Most of the time, the bangs of his gray-streaked black hair are slicked back, but the thin ornamented tail shows how long he has kept it. Besides his spear, which is more often than not folded and stowed, a large knife is strapped onto his back, making him more menacing than he had intended to be.

Tali: Played usually by DarkForbidden-Love, twin sister of Risa.

(And now the RP starts.)

Risa cursed under her breath, she was late for practice again. She had promised her twin, Tali, that she would make it one tiem for once. She just hopen Tali would understand that mom and dad had left her without means to get from the studio to the courts.

Hera laughed at the merchants failed attempts at catching her. She had been living on the streets forever, so this was not the first time she had been noticed stealing but the trill of being seen and chased had never left her. She cafefully weaved around the arms attempting to catch her and punish her for stealing.

Risa skidded to a halt at the court entrance. Tali and her team were there practicing basketball for the tornament this weekend. "Hey," she shouted, "I'll play defense."
Tali grinned, "I'll play offense. It's a instant death game, Risa, still want to play?" Of course Risa still wanted to play.

Hera heard someone land behind her. She assumed due to the sound it had made upon landing that it was actually male. She felt her grin grow, she knew this would be a good chase. She stole a glance over her should and shouted, "Catch me if you can!" It was childish and imature, she knew but if the oponent understimated her all the better.

Vyri was in the river as she stood there silently almost breathlessly.. she seemed to be waiting for something. There as she suddenly seemed to come to life as she slammed the spear she had in her hand downwards into the water. Pulling the spear back from the water she smiled happily at her catch seeing as she had speared two this time. Wading back to the river bank she pulled the two fish from her weapon and put them into a basket that had been sitting there. Closing it she quickly took the straps on it's side and placed them over her shoulders to hold the basket on her back.

She seemed to be headed back to where she lived by this time, he life seemed peaceful enough no one ever ventured this far... such a life was dreamed of by many or told about in fantasy books. Living off of the land with no reports of crime or pollution.

Isadora was rushing out of the door with a piece of toast in her mouth un-buttered a she fumbled with her bag and her keys trying to lock the door. 'shoot shoot shoot!' she thought to herself as she took a hand and moved the toast so she could take another bite and hold onto it at the same time. Once her door was locked she rushed down the one set of stairs and out of the door all the while shoving her keys back into her bag and trying to finish her meal.

She tried avoiding bumping into anyone in the middle of her rush as she walked and tried to keep her balance in heels. She was hardly what you would call graceful in fact at the moment she probably looked like a mess, her hair was coming out of her ponytail and her glasses were half off of her nose as she kept with her speed walk.. almost to the point of running.

Nathan smiled as the girl ran off. Although he saw her stealing, he had no intention to turn her in. He ran as though running with her, not attempting to call for help or even ask her to stop running. It was a simple chase to test the worth of a person, and had the circumstances been different, he would say that-

"It would be a competition worthy of note, and paying attention to it will lead the success of the company," Jon concluded. His sleepy crew looked at him with eyes of disbelief. Everyone knew about the business of energy but no one in their right mind would try to produce energy the way he had tried to convince them to.

"Sir, do you even know what you are attempting?"

"Yes, I do. People who exercise will waste energy as long as the energy they use goes to nothing. There will be good conditions, and they won't even know what they're creating something out of it."

"But sir-"

"Unless this is a legitimate concern, I don't want to hear anymore of this. Five minute coffee break, and then we can put the idea to vote. Agreed?"

The crew member paused for a bit, looking down at his empty mug. "Agreed."
The room cleared out a bit more slowly than usual, as Jon pulled out his laptop, editing details of his other long-range plans at Howard Corporations.

The game was long and brutal, with Tali's team winning. Risa looked at her watch after the first game and said, "Sorry, to come late and leave early, but I have to do a report on the Freelance society." She left the courts with a wave and, once everyone returned to the game, a sigh. She started to walk towards her home, a large estate at the edge of the city limits. Her parents would not be home for a while being out of town on business which ment she had time to burn. "Homework it is then." She muttered to herself and looked at the sky, "Sometimes I wish it would change."


Hera had always enjoyed running and when chased, her love for it only increased. Her pursuer was good, she would give him that. But she needed to lose him, it would not do to lead her pursuer to her tempory resting place. She took a sharp right then turned up a staircase to take this case to the rooftops. The roofs in this section of town where close enough together that one could step from one roof to another without any extra effort. Hera was grinning woundering if the one who chased her would take that risk.

Gene strode calmly through the neighborhood, his face buried in a book. College Physics, Stanton, Ed. 3. He flipped a page, and from the corner of his eye, watched as an acorn dropped to the ground a few feet away. Acceleration of...

...gravity, my ass! Kien thought as he thudded ungracefully into a trash mound. He was, or rather, had been, sitting on the edge of a rooftop, thinking to himself, when footsteps had startled him. But who the hell would be running on the roof?! He slipped quietly into the shadowed alleys, hiding himself from whoever it was.

he rolled over. dorian wondered if laying there for another hour counted as sleeping. he needed to have at least three to validate getting out of bed today


the run was unexpected, but not unusual. nathanial often did odd things but still. ten huffed trying to keep up and still remain unnoticed.

Jon gulped down the last of his coffee just as everyone returned looking a little more refreshed than before.

"Alright, then. Now that we're all refreshed, do you have any questions before we make the vote?"

One of the advisers raised his voice: "Why do we have to hide the fact that we're in the energy business?"

"Simply put, Steve, it's more profitable. If people understand that their energy is being harnessed and sold, then they'll want to be paid. In this way, it's easier for the company to make a profit.

"Now with that order of business complete, let's put this to vote. Say 'nay' to mean 'no' or say 'aye' to mean 'yes'."

Each one gave their vote and when Jon counted it off, he was contented.

"All in all-

"your not too bad for a runner," Nathaniel called as he turned the corner and followed the girl. However, as he was heading up the stairs a familiar silhouette shifted behind the corner, and he smiled. "It appears that you're not the only one being chased," he called again as he began to follow her by rooftop.

Hera let out a carefree laugh. She was standing on the edge of one of her favorite houses with her stolen goods. "I know I'm not the only one being chased." Her smile was confident and cocky. "I also know I'm a good runner, street time does it to you." With that she stepped backwards off the roof and hit the garbage pile with a sound thump. Quickly scrambling up she disappeared into a throng of people who had passed by.

Risa arrived at the house she resided in and was surprised to here someone else about. Her first though was robber then she relized that security alerted her that an unidentified person was in the house. It was probably one of her parent's business friends who had stopped by to see the child her parents bragged about. Risa scampered up the stairs manging to avoid whoever was in the house and sat down on her bed. Pulling out her homework she started to do it mostly forgetting about the other person.

he sighed and looked over at the clock, 9:16...only two hours and 18 minutes, wait, 9:16? 'fuck!' he threw himself out of bed, he was going to be late, he quickly tossed himself over his bed into the pile of clothes spilling out of his closet, he was massively late. isadora you punk he thought to himself, aloud he finished the thought, 'how the heck can you be an hour late on a day like this?'

he was panting lightly and one of his sandles felt loose, the clasps in the back was the only thing holding the silver in place if he lost his shoe now he'd have to leave off the chase and never find out who the mystery girl was or why nathanial desided to chase her. he stumbled at the bottom of the stairs, he paused momentarily to reclasp his shoe and wait for the others to finish their descent, it would do no good to be caught

As she ran she nearly stumbled right into some poor sole who had his head buried into a book. She stopped herself short and caught herself just in time before falling over. It was already taking most of her skill to run in heels let alone if she had to stop suddenly. The guy for the moment didn't seem to notice he nearly sidewalk kill. Going around him she looked over the door numbers before finding the one she was after and started beating the heck out of the door.

"dude please say your up! Get up I'm sorry we're gonna be late I didn't mean it!" She cried out still beating the door with her one free hand. "Please please say your up and getting dressed.. we have a test today and you know how they treat people who are late" She sighed heavily before half sliding down the door front trying to lean against it, though she quickly righted herself again. The guy she nearly run over probably noticed this odd site of a young woman beating on a door screaming for someone to get up let alone her dress was a little over the top.. but that was due to where she worked after her classes.

debating atm will edit post soonish for dream life

Hera felt the hand wrap around her arm. She did not fight it but went along with it. When she was accused of being a thief she just smiled slighly. "Sorry, sir, you might be slightly confused." He was pointing to her sack of food for tonight. "This," she held her sack up, "Is for a companion of mine, back home." Hera sighed, "She has been quite sick for a while and the doctors said fresh fruit would help." She hoped her speach convinced the man who grabbed he that he had the wrong girl. "Who are you even, I do not believe I have seen thee around." That was a complete lie, it was the same guy she had snatched a purse from last week. "Now, sir," she stressed sir, "Would you please release my arm?"

he could not find pants frantically he grabbed a peasant skirt, normally he didn't wear the dresses and skirts during school hours but it was better than nothing, he jangled and clanked as his bangles and bells caught on everything in his path 'coming!' he screamed at the door dragging himself down the stairs, he nearly fell at the door, grabbing his bag and shoes he pulled himself outside.


he reached the top of the stairs just in time to see the girl jump, he prayed to every deity he knew that nathanial would not follow

Kien said nothing but narrowed his eyes, then slowly released his grasp and took a couple of paces backwards before turning around and walking slowly back into the alley. This one...He could tail her. He wasn't called a wolf without reason.

Gene didn't fully notice he had nearly been run over until the young lady started screaming behind him. What in the...?! Tests...? He mused for a moment, then realized she actually might be in his second class. Not that he'd ever noticed her, what with being glued to a textbook at all times.

Hera would have grinned if it would not have destroyed the image she was trying to create. She knew that she would be tailed, so no returning to her safe spot right now. She needed someone to pretend to be her friend that was sick. That was actually easy enough. Hera glanced around and then pretended to creep away as though she was not being followed. She sped up, not enough to lose her tail or arouse suspicion. She was heading to an orphanage at the edge of the city. It was poor, her tail probably thought the fresh fruit was for someone of high class, but the people there saw her enough not to question her presence.

She breathed out as he came out of the door. "thank goodness I know I'm late it was a long shift last night and I was up trying to study the chapter over and ... im sorry!" She said suddenly throwing her head forward bowing to the person who had just come out of the building. "Now we have to go now!" She perked up and grabbed his hand before taking off in her panic again making him keep up with her pace. She never made any comment at all at what he was wearing knowing it wasn't what he normally wore. Between the two of them it was a odd looking couple that was for sure. Though they had been friends for forever so this was common for them to be in a rush. She was normally very punctual but today she seemed to have her head elsewhere.

Jon walked down to the faculty restroom after going through the rest of the meeting's events. For the most part, it was actually pretty normal. The company that his parents had founded was stable enough to run even without their presence.

He turned on the water and washed out his face to clear away whatever weariness he had gained from the meeting's events...

Nathan watched as the girl ran down into the crowd...and then get pulled away by another person. "Oh well. I guess I won't get to meet another new face," he thought turning back to the stairs.

"I can see you, you know."

"What!?" Jon looked around, seeing no one else inside the lavatory. "Did some put something inside that coffee? Pleh!" He spit into the sink but seeing only clear saliva, he tried to relax a little. "I'll call up my doctor after this," he thought, leaving the bathroom.

*Crash* "Ah...oops?" Ok I really hope Mrs. Kandi didn't like that vase. If she did I am so screwed! Damn the one chance I have to intern at an actual Criminal Justice Office and it is ruined!! I just step into the head honcho's house and shatter stuff, what a great impression Jane. Congrats you might make the record for the quickest internship ever, only 20 minutes! Damn, Damn, "DAMN!" Oh shoot that sounded like I said it out loud. Maybe Mrs. Kandi didn't hear that. Nevermind the footsteps of doom are approaching...
*Creeeek and door opens*
"Ms. Clayne, is everything alright, I will be with y... Oh dear."
"I'm really really sorry Mrs. Kandi I wasn't lookin' behind me and I didn't notice the vase and I'm really really sorry! I really didn't mean to break it! Honest Ma'am!"
Mrs. Kandi look slightly stupefied that I had managed that in one breath but at least she didn't look POed, that is a good thing right?

Kien darted through the alleys, occasionally climbing a ladder to get a better view. Easy. Too easy? He could throw his weapon and scare the truth out of the girl, but somehow he didn't think it would work.

Gene blinked. Really. Had he never noticed her...no, these two...before? It was shocking.

Hera could tell she had not lost her tail even as she got closer to the orphanage. She arrived at the orphanage and pretended to glance around, afraid. She then knocked on the door and Damien answered it. Hera slapped on a grin and knelt to the boys level. "Here," she handed him one of the fruits she had grabbed, the one that looked best. "Give this to Mira, I heard she wan't feeling well."
Damien looked up at her, "Hera, why you here? Missy said you only come after you steal stuff an' Missy say it not polite to steal 'ther pe'plez stuff." Hera's eyes widened, shit this was bad. Hera quickly handed the fruit to Damien and ran as quickly as she could hoping the tail would not be fast enough to catch her.

I closed my eyes waiting for the brow-beating that I was sure was coming when... "What happened mother?" whaa...
"Oh, it is nothing big dear Ms. Clayne just knocked over a vase. Now Ms. Clayne if you could come with me we can discuss your internship." with that Mrs. Kandi turned to head back down the hallway and beckoned with her finger, "Come now"
"But...umm...shouldn't I clean up the broken vase ma'am?"
Her voice echoed back "Don't worry Risa will call the maid to clean it uo, now come!" I looked helplessly at the broken porcelain and glanced up at the girl on the stairwell how made a shooing motion with her hand, well I might as well then.

he lightly sprinted down the roadway, he was pissed that he was seen but it was not so bad, he had been following the other off-and-on all week but now that was bust too. he was so caught up in his thoughts he did not see the mysterygirl cut through at an angle, they colided. 'hey! he said reflexivly grabbing at her, he only just got his fingers on her wrist than she bolted. he would not lose her, this person who had caught the attentions of his nathanial. he let himself be dragged along



sorry no color distinctuion, i am at the wrong comp and have no paitence to remake it

(Tis okay)
Hera groaned. This was the second time she had been grabbed today, was she loosing her touch? She glared at the person who dared touch her, "What do you want?" She was snarling and she knew it. Her patience was short and she wanted to escape. She still did not know if she had lost her other tail and now she was being slowed down. Sure he was moving with her but not at the same pace.

'i have, i have to know' he felt so out of shape these days 'why my sweetie was chasing you' he tightened his grip though he worried she'd bite him. 'i am not letting you go until then!'

Damn that girl, Kien thought as he loped up a brick wall onto the rooftops. He spotted the girl some distance away, but...there was someone behind her?

Gene sighed and continued on his way to the campus. He didn't start class until ten-thirty, but it didn't matter either way; he woke up early.

Aaron sat around his buddies in the mess hall after morning drill exercises. Through bites of eggs and bacon they were discussing what they were going to do with their free afternoon hours. Aaron voted to see a movie, but most of his friends seemed to be set on hitting the local mall and scouting for girls. A sound blared on the speakers, signaling the end of breakfast. Aaron looed at his food forlornly for a moment, then quickly disposed of it as he walked to morning classes

Zeph let out a sigh of boredom. He was watching his Aunts stall in the merchant's square, since he wasn't working today,but nobody seemed to be interested in beaded jewelry at the moment. He perked up when he saw a girl running, with a man tailing her. It wasn't that unusual, he had seen her before, but it was still the most interesting thing that happened all day. He then turned his attentions back keeping an eye out for potential customers.

Hera blinked and stopped walking causing the person who grabbed her to run into him. "You are talking 'bout da guy who chased me earlier on the roof?" Hera had a sudden epiphany, "I ran from an angry vendor whom I stole from, he chased me probably to make me return the fruit." Hera glanced at the wrist the held her captive and frowned, "Now let me go."

Kien crouched at the edge of the roof again, carefully and silently unfolding the long lance in case he had to use it, all the while watching the events unfold in front of him.

((short post is short. Sorry.))

Hera was unfased by the small knife she had seen worse. She lifted her eyebrow and grinned. "What makes you think I'm lying?" She whispered. She leaned close to the stranger and pretend to relax. The common person would assume that she had excepted her fate. Her own weapon appeared in the palm of her unoccupied hand. It was small, no longer than her fingers, but it would be enough to surprise him and make him let go. "What's your name?" She asked suddenly. Confusion would work to let her closer to her captor and then she could stab him to make him release her. Hera noticed her previous tail on the rooftops from the corner of her eye and held back a sigh.

Hera tilted her head and stared at the person who had managed to see through the tricks so far. "It's always a pleasure to meet another thief but it would be better if we acted more civilized towards each other." She woundered what options she had left. If he really was another thief then the trick of stepping close to him and ripping her arm out of his hold would not work. She suddenly smiled, a spectical would work. Almost everyone here knew of her as a thief and wanted to be the one to dispose of her. She hissed at him, "And if you don't I can always call you to the light."
