Short Description: ► Miniature rebel and preteen heart throb, Steven "Tiger" Universe is a whole lot of stage presence in a very small package. Also, he is kind of a jerk, though most of that is the frustrated lashing out of a confused, messed up kid. The audience loves him, though!
I guess giving off an aura of being ruthless and evil tends to steer those kinds of people towards my manager instead of me, but I get a little bit of the traffic you're describing. It's incredibly lame. Parties are supposed to be parties, if they want to drink at a meeting they should talk about reworking their corporate guidelines.
i'm pretty sure in pride they DO drink at meetings and not just the party ones.....
but i dunno your like the least evil seeming person in your band ok i guess yuffie is was ok too shes just really in my face but you didn't even want to beat up predator or anything
[Kido's used to Tiger showing up in her room at night. At this point she finds it easier to sleep with him around than without.
She's also become the queen of working herself until she can't anymore and then crashing and burning. She's barely awake when Tiger shows up, still fully dressed and sprawled in bed.]
Hey, kid. Can't sleep? [She asks him that literally every time.]
[She doesn't look like she went to bed properly. That's okay. Tiger, for his part, actually got into his shorts and tank top like he usually does for bed - he'd been tossing and turning for a while before he decided to come over.]
Yeah.
[It's spoken softly. This is habitual at this point. He doesn't want to talk too much and wake her up, especially since it seems like she was about to fall asleep, so he just crawls into the bed and lies down next to her.]
[No his presence is a good thing. Kido groans and rubs her eyes, sitting up. Sleeping in her clothes is, she is aware, a bad thing. She doesn't quite get up, but she does start to wriggle out of her hoodie and tee shirt. She's left in just a spaghetti strap undershirt, tossing her outer layers aside and getting up to change into more comfortable pants, too.
But man there's something weird going on with her shoulders. Her skin is all red and weird and patchy and it's... not normally like that.]
[Tiger has already curled up beneath the blankets, but he's far from asleep. He glances up at her in the darkness and mumbles: "Okay." Both because it sounds kind of nice and because sometimes he just tries to let Kido look after him these days because he knows she wants to.
He pauses, though, when he also notices the odd blotchiness of the skin beneath her t-shirt. He's not sure if his eyes are playing tricks on him or what. He doesn't say anything.]
[He takes it carefully between his hands, sipping at it a touch shyly while still eyeing up her shoulder to see if he can make it out any better closer up. Is that a bruise, or a rash?]
Yeah, I think so...
[He trails off, and then reaches out to nearly touch her shoulder, then pulls away.]
Huh? I didn't notice anything... [It doesn't itch or anything... Kido blinks as she looks over her shoulder but... it's dark and her hair's getting in the way.]
[He reaches up with his hand again, brushing lightly against her shoulder - and then his hand flinches back in a moment to surprise. If it's a rash, it feels super bubbly or blistery or something.]
...You...we should take a look to make sure it's okay. It feels weird.
[She gropes around for the light next to her bed and winces when it turns on, temporarily blinding her. She gathers her hair in her hand and pulls it over her opposite shoulder.
The burn scars reach across her back and down beneath the fabric of her shirt. They're old. Like more than a decade of healing old.]
For all I know I'm possessed by alien parasites. It's no crazier than anything else. Is there something?
Scars? [She's confused. She doesn't know how that could even be a thing. That was one of the few things she had going for her. Her skin had always been p. much flawless.]
Huh. Then they should work on scheduling more meetings NOT at parties.
Yuffie is in everybody's face. Trust me, you want her in your face. If she's not in your face, her face is in her phone, and somebody has a problem or will soon have one.
I wouldn't call me nice because I didn't go round up a posse to beat the tar out of Predator. Fight smart, not hard.
