When: December 18-19th
Where: Various
What: Pekoyama and Kuzuryuu doing Pekoyama and Kuzuryuu things including (but not limited to) playing darts, handing out sweets at the cosplay café, and hanging out in the dojo. Also a post in which Peko has a million costume changes while Kuzuryuu has none.

Kuzuryuu
A. Gardens
[If you happen to be visiting the gardens today, perhaps enjoying a nice walk, you may notice this kid sitting on one of the benches. He doesn’t really appear to be doing much of anything though...he doesn’t even have that look that people sometimes get when they’re waiting for somebody. Maybe he’s just here to enjoy the scenery? Or is he people watching, it’s kind of hard to tell. Maybe it’s both. Because he may end up glancing your way at some point if you seem to be doing something interesting.]
[Or you may run into him by the edge of one of the lakes, where he’s looking curiously into the water. What are the chances of koi fish living in a weird alien colony pond? He’s guessing the chances are not high, but who knows. Maybe he’ll be surprised.]
B. Game Center
[While Kuzuryuu and Peko tend to work at the casino on the same day, their hours don’t always perfectly line up. And that’s fine, since they’re trying not to be too attached at the hip anyway. Though sometimes it leads to the situation Kuzuryuu finds himself in now: his shift is over but Peko’s isn’t. It almost just seems rude not to wait for her when she’ll be done in a just a few hours.]
[So after he inevitably gets bored of leaning on a wall by the entrance to the downstairs casino, he decides to while away the rest of the time by playing a very rousing game of darts...alone. Because there’s nothing more fun than that, clearly. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his aim is just the tiniest bit off, though he does seem to be trying to figure out how to correct for that.]
Pekoyama
C. Cosplay café
[Whether or not your character is the type to frequent this kind of establishment, there’s no missing one Peko Pekoyama standing awkwardly a few feet away from the entrance, near the street. Normally she works inside, where she can safely assume that only a scattered few of her classmates might wander in. Not so today -- it seems that, from the tray of cutely decorated snacks in her hand, she’s there as advertisement.
Though the choice of costume really leaves something to be desired in the advertising department. People are going to get the totally wrong impression from her French maid outfit, and she’ll be quick to correct anyone who might assume that she’s working at a maid café. It’s a cosplay café. Because that somehow makes it better.
When she thinks no one’s looking, she might reach up every now and then to touch the fake black cat ears nestled between her braids, as if adjusting their position. A more careful observer might notice that she’s not fixing them -- she’s petting them. And that’s a little sad, though if she catches anyone looking, she’s quick to resume her professional demeanor.]
Would you like a free sample?
[Her cute outfit doesn’t match her expression, though. Her lips are curved downward into what seems to be a severe frown as she offers the tray to anyone who might look at her too long. Please, oh please, be a complete stranger. It’s fine to retreat, too, since that sure does look like a sword in the bag on her back. What kind of maid carries a sword...]
D. Various bookshops
[Now dressed normally(?) in her usual sailor suit uniform, Peko seems to be gravitating toward two specific areas in each bookshop she enters. In spite of the sword in the bag on her back, she doesn’t seem to be paying any attention to technical manuals or anything having to do with swords or weapons in general. Instead, she seems torn between two different sections -- one is cookbooks, the other is animals.
Either way, she seems to be giving these books a more intense stare than any piece of literature really should be given. Like seriously, what kind of loser reads an animal encyclopedia with that kind of fervor? Save Her.]
Double the Yakuza, Double the (No-)Fun
E. Gymnasium Dojo
[With Kuzuryuu’s arrival, there’ve been a few changes to Peko’s schedule, but, perhaps unsurprisingly, not too many. There just happens to be an extra person present for some of her routines. One of which is her frequent visits to the dojo to practice kendo, wearing her usual black kendo uniform. She didn’t get to being the Super High School Level without actually working for it, after all, and with Kuzuryuu here, she has even more motivation to improve.]
[And Kuzuryuu...well he just seems to be here because Peko is, because he’s certainly not training or anything. He’s just sitting on the sidelines while she practices, keeping absolutely quiet and just watching. Feel free to join him or perhaps ask Peko if she’s willing to spar, because he’s clearly not busy and that’s obviously part of the reason she’s here.]
[Or maybe you run into them a little later on while they’re taking a break at the juice bar. Peko looks a little sweaty and out of breath, but probably happier than most people have ever seen her. Someone glancing in their direction just might notice the elusive small Peko smile, or hear a weird noise that-- actually sounds like a fairly pleasant, if quiet, laugh. Who knew Peko could make those kinds of noises. Who knows what they’re talking about over there, but clearly they need to be interrupted.]
F. Wildcard
[Or, feel free to run into the two of them elsewhere. Maybe as they’re heading back to their apartments after a shift at the casino, or hanging out at the food stalls trying to figure out what to do for lunch. Quite possibly you found them just wandering aimlesssly around the shopping or entertainment districts, who really knows.]

no subject
It's good to see you too, Pekoyama. How's your training been going?
[He addresses this to Kuzuryuu as well, since he's been here watching and all--]
no subject
[The question may be half addressed to him, but apparently he's going to let Peko answer it. Considering it's her training and all and he's just a guest-spectator.]
no subject
It has been going well. It has become rather crowded here, as of late, with so many new people arriving...
Did you come to train?
[???? Want to run laps or go swimming, Hinata?? It'll be fun!]
no subject
Ah-- not exactly, I was just on my way back and I decided to look in...
Though I haven't trained today, so I probably should later.
[HE SHOULDN'T SLACK...]
no subject
Why wait? You could always grab a shinai and give Peko something more interesting to do than kata.
[He's mostly joking. When in doubt, rib on Hinata.]
[Since when does Hinata train, though? This is a somewhat surprising development. But at the same time, it's also not because from the sounds of that Haven place...he'd probably start doing the same thing more often too.]
no subject
What kind of training do you do here?
[BUT BOCCHAN PLS... Peko just gives him a bit of a Look at that. Don't goad Hinata into sparring with her, he'll probably get hurt... unless whatever this training he's doing would make him proficient enough? Now she's curious!]
no subject
Mostly I just do weights, punching bags and the ellipticals. [He jabs with a thumb off toward another section of the gym. You can't really tell with Hinata's clothes on any given day but he's kept himself in good shape. Because he actually can do that here...
And, after a moment, quieter:] I usually do any weapon training around the back of my apartment...
no subject
Hm? What kind of weapon training?
no subject
Depending on what it is, she might even be a little proud of Hinata for taking those kinds of steps! So she's not going to interrupt, instead listening with clear interest to find out what he's been doing.]
no subject
It feels a little odd to tell his friends about this, what he's learned while they've been apart. That he is weapons-savvy now. Oh, he can downplay his (admittedly ill-gained in some respect, surgery and such) skills all he wants, but he's capable.] Well... I've used a knife most, apart from an iron pipe. [#survivalhorrorlyfe]
But I've also got a spear. Then, me and Zohra practiced hand-to-hand fighting in Haven, and I've been working on that ever since... and I took a katana from those robots that were hunting down people once... And me and Komaeda practice firing blanks from the pistol I have...
no subject
So a little bit of everything from the sounds of it. Not bad.
[Consider him impressed.]
no subject
[Still not exactly thrilled with the idea of Komaeda handling firearms anywhere around Hinata, but if it's true that Hinata's able to defend himself... she does feel a little better about their living situation, now.
Proud of u, protag.]
If you find yourself in need of extra training with the sword...
[You know where to find her.]
Though there are many other talented fighters here that I trust enough to recommend you to, if you would like.
no subject
[--to Kuzuryuu. But, that's a story for another time. Or after some more prodding. (Also, spoilers: Hinata's the one who made him take the pistol in the first place, because Komaeda's not exactly the best fighter tbqh.)]
But if... you're all right with me, Pekoyama, then maybe sometime we can practice.
no subject
[This sounds suspiciously like magical bullshit. Hinata please don't have gotten mixed up in magical bullshit. Why.]
no subject
But she's quiet, glancing toward Kuzuryuu before back to Hinata. This is news to her, too! "Aura"...]
no subject
Well... it's an ability that people from her world have? Aura's a manifestation of a person's soul... [Don't ask him in detail, but.]
I can do a little... [He wriggles his fingers in front of him.] ...force field... thing with mine since she helped me. Only for a minute, though. Even though I've practiced a lot with it, it's difficult.
no subject
[Hinata you totally just lost some of those approval points you gained for the weapons thing. He still loves you and all, you're his best-friend-and-brother-forever (a bfabf, if you will) but...why.]
[Because superpowers and magic still confuse and frustrate him and he's basically just not a fan. (Un?)fortunately, he hasn't seen anybody try and use it yet so he's made no progress whatsoever in changing that opinion.]
...force fields.
no subject
You've seen them work yourself?
[His own he's generated, she means, not some of these weirdos doing weird stuff.]
no subject
And... he'll take any extra means offered to him to protect himself nowadays.]
Yeah. It can hold up under a strike. [...] Not for very long enough, but long enough. I'm hoping that after more training, it'll be enough in case there's ever a time someone's coming after me with a gun. [Again.]
