- It had been a very long night for Lori. She had been to a party, mostly because she felt obligated to go since it was an invitation from a fellow model. Keeping those bonds was important to her. Any connection in her career life was a good one. Though, juggling school, modeling, and her work as a Senshi was a hard thing to keep up with. Add to that, the fact that she was sort of well known for being promiscuous at such parties and she now had a girlfriend and it spelled disaster.
There was on sleezeball at the party that didn't want to seem to take her 'nos' for face value. He must have thought she was just playing some coy game with him. After all she was dressed for the party and drinking for the party, so how could she really not be into him? She must have told him a dozen times that she had a girlfriend. That she was just there to have fun with her 'friends'. But her friends weren't very helpful. Most of them were looking to hook up as well. So while she tried to keep her distance from him, he kept appearing at her side again and again.
Normally she would love the attention, would feed off it, but it only soured her mood and she actually cut herself off from drinks at some point. When the party finally started to wear itself off she pulled a fluffy jacket around her shoulders and showed herself out.
At first she wasn't quite aware of the fact she was being followed. She wasn't the only one leaving at the time. People were slowly making their way to the streets and heading home. Some in cabs and some hoofing it on their own two feet. She had planned on using her pen to get her home, but as she continued to walk she heard the sound of footsteps behind her. She assumed she was just unlucky and that someone else's home happened to be in the same direction.
That was until a voice called her name and those footsteps got quicker until they were just behind her. It was him. He still hadn't given up and he dared to put a hand on her shoulder. She shook it off and shot a glare in his direction. He put a hand on her arm again and made it clear he definitely wanted something from her. It seemed he had planned on playing nice at first, but that was no longer an option. He had the nerve to think he had cornered some innocent, drunk girl on a street corner all alone in the middle of the night.
"You see, I was trying to hold back for your sake there buddy. But you've taken things a bit too far." Her free hand reached into her pocket. She never went anywhere without her henshin pen. A few words and a little bit of magic late and she was no longer Lori. He now had his hands on Nubi and a smirk crossed her face as the color drained from his.
"I could make this quick." His hand wasn't on her anymore and in fact he started o run away. Useless. She caught up to him quick enough and grabbed his arm, throwing him against the wall of some building.
"I can't let my little secret get out. Are you saying, now that you've seen the real me you don't want me anymore? I'm kind of hurt." She might not have the strength of a lieutenant, but compared to a normal person she was more than capable of overpowering him.
She whispered the name of her magic and one look into his terrified eyes and he was on the floor gasping for breath. "I said I could make this quick. I didn't say I would." He was having trouble breathing, all the better to keep him from screaming out and alerting anyone else to her presence. She watched him struggle a bit, waiting for the effects of her magic to run out. She crouched down to watch him even as she turned around and made a rather funny attempt to crawl away.
When she was done watching him utterly failed she stood and rolled him over with one of her heels pressing into his chest. "Just remember, you asked for this." She leaned down then and reached into his chest, gripping his starseed with enough force earn herself some tears.
"My, seeing you like this is the most attractive you've been all night. Thanks for your contribution." She smiled sweetly and ripped the starseed from his chest. His body went limp and she stood up and walked away. It would be an unpleasant discovery for someone else tomorrow morning. Without even a hint of remorse for what she did she continued on her way home.
