A small portal opened up in the wall-face of a small, abandoned apartment deep downtown Sacramento. Through it stepped a slender, feminine figure, and 'A' grumbled aggitatedly at her shadow.
"I really don't need you pestering me every five minutes, you know." She paused and let the portal disappear. removing a cigarette from her pocket and lighting it. "I enjoy the Game just as much as you do. I'll get to it when I get to it." In response, A's shadow-self tugged hard on the chains whic hbound it to her mind. A winced.
'Without the incentive, you wouldn't even need the Game···I'm here to motivate you.' A growled and ceased to communicate with the annoying shadow, then took a short puff of her cigarette. According to her senses, their target was approximately 48 meters to the left, down somewhere on the streets of Sacramento.
A fingered the gun in her coat pocket, grinning a sardonic grin.
As the bright lights of the sun shone down on her, A recalled that she had forgotten to wear contacts today, and thus, her unaturally colored eyes would be glinting as brightly as the sunlight itself right about now.
'Ha!' The shadow spoke up. 'Let them see us for what we are! You know how many people will drive themselves mad, wondering if what they saw was real···?' The thought brought an even wider smile to A's expression.
She was good at approximating 'human' through expressive features such as body language and facial expressions. It was her tone that usually screwed her over. Nonetheless, she needed to be sneaky with her target, and so she pulled out sunglasses. It was simple to slip them upon her face and scan the crowds, letting her senses guide her.
And there it was. The target they were looking for, Jimmy Fontaine, waltzing out of a Starbucks almost merrily with a bottle of water in hand. A had to draw back and admire the aura of raw insanity this man emitted. She licked her lips, for her and the shadow were hungry.
And soon, walking towards Jimmy across the street, they would be sated.
