rainbows are visions, but only illusions

WHO: Kanaya Maryam and YOU!!
WHERE: Around The City
WHEN: March 13th, afternoon
WARNINGS: Creeping, stalking, awkwardness, potentially a little blood?
SUMMARY: Kanaya's been thirsty lately, and it's led to her stalking shadows a little more often, creeping around, thinking about how people might taste. Bright feelings and bad ideas.
FORMAT: Whatever you like! If you have any special instructions, drop a note here!

[ terezi had crashed shortly after they returned from school. she still wasn't used to the daylight hours, and despite every assurance kanaya could possibly give, still wasn't comfortable under the sun. she only stayed up to keep an eye on kanaya, but it was clear that it was wearing on her. kanaya had tucked her in with her scalemates before sneaking out herself.

she finds herself stepping along the edges of the rooftops, leaping across the walls, dancing across the city as though it was her own personal studio. it helps to clear her head, but also recalls the last time she did this, reminds her of her need. it isn't as easy this time, though, she knows better.

but a resolution not to take doesn't erase the strength of her want. she slides down a fire escape, kicks against the wall, and softly lands in the alley below. she's not sure how she'll manage the thirst for now, but the romance of the hunt is certainly tempting as she sees the passersby on the sidewalk. she can't stay here long, she'll have to keep moving if she wants her thoughts to keep from settling on the subject too strongly.

[Laura was standing in the far end of that particular alley, with the unconscious body of a drug-dealer she'd accosted a few moments prior laying at her feet. He was bleeding from a broken nose, but otherwise appeared to just be knocked out. She'd gone through his pockets, and was stuffing his earnings in her pocket as she dialed 911 on the dealers cell with her other hand.]

[She pauses though, before she hits the second one, as a familiar scent catches her attention, half-turning to peer towards the fire escape and the figure dropping off of it, shadowed by the afternoon sun at the far end of the alley. Huh. After a brief moment, she closes the phone with a very audible snap.]

I kicked him.

[Laura shrugs, turning back towards the unconcious man, then back to Kanaya, holding up the pilfered phone.]

I was about to call the police, it's not a good idea for either of us to be here when they arrive.

girlverine: (Thinking.)

[Laura studies Kanaya carefully then, she could smell the...she wasn't entirely sure how to classify it, really, but 'need' was probably accurate...]

Yes. He is a pimp, and was selling meth.

[A pause.]

Are you alright?
girlverine: (Watching.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-20 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Laura watches Kanaya still, her green eyes slightly narrowed.]

You are lying.
girlverine: (The Distance from Everyone.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-20 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
You're sweating, your attention keeps shifting to him, and I can smell...something. [Okay, Laura officially didn't like trying to sort out alien physiology.]

What's wrong?
girlverine: (Snff.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-20 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
A nose bleed will not kill him, he is- [Laura half-turned as she spoke, then paused. Kanaya wasn't actually concerned about the man, that was foolish. And Laura knew about her...unique issues, even for a troll.]

Are you hunting?
girlverine: (Oh get on with it.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-20 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Laura didn't seem terribly impressed with that indecisive answer. She crosses her arms.]

Either you are or you aren't. [Her tone of voice seems to imply she didn't think either answer was wrong.]
girlverine: (Hum.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-20 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Can you do it without permenantly injuring someone?
girlverine: (The Distance from Everyone.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-21 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another moment of silent consideration. She couldn't actually let Kanaya just...bite some random criminal, could she? Granted, the drug dealer probably deserved it, but as far as 'being a hero' and 'not a horrible assassin' went, that didn't seem to rate.]

I can't let you bite him.
girlverine: (Slump.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-23 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laura considers for a moment.]

We should leave here. [A little pause as she discards the cell phone without calling 911. Better safe than sorry at the moment.]

What do you usually do?
girlverine: (The Distance from Everyone.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-23 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laura had only spoken to Tank girl rarely, but it somehow didn't surprise her that the strange woman had been supplying Kanaya with blood.]

And now you need more on short term with no plan.

[She didn't mean to sound disapproving...]
girlverine: (Little Girl Lost)

[Laura frowns faintly at that. Out of the alley and down the street they want, lookingly probably like two perfectly normal teenagers.]

I did not- [A faint, frustrated huff.] It doesn't matter. I offered to help you once, when you first told me about this.
girlverine: (Watching.)

[personal profile] girlverine 2012-03-25 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laura shrugged.]

I heal. It would not actually be an inconvenience. And it would keep you from needing to hunt people.
