七十三 [video]

[The recording flickers on with a bit of static and goes on to show Rin's face. She's silent for a moment, fingers flitting irregularly over the screen. It zooms in for a close-up, enough to see tiny, faint scars marring her slightly tanned face. There's a hint of a smirk on her lips.]

Time for me to shine.

Okay. [The picture zooms out again, and she clears her throat, staring directly into the camera with a challenging look.]

Anyone out there got unfinished business with me? Go on, come out of the woodwork. Wouldn't want to keep you waiting any longer. And if this bitch has been bothering you... well, no better time to say it.

(OOC: IN THE AFTERNOON, Rin has been scrubbing the kitchen sink, and the result is her reflection pulling her into Shadow City and installing her glorious self in the kirin stall apartment. This Rin is a good deal more selfish than the one we know, and has a very definite ruthless side to her. She doesn't mind stepping on toes or destroying lives to satisfy her own needs -- she's that side of Rin which swore revenge two three years ago, amplified a lot.)

Kindly suggest some better options to me. There's not really much room for creativity.

... oh, fine, then flood it.

I can't do what I'd really like to, anyway.

...Now you got me feeling curious enough to ask what's that.

I'd love if it that bastard Anotsu were still here so I could finally off him.

But no, the one time the City lets me go out and play is months after he vanished.

That's just some horrible timing.

...

Find someone he cares about instead?

He doesn't care about a whole lot of people, and the only ones I could think of aren't here.

Well, anyway.

Sounds like it really sucks for you...

Take the frustration out on something. That works for me a little.

Maybe I will... say, far as I remember, "Rin" liked to spar with "Umi". That's something we could do.

[soullessocean.livejournal.com]

LOVELY. But do you really want to go for that? I'm not nearly as gentle as "Umi" is. I don't make it a habit to hold back...

As long as you're not intending to use magic, I'm fine. Magic would be unfair. Doesn't exist where I'm from, etc.

Swords are enough. I HATE that she never uses her full potential there. Aw, she believes she does. But that dumb gentleness of hers just limits our skill.

Tell me about it! All "Rin" ever does is child's play. But then, she's not even serious about her goal anymore. A fine farce, this is!

video;

[soullessocean.livejournal.com]

Well, then. Do tell me you're better than her or this will just be a gross waste of my time...

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I am, don't worry.

It's your idea. So you get to pick the spot.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Wanna go for the forest?

[Someone's getting in way over her head.]

[soullessocean.livejournal.com]

Sounds like an interesting change from the beach.

[And someone else's far too enthusiastic to mind.]

video;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

So it's on.

video;

[soullessocean.livejournal.com]

You better make it worth my while.

video;

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

You better believe I will.

[soullessocean.livejournal.com]

And there's a reason why I like you. Just don't let it go to your head.
