Ray: Yea, you can say that. It hasnt gotten any better out there...

[TheRedStranger]

*Jack chuckles then coughs , all the while his tail probes for the feel of his opponent ankle and prepares to wraps about it.*

Jackie: "That's disappointin'...fer both us when ya think about it, mate. I mean, I'm as penniless as the waste'r dry. Ya might as well be robbin' one'a these rocks."

*Jackie chuckles with a that special type of mirth that temps others to join in on the laugh.*

"But maybe I can help you another way....in fact we can help each other in a big way. Tell me friend, are you as fond of wealth as I? Do you like money?"

*Jackie waits for the bandit to speak. If he consents he will press on in his diplomacy. If he does not...he will strike at the most opportune time."

Jackie: "Be quick about this... You an' both know the worst the wastes 'ave ta offer will be slither outta their 'oles soon. The worst devils come out at dark. The more we squabble...the less safe we are."

[RedAuthar]

-Jack-

Voice:  Ya really think I be foolish enough to listen to a rookie like yaself?  'Ow 'bout ya tell me an' I don't pierce a 'ole through ya right now?

 

-Ray-

Chef:  Yeah.  You don't know how many corners we've been having to cut around here.

[Uncle Ben]

Ray: And it sucks you have to... I cant find anything out there, everything seems dried up. *Ray makes a stone seat and sits down*

[TheRedStranger]

[Jackie's eyes narrow...his lips quirk in a smug sneer.

Jackie: "Kill me an' all you get is a bloody cloak you can't wear an' no one'll buy. Afterall, that's a scent and stain that never washes out. You should know this by now if you're as seasoned as you imply. Ya can't get what I'm givin' unless I'm there ta give it to ya. So're ya intrested? Let's make this quick - you want nothin' fer nothin', or somethin' fer nothin' fer nothin' at all?"]

If he has to, Jackie will strike in mid sentence when his oppnent's mind his occupied with talking.

[Raven]

"What is that... Probably my only lead." Pit mutters to himself as he quietly makes his way towards the red dot, trying to keep a low profile.

[ILOVEVHS]

Lowell: Just some work I'm needed for tomorrow. It's fine.
(Technically not lying. HA)

[RedAuthar]

-Ray-

Chef:  Well it isn't like we didn't cut corners while Robotnik was in charge.

 

-Jack-

[His ambusher remains silent....eerily silent.  In fact the metal seems to have disappeared.  Jack's tail feels the figure behind him fall over backwards]

 

-Pit-

[As he nears the light something reaches out and grabs a hold of his leg.  It's a robotic claw]

 

-Lowell-

Wolf:  Is it Knothole again? 

[Uncle Ben]

Ray: True but even then it wasnt as bad, resources were much better back then. Now with those pods out there it just flat out sucks

[ILOVEVHS]

(...well, fuck. Gotta think this over)

[Raven]

On instinct, Pit stomps his other foot down on the robotic arm, attempting to break it.

[TheRedStranger]

[Jackie hears the thump.]

Jackie: "I'll take that as a no..."

[Jackie's heart pulses once again, yet this time not in a nervous flutter but a brazen pound. The tensions sinks deep into him. Adrenalin trickles through his veins. Each movement and sense winds up. His snout sniffles, his eyes open wide, his ears prick up as he tries to soak in every sound, sight, and scent about him. He swiftly pivots and hops back around, creating distance from the unknow incident behind him. His ears funnel back. His incisors extended from his lips. He brandishes his weapon, his footing enguard in a tight L-shaped stance for quick movement and close-quarters. He raises his left paw to shield his vitals about his chest, just in case something slips passed his gaurd.]

[RedAuthar]

-Ray-

Chef:  You have me there, but I'm sure it can't be hopeless everywhere.

 

-Lowell-

[He thinks it over causing an awkward pause....]

 

-Pit-

[The action works snapping the claw, still attached to his leg, from the arm.  Suddenly the light starts moving in his direction]

 

-Jack-

[The sound of laughter from the ghostly traveler returns....it's time to run]

[Uncle Ben]

Ray: That's the thing, maybe this was more localized than we thought.

[TheRedStranger]

Jackie: "O' Isa, be with me..."

 

[Jackie looks around to gain his bearings, seeking out a precipice for which to take flight and to avoid running head long into any other unseen atrocities.]

 

Jackie: "Sorry about this, mate."

 

He takes anything he can get from the bandit's corpse in a quick and convinient grab with his free hand as he flips his club back in it's holster.

 

Jackie: "Need this more than you now."

 

Without any hesitation he speeds across the ragged and winding path to the Underground, a safe haven beyond this twisted spirits huant. He pumps his legs and hustles as fast as he can on his legs before bounding forward on his forepaws, launching himself forward on all fours.]

[Raven]

Pit holds out his hands and drains a bit of his own anima to cast a spell. He encases his claws in even bigger slashing claws made of glowing green anima, these claws better suited than his syringe claws. After casting the spell, Pit readies himself for anything.

[Mike Arcade]

Geoffrey honestly couldn't think of anyone else to go on this mission, it's not like he was the most sociable person around The Kingdom despite his hard work. Oh what the hell, he might as well ask...

 

Geoffrey: Yes it is, perhaps you could recommend me a few more team members Councilmen. 

[ILOVEVHS]

(Lowell decides to be trustworthy)

Lowell: Yes, why do you ask?

[RedAuthar]

-Lowell-

Wolf:  I see.  Thank you.

[He leaves mysteriously as he came]

 

-Geoffrey-

Rotor:  I have one.  Miles Prower.  

 

-Pit-

[The Beast stops as soon as it comes into view and roars loudly at him]

 

-Jack-

[Jack reaches the entrance to the Underground.  The Laughing followed him all the way but ceases as he arrives]

 

-Ray-

Chef:  Isn't that what the scouts are for? 

[ILOVEVHS]

(Lowell gets a bad feeling after the wolf leaves)
