Caught in the act! [Alegretto]
« on: April 09, 2014, 09:47:06 pm »
Deep within a dark corner of the Cancer, in a rather run down part of the station inhabited mostly by drunks and delinquents, Kyori had made her kill.

The man had been easy prey, smelling heavily of booze, but Kyori had targeted him specifically in the hopes that he wouldn't be missed. These parts housed the human dregs of society, after all, and who cared about them? Apparently not other humans, which was something Kyori had picked up over her time here--and something that perplexed. Humans were such odd creatures, really, and it was a wonder they had survived long enough to advance so far when they didn't even care for their own!

It would never happen in her own clan, this...this tossing aside of the weak and old and ill. It was disgusting, really. And yet, right now, it benefited her. Who was she to care about how humans treated their own people? Perhaps, if this was how their society worked, she was doing them a favor by culling the undesirable.

Doubtful, of course. It was strange, for she had learned that they cared an awful lot about the killing of their own, even if they didn't care about said dregs when they were alive!

Bizarre. Utterly bizarre. But whatever. Right now, she feasted. She'd worry about disposing of the body later.

Crouched over the body of a slain, middle-aged man, Kyori sank her teeth into the flesh of his arm and fed, ears laid back and tail lashing back and forth with pleasure. She was alert as she fed, though, ears straining for any noises, just in case. But it had been clear when she'd dragged him here, and hopefully it would remain such.

Beside her sat a small backpack in which she carried some basic amenities. Currently, a pile of napkins she had swiped from a local restaurant were sitting on top of it, and a lidded paper cup of water she'd gotten from the same area.

It might seem strange, since she was currently tearing into raw flesh, but Kyori was particular about her feeding.

She didn't like having a messy face or hands, and she was careful and dainty as she ate, because she also didn't want to ruin her clothes: a long skirt and a simple tank top. There was nothing special about them, really; she just liked being clean, and, you know...blood splatters would be suspicious.

The bouncer lifted Jacob rather unceremoniously by his collar and removed him from the bar with a tremendous throw. The musician scrambled up from the dusty metal floor and shouted several obscenities at the retreating figure as he closed the door.

So much for free speech, he thought. A few choice comments about some nearby xenos and an honest human gets thrown out like yesterday's trash. The world just wasn't fair.

Wearily, he stumbled down the dimly lit corridor rubbing his aching behind. Why couldn't people see what a threat they were? Humanity needed to rise up and deal with this problem fast, before they overran the station like the vermin they were.

He followed the corridor for a while before coming into one of the larger plaza areas. Tall buildings jutted out from the station walls and blocked some of the already limited number of artificial lights. He sighed. He hated living in these run-down districts in the station, but it was the best way of avoiding the security forces. That was something he needed to do right now.

He go about halfway across the plaza before he ducked into one of the corners between two buildings. The alcove went back surprisingly far, and seemed to terminate in a dead end.

Seemed to. In actuality, there was a hidden maintenance tunnel at the end of the alcove that Jacob frequently used as a short-cut to avoid some of the rougher parts of the area. He'd found it while thoroughly exploring the area. He always did thorough reconnaissance of any place he lived, identifying little-used passageways and escape routes just in case.

He turned the corner that led to the tunnel with blithe unconcern. He'd never encountered anyone in this particular alcove. Until now.

He stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed something moving at the end of the passage, shrouded in the low-light. Another man would have thought noting of it, but Jacob's paranoia forced him to take precautions.

The musician quickly stepped back around the corner he'd came around and placed himself against the wall. He pulled out his com and poked it's camera around the corner. The piece of equipment was old and outdated, and it still used an ancient hard screen, but it suited his purposes fine and even had a night-vision filter.

Jacob switched the com to the camera function and turned on the low-light setting so he could see better. He stared hard at the screen, trying to identify the source of the movement. Paranoid thoughts ran unchecked through his mind as he zoomed the camera in. Was it a security bot? Someone who wanted revenge? The thought that it could be some random mugger never really crossed his mind.

It was, however, none of these things. He traced the movement to a crouching figure he saw looked similar to a human. It wasn't though, and it's similarity only made it more monstrous. It had a massive tail, and parts of it's body were covered in shimmering fur. It seemed to be feeding on something, and with revulsion, Jacob realized that it appeared to be crouched over a human form.

He quickly clicked on the video function of the camera, letting the device record the awful spectacle. Here it was, proof that xenos needed to be destroyed! He was eager to take in the sight with his camera, but when he actually looked at it, the view made him retch.

Unfortunately, the strangled gasp that he emitted unconsciously was louder than he would have liked. Worriedly, he looked again at the com's screen. What he saw chilled his heart. ((OOC: Sorry, minimal god-moding here, hope you don't mind >.<))

The xeno seemed to be staring straight at the camera. It could have been a trick of the light, or one of the musician's paranoid fantasy's, or it could have been real. Either way, Jacob took no chances. He took off frantically away from the corner, unfortunately kicking an empty bottle as he went. The clattering sound it produced made him jump and he ran faster.

That xeno had looked like a predator, and it's choice of prey was obvious. He didn't want to stick around.

OOC: SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! <3

Though Kyori fed neatly, she also fed quickly. Though she was in a secluded alley, it wasn't that secluded. You were never truly alone in this hive of humanity, and she knew she needed to hurry, because the longer she took, the higher the chance of being caught. If this man had found this place, surely others would, too.

And so she hurried, stuffing her face and going for the meatiest bits. His arm was fairly decent; good meat on the bicep, and she was hungrily tearing into it when the slightest of sounds--a faint click--made the hair on her tail bristle and her ears twitch. And then, unmistakably, she thought she heard a gasp.

...Oh shit.

Turning her head, teeth stained with blood with bits of meat between them, she stared toward the noise.

And that was when she saw him. Or part of him, at least, for he was holding a camera around a corner and she could just barely make out part of his body as he peered into the recorder. Kyori felt her blood go cold. She was being filmed, and with her staring straight into the camera like an idiot, he had gotten everything. Every bit of evidence he needed to have her locked up and--probably--executed. Not that he even needed her face; she hadn't seen another Iannu on the Cancer, and it was highly unlikely she ever would.

Of course, that was all only if he managed to get the evidence into the right hands.

That wasn't going to happen.

Jerking to her feet with a snarl that looked even more vicious with the blood on her mouth, Kyori whipped around to fully face him, her tail lashing behind her. "Destroy it," she growled as she stalked toward him on her long, strange legs. "Now. Or I'll destroy you."
