   HANNAH was used to a lot of things over recent events. Before buying her husband that damnable mansion, her views on all things evil or paranormal were sorely superstitious. Yes, she always had a gut feeling deep down that such things might possibly be real, but not once had she toyed with the idea of it ever happening to her.
   However... What was happening now was far beyond her comprehension. A tinge of fear had still tacked itself after escaping her apartment from Luke. His slurred words still ringing in her ears as gravel dug into her bare feet. It was odd--she wasnât sure when sheâd decided to turn around that corner, but from the way the walls seemed, she must have drowsily walked down into some subway. It wasnât a surprise. Between eyes still hazed with tears and her mind numb, pitted against painful spots littering her arms and legs that were sure to leave bruises later.Â
   Despite the grotesque scenery... She knew Luke wouldnât look for her here.
   A stuttered sigh left her lips as she took her time wandering the place. Eyes heavily focused the floor, allowing her the chance to calculate each and every step in a cautious fashion--who knows whatâs been left behind on this floor, or when it was last cleaned.
  Whatever subway this was, it seemed a lot longer than it should be. More so-- a labyrinth than an actual subway... Now that sheâs actually looking about the place, this hardly seems like anything natural. Not long after making her way down a hall, she finds herself staring blankly at an ajar doorway--an exit, perhaps...?
   Using the side of her foot, she nudges the door open and quietly peers inside. The room, unnaturally dark spare a few lights illuminating a sight she wishes she could unsee. The stench of blood immediately rouses a heavy set of coughs, causing her knees to nearly buckle--she expected to see her in that moment.
   Her stare, full of malice with a twisted smile and exposed muscle and bone peppering rotted skin. The laugh sheâs heard countless times before echoes in her mind--but just as sheâs about to scream. To beg for her life... Itâs not that women sheâs staring at. Itâs that man.
   Mouth agape and eyes wide, Hannah wastes no time in scrambling to his side while sweat rakes itself down her paling features. What happened to him? She was in no better condition herself--brushes and hand marks, tangled hair, nothing but a nightgown, her bb-gun, and her necklace and slippers--clear indication sheâd been sleeping up until something occurred and caused her to rush from the safety of her apartment.
   She was by no means a weak women, or even one to be rude about anyoneâs disfigurement, but the eye--his eye--or, rather the lack of one... She retches, kicks back, finds herself a spot in his blind spot to gag and spit against the ground, pain building in her stomach. Had it not been for his noticeable injury, she might have panicked further. Itâs not the children, itâs the injury. Theyâre okay Hannah--get it together...
   One last harsh gag escapes her before she regains full control over her breathing. No matter how disgusting the sight might have been, she canât just leave this poor man here. So... She crawls back towards him, a shudder rolling down her back as she finds her gaze unable to stray from his missing eye, but regardless, her hand rests against his cheek if not to wipe away blood and dirt, then for possible comfort. It only strays when her attention falls to the needles digging into his legs. As if what was already done to him wasnât enough?!Â
â Oh my God... Sweetie-- M-Maggie, was it? I--... Who did this to you?! We have to get you to a hospital now--! â
@notyourbxttercup
An angel in the darkness? Heh⌠Majima hadnât expected a pretty sight amid his own version of a nightmareâ the hole. And while some would question what in the heavens could this ominous place be, it was an underground torture chamber. The very place Majima had spent two years inside, unable to die, unable to rest⌠the only sleep and food he got at that time was what his body needed to keep him alive by a thread. The Yakuza wouldnât let a traitor die that easily, especially when said traitor was of better use to them alive than dead.

@opticallyenhanced | E:Â Trick Or Retreat
WARNING: DOMESTIC ABUSE / ALCOHOLISM
   SHE never claimed her husband to be an entirely good person. She believed heâd tried, really tried, and with enough of her love and support, he could become something better. Hard to buy when all he did was drink and disappear for hours or even days, but oh did she try. Poor little Hannah Wright. So love struck for Luke Wright that she couldnât even begin to question how horrifying it was that heâd showed up at her doorstep, smile and all. In her tired state, she glanced at the clock, though no less ecstatic that her husband had finally come. Finally after weeks of being alone. He was here, and his voice, soft, loving, all what she remembered it to be.
   Poor little Hannah Wright. Unknowingly letting something into her apartment and quietly fixing what she thought was her husband some tea. His favorite. Nothing less for him, even if his tone had shifted to bitterness after closing the door.
   Poor little Hannah Wright. Confused, startled, questioning as he mutters something and goes rooting through the drawers while her back was turned. She assumed-- itâs a spoon heâs grabbing. Heâll need it for the tea. Easy to believe until their conversation turned for the worst.
  When she started to smell alcohol and found herself staring at her husband standing near the doorway nearly in a drunken stupor. His words cutting, quick, harsh. No hesitations to cut her down and leave every wound open for him to jab more fingers into. Even when she tried to fight back, things were thrown. A reminder of what was common when Luke drank himself stupid. Whereâd he even get the alcohol was beyond her, but it was the knife. The threats and bruises that now littered her arms that had her remembering just what happened minutes before her arrival.
â You should have stayed dead, Hannah. â
It was his last words before he rushed with the knife. Before she managed to strike him down with the hot kettle and rush out of her apartment. Before she found herself barely breathing and clinging to this man she barely liked for support.
Thereâs no hiding this from him. From the fact sheâd ran out in slippers and a nightgown with bruises and one bleeding cut, there was no way she could have played it off as an accident. Nor could she find the strength to lie. Her words had barely come out, shaken and weak as her eyes found themselves incapable of facing him.
â Please hide me. Please. Iâll do anything, just please--I need to hide-- â

   HANNAH Wright. On first glance, people would always comment on her beauty, though from the way she looks now, many would have their doubts that they were the same person. Her hair was a mess, a sign that she had either just awoken or was forced out of bed. Her outfit was a nightgown and heels that she seemed to have rushed and grabbed before retreating into the middle of the streets of Sector oo5.Â
   Tired, exhausted, and truly frightened by something unknown, Hannah finds herself barely able to contain tears after wandering about for God knows how long. Unable to keep standing, she finds herself retreating to a park bench trying to silence her cries. If only she had a clear head--maybe then she could think of something.

Well, she was pretty⌠very pretty. But of course, a girl like her would know that. He just didnât know what such pretty young woman was doing chatting up a Yakuza patriarch that way, but it wouldnât be the first time either. Well, when did Majima ever deny himself the company of a woman of her caliber?
âSure didnât take a parrot to catch yer attention.â He smirked a little, nothing like one of his usual laughter lest he scared off the lady. Then, Majima pointed to his eyepatch. âBeinâ all pirate-like did the job jusâ fine, no? Ya into bad boys or somethinâ?â
He was no flower that smelled, but ladies usually got the special treatment. As for men? Well, heâd share a cigarette over a couple drinks with them⌠nothing past that, really.
âHannah-chan~ In Japanese Hana means flower. Canât say itâs too far off the mark⌠unless ya donât like flowers?âÂ
   WAIT... Wait! It hits her the instant he pulled the flower card. This man was flirting, though she was no stranger to this behavior. It was just rare that it didnât come with wandering eyes and invasion of personal space.
   Appreciative, though still, she was a married women... Whoâs husband had a tendency to flirt with other women while she was in the same fucking room now that she thinks on it. What right did Luke have to pull that trick like it wasnât a big deal?! The more she recalls all those moments, the more sour she felt, and the harder it became to keep her smile casual.
   She decides, just for this moment, if Luke fucking Wright could flirt with women all he pleased, then so could she! Who gave a ratâs bottom anyways. A little harmless flirting wouldnât hurt, so long as it didnât go beyond that.
   Folding her arms under her chest, she shoots him a quirked brow and unimpressed look. My husband loves flowers, she wanted to say. Calls me his buttercup and has a garden full of them. I even wear perfume that smells like buttercups, just for him.
   But the words donât come. She couldnât be arsed to let them out. Instead, itâs a witty retort, a cheeky play on words just to mess with him--or at least--that was her intentions.
â Is that the best youâve got? â
â Sweetie, if I had a dollar for every man that said something like that, I could be renting a hotel by now. Or even buy it off the owners... I was only ever really into bad boys when I was teenager. If youâre going to impress a women, youâve got quite the ways to go... â

Was his âhumanâ disguise really that good? He considers it for a moment before replying, âNah. Jusâ headinâ down tâ⌠work.â Work. Yeah, that was a good way to put it. Itâs not exactly like he was supposed to be advertising the Fight Club to strangers. Especially not ones that smelled so foreign.
He scratches the cheek of his helmet, trying to ignore that sheâd called him dear. Sure, Twintelle had called him it on occasion, but itâs not exactly the most⌠familiar term of endearment heâs used to. âYa could probâly find somethinâ at a store. Thâ big bashâs stillâŚâ he pauses to count on his oversize fingers, ââŚa few days away.â
â Big bash? OH! You mean a party! Like a normal little Halloween get together? â
   HANDS quickly clasped together in front of her chest, an ecstatic giggle bursting out at the idea of a grand party filled with laughter and smiles and colorful costumes galore. Why, there would even be children asking for candy, wouldnât there? How exciting! Such news like this melted away all her fears and worries. She could be normal if no one recognized her.
   Just a woman handing away bags of goodies and talking to the common folk about their common lives! No trying to impress other rich snobs or being referred to as merely Luke Wrightâs wife...

Pointed ears twitch lightly when he catches the girlâs words on the wind. It seemed she was trying to guess his raceâŚor perhaps she thought he was in some manner of costume? This âHalloweenâ season certainly seemed to make things a bit harder to figure out with some people. Raising a brow, he turned to regard the girl, who seemed to be looking his way. âI can assure youâŚgnomes are much shorter than I am. Likely more handsome too.â
âMy name is Vaxâildan. Iâm a half-elf, if that quenches your curiosity. Youâre human, I suppose?â
â More handsome? Darling, donât sell yourself so short... â
   NOT exactly the kind of reply sheâd expected. Though, it was still a conversation and one she welcomed no matter what they spoke about. The amount of loneliness she felt doubled since sheâd wound up here.
â Hannah Wright, and... Well, if youâre asking if I dressed up as anything, no. I didnât have any ideas or... Time. Half-elf is an interesting take on fantasy, though! Very commendable and creative, dear. â

A business what now?! Not that Majima was particularly opposed to being dubbed as adorable by a lady this pretty⌠Hell, he couldnât find himself complaining at all. It wasnât every woman who took a shine to his getup, so he might as well indulge this one.
âCould have myself a parrot someday.â He mused, hands stuffed in his pocket and chin up as his gaze shifted skywards for a thought, trying to picture the imagery sheâd conjured up of him. âOi, lady. What else do pirates do? Arenât they the villains of the sea or somethinâ?â
Which suited him just right, what with being no flower that smelled himself. But when it came to women, the story was a little⌠different, taking a much softer turn than usual.
âThe nameâs Majima by the way.â Goro, actually. But seldom did he use his first name these days. â Anâ this ainât no costume⌠Tâs how I dress up daily.â Something of a wicked smirk tugged a single corner of his lips. âThat mean Iâm adorable on a daily basis, sis? Mm~?â
   VILLAINS of the sea. It seemed right if her memory serves her correctly. Itâs been so long since she last read or been read a fairy tale. She always adored the oneâs involving princessâ as a child, but now and days, the idea of a knight in shining armor proved less and less appealing. Especially considering her husbandâs recent behavior over the years.
   Some happily ever after, but then again, it could still very well be her fault things ended this way.
â I believe so-! Admittedly, itâs been a while since Iâve watched or read anything involving them, so who knows. Maybe there are some good pirates out there! I suppose it depends on you, darling. After all, it is your costume, is it not-! â
   Suddenly her shoulders jump. Dress like this DAILY does he? Now she simply felt like a damned fool. Of course not everyone is going to be dressing for the holiday. How could she be so naive. No matter. She was trained for these situations. Years worth, at that. Easy as cake.
â Hannah. Hannah Wright. â
â And if thatâs how I dress daily, then adorable would be rather fitting for you, sweetie. Though, I think youâd benefit from a bird or something. What women wouldnât love a man whoâs kind to any animal. â

âWell arenât I still kind? I honestly canât see where any of this sudden aggression is coming from.â
âBut yes, it is a party. And itâs a dull party since all there seems to be is just mingling and the sort. Whereâs the boasting? Whereâs all the paparazzi looking to make good with the shakers and movers? Where are all the backroom deals and the sort? All thatâs happening is people just eating food and having a laughâŚâ
   CANâT understand? Perhaps she was being rather rash... Though with all this talk of his, it reminds her of all the things she hated about living. Especially the paparazzi. Always wondering what the wife of bold Mr. Luke Wright thought of trivial things. Never on important matters, as sheâd come to find. Troublesome, but had she not played her roles, the already troubling ânewsâ (rumors) would increase tenfold.
â Sorry. You are right in... In some ways. There really isnât much going on at this party is there? â
   A pause. How can she fix this...?Â

It was still odd having people not take his casual approach towards death and murder so well. But then again, an assassinâs work rarely was understood from those outside the system.
And those who didnât live in a world gone mad for money.
âExpected better? What is that even suppose to me? Well I apologize if I donât meet up to your standards, whatever they might be, but whatever the case, Iâve always had critics. Critics who simply just couldnât wrap their brains around what Iâm saying. Maybe if you walked a mile in my shoes, youâd better understand what Iâm getting at here.â
   CALM yourself, Hannah. This wasnât worth getting so upset about. Hardly worth it, and the man was nice at the start, no matter how strange he may be acting now.
â Yes, I expected better from a man who was so kind at the start... âÂ
   A sigh. She really shouldnât have let her emotions go this far.
âNever mind. This isnât worth it. We donât know that much about one another. I could walk a mile in your shoes, and in turn, you in my shoes, but thatâd hardly be worth doing just to settle an unnecessary and mile argument. Especially when weâre suppose to be enjoying ourselves. Itâs a party for heavenâs sake! People are suppose to be laughing and having fun... â

âAwful? Well, maybe for the cleaning crew, but not really.â
âHonesty, anyone big enough to be an important deal in the corporate world knows they have a target painted on their back. Unless theyâre willing to play ball and not shake the boat too much, getting targeted for assassination is hardly a big deal. Really, unless youâve had someone contract a hit on you, then youâre still considered small fry from where Iâm from.â
   WAS this guy for real? This had to be some stupid joke to get under her skin.
â My husband had to deal with these situations, unfortunately... I loved Johannes, he was a kind man, but Iâm not stupid if I didnât know why my husband so quickly hired him as our butler. I donât... Iâm sorry, but I hardly understand where youâre coming from with this being interesting for you. -And pardon my tongue, but... I had expected better. â

âOh, itâs just a bit of murder. Well, not even murder, just assassination. Honestly, back where Iâm from, if your party didnât have at least one person getting shot in the head while they were talking, it was hardly worth mentioning.â`
â How awful... â
â I donât understand how that could be even the least bit enjoyable to witness! Iâve held my fair share of parties myself, but we didnât need murder to have them become the talk of the town for a week-- â

   THERE was that beautifully rude women again. Celebrating with the rest, and yet standing out with just her skin tone alone. The thought that this is what makes her so easy to find sends a chill down Hannahâs spine. A habit she needs to work on removing on a later date. For now, she draws closer, a cup of water in hand and a calm, friendly smile accompanying it. Maybe her rude words from last time was simply because they hadnât spoken much. Nothing a little friendly banter wonât hurt, right?
â Lovely to see you again, dear. Are you enjoying the party? â
