RE: Resting at Roppongi (//Private RP) - Emiko Sato - 04-17-2019
This was it, the point where she either embraced a new life or the lessons her father taught her finally kicked in. She took the vial and looked at it for a moment. Looking up with her eyes at Hanako's smile for a brief second, she looked back to the vial. Yes, a lesson from her father did kick in but it was the one that said, "Once you set your mind to something, don't stop." With a quick sigh, she put the breather to her lips and pressed down, inhaling it deeply as she did the smoke from her kiresu. Her eyes closed as she drew it in, her chest expanding as the cardamine filled her lungs. Having never done anything like it, the effects were immediate as the vial fell from her hand and her head leaned back. As the feeling from her body went away, she began seeing things from her past.
It was most recent events that came first. The murder of the executive to impress the sisters, his eyes opening wide as her hairsticks impaled his lungs. The murder of William Mortimer when her father's fiance grabbed his gun and shot the man point blank in the head. The takeover of Gran Canaria and her fleeing into hiding.
She sat, her body swaying a bit under the influence. She felt nothing for the moment considering how deeply she inhaled it. Memories of her childhood with her mother when they would garden together at Tombstone Estate, the coma her mother laid in after hemorrhaging after the birth of her twin brother and sister and the argument that would separate her parents and finally, the death of her mother in child birth.
Memories of the escape on Erie. Tending to the George and Gracie, her father's horses while he fished for the day's meal. It seemed like an eternity that she was in the trance before finally opening her eyes and looking into the face of Hanako. For all of the numbness she felt, she felt a little sick to her stomach but managed a soft smile.
"Woah," she said, "that was.......trippy."
She still felt woosy between the cardamine and the Sake as she put her hands out to hold herself up. "I hope it gets better each time."
She then looked around the room, "So do I get to call you Sisters now?"

Misaki kneeled at her side and smirked.
"Seems like the cardi was pretty rough on you, little sister."
She took the vial out of Emiko's hand and brought it back to the other items. By now the matriarch stood next to her.
"Yes, now you are my sister." her hand reached up to her mask and she removed it. Emiko could now see her entire face. She was a Kusarian woman in her twenties."No more secrets between us, sister. My name is Aya Ishikawa, the matriarch of the Chrysanthemums. You will never fight alone again."
RE: Resting at Roppongi (//Private RP) - Emiko Sato - 04-18-2019
Emiko took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She was still very much under the influence. She could feel the cardamine all over her body. If cardamine could talk, it would be saying, "New client. Take them over!"
"Yes, Sister," she said to Misaki, "I have never done anything like that." This was about the time the Matriarch removed her mask. Emiko saw herself somewhat in her new sister, a young, Kusari woman...a pretty woman.
"No more secrets between us, sister" troubled her for a brief moment as her head was still very much in the clouds.
"One secret must remain," she thought to herself. "No one can know who my father is."
She then formally introduced herself. "I am Emiko Sato." She paused a moment looking around at each of her new sisters, "It will be my honor to fight with you."
Her head was settling but the cardamine was also settling as it was taking her over. Gradually, she started to calm except that she still felt a little sick to her stomach.
"Sister," she asked, "is it common to feel a little sick after the first time taking it and how often will I need to use it?"
As she awaited an answer, she reached her kiseru and put it in her lips. She lit it and drew in the smoke, smiling as she released it and then offering it to her sisters.

Hanako rolled her weight back to the pads of her boots and pushed herself up in a single movement of grace, she didn't wear a mask cause she honestly didn't care who saw her she also breathed and or injected the cardamine often enough she didn't need one. She looked to Misaki before looking to Emiko. Giving her a soft smile, it would seem at this point Hanako was older than the Matriarch but respected her more than anyone. "The effects of cardamine are always the best and worst in the first few months sister, soon it'll be like breathing air." She would take a seat on the opposite end of Emiko that the matriarch was standing on, crossing her legs and giving her another smile. "Welcome to the sisterhood Emiko." Hanako didn't really smoke but decided not to be rude and accepted the offer, taking the kiseru and very lightly taking it into her hand, balancing it between two fingers as she pressed her lips to it and drew in smoke slowly before removing the kiseru from her lips and bowing her head lightly instead of saying thank you, offering it back to Emiko before exhaling slowly.

Emiko smiled. It was obvious that Hanako wasn't a smoker but she appreciated the gesture. She then held it out and offered it to the others.
"Best and worst in the first few months," she replied, "from what I've learned, it's when one is denied it after being dependent on it." She then turned to the Matriarch, "Where can I get a breather of my own? I travel and don't want to be without."
Finding her feet, she used a doorway to keep her balance. This was all so new as her head was still very much in the clouds between the cardamine and Sake. She placed an open hand on her stomach. "I do hope the nausea is temporary. Perhaps some food will settle that."
RE: Resting at Roppongi (//Private RP) - Megaera - 04-19-2019
Aya was still observing Emiko, who seemed to be disorientated by the ordeal.
"The breather shall be provided, ofcourse. Along with the supply you need. We always got spares onboard of our vessels, feel free to take two incase one of them malfunctions. The cardamine trade is very profitable for us, but we provide it to our sisters for free.
We will set course to Morioka. There you will be shown around by your new sister."
She looked at Hanako.

Hanako got up and watched Emiko quietly, noting the odd grab at her stomach she made as she gripped the doorway. Crossing her arms under her chest as she sighed. Glancing to Misaki, sounding a bit annoyed. Almost like a child having to do chores. "Think I gotta help her walk too?" Hanako gave Misaki a grin and a giggle before walking over to Emiko and placing her hand on her shoulder, leaning around her to look at her face. "You'll get through it. Atleast I hope you will." Hanako gently ran her hand up and down Emiko's back to help with the nausea as her mother had once done for her. "Are you feeling well enough to fly, I don't really like staying here any longer than we have too."
RE: Resting at Roppongi (//Private RP) - Emiko Sato - 04-20-2019
She managed a light smile and gave a nod to Hanako, "I will be fine. Sorry, I've never done anything like this until today."
She dug deep to find some strength and got through the discomfort. Nibbling on some snack food helped a little. With that, she went aboard the ship, prepared for the next part of her journey.
