Who: Miki and Her Shadow, after the fight, whomever wants to speak to either of them!
What: Acting like adults
When: Dark Hour
Where: The Streets of Prospero
[The final night in november and Miki is out prowling for shadows. After a few weeks of not having her own alien body snatching double, and also getting beat up by Kaiji's shadow a few days ago, Miki and Ares have been somewhat less gentle when taking out shadows over the past few nights.
It is not long after, though, that she is approached by a shadow that does look oddly familiar, though she is dressed a bit more maturely and her hair is cut shorter and is not tied back. Shadow Miki's golden eyes scowl at Miki when she finally notices her presence.]
Miki turns to the shadows with a somewhat more excited smile than she really should in this situation,
"So, my evil doppelganger has finally appeared, I've been waiting to meet you."
The shadow gives Miki a somewhat exasperated look and sighs, heavily.
"Will you just stop this? You know exactly what's going on. It's time to stop pretending this is some sort of movie."
Shadow Miki's tone is more polite and calm then Miki normal fast paced chatter.
"Don't try and fool me, evil-"
"OH just STOP it!" the shadow snaps back at Miki, "Maybe instead of pretending this is a movie for once, you can stop and actually try to understand a situation."
"What are you tal-"
"Or maybe you can just try and beat me up, since you never really could solve any problem without your fist anyway. Of course, I'm not a more successful person who you need to try and push around to make up for your own failings in life."
"There's nothing wrong with my life right now! I have plenty of fri-"
"HAH! Friends. They are only around because they are scared you'll beat them up if they do decide to actually tell you that they think that you're an immature waste of a person."
"HEY! That's not tr-"
"Oh, maybe I could hunt down one of the other loser guys here and actually be nice to them. You know, it's pretty pathetic that at 20 you've only been on one date, with that loser of a neighbor. Of course, you'll just attack me for that too, since you can't stand to see people more successful than you be happy."
"What are you-"
"Oh don't act that way with me, girl, you only hate Kaiji so much because he's going to end up happy while you're going to end up alone, just like your mother."
"That's not true at all! He's going to get someone hurt! And don't call me g-"
"Girl? Why not? You act like you're 12 rather than the adult you are. You probably don't even know how to act responsible. Heck, you were the one that abandoned Saori and left her along with Kaiji in order to go off and fulfill your girlish fantasies of being a hero."
At this point, Miki looks rather agitated. Her face is tightened into an angry scowl, her first clenched to the point where she is about to draw blood.
"I SAID STOP CALLING ME A GIRL!"
The Shadow laughs and moves into her own fighting stance. It is a lot more closed and graceful than Miki's regular stance.
"Ahahaha, Oh Miki, I just knew that this would come. Now I'll show you how to fight like a real adult."
Immediatelythe shadow calls forth Ares and the two of them charge Miki. Quickly, Miki call her persona and the two battle for a few minutes, but it soon becomes abundantly clear that the shadow has the upper hand in this fight. While Miki's movement are quick and haphazard, tinged with the rage biuld up from the conversation and days of things not going her way, the Shadow's movements are calm, as her and the persona only strike occasionally, when Miki lets her guard down enough for a brutal strike from her shadowed version. Eventually the Shadow lands a blow that knocks Miki into the air and into a nearby pile of trash. The Shadow spits at the now unconscious Miki before she walks off, laughing to herself.
"A fitting place for you to end girl. This is all you'll ever amount to."
[For the rest of the night Miki will be out cold in a pile of trash in an alley, unless you want to come and wake her. If you want to run into Miki's shadow, who is just wandering around for the rest of the Dark Hour, just say so and I'll have
corruptedramen show up for a little chat.]
