Who: Itsuki, Parley (distorts_space), open to other folks too
When: Sunday, August 10th (backdated)
Where: Myoudouin Dojo
What: The dojo has an exhibition today, and that means the heir is in combat. Combat can take some weird turns sometimes, though...

Every so often - maybe a couple times a month, sometimes more, sometimes less, it depends on how the Myoudouin patriarch is feeling - the Myoudouin Dojo opens its doors for a public exhibition match or several. Usually, these are arranged, but on occasion he'll take other folks that he knows are (or that claim to be) strong enough to let Itsuki give a good showing. Or remind her that she's not as strong as she wishes she were, in some cases, though that hasn't happened lately.

Today is one such day; there have been flyers posted around the city for several days now, as it's always a good spectacle to watch trained martial artists in their element. The main event is a spar; it's of course not the only event taking place today. Everyone has a role, from the lower-ranked students breaking boards and answering questions (and making sure nobody gets too close), to the higher-ranks demonstrating techniques, escapes, and general badassery. It's kind of an impromptu open house, which helps bolster enrollment rates aside from being a big to-do.

The fighters for the spar, though... that part may surprise folks. Not that Itsuki's fazed by that part; that's far from her mind, right now. The person she's facing today is someone she likes to think she can call a friend, and that means Itsuki needs to put on a good show, for more than just the crowd she already knows will assemble. Has assembled; it's only a few minutes to showtime at this point. She's left Potpourri asleep in her room, thankfully undiscovered thus far, so she only has one thing on her mind right now.

[[Itsuki is slated to spar with Parley; that fight has a particular ending, which mandates that Itsuki may or may not be back at its end. She'll be around to mingle before things start, though. And there's plenty of time for questions and commentary.]]

What a time to visit this city! Something was afoot, that much was obvious. Lots of activity, lots of confused people. And that omegacracker she had obtained in the shadier parts of Little Tokyo had given her all sorts of interesting hints about the current situation.

Someone had pulled a spectacular heist! Truly impressive, it made her curious indeed. As such, she had to investigate a little. Right at the source, of course: The statue that had originally been considered the target.

As there would likely be a considerable presence of supers, Himiko didn't even bother to disguise herself, and walked up to the statues in the middle of the night, tails and ears, black eyes and dress visible to all that'd look. But then, this was her costume, in a way, since her mundane look was when she was disguised!

Let's see if someone would try to stop her. Or help, perhaps! Regardless which, it'd be a good way to gauge the people of this place. And maybe get a bit of a hint on what was going on, if she would be able to take a closer look at that orb... Oh, she very much wanted to examine it from all sorts of angles!

Hello, people of Venture city reading this thread! I'm a fairly new citizen, living in a humble abode in Little Tokyo. Where'd one go to find some excitement in this city? Any of you got a recommendation or two for a newcomer?
