ㅤㅤ•° alas, the thief was still fast asleep.

ㅤㅤ“Hey.ᐟ Who's there.ᐣ.ᐟ“

ㅤㅤ•° came a shout from a policeman, a few meters away from the pair of vampires. He was with two other policemen, and the trio was fast approaching.ᐟ

ㅤㅤ“Let me repeat, who is there.ᐣ.ᐟ“

—definitely garner some attention.

"Shit." She grunted, moving to gather her stuff before shaking Cerise, "Hey, wake up!"

ㅤㅤ•° still asleep. Actually fell from her standing up pose and laid on the ground, snoozing peacefully.

ㅤㅤ“Mm .. Pinkie, give me back my hat ... ”

ㅤㅤ•° she mumbled in her sleep, completely unaware of Malaya's eyes on her. She does not want to be aware, it seems.

She soon put on earphones too, deciding to atleast get to five laps, maybe six if she still felt good, but after her third—

Malaya groaned and took a second for a break, glancing at the other vampire...

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 15h

ㅤㅤ•° she leaned against a wall, placing her whole body weight on it. She seemed incredibly sleepy.

ㅤㅤ“Wake me up when you .. hh ... ... ... ”

ㅤㅤ•° and she's dead to the world.

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ“Take a run round these blocks, and then do a plank for one minute. We'll start easy.”

ㅤㅤ•° she opened her phone and showed Malaya the map, circling around a block of buildings.

ㅤㅤ“Got that.ᐣ Now, meanwhile, I'll ... hrm ... “

Just some simple jogging pants and an elbow-long sweater with running shoes and her hair pulled into a high ponytail. She looks pretty relaxed and looking at her more, she seemed in good shape though she will probably need some more muscle.

ㅤㅤ•° so, she pulled out a stack of 10,000 yen from nowhere, and waved it in front of Akemi.

ㅤㅤ•° it was the redhead's own money, of course.

ㅤㅤ“I hope you don't mind losing a few bucks for charity work. Bartend.ᐟ Another cup of long island, please.ᐣ”
ㅤㅤ

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 19h

ㅤㅤ“I suppose I'll just have to change targets.“

ㅤㅤ•° she was not desperate for money, seeing as she still had some in her void, tonight she felt like being a Robin Hood. Taking from the rich, giving to the poor. She always feels like being Robin Hood, if she's being honest.

ㅤㅤ•° the magician looked at the woman incredulously, side-eyeing her while drinking the long island ice tea, finishing it with the next gulp.

ㅤㅤ“Bartend-“

ㅤㅤ•° oh, he was gone.

ㅤㅤ•° oh, her luck.

When the bartender ushered away, she continued.

"...even if the act of speaking is, and will always be, free of charge."

A soft giggle followed her words, as she slowly got up from her stool, putting her coat around her shoulder.

ㅤㅤ•° one gloved hand tapped Malaya's shoulder, and the blonde head attached to the same body smiled at her.

ㅤㅤ“Too tired for training, dear.ᐣ”

ㅤㅤ•° she was wearing her usual outfit, except for the top hat and cloak.

ㅤㅤ“I can't blame you, I'm tired tonight too.”
ㅤㅤ

ᜋᜎᜌ | Malaya @babaylang-malaya.bsky.social · 2d

"Man, Denji ain't home. Hmph, I guess I'll just make extra dinner if he comes in tonight." Malaya mumbled, back to her semi-mundane life.

...

It was late again at night and she can't sleep so like always, she's off on a walk to clear her head despite her exhaustion from work.

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 1d

ㅤㅤ•° and kept quiet for minutes on end. Her mind wandered to crime, eventually. Perhaps she could rob someone rich again tonight, but she ran out of names.

ㅤㅤ•° ... perhaps the lady would know.

ㅤㅤ“Happen to know any big wig mean rich men around here.ᐣ”
ㅤㅤ

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 1d

ㅤㅤ•° but none of her thoughts would be polite to say, so she simply let out a sigh, and continued with her drink.

ㅤㅤ•° ‘ So you work in the red light district.ᐣ ’ would be one way to offend a woman. Instead, she settled with,

ㅤㅤ“I see,”

ㅤㅤ•° she does not like assuming things—if she doesn't like people making assumptions of her, she would rather not make assumptions of other people—though this time she couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Her side got away with only a few injured: dancers, bouncers, bartenders.

The only ones who didn't walk away were the perpetrators themselves.

ㅤㅤ“If you've been alive for 600 years and still need to sleep regularly, you're definitely doing something wrong.“

ㅤㅤ•° she playfully poked Malaya's nose with the tip of her finger, before transforming into a bat, and flying off with a wink.
ㅤㅤ

ᜋᜎᜌ | Malaya @babaylang-malaya.bsky.social · 3d

"You must be exhausted." She moved closer, holding her phone out, "Maybe we can chat for our first training session, yes?"

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 3d

ㅤㅤ“Anywho, we should get you back home ... uh ... apartment.ᐣ I assume.ᐣ”

ㅤㅤ•° and she needed to go back to her cheap hotel before midnight, or else they're closing the doors and she'll have to climb back in.

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ“I can fly, electrocute people ... that's it to be honest.”

ㅤㅤ•° she turned back at the sound of Malaya's worries, doing a little curtsy afterwards.

ㅤㅤ“I'm much more flexible as a human, honestly ... It's almost funny.“

—&—

ᜋᜎᜌ | Malaya @babaylang-malaya.bsky.social · 3d

She moved closer, gasping, "Wait, shouldn't we be worried about anyone seeing you like this?? Perhaps you can turn back now?"

ㅤㅤ“Okay, on a count of three. One ... two ... ”

ㅤㅤ•° and fwoosh.ᐟ

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ“We are in a restaurant, miss.ᐟ“

ㅤㅤ•° the chef tutted at them again, and she shut her mouth.

ㅤㅤ“Sorry.”

ㅤㅤ•° she took one of Malaya's hands and dragged her to the payment counter, paid, and walked outside up to the top of a small apartment building.

But to see such a familiar thing in a foreign land? She'd love to see it!

Additionally, teleportation, creation, and summoning...

"That is insane... You're practically a mash of top three chosen powers. You have to show me!"

ㅤㅤ“What about you yourself.ᐣ Sauntering around in a bar this late at night.ᐣ”

ㅤㅤ•° she let her mouth run, an easy smile finding its way to her face, though it only partially reached her eyes.

ㅤㅤ“Wearing nothing but ...

ㅤㅤ...

ㅤㅤ... is that a lingerie ... .ᐣ”

ㅤㅤ•° turning to disbelief.
ㅤㅤ

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 3d

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ•° the phantom thief hesitantly took the woman's hand, and shook it twice. She noticed her gaze changed, but rather not cause a ruckus this early on.

ㅤㅤ“Likewise.“

ㅤㅤ•° perhaps her age was catching up to her – she felt an odd stiffness in her body. A drink tonight might be a mistake.

—&—

˚₊‧꒰ა 𝓐𝓚𝓔𝓜𝓘 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ @red-beauty.bsky.social · 3d

Akemi's eyes widened as Cerise's voice skipped a couple octaves, expressing concern of Akemi's gaze.

A sly smile spread across Akemi's own lips.

"Name's Roppongi Akemi." She said gleefully.

"Pleasure to meet you."

She reached out her hand, the offer of a handshake feeling friendly.

ㅤㅤ•° shuffling cards idly. Surely there's something to do today.
ㅤㅤ

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 4d

ㅤㅤ“I can teleport here and there, create things out of my hat, summon a demon, and transform into something like a ... er ... what is it called again ... right, a manananggal. Kind of. I split my body in two in that form.”
ㅤㅤ

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 4d

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ“Eh ... Probably a gravestone. Umbran gravestone. Of someone I knew.“

ㅤㅤ•° or, partially knew. The woman as a young girl would often bully her relentlessly. When Cerise found the gravestone with her name, she had to curb the urge to destroy it on the spot.

"What can you do exactly in terms of abilities to be able to be this amazing thief?" She was curious. Who wouldn't?

Sure, she loves her mundane life but being curious never hurt anyone and bit by bit, she was getting more and more curious about her new friend and mentor.

ㅤㅤ“The vampire part ... not so much. I'm a dhampir, so I'm immune to sunlight, but I still have to drink blood. Kind, healthy humans taste nice, but the criminals I usually hunt are foul – I only use them to water my briar roses.”
ㅤㅤ

✦ 𝕻𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑵 𝕯'𝑶𝑴𝑩𝑹𝑬 ✦ @stealthtempo.bsky.social · 4d

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ“The thief part is enjoyable. I like being on the news, all the attention, the niche fanbase. All of that is fun.”

ㅤㅤ•° she smiled boyishly, reminiscing on all the time she flunked a certain inspector's attempts at taking her down.

ㅤㅤ•° then, the smile fell.

ᜋᜎᜌ | Malaya @babaylang-malaya.bsky.social · 5d

"...hey, do you like being like this? I mean...being a vampire and a thief and such..." She asked all of a sudden, looking over.

ㅤㅤ•° alas, she was a bright blonde, and the words came out higher-pitched than intended, with a wavering grin and childlike impatience.

ㅤㅤ“Cerise O'Siodhachain.”

ㅤㅤ•° she tilted her head.

ㅤㅤ“Who am I talking to.ᐣ”
