--♤ Jeez, talk about formalities. Shizuka's expression towards the other was blank, as if the answer should have been completely obvious. However, she felt she had to spell it out for the other.         "Have I not made myself clear? I said you're the most shady looking character I've seen all day." She paused at the the term 'state alchemist', she then proceeded to tilt her head towards the other.        "State.... alchemist...?" She questioned, however it sounded as though it were a rhetorical question. But there was allowance for the boy to answer if he liked.

⌈۞⌋ — 

  "Will you let go of me lady?!", he nearly screamed, tugging away the only arm he had made of flesh. Edward turned towards her and crossed his arms, pouting a bit.

"What the hell do you want? The only thing I’ve ever been in my life is a state alchemist and that’s it."

--♤ A job. That was everyone's response so far, and as of yet, it had completely annoyed Shizuka. How come there were so many people flooding in for jobs, when so many people living in the city didn't have one. Was this a qualification thing, or just simple lies for trained info brokers? She simply sighed. The girl looked harmless, not to mention, she seemed completely bewildered at the idea of info brokers.        ".... Alright then. I trust you. And, I guess again, I'm sorry for being so snappy all of a sudden. We've had some strange characters come in today." She placed a finger at her lip, tapping it thoughtfully.        "... Perhaps I should introduce myself. So we're not complete strangers. Name's Shizuka Heiwajima, Ikebukuro's strongest woman and bartender." She smiled towards the other female, extending her arm, to shake hands with her in a more formal introduction, as to suffice for her behavior before.

Hearing the question, the girl just took a short glance away with an unreadable look before turning back her attention to the other. To say she was lost wasn’t too correct. She knew where she was, the fact that the teen didn’t know the directions was the only thing she could consider herself lost in another term. Though hearing this place wasn’t really someone like the ex-Level Five to be at, well it would be a lie if she said that she wasn’t irritated by it. At least she knew that the older had a good explanation behind her sudden rudeness towards her. Can’t say that things like that never happened to her before. Heck, being underestimated was another thing she hated and she’ll probably zap them by the end of the day if she couldn’t hold her anger. Maybe the Electromaster could let this go seeing she did apologized. "No, I’m only here because of a job. I had to buy a few things for the bar, that’s all. And about that… Don’t worry. I can take care of myself."

--♤ Ah, the unlucky one was the girl that caught eye-contact with Shizuka. She paused in her tracks, eyes narrowing, as if she was locking on to the other. With a brief grimace, she decided to make her move, cross over to finally confront the girl. Of course, she wasn't ready to be upfront. She hardly looked menacing enough to cause a riot in Ikebukuro.        "Hey kid. You lost? These streets are hardly safe enough for a lass of your physique to be walking around in." Yeah, real smooth Shizuka. She eyed the other female up and down for a little bit, before sighing to herself, almost in defeat, glancing over to the side.        "Ugh, sorry. That was too abrupt. You see, there's been a flood of people in Ikebukuro as of late. I just want to know why."

--♤ Well either someone was a full grown introvert, or just plain rude. Shizuka's eyes narrowed towards the other as he made his way past her. As if on impulse, she shot her arm towards him, grabbing onto his wrist, in order to try and stop the other from walking any further. Was that game he wanted to play? She tried to be polite, but looks like this chump wanted none of it. She cast a glare in his direction, attempting to make eye contact.        "Ey. Don't try and get out of any questions, kid. You're looking at Ikebukuro's strongest, right here. Don't cause a scene, and answer my questions. We clear?"

--♤ The expression and the words the other spilled, they were contrapuntal to one another. That's when the penny dropped. But Shizuka had to be sure. She remained a decent composure, as she looked back towards Komaeda, asking the question that would seal the deal, stop the debate in her mind.         "Don't go putting yourself down like that. Tell me then, what's this talent you put down so much."

—♤     "Hope’s Peak, huh. Can’t say I’ve heard of it, kiddo. But say, if all the kids there are top of their class. Then what does that make you. You got a special talent like them?" Shizuka was acting really curious around this boy, which was a complete juxtaposition from her character. Something about Komaeda echoed something that she was wary of, but hell, she couldn’t quite place her finger on. So if she kept asking questions like this, perhaps she’d get to finding out what this boy reminded her of. Or maybe she wouldn’t, but then she could try other methods.

--♤  Another unfamiliar face, appeared from the train station. What was this? All tourists please head to Ikebukuro and not tell any of the citizens who live there? Slowly reaching the end of her tether, Shizuka decided that this unlucky individual was the one who was going to answer her questions, and once the blonde female was in this sort of mood, that was it. Boldy, she marched across the road, not even looking for traffic, since it would only cost her too much time. She approached the other, skipping all formality;        "Hey. Kid. I don't know if you know anything, but I'm afraid you're looking kind of shady in comparison to the fifty-thousand different assholes who have decided they're spending their days here in Ikebukuro. So cut the crap, and tell me straight, are you or any of these other morons in cahoots with any info-brokers, or spies."  Nice one Shizuka. Nice one.

—♤ Shizuka remained slightly quiet. There was a pact of going to school, but not having a job at the same time? God, she knew she was 24, but had things changed all that much, or was this kid someone special? She didn’t even dare question, even she knew that would be rude and immoral to ask.        "… So. What kinda school is this then? I’ve never really seen one that gets you to actually focus on studies and not have a job to help towards it."

He’ll shake his head once more at that. Him? Work? The boy could barely focus on his studies, not to mention remember to go to work if he had a job. Grey eyes will flit to the ground.

"No.. I go to school and they told me not to so I could focus mainly on my studies." 

Komaeda does live there, after all.  It’d be wise to listen to the people that were feeding him along with providing him with a chance to be in the school he loved so much.

--♤ Did it even bare repeating? Every time Shizuka looked back over at the train station exit, more people were piling their way out of it. It was become a minor inconvenience for the bartender, especially having to be so... social with these new strangers. In fact, she was tempted to just dismiss the entire job this time round completely, but since it was a large mass of people, she knew that would probably get her in deep shit. She wasn't prepared to go losing any jobs now. Shizuka paced around the groups of different people, keeping her watchful eye on them, pushing her glasses directly in front of her eyes, the sunlight reflecting off them giving a brief flash of light. For now, she'd stick to the sides, until someone did something significantly out of line.

[bluelensedcocktails-blog]

--♤ What the hell was her problem!? Wait, that's right. Everything. Nevertheless, Shizuka fell for the same foolish actions of the other, and yet another one of those 'classic' chase scenes began. Taking hold of the nearest 'No Entry' sign, she tore it straight from the ground, something a girl of her build should not have been able to do. With a growl, her voice shouted out towards the black-clad female;        "Kanra....!! KANRA. KANRA!!!! I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU..." And with that she launched the sign post that was held above her head, almost again, unceremoniously towards Kanra. Her actions were rash, rushed and completely out of sync with the other. So hits were not guaranteed at this point of the match.

     ~x~         "Hahahahaha~" A sadistic laugh escaping the lips of the raventte, her body almost moving against gravity as she allowed herself to flow within a flip to dodge the strikes the blonde attempt to throw at her, well let’s be honest…she knew far too well that this kind of thing pissed the bartender off to the extreme, but there was no need to go into any detail about that yet.           “Still…it seems intelligence is beneath Shizu-Chan, but you never fail to bring some form of excitement to my day." With that said, she merely placed one hand within a pocket of her jacket, swiftly throwing three blades at the concrete pavement beneath the blonde before making one of her famous getaways from the bartender, oh how fun this will turn out…well then again it was always fun to annoy the blonde, it was almost like a treat for info-broker.

--♤ Ah, an Exorcist, so that explained the almost dodgy looking attire, in contrast to everyone else who piled in. However, that didn't stop Shizuka's suspicions there. If he was an Exorcist, that means something was up. And she wasn't far off those thoughts at all        "Shit. A demon? We've had our fair few amount of freaks in this city, but never any demons or that kind of stuff." She poised a finger to her lip, tapping at it thoughtfully before continuing, "However. No one in the city, that I know of, has been victim to this demon thing. Unless it's some kinda personal thing."

—♤ Shizuka remained silent for a little under a minute, whilst the other explained in a simple sentence what he was doing around these parts. A job? What kind of job? Of course, again, it was none of her business, but knowing the ins and outs of Ikebukuro, why wasn’t she informed of this job that was suddenly hovering around.        "A job, huh? So why use an outsider for it. We’ve got plenty of people here willing to do a kind of job, it pays well. And let me tell you, you look like one of those well-paid guys." She really was getting off on the wrong foot, but she did feel an essence of danger emitting from this guy. So She decided to grab as much information as she needed, just to prove to herself that this guy was legit. She didn’t like the plan she came up with, however. It felt too much like her. But it had to be done.

—♤ Jesus shit, what a pain this turned out to be. Shizuka kept a watchful eye on the train station that led strangers and citizens alike into the grand city of Ikebukuro. More and more strangers were pouring out than ever before. Of course, she knew about this summer break, but she didn't think that she would be dealing with so many people. She didn't wish to acknowledge them all straight on, as she had done with previous visitors, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to keep them in her line of sight.        "... Fucking Hell. I swear to God, if that Kanra has anything to do with this, I'm going to burn her hair." A muttered threat was made under Shizuka's breath, as she continued to watch all these new people pool out onto the streets.

--♤ More shady looking figures? Shizuka muttered a few choice words under her breath as the these strangers kept piling themselves in to Ikebukuro. She'd have to have some words with whoever wasn't doing their job properly at this rate, considering this number of new people entering. 

Unceremoniously, Shizuka called over to this new guy, skipping the formalities almost completely. She wasn't ready to deal with anymore more bullshit, and unfortunately, this guy was in the firing line.        "Ey. Kiddo. Listen, I don't want to cause any trouble in such a peaceful town. But I gotta know. Are you an accomplice to any of these other strangers waltzing in? And don't just say no, I can tell when someone's lying to me, alright."
