“Nice.” Kai smiled and walked into the café. To their luck, there was a man behind the counter. She turned to Phillip. “Want something to eat?”

"Would be nice." He said, taking a seat in the far corner of the room, embracing the comfort of the red cushions.

Kai walked up to the counter and did what she always did, conned her way into what she wanted. Not long after, she sat next to Phillip, a smirk on her face. "I got a couple of sandwhiches. I haven't eaten for ages."

"What did you do, exactly to con your way?" He asked instantly, keeping his voice low.

Kai looked away. "You don't want to know. I don't plan to do what I said I would," she said flatly.

Phillip nodded slowly, smiling, "I have only been here once... On my birthday." His head lowered slowly, "This was when my parents found out..."

Kai looked back to him and smiled weakly. “My parents threw me out of the house. Kinda. I just agreed to leave. They didn’t really care about me. They beat me like all hell too. Some scars will never fade,” she said, lowering her eyes to the hands in her lap, her mind fixed on the worst beating her father ever gave her. She was nine years old.

Phillip looked at her, placing his hands on the table, "Sorry to hear that." The mutter escaped from his lips as his head began stirring and he slumped. His eyes closed and his brain shut down.

(Wtf? What is that supposed to mean for Kai?)

(He was just knocked out. He dropped out of consciousness.)

(If he got knocked out then you would have to say that someone hit him. I thought he just had a stroke or something.)

(He did have a stroke.)

(Gah!!! Don’t April fool me. What happened bro, you’re confusing me)

(He had a stroke. You will see what happens soon enough... someone is trying to get into his brain.)

(Oh wow. That’s kinky.)

Kai looked at him, slightly confused. “Um… Are you okay?”

(Wait, scrap the post where I just... dropped to the table and slumped, I have a better idea.)

Phillip sighed as his head began pounding and the world around him shook, "I..." His words slurred as everything seemed it was going in slow motion.

(Cool)

Kai placed a hand on his chest as Phillip began to slump forwards. "Are you okay Phillip?"

"Fine..." He murmured, her voice echoing around in his head, "I just... don't feel so good..."

"Do you want to go?" She asked, sitting Phillip back a bit.

He shook his head, placing a hand in the air as his vision began to blur and every sound echoed in his head, "I just... Need to have a break." He smiled grimly before entering the male's toilets.

Kai sat at the table and started to do her usual routine, hacking. She didn't find everything she needed in one spot. It was going to take her a few days at least.

As he entered the bathroom, he fell to his noise, gasping as his head pounded. He moved a hand to his head and groaned - this was worse than last time - much worse. Phillip sighed, trying to get to his feet, but his hands slipped and his head slammed against the ground.

Kai stopped her work after a while and rubbed her temples. What was taking Phillip so long? She contemplated leaving the table to go look for him but the man had given her the sandwiches already so she started to eat hers.

Half way through her meal, a tall, thin, young man - perhaps in his early twenties - walked over to her table and sat across from her. Great, she thought. One more prick to deal with.

"'ello lil' lady." He said, in a western accent as he extended his hand and placed it on hers, revealing a set of black teeth.

(Ew)

Kai retracted her hand, not liking the fact that a stranger would touch her so casually. "H-hello," she stammered, wishing Phillip would hurry up and get out of the bathroom.
