He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
⌛ Who: Karma and OPEN
⌛ What: Come meet Karma! In a dress for all three prompts.
⌛ When: 3/30 - 4/2
⌛ Where: Around Nippon.
⌛ Warnings: None yet; will update if needed.
[ 1. Searching the City ]
There is only one king: King Genaro!
Even days later that loop is still echoing in Karma's head. It had taken some time and careful maneuvering at odd hours (and being very thankful he arrived in his dress) to locate someone who could manifest a voice-change potion for him. But, now that his illusion is re-complete, he was willing to step outside and socialise properly. Though his priority was primarily the voice-changing potion, he hasn't had the time to shop for any new outfits. So he's wearing his usual gold blouse, red skirt, and shoulder-draping his green shawl.
The conveniences in this city are both fantastic and unbelievable - he can't imagine anything like this back home.
He remembers grabbing Lucette's hand as he worked the crowd into a chanting frenzy against the king surrendering his crown to the head of the guard, fleeing back to the Marchen. How they had to carefully plan to infiltrate the castle before the king would be executed under the false pretense of an 'incurable illness'.
The normally-alert lost prince plays the loop over and over in his head as he looks bewildered at the sights. And just as he wonders if and how the others are storming the castle, if Lucette is safe, he accidentally walks into you.
He quickly backs up and straightens himself, steadying you if need be. He gives a nervous smile.
"I'm so sorry, darling. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Are you alright?" he asks you in a lovely, warm, effeminate voice.
[ 2. Little Edo ]
While magic isn't uncommon where he's from, this technology from it is a little overwhelming. So coming acrost this area, though still not quite familiar, became more of a breather from the more advanced parts. And the kindness around here is a wonderful welcome. It's almost exactly what the doctor ordered.
Karma returns the kind remarks and pours on his usual charm with any who greet him as he strolls around. He has no real destination, he's just enjoying the people here. After what feels like a suitable time, Karma supposes it's a good idea to rest and get something to drink.
Though... being alone inside a teahouse seems to ruin the experience, right? Yes, assuredly he needs someone to come with him.
He looks around, and then believes he's found the perfect tea companion - he walks over to you with a big smile.
"Excuse me, darling, would you mind accompanying me for tea? I would love some company."
[ 3. Kannai ]
Taking a chance to sightsee and gain some familiarty with the surrounding towns, be it for errands, ideal places to apartment hunt, or just shop, he finds himself in Kannai eventually. He's not sure if there's much different about this place. The bustle and technology seem to be almost identical. But... maybe he should look around a little longer before deciding to head home. You never know where you'll find a gem.
But it doesn't take long for his first mishap here, does it? Someone runs by and yoinks his coin purse. Karma blinks, but it only takes a second or two for it to register just what happened.
"Excuse you! Don't you know it's rude to steal from a lady!?"
He's so visibly agitated about this. If he had his sword with him, he would make swift work of this thief. Either way, you can now see a redheaded woman with a glare that could kill dashing past you trying to catch up to the thief.
"Cease and desist! How dare you!?" He calls after them.
Help a lady out, won't you?

Someone rushed by, followed by a very angry woman and it didn't take long for her to figure it out and so she quickly turned and ran after them. Catching up to the red-haired woman was easy enough, keeping in stride with her. Her eyes were bright, pigtails bouncing a little as she ran. "If you'd like... I can give you a long-range whip and you could catch them with it?" She offered helpfully, the thief still in sight.
While she wasn't the best fighter out there, she had the resources to help others out and that was fine with her all the same.

His pacing doesn't slow as he ponders Persephone's offer. With a click of his tongue he holds out one of his hands to her.
"Alright, darling; quickly." His tone is terse, but certainly not a terseness directed at Persephone.
He's not as skilled in the whip as he is with the sword, but circumstances call for quick thinking. Quick thinking this girl provided.
no subject
Within a matter of seconds, Persephone brought forth a rather lovely, high-quality whip and placed it in Karma's outstretched hand. "There you go! Best one I have. It's got fantastic range, too!" She chimed happily, another click following the first before she brought back her other hand.
This particular weapon was one of her newer additions so she was thrilled to see it used in action.
no subject
"Thank you, darling. I'll put it to good use."
He rotates his wrist briefly as he lets the whip unravel. When he flicks it with a full swing, he grinds his feet to plant himself in the ground to brace for the hopeful grab and yank the thief back.
He's still not completely confident with his flick, but it should be confident enough. And...
It thankfully connects, latching onto the thief by the forearm. There's a physical jolt from both the thief as they're yanked back, and Karma as he tries to hold his ground steady. The thief hits the ground, the purse flying from their fingertips.
no subject
Perhaps it was just because she was a naturally optimistic person, but she really did have faith in Karma's skills. They just struck her as the type as being able to use weapons and it turned out her intuition had been correct.
Her eyes lit up watching the other woman actually connect the whip with the thief, causing the latter person to hit the ground less than gracefully. It really was quite impressive. As the purse went flying, Persephone ran forwards and caught it before it had a chance to hit the ground as well, sighing in relief before looking to the thief quietly.
"Really. You should know better than to steal things from a lady."
no subject
"Said quite well, indeed. Anyone who treats a woman with such disrespect is absolutely revolting. We will assuredly get you to the proper authorities."
Karma places his foot over the thief's chest then holds out the wrapped whip back to Persephone.
"Thank you again, darling. I don't know if I could have done it without you. I don't suppose you know your way around already? I'm not quite sure where the said proper authorities are."
no subject
Something that had Persephone a tiny bit starstruck because it was almost like watching her foster mom, who was a strong, confident woman like Karma was. "Huh?" She blinked a bit before clearing her throat and nodding. "You're welcome! I just happened to be in the area so I wasn't just gonna stand by while that happened." She grinned a bit now as well. "Yeah! You just gotta look for 'em since they wear a kinda fancy armor or somethin'" Persephone took back her whip while offering the other woman her purse back, her eyes scanning the people around them before pointing to someone dressed in full armor just down the road.
To which she just waved one of her arms back and forth trying to get the officer's attention. "Oi! Sir! We caught a nasty thief 'ere! Please come and apprehend him." Hopefully the man wouldn't be off-put by this tiny british girl calling out to him.
no subject
Karma gives a brief rundown of the purse-snatching and makes sure that the guard has a secure grip on the thief before letting them go.
As they walk off, Karma lets off a huff and finally gives Persephone a proper smile.
"Well, then, surely a reward is in order. Do you like tea or cake, darling? It's my treat."
no subject
From fiddling with the hem of her jacket to just somewhat idly messing with one of her pigtails, it felt like time passed entirely too slowly. Only as the officer walked off with the thief, did Persephone look back to the taller woman with small, glittering stars briefly materializing in the air around her as she realized what was being asked of her.
"R-Really?! I admit i'm rather fond of th' idea of cake, if you don't mind!" She'd not done it for the prospect of being rewarded but it was a VERY nice bonus and it made her feel even happier that she'd done it. "Tea's not bad, but 'm definitely a bit peckish and a snack really sounds great about now."
