You leave the apartment building and get hit with the suns blinding lights. Eventually your eyes adjusted and you begin to walk down the street hoping to find a taxi
Half light: keep your head on a swivel. This city looks dangerous.
Suddenly someone calls out for help for anyone to help them.
Perception: do you hear that? It sounds like someone needs help.
Half light: leave them.we don't know who's calling maybe it's a scam.
Volition: at the same time it might not be so it's still good to help people.
Half light: fine go but don't come crying to me if you get gutted.
You run to where you heard the call for help. You see a girl getting mugged at gun point.
You:"hey leave her alone!"
Thug: he looks at you with anger and begins to point the gun at you.
Reaction time: quick you need to move now!
Thug: he pulls the trigger with zero hesitation and the gun goes off.
Reaction time: there's no time to move. Your dead.
Suddenly everything slows to a crawl. You can feel your heart rate accelerate.
Perception: your moving so fast your perception of time has slowed to a crawl.
Half light: this won't last forever quickly rush him and hit him hard.
You run up to him and ready a punch.
Physical instrument: you punch square for the face, breaking his jaw.
Suddenly your heart slows down back to beating at a normal rate and everything speeds up back to normal.
Thug: he walks back dropping his guns and grasping his jaw with both hands.
Half light: hit him again this time kill him.
You: I don't want to kill him
Half light: you don't have a choice it's either you or him.
Physical instrument: you run up and hit again knocking him to the floor And you finish him off by stomping his head into the ground till nothing but a red mush is left.
Volition: that was needlessly violent.
You: you heard the other guy it was either him or me.
Volition: that doesn't mean you have to brutalize him.
You: it doesn't matter let's see if the girl is alright.
You turn to the girl who looks at you impressed.
Perception: she is beautiful. Almost hypnotizing in her beauty. A flower in the dead grass, the light in the dark
Half light: I don't trust her.
Composure: you don't trust anyone.
Half light: it helps when we are in a city infested with crime.
You:"are you okay?"
Girl: "yeah thanks for the help. Say how were you able to do that?"
You: "I don't know myself."
Girl: "well goodbye and thanks again"
Volition: don't let her leave use ask her if she knows where your office is.
You: "what a minute I need your help with something.
