all.
"Go ahead and get some others who are waiting, we'll be a moment!" The waiter looked between him and Tomare and gave a bow before moving onto someone next to them. It gave him time to look at the menus stacked on the bar, just in front of them. Opening it would reveal a world of different choices. Categories from Meats, to salads, to sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, entrees, deserts, beverages, and alcoholic drinks. There was even a cute little kids meal section for the younger ones. "Mmm. Not sure on what I want really." he'd comment, mostly waiting on Tomare to decide on her own.

She looks at the menu and raises an eyebrow, not knowing what she wants.. "Do you think they would be mad if I ordered like.. 5 pizzas?" She looks at David with a small smile, hoping that she can do that.. hoping that David has the zeni to do so. Her tail wraps around her waist slowly.

"Five... pizzas..." He stared at her for a moment, chuckling at the thought. here he was, thinking she had money for her own damned food when she comes up with that ridiculous case. "I mean, you can. But you'll need to pay that yourself." He seemed hard pressed to remain in character. Pausing for just a moment. "... Sorry." He looked away and back to his menu, embarrassed and red in the face. "Unless you... just came up to me with the intention of free food." Justin came back around with his device still in hand, ready to take orders. Darkus looked on up to him again, nodding.
"It'll be one large pizza for me. Give me the supreme topping, sir. Also, a glass of water." The man seems to type some numbers out on his little thing as he listened. Nodding with every other word Darkus said.
"And you, ma'am?" The waiter turned to Tomare with the same sort of customer-friendly smile.

"Oh David, I have zeni on me, I can pay for it, dont you worry." She lets out a light giggle as she can see the nervousness in his face with his red face. She listens to Darkus order his food and nods.. then she looks at Justin and smiles lightly before saying. "I want 5 pizzas please, supreme topping." She continues to smile at the waiter, wrapping her tail around her waist.

Justin took a moment to put that in, and frowned. Halting as he made sure he got that right. "Five... pizzas, miss?" He would asked, a little bewildered. Ahh, youth were so charming with their naiveness and ignorance. "Anything to drink with that?" Darkus himself chuckled at the young man's amazement.
"People think I eat a lot with one pizza to myself. Two sometimes, but I do always tell them I'm no Saiyan." Darkus would comment before getting a glass of water from the other young man running behind the counter. "Thanks." he directed towards the second man, almost of the same exact look except having the name-tag "Tim".
