"Why would me feelings change?" Gale crosses his arms.

"............" Her eyes blaze with anger, and she silently sheathes her sword and runs out the door. She was going to find that bastard.. And she'll be the one sending him to Hell.
~~~~~~~
Bianca looks around, terrified, desperately trying to free her wrists.

Gale leans against the wall and glances at Bianca and Rose. He notices the Rose has slipped out and turns back. He then does a double take. "-_-Well we know now Jit can't tie ropes." Gale starts to walk over to rose. His palm glowing.

Riki follows Ayn. She'll send him to Hell and back for this. All of them.
---
Rose pulls the gag from her mouth. Her eyes-Gale's eyes- crack into fear. "Leave me alone..."

"..Why do kids always think that saying something like "Stay back!" or "Don't come any closer" is gonna save their ass? Wrong." Gale creates a bubble and fires it at Rose.
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-05-2003 01:32 PM |
|
Rose stares at Gale through the bubble, wondering what he is doing.
|

"Hmph. That should hold. With any look the other kid's rope won't loosen."
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-05-2003 01:45 PM |

Rose pushes back on the bubble. It was small enough to fit through the door. "I'm not going to sit in his power again...once was bad enough!"

Tor sneaks down a street, trying to keep in the shadows. He's seen a hell of alot of things today he'd rather not and would prefer to keep in the shadows. However coming up on an inn, he spies what appears to be someone slightly familiar, if... well... deader than usual.
He takes out one of his pistols, and sneaks over to what appears to be Element's body
Is he still alive? I think. I'm no doctor though.
Bandages? Hm. No-one who'd make someone bleed like this would bandage them... Who else is here?
Realising he's babbling, Tor checks around to see if there's anyone coming before looking for signs of life

Now sitting up, Fury uses a second patch of gauze and the remaining medical tape to fashion a bandage around his shoulder, which, despite it's appearance, hadn't taken as much mechanical damage as he had feared. The bullet had passed through and the joint had been spared, but part of the bone and the flesh around it was destroyed, blasted like poorly made hamburger meat. Cutting the roll of tape with his teeth, he finishes securing the patch to his wound and slowly stands up. Unfortunately, he remembers the stab in his back too late, and groans in pain as he stands. The shot to his back had been stopped by a nylon vest, but the stab hit it's mark. Freezing in a half-standing position for a moment, he winces hard and stands upright, cringing even harder as the wound protests.

Riki begins to slow, exhausted and becoming weaker by the minute. She stops to rest, breathing heavily, against a tree.
--
Rose pushes through the door. The room of thugs stare at her. "...."
|
| Posted by Gale on 08-05-2003 11:10 PM |
One of the thugs stands up. "The hell is a kid doing here?!"
Gale stands and walks into the room. He sees Rose trying to escape again. "Why can't you be a good girl like Bianca?" He sends a blast of electricity through the bubble and walks up to it. He backhands Rose to try to knock her out. "Damned kids.."
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-05-2003 11:15 PM |
Rose gasps in pain. She manages to stay concious, however.
"Escape...bad idea...but I have to stay awake."
--
In his room, Jit rolls over in his bed, unable to get comfortable. Still stinging from Fury's attack, he vainly tries to soothe the pain.
|
| Posted by Gale on 08-06-2003 10:06 PM |

Gale stretches and starts to walk off. "Some one keep an eye on them. I am not going to look after two brats."
|
| Posted by Toryu on 08-09-2003 02:03 PM |
After noting that Element stills seems to be breathing, Tor puts his jacket over his shoulder to keep him warm.
Don't worry, I'll get help for y~
He realises that Element's probably not concious, so writes his message on a sticky yellow note, and sticks it to Element's arm.
Content with a job well done, he sneaks off down the street. A few minuites later, he spies someone else who appears to be injured, but standing. Not wanting to get on the guy's bad side, he tries staying in the shadows.

Fury slowly reaches around to his back and searches for the source of pain. He finds the handle of the knife still stuck in his back and wraps his hand around it, only to send another wave of pain through his gut--The blade was lodged under the back of his right rib cage. Stifling a groan, he slowly lets go of the knife, having lost the will to tamper with it any further, and takes a deep breath. Fury looks around, trying to find the others, or anyone for that matter.
|
| Posted by Toryu on 08-09-2003 02:49 PM |
Figuring the man probably won't attack him, Tor steps out of the shadows, a pistol hidden behind his back just in case
Um... Hi! What happened here? Are you okay?
...are they gone?
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-09-2003 07:15 PM |
|
Rose, now alone, manages to pop the bubble against a sharp knife. Trying hard not to look at Bianca, she opens a window and climbs out. "I'll be back, don't worry!"

Gale walks into Dimitri's office and Dimitri looks at him. "You said Jit ran away?" Gale nods and takes a seat. Dimitri thinks to himself. "He was one of my best, but if he's running away from fights, maybe his usefullness is running short. You and Nyx are doing quite well on your own." Gale stretches. "So you want him dead?" Dimitri chuckles. "No. He actually has a bounty on him. I'm thinking of cashing it.." Gale takes out a ciggerate and lights it. "I don't give a shit either way. We have those kids and Ayn and Riki will be running to save them." Dimitri takes one of Gale's ciggerates and lights it. "You never did illustrate why you hate those two." Gale takes the ciggerate out of his mouth. "Riki pushed her luck to far when she showed her face after nearly being killed. A stupid move. Ayn.." Gale remains silent for a moment. "I could never fully describe why. But since when do you need a reason." Dimitri smiles. "Just curious. Regardless I lost quite a few men today. They're gonna be hunted as long as they're here."
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-09-2003 07:42 PM |
Riki slows to a stop, again. "This is senseless. I have no idea where I am going. I need to rest...and use my instincts. I'm running blindly and not getting any stronger." For the second time that night, she leans against a tree. Closing her eyes, she concentrates on Rose. A little while later, she opens her eyes again, look to the southeast, a little to the right of the direction she had been travelling. Somewhat rested, she waves to Ayn and begins in that direction, trusting her instincts.
----
Rose runs hard from the building, fearing being recaptured. She heads back the way she came.
---
Jit mutters and wakes up, in pain. In a foul mood, he walks out to the room Bianca is in. Half awake, he doesn't notice that Rose is gone. He grabs her roughly by the arm and pulls her into his room.

"Wha...?" Fury turns around, slightly hunched over and his left eye winced closed. "Yeah... No one here but us chickens."

The hammer to a weapon clicks into place in the back of Dimitri's office. "So..." Nyx is the source of the voice, leaning on the wall to the left of the door, a submachinegun in his right hand and a pair of sunglasses on his face. "Would you like that check cashed now, or later?"

| Posted by Gale on 08-10-2003 06:38 PM |

Dimtri turns to Nyx. "We'll save it for tomorrow. You two have seemed to accomplish a great deal tonight."
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-10-2003 06:57 PM |
|
"Fair enough." With a flick of his thumb, Nyx safeties the gun and hangs it on the rack above him.
|
| Posted by Toryu on 08-11-2003 01:36 PM |
Chicken? I could take offence...
So.. what happnened here? More of those thugs? And... you are aware you have a knife in your back, right?
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-11-2003 01:56 PM |
|
Fury looks over his shoulder at the knife. "Uh... Yeah, actually..." He looks back at Toryu and squints. "Hey, wait, don't I know you?"
|
| Posted by Toryu on 08-11-2003 02:10 PM |
Maybe.. You look kinda familiar too... I dunno.
You visit many bars? Maybe you've seen me before in one?
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-11-2003 02:49 PM |
|
"Like Tri-Link's?" He smiles a bit on recognizing someone he knows. "Hah, you're Toryu..."
|
| Posted by Toryu on 08-11-2003 03:15 PM |
o_0 That's a first... See if i can guess you... Knife in back, pained expression, looking like a fight victim...
Fury? What're you doing here?
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-11-2003 11:23 PM |

"Getting stabbed in the back, making pained expressions, and doing my best to look like a fight victim." He kicks a nearby body to make sure it's dead. "Well, I think I made off better than some of these guys..."

Bianca's eyes shimmer with tears at the thought of being left alone, and she struggles with the ropes tying her hands together.. When she is unable to do so, she simply stares down at the floor, a lone tear sliding down her nose and hitting the floor with a soft patter. She looks up suddenly as she's grabbed and moved out of the room, and cries harder.
|

Gale turns to Nyx and motions for him to follow. When Gale steps out of the office he sees the crying Bianca being dragged into Jit's room. When he sees that Rose is gone as well, he thinks nothing off it. He waits for Nyx to close the door. "We have a few options. After we cash the bounty and bring it to Dimitri, we could kill the kids and leave. We also could stick around. What are your thoughts?"
|
| Posted by Wolf on 08-27-2003 10:03 AM |
((and...she's back! Not really! For a post, anyway! Hi!))
Rose and Riki collide unexpectedly, knocking each other to the ground. Rose rubs her sore head and looks at her mother. Rikali embraces Rose, estatic to have her daughter back.
"Mom, cut it out, you're suffocating me..."
"Oh, sorry. Are you okay? Where's Bianca? Where did they take you? Gale will pay for this."
"I'm fine. Bianca is still with them, at some sort of building back there somewhere. There's a lot of gang people there, and Gale and Nyx."
"Gale and Nyx? Won't this be a big old happy reunion."
Riki slashes trees with Bliss as the two run towards the headquarters, leaving a trail for Ayn to follow. As the small building comes into view, Riki slows down.
"Rose, sta-"
"No, mom. I'm coming to. They have Bianca in there!"
Riki stares at her daughter before nodding once. She takes off her protective cloak and gives it to Rose. "Wear this. I'll go first. Count to one hundred then follow. Keep low and don't let yourself be seen. Where are they keeping Bianca?"
"In the back of the building, I think."
"Then you go there. I'll go around to the front and distract them long enough for you to rescue her and get out."
Riki moves out silently as Rose begins to count.
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 08-29-2003 08:57 PM |
(What'd you get grounded for?)
"Look, Toryu, we need to, ugh, find Ayn and Riki. Now." Squinting, Fury takes a deep breath, reaches around to his back, and yanks the knife out.
***
Nyx snorts in the direction of Jit's room. "Sick son of a bitch." He reaches in a pocket and leans against the wall next to the doorway. "Personally," A cigarette meets Nyx's mouth and he lights it with a silver lighter, shielding the flame with his other hand. "I'd like to stick around. Although if we stick around I'm going to want to deal with some of this trash. I only have one question: After we leave, is Dimitri still valuable to us at all?"

Element's feeble form quivers pitifully, the ragged human body stained with blood and bandages that could use some care. He doesn't look ready to die of bloodloss, but perhaps infection may take its toll. All in all, the haggared dragon looks glumly at the hallway and the now-crimson rugs, which seem to dance impishly about his eyes before he passes out again.

Gale looks at Jit's room breifly and turns to Nyx. "So, the great Assasin, Nyx, has some compassion." Gale laughs quietly. "Very well. We shall stay. As far as Dimitri, iff he survives the soon coming wrath of the girls' friends, then he is useful. He's about the only one of use in this wretched city. If he doesn't survive, no lose."
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-01-2003 07:56 PM |
"Some things are worse than death, my friend." The end of the cigarette glows orange as Nyx draws in a breath. "Speaking of compassion, I believe you passed up a perfect chance to deal with Fury for good."
***
Back in the middle of the town's deserted main road, Fury walks back towards the bar, where his assault rifle still lay after all the madness. He picks it up and checks the magazine, and jams it back in after asserting it still holds ammo. "Time for a little payback..." With a pull of the bolt he ensures the weapon is ready to fire and assumes a two-handed grip on it.
"Riki! Ayn! Are you guys out here?"
|
| Posted by Gale on 09-01-2003 08:16 PM |

"I have nothing against Fury. Despite my reputation, I never kill anyone who hasn't pissed me off or gets in my way. Fury has never really caused me that much trouble and at the moment he was already half dead. He held no threat to me." Gale takes the ciggerate out of his mouth and steps on it. "Besides I was already doing Jit's work for him. The wretched little coward. The day I'll go off and kill Fury at your request is the day you kill Ayn at mine. Which reminds me.." Gale lights another ciggerate "Aren't you still working for Rand?"
|
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-01-2003 08:28 PM |
|
"Between you and me," He pauses, considering his words. "No. Rand is too ambitious for his own good. He doesn't know yet, but eventually we'll wind up comfronting each other and it'll be to the death. I know it."
|
| Posted by Gale on 09-01-2003 08:33 PM |

"I didn't think so. I never liked the guy, but he has assisted me in some way." Gale chuckled. "He sent that idiot Yolanda after me. She was just as foolish as her daughters."
