[ Asura sits on a stool, in front of an easel, arms crossed and head down. He has a wide-brimmed hat tipped down, giving the impression he's snoozing while waiting for business.

The sign says 'I will paint your soul for $20' ]

(( while practicing a new art program, I made some Soul Eater style orb souls of recent CR, and still wanting to practice, threaders get one.

…Interesting. Show me what you see.

[Miang smirks ever so slightly, sitting down.]

Mmm?

[ Asura lifts a finger to push the brim of his hat up, revealing he can't see her anyway- or at least, the full head blindfold would implies it. ]

Hey...Are you trying to trick me? Like when kids get in a trenchcoat to go to adult movies...

[ Despits his softly spoken protest, he stretches as he 'wakes up' then gets to work with his brush. Asura glances back and forth between the canvas and Miang three times throughout the short process, then turns the easel around. ]

I'm going to do the dominant soul. It's $20 each.

((Based on my wiki research, I decided to take the features from the Urobolus form as I think it's like, a representation of spirit, and I wanted it a bit snakey for that too, so I made a gear tail to represent programming AND all those prior souls like... stuck in there. ))

[Miang’s eyebrows arch in interest at the reaction, but she keeps quiet until he’s finished.]

…You’re quite perceptive. I’d say you’ve more than earned your fee.

[Paid in full, with a small tip.]

[ Asura carefully counts and double-checks the payment. As far as he's concerned, this lady is a trickster! ]

These eyes don't symbolise being oblivious, you know.

[ His tone is soft and quiet, with a playful lilt. Even with his face wrapped up, there's a smile audible. ]

Snakes aren't used to their coils being seen through, eh?

[Trickster would be one word for it, and certainly one she’s been called on more than one occasion.]

I’ll grant you that. You must have quite an advanced mastery of ether to see that much.

Well... ether/or.

[ Asura places fingers over his mask, right where his mouth is, like he's covering a titter. ]

You're quite fascinating yourself... It's quite scary. If it weren't so rude to ask a lady, I'd want to know how old you are to have such an ancient presence.

Typically I’d play all of this rather close to the chest, but considering the liminal space we currently find ourselves in, I don’t mind pulling back the veil a bit. I have existed - in one form or another - for the ten thousand years humanity has inhabited the planet I call home.

...Wow... Well, I do like a mature lady.

[ Asura holds up one hand in front of his mask, fingers in a pincher pose so he can simulate a wink by squeezing them together. ]

And you've spent all that time as an engine, turning the gears... it's terrifyingly tragic. Do you even know how to make choices of your own?

[ As he speaks, he points at the gears of the painting, twirling a finger to simulate their turning. ]

I have freedom to act within the confines of my role.

[She doesn’t seem too broken up about it.]

If I had to define any part of my existence as ‘tragic,’ it would be the constant awareness that I am a missing piece of a greater whole.

[Byakuran is all smiles like mostly always and instead of sitting down on the other stool, he instead folds out his fluffy wings, crosses his legs underneath him and stays perfectly still in the air as his wings softly flaps away.]

Fufufu~ Go ahead~

[ Asura barely has time to reset his resting pose before the second visitor and- ]

Hey! Another one trying to sneak extras in here... I see right through you.

[ To simulate narrowing his eyes, Asura holds up his hands brings his fingers closer around the marks on his mask, like looking through invisible binoculars.

But, once again, despite his protests, he just gets right on with it anyway. ]

Well, I suppose the guy in your wings is very close to you... so I'll let you get away with it, this time.

[ Asura starts with a brush, but swaps to his fingers when it's time for the finishing touches. ]

Huh. Never would've pegged you for an artiste.

[Jade folds her arms where she stands, not quite settled on this yet.]

By some people's standards, I'm a "soulless heathen". You sure you wanna paint that?

Heh.

[ Asura doesn't move from his snoozing pose for Jade, not until he's sure she actually wants to see what he does. ]

I'm not interested in the idiot ideas of those who try to determine who has a soul or not. Only in what my own eyes see.

[A very large, cute white wolf is sitting here! Behind a tiny wooden box and a sign that reads:

Doggy kisses or divine blessings 4 sale Cost: food. any kind. no allergies

Do you patronize this sun goddess?]

( ah. it says any food, but— )

Do you have a favorite?

( he's unpacking his train station bento anyway. he's never seen anything like this before, so it's very intriguing. )

It's unadon.

( he kneels, sets the bento on the wooden box. )

[EEL... that sounds SO GOOD.... oh that smells AMAZING. She's drooling well before he sets it down.

And then, it's there, and she NOMS. Chomp chomp chomp chomp-- rice is FLYING as she horfs it down, tail wagging a million miles an hour.]

( oh. his heart stutters oddly from that. he's not sure why.

not fearing at all for his life, or his hand, some weird instinct drives him to reach out as the wolf excitedly feasts on the bento, intent to pat the elegant beast on the head, maybe scratch behind the ears. )

[Her tail wags even harder, and she leans into the scritches. Letting out a happy whine and almost exaggeratedly licking her chops, Amaterasu started panting and gently licking at Shigeru's wrist. Doggy kisses offered!]

[Big wolf. Have to pet.]

I have some croissants, fresh muffins and an assortment of chocolates if you would like any of that?

[Her inky eyes widen and she starts visibly drooling. She doesn't know what any of those are but they sound SO good and this lady smells like something beautifully baked and sweet and INCREDIBLE...]

[Aww, what a cute sight. Chocola smiles and opened the bag she had slung over her shoulder, pulling out the baked goods.]

Here you go.

[She holds out a muffin, not afraid of the wolf in the slightest.]

Oh my gosh you're so cute!! I have some nikuman I just bought and they're still warm!

[Nevermind that Nejire bought them for herself but she can buy more later. This is too adorable to pass up!]

Is that okay?

Are you okay with being pet??

What about hugs???

I have coffee, tea, and other hand-crafted, non-alcoholic drinks.

You, presumably, have some form of currency to pay for said drink, or drinks. Though I could be convinced to accept offers for bartering or sexual favors.

Coffee- from home-grown and roasted beans by the pound to a brewed cup. Everything can be bartered for, but money is preferred.

Kishin Asura ΦΦΦ Soul Eater

Miang from Xenogears, for reference sake

This was a challenge, but one I enjoyed.

Glad to hear it, her canon is a tangled mess of psychology and religion

And the personality section of all of the Miang sections I found didn't explain her personality!

She’s kind of “programmed” with a singular goal and manipulates humanity to achieve it

But weirdly, all the personality sections are more about her history.

in case of reference, Byakuran from Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Wow, I haven't thought about KHR for a while.
