Description: What is the nature of a queen? Is she a prim and proper lady, elegant and poised? Is she a conquering storm, laying waste to those who oppose her imperious desires? Is she a ravenous witch who won't stop stuffing her face long enough to remember who her teammates are? We cast this question to the fates, and to the Gods of Scruffy Individuals Kick Down the Doors of Fancy Restaurants. It's not pretty, but it is entertaining.
Nothing better than foreign food in an expensive restaurant. Karin is sitting at a table on the outside of the restaurant, sipping on some hot tea during eating her expensive meal. A perfect lady, she definitely is. She sighs a little, "Looks like I have to just do more training again. Ken Masters just proved that I have a ways to go."
That could be Wing sitting there. She's sure of it.
"I'm telling you, asshole!"
If only these monkey-suit wearing goons would let her in the front door.
"Don't you know who I /am/!?"
The 'monkey-suit wearing goon' in question, which is to say the head waiter and sommelier, is reacting with grace and aplomb to the diminuitive Chinese girl's obvious threat of physical violence. He manages to lean slightly back, brow furrowed and nose lifted, and appear thoroughly disgusted without seeming intimidated in the slightest. "I am sure I do not know /what/ you are," he responds calmly, "but we are currently not seating guests without reservations." This is a smooth lie. "You will have to return another day, young... lady."
The small girl, her hands bunched into white-knuckled fists, glowers from underneath her upraised hoodie's hood. While the brand is expensive, clear evidence of her ill-gotten gains, it is stained and scuffed from constant use, and her cargo pants are baggy, her sneakers dirty and worn. She pulls the hood away from her face, and while her features might be elegant on another person, her unkempt hair and grimace of rage are highly undignified, to say the least. "Dammit," she shouts loud enough to be heard through the door, "I'm Wing Xiaoping, King of Fighters entrant! I'm one of the greatest fighters in the world! And I'm the Queen of these streets!" Whereupon, after this bold and ever-arguable claim, there is a loud *whump* and the front door flies off its hinges, the poor head waiter flung with it.
"Ha ha ha!" Cackling to herself, the teenage girl strolls through where the front door once stood, reveling in the horrified gazes of the elegant crowd, smirking hugely, an amused and vicious light dancing in her eyes. "Seat me!!"
Karin looks up as she hears the racket going on, and narrows her eyes, glaring a little at the chinese girl breaking and entering the restaurant, and takes a moment to sip her tea a little more. She tries to ignore the girl a little while more, before growling, and setting the tea down, "I've lost my appetite. -Ishizaki-." Her big butler who was standing nearby approaches Karin and acknowledges her, "Yes, Ojou-sama?"
Karin stands up and says, "My gloves." In response, Ishizaki opens up a nearby back and pulls out a pair of contact gloves, handing them to Karin, who takes them and puts them on, taking the time to walk over towards the entrance behind Wing, and says, "You have spoiled my appetite with your ruckus and now my expensive meal has gone to waste."
She tugs her gloves to make sure they fit tight, as she calls out, "Tell the manager that all damage to the restaurant will be reimbursed in full, the moment I clean up the trash."
COMBATSYS: Karin has started a fight here.

Karin 0/-------/-------|
Oh, no, don't encourage her.
Wing's feral grin only widens, in fact, as Karin rises and calmly challenges her, the diminuitive thugette's eyebrows lifting slightly as the blonde princess dons her gloves. "Who is /this/?" she chortles, radiating confidence from every pore. She's also radiating a slight stench, it's now apparent. That's what happens when you're trudging through alleys every night, blissfully 'training for King of Fighters' (beating up innocent people and taking their money / glorying in a cheap sense of power by intimidating homeless people). "Yet another clown who doesn't know who I am."
In fact, while Wing postures and exults in her ability to, well, have an effect on others (like real significance, but for insecure people), inside she begins to seethe as she is forced to notice that the girl in front of her seems to possess genuine elegance. "I'm the Queen of the Streets!" she shouts by way of explanation, as though in defiance of her adversary's royal poise. "And I'll pound into the pavement anyone who gets in my way!" She's gotten even more melodramatic than usual. Being on a team for a big-name tournament has started to get to her.
Either way, the little sociopath is good on her world. Her eyes bright with fury and a hunger for violence, she manages her approximation of an imperious smirk before, unable to contain herself, she bursts into another wolflike grin and hurls herself at her adversary. "Huuaahhh!" With startling agility, she whips into a series of spinning kicks, recklessly leaping at her opponent and putting all her strength into the blows.

Wing 0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0 Karin
Karin listens to Wing go on for a while before she lets out a laugh, "OHOHOHOHOHO! I knew I recognized common thug when I heard you screaming at the top of your lungs." She grins and says, "I'll have you know that I'm Karin Kanzuki, and I've never heard of you, so called 'queen of the street'. That said, you're closer to a Queen of the Gutter!"
With that, she shifts her stance, and she's more than ready to counter the girl when she comes at her with a series of unorthodox kicks. Completely thrown off by the pacing, Karin gets struck a a few times and sent staggering backward.
She grits her teeth for a moment, but retains her composure, saying, "Your style is unorthodox, that's for sure, but you've got no grace or balance. Even -that- girl fights better than you, your diminutive punk."
Wh- What--
"Why, you..."
Even though Wing struck home, she feels no satisfaction from the attack. When she lands, her eyes are narrowed and teeth clenched from the sting of Karin's words. Her quest for the noble girl's recognition seems futile from the outset, but Wing is hardly one to be dissuaded by utter futility, or even to notice it. For all her forays into being a manipulater herself recently, and her pretentions to being a power behind the throne on her King of Fighters team, the adversary she faces down now is precisely the sort of person to make her abandon all her hard-earned composure and presence of mind.
"I'm gonna tear your hair out by the roots!"
Yeah, there she goes.
Red-faced, little Wing lunges directly for Karin, literally plowing through a dinner table as she does so, sending glass and ceramics smashing to the ground as a shocking dining couple are forced to dive for cover. Cursing, Wing briefly seems a comical sight as she stumbles through a tablecloth that briefly envelops her, but she tears free to dive for her opponent.
"Rrraaghh!"
The girl's face a mask of rage once again, the so-called Queen of the Streets attempts to make good on her word, and grab Karin by her elaborately done-up hair, twist, and throw her to the ground, pulling viciously. Maybe it's a wig? If so, will wearing it make Wing more elegant? Let's try not to picture that image.

Wing 0/-------/----===|===----\-------\0 Karin
Vroom vroom goes the scooter. Man it's so cold for a scooter and the rider, who people ride scooters in the cold cold weather. Especially Naerose who doesn't really have winter clothes, cause lets face it. Less stylish. Also expensive. And they don't fit in your hat, and what the heck! She is window shopping and by that we mean staring at the interior of restaurants. So she notices a fight. She stops her bike. Parks. Freezing. Well the doormen already let the rabble in, they'll probably not even notice Naerose wandering in at this time. She watches a moment, scratches her head and says, "Huh, I think I might know that person." She shrugs to herself and just sort of settles into the nearest chair at a table unoccupied.. Karin's chair? Oh hey, free bread. Oh expensive bread. NOMNOMNOM
Karin smirks as she's finally figured out how to set the pace her way, and waits for Wing to rush for her hair, and catches the hands that come at her, before twisting and flipping the girl over, causing her to crash and burn as Karin sends the girl to the ground. "OHOHOHOHOHOHO! I've already told you who I am, haven't I? I'm Karin Kanzuki, of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu, and my style is Kanzuki-ryuu, and my motto is 'Victory In Everything'. If I let myself lose to a punk like you, I'd be an embarrassment!"
Meanwhile, Ishizaki watches the fight going for a little while, before blinking and noticing that someone has just occupied Karin's chair, and goes wide eyed, proceeding to protest, "OI! That's Karin-Ojou-sama's seat! You can't just take her meal!"
From her heap on the floor--
"Heh!"
Wing is smirking again.
"An embarrassment, huh?"
One eye is squinted shut from her landing, but although the Kanzuki girl's defense was deft -- the Queen has to admit that, however begrudgingly, and certainly not aloud -- the little thugette appears much tougher than she looks, and not much the worse for wear. "Well, then--" And at once her leg is lancing out, a forceful blow as Wing attacks from the ground, aiming to slam a kick into Karin's thigh, briefly numbing her adversary's leg and throwing off the girl's balance. "I look forward to your humilitation!!"
So long as she knows that her opponent's pride is on the line, too, Wing doesn't have to feel so outclassed. All she has to do is win this fight. Then she can see this annoying brat on her knees, and revel in her superiority, force her to accept it! It's simple, really.
"I'LL MAKE YOU CRY!"
Planting her palms on the ground, Wing's follow-up is an artful kung-fu maneuver, her whole body twisting as she spirals up from her prone position kicking as she rises, aiming to manage a couple quick impacts before pushing off her opponent's own body and making good her escape. Her technique is nothing to scoff at, but, as ever, she recklessly throws her whole weight behind every attack.

Wing 0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0 Karin
Karin brings up her down and blocks the kick to her leg, and shifts her stance in order to keep herself from getting struck too hard as she block each subsequent strike, gauging the weight behind each hit, before saying, "Look at you, you're practically throwing your entire body at me with your moves!"
Karin proceeds to shift out of the way of Wing's last strike in order to get the girl careening off balance, as she dashes towards the girl and suddenly skids and brings her leg up to kick high and try to send her up into the air, "Mujin Kyaku!"
"Huh?" Naerose looks over at the person addressing her with a mouth full of bread, I mean like the chipmunk style cheeks puffing out and maybe if she was a squirrel it would actually look cute, but not on Naerose. Oooh no. Now she looks like a moocher. Swallow. . . Strain strain strain, what's in this glass, swallow. Strain. Finally.
"Hey, hold on a moment, I'm not eating her food." Her gears start to grind. "See, what I'm doing is.." She starts to say, "Well you see, this food is ruined because of the things flying around and of course someone of ah, the mistress?" She looks around, adjusts her shades, not knowing who that is. She continues,
"Right so, cold food is ahh, not good enough for the mistress, you did say mistress right? Anyway, I'm just clearing it for her."

Wing is definitely unbalanced, in more ways than one.
"Ha!"
But she's used to living this way -- and fighting this way.
Her whole body, as least as much as there is of it, contorts to avoid Karin's dangerous high kick, the would-be gangster arcing around the blow in an evasion that positions her close to her rich girl's side. It's actually a rather cunning tactic, for one who fights as much on instinct as with kung-fu training. Snarling another dangerous grin, like a beast Wing smells an opportunity and reaches out to grasp Karin by the shoulder.
"Wh--"
And, like a beast, she is easily distracted.
"/Naerose/!?"
Even as she attempts to pull her adversary toward her before she can recover from her attempted kick, Wing's eyes widen in shock at the sudden sight of her arguably most irritating alleged teammate. "What are /you/-- never mind!" she suddenly shouts, rounding on her foe before this moment is completely lost. "HURRY UP AND--"
And, a glimmer of golden chi flaring up around her face, Wing brings her head forward in a brutish attempt to headbutt Karin right in the noggin, possibly the least elegant response she could have managed.
"--HELP ME KICK THIS GIRL'S ASS!"
Ah, the noble warrior spirit.

Karin manages to yank herself right out of Wing's grip just as she launches herself into a headbutt, going wide eyed as she recognizes the hints of ki going about the girl's forehead. However, now she's manages to get herself some distance and dashes back forward, "Guren Ken!" She shouts as she thrusts a first palm forward for Wing's chest, then a second one towards her abdomen, before diving foot first to slide kick at her legs, aiming to topple the girl, "Daisoku Barai!"
In the mean time, Ishizaki isn't buying Naerose's story for even a moment, as he glares are her, "Return Karin-ojou-sama's food this instant you ruffian!"

The witch only stares for a moment as the is told to return the food, you know, the food she's been stuffing down her gullet and finally points toward the fight and asks, "Did you hear something?" Total diversion tactic and then lowers her voice, "Hey, mister, I don't know who this character is the short angry midget is shouting about, but this figure is probably going to try to totally attack miss Karin-you-sumo's back at any second, if you don't do something about it then what will happen?" She looks over the top of the rims of her shades and glares before whispering,
"Hey, someone has to watch her back right? I'll watch her food." Nae-Nae smiles big.. Then adds, "I mean, unless that is you think the Karin-you's food is more important than her well being.."
Oh, man, she knew this would happen.
"Damn it, Naerose!"
Wing glowers as she's forced to desperately parry Karin's oncoming strikes, gritting her teeth as the rushing blows drive her back, stumbling for a moment. "Urgh!" Frustrated, the Queen of the Streets manages to nevertheless keep her cool enough to spot that diving kick coming for it impacts. Wing leaps high, over the oncoming strike, and brings her own baggy pant-clad leg up as she does, her eyes flashing. "Naerose, I swear, I'm gonna beat the crap out of you again! And I won't feed you afterward this time!"
With a roar of anger at, well, just about everyone around her, she aims to bring her foot down in an axe kick, which Wing hopes will slam the arrogant Karin -- who is thankfully not yet mocking the thugette for her failed cowardly tactics -- face-first into the floor. Even as she glares out of the corner of her eye at the witch, the would-be gangster, if she connects, will then attempt to drive her palm directly into Karin's side.
"Your teammate! I'm your /teammate/, Naerose? Remember, you stupid witch!?"

Ishizaki just frowns. FROWNS at Naerose.
Does kind of look like a witch doesn't she? And she leaves the stupid part out. She decides it is time to eat and run, and unless someone stops her, well. Naerose grabs the plate, lifts it up, shovels the food into her gaping maw. There is no attempt to chew, just to fit it all in there. She needs both hands to shove and totally Tokyo pusher style tries to get it all in there and by this point, hell, who needs to swallow? Instead she practically chokes.. actually nevermind, she's totally choking on it. Gross but she has to put some back on the plate to swallow half.. Ew, so basically Karen's plate not has .. lets not describe it.
"Ah.. I should probably clean that up." Naerose says and resumes eating. Frankly she might as well of done that nasty lick something move to claim it as theirs.
Wing is too angry for words.
"I'M GONNA /RIP YOUR FACE OFF/, NAEROSE!!"
Okay, that's not true.
Ironically, perhaps, all of Wing's fury tends to be exhibited upon whoever is unfortunate enough to be in her closest proximity, which in this case is, of course, Karin-sama. Ignoring the actual object of her irritation, the Littlest Gangster unleashes all of her rage onto her real adversary. She turns as Karin leaps from her higher ground, and reacting instinctively to counter an aerial assault, sweeps up with a tight counter-kick, knocking the blonde's trajectory askew. As Karin falls, Wing proceeds to tear into her with several more fierce kicks, almost stumbling herself with the last one.
"I'm not going to let you forget you're on our King of Fighters team!" she shouts at Naerose, without looking. "If you don't sign up for it, that frigging Pullum girl might, and then--"
She bites her lip.
"Th-- The point is, we, uh, we need you, Naerose!"
That's a bit of an about-face.
Karin finds herself crashing and burning as her kick is sent off course, and she careens into the ground and tumbles for a bit. Her hair is a bit of a mess now as she growls and stands up, watching as Wing gets distracted by Naerose, and takes advantage, growling a bit as she dashes in, calling to the girl, "You need to pay attention when you're fighting!" As she aims to drive four palm thrusts into Wing's torso, swiveling in order to drive up with an double elbow smash into her face, and finishes off with one last palm strike! "Shin-pi-kai-Kyaku!"

. . . And still Naerose munches on food. Honestly she's pretty much cleared out all of Karin's table. She even drank something that in hindesight. . was probably salad dressing. Finally she addresses Wing, all the while leaning over to snatch something off a neighboring table, the occupants well, probably are a little distracted and horrified by the fighting going on.
"Man, you're so too serious." The witch munches on something that seems to be a fancy fish thing.. Nae has no idea what it is, but it tastes great.
"I mean, I don't see what any of this has to do with a team, you're just totally in a fight.. er, so whats that got to do with me?" The witch starts taking things off the neighboring table and stuffing them into her hat intermitedly between stuffing them in well, her mouth.
Ishizaki keeps frowning. FROWN. >:| At Naerose. "Just wait until Ojou-sama gets back."
Wing does, indeed, need to pay more attention.
"Gughh!"
Caught in the middle of raising her hand as though to say 'And one more thing!', the Littlest Gangster's vaguely insulting gesture in Naerose's direction is inadequate defense, to say the least, against Karin's assault. Ojou-sama's fierce strikes snap Wing's head around, the Chinese girl's eyes crossing as, poleaxed, she collapses backward against another finely-set table. Fortunately, the residents of this particular dining area have long since fled. Unfortunately, this means that nothing but wood and ceramics remain to cushion our anti-heroine Wing's fall.
"...nngh."
Twitching faintly, Wing groans and slaps her palm to her forehead, as much in resignation with Naerose's outrages as from the daze she's been put in by Karin's ferocious assault. "T... Team... oh, forget it." Grumbling to herself, Xiaoping emerges from the wreckage, battered but hardly undone, a trickle of blood dribbling from between her thin lips but her eyes as bright as ever. "Look here, Witch-Bitch. Whether you like it or not, we'll be working together. So as a sign of good will, because I'm such a nice person--"
A second ago, she was standing still.
"--I'll demonstrate for you a true ASS-WHOOPING!"
And now, she is all up in Karin's grill.
Her fist streaks out, humming with internalized chi and raw intensity. If she can impact with that stunning blow to the girl's abdomen, she will seize advantage of the inevitable moment of shock to suddenly thunder out with a blur of glowing punches, her cackling almost inaudible over their fulminations.
"KNEEL BEFORE ME!"
At least she's paying attention.

Karin tries to bring her arms up to block the strike, but the punch break through and drills into her cut, causing her to double over and leaving her open to the many many chi powered punches that slam into her face and body, causing her to finally stagger backward and then fall painfully to one knee.
When the girl taunts her at the end, Karin grits her teeth as she looks up at her, already in the kneeling position. She could just give up here and surrender to this girl. What was one loss, right?
Karin growls and spits out a bit of collected blood from her bleeding lip, screaming up at the chinese girl, "Bite me, midget queen." With that, she launches herself up and grabs for the girl's hoodie to grip, and aims to drive her knee up into her gut, and AGAIN! At that second knee, she would trip the girl over and slams her into the ground!
"Oooooo" Naerose says, while watching the beating unfold and that.. conveniently means her mouth is in the most optimal, perfect position, for shoving more of the food from the table next ther her inside. She gets all sorts off stuff she doesn't know the name of.. that is until the occupant starts to notice. He takes offense and tries waving a napkin at her to shoe the witch off. That ends up in her mouth too. Napkins taste like,
"Eww, that was dry. Someone should complain to the chef." The witch comments and continues to watch with a forward lean, you know to catch all of the action. She really wants to know, will the ringlet blonde girl have what it takes to beat up the chinese midget, or will the chinese midget whose name she doesn't even remember, if she was even told, have what it will take to win. And also who is she rooting for?
Yep, she's totally leaning forward for that reason and not to scoop up the food that was knocked to the floor in the chaos of the fight and shovel it into her gaping maw.
"You can do it.. You!" The witch cheers, but it starts to sound more like "muff muf muff mufff muff."

Huff, huff, huff.
Wing blinks the sweat from her eyes and wipes the blood from her lip with the back of her head, appearing dazed from the aftermath of her own assault for a moment before turning to look in Naerose's general direction. "Did you see--" A moment passes, before she realizes Naerose is nowhere to be found. A moment more passes before she realizes that, in fact, she is facing the opposite direction, and quickly turns around, thereby finding Naerose. "Did you see th--"
Silence, occupied only by the sound of Naerose scarfing.
"Ugh..."
Wing reaches up to cover her eyes, which is hardly her first mistake. It's worth noting, at the very least, that Naerose seems to be one of the few people who can get Wing to care about something even /more/ than seeing her felled upon on her knees. The Chinese thugette didn't even have time to issue any more taunts before--
"Arghh!"
She finds her head yanked low, the Wu-Tang wannabe's eyes bulging as that knee slams into her abdomen, emitting a strangled cough at the second. As she is thrown to the side, a terrible ripping sound is heard, as Wing's favorite worn hoodie at last gives way under the pressure, leaving shreds in its wake. Struggling out of the damaged aftermath is a furious Wing, who tosses aside the remnants to reveal an unflattering tank-top and-- well, nothing much.
"You BITCH!"
Oh, except lots of anger.
"Rrrahhh!"
But she's at least conscious enough to do exactly as Ojou-sama commands, which is to say, leap upon Karin ferociously, aiming to tackle her to the ground -- and begin biting her arm, Wing's eyes blazing.

Karin tries once more to turn the momentum against Wing, with intent to trip her, only the tackle comes in too hard, sending crashing into the ground, and smacks her head against the ground hard enough that it knocks her out. She doesn't even notice she's being bitten.
At long last, Ishizaki abandons his post at Karin's meal, leaving Nae to do whatever she damn well pleased, and the big butler forcibly shoves Wing off of Karin, calling, "Ojou-sama!" As he goes to tend to her wounds.
"Wow, that's a bingo!" Exclaims Naerose, as she finds one of those chocolate desert gloves that they pour chocolate on and it melts, they're really expensive, anyway, it rolls over to Naerose from a nearby table that is well, on it's side and she starts to clap. "That was pretty impressive!"
See the moves, broken table, from the fighting.. Surely the pair are somehow to thank for Naerose getting a chocolate globe of goodness. Yay! Then again, is Nae better off with the angry midget, or the ringletted woman winning the fight?
She'll have to think of that later, and turns to the butler, "Man did you see that? She did this and bang and boom and then the desert an-"
Frown. Big Frown.
"A.. hahah," laughs Naerose nervously as she encounters the brick wall frown. Instead she turns her attention toward Karin,
"Man did you see tha-" Oh. . .
More nervous laughter.
That leaves... Wing. Naerose opens her mouth, opens it wide.. Preparing to shove a chocolate globe the size of her fist into her mouth.
Wing is so out of it she can hardly think to prevent herself from being shoved away. Her eyes glassy, she manages to avoid doing much but leaving teeth marks on Karin's arm, and though she rounds on Ishizaki, she appears so exhausted and befuddled it's as though she can hardly remember what she's doing here in the first place. "I, I won," she manages, glancing around at -- the utter lack of an audience, as those who once dined in this place have all completely fled.
Sirens begin to blare faintly in the distance.
"...Crap."
Wing looks to Naerose, to the remaining staff, to the fallen Karin, to the hole where the front door used to be. And, making a split-second decision, she rushes for the closest table, and stanches the rest of the chocolates before Naerose can grab them. "Come on!" she shouts, grabbing the witch with the other hand. "Let's get the hell out of here!!"
And she will begin tugging the witch toward the back entrance.
Unfortunately, this back entrance is behind the kitchen.
Which is just /full/ of distractions.
Let's hope they make it out in one piece.
