[Semi-Open] A Nurse with No Name

[clumsynurse]

After discarding a majority of anything that had some semblance of familiarity in her wardrobe, Compa found herself in a village on the outskirts of Eastern Planeptune.

Using spare credits, she took on the plain black long dress of ceremonial robes with a deep hood to conceal herself. She was nearly out of her home nation and as minutes ticked by, she knew she had to at least be across the border soon. There were a lot of places she could stop and hide once out of the boundaries of what was familiar.

Comments

[lovelettergeneral]

Standing at the train station with am arm entwined with her partner's, swaying back and forth with a hum.

They were able to snipe a pretty hefty bounty and were ready to relax at the next town.

[chalicerouzer]

Rubbing her side as they stood.

"Leanbox next. It's always interesting to see what they've acquired..." watching several passersby.

[clumsynurse]

Compa made her way to the station, looking around at where to go and potentially just...hop off midway if it came to that.

Swaying back and forth, she spotted the familiar general and tried to keep space...for now.

[lovelettergeneral]

"I haven't been in awhile, but they remain forever in the news for new acquisitions!"

[chalicerouzer]

"That's what it's all about. Right? Even for you" a kiss to her temple. Their railcar approaching with several presses to the break to eventually stop

[clumsynurse]

Compa was pushed forward as the doors opened. A rush of people left her wedged and pushed right up to them!

"Eek! Sorry sorry!"

A dangerous gamble

[how_vexing]

A sluggish rousal, head spinning as he struggled to sit up.

"Compa-" He jerks himself alert for a few seconds, remembering what transpired.

The proposal. One pretty damn heartfelt in his opinion...

Her eyes never meeting his. Not even focusing on the ring he- acquired.

Her voice...

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙧.

He shot up to shaky legs with a growl. His foot knocking the empty syringe across the tile floor.

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙧.

"Compa!" He knew she wasn't there. He saw her run before he hit the ground.

He stalks into the empty bedroom, eyes cast over the metallic trinkets and reflective clothing and belts.

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙧.

Seething he picks a belt up, lashing it against the bed, the pictures along the nightstand, the walls...anything within reach. His screams filling the room and for the better part the small home.

Just what the hell happened this morning when she left? Who did she speak to that had her disillusioned with him? Her flinching as if he repulsed her. No more love for him in those crimson pools of her eyes...

The bedroom they once shared demolished in his blind rage. Something he had contained for years because of her...

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙧.

His mirror beasts wail and tear around in the busted pieces of glass along the floor. Worked into a frenzy by their master. "FIND HER!" He'd scream at them, causing them to rear off and heed his request.

Huffing for air, he leaned against the doorframe before- 𝙎𝙡𝙖𝙢. 𝙎𝙡𝙖𝙢. 𝙎𝙡𝙖𝙢. His head meeting the now banged up frame. Blood pooling across his forehead. Takeshi would look up through the crimson staining his vision as though that would summon Compa back.

Until a knock on the door.
There was no way.
"Compa..." making his way to the door.

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚? 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖 𝙟𝙤𝙠𝙚. 𝘼 𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙛𝙛...𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣...

Except it wasn't that woman at the door. It was a patient of hers that was coming to get their medication from her because she was late in delivering it. They were taken back by the bloodied man with an eerie smile greeting them. What's a man to do? Refuse a guest? Compa wouldn't like that, would she?

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙧.

He pulls them inside the home and begins to flay them with the belt, a long leg kicking the door shut. They try to run but he's faster and a hell of a lot stronger. Shoving them into the kitchen, he snatched the knife from earlier.

Any plea they uttered fell to nothing. He slashes at them wildly, cutting through skin, muscle, tendon as they brought their hands and arms up to block. Their shrieks matching his own yells and curses until they fall silent once the knife is lodged in their chest and they hit the ground.

𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙧.
His shoulders rise and fall rapidly as his cold gaze looks from his newest victim to her communicator on the counter. He'd snatches it up with bloodied fingers and looks to the window and the lights of the basilicom.

"Neptune..."

Basilicom briefing

[presidentneptune]

Leaning against the wall of the main elevator, wiping her brow. She was happy to be home after a long long long day of overseeing games and negotiations. She's ready to relax!

Re: Basilicom briefing

[immortalwish]

He'd meet her as the doors open.

"Yo. You're late" arms crossed with a brow raise.

Re: Basilicom briefing

[presidentneptune]

"Oop!" Stepping toward him.

"Sorry! It's been hectic. People are super firm about these new ant pirating laws-but! We found some loopholes that had to be ironed out" a kiss to his cheek.

Re: Basilicom briefing

[immortalwish]

A faint smirk. "Hooooh~ Good eye, Neptune" a nod as they walk toward the main living area.

Re: Basilicom briefing

[presidentneptune]

"I'm super hopeful for new endeavors! I really owe you for helping me study paperwork...although it's sooo boring"

Re: Basilicom briefing

[immortalwish]

"Ahh but see, if it weren't for my prowess, much would slip through the cracks. Harming Planeptune amongst other things"

[oraclehistoire]

Slowly hovering over her tome on the main floor of the Basilicom. Nearly everyone was accounted for back home safe and sound.

Wings flit and flex against her small back as something caught her attention from the corner of her eye...

[g3rider]

He set down several bags as he came in.

"Sorry if I made you wait. The markets were extremely crowded so I had to take a different route"

[oraclehistoire]

"Ah! Welcome home. I guessed as much~" Fluttering to land on his shoulder.

"I'm just glad you're home safe"

[g3rider]

A light chuckle. "Sometimes I forget how full that place can be" a head shake at himself more so.

"I didn't miss anything, did I?" A glance at his watch to peek at the time before glancing to the Oracle on his shoulder.

[oraclehistoire]

A shake of her head.

"No, things have been fairly quiet. Neptune has seen quite a few prospective partners. I hope she did well"

[g3rider]

"Hah, well she does have a naxk for trouble, but also she does a decent job of drawing in prospects. I'm sure she did just fine"

A proposal like no other

[how_vexing]

Once far enough away, he broke into a house and used the nearest phone available.

Dialing the number on the card, he gripped it tight after.

𝙍𝙞𝙣𝙜

𝙍𝙞𝙣𝙜

𝙍𝙞𝙣𝙜...

Eyes glance around and come across seaweed snacks. He rips open the bag and begins to hastily eat.

Re: A proposal like no other

[genmnokami]

Smirking at a newfound gashat under development. As well as Kamen Rider Chronicle code on a screen.

His phone rings in the Maximum Mighty X jingle, lifting it to his ear.

Not everyone had his number, so he had an inkling who it might be..

"Hello there. Seeking me?~"

Re: A proposal like no other

[how_vexing]

He could almost see the smirk from were he sat.

That pissed him off.

A huff through his nose.

"You're a very wanted man as a matter of fact. We need to talk...and I want to do it face to face"

Re: A proposal like no other

[genmnokami]

“Ahh~ An audience with you..”

He checked his watch.

“Why not. I take it things are a little bumpy right now. Don’t you worry. This is allll according to plan. 3 minutes. I’ll come to you.”

Re: A proposal like no other

[how_vexing]

"Sure.." His tone dismissive. Unless the plan was to have his partner hate him...

In the meantime, he'd take a peek around the house he busted into. Eyes gazing around at anything that could become a weapon, and of course a vast number of reflective surfaces.

Re: A proposal like no other

[genmnokami]

Click.

He rises with a sigh, grasping a gashat, and moving onward. He gazed at his phone, reaching for his Driver to press the side button on it, using stage select to transport to his location.
