Autumn, December 6th - Winter Blues

Action - Frost Empire Bounty - Public

[ With her tailor shop not having a good start, and the depression that came with that have been piling up like the snow around her, Ayame isn't in her best of moods this night. She had let herself enjoy and be consumed by the thought of having more and more money, now that she's independent. So even if this bounty had a low pay, she took it, just to help stave off the thoughts in her head. Even while holding a bottle of whisky in her hand, Ayame manages to track her targets to a bank with the help of her psionic abilities.

Kicking the front door open, Ayame stumbles in to the bank, bringing along the cold winds with her. The Emperor and Empress ceased their attempt to drill through the vault, as Ayame's dynamic entrance manages to startle them. Ayame's shadowy silhouette looked intimidating... until she started walking all wobbly and the light shone on her casual outfit, also chugging her drink like it's water.

Then, a beat ]

I suppose asking for some ice is a step too far?

[ Ayame raises a brow, raising her bottle and gave it a little shake. The two criminals just looked at each other, before the Emperor thought to waste no more of their time in dealing with this stranger. The Empress took what they had and start to flee, while the Emperor fired a barrage of ice shards at Ayame at an incredibly high rate to help cover their escape. Stray shards manage to escape passed the door that Ayame barged in to, with the glass in the front of the bank shattering and causing enough noise to alert the surrounding area.

Ayame looks unharmed by the assault, but it did ruin her coat now that it's all frozen and scuffled on some spots, and her bottle of whisky is just gone ]

Aww... I wasn't done with that. It was expensive too...

Oh. Right. Wait! I still have to turn you in to the proper authorities!

[ Ayame drops what's left of the bottle on to the puddle of booze on the floor, giving chase to the Emperor and Empress while trying to run in high heels ]

Text - Public

[ Sometime later, Ayame returns to her apartment. Locking the door behind her, she was just met with an empty and lifeless living space, with a cat who is just sleeping on the couch being the only thing breathing aside from Ayame herself. Sitting beside her pet, Ayame wasn't sure what to do with what's left of her night. There's still books and clothes she still haven't finished, and some TV shows to watch, but none of that sound appealing to her right now. With a sigh, Ayame fires up her comm device to send a text message to the network ]

Good evening, Genessia. Looking for a roommate to share rent with. I don't look for anyone in particular as long as they have a job, so let's discuss it first if you are interested, or know anyone who do. Let me know please? Thank you

Are you willing to move to a new place or looking for someone to share your place?

I have plenty of room in my house. I could use roommates.

[It's pretty hard not to hear that alarm going off when he's so close to the bank. It's not an uncommon sound to hear when you are a superhero. Criminals always robbing some sort of store with an alarm system. He's outside as the Emperor and Empress make their exit from the bank followed by the cute woman high heels.

Clearly the situation is handled. But on the other hand, the girl chasing them is pretty cute.]

Hey! You need some help?! [He calls out after the girl.]

I'm not quite sure. I figured it would be better to move to whoever has the larger living space. I live in an apartment.

What is your house like, and what do you do for a living?

I live in a 4 bedroom/4 bathroom, 2 story house.

I run Sand Gym and model.

[ Right before Johnny's arrival, the Emperor made one last attempt to slow Ayame down. Firing a stream of cold energy to the floors, walls, and glass ceilings of the bank, freezing the objects to their very core. Being inebriated and distracted by Johnny's voice calling out to her, Ayame didn't get to respond quick enough and stepped on the ice, causing her to almost lose her balance ]

Oh no, I'm alright. I think.

[ Ayame responds with a slight giggle in her tone, clearly having a little fun thanks to her buzz, while briefly flailing of her arms so she wouldn't fall. She turns around to look at Johnny before a loud rumbling and bright light from outside gives Ayame a pause, as she senses her targets took to their airborn get-away vehicle. The vehicle hovers directly over the bank, and it seems the Emperor wasn't done, as he fired a hail of icy energy on the roof of the bank. Like a rain of bullets, it shatters the ceiling above Ayame and Johnny ]

[ The size of that house and this person's occupation seems decent, so Ayame couldn't help but be more intrigued. ]

That is quite the space, I can see why you need some help with the rent. But there is another issue that needs to be addressed. I'm not sure what you are and what sort of people you are comfortable with. Would you be fine with an adult female with a pet cat as a roommate? I'm aware that most of Genessia happen to be teenagers.

I own the place. It's more for utilities and upkeep.

I am fine with that. You would have to look to see if my house is cat safe.

I happen to be a teenager. I'm male. Would you be fine with that?

[ He likes older people.]

I see.

I admit that you being a young man does cause some problems. That being, it may raise some eyebrows and cause unfortunate implications that others might read too much into.

[ Ayame sighs. She might pass as Mayu's older sister, but she doesn't know what he looks like yet to feel more comfortable with the idea of moving in with a teenage boy ]

But I am still interested in checking the house for myself, if you wouldn't mind. When would be a good time for you?

[In an instant, Johnny catches fire and he shoots out a stream of fire about Ayame to protect her from the falling glass to both melt and push it away. He himself isn't worried about the glass shards falling on him as he turns his own heat up to make sure it melts.][

Well, you certainly do look alright. [You know, with the way she almost lost her balance and everything.] I admit, I can't help but want to step in when a see a beautiful woman who looks like she is in need of help.

[ Ayame looks above her and watches Johnny's fire blast incinerate the frozen glass. Her eyes fall to look at him, all wrapped up in fire so hot that she could feel it from where she stood. Ayame couldn't help but give a hum and a nod. It's a brilliant light show ]

How kind of you. I won't oppose any help, so long as I get the bounty money.

[ Ayame giggled a bit more, skating on the near-melting sheet of ice on one foot, and propelling herself towards Johnny and the front entrance of the bank. Even as Johnny remains blanketed in flames, Ayame shields herself with a psionic force field to not burn her clothes. Ayame touches her chin with a finger. Now that she's standing next to him, it would be more obvious that she's drunk with the pink flush of her cheeks and the smell of whisky in her breath.

At this point, the get-away craft leaving the premises, with the Emperor warning his partner that there's a pyrokinetic around ]

Is that alright with you? I'm in quite the financial pinch.

[ She gives a sheepish grin with an apologetic hand gesture by her face. Her financial pinch is untrue, but the lure of more money has her under its spell that she even bothers with a 1-star bounty. Ayame taps her shoes just as the Emperor and Empress managed to leave the immediate premises. But as two people with flight capabilities, that shouldn't be a big whoop ]

[He stops the stream of fire when the ice and glass are safely dealt with. Getting a closer look at her now, he can tell she is is drunk. But he can also tell she's even cuter. He grins a bit to her, even though he's covered in flames. ]

I'm sorry to hear that, but I can only let you have the bounty if you allow me to buy you drinks and or dinner sometimes. It's one of the rules that I have. [Not like he couldn't tell that she drinks.]

Think you could do that?

[ Ayame shakes her head, brows furrowing along with a small amused smirk at the corner of her lips ]

Oh, you drive a difficult bargain...

[ Ayame gave it exactly a second to decide her answer. It wasn't difficult since her decision-making wasn't at a 100%, and subconsciously she's still hung-up on the idea of going on a traditional date just to experience it. ]

But I'm not about to say no to free drinks.

[ Ayame shrugs, not realizing that she just made a decision she'll regret when she sobers up. She gives Johnny a little wave before jogging away backwards to a good distance ]

I suppose I'll talk to you later? Unless you can fly... Then try and keep up.

[ With another chuckle, Ayame propels herself upward with psionic force, following the stray hovercraft that's soon merging to city traffic. The Emperor remained on the side of the craft. Bounty hunters are something else, so he didn't think for a second that Ayame or Johnny would give up following them after that display he did. With Ayame being invulnerable and Johnny being a foil to their weapon capabilities, the Emperor changed his targets to things he can hurt: civilians. ]

[ Mayu is an incredibly dense teenager. He likely wouldn't pick up on why Ayame would be uncomfortable.]

More adults need to be brought in.

I am free all day Wednesday, and afternoons most other days.

[Johnny wasn't going to very well let her handle it all by herself, not when he had kind of gotten involved anyway. Plus, he's already burned off his regular clothing, so he floats up and flies after her.]

We'll, you're the one getting paid for this. How do you want to do it?

[ Ayame wobbled a bit in the air, not flying straight until she manages to muster a bit more focus. She shakes her head and then sense Johnny follow her. Flame-propelled flight? Now that's interesting. Ayame took a second and hummed in thought after Johnny asked for the plan. She narrows her eyes, thinking until her train of thought has been cut abruptly at the sight of hovercars being blasted with the Emperor's freeze rays. ]

All for a one-star pay...

[ A sigh escapes her lips and a frown formed on her face while they continue their pursuit. The Emperor grows more and more aggressive, escalating from small cars to larger trucks as his targets. As tired as she is by now, Ayame shakes off her stress and tries to be serious ]

All right. This chase has gone on long enough. You have the flame. I want you to end this. Now.

[ Ayame gives a commanding point of her fingers at their target while her flight comes to an abrupt halt. ]

Go. I'll take care of these civilians before they cause further damage.

[ Ayame nods, as a bright rippling aura forms around her. While Johnny follows their target, Ayame would be stopping the cars from crashing with her telekinesis. The amount of them were a little too many that she likes, but it's her fault for not finishing this fight a lot sooner at the bank.

Meanwhile, the Emperor would be hooking up his weapon to a big battery in the belly of their ship. The cold glow on this weapon intensifies as it gets charged. With Johnny coming for them, he's going to need a lot more firepower to hopefully overcome his enemy's flame. Taking careful charged shots at Johnny, the Emperor instructs the Empress to fly lower and try to steady the craft. ]
