For SRWU
1.[In the middle of the night, you get up for some reason-maybe you're really hungry, or you've been sick, or you're a really light sleeper and catch the noise-noise, because when you wake up, you'll notice a girl standing in the room, and some of your stuff's been moved about.]
...um...
2. [For whatever reason, you've ended up at Eva's apartment for the night-probably, someone wanted to check it out, and she just didn't bother to say no. Whatever the reason, it's sparse. No art, no furniture other than a single pillow and lamp, and nothing in the kitchen to eat but stocks of frozen dinners and canned food. No TV, no internet, no phone.]
Um...if you want the pillow, you can take it...I have a second...
3.
[Or, your introduction to Eva may come during the daylight hours; she can often be seen working out, doing crunches while dangling from a pull-up bar upside down. The girl is ripped, and has two small scars on her abdomen. There's a tattoo of something on the back of her neck, but it's hard to make out with how fast she's going.]
4. [Combat! And Eva's getting her ass kicked by the gleaming white robot that some Vultures brought along to play with. In an instant of melee combat, it uses a wrist-mounted blade to slice an arm off her F-15 and kicks the TSF away.]
...
[Still, she stands to fight; the sub-arms dutifully whip out their guns, and she's firing at the white robot with three rifles in short order.]
...um...

What matters is not what you have, but what is inside your heart.
[Ren decides to use the safe as a seat while saying this really cheesy line.]
no subject
You need to get off of that. Calmly, and carefully, but you need to do it right now.
no subject
[The reaction causes Ren to jump a little, startled. But the troublesome guest follows Eva's instructions, getting up but without haste.]
Was this a precious memento of yours or something similar? I am sincerely sorry, I did not realize it was something not to be touched.
no subject
[She starts setting out the pillows and blankets.]
It's where I keep my weapons. There is an SMAW...um, a shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapon...
If you set off its ammunition...you'd die...

I wonder, does that anti-tank weapon see a lot of use?
no subject
...Ren.
You...don't have a family, do you.

no subject
You see, my kind does not really have families.
[Ren sits on the floor, near the prepared blanket. This could take a while so better make yourselves comfortable.]
We call each other "kin" but there are no familial relations, and everyone is on their own, to forge their own life since birth.
It is a rather lonely feeling. I'll ask, and I hope I'm not intruding - how did you deal with yours? Or would you rather not say, and hear out how I dealt with mine?
no subject
[Eva takes her own seat, not far away.]
My life...hasn't been very happy.
no subject
[Ren sits cross-legged and closes their eyes momentarily, as if reminiscing.]
Of course not everyone accepted me. Many didn't, for various reasons... but when they do, it fills me with joy. Even if not me, it's enough if people at least accept each other. Work with each other. Sacrifice their own for each other.
I have been through good times, and bad ones too. You say your life wasn't happy, Eva. If there's a way I can soothe it somehow, then I wish to do just that.
no subject
Um...if you've ever dealt with that...how'd you do it...
no subject
How did I deal with those who tried to take advantage of me? It was simple, I didn't let anyone make me do anything that I wouldn't want to do myself.
[Ren smiles apologetically.]
Of course, it's the peculiar situation I am in that made those instances simple. For a lot of people, it would be much more complicated.

[Ren continues to smile before asking with a tone of polite curiosity.]
Is someone abusing you?
no subject
[She seems a little bit taken aback by the question; there's a bit of silence while she figures out what to say.]
Um...no, it's not something like that...
no subject
Still, I want to help you. If there's any way I can, I will.
[Ren inches closer and spreads their arms, a gesture of readiness to hug Eva.]
May I?
no subject
[Eva breaks eye contact, just sort of sitting there. The hug attempt gets no reaction.]
no subject
If you say so. It's late, so let's just go to sleep.
And...
Thank you.
no subject
And...I don't need to sleep much, so I'll probably go out for a while...
no subject
Well then, good night. I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but - stay safe.
no subject
But...I will return, unharmed.
