RPG

It's morning, sunshine enters a room through a small, oval-shaped window. The ray of light stops on a bed, under it's blanket a slender woman is lying. She is wants to get up, but is still obviously trying to overpower the urge to close her eyes and return to sleep again. After some time of ungraceful turns and fighting with the covers, she manages to break free of the sleepy grip. She stands up slowly, revealing yellow pajamas with several cats on it. She spreads out her arms, stretching lazy, her eyes still half-closed. Her short, black hair same as the previous day, has no need of brushing or care nor does the girl seem to care, so she heads to the fridge. She takes out a pair of eggs, which a few minutes later, end up hard boiled as her breakfast on the table. She doesn't seem to be very interested and is more playing with them then actually eating, slashing them apart with the butter knife. After finishing she doesn't bother to take care of the dishes (or mess) that she left behind. Walking up the the wardrobe she strips out of her current clothes. The inside of the wardrobe could be considered... unique. All that can be found in it, are kimonos of different styles and colors and many red lather jackets all looking like the other. The girl takes out a blue kimono as well as one of the jackets, quickly putting on both. While the choice of clothes is a little bit strange this scene shouldn't be considered extraordinary, if compared with the morning of many other young girls. But actually, it is, it's very special. After all the girl here isn't in some flat in the city or a house in some small village. Her current location in fact, can't be found somewhere on the ground, but in the sky.

The girl's name is Alice Fujiin and she is aboard the SkyRaven, a flying fortress serving as a battleship for the Union of Seven. Just as most of the Union's military power, it's main objective to hunt down unregistered superhumans which are considered dangerous. Alice isn't just some passenger on the ship, no, she is much more. She is part of Gungnir, a team serving under a high ranking officer with the purpose of hunting down said superhumans as well as completing other kinds of missions. And right now she was on her way to that high ranking officer, Colonel Manami Saito. That also caused her bad mood this morning, Alice while capable of following orders did not really like them, especially if they involved getting up early. Putting on her brown boots (which made her look tomboy-ish) and picking up a combat knife for the desk she leaves outside, closing the door behind her.

The SkyRaven feels more like a city than an actual battleship. Everywhere there are people, all of them going after their own business. It wasn't just work that found it's way there, many of the man and woman living on the ship also participated in many free activities on the ship. There are many shops which one could visit, not just to buy things but simply to look around. Cinemas, theaters, restaurant, gyms and several courts and domes for different sports, the SkyRaven had anything that someone could wish to do. Of course right now, Alice had not time for any of that, but on the other hand, it wasn't like she would like to visit anything that can be found on the ship anyway. She simply did not find any excitement or joy in any of those things, sometimes she would go and see some of the fencing matches held in one of the halls, but even that entertainment did not manage to hold her down for long. For Alice there was only one thing that made her heart beat faster and send her blood racing through her veins, a fight to the death. She didn't simply want it to be a fight, she wanted it to be a slow, bloody fight where both sides would slash at each other till they couldn't stand on their feet anymore. And then whoever won, could slowly take the opponent apart, limb for limb, rip open their stomach, splatter their guts all over the floor and then listen how the cries of pain and agony slowly pass away, just as the victim's last moments of life. Just thinking about such a scene made Alice grin. One would say that someone like that shouldn't be in a team that tries to protect people, but that is not exactly true. Alice never thought of doing such acts of violence (at least not of that degree) to some innocent passengers, she restricted herself to only the targets she received as a mission (or those she hunted down on her own, but in the end it did not matter as they would have been targeted by the Union sooner or later). That made her very suitable for a job like that.

But she did not have time to think about that right now. "What a pain in the ass!" she proclaims, placing one heavy step after another. All the time while walking she plays with the knife, throwing it from one hand to another, not paying attention to the people around her she might injure. "But i guess i have to do something for my fun." She grins while saying so, probably losing herself in the thought about the "fun" she is going to have. To her pleasure she arrives at her location before noticing. It was a one of the many rooms that served for conferences on the SkyRaven. She was already used to going there and could pass the various metallic doors in her way even with her eyes closed. Everywhere she could see "Fear, Tyranny and Oppression... Nevermore!", the mantra of the SkyRaven. She repeats it with bored sarcasm, smirking to herself as if mocking the words and what they stand for. It wasn't like she really did not believe in something like that, she rather didn't care. She would stick with the Union as long as they provided her with what she wants, but beyond that had no sympathy or loyalty for it. Alice still played with her knife, with only one hand this time, scratching her head with the other one. Now, to her dismay, it looked like she had to wait as the Colonel is question wasn't there yet. Alice lets out a sigh, letting her gaze swing across the room. Then she noticed something strange, the room looked different. It didn't take long for someone to spot the object or rather person that caused Alice's surprise. Besides her, there was a large muscular man sitting in the room. His appearance could be described as strange at the very least. A white coat covering a good part of his body, but the lack of any shirt exposes his rather imposing chest. Large golden bracelets hugged his arms, his skin dark and hair light blond. A man you could find in even if you place him in the middle of a million people. Alice takes a few steps forward...

"Who the heck are you?"

Alice looked at the man, with a dumb expression on her face, as he introduced himself. "A team? To hell with it..." she yells as she crosses her arms just a little bit above her belly, the same way as a spoiled child would do if it was denied a wish. She should have actually known about her team members and the team Gungnir as well and she was actually informed about it, but... it wasn't something that stuck in her head. By the time of her first fight, everything about Gungnir and her allies was long forgotten, nor did Alice really care about it. She vaguely remembered the name Miguel, but knew nothing beyond that about him. If this was someone else, he might get embarrassed that he had just met someone who knows so much about him, yet he himself knows nothing about the man, it was a logic conclusion when it came to manners. But this wasn't "someone", the girl standing there in the kimono didn't pay any attention to that at all as if it didn't concern her. On the other hand she wasn't perfectly fine with the idea of a team though, after all the others might get in her way when she plays her "games". In the end if forced to do so, she would obey, she would curse, swear, complain, but she would obey and make the best out of it. Alice was pulled out of the thoughts when her new "friend" started yelling around, slamming his massive fist against the table. Alice didn't react to it, other than a "humph" did not leave her mouth. "You go get the colonel immediately and tell her I'm out of here if she wants me she knows my number. I'm sure the Deadliest Maid and the Void can take care of this by themselves!" she hears the man called Miguel talk again, as he takes his leave. Then the slender woman burst out into laughter. "Muscle-head should cool off a little bit." she says as if to mock him. Alice was surely just as inpatient as the mountain of a man was, but she was certainly above outburst of rage (of that kind at least) and didn't take them serious. As soon as he turns his back to her, Alice notices something, the man said "the Deadliest Maid and the Void...". It was obvious for Alice who "the Void" was, but the other part of that "duo" did not fit in her brain.

She turns around to see a young girl, probably around her own age sitting on the chair right behind her. It was one of those strange situations, Alice while in combat could tell how many flies were in the area around her let alone human targets, yet in everyday life, she failed to notice when someone new entered the room. The girl was dressed in a maid uniform, her hair pale just as her skin. Looking at Miguel's words, Alice concludes that the girl must be another team member. This time her reaction can be considered... different, from that towards her more muscular male teammate. Alice observes the girl, holding a playing card, for a few seconds. Her eyes trace along the lines of the girl's body, as if she wants to draw it in her mind. Then she literally dashes off, as if she was in combat and about to strike down a fleeing enemy. She stops herself just a little bit away from the maid's face. She plants her hand on the wall behind the chair and brings her face as close as possible to the girl's face without touching it.

"Ain't you a cutie, how about it, wanna have some fun?" Alice says so in a tone, more passionate and serious, contrasting her usual bored and casual way of speaking, while touching on of the maid's cheeks with back of her hand.
