Subject: Fresh Blood

She watched silently from the rooftop...watched the squabbling, the fighting, all over food, or water...or power. And it disgusted her, frankly, she who had never had anything but the clothes upon her back. But oh, how the mighty had fallen. All those rich brats that had looked down their noses at -her-, now they scurried about, digging through dumpsters and fighting one another for a bite of this, a drink of that. It almost brought a smile to the silent girl's face...almost, but not quite. Danger lurked within the city, of that she was certain, better to observe silently, and to not be seen. A slender fingered hand stroked lovingly across the hand crafted bow she herself had spent weeks, no, months making. It was her sole ally, her only friend. She could trust it above all others. And then movement caught her eye...a club of sorts perhaps, what was that the sign said? Eternal Bliss? Hadn't someone mentioned it while she was pushing her way into the city? Hmm..it might just be worth a closer look.

The bow was slung over one shoulder and...ay yi yi, she actually leapt off the side of the building, though slender fingers were coiled around a rope as she did so. There was a bone jarring jolt as she reached the end of the rope, and then dropped to the ground, landing in a low crouch. Dark green eyes, flecked with gold, darted about as she waited to see if anyone had heard the quiet thud of her feet hittign pavement, but it seemed that no one had, so she was off, slipping silently into the would be entertainment spot.

What an interesting figure she made too, small in build, almost fragile looking, carring a bow longer than she was tall, only nearly so that, and dressed in the manner one might expect to see a thief in medieval times, a forest green tunic, the top unlaced to show the black bra beneath, and black leather pants with matching boots. Her hair, strawberry blonde and nearly waistlength hung straight down.
