A lavender haired woman stalked the streets of District X that she considered her territory. She had various bases around the city of New York, just no one could ever pinpoint which one happened to be her home base. Larissa liked to keep people guessing. It allowed her some freedom while allowing her stalkers to feel equal no matter where they put down roots. It helped limit the amount of animosity with in family. She had a few favorites which is natural.
Tonight was more than her usual stroll to show her face. She had a mission as her heard that someone was starting to invade her territory, little by little. They were also hurting her beloved members with caused a rage that filled her entire being. Whoever it was, would quickly find out why it was a bad idea to mess with her members. As any good mother, she was going to put a stop to it once and for all with a dream so terrifying that they would shit their beds.
A cruel smile was quickly wiped from her face. She didn't want her hand to be played out too quickly. She needed them to think they had the upper hand as she was alone and defenseless. Some of her most skilled fighters and marksman spread across street corners and roof tops, blending into the background. She would not be alone for long when things got out of hand.
Her eyes found a young man with green hair. She focused her power on his mind. There was a strange bit of confusion what was happening around him. There had not been movement so a break would nice for now. She approached him slowly, keeping his thoughts on the forefront of her mind. It seemed that he was not from around here. A newcomer that might be looking for a home. She expanded her network whenever the opportunity presented itself.
"You know the man on TV spouts lies. He knows very little of what he talks about. And there is a great place to eat around the corner."
She had a feeling that her words would surprise him. She often did as she mainly did it get a rise out of people. If only her second would allow her more access into what he was thinking. It was maybe the one of the few downfalls of him.

Ryuusei exited a bakery with a small bag of doughnuts. He was a bit surprised to learn one was still open, and in THIS neighborhood which seemed to have a bad rep too. But whatever, he was hungry!
Once outside, he found a bench and took a seat before starting into the glazed bread. It was while devouring the second one that things got a bit....hazy. (The hell?) And glanced down at the small bit of the doughnut he was holding. "...I knew people put shit in brownies, but doughnuts?!" (No wonder that place's open her and this late...)
It was then that he heard a female voice. He turned to find a lavender-haired woman approaching. She was going on about 'the man on TV'. This caused him to roll his eyes. "Uhhhh, hello to you too?" (Strangest pickup line I've ever heard.) Even back home with the crazies there ...whether or not 'TV' existed was a moot point.
The rest of what she said though, about a 'great place to eat around the corner'. He was still hungry and NOT in the mood to get high...yet. "Just a tip, or you tryin' to hook up?" He'd go for a bite regardless.

Larissa laughed at the comment made by the man. She glanced as it seemed his thoughts bounced to home and her approach to things. She shrugged as she swung herself on to the bench back as she spread her legs out a little. She was hardly a lady by any means. She leaned in closer with a sly smile on her face.
"Why can it not be both? Getting food and working it off is always enjoyable." She gave him a wink. "Though it seems you are partaking in the special doughnuts so food would be in order. Pro-tip, it is best not to get high where everyone can see you. There are often people who mean the worse for you, no matter where you can from or how much power you have."
To make her point, she leaned in rather close as her hand snaked around. Her other hand distracted him with a bop on his nose. "You never know when someone might want to relief you of your things as well." She pulled back with his wallet in her hands. A trick she learned from the twins. It came in rather handy. "So dinner or do you need to walk of the weed?"

He hoped she wasn't TOO attached to his wallet, as it was out of her hand in a matter of seconds. He let out a brief chuckle. "Ya know, not many people've been able to do that. Kudos!" Before placing his wallet back into his pocket.
"Oh I doubt ANYONE'll be eatin' the doughnuts around here for awhile." He seemed to look past her with the corner of his right eye, to the bakery that the bench was in front of. Two people were booking it out the door as a faint siren could be heard approaching from a block away.
"So I think I'll take ya up on it." He got off the bench and started down the street.

Larissa was pleased that he was impressed with her trick. She felt it was needed to make the point. She winked as she slid down to the seat of the bench.
She heard the sirens as well. She chucked as she shrugged. “They are not after the little shop. Most folks know what was being sold there. The cops also didn’t care as much either. It was thanks to the pats offs that she provided.
“Don’t worry about those people. They will be in business for a while longer.”
She jumped up as he took her up on the offer. She smiled as he cocked her head to side. “So what are you in the mood for?”

It sounded like the cops were on their way to the bakery to get THEIR fix, a thought that caused him to look into the bag of doughnuts. "Huh, I wonder if they get coffee too? Mixin' the two ain't MY idea of a good time but that's just me..."
Back to the subject of foodl "Eh, anything's good, I ain't too picky 'cept with pizza!"

Larissa shrugged with his comment about the coffee. She honestly did not care at all. People got their kicks however they want these days. As long as they kept out of her way, she could care less what they did.
"I, personally, don't go in there so I can't say. It would not surprise me if they did."
She jumped up off the bench with a wide smile across her face. She liked when she got free reign. She would stay on target while having fun. She hoped that he could handle himself when they get into the fight. She cocked her head with a mischievous smile on her face.
"Burgers it is than. Pizza can get a little old. Let's get going. Booths fill up fast even for someone who has one on reserve."
She started walking, not caring if he was following her or not. She would get her burger no matter what.

He let out a laugh at her comment about the booths. "Must be one hell of a place if they gotta toss out reservations." And fallowed along.
Once near the place, he made sure to conceal the bag; both to avoid trouble with staff AND so nobody tried swiping it. As his companion demonstrated, one needed to keep an eye on their 'valuables' around here...
"Ummm, yeah a bacon double cheeseburger DOES sound good!"

She chuckled with the comment. He was a man after her own heart. She loved a large plate of red meat. She guided them with ease through the streets. Her muscles were relaxed as her eyes constantly scanning for the trouble that will happen. Maybe tonight they would think against it?
It was wishful thinking as a small group formed behind her. Her teeth shown as her eyes held a glint of fun. She would keep things quiet to see if her suspicions were correct. She looped her arm in his, throwing those off a little. She leaned close.
"Besides hey you, what do you like being called or shall I guess? I have a knack for guessing names with people."

Her ever-shifting gaze wasn't at all lost on him. (I heard this was a rough neighborhood, but this seems pretty paranoid. I wonder...) He continued walking casually, but kept his senses on alert anyway. Sure enough, numerous sets of footsteps could be heard from beind. and they were too close to be a mere coincidence...
His companion seemed to pick up on them as well, but instead of engaging, she moved closer to him and locked arms and playfully asked his name. With a smirk he replied, "Ryuusei, and what do I call YOU, besides 'sometime'?" sure that was lame as fuck, but it was all part of the game.

She was happy that he picked up on what she was going for. It helped that she was acting like there was nothing wrong at the moment. She pressed herself a little closer to him.
"Breska, Mistress of dreams and nightmares. Play nice and I will be sure to give you a pleasant dream." She gave him a wink as she lead them into the burger joint. She waved at the owner as she took her usual booth. The group followed them in. She turned to keep them in her corner of her eye.
"Get anything you like on the menu, just try not to break the bank here. The cowboy burger is rather tasty. The Cajun is good as well if you like something on the spicy side."

"I'll keep that in mind." In regards to whether he'll have a pleasant dream or not, all along continuing to ignore the people fallowing them.
He fallowed Breska inside and sat down across from her. When she told him to 'not break the bank', he shot her a smirk. "Oh come on, do I look like I can eat THAT much?" His eyes shifting down at his small frame.
He initially wanted a Bacon Double Cheeseburger...but damn the 'Cajun' was just TOO tempting to pass up.
While waiting for the food, he asked. "Soooo, do this kinda thing often?"

Larissa let her eyes slide up and down as he made the comment about his small frame. She laughed as she winked at him. He was interesting and rather fun to say the least. "I think you eat more than you are telling me about. After all, hunger is a side effect of being a little high."
She gave her order to their server as she noticed the group was getting rather antsy with waiting. She had a feeling that everyone would try to get the jump on her. She really wanted to eat before that all happened. She was starting to think she would not get her wish.
"Do mean picking up random strangers on the streets? Usually about once a month or so. After all, I have to give those wondering spirits a place to call home. It helps with loyalty and all that jazz. So tell me, where do you come from?"

"Well that's what the fries are for." Answering her with a laugh. He could sense her impatience...which stemmed from THEIR impatience. Ryuusei continued pretending to ignore the group, but still kept his guard up in case they were the kind to start shit in public.
"Yeah, we'll go with that." This was starting to sound like his old life, though his 'family' only consisted of himself and two others. Was she trying to 'adopt' him? It sounded that way with the line of questioning. So when the subject of 'where he was from' was brought up, he replied with. "Chicago." Which wasn't untrue, that WAS where he arrived, but he wasn't about to tell a total stranger that he was an Alien, especially out in public AND with possible unfriendlies around...
...Maybe had she treated him to steak and lobster though.

Larissa sat back as his surface thoughts ran across her mind. There was no reaction about the alien bit. She snorted at the lobster and steak bit. She may have some cash flow, just not like that. She would rather save it for something else. She twirled the silverware in her hands as she watched him carefully. She saw the glimpses of the group as they whispered heatedly. Every muscle in her body was tense.
“Big town. So why come to the city that never sleeps? Most are rather attached there? Never saw the appeal myself.”
The sliding of chairs across the floor had her sigh. She would not get her wish tonight. It was the main reason why she was here. She would just have to prove her point to their leader. In fact, it would be to a lot of the rival games. She slipped the knife out of the napkin with a smile. “Do you remember any of the gang fights out there? I hope so or you are going to have an interactive experience.”
She threw the knife at the middle guy as it lodged into his throat. She ducked and rolled as two headed for Ryuusei and the rest to her. She popped back up as her hands blocked two in coming blows. She was hit on her sides. She had limited herself with such a public place though her street training kicked in.
