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.]

[Ren looks around the apartment. Admittedly there is not a lot to look at.]

Thank you. So it's supposed to be a sleepover? That was not exactly my intention, but, well - I do not mind, and it is pretty late.

I see you are a follower of minimalism.

...

[Calvin had his gun out and pointed at Eva.]

And now I feel stupid for dipping the bullets in holy water.

[For the past few days everything in his place was getting moved around randomly. He figured something was haunting him. So when the various little things like devil traps under the carpets and salt lines didn't work he got the blessed bullets out.]

Who are you and WHY are you tormenting me?! Did someone at OSI send you for some kind of sick prank?!

On one hand that does sound logical, there's honestly no reason for someone like you to be creeping around my house messing with my stuff...

[Calvin does not lower his gun.]

On the other if it really was a dream you'd be some kind of ghost trying to make my life as miserable as possible... and possibly rattle chains in front of my face.

I find it noble to live without much in the way of material possession.

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.]

[personal profile] jianai 2014-07-22 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah!

[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.

Oh, so that's where they all were. But just touching the container won't make the weapons explode, will it?

[personal profile] jianai 2014-07-22 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very mindful. Don't worry, I won't touch the safe again.

I wonder, does that anti-tank weapon see a lot of use?

[personal profile] jianai 2014-07-22 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I don't. Why?

[personal profile] jianai 2014-07-23 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like to talk about it?

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?

Not having anyone close to me, I found solace and support - in people. Everyone in the world is my family. Or at least, can become a part of it if they so desire.

[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.

A lot of times, especially around 15 years ago. It was a more chaotic time. I think everyone on Earth feared for their lives, and wouldn't trust anyone outside of their closest circle. Especially a traveling, lone stranger like myself.

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.

[personal profile] jianai 2014-07-23 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Yes it is.

[Ren continues to smile before asking with a tone of polite curiosity.]

Is someone abusing you?

[personal profile] jianai 2014-07-23 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
So you were speaking hypothetically? I see.

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?
