Myrkviðr lacked the luxury of the home-rolled cigarette. Or, perhaps, she just lacked the ingenuity.
Plastic-wrapped packages, box bent round the edges--it had character, and store-bought cigarettes were on every corner, in every mini-mart and they were consistently full of the same amount of tobacco. This side of town--the one upper class parents warned their children about--no one cared about the appearance of its customers.
No one asked questions when you showed up in furs, looking like you had the worst migraine of your life in combination with a killer hangover (you did); they just shut up and took your money.
Coming out of the store, Myrkviðr had felt her fake-intuition begin to tingle down her spine. It was a quiet tickle that gave her the urge to sneeze or made her feel as though small bugs were tickling her arm hairs. It wasn't threatening, and so Myrkviðr didn't bother to feel threatened.
Instead, she went looking for a place to test the value of Parliaments. It was a whim, okay?
She found both the answer to her prickly skin and a fine spot in the same place. Without a care in the word, she shifted to an adjoining wall and gave her chaos-aligned companion a quick look over. If it occured to her that she should probably be afraid, or confrontational, or something, Myrkviðr certainly didn't show it. Other than King, no one had really pressed her to take a side.
"Hey." It was a low, musing tone. "Got a light?"
She was so used to carrying one in her pocket, that Myrkviðr had forgotten it didn't stay with her when she powered up. The outfit didn't exactly come with pockets.
