Its a rather temperate evening out, people are out and about moving through the streets as usual. Now, the inside of the bar is actually quiet, there are a few individuals here eating, one of them is finishing up, while the other seems to have just started. The chef is working on cleaning up and preparing for his next order, should the night warrant it.

Miyo was already in there, sitting at a table and feeding her craving. After her third plate of sushi one would think she was full. But nope! Waiting for her hopefully last order, she sat there with a book in hand humming softly to herself. That tripod case leaning against the table she'd glance out the window before yawning a bit as she flipped a page on the booked. The book? Baby names.

Stryfe wanders in coming from her night job of troublemaking. She pauses to order some pickled things wrapped in rice things as she glances around. She's sooo white. With her sunken eyes. At least some cultures have experience with cosplayers and thus her odd appearance is.. Well let's be honest. Ignored.

Carys follows Stryfe in, but not that closely. She looks about to see who is here.

Picking up her cup of tea in front of her, she'd look to the door as it opened. Seeing Stryfe, Miyo would raise her brow before looking to see Carys. Nodding slightly she would smile before casting her gaze back to the book. "....Hachiko.....hrm...."

Stryfe glances over shoulder and nods to Carys as she wanders over to sit down with some rolls of pickled cucumber and rice "Nothing like not being arrested to make one hungry."

Carys grins at Stryfe, "Legit, sister." She sees Miyo and smirks. She waves to her and then notes it looks like she has been binging.

Makiko steps quietly into the joint. She lets her eyes scan the room before settling on a back table. She takes a seat facing the people and orders a green tea and salmon sashimi

Miyo looked to Carys, wiggling her fingers a bit then. Seeing the woman she was with she'd just nod and looked back to book. However she spotted Maki, giving her a smile and a wave then.

Stryfe is popping sushi into her mouth with her fingers like a proper fucking barbarian. She's got that I'm an evil Sith so I don't care if you're supposed to eat it some other way outlook.

Carys walks over near Miyo and gestures to a seat near her. "Mind if I join you?"

Its about this point a scruffy looking Asian man steps in, he is dressed in black, long coat. He looks about for a moment then steps off to the side of the door and waits with his arms crossed. The man looks at those present in the room, the man who finishes gets up, walks over and pays his bill before walking out, the chef, who finished with the other guy, looks over to the man who waits by the door and frowns.

Glancing up, she'd shake her head and motioned to the seat. "Not at all, lady...." Shutting her book, she'd set it down then. Looking to the door now she'd just sigh as she pulled out her purse. "....see....this is why I stay home...." She had seen that frown the chef. Her thought? Pay her bill and gift.

Stryfe looks over to AznNeo, yep, that's his new name, by the door and raises an eyebrow slightly as she licks Wasabi off her fingers. That causes a face "Oh gods, it's in my nose."

Makiko catches Miyo's smile and wave. She smiled in return and waved back. She glances at the door

Carys looks toward the door when Miyo looks. "This sort of thing is not normal I'm guessing." She says softly.

Miyo would shake her head then. "Noooop. Not normal at all. And I come here....a lot." Sighing she would pull out some cash then and sat it on the table.

Another three men step in, wearing roughly the same clothing as the other man, except one of the men comes in wearing a black duster. The other two men that stepped in move to the other side of the door, while the one wearing the duster looks about at the group and snorts. He looks over to one of the men and whispers to him and he moves to stand in front of the door. The man who was eating looks up and sees what's going on and stops eating, he looks to those present then looks back then goes back to eating, or more so, he just keeps his head down. The man in the duster moves from the man at the door and begins looking about the people, walking slowly. "Well, we got some people who has something important to us..." The man comments, his eyes looking over to Miyo, then to Carys, Maki and Stryfe.

Stryfe looks up with a -huh?- and looks over at the four then looks over at the other people getting antsy and it clicks. "Oh.. Thugs." She smiles and casually opens up her paper wrapped chopsticks and pulls them apart before rubbing them casually together. "Sorry buddy, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm only here for the California rolls."

Miyo would yawn as she stood up, gathering her things. "No clue, buddy." Putting her hand on her belly she would smile. "But I know I'm one tired preggo lady so I'm going to go and let you figure that stuff out, hm?"

Carys looks at these guys and wonders who the hell they are. "Yeah, and I just walked in. What the hell would I have for you. I'm not even from around here."

Makiko watches them with dark eyes. She takes a drink of her tea. "I haven't the slightest idea on what you're talking about." She started to pour soy sauce into a small bowl and prepared to dip her salmon

Its about this point the man wearing the duster shakes his head. "Oh, see that is where you're wrong, we have it on good account that you..." And at this point the man pulls out a cleaver and points it at Miyo. "And you..." And points it at Carys. "Ran off with the Jade Dancer... We want it... So... going to make this easy, give it to me and I'll let all of you live..." It's about this point he walks casually over to the man who is keeping his head down. "Make an issue... well." As the man who was keeping his head down looks up, the man with the duster pulls out another cleaver and quickly buries it in the man's face. Suddenly blood sprays, the man makes this horrible gurgling sound and begins to convulse in the chair before falling to the ground. The chef behind the counter begins to yell at the men in Japanese, the duster wearing man snorts and looks to Miyo and the others. "So, what is it going to be?"

There is face cleavering and Stryfe rolls to her feet to prevent any blood splatter from getting on her.. Then she quickly stuffs the last few sushi into her mouth before looking at the others that are currently trapped in here. She's still got the chopsticks in hand but she's looking at the rest curiously wondering where this is going and if someone's going to start screaming.

Stopping she would look to him as she sighed a bit. Shifting her tripod case she would flick the top open as she kept her hand on her belly. "....really?" Looking to the man getting cut down she'd just stare flatly before looking back to him. "....you're going to attack a poor pregnant woman?" Miyo would raise her brow at that then.

Carys puts her hands on each side, and out comes her two short swords. "I don't think so. You are messing with the wrong women here."

As soon as Carys draws her weapons the Chef suddenly ducks with the words of 'Fruck!' The other men pull out weapons as well, cleavers too, the duster man chuckles and shakes his head. "Looks like we're doing this the hard way... Pregnant or not..." He looks to Miyo then to Carys, ignoring Maki and Stryfe for the moment.

Stryfe flows forward and casually stabs one of the mooks in the face with a chopstick.. It breaks. The mook swears. But apparently chopsticks aren't made for stabbing the fuck out of people cause she doesn't hurt him at all. Silly gaijin.

Carys readies her swords and with a whoosh she takes a swing - a quick one two! She slices at the guy and hits him. Not quite like last time when she sliced and diced the guy in half, but damage nonetheless.

The two cuts on the man seem to 'hit' but when the Duster man steps back what is noticed is that Carys didn't hit the man at all, but somehow missed... It's about this point he attempts to slice at Carys, landing his attack, but seems it didn't do much to her either.

Miyo was about to say something but Carys had pulled out her swords. Sighing, she would just growl as she face palmed but at the same time would reach into her tripod case and pulled out that sword. In one swoop she unsealed the bladed then brought it down upon the first poor sap that was in front of her. That case on the floor, she held her now bloodied sword in her left hand and it's sheathe in the right. "....I just....wanted to eat in peace...."

Stryfe looks at the guy with the cleaver, then at her remaining unbroken chopstick, then at the cleaver. "Fuck this." and she reaches. The cleaver in the bystanders face wiggles and then zips to her hand. She tries to do it subtle like behind her back. But it's still a floating cleaver for those that haven't gotten up close and personal yet. Then she casually deflects the attack moving with a floating grace and nearly inhuman perfection of skill. She grins "Now I have a cleaver too."

Once that cumbersome chopping knife is in Stryfe's hand it's spinning and flashing. Passing from hand to hand it flashes and cuts while Stryfe just smiles as if now with something sharp in hand all is right in the world. She steps up to Billy Baddass and makes a casual, at least to her, swipe cutting him before taking a step back. The spin on the blade makes sure any blood splashes away from her.

The attack on Jimmy gets a snort form the man who was bleeding from the attack, at least for a moment before... It stops bleeding (1 yang to heal). After the attack Jimmy comes in and takes a slash at Stryfe trying to return the favor, but her expert skill manages to parry the attack.

Miyo, in her grace and skill come in to slash at Jimmy Tang with that Katana of hers, hoping to portray a scene out of so many ultra-violent Asian films where blood sprays all over the play... However... those damn flats! The graceful strike is thrown off as her stance causes the flat to slide and she misses the Jimmy Tang by millimeters.

Carys puts all she's got into another chop with the sword, and hits this time, but still minimum damage. She'll have to do better next time, and hopefully not get hit herself later.

Makiko reaches behind her and unsheathe the knife at her back...it wasn't very long but it was sharp. She takes a few steps and slashes forward to the man, but it does no good

Goon 1 darts in and attempts to cleave a Miyo... Though her 'streak' of bad luck seems to roll into her dodge, the attack manage to land in a fashion where instead of cutting her, it was more like a game of grab ass... as in he slapped her ass with the flat of the blade... and has a rather dubious look of 'shit'.

Stryfe has moved progressively faster as the fighting progressed. Then multiple people tried to kill her and she tried to kill them back. Which resulted in a small bout of Matrix speed combat with Stryfe moving like an Agent.

Now things were starting to get real and Jimmy was having none of this shit, he was there to make a point and it's about time these poor souls get it. Some of the harm he took heals (1 point of Yin to heal 1 lethal, spends 1 Demon Chi for 1 extra Action, takes 1 bashing). He growls out and slashes again at Stryfe, but, of course, he misses the agile woman.

Stryfe exchanges strikes with Jimmy stepping with perfect precision and slapping aside his counter attack after she cuts him. She does seem to be getting annoyed at how resilient Jimmy seems to be. He's not dying. In fact he's trying to match her speed.

Miyo had had enough....either it was her dinner being disturbed or her chi out of whack she would just keep on sliding until she came to a halt. With a flick of her wrist, that sword would twirl at her side before she spun around and brought the blade around to his neck. Letting out a scream she'd follow through before panting softly as she....just....whoops....cut his head off. Panting heavily, that hand would go to her belly as she slowly looked to the others with a frown. "....anyone else?"

When Jimmy was killed... 'Killed' as it where, the other two men stopped their assault and watched their leader fall to the ground... blood spurting into the air... they look at one another, then to Miyo and the others before they suddenly turn and haul out of the shop... Unless others attempt to stop them. As for the chef behind the bar, he pokes up and mutters in Japanese... for those who know the language... it was a rather dirty curse word.

Carys watches Miyo take out the guy and just grins. "You go, girl." She sees the other guys leave and unless the others want to go after them, she is good to let them go back and tell anyone else to stay the hell away from them.

Makiko is calling Xue Jyu, Itto's Dhamphyr retainer, along with Itto, about what happened and needs the place cleaned up.

Stryfe flicks the cleaver away as the guy gets beheaded. She casually steps between the spray avoiding the blood looking at the others. "Well that was exciting." as she plops back down in the seat she abandoned and stabs her sushi with her remaining chopstick to eat it.

The old chef stands up and looks about his rather... ruined shop and shakes his head. "Great... Now need to get financing to fix this..." He walks over to the door and window, locking the door and then turning off his 'open' sign and closes the curtains. He turns and looks to the group for a moment before he motions towards the back. "Use the back door." He grumbles some and walks over to the counter and begins closing up the food.

Miyo would storm back over to her table, snatched up her food that was still there and moved to the back door. "Thanks old man....." Stopping she would look over to him and nodded. "...noted...." Stuffing food in her face she'd pick up her tripod case then just headed on out. Angry pregnant woman on a mission....

Carys sheathes her swords and watches an irate Miyo prepare to leave. She turns to Stryfe, "Yo Girl, thanks for the assist."

Stryfe stuffed the last of her food into her mouth before she walks over to the body and kicks it over with her foot. She begins looking for wallets, keys, or items of interest. "Always loot the body." she looks up nodding to Carys "Well he decided to involve me in some sort of problem. Now he's dead. It must be Tuesday." Stryfe takes the wallet out, emptying it of cash and drops said money into the tip jar. She then holds up the gun with a bit of distaste and tosses it away.

Carys nods to Stryfe, "Good thinking." She laughs about the Tuesday comment.

Stryfe reaches behind the counter and grabs the rice vinegar that they use when making sushi. She begins to vinegar the weapon she used, where she was sitting, the wallet and then offers the bottle to Carys. She's REALLY casual in that 'ho hum, another day another crime scene' sort of way when covering up her involvement. "I hate it when things wounds close when you're killing them. So annoying."

Carys watches Stryfe with the vinegar and hmms. She follows suit then. "No shit. That is not on my list of what to face on a Tuesday either."

Stryfe looks around "Well, I'm outs." she grins "Enough free killin for one night. Bitches gotta normally pay for this level of service." she nods to Carys and heads over towards the back door.
