Today was a normal day in Nagashima. The sun was shining, the birds were flying and the shopping center was relatively active.
"Hmm..."

A young girl was walking out on the streets looking at the shops. She was supposed to come here to get some things for home. Easier said than done. Shops back in her old city were conveniently placed. Here, well...
"Why is it that a place for a good spanner isn't across the street from the bakery?"

Torako stepped out of a nearby storefront, eating away at a orange and black licorice flavored ice cream cone. Today was pretty hot for winter. She didn't even have a sweater on today. Just a orange tank top and blue denim shorts, and some black sneakers.

"Well, the place for a good spanner is near other goods shops. There's like, a magic shop and a clothing store not too far away from it." said Torako, stepping besides the girl.

Turning her head, the girl found that someone was offering her advice. Nodding her head over at the girl, she responded...
"Thanks. I'm actually new to this place so things are a bit different."

Sticking out her hand, the girl introduced herself as...
"Kaya. You?"

She reached out for the hand. She shook it firmly, keeping strong eye contact, and shaking it even after the other girl stopped shaking back.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Torako!~" she said, turning her head. "You'll like this town a lot, trust me. Let me take you on a small tour as we walk to the hardware store."

"Thanks. That'd be useful."

Walking with the girl, Kaya took her time look around the center and taking in the sights.
"So, I'm just here to buy some things for home. Spanners, industrial cleaners, some engine parts..."

"No problem! Always willing to give a another girl a hand!" said Torako, beaming.

She lead Kaya around, eating her ice cream as they strolled around.

"So, you from Kansai, or something? Not many girls work on engines around here. I mean, even in Hokkaido, there weren't too many girls who liked wrenches either." said Torako, biting the cone.

Nodding along to what she had to say, Kaya responded...
"Somewhere around there. A coastal city. And I just like machines. Can't live without 'em."

As they approached the nearest Maintenance store, there was something that caught Kaya's eye. Specifically, she saw a woman getting mugged, with the culprit now trying to run off with a purse. Glaring sharply, she told Torako...
"Can you please hold on for a moment, there's an arm I need to snap."

With that, she ran off to pursue the burglar with surprising speed.

At roughly the same time as Kaya took off after the purse snatcher, a figure bounded out of the crowd and joined pursuit as well. The tall, long-limbed man said nothing, but easily kept pace with the young woman.

Wei reached into his coat, and produced a sheathed knife, holding it in his left hand but not drawing just yet, his thumb resting on the crossguard.

The purse-snatcher turned to the left, requiring that Wei cross Kaya's path. Instead, he dropped back, veering through the crowd, stepping up on to a bench, then onto its back, and jumping over several people and dropping in to a roll. He unfolded into a track starting position and took off, now a bit behind the young woman.

"DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND I WANT TO SNAP HIS ARMS TOO!" yelled Torako, taking off with her. Torako didn't even notice Wei, as she trailed Kaya, taking pursuit of the snatcher as well.

Well, it seems that someone else has joined in the pursuit of justice. Kaya gave the man a nod as he passed by.

Now, the purse snatcher was just out of reach.

Closer...

Closer...

Upon closing the distance, Kaya then performed a jump-kick at the culprit, resulting in her sliding on the person. Aiming for a nearby wall, Kaya ended up surfing the person's face into concrete.

Grabbing the purse, Kaya checked for the contents before nodding over at Wei and Torako.
"Everything's in there as far as I can tell. Let's get this back to the owner."
