The other side of the mirror [Mitsukai/Open]

[seishounohana]

This is for Mitsukai, and anyone else who wishes to enter. Just let 'Tsu post first, k? K.


Emily didn't know why she was feeling like this. She had assumed that it was merely some sort of depression; maybe some could regard it as that she stopped caring for her own well being.

Maybe she had stopped interest in pursuing what she wanted? It could be connected to the idea formed in her mind that she never really got whatever she wanted and yearned for.

Understanding.

A Selfish but reciprocated Love.

... Oh well, that's life right?

Right.

No one around though, to witness Emily at this state. Her blank gaze staring out the view from the school's rooftops, only abruptly stopped when she basically started ripping off a rather thick cut of meat with her teeth. It could be called a rude way of eating if it weren't for the fact that she was eating it completely raw.

Yes. Emily had a thing for raw meat. It was evident at this moment, considering that she was slurping at the cuts of flesh, and basically had several more on her lunchbox.

Pork was the closest thing there was to human flesh, and that was the only way she could fulfill this urge to maim and destroy while remaining somewhat socially acceptable.

Now, would this secret get out?

It was possible, considering that the door opened and...

[Mitsukai]

...Out popped little Mitsukai coming for a relaxing break on the roof. She simply stared blankly at Emily for a moment...

Was she eating a chunk of raw meat???

No...it couldn't be.....and yet she could not deny the scene before her very eyes......

<.<

>.>

.......weird......very very weird.....

Perhaps it was time to leave..........

She was about to turn away and walk off when suddenly she lost complete control of her body. Her right eye flashing Crimson as now Nami took her place on the roof. The psychotic personality watched the other woman, her head tilting to the side curiously as she watched her chewing away.

"Does that taste good?" she asked amusement evident in her voice. Now this certainly was interesting. Only someone who was at least somewhat mental would be doing something like this. This school had it's fair share of the insane but in the few times her other half had meant this kid she never would have thought she was crazy too.

[seishounohana]

"Does that taste good?"

Emily turned her head towards the door, holding chunk of meat, dripping with blood, by her mouth. After a short pause, she would press her teeth onto the flesh, ripping it apart before chewing shortly.

It was a small silence that she had to make before she replied. Thing is, Emily wasn't completely mental -- it was just that Emily was most certainly just a girl whose had terrible things happen in her life, some of which were self-inflicted.

Masochistic? Maybe so.

She swallowed and took a breath. "Not a word of this anywhere, miss." She warned, her expression blank but her voice was rather... stern? Or was it slightly cautious? No one could really know or understand, at least.

Or at least, she assumed that it was so.

"... but no, this doesn't taste very good."

Yes. Some soy sauce would've been awesome right now.

I'm serious!

[Mitsukai]

"Not a word of this anywhere, miss."

Nami simply raised an eyebrow at this. Like she would say anything to anyone about this. She was more of the rip your heart out while laughing manically kind of person. She was not much of the talkative type. Besides anything she did say was never kind, Kevala and Gabriel could testify that much.

"... but no, this doesn't taste very good."

"Seems like fun though." she smiled sinisterly watching the blood dripping down her chin onto the ground. Yes it did seem rather amusing eating raw meat. Nami never really ate anything, her light normally took care of such basic needs for her. All Nami ever did was kill.

[Matrim Gallagher]

Matrim let out a whistle as he took a good look from behind the specs, "It appears you've been getting stronger," He said looking rather funny, but hey, this wasn't all about looks. It was about how well it worked, he raised the goggles to his forehead as he walked up to the two who were at the roof. As he did he looked at Mitsukai, and quickly lowered the goggles on her.

Hmm... she's starting to get there.

Matrim had spent the better part of the day humming the ghostbusters theme song, but finally stopped when he made it to the roof. His initial plan was to test the range of these specs, which wasn't amazing enough to see from a rooftop, but he had to know his boundaries. With the different lenses he did have some range though.

"And may I ask why you are eating..." He looked and took his goggles off again staring at Emily, "Please tell me that's not human dripping from your chin.... and if it is please tell me it's not a student...."

Matrim suddenly felt slightly sick to his stomach as he looked over at the two. His hand went over his mouth a little as his eyes were focused on it.

Something here seems very..... off......

[seishounohana]

"Seems like fun though." Emily watched the girl carefully. Of course, she had seen her with Kevala several times. That day when she gave birth, that time when she almost killed herself because of Gabriel...

Emily would hold her cut of meat with one hand as she took another and offered it to the girl. "Have at it." She said, as she took another bite of the piece of flesh.

It was then the door opened again. Well, well; if it wasn't the School Captain himself! Honestly, Emily wasn't at all surprised with his immediate reaction. rumors that cannibals run around the schools were still existent. Even though she knew Valekin was no longer there.

"Hello, Gallagher." she said, with a grin. "Care to join us? It's fresh."

"And may I ask why you are eating... Please tell me that's not human dripping from your chin.... and if it is please tell me it's not a student...."

Emily's eye twitched, and she would cough slightly. Why? No. Emily would never, ever eat human flesh -- at least, not in her right mind. Of course, Emily would never admit that the taste of human flesh and blood was gruesomely appealing at times.

"Who do you think I am, Captain?" She sighed, a smile still on her lips, "It's pork meat. Bought it at the meat shop nearby; good source of protein. Want some?"

Well, no one exactly expected Emily to have a quirk such as this. Many people thought once upon a time that Emily was the innocent, infallible type when in reality she was just as screwed up as every single one of them.

There was just a lot of things that she found difficult to forget.

[Mitsukai]

"Have at it."

She took the piece of meat that was offered to her without a second thought. There was no harm in trying right? It was not like this Emily chick had foreseen the woman's arrival and had poisoned the meat just in the hopes she would eat it and then die......

Or did she? O.o

God your so disgusting Nami... Mitsukai growled in the young woman's mind only making Nami smirk more in response.

Would it gross you out if I really DID eat it? she teased the girl inside her head.

Oh come on Nami you can't really be serious about this! I swear if you eat that thing now I will make you suffer!

Oh really now......watch me....

Just as she was about to take a bite despite her other half's numerous protests did Matrim show up on the scene. She fixed the man with a death glare the instant she saw him. This might have been Nami's first time ever meeting this man but she knew just as much about him as her other personality did and she didn't like him one bit. Nothing personal really she hated everyone.

Mitsukai gave her own warning growl inside her mind signaling to the dangerous woman to back off. Mitsukai had too much respect for the man to let Nami try to kill him. Not like the alter ego was foolish enough to do so now, Matrim was far too strong for her to handle on her own. Instead she stayed quiet, watching the other two converse while trying to keep Mitsukai from stealing back control.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Who do you think I am, Captain?"

A member of the Donner party?

She seemed to signal some sort of smile at him.... "It's pork meat. Bought it at the meat shop nearby; good source of protein. Want some?"

"The lambs were screaming! SOILENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!" Matrim suddenly yelled, thinking of whether or not it could be human flesh. Either way, he noticed a lack of response from Mitsukai. But he noticed her face, and quickly discovered something within it, unfamiliarity. "No I, don't eat. Not much anyway, and I doubt you should be offering pork to a person who's already undergone one heart transplant." He said giving a second glance at the meat she had.

This is just far too strange.

"Though I'm interested to know what happened to you. You were kidnapped, what happened?" He then turned to Mitsukai and said, "And why do you remain quiet now that I'm here? You don't look happy with me. Spit it out."

Yeah he was curious of Emily sure, but what was really bothering him was his own Pillar. The look she gave made him want to punt her off of the roof. Which was good considering both of their power levels didn't quite even add up to his in case something major went down with some crazy pork disease or something.

God forbid they go Zombie on his ass....

[Mitsukai]

"And why do you remain quiet now that I'm here? You don't look happy with me. Spit it out."

Matrim's attention was brought back to Nami and for a moment she was unsure what to do. She wanted to kill him, she wanted to mutilate him right then and there but she knew she couldn't. Mitsukai was already ready to spring back out and fight for dominance if she even dare strike out at him. A fight over control of this physical body on top of a fight with the much stronger man would only guarantee a loss. What good was fighting a battle you can't win?

She debated for a second if she should act like her other half just to throw him off. He didn't seem to notice the change in her eye color yet so he might not have figured out that he wasn't talking to Mitsukai. Most never seemed to notice the difference anyway, they always treated like she was the same person it would not be too hard to trick this idiot if she wanted to.

But at the same time she hated being seen as the same. She was different from her other half and it was about time someone realized it. At least before she killed them that was.

"Maybe because seeing you makes me lose my appetite." she said in her dark almost seductive voice. It was not the smartest choice she made to taunt someone stronger then she was but for her she simply didn't care. She had been crazy enough to go after Gabriel more then once. If she had to fight Matrim as well then so be it. He was just one more threat in Mitsukai's life that needed to be disposed of before he did something, from Nami's perspective anyway.

[seishounohana]

Emily rose an eyebrow at the mention of Matrim having an underlying condition and the rather obnoxious excerpt from the movie "Soylent Green", but no matter how hilarious that actually was, Emily had kept a smiling face. The psychological block that Layla had given to her was strong enough to ward off the feeling of laughter. Amusement, however, no.

"Oh, my bad." She said, taking another bite of the flesh that was in her hands. "Unlike Soylent Green though, I do happen to know what I'm putting into my mouth. I'm a nurse, after all."

Or at least, a to-be nurse, right? Though, it seems as if she would be carried off to another direction within the next few months or so. Emily wasn't sure if she could embrace it or resist it as she had always had.

"Come to think of it..." She started to rant, gazing onto the skyline of the world beyond the school walls. "Several Cannibals had made statements that Human flesh tastes like pork with the texture of veal. I guess eating this is as close as you can get to cannibalism without even doing it."

Laughing to herself, Emily would pop the last part into her mouth and began to chew happily in her own thoughts. Of course, her thoughts were drifting. Her being kidnapped was a little something she would rather not remember all considering her current (but albeit shaky) affiliation with Gabriel Seran. Emily was a very kind-hearted woman after all, she wouldn't exactly hold it against the guy for very long or at all even if she did end up quite close to death at that point.

She glanced at her finger, of which had a nail growing back to it's normal form and winced at remembering how it got pulled out in the first place, but that show of weakness was only for but a moment. Emily just smiled and decided to answer the question as well as she possibly could. "Let's say an old friend just wanted to have a talk with me, is all." She said, "I don't understand why people have to be too concerned with me."

She chuckled before glancing at girl and her obvious dislike for the Captain. Emily felt that this girl was similar to her, though at this point Emily could claim that there would be no one who can out-crazy her right now.

She smiled. "So, You are Mitsukai, Am I correct?" She said, "The Varsity Captain? A pleasure. An introduction is in order. I am Sacricia Emily Lourdes Delos Santos. Hopefully you do not mind my quirky preference of protein?"

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Several Cannibals had made statements that Human flesh tastes like pork with the texture of veal. I guess eating this is as close as you can get to cannibalism without even doing it." She said, and then added, "Let's say an old friend just wanted to have a talk with me, is all. I don't understand why people have to be too concerned with me."

"Personally I didn't really care too much, so don't worry about me. It was David that was about to strangle somebody to find out where you were. Don't know what the hell crawled up his ass that day," Matrim said. And looked over as she introduced herself to Mitsukai. Who with a snide remark to Matrim made him very curious....

"...Hopefully you do not mind my quirky preference of protein?"

"I'm sure she won't..." Matrim said looking over, "Mitsukai's not some girly type. She's actually an up and coming fighter. You should fight her sometime to test her out."

That would actually be a good match up for Mitsukai... Never really thought about that match up before...

"That is, if she's herself. She's a bit off right now, couldn't tell you why..." He looked at her eyes, trying to recognize her, but nothing came of it. Perhaps he would see her, perhaps not, but right now this wasn't Mitsukai. She had more respect for Matrim than that. And though his temper was making him want to punt her off the roof like he had Gilgamesh (which she herself should remember, having been there), he held it back for her sake.

[Mitsukai]

Her right eye began to burn again and Nami had to hold back a string of curses. Great, just great she did not even DO anything yet and already Mitsukai was already trying to fight back. Couldn't she have some time to be in control for once.

Nami I am only going to warn you once. Back off right now or I am going to make you suffer. There was another stab of pain and she let out a low hiss in annoyance. She was not going to make this easy now was she?

Fine you win. Not like she could have done much anyway. Her enemy was far to strong right now, his demise would have to wait.

Mitsukai's right eye returned to it's normal color as she finally regained control of her body. Swearing as she realized she was still holding onto the piece of meat Nami had in her hand jus moments ago. She had to fight the urge to toss it away.

"S-sorry..." she apologized instantly. "I still have a hard time controlling that thing...." She definitely would have to explain this all to Matrim later, right now was not the time but from his reaction it seemed he might have noticed that who he was talking to was not her.....maybe.

"Umm....Emily do you want this thing back...I am not really hungry." she waved the piece of meat in her hand. Might as well not let the thing go to waste and she rather get it out of her hands as soon as possible....the thing was dripping blood everywhere and she felt like she was going to be sick from the sight of it.

[seishounohana]

"Personally I didn't really care too much, so don't worry about me. It was David that was about to strangle somebody to find out where you were. Don't know what the hell crawled up his ass that day," Emily would smile weakly. David. Heh, that guy, really. Always so overprotective, just like Rem, if not Rem put to the extremes of overprotectiveness.

"David had his reasons, Matrim." She said taking the last bite of the raw steak on her hands. Though, Matrim mentioned a fight with Mitsukai. Even though that sparked a level of interest on Emily's part, she was not interested in fighting just now. "A potential, huh?" She said, looking the girl up and down. She was small, just like her, potentially quick and her build spoke about her constitution; it was a good thing.

"Sometime. We have exams next week."

"That is, if she's herself. She's a bit off right now, couldn't tell you why..."

"... There is no such thing as 'not being yourself'; only a part of oneself that one wishes didn't exist. That, I can be sure of."

Emily looked at Mitsukai, smiling softly as she seemingly became meek almost immediately and returned the piece of raw meat back to it's container. The white-haired girl only smiled. "You can return it. Not everyone manages their urges the way I try to, I suppose."

Emily would take a handkerchief from her pockets, using it to wipe her fingers as she gazed out to the landscape in front of her. A beautiful landscape that many students didn't really bother with. Emily, for one, loved these sort of things and wished that someday she could become as beautiful as what she was seeing. Not only by mere physical beauty, but inner beauty as well.

"The world is a beautiful place, isn't it?" She said, "It's just sad that it has us humans as it's inhabitants."
