A very long main road connecting the industrial zone to the central business district, then through the shopping district to the suburbs. Busy multi-lane road with lots of traffic jams. ((Yes I know I'm sad, roleplaying alone. Not my fault - yeah I'm lookin' at you! Haha. Anyway even though I've been fooling around a lot, this is going somewhere.)) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Irina tore across the mall parking lot at top speed, a pair of security guards right behind her. Cutting left, she headed towards the busy main road and sprinted across, hoping she wouldn't be hit by a car and have to reveal her gift. Luckily the traffic was moving very slowly. She looked over her shoulder to see one of the guards hesitate, then dash across after her. The other one had stopped and was shouting into his radio. It was surprising that they would even chase her this far, all she'd done was push some bitch to the floor...
Sheba followed the sound of chaos across the parking lot, stopping at the side of the road. One of the security guards was standing there, out of breath and calling for the police. "Yes... female offender, assaulted a pregnant woman... she's heading west along Warrington Road..." he huffed. Sheba nimbly made her way across the road before he could see her face. She made it just in time to see the back of the other security guard disappearing into an alleyway. By the time she caught up, Irina was just a small figure floating over a high fence. The security guard was hanging limply against the side of a rubbish skip. The heavy lid of the skip had closed on the back of his neck, crushing down and pinning him there with his head just out of sight. Sheba had never seen a dead body before. She crept tentatively forward, unable to tear her eyes from the sight until the faraway sound of a police siren brought her back to reality. Oh my god. They'll think it was me... they'll think I'm a murderer! Her lungs seemed to shrink inside of her. Terrified, she fled from the scene, tears flooding her vision. Where could she go? Her helplessness suddenly seemed overwhelming. Nobody would believe that she had a twin, when there were no official records, no birth documents or anything to prove that Irina existed. Once they caught her, it would all be over. All she could do was run. I can't go home! There's nowhere to hide! She wished with all her heart that she could fly like Irina. On foot, she had no chance - when the police found the body they would deploy every resource they had, and they would find her in minutes. Suddenly, a spark of hope lit inside of her. She had to find Irina. If the police saw her with their own eyes, then they might believe that Sheba was innocent. Desperate, she took off in the direction that Irina had disappeared. She was very hard to follow, but Sheba had seen her floating over a high wall of black stone.

Soshi sauntered out into the busy street, his jacket collar up to his chin, concealing his emotionless expression. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he walked down the road, looking closely but conspicuously at the shops around. Normal, normal, average people walked by him, unaware of his strange abilities. He scowled to himself, slightly irritated by the tediousness of the city... Though he was so unaware himself. Suddenly, his ears pricked and the piercing sting of sirens sounded and he winced.

Mira wondered the streets heading back towards the manor, wondering how Vi would react to her sudden dissapearance. She actually regretted not telling him where she was going, but couldnt risk him saying she couldnt go. She was deep in thought then her ears picked up on sirens. She smiled sadly knowing they were looking for that girl in the elven costume which Vi had hidden from the police probably about half a hour ago. Continuing walking but this time backwards still looking at the scene with the police cars, she suddenly bumped into someone lost her balance and fell backwards onto her duffel bag, so didnt hit the floor and her neck didnt hurt so much with the impact with the bag instead of the floor. Quickly she stood and apologised to whom she had bumped into, "I'm so sorry! I wasnt watching where I was going..."

So aware and cautious, deep in concentration, Soshi's face muscles twitched at the horrible loud noises. I tried to compress the nerves from his ears using his mind, but he wasn't entirely certain how to. And, as he was in his own world, he didn't look ahead and a sharp-eyed, thin and pale girl and she toppled backwards onto the ground. He froze, glancing down at her, shaking his head. People around were looking at him with cold glances and he sighed, stepping over her. He waved his hand. "I'm sorry too, runt," he said coldly, though he didn't intend on sounding so unfriendly. Soshi realised that this girl was devastatingly pretty, dramatic, trailing black hair and extremely bright, clear skin, though she looked oddly skinny. Soshi bent down and picked up her bag, brushing it off with the back of his slender fingers. Then, out of curiosity and craving to stay with this interesting character, he spoke. "Are you hungry? You look it," he said, his voice perfectly smooth and deep. 'This girl, if I keep talking to her, my new novel will done in no time,' he thought cunningly, as if it was an evil thoughts.

"Thanks..." She said taking her duffel bag back, not taking offence to the runt comment as she new she was extremely small compared to most people. She looked at him and realised he looked almost like her except she was smaller, skinnier and more likely younger, "Oh. No really, I'm not hungry at all. I know I look it but really I'm fine." She said smiling and even though felt dizzy slightly from blood loss, food might do her some good...

Frowning with concern and impatience, Soshi leant forward and shoved his face in closer. "Look, it wasn't an offer," he ended up saying. "Come." And he took her thin wrist and attempted to pull her down the street, his ponytail fluttering violently against the wind as he picked up speed and briskly went into the café nearby. "Sit," he demanded quietly, pressing his collar down to reveal his tall and slender neck. He was cautious when trying to blend in, making sure not to look suspicious... but being with this girl must have been peculiar.

Mira leant back slightly when he put his face closer to hers, "Oh-" She began to protest but he was already hauling her down the street. Being too weak to pull away se just let herself be dragged. The thought of food made her feel really sick, but decided she had to eat something so she wouldnt seem rude. She sat down reluctantly when demanded to then thought, why he was so bossy. She watched him pull at his collar and realised he might have been slightly nervous, but she made nothing of it. She adjusted the bandage around her neck, making it just as tight as it had been before, probably tighter.

Soshi watched this girl keenly, even as she fiddled with a bandage on her neck. He observed her face, hair, body and movements, jotting them down in his mind. The café was quiet, with barely anybody in it. People didn't seem to be looking, so Soshi slid a menu towards him with his fingers and peered down at it, whilst keeping a straight back. Class mattered, after all. "My name is Soshi Pendulum, I am a novelist," he explained, leaning on his elbow and staring into her mysterious eyes. "What is your name?"

When the bandage was slightly looser so she could breathe, she stopped fiddling with and put her hands on her lap. She looked up to see the man staring at her keenly and then felt really umcomfortable, with him staring at her like that. They were more or less alone in the cafe except for the waitresses and a few customers. Mira didnt bother to look at a menu as she would settle for just a drink of water. She looked up at him when he told him his name and asked for hers staring right at her at her which made her feel even more initimidated, "Mira..." She answered not giving her last name as she couldnt remember it, nor would she want to be known with her families last name. Plus in her previous line of work last names were not important.

Soshi's heart swayed with pleasure. 'What a perfect fitting name,' he thought. Without taking his blue eyes off of this girl, he reached into a pocket of his jacket and produced a notebook and pen. He began to scribble down things, then realised how suspicious it must've seemed. "You have struck my imagination," he mumbled, as if embarrassed. His writing was jagged and swift, and when he whipped the pad away, he finally looked away from her to find a waitor. A waitress sauntered over when he flicked his brow at her. "How may I help you?" 'Man, such thick people in this city,' Soshi immediately thought. "I'll take a coffee and chocolate cake and..." he looked at Mira's arms and his mind wanted to squeeze something inside her, forcefully. "This young lady will take a beefburger with chips, that should do." Then he added. "Oh, and a salad. And water..." The waitress walked away with a forced smile as she took a glance at Mira. Soshi did not make eye contact with Mira, but mumbled. "If you refuse to eat this, it'll over drive my curiosity further."

Mira looked back down at the table again when he whipped out his pad and paper feeling like he was looking under her skin. When he heard the mumble about striking his imagination, she shook her head unnoticibly, How many more imaginations can I strike today...? No one has ever bothered with me like this before... She thought.
She looked up when the waitress sauntered over and requested to take their order. She waited till Soshi had ordered then she was going to request water, "Urm-" But Soshi ordered for her and she was nearly sick at the mention of the Beefburger and Chips. Then she smiled at the salad and water. Then thought about it for a moment. He isnt going to pull a I'm a Celebrity and tease me with the salad is he... Mira thought for a second, then said, "Thanks but um, I really can't eat all that..." She said. If she did she wouldnt have to eat for ages. The waitress came back not long later with their order and she reached out to take the salad...

Reacting like lightning, Soshi pulled the salad back. "Mira, I don't want to insult you, but you need to eat something a little bigger." He pointed at the fatty meal, and his mouth began to water. He quickly scooped some cake so fast he'd been careless and revealed his power. He stared at Mira again, chewing innocently, then placed five chips on the plate in front of her. "Try some," he said, his imaginary sixth sense tingling. He only hoped that he was going the right way. "I want you to have at least some of each food, as salad is good too, obviously." He'd never talked to much in his life. "I like food... I'll finish it..." He decided to shut up as he sounded pathetic. He grunted and looked away, his hand still on the salad dish.

"I have ate this before. I just dont like to eat it thats all..."Mira said and took her hand back from the salad. When he scooped up the cake as fast as lighting once again she twigged onto he was gifted, "Dont worry about it." She said nibbling at a chip slowly as she hadnt eaten in a very long time, "I'm just a human..." She said deciding to mention the power give away. She finished all five chips in a absurd ammount of time, being very slow, "Can I have the salad now?" She said gesturing to the empty five chipless plate.

Soshi gawped at the mention of her food issue. "That's not good. Teenagers are weird, why do you need to be thinner you're quite pretty." He said, totally unintentionally to compliment her. He continued to chew his cake, looking at her plate as the chips... slowly... were... comsumed. And when they were, he glanced at the bag of the remaining ones. Sighing, he pushed the salad towards her. "Well, chips are bad for you, I guess," he grunted, taking the chips, which were now cold and pulling them towards him. He smiled to himself, snuck them under the table, and held the bag in his palm, slowly cooking them up. After that, he took one quickly and grinned. "But chips are tasty. Eat it all," he said, referring to the salad.

"Thank you." She said smiling at the pretty compliment. "It is weird I agree. I'm not anoerexic though. I've gotten used to not eating alot." Mira said, "Even if I was. I couldnt get treatment for it." Mira said and then slapped herself mentally, for might of given something away. She smiled when she finally got the salad. Even if them chips made her feel sick, it was worth it. She washed the taste of grease in her mouth with the water. Then started to crunch away at the salad, but not as slow as eating the chips. She was about to leave about half of it when Soshi said she had to eat it all. She let out a pethetic moan then continued eating, till she left nothing but tomatoes, "I dont like them..." She said laying her fork down on the plate and pushed it backwards. Then slowly drank her water. She noticed that Soshi held the bag under the table. She wondered why he did that and just started to eat them again. Not questioning it and just waited paitiently taking sips of her water.
