At least they had the decency to drop her in Palermo and not in, say, Once. You’d think megucas wouldn’t mind getting mugged, but it’s still (to most of them) a very unpleasant experience in most other fronts regardless. Grabbing her head like a drunkard waking up, Jimena is already finding sentience to be a burden as the sounds of the city annoy her even more than usual… but she’d still rather deal with the cacophony of Buenos Aires than be dead and fight nothing at all.
The Violet Tower. The Order of the End. The Blue Gates. The Three Stooges.
And that hurricane of cats in Uruguay she saw through Helen’s eyes.
>Off to Villa Soldati.
Whatever this apocalyptic clusterfuck leads her, she’ll need a Grief Seed- shit like this is why people start smoking. It ain’t easy when the world is ending and your beloved papa is about to be butchered and you can’t even care enough because you’ve been drugged with magic.
ᕙ Jimena: Reeaaady-up! AAANND-
>>ᕙ (M5 Magical Affinity λ Roll: 15 = Failure)<< (Power Up.)
…aaand jack-shit. Jimena ends up rolling on the floor with a killer cramp on her right leg, trying not to whimper. Passersby glance and hush and tell each other that drugs will leave them like that too if they let them. ‘At least it’s a good morals’, Jimena thinks as she stands, sweating.
ᕙ Jimena: Fuck it.
She’ll just run anyway, very sure that, as the peace magic wears off, her utter dread of losing her foster dad, the guy who lied for years about not needing dinner, will devour every other thought. She wallruns up the nearest wall up to the roof and runs and jumps and transforms, her mythic brown sweater dancing to the wind
but she’s still clumsy.
she’s still stuck in her mind and worries.
Despite it all, she still trips and falls,
>>ᕙ (M3 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 23 = Failure)<< (Travel quick through Palermo.)
and before long, on an empty football field for rent, a chain flies by right under her chin.
Two black,
One green,
One red,
and the usual duo.
Toys.
Jimena hesitates. Caring less had always made her life easier.
This time, thanks to Hush, it’s making it harder.
