Thread: Grave Matters: A Repo! Roleplay (SevenxKawamura)

He was exhausted Nathan had fallen asleep at the table, and Shilo had worriedly tried to prop his head up on a cereal box until he assured her he was just fine. He was just a little tired. But this was time he could use to spend with Shilo, and he wasn't going to let it slip through his fingers so he drank coffee, he splashed cold water on his face, he did everything in his power to have the energy just to be with her, and they spent most of the daylight hours doing the pointless things that fathers should do with their daughters. For instance, watching the inane television shows that she was so enthralled by, listening to her enthusiastic recounting of previous episodes of the drama-laden story while he tried not to let his eyes cross. Playing board games with her, and listening to her shrieks of joy when he made the jenga tower collapse. Again. Visiting her mothers tomb with her, and making sure she wore her mask. And then night fell, and Shilo returned to her room, and Nathan got back into his suit, took the files, and dissappeared into the darkness of the city and his own mind. Elaine Summers. GeneCo property for reposession lungs. According to her file, her place of residence had the tendency of frequently changing, but the document provided a layout of the neighbourhood she tended to ghost around - another lost soul in the city, another girl who turned tricks for drugs. He moved through the area with ease, familiar with every twisting back alley and underground station in the city at this point, and it didn't take long to find her. And when he did, he had to stop for an instant to question how much caffeine he'd had that day, to wonder if maybe he was more sleep deprived than he'd initially believed - but no, a second glance told him that his eyes weren't deceiving him. Summers was there, slumped against the side of a dumpster with her eyes half-closed in a drug induced haze, but - - she looked just like Shilo. From her dark hair, to her pale skin, to the way she dressed, she was nearly Shilo's twin, and even the Repo side of the equation was stunned by it, enough that he found himself checking the file a second time. He was hoping, praying that he had misread it, that somehow this was the wrong person, that he wouldn't have to - but no, it was her. She was older than she appeared to be, old enough to have signed her own death warrant when she signed for her new organs - and the rules were the rules, weren't they? Nathan lingered there for a long time, leaning his head back against the brick he wanted to wish the night away. He wanted to pretend this didn't have to happen. But eventually, he stepped out of the shadows, and he moved towards her like a man walking to the gallows Summers barely seemed aware of his presence, too drugged up to even care that her death was standing in front of her, holding a knife that could have skinned a crocodile. Nathan felt his throat restrict as he looked down at her and he went down on his haunches he reached out and touched his fingers to her face, and she moved a little, her eyes flicking up to him, her pupils massive. He closed his eyes for a long moment he couldn't do this. But then, he didn't have to the Repo Man took the wheel then, impatiently shoving Nathan aside, reminding him that this girl wasn't his daughter, she was just another job. And she never even made a sound there wasn't a mumble or a protest, only a small gasp when she died a quick death from the knife across her jugular, but he did it so hard and so hastily that he nearly beheaded her with the single swipe. He worked in silence then, but he extracted the lungs through her back despite the fact it took more effort and required more bones to be broken - while the Repo Man could do the job, he knew that Nathan couldn't have her looking at him while he did it. Just another job. And when he had clipped the lungs away, and the gaping, ruined body laid at his feet, he had to stagger out of the alleyway quickly, because his stomach began to churn.
