“Hm....” Samus kept silent for a bit, staring at Adachi for a bit.

“You can follow me. For some odd reason your shittiness grew on me. I’m going to the temple though. It reminds me of home.” The last bit, albeit a little personal, was her reason to heading toward.

“I feel like I’m back on Zebes again. It’s weird. I’m almost expecting my dads to greet me like nothing happened.” She mumbled a little, shoving her hands in the pockets of the jacket around her waist.

Looking off to the temple, her frown became a little sadder than pissed off. “Maybe I should pray before I enter the temple. I don’t want to anger the gods...”

“Samus…? Oh, hey…” Adachi looked up, watching the dissatisfied bounty hunter approach him. He sat on the cold, stone ground, obviously in despair about something. A shadow was behind him, unmoving, steadily dissolving into the air. Adachi held his pistol in his hands, sluggishly loading more rounds in.

“It’s kind of irritating you know, having something once dear to you, now attempting to stab you in the back,” He sighed, clicking his his revolver back into place. Getting up, Adachi brushed himself off, twirling his gun between his fingers.

“But who cares, I want out of this place,” He shrugged, walking up to Samus, “So, which way are you headed? I wouldn’t mind escorting a lady like yourself, haha,” Adachi smiled, now in what seemed to be a whole new mood.

Samus was a little shocked in the drastic change of everything, she didn’t even need her jacket, in fact it was no tied against her waist as she adjusted her zero suit a little to give it more breathing space. The whole atmosphere reminded her of Zebes, it was oddly comforting, but also enough to keep her an anxious wreck. The reminder that her home had become so hostile was enough to make her just want to brood, as the shadows, despite their vastly different look, reminded her greatly of the Space Pirates. Samus was just going to brush it off and blame her over active brain.

Trekking through the woods and finding marks to create a mental map wasn’t too hard, she was used to it already as she managed to soon find a very nice clearing. And in that clearing? Tohru.....??

What was he even doing? Was he brooding? Now wasn’t the time for that, already she let out another sigh just seeing him. She’d been sighing a lot today, she was aware of that, but that was her only real way to express her complex emotions without going into too much detail.

“Do you ever actually do what’s appropriate for the situation? This is an easy way to get killed.” She scowled lightly, it was hard for her to imagine people having a life that wasn’t fight or die every second of the day. So seeing anyone without that mentality in dangerous situations annoyed her, he was just so willing to brood in such a dangerous area? If she were to do that, she’d be dead.

It was weird wearing her undersuit again, but knowing she wasn’t going to put on her power suit. Even on her so called Zero Mission where she was left with a destroyed suit for a short amount of time she knew with enough searching she’d get it back, here her suit was her so called persona. A really ironic fate really, it was meant to enhance her powers, make Samus powerful. But instead it became her identity, it became Samus.

Much like how things were back in her own universe, the demons were trying to make her do something, but obviously too scared to do more than just yell at her. She knew how threatening she always looked, it was from years of wearing that cold and empty shell that she became it, and with that she went from looking like a woman who saw too much, to a woman who knew nothing except violence. And sadly, that’s how she was.

With a great sigh, Samus put on a different jacket than normal, it was a bomber jacket. It had the symbol of the chozo on it’s back and a screw attack symbol on the front. IT was supposed to represent her, a fan mae it and she grew a liking to it quickly.

Shoving her hands in the jackets pockets, she did a check to make sure her stun gun was on her leg firmly and walked out of her house, to the pit, and stopped. She stared at it for a bit, not knowing what to expect, but she jumped. 

Upon landing she found herself in a place that reminded her almost of home, with the beautiful but dark jungle. The only difference was there was a sky. Despite her perfect landing (that mind you, was very graceful for such a jump) Samus still looked disappointed in something.

Perhaps she knew this time being alone was no option. She was too weak by herself without her suit. 

“This is shit.”

[thechozone-blog]

Samus had been sitting in her home that morning drinking coffee after a jog. Another sleepless night greeted her, and she was ready to treat the day as normal. That was at least until the earth shook violently below her.

Shock filled her face as the feeling of the earthquake brought back some horrible memories. Some terrible, terrible things that the memory launched her back into her own universe.

Samus, you’re needed on the planet SR388, the condition is critical. All researchers have disappeared, possible Metroid life signs have been detected.

The voice of a commander rang in her head, like the order was yesterday. Going through the planet seemed easy though, she could easily get through it all no problem. At least until the violent tremors took control of the planet.

SR388 is known to have frequent shifting of its many plate tectonics, due to that the planet is considered inhabitable by Galactic Federation standards. Whenever one of the shifting occur, the entire area above ground changes. Be careful, it’s known to cover up places and hide others, so you may lose contact with your ship at certain points.

And were they right. She lost contact, but found perhaps the most shocking thing. Innocence and love from the thing she considered her enemy. 

It didn’t take long for Samus to flash herself back out, as the noises of panic from outside were enough.

Samus closed her eyes, wondering just how much of her life was doomed to be the same violence filled horror. She knew something was happening though, she never knew an earthquake without meaning.

Sighing and getting up, she left the comfort of her home with only a blanket around her and a sweater on and it didn’t take much investigation before she found the massive hole back in the ground.

She was back in her own hell again. Doomed to repeat it all. She ignored the urges to go in the hole, just to stare at it for a bit. 

Without her suit, how ready was she really? She hated how weak she was without it, it reminded her how human she was.

But she also knew she had a duty.

How would you react if you were an SA-X?

“Try and figure out why I was different and make sure no one got a hold of me.”

[thechozone-blog]

How would you react if you were a metroid?

“I’m not sure how smart those things are actually... but honestly, with the way things are going I would probably accept my fate.”

Samus listened. Her face was grim and it seemed all filters she put herself through melted as she looked at him with sad but caring eyes. She related all too well, and he was true about it too.

“Perhaps being oblivious is true happiness. As the world is suffering, only you yourself can find that niche of happiness. Although being oblivious really does seem like the happiest moments. As every action you do no matter how many good intentions are put into it will hurt someone, but not realizing that always brings the happiest of fools I suppose.” How much she hated talking. She hated running her mouth but it felt the only right words came through long sentences and pulling her lips into a tight line.

“When I was a kid I looked at the universe with wonder, excitement, and happiness. No matter what was thrown at me I would always keep that wonder about me. I wanted to do good my whole life... I wanted to help people, those who couldn’t help themselves. I worked hard since I was three... I trained constantly and barely stopped even allowing genetic modifications to take place just to achieve my dream of doing good.”

Samus clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, trying to keep the tears from escaping. She hadn’t cried in years, why was she feeling like it now? Perhaps it was the weight of her regrets finally catching up and sinking her deeper into despair than before.

“...I did that good but to what cost? I lost my home planet... Zebes... and a lot of ancient documents because of me... A whole species, my own friends... hell, even someone I loved more than I could ever have loved myself I lost because of my mistakes. Why am I telling you this... ah, I’m not sure myself but....”

Samus brushed her hair from her faces before sinking her head into her hand and resting there for a few seconds.

“I’ve seen so much sometimes I wonder why I’m alive.”

This was perhaps the most honest she’s been with anyone. 

“But sometimes I remember I’m alive because I’m the last person that can do good in this cruel universe. Even if people I thought of as allies betray me. I try and remember this girl I once knew.... Ah, but telling you her tale would probably bore you.”

Truly… Happy?

Adachi’s mug hung in mid air for a brief moment, frozen along with his hand from the sudden inquiry Samus had laid out.

“Happy? Well, I’ve been pretty happy at times, like now even!” His smile came back for a fraction of a second, “Happy to have splendid company like you over,” Though his words didn’t falter, his expression seemed to sink, knowing quite well Samus would see through it.

Adachi’s thoughts went back to the sinful deeds from his past. Thinking back, what seemed like joy and bliss from those activities only seemed like something to fill in for real happiness. No, murdering those women didn’t make him truly happy. Neither did his intentions to rid the world of human thought - sure he never really wanted to turn everyone into shadows… he just thought everyone would be better off, despite the loss.

“There… was a time. When I dreamed about true happiness,” Adachi’s gaze went to his cracked, red mug on the table.

“When I was still a little kid, naive and oblivious, I dreamed of becoming the best freaking detective I could be -” He bit his lip in what seemed to be mild frustration, “Though the pursuit of such dreams led me to the realization of just how shitty the world really is, and my dreams were shattered.”

Adachi’s eyes slowly came back up to Samus’s, “I guess you could say I was happy as a kid, but how can you call it true happiness when you’re just oblivious to everything around you?” He didn’t expect her to answer, he simply picked up his mug and took another swig of whiskey.

“Maybe because that’s what it would look like if you kissed some chocolate.” She shrugged, unwrapping one and giving one to Mili before popping another in her mouth.

Almost instantly her nose shriveled up as a look of disgust came onto her face before she forced herself to swallow. “I... don’t like sweets.” she sighed, regretting eating that, at least Mili seemed to enjoy the sweets.

“Are you enjoying your tea?”

Now he’s embarrassed for the outburst, but he’s not going to apologize for it. Not with a ton of chocolates in his mouth, at least. He tries to explain their origin, but it comes out as a garbled mess. Tentatively he retrieves more from his pockets and hands her another handful of chocolates, wrapped this time. Swallowing hard, his shoulders shrink and he picks up the cup of tea–except it’s hot, and he winces as he nearly drops the cup. If it weren’t for the fact that he’d made a point of picking it up with two hands, there would have been a mess. 

“They’re called kisses, for some reason. They don’t kiss, that’d be gross, but they taste good.”

[thechozone-blog]

“Where’d you get that and why are you aggressively shoving it in your mouth?” She asked before giving him a hot cup of tea.

“If you choke I’m gonna laugh.” She closed her eyes and sipped some of her own tea while it was still hot. It was odd having Claus at her house, since she was used to Togami or Tohru coming over. Samus gave a little pet to Mili before awaiting a response once he finished swallowing.

Looks up at you.

AGGRESSIVELY SHOVES A HANDFUL OF HERSHEY KISSES INTO HIS MOUTH BECAUSE FUCK YOU. Who knows why he’s being so moody, but chocolate was a good answer to everything. Also, fuck you.

“Good, glad your dumb mind could be fine about something.” She was trying to be smart, and thought her wit was there so she just flipped her hair and turned around.

“Hopefully you can shut your fucking face from now on.”

While he doesn’t say anything at first, his face does more than enough to convey that yes, he does have a problem with that.

“Oh, no, I’m just hunky-dorey about getting beer poured on me.”

That sure is a lot of grumpy sarcasm in his voice.

[thechozone-blog]

“It was to get your annoying ass to shut the fuck up, that’s what.” 

Her voice was cold but got wildly slurred at one point, showing just how drunk she really was even if she tried hiding it. She wasn’t gonna let some annoying man just ruin her night of getting drunk at a bar.

“Got a problem with that?”

Excuse you, he’s trying to talk to this little round fella about some great movies. It’s a bit one sided, sure, and he’s slurring a bit for sure, and also the amount of sense he’s making is questionable, but that’s no reason to go and pour your drink on him!

“And what in tarnation was that for?”

[thechozone-blog]

@fracturedresilience

She just stands up and pours beer all over Jack’s head. His drunk rambling was pissing her off and she just wanted to get drunk in peace so how dare he.

Unchained Melody

“Well, stuff like that’s usually done better sooner than later, right? Long term investment and development, and all that. Especially in terms of ‘bonds’.”

It seemed like wherever he came from, the kind of casual socialization May was used to was less commonplace. “I mean, back in your Organization, or whatever, they probably had you guys work together a lot? Or maybe not. Either way, point is, it’s never a bad idea to get to know who your allies are.”

She pondered something for a bit. “Mmm. I haven’t been out near the far edges yet. It seems pretty scary, but I get the feeling you can probably handle yourself. Would you mind helping me maybe check around some places? We could get some recon, and experience pairing up! If there are any shadows, well, it shouldn’t be too hard to run away, or our personas might save our asses. Win-win, am I right?” She seemed quite taken with this idea now, ignoring the relative newness of both of them. It vaguely occurred to her the other may not agree, but no harm in asking, right?

➳♥ ((fuck it i'm curious))

10. Shoulder

She tripped on her own feet. Her own god damn feet. The best bounty hunter, known for her strength and grace just tripped on her feet. To make it worse she just kissed this poor girl shoulders in the process then fell down more trying to pull back.

Samus just decided sitting there was for the best because if anyone caught wind that she tripped on her own feet like that when she’s know for doing somersaults mid-air and various acrobats. Embarrassing.

➳♥ (hoo boy)

5. Lips

It was a quick kiss to the lips, but long enough to realize how warm Samus was and how chapped her lips were despite their soft appearance. Still, she pulled away a few seconds afterwards and looked at the girl. Kissing really was a great way to make people stop talking as this girl went from rambling to staring in absolute shock, which Samus retaliated to that with a very small smirk.

At least this chick was cute, even if she didn’t really dig girls a lot.

➳♥

6. Cheek Kiss

Samus just really wanted this guy to be quiet but wasn’t willing to kiss some stranger on the lips. A kiss always got people quiet anyways and he was rambling so a quick kiss and then a wave good bye was it. What a great end to a conversation. What a great way to escape so she could go home and just cuddle with her new bird child.
