Zanina: "So where did you come from to Kēji?"
Cobalt: "I swear I don't know "
I was sitting in Zanina's apartment, it looked more like a library or a study
on the shelves that lined the walls were books and artifacts and some of them looked like antiques there were two others in the room with me. One of them I recognized as Moku and the other is the tall man who cornered me in my apartment earlier who I later found out was named "Zanina Ogami". Moku was staring at me in an irritated manner and Zanina was giving me a blank stare which gave me an uneasy feeling as a chill ran up my spine. there were at least ten minutes of awkward silence
[Ten minutes of awkward silence later...]
Zanina closed his eyes and I watched in awe and wonder as his snout started to elongate into that of a wolf's
Then he started sniffing, he sat upright, his eyes were still closed and he was breathing very slowly as if in a trance. about a minute later he opened his eyes he looked slightly perplexed.
Zanina:" You are dismissed"
He pointed at me and at the door...
I obediently walked out of the apartment and out of the building itself, I looked up at the sky, expecting to see stars...
Cobalt:" What the hell?"
For only about a second, the sky looked like the inside of a giant cube.
Cobalt:" Eh, probably just my fatigue..."
I heard someone come up behind me and bump into me hard.
Cobalt: " OOF! Hey! Watch where you're going- Uh oh..."
It was a humanoid rhinoceros and his horn, or at least what was left of it was capped in gauze and bandages.
"Well well well, look who it is!"
"The very person I wanted to see, the creep who broke my horn!"
I caught a whiff of something foul, his breath.
Cobalt:"Seems pretty rich coming from a guy who does not seem to bush his teeth very often. What the fuck have you been eating lately, rancid horse cum? "
He did not take long to react to my smart-ass comment. In fact, he immediately tried to grab me. I dodged his reach and slid under his groin. UGH! If his breath was bad then this was unreal! (I really do feel bad for whoever shagged with him) The chase was on, I looked around for a place to duck into...
Cobalt:"Shit! Of all the times to be in a street with no alleys!"
And when all seemed lost, a tall skyscraper came into view.The Town Hall, I made a beeline for the front doors...
I mean, if he had a brain, then he would not come bursting into an official building with obviously hostile intent! I stopped in the lobby and turned around, I could smell the scent of generic and harsh cleaning chemicals.
*CRAAAASHH!!!!*
Oh my fucking god, the idiot burst through the doors. As in rammed through like a morbidly obese wrecking ball. This is a special kind of stupid...
I only got a 5-second head start before he was able to get up and continue the chase.
Cobalt:"What the hell's wrong with you!? Do you have brain damage or some shit!?"
I vaulted over some chairs, ducked under a suspended glass swan, and weaved around some old-looking vases on pedestals.
The rhino simply went right through it all like some sort of juggernaut.
*CRACK!*
*SPLINTER!*
Those were the chairs...
*CRASH!*
*SHATTER!*
That was the swan...
*PINK!*
*PLOCK!*
*CLATTER!*
Those were the vases... ( I really hope that I'm not going to be held responsible for all this)
I ran into an open elevator and slammed the button for the top floor then spammed the "Close Door" button.
"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SH-"
The sickeningly anticlimactic silence of the elevator gave me a chance to catch my breath. Soon, the doors opened to a different room. I rushed into a janitor's closet, at least I thought it was a janitor's closet, it actually was the Roof Access. I felt some heavy footsteps approach me, two large hands grabbed me, and I smelt the horrible breath.
"Hah! Finally got you...*Huff*"
"Now what should I do about ya?"
His eyes swiveled to the stairs up to the roof, a nasty smile began to stretch across his face.
"Heh heh..."
Cobalt:" No! NO!"
I soon found myself dangling over the edge of the roof, unable to comprehend the fact that I was about to die at the hands of such a pecker-brained ass-wipe of a rhinoceros. If I don't find a way out of this mess, I would be a gore-soaked pancake on the concrete far below within the next minute or so.
Wait hold on...This feels a little familiar...It's a kind of deja vu... This uncertainty... This floating feeling that makes me want to cry...
Have I been in a similar scenario before?
?:"Put him down"
I felt a lurch as the rhino turned around to see the newcomer: Zanina.
Zanina:" You are about to commit a serious crime, please do not proceed with this."
Before I knew it, I was falling. I felt the insane adrenaline rush usually felt by skydivers or bungee jumpers. The images of my short life flashed before my eyes, there were not many memories to treasure. I guess this is it, I am going to die. I accepted my imminent fate and closed my eyes, right when I felt something sharp grab me. I rolled onto the ground unharmed, I was tired in the first place, but after all this, I simply just want to...
Cobalt:"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..."
