Megumi sat at a nice bench that overlooked a Shinjuku freeway, doing some people watching as she had been for the past several hours. Patiently sitting and waiting for the two she was working with on an impromptu job. She felt excitement over having a hand in some rather odd tasks, especially since it was mutually beneficial to her two current compatriots.
The first was Mira, whom after meeting during their time at a Night Club began to associate with one another more freely. In one of their little food outings, Mira had freaked out over something and demanded help out of Megumi to acquire one of her family heirlooms. Of course the cold skinned woman was more than willing to assist, even offering to see if other associates would be willing to assist on short notice.
Which lead to the second, which was Nox. Her current sensei who was helping train the Priestess' body to match level of training that Megumi envisioned herself supposedly having when using a Trick Scythe. Though, since Scythes were rather impossible in regards to finding ways to train in the real world, she opted to the way of the swords, entwining Megumi's fate with Nox's in a Student/Sensei relationship. Though there was definitely an open air of the two agreeing to a partnership of sorts, and of course after sharing some of the details in how Megumi and an associate were going to poach an illegal trade; Nox definitely wanted to have a hand in it as long as she had her share.
And thus Megumi sat, just patiently watching the people cross the streets below with cars whizzing by on the road in between sidewalks. A smile on her face as she wore clothes that definitely seemed out of place on her, considering she opted to wear a lot more classier clothing. A loose black jacket worn atop a rather slimming black tank-top, with what looked like brand new black jeans and new pair of red and white sneakers. Even her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, to hopefully not impede on any business that may happen later that evening.
Drinking some canned tea as she continued people watching, and sketching mindlessly into her notebook.

As Mercy was comforting this man, the voice of a new person rang out from the end of the alleyway. A rather effeminate looking person soon ran over to the injured man, tearing chunks of her shirt and knelt by him. Working to staunch the blood, which soon earned an unamused look from the dark haired Macabre Mistress.
Silence didn't seem to stop this woman, as she would look up and seemed shocked to look into Mercy's face. Trying to instruct her to help the man or potentially call an ambulance, whilst talking about saving his life. "He chose to leap off of the building, is not Kinder to make his last moments comforting than force him to continue living in agony?"
A hand from Mercy would try to take Kysaly's, attempting to gently move the ripped cardigan away from the wound. A light amount of force was used as she wasn't forcing this death to happen, as it was her duty to grant a final moment's Kindness. Something Kysaly would be able to notice that she wouldn't be able to feel the man's pain at all, thanks to the Soul Energy that Mercy was imparting onto the dying man.
"I spent my years at the company," The man drunkenly blustered out, "And after *HIC* almost being pushed off a building some Suicidal Weirdo, I get fired because I asked for the vacation I put off as I wanted *HIC* to deal with this stress!" Referring to a rather odd interaction between an upstart villain and a bat-vigilante, this gentleman was having quite the rough month and seemed inconsolable to the point of attempting to actually end it.
"There, there lost soul. Don't you worry, Kindness will embrace and comfort you in the afterlife," Mercy would continue comforting the man, making sure he felt no pain from his broken leg. Patting his hair to ensure he was in good hands, as she looked up at Kysaly with a more well put expression, "I can call for an ambulance once Lady Death has taken his soul to her realm."

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Purpose of Wrath, Offer of Kindness [attr="class","rhythm"]

The Tall woman continued standing with her hands crossed, fingers interwoven between them and down at her front. Showing no real change in her steady demeanor until Bakuretsu parroted back the fact that she may be blessed by Wrath. Seeing as this was an opportunity to elaborate, Megumi's eyes seemingly twinkled as she would do her best to explain, "Yes. Wrath of the Fourteen Fundamentals is the Patron of Justice and Retribution, and his blessing is earned rather than bestowed. Upon discovering you through online archives, it was of my belief that someone as extraordinary as you must surely be of some import to Wrath."
There wasn't the slightest hint of any kind of superiority in her tone when talking about Kindness, nor any disdain at any mention of Wrath. In fact, her tone was somewhere of a mixture of reverence and respect towards Bakuretsu, as the violet haired woman was more than likely an important person within the Authority of the Fundamentals. People who challenged the authority and laws of man were always necessary, as a stagnant order does not beget a growing humanity.
After the formal introduction of Bakiri Retsu, the formalities were dropped as Miss Retsu wanted to know why the 'fook' she was being sought after. A light and simple, "Heh heh," left Megumi's lips as this was to be expected of getting right to the point. "In brief, we would like to requisition your esteemed services as a craftswoman to bring a specialized tool into the mortal plane. And in exchange I will provide financial payment and give myself unto you as an ally."
Quite the seemingly one-sided offer in which Megumi had everything to lose, it seemed asinine that someone would devote themselves to a stranger just because of some asinine beliefs. But to Megumi, she really didn't need much more proof to believe that Bakiri Retsu was chosen by Wrath. The Villain's previous actions spoke to great lengths as to her capabilities, after all.
"I was chosen as Kindness' sole envoy recently, and as the Fundamentals operate in the Other Realm it falls upon me to procure a worthy tool to use for her goals. Lady Death's Trick Scythe, as it were. I have rudimentary drawings in one of my notebooks on my personage from my memory of training with Kindness, detailing the 'trick' to it as it were," Reaching to the satchel she carried, a note-book was pulled out and handed over to Miss Retsu.
Flipping it open, the Violet Haired woman would see several sketches of artifacts the woman sketched within the museums before ultimately landing on a page in which a scythe was drawn in pencil, noting that the blade of the scythe can detach from the pole and be transfigured into a sword-mode of sorts, while the scythe's pole which at longest would match Megumi's full height could fold itself into a meter-long pole that could be utilized for various purposes as well.
"In exchange for your services, I offer financial support to pay for the creation of our tool, which I believe is to be expected," Megumi would nod as she tilted her satchel towards Miss Retsu, revealing a bundle of yen notes banded together barely peaking through the darkness of her brown and black bag, "And as a fellow chosen of a Fundamental, I offer myself to work alongside or under you in whatever goals you strive towards."

Having stepped in with the frosted blade, the two would clash as both blades would freeze together. Nox was impressed with the little implement, as Mercy would hold back her palm thrust for the moment to answer the query, "It is not. Souls are by nature lacking in heat, hence why Kindness takes care to give them warmth and comfort in the afterlife." The acolyte would attempt to continue the palm thrust, only to find Nox uttering the word 'Ignite' and caused her blade to burn.
Mercy's pupils dilated a little bit, though still seemed demure through rigorous amounts of emotional training. With their blades melted away from one another, Nox would move out of range of the frosted palm touch. Slowly pulling herself back into stance, the Death-touched woman would give pause and watch the flames whittle away.
Her teacher would go on to talk about a partnership of sorts that could go on between the Master and Student. Such a proposition would go well in the grand scheme of Lady Kindness' machinations and Megumi's own delusions. With a head tilt and a smile, Mercy would pledge, "My loyalty already lies with you, and it is within my belief that our fates run parallel. You may use me as a tool just as Lady Death herself would, as long as our agreement to hone my edge is held. I shall give warning if our paths my divert as my life belongs to Kindness itself; but until then I agree to such notions, Sensei Nox."
Full submission and even an admission to being a tool to be utilized, Mercy was fully injecting herself into Nox's own lifestyle. While naive herself about the world at large, Death's Apostle would see an importance to making ally's with someone as well-versed as Nox. The sturdiness and strength of the Ronin alone informed the priestess of her capabilities being beyond the norm, plus an open mindset towards quirk usage and finding ways to criticize the world's systems at large... There was more to Nox that set her apart from the standard teachers, and Mercy/Megumi saw it as fate to have found such a fine sensei.
At the instructions to come at her again, Mercy would move forward with yet another strike. This time opting for a complete overhead strike that would come swinging down towards Nox. And if connecting with wood, Mercy would step backward with a reverse thrust, before stepping in once more with an upward vertical strike. Continuing with alternating practice swings between the two, as Mercy continued to exert herself in a way to push past her limits and keep an open mind towards learning new skills.

Megumi would continue standing at the edge of the table until the one who seemed to have the most serious demeanor spoke up, as Elias would remark that their night shouldn't be spoiled through the rough-housing between the smaller girls. Regardless, her eyes widened at the red threads forming at his fingertips that whipped across to the nearby table, pulling a chair over to their group and offering it to her with some nice words. "Much obliged for the Kind words, sir," She offered a well-mannered curtsy before taking a seat.
As she would join them at the table, the security team whilst doing their research would probably have high chances of success in figuring out who exactly the cold-skinned gentlewoman was due to the distinctive Priestess Robes she wore paired with her own appearance. Her name would be associated with an article detailing how a local hero inside of a mall had accidentally used too much force when Megumi Shinsetsu, a local priestess, had her quirk activate in a rather volatile manner within a Music Store. The Priestess was put in a momentary coma for three days straight, before waking up and believing to have lived an alternative life for three years.
Details of this alternative life wasn't shared with the press as she was instructed not to do so by her parents, and she had shown forgiveness towards the local hero. The story in the article even shared a picture of Megumi shaking hands with the local hero, in what can be easily construed as a Photo Op; looking a bit staged just to make the journalism story pop quite a bit.
Besides that, the security staff would find no other online presence to this woman nor any verifiable connection to Hero Organizations or Associations or Agencies. Nor even a criminal record of such, as she was squeaky clean. Just a local priestess, that came to Hibernacula of her own volition with no one following or attempting to trail the priestess.
Returning to the table itself, Megumi had just taken her seat Elias would attempt to request both of well-dressed ladies to regale what had brought them to the Nightclub. The Priestess would fold her hands into her lap, waiting for an opportunity to speak as Rui and Mira would bicker with one another. Her eyes were Kind and soft, a trained smile still present on her face despite the chaotic abruptness or oddities happening between the two.
Though she would be rather confused over being claimed as a Bestie to the horned one AND an Associate towards. She didn't really understand the ensuing conflict, but found it amusing in the same sense of one watching a cartoon. Rui had told her that she should drink with them, and Megumi replied in Kind, "My appreciation for the invitation, Horn Bestie." It was only the polite and Kind thing to do in calling Rui that until she received a name, though saying those words felt a bit foreign as she didn't want to seem unKind in addressing her.
At the same time, Mira was arguing that she had known Megumi's name the entire time, having used the woman's introduction as a way to confirm her own statement. Even going to state that Megumi looked exactly like a Megami/Goddess, which caused a bluish flush to grow on her face. "I don't deserve such Kind Flattery, I'm beyond grateful" Megumi accepted the flattery with grace, whilst admitting she was drawn towards Mira. Mira would reach out towards Megumi, tapping her on the shoulder with a pat-
Quirk Name: Danse Macabre
Quirk Type: Transformation/Emission
Quirk Description: Megumi whilst not transformed is able to use 'Soul Energy' to levitate minor objects that anyone with D- STRENGTH is able to lift several inches above her fingers, has light blue skin that is cold to the touch which also has odd cyan markings that have low-light level glows. There is a chant that the user makes which is personal to them, which transforms their body into a pseudo-skeleton with black skin with see-through/painted on bones and clothing to Female Day of the Dead cultural attire. In this transformed state, the user makes the area around them even colder and can imbue objects they wield with 'Soul Energy.' This Soul Energy once infused into an object can 1) freeze whatever it touches by draining the heat in rapid fashion, potentially creating frost or ice-like effects and 2) dulls the pain tolerance of those attacked or influenced by the Soul Energy, allowing people to not feel any injuries or even be unaware of them.
-and getting a humongous understanding of the quirk. Soon Megumi would realize that it was her turn to order a beverage, to which she would find her inexperience towards the nightlife began to shine. "I express my regret, I do not partake in enough social drinking activities to have a preferential beverage. Would it be permitted of me to try something of which you may recommend?" She spoke to the server, whom would give Elias a glance to see if he might have any input on a recommendation before heading off to get her drink. If Elias did not have any recommendations, the server would prepare the woman a Long Island Ice Tea.
And at the purpose upon them all being here, Rui and Mira would remark on joining the Debating-Coffee-Party/Degenerate-Copy-Party. Another confusing statement, which was compounded by Church's admission that it was actually Debauchery Tea Party. Regardless of the name, Megumi didn't have any ideas one way or another of this grouping, and hence couldn't make such bold proclamations at this time.
What was within her purview was to answer Elias' question. "I currently do not have any previous connections or business to handle at this establishment, I was forthright in my admission in being drawn towards and trailing behind Miss Princess over here," Megumi would relent with a steady tone, comfortable enough to call Mira by that nickname, "I felt the draw of the Fundamentals within her. I currently do not have any knowledge of the Fundamental Blessing she possesses. But I currently live my life to fulfill the purpose of my Mistress, The Fundamental whom has bestowed her blessing upon me, Kindness."
"The Purpose of which is to ensure that those nearing the end of their lives do not suffer, passing assurance that Lady Death is waiting on the other side to embrace their souls with eternal comfort," Megumi would impart without any real consideration to the blasphemy or lunacy such words would bring upon the common folk. Not because the people at this table seemed like certified weirdos whom she could blend in with, but rather this would be a belief she would share with others that take an interest with her and asked.
And in Megumi's humble opinion, Elias asking her purpose in being here was enough of a reason to share.

Having transformed using her Danse Macabre quirk, the young woman standing before Nox seemed a bit more unleashed. Able to stand in a much more determined pose that still held that air of elegance, she would request a slight indulgence in being addressed as Mercy by her teacher. Nox had obliged, calling her Mercy which caused Mercy's smile to open a bit, teeth almost seemed like it shined thanks to the color contrast between it and her skin.
She held the transformed training sword and attacked as instructed by her current teacher, taking a nice fluid movement in the same way it would have as a scythe. There was definitely some sort of miscommunication as it didn't land as well as it should've, at least to Mercy's own mind. To Nox it was shockingly more strong than one might've expected from a complete, untrained amateur. Still inexperienced, but above a normal civilan.
Nox had caught the swing and pushed it away, circling around the woman. The teacher would absolutely feel that the air around Mercy became colder and colder the closer she was in proximity to the tall student. That didn't stop Nox as she instructed Mercy to defend. Taking a step backward, she would pull the blade back whilst watching Nox's step forward. Keeping track of the blade, Mercy would hold the blade to parry and push the first strike away.
Then out of instinct, she would move her second hand to move an invisible staff or pole in the way of the next shoulder strike. Finding nothing there, the second strike would land and Megumi winced in pain. Realizing her blunder, she had to unlearn some of the fake muscle memory built up from the Trick Scythe training until she has someone build it. Regardless she would follow up with parry and parry, pushing the blade away whilst listening to Nox inquire the usage of the Soul Energy.
"Quite. As Long. As you. Permit," Mercy would respond in between each parries, as the air seemed to flash frozen as the Soul Energy was imbued into the wooden training sword. The wooden sword she held would start to drain heat as well, at a far greater intensity that Mercy herself as it would flash freeze both of the swords together. Then with a step forward, the tall Prophet of Death would attempt to do a bold palm press into the center of Nox's chest. Aiming to leave a cold print without overtly freezing or flash freezing her teacher's skin.

Upon sharing both of her answers, Nox seemed pleased for the most part. Though, Megumi would admittedly be rather unaware of the discomfort caused by the mention of Authority. A rather poignant belief that was deeply intertwined within the copious amounts of lore built within this odd belief of hers. By all means it was rather cult-like, yet with the way she would share it with others without imposing on it Megumi was more than happy to let it be seen as such or potentially as a mythology. For the Fundamentals existed whether someone believed in them or not, they still influenced the flow of humanity whether acknowledged or not.
Regardless, Nox would let loose some beliefs of her own in regards to the Hero System. Eyebrows slightly raising at the thought, which was an argument that did have some merit within Megumi's thought processes, while at the same time she could come up with counter-arguments to such an ideal. She would rather opt to keep her mouth shut and listen, to learn more about this woman's beliefs.
"It's no bother if you wish to relent, you have given me allowance in sharing my beliefs," Megumi assured her teacher, before Nox would continue on about her own curiosity towards a meeting with the Mistress. "Ohhh?" A curious, pleasured hum left Megumi's lips as such a though came to both of their minds. Several rash thoughts crossed her mind, but would hold off on them for now. Soon they would finally reach a section of practical training, where Nox would require Megumi's time. "I will make time for training, I give you my word," The student would vow, accepting the blade in hand.
In ways it felt familiar yet foreign. Holding it just the way Kindness had taught her within the Dream, though with it just being a simple sword and not the Trick Scythe her Lady had taught her two use it felt a bit lacking. The sword felt comfortable in her hand, but that was about it.
Nox told Megumi to come after her, but would find an oddity as the cold skinned woman would hold the sword in one hand whilst holding the other in a prayer like position. "You would meet Kindness in the Afterlife, but she has given me the blessing to take her form to act on her behest. Allow me to show you her countenance," Megumi would offer as her voice would start to take a more ritualistic chat whilst uttering...
"Please Do Not Fear The Reaper,
Nor Her Envoy For Their Job;
For We Are The Soul's Keepers,
The Kind Danse Macabre."
Each word that Megumi spoke started to cause the air to thin, frost starting to form fog in the air with the heat differential being cause. Skin started to shift from a pale blue to a pitch black, with her bones seemingly being visible through her skin. Markings formed along her face in the same fashion as sugar skulls, and the clothing would be enveloped in the woman's Soul Energy to be reshaped into the garments of Lady Death.
Even the blade that Megumi was borrowing was affected, as the training sword would change from a typical wooden or bamboo color to that of a dark, black tone with the appearance of painted roses seemingly interlaced into the wood's grain [Flavor]. Taking on the appearance of her lady, Megumi had shown off her quirk to fall into the role of Mercy.
"This is the appearance of Kindness, and she grants the ability to utilize what is called Soul Energy. I apologize for the chills of the Underworld whilst I take on her appearance, and I apologize for one somewhat intrusive request of mine. Whilst I take on my Mistress' likeness, I would ask you address me as Mercy," The Student would share, before attempting to slide forward toward Nox, holding the blade in a one-handed style as if she were using her Trick Scythe's collapsed form. Going for a overhead strike, Mercy would apply a crescent shape curve to the strike path to aim for the side of Nox's neck.
Fully confident in her teacher's ability to defend.

The coupling of the 'Yo' along with the crunch of broken glass shattering even further alerted Megumi to the arrival of the person she was searching for. The voice alone was a near match to what she heard over the broadcast recording she found on the internet. Turning around, the mild mannered Priestess would find herself face to face with one of the larger criminal elements that was within Tokyo. Megumi was either naive or delusional to remain calm despite having essentially called out this criminal element.
In fact, Megumi continued wearing her well trained smile especially as Bakuretsu called out this rather aberrant behavior. The Priestess was rather happy to find that her blind searching had pulled such a success, not aware of the tense air between the two. "Lady Kindness has blessed me with luck in finding you," Megumi spoke reverently, though she was unaware of the vocabulary she used had a good potential of setting off some accidental red flags.
When in actuality, the direct sincerity and naivete of Megumi was at full display.
"I apologize if my search inconveniences you, as I had performed research in discovering potential allies who may have been blessed by the Fundamentals," Megumi would offer a reasoning as to why she was searching for Bakuretsu, "For someone as passionate as yourself to boldly take over the broadcast of the Police Institution to declare your revolution against the worldly institutions, I have an inkling you may have been blessed by Wrath. Even if you aren't, I would still like to make business with you as I believe you have skills in craftsmanship, yes?"
With all this loony speak, many passerby would probably chalk Megumi's words as to something akin to a madwoman. Yet, all was spoken in even, measured tones. "My deepest condolences as I momentarily forgot my manners upon the elation of finding you this quickly. I am Megumi Shinsetsu, a pleasure meeting you."

Having expunged a bit on her own beliefs, Megumi would feel the attention of Nox catch hold. Her sensei, from what Megumi could believe, was rather entranced with the idea behind the new beliefs the young heretical priestess shared. Specifically following the sect of Kindness, Megumi would watch Nox's lips curve into a smile. Continuing this rather trained manner of speaking, she concluded that Death was the Ultimate Kindness.
Nox would agree that it was an interesting take on kindness, as she seemed rather open about learning other beliefs as long as they weren't forced upon her. Quickly clarifying that it didn't feel like Megumi had forced them upon her, to which the Kind Woman nodded, "Indeed." The would hold two fingers up in front of the woman in order to get the student's attention, especially now that her sensei was interested behind Megumi's beliefs.
The first would pertain to other Fundamentals, with an assumption being made on Nox's part when it became rather silly, and then a much more serious question was delved upon when it came to when Death is to be given as the Ultimate Kindness. "Why certainly, both questions I do have answers for. Though I must make a slight clarification..."
"Out of the Fourteen Fundamentals, only Lady Kindness chooses a single being at any given time to accept her blessing upon this world. In her words it is due to how death is inevitable in this world, as everyone will find comfort in Lady Kindness' warmth upon reaching her realm of Afterlife, hence not having such a dire need for vassals in the Realm of the Living," Which in the grand scheme of things was mighty convenient for Megumi's beliefs and delusions concerning these Fundamentals.
She then gave slight pause, slight uncertainty infecting her continued tone, "The remaining Thirteen operate far more vicariously within the Realm of the Living. Whereupon they are far more Charitable in the amount of those they bless, at the expense of the the strength of such blessings. So there could be many others blessed by the other Fundamentals, whereas I am tasked by Kindness to give comfort to those suffering and ensure the other Fundamentals act as one under the Authority." Megumi would choose here to stop upon, as Nox was free to inquire more about it at her leisure.
But the more heavy question would leave the young woman paused for a moment as she chose her words carefully, "I have not personally taken a life, for I have only been blessed by Kindness in the past month. However, upon this hypothetical that will soon turn to reality, there are two answers. The first would be in terms of duty, as I would only grant the Ultimate Kindness to those suffering and wish for an end. Death is inevitable, and it is my duty to ensure those who are suffering find comfort in their final moments or, if they sincerely request it, would allow me to send them to my Mistress sooner."
"Then comes the second answer, which is in terms of the Authority. Those who seek to hinder humanities progress should be pruned from the world, whether they act against the interest of the greater humanity or reject the Fundamentals. This also falls in the category of self-defense."
Her voice would hold a serious tone at each mention of the Authority, almost in the same cadence of one more fearful or overtly respectful of a god. But overall would keep as an even cadence as Megumi would follow Nox's guidance through the Dojo.

"Please Do Not Fear The Reaper, Nor Her Envoy For Their Job; For We Are The Soul's Keepers, The Kind Danse Macabre."
The words were uttered as the air grew cold, the tall woman's skin grew dark and black. Her skeletal structure underneath would start to illuminate and shine through her skin, her body and makeup manifesting and modifying the clothes on her body. A well trained smile held upon her face, as Megumi had transformed into the Prophet of Kindness herself. Borrowing her Lady's visage and using the name bequeathed upon her, Mercy had been going for nightly strolls as her Lady Kindness' face.
Making nightly strolls through the semi-safe sections of Tokyo Bay, Mercy sought to improve upon her body's capabilities. This blessing that Lady Kindness bestowed upon her was still one that needed time and effort to appropriately hold, as even holding this form was super draining. Such quirk trainings became hard to explain within her family's household, as Mercy was very much aware of how repugnant her parents can get if their own priestess of a daughter strayed away from the message of their sect.
Last time Mercy had brought the topic up, her parents had taken it upon themselves to destroy her laptop; claiming that the internet was filling her head with foul ideas before returning to lounging in front of the television to absorb whatever garbage without any critical thought. She knew for a fact that there would be hell to pay if their world-view was shattered from gazing upon Mercy's newly borrowed form.
Nonetheless, she made nightly strolls and would speak well with whatever locals remained awake during the twilight hours. Even running into a hero or two that were curious about her appearance, but couldn't disprove that this was her natural state of appearance.
Turning inland as she was about finished for the day, her ears would catch something rather dreadful. The sound of a sickening splatter against the pavement, along with a howl of agony. Mercy would hasten her even, practiced pace as she turned a corner into an alleyway. The appearance of a businessman was barely illuminated within the dingy alley, a leg bent in a manner it wasn't supposed to and dread ever so present on his face.
"Why did I have to land on my feet, it would've ended if-," The grief stricken business man would holler out loud, definitely going through some shock as bones were sticking out of his legs and him bleeding out. His voice would continue out in a rather wrought state, and Mercy would soon approach him.
"There there, lost soul," Mercy would gently approach the rather startled businessman, who in his surprise was rather frightened by the macabre appearance of the tall woman. However, Mercy was faster than that of a crawling, injured man. Closing the distance, she would crouch and place a hand on his wound, as she allowed her Soul Energy pass into his leg.
The man soon realized his pain was gone. "There, there. I suppose you attempted to end your life?" A meek nod from the businessman would only allow Mercy to continue, "Then allow me to grace your final moments with comfort. Whatever woes that caused you to such means, just know that such pain will fade in the afterlife. You'll find peace and comfort for the rest of Eternity in the good graces of Kindness."
Positioning him around, she would sit right behind him and let the frightened man sit on her lap. Letting him rest on her body as he continued to bleed out, doing her best to grant him comfort in these final moments with a genuine human's touch and Kindness.

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Kindness of the 14 Fundamentals
|
Megumi wouldn't comment on the curiosity of having a mistress, and seemed to agree on the sentiment of being able to care for her Master's teachings. Madame Hattori smiled at the name she was given. Nox began circling Megumi, who remained ever still, facing forward as she would allow her teacher to observe her potential student.
Nox in her circling would seem happy at the moment to hear that money wasn't an issue and that she was more than willing to teach Megumi. However, there were some disciplines that Nox wanted to instill within the Kindly Priestess. Instilling a belief that Kenjutsu was a way of life, and that she wouldn't be happy if she takes it lightly. Having quite a great amount of Pride in her own craft, Megumi's smile would grow quite a bit at seeing the glimmer of a Fundamental within this woman.
"I vow to accept your skill with grace and honor, to dedicate myself to honing my body to a point worthy of the skills you'll bequeath upon me," Megumi would iterate and pledge to Nox, meeting the woman's gaze with a kind intensity. Finding no sort of hesitation nor doubt about herself, as the young woman felt that she could absolutely follow through with such disciplines. Lady Death believed and trusted that Megumi could undergo her training regimen, and thusly Megumi believed that Kindness' Prophet can undergo any training regimen.
Nox returned a smile as she would inquire about Megumi's Mistress's message. "Oh?" Megumi would hum out with her smile, feeling like a door was opening right before her very eyes. "I don't believe in the idea of rejecting other people's ideas or values. Always keeping an open mind to new ideas allows for Humanity to grow in splendor. My Lady's message is of Kindness, one of the 14 Fundamentals."
Taking pause, she would elaborate in full, "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear, the blind can see, and the dead can feel. Lady Kindness welcomes those who are at the end of their lives and are suffering, welcoming them into her realm for which she can care for the souls for the rest of eternity."
Straightening her posture a bit, her voice seemed to pick up a bit as she continued, "People who suffer or despair should be comforted and be given comfort in their darkest of times, in their final moments. For Death is the Ultimate Kindness one can give to those in their final moments of life."
She spoke with full belief in her Kindness' message, more than willing to preach to helping give those that are suffering a final end.

The Bouncer continued holding onto Megumi, ignoring that oddly cold sensation he was feeling from physically holding her. Remaining as professional as ever, he continued to remain stone-faced as he awaited instructions on what to do. After all, to the Bouncer, this woman had some sort of connection if she was following the Pink Princess like this. Then one by one, nearly simultaneously, the majority of the people at this table would snap their attention to the Cyclops and the woman he held.
First the small, blonde would take offense to the Bouncer manhandling her 'bestie.' Followed up with Church calling the oversized Bouncer 'Fido' and telling him to let her go. The Bouncer's hand was already releasing as Mira claimed that the cold skinned woman was Mira's best friend. "'pologies, jus' doin' my job. Enjoy the rest of yer evenings, sirs and madames," The Bouncer remained professional as he let Megumi down onto the ground, turning about face before marching back to his post at the entrance to this section of the club.
Megumi whilst held was doing her best to take in her surroundings and observing what she could of this situation unfolding before her. It was quite an odd sight seeing the woman who on the surface seemed to beautiful and dignified devolve into a rather petulant mess as she was at odds with the horned girl. Meanwhile the two gentlemen seemed to just be observing this altercation occur, just being rather amused by it.
Soon she would find herself released from the Bouncer's grasp, to which she would turn and give him a curtsy, "Thank you for your service, apologies for making myself an issue." "Hrmph," He barely grunted in response, returning back to his post as the cold skinned woman would face the group with a well trained smile on her face. Giving a curtsy, she would give her apologies, "I hope my intrusion isn't a displeasure."
Not taking a seat until given permission to as manners had dictated towards her, the woman stood at the edge of their table. Hands folded into one another with fingers interlocked with one another, eyes maintaining a steady contact with them all as Mira leaned over the table to get up in front of Megumi's visage. There was barely any recoil, a true testament to Megumi's control over her own body's posture. Only reaction coming from Megumi was to lower herself a little so she could remain at an even enough eye level with the pink haired gal.
The eloquently dressed girl then requested the Priestess to regale her name again, which caused a momentary frown as the Priestess searched her memories. "I do not recall meeting you, but that may not be your fault," That frown turned into a soft smile as she dared to introduce herself once more for the first time, "My Mistress had kept me for several years, so memories might be ailing me. My name is Megumi Shinsetsu, it is of the utmost pleasure to make your acquaintances ."
Megumi's own eyes lit up as a new thought entered her mind, her voice picking up a bit more energy through her trained steady tone, "Perhaps... we have met in the past, as that could partially explain why I was drawn to you. That, or you may hold a Fundamental's blessing. I surely hope it is a matter pertaining to the latter," Continuing that conversation, she would keep her posture and body language open so that she wasn't intruding on the group as a whole. Almost seeming like she was more akin to a waiter or host, than a guest intruding on a friend group.

Approaching the one who currently commanded the most authority here, the more normal sized person reacted a only little to Megumi's odd stature. In fact using it as a compliment of sorts to segue into inquiring about Megumi's necessity for a blade. "I require a blade in order to perform my Mistress' duties," Megumi saw no reason to tell falsehoods to someone whom she entrusted to teach her. Wearing that smile on her face as she nodded and kept her hands interlocked with one another, almost seeming otherworldly with the elegant posture she held.
Nox would follow up by mentioning that the Dojo, Nippon Budokan, they taught Kenjutsu. Specifically her 'Old Man' who has a talent for it even if he wasn't in his prime. "A shame that time and age has stolen his skills. I do hope he's being cared warmly," Megumi shared her condolences, to have been given an slight answer as to Nox being an instructor as well. "Oh, you taking up his mantle to keep his legacy alive is quite a Kind gesture." Megumi commented as she added a head bob and tilt to the side, happy to hear that Nox was taking care of his duties so he can enjoy the final years of his life in comfort.
That was when Nox would share the question most pressing on her mind, as Megumi was far disconnected from the usual learners of Kenjutsu. Having a different living style, acting style, body type and age compared to the young hyper active kids or frumpy angsty kids; it was absolutely fair for Nox to believe there was something more to Megumi.
After introducing herself as Nox Hattori, Megumi responded in Kind, "Charmed. It is quite a pleasure to meet you, Madame Hattori." Her own manners shone quite brightly as she respected the well-trained instructor, as she would reply, "To which ends I strive to use your skills are to help spread the word of Lady Kindness' message. It is a pursuit that will put me at odd's ends with those who reject my Lady's message, and my body is currently out of touch with the level of training she gave me before I returned. I wish to recover and hone my skill back to what it must be"
Her even and measured tone almost made it sound like Megumi was reciting poetry or speaking at Mass. That smile never faded as the majority of her movement came from slight head bobs, speaking in such a trained manner that one could honestly think she had memorized a script to share. In reality, this was just Megumi's new normal as she was a bit out of touch with reality itself.
"I can assure you that money is no matter, as I value your skills first and foremost and believe you should be properly compensated for such thing," Megumi would attempt to reassure Nox, making an incorrect assumption as to why her instructor was quite curious about Megumi's intentions or purpose for the training.

Entering the grounds of the Dojo, she was met with a crowd of people swarming around her. All of which were making towards teh exit, a great amount of them looking rather exhausted from all of the supposed training they had endured. Left and right as they left, Megumi continued her well-trained smile as she looked at the historical culture of this dojo. The weathered building and the gravel floor lent to the authenticity and ambiance of the culture here...
Passing them by, she would soon make towards the main entrance of the building to which there was a young looking woman with dark hair dressed in black training gear. Two bladed weapons sheathed at both of her hips, definitely giving an air of authority to being here.
A smile grew on Megumi's face as she approached the woman with that very same smile. A curtsy came from the taller, cold skinned woman as she introduced herself, "Fair Greetings to you. I am Megumi Shinsetsumi, and I was search of a dojo in the town area for some specialized training courses." Pulling up her phone to reveal how she found the dojo.
"It's the second one I came to, as the first didn't have anything in lieu of swordsmanship regimens." A head tilt to the side, the even pace of Megumi's words would continue, "I supposed your facility offers such courses, considering what is on your sides?"
