The drive from her small apartment to Anteiku was a mere ten minutes, fifteen if the stoplights decided to turn red on every turn. Today, all the lights were green, so she made it to work early. Rhiannon's stomach wasn't feeling very well when she began to walk through the doors though. She had some time to go down to the fridge to get her 'meal' before working. If she went to work while hungry, who knew what would happen to the costumers...
That's right, Rhiannon was a ghoul, but unlike some, she didn't crave the killing of humans nor the wanting to create chaos. She was peaceful, and actually envied humans more than anything. However, a ghoul was a ghoul. Nothing would change that. Rhiannon's attempts to digest human food had, overtime, ruined her health as a ghoul, and her fighting capabilities. Her rinkaku could hardly be called a way of selfdefense. It couldn't be used as a weapon either. All that human food and lack of actual human meat made her too weak to hunt for herself, therefore making a job at Anteiku hitting two birds with one stone; she had a source of food (although only when she desperately needed it) and a source of money.
Rhiannon didn't wave to anyone inside the cafe since she really began to feel the hunger. Thankfully, Anteiku wouldn't actually open for human customers for another 15 minutes, because if there were any humans in the room, they'd see a girl with ghoulish red eyes stumbling to the back of the cafe. 'I-I need to eat...' She thought, trying her hardest to contain the monstrous hunger. She found herself disgusting, ugly, and horrifying when she was truly hungry.
Once she made her way towards the secret fridge, the one that stored all the meat specifically and only for ghouls, she opened it up immediately. She could feel that urge to feast on something living nearby. No matter how human she wanted to act, a ghoul would always hunger for human flesh. Rhiannon grabbed a package and tore it open as quickly as possible before grabbing the piece of red meat and stuff it in her mouth. A satisfying feeling came over her.
The heavy breathing slowed down, the red in her eyes faded away to their usual hazel color. The girl had an urge to cry as she chewed the food, and then swallowed, but it was something that had to be done. She wasn't going to cry over something that silly. After heading to the bathroom afterwards, to clean up her face, fix her hair, and try to look normal again, she cleared her throat, and headed back to the cafe floor, where they would open shortly.
Rhiannon put on her usual normal-looking smile. At first glance, or maybe even second or third, Rhiannon looked just like a normal person. "Sorry about that sight." The waitress apologized to those who were in the room. She was about to recommend opening the shop early before the news on the TV caught her eye.
"-and yet another attack by a ghoul had happened, despite CCG assuming that they'd take care of the situation." On the TV, a man holding a microphone was speaking into the camera in front of what looked like a crime scene, but nothing could be seen due to the angle the cameraman chose. "The body appears to have been opened, and with the condition the rest of it is in, it appears to be the work of a ghoul, but not just any ghoul, a kakuja. The woman who was murdered this very morning has been confirmed to be a ghoul, and it has been known that only cannibalistic ghouls, or kakuja, eat their own kind. Lately...-"
"Huh..." Rhiannona murmured. "It looks like they're becoming more active lately. I didn't expect the population of cannibals to be so high though..." Rhiannon sighed with a shake of her head and had a seat at one of the vacant tables. The rising population of kakuja was a concern nowadays, but it wasn't only for humans. The lives of ghouls were at stake too.
The morning breeze was chilly, and water hit hit skin like the tips of feathers, pecking at him. It was sprinkling outside. Not enough to make your hair wet, or enough to leave the dark dots in your clothing, but the water could be felt on your skin. Ukyo Akihito looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, the clouds light grey, but it wasn't dark. The white morning sun hiding behind the clouds made the sky glow brilliantly.
Ukyo sighed. He normally slept during the day, but he didn't feel like sleeping right now. The weather was nice. It wouldn't hurt him to forfeit one night, or day, of sleep. And so he walked along the sidewalk, hands in his pockets, counting the sections in it aloud as he went.
"Ichi...ni...san...yon...go...roku...nana...hachi...kyΕ«." He whispered. He spent his days like this now, being bored, doing trivial things just to keep his attention for a short amount of time, hoping the time would pass a little quicker. He tried getting jobs, but he could never seem to hold onto them. He came to a stop and lifted his head. In front of him was Anteiku, a coffee shop mostly aimed towards ghoul customers. About a third of the customers that came and went weren't human. He'd been inside a few times, himself.
He opened the door and walked in, sitting at a table by the windows. He didn't look at anybody, but he wondered if they were looking at him. Ukyo was known to be one of the ghouls that still hunted for food in the peaceful 20th Ward, so it would be strange for him to come into Anteiku.
