#⚡︎ mariko vs invisible rocks: scene 1

[ngdays]

A half broken-down city, weird spirits, and no information --- great. Without a partner that had a better grasp of it than he did, Akira was stuck putting his faith in his feet. No curse forcing him to confront anything meant it wasn’t the worst scenario, but he didn’t have to like it either.

He’d found a couple of static beings so far, the more human-shaped one provoked just by making eye contact. His instincts told him keeping his distance was the best idea, and distracting them worked while he had nothing better. Crouched down near small hunks of concrete probably blasted from the nearby wall, he tossed them in his bag. There were structures still standing he could throw them at to get the heat off his back in a future confrontation.

A woman appeared from around the solid section of the wall, and while he planned to ignore her at first, she didn’t look as freaked out as she should be when the place looked like it’d been bombed. Was she in shock?

“I don’t need all of this,” he said gruffly, tossing one more weirdly shaped fragment of debris in his bag. "You should grab a few yourself.”
