Chizue was bored.
Not just bored, but royally bored. Even her room had an air full of boredom, which made Chizue feel it even more.
Normally, she could spend weeks alone without even minding the silence, although she didn't prefer it. In the last hotel, Hagrid and the other employees had complained to her often, and she discovered she didn't mind the noise. But something today made her want to go outside and do stuff. She had been outside before but she hadn't gone done something since she had began her trip.
Laziness or vigilance, your call.
It was risky, but she concluded that if she was quiet and fast, she could work it out. Maybe going to a cinema, or a café, or maybe even getting a haircut. After cheering herself up with thoughts about going outside, she eventually chose to do all three. It had been a while, and even though Chizue hated spending money, she decided to spoil herself today.
So what first?
After leaving her room, she decided for the café, since it had been such a while since she had been in the sun so fully, without having to really worry about Shinsengumi or angry people chasing her.
While the redheaded woman strolled down the street she noticed a quaint café and after looking around checking for suspicious people, she decided to go order something inside.
The café looked nice enough, but it was obvious that time and a lack of money took it's toll on the simple café.
As soon as she entered an old woman greeted her and motioned for her to sit down. It was a simple café with a few boots, several loose tables and a door leading towards a kitchen, if the slight plume of smoke was to be believed. As soon as she sat down in one of the booths, the elderly woman approached me.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"I, uh, would like some tea," Chizue said. Damnit why? She hated tea.
She nodded before turning to another customer in the booth beside Chizue's.
"And how can I help you, sir?"
"If I could have some water please,"
The woman nodded before retreating through the door. The redhead looked at the one who ordered the water and felt her breath escape her.
Hello beautiful~
Said male was looking in the distance, and probably listening music, if his giant headphones were any indication. This guy had freakin' teal coloured hair, and the weirdest fashion taste I had seen in years. Suddenly his gaze suddenly focused on me, and even though I couldn't see his eyes through his sunglasses (who wears those inside?) she felt his gaze burning into her own.
Unsafe.
His gaze alone made her feel as harmless as a butterfly, and Chizue immediately wanted to hightail out of the café. She wasn't one easily frightened, but he sent her an aura she couldn't just shrug off. It was as if he was intentionally sending her all the fricking bad intent he had in him her direction, while doing nothing but calmly staring. Unbeknownst to Chizue, she had unconciously grabbed her axe lightly, and when the teal haired man had noticed, he felt the need to send a warning towards her. And as he listened vigilantly to her tune he noticed something quite odd.
How peculier.
Unknowing of what to do, Chizue briefly waved at him and diverted het gaze to something safer, like the potplant in the corner of the room, or the Amanto eating all kinds of dango on the table to my northeast. When the old woman strolled nonchalantly through the door, I felt tension rolling off me as he turned his burning gaze towards something else. She felt the exact spot where his gaze had been pointed at still smoldering and shivered.
Chizue took a sip and almost spit it out when she felt her tongue getting burned. She gulped the drink down and laid down some yen (not nearly enough) before calmly storming out the place. That guy gave a very unsafe feeling, one she tried to avoid if she wanted to keep living.
After walking/running further away from the source of her unease, she took in some fresh air.
'Eh, I want to go back to the hotel'
But then her entire venture out of the room would've lasted no more then a half hour, and Chizue hadn't been freely oustside in days. She had constantly ordered food to be brought to her room so she could stay inside. Chizue wasn't a solitary being, but even though she was quite sassy, she was also very afraid of getting caught.
And even though she was still hesitant, Chizue knew that she needed to stretch her legs at least a little, or at least get a little sunlight.
And so she went to the cinema, thinking no one would even notice her there. It would be dark, and if she chose a cheesy romance, or a boring documentary nothing would stand in her way. It completely disregarded her previous statement, but in the end she didn't have the guts to go anywhere else.
Nearing the cinema, she noticed a long line standing in front of the sales booth. Already groaning a master plan popped up in her head.
'It wouldn't be noticed, right? No one would care about one person slipping in? It's not that much money, right?
All these thoughts clouded her head, but whatever conscience she had was obviously not working since she had already slipped in before she could reconsider at least once more. Since she had not actually seen what was airing, she just stepped in the one that seemed the most abandoned, she told the ticket employee she had already given her ticket to one of his colleges, and that she just had to go to the toilet.
'Hook, line and sinker,' Chizue thought as the employee made way for her to pass.
She sat down in the darkest corner, just three seats behind the couple making out. They were obviously not here to enjoy the exciting movie. In fact, she had no idea what movie she was going to watch, just like the couple. The room darkened and as she saw the first proof that this was the start of a horror movie she knew she made a mistake.
Chizue hated horror movies.
She liked to portray herself as a badass amazone chick, fleeing from a corrupt government who was hell bent on getting her back to a magical tower with a dragon. But in reality she was just a scared sassy woman with an axe. Nothing more nothing less.
But this scared, sassy woman had a particular dislike for horror movies since they make her look so incredibly harmless. She would start shaking, shrieking and curling up all because some bitch ass ghost would inhabite some cabin full of teens.
The protagonist of this particular movie moved down the obvious cursed hallway of the castle where three orphans hade comitted suicïde. Chizue was already shaking in her boots, and she knew she had to get out of this cinema, before any really spooky shit was to occur. A mirage of one of the orphans was shown on the screen and Chizue contained a small shriek.
"Are you alright?"
