Relius Clover
Relius retorted with a light smile. “Well. It certainly looked like you were enjoying the body with that performance you put on. Or perhaps you are the type of actor who plays his role so often that you forget what its like to be genuine. Either way, you should know by now that I love getting some semblance of emotional feedback to my work.”
The scientist looked at the demon splattered all over his lab, his polite smile morphing into a more prideful grin, his cheek muscles more noticeably contorting as he put more genuine emotion into his expression. If you consider pride emotion.
“At the very least, you must have felt something as you splattered that creature across my lab.”
Medaka Kurokami
Winter was hard for Medaka. Soon after that night with Shinobu and her new roomates, she finally had time to grieve for her fallen comrades. She went many nights without sleep, particularly in the first week or two. The memory of all those who she had failed to protect in that first two days plastered every corner of her mind. She managed to cope a bit by throwing everything she had into training but it only started helping after the first month. Even then, their painful memories occasionally assaulted her mind. It was often little things. The sight of candles during the holidays often caused her a lot of stress and anxiety and occasionally gave her short but intense bouts of depression. Even so, it became a little bit easier to deal with over time, to the point where she was able to function normally. After all, time heals all wounds.
On the other hand, the mere idea of Shinobu, an immortal vampire who could not die, was forever tied to her and powerful enough at least to best her in combat was an endless source of comfort. Perhaps the best part was when Shinobu would go out with her by hiding within her shadow. She effectively spend her day chatting with her vampire elder, even if it made her look a bit schizophrenic at times. Regardless, it was always the best parts of her days. She may have been a failure but at least she was never alone.
"I want doughnuts!"
"Ok" Medaka responded casually. "Let me just grab my wallet."
Thats the kind of thing that tends to start it. Without hesitation, they headed over to the store to get doughnuts. Shinobu's favorite is one that somehow stays in business from just selling doughnuts. Although, considering how often they go, its not unreasonable to say they are at least partially responsible. As they entered the store, Shinobu jumped out of Medaka's shadow, pressing her boobs against her back.
"How much money did you even make during your last...." Said Shinobu, perhaps curious if they had enough for doughnuts.
Seeing the vampire stuggle to find the words, Medaka tried to fill in the blanks to save her trouble. "More than enough for doughnuts. All I did was solve an equation but it pays more than enough to cover for our meals. But, I kinda wonder why you never get fat even when you eat so mu--" She said before getting cut off.
"Howdy, Shinobu! It's been a while! Five months or so? Time flies fast!"
The blue haired vampire turned her head to see a girl wearing nothing but a Hawaiian shirt with medical tape covering her breasts. Between that and the sandles, she looked like a manga character or someone who just came back from a vacation. Next to her was a man with a super scruffy face. She assumed he was with her. She smiled at them with genuine excitement.
"Hi I am Medaka. How do you know Shinobu?"
