Who: Chris, and you! [open post]
When: May 20th-May 30th, except for the 21st, because she busy ICly that day
Where: Both the Far and Near Shore
What: General Open Post
[Singing in the Park]
[Chris didn't know when she'd started receiving prayers like this, but it was a welcome change from the kind she usually received while playing the role of Ishtar. In this case, a young guitar player was trying to become noticed, and wished someone would come along to help him...
... and well. Chris had wanted to get out and perform in public more.
And so she was standing in the middle of the park, looking embarassed... but also singing, and with a smile on her face as the young man played accompanying music on his guitar.]
...Those times when I felt like crying, and those times when I did~
You were always there for me, "Don't lose your way," you said to me...
As you came closer and grasped my hand, You, my special someone...!
[ooc - This is technically taken from another series, but I needed something softer and which fit her character, so let's just handwave that part.]
[All work and no play make tiny god something something]
Oh come on!
[Today, Chris found herself at an arcade in the Near Shore, playing one of those Cardass type arcade machines. As it turned out, CanColle cards suffered from the same horrible distribution rates as the actual mobile game, and Chris was dead set on earning that rare, limited edition "Tommy-chan" card.]
Alright, you stupid son of a bitch, this time I'm winning that card, or you and I are going to have words.
[And so Chris shoved another yen coin into the machine, and narrowed her eyes, focusing on the gameplay... which appeared to be some weird hybrid of a strategy game, a rhythm game, and bullet hell involving anthropomorphized firearms? Somehow, it worked.
But she was determined to see this through... even if how well she did barely had a limited influence on what cards she earned.]
[Living on a prayer]
[Today? Today was about work. Chris had gone on a scouting, err, outing to gather information in advance of handling a prayer, but somehow, she'd managed to be caught unaware and was now deeply involved in a battle against an ayakashi that had been ruining a farmer's crops.
Said ayakashi looked like a very demonic, very large crow.]
Son of a bitch son of a bitch son of a bitch...!
[She'd already transformed into her gear form, but for now, she was focused on leading the enormous bird away from the populated area. Which meant running, and not being able to fight back. Continuing to curse to herself, she sent a text message to anyone she had in her social network, imploring them to see if they could come help...]
[Shopping]
[It was summer now, and Chris couldn't keep relying on all the clothes that Ginia and Irisviel had lent her. They were all more fitting for colder weather or formal occasions, and she needed something light and breezy.
So, she went out on multiple days, hitting clothing stores, malls, and shopping centers, shopping for clothes. Not just that, but things to decorate her temple. And... on several days? She'd found herself in shops she didn't normally frequent at all, like jewelry stores and shops that sold Japanese antiques. She could be found in such places, looking unsure of herself and staring hard in concentration at their wares.
She had a friend's birthday coming up after all.]

[If you want to thread with Chris but aren't feeling any of the prompts, just PM my journal and we can work something out!]

[She sighed.]
If you want, you can use me as a sounding board. To just let all the frustrations out. We could even spar if you need to get some physical aggression out on top of it.
...
But yeah. Sure. Burgers first.
no subject
[Iskandar shrugs. Not that he even has the means to realise his visions of destruction.]
But that’s just idle talk. I wouldn’t do any of this. Even if the urge is strong.
[He looks around checking the room. Finding it in acceptable state he grins to Chris.]
Enough of that whining. It’s unfit of a king anyway. Let’s go out, eat and be merry.
no subject
[She hopes someone related to the old gods wasn't listening.]
Anyway. Let's go then.
[ooc - jump ahead to the near shore?]
jump it is
As they land on the Near Shore in a place he hasn't visited before Iskandar whistles. He's seen a lot but this place is new.]
I don't know this part of the city.
no subject
[... And here they are: "Bronco Bill's Burgers, Burgers, & More Burgers". You know any place that specializes in meat and has a cowboy and a bronco on the front of it has gotta be good, right?]
no subject
They sure want people to have absolute certainty what they are serving here.
[The triple burger in the name of the establishment helps to get the message across even to the densest of the prospective customers.]
no subject
[Inside, it becomes aware this is the most American establishment ever, with all the cowboy regalia and the the country music playing. In fact, a server comes up to them, wearing a uniform that includes a bandanna and a cowboy hat.]
Hey there, pardners! Seating for two?
no subject
I believe so.
[They are seated at a small table. Iskandar looks around in amazement. His only contact with America was one trip to Hawai so he cannot be a judge on the authenticity but surely he can recognize the effort. This place is so over the top it almost screams surreal at you.
And he loves it.]
How in the world did you find this place?
no subject
Uh... like I said, I was answering a prayer. Something about an ayakashi making health inspectors shut the place down. It didn't deserve it, of course, just... ayakashi.
[She opens up her menu. It consists of burgers, fries, burgers and fries, burgers with fries on them, and fries... made of ground beef.]
no subject
I'm definitely grateful you were able to save it from the undeserved demise.
[Right. Maybe the beef fries are a bit of an overkill.]
What would you suggest?
no subject
[She looked over the menu.]
... Y'know, there's a Texas-sized burger with a diameter the length of a person's arm. If you can finish it in an hour, it's free.
no subject
As much as I'd like the challenge I think I stick with Montana-size now.
[He grins looking down on the menu. One day... it would be worth a try.]
Though I'm tempted to see if they're even able to make the big one for me.
no subject
[Chris has seen an opening and she's going to take it.]
no subject
[That's just too easy, isn't it?]
Let none say I shy from a challenge.
