Losing your patience, and girl I don't blame you
The earth's in rotation, you're waiting for me Jasmine had never thought she'd find herself in this familiar a situation again after entering Yuuei. Yeah, she had been to places like this back in New York. The depraved yells seeking excitement, the desperate gazes looking for some kind of exhilaration, the greedy vixens trying to gamble themselves into a life they could only dream about. She had seen a sight like this too many times. Heck, she had been a part of it too many times to count. Never of her own volition, though; as much as she loved fighting, this went against everything the lioness stood for. It was always somebody fucking up, always her needing to mop somebody's mess up. Even in Japan, that hadn't changed. Somehow her past found ways of biting her in the ass. First it was Michael leaving her alone in this world, now it was Trae up to his usual bullshit.
And as she walked into the cage, the adrenaline coursing through her veins making her unable to even register the boos and woes of the hundreds around her, she was once again reminded of how dark the world could be. The idea that a seventeen year old would be used as a form of amusement, while not entirely baffling considering what she had seen and experienced in the past, still disgusted her.
The man standing who walked into the cage after her seemed like he was twice her size, definitely in his late twenties. Tattoos covered the entirety of his unclothed torso and very visible muscles. He looked at her with wild eyes, licking his lips in a way that made the blonde's skin crawl in a way it hadn't in a very, very long time.
Sighing uneasily, Jaz tried to bite down the chill that ran down her spine. Instinctively going back to the safe mental space in her head, she started to move her body as though it was now set on automatic. She began hopping in place uneasily, rotating her neck, elbows and wrists to try and warm her body up. The gloves she had on were several sizes too large and barely fit her hand, still warm with tinges of fresh blood at the knuckles. Five minutes hadn't even passed since the wearer of this gloves went down in a bloody heap.
The announcer yelled something and the gathered crowd all cheered like hungry animals, their hands smashing against the outer edges of the cage that separated her from them. Jaz could barely register any of it. In her mind, all she heard was static, and in her heart she could feel nothing but fear as she looked directly into her opponent's eyes. Even if she didn't show it, memories of the past made her feel scared shitless.
When her opponent began approaching, so did she. Her first mistake was raising her fist expecting him to honor the fighter's greeting. Her second mistake was not expecting the swift straight that came smashing directly into her face.
------
Tokyo was surprisingly quiet at this hour. Normally you'd expect the district of Kabukicho to be loud with drunks, druggies and other pieces of shit that inhabited this place at this hour. But, strangely enough, all she could see was one or two people here and there, minding their own business as they tried to avoid her.
She snorted. Looking the way she did, she wasn't sure why she was surprised.
Holding a cold soda in her hand that she had just gotten out of the vending machine next to the closed down convenience store she was near, Jasmine crouched down tiredly, feeling bruised and broken. Her back was against a wall as the lamp above illuminated her form, her head hidden behind the hood of a sweatshirt. Everything hurt. Everything hurt so much. Slowly, almost as though something was blocking the movement in her joints, she pushed the cold can against her swollen cheek, hissing quietly as the cold irritated her damaged skin. There were cuts and bruises all over her face, the outer edges of her bloodshot right eye utterly swollen. Her lip was cut, her jaw blue.
Jasmine sighed tiredly, trying to ignore the pulsating pain as much as she could. The first fight had gone through well enough. Despite the man being several sizes too large for her, Jasmine managed to floor him within three rounds. Then not two minutes later she was forced to fight again. And again. And again. The more she won, the more people bet on her. That's exactly what he wanted. And when the eight fight approached with Jaz feeling utterly exhausted, she was told these words:
You throw on the fifth round or he dies.
Unable to say no, the normally unruly lioness did what she was told. The result? She hadn't felt this physically broken in a long, long while. And when she was told we expect to see you again tomorrow, Jaz immediately knew what she had gotten herself into,
How in the hell was she supposed to hide this from the school? They didn't care. This was on her. The second she squealed, Trae was going to die. It was up to her to hide everything.
But, more importantly... how was she supposed to hide this from her? Rin was... snoopy. No, that was incorrect. Rin was just... a person who knew her too well. She could probably tell that something was incredibly wrong even without the state her face was in. And now that she looked like she had gotten an incredibly ugly face tattoo?... Jaz was fucked. She was so utterly and incredibly fucked. Not to mention Trae. Why the fuck did he have to get himself into so much shit? Every single time. It had looked like he was doing better. He didn't frequent casinos back in New York, he no longer played poker with people he shouldn't be around with, he got off the drugs, he stopped drinking. But Michael... Michael's death seemed to bring it all back and then some, leading him down an avenue Jaz wasn't sure she could drag his ass out of.
Yet another excruciatingly heavy sigh left her at 4AM at Kabukicho. She wasn't even thinking about how she was supposed to get home. Nor did she care about what she had gotten herself into. The only thing she was worried about was how to avoid getting other people involved in what she could only consider the slavery ordeal that she had now gotten herself into. |

Tick Tock Tick Tock.
"Elise..." A masculine voice called out to her while the burgundy-haired lass was eagerly working away behind her desk. "Just a minute~" she called out with a hum as she mused softly. "I almost figured out how to make this work. Hmm if I apply an overdose of my bodily fluids into the creation process then..."
Tick tock tick tock
A deep sigh escaped the man's lips. While this particular school allowed students to spend their time after lectures to do independent research, this girl really was taking it to the extreme with her zealous enthusiasm. A security guard like him wasn't paid to watch girls play crazy scientists in a laboratory! "Did you call your parents yet?" The man asked her upon which Elise chimed in with a thumbs up. "Yep!" Wait, were they really fine with letting their daughter outside in Tokyo this late at night? "Listen now Elise, it's good to be enthusiastic and all, but it's freaking four in the morning!"
And then it happened. A small puff of smoke came from the container she had been messing with, the sight of it making her bounce upwards in an energetic manner. "HAHAHA IT WORKED!" Scooping up the vial with the silverish liquid inside it Elise turned toward the man with a grin. "I developed it!" The security guard sighed in amusement as he watched the girl gather her things and slowly make her way out of the laboratory, holding the vial like some sort of precious treasure.
"Good night Elise." The man said as he watched the girl give him a playful salute and dart outside toward the exit of the building. Once outside she gazed up at the starlit sky and found herself blinking in confusion. "Wow, took longer than expected." Humming a soft melody the energetic girl crossed the streets of Kabukicho and spotted a rather peculiar sight, a battered and bruised lass.
Unable to contain her curiosity she approached her and leaned slightly forward to look closer at her. "Wow, what in the world happened to you? You look like you just put up a fisticuff with a grizzly bear, but judging from the fact you're still standing I guess you won~" She mused with a cheerful grin while feeling an oddly familiar sensation.
Why was this so familiar... Ah right, if not for her insistence that it wouldn't work, Tetsuko might had tried to gain her unmoving heart by wrestling a grizzly bear, or do a tug of war with an elephant's trunk!
"Say..." She began, still holding the silver liquid vial in her hands. "You look like you could use some help~ I might not look like it, but I'm a student at one of Tokyo's medical schools! Well for the time being, till I transfer to Yuuei Koko I guess..." the girl mused absently before shaking her head to clear her head.
"My name is Elise~ What's yours Bear-wrangler?" Extending the hand holding the vial she hummed softly. "If you need some medicine drink this~ I promise it will heal your wounds, if not? I'll pay you my entire month's allowance~"
Poor girl, she just got turned into a guinea pig!

Losing your patience, and girl I don't blame you
The earth's in rotation, you're waiting for me She didn't intend to stay long by the convenience store. Shit was just hurting too much for her to move. This wasn't the first time Jasmine had gotten injured to this of a degree - she had honestly suffered much worse in her days back in New York. Somewhere in the back of her mind, though, she had this useless hope that perhaps her trying to lick her wounds would be enough to make herself look presentable enough that she'd be able to lie to Rin that this was nothing more than a simple fight on the streets that had gotten a little out of hand. Honestly though Jasmine knew better. Rin knew how capable of a fighter she was despite not having seen her fight first hand - there was no way Jaz would get this injured by some random thugs in an alley. She'd wipe the floor with them. The situation, as it currently stood, was more fucked than she wanted to admit to herself. There was no fucking way this goddamn cold-ass soda can would fix her up enough to avoid the earful and the utter worry that she was undoubtedly to see in Rin. She sighed; what the fuck had she gotten herself into.
And yet the pain was a little too much to handle for her to decide to go on home. 4AM it may very well be but the blonde lioness was in no condition to walk yet. When she did as she was told and threw the match, the guy went crazy on her. The ref didn't look like he was about to stop the mayhem either and he simply let the crowd 'enjoy' the spectacle of an underage girl getting beaten the hell up. That's life for ya, she thought, snorting with an amused sense of irony... which subsequently made her hiss as her ribs were utterly murdering her. Christ, this wasn't going to heal up any time soon and she had to get back into that cage of an octagon tomorrow night. Her luck was positively shining.
The blonde female, so lost in her own thoughts, hadn't even noticed another femme approach her. She was startled a little by her appearance, almost falling flat on her butt, "Jesus, don't sneak up on people like that, weirdo," she breathed out, a little irritation fairly obvious in her voice. Uh...huh? A grizzly bear? What? Jaz thought, confused beyond measure.
Tokyo Medical? Wait... there was something wrong about this. No way in hell did life just throw her a loophole. A wild card that would magically fix all of her problems. No way in seven fucking Hells. That's not how her life worked. Not in a million fucking years. With a raised brow, she glanced at the girl, "You know, nobody in their right mind would just pick up some weird-ass vial you give them out of the blue... especially after saying you're from medical. Shit may be some kind of weird-ass drug. Wouldn't be the first time."
"I'm... Jasmine. And I'm not drinking jack shit until you prove to me it's not some kind of weird anesthetic and I'll end up being kidnapped or something. Otherwise scram. I got no time for shady ass deals in Kabukicho, of all places. |

Noticing the startled reaction of the blonde female Elise giggled softly, clearly amused by the sight of it, yet the accusation of sneaking up to her made Elise tilt her head slightly to the side in confusion. "Nu-uh, no sneaking here~" Elise answered her with a grin, in the end, the burgundy-haired lass had no reason to be sneaking up to her. Elise had only one reason for sneaking, and that was when she was trying to ambush someone and those ambushes? They usually involved her showing some overly affectionate admiration for pillows, and this girl looked like squeezing her pillows right now might kill her, or lead her to kill her instead?
Hearing the response from the lass Elise raised a hand to her cheek, a pondering look upon her expression. "That's a reasonable comment, maybe next time I should put it in a soda can or something and offer it as a drink. What do you think? Would that work?" Clearly unfrazzled by the distrust of the woman she seemed more curious about whether her classmates really were so notorious as to make weird drugs to test on people, then again. Wasn't she doing the same right now?
"A pleasure to meet you Jasmine~" The girl said with a smile, the cheerfulness of her tone making it sound like she was meeting a friend or being introduced to a new classmate, yet as Jasmine continued she nodded her head lightly in agreement. "You got a good point there, if this was an anesthetic then you would likely cause me a lot of problems. I mean... how would I explain to my parents that there is this girl sleeping in my bed that they never met before? In the end, can't have you have a snooze and doze outside~"
A girlish giggle followed before she shook her head lightly, looking around in confusion. "So this is Kabukicho~ I always pass here for a shortcut but I never bothered looking into what this area was called..." A soft hum followed as she twirled the vial in her hand. "Then again, I can't really drink this when I'm not injured, right? So how about I instead show you where the source of this medicine is from?"
She paused for a moment, her cheeks flushing up lightly as she quickly added. "But you have to swear that if I do this and it works you'll have to drink the medicine! No letting it go to waste, okay?" She opened the palm of her free hand and gestured toward Jasmine. "Hand please~ I noticed but your knuckle is bruised and your wrists are showing signs of strained muscles, luckily it's easy enough to deal with."
Waiting to see if Jasmine would offer her hand, if she indeed did it Elise's fingers would gently press onto her wrist, not enough pressure to hurt, but just enough to keep her hand in place as she leaned down toward the knuckle and gently lapped at it with her tongue, soft licks that after a moment would make the bruising disappear and the damage on her skin to be gone entirely.
"See~ You're not feeling sleepy right?" Looking up to Jasmine it seemed the girl was waiting to get a reaction out of her before she grinned sheepishly. "Besides, I want to become a doctor, not a criminal~ I'd rather save a pretty lady than kidnap her~"

Losing your patience, and girl I don't blame you
The earth's in rotation, you're waiting for me You know, if looks could kill, Jasmine's tired eyes was the antithesis of the concept. She was so, so tired. Every single part of her being ached in one way or another. Mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, the lioness was a little surprised with herself at the mere fact that was still able to stay conscious. She eyed the girl whose name she could barely remember; why... how was she being so uppity? The whole act felt just like that - an act. How in the seven Hells do you approach someone who looked like she'd be simply walked around by most and act as though they were your best friend? It made no sense... and it made Jaz feel even more suspicious. Of many things. Far too many things.
"Right..." the blonde warrior replied, her mind far too high in the clouds of fatigue to be able to reply to this girl's overly friendly hyperactivity properly. Something about parents. That was nice. She wished she had parents to come back to. The one person she could come back to - she couldn't. If Rin saw her like this, Jasmine knew what the consequences would be. She had gotten herself into this mess. Bothering Rin with this entire shit show was one of the biggest no-nos she had written down on her mental list of memos.
Watching the redhead suspiciously, Jaz quirked an eyebrow as she took her hand. The second her tongue touched the lioness' knuckles, the blonde pulled her arm back forcefully. "Oi, the fuck are you-" she was just about to snap when she felt... wait. Her knuckles were burning less. Blinking like a dumbass, she glanced at her fist, a clear wtf? moment in the lilac orbs that were burning with exhaustion. The bruises... were healing. Before her very eyes, the many bruises and cuts that were on her hand were visibly healing. Was this... what? A healing quirk? Okay, that wasn't so surprising, but...
"While that's all fine and dandy, are you telling me that vial is full of your spit?" She couldn't help but ask the question.

Feeling Jasmine withdraw her hand Elise couldn't help but let out a soft groan. "No wonders doctors say 'sit still' when they start treatment." while she mused those words she looked at Jasmine's hand, satisfied with the fact her quirk was working so far. However, her smile wavered a bit after that one question was asked, a hand sheepishly running to the back of her head as she scratched it lightly. "And that Jasmine is why you don't ask what is inside medicine~ You usually don't want to know." Elise answered with a little grin before she continued. "Would you believe me if I told you if that was apple juice? Ah wait, that's not silvery in color. Perhaps it would work if I said it's a rare german import? Von Eisenberg apple juice?" Humming the thought for a question she kind of liked that way of thinking.
Nonetheless, after a moment her smile finally wavered as she explained calmly. "To satisfy your curiosity: I have a Quirk which alters my bodily fluids, in simple terms it provides a healing, purifying and regenerative effect. Just don't think too much about the last part, at most I can have your body tissue repair a little for closing cuts and the like, no regrowing arms or anything fancy of that sort."
And then came the clicher: "But yes, if I had peed in it the vial would have been yellow and you would have punched me in the face, if it was red it would had been my blood and this would had turned into a horror story, at least it's not my sweat, and hey at the very least I believe it should taste somewhat akin to apples if my guess is right. I did add some artificial flavoring to make it less disgusting to ingest, but sometimes you don't have time to passionately kiss someone to save their rear on a battlefield, right?"
She leaned back a little and mused softly. "And right now you have that look that reminds me of someone: 'Shit I'm in troubles and I can't go home because there is someone dear to me who would nag my ass off if she found me like this'. You don't look like you got the money to go to the hospital, and if you don't want to worry that person, then why not have a sip? Worst case you can consider it an indirect kiss." She shrugged lightly, finding her act nearly slipping before she hummed softly. "At least the dose is strong enough to heal most of your injuries, so nobody would know what type of wrestling you did tonight, gods know the bear will remember it judging from those injuries."

Losing your patience, and girl I don't blame you
The earth's in rotation, you're waiting for me "No wonder doctor's say..." The blonde lioness began, rolling her eyes to emphasize the ridiculousness of the situation, "You do realize that you've just walked up on a total stranger, who, by the way, looks like she's been through the wringer, might I add, and started to randomly lick their hand, right? Who in the fuck would not recoil from that?" She asked, feeling a little stupid for actually having to point these facts out.
So many things were wrong about this. Also, why was she talking so much? Christ, her ears were already ringing, her head pounding. It was almost drowning out the utter scream of her muscles trying to blow a gasket in her brain. Then, when the explanation of a quirk came, Jaz blinked almost dumbly. It took a while for her to register the given information. Alters my bodily fluids. Whether she liked it or not, Jasmine was still a teenager. And when her eyes drifted towards Elise's skirt, all Jaz would've told you as an excuse would've been well, what the fuck do you expect me to think? The thought lingered in her mind for a second too long, honestly. But she eventually sighed and shook her head. Nope. Not tonight.
"..." Jasmine stayed quiet at the last part. Shit, was she this easy to read? Last time she checked Jaz held her cards close to herself. Then again, she was hanging out by a closed down convenience store in the middle of the night, chatting to some random girl instead of going home. A rational mind wouldn't take long to connect the dots. And money? Oh she had money. So much she didn't know what to do with it, really. Fucking sponsorships. But, at the same time, going to a hospital meant questions would've been asked. And questions were something Jasmine wasn't able to answer at this particular point in time. Considering she was a student at Yuuei, said questions would've likely turned into an interrogation. And honestly Jaz was a little too worried for Trae to be able to say anything on the matter.
The blonde warrior, battered and bruised, sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time, her ribs burning from that one action alone. Outstretching a tired arm, Jaz glanced at Elise, a part of her mind going fuck it, what's the worst that could happen? as she considered the girl's aid. "Well, I'm pretty sure things can get worse, but... fuck it, give it here." |

Blinking in bewilderment as the blonde lioness began to point out the facts, a hand reaching to her cheek, finger tapping lightly against it as she pondered softly. "You got a point there, most either would recoil or have some worrisome fetish." Although she had to admit the thought sounded a bit amusing, then again she felt like even she herself would recoil if a total stranger was to do something like that, even after they had introduced themselves.
A momentary pause lingered in the air in the wake of her Quirk's explanation, while she wasn't fond of talking about it the explanation might at least help convince Jasmine that her medicine was entirely harmless, right? However, as she watched the blonde lioness her gaze drift downwards a hand quickly slid down to her skirt, pushing it down slightly while her cheeks flushed up lightly. "Yes those fluids are also included, and no I'm not going to offer a drink from the tap." Her statement half a jest and half of a flustered scolding Elise finally shook her head to clear out the thought and the equal amount of embarrassment she had inflicted upon herself by answering that downwards gaze!
Once more things had gone quiet, waiting to hear the decision of the lioness while she still held the vial in her hands. Although her guess had seemingly hit close to home, at least judging from the silence she had no idea what had been going on in Jasmine's mind. Would she finally be convinced that the medicine was harmless and that accepting it would be in her best interests? A nod came from Elise at the blonde warrior's remark, handing over the vial and taking a step back, a gentle smile lingering on her lips as she folded her hands behind her back and looked with a clear hint of expectation at Jasmine.
Considering it was a full vial only made less than a hour ago she was certain of its potency, with so much concentration of her saliva the dose would be enough to cure whatever injuries Jasmine was suffering from, but in return Elise did notice that the potion had taken more effort to make than normally, it actually left her feeling tired and lethargic now that the initial rush of excitement had worn down. If Jasmine would decide to drink it, she would quickly notice that surprisingly enough the liquid would go down quite easily, no doubt the result of the experiments the girl had done on it, but at the very least it wouldn't taste disgusting, in fact it would remind one of the flavor of the sap of an apple! apple sap, apple juice? An odd thought for sure but hey! at least it cured her wounds for free.
Raising a hand to her mouth the young lady yawned softly and stretched her arms up into the air. "Well~ I came here for what I needed, so with that done I think I'm going home to sleep, school tomorrow. Hope you have a safe trip homewards Jasmine~"
The girl stated with a grin and a wave as she seemingly was preparing to leave unless stopped.

Jaz, too tired to even attempt stopping the girl, simply accepted the vial and remained seated. So much bullshit had happened in the span of only several hours that she was way too emotionally and physically exhausted to bother stopping the girl or even arguing with her by this point. She had already explained how her quirk works; showed it, even. Far be it for her to reject this gesture even if it sounded a little disgusting to say the very least. Shrugging her shoulders, Jasmine simply stared at the item offered for her before carefully uncorking it. She stared at the liquid, the very peculiar scent attacking her nostrils. She stayed like this for a few brief moments before something in her mind clicked and a loud fuck it resonated in the confines of her skull. Without further ado, she reared her head back and downed it on one fell swoop.
The liquid, albeit having a really strange taste, went down fairly easily. She wiped her lips before tossing the glass item into a nearby trashcan. She waited one minute. Two. Three. Nothing. At least she thought it was nothing. Without even realizing it herself she had regained enough energy to be able to stand again. Then, before long, she felt some of the pain she felt all throughout her body received. Blinking curiously, she stared at her bruised arms, eyes widening when the wounds began healing right before her very eyes.
It didn't take long, but very soon Jaz was feeling well enough to go about five more rounds in the ring. Huh. This shit was pretty effective. What was the girl's name? E... Elise? Something like that. She'd have to remember her lest she got herself in some bullshit again. Shoving her hands into her pockets, Jasmine slowly began walking towards the train station.
At least explaining to Rin where the fuck she had been all night wouldn't be as annoying as she thought it'd be now that she wasn't looking like a walking corpse.
