slayer_frayWhen Mel first came into the bar, wielding her scythe vicously, she was in the middle of a fight. A little beaten, but nothing too major. And she recovered quickly enough from the shock of being in a tav with long dead Slayers.
The second time she came in through the front door, she hurtled through the bar with a broken arm and a knife in her leg, and landed on her nose in a bloody heap in the middle of the floor. The injuries took some time to heal, but she managed, and was soon laughing with her friends.
Murphy McManus carried Mel in after the Timwar, unconscious and broken and bleeding from four bullet wounds.
The fourth time, Mel twirled in locked in a dance with half a dozen lurks, whom she dusted within second of arriving. She suffered superfical scrapes and a dislocated shoulder, but had been buzzing from the thrill of the chase, the hunt, closing the net down, and the most productive forty eight hours in her life.
She came back from Hell, bloody and unconsicous, in the arms of her vampiric brother, and had to be magically healed for the first time in her life, due to demonic poison in a woud that just wouldn't heal naturally.
Melaka Fray? Has a thing for dramatic entrances.
So while it might be promising when the door flies back on its hinges as if it had been kicked open, it's probably relatively disappointing when Mel falls through at waist height, feet first, Security badge in hand, and lands on her feet with all the casual grace of someone dismounting a playground slide.
Her clothes might be splattered with blood, but it's not hers. Standing up straight, she runs a hand through her hair, removing the loosened throwing knives and shaking it free, all the while scanning the bar with a business like expression.
As far as entrances go, physically, she hasn't looked better.
Psychologically, she hasn't been worse.
