"Excellent" The woman says as I sit down. I lean forward, keeping my head up with my left hand. My right hand is in my pocket, fiddling with Napalm Death.
She takes out several tarot cards and arranges them in a line in front of me. She closes her eyes and starts chanting.
"Ich find ee in person mitubernaturlichermacht..."
Soon, I start to tune out, like I'm listening to a particularly boring lecture with 15 minutes until the end of the school day. I try to pick out specific words, but I only get a few occasional word.
"Hera usunder mordeihn..."
I start to lose focus. My vision is starting to get blurry. Maybe I should get some more sleep.
Yes. With all this stress, maybe I should get some sleep.
When, I look down at the tarot cards. It looks a little like the card that I took from a guy I fought. What was his name? And why did I take it?
"Totul dispare, spiritul tău se încadrează în afară, trimite ..."
By now, it's hard for me to focus on anything. My thoughts are as slow as molasses. Rainbow merely smiles contently.
"I recognized you as soon as you walked in. You are that new Stand User." She says.
It's getting hard to focus on what she's saying. Is she talking about me? What is she saying? Something about a Stand? It's getting hard to think...
"I am called Rainbow" The fortuneteller says. She reaches into her sleeve and takes out a knife. The handle is wrapped in a cloth "My job is to rid this city of troublesome Stand Users. I was content to use more of the delinquents that come to this place to destroy you. But since you are here..."
Rainbow leans close, our faces are barely an inch apart. She puts the knife on the table and slides it towards me.
"Take this knife... and slit your throat"
[] "Wait, what?"
[] "*Attack Rainbow*
[] "No!"
[] "...Sorry, but I need to return some video tapes"
[] "You're crazy! I'm getting out of here!"
[X] *Obey*
My body picks up the knife and raises it towards my throat. That tarot card looks like familiar. Like I've seen it before...
Wait, Stand. is this a Stand? A Stand was controlling that boy, right? Is she a Stand User? There's something I was supposed to remember about Stand Users...
The knife is pressed against my skin.
Wait, there was that boy in green. He was a Stand User. He said that he was here to kill for Dio. Like an assassin...
Stand User... Assassin...
This woman is an assassin!
As soon as I realize this, the knife pierces my neck.
"GHA!" I pull the knife from my throat but it's too late. The knife hit something, and blood is starting to flow freely.
Oh no.... ohnoohnoohnoohnoohno-
What little I know about first aid kicks in and I drop the knife, pressing my hand against the wound. It's not perfect, but if I can slow down the bleeding, I might just make it out of here. But if I hit my carotid artery or my jugular...
No. NO! I can't think about that! Not now! I stumble out of my seat and try to make a break for it. Or at least get some distance between us.
"You must have a strong mind, to resist me like that..." Rainbow says. She grabs the crystal ball and tosses it at me. The glass orb barely misses my head, crashing into the screen of a nearby machine. Rainbow tosses the table to the side with one hand, sending it clattering to the side.
"...But I still intend to end your life here."
Rainbow strikes a fighting position, getting ready to attack.
I look around, with two fingers pressed against my wound. The few people who were playing on the machines are watching the fight, though no one seems to be going for the phone to call the police. Or an ambulance. The manager is listening to his walkman, so getting his attention would be harder than fighting Rainbow.
I weigh my options and...
[] Use Napalm Death to fight back.
[] Attack her with my own knife.
[] Make a run for the bathroom. There may be a first aid kit in there. Maybe.
[] I don't see a flesh bud. Maybe I can reason with her.
[] Run for the exit.
[] Write in your strategy.
