Kuudere Assassin for General Stuff

[schrodingerassassin]

(You are out late at night, be it for a walk, late night snack, or just heading home late. On the way, you cut through a park as a short cut and run into something unexpected. A girl, probably about eighteen or so, in a sleeping bag on a park bench. You stop to stare and she slowly opens her emerald green eyes and gives a small yawn. She stares at you for a beat before taking a quick look around.)

You seem to be surprised. Did something happen while I was resting?

(It has been a great and quiet day for you. Nothing has really happened but that just makes the day seem that much better. You take a moment to think on this only for your quiet day to come to a screeching halt as you hear an explosion. You run to check it out only to find a badly burned but slowly healing Ume laying infront of a kitchen which has smoke pillars coming out of it. Bravely, you look deep into the kitchen...And immediately regret it. You don't know what Ume was trying to make but what she made...Actually you don't know that either, but you do know it is not something anyone should ever consume. As you back away from Um'es deadly cooking, she stands up and looks at the ex-kitchen.)

...I think I added to much salt.

(Ume has pulled you aside with a more serious but still stoic look to her.)

I have a serious question to ask you. It may a little forward of me to ask something of a new ally but it is one I must ask. What do you fight for? What do you see as worth killing for?

[The bluenette on her way through the park is dragging a little; wherever she's coming from, she looks like she went through hell before she left. So she's a little slow to notice the girl asleep on the bench.]

...why is there someone here?

[A moment's staring wakes her, and she snaps to attention.]

I-I'm sorry. It's just... I don't normally see people sleeping here.

[schrodingerassassin]

(Ume shrugs a little, her stoic look holding strong.)

It's the only option I have. I'm still several miles from the headquarters and I have no money at the moment...Food was more expensive than I thought it was around here.

(Yes, Ume. It was that the prices were high and not the fact that you had three meals in one sitting.)

And what happened to you? You look like just saw the fight of your life.

[diamondlight]

That... would be a problem, yes. I didn't think it was that expensive, but then, I'm used to it by now.

[Rikka panics a little when she realizes she's being obvious.]

I, uh... I tripped before, and I think I hurt something, so I'm being careful on my way home.

[This is totally supported by the lack of wounds.]

[schrodingerassassin]

The story of my life really. Food seems to be a good cut of all my money no matter where I go...It is a mystery truthfully.

(Ume just stares at Rikka for a beat.)

You tripped and ended up like this? It must have been a bad trip. You look like I did after I fell off a cliff a few days back.

[diamondlight]

Hmm. I don't know what to say. It's unusual, but... I guess there's no explanation, is there?

It... yes, it was a bad fall. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm definitely being careful on my way back.

[Then the last part of the sentence hits her.] After you... fell off a cliff? A few days ago? And you're here like nothing happened?

[schrodingerassassin]

None. All I had was a large steak, a salad, a few burgers, chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, a few apples, and a bowl of noodles. It makes no sense.

(No Ume, it makes perfect sense. What probably doesn't make sense to Rikka though is how Ume could eat so much and still have a good figure.)

Yeah, I fell about five stories. It hurt a lot. But it is fine now, I've had much worse. All I needed was a good meal.

[diamondlight]

That doesn't sound like a problem. That should-

[diamondlight]

Wait, what!? That's... that's a huge amount! How do you eat that much? And still look like that!?

And a fall from five stories isn't something you normally recover from in a few days with food; it's something that kills the average person!

[The girl takes an automatic half-step back; the person in front of her is clearly even more not normal than she herself is.]

...How?

[schrodingerassassin]

Well, I normally only eat five meals a day but I took a nasty knife wound today.

(The edges of Ume's lips drop ever so slightly at seeing Rikka move away from her. If you weren't keen to details it is easily missed.)

...I'm not normal. I have a special pollution inside my blood that forced a mutation known as a Bloodline Evolution. It is a very rare phenomenon. I'd say that there are maybe somewhere between 10-15 people in the whole word who have one and each one is different depending on the person...I don't blame you for fearing me.
