fucking damn it! it was a mistake to go mano y mano with krieger right after coming back into the realm of the living; the freakazoid had her on her toes nearly the whole damn time they sparred. even though she had the jump on him by targeting his ass while his guard was down, once he got it up she didn't stand a chance. his robotic adaptions and mutations proved to be too much for her, and she just about barely skedaddled on out of there with her wits intact.
the fast-paced thud of hefty paws and the acrid smell of blood and smoke is what gives away the presence of chicagocrimes. she thunders into camp, and it looks as if somebody went nine rounds on her face, bruised and bloody. she blocks out inquiries retaining to her health, ignores looks of surprise, and merely slinks up to a recently stomped out fire pit. wordlessly, she sucks in a smoky breath and cannons a little ball of embers into the burnt shrubbery, new flames ablazing. chica hunches down, gets comfortable, and then broods, clearly pissed over how everything had crashed and burned for her in the end.
