Tokyo Ghoul rp - It's not a sin to live. (Rp thread! Sign-up link inside)

After a moment Shiori's mouth spread into a lop-sided grin, he was still panting after the run."And that dove sounded so confident he would win too. It's a shame-" He leaned on the wall, supporting himself with his arm. The adrenaline was beginning to wear off, and stiffness began to set in. He ignored it mostly, and focused instead on slowing his breathing down.

ooc: I guess I forgot to log out. oops

ic: Shiori nodded slightly, agreeing. "I can say the same for you. We know now how ruthless they can be." He blinked his eyes back to their human color, and raked his hand through his hair. "They even saw me at work, I'm gonna have to lay low for a while." He huffed in annoyance, eyebrows furrowed. He rummaged in his pocket for a cigarette and lit one, his movements a little jerky from the exhaustion.

Shiori took a long drag and blew a few puffs of smoke. "Somehow, I don't think she cares." He shut his eyes for a moment before looking at Setsuna. "I do agree though, she'll probably regret her choice later when she finds herself constantly on the run. While one-eyed ghouls are extremely formidable, even they have to sleep."

Shiori blew a puff of air as he straightened his jacket out. "Yeah. That probably wasn't a very good idea in retrospect." His teeth peeked out from between his lips and cigarette in a small grin, and his eyes looked less tired now that the mood was lightening.This is refreshing. He thought briefly.

ooc: I'm trying to get Jokerz Wild to get back on, but she's kinda busy lately. She said she'll probably be back soon though. just btw

"Well its nice to meet you Kyou, welcome to our club. Go ahead, make yourself at home," Sinclair said warmly, well as warmly as his grumbly, monotone voice would allow. Even though his demeanor was rather cold and a little threatening, it was apparent that he what he said was genuine by the slight softening of his stony face. "If your a friend of Takuma's your a friend of ours as well," Riva chimed in. Immediately after all the introductions were over, Takuma began jabbering about his heroics earlier. He was getting very charismatic with it, almost spilling his beer as he waved his hands in the air, poorly mimicking the fight between the ghouls. Some of the waitresses were all gathered around him as they ooh-ed and ahhh-ed at his theatric retelling. Even Sinclair chuckled at his antics, and then Riva decided to join in on the fun too, making some playful remarks about his exaggerated account of the events earlier that day.

Shiori listened quietly until she finished speaking, holding his now stub of a cigarette between two pale fingers. "I just ate yesterday, so technically I don't need to eat again..." He paused and dropped his cigarette, snuffing the embers with his foot. " Though I'd be glad to come along." He pushed himself off the wall, taking his time. "And about the Aogiri and the One-eyed ghoul-" He added, shoving his hands in his pockets. "-I wouldn't worry about them too much right now. I'm sure they have bigger game to kill than two random ghouls."

Kyou nodded gratefully. "Thank you. It's nice to meet you too." He replied, still slightly uncomfortable in the bar. The people here seem nice enough, so it can't be that bad. he thought absentmindedly. He assumed it'd be rude to leave right away so instead he sat down in one of the little booths near the group, but far enough that he'd probably not be noticed too much.

Riva noticed Kyou was distancing himself from the loud group, and looking slightly uncomfortable. He looked to be a shy kid, and it wasn't very good of a hostess to let the guest just sit idle by themselves. After Takuma was on his third mug of beer, she gave him a pat on the back as he slumped against the bar counter, still shamelessly chatting up the other hostesses. "Isn't he a cute one?" she said pointing in Kyou's direction, "I just wanna eat him up. But he looks rather lonely all by himself, so why don't we give the poor kid some company. After all we are the hosts, and he's probably scared sh*tless after that fight between the two one-eyed ghouls." Sinclair gave a nod, as he was done entertaining his drunken friend for some information on the one-eyed ghouls. The pair walked over to the booth Kyou was in and took the seat across from him. "Hey Kyou, you seem like a nice guy, why don't we get to know one another a little bit better?" Riva said with a friendly smile. Sinclair sat beside her stone faced but attentive none the less. "Tell us a little bit about your self, where are you from, what do you do, you know, stuff like that." To a stranger the trio would have probably looked quite friendly with one another, when really there were two scary mafioso ghouls who were complete strangers to the kid sitting across from them. But Riva didn't care, as she was starting to take a liking to this innocent and timid human being, like he was a puppy she felt she should shelter. Sinclair even noticed this slight change in her behavior, making a small smile appear on his face for a moment.

"Well, I'm was originally from Okazaki but moved here for school... I don't have a job yet-" He admitted a little sheepishly."-but anyways, I've been studying photography mostly." As he spoke, he began to relax in his seat. Riva's gregariousness gave the dim bar a brighter, more inviting quality." What about you guy's?" He asked, the question mostly directed at Riva since Sinclair seemed to be more of a silent type.

(( Quick question, what has been the going ons of this thread as of recently? I just want to know so I don't just barge in and make it all aquard and wired. ))

Shiori smirked, "Now you're trying to get rid of me? I'm offended Setsuna." He joked, making a mock surprised face. He began walking towards the mouth of the alleyway that connected to the street before looking over his shoulder, suddenly more serious. "Be careful Setsuna, they know your face now. I'll see you later." I hope. He added internally.

ooc: So far Shiori and Setsuna met in an alley after Shiori killed and ate a guy, Seto and Nich went looking for Setsuna and found them in the bookstore where Shiori works. Shibi(idk if the person who rp's them will be back but i'll include them anyways.) and Ophelia, the two one-eyed ghouls got in a fight which also injured Nich( again, not sure if they'll be back). Seto followed Shiori and Setsuna and then confronted them in a fight along with Nich. During the fight Ophelia intervened and is now attacking Seto. Shiori and Setsuna escaped. Kyou almost got involved with the fight between the one-eyed ghouls but was rescued by Takuma who took him to a bar/club he visits often, which happens to be run by some mobster-like ghouls, Sinclair and Riva. If I missed anything somebody can add on.
