Vitani Chausiku

  That may look like PAULINA SINGER but is actually VITANI CHAUSIKU from THE LION KING 2. SHE is 20 years old and SHE lives on the OUTERRING. To make a living SHE is a THIEF. (sorcha/23/she/her/central)

The outside world was not like mother had told her. If there were monsters, they were hidden well. Mostly Rapunzel just saw… people. So, so, so many people. And so many rules that everyone seemingly knew about and Rapunzel just didn’t.

Well, she could do this. She got this! She could order herself a coffee.

Someday.

(Maybe Mother knew best, after all.)

She let out a little eep sound as someone bumped into her, quickly remembering to pull up her braided hair so people wouldn’t stumble over it. She lifted her hand to try and catch someone’s attention, but it wasn’t working.

“Ahem, uhm, s-sir,” she tried, only to be completely ignored again. A small frown was starting to form on her face, her eyebrow twitching.

Vitani was sat in the back of the coffee shop with her chair pushed into the corner so she had a view of the entire room. There were no missions or targets today which meant Vitani was free to relax. Today that meant splurging on a very hot and very sweet coffee that was worth more than most of her meals. 

Savouring each sip, Vitani almost missed the blonde woman who had wandered in to the coffee shop. She didn’t bother hiding her smirk as a women brushed past Blondie with all the finesse of a hippo - this girl did not belong here. Most people who frequented this end of the ring were either gang members or scum. Little miss Blondie was going to get eaten alive. 

Reaching for her cup, Vitani frowned as it lifted easily; if only they had bottomless versions of all their drinks. She drained the last sugary dregs of her coffee and stood, tossing the paper cup in the nearest bin. Sparing one last glance at the girl, Vitani wasn’t surprised to see a few men had gotten in line behind her and were just about to begin crowding her. 

A deep sigh tore from her chest - she didn’t even know this girl. What did she care if something happened? If she wasn’t smart enough to survive on her own then maybe this would teach her. That’s what Vitani wanted to say but even as that last thought crossed her mind, her feet had already taken her halfway across the room until she was slinging an arm around the blonde’s shoulders. 

“Haven’t you ordered yet? I’ve been waiting here for so long, I finished my coffee ages ago.” Slamming her skeletal hand on the counter, Vitani watched as the barista flinched before turning to face them. “Can we get some fucking service over here?”

“Twenty minutes is a bloody long time to wait around here. What do you suggest we do in the meantime? Sit around and sing Kumbaya?” He couldn’t help but by a little sarcastic. What they were about to do was risky and he was on edge. It was just his default when he was nervous. No. He had to do something or he was going to go mad waiting. He stood up and glanced around the corner. “I’m going to have a look around. Make sure there isn’t anything I missed. Just in case.”

“Not unless you want those guards to hear you. Sing that shit on your own time.” Rolling her eyes at the kid’s dramatics, Vitani checked her small clicker and set the timer - it was buzz once the twenty minutes were up. This kind of operation had to be exact and expert time management had been drilled into her head from birth. It was the kind of thing that could make or break a team. 

So distracted by setting the timer, she didn’t realise Tommy had gotten up until he was already looking around the corner. “Are you stupid?” she hissed, skeletal covered hand reaching out to grasp tightly around his wrist. “Did you want to fuck up this whole mission before it even starts and get us both thrown in the fucking jail? You wouldn’t last five seconds in there!”

As Toulouse kept snooping, he found a couple boards that moved effortlessly. He tossed them to the side and hoped it to be the beginnings of a great pile. “Wait, is this place seriously haunted?” That was definitely said with too much enthusiasm. “And you don’t want to check it out? Come on, ‘tani! Let’s go catch ourselves a ghost.” He found himself somewhere between serious and teasing. As much as he didn’t want to push things too far, this was something he absolutely wanted to check out.     

 “If the stories I’ve heard are true, then I’d be more surprised if the place wasn’t haunted.” She scanned the street one last time before she was satisfied no one was paying them any mind. Vitani turned a little less reluctantly and began to help Tolouse remove board after board, carefully placing hers on the deck to avoid making any unnecessary sound. 

Of course she was only really using her one hand to pull and in a matter of moments had amassed her own small pile. “C’mon Richie, you’re gonna let me beat you just like that?” With a competitive gleam in her eyes, Vitani went back to removing the boards, her skeletal augmentation glinting in the moonlight.

Sosuke did not expect the lady, who seemed to be some sort of thief, to take a seat next to him. However, he wasn’t a scaredy-cat or anything so Sosuke wasn’t shaken by her presence. “No, I don’t think that’s actually true,” he replied once he swallowed his food. Sosuke tried to subtly push his bag of chips, which he’d actually paid for, towards her. “Do you always steal food?”

Raising an eyebrow at the boy’s actions, Vitani couldn’t help the smile tugging at the corner of her lips. Most people wouldn’t have watched her steal handfuls of food and then offer some of their own. His kindness was certainly unexpected. 

“Only when I have to,” she admitted, completely ignoring his protest. “Pickings are slim in the outer ring. It’s easier to take things from this ring since most people don’t expect this kind of behaviour outside of the slums.” She took a chip from the bag before sliding it back to him with a nod. “What’s your name kid?”

sailorboysosuke:

Sosuke choked back on the meal he was enjoying. As a household rule, his mother didn’t care if people talked with food in their mouth. However, Sosuke knew that not every everyone was so lenient, and he wanted to be respectful. Still, he had to interject immediately, food be damned.

“Ho- wait, is that allowed?!”

Vitani stopped, hand frozen with a handful of snacks halfway between the counter and her bag. The cafeteria was quiet this early in the morning and most of the staff were in the back guzzling coffee, as if that would cure them of a massive hangover. Shooting a glare towards the boy that called her out, she glanced around before reaching out for more food - just as the kitchen door swung open. 

Cursing, Vitani slid into the seat across from the boy and kicked her bag under the table. The meteor strike was still affecting them and she needed to feed her family. Watching the two employees fill the line, she finally answered his question, her tone distracted. “Anything’s allowed kid, as long as you don’t get caught.”

Esme smirked, her lips curling in an almost arrogant and prideful manner.  Having lived in the Outer Ring her whole life and surviving in it like a pro, Esme was confident she could pull it off.  “It’s all about the sleight of hand.  And I’ll be distracting him.  Just follow my lead,” she grinned as she sat up next to a patron by the bar.  “How’s it going,” Esmeralda said, giving her most charming smile.  “Is that drink any good?”

Vitani shook her head as Esme sidled up to their target. Really, it wasn’t the act that was bothering her, but rather the three guards stationed a couple feet away from him. But Esme was gone before she could voice any of her concerns and Vitani moved forward, doing her best to blend in with the rest of the crowd. 

Winking at Esme, she took a too short step and went flying forward, her outstretched hand catching on the man’s augmentation. “Ah’m so sorry, are y’alrigh’? Ah was walkin’ an’ suddenly the floor was gone and Ah couldn’ stop mahself.” Vitani began to back away, tucking her small device into a back pocket. She wouldn’t know if the virus had taken hold until she was outside.

“But didn’t you just say it was abandoned?” Toulouse turned to to send a cheeky smile her way, but then promptly went back to ignoring her advice. He walked up to the front of the vacant building and began messing with the boarded doorway. ‘Abandoned’ had apparently been permission enough for the redhead, though he would be careless to assume that it meant it was safe.     

Jesus fucking Christ. For a moment Vitani debated leaving Toulouse behind - abandoned didn’t mean free and she was sure that at least three different murders had happened her. Not that she had (or wanted) proof but still, there were stories. Flexing her skeleton enhancement, she glanced around worriedly before striding up to the doorway and leaned against the wall, her eyes continuously scanning for passerby's. 

“They don’t have ghosts in the first ring or something?” she asked before glancing up at her friend. Her tone wasn’t unkind, but it was clear that she thought this was a ridiculous idea.  “You gotta come out to the scary and dangerous end of the ship just to stir up some haunts?”

Heinrich knew what day it was and lets just say, he did not look forward to it by any means. He didn’t care to leave the warmth of his house, let alone the First Ring. But every now and again they would send a Council Member to oversee the aid going on in the Second and Outer Rings. Unfortunately for him, it was his turn. After his daily routine of working out, eating breakfast, and putting on whatever suit he felt like wearing that day he made his way outside where his car picked him up.

Upon arrival at one of the aid relief tents he asked the typical questions assessing the situations when a small boy approached him in which he held a conversation with for a brief moment. He than could feel the presence of someone behind him. “Are you going to continue to stand there or speak? Or are you just mute?”

Vitani was on a scouting mission for her mother when she ran into the council man. Nuka and Kovu had been sent on out to other areas of the outer ring, either to bank in some favours or to follow up on debts that had yet to be paid. They were all hurting from the recent meteor attack but Zira’s empathy was a dry well and she wasn’t prepared to take no for an answer. Which meant that Vitani was left to eye the survivors; see if there were any injured stuck here from the first or second rings, new targets that were just itching to be marked. 

She had just reached the first relief tent when she saw a man who ticked her interest. Nobody wore suits like that out here unless they were extremely wealthy or extremely stupid. Or both. Tapping a quick description to her mother, Vitani sent off the message before stalking closer and pulling her mess of braids from their ponytail. 

“I...I’m sorry sir,” she gasped, her voice suddenly rough and weak. “No one comes out to th’ outer ring dressed so fancylike ‘less they searchin’ for somethin’...unique.” Her usually lean face was becoming gaunt as the food supply in her ring had declined; she knew they were unimportant but still, there was nothing like a food shortage to really hammer that point home. “I don’ have much sir but if ya can spare a couple credits, I’m sure we could work out some sort of...arrangement.” Her voice trailed off as she glanced to a nearby alley, her eyes suddenly anything but innocent.

“First of all, thanks for the Chau,” Prude said, wrapping her hand and fist with athletic tape. “And number two, this is a brilliant idea. If I’m ever going to work my way up in the fight world, I have to be seen fighting someone big. But if no one thinks I’m worth fighting in a ring-” She finished wrapping and clenched her fist. “-then I’ll fight them outside the ring. Then I’ll knock ‘em out, and everyone’s gonna be like ‘Whoa, that kid’s super tough. They should fight Bosco next Friday!’” Prude grinned stupidly.

Vitani eyed the crowd worriedly, recognising a good number of thugs and debt collectors among the faces. She was sure she even spotted a few deadlier faces among the mass but they didn’t seem interested in fighting. 

“Alright then,” she shrugged and knocked her fist against Prude’s. Who was she to really talk someone out of a fight? “Just remember us little people when you get to the big leagues, alright Prude.” Vitani laughed and if it sounded a little choked, well she wasn’t going to comment on it. She was definitely going to be keeping an eye on the sidelines and make sure no funny business went on during the fight.

“You’re not making that comment because of the uniform are you?” Judy questioned, and put her hands on her hips. “I’m pretty sure I made it very apparent that I wanted to be a police officer when I was a kid! Why is everyone so shocked and upset that I was able to do it!”

“Of course I’m saying that because of the uniform.” Eyeing Judy, she couldn’t hide the small smile tugging at her lips. She looked every inch a police women and Vitani was proud that Judy had been able to escape. Of course, that meant she looked every inch a police woman in the Outer Ring and some of the gangs and crime syndicates would not take too kindly to her being seen with the law. 

“You know as well as I do that the law means something else out here than it does in the other rings. If you go and try to stop that,” Vitani gestured over to the small crowd that had gathered around two individuals having it out. “You could start something you don’t want to finish.”

Tommy looked up at the giant building with a slight shudder of trepidation. The bright neon sign read Warehouse 21 in bright white. This was where the chemicals for the water treatment facility in the second ring had come from. Tommy still didn’t know what they were but if the governor didn’t want them in his water then whatever it was couldn’t be good.He glanced over at Vitani and shrugged. “Oh please. I’ve had worse ideas than this. All that matters is if you can get me in or not. Undetected preferably.”

“Please, I am all about being undetectable,” Vitani scoffed before eyeing the building in front of them. It looked a little less dilapidated than most of the buildings in this area, the obnoxious neon sign creating a haze around the front. There were probably guards, especially if Tommy was right about what was inside, but she had yet to see anyone. 

“Alright hot shot, I talked with a few of my mother’s men and they said that any guards would be switching shifts in about twenty minutes. That’s our window. We get in, get whatever evidence or whatever it is you want, and then we get out.”

Any friends day made on the station? Any you want to make?

“I don’t really have the best luck with friends. It would be nice to have someone to - well, I suppose to rely on but it’s just not realistic out here. I have my family and that’s enough for me.”

[vitanichausiku]

Looking at the crowd of people in front of her, she glanced up at her companion and back out into the crowd. “There are certain moments where I consider you someone with brilliant ideas and a good future. This is not one of those moments.” Vitani wasn’t usually one to back down from a challenge but even to her this idea seemed to lean towards the insane side.

Arthur stooped down with a smile and offered a hand to help the other person. “Careful there. The meteors left more than a few little craters and pot holes all over the station. Just going for a stroll has turned into a dangerous business.”

Grabbing the outstretched hand, Vitani tried to ignore the embarrassing flush that was steadily working it’s way up her neck. She was usually sure footed, leaping over most things with the ease of a cat - apparently her fight with Zira earlier today had affected her more than she thought. 

“Tell me about it. This place was already a mess - the last thing we needed was more holes. Thanks, by the way,” she added on way too late. “Most don’t stop for anything in this area.”

if people came with warning labels, what would yours say?

“Sticky Fingered - keep an eye on your valuables at all times. That way, I’d know where they all are. Gotta love that human tick that makes you clutch you purses the moment they’re threatened.”
