Holly appeared in the middle of an alley in a place she didn't recognize. Everything was fluctuating from practically teleporting to standing completely stil, and she wasn't entirely sure why. It was sometime in the middle, ending, it all was changing to fast for her to keep up, and then she felt a powerful burning sensation in her chest. She pulled her shirt open enough for her to look down at it, and saw a six sided device, embedded in her chest right where her heart should be. She reached down to touch it, and it was like touching an exposed nerve. But, it was right there in that moment that things stopped fluctuating. Things were right and totally frozen.
"Okay, so nothing is moving, and I'm pretty sure that I died. Well the first thing to do is try and figure out where I am." She looked around, and sure enough there was a hobo in the middle of taking a leak, people walking by on their phones, but none of them were making any noise. But, always the optimist, she decided to try to talk to one of the people on their Cell Phone. "Hello good sir, I seem to be in a spot of trouble,and I was wondering if you could assist me. I just need to know where I actually am." She waited around for what felt like a minute, but she got no response.
And then, it was at that moment that Holly Quick, self proclaimed Master Burglar, had a wonderfully mean idea as she rooted around in the person's pocket and took out his wallet, and looked at his license. "Now lets see who we have here, a 'Mr. Pos' of Central City, carrying, a few Zeni. Well that's dissapointing, he didn't even have enough money for a decent lunch on him. But, I suppose I should try to get things started again." She tossed the wallet onto the ground and tried touching the device in her chest again, and again it hurt like hell. Also like before things stayed frozen.
She tried for what felt like hours, poking and prodding at the device, eventually she stopped feeling like she was ripping her arm off when she touched it, and eventually she felt like she was turning some kind of knob in her brain. Not with her brain, but inside of it. And amazingly, this combination of prods managed to get things flowing. Not quite right, everything was still a bit slow, but still, it was better then the complete halt she had been at.
Now that she knew where she was, and was able to actually cause time to start flowing again, she checked her wallet to make sure she still had it, and found she had 2000 Zeni in there and her fake ID. So she went to the local bar to try and get drunk.

By the time that Holly had arrived at the Bar, she was starting to get used to interacting with the world at the slightly slower speed then she was used to. She had gotten some looks for being able to move a lot faster than everyone else at first, and for walking so awkwardly when she was walking at the same pace as everyone else. She figured she would just suck up the negative attention until she got back to things the way she was used too. But, she walked up to the bouncer, showed her Fake ID as she had a million times before, and they let her in.
It was much the same as the dozens of other bars that let her in. Dingy, barely up to health code, all the patrons were either clearly too young, much like herself, or going for a brooding tough guy macho look. Not to say that there wasn't any overlap, but for the most part they were surprisingly distinct. She knew that the easiest way to get a handle on this whole time thing was to experiment, and she had already felt the weird knob thing inside of her brain that seemed to change time. So, she once again tried to adjust it forward, now in a place where she probably wouldn't get too many awkward looks, since everyone was too busy trying to get drunk.
Unfortunately for her she had forgotten that people will hit on anyone just about, especially if they are drunk, and when she tried turning up the dial a bit, she made everything way faster than she was, and the guy, clearly about 16, who had tried to hit on her was drunk enough to feel violent. She recognized what was happening, and slowed it down before it could get particularly far, but she still fell on her ass from getting knocked off balance. It wound up with him getting the attention of someone and she was pretty sure that the asshole broke her nose. But, it wasn't broken. It didn't even look like she had gotten punched at all.
But, she spent the next hour pacing out the 20 ounces of beer she bought with the last of the money, and practicing with the weird knob she could feel in her head now. After a while she was able to almost control it with some sort of actual finesse. She half considered going and teaching that guy a lesson in fighting when she could slow him down to slow motion just long enough to dodge everything he threw at her. But, she decided if she was going to do something like that then she had best actually be sober, and she remembered that she didn't actually have a place to stay for the night. She then realized that she didn't actually feel tired, and she had no idea how long she had been up.
Maybe this would all be easier after a good nights rest then.

It was a few hours after the botched attempt at trying to master perceiving the world at various speeds. Holly Quick, self proclaimed master thief, was lying in a bed at a sleazy motel. The rent for the night was 50,000 Zeni. It was highway robbery just about, but she made up for it with literal highway robbery. But, she figured she needed a good nights sleep, so she got into the bed, and laid there, trying to go to sleep.
But, sleep didn't come. She lied there for what seemed like hours trying to go unconscious, but ultimately found herself incapable of it. "Maybe a good tussle will help me get to sleep. Damn, if only Gus were here." She laid about, trying to ponder it more, before finally getting up. "Well, I guess it's going to change by not doing anything, and that's a damn shame." And so, she got out of bed, got dressed, and went downstairs to the lobby. She turned down time to as slow as she could make it, which, in retrospect, was a pretty dumb idea.
She walked up to the person behind the counter, his smug face. It was the perfect thing to punch. And so punch she did, as hard as she could. Unfortunately, she wasn't aware of the physics behind things, and wound up punching him with enough force to completely vaporize his head on the atomic level, and also unfortunately for the establishment that they were in, unlike the people strong enough to tank blasts that would level cities and root themselves to the ground unnaturally, this was a normal ass guy, who's corpse went flying at mach 4 through a load bearing wall, and while he basically was atomized on impact, the wall wasn't designed to take that kind of stress either, so it had a huge whole in it. And Unfortunately for Holly, she just had a fairly normal fist, which also disintegrated on contact from the amount of force behind the punch.
As unfortunate as all of that was, with a building suddenly being a whole lot less stable, and on the verge of collapsing, having everything barely moving at all is a good thing. So, while she was freaking out about how her hand was vaporized, she ran out the front door, and just kept running until she didn't know where she was anymore. At some point she guessed she must have sped up time without thinking about it, because people were walking around like normal, and she was starting to hear of a terrible situation as a "Lazy Motel" had collapsed under mysterious circumstances just recently.

Holly was in something of an interesting position. She was half a city away from where she had accidentally killed a bunch of people and collapsed a building. She wasn't entirely sure how well the cops would be looking for a person with strange powers. She wasn't actually sure how she would measure on that sort of scale. Sure, she was able to move and apparently hit like someone way more powerful than the normal human, but she didn't know what exactly their devices searched for.
But, either way, she was used to having to hide from cops, she got into an alley corner, huddled up in the cool night air, and hoped to high heaven that the liquid she was laying down in was gutter water and not some hobo's piss. In the morning she could deal with all of this craziness, but the cops probably wouldn't suspect some homeless woman in an ally miles from the spot of the crime. She shut her eyes and hoped that she could pass off being asleep.

Holly was probably at the lowest she'd been since her parents died a few years ago. It felt like years anyway, who could tell how long it had actually been. But, that wasn't important anymore, not at this moment anyway. At the moment she wasn't sure how well she was pretty sure someone was looking for her as a wanted terrorist for destroying a building and killing a bunch of people on accident, and now she was sleeping in what she was hoping was gutter water pretending to be asleep when she wasn't tired after she was pretty sure she was awake for days.
But, eventually, in spite of everything, the sun rose. Nobody called her in for questioning, nobody trying to ask her to move to the side, and she thought that today would be a better day. She would get some money the way she always did, not get drunk, not make any fuss, and she would get an idea of how to really control her powers. And with that, she wasn't really sure where she would try to go, but the world would be her oyster.
So, looked at herself in a window. She needed a bath, and a new set of clothes or three. And fortunately for her, she was able to slow down everyone else so they wouldn't see her taking them. And she did exactly that. She found that it was getting a lot easier to change speed precisely as she kept on doing it.
And so, it was a solid rest of the day. She got that bath, she stole a handful of new clothes, and practiced changing time for multiple days worth of time, and had a bunch of picked wallets that she decided to take so she could get a nice meal, even though she wasn't really feeling hungry. But, she still ate anyway since that's just what she's always done with stolen money.
