Mihono Bourbon

//Pinned 🧵

@TrainerAmamiya *Bourbon’s ears flick, listening intently.* I default to your judgement. Is an alternate route preferable? *She scans the area, still not entirely convinced of her safety. The shadows created by street lamps and other artificial light seem especially menacing*

@Bourbon_Wing *The two get to an alleyway near the apartment. Joker closed her eyes as she returned to normal. Give a sigh of relief.* We made it. Let's go in, my room is on the 23rd floor. The elevator should be working. Wait... maybe we don't go with the elevator...

//@TrainerAmamiya *After already running into her first ever near death experience. Bourbon stumbles through the hallway trying to get herself to calm down and to put as much distance between where she was and herself as possible*

@TrainerAmamiya *Bourbon followed close behind. Not racing, and instead focusing on following, Bourbon is able to properly pace herself and control her breathing. Unexpected training is something she won’t complain about however.*

@Bourbon_Wing *Joker gave a nod and a smile.* Go! *She dashed off towards the direction of her apartment. Going through a few alleyways just in case. Luckily, traffic was light and the Uma lanes were free leading up to the apartment.*

@TrainerAmamiya Affirmative. *Bourbon readies herself to stay close. Tracen could wait a few days for her return. At least until Bakuna found a new target.* Ready.

@Bourbon_Wing Alright, then follow me to my apartment. We need to get away from here fast, let me take the lead, and keep close while we run.

@TrainerAmamiya *Bourbon thinks to herself before answering* Desire to be alone is diminished after prior encounter. Apartment option sounds preferable. If isn’t impose I will accept.

@Bourbon_Wing Ah... I was honestly gonna bring you to my apartment. Yes, I know how awkward that would be but at least you won't be alone and authorities are nearby. We can get your camping equipment if you think being somewhere out in the wilderness is safer and more comfortable for you.

@TrainerAmamiya *Whoosh—* *Bourbon held on as they escaped the building in dramatic fashion. She lets go after, hearing the grunt Ren had made* Are you alright? Apologies for any discomfort. I am prepared to continue if you are. However, I’m lacking my camping equipment..

@Bourbon_Wing She shot her grappling hook in to the first tree and landed on the sturdiest branch. She shot them to the second furthest on her hook could hit and zipped to that one. Once there, she jumped down the branches and they were back on the terra firma.

// I wanna get my timeline fixed UMA RP/PARODY ACCOUNTS REPLY HERE!!

@TrainerAmamiya Affirmative, commencing “holding on as tight as I possibly can”. *Unfortunate wording from Ren. Bourbon follows her order as any good trainee would. She wraps her arms around Ren, squeezing to remain in place*

@Bourbon_Wing Alright. *Joker looked outside her window. She went over, saw a tall enough tree and nodded.* Bourbon, I need you to trust me. Hold on to my shoulders or waist as tight as you possibly could. We could avoid all sense of danger with my plan.

@TrainerAmamiya R-right, thank you, Ren. [Superheroes have identities to protect do they not? Unintended error] My apologies, Joker. I will follow your lead. *Bourbon stands up now, her expression now under control*

@TrainerAmamiya *Already she felt safer. Words echo in her mind from her former trainer—words that were hollow to her for so long now* [“A trainer is meant to protect their trainees”] *Could those words actually mean something? There isn’t much choice but to try believing again* +

@TrainerAmamiya [A gun….. Trainer has a gun…. Logical considering her reaction to the news. Basic firearm knowledge possessed.] *After seeming conflicted for a moment before nodding. She had decided that it’s better to be safe than sorry.* I will ensure responsible wielding of this firearm..

@Bourbon_Wing Who did you say was trying to get you? Bakushin? Then again, she threatened you and I won't stand for it. *Ren went back to the opened cabinet. She revealed a gun and went back to Bourbon* As my trainee, I don't want you to go out there without a little defense. Here.

@TrainerAmamiya *With nothing going amiss for few more moments, Bourbon is able to stand again. She doesn’t stand long however, opting to sit in one of the chairs.* No prior exp-perience regarding menace that was displayed. Fear of life ending short circuited my motor function.

@Bourbon_Wing Take a breather here then, I know I said I'd take you out of here, but it'd be difficult if something happened to you when we flee. And you don't need to apologize.

@TrainerAmamiya A-affirmative… *never one to disobey an order (whether it was meant to be or not) Bourbon is able to pull herself together slowly.* Currently experiencing inability to stand. I am sorry, Ren. *Even with her getting control of the tears, the rest may take some time it seems.*

@Bourbon_Wing You've just reunited with your friends right? It seems like a waste for you to leave now... *Ren felt the tighten hug, even as an Uma herself, Bourbon's strength is impressive.* I know it's hard right now, but keep your chin up okay?

@TrainerAmamiya It was not a mistake to return was it? My time spent was enjoyable. I do not desire to leave… *Small, quiet sobs escape between her shaky breaths*

@TrainerAmamiya I was previously unaware of how.. how volatile academy grounds have become. *She stifles further tears and attempts to compose herself* [Source of fear, no longer present.] [No longer present] [Behind any corner..!] *She tightens her grip on Ren* +

@TrainerAmamiya *Borubon shivers while being hugged. What feels like the world suddenly rising is actually just her legs giving out* S-system error… fear still present… I-I.. *She cry’s into the hug. Half from fear and sorrow, and the other half from relief at finding some form of safety*

@Bourbon_Wing *Inside the office Ren was shifting through one of her drawers. When Bourbon opened the door and entered, she got up. She had something in her hand.* Bourbon! Oh... Oh no... Come here real quick. *Ren gave the panicked Uma a hug trying to calm her down.* You're safe now...

@Bourbon_Wing "What is happening..."

Potential move of director seat from Shinko Windy to Sakura Bakuna O is categorized as regression, rather than progression. Status: Nervous.

*Whereas before she typically she wore an emotional mask during her daily life, that mask is nowhere near present. Bourbon’s eyes are wide in fear with dried tears staining her face* R-Ren..! This location is secure..? *her eyes dart around the room making sure she was safe.*

[Searching for location of team office.] [Error: too panicked to properly think.] *She turns down hallway after hallway until finally she spots it. Almost tripping over her own feet she swings the door open and subsequently closed behind her*
