Kama strolled into the warehouse that was one of the current safe houses for the cautious trio of villains. The silver haired woman loosened her tie and undid a few buttons on her shirt, letting out a sigh of relief at being less constricted, falling into the cushions of a salvaged couch "fuck me, today is just dragging on" murmuring to herself while fishing her cigarettes and lighter out of her pocket, getting one of said cigarettes to her lips and lighting it, the long drag that followed having a visible effect on the tension in her shoulders. She held the smoke in for a few moments, exhaling from her nose.
Things were too quiet and boring for Kama's liking. She needed something new, different.... challenging for her without use of her quirk. That was the point right? She might be very good at what she did, but there was always room for improvement, and she was still supposed to be in training. If it wasn't all of that, a lead on their prey would be nice. This line of thought was making her tense up again, she took another drag from the cig to bring it down. It only took a few of these to finish it off, the butt discarded into an empty beer can nearby.
Kama slid off her jacket, leaving it over the arm of the couch, the tie and shirt followed suit and left her in her tank top. With the waves of tension rolling through her she decided it was probably a good idea to do something besides following the flavor of addiction. Yoga? Sure. Kama moved into some simple yoga forms, starting easy and moving into more challenging poses to get a good stretch in. This was a familiar routine for her when she was stressed. Kama was always stressed these days. |

"Terrible habit, darling."
One of the pillows was watching Kama. It was a light pink, which didn't stand out on the old couch, already a jigsaw of cushions of various patterns and colours. Now, two eyes had appeared, and a grinning mouth. Slowly, it seemed to expand and uncontort, until a moment later Chishiko was stretching out on the sofa next to Kana.
"Yoga is a form of insanity, I'm sure of it. Next thing you'll be buying healing crystals, or worse, incense. It's been such a long time, my dear, how are you?"
Chishiki lit a cigarette herself, then draped an arm over the sofa. It had indeed been a few months since the two of them had crossed paths. Chishiki had been on the road, her broker work taking her far across Japan. Here, back in Tokyo for the time being, she watches Kama with a warn smile on her lips.

If it had been any other voice coming from nowhere, Kama might've been inclined to switch into a fighting stance, but the sound of one of her closest friends and mentors was one that did the opposite, especially considering that the woman truly could be just about anywhere, and had the patience to simply exist as an object for surprisingly long periods of time. Kama continued to move through her yoga poses, smirking a bit and looking over at the morphing pillow "well I've definitely got worse habits"
Kama finished up her routine, shaking her head at Chishiki and said "yoga is actually great for you. I'm not gonna be some crystal weirdo unless I can get some extra bonus for the Simulacrum.....
incense smells nice sometimes I guess" and took a seat on the arm of the couch near Chishiki's head, looking down at the reclined master thief "but you're right. It's been too long. I actually started to miss you, maybe" there was no doubt that she had missed Chishiki though, she was one of the two people she felt she could trust anymore.
"What brings you around here? There's no way you're just visiting for the fun of it" Kama resisted the urge to get another cigarette, instead focusing on the curiosity at her friend's sudden appearance "it's not like you really need to lay low ever. That means someone saw you, and I don't think I've ever heard of that actually happening.... So..." she tapped a finger on her chin "is it a job?" there weren't many reasons for the woman to have shown up out of the blue at one of these little setups, work was probably the most likely she could think of.

"Kama, I'm hurt! Can't an auntie visit her favourite niece without an ulterior motive?"
Chishiki placed a hand in the middle of her chest, feigning a shocked expression, then laughed as she took a long drag of her cigarette, giving the other woman a wink. While they weren't related by blood or bonds, the two of them had a strong connection. Kama was a surrogate for the niece Chishiki had lost, and she doted on her. For her, their relationship was more than friends. As if reading Kama's mind, Chishiki leaned forward and offered one of her cigarettes to the woman.
"Come now, perhaps I simply missed your company. How are you, and Hazeshini? Mm... I've been here long enough today to see he's not been around. Still, I'm sure my dear brother has his motives."
Chishiki leaned forward, a hand placed gently on Kama's knee. Her smile was warm, maternal, but with a sparkling twinkle in her eye.
"Although... now you mention it, Kama, I did hear of something going. Something good, lucrative. Something that, maybe, could get Full House back to something worth less than a fistful of yen!"

"Hazeshini is fine. Hehahahehehehehehehe" A cackle could be heard approaching.
In a cold breeze, the door would open. Blood decorated his clothes, and he was missing an arm. In the other hand was a sack of cash. One that he'd plop it down onto the nearest table, and proceed to find a faucet to run his body under water. After disarming himself and the villain would rack his weapons with the rest, and finally plop down onto the couch, his icy internals still crunchy and crackling with each movement. An icicle slowly formed from the nub on his shoulder. Slowly but surely the monk's arm was returning, or at least appearing as mangled and beat up as he was. The warmth was quickly escaping as his quirk persevered. Already his hairs were like shards. At some point, he'd completely "thaw" for lack of a better term.
"It's not much but a job is a job." He was proud of his haul. There was no telling what he had to do to get it, but that was true of any money they had.

Kama let out a snicker, Chishiki's sense of humor was always able to get through to her even on the worst of days. On a day like this though? She was just B.O.R.E.D bored! A good laugh and better company were just what she needed, Chishiki was half of the best company she could think of.
"You absolutely can wanna see me without an ulterior motive, but if that was your plan then you would've brought a bottle of something strong"
Following up with a childish gesture of sticking her tongue out at the woman. Kama in private with her family was nothing at all like professional Kama (which was the way someone would describe her at all other times). It was then that she heard the devilish laugh that heralded Hazeshini's arrival. She turned to look, the cold air making goosebumps raise on her arms. If she weren't someone in the good graces of the individuals in the room, Kama would have goosebumps just from the sheer level of danger they posed. By the stars she loved them.
"Well well. How long has it been since all three of us have been in the same room?"
The woman stood and bowed to the man who was, for all intents and purposes, her uncle. He was a large part of the equation that forged her into the woman she was. Kama then looked to Chishiki and asked
"So...what's my part in this job? I've been so bored with my recent work, too many easy hits, too many shakedowns...ugh, the criminal underworld is just too tame these days"
Kama picked up one of her swords, standing far enough away to do a bit of practice with the single blade. The swords she chose had a very flowing technique to it, looking a bit like a dance when she moved through her forms slowly like she was in the moment.

"Nii-san! It's been so long~."
Chishiki was up and embracing Hazeshini, arms wrapping around his cold back. She withdraw, hands on his shoulders, smiling with genuine warmth and love. The last of her family. Chishiki moved away, drawing on her cigarette as she looked at Kana, grinning.
"Dear Kama, don't you know me better? There's a bottle chilling in ice as we speak. So, shall we get down to it, dear family?"
Chishiki pulled out a small square remote from her pocket, aiming it at a screen that sat quietly on the other side of their headquarters. It lit up, revealing a lot of different faces on there. Most of them had a thick red cross through the centre. A handful did not.
"We're nearly there... but our goal hasn't finished. Full House are nearly dealt with. Their betrayal with... our loved ones will be struck with a vengeance. But after that?"
Chishiki turned to the other two, fixing her gaze on them. Serious, stoic.
"Well... then we take Full House in the direction we want. We can't get Mae or Arafune back, but our revenge will be complete. Then the world is ours to take. We just have a few more names on the list."
Chishiki smiled sadly at them. They had been her lifeline since Mae's murder. Without Kama or Hazeshini, she would be somewhere far, far worse.
"Are you prepared, my loves? To finally be rid of our demons?"

Hazeshini was met with love when he arrived. It was unfamiliar and yet he felt like it was yesterday when Chishiki hugged him. His cold body warmed up rather quickly from that point. "It's been quite some time, Kama." He replied. He wore a smile, almost like the real one he used to have back when they were alive. There was a gaping hole where his heart used to be and it simply couldn't be replaced. There wasn't enough blood shed in the world to do so and yet it felt oh so good to the villain.
"I'll be off in a few days. I was able to track one of the last few down to Musutafu. " He'd state to the both of them. It was the dead of summer, but the city would be seeing Red Snow soon...
He chuckled to Kama, "Hnhn, you'll have a hit of your own. Unless you finish that one early... -You could assist Chishiki or myself." He noted.
