Ham-fisted recruitment
There had been a big incident with monsters and the armor. Followed by her having men in suits from the government bringing her in to have a very long conversation with her. She had been very tired from the fight and had to fight to not let anything slip.

But they knew about the armor. They knew about the fact she fought monsters and was pretty good at tracking information down on them. They knew pretty much everything about her.

It was very unnerving. And even more unnerving to be left alone in that windowless office to just wait.

Apparently someone wanted to talk to her.

She was having an 'oh crap' moment.

	"Oh." She adjusts her glasses. "So you might have heard about my dealing with other creatures too." Ghosts as well. She won't think about that. "I can't stop. So telling me to sit this out won't help Agent Sunset. The armor.... well. It prevents me from not fighting. It's... Complicated. And a family duty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know all about family duty. But you're going to fulfill yours with furthur training and appropriate backup. I've been authorized to invite you to join the Six." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She blinked at Amiko. "The armor supplements what training I do..." Oh. It's sinking in now. She blinks and smiles a little more. "Maybe I won't have to rely on the armor to heal me so much after this. I don't know what to say... Um." She sheepishly bites her lower lip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko offers a warm hand. "Why don't you come meet the team?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She adjusts her glasses again and takes the offered hand. Mostly to show she's willing to trust Amiko.

"Okay. I... It's going to be weird for me. I was raised to know I'd likely be working alone. Papa said since the armor was gifted to our ancestor we've never kept allies for long.

We try to stay out of the lime light so we can protect Japan from things people shouldn't have to see."

	"Did he mention any formal curses? How long has the armor been in your family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well. We know that our ancestor earned the favor of a kitsune. He was a ronin he saved her from harm and she was the servant of a god. She gave him the armor because she admired his noble spirit. The armor goes stronger and weaker with the moon. Different protection levels.

It also self-repairs and demands that the bearer eats a great deal of food. And it.... It attracts evil to me."

She looks uncomfortable. "Also only men can truly bond to the armor. Because of this sometimes when I transform back I don't have all my clothes, just so you know. I mean aside from the not being able to retire it's not so terrible. I just.... have to be sure to continue the bloodline someday. That's part of my duty."

	"Well I don't plan on dying," she points out. "I'm planning for my future. I'm going to college be... because I want a balance. You can't be all just one thing. I'm just studying history and folklore because it's convenient and I like it. I mean... it helps. I've learned research is often the key." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-09-16 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Kayura looks thoughtful after Amiko introduces herself. Her family hadn't been involved in clan politics truly for a very long time. They had been lucky that way. But she sill heard things. Clan Yashida is an honorable clan. That is what she understands anyways. "It's an honor to meet you then, Kobyashi-san." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes." She looks a little entertained. "Papa used to wonder if he was some kind of mutated sea spirit. He checked to be sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Grogg is... Grogg," Amiko says cheerfully. "We also have our very own kensei, and some other new additions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That has her looking very curious. Then she tilts her head while thinking it all over.

"I guess that makes sense. I hadn't paid attention to the news about the team... my life was very busy when your team came about."

The armor had just bonded to her. Her father was dead and she still wondered if her mother still lived. She wouldn't ask anyone about that though. There was no need to ask for help.

"Will you be asking the kensai to assist with my training? Out of armor my sword skills are.... what my father called passable. If he had lived I would still be training under him."

	It had been almost nine months. Kayura had mourned her father and taken her grief out on any monster that threatened innocent lives. Maybe it was reckless to let her feelings lead her but she hadn't cared. "Tha....Thank you Kobayshi-san," she said retreating into a more formal tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2011-09-16 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	She nods. "Let's go meet the team. I have... another introduction to make, too." She takes Kayura back to HQ and calls together Hajime, Grogg, Clockwork and ...Keiji. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hajime is there promptly, pausing only long enough to clean up from his current workout. He bows deeply to Amiko, then considers the guest a moment, before stepping out of the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Clockwork arrives, carrying a new potted plant, and the cellphone that Amiko had taught it how to use for texting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grogg arrives too, looking slightly uncomfortable in his pressed shirt and tie, which he wears when not on missions. "Hello Missy Kobayashi!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-09-16 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Keiji arrives quietly and with little fanfare. He gives Amiko a nod of respect, all he dares show at the moment. Wait..that girl, he knows her. Still, he says nothing, it wasn't his place to do so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
