"I dunno where I'm from," [i]She quietly mused to herself as she pondered her own little tale, skimming over it from beginning to present.[/i] "Some lab'ratory shithole."
[i]Helena shrugged, pausing to chug what remained of her water, practically throwing it down her gullet, only stopping once the bottle was completely empty, at which point she screwed the cap back on.[/i]
"Lemme see, lemme see... Uh, grown in some lab, moved on t'the streets at, like, twelve, got adopted then, too, raised in space, got here 'bout a month ago."

[i]"Yeah, a fair bit. I tend to keep more towards a less... Aggressive route, with how I do things." [/i]
-
"I just prefer t'shoot things in the face. Or t'blow 'em up. Or both." [i]A simple woman. She just shrugged, making a bit of an "oh well" gesture with her hands.[/i] "But y're a sneaky beaky, then?"
-
[i]"Yeah. It's a lot less messy." [/i]
-
"I see, I see... Stealth's not m'thing, even 'f I [i]can[/i] go full chameleon..."
-
[i]"Full chameleon?" [/i]
-
[i]Instead of explaining, Helena decided to demonstrate, instead, the skin that was visible - including her hair - taking the colours of her surroundings, causing her to blend in as she shifted her cell composition to be akin to that of a literal chameleon.[/i] "Like so."
-
[i]"...That's -blam!-ing dope." Was all Nat could manage to say. [/i]
-
"Thanks," [i]Hel responded with a grin on her face as she returned to normal, her golden eyes carrying a delighted twinkle.[/i]
-
[i]"Do you do that with your biomass thing?" [/i]
-
"Sure did! 'Tis a lov'ly power, I tell ya."
-
[i]"What do you usually use it for?" [/i]
-
"Not dyin'," [i]Came her awfully simplistic reply.[/i] "Since 't heals me."
-
[i]"Oh. So you've never, I dunno, -blam!-ed with people using it?" [/i]
-
"Oh, of course I've! It'd be a shame 'f I [i]didn't[/i] use m'shapeshiftin' t'juke some folks."
-
[i]"Heh. Lucky you." [/i]
-
[i]Helena just smiled, nodding in appreciation.[/i]
-
[i]"So..." [/i]
-
[i]Helena looked back over to Natalie, head tilting to the side.[/i] "So?"
-
[i]"Sooo what do we do now?" [/i]
-
"I've absolut'ly no idea."
-
[i]"Normally a conversation doesn't last this long for me. Either I walk away or its a friend with benefits, or a fight." [/i]
-
"Y'wanna try that FWB thing?" [i]Hel's question came a tad out of nowhere, her voice serious and genuine instead of sarcastic and joking.[/i]
-
[i]Nat's face grew to become a flustered, red face, hot to the touch. Hel's question caught her off guard. "I mean, sure, why not?" [/i]
-
[i]When Natalie blushed, Helena only grinned, though the girl's answer turner that grin into a smile. She folded her hands together, her eyes gleaming with delight.[/i] "Nice, nice... So, d'y'wanna get started?"
-
[i]Nat nodded quietly and sat down on the couch beside Helena. [/i] [spoiler]TS or PM? [/spoiler]
