BESTEST BUDDIES! REUNITE! {Anya & REQUEST}

[Kiseichu Clossiana]

More and more people were keeping up with their payments and that meant less work she was more familiar with and WAY more `deal with people who will more than likely remember it since they won't drop dead anytime soon`! Honestly, she fell out of normal socializing and fell into a comfort zone of not hiding what she was for very long...but now she had to go back to the same old routine. Try to play herself off as a human, slip n' slide under the demon radar SCOTT FREE and proceed with the next moment. Normally she didn't give a rat's bum-bum but quite frankly, with how many people who HUNT creatures like her for a living stroll into the hospital during NORMAL hours?! The fluffy haired woman with amber optics HAD TO make sure that her act wasn't so rusty that they'd see right through her. Sure, she could take on most of them easy...but it'd be REALLY NICE if it didn't boil down to blowing her cover and starting over again. That was always so very difficult and she already had a few friends with this life.

SO! It was about time Tanzanite went to visit one of her absolutely most trusted pals ever, Anya Jenkins! Being as busy as she was in the past, it was difficult to drop by and say hello as much as she'd like. If the pace with work kept being normal and less organ fetching, she'd definitely take more time to catch up with all those lovely individuals she actually appreciated in her life. THEY MADE IT WAY LESS BORING! Today, she didn't wear her usual attire or anything nurse related. Sure, she could change her outfit on a whim if this one didn't work for whatever reason at any point, but this time it was a very casual outfit. Normally, when she wanted to prance about in society, she would go a bit over the top and dress elegantly.

But today? She was actually going for something less over the top but not looking like she got tips from garish hobos or something. Wearing a long, jacket-like grey shirt over a somewhat low-cut plain white sleeveless shirt for example. It was incredibly vanilla in comparison to her NORMAL, more extravagant options! Then the finishing touches were a pearly shade of pants that ended a couple inches above her stiletto sandals decorated in chains to match the belt around her waist. There were also a few pockets here and there so she could be a little more discrete about pulling stuff out of the shadows. It was still daylight and well, she was going over to the magic shop dear ol' Anya operated with a bright smile across her cherry glossed lips.

Once she finally got there, the demoness with an affinity for organs and helping others mend their flesh wounds opened up the door sing songing the words, "Anya, my dear, are you anywhere in here~?" Chipper as usual, she sauntered on in and looked around quite curious since she didn't really come over here before.

[Anya]

"Get that thinly concealed assassination attempt out of my shop!" Anya snapped at the rather frightened looking delivery man, who just moments ago had tried to get her to sign for the box he was holding. Which she'd initially been happy to do, even if it meant giving up some of her precious money - restocking things meant giving people more items to buy, which meant even more money than she'd started out with! Once she'd actually seen what was in the box, however, the vengeance demon's demeanor had gotten significantly more hostile in a manner of seconds.

"Um...but...miss, you ordered these, and I can't just..."

"I did not!" Anya protested in sheer outrage at the very idea. "I wouldn't be caught dead ordering something so horrific! Literally! If I was a braindead zombie, I still wouldn't ever order a box of..." she cringed at the term that was about to leave her lips. "Rabbits' feet! Ever ever ever!" Whether this was a very unfortunate mistake or some sort of sick joke orchestrated by...rabbit-loving people, Anya didn't know or care, but she would not tolerate one more moment of those disembodied little monster paws anywhere in the vicinity of her shop! ...And the delivery man still wasn't leaving. Why wasn't he leaving?

"...So you don't want these?" he asked after an awkward pause.

"Did you miss the clearly displayed expression of disgust on my one-hundred-percent-human face?! Get out!" Pointing sharply at the door in a half-crazed manner that left very little room for argument, she watched with a good amount of relief as the man finally turned and fled from the shop, taking his satanic merchandise with him. She waited a moment or two longer after his departure...and then, as if nothing had just happened, gave a short, casual shrug. Business was so difficult sometimes! But now that she'd survived that traumatic situation, she could get back to her daily task of counting the money in the cash register and doing her Capitalist Dance of Superiority and-- and was that the bell that hung from the door ringing again? What didn't that lousy human understand about the word 'no'?!

She turned around with an irritable scowl in place - which was quickly replaced by a look of surprise as she recognized the woman who'd just walked in. "Tanzanite!" she blurted out in surprise - she hadn't seen the other demon in what felt like forever! Grinning now, Anya hurried over to her. "Thank goodness you're not that evil man who was trying to sell me rabbit feet!" It wasn't the most...normal thing she could have greeted her friend with, but Anya didn't seem to see anything strange about it as she practically tackle-hugged the other woman, then drew back to stare at her curiously. "What are you doing here?"

[kage]

That.

Bastard.

Kage stormed angrily along the streets of New York, much to the disdain of several passersby (obviously tourists). The natives, however, seemed to shrug him off as another one of those crazy performance artists. He hugged his cloak closer to himself, as if it would do anything for hiding his horns that he hadn't filed in weeks.

"Bastard needs to find himself a hobby.." he muttered to himself through gritted teeth. What was a native Japanese half demon doing in the middle of New York, you ask? The simple fact of the matter is a certain scientist has had way too much sadist fun as of late and quite literally chased the poor experiment out of the country. So here he was, charading as a homeless guy while trying to find a decent ghost story to fill temporarily. At that moment in particular, he was hungry, and trying to find a rat to prey on. He could smell them everywhere, but they were sneaky little devils.. Not to mention he had to somehow do this without drawing more unwanted attention.

He continued to stroll for a while, when a sudden pang rang through his ears. Not the usual hum of every human's life essence vibrating through his head, but a PANG. The easiest way to explain this would be comparing it to the feeling you get when you pass by someone you recognize, and they call your name while you're still disoriented.

"What was that?" Kage mused, looking about. PANG. There it was again. This time he got a sense of what it meant and how to track it. He quickly fell in step and started following the strange sense, before coming across a strange looking magic shop. Shrugging, he walked in. Immediately the pang doubled, the source very plainly being two strange looking women hugging. He just sort of stared for a couple moments, trying to figure out exactly what it meant.

THOSE FIENDS! Humans could be so awful sometimes, she felt so very sorry for her dear, rabbit fearing friend. Once she felt the borderline tackle-hug take place, she actually had a smile that seemed to hold some sort of fond...happy value to it while she returned the hug. Definitely as a greeting and form of comfort, she let out a happy little hum during their palsy moment of friendship. Of course, after that warm and fuzzy moment, she placed the palms of her hands upon her demon buddy's arms and...felt as though she should begin to sing. Sort of like...some sort of corny yet really catchy musical. The medical demon certainly enjoyed some of those quirky things and had her own slice of fun sing-songing every now and then.

But...this was almost like she was being influenced to set the mood. "Oh Anya, my dear I stumbled in here with a.....happy little notion~" Moving her hands down to grasp onto her pal's hands being chipper as can be while continuing to sing, "Due to my friendly devotion~" Letting go of her left hand to pivot off to the side while holding up Ms. Bunny Despiser's right hand. "A day without catastrophic explosions aaaaaat the mall where you and me, we shall beeeeeeeeee~! Pointing out toward...some...random...little...tree "More normal than that tree~!"

Letting out a chipper little giggle while closing her eyes for a moment...the corner of her mouth slightly twitched as though she was silently saying `Oh what the actual hell is going on?!`. REALLY...MORE NORMAL THAN A TREE....WHY WOULD SHE SAY THAT?! Whatever. On top of all this, she sensed ADDITIONAL demons in the area...none of which were familiar but by golly could she feel em'! ...but apparently her whim of singing had to end in something completely unrelated to it at this time...

[Anya]

This little unexpected reunion had certainly brightened the vengeance demon's (up until now, kind of sucky) day - she smiled cheerfully as she awaited Tanzanite's answer, whatever it might be. Knowing her quirky demoness friend, nothing really would have surprised Anya at this point...or...so she thought, anyway. One thing she hadn't quite been prepared for was Tanzanite suddenly breaking into song. Anya blinked, tilting her head quizzically to one side as a look of slight bewilderment crossed her features. Even more strange was that the blonde suddenly felt the need to start singing...right along with her.

Which. Uh. No. That wasn't normal. At all. Except for the one time when it was, but that had ended really, really badly, and the problem had been taken care of such a long time ago that...there was no way the same thing could be happening again now. Right? There had to be some other explanation for this. Some other explanation for why she was about to respond to her friend...in song...

"Tanzy, you can count me in,
'cause that's what friends are for!
A perfectly normal shopping trip;
we'll hit up every store!"

Well this was stupid. Not the part about the shopping trip, that actually sounded pretty fun. But the singing part was beyond stupid, and Anya really, really wished she could stop. This whole thing was getting more suspicious by the moment, and she wished she could mention it...but the words...just didn't seem to want to come out of her mouth. What was more, she'd just noticed that someone else had walked into the shop! A cloaked figure who looked like the type who would totally have an interest in some dark magic - and probably the money to pay for it too! But now their singing was probably going to scare him off; crap this was embarrassing! She had to reassure him - and quickly.

"This doesn't happen all the time,
It's really kind of funny!
Don't worry about it! Come on in!
Please hurry, spend your money!"

Man, this was so lame. Demons weren't supposed to sing. Ever. She was really gonna have to punch whoever was responsible for this in the face...

OOC: no idea where Kage is, but will adjust when he posts.

[/color] he says with a smile as he disappears.

The sound of laughter echos through the floor that Anya and her friend are on, before she sound of a voice is heard singing...

Take a look, and see what I found.
A pair of voices that are singing out...
One I knew some time ago,
The other, someone new.

And the sound of tapping is heard as Sweet appears and spins in place, before he looks up and smiles.

And what do I find,
Two who are unique.
One was a demon,

He sings as he slides up to Anya and grins, before sliding over to Tanzy, winking.

And one is a demon.
But both are just like meeeeee

And he slides away from Tanzy as he inishes and looks at the two of them. "Well, well, well. What are the odds of seeing two people, one I have meet before being in the same place at the same time?"[/size][/ul]
