Here is the draft on how (some) women in society act in "IS:What lies in shadows" along with some Tatenashi and Irish humor.
Spoiler:
Location: Shopping mall
POV:"Irish"
'Damn that Sarashiki, can't believe she managed to make me come with her.'
"Hey! Hurry up Irish-kun!" she yelled to me.
'Wonder if I'll get a new partner if she gets caught in an "accident".'
Choosing to put those thoughts on the back of my head (I didn't want to risk losing my shot at freedom just yet) I chose to follow her to whatever store she was going to.
Time skip: 30 minutes later
"...Hey"
"What, is something wrong?"
"We've walked past all the shops for food and supplies earlier already"
"What's your point?" She said as she stopped walking and turned to look at me.
"I thought you were shopping for necessities? We already passed all the shops that sell those"
"I didn't say I was gonna go grocery shopping" she said with a smirk on her face (Uh-oh). "Besides, food isn't the only necessity we'll need you know"
'Speak for yourself, it's what keeps you alert to possible attacks'
"Then where ARE we going then?"
"Hehe, you'll see" she said with a smile.
With a sudden bounce to her step she started to walk again towards whatever shop she was going to.
'I have a feeling I'm walking right into an ambush'
Time skip: 10 minutes later.
"We're here"
Looking up I saw that we had stopped in front of a clothing store.
"Why do you need more clothes? Don't you wear your uniform most days anyway?"
"You'll find out later, lets just go inside"
Walking inside the store I felt my heart nearly stop at what I saw inside.
"What's wrong? why'd you stop?" I hear her say from inside the store.
There, right in front of me, were rows upon rows filled with women's garments along with multiple people moving to and from the fitting rooms.
'Thats it! she's gonna get an "accident" later!'
"Hey! stop getting ecchi thoughts and hurry up!"
"I'm not going in there" I say as I stand outside of the door.
"Yes you are, I have to take you with me or command's gonna go ballistic"
"Should've thought of that before you decided to go underwear shopping"
"Hurry up already, I don't wanna have to drag you in here"
'Lets see here: I either be reasonable and go in with her to that damned shop or I run away and not die of a heart attack. Decisions decisions.'
"I'm outta here"
With a running start I turned my back towards her and ran as fast as I could away from the dreaded location.
'I don't care if I stay in a prison cell, I'd rather be there than risk going into THAT hellhole.' I thought as I continued to run.
*CRASH*
Without realizing It, I had crashed into somebody.
"...Sorry" I mumbled as I got up from the person.
"You should be! I can't believe one of you actually touched me" A shrill voice cried out.
Looking in front of me I saw a woman who looked to be in her late teens to early twenties sprawled out on the floor.
'What the hell's her problem?'
Choosing to avoid having to talk more to the woman altogether, I tried to turn and walk away.
"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something?" she said before I could walk away.
"What is it?"
"Apologize for what you did" She demanded as she stood up from the floor.
"I already did" I say as my voice gets more and more tense.
"Do it properly"
"What do you mean?"
"Get on your knees and beg" She said as if it was the most simplest thing in the world.
"Go to hell, I'm not gonna bow down to you"
"If you don't, I'll call the police" She said with a sadistic smile on her face. "What do you think they'll do if I told them you assaulted me?"
"There are people all over here, they wouldn't believe you"
"Who do you think they'll believe? The men here will probably vouch for you but the police won't take they're words over mine"
'She's right, no way out of this now. Guess I have no choice then'
Without any other choice I kneeled down on the floor and bowed my head in apology.
"I'm.....sorry" I force myself to say through gritted teeth.
"You should be you little pest"
Without warning she started kicking me while I was on the floor.
‘Need to calm down, if I attack her I’ll just get in more trouble’
"You need to learn proper respect you DOG!"
Hearing the word dog had caused my anger to flare and before I knew what was happening I stood up and placed the knife I hid in my jacket against her throat.
"What are you doing!?" she asked in a panicked voice.
"A dog can bite back" was all I said to her question.
"FREEZE!"
Looking to my right I saw that a police officer had arrived at the scene and was pointing his gun at me.
"Put the weapon down, and step away from the woman" he said with his gun trained on me.
...
Letting go of the woman, I dropped the knife to the ground and put my hands up in surrender.
Time skip:20 minutes later
I was placed under arrest for assault and about to be taken to the police station for questioning.
"EXCUSE ME!" A voice suddenly yelled.
The cop in front of me heard the call and turned around to look. Running towards us was a blue haired girl in an IS academy uniform.
'Sarashiki? What's she doing here?'
"I'm taking custody of that person"
Location: Cafe
Sarashiki had managed to (somehow) get me out of being arrested and led me to a cafe so we could talk.
"So, what happened?"
...
"Your gonna have to tell me sooner or later"
"I attacked someone"
"Why?"
"I bumped into someone and she made me go on my knees and apologize, then she started kicking me for good measure"
"You can't be impulsive anymore Irish. I know it's not easy, but you'll have to let these things slide from now on."
...
"I know it's not fair and that woman should've been the one who was arrested but things have changed and we have to adapt to it"
'Adapt? Easy for her to say, she's not the one who has to go through all this shit.'
"I need you to promise that you'll be careful from now on"
…
“Promise me”
"...I'll try my best"
"I'll have to accept that for now, come on we're not finished with the trip just yet"
Standing up, she led the way out of the Cafe.
"Where are we going?"
"Back to that store, and I'm making SURE this time that you’re not running away"
'I hate my life'
Please comment if the imbalance is a bit too strong or not. I'll tone it down if it's overboard. |
The woman would not escape that one if only Irish keep silent and not using that knife (it's really a physical assault), but since he used it anyway...you portrayed it the way I think about it.
Remember, most women aren't like that, and only 0.5% looked down on men (The Lingerie scene in Novel), and less than 0.001% is BITCHES (my and your fic portrayal). Make it just occasional, random occurrence. (Based on a Paper by Dan Gotanda, would be incorporated)
Tatenashi better not pressed him into drag further because that would be bad for her portrayal, better make sure the woman 'paid a good price' instead.
Except if Tatenashi made him cross-dressing AFTER punishing the woman for make her boytoy miserable, Irish unable to refuse because he owed Tatenashi
