Beneath the Surface, the Cat Assassin's Not-so-cold Heart

As an assassin registered in Columbia and currently working part-time in Rhodes Island's HR department, codenamed No. 77, Nana is preparing her gear for a mission. The WA2000 sniper rifle—long barrel, short overall length, can be carried discreetly in a carrying case; its .300 caliber specially etched rounds, combined with Originium Arts spells, can take the target along with their armor and cover. The M1911 ICA Custom—a grip designed to fit a girl's hand, .45 caliber etched rounds, seven-round standard magazine… to be used with concealed holsters on the thigh and underarm. Be careful of the weight of the all-metal design; don't let the gear slip off your bodysuit. Nylon rope—Nana's signature weapon… a paracord bracelet would make it legitimately portable.

Don't wait until you need something and realize you don't have it and start searching everywhere.] He glanced at the semi-transparent woman in front of him, then looked through the shadow to the doorway: "Rosemary?" The white kitten, as white as a cloud, heard the call, twitched its ears, and stood up: "I'm here." "Let's go."
