He enters one of the halls.
"Most of the bedrooms are on this side. I dunno if you're planning to sleep here or if you have a place of your own, but we have a lot of vacant beds so you can always choose.", he says as he gestures to the doors. He then walks around the corner, waiting for Majima to catch up before continuing.
"On the end of this hallway is the treasure room. Turns out those guys did some robbing and treasure hunting before I got back. They've amassed an impressive amount of loot, I'll admit. You can go check that out whenever you want."
He stops at a door to the right and opens it, revealing the biggest room yet. And to be honest, it may be something to Majima's liking considering what he'll see.
"And this is the lounge room. Or recreational room, or whatever you prefer to call it.", Tahn smiles. "There's some comfy seats here, tables, a jukebox and radio, some places to keep food and drinks like that mini-fridge over there, and those three idiots seem to have finished putting up the pool table too."
He approaches said pool table, inspecting it.
"They actually did a pretty good job."
He then gestures to an open part of the room that has nothing in it. He seems to ponder.
"I wanna put something there too, but I can't quite think of anything yet."
Majima's experience would probably instantly tell him that the available space and placing would make this a perfect spot for a karaoke stage. Given that Ken Tahn likes to sing, it's doubtful that he'll be against the idea.
"But so far this is probably one of the coziest places I've owned yet. Not the coziest, but hopefully this one will last longer than that one."
Suddenly, one of the bandits appears at the doorway, looking out of breath.
"H-hey! Hey... ", he wheezes, breathing heavily. Ken Tahn turns to look.
"What?"
"Someone... someone's here askin' for you, boss."
"... wait, for me?", Ken Tahn asks, shocked. "So Pseudo Porky did send cops after me! They already found me, even with this new look!?"
"No... the other boss.", the bandit says, pointing at Majima. Ken Tahn pauses, then looks at him.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.As they go along, Majima just nods and makes affirmative grunts until they get to the empty space.
"A karaoke stage would -" he begins to say, before the bandit interrupts him.
"... For me?"
Majima heads back upstairs, peeks out of the supply closet, and suddenly pulls back. What could make him react with such shock...?
Oh, no. That's not it at all. He's excited. This can only end poorly.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Ken Tahn quickly follows him. If there's going to be trouble, he has to be there to try to de-escalate the situation. Plus, seeing a kid trying to break up people about to fight would increase the chance that some of the guests would step up as well, meaning it'd be more likely that they'd either stop fighting or would take the fight outside. Either way, the bar wouldn't get damaged.
The bandit goes along too. His orders are to be upstairs, after all.
They pass by TK Bakura, who gives the bandit an annoyed glare. Seems he was either startled or the door might've hit him as the bandit hurried through. The bandit just smiles sheepishly.
Tahn pauses when Majima pulls back and begins to fear for the worst. He's a yakuza, right? Could it be some rival gang? Or some never-before-mentioned superior yakuza person who's come to take control of the bar? Someone like that probably wouldn't care much for Tahn and the others. He pinches his nose and sighs nervously, not immediately noticing that Majima's gone from shock to excitement.
"Please, please, anything but a fight or take-over. Or the cops. Anything else is fine."
... he would probably come to regret those words in a moment.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Stepping out of the closet, Majima and anyone behind him sees a man standing in the bar, just past the main entrance door.
"Majima no nii-san..."
DUN, DUN...
DUN, DUN...
DU-DU-DUN, DUN...
DUN, DUN...
Rolling eyes fall... (Receive You Reborn - Yakuza Kiwami)
"So... you finally found your way here," Majima says, remaining dour.
Until his face splits into a maniacal grin and his voice rises at least three octaves. "KIIIIIRYU-CHAAAAAN!"

The whole other thing i sensed is something i've never really seen before. So do you mind telling me how that uh, works?" Emma asks semi-awkwardly, genuinely confused by how technomagic works and thanks to something else.

realW774 takes his hand and swats away the sword-shaped projectiles that come towards him. When they finish, he looks at his hand, and finds it riddled with small but definitely noticeable cuts.
"You- how did you do that!? I am invincible! And I'm not just saying that because I'm egotistical!"
W774 clenches his hand into a fist.
"Alright, no! I'm done, I've had enough of all of you! I'm going to smash this entire stupid continent into dust and maybe there'll be enough left of the stupid bird to salvage!"
W774's aura flares up, further and further, a pink maelstrom stretching into the sky and beginning to outshine the sun with its own furious glow- but before it can get any further than that, W774 darts his hands to both sides of his head, and he keels over in pain, his aura fading away.
"I was told-" W774 hisses in pain, before continuing, "I was told this place was weird and fucked up, but- what is wrong with this fucking world? The whole thing's so chaotic, I can barely- barely- urgh!"
W774 lets go of his head. "I'm going to crush all of you, starting with- and where the hell did the horned lady go any-"
"Kaioken!"
W774 looks up-
"Kaio-what?"

Again, Edelgard's foot strikes W774 in the head- but this time to far more success than the last. With his aura faded and her power roughly doubled, the attack is much more effective! He falls to the ground so forcefully he leaves a sizable crater in his wake.

Sanji prepares his seared salmon sushi. There's a tough time limit, but he goes through the motion well by preparing in advance. He soaks the salmon in sake before slicing it and the green onion into very thin strips.
Then, he puts them in a pan so hot, it's almost smoking, and spends one minute preparing the rice into Nigiri. For that purpose, he picks from several gathered bowl of rices, which is where he also places the salmon after its done being cooked, seared almost, by the pan.
He spreads a little wasabi on the nigiri, then put up the sushi on top with the seared side up, topping it with spring onions and a little black pepper. The soy sauce, lemon sauce and mirin is combined together to form a dipping sauce, put to the side with the wasabi and spring onion before he brings the meal to be judged

Eleven leans out of the way and try grabbing Katre's leg to smack her down to the ground like a mace first, before trying to swing her around to better toss her into the water attack thrown her way.

After a slight pause though, he pops back out and laughs... before he starts returning the favor, conjuring up a whole array of snowballs himself that he sends flying towards Glacies and her wall.
Ken Tahn is actually startled when Majima lets out his signature 'greeting', almost jumping. Somehow the bandits, while surprised, aren't as startled.
"Holy crap.", he mutters to himself before staring at Majima for a bit. Afterwards, he peeks out from behind Majima to look at Kiryu, eyeing him curiously.
"... W-wait, is this the guy you were talking about?"
"I should probably not tell him that a part of me believed this Kiryu guy wasn't actually real.", he thinks to himself.

Cyber-Refia rubs the back of her head awkwardly, averting her gaze. "... Don't panic when I tell you this, but I'm, uh... a demon."
"That's him, alright. And what are you doing here, Kiryu-chan?"
"I came to get a drink."
"Sure, sure. Will that be paid in money or in throwing hands?"
Oh shit. Barfight.
Kiryu cracks a wry smile. "Even in this strange world, you're the same old Majima-no-nii-san. But no. Money will do."
"Nuts."
Katre avoids the attempted grab, giving Slimy a quick thumbs-up before creating an explosion behind Eleven while the latter is being pushed, trying to launch the Sibling towards her for a clothesline!
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Oh thank god this guy's a reasonable one.", Tahn thinks to himself when Kiryu isn't up for a barfight.
"Majima owns the place now, but I hope that they do their fighting outside if this Kiryu guy changes his mind."
Tahn then slips in front of Majima, showing Kiryu a pleasant smile.
"I'll get you your drink right away, mister Kiryu. What would you like?"
Nanana may see Anna

◊ as they're on their way to pay a visit to Fort Danwguard.
With all due respect, we did it! Sanji does a thumb-up at Tonio's way, out of respect for a fellow cook, and then bask in the general admiration of things.
...
Eleven is launched forward, but attempts to turn Katre's gambit against herself by aiding her launching via a tap of the ground. She then attempts to hit Katre with a stronger clothesline of her own, withstanding her "mom"'s own blow and attempting to overpower and hurl her back at a great distance.
Then, she decides to swing things up and create a single pink orb unto her orb. Using her Super-Senses, she attempts to see where Katre is, and compress the orb into the palm of her hand, right as another pink orb attempts to appear around Katre. If she lets it happen, then she'll be instantly teleported to Eleven, who attempts to punch her in the face with her closed hand.
Regardless of the success of the manoeuver, Eleven creates two pink discs and yeet them at Katre. They appear to be doing... weird things to the air. Getting hit by them will show why: these disks don't cut insofar as they push the space around them out of the way. Not only does this means bad things for one's flesh and health if hit, but the space reforms behind the disk, in a slightly unstable manner that would compress any hapless goon trapped within. Like being torn in half by a claw, but much worse. It's also an invisible process, but there's a "whoop" sound whenever it happens, along with the air "snapping" to form a shockwave before settling back to normal.
If Katre uses her power though, the disks can be shattered on impact, and the spatial reconvergence will just be ignored entirely.
...
Nanana looks down and notices Anna and Jake, deciding to be stealthy and feeling in need of a nap again, she attempts to sneak into their wagon.
She does so by just retracting her wings into her flesh and dropping into their wagon from above, somehow expecting them not to notice. Then, she just lays down and begins snoozing. If one has good hearing, they'll even see that she fell asleep mid-flight, being completely confident in her gambit.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"Just a whiskey sour, thanks."
Majima bows and goes to make it himself, while Kiryu sits and looks at Tahn in silent contemplation.
Katre ducks under the return clothesline, but when Eleven starts using her power, the fourth Sister looks around in utter bafflement, before getting hit by... well, everything. She goes reeling back minus one arm, but casually picks it up and reattaches it. "Hm. Not bad."
She leaps at Eleven with a kick to send her flying, then launches herself with an explosion to catch Eleven in midair with another kick to send her further! Then she launches herself again with a punch, bursting forth again and again to try and drag Eleven higher and higher, before going for a face grab and doing a spinning slam all the way into the ground!
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Tahn's surprised when Majima goes to make the drink, but they do know each other and Majima's the boss in this part, so he doesn't object to it.
He then notices Kiryu continuing to look at him though. Curious himself, he goes to sit on a chair close to him and smiles as he gets ready to try to get some information in his usual non-suspicious way.
"I hope you're having a good time, mister Kiryu.", he says, kicking his feet around a little. "How do you and mister Majima-san know each other?"
Unfortunately for her, Anna's senses are way too keen to not notice something like that. Guess it's because she's mastered the Thief Class a long time ago. She turns around to look into the wagon and finds Nanana sleeping there.
Instead of waking her up and demanding answers though, she silently lets Jake see her too, then does some sign language (as to not wake her up) that roughly translates to this:
"Do you know who that is?"
Jake does the same.
"No, I've never seen her before. What do we do?"
"She doesn't seem to have taken anything, and she doesn't strike me as a thief. We can bring her along and keep an eye on her just in case I'm wrong."
She then points to the path forward before continuing.
"If she's still asleep by the time we get to the fort, we can ask them if they know who she is."
"And if they don't?"
"Then we wait for her to wake up and we'll ask her ourselves."
Jake accepts that idea. As such they continue onward to Fort Dawnguard, with Anna keeping her eyes on Nanana.
"Something about her feels somewhat familiar.", she thinks to herself.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Kiryu sets his suspicions aside for the time being to chat. "Majima and I crossed paths for the first time in 1988. We had both entered a world of cutthroat business and treacherous superiors in the yakuza, and just emerged on top, but changed. But by then I was already a living legend. 'Dojima no Ryuu', I was called. The Dragon of Dojima. Majima was well-known, but far less so than me."
Majima arrives with the drink. "I went out to find him on my own just 'cause. I even coined that 'Kiryu-chan' on the spot just looking at 'im! I mean, who in their right mind would attach chan to someone that manly?"
"Clearly, you."
"I don't recall sayin' I was in my right mind!"
Edited by KiriK on Jan 12th 2022 at 3:46:19 AM
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Oh, so you're a Yakuza too?", Tahn asks. No sense in hiding that he knows what that is even when he's pretending to be a regular kid, nobody would believe that he doesn't know when he's been around Majima.
He then can't help but genuinely snicker when Majima explains his reasons for Kiryu's nickname.
"You make no sense sometimes, mister Majima-san.", he says, amused. He then looks back at Kiryu.
"But huh, a living legend? That's so cool! I wonder if I'll be as known as you one day."
He then raises his hand.
"Oh, sorry! My name is Nelson. Nice to meet you, mister Kiryu!"
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Eleven is hit by Katre and sent forward, but calmly blocks the next strikes, or as calmly as she can with that frown on her face. She starts to manifest a pink orb once more, but then seems to have a realization and it fades away before she can try to put it to use.
I feel like I shouldn't be struggling with you if I want to beat up all the Number Nine scattered across the place! She attempts to swat Katre's hand away, before attempting to kick her in the stomach to hurl her down. Then, she acrobatically flip around while falling to kick the air and descend faster. To go even swifter, she erects a pink orb all around herself, but not Katre, and shift space to move at absurd speed within the orb.
Once there, she attempts to bury her fist into Katre's guts and sends her rocketing to the ground with a powerful punch. And if that works, then Eleven spins in mid-air and attempts to finish it off with an elbow drop that significantly damage her surroundings.
Regardless of what happens, though, Eleven jumps out of the smoke, having picked up a bunch of rocks along the way.

Nanana's eyes snap open, with a dull look to them, and she emerges from her position slowly to look around, lifting her entire torso up while her lower body remains immobile. Then, she puts on a smile, and casually lean into one of the wagon's sides, in-between Anna and Jake.
Hi! Where are we going? I'm Nanana!

If Anna hadn't been sure that Nanana was genuinely asleep, she'd wonder if she purposely timed that.
"I see someone's awake.", Jake chuckles as he looks at her. Anna quickly composes herself again.
"I'm Anna, and this is my fiancee Jake.", she says.
"We're traveling merchants, and we're currently headed towards Fort Dawnguard to pay a visit to some friends of ours."

She leans back against some items, then decide not to, since gold isn't good for one's back.
I met Cecil though. He did great bread! You could do a... mrngh... parternship with him to sell bread? He was nice. He sometimes got a bit angry but I think he was irritated by these floating eyeball beasts.

Pietro is currently walking through the Pizzaplex, looking around as he explores the place where Gregory and Glamrock Freddy had defeated Rodney.
"I know there's a really good chance this place is connected to Springtrap and his screwed-up dad and that Charlie girl, but damn if it doesn't seem like a fun place to hang out sometime. Maybe Loki could use it to get Ninten to finally stop calling him a rockstar."
Coming to a stop at Roxy's Green Room, he leans back against the window and checks his phone.
"Anyway, Thor and Loki said this alternate Ness calling himself Varik knows Reyna pretty well. Once I'm done here, I'll check and make sure he hasn't gotten himself dragged into any monster hunts."
Kiryu awkwardly looks at Tahn's upraised hand, unsure if he's just gesturing or offering a handshake. He hesitantly goes for the handshake regardless. "... If you're working with Majima-san, it's highly unlikely you're a normal kid. Regardless, it's good to meet you. I'm Kazuma Kiryu, but I assume you already knew that."
Despite her best efforts, Katre falls victim to the reversal and gets slammed down in Eleven's place. She starts to push herself up, but Deut teleports in. "That's enough! Fight any harder and you'll cause a greater problem!"
"Did I say... I was done yet?" Katre growls through ragged breaths.

"I think you have me confused for one of my many sisters, Nanana. Jake and I have known each other since childhood. ... I don't think I know any Cecils either."
