"They were heading into the Copper Stone. Looks like they're staying there for a bit."
The other thug adds, while chuckling, "That guy must be pretty lucky."

Jit exits the building with a handful of goodies. He seems pleased with his finds. Walking back slowly, he inspects a small necklace.
He glances down the alley out of curiousity. Seeing the thug's body, he laughs. Jit takes the remainder of the possessions and continues on his way.
"Guess I'll have to tell Dimitri about this. He won't be pleased, two killings in a day."

"Very good. You will both be rewarded as soon as possible. You may leave now." Dimitri stands and walks through the halls to another room. "They will definately be intrested in this."
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-03-2003 03:11 PM |
|
"Thanks, uh... sir." With that the two leave the room and find a spot in the building to watch TV.

Dimitri walks into a barely lit room with no windows. The most light is the glow of a tv and the two inside are hidden in shadows. "A blonde women who could use magic and had a sword was spotted today. She had a teen that looked like her with her. As well as another women with another girl about 10. There was also a guy carrying an rifle. Ring a bell?"

One of them speaks. He sits hunched forward in a chair with his hands folded between his knees, as if he had been rooting on his favorite football team only seconds earlier. "I'll be damned..." He grins, an action surprisingly visible through the darkness, and puts his hands on his knees. "Nope, don't know them. How about you, Gale?"

Five minutes after leaving the lobby, Ayn and Bianca arrive at the door to their room, already lost in another argument.. They argue and curse at each other in Italian while Ayn opens the door, tosses her sword on a bed and sets a bag of clothing to the side. Ayn finally ends the argument with a dismissive wave of her hand, and sits down on the bed, turning on the television.
Bianca huffs and has a seat on another bed silently.

The Abbis steps forward. Little has changed in the decade. Except now he wears a trench coat. "Nope never heard of them." He snickers and turns to Dimitri. "Where are they?"
"In the Copper Stone Inn. Why are you so intrested in them?"
Gale smirks at Dimitri. He stands up and shuts the door. "How about me and Nyx tell you a story..."

What a town... his night's sleep ended before it even began, as he entered the inn to find the structure looted and employees slain. With a pained expression on his face, he leaves what little money he has left on the counter, hoping a survivor might come to claim it and at least have enough to feed themselves a bit longer. His booted feet drag up the stairs, taking Element to a room in disarray, one that looks as though it's seen many patrons and hasn't been kept tidy in between. He'd rather take this room over an alley, though, so he collapses on the bed with a thwumph of finality, laying on his left side and begging sleep come to im tonight.

Riki climbs into her bed and mutters about taking a short nap. Within minutes, she is asleep.
Rose grabs Fate and leaves the room. She waits around in the hallway for Bianca.

Content that is coast is clear, Fury brings his weapon around again. He checks several different pieces on the rifle and assures the safety is engaged. With a pull of a small lever, the magazine drops free and he pockets it again. After slinging the weapon he stands and heads back to the door.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 07:56 PM |
Jit leaves the bar the thug got killed in. Having gotten as much information about the murderer as possible, he heads towards the inn.
The innkeeper makes a small protest as he heads upstairs. Jit turns too look at him, his eyes gleaming. The innkeeper shuts up.
Jit sets about kicking every door open. "Come out, come out, where ever you are..."

Bianca stands up and glances at Ayn, who's dozed off on her bed, and she quietly slips out the door, darting across the hall and rapping lightly on the door to Rose's room.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 07:59 PM |
|
"Mom's a light sleeper, let's try to not wake her up." Rose pokes Bianca in her back, stepping forward from the shadowed wall she was sitting against. "To the bar?"
|
| Posted by Ayn on 08-03-2003 08:04 PM |
Bianca whirls around in shock and blinks at Rose.
".....Okay.." She sort of giggles. "Think we'll meet a thug?"
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-03-2003 08:04 PM |
|
Fury turns the knob on the front door, swings it open, and steps inside. He leans back on a wall in the lobby, whistling out of sheer boredom.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 08:05 PM |
"I bet we will! I bet he will be all big and ugly with scars all over his face. And he'll have a big rusty sword, too. That sounds thug like, doesn't it?"
---
Jit has nearly reached the end of the hallway. He kicks open another door.
|
| Posted by Ayn on 08-03-2003 08:07 PM |
|
Giggles again, and runs off towards the end of the hallway, creaking the door the stairwell open slowly.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 08:09 PM |

Rose passes by Bianca and sneaks down the stairs, glancing around the corner to see if anyone is around. She pulls back quickly. "Aw, Fury is standing at the door! I forgot about him."
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-03-2003 08:12 PM |
|
The whistling continues, and Fury sits down on one of the lobby's benches. He leans forward and rests his elbows on his knees with his arms crossed.
|
| Posted by Ayn on 08-03-2003 08:16 PM |
|
She stands there, in a thinking pose of sorts. "hmm.. We'll have to distract him then.." She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small sphere, grinning at Rose.. She leans over around the corner and throws it at Fury's feet, and it explodes, causing a cloud of green smoke to fill the lobby.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 08:18 PM |
|
Rose, trying hard not to laugh, runs towards the door. She bounces off the lady behind the desk, who obviously thinks they are under attack.
|
| Posted by Ayn on 08-03-2003 08:25 PM |
Follows suit, shutting the entrance door triumphantly behind her once they are both out.
"I wonder where this bar place is.."
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 08:27 PM |
|
"I dunno. Let's try this way." Grinning, she heads left.
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-03-2003 08:33 PM |
|
Without a second though, Fury jumps to his feet and draws a semi-automatic pistol with his right hand as he shields his face with his left. He scrambles for a clearing in the smoke, hunched over to try and limit how much he inhales.
|
| Posted by Element on 08-03-2003 08:39 PM |
Wait, doors being kicked in could be potentially dangerous! With a brief struggle to rise from bed, Element crouches behind the nearest obstructive piece of furniture and slips a hand into a pocket, hoping he comes across something useful.
Most of these idiots don't look for trouble, they pick off what looks easiest to fall to a bullet... He'd rather not confront this fight as he did in that bar, and remains crouched in the shadows, out of sight of the doorway, and hopefully this antagonist.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 08:45 PM |
|
Jit walks into Element's room. He stares at the bed, still warm. Grinning, he closes the door behind him and bars it with the bed. That done, he begins to systematically search the room. He checks behind the curtains, in the closet and the bathroom.

Runs after Rose, her eyes darting around suspiciously.. maybe she wasn't the strongest person in the world, but she was the oldest.. The idea of being in charge for once is rather exciting as she darts ahead.
|
| Posted by Element on 08-03-2003 08:50 PM |
Well, s**t. This definitely wasn't going to be an idiot theif from the bar, that much was certain. Were it one of those fools, the room would be swiss cheesed with bullets in about ten seconds, if it was even noticed to have been occupied.
His hands resume their quest for a weapon. Damnit, he found a gun easily enough in the bar... A quick twirling of his wrist, and another dagger slips seemingly from nowhere and into his palm. Griping it in a throwing position, he readies to toss it; at least he might warrent an element of surprise this time.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 08:51 PM |
Rose, used to Bianca's command, lets her pass. She keeps her eyes open for any thug bars.
Riki turns over and pulls the blanket over her head. She begins to toss and turn, lost in the depths of a dream.
--
Jit re-enters the main room and spots Element's hiding place. He draws his knife and flicks it at where he is hiding to see if anyone is there.
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-03-2003 08:53 PM |
|
In a loud crash, Fury storms out of the front door of the hotel, coughing on the green smoke. He scans the road left and right with his gun, holding it sideways as he bends over coughing.
|
| Posted by Ayn on 08-03-2003 08:57 PM |
|
Bianca screeches to a halt in front of particularly tattered and run-down building.. She peers at the sign, there is no name, rather, just a crude drawing of a mug of beer.. She figures thugs can't read, and nods to Rose. "Here's a bar..."
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 09:09 PM |
Rose pushes Bianca ahead. "You first."
The noise of the explosion wakes Riki. She sits up and looks around, noticing that Rose has gone. Grabbing Bliss on her way, she goes across the hall to wake up Ayn. "AYN!"
|
| Posted by Element on 08-03-2003 09:10 PM |
|
A cry of pain escapes this hiding place, but a dagger flies out in response to the blade buried in Element's shoulder. With an indignant snarl, he stumbles from the corner and fumbles a firearm out of his left pocket, his right bleeding freely from a protruding dagger. He raises the gun up in what he hopes is a threatening manner, but his arm is trembling so much in an resistance to the pain that he can barely grip it.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 09:12 PM |
|
Jit watches the dagger narrowly pass by his arm. Chuckling, he turns to face Element. "So, you're the guy then. Well well. You see, we rule this town. And we can't have our members being killed off by stoners. So...you have to die." Jit reaches into his jacket pocket and draws a small pistol.
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-03-2003 09:17 PM |
|
By now, Fury has regained his composure and has assumed a two-handed grip on the pistol. Noticing the smoke has dispersed some, he points his weapon to the ground, moves back into the building and heads to rooms 218 and 216.
|
| Posted by Element on 08-03-2003 09:20 PM |
|
"You should be... Ashamed to call them members... They die so easily..." Element stammers, his free hand straying to the dagger embedded in his flesh. With a snarl of pain, he draws it from his flesh, his knuckles white in their strain to resist crying out and abandoning the removal. He lets his own gun's trembling end point at Jit's torso, and his fist still holds the bloody dagger. "I didn't kill them without reason... They... Wasted my drink..."
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-03-2003 09:22 PM |
"Did they now? I'll have to punish them for that. Can't have drinks being wasted." Jit doesn't seemed at all fazed by Element's gun. He prepares to fire Tino, his pistol.
((don't ask about the name...))
|
| Posted by Ayn on 08-03-2003 09:24 PM |
Ayn stirs slightly at the nose, being somewhat of a hard sleeper, then mumbles something inaudible.
~~~~~
Bianca falls forward, her hands pushing the door open to keep her balance.. With a mixture of fear and fascination, she peers inside.
|
| Posted by Element on 08-03-2003 09:27 PM |
((...Tino? Sounds like Jit's significant other. Long-lost love, perhaps?))
"Shoot, and I'll return the favor," Element murmurs, and his grip on his own weapon tenses. "I doubt you'd sacrifice your life over the loss of thre lackies... Or are you really so worthless?"
