Don't know about that! But have ya ever tried playing a piano when all the crowd wants is a woman undressin' on stage?

[He clicks his tongue, trying to sound annoyed, but coming off as more flippant or amused.]

Maybe a different venue would be better, but it ain't work that's suited for me. [Or at least he doesn't think it would be.] 'Sides from debt and makin' sure the club's girls aren't dancin' their last, what've ya been up to?

[ryototsukai]

No, that's... basically it. [ An embarrassed laugh, rubbing the back of her head. ]

I've seen some postings of opportunities to make some extra cash, though. Some rabbit lady wants guinea pigs for her medicine, there's a dispute on one of the bridges, and the Tamamo want someone to help train up some of their dominatrices... matrixes... [ She pronounces it differently each time. ]

However you pluralize that.

[21towin]

Think it'd be "dominatrices".

[And you know what? The idea of Musashi in leather with a crop in hand and a certain Santa Island's mask on... that gets him to burst out laughing! He doesn't mean to, but he could help to. ] An' I reckon you'd be a shoe-in for the spot!

[A shake of his head as he wipes away a tear. He half-meant it, and half-joked about it. As silly as the thought was to him, he could see her pulling it off in her own way.]

The bridge though, that one might be worth checkin' out.

[ryototsukai]

Don't joke like that, you know that's not my scene!

[ She likes to be nice! And for people to spoil her. But if the cash was right... ]

Yeah, the bridge incident sounded more my speed, but hashihime can be nasty. If you don't know what those are, they're basically cursed women fueled by spite and jealousy.

[21towin]

Right, right. Sorry, couldn't help it.

[Musashi is way too nice for that scene! step on me please, Mistress Musashi *offers beer and udon* But yeah, he was still chuckling a bit.]

I'm certain they're right dangerous. Granted they just sound like any lady who's partner has cheated on 'em. Or one of them women from the Temperance Movement.

[ryototsukai]

Is that some American thing?

[ This is why she was so bad at pretending to be an American back in Vegas. ]

Wait, nevermind that, point is, wanna check it out?

[21towin]

Yeah, or at least it was a growing thing back when I was around. Granted that I heard tell there was still a few spots where it's still kind of a thing.

[It was best not to think about any of that. It was most certainly not something he'd have to deal with here. Or at least, he wouldn't so long as no hatchet-wielding grannies get it in their heads to go around smashing up bars. Actually, you know what? That would make his day.]

But yeah, I wouldn't say no to givin' it a look over.

[ryototsukai]

Alright! We'll head by the bridges tomorrow and scope it out.

Well, when I can, anyways. Who knows how long they'll keep me doing other stuff.

[21towin]

Sounds like a plan to me. Just give me a heads up when you're free.

Or, if you want, I can go take a look myself ahead of ya.

[ryototsukai]

That's actually a good idea, Billy-kun! [ Musashi flashed a smile. ]

You can check out the place, and I'll message you as soon as I'm off the clock and on my way down!

[21towin]

Haha, sure. Just don't blame me if I end up doing all the work before you make it down!

[He was teasing her.]

[ryototsukai]

[ And yet... ]

Y-you'd still split the paycheck with me, right?

[21towin]

Hm.... I wonder.

[He was grinning and laughing now.]

Nah, don't worry about that none. Ain't no way I'd ever do ya dirty like that. Even if I do manage on my own.

[ryototsukai]

If you ever did, I'd track you down~

[ Musashi giggled. ]

I have an inbox set up on this thing, so hit me up there, okay?

[21towin]

Not sure ya'd be able to find me, I'm pretty slippery after all! Unless... I really wanna be found.

[Another chuckle follows as he props his chin on his hand.]

I'll be sure to hit you up there then hon.
