[ so, you're minding your own business -- maybe returning to the hotel after a long day of being a good Hathaway team member, or just doing reconnaisance. out of the corner of your eye you notice -- shia labeouf. just kidding, it's fucking maya fey, and she's standing on two roombas. one foot on one roomba. out of pure witchcraft or dumb luck, or whatever, both are headed in the same direction. your direction. ]II;
Watch out, Roomba Racer coming through!!
[ prepare to get run over. or awkwardly bumped into. ]
[ speaking of roombas ---- maya's not finished with them. in the upper class, even -- far away from the broadcasting station (thankfully), maya's got herself a little high end fancy bot. and she appears to have..... taped paper animal ears and a tail onto it while the poor machine is just trying to pick up trash. ]III;
Come on Marshy! Let's go save the day!
[ yeah the paper tail comes off... and is nearly devoured by the robot, except maya snatches it away at the last second and then sighs dramatically. ]
.... It's not the same.
[ it's at this point that she notices that you are around. she plucks off the paper ears and holds them out in your direction. ]
Hey, you wouldn't mind if I called you Marshmallow while you wore these, right?
[ she's kidding. ......hopefully. ]
[ sooo, in midst of the escape from the hideout, you're walking in on an altercation -- or, well, it looks like an altercation went down. there's an unconscious vakdir man with damaged body armor badly bleeding on the ground --- and a discarded knife close by. kneeling right beside him is a young woman, who upon close enough examination, (because she's in disguise) is maya fey. she's got her hands over the vakdir's wound (and they've got a bit of blood on them, oops) and is using psychic energy to heal his wounds. under her coat, something's glowing. ]IV; (Free Bird)
[ also, she's crying. she's crying a lot. this is awkward. ]
I didn't--- this isn't---- I can't---
[ honestly, just keep walking. ]
[ okay maya's back in business. she, along with you, have snuck into this secure facility -- somehow --- the vakdir prison, and she's here and ready to save inuyasha and his two sidekicks --- ]V;
Are you ready for this?! We're gonna bust in and rescue them!
[ this appears to be her pep talk, delivered in a too loud stage whisper. luckily, the vakdir's patrols have lead them away from the moment, so she didn't just get them both captured. yet. anyway, she peeks her head around the corridor to where the prisoners are being kept, and --- ]
.... Shoot! This is the wrong prison!
[ how did she even manage that. ] .... Well, whatever. Let's just rescue these other guys while we're here. Deal?
[ honestly, why are you still here. just leave. ]
[ Okay, here's a really weird sight --- in rich people land, there's a lone figure kneeling on a bench (yeah, kneeling instead of sitting) while the rain pours down, hands pressed together and eyes closed as if they're in deep concentration --- yeah it's Maya, what the fuck is she doing. She looks like she's been at it for hours, she's thoroughly drenched and even shivering a little despite the intense look of concentration on her face. She's not even wearing rain clothes, what the shit. Approach Y/N? ]Wildcard?!
[ you know the drill. ]
no subject
[ clearly. everything is a ok. he's right though, she's not getting anywhere by kneeling over this guy who will probably arrest or kill her when he wakes up -- she starts to reach out for his hand, but hesitates when she remembers the blood again. oops. wouldn't wanna get it on his hand or sleeve. she tries to take a deep breath. ]
Y-Yeah. We should go.
[ she's going to try to stand on her own but evidently stabbing a bitch has made her a little lightheaded. she's a weenie. ]
no subject
[He gives her a cautious smirk, and then carefully guides her away from the Vakdir, frowning. It's times like this that make him wish he still carried a lot of his shinigami equipment or had the means to build them.] I don't have the materials on me to modify his memory. Do you think he'll remember your face?
no subject
No, I-- he didn't see my face. I had my disguise on.
[ which has now been discarded in the rain, but oh well. also: since when can he erase memories? is there anything he can't do??? ]
But I think I.... messed up.
[ because she stabbed him??? who knows. ]
no subject
He spares a glance over at the man and then ushers Maya somewhere out of sight, and only then does he speak freely.] As for him- well, you did more than he probably deserved by healing him. They're not kind people, and seem to have no desire to be while they can get away with it.
no subject
[ assuming he hasn't let go of her hand, she tightens her grip a little on his and she scrubs at her eyes with the back of her free hand. sorry, urahara, she's had a long day and evidently his paternal side is bringing out some vulnerability in her. ]
I, I know. He was a bad guy. And he was going to kill someone. But..... I don't know, maybe I'm not cut out for this.
[ general this. ]
no subject
[But he knows damn well how much a cheerful persona can mask. 90% of every person he's ever known (himself included) that put up a delightful front was hiding something underneath and the other 10% were vapid and shallow. Maya is not the latter.]
Is it just this mission? [He cants his head.] You don't have to tell me why if you don't want to. It's not my nature to say things to make you feel better or reassure you just because it's the polite thing to do.
[But he is still here, and if she'd like to expand on it, he's got a firm grip on her hand and the calming presence of an anime mentor who will handle any danger that might happen upon them as they take the long, more private path back to the Hotel.]
no subject
Inuyasha got caught because of me earlier, and now this..... [ she bites her lip, avoiding his eye a little even if she keeps just as firm of a hold on his hand. ] I don't know. The.... that guy was going to kill someone, so I.... I hurt him, but.... I couldn't even really do that. The way I am, I'm a burden to the team, but I.... I don't know if I can....
[ she knows he's probably killed people before, and he's so calm about this he must be used to it, to some degree, so it feels stupid to say all of this aloud, but she can't vocalize it any less childishly. ]
... I don't want to hurt anyone. [ she might sound like she's beating around the bush, but it's relevant. ]
no subject
So he knows that there's a part of him that whats to ask why she's still here- not to scold her or demoralize her, but to find out her reasons and see if that puts things into perspective, but there's no way to do it without sounding cold.]
I know what burdens are, and you're not that. [Not a platitude, but a fact.] A burden offers nothing, and you're far from the only person who's chosen to try and harm the fewest amount of people. I think many of us could benefit from that attitude on occasion.
