[23:14] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) smiles seeing a matching outfit that was hard to miss. “that hat is fabulous.” her tone was sincere as she walked up admiring the size of the hat. “what a lovely color.”

[23:18] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) turns his sights away from the poster, a trail of smoke following the trail of his own head turning to follow. A bright smile graced his features. “Thanks, sweetie!” Reaching up, he touched upon the brim as if ready to pull it off. “I like this color too. It’s so flashy, I love flashy. I was thinking pink but I thought it’d be too much.” A glance to the girl’s outfit and a brighter smile. I think you’d pull it off nicely thought!”

[23:21] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) she smiled in return to the flamboyant creature before her. What a wonder. “Oh go big or go home, I say. Your outfit is so cute. I think you could even enhance it with the right body chain. It would add even more flair to it. You are the most iconic person I have seen so far.” she said with a subtle bit of russian accent flavoring her words. It was harder to hide since she had a little to drink.

[23:24] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) looked down as if trying to visualize her suggestion. Lips pursed in a thoughtful manner. “Hmmmmm… Yeah, that might be cute.” Sights up again, he couldn’t help but giggle. “Iconic? Really?” That was flattering and he certainly appreciated it. “I’ll take it. I think you’re my new favorite person. What’s your name, sweetie?”

[23:30] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) “yes! truly!” she laughed then and held out her hand, “Call me Yuki ((pronounced you-key)) would you care to eat with me at Chopstix? It is my favorite place so far.” she said with a glance down the street at the place she was talking about.

[23:31] Now playing: Charlotte Cardin – Confetti

[23:34] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) beamed, reaching out and taking her hand in a shake. “I’m Olivier. Nice to meet you, Yuki!” With a rather quick step forward, his grasp shifted from Yuki’s hand to her arm. “Sure would! I haven’t eaten since I got here!” A second’s pause and he moved back a little. “Oh, you don’t mind, right?” came the inquiry, motioning to his hand on Yuki’s arm. “I know some people don’t like that.”

[23:36] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) she didn’t mind the attention at all and her body language reflected this as she welcomed the camaraderie with open and accepting movements by linking arms and pulling him back close. “Not at all. Let’s go!” she said smiling. “Sushi is all I have wanted the passed few days.” she would say as she began to walk with Oliver arm linked in arm.

[23:37] Now playing: Harry Styles – As It Was

[23:39] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) huffed a relieved breath at the acceptance. So far, his time at the campus seemed to be going up. Yuki being the first acquaintance also seemed like an additional plus, she was adorable. Arm-in-arm, he walked along with her lead, looking around. “Big place. It’s a little intimidating.”

[23:42] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) she could feel the way Oliver relaxed in her presence and it made her smile. “very big place. Are you new to town, like me?” she inquired as she lead them through the door and looked at the menu while holding the door open for Oliver and then coming inside. She glanced at the bored college kid working the register. Half way awake as he was the day before. Thinking nothing of it, she looked at the menu a moment trying to decide what she would have today.

[23:45] Now playing: MEDUZA, James Carter – Bad Memories Ft Elley Duhé & Fast Boy

[23:47] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) : “Sure am,” he answered. Olivier’s free arm went up, almost defensively reaching for his hat as they came closer to the restaurant’s doors. There was a little fear that it wouldn’t make it through but his relief at the contrary was clear with the sigh that left him. “Phew…” His eyes roamed the interior, blinking in surprise at the Shibari depiction on two of the walls. “Gracious…” That wasn’t why they’d come there, he mentally chided himself and rose his sights to the menu. “Oh, no fuckin’ way!” he practically squeaked. “Albacore sashimi!? Well, I know what I’m getting!”

[23:50] Now playing: David Kushner – Dead Man

[23:50] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) laughed and then started her order, “I want the red dragon roll, and a spicy roll with some iced oolong tea. It’s on me. What will you have?” she pulled some cash from her pocket and moved so that Oliver could order and stood by to wait and pay.

[23:53] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) was just about to reach for his bag when she gave the offer. “Really? You sure?” He smiled with a slight blush dusting his cheeks. She really was sweet. “Alright, but lemme cover the next one.” That compromise was fair, right? Stepping up to the register, he pointed to the menu, even though the gesture was vague indication at best for other people. “Can I get an order of the Albacore Sashimi Special?”

[23:54] Now playing: Dermot Kennedy – One Life

[23:56] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) noted the way Oliver’s face flushed and smiled nodding and pulling the money out to pay. “yes you will owe me a sushi date in the future.” she took her tray and moved to sit down looking at the artwork on the wall. “the art work here is really something..” she would say taking a drink of her oolong tea before pulling a bottle of vodka from her pocket and pouring some in her tea. “want some?” she said holding the bottle out to
[23:56] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild): Oliver. ”
[23:57] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild): ** Oliver. “the tea needs a bit of a kick”

[00:02] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) : “You got it!” He couldn’t refuse that. Smile ever brightening, Olivier plucked up his order’s tray, puckering his lips as if offering the bored cashier behind the counter a kiss in thanks. He strutted after Yuki, planting himself into the empty chair at the chosen table. “No kidding. I was looking at those earlier.” He set an elbow on the table, cheek against his knuckles. “I’ve been curious about that kinda thing, honestly. At least the BD part, not so much the SM.” Blues turned to the offered vodka, he shook his head. “Nah, not with tea. Straight though? Maybe.”

[00:09] Now playing: P!nk – TRUSTFALL

00:09] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) setting the bottle down so Oliver could have some if ‘by itself’ was meant for right now. If not she would be drinking it with the vodka tea mixture as a chaser. “Vodka goes with most everything I eat.” laughing at the bdsm comment she nodded her head in response. “bondage, discipline, dominance and discipline is a yes but submission, sadism and masochism is a no?” I suppose that is one way to split it. You remind me of someone I once you. For manners sake, how do you prefer I address you?” she asked as she began to eat her sushi.

[00:13] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) dipped his head in a quick show of thanks, plucking up the bottle and taking a little drink straight from it. His smile dropped a hint as it was set back on the table. “Yeah. I’ve been beaten enough when I was a kid. I don’t need it in my sex life.” A tilt of the head and a blink prefaced a curious “Oh?” over the comment. The smile was swift to return. “He/Him or They/them. If I dress like this, She/Her works too, since I’m gonna be a big Drag Queen in the future!” It was said with confidence, a goal he was determined to achieve. His nose crinkled as he started to laugh. “I picked out a great name and everything!”

I think you would make a fabulous drag queen. What will your name be?” she asks curiously as she polishes off the rest of her red dragon roll.

[00:24] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) didn’t want to think about the past, plucking up one of the sashimi and stuffing it in his mouth. An appreciative noise escaped as he chewed. Finished just in time to offer another growing smile to Yuki’s commentary. “Justa Coxleve,” he answered. “It took me a few years to come up with that one. But tell me about this friend of yours?” Blue eyes gleefully squinted. He was honestly curious to know what kind of person yuki knew that he reminded her of. It wouldn’t hurt to possibly meet them for himself either, would it?

[00:28] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild) shoving a piece of spicy roll in her mouth and enjoying the spicy mayo she made an Mmm noise and then took a big drink of oolong tea. “They are dead now. From before back home. Very good friend of mine for many years. Her name was Zariah but she began life as Lucas. Russia is a hard place to be yourself sometimes.” she picked up the bottle of vodka and damn near finished it off. “Her personality was warm, energetic and welcoming. Probably one of the few things about home that was always good. She was tough though. Never cried. Never stopped being her. I loved her as a sibling.” smiling as she thought of the passed, another piece of spicy roll for her mouth.
[00:28] Tári Mero A’noh (aylee.starchild): *past

[00:34] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) ‘s brows knit at the reveal that they’d passed. That one little hope was snuffed out rather quickly. Yet Olivier had to smile regardless. He nodded slowly, understandingly. “She sounds like she was the best. I’m sorry you lost her.” Painted fingers plucked up another sashimi, clearly forcing his smile to stay. “It’s hard to he yourself in the states too, trust me.” His smile dropped anyway, tucking the food into his mouth. Another smile as he swallowed, shrugging. “But once you find the places that take you as you are, things get a lot easier. So, you’re from Russia?” he asked, cheek perched upon his knuckles again.

[00:43] Yuki (aylee.starchild) nods at this as she agrees to it. “yes. I came here too late. my brother is dead now too. Idiot…” she muttered at the end thimking of him and seeming angry as she shoved her last bite in her mouth and then swallowed. “too many drugs in his nose and veins and so his thoughts fell out of his head and with it the contents…all over the floor. That is what he gets for trusting the wrong people. Too careless..” she said finishing the tea. “yes death is a close friend of mine.” she said in response to the comment about her previous friend. “she was too good for this world. you probably are too. I will try my best to see you do not suffer the same fate if I can help it. I want to be friends. ” standing she tossed some money on the table. Writing her number down on a napkin she handed it to Oliver. “keep my number and reach out to me if you need me. I want to see you again but I need to go. You keep being your lovely self.” she would say leaning in to kiss her cheek if she allowed. Then glanced down at her

[00:50] .:Olivier (obsidianlethrone) sat up a little, a little concerned about what Yuki had said. At least about the fate of her brother. The worry faded as she stated the desire to be friends, brightening rather quickly. “Oh, absolutely!” He adored the idea of being her friend. She was just so sweet and, to be honest, he adored her accent. He picked up the napkin, looking over the number with a grin. “Oh, I’ll be around, sweetie. Count on it.” He nearly stood himself but hadn’t, cheeks a brilliant pink over the little kiss to his cheek. Rising off the chair, he gave the same in kind by planting a small kiss upon Yuki’s opposite cheek. “Thanks so much for the food. Remember, the next one’s on me!” He waved with wiggling fingers as she started to take her leave. “Bye, sweetie!” He huffed and stood, stuffing the last of his sashimi in his mouth. Better to get a move on and check out the rest of the campus…
