City Streets

*Ezdret warps into view and is about to warp again when she spots Innsta and stops short*

_h my g__d g_d.

*Ezdret trips from the sudden stop, eating pavement*

_w.

Innsta, seeing the trip, runs over to Ezdret.
Oh god, are you alright?
She bent down trying to help her up.
That probably felt like shit.

*Ezdret starts and takes her hand, allowing herself to be pulled to her feet. She dusts herself off, blushing slightly*

I've h_d w_rse. But wh_t interests me m_re is y_u! Y_u c_rry y_urself like s_me_ne wh_ kn_ws wh_t they're d_ing.

*She grins devilishly and gets closer to her*

C_re f_r _ m_tch _nd _ d_te?

Innsta stared at her, confused. She tilted her head and took a step back before saying:
... ssssssuuurre thing?
She took a couple of steps towards the threshicutioner den, still facing Erzdet.

*Ezdret squees and grabs her by the arm, warping them to the top of a skyscraper with a flat roof, high above the ground*

I think this is my f_v_rite pl_ce in Hem_p_lis!

OH SWEET SUFFERER.
Innsta stumbled a bit, confused on what just happened. She looked off the top of the building.
Holy crap how'd we get up here so fast.
She peered off the edge.
That's a pretty bug climb right there.
She pulled herself away from the edge and blinked.
Big. Shit-
She turned back to Erzdet.
Hey you gotta let me back down, i need to get back to the threshicutioner den.
She jabbed her thumb behind her vaguely pointing to the streets.

*Ezdret laughs, dueling dagger appearing in her right hand*

_f c_urse! Right _fter we finished wh_t y_u pr_mised~

*She twirls the dagger, then spins it in her hand with finesse, catching it assassin style, blade pointed away from her thumb*

Wait what? Wait- no, I don't have time for this right now. There's beds to sleep in and dummies to eviscerate!
Innsta took a step back, feeling her foot near the edge of the tower. She glanced behind herself and gulped.

*Ezdret smiles*

Pl_ying the d_msel in distress t_ get me excited? N_ughty~

*Instead of warping, she dashes at Innsta, slashing for her wrist*

Innsta jumps back in a poorly planned attempt to get away. She grabs the edge of the building with one hand, holding on for dear life.
Oh god you were serious about this.
She glances down to the street before immediately regretting it. She grabs the edge with her other hand and pulls up, launching herself back onto the roof. She stumbled on the landing and pulled out the regisickle.
Listen I know you maye think this is a good idea right now but i assure you it isnt. I'm second in command of the threshicutioners. And-
Innsta beamed with pride before starting again.
I've basically taken down Nepeta Leijon before!
She shrugged.
So you might want to stop here before you do something you might regret.
Innsta looked like there was a bad taste in her mouth at the last word.

*Ezdret starts, then grins a mile wide*

I knew y_u were speci_l! I supp_se there's n_ need t_ h_ld b_ck then!

*Another dagger appears in her left hand, and her stance changes dramatically. She walks forward slowly, approaching Innsta. She vanishes, appearing to Innsta's left, swinging both daggers at lethal locations*

Innsta slashed, scooping the daggers up with the regisickle's blade, and pushing them away from her as she leaned the opposite direction of her own slash.
Psionics, huh?
Innsta frowned, stepping back in a defensive stance.
How did someone like you get those? I thought only lowbloods had them/

*Ezdret snickers and shrugs, staggering back*

Y_u _RE pretty g__d! Y_u deflected my bl_des _lm_st by instinct. Impressive.

*Ezdret warps again, going for Innsta's neck, before warping a few dozen times and sending a kick flying for her stomach, right underneath her arms*

Innsta turned away from the kick and tried grabbing Erdet's leg, slamming the regisickle's blade down towards it.

*Ezdret vanishes, appearing above Innsta, bringing her leg down hard, eyes wild*

Seeing Ezdret vanish, Innsta cursed, looking up to find Ezdret's leg coming down. She brought up her arms in a half assed split second defense.

*Ezdret smashes her leg into Innsta's haphazard defense, missing the top of her head but hitting the front of her face, knocking her backwards towards the ledge*

_h shit. C_reful!

Oh NOW you're wporried about me? fucking wonderful.
Blood came from Innsta's nose as she steadied herself, just barely keeping her foot on the roof. She wiped the blood on her sleeve, glancing at the mess for a split second before suddenly leaping towards Ezdret, swinging the sickle to hook her around the back of her neck.

*Ezdret starts, but warps behind her, giving her a small shove away from the ledge*

H_w _m I supp_sed t_ c_ncentr_te _n fighting if y_u're s_ cl_se t_ f_lling _ff?

Innsta stumbled from the shove before turning back to face Ezdret
Concentrate on fighting if i'm what? -yoiu know what, never mind, i dont particularly care for what you say right now fucking attacking me like that.
Innsta swung the sickle behind Erzdet's knee attempting to knock her off balance.

*Ezdret stops her warp at Innsta's words, confused, before being swept off her feet*

_w s_n _f _!

*She rolls away from Innsta before hoping to her feet, looking dazed*

Yeah! Doesn't feel to fuckin' nice does it!
Innsta swung her sickle in the air dramatically, wiping more blood onto her sleeve with her other arm.
god i'm bleeding like a fountain here.
Innsta looked back up to Erzdet.
Are we done here, or do you have more bullshit to pull? I'd really like to go back home and forget this day happened to be honest.

*Ezdret falls over, looking distant. Blood runs down her nose and she starts, wiping it away. She puts a hand to her head, looking confused*

S_rry if I upset y_u but I d_n't... I'm n_t sure if I-

*Ezdret coughs, blood splattering the ground in front of her. Her eyes widen*

Well th_t c_n't be g__d. M_ybe using my dis_pper_ti_n m_ve m_re th_n _nce w_s _ b_d ide_.

Innsta rolls her eyes at first at the blood coming from Ezdret's nose, she crosses her arms and waited for the charade to be over before Ezdret started coughing up blood. Innsta's eyes widened in worry and she uncrossed her arms, walking slowly towards Ezdret. She held the sickle up defensively, wondering if she just got suckered into a trap.
Yo, uh, you alright there? I didn't really catch whatcha said at the end.

*Ezdret glances up and chuckles, her daggers vanishing. She struggles to her feet, wobbling slightly*

Guess my way of speaking is a little difficult to understand, huh. I'm fine, I just overdid my rather taxing special move. It was earlier today. I suppose I need to learn my limits better.

*She coughs again, frowns, and wipes her mouth*

Now then I think we got off on the wrong foot. My name is Ez.

*Ezdret sticks out her hand, regaining her composure but still slightly unsteady*
