   lola likes to believe she’s as patient as they come, but this of course is a fallacy. the girl is an atomic bomb when it comes to stupidity, especially drunken stupors and the dude in the corner is flexing a little too much. he needs to be brought down a peg, several if she’s being at all honest with herself. she notices a woman narrowly escaping his slightly slurred words, and the hacker moves to push the stool out for her, a refuge in this hellish nightscape.      ❛  get  what  you  want,  that  asshole  is  buying  for  the  rest  of  the  night.  ❜  //  @mutedfury: sc.

   The man harassing her could have easily been taken care of ( but she’d been warned not to resort to violence if need be ), so her smile had been fake and her words dripped with an artificial sweetness as she slipped away from him and towards the woman at the bar. The stool pulled out and she sat easily -- still not looking directly towards the man or at her. But her words pulled a genuine smirk of a laugh out of her.

     “Had half a mind to let him know what I really thought about what’s between his legs.” An order is placed and the glass is brought to her lips. No flinch at the dark liquid, but rather a relief. “Thanks for the save.”

     cyra walked into a local connivence store half asleep, steps bored and lazy as she grabbed a small basket from the front of the shop. she needed something to keep her awake –– coffee, maybe some snacks, maybe some pills. sleep was something she seemed to always be lacking, and jax hadn’t been much help in the different methods to try to get sleep. 

      therapy would probably help….

      a sigh escaped her lips as she reached for some chips when a bang came from the front of the store, followed by a lot of shouting. “what the –– ” when she peered over shelves, she saw a man and woman holding guns and knives, holo-masks on to cover their faces. 

      “great,” she said. “just what i needed.” 

@mutedfury / starter call.     

   From the opposite side of the store, Shai herself had only been in to grab an energy drink for a member of her squad. Damn guy was making the whole team tired and it wouldn’t do for her to be subjected to a bodily function that was not her own. Her train of thought ( berating the other in her head --- sure he could hear her ) was interrupted by the bang and there wasn’t even a flinch on her face. She stood there, hand outstretched and watched the scene play out. 

A quick glance around told her on her HUD that there was another in the store and her shoulders tightened up. A job to do then. The man had the worker by the collar, but Shai’s attention turned to where she saw the heat signature behind the shelves. She moved slowly, a silent hiss of activation at her splices’ stealth, and she made the few steps towards the other. 

Without hesitation, she placed a heavy hand on her shoulder and put her finger to her lips. “We’ll need to dispatch these two.” 

[mutedfury-blog]

❛ Uh, I was just kind of in the middle of something here. ❜

     “And?” Her head tilts as she regards the woman in front of her --- what does it matter to her what she’s in the middle of? There’s a job that needs to be done and she’s the one for it. The Pointmen are counting on her. And if this woman is the target? Well. Interesting. The whirring at the back of her brain letting her know that the other members of her squad are in place makes her eyes flick to the ceiling and then back to make eye contact. “Move.”

i should write up my verses for shai but also ... .??? ?

[mutedfury-blog]

❛ That does not make it easier. ❜

     “It’s not meant to make it easier.” Her words are murmured as her eyes are closed and hands work on reloading the rifle at the desk in front of her. The Outlands are waiting for them--- which means danger. Nothing easy or simple about it. Her eyes open and the pupils stutter and focus on the task at hand ( not looking at the girl speaking to her ). “You’ll probably die. Soft.” 

[mutedfury-blog]

drafts and inbox cleared and queued ! this is a low activity blog, but my main is @ofvalor if you want to interact with my canons. 

[mutedfury-blog]

❛ Okay, but, um what the hell is this? ❜

   The object in her hand is not unfamiliar. Shai stares for a moment at it, then reaches out to quickly grab it from her--- unaware that the quick snatching motion might hurt the girl. Instantly, she locks her gaze onto it while the nanites search the database and the shift in pitches signal that they’ve found something. It takes but a millisecond for her to know what it is and when the information is displayed to her, she makes a small hum of acknowledgement. 

   “Processing chip. Upgrade for you. Obsolete for me.” She flicks it back to the girl and crosses her arms back over her chest and turns her gaze to the horizon. Radiation incoming.

[mutedfury-blog]

❛ That’s insane, but it’s also, like the 11th most insane thing to happen today, so who cares? ❜

    Her eyes narrow and lips quirk only slightly up. The slight humming in her ears and at the base of her brain ticks up in pitch as the metal in her body shifts with the body weight. All irrelevant for the task at hand --- wiping out the criminal only meters from them. Pupils shift ( more whirring and shift in pitch as the information is processed and displayed on her retinas ) and she blinks towards Cyra. 

    “If you think that’s insane---” There’s no humor in her flattened tone. “You’ll love what he does next.”

give this a like for me to throw up something shortish or to come and plot something out with you. shai’s lore and universe is extensive and very niche, but i can always play in a modern, supernatural, or post-apocalyptic type verse. ( said verses will be detailed out on my blog asap for future reference )

[mutedfury-blog]

finally finally have some icons so i can push past the new blog anxiety better and get started on those starters and replies i owe tomorrow hell yeah. gonna rewatch some CR and chill out for now tho

❛ Uh, I was just kind of in the middle of something here. ❜

❛ Well, maybe I can help. ❜

❛ I think I’m just gonna head home. ❜

❛ Are you all right? You didn’t sleep at all last night. ❜

❛ I got a solid eight minutes, not consecutively, but still. ❜

❛ It’s fine. You’re not even that blurry. ❜

❛ You gotta take it easy, man. I mean, you’re not sleeping. Your eye’s twitching. ❜

❛ Fine, but you need to get some rest. ❜

❛ This morning, you bit into a raw egg like it was an apple. ❜

❛ Thank you so much for getting me home safely. ❜

❛ Try not to fall apart. ❜

❛ Oh, yeah, I thought I recognized you. ❜

❛ You never cared about me. ❜

❛ What’s going on? ❜

❛ I can explain everything. ❜

❛ Just give me one second, okay? ❜

❛ How do we get out of this? ❜

❛ But you’re forgetting one, crucial piece of information right? ❜

❛ So sorry for eternally dooming you. ❜

❛ My brain is melting. ❜

❛ Okay, but, um what the hell is this? ❜

❛ I’m done. ❜

❛ Rule number one I get to do whatever I want, and you all just have to deal with it. ❜

❛ Rule two no more Spider-Man movies. ❜

❛ Rule three everyone leave me alone. ❜

❛ That does not make it easier. ❜

❛ I can’t help you. ❜

❛ You are a good person, NAME. ❜

❛ Sorry, it’s been a weird day. ❜

❛ You put the Peeps in the chili pot and eat them both up ❜

❛ You put the Peeps in the chili pot and it makes it taste bad  ❜

❛ I’m gonna eat all this chili and or die trying. ❜

❛ Dip your paws in my chili. ❜

❛ The world is empty. ❜

❛ There is no point to anything,  and you’re just gonna die. So do whatever. ❜

❛ And now I’m gonna eat my marshmallow-candy chili in silence, and you all can jump up your own butts. ❜

❛ Who cares? Good-bye. ❜

❛ Feeling all right? ❜

❛ I feel fine. ❜

❛ Um is everything okay other than, you know, everything? ❜

❛ It’s all chili under the bridge. ❜

❛ That’s insane, but it’s also, like the 11th most insane thing to happen today, so who cares? ❜

shai doesn’t get much social interaction outside of her squadmates once she’s initiated into the pointmen, and because she was so young when she began training, sometimes it’s a little hard for her to really get the cues right. she’ll be too blunt or too pushy or miss subtle things said in between the lines. it’s much easier with her squadmates who have the same sort of upbringing and the fact that their thoughts and emotions are so intertwined bc of the nanite swarm.
