Her time and "relief" in Daliah was a bit of a pleasing moment for Priscilla wanted to just get something a bit different for letting the edge out that she wanted to do for a while. Something maybe she never really truly often to care about doing in public really.

Since in town was more normal place to bath side from places in inn's or she happen to find to stay she could find that had a place to bathe and that was it. So Priscilla for once in her like just kind of went to a more public area.

No risk of her really doing much, After all she is rather settled mentally and posed no risk to harm anyone for now, no need no risk. No issue which all was good. So she prepared as she always does. After all she was in bathhouse, But doesn't mean she did not truly wish to be around other people.

Priscilla arrived here when no one else had been around it is how she got comfortable so quickly, Being able to relax and drifting her thoughts away from it too was a lot nicer than she first assumed maybe because she did not do it too often.

Even for once feeling her just unwinding for the moment stresses just left her mind a lot more quickly then she normally would, Being a lone helped it kind of sink into her mind. she even manage to just feel like she could drift into a nap since it was early afternoon it must have been a slow period of the baths, she did not care any reason why it was slow and no one else was around, she just was happy she was able to relax like this alone for the moment.

"Alright buddy, don't be shy! Just fuckin' hop in, the water's the perfect temperature at this time of day!"

Tomoe walked into the men's side of the bath on a cool afternoon day, his arm happily around his friend Julian as they moved step by step towards the warm waters within. While the Joyan rogue was happy to lead the charge, his more formal friend Julian was more nervous. This nervousness, however, subsided somewhat once they confirmed that they were the only two on the men's side.

"See? Nothing to worry about.", Tomoe blurted out thoughtlessly, and slapped Julian on the back with a chuckle.

Underestimating his newfound strength though, Tomoe had casually flung Julian into the waters below. If not for his own training regimen it would have been enough to knock the young man unconscious on a worse day.

Julian looked back up at him with a spiteful glare, which was lost on the jovial Joyan who had a running start to cannonball into the bath, blinding Julian temporarily. The pair migrated across the water until they found a suitable place at one of the corners. Tomoe let out a sigh as he leaned into the wall he propped himself up against, and looked towards the afternoon sky above and observing the movements of a bird flying by.

The duo stalled in this way in silence for a long time, before Tomoe let out a yawn and stretched his arms to signal his boredom - or perhaps the bath was simply starting to take effect on him. He would likely find out shortly either way. Before he would be allowed to fall asleep in the warm comfort of the bath though, he would rather casually and bluntly blurt out a sentence loud enough that the more observant on the women's side of the bath would be able to hear.

"Y'know, I haven't done a good peeping in a while now. Whaddya say buddy, help a brother out?", Tomoe would unintentionally boom, undoubtedly gathering the ears of any who would choose to listen in.

Indeed his ramblings did, as another muscular man peered his head out from behind the corner and entered the men's bath. Taller than Tomoe and older as well, his grizzled features rivaled the samurai's own. Approaching the duo from the other end in nothing but a bath towel, his eyes shook with frustration.

"Shut the fuck up, ye bloody cunt! I'll kick yer ass six ways from today if ye keep threatening the ladies!", the musclebound oaf would approach while shouting, now standing by the edge of the water with his arms crossed in challenge.

The oaf's words combined with his posture and demeanor agitated Tomoe, who stood up and began maneuvering to leave the bath as well, striding with confidence directly towards his challenger.

"Is this one of those places that has bamboo shoots? If it is I'm gonna shove one right up your ass, bud. Unless you make tracks right now.", Tomoe retorted violently, now also at the edge of the bath and putting his clothes and equipment back on after drying off.

The commotion the two men caused in a shouting match back and forth resulted in a definite conflict that drew the eyes of multiple customers and employees, as well as other patrons across the other baths. Their raised voices were to such a pitch that it was unlikely that anyone would enjoy the comfort of the warm waters any time soon if it persisted.

She almost drifted off into a nap. Until something else kind of just went back to reality for now. But oddly she was not annoyed, If anything she would only be bothered if one of them showed up to try and get a look at her, Not like she would not have her ways around it if it were to happen.

For now Priscilla paid no mind to any of them, Maybe this was just how things worked here, something seemed to always be amiss in these areas, Just different then the monsters in Daliah, Things here would not kill you.

Nothing could most likely bother her here, at worst she leaves some one else with black eye maybe a broken arm or two maybe even a nose, Many things she could do if they tried to look. Priscilla wouldn't be scared to take action

She was missing something to drink."Oh what if only i had gotten a Bloody Mary or Grim Reaper before sitting here." She quietly mentioned to herself, going back into habits she could maybe try to stay away from unless she wanted to deal with normal things she faced, But a human with many addiction could still not take in her problems, For now she knew he could manage.

But he could not help wondering if they where daring enough to try once, Priscilla personally wanted to doubt it would happen but, everyone is not easily guessed so she would have to think about it until. But she would just start relaxing more into the water and just lay in it enough that just her neck and head were above water. It would be interesting to hear what else would happen with what going on around her, Or she was thinking too much into other things when she could finally just feel like a normal person and not a horrible monster addicted to murdering others for her own twisted relief from a life almost no one knew about.

In usual fashion for Tomoe during his days off, he would get into fights. The only difference the outspoken brawler had between a day with or without work, was that he wouldn't get paid for the fights he instigated on his off days. In most cases anyway. And in this case, it was just another fight on any other old day.

"Don't talk shit if you can't back it up, cockroach!", Tomoe shouted to the gods above before rushing the man opposing him with a barrage of fists.

Caught off-guard, the defending man could only continue to protect his body from dramatic injury, but the bruises and welts were piling up nonetheless. The altercation continued further around the bath until Tomoe had boxed his opponent against a wall. Lacking the stamina to persist his defense, the man in nothing but his towel stayed his hand a second too late only to receive a left hook to the jaw. From there, it was all over - combo after combo, beating the man until cracks appeared in the wall behind him. Further and further Tomoe pushed it as employees began to show concern that it wouldn't stop.

With one final gut shot, Tomoe's monstrous strength propelled the toweled man clear through the wall, leaving a person-sized hole. The toweled man would rocket into the women's side of the bath and near what appeared to be the only woman relaxing there for the time being. Knocked unconscious against a wall on the other side, a view was made clear across from the men's side to the women's.

Being the lover of women that Tomoe was, the rogue was shameless towards taking a peek at the women's bath and seeing a scarlet haired woman on the other side. There was not an ounce of regret on his face, only shock at how far his physical prowess had come. Shaking a hand through his hair, now snowy and moistened by bubbles and pristine water, he waved at the woman with a warm smile.

"Hey there. You come here often, babe?", Tomoe spoke out finally, his tension relieved after a scrap and his skin feeling silky smooth.

That went as smoothly as she expected it to be. Even when she had company Priscilla seemed almost unaffected not even annoyed."No, I do not."She mentioned like she was bored and not impressed at all with what happen. Priscilla was use to doing much worst but that was not for her to mention or him to find out either.

"But I can assume stuff like this happens normally."She also mentioned seemingly bored and like she felt like a bit normal. Then again Priscilla did not seem too annoyed or uncomfortable with this man being in the same bath with her, as long as he did not try to touch her Priscilla would be fine with the company. Then realizing how being called babe was a bit off putting to her so she would make up whatever name she would think of. "Babe? I would rather you call me Aria perosnally."Made up but hey Priscilla assume she would not see him see anymore after this moment currently. But not too worried about if it ever change, She just needed to remember she called herself that here."And might who would you be?"Priscilla under her alias of Aria would ask him.

She would even remain still and not move at all but would at least carry on the conversation."I would assume your not security at all, So what do you do stranger?"She asked to kind of make it not as quiet as much as she was fine with it, She had manners at least and making sure she was not just a awkward and quiet person while she was figuring out what kind of personality, job and other things she could figure out to craft a fake person for the moment, For now Priscilla would just lay their waiting to hear or see what would be next.

The woman seemed entirely unfazed by the events unfolding, which unnerved and intrigued Tomoe both. Intrigued because it didn't happen often, and unnerved because as much as the Joyan loved his casual conversation, those without reactions to situations were more on the boring side to him. Tomoe would make his way into the women's side of the bath and pick up his unconscious foe like he was a plank of wood, and in one motion, strip off his towel and toss his corpse-like features back onto the men's side of the wall. The man would land face-down, kissing the floor with ass freely hanging out and drool escaping his mouth. The employees began to leave, talking amongst themselves about getting a healer, a priest and at least a few armed guards to escort Tomoe off the land.

The Joyan rolled his eyes and walked further into the women's bath, squatting about three feet away from the only woman on that side of the wall.

"Well, those guys are gonna be calling in the heavies real soon and I'll be, as they say 'getting the fuck out of here' before that can happen. I'm too poor to pay fines, and way too tough to hang out in a place like jail. And the pissed off shouting contests I'll have if my guild buddies find out... ugh. Not worth the headache, lemme tell you."

The stressed yet calm man that he was, looked up into the sky to see birds flying by and wishing that could be him at this moment. To just fly away and not face the consequences of his actions. Something like that would be very nice.

After a minute or so of bird gazing, he would turn to the woman who named herself as Aria and nodded his head.

"Hey, that's an alright name. Like the music? Pretty.", he would blurt out with a shrug, not particularly informed on music but taking his best guess.

The intruder was asked about his role, and he rolled back his shoulders with a cracking sound following it, a smirk on his face.

"I'm kind of a badass, y'see. A real tough guy. I'm the guy they send to beat the shit out of all the mean, nasty coke fiends and rapists out there. It's a good job with good pay, so I don't really question it much.", Tomoe responded in kind casually, trying to hype himself up for the potential lay before him.

Tomoe was mindful of the time, but nevertheless found talking relaxing. Especially knowing that the first thing guards would see would not be him, but some guy passed out naked next to a broken wall, looking especially perverted. This served to cause a chuckle to burst out, sending him into gut laughter at the realization of the minor chaos he's brought upon this establishment. It was moments like these that he wondered why he didn't join a dark guild instead - they had fun like this all the time, surely. Nor did the man have anything against them really. Maybe he would look into that as a future option, perhaps. Only time would tell.

"So what're you so calm about, babe? You used to dudes checking you out?"

Well before the her fake personality could form she just mentioned one thing to him just kind of show boating what he was. With in that vary moment Priscilla as Aria just said."Oh, have you ever blood eagle'd a pedophile in front of his own family in a public square?"It could almost be a joke but Priscilla sounded serious like she had done a thing like that before. She even added to it."Even then kill their family afterwards leaving their children left alive out of your own moral choice to spare an innocent life that has yet to do horrible acts."It was too casually and detailed to be a joke she was serious and this was dark and she did not seem to have a second look about it.

But she would answer his question with a small chuckle."I am comfortable with my own body skin and looks, I am not worried about not having clothing around you as long as you do not try to touch anything or try to get a feel on me, I don't personally care. Staring and looking doesn't bother me in the slightest."She did not sound like a lady to tease him but just knew what she was comfortable with. She was also setting the boundary line, It seemed Priscilla was just having some faith in some one not to cross it, She wanted to doubt him and felt like there was a risk of it being crossed, In that case she would not fear doing anything she felt

"So stare and enjoy."She then went back to just sitting normally and with that the one eyed purple haired woman then said."Just don't try anything else beyond looking."What else did she need to say, At least if he was not feeling too weird about it he had something he could enjoy from this. "If men prefer pale skinned, one eyed woman who only seem to work at night. Then I have not really met any who would stare at me that did not have intentions that were not polite or positive."Which she mentioned as a point.

After running her fingers through her hair and flip it outward, Then Priscilla started to soak it in the water. Was this too dark and weird for this man or was this more interesting to him. She was waiting to see at this point.

"Well you just have all sorts of issues, don't you?", Tomoe sighed, clearly being taken out of the moment with her comments about pedophiles and children.

He moved to stretch his legs and motioned his ears to the sounds of shouting and clanking metal off in the distance. His time to depart would come soon, and swiftly. While listening to the nonchalant bath patron talk her dark utterances, Tomoe began loosening his limbs and joints to prepare for a getaway.

"I don't judge people too harshly, but you may want to consult a health professional in the future. Work out some kinks, y'know?"

Tomoe's expression was now one of half-concern, clearly focused on the law enforcement soon to arrive. It was less that he was intrigued or disturbed, and more that he was concerned by the woman's seemingly low energy and lack of care for the whole situation. He was expecting slaps, screams, or even a cute blushing face. Nothing whatsoever came of it, which served for him to lose interest somewhat aside from the whole casual murder thing she was swinging for. That tidbit made him think a potential bounty or even the one causing a ruckus and slaughtering people around Magnolia lately. It was worth checking into, at the very least.

"Hey. How long have you been around town, babe? Overly so, or a new arrival?", Tomoe blurted out questioningly, sounding curious and flirtatious on the outside but actually wanting to gauge a reaction from her on the inside.

Small thing is she chuckle slightly."I would, but i have my reasons for not wanting to go near anyone that could help me."Which might not help him feel any different, Either way she would seemed so bored but had a feeling something shortly would change."If I could trust some one who could help me, Than I could consider it."She really did not craft her fake persona well. But then again after this moment Priscilla seemed unsure if she would ever meet this man again at all, Nor would either of them care too most likely, If she ever saw him again it would be interesting.


"I arrived this morning."she mentioned getting out of tub to get a towel Priscilla even had a slight moment of trusting him, it was a test she had her back to him. If he was super picky he could easily pick up on the fact she was missing since her hair got wet and was not covering it."I traveled in from Daliah on foot."while walking over and picking up a towel to wrap herself up in."So far can say Magnolia is interesting given what happen here."She then laughed like she found it interesting."Maybe there is more interesting things to see happen."At least she was carrying on the conversation a bit better now, or trying too anyway. Priscilla was not blind how this was going.

So she would walk casually looking over where she had left her other things since she generally left her clothing close by. Maybe it shifted to a different area because of what took place around her. But maybe waiting to see what else would happen too. She was not needing to buy time. Nothing would harm her in this moment.

"Hmm...I was close by my clothing, by chance did it get knocked away? they are not in the spot I left them around here."She mentioned seeing if he knew, if not she could manage just after things were solved here and people were moved, If they were no longer around she could just find some others later.

Tomoe would take the time to admire the woman's body as she left the waters covering her features, but didn't make a move from his spot. He wasn't the type of creep to prey upon women, but looking was acceptable for Aria so he wouldn't worry at all about taking it in. He would even proceed to nod his head in approval, enjoying the view but not overstepping the set boundaries. Whether it was a test or not he wouldn't care, as he knew when he was being shut down and the woman had her own problems to work out anyway. Even should his flirtation attempts succeed, he wouldn't be able to shake off the feeling of anxiety towards whether he would be stabbed any following moment after.

"I think it's cool that you're so nonchalant about murder and flashing your tits. Some guy in the future will be very lucky for that, I'm sure. But uh, I'm in a bit of a..."

At that moment, guards could be heard entering the premises, rushing towards the bath the two found themselves in. At that, Tomoe nodded his head in concern and met eyes with Aria, letting her know it was definitely the rogue's time to flee. With that, he began rushing towards a wall of the bath and with superhuman agility and speed, climbed to the top. The Joyan vagrant turned back one last time towards the woman going for her clothing, and gave a sly wink.

"See ya."

With that, Tomoe slid off the wall to the other side of the bath, exiting into Magnolia's streets and making his way around to blend in with normal society as if none of the conflict concerned him at all.

---

[Exit]

Soon he was gone, So Priscilla found her clothing she would pick them up while everything else seemed to be happening and Priscilla would go to dry off, taking off the towel and drying herself off, and drying her hair off as well."Here was slightly boring."She mentioned to herself there was no toying with anyone today, It was unneeded it was boring she just felt normal and happy for once in her life and her peaceful mind, It was worrying to some but the person who felt at peace for the moment.

Putting back on her things she just felt rather bored and wondered what to do next in this town. To think when not ridden with such problems her mind gave her, Feeling normal left you with being a bit bored easily, But hey she was normal now as normal as Priscilla could be, There was always missing pieces to her life and she never really wanted to talk about them. As long as Priscilla was not a problem to anyone else in town she was sure she would not have problems from anyone else.

But one thing was on her mind, It was something she at least remembered being here at least once before when she was here and the thought of baked good came across her mind so maybe it was time for her to consider some kind of cake or maybe other things as well. Nonetheless it was time for her to leave the bath house, it was a bit of a mess now which was entertaining but too many people did seem to bother her after a while so she would leave when she had a chance too, It was a bit easier then most because Priscilla knew how to sneak through a crowd.
