throw out the map, don't look back  Life is hard sometimes. Just a simple reality of being alive, no matter how nice things can be, life has a tendency of pulling the rug out from under you when you least expect it. Sometimes it was as simple as plans with a friend falling through, other times it was losing your surrogate brother to a giant bee. Honestly, at this point, Bishop was used to it! Nothing had gone right since they had come to Japan, why would that change now? No need to sulk, sulking had thrown him off his game, sulking wasn’t going to bring him back. So what’s the point? He had himself, he had Wes, he could still get them things, they were just back to where they started. Sometimes money even fell into their laps like the old days. Some people were dumb. He ran into their little hideout, a grin stretched along his face a mile long.
“Dude, Wes, you’re not gonna believe this shit. I was out prowling, wasn’t even doing anything, and this lady just...screams and drops her wallet. I tried to go after her, but apparently, the dog’s not what you wanna see coming at you. Wanna go do something fun? Head to the arcade or something? There’s enough in this thing to get us some tokens and still have enough for a few days of food.”
At this point, he knew they both needed a bit of a relief period. Things had been tough, and they didn’t have any indications of getting better any time soon. Little things like this, they were moments of light in an otherwise pretty shitty world! ...Well, at least they were for Bishop.
"I mean...go ahead without me bro.”
Don’t you dare.
“No matter how much I'd love a trip to an arcade, I probably should just...stay here and think about some things for myself. I can't just spend someone's money like that, you know? I want less of the past to haunt me everyday and using that wallet would be...well...too much. I'll try to plan out some 'food strategies' for us this week while you're gone; don't worry about me. Just...don't go overboard out there. That's all I ask."
The shift was immediate. That smile was gone, replaced with a slight curling of the lips and a quiet low growling sound. Wes had given the wrong answer.
You try to be nice to him, do something that makes it better for all of us, and this is what it gets you. Let’s go, we can come back later. He’ll see the stuff we can get for him. He just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t. We’ll make him get it. We will.
After a slow breath, he was back to normal, but he couldn’t totally turn off the scowl affixed to his face.
“When did you become all stuck-up? We’ve done worse to get less. But look, I’m going out to have some fun. Come with me if you want, I really don’t give a shit. If you want to sit around and sulk about bullshit, I’ll see you later. I’ll probably have food if you want some, whether you make your ‘plans’ or not.”
At that, Bishop was off. What he was going to do, he wasn’t sure, but he was positive that he’d find something. If he could say one thing about this city, it’s that there was rarely nothing to do. ...And there was never any lack of suckers to lift a few things off if he had to. Sure, without Wes, it didn’t work nearly as well, but...he could manage. Maybe hit the arcade, maybe get some food, who’s to say? Not like anyone was going to stop him.
Things had been...a little rough with Wes since Shiloh had been taken. It was nothing new, and god knows it wasn’t the first time, but it was getting...hard to deal with. The dog was alternating between making Bishop intensely tired and intensely stir-crazy, and it wasn’t ideal for any party involved. Bishop knew that, and he knew that he should be more understanding...but why didn’t Wes get that sitting around sulking and hiding in the shadows wasn’t going to do anything? The cops hadn’t come for them yet, which means they didn’t know where they were. They had no idea what Bishop even looked like, he’d been a dog, and even then they’d both been in masks! But alas, here they were. Today was apparently a stir-crazy day, and Bishop needed to get back out. Needed to do something.
As he wandered the streets, he gained a couple things: namely a bag of gummies to chew on and one for his brother for later, both shoved into his pocket. He might be mad with him, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to share the bounty. As he scanned for something to do, it presented itself before he could have expected: a butterfly themed sign, appropriately reading “Butterfly Arcade”.
“Well shit. Don’t remember that being there…”
He made his way towards it, pushing the door open and getting a lay of the place as it closed behind him. He made a beeline for the coin exchange machines, unable to help that grin starting to come back. Something about the sound got to Bishop, something nostalgic...

Benjiro woke up how he usually did checking the weather which looked like overcast which was usually mystery on how busy it'd be sometimes it'd be super busy sometimes very quiet but usually a happy medium. This cause him a slight smile as it was also Friday which was his day he usually was extra laid back he'd even go as far as having some cream in his coffee and butter on his normally plain toast. He soon went to have this lavish breakfast as he called it but it was nice on occasion having some creamy coffee and buttery toast but if he over indulged he knew he'd regret it. He also knew that today his boys would both be helping in the arcade making his job fairly easy for the day perhaps if it was a fairly slow day he'd spend some time prowling the streets tonight.
He then read the newspaper same old same old he did wish something new would be in the mail at some point would make life a little less dull. He soon walked down to open the door and his day started and it was a pretty happy medium today like he had hoped he would put Ichigo on security and basil cleaning up since kids loved to throw up in his arcade.
"Okay so Ichigo you get security today and as much as I loathe to say so you are on cleaning duty today Basil hopefully it isn't too dirty today."
He then began to sit down at his managerial desk and watch over the kids in the store so he could call out to Ichigo if any fights start and to basil if anyone throws up.

Not Dad-san almost seemed as though to kinda brace himself for a total flip out over the job today. "It's cool, don't worry 'bout it, Not Dad-san. I'll make sure your stuff stays nice n' clean, ten of ten people would agree that you can count on me..." Holding up his free hand to offer a thumbs up seal of approval, he flashed his teeth off in a sleepy grin and finished gathering up the coins, putting them away before standing up to his full height. Stretching a bit with a loud yawn which flashed off his sharp teeth, he smacked his lips a couple of times and hobbled along to gather the cleaning supplies. [break][break] Maybe there were certain things and machines that needed to be conditioned an tidied up? He'd been dressed up in a dress shirt and nice slacks to at least look presentably professional and his rectangular glasses rest upon the ridge of his nose. While making his way over to the janitor closet, his ears picked up on the subtle sounds of someone over at the coin machine. Something about it drew his attention today...but he finished putting on his apron before holding up his hand with a friendly grin. "YO~! Welcome to the Butterfly Arcade!" His tone was surprisingly chipper for someone who wanted to flop on the ground and take a nap, but hey! People made him excited. [break][break] "Fun fact, man, we modify the machines so that they use tokens instead of that credit card bullcrap, somethin' about droppin' coins in a machine to play games in an arcade's nostalgic as heck..." Oh yes, that's right, he was casual as could be, but he watched more his language around people like Not Dad-san and teachers at school. Kinda like a way of being respectful, you know?

[nospaces] [attr="class","skullhover"] [attr="class","skullimg"] [attr="class","skulltitle"]糖和血 [attr="class","skulloverlap"]BLOOD AS SWEET AND SUGARY AS HOENYED WORDS [attr="class","skullbody"]Ichigo was leaning behind the counter at the store with a sour expression on his face- he wasn't particularly upset or anything that was his face's default expression. Ichigo stares at the graying man as he handed out his and Basil's duties for the days. Ichigo let out a "Eh-" sound at the job today-when will Basil get guard duty-oh wait, Basil, would probably too sleepy to keep an eye on everybody. There he answered his question. Ichigo shrugged and said, "Cool, seems like a chill day, so I don't have to worry much," Ichigo said as he marches up and out of the counter area as he rolled his neck and shoulder with a circular motion.
[break][break]
Ichigo did a few rounds around the arcade to make sure nothing sketchy as hell was going on and that things are chill. While Basil looked professional and presentable, Ichigo refuses to wear dress shirts or slacks unless it is a wedding, funeral, or a teacher requested. So instead, he was wearing a black tank top which has the words Slash over the chest with chains around his neck, a leather jacket with a fur collar, leather pants, and boots. The Jacket got slung over his body, and one shoulder was hanging off of his body Ichigo was intimidating as they could get.
[break][break]
While making his rounds, he heard Basil's ever chipper tone. Ichigo let out a "Eh? weren't you about to pass out a few moments ago, sleepy bastard." Ichigo grumbled out as he was next to the kid near the coin machine. Ichigo listened to his brother explains the coin machine, and Ichigo let out a bit of a snort. "Yeah, these machines be old as balls, so It'd be feeling more authentic if we use tokens and shit." Ichigo said he marches off to do another round near the back for the first time his shift. Ichigo had a bit of a potty mouth on him, but he wasn't bad most of the time.

throw out the map, don't look back The discovery that this place didn’t appear to use cards was honestly just a massive moment for Bishop. Sure, it was small, but with everything going on...small things were a lot sometimes! And nothing really could beat the old ‘cup of coins’ method. Cards just weren’t the same, even if they were standard. Reminded him of the old school arcade back home! Wonder if that place was still open...probably not. It was on the ropes when he and Wes had made their grand escape. But Bishop hoped so anyway. He dug into his pockets to draw out the wad of ill-gotten yen, straightening it out by the machine, making quick work of them. If there’s one thing you learned how to do pretty well living like he did, it’s how to straighten out and organize. Sure, it was usually so that it didn’t look stolen, but hey, sorting bills to throw into an arcade was valid usage too. That said, he still got caught off guard, jumping and baring his teeth a bit, but thankfully catching himself before he turned.
"YO~! Welcome to the Butterfly Arcade!"
Whereas Basil looked pretty prim and proper right now, Bishop...didn’t. By any stretch. Messy shoulder length hair that looked like he hadn’t brushed it in a bit, sunken eyes, and a wardrobe of an old patch covered denim jacket, faded jeans, and...a surprisingly new looking shirt emblazoned with nature images. In short...he looked rough, a total punk. It stood in stark contrast to the pile of bills in his hand, though that got quickly shoved back into his pocket once the voice had chimed up. Calm down, time to turn on the charm. He cracks a casual smile, giving the new person a once over. Older than him, looked bigger too...he could still take him if needed. But hopefully it didn’t come to that. Don’t look suspicious. He fishes a few bills back out of his pocket, feeding them into the machine as the other spoke.
He saw you, he knows, get out, this place is too loud. Shut up, he didn’t see anything, we’re having fun. We could take him.
“Oh hey, English. That helps. Yeah, thanks man, haven’t checked this place out yet. Is it new?”
His accented English marked Bishop as a foreigner just as much as anything else about him, but that likely wasn’t as big of a deal as it usually was considering the other person was also speaking it. Bishop couldn’t help a bit more of a genuine smile at the familiar clink of coins falling, eyes flicking to the coin outlet as he just watched them go. There was something just nice about that. Even the dog seemed to like the view. He nodded to the other person’s words.
“Yeah man, I noticed. Good choice, the credit cards are boring as hell. Nothing beats that feel of just putting coins into a machine. Old timey as hell, but...I like it. Glad there’s a place around here that does it, missed the feeling. Used to have one back in Ch-” No, stop, give no info, he could be a cop. “Back home. Anyway, got any game recommendations? Don’t know the stuff here as well as I should.”
He laughs a bit, rubbing the back of his head in a feigned act of sheepishness. Keep ‘em comfortable, you’ll be fine...

Benjiro mostly made sure to pay attention to the moods his boys were in he usually based that on what kind of job to give them honestly he should put Basil on security next time since he'd scare less children with his more kind looking appearance not to say Ichigo isn't a nice kid he just is weird with his choice of words usually. Regardless He got comfy in his seat and pulled out his catalogue viewing it has been one of his favourite pastimes as of late it gave him plenty of business ideas though he decided it'd be really nice to maybe find some kind of partner so expanding would be easier and safer then alone.
He soon noticed his two sons both talking to some kid who seemed to walk in he let out a sigh but at least it was a fairly slow day so not a huge deal if they socialized abit. He did though wonder what kind of business he'd get today sometimes it starts quiet and quickly escalates and sometimes it just stays dead the entire day and nothing happens. He was fine with either but did prefer a busier day since he made a little more money so he could eventually buy more stuff for the Arcade.

Plus, man, he was pretty sure Not Dad-san would get his panties in a twist if he snuck into the broom closet to hide or something rather than trying to feed off of this awake energy going on around here.

A lot of those machines were, in fact, old as balls. [break][break] "We cornered a vintage market over here, pretty sure'ah that anyway..." Letting out a dismissive yawn, "Ehhh....Corridors of Rage grew on me, what about you, mister foul mouthed I can't even wear a gosh darn jacket correctly? You got somethin' to recommend?" Squinting toward the boy who came back from China to get his shit together. Huh...geeze...he couldn't put his finger on it, but something about this dude seemed kinda sus. The way he changed gears on the Ch word and quickly fixed it up? Yeah, fam, there was a little somethin' something up with the cover time...but as long as he didn't stir shit...he'd play it cool. [break][break] Like shit, for all he knew, the customer guy was nervous? Whatever...

[nospaces] [attr="class","skullhover"] [attr="class","skullimg"] [attr="class","skulltitle"]糖和血 [attr="class","skulloverlap"]BLOOD AS SWEET AND SUGARY AS HOENYED WORDS [attr="class","skullbody"]Ichigo made his rounds around the arcade, which frankly didn't take that long, all things considering as he arcade is not that big. Yet as his father would correct him every time, he commented on the size of the building. Ichigo made his rounds back to Basil and the punk-ish looking kid who looked like who attacked a thrift store, and he won. Despite Ichigo's scowl and sourpuss expression, he was feeling mild and low-key. Ichigo couldn't help but glance over at his father as he passed him and take a glance at the magazine before walking on, wondering what game the old geezer will get next.
[break][break]
Ichigo let out a small "Tch," Sound at his brother's Bruh comment and the one after it. "I'm Partial to Lethal Konfrontation, the lethalities are cool, but a pain to do." Ichigo said with a dismissively wave of his black sugary clawed as he answered his question.
[break][break]
As Basil sasses him, Ichigo scowled at his brother with an annoyed expression with his tongue sticking out and raising a middle finger at him as he muttered-"Fuck off bitch you know I sweat sugar, and that shit sticks to my clothes." Ichigo muttered as he lowered his hand and crossed his arms, and then he muttered in Chinese under his breath, "Fucking insensitive bitch ass sleepy bastard." Ichigo muttered away as he walks around the arcade a bit more, doing another round around the arcade.

throw out the map, don't look back “Hey man, the classics are the classics. Not gonna get complainin’ from me, I grew up on, like, Hydro Lightning an’ shit. Old machines work just fine.”
It was true, Bishop probably couldn’t identify the new machine anyway, he just wouldn’t recognize them! Physical arcades weren’t as big over in the States, so most of his ‘arcade’ experience was playing emulations and ports from long, long ago. Plus, you could get those for free, unlike arcades that you had to have money for. ...Not that that was an issue right now as Bishop shoveled his coins into a cup and shifted it between his hands. It felt nice, heavy. There was something to be said about that.
Could hit someone pretty good with it, no, not doing that right now.
He was about to speak up, but then in came a new person. Bishop took a moment to just look him over idly. His style was...not entirely dissimilar from the new person’s, only difference was that the new person looked a lot more intentional. Only thing intentional about Bishop was that jacket, the rest was...coincidental. And yes, the new person obviously didn’t know how to wear a jacket.
Bishop snickers at the back and forth, just letting it run before he even attempted to speak up again. Reminded him of Wes and their little jabs at each other too. ...Mostly from Bishop to Wes, but no matter. It was relatable, and reminded him of easier times. That seemed to be a trend since he’d walked in here! He idly let his eyes wander the arcade, taking in what games he could recognize, right up until he landed on the claw machines. Oh, he was gonna have to hit those, he always had a touch with them. Plus they had some resale value if this place had any of the good stuff, he knew that. Wes was better at the intricacies, but Bishop could manage. He tuned into the back and forth just about in time to pick things up. Sweating sugar?
Well shit, not just an arcade, but they have a Quirker. Be careful, you could take them, I could but I shouldn’t.
“Oh, cool, you have a Corridors of Rage machine? Yeah, definitely’ll hit that...could never get the hang of Lethal Konfrontation though. Always seemed super god damn complicated to do basic shit. ...Real fighting’s easier.”
Shut up, shut up.
“Aaaaanyway...what’s with the old guy? I mean, I know why you two’re probably here, gotta have like...people to work the place, but he’s just...there…”
Bishop looked over to the sitting man browsing his catalogue, then back to the two workers...but by then, the punky lookin’ one was already gone and patrolling again. Oh well, guess he just had to settle for this...oddly energied blue-haired dude. He’d come in all energy and pep, but it had died down once they’d started talking. Weird. Didn’t help that he was eyeing up Bishop with that suspicious look he knew all too well. Taking in his face, memorizing it. Probably gonna report him for being there. That’s just how people were. But he couldn’t leave now, he’d asked a question. It mostly just resulted in him looking even more sus because he was no longer really looking at the blue-haired dude, he was looking over his shoulder, trying to plan where to go after this. |

Benjiro despite looking like he was fully absorbed and occupied in his coveted catalogue but he knows all that goes on in his arcade every little swear every little mistake it's why he's so good at telling his sons where to clean or what fights to stop. For some reason however Ichigo seems to always forget that and occasionally lets out some less then desirable words which is usually prompted by Benjiro whipping out the grounding hammer. Benjiro began to move towards his silly sons and the new customer silently until he was now behind the three of them and simply put his hand down on ichigo's shoulder and began to talk. "Sounds like you want an all fruit diet this week son?." He gave a smile that you could tell behind it was annoyance at someone saying words they shouldn't around children such dirty bad words.
He then decided he may aswell get his lazy sons to get back to work or at least the one supposed to be on security duty ironically mister thinks he's a sailor. "Alright I'm not trying to ruin your little chat but Ichigo please get back to security duty I know you are bored but I can hear little gamer arguments again, sounds like mr. god and anime on his side is back. Basil it's slow go ahead and show the new customer around but if you see any messes clean them up."
He then quietly and silently returned to his coveted catalogue to read some more in peace and hopefully quiet and less swears though Ichigo is really bad for letting them slip. He did wonder if an all fruit diet for a week would go over well maybe he'd be less sweary or maybe it's manage to make ichigo even worse with the bad language.
