008 ~*~ At least she can't drink and fly...

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Action : Olney's Tavern : Open ]
[ If you're a regular at the bar, you might notice a new sigth in one of the stools. A tall red-haired Chinese woman in a plain green dress is making herself right at home, even if the drone workers don't particularly care about serving her anything other than weak, fruity, feminine drinks.

That doesn't mean she hasn't been trying to sweet-talk them into it for the better part of an hour. And by sweet-talk, I mean whining pitifully because she really doesn't want to get thrown out for taking matters into her own hands. ] --c'mo~on. Can't you just pour me something a little stronger? I'm going to need a whole lot more than this. [ She remarks, fingernail grazing the edge of the colorful cocktail glass. ]

[ Action : Around Town : Open ]
[ Later, no matter how much she had to work at it, she managed to get herself sufficiently smashed (for a short while, at least)! You can encounter her:

1) Wandering the neighborhood, humming some old tune to herself as she sways.
2) Attempting to enter your home and not realizing why her stupid key isn't working...
3) Napping on your front lawn. ]

Oh, man, the one I fought was like a giant lizard with a long neck and purple hot pants.

It's finger was bigger than me.

[Shaking his head.]

[not_so_great_wall]

You mean it had fingers instead of claws? [ She's teasing, at this point, finding the banter oddly liberating. ] Must've been a sight.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fingers. I tore one right the ☠☠☠☠ off. (http://marvel.wikia.com/File:Captain_fighting_foom.jpg)

[Man, that wasn't the best of memories but hey... it wasn't the worse either and she was good company.]

He was trying to stuff my teammate down his pants. I've seen some crazy ☠☠☠☠.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Sympathy pain, she shakes her hand and flexes her fingers. ] That's painful! --and weird.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

It'd be like a fly landed on your finger and ripped it the ☠☠☠☠ off.

[Pouring them both another drink. Frowning at the nearly empty bottle.]

So, yeah, about flying. You want to try it?

[not_so_great_wall]

[ That is a hilarious mental image, but she shakes her head at him when he asks. ] I already know how! So do most of the youkai from Gensokyo. I just can't fly here, yet, even though I got my body back.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Your body back?

[It took him a bit to get his flight back too. So he knows how that goes.]

[not_so_great_wall]

Yep! I had some weak human body when I first got here -- not that anyone could tell. [ A drink. ] Now I'm much better!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You're stronger now too?

[Topping her off one last time along with himself.]

[not_so_great_wall]

Y~~ep! [ Nodding slowly. ] I can heal faster and move easier, too. Which is great because my center was off for weeks and it made training frustrating...

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

What do you train?

[Leaning back. Yeah, things were more comfortable now that he has his powers.]

[not_so_great_wall]

The 108 movements, of course! [ Humming tunelessly a moment. ] Thinking about starting a class for it, soon, in a park or so.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

108 movements? That like dancing?

[not_so_great_wall]

Kiiiinda. It could look like it, to someone who doesn't know what tai chi is, I guess. [ Sip. ]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

... I wouldn't go teaching sex stuff in the park.

[Dead serious.]

[not_so_great_wall]

[ This look. ] --huh? Who would do that?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I don't know...

Wait... what's Tie-chee then?

[not_so_great_wall]

Taijiquan-- [ She said with more effort (read: any) on the pronunciation... which is harder with a mild slur. ] Is a martial art! The 108 movements are the... I guess "forms" for..

Ah, I'll just show you. [ And she'll stand up, move next to the table and do semi-drunken practice right there. People are probably staring. ]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[He claps like he is seeing a show.]

Oh, cool, that karate stuff.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ She stops and laughs before plopping down into a seat. ] Nooot exactly, but sure! I guess explaining it to everyone one-at-a-time's kind of bad. Which is why I want to have a class!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

That's probably smart.

I don't know what I'd ever teach, so I'll stick to fighting for them instead of with them.

[not_so_great_wall]

Fighting for who? Do you have friends here? [ Did she already ask? ]
