Niwa's Recent News
  • 19 April 2015 -- Niwa is under new management!

    Niwa is now under new management as we strive to stand up the the standards of fun and entertaining roleplaying we have so far provided here at Niwa. Today makes the start of a campaign to bring in new members as Head Admin Akaiken and Support Admin Sparky work together to improve and uphold the current face of Niwa and keep us all moving forward!

They said this was a city for our kind, they said it was a safe haven from the rest of the world. This was suppose to be the city where we where safe from regular humans. But, in a city where Meta-Humans run rampant, is there such thing as safety? When taking what you want is as simple as waving your hand, or closing your eyes, how can there be law? In this city, the truth is there is only one source of law, and that are the different criminal organizations that have formed all around us. The only order is that of the darkest part of humanity, of criminal organizations where the strong thrive while the weak gasp for air. This is Niwa Nights.. This is our home.

Can you survive it?

It had been a rough night for Mariko. Her work, while never tedious, was a little tiring; demands for repeat performances, lechers that tried to break the "don't touch the merchandise" rule, and so on. This had been one of those nights, where everything seemed to happen at once, and yet the time dragged on like a fatigued slug. Normally, Mariko would simply try to shrug it off and relax on her own time. But, she overheard a few of her coworkers talking about some massage place at the Fudo Center. And though she wasn't likely to openly admit it, the thought of having all the tension pent up in her muscles massaged away was pretty tempting.

So she headed downtown when she had the time to find the place. She was dressed warmly: long dark pants, faux fur boots, and a thick, black winter coat to fend off the chill of the brisk weather. Downtown Niwa was busy, as it mostly always was. It made Mariko grateful that she had such a degree of control over her own psychic powers that she could choose whose minds she linked into; having a thousand thoughts that didn't belong to her buzzing in her head all of the time would have been maddening. She couldn't comprehend how other mind-readers, those that heard others' thoughts 24/7, ever coped with it.

She continued on towards the Fudo Center. Anyone that attempted to make small talk with her along the way would end up being ignored. Being mute, she couldn't just utter a quick response in return; and abruptly linking in to someone's mind send a brief reply would be generally ineffective. A fleeting voice in one's head would more than likely be written off by the person as their own imagination, and Mariko didn't care to stop and explain things. So she ignored those that liked small talk. She didn't care if she came off as rude - she only bothered to communicate when there was an actual conversation to be had.

Eventually, she arrived at the Fudo Center, and started looking around for the supposed massage salon. It didn't take long for her to find it, for the sign pretty much gave it away. Her typical emotionless expression gave way to the slightest of smiles as she saw that it was open. She opened the door and headed inside, looking forward for a little time to unwind. Upon stepping inside, she looked around with her light silvery eyes, taking in the sight of the place and the people in it.

It was just like every other day for Alex as he finished up with his hopefully last class of the day. He could only take so much of the younger women fawning over him like giddy schoolgirls. Surely there was more to his day than having all these young women who just come here to look at him while he teaches. He liked when he could just ignore them when he got people who wanted massages in because he usually just controlled what they were feeling. With his yoga classes he had to deal with all the women having those feelings of love and the like. Of coarse they were attractive and stuff but they weren't what he was looking for. They were only interested in his handsome face and toned body. At least it was over for now.

As Mariko would enter she would be in the big lobby that showed off how big the place actually was and beautifully decorated modern style building. There were multiple glass rooms with yoga equipment in them and a hallway with closed doors on the far right of the building. The lobby had a front desk with a young woman sitting at it and the waiting area with different types of magazines for people to look at as they waited for whatever it was they were here for. When she arrived she would notice a large group of women walking towards the front door having just got out of the class and talking about their instructor and how they loved coming there to see him. There thoughts would be of how good looking he was and how there should be more of him.

Alex exited one of the rooms a little further back in his yoga attire which consisted of a form fitting white shirt and black pants. He noticed someone standing in the lobby who wasn't in his class and if she had an appointment he would be reminded but as far as he knew he had no such appointment. He walked up to the woman. "Excuse me is there something I can help you with?" He smiled genuinely being the nice guy that he was enjoying the sight of this beautiful young woman standing in the lobby. Which was the norm for him all day it seemed but this one seemed not to have the normal mind set as the others or at least it didn't look that way.

Out of mere curiosity, Mariko skimmed the minds of the girls heading out the front door, and almost immediately got the urge to roll her eyes, which she resisted. While she understood their fawning over a good-looking guy - hell, she used to be the same way when she was a teenager - but now that just seemed so... immature. Mariko hardly paid attention to a guy's looks anymore. But then again, she hadn't really seen anyone in a romantic way since that incident.

Aside from that, she found herself actually impressed with the interior decoration of the place. It was obvious that this was a quality place of relaxation. Mariko herself wasn't exactly sure what she had been expecting, but what she saw certainly blew her expectations out of the water.

She recognized Alex the moment she spotted him, having caught glimpses in the girls' thoughts; honestly, it hadn't been too hard to pick up on what he looked like when they were swooning inside about how good-looking he was. And she wasn't about to deny that he was indeed attractive, but it was going to take more than that to get her attracted to him. Physical appearances meant little to her now.

Either way, she gave a polite smile when he addressed her. And, knowing that she'd have to communicate in order to tell him what she wanted, she linked into his mind. She nudged his consciousness with her mental presence gently to get his attention before she spoke through telepathy.

Yes, I came here because I'd like a massage, she told him matter-of-factly. There was no beating around the bush, no niceties. Straight to the point. While she tried to be polite enough, she simply didn't see the point in unnecessary conversation. She thought slightly differently on that with friends, but those were few and far in between at the moment.

Alex felt a minor ping in his head before he heard that she was their for a massage. she didn't move her lips or change anything about her face. She had to be a meta-human which apparently this city was full of but as long as they didn't use their gifts to hurt him Alex wouldn't treat them an differently. It seemed like this woman was some sort of telepath. He had to watch what he thought about around her. He just went along with his normal business as usual. "Well the name is Alex and I own this wonderful place where I can guarantee that you will have a great relaxing time here. When you leave you will feel refreshed and the stress will be less." He smiled as he continued. "Right this way ma'am the rooms to the right is where we will be heading."

When they got to the room it was rather extravagant with the massage table right in the middle of the room ready to be used. There was wall décor that was pretty modern to what was normally in an establishment such as this. Relaxing music was softly playing that filled the room with the warmth of comfort. There was a small privacy screen in the corner of the room to undress behind and next to it was a freshly pressed white robe. There were three different areas that had incense burning the aroma throughout the room smelled of orange blossoms. On the counter near the incense were multiple bottles of different oils that can be used. There was also a counter behind the screen for people to put their cloths onto. It was an overall relaxing atmosphere at least to most. "If you want a different scent we have multiple ones from you to choose from. Anything to make you more comfortable during your stay. You can change behind the screen and there is a robe for you to change into."

Though it was a small thing, in the back of her mind Mariko was grateful that he received her telepathy so well. While this city was indeed populated with many a meta-human, and such abilities were typically taken for granted, there were still a handful of people that would overreact to suddenly hearing a voice in her head. Namely those that didn't stop to reason that the mental voice was hers, and went off on wild tangents or drew irrational conclusions.

She nodded in acknowledgement to what Alex said before she responded, still maintaining a polite expression - which was how she was most of the time when interacting with people, polite yet inwardly aloof. I'm Mariko. After another quick glance around at the impressive lobby, she added, And this is a nice place indeed, Alex. As she followed him towards the rooms, she idly wondered to herself if he felt strange at all speaking out loud to a mute who communicated through telepathy. Some she'd spoken with in the past, mainly in public, had had such complaints. They were vain, though. Worrying what others thought about them, fretting about every action seen in the public eye.

Upon reaching the room, Mariko could practically feel the relaxing atmosphere of the place permeating the air. She looked around, again noting the tasteful décor. She looked to Alex when he spoke, ensuring that he knew she was listening; she had learned quite some time ago that body language made all the difference now with her. Sometimes her mental voice didn't convey tone as well as that which is audible. Or perhaps she had simply forgotten how to convey emotion like she used to. Either way, she said to Alex, Thank you before she headed to the corner of the room where the privacy screen was.

Given her occupation, she wasn't abashed or embarrassed in the least about undressing with others in the room, with or without a privacy screen. But out of respect, she went to change behind the screen anyway. Off came the winter clothing, and it was actually somewhat of a relief to her to have that heavy clothing off her back, so to speak. She glanced at the scars that marred her fair skin, but otherwise gave little thought to them as she reached for the white robe, grabbed it and slid it onto her slender frame. Once the robe was on, she stepped out from behind the screen, turning her silvery gaze towards Alex once more.

"Its nice to meet you Mariko." He was always pleasant when dealing with people it would be rude not to. She had a pretty name which matched her pretty stature. He was able to overlook talking to someone who only spoke with her mind which he thought that she was mute or something. Either that or she wanted to mess with him. He wouldn't treat her any differently than someone else.

"Thank you I take great pride in making this place what it is today." He liked this girl she liked the interior design which he did himself and its nice to be praised for it. She seemed to be happy with the overall feel of the room because she was already feeling relaxed which he picked up on right away. It should be an easy thing he may not even have to use his gift with her being so relaxed already. It would be the first time not using his gift if he decided too.

He waited as she went behind the privacy screen to change out of her cloths. He whistled a nice melody while waiting for her to return in the robe. When she emerged he motioned towards the table. "Ok I will turn around as you get onto the table laying on your stomach without the robe or at least with it unfastened so I can move it when I need. I give two options because a lot of women don't like to reveal themselves to strangers." He was his gentle self as he spoke. "it would obviously take longer if I have to work around the robe but its no additional charge of coarse. Its all about what your comfortable with." He didn't know if she was comfortable taking her robe off around him or not but it wouldn't matter any other way. He was going to give her a wonderful massage and hopefully turn her into a regular customer. Maybe depending on how it went might have a new interesting person to meet up with from time to time.

Mariko held back a laugh, even though it would have been silent either way. Most women didn't like revealing themselves to strangers indeed - but she was no ordinary woman. She revealed herself to strangers on a regular basis, for money. Not that Alex knew that. While she'd linked in to be able to communicate, he only had access to the thoughts she wanted him to hear or see. And to be fair, she wouldn't pry into his thoughts; although, if she just so happened to overhear something...

Already, she was unfastening her robe as she walked to the table. She waited a moment for him to turn around before she got onto the table, letting the robe slide off of her form as she lied down on her stomach. Instead of fully linking in to say something this time, she simply gave another mental nudge to let him know that she had done as requested.

Whenever Alex turned back around, perhaps the first thing he would notice, aside from the obvious aspects, would be the scars across her back and arms. Multiple, criss-crossing lines among small patches of healed burns. They were faint, having healed well, but still quite visible. She wasn't self-conscious about these scars at all, even though one wouldn't see them on her at work due to some concealing body makeup - but that had been at the demand of her boss. She mused to herself about how she could have made the manager simply disregard the issue, but had ultimately decided that it was simpler to comply. Agreeing always made things simpler, and simpler was good... most of the time.

Alex had his back to the woman as she took her robe off and laid down on the table. He knew when to turn around because he felt a nudge in the back of his head so he turned around. He right away noticed the scars and the like along her back but she was still an attractive woman. He wasn't one to care what scarring was on a person it only added character and this one looked like she was a strong woman being able to take what she did to take what she had. He moved over and picked the robe up draping it over a chair in the room that was close by.

He decided to start where he started with most people. He started massaging her shoulders making sure to get in between the shoulder blades getting all the points of stress. He then began to lightly pour emotion through his hands to make her feel probably the most relaxed she has ever been in a long time. At least that's how most people reacted to his massages. His gift combined with his natural talent to give massages would feel heavenly. "So I am guessing that you are some kind of psychic or something considering you talk through the mind. It is quite the ability." It was quite the ability indeed and he wondered if she could really read his mind. I wonder if it can work the other way around with me thinking he thought to himself and waited for an answer to both his physical and mental question.

Mariko could feel it almost immediately; his hands working at the points where her muscles were the tensest, beginning to ease that tension away. Then she felt his influence working to help her feel even more relaxed. She let out a silent sigh as all of the tension melted away almost instantly. The last time she was this relaxed... she couldn't even remember.

She was able to pick up on his meta abilities. She knew that they were there, and that was what was helping her feel so relaxed. It was fairly easy to distinguish meta from regular humans once she linked into their mind if she had the desire to know such information; it was obvious once a meta started using their abilities, even if it wasn't one so obvious such as pyromancy. Certain areas of the mind, in a meta's brain, were connected with their powers, and she always was able to sense whenever those areas were present and/or being used. But of course, this particular power was doing no harm - and she was feeling too relaxed to care, anyway.

When Alex mentioned her being 'some kind of psychic,' she opened her eyes, which had been closed as she relaxed, and turned her head slightly to look in his direction. Yeah, you could say that, she thought to him, her lips quirking up into a little smile. That smile grew somewhat as she heard his thought wondering if she could read minds. And yes, it can work the other way around. I can hear your thoughts just as well as you can hear mine right now.

Well at least he now knew that she could read his thoughts which was both good and bad. On one hand he cant think the normal way when he has a naked woman laying on the table especially someone so attractive. Scars or not she was quite beautiful. He continued to massage her shoulders his fingers working majic on their own he just used his gift in order to make her more relaxed surely she knows what he can do considering she can read his mind. He hoped she didn't go too deep into his mind.

"So what is it you do for work? I hope I'm not being too intrusive I'm just trying to make small talk I find that's its better for the customer in order to make them feel better as I work. I like to talk about things but if you prefer I be quiet that works too." He would stop talking if she wanted but he did prefer to talk getting on a personal level with his clients.
