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. ]

[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.]
no subject
she wonders if she shouldn't help him, as she approaches, but seeing the blood from his nose puts her on edge, hesitant to get too close ]
What happened to him?
no subject
[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.
no subject
And...so he deserved this, then? A criminal?
[ an acceptable target? perhaps even terezi would agree with that, channeling her thirst into a tool of justice ]
no subject
Yes. He is a pimp, and was selling meth.
[A pause.]
Are you alright?
no subject
Yes.
Perfectly fine.
no subject
You are lying.
no subject
Um.
no subject
What's wrong?

no subject
Are you hunting?
no subject
no subject
Either you are or you aren't. [Her tone of voice seems to imply she didn't think either answer was wrong.]

no subject
I can't let you bite him.
no subject
No, I...um, didn't expect you would be able to.
no subject
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?
no subject
Tank Girl previously provided me a regular supply, but she's no longer present on this timeline, and my stock has run inconveniently dry. I...hadn't coordinated any sort of replacement just yet.
no subject
And now you need more on short term with no plan.
[She didn't mean to sound disapproving...]
no subject
Well, it isn't a terribly simple affliction to plan for!
no subject
I did not- [A faint, frustrated huff.] It doesn't matter. I offered to help you once, when you first told me about this.
no subject
Well, I wouldn't like to present an inconvenience.
no subject
I heal. It would not actually be an inconvenience. And it would keep you from needing to hunt people.
