Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama was in the corner, somehow looking even worse than before. After her make out session with Ami, you'd think she'd feel better. But nope, worse. There were just... trays of food. Even Usagi would have called it quits by now. The staff were probably getting worried she'd explode at any minute. but she looked as thin as ever. There were already a few rumors that she was dying and had some fatal disease, so everyone was staying away from her.

Of course, she was fine with that as she scarfed down her chili cheese fries. And a poor couple that had sat near her had actually passed out at their tables. Those who came too close to her would start to feel drained, a little. Slowly draining their energy. So slowly.

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    Normally Eilam was not one to come to such places. But honestly, he needed a break. Life was starting to get to him, the Return card seemed to have returned to him, to some degree, or at least was lazily haunting something about him despite his efforts to figure out a way to deal with it. Not that he even really knew it as such, just that it was some kind of 'card' and causing him issues. Then again, even as he made his way to the second floor, considering getting something to eat to satisfy his boredom while he thought of what to do, his attention was drawn to the girl sitting alone who was eating everything in sight.
    The drained people near her did catch his attention but he didn't /directly/ assume the worst. After all public napping wasn't too uncommon in Japan. Instead, Eilam, who was currently dressed down only a tiny bit in that he had the suit of his attire off and hanging from the top of the stave he had with him as a walking aid instead of on himself, made his way closer to Unmei before asking the obvious, "Usually those who come to an arcade have limited funds to spend, but here you are eating a lot - are you going to be able to pay for such?" An indirect way to see if something was wrong.

    Though to be fair, Unmei might recognize him, they both went to Infinity and at least he was somewhat known as being the actual one who was dying. Supposedly. Terminally ill with some condition that would be the death of him eventually(tm). And for being moderately attractive and seemingly rich to boot despite his health.

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama glanced up with a cold look. "I've paid for everything here," she said, her voice like ice. "And I have plenty of money." Robbing an ATM would do that. She was... well, she hadn't been to school for a while. There were rumors that she had been suspended, because people had seen her out of school. Not surprising, as over the last week her... behavior had gotten worse.

She'd even attacked another student. Slammed her into the wall and stole her lunch. Then she'd ran away and hadn't been back since. She was panting, a lot, and devouring the food.

She glared at him. "Who are you? Do you go to my school? Are you looking for a fight?" she asked, bearing her teeth. "Are you one of... Takashi's friends?"

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    "...well, you sure are surly."

    Eilam sounded faintly amused, like someone trying to pet a cat that decided to start hissing for no real reason. "Do I look like some school-aged thug? I can barely stand on my own, let alone fight someone. And I might go there, yes, though I do not know you in particular?" He wasn't wearing his school uniform at the moment either, and had in fact missed said rumors. "If you really wish to be left alone to sit here seemingly upset and to waddle away too full to move, by all means I can leave you alone. However, would you not rather have someone to talk to? Or at least not be alone? I mean why come all the way to an arcade just to hide in a corner and stuff yourself like a holiday goose? You could have easily done that somewhere more quiet."

    Eilam still just stood nearby, though he was leaning against his stave a tiny bit more than before. A subtle change that someone who didn't know him might not pick up on readily.

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama lowered her eyes. Then nodded. 'O-okay. You can sit with me." And devoured another batch of chili cheese fries. Being the living embodiment of gluttony kiiiiiiiind of sucked. A lot. She then... "can you get me some more chili cheese fries? A lot more?" And then held out about 2,000 yen. "Just... just get what you can with this. I don't get how any of their money just... works here. I swear there's no sense to it." Before grabbing a shake and draining it.

Once he came back, though, she'd lean on him. "It hurts. I'm so... hungry. But nothing feeds it....:"

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    "..."

    What could he even say in response to that? Not much came to mind that seemed to make sense. Instead of going terribly far away, though, Eilam turned and motioned to someone who worked there to deliver the order, as well as pausing to pull out something from his wallet and offer it over, ordering something of his own. Being leaned on as he sat down surprised him a bit, not really doing much beyond going along with it. "What hurts? It might not be hunger causing your pain, it might be something else causing your hunger. I could recommend some pain medications, but they would be better suited for horses than schoolgirls, so I cannot quite think that would be good for you."

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama gave a laugh, shaking her head. "Nah. I downed a whole bottle of tylenol. It didn't do anything. MAgic just eats it all away. Doesn't even affect me in the slightest," she said with a laugh, shaking her head. She then took the lid off her shake and downed it in seconds. "Oh, it's hunger. A horrible, horrible hunger. Not just for food, for anything I want. No matter what I take, though. IT doesn't... stop. Ever. No matter what I do." She gave a soft whimper and closed her eyes.

"I even kissed this nice, blue haired girl..."

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    Magic? Hm. She was fairly open talking about such things. It was always awkward when people acknowledged such. Does he admit he was aware of magic? Try to hide it? Well, maybe it would be obvious at some point. "Should you really be saying such things out loud? What if someone heard you claim you took that much medication?" He didn't speak to the kissing some blue-haired girl, if only because there wasn't much to say there. Instead, he tried a different approach. "Something has to be causing your problem, though. Instead of trying to medicate the symptom, perhaps you should try and figure out the cause? No point taking tylenol for a broken leg when you should be getting a cast instead, right?"
    About that point the staff member brought over six more orders of Unmei's things and two chili fries, no cheese, for Eilam. Six was more than her 2000 would have gotten, but she was bad at figuring it out, so maybe him rounding up to getting her another might go overlooked as he picked up a fork and started to eat his.
    "A pity they do not even use real chili, it's this fake sauce crap. But what can I expect, it's an arcade."

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama shrugged. "Don't care. Can't even taste it. It's like... so much..." she mumbled, closing her eyes and leaning against him. "I'm so hungry. But I just... I...." She shuddered and then grabbed great handfuls, pulling it into herm outh and swallowing it down, coughing and sputtering.

"I don't know what it is. A-and I don't care if they... if they get mad or find out. everyone just forgets, you know? When they see it? When they notice magic. They just... forget. It makes it so easy. Yuo might not even remember this conversation. You know?"

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    Even an ageless, practically immortal being could find himself a little disgusted at times. And the only thought that went through his head was 'I can only hope she didn't kiss whatever poor girl with her mouth and hands like that.', suddenly picturing said poor blue-haired girl with a face full of the mess that Unmei was at the moment

    "That's silly, who could forget such a sight as a cute girl like you eating like that? Though I do not think... going about things how you are will help too much." It almost made him lose his appetite. Almost. He /had/ seen worse, so that kind of behavior was hardly too offputting.

    Just a bit.

    "Have you always been this hungry? Try to think about it. If you weren't, when was the last time you felt normal? Rather... can you think of anything that might have caused you to wind up like this? Or when did you start feeling this way?"

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama shook her head and stared up at him. "When I felt... normal?" And then stared up at him. "Normal? What's normal? I felt normal when I was... five? I think? Not being normal is why I became this! Why I took this. why I am this. Because I wanted to be me. But this... this is almost worse. Almost. I just... a part of me wants to take it off. I-I know it's causing it. But... but..."

"... I'd just... rather... die. Than that. Than going back to... that. To being who i was. I can't... handle it. Not anymore. Not... ever again."

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    "You know... that sounds a lot like someone who is not taking their medication for bipolar disorder. I used to know someone like that, who did not like how the medication made them feel, so they would stop taking it and just not be themselves anymore. Instead it was something else. Sure, it might not be how they are 'normally', but it was a better self than the one they thought was better."

    Reaching down, Eilam pushed his fries over towards her, "Chopsticks, use them, please. Even if your hansds are already a mess, no reason to make it worse,. And while you are at it, perhaps you care to share what it is that is causing it? What is your medication that you are not taking, per chance?"

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama ignored him, and just took another handful. Oddly, her face seemed... almost clean. There was no way she was getting it all in her mouth. But her face still managed to be clean of food. Her clothes were filthy, but it was as if magic was absorbing it or something.

"M-medication? I don't have medication. It's all magic, you know? This is... this is what it does. This is all that it does," she mumbled, shaking. "It lets me be... me? but then... then it changes it. Hee hee. It makes it... worse. Careful what you wish for, right?"

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    "I meant... nevermind, that went over your head. There's that talk of magic again... what do you believe gives you your magic? In all the manga and anime, magical girls have some kind of wand or cute thing with them to give them magic, right? So you probably do too then."

    He decided against arguing the logic of stuffing her face with her hands, instead trying to nudge the topic towards something he might be able to manage

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama nods. "O-of course. The Clotho's fate jewel, idiot." She tapped her chest. "Where do you think it comes from? And it is giving me lots of power. It just... it just hurts sometimes. Too. It..." She looked up at him...

Then pounced. Grabbing him and kissing him on the lips. Firmly. With tongue. Her handso n his face.

Fortunately, her MOUTH seemed clean. Despite the stuff she'd been eating, it didn't taste like it at all. Unfortunately, her tongue, his mouth.

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    He looked where she tapped, listening, contemplating how to try and separate the girl from the source of the magic which was supposedly source of her problems. However, Eilam didn't really have too much of an opportunity to plan anything out or even try to enact it before he found himself held rather simply in place by two rather insistent hands and the girl they were attatched to against him. There was a moment where he tensed up, but a thought passed his mind and instead of pushing her away, he returned such, even going so far as to lean into the effort with one arm slipping over her shoulder.
    The hand of the other arm came to rest against her stomach, hoping she found herself occupied with the assault on his decency, fingers moving underneath the edge of the shirt ever so slowly in an attempt to rub along her stomach, up to her midsection and finally to try and wrap his fingers about the gem and forcibly tug it away from her. While he wasn't remotely the strongest, he did try to wrap his hand fully about it if he could, to at the very least try and pull it away from directly touching her. That, and with the arm around her shoulders, she might not be able to respond too quickly about it.

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama was kissing him, a lot, and actually enjoying the response from it. Wow, going for her bosom? Such a--

Then she felt his hands. There was a flash of rage in ehr eyes. "I'll kill you," she growled, one hand grabbed his wrist, the other hand latching out to grab around his throat as she tried to choke him, shoving him hard to send them both onto the ground. There was a low spark of magic coursing through his hands and he could feel the hunger, the need to feed coursing through the gem, then into his hands. She didn't henshin, but she did slam a knee into his... well, groin ,trying to get him to let the gem go.

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    The way the gem was stuck caught him by surprise, having been expecting it to be some kind of pendant or necklace setup. Instead, it was just... part of her, attatched. Which meant his attempt to separate the two failed, including the feedback, combined with the attack on him on her part did a fairly good job of having his hand open. He was incredibly weak, as she would find out, in fact as she did her best to choke and make him feel some measure of pain as well, the hand parted properly from the gem and was easily enough parted from beneath the shirt. There wasn't too much response from Eilam, still conscious, but certainly in pain and not really able to fend her off, magically enhanced strength or even normal girl strength. "I could... ghk... have tried to..." he mumbled out, the choking being fairly effective, "...taken advantage... but... d help... ead."
    The onus was entirely on her, though, if she continued to try and harm him there was little to no resistance on his part.

Unmei has posed:
Unmei Tama screamed and drew a lot of attention then, as she attacked him, full on, punching and kicking and... "You monster!" she yelled, hitting him with a closed fist, again and again, before finally just grabbing a fork in her hand and, well, stabbing him. "YOU BASTARD!" She stabbed him three times before realizing what she did.

Altogether, not the most effective weapon, but it drew blood. She then looked at the now bloody fork, got to her feet and ran, shoving people out of the way as she fled.

Within moments, people were running up to find out what happened and see if he was okay, or needed a doctor.

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    That was... a very visceral difference between 'sad fat kid from willy wonka' and 'crazed girl', enough that Eilam was still caught by surprise, though tried to do something that may or may not have worked too well. He had a tracking device with him at all times in the form of a cufflink on his shirt. More so his assistants could find him/figure out where he was if his health became a problem for him. But, in the ensuing attack, as his arm slid down, he fumbled and attempted to slip the cufflink from his cuff into her pocket. It was small, yes, and might even go unnoticed entirely should he succeed if she didn't really dig about such pocket.

    Though beyond that, he found himself just laying there, fairly stunned and looking far worse than he was thanks to his curse working to undo her damage shortly after it had been done. "N-no... I... I am... I will be... okay." he managed to stumble out, taking one persons assistance in getting up and sitting down as he reached to take a napkin and start to try and wipe his face off. He really needed to get out of there before any police were called, he didn't quite care to deal with that crap. Sadly, a scene was already made, and chances are his image was going to get attatched to it, which already worried him as it was. He didn't /like/ having scenes made with him in public.
