Xiang Qi (1078) has posed:
    Zunhua China -- or at least this version of it -- was experiencing a pleasant enough day, with bright light filtering through puffy clouds overhead. Unlike some more urban areas of China, the air of Zunhua wasn't clogged by thick clouds of smog, so even the air was pleasant -- if a bit warm. The city itself was fairly large, with tall buildings easily visible from the outskirts, and a bustling populace going about their business...

     It was just outside of the city where one would have been able to find Qi, looking decidedly... bored, as she followed a short Chinese man in an expensive suit -- some sort of politician, by the look of him, speaking with several other politicians, with cameras off to the side, ready to start recording the man and his entourage of snappily dressed men and women -- and the one oddly dressed bored woman.

    The streets were, for the most part, clear. Though every now and then a curious onlooker or two crossed to the other side to see what was going on.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa needed to get out she'd been busy quite a bit here and there about the multivese and she'd picked a location almost at random. She was clad in somewhat strange clothing really but nothing that might be out of relm of possiblity of what fashion might do but certainly she was odd and the woman was also clearly at least by appears Japanese from the looks of her. She'd been moving along the city, checking out one thing or another as se goes. She pauses though noticing there's not very many people going on here and she's now watching the group that is coming by with intrest it seems she's wandered into something.

Xiang Qi (1078) has posed:
    The man that Qi had been following -- clearly some important person, compared with the other people present at this event -- steps up onto the stage, standing in front of a standing microphone, "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." The man begins, "In light of the recent confusion surrounding the sudden state that we've found our world in, this whole 'unification' situation, that is. I have no doubts that many of you are confused and worried. I'm sure some of you wonder what the government, as it stands now, plans to do about it. Rest assured that we've taken action in ensuring that our nation is well protected against foreign invasion."

    Several people in the crowd talk amongst themselves as the man continues, "I'd like to introduce you to the first step in our plans to make China as defensible as possible. Our President has invoked an ancient agreement between our ancestors and the spirit world to give us a viable defender in the face of potential multiversal threats." The man gestures toward Qi, who until just a moment ago seemed distracted. Now she perks up and looks out at the crowd, raising a hand in a wave. "This is Xiang Qi. I am assured that she is quite a capable warrior, and will be here to support our defense should we find ourselves in a situation that our military forces cannot handle on their own."

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
A New world that had unified? Well this may have become a first contact mission from the looks of it. Kotone just sits back a bit and listens and she listens for a moment as they talk about protecting their nation? She wonders how much of this is confidence, do they have a plan? Or are they legitly just trying to prevent a panic. What ever the reasion she listnes then pauses as it seems yes the Government /does/ have some aces in the hole? This is good, She might stand out a bit and maybe she might even sense off given her nature. Some have mistakenly in the past thought Kotone's soul was forcably bound to a construct. She does take a long moment to size up the strange woman and get a feeling for the woman.

Xiang Qi (1078) has posed:
    It's not Qi that first notices Kotone, but the people around Kotone that notice her odd clothes... clothes that are certainly out of place around here. As a few people take note of her, they whisper to their neighbors... and several start to back away from her suspiciously. Had the invasions started already?!

    Qi, for the most part, appears to be utterly clueless, and woefully bored as the politician continues his speech unabated. But it's not long before even Qi can't help but notice the people backing away from the stranger among them. She perks up and takes a step forward... and then a smirk slowly crosses over her face. Already something to protect people from! She goes into a slight crouch, and LEAPS from the stage, practically flying over the crowd. She balls one hand into a fist as she starts to arc down towards the ground, finally reaching a bare spot of ground in front of Kotone, slamming into the concrete fist first, a spiderweb of cracks, followed by a buckling of concrete beneath her fist as she settles on the ground, "Hey! You one of those multiverse people that the stuffy guy on stage is worried about? Ya look different from everyone else." -- She's one to talk. "Like yer not from around here or somethin'" She grins as she stands up, slapping her fist into an open palm in an almost threatening manner that seems to contradict her otherwise pleasant expression.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa is not an invader really she was just wandering through the nework. She does however politely ignore the whispers also if someone gets a good look at her eyes there's something a little bit off on those as well. She doesn't seem hostile and she doesn't seem to be armed. She does see the people backing up and she seems to sigh a bit she wasn't looking or trouble but as Qi leaps? Kotone does react, but not in the way one might expect. She tracks Qi's leap figuring out she's not moving to attack her, but she also seems not to be /shocked/ by the leap either she does grin a bitthough.

"Nice landing, no I'm not. I'm also not looking for a fight. If I'd wished harm or trouble? I'd not have come to listen to what your leaders had to say.

"I came to check out the new warp gate connection. I needed to get out stretch my legs a bit you know?"

She looks Qi over a bit more.

"I was going to actually say? Your nations' leader getting you on the scene? Was a good and very wise idea. I'm Kotone Yamakawa and I'm from another Earth."

Oh this could turn into a fight sure but Kotone doesn't look like she's spoiling from one while not scared it's clear she knows Qi isn't someone to idly pick a fight with.

Xiang Qi (1078) has posed:
    Qi gives a little bit of a pout when Kotone says she's not there for a fight, "Aww, well that's too bad. Seems like that's what they brought me back to do, but so far, I haven't had much fighting." She huffs, "And nobody 'round here seems to be interested in a good fight either." She looks at the crowd... then notices that the crowd of people is still watching them. "Oh, uh... Guess I made kind of a scene, huh." She turns around, "It's okay! She's not a monster or whatever." Qi gives a wave, then turns back to Kotone again, "Look, probably best that we not sit here and chat. I think that the guy up there wants to finish his speech... and I don't know of these other people really want strangers around."

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa see sthat Xiang Qi does seem a bit sad that she's not going to get a fight.

"Fair enough, if you want me to leave I'll be willing to leav, and I'll let him finish his speech."

She pauyses bowing slightly passing a small card to Xiang Qi.

"This had contact for the Union an multiversal alliance of a number of worlds. You should likely give it to you leaders. It might be of use for them feeling out the multiverse but you'll need to get used to straner. You can't keep the multiverse out in the end only learn how to deal with it."

She gives the location od the gate.

"You'd likely want to post a guard detail there, and be ready for anything."

She bows slightly and will start to move towards a strangly sleek motor cycle a bit down the road.
