ROLEPLAY HQ - blood-oath

TWs: Fighting. Gore. Death. Medical Episodes. Adult Themes.

Mia stretched as she walked out of her apartment. She had moved into the city away from her parents two years ago, the city was still active at night, the hustle going strong. She couldn’t sleep as usual, no matter how hard she tried, and the medication didn’t seem to work. Mia put on her earbuds as she listen to her music. She was heading to her usual place, a bar in the downtown area, a chill place with wifi she can sit and write. @enummi

The years passed by like rippling waves as Eiko only grew stronger and more independent. She managed to lessen her injuries that resulted in her blood seeping out of her body by training day in and day out. All the more managing her business and dealing with the utmost unruly debtors refusing to pay back what was hers. She already had the police sniffing around which only caused her to be in an immensely foul mood. One debtor was brought in today, struggling against the strength of the men who brought him with a cloth bag over his head. Only when they were in front of Eiko did they remove it to reveal his face. The man spit at her feet as she approached, only to be drop kicked by Eiko and slammed into the ground by her foot digging into his skull. Blood splattered across the floor upon impact and he sputtered. "Mr. Jameson, it's come to my attention that you're refusing to pay back your 8 million won that you so selfishly borrowed from me. Why is that?" Her heel digs deeper as she asks her question. "I- I'll pay it! I- I was just joking is all. Ahahaha... please give me a little more time to get the money...!" The man pleaded desperately under the weight of her foot, tears brimming at the seams. "Tsk. You're so quick to give in. How boring." Removing her foot, she waved her dismissal for the men to take him away. "Thank you! Thank you!" Was all the man in debt would repeat as he was dragged away. Another of her subordinates rushing to her side to clean the blood off her shoes. "I think I need a drink." Once all cleaned up, Eiko left with her two bodyguards towards her the bar she frequented. The sky above had become dark and blanketed with brilliant stars. The moon at its crescent phase tonight, almost like she was. Not fully complete, and not close to it. Eiko ordered the men to stay put outside while she enjoyed her time inside the bar. There were a good amount of people around, the music not as blazing as one would find in a club, and the smell of pub food ..

10:30

... was thick in the air as she entered. She took her usual seat and crossed one leg over the other while she waited on her berry martini. When her drink was served, she decided to lean back in her chair and take in the view. The location of her seat was perfect for seeing all corners of the bar, being the perfect place for observation. Her eyes then landed on a woman with short hair who was... writing? At this time of night and not to mention a bar? A smile crept onto her lips as she stood up and approached her. Setting another martini right in front of her as she took a seat across. Though she frequented this bar often, she hasn't quite noticed her until recently. "Mind if I keep you company?" @Micha

“Hm?” Mia looked up. Her eyes were a amber brown, soft. Up close Eiko could see she was wearing a black shirt with short sleeves. It showed her tattoo of tiger lilies that was from her wrist, crawling over to her elbow, and she had deep blue jeans on. Her black hair was in a bobbed style. And she wore a black choker tied around her neck. Mia looked up at the woman, she didn’t recognize her, but didn’t mind the company. “Oh! Sure, I don’t mind.” Mia put her laptop away, setting it in the leather messenger bag. @enummi

Upon closer examination, the woman in front of her had a beauty right up her alley. She was cute. And she liked cute. She was definitely digging her tattoo that shot up her arm as well. Wondering what the meaning of it is. She slid the martini towards the woman and smiled. "Care for a drink? Being the only one drinking is no fun afterall. It's on me." Whether she took the drink or not, Eiko drank some of her own and swirled it in her hand. "Are you writing for an assignment? You seem to look like you're in college or so." Curiosity overtook her as she asked. What exactly could she have been typing so earnestly about? Though it couldn't possibly be of any concern to her. Eiko was wearing tight black leather pants, tight black v-neck sleeveless shirt, comfortable heels and a cropped leather jacket. Her hair had been loose until she brushed it up and tied it. The ends of her hair brushing softly against her upper back as it swayed. @Micha

Mia couldn’t help but blush slightly. She hoped that the lights were dim enough for it to go unnoticed. She took a sip of the martini, nodding in thanks. “Thank you. And no I graduated from college a few months ago. I’m writing a novel for my publisher.” Mia was telling the truth. In her free time she wrote, having a small part time job in a restaurant during the day, but when her insomnia kept her from sleeping, Mia would get lost in writing. She sat up a bit straighter, taking another sip from the glass. “I’m Mia, by the way.” @enummi

"Oh? An author are you? How intriguing~ Cheers to your graduation and your hopefully soon-to-be novel debut." Eiko raised her glass and clinked it against Mia's. It wasn't hard to be social with others, but something always tends to ruin her mood be it arguing strangers nearby or the vibe being off. So far it's been going well. "A name suited for someone as gorgeous as you are." She let out a light chuckle before taking another sip. "You can call me Eiko. Or Ei since I like you." Well more like she likes the vibe so far. She doesn't fall too easily for people, but Mia is just outside that steel door. Did she ever fall for someone before? Probably not. Some flings here and there maybe. But she never had a deep connection with any of them. Just then, her martini was empty and she raised it to inform the bartender who hurriedly rushed over to refill it. @Micha

“Well. Thank you Eiko.” Mia smiled, she had decided to take a chance on a new spot, usually she would end up in one of those midnight cafes scattered across the city. But usually it is too far a commute for her. She finished up her martini pushing the glass a little away. “I’m glad to have met a new friend here. I was a little nervous.” Mia said the last part quietly. For how easily she could talk to people, the nervousness of social interaction was nerve-racking. At the very least, a good environment that wasn’t too bright, or loud besides the music, helped. @enummi

"Anytime Mia. I'll be sure to keep you company the next time we meet as well." Once her martini was refilled, she offered a cash tip to the bartender for their service. Although she was rough with those who owed her money, she was generous to those who deserved it. Eiko's ears perked a bit to her quiet words but couldn't quite make it all out. "If you're new around her, I should caution you to be careful around these parts." With a stirring stick that came with the martini, she swirled her drink. The cherry bobbing from the motion. "Lots of bad people deal around here. I'd hate to see you get hurt." There was a bit of a bitterness that coated her tongue. She enjoyed the cries for help, but cringed at the thought of uninvolved people getting hurt under her watch. @Micha

Mia nodded, her face turning serious at this. After all, she was 5’3, and only 170 pounds. She looked like the perfect target. Mia was use to being careful anyways. “Thank you for the warning.. I’ll make sure I am careful.” Her tone showed thanks for the warning, a soft warm tone. “Do you come here often though?” Mia asked. Wanting to know more about her new friend. She was naturally curious after all. Something that has gotten her in trouble before. @enummi

Good, seems her warning did something. It definitely made her a bit more cautious. Eiko's eyes drifted to her cup, the ripples of her wine almost mesmerizing as Mia asked her question. "Mmm... every so often. I love the ambiance." In the distance she could hear a group of people whispering. Just before the window flashed a bright light before dimming. The ground shook a bit as the explosion nearby happened. Eiko's eyes had widened at the sudden event unfolding as people yelled and evacuated the premise to witness the commotion nearby. It was an apartment building with people still stuck within. A couple people were on their phones dialing 911 as parts of the building started to collapse. Clenching her fists, ultimately furious at the thought her orders were disobeyed. She stood and walked out with Mia to see what was going on. The building aflame, some could even hear screams coming from inside. @Micha

“Shit.” Mia backed away before looking at Eiko. She had to get away from this crowd of people. Had to have a excuse.. “I’m going to go get help! I’ll be back!” Before Eiko could say anything, Mia started running. She was looking for a secluded place, and there. The alleyway. She rummaged through her bag, grabbing what she needed, mask that went over her mouth and nose. And the suit. She never left without it, in the suit, was bits of metal, allowing her to easily let it shape around her, Mia had changed quickly, clicking a bag and dagger to her belt. She put the hood up, and descended onto the roof. She wasn’t that far, but it allowed her easy access. Seeing the glow, the flames, she jumped down and into the apartments, breaking the glass. She had to focus, help people out. The structure had metal in it. She could open up areas, block off danger points. She got to work. @enummi
