WHO: Soi Fong, Ulf
WHEN: July 5, 2006
WHERE: An alley in New York
WHAT: Fresh from washing dishes, Soi Fong is approached (and licked!) by Ulf who likes the way she smells.
WATCH FOR: Soi Fong's new fragrance line? Not likely!
Mundane Sector - New York City
New York City is a powerful symbol, a microcosm of everything about the modern Mundane world, in a way that spans through most of the planes throughout the sector. That isn't entirely a good thing, unfortunately. Different planar incarnations of New York City vary in their general environment, but two themes run through the area. One is a deep variety and sense of opportunity, with massive business highrises and people from all over the world roaming the streets, in something like a great melting pot. Another is the ultimate consequences of placing so many people in such small quarters: New York City is far from the safest city in the sector, and especially in the crowded subways and other areas, you'd best keep your eyes on your valuables. Still, with the bustling information explosion of Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty still looming on the horizon in the absence of the Twin Towers, the city's certainly a sight to see.
Obvious exits:
Line leads to Mundane Sector.
It was late (or early, depending on your point of view) into the morning by the time Soi Fong finished her share of the dishes. She could've insisted that Kitty do them all since the dinner was supposed to be her treat! But considering the mess Soi Fong made of things, she'd managed to swallow her pride and submit to the demon of dishpan hands. Once the bill was paid off through labor, she slips out the back door of the restaurant and into the darkened alley. She's really needs to get back to Karakura soon. At the time New York had seemed like a perfect source for the information she was collecting, but Soi Fong's opinion of it has lowered -- but that -is- the usual direction it takes for most things. The city was just too big, too noisy, and the inhabitants were...well, just a little too weird, even for a death god.
Ulf had been told by Kitty to be careful in this city, since not everyone would be nice to him because of the way he looks. But so far Ulf hasn't encountered any problems. Maybe because people are too nervous to approach him. Either way, he asked Shiba to wait outside of town for him to avoid causing trouble and went for a walk. The city is pretty neat. There's a lot of things to see and so much food to eat! He's growing low on funds at this rate, but he buys more food than the average person. As he's walking past the same alley Ulf stops and his nose twitches. Mmm, he smells something good.
If Soi Fong isn't nice to him, it won't have anything to do with his looks -- it'll be because she deems him an idiot! Needless to say, with such a harsh outlook she's not good at making friends. Most of the time it's not high on her list of priorities either. But she's still relieved things got resolved between her and Kitty. She thinks. There's still things she's confused about. She's gonna have to break down and ask Yoruichi-sama about it after all, and hope she's not disappointed in her. As for that smell, it just might be Soi Fong. A night of clearing plates of scraps of meat probably smells pretty good to canines.
It might not be so hard to deem him an idiot. ^o.o^; Though Ulf certainly isn't. He can be pretty sharp when he wants to be, but he has a simplistic approach to life that suits him just fine. His lack of complexity might make him seem more like an idiot to someone as serious as Soi Fong though. Ulf turns into the alley, following his nose and then spotting Soi Fong. He blinks a few times, then starts to step slowly around her, keeping his eyes on her all the while. Hmmm.
Her senses, her abilities, everything's watered down while she's in that false body. She really hates them! >.<; Soi Fong's gonna have to stop spending so much time in one. If it turns out that no one can see her otherwise, well that's just fine with Soi Fong. She doesn't want them looking anyway. Nyah. So she doesn't notice Ulf's approach at first. She's too busy trying to locate the source of that ketchup smell! "Disgusting!" She scowls, trying to brush some off along with a few crumbs of hamburger that were clinging to her shirt. It's really a good thing that she didn't borrow anything from Yoruichi's closet, it would be ruined! Soi Fong just ends up with ketchup on the back of her hand too, and now that has to be wiped somewhere! The bee blinks before looking around, not expecting to see anything but bricks on either side of her. Then she notices she's not alone. Soi Fong tenses, her eyes narrowing back at the form through the darkness.
Ulf doesn't bother to observe her space. He gets pretty close as he's walking around her and looking her over. She's like walking food! He leans closer to sniff in her direction, wolf's tail wagging behind him from the wonderful smells. Then, of all things, he leans in and tries to lick her cheek. ^o.o^; Just once. But she had a bit of food there and that definitely confirms it. "You're what smells so good!" Er.. guess that's not a usual greeting. At least he didn't bite her the way he did Kitty.
The closer he gets, the deeper she scowls. Her face really is gonna freeze like that one of these days. "What do you want scum!" Hey, he's approaching a young woman in a dark alley, what else could he be? She stands her ground though, because to take even a step back would be considered a retereat to Soi Fong. ...Did he just lick her? She's stunned for a moment before gritting her teeth. Granted, a lick is far less aggressive than a bite but Soi Fong probably would've prefered it! She grits her teeth in anger before swiftly spinning to aim a kick for his jaw.
You hit Ulf with your Lick This! jab.
Scum? He's not scum! Ulf staggers back when she, to his surprise though he shouldn't be so surprised at all, gets a kick to the face after giving her that test lick. Ulf keeps back a few paces and lifts his hand to rub at his jaw. "Ow! Why'd ya do that?!" He didn't do anything to hurt her! "You trying ta start a fight or somethin'?"
"That was just a warning!" Lest he assume that's all she's got. Even in her gigai, that wasn't as hard as she could've kicked. Soi Fong takes a moment now to glance over him. He actually reminds her a little of Komamura, once his face had finally been revealed. And who would she be to judge anyway? Soi Fong serves a cat. And he dares to ask why she did it and if -she- was trying to start a fight. "You have the nerve to ask me that!" That's even more irritating than the lick!
"Would you just calm down!" Geez, she's all excited over nothing! Ulf stands straighter again and lowers his hand from his face, which still feels tender. "If you keep shoutin' like that I'll give it back to ya!" Just so she knows he can kick her in return. Though he wouldn't want to hurt the girl, since she hasn't shown herself to be a real threat yet. At least, he didn't take her attack that seriously. Kind of like swatting a dog on the nose or something. "It's yer own fault for smelling like meat!"
Soi Fong gasps and leans back a little, as if he did somehow strike her. It must've been something in his words! "What did you just stay?" Did he just say she smells like meat?! Soi Fong is easily riled, Ulf's probably noticed that by now. Sometimes her bark is worse than her bite, but her bite can also be pretty nasty when provoked. There's a light coloring of her cheeks when he boldly points out her indignity that came from a night of washing dishes. He was really just stating the facts though. "Are you saying it's my fault?!" That she somehow deserved it?! Soi Fong surges forward, her head lowered as she tries to use her momentum to push him back against the wall behind him.
You miss Ulf with your Off The Wall! attack.
Well how could she not realize she smells like meat! It's pretty strong. *cough* "Hey, it's not a ba--woa!" When she comes at him he ducks down fast and slides to the side to end up behind her instead. Ulf doesn't consider her smelling like meat to be terrible. He likes the smell! Though it is starting to make his stomach rumble. She really is asking for it! Guess he'll have to give her a little pay back. Maybe she'll calm down if he knocks some sense into her. Ulf tries to give her a light strike in the direction she's going, aiming for her back to push her into the wall she tried to push him into.
Ulf gets a glancing blow on Soi Fong with his Back Tap! feint.
He's faster than she expected! Not to mention she's not as fast as she normally expects herself to be. Soi Fong's eyes widen when he dodges her push. Her hands lift, the brick digging into her palms when his strike against her back pushes her into the wall instead. She hates showing her back to the enemy! Her fingers dig into the brick briefly before she pushes away and spins around, her braids swirling around her. There's there sound of her footsteps quickening against the ground as she starts to run before aiming a flying kick for his midsection. "Annoying mutt!"
You critically strike Ulf with your Stopping the Stomach Rumble attack.
Ulf laughs outloud, which probably does nothing to make her calm down, but seeing her run into the wall like that was pretty funny. "We don't have to fight." He says, but who knows if she had heard him since her anger is driving her to run a flying kick toward him. Ulf blinks in surprise but doesn't move in time and this time he's the one hitting the wall behind him when he falls back against it. "Oof!" Good thing he's pretty solid. One arm goes across his stomach and he growls under his breath. "I'm not a mutt, I'm a dragonrider! And now you've done it!" He's not going to let himself get pushed around by her! Ulf pushes off from the wall to advance back on Soi Fong, this time putting more power into a strike, aiming a kick for her side. Although he carries a flail, he doesn't bring the weapon out.
Ulf misses Soi Fong with his Meat Tenderizer attack.
Soi Fong is suddenly glad to have Suzumebachi at her back, though she did try to hide it underneath a sweater. Hey, she thought she was on a date! It is a little warm for a sweater though. No wonder she's burning up! Or maybe it's just her anger doing that. c.c; Anger and embarrassment from being laughed at and told she smells like meat! Soi Fong continues to approach even as he hits the wall, but pulls smoothly to one side to let him go flying past when he tries to attack her. "I'm going to have to teach you a lesson that seems long overdue!" Even if he did say they didn't have to fight, it seems unavoidable now! Soi Fong lifts her hand, reaching back for her sword just as the breeze shifts. Sniff. What is that smell? Soi Fong frowns, her stomach overwhelmed by the scent of cheeseburger and rib-eye and -- oh no. Her expression turns into one of horror as she pulls the sleeve of her sweater out for a better sniff. She really DOES smell like meat. x.x;
Ulf stumbles forward when he misses the kick and puts his hands to the wall she was at previously. He turns around, thinking things are about to get more serious and reaches for his flail, but stops when she does and blinks a few times. When the breeze blows and she can smell the meat he can certainly smell it also. It just makes his stomach grumble again and he puts a hand against the spot. Eheh. The look on her face does get a little more laughter though. "It's not so bad."
"Ugh!" Soi Fong definitely disagrees with his opinion! The sweater is quickly pulled off and tossed aside in disgust. The bee blinks at the sound of his laughter. He can still laugh even while in the middle of a fight?! He really does have nerve. Though...this whole fight started getting serious because he said she smelled like meat. And she does. Soi Fong turns around slowly, eyeing the wolf-boy. She's more than half-expecting another attack from him. But this time she won't make the first move.
Ulf crosses his arms over his chest, not seeming to want to attack her again now that she's calmed down. He doesn't have to get revenge on her. He's used to being knocked around and rough housing a little. "No, really!" But it looks like his attempt at making her feel better just won't work. "What're you doin' in an alley anyway?" Now that he thinks about it that's a strange place for a girl to hang out.
"That still didn't give you the right to lick me!" Soi Fong snorts and turns her head away sharply. No matter what part of the responsibility was hers for the fight that followed. But she got back at him enough for that she guesses. "I was leaving that place." Her head jerks back towards the employee exit of the Applebees restuarant. "Not that I have to justify myself to you." Just so he knows! Soi Fong really only answers to one. She blinks before eyeing him, looking Ulf up and down once more. "...What're you doing out?" If he says that -he- was on a date it'll just kill her.
Ulf looks puzzled when she says he didn't have the right to lick her. He doesn't look as if he considers it a big deal at all. ^o.o^ Instead he looks to the door of the restaurant and then back to her again. "I was looking around this city and then I smelled something really good, but it turned you to be you." Ulf was just following his nose, that's all. "Do you live around here? I can walk ya home." Guess it's the least he can do. And then he gets to smell the scent some more before she's gone. *cough*
A brow arches, giving Soi Fong a confused and almost comical expression. The good smell turned out to be her? That's a compliment, isn't it? And compliments usually mean... Augh, don't start that again. x.x; Hasn't she learned tonight that the information she's been gathering is contaminated? Besides, he's not human anyway, so it doesn't count. "...Thanks." Is muttered a little belatedly. "I don't." Soi Fong confirms before lifting her head a bit smugly and walking past him. Guess that's that. Soi Fong pauses at the end of the alley though to look back over her shoulder at him though. "But if you want to walk part of the way I can't stop you." She doesn't own New York! "As long as you don't lick me again!" She adds while waiting to see what he wants to do.
Ulf blinks a few times and watches her walk to the exit of the alley. Just when he thinks she's not friendly at all she invites him along some of the way and Ulf grins a fangy smile. His tail lashes back and forth quickly before he hurries out of the alleyway to meet her and walk at her side. "I don't live here either." But that's probably obvious, right?
"No kidding." Soi Fong mutters. Guess it is pretty obvious! She smirks in his direction though. Not normally an expression one associates with friendliness, but for her it beats the alternatives. "So where do you live then?" He said something about...a dragonrider? She blinks when she feels something swish against her, realizing with a backwards glance that it's his tail. "Does that thing always have to move?"
Her smirk gets a friendly smile from him. That's probably a usual expression on Ulf's face. "In Grandia. I came through a portal. Shiba and I are explorin' other worlds. What place do you come from?" When she mentions his tail he looks over his shoulder and blinks, then laugh sheepishly. "Sorry." He can't really help it. It just goes back and forth when he's walking. Kind of hard to think about it sometimes. Ulf takes a step back at least so he's not walking directly beside her. Since he leans his stance forward a little it's still easy enough to talk.
Soi Fong gets the impression that he smiles that way a lot. And though a smile doesn't always mean a nice person or the lack of a threat (Gin, for example), Soi Fong does feel like it's sincere in Ulf's case. "Soul Society." She responds, pausing for a moment before going on to answer what he might just ask next anyway. "Some call it the afterlife. I'm a shinigami. But I've been spending more time in Karakura lately." Soi Fong blushes and looks away when she says that for some reason. "Is Shiba your subordinate?" Or maybe his master! Either way he had someone hanging back in the wing, perhaps watching them fight the whole time. Who knows what might've happened if it had continued! Hmm, maybe he's smarter than she thought too. Or more likely it's just that the more Soi Fong gets to know others, the more she realizes they're not complete idiots.
The afterlife? "Is that like a ghost?" Maybe he's speaking to the dead. ^o_o^; Not that he's bothered by her being a shinigami. As for Shiba, Ulf shakes his head. "Nah, Shiba's my dragon! But he's like my own brother." So he wouldn't call Shiba a subordinate at all. "Oh yeah, I'm Ulf." The dragonrider suddenly realizes he hasn't even given her his name. But he decides not to give her the greeting-bite.. since she might try to kick him again.
"Spirits, yes." Soi Fong blinks, sensing something from him. She turns her head to study him briefly before quirking a thin brow. Before she can ask though he mentions his dragon. They must give those things away around here! She nods at his introduction, exchanging her name for his. "Soi Fong." She tilts her head a bit, thinking about something before adding it. "It was...fun fighting you." Even if it wasn't much of a fight. And even if 'fun' isn't high on her list of priorities either. But she is trying, thanks to something Yoruichi-sama taught her.
Ulf can't help but laugh again when she says it was fun fighting with him. "Yeah, let's do it again next time!" Guess he thought it was fun too, and he wasn't just saying that either. But Soi Fong must be doing an okay job since he says he wants to see her again. It's hard to put off this dragonrider though.
Soi Fong nods, actually agreeing that they should do it again. She was even thinking that herself! But sparring partners are important, maybe she can even stronger than she already is. "Come to Karakura." She suggests while turning in a different direction once the time comes for their ways to part. "Bring Shiba." Though his dragon might not be as small as Kitty's! Even so, Karakura is a place used to all sorts of strange things.

"As long as you don't lick me again!" She adds while waiting to see what he wants to do.
Ulf blinks a few times and watches her walk to the exit of the alley. Just when he thinks she's not friendly at all she invites him along some of the way and Ulf grins a fangy smile. His tail lashes back and forth quickly before he hurries out of the alleyway to meet her and walk at her side. "I don't live here either." But that's probably obvious, right?
"No kidding." Soi Fong mutters. Guess it is pretty obvious! She smirks in his direction though. Not normally an expression one associates with friendliness, but for her it beats the alternatives. "So where do you live then?" He said something about...a dragonrider? She blinks when she feels something swish against her, realizing with a backwards glance that it's his tail. "Does that thing always have to move?"
Her smirk gets a friendly smile from him. That's probably a usual expression on Ulf's face. "In Grandia. I came through a portal. Shiba and I are explorin' other worlds. What place do you come from?" When she mentions his tail he looks over his shoulder and blinks, then laugh sheepishly. "Sorry." He can't really help it. It just goes back and forth when he's walking. Kind of hard to think about it sometimes. Ulf takes a step back at least so he's not walking directly beside her. Since he leans his stance forward a little it's still easy enough to talk.
Soi Fong gets the impression that he smiles that way a lot. And though a smile doesn't always mean a nice person or the lack of a threat (Gin, for example), Soi Fong does feel like it's sincere in Ulf's case. "Soul Society." She responds, pausing for a moment before going on to answer what he might just ask next anyway. "Some call it the afterlife. I'm a shinigami. But I've been spending more time in Karakura lately." Soi Fong blushes and looks away when she says that for some reason. "Is Shiba your subordinate?" Or maybe his master! Either way he had someone hanging back in the wing, perhaps watching them fight the whole time. Who knows what might've happened if it had continued! Hmm, maybe he's smarter than she thought too. Or more likely it's just that the more Soi Fong gets to know others, the more she realizes they're not complete idiots.
The afterlife? "Is that like a ghost?" Maybe he's speaking to the dead. ^o_o^; Not that he's bothered by her being a shinigami. As for Shiba, Ulf shakes his head. "Nah, Shiba's my dragon! But he's like my own brother." So he wouldn't call Shiba a subordinate at all. "Oh yeah, I'm Ulf." The dragonrider suddenly realizes he hasn't even given her his name. But he decides not to give her the greeting-bite.. since she might try to kick him again.
"Spirits, yes." Soi Fong blinks, sensing something from him. She turns her head to study him briefly before quirking a thin brow. Before she can ask though he mentions his dragon. They must give those things away around here! She nods at his introduction, exchanging her name for his. "Soi Fong." She tilts her head a bit, thinking about something before adding it. "It was...fun fighting you." Even if it wasn't much of a fight. And even if 'fun' isn't high on her list of priorities either. But she is trying, thanks to something Yoruichi-sama taught her.
Ulf can't help but laugh again when she says it was fun fighting with him. "Yeah, let's do it again next time!" Guess he thought it was fun too, and he wasn't just saying that either. But Soi Fong must be doing an okay job since he says he wants to see her again. It's hard to put off this dragonrider though.
Soi Fong nods, actually agreeing that they should do it again. She was even thinking that herself! But sparring partners are important, maybe she can even stronger than she already is. "Come to Karakura." She suggests while turning in a different direction once the time comes for their ways to part. "Bring Shiba." Though his dragon might not be as small as Kitty's! Even so, Karakura is a place used to all sorts of strange things.
