OOC: This is the final post from me until after the chapters are done in this topic. ^_^ After all I've left the vicinity of the inn.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Few belongings littered the room which she had found herself slumbering for the night. A bra was strewn across a chair, an act she could not comprehend, as she had strung it on the floor that night. Shoes were dumped on the chest of drawers. That cinched it, she had moved stuff last night without realising. Her uncanny ability to utilise the chaos around her left chilling and humiliating side-effects which ranged from moving things to murder-by-dream. Last night, she decided, may have ended in both.
The statue gripped in one hand, backpack in the other, Chibionna set out the door of her lodging and set down the stairs. Forgoeing breakfast would have been her unconscious decicion, but certain interesting activities in the inn's lobby were enough to change that subconscious mind.
She watched as many of the warriors currently in the lobby were packing up their bits. The pub area, too, seemed to be emptying. Something big was indeed happening. A call to the warrior's fighting spirit that beckoned them to the war beyond. She watched with interest as the vampire stood tall, weapons at the ready, blood-red eyes scanning the area darkly. He was certainly ready for what the battlefield had to offer.
The thing was, Chibi wasn't. Suddenly uneasy about the sudden buzz of excitement, she headed to the bar and ordered breakfast. The best of the bacon, eggs, beans, fried bread and OJ that a person could order.
The actions have started. The battle is beginning.
Chibi looked at the statue as she waited for her breakfast to arrive. "Don't tell me it's pulling you, too."
Indeed. The statue said.
But it is different for me. It is pulling in a certain direction.
"And you know what the direction is, right?" Chibi quipped. "And they don't?"
They don't believe it. Neither would you, if I told you.
Chibi thought about this for a few moments. As she thought, her eyes wandered to the outside view, of the golden fields and greenery of trees, complimented by a cloudless sky. This place was so old... It was amazing that on the far end of this place was a port for machine travel.
"If you can get into my head, this should mean I can get into yours, right?"
You can't even get into that half of your brain that controls the one you call 'Seth'. What makes you think you can get into my head?
Breakfast was welcoming at that point. The bartender was looking no better than yesterday, though his outfit was different, and certainly looked much cleaner. Chibi nodded her thankyou and handed over the money she had. As she took the first bite, she realised just how hungry she had actually been. It had been lunchtime the other day she had eaten last, with little drink. What followed that bite was scarfed ravenously into the teenager's mouth. The statue took her fill, too, drinking the orange juice to half, before Chibi could get at it to wash down the half-gorged food. Hunger had a new name. Blow them if they cared what it was.
Hunger subsided, energy refreshed, and goals in mind, Chibionna grabbed up the statue and headed out the door. Her open-topped car was still the only one in the carpark, but there were plenty of people out there, too, almost sniffing the air for the source of the battle. Chibi ignored them and hopped into the drivers seat.
You mean to tell me you're old enough to drive?
"Bite me."
The engine roared to life with a twist of the key, then soothed to a seductive purr, which made Chibi smile. This was a nice car. Slipping on a pair of crimson shades, her hand trailing to the car door to stroke at the painted metal, Chibi put her foot down and was out of the inn's viscinity within a few seconds. Smooth tracks from her own energy, leading to an open road that would take her to the port... to take her toward home.

OOC: And this is the beginning! Remember, it's the essence of the fighter in that statue you're after, but you can't take it from Chibi. So it's best not to go after her... following is a different matter.
Welcome to my head! Population: 10056, possibly more.
