[ Athena had a shift today at the cosplay cafe, and she was really excited about it! It was always fun being there, since she gets to meet a lot of people. Free food was also involved sometimes, and that was the best part.

…

But today was a bust.

She was even excited to talk to customers with a pirate accent, since that was what she was cosplaying as today. A pirate! You just can't have it all.

Instead of just waiting inside for people to come in, she goes out into the street just by the cafe. She wasn't finishing her work today without showing off her cute costume. Holding out her fake sword and pointing it at any person who passes by, she exclaims: ]

It's into the cafe or Davy Jones' Locker, ye knave!

[ Marketing strategies!

Of course, anyone who works at the cosplay cafe is also free to stop her from possibly embarrassing herself and the establishment. ]

[ It wasn't even that late! It was just an hour or so before sundown, but a police officer robot thing approaches Athena and tells her to go home. She's not even sure why she's being told to do so, when she's not even a minor. Was it because she was little? Whatever the reason, she felt very insulted by this. ]

I'm on my way to buy some food!

[ But the officer seemed very insistent that she should go home before sundown since it wasn't safe. "Look, kid. You better head home before dark, or else you could get in trouble." ]

I'm not a kid!

[ And if it wasn't her stating that she wants to buy food that could catch someone's attention, it's her yelling that she's not a kid, because she can be loud. Now is one of those times.

Again, the officer continues to believe in its own opinion that Athena is much younger than she truly is, and decides to walk her home that very instant, grabbing her by the wrist. But Athena doesn't take kindly to people giving her unwanted physical contact. She quickly grabs the officer's wrist then moves to turn, her back facing the cop, then she crouches as she pulls its arm to throw him to the ground.

… But she may have thrown her a bit too far. The officer probably hits an innocent passer-by or the space very close to said passer-by.

Oops? ]

[ Or just tag with whatever! ]

[ Obligatory permissions post because Athena is a human lie detector. ]

Oh my gosh!

[ Yang didn't seem to get hit, but it does fill Athena with concern. Who cares about that cop, right? ]

Are you okay? [ She rushes to Yang, and feels relieved once she gets a closer look. ] That guy really had it coming!

[ No one loves robots in this place, apparently. But Yang's already grinning and holding up both hands. ]

I'm fine! You were the one who hurled that? You've got some good arm strength!

[ The police officer gets up and dusts himself off, then shoots a glare at Athena before walking away. And the mature response that Athena gave was to blow a raspberry at his general direction.

Then she looks back at Yang. ]

Y- Yeah... I trained a lot back in Europe. Self-defense is important, after all!

No kidding! [ she is all for this, raising a fist into the air. ] It's fun when they think you're helpless, because their faces just change when they realize you're not.
