I. Dormitories
[Nue has a lot of questions about her situation when she comes to. There are the obvious, like where this place is and how she has been brought here, and then there are the more esoteric, like the number of youkai and the number of humans here alongside her. However, as she explores her new surroundings, her thoughts begin to come back to one particular question more and more often.]

[What is that noise?]

[Her pointed ears twitch and lie back like an animal's—not that most people should be able to see that, given the way she has covered herself with one of the few seeds she has access to. (Another thing to wonder about.) She even growls a little. It's seriously irritating, and it doesn't sound like anything she has ever heard before. Her wandering through the dormitory hallways quickly turns from an attempt to get her bearings to a quest to locate the source of that whining. Occasionally, she'll stop and scratch at a wall, as if to dig inside.]


II. Cafeteria
[Sometime later, Nue can be found in the cafeteria. She doesn't look significantly more pleased by the situation here than she did by the one upstairs, but for what is at least in part a different reason. Specifically, she's miffed by the options she has for food.]

[Seriously. As if suffering through the oatmeal wasn't bad enough, her reward is this flowery crap? What kind of self-respecting youkai would be pleased with this garbage?]


III. Floor 6
[Being unable to fly makes taking down a prey animal somewhat more difficult than it would otherwise be, but Nue makes do nonetheless. The loss of her powers and the aggressiveness of what should have been a timid doe catch her by surprise—and she has the bloody shoulder to prove it now—but it isn't hard to entangle the animal's legs with one of her flexible, blade-like wings while the other five slit its throat and rend its flesh. It doesn't take her long to leave it jerking against the ground in its final movements.]

[She doesn't feel like carrying her prize all the way back to "civilization," so when she settles down to eat, it's in the dirt. The scythe-like limbs at her back cut into her meal's still-warm body, and the blue spears opposite of them pry it apart for her. Blood drips down her chin as she gobbles down the meat raw. Unashamedly, she eats like an animal, because there's no one around to tell her she should do otherwise. She doesn't mind it.]

[It takes some time, but a squirrel comes scampering down the tree. Rei reaches to grab it, only for it to duck away from her swipe.]

[She grabs at the squirrel again. Again, it avoids her. Frowning, she tries to stretch out her arm...but it wouldn't stretch.]

...It's not working.

[She shakes her head.]

Nope!

[She takes off running after the squirrel, but has to stop when it goes up another tree.]

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks!

[She walks over to the carcass and kneels down. Slowly, she encloses her mouth around bit of meat and strains to tear it out. Then, she chews and swallows.]

Mm...it tastes too much like blood.

I'm Rei. And you?

[She nods.]

That's a neat name.

I told you. I'm Rei.

[personal profile] terreifying 2013-06-06 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Rei is who I am and what I am. As long as I think I'm Rei, I'm Rei.

[She gives Nue a smile, showing off her now bloodied teeth, far too many in number to be normal.]

Well, I'm just as much of a person as everyone else...but my body is a little weird.
terreifying: (Youth!)

[personal profile] terreifying 2013-06-10 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
I think like a human and my emotions are all human. That's what makes people human.

Why shouldn't I act like them? I live with them all the time.

Well, if you try to understand them, they'll be your friends and understand you.
