Tea Time With Taien (Social Thread)

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

So this a social thread between Taien Hadohou and Katekarin Mekatoku. This is a pure social thread and may get Katekarin to start opening up. Albeit I doubt it because Katekarin suffers from Schizophrenia which means he sometimes is unable to speak even though he is forced. So he will speak a little bit until he knows he can trust Taien. So far, he has been having rough times meeting Shinigamis. The only near positive so far is Ana. Whom started out rough. But never the less Taien has gotten into the shopping district out of sheer boredom. And Katekarin needs more ingredients for his Ginseng Tea. This tea he makes is a specially made home brewed and he finds them in Karakura shopping district. Beyond gets the first post.

Lets see if he can save the Shingami reputation along with Ana. And show Katekarin not all Shinigami are bad guys.

"Oya oya. . . so many different types of tea ingredients! I wonder which ones to get?"

Taien remarked as he looked around the store and rummaged a bit. He was in the Tea District of Karakura Town's own Shopping District, a particular store that Taien frequented when he needed more supplies for the tea he made. He didn't concider himself the best tea maker, but he did put all he had into the tea he did make. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as "perfect" as some others. The store was owned and maned by a proprieter that had a very small amount of Spiritual pressense, meaning he could see Taien. Taien didn't steal in the first place, but that was always a good reminder not to steal.

Taien didn't have all he needed yet. He still was getting some tea leaves when he realized he was missing some Ginsing as well. Taien hurried back to where the Ginsing was, hoping that there was some still left. It was a big sales day, so quite a lot of stuff was sold out. Taien rounded the corner and spotted the Ginsing. There was only one left! How lucky of him! Taien strode over to the Ginsing, intent on claiming it as his own. He didn't realize someone else had set their sights on it. . .

"They have a good variety of other teas. But I am here for a single set of ingredients for my family's tea."

Katekarin had wandered into the store which he normally bought ingredients for his tea. He had made sure to take his meds and he wore his usual attire. His business suit, gas mask and gloves in all. The store owner knew him as a usual because of his attire and made sure that the other patrons did not feel too uncomfortable that a man was standing in that store wearing what he usually wore. Although the two did not share a close relationship, he knew that Katekarin loved his tea. As even though he was in a tea store searching for tea ingredients. He was always seen drinking from his tea cup or other means that involved a straw.

He had founded his ginseng and was about to grab the tea leaves when he saw another hand spring forward the tea leaves. He stared at whom had done this and to his surprise it was another person whom had tried to grab the tea leaves. Truth be told there was a sale and he needed those tea leaves. He had no clue that another person would be heading for those tea leaves. And he tried to tug it to where he would have the tea leaves and not this person. But one thing did catch his attention, the fact that he wore such traditional Japanese attire. He admired them because it looked so nice, it was nice seeing people wearing traditional attire. Although he found it uncomfortable because his skin was visible. He continued to tug hoping that this tea would be going home with him.

"Ehh? Why is the ground rushing u-"

Smack. Taien, in his haste, had grabbed the bag and was about to walk off, but it seemed like someone else had grabbed the bag as well! They also seemed to be stronger than Taien, so the result was he hit the floor. While normally this would hurt quite a lot, Taien was not hurt simply due to the virtue of the Cutback Effect. Thus, Taien was uninjured and was only on the ground to ponder why he was on the ground in the first place. He had let go of the Ginsing, otherwise he might have tore the bag open on his way down.

Taien jumped back up from his position on the floor, promptly about faced, and was greeted with the sight of a man in a suit wearing a gas mask. He had his hand on the bag of Ginsing Taien was grabbing. Thus, he was the one who caused Taien to fall down face first onto the ground. Normally someone would be quite upset about something like that, and would probably rage and shout and roar at the person who had done it.

Taien, however, was far from normal. As Katekarin was soon to find out. . .

"Ohh, haha, sorry about that. I didn't think anyone else wanted that Ginsing! Though with the sale going on, that was probably not the best thought."

Taie laughed.

"Ohh well, looks like I have to go check some of the other stores for more Ginsing!"

Said Taien with a smile.

As Katekarin would note, Taien wasn't being sarcastic. He actually seemed EAGER to go back into the horde of people outside that had risen from the sale. Taien had to pay for the stuff he already had though, so he walked back to the cashier, dropped his stuff onto the checkout table, and waited for the man to come along. It didn't take long for the shopkeep to appear either, he immerged from the back room somewhere.

"That will be. . . five hundred yen."

"Haha, all right, here you are!"

Taien produced a truly bulging purse and took one five hundred yen coin out and deposited it onto the counter. Taien replaced his purse, took his stuff, and headed to the door. Unfortunately, someone had just opened the door, and was on a collison course with Taien! Or not. The shopkeep's eyes widened in what could either be called horror or surprise. It was a combination of both. Taien had just walked through the person who was about to run into him! The guy he walked through didn't even seem to notice him though.

Outside, Taien looked around for the next tea place, wondering where he should go next.

With a simple tug the young man came falling down face forward. Katekarin had not known that this man would fall down if he were to tug onto the bag of Ginseng tea leaves but he still came falling down never the less. "Ehh? Why is the ground rushing u-" and smack! He was face first on the ground. Katekarin had pondered why he was laying there or even did not pull back. But his thoughts were immediately halted due to the fact the young man had jumped back up onto his feet. He had expected a confrontation of sorts, but he was proven wrong. Dead wrong as he would soon find out.

"Ohh, haha, sorry about that. I didn't think anyone else wanted that Ginsing! Though with the sale going on, that was probably not the best thought." he was here for the sale too? He wanted Ginseng tea, the tea that he loved the most especially the fact that his family recipe required such tea leaves. And what made it more odd was when he had said that he guessed that he would find more stores for Ginseng tea. He paid for the things that he had bought and left, but what caught his sight was when he passed through a a human being and the man had not noticed. He didnt care to see that the shop keep would too notice and he had thought his medication was acting up. But to make things better he felt that it was best to follow this person. Out the door he went to see where Taien was going. He was curious as he had not seen anyone display such acts ever. He would see whether this was another hallucination and he needed to update his meds or this is something on a different scale.

[OOC: SHORT POST AHOY!]

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm, lets see whats down. . ."

Taien was saying before he vanished on the spot. This was just as Katekarin was opening the door, so he would get a glimps of Taien vanishing at high speeds down the street. Taien materialized at a tea shop down the street, and it was here he would check to find Ginsing. Taien walked into the store and then began to browse their wears, eager to find the item he sought. Of course he was so intent on finding what he had came to get, he wasn't aware of the person stalking him. Then again, Taien would have been happy to let him stalk him, if he knew.

(OOC) SHORT POST! HIT THE DECK!!!


He would see the young man disappear in high speeds. "So this one has the some speed." he grew very curious about what he is. He continued to think that this person was a hallucination. But he severely doubted it as he remembered to take his medication. So in response he would use fullbring step and get to that same place that Taien would stop. He stopped outside of the shop and watched him wander around the shop. He has his eye on him.
