For the most part things had been relatively quiet in the alley was in the dark back streets of Tokyo this evening. But the further one might dig they'd find that the silence was a facade of what truly took shape deep within the maze of intermingling paths. Things promised and promises broken would explode in painful consequences. The tussle of trash cans and banging of debris being tossed about as a person dried out in pain that would unlikely reach most ears that may have helped. But most people even so kept to their own business in this end of town.
The body of a suited man was throw into the metal trashcans giving a sound of pain and ache. His suit case taken from and riffled through by one of the two suited yakuza goons standing near the woman in the red dress. Papers strewn about and the leather case tossed to the side when they seemed displeased with any of the findings within it. The woman scowling from it as a swift kick and stomp from her black heels collided with the man's jawline sending his head flinging back and blood spewing from his mouth as he spit out a tooth.
"Didn't anyone teach you about paying your debts? It's not smart to borrow money if you can't afford the interest." She'd say in a less them empathetic tone. Snapping her black gloved fingers as the two men proceeded to beat on the man as if either punishing him or pushing him to think faster on a way to temporally set his debts aside.

301 words @tag / notes Stubbornness issues. That's what her mother had always accused Yuuki of possessing-- stubbornness issues. One would think that, hey, you're paralyzed from the waist down as the result of your hero work, right? That means you're going to keep your pretty little nose out of other peoples' business, right?
Wrong. Though Yuuki's legs had betrayed her, she was still a hero at heart, which meant that she was incapable of ignoring any injustice at play before her eyes. She just... couldn't charge into the fray quite like she used to.
She was on her way back from karaoke, a little buzzed, but rather content with life. The wheelchair zipped along the empty sidewalks, and Yuuki sung to herself under her breath, all smiles. It had been a good night. She was ready to get back to her apartment, curl up on the couch, and watch brainless t.v. shows. That is, until she heard the crunch of metal and an undeniable grunt of pain.
That... warranted investigation, at least. Yuuki pulled at one of her wheels, taking a hard right as she came to the mouth of the alleyway, following the sounds of a fight. It was too dim to really discern facial features, but she could make out the dim outline of a man on the ground, and multiple people standing around him.
A woman's voice caught on the wind, terse and dangerous, the specifics of what she said caught on the wind and lost to the marble-shifter. What could the marble-shifter do?
"Excuse me?" she called, waving her hand, "Fine alleyway people!? I'm calling the cops."
She reached around the back of her chair, digging around in her purse with one hand, while her eyes remained trained on the four figures. Hopefully that would be enough to deter them...

The woman snorted a bit as she looked up hearing someone approach. A supposed do goodder that didn't know their place in society and to keep their nose out of Yakuza business. She'd give a nod to the two man to move towards the girl to try and stop her as she Nori growled in light irritation at the interruption as if Yuuki was the one in the wrong here. "Please, I have enough police in my pocket where a small debt collection isn't gonna do anything but waste both their and my time. But if you try and waste my time like that and call for them you'll just make this fool suffer even more." She'd say pulling on the man's arm yanking him somewhat lazily to a upright position. Pulling off one of her dark gloves and pressing a flat palm to the side of his face as it seemed to become more distinct and sharp in its features. A rock like cracking sound heard as moments after a sizzle as the man began to hiss out in pain fighting but on able to resist so much. Her hand as it seemed to appear to harden also began to light in a flame. The sound of flesh sizzling and popping like a mutton chop to the fire. "Toss me you're bag and I stop cooking him." She'd say giving her men a side ways glance with her good eye as if yo imply something.
One of the goons rushing the girl there after trying to grab her to quite literally yank her from her chair if he was able to get a hold on her or not in making the attempt. The other man would be rushing towards her chair trying to get a hold of her back and if he was able to do so try and yank it away to insure she didn't go about doing anything stupid like actually calling for the police like she threatened mere moments prior.
All the while Nori would only continue to cook the man's face as she gave a insulted scowl towards the crippled would be hero. The smell of burning flesh would smell as if steak cooking. Likely making ones mouth water and salivate on reaction. The man's screams and struggles were weakened already as he had taken a beating before this. Meanwhile Nori's eye looked upon Yuuki waiting to see how things would unfold as she looked insulted this person had stuck their nose in her business. the Narumi family didn't take debts lightly or people that got in the way of business. If this person truly cared hopefully they wouldn't up much resistance as if Nori kept it going to long eventually she'd end up searing the man's eye shut and burning flesh beyond repair.

278 words Full-shift... 1 / 3 posts. This woman was either really stupid or really powerful, because her answer to Yuuki's announcement wasn't to change her behavior or bolt, but to brag she "had the police in pocket". And then proceeded to burn the side of the guy's face without even waiting to see if Yuuki would comply. Well, they'd just need to test her theory, wouldn't they? She dialed 110, and hit [Send]. Even if she was telling the truth, neither the police nor the woman would know that they knew each other until they got here. And Yuuki would happily tear-down some corrupt cops in the process. It was kind-of a two for one deal.
The operator on the other end of the line began her usual script, but Yuuki wouldn't answer. She knew that they would ping her location and send someone to investigate.
The b***h demanded that Yuuki hand over her purse, and one of the goons charged. Yeah, f**k that.
"That's not very polite," Yuuki remarked, "Not even giving a chance to hand it over-"
And that was all she said before she devolved into marbles. It seemed as though the girl folded-in on herself, leaking out the sides of chair and roaring into the alley, the mass of glass marbles charging fast and staying low. Yuuki would have been content to keep them captive with conversation, but the charging goon propelled her into action.
The marbleous mound rushed at the woman, surging-up between the man and the woman before trying to balloon outward and push the man free of her hold. She churned and raged and didn't relent-- because what was fire to glass, which was forged in fire?

The two men rushing the girl missed their target fumbling over each other and over the chair as well taking it and themselves tumbling towards the ground. Nor herself feeling a bit of disgust at such failure and foolishness. She may have attempted to scold them if not for the fact the marble rush and mount of small marbles came rushing for her and the man in her grasp she'd taken to burning moments before. " So the little crippled look was hiding your real tricks? Hmph, You're playing with the wrong people girl." She'd say tossing the man to the ground and crossing her arms trying to throw herself in front of the marble rush to try and hold it back if she could so nothing helped her current prey escape before they finished this little message. If Yuuki continued to soar and collide with Nori she'd find something far worse then the soft thin body of the Yakuza princess to collide with. Nori's good eye briefly had a bit of flame burning from it as in mere moments her body hardened to the density of coal. A flame slowly covering her whole body as well as she appeared to have rough defined features forming on all her exposed skin. Smashing into her would have chipped and cracked at some of her armor if Yuuki had chosen to remain on course. But smacking into Nori's armor and cracking it came with a cost in times like this. Her flames inflicted burns to anyone that touched her in this state. Anyone she touched or that touched her had to deal with the burning flames scorching whatever they touched. Curious to see how this strange power interloper would choose to respond in the face of Anthracite. " You're brave I'll give you that, But kinda stupid as well." She'd say in a scornful tone trying to see if the woman would bash into her with her abilities trying to show her what real burning was like if she did so.
Hardened Coal Skin: When summoned her bodies carbon build up begins to harden and blacken the skin all over her body. Everything becoming hardened like coal. Making her body durable and able to take a stronger beating then it normally have be able to. The surface shifting from soft flesh to hard rigid coal. [Durability]
Coal Fire: When her Hardened skin is formed she can begin breathing in deep regulated breaths able to start burning some of her coal to form a fire like aura that gathers around her body. Adding a flaming aura around her rock hard skin to burn those that come close and try to break the rock. Or those she gets close to in turn. The fire itself if they come in contact with her body or if she lands a hard blow on them causing burns on her foes. [Burn Effect]

221 words 2 / 3 full-shift Yuuki would have smarted-off with a retort, but she couldn't speak in this form. The marbles fluctuated and churned, pressing against the dark-haired woman and prying her free of her victim. As soon as the man was released, he scrambled to his feet, a sob breaking from his lips. Yuuki rushed after him, breaking away from the dark-haired woman.
The goons were charging back towards them-- f**king idiots-- and Yuuki swept parallel to the ground, creating a layer of marbles. She charged past the man, and swept around the feet. The goons slid on the layer of marbles, and the world around them tilted as they slipped and fell. The marble-mass stopped at the mouth of the alley, some of the straggling pieces falling back into place. The mass lingered there, fluccuating pensively.
Her widened field of vision enabled her to watch the retreating man, and watch the gangbangers in the alley. If she bolted, she wouldn't be able to ensure that the cops could find them. But if she stayed, her shift would end and she'd have to fend for herself. This was her life they were talking about, though. The marbleous mass rushed at the wheelchair, pushing it backwards. She could move quicker in this form, put some distance between her and the criminals, and then re-form somewhere safer.

The man ran from the scene which briefly caused Nori to scoff in relative anger and irritation at the interference by the would be do gooder. The smell of burning and or cooked flesh though still lingering briefly in the air. The had a rough mark that likely would stick for him for the rest of his life. If she had to guess next time he'd be sure to have the cash he owed ready in hand. If not... Well she'd just not be as nice next time. They kept a close eye on all the accounts and owed debts. Escaping today wouldn't mean he was free. A truth he likely was painfully aware of both mentally and now physically as well.
"Sneaky little bitch, That's a clever power but how long can you hold such a form I wonder?" She'd say with a bit of relative anger as a few cracks hidden under her clothes began to slowly reform folding back into place as she felt a sore sensation lightly set in where the marbles had barraged her. She could only hope this interfering bitch could still feel burns in this odd form. Her body had taken a bit of a hit but her coal hardening slowly reformed as she took a few heated angry breaths. Her eyes briefly turned back to her thugs that had been tripped up and send looking like fumbling fools by the marble horde. Her good eye briefly noticing the chair not far off as a speculation came to mine. In her anger reacting on impulse she called out in relative anger at her goons.
"Get the chair you shit head, The cripple will need it sooner or later. I'll handle the marble case!" She'd say in relative anger gritting her teeth gnashing her molars together. Enraging her flames trying to rush at the marbles unsure exactly how she may have been able to harm it. Trying to reach out and she if any of it was tangible to try and grab it and allow her flames to try and burn the marble core and or just keep it distracted briefly as to not interfere with her commands. She wasn't sure if it even have any effect but in her anger she'd settle for her goons at least succeeding even if this had no effect but she truly hoped it did.
Mean while her goons picking them selves up didn't quite get it as fast as she'd have liked but in a few moments they moved as she acted. The two goons with her moving to the chair and picking it up. In reacting tossing it together if they weren't stopped into one of the larger nearby dumpsters set for dumping waste from one of the business nearby. If they weren't stopped in this they'd follow it up by slamming the lid down and quickly trying to join their boss's side trying swipe and reach out to see if they could get some sort of hold on the strange marble entity before them.

396 words ft. nori narumi Rolling the wheelchair in reverse was less than ideal, but it was the only way she could propel the chair in this form. Just as the young woman reached her chair, the two men lifted it from the ground and deposited it into the dumpster. Well, f*ck. The marbleous mass churned indecisively. She was running out of time. And she couldn't leave without her purse and her wheelchair. No way.
While the men were preoccupied with hampering her escape, the marbles surged out onto the sidewalk, out into the open. In a way, she was not only protecting herself by being visible, and in the open-- she was also preventing them from leaving.
Why, on God's green earth, had she left the taser in her bag, which was on her wheelchair, in the goddamn dumpster?The marbles seemed to congeal and take form, in a matter of seconds, leaving a young, silver-haired women sitting, fully-clothed, sitting in seiza.
She had to be smart about this-- for, as the villain was well aware, Yuuki was paralyzed. She couldn't run. She couldn't really fight. Even sitting in seiza was a ruse-- she'd topple over if she moved too much.
"Nothing sneaky or clever about it, lady," Yuuki said in a singsong voice, "Who in their right mind would look at a silver-haired twenty-something and think that there wasn't a Quirk involved? Anyone who's cracked open a history book knows that 'black' was the hair-color of choice in pre-quirk days."
She surveyed the villain, "If anyone's sneaky, it's you! You've got the total incognito package. Black hair. The eyes could be a giveaway, but who could be that observant, at a distance?"
She smiled, "So that has to make me wonder-- you've got the makings of someone who can operate totally incognito. You've got goons, which means you've got some power, right? So why is a business-savvy individual such as yourself conducting business in alleyway, where no-account do-gooders, such as myself, can happen upon your dealings?"
Like, an upper-echelon criminal would conduct their business in private. So she was either part of a larger scheme, and not the woman with all the power, or she was just not the sharpest tool in the shed.
There was not a note of malice in Yuuki's tone. She took the airs of someone who was genuinely interested in what the other woman had to say.
And, let's be honest, she was just biding time.
ooc notes: Start cooldown, since didn't use full shift 1/2

She snorted a bit walking closer towards the woman sitting in a readied state as Nori's flesh began to seem to soften as the hard rock textures faded and the low heat flames begin to fade from her figure. Her goons looking at one another trying to get a bead one what happened or in fact was going to happen in the coming moments. Adjusting their ties eyeing the girl with an irritating presence as well. Feeling a little embarrassed as well as angered as to how they'd been made to look thus far in the small altercation. " I guess should have expected it was one of you freaks who don't know your place in society... You fools who don't know how to use power. Sticking your nose where it doesn't belong." She'd say running a hand briefly through her short black hair. " I don't think you could pull off black hair anyway." She'd say with a snort. She couldn't help but smile at the balls on this one. The sheer audacity as they asked questions as if they had some right or ability to get answers. The power behind it and the attitude kindled a small flame of arousal in Nori's cold cruel heart. " Personal touch, When you take care of things personally from time to time people know not to fuck around with you. A goon can send a message, I send the whole package! As for the do gooders.." She'd say tapping her chin looking up to the sky in a almost innocent fashion as she seemed to think putting on a small show as she said. " Ichibarou, How many of those wannabe heroes have we killed now? At least a couple dozen right in these years running things?" The man snickered not far off. " Roughly that, Everyone wants to be a hero boss. They just-" " Forget that heroism doesn't always stop a bullet." she'd say in a rather cheeky grin. Slowly she'd try to work her way closer and closer in soft steps and clicks of her heels on the ground. Her allies following behind her but keeping a fair distance their hands remainign close to their jackets and near the chest. Presumably to be ready to use their weaponry should the need arise likely hidden to keep them out of normal citizens sight. (Example of goon apparel) Once Nori had gotten close enough though without her quirk active using her normal body she'd tried to throw a sudden kick to see how this woman would react. Trying send her heeled shoe into the the side of the girls cheek to see if she had any fight left in her or if she'd go toppling over like some other wannabes they'd dealt with before. "Are you just a nobody do gooder? Or do you actually have some skill to come play with the big dogs?"
