A meeting at Freeport 8

[ellipsis]

Freeport 8 | 14:00-14:15

Some moments pass without Tsuya in sight. If this were a date, one would begin to have concerns of being stood up. However, Tsuya was only taking her time to make her appearance more discreet. Can't take any risk of standing out any more than she already does, being a Kusarian in the middle of a freeport mostly populated by Rheinlanders. In her mind, it was the best option. A place where less people might recognize her as a Dragon, as opposed to Noshima Freeport, where Hogosha and Farmers Alliance pilots frequently visit. Or Freeport 6, which was close enough to Kusari territory to pose a threat to her safety without a crew of guards accompanying her. The only threats here are embedded Rheinland agents and potential Corsairs, if you aren't paranoid of getting strange looks everywhere you go.

After about 10 minutes, the bar doors slide open with that typical resounding kshhhhhh noise. In walks the person that Anna was waiting for, clad in some spare clothing she had aboard her Tachi. Some... less eccentric clothing, compared to her usual outfits. Toned down about 50% from her usual gothic fashion, but still just enough personality to attract attention. Not that it particularly matters as she already sticks out like a sore thumb, but she figured that she may as well go to the effort of trying to look more casual, instead of looking like a terrorist. Of course, she was still equipped with her stylishly designed katana and tanto, both strapped to her side by a metallic belt wrapped around her waist. However, she had to kiss goodbye to her ranged weaponry to appease the hangar guards. She gazes around the seats in the bar for a moment, glancing at each occupied table until she saw one with a single woman sitting there that appeared to be waving at her. Nobody else it could be other than Anna, she thought. So she walked over to her, and occupied the seat across from her, on the other side of the table. She ignored the questioning looks as she made her way.

Now that she was faced front and center with with Anna with no hunk of metal in between them, they could both get a much better look at who they are physically. Anna noticed that one of Tsuya's eyes was covered by what appeared to be an optical enhancement device in the shape of a rose. Its petals looked metallic in nature, but still colored with that shade of red typical to natural roses. It appeared inactive and as though it was purely external, capable of being taken on and off at will as she saw a stealthy strap holding it in place, covered up by her hair. If Anna were to look downwards towards Tsuya's blades, she would find that the sheath of the katana is accompanied by what looks like the trigger of a gun, but with no barrel in sight. It replaces the segment that the sageo cord used to rest upon long before the modern (and far more reliable) obi belt was designed. "Well, you have me, Anna. What do you want to know? I hope the service here is good, I don't necessarily have a taste for Rheinbier..." She sighs, hoping for something remotely Kusarian to be on the bar's menu.
