Outside a small club in a dark, damp corner of Tokyo, Mae Shiba rolled her eyes at the curfew announcement. Honestly, any human that hadn't figured out that being outside at night was a bad idea by this point just about deserved what they got. Natural selection, you know? Besides, she'd been getting a bit... Peckish. She hadn't eaten in quite a while, and she worried that her human-loving pack mates were rubbing off on her. Couldn't have that.

And so, crouched in the shadows, 'Comedy' watched the door from behind her ever-smiling mask. Oh, it was possible that whoever came out of the club would be a perfectly decent person, just down on their luck and looking for escape. Perhaps they just couldn't find work, or were looking for someone they'd missed. Maybe they had a partner, a child just waiting for them to get home. Wouldn't that just be tragic? Sadly, these thoughts didn't bother Mae Shiba. To tell the truth, she couldn't care less.

Besides, there were very few decent people around these parts. So, when a man stumbled out of the club, drunk and trying to get back home before curfew, he was sliced in two almost instantly. At least it was a quick death, as these things went. Some ghouls would be a lot more showy about the whole thing. Grabbing the remains, Mae disappeared down the alley, a glossy puddle the only evidence of the man's demise. Once she got a bit further away, she ate her meal.

She thought about bringing some back for the others, but decided not to bother with the idea. At best they'd reject it, at worst they'd get all judgemental or something. Why they were so hung up on helping the humans, she would never understand. Ghouls were just above them on the food chain. Simple as that. Of course, any hope of actually taking anything despite that was dashed when she glanced down the alleyway, and saw a pair of black eyes staring back at her. He wasn't seriously going to pick a fight with her, was he? No, he couldn't be that stupid.

The ghoul unfurled their kagune - another Ukaku, by the looks of things. Oh, joy. Mae lazily released her own Kagune as the ghoul launched a flurry of projectiles at her, which were easily blocked by a single large wing. Honestly, it was slightly pathetic. Barely a C-level ghoul, by the looks of things. Not even worth toying with, which was a shame. He did seem fairly surprised to find his left leg no longer attached to his body. And half of his right one.

[color=#F4A460]"You know, in future, you should probably look at your opponent before trying to hunt them. What you just tried was like a rabbit trying to fight a lion. Say, have you ever heard of survival of the fittest?"[/COLOR] she said casually as she strolled over to him. He glared up at her, muttering defiantly. [b]"S-screw you."[/b] 

Behind her mask, Mae raised an eyebrow, then leaned down, her mask's grin just inches from his face as she laughed at him. [color=#F4A460]"You know, I might have let you live, but it seems you just can't learn your lesson. The weak die, unless they bow to the strong. That's just the way it is. Allow me to demonstrate."[/color]

It was the last thing he heard before a razor-sharp projectile went through his skull. Mae stood up, satisfied, but she heard the sound of people approaching. With a sigh, she took flight, landing several blocks away. What a pain. At least she'd gotten something to eat before he'd tried anything - dealing with idiots and weaklings tended to ruin her appetite.
