. . . the tree shook. With each one that struck its' trunk, a few leaves would fall, while the branches would shake. There was force behind every impact. A dozen of them were already buried into the surface of the bark. Why were they there, what were they. . . "I still don't think this is the best time." Setsuna watched as she again began to pull at the shards. He was as against it as any father was when his daughter said she had a boyfriend. He wanted to undo all of it. "It's fine, no one cares. Plus even if they did, they're too busy to tell me to stop." She smiled, pulling them from her arm. She wore the same green gray uniform, only to have the top of the jumpsuit unzipped. The top of it was folded over, with the sleeves tied around her waist. A silk green dress shirt with white pinstripes would be under such a thing, something almost too fancy for the school janitor. She continued to smile, a grin that was all too pleased with herself. Her right hand held the knives, while her left arm was held against her body. Her hand was extended outwards, with her forearm facing the sky, from it, blood began to drip and fall from her hand. Her left sleeve was rolled up, while her right was not. Bandages covered her arm, only to be untied for this activity. It was not white, or tan like most common material, but rather was pink, light blue, with spots of red. It was scrap sewn and stitched together to be used again. Her feet were wrapped in the same colored manner, not matching any of her attire at all. She would again throw another knife at the tree. To her, it was like being at a pitcher's mound and getting ready for the pitch. Her throws would have mimicked the act as well. But with each pitch, she would again draw another blade from her arm. But a smile would be on her face. She no longer acknowledged pain anymore. ~ Word Count: 353 ~ |

Suicidal doors, call it Kurt Cobain
Suwu leather seats, like a bloody stain Jasmine's days had been pretty fucking weird lately. First it was the weird-ass QED drug that she, luckily, had no part in. Then the whole fiasco with Rin that made had the blonde out hunting... and then the text messages that her roommate had shown her. All of it had culminated into one angry fucking lioness prowling the streets of Musutafu. Quite often would she go to the gym to let her frustration out on the poor punching bags. So angry with herself for being incapable of finding the source of all of this bullshit, she just kept hammering the training equipment day in and day out. She couldn't even tell you how many punching bags she had actually destroyed by this point. Principal Kobayashi had actually bitched at her about it, telling her to keep a lid on her emotional state. She sighed; yeah, soldiers needed to be composed, but for fuck's sake was it difficult to get that done considering the circumstances.
Still unsatisfied, Jaz decided to do what she always did whenever punching something wasn't working or was ineffective. She went out to jog. Well, this time it was a full blown sprint for what felt like hours. Just running without no clear goal in sight. All just to clear her head and get her thoughts in order. It worked, to a degree - she was so winded she couldn't even try to think properly. Eventually, she decided to go back to the dorm, take a shower, and play some games. Maybe hang out with Rin if the girl wasn't in the infirmary doing her new thing as nurse Sophie's helper.
...that is, until she saw someone familiar. Wait, wasn't she? Oh. Oh no. It was this weirdo. Wait, the fuck was she doing at Yuuei? Furthermore, what the fuck was she doing throwing fucking knives at a tree?... why was her life like this? Why couldn't anything normal ever happen to her? Just once? Why couldn't some boy confess his feelings to her so she could "gently" let him down by saying she was into girls? Heck, why couldn't a girl confess to her so she could have some fun? Fuck it had been a while since that night with Yumi. Even a date would be fine. Just let her escape all of this dumb shit for a little while. Take a breath. Jesus, even going to lay down on the beach to get her tan on didn't sound like such a bad idea. Hey, maybe she could actually pull Rin out the dorms for some needed R&R. The thought actually lingered in her mind for quite some time... but, in the back of her head, Jaz knew she couldn't leave this alone, as much as she hated that particular fact.
"Uh..." Jaz began as she carefully approached; as far as she remembered this girl was pretty fucking unstable. The last thing she wanted was to get a knife stuck in between her eyes. Why wasn't she just restraining her, again? I mean, that felt like the logical conclusion, right? Well, apparently not, "You want to tell me why you're throwing knives at a tree? At school? Oh. You're also bleeding. Again."
Jesus fucking Christ...

Voices. Even if you cannot remember names, sometimes it was the voices that made you remember. Other people remembered faces. Kasey, was none of those kinds of people. She went off one thing alone. "Well I mean staff is allowed to use our quirks on campus?" she answered, not sure if that girl was really looking for that answer, but still, it was the answer she game. But that final word was strange, almost referring to another occasion. ". . .Do we know her?" Kasey wondered, hoping that perhaps, one of them retained the knowledge. "That girl that ran into you and broke your nose, remember? Didn't you break your arm?" Setsuna had answered the question, hoping she would remember that much at least. It would help to lower suspicion. ". . . Jessica, right?" Kasey would ask, throwing the knife that was in her hand at the tree. She was done for the moment. She would take the loose bandages around her arm and tighten then up to try and ease the bleeding. She had gotten used to making them into needles and breaking them free, but with her healing seeming to speed up, she was a bit more reckless, even if she tried to minimize damage. "I'm pretty sure I told you I'm a janitor here?" she admitted it, remembering that they had met a few days, if not the day when she got her job. Everything was a bit fuzzy. She did remember getting really drunk with some little man guy. That was interesting. Then she poured her teeth onto the ground at home. Home. Right. She didn't live with Gigi anymore. She was removed from his life because of that woman. Kasey would have fought it but she made him happy. Maybe she was a liar, but she made him happy. Would he have been more happy if he didn't know if she was Big Sister? Maybe. But that wasn't for her to decide. She told him the truth, and hoped that maybe she would admit to it all. But there was nothing for sure. All that was for sure, was the mess students left behind. The messes left behind from this horrid drug. A mess created by her other employers. ~ Word Count: 375 ~ |

Suicidal doors, call it Kurt Cobain
Suwu leather seats, like a bloody stain "Sure they are. I just don't see staff randomly using their quirks in a way that may disturb the students, if you don't mind me saying, miss I'm gonna randomly break my own arm," she said, a roll of her eyes following her words. Seriously. Why did the blonde lioness attract so much crazy? Giving the girl a quick one over, it seemed like nothing much had changed with her, either. Weird? Check. Unhinged? Check. Doing shit she wasn't supposed to based on what was considered... normal even by a weirdo's standards? ...check. Huh. How was she even alive still?
"...Jasmine, then again you can call me whatever you want, Kasey," Jaz replied, a short roll of her eyes accompanying her words. "...did you? I can't remember. Kinda had your broken bones and escaping the police on my mind. Y'know, simple stuff like that. No biggie," she said, sounding a little too sarcastic for even this weirdo to misunderstand.
"So, besides chopping up trees and causing a bloody mess everywhere, what's a janitor do at Yuuei? I am actually kind of interested. Y'know, just in case this hero thing doesn't work out for me. Looks like you're living the life." |

That much was right. She remembered that. They were much too occupied with the police, or even the matter of her shattered nose to really think about what they were saying. Even if she was excited about her new job and had gone out to celebrate, this girl would have no real way to remember it. "I clean up after heroes." she would say, trying to remember that name. Jasmine. Jasmine. Like the tea. Something she was used to boiling. Something hot. Steam. Explosions. Jasmine. She could remember that. "With this failed Quirk Enhancer, I clean vomit mostly, as well as the destruction left behind from all of the excessive use."Failed. Perhaps that was the wrong word. She had read it somewhere, that it was a failed drug. But was that public information, or something limited to her little chat room? It didn't matter. Whatever mess she left behind, she already knew how to clean up. "You'd make a good hero, you just need to keep your eyes on what's in front of you."It was a joke almost. Almost. but maybe she referred to goals, or maybe this one time, this grey haired girl had a sense of humor. Maybe she spoke to motivate her. Either way, it was a chosen selection of words. What she would interpret it as, was up to her. ~ Word Count: 226 ~ |

Suicidal doors, call it Kurt Cobain
Suwu leather seats, like a bloody stain Wait.
What?
A confused brow raise, Jasmine blinked several times, her brain trying to wrap around what she just said. Quirk Enhancer. Failed. How... how did she know this? Why did she call it failed? Jasmine's natural skepticism turned into a suspicion. A curiosity. In her mind, the blonde connected what loose dots she could find. This girl was crazy; masochistic on some level, one could argue. She came out of nowhere and became Yuuei's janitor - exactly how they accepted her was a mystery to the lioness. Then it turned out she knew something about the drug that had ran rampant in the school, causing all kinds of bullshit to come out of it. Or maybe she didn't. Maybe what she was saying was that the drug simply sucked - Jaz couldn't tell. But she needed to figure it out.
And then those words. You'd make a good hero, you just need to keep your eyes on what's in front of you. What... what did she mean by that? Was that supposed to be encouragement? Or sarcasm? The words might have meant nothing at all, honestly. But somewhere in Jaz's mind she wasn't sure. It was gnawing at her a little, like a kitten scraping its claws at a door trying to get in.
The fair-haired lioness just hummed at Kasey's words. Even if it was nothing more than a paranoid hunch, she had to follow up. If this girl knew more than she should have, Jaz had to prod. A question mark was fucking annoying. "That's true though, isn't it? I wonder what would've happened if that drug wasn't a failed one," she asked, trying to be careful about how she approached the situation. Some might call her stupid for trying to find a deeper meaning behind the words of somebody who was likely a little mentally inept. But then again Jaz knew that those who seemingly raved often knew more than they let on. New York had taught her that much. |

She was far from simple, and far beyond complex. She knew a lot more than people had believed her to. She had her hands in every cookie jar in the country of Japan. While her reach was unknown, so was her origins. She had popped out of no where and had turned up to be every where in the next few days. Why? How? "Then maybe people wouldn't get sick." She spoke it, like a matter of fact. As if it was obvious to everyone. But was it? Was she seeing the world in a way no one else did, or were all of the students too blind to see what was wrong? "There was some guy who was researching about it." she would say again, but who? "Kasey, what the hell are you talking abpou" The voice of Setsuna would chime in, wondering what this new silver hair could be causing to change. What was she up to? Why did she no longer think before she spoke? "I dunno. I read a lot. But I mean, it doesn't sound that far off. You feel good and powerful when you're on it, right? But then you get sick after? Sounds like a drug with too many side-effects." Kasey would give off a little sky laugh, not realizing what she was actually saying to her. "What was his name?"
"Whose name?"
"The smart guy? The one that does that paper thing?"
". . . What paper thing?!"
"THE GUY WHO READS THE PAPER THING?"
"ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT ON THE DRUG?""No, I'm not on the drug. It's why I brought my lunch from home, and why I don't eat or drink anything from the school. I even wear my gas mask just in case." She answered Setsuna, but spoke it aloud to Jasmine. Perhaps Kasey was rambling on, or maybe she wasn't at all. ". . . I wonder if heroes would use the drug, or would only villains?" she asked herself. "That would be one hell of a headline, PRO-HEROS USING MEDICINE TO DEFEAT VILLAINS." She lifted her hands, pressing them together and spreading them from each other slowly, as if it envision the headline in front of her. Headline. Wait, who else knew about this drug? Had it been limited to the school? What effect had it taken on the people without quirks? How long until Sato released more of that experimental cure? ~ Word Count: 406 ~ |

Suicidal doors, call it Kurt Cobain
Suwu leather seats, like a bloody stain With all that was being said, Jasmine had begun finding it difficult to sort what was fact and what was fiction. How much of this was public knowledge? How much did Kasey know? It was clear that this woman knew something she wasn't supposed to. Or was she supposed to know all of this? So many questions spun in the blonde fighter's head. So many pieces of a puzzle that was too unclear to see the boundaries of. Not to mention how Kasey suddenly began raving out loud as though she was speaking to someone else entirely. Okay, that wasn't at all surprising, if Jaz was painfully honest. This girl was clearly fucked up - the reason for it? Fuck knows. But the lioness figured it wasn't something that had happened naturally. Call it a gut feeling, if you will. But this girl set off too many warning signs in Ember's paranoid and skeptical nature.
Sitting down besides the girl, Jaz hummed to herself, "Indeed it would be... though, I wonder, would it be possible to get the real thing?" She asked, trying to sound nonchalant about the entire thing. If her hunch was correct, she'd be able to get to the bottom of this. "Maaaan that'd probably help us out a whole lot. Y'know, if we had some kind of an edge against all of these villains cropping up? Or, y'know, at the very least make some kind of anti-body for it. I don't know. Something." |

The real thing? The actual potent form of it? Or a vaccine to prevent the illness? Did she wish to try the drug? No, students at this hero academy would never willingly seek something to enhance themselves. Right? Or would that be the new normal? "They probably haven't made the real thing." Kasey speculated the idea, wondering if maybe they did. But why would the school get the drug? "I still think the school was used as a test for it, before they sold it." That made sense. To use the school as an experiment until they developed a real drug for it. Either it was for the good or the bad guys, she didn't know, or care to think about it. "I bet that inspector guy knows about it at least." she would speak again, slowly, quieter. A bit unsure of her own information. "I wonder if the school told the police about it yet. If they did, then he has to know..." she mumbled, mostly to herself. She would turn again to the girl to ask an even more curious question. "Jazzy, did you try the drug yet? Or did you want to?" Kasey was not offering, despite sounding like the single most sketchy person on the planet. Part of her asked, as if it was her job to protect the students, but the other half wondered how much of the school was really tainted by such a thing. Would she report it? Would anyone take the janitor seriously? ~ Word Count: 251 ~ |

Suicidal doors, call it Kurt Cobain
Suwu leather seats, like a bloody stain Listening to her speak, Jaz was reminded of how complicated this girl was. Or was she just overthinking it herself? She was so sure that Kasey knew something. The way she spoke about this stuff just rubbed some part of her the wrong way. But, at the same time... how could she know anything. This girl was just a tad on the demented side for reasons unknown, and she was the janitor of the school now, from what she could tell. Yeah, sure, janitors probably heard lots of shit going around but... was the blonde lioness just seeing more than there was? That was highly probably. She groaned as she stretched out and fell on her back, prone on the grass. This was annoying.
"Hmm?" She hummed out curiously when Kasey called out her name, a singular eye opening to glance at the girl. "You sound like you're offering, janitor lady," the blonde replied, a tinge of ironic humor in her voice. Quickly enough she shook her head, though, "No, I was lucky enough to avoid being affected by it because I don't really eat or drink anything from the school. My roommate and I are pretty self-sufficient and make our own meals, y'see," the blonde femme explained, crossing her hands behind her head. Today was a pretty good day; weather was nice, sun was out, it wasn't too warm nor too cold as a quaint breeze blew through, rustling the leaves of the tree in front of them, "But she and a lot of others got dosed by it," she began, her words coming across as a little more determined this time, "and all sorts of shit happened because of that."
Glancing at Kasey again, Jaz grimaced for a brief moment. The roundabout approach clearly wasn't going to work. Fuck it, might as well just ask, "That's why I'm trying to figure out who put this shit in our food, y'know? Figured you might know something..." she paused, "...do you?" |

Not only did she had a set of ears to overhear all kinds of rumors, she had a set of eyes that kept watch over far more than she was willing to let on, or maybe even had the capability to let on. She was absent minded most of the time, yet she, herself, had planned to be a mastermind to rid the world of all evil, and to take its place as the unstoppable force. She would rise to clash with heroes. For what reason? For the glory of a story. No good story started with a poor villain. She would no longer let the innocents die. She would make it harmless and fun. That was her ideal. She was going to rid the world of the stain that the evil and corrupts have left behind. After all, she was one hell of a janitor. She would remain silent as the girl went on about her and her roommate and how they were unaffected. That much was good. But to hear that she was someone who was drugged, did connect the dots for her. There was only one girl who she had heard of being drugged, and one, that led to an exchange of fluids. Having asked what it could have meant to her friend, it only meant the worse... How unfortunate. "Well, not really." Kasey would tell her, ". . . but like I said, I know this inspector. He should know more than me." Giving a shrug, she really didn't know much more beyond what she said. "I tried to figure it out my own, but I don't think they'd like me sticking my nose in things that aren't about cleaning toilets or the floor." she would admit. There was so much she could have done, but so little she was willing to risk. Even if she found the truth, what would she do with it? Would the nurse trust her judgement then? Would even bringing her employee badge from Ketsujo Pharmaceuticals prove she knew what she was saying? Would she be yelled at for not disclosing it to begin with? There was many questions, and no time for her to answer them. ". . . Perhaps you would like to speak to him?" she would suggest. ~ Word Count: 380 ~ |
