Lights Red as Blood
It was a rainy day in Shinjuku, the lights of the city reflecting off the massive puddles littering the streets, citizens huddling together under a mass of umbrellas. Amidst all the torrential rain, a woman stood leaning against the wall of an alleyway. She smacks the side of the wall with her fist before suddenly the building she was leaning against lit up with the light of all its fancy signs, the biggest of all of them reading "Shinku Ramen Shop" in bold yellow, outlined by a rather pronounced shade of red. The woman slowly walks into the shop as the lights inside flicker on, the woman disappearing into the back of the kitchen, at least for the time being. Inside, the counters would all be covered with small, cute looking menus, each one with a small Jack Frost on the cover.
Ah, one of the many streets dotting this city, a young teenage boy thinks to himself as he passes through. His armor seems rather worn and outdated, yet they haven't seemed to be able to replace it. Worn from the day, the man notices the Shop, signs blazing against the otherwise unremarkable alleyway, as though with a new energy, the boy walks into the shop, taking a seat along the counter and glancing over the menu as he waits
Kazuo was feeling hungry after a tiring day, though that was the norm. The day felt a bit moody, perhaps the sky was weeping the lose of a hero, perhaps a villain. Maybe it was just the clouds holding too much water. Whatever was the case, Kazuo set foot inside of the shop and quickly sat down next to the counter. "Ah, what to order, what to order~" He would reach out for one of the menus and look through it, anything hot would do after all.
Ooh~ This place isn't somewhere I've been before.... Yumina enters, sitting down and opening a menu
The woman approaches the three visitors, her hands at her hips and a white apron on her chest. "What can I get for you?" She spoke with a rather monotone, almost exhausted voice. Up close she'd look rather strange for a simple waitress, a black eyepatch covering almost half her face, and the coat she was wearing underneath was certainly far from normal street clothes, looking more like a dark longcoat.
*Roger Retinz enters the shop, shaking some rain off an umbrella.* Not exactly where I was trying to end up, but if it serves some decent food, I suppose I can escape the weather outside here. *Retinz picks up a menu and sits down, flipping a coin as he reads. He leans his umbrella on the side of his chair.*
(A skeleton turtle would walk around, then noticing the three people in the shop, and walks to them, as the rain makes bone a lot more darker looking) CLANK!, CLONK!

"Even the military's got it rough around here, I see." Kazuo chuckles at his own comment regarding the looks of the girl in front of him. He thought this was probably a bit rude, but he didn't exactly care if it was, since he laughed. "I'll have Miso ramen, if that's acceptable, my dear." He would quickly close his menu and look up at the girl's face, smiling. His smile was a bit awkward, somewhat forced as his mostly intense eyes seemed to prove. Despite this, he leans against his seat and waits patiently.
(It ran right into everyone, mostly into mr. Reus's legs, making his head fall straight into the ground, making his head roll off, right in the middle of the group) ....clonk...

Though the eyepatch seems rather large, considering the armor he's wearing, the teen doesn't think much of it. Instead, he simply looks over the menu for a few moments Ah yes, I think I would like to try a standard Shio Ramen bowl, it sounds quite nice and should help me get a taste of the place. The boy's eyes light up just thinking about it, though he may not have tried anything like it before, food is food, and that is always good.
*Retinz looks up slightly before pushing Dry Bones body back towards his head and away from him with his umbrella with a look of disgust.* Necromancers...

(The head would roll back to the skeleton, as his puts it back on, making a loud CLACK, as he stays by reus, being only as tall a normal adults leg) ....clank...

She nods and steps towards the kitchen, smacking a button on the wall as some rather calming ambient music starts playing in the shop. The woman walks outside the kitchen, walking back and forth on the counter. "Something to drink?" Suspiciously, the kitchen was still making noises, and a strange, almost unnatural atmosphere seemed to loom over the restaurant. Nothing seemed immediately wrong, however.
The young lad leans over, trying to get a glimpse at the kitchen. Odds are they have someone back there helping them, that's not unusual after all. Though he fails to find much of anything, the teenager shrugs and glances back to the menu Just a water will be good. Not quite drinking age unfortunately. Got scolded for it all the time back home. The teen glances back over the menu for a moment, before blinking and snapping back to attention Just for being there, I never actually drank or anything.... Don't mean to cause any real confusion
"Oh no, the ramen will do just fine my dear. Although thanks for offering." He would rest his head against his hand as his elbow rested on the counter. The noises and atmosphere were a bit difficult to ignore, as if it was just calling to him somehow. It was curious to say the least. He wasn't that interested however, since his "danger" radar wasn't going off yet. "It could though, but what can I do? I'm still hungry." Stop playing tricks on me, brain. There is nothing wrong here, not until I taste poison or end up as a russian sex slave.
*Retinz glances down at the Dry Bones before sighing and knocking it away with his umbrella.*
(The umbrella would simply be knocked back a small bit, before getting a bit mad) CLINK CLANK! (he then throws a small, cartoonish bone at his chest in a arc toss)
A certain Hunter Exo, walk into the ramen shop with a bag of weapons and engrams over his shoulder, he takes a seat but his hand cannon revolver falls out of his holster. Oh how thoughtful another ramen shop. I bet this is like the same as that spicy ramen shop one down at the market at the Tower.
She narrows sighs and yawns, not moving from where she was standing. She'd turn back towards the kitchen and reach through a small window, taking the bowls handed to her and sliding them towards their respectful recipients, pouring out a water for the young boy and placing it beside his bowl. For a brief moment however, it almost looked like there were two of her from the angle of the window. Perhaps a mirror?
(The skeleton turtle would turn around, and looks shocked at the robot) CLONK PONK KINCK PONK!
*The bone breaks Retinz menu. Retinz closes it, slightly annoyed, before grabbing his umbrella and getting up* This place has a hell of a customer base for have here. Maybe I'll try again when your more undesirable customers are gone. Until then, hang loose, baby. *Retinz reaches down and picks Dry Bones head off its shoulders before walking to the door and chucking it outside before opening his umbrella and heading out the door.*
He looks at Dry-bones while he starts drinking what it seems to be liquid coolant. Why is there a walking turtle skeleton and why is he looking at me weirdly?
Clonk ponk? Clink dink shink clonk?, clonk ponk! (It seems its trying talk to the robot...but can't)
Cayde turns to the Dry-bones and grabs his handcannon and holstering it. Hi, my name is Cayde mister Bones. I am a Hunter, a Guardian. It is nice to meet you.
(He bows at the robot, making its head fall off, rolling straight to cayde's feet) ...clunk...
The woman glares to Cayde and the small skeleton, sighing and seeming to mumble to herself. "I suppose it isn't the strangest thing around here..." She begins cleaning a few glasses, idly watching the customers.
He grabs the head and puts it back on it's body. There you go. Cayde turns to the counter and thinking up of a ramen bowl. I wonder if this place have pork Shio Ramen?

"You would be surprised, ramen girl." Kazuo comments on what the girl just said, although in a very lazy tone. After this, he began to whistle quite loudly some kind of song. He didn't seem to care other people were around either.
(When the head is put back on. A loud CRACK can be heard) ....CLANK KNICK!
Edge tries to lean in closer to the window for a moment, a twin perhaps? The kid sits back down when the shop owner leaves the kitchen, so as not to appear rude, Edge cheerfully grins and accepts the meal Thank you for that ma'am. I'll dig right in. And certainly enough without further ado Edge begins to eat, much as one who had been stranded in the wilds, he eats with a focus and haste that might be virtually unmatched
Cayde simply sits as he waits for his food while spinning his revolver around like the swag hunter he is. Soooo... anyone having a fine time in this establishment?
CLONK!
The woman darts her eyes to the left and grumbles. "Don't mention it." The woman walks back into the kitchen, only to come back moments later. Through the window, it almost looked like now 2 of her were walking around behind the scenes.
Cayde drops his gun and slightly raises his hands. Alright. I'll just sush up until my food arrives.
...clomp...
The woman slides a bowl filled with miso ramen at Cayde, before a second version of her steps out from the kitchen, beckoning herself. "Just a moment." As if the two were conspiring with each other, they'd look through the window of the kitchen, gazing at the customers.
(He'd then pull out 2 small, cartoonish bone made out of gold, and gives it to cayde and yamiko, and a peace offering.. Or just being nice) ...clunk!
(edited by Dry-bones)
His eyes glows when looking at the bowl and opens up his personal ramen eating kit. Oh yes! And it's miso too... Cayde looks out into the void for a second. Trying to remember something. Did Zavala said that I have to go on a diet due to my heating habits? Naaaah it's miso so I am good. He puts his bag off loot on the ground and starts eating while he points to his bag. Drop the gold bone so I can add it to my collection.

(He tosses the golden bone in the bag) CLANK!
