=== Be the albino
You are the albino, but your name is actually Karkat Vantas and you are currently in line at the Leijon Café. You come here every day to get your usual black coffee and plain buttered bagel for breakfast. Like always the bubbly and energetic cashier you find annoyingly endearing is taking orders for the line next to yours. She was cute if you had to say so yourself but still childish; the thought makes you scowl like usual. You didn't actually know her name but you figured she was pretty fragile considering she had many bruises, some old some new, but you just brush it off. You recall a time she was the waitress, she was moved to the register for constantly tripping over peoples feet so you figure she's just clumsy.
You hear a voice calling to you saying they can take you in their line; it was the energetic girl.
"The usual I purrsume?" You learn she rolls her 'r's, you find her slightly more unpleasant upon this knowledge. You shove some white hair from your face, ignoring the itchy sensation from your new contacts.
"Yeah thanks uhh..?" You stop, you don't know the girls name. "Oh," she holds out her hand to shake yours, "Nepeta, Nepeta Leijon. And you're welcome…?" She waits for you to give your name but your jaw just goes slack.
Leijon, her parents must own the shop. You clear you throat and let go of her hand. "Karkat Vantas." You say in a grumpy manner, per the norm. She just nods.
"Okay, Karkat, well your coffee and bagel will be over there and I really like your hair, do you bleach it?"
This compliment catches you off guard, people thought you hair was weird, hell you thought it was weird and you hated it… being different that is. It takes you a moment to collect your thoughts and you shake your head slightly before speaking.
"It's natural… and thanks, Nep." You hear her giggle before giving you back your change. You walk back over to where your food would be. You are about to head out the door with your things when you see someone pull Nepeta in the back, you decide, against better judgement, to stay and see what happens; out of curiosity of course.
A few minutes later a girl with Nepetas stature comes out in a skin tight black and olive green motorcycle suit and helmet, and damn she was hot. The girl turned she was hugging and saying goodbye to the other cashier. You figure Nepeta was probably talking to her boss so you leave and head to your car.
There in the parking lot is the incredibly hot bodied girl with the motorcycle gear, walking over to a black and green Harley that matched her attire; the Harley you parked next to this morning. You began to walk over to your car watching her remove her helmet; she had short milk chocolate brown hair that looked as soft as feathers, probably softer. You watch her turn and see big bright olive colored eyes, Nepetas olive coloured eyes. Nepeta was the motorcycle girl.
You attempt to make it seem like you weren't looking but she sees you and calls you over.
"Hey Karkat!" She beams.
You nod and wave walking up to her bike. She picks up a red helmet and holds it up for you. "Wanna ride?" She giggles out. You would love a ride.
"I would but my fucking cars here, I didn't really walk like normal." That wasn't a lie, you do normally walk. Why didn't you say yes? You mental kick yourself for not saying yes. Nepeta purses her lips then smiles. "How about once around the block, then I'll bring you back and give your order for free tomorrow?" She bribes, wiggling the candy-red helmet once more.
"Fine." You grumble. What, it was free food, not like you're gonna pass that up. Nepeta perks up and squeals before shoving the helmet towards you and putting her own on before helping you with yours. She gracefully swung herself over the bike, much more gracefully than you had done getting on after her.
"You may want to hold on to something, I don't use the busy roads." You sense her playful tone, this worries you and you grab tightly onto the seat in front of you. She pulls out of the parking space and stops at the back exit.
"I have to stop somewhere quickly is that okay, it'll take ten minutes at most I purromise." She says nervously, you just nod your consent and she turns back to face the road. You feel the bike beneath you jerk forward into motion. Nepeta lets out an excited yell as you try to bite your tongue to stop yourself from screaming in fear. You immediately let go of the seat and grip Nepeta like she's your new lifeline.
She went fast; you now understand why she doesn't use busy roads. She was a really good driver, but you kept your eyes closed until you heard Nep kill the engine.
"Karkat we're here and this will take a lot longer if you insist on clinging to me." You notice your face is currently pressed to her lower back, your arms still wrapped so tightly around her you're surprised she hadn't passed out. You swiftly let go and hop off the bike after her. You see you are at the 'Alternia Hunting Woods' this deeply worries and intrigues you.
"Nep what are you doing here, these guys are going to laugh at you." You gesture to some red necks with large rifles in the distance. She just laughs at you and proceeds. As you and her approach said red necks some would high five her and talk to her, others would cower in fear. This is all very confusing as all you see Nepeta as is an innocent four foot high Barbie boll, it feels wrong. She ignores her other peers and proceeds to the counter.
"Hey Equius! How's the archery training going?" she beams at the highly muscular and sweaty man behind the counter. "It has been going well Nepeta, aside from the broken bows; I assume you would like your hunting documents?" Your jaw drops to the floor. For one, this guy was probably the most formal person you had ever met, despite your initial judgement that he would be a jackass. Secondly, Nepeta hunted, she did not ever seem the person to hunt, nor did she seem the type to ride a motorcycle either. Today was just full of surprises, great.
Nepeta nods and Equius says her license and documents should be ready in ten minutes. The door jingles to accept someone new into the building. He was large and looked angry his face was red like his beard and what little excuse he had for as hair and seemed to have a permanent scowl. "He must be new; I've never seen him here before." Nepeta declares, beginning to walk over to the large man who was most likely four times her size.
You sit back and observe much like the other patrons do. You watch as she holds her hand out for him, he just frowns harder at this. "Hello, you must be new, I'm Nepeta and-" before she could finish he swatted her hand away.
"Do I look like I give a damn little miss? Why don't you just leave before you get hurt?" You began to get up and defend her but some of the men stopped you and shook their head, signaling not to intervene. Nepeta smirked at the man.
"I suggest you adjust your domineer before I need to teach you some respect for women, sir." The man scoffs
"What's it to you what I do bitch?"
"The fact that Equius, the fine man behind the counter is my cousin, this is his establishment and I'm sure he doesn't want to put up with an attitude like that." Nepeta retorted in a calm manner before speaking again. "Tell you what, beat me in a fight and you don't have to be polite, and if I win, you apologize to me for calling me a bitch, and you will treat the people here with respect or you will leave."
"You're on bitch; I hope you have fun in the hospital." Nepeta shrugged at his remark and walked over to you, handing you her helmet and earrings. You would be lying if you weren't completely freaking out about Nepeta getting injured because of this ass hole. You don't quite like the idea of her face being rearranged, considering you think her face is pretty and you like it. She tells everyone that if they want to watch that they can come to the training room and sit on the benches before she grabs you and pulls you towards the building herself.
You sit between the men who stopped you before and overhear others placing bets on Nepeta, or rather 'the Huntress' as they referred to her.
Nepeta skipped over to the man and smiled brightly at him. "Would you like to play fists or knives honey?" She giggles out; the man just states he would feel bad stabbing a little girl, even though she was a bitch. He chooses fists, you look at Nepeta and she looks slightly dejected, like she wanted him to choose knives, this makes you feel even more worried for her. you get up and sat next to Equius and asked him why she would even ask to use knives.
"Nepeta enjoys the new claws I made her two weeks ago, she doesn't exactly hunt like the rest of us, all the men use rifles and shot guns. Nepeta doesn't, not because she can't though." He smirks at you, now you're even more confused than when the other men were afraid of her.
Suddenly the large man swung for Nepeta, but instead of hitting her gut he missed completely. She had dodged his advance and flipped over his shoulders and onto his back with all the grace and precision of a cat. The man was stunned. "Come on, is that the best you have?" Nepeta teased with a mock pout on her face.
The man growled, grabbed her hands and flipped her off his back, but all that did was set her back in front of him instead of laying on the ground like he planned. The man bent down to swipe her legs but she wrapped them around his neck and flipped him around and onto the ground before swiftly heel dropping him in the gut. "Had enough yet love?" She teased.
You watch as the man picks himself up off the floor and chuckles before pulling out a switch blade. "You better be feeling pretty sorry you can't fit a knife in that little suit of yours pussy cat." Suddenly all the men watching laugh as if they had just heard the funniest joke in the world. Nepeta smiled.
"Knives, no," a faint click and the unsheathing of metal was heard, "claws, yes." The man stood terrified at the little girl before him. You are just as freaked out when you turn to Equius for an explanation and he just smiles at you. Three metal claws protruded from each of Nepetas hands, giving her a wolverine type look. The man pushed his knife towards her, only to have his arm twisted and face scratched by Nepeta; she had broken his wrist, not to mention his face which looked like it would need at least thirty stitches to fix the three new and bloody marks across his face.
"Done yet?" Nepeta said, picking at her nails in boredom, could this really bore her? To you it looked like something out of a movie. The man weakly nods before Nepeta smirked and roundhouse kicked his side, effectively winding him and knocking him to the floor. She crouched down to his level and smiled brightly at him.
"Please, treat the patrons and staff of my cousins' establishment with respect unless you want me to teach you it again." And with another click her claws were gone. You now understood why some of the men were afraid of her. The men who won their bets cheered for Nepeta as she walked over to you and Equius. "I assume the licence should be done, come on Karkitty let go get it and then I can get you back to your car."
You and Equius trail behind Nepeta as she happily walks back to the main building. The walk is silent and slow until Equius speaks. "Don't worry, she won't do something like that to you; she doesn't hurt people she likes. Even her boyfriend was afraid at first."
Boyfriend. This makes your heart sink, though you're not sure why; you really only learned Nepetas name today. You still can't help feeling a little jealous. Nepeta gathers her documents and license and drives you back to the café, pulling into the same parking spot you left from. Luckily when you get in your car the coffee and bagel you got aren't cold. Nepeta knocks three times on your window, holding some paper in her other hand.
"This is my cell and that's my pesterchum handle, if you have trollium it's the same handle; don't be afraid to talk to me. I think you'd be a great friend and well… I always scare people off." She smiles weakly and you promise to talk to her later before you both drive off in different directions.
