backdated to a few hours ago

[ 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. ]

[ damn it, moving again. though her hand falls on her bag now. can she unzip it and get the journal out...

she doesn't say anything else. the "we" thing makes her think of ryou and the ring spirit. but if this guy was possessed, he wouldn't have to resort to a gun, right? ]

[Frustrated enough for the moment that he doesn't notice. Harvey's suddenly bitching at him about this. Again. WHY GOD WHY, but if she goes too far too fast... he's still got the gun drawn on her...]

[ suddenly, she's shaking her head. ]

I don't -- he's just a boy! [ damian, that is. ]

[............wait what]

[Harvey isn't just a boy--]

[Oh is she talking about...]

[EYEROLL]

[ immediately she whirls around to face him. she glares up at him. not a trace of fear on her, replaced by rage, which is rare for her. ]

If you hurt him...!

[Aaaaand he just immediately grabs her by the throat again, actually pressing the gun to her forehead this time]

Let -- [ she chokes and then shuts up again. the anger is still there in her eyes and she continues to glower at him. ]

[Ohhhh yessssss. That anger makes him so happy, and he's grinning as he closes he hand a little tighter around her throat. My goodness, does he want to kill this girl right now...]

[ she winces, gritting her teeth in her mouth. her heart is beating faster again when he makes that threat. ]

[Eyebrow raise and he lets go of her throat, though he keeps the gun firmly pressed to her forehead]

[ still tense and looking away again, she gives a very slow nod, very conscious about that gun. ]

[Takes the gun off her head, and gestures for her to keep walking. They're close, and he's starting to think they've been out in the open far too long...]

[ she starts along again, hand still on her bag. she needs to find a good moment so she can get it open. even if she can't get to the mace, as soon as she opens the journal and even says one thing, someone will hear it. they'll know she's in trouble.

but paranoia is growing fast. if this guy wanted to kill damian... this was all a trap, wasn't it? except damian isn't stupid -- he wouldn't fall for this. besides, they haven't spoken in months. was this guy even aware of that?

she makes sure she keeps walking ahead for now. ]

... Who are you, anyway?

[He's paying slightly less attention to her now. She seemed to finally get it, and his own brand of paranoia was making this walk seem decidedly more dangerous. A Bat was the last thing he wanted to come across when he was this close...]

[Absentmindedly: ]

[ well, she doesn't believe that.

but christ... she's wondering what happened to his face. ]

Your real name.

[B| Bad move. Shoves her, harder then usual]

[ she stumbles forward. ]

[ then she stops walking. yeah, she went there. again.

she swallows and waits for him to approach again, keeping her back turned. ]

[WHAT THE FUCK WORST HOSTAGE]

[Will just... walk at her without missing a beat. Gonna shove her again. Thinking about more drastic measures cause seriously, this is pretty ridiculous]

[ she waits for it and does her best to stand her ground when he pushes again. then as quickly and as hard as she can, she bends her arm and proceeds to slam it into his stomach from behind. lol @ you before perfect height for this. still, it's not trained or perfected. clearly just a girl who's frightened out of her wits now.

and she bolts as fast as her legs will allow her, trying to get back on the path toward the castle. her hand scrambles to zip open her bag but she's not getting it. ]

Come on, come on, come on!

[O... ow what... just happened...]

[As untrained as it is, it still takes him completely by surprise and he ends up leaning against the wall for a moment--]

[Until he realizes she's running. 8| Snarls under his breath, firing a shot after her AND MISSING. FUCK HIM]

[And then she's around the corner, so it's not gonna do him any good to try again. SIGH. Runs after her, as hard as he can. There's no way he's letting her get away now, and she's short enough that catching up to her... isn't much of a problem. Reaches for the strap on her bag to trip her up since she seems so interested in it...]

[ she honestly wasn't expecting him to fire. she figured if he wanted her dead he would have done so minutes ago. without intending to, she screams when she hears the gunshot and keeps going.

and she screams again when she feels herself being jerked back toward him. she's quickly trying to slip the bag off so she can break away from him once more. ]

No... no! Stop it!

[Ffffffuuuuu he probably should've put this gun away before he tried this. But when she slips out of the strap, he tosses the bag aside and goes to grab her arm again]

[AND MAN DIS UPPITY BITCH is getting pretty tiring, so in the same motion he brings his other hand around and... basically tries to punch her in the head with his gun...]

Let --

[ only she doesn't get to finish that thought. she feels the strike against her head and there's a flash of white. ]
