Haha, that was the idea. Your not supposed to be sure.
You can make guesses and assumptions but I'm never going to tell you :p

@Dark Light

Ha, figures.

Oh man, I can't slur speak.

Time to look at this and decipher it to the best of my ability inb4 I just ultimately give up and have her not understand.

The Unwanted.

Luna made it to an old model kind of car. She wasn't sure what it was but she, frankly, didn't care. Out of some stupidity maybe, she tugged on the handle. To her surprise, however, it actually opened up. She blinked in bewilderment before quickly recovering. She sat down, shut the door and then went on to hotwire the car. With her eyes burning and the near non-stop coughing, it took her quite a while - but she managed to do it. The engine hummed to life.

Could she drive in this condition?

Let's find out. She stepped on the gas pedal to where she last saw the others. She saw Ashton and then stopped and opened the door. "You look terrible Ashton. Get inside." Once inside, she would accelerate once more. She scanned where she thought Jennifer would be only to realize that she's not there anymore. Ah crap, did she get caught? They probably managed to wrestle her into submission. So if she were to follow that train of thought, she was probably in some station here in Atlanta. How were they going to get her? There was no way Luna was leaving her to them - who knows what they might do. But first, they had to get out. She barreled through an exit to get away from the SWAT. She'd have to find Violet later on. She knew the kid was smart enough to get away from the SWAT. The only real question is how they're going to find her in the first place.

"What happened to Jennifer?" Though she did think that she might have been caught, there was this sort of hope in her chest that she wasn't and she managed to escape. She also hoped that Ashton did see her.

Well, if this turns out to be a big deal tat would lead to Shindo getting kicked out of HA, it could turn into a freaking character arc of him siding with the villains or something (which was what he was originally intending to do before he was ultimately convinced to work with the heroes instead).

It can play to one's advantage if you play your cards right.

Though I'd prefer for things not to go that way.

Himeko cursed under her breath when the phone wasn't answered and had to leave a message. She placed the phone back in her pocket, now knowing that there was absolutely no hope in contacting that man. Though she should have guessed. He was either too drunk, too high or too asleep to even answer his phone. Such irresponsibility.

Upon hearing someone else's voice, she sharply turned her head to him - her tail disappearing from sight. Could this be someone who could help? That would really be a stroke of luck huh? As the words became understandable, her hopes were crushed and it left this annoyed feeling in her chest. Added with the fact that he was making lewd comments only added to the fury already building up in her. She looked back at the man who was unconscious and it didn't look like he was waking up anytime soon.

"You're either brave or extremely stupid to do this old man." She then took out her bokken, but had second thoughts of using claws instead. "Though, I think you're too drunk to even understand the situation you're currently in." She was prepared to strike this man down and teach him a lesson. She leveled her eyes to his, her hands tightening the grip around the handle of the wooden sword.

Mhm, that is if you eat continuously no? Though some have been claimed to gain immunity thanks to generations of eating human flesh, but that's besides the point. Death by disease of some kind that is carried by the monster? Yeahhhh, that would be a big problem.

As that matter was resolved, she finally was able to relax again. The club was once more blaring with lights and sound with people dancing like there's no tomorrow in the middle. She could only see silhouettes because of the strobe lights, but she didn't mind. Himeko walked towards a free table that was the farthest from the dance floor and settled there. She was offered a drink by one of the waiters and she waited there.

At least nothing bad was going on.

At some point or another, she had drifted off despite the loud music. There was no danger present in this club for her. No one would dare touch her. Not if they valued their hands that is. She had roused herself from her sleep. Same blaring music, same blinding strobe lights, same partying people who were drunk, high, having fun or all three. She stood up and passed by the bartender's counter to which the bartender acknowledged her presence. "Goin' out Princess?"

Himeko yawned and stretched her arms. "Yeah." She shouldered the bokken's case so she didn't have to carry it in her hands but still would be readily accessible when needed and set off. The morning was silent once she distanced herself from the club. No one was around since it was still so early - besides the drunks who were stumbling all over the place but they wouldn't remember anything. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She felt something shift on her backside and she opened her eyes again - a cat tail now present and swishing from side to side. "It's still equally cool and weird." She muttered to herself as she reached to touch the tail.

It had only been a few days since she had gained her powers. She wasn't sure how it happened, but when she woke up to the clubs in shambles, she had a monkey's tail. She had panicked, originally, but realized that she could 'remove' it. After some contemplating with her smarter acquaintances, they tried different experiments like aksing her if she could try different animals or if she could transform into a full monkey (sadly, she can't) among others. They deduced that she could take on some part of an animal but not transforming into the animal itself and that she is quite limited in selection.

She jolted up when she heard tires followed by a crash. What the-

It was then followed by the honk of the horn... continuously, without stop. Himeko quickly moved to the source which was pretty damn close. She saw an expensive and rather old looking car lodged into a pylon. She saw a man with his head on the steering wheel, causing the horn to just continue releasing sound. There was smoke rising from the car. Fearing for the worst, Himeko quickly made her way to the man. The seatbelt wasn't jammed so she was able to take it off quickly. She opened the door (thank God for it being an open air kind of vehicle) and then pulled him out to a safe distance and silencing the horn in the process.

She leaned him up against an alley wall. Himeko surveyed his injuries. There were some that didn't look like it came from the crash. She wasn't the type who could suddenly dress an injury properly so she was very unsure. She didn't even have the right equipment to dress wounds. So she stood guard by the alleyway as she phoned one of her subordinates who might know what to do. Though hopefully, someone gets here... because that person isn't answering his phone.

@Dark Light

Ah, got it. I'll have it post-power then.

@chukklehed

I suppose so. But ah well, what's done is done.

Though it wouldn't seem like it's poisonous. Heck, people can eat other people at least once and still survive to their old days (unless they get caught or something). But if it is poisonous, ah well, such is life.
