[ you spy with your little eye someone who isn't being quite as stealthy as they think they are. a tall, dark figure (maybe handsome?? we just don't know), loitering in alleyways, behind buildings, up on rooftops... it's hecka creepy. if you approach fast enough, zero doesn't run away!

and sometimes, they even initiate conversation., with things like, ] Wanna go kill stuff?

[ ...yep. ]

[Going up?? Kouha's not sure how smart of an idea that is, considering how easy it is to get trapped up there if they're followed inside, but he still follows after Zero.

(If Zero jumps out a window or off the roof, Kouha may just have to scream.)]

[ zero paces for a moment, looking out windows to figure out which way out is the best. they pick out a route.

it involves a lot of jumping.

they look back at kouha, but only briefly, then step up onto the windowsill before smoothly jumping down and across to the nearest roof. ]

Seriously!?

[Rude af, Zero. He should have known this is what was going to happen, but he apparently had too much faith in a stranger!!

He curses under his breath, trying to figure out how to get across. There's no way he's making it on his strength alone (his legs are way too short and skinny to jump that far, even without having run for blocks to get here), so he'll have to cheat a bit.

If Zero's watching, they'll get to see a pink, sparkly transformation sequence centered on Kouha's legs, which are suddenly covered in gemstones growing out of his skin. With this, he can jump (or, more accurately, fly) over to the next rooftop.]

[ HAHA get on their level kouha! zero's in a hurry! they're jogging across the rooftop—pretty slowly, given their usual pace—but they glance back, only to see the end of the transformation and the resulting gemstones.

a source of power? or a sign of power?

zero keeps running. they can't fly, but they can move fast, which is enough to get away from their pursuers. ]

[It's flying, technically, but Kouha does keep touching down on the rooftops every so often, just to conserve energy. It looks like a ridiculous level of hop-scotch, but if it works, it works, right?]

Man, do you ever run out of energy!? Are you some kind of robot or something?

[The speed Kouha can mostly keep up with, but the never-ending stamina is something else. It's impressive, but Kouha doesn't want to phrase it that way when it's putting him out.]

[faceplate]

[ well, zer0's probably not a robot. they'll run out of stamina eventually. still, they manage to keep their speed up until they're well out of range of their pursuers. then zer0 ducks behind a structure so that they're also out of sight, and takes a break while peering around for any sign of other danger. ]
