It'd been quite a while since Retsu had seen Lylyana. With all the hubbub of the past few months she'd hardly had the time for leisurely visits but now that she was stuck wandering the streets of Tokyo she had a more than valid reason to pay the forest dweller another visit: laying low. In truth she only knew of her address through Rui. She'd been quite surprised to find out they'd both met her and even more so when she eventually heard what they'd gotten up to by now. While deciphering what Rui had written in between all the emojis wasn't the easiest task Retsu had managed to get a rough idea of the situation and more importantly an address. Stopping near Hamatakekumano Shrine she sent a text that she was in the area and would be dropping by unless Lylyana was busy before continuing on for the final part of her drive. She took it slow, taking in the area as she went just in case anything felt fishy. "Yo, long time no see." Retsu greeted Lylyana once she'd parked her bike and knocked on the door, one hand raising up the hood of her hoodie to make sure Lylyana could see who she was. "How ya been?"

Lylyana was looking into the legality behind her inherited home and how she could claim it when Retsu had sent her a text. She smiled as she replied, letting Retsu know she was free. Her neighbor had given her some questioning looks, but no police had come to investigate the house. It was definitely a difference living here on her own versus living here with her mother. The shrine in the distance was a constant reminder. She heard the knock on the door and went to answer it. It was weird compared to the woods. She had been used to everyone meeting in random places. She had opened the door and smiled. "Hey. It has definitely been some time." She motioned to welcome her in, after examining to make sure it was Retsu. "I have been well. Thanks to Rui and Ishtar. I have been trying to acclimate to living in a home, instead of in the forest. This was my mother's house. Though I am trying to figure out if it passed to my name by default or if I have to claim it." She shrugged, not really sure. "How have you been? And thank you again for the phone." She smiled as she sat on the couch. She was surprised it was still in good condition, considering everything. She motioned for Retsu to come take a seat as well. She wasn't used to being a host. She just knew that she could try to imitate what her mother had tried to do for guests. "Do you need something to eat? I can try to grab food for us."---- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

From anyone else Retsu would've taken her words as a jibe about not helping out more but somehow she doubted that was what Lylyana meant. Pausing at the front door she cast a glance at the house as if just now seeing it for the first time. It wasn't too far from the truth. She'd hardly been paying it any attention yet somehow Lylyana's words recontextualized the place. Gave it some sort of invisible weight Retsu didn't feel like thinking about. "Kent say ah know much 'bout inheritances. If ya run inta trouble ya ken probably just bother Facade about it. Ah dun' think it'd take 'im more than a minute ta fake legal documents and if ya need ta get y'r hands on any physical copies that'd prove 'em false ah ken get us inta places." Had she been more introspective she might have wondered whether there was a reason she was willing to go that far but Retsu was never one to mind the details. Especially when they risked bringing up sore memories. Unfortunately for her Lylyana's next question forced her to recall them anyway. "No big deal. Ah 'ad plenty." Her lips curled as she continued. "Eh. Mah place got raided by heroes 'nd law enforcement recently but ah blew it up with 'em still inside so ah'll count it as a win."She did. Really. Disregard the fact that her mood still soured every time she thought of it. Something anyone would have when thinking of a victory, right? Shaking her head she put the thought aside. She'd repay the pricks five times over. A snort escaped her as she took a seat as well. "Try ta grab food? How literal are we talkin' there?"------ Tags: lylyth

Lylyana listened to Retsu's words and nodded. Facade, she would have to remember that name for the future. She would need to keep it in mind in case she ran into trouble. For now, she would sit without consulting them. It was that moment she caught her talking about her house. "You blew up your house? That doesn't seem like the greatest idea. You are welcome to stay around here if you need a place to stay. There is a spare room in the back of the house." She said as she made her way to the kitchen. "I do not mean hunting, if that is what you had in mind. I have already gathered plenty of food." She said as she carefully maneuvered her wings around the door frame. "Plus I went to the store and bought some food for the house. Granted, I don't have any cooked meat so that may inconvenience you. I do have rice, fruits, and vegetables. I don't have any snacks or junk food though. I don't really have much desire for that." She thought for a second. She didn't really have much need for a stove, but maybe she would need to figure out how to use it for when guests were over. Then again, she didn't really know how to cook anything outside of rice. It was easy enough to cook that in a rice cooker. She was certain that Retsu would at least be able to find something. "What do you say? Any food?"----- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

"Maybe naht," Retsu shrugged, "but ah reckon the pigs ain't gonna try ta fook with whatever place ah decide ta get next anytime soon. Naht unless they gaht one hella of a good life insurance."She followed Lylyana into the kitchen while talking. " 'ppreciate the offer," Retsu said and to her surprise meant it, "but ah'll pass. Bit too far away from mah usual huntin' grounds." Snorting at the choice of words given what they were talking about she nodded along to Lylyana's words while leaning up against the counter. She only narrowly managed to stop herself from raising a brow at the clarification that she didn't have any cooked meat. Then again given what she saw during their last meeting Retsu really shouldn't have been surprised. "Ah ken help out."Having lived by herself since she was sixteen and been independent long before she knew how to put something together with whatever ingredients were available. Days spent living on the street or laying in a ditch meant she wasn't exactly the pickiest eater either. Something that was changing as the zeroes in her bank accounts multiplied but it was impossible to forget her roots. "Or we could order something," she continued while holding up her phone. "Ah dunno whether y've done it yet but ya ken have a bunch a things brought ta y'r doorstep dese days. Groceries, food, clothes. All ya need ta live if y'r sick of goin' out fer a while."She left it unsaid that with access to ENKI there was a whole lot more than just the essentials that Lylyana could get her hands on without anyone knowing of it. For the right price, of course. Putting the thought aside she scrolled through the list of places that delivered to this address. None of the usual joints she ordered from in Tokyo came all the way out here -obviously- so she had naught but reviews to go on. Given how much trust she put into the opinions of others following those was almost anathema to her. She supposed she'd have to take a gamble. It didn't take her long to find something that might work for both of them. "How d'ya feel 'bout sushi?"------ Tags: lylyth

Lylyana nodded. It was probably going to cause the police to be hesitant if everything just exploded. Why risk it. "Well, unless they have explosion resistance. That could be a concern." She said, not really sure if there was anyone like that. It was understandable that the house was quite far. The distance could be off-putting but it also offered police protection. Lylyana nodded when Retsu suggested she could help out. She wasn't used to cooking, not like she really needed to. Cooking was mostly for meat and rice. Rice, she could put them in the rice cooker and hit a button. She was about to say something when Retsu mentioned that they could order. She could order groceries, food and clothes? That's interesting. "Do you need a card or something to order? I only have cash." She was concerned that she wouldn't be able to order anyway, though maybe she could. Lylyana smiled as she mentioned sushi. "Yea, sushi will work." She mentioned as she thought about it. She didn't know how much it would be. "Um, how much would it be? I can see if I can grab the money." She smiled innocently as her smile probably didn't look as innocent as she meant. She was glad she didn't keep all of her money in the main house but she should have about twenty thousand yen in her bedroom. She also didn't know how long it would take for someone to deliver anything out here. She had never tried. ---- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

Retsu couldn't help but snort. An explosive-resistant cop. Wouldn't that be quite something? Why, that just might be the day she'd see a pig fly. She was sure enough of a payload could manage it. If it didn't, well, she put the thought aside as she scrolled through the sashimi. "Ya ken use y'r phone ta order. Most places let ya either pay cash on delivery or just through y'r account. 'Ave ya set one up yet?"In hindsight that might be a stupid question. Without someone to handle the paperwork she'd found that setting something like that up was a pain. Perhaps Lylyana had better experiences but Retsu herself sure wasn't interested in ever having to go through the process again. The fact that she'd been fourteen when she'd set hers up and had to rely on threats to get past parental approval processes completely slipped her mind. "Mah treat, consider it a housewarmin' gift."Retsu had never given one of those but she'd heard it was a thing people did. Besides, it wasn't exactly like she was short on cash at the moment. It'd been coming in as quickly as it could be laundered recently. Pressing whatever seemed appetizing she ordered enough sushi and sashimi to feed at least four people. With a mental shrug she justified it with the excuse that Lylyana could just throw any leftovers in the fridge. If she had one yet. "Hmm, is y'r fridge running?" Retsu asked right after she finished placing the order. "We moight 'ave ta eat a lot if it ain't."

Lylyana gave a strange look as she tried to figure out why Retsu was snorting. She didn't know that Retsu was part boar. Or was it something humans did anyway? She hadn't heard a human make that sound before. She shrugged. Who was she to judge? She is just a vile demon. "Uh, account?" She had not explored her phone all that much. She didn't know she could set something up. "How do I do that?" She looked at her phone. She had not idea how this infernal thing worked. What did she need to do for ordering stuff? She had no idea. Did she just need to push a few buttons? Did she need to write something to a person? She was happy that Retsu was going to pay for it. While she wasn't sure of a housewarming gift, a gift was good nonetheless. She was going to be happy about eating some sushi. It would be different than what she was used to. She cleared her thoughts as she was asked about the fridge. "Yes, I was able to get power back up. The fridge is old but it was working when I tried it." She showed Retsu a very old, though clean looking thanks to Rui, refrigerator. The hinges were rusted, though efforts to scrub the rust off was evident. "All of the equipment in here are from my mother. She had bought them when she was still alive." The age on all of the appliances were evident, though Lylyana does not seem to realize how dangerous the appliances probably are. --- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

"Ah roite, the phone ah got ya moite be a bit too old ta set up an account with. Hmm. Wait, didn'tcha 'ave an ENKI phone too now?" Retsu asked while snapping her fingers in realization. It wasn't exactly common these days for any phone on the market to not be a smartphone but the 'retro' style of phones had the kind of niche popularity that meant you could always find a few stores that kept them in stock. Something that suited Retsu perfectly. While the ones she used for her C4 were sourced through more untraceable means having access to other suppliers in a pinch was rather convenient and the lack of internet connection the 'true retro' phones had made it far less likely someone could activate her explosives when they were a bit too close to her for comfort. It was rather inconvenient in this case though. If it hadn't been for the ENKI phone Lylyana would likely still be cut of from quite a few conveniences. "We'll 'ave ta getcha a proper smartphone soon, risky usin' the untrackable fer everythin' after all, but fer now ENKI's will do. Lemme show ya 'ow ta set up a temporary account once ah've finished ordering."Nodding along to Lylyana's words Retsu's eyes were drawn to the fridge and she took several steps towards it. "Now dis bring back memories. Ah started out fixin' stuff up lahk this one ya know?" Retsu said while running a hand over the side of it. " Ah reckon ah've worked on about 'alf a dozen a dis model."It was rare that Retsu was confronted with anything related to her past in a positive manner, much less anything she could be proud about. A content sigh escaped her before she turned back to Lylyana and ran her through the process of setting up a bank account through her ENKI phone. Normally it'd take quite a bit of paperwork but the advantage of getting an anonymous bank account through less than legal was that it had a lot less red tape. They were just about done when there was someone at the door, even with Retsu taking the time to make sure Lylyana understood it was best not to use this less than legal account for everything and that she should probably see about setting up a normal bank account soon. "Ah reckon that's the food. D'ya wanna get that? Moite be best if ah'm naht seen 'ere, just in case."------ Tags: lylyth

Lylyana just kind of tilted her head. The phone was too old to set up an account with. She wondered how that would be possible. Granted, she didn't have much exposure to cell phones outside of what her sister used. She pondered on Retsu's words for a bit. A proper smartphone? What did that look like? She remembered the phone that had been given to her by Ishtar and she paused. She walked into her bedroom and grabbed her other phone. It was just a screen to Lylyana. While Lylyana left it charged, she had no idea how to use it. It didn't help that her fingers were not the most human. She walked back to Retsu to show her the other phone. "You mean this screen that I don't really know how to do anything with? My claws don't work well with it, so it is just kind of there. The phone you gave me is much more usable." She smiled when Retsu mentioned that she could fix the fridge easily. That would help a lot. She would prefer not to spend too much of her sister's money if she could help it. She wondered if there were more hidden stashes around her sister's house. She doubted it. As Retsu showed her how to set up a bank account, she was curious if she really needed it. It's not like many will try to mess with her. Those that do wouldn't know she had the money hidden anyway. "Do I need a bank account if I don't work and don't have normal income?" She pondered to Retsu as she heard the knock on the door. She nodded and made her way to the door. "No problem." She opened the door to a now terrified delivery man. He offered her the food, to which she gladly accepted. "Thank you." She said, shutting the door. She brought the food over to where Retsu was. "Yes, that was it."---- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

"Aye, that one'd do the trick," Retsu replied upon seeing the new phone. Extending her hand to grab it should Lylyana agree to let go she pressed the button on the site to boot it up while they set things up. "Hmm, well, good question."As far as she knew it was but her life was very different from Lylyana's. Retsu had worked either legally or illegally for almost as long as she could remember and had set up a bank account out of necessity. "Ah guess naht? If ya ever need it ya ken still do it then."While Lylana got the delivery the phone finished booting up and Retsu tried opening it only to be stopped by a lockscreen. "Hmm," she hummed as Lylyana returned with the food. "Seems lahk it's got a code on it, ya wouldn't 'appen to know what it is? Maybe y'r birthday or somethin'?" She asked offhandedly while handing the phone back and beginning to unpack and set up the food. "Either way let's eat, ah'm fookin' starving," Retsu joked while picking a pair of disposable chopsticks, snapping the connection between them and rubbing them together to get rid of the splinters. On the lid of one of the sushi packagings she emptied a soy sauce container that came with the food and added a more than generous dollop of wasabi. "Any preferences?" She asked while gesturing with her chopsticks towards the wide assortment of sushi and sashimi on the table.

Lylyana pondered the question more. She finally came to a realization that she didn't really care enough to create a bank account. She had her cash hidden well enough and it would likely last most of her life if not all of it. She technically did not know how long demons like her lived. She would have to ask someone? Who would she ask? Maybe Rui. Lylyana had returned with the food, as Retsu looked at the phone. "That would be the day my mother was murdered by a hero." She said with a somber tone. While it was a painful reminder, it was still a reminder that she had to kill the hero that murdered her mother. As she entered the pin, she sighed. She knew it did no good to get angry about it. She needed a way to control this anger. Either that or a way to absolutely annihilate the hero that had been involved. She looked over the food that Retsu had laid out. She had grown hungry waiting for the food to be delivered. "I don't really have a preference. It has been a while since I have had true sushi." She reached down and put her claw through one of the pieces of sushi. It was almost like using a fork or pair of chop sticks through the center of the roll. Where she didn't like condiments, it worked out well for her to just do it this way. Not like chop sticks worked well in her hands anyway. She had eaten a few pieces and looked over to Retsu. "Thank you for the food. It is much appreciated and delicious." She smiled and took another piece. ----- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

"Huh, well that sucks," the veritable fond of empathy known as Bakiri Retsu replied. "Did'ya get the fooker back yet?"
She wasn't exactly surprised to hear what Lylyana said. In her opinion heroes were simply enforcers with permits to mess with anyone the people in charge didn't like. Little more than goons with good PR. She'd been on the other side of their so-called justice enough that she knew better. The license was just an excuse for them to commit violence without having to face any of the repercussions. It's said that people reveal their true selves right before they die and Retsu had seen enough masks come off to know they weren't anything special. "We ken pro'lly find 'em if ya haven't."It wasn't like Retsu sought out fights with Pro Heroes but she had no intention of shying away from them either. Depending on what they were like she had no problem lending a hand in putting them down herself or connecting Lylyana to the right people to help make it happen. She was halfway through a bite when she was shaken out of her thoughts. Coughing as it went down the wrong pipe Retsu quickly cracked open one of the cans she'd ordered with the sushi and took a swig. "Ah, yeah. Nah worries," she responded before raising her can once more to continue drinking. As much as it added a fiery bit of spice to the taste wasabi was quite the pain -literally- when stuff went wrong. "So, any clue yet what y'r gonna be gettin' up ta once y'r all settled?"

Lylyana sighed. "Unfortunately, I don't remember his face. I was blinded by rage and while I know I struck him, I do not know if I did any damage. I was only 11 at the time. I have been trying to find clues in the meantime. It's been difficult to say the least." She was happy to hear Retsu could find probably find them. She had been on the run since she was 11. Hiding out from cops made her difficult to find, but also made it difficult to find information. She was curious how wide spread that net could be cast. She needed to find the two heroes from that day. She probably wanted to execute the doctors and police involved but that was a trip for another day. She needed to remember their quirks or something. She was pulled out of her train of thought by Retsu coughing. She cocked her head, hoping her friend was alright. She grabbed another piece of sushi as she was asked the question of the day. "With my housing stabilized, I need to find out if the cops from seven years ago are still trying to find me. Between my escape from the hospital and being found once before evading sight for five years, I don't know if they are still looking for me. Then I have to find the news articles from that day seven years ago. There is no way that there was not some kind of news about it. Whether a full article or a snippet. They will probably have blamed the villain though."----- Tags: Bakiri Retsu

"ENKI ken pro'lly 'elp with that," Retsu responded offhandedly while gesturing towards the phone in question. There were plenty of databases with all manner of information connected to that thing. If Lylyana couldn't find it on there, either because the info wasn't on it or because she didn't know enough about the heroes in question to find it, there were a fair few information brokers that were either part of ENKI or could be contacted through intermediates. "Bunch a' ways ta find stuff through that thing."While Retsu herself was reticent to do too many of her searches through a single channel lest the one with access to said channel manages to figure out too much of her arsenal she'd nonetheless been using its services more and more. Practicality and paranoia warred evermore but there was a point where paranoia required practicality, for Retsu had as many enemies without as she had within. "Sounds lahk a plan, if ya need any 'elp ya know how ta find me," Retsu replied with a nod before chugging the rest of her can. Checking the time on her phone she realized it was later than she thought it was. How odd. Time rarely passed by faster than she expected it outside of when she was crafting. "Welp, looks lahk it's about tahm a get goin' again. Got a place ah need ta check out 'fore it gets too dark. Harder ta see if y'r 'bout ta get shot when it is," she joked as she pushed herself upright with a groan. "Been noice catchin' up. Keep me posted, ya? See ya 'round, Lyl."
