I guess that’s it for tonight.
A flip of the mirror was all it needed to return Maya to her true form. The night had been a little harsh on her - a few thugs, a pickpocket, a gang of burglars, and a whole lot of idiots who obviously had no better use of their time than to wreck havoc.
No matter; her role was done and it was time to return home before her mother and Miguel suspected anything. Maya stretched out tired limbs, before starting on her journey home.
That was when she noticed a figure hunched over in the alleyway next to her. Despite the long hair, Maya managed to make out enough to see that the figure was male. The person seemed oddly familiar…has she ran across him before? How on earth did she miss this one out? No matter…from his current position, he definitely needed help.
"…Sir?" Maya asked warily, taking a few steps closer with one hand around her mirror. "Sir?"
They were everywhere, weren't they?
Those pathetic little gnats that gravitated toward him at the most inconvenient of times. Katsu clenched his jaw and stood quickly, mustering enough energy that sent a sharp burn through the muscles of his legs, but completed their given task nonetheless.
The ravenette's hair was free from the ponytail that usually adorned his head. The tresses were long, straight and looked similar to clean black silk in both texture and movement. Panting breaths had yet to cease, but despite that as well, he reluctantly peeled his arm away from his abdomen in order to extend it, palm vertical and fingers splayed.
Blood webbed between slender digits, the thick crimson thickly dripping from both his palm and his wrist, unveiling just how much blood he was losing from the abdominal wound. It appeared as though he had been impaled by something large, but no one should have been able to live through that.
Not when bone and less-vital organs were nearly exposed.
"You..." He murmured, voice soft and faintly hoarse from his heavy breathing. Eyes narrowed dangerously, body pivoting just slightly to better face her, but his palm remained in place - as if aimed precisely, yet he held no weapon. If it wasn't for the familiarity of her scent, he wouldn't have paid her any mind. This girl, however, was someone that he did not care for.
"I don't know what you're doing here... but you would be better off leaving me be."

[WHY THANK YOU. FFFFFFFF.]
What happened to Katsu in his past? Like, how did he get into that research institute and made into a weapon? What on earth happened to him in there?
[While his biological mother was in labor to deliver Katsu and his twin brother, Nori, his uncle, Eiji, ripped Katsu’s mother open and stole him from her body to use as a token of payment toward a group of humans that he struck a bargain with. Eiji promised them a live specimen of his species - one that was young and as new as he could get, simply so they could raise him and learn more over time.
As Katsu grew older while in the ‘care’ and company of humans, the testing became more gruesome and the assignments became much more dangerous. They sought to breed him for chimera-human halflings, hoping that his blood would enhance a human’s lifespan, as well as their strength and mind.
He never succeeded in siring any, however, simply because he was far too young and refused to cooperate long enough for anyone to get anything from him. Not only was he tortured in more ways than simple testing, the researchers performed surgeries in front of audiences (namely military and government personnel) to demonstrate his natural regenerative properties.
He was not sedated for any procedure ever performed on him, nor was he given pain medications to help relieve him. They wanted to see how much he could take. How much a chimera could take. When a surgery would go well and his body would heal, the researchers took the credit and left him to recover on his own. The only help they gave him was supplying oxygen to make him work faster.
When they tried to modify his regenerative abilities, the part of his brain controlling that lost its ability to even comprehend accomplishing regeneration. He was never able to do it again. Once he was accepted into the German military, he was put back in ‘reserve’ as a ‘secrete weapon’ of sorts. Being a chimera, he could take the blunt-force dealt to him by firearms, be them mere bullets or full-size missiles.
His telekinesis and reflexes forced him to respond naturally to defending himself, which made the researchers and military officers feel accomplished, as if they had finally ‘tamed’ him into absolute obedience. This went on for years, and even still, everything got worse. He eventually became a dealer of death sentences for high-risk criminals, and would be forced to kill mass numbers of them for both testing and for ‘the good of the people.’
Eventually, though, Katsu snapped and attacked everyone and everything, massacring military officials and the majority of researchers leading the project involving him. However, several escaped, and because of his rarity and the humans’ lack of ability to successfully clone him or use his genetics to make more of his kind, he is highly sought after. Black market dealers often try to capture him simply to collect the reward on his head that’s known throughout the underground systems of society.
Katsu is highly impulsive and unpredictable because of his past, making it impossible for almost anyone to get along with him, let alone get close to him. His humanity was ripped from him ages ago, but since the day that he was freed, he has slowly begun to recover, though he remains deeply traumatized.]

maya-jamboree replied to your post: I want to watch a French horror movie ...
It’s true…they don’t hold back on the gore and queasiness but there is a lot of symbolism and whimsicality involved. I think there is one vampire movie…’Livid’ or something. ‘Matyrs’ is just horrifying - torture porn, basically.
I looked at two "Best French Horror Films" posts and both Livid and Matyrs was on both of them. I'm thinking of watching Livid but Matyrs is a no no.
I describe French horror films like this: Their idea of a PG-13 is our idea of an M.

Hmmm...then perhaps for practicality and comfort, go overalls :)
I think i will, although it might ruin the iconic image of the notebook.
