Property is Robbery Characters: Noriko Ashida, Open Setting: Gas station near District X Content: Robbery Summary: Noriko needs some cash.
Noriko examined her hair in the streaky mirror of the gas station window, frowning and holding a strand up to the light. It was pretty bright, but she couldn't tell if it had been a wise investment or not. She needed money for her pills, but to make money she'd found it was easier if you looked tough. Which was difficult for a small, teenage Asian girl. No one really took her all that seriously, and if she managed to get money she spent half her time trying to keep it away from the people she shared the streets with.
She slapped the hand drier button again, flipping it upwards and ducking her head to try and get her hair a little drier before the dipshit at the counter realized she hadn't come back with the washroom key yet.
Combing her fingers through her hair she gave herself a final, scrutinizing look, hoisting her bag onto her shoulders and narrowing her eyes at the reflection. Tough. She just needed enough to get some more pills, and then she wouldn't need to rip off places like this. She pushed open the door roughly, gripping the washroom key in her pocket, the obnoxious ruler 'keychain' that prevented people from stealing them (as if anyone would want repeated access to that cesspool) giving a fairly convincing impression of a concealed gun.
