Oshin Jantu
Kiss of Death
Music OOC
An ecumenopolis, a worldwide metropolis whose cosmopolitans were diverse galactic citizens.
No tada or fanfare, the moon's used to life and death night and day, with murder in an instant.
The urban surface was infested with a nest of criminal elements amid polluted streets so strewn.
Bright lights from orbit, orange, a city deceptively vibrant, but with an enthusiasm for violence.
Muggings, killings, by way of a wayward sign, spice dens and drinking establishments nearby.
Congested buildings, sky spires sticking out like sore thumbs beside those skyslums so high.
Flashing billboards begging souls to come inside, strip club on the right, fighting pit on left.
It was night as speeders sped by, whizzing within a lattice of bridges and patchworked platforms.
Vehicles like flies, ships swooping in amid the traffic, highlighted up high in chrome orange haze.
On a surface, if somewhere halfway between the ground streets and tower peaks, one soul came.
Another victim of the cityscape’s poison, drifting along the skywalk, but she didn’t quite conform.
Just a lone figure in the masses of pedestrians, walking with them, those denizens of that world.
Black boots on her feet, tip-tapping on duracrete, a black leather jacket reaching past her knees.
Two arms in its sleeves with two arms concealed underneath; four arms for the Codru-Ji species.
Hair loose in the breeze, an intoxicating scent of fumes; mold smog, old exhaust, cigarette curls.
Homeless man sitting at her left, pack of pirates pacing at her right, the woman just walks on.
Ever aware of her surroundings, open eyes in a maze, ears tuned in to passing conversations.
Someone needed a blaster, another needed women in his lap—words fade as faces are lost.
Ignoring the looks upon her own by those who don’t know that she is a shark in the ocean.
On the prowl, on the hunt, on a mission, swimming in the sea of city streets, and stalking.
Following her target, one man further ahead, keeping his head in check, as he is walking.
Inconspicuous amid the throngs of faces and scents, she keeps distance with her target.
Marches, maintaining visibility with his entourage of guards, across moon’s city carpet.
Where her mark goes, she does not know—whether he will stop at a building left or right.
An arms dealer, perhaps on his way to make a transaction or for a club to spend a night.
Tailing him, Oshin Jantu, an assassin, will introduce herself at the right moment, in time.
She'll find a location best suited to her profession, sneak on up, and take the man’s life.
