[ town filter ]

[ despite all the talk and the disappearances occurring in the town, uru hadn't stopped working till closing time at her job. if anything, they needed people to take some of those shifts because some of her own co-workers had changed their schedule around so they were working in the morning. it didn't bother her; they were scared obviously.

it... was a scary thought.

luckily, she lived close to her workplace so uru didn't need to think too much about it. she stepped up to her door and stretched her arms before she began digging into her pockets.

funny... she wasn't hearing a jingling sound... nor did she feel her keys in her pocket. oh... oh, crap. after another few minutes of searching her other pockets and her bag, she found nothing. she had lost her keys again? :/ and she couldn't go back to work because it was closed. it wouldn't re-open until 8AM.

with a glance in the castle's direction, uru sighed and starts off that path. ]

[ she holds her breath, eyes widening. what was going on? was he trying to rob her or... no, this wasn't something to do with the disappearances, was it? ]

[No. See... that's not how it works]

[And you really need to answer, because he's quite purposefully cocking that gun]

[ okay.

think uru.

screaming is a bad idea for now, because he has a clear shot at her head. even if someone was sure to hear it, she's not brave enough to risk that. ]

[ she frowns back at him, her face flushed. it's not hard to read the tension on her face. she's afraid, definitely. but she's also going to stand up to this guy.

don't answer. just keep him talking about something else? ]

What do you want?

[NOPE]

[ she gulps. ]

Why?

[ she's not anyone special. she's just a regular human, not even a vigilante. ]

[Frustrated huff, and he pulls the coin out with his free hand, giving it a toss. Little eyeroll. Man if he'd known he was gonna have to talk this much...]

[ did he just... toss a coin? she thinks about bolting the minute his attention is on that but he catches it and she's stuck again.

she'll wait again for him to flip. ]

Who's "him"?

[Well... she'll have to wait a bit, because it almost immediately get tucked away again]

[And he just sounds... so... creepily pleased... with that]

[But yeah, he's not just gonna stand around anymore. Who knows which Bats are out tonight...]

[ her heart skips a beat.

damian. ]

[ she takes a deep breath and complies. how did damian know this guy? and how on earth did he know where to find uru? ]

They're... all over the town. You're going to get caught.

[..........LAUGHS. Well... Two-Face laugh so it's harsh and awful but anyway]

[Reaches out and grabs her by the hair, yanking her back over to him. And his voice is... low. Just above a whisper. Just for her]

[ she doesn't scream but rather lets out a painful whine when he grabs her hair. she struggles to pull away from him. her heart is beating so fast she's afraid she's going to have a heart attack. ]

[Tsk... Shakes her... by her hair, trying to make her knock it off. He's certainly not letting go as long as she keeps struggling, and the gun never leaves its place just beside her head]

[ uru eventually stops struggling and stands there, staring at the ground. her shoulders are shaking a bit, though.

please let this be a bad dream. this isn't REALLY happening right now. ]

... Why are you doing this?

[Oh but it is )8 And he'll just... let go of her hair so he can grab her... by the throat and make her look at him]

[ another pained sound. she stares for a good couple of seconds before averting her eyes. ]

[Just makes... a sort of disgusted sound and shoves her away. Only a couple seconds? Really? They'll have to work on that...]

[ stumbling back, she puts a hand on her throat and rubs. he's... not playing around. (even though the gun pointing was obvious...)

she starts walking against, clinging tightly to the strap on her bag.

her journal is in there -- so is her mace. no, she hasn't stopped running out of ideas. maybe she can get to it... ]

[Watching her but... of course he doesn't know what exactly she's doing or planning so he just... keeps the gun idly trained on her and... walks just fast enough that he keeps catching up to her and pushing her forward to keep her ahead of him. He doesn't even really need to do it, except occasionally to direct her down a different street...]

[DOUCHE]

[ she hasn't been this terrified for herself since last summer, with the demons. she bites her lip, eying her bag and occasionally peeking around the rooftops above to see if there was anyone there. ]

You said "we" before.

[Sar... casm... Would prefer to do this in silence, why are you talking......]

[ it did strike her as odd but... that wasn't a good sign. more people were involved in this? ]

Who are they?
