[b][u]A cafe in dojoville
4:00 PM[/u][/b]
[i]Cornelia sat at a table outside of the cafe, drinking a cup of tea. She also had a phone out, surfing the internet with it. While she sipped on the tea, she occasionally looked around, observing her surroundings with a subtle preparedness to her. This wasn't for nothing though. Eventually, a rough looking strolling down the sidewalk walked into a store across the street. Soon enough, screaming could be heard inside the store and there was gunfire. It was being robbed. She put down her tea and put her phone in her pocket, running across the street to the store.
Upon entering, it was much louder and the robber noticed her enter he turned to her and noticed a blue glow exit her body. He yelled at her.[/i]
"Stop right there! Don't move!"
[i]In the background, she could see a crying store clerk emptying the cash register. Cornelia stayed still and watched for a brief moment while pointed the gun at her. A sudden shock rattled the gun and he lost aim. Cornelia quickly drew her gun and pointed it at him while the cyber ghost suddenly appeared in front of him, warping his vision of Cornelia while she moved. He shot a couple rounds immediately, but he could not see and missed. Cornelia fired back with precision, hitting him square in the chest three times with her handgun. He stood with a look of surprise before falling to the ground, dead. The cyber ghost entered back into her and she waved to the store clerk and everyone else as she exited.
Cornelia walked back to the cafe and sat down, finishing her tea like nothing happened. She grabbed out her phone and started surfing the web again. [/i]

A man, who was also at the cafe, didn't react to the man robbing the store in a large manner, but when he has seen a random customer stand up and kill the robber with military precision, he seemed definitely intrested, although the expression on his face was calm, behind his slightly sliver-sheened blue eyes he made a mental note to look out for her. He then realised there was no point in making a mental note because he didn't have to. He smiled and turned towards her taking on a friendly demeanour "Hey, nice shooting." It was a hollow complement, but he reasoned he wouldn't need to back it up of everything went to the plan he formulated half a second earlier.

[b]She turned and noticed him while drinking her tea, she replied, talking with an Italian accent,[/b] "Thank you, just trying to keep others safe."
-
"Y'know, because you did that...." He stood up and took a small silver sphere out of his pocket. "Take this." He threw the ball lightly underarm to the woman, almost without doubt she would be able to catch it, given her superb agility dealing with the robbery.
-
[b]And she did catch as easily as he expected. She inspected it closely.[/b] "What is this?"

I'd put it in your pocket now, because holding it for too long makes it..." A sharp pain was felt in the hand that shot up the arm and behind one ear. "...sting..."
-
[b]She cringed at the pain a little bit and quickly dropped it her pocket. She rubbed her hand after.[/b] "Well thanks, I guess, it will come in handy."
-
"Bye." He got up and left. He internally relaxed at the fact she hadn't asked [i]what[/i] the pain was, because he doubted she would like the answer.
-
[b]His relaxation didn't have time to last.[/b] "What was that stinging, by the way?"
-
The man paused for a few seconds. "I don't know, you'll have to ask the manufacturer." It was a bad excuse, as the ball had no markings, but it would probably buy him the time to leave, which he did hastily.
-
[b]As he left, the cyber ghost marked him, keeping track of him via any camera he passed by. Cornelia pulled out the sphere and quickly put it on a table. [/b] "Inspect it, cyber." [b]The cyber ghost then began to observe the sphere to figure out what it was.[/b]
-
It was exactly what he said it was, but there was nothing that might cause a sting. The man smiled as he left the shop. He was not the only one being tracked.
-
[b]She left the sphere on the table and began to follow him from a distance as to not be noticed. [/b]
-
He made a few hard turns, to be sure she was following him.
-
[b]She kept following, preparing the cyber ghost for more potential danger. She seemed fearless to follow him.[/b]
-
[spoiler]is the cyber ghost visible?[/spoiler] The man made his way through dojoville, apparently going somewhere.
-
[spoiler]Sometimes, right now, it would just look like a dim glow coming off of her, occasionally shining in bursts. [/spoiler] [b]She checked her surroundings to see where he could be going while still keeping track of him.[/b]
-
He decided to sit down on a bench, to see whether she was trying to catch up with him or monitor him.
-
[b]When he sat down, she kept walking past, but stopped not to far, looking into the window of a store while still keeping an eye on him with the ghost. [/b]
-
He stood up, and made his way through the city.
-
[b]The ghost took note and she waited a second before continuing, she wasn't giving up anytime soon.[/b]
-
He eventually reached where he was going. His flat. He climbed the stairs and entered his apartment, firmly locking the door behind him.
-
[b]She backed up, standing away from the flat. She realeased the ghost which turned turned invisible, looking for any opening to the flat.[/b]
-
The door was locked, nd all windows were closed.
