You're seated at a booth in a dive bar just outside of town. As you sip your beverage of choice, you see a pink-haired girl walk inside. Even with her long coat, newsboy cap, and pink sunglasses, you can tell she's very pretty. She even has a cute smile… with a little fang? Weird.

She sashays across the tiled floor, trying not to draw much attention. When she gets to your table, she pauses… then turns your way, walking over.

"Konbanwa! Um… 'is this seat taken?'" She pauses, giggling. "That's an American flirting sentence, yes? But seriously, may I join you? You seem alone and I am, too."

She speaks in a soft voice with an obvious Japanese accent. Still, she's trying. You listen to her quiet laughter as she politely awaits your answer.
