Things had definitely taken a turn toward strange. Days before her cirque opened, she was invited to join something called the Galatic Tournament. She would have dismissed it entirely if the voice in her head hadn't started screaming. It demanded she go, cried for the fear, the blood, the screams. Both ones she caused, and ones caused by others. Now, sitting on the last ship of her journey, it had finally quieted. Though, it continued to pester her, giving her nothing but the worst migraines. The thing was practically bouncing around inside of her, purring with glee and squealing at the approaching tournament. Adrien leaned her head back, closing her eyes and letting her hood fall from her head. Hair red as fire and blood finally came into view, olive eyes hidden under long black lashes. There were many others in the ship, most of them obviously warriors. She had felt their eyes on her, sizing her up, earlier. Once more, she felt them.
Sh knew what they thought. Who was this woman? She looked human, seemed to be as delicate as a rose, the daggers strapped to her leg her thorns. But what did that matter? She was tiny in stature, small as a waif (though with curves that defied that) and looked like a single hit with floor her. Adrien didn't let any of these thoughts get to her too much. Nor did she pay heed to the darker, dirtier thoughts she picked up in there. She was used to them, all of them. Quietly, ignoring the voice still, she let a slow smile spread to her full lips. Men usually believed all those things before she tore them open; mind, body, and soul.
"Now Arriving."
The ship came to a stop, a final lurch bringing it to it's rest. Adrien raised the hood of her caplet once more, grabbing her bag and filing out. Warriors of all kinds were around her, chatting, sparing, watching. Inside, the voice purred at all the fear leaking from them. Adrien's smile only grew.
"Off to hell we go..." she whispered, the voice agreeing.
