Talon what the fuck where you thinking, just because you made a ballsy play at the casino doesn't mean you're immortal and look where it got you, an exploded house and a bit off tongue. You were cocky thinking that nobody would find your home, after all those Harbingers (?) managed to find you easily, why couldn't a skilled assassin with a taste for your blood not track you down? Just because I was high off the feeling of relief doesn't mean I shouldn't check for traps like I normally do. Lo and behold, that bitch Viktoria rigged a bomb to my door and sent me flying, causing me to bite my tongue off when I hit the ground. Thankfully I had that new revolver I obtained from the casino in my hoodie so I barely managed to play dead and get the jump on her. The first shot broke some sort of secret barrier she had set on her and nicked her face. Then with a speed I could barely react to she threw out a dagger, aimed directly at my throat. At that moment time itself seemed to stop, the sensation of blood filling my mouth as I focused with all my strength to shoot at the dagger, and as I fired I'm not sure if it was luck or skill but the bullet hit the dagger and ricochet into her throat, killing her. In the aftermath I patched my tongue back up and studied how to use ASL while getting in touch with my contacts about getting my hands on some explosives.
